Chapter 1398: Chapter 1395: Set a Trap, Meet a Person! (First Update)

Killing is never the best solution to a problem, but it is undoubtedly the most effective one.

Especially when there’s a deep and bitter enmity between the parties involved—bloodshed often brings a fleeting sense of peace.

At least, this was how Que Wenyuan felt at the moment.

When she saw the foreign Ghost Race members, who once delighted in slaughtering her clan, struggling and pleading under the fireworks before ultimately turning into ash and vanishing into nothingness.

She didn’t know when tears had already covered her face, but her heart was brimming with happiness.

Yet those who died can never return!

Finally.

The sky filled with fireworks gradually dissipated.

Looking again at the current Luo Family Mansion and Chuzhou City, they had completely changed beyond recognition.

The foreign Ghost Race members, who had once flaunted their power, were almost completely annihilated, leaving no trace of their existence.

Only the surviving indigenous Ghost Race members remained, their faces filled with terror as they stared at their surroundings, unaware of what had transpired.

And in the banquet hall, apart from Xue An and his group, the only other survivor was Luo Jingting.

When the flames reached her, the Buddhist Seal between her brows saved her, allowing her to survive the fiery destruction that had just occurred.

But even so, she sat dazed and collapsed on the ground like a lifeless sculpture, unresponsive to everything outside.

Because today, or perhaps just an hour ago, she was still the esteemed eldest daughter of the Luo Family.

Yet suddenly, everything changed.

The mother she had trusted most turned out to be a villain with sinister intentions, using her for ulterior motives.

And her master, after speaking some cryptic words, departed from the mortal world.

Now, the Luo Family had fallen, and only she remained.

How could she not feel lost and overwhelmed?

Xue An glanced at her, shook his head lightly, then turned away and approached the massive pit. With one step, he descended straight into the underground chasm.

"Ah!" Que Wenyuan let out a sharp cry of alarm, rushing forward to look down, only to exhale in relief moments later.

Xue An stood suspended in the void, and before him hovered a radiant sphere of light.

Upon closer observation, it became evident that within this sphere of light lay the shadowy figure of a woman.

Xue An silently gazed at it, then raised his hand and softly stroked the glowing orb.

His touch created ripples where his fingers passed through.

Then Xue An raised his eyebrows slightly.

As Luo Li had mentioned, this Defense Formation was indeed peculiar.

Its peculiarity wasn’t in its strength—on the contrary, with Xue An’s power, he could easily crush it with minimal effort.

But he could clearly sense that the Defense Formation was deeply tied to this realm.

If the formation were forcibly destroyed, no one could predict what might happen to the realm itself.

This was why Luo Li and the others dared not act recklessly.

Yet while it may have stumped Luo Li and her group, it posed no challenge to Xue An.

With a flip of his wrist, the two Fang Ancient Mirrors appeared before him. Then Xue An clasped them together.

Click!

With a crisp sound, the two Fang Ancient Mirrors merged rapidly, forming a peculiar spherical shape that began spinning furiously.

As it spun, waves rippled from the sphere.

The Defense Formation was triggered, revealing specks of luminescence.

Xue An folded his arms, standing silently to observe.

Finally, an ethereal aura began to emerge.

At first, the aura was faint, but it quickly expanded at an astonishing rate.

In an instant, the shadow of the woman within the sphere of light moved, and then an imposing aura erupted skyward, stirring the winds and clouds into a frenzied dance.

Under the impact of this aura, the heavens and earth seemed to cheer and rejoice, as if welcoming the long-awaited return of their king.

Que Wenyuan, Ying Ning, and all the surviving indigenous Ghost Race members trembled upon sensing this aura, then fell to their knees in overwhelming excitement.

Xue An calmly raised his gaze, a faintly inscrutable smile gracing his lips.

Finally.

The radiant burst of energy dramatically contracted and, in an instant, reentered the sphere of light.

Then came a soft cracking sound, as the sphere shattered like an egg shell.

From within a haze of luminous energy, a woman emerged gracefully.

Her mere walking posture was enough to be described as a vision of soaring splendor—graceful and ethereal.

When she fully stepped out of the radiant mist, her appearance revealed a woman of breathtaking beauty and captivating presence, with eyes full of charm and gentleness.

As she appeared before the crowd, Ying Ning and the others were overcome with uncontrollable excitement, trembling as they spoke aloud.

"We salute Lady Zang Xueling!"

Indeed, the woman before them was the ruler of this realm.

While the others were caught up in their fervor, she quietly gazed at Xue An, a radiant smile blossoming on her face as she gracefully bowed.

"Thank you for your timely intervention, Ghost Venerable. Zang Xueling is deeply grateful!"

Her voice was as sweet and melodious as an oriole singing in a valley.

Yet Xue An displayed no emotion, replying indifferently, "You orchestrated this elaborate scheme just to meet me?"

Zang Xueling stiffened slightly, a bitter smile playing on her lips before she bowed her head, speaking respectfully, "Indeed, you saw through it, Ghost Venerable!"

Xue An replied serenely, "When Wen Muling told me she awoke to find herself in this realm, I already had my suspicions!"

"And once I arrived here, those suspicions were confirmed. After all... no one could coincidentally bear names like Ying Ning or Nie Xiaoqian. These names hold specific meanings only to the Hua Clan, leaving only one explanation: the flaws in your plan were intentional. Am I correct?"

Zang Xueling’s expression subtly shifted before she lowered her head and admitted with deference, "Indeed, Ghost Venerable! Those flaws were purposefully placed by me!"

Xue An chuckled, his brows slightly raising as he coldly asked, "Then what I want to know is, why did you go to such great lengths? What do you truly want?"

Under his questioning, the atmosphere became stiflingly tense, plunging everyone into silence.

Many people’s expressions shifted dramatically, and they looked toward the scene in mounting concern.

Zang Xueling’s face paled visibly as she took two steps back, inhaling deeply before bowing and saying, "Please don’t be angry, Ghost Venerable! I didn’t intend to exploit or deceive you! I had no other choice!"

"Oh? Tell me how you had no choice. I’m listening," Xue An said slowly, his expression inscrutable.

Zang Xueling responded with a faint bitter smile, "Ghost Venerable, since you know I saved Wen Muling, you must also understand the immense risk I undertook!"

Xue An remained expressionless, silently confirming the unusual circumstances he had deduced earlier.

After all, the ’death’ of the Nether Monarch was a matter of critical importance to the entire Ghost Realm. It wasn’t something a mere minor figure like Zang Xueling should have dared to involve herself in.

Yet she had boldly done so, even saving a shadow guard she had never met.

The entire sequence of events was undoubtedly laden with intrigue.
