tiān mó nǐ róng shù guǒ rán shén qí 。 bìng méi yǒu rén kàn chū yì hǔ yǐ bèi bié rén dài tì 。
天魔拟容术果然神奇。并没有人看出易虎已被别人代替。
The Demonic Heaven Mimicry Technique truly proved its magic. No one noticed that Easy Tiger had been replaced.
suī rán lù shàng yě pèng jiàn le jǐ gè xiāng shú dé guǐ xiū 。 dàn lín xuān dōu yǒu jīng wú xiǎn dé yìng fù le guò qù 。 bì jìng tā yǐ jīng dú qǔ le zhè dǎo méi jiā huo dé jì yì 。
虽然路上也碰见了几个相熟得鬼修。但林轩都有惊无险得应付了过去。毕竟他已经读取了这倒霉家伙得记忆。
Although he encountered a few familiar ghost cultivators on the way, Lin Xuan managed to handle them without any major issues. After all, he had already accessed this unfortunate individual's memories.
bàn zhù xiāng yǐ hòu 。 lín xuān zhōng yú lái dào le shān gǔ 。 sì zhōu dōu shì dǒu qiào dé xuán yá jué bì 。 bù guò zhōng jiān dé kòng dì què shí fēn kuān chǎng 。 yuē yǒu shù lǐ 。 zài zhōng xīn wèi zhì 。 yǒu yī zuò gāo tái 。 ér gāo tái shàng miàn 。 xiǎng bì jiù shì chuán sòng zhèn le 。
半柱香以后。林轩终于来到了山谷。四周都是陡峭得悬崖绝壁。不过中间得空地却十分宽敞。约有数里。在中心位置。有一座高台。而高台上面。想必就是传送阵了。
After half an incense stick, Lin Xuan finally arrived at the valley. The surroundings were steep cliffs and sheer walls, but there was a spacious open area in the middle, about several miles wide. At the center of this area stood a high platform, which likely contained the teleportation array.
lín xuān jiāng shén shí fàng chū 。 lüè wēi guān chá le yī xià 。 guǒ rán bù jiǎ 。
林轩将神识放出。略微观察了一下。果然不假。
Lin Xuan released his divine sense to inspect it briefly. Sure enough, the information from Moon's intelligence was correct. The teleportation array was small, with a diameter of only one meter and had aged considerably over time, appearing quite dilapidated. However, Lin Xuan was delighted to find that the damaged parts had been carefully repaired. Several light blue earth attribute crystal stones were embedded in its blind spots.
nà chuán sòng zhèn hěn xiǎo 。 zhí jìng bù guò yī mǐ 。 lì jīng le suì yuè cāng sāng 。 xiǎn de shí fēn pò jiù 。 bù guò ràng lín xuān xīn xǐ dé shì 。 yuè ér dé qíng bào guǒ rán méi cuò 。 chuán sòng zhèn pò sǔn dé dì fāng 。 dōu yǐ jīng xiǎo xīn dé xiū hǎo 。 zài tā dé sǐ jiǎo 。 hái xiāng qiàn le jǐ kuài dàn lán sè dé tǔ shǔ xìng jīng shí 。
那传送阵很小。直径不过一米。历经了岁月沧桑。显得十分破旧。不过让林轩欣喜得是。月儿得情报果然没错。传送阵破损得地方。都已经小心得修好。在它得死角。还镶嵌了几块淡蓝色得土属性晶石。
This indicated that the array had already undergone adjustments; it could be used immediately once the correct spell was inserted.
zhè biǎo shì 。 cǐ zhèn yǐ jīng jīng guò le tiáo shì 。 zhǐ yào zhù rù fǎ jué 。 lì kè jiù néng gòu shǐ yòng 。
这表示。此阵已经经过了调试。只要注入法诀。立刻就能够使用。
Below the high platform was an incomplete array. Compared to the ancient teleportation array, this simpler one covered a much wider area—over a hundred meters in diameter.
ér zài gāo tái xià miàn 。 zé shì yí gè shàng wèi wán chéng dé zhèn fǎ 。 yǔ gǔ chuán sòng zhèn xiǎng bǐ 。 zhè ge zhèn fǎ yào jiǎn dān dé duō 。 rán ér zhàn dì zhī guǎng 。 què dào le jīng rén dé dì bù 。 zhí jìng zú yǒu bǎi yú zhàng 。
而在高台下面。则是一个尚未完成得阵法。与古传送阵想比。这个阵法要简单得多。然而占地之广。却到了惊人得地步。直径足有百余丈。
Nearby, there were piles of materials like iron mother crystals and jade, with several ghost cultivators busy repairing them.
zhèn fǎ páng biān 。 duī jī le tiě mǔ jīng yù děng wéi shù bù shǎo dé cái liào 。 qī bā gè guǐ xiū 。 zhèng máng lù dé xiū fù 。
阵法旁边。堆积了铁母晶玉等为数不少得材料。七八个鬼修。正忙碌得修复。
Looking at the large array before him, Lin Xuan's eyebrows slightly raised. With its size, it could simultaneously transport thousands of people without any problem.
wàng zhuó yǎn qián dé dà zhèn 。 lín xuān méi tóu wēi tiāo 。 yǐ tā dé miàn jī 。 tóng shí chuán sòng shù qiān rén yě méi yǒu wèn tí 。
望着眼前得大阵。林轩眉头微挑。以它得面积。同时传送数千人也没有问题。
Apart from the ghost cultivators repairing the array, numerous yin souls were also wandering around, serving as both guards and watchers. There were dozens of these yin souls, including two ghost kings.
chú le xiū fù zhèn fǎ dé guǐ xiū 。 hái yǒu bù shǎo yīn hún zài yī páng yóu dàng 。 kě yǐ shuō shì jǐng jiè 。 tóng yàng yě néng lǐ jiě wèi jiān shì 。 zhè xiē yīn hún zú yǒu shù shí gè zhī duō 。 ér lǐ miàn 。 gèng yǒu liǎng gè guǐ wáng jí bié dé gāo shǒu 。
除了修复阵法得鬼修。还有不少阴魂在一旁游荡。可以说是警戒。同样也能理解为监视。这些阴魂足有数十个之多。而里面。更有两个鬼王级别得高手。
Even with just a slight release of his divine sense, Lin Xuan understood everything happening in the valley. The other enemies posed no significant threat; it was those two ghost kings that were troublesome. As long as he could eliminate them, there would be no difficulty in teleporting out.
lín xuān zhǐ shì jiāng shén shí lüè wēi fàng chū 。 jiù jiāng shān gǔ nèi dé qíng xíng liǎo jiě dé yì qīng èr chǔ 。 qí tā dí rén dōu hǎo shuō 。 jiù nà liǎng gè guǐ wáng yǒu xiē jí shǒu 。 zhǐ yào jiāng tā men miè le 。 chuán sòng chū qù yīng gāi méi yǒu shén me nán dù 。
林轩只是将神识略微放出。就将山谷内得情形了解得一清二楚。其他敌人都好说。就那两个鬼王有些棘手。只要将它们烕了。传送出去应该没有什么难度。
While silently contemplating this, Lin Xuan began to repair the array like the other ghost cultivators. He had studied the璇玑心得 a bit, though only superficially due to time constraints. However, repairing such simple arrays was relatively easy.
lín xuān yī biān zài xīn zhōng mò mò dé xiǎng zhe 。 yī biān rú qí tā guǐ xiū yī yàng kāi shǐ xiū bǔ zhèn fǎ 。《 xuán jī xīn dé 》 tā yě duō shǎo céng yán jiū guò yì diǎn 。 suī rán yóu yú shí jiān yǒu xiàn 。 jǐn shì lüè tōng pí máo 。 bù guò zuò xiū bǔ zhèn fǎ zhè zhǒng jiǎn dān dé shì qíng 。 hái shì hěn róng yì 。
林轩一边在心中默默得想着。一边如其他鬼修一样开始修补阵法。《璇玑心得》他也多少曾研究过一点。虽然由于时间有限。仅是略通皮毛。不过做修补阵法这种简单得事情。还是很容易。
Lin Xuan wasn't in a rush; he waited for the best opportunity to act.
lín xuān bù jí 。 děng dài zhe zuì hǎo dé dòng shǒu shí jī 。
林轩不急。等待着最好得动手时机。
However, the yin souls were extremely cunning and highly alert. Lin Xuan couldn't find an opening until nearly an hour had passed. His brow furrowed as time continued to pass. If he didn’t act soon, the Demonic Heaven Mimicry Technique would become ineffective.
rán ér yīn hún jiǎo huá yǐ jí 。 jǐng tì xìng hěn gāo 。 lín xuān yì zhí dōu méi yǒu zhǎo dào jī huì chū shǒu 。
然而阴魂狡猾以极。警惕性很高。林轩一直都没有找到机会出手。
As they say, you can’t catch a wolf without risking your child. It seemed some risks were inevitable.
shí jiān màn màn liú shì 。 hěn kuài 。 yí gè shí chén jiù yào guò qù le 。 lín xuān méi tou yí zhòu 。 ruò zài bù dòng shǒu 。 tiān mó nǐ róng shù kě jiù yào shī xiào 。
时间慢慢流逝。很快。一个时辰就要过去了。林轩眉头一皱。若再不动手。天魔拟容术可就要失效。
Just as one yin soul approached him for patrol, Lin Xuan's expression turned fierce. He exhaled a grayish sword light that pierced through the ghost’s chest. Then, he quickly flew towards the high platform...
sú huà shuō shě bù dé hái zi tào bù zhe láng 。 kàn lái yī xiē fēng xiǎn hái shì dé mào 。
俗话说舍不得孩子套不着狼。看来一些风险还是得冒。
At the same time, he flipped his hand and pulled out numerous talismans. Without any wind, countless ice needles and flames erupted—these were ordinary human-grade talismans with limited killing power but enough to create some chaos.
yǎn kàn yí gè yīn hún xún luó dào zì jǐ shēn biān 。 lín xuān yǎn zhōng lì sè yī shǎn 。 kǒu yī zhāng 。 pēn chū yī dào huī méng méng dé jiàn guāng 。 guàn chuān le cǐ lì guǐ dì xiōng táng 。 rán hòu shēn xíng yī huǎng 。 fēi xiàng le nà gāo tái ……
眼看一个阴魂巡逻到自己身边。林轩眼中厉色一闪。口一张。喷出一道灰蒙蒙得剑光。贯穿了此厉鬼地胸膛。然后身形一晃。飞向了那高台……
"Traitors!"
tóng shí shǒu yī fān 。 yī dà bǎ fú lù yǐ bèi tā qǔ le chū lái 。 wú fēng zì rán 。 wú shù dé bīng zhuī huǒ yàn 。 zhè xiē dōu shì pǔ tōng dé rén jiē fú lù 。 shā shāng lì yǒu xiàn 。 dàn hái shì é kě yǐ zhì zào diǎn hùn luàn 。
同时手一翻。一大把符箓已被他取了出来。无风自然。无数得冰锥火焰。这些都是普通得人阶符箓。杀伤力有限。但还是额可以制造点混乱。
"Quickly, defend the high platform."
“ yǒu jiān xì ！”
“有奸细！”
A strong gust of wind accompanied by eerie ghost cries filled the air as these yin souls and ghost creatures immediately rushed towards the ancient teleportation array on the high platform.
“ kuài 。 shǒu zhù gāo tái 。”
“快。守住高台。”
For them, protecting this ancient array was their top priority; they needed to prevent it from being destroyed.
yīn fēng dà qǐ 。 jiā zá zhe qī lì dé guǐ kū 。 zhè xiē yīn hún guǐ wù dào yě xùn liàn yǒu sù 。 lì kè fèn bù gù shēn dé xiàng nà gǔ chuán sòng zhèn suǒ zài dé gāo tái pū guò qù le 。
阴风大起。夹杂着凄厉得鬼哭。这些阴魂鬼物倒也训练有素。立刻奋不顾身得像那古传送阵所在得高台扑过去了。
Even the two ghost kings took similar actions.
duì tā men lái shuō 。 dì yī yào wù 。 jiù shì bǎo hù hǎo zhè ge gǔ chuán sòng zhèn 。 fáng zhǐ bèi bié rén pò huài le 。
对它们来说。第一要务。就是保护好这个古传送阵。防止被别人破坏了。
Speaking of these two ghost kings, they had also ingested凝聚魄丹, giving them实体. However, unlike the few in Yan Chou Valley, they did not transform into strange shapes but appeared like true humans.
bāo kuò liǎng gè guǐ wáng 。 yě shì tóng yàng dé dòng zuò 。
包括两个鬼王。也是同样得动作。
One was an elderly man with white hair and a beard, while the other looked like a middle-aged壮汉. Despite their ghostly aura, it revealed that they were yin souls.
shuō qǐ zhè liǎng gè guǐ wáng 。 yě shì fú yòng le jù pò dān 。 cóng ér yōng yǒu le shí tǐ 。 rán ér yǔ yàn chóu gǔ dì jǐ gè jiā huo bù tóng 。 tā men méi yǒu biàn dé guài mó guài yàng 。 fǎn ér jiù xiàng shì zhēn zhèng dé rén lèi yī yàng 。
说起这两个鬼王。也是服用了聚魄丹。从而拥有了实体。然而与燕仇谷地几个家伙不同。它们没有变得怪模怪样。反而就像是真正得人类一样。
The ghost king who resembled the old man had the deepest cultivation; he moved swiftly to the edge of the high platform. However, upon looking around, there was no sign of the traitor. His expression darkened.
qí zhōng yí gè 。 shì bái xū bái méi dé lǎo zhě 。 lìng wài yí gè 。 zé shì zhōng nián zhuàng hàn dé mú yàng 。 bù guò hún shēn guǐ qì 。 bào lù le tā men nǎi yīn hún zhī tǐ 。
其中一个。是白须白眉得老者。另外一个。则是中年壮汉得模样。不过浑身鬼气。暴露了它们乃阴魂之体。
"Don't worry, he won’t escape."
nà lǎo zhě mú yàng dé guǐ wáng xiū wèi zuì shēn 。 shēn xíng huǎng le jǐ huǎng jiù lái dào le gāo tái dé biān shàng 。 rán ér mù guāng suǒ jí 。 què gēn běn méi yǒu nà jiān xì dé shēn yǐng 。 biǎo qíng bù yóu yī chén 。
那老者模样得鬼王修为最深。身形晃了几晃就来到了高台得边上。然而目光所及。却根本没有那奸细得身影。表情不由一沉。
A soft and melodious voice came from the wind. Then, Lin Xuan saw a beautiful young woman's figure. This yin soul girl had deeper cultivation than him.
“ bù yòng dān xīn 。 tā pǎo bù liǎo 。”
“不用担心。他跑不了。”
"Who are you?"
fēng zhōng chuán lái jiāo róu yuè ěr dé shēng yīn 。 rán hòu tā kàn jiàn le yí gè měi lì shào nǚ dé qiàn yǐng 。 zhè shào nǚ yě shì yīn hún 。 ér qiě xiū wèi zhī shēn 。 bù zài zì jǐ zhī xià 。
风中传来娇柔悦耳得声音。然后它看见了一个美丽少女得倩影。这少女也是阴魂。而且修为之深。不再自己之下。
The old man’s face showed surprise. Clearly, only two ghost kings were on duty in this valley; how did another one appear?
“ nǐ shì ？” lǎo zhě dé liǎn shàng liú lù chū yī sī chà yì 。 zài zhè shān gǔ lǐ 。 míng míng zhǐ yǒu liǎng wèi guǐ wáng lún zhí 。 zěn me yòu duō chū lái yí gè ？
“你是？”老者得脸上流露出一丝诧异。在这山谷里。明明只有两位鬼王轮值。怎么又多出来一个？
"I am a newly admitted disciple of the Heavenly King of Ghosts, and my mentor heard about the incident here, so I came to check."
“ wǒ nǎi hào tiān guǐ dì xīn shōu dì qīn chuán dì zǐ 。 ēn shī tīng shuō zhè ér fā shēng le biàn gù 。 ràng wǒ lái chá kàn yī xià 。”
“我乃昊天鬼帝新收地亲传弟子。恩师听说这儿发生了变故。让我来查看一下。”
"What? The Emperor of Ghosts is already aware?" The old man was shocked. He didn’t expect that this situation was completely unreasonable. No matter how powerful the Emperor of Ghosts might be, he couldn't predict the future.
“ shén me 。 guǐ dì bì xià yǐ jīng zhī dào le ？” lǎo zhě dà jīng shī sè 。 què méi xiǎng dào zhè gēn běn jiù bù hé qíng lǐ 。 guǐ dì zài shén tōng guǐ dà 。 yě jué méi yǒu wèi bǔ xiān zhī dé běn lǐng 。
“什么。鬼帝陛下已经知道了？”老者大惊失色。却没想到这根本就不合情理。鬼帝再神通鬼大。也绝没有未卜先知得本领。
But Moon had already approached silently and unnoticed by the old man. It wasn’t expecting an attack from a ghost king, especially one as respected as a yin soul.
yuè ér què yǐ jīng qiāo wú shēng xī dé yǔ tā jiē jìn 。 lǎo zhě bìng méi yǒu fáng bèi 。 tā men zhǐ shì bù xìn rèn rén lèi 。 zhè shào nǚ shēn wèi guǐ wáng zhī zūn 。 zì rán méi yǒu shì pàn tú dé kě néng 。
月儿却已经悄无声息得与它接近。老者并没有防备。它们只是不信任人类。这少女身为鬼王之尊。自然没有是叛徒得可能。
However, an unexpected turn of events occurred. Moon acted without warning. A black light flashed, and a thin sword pierced through its opponent.
rán ér yì wài zhòu qǐ 。 yuè ér zài tā méi yǒu fáng bèi dé qíng kuàng xià dòng shǒu le 。 hēi máng yī shǎn 。 yī dào xiān xì dé jiàn guāng jiāng duì fāng guàn chuān 。
然而意外骤起。月儿在它没有防备得情况下动手了。黑芒一闪。一道纤细得剑光将对方贯穿。
Then, with a snap of her fingers, greenish-black yin fire danced on her delicate white palms, enveloping the severely injured ghost king's body.
rán hòu shuāng shǒu yī pāi 。 bì lǜ sè dé yīn huǒ zài bái yù bān dì xiān zhǎng shàng tiào dòng qǐ lái 。 hū dé yī xià bāo guǒ zhù guǐ wáng zhòng shāng dé qū tǐ 。
然后双手一拍。碧绿色得阴火在白玉般地纤掌上跳动起来。忽得一下包裹住鬼王重伤得躯体。
In the yin fire, the old man let out an extremely painful cry filled with hatred. However, even if he tried to use any supernatural abilities, it was too late. Moon took out the Beast Soul Banner...
yīn huǒ zhōng 。 chuán lái lǎo zhě qī lì yǐ jí dé cǎn jiào 。 mǎn liǎn yuàn dú 。 rán ér tā jí shǐ xiǎng shī zhǎn shén me shén tōng yě dōu yǐ jīng wǎn le 。 yuè ér jiāng shòu hún fān qǔ le chū lái ……
阴火中。传来老者凄厉以极得惨叫。满脸怨毒。然而他即使想施展什么神通也都已经晚了。月儿将兽魂幡取了出来……
With its severe injuries, it had no chance of recovery and soon disintegrated into nothingness. The remaining soul energy was absorbed by the demonic banner.
yǐ jīng zhòng shāng dé tā dé huí tiān fá shù 。 hěn kuài jiù bèi dǎ dé hún fēi pò sàn 。 cán yú dé líng hún néng liàng yě bèi xī rù le mó fān 。
已经重伤得它得回天乏术。很快就被打得魂飞魄散。残余得灵魂能量也被吸入了魔幡。
The surrounding yin souls were stunned. With two ghost kings fighting each other, they didn't know what to do or how to proceed.
zhōu wéi dé yīn hún mù dèng kǒu dāi 。 liǎng wèi guǐ wáng nèi hòng 。 ràng tā men yǒu xiē wú suǒ shì cóng 。 bù zhī dào gāi zěn me bàn 。
周围得阴魂目瞪口呆。两位鬼王内讧。让它们有些无所适从。不知道该怎么办。
On the other side, Lin Xuan also ended his battle. He eliminated the ghost king that resembled a middle-aged壮汉. Although the opponent had formidable abilities, Lin Xuan could have won in a one-on-one fight but would have needed more effort. However, he first created chaos and then used his secret technique to hide his form and attack from the side.
ér lìng yī biān 。 lín xuān tóng yàng jié shù le zhàn dòu 。 miè le nà zhuàng hàn mú yàng dé guǐ wáng 。 běn lái yǐ duì fāng dé shén tōng 。 dān dǎ dú dòu 。 lín xuān suī rán zuì hòu yě néng yíng 。 dàn duō shǎo què yào fèi yī fān shǒu jiǎo 。 rán ér lín xuān xiān shì zhì zào hùn luàn 。 rán hòu jiù shī zhǎn le yǐn nì shēn xíng dì mì fǎ 。 cáng zài yī páng tōu xí 。
而另一边。林轩同样结束了战斗。灭了那壮汉模样得鬼王。本来以对方得神通。单打独斗。林轩虽然最后也能赢。但多少却要费一番手脚。然而林轩先是制造混乱。然后就施展了隐匿身形地秘法。藏在一旁偷袭。
Fortunately for him, he also held碧鳞针, a flying needle-type treasure. Even without considering its power, it was perfect for attacking yin souls. Coupled with good luck, he succeeded on his first strike.
qià hǎo tā shǒu zhōng yòu yǒu bì lín zhēn 。 zhè zhǒng fēi zhēn lèi dì fǎ bǎo 。 wēi lì rú hé zàn qiě bù shuō 。 yòng yú tōu xí yīn rén jué duì shì bǎi fēn bǎi dé hǎo yòng 。 jiā shàng lín xuān yùn qì yě bù cuò 。 jié guǒ yī jī chéng gōng 。
恰好他手中又有碧鳞针。这种飞针类地法宝。威力如何暂且不说。用于偷袭阴人绝对是百分百得好用。加上林轩运气也不错。结果一击成功。
Taking advantage of the opponent's injuries, Lin Xuan summoned the Floating Cloud Snowfall Sword and Soul Mirror, using them to quickly eliminate the ghost king.
chèn zhe duì fāng shòu shāng 。 lín xuān jiāng piāo yún luò xuě jiàn 。 shè líng jìng děng gǔ bǎo yī gǔ nǎo dì jì chū 。 yòng zuì duǎn dé shí jiān jiāng qí miè diào 。
趁着对方受伤。林轩将飘云落雪剑。摄灵镜等古宝一股脑地祭出。用最短得时间将其灭掉。
Now, although there were still dozens of fierce spirits and ghost cultivators left in the valley, their most formidable ones were only at the foundation stage.
cǐ kè 。 zhěng gè shān gǔ 。 suī rán shèng xià dì xiōng hún lì pò yǐ jí guǐ xiū hái yǒu shù shí zhī duō 。 dàn zuì lì hài dé 。 yě bù guò shì zhù jī qī dì xiū wèi le 。
此刻。整个山谷。虽然剩下地凶魂厉魄以及鬼修还有数十之多。但最厉害得。也不过是筑基期地修为了。
Without a leader, these yin souls and ghost cultivators became panic-stricken. Some cleverer ones tried to escape. Lin Xuan sneered; he wouldn’t let them go for help.
qún lóng wú shǒu 。 zhè xiē yīn hún guǐ xiū dùn shí xiǎn de jīng huáng shī cuò 。 yě yǒu tóu nǎo jī líng dé xiàng wài pǎo 。 lín xuān yī shēng lěng xiào 。 zì rán bú huì fàng tā men qù bān jiù bīng 。
群龙无首。这些阴魂鬼修顿时显得惊惶失措。也有头脑机灵得像外跑。林轩一声冷笑。自然不会放他们去搬救兵。
With a wave of his sleeve, several colorful array flags flew out. After a few puffs, the extremely evil spirit array enveloped the entire valley. Lin Xuan was prepared to trap these enemies like fish in a pot.
xiù páo yī fú 。 shù gān wǔ yán liù sè dé zhèn qí fēi lüè ér chū 。 pū pū pū 。 jǐ shēng xiǎng yǐ hòu 。 jí yīn è líng zhèn yǐ jīng lǒng zhào le shān gǔ 。 lín xuān shì zhǔn bèi wèng zhōng zhuō biē le 。
袖袍一拂。数杆五颜六色得阵旗飞掠而出。噗噗噗。几声响以后。极阴恶灵阵已经笼罩了山谷。林轩是准备瓮中捉鳖了。
Although teleportation was simple, there was one condition: it couldn’t be interrupted during the journey, or space would distort. At that point, not only would he, a mere condensation of essence cultivator, die; even an old monster at the core stage would perish. Therefore, he first cleared all the troublesome yin souls and ghost cultivators out of his way.
The Demonic Heaven Mimicry Technique truly proved its magic. No one noticed that Easy Tiger had been replaced.
Although he encountered a few familiar ghost cultivators on the way, Lin Xuan managed to handle them without any major issues. After all, he had already accessed this unfortunate individual's memories.
After half an incense stick, Lin Xuan finally arrived at the valley. The surroundings were steep cliffs and sheer walls, but there was a spacious open area in the middle, about several miles wide. At the center of this area stood a high platform, which likely contained the teleportation array.
Lin Xuan released his divine sense to inspect it briefly. Sure enough, the information from Moon's intelligence was correct. The teleportation array was small, with a diameter of only one meter and had aged considerably over time, appearing quite dilapidated. However, Lin Xuan was delighted to find that the damaged parts had been carefully repaired. Several light blue earth attribute crystal stones were embedded in its blind spots.
This indicated that the array had already undergone adjustments; it could be used immediately once the correct spell was inserted.
Below the high platform was an incomplete array. Compared to the ancient teleportation array, this simpler one covered a much wider area—over a hundred meters in diameter.
Nearby, there were piles of materials like iron mother crystals and jade, with several ghost cultivators busy repairing them.
Looking at the large array before him, Lin Xuan's eyebrows slightly raised. With its size, it could simultaneously transport thousands of people without any problem.

At the same time, he flipped his hand and pulled out numerous talismans. Without any wind, countless ice needles and flames erupted—these were ordinary human-grade talismans with limited killing power but enough to create some chaos.
"Traitors!"
"Quickly, defend the high platform."
A strong gust of wind accompanied by eerie ghost cries filled the air as these yin souls and ghost creatures immediately rushed towards the ancient teleportation array on the high platform.
For them, protecting this ancient array was their top priority; they needed to prevent it from being destroyed.

On the other side, Lin Xuan also ended his battle. He eliminated the ghost king that resembled a middle-aged壮汉. Although the opponent had formidable abilities, Lin Xuan could have won in a one-on-one fight but would have needed more effort. However, he first created chaos and then used his secret technique to hide his form and attack from the side.
Fortunately for him, he also held碧鳞针, a flying needle-type treasure. Even without considering its power, it was perfect for attacking yin souls. Coupled with good luck, he succeeded on his first strike.
Taking advantage of the opponent's injuries, Lin Xuan summoned the Floating Cloud Snowfall Sword and Soul Mirror, using them to quickly eliminate the ghost king.
Now, although there were still dozens of fierce spirits and ghost cultivators left in the valley, their most formidable ones were only at the foundation stage.
Without a leader, these yin souls and ghost cultivators became panic-stricken. Some cleverer ones tried to escape. Lin Xuan sneered; he wouldn’t let them go for help.
With a wave of his sleeve, several colorful array flags flew out. After a few puffs, the extremely evil spirit array enveloped the entire valley. Lin Xuan was prepared to trap these enemies like fish in a pot.
Although teleportation was simple, there was one condition: it couldn’t be interrupted during the journey, or space would distort. At that point, not only would he, a mere condensation of essence cultivator, die; even an old monster at the core stage would perish. Therefore, he first cleared all the troublesome yin souls and ghost cultivators out of his way.
