Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 2437: Chapter 2438: Corruption of the Evil Entity

The rest of the group waited outside, chattering away as they questioned how Lv Feichen had managed to awaken, completely ignoring the Grand Priest who had just entered.

After all, in their view, it was perfectly normal for the abbot to have some matters to discuss with the Grand Priest.

Only Zheng Qing showed a hint of surprise and suspicion, his gaze occasionally drifting towards the hall, as if pondering something.

At that moment, Lv Feichen approached with a smile, "Elder Zheng Qing, what are you looking at?"

"Oh, nothing much. I just feel a bit dazed, probably because I’ve been overworked lately,"

Zheng Qing quickly masked the surprise in his eyes and replied with a smile.

"Oh? Is that so? Elder Zheng Qing, you should rest more. Fortunately, everything is settled now; after today there’s nothing to worry about!"

As he spoke, Lv Feichen took a step forward attentively, seemingly intending to check on Zheng Qing’s condition.

Zheng Qing discreetly retreated a step, "Thank you for your concern, Feichen. I also think that resting more will help!"

Lv Feichen wanted to say something further, but at that moment, Lü Xiuming approached.

Annoyed by Lv Feichen’s previous attentiveness towards Zheng Qing, he spoke in a stern voice.

"Feichen, since people don’t want to engage with us, you should speak less!"

As he spoke, he grabbed Lv Feichen’s hand and led him away.

Lv Feichen paused, a trace of murderous intent flashing in his eyes, but it faded quickly, after which he nodded slightly at Zheng Qing.

"In that case, I’ll take my leave first, Feichen."

With that, the two of them departed.

But Zheng Qing’s mind was in turmoil.

Because although others might not have noticed, he observed everything clearly.

Especially the murderous intent in Lv Feichen’s eyes when Lü Xiuming grabbed his hand.

What’s going on?

Why does Lv Feichen seem odd after waking up?

What’s the deal with that murderous intent?

Isn’t he supposed to have a good relationship with Lü Xiuming?

These doubts plagued him, but what puzzled him most was Lv Feichen’s attitude towards him.

It’s known that his status within the True Martial sect isn’t high, and he’s almost marginalized.

If it weren’t for the current abbot Lü Zhongxuan noticing him, he likely would have gone unnoticed.

Previously, Lv Feichen was a proud figure, always maintaining a surface level of respect but never being this attentive.

What’s the reason for all this?

Zheng Qing sensed a connection pointing towards something but couldn’t quite grasp it.

At that moment, the hall’s door was pushed open again, and the Grand Priest Lü Qixian emerged, full of confidence.

"The abbot has ordered all elders to enter the hall for crucial discussions!"

"Yes!"

The elders, suspecting nothing, bowed and began walking towards the hall.

Except Zheng Qing, who hesitated at the end.

Though the familiar hall was in view, a voice inside him cautioned not to enter, or death would be certain!

At that moment, the Grand Priest Lü Qixian turned his head toward him.

"What’s wrong, Elder Zheng Qing? The abbot has ordered, hurry inside!"

Zheng Qing shivered, then bowed deeply, replying softly, "Yes!"

Lü Qixian nodded, suspecting nothing, and turned to enter the hall.

But he didn’t notice the immense fear in Zheng Qing’s eyes.

Because when Lü Qixian called him, he made a significant slip.

The previous Lü Qixian would call him Zheng Qing, but never attached ’Elder’ afterward.

Couple this with Lv Feichen’s odd behavior today, all of it deeply shocked him.

What’s truly going on?

What was inside the hall that caused such fear in him?

As they neared the hall entrance, Zheng Qing’s terror felt overwhelming.

At that moment, an elder beside him couldn’t help but ask, "Zheng Qing, what’s wrong today? You look terrible, are you sick?"

Despite their cultivation levels rarely resulting in illness, getting sick would be extremely dangerous, potentially life-threatening.

This too is an unavoidable calamity on the path of cultivation.

Zheng Qing’s heart skipped, then he weakly nodded.

"I do feel unwell, maybe I shouldn’t go inside, I’ll wait outside for a while."

The elder concernedly asked, "Shall I take you back first?"

"That works too!"

They turned just to leave.

But at that moment, there was a sudden loud crash from the hall behind them.

The crash shook Fu Niu Mountain.

"What on earth is that?" Somebody gasped in horror behind him.

Zheng Qing turned sharply and saw the shocking scene.

The entire hall had collapsed, and within it stood a monstrous entity, its body entangled in black threads.

This gigantic creature hovered in the air, seemingly examining the crowd with an amused gaze.

Zheng Qing was shocked to the core, instinctively sidestepping.

A black thread passed right through the very spot he’d just occupied.

But others weren’t as fortunate.

In a series of muffled thumps, the black threads emerged from all angles, piercing through the bodies of everyone present.

The elder who had just spoken to Zheng Qing and kindly offered to take him back also met a tragic fate, a thread piercing through his chest and dragging him into the air.

In an instant, the elders became prey dangling in the air, faces contorted in agony.

Yet no one uttered a sound because when they opened their mouths, black blood flowed out wildly, quickly solidifying into clusters of black Mandala flowers.

Zheng Qing felt his scalp tingling, every hair standing.

The scene before him was horrifying—the sinister entity central to it resembled a demonic tree from hell, and the elders its fruit-laden branches.

At that moment, the monstrous head slowly turned, looking at Zheng Qing, as the dark mist began to clear, revealing a familiar yet eerie face.

"How does it look, isn’t it beautiful?"

Boom!

Zheng Qing felt his blood rush to his head, crying out.

"Abbot!"

Then his heart plummeted.

Though he had suspected earlier, seeing Lü Zhongxuan’s face left him in deep fury.

Indeed, Lü Zhongxuan was a mediocre and incompetent abbot but kind to him, and tried fulfilling the abbot’s duties.

Yet he was now harmed by the evil entity. How could Zheng Qing not be pained?

"Hahaha, Zheng Qing, your abbot is dead. Now, I am your master! Considering your keen intuition, if you hadn’t tried to run away just now, I wouldn’t have revealed my true self so quickly. Now kneel and surrender, and I can grant you eternal life!"
