Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 1294: Chapter 1291: Interrogation in the Secret Room (First Update)

As the door closed, the vast secret chamber suddenly became gloomy and terrifying.

Sheng Miaotong stood alone in the center of the room, facing a large cluster of seats that extended upwards in a staircase formation.

The senior members of the Sheng Family were all sitting there, coldly staring at her.

This silent atmosphere made the air extremely oppressive.

Sheng Miaotong lowered her eyes and stood silently.

After a long while.

The elder seated in the central position gave a slight nod to Sheng Yihua.

Only then did Sheng Yihua turn his head to look at Sheng Miaotong and said in a deep voice, ”Speak, what exactly happened?”

Despite the Sheng Family members having already learned about that day’s events through various channels, Sheng Miaotong’s account was still crucial as a witness who had seen the whole process unfold.

Without looking up, Sheng Miaotong remained silent for a moment before she began to narrate the chain of events in a very calm tone.

The silence in the secret chamber was terrifying, filled only by the slow flow of Sheng Miaotong’s voice.

When it was mentioned that Sheng Miaotong first encountered Xue An outside the small city and was so curious about him that she recklessly pursued him,

There was a slight stir among the crowd.

And the sharp-tongued old lady sitting next to the central seat even snorted coldly from her nostrils.

Unaffected by this, Sheng Miaotong continued to describe the events objectively and calmly.

Her account went from the entanglement within the small city to the teahouse in the town in front of the Golden Cauldron Pavilion; up to the point where Sheng Manyu and Lu Shifa made their appearance, openly ridiculing Xue An.

Finally, the old lady could not restrain herself and snapped coldly, ”Nonsense, my grandson has always been gentle and humble, how could he be so arrogant? It’s laughable how you, a shameless little girl, would actually take the initiative to entice a man!”

Although her voice was not loud, everyone present were powerful cultivators and heard her clearly.

Many shifted in discomfort, especially a few young men and women seated in the corner, whose faces betrayed a sense of schadenfreude.

They were also descendants of the Sheng Family but had never been as favored as Sheng Manyu and Sheng Miaotong.

Otherwise, they would not have been the only two sent to Golden Cauldron Pavilion for further study.

But they had not expected such a scandal to occur.

Sheng Manyu was dead, and now Sheng Miaotong seemed to have fallen out of favor with the family.

This turn of events naturally pleased these few Sheng family offspring.

Sheng Miaotong stopped speaking and remained still, not lifting her head.

A trace of sorrow flashed in the eyes of Sheng Yihua, as her father, he had always adored his youngest daughter.

If it were anyone else who dared to speak like this, he would not hesitate to silence them forever.

Unfortunately, even he would not dare provoke the old lady due to her status.

Meanwhile, the majestic old man just smiled faintly, ”Xiaocui, after so many years, you still have such a violent temper! Why can’t you let her finish speaking?”

Lu Xiaocui, sitting next to him, retorted, ”Sheng Shuyun, spare me your nonsense. I have a volatile temper? The Lu Family has many descendants, but only two are from the legitimate branch. Shifa is my favorite among them, but now he has died under unclear circumstances. Yet, you’re telling me to be calm and plan wisely. Are you scared?”

Many people from the Sheng Family changed their expressions upon hearing this, because this elder was none other than Sheng Yihua’s father, Sheng Shuyun, the former family head who had led the Sheng Family for five hundred years, turning it into the leading clan.

Lu Xiaocui’s disrespectful remarks naturally caused many to look askance.

Sheng Shuyun’s smile remained unchanged, but beneath his gray eyebrows, his eyes gradually became colder. ”Lu Xiaocui, it sounds like no one from my Sheng Family has died. Let’s not even mention Shui Jing; even Manyu was the pride of our Sheng Family, and yet, didn’t she also end up dead?”

”That’s different, can women be compared to men? Besides...” Lu Xiaocui, brimming with murderous intent, cast a glance at Sheng Miaotong, ”If it weren’t for the trouble this crazy girl stirred up, would my grandson have died?”

The atmosphere suddenly became deadlocked.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Sheng Miaotong, who had been silent with her head lowered, actually lifted her head. She seemed oblivious to the quarrel and continued to recount what had happened.

Soon, she spoke of the great battle.

Despite her subdued tone, the ferocity of the battle was evident between the lines.

Especially when she mentioned how Xue An first beheaded Fu Guang, then annihilated Xiu Wen, and casually slaughtered Shui Jing, Ci Yun, Sheng Manyu, Lu Shifa, and others.

A low murmur swept through the crowd.

Many people began murmuring to each other in hushed voices.

Sheng Shuyun waved his hand, and the entire hall quieted down instantly.

Then he quietly looked at his granddaughter and coldly said, ”Since in your words, this Xue An is so formidable, how did you manage to come back unscathed?”

This question drew all eyes in the hall to Sheng Miaotong in an instant.

Sheng Miaotong was silent for a moment before she softly said, ”Because he is not a man who kills the innocent!”

Boom!

The crowd was in an uproar once again.

Many faces took on an extremely odd expression.

That’s because, judging by the tone of Sheng Miaotong, she seemed to hold great admiration for this man who had a deadly feud with the Sheng Family.

Sheng Shuyun could not help but frown slightly, ”Oh? Why would you say that?”

Sheng Miaotong took a deep breath, then raised her head to look at all the high-ranking members of the Sheng Family, and said in a cold voice, ”There is no reason. Although I know it’s hard for everyone to accept what I say, I still want to say it!”

”If possible, never become his enemy, for that would lead us into an abyss from which there is no redemption!”

If the previous statement had caused an uproar, now there was dead silence.

Many people looked at Sheng Miaotong with flickering eyes, especially the young members of the Sheng Family, who almost wished to laugh out loud three times.

Has Sheng Miaotong gone out once and suffered some shock to her brain, turning her into a fool?

To say such things in front of so many from the Sheng Family and the Lu Family.

Doesn’t she know that as two Great Clans among the seven Grand Domains, their status and position do not allow them to overlook such a great enmity?

Otherwise, their power and influence would plummet overnight.

After all, power that is not feared is no longer power.

As expected.

Whether it was Sheng Shuyun or Lu Xiaocui, their expressions instantly turned extremely ugly.

Especially Lu Xiaocui, who by nature was arrogant and, being in actual control of the Lu Family, had grown extremely domineering over the years from living in luxury and comfort.

The death of her grandson had filled her with a deep-seated hatred for Xue An, so she naturally found Sheng Miaotong’s words to be extremely grating and unbearable.

Thus, she started laughing viciously, ”Good, very good, ’an abyss from which there is no redemption!’ I would really like to know what kind of benefits this man has given you, that you admire him to such an extent? Or is it... that you are already his woman?”
