Painting of the Nine Immortals - Chapter 217

Chapter 217
The summer sun was blazing and spilling down an endless amount of light .


The mountain peak looked just like a sword that was lodged into the cloud . Surrounded by white fog, it appeared heroic and heaven like .
At the top of the mountain, four men and one woman were standing before the protective barrier Ling Xian set . They were planning to demolish it in order to gain control over this particular mountain peak .
The four young men were all wearing the same black robe . They were the newly recruited members of the Zi Yang House .
The girl was wearing a long dress in the color of moonlight . A purple cloud was stitched onto her left chest, indicating her position as an official member of the House .
At the House of Zi Yang, purple represented royalty . The more purple one has on one’s robe, the higher the position of the person .
The girl’s name was An Qing . She has just been promoted to become an official Zi Yang House sibling . Today, she was directed to pick a mountain peak as her new home, as she no longer needed to live with the rest of the recruited House members .
This was why, under the companionship of her admirers, she came to pick her own place and immediately fell in love with this particular mountain peak .
"It appears that this mountain peak has an owner already . "
An Qing was relatively attractive . Looking at the defense spell placed before her, she frowned .
"So what there’s an owner already? Look at how weak this spell is! It must be a new recruit who secretly stole this spiritual peak . The higher figures of the House aren't very strict with things like this . If someone finds out he committed a crime, he will be gravely punished . But if nobody notices that someone is living in a mountain peak in secret, he gets to live luxuriously . "
A young man with a chubby face snickered, "Fairy An, you have already broken through to the foundational level . If it weren’t for your ambition to continue cultivating, you would be named an Elder already . Do not worry . Enter this place . If the owner of this peak has a brain, he will give up his ownership . "
"That is true . "


An Qing nodded . The expression on her face was full of arrogance . To have reached the foundational level at her age categorized her as a little genius . Her talent with her relatively attractive appearance earned her high regards from Elders, infatuation from male cultivators, and jealousy from female cultivators .
Because of this, her personality turned rather obstinate .
"That’s right . Since Fairy An has her eyes on this mountain peak, who would dare not give it to you . "
The chubby-faced man smiled deviously, not at all aware that his hunger for her affection made her feel disgusted . The only reason she kept him around was to take advantage of his love and use him as a servant .
"He is right . Fairy An is strong and powerful and is the future superstar of the Zi Yang House . Who would dare to offend you?"
"Exactly . Look at how weak this defense spell is . It’s obvious that the owner of this is weak as well and cannot take a hit . Just seize this place . Even if he gets mad, he won’t have the guts to tell anyone . "
The rest of the young men chimed in .
Hearing this, An Qing became even more proud . Her heavily made up face could no longer conceal the arrogance she possessed . It was obvious that she was an unfriendly woman that many detest .
"What are you waiting for then? Are you planning on letting me break this useless obstacle?" An Qing pointed at them and shouted .
"Ay, please wait a second Fairy An . I will blow this wide open!"
The chubby-faced man responded . He then summoned all his spiritual energy and attacked the defensive spell!
Doooom!


A loud rumble rung and the defensive spell was broken .
This protective barrier was casually cast by Ling Xian . Though he set it without much thought, it was still a barrier that a ninth level cultivator could not break . However, after two months of wind and rain, the spell has lost 90 percent of its original strength . Now it was only equivalent to a spiritual level of two or three .

This was why the chubby guy was able to smash it open with one hit . This easy breakthrough made others believe the owner was a thief who secretly claimed this place .
"Fairy An, this way . "
After breaking the barrier, the chubby man was ecstatic . He extended one arm and asked An Qing to go in first .
"Not bad, you have improved," An Qing complimented and marched forward towards the entrance door .
"Hehe, it’s because the owner of this place is far too weak . Just from the barrier alone, one can tell how he can be killed with just one hit . " the chubby man laughed . Others followed their steps .
When the group of them reached the entrance, they found another defensive spell cast in front of the door . It was as weak as the one they just broke .
"Fairy An, please step away . I can handle this . " The chubby one volunteered .
However, just as he was about to make another attack, an angry but calm voice rippled through the air .
"To enter this mountain peak without permission from the owner himself, you sure do not put me in your eyes . "
In the next moment, the door automatically opened and a crazy amount of wind rolled out .
In the wind, a white shadow stepped forward .
It was Ling Xian .
Originally, he was about to ask Feng Qing Ming about a concept he did not understand regarding arrays . But he suddenly felt that the barriers he set were being attacked . Therefore, he walked out of the Painting of the Nine Immortals .
"Have any of you been taught what respect is? Even though you know someone has claimed this peak, you still try to seize it . You really don’t think anything of me," Ling Xian’s expression was emotionless, but his voice carried a dense rage .
Anyone would’ve acted the same .
If you were relaxing at home in peace and someone busted the door open, would you not be angry?
"Hehe, fella, don’t spew such useless things . Since you voluntarily walked out, then you saved me the trouble of looking for you . F*ck off right now . Fairy An wants this place," the chubby man sneered .
"Fairy An?"
Ling Xian frowned . Noticing the only woman in the group, he said, "I am guessing you are the Fairy An he is speaking about . "
"That’s right . Little guy, I have my eyes on this place . Get the f*ck out of here . " An Qing’s face was incredibly haughty .
"How amusing . You first break into my home, then you behave so contemptuously . You are now even asking me to get out of my own home . Are all Zi Yang descendants so unreasonable and overbearing?" Ling Xian’s eyes turned cold as his anger grew within him .
He has never met someone as detestable as this woman . Unreasonable, insensible, preposterous, and zero traces of virtues women should possess .
"Little guy, give me less bullsh*t . Get the f*ck out right now while I am still in a good mood, or else . . "
Or else what? An Qing did not specify, but everyone there understood .
What else could it be?
Death .
"Fairy An, you sure are violent," Ling Xian snickered and mocked, "Someone like you can be called a fairy? Let’s just set aside your lack of morality and focus on your looks for a second . What are you? You don’t look like a human, but you don't look exactly like a ghost either . You are ugly to a point where others would feel sorry for you . What a hilarious joke . Fairy . . . "
"What did you say?"
An Qing’s face immediately darkened . Appearances were what women cared about the most . He could’ve said anything bad about her, but he should not have called her ugly .
But not only did Ling Xian call her ugly, he said it in a ruthless way that made her boil with rage and ignited her killer instinct .
"Goddamn . I originally wanted to spare you your life . But since you are asking for it, then I won’t be nice . Kill him for me . No… break all four of his limbs . I want him to be so overwhelmed with pain that he asks me to kill him!"
An Qing’s face was frightful as she ordered the others to attack .
Some say the most poisoned heart was a woman’s hearts . This was not a false statement at all .
Killing Ling Xian was not enough, she wanted him to suffer in agony .
This kind of woman deserved to die!
