Chapter 273 The Dark Council
"You... who exactly are you?" Karen said, her voice trembling with fear. "You can't possibly be this strong! Impossible!"
"There are many impossible things," Shen Yu said calmly. "Just because you haven't seen it doesn't mean it doesn't exist."
He took a step forward.
Just one step.
Karen felt as if a mountain was pressing down on her, making it hard to breathe.
His face grew even paler.
No.
We can't beat them.
This person is amazing.
We have to run!
Karen made a quick decision and turned to run.
He slammed his hand on the wall, about to trigger the escape mechanism.
He had already prepared an escape route in the room, so he could run away if he couldn't win.
But his hand had just touched the wall.
Then I couldn't move.
An invisible force froze him in place.
Forget running, they can't even move a finger.
"Trying to run?" Shen Yu said calmly. "Do you think you can escape?"
Karen was terrified.
"What... what did you do to me?!" Karen said in horror.
"It's nothing," Shen Yu said casually. "I just froze you in place."
Settled?
Just one casual glance and he was frozen in place?
What kind of tactic is this?!
Karen's fear grew stronger and stronger.
He knew that this time he had truly failed.
"You...you can't kill me!" Karen cried out hastily. "I'm a member of the Dark Council! If you kill me, the Dark Council won't let you get away with it!"
In desperation, he invoked the Dark Council.
Hopefully, this will scare Shen Yu.
After all, the Dark Council is a behemoth in the European underworld.
Most people would give the Dark Council some respect upon hearing its name.
……
"The Dark Council?" Shen Yu raised an eyebrow.
This was the first time he had ever heard of this name.
"Yes! The Dark Council!"
Karen, seeing that Shen Yu seemed unfamiliar with the story, assumed he was scared and immediately perked up.
"I am a full member of the Dark Council! If you dare to kill me, the Council will absolutely not let you get away with it!"
"The Dark Council's influence extends throughout Europe, and they are full of experts! They will definitely come to avenge me!"
"If you release me now and apologize to me, I might consider not holding it against you."
Karen became more and more smug as he spoke, as if the Dark Council could really back him up.
……
Shen Yu found it quite amusing to watch him jumping around like that.
The Dark Council?
Is it that impressive?
"Are you done?" Shen Yu said calmly.
"Huh?" Karen was taken aback.
"Now that you've finished speaking, it's my turn," Shen Yu said calmly.
"What... what do you mean?" Karen felt a sense of foreboding.
"I'm quite curious about this Dark Council you mentioned," Shen Yu said casually. "Perfect, I'll learn about it from what's in your head."
"What... what do you want to do?" Karen asked in terror.
"Nothing much." Shen Yu took two steps forward and stood in front of Karen. "Just searching her soul."
Soul search?!
Karen's face changed drastically; her legs went weak with fear!
Soul-searching technique?!
This is a legendary evil spell!
He had only seen it in ancient books. It was said that people who were affected by the soul-searching technique would have all their memories read, eventually becoming idiots or even having their souls scattered.
This Shen Yu actually knows the Soul Searching Technique?!
"No...no!" Karen cried out in terror, "You can't do this!"
"Can't?" Shen Yu sneered. "When you cast a curse on Zhuo Nianxi to harm me, why didn't you consider whether it was possible?"
"I... I know I was wrong!" Karen quickly said. "I was wrong! I shouldn't have come to seek revenge on you! I shouldn't have cast the curse on Miss Zhuo!"
"Please, please let me go!"
"I'm willing to be your slave! I'm willing to be your dog!"
"I can tell you anything about the Dark Council! I know many secrets! I'll tell you everything!"
"Please, don't kill me! Don't search my soul!"
Karen was so scared she almost cried, having lost all her dignity, and kept begging for mercy.
He wasn't afraid of death, but he was afraid of having his soul searched.
The feeling of having your memories thoroughly exposed is worse than death.
Moreover, after soul-searching, there is a high chance that the person will become an idiot.
I'd rather be dead.
……
"I can find out all of this just by searching your soul," Shen Yu said calmly. "And it won't be false."
"No...it can't be fake! I promise!" Karen quickly said, "I'll tell you everything! There won't be a single lie!"
"No need," Shen Yu shook his head. "I'm used to reading by myself."
As he spoke, he reached out and placed his hand on Karen's head.
"No--"
Karen let out a piercing scream.
Then, there was no sound.
His eyes were wide open, and his gaze became empty.
His body was convulsing violently.
Shen Yu closed his eyes and read Karen's memories.
There's quite a bit of information there.
This Karen, although only a marginal figure in the Dark Council, actually knows quite a lot.
The Dark Council is the largest underground heretical organization in Europe, with a history spanning hundreds of years.
It contains vampires, werewolves, wizards, ghost-raising practitioners, and all sorts of evil cultivators.
It wielded considerable power, with branches throughout Europe and even on other continents.
The top leaders of the parliament are all very powerful.
Karen didn't know exactly how strong he was; he was just a peripheral figure who had no access to the core.
But he knew that the Speaker of Parliament was an ancient monster who had lived for hundreds of years and was extremely powerful.
In recent years, the Dark Council has been expanding eastward, extending its reach into China.
The Nine Chrysanthemum School of Japanese Foot Massage is their partner.
The Nine Chrysanthemums Sect collects wronged souls in China to refine vengeful spirit beads, some of which are sold to the Dark Council.
The Dark Council even sent people to observe the Nine Chrysanthemums Sect's ceremony to mark the return of their patriarch.
If successful, the parliament will increase its cooperation with the Nine Chrysanthemums faction.
Besides these, there's a lot of other random information.
For example, the structure of the Dark Council, including its elders, departments, and locations.
There are also some evil arts and techniques, methods that harm people.
Shen Yu glanced at the useful parts and filtered out the useless ones.
About a few minutes later.
Shen Yu withdrew his hand.
Karen collapsed to the ground with a thud.
His eyes were wide open, his gaze was vacant, and he was drooling; he had become an idiot.
Soul searching causes great harm to the soul.
For a heretical cultivator like Karen, whose soul is not strong, it's already quite fortunate that his soul didn't completely dissipate after being searched.
Shen Yu stood there, processing the information he had just received.
The Dark Council.
Nine Chrysanthemum School.
The patriarch has returned to his rightful place.
It seems these foreign heretical groups are all restless.
They've even extended their reach into China.
They even want to bring back the patriarch.
It seems I'll have to make a trip to the Nine Chrysanthemums Sect.
It's better to resolve this sooner rather than later, to avoid future trouble.
