Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 1266: Chapter 1263: Daoist True Person (Second Update)

Xue An quietly observed the two white Soul-Cleaving Lamps, only withdrawing his gaze after a while.

To Xing Yuhe, he held considerable respect.

After all, no matter when it is, those who adhere to the beliefs in their hearts and maintain their resolve to the end are deserving of respect.

What’s more, he has protected this small town for more than a decade and has never bowed before Demon Ghosts, whose power far exceeds his own. From this point of view, he has enough qualification to be honored as a True Person.

Of course, this True Person does not refer to the cultivated state within the realm of cultivation, but rather is a term of respect within the Daoist Family for those with firm Daoist hearts and profound Daoist skills.

Thinking of this, Xue An couldn’t help but become increasingly curious about Xing Yuhe’s sect.

The Daoist Family Seven Grotto-Heavens, Jade Cauldron Pavilion...

They all sound quite interesting!

Xue An pondered in his heart.

Meanwhile, Xing Yushu and others were kneeling on the ground, crying as if their lives depended on it.

In the midst of this chaos, Zeng Jialiang, Jin Haorang, and Baili Shaoguang, who had just regained consciousness with a still very pale complexion, exchanged glances and then simultaneously began to carefully move their feet, trying to walk to a distant place.

The process was very slow and did not make any sound at all.

For the three of them, as long as they could move beyond a certain range, they were confident they could escape to safety.

But just as they had moved a few hundred steps and were about to reach the goal in their hearts,

they heard Xue An sigh lightly, ”Do you really think... the three of you can still get away?”

All three of them shuddered, then turned around very stiffly with forced smiles on their faces.

”My... my lord, we were just...” The one speaking was Baili Shaoguang, whose last vestiges of confidence had been shattered by just one glance from Xue An.

Her eyes were filled with deep reverence.

Xue An, however, was too lazy to listen, casually gesturing to cut off her words, then he said indifferently: ”Or do you think I will let the three of you go?”

Even a fool could sense the bone-chilling coldness in these words.

Moreover, the three of them were not fools, quite the opposite, they were each outstanding figures who stirred up the winds and clouds.

Therefore, upon hearing Xue An’s words, they shuddered all over, and their faces showed panic.

They knew nothing about Xue An.

But the strength demonstrated by this young man in white had already exceeded anything they could imagine.

To know that even existences like the Tree Demon Ghost King were beings they could only look up to,

and yet, they turned to ash under two punches from Xue An.

This overwhelming disparity in strength caused them not to dare to even breathe heavily, only to look at Xue An with despair, hoping for his mercy to spare their lives.

Xue An had seen this kind of look all too often and had even become somewhat immune to it.

Therefore, he just smiled and then casually asked, ”Are you all from Jing Country?”

”Yes! All three of us are nobles of Jing Country!” Zeng Jialiang honestly answered.

Xue An’s gaze flickered slightly, ”Then what’s this about the National Cult that Xing Yuhe mentioned just now?”

If previously the three were filled with terror and despair, now they were practically on the verge of tears.

”The National Cult is the most newly established cult of Jing Country! But this matter really has nothing to do with us! We only heard that this Elder Xing possessed supreme fortunes, thus we harbored greed and wanted to plunder it, we beg for your forgiveness, my lord!” It was Jin Haorang, who hailed from a merchant family, who reacted the calmest, making his plea for mercy quite coherent and clear.

Xue An responded noncommittally to this, softly muttering, ”Demon Sect, National Cult... heh heh!”

The smile on Xue An’s face grew colder, then he lifted his eyes to look at the three people who were silent as cicadas in winter and said indifferently, ”Speak, how do you wish to die?”

At his words, the momentum around Xue An suddenly swelled.

The three let out stifled groans, unable to bear the weight and knelt to the ground, then cried out in fearful unease, ”My lord, we are willing to be your oxen and horses, just please spare our lives!”

”Exactly, as long as you are willing to spare us, my lord, we are willing to do anything!”

Zeng Jialiang and Jin Haorang started to beg for mercy, trying to outdo each other.

Only Baili Shaoguang, trembling all over and with eyes filled with terror, was already beyond speech.

Upon hearing this, Xue An’s eyebrows raised slightly, and then he spoke with interest, ”Oh? As long as I let you go, you’ll be willing to do anything?”

”Yes, yes, yes! As long as you, my lord, are willing to let us go, we are ready to pay any price!”

Seeing Xue An’s tone soften, Zeng Jialiang and Jin Haorang were even more eager in their pleas.

A smile began to form on the corner of Xue An’s mouth, ”Well then, your crimes aren’t worthy of death, so I shall not kill you!”

Upon hearing this, Zeng Jialiang and Jin Haorang secretly sighed with relief, then shouted with immense joy.

”Thank you, my lord!”

”Thank you, my lord, for sparing our lives!”

Xue An shook his head, ”Don’t be so quick to thank me! Although I’ve spared you from death, you cannot escape punishment for your crimes while alive!”

Punishment while alive...

These words sent a chill through Zeng Jialiang and the other, their expressions turning extremely fearful.

”My... my lord, what is ’punishment while alive’?” Jin Haorang asked with difficulty.

A flash of light in Xue An’s eyes, he spoke with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile, ”What is ’punishment while alive’?... You’ll find out very soon!”

With that said, a vast and boundless Divine Sense expanded, enveloping the two of them within it.

In the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the light gradually dissipated, and looking at Zeng Jialiang and Jin Haorang then, their faces were filled with bewilderment and emptiness, mindlessly kneeling there like two petrified statues.

Witnessing this scene, Baili Shaoguang finally began to tremble uncontrollably, and the look she gave Xue An was now filled with fear as if facing a venomous snake.

Xue An spoke faintly, ”Do you see what I am doing?”

Baili Shaoguang nodded, and then with a voice filled with unparalleled terror, she said, ”You... you’ve transformed their souls!”

Xue An was slightly taken aback, finding the term ’soul transformation’ quite apt to describe the refinement by Divine Sense.

”Have you seen it before?” Xue An asked with a slight raise of his brows, indifferently.

Baili Shaoguang hesitated for a moment, then spoke with trembling fear, ”The lords of the Demon Sect sometimes use this method to control their subordinates!”

A barely discernible cold glint flashed through Xue An’s eyes, but it quickly returned to normal as he spoke with a detached tone, ”Do you know why I didn’t transform your soul?”

Baili Shaoguang shuddered all over, shaking her head in ignorance.

Xue An smiled, ”It’s because someone has left bait on you, and if I were to refine you directly, they would soon realize it!”

Baili Shaoguang’s face showed a look of cluelessness, unaware of these matters.

But at this point, Xue An shook his head with a hint of mock in his voice, ”It’s a pity, thinking to set a trap with such a low level of skill, still too naive!”
