”

To suppress...” Payne could not continue.

He wanted to know what he was suppressing, too!

Gu Yuan continued, “This painting contains Heavenly Insights. It’s a Golden Crow, extremely terrifying. Please, be very careful, elders.”

Payne looked at Gu Yuan and nodded. He tried his best to say, “Yes. Right, let’s begin.”

Golden Crow?

The three elders looked at each other as their eyes were filled with doubts.

The Golden Crow was a legendary Demon King from a faraway era. It went extinct a long time ago.

Even in the Above Immortal Realm, the existence of the Golden Crow was only a record found in an eldritch border.

The painting was made on ordinary paper. The material of the paper was new, so it was not from an ancient time for sure.

Who could possibly paint the Golden Crow?

Even so, it was not necessary to suppress a painting, right?

One of the elders was silent for a while. Then, he said, “Sect Master Payne, you’re being awfully careful. Forgive me, but allow me to be straightforward. Just open the painting.”

“True, to suppress a painting will be a waste of our talents.”

Gu Yuan was worried. He said, “Elders, don’t be reckless. The Golden Crow in the painting might be alive! I’ve had it with me for a long time, but I don’t even dare open it myself.”

“Ha, ridiculous!” sneered the elders. “You’re just an Intermediate Immortal. Just because you’re afraid of opening it, you want us to suppress it? You’re making a big deal out of nothing!”

It was ridiculous. He was like a kid who was struggling to open a jar, so he begged the adults to open it for him.

Gu Yuan said, “It’s fine if you don’t believe me, but before you open it, let me step away first.”

Payne gestured and said, “Alright, stop fighting. Start the spell.”

The three elders sighed softly. “Fine, let’s listen to the Sect Master.”

The three elders activated the spell and a bright halo appeared. Power poured into the hall like endless ocean waves.

The three elders locked eyes with one another and communicated through their body language.

“Big Elder, what should the spell’s power level be?”

“Duh? Level three at best! We can’t have people knowing that we’re making a big deal out of nothing. Shameless, right?”

“True, very smart of you, Big Elder.”

“Let’s just make it level one...for appearance’s sake.”

...

The three elders reached an agreement and slightly squinted. They cast a spell quickly. Golden patterns formed on the ground like a chain. “Sect Master, open it!”

Payne nodded. He looked at Gu Yuan and said, “You better hope for your sake that you aren’t fooling me!”

He was worried that Gu Yuan was bluffing. If the painting was nothing more than ordinary, it would be embarrassing for him. The reputation of the Sect Master would be ruined.

God bless. May this painting be cool!

He took a nervous breath and slowly opened the painting!

Starting from the corner of the painting—

Suddenly, everything started to sway. A powerful aura poured out of the painting.

Hm?

Payne was pleasantly surprised. That was interesting.

He uncovered the painting a little bit more.

More power started to pour out from it as rays of golden light started shining from the painting scroll. It seemed like there were special effects.

The Big Elder was shocked. “This painting scroll...is really something else. It’s worth a good look.”

The Second Elder said excitedly, “Continue, don’t stop.”

Gu Yuan was excited, too. He unscrolled the painting even faster!

As he unscrolled the painting, a figure started to show!

Boom!

A strong wind started to blow in an instant. Spiritual Qi and Immortal Qi swirled throughout the back hall.

The temperature started to rise. The golden light was blinding.

The Big Elder said, “Hurry, bring the spell up to level two!”

The painting scroll was gradually being unscrolled.

Golden flames started pouring out of it. Payne could feel the heat coming from it as he held onto the painting scroll.

The flames were extraordinarily powerful. They were about to jump out of the painting to burn everything in sight.

Thankfully, the chains of the defense spell trapped it in place.

The three elders were surprised. “Good stuff! That’s some good stuff! Sect Master, you were well-prepared and careful. We’re impressed.”

“Haha, I told you so. This stuff’s extraordinary. If we didn’t activate the spell, the golden flames would’ve been hard to control.”

Payne smiled and gave Gu Yuan an approving look. “Get ready, I’m going to fully unscroll it.”

“Let’s go, bring the spell up to level three. That should be enough.”

Splash!

It was only unscrolled a little bit more, but its power had suddenly increased significantly. It was beyond their expectations.

Golden flames poured out from it like a water fountain, taking over the back hall.

Everyone was shocked. They hurriedly said, “Quick, bring it up to level four!”

“It’s too strong! Level five! Hurry up!”

Splash!

The painting of the Golden Crow was unveiled. There seemed to be golden flames dancing in its eyes. The powerful aura was overwhelmingly breathtaking.

The Big Elder was in distress. He yelled, “We can’t hold it! Level eight!”

The three elders were flushed, sweating bullets. They quickly cast their spells and the gold chains transformed into a wall that surrounded the entire back hall.

A terrifying aura settled over the Azure Ville Sect. The powerful aura grew into storms, trying to escape from all sides.

The defense spell was activated. Everyone knew about it.

“What’s going on? What’s happening again?”

“Hot! It’s so hot!”

“What? The back hall’s on fire!”

“It’s on fire? Damn, I thought I was hallucinating.”

“Warning... Something bad’s happening in there. Don’t look!”

Everyone in the back hall was in shambles. They looked at the painting scroll with fear.

The Big Elder was sweating bullets. Bewildered, he said in a trembling voice, “Sect Master, stop... Please, stop! We know the painting’s amazing. Stop opening it!”

Payne did not look happy at all. “Do you think I’m still opening it? I’m trying to scroll it back up!”

He looked at Gu Yuan and yelled, “Gu Yuan, don’t think about running away. The back hall’s locked. The painting scroll’s out of control! Hurry up and help me!”

“No freaking way! The flames will easily end me in seconds!” Gu Yuan shivered in the corner. He was afraid the flames would burn him.

Weak, small, pathetic, and helpless.

“I made a mistake. I should’ve waited outside even with the defense spell. It’s over... I’m a goner...”

The painting scroll was only revealed halfway but the defense spell was already at its highest level.

“No, I can’t do this anymore.”

The five of them were panting. They were bathed in sweat and their beards and hair had been burned off along with their clothes. They were fully naked.

‘Please, stop making this painting so awesome!’ Payne almost cried.

‘Is my Azure Ville Sect going to be destroyed by a painting?’
