Chapter 448: Chapter 342 Encore!

An unknowable place.

A castle suspended in silence and darkness.

An ear-piercing alarm suddenly went off.

The alarm was so shrill and piercing that it immediately alerted everyone in the castle.

In the depths of the castle.

A completely empty secret room.

Several chairs were neatly arranged along both sides of a long table.

Suddenly.

One after another, shadows appeared on the chairs.

They concealed their faces and emitted black mist all over, seemingly not wanting anyone to get even the slightest bit of information about their appearance.

One shadow said with a laugh:

"It’s really quite rare. It has been many years since the Council had an alarm of this level."

"What exactly is the situation?" another shadow asked.

The door was pushed open.

A sleek black-clothed man walked in, first making a bow, then he spoke swiftly:

"Speaker, Chief Justice, and all the Senior Councilors, I will now begin my report."

"One minute ago, we received a distress signal from the Shangmo family."

"After verification, the signal was sent from Qiong."

All eyes turned to a particularly burly shadow.

That shadow spoke slowly: "Don’t look at me. A daughter who is married off is like water spilled out of a basin. If Siang wants to kill her, I will not stop him, but Siang should be careful from now on."

The black-clothed man quickly responded:

"Sir, the situation is not like that. The Shangmo family is almost entirely slaughtered—"

"In their family’s world, we detected fluctuations of Mysterious Level Power."

"Mysterious?" many exclaimed in surprise.

"Yes, sirs, the Law is the first threshold of power. Reaching the level of Law means one is already an extremely powerful being—but now we have discovered Mysterious Level Power."

Someone interjected: "If the Shangmo family had acquired Mysterious Level Power, they presumably wouldn’t need to sound an alarm of this level."

"That’s exactly it," the black-clothed man said. "In the Shangmo family’s world, a monster appeared, preliminarily determined to have autonomous consciousness as ’End,’ but it is rather strange as it seems to be able to use Siang’s body. Furthermore, what is particularly worth noting is—"

"It killed nearly the entire Shangmo family with a single strike."

"At present, only two people are left in the Shangmo family—Qiong and Arian!"

"Please, sirs, decide immediately on the Council’s next course of action!"

The black-clothed man finished speaking, made another bow, and quickly left, closing the door behind him.

Inside the secret room.

The numerous shadows fell silent for a while.

Suddenly someone spoke:

"According to the laws of the Council, if a family no longer exists, all of its wealth in the Council Bank, along with its own property, must be completely handed over to the Council, to prevent it from falling into external hands, to be used by others."

Immediately someone added: "But there are still two people in the Shangmo family, one Qiong, one Arian."

The previous person seemed to chuckle, then said leisurely: "Can they survive? That’s Mysterious Level Power, I’m not even confident in myself."

Many were somewhat moved by this.

A shadow spoke up: "Qiong is a good girl. We watched her grow up, very capable and outstanding... What do you think?"

He looked toward the burly shadow previously mentioned.

Everyone once again turned their gaze toward that shadow.

"What are you trying to say?" the burly shadow asked.

Another thin shadow slowly said: "For years, the Shangmo family has waged wars everywhere, their gains are substantial, and due to their high casualty rate, the Council Bank even holds a large amount of their pension — you could take the richest portion."

A moment of silence.

Everyone held their silence, waiting for an answer.

The burly shadow looked around and said:

"I actually have no objections to whatever decision the Council makes, after all, Qiong is now a person of the Shangmo family, and we, the Prison Flame family, have no more connection to her."

All the shadows laughed.

In a few minutes, once Qiong and Arian are dead, the Shangmo family will be officially extinct.

The immense wealth they had accumulated would be inherited by the core families of the Council.

"I suggest we have a drink."

"For what?"

"To show our attitude—we will definitely make good use of the wealth accumulated by the Shangmo family, to create a better future for the Council."

"Agreed."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

The burly shadow suddenly asked: "What about that mutated ’End’ life form?"

The previously thin shadow spoke disdainfully:

"We have just had a fierce battle with the Guardian God of the ’Heaven and Earth’ world, suffering heavy losses, and we urgently need to rest and replenish our Power—who would dare touch that thing now?"

The shadows concurred: "Exactly, let’s wait until it leaves... then send a rescue team to sweep up the Shangmo family’s territory."

"So, it’s settled."

"Yes, makes sense."

"Then let’s give the order together—"

All fell quiet.

The black-clothed man, seemingly having received the order, pushed the door open and entered.

The shadow sitting in the high seat solemnly said: "Hear the command:"

"The Council will start assembling a rescue team headed for the Shangmo family, to officially depart in three hours, for the rescue operation at the Shangmo family’s!"

"There must be no errors!"

...

A fog.

Qiong whispered, "You ask Arian to hold on a bit longer. I’ve already sent for help; the Council’s people should be coming soon."

"What if they don’t come?" Audrey asked.

Qiong sighed and said, "I’m not sure either—our Council really can’t be relied on. If they haven’t come, then they have abandoned this family."

"It seems we need to figure out a way ourselves," Audrey said.

"It’s hopeless; that thing is a power above the Law, we can’t deal with it," Qiong sighed again.

Audrey asked, "Excuse me for asking, I only have a Level 679, and I always thought that the Law and the World Skill formed by the Law were the strongest. What is this so-called power above the Law?"

"Mysterious Level! It is a power formed by the convergence of countless Laws, far beyond us ordinary powerhouses," Qiong said.

Audrey also fell into silence.

"It seems we have no choice but to use that move," she whispered.

That move?

Qiong looked at her with a puzzled face.

Even with Arian and herself combined, they were no match for that monster.

Could this undead have some special "End"? Or "Arrival" or "Tao Power"?

—Is it specifically for escaping?

This was very rare; if they had it, perhaps there was hope!

As Qiong was full of expectation, she suddenly saw a young man appear beside Audrey.

The man was wearing a long overcoat, with an apron tied around his waist, holding a spatula, and his face was all unwillingness.

"Listen, can you not make him fight with these inconceivable things next time? Last time it was a panda, this time it’s an unknown thing, I really don’t want—"

The man was also cautious; he muttered half a complaint and then shut his mouth, warily glanced at Qiong.

"Just think of it as an encore," Audrey said.

A human-height figure emerged from the fog beside her.

—It was a dog tucking its tail between its legs.

"I haven’t tried this move yet; will it hurt a lot?"

The dog grinned, nervously speaking.

"Get moving! Any later and we’re all doomed," Audrey said.

"Alright," the man with the apron sighed.

"Come on," the dog also sighed.

Qiong was even more puzzled.

The next second.

All three of them pulled out a dagger and stabbed it into their own chests.

"Um..."

They moaned in pain in unison.

"Have you arrived?" Audrey asked Xiao Baihong.

"Almost there, how about you?" Xiao Baihong asked the dog.

"I had to drop all defenses just to barely get it in, hiss—ah—woof! It really fucking hurts!" the dog grimaced.

Qiong felt she was going insane.

"What are you doing! Why are you committing suicide!" she couldn’t help but shout.

An abrupt change occurred—

A desolate and deadly Power radiated from the body of the woman, man, and dog.

They seemed to become completely different!

The fog dissipated, and a golden-haired man with wings on his back ran out, shouting, "Hurry! Hurry! Don’t really die, please!"

He pulled out five gold bricks tied to his head, both hands emitted Holy Light, and began to heal the two people and the dog.

At this point, Qiong was completely puzzled.

—What are they doing?

"Luck... three points, all to him," Audrey said.

"Lend me your Soul Power," the man with the apron said.

Audrey placed her hand on his shoulder.

"Take all the Luck, but next time at least wait till I finish cooking before you call me, the pot has been burnt twice already," the man grumbled as he released some invisible Power.

"Come on! All the Luck to you!" the dog also stretched its paw towards the Void.

After releasing the Luck Skill, it suddenly asked Audrey:

"Should we Curse that monster?"

"No! Arian said it’s too strange; just afraid it will find us in the moment we cast our Magic," Audrey said.

"Okay, then let it be," the dog withdrew its paw.

Suddenly.

"I see!" Qiong shouted loudly.

Everyone looked at her.

Her face was red with excitement as she stared at Audrey, then at the man and the dog.

"Is it the Luck Skill?" she asked.

The man and the dog nodded.

"Great, maybe we really have a chance to escape—Luck and Misfortune belong to the Law of Destiny, and the Law of Destiny is the head of all Laws; even if the opponent is Mysterious Level, they are still subject to Destiny—""No one can escape Destiny!"

Qiong grabbed Audrey’s hand, urging, "Quickly check, how is Arian now!"

"Alright, let’s see."

Audrey waved her hand, and the fog instantly cleared away.

Outside, the world had completely collapsed into countless pieces, big and small, fluttering in the Dark Void.

As for Wu Xiaode—

He also had a dagger in his chest, chanting, "Though I encountered a monster when I went out today, I feel I should be lucky next."

Two lines of ice crystal letters swiftly flashed before his eyes:

"Your three Shadow Followers have granted you Luck."

"Your Luck Value has reached 9 points."

"You have blessed yourself."

"Current Luck Value has reached 12 points."

"—Fly, young man!"
