Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 619: Chapter 619: The Hua Clan Enters the City, Operating Everywhere (First Update)
 

In the days that followed, as countless cultivators from numerous sects poured into Luofu City, the city’s hustle and bustle intensified.

Accompanying this influx, the heart-and-dagger struggles of various powers also gradually reached a fever pitch.

However, in the midst of this complex situation with undercurrents swirling, all the major sects, including the Puppet Immortal Sect, maintained their silence.

Because the truly clever knew that no matter what kind of schemes or tricks you employed, they were all predicated on the foundation of power.

Without power, everything else was as elusive and ineffectual as flowers reflected in a mirror or the moon’s reflection on the water.

Xue An led Xiao Shui and others to take up residence in the Puppet Immortal Sect’s subsidiary estate within Luofu City.

Owing to the special status of Luofu City, each major sect had a subsidiary estate here.

One reason was for convenience during the Thousand Races Conference, but more importantly, it was for the collection of intelligence.

According to Cang Yayun, every Thousand Races Conference took place in a different region of the Heavenly Dao.

Knowing in advance which part of the Heavenly Dao would open, naturally, would be greatly beneficial in achieving good results.

But such intelligence was held in the hands of the City Lord of Luofu City.

Only the City Lord of Luofu City could ascertain when the Heavenly Dao region would open and what the situation inside was like, through an ability akin to a heritage of bloodline talent.

No one else could fathom such knowledge.

This was also why Luofu City held such an extraordinary position, yet had not been annexed by any other sect.

To this, Xue An merely smiled.

The so-called regions of the Heavenly Dao should be the abodes created by the will of this world’s Heavenly Dao.

This was not too surprising.

But Xue An was quite interested in this City Lord of Luofu City.

The fact that he could access information ahead of time indicated that he could connect with the will of the Heavenly Dao of this world.

Furthermore, to be able to pass it down generation after generation as a bloodline talent made it all the more interesting.

Just as Xue An’s interest had peaked,

An invitation was delivered to the estate of the Puppet Immortal Sect by the evening of that day.

The invitation was simple, asking the Sect Leader and elders of the Puppet Immortal Sect to attend a banquet at the City Lord’s Mansion the following evening.

The invitation was signed by the City Lord of Luofu City, Luo Wenshi.

Cang Yayun was not at all surprised by the invitation.

Before each Thousand Races Conference, the incumbent City Lord would always host a banquet.

This had become a traditional custom.

As Cang Yayun predicted, countless invitations were sent out from the City Lord’s Mansion, inviting people from all sects and clans to the following evening’s banquet.

The already tense atmosphere was further stirred by this event, with alliances forming and feuds emerging one after another.

At the same time,

A somewhat dilapidated black carriage entered Luofu City under the cover of the moonlight, at a leisurely pace.

The carriage journeyed through the bustling streets, passed several alleyways, and eventually stopped in front of a rather inconspicuous inn.

That very day, this small inn had closed early, and the shopkeeper, dressed in fresh attire, waited eagerly at the door.

When he saw the carriage arrive, he rushed forward excitedly.

Then the carriage curtain was lifted,

Hua You’an and the two Hua Clan youths stepped down from the carriage.

The shopkeeper was at first startled to see that it was three youths of tender years, then with reddened eyes, he bowed deeply and said, “I pay my respects to the three noble heroes.”

Hua You’an and his companions hurriedly dodged, not daring to accept such a profound salute.

Afterward, Hua You’an bowed with his hands clasped, and spoke with sincere earnestness, “Uncle Zhong, you have endured humiliation and borne a heavy burden operating in Luofu City for many years, running about for the affairs of the Hua Clan, how can we dare to accept your courtesy?”

After that day’s ceremony, Ancient Hua Country sent an emissary to deliver the head of the Left General to Werewolve’s Nation, thereby buying a passage.

And then Hua You’an and his two companions traveled day and night to reach Luofu City.

Finally arriving in the city today.

Before leaving, someone told Hua You’an,

After entering the city, go and find Uncle Zhong.

Because that is the only stronghold of Ancient Hua Country in Luofu City.

The shopkeeper who was referred to as Uncle Zhong simply shook his head upon hearing this, “I have merely done what a person of the Hua Clan should do, it’s truly nothing noteworthy!”

Then with clasped hands, he said, “Please follow me, the three of you!”

With that, he led Hua You’an and his two companions into a secret room inside the inn.

Once they were seated, Uncle Zhong’s expression turned solemn.

“The three of you, tonight the City Lord of Luofu has sent out invitations, asking all clans to attend the banquet tomorrow, but the only ones who did not receive an invitation were our Hua Clan.”

Upon hearing this, the three of You’an’s faces all displayed a look of anger.

“Those bastards, why didn’t they send an invitation to the Hua Clan? Are we not even qualified to attend the banquet?” a young man said indignantly.

Uncle Zhong gestured with his hands to calm them, then said in a deep voice, “At this point, anger won’t help us.”

“So what do we do? Just not go?” another more composed youngster asked.

“Of course not!” Hua You’an and Uncle Zhong said in unison.

Then Uncle Zhong looked deeply into Hua You’an’s eyes and gave a wry smile, “We’re all of the Hua Clan, may I ask if you’re a woman?”

Hua You’an’s face reddened slightly, then she nodded and said, “Yes! My name is Hua You’an.”

Uncle Zhong was shocked, staring at Hua You’an.

“You… Your surname is Hua?”

In Ancient Hua Country, only the Royal Family bore the surname Hua.

The young man beside her introduced, “Uncle Zhong, this is the Third Princess.”

Upon hearing this, Uncle Zhong took a deep breath, and then was about to kneel down to pay his respects.

Hua You’an hurriedly came forward to support him.

“Uncle Zhong, do not be so formal; I have come not as a Princess, but as a Hua Clan warrior to participate in the Thousand Clans Conference!”

Uncle Zhong looked at Hua You’an, who despite being dressed as a man, could not conceal her beautiful visage, with a complex emotion in his heart.

He had been stationed in Luofu City for thirty years, also having experienced three Thousand Clans Conferences.

In the beginning, the Hua Clan sent mature men with steady auras and much experience.

But subsequently, it was replaced by somewhat inexperienced youths.

This time not only were they young men barely of age, but even the Royal Family’s Third Princess had to disguise herself as a man to participate.

This situation made it clear how much the power of the Hua Clan had dwindled.

But even so, Uncle Zhong still didn’t see a hint of fear on the faces of these three.

This determination also infected Uncle Zhong.

He solemnly clasped his hands toward the three, “Although we haven’t received an invitation, our Hua Clan is also a member of the Thousand Clans, so we absolutely cannot be absent from this banquet. Leave this matter to me. Even if Chen Zhong should die, I will make sure that all three of you can attend the banquet.”

Hua You’an quickly said, “Uncle Zhong, one must not speak lightly of death!”

Upon hearing this, Chen Zhong smiled, “Your Highness, rest assured, I, Chen Zhong, have been in Luofu City for over thirty years; I still have some connections! Just leave it to me!”

Chen Zhong was true to his word, and after making arrangements for Hua You’an and her companions, he left the inn that very night and began to make his moves.
