lín xuān dà gǎn jīng qí ， duì fāng jū rán néng gòu dǎng xià fú bǎo de yī jī 。
林轩大感惊奇，对方居然能够挡下符宝的一击。
Lin Xuan was greatly surprised to see that the opponent could actually withstand an attack from a talisman artifact.
tā yǎn jīng bàn mī ， xiàng qián fāng wàng le guò qù ， zhǐ jiàn zài liǎng rén zhī jiān ， shī qì líng lì ， fān yǒng gè bù tíng ， gè zhǒng qí guāng hù xiāng tūn shì jiāo zhī ， zhěng gè tiān kōng dōu biàn chéng le hūn àn de yán sè ， nà gǎn jué jiù fǎng fú yào tiān bēng dì liè 。
他眼睛半眯，向前方望了过去，只见在两人之间，尸气灵力，翻涌个不停，各种奇光互相吞噬交织，整个天空都变成了昏暗的颜色，那感觉就仿佛要天崩地裂。
He narrowed his eyes and looked ahead. Between the two figures, a swirling mass of corpse energy and spiritual essence surged, with various strange lights devouring and intertwining each other. The entire sky turned dark, as if the heavens were about to collapse.
méi tóu yī tiāo ， lín xuān sǒng rán dòng róng ， dàn hěn kuài yòu zhuǎn wéi jī cháo zhī sè ， zhè guǐ yì de shī mó ， què shí bǐ xiǎng xiàng de nán chán de duō ， dàn shèng fù yī jiù shì méi yǒu xuán niàn de 。
眉头一挑，林轩耸然动容，但很快又转为讥嘲之色，这诡异的尸魔，确实比想像的难缠的多，但胜负依旧是没有悬念的。
Raising an eyebrow, Lin Xuan was moved but quickly changed to a mocking expression. This eerie corpse demon was indeed more troublesome than he had anticipated, but the outcome remained uncertain.
lín xuān shēn chū shǒu lái ， chōng qián fāng yì diǎn ， jiǔ tiān míng yuè huán kāi shǐ dī liū liū de xuán zhuǎn ， cóng qí miàn ， pēn chū hóng bái èr sè de líng qì ， huàn huà chū le shù shí tóu huǒ lóng yǔ bīng jiāo de shēn yǐng 。
林轩伸出手来，冲前方一点，九天明月环开始滴溜溜的旋转，从其面，喷出红白二色的灵气，幻化出了数十头火龙与冰蛟的身影。
Lin Xuan stretched out his hand and pointed forward. The Nine Heavens Bright Moon Ring began spinning, emitting red and white spiritual essence that transformed into dozens of fire dragons and ice serpents.
lín xuān yì diǎn zhǐ ， huǒ lóng yǔ bīng jiāo dùn shí fēng yōng ér qù 。
林轩一点指，火龙与冰蛟顿时蜂拥而去。
With a flick of his finger, the fire dragons and ice serpents rushed forth like a thunderclap. The sky was filled with the sound of explosions, breaking the brief stalemate as purple-red demon fog began to retreat.
fǎng rú jīng léi de bào liè shēng lián chéng yī piàn ， bù tíng de chuán rù ěr biān ， duǎn zàn de jiāng chí dùn shí bèi dǎ pò ， zǐ hóng sè de mó wù kāi shǐ xiàng hòu tuì suō 。
仿如惊雷的爆裂声连成一片，不停的传入耳边，短暂的僵持顿时被打破，紫红色的魔雾开始向后退缩。
Seeing this, all the ghost heads showed fear in their eyes, desperately injecting more power, but they still couldn't hold back.
jiàn dào cǐ mù ， suǒ yǒu de guǐ tóu dōu mù lù kǒng jù zhī sè ， pīn mìng jiāng fǎ lì zhù rù ， rán ér yī jiù dǐ dǎng bú zhù 。
见到此幕，所有的鬼头都目露恐惧之色，拼命将法力注入，然而依旧抵挡不住。
They tried to escape, but it was too late. The entire attack pushed them back into a sea of frenzied spiritual energy.
xiǎng táo ， kě xī wéi shí yǐ wǎn ， zhěng gè gōng jī bèi tuī le huí lái ， qǐng kè zhī jiān yǐ jiāng tā yān mò zài yī piàn líng lì de kuáng bào zhī hǎi 。
想逃，可惜为时已晚，整个攻击被推了回来，顷刻之间已将他淹没在一片灵力的狂暴之海。
"Ah..."
“ bù ……”
“不……”
A sharp cry echoed far away as Lin Xuan naturally did not hesitate to drive his spiritual essence, aiming to finish the battle in one fell swoop!
líng lì de cǎn jiào shēng yuǎn yuǎn chuán lái ， lín xuān zì rán bú huì xīn cí shǒu ruǎn ， qū dòng líng lì ， wù qiú bì qí gōng yú yī yì ！
凌厉的惨叫声远远传来，林轩自然不会心慈手软，驱动灵力，务求毕其功于一役！
The thunderous explosions continued for what felt like a long time before gradually subsiding.
bào liè shēng jīng tiān dòng dì ， zú zú guò le yī zhǎn chá de shí jiān cái jiàn jiàn píng xī 。
爆裂声惊天动地，足足过了一盏茶的时间才渐渐平息。
All the corpse energy and demon fog had been completely swept away. A flame formed in Lin Xuan's hand as the three-foot-long sword vanished, returning to its original blood-red talisman form, though it was now less lustrous. Sighing, he knew that this artifact could still be used a couple more times.
mó wù shī qì yǐ wán quán bèi sǎo dàng dài jìn ， yī tuán huǒ yàn zài lín xuān de shǒu lǐ chéng xíng ， nà sān chǐ qīng fēng xiāo shī bú jiàn ， chóng xīn huán yuán chéng le xuè hóng sè de fú bǎo ， kě xī guāng zé yòu àn dàn le bù shǎo ， lín xuān tàn le kǒu qì ， lǐ miàn de wēi néng zuì duō hái néng shǐ yòng yī liǎng cì 。
魔雾尸气已完全被扫荡殆尽，一团火焰在林轩的手里成形，那三尺青锋消失不见，重新还原成了血红色的符宝，可惜光泽又黯淡了不少，林轩叹了口气，里面的威能最多还能使用一两次。
He carefully stored it away.
jiāng qí xiǎo xīn de shōu rù huái zhōng 。
将其小心的收入怀中。
Next, Lin Xuan looked around and soon noticed something. The sky had cleared, but about thirty feet away, a dark, shiny gemstone floated in the air.
suí hòu lín xuān yóu mù sì gù ， hěn kuài jiù yǒu suǒ fā xiàn ， zhǐ jiàn tiān kōng yǐ qīng chè míng jìng ， dàn jù lí zì jǐ shù shí zhàng yuǎn de dì fāng ， què xuán fú zhe yī kē yǒu hēi fà liàng de bǎo zhū 。
随后林轩游目四顾，很快就有所发现，只见天空已清澈明净，但距离自己数十丈远的地方，却悬浮着一颗黝黑发亮的宝珠。
Lin Xuan's sleeve flapped, sending out a beam of light that snatched the gemstone back.
lín xuān xiù páo yī fú ， yī dào guāng xiá fēi lüè ér chū ， jiāng qí juǎn huí lái le 。
林轩袖袍一拂，一道光霞飞掠而出，将其卷回来了。
About the size of a dragon’s eye, it was ice-cold to the touch, but its spiritual essence was very faint. It wasn't a corpse pearl.
yuē yǒu lóng yǎn dà xiǎo ， tōng tǐ bīng liáng ， rán ér líng qì què shí fēn dàn bó ， xiǎn rán bú shì shī zhū 。
约有龙眼大小，通体冰凉，然而灵气却十分淡薄，显然不是尸珠。
After some hesitation, Lin Xuan cast a spell. The gemstone absorbed it without any change.
lín xuān lüè yī chóu chú ， yī dào fǎ jué dǎ chū 。 cǐ zhū xī shōu yǐ hòu ， què shén me biàn huà dōu méi yǒu 。
林轩略一踌躇，一道法诀打出。此珠吸收以后，却什么变化都没有。
Lin Xuan frowned slightly. He then released his divine sense and enveloped the gemstone, still unable to penetrate it at all.
lín xuān bù yóu de yǒu xiē zhòu méi le ， suí hòu fàng chū shén shí ， jiāng cǐ zhū lǒng zhào ， yī jiù wú fǎ tòu rù fēn háo 。
林轩不由得有些皱眉了，随后放出神识，将此珠笼罩，依旧无法透入分毫。
After two failed attempts, Lin Xuan was not worried but rather pleased. This gemstone must have some extraordinary properties that he couldn't yet understand; he would study it more later.
yī lián cháng shì liǎng cì dōu yǐ shī bài gào zhōng ， lín xuān què bù yōu fǎn xǐ ， cǐ zhū kěn dìng yǒu fēi fán zhī chù ， zhǐ bù guò yī shí wú fǎ wù chū ， yǐ hòu zài màn màn yán jiū 。
一连尝试两次都以失败告终，林轩却不忧反喜，此珠肯定有非凡之处，只不过一时无法悟出，以后再慢慢研究。
Next, he flicked a finger, summoning both the Three Yin Bone Shield and the storage bag of the Xing surname cultivator. His face lit up with joy at this significant收获. Satisfied, he carefully stored them away.
jiē zhe tā zhǐ tóu yī gōu ， sān yīn bái gǔ dùn yǔ xīn xìng xiū shì de chǔ wù dài jiù fēi dào le miàn qián ， lín xuān liǎn lù chū xǐ sè ， zhè huí de shōu huò kě zhēn shì bù xiǎo ， xīn mǎn yì zú de jiāng qí shōu hǎo 。
接着他指头一勾，三阴白骨盾与辛姓修士的储物袋就飞到了面前，林轩脸露出喜色，这回的收获可真是不小，心满意足的将其收好。
The corpse demon was now defeated, and the top-grade yin meridian had become his possession. It wasn't for nothing that he had endured so much trouble. Of course, before training, he still needed to thoroughly search the island.
shī mó yǐ miè ， jí pǐn yīn mài chéng le náng zhōng zhī wù ， dào yě bù wǎng fèi zì jǐ yī fān xīn kǔ ， dāng rán ， zài xiū liàn yǐ qián ， hái yào hǎo hǎo de jiāng xiǎo dǎo sōu suǒ yī biàn 。
尸魔已灭，极品阴脉成了囊中之物，倒也不枉费自己一番辛苦，当然，在修炼以前，还要好好的将小岛搜索一遍。
Lin Xuan closed his eyes and released his divine sense...
lín xuān bì shuāng móu ， jiāng shén shí fàng chū ……
林轩闭双眸，将神识放出……
A moment later, a strange expression appeared in his eyes.
piàn kè hòu ， tā de yǎn zhōng liú lù chū gǔ guài zhī sè 。
片刻后，他的眼中流露出古怪之色。
"This is peculiar; there are other cultivators on this little island. Could they be fellow corpse demons?" Lin Xuan's face showed amusement as he rubbed his forehead and muttered to himself.
“ zhè dào qí le ， xiǎo dǎo jū rán hái yǒu bié de xiū xiān zhě ， nán dào shì shī mó de tóng huǒ ？” lín xuān liǎn lù chū wán wèi zhī sè ， yǐ shǒu fǔ é ， nán nán de kāi kǒu 。
“这倒奇了，小岛居然还有别的修仙者，难道是尸魔的同伙？”林轩脸露出玩味之色，以手抚额，喃喃的开口。
He didn't expect any results here, so Lin Xuan shifted into a streak of light and flew towards the nest of the corpse demon.
zài zhè lǐ xiǎng zì rán bú huì yǒu jié guǒ ， lín xuān shēn xíng yī huǎng ， huà wèi yī dào dùn guāng ， fēi xiàng le shī mó de lǎo cháo 。
在这里想自然不会有结果，林轩身形一晃，化为一道遁光，飞向了尸魔的老巢。
Almost instantly, he arrived at the foot of a steep mountain peak over a hundred feet high. The entire mountain was made of hard rock, with a grand cave府 carved out at its base.
zhuǎn shùn jí dào 。
转瞬即到。
In front of the entrance to this cave府, some purple fog lingered.
nà shì yī zuò dǒu qiào de shān fēng ， gāo bǎi yú zhàng ， zhěng zuò shān tǐ ， dōu shì jiān yìng de yán shí ， ér zài shān fēng dǐ bù ， zé yòng dà shén tōng kāi pì le yī zuò dòng fǔ 。
那是一座陡峭的山峰，高百余丈，整座山体，都是坚硬的岩石，而在山峰底部，则用大神通开辟了一座洞府。
It looked unremarkable, but Lin Xuan's expertise revealed that it was quite formidable.
dòng fǔ qián miàn ， mí màn zhe yī xiē zǐ wù 。
洞府前面，弥漫着一些紫雾。
Unfortunately, there was no one to maintain it, so how could he be stopped?
kàn qù háo bù qǐ yǎn ， dàn yǐ lín xuān de zào yì ， què kàn chū cǐ jìn zhì pǒ wèi bù fán 。
看去毫不起眼，但以林轩的造诣，却看出此禁制颇为不凡。
A smile appeared on Lin Xuan’s lips as his sleeves flapped out, releasing several fireballs the size of heads.
kě xī méi yǒu rén zhǔ chí ， rú hé néng gòu dǎng zhù zì jǐ 。
可惜没有人主持，如何能够挡住自己。
"Quickly!"
lín xuān de zuǐ jiǎo biān ， liú lù chū yī sī xiào yì ， yī xiù yī juàn yī shōu ， jiù fàng chū le shù shí kē tóu lú dà xiǎo de huǒ qiú 。
林轩的嘴角边，流露出一丝笑意，衣袖一卷一收，就放出了数十颗头颅大小的火球。
Lin Xuan pinched a hand seal. The fireballs converged into a sphere over ten feet in diameter before hatching like chicks from an egg, revealing a beautiful phoenix.
“ jí ！”
“疾！”
His face showed satisfaction; summoning a demon infant indeed made a significant difference. This mid-grade earth-level spell was now within his reach.
lín xuān shuāng shǒu yī qiā ， nà xiē huǒ qiú jù zài yì qǐ 。 zhí jìng péng zhàng dào zhàng xǔ ， suí hòu fǎng fú yòu niǎo chū ké ， yī zhī měi lì de huǒ niǎo cóng lǐ miàn fū huà ér chū 。
林轩双手一掐，那些火球聚在一起。直径膨胀到丈许，随后仿佛幼鸟出壳，一只美丽的火鸟从里面孵化而出。
"Go!"
lín xuān liǎn lù chū mǎn yì zhī sè ， jié chéng mó yīng hòu guǒ rán dà bù xiāng tóng ， zhè zhòng dì jiē zhōng pǐn de fǎ shù zì jǐ suí shǒu jiù néng fàng chū 。
林轩脸露出满意之色，结成魔婴后果然大不相同，这种地阶中品的法术自己随手就能放出。
With a light command, the phoenix spread its wings and circled above Lin Xuan's head before diving towards the cave entrance.
lín xuān yī shēng qīng chì ， suí zhe tā shén niàn de qū shǐ ， huǒ niǎo zhǎn chì ， zài tóu dǐng lüè yī pán xuán ， jiù lì xiào zhe chōng xiàng dòng kǒu 。
林轩一声轻叱，随着他神念的驱使，火鸟展翅，在头顶略一盘旋，就厉啸着冲向洞口。
The禁制 was triggered as the purple fog rapidly coalesced into a vortex. Inside the vortex, a strange tiger with two wings opened its blood-red maw to attack the phoenix.
jìn zhì bèi chù fā ， nà xiē zǐ wù jí sù liú dòng ， xíng chéng le yí gè xuán wō ， xuán wō zhī zhōng ， shì yī bèi shēng shuāng chì de guài hǔ 。
禁制被触发，那些紫雾急速流动，形成了一个漩涡，漩涡之中，是一背生双翅的怪虎。
Meanwhile, inside the cave府, Lin Family’s young master was joyfully playing with his fan, having just received the storage bags of the old man and bald cultivator killed by the corpse demon's avatar earlier that day.
zhāng kāi xuè pén dà kǒu ， yíng xiàng huǒ niǎo 。
张开血盆大口，迎向火鸟。
"Who would have thought a mere wandering cultivator could possess such an ancient artifact. Once Grandfather returns, I'll beg him to give this to me, and my powers will instantly increase."
……
……
The young master of the Ning family, dressed in fine robes, showed greed as he dreamed of his enhanced abilities. Suddenly, the ground shook violently, and explosions echoed outside.
què shuō dòng fǔ zhī zhōng ， lín jiā shǎo zhǔ zhèng shǒu chí bā jiāo shàn ， xīn xǐ yì cháng de bǎ wán ， shù gè shí chén yǐ qián ， shī mó fēn shēn miè shā le lǎo zhě yǔ guāng tóu xiū shì ， jiāng tā men de chǔ wù dài juǎn huí 。
却说洞府之中，林家少主正手持芭蕉扇，欣喜异常的把玩，数个时辰以前，尸魔分身灭杀了老者与光头修士，将他们的储物袋卷回。
"What's happening? Someone is attacking the禁制. Impossible, could Grandfather have fallen?"
“ xiǎng bú dào qū qū yī míng sàn xiū ， què yǒu zhè yàng de shén miào gǔ bǎo ， yī huì er děng lǎo zǔ huí lái yǐ hòu ， yāng qiú tā jiāng cǐ wù cì yǔ wǒ ， běn shǎo zhǔ de shén tōng jiù néng lì kè dà zēng le 。”
“想不到区区一名散修，却有这样的神妙古宝，一会儿等老祖回来以后，央求他将此物赐予我，本少主的神通就能立刻大增了。”
The Ning family’s young master was stunned, his face turning pale with fear. He pointed a finger, and an image appeared on a mirror-like object in front of him, showing what was happening outside.
shēn chuān jǐn páo de níng jiā shǎo zhǔ ， liǎn lù chū tān lán zhī sè ， zhèng měi měi de xiǎng zhe ， tū rán yī zhèn dì dòng shān yáo ， wài miàn gèng shì chuán lái jiē lián jù bào 。
身穿锦袍的宁家少主，脸露出贪婪之色，正美美的想着，突然一阵地动山摇，外面更是传来接连巨爆。
Though the corpse demon's禁制 was formidable, it took Lin Xuan only some time to break through. The strange tiger created from the purple fog was already retreating after being hit by the phoenix. With another flick of his finger, several sword lights appeared and entered the禁制.
“ zěn me huí shì ， yǒu rén gōng jī jìn zhì ， bù kě néng ， nán dào lǎo zǔ luò bài ？”
“怎么回事，有人攻击禁制，不可能，难道老祖落败？”
Explosions sounded like raindrops as a hidden array flag behind the rocks turned into ash.
níng jiā shǎo zhǔ yī dāi ， liǎn de biǎo qíng dùn shí biàn dé wàn fēn kǒng jù ， tā shēn shǒu yì diǎn ， qián miàn yí gè jìng zi yàng de dōng xī dùn shí xiàn chū le dòng wài de huà miàn 。
宁家少主一呆，脸的表情顿时变得万分恐惧，他伸手一点，前面一个镜子样的东西顿时现出了洞外的画面。
Another one followed...
shī mó shè xià de jìn zhì suī rán bù fán ， dàn duì lín xuān lái shuō ， zuì duō pò jiě de shí hòu huā yì diǎn shí jiān ， nà zǐ wù suǒ biàn huà chū lái de guài hǔ ， yǐ jīng bèi huǒ niǎo dǎ dī jié jié bài tuì ， lín xuān zài qū zhǐ yī dàn ， qī bā dào jiàn guāng xiǎn xiàn chū lái ， yě shā rù dào jìn zhì lǐ miàn 。
尸魔设下的禁制虽然不凡，但对林轩来说，最多破解的时候花一点时间，那紫雾所变化出来的怪虎，已经被火鸟打的节节败退，林轩再屈指一弹，七八道剑光显现出来，也杀入到禁制里面。
In less than a tea time, the entire阵法 disintegrated.
bào liè shēng mì rú yǔ diǎn ， jiē zhe mǒu miàn yǐn cáng zài shān shí hòu de zhèn qí huà wèi huī yān 。
爆裂声密如雨点，接着某面隐藏在山石后的阵旗化为灰烟。
Seeing the array disk split in half, the Ning family’s young master's expression was beyond horror. Terrified and panicking, he recognized that the youth who had broken through the禁制 was likely the senior mentioned as possibly an元婴 cultivator by his grandfather.
suí hòu yòu shì yí miàn 。
随后又是一面。
It seemed that Grandfather had truly fallen to this person.
……
……
With such power, the Ning family’s young master naturally didn't dare resist.
bú dào yī zhǎn chá de shí jiān ， zhěng gè zhèn fǎ jiù yǐ yān xiāo yún sàn 。
不到一盏茶的时间，整个阵法就已烟消云散。
What should he do?
kàn zhuó shǒu zhōng de zhèn pán liè wèi liǎng bàn ， níng jiā shǎo zhǔ de biǎo qíng nán kàn dào le jí diǎn ， jīng kǒng ér huāng luàn ， cǐ kè tā yǐ rèn chū ， nà pò jìn de shào nián zhèng shì lǎo zǔ kǒu zhōng yí sì yuán yīng de gāo shǒu 。
看着手中的阵盘裂为两半，宁家少主的表情难看到了极点，惊恐而慌乱，此刻他已认出，那破禁的少年正是老祖口中疑似元婴的高手。
This person was greedy and afraid of death. He quickly pointed his fingers, releasing a series of阴wind to sweep away all the treasures and crystals in the cave府, intending to escape with them.
kàn lái lǎo zǔ shì zhēn de bài zài le tā de shǒu zhōng 。
看来老祖是真的败在了他的手中。
But just as he finished, a flash of green light appeared. Lin Xuan had split the giant stone door with his sword and stood before him.
duì fāng rú cǐ shén tōng ， níng jiā shǎo zhǔ zì rán xīng bù qǐ fǎn kàng de niàn tou 。
对方如此神通，宁家少主自然兴不起反抗的念头。
"You..."
zěn me bàn ？
怎么办？
The Ning family’s young master's face turned pale, and he kneeled down, shivering uncontrollably.
cǐ rén pà sǐ ér tān lán ， dāng rán shǒu zhǐ lián diǎn 。 fàng chū yī dào dào yīn fēng chū lái ， jiāng dòng fǔ nèi de fǎ bǎo jīng shí quán dōu xí juǎn yī kōng ， xiǎng yào jiā dài zhe táo zǒu 。
此人怕死而贪婪，当然手指连点。放出一道道阴风出来，将洞府内的法宝晶石全都席卷一空，想要夹带着逃走。
With his power now revealed, the overwhelming spiritual essence pressed him into submission.
rán ér gāng gāng shōu shí wán ， jiù kàn jiàn qīng guāng yī shǎn 。 lín xuān yǐ jiāng dòng mén de jù shí pǐ chéng liǎng bàn ， lái dào le tā de miàn qián 。
然而刚刚收拾完，就看见青光一闪。林轩已将洞门的巨石劈成两半，来到了他的面前。
"Senior, please spare my life. I beg for your mercy."
“ nǐ ……” níng jiā shǎo zhǔ dùn shí liǎn rú sǐ huī ， shuāng xī yī ruǎn de guì le xià lái ， yá chǐ gē gē de dǎ zhàn 。
“你……”宁家少主顿时脸如死灰，双膝一软的跪了下来，牙齿咯咯的打颤。
Knowing that this person could slay a corpse demon, there was no way to resist. He knew it was wise to adapt and survive in the cultivation world by being thick-skinned.
shì dào rú jīn ， lín xuān zì rán bú huì yǐn cáng xiū wèi 。 guāng shì nà páng bó de fǎ lì yǐ jīng yā dé tā chuǎn bù guò qì 。
事到如今，林轩自然不会隐藏修为。光是那磅礴的法力已经压得他喘不过气。
With his promising future, he didn't want to die here. Begging pitifully, he hoped to prolong his life.
Lin Xuan was greatly surprised to see that the opponent could actually withstand an attack from a talisman artifact.
He narrowed his eyes and looked ahead. Between the two figures, a swirling mass of corpse energy and spiritual essence surged, with various strange lights devouring and intertwining each other. The entire sky turned dark, as if the heavens were about to collapse.
Raising an eyebrow, Lin Xuan was moved but quickly changed to a mocking expression. This eerie corpse demon was indeed more troublesome than he had anticipated, but the outcome remained uncertain.
Lin Xuan stretched out his hand and pointed forward. The Nine Heavens Bright Moon Ring began spinning, emitting red and white spiritual essence that transformed into dozens of fire dragons and ice serpents.

The禁制 was triggered as the purple fog rapidly coalesced into a vortex. Inside the vortex, a strange tiger with two wings opened its blood-red maw to attack the phoenix.

In less than a tea time, the entire阵法 disintegrated.
Seeing the array disk split in half, the Ning family’s young master's expression was beyond horror. Terrified and panicking, he recognized that the youth who had broken through the禁制 was likely the senior mentioned as possibly an元婴 cultivator by his grandfather.
It seemed that Grandfather had truly fallen to this person.
With such power, the Ning family’s young master naturally didn't dare resist.
What should he do?
This person was greedy and afraid of death. He quickly pointed his fingers, releasing a series of阴wind to sweep away all the treasures and crystals in the cave府, intending to escape with them.
But just as he finished, a flash of green light appeared. Lin Xuan had split the giant stone door with his sword and stood before him.
"You..."
The Ning family’s young master's face turned pale, and he kneeled down, shivering uncontrollably.
With his power now revealed, the overwhelming spiritual essence pressed him into submission.
"Senior, please spare my life. I beg for your mercy."
Knowing that this person could slay a corpse demon, there was no way to resist. He knew it was wise to adapt and survive in the cultivation world by being thick-skinned.
With his promising future, he didn't want to die here. Begging pitifully, he hoped to prolong his life.
