Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny novel Chapter 2496

Chapter 2496: Chapter 2497: Becoming a Clear Breeze

Yet under these circumstances, when Xue An stepped across that boundary that marked the sphere of influence of the City Lord’s Mansion, those watchtowers did not show the slightest hint of abnormality, still standing there in utter silence.

Immediately after, Xue An raised his head to glance at the bright moon hanging in the sky, then his whole figure noiselessly dispersed, merging into the moonlight and silently slipping into the City Lord’s Mansion.

The layout of this City Lord’s Mansion was strict and integrated inside and out; its defenses could be described as heavily guarded and impregnable.

The reason for such tight security was that beneath this City Lord’s Mansion, a grand Array was buried.

This grand Array was closely linked to the earth veins of Yunxiao City, thus it could ignore all shielding Arrays and probe the entire city without a single blind spot.

So as long as one seized this Array, one would naturally gain control over the whole of Yunxiao City.

This was why the defenses here were so stringent, and it was also the target Xue An needed to locate after infiltrating the City Lord’s Mansion.

At this moment, Xue An was in a mysterious state that hovered between existence and nonexistence.

To say he existed was because his mind was clear and his thoughts were lucid.

To say he did not was because he had lost any concrete form, turning into a wisp of breeze, slowly roaming through the City Lord’s Mansion.

In this state, his presence had diminished to nearly nothing; even a Saint-level existence would be unable to sense him.

The price, however, was that his speed became very slow, and he could only drift forward like a faint breeze.

Xue An was in no hurry, because he knew that although this City Lord’s Mansion appeared calm on the surface, countless detection Arrays were hidden beneath. The slightest slip on his part would cause this mission to fail completely.

Thus Xue An slowly passed through the City Lord’s Mansion, committing every blade of grass and tree along the way to memory.

At this slow pace, Xue An traversed more than half of the front portion of the City Lord’s Mansion, and then was surprised to discover a certain fact.

That was, this City Lord’s Mansion, which appeared so luxurious, was actually desolate and quiet; aside from patrolling soldiers, there was hardly any sign of life.

In particular, there were no womenfolk at all.

This could not help but stir a faint ripple in Xue An’s heart.

This was entirely different from the scene he had imagined before coming.

Still, he forced down his suspicion and quietly slipped toward the central area of the City Lord’s Mansion.

Here stood a small building, with lights currently shining on the second floor, clearly indicating that someone lived within.

Xue An slowed his steps even more, then came to stand before the small building.

He could be certain that this small building should be the key.

Because according to the layout of the City Lord’s Mansion, this small building sat precisely at the very center, and should be where the Array’s core node was located.

And as for the person inside, there was no need to ask; it had to be Lord Yuehua.

Although after advancing to Saint, Xue An no longer feared him, he still did not wish to alert him before achieving his goal.

So he exerted himself to the utmost to restrain all traces of his aura, silently coming to the window on the second floor.

Compared to the tight defenses elsewhere in the City Lord’s Mansion, this small building was shockingly simple; there were not even any shielding Arrays on the windows—they were just left wide open.

So when Xue An reached the window, he could see the scene inside at a glance.

It was a room stripped to the very limit of simplicity.

The floor was covered with plain bamboo mats, the four walls stark white, and in the very center of the room sat a low table.

A lamp was lit upon the table, and beside it a man sat upright, bent over the low table, writing and painting something.

It was none other than Lord Yuehua, with whom Xue An had once crossed paths.

Only now, this Lord Yuehua was very different from the domineering, overwhelming top expert of the Yin and Yang Clan he had appeared as that day.

He was wearing a light cyan long robe, his long hair loose, his figure looking rather thin.
