For the two women, Xu Wu had some reservations in his heart. But to say he was afraid of them would be premature. Having been tricked and bullied by Nai Long Zhenren all along, he harbored a great deal of anger.
duì yú liǎng nǚ ， xū wú xīn zhōng suī rán yě yǒu nà me yì diǎn jì dàn ， dàn zhēn yào shuō pà ， què yán zhì guò zǎo le ， zhè yī lù bèi nài lóng zhēn rén suàn jì qī fù ， tā xīn zhōng yì biē zhe yī gǔ nù huǒ 。
对于两女，虚无心中虽然也有那么一点忌惮，但真要说怕，却言之过早了，这一路被鼐龙真人算计欺负，他心中亦憋着一股怒火。
How could he possibly retreat from these two who dared to act recklessly?
qín yán èr rén rú cǐ bù zhī sǐ huó ， tā yòu zěn me kě néng tuì bì ne ？
秦妍二人如此不知死活，他又怎么可能退避呢？
With a loud roar, dark magical energy surged out from his body. Xu Wu's entire form suddenly expanded more than a hundred times in size, transforming into something resembling a giant.
yī shēng dà hē ， gǔn gǔn mó qì cóng tā shēn tǐ biǎo miàn fú xiàn ér chū ， suí hòu xū wú de zhěng gè shēn tǐ ， zhòu rán biàn dà le bǎi bèi yǒu yú 。
一声大喝，滚滚魔气从他身体表面浮现而出，随后虚无的整个身体，骤然变大了百倍有余。
No, calling it a giant was too weak; because this creature had hundreds of hands and feet on its surface, making it look more like an awful monster rather than a human.
huà wèi le yī jù rén mú yàng de dōng xī 。
化为了一巨人模样的东西。
"Xu Wu, is this your true form?"
bù ， shuō jù rén tài qiān qiǎng le yī xiē ， yīn wèi zhè jiā huo de shēn tǐ biǎo miàn ， jìng rán zhǎng zhe qiān shǒu bǎi zú ， bǐ qǐ rén lèi de xíng mào lái shuō ， gèng xiàng shì yī kě pà de guài wù 。
不，说巨人太牵强了一些，因为这家伙的身体表面，竟然长着千手百足，比起人类的形貌来说，更像是一可怕的怪物。
"Wahahaha! You talk too much. If you dare to treat me as nothing, bring out your lives to pay the price."
“ xū wú ， zhè jiù shì nǐ de zhēn miàn mù ？”
“虚无，这就是你的真面目？”
The monster roared loudly.
“ wa hā hā ， fèi huà zhēn duō ， nǐ men gǎn shì běn mó jūn wèi wú wù ， jiù ná zì jǐ de xiǎo mìng lái cháng huán hǎo le 。”
“哇哈哈，废话真多，你们敢视本魔君为无物，就拿自己的小命来偿还好了。”
A blurry chest suddenly appeared, revealing a giant mouth.
nà guài wù dà shēng páo xiāo zhe 。
那怪物大声咆哮着。
With its wide-open jaws, streaks of heavenly fire and meteorites shot out.
xiōng kǒu yī zhèn mó hú ， jū rán fú xiàn chū yī jù dà de zuǐ bā lái le 。
胸口一阵模糊，居然浮现出一巨大的嘴巴来了。
Indeed, those black rays were like a meteor shower—beautiful yet devastating.
xuè pén dà kǒu zhāng kāi ， tiān huǒ liú xīng cóng lǐ miàn pēn le chū lái 。
血盆大口张开，天火流星从里面喷了出来。
Xu Wu was truly enraged, determined to kill both women here.
méi cuò ， nà hēi sè de lì máng ， zhēn de xiàng shì liú xīng yǔ yì bān ， měi lì ér cuǐ càn 。
没错，那黑色的厉芒，真的像是流星雨一般，美丽而璀璨。
Would he succeed?
dàn yī kē jiù zú yǐ yí shān tián hǎi 。
但一颗就足以移山填海。
No one knew for sure. Qin Yan and the Winged Fairy weren't weak either. Given their audacity to attack this demon, they must have had some confidence in themselves.
xū wú shì dòng le zhēn huǒ ， xià dìng jué xīn yào jiāng èr nǚ miè shā yú cǐ chù 。
虚无是动了真火，下定决心要将二女灭杀于此处。
Qin Yan waved her hands, and milky-white magical energy swirled around them like a celestial maiden among clouds.
tā néng gòu rú yuàn me ？
他能够如愿么？
The Winged Fairy silently vanished into the thick darkness.
méi yǒu rén xiǎo de 。
没有人晓得。
Their actions complemented each other seamlessly, leaving no trace. The next moment, an explosion echoed.
qín yán yǔ nà zhé yì xiān zi yě bú shì ruò zhě 。
秦妍与那折翼仙子也不是弱者。
...
èr nǚ jì rán gǎn jié shā cǐ mó ， yú qíng yú lǐ kěn dìng yě shì yǒu jǐ fēn bǎ wò 。
二女既然敢劫杀此魔，于情于理肯定也是有几分把握。
Lin Xuan was unaware of all this.
qín yán yù shǒu yī bǎi ， rǔ bái sè de mó qì cóng tā de zhǐ zhǎng jiān fān téng qǐ lái 。
秦妍玉手一摆，乳白色的魔气从她的指掌间翻腾起来。
At that time, he had just received Nai Long Zhenren's flying sword message.
yīn yūn wù qì ， fǎng fú yún zhōng tiān nǚ 。
氤氲雾气，仿佛云中天女。
He learned that the heavenly demons' army attacking Penglai Immortal Island had been completely annihilated.
zhì yú nà wèi míng jiào zhé yì de shào nǚ ， zé wú shēng wú xī ， yǐn rù le nóng mì de hēi àn lǐ 。
至于那位名叫折翼的少女，则无声无息，隐入了浓密的黑暗里。
Lin Xuan widened his eyes in surprise.
liǎng rén yī jìng yī dòng ， pèi hé dé què shì hún rán tiān chéng ， sī háo yě bù liú hén jì ， xià yī kè ， bào liè shēng dà qǐ 。
两人一静一动，配合得却是浑然天成，丝毫也不留痕迹，下一刻，爆裂声大起。
Brother really did a good job. To defeat such an enemy was easy enough, but to eliminate over a million demonic entities from beyond the world was nearly impossible.
……
……
He wondered how his brother managed it.
zhè yī qiè ， lín xuān bìng bù xiǎo de 。
这一切，林轩并不晓得。
Lin Xuan admired him immensely, yet he never expected Nai Long Zhenren, whom he considered highly esteemed, to be in such bad luck. He was currently kneeling on a washboard, repenting.
cǐ shí 。 tā gāng gāng shōu dào nài lóng zhēn rén de fēi jiàn chuán shū 。
此时。他刚刚收到鼐龙真人的飞剑传书。
Like tofu meeting brine, one thing suppresses another.
dé zhī wéi gōng péng lái xiān dǎo de tiān mó dà jūn quán jūn fù mò 。
得知围攻蓬莱仙岛的天魔大军全军覆没。
Nai Long Zhenren's power, no matter how high, couldn't compare to Qianqian Fairy. In her presence, he was like a mouse before a cat.
lín xuān yě shì dèng dà le yǎn zhū 。
林轩也是瞪大了眼珠。
Lin Xuan didn't know any of this. He was busy with Nai Long Zhenren's flying sword message, handling two major victories that could significantly shift the balance between Nai Long Realm cultivators and demonic entities.
dà gē guǒ rán liǎo de 。
大哥果然了得。
Such an opportunity was too good to miss. Lin Xuan personally led the Alliance of Immortals in a multi-pronged attack, gradually encroaching on the territories of the demonic entities.
xū zhī jī kuì duì fāng róng yì ， dàn xiǎng yào jiāng shàng bǎi wàn de yù wài tiān mó jiǎn chú ， zé jī hū shì bù kě néng wán chéng de rèn wù 。
须知击溃对方容易，但想要将上百万的域外天魔剪除，则几乎是不可能完成的任务。
Everything went smoothly. The demonic entities were not only severely weakened but also lacked unified command, making them easy targets for Lin Xuan's concentrated forces.
yě bù zhī dào dà gē zěn me zuò dào de 。
也不知道大哥怎么做到的。
They could be said to have retreated like a thousand miles.
lín xuān xīn zhōng pèi fú bù yǐ 。
林轩心中佩服不已。
This success not only boosted the morale of the Alliance of Immortals but also raised the spirits of the entire cultivation realm.
què wàn wàn xiǎng bú dào zài tā xīn mù zhōng gāo dà shàng de nài lóng zhēn rén cǐ kè dǎo méi yǐ jí ， zhèng guì zài cuō yī bǎn shàng chàn huǐ 。
却万万想不到在他心目中高大上的鼐龙真人此刻倒霉以极，正跪在搓衣板上忏悔。
With hearts that could be used, Lin Xuan began planning an assault on Xu Wu’s stronghold. If he could achieve victory in one fell swoop, the benefits would be obvious.
lǔ shuǐ diǎn dòu fǔ ， yī wù xiáng yī wù 。
卤水点豆腐，一物降一物。
However, this matter was no small matter. Lin Xuan had no absolute confidence and thus sent messengers to Penglai Immortal Island to contact his brother.
nài lóng zhēn rén shí lì zài gāo yòu rú hé ， zài qiān qiān xiān zi miàn qián hái bú shì jiàn le māo de lǎo shǔ 。
鼐龙真人实力再高又如何，在芊芊仙子面前还不是见了猫的老鼠。
Nai Long Zhenren's reputation and power far exceeded his own. With him at the helm, success was certain.
zhè yī qiè lín xuān bìng bù qīng chǔ 。
这一切林轩并不清楚。
...
dé dào nài lóng zhēn rén de fēi jiàn chuán shū tā xiàn zài kě shì máng le gè yī tā hú tú ， jiē lián liǎng chǎng dà jié ， zú yǐ gǎi biàn nài lóng jiè xiū xiān zhě yǔ yù wài tiān mó jiān de lì liàng duì bǐ 。
得到鼐龙真人的飞剑传书他现在可是忙了个一塌糊涂，接连两场大捷，足以改变鼐龙界修仙者与域外天魔间的力量对比。
In the main hall of Yun Yin Sect, it was a grand and luxurious place filled with ancient and primeval aura. However, its location was quite hidden, surrounded by numerous barriers, with many cultivators either openly or secretly guarding it.
zhè zhǒng shí kè ， zuì róng yì shōu fù shī dì ， kuò dà zhàn guǒ 。 rú cǐ hǎo de jī huì ， lín xuān qǐ huì cuò guò ， qīn zì shuài lǐng xiān dào méng sì miàn chū jī ， cán shí yù wài tiān mó de lǐng dì 。
这种时刻，最容易收复失地，扩大战果。如此好的机会，林轩岂会错过，亲自率领仙道盟四面出击，蚕食域外天魔的领地。
Hundreds of cultivators sat in the hall, ranging from young to old, male to female.
zhěng gè guò chéng shùn lì yǐ jí 。
整个过程顺利以极。
Each had profound magical power, at least reaching late-stage Spirit Formation stage.
rú jīn de yù wài tiān mó ， bù jǐn yuán qì dà shāng le ， qiě hù bù tǒng shǔ ， gè zì wéi zhàn ， hěn róng yì jiù bèi lín xuān jí zhōng yōu shì bīng lì jī pò 。
如今的域外天魔，不仅元气大伤了，且互不统属，各自为战，很容易就被林轩集中优势兵力击破。
Not only did high-ranking officials from the Alliance of Immortals attend, but also elders and senior figures from various sects. Some were cave masters, while others were prominent individuals among wandering cultivators.
shuō yī kuì qiān lǐ yě méi yǒu cuò 。
说一溃千里也没有错。
In short, every single one was a well-known figure.
rú cǐ shùn lì ， bù zhǐ ràng xiān dào méng huān xīn gǔ wǔ 。 zhěng gè xiū xiān jiè dī shì qì dōu tí shēng le hěn duō 。
如此顺利，不止让仙道盟欢欣鼓舞。整个修仙界的士气都提升了很多。
Though it couldn't be said to encompass all the top-notch experts in Nai Long Realm, nearly half of them had gathered here.
rén xīn kě yòng ， lín xuān yǐ zài chóu móu zhe jìn gōng xū wú mó jūn de dà běn yíng le 。
人心可用，林轩已在筹谋着进攻虚无魔君的大本营了。
Lin Xuan's current reputation was unparalleled. Sitting on the main seat, he had convened this hero assembly to unite the forces of various sects and attack the demonic entities' stronghold in Nai Long Realm.
ruò shì néng gòu yī zhàn ér kè ， hǎo chù zì rán shì bù yán ér yù de 。
若是能够一战而克，好处自然是不言而喻的。
By eliminating their headquarters, even if the demonic entities were fierce, they would be like rootless weeds. The key point was that Xu Wu's stronghold contained the largest spatial node, which could connect to the outer demon realm, allowing continuous reinforcements.
bù guò cǐ shì fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， lín xuān yě méi yǒu jué duì de bǎ wò 。 yú shì pài rén qù péng lái xiān dǎo lián luò dà gē 。
不过此事非同小可，林轩也没有绝对的把握。于是派人去蓬莱仙岛联络大哥。
If he could break through and destroy this spatial node, it would cut off the demonic entities' support. Over time, all of them might be driven out of Nai Long Realm.
nài lóng zhēn rén de shēng wàng shí lì dōu fēi zì jǐ kě bǐ ， ruò yǒu tā zhǔ chí dà jú ， zé dà shì chéng yǐ 。
鼐龙真人的声望实力都非自己可比，若有他主持大局，则大事成矣。
Of course, this was the best outcome, but there were bound to be many twists and turns. Nevertheless, hope was visible, so the cultivators present were highly motivated.
……
……
"Welcome, fellow daoists. I won't say much more. I merely hope that in the coming years, we can unite our efforts to eliminate the demonic entities and completely drive them out of Nai Long Realm." Lin Xuan's clear voice echoed through the hall. He hadn’t slept for a month as he continuously fought against the demonic entities.
yún yǐn zōng zǒng duò 。
云隐宗总舵。
Though cultivators didn't need sleep, such intense combat was far from being restored by merely taking some pills!
zhè shì yī chù dà diàn ， shē huá yǐ jí 。 chōng mǎn le hóng huāng gǔ piáo de qì xī ， dàn wèi zhì què shì pǒ wèi yǐn mì ， zhōu wéi gèng jìn zhì biàn jí 。 hái yǒu dà liàng de xiū xiān zhě ， huò míng huò àn de shǒu wèi zhe 。
这是一处大殿，奢华以极。充满了洪荒古朴的气息，但位置却是颇为隐秘，周围更禁制遍及。还有大量的修仙者，或明或暗的守卫着。
"Daoist Lin, you are too kind. The demonic entities are our common enemy; we will certainly do our best," said an old man with white hair and beard.
dà diàn zhōng ， zuò zhāo shù bǎi míng xiū xiān zhě 。
大殿中，坐着数百名修仙者。
"Indeed. The demonic entities are formidable and act without restraint. It's thanks to Daoist Lin and Senior Nai Long that they were turned back from the brink of disaster. I, a mere novice, am willing to follow your lead." Another big figure bowed in agreement. He was also at the Transcendence stage but, after this battle, everyone knew the gap between ordinary Transcendence cultivators like him and Lin Xuan or Nai Long Zhenren.
nán nǚ lǎo yòu ， bù yī ér zú 。
男女老幼，不一而足。
Thus, he called himself a junior, and no one found it out of place.
dàn měi yí gè de fǎ lì ， jiē shì jīng shēn dào jí chù ， zuì chà yě shì fēn shén hòu qī de cún zài le 。
但每一个的法力，皆是精深到极处，最差也是分神后期的存在了。
This wasn't over yet. The supporters' voices echoed in agreement. Lin Xuan's current reputation was formidable.
jīn tiān lái dào zhè lǐ de bù zhǐ yǒu xiān dào méng de gāo céng ， hái yǒu gè mén gè pài de zhǎng lǎo jí rén wù ， huò zhě yī dòng zhī zhǔ ， huò zhě sàn xiū zhōng de qián bèi rén wù 。
今天来到这里的不止有仙道盟的高层，还有各门各派的长老级人物，或者一洞之主，或者散修中的前辈人物。
"Thank you all."
zǒng ér yán zhī ， měi yí gè dōu shì dà míng dǐng dǐng de 。
总而言之，每一个都是大名鼎鼎的。
Lin Xuan bowed to the crowd with a smile on his face.
bù gǎn shuō ， náng kuò le nài lóng jiè suǒ yǒu de gāo shǒu ， dàn yě yǒu jìn xiǎo bàn qí jù yú cǐ chù 。
不敢说，囊括了鼐龙界所有的高手，但也有近小半齐聚于此处。
After about half an hour, a black-robed cultivator stepped forward. His face had a cold expression that made people uncomfortable. However, he was a late-stage Transcendence cultivator.
lín xuān rú jīn de shēng wàng ， nà shì yī shí wú liǎng ， rú jīn tā gāo zuò zài zhǔ wèi zhī shàng ， zhè cì yīng xióng dà huì ， nǎi shì lín xuān zhào jí ， mù dì biàn shì jí hé gè mén gè pài zhī lì ， yì qǐ jìn gōng yù wài tiān mó zài nài lóng jiè de zǒng duò 。
林轩如今的声望，那是一时无两，如今他高坐在主位之上，这次英雄大会，乃是林轩召集，目的便是集合各门各派之力，一起进攻域外天魔在鼐龙界的总舵。
He greeted Lin Xuan and then said with a picky look: "I am the Cave Master of Black Wind Cave. I have something to ask of the Alliance Leader."
jiāng duì fāng de dà běn yíng bá chú ， yí dàn méi yǒu le zǒng duò ， yù wài tiān mó zài xiōng è ， yě jiù shì wú gēn de fú píng le ， ér zuì guān jiàn de yì diǎn ， zài xū wú de dà běn yíng lǐ ， yǒu zuì dà de kōng jiān tōng dào 。
将对方的大本营拔除，一旦没有了总舵，域外天魔再凶恶，也就是无根的浮萍了，而最关键的一点，在虚无的大本营里，有最大的空间通道。
Postscript: In these past few days, my family had some matters that required attention, so Huan Yu was pulled in as well, which is why this weekend's update isn't up to par. Please forgive us. We will make it up next week. (To be continued...)
For the two women, Xu Wu had some reservations in his heart. But to say he was afraid of them would be premature. Having been tricked and bullied by Nai Long Zhenren all along, he harbored a great deal of anger.
