鸟现形以后。，翅膀一煽。可怕热浪扑面而来。天|光点点。竟然下起了一场火雨来。
After the bird revealed itself, its wings flapped, sending a wave of scorching heat towards Lin Xuan. The sky was dotted with sparks as fire rain began to fall.
zhòng xiū shì wú bù liǎn sè dà 。 xú jǐn qīng zé lěng hēng yī shēng 。 jiān tóu wēi huǎng 。 huà wèi yī dào cuǐ càn de zǐ máng 。 qù shì ruò diàn 。 de yī xià yǔ nà huǒ niǎo xiāng zhuàng 。
众修士无不脸色大。徐锦青则冷哼一声。肩头微晃。化为一道璀璨的紫芒。去势若电。的一下与那火鸟相撞。
All the cultivators present were visibly taken aback. Xu Jinqing let out a cold snort and his shoulders moved slightly, transforming into a dazzling purple light that shot like lightning toward the flaming bird.
liǎng zhě tǐ xíng xiāng chà xuán shū 。 ér yuán yīng zhōng qī xiū shì de shén tōng fēi tóng xiǎo kě 。 cǐ yāo qín cù bù jí fáng zhī xià 。 chī le yī bù dà bù xiǎo de àn kuī 。 nǎo nù fēi cháng 。 fā chū cì ěr de míng jiào 。 hěn hěn de pū xiàng le duì fāng 。
两者体型相差悬殊。而元婴中期修士的神通非同小可。此妖禽猝不及防之下。吃了一不大不小的暗亏。恼怒非常。发出刺耳的鸣叫。狠狠的扑向了对方。
The size difference between them was significant, but an intermediate-stage元婴 cultivator's abilities were formidable. The bird, caught off guard, suffered a minor setback, becoming furious as it emitted a sharp cry and fiercely attacked Xu Jinqing.
rán ér xú jǐn qīng què bìng bù yǔ jiē zhàn 。 dùn fāng xiàng yī zhuǎn 。 fēi xiàng le tiān biān 。
然而徐锦青却并不与接战。遁方向一转。飞向了天边。
However, Xu Jinqing did not engage in battle. He changed direction and flew toward the horizon.
bì fāng yuè fā nǎo nù 。 hún shēn huǒ yàn cuàn qǐ 。 zhǎn jù dà de shuāng yì 。 jǐn suí ér qù 。
必方越发恼怒。浑身火焰窜起。展巨大的双翼。紧随而去。
The phoenix became even more enraged, flames erupting from its body as it spread its enormous wings and followed closely behind.
yú xià de rén jiē sōng kǒu qì 。
余下的人皆松口气。
The others breathed a sigh of relief.
suī rán bìng bù chǔ tiān jié wèi hé huì huà wèi yāo qín 。 bù guò xiǎn rán tā men shì dù guò le wēi jī 。 zhì yú shī shū de ān wēi 。 dào bìng bù dān xīn 。 yuán yīng qī xiū shì 。 yǐ jīng shì zhè yī jiè dǐng jiān de cún zài 。 yāo qín suī shì tiān de líng lì suǒ shēng 。 dàn shī shū jiù suàn bù dí 。 zì bǎo zǒng shì méi yǒu wèn tí 。
虽然并不楚天劫为何会化为妖禽。不过显然他们是度过了危机。至于师叔的安危。倒并不担心。元婴期修士。已经是这一界顶尖的存在。妖禽虽是天的灵力所生。但师叔就算不敌。自保总是没有问题。
Although they didn't know why the heavenly tribulation had transformed into a bird, it was clear that they had successfully weathered the crisis. As for Senior Uncle's safety, they were not overly concerned; an intermediate-stage元婴 cultivator was already one of the top existences in this world. Even if the bird was born from the realm's spiritual energy, as long as Senior Uncle didn't lose, he would be able to protect himself.
zhòng rén píng xīn jìng qì 。 mù guāng yòu xiàng nà xiá gǔ wàng 。
众人平心静气。目光又像那峡谷望。
The group calmed down and turned their gaze back toward the valley.
tōng yǔ zhēn rén yī jiù pán xī ér zuò 。 rán ér cǐ tā de qì sè yǔ gāng cái xiāng bǐ 。 què jié rán bù tóng 。 xiōng qián de guāng qiú zhī zhōng 。 yuán yīng yǐ xíng tǐ wěn gù 。 zhè cì jié yīng 。 suī rán lì jìn le zhǒng zhǒng jié nàn 。 zuì hòu zǒng suàn shì gōng dé yuán mǎn 。
通羽真人依旧盘膝而坐。然而此他的气色与刚才相比。却截然不同。胸前的光球之中。元婴已形体稳固。这次结婴。虽然历尽了种种劫难。最后总算是功德圆满。
True Feather Immortal remained seated with crossed legs. However, his appearance had changed significantly since before; the light ball in front of him now housed a fully formed元婴. Despite all the tribulations endured, he finally achieved enlightenment.
tā huǎn huǎn zhēng kāi le shuāng yǎn 。 jīng máng sì shè 。 jiā guǐ yì de shì 。 cǐ kè tā de quán shēn 。 jìng yǒu yī céng hóng máng zhào tǐ 。 xiǎn de shén mì yǐ jí 。
他缓缓睁开了双眼。精芒四射。加诡异的是。此刻他的全身。竟有一层红芒罩体。显的神秘以极。
He slowly opened his eyes, radiating intense light. Strangely, his entire body was enveloped in a red glow, making him appear extremely mysterious.
“ yuán yīng dà dào 。 kǔ xiū sì bǎi yú zài 。 zhōng - chéng zhèng guǒ 。”
“元婴大道。苦修四百余载。终-成正果。”
"Four hundred years of cultivation for the path of the元婴. Finally, I have attained my goal."
tōng yǔ zhēn rén xū le qì 。 jí biàn shì zhè wèi hú lí 。 cǐ kè liǎn shàng de biǎo qíng yě mǎn shì qiè yì 。 xiū xiān de zhǒng zhǒng jīng lì 。 yī yī fú shàng xīn dòng 。 qí zhōng de jiān xīn 。 wài rén shì wú fǎ xiǎng xiàng de 。
通羽真人吁了气。即便是这位狐狸。此刻脸上的表情也满是惬意。修仙的种种经历。一一浮上心动。其中的艰辛。外人是无法想象的。
True Feather Immortal exhaled. Even this fox's expression was one of contentment as memories of his journey through cultivation flooded his mind. The hardships were beyond comprehension to outsiders.
tā shēn chū shǒu lái fǎ bù tíng biàn huàn 。 de yī shēng 。 guāng qiú pò miè nà yuán yīng yī jiù bǎo chí pán xī ér zuò de zī shì 。 xú xú fú qǐ 。 rán hòu hóng máng yī shǎn 。 mò rù le tā de tiān líng gài 。
他伸出手来法不停变换。的一声。光球破灭那元婴依旧保持盘膝而坐的姿势。徐徐浮起。然后红芒一闪。没入了他的天灵盖。
He stretched out a hand, and with a flicker, the light ball shattered. The元婴 remained in its seated position, slowly rising before the red glow enveloped it and entered his crown.
tōng yǔ zhēn rén zhàn le qǐ lái 。
通羽真人站了起来。
True Feather Immortal stood up.
jiāng shén shí fàng chū 。 yī sǎo hòu 。 liǎn shàng de biǎo qíng biàn de pǒ wèi gǔ guài xǐ yōu cān bàn 。
将神识放出。一扫后。脸上的表情变的颇为古怪喜忧参半。
Releasing his divine sense, he swept the area, his expression turning strange, a mix of joy and worry.
“ zhēn méi xiǎng dào zhè cì jié yīng 。 jìng huì yǐn lái huǒ xì yāo qín hái hǎo shī xiōng jiāng qí yǐn kāi 。 běn mén bìng wú dà ài 。”
“真没想到这次结婴。竟会引来火系妖禽还好师兄将其引开。本门并无大碍。”
"Who would have thought that this tribulation would summon a firebird? Thankfully, Senior Brother managed to divert it. Our sect is safe."
nán nán zì yǔ le yī jù zhī hòu 。 tōng yǔ shēn xíng yī huǎng 。 jìng xiāo shī de wú yǐng wú zōng 。
喃喃自语了一句之后。通羽身形一晃。竟消失的无影无踪。
After muttering these words, True Feather Immortal vanished without a trace.
yǔ cǐ tóng shí zhū wèi níng dān qī zhǎng lǎo yī jiù fú zài bàn kōng zhī zhōng 。 suí zhe shí jiān de liú shì 。 bù shǎo rén de biǎo qíng 。 yòu kāi shǐ xiǎn de jiāo zào bù ān 。
与此同时诸位凝丹期长老依旧浮在半空之中。随着时间的流逝。不少人的表情。又开始显的焦躁不安。
Meanwhile, the intermediate-stage condensation core elders still hovered in mid-air. As time passed, many of their expressions began to show signs of anxiety and restlessness.
zhè cì zhǎng mén zhēn rén jié yīng 。 huā de shí jiān yuǎn bǐ xiǎng xiàng zhōng de yào zhǎng 。 ér qiě hái yǐn lái tiān jié 。 suī rán yāo qín yǐ bèi shī shū zhù 。 kě yuǎn chù de bào liè shēng bù duàn chuán lái 。 hái shì ràng zhòng rén xīn jīng dǎn zhàn 。
这次掌门真人结婴。花的时间远比想象中的要长。而且还引来天劫。虽然妖禽已被师叔住。可远处的爆裂声不断传来。还是让众人心惊胆颤。
The tribulation for the senior immortal's元婴 had taken much longer than expected, and the continuous explosions from afar continued to unsettle everyone.
dāng rán yě bìng gěi rén rén shì rú cǐ 。
当然也并给人人是如此。
Of course, not all were affected this way.
lín xuān qiǎo rán fàng chū shén shí 。 guān chá zhe zhū wèi dào 。
林轩悄然放出神识。观察着诸位道。
Lin Xuan quietly extended his divine sense, observing the other cultivators. The best performance came from Six-star Elder; although he appeared calm, there was no hint of panic.
biǎo xiàn zuì hǎo de shì liù ** zhǎng lǎo 。 suī néng shuō qì dìng shén xián 。 dàn zhì shǎo kàn bù chū sī háo de huāng zhāng 。
表现最好的是六**长老。虽能说气定神闲。但至少看不出丝毫的慌张。
This was poise. Besides strength, these six elders also possessed exceptional temperaments.
zhè jiù shì qì dù 。 chú le lì 。 cǐ liù rén xīn xìng yě shì yī děng yī 。
这就是气度。除了力。此六人心性也是一等一。
As for Lin Xuan himself, he felt no worry. With Spirit Herb Mountain's premier capabilities in spiritual medicines, it would be unprecedented if he couldn't survive this minor tribulation.
zhì yú lín xuān zì jǐ méi yǒu sī háo dān xīn yǐ líng yào shān yōu zhōu shǒu qū yī zhǐ de shí lì 。 dōu bù néng dù guò zhè xiǎo | de tiān jié nà zhēn shì méi yǒu le tiān lǐ 。
至于林轩自己没有丝毫担心以灵药山幽州首屈一指的实力。都不能度过这小|的天劫那真是没有了天理。
While secretly observing everyone, he noticed that Shen傲天's expression was also unsettled. Clearly, the young sect leader was doing the same thing.
dāng tā àn zhōng guān chá zhòng rén shí hòu 。 fā xiàn shěn ào tiān de biǎo qíng yě shì yóu lí bù dìng 。 xiǎn rán zhè jiā huo zài yǔ zì jǐ zuò tóng yàng shì qíng 。
当他暗中观察众人时候。发现沈傲天的表情也是游离不定。显然这家伙在与自己做同样事情。
Lin Xuan's heart stirred. He wouldn't reveal his true feelings to the other. Although he wasn't skilled in acting, feigning anxiety and fear was within his capabilities.
lín xuān xīn zhōng yī dòng 。 zì rán bú huì ràng duì fāng kàn chū zì jǐ de xū shí 。 tā suī rán bìng bù shàn cháng yǎn xì dàn zhuāng yī zhuāng jǐn zhāng hài pà hái shì chuò chuò yǒu yú 。
林轩心中一动。自然不会让对方看出自己的虚实。他虽然并不擅长演戏但装一装紧张害怕还是绰绰有余。
He displayed a look of anxiousness, frequently glancing around as if agitated.
liǎn shàng lù chū xiē xǔ jiāo jí 。 bù shí huí tóu sì gù 。 yī fù xīn xù bù níng de biǎo qíng 。
脸上露出些许焦急。不时回头四顾。一副心绪不宁的表情。
Shen傲天 observed this with a hint of mockery on his lips. This young sect leader was too inexperienced; he couldn't be taken seriously.
shěn ào tiān kàn zài yǎn zhōng 。 zuǐ jiǎo biān lù chū yī sī jī cháo zhī sè 。 zhè wèi shǎo mén zhǔ 。 dào dǐ hái shì tài nián qīng le 。 chén bú zhù qì 。 bù zú wèi lǜ 。
沈傲天看在眼中。嘴角边露出一丝讥嘲之色。这位少门主。到底还是太年轻了。沉不住气。不足为虑。
Just when the atmosphere became tense, Lin Xuan engaged in a subtle game of wits with Shen傲天. Suddenly, from afar, the valley experienced a change.
jiù zài qì fēn yǒu xiē jǐn zhāng 。 xuān què yǔ duì fāng gōu xīn dòu jiǎo zhī shí 。 nà bù yuǎn xiá gǔ 。 tū rán fā shēng le biàn huà 。
就在气氛有些紧张。轩却与对方勾心斗角之时。那不远峡谷。突然发生了变化。
First came a clear and long-lasting cry that echoed like the roar of an ancient divine beast. Then, rays of golden light illuminated the sky as a strange fragrance wafted out.
xiān shì yī shēng qīng míng chuán chū 。 yán yōu zhǎng 。 jiù yǒu rú yuǎn gǔ shí qī shén shòu de hǒu jiào yī yàng 。
先是一声清鸣传出。延悠长。就有如远古时期神兽的吼叫一样。
This was clearly a sign of the formation of a fully formed元婴.
jiē zhe xiá guāng wàn zhàng 。 gèng cóng lǐ miàn piāo chū le yī zhèn yì xiāng 。
接着霞光万丈。更从里面飘出了一阵异香。
The group exchanged glances, their expressions complex with a mix of excitement, envy, and joy, but also some lingering resentment that quickly faded. The most prominent emotion was jealousy.
zhè xiǎn rán shì yuán yīng dà chéng xiān zhào 。
这显然是元婴大成先兆。
An元婴! Among all the major sects in Yanzhou and countless scattered cultivators, only a few had such an opportunity.
zhòng rén miàn miàn xiāng qù 。 biǎo qíng què shì fù zá yǐ jí 。 yǒu xīng fèn 。 yǒu xiàn mù 。 yǒu huān xǐ 。 dàn yě yǒu shǎo xǔ bù gān zhī sè yī yǐn ér méi 。 dàn zuì duō de hái shì jí dù 。
众人面面相觑。表情却是复杂以极。有兴奋。有羡慕。有欢喜。但也有少许不甘之色一隐而没。但最多的还是嫉妒。
After forming an元婴, one's abilities would greatly increase, extending their lifespan to a thousand years. After so much effort in cultivation, everyone sought nothing more than eternal life. Although an元婴 couldn't guarantee that, it was the pinnacle of existence in this world.
yuán yīng a 。 fàng yǎn yōu zhōu dà xiǎo zōng mén 。 yǐ jí shǔ bù qīng de sàn xiū 。 yǒu cǐ jī yuán de 。 yě bù guò liáo jǐ rén ér yǐ 。
元婴啊。放眼幽州大小宗门。以及数不清的散修。有此机缘的。也不过寥几人而已。
Lin Xuan also turned his gaze back to the distant valley, his expression thoughtful.
yuán yīng níng chéng yǐ hòu 。 bù jǐn shén tōng dà zēng 。 yán gèng huì bào zhǎng zhì qiān nián 。 zhòng rén xīn kǔ xiū xiān 。 suǒ qiú yě bù guò cháng shēng ér yǐ 。 yuán yīng suī rán shàng zuò bú dào zhè yì diǎn 。 dàn yǐ shì zhè yī jiè zuì dǐng jiān de cún zài 。
元婴凝成以后。不仅神通大增。延更会暴涨至千年。众人辛苦修仙。所求也不过长生而已。元婴虽然尚做不到这一点。但已是这一界最顶尖的存在。
To be honest, he felt some envy, but Lin Xuan believed he would reach this stage someday. He took a deep breath and calmed his agitated heart.
lín xuān cǐ shí yě shōu huí le mù guāng 。 wàng zhe nà bù yuǎn chù de shān gǔ 。 liǎn shàng xiàn chū ruò yǒu suǒ sī zhī sè 。
林轩此时也收回了目光。望着那不远处的山谷。脸上现出若有所思之色。
A flash of light appeared as an elderly man with a refined appearance descended from the sky.
píng xīn ér lùn 。 yě yǒu xiē dù 。 dàn lín xuān xiāng xìn zì jǐ chí zǎo yě huì yǒu zhè yī tiān 。 tā shēn shēn de xī le kǒu qì 。 jiāng nà fān yǒng jī dòng de xīn qíng píng fù xià qù 。
平心而论。也有些妒。但林轩相信自己迟早也会有这一天。他深深的吸了口气。将那翻涌激动的心情平复下去。
It had been years since they last met; Master not only looked no older but also had a more rosy complexion, his flowing robes and youthful demeanor making him look like a divine being.
guāng huá yī shǎn 。 yī wèi xiān fēng dào gǔ de lǎo zhě zài tiān kōng zhōng chū xiàn 。
光华一闪。一位仙风道骨的老者在天空中出现。
"Salutations, Master."
shù zài wèi jiàn 。 shī zūn bù jǐn róng mào sī háo wèi jiàn shuāi lǎo 。 ér qiě pí fū yuè fā de hóng rùn 。 dà xiù piāo piāo 。 tóng yán hè 。 hé tā suǒ chí de fú chén 。 jiù xiàng shén xiān xià fán yì bān 。
数载未见。师尊不仅容貌丝毫未见衰老。而且皮肤越发的红润。大袖飘飘。童颜鹤。合他所持的拂尘。就像神仙下凡一般。
"Salutations, Senior Immortal."
“ cān jiàn shī ”
“参见师”
Lin Xuan stood at the forefront with the six law enforcers behind him. His condensation core cultivators formed several rows, bowing deeply in respect.
“ cān jiàn zhǎng mén 。”。
“参见掌门。”。
Previously, True Feather Immortal was already highly respected; now that he had formed an元婴, everyone naturally dared not show any disrespect.
lín xuān yǔ liù dà zhí fǎ zhǎng zhàn zài zuì qián miàn 。 tā de níng dān qī xiū shì zé liè wèi jǐ pái 。 gōng shēn xíng lǐ 。 liǎn shàng mǎn shì gōng jìng zhī yì 。
林轩与六大执法长站在最前面。他的凝丹期修士则列为几排。躬身行礼。脸上满是恭敬之意。
"Please rise."
yǐ qián de tōng yǔ zhēn rén 。 jiù wēi xìn sù zhù 。 rú jīn níng chéng le yuán yīng 。 zhòng rén zì rán gèng bù gǎn yǒu sī de qīng màn 。
以前的通羽真人。就威信素著。如今凝成了元婴。众人自然更不敢有丝的轻慢。
True Feather Immortal's face showed a smile. Just months ago, they were on equal footing, but according to the rules of cultivation, his seniority was now equivalent to Xu Jinqing's.
“ zhū wèi shī zhí qǐng qǐ 。”
“诸位师侄请起。”
"Xuan'er, you've also come."
tōng yǔ zhēn rén de liǎn shàng lù chū yī sī xiào yì 。 jiù zài shù yuè yǐ qián 。 tā hái yǔ zhòng rén píng bèi lùn jiāo 。 bù guò àn zhào xiū xiān jiè de guī jǔ 。 rú jīn bèi fēn zé yǔ xú jǐn qīng píng qí 。
通羽真人的脸上露出一丝笑意。就在数月以前。他还与众人平辈论交。不过按照修仙界的规矩。如今辈分则与徐锦青平齐。
"Greetings upon your great accomplishment as an元婴."
“ xuān ér 。 nǐ yě lái le ”
“轩儿。你也来了”
True Feather Immortal's lips curled into a smile before he opened his mouth. Suddenly, his brow furrowed: "I thank all of you for your efforts in protecting me during this tribulation. Except for Shen Senior Brother and Xuan'er, everyone else can disperse now."
“ gōng zūn yuán yīng dà chéng 。”
“恭尊元婴大成。”
"Respect the command."
tōng yǔ zhēn rén de zuǐ jiǎo biān lù chū yī sī xiào yì 。 zhāng zuǐ zhèng yào shuō shén me 。 tū rán méi tou yí zhòu ：“ zhè cì lǎo fū jié yīng 。 xiè zhū wèi shī zhí chū lì hù chí 。 chú le shěn shī dì yǔ xuān ér 。 qí tā rén dōu sàn le ba 。”
通羽真人的嘴角边露出一丝笑意。张嘴正要说什么。突然眉头一皱：“这次老夫结婴。谢诸位师侄出力护持。除了沈师弟与轩儿。其他人都散了吧。”
Although the group found True Feather Immortal's order strange, no one dared to question it. They bowed and retreated.
“ zūn fǎ yù 。”
“尊法谕。”
Only the Hu surname elder among the six law enforcers showed a hint of bitter resentment on his face but ultimately remained silent.
zhòng rén suī rán jué tōng yǔ zhēn rén de zhè dào mìng yǒu xiē qí guài 。 dàn rán bú huì yǒu shuí shǎ shǎ de kāi kǒu zhì yí 。 xíng le yī lǐ 。 gè zì tuì qù 。
众人虽然觉通羽真人的这道命有些奇怪。但然不会有谁傻傻的开口质疑。行了一礼。各自退去。
Lin Xuan observed from the side, taking in every detail with his respectful demeanor complementing True Feather Immortal's smile perfectly, creating an image of filial piety.
wéi yǒu liù dà zhǎng lǎo zhōng de nà hú xìng lǎo zhě 。| shàng shǎn guò yī sī yīn hěn de bù mǎn zhī sè 。 dàn zuì hòu hái shì méi yǒu kāi kǒu 。
唯有六大长老中的那胡姓老者。|上闪过一丝阴狠的不满之色。但最后还是没有开口。
The distant explosions continued. The outcome was unknown, but it was clear that the bird wasn't easily defeated; even an intermediate-stage元婴 cultivator couldn't subdue it.
lín xuān lěng yǎn páng guān 。 jiāng yī qiè jǐn shōu yǎn 。 dàn shàng 。 shì mǎn liǎn de gōng jìng 。 yǔ tōng yǔ zhēn rén de wēi xiào xiāng de yì zhāng 。 hǎo yī fù shī cí tú xiào 。
林轩冷眼旁观。将一切尽收眼。但上。是满脸的恭敬。与通羽真人的微笑相的益彰。好一副师慈徒孝。
"Xuan'er, Shen Senior Brother, let's go assist Senior Brother."
yuǎn chù yī jiù yǒu lóng lóng de bào liè shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ 。 yě bù zhī zhàn kuàng rú hé 。 dàn xiǎn rán 。 nà yāo qín yě bìng bù hǎo duì fù 。 jìng rán lián yuán yīng zhōng qī de xiū shì 。 yě nài hé bù de 。
远处依旧有隆隆的爆裂声传入耳朵。也不知战况如何。但显然。那妖禽也并不好对付。竟然连元婴中期的修士。也奈何不的。
After True Feather Immortal finished speaking, he moved and transformed into a red light, flying toward the distance. Lin Xuan and Shen傲天 exchanged glances before following suit, each displaying their abilities as they chased after him.
After the bird revealed itself, its wings flapped, sending a wave of scorching heat towards Lin Xuan. The sky was dotted with sparks as fire rain began to fall.
All the cultivators present were visibly taken aback. Xu Jinqing let out a cold snort and his shoulders moved slightly, transforming into a dazzling purple light that shot like lightning toward the flaming bird.
The size difference between them was significant, but an intermediate-stage元婴 cultivator's abilities were formidable. The bird, caught off guard, suffered a minor setback, becoming furious as it emitted a sharp cry and fiercely attacked Xu Jinqing.
However, Xu Jinqing did not engage in battle. He changed direction and flew toward the horizon.
The phoenix became even more enraged, flames erupting from its body as it spread its enormous wings and followed closely behind.
The others breathed a sigh of relief.
Although they didn't know why the heavenly tribulation had transformed into a bird, it was clear that they had successfully weathered the crisis. As for Senior Uncle's safety, they were not overly concerned; an intermediate-stage元婴 cultivator was already one of the top existences in this world.

True Feather Immortal's lips curled into a smile before he opened his mouth. Suddenly, his brow furrowed: "I thank all of you for your efforts in protecting me during this tribulation. Except for Shen Senior Brother and Xuan'er, everyone else can disperse now."
"Respect the command."
Although the group found True Feather Immortal's order strange, no one dared to question it. They bowed and retreated.
Only the Hu surname elder among the six law enforcers showed a hint of bitter resentment on his face but ultimately remained silent.
Lin Xuan observed from the side, taking in every detail with his respectful demeanor complementing True Feather Immortal's smile perfectly, creating an image of filial piety.
The distant explosions continued. The outcome was unknown, but it was clear that the bird wasn't easily defeated; even an intermediate-stage元婴 cultivator couldn't subdue it.
"Xuan'er, Shen Senior Brother, let's go assist Senior Brother."
After True Feather Immortal finished speaking, he moved and transformed into a red light, flying toward the distance. Lin Xuan and Shen傲天 exchanged glances before following suit, each displaying their abilities as they chased after him.
