Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 1429: Chapter 1426: Lava Land (3rd Update)

Xue An smiled and nodded.

He trusted these two people’s skills.

Because if they didn’t have even this bit of ability, they would have long been crushed in the previous aristocratic power struggles.

In the meantime, everyone had already woken up and gathered in this small courtyard.

Xue An glanced at Luo Jingting, who looked sorrowful in the crowd, and couldn’t help but sigh lightly.

Previously, Xue An learned from searching the memories of Luo Family Head, Luo Gaoyang, that Luo Jingting wasn’t a member of the Luo Family at all. As for her true background, even Luo Gaoyang wasn’t very clear.

He only knew she was bought from a trafficker!

Due to the passage of time, it’s impossible to know from where exactly she was bought.

This severed any chances Luo Jingting had to investigate her true identity.

This naturally filled the young girl with sorrow.

Thinking of this, Xue An pointed and said, ”Miss Luo!”

Luo Jingting trembled all over, took a step forward, and bowed, ”My lord!”

Her voice was hoarse and she looked very haggard.

Xue An said softly, ”Although your background is unknown, today the Luo Family is no longer what it used to be, so you might as well stay in the Luo Family. I believe Luo Jian would be willing too!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Jian nodded and replied without hesitation, ”My lord, don’t worry. I will treat Jingting as if she were my own sister!”

Luo Jingting was filled with bitterness, but ultimately she nodded and said in a voice as soft as a mosquito’s buzz, ”Thank you, my lord!”

”Miss Wen....”

Before he could finish, Wen Muling shook her head solemnly and said, ”My lord, don’t say more. I won’t leave because I made a vow to see those aristocrats who harmed the Nether Monarch suffer for their actions!”

Xue An smiled, ”Who said I was asking you to go back!”

”Uh....” Wen Muling was a bit stunned.

”I know that before leaving, Zang Xueling gave you a Fang Ancient Mirror. Use it to tell her that the affairs of the Luo Family have been resolved, and that the many aristocrats hidden deep within the Ghost Realm have been punished. She can be at ease now!”

”Oh, alright! I understand! I will go do it right away!” Wen Muling nodded.

The remaining task was to sort out various trivial matters deep inside the Ghost Realm.

Soon, everything was organized.

Xue An then led the group and boarded this Ghost Carriage with the Wei Qingxiao siblings, then took off, transforming into black light, heading toward the Central Ghost Realm.

Luo Jian and Ren Tianqi watched the Ghost Carriage that had already disappeared with respectful expressions. Only after a long while did they slowly exhale.

”Brother Tianqi, do you think the lord will return safely this time?”

Ren Tianqi glanced at Luo Jian and nodded seriously, ”Certainly!”

Luo Jian also smiled, ”Indeed, I think so too!”

This Ghost Carriage’s speed wasn’t very fast, but it was definitely tailor-made for traveling through the Ghost Realm.

The journey was smooth without any bumps, allowing them to exit the depths of the Ghost Realm with ease and fly into the territory of the Central Ghost Realm.

This place, in essence, is the essence of the entire Ghost Realm.

Many ghosts from the outskirts might spend their entire lives unable to step into this Central Ghost Realm.

So for many, this Central Ghost Realm is their Holy Land.

The Ghost Carriage slowly glided across the sky of the Central Ghost Realm.

It’s not that its speed is slow; it’s just that this land is vast beyond measure, making even this massive Ghost Carriage seem incredibly small and its speed akin to that of a snail, moving sluggishly.

An Yan stood in front of the porthole full of surprise, looking at the land the Ghost Carriage was flying over.

This was the ultimate desolation, with tiny ghost fires floating above the pale land.

There were no plants, no rivers, and the ground was as flat as a mirror without a single undulation.

Only a thin black mist meandered over the land, moving slowly, like a giant beast lazily crawling across the earth.

The surrounding silence was terrifying, with no signs of life.

”Husband, is this the Central Ghost Realm?” An Yan asked in shock.

”Yes! This is the Central Ghost Realm! Are you wondering why it’s so desolate, even less so than those outer Ghost Realms?”

An Yan nodded, ”Yes! Those outer Ghost Realms at least have mountains and rivers, but here there’s nothing!”

”That’s only because the outer Ghost Realms are all ghost worlds formed through later development, while this Central Ghost Realm is the true origin of the primordial ghost realm!”

”The origin of the primordial ghost realm?”

”Exactly! In simpler terms, this is the root of all ghosts, and the layers of ghost realms encasing it were acquired later by ghosts through slowly eroding and conquering other planes! That’s why there’s such a stark contrast in landscapes!”

”Living here must be so dull, right?” An Yan sighed.

”Haha, we’re only flying over the outermost area of the Central Ghost Realm right now. Because it’s situated in such a remote area, it can’t nurture any strong beings, which is why it’s so barren. When we fly further in, the situation will be different!” Xue An explained.

At first, An Yan couldn’t understand what different scenarios lay ahead until a day later when the Ghost Carriage flew into an even wider area. Then she understood what Xue An meant.

She saw the ground below was filled with rivers of flowing lava, scorching heat waves soaring into the sky, even distorting the air.

Even inside the Ghost Carriage, one could feel the temperature rising around them.

Yet in this extremely harsh environment, countless ghosts in chains, almost naked, were laboring on the ground.

What they had to do was extract the molten lava from the streams and use it to build cities.

This work was extremely dangerous, and in just a moment, An Yan saw more than one ghost fall into the lava, screaming as they turned to nothingness.

The tragic scene made An Yan somewhat pale.

”Husband....”

Xue An smiled faintly, ”Don’t be afraid, just look again!”

An Yan looked again and saw that at the edge of the lava streams, the ghosts who had just been burned to nothingness were beginning to re-form.

In an instant, the deceased ghosts appeared intact before her, continuing their numb toil.

If anyone among the group showed the slightest slackness, a whip would spontaneously appear beside them, lashing out and often causing the ghost to scream pathetically.

”Husband, what’s going on here?” An Yan asked, her heart racing, and turned away unable to look further.

Xue An said calmly, ”This is the place of punishment for the Ghost Race! If I’m not mistaken, this should be the Lava Land!”

”Place of punishment? Are you saying these ghosts are all those who’ve committed mistakes? And there’s someone in charge of this place too?” An Yan asked curiously.

”Not all of them have committed crimes! At least many are discard pieces from losing battles in aristocratic power struggles! As for who governs this place....”

Xue An said solemnly, ”Those who can control this place of punishment are generally powerhouses of the Palace Master Level!”
