Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 1396: Chapter 1393: In My Eyes, There Are No Big Shots! (Third Update)

Cracks appeared all over Luo Jingting’s body, ghost energy seeping out as if her body was on the verge of collapsing.

But just then, the Buddhist Seal between her brows suddenly glowed with a radiant light, acting as an adhesive, piecing her disintegrating body back together.

Jin Jue let out a soft sigh and shouted in a deep voice, ”You foolish child, are you still not awake?!”

That rebuke landed like a lion’s roar, exploding in Luo Jingting’s ears. Her entire body trembled, and she finally started regaining clarity.

Then, she burst into tears, wailing as she sobbed, ”Why... why are you and the Luo Family so cruel?!”

Xue An calmly said, ”You’re wrong! This matter isn’t something the Luo Family could have done on their own!”

At this point, Xue An raised his eyes to look at Luo Li. ”If I’m not mistaken, there’s someone supporting your Luo Family from behind, isn’t there? Let me guess—could it be an influential figure from the depths of the Ghost Realm?”

”Who exactly are you? How do you know so much?” Luo Li asked in a bitter voice.

”Me?” Xue An smiled lightly. ”I am Xue An!”

Luo Li had never heard of Xue An’s name before, but at this moment, she had gradually recovered from her initial shock. Taking a deep breath, she slowly said, ”Since you know there are powerful figures from the depths of the Ghost Realm involved, why are you interfering? Aren’t you afraid you’ll end up obliterated?”

”Are you threatening me?” Xue An asked with a faint smile.

”This is not a threat, merely stating a fact!” Luo Li responded seriously.

”Because those standing behind me are existences you cannot possibly imagine. If you don’t want trouble, I advise you to withdraw now. Otherwise...”

”Otherwise what?”

”Otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable!”

Once again, the entire scene fell silent, leaving only Luo Jingting’s soft sobbing.

Watching Xue An’s silent demeanor, many in the Ghost Race revealed expressions of relief.

Although they were unaware of the full situation, as outsiders to the Ghost Race, they instinctively felt implicated as well.

If Xue An truly annihilated the Luo Family and rescued this once-dominant Plane Master.

The catastrophe that awaited them would be beyond comprehension.

Hence, if he backed down now, it would surely be the best outcome.

”I’m genuinely curious—just how powerful are the figures you speak of!” Xue An chuckled softly and said slowly.

”An existence you can’t fathom! Ghost Emperor level!” Luo Li declared proudly.

Ghost Emperor!

The title struck fear in many hearts.

To them, a Ghost Emperor was already an existence they could only look up to in awe.

As for those even higher, at the Palace Master Level, such beings were rare within the Ghost Realm and completely beyond their reach.

Xue An’s response was a light chuckle. ”Ghost Emperor level, huh...”

”That’s right! Xue, if you leave now, I’m willing to let bygones be bygones. How about that?”

Luo Li was now fully collected, intent on scaring off this white-robed youth. She planned to report the situation afterward and have higher powers deal with Xue An.

Yet, even as her calculations fell into place, Xue An paid no heed to her ploy.

He simply spoke in an unhurried tone, ”What if I refuse to leave?”

”You...” Luo Li’s brows furrowed, just as she was about to respond.

Xue An waved his hand dismissively. ”Enough. Stop bringing up your so-called mighty figures to intimidate me! Because in my eyes, in the current Ghost Realm, there are no mighty figures worth mentioning!”

Those words were outrageously bold, causing many around to scowl and glare at Xue An in displeasure.

Luo Li sneered, letting out a laugh. ”Xue, your strength may be decent, but boasting like that—aren’t you afraid of biting off more than you can chew?”

Xue An chuckled lightly. ”Apologies, I misspoke just now!”

What? He was apologizing?

Luo Li’s stern expression slightly eased.

But Xue An continued, ”Allow me to correct myself—right now in the Ghost Realm, I’m the only one who qualifies as a mighty figure!”

With this pronouncement, the crowd erupted in shock.

Bai Xi and Zong Cheng, two inseparable companions, exchanged amused glances, delight evident in their eyes.

Luo Li scoffed, opening her mouth to mock him again.

But suddenly, all sounds disappeared. Everyone—including Luo Li—froze, staring dazedly at Xue An.

In that moment, a small, pristine white flame hovered before Xue An, gently flickering in the air.

Though it was a mere tiny flame, it caused the temperature in the entire space to rise dramatically.

Yet Luo Li’s heart felt as if it had plummeted into an icy abyss, bone-chillingly cold.

Because at that very second, they all collectively remembered a terrifying legend.

A legend on par with the now-extinct Nether Monarch.

Xue An stood with his hands behind his back, his voice calm as he asked, ”Now... are you convinced?”

”D-Divine Fire Ghost Sovereign?” Luo Li, finally wrenching herself out of utter shock, stammered fearfully.

Xue An nodded lightly, offering a faint smile. ”It seems my name hasn’t completely faded. The fact that you still remember reassures me!”

No one dared to speak.

Many in the Ghost Race were already trembling uncontrollably.

It wasn’t just the all-encompassing suppression from that small flame but the sheer terror invoked by Xue An’s presence itself.

Luo Li collapsed to the ground with a thud, her teeth chattering audibly.

She recalled Xue An’s earlier words.

Indeed!

In his presence, aside from the departed Nether Monarch, who else in the Ghost Realm could dare to call themselves a mighty figure?

But why had an existence like this appeared here?

These thoughts clashed chaotically in Luo Li’s mind, turning her face pale as her expression flickered unpredictably.

Xue An’s gaze shifted from her to finally rest on Jin Jue, who had been reciting scripture with his eyes closed. Leisurely, Xue An said, ”Alright, stop chanting. Do you now understand where you went wrong?”

Jin Jue ceased his chant, slowly opened his eyes, and calmly looked at Xue An.

”What are you staring at? I asked if you know your mistake,” Xue An asked with a smile, though his eyes gleamed coldly.

Under the question, Jin Jue slowly shook his head. ”This humble monk believes I have committed no wrong!”

Hiss!

Many around audibly gasped.

How audacious could this monk be!

To dare defy the Divine Fire Ghost Sovereign to his face—was he seeking death?

Xue An’s expression grew momentarily curious before he asked, intrigued, ”No wrong at all?”

”Correct. This humble monk has done no wrong.”

”You allowed yourself to be used by the Luo Family, instructing Luo Jingting in Buddhist arts, which were then turned against a besieged Plane Master. And this... you call no wrong?” Xue An’s expression turned colder as his smile vanished.

Jin Jue remained silent for a moment before softly replying, ”Perhaps, in your eyes, this was wrong. But to this humble monk, the matter of right and wrong is irrelevant.”
