Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 2247: Chapter 2248: Witch God Cult Envoys Arrive

At the same time, facing Zhu Zhesheng’s venomous gaze, Zhai Zhuqing retreated uneasily, her heart full of anxiety and unease.

In her opinion, they should never have coveted the immortal sect cave mansion in the first place. However, her father wouldn’t listen and insisted on collaborating with the Wushen Sect, resulting in loss of troops, ultimately leading to the current dilemma.

But now, it’s too late for regrets.

So, what she hoped for most now was to resolve the matter here quickly and hopefully eliminate Zhu Zhesheng completely to prevent future troubles.

Therefore, she stayed hidden among the crowd, quietly observing the progress of the situation.

After reaching a standoff, Yue Qinghuan and Zhu Zhesheng simply sat cross-legged, guarding behind Xue An.

Shu Linger only responded with a cold smile, feeling quite confident.

She had just received a reply, the main forces of the Wushen Sect were heading this way and would likely arrive within a day.

By then, even if Taotie were guarding here, it would be of no avail.

So she relaxed, watching with aloof composure.

The minutes ticked by, the atmosphere growing more and more tense.

The aura emanating from Xue An was still fluctuating like the tides, much like Yue Qinghuan’s current mood.

She knew Shu Linger was waiting for reinforcements, so she could only silently pray in her heart.

Xue An, you must wake up soon!

Yet, the more you hope for something, the more likely things will unfold in the opposite direction.

As soon as a day had passed, a commotion suddenly erupted outside, followed by an aged yet dignified voice.

"The Great Elder of the Wushen Sect is here, where is the Holy Maiden!"

Upon hearing this voice, Shu Linger was overjoyed and immediately shouted, "Great Elder, Linger is here!"

As soon as her voice fell, a mass of green energy burst into the Divine Temple and then condensed into a human form.

The person’s face was ancient, and he stood over two meters tall, with white hair and eyebrows, yet exuding an indescribable aura of authority.

It was none other than Xuan Tongshu, the Great Elder of the Wushen Sect.

Soon after, numerous colorful energy masses poured in behind him, all transforming into human forms, they were all elite members of the Wushen Sect.

In an instant, the great hall became lively.

Seeing this, Shu Linger was overjoyed and immediately stepped forward to greet, "Linger greets Elder Xuan!"

Xuan Tongshu nodded slightly, "Hmm, Holy Maiden, there’s no need for formality, you handled this well. I will naturally inform the Sect Hierarch afterward."

"Thank you, Elder Xuan!"

Although Shu Linger held the title of Holy Maiden in the Wushen Sect, Xuan Tongshu had served under three Sect Hierarchs and possessed unfathomable strength.

There were even rumors that he commanded a protector Wushen, a true manifestation.

All this made Xuan Tongshu second only to the Sect Hierarch within the Wushen Sect.

So even Shu Linger had to treat him with the respect due to a senior.

Xuan Tongshu first looked at the tall deity statue in the center of the hall, then cast his gaze toward Xue An, who was sitting with his back to everyone.

After sensing the fluctuating aura emanating from Xue An, Xuan Tongshu sneered coldly before slowly turning his head to Yue Qinghuan.

"Miss Yue, your Bing Family and our Wushen Sect have always minded our own business, so I hope you can stay out of this matter. If you agree, I promise not to harm you and let you leave freely, how about it?"

Yue Qinghuan naturally recognized Xuan Tongshu. In fact, upon realizing it was him, Yue Qinghuan secretly cursed her luck.

Why did it have to be this old man, now things are really tricky.

Because whether it was cultivation or status, Xuan Tongshu far surpassed her.

But now there was no turning back, she had to brace herself and face him.

"Hehe, so it’s Elder Xuan, I didn’t expect this matter to alarm even you, it seems the Wushen Sect values the Flame God Palace quite a bit!"

Yue Qinghuan said with a light laugh, her eyes twinkling, "Logically, you are my senior, and I should listen to you, but..."

Yue Qinghuan’s smile gradually turned cold, "This immortal sect cave mansion was originally discovered and its inheritance obtained by us, yet your Wushen Sect now insists that I stay out of it. Do you think that’s possible?"

At these words, Xuan Tongshu’s eyes narrowed slightly.

"Oh? So, Miss Yue, you refuse?"

"Of course I refuse! Just because you say so, we have to give up the opportunity to you? There is no such easy thing in the world!"

"Indeed! Moreover, this immortal sect cave mansion is a secret guarded by my Zhu Family for generations, and you extracted it from me using despicable means. Now you want us to leave, that’s absolutely impossible!" Zhu Zhesheng also shouted.

"Very well!" Xuan Tongshu didn’t get angry, merely nodded, then pointed at Xue An’s back.

"Miss Yue, I want to know who this man is to you?"

"A friend!"

"Just a friend?"

"Isn’t that enough?"

Xuan Tongshu scrutinized Xue An’s back with curiosity.

With his discerning gaze, he could easily tell that Xue An’s current power was only at the half-step Immortal Venerate.

Such cultivation in this Sky Beyond the Skies, though not commonplace, was certainly not outstanding.

Yet Yue Qinghuan’s attitude of constantly defending him and the loyal Taotie guarding Xue An’s side added an air of mystery to Xue An.

But as Yue Qinghuan said, the Wushen Sect was determined to claim the Flame God Palace.

Otherwise, Xuan Tongshu wouldn’t have personally led a team after receiving Shu Linger’s call for help.

Therefore, regardless of who this person was, Xuan Tongshu was not ready to let him go today.

"Since that’s the case, it seems there’s no room for negotiation. Miss Yue, I hope you won’t hold a grudge against this old man after you get hurt. After all... you brought this upon yourself!"

Upon saying this, Xuan Tongshu stepped forward, heading straight for Xue An.

His speed was so fast that a gust of wind swept through the great hall.

Yue Qinghuan shouted, "This path is blocked, roll back!"

With her words, she formed a fist and struck out.

This punch was forthright and powerful, precisely the most renowned Soldier Killing Fist of the Yue Clan.

But just halfway through Yue Qinghuan’s punch, without seeing Xuan Tongshu make any move, an invisible force suddenly bombarded her, directly blasting her away and crashing into the altar.

"Miss Yue!"

Zhu Zhesheng cried out in alarm, then rushed forward with bloodshot eyes, intending to fight Xuan Tongshu to the death.

But with his measly strength, how could he possibly reach Xuan Tongshu?

With just a flick, Zhu Zhesheng was sent flying backward, smashing the altar’s offering table, and collapsed silently.

After effortlessly disposing of the two, Xuan Tongshu continued forward.

But as soon as he stepped into Xue An’s vicinity, the silent Taotie suddenly shouted coldly, "Get out!"
