  Boom!

  The back hall of the Azure Ville Sect was burning in golden flames. It was flying in the sky like a small sun—incredibly powerful.

  It was as if the disciples of the Heavenly Water Sect saw their biggest enemies when they saw the incoming back hall. They backed off frantically while holding on to their clothes.

  A lot of disciples were covering their naked bodies with cloud spells. They were dazed and ashamed.

  “Payne, stop it right now!” the beautiful woman yelled as she led the elders of the Heavenly Water Sect. They looked at the burning back hall feeling alarmed.

  “Bamboo, don’t come near it!” Payne warned frantically. “The flames will burn your clothes off! Be careful! Save yourself!”


  “Shut up!” The beautiful woman looked angry. “Speak, why are you manipulating the flames to attack my Heavenly Water Sect?”


  “Misunderstanding! It’s a misunderstanding!”


  Payne hurriedly explained, “I had nothing to do with the flames. I’m a victim, too! Listen to me, here’s what happened……”


  “Are you stupid? Do you think now’s the right time for explanations?” The Big Elder was livid as he frantically interrupted them.

  The Second Elder also said, “Sect Master Ding, we don’t have time to explain. Hurry up and save us! Our lives are at stake!”


  Ding Xiaozhu was baffled. She simply frowned.

  Payne hurriedly said, “Yeah, Bamboo, save us! Save me! I’m almost charred!”


  “Stop the back hall now!” sneered Ding Xiaozhu. She stepped on a cloud and approached the back hall. She cast some spells and items started to appear around her like a shield. She protected her clothes from every angle.

  The four elders behind her followed her up into the sky, too. They layered their protection shields and carefully approached the back hall.

  Their hearts sank as they got nearer. They looked more alarmed.

  At that moment, they realized they had misunderstood Payne.

  Payne could never create such a flame. He was not worthy.

  Yeah, it would have been troublesome.

  The flames were too powerful and hot. It was terrifying. They imagined that it could engulf the world.

  One of the elders worriedly said, “Sect Master, once this fire explodes, we won’t be able to handle it at all.”


  The other elder took a deep breath and said, his voice trembling slightly, “I see. No wonder only the clothes were burned off. The flames aren’t trying to attack. Otherwise, the people would’ve evaporated along with their clothes, too.”


  The five of them stopped approaching it.

  They could not go any further as they could no longer ensure the safety of their clothes.

  “If the fire wants to explode, it would’ve exploded by now. I don’t think it’s harmful. Follow me and save the others first,” Ding Xiaozhu said. “Cast the spell pattern!”


  The five of them surrounded the back hall, casting more spells. Their powers were in the form of five light pillars. The sky went dark.

  Soon, it started raining heavily.

  The rain could not penetrate the back hall at all. The golden flames created a huge vacuum that water could not enter.

  Ding Xiaozhu did not expect it to work. It was just foreplay at that point.

  She pointed at the Heavenly Water Sect. Suddenly, a glamorous bright light emerged—it was a mirror.

  The mirror levitated in the air, facing the golden flames. The reflection of the golden flames appeared in the mirror.

  Suddenly, the mirror started shaking hard.

  The four elders pointed at the mirror as their light pillars became streams of light, reflecting off the mirror.

  Ding Xiaozhu glanced and cast a spell, “Dustless Mirror, now!”


  Splash!

  Frost emerged from the mirror in an instant.

  The frost was special, it was creepily cold. One would shiver from just a look at it. It was as if it could freeze gazes, too.

  The hot air was instantly relieved.

  Payne wept, “Bamboo, you’re so nice to me. You used the Dustless Mirror to save me.”


  The Dustless Mirror was a proper Immortal Item. According to legend, it was inspired by the famous Demon-Revealing Mirror from an ancient era. It was even made from the same material.

  The difference was that the mirror could reflect the weakness of anything, and then replicate that weakness.

  One could imagine how precious and valuable it was.

  Ding Xiaozhu looked serious as she growled at him, “Shut up! The flames don’t have weaknesses so I can only hold them off for a short while. Find a hole and get out!”


  The frost was guided by Ding Xiaozhu. It formed an ice trail mid-air, heading toward the back hall.

  Sizzle!

  The ice quickly melted away when it was near the back hall.

  However, with the powers of Ding Xiaozhu and the four elders, it reconnected and approached the back hall again.

  Payne said with a serious face, “Be ready to get rid of the defense spell.”


  They were suppressing the painting with the Azure Ville Sect defense spell, but they were also trapped inside the back hall. They had to remove the spell to get out.

  Leave it to Ding Xiaozhu to deal with the painting. They could escape in the meantime.

  It was a moment of life-and-death.

  Their hearts sped up as they looked at the painting again.

  Most of it had already been unscrolled. The Golden Crow was seemingly alive with the Immortal Qi. It spread its wings like it was ready to fly out from the painting.

  Thankfully, the artist had no malice in mind. Otherwise, the entire Azure Ville Sect and its surroundings would have vanished.

  Too scary!

  Who could imagine that unless they had experienced it?

  Suddenly, they heard Ding Xiaozhu say, “Get ready!”


  Payne realized something and yelled, “Bamboo, remember to close your eyes! The five of us are all naked. It’s no big deal if it’s just me, but the other four would be an eyesore! Remember it!”


  The other four did not look too happy.

  Being lovey-dovey while delivering a personal attack—how rude!

  “As if! It’s an eyesore to look at you!”


  “Sigh, I finally know why Sect Master Ding didn’t like you. It’s not hard to see why!”


  “Everyone, stop it. Learn to be more understanding. Sect Master Payne must be worried that Sect Master Ding would dislike him even more once she sees our manly bodies.”


  “To be very honest, after looking at you all, I realize I’m the one who’s truly ‘talented’ here.”
