Eternal Villain: I can enslave Reality!

Chapter 208 208: Ninth Hall Master



The City seemed to have returned to its usual state, giving off the impression of normalcy.

Two days had passed since the tragic incident in which the population of the City had halved. Even most of the Guards were killed. Fortunately, the City had recalled some Royal Guards who were stationed in other cities to maintain order.

The citizens also didn't create much trouble. There were occasionally some protests by people who had lost their family in the incident, but the protests were immediately controlled, even if the use of brute force was needed.

The repair work of many buildings had also started, with many artisans brought from other Cities. The buildings that were destroyed were constructed again.

Most people tried to forget the recent incident, trying to think of it as a nightmare, but it was hard to forget.

Two days had passed but no one had seen Xu Shan after that moment. Even the Empress wasn't seen. Both of them stayed inside the Mansion, with the mansion being guarded by the Generals who had survived.

No one understood what the two of them were doing inside, but there were many stories. Some rumours stated that Xu Shan was a lustful person and from the last two days, he had been playing with the Empress' body to fulfil his desires, because of which no one was allowed to enter.

Another rumour was that Xu Shan was torturing the Empress and the Empress wasn't resisting because she wanted to protect the Dynasty and her citizens. Some people had sympathy for the Empress while others hated her.

Amongst the rumours, there was only one thing that was confirmed. It was that the hierarchy of the World had changed. Now the epitome of strength was Xu Shan.

Even the Shadow Hall which had always resisted the Empress was scared. Divine Empress was already scary enough, but another monster had appeared.

Some voices started rising in the Shadow Hall, suggesting that they should surrender. There were also some hard headed people who still didn't want to surrender.

"Even if we surrender, do you think they'll let us live?! That Empress is a bit*h! We've troubled her so much, she'll kill us the moment we surrender!"

"We won't surrender to her! We'll surrender to the man!" Another person suggested.

"What if he agrees with her? Haven't you heard that he's in a relationship with that bit*h? We can't take risks on possibilities! Surrender is out of the question!"

"What do you suggest? As you can already see, we don't have many options left!"

"There is one option! It's that we stick to our plan! We must assassinate them! That bit*h and her lover must be killed!" The First Hall Master suggested, killing intent flashing in his eyes.

"Easier said than done! Who here thinks he can assassinate that man? Didn't you hear how strong he is?" The Second Hall Master refuted.

"For an assassin, strength doesn't matter! All that matters is one opportunity!" The First Hall Master exclaimed.

"I agree with the First Hall Master," the Third Hall Master stated his opinion. "If there's an opportunity, even an ant can kill a god, let alone us! We can either put our life on the line and surrender or we can risk it all! You all know which option I support!"

Amongst the mine hall masters, four had sided with the First Hall Master while the other four sided with the Second Hall Master. In the end, the decision was left on the last person.

The decision landed on the Ninth Hall Master who was the youngest amongst them. It hadn't even been half a year since the boy joined the Shadow Hall and he had already managed to grab the seat of a Hall Master with his strength.

The Ninth Hall Master looked at everyone, his eyes clearly carrying a decision.

"Surrender won't work before that person. He's an evil man, who can kill anyone that he considers a potential risk for him. You'll be the first he kills if you go before him. So I agree with the First Hall Master. We shall assassinate him!"

As the Ninth Hall Master spoke, his voice carried a hint of hatred.

"Did you have an interaction with that man before?" One of the Hall Master asked, feeling as if the Ninth Hall Master had a personal enmity with Xu Shan.

"It's none of your concern. Tell me when the plan is ready." The Ninth Hall Master stood up, leaving the meeting.

It was already decided that they were going to assassinate the Queen and the new star of Divine Realm.

While many citizens were wondering what Xu Shan was doing to the Empress, he stood next to the Divine Empress.

Both of them were in the centre of the City, albeit underground.

An entire city was created under the city that people considered the Royal City. But in this underground City, there were no houses.

There was only a vast formation that could be seen spread around as far as the eyes could see. The formation was as big as the Core Region of the Royal City in size, but that wasn't where it stopped. From that point on, the formation continued above the ground, connected through special points.

It was certainly the work that took years to get to this point and even now, it was not complete.

"How long until it's completed?" Xu Shan asked the Divine Empress while observing the construction work continuing.

"A week at most," the Divine Empress asked, slightly regretful.

If this Formation was completed a month ago, she could've already broken through to the Immortal Realm and left this place before meeting this monster.

Unfortunately, it was too late for now. Xu Shan had carved a slave seal on her soul. And this time, the seal was different.

Since Xu Shan had already lost a servant he cast this seal on, he took extra precautions. This time, he modified the deal to consider the possibility of soul evolution.

In case the seal was about to be erased by any means, it was going to destroy the entire soul of the person first. Even gods couldn't wipe this seal.
