Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 2485: Chapter 2486: Son Pays Respects to Adoptive Father

Xue An didn’t deny it, he just raised his brows slightly. "Oh? Why do you say that?"

Lei Butong chuckled. "It’s very simple, because of this Lei Zun in your hand!"

"As the strongest Thunder System existence in this Sky Beyond the Skies, I can say I’m familiar with the way every Lei Zun in this world is formed. Only this Lei Zun in your hand..."

Lei Butong paused for a moment, then continued, "Whether in terms of aura or in terms of the composition of its power, it’s completely different from the Lei Zun of this realm. That’s why I asked you that!"

Xue An remained noncommittal. "That’s all?"

Lei Butong seemed to have long anticipated this reaction from Xue An, so he gave a soft laugh and then spoke a second sentence that shook the heavens.

"And if I’m not mistaken, you should be from the Hua Clan of the Multiverse, right?"

If Xue An could still remain calm in the face of the earlier question, then this one made his pupils shrink at once.

And this reaction of his also confirmed Lei Butong’s guess, and he smiled.

"No need to be surprised. The Array on this frying pan may be Daoist, but it’s obviously different from the Daoist Family of this realm, and instead is very similar to something I once obtained by chance back in the day!"

As he spoke, Lei Butong flipped his hand, and a fragment of tortoise shell appeared in his palm.

"I obtained this thing by accident back then. It’s said to be from the Daoist Family, specifically used to record various secret histories. Naturally, it also contains matters regarding the Multiverse and the Hua Clan of Earth."

Xue An’s expression gradually calmed down, then he took a deep look at this Lei Butong.

In fact, while watching from below the arena, Xue An had already vaguely sensed that there was a peerless powerhouse in the tall building behind the arena.

After seeing Lei Butong, his guess was finally confirmed.

The Lei Zun before him, incarnated from thunder, possessed unfathomable strength; even he himself could not see through his depths.

So Xue An knew very well that if the two of them really fought, the outcome would be a toss-up.

Even if his own chances of victory were a bit higher, it would still be a hard-fought win.

Of course, this was only Xue An’s own estimation.

He was very clear that since Lei Butong was willing to bring him here and candidly tell him all this, it already proved his sincerity.

As for how he knew these things...

For an existence that had traversed tens of thousands of years of time, knowing some secret histories was nothing strange.

Thus Xue An quickly adjusted his mindset and said in a low voice, "That’s right, I am from the Hua Clan of the Multiverse. My name is Xue An."

"So it really is like this!" Lei Butong sighed. "The one who’s stirred up the entire Sky Beyond the Skies recently, even defeating the Shen Family’s two Great Sword Cultivators in succession, that person is you!"

Off to the side, Lei Rong listened with a face full of confusion.

What do they mean?

What is the Hua Clan?

And why did Father bring this young man into the tall building?

Could it be that...

Lei Rong suddenly thought of something, her face flushed red, but then she immediately became very serious in her heart.

No, I absolutely can’t betray Young Master Yang!

With that thought in mind, her expression gradually grew solemn, and she quietly put a little more distance between herself and Xue An.

Just as she was letting her imagination run wild, Lei Butong continued, "Did you already see something was off about that Cui Zhenghao?"

Xue An nodded. "The moment he stepped onto the stage, I noticed a trace of anomaly. I just didn’t expect it to be so serious. It wasn’t until he started fighting your daughter that I suddenly realized it was a case of evil qi invading the body!"

Lei Butong gave a cold laugh. "That’s right, evil qi invading the body! And he even dared set his sights on my daughter. These evil things are really courting death!"

With his identity and status, he naturally knew of the existence of such evil entities.

But Xue An shook his head. "I don’t think it’s as you imagine. Those evil things wouldn’t do something so troublesome and thankless."

"Oh? How so?"

"In my view, that Cui Zhenghao clearly died some time ago, and the evil spirit that entered his body isn’t some high-intelligence evil being, but more like a segment of obsession."

"From this I infer that Cui Zhenghao must have died suddenly for some reason, and right before his death he remained obsessed with your daughter, his attachment extremely deep. That’s what allowed the evil demon to slip in and seize control of his body."

Xue An’s deduction was reasonable and well-founded. After pondering for a moment, Lei Butong couldn’t help but nod.

"Hearing you say it like this, it’s indeed possible. But doesn’t that mean the Cui Family had long known about Cui Zhenghao’s situation?"

"They should have known. After all, Cui Zhenghao is already dead, and what’s controlling him now is merely an evil demon born of his remaining obsession. Those closest to him would definitely be able to see the flaws."

Lei Butong’s expression grew colder and colder, anger surging as he spoke. "Bastards! Knowing full well that their son is dead, yet still letting him run wild, even provoking my daughter. It seems I’ve been far too lenient with these Noble families, to the point they’ve already forgotten what it means to feel awe!"

Xue An said nothing.

These were all internal affairs of the Jidu Starry Domain and had absolutely nothing to do with him.

After a brief moment, Lei Butong raised his head and cupped his hands toward Xue An.

"Little sir, your eyes are as sharp as torches. You’ve reminded me of something. I won’t owe you this favor."

As he spoke, Lei Butong lifted his hand, and the frying pan in Xue An’s grip flew into his own.

Then Lei Butong gave a low shout. "Come out!"

At that command, the Lei Zun who had been hiding inside the frying pan and trembling with fear let out a miserable shriek and was forcibly yanked out.

"With this level of strength, you’re simply too weak!"

Lei Butong sized up this Lei Zun, shook his head, then pressed a finger against its forehead.

Crackle, crackle, crackle!

Violent lightning surged from Lei Butong’s fingertips, pouring into this frying-pan Lei Zun’s body like a mountain torrent and a raging sea.

The frying-pan Lei Zun let out an ear-splitting wail as its body swelled rapidly, and in the blink of an eye it was on the verge of collapse.

But Lei Butong’s infusion still showed no sign of stopping; instead, it grew even more violent.

Under such circumstances, the frying-pan Lei Zun finally exploded with all its potential in a desperate bid to survive.

"Aaaahhhhh!"

Accompanied by its hysterical roar, the frying-pan Lei Zun’s body actually began to shrink.

This was the result of it absorbing and refining the lightning power.

In this way, after the time it takes to burn an incense stick, the frying-pan Lei Zun’s body had shrunk to the size of an ordinary person, and it no longer had that previous sense of hollowness; it appeared much more condensed and real.

Only then did Lei Butong withdraw his finger and let out a long breath.

"Alright! Now this is more like it. Otherwise, wouldn’t you be disgracing my Lei Zun lineage?"

And right at that moment, the frying-pan Lei Zun dropped to his knees with a thud and shouted loudly, "This child pays respects to Adoptive Father!"
