Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 2489: Chapter 2490: Speaking Lightly of Life and Death, Heir of the Ghost Nation

Xue An’s arrival was evidently for this purpose, otherwise he wouldn’t have gone to such lengths to come into the Sky Beyond the Skies.

Even if I were to confront him now, it wouldn’t have much effect. It would be better to hide in the shadows and investigate the matter.

With this thought in mind, the young man decided to seek in secret with Xiao Tian, and soon locked his target onto the evil creatures.

Thus, the master and servant pursued all the way, stepping into the territory of the Yin and Yang Clan, ultimately discovering that these evil creatures had transformed into human forms and were deeply hidden, seemingly planning a shocking conspiracy.

This was the past.

At this moment, the young man, or Yangjian, looked directly at Xiao Tian and whispered.

"Xiao Tian, no matter what, I hope you don’t speak lightly of life and death, because after experiencing so many things, the Hua Clan’s deities are now just the two of us!"

"I don’t want you to abandon your life because of some worthless evil creatures, understand?"

"I understand!" Xiao Tian nodded heavily.

Yangjian smiled lightly, then lowered his head to pour tea.

But at that moment, Xiao Tian suddenly caught a scent, his expression changed, and he turned to look out the window.

Outside the window was a bustling street, crowded with people and activity.

"Master, something’s happening!"

Yangjian immediately turned to look out the window.

In the midst of the thronging street, someone was approaching.

This person was entirely shrouded in a large black robe, making it impossible to see their face.

This in itself was not unusual, considering Yunxiao City was now gathering sects from all over the world.

Naturally, there were cultivators practicing strange techniques among them.

So nowadays, the clothing on the streets was extremely diverse, and a black robe didn’t reveal much.

The key was the peculiar scent Xiao Tian picked up.

It’s important to know that Xiao Tian was originally a celestial hound, and having weathered many storms over the years, his strength greatly increased, enhancing his sense of smell significantly.

It was due to this talent that Yangjian could successfully identify so many hidden evil creatures among the crowd.

And evidently, this person in the black robe was likely an evil creature.

At this thought, the master and servant exchanged glances and stood up in unison.

"Master, you’d better rest here. It’s just an evil creature, leave it to me!"

Yangjian shook his head, "Since this evil creature dares to appear openly on the street, they clearly have some status. I want to interrogate them personally!"

"Well, alright then!" Xiao Tian dared not persuade further, knowing it would be useless.

The master and servant went straight downstairs, blending into the crowd, following the robed figure from a distance.

After walking down the street for a while, the robed person suddenly turned into a narrow alley off the road.

Yangjian and Xiao Tian immediately followed, but as they reached the depths of the alley, Yangjian raised his hand to halt Xiao Tian.

"Don’t go any further!"

"What’s wrong?" Xiao Tian asked, slightly surprised.

The robed figure then came to a halt in the depths of the alley.

As he appeared, the entire alley gradually became shrouded in dark mist, with numerous figures faintly surrounding Yangjian and Xiao Tian.

Xiao Tian’s expression tightened, stepping forward to shield Yangjian.

"Master...."

"It’s alright!" Yangjian chuckled lightly, then gazed into the distance at the robed figure.

"So you already knew!"

The robed figure hadn’t expected those tailing him to be such a handsome young man, but soon spoke in a sinister voice.

"Who are you? Why are you following me?"

"Heh, don’t you know what you are? You ask why we’re following you?" Xiao Tian sneered.

"I don’t know what you’re talking about, but if you dare follow me, you’ll pay the price!"

As he spoke, the robed figure’s hand trembled slightly, a copper bell rang, and the shadows hidden in the darkness revealed themselves.

It turned out to be a group of corpses dressed in black, floating off the ground, with talisman spells on their foreheads.

Seeing this, Yangjian’s eyes flashed, he blurted out, "Hold on!"

But he spoke a bit too late, as the corpses transformed into streams of dark light, darting towards the master and servant.

With a roar, Xiao Tian’s form suddenly expanded, transforming into a three-meter-tall beast, and with a wave, engaged these attacking corpses.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Amidst the sounds of metal clashing, Xiao Tian’s proud claws proved ineffective against these corpses, even sparking upon contact.

"What the hell are these things? Iron-clad corpses?" Xiao Tian shouted angrily.

Yangjian’s eyes flashed, and he said in a deep voice, "Corpse-Driving Technique? Are you a descendant of the Ghost Nation?"

At his shout, the corpses suddenly retreated, the robed figure spoke with a surprised tone.

"You actually know of the Ghost Nation?"

Yangjian smiled wryly, "Of course we know!"

He then briefly explained the situation, without divulging his origin, claiming they were there to hunt down evil demons.

Coincidentally, the robed person was a descendant of the Ghost Nation, and their aura was similar to that of the evil creatures, leading to this misunderstanding.

After he finished explaining, the robed person fell silent.

Yangjian assumed the man didn’t believe him and smiled wryly, "This truly is a misunderstanding, I...."

Before he could finish, the robed man coldly interjected, "What you’re chasing is not evil demons, but evil creatures!"

At these words, Yangjian was startled.

"You...."

Evidently, he hadn’t expected the robed person to see through his purpose so immediately.

"Are you curious how I know?" the robed person inquired.

Yangjian nodded.

Simultaneously, the robed person suddenly lifted their robes, allowing them to fall, revealing the figure beneath.

The subsequent scene, even for the well-traveled Yangjian and Xiao Tian, was astonishing.

What they saw was a stunning young maiden standing charmingly in the scene, yet the feeling was not of beauty, but extreme eeriness.

Because this maiden had been split in half, one side was a celestial visage of seductive charm, the other half was bare bone.

This enormous contrast, abruptly fused together, naturally made one’s heart chill upon first glance.

"I won’t hide it. I am indeed a descendant of the Ghost Nation, and the last surviving heir of the corpse-driving lineage!"

"The last surviving heir?" Yangjian was startled.

"That’s right!"

Upon reaching this point, the tears spilled from the beautiful eye of the maiden.

"My clansmen have all been killed by evil creatures!"

"Even I was infected by the evil energy, though I controlled it timely, barely saving my life, but ended up in this neither human nor ghost form!"
