bsp; “这……不太好说，不过我的几缕魔念，乃是被同一人灭除，这一点却是可以确定无疑的。”那混沌中的声音迟疑片刻，才缓缓的开口。
"Um, it's hard to say, but the few strands of my demonic thoughts were all eliminated by the same person. This much is certain," the voice from the chaos hesitated for a moment before speaking slowly.
“ zhǐ yǒu yī rén chū shǒu ， kàn lái zhè yī cì yùn qì hái zhēn gòu bèi de ， duō bàn shì jīng dòng le dù jié jí bié de lǎo guài wù ， fǒu zé mó niàn duì wǒ děng lái shuō ， suī suàn bù shàng shén me liǎo bù qǐ de shì wù ， dàn jǐ gǔ hé lì ， yě bú shì pǔ tōng de xiū shì néng gòu yìng fù 。” nà gǔ piáo de shēng yīn tàn xī zhe kāi kǒu le ：“ dù jié jí bié de cún zài ， yí gè gè dōu shì lǎo jiān jù huá zhī tú ， nǐ de mó niàn jì rán yǐ bèi kàn pò ， nà jiè miàn tōng dào duō bàn yě nán yǐ xìng miǎn le 。”
“只有一人出手，看来这一次运气还真够背的，多半是惊动了渡劫级别的老怪物，否则魔念对我等来说，虽算不上什么了不起的事物，但几股合力，也不是普通的修士能够应付。”那古朴的声音叹息着开口了：“渡劫级别的存在，一个个都是老jiān巨猾之徒，你的魔念既然已被看破，那界面通道多半也难以幸免了。”
"Only one person acted. It seems our luck has truly run out this time; most likely, we've disturbed an old monster at the Tribulation Transcendence level. Otherwise, while demonic thoughts aren't something extraordinary to us, several combined forces wouldn't be easily handled by ordinary cultivators," the ancient voice sighed.
“ xū wú ， nǐ shì bú shì yě tài bù xiǎo xīn le ， yào zhī dào wǒ děng yù wài tiān mó suǒ zài de jiè miàn ， yǔ qí tā dì diǎn bù tóng ， xiǎng yào dào dá líng jiè ， xū fèi jǐn qiān xīn wàn kǔ ， zhè yī cì ， wǒ děng lì jīng bō zhé ， hǎo bù róng yì cái jiāng jiè miàn tōng dào kāi qǐ ， zhǐ xū yào péi yù qiān nián ， jiù kě yǐ zhēn zhèng gōu tōng líng jiè ， ràng wǒ děng jiàng lín guò qù le ， què yīn wèi nǐ de yì shí shū hū dà yì ， ràng wǒ děng de nǔ lì ， fù zhū liú shuǐ ……”
“虚无，你是不是也太不小心了，要知道我等域外天魔所在的界面，与其他地点不同，想要到达灵界，需费尽千辛万苦，这一次，我等历经波折，好不容易才将界面通道开启，只需要培育千年，就可以真正沟通灵界，让我等降临过去了，却因为你的一时疏忽大意，让我等的努力，付诸流水……”
"Void, are you too careless? You know, our domain's interface is different from other locations; reaching the Spirit Realm requires immense effort and hardship. This time, after much trouble, we finally opened this interface channel, which would take a thousand years to truly connect with the Spirit Realm, allowing us to descend. But because of your momentary carelessness, all our efforts have been in vain..."
nà kōng líng de shēng yīn zài cì chuán rù ěr duǒ ， bù guò zhè yī cì ， què dài zhe jǐ fēn nù sè， xiǎn rán qí zhǔ rén shì yǒu xīng shī wèn zuì de yì tú 。
那空灵的声音再次传入耳朵，不过这一次，却带着几分怒sè，显然其主人是有兴师问罪的意图。
The ethereal voice echoed again but now carried an angry tone, clearly indicating its owner's intention to hold it accountable.
“ hēng ， zhè zěn me néng guài wǒ ， dāng chū ， ràng běn mó jūn fàng chū gé kōng mó niàn qián qù tàn lù ， suī shì wǒ zhǔ dòng tí chū ， dàn ěr děng kě yě fēn háo yì yì yě wú ， rú jīn chú le chā cuò ， zì rán gāi yóu wǒ děng yì qǐ lái chéng shòu zhè ge jié guǒ ， zěn me néng gòu guài wǒ ……” nà xū wú mó jūn de shēng yīn xiǎn de shí fēn nǎo nù 。
“哼，这怎么能怪我，当初，让本魔君放出隔空魔念前去探路，虽是我主动提出，但尔等可也分毫异议也无，如今除了差错，自然该由我等一起来承受这个结果，怎么能够怪我……”那虚无魔君的声音显得十分恼怒。
"Hmph, how can this be my fault? I had you release a distant demonic thought to scout the path; though I initiated it, none of you raised any objections. Now that we've made a mistake, naturally, all of us should bear the consequences—how could it be my fault?" the Void Monarch's voice sounded extremely irked.
“ huà shì zhè me shuō ， zǒng zhī yě shì nǐ cū xīn dà yì de jié guǒ ， fǒu zé nǎ ér yǒu nà me qiǎo hé ， líng jiè de dù jié qī cún zài cái jǐ gè ， nǐ de mó niàn yī chū qù jiù pèng jiàn le ？” nà kōng líng de shēng yīn bù yǐ wéi rán de shuō 。
“话是这么说，总之也是你粗心大意的结果，否则哪儿有那么巧合，灵界的渡劫期存在才几个，你的魔念一出去就碰见了？”那空灵的声音不以为然的说。
"While that may be true, in the end, this is still your carelessness. How can there be such a coincidence? There aren't many Tribulation Transcendence beings in the Spirit Realm; you just happened to encounter one right away," the ethereal voice said dismissively.
“ hǎo le ， xiàn zài chǎo zhè xiē sī háo yì yì yě wú ， dāng wù zhī jí ， bú shì zhēng lùn shuí duì shuí cuò ， xū wú ， wǒ lái wèn nǐ ， nǐ gāng gāng yǒu yī lǚ cán niàn huí dào le cǐ dì 。 kě wèi wǒ men dài lái shén me yǒu yòng de xiāo xī ？” nà gǔ piáo de shēng yīn huǎn huǎn chuán rù ěr duǒ 。 lìng wài liǎng wèi mó jūn guǒ rán bù zài duō shuō ， xiǎn rán duì gǔ piáo shēng yīn de zhǔ rén pǒ yǒu jì dàn zhī chù 。
“好了，现在吵这些丝毫异议也无，当务之急，不是争论谁对谁错，虚无，我来问你，你刚刚有一缕残念回到了此地。可为我们带来什么有用的消息？”那古朴的声音缓缓传入耳朵。另外两位魔君果然不再多说，显然对古朴声音的主人颇有忌惮之处。
"Enough of these arguments. The pressing issue now isn't debating who's at fault. Void, tell me: did that last strand of your consciousness bring us any useful information?" the ancient voice continued.
“ dào yǒu zhè me yī shuō ， nà lǚ cán niàn hái zhēn dài huí lái yī shí fēn yǒu yòng de xiàn suǒ ， cǐ xiāo xī de jià zhí ， shèn zhì zú yǐ mí bǔ jiè miàn tōng dào bèi huǐ de sǔn shī 。” nà hùn dùn de shēng yīn xiǎn chū jǐ fēn zì dé ， xiān qián de yù mèn ， sì hū yǐ yī sǎo ér kōng 。
“道友这么一说，那缕残念还真带回来一十分有用的线索，此消息的价值，甚至足以弥补界面通道被毁的损失。”那混沌的声音显出几分自得，先前的郁闷，似乎已一扫而空。
The other two demon lords remained silent, clearly intimidated by the ancient voice's owner.
“ xū wú 。 nǐ suǒ shuō shì zhēn shì jiǎ ， gāi bú huì shì zài hú chuī dà qì ba ？” nà kōng líng shēng yīn de zhǔ rén míng xiǎn liú lù chū jǐ fēn bù xìn zhī sè， tā men wèi zhè jiè miàn tōng dào fù chū de nǔ lì kě shì fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， shén me xiāo xī de jià zhí zú yǐ mí bǔ ：“ nán dào yǔ ā xiū luó wáng yǒu guān xì me ？”
“虚无。你所说是真是假，该不会是在胡吹大气吧？”那空灵声音的主人明显流露出几分不信之sè，他们为这界面通道付出的努力可是非同小可，什么消息的价值足以弥补：“难道与阿修罗王有关系么？”
"That friend, you're right; that stray thought really brought back valuable clues. The value of this news alone could compensate for the loss of the interface channel," the chaotic voice sounded pleased, as if all its previous gloom had vanished.
“ hēng ， ā xiū luó wáng suī rán fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， dàn cǐ xiāo xī de jià zhí 。 hái yào dà shàng xǔ duō ， shì yǔ lán sè xīng hǎi yǒu guān de 。”
“哼，阿修罗王虽然非同小可，但此消息的价值。还要大上许多，是与蓝sè星海有关的。”
"Void, is what you say true? Are you just blowing hot air?" the ethereal voice's owner clearly showed disbelief. Their efforts to open the interface were significant; what clues' value could make up for that?
“ shén me ， lán sè xīng hǎi ， bú huì ba ， nà bǎo wù yǐ jīng xiàn shì le ma ？”
“什么，蓝sè星海，不会吧，那宝物已经现世了吗？”
"Could it be related to the Arhath King?" the ethereal voice asked doubtfully.
“ jū rán yǒu rú cǐ hǎo yùn qì ， nǐ de gé kōng mó niàn gāng dào dá líng jiè ， jiù néng dé dào yǔ lán sè xīng hǎi yǒu guān de xiāo xī ？”
“居然有如此好运气，你的隔空魔念刚到达灵界，就能得到与蓝sè星海有关的消息？”
"Hmph, while the Arhath King is formidable, this news has even greater value—it’s about the Blue Star Sea."
“ zhēn de jiǎ de ？”
“真的假的？”
"What? The Blue Star Sea? Is it really here?"
zhè yī cì ， tā de jǐ míng tóng bàn míng xiǎn shì bù xìn le 。
这一次，他的几名同伴明显是不信了。
"How lucky! Your distant demonic thought just reached the Spirit Realm and received information related to the Blue Star Sea?"
biàn shì nà gǔ piáo de shēng yīn 。 yě yǒu xiē chóu chú 。 sì hū jué de zhè yàng de qiǎo hé ， bù lùn cóng nǎ ge jiǎo dù 。 wèi miǎn dōu tài nì tiān le 。
便是那古朴的声音。也有些踌躇。似乎觉得这样的巧合，不论从哪个角度。未免都太逆天了。
"Is that true or not?"
“ hēng ， zhè yàng de dà shì ， běn mó jūn yòu zěn me huì hú yán luàn yǔ ， què shí shì wǒ nà lǚ cán niàn dài huí lái de xiāo xī ， lán sè xīng hǎi bù jǐn xiàn shì ， ér qiě hái bèi rén shōu fú ， rú jīn tā de zhǔ rén ， jiù shì jiāng wǒ de mó niàn miè chú de nà míng xiū xiān zhě 。” shuō dào zhè lǐ ， xū wú mó jūn yòu yǒu xiē yǎo yá qiè chǐ le 。
“哼，这样的大事，本魔君又怎么会胡言乱语，确实是我那缕残念带回来的消息，蓝sè星海不仅现世，而且还被人收服，如今它的主人，就是将我的魔念灭除的那名修仙者。”说到这里，虚无魔君又有些咬牙切齿了。
His companions clearly didn't believe him. Even the ancient voice seemed hesitant, as if such a coincidence was too outlandish.
“ ó ， shì shàng hái zhēn yǒu rú cǐ qiǎo hé ？”
“哦，世上还真有如此巧合？”
"Hmph, I wouldn’t speak nonsense about such important matters; indeed, my stray thought brought back this news. The Blue Star Sea is not only present but also tamed by someone who eliminated my demonic thoughts," the Void Monarch said with a gritted teeth.
duì fāng shuō dé zhè me xiáng xì ， xiǎn rán bú shì zài hú chuī dà qì 。
对方说得这么详细，显然不是在胡吹大气。
"Oh, there really are such coincidences?"
“ lán sè xīng hǎi ， zhè guǒ rán shì kān yǔ jiè miàn tōng dào pì měi de xiāo xī ， zhǐ shì méi xiǎng dào ， huì luò zài dù jié qī xiū shì de shǒu lǐ 。”
“蓝sè星海，这果然是堪与界面通道媲美的消息，只是没想到，会落在渡劫期修士的手里。”
The detailed explanation suggested they weren't just boasting.
“ hēng ， dù jié qī cún zài yòu rú hé ， dāng chū zhēn xiān bù yě bèi wǒ men wán nòng yú gǔ zhǎng zhī shàng ， duì fāng zhǐ yào bú shì dù jié hòu qī de lǎo guài wù ， shí lì kān bǐ sàn xiān yāo wáng de qiáng zhě ， qí yú de ， nǎ pà shì dù jié qī lǎo zǔ ， zài wǒ men miàn qián ， bù yě tóng yàng shì lóu yǐ bà le 。”
“哼，渡劫期存在又如何，当初真仙不也被我们玩弄于鼓掌之上，对方只要不是渡劫后期的老怪物，实力堪比散仙妖王的强者，其余的，哪怕是渡劫期老祖，在我们面前，不也同样是蝼蚁罢了。”
"The Blue Star Sea; this truly rivals the interface channel in value. I never expected it to fall into the hands of a Tribulation Transcendence cultivator."
“ huà shì zhè me shuō ， zǒng yào duō fèi xǔ duō bō zhé 。”
“话是这么说，总要多费许多波折。”
"Hmph, what if? Back then, even True Immortals were at our mercy. As long as he's not an old monster at late Tribulation Transcendence level, any powerhouse comparable to a Dispersed Immortal or Demon King can be insignificant in front of us."
“ xiàn zài xiān bié shuō nà me duō ， dāng wù zhī jí ， shì gǎn kuài jiāng jiè miàn tōng dào xiū fù 。”
“现在先别说那么多，当务之急，是赶快将界面通道修复。”
"While that may be true, it will still require much effort."
“ bù cuò ， dàn yuàn nà xiǎo zi mìng zhǎng yì diǎn ， qiān wàn bié zài wǒ men jiàng lín yǐ qián ， jiù xiān yǔn luò zài qí tā xiū shì de shǒu zhōng ……”
“不错，但愿那小子命长一点，千万别在我们降临以前，就先陨落在其他修士的手中……”
"Now, let’s not talk about this for now; the pressing issue is to quickly repair the interface channel."
yòu yǒu jǐ gè mò shēng de shēng yīn jiā rù jìn lái ， yí gè gè ， xiǎn rán dōu xiǎng yào dé dào lán sè xīng hǎi 。
又有几个陌生的声音加入进来，一个个，显然都想要得到蓝sè星海。
"Agreed. Hopefully, the boy lives long enough so he doesn’t fall into other cultivators' hands before we arrive..."
ér tā men de huà yīn zhōng ， hái qiān chě dào shàng gǔ yǐn mì ， sì hū zhēn xiān dōu céng zhōng le tā men de guǐ jì 。
而他们的话音中，还牵扯到上古隐秘，似乎真仙都曾中了他们的诡计。
More unfamiliar voices joined in, each wanting a share of the Blue Star Sea.
tīng shàng qù lí pǔ ， dàn chuán shuō zhōng ， zuì dǐng jí de yù wài tiān mó ， què shí yǒu kě néng jiāng zhēn xiān mí huò 。
听上去离谱，但传说中，最顶级的域外天魔，确实有可能将真仙迷惑。
Their words hinted at ancient secrets, suggesting even True Immortals had fallen prey to their schemes.
shàng gǔ shí dài ， jiū jìng fā shēng guò shén me ？
上古时代，究竟发生过什么？
It sounded far-fetched, but legends spoke oftop-tier external heavenly demon indeed having the ability to deceive True Immortals.
shuí yě bù xiǎo de ， hěn kuài ， suǒ yǒu de shēng yīn dōu chén jì xià qù le ， fǎng fú shén me dōu méi yǒu fā shēng guò 。
谁也不晓得，很快，所有的声音都沉寂下去了，仿佛什么都没有发生过。
What happened in ancient times?
……
……
No one knew. Soon, all voices fell silent as if nothing had happened.
ér zhè yī qiè ， lín xuān bìng bù xiǎo de ， rú jīn tā yǐ jīng huí dào le yè jiā zǒng duò 。
而这一切，林轩并不晓得，如今他已经回到了叶家总舵。
...
cǐ xíng de mù dì jì yǐ dá dào ， lín xuān zì rán bù zhǔn bèi zài qīng xiá shān zhì liú xià qù le 。
此行的目的既已达到，林轩自然不准备在青霞山滞留下去了。
All this was unknown to Lin Xuan; he had returned to the Ye Family's main stronghold.
bài bié yè jiā ， lín xuān dài zhe liǎng gè yā tou shàng lù ， tā fàng chū yī sōu huà fǎng ， yòng qí dài bù 。
拜别叶家，林轩带着两个丫头上路，他放出一艘画舫，用其代步。
Having achieved his purpose, Lin Xuan naturally didn't intend to linger on Qingxia Mountain any longer.
yǔ lái shí xiāng bǐ ， zhè yī lù ， dàng zhēn shì shùn lì yǐ jí ， méi yǒu yù jiàn rèn hé bō zhé 。
与来时相比，这一路，当真是顺利以极，没有遇见任何波折。
Bidding farewell to the Ye Family, Lin Xuan set off with two maids. He summoned a pleasure boat to use as transportation.
jiù zhè yàng ， sān gè yuè hòu ， lín xuān chóng xīn jiē jìn le yún yǐn zōng zǒng duò 。
就这样，三个月后，林轩重新接近了云隐宗总舵。
This journey was much smoother than before; he encountered no disturbances.
yī qiè rú gù ， lín xuān zuǐ jiǎo biān liú lù chū yī sī xiào róng ， zài chǔ lǐ wán yī xiē shì wù ， zì jǐ jiù kě yǐ qù yīn sī jiè xún zhǎo yuè ér le 。
一切如故，林轩嘴角边流露出一丝笑容，再处理完一些事物，自己就可以去yīn司界寻找月儿了。
Three months later, Lin Xuan approached the main stronghold of Cloud Concealing Sect once more.
niàn jí zhì cǐ ， lín xuān zuǐ jiǎo biān liú lù chū yī sī xiào yì ， zhàn zài chuán shǒu ， wàng zhe yuǎn chù de tiān jì 。
念及至此，林轩嘴角边流露出一丝笑意，站在船首，望着远处的天际。
Everything remained unchanged. A smile played on his lips. After settling some matters, he could head to Yinshi Realm to find Yue'er.
zhè lǐ jù lí yún yǐn zōng zǒng duò ， bù guò shù wàn lǐ 。
这里距离云隐宗总舵，不过数万里。
Thinking this, a smile appeared on his face as he stood at the bow of the boat, gazing into the distance.
tū rán ， lín xuān méi tóu yī tiāo ， yuán běn píng jìng de tiān sè， zhòu rán yīn chén le xià lái 。
突然，林轩眉头一挑，原本平静的天sè，骤然yīn沉了下来。
The distance from the main stronghold was only several ten thousand miles.
tài yáng méi yǒu là xià shān pō ， tiān sè què mò míng qí miào de huì àn qǐ lái le ， kuáng fēng nù xiào ， gē liǎn rú dāo 。
太阳没有落下山坡，天sè却莫名其妙的晦暗起来了，狂风怒啸，割脸如刀。
Suddenly, Lin Xuan's brow furrowed. The originally calm sky darkened abruptly.
hōng ！
轰！
The sun hadn't set yet, but the sky inexplicably turned gloomy. Violent winds howled, cutting like knives.
yī shēng jù xiǎng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， lín xuān tái qǐ tóu lú ， zhǐ jiàn yuǎn fāng tiān jì de wū yún zhōng ， jìng shì yǒu yín shé luàn wǔ ， bù jǐn rú cǐ ， fāng yuán wàn lǐ nèi de ， tiān dì yuán qì ， jìng yě biàn dé hùn luàn dào le jí chù 。
一声巨响传入耳朵，林轩抬起头颅，只见远方天际的乌云中，竟似有银蛇乱舞，不仅如此，方圆万里内的，天地元气，竟也变得混乱到了极处。
Boom!
“ zhè shì ……”
“这是……”
A loud noise echoed in his ears. Looking up, Lin Xuan saw silver snakes dancing amidst the clouds on the horizon. Moreover, within a ten-thousand-mile radius, the primordial energy of heaven and earth became chaotic to an extreme.
lín xuān méi tóu wēi zhòu ， fǎng fú xiǎng dào le shén me ， zhǐ jiàn fēng bào de zhōng xīn ， zhèng shì yún yǐn zōng zǒng duò ， nǎ ér de yì xiàng ， yào bǐ zhè lǐ kě pà xǔ duō 。
林轩眉头微皱，仿佛想到了什么，只见风暴的中心，正是云隐宗总舵，哪儿的异象，要比这里可怕许多。
"What is this..."
“ shī fù ， fā shēng shén me le ？”
“师傅，发生什么了？”
Lin Xuan frowned, as if something clicked in his mind. The center of the storm was precisely at the main stronghold of Cloud Concealing Sect; the anomalies there were much more terrifying than here.
“ fēng yún jiāo jiā ， léi tíng dà zuò ， gāi bú huì yǒu rén zài gōng jī yún yǐn zōng zǒng duò 。”
“风云交加，雷霆大做，该不会有人在攻击云隐宗总舵。”
"Master, what's happening?"
qīng róu de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， dài zhe jǐ fēn yà rán zhī sè， bù zhī hé shì ， yè yǐng yǔ zhèng xuán yǐ lái dào shēn cè ， liǎng gè yā tou de liǎn shàng ， dōu lù chū shí fēn jīng yà de shén sè。
轻柔的声音传入耳朵，带着几分讶然之sè，不知合适，叶颖与郑璇已来到身侧，两个丫头的脸上，都露出十分惊讶的神sè。
"There are storms and thunderbolts everywhere. Could someone be attacking the main stronghold of Cloud Concealing Sect?"
yún yǐn zōng rú jīn kě shì nài lóng jiè pái míng dì yī de shì lì ， lián jiàn hú gōng dōu yǐ jīng chéng fǔ ， hái yǒu shuí gǎn qù luō hǔ xū me ， nán dào shì zhī dào shī zūn bù zài ， suǒ yǐ xiǎng yào chèn xū ér rù 。
云隐宗如今可是鼐龙界排名第一的势力，连剑湖宫都已经城府，还有谁敢去捋虎须么，难道是知道师尊不在，所以想要趁虚而入。
A gentle voice entered his ears with a hint of surprise. Ye Ying and Zheng Xuan had already arrived beside him; both maids looked extremely surprised.
liǎng gè yā tou xiǎng le hěn duō ， lín xuān zuǐ jiǎo biān què lù chū yī sī xiào róng ：“ hú sī luàn xiǎng shén me ， yún yǐn zōng bìng méi yǒu yù jiàn wēi xiǎn ， yǎn qián de yí mù ， kě shì yǒu tiān dà de jī yuán 。”
两个丫头想了很多，林轩嘴角边却露出一丝笑容：“胡思乱想什么，云隐宗并没有遇见危险，眼前的一幕，可是有天大的机缘。”
Cloud Concealing Sect was now the top force in Nael Dragon Realm, even Sword Lake Palace was cautious. Who would dare provoke such power? Could it be that they thought Master wasn't here and wanted to take advantage of the situation?

The two maids pondered this, but Lin Xuan smiled: "Stop speculating; Cloud Concealing Sect isn’t in danger. The scene before us is a great opportunity."

The sun hadn't set yet, but the sky inexplicably turned gloomy. Violent winds howled, cutting like knives.
Boom!
A loud noise echoed in his ears. Looking up, Lin Xuan saw silver snakes dancing amidst the clouds on the horizon. Moreover, within a ten-thousand-mile radius, the primordial energy of heaven and earth became chaotic to an extreme.
"What is this..."
Lin Xuan frowned, as if something clicked in his mind. The center of the storm was precisely at the main stronghold of Cloud Concealing Sect; the anomalies there were much more terrifying than here.
"Master, what's happening?"
"There are storms and thunderbolts everywhere. Could someone be attacking the main stronghold of Cloud Concealing Sect?"
A gentle voice entered his ears with a hint of surprise. Ye Ying and Zheng Xuan had already arrived beside him; both maids looked extremely surprised.
Cloud Concealing Sect was now the top force in Nael Dragon Realm, even Sword Lake Palace was cautious. Who would dare provoke such power? Could it be that they thought Master wasn't here and wanted to take advantage of the situation?
The two maids pondered this, but Lin Xuan smiled: "Stop speculating; Cloud Concealing Sect isn’t in danger. The scene before us is a great opportunity."
