Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 601: Chapter 601 Pearl Cast Into Shadow (5th Update)

Blood spattered, brains flowed.

Yuchi Xing’s deformed face still bore the fear and confusion of his last moments, seemingly unable to understand why he had died.

Then, the corpse slowly fell to the ground.

Upon witnessing this scene, a deadly silence enveloped the crowd.

No one spoke. Or rather, no one dared to speak.

Many minds were even in a state of shutdown, unable to comprehend how the mighty Second Elder of the Puppet Immortal Sect could fail to withstand a single palm strike from this Hua Clan man devoid of any cultivation level.

It was at this moment, someone bellowed angrily, “How dare you kill the Second Elder of my Puppet Immortal Sect, who the hell are you?”

As he spoke, a figure instantly appeared above the plaza.

It was none other than Cang Yayun, the Sect Leader of the Puppet Immortal Sect.

At this moment, Cang Yayun’s face was ashen, her eyes brimming with murderous intent.

Although Yuchi Xing’s final actions were indeed contemptible, he was after all the Second Elder of the Puppet Immortal Sect.

Yet, he was slapped to death in front of so many people, which was akin to a slap in her own face, naturally enraging Cang Yayun.

With her fury, an incredibly powerful aura began to rampage across the plaza, furrowing deep grooves into the ground wherever it passed.

Seeing this aura from a distance, Wan Chengyi’s body trembled, and his expression gradually grew solemn, “This aura… This Cang Yayun has clearly reached the Half-step True Immortal!”

Half-step True Immortal!

This term left Shan Ruoling gaping in disbelief.

Because this title implied that Cang Yayun was one of the most powerful cultivators in the entire Central Province.

Even Wan Chengyi, whom Shan Ruoling revered like a deity, the protector of the Garan Sect, was only at the Golden Immortal Peak at the moment.

Although only a step away from a Half-step True Immortal, that single step was akin to a chasm that had stopped countless brilliant talents over millions of years.

And for everyone else, the look of horror on their faces was unmistakable.

However, confronting this overwhelming aura, Xue An appeared indifferent, as if unaffected, casually folding his arms as he watched.

“Is this your True Immortal Power? As the Sect Leader of the Puppet Sect, the rule you’ve comprehended is the Power of Wind. Should I praise you for daring to cross boundaries, or should I scold you for not focusing on your proper duties? Or…”

“Is it because you knew you had no hope of advancing and had to resort to this?”

Xue An’s words shook Cang Yayun to her core; she stared at Xue An in disbelief and asked, “Who… who exactly are you? How do you know so much?”

Xue An smiled faintly, “Didn’t Miss KekKe already say? I am her friend and senior.”

Of course, Cang Yayun didn’t believe Xue An’s words; she stared at him with suspicion, trying to discern some clues.

But in the end, she was disappointed.

For no matter how she looked at him, this Xue An was just an ordinary Hua Clan man, not showing the slightest hint of cultivation.

But could that be possible?

Could a man without any cultivation level truly crush the Half-step Golden Immortal Yuchi Xing with a single palm?

Even if this Yuchi Xing was negligent in his duties, relying on an ancient puppet to barely break through to Half-step Golden Immortal, he was still a Half-step Golden Immortal!

Moreover, Xue An saw through the Rule Power she wielded at a glance and even extended it, effortlessly deducing the true nature of the facts.

Certainly, this was not something an ordinary person could do.

As Cang Yayun pondered, Xue An glanced at Liu KekKe and smiled slightly.

“Well done!”

Liu KekKe bowed respectfully, “It’s all thanks to the guidance of the senior!”

Xue An shook his head, “I only gave you a push at the crucial moment; the rest all came from your own talent and effort!”

Liu Kekke’s cheeks turned slightly red, feeling somewhat embarrassed by the praise.

But Xue An said indifferently, “Don’t be embarrassed; this is simply the truth! With your talent, you should have achieved something long ago. The reason you haven’t is entirely because this so-called Puppet Immortal Sect is actually misleading its disciples—trampling on the very name of puppetry.”

As soon as these words were said,

Many disciples of the Puppet Sect showed angry expressions on their faces.

As for Cang Yayun, her face was as dark as water, “It’s not for outsiders to comment on what the Puppet Immortal Sect is like! As for you, killing our Sect’s Second Elder, there must be an account settled today!”

“An account?” Xue An chuckled, then his gaze grew colder.

“Indulging your subordinates to do whatever they please, even knowing this person insulted fellow disciples, yet you turn a blind eye and a deaf ear—is this the account you want?”

Cang Yayun’s face turned pale, “You…”

She wanted to say more, but Xue An stepped forward, continuing coldly, “Showing favoritism, harsh to those with talent and ability merely because they are not to your liking, yet being very tolerant towards flatterers who bully others—is this the account you want?”

Cang Yayun’s face grew paler, and her lips began to tremble uncontrollably.

“Witnessing this person committing violence in public, trying to kill an innocent fellow disciple without intervention—yet being the first to jump out after this person was killed—is this the account you want?”

This series of questions made Cang Yayun tremble slightly, her face full of rage, and a growing intent to kill in her eyes.

This was, after all, a public questioning in front of many high-ranking members of various sects!

If she didn’t retort, her reputation would be completely ruined.

But Xue An was not yet finished; he stood with his hands behind his back and shook his head slightly.

“These things actually don’t matter at all!”

Huh?

Listening to Xue An’s devastating retorts, Shan Ruoling couldn’t help but be stunned.

What did that mean?

After all that questioning, it didn’t matter?

Even Cang Yayun was slightly puzzled, not knowing what Xue An really meant.

At this time, Xue An looked up at the Black Giant Tower standing atop the mountain peak, saying lightly, “Do you know what your biggest mistake is?”

Cang Yayun subconsciously asked, “What?”

“Not researching the ultimate power of puppetry but instead focusing on seclusion and cultivation! That is your greatest error!”

Cang Yayun felt as if struck by lightning, her muscles stiffening.

Xue An continued, “Haven’t you noticed that your so-called Puppet Immortal Sect has been treating puppetry as merely an auxiliary method in battle?”

Cang Yayun hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

Because what Xue An said was indeed true.

In the current Puppet Immortal Sect, the stronger one’s power, the less important the role of the puppet in battle, to the point where it had been relegated to a mere auxiliary method.

Cang Yayun was the most representative example of this.

She couldn’t even remember how long it had been since she summoned a puppet for combat.

“But this is not our intention; it’s just that the combat power of the puppets is too low! They simply cannot compete with other sects!” Cang Yayun said.

Unconsciously, she had begun to treat Xue An as an equal for discussion, even deliberately ignoring the matter of avenging Wei Chi Xing.

Xue An shook his head with a light sigh, “Do you know what casting pearls before swine means? You are a living example!”

After saying that, Xue An pointed to the Black Giant Tower, saying lightly, “Today, I will let you witness what true puppetry and alchemists… should be like!”
