Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 1563: Chapter 1560: Xia Family Crisis (First Update)

Xia Qi was silent for a moment after hearing this, then softly said, "Sir, I think you might not know the current rules of the Dark Lost Paradise."

"Rules? What rules?" Xue An asked with keen interest.

"It’s simple. The true Dark Lost Paradise only opens once every ten years, and by then, not only do you need great strength, but you also need connections and various relationships to enter!"

"Oh? I hadn’t heard of that before!" Xue An said indifferently.

Xia Qi gave a wry smile, "Of course, you haven’t heard of it. In fact, this rule hasn’t been in place for very long because, in recent years, more and more people have flocked to the Dark Lost Paradise. Originally, it had no threshold, but it has become like this now!"

Speaking of this, Xia Qi’s expression became solemn, "And our Xia Family happens to have an entry spot into the Lost Paradise."

"So as long as you agree to become a Guest Elder of our Xia Family, we will spare no effort to help you enter the Lost Paradise!"

Having said that, Xia Qi looked at Xue An, feeling very nervous inside.

Xue An’s eyes flashed with an inexplicable light after listening, then he said with a half-smile, "Sounds pretty good, but what exactly do you want me to do for you? After all, just a Guest Elder isn’t worth such a big price from you, right!"

Xia Qi remained silent for a while after hearing Xue An’s words and ultimately gave a bitter smile, "Sir, since you’re asking, I’ll tell you the truth! Our Xia Family’s situation is... very difficult right now."

Through Xia Qi’s awkward explanation that followed, Xue An finally understood what was happening.

Where there are people, there will be conflicts, and even more so in such a dark place, where competition between various forces has become white-hot.

Every day countless clans or families vanish into history, only to be replaced by new forces that rise over their corpses.

This cruel cycle of conflict repeats endlessly, like a reincarnation.

The Xia Family, where Xia Qi belongs, is no exception, and because of Wuwang Cliff’s critical location, the struggle here is even bloodier than in other cities.

For the Xia Family to have a foothold in such a place naturally speaks to its exceptional attributes.

In fact, the Xia Family has long held onto the position of being among the top ten forces at Wuwang Cliff.

This is also why Xia Qi was previously so proud of her family.

But recently, the situation suddenly changed.

The Xia Family’s arch-enemy, the Zhang Family, which was originally on equal footing in terms of strength, somehow recruited several cultivators of exceptionally high Cultivation Level.

Under these circumstances, the originally fragile balance was instantly broken, and the Zhang Family’s power began to rapidly expand.

First to bear the brunt was the Xia Family, whose territory borders closely with the Zhang Family.

At first, the Xia Family didn’t pay it much mind; after all, it wasn’t their first time fighting with the Zhang Family.

But this time, everyone in the Xia Family got it wrong.

Led by these cultivators, the Zhang Family almost steamrolled through the Xia Family’s defenses.

The Xia Family was stunned at the time; by the time they reacted, they had already lost half of their original territory in the blink of an eye.

In this situation, the Xia Family immediately mobilized all its forces to counterattack.

But alas, under the powerful suppression of those cultivators, these counterattacks almost all failed.

Then came the Xia Family’s darkest hour.

Without effective means to curb those cultivators, the Xia Family was retreating step by step.

Finally, they could only barely hold their ground by desperately piling resources and fighting for their lives.

By this time, the Xia Family’s strength was severely damaged; never mind counterattacking, they could barely maintain from being completely overrun.

This is why Xia Qi was entrusted with the urgent mission to seek help beyond the Dark Frontier.

Yet, she returned empty-handed with no choice but to come back.

Until she met Xue An, who, by himself, slew a dragon; only then did the despairing Xia Qi see a glimmer of hope.

So she was so eager to invite Xue An to become a Guest Elder of the Xia Family.

The goal is simple.

It is to bolster the family’s strength to resist the aggressive Zhang Family.

After listening to Xia Qi’s narrative, Xue An remained silent, quietly watching her.

Xia Qi became more and more nervous under his gaze, murmuring softly, "Sir, you... ."

Xue An waved his hand to interrupt her, "I have a question; given the situation, why did you still want to invite me to your Xia Family before I displayed any strength? What’s your intention?"

Hearing Xue An’s question, Xia Qi blushed deeply and stammered, "Because... because."

Then Xia Qi bit her lip hard and resolved to say, "Because at that time, I saw that you were generous in action and had an extraordinary demeanor, so I instinctively wanted to invite you to my house!"

"After all, even though our Xia Family’s strength is damaged, we’re still a formidable force within Wuwang Cliff!"

Xue An deeply looked at Xia Qi and then nodded, "In that case... it makes sense!"

Upon hearing this, Xia Qi let out a long breath, only then realizing her back was drenched in cold sweat.

Of course, she wouldn’t say her true inner thoughts, because, for a girl, it was really too hard to articulate.

"Would you be willing to?" Xia Qi asked cautiously.

"Let’s not discuss this for now; to be honest, I’m very curious about what kind of cultivators could force you into this situation!" Xue An asked with interest.

Upon hearing this, Xia Qi’s expression changed constantly, and after a long time, she struggled to say, "I don’t know how to describe it to you, but these cultivators are absolutely not like regular cultivators because..."

Xia Qi’s eyes filled with hesitation and fear, "because the strength they displayed was simply terrifying. From start to finish, they didn’t use any fancy moves; relying solely on their sheer bodily strength, they made everyone in our Xia Family unable to lift their heads!"

"Oh?" Upon hearing this, Xue An slightly raised his eyebrows, "Bodily strength?"

Xia Qi took a deep breath, "That’s right, I saw with my own eyes a near Great Luo level expert who couldn’t withstand a single move from these cultivators, directly being severely injured and almost dying on the spot! And this so-called move was just a single punch!"

After finishing, Xia Qi sneakily glanced at Xue An.

In truth, she didn’t know if saying this was right or wrong.

If following common sense, she should avoid such topics as much as possible.

Because such news is too shocking, a normal person only needs to weigh pros and cons to understand how to choose.

But in the end, Xia Qi decided not to hide any details.

Because if she were to deceive Xue An into joining the Xia Family, Xia Qi knew she couldn’t live with herself.

At this time, Xue An lowered his head, becoming silent.

Xia Qi’s heart also gradually sank to the bottom of the valley.
