Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 2731: Chapter 2732: Infiltration

Silence!

The small courtyard fell utterly silent.

Only after a moment did someone finally whisper in a tone of astonished awe.

"It looks like her—it’s just too perfect!"

The reason was nothing else: the portrait of Qie Weilan on the rice paper was simply too lifelike.

To the point where even the tiniest details were rendered.

The girls present spent all day with Qie Weilan and knew her extremely well, yet even they could not find a single flaw.

At this moment Xue An also walked up to the painting, carefully studied it for a while, then looked in surprise at Zhuo Benzheng, whose face was pale as paper.

"Excellent technique!"

This was no empty praise; Xue An truly saw faint traces of Dao in this painting.

This was not strange. Back when Xue An was cultivating in the Multiverse, he had learned of a technique that entered Dao through painting.

Once cultivated to a profound realm, its power could truly be described as godlike and unfathomable.

Though Zhuo Benzheng’s current skill with the brush was still far from that realm, the embryonic form was already visible.

What was even more precious was that this should all be something Zhuo Benzheng had comprehended on his own, with no trace of artificial polish, revealing just how astonishing his talent in painting was.

Zhuo Benzheng’s face flushed red and he stammered, "Young Master Xue, please see if it can be used?"

Xue An nodded with a smile. "Of course it can, because this painting of yours not only captures this Miss Qie’s appearance, more impressively, it fully conveys that unique aura she carries!"

"Then that’s good, that’s good!" Zhuo Benzheng said, then looked at Xue An with great anticipation.

And not only him—the girls present were all filled with expectant looks.

Xue An smiled, casually picked up the painting from the table, scrutinized it for a moment, then closed his eyes.

At the same time, his vast Mental Power spread out like flowing water.

Although this place was the core of the entire Ling’an Domain and, at this moment, even had the Saintly relic of immense power known as the Wen Sage Placard suppressing it, none of that posed any difficulty for Xue An.

If one were to rank the abilities Xue An currently possessed, then his Divine Sense would undoubtedly come first, followed by the Red Lotus Karmic Fire and then the Sword Dao.

Especially after inheriting Xing Tian’s experience from over hundreds of thousands of years, his Divine Sense had reached a level that could only be described as terrifying.

Although his current cultivation was merely Immortal Venerable, equivalent to this world’s Sixth-Rank Gallant Cavalry Commander, in terms of sheer Divine Sense strength he was not inferior even to a Fourth-Rank Great General.

Very soon, the vast Ling’an City was completely covered by Xue An’s majestic Divine Sense.

Within his world of Divine Sense, he could clearly perceive in the sky a presence as vast and awe-inspiring as a bright full moon.

That should be the Wen Sage Placard.

Apart from that, this enormous Ling’an City, as expected, contained forbidden zones of all sizes.

And the largest and most imposing of them was naturally the City Lord’s Mansion at the center of the city.

Even just viewing it from afar via Divine Sense gave Xue An a feeling as if he were being scorched.

Besides the City Lord’s Mansion, there were also many other forbidden zones of varying scale.

Yet by tracking the aura on the portrait, Xue An did not find Qie Weilan anywhere within Ling’an City.

He had already anticipated this.

In that case, Qie Weilan now had only two possible situations: one, she was no longer in Ling’an City, but that was almost impossible, because with her own ability she could never have escaped so quickly.

Moreover, from these girls’ accounts, Xue An knew that Qie Weilan absolutely wasn’t someone who would abandon everyone and flee alone; she was very likely to have gone to seek out Xu Gaotian.

Then the second possibility naturally emerged: since he hadn’t found any trace of her in the accessible public areas, she could only be inside the City Lord’s Mansion or within those various Divine Thought Barriers.

And the highest probability was the City Lord’s Mansion.

Thinking of this, Xue An let out a faint, cold laugh.

The Divine Thought Barrier around the City Lord’s Mansion looked vast and majestic, seemingly indestructible.

But in his eyes it was still riddled with loopholes.

The reason was simple: no matter how powerful a barrier was, it had to be supplied with Spiritual Energy.

And a place like the City Lord’s Mansion would need not just a single Spirit Vein to sustain it.

Yet on the surface, there was no sign of any Spirit Vein connected to the City Lord’s Mansion.

Then the greatest possibility was that its supply came from underground Spirit Veins.

Thinking of this, Xue An couldn’t help recalling what he had encountered back in the Sky Beyond the Skies at the Yin and Yang Clan.

Back then, in Moonlight City, Xue An had run into a similar situation.

Only at that time his Divine Sense was far from as powerful as it was now.

So he could only force his way in.

But things were different now. The present Xue An was confident he could infiltrate the City Lord’s Mansion through the underground Spirit Veins.

And he also wanted to know why this small Ling’an Domain had such a tangled and complex situation.

Especially this father and son, Xu Ling’an and Xu Gaotian, who stirred up many doubts in him.

With that thought, Xue An opened his eyes and looked at everyone.

"Well?" Zhuo Benzheng immediately asked.

Qian’er and the girls present also wore anxious expressions.

Xue An shook his head. "I searched the city, but for now I haven’t found any trace of her."

Upon hearing this, disappointment appeared on everyone’s faces.

"However, I intend next to infiltrate the City Lord’s Mansion and take a look. It’s just that the process will be somewhat lengthy, so I need to inform you in advance."

Zhuo Benzheng was startled. "Infiltrate the City Lord’s Mansion? Wouldn’t that be too dangerous?"

After all, just Xu Gaotian alone had already made them miserable.

And in the City Lord’s Mansion there was still that old fox, Xu Ling’an!

To break in rashly—wouldn’t that be extremely dangerous?

"Yes, Young Master," Qian’er also said. "Though we badly want to find Miss Qie, if it makes you take too great a risk, wouldn’t we be harming you?"

Xue An smiled. "Don’t worry. Even though it’s the City Lord’s Mansion, I still don’t take them seriously."

As he spoke, Xue An picked up a nearby chair and simply sat down in the courtyard.

This time his Divine Sense smoothly arrived once more before the City Lord’s Mansion, but did not approach it; instead, it silently sank underground.

Yet after descending barely more than three zhang, a dense layer of talisman patterns appeared in front of him as a barrier.

Xue An had expected this. Xu Ling’an was no fool; he would never ignore such a crucial lifeline.

These Talisman Spells that could block Divine Sense intrusion were one of his precautions.

But they posed no difficulty whatsoever for Xue An.

His Divine Sense scattered like mist, then turned into countless fine strands resembling Spiritual Energy, and easily slipped through this layer of Talisman Spells.

The entire process triggered no reaction from the Talisman Spells at all.

It was clear that Xu Ling’an had absolute confidence in his own arrangements and strength; once past this layer, the path was smooth.

Very quickly, Xue An went deep into the network formed by the intersecting underground Spirit Veins.

Then Xue An split off a strand of his own Divine Sense and merged it into these countless Spirit Veins.

In an instant, a complete distribution map of Ling’an City’s Spirit Veins surfaced in Xue An’s mind.
