bù guò tā zì rán bú huì shù shǒu dài bì ， shuāng shǒu qiā jué ， yī lián shī zhǎn le hǎo jǐ zhǒng mì shù ，. yòu shī shū méng
不过他自然不会束手待毙，双手掐诀，一连施展了好几种秘术，.幼狮书盟
However, he would not simply sit and wait for death. With his nature, Lin Xuan could never be careless or underestimate his opponent. Since the other party was already in his hands, how could he let a cooked duck fly away?
yǐ lín xuān de xìng gé ， jué bú huì dà yì qīng dí ， duì fāng jì rán luò zài le zì jǐ de shǒu lǐ ， qǐ huì ràng zhǔ shú de yā zi fēi le qù 。
以林轩的xìng格，绝不会大意轻敌，对方既然落在了自己的手里，岂会让煮熟的鸭子飞了去。
"Boy, what do you intend to do?"
“ xiǎo zi ， nǐ jiū jìng yì yù rú hé ？”
“小子，你究竟意yù如何？”
This fellow had a rather fierce character; even though he was in such a predicament, his voice and tone showed no signs of giving up.
zhè jiā huo ， dǎo shì yī xìng gé hěn gāng liè de rén wù ， dōu luò dào le zhè bān tián dì ， shēng yīn yǔ qì ， yī jiù sī háo méi yǒu fú ruǎn zhī yì 。
这家伙，倒是一xìng格很刚烈的人物，都落到了这般田地，声音语气，依旧丝毫没有服软之意。
But from Lin Xuan's perspective, this was somewhat foolish.
rán ér zhè zài lín xuān kàn lái ， kě jiù yǒu xiē yú chǔn le 。
然而这在林轩看来，可就有些愚蠢了。
He didn't say much more. With a wave of his sleeves, several secret techniques were cast out, sealing the other party's spiritual energy with a flicker of light.
tā yě bù duō shuō ， xiù páo yī shuǎi ， yī lián chuàn fǎ jué jī shè chū lái ， zhǐ jiàn líng guāng diǎn diǎn ， yǐ jiāng duì fāng de yī shēn fǎ lì gěi fēng zhù 。
他也不多说，袖袍一甩，一连串法诀激shè出来，只见灵光点点，已将对方的一身法力给封住。
Next, Lin Xuan took out an jade box and placed the ghost king’s essence core inside it, then affixed two prohibitive talismans on it. This way, even if the other party had divine abilities, they wouldn't be able to escape from his hands.
suí hòu lín xuān qǔ chū yí gè yù hé ， jiāng tiān yōu guǐ shèng de yuán yīng zhuāng jìn qù le ， zài tiē shàng liǎng zhāng jìn zhì fú lù ， rú cǐ yī lái ， duì fāng jiù suàn yǒu tōng tiān de běn shì ， yě xiū xiǎng cóng zì jǐ shǒu lǐ táo tuō 。
随后林轩取出一个玉盒，将天幽鬼圣的元婴装进去了，再贴上两张禁制符箓，如此一来，对方就算有通天的本事，也休想从自己手里逃脱。
Lin Xuan's actions were already a show of mercy. After all, he was just arriving in Yinsi Netherworld and many things were unclear; leaving this ghost king alive might prove useful for the future.
lín xuān zhè me zuò ， yǐ suàn shǒu xià liú qíng ， bì jìng chū dào yīn sī dì fǔ ， hěn duō shì qíng dōu bù qīng chǔ ， liú xià zhè guǐ shèng de yī tiáo xiǎo mìng ér ， duì yǐ hòu yě xǔ huì yǒu yòng chù 。
林轩这么做，已算手下留情，毕竟初到yīn司地府，很多事情都不清楚，留下这鬼圣的一条小命儿，对以后也许会有用处。
This was also a precautionary measure. A person without long-term foresight would surely face short-term worries. Although Lin Xuan had already reached the Transcendence stage, his actions remained meticulous.
lín xuān zhè me zuò ， yě suàn shì wèi yǔ chóu móu ， rén wú yuǎn lǜ bì yǒu jìn yōu ， suī rán tā rú jīn yǐ shì dù jié jí bié de qiáng zhě ， dàn zuò shì qíng yī jiù shì dī shuǐ bù lòu 。
林轩这么做，也算是未雨绸缪，人无远虑必有近忧，虽然他如今已是渡劫级别的强者，但做事情依旧是滴水不漏。
After securing the jade box, Lin Xuan’s body was enveloped in a glow of spirituality as he flew forward.
suí hòu lín xuān shōu hǎo yù hé ， hún shēn líng guāng dà zuò ， xiàng zhe qián fāng fēi qù le 。
随后林轩收好玉盒，浑身灵光大做，向着前方飞去了。
Soon, he saw a slender figure hovering mid-air with a hesitant expression, looking rather pitiful.
hěn kuài jiù kàn jiàn le yī miáo tiáo xiān xiù de shēn yǐng ， xuán fú zài bàn kōng ， biǎo qíng dài zhe jǐ fēn chí yí ， kàn shàng qù pǒ yǒu jǐ fēn chǔ chǔ kě lián zhī yì 。
很快就看见了一苗条纤秀的身影，悬浮在半空，表情带着几分迟疑，看上去颇有几分楚楚可怜之意。
It was that surviving ghost race girl.
zhèng shì nà xìng cún xià lái de guǐ zú shào nǚ 。
正是那幸存下来的鬼族少女。
From this distance, she truly didn’t seem to be a peak Divination Realm powerhouse.
yī yǎn wàng qù ， hái zhēn bù xiàng fēn shén jí bié de qiáng zhě 。。
一眼望去，还真不像分神级别的强者。。
Lin Xuan slowed his遁光 and descended in front of her. "Where is Moon?"
lín xuān dùn guāng yī huǎn ， zài tā shēn qián jiàng luò ， yuè ér shēn zài hé chù ， hái yào cóng tā zuǐ lǐ dǎ tàn yī èr de 。
林轩遁光一缓，在她身前降落，月儿身在何处，还要从她嘴里打探一二的。
The girl bowed respectfully towards Lin Xuan: "Thank you for your assistance, Senior. If not for your help, I might have already perished."
cǐ nǚ yíng yíng yī fú ， chōng zhe lín xuān bài xià qù le ：“ duō xiè qián bèi yuán shǒu zhī dé ， ruò fēi nǐ chū shǒu xiàng zhù ， wǎn bèi shuō bù dìng yǐ jīng yǔn luò diào le 。”
此女盈盈一福，冲着林轩拜下去了：“多谢前辈援手之德，若非你出手相助，晚辈说不定已经陨落掉了。”
"No need for such formalities."
“ bù yòng duō lǐ 。”
“不用多礼。”
Lin Xuan’s expression remained calm; with his cultivation level, he had long mastered the art of concealing emotions. Despite his inner excitement and anticipation, he wouldn’t let her see any hint.
lín xuān liǎn shàng de biǎo qíng què shì dàn dàn dì ， xiū wèi dào le tā zhè ge děng jí ， zǎo yǐ xué huì le xǐ nù bù xíng yú sè， jǐn guǎn cǐ kè ， xīn zhōng jī dòng qǐ pàn yǐ jí ， yě bú huì ràng duì fāng kàn chū sī háo duān ní 。
林轩脸上的表情却是淡淡地，修为到了他这个等级，早已学会了喜怒不形于sè，尽管此刻，心中激动企盼以极，也不会让对方看出丝毫端倪。
"Do you know me?"
“ nǐ sì hū rèn shí wǒ ？”
“你似乎认识我？”
Lin Xuan didn't waste time on pleasantries. He directly got to the point. Remembering their first meeting, she had looked at him with astonishment.
lín xuān yě méi yǒu yǔ tā luō suo ， zhí bēn zhǔ tí ， jì de gāng jiàn miàn shí ， tā wàng xiàng zì jǐ de biǎo qíng ， kě shì chōng mǎn le yà yì 。
林轩也没有与她啰嗦，直奔主题，记得刚见面时，她望向自己的表情，可是充满了讶异。
"Yes..."
“ bù cuò ……”
“不错……”
The girl hesitated for a moment before nodding: "Your appearance is very familiar to me because I once saw similar portraits in the king’s chambers."
shào nǚ lüè yī chí yí ， diǎn tóu chéng rèn le ：“ qián bèi de yàng mào ， wǒ què shí shí fēn shú xī ， yīn wèi wǒ céng jīng zài wáng de guī fáng lǐ ， jiàn guò yǔ zhī xiāng sì de huà xiàng dì 。”
少女略一迟疑，点头承认了：“前辈的样貌，我确实十分熟悉，因为我曾经在王的闺房里，见过与之相似的画像地。”
"Oh?"
“ ó ？”
“哦？”
Lin Xuan's face showed great interest.
lín xuān tīng le ， liǎn shàng lù chū jí wéi gǎn xìng qù zhī sè。
林轩听了，脸上露出极为感兴趣之sè。
So this girl was indeed someone close to Moon. Otherwise, there would be no reason she had seen his portrait.
zhè me shuō ， cǐ nǚ hái zhēn shì yuè ér shí fēn qīn jìn de bù xià le ， fǒu zé yú qíng yú lǐ ， dōu bú huì yǒu jiàn guò zì jǐ huà xiàng de 。
这么说，此女还真是月儿十分亲近的部下了，否则于情于理，都不会有见过自己画像的。
"Then you should know my identity."
“ zhè me shuō ， nǐ yīng gāi zhī dào wǒ de shēn fèn le 。”
“这么说，你应该知道我的身份了。”
"Yes."
“ bù cuò 。”
“不错。”
The other party nodded, but her tone and voice clearly carried some concern: "The king’s lover, I naturally know. But how can I be sure that you are not a fake?"
duì fāng diǎn diǎn tóu ， rán ér shēng yīn yǔ qì ， què míng xiǎn dài shàng le jǐ fēn gù lǜ ：“ wáng de xīn shàng rén ， xiǎo bì zì rán xiǎo de ， bù guò wǒ zěn me zhī dào ， nǐ shì bú shì mào chōng de ？”
对方点点头，然而声音语气，却明显带上了几分顾虑：“王的心上人，小婢自然晓得，不过我怎么知道，你是不是冒充的？”
"This..."
“ zhè ……”
“这……”
Lin Xuan was speechless. Even with his many schemes, he hadn’t anticipated this situation.
lín xuān chēng mù jié shé ， ráo shì tā zhì jì bǎi chū ， zhè zhǒng qíng kuàng ， què yě shì bù céng xiǎng dào de 。
林轩瞠目结舌，饶是他智计百出，这种情况，却也是不曾想到的。
She actually doubted whether he was a counterfeit. How could he prove it?
duì fāng jū rán huái yí zì jǐ shì jiǎ huò ， zhè yào zěn me zhèng míng ne 。
对方居然怀疑自己是假货，这要怎么证明呢。
In the Nael Dragon Realm, it would have been easy, but in Yinsi Netherworld, he was unfamiliar with everything.
ruò shì zài nài lóng jiè gù rán hǎo shuō ， rán ér yīn sī dì fǔ ， zì jǐ què shì rén shēng dì bù shú 。
若是在鼐龙界固然好说，然而yīn司地府，自己却是人生地不熟。
How to find someone to verify his identity? This was indeed a difficult problem.
zěn me zhǎo rén zhèng míng zì jǐ de shēn fèn ， zhè hái zhēn shì yí gè nán tí le 。
怎么找人证明自己的身份，这还真是一个难题了。
"Have people ever impersonated you before?"
“ zěn me ， yǐ qián céng jīng yǒu rén mào chōng me ？”
“怎么，以前曾经有人冒充么？”
Lin Xuan’s face showed even more interest.
lín xuān liǎn shàng yuè fā lù chū gǎn xìng qù de shén sè。
林轩脸上越发露出感兴趣的神sè。
"Yes, there were some who wanted to find out the king's whereabouts."
“ bù cuò ， céng jīng yǒu guò ， dōu xiǎng yào dǎ tīng wáng de xià luò 。”
“不错，曾经有过，都想要打听王的下落。”
"Moon’s whereabouts?"
“ yuè ér de xià luò ？”
“月儿的下落？”
"Hmm. The king’s powers have not fully recovered. In Yinsi Netherworld, many wish to put her to death. Therefore, her hiding place must remain secret, and those with ulterior motives will do anything to uncover it."
“ ń ， wáng de shén tōng shàng wèi wán quán huī fù ， fàng yǎn yīn sī dì fǔ ， xiǎng yào zhì tā yú sǐ dì de jiā huo hěn duō ， gù ér wáng de cáng shēn zhī chù jué bù néng bào lù ， ér nà xiē jū xīn pǒ cè de jiā huo qiān fāng bǎi jì dōu xiǎng yào dǎ tàn qīng chǔ 。”
“嗯，王的神通尚未完全恢复，放眼yīn司地府，想要置她于死地的家伙很多，故而王的藏身之处绝不能暴露，而那些居心叵测的家伙千方百计都想要打探清楚。”
The girl spoke like this while looking at Lin Xuan, who showed obvious caution.
nà shào nǚ rú cǐ zhè bān de shuō ， wàng xiàng lín xuān de biǎo qíng ， yě hěn míng xiǎn de dài yǒu jǐng tì zhī sè。
那少女如此这般的说，望像林轩的表情，也很明显的带有jǐng惕之sè。
Although the person before him had saved her once, they might be putting on a show of self-sacrifice. After all, these people would stop at nothing to find out where the king was.
suī shuō yǎn qián zhī rén ， céng jīng jiāng zì jǐ jiù guò ， dàn ān zhī ， tā men bú shì zài shàng yǎn kǔ ròu jì ne ， yào xiǎo de ， zhè xiē jiā huo wèi le xún zhǎo dào wáng de xià luò ， kě shì wú suǒ bù yòng qí jí de 。
虽说眼前之人，曾经将自己救过，但安之，他们不是在上演苦肉计呢，要晓得，这些家伙为了寻找到王的下落，可是无所不用其极的。
This girl knew what she was doing; by saying this, she might anger the old man in front of her—most Transcendence Realm existences had peculiar temperaments.
cǐ nǚ xīn zhōng yǒu shù ， zì jǐ zhè me shuō ， yǒu kě néng jī nù yǎn qián de lǎo jiā huǒ ， bì jìng dù jié qī cún zài ， dà duō pí qì dōu shì hěn gǔ guài de 。
此女心中有数，自己这么说，有可能激怒眼前的老家伙，毕竟渡劫期存在，大多脾气都是很古怪的。
She was risking her life.
tā shì ná zì jǐ de xiǎo mìng ér zài mào xiǎn 。
她是拿自己的小命儿在冒险。
But so what? For Moon’s safety, she wouldn’t have any carelessness. Even if it meant losing her soul and spirit, she would not hesitate.
bù guò nà yòu rú hé ， wèi le wáng de ān quán ， tā jué bú huì yǒu rèn hé qīng xīn dà yì ， jiù suàn shì hún fēi pò sàn ， yě zài suǒ bù xī 。
不过那又如何，为了王的安全，她绝不会有任何轻心大意，就算是魂飞魄散，也再所不惜。
Clearly, this girl was extremely loyal to the Arurra King.
xiǎn rán cǐ nǚ duì ā xiū luó wáng zhōng xīn yǐ jí 。
显然此女对阿修罗王忠心以极。
Lin Xuan quickly understood the situation and his expression turned relieved. He looked at the girl with a gentler gaze.
lín xuān hěn kuài jiù jiāng zhè zhōng jiān de yuán yóu xiǎng qīng chǔ ， liǎn shàng yě lù chū xīn wèi zhī sè， kàn xiàng cǐ nǚ de yǎn shén ， gèng shì hé ǎi le xǔ duō 。
林轩很快就将这中间的缘由想清楚，脸上也露出欣慰之sè，看像此女的眼神，更是和蔼了许多。
She had shown great loyalty towards Moon, which Lin Xuan naturally appreciated.
tā duì yú yuè ér de zhōng xīn ， lín xuān zì rán shì shí fēn zàn shǎng de 。
她对于月儿的忠心，林轩自然是十分赞赏的。
But the problem arose: how could he prove his identity here?
kě nán tí yě suí zhī ér lái le ， zì jǐ zài zhè lǐ wú qiān wú guà ， zěn me zhèng míng zì jǐ de shēn fèn ne ？
可难题也随之而来了，自己在这里无牵无挂，怎么证明自己的身份呢？
This was a challenge he hadn’t faced since entering the cultivation world.
zhè ge nán tí ， kě shì zì jǐ tà rù xiū xiān jiè lái ， cóng suǒ wèi yù 。
这个难题，可是自己踏入修仙界来，从所未遇。
"I am truly Lin Xuan!"
“ wǒ zhēn shì lín xuān ！”
“我真是林轩！”
Lin Xuan sighed. "If you don't believe me, would it be acceptable for me to swear by my heart demon?"
lín xuān tàn le kǒu qì ：“ gū niáng ruò bù xiāng xìn de huà ， zài xià fā xià xīn mó zhī shì rú hé ？”
林轩叹了口气：“姑娘若不相信的话，在下发下心魔之誓如何？”
"Swearing by your heart demon?"
“ xīn mó zhī shì ？”
“心魔之誓？”
The other party showed an expression of disbelief: "What use is that? The person seeking out the king’s whereabouts has used every means possible. A mere heart demon oath won’t prove anything."
duì fāng liǎn shàng lù chū bù yǐ wéi rán de shén sè：“ nà yǒu shén me yòng tú ， duì fāng wèi le xún zhǎo dào wáng de xià luò ， shén me shǒu duàn dōu shī zhǎn guò ， qū qū xīn mó zhī shì shuō míng bù liǎo shén me 。”
对方脸上露出不以为然的神sè：“那有什么用途，对方为了寻找到王的下落，什么手段都施展过，区区心魔之誓说明不了什么。”
"There's nothing I can do then,"
“ nà lín mǒu yě wú jì kě shī le 。”
“那林某也无计可施了。”
Lin Xuan sighed again. "As long as I meet Moon, my identity will be clear."
lín xuān tàn le kǒu qì ：“ zhǐ yào yǔ yuè ér xiāng jiàn ， wǒ de shēn fèn zì rán jiù qīng chǔ 。”
林轩叹了口气：“只要与月儿相见，我的身份自然就清楚。”
"But this is impossible. Until you are proven to be the Young Master, I won't risk revealing the king’s hiding place."
“ zhè bù kě néng ， zài zhèng míng nǐ shì shǎo zhǔ yǐ qián ， wǒ bú huì mào xiǎn ， ràng nǐ zhī dào wáng de cáng shēn zhī chù 。”
“这不可能，在证明你是少主以前，我不会冒险，让你知道王的藏身之处。”
"Young Master?" Lin Xuan showed curiosity.
“ shǎo zhǔ ？” lín xuān liǎn shàng lù chū hào qí zhī sè。
“少主？”林轩脸上露出好奇之sè。
"Yes, the king's lover. Although we have never met, in private, everyone calls him Young Master."
“ bù cuò ， wáng de xīn shàng rén ， wǒ men suī rán wèi céng jiàn guò ， dàn sī xià lǐ ， dōu chēng hū tā wèi shǎo zhǔ 。”
“不错，王的心上人，我们虽然未曾见过，但私下里，都称呼他为少主。”
Lin Xuan nodded, a bit smug, but quickly became despondent.
lín xuān diǎn diǎn tóu ， biǎo qíng yǒu yì diǎn dé yì ， dàn hěn kuài ， jiù biàn dé ào sàng yǐ jí 。
林轩点点头，表情有一点得意，但很快，就变得懊丧以极。
A clever woman has no rice to cook without it. Unless he could meet Yue'er, there was no way he could prove that he was Lin Xuan.
qiǎo fù nán wéi wú mǐ zhī chuī ， chú fēi yǔ yuè ér xiāng jiàn ， fǒu zé ， zì jǐ gēn běn jiù bù kě néng zhèng míng zì jǐ jiù shì lín xuān 。
巧妇难为无米之炊，除非与玥儿相见，否则，自己根本就不可能证明自己就是林轩。
At a loss!
yī chóu mò zhǎn ！
一筹莫展！
Lin Xuan’s face showed a bitter smile. It was true; good things take time.
lín xuān liǎn shàng mǎn shì kǔ xiào zhī sè， yào bù zěn me shuō ， hǎo shì duō mó 。
林轩脸上满是苦笑之sè，要不怎么说，好事多磨。
Originally, his plan had been to find Moon's whereabouts in the Yinsi Netherworld. But by sheer luck, he already had some clues upon arrival.
yuán běn zài cǐ xíng yǐ qián ， zì jǐ xiǎng de ， jìn shì zěn me zài yīn sī jiè zhǎo dào yuè ér de xià luò ， méi xiǎng dào jī yuán qiǎo hé ， gāng yī lái jiù yǒu le xiàn suǒ 。
原本在此行以前，自己想的，尽是怎么在yīn司界找到月儿的下落，没想到机缘巧合，刚一来就有了线索。
This should have been very exciting, but it turned out proving his identity was so difficult.
yuán běn zhè shì shí fēn lìng rén xīn xǐ de ， kě zěn me yě bù céng xiǎng ， zěn me zhèng míng zì jǐ de shēn fèn què rú cǐ de ràng rén wéi nán 。
原本这是十分令人欣喜的，可怎么也不曾想，怎么证明自己的身份却如此的让人为难。
Of course, there were ways.
dāng rán ， yào shuō fāng fǎ ， yě shì yǒu de 。
当然，要说方法，也是有的。
For example, returning to the Spirit Realm and finding his big brother and elder sister to get the Nael Dragon Immortal and Fairy of a Hundred Flowers to testify for him.
bǐ rú shuō zhòng huí líng jiè ， zhǎo dào dà gē èr jiě ， ràng nài lóng zhēn rén yǔ bǎi huā xiān zi wèi zì jǐ zuò zhèng 。
比如说重回灵界，找到大哥二姐，让鼐龙真人与百花仙子为自己做证。
In all three realms, the Nael Dragon Immortal and Fairy of a Hundred Flowers were top-tier immortals. Their word was final; if they testified, there would be no way the other party could doubt it.
fàng yǎn sān jiè ， nài lóng zhēn rén yǔ bǎi huā xiān zi yě shì dǐng ér jiān ér de dà néng ， yì yán jiǔ dǐng ， tā men zhǐ yào kāi kǒu zhèng míng ， yóu bù dé duì fāng bù xìn 。
放眼三界，鼐龙真人与百花仙子也是顶儿尖儿的大能，一言九鼎，他们只要开口证明，由不得对方不信。
But while easy to say, actually doing so was extremely difficult.
kě shuō shuō róng yì ， zhēn xiǎng yào zhè me zuò ， què shì qiān nán wàn nán 。
可说说容易，真想要这么做，却是千难万难。
For one thing, how to return to the Spirit Realm?
bié de bù tí ， zěn me huí líng jiè qù ？
别的不提，怎么回灵界去？
Initially, he had gone through great trouble to come to Yinsi Netherworld and finally obtained the Yinsi Disk from his elder sister. Now, returning would be just as challenging; relying solely on breaking through space wouldn’t work.
dāng chū xiǎng yào lái yīn sī dì fǔ ， kě shì fèi jǐn bō zhé ， hǎo bù róng yì cái cóng èr jiě nà lǐ ， dé dào yīn sī pán zhè yàng de bǎo wù ， ràng zì jǐ yuàn wàng dá chéng le 。
当初想要来yīn司地府，可是费尽波折，好不容易才从二姐那里，得到yīn司盘这样的宝物，让自己愿望达成了。
Even if it were possible, going back and forth was too time-consuming. Lin Xuan urgently wanted to meet Moon again; he had no patience for lingering here. (To be continued.)
However, he would not simply sit and wait for death. With his nature, Lin Xuan could never be careless or underestimate his opponent. Since the other party was already in his hands, how could he let a cooked duck fly away?
"Boy, what do you intend to do?"
This fellow had a rather fierce character; even though he was in such a predicament, his voice and tone showed no signs of giving up.
But from Lin Xuan's perspective, this was somewhat foolish.
He didn't say much more. With a wave of his sleeves, several secret techniques were cast out, sealing the other party's spiritual energy with a flicker of light.
Next, Lin Xuan took out an jade box and placed the ghost king’s essence core inside it, then affixed two prohibitive talismans on it. This way, even if the other party had divine abilities, they wouldn't be able to escape from his hands.
Lin Xuan's actions were already a show of mercy. After all, he was just arriving in Yinsi Netherworld and many things were unclear; leaving this ghost king alive might prove useful for the future.

Soon, he saw a slender figure hovering mid-air with a hesitant expression, looking rather pitiful.
It was that surviving ghost race girl.

Lin Xuan’s face showed a bitter smile. It was true; good things take time.
Originally, his plan had been to find Moon's whereabouts in the Yinsi Netherworld. But by sheer luck, he already had some clues upon arrival.
This should have been very exciting, but it turned out proving his identity was so difficult.
Of course, there were ways.
For example, returning to the Spirit Realm and finding his big brother and elder sister to get the Nael Dragon Immortal and Fairy of a Hundred Flowers to testify for him.
In all three realms, the Nael Dragon Immortal and Fairy of a Hundred Flowers were top-tier immortals. Their word was final; if they testified, there would be no way the other party could doubt it.
But while easy to say, actually doing so was extremely difficult.

Initially, he had gone through great trouble to come to Yinsi Netherworld and finally obtained the Yinsi Disk from his elder sister. Now, returning would be just as challenging; relying solely on breaking through space wouldn’t work.
