Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 2757: Chapter 2758: Gifting a Head as a Favor

"Yes!" Wu Jun spoke with a heart full of sorrow.

"Just for the tiny benefit that Shi Chang promised him, simply because the master was getting older, just because she occasionally disobeyed... that wretched old man betrayed the master without hesitation!"

"He used a vile excuse to trick the master into the General’s Mansion of Ling’an at that time, and then Shi Chang..."

At this point, he choked up once more, but knowing Shi Chang’s nature, one can imagine what happened next.

"We only got the news the next day, and then we ran like mad to the General’s Mansion in Ling’an, just in time to see the master being carried out! At that moment, she... she was already tortured beyond recognition, with countless injuries on her body!"

"Upon seeing us, she still managed to smile and said, why did you come! Then she fainted."

"We carried the master back to the troupe, and everyone pointed fingers at us. Some of the women who envied the master’s appearance and achievements had smug smiles on their faces! They completely forgot who had supported the whole troupe back then."

"But at that point, we couldn’t care less about those things. We only hoped for a miracle to keep the master alive; as long as that could be achieved, we would have been willing to die at that moment!"

"But the miracle never came. After being in a coma for a day and a night, the master’s breath weakened. Just when she was on the verge of death, she called us to her side and said one thing!"

Xue An sighed deeply, "Did she tell you not to seek revenge?"

Wu Jun and Duan Muguang froze, "You..."

"It’s not hard to guess, given that with your abilities, dealing with Shi Chang, who possesses the strength of a fourth-grade Great General, would be nothing but wishful thinking. It might even destroy your lives!" Xue An said lightly.

Wu Jun and Duan Muguang were silent for a moment, then nodded in unison.

"Indeed, that was what the master said, and it was also the only time we went against her order!"

"So have you spent these years in hatred?"

"Yes!" Wu Jun gritted his teeth, "Before coming to the Ling’an Domain, we had already killed many enemies!"

"Was it those people from the troupe?"

"Yes!" Wu Jun’s face showed deep hatred.

"Shi Chang is the main culprit, but those people are the accomplices who helped the evildoer. I certainly wouldn’t let them go."

"Over the years, the master taught both Duan Muguang and me a lot, and later, through life’s turmoil, we learned many things. Killing those profit-driven actors was no problem at all!"

"I still remember the expressions on those people’s faces when they saw our true selves before they died. Some cried and begged for mercy, some slumped to the ground speechless, and some tearfully expressed remorse to my dead master, but no matter what they did, I didn’t spare them!"

"I killed them in the most brutal ways, just like how they pushed the master into the pit of fire back then."

"What about the head of that troupe?" Sheng Hongqian, who had been listening quietly, suddenly asked.

"Of course, that guy too! He was more cunning than the others. After hearing that those in the troupe had all died, he immediately went into hiding, renaming and disguising himself. It took Duan Muguang and me ten whole years to finally find him in an unremarkable small town!"

"By then, he had become the most prominent wealthy man in that small town, even renowned for his charity! Isn’t it ironic that the very person who would sell out his subordinates for petty gain became a lauded benefactor of society!"

Wu Jun sneered, "But when this great benefactor saw the two of us, he immediately knelt to the ground, kowtowing frantically."

"According to him, he always knew this day would come, hence he had been doing good deeds to repent for his past sins, and he said he had been waiting for this day, ready to commit suicide in front of us to atone for his actions back then!"

"Well, that guy’s not too bad, at least he knows how to mend his ways!" Sheng Hongqian remarked.

"Heh, mend his ways? Everything he said was just to buy time. In fact, over the years, he had already bribed a few powerful cultivators through various means and always carried a communication device. The moment he saw us, he crushed the device, trying to delay us until those cultivators arrived!"

"And then what?"

"He still died! Because he never dreamed that the cultivators he had summoned were no match for the two of us. After falling into several traps and suffering casualties, they fled helter-skelter."

"He always thought we were just ordinary actors, perhaps with some street skills, but how could he know that to avenge our master, Duan Muguang and I had endured countless hardships, never slacking for a moment."

"So he died, and before he did, I gave him three thousand cuts before he finally took his last breath!"

As he spoke these words, Wu Jun’s tone was incredibly calm.

Sheng Hongqian couldn’t help but cheer, "Good! That kind of scum needs to be dealt with like this. It’s a pity that when I killed Shi Chang earlier, I was a bit too quick. If I had known about this, I would have let him suffer before dying!"

Wu Jun shook his head, "Shi Chang died today because none of the favorable conditions aligned for him, otherwise he wouldn’t have died so easily. In fact, Duan Muguang and I had no intention of returning alive when we came back to Ling’an City."

"Even with a death wish, we knew that the chance of successfully killing him was slim. We simply couldn’t wait any longer, as with time, he would only grow stronger. Once he entered the realm of a third-grade top-ranked general, he would be entirely beyond our reach!"

"So I am already satisfied that he could die today, and as for everything else, we no longer dare to hope!"

Xue An nodded, then with a swift movement of his sword, he directly cut off Shi Chang’s head and handed it to Wu Jun.

"Take this as a souvenir!"

This casual display of gifting a head as a gesture made Niu Dali, Zhang Xiaoqiang, and others’ eyelids twitch, while Sheng Hongqian’s eyes shone brightly.

Wu Jun didn’t decline and solemnly accepted Shi Chang’s head, bowing deeply.

"We deeply appreciate this kindness! Should the young master ever need our help, we will not hesitate to lay down our lives."

Xue An smiled, "Where do you plan to go next?"

"I don’t know." Wu Jun replied somewhat dazedly.

Indeed!

Where should they go?

Previously, they lived for revenge, and now that their great revenge is fulfilled, where should they head?

"Let me give you a direction. Your master surely had some connection with the Palace of Light. Why not seek refuge there? If you can find out why your master ended up as a wandering actress, wouldn’t it be better?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Jun and Duan Muguang both shuddered, then exchanged a glance.

"Alright! We’ll go to the Palace of Light as you suggest!"
