Chapter 52: Falling out
Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Zhou An took out four items from the system space and stood up and said, "Four seniors, I have four mundane gifts to offer, please accept them."
Originally they had no interest in ordinary things, but when they saw the two scrolls and two books in Zhou An's hands, they all became interested.
The biggest hobby of the Book Fairy and the Painting Demon is collecting famous paintings from all over the world. They have an inexplicable love for this kind of scroll, so when they see these, they put down everything else and stare at them.
The painting demon laughed and said, "Good boy, bring it to me quickly. If it's not a masterpiece, be careful or I'll lose my temper."
He raised his hands, and the innate energy carried four items and dropped them on the four tables.
The painting demon took it with both hands, carefully unrolled the scroll, and slowly opened it. When he saw the contents, he knew the origin of the painting at a glance. His face turned red with excitement. He threw away the tea on the table and slowly placed the scroll on top.
"This is the last work of the painting saint Lian Yueshan of the previous dynasty. It is said that this painting encountered robbers during transportation, and those reckless people burned it. Fortunately, it is only a rumor. Good! Very good! Very good! Haha."
The painting demon was overjoyed and became obsessed with the scroll on the table.
The same thing happened to the book fairy next to him. He was so intoxicated by a poem that he completely forgot that he had guests.
Seeing the looks of these two people, the Fairy Zither and the Chess Saint were full of anticipation. They picked up the books on the table and looked through them. One was a zither manual and the other was a chess manual. Both were unique works, and the authors were all masters whose works had been passed down for hundreds of years.
They were both delighted when they saw it, and the chess master was almost the same, he was fascinated when he saw it.
Fortunately, the Fairy Qin still maintained her sanity. After putting away the music score, she smiled and said, "Thank you very much, my friend. Why don't you let me play a song to liven up the atmosphere for you all?"
Zhou An smiled and nodded, then sat down and looked at Fairy Qin.
When the piano music sounded, everyone felt that the music could cleanse the soul and calm the restless mood.
The tense atmosphere just now was immediately diluted by the sound of the piano, and the drunk Taoist sat quietly drinking wine.
Lord Chiyang frowned, looked at the people who were immersed in calligraphy, painting and chess, then looked at Zhou An and the Drunken Taoist with strange expressions. He wanted to provoke them, but the sound of the piano had a magical power that made him want to get angry, but his heart was very calm.
After the song was over, only Zhou An clapped his hands. The others were either immersed in calligraphy and painting, or had ulterior motives and were not paying any attention at all.
Fairy Qin nodded and smiled at Zhou An, then said: "The four of you came here for the battle between good and evil. We don't want to get involved in the dispute. If there is nothing else, let's stop here."
Seeing that it was impossible to do anything, with the drunk Taoist still around, it was impossible to pull these four people together, so the Pink Fairy stood up and said, "We have known each other for a hundred years, and it is not easy for you to practice. Since you are not appreciative, we can only offend you."
Lord Chiyang stood up and sneered, "I'll give you one last chance. Join us, or you will be expelled from the Eight Ethereal Monsters."
"The fox's tail is finally revealed." The drunk Taoist snorted, stood up, the true energy in his body flowed, and he made sword gestures with his hands. A flying sword appeared and circled above his head.
"How arrogant! We, the Eight Ethereal Monsters, are not something that can be easily controlled by anyone." Fairy Qin's face turned cold and she placed her hands on the strings.
"Hmm, is that so?"
Red flames burst out from the body of Lord Chiyang, forming a pillar of fire that burned through the roof. Then, with a wave of his hands, the pillar of fire turned into a flaming whirlwind that swept through the entire hall.
"My dear friend Zhou Nan, come behind me." The drunk Taoist shouted, and his body and sword became one. The flying sword merged with himself, and a sword light burst out from his hand, splitting the whirlwind of fire that was sweeping in and rushing straight towards the Red Sun God inside.
The Zither Fairy, the Chess Saint, the Calligraphy Fairy, and the Painting Demon flew up and landed on the roof of the building next to them. All four of them showed anger and released their magic weapons.
But just as they started to act, they found that dozens of evil monks appeared around them and had formed a formation. Just as they came out, purple-black clouds appeared in the sky and pressed down, and countless snakes of smoke swooped down with blood-red mouths opened.
"The Red Evil Snake Formation!" Shuxian exclaimed, and a brush appeared in his hand. He drew various talismans in the void, forming a talisman formation and rushing towards a group of snakes in the sky.
The chess master shook his sleeves, and the black and white chess pieces flew out, forming a formation to protect the four people.
The painting demon threw out a scroll, and all kinds of strange and bizarre beasts flew out of it and pounced on the group of snakes in the air.
The Fairy of the Zither sat cross-legged, plucking the strings of the zither quickly with both hands. Waves of sound spread out, shattering any snakes that approached.
Then several evil masters appeared from the clouds, laughing and releasing various magic weapons to attack the chess master's defensive formation.
The Drunken Taoist had to deal with the Red Sun God and the Pink Fairy alone, with sword flashes and fire whips attacking each other, and he also had to avoid the poisonous spider web array set up by the Pink Fairy.
This spider web is not only extremely poisonous, but the spider silk can also entangle flying swords. Even if it is a spiritual treasure-level flying sword, if it is not specially designed to restrain spider webs, it will be entangled and taken away.
The Drunken Taoist has achieved the unity of body and sword, so the spider web cannot be taken away, but his body cannot be touched. The sword light is blocked by the Red Sun God, leaving him no time to break the spider web formation.
Soon the surroundings were covered by pink spider webs, and the Drunken Taoist could only stand in front of Zhou An, waving his sword to block the fire whips falling from above.
"Hmph, old drunkard, this time, Kongling Mountain will be the burial place for you eight monsters. The righteous have been too arrogant these years. You really think that the world should be governed by your rules. In this battle between good and evil, the evil and evil have joined forces, and the righteous will surely become a thing of the past."
The Red Sun God laughed loudly, formed seals with his hands, and dozens of Red Sun fireballs appeared around him. He pointed his hand downwards, and the fireballs formed a string of bombardments.
The Drunken Taoist is a well-known master of the Zhengyi sect and is not so easy to deal with. Only by using this method can his true energy be exhausted and he can be killed. Moreover, Zhou An must be kept as well, forcing the Drunken Taoist to be unable to escape.
The pink fairy took out a small jar, blew into it, and then opened the lid. A group of pink little spiders crawled out very quickly and all climbed onto the spider web here, waiting for their prey to be webbed.
“What a big tone! This old beggar would like to see who has such great ability.” The voice of a beggar was heard from the air, and then a wooden stick flew over. When it got close, it burst out with orange light and hit the back of Lord Chiyang.
Although he was blocked by the red light wall emitted by his robe, he was still knocked away and fell into the ground nearby, leaving a scratch hole.
The drunk Taoist took the opportunity to swipe his sword, breaking through a spider web and shouting, "Follow me."
Zhou An used the Qiankun Step and followed closely to break out of the encirclement.
At this time, the pink spiders around suddenly jumped over. Seeing that his body was about to be covered by these little spiders, the drunk Taoist shook his robe, a bunch of talismans flew out, and he formed seals with his hands.
These talismans were suspended in the air, emitting electric light. The little spider was burned by the electricity when it touched them. The two took the opportunity to rush out of the spider web formation.

"My baby!" The pink fairy felt distressed and quickly took the little spider back.
With a look of anger on his face, he opened his mouth and spewed out pink poisonous mist.
The drunk Taoist released the talisman, raised his head and took a big gulp of wine, then sprayed it towards the talisman, which turned into a tongue of fire. All the talismans immediately burned up and turned into a rain of fire talismans rushing towards the poisonous fog.
The exploding flames evaporated the poisonous fog, forcing the Pink Fairy to retreat again and again. Seeing that it was difficult to determine the winner between the Red Sun Divine Monarch and the Divine Beggar, she hurriedly shouted into the air, "Ancestor, if you don't take action now, this matter will be ruined."
"Useless things, I've given you the entire Scarlet Evil Snake Formation. Lord Longyang and the Gambler are not here, and you still can't take down these guys, you trash." A man's disdainful voice came from the clouds above.
Hearing this voice, the beggar who was fighting stopped, murderous intent burst out, his eyes were full of hatred, the wooden staff in his hand flew out, and turned into a huge pillar of light that forced the Red Sun God to retreat. He pointed to the sky and roared: "Old Demon of Qishan! Come down and die."
"Hmph, so it's you. You've been hiding and becoming a beggar. Today, I will send you to see your short-lived master." The Qishan ancestor shouted, and a blue light fell. A fat old man in a brown robe flew down, with a white beard, a greasy face, and an evil light in his eyes.
The beggar's face became ferocious because of hatred. He formed seals with his hands, emitted an orange light, and his wooden staff turned into a wooden dragon and flew over.
The Qishan Patriarch grabbed the void with his palm, and a blue palm flew out, rapidly growing larger. When the wooden dragon pounced over, it grabbed the dragon's neck, forcing the wooden dragon to struggle in mid-air and unable to fall down at all.
"Hmph, you want to kill me with just this little ability!" The Qishan Patriarch waved his hand, and the wooden dragon was thrown into the icy lake. A blue light burst out from the surface of the lake, and the wooden dragon was frozen in an instant.
This sudden change surprised the Qishan Patriarch, and he became wary of the lake, thinking that there was a master hiding there.
At this time, the sword light of the Drunken Taoist rushed over, and the Qishan Patriarch swept his sleeves, turning them into a blue light curtain. The sword light stopped outside the light curtain and could not penetrate even a little bit.
The drunk Taoist leaped over and grabbed the divine beggar, shouting, "Let's go. The gap between you and him is too big."
"You guys go down, I'll cover your retreat." The Divine Beggar was unwilling to give up, and his true energy surged out, forming a seal between his hands.
"You are going to die in vain. You hid in the Void Secret Realm. Only when the eight of us gather together can we fight them. Don't make a fool of yourself now and kill everyone."
The drunk Taoist's shout made the Divine Beggar's body tremble. He showed an unwilling expression, glanced at the Qishan Patriarch, and followed the drunk Taoist to fly to the lake. Zhou An was already waiting by the lake.
After the Drunken Taoist jumped into a certain position in the icy lake and fell into the lake, he also jumped down from the same position.
The four people of Qin, Qi, Shu and Hua had also broken through the Red Evil Snake Formation and flew over, following the Drunken Taoist and jumping into the icy lake.
The evildoers who were chasing stopped by the lake, and no one dared to jump in. They all saw the wooden dragon being frozen in an instant.
Lord Chiyang practices fire-based martial arts and is most afraid of this kind of environment. It is absolutely impossible for him to jump down.
"Ancestor Qishan, what should we do now?" The Pink Fairy came over and asked respectfully.
"There's something strange about this ice lake. It should be a very powerful formation. Find someone who is good at formations and find out what's underneath."
The Qishan Patriarch did not dare to chase him rashly. Although none of the Eight Spiritual Monsters were his opponents individually, he could not deny the strength of the eight of them. The Qishan Patriarch could suppress the Divine Beggar with words, but if they really wanted to fight, he still had to be cautious.
