Chapter 438 Assassination!
The Book of the Law of Destruction floats in the center of the council hall.
Lines of small black flame characters appeared on the page and were displayed in front of all members of the parliament:
"Two hours and twenty-five minutes later, the life and death battle begins."
"Our combat personnel: all members of the Thirteen Elders Group."
"Enemy: The Silence of All Souls Association."
"Task requirement: Be sure to defeat the opponent."
"If you fail, you will be obliterated!"
By this time, all families had completed one round of giving.
Everyone was naturally upset because their flesh was cut out of thin air, but now that they saw such a mission description, their emotions gradually calmed down.
No matter what, if the elders are defeated——
This will not end well for every member of Parliament.
Even the Parliament will face a devastating blow from the Society of the Silence of All Souls.
From this perspective, the funds contributed just now are equivalent to contributing to the upcoming life and death battle.
The Speaker announced loudly:
"Next, our thirteen elders will use the funds contributed by everyone to exchange various equipment from the Book of the Law of Destruction to prepare for the upcoming decisive battle."
"In order to avoid chaos in the Parliament after we leave, a temporary committee has been set up to govern."
"The member whose name is read, please temporarily replace the elders to preside over the work of the parliament."
"Let's start reading the list:"
"..."
Wu Xiaode sat there yawning, a little bored.
Thinking with your toes, you can tell that there is no way that I could be on this list.
Qiong listened carefully for a while and whispered: "They are the descendants of the thirteen elders' family."
Wu Xiaode twitched the corners of his mouth.
He glanced across the entire parliament hall and saw the expressions on the faces of the other members.
——Thirteen families are in charge of the power of the parliament, how can it be handed over to others?
but.
Isn't there any loophole in this?
Vulnerability...
Wu Xiaode suddenly remembered something.
"When I fought with Jingguan Mountain before, I killed a member of the elders. Who will take his place?"
he asked Joan quietly.
Qiong immediately sent a message:
"Just as I was about to tell you this, that position became vacant, but no one has been competing for it."
"Why?" Wu Xiaode asked.
"Because those who have the strength to compete for the elder position know that the elder group will face this critical life-and-death battle next," Qiong said.
"The situation is too dangerous and no one wants to die, is that right?" Wu Xiaode asked.
"Yes." Joan nodded.
Wu Xiaode's eyes flashed and he kept thinking.
“Are there any benefits to being a member of the elders’ body?” he asked.
Joan explains:
"Every elder is the most powerful person in the council and is qualified to preside over all affairs of the council. He can directly communicate with the Book of the Law of Destruction and issue tasks. There are many benefits."
Wu Xiaode nodded, seeming a little moved.
Seeing his appearance, Qiong immediately grabbed his hand, squeezed it hard, and said seriously:
"Elyan, you must not compete for that position in the elders."
"Why?" Wu Xiaode asked.
"They are all in a group. If you go, they will definitely unite to kill you in a life and death battle, and..."
Joan emphasized:
"The thirteen elders are all very strong, not much worse than Jingguan Mountain."
Wu Xiaode tilted his head and thought about it, and felt that he did not need to get involved in this life and death battle.
Why bother.
When a large number of these old immortals are killed in the battle, their family's control over the parliament will naturally be weakened a lot.
Waiting until then is the right time to take action.
On the stage, the speaker has finished reading the list.
"The members whose names have been read please stay and complete the transfer of power under the witness of the Book of the Law of Destruction."
"Others call it a day!"
Many people stood up and walked outside the parliament hall.
Wu Xiaode also held Qiong's hand and followed the flow of people towards the outside of the parliament hall.
"Go back to the family? I still have some unfinished business, how about we go back first?"
Joan asked.
"Don't worry, is there any place to eat here? I'm a little hungry and want to eat something good." Wu Xiaode said.
Qiong glanced at him and said uncertainly: "You can go back to eat, I will cook it for you myself..."
"Forget it for today, I'll treat you to eating outside and then go back after eating." Wu Xiaode said.
Qiong's beautiful eyes turned nimbly.
——Elyan has more and more evil ideas now. I really don’t know what he is thinking about.
I actually wanted to take him back and push him on the bed to complete some tasks necessary for family reproduction.
But if he really has something big to do, you still have to listen to him.
After all, he is the head of the family.
You should help him properly instead of causing trouble for him.
"Okay, I know a good restaurant, come with me."
Joan bit her lip, lowered her head and said.
She took Wu Xiaode for a while on the street outside the parliament building and came to a restaurant.
The restaurant is magnificently decorated, with a faint aroma inside, and melodious music floating in the air.
However, there were no people in the restaurant and it looked somewhat deserted.
"Strange, this is the hottest restaurant in the entire parliament world, why is there no one here today?"
Joan couldn't help but said.
"Whatever, come on, sit down, let's order." Wu Xiaode said.
The waiter handed the menu politely.
Wu Xiaode asked Qiong to order, then ordered a few dishes himself, and asked the waiter to arrange them.
Joan then asked:
"Why don't we go back to the family first?"
"Look at the situation." Wu Xiaode said.
"You mean—" Joan said.
"This is a life and death battle. We must stay here until the battle is over, so that we can know for the first time how many elders died in the battle and whether the council can achieve the final victory." Wu Xiaode said.
"Having first-hand information? That's right. After all, knowing about such a big thing a minute earlier makes a difference." Qiong agreed with his point of view.
"Why are you in such a hurry to go back?" Wu Xiaode asked her.
Qiong's face turned slightly red, and he looked around and said:
"You and the elders are already at odds with each other. I'm afraid it's dangerous to stay."
This is just a cover-up.
After all, this is the main world of the Council. Even if the elders take action, they will choose other places to avoid making this matter too obvious.
——That should be it.
Joan thought silently in her heart.
Unexpectedly, Wu Xiaode's expression suddenly changed after hearing this.
He said quickly:
"In the beginning, I had the same idea as you..."
"Huh?" Qiong didn't know why.
Wu Xiaode glanced into the void and saw that the Book of the Dead had turned to the "Wall of Sighs" page.
Boundless black mist surged on the walls.
This is a sign of death.
And——
Looking around, there was almost no one in the entire restaurant.
The perfect environment for assassination.
If it were me, I would just throw in a super-large destruction-type "Terminal" and kill this Elyan.
After all, he is the "Hand of Destruction", able to use the power of a single will to destroy, and his personal strength is enough to kill Xion.
If I were a member of the Elders, I would definitely get rid of this thorn in my side before the life and death battle.
Killing him can also deter other congressmen with evil intentions!
Kill him!
Wu Xiaode suddenly grabbed Qiong's hand and whispered: "Don't resist."
The next moment.
Lines of small ice crystal characters were frantically refreshed on the Book of the Dead.
But Wu Xiaode didn't look at it at all.
He held Qiong in his arms, his eyes flashed, and the void in front of him suddenly opened.
Wu Xiaode penetrated the current world in a flash and directly entered the world of death.
Joan was stunned.
She looked around and saw that the sky was gray, the earth was pale and barren, and there was no living thing in the whole world.
The world seemed to switch to black and white in an instant.
"What is this place?" she couldn't help but ask.
"The world of death." Wu Xiaode said.
It was only then that he breathed a sigh of relief——
Ironically, he felt safer in the world of death.
Now you can look at the prompts in the Book of the Dead——
Wu Xiaode looked up and saw what was written on the page:
"You activated the power of darkness: Jianzhi."
"Your eyes can penetrate all world barriers and take you there to see all the underworld."
"You have arrived directly in the world of death."
"At the same moment, the space you were originally in was completely blocked."
"The five types of destruction have been launched."
"The violent final power spread out completely, destroying the buildings and all living things where you were originally."
"The destructive fluctuations in the original world are too strong, and you cannot switch to the original world."
"Please wait at least three minutes and twenty-five seconds."
Wu Xiaode read it quickly and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
Either you die or I die——
What a ruthless method!
He looked at Qiong and saw Qiong looking at him blankly.
Only three or five breaths passed.
Qiong gradually came to her senses and muttered in a low voice: "Tracking the mirror image in situ."
A large floor-to-ceiling mirror quietly fell in front of her.
She put her hand on the mirror and shouted: "Track the scene where I was a minute ago - present immediately!"
A burst of light and shadow gradually appeared on the mirror, condensing into the scene of the main world of the Destruction Council.
——That restaurant no longer exists.
Instead, there was a sea of boiling lava and fire.
The crowd stood silently tens of meters away from the restaurant, watching everything turned to ashes in the sea of fire.
Someone said loudly:
"The bloodline of the Entropy Mo family has been completely cut off!"
A black shadow fell from the sky.
But he is an elder of the Council.
He glanced at the sea of fire lightly and said:
"It is important to track down the real murderer, but right now we need more resources to exchange for power to complete the life and death battle."
"I hereby summon the Book of the Law of Destruction and make the following request:"
"Confiscate the world and all the wealth of the Entropy Mo family to provide resources for our life and death battle!"
There was silence.
Everyone was trembling in their hearts.
At an extraordinary moment, he did something extraordinary and wiped out the Entropic Mo family in one fell swoop.
This is not the end, they still have to take away everything from their family.
What a ruthless method the Council of Elders uses!
Who will dare to stand up and resist their rule in the future?
Elyan is a living example!
At this time, a huge black book quietly appeared.
It opened slowly, revealing a line of small black characters:
"Request rejected!"
Everyone was startled.
The elder with murderous intent on his face was also startled and said quickly:
"I remember that there was a provision that, in order to ensure the combat effectiveness of the parliament, the wealth of a completely extinct family could be directly deprived of it."
Two lines of black flame small characters slowly appeared on the Book of the Law of Destruction:
"The terms do exist, but -"
"The owner of the exclusive world of the Entropy family is not dead." (End of this chapter)
