<h4>Chapter 1422: Chapter 1419: Scared? Why Should I Be Scared? (First Update)</h4><h4></h4>


    After finishing everything, Ren Tianqi turned around, respectfully knelt on the ground, and then kowtowed loudly several times.


    "Master, thank you for your divine power. Now that my wish has been fulfilled, please act!"


    As he spoke, Ren Tianqi’s face showed an expression of relief, as if a thousand-pound burden had been lifted, and no trace of his previous hostility remained.


    Xue An smiled and nodded, "Very well, stand up!"


    "Yes!"


    Ren Tianqi stood up respectfully.


    Afterward, Xue An’s gaze swept over Tan Xiyao.


    Tan Xiyao shuddered all over, then let out a piteous scream, "No...!"


    As she spoke, she crawled toward Ren Tianqi on her knees.


    "Please don’t kill me! I’ll do anything for you! I know I was wrong; I shouldn’t have done what I did before! But I’m still pure!"


    Ren Tianqi did not even lift his eyelid and spoke calmly, "Whether you’re pure or not, what does that have to do with me?"


    Tan Xiyao’s body froze, staring nkly at Ren Tianqi.


    At the same time, Wei Haocang suddenly became excited, "Kill!"


    The word was spoken very clearly.


    Wei Qingxiao abruptly turned back.


    Because in the past, Wei Haocang, except for expressing hunger, had never spoken voluntarily.


    Now he could clearly express his thoughts, which was an unimaginable improvement.


    Xue An remained neutral, "Do you think she deserves to die?"


    This question was directed at Luo Jian.


    Luo Jian took a deep breath, "Master, if we’re talking about karma, almost everyone present deserves to die!"


    These words caused the entire scene to tremble.


    Many faces showed an expression of despair.


    Xue An let out a faint smile, "Oh? ording to you, then what about you and Ren Tianqi?"


    Luo Jian’s expression remained calm, shaking his head, "The two of us are different!"


    His face revealed a touch of bitterughter as he continued, "Because neither of us even had the chance tomit evil!"


    Xue Anughed aloud toward the heavens.


    Within theughter, Tan Xiyao trembled all over, but a glimmer of hope appeared in her eyes.


    If this white-d youth hesitated to act, could she possibly survive...?


    Before this thought fully formed, Tan Xiyao suddenly saw a sh of bright light before her eyes, her body flying into the air. Her vision flipped, and she could actually see her own back.


    Strange, how could this be...?


    With deep confusion, Tan Xiyao sank into the abyss of death and never woke again.


    Tan Xiyao died just like that.


    The crowd erupted into a fresh wave ofmotion.


    Especially the members of the Luo Family who were being restrained by Xue An’s divine sense—all of them were ovee with fear.


    They had no idea what this white-d youth wanted to do or why he hadn’t killed them yet.


    But thinking about it... it certainly couldn’t be anything good!


    As fear and uncertainty set in, Xue An turned his gaze toward Luo Gaoyang, who was hiding among the crowd, using all his effort to remain inconspicuous, and smiled faintly.


    "Luo Family Head, there’s something I’d like to ask you. I hope you will answer truthfully!"


    As he spoke, the divine sense restraining Luo Gaoyang was undone.


    Luo Gaoyang trembled all over, then hesitantly asked, "What... what is it?"


    "Very simple!" Xue An raised his finger and pointed at Luo Jingting, "What is her true background? And why did you go to such lengths to target Zang Xueling’s world?"


    The mention of Zang Xueling’s name made Luo Gaoyang’splexion be pale instantly. He couldn’t help but cry out, "You... You really came from that world?"


    "Yes! Strange, isn’t it?" Wen Muling interjected coldly, then asked sharply, "Old man, let me ask you, besides your Luo Family, who else participated in targeting the Nether Monarch?"


    Boom!


    If the previous questions had already caused ripples of shock among the crowd, Wen Muling’s remark nownded like a bomb, causing an uproar in the entire ce.


    Even Wei Qingxiao couldn’t help but tremble in shock, staring dumbfounded at Wen Muling and Xue An.


    The Nether Monarch....


    Could it be they truly were remnants of the Nether Monarch’s faction?


    Thinking of this, Wei Qingxiao’s heart couldn’t help but tighten.


    Although she hadn’t participated in the great battle back then, the legends that circted told her clearly what had urred.


    At that time, nearly all the major families in the Ghost Realm mobilized to suppress the Peerless Dark Lord who ruled this realm.


    The battle saw countless casualties, and the result was the fall of the Nether Monarch, with the noble families seizing victory.


    But due to the grave losses, over the years, the matter had be a taboo in the Ghost Realm, strictly forbidden to be discussed in private.


    As for the remnants of the Nether Monarch’s faction, they were hunted relentlessly, not allowed to exist.


    These matters shook Wei Qingxiao deeply, leaving her stunned.


    Luo Gaoyang naturally thought of this as well, and he shrieked in near madness, "The Nether Monarch! You really are remnants of the Nether Monarch’s faction?"


    Wen Muling detested being referred to with such disdainful terms and roared in fury, "That’s right, we are the people of the Nether Monarch! But we’re certainly not some remnants. If you dare talk nonsense again, I’ll kill you right now!"


    This was when Luo Gaoyang surprisingly calmed down, knowing that this was no longer a mere dispute between noble families but a confrontation destined to end in death.


    After all, there existed an unbridgeable hatred between the Nether Monarch’s faction and the noble families.


    Thus, at this moment, Luo Gaoyang becameposed, relinquishing his previous remnants of hope and delusion.


    "Hehe, I understand now. You want to know why we targeted Zang Xueling? I can tell you. Back when the Nether Monarch was being besieged, she repeatedly attempted to avoid involvement. That behavior angered the big shots of the Central Ghost Realm, who secretly ordered us to eliminate her!"


    "Big shots of the Central Ghost Realm? Who are they?" Wen Muling immediately asked.


    "Do you think I would tell you?" Luo Gaoyang sneered, then looked at Xue An.


    "Young man, no matter what your rtionship with the Nether Monarch is, I must warn you—this matter will not end well. Very soon, you will face the enraged retaliation from the true big shots of the Ghost Realm. Do you know why? Because back when they besieged the Nether Monarch, the entire Ghost Realm’s noble families were involved! Hahaha!"


    Luo Gaoyang burst into a fit of franticughter, full of arrogance and twisted delight.


    "Oh? I’m actually looking forward to it!" Amid theughter, Xue An spoke calmly.


    His words cut Luo Gaoyang’sughter short, forcing his gaze onto Xue An.


    "You... aren’t you afraid?"


    "Afraid?" Xue An shook his head. "Why would I be afraid? Besides...."


    Xue An smiled faintly, "Don’t you think this is all the more interesting?"


    Luo Gaoyang stared nkly at Xue An, his throat producing garbled sounds out of disbelief.


    Faced with the impending retaliation of the entire noble ss of the Ghost Realm, this white-d youth not only showed no fear, he was even exhrated—finding it entertaining.


    What kind of bizarre mindset was this?


    Even Wei Qingxiao was left utterly stunned.


    This person... just how audacious could one be?
