Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 2530: Chapter 2531: Trailed Here

Walking along the long street that had grown much quieter, the cold wind blowing in his face made Xue An calm down a little.

The blood and qi that had been boiling at the thought of reaping evil entities slowly settled as well.

Xue An knew very clearly what he was going to do, and what consequences it might bring.

But he did not hesitate in the slightest.

Because compared to dragging out the black hand hiding behind the curtain, these so‑called evil entities were nothing more than a bunch of small fry.

To avoid them getting in the way at the Bai Family Conference, these people had to be removed.

Of course, by ”removed,” Xue An did not mean wiped out completely, but rather, like Bao Huarong or that Sect Hierarch of the Witch God Cult, controlled if possible, and if truly uncontrollable, then replaced with an external incarnation.

It was like playing a game: before you kill the final boss, you always have to clear out the mobs around it first.

Of course, the timing of the move was also extremely important.

If it was too early, these evil entities would become wary, and if you destroyed the old ones and they sent in new ones, wouldn’t all your previous efforts be wasted?

Too late wouldn’t work either; if you were too late, it was easy to miss the window of opportunity.

Only this moment right now was the best time.

The Bai Family Conference was about to convene, everything was already set; if he suddenly struck now, even if the evil entities noticed, it would already be too late for them to make any new arrangements.

That was why Xue An resolutely prepared to act.

Soon, following the aura on that letter, Xue An arrived before a secluded courtyard.

This courtyard was located in a corner of Yunxiao City and looked utterly ordinary from the outside.

But when Xue An stood before the gate, he felt a faint pain between his brows.

That was his own Divine Sense being agitated by the billowing, sky‑piercing evil qi coiling within the small courtyard.

Xue An let out a slight, cold laugh, then drew in a deep breath.

In an instant, his entire bearing underwent an earth‑shaking change.

The traits that belonged to Xue An were perfectly hidden away, replaced by Bao Huarong’s aura.

It felt as if he had turned into a completely different person in a flash.

Then Xue An didn’t even knock; he simply strode forward, as if passing through a layer of thin mist, and walked straight through the courtyard gate, disappearing from sight.

Just as his front foot stepped in and his back foot vanished, a figure slowly emerged from the shadows at the corner of the alley.

This person wore a black robe, with only a single elegant eye exposed.

And beneath that voluminous black robe, half of her body was bare, gleaming white bone.

It was none other than that descendant of the Ghost Nation, the last surviving girl of the corpse‑driving clan.

At this moment, she was staring, face full of doubt, in the direction where Xue An had vanished.

She had seen everything that had just happened.

Precisely because of that, she had begun to doubt this ”Bao Huarong’s” identity.

After all, that scene of his entire aura changing as if he’d been reborn—she had witnessed it with her own eyes.

Who exactly was this person?

What was he here at this courtyard to do?

These questions circled endlessly in the corpse‑driving girl’s mind, leaving her hesitant.

Strictly speaking, she had followed Xue An here today intending to make another assassination attempt.

The failed assassination in the restaurant last time had left this corpse‑driving girl seething with rage.

All of her clansmen had died at the hands of evil entities, and she herself had been grievously wounded, so her hatred for evil entities was carved into her bones.

And the evil qi on Bao Huarong was so blatant that of course she couldn’t possibly let him go.

In fact, ever since that failed assassination, she hadn’t gone anywhere else. She had simply gone to ground, staying hidden and focusing all her attention on the small courtyard where Gale Stronghold was staying, waiting for the next chance to strike.

That was why she had not shown herself at all during this period.

But strangely, this Bao Huarong seemed to sense something lately and had been hiding inside the courtyard, refusing to show himself.

Seeing the Bai Family Conference about to begin, the corpse‑driving girl grew anxious, even considering just forcing her way in to kill him.

And it was at that moment that Xue An appeared.

When she saw that familiar figure, the corpse‑driving girl was overjoyed and immediately tailed him, waiting for a chance to strike.

But along the way, Xue An moved so quickly that she never found a suitable opportunity.

And once they arrived at this small courtyard, the corpse‑driving girl suddenly felt puzzled.

She was sure she hadn’t seen wrong—when he was standing at the gate just now, this guy had indeed undergone a tremendous change.

This made the corpse‑driving girl, who had been ready to rush up directly, waver.

The key was that she also made a horrifying discovery: all her attempts to peer into this courtyard were completely useless.

Her Divine Sense couldn’t even penetrate the courtyard walls.

Just then, another figure suddenly appeared at the far end of the alley and came running this way in a hurry.

The corpse‑driving girl clenched her teeth, then flickered and slipped back into the shadows.

At the same time, that figure had already rushed up close; it was the woman from Gale Stronghold.

She stood there, panting heavily, looking left and right for a moment before finally locking her gaze on this courtyard.

Then she trembled as she walked forward and reached out to knock on the door ring.

Pa pa pa!

The dull knocking echoed through the alley.

The corpse‑driving girl hiding in the corner narrowed her pupils. What was she trying to do?

Faced with this inscrutable, ominous courtyard, she actually just walked up and knocked?

But just then, the courtyard gate creaked open.

The woman clearly jumped in fright, instinctively hopping back a step.

But when she saw who had opened the door, her face lit up with joy.

”Ol... Stronghold Master!”

From the corpse‑driving girl’s angle, she could just make out the scene inside the gate.

She saw Bao Huarong, who had just gone in, standing perfectly straight inside the courtyard entrance, without the slightest hint of anything amiss.

Yet for some reason, the corpse‑driving girl still felt that something was off.

”What are you doing here?” Bao Huarong said indifferently.

”I... I saw you leave the courtyard, Stronghold Master, and suddenly felt uneasy, so I followed you!” The woman lowered her head, speaking timidly.

Her pitiful, delicate look would stir anyone’s protective instincts.

But Bao Huarong was completely unmoved.

”Leave at once. This isn’t a place you can come to.”

The woman shuddered in fright and hurriedly nodded. ”Yes!”

But she still mustered her courage and asked, ”Stronghold Master, when... when will you come back?”

What answered her was the bang of the door slamming shut.

The woman stared blankly, stunned where she stood.

Meanwhile, the corpse‑driving girl hidden in the shadows of the corner suddenly felt a chill run through her entire body.

Because she finally understood why she had felt that something was off earlier.

When this Bao Huarong spoke, neither his eyes nor his body showed any reaction at all, and even his tone was as if it had been pre‑set in advance, without any fluctuation a living person should have.

This dead, lifeless feeling was all too familiar to a corpse‑driving girl who dealt with corpses every day.

Could it be that the one who opened the door wasn’t even alive?
