Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 597: Chapter 597: Protector of the Monastery (First Update)

The Golden Hall atop the mountain.

Second Elder Wei Chi Xing led a group of disciples as they stood on the square in front of the grand hall, welcoming guests from all directions.

Streaks of light paused in their flight and then descended to the ground.

“Second Elder!”

“Brother Wei Chi!”

These greetings were uttered one after another.

Wei Chi Xing responded with a smile and nodded repeatedly.

“Everyone, please enter the grand hall to rest first, our Sect Leader will arrive shortly!”

Disciples were already leading the way, guiding these guests into the grand hall.

Within Central Province, the Puppet Immortal Sect could also be considered a formidable force. As they hosted this grand banquet, various powers naturally had to show face, and even if they could not come in person, they would send disciples to extend their congrats.

Thus, for a time, guests were as plentiful as clouds, and the scene was extremely lively.

Just then, a blue lotus flower flew across the sky, not yet touching down but already carrying a man’s laughter with it.

“Since when has the Second in Command taken up the role of welcoming guests?”

Upon seeing the visitor, a respectful expression appeared on Wei Chi Xing’s face, as he stepped forward and performed a cupped-fist salute.

“Protector Wan jests, how can I claim to be the Second in Command!”

At that moment, the lotus landed, and as the brilliance dissipated, a man and a woman appeared.

The man was clad in a green robe, with handsome and refined features, exuding an otherworldly temperament.

The woman was no more than fifteen or sixteen years old, just having come of age. Her black hair was coiled up, and she had a beautiful countenance, but what drew the most attention was the beauty mark between her eyebrows, red like cinnabar, which added a touch of serenity to the young girl’s face.

“It’s Wan Chengyi from the Garan Sect, and that girl must be the Garan Sect’s young Holy Maiden, Shan Ruoling. Such important figures actually made a personal appearance; this event must be quite the affair!” someone discussed.

At the moment, Wan Chengyi slightly smiled, “Brother Wei Chi is too modest, who doesn’t know that Sect Master Cang of the Puppet Immortal Sect is so obsessed with cultivation and often in seclusion, that it’s indeed Brother Wei Chi who is managing everything in this grand Sect?”

These words seemed complimentary, yet they were somewhat embarrassing.

Wei Chi Xing felt uncomfortable inside, but as Wan Chengyi was an honored guest, it wouldn’t be appropriate to make a retort, so he could only laugh it off and then ordered a disciple to lead Wan Chengyi and his female disciple into the grand hall.

After they had gone, Wei Chi Xing’s expression turned grim.

“Master! That Protector Wan’s words were quite barbed!” Lu Cailan remarked.

Wei Chi Xing sneered, “That Wan Chengyi is notorious for meddling; there’s no need to mind him!”

Meanwhile, inside the grand hall, Wan Chengyi and his disciple were speaking of similar matters.

“Master, it seems you have quite an unfavorable view of this Second Elder of the Puppet Sect,” Shan Ruoling said softly.

Wan Chengyi, seated near the entrance of the grand hall, gave a gentle shake of his head, then glanced at the distant figure of Wei Chi Xing and said indifferently, “Wei Chi Xing has a terrible reputation in the cultivation world, especially you should be very careful around him and better stay away from him! After all, if he could lay a hand on his own disciple, how is he any different from a beast?”

The unsavory affair of Wei Chi Xing with his female disciple was known by almost everyone, except for the seclusion-loving Sect Leader of Puppet Immortal Sect, Cang Yayun, who was still in the dark.

Shan Ruoling’s cheeks turned slightly red upon hearing this and she nodded lightly, “Your disciple understands!”

Then, she quietly scanned the entire place, looking for a familiar figure.

But to her disappointment, she found none.

Liu KeKe, that fellow, why hadn’t she appeared yet? Could it be she wasn’t with her own Sect?

Shan Ruoling pondered with some doubt in her heart.

At that moment, a bustle came from outside.

Wan Chengyi and his disciple turned to look.

They saw a woman with long hair reaching her waist, and a countenance as enchanting as a fox’s, emerge onto the square.

Shan Ruoling’s heart leapt with joy, it was KeKe!

Just as she was about to rise to greet her, she hesitated.

Huh, who are those few people with her?

Especially that man, with his handsome appearance but yet a very casual demeanor.

And with his black hair and black pupils, he was actually a member of the Hua Clan!

Even more, a member of the Hua Clan with no cultivation level at all.

Could it be that this man is related to KekKe? Otherwise, how could a member of the Hua Clan without cultivation level appear here?

Thinking this, Shan Ruoling felt a sourness welling up in her heart.

Meanwhile, Wan Chengyi cast a somewhat surprised glance at Lian Yunting.

Because he could see at a glance that this woman actually possessed the power of the Four Symbols.

Both master and disciple harbored their own thoughts.

Xue An and Liu KekKe and the others had already arrived at the entrance of the great hall.

“We have seen… the Second Elder!” Liu KekKe hesitated for a moment but still bowed and said.

Angelus Hsing, however, wore a benevolent smile of a senior from the same sect, “We are all from one sect, no need for such courtesy! Stand up quickly!”

Liu KekKe stood up straight, looking at Angelus Hsing with some surprise and doubt.

Strange, her second shifu had never been so pleasant and kind to her before.

At this moment, Angelus Hsing then turned his gaze to Xue An standing at the side.

Seeing that Xue An indeed had no fluctuations of cultivation level, a hint of disdain flashed deep in Angelus Hsing’s eyes, but he still said with a smile plastered on his face, “This must be KekKe’s senior! Truly a case of a hero being young! A person of great talent!”

The last remark about being a person of great talent was said with extra emphasis.

Liu KekKe’s expression changed.

But Xue An merely smiled subtlety, “I cannot claim to be a hero born of youth, but that certainly beats some who don’t show respect despite their age! Wouldn’t you say that’s right, KekKe?”

Liu KekKe nodded without hesitation.

Angelus Hsing’s expression tightened, but then he laughed again in an instant.

“Ah, since you are KekKe’s friend, you are a distinguished guest of our sect today. KekKe, why not lead these gentlemen into the hall quickly!”

Xue An remained noncommittal, his gaze sweeping past Lu Cailan who stood always behind Angelus Hsing. A faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth before he strode away.

When Lu Cailan was caught in Xue An’s gaze, she couldn’t help but shiver all over. And when she caught sight of the smile at the corner of his mouth, she felt a coldness engulf her, with her cheeks stinging in pain.

It was only after Xue An had walked far away that she gradually returned to normal. Then she looked at the backs of Xue An and the others with intense venom.

“Master!” Lu Cailan said hatefully.

Angelus Hsing waved his hand with a dark expression, his eyes full of anger, “Don’t worry, none of them will get away later!”

As they walked into the great hall, Shan Ruoling hurriedly stood up and waved, “KekKe, over here!”

Seeing Shan Ruoling, Liu KekKe also lit up, then whispered softly, “Predecessor, this is my friend, the Holy Maiden of the Garan Sect, Shan Ruoling. That sitting over there is her master, the Protector of the Garan Sect, Wan Chengyi!”

Xue An nodded slightly.

Subsequently, Liu KekKe walked over, “We have seen Protector Wan!”

Wan Chengyi nodded in acknowledgment, but his eyes lingered on Lian Yunting, feeling increasingly astonished the more he looked.

Such a strong power of the Four Symbols.

But in this world, aside from the Garan Sect’s Garan Song of the Way, it seems no other sect could cultivate the power of the Four Symbols!

“KekKe, who is that person?” After exchanging some pleasantries of reunion with Shan Ruoling, Liu KekKe pointed at Xue An and whispered.

“He is my senior, a distinguished personage of the Hua Clan!” Liu KekKe said.

“A distinguished personage of the Hua Clan?” Shan Ruoling’s face showed disbelief, “A person without cultivation level is called a distinguished personage?”

Liu KekKe was about to explain when suddenly a figure appeared on the stage of the great hall.

It was a dignified middle-aged woman.

Upon seeing this woman, all the guests in the hall, as well as the disciples of the Puppet Immortal Sect, stood up.

“We have seen Sect Leader Cang!”

The newcomer was the Sect Leader of the Puppet Immortal Sect, Cang Yayun.
