Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 724: Chapter 724 Water Sacrifice? Rain! (1st Update)

The Xiong Family held significant power in Silver City, otherwise, they wouldn’t have a seat on the Silver Council.

Now that Xiong Hai had been killed by this young man, it was certain that the Xiong Family wouldn’t let the matter rest.

Although Croliya greatly appreciated Ah Tu, she still decided not to get involved in this matter any longer.

After all, compared to a prominent family in Silver City, the weight of a young expert was still too light.

So after a few looks, she silently moved through the crowd and entered the tower.

Witnessing this, many people’s gaze toward Ah Tu became increasingly unfriendly.

But more people were astonished by Xiong Xi’s behavior.

The Holy Maiden had already made it clear that she would not interfere.

Why hadn’t he taken action yet?

Could he be waiting until after the water sacrifice ceremony to seek revenge?

In the face of these astonished looks, Xiong Xi paid no attention, but a hint of murderous intent flickered in the depths of his eyes.

Ah Tu naturally felt the tension in the atmosphere, especially the fierce light in Xiong Xi’s eyes— even a fool could sense his hatred.

Therefore, Ah Tu whispered to Xue An, “Sir, this guy must be from the Xiong Family. Should we take action?”

Xue An did not express any agreement or disagreement, but kept observing the tower, and after a while, he said indifferently, “No rush, let’s wait a bit longer! We’ll wait until after the completion of the water sacrifice ceremony!”

Ah Tu nodded and then stared back at Xiong Xi without showing weakness, revealing a hint of a cold smile.

Seeing Ah Tu’s demeanor, Xiong Xi’s originally unattractive face became even more somber, as if about to drip water.

And the butler and others standing behind Xiong Xi could hardly restrain themselves from coming forward, but were stopped by Xiong Xi’s gesture.

Just as the atmosphere was becoming extremely tense.

A huge cheer erupted from the crowd.

“The King!”

“The Immortal Monarch!”

The people looked up.

They saw the figure of the City Lord of Silver City appearing on the lookout platform at the top of the tower.

Seeing the City Lord’s strange attire, Ah Tu asked curiously, “Sir, why is that person dressed so oddly?”

Xue An’s expression remained calm. “Person? Heh, just keep watching!”

Ah Tu wanted to ask more, but just at that moment.

They heard the City Lord wave his hand in greeting, then with a weird voice shouted, “My people, to showcase my glory, the water sacrifice now begins!”

With his command, a huge cheer erupted from the crowd.

But Ah Tu failed to notice anything unusual, leaving him utterly bewildered.

“What are these guys cheering for… Huh?”

Ah Tu’s eyes widened as he stared blankly at the sky.

He saw thick clouds gathering in the sky, forever shrouded by a gray fog, forming dense overcast layers above.

These clouds quickly amassed, centering over the tower and blanketing the entire square before droplets began to fall from them.

In the beginning, they were sparse, but soon, the speed of the falling droplets quickened.

In an instant, it turned into a cascade of rain curtains.

Ah Tu was initially alarmed, but when the droplets hit him, he was stunned.

Because there wasn’t the slightest numbness when the water touched him, indicating that the water was almost radiation-free.

Ah Tu was simply dumbfounded.

“What… what is this?”

Having grown up in this wasteland world, the notion of clean water with extremely low radiation falling from the sky was almost beyond his imagination.

“This is the Water Sacrifice! But for me, I prefer to call it rain,” Xue An said indifferently.

“Rain… rain?” Ah Tu was clearly fascinated by the word he had never heard before.

Xue An smiled, “It’s just a very natural phenomenon, one that you all have simply never seen before!”

At that moment, everyone in the square was so excited that they knelt down, some so eagerly that they had already prostrated themselves on the ground, beginning to frantically suck up the rainwater.

For these people, there might be only one such opportunity a year to indulge in the luxury of tasting clean water.

But most were using various containers they had brought with them to collect the water.

This would be their source of life for a long time to come.

Regardless of what they were doing, all of them were bowing reverently to the City Lord of Silver City above the high tower, some even crying tears of excitement, loudly calling out the name to express their reverence.

Xue An watched all this with a cold eye and said quietly, “To deprive you of what originally belonged to you and then grant you a little favor, making you so grateful, is indeed a clever tactic!”

“My Lord, what did you say?” Ah Tu asked with some confusion.

Xue An smiled, “Nothing much!”

The rain continued for a while longer before it began to dissipate gradually.

Just then, Xiong Xi, who had been sitting there, suddenly leapt up from his seat, tilted his face upward, and shouted towards the Silver City Lord and Croliya above the high tower, “City Lord, Holy Maiden! I have something to say!”

His voice echoed throughout the venue, instantly attracting everyone’s attention.

The Silver City Lord looked down at Xiong Xi, “What do you have to say?”

Xiong Xi gritted his teeth and pointed at Ah Tu, “City Lord, didn’t you warn us to be wary of outsiders? Now, I can tell you that this man is the outsider who slaughtered Black Iron City!”

Boom!

This statement landed like a thunderbolt, provoking a multitude of gasps.

“Outsider?”

“This young man is an outsider?”

Croliya was also taken aback, and then, with a serious expression, she asked, “Xiong Xi, what exactly is going on?”

Xiong Xi, having prepared his words in advance, said hatefully, “Holy Maiden, my son Xiong Hai was killed last night, you must be aware of it!”

“You certainly think my son had no good intentions going there!”

“But the truth is not like that at all. From the moment you encountered this young man on the street, Xiong Hai became suspicious of him and went to investigate him at night!”

“But who would have thought that this person would act so ruthlessly, killing my son, so as to silence him!”

“What he didn’t expect was that my son had a secret technique that could send some important information in a critical moment!”

“He told me at that time that this guy is the murderer who destroyed Black Iron City, killing my second son, Xiong Lei!”

As soon as these words were spoken, almost everyone believed them.

If Xue An didn’t know the inside story, he would have been deceived by this emphatic man too.

After all, his explanation was seamless and sounded impeccable, quite perfect.

Croliya’s expression changed, and then she looked towards the Silver City Lord.

“My King! How should we deal with this…?”

The Silver City Lord had not spoken yet, but was looking down at Ah Tu from high above.

Even at this moment, Ah Tu was still looking up proudly, showing no sign of fear.

In fact, there was even a hint of excitement in his heart.

Xiong Xi, however, was overjoyed.
