Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 1400: Chapter 1397: That Charlatan! (First Update)

Xue An’s expression instantly became rather peculiar.

Of course, he knew who Zhuge Cang was.

The foremost diviner in the Multiverse, whose mastery of divination was said to encompass all of creation.

Although, in Xue An’s eyes, he seemed like nothing more than a charlatan. Yet, due to his mysterious and uncanny abilities, he was a presence no one in the Multiverse dared provoke.

Even the masters of those great Void sects had to show him some courtesy.

However, Xue An had a pretty good relationship with him. Back when he was in the Tian Zhao Star Domain, Xue An had even intervened to protect Zhuge Cang’s family.

But the problem was, Zhuge Cang was someone whose whereabouts were always unpredictable, to the point where even Xue An could hardly locate him.

So how had he come to the Ghost Realm, and how did he know this Zang Xueling?

These questions lingered in Xue An’s mind.

Zang Xueling, on the other hand, was trembling with fear, her face pale.

Because even now, Xue An was still gripping her neck.

Although, given her level of strength, she didn’t really need to breathe.

Yet under Xue An’s control, she felt as though she was being gradually peeled away from this world.

Once completely severed, she would be like a fish out of water, left at the mercy of others.

That feeling made her tremble all over.

But she dared not show even the slightest resistance.

Because she knew very well just how terrifying this youthful-looking, frail-seeming boy before her truly was.

He was the one who had once suppressed all the Multiverse’s most powerful beings, leaving them unable to even lift their heads!

At that moment, Xue An suddenly released his grip.

Zang Xueling fell into the void with a thud, breathing heavily in gasps.

Meanwhile, the crowd whose hearts had been caught in their throats couldn’t help but exhale in relief at the sight.

Whatever the case, Xue An had refrained from killing.

At the same time, Xue An stood before Zang Xueling, his face expressionless, and said, ”Now tell me exactly what’s going on. And how do you know that old charlatan?”

Zang Xueling nodded, took a deep breath, and began recounting her past.

The truth was quite simple.

Zang Xueling, though a member of the Ghost Race and ruler of this particular realm, held beliefs quite different from other ghosts!

She loathed brutality and bloodshed. As such, under her governance, this realm remained detached from worldly conflicts. Humans and ghosts coexisted harmoniously, creating a place that could almost be described as a utopia.

It was in this context that Zang Xueling accidentally encountered an elderly passerby.

At the time, Zang Xueling had no idea that this man was none other than Zhuge Cang, whose mere presence shook the cosmos and bent countless mighty figures to his will.

She only thought the elder was extraordinarily strange because everything he said struck directly at the core of her being and invariably came true.

Under such circumstances, Zang Xueling naturally held him in utmost reverence.

Zhuge Cang ended up living in this realm for a while.

But on a certain day, Zhuge Cang suddenly told Zang Xueling he was leaving!

Zang Xueling naturally tried to persuade him to stay.

But Zhuge Cang merely smiled and told Zang Xueling,

After observing for some time, he’d concluded that Zang Xueling, despite being of the Ghost Race, possessed a kind heart. Hence, he decided to help her.

And then Zhuge Cang had shared all kinds of information about Xue An with her.

When Zang Xueling first heard that the Divine Fire Ghost Sovereign of the Ghost Realm was actually the infamous Red Lotus Immortal Venerable of the Multiverse, she was utterly stunned.

Later, Zhuge Cang warned her that the Ghost Realm would soon descend into chaos. No matter what happened, she must remember not to oppose Xue An or any of his allies.

After delivering his message, Zhuge Cang had vanished without a trace.

However, Zang Xueling had always remembered his words, leading her to resolutely decline invitations extended by several powerful clans.

After recounting everything, Zang Xueling smiled bitterly and said, ”My lord, even that copy of *Liao Zhai* was given to me by the Immortal Master Zhuge! Every word I’ve said is true; I dare not utter a single lie!”

Xue An remained silent for a moment, then nodded and said indifferently, ”Rise.”

Xue An could certainly discern truth from lies.

In truth, if Zang Xueling hadn’t genuinely met Zhuge Cang, she wouldn’t have been able to describe his mannerisms and words in such detail.

That old charlatan—what exactly was he plotting? Xue An grumbled inwardly.

”Yes!” Zang Xueling shakily rose to her feet, her face still carrying traces of fear.

”You mentioned powerful clans targeting you. Who are they?” Xue An changed the topic and asked in a stern voice.

”Reporting to my lord, the Luo Family is indeed one of the major clans, but the branch stationed in this realm is merely one of their offshoots. The true Luo Family resides deep within the Ghost Realm. Furthermore, to my knowledge, not only the Luo Family but also the Mo Family and Pan Family from within the depths of the Ghost Realm have joined the siege!” Zang Xueling replied without hesitation.

She had always relished the act of digging pits for her enemies!

”The Jing Family and Pan Family?”

”Correct! Moreover, the detailed circumstances of these two families should be well known to this young girl over there!” As she spoke, Zang Xueling turned her gaze toward Luo Jingting, who sat dazed on the ground in the distance.

Xue An remained composed as he suddenly appeared before Luo Jingting, quietly observing her before suddenly asking, ”Do you hate me right now?”

Hearing Xue An’s words, Luo Jingting trembled all over, finally snapping out of her shock and confusion. She stared blankly at Xue An, her eyes flashing with grief and fury.

Though she said nothing, her gaze conveyed everything.

Xue An chuckled, ”Hating me isn’t surprising at all. After all, in your eyes, I killed your mother and your clan! Even though their intentions were malicious and they treated you as a mere tool, they were still your family, weren’t they?”

Luo Jingting’s face was frosty as she nodded, ”Yes!”

Then, after pausing briefly, she added slowly, ”Go ahead, do it!”

Saying so, she closed her eyes.

”Do it? Do what?” Xue An asked with an amused smirk.

”Don’t you want to kill me?”

”Kill you? Why would I want to kill you?”

”Hmm?” Luo Jingting’s eyes snapped open, showing a hint of confusion.

She had already prepared herself for the worst.

She knew very well that, given her strength, she was no match for this boy. So she might as well embrace death.

Xue An chuckled lightly, ”I think you’ve misunderstood one thing. I killed them not because I wanted to, but because they deserved to die!”

Xue An grinned at Luo Jingting, flashing his teeth, ”Besides, do you truly believe you carry the bloodline of the Luo Family?”

”What are you saying?” Luo Jingting’s heart lurched as she stared at him, stunned.

Xue An said calmly, ”The Ghost Race is naturally infertile. Do you think they’d sacrifice a legitimate descendant for a mere tool?”

Luo Jingting’s complexion turned deathly pale as the implications struck her.

From childhood to now, only Luo Li had cared for her. She had never seen her father.

Moreover, Luo Li had always treated her with cold indifference...

All these unsettling details surged into Luo Jingting’s mind, leaving her trembling with icy dread.

Meanwhile, Zang Xueling also descended nearby, softly smiling at Luo Jingting.

”The lord is right. Your heritage is definitely not as simple as you think. If you wish to uncover the truth, the best course of action is to go to the Luo Family’s main house deep within the Ghost Realm and seek answers directly!”

Perhaps due to Zang Xueling’s peculiar aura, Luo Jingting’s confusion gradually dissipated upon hearing her words. She finally nodded firmly.

”Fine! I will go to uncover the truth myself!”
