Chapter 2531: Chapter 2532: Sleight of Hand

As soon as the idea emerged, the corpse girl developed a strong curiosity about this hidden courtyard.

No way!

I have to find out what’s going on inside!

Thinking this, the corpse girl silently circled to the back of the small courtyard and then began to slowly wriggle.

As she wriggled, her entire body gradually ascended and soon reached the top of the courtyard wall.

Although the Divine Sense had been shielded, once she climbed onto the courtyard wall, the situation inside the courtyard became clear and unmistakable.

In this small courtyard, a spacious house was situated.

From the corpse girl’s position, she happened to see the wide-open window of the house.

Inside, it was packed as if full of people.

At this moment, Bao Huarong had just closed the door and was walking back. After entering the house, a questioning voice sounded from inside.

"What’s going on?"

"Oh, nothing much, just someone who took the wrong door; I’ve already sent them away!"

Bao Huarong’s voice was very low, almost imperceptible if not listened to carefully.

The corpse girl tried her best to listen, attempting to catch the conversation inside.

But at this moment, the voices inside suddenly weakened and finally returned to silence.

The corpse girl felt slightly annoyed.

She knew that the others had evidently set a restrictive Array to block the sound.

However, she was not prepared to give up.

The more careful they were, the more it proved that these guys were up to something shady.

Holding onto this thought, the corpse girl steeled herself and cautiously climbed over the courtyard wall, entering the courtyard.

Though her strength wasn’t particularly high, owing to her Cultivation Technique, her ability to hide was quite proficient.

So the moment she landed, she transformed into transparency, stealthily creeping to the front of the room.

Due to the restrictive Array, even at close proximity, she heard nothing.

Yet, this Array evidently only targeted sound, not sight.

It seemed the person who set the Array never imagined someone would be so bold to snoop around here.

So she soon arrived at the rear window of the house and cautiously peered inside.

When the scene within the house came into view, the curious corpse girl felt her blood freeze instantly.

Because what was happening inside had completely surpassed her imagination.

Inside this large house, blood and limbs were strewn everywhere.

The corpse girl was certainly not frightened by mere gore.

The most shocking was the ongoing battle.

Numerous grotesque and bizarre creatures had encircled Bao Huarong, yet Bao Huarong was unperturbed, repeatedly waving his hands, engaging in a one-sided massacre.

The corpse girl suddenly understood.

This Bao Huarong was evidently no longer himself.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t be slaughtering these creatures so ruthlessly.

Then who was he?

It seemed an answer to her question was imminent; with a loud crash, the former sound restriction shattered instantly.

Only to hear the creatures inside angrily roar.

"You bastard, who exactly are you? Disguising as one of us, what are you intending to do?"

"Haha, haven’t you been looking for me all along? And now you’re asking who I am?"

With the sound, Bao Huarong’s form dissipated, revealing Xue An’s true appearance.

Upon seeing it was him, the creatures in the room became wildly agitated.

Several of the creatures immediately turned to flee.

But since Xue An came here, he was fully prepared; naturally, he wouldn’t let a single creature escape.

Thus, just a few steps out, the creatures were pinned by sword beams, reduced to puddles of pus and blood.

Such clean and decisive slaughter left the surviving creatures trembling in fear.

Because all these developments were far too excessive.

Today was meant to convene all lurking creatures to discuss the future, but with the arrival of Gale Stronghold’s Head, Bao Huarong, scarcely three sentences were exchanged before he suddenly struck.

Caught off guard, at least dozens of creatures fell on the spot.

Feeling these creatures’ trembling, Xue An sneered coldly, "Now I give you a choice: kneel to live or stand to die. What do you choose...?"

Before Xue An finished, the creatures unhesitatingly knelt.

"Spare us, master! Spare us!"

To these creatures who never knew decorum or shame, they’d do anything to survive.

Mere submission meant nothing.

As long as they could escape here, who knew what would come next?

Unexpectedly, not letting the creatures finish their plea, Xue An coldly remarked, "I have a question: why did no one from True Martial Daoist Temples, who summoned you, show up?"

The creatures froze briefly.

Xue An pointed a finger, and one creature’s head shattered instantly.

The remaining creatures screamed in fright, hastily responding, "Master, we don’t know where they’ve gone either, only heard that a notable figure summoned them, which is why they missed this meeting."

"A notable figure summoned them? What notable figure?"

"That we do not know!"

Pop!

That creature’s head shattered as well.

The remaining few creatures quivered violently, looking at Xue An with dread-filled eyes.

As if to them, Xue An was the true demon.

Xue An merely chuckled coldly in response.

"No need to look at me like that. I promised not to kill you, so rest assured."

The creatures rejoiced, "Thank you, master!"

"But even though I won’t kill you, you also cannot just leave like this!"

With that, Xue An’s eyes glowed with divine light, a tremendous Divine Sense surged forth, instantly enveloping the remaining creatures.

"Ahhhh!"

The creatures writhed in agony, but minutes later, they were subdued by the Divine Sense.

Pop, pop, pop!

Several creatures’ heads exploded under the immense burden, while the rest became dazed.

"Now, I am your master, understood?" Xue An said calmly.

"Yes, master!" The creatures fell to their knees, bowing fervently to Xue An.

This scene almost made the corpse girl cry out in shock.

Never had she imagined anyone could completely subjugate these utterly immoral creatures.

Yet compared to what happened next, this seemed utterly mundane.

With a wave of his hand, Xue An summoned flames that swept through the room, burning away all blood and remnants.

Once the flames subsided, the creatures that had just perished reappeared before them again.

Only now, their eyes seemed vacant.

Like puppets under someone else’s control.
