Painting of the Nine Immortals Chapter 700 - The Secret of the City of Sin

In the sky, Ling Xian’s black hair was draped down freely and his white robe was dyed with blood. Like the leader of demons, his killer’s intent was shocking.

Yet his demon-like composure did not generate any fear in the citizens of the City of Sin. To them, Ling Xian was not a demon, but a protective G.o.d!

He protected the City of Sin and protected everyone from harm.

Therefore, the entire City of Sin was boiling. Their cheering was howling like the ocean, shocking the sky.

Everyone was cheering crazily as if expressing their joy of escaping death, as well as applauding their undefeatable leader.

All gazes were fixated on Ling Xian. They were staring with respect and fanaticism as if looking at a G.o.d.

“It’s over.”

Hearing everyone’s cheering, Ling Xian revealed a relaxed smile. The anger in his heart disappeared at once.

Elder Lan had died. This meant all the invaders have been killed. Naturally, his anger disappeared and he relaxed.

“All six people have been kill by me. This means I have avenged Chu Zhong Tian.” Ling Xian had a smile on his lips and his entire temperament changed.

If he was the demonic demon just then with his killer’s intent invading everyone, then the him now was similar to the boy next door. Utterly harmless.

His drastic transformation was all because fury overtook him.

Very quickly, however, he remembered how Elder Lan kept on talking about the Qing Ming House. He couldn’t help but frown.

Though there were no original leveled cultivators in the Qing Ming House, it was still a House with some resources. Now that he had killed six completion leveled powerhouses, he had gained another enemy.

Thus, he was not about to be reckless. However, he also wasn’t afraid. It was merely an unranked House, if they push him too much, he will just flip their House inside out!

“Hopefully their Supreme Headmaster is a smart person and do not come to anger me.”

Ling Xian had a smile on his face that was hard to understand. He then mumbled, “don’t make me use my butcher knife and kill everything in sight.”

Then, in a flash, he leaped and landed on top of the city’s wall.

Silently calling out, the array that protects the city once again appeared. The translucent light engulfed the entire city and while it looked like it could burst under a poke, its defensive abilities had just been tested.

First, the five completion leveled cultivators couldn’t defeat it. Then, Elder Lan’s mysterious array board couldn’t harm it.

That was enough to prove how capable the defensive array was!

The reality was that there were some cracks in this barrier that normal people couldn’t see. Only Ling Xian could see it.

After all, the five completion leveled cultivators weren’t good for nothing. Elder Lan was also an array master. Under their repet.i.tive attacks, it was a miracle that this array could last until now. How was it possible that it was utterly unharmed?

“Thank G.o.d I was smart and set up an array before leaving. Or else Chu Zhong Tian would’ve died, and the city would’ve fallen under the Qing Ming House.”

Ling Xian was proud of his intelligence and felt fortunate that he set up this array back then. Observing the cracks in the barrier, he faintly grinned, “It’s somewhat damaged, but it’s not a big deal.”

Then, he formed a hand seal and decided to repair the cracks using methods recorded on the Immortal of Array’s inheritance.

Rays of spiritual energy from Heaven and Earth dashed towards him. After pa.s.sing through his hands, they transformed into mysterious powers. Then, they covered up the cracks and repaired the array.

After about 15 minutes, the cracks have been healed. The entire screen also was acting lively again as the light it emitted intensified.

This once again garnered everyone’s cheers. The way they looked at Ling Xian turned even more heated.

“Alright, the invaders were defeated and the array has been repaired. It’s time for me to pay Zhong Tian a visit.”

Ling Xian smiled and headed towards the leader’s palace.

Seeing that he was on the move, every citizen in the city bowed down to pay respect to the leader in their hearts. Then all sorts of respectful sayings left their lips.

“Thank you, commander!”

Thousands of people all shouted in unison, startling the sky and the earth with their respect.

It was obvious that Ling Xian’s actions had conquered the citizens and made them forget Chu Zhong Tian.

“Commander?”

Ling Xian softly smiled. Like a shooting star, he disappeared after mere seconds.

When he appeared again, he was already at Chu Zhong Tian’s residence.

After seeing him, Huang Er jogged over, “Congratulations master, for defeating all the enemies. You truly are the reincarnation of the G.o.d of Warrior and are undefeatable.”

“There is no need to flatter me so much. You know my personality.” Ling Xian shook his head. Now that all the enemies were gone, his mood improved a ton.

“Of course, of course.”

Huang Er nodded and continued, “You are gracious and do not like hearing my praises. But I am saying these things because I mean them.”

“If you say any more words, I will slap you.” Ling Xian glared at him.

Huang Er snickered, his eyes flickered with excitement and pa.s.sion.

After personally witnessing the six completion leveled cultivators being slain by Ling Xian, he was utterly shocked. But he now even more firmly believe that the best decision he’s made in his lifetime was to follow this young man.

Chu Zhong Tian felt the same.

Originally, he admitted Ling Xian as his leader because Ling Xian avenged him. But deep inside, he felt a little wronged.

After all, he was also a completion leveled cultivator.

Yet now, after seeing Ling Xian defeating five completion leveled cultivators in a few short minutes, he no longer felt that way. Instead, he felt like following a multi-talented Heaven’s Favorite, his future will be bright as well!

“Zhong Tian, how are your injuries?”

Ling Xian felt too lazy to pay more attention to the smiling Huang Er. He walked to Chu Zhong Tian’s bed and asked.

“Thanks to you, I am pretty much fine. I just need some time to rest and recover,” Ling Xian said with a smile, his breathing was no longer weak like before.

“Very good.”

Ling Xian smiled in satisfaction, “I have made those who hurt you pay with their lives. You can be rest a.s.sured of that.”

“Thank you for avenging me.”

Chu Zhong Tian’s eyes were flickering with appreciation. He was heavily wounded back then. If it weren’t for Ling Xian, he might not have survived.

Thus, why wouldn’t he be thankful?

“You work for me. Of course, I need to have your back.” Ling Xian smiled. His words were steady and stern.

Huang Er and Hong Zhong Tian’s eyes turned red. They confirmed once again that the best decision they made in this life was to follow this young man.

“Right, master, the thing you wanted me to investigate… I have some findings.” Chu Zhong Tian suddenly remembered about the secrets regarding the City of Sin.

“Findings?”

Ling Xian’s spirit lifted and high expectations instantly filled his eyes.
