jìn jù lí kàn ， nà chǎng miàn yuè fā de zhèn hàn 。
近距离看，那场面越发的震撼。
The scene was becoming increasingly awe-inspiring as one got closer.
shù zhī bù jìn de yīn hún guǐ wù ， yǒu rú mǎ yǐ ， céng céng dié dié de xiàng zhe chéng chí fēng yōng ér qù ， yuán běn wēi é de xiān chéng ， cǐ kè jiù xiàng shì jīng tāo hài làng zhōng de yí yè piān zhōu ， suí shí dōu yǒu kě néng qīng fù 。
数之不尽的阴魂鬼物，有如蚂蚁，层层叠叠的向着城池蜂拥而去，原本巍峨的仙城，此刻就像是惊涛骇浪中的一叶扁舟，随时都有可能倾覆。
Innumerable阴魂鬼物, like ants, surged towards the city in layers. The once majestic仙城 now resembled a small boat tossed about by surging waves, at any moment ready to capsize.
liàn shī de shù liàng gèng duō ， ér qiě zhè xiē dōu shì méi yǒu yì shí de kuǐ lěi zhī wù ， gēn běn bù zhī dào wèi jù hài pà wèi hé wù ， chéng zhōng de jìn zhì gù rán fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， dàn zhè yàng xià qù yě tóng yàng jiān chí bù liǎo duō jiǔ de 。
炼尸的数量更多，而且这些都是没有意识的傀儡之物，根本不知道畏惧害怕为何物，城中的禁制固然非同小可，但这样下去也同样坚持不了多久的。
The number of炼尸 was even greater, and these were mindless puppets with no fear or awareness. Despite formidable禁制 within the city, they couldn't hold out for long either.
lín xuān de liǎn sè nán kàn wú bǐ ， xìng ér de biǎo qíng yě hǎo bú dào nǎ ér qù 。
林轩的脸色难看无比，杏儿的表情也好不到哪儿去。
Lin Xuan's expression was extremely grim; so was Dang Er’s.
yuán běn yǐ wéi zhǐ shì chuán sòng diǎn bào lù ， méi xiǎng dào jú miàn yǐ jīng è huà dào zhè bān chéng dù 。
原本以为只是传送点暴露，没想到局面已经恶化到这般程度。
They had initially thought it was just a matter of the teleportation point being exposed, but now things had deteriorated to this extent.
“ shì jīn yuè shī wáng ！”
“是金玥尸王！”
"Jinyue Corpse King!"
xiǎo yā tou de shēng yīn chōng mǎn le fèn nù ， dàn qí zhōng de wèi jù zhī yì ， wú lùn rú hé ， yě shì wú fǎ yǎn shì de ：“ zhè ér suī shì yīn sī dì fǔ ， gè zhǒng xī qí gǔ guài de qiáng zhě wú shù ， dàn néng gòu tóng shí jù jí rú cǐ duō liàn shī dà jūn de ， kǒng pà yě wéi yǒu jīn yuè shī wáng nà jiā huo 。”
小丫头的声音充满了愤怒，但其中的畏惧之意，无论如何，也是无法掩饰的：“这儿虽是阴司地府，各种稀奇古怪的强者无数，但能够同时聚集如此多炼尸大军的，恐怕也唯有金玥尸王那家伙。”
The little girl's voice was filled with anger, though fear could not be concealed: "Though this place is阴司地府, teeming with powerful beings, only Jinyue Corpse King would dare gather such a large army of炼尸."
lín xuān dào xī le yī kǒu liáng qì ， biǎo qíng yě yī xià zi biàn dé níng zhòng yǐ jí ， tā suī rán shì zì shì shèn gāo de rén wù ， dàn yě jué méi yǒu zì dà dào rèn wéi zì jǐ néng yǔ yīn sī liù wáng zhè yàng de dà néng bǐ jiān le 。
林轩倒吸了一口凉气，表情也一下子变得凝重以极，他虽然是自视甚高的人物，但也绝没有自大到认为自己能与阴司六王这样的大能比肩了。
Lin Xuan sucked in a cold breath, his expression turning gravely serious. He was no fool to think he could match the Six Kings of阴司.
ruò shì jīn yuè shī wáng zài cǐ chù ， yuè ér qǐ bù shì zhēn de wēi xiǎn le ？
若是金玥尸王在此处，月儿岂不是真的危险了？
If Jinyue Corpse King were here, Moon’s safety would truly be at risk?
lín xuān dào xī liáng qì 。
林轩倒吸凉气。
Lin Xuan sucked in another cold breath.
dàn wèi jù guī wèi jù ， què jué méi yǒu rèn hé tuì suō zhī yì 。
但畏惧归畏惧，却绝没有任何退缩之意。
But despite his fear, there was no intention of retreating.
dǎ bù guò yòu rú hé ？
打不过又如何？
What if they couldn't defeat him?
jiù suàn shì zhēn xiān lín fán dào le cǐ chù ， wú lùn rú hé ， zì jǐ yě bú huì ràng tā shāng hài dào yuè ér de 。
就算是真仙临凡到了此处，无论如何，自己也不会让他伤害到月儿的。
Even if a True Immortal had come to this place, he would never allow anyone to harm Moon.
nǎ pà shǐ yòng wǔ lóng xǐ ， nǎ pà lán sè xīng hǎi de mì mì bào lù ， shèn zhì hún fēi pò sàn yú cǐ chù ， zì jǐ dōu yí dìng yào bǎo hù hǎo yuè ér de 。
哪怕使用五龙玺，哪怕蓝色星海的秘密暴露，甚至魂飞魄散于此处，自己都一定要保护好月儿的。
Even if it meant using the Five Dragon Seal, revealing the secret of the Blue Star Sea, or even perishing here, he must protect Moon.
lín xuān de yǎn shén jiān dìng yǐ jí ， jiāng qiáng dà yǐ jí de shén shí fàng le chū qù 。
林轩的眼神坚定以极，将强大以极的神识放了出去。
Lin Xuan's gaze was resolute as he released his powerful mental awareness.
guǒ rán ， jù dà de bào liè shēng chuán rù le shí hǎi lǐ 。
果然，巨大的爆裂声传入了识海里。
Sure enough, a tremendous explosion sounded in his mind.
zài jù lí cǐ dì yuē shí wàn lǐ 。 tiān dì yuán qì biàn dé hùn luàn yǐ jí ， bào liè shēng bù jué yú ěr duǒ ， nà zhǒng céng cì ， ruò shì zì jǐ méi yǒu gǎn yìng chū cuò ， jué duì shì yǒu dù jié jí bié de cún zài zài jiāo shǒu 。
在距离此地约十万里。天地元气变得混乱以极，爆裂声不绝于耳朵，那种层次，若是自己没有感应出错，绝对是有渡劫级别的存在在交手。
About ten million miles away, the primordial energy of heaven and earth became chaotic. The explosions never ceased; if he hadn't misjudged, there were definitely beings at the Transcendence stage battling here.
xiàng shì zhuō duì sī shā ， yí ， zhè dào yǒu xiē guài le ， ruò shì jīn yuè shī wáng jià lín cǐ chù ， chú fēi ā xiū luó wáng fù huó 。 fǒu zé yuè ér zhè biān ， yīng gāi méi yǒu rén néng gòu yǔ tā xiāng kàng héng de 。
像是捉对厮杀，咦，这倒有些怪了，若是金玥尸王驾临此处，除非阿修罗王复活。否则月儿这边，应该没有人能够与他相抗衡的。
It seemed like they were fighting in pairs, but this was strange. If Jinyue Corpse King arrived here, unless Ahriman King had resurrected, no one on Moon’s side should be able to match him.
nán dào yī jiù xiào zhōng yú yuè ér de yīn hún guǐ wù ， qí zhōng jū rán yǒu zhè ge jí bié de qiáng zhě ？
难道依旧效忠于月儿的阴魂鬼物，其中居然有这个级别的强者？
Could it be that among those still loyal to Moon, there are beings of this level?
tài bù kě sī yì le ， yào zhī dào nǎ pà shì pǔ tōng de dù jié hòu qī ， yě yuǎn yuǎn méi yǒu bàn fǎ xiàng bǐ 。 zhì shǎo yào yǒu nài lóng huò zhě bǎi huā xiān zi zhè ge děng jí ， cái néng yǔ yīn sī liù wáng yǒu yī zhàn zhī lì 。
太不可思议了，要知道哪怕是普通的渡劫后期，也远远没有办法相比。至少要有鼐龙或者百花仙子这个等级，才能与阴司六王有一战之力。
This was too incredible. Even a regular late-stage Transcendence would be far inferior. At least someone as powerful as Nai Long or Fairy Hundred Flowers would have a chance against the Six Kings of阴司.
tīng le lín xuān de fēn xī ， xìng ér de liǎn shàng què lù chū yī sī gǔ guài zhī sè ：“ shǎo zhǔ ， nǐ xiǎng duō le ， xiǎo bì suī rán shuō ， shī wáng de dà jūn lái dào le cǐ chù ， dàn bìng bù biǎo shì 。 jīn yuè shī wáng běn rén ， yě qīn shēn jià lín liǎo 。”
听了林轩的分析，杏儿的脸上却露出一丝古怪之色：“少主，你想多了，小婢虽然说，尸王的大军来到了此处，但并不表示。金玥尸王本人，也亲身驾临了。”
Lin Xuan listened to his analysis and noticed Dang Er’s expression turned slightly odd: "Young Master, you overthink it. While I agree that Jinyue Corpse King's army has arrived here, it doesn't mean he himself is present."
lín xuān xún shēng zhuǎn guò tóu lú ， xìng ér de shēng yīn ， jì xù wěi wěi chuán chū ：“ jīn yuè shī wáng suī guǎ qíng báo yì 。 dàn tā de shēn fèn què shí zūn chóng yǐ jí ， zěn me kě néng qīng yì jià lín zhè lǐ ， zhè shī wáng dà jūn ， duō bàn shì tā de shǒu xià dài guò lái dì 。”
林轩循声转过头颅，杏儿的声音，继续娓娓传出：“金玥尸王虽寡情薄意。但他的身份确实尊崇以极，怎么可能轻易驾临这里，这尸王大军，多半是他的手下带过来地。”
Lin Xuan turned his head as Dang Er continued: "Though Jinyue Corpse King may be cold-hearted, his status is extremely high; how could he easily arrive here? This army of炼尸 is likely brought by his subordinates."
“ yuán lái rú cǐ 。”
“原来如此。”
"Ah, I see."
lín xuān shū le kǒu qì 。 zhè cái zhī dào zì jǐ jiāng xíng shì kǎo lǜ dé tài guò jiān jù 。
林轩舒了口气。这才知道自己将形势考虑得太过艰巨。
Lin Xuan exhaled in relief. He realized the situation was more manageable than he had thought.
zhǐ yào shī wáng méi yǒu qīn shēn jià lín cǐ chù ， qí tā yī xiē dù jié jí bié de qiáng zhě 。 zì jǐ dǎo shì kě yǐ xiǎng bàn fǎ yìng fù 。
只要尸王没有亲身驾临此处，其他一些渡劫级别的强者。自己倒是可以想办法应付。
As long as Jinyue Corpse King didn't personally arrive, other Transcendence beings could be dealt with.
nǎo hǎi zhōng niàn tou zhuǎn guò ， lín xuān hún shēn qīng máng yì qǐ ， xiàng yuǎn chù nà tiān dì yuán qì bō dòng jù liè de dì fāng fēi le guò qù 。
脑海中念头转过，林轩浑身青芒一起，像远处那天地元气波动剧烈的地方飞了过去。
With this in mind, Lin Xuan’s body emitted a layer of green light and flew towards the area where the primordial energy fluctuations were intense.
ér lín xuān zhè me shě jìn qiú yuǎn ， zì rán shì yǒu zì jǐ kǎo liáng dì 。
而林轩这么舍近求远，自然是有自己考量地。
Lin Xuan's distant approach was deliberate. If his analysis was correct, this city might be Moon’s refuge. The situation wasn't dire, but it was indeed precarious.
yǎn qián de xiān chéng ruò shì méi yǒu nòng cuò ， kǒng pà jiù shì yuè ér de qī shēn zhī suǒ ， yī yǎn wàng qù ， xíng shì yě bù miào dào jí chù ， shuō jí jí kě wēi bìng bù suàn kuā zhāng le shén me 。
眼前的仙城若是没有弄错，恐怕就是月儿的栖身之所，一眼望去，形势也不妙到极处，说岌岌可危并不算夸张了什么。
Surrounding the city were countless阴魂鬼物, with numerous炼尸 of various ranks trying to breach the defenses.
zài tā de sì zhōu ， shì shù zhī bù jìn de yīn hún guǐ wù ， gè zhǒng děng jiē de liàn shī gèng shì shǔ bù shèng shǔ ， xiǎng yào jié jìn suǒ néng ， jiāng xiān chéng gōng pò 。
在它的四周，是数之不尽的阴魂鬼物，各种等阶的炼尸更是数不胜数，想要竭尽所能，将仙城攻破。
The scene was as described, but upon closer inspection, there was a subtle difference.
yī yǎn wàng qù ， qíng kuàng dà tǐ jiù shì zhè yàng méi cuò 。
一眼望去，情况大体就是这样没错。
On the surface, the city seemed on the brink of collapse. However, its禁制 was formidable, likely set up by Ahriman King. Therefore, despite the large number of enemies, they couldn't break through the禁制 in the short term. Moreover, there were cultivators inside who could hold out for a few more days with the禁制’s aid.
kě zǐ xì yī qiáo ， què huì fā xiàn qí zhōng de ào miào 。
可仔细一瞧，却会发现其中的奥妙。
Thus, even if Moon was indeed inside, he didn’t need to rush to her rescue immediately. Lin Xuan had learned to consider things from a broader perspective as a True Immortal.
biǎo miàn shàng ， xiān chéng yǐ wēi rú lěi luǎn ， kě shí jì shàng ， lǒng zhào tā de jìn zhì ， què shì fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， ruò shì zì jǐ méi yǒu liào cuò ， shí yǒu ** shì ā xiū luó wáng bù xià lái de 。
表面上，仙城已危如累卵，可实际上，笼罩它的禁制，却是非同小可，若是自己没有料错，十有**是阿修罗王布下来的。
The intense siege battle here was overshadowed by the fierce battles far away.
gù ér dí rén suī duō ， duǎn shí jiān nèi què gēn běn méi yǒu bàn fǎ jiāng jìn zhì gōng pò ， hé kuàng chéng zhōng yě yǒu xiū xiān zhě ， suī rán shù liàng ， yuǎn yuǎn méi yǒu bàn fǎ yǔ shī wáng dà jūn xiāng bǐ ， dàn yǒu jìn zhì fǔ zhù ， zài jiān chí gè sān wǔ tiān shì méi yǒu shén me wèn tí de 。
故而敌人虽多，短时间内却根本没有办法将禁制攻破，何况城中也有修仙者，虽然数量，远远没有办法与尸王大军相比，但有禁制辅助，再坚持个三五天是没有什么问题的。
At a certain level, the number of cultivators couldn't hide their differences in cultivation stages.
suǒ yǐ jí biàn yuè ér zhēn zài chéng lǐ ， zì jǐ yě méi yǒu bì yào máng zhe qián qù jiě wéi ， lín xuān yǐ fēi chū rù xiān dào de xiū xiān zhě ， dǒng de zuò shì qíng yào cóng quán jú kǎo lǜ 。
所以即便月儿真在城里，自己也没有必要忙着前去解围，林轩已非初入仙道的修仙者，懂得做事情要从全局考虑。
By eliminating the渡劫级别的阴魂鬼物, the crisis facing the仙城 would naturally be resolved.
bié kàn zhè ér de gōng chéng zhàn jī liè yǐ jí ， kě zhēn zhèng néng gòu yǐn dǎo jú miàn de què shì yuǎn chù nà jǐ chǎng jī liè de dòu fǎ 。
别看这儿的攻城战激烈以极，可真正能够引导局面的却是远处那几场激烈的斗法。
Lin Xuan understood this clearly and flew towards Dang Er without hesitation.
xiū xiān zhě de shí lì dào le yí dìng de děng jí ， jí biàn shù liàng yì hěn nán yǎn gài jìng jiè jiān de chā jù 。
修仙者的实力到了一定的等级，即便数量亦很难掩盖境界间的差距。
Ten million miles was unattainable for ordinary people. But with Lin Xuan's current abilities, it took only an instant to reach.
zhǐ yào néng gòu miè shā diào duì fāng dù jié jí bié de yīn hún guǐ wù ， xiān chéng suǒ yù dào de wēi jī ， zì rán néng gòu yíng rèn ér jiě 。
只要能够灭杀掉对方渡劫级别的阴魂鬼物，仙城所遇到的危机，自然能够迎刃而解。
Upon arrival, he saw a flurry of spiritual light and dark energy, various magical treasures flying everywhere. Several battle zones were in full swing, the fighting intense beyond measure.
lín xuān jiāng jú miàn kàn dé hěn qīng chǔ ， suǒ yǐ dài zhe xìng ér háo bù yóu yù de xiàng yuǎn chù fēi qù le 。
林轩将局面看得很清楚，所以带着杏儿毫不犹豫的像远处飞去了。
Sure enough, they were at the Transcendence stage!
shí wàn lǐ ， duì yú pǔ tōng rén lái shuō ， nà shì yáo bù kě jí ， dàn yǐ lín xuān rú jīn de shí lì ， dùn sù quán kāi ， huā fèi de shí jiān ， bù guò shì shùn xī 。
十万里，对于普通人来说，那是遥不可及，但以林轩如今的实力，遁速全开，花费的时间，不过是瞬息。
Lin Xuan released his mental awareness and even used Heavenly Phoenix Divine Eyes. He felt no other formidable enemies nearby and breathed a sigh of relief.
hěn kuài jiù dào le ， zhǐ jiàn qián fāng líng guāng kuáng shǎn ， yīn qì chōng tiān ， gè zhǒng fǎ bǎo zòng héng fēi wǔ ， yī dào dào guāng zhù chuān kōng ér guò ， jǐ chù zhàn tuán ， jiē zhēng dòu dé jī liè dào le jí chù 。
很快就到了，只见前方灵光狂闪，阴气冲天，各种法宝纵横飞舞，一道道光柱穿空而过，几处战团，皆争斗得激烈到了极处。
While Dang Er’s words made sense, Lin Xuan was still wary that Jinyue Corpse King might act unpredictably. If he did arrive here, he would need to plan how to ensure Moon's safety.
guǒ rán shì dù jié jí bié de ！
果然是渡劫级别的！
Fortunately, his concerns were unfounded; the old monster hadn’t come. So, Lin Xuan relaxed and began to focus on assessing the battle situation.
lín xuān jiāng shén shí fàng chū ， shèn zhì shī zhǎn chū le tiān fèng shén mù ， gǎn jué méi yǒu qí tā de qiáng dí huán shì zài cè ， tā bù yóu de sōng le kǒu qì 。
林轩将神识放出，甚至施展出了天凤神目，感觉没有其他的强敌环视在侧，他不由得松了口气。
There were five enemies.
suī rán xìng ér yán zhī yǒu lǐ ， dàn lín xuān yě dān xīn jīn yuè shī wáng shì bù ān cháng lǐ chū pái de rén wù ， jiǎ rú tā zhēn lái dào cǐ chù ， zì jǐ jiù yào chóu móu ， zěn me dài zhe yuè ér táo chū shēng tiān le 。
虽然杏儿言之有理，但林轩也担心金玥尸王是不安常理出牌的人物，假如他真来到此处，自己就要筹谋，怎么带着月儿逃出生天了。
All were Ghost Sage-level beings with varying cultivation stages—some at early stages, others mid-stage.
hǎo zài dān xīn shì duō yú ， nà lǎo guài wù bìng méi yǒu lái dào zhè lǐ ， yú shì lín xuān sōng le kǒu qì ， kāi shǐ jí zhōng jīng shén dǎ liàng yǎn qián de zhàn jú 。
好在担心是多余，那老怪物并没有来到这里，于是林轩松了口气，开始集中精神打量眼前的战局。
As for Ahriman King’s阴魂鬼物, there were nine in total. Four of them were also at the Transcendence stage, using their treasures or secret techniques to fight Jinyue Corpse King's four subordinates.
dí rén yǒu wǔ gè 。
敌人有五个。
The other five…
quán bù shì guǐ shèng jí bié de qiáng zhě 。
全部是鬼圣级别的强者。
Lin Xuan’s mental awareness swept over them, almost making him doubt his assessment. Those five were merely at the Spirit Dividing stage—peak Spirit Dividing—but compared to the old Transcendence monsters, their gap was enormous.
xiū wèi gè bù xiāng tóng ， yǒu de shì chū qī ， yǒu de shì zhōng qī 。
修为各不相同，有的是初期，有的是中期。
They weren’t just filling in gaps; they might have been sent here because Moon's side had insufficient high-ranking experts to block the powerful beings. Thus, only five Spirit Dividing-level阴魂鬼物 were dispatched.
zhì yú zhōng yú ā xiū luó wáng de yīn hún guǐ wù ， shù liàng zé gèng wéi zhòng duō ， jū rán yǒu jiǔ rén zhī duō 。
至于终于阿修罗王的阴魂鬼物，数量则更为众多，居然有九人之多。
Lin Xuan initially thought so, but his eyes widened as he scanned them. They faced a mid-stage old monster instead.
qí zhōng yǒu sì gè ， yě dōu shì dù jié jí bié de qiáng zhě ， huò jì chū bǎo wù ， huò shī zhǎn mì shù ， yǔ shī wáng de sì míng shǒu xià ， zhuō duì sī shā 。
其中有四个，也都是渡劫级别的强者，或祭出宝物，或施展秘术，与尸王的四名手下，捉对厮杀。
Shouldn’t weaker opponents be chosen if necessary?
rán ér lìng wài wǔ gè ……
然而另外五个……
Lin Xuan was both shocked and bewildered by this turn of events.
The scene was becoming increasingly awe-inspiring as one got closer.
Innumerable阴魂鬼物, like ants, surged towards the city in layers. The once majestic仙城 now resembled a small boat tossed about by surging waves, at any moment ready to capsize.
The number of炼尸 was even greater, and these were mindless puppets with no fear or awareness. Despite formidable禁制 within the city, they couldn't hold out for long either.

The little girl's voice was filled with anger, though fear could not be concealed: "Though this place is阴司地府, teeming with powerful beings, only Jinyue Corpse King would dare gather such a large army of炼尸."
"What?"
Lin Xuan sucked in a cold breath, his expression turning gravely serious. He was no fool to think he could match the Six Kings of阴司.
If Jinyue Corpse King were here, Moon’s safety would truly be at risk?
Lin Xuan sucked in another cold breath.
But despite his fear, there was no intention of retreating.
What if they couldn't defeat him?
Even if a True Immortal had come to this place, he would never allow anyone to harm Moon.
Even if it meant using the Five Dragon Seal, revealing the secret of the Blue Star Sea, or even perishing here, he must protect Moon.
Lin Xuan's gaze was resolute as he released his powerful mental awareness.
