Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 2775: Chapter 2776: Trapping Prey in a Jar

It was nighttime, and apart from the dim rainbow light triggered by the operation of Spiritual Energy, the sky was pitch black without a trace of brightness.

Shuman Na and Shuman Qing easily entered Dragon Tiger Mountain, then followed the winding path upwards, finally arriving before the mountain gate of Dragon Tiger Stronghold.

At this moment, the Dragon Tiger Stronghold was exceedingly quiet; apart from the scattered lights, most of the houses were dark.

Looking inward from the mountain gate, the road was also empty, eerily quiet.

”Strange, why do the people of Dragon Tiger Stronghold go to rest so early?” Shuman Qing murmured softly, a hint of suspicion in her eyes.

”Oh, maybe they’re just exhausted from a day of rushing around, so they went to rest early. Didn’t you see the main meeting hall in the center is still lit?” Shuman Na said.

Shuman Qing looked in the direction her sister pointed.

Indeed.

The main meeting hall at the center of Dragon Tiger Stronghold was brightly lit, and there were faint shadows moving inside, clearly indicating people were discussing matters.

Seeing this, Shuman Qing couldn’t help but lower her guard.

Looks like she was overly worried.

How could this bunch of fools at Dragon Tiger Stronghold possibly guess that the two of them would return?

”Let’s go!” Shuman Qing whispered.

Then the two transformed into intangible shadows, silently sneaking into Dragon Tiger Stronghold.

At first, Shuman Qing was a bit nervous, after all, it was too quiet around; those darkened houses felt like tombs, chilling her heart.

But after walking for a while, Shuman Qing didn’t find anything unusual.

No traps, no ambushes, not even a blockade.

Seeing this, Shuman Qing couldn’t help but laugh at herself for being overly cautious and suspicious.

If that young man were not involved, what waves could a mere Dragon Tiger Stronghold make?

Thinking this, she boldly sneaked to the front of the meeting hall, then leaned close to the window base, peeking inside secretly.

Actually, with their current strength, they could easily use Divine Sense from afar to probe everything inside the hall.

But the impression left by Xue An was too profound, especially the near-invincible pressure of his Divine Sense, which left them with lingering fear every time they thought of it.

Under such circumstances, they preferred to take some risks and go see for themselves rather than probe with Divine Sense.

Inside the window was an exceedingly spacious hall, brightly lit like daylight.

And in the middle of the hall was a huge round table, cups and plates arranged in abundance with various exquisite delicacies, clearly hosting a banquet.

And the pale-faced young man seated at the head was none other than Xue An.

Seated beside him, in order, were Ren Ning, Sheng Hongqian, Niu Dali, and others.

At this moment, after several rounds of drinks, everyone was already somewhat intoxicated, their voices louder.

Zhang Xiaoqiang slurred, ”Young Master Xue, I, old Zhang, have never admired anyone this much in my life, but towards you, I have nothing but endless admiration. I never thought you would manage to tame those two bitches, Shuman Na and Shuman Qing! No more words, let me toast you!”

With that, Zhang Xiaoqiang raised his cup and drank it down.

Xue An, seated at the head, smiled slightly, ”Deputy Stronghold Leader, you’re too kind, I merely acted by chance.”

”Oh, Young Master Xue, you’re too modest!” Niu Dali chimed in and raised his cup.

”We brothers aren’t blind; we saw everything that happened. Setting aside everything else, just your ability to intimidate the two women and scare them away with serious injuries is worthy of our admiration! Come, let me toast you as well!”

With that, he drank his cup in one go.

Outside the window, Shuman Na and Shuman Qing exchanged a glance.

Their guess was right.

This Xue is indeed seriously injured.

Thinking of this, Shuman Na started to stir, planning to leap inside and kill Xue An with one strike.

Shuman Qing subtly shook her head, signaling her to be patient.

Shuman Na was a bit confused, but out of trust for her sister, she suppressed the impulse.

Meanwhile, the atmosphere inside the house grew increasingly lively, amidst a clatter of toasting and flattery, a woman’s laughter asked.

”How is Young Master’s injury?”

It was Sheng Hongqian who asked, looking at Xue An with a face full of concern.

Xue An laughed openly.

”No worries, though temporarily losing combat capability, I’ll be back to normal in no more than one night!”

Shuman Na was shocked, immediately turning to look at her sister.

After all, he said it himself that he’d recover in just one night; if they don’t act soon, they could really miss the chance.

However, Shuman Qing still showed no intent to act.

Meanwhile, Sheng Hongqian playfully said, ”Indeed, Young Master is formidable, recovering from such severe injuries in just one night—by then, even if Shuman Na and the others realize it, they could do nothing!”

”Just afraid they might sneak back tonight!” Niu Dali suddenly frowned.

His words caused the lively atmosphere inside the house to choke, worry appearing on many faces.

This was met with a mere calm smile from Xue An.

”Don’t worry, even if they come back, they won’t dare enter the stronghold recklessly, for from the outside, Dragon Tiger Stronghold appears eerily quiet, like a deserted city! Such a situation is abnormal at first glance!”

”And the two of them are like frightened birds now; faced with such a scene, they’d definitely hesitate, wasting a bit of time, and by dawn, it’ll be too late for them to enter anyway!”

Upon hearing this, everyone marveled.

”Young Master indeed has unrivaled insight, no wonder you had the stronghold emptied beforehand—it was to set this ruse!”

”Young Master is a genius, come, let me toast you again!”

Flattery was incessant.

Outside the window, Shuman Na and Shuman Qing were nearly bursting with rage.

Such a great plan, such superb scheming!

The key was that he almost succeeded completely.

If they hadn’t risked entering, wouldn’t they have been completely fooled?

Thinking of this, the two exchanged a glance, no longer holding back, and with a flash, they jumped through the window inside.

Their sudden appearance startled everyone inside.

Shuman Qing sneered repeatedly.

”Great plan, great strategy! But you didn’t expect us sisters to dare come back, did you?”

Faced with her questioning, everyone present was initially stunned, then their faces showed panic.

”Sister, why waste words with these people? Just kill them!”

Shuman Na said fiercely, then thrust her sword straight at the seated Xue An.

The sword light passed through without any hindrance, piercing directly through.

Then Xue An’s face showed a hint of mockery, and gradually dissipated into wisps of smoke.

”Not good, it’s an ambush!”

Originally confident, Shuman Qing felt her scalp explode, shouted in shock, and wanted to flee.
