Painting of the Nine Immortals

Chapter 416: Running Away

Translator: _Tat_ Editor: Fish_Creek

The Sunset was like blood, eerily beautiful.

Ling Xian's hands were in fists as he ordered the eight dragons to sway their tails and give the Second Elder a hard time!

This scene was far too astonishing. Enough to shock everyone here and cause them to stare blankly.

"Dammit!"

The Second Elder was going insane. He was the leader of the Bai Clan and one of the most powerful people of the Trading Island. When had he been played like this? How could he not be infuriated?

However, he also knew very well that being angry was useless. The situation was clear. He was no opponent of the combination of Ling Xian and the Heavenly Array. Escaping alone was a luxury.

"I cannot keep on doing this. Even if I am pained by this, I have to do it."

The Second Elder clenched his teeth and no longer hesitated. He then threw up his most valued gold board into the sky and formed a hand seal. Then, he uttered out a cold word.

"Explode!"

After an angry order, the round board turned bright and immediately exploded. In an instant, the terrifying Qi swept across and destructed one of the gold dragons!

"Let's go!"

Timing it carefully, the Second Elder threw Ling Xian a venomous look and turned into a ray of light that escaped the trap of the array.

The other elder used this opportunity to run away as well.

"Running away?"

Ling Xian revealed a cold smirk. His hands formed another seal that ordered the seven remaining dragons to surround them.

Seeing this, the Second Elder saw no other way and decided to use his Golden Dan! This helped destroy another dragon. Then, he used a prohibited spell to fight against another dragon. After these attacks, he aged a few decades and became very weak.

Luckily, his efforts did not go to waste. He finally grasped onto a chance and disappeared into the sky.

Seeing this, the other elder wanted to copy what he had done. He too, wanted to use his Golden Dan as a last resort. But sadly, after what happened just now, why would Ling Xian let him go?

"Go to hell!"

After a cold hiss, Ling Xian's 10 fingers intertwined and formed into another mysterious spell. Instantly, the six dragons became intertwined and flew through the elder's chest!

The next second, the elder's eyes widened and he fell from the sky – no longer breathing.

This scene once again astonished everyone!

All gazes were placed onto Ling Xian with dashes of disbelief. However, as much as they were shocked, The O Yang Clan was beyond happy at the fact that they survived.

They knew that the moment Second Elder ran away, the Bai Clan's plan had failed. Meaning that the O Yang Clan had won and though they were greatly hurt, they kept the Clan from going extinct!

The O Yang Clan also knew very well that today's victory was mostly thanks to Ling Xian. It was him, who stepped out and saved the entire O Yang Clan!

Thus, after moments of nothing, every single O Yang descendant began to focus on Ling Xian with thick appreciation and respect. The O Yang leader especially. He was saved by Ling Xian once already and he was about to be saved again. He naturally felt appreciative.

"Master Xian, I do not want to say too many words of thanks." Leader O Yang quickly walked up and bowed down to Ling Xian, "In the future, if you ever need us, speak out and we will not decline!"

"As long as I have that promise from you." Ling Xian grinned then quickly sighed, "It is a pity that the Second Elder ran away."

"It doesn't matter. To have saved my Clan is already very fortunate of us." The O Yang Clan Leader revealed a faint smile, "After all, so what he ran away? All the completion levelled cultivators have died. Going back means he will be solo. It is not enough to fear."

"Yes, he used his Golden Dan and displayed another prohibited spell. I am guessing that his capabilities have fallen by at least 30 percent." Ling Xian's lips curled up.

He original plan was to save a few completion levelled cultivators in order to increase the capability of his alliance. But now, by lending a helping hand, he had saved the entire Clan. This glory had far exceeded his original expectation, how could he not be satisfied?

To know that there were 12 completion levelled powerhouses and he killed 11 of them. How unbelievable was this?

The result was glorious!

Though this achievement was contributable to the O Yang Leader and the descendants' effort to stop the invaders, and to the power of the array, Ling Xian was the key in today's war. If he didn't have such dominating capabilities and such deep knowledge of arrays, the O Yang Clan would've been long destroyed.

This means the victory is mainly brought by Ling Xian!

In other words, he has saved the entire O Yang Clan!

Thus, how could they not be appreciative? Now, statements of appreciation were flying around along with compliments.

They were all about how capable Master Xian was and how he had multi-talented. In general, they were saying all things sweet and nice.

But one thing was for sure. They weren't wrong and they weren't exaggerating. Ling Xian was a rightful owner of the compliments.

"Okay, stop flattering me." Ling Xian shook his head. Then, the eight array boards flew before the O Yang Leader, "The war is over. The Array should be returned to its owner."

"Thank you, Master Xian, for fixing this array for us." O Yang Leader placed the boards into his storage pouch. When he remembered how Ling Xian freely ordered around the dragons, he felt somewhat troubled.

This troubling feeling was because the Awakening Seal. Remember that he was the leader of the O Yang Clan and he did not know of the seal. Yet Ling Xian, an outsider, used it. How ironic was this? How could he not feel bad about it?

"You have been kind, O Yang Leader."

Ling Xian grinned and glanced across the battleground that was full of corpses. He then asked, "I am somewhat tired. I wonder if you can help me find a place to stay at?"

"Of course I can." Leader O Yang nodded hastily. He then summoned someone over and ordered him to bring Ling Xian to the most luxurious guest house.

"Leader, I am guessing that you have a lot to deal with after such a large battle. How about this, in three days, I will go to you to discuss some matter. What do you think?"

"No problem. I will go tomorrow morning." O Yang Leader quickly accepted.

"Okay, then I will wait for your arrival." Ling Xian smiled and walked on.

As he began his walk, O Yang Leader shouted from behind. Then, the rest of the O Yang Clan shouted as well. Their voices were full of respect and appreciation. The shouts rose one after another and disturbed all nine heavens!

"Thank you, Master Xian!"
