zhè yī jī ruò shì bèi pāi zhōng le ， qín xīn děng jiù suàn bù yǔn luò ， yě bì jīn duàn gǔ zhé 。
这一击若是被拍中了，琴心等就算不陨落，也必筋断骨折。
If this strike hit, even if Qinxin and the others didn't perish, they would surely suffer broken bones and dislocated limbs.
shēn shòu zhòng shāng nà shì zài suǒ nán miǎn de 。
身受重伤那是在所难免的。
Severe injuries were inevitable.
yuǎn chù ， tiān xuán jiàn zūn de liǎn shàng guà zhe zhēng níng de xiào róng ， yī fù zhì dé yì mǎn zhī sè 。
远处，天璇剑尊的脸上挂着狰狞的笑容，一副志得意满之色。
From afar, Tianxuan Sword Sovereign's face wore a cruel smile, exuding a sense of satisfaction.
dāng nián ， zì jǐ huáng huáng rán rú tóng sàng jiā zhī quǎn ， rú jīn dà chóu dé bào ， zhè gǎn jué ， zì rán shì chàng kuài nán yán 。
当年，自己惶惶然如同丧家之犬，如今大仇得报，这感觉，自然是畅快难言。
Back then, he had been like a dog without a home, but now his greatest grudge was avenged. The feeling was indescribably exhilarating.
hēng hēng ， lín xiǎo zi ， dāng nián nǐ chà diǎn zhǎn shā yú wǒ ， rú jīn zuì qīn jìn de rén què rèn wǒ zǎi gē ， yī huì er huí lái ， nǐ huì fǒu hòu huǐ dé zuì běn zūn zhě 。
哼哼，林小子，当年你差点斩杀于我，如今最亲近的人却任我宰割，一会儿回来，你会否后悔得罪本尊者。
Hmph, Lin Xiaoer, you nearly killed me back then. Now your closest ones are at my mercy. When I return, will you regret offending this Sovereign?
yī xiǎng dào lín xuān tòng bù yù shēng de fèn nù ， tā jiù rěn bú zhù xiǎng yào hā hā dà xiào le 。
一想到林轩痛不欲生的愤怒，他就忍不住想要哈哈大笑了。
Just thinking of Lin Xuan's agony made him want to laugh maniacally.
kuài yì ēn chóu ！
快意恩仇！
Sweet revenge!
yōng yǒu lì liàng de gǎn jué shí zài shì rú yǐn chún jiǔ 。
拥有力量的感觉实在是如饮醇酒。
The feeling of having power was like sipping a fine wine.
wàng zhe nà jù dà de mó shǒu ， jǐ nǚ jiē qiào liǎn shī sè ， tài qiáng dà le ， rú jīn tā men gēn běn wú chǔ kě duǒ ， nán dào yào jǐn jiē yǔn luò yú cǐ chù ？
望着那巨大的魔手，几女皆俏脸失色，太强大了，如今她们根本无处可躲，难道要尽皆陨落于此处？
Looking at the massive demon hand, several girls' faces turned pale. It was too powerful; they had nowhere to hide. Would they all perish here?
nǎo hǎi zhōng niàn tou jí zhuǎn ， yín tóng shào nǚ de yǎn zhōng shǎn guò yī sī jué rán 。
脑海中念头急转，银瞳少女的眼中闪过一丝决然。
Thoughts raced through her mind as the silver-eyed girl's eyes flashed with determination.
tā hún shēn tū rán líng máng dà zuò ， bù jǐn méi yǒu xiàng hòu tuì kāi ， fǎn ér yíng zhe nà jù shǒu fēi le shàng lái 。
她浑身突然灵芒大做，不仅没有向后退开，反而迎着那巨手飞了上来。
Suddenly, she emitted an intense aura of spirit energy and didn't retreat but instead flew towards that giant hand.
“ shī jiě ！”
“师姐！”
"Sister Senior!"
ōu yáng qín xīn dà jīng 。
欧阳琴心大惊。
Ouyang Qinxin was shocked.
zhè me zuò ， jiǎn zhí yǔ zhǎo sǐ xiāng chà fǎng fú ， shī jiě jiū jìng dǎ suàn zuò shén me ？
这么做，简直与找死相差仿佛，师姐究竟打算做什么？
Doing this was like courting death. What did Sister Senior intend to do?
“ dì mèi ， yún yǐn zōng jiù jiāo gěi nǐ le ， nǐ men yí dìng yào hǎo hǎo de huó zhe 。”
“弟妹，云隐宗就交给你了，你们一定要好好的活着。”
"Junior sister, the Cloud Concealment Sect is entrusted to you. You must live well."
jī hū yǔ cǐ tóng shí ， tā de shí hǎi zhōng shōu dào le yī duàn chuán yīn 。
几乎与此同时，她的识海中收到了一段传音。
Almost simultaneously, she received a transmission in her mind.
diàn guāng shí huǒ ， ōu yáng qín xīn dùn shí míng bái duì fāng de dǎ suàn le ：“ shī jiě ， bù ……”
电光石火，欧阳琴心顿时明白对方的打算了：“师姐，不……”
In an instant, Ouyang Qinxin understood their plan: "Sister Senior, no..."
“ shǎ mèi mèi ， wǒ yí gè rén yǔn luò ， zǒng hǎo guò dà jiā yì qǐ sǐ de ， yún yǐn zōng néng yǒu jīn rì fēng guāng yǔ guī mó ， dōu shì lín shī dì de yuán gù ， zuò wèi dà zhǎng lǎo 。 wǒ bù néng jiāng zhè yī qiè shǒu hù ， dàn zhì shǎo ， yào jiāng shēng de xī wàng liú gěi nǐ men lái zhe 。”
“傻妹妹，我一个人陨落，总好过大家一起死的，云隐宗能有今日风光与规模，都是林师弟的缘故，做为大长老。我不能将这一切守护，但至少，要将生的希望留给你们来着。”
"Silly little sister, it's better for me to die alone than all of us together. The Cloud Concealment Sect's glory and scale are due to Lin Junior Brother. As the Grand Elder, I can't protect everything, but at least, I want you to have a chance to live."
bàn suí zhe jué rán de huà yǔ ， yín tóng shào nǚ de qì xī ， biàn dé kuáng bào yǐ jí 。 miàn duì zhè zhǒng qiáng dí ， dǎ ， dǎ bù guò ， duǒ ， yòu bù néng duǒ ， nà me wéi yī de fāng fǎ 。 jiù zhǐ shèng xià pīn mìng yī bó 。
伴随着决然的话语，银瞳少女的气息，变得狂暴以极。面对这种强敌，打，打不过，躲，又不能躲，那么唯一的方法。就只剩下拼命一搏。
With resolute words, the silver-eyed girl's aura became extremely violent. Facing such a formidable opponent, she couldn’t fight or dodge; her only option was to fight with all her might.
yòng zì jǐ de mìng ， lái jiāng zhè yī zhāo dǎng zhù ， zhè yàng de huà ， qín xīn yǔ qí tā jǐ gè ， jiù dōu ān quán le 。
用自己的命，来将这一招挡住，这样的话，琴心与其他几个，就都安全了。
Using her life to block this move would ensure Qinxin and the others' safety.
“ shī bó ……”
“师伯……”
"Senior Uncle..."
lín xuān de jǐ gè tú ér 。 yě dōu shì bīng xuě cōng míng de rén wù ， wén xián gē ér zhī yǎ yì ， jǐn jǐn shùn xī de gōng fu ， biàn míng bái yín tóng shào nǚ de dǎ suàn wèi hé 。
林轩的几个徒儿。也都是冰雪聪明的人物，闻弦歌而知雅意，仅仅瞬息的功夫，便明白银瞳少女的打算为何。
Lin Xuan’s disciples were also astute. They understood their senior sister's intentions in an instant.
yòu shì gǎn jī yòu shì fèn nù ！
又是感激又是愤怒！
They felt both gratitude and anger!
dàn zuì duō de ， hái shì nà wú lì de gǎn jué ， rú guǒ zì jǐ zài qiáng yì diǎn jiù hǎo le 。
但最多的，还是那无力的感觉，如果自己再强一点就好了。
But mostly, they felt powerless. If only I had been stronger...
rú guǒ shī fù zài cǐ chù ……
如果师傅在此处……
If Master was here...
dàn shì jiè shàng méi yǒu rú guǒ ， tiān xià yòu nǎ ér nà me duō qiǎo hé ， lín xuān zěn me kě néng gāng hǎo zài zhè jiē gǔ yǎn ér gǎn lái ne ？
但世界上没有如果，天下又哪儿那么多巧合，林轩怎么可能刚好在这节骨眼儿赶来呢？
But there are no coincidences in the world. How could Lin Xuan just happen to arrive at this critical moment?
qí jì zhī suǒ yǐ chēng zhī wèi qí jì 。 jiù shì yīn wèi ， nà bú shì suí shí suí dì kě yǐ fā shēng de 。
奇迹之所以称之为奇迹。就是因为，那不是随时随地可以发生的。
Miracles are called miracles because they don’t happen every day.
suǒ yǒu rén dōu jué wàng le ， lèi shuǐ mó hú le yǎn zhū ……
所有人都绝望了，泪水模糊了眼珠……
Everyone was despondent as tears blurred their vision...
rán ér jiù zài zhè shí 。 tiān kōng zhōng yǒu yī jī jīng léi huá guò 。
然而就在这时。天空中有一击惊雷划过。
Just then, a bolt of lightning streaked across the sky.
yuán běn qíng lǎng de tiān sè ， zhòu rán hūn àn xià lái le 。
原本晴朗的天色，骤然昏暗下来了。
The originally clear sky suddenly darkened.
xū kōng yǐ ròu yǎn kě jiàn de sù dù tā luò ， yī bái méng méng de kǒng dòng fú xiàn ér chū 。
虚空以肉眼可见的速度塌落，一白蒙蒙的孔洞浮现而出。
Void collapsed visibly, and a white hole appeared.
zhè shì …… kōng jiān xuán wō ， bù ， shuō chéng jiè miàn tōng dào gèng jiā de shì hé 。
这是……空间漩涡，不，说成界面通道更加的适合。
This... was a spatial vortex. More accurately, it should be called an interface portal.
jīng rén de fǎ zé zhī lì cóng lǐ miàn yī fàng ér chū ， yǔ zhī bàn suí de shì yī dào jīng hóng 。 fēng chí diàn chè ， rú qīng sè shǎn diàn yì bān 。 yóu xū kōng huá guò ， yī shǎn 。 biàn lái dào nà hēi sè jù shǒu de zhèng qián fāng le 。
惊人的法则之力从里面一放而出，与之伴随的是一道惊虹。风驰电掣，如青色闪电一般。由虚空划过，一闪。便来到那黑色巨手的正前方了。
Staggering rule power radiated from within, accompanied by a dazzling flash that zipped through the void, arriving directly in front of the black giant hand.
sī háo tíng xiē yě wú ， è hěn hěn zhuàng luò 。
丝毫停歇也无，恶狠狠撞落。
Without hesitation, it crashed into it with ferocity.
jù xiǎng shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， nà qiáng dà de jù shǒu ， jìng yǒu rú zhǐ hú ， qǐng kè jiān ， biàn bīng xiāo wǎ jiě diào le 。
巨响声传入耳朵，那强大的巨手，竟有如纸糊，顷刻间，便冰消瓦解掉了。
The loud noise echoed as the powerful hand crumbled like paper. It instantly disintegrated.
rú bīng xuě xiāo róng ， gěi tā rén de gǎn jué jìng shì wú bǐ cuì ruò 。
如冰雪消融，给他人的感觉竟是无比脆弱。
It felt incredibly fragile.
zhè zěn me kě néng ne ？
这怎么可能呢？
How could this be?
suǒ yǒu rén jiē dèng dà le yǎn zhū 。
所有人皆瞪大了眼珠。
Everyone's eyes widened.
biàn gù lái de tài guò xùn sù 。
变故来得太过迅速。
The change was too sudden; they barely had time to react before it ended.
dà jiā shèn zhì lái bù jí fǎn yìng jiù yǐ jié shù 。
大家甚至来不及反应就已结束。
The silver-eyed girl, who had prepared to self-destruct her essence core, was stunned... Was she saved?
yǐ zhǔn bèi zì bào yuán yīng de yín tóng shào nǚ bù yóu de lèng zhù …… dé jiù le ？
已准备自爆元婴的银瞳少女不由得愣住……得救了？
She still couldn't believe what she saw. Was it a coincidence or...
tā hái yǒu diǎn bù xiāng xìn yǎn qián de yí mù ， shì qiǎo hé ， hái shì ……
她还有点不相信眼前的一幕，是巧合，还是……
"Senior Sister, sorry, I'm late."
“ shī jiě ， bù hǎo yì sī ， wǒ lái wǎn le 。”
“师姐，不好意思，我来晚了。”
Only when the familiar voice reached her ears did she confirm that she wasn’t dreaming.
zhí dào shú xī de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， yín tóng shào nǚ cái kěn dìng bú shì zì jǐ zài zuò mèng 。
直到熟悉的声音传入耳朵，银瞳少女才肯定不是自己在做梦。
"Junior Brother, you... You really came back."
“ shī dì ， nǐ …… nǐ zhēn huí lái le 。”
“师弟，你……你真回来了。”
"Wife!"
“ fū jūn ！”
“夫君！”
"Mentor!"
……
……
The other girls' exclamations confirmed her realization; they were all cultivators and couldn't possibly share a hallucination together.
ěr biān hái chuán lái qí yú jǐ rén de jīng hū ， ràng yín tóng shào nǚ què dìng zì jǐ méi yǒu nòng cuò ， bì jìng dà jiā dōu shì xiū xiān zhě ， bù kě néng yì qǐ chǎn shēng huàn jué de 。
耳边还传来其余几人的惊呼，让银瞳少女确定自己没有弄错，毕竟大家都是修仙者，不可能一起产生幻觉的。
Several girls rushed to Lin Xuan's side. They had thought luck was distant, but it turned out to be right in front of them.
hū lā yī shēng ， jǐ nǚ dōu wéi dào le lín xuān de shēn qián ， yuán běn yǐ wéi xìng yùn huì hěn yáo yuǎn ， méi xiǎng dào què jìn zài yǎn qián 。
呼啦一声，几女都围到了林轩的身前，原本以为幸运会很遥远，没想到却近在眼前。
Lin Xuan returned to the sect’s main hall. With him here, nothing to fear, not even the域外天魔.
lín xuān huí dào le zōng mén zǒng duò ， nà bù guǎn yǒu duō shǎo yù wài tiān mó ， bù guǎn yǒu zěn yàng wǒ wēi xiǎn ， yī qiè dōu bù yòng pà le 。
林轩回到了宗门总舵，那不管有多少域外天魔，不管有怎样我危险，一切都不用怕了。
From afar, cheers echoed as cultivators were keenly aware. Despite their panic, they noticed the change.
yuǎn chù ， yě tóng yàng chuán lái le huān hū ， xiū xiān zhě jiē shì ěr cōng mù míng de rén wù ， cǐ kè suī yǒu xiē zhāng huáng shī cuò ， dàn yě dōu zhù yì dào le zhè biān de biàn gù 。
远处，也同样传来了欢呼，修仙者皆是耳聪目明的人物，此刻虽有些张皇失措，但也都注意到了这边的变故。
"Senior Lin is back!"
“ lín zhǎng lǎo huí zōng le ！”
“林长老回宗了！”
"It's really Senior Lin!"
“ zhēn shì lín shī bó ！”
“真是林师伯！”
"That's great! Grandmaster's return will surely rout all demons. It’s our turn to counterattack."
“ tài hǎo le ， shī zǔ yī huí ， qún mó bì wàng fēng pī mǐ ， jiē xià lái gāi lún dào wǒ men yún yǐn zōng fǎn jī 。”
“太好了，师祖一回，群魔必望风披靡，接下来该轮到我们云隐宗反击。”
...
……
……
The Cloud Concealment Sect's morale, which had dropped to an all-time low, began to rise rapidly.
yī shí jiān ， yún yǐn zōng yuán běn yǐ jīng diē luò dào bīng diǎn dī shì qì ， kāi shǐ xùn sù huí shēng le qǐ lái 。
一时间，云隐宗原本已经跌落到冰点的士气，开始迅速回升了起来。
This was no surprise; Lin Xuan was always revered by the sect members. Though he spent little time in the main hall, he created countless legends.
zhè bù xī qí ， lín xuān yì zhí shì yún yǐn zōng xiū shì mó bài de rén wù ， tā zài zōng mén nèi de shí jiān suī rán bù duō ， dàn què chuàng zào le tài duō tài duō de chuán shuō 。
这不稀奇，林轩一直是云隐宗修士膜拜的人物，他在宗门内的时间虽然不多，但却创造了太多太多的传说。
To him, miracles were as common as everyday life. In stories about Lin Xuan, he was overwhelmingly powerful and invincible.
qí jì duì tā lái shuō ， gēn běn jiù yǔ jiā cháng biàn fàn xiāng chà fǎng fú ， zài yǔ lín xuān yǒu guān de gù shì lǐ ， tā dōu shì qiáng dà dào le jí chù ， shuō zhàn wú bù shèng yě méi yǒu rèn hé kuā zhāng zhī chù 。
奇迹对他来说，根本就与家常便饭相差仿佛，在与林轩有关的故事里，他都是强大到了极处，说战无不胜也没有任何夸张之处。
Perhaps some cultivators had doubted his strength before, but recent news reported that Senior Lin had defeated all rivals to become the leader of the Immortal Alliance.
yǐ qián huò xǔ hái yǒu xiū shì huái yí ， zài xīn zhōng dí gū ， jué de lín xuān de shí lì bèi kuā dà le ， kě bù jiǔ qián chuán lái xiāo xī ， lín xuān lín shī zǔ ， lì yā qún xióng ， chéng wéi le xiān dào méng zhī zhǔ 。
以前或许还有修士怀疑，在心中嘀咕，觉得林轩的实力被夸大了，可不久前传来消息，林轩林师祖，力压群雄，成为了仙道盟之主。
This couldn't be exaggerated. If not for extraordinary abilities, how could he defeat those ancient monsters?
zhè yì diǎn kě bù huì hán hú 。
这一点可不会含糊。
So the rumors weren’t overstated; Senior Lin was indeed very formidable.
lín shī zǔ ruò fēi chāo fán tuō shì ， yǒu tiān dà de shén tōng ， zěn me kě néng dǎ bài cóng sì miàn bā fāng yún jí de lǎo guài wù 。
林师祖若非超凡脱世，有天大的神通，怎么可能打败从四面八方云集的老怪物。
With him here, what could they fear?
suǒ yǐ chuán yán bìng méi yǒu kuā dà zhī chù ， lín shī zǔ dàng zhēn fēi cháng de liǎo de 。
所以传言并没有夸大之处，林师祖当真非常的了得。
No matter how many域外天魔 there were, they were just insignificant clowns. With this mindset, the cultivators no longer chose to retreat but instead engaged in fierce combat with the域外天魔.
yǒu tā zài ， hái pà shén me 。
有他在，还怕什么。
"This..."
yù wài tiān mó zài duō ， yě bù guò shì tiào liáng xiǎo chǒu ， bào zhe zhè yàng de xiǎng fǎ ， zhòng xiū shì bù zài xuǎn zé tuì zǒu ， ér shì dà hū hān zhàn ， yǔ yù wài tiān mó shā zuò le yī tuán 。
域外天魔再多，也不过是跳梁小丑，抱着这样的想法，众修士不再选择退走，而是大呼酣战，与域外天魔杀做了一团。
The sudden change froze Tianxuan Sword Sovereign's smile; he couldn't believe what he saw.
“ zhè ……”
“这……”
How could this be?
biàn gù lái de tài tū rán ， tiān xuán jiàn zūn de xiào róng jiāng zhù ， jī hū bù gǎn xiāng xìn yǎn qián suǒ kàn dào de yí mù 。
变故来得太突然，天璇剑尊的笑容僵住，几乎不敢相信眼前所看到的一幕。
His intelligence was clear—Lin Xuan was far from the Cloud Concealment Sect. Even with rapid flight and portal assistance, it would take at least a day to arrive here.
zěn me kě néng ne ？
怎么可能呢？
How could he get here so quickly?
tā de qíng bào fēi cháng qīng chǔ ， lín xuān jù lí yún yǐn zōng hái fēi cháng yuǎn de ， jiù suàn dùn guāng zài xùn sù ， qiě yǔ gè xiān chéng jiān de chuán sòng zhèn pèi hé ， zhì shǎo yě xū yào yī tiān de gōng fu 。
他的情报非常清楚，林轩距离云隐宗还非常远的，就算遁光再迅速，且与各仙城间的传送阵配合，至少也需要一天的功夫。
This defied logic or was simply impossible.
zěn me kě néng zhè me kuài jiù lái dào zhè lǐ le ？
怎么可能这么快就来到这里了？
Tianxuan Sword Sovereign's expression turned extremely grim.
zhè bù fú hé cháng lǐ ， huò zhě shuō bù kě sī yì 。
这不符合常理，或者说不可思议。
His plan to avenge Lin Xuan was meticulously laid out but caught him off guard. Man plans, but God laughs.
tiān xuán jiàn zūn de liǎn sè biàn dé nán kàn yǐ jí 。
天璇剑尊的脸色变得难看以极。
His mood plummeted.
tā bào fù lín xuān de jì huà shí fēn yán mì ， rán ér cǐ kè ， què bèi dǎ le gè cuò shǒu bù jí ， rén suàn bù rú tiān suàn 。
他报复林轩的计划十分严密，然而此刻，却被打了个措手不及，人算不如天算。
As for Lin Xuan,
tā de xīn qíng yì jiàng dào le bīng diǎn 。
他的心情亦降到了冰点。
He heaved a sigh of relief. A hair’s breadth made all the difference; if he had returned any later, Lin Xuan couldn’t imagine the outcome.
zài shuō lín xuān 。
再说林轩。
Fortunately, it was still not too late.
cǐ kè què shì dà sōng le yì kǒu qì ， chā zhī háo lí miù yǐ qiān lǐ ， rú guǒ zì jǐ huí lái zài shāo wǎn yī xiē ， lín xuān bù gǎn xiǎng xiàng jié guǒ 。
此刻却是大松了一口气，差之毫厘谬以千里，如果自己回来再稍晚一些，林轩不敢想象结果。
Lin Xuan looked at his enemy in front.
hǎo zài ， yī qiè dōu hái lái de jí 。
好在，一切都还来得及。
With his keen eyesight, he saw clearly but showed astonishment on his face.
lín xuān xiàng zhe qián fāng de dí rén wàng qù 。
林轩向着前方的敌人望去。
"Tianxuan Sword Sovereign!"
yǐ tā de yǎn lì zì rán kàn de qīng chǔ ， dàn liǎn shàng què suí zhī lù chū le è rán zhī sè 。
以他的眼力自然看得清楚，但脸上却随之露出了愕然之色。
Lin Xuan almost thought he was seeing things. This guy had died under his hands a thousand years ago; how could he have come back to life and become a域外天魔, even reaching late-stage cultivation?
“ tiān xuán jiàn zūn ！”
“天璇剑尊！”
(To be continued)
Danger!
If this strike hit, even if Qinxin and the others didn't perish, they would surely suffer broken bones and dislocated limbs.
Severe injuries were inevitable.
From afar, Tianxuan Sword Sovereign's face wore a cruel smile, exuding a sense of satisfaction.
Back then, he had been like a dog without a home, but now his greatest grudge was avenged. The feeling was indescribably exhilarating.
Hmph, Lin Xiaoer, you nearly killed me back then. Now your closest ones are at my mercy. When I return, will you regret offending this Sovereign?
Just thinking of Lin Xuan's agony made him want to laugh maniacally.
Sweet revenge!
The feeling of having power was like sipping a fine wine.
...
Looking at the massive demon hand, several girls' faces turned pale. It was too powerful; they had nowhere to hide. Would they all perish here?
Thoughts raced through her mind as the silver-eyed girl's eyes flashed with determination.
Suddenly, she emitted an intense aura of spirit energy and didn't retreat but instead flew towards that giant hand.
"Sister Senior!"
Ouyang Qinxin was shocked.
Doing this was like courting death. What did Sister Senior intend to do?
"Junior sister, the Cloud Concealment Sect is entrusted to you. You must live well."
Almost simultaneously, she received a transmission in her mind.
In an instant, Ouyang Qinxin understood their plan: "Sister Senior, no..."
"Silly little sister, it's better for me to die alone than all of us together. The Cloud Concealment Sect's glory and scale are due to Lin Junior Brother. As the Grand Elder, I can't protect everything, but at least, I want you to have a chance to live."

Using her life to block this move would ensure Qinxin and the others' safety.
"Senior Uncle..."
"No!"
Lin Xuan’s disciples were also astute. They understood their senior sister's intentions in an instant.
They felt both gratitude and anger!
But mostly, they felt powerless. If only I had been stronger...
If Master was here...
But there are no coincidences in the world. How could Lin Xuan just happen to arrive at this critical moment?
Miracles are called miracles because they don’t happen every day.
Everyone was despondent as tears blurred their vision...
Boom!
Just then, a bolt of lightning streaked across the sky.
The originally clear sky suddenly darkened.
Void collapsed visibly, and a white hole appeared.
This... was a spatial vortex. More accurately, it should be called an interface portal.
Staggering rule power radiated from within, accompanied by a dazzling flash that zipped through the void, arriving directly in front of the black giant hand.
