仿佛要印证他所说，前面那座山峰周围的浓雾开始剧烈翻涌，伴随着轰隆隆的声响，分出了一条宽约数丈的通道，如今未到卯时，然而这场激烈的斗法，显然已惊动了禁制里面的修士。
It seemed to validate his words. The dense fog surrounding the mountain peak in front began to churn violently, accompanied by rumbling sounds as a wide passage about several dozen feet wide emerged. It was still not yet dawn, but this intense battle had clearly stirred up the attention of cultivators within the restricted area.
lín xuān yǎn jīng yī mī ， dìng jīng xiàng qián fāng wàng le guò qù 。
林轩眼睛一眯，定睛像前方望了过去。
Lin Xuan's eyes narrowed as he stared ahead. Several streaks of light flashed into his vision, each with different colors, and they quickly crossed through the restrictions.
qī bā dào dùn guāng yìng rù le yǎn lián lǐ ， yán sè gè yì ， piàn kè yǐ chuān yuè le jìn zhì 。
七八道遁光映入了眼帘里，颜色各异，片刻已穿越了禁制。
The lights dimmed, revealing five men and two women.
guāng huá shōu liǎn ， xiàn chū le wǔ nán liǎng nǚ 。
光华收敛，现出了五男两女。
Apart from four condensation core stage cultivators standing at the front, three others were all infant spirit stage cultivators, their appearances drawing much attention.
chú le sì míng níng dān qī ， zhàn zài qián miàn de sān gè ， jū rán quán dōu shì yuán yīng qī xiū xiān zhě ， dǎ bàn yě shí fēn yǐn rén zhù mù 。
除了四名凝丹期，站在前面的三个，居然全都是元婴期修仙者，打扮也十分引人注目。
A beautiful woman in black clothes, a one-eyed old man, and in between them was an eight-year-old child.
yī míng hēi yī měi fù ， yī míng dú yǎn lǎo zhě ， ér zhōng jiān de ， jū rán shì yī qī bā suì de yòu tóng 。
一名黑衣美妇，一名独眼老者，而中间的，居然是一七八岁的幼童。
The woman in black clothes was around twenty-five or six, her appearance only averagely attractive but clearly skilled in charm cultivation; every move of hers exuded alluring grace. Her attire was also extremely daring, exposing large segments of smooth thighs and arms, drawing the attention of many low-grade cultivators who gaped in amazement. However, among the condensation core stage cultivators who knew her true nature, none failed to show fear, lowering their heads deeply.
nà hēi yī měi fù dà yuē èr shí wǔ liù ， zī sè zhǐ néng miǎn qiǎng suàn zuò pǔ tōng ， rán ér míng xiǎn xiū yǒu mèi gōng ， yī jǔ yī dòng jiē yǒu fēng qíng wàn zhǒng ， chuān zhe yě dà dǎn yǐ jí ， lù chū dà duàn guāng huá de dà tuǐ yǔ shǒu bì ， yǐn dé bù shǎo dī jiē xiū shì dāi kàn bù yǐ ， rán ér zhī dào cǐ nǚ dǐ xì de níng dān qī xiū xiān zhě ， wú bù miàn lù wèi jù zhī sè ， shēn shēn jiāng tóu gěi dī xià le 。
那黑衣美妇大约二十五六，姿色只能勉强算作普通，然而明显修有媚功，一举一动皆有风情万种，穿着也大胆以极，露出大段光滑的大腿与手臂，引得不少低阶修士呆看不已，然而知道此女底细的凝丹期修仙者，无不面露畏惧之色，深深将头给低下了。
Black Mamba Lady was greedy for beauty and enjoyed taking advantage of men, excelling at collecting essence. Many young men had met tragic ends after being lured by her. Although not as notorious as Kun Nan the Elder, she was still a feared giant among cultivators.
hēi mǎng fū rén tān huā hào sè ， shēng píng shàn cháng cǎi bǔ ， bù shǎo nián qīng nán zi bèi tā shè qù quán dōu luò de hún guī dì fǔ de jié jú ， è míng suī bù jí kūn nán lǎo zǔ ， dàn yě shì rén rén wèi jù de jù xiāo mó tóu 。
黑蟒夫人贪花好色，生平擅长采补，不少年轻男子被她摄去全都落得魂归地府的结局，恶名虽不及昆楠老祖，但也是人人畏惧的巨枭魔头。
As for the child in the middle, his reputation was even greater; he ranked first among the three and had already reached the mid-stage of infant spirit stage. His Dao name was White Deer, and he was an elder of the Announcing Spirit Sect.
zhì yú zhōng jiān de tóng zi ， zé míng shēng gèng dà ， xiū wèi yě jū sān rén zhī shǒu ， yǐ bù rù zhōng qī le ， dào hào bái lù ， shì xuān líng zōng zhǎng lǎo 。
至于中间的童子，则名声更大，修为也居三人之首，已步入中期了，道号白鹿，是宣灵宗长老。
The one-eyed old man's fame was not prominent, likely a wandering cultivator, but once reaching the infant spirit stage, his strength could not be underestimated.
xiāng duì ér yán ， dú yǎn lǎo zhě míng shēng bù xiǎn ， yīng gāi shì sàn xiū zhōng de rén wù ， dàn jì bù rù yuán yīng qī ， shí lì yòu qǐ róng xiǎo shì 。
相对而言，独眼老者名声不显，应该是散修中的人物，但既步入元婴期，实力又岂容小视。
Their current roles were enforcers at the Mount Mang Conference. Such a rare grand event in the cultivation world required cooperation from major forces to maintain order.
sān rén rú jīn de shēn fèn ， shì máng shān dà huì de zhí fǎ shǐ ， bì jìng xiū xiān jiè nán dé yī jiàn de shèng jǔ ， kěn dìng xū yào gè dà shì lì lián shǒu wéi chí 。
三人如今的身份，是邙山大会的执法使，毕竟修仙界难得一见的盛举，肯定需要各大势力联手维持。
Scanning around, White Deer Child's expression froze: "Two fellow daoists, please stop. This is the sacred land of Mount Mang; how can you violate the rules of the conference?"
mù guāng zài zhōu wéi sǎo guò ， bái lù tóng zi biǎo qíng yī zhì ：“ liǎng wèi dào yǒu zhù shǒu ， zhè lǐ shì máng shān shèng dì ， qǐ kě huài le dà huì de guī jǔ ？”
目光在周围扫过，白鹿童子表情一滞：“两位道友住手，这里是邙山圣地，岂可坏了大会的规矩？”
Someone had dared to cause trouble here. If it were ordinary cultivators, they would have dealt with them harshly. But as fellow infant spirit stage cultivators, none wished to risk a fight, so White Deer loudly exhorted.
jū rán yǒu rén dǎn gǎn zài zhè lǐ nào shì ， rú guǒ shì pǔ tōng xiū shì ， sān rén kěn dìng yǐ léi tíng shǒu duàn miè zhī ， bù guò jì rán tóng wèi yuán yīng qī xiū xiān zhě ， sān rén zì rán bù yuàn qīng yì mào xiǎn dòng shǒu le ， yú shì bái lù yáng shēng tǔ qì ， cái shuō chū zhè quàn hé zhī yǔ 。
居然有人胆敢在这里闹事，如果是普通修士，三人肯定以雷霆手段灭之，不过既然同为元婴期修仙者，三人自然不愿轻易冒险动手了，于是白鹿扬声吐气，才说出这劝和之语。
Yellow Wood True Man was relieved. In his current state, he could no longer care about face and showed fear in his expression, shouting loudly: "Is it you, Daoist Friend White Deer? Please hurry and intervene. This madwoman disregards the rules of Mount Mang's sacred land; she doesn't even consider us."
huáng mù zhēn rén qiú zhī bù dé ， cǐ shí láng bèi wàn fēn de tā yǐ gù bù shàng miàn zi le ， liǎn shàng lù chū wèi jù zhī sè ， dà shēng jīng hū ：“ shì bái lù dào yǒu me ， hái qǐng kuài kuài chū shǒu ， zhè fēng nǚ rén shì máng shān shèng dì de guī jǔ rú wú wù 。 gēn běn jiù bù jiāng wǒ děng fàng zài yǎn lǐ 。”
黄木真人求之不得，此时狼狈万分的他已顾不上面子了，脸上露出畏惧之色，大声惊呼：“是白鹿道友么，还请快快出手，这疯女人视邙山圣地的规矩如无物。根本就不将我等放在眼里。”
"Hmph!" White Deer Child's expression darkened as a hint of dissatisfaction flashed in his eyes. If he didn't understand that Yellow Wood True Man was trying to drag him into this, it would be hard to believe.
“ hēng ！” bái lù tóng zi liǎn sè yī chén ，， yǎn zhōng yǐn yǐn shǎn guò bù mǎn zhī sè ， yǐ tā de xīn jī chéng fǔ ， rú guǒ bù míng bái huáng mù zhēn rén shì xiǎng yào tuō zì jǐ xià shuǐ ne ？
“哼！”白鹿童子脸色一沉，，眼中隐隐闪过不满之色，以他的心机城府，如果不明白黄木真人是想要拖自己下水呢？
This old man who feared the weak and bullied the strong could wait until later for retribution. Although unwilling to be used by the other party, as an enforcer, he couldn't just watch helplessly as this cunning fellow was killed here. Otherwise, his reputation would suffer severely, and the conference's prestige would face a serious crisis.
zhè qī ruǎn pà yìng de lǎo tóu ， gǎi rì zài zhǎo tā suàn zhàng hǎo le ， suī rán bù yuàn yì bèi duì fāng lì yòng ， dàn zuò wéi zhí fǎ shǐ ， què yě bù néng yǎn zhēng zhēng kàn zhe zhè pí lài jiā huo zài cǐ dì bèi shā ， fǒu zé bù zhǐ zì jǐ míng yù sǎo dì ， dà huì de wēi xìn yě jiāng miàn lín shí fēn yán zhòng de wēi jī 。
这欺软怕硬的老头，改日再找他算账好了，虽然不愿意被对方利用，但作为执法使，却也不能眼睁睁看着这皮赖家伙在此地被杀，否则不止自己名誉扫地，大会的威信也将面临十分严重的危机。
"Fair lady, please stop. Listen to old man’s words; otherwise, don’t blame us for being impolite."
“ zhè wèi xiān zi ， hái qǐng zhù shǒu ， tīng lǎo fū yī yǔ ， fǒu zé bié guài wǒ děng bú kè qì 。”
“这位仙子，还请住手，听老夫一语，否则别怪我等不客气。”
"Hmph!"
“ hēng ！”
“哼！”
Red Silk Fairy's eyes flashed with murderous intent as her expression turned grim. As an elder of the Jade Profound Sect, she was proud and met strong resistance head-on. Otherwise, she wouldn't have dared to ambush a condensation core stage senior apprentice in the past.
hóng líng xiān zi yǎn zhōng shā qì yī shǎn ， biǎo qíng yīn chén le xià lái ， zuò wéi yù xuán zōng zhǎng lǎo ， tā de xìng zi shí fēn jiāo ào ， yù qiáng zé qiáng ， shèn zhì yǒu de tiān bù pà dì bù pà de wèi dào 。 fǒu zé ， dāng nián yě bù zhì yú gǎn tōu xí lí hé qī de shī bó 。
红绫仙子眼中煞气一闪，表情阴沉了下来，作为玉玄宗长老，她的性子十分骄傲，遇强则强，甚至有的天不怕地不怕的味道。否则，当年也不至于敢偷袭离合期的师伯。
Threatening me?
běn xiān zi hái cóng lái méi yǒu pà guò ！
本仙子还从来没有怕过！
With a flick of her jade hand, several red lights shot out. Instead of stopping, this woman intensified her attack even more.
yù shǒu yī fú ， shù dào hóng guāng jī shè ér chū ， cǐ nǚ bù jǐn méi yǒu zhù shǒu ， fǎn ér jiāng gōng shì jiā qiáng ！
玉手一拂，数道红光激射而出，此女不仅没有住手，反而将攻势加强！
White Deer Child's expression turned ugly. In front of hundreds of fellow daoists, his reaction was akin to slapping himself.
bái lù tóng zi de biǎo qíng biàn dé yǒu xiē nán kàn le ， dāng zhāo shù bǎi wèi tóng dào ， cǐ nǚ de fǎn yìng wú yì yú shàn zì jǐ ěr guāng 。
白鹿童子的表情变得有些难看了，当着数百位同道，此女的反应无异于扇自己耳光。
This could not be tolerated! Although an infant spirit stage cultivator herself, she acted too arrogantly!
shì kě rěn ， shú bù kě rěn ， cǐ nǚ suī shì yuán yīng zhōng qī de xiū xiān zhě ， dàn xíng shì yě wèi miǎn tài mù zhōng wú rén ！
是可忍，孰不可忍，此女虽是元婴中期的修仙者，但行事也未免太目中无人！
"Two fellow daoists, please listen... " He immediately whispered to the other two old men beside him.
“ liǎng wèi dào yǒu ， nǐ men kàn ……” tā dāng jí xiàng shēn biān de lìng liǎng wèi lǎo guài chuán yīn qǐ lái 。
“两位道友，你们看……”他当即向身边的另两位老怪传音起来。
Although Red Silk Fairy's temperament was stubborn, she wasn't a fool. With her powerful divine sense, she had heard many of the cultivators' discussions just now. Although only snippets, connecting them revealed that this place seemed to prohibit cultivation battles.
ér hóng líng suī rán xìng zi zhí niù le diǎn ， dàn yě bú shì shǎ guā ， yǐ tā shén shí zhī qiáng dà ， yě jiāng gāng cái bù shǎo xiū shì de yì lùn tīng zài ěr lǐ 。 suī rán jǐn yǒu zhī yán piàn yǔ ， dàn shàng xià yī lián xì ， yě míng bái zhè lǐ sì hū jìn zhǐ xiū shì dòu fǎ 。
而红绫虽然性子执拗了点，但也不是傻瓜，以她神识之强大，也将刚才不少修士的议论听在耳里。虽然仅有只言片语，但上下一联系，也明白这里似乎禁止修士斗法。
She didn't want trouble but Yellow Wood True Man must die.
tā bù xiǎng rě shì ， dàn zhè huáng mù zhēn rén bì xū yào sǐ 。
她不想惹事，但这黄木真人必须要死。
Their grievances were simple. After parting ways with Lin Xuan, Red Silk Fairy began exploring ancient secrets in search of a way out. However, she had hit dead ends.
shuō qǐ liǎng rén de ēn yuàn ， qí shí yě shí fēn jiǎn dān ， yǔ lín xuān fēn kāi yǐ hòu ， hóng líng yě kāi shǐ sì chù tàn mì ， xún zhǎo fāng fǎ kàn rú hé néng gòu lí kāi cǐ dì 。 rán ér què máng wú tóu xù 。
说起两人的恩怨，其实也十分简单，与林轩分开以后，红绫也开始四处探秘，寻找方法看如何能够离开此地。然而却茫无头绪。
One day, while meditating in an ancient cave, her cultivation method required her infant spirit to leave the body and travel nearby.
zhè rì ， hóng líng zài yī chù gǔ dòng dǎ zuò ， tā suǒ xiū liàn de gōng fǎ bǐ jiào tè shū ， yǒu shí xū yào ràng yuán yīng lí tǐ ， bìng zài fù jìn yóu lì 。
这日，红绫在一处古洞打坐，她所修炼的功法比较特殊，有时需要让元婴离体，并在附近游历。
After leaving her body, Red Silk Fairy's infant spirit accidentally discovered an ancient beast.
rán ér zhè yī huí ， hóng líng yuán yīng lí tǐ yǐ hòu ， què zài bù yuǎn chù ǒu rán fā xiàn le yī shàng gǔ yāo shòu 。
然而这一回，红绫元婴离体以后，却在不远处偶然发现了一上古妖兽。
Such beasts were long extinct on this world; they were rare treasures. Though not of high grade, their妖丹 could be refined into a very precious pill that greatly assisted infant spirit stage cultivators in breaking through barriers. Naturally, Red Silk Fairy didn't want to let it go.
zhè zhǒng yāo shòu rén jiè zǎo jiù miè jué le ， nǎi shì shí fēn zhēn xī zhī wù ， pǐn jí bù gāo ， yāo dān què kě yǐ liàn zhì yī zhǒng fēi cháng zhēn xī de dān yào ， duì yú yuán yīng qī xiū shì tū pò píng jǐng yǒu zhe jí hǎo de xiào guǒ 。 hóng líng zì rán bù yuàn yì fàng guò 。
这种妖兽人界早就灭绝了，乃是十分珍稀之物，品级不高，妖丹却可以炼制一种非常珍稀的丹药，对于元婴期修士突破瓶颈有着极好的效果。红绫自然不愿意放过。
It was too late for her to end her cultivation now. With her high skills and boldness, she decided to chase the beast with her infant spirit.
jié shù xiū xíng yǐ lái bù jí ， hóng líng yì gāo rén dǎn dà ， gān cuì píng jiè yuán yīng jiù zhuī guò qù le 。
结束修行已来不及，红绫艺高人胆大，干脆凭借元婴就追过去了。
Although just a three-stage妖兽, it excelled at earth and wood遁术. After much effort, Red Silk Fairy finally killed it after chasing it for over a hundred miles.
rán ér nà suī rán jǐn jǐn shì yī sān jiē yāo shòu ， què tiān shēng shàn cháng tǔ mù liǎng zhǒng dùn shù ， hóng líng fèi jìn qiān xīn wàn kǔ ， zhuī chū bǎi lǐ zhī yáo cái jiāng tā miè shā 。
然而那虽然仅仅是一三阶妖兽，却天生擅长土木两种遁术，红绫费劲千辛万苦，追出百里之遥才将它灭杀。
As this beautiful fairy was happily retrieving its妖丹, Yellow Wood True Man appeared.
zhèng dāng zhè wèi měi lì de xiān zi xǐ zī zī qǔ chū yāo dān de shí hòu ， què pèng jiàn huáng mù zhēn rén le 。
正当这位美丽的仙子喜滋滋取出妖丹的时候，却碰见黄木真人了。
This wandering cultivator wasn't a giant evil force but not an upright person either; he secretly practiced several kinds of dark arts.
què shuō zhè wèi sàn xiū ， suī rán bú shì shén me jù xiāo mó tóu ， què yě jué fēi zhèng rén jūn zǐ zhī liú ， shèn zhì àn zhōng xiū yǒu hǎo jǐ zhǒng xié shù 。
却说这位散修，虽然不是什么巨枭魔头，却也绝非正人君子之流，甚至暗中修有好几种邪术。
Seeing the woman's eyes widen... no, he hadn't had any perverted thoughts. One of his dark arts could transform her infant spirit into a substitute puppet, which would be extremely powerful. He was drooling at the thought. However, Yellow Wood True Man himself was only an early-stage cultivator and lacked the strength to kill other old monsters.
kàn jiàn hóng líng xiān zi yǎn dōu zhí le …… bié wù huì ， tā kě bú shì dòng le shén me yín xié de niàn tou ， ér shì cǐ rén suǒ huì de xié shù zhī zhōng ， zhèng hǎo yǒu yī zhǒng shì jiāng yuán yīng jì liàn chéng tì shēn kuǐ lěi ， wēi lì jí dà ， ràng tā zhí liú kǒu shuǐ ， rán ér huáng mù zhēn rén zì jǐ ， yě bù guò shì yuán chū xiū shì ， jiù suàn yǒu xīn ， yě méi yǒu lì liàng qù miè shā bié de lǎo guài wù 。
看见红绫仙子眼都直了……别误会，他可不是动了什么淫邪的念头，而是此人所会的邪术之中，正好有一种是将元婴祭炼成替身傀儡，威力极大，让他直流口水，然而黄木真人自己，也不过是元初修士，就算有心，也没有力量去灭杀别的老怪物。
Moreover, if this secret technique were exposed, he would become the enemy of all infant spirit stage cultivators.
hé kuàng zhè zhǒng mì fǎ yí dàn bào guāng ， bú yòng shuō ， tā kěn dìng huì chéng wéi suǒ yǒu yuán yīng xiū shì de gōng dí 。
何况这种秘法一旦曝光，不用说，他肯定会成为所有元婴修士的公敌。
He sighed in private over this matter. Seeing Red Silk Fairy now, his excitement was obvious as he revealed a sinister expression, wanting to seize her infant spirit.
wèi le cǐ shì ， tā àn zhōng xī xū bù yǐ 。 cǐ shí jiàn le hóng líng xiān zi ， xīng fèn kě xiǎng ér zhī ， lì kè lù chū zhēng níng de biǎo qíng ， xiǎng yào zhuō zhù zhè wèi měi lì nǚ xiū de yuán yīng 。
为了此事，他暗中唏嘘不已。此时见了红绫仙子，兴奋可想而知，立刻露出狰狞的表情，想要捉住这位美丽女修的元婴。
Considering their cultivation levels, Red Silk Fairy far surpassed an early-stage cultivator while Yellow Wood True Man could not. However, she had only separated from her body and due to her cultivation habits, her infant spirit usually stayed within a hundred feet of her body, so she didn't worry about danger or carrying her main treasure artifact. But now...
yǐ liǎng rén de xiū wèi lái shuō ， hóng líng yuǎn fēi yuán chū de hǎo ， huáng mù zhēn rén kě bǐ ， rán ér cǐ kè ， tā bù guò shì yuán yīng lí tǐ ， gèng jiā zāo gāo de shì ， yóu yú xiū liàn de yuán gù ， píng shí yuán yīng dōu shì zài qū tǐ bǎi zhàng fàn wéi zhī nèi de ， suǒ yǐ zì rán bù yòng dān xīn yù jiàn wēi xiǎn ， běn mìng fǎ bǎo yě jiù méi yǒu xié dài ， rán ér xiàn zài ……
以两人的修为来说，红绫远非元初的好，黄木真人可比，然而此刻，她不过是元婴离体，更加糟糕的是，由于修炼的缘故，平时元婴都是在躯体百丈范围之内的，所以自然不用担心遇见危险，本命法宝也就没有携带，然而现在……
The danger was evident. Since entering the daoist path, Red Silk Fairy had never encountered such humiliation. To escape Yellow Wood True Man's grasp, she used all her skills but nearly failed. If not for good fortune and encountering several three-stage top-grade beasts, she would have met a tragic end.
wēi xiǎn kě xiǎng ér zhī ， hóng líng zì tà rù xiān dào yǐ lái ， hái cóng wèi yù jiàn zhè me biē qū de shì ， wèi le cóng huáng mù zhēn rén shǒu lǐ táo tuō ， tā jī hū shǐ jǐn le hún shēn xiè shù ， rán ér jí biàn rú cǐ ， yě chà diǎn bèi zhuō ， rú guǒ bú shì yùn qì hǎo ， zhèng hǎo yù jiàn le jǐ tóu sān jí de dǐng jiē yāo shòu ， zì jǐ kǒng pà yǐ hún guī dì fǔ 。
危险可想而知，红绫自踏入仙道以来，还从未遇见这么憋屈的事，为了从黄木真人手里逃脱，她几乎使尽了浑身解数，然而即便如此，也差点被捉，如果不是运气好，正好遇见了几头三级的顶阶妖兽，自己恐怕已魂归地府。
Thankfully, heaven didn't abandon me!
hái hǎo tiān bù jué wǒ ！
还好天不绝我！
Finally, she escaped danger as her infant spirit returned to her body. Thinking of what had happened, the beautiful female cultivator almost bit through her teeth in anger.
zhōng yú huà xiǎn wéi yí ， hóng líng de yuán yīng huí dào le shēn tǐ ， xiǎng xiǎng gāng cái de shì ， zhè wèi měi lì de nǚ xiū shì jī hū yǎo suì le bèi chǐ 。
终于化险为夷，红绫的元婴回到了身体，想想刚才的事，这位美丽的女修士几乎咬碎了贝齿。
This grudge must be avenged; Yellow Wood True Man was still sulking over the escape of that woman's infant spirit but didn't know Red Silk Fairy had used an ancient secret technique to leave a tracking mark on him...
It seemed to validate his words. The dense fog surrounding the mountain peak in front began to churn violently, accompanied by rumbling sounds as a wide passage about several dozen feet wide emerged. It was still not yet dawn, but this intense battle had clearly stirred up the attention of cultivators within the restricted area.
Lin Xuan's eyes narrowed as he stared ahead. Several streaks of light flashed into his vision, each with different colors, and they quickly crossed through the restrictions.
The lights dimmed, revealing five men and two women.
Apart from four condensation core stage cultivators standing at the front, three others were all infant spirit stage cultivators, their appearances drawing much attention.
A beautiful woman in black clothes, a one-eyed old man, and in between them was an eight-year-old child.
The woman in black clothes was around twenty-five or six, her appearance only averagely attractive but clearly skilled in charm cultivation; every move of hers exuded alluring grace. Her attire was also extremely daring, exposing large segments of smooth thighs and arms, drawing the attention of many low-grade cultivators who gaped in amazement. However, among the condensation core stage cultivators who knew her true nature, none failed to show fear, lowering their heads deeply.
Black Mamba Lady was greedy for beauty and enjoyed taking advantage of men, excelling at collecting essence. Many young men had met tragic ends after being lured by her. Although not as notorious as Kun Nan the Elder, she was still a feared giant among cultivators.

Threatening me?
Never!
With a flick of her jade hand, several red lights shot out. Instead of stopping, this woman intensified her attack even more.
White Deer Child's expression turned ugly. In front of hundreds of fellow daoists, his reaction was akin to slapping himself.
This could not be tolerated! Although an infant spirit stage cultivator herself, she acted too arrogantly!

Such beasts were long extinct on this world; they were rare treasures. Though not of high grade, their妖丹 could be refined into a very precious pill that greatly assisted infant spirit stage cultivators in breaking through barriers. Naturally, Red Silk Fairy didn't want to let it go.
It was too late for her to end her cultivation now. With her high skills and boldness, she decided to chase the beast with her infant spirit.
Although just a three-stage妖兽, it excelled at earth and wood遁术. After much effort, Red Silk Fairy finally killed it after chasing it for over a hundred miles.
As this beautiful fairy was happily retrieving its妖丹, Yellow Wood True Man appeared.
This wandering cultivator wasn't a giant evil force but not an upright person either; he secretly practiced several kinds of dark arts.
Seeing the woman's eyes widen... no, he hadn't had any perverted thoughts. One of his dark arts could transform her infant spirit into a substitute puppet, which would be extremely powerful. He was drooling at the thought. However, Yellow Wood True Man himself was only an early-stage cultivator and lacked the strength to kill other old monsters.
Moreover, if this secret technique were exposed, he would become the enemy of all infant spirit stage cultivators.
He sighed in private over this matter. Seeing Red Silk Fairy now, his excitement was obvious as he revealed a sinister expression, wanting to seize her infant spirit.
Considering their cultivation levels, Red Silk Fairy far surpassed an early-stage cultivator while Yellow Wood True Man could not. However, she had only separated from her body and due to her cultivation habits, her infant spirit usually stayed within a hundred feet of her body, so she didn't worry about danger or carrying her main treasure artifact. But now...
The danger was evident. Since entering the daoist path, Red Silk Fairy had never encountered such humiliation. To escape Yellow Wood True Man's grasp, she used all her skills but nearly failed. If not for good fortune and encountering several three-stage top-grade beasts, she would have met a tragic end.
Thankfully, heaven didn't abandon me!
Finally, she escaped danger as her infant spirit returned to her body. Thinking of what had happened, the beautiful female cultivator almost bit through her teeth in anger.
This grudge must be avenged; Yellow Wood True Man was still sulking over the escape of that woman's infant spirit but didn't know Red Silk Fairy had used an ancient secret technique to leave a tracking mark on him...
