xiàng nà guāng qiú qī hēi rú mò ， dài zhe lìng rén jīng jù de líng yā niǎn guò lái le 。
像那光球漆黑如墨，带着令人惊惧的灵压碾过来了。
The light ball was as dark as ink, radiating an intimidating spiritual pressure that approached Lin Xuan.
jù lí hái yǒu qī bā zhàng yuǎn ， lǐ miàn suǒ yùn hán de kuáng bào fǎ lì yǐ ràng lín xuān hū xī wéi jiān 。
距离还有七八丈远，里面所蕴含的狂暴法力已让林轩呼吸维艰。
Seven or eight zhang away, the ferocious magical power contained within it made breathing difficult for Lin Xuan. He was a late-stage Core Formation cultivator; even if it were the top expert in Yunzhou, Master Wangting Lou, he wouldn't dare to withstand such an attack. This time, there seemed to be no hope of survival.
tā kě shì yuán yīng hòu qī de dà xiū shì 。
他可是元婴后期的大修士。
Lin Xuan sighed. With his current condition, there was nothing he could do but hold Moon tightly. Just as they were about to fall, something unexpected happened. The Nine-Headed Serpent's eyes widened in shock as it stared at Moon's face. Aaah!
kǒng pà jiù shì yún zhōu dì yī gāo shǒu wàng tíng lóu zài zhè lǐ ， yě bù yí dìng gǎn yìng káng rú cǐ kě pà de gōng jī ， zhè yī huí huán zhēn shì shí sǐ wú shēng de jié jú 。
恐怕就是云州第一高手望亭楼在这里，也不一定敢硬扛如此可怕的攻击，这一回还真是十死无生的结局。
Suddenly, the Nine-Headed Serpent let out a long howl and vanished in an instant. It reappeared right before Lin Xuan and Moon.
lín xuān tàn le kǒu qì ， xiàn zài yǐ wú lì huí tiān ， tā gān cuì bù qù guǎn ， zhǐ shì jǐn jǐn de jiāng yuè ér bào zài huái lǐ miàn 。 yǎn kàn liǎng rén jiù yào niè luò ， lìng rén yì xiǎng bù dào de shì qíng shēng le 。 yuán běn mǎn liǎn dé yì de jiǔ yīng dèng dà le yǎn zhū ， hài rán wú bǐ de wàng xiàng yuè ér de jiāo róng 。 áo ！
林轩叹了口气，现在已无力回天，他干脆不去管，只是紧紧的将月儿抱在怀里面。眼看两人就要陧落，令人意想不到的事情生了。原本满脸得意的九婴瞪大了眼珠，骇然无比的望向月儿的娇容。嗷！
At this moment, the Nine-Heaven Step technique had lost its effect. However, even though it was still in the Separation stage, the Nine-Headed Serpent could still use Instant Teleportation. Lin Xuan's face showed a hint of surprise; what did the other party want to do? Wasn't he and Moon already trapped? There was no point in such an action.
tū rán gǔ xiàng le fēng yì bān de yǎng tiān cháng xiào ， liǎng zhǐ chì bǎng yī shàn ， shēn xíng guǐ yì de xiāo shī bú jiàn ， xià yī kè ， què chū xiàn zài le lín xuān yǔ yuè ér de shēn qián 。
突然牯像了疯一般的仰天长啸，两只翅膀一扇，身形诡异的消失不见，下一刻，却出现在了林轩与月儿的身前。
Lin Xuan's mind raced as the Nine-Headed Serpent blocked his path, almost making him think that it wanted to shield him. This was too absurd. He had just fought with the Nine-Headed Serpent, wanting to kill each other; now, it was sacrificing itself for him?
cǐ shí cǐ s1， jiǔ tiān biàn bù shī qù le xiào guǒ ， rán ér lí hé qī de jiǔ yīng ， yī jiù néng gòu shī zhǎn chū shùn yí mì shù 。 lín xuān de liǎn shàng lù chū xiē xǔ jīng è ， duì fāng xiǎng yào zuò shén me ？ nán dào gōng jī zì jǐ ？ méi dào lǐ ， zì jǐ yǔ yuè ér yǐ shēn xiàn jué dì ， duì fāng zhè yàng zuò gēn běn jiù tú láo wú yì 。
此时此s1，九天缏步失去了效果，然而离合期的九婴，依旧能够施展出瞬移秘术。林轩的脸上露出些许惊愕，对方想要做什么？难道攻击自己？没道理，自己与月儿已身陷绝地，对方这样做根本就徒劳无益。
This...
lín xuān nǎo hǎi zhōng niàn tou jí zhuǎn ， nà jiǔ yīng què yǐ héng zhe dǎng zài le tā de shēn qián ， lín xuān jī hū yǐ wéi zì jǐ kàn cuò ， duì fāng zhè shì yào wèi zì jǐ dāng dùn pái me ？
林轩脑海中念头急转，那九婴却已横着挡在了他的身前，林轩几乎以为自己看错，对方这是要为自己当盾牌么？
Lin Xuan was left speechless. Such a thing would be unbelievable even if someone else said it. However, reality was what it was. The dark light ball collided with the Nine-Headed Serpent's body, and the runes flashed. This massive creature was completely engulfed by intense light.
zhè tài huāng miù le ， zì jǐ gāng gāng hái yǔ jiǔ yīng dà dǎ chū shǒu ， yī xīn xiǎng yào pīn gè nǐ sǐ wǒ huó ， zhuǎn yǎn gǔ què shě shēn xiāng jiù ？
这太荒谬了，自己刚刚还与九婴大打出手，一心想要拼个你死我活，转眼牯却舍身相救？
Its body, like ice thrown into fire, rapidly melted away. However, the Nine-Headed Serpent showed no signs of pain; instead, it turned its head, revealing a look of contentment in its eyes.
， zhè …”
，这…”
Lin Xuan's mind went blank. Everything that happened seemed too out of place. But there was no time to think about it now. With the Nine-Headed Serpent shielding them, Lin Xuan could withstand the explosion's aftermath. However, the residual force from the blast was formidable. The light shield formed by the Black Gold Dragon Armor kept flickering as Lin Xuan pulled out several Earth-grade defensive talismans, creating more shields to alleviate some of the pressure.
lín xuān dōu yǒu diǎn shǎ le ， ruò fēi qīn shēn jīng lì ， zhè yàng de shì qíng bù lùn shuí shuō chū qù 「 tā dōu bú huì xiāng xìn de 。
林轩都有点傻了，若非亲身经历，这样的事情不论谁说出去「他都不会相信的。
The explosion didn't last long, but it felt excruciating for Lin Xuan. Finally, after the storm passed, he let out a deep breath.
rán ér shì shí jiù shì shì shí ， nà qī hēi rú mò de guāng qiú yǐ jīng zhuàng shàng le jiǔ yīng de shēn tǐ ， fú wén shǎn shuò ， zhè páng rán dà wù zhěng gè bèi qiáng guāng tūn mò 。
然而事实就是事实，那漆黑如墨的光球已经撞上了九婴的身体，符文闪烁，这庞然大物整个被强光吞没。
Surviving by a thread, Lin Xuan himself had given up hope. His current survival was purely due to luck. He couldn't fathom why the Nine-Headed Serpent would do such an absurd thing. Lin Xuan's brows furrowed; even with his depth of wisdom, he could find no clue.
gǔ de shēn qū ， rú tóng bèi tóu jìn huǒ lǐ de bīng xuě ， xùn xiāo róng ， rán ér jiǔ yīng de liǎn shàng jū rán méi yǒu tòng kǔ ， gǔ zhuǎn guò tóu ， yǎn zhōng fǎn ér yǒu xīn wèi liú lù 。
牯的身躯，如同被投进火里的冰雪，迅消融，然而九婴的脸上居然没有痛苦，牯转过头，眼中反而有欣慰流露。
"Master, I'm sorry!" A weak voice entered his ears. Turning around, Lin Xuan saw Moon's face filled with guilt. He was taken aback but then smiled wryly: "Silly girl, why are you apologizing to me? To obtain the Asura God Blood, it was my duty. Besides, we're fine now."
lín xuān de tóu nǎo yǒu xiē duǎn lù ， zhè yī qiè tài bù fú hé cháng lǐ ， bù guò cǐ shí cǐ kè ， yě méi yǒu shí jiān xì xì sī suǒ ， jiǔ yīng shě shēn xiāng jiù ， zhōng yú wéi zhǔ pū èr rén chuàng zào chū shēng jī lái le “ hē ！”
林轩的头脑有些短路，这一切太不苻合常理，不过此时此刻，也没有时间细细思索，九婴舍身相救，终于为主仆二人创造出生机来了“喝！”
"No... I'm not referring to that." Moon lowered her head, unsure where to place her small hands: "I meant there were some things I shouldn't have kept from you."
lín xuān yī shēng dà hǒu ， jiāng cán yú de líng lì zhù rù wū jīn lóng jiǎ dùn zhōng ， jǐn guǎn yǒu jìn kōng jìn zhì de shù fù ， dàn tā nǎ lǐ guǎn dé le xǔ duō ， qiáng xíng jià qǐ dùn guāng xiàng páng biān nuó yí qù le 。
林轩一声大吼，将残余的灵力注入乌金龙甲盾中，尽管有禁空禁制的束缚，但他哪里管得了许多，强行驾起遁光像旁边挪移去了。
As a ruler of the Netherworld in his past life and having a blood feud with True Immortals, this secret was too shocking. Moon was a quiet girl who always tried not to scare Lin Xuan away. However, after the dangerous situation they faced together, she felt both guilty and happy. How could she continue hiding it?
miǎn qiǎng fēi chū bǎi yú zhàng yuǎn ， lín xuān jiù bèi yī gǔ jù lì sǐ sǐ de yā zài dì miàn ， ā xiū luó wáng de xíng gōng ， suǒ shè jìn zhì fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， yuǎn bú shì yī míng xiǎo xiǎo de yuán yīng xiū shì kě yǐ zhèng tuō 。
勉强飞出百余丈远，林轩就被一股巨力死死的压在地面，阿修罗王的行宫，所设禁制非同小可，远不是一名小小的元婴修士可以挣脱。
The time for honesty had come. Despite her unease, she really didn't want to hide anything from Lin Xuan.
bù guò zhè ge jù lí yě liǎng qiáng gòu le ， yǒu jiǔ yīng jiāng guāng qiú dǎng zhù ， jǐn jǐn shì bào zhà de yú bō ， lín xuān hái shì kě yǐ zhī chēng dé zhù 。
不过这个距离也魉强够了，有九婴将光球挡住，仅仅是爆炸的余波，林轩还是可以支撑得住。
"Master, I know why Nine-Headed Serpent acted that way." Moon sighed softly, knowing that if she hadn't known the Nine-Headed Serpent's soul fragment could recognize her in this life, she should have revealed herself earlier and avoided such a grueling battle. "Do you understand?"
dāng rán ， nà yú bō yě fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， wū jīn lóng jiǎ dùn suǒ huà guāng mù bù tíng shǎn shuò ， lín xuān xiù páo yī shén ， yòu jì chū jǐ zhāng dì jiē shǔ xìng de fáng yù fú zuǎn ， yí gè gè guāng mù liàng qǐ ， zhè cái dǐ xiāo le bù shǎo yā lì 。
当然，那余波也非同小可，乌金龙甲盾所化光幕不停闪烁，林轩袖袍一神，又祭出几张地阶属性的防御符纂，一个个光幕亮起，这才抵消了不少压力。
Lin Xuan was surprised but then showed a thoughtful expression as he recalled the scene. The Nine-Headed Serpent had indeed seen Moon's face before making that strange move. But what connection could there be between the Netherworld's great demon and Moon? This was something Lin Xuan couldn't figure out.
bào zhà bìng méi yǒu chí xù duō jiǔ ， bù guò gěi lín xuān de gǎn jué què nán áo yǐ jí ， zhōng yú nà sì nüè de fēng bào guò qù ， lín xuān cái cháng cháng de chū le kǒu qì 。
爆炸并没有持续多久，不过给林轩的感觉却难熬以极，终于那肆虐的风暴过去，林轩才长长的出了口气。
Seeing Master's confusion, Moon bit her pearly teeth and began to slowly tell him about her past...
jiǔ sǐ yì shēng de gǎn jué ， píng xīn lái shuō ， lín xuān zì jǐ dōu yǐ jīng jué wàng le ， rú jīn néng gòu huó xià lái bù guò shì jiǎo xìng ér yǐ 。 shí zài xiǎng bù chū nà jiǔ yīng wèi hé huì gàn chū shě shēn xiāng jiù zhè me lí pǔ de shì 。 lín xuān shuāng méi jǐn zhòu ， yǐ tā de chéng fǔ ， yě sī háo tóu xù méi yǒu 。” shào yé ， duì bù qǐ ！”
九死一生的感觉，平心来说，林轩自己都已经绝望了，如今能够活下来不过是侥幸而已。实在想不出那九婴为何会干出舍身相救这么离谱的事。林轩双眉紧皱，以他的城府，也丝毫头绪没有。”少爷，对不起！”
Meanwhile, on top of the mountain at Asura King's palace,
ruò ruò de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， lín xuān huí guò tóu ， jiù kàn jiàn yuè ér de liǎn shàng mǎn shì qiàn jiù ， lín xuān yī è ， suí hòu sǎ rán wēi xiào qǐ lái le ：“ shǎ yā tou ， nǐ xiàng wǒ dào qiàn shén me ， wèi mí qǔ xiū luó shén xuè ， běn lái jiù shì wǒ gāi zuò de ， hé kuàng wǒ men rú jīn ， bù yě méi shì me ？”“ bù …… xiǎo bì bú shì zhǐ zhè ge 。” yuè ér dī chuí zhēn ， liǎng zhǐ xiǎo shǒu dōu bù zhī dào gāi wǎng nǎ lǐ fàng le ：“ xiǎo bì shì shuō ， yǒu yī xiē shì qíng ， wǒ yuán běn bù gāi mán zhe nǐ de 。”
弱弱的声音传入耳朵，林轩回过头，就看见月儿的脸上满是歉疚，林轩一愕，随后洒然微笑起来了：“傻丫头，你像我道歉什么，为弥取修罗神血，本来就是我该做的，何况我们如今，不也没事么？”“不……小婢不是指这个。”月儿低垂臻，两只小手都不知道该往哪里放了：“小婢是说，有一些事情，我原本不该瞒着你的。”
After being ravaged by Spirit Realm cultivators, this place had become a ruin. However, new walls were added recently due to a battle that just occurred.
zì jǐ de qián shì nǎi yīn sī zhī zhǔ ， yǔ zhēn xiān zhī jiān hái yǒu zhe xuè hǎi chóu yuàn ， zhè ge mì mì bù lùn cóng nǎ fāng miàn kàn ， dōu dà guò jīng sǒng le yì diǎn ， yuè ér shì hěn guāi hěn dān chún de nǚ hái ér ， tā pà shào yé bèi zì jǐ xià pǎo ， gù ér yì zhí dōu jiāng mì mì mái cáng zài xīn jiān 。
自己的前世乃阴司之主，与真仙之间还有着血海仇怨，这个秘密不论从哪方面看，都大过惊悚了一点，月儿是很乖很单纯的女孩儿，她怕少爷被自己吓跑，故而一直都将秘密埋藏在心间。
It was coincidental that the ancient octopus and Wanshou Sect's Emptiness Clarity arrived almost simultaneously. Although they chose different paths, their arrival inevitably led to conflict.
rán ér jīng lì le gāng cái de wēi xiǎn ， zì jǐ zhǔ pú chà diǎn tóng fù huáng quán ， xiǎng dào shào yé shě shēn bǎo hù zì jǐ ， zài jué wú kě néng de qíng kuàng cái hái wèi zì jǐ zhēng qǔ shēng jī ， yuè ér yòu shì nèi jiù yòu shì tián mì ， tā zěn me hái néng gòu jì xù zhuāng tuó niǎo xià qù 。 shì gāi tǎn bái de yī kè ， jǐn guǎn shào nǚ de liǎn shàng mǎn shì bù ān zhī sè 。 kě tā zhēn de bù xiǎng duì lín xuān yǒu bàn diǎn yǐn mán le 。
然而经历了刚才的危险，自己主仆差点同赴黄泉，想到少爷舍身保护自己，在绝无可能的情况才还为自己争取生机，月儿又是内疚又是甜蜜，她怎么还能够继续装鸵鸟下去。是该坦白的一刻，尽管少女的脸上满是不安之色。可她真的不想对林轩有半点隐瞒了。
After an initial shock, both started fighting fiercely.
“ shào yé ， wǒ zhī dào jiǔ yīng wèi hé huì zuò chū nà yàng de jǔ dòng 。” yuè ér qīng qīng tàn xī ， zǎo zhī dào jiǔ yīng fēn hún néng gòu xiàng xiǎo táo yī yàng rèn chū zhuǎn shì hòu de zì jǐ ， cóng yī kāi shǐ ， tā jiù yīng gāi xiàn shēn chū lái ， hái kě yǐ bì miǎn jiān kǔ de dà zhàn 。“$$； qīng chǔ ？”
“少爷，我知道九婴为何会做出那样的举动。”月儿轻轻叹息，早知道九婴分魂能够像小桃一样认出转世后的自己，从一开始，她就应该现身出来，还可以避免艰苦的大战。“$$；清楚？”
The ancient octopus didn't need to be said; it had already killed a late-stage Core Formation cultivator in the Indeterminate River. With such confidence against its opponent, it had devoured the old monster's blood and soul, greatly enhancing its strength.
lín xuān yī è ， suí hòu liǎn shàng lù chū ruò yǒu suǒ sī zhī sè ， zǐ xì huí xiǎng dāng shí de qíng jǐng ， jiǔ yīng què shí shì kàn jiàn le yuè ér de qiáo róng ， suí hòu cái zuò chū nà yàng gǔ guài de fǎn cháng jǔ dòng 。 zhǐ shì duì fāng nǎi yīn sī dì fǔ de dà yāo guǐ shòu ， yǔ yuè ér zhī jiān huì yǒu shén me jiāo jí ne ？ zhè yì diǎn yě zhèng shì lín xuān bǎi sī bù dé qí jiě zhī chù 。
林轩一愕，随后脸上露出若有所思之色，仔细回想当时的情景，九婴确实是看见了月儿的桥容，随后才做出那样古怪的反常举动。只是对方乃阴司地府的大妖鬼兽，与月儿之间会有什么交集呢？这一点也正是林轩百思不得其解之处。
However, Emptiness Clarity wasn't weak either. There were levels of Great Perfection among Great Cultivators, and he was at that level. Moreover, he possessed a treasure from White Cloud Mountain with defensive properties, significantly boosting his abilities.
jiàn shào yé mǎn liǎn yí huò ， yuè ér yǎo le yǎo bèi chǐ ， yīng chún wēi qǐ ， kāi shǐ jiāng zì jǐ de shēn shì huǎn huǎn jiǎng shù …… què shuō lìng yī biān ， zài shān dǐng ā xiū luó wáng de gōng diàn 。
见少爷满脸疑惑，月儿咬了咬贝齿，樱唇微启，开始将自己的身世缓缓讲述……却说另一边，在山顶阿修罗王的宫殿。
A fierce battle raged until the sky turned dark. In the end, Emptiness Clarity emerged victorious, killing the ancient octopus. However, the opponent's strength was formidable; despite the protection of a supreme divine treasure, he still suffered some injuries and nearly exhausted his magical power.
jīng guò líng jiè xiū shì de róu lìn ， zhè lǐ zǎo yǐ shì yī piàn fèi xū ， rán ér rú jīn què yòu xīn tiān le bù shǎo cán yuán duàn bì 。 jiù zài bù jiǔ yǐ qián ， zhè lǐ gāng gāng shēng le yī cháng dà zhàn 。
经过灵界修士的蹂躏，这里早已是一片废墟，然而如今却又新添了不少残垣断壁。就在不久以前，这里刚刚生了一场大战。
Surveying the ruined palace, Emptiness Clarity hesitated but didn't immediately enter. He couldn't know what kind of powerful restrictions lay inside.
shuō lái yě shì qiǎo hé ， nà zhāng yú gǔ shòu yǔ wàn fú zōng de kōng míng suǒ xuǎn de suī shì bù tóng dào lù ， què jī hū shì qián jiǎo hòu jiǎo de lái dào le ā xiū luó wáng de xíng gōng 。
说来也是巧合，那章鱼古兽与万佛宗的空明所选的虽是不同道路，却几乎是前脚后脚的来到了阿修罗王的行宫。
To be safe, he decided to recover his magical energy first. Poor Master was unaware that a pair of red eyes in a dark corner of the ruins was watching him intently. To be continued... For more updates on the story, please log in and support the author!
