yī lüè dài jīng yà de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ：“ qū qū yī dòng xuán jí bié de xiǎo jiā huo ， jū rán néng fā xiàn lǎo fū de xíng jì ， zhè dào lìng rén yǒu xiē jīng qí ， kàn nǐ de yàng mào ， yīng gāi shì chū shēng yú ā xiū luó yī zú ， mò fēi shēn shàng hái yǒu yuǎn gǔ líng yá de xuè tǒng ， fǒu zé shén shí jué bù kě néng mǐn ruì dào zhè bān chéng dù 。”
一略带惊讶的声音传入耳朵：“区区一洞玄级别的小家伙，居然能发现老夫的行迹，这倒令人有些惊奇，看你的样貌，应该是出生于阿修罗一族，莫非身上还有远古灵牙的血统，否则神识绝不可能敏锐到这般程度。”
A surprised voice entered his ears: "This little fellow of the Void Profound Realm, actually managed to discover my whereabouts. This is rather surprising. Judging by your appearance, you must be from the Asura clan. Could there still be traces of ancient spirit teeth in your bloodline? Otherwise, your divine consciousness wouldn't be this sharp."
huà yīn wèi luò ， zhǐ jiàn qián fāng shù yú zhàng yuǎn líng guāng yī shǎn ， yī xíng mào zhēng níng de lì guǐ yìng rù yǎn lián 。
话音未落，只见前方数余丈远灵光一闪，一形貌狰狞的厉鬼映入眼帘。
Before he could finish speaking, a ghastly figure appeared several dozen feet ahead, its appearance terrifying and grotesque.
hún shēn shàng xià ， qì xī jiē wú ， gèng bú jiàn bàn diǎn líng yā shì fàng ér chū 。
浑身上下，气息皆无，更不见半点灵压释放而出。
Despite his surroundings being devoid of any aura or pressure, the mere glance from the ghoul made Fly Tooth feel as if he had fallen into an icy pit. His body shivered with cold.
kě fēi yá jǐn jǐn yǔ tā duì shì yī yǎn ， jiù gǎn jué rú diào rù le bīng kū lǐ miàn ， hún shēn fā hán 。
可飞牙仅仅与他对视一眼，就感觉如掉入了冰窟里面，浑身发寒。
"Could it be a Tribulation Period?"
“ nán dào shì dù jié qī ？”
“难道是渡劫期？”
Fly Tooth's face was filled with shock; he couldn't believe that despite the Asura King’s protective barriers, someone could sneak into the city silently. However, such thoughts were now meaningless. The ghoul had clearly come to harm the king.
fēi yá de liǎn shàng mǎn shì hài rán zhī yì ， jué de bù kě sī yì ， wài miàn ， míng míng yǒu ā xiū luó wáng qīn shǒu liú xià lái de jìn zhì shǒu hù ， duì fāng zěn me kě néng wú shēng wú xī de qián rù chéng lǐ 。
飞牙的脸上满是骇然之意，觉得不可思议，外面，明明有阿修罗王亲手留下来的禁制守护，对方怎么可能无声无息的潜入城里。
Fly Tooth's fate hung in the balance if captured by this ghoul, but his mind remained focused on the king's safety. Thus, his first reaction was a deep breath, trying to let out a loud cry to attract the attention of other guards.
rán ér rú jīn zài tàn jiū zhè xiē yǐ méi yǒu le yì yì 。
然而如今再探究这些已没有了意义。
But just as he did so, an icy snort entered his ears. Though not loud, it struck Fly Tooth like lightning, causing a searing pain in his mind’s eye. His intended cry was cut short before it could escape.
duì fāng qiāo wú shēng xī de lái dào zhè lǐ ， xiǎn rán shì xiǎng yào duì wáng bù lì 。
对方悄无声息的来到这里，显然是想要对王不利。
"Such a loyal little fellow. But today, my purpose is to take the Asura King's head. You can't spoil my plans."
fēi yá luò zài duì fāng de shǒu lǐ ， yì wēi zài dàn xī ， rán ér duì zì jǐ de chǔ jìng tā gēn jiù méi yǒu zài yì ， wáng de ān wēi cái shì zuì zhòng yào dì 。
飞牙落在对方的手里，亦危在旦夕，然而对自己的处境他根就没有在意，王的安危才是最重要地。
Before the ghoul finished speaking, ripples of space appeared beside him. A blade of about a foot in length flashed and struck Fly Tooth’s head with lightning speed, taking it off silently.
gù ér tā dì yī fǎn yìng jiù shì shēn shēn hū xī ， xiǎng yào cháng xiào yǐn lái qí tā shǒu wèi de zhù yì 。
故而他第一反应就是深深呼吸，想要长啸引来其他守卫的注意。
The ghoul’s wife, Yellow River Ghost Mother, spoke coldly: "Fool, what's the point of arguing with a Void Profound Realm little fellow? You shouldn't risk delaying things."
kě jiù zài zhè shí ， yī shēng bīng lěng de hēng shēng ， què shì shí chuán rù le ěr lǐ ， shēng yīn suī rán bù dà ， fēi yá què rú zāo léi jī ， shí hǎi shēn chù ， rú sī liè yì bān de téng ， gāng dào zuǐ biān de xiào shēng jiá rán ér zhǐ ， gēn jiù wèi néng chuán chū qù 。
可就在这时，一声冰冷的哼声，却适时传入了耳里，声音虽然不大，飞牙却如遭雷击，识海深处，如撕裂一般的疼，刚到嘴边的啸声戛然而止，根就未能传出去。
"Yellow River Ghost Mother is indeed speaking."
“ hǎo yí gè zhōng xīn de xiǎo jiā huo ， bù guò lǎo fū jīn tiān lái dào cǐ chù ， mù dì jiù shì qǔ ā xiū luó wáng de tóu lú ， zěn me néng ràng nǐ huài le wǒ de hǎo shì 。”
“好一个忠心的小家伙，不过老夫今天来到此处，目的就是取阿修罗王的头颅，怎么能让你坏了我的好事。”
The ghoul showed signs of embarrassment but didn’t dare to argue. The two Tribulation Period monsters continued their concealment and drew closer to Moon’s abode.
yōu guǐ huà yīn wèi luò ， tā shēn cè què kōng jiān bō dòng zhòu qǐ 。
幽鬼话音未落，他身侧却空间波动骤起。
...
yī mǒ chǐ xǔ zhǎng de dāo guāng àn dàn yǐ jí ， què rú shǎn diàn yì bān de xùn jí ， wú shēng wú xī ， yǐ qǔ xià le nà fēi yá de tóu lú 。
一抹尺许长的刀光黯淡以极，却如闪电一般的迅疾，无声无息，已取下了那飞牙的头颅。
Lin Xuan was unaware of these events, but for some reason, his mood grew increasingly agitated. He couldn't put into words the feeling he had; it made him feel anxious as if something bad was about to happen. Yet, he had already checked with divine consciousness and found that the siege was still in full swing, so Moon should be safe.
duì fāng sǐ bù míng mù 。 huáng quán guǐ mǔ bīng lěng de shēng yīn chuán guò lái le ：“ chǔn huò ， yǔ yī dòng xuán jí bié de xiǎo jiā huo ， yǒu shén me hǎo luō suo ， nǐ jiù bù pà dān gē jiǔ le ， yǐn lái biàn gù 。”
对方死不瞑目。黄泉鬼母冰冷的声音传过来了：“蠢货，与一洞玄级别的小家伙，有什么好啰嗦，你就不怕耽搁久了，引来变故。”
Why then did he keep sensing danger?
“ tīng nà shēng yīn ， zhèng shì huáng quán guǐ mǔ 。”
“听那声音，正是黄泉鬼母。”
Lin Xuan didn’t know. He was extremely agitated.
yōu guǐ liǎn shàng lù chū yī sī gān gà zhī sè ， què bù gǎn huán zuǐ biàn bó ， liǎng míng dù jié qī lǎo guài wù ， jì xù shī zhǎn yǐn nì zhī shù 。 yuè fā jiē jìn le yuè ér de qī shēn zhī suǒ 。
幽鬼脸上露出一丝尴尬之色，却不敢还嘴辩驳，两名渡劫期老怪物，继续施展隐匿之术。越发接近了月儿的栖身之所。
---
……
……
He couldn't stay here any longer; he must go see for himself.
zhè yī qiè ， lín xuān bìng bù xiǎo de ， rán ér bù zhī dào wèi shén me ， tā xīn qíng yuè lái yuè fán zào le 。
这一切，林轩并不晓得，然而不知道为什么，他心情越来越烦躁了。
The saying goes: "Worrying makes one confused."
nà zhǒng gǎn jué wú fǎ yán shù ， zǒng zhī jué de xīn huāng huāng de 。 jiù fǎng fú yǒu shén me bù hǎo de shì qíng yào fā shēng le ， kě zì jǐ míng míng yòng shén shí chá tàn guò ， gōng chéng zhàn yī jiù rú huǒ rú tú ， chéng chí jì wèi bèi gōng pò ， zhè zhǒng qíng shì xià ， àn lǐ shuō ， yuè ér shì bù yīng gāi huì yù jiàn wēi xiǎn 。
那种感觉无法言述，总之觉得心慌慌的。就仿佛有什么不好的事情要发生了，可自己明明用神识查探过，攻城战依旧如火如荼，城池既未被攻破，这种情势下，按理说，月儿是不应该会遇见危险。
Although logically speaking, Lin Xuan believed that Yue'er wasn’t likely to be in danger, he decided to check as soon as possible. Better safe than sorry, given the unpredictable nature of the cultivation world.
kě xīn tóu líng zhào wèi hé huì pín fán chū xiàn ？
可心头灵兆为何会频繁出现？
But leaving was not so easy. The two Tribulation Period monsters before him were far more formidable than the previous Fat Monarch. Even with Mingen’s help, it would take some time to defeat them both.
lín xuān bù xiǎo de 。 tā xīn fán yì luàn dào jí chù 。
林轩不晓得。他心烦意乱到极处。
If these powerful enemies couldn’t be dealt with quickly, Mingen wouldn’t last long and wouldn’t even manage a brief delay.
bù xíng ， zì jǐ bì xū qù kàn yī kàn 。
不行，自己必须去看一看。
Indeed, people have varying degrees of loyalty; for Moon's sake, Lin Xuan could disregard the girl’s fate. However, if Mingen fell, it would mean the end of another battlefront. The remaining five ghosts in Yutang would be left with only three, all loyal to Moon, and their defeat would mean the loss of the city.
sú huà shuō ， guān xīn zé luàn 。
俗话说，关心则乱。
Lin Xuan couldn’t bear such a result.
suī rán jiù qíng lǐ ér yán ， lín xuān jué de 。 yuè ér bù tài kě néng yù jiàn wēi xiǎn ， dàn tā hái shì jué dìng jǐn kuài qù kàn yī kàn 。
虽然就情理而言，林轩觉得。玥儿不太可能遇见危险，但他还是决定尽快去看一看。
The key was that he wasn't certain about the danger Moon faced; he could only suspect but not be sure. Thus, he struggled to make a decision.
bù pà yī wàn jiù pà wàn yī ， bì jìng xiū xiān jiè guāng guài lù lí ， fā shēng shén me bù kě yù liào de wēi xiǎn 。 yě bú shì bù kě néng dì 。
不怕一万就怕万一，毕竟修仙界光怪陆离，发生什么不可预料的危险。也不是不可能地。
His indecision described his current state perfectly.
lín xuān bù xiǎng mào xiǎn 。
林轩不想冒险。
But this wouldn’t do.
kě xiǎng yào chōu shēn lí kāi ， què bìng méi yǒu zhè me róng yì 。
可想要抽身离开，却并没有这么容易。
With his divided attention, he couldn’t leave easily.
cǐ kè suǒ miàn duì de liǎng míng dù jié jí bié de lǎo guài wù 。 bǐ xiān qián de tiān féi zūn zhě ， hái yào nán duì fù dé duō ， zì jǐ suī yǒu míng xuě xiāng zhù ， dàn yī shí piàn kè ， yě wú fǎ jiāng tā men liǎng rén miè chú 。
此刻所面对的两名渡劫级别的老怪物。比先前的天肥尊者，还要难对付得多，自己虽有冥雪相助，但一时片刻，也无法将他们两人灭除。
Moon’s fate remained unknown.
qiáng dí de shí lì jì rán fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， nà zì jǐ lí kāi yǐ hòu ， míng xuě gēn dǐ dǎng bú zhù ， lián shāo shāo tuō yán yě zuò bú dào de 。
强敌的实力既然非同小可，那自己离开以后，冥雪根抵挡不住，连稍稍拖延也做不到的。
To solve this problem, the only way was to quickly defeat these two powerful enemies.
chéng rán ， rén yǒu yuǎn jìn qīn shū ， wèi le yuè ér ， lín xuān kě yǐ bù guǎn cǐ nǚ de sǐ huó ， kě míng xuě yí dàn yǔn luò ， lìng wài yī chù zhàn tuán de jié jú yě jiù kě xiǎng ér zhī le 。
诚然，人有远近亲疏，为了月儿，林轩可以不管此女的死活，可冥雪一旦陨落，另外一处战团的结局也就可想而知了。
Lin Xuan’s mind made up, he no longer hesitated. His gaze was firm as a stone, and an aura of fear-inducing killing intent surged from his body.
dào shí hòu yōu tán wǔ guǐ hái shèng sān gè ， zhōng yú yuè ér de dù jié qī cún zài què quán bù yǔn luò ， zhè yī zhàng yě jiù chè dǐ shū le ， chéng chí yě wú fǎ shǒu zhù 。
到时候幽谭五鬼还剩三个，忠于月儿的渡劫期存在却全部陨落，这一仗也就彻底输了，城池也无法守住。
He took a deep breath, and immense spiritual power flowed through his meridians.
ér zhè zhǒng jié guǒ ， shì lín xuān wú lùn rú hé bù kě yǐ kàn dào de 。
而这种结果，是林轩无论如何不可以看到的。
"Let me remind you once more; if you surrender now, it's not too late."
guān jiàn shì ， duì yú xīn tóu líng zhào ， tā jǐn jǐn shì huái yí ， bù gǎn kěn dìng ， yuè ér jiù yí dìng yù xiǎn le ， suǒ yǐ ， lín xuān yě nán yǐ zuò chū jué zé ， zhè zhǒng qíng kuàng xià ， bù hǎo jué dìng gāi zěn me zuò 。
关键是，对于心头灵兆，他仅仅是怀疑，不敢肯定，月儿就一定遇险了，所以，林轩也难以做出抉择，这种情况下，不好决定该怎么做。
Lin Xuan’s low voice echoed in their ears.
zuǒ yòu wéi nán shì duì lín xuān cǐ kè xīn qíng zuì hǎo de miáo shù 。
左右为难是对林轩此刻心情最好的描述。
Non-combat resolution was the best option; time saved couldn’t be measured in miles.
dàn zhè yàng xià qù ， kěn dìng shì bù xíng de 。
但这样下去，肯定是不行的。
---
zì jǐ fēn shēn fá shù ， bù néng qīng yì lí kāi zhè lǐ 。
自己分身乏术，不能轻易离开这里。
Even knowing that the chances were slim, Lin Xuan still decided to try.
yuè ér yě bù zhī dào shì fǒu yù jiàn wēi xiǎn le 。
月儿也不知道是否遇见危险了。
But he didn’t get a satisfactory result. The Fiery Ghost sneered: "A little fellow who talks big, truly has no sense of life and death. How about you beg for mercy like us?"
xiǎng yào pò jiě zhè ge nán tí ， wéi yī de fāng fǎ jiù shì kuài diǎn miè shā yǎn qián de liǎng míng qiáng dí 。
想要破解这个难题，唯一的方法就是快点灭杀眼前的两名强敌。
"Ah!"
lín xuān nǎo hǎi zhōng niàn tou zhuǎn guò ， yǐ jiāng sī xù lǐ qīng chǔ ， zài qíng shì wèi míng de qíng kuàng xià ， zhè shì zuì wèi míng zhì de xuǎn zé 。
林轩脑海中念头转过，已将思绪理清楚，在情势未明的情况下，这是最为明智的选择。
Lin Xuan sighed; an aura as solid as reality emanated from his body. "You will regret your refusal."
yī niàn zhì cǐ ， lín xuān yě bù zài yóu yù ， yǎn shén jiān dìng wú bǐ ， hún shēn shàng xià ， gèng pēn bó chū lìng rén xīn jì de shā qì 。
一念至此，林轩也不在犹豫，眼神坚定无比，浑身上下，更喷薄出令人心悸的杀气。
His murmured words seemed to be a self-reminder.
tā shēn shēn hū xī ， qiáng dà yǐ jí de fǎ lì ， shùn zhe jīng mài liú dòng bù yǐ 。
他深深呼吸，强大以极的法力，顺着经脉流动不已。
Before he could finish speaking, Lin Xuan clenched his hands, and a sharp sword technique appeared. As he moved, the Nine Palaces Musty Sword’s light surged, greatly enhancing its power. The few pieces of treasure that had been holding him back were shattered by the surging light.
“ lín mǒu zài shuō yī cì ， nǐ men xiàn zài shù shǒu jiù fù ， hái lái de jí 。”
“林某再说一次，你们现在束手就缚，还来得及。”
"Impossible!"
lín xuān dī chén de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ 。
林轩低沉的声音传入耳朵。
The Fiery Ghost and another ghost were shocked; disbelief showed on their faces. Those treasures weren’t theirlife treasure (life-prolonging treasures), but they still had immense power, known in ancient relics. They were easily destroyed.
néng gòu bù zhàn ér qū rén zhī bīng shì zuì hǎo de ， bié de bù tí ， jié shěng de shí jiān ， bù kě yǐ dào lǐ jì 。
能够不战而屈人之兵是最好的，别的不提，节省的时间，不可以道里计。
Could it be that he didn't use his true strength just now?
suǒ yǐ míng zhī dào xī wàng bù dà ， lín xuān yī jiù jué dìng cháng shì 。
所以明知道希望不大，林轩依旧决定尝试。
This thought made both of them shiver with fear.
rán ér què bìng méi yǒu dé dào lìng rén mǎn yì de jié guǒ ， yán guǐ lěng xiào de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ：“ dà yán bù cán de xiǎo jiā huo ， zhēn shì bù zhī sǐ huó ， bù rú nǐ xiàng wǒ men kē tóu qiú ráo rú hé ？”
然而却并没有得到令人满意的结果，炎鬼冷笑的声音传入耳朵：“大言不惭的小家伙，真是不知死活，不如你像我们磕头求饶如何？”
In contrast, Mingen’s face showed great joy. A sharp cry echoed, and the skulls’ eyes glowed red as they chomped their mouths, spitting out strange winds and demonic flames.
“ āi ！”
“唉！”
The black and white wind transformed into a dual-headed monster dragon that roared hoarsely, thrashing its head and tail towards them.
lín xuān tàn xī ， hún shēn shàng xià ， mào chū rú yǒu shí zhì dì shā qì ：“ nǐ men jù jué wǒ yī fān hǎo yì ， zǒng yǒu yī tiān huì hòu huǐ dì 。”
林轩叹息，浑身上下，冒出如有实质的杀气：“你们拒绝我一番好意，总有一天会后悔地。”
"Break it!"
tā nán nán de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， fǎng fú zài zì yán zì yǔ 。
他喃喃的声音传入耳朵，仿佛在自言自语。
Lin Xuan shouted loudly.
huà yīn wèi luò ， lín xuān shuāng shǒu yī wò ， yī dào xī lì de jiàn jué fú xiàn ér chū ， suí zhe tā de dòng zuò ， jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn líng guāng dà zuò ， wēi néng zài yī shùn jiān bào zhǎng xǔ duō ， yuán yǔ tā xiāng chí bǐ dòu de jǐ jiàn fǎ bǎo ， jū rán bèi bèi líng guāng dà shèng de jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn jiǎo chéng fěn suì le 。
话音未落，林轩双手一握，一道犀利的剑诀浮现而出，随着他的动作，九宫须臾剑灵光大做，威能在一瞬间暴涨许多，原与他相持比斗的几件法宝，居然被被灵光大盛的九宫须臾剑搅成粉碎了。
The Nine Palaces Musty Sword’s light flashed in the air before vanishing, replaced by countless sword threads visible to the naked eye. Each was over ten feet long and extremely thin, slicing through the air like a storm of arrows, falling upon their targets...
yán guǐ yǔ lìng wài yī míng guǐ wù dà jīng shī sè ， liǎn shàng dōu lù chū bù néng zhì xìn zhī sè 。
炎鬼与另外一名鬼物大惊失色，脸上都露出不能置信之色。
New week, please vote for recommendation tickets; I really need them! Yue'er is about to make her appearance, let’s look forward together. Phantom Rain will do my best, please vote for recommendation tickets!
nà jǐ jiàn fǎ bǎo suī fēi tā men de mìng bǎo wù ， dàn wēi lì yě shì fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， zài gǔ bǎo zhōng yě suàn míng qì bù xiǎo zhī wù ， jū rán zhè me qīng yì jiù bèi duì fāng huǐ qù le 。
那几件法宝虽非他们的命宝物，但威力也是非同小可，在古宝中也算名气不小之物，居然这么轻易就被对方毁去了。
(PS: New chapter, seeking recommendation votes!)
"Hey?"
A surprised voice entered his ears: "This little fellow of the Void Profound Realm, actually managed to discover my whereabouts. This is rather surprising. Judging by your appearance, you must be from the Asura clan. Could there still be traces of ancient spirit teeth in your bloodline? Otherwise, your divine consciousness wouldn't be this sharp."

"Yellow River Ghost Mother is indeed speaking."
