“ āi , xiàn zài shuō zhè xiē yòu yǒu shén me yòng tú , shuí néng xiǎng dào sān jiè jìng huì tóng shí yíng lái zhè yàng de zāi huò , rú jīn jiù suàn yǒu gé jiè chuán sòng zhèn yì méi yǒu yòng tú , yī xiǎo dì suǒ jiàn wǒ men hái shì qián wǎng yún yǐn zōng jiào wéi wěn tuǒ 。” bái miàn lǎo zhě mǎn liǎn chóu chú , dàn zuì hòu hái shì tàn le yì kǒu qì de kāi kǒu le 。
“唉,现在说这些又有什么用途,谁能想到三界竟会同时迎来这样的灾祸,如今就算有隔界传送阵亦没有用途,依小弟所见我们还是前往云隐宗较为稳妥。”白面老者满脸踌躇,但最后还是叹了一口气的开口了。
"Alas, what use is it to talk about this now? Who could have thought that the Three Realms would face such calamities at once. Even with a boundary-crossing teleportation array, there's no point in using it now. In my humble opinion, we should head to Cloud Concealment Sect," said the white-faced elder, his expression full of hesitation, but he ultimately sighed and spoke.
“ qián wǎng yún yǐn zōng ?” bái fà lǎo yù de liǎn shàng lù chū bù jiě zhī sè :“ kě nà lǐ zhēn bèi yù wài tiān mó wéi kùn zhe 。”
“前往云隐宗?”白发老妪的脸上露出不解之色:“可那里真被域外天魔围困着。”
"Head to Cloud Concealment Sect?" The white-haired old woman looked puzzled. "But isn't that place under siege by域外天魔?"
“ zhè wǒ zì rán qīng chǔ , kě gāi pài de zǒng duò bú shì bìng méi yǒu bèi gōng pò ?”
“这我自然清楚,可该派的总舵不是并没有被攻破?”
"I know this well. However, hasn't their main stronghold not been breached yet?"
“ nà wèi lín xuān lín qián bèi de biǎo xiàn , suī rán tán bù shàng jīng cái jué yàn , dàn yě kě quān kě diǎn , hǎo jǐ cì pò jiě le yù wài tiān mó de yīn móu , zhè cái lì bǎo yún yǐn zōng bù shī , rú jīn nà xiē tiān wài mó tóu shì dà , zhěng gè nài lóng jiè chú le yún yǐn zōng yǔ péng lái xiān dǎo , wǒ shí zài xiǎng bù chū , hái yǒu bié de dì fāng néng gòu zài yù wài tiān mó cháo shuǐ bān de gōng jī xià yì lì bù dào le 。”
“那位林轩林前辈的表现,虽然谈不上惊才绝艳,但也可圈可点,好几次破解了域外天魔的阴谋,这才力保云隐宗不失,如今那些天外魔头势大,整个鼐龙界除了云隐宗与蓬莱仙岛,我实在想不出,还有别的地方能够在域外天魔潮水般的攻击下屹立不倒了。”
"The performance of Senior Lin Xuan is commendable. Though it doesn't reach the level of extraordinary talent, he has managed to thwart the schemes of the域外天魔 several times, ensuring that Cloud Concealment Sect remains unscathed. With these powerful outsiders now in great numbers, aside from Cloud Concealment Sect and Penglai Immortal Island, I can hardly think of another place that could withstand the overwhelming attacks by the域外天魔."
gāi pài de qí tā jǐ míng zhǎng lǎo tīng le , liǎn shàng yì lù chū chén sī zhī sè 。
该派的其他几名长老听了,脸上亦露出沉思之色。
The other elders present also wore expressions of deep thought.
liáng jiǔ , hóng liǎn lǎo zhě diǎn le diǎn tóu :“ shī xiōng yán zhī yǒu lǐ , zhè yě shì méi yǒu bàn fǎ de zhǔ yì , nà wǒ men jiù qù yún yǐn zōng 。”
良久,红脸老者点了点头:“师兄言之有理,这也是没有办法的主意,那我们就去云隐宗。”
After a long while, the red-faced elder nodded. "Brother's words are reasonable. This is our only option. Let's head to Cloud Concealment Sect."
“ bù cuò , xiāng jiào yú péng lái xiān dǎo , yún yǐn zōng lí zhè lǐ , míng xiǎn yào jìn dé duō , zhǐ yào tū pò zhè piàn huāng mò , dà yuē zài zǒu yí gè yuè , yě jiù kě yǐ dào le 。” bái fà lǎo yù de liǎn shàng yì lù chū zàn tóng zhī sè , yī fān shāng liáng zhī hòu , tā men zì rán míng bái gāi zěn me qǔ shě 。
“不错,相较于蓬莱仙岛,云隐宗离这里,明显要近得多,只要突破这片荒漠,大约再走一个月,也就可以到了。”白发老妪的脸上亦露出赞同之色,一番商量之后,他们自然明白该怎么取舍。
"Agreed," said the white-haired old woman. "Compared to Penglai Immortal Island, Cloud Concealment Sect is much closer. We should be able to leave this desert in about a month." They all nodded in agreement after discussing.
“ jì rán gè wèi tóng mén méi yǒu yì jiàn , nà jīn yè , wǒ men yě bù máng zhe xíng dòng le , yǎng jīng xù ruì yī wǎn , míng tiān yī zǎo , biàn lí kāi zhè piàn huāng mò 。” bái miàn lǎo zhě suī rán tòu lù chū tuì wèi ràng xián zhī yì , rán ér cǐ shí cǐ kè , tā yī jiù shì líng shuǐ zōng yī pài zhī zhǔ , yú qíng yú lǐ , dāng rán yīng gāi yóu tā lái xià zuì hòu de jué dìng le 。
“既然各位同门没有意见,那今夜,我们也不忙着行动了,养精蓄锐一晚,明天一早,便离开这片荒漠。”白面老者虽然透露出退位让贤之意,然而此时此刻,他依旧是灵水宗一派之主,于情于理,当然应该由他来下最后的决定了。
"Now that we have no objections from our fellow disciples, let's rest tonight and gather our strength. Tomorrow morning, we'll depart from this desert," said the white-faced elder, though he hinted at his intention to step down, he was still the head of Lingshui Sect, both emotionally and logically, it was only fitting for him to make the final decision.
qí yú zhī rén hōng rán yìng nuò 。
其余之人轰然应诺。
The others agreed loudly.
yú shì zhè xiē qí sù lǎo zhě bù zài wéi zhe , ér shì gè zì pán xī dǎ zuò , yě tūn fú dān yào huī fù qǐ fǎ lì lái le 。
于是这些耆宿老者不再围着,而是各自盘膝打坐,也吞服丹药恢复起法力来了。
Thus, these senior elders no longer gathered but each sat cross-legged, restoring their spiritual energy by consuming pills.
yǔ cǐ tóng shí , shù bǎi wàn lǐ zhī wài 。
与此同时,数百万里之外。
At the same time, several million miles away,
hūn àn de tiān sè zhōng què sà rán yǒu jīn sè de léi diàn fú xiàn chū lái , tiān kōng zhōng wū yún màn juǎn , mèn léi shēng bù tíng de chuán rù ěr biān 。
昏暗的天色中却飒然有金色的雷电浮现出来,天空中乌云漫卷,闷雷声不停的传入耳边。
In the dim sky, golden lightning suddenly appeared. Dark clouds swirled overhead, and thunder rumbled continuously in his ears.
suí hòu yī dào kōng jiān liè fèng chū xiàn , jǐ gè huǒ qiú cóng lǐ miàn fēi shè chū lái , rú liú xīng zhuì dì yì bān , hěn hěn zá luò xiàng dì miàn 。
随后一道空间裂缝出现,几个火球从里面飞射出来,如流星坠地一般,狠狠砸落像地面。
Then a spatial rift appeared, and several fireballs shot out from it like meteors, crashing onto the ground with force.
dàn hěn kuài , nà xiē huǒ qiú de qù shì què yòu yī huǎn , fēn bié fú xiàn chū le méng lóng de rén yǐng lái 。
但很快,那些火球的去势却又一缓,分别浮现出了朦胧的人影来。
But soon, their momentum slowed down as they revealed hazy figures.
“ hū , huí dào líng jiè de gǎn jué zhēn bù cuò , zài méi yǒu nà fǎ zé zhī lì de shù fù , yǔ zài xiǎo xiān yù zhōng xiāng bǐ , fǎng fú zhěng gè rén yě qīng sōng le xǔ duō 。”
“呼,回到灵界的感觉真不错,再没有那法则之力的束缚,与在小仙域中相比,仿佛整个人也轻松了许多。”
"Phew, returning to the Spirit Realm feels great. Without the constraints of the laws, compared to the Little Immortal Domain, I feel much lighter."
lín xuān shuāng bì shēn zhǎn , liǎn shàng mǎn shì xǐ sè 。
林轩双臂伸展,脸上满是喜色。
Lin Xuan stretched his arms, his face full of joy.

“呵呵,三弟,这也是自然的,你的实力虽然今非昔比,但既然不曾将飞升之劫度过,在小仙域中当然会感觉到种种掣肘与不适的。”鼐龙爽朗的笑声传入耳朵,却依旧是一副吊儿郎当的神色。
"Haha, Third Brother, this is natural. Although your strength has improved, since you haven't passed the ascension trials, you naturally feel various restraints and discomforts in the Little Immortal Domain," said Dailong with a cheerful laugh, still looking lighthearted.
lì jīng xīn kǔ , tā men zhí jiē cóng xiān xiǎo xiān yù zhōng fǎn huí le cǐ chù 。
历经辛苦,他们直接从先小仙域中返回了此处。
After much effort, they directly returned from the Little Immortal Domain.
rán ér yǔ qù shí rén dān yǐng zhǐ , huí lái de shí hòu kě shì rè rè nào nào dào jí chù 。
然而与去时人单影只,回来的时候可是热热闹闹到极处。
However, unlike when they left alone, this time it was bustling with people.
yuè ér xiǎo dié bù tí , nài lóng zhēn rén zì rán yì shì tóng lù , zuì ràng rén wú yǔ de shì nà bā wěi xiān hú yě gēn lái le 。
月儿小蝶不提,鼐龙真人自然亦是同路,最让人无语的是那八尾仙狐也跟来了。
Moon Butterfly wasn't mentioned. Dailong True Man naturally traveled together. The most annoying part was that the Eight-Tailed Fairy Fox also followed them.
jì de dāng chū , tā kě shì xìn shì dàn dàn de yào lín xuān yǔ nài lóng gǎn kuài lí kāi xiǎo xiān yù , kě zhè cái duō jiǔ de gōng fu , tā zì jǐ jiù biàn chéng le niú pí táng , sǐ huó yě yào gēn zhe 。
记得当初,她可是信誓旦旦的要林轩与鼐龙赶快离开小仙域,可这才多久的功夫,她自己就变成了牛皮糖,死活也要跟着。
Remember how she had sworn to Lin Xuan and Dailong to leave the Little Immortal Domain quickly? But in such a short time, she herself turned into a persistent pest, insisting on following no matter what.
dāng rán , zhè jiàn shì qíng yǔ lín xuān bàn diǎn guān xì yě wú , dōu shì nài lóng zhēn rén zì jǐ chuǎng de huò 。
当然,这件事情与林轩半点关系也无,都是鼐龙真人自己闯的祸。
Of course, this had nothing to do with Lin Xuan. It was all Dailong True Man's fault.
xiū xiān zhě dōu xiǎo de , bā wěi xiān hú shì néng gòu diān dǎo zhòng shēng de , zhè suàn shì tā de tiān fù shén tōng yě méi yǒu cuò , àn lǐ , yīng gāi shì nài lóng zhēn rén wéi tā zháo mí 。
修仙者都晓得,八尾仙狐是能够颠倒众生的,这算是她的天赋神通也没有错,按理,应该是鼐龙真人为她着迷。
Mystics knew that an Eight-Tailed Fairy Fox could bewitch anyone. This was her innate divine power, and it wasn't wrong for her to be so captivating. Logically, Dailong True Man should have been the one enchanted by her.
rán ér xiū xiān jiè de shì qíng yòu zěn me kě néng chuāi zhī yǐ cháng lǐ , nài lóng zhēn rén de mèi lì , biàn shì jiǔ wěi tiān hú yě bù yí dìng néng fēn tíng kàng lǐ , qū qū bā wěi xiān hú suàn dé le shén me 。
然而修仙界的事情又怎么可能揣之以常理,鼐龙真人的魅力,便是九尾天狐也不一定能分庭抗礼,区区八尾仙狐算得了什么。
But mystic affairs couldn't be judged by common sense. Even with nine tails, Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox's charm might not match that of an Eight-Tailed Fairy Fox. In just a few months, the Eight-Tailed Fairy Fox had already ensnared Spirit Realm's top playboy. Looking at her determined expression, Lin Xuan couldn't help but laugh inside… Would Dailong True Man be punished by Qianqian Immortal Maiden with kneeling and scrubbing clothes?
zhè bù , duǎn duǎn jǐ gè yuè de xiāng chǔ , bā wěi xiān hú yǐ zuò le líng jiè dì yī huā huā gōng zi de fú lǔ , kàn zhe tā yī liǎn fēi jūn bù jià de biǎo qíng , lín xuān xīn lǐ , nà kě shì xiào kāi le huā …… děng huí qù yǐ hòu , nài lóng zhēn rén bú huì bèi qiān qiān xiān zi fá guì cuō yī bǎn ba !
这不,短短几个月的相处,八尾仙狐已做了灵界第一花花公子的俘虏,看着她一脸非君不嫁的表情,林轩心里,那可是笑开了花……等回去以后,鼐龙真人不会被芊芊仙子罚跪搓衣板吧!
He decided to stay out of it. Although they swore to share both good times and bad when they became sworn brothers, he didn't want to get involved in such matters.
shì bù guān jǐ gāo gāo guà qǐ , suī rán jié bài de shí hòu , yě shuō guò yào yǒu fú tóng xiǎng yǒu nán tóng dāng , dàn zhè zhǒng shì qíng , lín xuān dāng rán bù hǎo chān huo , yú shì quán dàng zuò méi yǒu kàn jiàn le 。
事不关己高高挂起,虽然结拜的时候,也说过要有福同享有难同当,但这种事情,林轩当然不好掺和,于是权当做没有看见了。
Thus, the group returned to the Domain of Dailong. But looking around, everything was unfamiliar.
jiù zhè yàng , yī xíng rén huí dào le nài lóng jiè , rán ér fàng yǎn wàng qù , què shì yī pài mò shēng de jǐng sè 。
就这样,一行人回到了鼐龙界,然而放眼望去,却是一派陌生的景色。
But that wasn't a problem for them.
dàn zhè yě shì nán bù dào tā men de 。
但这也是难不倒他们的。
This wasn't the Little Immortal Domain; Lin Xuan could easily command the laws of nature and his divine sense wouldn't be suppressed here either.
zhè lǐ bú shì xiǎo xiān yù , lín xuān bù jǐn néng gòu qīng yì qū dòng tiān dì fǎ zé , shén shí zì rán yě bú huì zài shòu dào yā zhì shén me 。
这里不是小仙域,林轩不仅能够轻易驱动天地法则,神识自然也不会再受到压制什么。
So he closed his eyes and released his divine sense to seek out someone who could guide him. Whether it was a cultivator, a beast, or an outsider, as long as they could tell him where they were, that would suffice.
yú shì bì shàng shuāng mù , jiāng shén shí fàng chū , xiǎng yào xún zhǎo hé shì de cún zài wèn wèn lù , guǎn tā xiū shì , yāo zú , hái shì yù wài tiān mó , zǒng ér yán zhī , néng gòu gào sù zì jǐ zhè lǐ shì nǎ ér jiù duì le 。
于是闭上双目,将神识放出,想要寻找合适的存在问问路,管他修士,妖族,还是域外天魔,总而言之,能够告诉自己这里是哪儿就对了。
"Ugh..."
“ yí ……”
“咦……”
He soon received some information, though the distance was too great for clear communication. Lin Xuan's face showed signs of thoughtfulness.
hěn kuài jiù yǒu le shōu huò , bù guò yīn wèi jù lí tài yuǎn , gù ér jiē shōu dào de xìn xī yǒu diǎn mó hú , lín xuān liǎn shàng lù chū ruò yǒu suǒ sī zhī sè 。
很快就有了收获,不过因为距离太远,故而接收到的信息有点模糊,林轩脸上露出若有所思之色。
...
……
……
Meanwhile, the members of Lingshui Sect were meditating.
yǔ cǐ tóng shí , líng shuǐ zōng de zhòng rén zhèng zài dǎ zuò 。
与此同时,灵水宗的众人正在打坐。
After a long journey, their spiritual energy had been depleted.
cháng tú bá shè bá shè zhī xià , tā men de fǎ lì yě dōu xiāo hào le hěn duō 。
长途跋涉跋涉之下,他们的法力也都消耗了很多。
They seized this opportunity to rest as tightly as possible.
hǎo bù róng yì yǒu jī huì xiē xī , tā men zì rán shì jiāng shí jiān zhuā dé jí jǐn dì 。
好不容易有机会歇息,他们自然是将时间抓得极紧地。
As time passed, the sky grew darker.
suí zhe shí jiān de tuī yí , tiān sè yuè fā de àn dàn xià qù 。
随着时间的推移,天色越发的黯淡下去。
A dark cloud drifted overhead.
yī piàn wū yún piāo dào le tóu dǐng 。
一片乌云飘到了头顶。
Initially, they didn't pay attention. But suddenly, an unpleasant "cackling" sound reached their ears.
qǐ chū , tā men dōu méi yǒu zài yì , rán ér xià yī kè , yī zhèn “ gā gā ” nán tīng de jiào shēng chuán rù le ěr duǒ lǐ 。
起初,他们都没有在意,然而下一刻,一阵“嘎嘎”难听的叫声传入了耳朵里。
The clouds parted, revealing hundreds of monstrous birds.
nà wū yún shǎn kāi , cóng lǐ miàn cuàn chū shù yǐ bǎi jì de jù dà guài niǎo lái 。
那乌云闪开,从里面窜出数以百计的巨大怪鸟来。
These birds varied in size; some were over ten zhang tall, while others were a dozen feet high. Regardless of their size, all were hideous, with red flesh crests on their heads, sharp beaks and claws, emitting faint black light, and eyes glowing with ferocity.
zhè xiē guài niǎo dà xiǎo bù yī , dà de shí zhàng yǒu yú , xiǎo de yě yǒu zhàng xǔ , dàn bù lùn tǐ xíng rú hé , xíng mào jiē shì chǒu lòu dào le jí chù , tóu shēng chì sè ròu guān , jiān zuǐ lì zhuǎ , hún shēn fàng chū dàn dàn de hēi máng , yǎn zhōng shǎn shuò zhe xiōng guāng 。
这些怪鸟大小不一,大的十丈有余,小的也有丈许,但不论体型如何,形貌皆是丑陋到了极处,头生赤色肉冠,尖嘴利爪,浑身放出淡淡的黑芒,眼中闪烁着凶光。
They didn't immediately attack but surrounded the Lingshui Sect cultivators from all sides.
tā men xiàn shēn yǐ hòu , bìng méi yǒu lì kè yī chōng ér xià , ér shì biàn bù sì fāng , jiāng líng shuǐ zōng de xiū shì wéi le qǐ lái 。
它们现身以后,并没有立刻一冲而下,而是遍布四方,将灵水宗的修士围了起来。
"They are Fiery Demon Birds," said Cloud Senior Brother. "You said that the域外天魔 stationed here were transferred elsewhere. Where did these demonic birds come from?" The white-haired old woman was furious, turning her head to the left in indignation.
“ shì mó yàn niǎo , yún shī xiōng , nǐ bú shì shuō , zhù shǒu cǐ dì de yù wài tiān mó , yǐ jīng bèi diào wǎng le bié chù , nà zhè xiē mó qín , shì cóng nǎ lǐ lái de ?” bái fà lǎo yù bó rán dà nù , yì fèn tián yīng de cháo zhe zuǒ biān zhuǎn guò le tóu lú 。
“是魔焰鸟,云师兄,你不是说,驻守此地的域外天魔,已经被调往了别处,那这些魔禽,是从哪里来的?”白发老妪勃然大怒,义愤填膺的朝着左边转过了头颅。
"I don't know where you got this idea! Are you accusing me of conspiring with those outsider demons?" The red-robed, bearded elder also grew angry, his panic evident as he retorted instinctively.
“ nǐ wèn wǒ , wǒ yòu nǎ lǐ xiǎo de , nán dào nǐ huái yí wǒ , gōu jié nà xiē tiān wài mó tóu me ?” shēn chuān hóng páo de mǎ liǎn lǎo zhě , yì shì lǎo xiū chéng nù , cǐ shí tā yì shì jīng huāng shī cuò , yú shì biàn xià yì shí de hěn hěn fǎn bó 。
“你问我,我又哪里晓得,难道你怀疑我,勾结那些天外魔头么?”身穿红袍的马脸老者,亦是老羞成怒,此时他亦是惊慌失措,于是便下意识的狠狠反驳。
"Hmph. That's hard to say."
“ hēng , zhè kě nán shuō 。”
“哼,这可难说。”
"You..."
“ nǐ ……”
“你……”
"Enough, enough. It's late now; what are you arguing about? I trust Cloud Senior Brother won't betray the heavens. These outsiders are cunning; Cloud Senior Brother likely fell into their trap. The pressing issue is how we can break through and protect our sect's legacy," said the white-faced elder, interrupting their argument with a loud shout.
“ hǎo le hǎo le , dōu dào le zhè shí hòu nǐ men hái chǎo shén me , wǒ xìn dé guò yún shī xiōng bú huì tóu kào tiān mó , zhè xiē yù wài mó tóu jiǎo zhà , yún shī xiōng duō bàn yě shàng le tā men de dà dāng a , dāng wù zhī jí , bú shì chǎo lái chǎo qù , ér shì zěn me shā chū yī tiáo xuè lù , běn zōng de chuán chéng , jué bù néng duàn jué yú zhè lǐ 。” bái miàn lǎo zhě chēng mù dà hē , jiāng liǎng rén de zhēng chǎo dǎ duàn le 。
“好了好了,都到了这时候你们还吵什么,我信得过云师兄不会投靠天魔,这些域外魔头狡诈,云师兄多半也上了他们的大当啊,当务之急,不是吵来吵去,而是怎么杀出一条血路,本宗的传承,绝不能断绝于这里。”白面老者瞠目大喝,将两人的争吵打断了。
"Cack!"
“ gā gā 。”
“嘎嘎。”
The cackling sound echoed in their ears.
guài jiào shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ 。
怪叫声传入耳朵。
These Fiery Demon Birds had completed their formation and swooped down.
nà xiē mó yàn niǎo cǐ shí yǐ jīng wán chéng le pèi hé , hū xiào zhe pū luò 。
那些魔焰鸟此时已经完成了配合,呼啸着扑落。
"Die!"
“ zhǎo sǐ !”
“找死!”
The Lingshui Sect cultivators wouldn't sit idly by. They raised their spiritual treasures to counter the attack.
"Alas, what use is it to talk about this now? Who could have thought that the Three Realms would face such calamities at once. Even with a boundary-crossing teleportation array, there's no point in using it now. In my humble opinion, we should head to Cloud Concealment Sect," said the white-faced elder, his expression full of hesitation, but he ultimately sighed and spoke.
"Head to Cloud Concealment Sect?" The white-haired old woman looked puzzled. "But isn't that place under siege by域外天魔?"
"I know this well. However, hasn't their main stronghold not been breached yet?"
"The performance of Senior Lin Xuan is commendable. Though it doesn't reach the level of extraordinary talent, he has managed to thwart the schemes of the域外天魔 several times, ensuring that Cloud Concealment Sect remains unscathed. With these powerful outsiders now in great numbers, aside from Cloud Concealment Sect and Penglai Immortal Island, I can hardly think of another place that could withstand the overwhelming attacks by the域外天魔."

But mystic affairs couldn't be judged by common sense. Even with nine tails, Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox's charm might not match that of an Eight-Tailed Fairy Fox. In just a few months, the Eight-Tailed Fairy Fox had already ensnared Spirit Realm's top playboy. Looking at her determined expression, Lin Xuan couldn't help but laugh inside… Would Dailong True Man be punished by Qianqian Immortal Maiden with kneeling and scrubbing clothes?
He decided to stay out of it. Although they swore to share both good times and bad when they became sworn brothers, he didn't want to get involved in such matters.
Thus, the group returned to the Domain of Dailong. But looking around, everything was unfamiliar.
But that wasn't a problem for them.
This wasn't the Little Immortal Domain; Lin Xuan could easily command the laws of nature and his divine sense wouldn't be suppressed here either.
So he closed his eyes and released his divine sense to seek out someone who could guide him. Whether it was a cultivator, a beast, or an outsider, as long as they could tell him where they were, that would suffice.
"Ugh..."
He soon received some information, though the distance was too great for clear communication. Lin Xuan's face showed signs of thoughtfulness.
...
Meanwhile, the members of Lingshui Sect were meditating.
After a long journey, their spiritual energy had been depleted.
They seized this opportunity to rest as tightly as possible.
As time passed, the sky grew darker.
A dark cloud drifted overhead.
Initially, they didn't pay attention. But suddenly, an unpleasant "cackling" sound reached their ears.
The clouds parted, revealing hundreds of monstrous birds.
These birds varied in size; some were over ten zhang tall, while others were a dozen feet high. Regardless of their size, all were hideous, with red flesh crests on their heads, sharp beaks and claws, emitting faint black light, and eyes glowing with ferocity.
They didn't immediately attack but surrounded the Lingshui Sect cultivators from all sides.
"They are Fiery Demon Birds," said Cloud Senior Brother. "You said that the域外天魔 stationed here were transferred elsewhere. Where did these demonic birds come from?" The white-haired old woman was furious, turning her head to the left in indignation.
"I don't know where you got this idea! Are you accusing me of conspiring with those outsider demons?" The red-robed, bearded elder also grew angry, his panic evident as he retorted instinctively.
"Hmph. That's hard to say."
"You..."
"Enough, enough. It's late now; what are you arguing about? I trust Cloud Senior Brother won't betray the heavens. These outsiders are cunning; Cloud Senior Brother likely fell into their trap. The pressing issue is how we can break through and protect our sect's legacy," said the white-faced elder, interrupting their argument with a loud shout.
"Cack!"
The cackling sound echoed in their ears.
These Fiery Demon Birds had completed their formation and swooped down.
"Die!"
The Lingshui Sect cultivators wouldn't sit idly by. They raised their spiritual treasures to counter the attack.
