Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 2345: Chapter 2346: The Yue Clan Funeral Procession (First Update)

At this moment, Pan Ruomei had already confirmed that Yue Shifang was indeed dead, so she released her hand with an indifferent expression and said lightly, "I was just momentarily overwhelmed with anger and couldn’t control myself!"

Yue Qinghuan, furious, said, "Get out, all of you! My brother’s remains are not to be desecrated by the likes of you!"

Pan Ruomei sneered, "In that case, I’ll take my leave!"

With that, she turned and walked out.

Ximen Hao, although curious to stay and see how things would develop, had no reason to remain after Pan Ruomei left.

He could only follow Pan Ruomei and leave the Yue Clan.

After they left, Yue Qinghuan, still seething, said nothing and instead gazed questioningly at Xue An.

The second young lady furrowed her brows and said, "Xue An, those two clearly came with ill intentions. Shouldn’t we be cautious?"

Xue An chuckled warmly, "It’s certain they came with ill intentions, but there’s no need to bother being cautious. After what happened, they’ve obviously confirmed some things, which is why they left just like that!"

Even though he said so, a vague unease lingered in many people’s hearts.

Some even felt Xue An’s actions earlier were quite inappropriate, allowing outsiders to touch the Family Head’s remains.

Although it dispelled their doubts, wasn’t this an obvious sign of weakness?

However, these people kept their thoughts suppressed, not showing it.

At this point, the second young lady said gravely, "Even so, we still need to step up our defenses. By the way, how is the construction of the tomb going? Why have you returned early?"

"The main structure is completed. As for other details, they’re insignificant, so I returned!"

"So, can the burial date be confirmed?" The second young lady’s eyes flashed as she asked sternly.

"Yes, in three days, it will be the day of Yue Shifang’s grand funeral!"

While the Yue Family was confirming the funeral date for Yue Shifang, a fleet was quietly floating in the starry sky not far from the Yue Family’s main residence.

Ximen Hao and Pan Ruomei had not gone far. Instead, they stayed there, quietly waiting for something.

At this moment, in the flagship, Ximen Hao frowned and asked, "Are you certain he is truly dead?"

"Of course, after I touched his corpse, I probed deep into his body in various ways, and there was no response, so I can confirm he is truly dead!"

"But if we return just like this, the lords will obviously not be satisfied!" Ximen Hao hesitated.

"Heh, you probably saw the situation then; that woman blocking our way was obviously quite formidable. If we had acted then, retreating in one piece would have been difficult. That’s why I decided to temporarily withdraw. We can follow during the grand funeral and burial!"

"At that time, we can dig up his body, and whether we take it back as proof or whatever, we’ll have an explanation!" Pan Ruomei said.

Ximen Hao nodded, "It’s the only way!"

Meanwhile, the news that Yue Shifang’s funeral and grand burial would be three days later spread throughout the Bing Family.

Long Yushu sneered, "Finally, the time has come? Good, let’s see how arrogant you remain at the funeral!"

Sima Chongzhao said nothing, his face eager, clearly intending to avenge the loss of his hand that day.

As for the other family members, reactions varied.

In this situation, three days swiftly passed, and the day for Yue Shifang’s grand funeral finally arrived.

Starting from the morning, guests arrived continuously.

Soon, the square in front of the Yue Family’s main residence was packed with guests from all directions.

These people gathered in groups of three or five, discussing the upcoming funeral, and many sighed as they spoke.

"It’s a pity that Yue Shifang, a hero of his time, left so suddenly, and after his death, even his family was nearly unprotected!"

"Isn’t that the truth? If it weren’t for the former War God of the Yue Family, Yue Guannan, suddenly returning, who knows, the Long and Sima families might have acted then!"

"Hiss, I had forgotten about that until you mentioned it—who would have thought the renowned War God of the Yue Family is a woman and even Yue Shifang’s sister—truly astonishing!"

"Hehe, it is indeed remarkable, but a woman is ultimately a woman. Now that the Yue Family is on the brink of collapse, she can’t hold it up alone!"

"What about the young man who led the Yue Family troops to win first place in the martial arts exhibition? How is he?"

"You mean that Xue An with unknown origins? Though he’s got a knack for training soldiers, his cultivation level is too weak, even inferior to Yue Guannan—how could he resist those covetous eyes from the outside?"

Such discussions arose one after another, with some expressing sympathy, others lamenting, and naturally some with ulterior motives, rejoicing at others’ misfortune.

In short, the atmosphere in the square was as boisterous as a marketplace.

Meanwhile, the crowd suddenly stirred, for the people of the Long and Sima families had arrived.

Long Yushu and Sima Chongzhao stood proudly, occupying a place, clearly disdainful of mingling with the others.

Their appearance caused the discussions in the crowd to quiet down considerably.

Everyone knew these two were now among the top experts in the Bing Family, and crossing them would bring no good fortune.

At this point, the families of the Gu Clan, Zhongli Family, Song Family, and others also arrived in unison.

In an instant, the tension in the crowd reached its peak.

However, the more this happened, the quieter the scene became.

Everyone obediently closed their mouths and awaited the funeral hour in silence.

Only those close to each other would stealthily stand together, silently communicating with Divine Sense.

Suddenly, the sound of a gong echoed from within the Yue Family, so desolate and mournful.

Everyone present shuddered slightly.

Following this, a uniform sound of footsteps came from the gates of the Yue Family, as a group of soldiers in mourning clothes emerged.

Once these soldiers came out, they immediately lined up on both sides, waiting silently.

This display of power caused the atmosphere to instantly become heavy.

Sima Chongzhao sneered faintly, "A mere show of ostentation!"

Long Yushu said nothing but squinted at the soldiers with a glint of greed in his eyes.

The killing aura and military might exuded by these soldiers were clearly not ordinary and elite.

If such soldiers could be used by him, the strength of the Long Family would undoubtedly rise to another level.

While these two harbored ulterior motives, a muffled drumbeat suddenly resonated from the Yue Family.

The drumbeat felt as if it was striking at everyone’s heart, suffocatingly heavy.

Many with lesser strengths visibly paled, unable to help but retreat slightly.

At that moment, a thunderous, mournful cry was heard.

"Family Head, fare well on your journey!"
