第两千零一十章林轩闪亮登场
Chapter 2010: Lin Xuan Makes His Grand Appearance
gǔ mó xiǎn de fēi cháng de dé yì ：“ rú hé ， nǐ men zuì hòu de jì liǎng yě bèi shí pò ， rú jīn hái yǒu shén me bàn fǎ ， shí xiàng de ， jiù shù shǒu jiù fù ， hái kě yǐ shǎo shòu yī xiē kǔ chǔ 。”
古魔显得非常的得意：“如何，你们最后的伎俩也被识破，如今还有什么办法，识相的，就束手就缚，还可以少受一些苦楚。”
The ancient demon seemed quite smug. "How about that? You've exhausted all your tricks, and now what can you do? If you're wise, surrender and suffer less."
“ xiū xiǎng 。”
“休想。”
"Never!"
6 yíng ér yòu jīng yòu nù ， zì jǐ yǐ jīng huō chū mìng dōu bú yào le ， méi xiǎng dào hái shì qí chà yī bù ， xīn zhōng bēi fèn wú bǐ ， dàn tā shì jué bú huì shù shǒu jiù qín dì ：“ gè wèi dào yǒu ， shì dào rú jīn ， wéi yǒu sǐ zhàn ér yǐ ， yǔ zhè xiē gǔ mó pīn le ， shā yí gè gòu běn ， shā liǎng gè jiù yǒu zhuàn dì 。”
6盈儿又惊又怒，自己已经豁出命都不要了，没想到还是棋差一步，心中悲愤无比，但她是绝不会束手就擒地：“各位道友，事到如今，唯有死战而已，与这些古魔拼了，杀一个够本，杀两个就有赚地。”
Ying'er was both shocked and angry. She had risked her life, but still fell short by one step. Her heart was filled with sorrow and frustration, yet she would never submit: "Fellow Daoists, there's no other choice now—only to fight to the death! Let's fight these ancient demons. Kill one, you break even; kill two, and you make a profit."
“ pīn ， nǐ ná shén me pīn ， qū qū yī yuán yīng hòu qī de xiū xiān zhě ， běn zuò yī zhī shǒu jiù néng sòng nǐ dào yīn cáo dì fǔ ， dàn wǒ bú huì shā nǐ de ， wǒ huì jiāng nǐ shēng qín huó zhuō ， zuò chéng mó huà kuǐ lěi ， táng táng bài xuān gé zhī zhǔ ， xiǎng bì shì hěn yǒu yì si de 。”
“拼，你拿什么拼，区区一元婴后期的修仙者，本座一只手就能送你到阴曹地府，但我不会杀你的，我会将你生擒活捉，做成魔化傀儡，堂堂拜轩阁之主，想必是很有意思的。”
"Fight? What do you have to fight with? Just an early-stage Immortal婴后期 cultivator, this master can send you straight to hell with just one hand. But I won't kill you—I'll capture you alive and turn you into a demon puppet. As the head of Bai Xuan Pavilion, it's bound to be quite entertaining."
6 yíng ér xīn hán le ， hǎo hěn de gǔ mó ， rú cǐ yī lái ， bù jǐn zì jǐ qiú shēng bù néng ， qiú sǐ bù dé ， ér qiě duì zhěng gè tiān yún shí èr zhōu dǐ kàng dī shì qì ， jiāng shì nán yǐ gū liáng de dǎ jī 。
6盈儿心寒了，好狠的古魔，如此一来，不仅自己求生不能，求死不得，而且对整个天云十二州抵抗的士气，将是难以估量的打击。
Ying'er shivered in fear. The ancient demons were ruthless; not only would she have no chance at survival or death, but this would also deal an incalculable blow to the morale of the entire Twelve Provinces of Tianyun.
nǐ xiǎng ， lián táng táng bài xuān gé zhī zhǔ ， dōu bèi zuò chéng le mó huà de kuǐ lěi zhī wù ， qí tā rén ， dǐ kàng hái yǒu yì yì me ？
你想，连堂堂拜轩阁之主，都被做成了魔化的傀儡之物，其他人，抵抗还有意义么？
Think about it: if even the head of Bai Xuan Pavilion could be turned into a demon puppet, what hope was there for anyone else?
piān piān zhè shí hòu ， lián zì bào dōu bù kě dé ，6 yíng ér de liǎn sè ， shà bái shà bái de 。
偏偏这时候，连自爆都不可得，6盈儿的脸色，煞白煞白的。
Just as Ying'er's face paled with fear, she realized that self-destructing wasn't an option either. The ancient demons' array had already nullified her attempt to blow herself up.
tā yǒu xiē luàn fāng cùn le ， bì jìng zài jiān qiáng ， zǒng yě shì yǒu jí xiàn de ， zì jǐ huō chū qù ， lián mìng dōu bú yào le ， kě yī jiù chù chù shòu zhì yú gǔ mó zhī shǒu 。
她有些乱方寸了，毕竟再坚强，总也是有极限的，自己豁出去，连命都不要了，可依旧处处受制于古魔之手。
Ying'er was in such a state of shock; even the others were trembling and weeping uncontrollably. The morale of Bai Xuan Pavilion plummeted to its lowest point, and it seemed their resistance would collapse completely.
xiān shì chuán sòng zhèn ， xiàn zài lián zì bào yě bèi duì fāng gěi huà jiě diào le 。
先是传送阵，现在连自暴也被对方给化解掉了。
But just as this despair reached its peak, chaos erupted behind the ancient demons. A cold voice echoed: "Turning Ying'er into a puppet? What audacity! You dare bully my servant without asking me first. Just a few Separation期 existences dared to be so arrogant here. I'll make you suffer in life and death."
6 yíng ér shàng qiě rú cǐ ， qí tā rén jiù gèng bú yòng shuō ， zhěng gè bài xuān gé ， shì qì dī luò dào wú yǐ fù jiā de dì bù ， yǎn kàn dǐ kàng de yì zhì ， jiù yào bīng xiāo wǎ jiě le 。
6盈儿尚且如此，其他人就更不用说，整个拜轩阁，士气低落到无以复加的地步，眼看抵抗的意志，就要冰消瓦解了。
This voice...
rán ér jiù zài zhè shí ， gǔ mó de hòu zhèn ， què sà rán luàn qǐ lái le ， suí hòu yī lěng lěng de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ：“ jiāng yíng ér zuò chéng kuǐ lěi zhī wù ， hǎo dà de kǒu qì ， qī fù běn shào yé de shì nǚ ， yǒu méi yǒu wèn guò wǒ tóng bù tóng yì ， qū qū jǐ míng lí hé qī cún zài ， yě gǎn zài zhè lǐ xiāo zhāng bá hù ， yī huì er wǒ yào nǐ qiú shēng bù néng ， qiú sǐ bù dé 。”
然而就在这时，古魔的后阵，却飒然乱起来了，随后一冷冷的声音传入耳朵：“将盈儿做成傀儡之物，好大的口气，欺负本少爷的侍女，有没有问过我同不同意，区区几名离合期存在，也敢在这里嚣张跋扈，一会儿我要你求生不能，求死不得。”
The others were already shaken.
zhè shēng yīn ……
这声音……
Four Pavilion Masters of Bai Xuan—Ying'er, Liu Xin, Wu Yun'er, and Ye Ping'er—all froze, their faces filled with shock beyond measure.
qí tā rén yě jiù bà le 。
其他人也就罢了。
A look of confusion flashed across their eyes.
bài xuān gé de sì wèi gé zhǔ ，6 yíng ér ， liú xīn ， wǔ yún ér ， yè píng ér ， quán bù dāi zhù ， liǎn shàng de biǎo qíng zhèn jīng dào wú yǐ fù jiā de dì bù 。
拜轩阁的四位阁主，6盈儿，刘芯，武云儿，叶瓶儿，全部呆住，脸上的表情震惊到无以复加的地步。
Was this a dream?
máng rán zhī yì ， zài sì nǚ de yǎn zhōng shǎn guò 。
茫然之意，在四女的眼中闪过。
Or was it the last delusion before death? She actually heard her master's voice!
zhè shì zuò mèng me ？
这是做梦么？
How could that be possible? Didn't he ascend to the Spirit Realm long ago?
hái shì lín sǐ qián huàn jué ， jū rán tīng jiàn shào yé de shēng yīn le 。
还是临死前幻觉，居然听见少爷的声音了。
And due to the laws of the universe, high-level cultivators couldn't return to lower realms.
zěn me kě néng ， shào yé bú shì zǎo yǐ fēi shēng dào líng jiè 。
怎么可能，少爷不是早已飞升到灵界。
How could he possibly be here?
ér yóu yú tiān dì fǎ zé ， shàng wèi jiè miàn de xiū shì shì bù kě néng zài dào xià wèi jiè miàn lái de 。
而由于天地法则，上位界面的修士是不可能再到下位界面来的。
After the initial shock and confusion, Ying'er turned to face Lin Xuan. She confirmed she hadn't heard wrong; it was indeed her master.
shào yé zěn me kě néng zài zhè lǐ ne ？
少爷怎么可能在这里呢？
Innumerable hardships later, this time, heaven had not disappointed her. The chaos behind the ancient demons suddenly dissipated as countless ancient demons fell. A patch of clear land emerged from the swirling demon mists.
jīng yà máng rán guò hòu ，6 yíng ér què zhuǎn guò le qín ， tā què rèn zì jǐ méi yǒu tīng cuò ， zhēn de shì shào yé
惊讶茫然过后，6盈儿却转过了螓，她确认自己没有听错，真的是少爷
A flash of green light revealed a common-looking youth in the sky.
me ？
么？
Surrounding him were numerous grotesque ancient demons. Yet he stood calmly amidst them, smiling: "Ying'er, are you all well?"
wú shù de kǔ nàn zhī hòu ， zhè yī cì ， lǎo tiān yé méi yǒu zài ràng tā shī wàng le ， zhǐ jiàn gǔ mó de hòu zhèn ， yī xià zi dà luàn le qǐ lái ， wú shù gǔ mó ， mò míng qí miào jiù yǔn luò diào le ， màn tiān de mó wù ， yě bèi dàng chū le yī piàn jìng tǔ 。
无数的苦难之后，这一次，老天爷没有再让她失望了，只见古魔的后阵，一下子大乱了起来，无数古魔，莫名其妙就陨落掉了，漫天的魔雾，也被荡出了一片净土。
His voice was soft but thunderous to Ying'er's ears.
qīng guāng yī shǎn ， tiān kōng xiàn le yī róng mào pǔ tōng de shào nián 。
青光一闪，天空现了一容貌普通的少年。
She had not faltered even when surrounded by ancient demons; she did not retreat even as she chose self-destruction. But now, tears streamed down her face like a small woman.
tā de shēn cè ， biàn bù wú shù xíng tài zhēng níng de gǔ mó ， yí gè rén shēn zài wàn jūn cóng zhōng ， què shén sè cóng róng ， liǎn shàng dài zhe kuǎn kuǎn de xiào róng ：“ yíng ér ， nǐ men jǐ gè ， dōu hái hǎo me ？”
他的身侧，遍布无数形态狰狞的古魔，一个人身在万军丛中，却神色从容，脸上带着款款的笑容：“盈儿，你们几个，都还好么？”
If it weren't for the many ancient demons between them, she would have thrown herself into Lin Xuan's arms.
shēng yīn hěn qīng ， rán ér tīng zài 6 yíng ér de ěr lǐ ， què rú tóng qíng tiān pī lì 。
声音很轻，然而听在6盈儿的耳里，却如同晴天霹雳。
Heaven was indeed kind to her—she could see her master one last time before falling; even if she were to be turned into a demon cultivator or suffer eternal torment in the Netherworld, she would still find contentment.
bèi gǔ mó wéi kùn tā bù céng ruǎn ruò ， jí biàn xuǎn zé zì bào yě tā bù céng tuì suō ， rán ér cǐ shí cǐ kè ， tā què fǎng fú yí gè xiǎo nǚ rén bān de lèi liú mǎn miàn le 。
被古魔围困她不曾软弱，即便选择自爆也他不曾退缩，然而此时此刻，她却仿佛一个小女人般的泪流满面了。
After all these thoughts and hopes, Ying'er was so overwhelmed with emotion that she didn't know what to say. The other girls trembled uncontrollably, their tears streaming down their faces.
rú guǒ bú shì zhōng jiān hái gé zhe nà me duō gǔ mó ， tā zǎo yǐ pū dào lín xuān de huái zhōng 。
如果不是中间还隔着那么多古魔，她早已扑到林轩的怀中。
"Master, I've missed you."
lǎo tiān yé dài zì jǐ zhēn shì bù báo ， zài yǔn luò zhī qián hái kě yǐ jiàn shào yé yí miàn ， bié shuō bèi zuò chéng mó huà xiū shì le ， jiù suàn yǒng yuǎn duò rù jiǔ yōu ， shòu nà wàn shé shì hún zhī kǔ ， tā yě zhī zú 。
老天爷待自己真是不薄，在陨落之前还可以见少爷一面，别说被做成魔化修士了，就算永远堕入九幽，受那万蛇噬魂之苦，她也知足。
All her feelings condensed into one simple sentence, too moved to check on Lin Xuan's current cultivation level.
qiān bān niàn xiǎng ， wàn cháo qǐ pàn ， rán ér cǐ kè zhēn de jiàn miàn ，6 yíng ér què jī dòng dé bù zhī dào gāi yòng shén me yǔ yán 。
千般念想，万朝企盼，然而此刻真的见面，6盈儿却激动得不知道该用什么语言。
But the ancient demons were in a state of shock.
qí tā jǐ gè yā tou ， yě hún shēn dǒu ， lèi liú mǎn miàn ， xīn qíng zì bù dài yán 。
其他几个丫头，也浑身抖，泪流满面，心情自不待言。
Lin Xuan did not recognize them and was unaware of his connection with Bai Xuan Pavilion. But he knew for certain that this man was an early-stage Daoist cultivator.
“ shào yé ， yíng ér xiǎng nǐ le 。”
“少爷，盈儿想你了。”
Initially, he thought it might be a mistake, but after several scans with his divine sense, he confirmed the man's true nature—certainly not anything less than an early-stage Daoist.
zuì hòu qiān yán wàn yǔ ， zhǐ huà wèi le zhè me yī jù ， yīn wèi tài guò jī dòng de yuán gù ， tā shèn zhì dōu méi yǒu qù chá kàn lín xuān rú jīn xiū wèi ， yǐ jīng dào shén me dì bù 。
最后千言万语，只化为了这么一句，因为太过激动的缘故，她甚至都没有去查看林轩如今修为，已经到什么地步。
He asked two trusted assistants, Di Demonic and Yuan Demonic. Their responses further solidified his conclusion: these two Separation期 ancient demons couldn't even determine the other's cultivation level; what else could it be but a true early-stage Daoist?
rán ér gǔ mó què dà jīng shī sè 。
然而古魔却大惊失色。
But... how was this possible?
lín xuān tā zì rán bìng bù rèn shí ， yě bù xiǎo de ， yǎn qián de nán zi ， yǔ bài xuān gé yǒu shén me guān xì ， dàn yǒu yì diǎn shì kěn dìng de ， duì fāng shì dòng xuán qī xiū xiān zhě 。
林轩他自然并不认识，也不晓得，眼前的男子，与拜轩阁有什么关系，但有一点是肯定的，对方是洞玄期修仙者。
How could there be an early-stage cultivator in the mortal realm? They should have ascended to their demon realm or Spirit Realm long ago.
zuì kāi shǐ de shí hòu ， tā hái yǐ wéi zì jǐ nòng cuò ， kě yī lián shén shí sǎo le jǐ biàn dōu shì rú jiǎ bāo huàn de dòng xuán 。
最开始的时候，他还以为自己弄错，可一连神识扫了几遍都是如假包换的洞玄。
Could he possibly be from the Spirit Realm?
wèn le liǎng míng dé lì zhù shǒu ， dié mó yǔ yuán mó de huí dá gèng jiāng tā de pàn duàn kěn dìng le ， yīn wèi zhè liǎng míng lí hé chū qī de gǔ mó ， jū rán kàn bù chū nà xiǎo zi de jìng jiè shì shén me ， chú le dòng xuán ， hái néng yǒu gèng hǎo de jiě shì me ？
问了两名得力助手，蝶魔与圆魔的回答更将他的判断肯定了，因为这两名离合初期的古魔，居然看不出那小子的境界是什么，除了洞玄，还能有更好的解释么？
But that explanation didn't hold either. A million years ago, the laws of the universe had changed; high-level cultivators from the Spirit Realm could no longer break through the void and come here.
dàn …… zhè zěn me kě néng ne ？
但……这怎么可能呢？
Shocked, he realized there was nothing to do. The ancient demons knew how terrifying an early-stage Daoist was—though they hadn't encountered one in their realm, they heard tales of their power and strength.
rén jiè zěn me kě néng yǒu dòng xuán jí bié de xiū xiān zhě ， zǎo jiù yīng gāi fēi shēng dào tā men gǔ mó jiè huò zhě líng jiè qù le ， bù kě néng hái zhì liú zài xià wèi jiè miàn de 。
人界怎么可能有洞玄级别的修仙者，早就应该飞升到他们古魔界或者灵界去了，不可能还滞留在下位界面的。
What should he do?
nán dào shuō ， duì fāng shì cóng líng jiè lái de xiū xiān zhě ？
难道说，对方是从灵界来的修仙者？
"Dai Ge, what should we do now?" Di Demonic's voice entered his ears; she looked terrified, her earlier bravado gone.
dàn zhè ge jiě shì yě shuō bù tōng ， zài bǎi wàn nián qián ， tiān dì fǎ zé jiù yǐ jīng shēng le gǎi biàn ， líng jiè de dà néng xiū xiān zhě ， wú fǎ zài pò suì xū kōng ， lái dào zhè xià wèi jiè miàn 。
但这个解释也说不通，在百万年前，天地法则就已经生了改变，灵界的大能修仙者，无法再破碎虚空，来到这下位界面。
"Right, Dai Ge, come up with a plan quickly," Yuan Demonic's voice echoed. The two-headed four-armed ancient demon was in a dilemma.
chú le jīng è ， hái shì jīng è ， dàn hěn kuài ， nà shuāng tóu sì bì de gǔ mó ， jiù xiàn zì jǐ xiǎng zhè xiē gēn běn jiù méi yǒu yì yì ， bù guǎn tā shì rén jiè hái shì líng jiè de xiū xiān zhě ， zǒng zhī shì yī wèi rú jiǎ bāo huàn de dòng xuán qī cún zài 。
除了惊愕，还是惊愕，但很快，那双头四臂的古魔，就现自己想这些根本就没有意义，不管他是人界还是灵界的修仙者，总之是一位如假包换的洞玄期存在。
How could he know what to do?
zì jǐ gāi zěn me bàn ？
自己该怎么办？
Fight? He feared he couldn't win against an early-stage Daoist and lacked the courage to face one. But fleeing would be dishonorable, and Ice Soul Ancestor would surely be furious if he knew.
dòng xuán qī de kě pà ， cǐ mó kě shì liǎo jiě dé qīng qīng chǔ chǔ ， zài gǔ mó jiè de shí hòu ， tā suī rán méi yǒu yù dào guò ， dàn yě yǒu guò tīng shuō ， jué bú shì zì jǐ néng gòu kàng héng de 。
洞玄期的可怕，此魔可是了解得清清楚楚，在古魔界的时候，他虽然没有遇到过，但也有过听说，绝不是自己能够抗衡的。
That person's anger would be too much for him to bear.
gāi zěn me bàn ne ？
该怎么办呢？
Just as he was torn, Lin Xuan's voice entered his ears: "All demons and monsters listen up! If you're wise, surrender yourselves. You'll suffer less that way. Otherwise..."
“ dà gē ， wǒ men xiàn zài yīng gāi rú hé ？” dié mó de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， cǐ nǚ de liǎn shàng mǎn shēn jīng jù zhī sè ， gāng cái de xiāo zhāng yǐ wán quán bú jiàn le 。
“大哥，我们现在应该如何？”蝶魔的声音传入耳朵，此女的脸上满身惊惧之色，刚才的嚣张已完全不见了。
This statement caused a commotion among the demon realm and even human cultivators.
“ shì a ， dà gē ， kuài ná gè zhù yì 。” yuán mó de shēng yīn yě chuán rù ěr lǐ ， nà shuāng tóu sì bì de gǔ mó què wéi nán bù yǐ 。
“是啊，大哥，快拿个注意。”圆魔的声音也传入耳里，那双头四臂的古魔却为难不已。
Although this new cultivator had immense power, his boasts were too grand. There were over 300,000 demons here, not to mention various beasts and demonified cultivators.
tā zěn me zhī dào gāi zěn me bàn ne ？
他怎么知道该怎么办呢？
Even if he was strong, could he really fight a million opponents? This boast was too exaggerated!
dǎ ， tā pà dǎ bù guò ， méi yǒu dǎn zi miàn duì dòng xuán qī xiū xiān zhě ， kě jiù cǐ chè lí yòu bù gān xīn ， bīng pò mó zǔ yí dàn xiǎo de ， kěn dìng huì dà nù guài zuì de 。
打，他怕打不过，没有胆子面对洞玄期修仙者，可就此撤离又不甘心，冰魄魔祖一旦晓得，肯定会大怒怪罪的。
It must be mere posturing!
nà wèi dà rén yí dàn nù ， tā kě shì wàn wàn chī zuì bù qǐ de 。
那位大人一旦怒，他可是万万吃罪不起的。
The Separation期 ancient demons were furious; their natures were notoriously fierce.
zhèng zuǒ yòu wéi nán ， lín xuān de shēng yīn chuán rù le ěr biān ：“ suǒ yǒu de yāo mó tīng le ， rú guǒ shí xiàng de huà ， jiù quán bù zì wǒ le duàn ， nà yàng de huà ， kě yǐ shǎo shòu kǔ chǔ ， fǒu zé ……”
正左右为难，林轩的声音传入了耳边：“所有的妖魔听了，如果识相的话，就全部自我了段，那样的话，可以少受苦楚，否则……”
"Brother, this person is too overbearing. Let's fight him."
cǐ huà yī chū ， bié shuō mó zú ， lián rén lèi xiū shì zhè biān yě huá rán le 。
此话一出，别说魔族，连人类修士这边也哗然了。
Thank you to the Moon盟主 for your generous donation of 10,000 coins. We appreciate your support and will continue to strive for improvement.
suī rán zhè wèi xīn lái de xiū shì shí lì gāo shēn yǐ jí ， dàn zhè hǎi kǒu ， kuā dé wèi miǎn yě tài dà le xiē ， yào zhī dào cǐ dì guāng shì gè zhǒng mó zú ， jiù yǒu sān shí wàn zhī duō ， gèng bú yào shuō gè zhǒng mó shòu yǔ mó huà xiū shì le 。
虽然这位新来的修士实力高深以极，但这海口，夸得未免也太大了些，要知道此地光是各种魔族，就有三十万之多，更不要说各种魔兽与魔化修士了。
Currently ranked ninth in the仙侠分类榜. Fellow Daoists, could we climb a few more spots? Thank you all for your support; please keep the good reviews coming!
duì fāng zài qiáng ， nán dào hái néng yǐ yī dí bǎi wàn ， zhè hǎi kǒu kuā dé tài dà le diǎn ！
对方再强，难道还能以一敌百万，这海口夸得太大了点！

Chapter 2010: Lin Xuan Makes His Grand Appearance
The ancient demon seemed quite smug. "How about that? You've exhausted all your tricks, and now what can you do? If you're wise, surrender and suffer less."
"Never!"
Ying'er was both shocked and angry. She had risked her life, but still fell short by one step. Her heart was filled with sorrow and frustration, yet she would never submit: "Fellow Daoists, there's no other choice now—only to fight to the death! Let's fight these ancient demons.

...
"Fight? What do you have to fight with? Just an early-stage Immortal婴后期 cultivator, this master can send you straight to hell with just one hand. But I won't kill you—I'll capture you alive and turn you into a demon puppet. As the head of Bai Xuan Pavilion, it's bound to be quite entertaining."
Ying'er shivered in fear. The ancient demons were ruthless; not only would she have no chance at survival or death, but this would also deal an incalculable blow to the morale of the entire Twelve Provinces of Tianyun.

Ying'er was in such a state of shock; even the others were trembling and weeping uncontrollably. The morale of Bai Xuan Pavilion plummeted to its lowest point, and it seemed their resistance would collapse completely.
But just as this despair reached its peak, chaos erupted behind the ancient demons. A cold voice echoed: "Turning Ying'er into a puppet? What audacity! You dare bully my servant without asking me first. Just a few Separation期 existences dared to be so arrogant here. I'll make you suffer in life and death."

Four Pavilion Masters of Bai Xuan—Ying'er, Liu Xin, Wu Yun'er, and Ye Ping'er—all froze, their faces filled with shock beyond measure.

Fight? He feared he couldn't win against an early-stage Daoist and lacked the courage to face one. But fleeing would be dishonorable, and Ice Soul Ancestor would surely be furious if he knew.
That person's anger would be too much for him to bear.
Just as he was torn, Lin Xuan's voice entered his ears: "All demons and monsters listen up! If you're wise, surrender yourselves. You'll suffer less that way. Otherwise..."
This statement caused a commotion among the demon realm and even human cultivators.
Although this new cultivator had immense power, his boasts were too grand. There were over 300,000 demons here, not to mention various beasts and demonified cultivators.
Even if he was strong, could he really fight a million opponents? This boast was too exaggerated!
It must be mere posturing!
The Separation期 ancient demons were furious; their natures were notoriously fierce.
"Brother, this person is too overbearing. Let's fight him."
