jiàn xià miàn yī jiù háo wú fǎn yìng ， tài bái jiàn xiān de liǎn shàng shǎn guò yī lǚ yīn mái ， shēng yīn lěng le qǐ lái ：“ gè wèi mó dào de péng yǒu ， nán dào zhēn yào zhāng mǒu chū shǒu ？”
见下面依旧毫无反应，太白剑仙的脸上闪过一缕阴霾，声音冷了起来：“各位魔道的朋友，难道真要张某出手？”
Below, there was still no reaction. The expression on Tai Bai Sword Immortal's face darkened as his voice turned cold: "Friends from the Evil Path, do you really expect me to have to step in?"
“ hā hā ， tài bái jiàn xiān ， míng bù xū chuán ， zhǐ bù guò jiǎ rén jiǎ yì ， yě ràng wǒ děng yǎn jiè dà kāi 。”
“哈哈，太白剑仙，名不虚传，只不过假仁假义，也让我等眼界大开。”
"Haha! Tai Bai Sword Immortal, your reputation is well-deserved. But your pretense of righteousness and benevolence has broadened our horizons."
yī zhèn jīn tiě jiāo míng de nán tīng guài xiào xiǎng qǐ ， guǐ yǐng chóng chóng ， hēi wù fú xiàn ， yī qún dǎ bàn guài yì de xiū shì cóng dì miàn fēi dào le bàn kōng zhī zhōng ， yǔ zhèng dào sān jù tóu de dì zǐ yáo yáo duì zhì 。
一阵金铁交鸣的难听怪笑响起，鬼影重重，黑雾浮现，一群打扮怪异的修士从地面飞到了半空之中，与正道三巨头的弟子遥遥对峙。
A series of unpleasant cackles filled the air as shadows of ghosts appeared, black mists rising from the ground. A group of bizarrely dressed cultivators flew up into the air, facing off against the disciples of the Three Great Sects of the Righteous Path.
“ chì mù lǎo guài ！”
“赤目老怪！”
"Old Monster with Red Eyes!"
tài bái jiàn xiān liǎn sè yī hán ， cǐ rén shì lì guǐ bāng yǒu shù de gāo shǒu zhī yī ， tóng yàng jìn rù le níng dān hòu qī 。
太白剑仙脸色一寒，此人是厉鬼帮有数的高手之一，同样进入了凝丹后期。
Tai Bai Sword Immortal's expression turned cold. This was one of the few top-notch experts in the Ghost Clan, who had also entered the late Core Condensation stage.
chú cǐ yǐ wài ， bǎi dú tóng zi ， xuè yāo zǔ shī ， mó dào de níng dān qī gāo shǒu tóng yàng shì dà jǔ chū dòng ， cū lüè yī shù ， jū rán yě yǒu wǔ liù rén zhī duō 。
除此以外，百毒童子，血妖祖师，魔道的凝丹期高手同样是大举出动，粗略一数，居然也有五六人之多。
In addition, the Toxic Child and the Blood Demon Ancestor were also leading a large number of Core Condensation cultivators from the Evil Path into battle. A rough count revealed that there were more than five or six of them.
bù zhǐ shì tài bái jiàn xiān ， sān jù tóu de dì zǐ biǎo qíng dōu bù tài hǎo kàn ， yuán běn zài yōu zhōu ， zhèng dào shì yī jiā dú dà ， zhèng dào zhī zhōng ， yòu yǐ tā men sān pài jū shǒu ， zì rán shì yào fēng dé fēng ， yào yǔ dé yǔ ， xiāo yáo wú bǐ 。
不止是太白剑仙，三巨头的弟子表情都不太好看，原本在幽州，正道是一家独大，正道之中，又以他们三派居首，自然是要风得风，要雨得雨，逍遥无比。
Not only Tai Bai Sword Immortal, but the disciples of the Three Great Sects did not look too pleased either. In Youzhou, the Righteous Path had been dominant for a thousand years, and within their own ranks, they held the top three sects in high regard. They naturally got what they wanted with ease, living carefree lives.
qiān nián yǐ lái ， mó dào xiū shì yì zhí bèi yā zhì 。
千年以来，魔道修士一直被压制。
For a thousand years, Evil Path cultivators were always suppressed. The so-called Heavenly Demon City was not taken seriously by them. However, as the saying goes, "When things reach their peak, they begin to decline." While the Righteous Path was complacent in its praise and glory, the Evil Path was working hard, producing many prodigies.
suǒ wèi de tiān mó chéng yě bù bèi tā men fàng zài yǎn lǐ ， rán ér sú huà shuō dé hǎo ， shèng jí ér shuāi ， zhèng dào zài yī piàn gē gōng sòng dé zhī shēng zhōng bù sī jìn qǔ ， fǎn guān mó dào ， què wò xīn cháng dǎn ， yǒng xiàn chū bù shǎo tiān cái 。
所谓的天魔城也不被他们放在眼里，然而俗话说得好，盛极而衰，正道在一片歌功颂德之声中不思进取，反观魔道，却卧薪尝胆，涌现出不少天才。
For example, the Great Demon Sovereign was a success story. Cultivating a demon infant was far more difficult for a cultivator than it was for a magic practitioner, but he succeeded and transformed the mediocre Extreme Demon Cave into one of the top three sects.
bǐ rú shuō jí è mó zūn ， xiū mó zhě jié yīng yuǎn bǐ xiū zhēn zhě gèng jiā jiān nán ， kě tā què chéng gōng le ， bìng qiě jiāng jí mó dòng zhè ge èr liú de mén pài zhěng dùn chéng jǐn cì yú sān jù tóu de cún zài 。
比如说极恶魔尊，修魔者结婴远比修真者更加艰难，可他却成功了，并且将极魔洞这个二流的门派整顿成仅次于三巨头的存在。
The other two major forces in the Evil Path, the Ghost Clan and the Yin Qi Sect, also produced many powerful experts. Although they lacked old monsters at the Core Formation stage, there were plenty of Core Condensation cultivators whose strength was not to be underestimated.
mó dào de lìng wài liǎng dà shì lì ， lì guǐ bāng yǔ yīn shā jiào tóng yàng gāo shǒu bèi chū ， suī rán méi yǒu yuán yīng qī de lǎo guài wù ， dàn níng dān qī de gāo shǒu zé zhe shí bù shǎo ó ， shí lì bù róng qīng rǔ 。
魔道的另外两大势力，厉鬼帮与阴煞教同样高手辈出，虽然没有元婴期的老怪物，但凝丹期的高手则着实不少哦，实力不容轻辱。
Of course, a thousand years of积累 by the Righteous Path was no small feat, but the Evil Path had risen quickly. Now, with the Extreme Demon Cave leading the three major Evil Path sects, they were forming a formidable opposition against the Three Great Sects of the Righteous Path.
dāng rán ， zhèng dào qiān nián de jī lěi fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， dàn mó dào shàng shēng hěn kuài ， rú jīn yǐ jí mó dòng wéi shǒu mó dào sān pài yǐ yǐn yǐn yǔ zhèng dào sān jù tóu chéng kàng héng zhī shì le 。
当然，正道千年的积累非同小可，但魔道上升很快，如今以极魔洞为首魔道三派已隐隐与正道三巨头成抗衡之势了。
Both sides naturally did not like each other's looks.
shuāng fāng kàn duì fāng zì rán shì jí bù shùn yǎn 。
双方看对方自然是极不顺眼。
Fortunately, in times of great importance, everyone could restrain themselves. Each Core Condensation cultivator had deep scheming abilities. While there would inevitably be some verbal sparring, none of them were willing to back down.
hǎo zài dà shì dāng qián 。 yí gè gè dōu néng kè zhì dé zhù ， níng dān qī gāo shǒu ， nǎ yí gè méi yǒu hěn shēn de chéng fǔ 。 zhǐ bù guò kǒu tóu shàng de yī fān chún qiāng shé jiàn shì miǎn bù liǎo le 。
好在大事当前。一个个都能克制得住，凝丹期高手，哪一个没有很深的城府。只不过口头上的一番唇枪舌剑是免不了了。
The old monster with red eyes rolled his eyes and let out a harsh laugh: "I didn't expect Tai Bai Sword Immortal to have heard of my name before. Your so-called benevolent words just now were quite impressive."
nà chì mù lǎo guài guài yǎn yī fān ， nán tīng wú bǐ de xiào le qǐ lái ：“ xiǎng bú dào tài bái jiàn xiān yě tīng shuō guò yú mǒu de míng zì ， nǐ gāng cái nà fān jiǎ rén jiǎ yì dì yán yǔ hái zhēn shì jīng cǎi 。”
那赤目老怪怪眼一翻，难听无比的笑了起来：“想不到太白剑仙也听说过余某的名字，你刚才那番假仁假义地言语还真是精彩。”
Ouyang Qinxin frowned slightly but said nothing, clearly choosing to observe from the sidelines. However, Wind雷上人 of Xianxian Gorge could not resist retorting: "Old monster, don't spout lies. Where was Tai Bai Senior Brother's pretense of righteousness?"
ōu yáng qín xīn xiù méi wēi zhòu 。 què yì diǎn kāi kǒu de yì si yě méi yǒu ， bǎi míng liǎo lěng yǎn páng guān ， dǎo shì yī xiàn xiá de fēng léi shàng rén rěn bú zhù fǎn bó qǐ lái ：“ lǎo guài wù mò yào xuè kǒu pēn rén ， tài bái shī xiōng nǎ lǐ jiǎ rén jiǎ yì le ？”
欧阳琴心秀眉微皱。却一点开口的意思也没有，摆明了冷眼旁观，倒是一线峡的风雷上人忍不住反驳起来：“老怪物莫要血口喷人，太白师兄哪里假仁假义了？”
"Hmph," a voice came from nearby. It belonged to a child only three feet tall. The Toxic Child looked cute and delicate, but no one dared approach him due to his reputation for using toxic techniques that were notoriously unpredictable. If you didn't want to die, you had to keep your distance.
“ hēng 。 nèn dì shēng yīn chuán lái 。 què shì jǐn yǒu sān chǐ gāo de xiǎo ér ， nà tóng zi zhǎng dé jiāo qiǎo kě ài ， kě páng biān de rén què wú bù lí tā lǎo yuǎn ， yīn shā jiào dì bǎi dú tóng zi ， tīng wài hào jiù zhī dào yǐ dú gōng guǐ yì wén míng yú shì 。 bù xiǎng sǐ zì rán yào jìng ér yuǎn zhī 。
“哼。嫩地声音传来。却是仅有三尺高的小儿，那童子长得娇巧可爱，可旁边的人却无不离他老远，阴煞教地百毒童子，听外号就知道以毒功诡异闻名于世。不想死自然要敬而远之。
"You guys in the Righteous Path talk about righteousness and morality all day long, but what's going on inside? Don't pretend we don't know. You hid here with us earlier, then deliberately left and came back by taking a roundabout route. Your so-called benevolent words of advice—aren't there some ulterior motives?"
“ nǐ men zhè xiē zhèng dào de jiā huo 。 mǎn zuǐ rén yì dào dé ， dǔ zi lǐ què nán dào nǚ chāng ， bié yǐ wéi wǒ men bù zhī dào ， nǐ men gāng cái yǔ wǒ men tóng yàng yǐn cáng yú cǐ ， què gù yì lí kāi ， rào le yí gè dà wān yòu huí lái ， jiǎ rén jiǎ yì de xiāng quàn ， bú shì yǒu yīn móu zài lǐ miàn ？”
“你们这些正道的家伙。满嘴仁义道德，肚子里却男盗女娼，别以为我们不知道，你们刚才与我们同样隐藏于此，却故意离开，绕了一个大弯又回来，假仁假义的相劝，不是有阴谋在里面？”
"What ulterior motives?" Tai Bai Sword Immortal's expression changed.
“ shén me yīn móu ？” tài bái jiàn xiān liǎn sè yī biàn 。
“什么阴谋？”太白剑仙脸色一变。
"Hmph, why do you need us to expose it?" the Toxic Child cackled in a阴阳怪气 manner: "It's simple. Whether those cultivators fought or not, and whether they lived or died, your three sects wouldn't care much about them. Perhaps their deaths would even make you secretly happy. The so-called advice to stop fighting was just an excuse to find some laborers."
“ hēng ， hé bì fēi yào wǒ men jiē chuān ne ？” bǎi dú tóng zi yīn yáng guài qì de xiào le qǐ lái ：“ hěn jiǎn dān 。 gāng cái nà xiē xiū shì huǒ bìng yǔ fǒu 。 shì sǐ shì huó ， nǐ men sān pài yòu qǐ huì zhēn dì fàng zài yǎn zhōng 。 shuō bù dìng quán sǐ guāng le nǐ men fǎn ér àn àn gāo xìng ， zhǐ bù guò quàn qí bà shǒu bù guò shì xiǎng yào xún zhǎo yī xiē kǔ lì bà le 。”
“哼，何必非要我们揭穿呢？”百毒童子阴阳怪气的笑了起来：“很简单。刚才那些修士火并与否。是死是活，你们三派又岂会真地放在眼中。说不定全死光了你们反而暗暗高兴，只不过劝其罢手不过是想要寻找一些苦力罢了。”
"Laborers? What do you mean by that?"
“ kǔ lì ， cǐ huà cóng hé shuō qǐ ？”
“苦力，此话从何说起？”
"Just give it a rest," the old monster with red eyes took over: "The incident involving Demon Tyrant of Heaven happened too suddenly, and both your Three Great Sects of the Righteous Path and our three major Evil Path sects were caught off guard. The number of people we could send here was limited, and the Qiui Yin Mountains are quite vast. Even if we confirmed that the Demon Tyrant of Heaven's soul had fled this area, thoroughly searching it would be difficult. As Tai Bai Senior Brother said earlier, if he escaped into unexplored regions, things would become very troublesome."
“ dé le ， dōu zhè shí hòu zhuāng suàn hái yǒu hé yì yì ？” chì mù lǎo guài jiē guò kǒu lái ：“ nà tiān shā mó jūn zhī shì fā shēng dé tài tū rán ， bù lùn shì nǐ men zhèng dào sān jù tóu hái shì wǒ men mó dào sān pài ， dōu yǒu xiē cuò shǒu bù jí ， néng gòu jí shí diào wǎng zhè lǐ de rén shǒu yǒu xiàn ， ér kuí yīn shān mài zhe shí tài dà le diǎn ， jiù suàn què dìng le tiān shā mó jūn de yuán shén táo wǎng le zhè yī dài ， kě xiǎng yào zhěng gè sōu suǒ yě miǎn wéi qí nán ， jiù xiàng tài bái jiàn xiān gāng cái suǒ yán ， rú guǒ tā yī hěn xīn táo rù wèi bèi tàn suǒ de qū yù ， shì qíng jiù huì biàn dé fēi cháng má fán 。”
“得了，都这时候装蒜还有何意义？”赤目老怪接过口来：“那天煞魔君之事发生得太突然，不论是你们正道三巨头还是我们魔道三派，都有些措手不及，能够及时调往这里的人手有限，而奎阴山脉着实太大了点，就算确定了天煞魔君的元神逃往了这一带，可想要整个搜索也勉为其难，就像太白剑仙刚才所言，如果他一狠心逃入未被探索的区域，事情就会变得非常麻烦。”
"So you thought of using other cultivators as laborers. On the surface, you advised them not to fight each other, but in reality, you wanted these cultivators to help find the Demon Tyrant's whereabouts."
“ suǒ yǐ nǐ xiǎng dào le lì yòng qí tā xiū shì zuò kǔ lì de fāng fǎ ， biǎo miàn shàng ， quàn tā men bú yào zì xiāng cán shā ， qí shí shì ràng zhè xiē xiū shì bāng zhù xún zhǎo mó jūn dì xià luò ér yǐ 。”
“所以你想到了利用其他修士做苦力的方法，表面上，劝他们不要自相残杀，其实是让这些修士帮助寻找魔君地下落而已。”
"Indeed, Senior Brother Tai Bai, your plan is quite clever. Cut off the bridge after crossing it. Even if a cultivator found the Demon Tyrant of Heaven's location, they would only bring disaster upon themselves. With their strength, do you think they could take away the Heavenly Dust Pill? Probably not; your three sects might even kill and rob them."
“ shì a ， tài bái xiōng cǐ jì què shí bù cuò ， guò hé chāi qiáo ， jiù suàn nǎ ge xiū shì zhǎo dào le tiān shā mó jūn dì xià luò ， yě bù guò shì wèi zì jǐ zhāo lái shā shēn zhī huò ， yǐ tā men de shí lì ， nán dào hái xiǎng dài zǒu tiān chén dān me ， kǒng pà nǐ men sān jù tóu huì shā rén yuè huò 。”
“是啊，太白兄此计确实不错，过河拆桥，就算哪个修士找到了天煞魔君地下落，也不过是为自己招来杀身之祸，以他们的实力，难道还想带走天尘丹么，恐怕你们三巨头会杀人越货。”
Listening to the Evil Path's old monsters coldly mocking one another, Tai Bai Sword Immortal's face turned from white to red and back again. However, he quickly calmed down and sneered: "Even if I had such plans, what of it? Don't you three major sects of the Evil Path have similar intentions?"
tīng zháo mó dào jǐ gè lǎo guài nǐ yī yán wǒ yī yǔ de lěng cháo rè fěng ， tài bái jiàn xiān de liǎn sè hū qīng hū bái ， bù guò hěn kuài ， què yòu píng jìng xià lái ， lěng xiào dào ：“ jiù suàn zhāng mǒu rén shì zhè yàng dǎ suàn de yòu rú hé ， nǐ men mó dào sān pài bù yě yī yàng me ？”
听着魔道几个老怪你一言我一语的冷嘲热讽，太白剑仙的脸色忽青忽白，不过很快，却又平静下来，冷笑道：“就算张某人是这样打算的又如何，你们魔道三派不也一样么？”
"Senior Brother Tai Bai speaks the truth," said a woman with a stern expression, around forty years old. She was one half of the double-cultivation couple from Thunder Cloud Manor. "Oh, Mrs. Cheng has spoken. Is your husband in agreement as well?"
“ tài bái shī xiōng suǒ yán zhèng shì ， xiū zhēn jiè jiǎng jiū de shì ruò ròu qiáng shí ， bǎo wù yǒu lì zhě jū zhī ， yǒu běn shì ， nǐ men jiāng tiān chén dān qiǎng qù 。”
“太白师兄所言正是，修真界讲究的是弱肉强食，宝物有力者居之，有本事，你们将天尘丹抢去。”
"Hmph, of course. My wife's intentions naturally represent mine." The speaker did not look impressive, but her cultivation had reached the middle stage of Core Condensation.
zhè cì shuō huà de shì yí miàn mù lěng jùn de nǚ zǐ ， dà yuē sì shí suì zuǒ yòu nián jì ， léi yún shān zhuāng nà duì shuāng xiū dào lǚ zhōng de nǚ zǐ 。
这次说话的是一面目冷峻的女子，大约四十岁左右年纪，雷云山庄那对双修道侣中的女子。
The Evil Path's old monsters exchanged glances. They originally intended to mock these cultivators, but now that they were infuriated, they had also stripped off their pretenses. This left the Toxic Child and others speechless as he grunted: "If so, then let each of us rely on our own abilities. Farewell!"
“ ó ， chéng fū rén shuō huà le ， shì fǒu zūn fū yě shì zhè ge yì si ？”
“哦，程夫人说话了，是否尊夫也是这个意思？”
With a flash of light, he flew towards the heavens.
“ hēng ， dāng rán ， wǒ fū rén zhī yì dāng rán yě néng dài biǎo chéng mǒu 。” shuō huà zhī rén mào bù jīng rén ， kě xiū wèi què dào le níng dān zhōng qī 。
“哼，当然，我夫人之意当然也能代表程某。”说话之人貌不惊人，可修为却到了凝丹中期。
"Heh, if given the chance, I'd like to learn from your couple's supreme techniques."
mó dào dì jǐ gè lǎo guài wù miàn miàn xiāng qù ， yuán běn xiǎng cháo fěng yī xià zhè xiē xiū zhēn zhě ， méi xiǎng dào tā men nǎo xiū chéng nù zhī xià jū rán yě sī diào le xū wěi dì miàn jù ， zhè dào ràng bǎi dù tóng zi děng rén gǎn dào wú huà kě yán ， hēng le yī shēng dào ：“ jì rú cǐ ， nà dà jiā jiù gè píng jiè běn shì ， gào cí ！”
魔道地几个老怪物面面相觑，原本想嘲讽一下这些修真者，没想到他们恼羞成怒之下居然也撕掉了虚伪地面具，这倒让百度童子等人感到无话可言，哼了一声道：“既如此，那大家就各凭借本事，告辞！”
The old monster with red eyes smiled at Tai Bai Sword Immortal and his wife with an impure intention before vanishing in a swirl of black mist.
shuō wán huà wèi yī dào dùn guāng fēi xiàng le tiān jì 。
说完化为一道遁光飞向了天际。
The Blood Demon Ancestor did not say anything harsh. However, his icy gaze made everyone on the Righteous Path shiver. As the only Core Formation stage monster in the Evil Path, he was the most unpredictable in terms of strength.
“ hēi hēi ， yǒu jī huì ， lǎo fū yě xiàng lǐng jiào yī xià xián kàng lì de jué jì 。”
“嘿嘿，有机会，老夫也像领教一下贤伉俪的绝技。”
Of course, besides them, two more Core Condensation cultivators from the Evil Path also vanished silently.
Below, there was still no reaction. The expression on Tai Bai Sword Immortal's face darkened as his voice turned cold: "Friends from the Evil Path, do you really expect me to have to step in?"
"Haha! Tai Bai Sword Immortal, your reputation is well-deserved. But your pretense of righteousness and benevolence has broadened our horizons."
A series of unpleasant cackles filled the air as shadows of ghosts appeared, black mists rising from the ground. A group of bizarrely dressed cultivators flew up into the air, facing off against the disciples of the Three Great Sects of the Righteous Path.
"Old Monster with Red Eyes!"
Tai Bai Sword Immortal's expression turned cold. This was one of the few top-notch experts in the Ghost Clan, who had also entered the late Core Condensation stage.
In addition, the Toxic Child and the Blood Demon Ancestor were also leading a large number of Core Condensation cultivators from the Evil Path into battle. A rough count revealed that there were more than five or six of them.
