Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 2190: Chapter 2191: City Lord of Bead City, Do You Admit Your Guilt? (First Update)

With those words, an extremely powerful aura suddenly descended before everyone.

As the radiance faded, a middle-aged man with a commanding presence appeared.

Zhang Jinju immediately took a respectful step back and bowed.

"Father!"

Indeed!

The man, who bore an eighty percent resemblance to Zhang Jinju, was none other than Zhang Pengtian, the City Lord of Bead City!

At this moment, he nodded slightly, his expression as deep as water, then turned his gaze to Yue Qinghuan and Xue An.

"Miss Yue, our Bead City has always had a good relationship with your Bing Family, so I hope you won’t get involved in this matter. What do you think?" Zhang Pengtian said coolly.

Yue Qinghuan, hearing this, remained expressionless, only lightly tucking a strand of hair behind her ear, her voice melodious, "I came here just to see if there were any pretty Treasure Beads. I know nothing of the rest!"

Zhang Pengtian’s face instantly lit up with a brilliant smile upon hearing this, "That’s easily arranged. After this matter, you can choose any Treasure Bead you like from my treasury!"

Yue Qinghuan nodded with a faint, enigmatic smile, "Let’s discuss that when the time comes!"

After saying this cryptic line, she glanced at Xue An with indifference and then stepped aside.

Zhang Pengtian and Zhang Jinju, the father and son duo, both let out a long breath of relief at the sight.

What they feared was the involvement of the Bing Family in this matter. Now that Yue Qinghuan had made her stance clear, a weight was lifted from their hearts.

As for Xue An...

Neither Zhang Jinju nor Zhang Pengtian paid him any mind.

In their view, this young man in white was merely at the cultivation level of a Half-step Immortal Venerate. As long as Yue Qinghuan did not interfere, he posed no threat.

However, neither of them noticed the hint of schadenfreude that played across Yue Qinghuan’s face at that moment.

"Young man, I don’t care where you come from, nor your purpose here. Why not make a deal with me?" Zhang Pengtian said calmly.

"Oh? What kind of deal?" Xue An raised an eyebrow slightly.

"You hand over the Blood Pearl in your possession, and I’ll erase this segment of memory from your Divine Sense, allowing you to leave unharmed. How does that sound?" said Zhang Pengtian.

Hearing this proposal, Zhang Jinju was slightly stunned and couldn’t help but whisper, "Father, this...."

Zhang Pengtian waved his hand, signaling his son not to speak, then gazed deeply at Xue An, awaiting his response.

Xue An’s lips gradually curled into a faint, cold smile.

"This proposal makes it seem like I should be grateful to you!"

Zhang Jinju finally couldn’t suppress the anger in his heart, sneering, "Shouldn’t you be? It’s a great mercy from my father to let you live. Shouldn’t you be thankful?"

Xue An ignored him, instead lowering his head to examine the Blood Pearl in his hand.

"I was quite puzzled before about what could drive you to betray the support you’ve relied on for survival. Now, I suddenly understand a bit!"

With that, Xue An abruptly looked up, his eyes narrowing slightly, as he stared at Zhang Pengtian, "All charity is inferior to having everything in one’s own control, wouldn’t you agree?"

Zhang Pengtian’s expression gradually turned grim, his gaze becoming exceedingly cold.

"Absolutely correct. So, is that your answer to me?"

"What if I say yes?"

"Then you shall die!" Zhang Pengtian remarked nonchalantly.

At his command, the entire treasury instantly transformed into a killing ground, the previously gentle brilliance of the Treasure Beads turning into a violent force, rushing towards Xue An.

Yet, confronted with such a formidable strike, Xue An didn’t even flinch, not even changing the smile on his lips. He merely said calmly,

"Haven’t you seen enough already? Do I need to tell you what to do next?"

What does he mean?

Who is he talking to?

Zhang Pengtian was just puzzled when a furious roar echoed from afar.

Crack!

Accompanied by this angry roar, all the Treasure Beads halted in mid-air and swiftly faded, converging toward a certain direction.

Zhang Pengtian’s face changed drastically, his voice trembling with shock, "This... this can’t be!"

"Why not?" As a voice cold as ice questioned, a figure began to materialize where the Treasure Beads gathered.

Upon seeing this ordinary-looking middle-aged man, Zhang Pengtian’s face instantly turned pale, eyes filled with guilt and fear.

The newcomer was the Shadow Turtle Emperor.

At this moment, he still bore the common human disguise.

Yet, his eyes were filled with boundless rage and killing intent.

"Zhang Pengtian, do you realize your crime?"

At this questioning, Zhang Pengtian felt as if struck by lightning, stumbling back several steps.

"I... I...."

For a long time, he failed to utter a complete sentence.

Beside him, Zhang Jinju could no longer hold back, stepping forward to face the Shadow Turtle Emperor directly, speaking in a deep voice, "What kind of being are you to question my father?"

The Shadow Turtle Emperor laughed in anger, "What kind of being am I? In the past, when your father was in dire straits, if not for me, he might have already perished at the hands of his enemies. And now you ask what kind of being am I?"

Zhang Jinju’s whole body trembled, suddenly realizing a possibility as his face changed color.

But unlike his father, Zhang Jinju had been spoiled from a young age, cultivating a reckless demeanor, fearing neither heaven nor earth.

Even after knowing the Shadow Turtle Emperor’s identity now, he still wore a disdainful expression.

"Don’t speak like that. You and we were merely using each other, and without us, your Shadow Turtle Race could not have developed so quickly!"

"Fine! Well said!" the Shadow Turtle Emperor laughed coldly, then fixed his gaze on Zhang Jinju.

"Then since it was mutual use, why did you and your father secretly try to annihilate my Shadow Turtle Race?"

Zhang Jinju was left speechless by the question.

Indeed!

There was no way to smooth things over in this matter.

But soon, a cruel glint appeared in his eyes, and he sneered.

"Blame only your Shadow Turtle Race for being too obstinate, and you being a mere Immortal Venerable level demon beast, daring to occupy the Death Dark Domain for so long was already wrong!"

Saying this, Zhang Jinju slyly glanced at his father beside him.

By this time, Zhang Pengtian’s emotions had calmed down, and he secretly gritted his teeth.

What his son said wasn’t wrong either.

Given the situation, the only way was to kill this Shadow Turtle Emperor and then take control of the entire Shadow Turtle Race and the Death Dark Domain.

Besides, judging from the aura of the Shadow Turtle Emperor, there might indeed be a good chance of success on their side!

With that thought, his gaze also became increasingly fierce.

"Exactly, Shadow Turtle Emperor, I’ve done enough for you over the years, now we owe each other nothing, as for the death of your clan members, it only shows that you couldn’t keep up and are about to be eliminated!"
