Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 2337: Chapter 2338: Memorial (First Update)

"Visit them? How? Don’t you know the Yue Clan already hates us to the core?" Sima Chongzhao said coldly.

"Hehe, of course we’ll go under the guise of paying our respects. At this point, they can’t possibly turn away those coming to pay tribute!" Long Yushu laughed.

Sima Chongzhao remained silent, deep in thought.

He was inherently suspicious and cautious, so upon hearing this news, he felt something was amiss.

Long Yushu spoke softly, "Family Head Sima, you should know that both you and I have a deep grudge against the Yue Clan. Are we just going to watch the opportunity slip away like this?"

"This time we’ll explore the situation. If the Yue Clan is really up to something, we can just leave. But if it’s true..."

A cruel smile appeared on Long Yushu’s face, "With Yue Shifang dead, isn’t the Yue Clan just a piece of fat meat for us? And if we can seize the initiative..."

Long Yushu didn’t finish his sentence, but the meaning was clear.

This speech moved Sima Chongzhao, who finally made up his mind and nodded, "Very well, let’s make this trip!"

At the same time, it wasn’t just the Dragon Family and Sima Family; other families of the Bing Family’s twelve Branch Veins also received the news.

Their reactions, however, were varied.

Gu Clan.

Gu Wangya sprang up, shock written all over his face, "What did you say? Yue Shifang is dead?"

The messenger bowed his head and said, "That’s right, the news just came in!"

"How is that possible? Yue Shifang was the only one among the Bing Family who possessed power beyond that of a Saint and had lived for millennia. How could he suddenly pass away?" Gu Wangya still found it hard to believe.

"The information has been confirmed. At least for now, it seems Yue Shifang has indeed died, as someone just saw the Ghost Needle Divine Doctor from Godfall Valley leave!"

Gu Wangya sat back in his chair, pondering silently for a long time.

Though part of a different Branch Vein, they were all from the Bing Family. Particularly, Yue Shifang was the only surviving great power of that era. His sudden departure naturally left Gu Wangya at a loss.

At this moment, many of the overseers of the Gu Clan also rushed in upon hearing the news.

"Family Head, what should we do now? I heard that the dragon and Sima families have already set out for the Yue Family to pay their respects. Shouldn’t we also take action?" asked a senior overseer.

Gu Wangya finally snapped out of it and said with a complicated expression, "The people from the Dragon and Sima families have already gone?"

"That’s right!"

"Those guys really haven’t changed their greedy ways!" Gu Wangya snorted coldly and then stood up, ordering in a solemn voice.

"Prepare the armor!"

At the command, someone immediately brought in Gu Wangya’s armor.

Gu Wangya dressed in full attire, but this time she did not wear the red cloak; instead, she donned a simple outer garment and said,

"As part of the Bing Family, with Yue Shifang’s fall, we naturally should go pay our respects. Deliver my order: everyone above the overseer’s rank must wear plain clothes and follow me!"

"Yes!"

The entire Gu Clan moved at the news.

The same was true for the Zhongli Family.

Zhongli Wuwang was pacing back and forth in his room, his face serious, and a heavy aura enveloped the entire room.

The crowd dared not speak.

After a long while, Zhongli Wuwang finally stopped, sighed deeply, and said, "What a pity, for a generation of heroes to end up like this. Your departure means that the Yue Clan, which just showed signs of revitalization, might be on the verge of collapse!"

His voice lingered in the air, and a ceremonial elder of the Zhongli Family could not help but step forward and say, "Master of Arms, all the other families are preparing to pay their respects. Shouldn’t we also go and pay our respects?"

"Pay respects? Of course! We definitely need to go pay our respects!" Zhongli Wuwang’s face displayed a cold smile before he asked,

"Have the people from the Dragon and Sima families already gone?"

"Yes! According to reports, they were the first to set off!"

"Then we should prepare to set off too! After all, such a grand event cannot be without our Zhongli Family!"

Song Family.

Song Yuze looked at the elders of the Song Family in the hall, arguing loudly and couldn’t help but slam the table.

"Enough!"

This stern shout silenced the room instantly, with all eyes focused on him.

The Family Head of the Song Family, also Song Yuze’s father, Song Jianmu, couldn’t help but ask, "What’s the matter?"

"Father, I believe that at this uncertain time, arguing about gains and losses is utterly meaningless!"

"Oh? Then what’s your opinion?" Song Jianmu asked gravely, his eyes flashing.

"In my opinion, we should first go to the Yue Family to pay our respects and take the opportunity to verify the truth of the matter!"

"After all, emotionally, we are all descendants of the Bing Family, and Yue Shifang was a senior existing since ancient times. It is only proper to pay our respects. Logically, his fall will inevitably cause upheaval within the Bing Family. Our Song Family is relatively weak, and we should ascertain the situation early and prepare for it!"

Song Yuze’s clear and organized reasoning garnered nods from the crowd.

Song Jianmu nodded approvingly with a smile, "Very good! In that case, I’ll leave this matter to you!"

"Yes!"

Song Yuze bowed and then turned to leave and make preparations.

Meanwhile, the Tao Family, Bai Family, Lü Family, and other families were also moving at the news.

However, all families unanimously sent their delegations to the Yue Family to pay their respects.

In an instant, the long-calm Bing Family was stirred into a frenzy.

As the first families to set out, Long Yushu and Sima Chongzhao naturally arrived at the Yue Family first.

Upon seeing the tall mourning couplets in front of the Yue Family, Long Yushu and Sima Chongzhao raised their eyebrows slightly and exchanged glances.

The meaning in their eyes was clear.

Could Yue Shifang really be dead?

With this question in mind, the two of them moved forward to the front entrance.

There were naturally people responsible for guarding the door. Long Yushu and Sima Chongzhao presented their white tribute cards.

Then a desolate and mournful voice echoed throughout the main house of the Yue Family.

"Long Family Patriarch Long Yushu, Sima Family Patriarch Sima Chongzhao, have come to pay their respects!"

The voice resonated through the sky, and then someone came to lead them inside.

The whole way, Long Yushu and Sima Chongzhao saw only white.

The people of the Yue Family were clad in mourning attire, their faces full of sorrow.

This further deepened their suspicions because if this were truly a setup, the cost would be exorbitantly high.

Soon, the two of them reached the central courtyard where the coffin was placed.

The area was arranged with somber austerity.

People surrounded the coffin, kneeling.

As they walked in, many people looked up at them, eyes filled with hidden anger.

Because everyone knew they were not there purely to pay their respects; they might even harbor malicious intent.

Even so, they could only suppress the anger in their hearts.
