其他三女听了，也都默然不语，大姐这话，确然言之有理，如果拜轩阁的四位阁主，一起临阵脱逃，那对于天云十二州修士的士气，将是毁灭性的打击。
The other three women remained silent, nodding in agreement. Sister Lin's words were indeed reasonable: if the Four Pavilion Masters of the Vast Cloud Pavilion all abandoned their posts during a critical moment, it would be devastating for the morale of the cultivators from the Twelve States of Heaven and Cloud.
tā men quán bù zhàn sǐ ， zǒng hái néng gěi hòu rén yǐ jī lì ， fàng qì zǒng duò yǔ mén rén dì zǐ pǎo le ， zhè suàn zěn me yī huí shì 。
她们全部战死，总还能给后人以激励，放弃总舵与门人弟子跑了，这算怎么一回事。
If they fought to the death, at least they could inspire future generations with their sacrifice. But abandoning their positions and fleeing, what was that about?
xiū xiān zhě suī shuō wú lì bù zǎo qǐ ， dàn zài zhè zhǒng shí kè ， nà yě shì yǒu xuè xìng dì ， jué bù néng jǐn jǐn wèi le zì jǐ ， ér yào tì zhěng jīn tiān yún shí èr zhōu kǎo lǜ 。
修仙者虽说无利不早起，但在这种时刻，那也是有血性地，绝不能仅仅为了自己，而要替整今天云十二州考虑。
Cultivators might rise early for gain, but in such a moment, they should have blood and courage, not just thinking of themselves.
“ hǎo le ， liǎng wèi mèi mèi ， chēng men bú yào shāng xīn le ， qí shí yǔn luò yě bú shì nà me kě pà de 。” yì zhí chén mò bù yǔ de wǔ yún ér tū rán kāi kǒu le ：“ wǒ yǔ dà jiě ， zǎo jiù shāng liáng guò 。”
“好了，两位妹妹，称们不要伤心了，其实陨落也不是那么可怕的。”一直沉默不语的武云儿突然开口了：“我与大姐，早就商量过。”
"Alright, my two sisters, don't be sad. Actually, falling isn't so terrible," Wuyun'er suddenly spoke up after her long silence. "Sister Lin and I had already discussed this."
“ hǎo le ， mí men bié zài duō shuō ， dà dào lǐ wǒ yǐ jīng jiǎng guò 。” lù yíng ér shuō dào zhè lǐ ， liǎn shàng lù chū yī sī shāng gǎn zhī sè ：“ fǎn zhèng wǒ yǔ yún ér mèi mèi ， jīn nián dōu jiǔ bǎi duō suì le ， ér yǐ wǒ men de qíng kuàng ， shì jué bù kě néng tū pò píng jǐng mài rù lí hé ， huàn jù huà shuō ， jí shǐ wǒ men jīn tiān ， bù zhàn sǐ zài cǐ chù ， yě zuì duō yǒu yì bǎi nián hǎo huó ， nà yòu yǒu shén me yì yì ne ？”
“好了，弥们别再多说，大道理我已经讲过。”陆盈儿说到这里，脸上露出一丝伤感之色：“反正我与云儿妹妹，今年都九百多岁了，而以我们的情况，是绝不可能突破瓶颈迈入离合，换句话说，即使我们今天，不战死在此处，也最多有一百年好活，那又有什么意义呢？”
"Sisters, no more talking. The bigreason or principleI've said." Lu Ying'er's face showed a touch of sadness: "After all, Sister Yun and I are both over nine hundred years old. With our current situation, we can never break through the bottleneck to reach the Separation Realm. In other words, even if we don't die here today, we have at most a century left. What's the point?"
“ mí wǒ de zī zhì dōu bù chū zhòng ” néng yǒu jīn rì de chéng jiù gāi mǎn zú ， sǐ le yě jiù sǐ le ， jiě jiě wéi yī de yí hàn jiù shì ， bù néng zài jiàn shàng shào yé yí miàn de 。”
“弥我的资质都不出众”能有今日的成就该满足，死了也就死了，姐姐唯一的遗憾就是，不能再见上少爷一面的。”
"Myqualificationsaren't outstanding," she said with a sigh. "I should be content with my achievements and just die. The only regret is that I can no longer see Brother."
lù yíng ér shuō dào zhè lǐ ， sān nǚ yě dōu chuí xià tou qù ， tā men xīn zhōng de xiǎng ” hé cháng bú shì rú cǐ 。
陆盈儿说到这里，三女也都垂下头去，她们心中的想”何尝不是如此。
The faces of the other three women turned grim as well. "Could it be that some ancient demons have infiltrated us, masquerading as cultivators?"
“ rú guǒ shào yé zài cǐ chù ， yě xǔ shì qíng bú huì zhè yàng de ……” yè píng ér yōu yōu de shuō 。
“如果少爷在此处，也许事情不会这样的……”叶瓶儿幽幽的说。
Lu Ying'er's mind raced. The others had similar thoughts. In the face of an invasion from another world, cultivators naturally wouldn't surrender. However, ancient demons were not only vicious but also cunning. Some of them, known as Illusion Demons, could temporarily disguise themselves and sneak in. Although their strength wasn't formidable among the ancient demons, they caused significant destruction.
“ sì mèi ， bié shǎ le ， shī bó què shí shén tōng guǎng dà ， rán ér zhè cì mó zāi ” zhěng jīn tiān yún shí èr zhōu dōu wú xìng miǎn ， lín shī bó jiù suàn zài zhè lǐ ， yǐ tā yī rén zhī lì ， yòu zěn me lì wǎn kuáng lán ， zhǐ shì ， lín sǐ qián ” wǒ yě hǎo xiǎng jiàn shī bó yí miàn 。
“四妹，别傻了，师伯确实神通广大，然而这次魔灾”整今天云十二州都无幸免，林师伯就算在这里，以他一人之力，又怎么力挽狂澜，只是，临死前”我也好想见师伯一面。
The sound of a huge explosion entered their ears, shaking the ground despite the protectiveprohibition. The four women were startled.
jǐ nǚ dōu xiǎng qǐ le lín xuān ” chǎng miàn yī xià zi wēn xīn jìng mì le qǐ lái 。
几女都想起了林轩”场面一下子温馨静谧了起来。
"Could it be that ancient demons have breached our defenses?"
guò le yuē shí zhǎn chá de fū ， liú xīn cái chóng xīn dǎ pò le chén mò ：“ dà jiě ， xīn ér chéng rèn mí shuō dé méi cuò ， nà wèi shén me bù ràng xīn ér yì qǐ liú xià lái ne ， wǒ yě bǐ mí xiǎo bù liǎo jǐ suì de ， mí méi yǒu jī huì jìn jiē lí hé ， xīn ér jiù gèng méi yǒu le ， wǒ men jǐ jiě mèi zhōng ， wéi yī yǒu jī huì de ， jiù zhǐ yǒu píng ér mèi mèi ， tā shì zuì nián qīng de yí gè ， zī zhì yě shì zuì hǎo de 。”
过了约十盏茶的夫，刘芯才重新打破了沉默：“大姐，芯儿承认弥说得没错，那为什么不让芯儿一起留下来呢，我也比弥小不了几岁的，弥没有机会进阶离合，芯儿就更没有了，我们几姐妹中，唯一有机会的，就只有瓶儿妹妹，她是最年轻的一个，资质也是最好的。”
Lu Ying'er's voice echoed as she shook her head. "No, Vast Cloud Pavilion is in an extremely disadvantageous position, but we are not soft targets. Our subordinates just reported that they launched a fierce attack. Even if all the ancient demons came out, it wouldn't be so easy to breach us."
“ shǎ yā tou ， nǐ yǐ wéi lí kāi ， jiù shì hěn qīng sōng de shì me ， rú jīn tiān yún shí èr zhōu dào chù dōu shì gǔ mó ” wǒ men liǎ yǔn luò hòu shén me yě bù xiǎo de ， nǐ liǎ què xū yào shè bǎo zhù bài xuān gé de xīn huǒ ， zé rèn zhòng dà dé duō ， zhè me zhòng de dàn zi ， hè rěn xīn ràng píng ér mèi mèi yí gè rén tiāo me ？”
“傻丫头，你以为离开，就是很轻松的事么，如今天云十二州到处都是古魔”我们俩陨落后什么也不晓得，你俩却需要设保住拜轩阁的薪火，责任重大得多，这么重的担子，赫忍心让瓶儿妹妹一个人挑么？”
"Bad luck! Could there be some ancient demons masquerading as humans?"
“ wǒ ……”
“我……”
Lu Ying'er's mind raced with thoughts. The other three women agreed. In the face of an invasion from another world, cultivators naturally wouldn't surrender. However, ancient demons were cunning and could disguise themselves temporarily to infiltrate. Although their strength wasn't formidable among the ancient demons, they caused significant destruction.
liú xīn zhōng yú bù shuō huà le ， rán ér yǎn zhōng què yǒu shuǐ qì fú xiàn ér chū ” jǐn guǎn zhè jǐ bǎi nián ， tā chéng shú le xǔ duō ， jǐn guǎn tā yǐ shì bài xuān gé de èr gé zhǔ ， dàn zhè shí hòu què hěn cuì ruò ， dà jiě ， sān mèi ， zhēn de yào lí zì jǐ ér qù me ？
刘芯终于不说话了，然而眼中却有水汽浮现而出”尽管这几百年，她成熟了许多，尽管她已是拜轩阁的二阁主，但这时候却很脆弱，大姐，三妹，真的要离自己而去么？
The faces of the four women turned grim. "Let's go see."
yè píng ér de biǎo qíng yě chà bu duō 。
叶瓶儿的表情也差不多。
Lu Ying'er stood up: "Follow me." The other three women followed without hesitation, each displaying their abilities as colorful spiritual lights enveloped their bodies and they flew out from the Precious Tower.
shēng lí sǐ bié zǒng shì lìng rén nán guò ， rán ér jiù zài zhè shí ……
生离死别总是令人难过，然而就在这时……
Their leader, known as the Dragon Lady, didn't hesitate to follow them. Outside the tower, a fierce battle was raging on the left side. Flames shot up, black demonic energy flashed, and thunderous explosions filled the air.
yī jù dà de bào liè shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， zhěng gè dà dì dōu zài chàn dǒu ， jǐn guǎn yǒu jìn zhì bǎo hù ， yī jiù yǔ dì zhèn le chà bu duō 。
一巨大的爆裂声传入耳朵，整个大地都在颤抖，尽管有禁制保护，依旧与地震了差不多。
The Dragon Lady's expression changed dramatically, her voice full of fear: "It's bad! The direction is where the large teleportation array is located."
jǐ nǚ bù yóu de hài rán shī sè ， tā men kě shì wèi yú líng lóng gǔ de zuì shēn chù ” wài miàn jiù suàn dǎ dé fān tiān fù dì ， àn lǐ shuō ， zhè lǐ yě bú huì yǒu gǎn shòu 。
几女不由得骇然失色，她们可是位于玲珑谷的最深处”外面就算打得翻天覆地，按理说，这里也不会有感受。
"What?"
“ nán dào shì gǔ mó gōng jìn lái le ？”
“难道是古魔攻进来了？”
Lu Ying'er's face turned pale as she realized that the fate of Vast Cloud Pavilion rested on this array. She couldn't afford any mistakes.
yè píng ér tuō kǒu ér chū ， huà yīn gāng luò ” zì jǐ jiù yáo le yáo tóu ， bù cuò ， bài xuān gé shì chǔ yú jué duì de xià fēng ， dàn yě bú shì ruǎn shì yǔ ， kě yǐ rèn yóu gǔ mó ná niē de ， gāng gāng shǔ xià cái chuán lái qíng bào ， duì fāng cái fā dòng měng gōng ， jiù suàn suǒ yǒu de gǔ mó qīng cháo ér chū ， yě bù kě néng nà me kuài jiāng bài xuān gé gōng pò 。
叶瓶儿脱口而出，话音刚落”自己就摇了摇头，不错，拜轩阁是处于绝对的下风，但也不是软柿予，可以任由古魔拿捏的，刚刚属下才传来情报，对方才发动猛攻，就算所有的古魔倾巢而出，也不可能那么快将拜轩阁攻破。
"Damn it!"
“ bù hǎo ， nán dào shì yǒu gǔ mó ， mào chōng rén lèi xiū xiān zhě qián jìn lái le 。”
“不好，难道是有古魔，冒充人类修仙者潜进来了。”
Anger and sorrow flashed across her face as she emitted a green glow, flying towards the densest demonic energy. The others followed closely behind.
yè píng ér nǎo hǎi zhōng líng guāng shǎn guò ， qí tā jǐ gè yā tou yě xiǎng dào le ， miàn duì yì jiè yāo mó rù qīn ， suí yì tú chuō fán rén yǔ xiū xiān zhě ， xiū shì zì rán méi yǒu tóu xiáng yī shuō ， dàn gǔ mó bù jǐn xiōng cán ， ér qiě jiǎo huá ， qí zhōng yǒu yī xiǎo bù fèn huàn mó ， xiū liàn de chí shū ， kě yǐ zàn shí wěi zhuāng lèi xiū xiān zhě ， qiāo qiāo qián rù ， suī rán tā men zài gǔ mó zhōng ， shí lì bù suàn hěn lì hài ， dàn zào chéng de pò huài jué duì shì fēi tóng xiǎo kě 。
叶瓶儿脑海中灵光闪过，其他几个丫头也想到了，面对异界妖魔入侵，随意屠戳凡人与修仙者，修士自然没有投降一说，但古魔不仅凶残，而且狡猾，其中有一小部分幻魔，修炼的持殊，可以暂时伪装类修仙者，悄悄潜入，虽然他们在古魔中，实力不算很厉害，但造成的破坏绝对是非同小可。
The explosions continued. Despite their precarious situation, Vast Cloud Pavilion still had considerable strength, especially in places like the teleportation array, which was heavily guarded. However, the Illusion Demons were incredibly cunning and had infiltrated the pavilion long ago, with some even being given important roles to protect the array.
jǐ nǚ de liǎn sè ， dōu bù yóu de nán kàn dào jí chù ， lù yíng ér huò rán zhàn qǐ ：“ zǒu ， wǒ men kàn kàn qù 。”
几女的脸色，都不由得难看到极处，陆盈儿豁然站起：“走，我们看看去。”
Realizing the importance of the array, Lu Ying'er acted swiftly. The other Illusion Demons cooperated from within, as the saying went: "Aiming is easy; defending against a hidden arrow is hard." They caught Vast Cloud Pavilion's cultivators off guard.
lìng wài sān nǚ ， zì rán méi yǒu yì yì ， gè zhǎn shén tōng ， jiāo qū bèi wǔ yán liù sè de líng máng bāo guǒ ， cóng líng lóng bǎo tǎ zhōng fēi chū qù le 。
另外三女，自然没有异议，各展神通，娇躯被五颜六色的灵芒包裹，从玲珑宝塔中飞出去了。
Soon, Lu Ying'er and her companions arrived at the scene.
nà bèi chēng wéi lóng fū rén de lǎo jiě ， bù gǎn dài màn ， yě lián máng gēn le chū qù 。
那被称为龙夫人的老姐，不敢怠慢，也连忙跟了出去。
"Report to the Pavilion Master."
cái chū bǎo tǎ ， jiù jiàn qián fāng zuǒ cè zhī chù ， huǒ guāng chōng tiān ， yǒu hēi sè de mó qì lián shǎn ， gèng yǒu gǔn léi yì bān de bào liè shēng bù tíng chuán rù ěr biān 。
才出宝塔，就见前方左侧之处，火光冲天，黝黑色的魔气连闪，更有滚雷一般的爆裂声不停传入耳边。
Several cultivators were shocked and bowed. However, Lu Ying'er was too preoccupied with the situation to care about formalities: "How are things? How is the teleportation array?"
“ bàn ……”
“办……”
"We... we don't know," the leader stammered.
lóng fū rén de biǎo qíng ， sà rán dà biàn le ， shēng yīn zhōng dài zhe jīng jù yǔ huáng kǒng zhī sè ， lì sè dà hū ：“， bù hǎo ， jǐ wèi gé zhǔ ， nà …… fāng xiàng ， zhèng shì jù xíng chuán sòng zhèn suǒ zài de dì fāng méi cuò 。”
龙夫人的表情，飒然大变了，声音中带着惊惧与惶恐之色，厉色大呼：“，不好，几位阁主，那……方向，正是巨型传送阵所在的地方没错。”
"Trash!"
“ shén me ？”
“什么？”
Lu Ying'er snapped, her body emitting a green glow as she flew towards the densest demonic fog. It was a small valley that had been thoroughly destroyed. Lu Ying'er's gaze turned blood-red as she saw the large hole in the center of the teleportation array. Her fears had come true: it had been destroyed.
lù yíng ér huò rán biàn sè ， bài xuān gé néng fǒu bǎo liú xīn huǒ ， tā jiāng bǎo quán dōu yā zài chuán sòng zhèn shàng miàn le ， cǐ wù ， jué bù néng yǒu fēn háo shǎn shī de 。
陆盈儿豁然变色，拜轩阁能否保留薪火，她将宝全都压在传送阵上面了，此物，绝不能有分毫闪失的。
"Damn it!"
kě wù ！
可恶！
Lu Ying'er stared at the destruction, her eyes turning bloodshot. She had hoped to preserve Vast Cloud Pavilion's legacy, but now that was a distant dream.
cǐ nǚ liǎn shàng liú lù chū bēi fèn zhī sè ， hún shēn qīng máng dà qǐ ， xiàng nà mó qì zuì wèi nóng yù de dì fāng fēi le guò qù 。
此女脸上流露出悲愤之色，浑身青芒大起，像那魔气最为浓郁的地方飞了过去。
"These damned ancient demons!"
qí tā sān nǚ duì shì yī yǎn ， biǎo qíng yě tóng yàng bù hǎo kàn ， jǐn suí zài jiě jiě de hòu miàn 。
其他三女对视一眼，表情也同样不好看，紧随在姐姐的后面。
Lu Ying'er shouted as she waved her hand, summoning a fiery sword. Flames burst forth from its tip.
bào liè shēng bù tíng de chuán rù ěr duǒ ， bài xuān gé rú jīn suī rán zhǐ shì fēng yǔ piāo yáo ， dàn píng xīn lái shuō ， shí lì yī jiù bù ruò ， guāng qí shì xiàng chuán sòng zhèn zhè yàng de zhòng yào zhī dì ， gèng shì yǒu zhòng bīng shǒu hù dì ， kě xī nà xiē huàn mó shí zài shì jiǎo huá wú bǐ ， jìng rán zǎo jiù qián rù le bài xuān gé ， ér qiě yì zhí yǐn rěn zhe ， qí zhōng yǒu jí shǎo shù ， shèn zhì hái dé dào le zhòng yòng ， chéng wéi shǒu hù chuán sòng zhèn de xiū shì zhī yī 。
爆裂声不停的传入耳朵，拜轩阁如今虽然只是风雨飘摇，但平心来说，实力依旧不弱，光其是像传送阵这样的重要之地，更是有重兵守护地，可惜那些幻魔实在是狡猾无比，竟然早就潜入了拜轩阁，而且一直隐忍着，其中有极少数，甚至还得到了重用，成为守护传送阵的修士之一。
"Go!"
xiǎo de cǐ wù de zhòng yào xìng yǐ hòu ， sà rán dòng shǒu ， qí tā de huàn mó ， yě lǐ yìng wài hé ， sú huà shuō ， míng qiāng yì duǒ ， àn jiàn nán fáng ， duì fāng yǐ yǒu xīn suàn wú yì ， dǎ le bài xuān gé zhòng xiū shì yí gè cuò shǒu bù jí 。
晓得此物的重要性以后，飒然动手，其他的幻魔，也里应外合，俗话说，明枪易躲，暗箭难防，对方以有心算无意，打了拜轩阁众修士一个措手不及。
Lu Ying'er pointed at the nearest ancient demon. The flames formed a phoenix shape and charged towards it.
hěn kuài ， lù yíng ér tā men jiù lái dào le zhè lǐ 。
很快，陆盈儿她们就来到了这里。
The ancient demon, the most powerful among them, was only at the late-stage Core Formation stage. These demons were skilled in concealment and illusions, not direct combat.
“ cān jiàn gé zhǔ 。”
“参见阁主。”
A cultivator fiercely attacked. The ancient demon didn't dare to underestimate him. It punched its chest with a loud thud, creating a black shield that rotated before forming a triangular shield.
yíng miàn yù jiàn de jǐ míng xiū xiān zhě dà jīng shī sè ， máng gōng shēn shī lǐ le ， rán ér cǐ shí cǐ kè ， lù yíng ér nǎ hái gù dé shàng zhè xiē xū lǐ shén me ， liǎn sè yīn mái de kāi kǒu le ：“ xiàn zài qíng kuàng rú hé ， chuán sòng zhèn zěn me yàng le ？”
迎面遇见的几名修仙者大惊失色，忙躬身施礼了，然而此时此刻，陆盈儿哪还顾得上这些虚礼什么，脸色阴霾的开口了：“现在情况如何，传送阵怎么样了？”
The phoenix charged head-on.
“ shǔ …… shǔ xià yě bù qīng chǔ 。”， nà lǐng tóu zhī rén nà nà de shuō 。
“属……属下也不清楚。”，那领头之人呐呐的说。
Boom!
“ fèi wù ！”
“废物！”
Explosions filled the air as green and black energy intertwined. The scene resembled a torn tapestry, with the ancient demons' deafening cries mixed in. In one strike, he was killed despite being at the same stage as his opponent.
lù yíng ér yī shēng duàn hē ， suí hòu hún shēn qīng máng yì qǐ ， xiàng qián fāng de mó wù fēi le jìn qù ， nà shì yī xiǎo xiǎo de shān gǔ ， lǐ miàn zǎo yǐ shì dǎ dé yī tā hú tú ， lù yíng ér mù guāng sǎo guò ， biǎo qíng jiù mù chì yù liè le ， zhè yī lù shàng tā jiù xīn zhōng tǎn tè ， méi xiǎng dào dān xīn hái shì biàn chéng le xiàn shí ， chuán sòng zhèn de zhèng zhōng ， chū xiàn le hǎo dà yī gè dòng ， guǒ rán bèi huǐ qù le 。
陆盈儿一声断喝，随后浑身青芒一起，像前方的魔雾飞了进去，那是一小小的山谷，里面早已是打得一塌糊涂，陆盈儿目光扫过，表情就目赤欲裂了，这一路上她就心中忐忑，没想到担心还是变成了现实，传送阵的正中，出现了好大一个洞，果然被毁去了。
Though it was a vengeful attack, its power was impressive.
“ kě wù ！”
“可恶！”
Times had changed; Lu Ying'er's strength seemed far beyond that of ordinary cultivators.
lù yíng ér dìng dìng de kàn zhe ， suí hòu tā de yǎn jīng ， biàn chéng le xuè hóng zhī sè ， yuán běn xiǎng yào bǎo liú bài xuān gé de xīn huǒ ， cǐ shí cǐ kè ， què biàn chéng shē wàng le 。
陆盈儿定定的看着，随后她的眼睛，变成了血红之色，原本想要保留拜轩阁的薪火，此时此刻，却变成奢望了。
The ancient demon fell to the ground withunwillingness to accept defeat or be satisfied.
“ zhè xiē gāi sǐ de gǔ mó ！”
“这些该死的古魔！”
With their leader dead, the other Illusion Demons were no longer formidable. The other three Pavilion Masters and the Dragon Lady wouldn't stand idly by. With five Core Formation cultivators joining in, the battle had no suspense. All infiltrating ancient demons were killed without a single escapee.
lù yíng ér yī shēng jiāo hē ， yù shǒu yī fú ， yī bǐng huǒ hóng sè de xiān jiàn fēi lüè ér chū ， hū ， shàng miàn bù zhǐ yǒu hóng máng shǎn shuò ， gèng yǒu huǒ yàn cuān shēng ér chū 。
陆盈儿一声娇喝，玉手一拂，一柄火红色的仙剑飞掠而出，呼，上面不止有红芒闪烁，更有火焰蹿升而出。
The victory was swift, but Lu Ying'er's face showed no joy as she looked at the destroyed teleportation array. Her expression was grim.
“ jí ！”，
“疾！”，
Ruci and Wuyun'er exchanged glances, their expressions complex. They wanted to die with their sister, but Sister Lin had made it clear that if Vast Cloud Pavilion's lineage was cut off, they would let down Brother.
lù yíng ér yī zhǐ xiàng qián diǎn qù ， nà xiē huǒ yàn yī zhǎng yī suō ， jìng rán huàn huà chū yī fèng huáng de xíng zhuàng lái le ， shuāng chì yī zhǎn ” chōng xiàng le lí dé zuì jìn de yí gè gǔ mó 。
陆盈儿一指向前点去，那些火焰一涨一缩，竟然幻化出一凤凰的形状来了，双翅一展”冲向了离得最近的一个古魔。
Now there was no choice; the array was destroyed, leaving them with nowhere to go.
nà yě shì zài chǎng huàn mó zhōng ， xiū wèi zuì gāo de yí gè 。
那也是在场幻魔中，修为最高的一个。
"What should we do now, Sister Lin?"
bù guò yě jǐn shì yuán yīng zhōng qī ér yǐ ， zhè lèi gǔ mó ， shàn cháng de běn lái jiù shì yǐn nì yǔ huàn shù ， zhàn dòu fēi xī men suǒ zhǎng de 。
不过也仅是元婴中期而已，这类古魔，擅长的本来就是隐匿与幻术，战斗非牺们所长的。
Wuyun'er, the smartest of the four, scanned the area and spoke slowly: "I don't know."
yī dà xiū shì fèn rán chū shǒu ， nà gǔ mó zì rán bù gǎn qīng hū ， shēn chū shǒu lái ， hěn hěn zài xiōng 。 chuí le yī quán ， mó qì dà zuò ， zài tā shēn qián dī liū liū xuán zhuǎn ， rán hòu jù hé ， yí miàn shàng jiān xià fāng de dùn pái fú xiàn ér chū 。
一大修士愤然出手，那古魔自然不敢轻忽，伸出手来，狠狠在胸。捶了一拳，魔气大做，在他身前滴溜溜旋转，然后聚合，一面上尖下方的盾牌浮现而出。
Lu Ying'er sighed, her face showing exhaustion. She had strived for this moment but ended up in ruins. Any cultivator would be devastated by such a situation.
fèng huáng què háo bù shì ruò ， zhǎn chì yíng tóu zhuàng shàng qù le 。
凤凰却毫不示弱，展翅迎头撞上去了。
"Please forgive me, Pavilion Master. Please forgive me. It was my carelessness that allowed the ancient demons to infiltrate. Please punish me," the Dragon Lady knelt with fear on her face.
hōng ！
轰！
Lu Ying'er sighed: "Dragon Lady, please rise."
bào liè shēng dà zuò ， hóng máng hēi qì hù xiāng jiāo zhī ， suí hòu ， fǎng fú bù jǐn bèi sī pò ， lǐ miàn hái jiā zá zhe gǔ mó jīng tiān dòng dì de cǎn hū ， jǐn jǐn yī jī ， tā yě shì yuán yīng zhōng qī de gǔ mó ， què lián duì fāng yī jī dōu méi yǒu dǎng zhù ， bèi miè shā diào le 。
爆裂声大做，红芒黑气互相交织，随后，仿佛布锦被撕破，里面还夹杂着古魔惊天动地的惨呼，仅仅一击，他也是元婴中期的古魔，却连对方一击都没有挡住，被灭杀掉了。
PS: The competition for monthly votes is intense; it's no less fierce than the battle at Vast Cloud Pavilion! Baixuan Pavilion has support from various allies, while Baixian here seeks your support. Thank you!
The other three women remained silent, nodding in agreement. Sister Lin's words were indeed reasonable: if the Four Pavilion Masters of the Vast Cloud Pavilion all abandoned their posts during a critical moment, it would be devastating for the morale of the cultivators from the Twelve States of Heaven and Cloud.
If they fought to the death, at least they could inspire future generations with their sacrifice. But abandoning their positions and fleeing, what was that about?
Cultivators might rise early for gain, but in such a moment, they should have blood and courage, not just thinking of themselves.
"Alright, my two sisters, don't be sad. Actually, falling isn't so terrible," Wuyun'er suddenly spoke up after her long silence. "Sister Lin and I had already discussed this."
"But..."
"Sisters, no more talking. The bigreason or principleI've said." Lu Ying'er's face showed a touch of sadness: "After all, Sister Yun and I are both over nine hundred years old. With our current situation, we can never break through the bottleneck to reach the Separation Realm. In other words, even if we don't die here today, we have at most a century left. What's the point?"
"Myqualificationsaren't outstanding," she said with a sigh. "I should be content with my achievements and just die. The only regret is that I can no longer see Brother."
The faces of the other three women turned grim as well. "Could it be that some ancient demons have infiltrated us, masquerading as cultivators?"
Lu Ying'er's mind raced. The others had similar thoughts. In the face of an invasion from another world, cultivators naturally wouldn't surrender. However, ancient demons were not only vicious but also cunning. Some of them, known as Illusion Demons, could temporarily disguise themselves and sneak in. Although their strength wasn't formidable among the ancient demons, they caused significant destruction.
The sound of a huge explosion entered their ears, shaking the ground despite the protectiveprohibition. The four women were startled.
"Could it be that ancient demons have breached our defenses?"
Lu Ying'er's voice echoed as she shook her head. "No, Vast Cloud Pavilion is in an extremely disadvantageous position, but we are not soft targets. Our subordinates just reported that they launched a fierce attack. Even if all the ancient demons came out, it wouldn't be so easy to breach us."
"Bad luck! Could there be some ancient demons masquerading as humans?"
Lu Ying'er's mind raced with thoughts. The other three women agreed. In the face of an invasion from another world, cultivators naturally wouldn't surrender. However, ancient demons were cunning and could disguise themselves temporarily to infiltrate. Although their strength wasn't formidable among the ancient demons, they caused significant destruction.
The faces of the four women turned grim. "Let's go see."
Lu Ying'er stood up: "Follow me." The other three women followed without hesitation, each displaying their abilities as colorful spiritual lights enveloped their bodies and they flew out from the Precious Tower.
Their leader, known as the Dragon Lady, didn't hesitate to follow them. Outside the tower, a fierce battle was raging on the left side. Flames shot up, black demonic energy flashed, and thunderous explosions filled the air.
"Brother..."
The Dragon Lady's expression changed dramatically, her voice full of fear: "It's bad! The direction is where the large teleportation array is located."
"What?"
Lu Ying'er's face turned pale as she realized that the fate of Vast Cloud Pavilion rested on this array. She couldn't afford any mistakes.
"Damn it!"
Anger and sorrow flashed across her face as she emitted a green glow, flying towards the densest demonic energy. The others followed closely behind.
The explosions continued. Despite their precarious situation, Vast Cloud Pavilion still had considerable strength, especially in places like the teleportation array, which was heavily guarded. However, the Illusion Demons were incredibly cunning and had infiltrated the pavilion long ago, with some even being given important roles to protect the array.
Realizing the importance of the array, Lu Ying'er acted swiftly. The other Illusion Demons cooperated from within, as the saying went: "Aiming is easy; defending against a hidden arrow is hard." They caught Vast Cloud Pavilion's cultivators off guard.
Soon, Lu Ying'er and her companions arrived at the scene.
"Report to the Pavilion Master."
Several cultivators were shocked and bowed. However, Lu Ying'er was too preoccupied with the situation to care about formalities: "How are things? How is the teleportation array?"
"We... we don't know," the leader stammered.
"Trash!"
Lu Ying'er snapped, her body emitting a green glow as she flew towards the densest demonic fog. It was a small valley that had been thoroughly destroyed. Lu Ying'er's gaze turned blood-red as she saw the large hole in the center of the teleportation array. Her fears had come true: it had been destroyed.
"Damn it!"
Lu Ying'er stared at the destruction, her eyes turning bloodshot. She had hoped to preserve Vast Cloud Pavilion's legacy, but now that was a distant dream.
"These damned ancient demons!"
Lu Ying'er shouted as she waved her hand, summoning a fiery sword. Flames burst forth from its tip.
"Go!"
Lu Ying'er pointed at the nearest ancient demon. The flames formed a phoenix shape and charged towards it.
The ancient demon, the most powerful among them, was only at the late-stage Core Formation stage. These demons were skilled in concealment and illusions, not direct combat.
A cultivator fiercely attacked. The ancient demon didn't dare to underestimate him. It punched its chest with a loud thud, creating a black shield that rotated before forming a triangular shield.
The phoenix charged head-on.
Boom!
Explosions filled the air as green and black energy intertwined. The scene resembled a torn tapestry, with the ancient demons' deafening cries mixed in. In one strike, he was killed despite being at the same stage as his opponent.
Though it was a vengeful attack, its power was impressive.
Times had changed; Lu Ying'er's strength seemed far beyond that of ordinary cultivators.
The ancient demon fell to the ground withunwillingness to accept defeat or be satisfied.
With their leader dead, the other Illusion Demons were no longer formidable. The other three Pavilion Masters and the Dragon Lady wouldn't stand idly by. With five Core Formation cultivators joining in, the battle had no suspense. All infiltrating ancient demons were killed without a single escapee.
The victory was swift, but Lu Ying'er's face showed no joy as she looked at the destroyed teleportation array. Her expression was grim.
Ruci and Wuyun'er exchanged glances, their expressions complex. They wanted to die with their sister, but Sister Lin had made it clear that if Vast Cloud Pavilion's lineage was cut off, they would let down Brother.
Now there was no choice; the array was destroyed, leaving them with nowhere to go.
"What should we do now, Sister Lin?"
Wuyun'er, the smartest of the four, scanned the area and spoke slowly: "I don't know."
Lu Ying'er sighed, her face showing exhaustion. She had strived for this moment but ended up in ruins. Any cultivator would be devastated by such a situation.
"Please forgive me, Pavilion Master. Please forgive me. It was my carelessness that allowed the ancient demons to infiltrate. Please punish me," the Dragon Lady knelt with fear on her face.
Lu Ying'er sighed: "Dragon Lady, please rise."
