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."

"Failure or obliteration!"

At this time, all families have completed one round of donation.

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——

Not every member of Parliament will end well.

Even the Parliament will face a devastating blow from the Society of Silence of All Souls.

From this perspective, the funds you just contributed are equivalent to your contribution to the upcoming life-and-death battle.

The Speaker loudly announced:

"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."

"Now let's start reading the list:"

"..."

Wu Xiaode sat there yawning, a little bored.

You can tell with your toes that you cannot 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 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?

Loopholes...

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 about this, that position became vacant, but no one has competed for it."

"Why?" Wu Xiaode asked.

"Because those who have the strength to compete for the elder position know that the elders 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 explained:

"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 there, they will definitely unite to kill you in a life-and-death battle, and..."

Qiong 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.

Once a large number of these immortal things 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.

"Please those members whose names are read please stay and complete the transfer of power under the witness of the Book of the Law of Destruction."

"Everyone else, dismissal!"

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 today, I'll treat you to eating outside and then go back after you finish." 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 want to take him back and push him on the bed to complete some tasks necessary for the family's 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."

Qiong 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 light 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 most popular restaurant in the entire parliament world, why is there no one there today?"

Joan couldn't help but said.

"Whatever, come, 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 it.

Only then did Joan ask:

"Why don't we go back to the family first?"

"Look at the situation." Wu Xiaode said.

"You mean-" said Joan.

"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 early 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 group of elders are already at odds with each other. I'm afraid it's dangerous to stay."

This is just a cover-up.
