Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 2067: Chapter 2068: Human Emperor’s Envoy

At this moment, guarding the Underground Palace was none other than the first Divine General of the Profound Ming Tomb, Ling Qi.

To be honest, being sent to do this job was something Ling Qi was extremely unwilling to do.

Because in his view, this job was simply an insult to his strength and status.

After all, what’s there to guard in this Underground Palace?

Anyone locked inside can’t come out unless the Tomb Lord gives the word.

So being stationed here is purely a waste of time, any other Divine General would suffice for this task.

But unfortunately, it was an order personally given by Dou Yin’an, so he had no choice but to comply.

Despite this, his heart was still full of resentment.

For instance, right now.

Ling Qi lazily leaned against a recliner, and after carefully wiping his weapon, he stretched and yawned, bored to the extreme.

"How much time has passed already?"

A guard immediately stepped forward and bowed, "Reporting to the Divine General, you have been guarding here for three tomb times!"

Tomb time is a unique unit of time in the Profound Ming Tomb, equivalent to a day on Earth.

Upon hearing that only three tomb times had passed, the helplessness on Ling Qi’s face became even more pronounced, and he sighed softly.

"I really don’t know what the Tomb Lord is thinking, sending me to carry out such a boring task."

The guard dared not make a sound.

Because throughout the Profound Ming Tomb, no one dared to discuss Dou Yin’an behind his back, not even a word.

Only someone as esteemed as Ling Qi, the first Divine General, had the privilege to complain a little.

If this guard dared to do so, his soul would immediately shatter to death.

Despite being full of grievances, since Dou Yin’an ordered it, Ling Qi naturally had to shoulder this responsibility.

So he slowly stood up and started to walk out.

The guards immediately followed closely behind.

Ling Qi stopped and glared back at them, "What are you doing?"

"Naturally, we are following you for patrol, Divine General!"

"Alright, alright, I’m just bored and wandering around the Underground Palace, you don’t have to follow!"

"But...," a guard hesitated, "what if you encounter danger?"

"Danger?" Ling Qi laughed in anger, pointing at the Underground Palace, "What danger could there be here? I said you don’t have to follow, did you hear me?"

With that, this first Divine General of the Profound Ming Tomb leisurely left the guard camp and flew towards the distant Underground Palace.

The guards didn’t dare to follow.

Because everyone knows that the temper of Divine General Ling Qi is volatile, if angered, their lives wouldn’t be safe.

Moreover, just as Ling Qi said, the Underground Palace is as secure as a fortress, absolutely safe from danger.

Thus Ling Qi started patrolling around the Underground Palace alone.

Calling it patrolling was more like wandering.

Ling Qi slowly strolled around the Underground Palace, contemplating who he could get to replace him.

After all, this job was really too boring.

At the same time, Ling Qi quietly cursed Dou Yin’an internally a few times.

In his eyes, his superior was being overly cautious.

The people were already confined in the Underground Palace, as safe as can be, so what’s the point of guarding here?

Could it be they would break out of the Underground Palace?

What a joke!

Just as a mocking look appeared on Ling Qi’s face, thinking Dou Yin’an was worrying for nothing.

A large bulge suddenly appeared on the Underground Palace not far from him and then silently burst open.

This explosion didn’t cause any waves, nor did it catch the attention of the distant guard camp.

Only Ling Qi witnessed the entire process.

It shook him to the core, but as the first Divine General of the Profound Ming Tomb, his reaction was extremely fast.

In an instant, the energy and cultivation level around him surged to their peak, and he took a deep breath, ready to act.

But in just a flick of a finger, the imposing momentum he had just gathered dissipated like smoke.

Because at that moment, a supremely authoritative voice came from behind his neck, chillingly calm.

"Don’t move, and don’t shout, or you’ll have to say goodbye to your head!"

Ling Qi immediately froze in place, not daring to turn around or have any thought of resistance.

Because he could clearly feel a powerful force, appearing calm on the surface but turbulent underneath, was coldly watching him from behind.

This feeling, like a thorn in his back, like a bone stuck in his throat, made cold sweat immediately appear on his forehead.

"I... I won’t move or shout, as long as you spare my life, I am willing to cooperate unconditionally!" Ling Qi surrendered almost instantly.

Xue An, standing behind him, laughed.

He wasn’t surprised by Ling Qi’s reaction.

Because this is the normal reaction of a multiverse strongman when facing danger.

After all, in the eyes of these strongmen, nothing is more important than their own lives.

Like the Hua Clan’s notion of sacrificing oneself for the greater good, they could never understand it.

"Where is Dou Yin’an now?" Xue An asked indifferently.

"He is currently in the banquet hall receiving guests!" Ling Qi replied without hesitation.

"Oh? Receiving guests? What kind of guest could make the Tomb Lord of Profound Ming personally meet?" Xue An raised an eyebrow slightly.

"It’s an envoy from the Emperor’s Palace, but I’m not sure about the specifics!"

Ling Qi answered honestly, sneaking a glance at the ground beside him.

On the ground, a shadow stood tall.

Ling Qi licked his lips, a look of shock appearing in his eyes.

He originally thought there was at least a team behind him, because the presence was too overwhelming.

Powerful enough that it didn’t seem like something one person could emit.

But unbelievably, it was just one man standing behind him.

Is he asking about the Tomb Lord’s whereabouts to do something bad? Will he kill me?

As his heart was in turmoil, Xue An was also slightly taken aback, then revealed a cold smile.

"An envoy from the Emperor’s Palace? Ha, it seems you super sects really are a bunch of colluding scoundrels!"

When he finished, the icy killing intent in Xue An’s words was enough to make one tremble all over.

This made Ling Qi tremble all over, and he begged repeatedly, "Please... don’t kill me! I am willing to cooperate with you in anything, just spare me!"

"Oh? Anything? Are you sure?"

Xue An’s voice came from behind, with a hint of amusement.

Ling Qi nodded without hesitation, "Yes!"

Simultaneously, he gritted his teeth secretly.

No matter how humiliating, as long as I can survive, it’s worth it.

But just the moment he was prepared, a hand suddenly appeared silently on his throat and squeezed tightly.

Under the force capable of crushing a mountain, Ling Qi saw darkness before his eyes, and then he knew nothing.

And just as he was about to fall into eternal darkness, Xue An’s cold voice reached him.

"Sorry, the only thing I want you to cooperate with is your death!"
