Painting of the Nine Immortals - Chapter 695

Chapter 695: 695
The City of Sin was located near the border of Yuezhou and connected Yuezhou to Yunzhou .



This city has been known to be chaotic for all of its existence . However, after the arrival of an unnamed man a decade ago, the city became regulated and lawful . At the very least, it was a lot more peaceful compared to before .

Most people were happy to see this . Therefore, they were all very loyal and protective of the unnamed man's subordinate, the leader of the city, Chu Zhong Tian .

Under his ruling, the City of Sin was improving every day . The majority of the population could be found smiling on most days .

However, everything changed three days ago .

Out of nowhere, five completion leveled cultivators came to the city . All of their battling capabilities were extraordinary and the moment they appeared, they announced that they planned on taking over the city .

Chu Zhong Tian of course was not going to let this happen . Sadly, he was fighting solo and was not powerful enough to stand up against all five of them . He was heavily wounded at once .

If he didn't display his last ace card, then he would've died a while ago . Even the City of the Sin would be in the enemies' hands by now .

This was all thanks to Ling Xian .

Even though he was not at the City of Sin and basically was not in charge of anything that was going on in the city, before he left, he built a powerful array .

It was thanks to this array that Chu Zhong Tian was able to escape and temporarily stop the group of people .

However, despite the powerfulness of this array, Chu Zhong Tian still sustained heavy injuries . The invaders were all strong and the array would not hold on much longer .



This was why these days, the citizens of the City of Sin were living in fear . They all felt grey clouds hanging over their head, making everyone feel desperate .

Under this terrifying atmosphere, many people made the decision to leave the City of Sin . However, many others chose to stay and battle with Chu Zhong Tian till the very end .

While their willingness deserved praises, based on the situation, the chances of saving the City of Sin was next to none .

What could they do? The invaders were far too powerful . At least to the people in the City of Sin, they were almost impossible to defeat .

Currently, the Sun was hanging high in the sky .

Inside a tent in the rural area of the City of Sin, five people with terrifying demeanor were sitting in a circle and discussing how to destroy the array .

To them, the array was troublesome . They didn't think that at a place as isolated as the City of Sin, would exist such a powerful array .

"I cannot believe there is such a complex array inside the City of Sin . " A grey haired elder sighed .

"That's true . "

An elder in a black robe nodded and exclaimed, "Even though this array is not of the godly level, it's not far from it . I don't know who set it up . "


"Based on the information I have, up until 12 years ago, there was no protective array inside the City of Sin . It wasn't until the three original forces were defeated and when Chu Zhong Tian took over, did this array appear . "



The elder in white frowned and analyzed, "We have battled against Chu Zhong Tian and he doesn't seem like someone who knows anything about arrays . If it were him, he wouldn't have tried to fight me in the beginning . He should've activated the array in the beginning . "

"In other words, there is someone behind Chu Zhong Tian who is the true array master . It is very possible that he is the one behind everything . " The elder in black frowned, feeling troubled .

"Hmmph, I don't care who it is that is operating behind Chu Zhong Tian . To me, everyone is an ant . " A female elder hissed . Her wrinkled face appeared very proud .

"It is also not the time to be complimenting the person who set up the array . "

The elderly woman used her cane to hit the ground . In a cold voice, she continued, "What we need to be thinking about is how to break the array . Don't forget, the order came from above . We have to take over the City of Sin within 10 years . Three days have already passed . "

Hearing this, the other four silenced .

They wanted to take over the City of Sin as well, but none of them were array masters and they could not figure out ways to break the array . In other words, all they could do was to try and break it with brute force .

That array was far too dominating . Even with the power of all five of them, there was no way for them to defeat the array within a short amount of time .

Thus, what could they do?

"Hmmph!"

The old woman coldly hissed again, "I know the array is powerful and it's hard to break it in a short period of time . But, I believe that if we strike it enough, the array will be depleted of energy . "

"That's right . "

A middle aged man spoke slowly and his pale face snickered, "It's merely an array . It's dead . I believe we can smash it into pieces if we continue to attack it . "

"That's right . We all are completion leveled powerhouses here . We are not going to be stopped by a small array . "

The elder woman had a look of disdain . "I also don't care if Chu Zhong Tian actually has someone working behind him . Whoever comes my way dies . "

Hearing this, the other two elders nodded . Their expressions turned arrogant as well .

They merely thought the array was a little complex but they never thought too much about the City of Sin . With their capabilities, they could take over 10 cities that are the size of the City of Sin .

Seeing the other two nod, the elderly woman grinned . "Let's go . I can't wait to break the array . "

Then, she marched forward and headed towards the city center .

However, just as she stepped forward one step, she suddenly heard a calm statement carried over from afar .

"There is no need . I have arrived . There is no more need for you to attack anymore . "

At that statement, a giant wave of power descended down, making the five of them perspire .

Looking at the man in blue, fear flashed across everyone's face . They quickly paid their respect, "Elder Lan . "

"Stand up . "

Elder Lan glared at them and scolded with blame, "You are all useless . You spent so much time here and you couldn't even take over the City of Sin . The House has wasted all its resource on you . "

Hearing these, the group was a little angry, but they didn't dare to argue .

For one, this person had better capabilities . For two, this person was in a higher position . Therefore, they could only suppress their anger .

"Hmmph, useless!"

Elder Lan sneered . His attitude composed only of coldness and pride . He glanced around and everyone lowered their head in response . Nobody dared to exchange glances with him .

"When I came, I checked out that array . It is a little difficult, but to me, it is nothing . "

Elder Lan smiled arrogantly, "Now, I am going to destroy the array . You wait for me here . When I'm done, you will help me take over the city . "

Then, he ignored the group who was now bowing towards him and walked out .

At this, the five of them sighed in relief . Though they only spoke a few words, the terror of this man had stabbed them deeply . They couldn't help but shudder from the cold .

They exchanged glances and saw the anger in each other's eyes and the relief that they were now saved .

Though Elder Lan was rude, they had to admit that the man was really capable . Therefore, they felt like as long as he steps out, the City of Sin would for sure be dealt with .

Just as this man arrived at the City of Sin, Ling Xian had also quietly arrived .
