Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 1721: Chapter 1717: The Corpse Speaks

After a brief spell of dizziness, what appeared before them was an empty room.

To call it a room, it was actually more like a square box.

The floor, the walls all around, and even the ceiling were inlaid with some unknown gemstones, emitting a soft white glow.

Strangely, this room had no doors or windows, only a rhombus-shaped aperture in each of the four walls.

At this moment, all four apertures were closed, yet the room did not feel stifling.

On the contrary, the spiritual energy was surprisingly abundant.

Moreover, it wasn’t just Xue An and An Yan in the room; there were over a dozen people lying scattered on the floor.

The clothing of these people was varied, both men and women, but all without exception were in a deep sleep.

Xue An could notice that the eyelids of a few people began to twitch slightly, evidently about to awaken.

Just then, an old and weary voice came from behind.

"Oh, you two didn’t faint upon entering here?"

Xue An was slightly startled, because from the moment he stepped through that door, he had heightened his perception to the maximum, to guard against any unknown danger.

Even upon entering this room, he hadn’t detected anything unusual.

This was why he wasn’t in a rush to examine the surrounding environment, as his eyes might deceive him, but his Divine Sense would not.

Unexpectedly, a voice came from behind him. Could it be that this person’s ability to hide their presence was beyond his discernment?

In a flash of thought, Xue An turned abruptly, and saw an emaciated old man in ragged clothes standing in the corner.

The old man’s eyes had long gone blind, leaving nothing but two hollow sockets, making one feel a chill up the spine.

The old man seemed to sense Xue An’s gaze and slightly smiled, "No need to worry, I am to a large extent already dead, so it’s normal for you not to sense my presence!"

Indeed.

Xue An didn’t sense the slightest hint of life from this old man; if he closed his eyes and relied purely on Divine Sense, this would indeed appear to be a corpse.

Yet now, this supposed corpse was speaking.

Xue An’s eyebrows raised slightly.

Interesting!

Who would have thought the first person he’d meet upon entering the Abyss would be so intriguing!

Although the old man had no eyes, it was as if he could perceive the expression on Xue An’s face by some means.

"Aren’t you planning to ask anything?"

"Ask what?" Xue An said coolly.

"For instance, what place is this?"

Xue An shook his head, "No need! Since we’re already here, what’s the point in asking where it is?"

This time it was the old man’s turn to be a bit surprised. Even though he couldn’t see, he still tried hard to look in Xue An’s direction.

"Truly an odd newcomer! I haven’t seen such an interesting young person like you in a long time, really hope you can live a bit longer!"

Xue An slightly furrowed his brow, the old man was speaking in riddles!

"What do you mean? Are you suggesting that everyone who has come here before has died?"

The old man grinned, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth, and chuckled harshly.

"Smart young fellow, yes, indeed all have died! The one who lived the longest only lasted over a century before going mad and strangling himself to death!"

"What about you?" An Yan finally mustered her courage and couldn’t help but ask.

"Me? Haha, haven’t you seen? I’m already dead too!" The old man laughed even more joyfully.

An Yan was truly puzzled.

Clearly speaking, but why did this old man claim he was already dead?

Yet before she could ask further, someone on the ground groaned and then slowly opened their eyes.

A moment later, the first to awaken, a burly man, leaped up from the ground, looking warily at Xue An and An Yan.

"Who are you? Where is this place? Let me warn you, I am the Second Hall Master of the Divine Martial Hall, if you’re looking for trouble, watch out for your lives!" The burly man shouted fiercely.

Before Xue An could speak, the old man chuckled harshly, "Now this is more like it, this is the reaction a newcomer should have!"

The burly man upon hearing this finally noticed the old man standing in the corner, first stunned, and then roared with murderous intent.

"You damned old fool, who the hell are you? Did you bring me in here?"

"Such a fiery young man!" The old man showed no anger, instead laughed with great amusement,

"Hope you can maintain this state for a while! After all, it’s quite quiet here!"

"Damn it, playing tricks in front of me? You didn’t even bother to find out who I am before acting up...," the burly man abruptly flew into a rage, ready to explode.

At this moment, the old man extended a finger and gently hushed.

"Don’t rush, once everyone wakes up, I’ll tell you where this is!"

Speaking, he grinned down at the people on the floor, "Alright, since everyone’s waking up, let’s not waste time!"

The commotion had already awakened those lying on the floor.

But some were deep schemers, pretending to sleep even though they had long woken up.

Only after hearing the old man’s words did they finally open their eyes, rising with somber expressions, and began to survey the surroundings.

No one spoke, and everyone’s gaze was quite hostile.

Because no one knew what was going on!

"Old man, where exactly is this place?" the burly man shouted angrily.

"Where is this place, do none of you really know?"

Some people’s faces changed.

The old man cackled sharply, "Exactly, this is the Abyss!"

"You’re lying! How could this be the Abyss?" a woman in the crowd immediately refuted.

"Indeed, the true Abyss is where the gods reside, how could it be such a strange place?" a young man said with fervor.

The old man spread his hands, "Believe it or not, this is indeed the Abyss, but as to which part of the Abyss, I do not know!"

"Then how did we suddenly end up here?" someone else in the crowd asked, this time it was a man with a vicious gaze.

"Yeah, I was clearly in seclusion cultivating in my sect, how did I suddenly appear here? Was it your doing?"

"Yes, I also fell asleep and found myself here!"

For a moment, emotions ran high, and people stared at the old man with hostile eyes.

Only a very few remained calm and silent throughout.

The old man was not offended, instead smiling as he said, "Do you think if I brought you here, I would still allow you to wake up?"

This sentence quickly silenced the noisy crowd.

Indeed!

If this blind old man wanted to kill them, he would have done so while they were unconscious, why wait until they woke up?
