zhè shí èr míng xiū shì là xià dùn guāng yǐ hòu ， biàn gè zì bì shàng shuāng móu ， cháo zhe yíng dǎo de fāng xiàng ，．
这十二名修士落下遁光以后，便各自闭上双眸，朝着瀛岛的方向，．
After the twelve cultivators descended from their light formations, they each closed their eyes and directed their gaze towards Immortal Isle.
guò le bú dào bàn zhǎn chá de gōng fu ， zhè xiē xiū shì de liǎn shàng ， jiù wú bù lù chū mǎn yì yǐ jí de shén sè 。
过了不到半盏茶的功夫，这些修士的脸上，就无不露出满意以极的神色。
Less than half a cup of tea later, satisfaction spread across all their faces.
“ huì xuán dà shī guǒ rán hǎo suàn jì ， tiān yá hǎi gé de jiàn bì jué xiǎng bú dào wǒ men dà duì rén mǎ hái zài kuí jīn dǎo ， kě nǐ wǒ liǎng pài de gāo céng què zǎo yǐ qián rù cǐ dì 。” qīng yuán shī wáng de liǎn shàng shǎn guò yī sī zhēng níng zhī sè ， dàn yǔ qì què píng dàn wú bǐ de kāi kǒu le 。
“慧玄大师果然好算计，天涯海阁的贱婢绝想不到我们大队人马还在魁金岛，可你我两派的高层却早已潜入此地。”清源尸王的脸上闪过一丝狰狞之色，但语气却平淡无比的开口了。
"Master Huixuan truly has an excellent plan. The Skyfarer Sea Pavilion's lowly maid wouldn't have thought we were still here on Great Gold Island, but your and my sects' high-ranking officials had already infiltrated this place," the Corpse King of Clear Origin's face showed a hint of viciousness, yet his tone remained utterly calm as he spoke.
“ bù cuò ， suī rán liǎng pài jiāo shǒu ， pài chū xiān fēng bù zú wéi qí ， dàn tōng cháng dōu shì zhù jī qī yǔ níng dān qī dì zǐ ， shì tàn yī xià duì fāng de xū shí ， ér wǒ men zhè cì què jīng ruì jǐn chū ， ràng yuán yīng qī gāo shǒu quán bù shuài xiān gǎn dào cǐ chù ， yí dìng néng gòu dǎ duì fāng yí gè cuò shǒu bù jí 。” shé xiē xiān zi yě huā zhī luàn chàn de jiāo xiào qǐ lái le ， tā de shēng yīn chōng mǎn le mèi huò 。
“不错，虽然两派交手，派出先锋不足为奇，但通常都是筑基期与凝丹期弟子，试探一下对方的虚实，而我们这次却精锐尽出，让元婴期高手全部率先赶到此处，一定能够打对方一个措手不及。”蛇蝎仙子也花枝乱颤的娇笑起来了，她的声音充满了魅惑。
"Indeed. Although it is not uncommon for both sides to send their vanguard forces in battle, they are usually composed of Foundation Establishment and Condensation Core disciples who test each other’s strength. But this time, we have deployed all our elite forces, sending our Core Formation experts ahead so that we can catch them off guard," the Fairy Lady with a Scorpion's Nature giggled seductively, her voice filled with allure.
“ ē mí tuó fó ， lǎo nà zhè me zuò yě shì bù dé yǐ 。” huì xuán mǎn liǎn cí bēi de tàn le kǒu qì ：“ tiān yá hǎi gé dào xíng nì shī ， nǐ men liǎng pài wèi le zhèng yì ， bù dé bù xíng nà zhǎn yāo chú mó zhī shì ．．．．．．”
“阿弥陀佛，老衲这么做也是不得已。”慧玄满脸慈悲的叹了口气：“天涯海阁倒行逆施，你们两派为了正义，不得不行那斩妖除魔之事．．．．．．”
"Namaste, I had no choice but to act as I did." Master Huixuan sighed compassionately. "The Skyfarer Sea Pavilion has gone against the ways of heaven and earth. Your two sects must fight for justice, thus you have no choice but to exterminate demons."
huà yīn wèi luò ， lì hún gǔ de jǐ míng lǎo guài wù yǐ tīng dé hún shēn jī pí gē da dōu qǐ lái le 。
话音未落，厉魂谷的几名老怪物已听得浑身鸡皮疙瘩都起来了。
Before he could finish speaking, several old monsters from Great Desolate Valley were already shivering all over.
shén me zhèng yì ， xiū xiān jiè ruò ròu qiáng shí ， shuō dào dǐ ， hái bú shì wèi le zì jǐ de lì yì ， zhè lǎo tū lǘ ， wèi miǎn yě tài xū wěi le xiē 。
什么正义，修仙界弱肉强食，说到底，还不是为了自己的利益，这老秃驴，未免也太虚伪了些。
What justice? In the cultivation world, it's survival of the fittest. At the end of the day, it’s about one's own interests. This old bald monk is too hypocritical.
suī rán xīn zhōng fù fěi bù yǐ ， dàn shuāng fāng bì jìng shì méng yǒu guān xì ， yǒu xiē huà dāng rán bù néng shuō chū lái ， bì xū zhào gù duì fāng miàn zi 。
虽然心中腹诽不已，但双方毕竟是盟友关系，有些话当然不能说出来，必须照顾对方面子。
Though they inwardly scoffed, as allies, some things couldn’t be said. After all, they were still in a partnership and didn't need to delve into this issue further.
“ hāi hāi ， wǒ men zhī dào dà shī shì wàn jiā shēng fó ， bù guò xiàn zài shí jiān bù duō ， hái shì zhí jiē jiǎng zhòng diǎn hǎo le 。” qīng yuán shī wáng gān xiào zhe shuō 。
“咳咳，我们知道大师是万家生佛，不过现在时间不多，还是直接讲重点好了。”清源尸王干笑着说。
"How will we proceed with our plan?" the Corpse King of Clear Origin asked, his eyes flashing red with concern.
“ ń ， lǎo nà zhè cì yòng jì ， yě shì wèi le jiǎn shǎo sǔn shī ， zhè cì suī shì nǐ wǒ liǎng pài lián shǒu ， dàn tiān yá hǎi gé yě shí lì bù ruò ， ér qiě zuò wèi fáng shǒu yī cè ， yòu zhàn jù tiān shí dì lì rén hé ， yíng zhōu dǎo tā men jīng yíng le bǎi wàn nián zhī jiǔ ， shàng miàn de jìn zhì zhèn fǎ bù jì qí zhī ．．．”
“嗯，老衲这次用计，也是为了减少损失，这次虽是你我两派联手，但天涯海阁也实力不弱，而且做为防守一侧，又占据天时地利人和，瀛洲岛她们经营了百万年之久，上面的禁制阵法不计其蜘．．．”
"Correct. With only around three hundred Core Formation cultivators from your sects and their vassal clans, it’s far too few in number," the Corpse King of Clear Origin said, his eyes flickering with worry.
“ dà shī suǒ yán bù cuò 。” shé xiē xiān zi jiǎo xiào zhe kāi kǒu le ， rán ér yǔ wǔ mèi de shēng yīn bù tóng ， tā liǎn shàng de biǎo qíng què dài zhe jǐ fēn níng zhòng ：“ bié de jìn zhì zàn qiě bù shuō ， qí hù pài dà zhèn ， tīng shuō shì shàng gǔ zhī shí ， yóu qí chuàng pài zǔ shī ， jiǔ gōng xiān zi suǒ chuán xià lái de ． jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn zhèn ” lǐ miàn bāo hán zhèng fǎn liǎng jí ， kě yǐ jiè zhù tiān dì yuán qì ， wēi lì wú bǐ 。”
“大师所言不错。”蛇蝎仙子矫笑着开口了，然而与妩媚的声音不同，她脸上的表情却带着几分凝重：“别的禁制暂且不说，其护派大阵，听说是上古之时，由其创派祖师，九宫仙子所传下来的．九宫须臾剑阵”里面包含正反两极，可以借助天地元气，威力无比。”
"I have heard that those women at the Skyfarer Sea Pavilion excel in sword formations. If they use the forbidden techniques to aid them, a dozen or so Condensation Core female cultivators can block an Elder from our side," the Fairy Lady with a Scorpion's Nature turned her head and said with a slight smile.
“ bù cuò ， lǎo nà dān xīn de yě shì zhè ge ， yí dàn cǐ zhèn kāi qǐ ， suī rán zuì hòu yě néng gōng pò ， dàn nǐ wǒ liǎng pài ， què bù zhī dào yào yòng duō shǎo dì zǐ de xìng mìng qù tián le 。” huì xuán shuāng mù bàn kāi bàn hé ， lǐ miàn yǐn yǐn yǒu jīng guāng shǎn shuò ：“ suǒ yǐ lǎo nà cái huì tí yì ， ràng yuán yīng qī yǐ shàng de xiū shì gǎn lái yǔ cǐ ， niú jìng yǔ dà duì rén mǎ xiāng bǐ ， tā men dùn guāng de sù dù yào kuài shàng shù bèi yǒu yú ， qiě rén shù shǎo ， xiū wèi gāo ， biàn yú yǐn cáng xíng jì ， mán guò tiān yá hǎi gé de ěr mù méi yǒu wèn tí 。”
“不错，老衲担心的也是这个，一旦此阵开启，虽然最后也能攻破，但你我两派，却不知道要用多少弟子的性命去填了。”慧玄双目半开半阖，里面隐隐有精光闪烁：“所以老衲才会提议，让元婴期以上的修士赶来与此，牛竟与大队人马相比，他们遁光的速度要快上数倍有余，且人数少，修为高，便于隐藏行迹，瞒过天涯海阁的耳目没有问题。”
"Namaste, your concerns are well-founded. Ambushing the Skyfarer Sea Pavilion with our Core Formation experts will certainly be a surprise attack, but it’s impossible to break through their stronghold of Immortal Isle, which has been under siege for a million years," Master Huixuan said with a benevolent smile, yet his eyes revealed his cunning.
“ ń ， dà shī de suàn jì hěn bú cuò ， dàn nǐ wǒ liǎng pài ， zài jiā shàng nà xiē fù yōng de zōng mén jiā zú ， yě bù guò qū qū sān bǎi yú míng yuán yīng qī xiū xiān zhě ． cóng rén shù lái shuō ， wèi miǎn tài shǎo le yì diǎn ， jiù suàn jiā shàng běn wáng fū fù ， yǐ jí yǔ dà shī lián shǒu ， néng fǒu gōng pò tiān yá hǎi gé ， nán dù yě shì bù xiǎo de 。” qīng yuán shī wáng yǎn zhōng hóng máng shǎn shuò ， yǒu diǎn dān xīn de kāi kǒu le 。
“嗯，大师的算计很不错，但你我两派，再加上那些附庸的宗门家族，也不过区区三百余名元婴期修仙者．从人数来说，未免太少了一点，就算加上本王夫妇，以及与大师联手，能否攻破天涯海阁，难度也是不小的。”清源尸王眼中红芒闪烁，有点担心的开口了。
"Then what is your plan?" the Corpse King of Clear Origin bared his fangs and exuded an overwhelming stench of decay.
“ bù cuò ， wǒ kě tīng shuō ， tiān yá hǎi gé de nà xiē nǚ zǐ ， shàn cháng jiàn zhèn pèi hé ， rú guǒ zài jiè zhù jìn zhì fǔ zhù ， shí yú míng gāi pài de níng dān qī nǚ xiū ， jié chéng jiàn zhèn ， yǐ zú yǐ dǎng zhù yī míng yuán yīng qī de zhǎng lǎo le 。” shé xiē xiān zi yě zhuǎn guò tóu ， yīng chún wēi qǐ de shuō 。
“不错，我可听说，天涯海阁的那些女子，擅长剑阵配合，如果再借助禁制辅助，十余名该派的凝丹期女修，结成剑阵，已足以挡住一名元婴期的长老了。”蛇蝎仙子也转过头，樱唇微启的说。
"Master, you jest. How could I not trust my allies? My strategy is simple: we will have our Core Formation Elders lure their attention while we three sneak in," Master Huixuan said with a mysterious smile.
“ ē mí tuó fó ， xián fū fù de dān xīn ， lǎo nà yòu qǐ huì bù qīng chǔ ， jí jié yuán yīng qī yǐ shàng gāo shǒu tū xí tiān yá hǎi gé ， gù rán yǒu chū qí zhì shèng de xiào guǒ ， dàn jǐn píng zhè diǎn rén shǒu ， jiù xiàng gōng pò duì fāng jīng yíng bǎi wàn nián de yíng zhōu dǎo ， bù guò shì chī rén shuō mèng ， lǎo nà yòu bú shì sān suì ér tóng ， qǐ huì rú cǐ tiān zhēn de 。” huì tōng shuāng shǒu hé shí ， yī liǎn cí bēi zhī sè ， què xiǎn de zhì zhū zài wò 。
“阿弥陀佛，贤夫妇的担心，老衲又岂会不清楚，集结元婴期以上高手突袭天涯海阁，固然有出奇制胜的效果，但仅凭这点人手，就像攻破对方经营百万年的瀛洲岛，不过是痴人说梦，老衲又不是三岁儿童，岂会如此天真的。”慧通双手合十，一脸慈悲之色，却显得智珠在握。
"Sneaking into the Skyfarer Sea Pavilion to kill Dream Like-Yan?" the Corpse King of Clear Origin was taken aback, showing surprise.
“ ó ， nà dà shī yǒu shén me hǎo jì cè ， jiù kuài shuō shuō ， dōu dào le zhè shí hòu ， nán dào hái dǎ suàn duì wǒ fū qī bǎo mì bù chéng me ？” qīng yuán shī wáng liáo yá wài lù ， hún shēn de shī qì yě páng bó fān yǒng 。
“哦，那大师有什么好计策，就快说说，都到了这时候，难道还打算对我夫妻保密不成么？”清源尸王獠牙外露，浑身的尸气也磅礴翻涌。
"Of course not. Although Dream Like-Yan is arrogant and unreasonable, her strength cannot be underestimated. This place is deep in the sea with abundant water essence. Her Cloudfall Snow Sword Formation can add an extra thirty percent to its power. Killing her would be a joke," said the Corpse King of Clear Origin.
“ zhēn rén shuō xiào le ， lǎo nà qǐ huì rú cǐ bù xìn rèn méng yǒu ， qí shí wǒ de dǎ suàn hěn jiǎn dān ， yì fāng miàn ， ràng yuán yīng qī zhǎng lǎo men tū xí ， jǐn liàng miè shā tiān yá hǎi gé de dī jiē dì zǐ ， suī rán dòng yáo bù liǎo duì fāng de gēn běn ， dàn zào chéng yī xiē hùn luàn yīng gāi méi yǒu wèn tí 。”
“真人说笑了，老衲岂会如此不信任盟友，其实我的打算很简单，一方面，让元婴期长老们突袭，尽量灭杀天涯海阁的低阶弟子，虽然动摇不了对方的根本，但造成一些混乱应该没有问题。”
"Hmph. While Dream Like-Yan’s strength isn’t weak, Master is a late-stage Separation and Union cultivator. Advancing beyond this level is extremely difficult, but every step up in cultivation greatly enhances one's magical abilities. Compared to before, it’s incomparable," the Corpse King of Clear Origin sneered.
“ nà jiē xià lái yòu gāi rú hé ？” shé xiē xiān zi yǒu diǎn xīn jí de jiē kǒu le 。
“那接下来又该如何？”蛇蝎仙子有点心急的接口了。
"Your Highness speaks well. Even if killing Dream Like-Yan is challenging, it’s not impossible with Master’s current power and abilities," said the Fairy Lady with a Scorpion's Nature, her voice filled with allure.
“ jiē xià lái ， hěn jiǎn dān ， yǒu le hùn luàn ， wǒ men sān rén jiù kě yǐ hún shuǐ mō yú ， qián rù tiān yá hǎi gé lǐ 。” huì xuán de liǎn shàng lù chū yī sī shén mì de xiào yì 。
“接下来，很简单，有了混乱，我们三人就可以浑水摸鱼，潜入天涯海阁里。”慧玄的脸上露出一丝神秘的笑意。
"Namaste, your words are too kind." Master Huixuan shook his head. "My advancement to late-stage was merely luck, and I haven’t had enough time for my realm to stabilize. How could I possibly have greatly increased power?"
“ qián rù tiān yá hǎi gé ， mò fēi dà shī xiǎng yào cì shā mèng rú yān ？” qīng yuán shī wáng yī dāi ， yǒu diǎn yà rán 。
“潜入天涯海阁，莫非大师想要刺杀梦如嫣？”清源尸王一呆，有点讶然。
Despite the monk’s humility, the Corpse King and Fairy Lady didn't believe him. This old monk was cunning indeed, but as allies, they didn’t need to delve into this issue further.
“ dāng rán bú shì ， mèng rú yān suī xiāo zhāng bá hù ， bù jiǎng dào lǐ ， dàn shí lì què bù róng zhì yí ， zhè lǐ wèi yú dà hǎi shēn chù ， shuǐ yuán qì fēng fù yǐ jí ， tā de luò yún piāo xuě jué gèng kě yǐ píng tiān sān chéng de wēi lì ， cì shā tā ， zhēn rén mò fēi shì jiǎng xiào huà ？”
“当然不是，梦如嫣虽嚣张跋扈，不讲道理，但实力却不容置疑，这里位于大海深处，水元气丰富以极，她的落云飘雪诀更可以平添三成的威力，刺杀她，真人莫非是讲笑话？”
"How will you use our Core Formation experts to attract their attention while we three sneak in?" the Corpse King of Clear Origin asked slowly.
“ hēng ， mèng rú yān gù rán shí lì bù ruò ， dàn dà shī kě shì lí hé zhōng qī de xiū xiān zhě ， shí lì dào le wǒ men zhè ge děng jí ， xiǎng yào zài jìn yí bù ， gù rán kùn nán wú bǐ ， rán ér měi tí shēng yí gè jìng jiè ， fǎ lì shén tōng ， yě huì bào zhǎng yī dà jié ， yǔ yuán xiān xiāng bǐ ， gēn běn jiù bù kě tóng rì ér yǔ 。” qīng wú shī wáng lěng hēng le yī jù ， gān shòu de chǒu liǎn shàng ， yǐn yǐn shǎn guò xiàn mù zhī yì 。
“哼，梦如嫣固然实力不弱，但大师可是离合中期的修仙者，实力到了我们这个等级，想要再进一步，固然困难无比，然而每提升一个境界，法力神通，也会暴涨一大截，与原先相比，根本就不可同日而语。”清毋尸王冷哼了一句，干瘦的丑脸上，隐隐闪过羡慕之意。
"Simple. With our Core Formation experts drawing their attention, we can quietly enter and find the array’s weak point," Master Huixuan said with a smile.
“ fū jūn shuō dé bù cuò ， yǐ dà shī rú jīn de fǎ lì shén tōng ， miè shā mèng rú mā jiù suàn yǒu nán dù ， yě bìng fēi shì bù kě néng de 。” shé xiē xiān zi yě wǔ mèi wú bǐ de kāi kǒu le 。
“夫君说得不错，以大师如今的法力神通，灭杀梦如妈就算有难度，也并非是不可能的。”蛇蝎仙子也妩媚无比的开口了。
"Sneaking into the Skyfarer Sea Pavilion to kill Dream Like-Yan? Isn’t that your goal?" the Corpse King of Clear Origin asked in surprise.
“ ē mí tuó fó ， xián fū fù miù zàn le 。” huì xuán yáo le yáo tóu ：“ lǎo nà néng gòu jìn jí dào zhōng qī ， bù guò yùn qì ， ér qiě shí jiān tài duǎn ， jìng jiè dōu méi yǒu wán quán wěn gù ， nǎ shuō dé shàng shí lì dà zhǎng shén me 。”
“阿弥陀佛，贤夫妇谬赞了。”慧玄摇了摇头：“老衲能够晋级到中期，不过运气，而且时间太短，境界都没有完全稳固，哪说得上实力大涨什么。”
"Of course not. While Dream Like-Yan is arrogant, her strength cannot be underestimated. If we can defeat or kill her, the Skyfarer Sea Pavilion will surely suffer a crushing defeat," Master Huixuan said with a hint of malice in his eyes.
duì fāng dī diào qiān xū ， shī wáng fū qī zì rán bù xiāng xìn tā fǒu rèn de yán yǔ ， zhè lǎo hé shàng jiǎo huá yǐ jí ， dāng rán ， shuāng fāng shì méng yǒu guān xì ， zàn shí yě méi yǒu bì yào zài zhè ge wèn tí shàng jiū chán xià qù 。
对方低调谦虚，尸王夫妻自然不相信他否认的言语，这老和尚狡猾以极，当然，双方是盟友关系，暂时也没有必要在这个问题上纠缠下去。
"But if we really kill Dream Like-Yan, won’t you get into trouble?" the Corpse King of Clear Origin asked hoarsely.
“ ràng yuán yīng xiū shì xī yǐn duì fāng zhù yì ， wǒ men sān rén ， zé qiǎo rán qián rù ， nà dà shī de mù dì shì shén me ？” qīng yuán shī wáng huǎn huǎn de kāi kǒu le 。
“让元婴修士吸引对方注意，我们三人，则悄然潜入，那大师的目的是什么？”清源尸王缓缓的开口了。
"Trouble? The Skyfarer Sea Pavilion and Pine Wind Academy have never been on good terms. But how can Master not know about the connection between Tower of Hope and this woman? Back then, Fairy Ice was known as the first beauty in the Twelve Cloud States. Tower of Hope nearly became her brother-in-law," the Corpse King of Clear Origin said slowly.
“ hē hē ， hěn jiǎn dān ， lǎo nà yǐ jīng shuō guò ， tiān yá hǎi gé de jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn zhèn nǎi shì shàng gǔ chuán xià lái de ， wēi lì wú bǐ ， yí dàn kāi qǐ ， wǒ men xiǎng yào gōng pò ， jiù bì xū yòng rén mìng qù tián ， dàn cǐ zhèn yě yǒu ruò diǎn ， zài jiǔ gōng zhī zhōng ， yǒu yī chù zhèn yǎn ， zhǐ yào jiāng qí pò huài ， zhè zhèn fǎ jiù wú fǎ dǎ kāi ．．．．．．” huì xuán shuō dào zhè lǐ ， liǎn shàng rěn bú zhù lù chū jǐ fēn jiān xiào zhī yì ：“ nà ge shí hòu ， hù pài dà zhèn wú fǎ kāi qǐ ， suī rán yíng zhōu dǎo shàng ， kěn dìng hái yǒu xǔ duō bié de zhèn fǎ jìn zhì ， dàn yòng chǔ bù dà ， děng wǒ men dà duì rén mǎ gǎn dào ， yǐ duō dǎ shǎo ， hái pà tiān yá hǎi gé bù bèi gōng pò ， nà xiē jiàn bì pài huǐ rén wáng me ， bì jìng yǐ tā yī pài zhī lì ， nǎ shì wǒ liǎng dà zōng mén lián shǒu zhī dí 。”
“呵呵，很简单，老衲已经说过，天涯海阁的九宫须臾剑阵乃是上古传下来的，威力无比，一旦开启，我们想要攻破，就必须用人命去填，但此阵也有弱点，在九宫之中，有一处阵眼，只要将其破坏，这阵法就无法打开．．．．．．”慧玄说到这里，脸上忍不住露出几分奸笑之意：“那个时候，护派大阵无法开启，虽然瀛洲岛上，肯定还有许多别的阵法禁制，但用处不大，等我们大队人马赶到，以多打少，还怕天涯海阁不被攻破，那些贱婢派毁人亡么，毕竟以她一派之力，哪是我两大宗门联手之敌。”
"Then you're afraid?" the Fairy Lady with a Scorpion's Nature asked with a hint of anger.
qīng yuán shī wáng tīng dào zhè lǐ ， rěn bú zhù huí tóu kàn le yī yǎn ài qī ， liǎng míng lǎo guài wù dōu xīn zhōng yī lǐn ， hù pài dà zhèn de ruò diǎn ， nǎi shì yí gè mén pài zuì dà de yǐn mì ， zhī dào de rén liáo liáo wú jǐ ， huì xuán zěn me huì xīn zhōng yǒu shù ， nán dào zài hěn zǎo yǐ qián ， liǎng pài hái méi yǒu jiāo wù ， tā jiù yǐ jīng zài mù móu tiān yá hǎi gé ， ér qiě hái mǎi tōng le gāi pài de gāo céng ， zuò zì jǐ nèi yìng ？
清源尸王听到这里，忍不住回头看了一眼爱妻，两名老怪物都心中一凛，护派大阵的弱点，乃是一个门派最大的隐秘，知道的人寥寥无几，慧玄怎么会心中有数，难道在很早以前，两派还没有交恶，他就已经在目谋天涯海阁，而且还买通了该派的高层，做自己内应？
"Not at all. If Dream Like-Yan dares to come out, it would be better. Defeating or killing her will surely demoralize the Skyfarer Sea Pavilion," Master Huixuan said with malice in his eyes.
zhè lǎo hé shàng ， hǎo shēn de xīn jī 。
这老和尚，好深的心机。
"But if we really kill Dream Like-Yan, won’t you get into trouble?" the Corpse King of Clear Origin asked hoarsely.
liǎng rén yě bù yóu de àn àn jiè jù 。
两人也不由得暗暗戒惧。
"Trouble? The Skyfarer Sea Pavilion and Pine Wind Academy have never been on good terms. But how can Master not know about the connection between Tower of Hope and this woman? Back then, Fairy Ice was known as the first beauty in the Twelve Cloud States. Tower of Hope nearly became her brother-in-law," the Corpse King of Clear Origin said slowly.
After the twelve cultivators descended from their light formations, they each closed their eyes and directed their gaze towards Immortal Isle.
Less than half a cup of tea later, satisfaction spread across all their faces.
"Master Huixuan truly has an excellent plan. The Skyfarer Sea Pavilion's lowly maid wouldn't have thought we were still here on Great Gold Island, but your and my sects' high-ranking officials had already infiltrated this place," the Corpse King of Clear Origin's face showed a hint of viciousness, yet his tone remained utterly calm as he spoke.
"Indeed. Although it is not uncommon for both sides to send their vanguard forces in battle, they are usually composed of Foundation Establishment and Condensation Core disciples who test each other’s strength. But this time, we have deployed all our elite forces, sending our Core Formation experts ahead so that we can catch them off guard," the Fairy Lady with a Scorpion's Nature giggled seductively, her voice filled with allure.
"Namaste, I had no choice but to act as I did." Master Huixuan sighed compassionately. "The Skyfarer Sea Pavilion has gone against the ways of heaven and earth. Your two sects must fight for justice, thus you have no choice but to exterminate demons."
Before he could finish speaking, several old monsters from Great Desolate Valley were already shivering all over.

"Namaste, your words are too kind." Master Huixuan shook his head. "My advancement to late-stage was merely luck, and I haven’t had enough time for my realm to stabilize. How could I possibly have greatly increased power?"
Despite the monk’s humility, the Corpse King and Fairy Lady didn't believe him. This old monk was cunning indeed, but as allies, they didn’t need to delve into this issue further.
"How will you use our Core Formation experts to attract their attention while we three sneak in?" the Corpse King of Clear Origin asked slowly.
"Simple. With our Core Formation experts drawing their attention, we can quietly enter and find the array’s weak point," Master Huixuan said with a smile.
"Sneaking into the Skyfarer Sea Pavilion to kill Dream Like-Yan? Isn’t that your goal?" the Corpse King of Clear Origin asked in surprise.
"Of course not. While Dream Like-Yan is arrogant, her strength cannot be underestimated. If we can defeat or kill her, the Skyfarer Sea Pavilion will surely suffer a crushing defeat," Master Huixuan said with a hint of malice in his eyes.
"But if we really kill Dream Like-Yan, won’t you get into trouble?" the Corpse King of Clear Origin asked hoarsely.
"Trouble? The Skyfarer Sea Pavilion and Pine Wind Academy have never been on good terms. But how can Master not know about the connection between Tower of Hope and this woman? Back then, Fairy Ice was known as the first beauty in the Twelve Cloud States. Tower of Hope nearly became her brother-in-law," the Corpse King of Clear Origin said slowly.
"Then you're afraid?" the Fairy Lady with a Scorpion's Nature asked with a hint of anger.
"Not at all. If Dream Like-Yan dares to come out, it would be better. Defeating or killing her will surely demoralize the Skyfarer Sea Pavilion," Master Huixuan said with malice in his eyes.
"But if we really kill Dream Like-Yan, won’t you get into trouble?" the Corpse King of Clear Origin asked hoarsely.
