Painting of the Nine Immortals
chapter-800

In order for the seven Sects and 18 Houses to regain some of the face they lost and in order for Ling Xian’s name to stink for centuries, the forces twisted the truth to tarnish his reputation. How shameless was this?

It was extremely shameless!

Therefore, Ling Xian attacked without thinking twice and was completely ruthless in order to deliver a strong attack to the Sects and Houses!

Within seven days, he had turned 53 important locations upside down, which astonished the entirety Yuezhou!

Those were 53 highly guarded and valuable locations.

Just who has such overbearing capability to destroy them all within a week? This intense fighting ability was something not even someone from the fifth level can deliver.

The meaning behind this whole ordeal was also shocking!

Remember that these were the seven Sects and 18 Houses!

In Yuezhou, these 25 forces are like Gods who controlled everything. Nobody dares to provoke them. Yet before their eyes, a strange powerhouse destroyed 53 important locations to them. What was this about?

Wasn’t the intention of this to hurt their foundation and slap their naked faces?!

Therefore, why wouldn’t the citizens of Yuezhou be shocked at this?

Ever since they have been alive, they have never seen anyone who dared to butt heads against the Sects and Houses. Let alone provoking them single-handedly and declaring war!

When the common thread of these destructions – the three words – became public information, everyone’s shock turned into fear.

The Demonic Highness!

These words, in Yuezhou, represented a terrifying monster and represented a taboo that everyone was terrified of!

Yet before their eyes, a mysterious and strange powerhouse used this nickname to provoke the Sects and Houses. This created much overthinking amongst the forces.

Is someone pretending to be the Demonic Highness and challenging the seven Sects and 18 Houses, or… is it the Demonic Highness himself?

The former was likely, the latter was basically impossible.

After all, Ling Xian’s death was confirmed. Even God has sent signals that confirmed his death. How could he go against God’s will and revive?

However, everyone could only guess. One thing was for sure though, and that is the fact that the person who destroyed all 53 important locations was someone who didn’t like the forces’ actions.

He wasn’t alone. Many people in Yuezhou didn’t like it.

After all, many people were there when it happened and knew that the Demonic Highness was the victim and that the forces were the petty ones!

Therefore, when the news of Ling Xian destroying 53 locations within seven days passed around, many people cheered him on.

“Haha, well done! Within seven days, 53 locations were destroyed. This sure is domineering!”

“Not only so, but it’s also like a God amongst the mortals. He is incredibly aggressive!”

“I haven’t liked the seven Sects and 18 Houses for a long time. They were being such b!tches and they tried to turn the table, disgusting!”

“They are extremely shameless! They dared to claim the Demonic Highness was the one who tried to steal treasures. They might as well have made the claim that all the treasures were from their Sects and Houses to begin with!”

“Blarg! They are far too shameless. Not only did they twist the truth, but they also sent descendants to brainwash the people in Yuezhou. I cannot even describe their shamelessness.”

But as much as they cheered, they had some worries.

The enemies were the seven Sects and 18 Houses after all!

Though after the battle 10 years ago, their Qi has been greatly wounded – a skinny camel is still larger than a horse. Any one of the forces from the Sects and Houses could not be challenged by a regular cultivator. They were also allies in this.

To put it bluntly, when the Sects and Houses link forces, they can dominate the world!

Therefore, after learning about their land being destroyed, the different forces were infuriated. All of them stepped out and shouted.

“Are you f!cking with us? The Demonic Highness is dead. Even if he did come back to life, we can kill him again!”

“I don’t care who you are, you provoke the Sheng Xuan Sect, you die!”

“My Bei Do House is also not to be taken advantage of. Don’t let me find you. If I do, I will make sure you die in pieces!”

“The Yao Ji House has existed for hundreds of thousands of years and it is the first time someone has provoked me. I limit you to admit your guilt and pay a visit to my palace within three days. Or else, I will blow you to pieces!”

Every single Sect and House jumped out. As the controlling forces of Yuezhou, they have always been top of the food chain. When have they been the victim of provocation?

No, to put it more clearly, this was no provocation. This was being slapped in the face!

To them, this was extremely humiliating. Therefore, the seven Sects and 18 Houses vowed to find the killer and make him pay the price!

This was why everyone felt that a storm will soon arrive and wash over the entire Yuezhou.

…

As Yuezhou once again fell into astonishment because of Ling Xian’s actions, the originator of this entire situation was acting like this was no big deal. He was drinking casually inside a bar.

The alcohol was great. The person was happy.

Ling Xian had a soft smile on his lips. Like an immortal, he casually enjoyed the drink in his hand.

Ru Yu sat across from him. Her large dark eyes were staring right at him without blinking. They were full of respect and curiosity.

If one has to name the person who knows the most about these acts of destruction, that person would be without a doubt, her.

Though she has never personally witnessed anything, her instinct and her intelligence allowed her to catch up to Ling Xian.

In other words, she was always the first to see the bloody scenes.

Though now, she was very much afraid of Ling Xian, more than fear, she was curious.

She was very curious as to why this handsome young man would fight on the Demonic Highness’ behalf.

“Your Highness, you are so great. You are up against the seven Sects and 18 Houses and yet you dare to attack directly. This is unprecedented.” Ru Yu’s face was full of admiration. It was like she was looking at a God.

“I merely destroyed 53 pieces of land.” Ling Xian’s expression was calm and not at all proud.

His at-ease expression in Ru Yu’s eyes only made her admire him more.

“You have followed me for seven whole days. You should stop.”

Ling Xian sipped his alcohol. Once again, his relaxed and casual look made him look like an immortal.

Anyone who sees him would compliment him and say he is smooth like jade and clean like a flower. Nobody would be able to form the link between this man here and the monster who killed all those people and destroyed all those land.

Even Ru Yu, who knew how terrifying he could be, found it hard to make the connection.

“It’s not that I HAVE to follow you. I am just curious. I wonder if you are going to face the Sects and Houses head-on.” Ru Yu’s face was red. She was an unmarried young girl. To so shamelessly follow a man was a little out there.

“I won’t.”

Ling Xian shook his head. Maybe the 18 Houses… but amongst the seven Sects were cultivators of the fifth level. Of course, he won’t go feed them himself.

Hearing this, Ru Yu’s beautiful face looked disappointed. She mumbled, “I thought you would go find them and clean them out.”

“That joke isn’t funny.”

Ling Xian said softly, “What do you think the seven Sects and 18 Houses are? Do you think they are merely of the meditational level? Even those of the fifth level cannot kill them all.”

“That’s true. To have been able to uproot 53 pieces of their land is already heaven-defying.” Ru Yu’s eyes were full of admiration, “I wonder how you are going to respond to the Sects and Houses’ threat?”

“Easy, three words.”

Ling Xian softly smiled. Then, he stood up straight and walked out of the restaurant.

Then, a dominating statement soon reached every corner of Yuezhou.

“Continue to kill!”
