Chapter 511 - Chapter 511: Chapter 479 Shadow Moon Council (2/2)

The envoy’s voice deepened as he continued, “Do not ask questions about things you do not need to know. Just monitor him and report back.”

“I understand!” Elena immediately responded.

Deep within the Locke family’s manor, a secret entrance protected by ancient spells was hidden, cleverly disguised as an ordinary stone wall. Only those who knew the specific incantations could unveil the disguise, revealing the special staircase leading to the basement.

Along the staircase, faintly glowing runes seemed to act as guarding forces, while the air was filled with an ancient and mysterious aura.

In the center of the basement stood a long table made from an unknown wood, its surface smooth as a mirror, reflecting the flickering lights and shadows around it.

Seated around the table were a multitude of mysterious individuals cloaked in white robes. Their garments were pristine and embroidered with intricate patterns in gold at the edges. Each person’s face was covered with a translucent veil, only exposing deep and focused eyes that revealed a wisdom and composure transcending mere mortals.

The air was permeated with the faint scent of lavender. These mysterious individuals were actually part of a secret organization known as the “Shadow Moon Council.” At this moment, they were engaged in a critically important meeting.

“Let’s begin.”

An elderly man with eyes twinkling with wisdom stood up, gently waved the scepter in his hand, and soft light coalesced in the air forming image after image.

“Recently, there’s been unusual activity from heretical cults in Bohr City and the nearby towns and villages. It’s very likely the work of the ‘Blood Moon,’ a cult that worships an otherworldly god.”

“A total of nineteen people have perished, all drained of blood under the moonlight, and indeed there is an otherworldly god symbolizing the moon…”

“Their exact purpose remains unclear, but it certainly bodes no good. We should report this matter to the ‘High Position Family.’ Our power alone may not be enough to defeat them.”

During the meeting, soft glimmers of light were occasionally released, indicating their secret exchanges and discussions. Although the outside world knew nothing about them, each person in this basement was an Extraordinary Exponent.

And they practically controlled most of the institutions in Bohr City. These people and their subordinates had thoroughly infiltrated all sectors of society. Without a doubt, the “Shadow Moon Council” was the most powerful force in this city!

For over a decade, many had foolishly attempted to oppose the Shadow Moon Council. Yet, many paid with their lives just for trying to uncover the existence of this mysterious and formidable organization.

Amongst the shadowed ranks of the “Shadow Moon Council,” none was more noteworthy than the enigmatic leader in white—a woman known as Lady Xianyue.

As the old man spoke, Lady Xianyue listened intently at the head of the table, silent.

She was not only the intellectual core of the organization but also the undying light in all the members’ hearts.

However, no one within the Shadow Moon Council knew that Lady Xianyue’s true identity was Elena Locke. Everyone thought that the young lady in the manor was merely a student of Lady Xianyue.

Elena wore a white robe woven from moonlight satin, embroidered with silver constellations and crescent moon designs. When she moved, these patterns seemed to come to life, sparkling with mysterious light in the dimness.

“Hear me, this matter is of great importance.”

Her features were gently obscured by a veil as thin as a cicada’s wing. Her voice, soothing yet powerful, sounded like a heavenly melody from antiquity, instantly calming all clamor in the meeting room and immersing every member in her words.

“I have received an order from the envoy of the High Position Family.”

“What?”

“You mean, the envoy!”

Her words struck like a bolt from the blue, leaving everyone present stunned!

They all knew who Lady Xianyue referred to as the envoy—an individual from the massive entity that controlled the Shadow Moon Council, the behemoth from the East of the Ouden Continent, a presence that struck terror into countless Extraordinary Exponents.

The “High Position Family” on people’s lips—the renowned Fischer family!

The last time such a colossal entity’s envoy had come was over a decade ago. It was then that Lady Xianyue and two fortunate individuals were chosen and, after passing a test, became… Blood Receivers of the Dawn Church!

Compared to regular Extraordinary Exponents, the Blood Receivers possessed even more powerful strength. What an enviable reward!

It was without doubt that the three who knew of the Dawn Church’s existence and had the privilege to pray to the Great Lord of the Lost were the core of the “Shadow Moon Council,” their position towering above those of the ordinary Extraordinary Exponents.

Elena nodded gravely and continued, “Yes, I met with the envoy of the High Position Family. They have tasked us with investigating the Blood Moon, and, in addition, keeping an eye on someone… a young outsider.”

“An outsider?” Everyone was slightly taken aback, then Elena took out a moving portrait featuring a blue-haired, Black Eye-Pupil gentleman.

“Yes, him. He’s very important!” she said, looking at the youth in the portrait and inhaling sharply.

Who could this young man be, closely watched even by the High Position Family? Could he be a powerful Monarch expert, or perhaps some kind of mysterious, strange incarnation?

Elena did not know. All she knew was that she must obey the orders passed down by the envoy.

In the East of the Ouden Continent, the Fischer family acted as proxies for the Great Lord of the Lost. Their actions could change nations, and their words were a powerful will that absolutely had to be obeyed!
