102: The strength of the Star Council in later generations

"Where are those two people?"

"Right up ahead. I'm telling you, those two are definitely players with a Shelter!"

"Then let's hit them! Without a Shelter, we're going to die sooner or later anyway. As for that base, once I have a Shelter, there's nowhere I can't go. Who wants to stay in that base and take that crap!"

"We need to come up with a good plan, otherwise, a head-on fight is suicide."

"Do you have any good ideas?"

"Remember that Poison Child?" The burly man who spoke had a hint of fear in his eyes.

"You, you mean him!" The thin man next to him spoke with a tremor, as if recalling something terrifying.

"Yes, that Poison Child. Didn't his sister go missing? We'll tell him we know where his sister is, and then have him approach these two. As long as the Poison Child touches them, they're dead for sure."

"Will he believe it?"

"That kid has been poisoned silly by his own poison. He doesn't know anything except his sister. We'll just pick up a pair of little girl's shoes and give them to him, and he'll believe it!"

"Alright, let's do it!"

...Tang Ping glanced at the sky, then turned to Tao Yumian and said, "Let's find a place to rest for a while before going into the mountains."

Tao Yumian nodded, "Okay, we've been traveling all night. Let's find a place to rest."

The two found an open space and placed their Shelter there.

Inside the Shelter, Tang Ping looked at the time and thought to himself, he had to go back again.

He wondered if the so-called Empress Taoyao would exist this time, and in what form.

"It seems there's also the Old Days Society."

A whisper echoed in the room, and the familiar pulling sensation on his consciousness reappeared... Xingyao Safe Zone, Xiao Family.

Tang Ping opened his eyes and immediately noticed new items by the bed in the Shelter.

There were a full 300 a-rank experience stones. Besides those obtained in treasure chest dungeons, some were exchanged for pupa fluid in the trading zone.

The reason he didn't trade for more was due to time constraints, only managing to get these. He had originally wanted to gather 100 s-rank experience stones, but s-rank experience stones were too difficult to acquire and required a high price for acquisition. Since he didn't have much pupa fluid, Tang Ping planned to search for experience stone dungeons near North Ridge when he returned this time, and then find some hidden quests to specifically farm s-rank experience stones for his future self's S-rank Talent.

"My A-Rank Talent, Ice Soul Pupil, can also be upgraded."

300 system experience stones, which Talent Users now called innate experience stones, instantly vanished, transforming into Tang Ping's experience.

His original level 1 Ice Soul Pupil immediately rose to level 3!

The accompanying attribute stones were also used up, all to enhance his four-dimensional attributes.

This body's four-dimensional attributes all surpassed one hundred.

【Player: Tang Ping

ID: 0079351681

Constitution: 101

Spirit: 120

Strength: 100

Speed: 105

Talent 1: Extreme Ice (S)

Talent Level: 2 (0 / 1000)

Talent 2: Ice Soul Pupil (A)

Talent Level: 3 (1900 / 10000)

】

A level 2 S-rank Talent and a level 3 A-Rank Talent, and they were both of the same attribute! Working together, the power they unleashed was not simply one plus one equals two.

His Ice Soul Pupil was a rare Talent with both mental and ice attributes.

When attacking, his eyes would emit an invisible and colorless mental attack. After the target was hit, their thoughts would become sluggish; in severe cases, their mind would directly freeze, and they would feel cold on a mental level, but their body would not actually suffer any cold.

If the S-rank Extreme Ice was combined with the Ice Soul Pupil, then not only the mind but also the body would freeze.

At this moment, Tang Ping was not afraid even when facing the Head of the Xiao Family.

Even after level 3, the gap between each level was already enormous, making it very difficult to fight above one's level. However, Tang Ping was confident that he would not lose against the Head of the Xiao Family, and might even defeat him!

Because his Talent grade was higher than the opponent's, and he possessed a rare mental attack Talent, as well as a Dual Talent, it wasn't a big problem to transcend one level and defeat a level 4 B-rank Talent Holder.

With his newfound strength, Tang Ping's mindset became more natural. He no longer needed to be overly cautious and no longer feared the hidden level 4 Talent User.

Although this level 4 Talent User was also level 4, their Talent grade was probably only C-rank, so there was no need to worry.

Tang Ping then gathered his other items, putting on the D-rank Sacred Light Bracelet. This item was given to him by Sister Wang and could automatically protect its owner when in danger.

cherry bombs, purchased with sunlight accumulated in plants vs. zombies, a full five of them!

cherry bombs were very powerful. If a level 4 Pollution Beast was hit directly in a vital spot, it would perish.

In addition, there was a bottle of E-rank healing potion, a bottle of D-rank antidote, and some pupa fluid, all good items.

He organized everything and placed it on the second floor. Gao Lin was also on the second floor; he needed to find an opportunity to have him come out and stay by his side.

As for the first floor, due to the Small Secret Ground, it was open plan.

Currently, Tang Ping was not ready to expose his identity. The Star Council's jurisdiction was turbulent, and hiding more strength meant more security.

So he still planned to quietly stay in the Xiao Family and wait for the storm to subside before making any plans.

Although the Old Days Society was coming fiercely, it would definitely not fight to the death with the Star Council.

Not to mention that the Star Council was already a behemoth second only to Hegemon-level Powers. Any force that truly wanted to engage them would inevitably pay a heavy price.

Simply put, the Old Days Society's goal dictated that they would not fight to the death with any force.

The Old Days Society's source of creating chaos was to harvest spirits, build a Dreamland, and even research mental immortality.

Therefore, this meant that after collecting enough spirits in one place, they would generally retreat.

Tang Ping was waiting for them to leave.

As for changing the current situation, he didn't even know who founded the Old Days Society, when it was established, or where it was established, so naturally, he had no way to stop it.

But Tang Ping believed in the current strength of the Star Council.

This force, after his many changes to history, was no longer a fish to be kneaded at will.

Tang Ping searched the Star Council's official website, gaining a better understanding of the Star Council.

The Star Council was known as 'One Sun Unseen, One Moon Hanging, Seven Stars Aligned!'

Tang Ping currently didn't know what 'One Sun Unseen' meant, and many within the Star Council themselves didn't know who the 'One Sun Unseen' represented.

But 'One Moon' naturally referred to Empress Yue Xi, and 'Seven Stars Aligned' referred to the other seven King-level and Empress-level powerhouses.

To say that the Star Council was only one titled powerhouse short of a Hegemon-level Power was not an exaggeration.

Tang Ping scrolled through. Besides these King-level and Empress-level powerhouses, the Star Council also had some very powerful level 7 Talent Users.

For example, the Star Council's Sword Demoness Lu Huihui, and the Ox Demon King Niu Bading. When he saw Niu Bading, Tang Ping's mouth twitched. This was undoubtedly Old Brother Niu, but he remembered Old Brother Niu's original name was Niu Dagen?

After understanding the Star Council, Tang Ping felt more confident, knowing that this time, at most, many ordinary people would die, and it would probably not truly shake the foundations of the Star Council.

He then began to search for Empress Taoyao.

Roar!

"Oh no! Someone, someone has turned into an Infected!"

Terrified shouts erupted outside the room, followed by chaotic footsteps and continuous roars.

The Xiao Family instantly descended into chaos, but family elders immediately stepped forward, along with the Head of the Xiao Family, quickly stabilizing the situation.

Subsequently, the Head of the Xiao Family urgently selected some people from the family. A portion went to the Safe Zone to clear out the Infected.

Another portion seemed to be heading outside the city?

The person guarding Tang Ping also became a level 3 Talent User.

Tang Ping came out of the room and stood there. He could see black smoke rising everywhere outside the Xiao Family, within the Safe Zone.

"The Old Days Society has made its move."
