Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 1525: Chapter 1522: Ancient Ruins, Happy Cooperation! (First Update)

This unexpected gunshot shook everyone to their core.

From the beginning until now, in just a few moments, An Guocong and Tao Chengde had consecutively met their deaths, leaving only He Yino among the three council members of the Tower of Truth.

In such circumstances, all eyes naturally fell on Xue An.

They saw Xue An quietly looking at He Yino, the smile at the corner of his mouth growing wider.

”Oh? Cooperation?”

He Yino nodded, solemnly saying, ”That’s right, cooperation!”

Having said this, He Yino paused for a moment. Seeing that Xue An showed no unusual expression, she continued, ”I know why you came here, and now that Tao Chengde is dead, I’m the only one who can help you achieve this!”

”So how do you propose we cooperate?” Xue An asked calmly.

”It’s simple, I want to be the master of the Tower of Truth, and you... will have access to all the secrets I know!” He Yino said in a deep voice.

Upon hearing her words, the room fell silent.

Even the faces of those in front of the light screen became solemn.

Because they had all just heard the four words ”ancient relic” spoken by He Yino.

Everyone knew exactly what those four words meant.

After all, although many relics have been unearthed over the years, almost all came from the decline after the great war; a true ancient relic has never been discovered.

But now, hearing He Yino say this, everyone suddenly realized why the Tower of Truth had been able to dominate in Alchemy for so many years: they actually held a true ancient relic.

It was simply incredible and drove people mad with excitement.

At least the president of the Relic Seekers Guild thought so, and he swore that if he had known this information before today, even if it meant risking the entire strength of the Relic Seekers Alliance to oppose the Tower of Truth, they would find a way to obtain this secret and excavate the ancient relic.

After all, for these relic seekers who live by excavating relics, the allure of an ancient relic was simply too great.

But now...

The president of the Relic Seekers Guild looked at Xue An in the image, showing a trace of a bitter smile on his face.

No one would want to be an enemy of such a monster.

Not even a formidable force could, because... the example of the Tower of Truth was right before them.

At the same time, after a moment of silence, Xue An smiled faintly at He Yino, then extended his hand, saying calmly, ”In that case, let’s have a fruitful cooperation!”

A slightly pale He Yino finally let out a long breath at his words, then stretched out her hand to shake Xue An’s hand lightly.

”Fruitful cooperation!”

The scene of the two shaking hands was broadcasted through the light screen into the eyes of everyone present.

This made the way various forces looked at Xue An very complicated.

There was fear, suspicion, but more than anything, there was concern.

Because no one knew whether, when this mysterious youth possessed an ancient relic, it would bring fortune or disaster to this world.

But one thing was certain; the world would no longer be at peace!

In the Auction Alliance, the light screen gradually faded away.

The young girl gathered her thoughts, lowered her head, and remained silent.

The hall was silent, and no one dared disturb the girl’s contemplation.

At that moment, the sound of urgent footsteps came from outside.

A middle-aged butler hurriedly walked in, bowed, and saluted.

”Miss, the matter which you asked me to investigate has yielded some results!”

”Oh?” The girl suddenly raised her head, speaking in a stern tone, ”Has the person been brought in?”

”He’s just outside!”

”Let him in!”

”Yes!”

Soon, Wen Jinkui was led in.

Upon seeing the girl seated behind the bead curtain, Wen Jinkui knelt on the ground and saluted respectfully.

”Auctioneer Wen Jinkui from Qingshi Cheng, greetings, Miss!”

His words were full of infinite respect and excitement.

For an auctioneer from the remote Qingshi Cheng, it was unlikely he would meet this girl under ordinary circumstances, let alone pay his respects.

That’s why he was so excited.

Because this girl was an idol admired by all auctioneers in the Auction Alliance.

Nalan Zhongqin!

She hailed from the Nalan Family, which controlled the Auction Alliance, and she was the youngest child in the family.

Though young, she was immensely legendary.

From the moment of her birth, she possessed an extraordinary gift for seeing through authenticity, able to appraise alchemical items independently by the age of seven, and preside over auctions alone by fifteen.

By the age of twenty, her appraisal skills were unmatched, unrivaled by anyone.

Coupled with her extremely calm mind, she had, in just a few short years, surpassed her elder siblings to take effective control of this vast Auction Alliance.

Seeing such a legendary figure today, Wen Jinkui was naturally filled with excitement.

Nalan Zhongqin nodded, not indulging in unnecessary pleasantries, getting straight to the point.

”A few days ago, a set of Alchemy Armor was auctioned in Qingshi Cheng. Was it sold?”

Wen Jinkui already knew the reason for his summoning while on the way, so after hearing Nalan Zhongqin’s words, he nodded without hesitation.

”That’s right!”

”Good! Look at this person; was he the one who bought that armor?”

With those words, Nalan Zhongqin waved her hand, and a carefully selected segment of light screen footage appeared before Wen Jinkui.

Upon seeing Xue An in the armor, with only his face exposed, Wen Jinkui was startled, immediately nodding and saying, ”That’s right! It’s him! But strangely, the armor on him looks different from the one at the auction!”

”Oh? Different? How so?” Nalan Zhongqin’s eyes lit up as she asked immediately.

Wen Jinkui shook his head, ”I can’t say exactly because the armor he’s wearing has many differences from the one at the auction, but in some places, they’re very similar, as if... they’ve merged!”

Upon hearing this, Nalan Zhongqin’s expression changed dramatically. She immediately stood up and started pacing behind the bead curtain, muttering to herself.

”Merged... armor? So that’s it! No wonder his wings have four feathers, but what does this mean? Could it be that his armor is still far from its complete form? Heavens, what must be the true form of this armor?”

Nalan Zhongqin’s expression shifted unpredictably, and the room stirred slightly.

Wen Jinkui was still in the dark, unaware of what had happened.

After all, Qingshi Cheng was relatively remote, and from Xue An’s massacre of the alchemy master Duan Fuxian to now subduing the Tower of Truth, hadn’t taken even a day.

Except for those able to watch the light screen broadcasts, most ordinary people were still unaware of the news.
