The people who had gathered at Demon-Hidden Valley from every direction vanished in an instant. They had witnessed the battle between Saras and Osoe, and finally seen with their own eyes how Han Shuo had used an incomparably terrifying evil power to force Saras to retreat immediately.
Soon, apart from Osoe, no one else remained nearby.
Han Shuo smiled faintly and thanked Osoe again. "Thank you very much. Without your help, Demon-Hidden Valley certainly wouldn't have survived until now!"
"You're welcome. Haha, we're friends! It's only right that we help each other!" Osoe did not dare put on any airs and hurriedly smiled to assure him it was nothing.
