Eternal Villain: I can enslave Reality!

Chapter 151 151: Vast Lands

?

After a long time, the Leader of the Guards was finally able to see Xu Shan, who appeared back at his original spot. However, at the same time, all the other assassins dropped to the ground, bleeding. 

There was not a speck of blood on his clothes, which appeared to be spotless. 

Xu Shan glanced at the Leader of the Assassins who gulped down. However, for some reason, he felt his body getting weaker. 

He wanted to run, but he knew that he couldn't escape with the kind of speed that Xu Shan had shown. 

"L-let me go. And I'll treat it as if this never happened!" He exclaimed, slowly stepping back. 

Xu Shan didn't reply. He simply stepped closer to the last Assassin standing. 

"You might not know this, but my Soul is connected to the Shadow Temple! If you kill me, they'll know it right away! They'll also be able to see my memories! They'll know everything about you! Your life will become a living hell!"

"Hmm?" Xu Shan was slightly surprised by this information. However, at the same time, he looked at the Assassin as if he was looking at an idiot who told him all his secrets. 

He appeared before the Leader of the Assassin. "You're right. It will be distracting if some assassins are after me, especially since I have something urgent to do. Thank you for reminding me."

He placed his hand over the head of the Leader of Assassins. The Assassin had his eyes widened, realizing what Xu Shan was trying to do. However, before he could react, a dagger stabbed his chest. 

The dagger intentionally missed his vitals to make sure he didn't die. However, it still left a grave wound, activating the dagger's effect. The Assassin felt his body being paralyzed. He couldn't move. 

He only watched in horror, as Xu Shan searched through his soul, in the most reckless way possible. A Soul Search was risky, even if one was extremely careful. However, Xu Shan was even worse, since he wasn't being careful in the least. 

The Assassin screamed internally, feeling as his memories and thoughts were exposed. At the same time, his mind felt as if it was breaking apart. 

 After a few moments, Xu Shan took off his hands. The Leader of the Assassins dropped to the ground. His eyes were blank as he drooled. His mind was completely destroyed in the soul search, destroying all his memories in the process. However, not before Xu Shan read those memories. 

Unfortunately, there wasn't much information. Even a strong person like the man before him was just a pawn for the Shadow Temple. He wasn't a core member, or even someone who knew where their base was. 

All the orders he received through one of the Internal Members of the Shadow Temple. Other than that, there was no information. 

Xu Shan rubbed the back of his neck. It made him realize that the Shadow Temple was truly deep, where even someone strong like this person wasn't an internal member. If they came after him, it was a very big inconvenience. 

However, now that he had destroyed the memories of this man, there was nothing to worry about even if he killed him. 

He picked up his other dagger from the ground before finally dealing the finishing blow. The last of the Assassin also dropped to the ground, without making the slightest sound. 

He wiped the blood from his dagger before keeping it back. 

"That leaves you..." He turned to the Leader of the Guards, who was also the only person left in the group. 

The Leader of the Guards immediately dropped to his knees. "Thank you! Thank you so much! You saved me! As I promised before, I shall personally lead you to where you want to go... But can I please request something?"

"I don't need you to lead me. Just answer my questions. What were you speaking about the Divine Queen? Tell me everything you know about her."

"This... Are you really not from our world?" The Leader of the Guards asked. However, after noticing the cold look of Xu Shan, he closed his mouth. 

He started explaining, "The Divine Queen is the ruler of the only Empire that exists in the Divine Realm. She is, ah, very scary. Almost everyone is scared of her. She is known to be the strongest person in the Divine Realm. However, there are said to be a few more people who can compare with her in strength."

The man continued speaking, as he walked around, gathering the bodies of his men to give them a proper burial. 

"Currently, the place where we are standing, also comes under the borders of her Empire. However, her Empire is so vast that it's not surprising. It spans more than half the Divine Realm."

"Even if you fly at your fastest speed, it will take you around six months to get from one end of the Empire to the other. This place is the Southern Lands. The City where she stays is in the Central area..." 

''So three months of journey? That's too much. By that time, she might use the Celestial Lotus already. This is a mess...' Xu Shan frowned. However, he soon thought of something. 

"Is there any faster way to get there?" he asked the man. 

"Faster way? There is one. You might be able to get there within a week. However that method involves using the Portal Points spread throughout the Empire. Not only is it very expensive to use them, but you need an identification to use them," the man replied. 

He was now certain that Xu Shan wasn't from here, which meant he didn't have any identification. Still, he wondered why he wanted to meet the Divine Queen, whom he didn't even know about until a short time ago. 

"Identification..." Xu Shan muttered. It appeared easier to just sneak inside, but that was also very risky. 

"I can help you with that." While Xu Shan was lost in thoughts, the door of the Carriage opened.
