"Just kill them all!"
The five elder guards fell to the ground as they responded.
In front of the Book of the Dead, they had no power to resist, and were killed in an instant.
Wu Xiaode glanced at the Book of the Dead, once again feeling its power.
"Arian, was that too quick? Actually, we could have used those five to find the elder who ordered them,"
Qiong whispered quietly.
Wu Xiaode shook his head without saying anything.
These old foxes of the Council of Elders must have made their preparations.
Facing the Book of the Dead, they would never expose their flaws, surely having removed themselves from the whole matter long ago.
Wu Xiaode's gaze fell to the ground.
Five corpses lay before everyone, motionless.
From Arian's recollections, Wu Xiaode also clearly understood the kind of people who could serve as guards to the Council of Elders.
—They must be the elite of various clans, nurtured as successors.
