Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 1569: Chapter 1566: Don’t Rush to Leave! (First Update)

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire hall was plunged into silence.

Many people’s eyes gradually widened, staring at Xue An with astonishment.

Even Xia Zheng and the various elders of the Xia Family were no exception; all were shocked by Xue An’s words.

Xia Yi was also taken aback because he had not expected Xue An to agree so readily, rendering all his prepared rhetoric useless.

But soon, a smug, cold smile appeared on Xia Yi’s lips.

”Good! How straightforward! Regardless of your strength, at least your courage is admirable!”

Although his words were polite, the pride and taunt in his tone were so intense they were nearly overflowing.

Compared to Xia Yi’s smugness, Xia Qi’s expression looked extremely grim.

She hadn’t expected that the seemingly gentle and refined young man in white would act so decisively.

He agreed without even consulting her.

This was clearly a case of falling for Xia Yi’s provocation!

Silently cursing in her heart, Xia Qi opened her mouth to say something but ultimately could only close it helplessly.

Because now it’s too late to say anything.

In response to all this, Xue An merely smiled slightly, his eyes glimmering, without saying a word.

Then Xia Yi stood up, bowing to Xia Zheng and the others, ”Uncle, esteemed elders, as everyone just heard this friend’s words, I don’t need to say much more. I’ll retreat first, and we’ll see the outcome in a few days!”

Having said that, he turned to leave.

But just then, Xue An suddenly said casually, ”No need to rush off just yet!”

Hmm?

Everyone was taken aback upon hearing these words.

What’s going on?

What’s he planning to do?

Xia Yi’s expression stiffened, but he quickly sneered, ”What? Having second thoughts? Too bad, it’s already too late!”

”Second thoughts?” Xue An chuckled and shook his head, ”No, you’re mistaken. I just think time is precious, so there’s no need to wait a few days for the outcome!”

Xia Yi’s face turned cold, ”What do you mean by that?”

Xue An ignored him, instead turning his gaze towards Xia Zheng, ”Family Head Xia, I want to ask, how far is it from here to the front line where you border the Zhang Family?”

Although he didn’t know why Xue An asked this, Xia Zheng instinctively replied, ”About two thousand miles!”

”I see,” Xue An nodded, ”Then it shouldn’t be wrong!”

Xia Yi could hardly contain himself and shouted coldly, ”What on earth are you plotting? Why suddenly ask how far it is to the front line?”

Xue An smiled faintly, ”Do you want to know?”

Xia Yi’s face was like water, letting out a cold snort.

”Don’t worry, it should be arriving any moment!” With that, Xue An turned to look out the window.

The hall fell silent once more, and everyone’s eyes followed Xue An’s gaze to the window.

But outside, the night sky was filled with stars, nothing unusual.

Xia Yi, with patience dwindling, waited for a while and, seeing that everything remained unchanged, couldn’t help but reveal a grim smile.

”Such theatrics, much ado about nothing!”

He turned to leave again.

But just then, a streak of red light suddenly appeared on the horizon, rapidly approaching until it hovered above the Xia Family’s grounds. After circling for a while, it plunged towards the open space in front of the banquet hall.

Once it landed, the light scattered, and the scene within became clear to all.

What was thought to be a red light was actually a cultivator covered in blood!

Upon seeing this cultivator, Xia Zheng was suddenly shocked and exclaimed loudly, ”Xia Feng? Why are you here? How did you suddenly return from the front line? And what’s with your injuries?”

A flurry of exclamations shook everyone present.

Indeed.

The person who appeared was Xia Feng, a general of the Xia Family.

Though young, his strength allowed him to guard the frontier.

Upon hearing Xia Zheng’s questions, Xia Feng opened his mouth, but tears came first, washing streaks through the dried blood on his face, before he managed to speak with a trembling voice.

”It’s over! All over!”

”What’s all over? Xia Feng, speak clearly!” The Great Elder, shocked and afraid, rushed forward and urgently asked.

Choking on his sobs, Xia Feng said, ”Just now, the Zhang Family suddenly launched a massive assault on the border. We fought desperately to resist, but they sent ten powerful cultivators, and with such odds against us... the line quickly collapsed!”

These words left everyone in the hall ice-cold.

Xia Zheng wavered, nearly collapsing, but steadied himself to ask, ”What did you say? The Zhang Family actually sent ten powerful cultivators? Weren’t there only three before?”

”Every word is true! It seems the Zhang Family received reinforcements from these powerful cultivators, so...”

”So what?” The Great Elder asked, his voice trembling.

”So the border is lost; the Xia Family’s warriors are either dead or captured. I fought desperately and only managed to escape to deliver the news!”

No one spoke.

Almost all the Xia Family members present stood pale-faced at this news.

The border lost, the Zhang Family dispatched ten powerful cultivators, leading an all-out invasion.

Everyone knew what this meant.

As a result, despair filled all their hearts.

Xia Feng shakily said, ”Family Head, you must make a decision soon; those cultivators from the Zhang Family are simply too strong. We can’t compete with them as we are!”

Xia Zheng pressed his lips together, his face ashen, eyes filled with complex emotions.

Among everyone present, Xia Yi was perhaps the least anxious.

He even felt a flicker of joy upon hearing this news.

Of course, he didn’t dare show it on his face and instead appeared grief-stricken, saying to Xia Zheng, ”Yes, Uncle, Xia Feng is right. We struggled against even three cultivators before, let alone ten now. It’s best to admit defeat early; otherwise, our Xia Family might face ruin!”

Hearing Xia Yi’s words, Xia Zheng was silent for a moment, eventually bowing his head slowly.

Despite the reluctance in his heart, he had to admit that Xia Yi made a valid point.

It had been difficult enough to deal with three powerful cultivators before, let alone now that the opposition had ten.

Given such a disparity in strength, all efforts seemed futile.

For the continuation of the family, Xia Zheng could only reluctantly set aside his pride and quietly nod.

”Pass the order, prepare to sur...”

Seeing his uncle finally bow his head, a hint of joy appeared deep in Xia Yi’s eyes, but before the last word ’render’ could be spoken...

Xue An, standing to the side, suddenly laughed, ”I said there’s no need to wait a few days to see the outcome. Look... the opportunity has already come!”
