Painting of the Nine Immortals-Chapter 917 - Fighting on Behalf of
Translator: _Tat_ Editor: Rundi
The Wang Clan was a prominent Clan out in the east domain.
It is the home to countless powerhouses and was considered one of the most powerful controlling forces of the East Domain. Out of the entire Tianzhou, it was a Clan of monstrous size and ability.
Therefore, Ling Xian had predicted that Gong Suo Xin’s plan will not go that smoothly. Even if a fifth level cultivator helps her, she cannot so easily avenge.
Therefore, after getting Gong Suo Xin’s message, Ling Xian didn’t think twice before heading to where she was with Huang Jiu Ge.
The guards of the palace she was in was slapped away by him in one go.
After coming here, Ling Xian realized that things were not as severe as he had imagined. At the very least, Gong Suo Xin was standing there unharmed and uninjured.
He breathed a sigh of relief at this. Then, he glanced around the palace.
There were two elders sitting at the very far end, one of them was grey-haired and wore a black robe. His round eyes were furious and there was heavy, dense energy around him. The palace felt cold due to his presence.
The other one was grey-haired and wore a white robe. His expression was calm and he appeared sage-like
Around these two elders stood more than 10 people. Without an exception, they all emitted Qi of the original level. It appears that they were all higher levels of the Wang Clan.
When they saw Ling Xian, who marched into the palace, other than Gong Suo Xin and the elder in a white robe, everyone else frowned. They didn’t look friendly.
However, they weren’t surprised by this.
It was obvious that they all knew Gong Suo Xin asked Ling Xian to come.
“Xin Er, this is the handsome fella you were talking about?”
The white-robed elder asked with a smile and checked out Ling Xian doubtfully. When he sensed the capability of the person standing before him, he appeared surprised.
“Yes, third grandpa, this is the person I have chosen to fight on my behalf.” Gong Suo Xin smiled.
“Fight on your behalf?”
Ling Xian frowned. He asked with his soul, “What is this?”
“Third grandpa got my back so the Clan Leader has to take a step back. However, they asked for one condition, and that is to have the new leader defeat others of the same generation. In other words, I have to defeat everyone in the younger generation of the Wang Clan.”
Gong Suo Xin explained the situation using the simplest words.
“Then you should be the one fighting. Why me?” Ling Xian frowned.
“I am merely of the foundational level, how do I fight?”
Gong Suo Xin’s eyes rolled, “So, we came to an agreement. As long as the person of my choice can defeat everyone else, then I can take the seat of the Clan Leader. The person of my choice has to be of the original level.”
Pausing, she continued, “Out of everyone who’s willing to help me, you are the best candidate and the most powerful one. So, I chose you.”
Ling Xian understands now.
Basically, Gong Suo Xin and the current Clan Leader have been fighting and nobody was willing to compromise. Because she is the true daughter of the last leader and now that the third grandpa has got her back, the Clan Leader chose to take a step back.
The condition for taking this step back is that Gong Suo Xin has to choose an original leveled cultivator to defeat all the younger generation of the Wang Clan. Only so will she be granted the seat of the Clan Leader.
In other words, Ling Xian became a critical point. He will now determine who will become the newest Clan Leader of the Wang Clan.
This made him shake his head and smile. He didn’t expect himself, an outsider, to somehow become the key to determining the next most important figure of the Wang Clan.
Of course, he wasn’t going to say no.
Gong Suo Xin had risked her life for him once. She was having some trouble now, why would Ling Xian say no?
Therefore, he was too lazy to speak. He merely stepped forward and made a powerful statement
“Here I am, all those who don’t think highly of me can come and fight me.”
Everyone was surprised at this.
Then, Gong Suo Xin smiled. “The man of my choosing should be this dominating.”
“Haha, not bad, I like it!”
Third grandpa laughed out loud and looked at Ling Xian praisingly.
However, the others’ eyes turned colder, particularly the elder in black. His expression was dimmer and darker now as he continued to coldly smile. “You fella do not know how high the sky is. You dare to interfere with the Wang Clan’s matter. You need to be careful.”
“This is… a threat?”
Ling Xian raised an eyebrow, “Honestly, I am not afraid of you Wang Clan.”
“Young man, you are seeking death.”
The elder in black’s expression was cloudy as murky energy began to pour out of him. Like a beast awakening, his energy was terrifying enough to shake people’s hearts.
However, the third grandpa blocked it. He coldly snickered, “Are you breaking your promise?”
“Hmmph!”
Coldly hissing, the elder in black called off his Qi and said in a low voice, “A mere ant without achievements… you can randomly pick a descendent from my Clan and he can easily squish this guy to death.”
“Alright. I sure want to see how your descendent can kill me.”
Ling Xian’s lips carried some taunting and coldness. He glanced around, “Stop saying useless things. Let’s fight. Afterward, I have business to attend to. I don’t have time to waste on you.”
At those words, everyone couldn’t endure any longer. Words of mockery all arose and echoed throughout.
“Idiot who do not know how high the sky is! He dares to interfere with our Wang Clan. He must be tired of living!”
“Exactly! Who does he think he is? Le Wu Ya or the Goddess of Battles? He claims to be able to defeat the younger generation of the Wang Clan? He truly is seeking death!”
“He is merely an ant. Randomly pick one of our descendants and he will be defeated.”
Everyone had looks of mockery. None of them thought he has the ability to challenge their Clan and win against the younger generation of the Wang Clan.
It was no wonder that they were so confident. The Wang Clan of the East Domain contained many famous talents. They had numerous capable people and their bloodlines were powerful.
Therefore, everyone in this clan was talented. They were all capable talents with great capability.
Especially Wang Jun, the strongest descendant. He was insanely powerful and even out of the entire Tianzhou, he was considered one of the best!
Therefore, why wouldn’t these people be confident?
“Then stop wasting my time by talking. Call out those people. I will fight until they all collapse.”
The corner of Ling Xian’s lips curled up. First, the elder threated him. Now, the Wang Clan was thinking lowly of him. This has enraged him.
“Young man, just you wait. I am going to get the Wang Clan’s Heaven’s Favorites here.”
The elder appeared sarcastic. Then, he signaled for the Wang Clan’s younger generation.
After some time, silhouette slashed across the sky and everyone converged from all around. There were men and women, but without exception, they all belonged to the younger generation.
All of them exuded powerful Qi!
The moment they landed outside the palace, they all began to unleash killer’s intent that targeted Ling Xian!
It was obvious that they had all learned about what happened.
This raised the corner of Ling Xian’s lips. He revealed a mocking smile that was full of sarcasm.
“Very well. I sure want to see if the so-called Heaven’s Favorites can block my attacks.”
