World's Apocalypse Online Chapter 486

Su Xue Er looked at her parents' blank expressions and felt a sense of bitterness.

Obviously, they had been under some sort of manipulation spell or technique.

And this took a great toll on both their physical and mental health.

Su Xue Er waved her scepter

“Bloodline Consecration!”

She muttered.

A red string came from her body, connecting to both her father and mother.

Su Wan Xin and Madame Su's complexion gradually regained their colors, even their blank irises came back to clarity.

The wounds they had suffered in both mind and body were completely healed.

Meanwhile, Su Xue Er's complexion became pale.

Beads of sweat were already forming on her forehead.

Uncomfortable.
Extremely uncomfortable.

To use her own life force and mental power to take the wounds for someone else wasn't a simple thing at all.

And she was taking them on for two people at once.

But since they were her parents, Su Xue Er was willing to pay that price.

“Father, Mother, who tried to hurt you, you can tell me now” Su Xue Er said.

The other Lords silently listened from afar.

But they were already gesturing to their subordinates with their eyes.

A few particularly powerful individuals had already begun their preparations.

Su Wan Xin stood still and sighed, the look on his face was of complete defeat.

Madame Su also lowered her head without saying a word.

They were starting to recall everything they went through up to now.

“Tell me now, I will never forgive them!” Su Xue Er urged.

Su Wan Xin just looked at Su Xue Er with a complicated expression and said nothing.

“It's fine, Xue Er, they're all very powerful people” Madame Su told her with a rare gentle tone.

Su Xue Er insisted: “Definitely not! No matter who it is, if they harm my family, I will teach them how to really regret being born!”

She was grinding her teeth: “Don't worry mother, no matter how powerful they are, to me, they are all-----”

Before she even finished, dozens of black shadows headed for Su Xue Er.

While the outside of the Huang family estate was being completely sealed off.

From this point onward, not a single word about what happens in the Huang family estate would leak outside.

Su Xue Er looked around.

Dozens of cultivators held their weapons, all aiming for her.

Originally, these people stood behind the Lords, they were their personal guards.

They were the strongest cultivators.

And they were using all their powers to kill her in one hit!

In this most dire moment, Su Xue Er had completely understood.

This was a ploy by the other 8 Lords against the Su family!

Su Xue Er coldly scoffed and muttered a single word as she held her scepter.

“---dead”

Pop pop pop pop pop pop pop!

Every person heading for her spontaneously exploded like balloons.

Their blood fell down like rain on the floor.

Frightened screams.

The people around started to panic.

Su Xue Er ignored all that and waved her scepter towards the scattered bodies.

She chanted something.

Following Su Xue Er's chant, dozens of transparent figures manifested from them, despite being ready to leave, they were pulled back by an invisible force.

If you observed carefully, you'd be able to tell that these figures were exactly the same as the cultivators from before.

These were their souls.

Su Xue Er was currently so furious that she didn't even want to release their souls.

A grey card flew out from her scepter, enveloping the souls.

“Show me your memories” Su Xue Er muttered.

----these people were the 9 Lords' personal guards, the ones who stick the closest to the Lords to ensure their protection.

So naturally, they would know a lot of secrets.

Su Xue Er silently swore to find the person who harmed her parents!

Grey mist spread, then quickly concentrated again to form a crystal ball.

Taking the crystal ball in her hand, Su Xue Er began to observe their memories.

“Do it!” a Lord couldn't hold it anymore and shouted.
“Move! All of you, kill her!” the Lords all gave their orders.

Every cultivator here began to attack Su Xue Er.

But strangely, some sort of invisible substance seemed to surround Su Xue Er, no matter how much they attacked, they couldn't even reach Su Xue Er or her parents.

While Su Xue Er herself was fully concentrated on the crystal ball.

The crystal ball was full of voices and scenes that quickly went by.

Almost immediately, the truth appeared before Su Xue Er and her parents' eyes.

In the crystal ball, the 8 Lords were in a secret meeting.

“Su Xue Er refused every candidate we had nominated” a Lord sighed.

“Does she have no intention to marry a main branch of ours?”

“That's right”

“How can that be!?”

Everyone there became rowdy.

Someone slammed the table angrily: “She's been insistent on cooperating with us, on every single matter!”

Someone calmly spoke: “In the ceremony of bestowal, many heirs of the Lords tried to choose the path of power, but from the history we know, Su Xue Er was the only one who managed to return alive from this path”

Someone else spoke up: “But she kept the content a secret, refusing to disclose anything to us!”

Someone else commented: “After becoming a Lord, she had not accepted to do anything for us, or anything for the 9 Lords as a whole”

“That girl is too stubborn, she's not a suitable person in power at all”

“I knew that old man Su's choice was a mistake from the start”

The 9 Lords were spouting complaints one after another.

One of them concluded: “We can't keep going like this, let us think of few solutions”

The 9 Lords exchanged looks, but all fell silent.

A powerful world-class female Combatant.

Not only was she herself powerful, she also knew the secret to passing the path of power in the bestowal ceremony.

The value she held exceeded everything they had!

Everyone fell into thought.

A while later, one of the Lords spoke up: “Su Wan Xin and his wife craves authority, they would be more than willing to be Lords themselves”

“So you want to approach Su Xue Er from her parents? That's a good idea, but how should we do that?” one of them questioned.

“Let us say that Su Xue Er is still too young, and they are her parents, we'll support Su Wan Xin to become the Su family Lord temporary until Su Xue Er is old enough to give her back the authority”

“They will probably welcome this idea with open arms, but what will our condition be?”

“Once they become the Lord, they have to think of some way to persuade Su Xue Er to become to one of our families”

“That should be fine”

The Lords all nodded in agreement.

Suddenly, someone had a different idea: “Why not take this chance to thoroughly keep the Su family within our control?”

Everyone froze.

“You mean…” someone muttered.

“Su Wan Xin and his wife both crave power, but they themselves are talentless, furthermore they aren't Professionists. As long as they leave the Su family's territory, the combined might of our 8 houses' elites can probably control them”

One of them muses: “If we invite them to discuss the matter of making them Lord…”

Another Lord followed up: “As long as they feel tempted by the idea of usurping their daughter's authority, they will personally leave their territory to come here and discuss it”

The Lords were all tempted.

Very quickly, all of them agreed.

“That is a great idea, as long as we control them, everything of Su family will also fall under our control”

“Not only that, Su Xue Er will definitely not be weary of her own parents, so our options in obtaining her will also increase”
…
Kchinnkk!

The crystal ball fell to the ground.

Su Xue Er's hand was still held in the gesture of holding it.

She stood completely still, unmoving.

Su Wan Xin's lips twitched as he dryly tried to explain: “Xue Er, we were just trying to do the best for you…”

“The best for me?” Su Xue Er repeated that in monotone.

Madame Su quickly added: “Yes, yes, Xue Er, we really only hope that you have a happy ending”

“I don't get it” Su Xue Er tried to contain her emotions and asked: “I've never said a word about what happens in the family, leaving everything for you to decide. Is that still not enough to satisfy you?”

Su Wan Xin and Madame Su exchanged looks.

Madame Su took her daughter's hands, saying: “Xue Er, if you've already ignoring the matters of the family, why not give us the Starlight cloak that represent the Lord authority as well, that way our actions can be better justified”

Su Xue Er was stunned.

The Starlight cloak.

Ever since she went to the Fog Isle, everything he held dear has been taken away.

This cloak was the only precious item she had left.

This was a memento of her will to fight against fate.

And now, someone wanted to take it away as well?

Can I really not protect anything at all?

Subconsciously, her eyes began to water a bit.

Her tears were about to flow.

Su Xue Er hurriedly stopped herself.

I've already sworn to myself not to cry so easily anymore.
I've already become strong.
Why do I have to cry?
Why indeed…?
