“Stop thinking so much. Seal it.”

The voice of the Immortal of Alchemy arose from inside the Painting of the Nine Immortals. His tone was full of exclamation.

Then, five silhouettes emerged into the air. Every single silhouette mimicked the Gods who sit above the clouds: repressive and grandeur.

They were the real immortals from inside the Painting of the Nine Immortals.

Even the Untainted, who rarely shows herself, was there. Her eyes was full of lament.

The other four immortals seemed to share that emotion. They were all shaking their heads with a complex emotion in their eyes. In general, all of them looked very unusual. It became obvious that this world was not an extraordinary one.

Or else why would these five immortal all come out at the same time?

At this, Ling Xian was a little startled at first. He paid his respect, “It’s an honor.”

“No need for that.”

Fa Wu Liang gestured for him to straighten up and spoke first, “There is also no need to feel so surprised. I sensed the world, which is why I showed up.”

“I dare ask, what was that?” Ling Xian was blinking with much anticipation.

He wasn’t at all surprised at the fact that these immortals knew exactly what he was seeing. These immortals’ ability to sense unusualness was revealed back when the Immortal of Array recognized the piece of jade.

From this, it became obvious that while these immortals may not know what exactly he was doing at all times, these immortals could sense it when something they recognize comes up.

Ling Xian wasn’t surprised at that. What surprised him was that all five immortals decided to show themselves.

What did this mean?

It meant the world he just saw was nothing ordinary.

“I cannot tell you anything about that yet.”

The Ancestor of Techniques said with a smile, “All I can say is that you are very lucky to have encountered such great fortune.”

“Great fortune?”

Ling Xian grasped onto this key word. His eyes were full of passion.

Don’t forget, Fa Wu Liang was an immortal and was known as the Ancestor of Techniques. If someone like him calls it the Great Fortune, then it must be extremely valuable!

Thus why wouldn’t his heart be burning up?

“That’s right, it is a great fortune.”

Duan Shan He nodded and grinned, “Though you have many inhibition seals within you that prohibits you from many things, your luck is out of the world.”

“Haha, that is correct.”

Feng Qing Ming guffawed, “It’s not that Ling Xian is lucky. It’s that he is very careful and meticulous. He can always find things others can’t.”

“That’s right. It’s been so many years and nobody’s been able to discover the secrets regarding this city.” The Immortal of Alchemy was grinning from ear to ear, he felt very proud.

“It is merely a coincidence.”

Hearing these immortals’ compliments, Ling Xian was somewhat embarrassed. More than that though, he had high anticipation.

Based on these five immortal’s conversations and reactions, he now realized just how extraordinary that place is. It made him even more curious about that grand world.

“No matter what it is, since you encountered it, it is your fortune.” The Untainted spoke softly. Her expression remained cool and calm.

Even the moon in the sky cannot compete with her beauty.

“The Untainted is right. It’s just there is no way for you to enter right now. Even if you do enter, only death awaits.” The Ancestor of Techniques nodded softly.

“Death awaits?” Ling Xian frowned, but not at all questioning what Duan Wu Liang had said.

For one, there was no reason the Ancestor of Techniques would be lying to him. For two, if an immortal said it, then there would be no way he would be able to survive.

As he spoke, he remembered what the Immortal of Alchemy said at first. He couldn’t help but to frown, “I dare to ask, why must I seal this place?”

“It is what we discussed and agreed to do.”

The Ancestor of Techniques spoke, “There are many things that are inconvenient for us to speak to you about right now. However, you must realize one thing – this place is very important and it is related to your future and your fortune. We must keep it safe.”

“That’s right. If this entire event leaks, not only will your fortune be stolen, you may even lose your life.” The Immortal of Alchemy had a serious expression on his face.

The other three did not speak, but the determined look on their faces spoke for them.

Hearing this, Ling Xian’s heart warmed. He knew that they were thinking on his behalf.

However, he thought the world was sealed by the Guardian City and that there was no need to add an additional seal.

As if realizing what he was thinking, the Immortal of Alchemy said in a low voice, “The Guardian City alone isn’t enough to stop some greedy people. For your safety, and for the sake of your fortune, we must seal this place completely.”

“Master, by seal, you mean…?” Ling Xian frowned.

Against his questioning gaze, the Immortal of Alchemy spoke a few determined words.

“Bury the City of Sin.”

At these words, Ling Xian’s brows knitted together tighter. He didn’t think the immortals had plans to bury this city.

Leaving aside the citizens of this city, the defensive properties of this city alone is powerful enough to pose a threat to people. How could he bury it?

Remember that this was the Guardian City and all of its structures were made out of godly materials with extremely powerful defensive materials. According to ancient records, this place guarded the last inch of land for the humankind. Thus, its defensive abilities didn’t need any more explanations.

“Don’t worry, I am the Pioneer of Arrays and disabling this city’s arrays is not a hard feat.”

The Immortal of Alchemy smiled, “What is difficult is what to do with its citizens. We cannot kill them all just to fulfill our selfish needs.”

“That is truly troublesome. But I can do my best to try and relocate them.” Ling Xian frowned.

“Good. You can be in charge of relocating all the people. Immortal of Arrays, you are responsible for designing an array that can destroy the Guardian City.”

The Immortal of Alchemy spoke softly, “Finally, you must personally bury this city.”

“I understand. Do not worry, immortals.” Ling Xian nodded seriously. After hearing what the immortals had to say, he realized the importance of this whole situation.

Don’t forget, the House of Qing Ming was already getting ideas about this city. Though to him, that little House poses no threat, but what about in the future?

There is no guarantee that other strong forces would fail to discover the secrets about the City of Sin.

Therefore, for his own safety and for everyone else’s, he had to do this.

He wasn’t about to really destroy the city anyways, he merely was going to temporarily hide it and end the temptation for other forces.

“Then, do what you gotta do. Us old people are going back now.”

The Immortal of Alchemy laughed and in a flashed, returned back to the painting with the other immortals.

“This is a little troublesome. After all, I don’t really have a reason to ask the citizens to leave.”

Ling Xian frowned and could not find a good reason even after thinking about it for a while. Finally, he decided to relax and rest a night before thinking of new ideas.

What surprised him was that when he woke up the next day, trouble arrived at his front door.

A solution also appeared as a result.
