Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 1238: Chapter 1235: Out of the Tiger’s Den, Into the Dragon’s Pool (2nd Update)

By the tenth day, looking out from the Divine Temple, the sky in the distance was already obscured by a dense crowd of people.

The combined might of the powerhouses from all directions was enough to change the color of heaven and earth.

Such a scene naturally filled the people of the Yan Family within the Divine Temple with fear and trepidation, even plunging them into a very awkward predicament.

To leave, none of them dared to not go out.

To wait, yet they did not know how long they would have to wait here.

Amidst such a dilemma, a strange and indescribable tension pervaded among the Yan Family.

Many of Yan Family’s elite and ordinary disciples were all willing to wait here for the return of Yan Meishu.

After all, Yan Meishu’s previous performance was impeccable, enough to prove her strength as the young mistress of the Yan Family.

But Yan Mengtao thought otherwise; she now understood that Xue An was no ordinary man, and definitely not someone she could approach.

And if Yan Meishu were truly to take over the Yan Family in the future, one could only imagine what her own situation would be.

With this thought, she had more than once instigated her father to lead the Yan Family away from this place.

For instance, at this moment, Yan Mengtao spoke in a low voice: ”Father, it has already been ten days, yet Mr. Xue and Yan Meishu have still not returned! But the time left for our Yan Family is running short!”

The current Yan Yang was lost in confusion, waking up from sleep from time to time in a panic.

Because he was now deeply regretting his decisions.

More than once he had thought, if only he had always listened to his eldest daughter, how good would it be now!

With a backer like Xue An, wouldn’t the Yan Family be able to traverse Lihen Heaven with ease in the future?

And he himself would become an influential figure whose words were law, revered by all.

Unfortunately, there was no medicine for regret in the world, and Yan Yang could only be helpless.

Now, when he heard Yan Mengtao’s words, he couldn’t help but frown slightly, ”What do you mean by that?”

”Father, don’t you see the situation outside? The number of powers and powerhouses gathering outside is increasing more and more, and the entire Lihen City has been alerted, even forces from afar are rushing here!”

”So what? Even if they come, won’t they still fear Mr. Xue’s displayed strength and not dare to cross the Thunder Pond by half a step?”

Hearing this, Yan Mengtao let out a cold laugh, ”Heh, Father, how can you be so muddled? Indeed, Mr. Xue is powerful beyond measure, able to suppress everyone with his strength. But the question is, when will he return?”

”Hm?” Yan Yang was taken aback by her words.

Yan Mengtao continued, ”Mr. Xue has taken Yan Meishu away, saying he would teach her a Cultivation Technique. But have you thought about it? Is cultivation that simple? Even if Mr. Xue’s Cultivation Level is astonishing, Yan Meishu may have extraordinary talent, but learning a new Cultivation Technique also needs time, right? To even reach the threshold, it would take at least a decade!”

”And in ten years, have you considered what could happen?”

”What could happen?” Yan Yang asked blankly.

Looking out the window at the crowding figures in the distance, Yan Mengtao spoke icily: ”Right now, these people still fear Mr. Xue’s strength and dare not come over! But deterrence only lasts for so long, and as time passes, will these people still wait obediently? Moreover, the number of powerhouses gathering here is increasing by the day! By the end, if all the powerhouses of Lihen Heaven arrive here, by then, even if our Mr. Xue returns, what can be done?”

”You mean...” Yan Yang’s voice trembled slightly as he spoke.

”That’s right, even ants in large numbers can kill an elephant! And considering the abundance of powerful individuals in Lihen Heaven, if they were all to actually come together, the momentum they would create... I think even Mr. Xue would have to retreat!”

”Then what you’re suggesting is...” Yan Yang’s face grew paler upon hearing his daughter’s words.

”My point is simple, the longer we stay here, the worse it is for our Yan Family, because no one can guarantee when Mr. Xue will return. Ten years is just my estimation. What if he takes Yan Meishu and leaves this realm, never to return? Then wouldn’t our Yan Family be even more unlucky?” Yan Mengtao said with a cold laugh.

”So, we might as well take advantage of the current situation and reach out to external powers, choose a strong ally. After all, we have an advantage that others do not, which is the astronomical wealth inside the Lihen Temple!”

When cooperation was mentioned, Yan Yang’s face twitched, his eyes revealing a look of horror, obviously recalling the cooperation with Blood Tiger Tower. He couldn’t help but say, ”But if it turns out to be like with Blood Tiger Tower again, won’t we have escaped the tiger’s den only to enter the dragon’s pool?”

”Father, are we supposed to just wait here for death? Besides, even if Mr. Xue returns soon, do you really think my elder sister will forgive you for what you’ve done to her? Once she speaks up, I’m afraid your position as Family Head will be finished!”

Yan Mengtao’s words hit right at the heart of Yan Yang’s worst fears, which had been plaguing him for the past few days.

”Risk is inherent in such matters, but don’t worry, Father. As long as we plan well this time, we certainly won’t be deceived like before!” Yan Mengtao, with her persuasive and seductive voice, said.

Yan Yang pondered for a long while, finally resolving himself and standing up. ”Good! Mengtao is right, waiting here is death, it’s better to go out and try!”

Yan Mengtao was delighted, ”Father’s wisdom is truly remarkable!”

With this resolution, the father and daughter prepared to lead their people out of the Divine Temple.

But at that moment, an awkward incident occurred.

Apart from the two of them, almost all members of the Yan Family were unwilling to leave.

They repeatedly expressed their desire to wait for the return of the eldest miss.

This only intensified Yan Yang’s feeling of panic and insecurity.

Yan Meishu had not yet returned, but his own authority was already close to being undermined. What would become of him upon her return, a mere figurehead?

With this thought, Yan Yang finally displayed the ruthlessness befitting a Family Head, with a slap sending several elders who had come forward to persuade him flying, then he spoke in a chilling tone.

”I am the Family Head of the Yan Family. When I say we leave now, we leave now. I’d like to see who dares to disobey!”

At this, the room fell silent.

The people of the Yan Family all stared dumbfounded at their Family Head, their eyes filled with disdain and disgust.

After all, the Yan Family’s current situation was largely due to Yan Yang’s own actions.

If he hadn’t trusted Blood Tiger Tower, how could things have come to this?

But helplessly, as the Family Head of the Yan Family, Yan Yang did indeed have the power of life and death over everyone.

Despite their reluctance, they had no choice but to obey, thus bowed their heads in silence.

Yan Yang then revealed a smug smile, ”Listen, waiting here is futile because Mr. Xue might not come back. For the survival of our Yan Family, we must leave this place as soon as possible, understood?”

The room fell silent, no one responding.

But Yan Yang took it as acquiescence and nodded in satisfaction, then turned to Yan Mengtao and said, ”Daughter, what do you think?”

Naturally, Yan Mengtao was also pleased, ”Father is remarkable indeed, let’s not delay any longer and depart now!”

But just at that moment, a light laughter echoed through the void. ”Who said I wouldn’t be coming back?”
