..bsp; wǔ rén lián shǒu ， yǐ jīng shì hài sú ， kě tā men de dí rén gèng lí pǔ ， jū rán shì dù jié jí bié de lǎo guài wù 。
..bsp;五人联手，已惊世骇俗，可他们的敌人更离谱，居然是渡劫级别的老怪物。
Five individuals working together had already caused a sensation, but their enemy was even more outrageous—a veteran powerhouse at the Transcending Tribulation stage.
nà shì yī hún shēn bèi yīn fēng hēi qì bāo guǒ de rén wù ， miàn mù gēn běn jiù kàn bù qīng chǔ ， dàn xiū wèi jué duì shì dù jié qī wú yí 。
那是一浑身被阴风黑气包裹的人物，面目根本就看不清楚，但修为绝对是渡劫期无疑。
That figure was enveloped in dark black aura and阴风, making his face completely indiscernible. However, his cultivation level was undoubtedly at the Transcending Tribulation stage.
lín xuān tóng kǒng wēi suō ， suī rán yīn sī jiè gāo shǒu wú shù ， dàn tā yě bù céng xiǎng ， yī chū mén jiù yù jiàn dù jié jí bié de cún zài le 。
林轩瞳孔微缩，虽然阴司界高手无数，但他也不曾想，一出门就遇见渡劫级别的存在了。
Lin Xuan's pupils constricted slightly. Although there were countless experts in the Netherworld Realm, he hadn't expected to encounter a Transcending Tribulation existence just by stepping out of his door.
zì jǐ de yùn qì ， shì bú shì tài zāo gāo le 。
自己的运气，是不是太糟糕了。
Was my luck really this bad?
lín xuān yǒu xiē àn cháo de xiǎng zhe ， dàn tā yě bìng wú jù yì ， bì jìng lín xuān zì jǐ yě shì dù jié qī 。
林轩有些暗嘲的想着，但他也并无惧意，毕竟林轩自己也是渡劫期。
Lin Xuan couldn't help but mock himself inwardly, but he was not afraid either. After all, Lin Xuan himself was also at the Transcending Tribulation stage. He had already eliminated several people in the same rank long ago; as long as it wasn’t a late-stage veteran, there was no need to be overly fearful.
tóng jiē cún zài ， lín xuān zǎo yǐ miè le shù rén zhī duō ， zhǐ yào bú shì yù jiàn hòu qī de lǎo guài wù ， gēn běn jiù bù yòng dān xīn hài pà shén me 。
同阶存在，林轩早已灭了数人之多，只要不是遇见后期的老怪物，根本就不用担心害怕什么。
Moreover, misfortunes often bring good fortune. Encountering such an existence right after stepping out might actually increase his chances of finding Mo'er’s whereabouts.
hé kuàng fú xī huò suǒ yī ， huò xī fú suǒ fú ， yī chū mén jiù yù jiàn zhè zhǒng děng jí de cún zài ， shuō bù dìng gèng yǒu xī wàng dǎ tàn dào yuè ér de xià luò 。
何况福兮祸所依，祸兮福所伏，一出门就遇见这种等级的存在，说不定更有希望打探到月儿的下落。
With these thoughts swirling in his mind, Lin Xuan couldn't help but brighten up.
nǎo hǎi zhōng niàn tou zhuǎn guò ， lín xuān bù yóu de liǎng yǎn fàng guāng le 。
脑海中念头转过，林轩不由得两眼放光了。
Thus, he held his breath and focused intently to try and gather any useful information.
yú shì bǐng qì níng xī ， kàn néng bù néng tàn tīng dào shén me yǒu yòng de xiāo xī 。
于是屏气凝息，看能不能探听到什么有用的消息。
Lin Xuan was not afraid of being exposed. He had great confidence in his ability to conceal his presence; the likelihood that his opponent could discern it was extremely low.
lín xuān dào bù hài pà shēn xíng bào lù ， duì yú liǎn qì yǐn nì zhī shù ， tā xìn xīn shí zú ， duì fāng xiǎng yào jiāng tā de xíng cáng kàn pò ， kě néng xìng tài dī le 。
林轩倒不害怕身形暴露，对于敛气隐匿之术，他信心十足，对方想要将他的行藏看破，可能性太低了。
Sure enough, before this thought even fully formed, one of the five Spirit-Scattering Realm existences—a young woman—spoke up.
guǒ rán ， zhè ge niàn tou shàng wèi zhuǎn guò ， nà wǔ míng fèn shén qī cún zài zhōng de yī míng shào nǚ jiù kāi kǒu le 。
果然，这个念头尚未转过，那五名分神期存在中的一名少女就开口了。
From a distance, she seemed no different from ordinary human cultivators. However, upon closer inspection, her body exuded an overwhelmingly heavy aura of阴气, and her attire was peculiar, emitting a faint glow all over.
cǐ nǚ yī yǎn wàng qù ， sì hū yǔ rén lèi xiū shì bié wú èr zhì ， dàn zǐ xì kàn ， tā hún shēn shàng xià de yīn qì ， què nóng zhòng yǐ jí ， yī zhuó qí tè ， hún shēn shàng xià ， jū rán sàn fà zhe yōu yōu de guāng zé 。
此女一眼望去，似乎与人类修士别无二致，但仔细看，她浑身上下的阴气，却浓重以极，衣着奇特，浑身上下，居然散发着幽幽的光泽。
Netherworld Realm cultivators!
yīn sī jiè de xiū xiān zhě ！
阴司界的修仙者！
Lin Xuan was now certain that he had arrived in the Netherworld.
lín xuān zhè yī xià ， shì què dìng zì jǐ lái dào yīn cáo dì fǔ 。
林轩这一下，是确定自己来到阴曹地府。
"Yingyousheng, Ghost Sage, do you really intend to fight us to the death? Are you planning to betray King Asura?"
“ tiān yōu guǐ shèng ， nǐ mò fēi zhēn yào yǔ wǒ men yú sǐ wǎng pò ， bèi pàn ā xiū luó wáng me ？”
“天幽鬼圣，你莫非真要与我们鱼死网破，背叛阿修罗王么？”
"What?!"
“ shén me ？”
“什么？”
Hiding in the shadows, Lin Xuan was utterly bewildered. He almost thought his ears were playing tricks on him.
yǐn cáng zài àn chù de lín xuān ， mǎn liǎn cuò è ， jī hū yǐ wéi zì jǐ de ěr duǒ chū wèn tí le 。
隐藏在暗处的林轩，满脸错愕，几乎以为自己的耳朵出问题了。
Although he also wanted to find clues related to Mo'er, this information seemed too easy to come by.
suī rán tā yě xiǎng tīng dào yǔ yuè ér yǒu guān de xiàn suǒ ， kě yǎn qián zhè ge xiāo xī ， lái de shì bú shì tài qīng yì 。
虽然他也想听到与月儿有关的线索，可眼前这个消息，来的是不是太轻易。
After all… he had just broken through the Void and arrived in this plane of existence. It had only been a short while—no more than an hour or so.
nà ge …… zì jǐ cái gāng gāng pò suì xū kōng ， lái dào cǐ jiè miàn 。 mǎn dǎ mǎn suàn ， yě cái yī zhǎn chá de shí jiān 。
那个……自己才刚刚破碎虚空，来到此界面。满打满算，也才一盏茶的时间。
How could it be that he actually obtained information about Mo'er without even knowing where he was?
lián shēn zài hé chù dōu méi yǒu nòng qīng chǔ ， jū rán zhēn dé dào yǔ yuè ér yǒu guān de xiāo xī le ？
连身在何处都没有弄清楚，居然真得到与月儿有关的消息了？
Wasn't there something wrong here!
yǒu méi yǒu gǎo cuò ！
有没有搞错！
Even if it were sheer coincidence, it couldn’t be this absurd.
jiù suàn shì wú qiǎo bù chéng shū ， yě bù zhì yú zhè me lí pǔ 。
就算是无巧不成书，也不至于这么离谱。
Could my luck really be this good?
zì jǐ de yùn qì ， zhēn néng hǎo dào rú cǐ kuā zhāng de dì bù ？
自己的运气，真能好到如此夸张的地步？
Despite his extensive experience, Lin Xuan felt somewhat disoriented by the current situation. But regardless of whether it was true or not, this information must not be overlooked. He took a deep breath and focused intently to listen.
ráo shì lín xuān jiàn shí guǎng bó ， duì yú cǐ kè de jīng lì yě jué de yǒu xiē yūn hū hū 。
饶是林轩见识广博，对于此刻的经历也觉得有些晕乎乎。
"King Asura? Lord of the Netherworld? He perished long ago, millions of years ago. The strongest Asura clan in our realm no longer has a king."
dàn bù guǎn shì zhēn shì jiǎ ， zhè ge xiāo xī yě jué bù néng là xià ， máng xī le kǒu qì ， níng shén jìng tīng qǐ lái le 。
但不管是真是假，这个消息也绝不能落下，忙吸了口气，凝神静听起来了。
The old monster hidden in the dark aura sneered coldly.
“ shén me ā xiū luó wáng ， yīn sī zhī zhǔ 。 zǎo zài shù bǎi wàn nián qián jiù yǐ jīng yǔn luò ， wǒ men yīn sī jiè zuì qiáng de ā xiū luó yī zú ， nǎ lǐ hái yǒu wáng zhě ？”
“什么阿修罗王，阴司之主。早在数百万年前就已经陨落，我们阴司界最强的阿修罗一族，哪里还有王者？”
"Hoax! The King did not perish; he simply reincarnated. Now that he is back in the Netherworld Realm, all we need to do is find the Seven Treasures of Asura, and our power and glory will be restored. Yingyousheng, are you really planning to betray the Asura clan and refuse to welcome the King’s return with us?"
nà yǐn cáng zài hēi qì zhōng de lǎo guài wù ， mǎn liǎn bù xiè zhī sè ， lěng lěng de shuō 。
那隐藏在黑气中的老怪物，满脸不屑之色，冷冷的说。
"Rubbish! What reincarnation as a king? Who knows if it's true. I won’t join your ranks. Say no more. Hand over the necklace from the Seven Treasures of Asura first!"
“ hú shuō ， wáng méi yǒu yǔn luò ， zhǐ shì zhuǎn shì tóu tāi bà le ， rú jīn yǐ huí dào yīn sī dì fǔ ， zhǐ yào zhǎo dào xiū luó qī bǎo 。 jiù kě yǐ huī fù xī rì de fǎ lì yǔ zūn róng ， tiān yōu guǐ shèng ， mò fēi nǐ zhēn yào bèi pàn ā xiū luó wáng yī zú ， bù yuàn yì yǔ wǒ men yì qǐ yíng jiē wáng de guī lái me ？“
“胡说，王没有陨落，只是转世投胎罢了，如今已回到阴司地府，只要找到修罗七宝。就可以恢复昔日的法力与尊荣，天幽鬼圣，莫非你真要背叛阿修罗王一族，不愿意与我们一起迎接王的归来么？“
"You…!"
“ pēi 。 shén me ā xiū luó wáng zhuǎn shì ， shuí zhī dào shì zhēn shì jiǎ ， lǎo fū cái bú huì yǔ nǐ men tóng liú hé wū ， shén me yě bié shuō 。 xiān jiāng xiū luó qī bǎo zhōng de xiàng liàn jiāo chū lái ba ！”
“呸。什么阿修罗王转世，谁知道是真是假，老夫才不会与你们同流合污，什么也别说。先将修罗七宝中的项链交出来吧！”
The young man with two short horns on his head spoke up, "Seventh Sister, there’s no need to waste words. The truth is clear in this fellow’s heart; he has already betrayed the Asura clan."
“ nǐ ……”
“你……”
"Indeed, what can we say to such a fickle person? Regardless of anything else, we must return the necklace to the King."
nà shào nǚ dà nù ， páng biān ， yī tóu shàng shēng yǒu liǎng gēn duǎn jiǎo de qīng nián kāi kǒu le ：“ qī mèi 。 bù yòng duō fèi chún shé ， zhēn xiàng rú hé ， zhè jiā huo xīn zhōng yǒu shù ， zhǐ shì ， tā yǐ jīng bèi pàn le ā xiū luó yī zú 。”
那少女大怒，旁边，一头上生有两根短角的青年开口了：“七妹。不用多费唇舌，真相如何，这家伙心中有数，只是，他已经背叛了阿修罗一族。”
The ugly-looking fellow spoke next but struck with great ferocity, even against a Ghost Sage-level powerhouse.
“ bù cuò ， yǔ zhè jiàn fēng shǐ duò zhī rén yǒu shén me hǎo shuō ， wú lùn rú hé ， wǒ men yě yào jiāng xiàng liàn jiāo huí dào wáng de shǒu zhōng 。”
“不错，与这见风使舵之人有什么好说，无论如何，我们也要将项链交回到王的手中。”
"Humph! In front of me, you want to take away treasure? Dream on. You have no chance here; all of you will perish."
zhè cì shuō huà de shì yī xiàng mào chǒu lòu de jiā huo ， chū shǒu què shì dà kāi dà hé ， jí biàn miàn duì guǐ shèng jí bié de qiáng zhě ， yě yǒng měng dào jí chù 。
这次说话的是一相貌丑陋的家伙，出手却是大开大阖，即便面对鬼圣级别的强者，也勇猛到极处。
That Ghost Sage’s voice was filled with disdain as he pointed his finger forward. The thick dark aura around him transformed into dozens of grotesque tentacles.
“ hēng ， zài lǎo fū miàn qián ， yě xiǎng dài zǒu bǎo wù ， bié zuò bái rì mèng me le ， nǐ men fēn háo jī huì yě wú ， quán dōu yào zài zhè lǐ yǔn luò 。”
“哼，在老夫面前，也想带走宝物，别做白日梦么了，你们分毫机会也无，全都要在这里陨落。”
These tentacles were not only numerous but also attacked at an astonishing speed, as if they had transcended time and space.
nà guǐ shèng de shēng yīn zhōng chōng mǎn le bù xiè zhī sè 。
那鬼圣的声音中充满了不屑之色。
The five Ghosts at the Spirit-Scattering Realm immediately found themselves in peril.
suí hòu yī zhǐ xiàng qián diǎn chū ， tā shēn tǐ zhōu wéi nóng zhòng de yīn qì ， jìng huà wèi le shù shí tiáo zhēng níng de chù shǒu 。
随后一指向前点出，他身体周围浓重的阴气，竟化为了数十条狰狞的触手。
"Seventh Sister, get out quickly!"
nà xiē chù shǒu bù jǐn shù liàng jí duō ， gōng jī de sù dù gèng shì lìng rén chēng mù jié shé ， fǎng fú kuà yuè le shí jiān yǔ kōng jiān de jù lí shì de 。
那些触手不仅数量极多，攻击的速度更是令人瞠目结舌，仿佛跨越了时间与空间的距离似的。
"Right, don’t worry about us. You must leave here."
nà wǔ míng fèn shén jí bié de guǐ wù ， yī xià zi jiù xiǎn xiàng huán shēng le 。
那五名分神级别的鬼物，一下子就险象环生了。
A strange scene unfolded: when the crisis arose, the four other ghosts did not seek to protect themselves but instead fiercely attacked, creating a gap for that Ghosts’ sister.
“ qī mèi ， nǐ kuài zǒu ！”
“七妹，你快走！”
"Brother!" The young woman’s face showed hesitation.
“ bù cuò ， bú yào guǎn wǒ men ， nǐ kuài xiē lí kāi cǐ chù 。”
“不错，不要管我们，你快些离开此处。”
"Go! Everything is for Asura!"
qí guài de yí mù fā shēng le ， dāng cǐ wēi jī shí kè ， nà sì míng guǐ wù bù jǐn méi yǒu lì qiú zì bǎo ， fǎn ér pīn mìng gōng jī ， xiǎng yào wèi nà míng guǐ zú shào nǚ chuàng zào chū kòng xì 。
奇怪的一幕发生了，当此危机时刻，那四名鬼物不仅没有力求自保，反而拼命攻击，想要为那名鬼族少女创造出空隙。
"As long as we can hand over the treasure to the King, our deaths are worth it."
“ dà gē ！” shào nǚ de liǎn shàng lù chū yī sī chí yí 。
“大哥！”少女的脸上露出一丝迟疑。
"Seventh Sister, leave quickly."
“ zǒu ， yī qiè wèi le ā xiū luó ！”
“走，一切为了阿修罗！”
The four Spirit-Scattering Realm cultivators fought desperately while urging their comrade to escape.
“ zhǐ yào néng jiāng bǎo wù jiāo dào wáng de shǒu lǐ ， wǒ men jí biàn yǔn luò ， yě zài suǒ bù xī 。”
“只要能将宝物交到王的手里，我们即便陨落，也在所不惜。”
Logically, a Spirit-Scattering existence should not have much chance against a Transcending Tribulation one.
“ qī mèi ， kuài xiē lí kāi zhè lǐ 。”
“七妹，快些离开这里。”
However, these five ghosts were skilled in teamwork. They were also powerful late-stage Spirit-Scattering beings. The Transcending Tribulation old monster was truly caught off guard and couldn’t find an opening to act.
nà sì míng fèn shén jí bié de xiū xiān zhě ， yī biān pīn mìng gōng jī ， yī biān cuī cù shào nǚ kuài xiē lí kāi zhè lǐ 。
那四名分神级别的修仙者，一边拼命攻击，一边催促少女快些离开这里。
The young woman bit her pearl-like teeth, realizing that the opportunity must not be missed.
àn lǐ ， fēn shén duì shàng dù jié ， běn yīng gāi méi yǒu duō shǎo huán shǒu zhī lì 。
按理，分神对上渡劫，本应该没有多少还手之力。
Although she wished to stay with her brothers and die together, she knew better than to act on impulse.
rán ér zhè sì míng yīn hún guǐ wù ， què shàn cháng lián shǒu zhī shù 。
然而这四名阴魂鬼物，却擅长联手之术。
With a determined expression, she took advantage of the gap created by her companions and escaped from the Ghost Sage’s fierce attacks.
běn shēn yě shì fēn shén hòu qī zhōng de qiáng zhě ， nà dù jié jí bié de lǎo guài wù ， yī shí jiān ， jū rán zhēn bèi tā men chán zhù ， huǎn bù chū shǒu jiǎo lái le 。
本身也是分神后期中的强者，那渡劫级别的老怪物，一时间，居然真被他们缠住，缓不出手脚来了。
The old monster was both enraged and alarmed.
shào nǚ yǎo le yǎo bèi chǐ ， yě míng bái liáng jī bù róng cuò shī 。
少女咬了咬贝齿，也明白良机不容错失。
"Fine, since you’re so reckless, don’t blame me for being ruthless."
suī rán tā hèn bù dé liú xià lái yǔ jǐ míng jié bài xiōng dì tóng shēng gòng sǐ ， dàn yě míng bái ， zhè shí hòu ， bù néng yì qì yòng shì 。
虽然她恨不得留下来与几名结拜兄弟同生共死，但也明白，这时候，不能意气用事。
Before he could finish speaking, several black rays shot out from the dark aura. This old fellow had summoned his treasure.
yǎo le yǎo bèi chǐ ， tā de de liǎn shàng shǎn guò yī sī bēi shāng zhī sè ， dàn hěn kuài jiù bèi jué rán de biǎo qíng dài tì le ， lì yòng tóng bàn wèi tā chuàng zào de kòng xì ， cóng nà guǐ shèng kuáng měng de gōng jī zhòng táo le chū qù 。
咬了咬贝齿，她的的脸上闪过一丝悲伤之色，但很快就被决然的表情代替了，利用同伴为她创造的空隙，从那鬼圣狂猛的攻击中逃了出去。
Despite the difference between a Spirit-Scattering and Transcending Tribulation existence, once he was serious, the four ghosts left behind were in grave danger.
nà lǎo guài wù zì rán shì jīng nù jiāo jí 。
那老怪物自然是惊怒交集。
They indeed excelled at teamwork. If they worked together, perhaps their familiar formation could delay things for a moment. But with that young woman gone, the formation was broken; how could these mere Spirit-Scattering beings possibly stand against a Ghost Sage?
“ hǎo ， jì rán nǐ men bù zhī sǐ huó ， nà jiù bú yào guài lǎo fū xīn hěn shǒu là le 。”
“好，既然你们不知死活，那就不要怪老夫心狠手辣了。”
Moreover, this old fellow was already furious and ashamed.
huà yīn wèi luò ， shù dào hēi máng cóng nà yīn qì zhōng fēi lüè ér chū ， bú yòng shuō ， zhè lǎo jiā huǒ ， jì chū le zì jǐ de bǎo wù 。
话音未落，数道黑芒从那阴气中飞掠而出，不用说，这老家伙，祭出了自己的宝物。
In an instant, several of them were ensnared by the tentacles. The Ghost Sage’s face showed a grim expression as he exterminated them all.
fēn shén yǔ dù jié bì jìng bù tóng 。
分神与渡劫毕竟不同。
Only their storage bags remained. He released his divine sense and quickly sneered, "Sure enough, not there. That necklace from the Seven Treasures of Asura must be on that woman."
tā yī rèn zhēn qǐ lái ， liú zài zhè ér de sì míng yīn hún guǐ wù ， dùn shí jiù xiǎn xiàng huán shēng qǐ lái le 。
他一认真起来，留在这儿的四名阴魂鬼物，顿时就险象环生起来了。
"Really reckless! A mere Spirit-Scattering existence thinks it can escape my hands?"
tā men què shí shàn cháng lián shǒu zhī shù ， ruò shì wǔ rén hé lì ， yòng tā men liàn shú de zhèn fǎ ， yě xǔ hái néng shāo shāo tuō yán piàn kè ， dàn nà shào nǚ yī zǒu ， zhèn shì bèi pò ， qū qū sì míng fèn shén jí bié de xiū xiān zhě ， zěn me kě néng shì yī guǐ shèng de duì shǒu ne ？
他们确实擅长联手之术，若是五人合力，用他们练熟的阵法，也许还能稍稍拖延片刻，但那少女一走，阵势被破，区区四名分神级别的修仙者，怎么可能是一鬼圣的对手呢？
He laughed for a moment before flying towards the sky.
hé kuàng zhè lǎo jiā huǒ ， yǐ jīng lǎo xiū chéng nù 。
何况这老家伙，已经老羞成怒。
Watching him disappear in the distance, Lin Xuan also emerged from his hiding spot.
bù guò shùn xī de gōng fu ， jǐ rén jiù bèi chù shǒu chán zhù ， guǐ shèng de liǎn shàng shǎn guò yī sī zhēng níng zhī sè ， jiāng tā men quán dōu miè chú 。
不过瞬息的功夫，几人就被触手缠住，鬼圣的脸上闪过一丝狰狞之色，将他们全都灭除。
"The Seven Treasures of Asura and Mo'er’s whereabouts… everything seems to be tied to this person."
zhǐ shèng xià chǔ wù dài ， tā jiāng shén shí fàng chū ， hěn kuài liǎn shàng jiù lù chū lěng xiào zhī sè ：“ guǒ rán méi yǒu ， kàn lái nà xiū luó qī bǎo zhōng de xiàng liàn shì zài nà nǚ zǐ shēn shàng le 。”
只剩下储物袋，他将神识放出，很快脸上就露出冷笑之色：“果然没有，看来那修罗七宝中的项链是在那女子身上了。”
Lin Xuan murmured to himself as he silently followed. (To be continued...)
“ zhēn shì bù zhī sǐ huó ， qū qū yī fēn shén jí bié de cún zài yě xiǎng cóng běn shèng de shǒu lǐ táo tuō ？”
“真是不知死活，区区一分神级别的存在也想从本圣的手里逃脱？”

With a determined expression, she took advantage of the gap created by her companions and escaped from the Ghost Sage’s fierce attacks.
The old monster was both enraged and alarmed.
"Fine, since you’re so reckless, don’t blame me for being ruthless."
Before he could finish speaking, several black rays shot out from the dark aura. This old fellow had summoned his treasure.
Despite the difference between a Spirit-Scattering and Transcending Tribulation existence, once he was serious, the four ghosts left behind were in grave danger.
They indeed excelled at teamwork. If they worked together, perhaps their familiar formation could delay things for a moment. But with that young woman gone, the formation was broken; how could these mere Spirit-Scattering beings possibly stand against a Ghost Sage?
Moreover, this old fellow was already furious and ashamed.
In an instant, several of them were ensnared by the tentacles. The Ghost Sage’s face showed a grim expression as he exterminated them all.
Only their storage bags remained. He released his divine sense and quickly sneered, "Sure enough, not there. That necklace from the Seven Treasures of Asura must be on that woman."
"Really reckless! A mere Spirit-Scattering existence thinks it can escape my hands?"
He laughed for a moment before flying towards the sky.
Watching him disappear in the distance, Lin Xuan also emerged from his hiding spot.
"The Seven Treasures of Asura and Mo'er’s whereabouts… everything seems to be tied to this person."
Lin Xuan murmured to himself as he silently followed. (To be continued...)
