Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 616: Chapter 616: Neither Men Nor Women, Never Surrender (4th Update)

Gong Wunian suddenly felt as though her heart had been emptied.

Yet she dared not disobey her master’s words and could only bow her head in silence.

The Lady of Shining Starlight turned her head to glance at her, sighing softly to herself.

She knew from the very beginning that Gong Wunian would react this way.

Because she understood too well the competitive spirit of Gong Wunian.

Such a blow would be far too heavy for her.

...
It was practically destroying all that she had built in the first half of her life.

This filled the Lady of Shining Starlight with sympathy, but remembering the Divine Child, she too remained silent.

At that moment, the Ziwei Divine Child spoke indifferently, “When does the Grand Assembly of Thousands begin?”

“To the Divine Child, it will start in half a month.”

“Good! Prepare for it, I will attend in person.”

“Yes!”

The Ziwei Divine Child slowly ascended the grand observatory platform and said indifferently, “Moreover, has there been any strangeness in this world lately?”

“That… there shouldn’t be,” Fan Dingtian replied, turning to Gong Wunian.

Because currently, Gong Wunian was responsible for many of the specific affairs of the Mountain Sea Sect.

Gong Wunian was just about to take out the Jade Slip.

But the Divine Child, sitting on the spacious chair of the observatory, gestured with a hook of his finger, “Come here, serve me!”

Gong Wunian trembled all over, gazing in shock at the Ziwei Divine Child.

“What’s the matter? Didn’t you hear me?” asked the Ziwei Divine Child indifferently.

Seeing Gong Wunian’s confused expression, Fan Dingtian quickly urged, “Wunian, the Divine Child is summoning you to come forward!”

Gong Wunian snapped out of her haze, then bowed her head and, trembling, stood up to walk toward the observatory.

Fan Dingtian showed a relieved expression.

However, including the Ziwei Divine Child, no one noticed Gong Wunian’s hand tightly clutching the Jade Slip inside her sleeve, abruptly breaking it in half with force.

Everything recorded upon it naturally vanished as well.

She then took a deep breath, lifted her head, and slowly approached the Ziwei Divine Child, who wore a slight, mischievous smile.

Fan Dingtian and the various peak masters slowly receded, quietly disappearing into the darkness.

…………

In the land of the Central Province, its vastness unknown across tens of thousands of miles, countless races lived within it, and the number of Cultivators and nations were as numerous as the stars.

But on the very edge of Central Province, bordering the mountain ranges of the Demon Race, lay a barren land where a very ancient yet disaster-prone kingdom existed.

Ancient Hua Country.

At this moment.

Within the dilapidated capital of Ancient Hua Country, a funeral banquet was being held in the exceedingly humble Imperial Palace banquet hall.

Unlike other banquets filled with laughter and jovial talk, the banquet hall at this moment was utterly silent, all faces filled with grief and solemnity.

Seated at the primary seat was a gaunt-faced, middle-aged man with bloodshot eyes and a weary expression.

He was the Emperor of Ancient Hua Country, Hua Fu!

It should be said that every Emperor of Ancient Hua Country bore this name.

The tradition had reached him through over four hundred generations.

At the moment, Hua Fu stared blankly at the three young men standing before him, his heart filled with a mix of indescribable sentiments.

“Three brave youths, the journey you embark upon is one of extreme peril, with a likelihood of nine deaths to one life. Have you… truly considered this?”

The three men looked at each other, and then the most beautiful youth at the forefront, whose appearance resembled that of a girl, bowed and said,

“Your Majesty, we have indeed considered it! Even if there were no hope of survival at all, we would not allow the noble Hua Clan to be slighted by the other races!”

His words made many of the old officials in the room secretly wipe their eyes.

It had been too long.

So much so, that many could not even recall how many times it had been.

It was always in this banquet hall, the same funeral banquet, the same words spoken.

The difference is that the speaker had never returned.

Nevertheless, no one ever backed down.

Looking at the three spirited young warriors, Hua Fu’s heart ached excruciatingly.

Years of continuous warfare, the oppression by various tribes.

It was already a miracle that Ancient Hua Country had survived this long.

But now, they had reached a point where there was a break in succession.

Initially, renowned middle-aged patriots participated in the Great Assembly of a Thousand Tribes. Gradually, it came to be young people, and finally, almost all were youths.

And now, there were even fewer youths eligible to attend the Great Assembly of a Thousand Tribes.

“You’an, do you… really want to go?” Hua Fu asked, his voice trembling.

The leader among the youths fell silent for a moment, tears glistening in his eyes; yet he took a deep breath and said, “Father Emperor, if I do not go, then our mighty Ancient Hua Country will indeed be stricken off from among the tribes!”

“But… after all, you are a girl!”

Hua Fu finally spoke these words.

In this moment, he was no longer the Emperor of Ancient Hua Country, but a regular father.

Hua You’an shook her head, “In the face of fate, our Hua Clan does not differentiate between men and women; we will never submit to it!”

These words set off a tempest of applause in the banquet hall.

Some elder ministers wept loudly, toasting and choking out, “Magnificent, the children of our Hua Clan!”

But for many more, there was a silent choke of speechlessness.

An elder minister then said with a bitter smile, “But just the other day, Werewolve’s Nation sent a diplomatic letter claiming that if we cannot provide a satisfactory explanation for the deaths of their soldiers from the recent incident, they will not allow the Hua Clan to pass through their territory!”

Many showed somber looks upon hearing these words.

This was something everyone knew.

If it were any other nation it might be negotiable, but Werewolve’s Nation lay on the critical path to the Great Assembly of a Thousand Tribes for Ancient Hua Country.

If they did not permit passage, what were they to do?

At that moment, someone slammed the table in anger, declaring, “Those bastards, their soldiers have repeatedly provoked our Ancient Hua Country, committing all manner of rape and plunder. We have exercised restraint time and again, but they have only grown more insolent. In the end, driven beyond endurance, we annihilated them all. Now they have the audacity to demand an explanation!”

Anger was evident in many faces.

But what could that do?

Ancient Hua Country was like a Giant Dragon cornered, now utterly unable to contend with Werewolve’s Nation.

At this juncture, a soldier in armor walked in carrying a wooden box.

Coming near, the armored soldier kneeled, lifting the wooden box above his head, “Your Majesty, the Left Cavalry General… has taken his own life!”

What!

At these words, everyone abruptly stood up.

Hua Fu turned deathly pale, demanding in shock and anger, “What has happened?”

The armored soldier slowly opened the wooden box, revealing that it unmistakably contained the head of the Left Cavalry General.

He then spoke calmly, “The General said, this… is our explanation for Werewolve’s Nation!”

Hua Fu collapsed in his seat, his expression vacant as he waved his hand. An attendant stepped forward to take the wooden box.

But before anyone could react, the armored soldier drew his sword without hesitation and committed suicide then and there.

The corpse fell to the ground.

The banquet hall was engulfed in dreadful silence.

After a while, soft sobs began to emerge.

Because they all understood that this armored soldier had come thousands of miles just to fulfill his commander’s final request.

Now that his mission was complete, he too followed the valiant spirit of the Left Cavalry General into death.

Hua Fu’s tears cascaded down, yet his face showed a determined resolve, and he raised his cup.

“Today, what they have inflicted upon our Hua Clan, we will etch into our memories! The Hua Clan will never bow down!”

“Yes! The Hua Clan will never bow down!”

Everyone in the banquet hall roared in unison, the brilliant glow in their eyes akin to their ancestors who had fought the world thousands of years before.
