， yǒu hé bù kě ， shǎo qǐng zhī hòu ， běn zūn hái yào jiāng nǐ chōu hún liàn pò ……
，有何不可，少顷之后，本尊还要将你抽魂炼魄……
, Why not? In a moment, I will extract your soul and refine your essence...
lín xuān yún dàn fēng qíng de kāi kǒu le ， rán ér yǔ qì zhī xiāo zhāng bá hù ， lián mèng rú yān yě wèi zhī cè mù 。
林轩云淡风情的开口了，然而语气之嚣张跋扈，连梦如嫣也为之侧目。
Lin Xuan spoke with a casual tone, but his arrogant and domineering manner made even Meng Ruyan turn to look at him.
yǐ shǒu yǎn kǒu ， jī hū yǐ wéi zì jǐ tīng cuò ， zài tā de yìn xiàng zhōng ， dì di yí xiàng shì fēi cháng dī diào de ， wèi hé tū rán zhī jiān ， huì xìng qíng dà biàn ， ruò bú shì lín xuān shēn shàng de líng lì bō dòng ， tā fēi cháng shú ， jī hū yào yǐ wéi yǎn qián zhī rén ， shì mào míng dǐng tì de 。
以手掩口，几乎以为自己听错，在她的印象中，弟弟一向是非常低调的，为何突然之间，会性情大变，若不是林轩身上的灵力波动，她非常熟，几乎要以为眼前之人，是冒名顶替的。
Covering her mouth with her hand, she almost thought she had heard wrong. Her younger brother was always very low-key, so why would he suddenly change his character? If not for the fluctuations in Lin Xuan's essence energy, she would have almost believed that this person before her was a pretender.
tā zhè yàng zuò ， wèi miǎn yǒu xiē tài bù zhī shēn qiǎn le 。
他这样做，未免有些太不知深浅了。
His actions were too rash and shallow.
jiāng yǎn qián de lǎo guài wù jī nù ， kě yào miàn duì fēi cháng yán zhòng de hòu guǒ ， mèng rú yān de liǎn shàng mǎn shì dān xīn zhī sè 。
将眼前的老怪物激怒，可要面对非常严重的后果，梦如嫣的脸上满是担心之色。
Provoking an old monster like him could lead to severe consequences. Meng Ruyan's face was filled with concern.
“ hǎo hǎo ， yǐ jīng jǐ bǎi nián méi yǒu rén gǎn tóng běn zūn rú cǐ jiǎng huà le ， yī huì er wǒ yào ràng nǐ qiú shēng bù néng ， qiú sǐ bù dé ， hòu huǐ dào zhè shì shàng ， lái zǒu le zhè me yī zhāo 。”， wàn jiāo wáng yǎn zhōng shǎn guò xuè hóng sè de guāng máng ， què méi yǒu lì kè chū shǒu ， ér shì nù jí fǎn xiào 。
“好好，已经几百年没有人敢同本尊如此讲话了，一会儿我要让你求生不能，求死不得，后悔到这世上，来走了这么一朝。”，万蛟王眼中闪过血红色的光芒，却没有立刻出手，而是怒极反笑。
"Very well, no one has dared to speak to me in such a manner for several hundred years. Soon, I will make you regret coming into this world," the Ten Thousand Serpent King's eyes flashed with blood-red light but did not immediately attack; instead, he laughed bitterly.
tā zì wèn bù jí wàng tíng lóu ， yě bú shì nà gǔ mó shèng zǔ de duì shǒu ， dàn duì fù yǎn qián jiě dì èr rén de lián shǒu ， hái shì chuò chuò yǒu yú de 。
他自问不及望亭楼，也不是那古魔圣祖的对手，但对付眼前姐弟二人的联手，还是绰绰有余的。
He knew that he was no match for Wang Tinglou or the ancient demon sage, but dealing with his younger brother and sister together would be more than enough.
huà yīn gāng luò ， tā shēn shàng yāo qì pēn bó ， bú yòng shuō ， yǐ shì zhǔn bèi mǎ shàng jiù yào chū shǒu le 。
话音刚落，他身上妖气喷薄，不用说，已是准备马上就要出手了。
As soon as these words left his mouth, Wang Tinglou's expression changed. He smiled and said, "Haha, who said I intended to meddle in your affairs..."
rán ér piān piān jiù zài zhè shí ， yī chū rén yì liào de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， lǐ miàn dài zhe jǐ fēn yōu rán zhī sè ：“ ràng zhè wèi lín dào yǒu qiú shēng bù néng ， qiú sǐ bù dé ， lǎo jiāo lóng ， jiù píng nǐ de shí lì ， kǒng pà hái zuò bú dào zhè yì diǎn de *……”
然而偏偏就在这时，一出人意料的声音传入耳朵，里面带着几分悠然之色：“让这位林道友求生不能，求死不得，老蛟龙，就凭你的实力，恐怕还做不到这一点的*……”
Wang Tinglou's words had just finished when the Ten Thousand Serpent King was overjoyed. With his status, he would not lie.
yuán běn qì yàn xiāo zhāng de wàn jiāo wáng ， zài tīng jiàn zhè jù huà yǐ hòu ， liǎn sè què sà rán dà biàn le ， zhuǎn guò tóu lú ， zhǐ jiàn yuǎn fāng tiān jì ， yī zǐ hóng sè de guāng diǎn chū xiàn zài shì xiàn lǐ ， zhèng shì huǎn shí jí ， cháo zhe zhè biān fēi le guò qù 。
原本气焰嚣张的万蛟王，在听见这句话以后，脸色却飒然大变了，转过头颅，只见远方天际，一紫红色的光点出现在视线里，正似缓实急，朝着这边飞了过去。
Meng Ruyan's face turned pale as she quickly appeared beside Lin Xuan.
lǐ miàn rén yǐng shǎn dòng ， yī zhōng nián xiū shì cáng yú qí zhōng ， sān lǚ zhǎng xū ， róng mào rú yǎ yǐ jí 。
里面人影闪动，一中年修士藏于其中，三缕长须，容貌儒雅以极。
"You don't want to get involved, so why did you come here? I will stand by my brother and die with him," Meng Ruyan said. After all, Lin Xuan was dragged into this situation due to her. With such a nature, she would not abandon him even if he were a cultivator. Sometimes, they could be quite chivalrous.
“ wàng tíng lóu *……”
“望亭楼*……”
The Ten Thousand Serpent King frowned, but Wang Tinglou seemed indifferent. He crossed his arms behind his back and said with a carefree expression, "Ruyan, why the rush? With that old serpent's strength, even after another hundred years of cultivation, he can't harm Lin Xuan."
wàn jiāo wáng de liǎn sè sà rán yīn chén xià qù ， wú qiǎo bù qiǎo ， zěn me piān piān zhè shí yǔ duì fāng xiāng yù 。
万蛟王的脸色飒然阴沉下去，无巧不巧，怎么偏偏这时与对方相遇。
"What?" Meng Ruyan was shocked, her eyes filled with disbelief. The Ten Thousand Serpent King laughed loudly: "Brother Tinglou, are you joking? I am the top expert in the demon race; how could a mere cultivator who just entered the Separation Realm defeat me?"
tóng wèi lí hé ， tā yǔ rú bīng xiān zi de jiū gé wàn jiāo wáng qǐ huì méi yǒu tīng guò ？
同为离合，他与如冰仙子的纠葛万蛟王岂会没有听过？
"Believe it or not, a cultivator's strength is not solely determined by their realm. Even if you don't believe me, if we fight alone, the odds are fifty-fifty," Wang Tinglou said seriously.
cóng mǒu zhǒng yì yì lái shuō ” tā shì rú yān xiān zi de jiě fū ， cǐ shí cǐ kè ， kěn dìng bú huì xiù shǒu páng guān de 。
从某种意义来说”他是如嫣仙子的姐夫，此时此刻，肯定不会袖手旁观的。
The Ten Thousand Serpent King's laughter stopped as he turned his head to look at Wang Tinglou, trying to judge how much of what he said was true.
jiù zhè me tuì qù ， wàn jiāo wáng zì rán xīn yǒu bù gān ， bù shuō lí kāi le cǐ chù ” gēn běn méi yǒu jī huì zài zhǎo zhè yàng hǎo de dǐng lú ， jiù shì lín xuān nà xiǎo jiā huo ， yī zài shì zì jǐ wèi wú wù ， wú lùn rú hé ， yòu zěn me kě yǐ jiāng tā fàng guò ？
就这么退去，万蛟王自然心有不甘，不说离开了此处”根本没有机会再找这样好的鼎炉，就是林轩那小家伙，一再视自己为无物，无论如何，又怎么可以将他放过？
Meng Ruyan's face showed surprise. She knew more about Wang Tinglou than the Ten Thousand Serpent King; he wasn't a person who liked to lie.
bù jiāng qí chōu hún liàn pò ， shí zài nán xiāo zì jǐ xīn tóu zhī hèn de 。
不将其抽魂炼魄，实在难消自己心头之恨的。
But the idea that Lin Xuan could match the top expert in the demon race seemed too absurd.
niàn tou shàng wèi zhuǎn guò ， wàng tíng lóu yǐ jīng lái dào yǎn pīn le 。
念头尚未转过，望亭楼已经来到眼拼了。
"Hmph, I don't need to deceive you. Do you know who killed the ancient demon?"
“ dào yǒu zhè huà hé yì ， nán dào chú le rú yān xiān zi ， lián zhè xìng lín de xiǎo jiā huo ， nǐ yě zhǔn bèi wéi hù ？”， wàn jiāo wáng liǎn shàng shǎn guò yī mǒ lì sè ， è hěn hěn de kāi kǒu le ， rán ér tā shuō zhè huà ， què shì yǒu jiǎng jiū ， biǎo miàn fēng máng bì lù ， shí jì shàng què yǐ xiàng hòu tuì le yī bù 。
“道友这话何意，难道除了如嫣仙子，连这姓林的小家伙，你也准备维护？”，万蛟王脸上闪过一抹厉色，恶狠狠的开口了，然而他说这话，却是有讲究，表面锋芒毕露，实际上却已向后退了一步。
"Is it that Lin boy? Impossible. Although the ancient demon is only at the early Separation Realm stage, he is a fragment of a great existence from the upper realm, and his abilities are countless. His strength can't be inferior to us," the Ten Thousand Serpent King exclaimed, still showing disbelief but with someshake.
bì jìng tā yě bù xiǎng yǔ tíng lóu jiāo wù ， dòng qǐ shǒu lái ， zì jǐ shì sī háo shèng suàn yě wú 。
毕竟他也不想与亭楼交恶，动起手来，自己是丝毫胜算也无。
"Believe it or not, Lin Xuan's abilities can match mine. He has three divine treasures on him now. If you can eliminate them, those items will all belong to you," Wang Tinglou said mysteriously.
“ hē hē ， shuí shuō wǒ dǎ suàn guǎn nǐ hé lín dào yǒu jiān de xián shì le ……”
“呵呵，谁说我打算管你和林道友间的闲事了……”
"What?" The Ten Thousand Serpent King's face showed greed before quickly fading away as he turned his head back to Lin Xuan. His mood was completely different from just now; he had thought the other party was a weak opponent but found out that this cultivator was stronger than him.
wàng tíng lóu huà yīn wèi luò ， wàn jiāo wáng yǐ shì dà xǐ ， yǐ duì fāng de shēn fèn ， dāng bù zhì yú huǎng yán xiāng qī 。
望亭楼话音未落，万蛟王已是大喜，以对方的身份，当不致于谎言相欺。
On the other side, Meng Ruyan's expression was similar.
ér rú yān xiān zi zé liǎn sè kuáng biàn ， shēn xíng yī shǎn ， yǐ chū xiàn zài le lín xuān de páng biān 。
而如嫣仙子则脸色狂变，身形一闪，已出现在了林轩的旁边。
Although she knew Lin Xuan's strength far exceeded that of his peers, such a level of strength still seemed unbelievable.
“ nǐ jì rán bù yuàn yì duō guǎn xián shì ， nà yòu hé bì lái dào zhè lǐ ， wǒ zì rán huì yǔ dì di ， tóng shēng gòng sǐ *……” mèng rú yān de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， bì jìng lín xuān kě shuō shì bèi zì jǐ suǒ tuō lěi de ， yǐ cǐ nǚ de xìng gé ” dāng rán bú huì shě tā ér qù ， jiù suàn shì xiū xiān zhě ， yǒu shí hòu yě huì jiǎng yì qì 。
“你既然不愿意多管闲事，那又何必来到这里，我自然会与弟弟，同生共死*……”梦如嫣的声音传入耳朵，毕竟林轩可说是被自己所拖累的，以此女的性格”当然不会舍他而去，就算是修仙者，有时候也会讲义气。
Wang Tinglou spoke with conviction, and there was no need for him to lie.
wàn jiāo wáng tīng le ” méi tóu liù zhòu ， wàng tíng lóu què mǎn bù zài hū ” dào bèi shuāng shǒu ， yī liǎn de yōu rán zhī sè ：“ rú yān mèi zi ， nǐ yòu hé bì xīn jí ， yǐ zhè lǎo jiāo lóng de shí lì ， zài liàn yì bǎi nián ， yě nài hé bù liǎo lín dào yǒu dì *……”
万蛟王听了”眉头六皱，望亭楼却满不在乎”倒背双手，一脸的悠然之色：“如嫣妹子，你又何必心急，以这老蛟龙的实力，再练一百年，也奈何不了林道友地*……”
Both were surprised, but unlike the Ten Thousand Serpent King's disappointment, Meng Ruyan's heart was filled with excitement.
“ shén me ？”， mèng rú yān jīng dāi le ， měi mù zhōng mǎn shì bù xìn zhī sè ， wàn jiāo wáng zé yī lèng zhī hòu ， jiù hā hā hā de kuáng xiào qǐ lái le ：“ tíng lóu xiōng ， nǐ shì shuō xiào huà me ， wǒ ， yāo zú dì yī gāo shǒu ， huì duì fù bù liǎo yī gāng mài rù lí hé de xiǎo jiā huo ？”
“什么？”，梦如嫣惊呆了，美目中满是不信之色，万蛟王则一愣之后，就哈哈哈的狂笑起来了：“亭楼兄，你是说笑话么，我，妖族第一高手，会对付不了一刚迈入离合的小家伙？”
Her eyes sparkled; if Lin Xuan had such power, their chances of ascending to the divine realm would increase significantly.
“ xìn bù xìn yóu nǐ ， xiū xiān zhě de shí lì ， kě bù guāng jué dìng yú jìng jiè ， bié shuō nǐ ， jiù suàn wǒ yǔ zhè wèi lín xiǎo dì dān dǎ dú dòu ， shèng fù zhī shù ， yě bù guò wǔ wǔ *……” wàng tíng lóu tàn le 。 qì ， yī běn zhèng jīng de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ 。
“信不信由你，修仙者的实力，可不光决定于境界，别说你，就算我与这位林小弟单打独斗，胜负之数，也不过五五*……”望亭楼叹了。气，一本正经的声音传入耳朵。
"Two friends, what do you mean by this? Are you dissatisfied with how the treasures are distributed and now planning to team up with the Ten Thousand Serpent King against me?" Lin Xuan's calm words echoed. His statement indirectly confirmed Wang Tinglou's earlier claims.
wàn jiāo wáng de xiào shēng gā rán ér zhǐ le ， cè guò tóu lú ， mù guāng zài wàng tíng lóu liǎn shàng sǎo guò ， sì hū xiǎng fēn biàn tā zhè fān huà ， jiū jìng yǒu jǐ fēn de kě xìn dù 。
万蛟王的笑声嘎然而止了，侧过头颅，目光在望亭楼脸上扫过，似乎想分辨他这番话，究竟有几分的可信度。
"I misunderstand; I would never go back on my word, I just happened to be here and am preparing to take advantage of this opportunity," Wang Tinglou said coldly.
rú yān xiān zi de liǎn shàng zé mǎn shì jīng yà zhī sè ， bǐ qǐ wàn jiāo wáng ， tā duì wàng tíng lóu de liǎo jiě gèng duō ， duì fāng kě bú shì xǐ huān shuō huǎng de rén wù 。
如嫣仙子的脸上则满是惊讶之色，比起万蛟王，她对望亭楼的了解更多，对方可不是喜欢说谎的人物。
"Taking advantage? You also want to find trouble with the Ten Thousand Serpent King. Now is perfect; we can team up to eliminate this monster together," Wang Tinglou said confidently.
kě ruò shuō lín xuān de shí lì ， néng yǔ rén jiè dì yī gāo shǒu bìng jià qí qū ， tā hái shì jué de tài guò huāng miù le yī xiē 。
可若说林轩的实力，能与人界第一高手并驾齐驱，她还是觉得太过荒谬了一些。
"What are you saying, you just said you wouldn't get involved in others' affairs," the Ten Thousand Serpent King's face turned red.
“ hēng ， běn zuò méi yǒu bì yào piàn nǐ ， nǐ kě zhī dào nà gǔ mó ， zuì hòu shì sǐ zài le shéi de shǒu zhōng ？”
“哼，本座没有必要骗你，你可知道那古魔，最后是死在了谁的手中？”
"Indeed, I did say that, but my intention was to kill you. Now, it is merely a coincidence," Wang Tinglou said coldly.
“ nán dào shì xìng lín de xiǎo zi ？ bù kě néng ， gǔ mó suī yě cái lí hé chū qī ， dàn què shì shàng jiè dà néng cún zài de fēn hún jiàng shì ， dǒng de de guǐ yì shén tōng bù jì qí shù ， qí shí lì jué bú huì xùn yú wǒ men zhè yàng de lí hé hòu qī xiū xiān zhě 。”， wàn jiāo wáng tuō kǒu jīng hū ， liǎn shàng réng shì bù xìn zhī sè ， dàn hěn míng xiǎn ， tā liǎn shàng de biǎo qíng ， yǐ yǒu xiē kāi shǐ dòng yáo le 。
“难道是姓林的小子？不可能，古魔虽也才离合初期，但却是上界大能存在的分魂降世，懂得的诡异神通不计其数，其实力绝不会逊于我们这样的离合后期修仙者。”，万蛟王脱口惊呼，脸上仍是不信之色，但很明显，他脸上的表情，已有些开始动摇了。
"Why? Although we have some grudges, our enmity isn't so deep that it would lead us to die together. Why..." the Ten Thousand Serpent King said in anger and shock.
“ xìn bù xìn yóu nǐ ， lín dào yǒu de shén tōng ， què shí néng yǔ běn zūn bìng jià qí qū ， tā xiàn zài shēn shàng hái yǒu sān jiàn xiān rén de bǎo wù ， dào yǒu ruò shì néng jiāng qí miè chú ， nà xiē dōng xī kě jiù quán guī nǐ le 。” wàng tíng lóu shēng yīn guǐ yì de shuō 。
“信不信由你，林道友的神通，确实能与本尊并驾齐驱，他现在身上还有三件仙人的宝物，道友若是能将其灭除，那些东西可就全归你了。”望亭楼声音诡异的说。
"Your words are correct, but I want to kill you not for personal reasons but for the benefit of humanity," Wang Tinglou said with a righteous expression.
“ shén me ？” wàn jiāo wáng tīng le ， liǎn shàng xiān shì shǎn guò jǐ fēn tān lán zhī sè ， dàn hěn kuài yòu yǐn qù le ， chóng xīn zhuǎn guò tóu lú ， mù guāng yǔ lín xuān xiāng chù ， dàn cǐ shí de xīn qíng ， yǔ gāng gāng què shì jiǒng rán bù tóng ， yuán běn yǐ wéi shì xiǎo zú ， méi xiǎng dào què shì shí lì bǐ zì jǐ gèng qiáng dà de xiū xiān zhě ， qǐ ……， kě néng me ？
“什么？”万蛟王听了，脸上先是闪过几分贪婪之色，但很快又隐去了，重新转过头颅，目光与林轩相触，但此时的心情，与刚刚却是迥然不同，原本以为是小卒，没想到却是实力比自己更强大的修仙者，起……，可能么？
"For the sake of all humans..."
lìng yī cè ， mèng rú yān de biǎo qíng yě chà bu duō 。
另一侧，梦如嫣的表情也差不多。
"Yes, before my ascension, even if you had ambitions, it wouldn't cause much trouble. But now that I am about to ascend, if I leave you here..." Wang Tinglou's words trailed off, but his meaning was clear.
suī rán tā zǎo jiù zhī dào lín xuān de shí lì yuǎn yuǎn chāo guò tóng jiē xiū xiān zhě ， dàn qiáng dà dào rú sī dì bù ， hái shì tài lìng rén nán yǐ xiāng xìn le 。
虽然她早就知道林轩的实力远远超过同阶修仙者，但强大到如斯地步，还是太令人难以相信了。
"The Netherworld Gate has only three days left. Originally, I planned to eliminate you; meeting you here is just too perfect," Wang Tinglou said as he turned his head towards Lin Xuan: "Lin Xuan, would you like to team up with me again?"
ěr wàng tíng lóu shuō dé yǒu bǎn yǒu yǎn ， hé kuàng tā yě méi yǒu bì yào biān zào zhè ge huǎng yán 。
耳望亭楼说得有板有眼，何况他也没有必要编造这个谎言。
"Of course." Lin Xuan's face showed a strange smile. "I am an human cultivator after all, and for the sake of my race, I will do what I can. Sister, let's go together..."
tóng shì jīng yà ， dàn yǔ wàn jiāo wáng de jǔ sàng bù tóng ， rú yān xiān zi xīn zhōng kě shì chōng mǎn le xīng * fèn zhī sè 。
同是惊讶，但与万蛟王的沮丧不同，如嫣仙子心中可是充满了兴*奋之色。
"Agreed!" Meng Ruyan smiled. Her Shadowfall Sword returned to her hand as they formed a 'pin' shape, standing in a tripod formation. The Ten Thousand Serpent King had no chance of escaping.
měi mù zhōng yì cǎi lián lián ， lín jǐng ruò zhēn yǒu zhè yàng de shí lì ， nà fēi shēng líng jiè de xī wàng zì rán yòu dà le yī xiē 。
美目中异彩连连，林井若真有这样的实力，那飞升灵界的希望自然又大了一些。
The hunter became the prey. At this moment, the old serpent's expression was filled with excitement and fear.
“ dào yǒu zhè huà hé yì ， gāi bú huì shì duì bǎo wù de fēn pèi bù mǎn ， xiàn zài zhǔn bèi yǔ wàn jiāo wáng lián shǒu zhǎo wǒ de má fán ？”， lín xuān dàn dàn de huà yǔ chuán rù ěr duǒ ， suǒ shuō de nèi róng yě suàn biàn xiàng kěn dìng le wàng tíng lóu gāng cái suǒ jiǎng de shì shí 。
“道友这话何意，该不会是对宝物的分配不满，现在准备与万蛟王联手找我的麻烦？”，林轩淡淡的话语传入耳朵，所说的内容也算变相肯定了望亭楼刚才所讲的事实。
In the Soul Perception Space,
“ dào yǒu wù huì le ， wàng mǒu qǐ huì gàn nà chū ěr fǎn ěr zhī shì ， wǒ lái zhè lǐ ， bù guò shì féng qí huì ér yǐ ， xiàn zài què zhǔn bèi luò jǐng xià shí *……”
“道友误会了，望某岂会干那出尔反尔之事，我来这里，不过适逢其会而已，现在却准备落井下石*……”
The collapse of the underground palace did not affect him; it was an independent interface.
“ luò jǐng xià shí ？”， lín xuān yī dāi ， liǎn shàng yě bù yóu de fú xiàn chū jǐ fēn gǔ guài 。
“落井下石？”，林轩一呆，脸上也不由得浮现出几分古怪。
"How about it? Do you want to sign a coexistence contract with me?" The shadow slowly spoke.
“ bù cuò ， wǒ yě zhǔn bèi zhǎo nà wàn jiāo wáng de má fán ， rú jīn zài hǎo bù guò ， zhèng hǎo yǔ liǎng wèi dào yǒu lián shǒu yì qǐ jiāng zhè niè chù gěi miè le *……”
“不错，我也准备找那万蛟王的麻烦，如今再好不过，正好与两位道友联手一起将这孽畜给灭了*……”
Tian Xiaojian remained in deep thought. He had already considered all possible scenarios countless times. The other party was just a fragment of a spirit, and there was no way he would possess him.
“ nǐ shuō shén me ， nǐ gāng gāng míng míng jiǎng guò ， bù zhǔn bèi duō guǎn xián shì de *……” tīng le wàng tíng lóu de yán yǔ ， wàn jiāo wáng bù yóu de bó rán biàn sè 。
“你说什么，你刚刚明明讲过，不准备多管闲事的*……”听了望亭楼的言语，万蛟王不由得勃然变色。
They say that hunger kills the timid and satiety the bold; to seize an opportunity, one must be willing to take risks.
“ bù cuò ， běn zūn shì jiǎng guò bù duō guǎn xián shì ， dàn wǒ de běn yì ， yě shì xiǎng yào jiāng nǐ shā le ， xiàn zài bù guò shì féng qí huì bà le 。”， wàng tíng lóu lěng xiào zhe shuō 。
“不错，本尊是讲过不多管闲事，但我的本意，也是想要将你杀了，现在不过适逢其会罢了。”，望亭楼冷笑着说。
"I agree," the shadow was delighted: "Since you agree, I will teach you a spell. With our cooperation, we can form a coexistence contract..."
“ wèi hé ， nǐ wǒ zhī jiān suī yǒu yì diǎn guò jié ， dàn chóu yuàn gēn běn jiù méi yǒu dào bù gòng dài tiān de dì bù ， nǐ wèi hé ……”， wàn jiāo wáng jīng nù wàn fēn de shuō 。
“为何，你我之间虽有一点过节，但仇怨根本就没有到不共戴天的地步，你为何……”，万蛟王惊怒万分的说。
Boom!
“ nǐ zhè huà méi cuò ， dàn wǒ yào shā nǐ ， què bú shì wèi gè rén zhī jiān de ēn chóu ， ér shì wèi le zhěng gè rén zú lì yì kǎo lǜ *……” wàng tíng lóu de liǎn shàng ， mǎn shì dà yì lǐn rán zhī qì 。
“你这话没错，但我要杀你，却不是为个人之间的恩仇，而是为了整个人族利益考虑*……”望亭楼的脸上，满是大义凛然之气。
A massive dragon, several dozen meters long, fell from the sky and created a deep pit on the ground.
“ zhěng gè rén zú de lì yì *……”
“整个人族的利益*……”
Facing Lin Xuan, Wang Tinglou, and Meng Ruyan together, the Ten Thousand Serpent King had no chance; his hatred was the only result. Even his soul and essence were destroyed by Lin Xuan's Illusory Heavenly Fire.
“ bù cuò ， yǐ qián yǒu běn zūn zuò zhèn tiān yún shí èr zhōu ， nǐ wàn jiāo wáng jiù suàn shì yě xīn wàn zhàng ， yě fān bù qǐ duō dà de fēng làng ， kě xiàn zài wǒ fēi shēng zài jí ， rú guǒ zài liú xià nǐ ……” wàng tíng lóu de huà méi yǒu shuō wán ， dàn tā de yì si yǐ fēi cháng míng xiǎn 。
“不错，以前有本尊坐镇天云十二州，你万蛟王就算是野心万丈，也翻不起多大的风浪，可现在我飞升在即，如果再留下你……”望亭楼的话没有说完，但他的意思已非常明显。
The process was not dangerous; both Lin Xuan and Wang Tinglou's strength did not fall short of the Ten Thousand Serpent King's, and there were three against one.

“修罗之门只剩下最后三天，原本我就打算将你灭除，能够在这里相遇，实在是太好了。”亭楼话音未落，已像一旁转过了头颅：“林道友，愿意与我再联手一次么？”
"Thank you for your assistance. If I had to do this alone, it would have been much harder," "Brother Tinglou is too polite. You are about to ascend; considering me so much, I should respect you more," Lin Xuan bowed with a smile on his face.
“ lè yì zhī zhì 。”， lín xuān liǎn shàng lù chū guǐ yì de xiào róng ：“ hǎo dǎi wǒ yě shì rén lèi xiū xiān zhě ， wèi le běn zú de lì yì ， zì rán yuàn yì chū yī fèn lì ， jiě jiě ， wǒ men yì qǐ *……”
“乐意之至。”，林轩脸上露出诡异的笑容：“好歹我也是人类修仙者，为了本族的利益，自然愿意出一份力，姐姐，我们一起*……”
Maintaining good relations was wise; after ascending to the divine realm, they might still meet. For now, it was better to be friendly.
“ hǎo ！”
“好！”
"Indeed, the Ten Thousand Serpent King has been eliminated. What do you think we should do with his body?"
, Why not? In a moment, I will extract your soul and refine your essence...
Lin Xuan spoke with a casual tone, but his arrogant and domineering manner made even Meng Ruyan turn to look at him.
Covering her mouth with her hand, she almost thought she had heard wrong. Her younger brother was always very low-key, so why would he suddenly change his character? If not for the fluctuations in Lin Xuan's essence energy, she would have almost believed that this person before her was a pretender.
His actions were too rash and shallow.
Provoking an old monster like him could lead to severe consequences. Meng Ruyan's face was filled with concern.
"Very well, no one has dared to speak to me in such a manner for several hundred years. Soon, I will make you regret coming into this world," the Ten Thousand Serpent King's eyes flashed with blood-red light but did not immediately attack; instead, he laughed bitterly.
He knew that he was no match for Wang Tinglou or the ancient demon sage, but dealing with his younger brother and sister together would be more than enough.
As soon as these words left his mouth, Wang Tinglou's expression changed. He smiled and said, "Haha, who said I intended to meddle in your affairs..."
Wang Tinglou's words had just finished when the Ten Thousand Serpent King was overjoyed. With his status, he would not lie.
Meng Ruyan's face turned pale as she quickly appeared beside Lin Xuan.
"You don't want to get involved, so why did you come here? I will stand by my brother and die with him," Meng Ruyan said. After all, Lin Xuan was dragged into this situation due to her. With such a nature, she would not abandon him even if he were a cultivator. Sometimes, they could be quite chivalrous.
The Ten Thousand Serpent King frowned, but Wang Tinglou seemed indifferent. He crossed his arms behind his back and said with a carefree expression, "Ruyan, why the rush? With that old serpent's strength, even after another hundred years of cultivation, he can't harm Lin Xuan."
"What?" Meng Ruyan was shocked, her eyes filled with disbelief. The Ten Thousand Serpent King laughed loudly: "Brother Tinglou, are you joking? I am the top expert in the demon race; how could a mere cultivator who just entered the Separation Realm defeat me?"
"Believe it or not, a cultivator's strength is not solely determined by their realm. Even if you don't believe me, if we fight alone, the odds are fifty-fifty," Wang Tinglou said seriously.
The Ten Thousand Serpent King's laughter stopped as he turned his head to look at Wang Tinglou, trying to judge how much of what he said was true.
Meng Ruyan's face showed surprise. She knew more about Wang Tinglou than the Ten Thousand Serpent King; he wasn't a person who liked to lie.
But the idea that Lin Xuan could match the top expert in the demon race seemed too absurd.
"Hmph, I don't need to deceive you. Do you know who killed the ancient demon?"
"Is it that Lin boy? Impossible. Although the ancient demon is only at the early Separation Realm stage, he is a fragment of a great existence from the upper realm, and his abilities are countless. His strength can't be inferior to us," the Ten Thousand Serpent King exclaimed, still showing disbelief but with someshake.
"Believe it or not, Lin Xuan's abilities can match mine. He has three divine treasures on him now. If you can eliminate them, those items will all belong to you," Wang Tinglou said mysteriously.
"What?" The Ten Thousand Serpent King's face showed greed before quickly fading away as he turned his head back to Lin Xuan. His mood was completely different from just now; he had thought the other party was a weak opponent but found out that this cultivator was stronger than him.
On the other side, Meng Ruyan's expression was similar.
Although she knew Lin Xuan's strength far exceeded that of his peers, such a level of strength still seemed unbelievable.
Wang Tinglou spoke with conviction, and there was no need for him to lie.
Both were surprised, but unlike the Ten Thousand Serpent King's disappointment, Meng Ruyan's heart was filled with excitement.
Her eyes sparkled; if Lin Xuan had such power, their chances of ascending to the divine realm would increase significantly.
"Two friends, what do you mean by this? Are you dissatisfied with how the treasures are distributed and now planning to team up with the Ten Thousand Serpent King against me?" Lin Xuan's calm words echoed. His statement indirectly confirmed Wang Tinglou's earlier claims.
"I misunderstand; I would never go back on my word, I just happened to be here and am preparing to take advantage of this opportunity," Wang Tinglou said coldly.
"Taking advantage? You also want to find trouble with the Ten Thousand Serpent King. Now is perfect; we can team up to eliminate this monster together," Wang Tinglou said confidently.
"What are you saying, you just said you wouldn't get involved in others' affairs," the Ten Thousand Serpent King's face turned red.
"Indeed, I did say that, but my intention was to kill you. Now, it is merely a coincidence," Wang Tinglou said coldly.
"Why? Although we have some grudges, our enmity isn't so deep that it would lead us to die together. Why..." the Ten Thousand Serpent King said in anger and shock.
"Your words are correct, but I want to kill you not for personal reasons but for the benefit of humanity," Wang Tinglou said with a righteous expression.
"For the sake of all humans..."
"Yes, before my ascension, even if you had ambitions, it wouldn't cause much trouble. But now that I am about to ascend, if I leave you here..." Wang Tinglou's words trailed off, but his meaning was clear.
"The Netherworld Gate has only three days left. Originally, I planned to eliminate you; meeting you here is just too perfect," Wang Tinglou said as he turned his head towards Lin Xuan: "Lin Xuan, would you like to team up with me again?"
"Of course." Lin Xuan's face showed a strange smile. "I am an human cultivator after all, and for the sake of my race, I will do what I can. Sister, let's go together..."
"Agreed!" Meng Ruyan smiled. Her Shadowfall Sword returned to her hand as they formed a 'pin' shape, standing in a tripod formation. The Ten Thousand Serpent King had no chance of escaping.
The hunter became the prey. At this moment, the old serpent's expression was filled with excitement and fear.
In the Soul Perception Space,
The collapse of the underground palace did not affect him; it was an independent interface.
"How about it? Do you want to sign a coexistence contract with me?" The shadow slowly spoke.
Tian Xiaojian remained in deep thought. He had already considered all possible scenarios countless times. The other party was just a fragment of a spirit, and there was no way he would possess him.
They say that hunger kills the timid and satiety the bold; to seize an opportunity, one must be willing to take risks.
"I agree," the shadow was delighted: "Since you agree, I will teach you a spell. With our cooperation, we can form a coexistence contract..."
Boom!
A massive dragon, several dozen meters long, fell from the sky and created a deep pit on the ground.
Facing Lin Xuan, Wang Tinglou, and Meng Ruyan together, the Ten Thousand Serpent King had no chance; his hatred was the only result. Even his soul and essence were destroyed by Lin Xuan's Illusory Heavenly Fire.
The process was not dangerous; both Lin Xuan and Wang Tinglou's strength did not fall short of the Ten Thousand Serpent King's, and there were three against one.
"Thank you for your assistance. If I had to do this alone, it would have been much harder," "Brother Tinglou is too polite. You are about to ascend; considering me so much, I should respect you more," Lin Xuan bowed with a smile on his face.
Maintaining good relations was wise; after ascending to the divine realm, they might still meet. For now, it was better to be friendly.
