bèi zǔ dǎng yǐ jiǔ de yín xiè dài làng cháo ， dùn shí rú jué dī zhī shuǐ yì bān ， xiōng yǒng ér lái 。
被阻挡已久的银懈怠浪潮，顿时如决堤之水一般，汹涌而来。
The silver fishbirds, which had been suppressed for so long, suddenly surged like a flood breaking its dam.
yāo qì chōng tiān ！
妖气冲天！
妖气冲天！
yín yú niǎo zài cǐ zhī qián ， yǐ bèi yā yì le tài jiǔ tài jiǔ ， cǐ shí ， měi yī zhī yāo qín de shuāng mù ， dōu biàn chéng le xuè hóng zhī sè 。
银鱼鸟在此之前，已被压抑了太久太久，此时，每一只妖禽的双目，都变成了血红之色。
Silver Fishbirds had been repressed for far too long before this moment; now, the eyes of every bird turned blood-red.
“ shì xuè shù ！”
“嗜血术！”
"Sanguineous Technique!"
zhòng xiū shì de jīng hū cǐ qǐ bǐ fú ， liǎn shàng jiē lù chū wèi jù yǐ jí zhī sè 。
众修士的惊呼此起彼伏，脸上皆露出畏惧以极之色。
The cries of the cultivators rose and fell in unison, their faces filled with extreme fear.
pǔ tōng de yín yú niǎo ， suī rán zhǐ shì èr jiē yāo shòu ， dàn què yōng yǒu shì xuè kuáng huà de tiān fù shén tōng 。
普通的银鱼鸟，虽然只是二阶妖兽，但却拥有嗜血狂化的天赋神通。
Though ordinary silver fishbirds were only second-stage beasts, they possessed a天赋 of berserking. Once triggered, not only would their cultivation surge by half a level or more, but their vitality would become incredibly resilient. Even if decapitated or pierced through, they could still struggle for some time before finally dying.
yí dàn kāi qǐ ， xiū wèi bù jǐn huì bào zēng xiǎo bàn yǒu yú ， ér qiě shēng mìng lì yě jiāng biàn dé wán qiáng wú bǐ ， jí biàn bèi zhǎn xià tou lú ， huò zhě dòng chuān shēn tǐ ， dōu hái néng yī shí wèi sǐ ， hěn hěn de pū yǎo shàng qù 。
一旦开启，修为不仅会暴增小半有余，而且生命力也将变得顽强无比，即便被斩下头颅，或者洞穿身体，都还能一时未死，狠狠的扑咬上去。
The only word that came to mind was 'fear.'
ěr pà shì wéi yī de xíng róng cí 。
耳怕是唯一的形容词。
However, in normal circumstances, silver fishbirds couldn't berserk at will; they needed to meet certain conditions to activate the sanguineous technique.
rán ér yì bān qíng kuàng xià ， yín yú niǎo bìng bù néng suí xīn suǒ yù de shī zhǎn kuáng huà ， xiǎng yào jiāng shì xuè shù kāi qǐ ， bì xū mǎn zú yí dìng tiáo jiàn cái xíng 。
然而一般情况下，银鱼鸟并不能随心所欲的施展狂化，想要将嗜血术开启，必须满足一定条件才行。
Lin Xuan didn’t know what those conditions were. If these cultivators had used the sanguineous technique earlier, the light screen protecting White Tiger City would have been broken much sooner, and fewer beasts would have fallen. But it wasn't too late now!
fēi cháng kē kè ， jù tǐ shì shén me lín xuān yě bù xiǎo de 。
非常苛刻，具体是什么林轩也不晓得。
With the禁制 broken, the cultivators were already uneasy. Seeing the silver fishbirds collectively using their berserking technique only made them more nervous…
rú guǒ xī men néng gòu zǎo diǎn shī zhǎn shì xuè zhī shù ， bái hǔ chéng de guāng mù zǎo jiù pò le ， yāo qín yě gēn běn bú huì zhé sǔn rú cǐ zhī duō ， bù guò rú jīn ， yě bù suàn wǎn ！
如果牺们能够早点施展嗜血之术，白虎城的光幕早就破了，妖禽也根本不会折损如此之多，不过如今，也不算晚！
"Ah! My God!"
jìn zhì bèi pò ， zhòng xiū shì běn jiù xīn zhōng tǎn tè ， zài kàn jiàn yín yú niǎo jí tǐ shī zhǎn chū shì xuè shù ， rén xīn yuè fā de huàn sàn le ……，…
禁制被破，众修士本就心中忐忑，再看见银鱼鸟集体施展出嗜血术，人心越发的涣散了……，…
The cries reached Lin Xuan's ears as a short, plump cultivator dressed in a merchant’s outfit turned and ran away. These outsiders had come to help because of the light screen, but now that it was gone, they naturally didn’t want to stay on the walls with evil cultivators.
“ mā ya ！”
“妈呀！”
But by running at this point, he was clearly too late and foolish—like a commoner encountering a tiger and fleeing, which is as good as suicide.
jīng hū shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， yī shēn cái ǎi pàng ， zuò zhǎng guì dǎ bàn de xiū xiān zhě diào tóu jiù zǒu ， zhè xiē wài lái xiū shì ， zhī suǒ yǐ yuàn yì dào chéng qiáng shàng bāng máng ， shì yīn wèi yǒu guāng mù bǎo hù ， zì shēn bú huì yǒu wēi xiǎn ， kě xiàn zài yǐ jīng méi yǒu le hù zhào ， xī men zì rán bù yuàn yì liú zài chéng qiáng shàng yǔ xié xiū gòng cún wáng ，…， rán ér cǐ kè cái zǒu ， míng xiǎn yǐ jīng wǎn le ， qiě yú chǔn yǐ jí ， jiù rú tóng fán rén yù jiàn lǎo hǔ ， diào tóu táo pǎo míng xiǎn yǔ zhǎo sǐ chà bu duō 。
惊呼声传入耳朵，一身材矮胖，做掌柜打扮的修仙者掉头就走，这些外来修士，之所以愿意到城墙上帮忙，是因为有光幕保护，自身不会有危险，可现在已经没有了护罩，牺们自然不愿意留在城墙上与邪修共存亡，…，然而此刻才走，明显已经晚了，且愚蠢以极，就如同凡人遇见老虎，掉头逃跑明显与找死差不多。
Before he could take two steps, several dozen silver fishbirds surrounded him. These birds had razor-sharp teeth and iron-clawed talons that were terrifying to behold. After using the berserking technique, their strength increased immensely.
cǐ rén hái méi yǒu pǎo chū liǎng bù ， jiù bèi shù shí tóu yín yú niǎo tuán tuán wéi zhù ， cǐ niǎo bù jǐn yá chǐ fēng ruì yǐ jí ” lì zhuǎ yě rú tiě gōu bān lìng rén wèi jù ， shǐ yòng shì xuè kuáng huà zhī shù hòu gèng shì lì dà wú bǐ 。
此人还没有跑出两步，就被数十头银鱼鸟团团围住，此鸟不仅牙齿锋锐以极”利爪也如铁钩般令人畏惧，使用嗜血狂化之术后更是力大无比。
The cultivator’s protective qi was quickly torn apart; blood and flesh splattered everywhere, and his screams were inhumanly loud.
ǎi pàng xiū xiān zhě de hù tǐ gāng qì xùn sù bèi chě pò ” xuè ròu héng fēi ， cǎn jiào shēng gèng qī lì dé bù xiàng rén lèi fā chū 。
矮胖修仙者的护体罡气迅速被扯破”血肉横飞，惨叫声更凄厉得不像人类发出。
In just a few breaths, he perished within the beast's belly. The other cultivators witnessed this with great fear, feeling a sense of vicarious sorrow.
duǎn duǎn jǐ xī de gōng fu ， jiù zàng shēn yāo fù ， zhòng xiū shì qīn yǎn mù dǔ ， yí gè gè dǎn hán yǐ jí ” bù yóu de dōu qǐ le tù sǐ hú bēi zhī yì 。
短短几息的功夫，就葬身妖腹，众修士亲眼目睹，一个个胆寒以极”不由得都起了兔死狐悲之意。
But there was no time for such emotions now. They had to fight back against the beasts and hope to survive through this terrifying wave.
dàn zhè shí hòu shì méi yǒu shí jiān shāng gǎn dì ， wéi yǒu shī zhǎn hún shēn xiè shù ， xiàng yāo qín gōng jī ， qī dài zhe néng zài zhè kě pà de shòu cháo zhōng huó xià qù 。
但这时候是没有时间伤感地，唯有施展浑身解数，像妖禽攻击，期待着能在这可怕的兽潮中活下去。
Lin Xuan was similarly surrounded by dozens of silver fishbirds.
lín xuān tóng yàng bèi shù shí zhǐ yín yú niǎo bāo wéi 。
林轩同样被数十只银鱼鸟包围。
However, he wasn’t a low-level cultivator; these numbers were nothing to him.
rán ér tā kě bú shì dī jiē xiū xiān zhě ， zhè diǎn shù liàng ， gēn běn jiù bù gòu kàn de 。
然而他可不是低阶修仙者，这点数量，根本就不够看的。
With a flick of his sleeve, a streak of green light shot out and ensnared all the approaching birds. The sounds of explosion filled his ears as several dozen silver fishbirds died without even struggling.
xiù páo yī fú ， yī dào qīng xiá fēi lüè ér chū ， pū guò lái de yāo qín quán bèi juǎn zhù ” pēng pēng pēng de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， jǐ shí zhǐ yín yú niǎo lián zhēng zhá dōu zuò bú dào ， quán bù bào tǐ ér wáng 。
袖袍一拂，一道青霞飞掠而出，扑过来的妖禽全被卷住”嘭嘭嘭的声音传入耳朵，几十只银鱼鸟连挣扎都做不到，全部爆体而亡。
Lin Xuan’s face showed satisfaction as he reached out and summoned his Black Dragon Armor Shield.
lín xuān liǎn shàng lù chū mǎn yì zhī sè ， shēn shǒu yī pāi ， jiāng wū jīn lóng jiǎ dùn jì le chū lái 。
林轩脸上露出满意之色，伸手一拍，将乌金龙甲盾祭了出来。
A flash of silver turned into a light screen that enveloped him.
yín guāng yī shǎn ， jiù huà wèi yī piàn guāng mù jiāng tā bāo guǒ zài qí jiān 。
银光一闪，就化为一片光幕将他包裹在其间。
Then, Lin Xuan dived headfirst into the silver torrent.
suí hòu lín xuān yī tóu zhā rù nà yín sè de hóng liú lǐ miàn 。
随后林轩一头扎入那银色的洪流里面。
The process seemed complex but was not particularly noticeable; many other cultivators of profound cultivation were doing the same, hoping to carve out a path through the beast tide…
zhěng gè guò chéng shuō qǐ lái fán fù ， dàn què bìng bù yǐn rén zhù mù ， bù shǎo xiū wèi shēn hòu de yuán yīng xiū shì yě shì rú cǐ ” xī wàng néng gòu shā chū yī tiáo xuè lù ……
整个过程说起来繁复，但却并不引人注目，不少修为深厚的元婴修士也是如此”希望能够杀出一条血路……
Looking around, everything was silvery with countless red dots amidst it—those were the eyes of the birds. Silver fishbirds swarmed from all directions like bees.
fàng yǎn wàng qù ， yín sè de yī piàn ， qí jiān yòu jiā zá zhe mì mì má má de hóng diǎn ， nà shì yāo qín de shuāng mù ， yín yú niǎo cóng sì miàn bā fāng ， fēng yōng ér lái 。
放眼望去，银色的一片，其间又夹杂着密密麻麻的红点，那是妖禽的双目，银鱼鸟从四面八方，蜂拥而来。
Puff! Puff! The light screen formed by his Black Dragon Armor Shield flickered under the impact. Lin Xuan frowned as a white hurricane appeared in his vision, swirling and roaring.
pū pū pū de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， wū jīn lóng jiǎ dùn suǒ huà de guāng mù yě bèi dǎ dé yī zhèn shǎn shuò ” lín xuān méi tou yí zhòu ， sì zhōu de fēng yuán qì suí zhī yǒng dòng ， yī dào bái méng méng de jù fēng chū xiàn zài le shì xiàn zhōng 。
噗噗噗的声音传入耳朵，乌金龙甲盾所化的光幕也被打得一阵闪烁”林轩眉头一皱，四周的风元气随之涌动，一道白蒙蒙的飓风出现在了视线中。
It was so powerful that it seemed to touch both heaven and earth.
lián tiān jiē dì ， shēng shì kàn shàng qù jīng rén wú bǐ 。
连天接地，声势看上去惊人无比。
More terrifyingly, this hurricane was made up of countless palm-sized wind blades spinning rapidly like a meat grinder.
gèng kě pà de shì ， zhè dào jù fēng ， nǎi shì yóu wú shù bā zhǎng dà xiǎo de fēng rèn zǔ chéng ， fēi sù xuán zhuǎn ， jiù yǒu rú jiǎo ròu jī yì bān 。
更可怕的是，这道飓风，乃是由无数巴掌大小的风刃组成，飞速旋转，就有如绞肉机一般。
Blood and feathers splattered everywhere; any bird that rushed forward was cut into pieces.
niǎo xuè yǔ yǔ máo yì qǐ sǎ luò ” chōng guò lái de yāo qín quán bù bèi qiē gē dé sì fēn wǔ liè le 。
鸟血与羽毛一起洒落”冲过来的妖禽全部被切割得四分五裂了。
As long as the beast tide wasn’t targeting him, Lin Xuan’s cultivation level allowed him to pass through without much difficulty.
zhǐ yào zhè kě pà de shòu cháo zhēn duì de bú shì zì jǐ ， yǐ lín xuān de xiū wèi xiǎng yào chuǎng guò qù bìng méi yǒu shuāng mù wéi nán dì 。
只要这可怕的兽潮针对的不是自己，以林轩的修为想要闯过去并没有双目为难地。
With a flick of his body, he used Nine Heavens Micro-step, vanishing from sight before reappearing several thousand feet away.
shēn xíng yī shǎn ” lín xuān jiāng jiǔ tiān wēi bù shī zhǎn chū lái ， cóng yuán dì xiāo shī bú jiàn ， zài cì chū xiàn yǐ zài shù qiān zhàng yuǎn 。
身形一闪”林轩将九天微步施展出来，从原地消失不见，再次出现已在数千丈远。
He disappeared again and reappeared in an instant…
suí hòu yòu xiāo shī bú jiàn ， xià yī kè zài cì chū xiàn “……， jiù zhè yàng ， bù guò jǐ xī de gōng fu ， lín xuān jiù cóng shòu cháo zhōng shā chū le yī tiáo xuè lù ， suí hòu lín xuān bìng bù tíng liú ， yì kǒu qì yòu fēi le jǐ wàn lǐ yuǎn 。
随后又消失不见，下一刻再次出现“……，就这样，不过几息的功夫，林轩就从兽潮中杀出了一条血路，随后林轩并不停留，一口气又飞了几万里远。
In just a few breaths, Lin Xuan had carved out a path through the beast tide. Without stopping, he flew another few miles.
wàn shòu dǎo zǎo yǐ bú jiàn ， yī móu huāng wú rén yān de xiǎo dǎo chū xiàn zài le miàn qián 。
万兽岛早已不见，一牟荒无人烟的小岛出现在了面前。
The Beast Island was no longer visible; instead, a desolate, uninhabited island appeared before him.
dǎo shàng yǒu shù zuò jǐ bǎi zhàng de xiǎo shān ， shàng miàn de zhí bèi dào yě fēng fù ， fàng yǎn wàng qù ， yī piàn yù yù cōng cōng zhī sè 。
岛上有数座几百丈的小山，上面的植被倒也丰富，放眼望去，一片郁郁葱葱之色。
Several small hills several hundred feet high were covered with lush vegetation, and from afar, everything looked verdant.
lín xuān shén shí zài zhěng zuò xiǎo dǎo shàng sǎo guò ， suí hòu jiù dùn guāng yī huǎn ， dài zhe dōng fāng míng qí jiàng luò xià lái 。
林轩神识在整座小岛上扫过，随后就遁光一缓，带着东方明琪降落下来。
Lin Xuan’s divine sense swept over the entire island. Then, his light speed slowed as he landed Eastern Mingqi beside him.
kàn zhe cǐ nǚ ， lín xuān liǎn shàng què xiǎn chū le jǐ fēn chí yí 。
看着此女，林轩脸上却显出了几分迟疑。
Looking at her, Lin Xuan showed a hint of hesitation on his face.
jīn tiān jié lüè fāng shì ， yī gù rán shì tān tú lǐ miàn de cái huò ， dàn gèng zhòng yào de mù dì shì jià huò wàn shòu zūn zhě ， kě zhè yí mù ， dōu bèi cǐ nǚ kàn zài yǎn zhōng 。
今天劫掠坊市，一固然是贪图里面的财货，但更重要的目的是嫁祸万兽尊者，可这一幕，都被此女看在眼中。
Today, he had plundered the market for both material gain and to frame the Beast Sovereign. But this scene was witnessed by this woman.
wàn yī tā shuō chū qù ……
万一她说出去……
If she said anything…
lín xuān yáo le yáo tóu ， zì jǐ duì cǐ nǚ yǒu ēn wú chóu ， tā chú fēi nǎo dài yǒu wèn tí ， fǒu zé hé bì xiàn hài zì jǐ ？
林轩摇了摇头，自己对此女有恩无仇，她除非脑袋有问题，否则何必陷害自己？
Lin Xuan shook his head. He owed no grudge but many favors to this woman; unless she was crazy, why would she harm him?
zhè zhǒng kě néng xìng shí zài bù dà ， yǎn qián cǐ nǚ ， bù lùn zěn me kàn ， yě bù xiàng guǎ ēn báo yì zhī tú 。
这种可能性实在不大，眼前此女，不论怎么看，也不像寡恩薄义之徒。
This possibility seemed unlikely. In front of him, this woman didn’t seem like someone who would be ungrateful or treacherous.
hé kuàng tuì yī wàn bù shuō ， tā jiù suàn shuō chū qù ， méi yǒu zhèng jù ， shuí yòu huì xìn ne ？
何况退一万步说，她就算说出去，没有证据，谁又会信呢？
Moreover, even if she did say something, without evidence, who would believe her?
nǎo hǎi zhōng niàn tou zhuǎn guò ， lín xuān yě jiù jiāng xīn zhōng de yí lǜ fàng xià le 。
脑海中念头转过，林轩也就将心中的疑虑放下了。
With his mind made up, Lin Xuan put aside any doubts.
bì jìng bú dào wàn bù dé yǐ ， tā yě bù xiǎng xíng nà shā rén miè kǒu zhī jǔ 。
毕竟不到万不得已，他也不想行那杀人灭口之举。
After all, he didn't want to take such drastic measures unless absolutely necessary.
hé kuàng cǐ nǚ céng shuō ， tā nǎi hǎi zú jù jīng wáng de xiǎo jùn zhǔ ， suī rán shì zhēn shì jiǎ ， lín xuān hái cún yǒu huái yí ， dàn yě bù xiǎng zhāo rě zhè me yī kě pà de dà dí 。
何况此女曾说，她乃海族巨鲸王的小郡主，虽然是真是假，林轩还存有怀疑，但也不想招惹这么一可怕的大敌。
Besides, this woman had claimed to be the young princess of a great whale king. Although he was skeptical about her claim, he didn’t wish to provoke such a formidable enemy.
nǎo hǎi zhōng niàn tou zhuǎn guò ， lín xuān yǐ xiǎng hǎo le gāi zěn me zuò 。
脑海中念头转过，林轩已想好了该怎么做。
With his mind made up, Lin Xuan knew what to do next.
“ dōng fāng gū niáng ， wǒ men jiù zài zhè lǐ gào cí ， dào yǒu ruò zhēn shì jù jīng wáng zhī nǚ ， hái shì jǐn kuài huí dào hǎi dǐ xiān chéng lǐ qù ， chēng xiū wèi tài dī ， chū lái luàn pǎo shì hěn wēi xiǎn dì 。” lín xuān de shēng yīn ， chōng mǎn le chéng kěn zhī yì 。
“东方姑娘，我们就在这里告辞，道友若真是巨鲸王之女，还是尽快回到海底仙城里去，称修为太低，出来乱跑是很危险地。”林轩的声音，充满了诚恳之意。
"Eastern Miss, we bid you farewell here," said Lin Xuan with genuine sincerity. "If you are indeed the daughter of the Whale King, return to the Sea Fairy City as soon as possible; your cultivation is too low for such wandering."
“ duō xiè qián bèi ， míng qí xiǎo de 。” jīng cǐ yí mù ， diāo mán de xiǎo jùn zhǔ zhōng yú yě jiē shòu jiào xùn le ， rèn xìng yǒu shí hòu ， huì dài lái kě pà de hòu guǒ ， zì jǐ yǐ qián ， què shí tài shǎ tài tiān zhēn le 。
“多谢前辈，明琪晓得。”经此一幕，刁蛮的小郡主终于也接受教训了，任性有时候，会带来可怕的后果，自己以前，确实太傻太天真了。
"Thank you, Senior." Eastern Mingqi knew she had learned her lesson today. Sometimes,任性 could lead to terrible consequences. She was indeed too naive and foolish before.
“ ń ， nà wǒ men hòu huì yǒu qī 。”
“嗯，那我们后会有期。”
"Mm, then we will meet again."
lín xuān huà yīn wèi luò ， hún shēn jiù bèi yī gǔ qīng máng bāo guǒ ， rán ér shàng wèi pò kōng fēi zǒu ， dōng fāng míng qí de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ：“ qián bèi ， děng yī děng 。”
林轩话音未落，浑身就被一股青芒包裹，然而尚未破空飞走，东方明琪的声音传入耳朵：“前辈，等一等。”
Before Lin Xuan could finish speaking, a layer of green light enveloped his body. However, he hadn’t even broken the sky when Eastern Mingqi’s voice reached him: "Senior, wait a moment."
“ dào yǒu hái yǒu shì me ？”
“道友还有事么？”
"Is there something else, Fellow Daoist?"
lín xuān méi tou yí zhòu ， cǐ shí tiān sè hūn àn ， tā lí kāi shàng gǔ zhàn chuán ， chà bu duō yǐ yǒu jiē jìn yī zhěng tiān de shí jiān ， bù zhī dào hóng yè xiān zi qíng kuàng rú hé ， lín xuān kě bù xī wàng zì jǐ gāng gāng duān le wàn shòu zūn zhě de lǎo wō ， hóng yè nà biān ， què chū xiàn shén me biàn gù ， cǐ shí tā pò qiè xiǎng yào yǔ mèi mèi huì hé ， kě méi yǒu duō shǎo shí jiān dān gē 。
林轩眉头一皱，此时天色昏暗，他离开上古战船，差不多已有接近一整天的时间，不知道红叶仙子情况如何，林轩可不希望自己刚刚端了万兽尊者的老窝，红叶那边，却出现什么变故，此时他迫切想要与妹妹汇合，可没有多少时间耽搁。
Lin Xuan frowned as it was already dark outside. He had been away from the ancient warship for nearly an entire day and was concerned about Fairy Red Leaf's condition. He didn’t want any unexpected trouble on that front while he urgently needed to reunite with his sister.
“ qián bèi bú yào shēng qì ， xiǎo nǚ zǐ shì xiǎng yào sòng nǐ yī jiàn lín bié zhī lǐ 。”
“前辈不要生气，小女子是想要送你一件临别之礼。”
"Senior, please don't be angry; I wish to give you a farewell gift."
“ lín bié zhī lǐ ？” lín xuān yǒu diǎn yì wài de nán nán zì yǔ 。
“临别之礼？”林轩有点意外的喃喃自语。
"Farewell gift?" Lin Xuan muttered in surprise.
“ bù cuò ， qián bèi céng liǎng cì xiāng zhù ， qiè shēn zěn me kě néng yì diǎn biǎo shì yě wú ， bù guò xiǎo nǚ zǐ shēn shàng yě méi yǒu shén me hǎo de bǎo wù ， zhǐ yǒu zhè méi jù jīng wáng de lìng fú ， hái qǐng qián bèi bú yào xián qì de xiào nà 。” dōng fāng míng yù wēi xiào zhe shuō wán ， shēn shǒu yī pāi ， yī xiǎo qiǎo de lìng fú jiù chū xiàn zài le zhǎng xīn lǐ miàn 。
“不错，前辈曾两次相助，妾身怎么可能一点表示也无，不过小女子身上也没有什么好的宝物，只有这枚巨鲸王的令符，还请前辈不要嫌弃的笑纳。”东方明玉微笑着说完，伸手一拍，一小巧的令符就出现在了掌心里面。
"Yes, Senior, since you helped me twice, how could I not show my gratitude? But I have no other good treasures. This is the Whale King’s command token; please accept it without any hesitation," Eastern Mingqi smiled as she finished speaking and extended her hand to reveal a small command token.
The silver fishbirds, which had been suppressed for so long, suddenly surged like a flood breaking its dam.
妖气冲天！
Silver Fishbirds had been repressed for far too long before this moment; now, the eyes of every bird turned blood-red.
"Sanguineous Technique!"
The cries of the cultivators rose and fell in unison, their faces filled with extreme fear.
Though ordinary silver fishbirds were only second-stage beasts, they possessed a天赋 of berserking. Once triggered, not only would their cultivation surge by half a level or more, but their vitality would become incredibly resilient. Even if decapitated or pierced through, they could still struggle for some time before finally dying.
The only word that came to mind was 'fear.'
However, in normal circumstances, silver fishbirds couldn't berserk at will; they needed to meet certain conditions to activate the sanguineous technique.
Lin Xuan didn’t know what those conditions were. If these cultivators had used the sanguineous technique earlier, the light screen protecting White Tiger City would have been broken much sooner, and fewer beasts would have fallen. But it wasn't too late now!
With the禁制 broken, the cultivators were already uneasy. Seeing the silver fishbirds collectively using their berserking technique only made them more nervous…
"Ah! My God!"
The cries reached Lin Xuan's ears as a short, plump cultivator dressed in a merchant’s outfit turned and ran away. These outsiders had come to help because of the light screen, but now that it was gone, they naturally didn’t want to stay on the walls with evil cultivators.
But by running at this point, he was clearly too late and foolish—like a commoner encountering a tiger and fleeing, which is as good as suicide.

Puff! Puff! The light screen formed by his Black Dragon Armor Shield flickered under the impact. Lin Xuan frowned as a white hurricane appeared in his vision, swirling and roaring.
It was so powerful that it seemed to touch both heaven and earth.
More terrifyingly, this hurricane was made up of countless palm-sized wind blades spinning rapidly like a meat grinder.
Blood and feathers splattered everywhere; any bird that rushed forward was cut into pieces.

Lin Xuan’s divine sense swept over the entire island. Then, his light speed slowed as he landed Eastern Mingqi beside him.
Looking at her, Lin Xuan showed a hint of hesitation on his face.
Today, he had plundered the market for both material gain and to frame the Beast Sovereign. But this scene was witnessed by this woman.
If she said anything…
Lin Xuan shook his head. He owed no grudge but many favors to this woman; unless she was crazy, why would she harm him?
This possibility seemed unlikely. In front of him, this woman didn’t seem like someone who would be ungrateful or treacherous.
Moreover, even if she did say something, without evidence, who would believe her?
With his mind made up, Lin Xuan put aside any doubts.
After all, he didn't want to take such drastic measures unless absolutely necessary.
Besides, this woman had claimed to be the young princess of a great whale king. Although he was skeptical about her claim, he didn’t wish to provoke such a formidable enemy.
With his mind made up, Lin Xuan knew what to do next.
"Eastern Miss, we bid you farewell here," said Lin Xuan with genuine sincerity. "If you are indeed the daughter of the Whale King, return to the Sea Fairy City as soon as possible; your cultivation is too low for such wandering."
"Thank you, Senior." Eastern Mingqi knew she had learned her lesson today. Sometimes,任性 could lead to terrible consequences. She was indeed too naive and foolish before.
"Mm, then we will meet again."
Before Lin Xuan could finish speaking, a layer of green light enveloped his body. However, he hadn’t even broken the sky when Eastern Mingqi’s voice reached him: "Senior, wait a moment."
"Is there something else, Fellow Daoist?"
Lin Xuan frowned as it was already dark outside. He had been away from the ancient warship for nearly an entire day and was concerned about Fairy Red Leaf's condition. He didn’t want any unexpected trouble on that front while he urgently needed to reunite with his sister.
"Senior, please don't be angry; I wish to give you a farewell gift."
"Farewell gift?" Lin Xuan muttered in surprise.
"Yes, Senior, since you helped me twice, how could I not show my gratitude? But I have no other good treasures. This is the Whale King’s command token; please accept it without any hesitation," Eastern Mingqi smiled as she finished speaking and extended her hand to reveal a small command token.
