fàng yǎn wàng qù , kě jiàn yī duì yī duì de gǔ mó xún luó , ér zài zuì zhōng jiān , shì yī zuò jì tán mú yàng de jiàn zhù 。
放眼望去,可见一队一队的古魔巡逻,而在最中间,是一座祭坛模样的建筑。
Looking around, one could see a group of ancient demons patrolling. In the center was a structure resembling an altar.
rán ér yǔ pǔ tōng de jì tán xiāng bǐ , qí jiàn zhù dà dé bù kě sī yì , gāo zú yǒu bǎi zhàng yú , zhōu wéi hái sàn luò zhāo shù qiān gēn dà xiǎo bù yī de shí zhù , quán bù sàn fà zhe yǒu hēi de guāng zé 。
然而与普通的祭坛相比,其建筑大得不可思议,高足有百丈余,周围还散落着数千根大小不一的石柱,全部散发着黝黑的光泽。
However, compared to ordinary altars, this building was incomprehensibly large—over a hundred feet tall—and surrounded by thousands of stone pillars of varying sizes, all emitting a dark luster.
yuǎn yuǎn wàng qù , shén mì ér gǔ piáo , fǎng fú zǔ chéng le mǒu zhǒng guǐ yì de fǎ zhèn shì de 。
远远望去,神秘而古朴,仿佛组成了某种诡异的法阵似的。
From afar, it appeared mysterious and ancient, as if forming some kind of eerie magical array.
ér zài jì tán de dǐ zuò , shì yī dòng dà diàn mú yàng de jiàn zhù , fēng gé cū kuáng gǔ piáo , cǐ shí cǐ kè , lǐ miàn jù jí zhe shí jǐ gè gǔ mó 。
而在祭坛的底座,是一栋大殿模样的建筑,风格粗狂古朴,此时此刻,里面聚集着十几个古魔。
At the base of the altar stood a grand hall. The style was rough and ancient, and inside were gathered about a dozen ancient demons.
rén , sì hū bù suàn tài duō 。
人,似乎不算太多。
The number of people seemed not too many.
jí ér zhè xiē gǔ mó , wú yī bú shì lí hé jí bié de , xíng mào gè bù xiāng tóng , yǒu de zhǎng dé xiàng rén lèi xiū xiān zhě , yǒu de bǐ dì fǔ de è guǐ hái yào chǒu lòu xiōng è 。
集而这些古魔,无一不是离合级别的,形貌各不相同,有的长得像人类修仙者,有的比地府的恶鬼还要丑陋凶恶。
Among these ancient demons, none were below the Reunion Realm. Their appearances varied greatly; some looked like human cultivators, while others were even uglier and more vicious than the evil ghosts from the Netherworld.
rán ér cǐ shí cǐ kè , zhè xiē hào zhàn xiōng hàn de gǔ mó , liǎn shàng què jǐn jiē lù chū jīng huāng zhī sè 。
然而此时此刻,这些好战凶悍的古魔,脸上却尽皆露出惊慌之色。
Yet at this moment, these warlike and fierce ancient demons all showed signs of panic on their faces.
“ mèi dào yǒu , chēng de qíng bào méi cuò ba , wéi gōng yún zhōu sān dà mén pài de wǒ zú jīng ruì , yǐ quán jūn fù mò le , zhè zěn me kě néng ne ?” yī shí jù rén wèng shēng wèng qì de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ , rú shí diāo fǔ zuó de liǎn shàng , mǎn shì bù néng zhì xìn zhī sè 。
“魅道友,称的情报没错吧,围攻云州三大门派的我族精锐,已全军覆没了,这怎么可能呢?”一石巨人瓮声瓮气的声音传入耳朵,如石雕斧琢的脸上,满是不能置信之色。
"Friend Mephisto, is the intelligence correct? The elite forces of our clan that surrounded Cloud State's three major sects have been completely wiped out. How could this be possible?" A deep voice echoed, coming from a stone giant with a face chiseled like a rock, full of disbelief.
“ shì a , sān lù dà jūn , měi yī lù , dōu yǒu shù shí wàn shèng zú , zhè hái bù suàn mó shòu yǔ nà xiē bèi mó huà de xiū xiān zhě , suī shuō yún zhōu sān dà zōng mén , shí lì yě pǒ wèi bù ruò , dàn jué duì méi yǒu bàn fǎ yǔ wǒ men nà me duō shèng zú jīng ruì xiāng kàng héng de , gèng bú yào shuō quán jūn fù mò , zhè jiǎn zhí gēn tiān fāng yè tán chà bu duō 。” lìng yī qīng miàn liáo yá de mó zú yě rú cǐ zhè bān de kāi kǒu le 。
“是啊,三路大军,每一路,都有数十万圣族,这还不算魔兽与那些被魔化的修仙者,虽说云州三大宗门,实力也颇为不弱,但绝对没有办法与我们那么多圣族精锐相抗衡的,更不要说全军覆没,这简直跟天方夜谭差不多。”另一青面獠牙的魔族也如此这般的开口了。
"Yes, each of the three armies had tens of thousands of Holy Clan members, not to mention the魔兽 and those corrupted cultivators. Although the three major sects in Cloud State are quite powerful, they absolutely cannot withstand our numerous elite forces from the Holy Realm. The idea that all were wiped out is as absurd as a fairy tale," another demon with a green face and fangs spoke similarly.
“。 luó , liǎng wèi dào yǒu zhè me shuō , mò fēi yǐ wéi běn gōng shì zài chè huǎng bù chéng ?” yī bù mǎn de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ , rán ér tīng shàng qù , què chōng mǎn le yòu huò , dòng rén xīn pò 。
“。萝,两位道友这么说,莫非以为本宫是在撤谎不成?”一不满的声音传入耳朵,然而听上去,却充满了诱惑,动人心魄。
"Ah, if these two friends say so, do you think this palace is lying?" A displeased voice sounded, but it was filled with allure, captivating one's heart.
mèi mó , gù míng sī yì , qí shì zuì néng gòu dòng yáo rén xīn zhì dì , zhè shì qí tiān fù mì shù , bǐ xiū liàn lèi sì gōng fǎ de rén zú nǚ zǐ yào lì hài dé duō 。
魅魔,顾名思义,其是最能够动摇人心智地,这是其天赋秘术,比修炼类似功法的人族女子要厉害得多。
A Mephisto, as its name suggests, could most easily sway minds. This was part of its innate secret technique, far more powerful than similar techniques practiced by human female cultivators.
yí dàn luò rù qí bù xià de xiàn jǐng , néng gòu shā rén yú wú xíng 。
一旦落入其布下的陷阱,能够杀人于无形。
Once trapped in their trap, they could be killed without a trace.
nà mèi mó cóng biǎo miàn shàng kàn ” yǔ rén zú nǚ xiū yě méi yǒu shén me bù tóng , yī shēn zǐ yī , shēn cái rě huǒ yǐ jí , róng mào yě shuō bù shàng duō me měi lì , rán ér yī yǎn wàng shàng qù ” què fǎng fú chōng mǎn liǎo wú jǐn de mèi lì 。
那魅魔从表面上看”与人族女修也没有什么不同,一身紫衣,身材惹火以极,容貌也说不上多么美丽,然而一眼望上去”却仿佛充满了无尽的魅力。
From the surface, this Mephisto seemed no different from a human female cultivator—wearing purple robes, with an extremely alluring figure and not particularly beautiful features. However, just looking at her, one felt an endless charm.
kàn qí yī fù jiāo jiāo ruò ruò de yàng zi , rán ér nà shí jù rén yǔ qīng miàn liáo yá de gǔ mó , jìng fǎng fú yǒu jǐ fēn hài pà , máng péi xiào zhe kāi kǒu le :“ mèi dào yǒu bú yào shēng qì , wǒ děng qǐ huì bù xiāng xìn chēng , guān jiàn zài yú , zhè jiàn shì qíng , bù lùn cóng nǎ ge jiǎo dù fēn xī ” wèi miǎn dōu tài guò bù kě sī yì , yún zhōu sān pài nǎ lái de nà yàng de shí lì 。”
看其一副娇娇弱弱的样子,然而那石巨人与青面獠牙的古魔,竟仿佛有几分害怕,忙陪笑着开口了:“魅道友不要生气,我等岂会不相信称,关键在于,这件事情,不论从哪个角度分析”未免都太过不可思议,云州三派哪来的那样的实力。”
Despite appearing frail, the stone giant and green-faced ancient demons seemed to be slightly afraid. They hurriedly smiled as they spoke: "Friend Mephisto, don't get angry. We wouldn't doubt your word. The key is that no matter how we analyze this matter, it's too unbelievable. How could the three sects in Cloud State have such power?"
“ àn zhào cháng lǐ shì méi cuò , dàn rú guǒ chū xiàn yī míng dòng xuán qī xiū xiān zhě ……,…” mèi mó lěng lěng de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ , bù guò tīng shàng qù , yī jiù chōng mǎn le yòu huò 。
“按照常理是没错,但如果出现一名洞玄期修仙者……,…”魅魔冷冷的声音传入耳朵,不过听上去,依旧充满了诱惑。
"Indeed, according to common sense, there's nothing wrong with that. But if a Transcendence Realm cultivator appeared…," Mephisto's cold voice echoed, still filled with allure.
“ dòng xuán qī xiū xiān zhě , bù kě néng , zhè lǐ shì rén jiè , zěn me kě néng yǒu nà zhǒng děng jí de xiū shì chū xiàn de ” dòng xuán , hái shǎ hū hū de zhì liú zài zhè yī jiè zuò shén me , zǎo jiù yīng gāi fēi shēng dào líng jiè le 。” yī rén tóu mǎ miàn de gǔ mó rěn bú zhù kāi kǒu le , huà yīn wèi luò , tā de méi tóu yòu zhòu zài yì qǐ le :“ nán dào shì cóng líng jiè xià lái de 。”
“洞玄期修仙者,不可能,这里是人界,怎么可能有那种等级的修士出现的”洞玄,还傻乎乎的滞留在这一界做什么,早就应该飞升到灵界了。”一人头马面的古魔忍不住开口了,话音未落,他的眉头又皱在一起了:“难道是从灵界下来的。”
"A Transcendence Realm cultivator is impossible. This is the human world; how could such an existence appear? A Transcendence Realm cultivator should have long ascended to the Spirit Realm and wouldn't stay here," a demon with the head of a man and body of a horse interjected, his frown deepening as he continued: "Could it be that they came from the Spirit Realm."
“ dào yǒu shuō xiào le , líng jiè tóng yàng shì shàng wèi jiè miàn , shù bǎi wàn nián qián ” tiān dì fǎ zé jiù yǐ rán gǎi biàn , xiǎng yào cóng nà lǐ pò suì xū kōng de nán dù , jué bù bǐ wǒ men cóng shèng jiè xià lái shǎo duō shǎo de , dòng xuán jí cún zài , zěn me kě néng ……””
“道友说笑了,灵界同样是上位界面,数百万年前”天地法则就已然改变,想要从那里破碎虚空的难度,绝不比我们从圣界下来少多少的,洞玄级存在,怎么可能……””
"Friend, you jest. The Spirit Realm is also an upper-level plane; millions of years ago, the laws of nature had already changed. The difficulty to break through the void and come here is no less than ours coming from the Holy Realm. A Transcendence Realm existence…,"
“ hǎo le ” nǐ men dōu bú yào chǎo le , mèi mó shuō dé méi cuò , tā dài huí lái de xiāo xī , běn gōng yǐ jīng hé shí guò , tiě chì mó 、 huà xuè mó 、 hái yǒu shuāng tóu mó què shí quán jūn fù mò ” lián yí gè xìng cún zhě dōu méi yǒu chū xiàn de 。” yī qīng lěng de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ , zhè shì yī zuò zài zuì shàng shǒu de gǔ mó 。
“好了”你们都不要吵了,魅魔说得没错,她带回来的消息,本宫已经核实过,铁翅魔、化血魔、还有双头魔确实全军覆没”连一个幸存者都没有出现的。”一清冷的声音传入耳朵,这是一坐在最上首的古魔。
"Enough! You all stop arguing. Mephisto's words are correct. I have verified her intelligence; Ironwing, Bloodsucker, and Twinhead demons indeed suffered a complete defeat, with not even one survivor." A cold voice sounded from the highest seat. It was an ancient demon.
tā kàn shàng qù , yǔ rén zú shào nǚ bié wú èr zhì , qiě bù guò shí qī bā suì de yàng zi , dǎ bàn gèng shì gǔ guài yǐ jí , kàn shàng qù yǔ dà hù rén jiā de yā huán xiāng sì , róng mào yě shuō bù shàng duō me měi lì , yě jiù yī qīng xiù jiā rén de yàng zi 。
她看上去,与人族少女别无二致,且不过十七八岁的样子,打扮更是古怪以极,看上去与大户人家的丫鬟相似,容貌也说不上多么美丽,也就一清秀佳人的样子。
She looked no different from a human maiden, barely seventeen or eighteen years old, dressed in a strange manner that resembled a servant girl of a wealthy family. Her appearance wasn't particularly beautiful; she just had a refined and pretty look.
zhì yú xiū wèi , gāng mài rù lí hé , zài shí jǐ míng gǔ mó zhōng , gèng tán bù shàng chū zhòng , shèn zhì kě yǐ shuō , shì diàn dǐ , yào zhī dào zhè dà diàn zhōng , guāng shì lí hé hòu qī de gǔ mó , jiù yǒu sān rén zhī duō 。
至于修为,刚迈入离合,在十几名古魔中,更谈不上出众,甚至可以说,是垫底,要知道这大殿中,光是离合后期的古魔,就有三人之多。
As for her cultivation level, she had only just entered the Reunion Realm, not standing out among the dozen ancient demons here. In fact, she could be considered at the bottom. After all, there were three later-stage Reunion Realm ancient demons in this hall.
rán ér qí shēn fèn sì hū fēi tóng xiǎo kě , tā yī kāi kǒu shuō huà , nà xiē gǔ mó jiù quán bù bì kǒu bù yán , shù shǒu ér lì , yuán běn dōu shì xiē jié ào bù xùn de jiā huo , cǐ shí cǐ kè , què dōu lù chū lǎo shí yǐ jí de shén sè 。
然而其身份似乎非同小可,她一开口说话,那些古魔就全部闭口不言,束手而立,原本都是些桀骜不驯的家伙,此时此刻,却都露出老实以极的神色。
However, her identity seemed significant. When she spoke, those ancient demons immediately fell silent and stood respectfully. These usually rebellious creatures now showed extremely humble expressions.
dàn liǎn shàng zhèn jīng de biǎo qíng , què shì zěn me yǎn shì dōu yǎn shì bú zhù , méi yǒu yí gè xìng cún zhě , bǐ sān lù dà jūn quán jūn fù mò , dài lái de zhèn hàn hái yào dà dé duō 。
但脸上震惊的表情,却是怎么掩饰都掩饰不住,没有一个幸存者,比三路大军全军覆没,带来的震撼还要大得多。
But their shocked faces couldn't be hidden. The shock of no survivors was greater than the loss of a hundred thousand Holy Clan elite forces.
“ zhè zěn me kě néng ne , rú cǐ duō shèng zú , jiù suàn shì zhēn chū xiàn le dòng xuán qī xiū xiān zhě , yě bù kě néng yī cì chū shǒu , jiù miè shā dé gān gān jìng jìng le 。”
“这怎么可能呢,如此多圣族,就算是真出现了洞玄期修仙者,也不可能一次出手,就灭杀得干干净净了。”
"How could this be possible? With so many Holy Clan members, even if a Transcendence Realm cultivator appeared, they wouldn't all be wiped out in one strike."
rán ér gǔ mó men yě zhǐ shì xīn zhōng dí gū , tā men gǎn zhì yí mèi mó , dàn jué bù gǎn dé zuì nà zuò zài shàng shǒu de shào nǚ 。
然而古魔们也只是心中嘀咕,他们敢质疑魅魔,但绝不敢得罪那坐在上首的少女。
However, these ancient demons only muttered to themselves. They dared to question Mephisto but would never offend the maiden sitting on the highest seat.
bié kàn qí xiū wèi gāng mài rù lí hé ér yǐ , lái tou què dà dé chū qí 。
别看其修为刚迈入离合而已,来头却大得出奇。
Although her cultivation level was just entering the Reunion Realm, she had a surprisingly significant background—she was the attendant of Ice Soul Demon Ancestor.
nǎi shì bīng pò mó zǔ de shì nǚ 。
乃是冰魄魔祖的侍女。
Even if not an intimate one, she was still a lowly servant. What did it matter? As they say, even a prime minister's door has officials of seventh rank. This saying held true in the cultivation world; even as a mere servant, she was still the attendant of Ice Soul Demon Ancestor—something these Reunion Realm ancient demons couldn't afford to offend.
suī rán bìng bú shì tiē shēn hěn qīn jìn de nà zhǒng , zhǐ shì yī sǎ shuǐ jiāo huā de cū shǐ yā tou , dàn nà yòu rú hé , sú huà shuō zǎi xiàng mén qián qī pǐn guān , zhè jù huà , fàng zài xiū xiān jiè , nà yě shì yī yàng shì yòng dì , jiù suàn zhǐ shì cū shǐ yā tou , zǒng yě shì bīng pò mó zǔ de shì nǚ , nǎ shì tā men zhè xiē lí hé qī de gǔ mó , kě yǐ dé zuì dì 。
虽然并不是贴身很亲近的那种,只是一洒水浇huā的粗使丫头,但那又如何,俗话说宰相门前七品官,这句话,放在修仙界,那也是一样适用地,就算只是粗使丫头,总也是冰魄魔祖的侍女,哪是他们这些离合期的古魔,可以得罪地。
"I don't know the exact situation, but the opponent shouldn't be an ordinary Transcendence Realm cultivator," the maiden said slowly.
“ jù tǐ qíng jǐng wǒ yě bù xiǎo de , bù guò duì fāng yīng gāi bú shì pǔ tōng de dòng xuán qī xiū xiān zhě 。” nà yā huán mú yàng de shào nǚ huǎn huǎn de shuō 。
“具体情景我也不晓得,不过对方应该不是普通的洞玄期修仙者。”那丫鬟模样的少女缓缓的说。
The other ancient demons looked at each other in confusion. After a moment, Mephisto resumed speaking: "Lady Qiao Yun, what should we do? Although losing over a hundred thousand Holy Clan elite forces isn't much, a Transcendence Realm cultivator is beyond our capabilities. With such an existence here, it will be difficult for us to conquer the Twelve States of Heaven and Cloud."
ér xià miàn de gǔ mó zé miàn miàn xiāng qù qǐ lái le 。
而下面的古魔则面面相觑起来了。
"Yes!"
guò le piàn kè , cái yóu nà mèi mó chóng xīn kāi kǒu le :“ qiǎo yún dà rén , nà wǒ men yīng gāi rú hé , suī shuō sǔn shī shàng bǎi wàn shèng zú jīng ruì bù suàn shén me , dàn dòng xuán qī xiū xiān zhě , kě bú shì wǒ men néng gòu yìng fù , yóu qí zuò zhèn cǐ chù , wǒ men xiǎng yào zhàn lǐng tiān yún shí èr zhōu , kǒng pà nán le 。”
过了片刻,才由那魅魔重新开口了:“巧芸大人,那我们应该如何,虽说损失上百万圣族精锐不算什么,但洞玄期修仙者,可不是我们能够应付,由其坐镇此处,我们想要占领天云十二州,恐怕难了。”
The other ancient demons echoed in agreement. They all knew how terrifying a Transcendence Realm existence was; they couldn't handle it. Just thinking about facing such an entity made their hearts tremble.
“ shì a !”
“是啊!”
Ancient demons were indeed warlike, but that depended on their opponent. After all, they weren't fools; who would willingly sacrifice themselves?
qí tā de gǔ mó yě suí shēng fù hè , dòng xuán qī cún zài yǒu duō kě pà , tā men quán dōu xīn lǐ yǒu shù , nà jué bú shì zì jǐ néng gòu duì fù , yī xiǎng dào yào miàn duì nà zhǒng děng jí de cún zài , tā men de xīn lǐ , quán dōu kāi shǐ dǎ chù 。
其他的古魔也随声附和,洞玄期存在有多可怕,他们全都心里有数,那绝不是自己能够对付,一想到要面对那种等级的存在,他们的心里,全都开始打怵。
"Hmph, don't panic. A Transcendence Realm cultivator? My miss will naturally deal with them. When the time comes, it won't be any different from clay figures and paper dolls. Can they overturn heaven?" The maiden seemed extremely calm, her voice filled with disdain.
gǔ mó shì hào zhàn méi cuò , dàn yě yào kàn duì shǒu , bì jìng tā men yòu bù shǎ , shuí yuàn yì bái bái sòng sǐ a !
古魔是好战没错,但也要看对手,毕竟他们又不傻,谁愿意白白送死啊!
"What?"
“ hēng , huāng shén me , dòng xuán qī xiū shì yòu rú hé , zì rán huì yǒu wǒ jiā xiǎo jiě duì fù , dào shí hòu , hái bú shì ní niē zhǐ hú , nán dào hái néng fān dé le tiān bù chéng me ?” nà shào nǚ dǎo shì xiǎn de zhèn dìng yǐ jí , yǒu xiē bù xiè de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ lǐ 。
“哼,慌什么,洞玄期修士又如何,自然会有我家小姐对付,到时候,还不是泥捏纸糊,难道还能翻得了天不成么?”那少女倒是显得镇定以极,有些不屑的声音传入耳朵里。
The demons below were shocked, their faces showing a mix of surprise and joy.
“ shén me ?”
“什么?”
"Lady Qiao Yun, what did you say? Will Ice Soul Holy Ancestor descend to this realm?"
xià miàn de mó zú dà jīng shī sè , yí gè gè dōu lù chū yòu jīng yòu xǐ de biǎo qíng lái le 。
下面的魔族大惊失色,一个个都露出又惊又喜的表情来了。
"Hmph, given my miss's status, it's impossible for the main body to come here. After all, how could she trouble herself with such a lowly human world? As one of the nine True Demon Primordial Ancestors, if she breaks through the laws of nature and forcefully descends here, the old monsters in the Spirit Realm and Netherworld will surely suspect something and interfere. This would be extremely detrimental to our mission,"!~!
Looking around, one could see a group of ancient demons patrolling. In the center was a structure resembling an altar.
However, compared to ordinary altars, this building was incomprehensibly large—over a hundred feet tall—and surrounded by thousands of stone pillars of varying sizes, all emitting a dark luster.
From afar, it appeared mysterious and ancient, as if forming some kind of eerie magical array.
At the base of the altar stood a grand hall. The style was rough and ancient, and inside were gathered about a dozen ancient demons.
