Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 2727: Chapter 2728: This Is Perverse

She timed her movement perfectly, rushing forward just as the stone attack ceased.

But before her dagger could pierce Xu Gaotian’s clothes, an immensely powerful pressure exploded from Xu Gaotian’s body.

Qie Weilan didn’t even let out a grunt as she was hurled away by the sudden pressure.

Simultaneously, Xu Gaotian roared in fury, "Who is it? Who dares to strike me with Rule Power? Who?"

It’s known that with his current strength, he could obliterate mere stones with a breath.

Yet he couldn’t muster an ounce of resistance against this rain of stones; no matter how he activated his Protective Spell, these stones continued to leisurely pierce through and strike him viciously.

This situation had only one explanation: these stones were clearly no ordinary stones, but mysterious objects imbued with Rule Power.

But the issue was, even in this world, such items were exceedingly rare. Who would use such a thing against him?

Despite his fury, Xu Gaotian’s mind was clear.

This sudden attack was obviously to rescue Qie Weilan.

No need to ask, it was certainly orchestrated by Qie Weilan’s backer.

Thinking this, Xu Gaotian leapt up, lunging towards the flying Qie Weilan.

But just midway, a huge stone suddenly descended from the sky, striking his head with uncanny precision.

Bam!

A dull thud resounded.

Xu Gaotian stumbled and almost fell to the ground.

At the same time, a faint silhouette flitted through the yard, scooped up the unconscious Qie Weilan from the ground, and vanished instantly.

The whole process took but a moment, leaving the small courtyard empty.

As Xu Gaotian finally awoke from his dazed stupor, fury overcame him at the sight before him.

He stomped heavily.

Boom!

The small courtyard shook violently, and the surrounding buildings collapsed with a roar.

Simultaneously, countless shadows rushed in from all around, kneeling before Xu Gaotian in unison.

"What are your orders, Second Hall Master!"

Xu Gaotian gritted his teeth and growled, "Dispatch men to level Wan Hua Lou, and issue a kill order to pursue Qie Weilan, Zhuo Benzheng, and others!"

"Yes!"

Upon receiving their orders, the shadows dispersed like phantoms.

Standing still, Xu Gaotian caressed his swollen head with a sinister smile.

"Rule Power; even in the Ling’an Domain, only a handful possess such power, so... you can’t escape. I will find you!"

Meanwhile, Qie Weilan awoke from a disoriented haze, realizing she was being carried by a stout figure through the darkness.

Startled, she heard the figure whisper, "Don’t be afraid, it’s me!"

Qie Weilan opened her mouth, and finally whispered, "Uncle Wu..."

The figure leapt through the darkness, finally landing in the small courtyard from before.

In the light, it was revealed to be the plump eunuch from before.

"Forget it, I watched your father die right before my eyes, leaving me sleepless for decades. Now you’re the same, and I can’t just sit by!"

He let go, and Qie Weilan staggered, then steadied herself, offering a deep bow.

"Thank you, Uncle Wu!"

Eunuch Wu waved his hand, "No need for thanks, the situation is critical. Even though I used the stones to temporarily repel Xu Gaotian, he won’t let it go. If I’m not mistaken, he’s already mobilized his forces to search the entire city!"

Hearing this, Qie Weilan’s expression turned somber, "I’ve dragged you into this, Uncle Wu. Don’t worry, I’ll leave now!"

Saying so, she turned to leave.

"Leave? Do you believe you can walk out that door and not find yourself back in Xu Gaotian’s hands before leaving this street?" Eunuch Wu said coldly.

Qie Weilan trembled but did not refute, knowing Uncle Wu spoke the truth.

"Fine, since your father was a good friend of mine, I can’t just ignore it. Stay hidden here for now!"

"But won’t this involve you?"

Eunuch Wu chuckled, "Though Xu Gaotian is unruly, I am the chief steward beside his father; he must give me some respect!"

With that, Eunuch Wu turned and walked inside, sighing, "Such a shame about that Wan Hua Lou."

Hearing this, Qie Weilan shuddered, wanting to say something, but tears were already streaming down her face.

She hated her own weakness, her recklessness.

Tonight’s events not only failed to achieve her goal but also implicated many others.

Fortunately, she dismissed everyone from Wan Hua Lou before acting.

She hoped they all obediently fled the city!

Qie Weilan thought silently.

And at the same time, in front of Wan Hua Lou, Zhuo Benzheng, Wu Zizhang, and two others stood dumbfounded.

For at this moment, Wan Hua Lou’s doors were shut tight, and it was pitch black inside—not a single figure, not even a shadow of a ghost could be seen.

"What’s going on? Is it closed today?" Han Bochao asked in surprise.

But the expressions on Zhuo Benzheng and Wu Zizhang’s faces became extremely serious.

"Something’s wrong, this isn’t right!" Zhuo Benzheng murmured.

The four had already left Wan Hua Lou.

Zhuo Benzheng, upset by Qie Weilan’s sudden coldness, had stormed off with Wu Zizhang and the others in a fit of anger.

But once his head cleared a bit, he realized something was wrong.

Based on Qie Weilan’s final words, she clearly didn’t want to implicate them!

Given the circumstances, the four rushed back, only to find Wan Hua Lou deserted.

Just as they were bewildered, footsteps suddenly resounded from all directions, and over a dozen men in black emerged from the shadows, surrounding them.

"What do you want?" Wu Zizhang immediately shouted.

But the men in black ignored his words, instead fixing a deep gaze on Zhuo Benzheng at the front.

"Are you Zhuo Benzheng?"

"Yes!" Zhuo Benzheng subconsciously answered.

"Take them!"

The men in black surged forward, rushing at Zhuo Benzheng and the others.

Though Zhuo Benzheng and his companions followed the path of scholarship into the Dao, they were still at the theoretical stage, with no combat ability.

Seeing the fierce men in black charge at them, the four were all dumbfounded.

But just then, two figures slowly approached from the other end of the street.

Leading was a young man in white, followed by a veiled woman.

"Are you sure Wan Hua Lou is on this street?" the young man asked.

"Rest assured, there’s no mistake! When I corresponded with Miss Qie, she personally drew a map marking Wan Hua Lou’s location, so this path is definitely correct."
