Xue An stared at him coldly.
It was only at this moment that Wan Gaoxing’s entourage seemed to awaken from a dream.
"Young master!"
"Young master, I’ll save you!"
Amid these shouts, the entourage attempted to rush forward.
Xue An didn’t even turn his head, merely saying indifferently, "If any of you take one more step, his head will be saying goodbye to his body!"
Their footsteps halted abruptly, and Wan Gaoxing cried out hysterically, "You fools! Who told you to come forward? Step back, all of you! Without my order, no one is to take another step!"
The entourage froze collectively, then Wan Gaoxing forced a sycophantic smile toward Xue An.
"S-sir, does this satisfy you now?"
Xue An nodded slightly. "You’re cooperative."
Humiliation and hatred surged in Wan Gaoxing’s heart, but his smile became even more obsequious.
"Sir, I believe there must be some misunderstanding between us! What we need most now is to sit down and have a good talk, not resort to violence! Don’t you agree?"
"Talk? About what? How?" Xue An replied indifferently.
"Sir, judging by your demeanor, you must have come from another plane. Whatever your purpose, you’ll surely need information about this world, right? I can provide it all to you. What do you think?" Wan Gaoxing said with a face full of sincerity.
Xue An studied him for a moment, then responded calmly, "You’re clever."
Wan Gaoxing’s eyes lit up, sensing he had made the right bet. He quickly added with a laugh, "Moreover, I am the young master of the Wan Clan, a prominent figure in this world. Our clan prides itself on connecting with heroes far and wide. I assure you, if you spare me, not only will you gain valuable information, but also the friendship of the Wan Clan! With that, whatever you wish to do will become much easier. Don’t you agree?"
Ying Ning and the others’ expressions shifted.
Even they couldn’t deny that Wan Gaoxing’s proposal was tempting.
"That really does sound promising."
Wan Gaoxing secretly exhaled in relief, his smile deepening. "Of course..."
But before he could continue, Xue An chuckled coldly, "But I don’t agree!"
Xue An spoke leisurely, "The information I want, I can acquire just the same after killing you. Why go through the trouble of asking you?"
Wan Gaoxing’s face turned ashen, his lips trembling. "You..."
"Besides..." Xue An leaned down, whispering softly into Wan Gaoxing’s ear, "It’s the ruler of this realm I’m after."
Hearing this, Wan Gaoxing’s eyes filled with boundless terror.
This Human Clan powerhouse was here for the ruler of this world!
What was he planning?
Could it be...
A whirlwind of thoughts flooded Wan Gaoxing’s mind, leaving him completely dumbstruck.
Meanwhile, Xue An’s grip tightened gradually.
Although the Ghost Race’s bodies were drastically different from those of the Human Clan and could remain intact even with a severed head,
in Xue An’s hands, things weren’t that simple.
Wan Gaoxing felt all connections between himself and the outside world being severed one by one. The sensation was eerily similar to suffocating.
This terrified Wan Gaoxing to no end.
He knew full well that if this continued, he might truly die—utter obliteration, body and soul.
Desperately mustering all his strength, he roared, "What are you all waiting for?! Kill him for me!"
His entourage, despite being shaken to the core, had no other choice. Their very lives were tightly bound to the Wan Clan. If Wan Gaoxing died, they wouldn’t survive either. Gritting their teeth, they charged forward to fight Xue An to the death.
The sight almost made Wan Gaoxing’s eyes pop out of their sockets—though that may also have been due to his nearing the brink of collapse.
"What?" Wan Gaoxing froze, then summoned the last of his strength to sneer, "I know what you’re thinking. You plan to kill me and then flee. Well, let me tell you—it’s useless! If I die, my family will know instantly, and the karmic mark will attach itself to you. There’s no escaping it! Hahaha!"
