Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 469: Chapter 469: Two Sharpening Stones (3rd update)

Speaking of these matters, Bian Qingmu felt a heavy weight in his heart.

In the past year, the Fire Phoenix Sect and Profound Wind Tower, these two emerging sects, had swept through more than half of the Kunlun Secret Realm with a wildfire’s ferocity.

Many ancient sects with thousands of years of heritage had been destroyed, and numerous renowned masters had been killed.

Such rapid growth was enough to prove the terrifying strength of these two sects.

Moreover, these two sects had more than once proclaimed that if Xue An dared return, they would surely execute him.

Bian Qingmu admired Xue An’s strength, but what he was facing this time were two sects that were no less powerful than the Immortal Palace at its peak.

Bian Qingmu always felt somewhat uncertain in his heart.

Upon hearing this, Xue An laughed, “Interesting.”

Then he turned to Cheng Hao and the others and said, “We came to the Kunlun Secret Realm specifically for your intensive training. Now that we have these ready-made whetstones, we shall set out tomorrow!”

“Yes!” Cheng Hao and the others bowed in unison.

Their voices shook the roof tiles.

Bian Qingmu looked at the menacing Fire Phoenix members and couldn’t help feeling a chill in his heart.

Whetstones.

So in the eyes of the master, these two enormous entities that stirred up the situation in Kunlun were merely whetstones?

At this moment, Bian Tian couldn’t help but ask, “Immortal Master, where shall we go first tomorrow?”

“Since our City Lord has requested to make up the taxation, we should give him some face! Let’s start with Jizhou,” Xue An said indifferently.

Jizhou City.

Jia Yingfa had been in a good mood these past few days.

Ever since he found support from the Fire Phoenix Sect, Jia Yingfa felt his fortunes had turned.

Otherwise, how could he have possibly become the City Lord of Jizhou City?

“Has the tax from Qingmu Town arrived yet?” Jia Yingfa asked.

“My lord, not yet!”

“Nonsense!” Jia Yingfa slammed the table and stood up, “I issued a public decree ordering them to pay the overdue taxes within three days, and tomorrow is the third day. Yet now, not even a shadow of them has been seen! It seems that Qingmu Town has no regard for me as their City Lord!”

With his beard blowing and eyes widened, Jia Yingfa threw a fit of rage, then said in a cold voice, “If they still haven’t come by tomorrow, then send people to flatten that little Qingmu Town!”

“Yes!”

Jia Yingfa waved his hand, and his servant retreated.

Then Jia Yingfa put on a sycophantic face and rushed into a room at the back, falling to his knees with a thud.

“Disciple pays respects to the Hall Master!”

“Stand up!”

Jia Yingfa stood up, nodding and bowing as he said, “Reporting to the Hall Master, until today, the people of Qingmu Town have not come. I estimate that they definitely will not make it by tomorrow’s deadline!”

The Hall Master of the Temple of the Fire God, Du Bing, put down his teacup and chuckled, “Good, you’ve done well! I will report this to the Hall Master later.”

Jia Yingfa was overjoyed, “Thank you for your cultivation, Hall Master! I have already made it clear that if they do not arrive by tomorrow’s deadline, I will immediately send people to take down Qingmu Town!”

Du Bing nodded, then suddenly lowered his voice, “I’ve heard that the Town Master of Qingmu Town is a woman?”

Upon hearing this, Jia Yingfa revealed a knowing smile and leaned in to whisper, “Hall Master, that Town Master of Qingmu Town, Bian Qingmu, is a famous woman in the eastern region of Kunlun, known for her beauty. And I’ve also heard that her sister, named Bian Tian, is in the bloom of youth, a beauty of stunning grace.”

Du Bing’s eyes lit up, and he coughed lightly, “I believe these two women must know some secrets about Xue An. When the time comes, do not harm them; bring them to me for a thorough inquiry.”

“Rest assured, Hall Master, I will handle this matter properly for you.”

Du Bing patted Jia Yingfa on the shoulder, satisfied, “Very good, you have potential. In the future, you will surely have a chance to become a Hall Master. Go now!”

“Yes!”

Upon leaving the back house, Jia Yingfa felt as if he had shed three pounds, light and airy all over.

Now, as merely a Hall Master of the Temple of the Fire God, he already held the position of a City Lord in charge of a region.

If he were to become a Hall Master, wouldn’t riches, glory, and eternal youth be within easy reach?

As he contemplated, Jia Yingfa increasingly felt that Qingmu Town was the key to his future blissful life.

He must handle this matter well! Jia Yingfa resolved firmly in his heart.

That very night, he summoned many of his top experts and carefully laid out various plans.

At the same time, Jia Yingfa issued a deadly command.

Capture Bian Qingmu and Bian Tian, the sisters, alive at all costs.

By the time everything was ready, it was already noon the next day, and Jia Yingfa was just about to set off.

The steward rushed in hurriedly, a peculiar expression on his face.

“My lord! The people from Qingmu Town… have arrived!”

“Hmm?” Jia Yingfa’s eyes widened.

“How many people have come?”

“Quite a number. They say they have come to pay the taxes!”

Jia Yingfa was somewhat stunned.

At that time, he had merely sought an excuse to wage war on Qingmu Town; hence, he demanded an astoundingly large amount on a whim.

He hadn’t expected them to actually come up with it.

Jia Yingfa pondered for a moment, then with a grim expression, said, “Let’s go and see!”

Jia Yingfa walked to the front.

Indeed.

He saw many people standing in front of the mansion’s gate.

Jia Yingfa coughed once, slowly walked up the steps in front of the gate, looked over the crowd below, and then said in a deep voice, “You… are all from Qingmu Town?”

Bian Qingmu was talking to Xue An when she heard the shout. She looked up to see Jia Yingfa and couldn’t help clenching her teeth.

“Sir, this is the City Lord of Jizhou City.”

At this moment, Jia Yingfa also saw Bian Qingmu and sneered slightly, “Town Master Bian, you mentioned a deadline of three days, and you are quite punctual indeed, right on the last moment. Are you showing contempt for Jizhou City?”

Before Bian Qingmu could speak, Xue An stepped forward with a slight smile.

“And who are you?”

“I?” Jia Yingfa haughtily lifted his head, “I am the City Lord of Jizhou! Boy, you ask me who I am, then who are you?”

“Oh, so you are the City Lord of Jizhou. In that case, the one forcing Qingmu Town to pay taxes is you then!”

“What do you mean ‘forcing’? This is what they should be paying!”

“You’re talking nonsense!” Bian Hua could no longer restrain himself and leaped up, exclaiming.

“I have inquired. Within the entire territory of Jizhou, you only made us from Qingmu Town pay, and you still have the nerve to claim it’s what we should do?”

Jia Yingfa’s expression tightened as he was insulted, and he sneered, “Town Master Bian, it seems you have come here looking for trouble!”

Xue An smiled at these words and shook his head, “You are mistaken!”

“We did not come to find trouble; we have come to kill!”

As soon as Xue An’s words fell,

all members of the Fire Phoenix hidden among the crowd suddenly erupted into action.

The guards around Jia Yingfa didn’t have time to react before Cheng Hao and the others caught them completely by surprise.

All this happened as fast as lightning strikes, and Jia Yingfa didn’t get a chance to react until all his guards were dead, after which his body trembled, and his face showed a look of terror.
