雪狐公主再也无心与凤凰纠缠。竟然不惜大耗法力施展千里传音之术，嘴唇微动，回头说了一句什么。
Princess Snowfox lost interest in纠缠 with the Phoenix. She even resorted to using a千里传音术, expending great amounts of法力. With a slight movement of her lips, she turned and said something.
rán hòu shēn xíng yī zhuǎn ， jiāng fèng huáng piē yú yī biān ， fēi dùn xiàng xuán fèng mén de fáng xiàn 。
然后身形一转，将凤凰撇于一边，飞遁像玄凤门的防线。
Then, she shifted her form, leaving the Phoenix behind as she flew towards the defenses of Xuanfeng Sect.
shì tū rán ， rén lèi yǔ yāo zú jiē mǎn miàn è rán 。
事突然，人类与妖族皆满面愕然。
The sudden turn left both humans and monsters in shock.
ér dé dào nǚ ér chuán yīn de xuě hú wáng què lù chū dà xǐ guò wàng zhī sè 。 huí guò tóu ， lěng lěng de chuán xià mìng lìng le 。
而得到女儿传音的雪狐王却露出大喜过望之色。回过头，冷冷的传下命令了。
Snowfox King, hearing his daughter's transmission, showed extreme joy. He turned around and coldly issued an order: "Shall we attack now?"
xiàn zài jiù jìn gōng ？
现在就进攻？
The transformed beasts were utterly shocked but dared not question it. They took to the air, brandishing their treasures, and charged towards the front lines.
huà xíng qī yāo shòu men jīng è wú bǐ ， dàn què méi yǒu shuí gǎn zhì yí ， téng kōng ér qǐ ， jiāng gè zì de bǎo wù jì chū ， xiàng qián fāng shā qù 。
化形期妖兽们惊愕无比，但却没有谁敢质疑，腾空而起，将各自的宝物祭出，像前方杀去。
"Father, did you receive any news about my younger sister?" asked Snowfox Prince.
“ fù wáng ， kě shì yǒu le xiǎo mèi de xiāo xī ？” kāi kǒu de nǎi shì xuě hú shǎo zhǔ 。
“父王，可是有了小妹的消息？”开口的乃是雪狐少主。
"Yes, your sister just transmitted that she detected her scent on a certain cultivator's body. Your little sister is most likely in the hands of that person."
“ bù cuò ， nǐ jiě jiě gāng gāng chuán yīn shuō ， tā cóng mǒu xiū shì de shēn shàng ， wén dào le xiāng ér de qì xī ， nǐ mèi mèi shí zhī **， zài duì fāng de shǒu lǐ ”
“不错，你姐姐刚刚传音说，她从某修士的身上，闻到了香儿的气息，你妹妹十之**，在对方的手里”
"Oh," nodded Snowfox Prince, then his face showed concern: "Shouldn't we assist her? Can she handle it alone?"
“ yuán lái rú cǐ ” xuě hú shǎo zhǔ diǎn le diǎn tóu ， suí hòu liǎn shàng yòu lù chū jǐ fēn dān yōu zhī sè ：“ jiě jiě yí gè rén zhuī qù ， néng xíng me ， yào bù yào wǒ men zuò bāng shǒu ？”
“原来如此”雪狐少主点了点头，随后脸上又露出几分担忧之色：“姐姐一个人追去，能行么，要不要我们做帮手？”
"Hmph, you underestimate Riverling. She has already refined our clan’s inheritance treasure and is no less than me in terms of strength. The opponent isn’t a high-ranking cultivator, so there's no way they can escape her grasp. We just need to keep an eye on the old monsters from Xuanfeng Sect and prevent them from interfering with your sister."
“ hēng ， nǐ tài xiǎo kàn hé ér le ， tā jǐ liàn huà le běn zú de chuán chéng zhī bǎo ， lùn shí lì ， bǐ qǐ wèi fù lái yě bù guò shāo xùn yī chóu ， duì fāng yòu bú shì dà xiū shì ， jué táo bù chū tā zhǎng xīn de ， wǒ men zhǐ yào dīng jǐn xuán fèng mén qí tā lǎo guài wù ， bú yào ràng tā men cóng páng duì nǐ jiě jiě gān rǎo ”
“哼，你太小看河儿了，她己炼化了本族的传承之宝，论实力，比起为父来也不过稍逊一筹，对方又不是大修士，绝逃不出她掌心的，我们只要盯紧玄凤门其他老怪物，不要让他们从旁对你姐姐干扰”
Snowfox King moved swiftly, arriving before the Phoenix’s barrier.
xuě hú wáng huà yīn wèi luò ， jǐ huà wèi yī dào bái máng ， fēi xiàng le yuǎn chù de fèng huáng 。
雪狐王话音未落，己化为一道白芒，飞向了远处的凤凰。
He extended his long, white fingers, which seemed harmless but were actually extremely dangerous. With a gentle flick, countless white claw shadows appeared, slicing through the barrier with "sibilant" sounds of breaking air.
jīng guò yǔ hé ér de yī fān bó dòu ， cǐ shén niǎo de hún lì jǐ xiāo hào le xǔ duō ， dàn yī jiù fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， chú le zì jǐ ， qí tā rén dào yě bù yì yìng fù 。
经过与何儿的一番搏斗，此神鸟的魂力己消耗了许多，但依旧非同小可，除了自己，其他人倒也不易应付。
The Phoenix was caught off guard and showed fear in its eyes. It wasn’t truly the Queen of All Birds; it was just an illusion created by Xuanfeng Fairy using secret techniques to refine a fragment of her soul into a spirit bird.
yě bú jiàn tā yǒu shén me tè bié de dòng zuò ， jǐn jǐn shì jiāng shǒu wò chéng quán tou ， qīng piāo piāo de cháo zhe qián fāng jī xià ， dùn shí yī zhī bái sè de dà shǒu píng kōng fú guān le 。
也不见他有什么特别的动作，仅仅是将手握成拳头，轻飘飘的朝着前方击下，顿时一只白色的大手凭空浮观了。
A sound like silk tearing filled the air as the barrier began to disintegrate, followed by the Phoenix’s mournful cry. One of its wings was torn apart.
yuē yǒu qī bā zhàng zhǎng ， bái dé yǒu rú wàn nián hán bīng yī yàng 。
约有七八丈长，白得有如万年寒冰一样。
The heavily injured White须老者 spat out blood. To unleash the Nine Heavens Divine Phoenix Formation, both had achieved mental and spiritual unity. Even though their bond wasn’t as strong as his century-old treasure, the destruction of the formation would still severely injure them. "Brother, are you alright?"
cǐ shǒu chū guān yǐ hòu ， tóng yàng wǔ zhǐ wò quán ， hěn hěn de xiàng zhe fèng huáng léi qù le 。
此手出观以后，同样五指握拳，狠狠的向着凤凰擂去了。
"Nothing to worry about; a few minor injuries won't kill me," said the White须老者 with a bitter smile, shaking his head: "Junior brothers and sisters, don’t concern yourselves. The transformed beasts have already moved out. You should also go support them. Otherwise, our junior disciples will be overwhelmed by those old monsters. If we lose this line of defense, the sect’s foundation is in danger."
gǎn shòu dào nà kě pà de wēi yā ， fèng huáng bù gǎn dài màn ， chì bǎng yī fáng ， shì fàng chū yī dào xiān hóng de huǒ zhù ， yuē yǒu zhàng xǔ cū ， niǔ qū huà wèi yī tiáo huǒ shé ， áng tǔ sǒng ， xiàng zhe quán tou yíng shàng qù 。
感受到那可怕的威压，凤凰不敢怠慢，翅膀一房，释放出一道鲜红的火柱，约有丈许粗，扭曲化为一条火蛇，昂吐怂，向着拳头迎上去。
"Understood," replied the other old monsters with solemn expressions as they prepared to join the battle.
hōng lōng ！
轰隆！
The dressed-up woman was about to transform into a streak of light when the White须老者 called out: "Younger Sister He, wait!"
yī shēng bào xiǎng ， nà huǒ shé kàn shì zhēng níng ， què bèi quán tou qīng ér yì jǔ de jiāng shé tóu dǎ biàn ， suí hòu yān xiāo yún sàn 。
一声爆响，那火蛇看似狰狞，却被拳头轻而易举的将蛇头打遍，随后烟消云散。
"What do you need?" asked the woman, slightly surprised as she retracted her lotus feet.
fèng huáng dà jīng “ yī shēng cháng míng ， hóng guāng yào yǎn ， yī céng xiān hóng sè de hù zhào zài xī de shēn zhōu fú guān 。 quán tou qù shì jī huǎn ， què hěn hěn de dǎ zài le shàng miàn 。
凤凰大惊“一声长鸣，红光耀眼，一层鲜红色的护罩在牺的身周浮观。拳头去势稽缓，却狠狠的打在了上面。
"Snowfox King has already acted. That monster is an advanced beast. My Spirit Phoenix can only hold him for about a quarter of an hour. Once the protective formation falls, none of us will be able to withstand his attack..."
rú tóng hú miàn shàng tóu xià le yī méi shí zǐ ， yī quān yòu yī quān de bō wén dàng yàng kāi lái ， hǎo zài hù zhào zǒng suàn jiāng quán tou dǎng zhù ， rán ér xuě hú wáng de zuǐ jiǎo biān què lù chū le yī sī jī fěng 。
如同湖面上投下了一枚石子，一圈又一圈的波纹荡漾开来，好在护罩总算将拳头挡住，然而雪狐王的嘴角边却露出了一丝讥讽。
"Why are you telling me this now?" frowned the dressed-up woman.
shēn xíng huàng dòng 。 tā guǐ yì de cóng yuán dì xiāo shī le 。
身形晃动。他诡异的从原地消失了。
"I want you to wake up Senior Brother as Master," said the White须老者.
cǐ nǎi suō dì shù ， yuán yīng qī xiū shì jiù néng xí dé ， rán ér xiǎng yào jīng tōng zhǎng wò ， bì xū jìn jiē dào hòu qī cái xíng de 。
此乃缩地术，元婴期修士就能习得，然而想要精通掌握，必须进阶到后期才行的。
The dressed-up woman hesitated but finally nodded: "Alright, I'll go and awaken Senior Brother."
cǐ mì fǎ de xuán miào chéng dù ， bǐ qǐ shùn yí yě bù guò shāo xùn yī chóu ér jǐ ， xuě hú wáng jǐ gè huàng dòng ， jiù lái dào fèng huáng hù zhào de shēn qián le 。
此秘法的玄妙程度，比起瞬移也不过稍逊一筹而己，雪狐王几个晃动，就来到凤凰护罩的身前了。
"Thank you." The White须老者 was delighted.
shēn chū shǒu ， tā de zhǐ tou xiū cháng ér bái zhé ， kàn shàng qù 。 bù jù yǒu rèn hé de gōng jī lì ， rán ér shí jì ， què wēi xiǎn wú bǐ 。
伸出手，他的指头修长而白哲，看上去。不具有任何的攻击力，然而实际，却危险无比。
"You should also take care of yourself," she said before transforming into a streak of light and flying away in the opposite direction towards the back mountain.
qīng qīng yī huī ， wú shù bái sè de zhǎo yǐng fú guān ， jiā zá zhe ” chī chī “ de pò kōng shēng xiǎng ， sī xiàng le qián miàn de hù zhào 。
轻轻一挥，无数白色的爪影浮观，夹杂着”嗤嗤“的破空声响，撕像了前面的护罩。
Only the White须老者 remained on Tiangjin Peak. He wiped his mouth, his expression turning very serious. No matter what, he had to hold on; the sect couldn’t be destroyed by this disaster.
fèng huáng cuò shǒu bù jí ， yǎn móu zhōng yě lù chū le wèi jù ， shuō dào dǐ ， tā bìng fēi zhēn zhèng de bǎi niǎo zhī wáng ， zhǐ bù guò shì zhǐ rì de xuán fèng xiān zi ” yòng mì shù jiāng yī lóu fēn hún ， liàn huà chū lái de líng qín ér jǐ 。
凤凰措手不及，眼眸中也露出了畏惧，说到底，牠并非真正的百鸟之王，只不过是旨日的玄凤仙子”用秘术将一楼分魂，炼化出来的灵禽而己。
The sky was blood-red as countless cultivators and monsters fought for their lives. Even from several hundred miles away, one could smell the blood in the air.

仿佛布锦被扯碎的声音“那护罩兵分瓦解，随后便传来了此鸟的悲鸣。牠的半片翅膀，也同时被撕裂。
On a small unnamed mountain southeast of here, two black-robed cultivators stood side by side on a large stone.

凤凰被重创，白须老者也喷出了一口鲜血，为了挥出九天灵凤阵的威力，两者己经做到了心神合一，虽然默契程度。及不上他苦修数百年的本命宝物，但此阵被毁，他同样会受创非轻的。”师兄，你还好么？“宫装女子的声音传入耳朵，其余的元婴期老怪物，也无不露出关切之色。”没事，不用担忧，这点小伤死不了人的。“白须老者苦笑着开口，摇了摇头：”诸位师弟师妹，你们不用关心老夫，对方的化形期妖兽己经出动了，你们也快去支援，否则二三代弟子倒当不住那些老怪物，防线一旦失手，本门的基业可就危险了“”是，谨尊法旨！“那二十余名老怪物，也都露出肃容之色，各展神通，准备加入战团了。
Behind them were thousands more cultivators, with at least two thousand having reached the Foundation Establishment stage and over four hundred at the Condensation Core stage.

宫装女子正欲化为惊虹，白须老者的声音传入耳朵：”何师妹，等一下“”师兄有何吩咐。“女子缩回了莲足，略有些诧异的开口，她与此老虽素来不和，但此时此刻，所有的恩怨也早就放下了，门派为重，身为元婴期老怪物，这点觉悟自然是不在话下的。”师妹，雪狐王己出手了，那家伙是后期大妖兽，为兄驱使的灵凤，也最多只能困住他一刻钟，一旦护派大阵被攻破，我们这些人可无一是他对手……“”师兄为何突然对小妹说这些“宫装女子黛眉微皱：”莫非你想让我去唤醒掌门师兄？“”不错，如今能够敌住雪狐王的本门也只有大长老。我知道他境界尚未稳固。但如今火烧眉毛也管不了这许多，而寒谭重地并非人人都可以进入，所以只有劳烦师妹妳跑这一趟了。白须老者苦笑着说。
Why so many cultivators gathered here was unknown.
gōng zhuāng nǚ zǐ tīng le ， liǎn shàng lù chū yī sī chí yí zhī sè ， zhōng yú diǎn le diǎn tóu ：“ hǎo ， nà xiǎo mèi jiù qù huàn xǐng zhǎng mén shī xiōng ”
宫装女子听了，脸上露出一丝迟疑之色，终于点了点头：“好，那小妹就去唤醒掌门师兄”
After a cup of tea's time, a streak of light flew back from the horizon, revealing a yellow-robed elder who knelt down: "I bow to the two senior masters."
“ yǒu láo ” bái xū lǎo zhě xīn xǐ de dào 。
“有劳”白须老者欣喜的道。
"Enough formalities," said the black-robed man on the right, who wore a high hat and had an unusual appearance. "Did you find any accurate information?"
“ nǐ yě zì jǐ bǎo zhòng 。” cǐ nǚ shuō wán yǐ hòu ， huà wèi yī dào jīng hóng ， cháo fǎn fāng xiàng de hòu shān fēi qù le 。
“你也自己保重。”此女说完以后，化为一道惊虹，朝反方向的后山飞去了。
"Yes, Master, I have clarified the situation. The Snowfox Clan indeed surrounded Xuanfeng Sect’s main hall, but it's far worse than Senior Ancient mentioned. The enemy has already started attacking; there are tens of thousands of low-grade beasts and dozens of transformed monsters. And the Snowfox King himself has taken action. The Heavenly Azure Divine Phoenix Formation has been breached," said the yellow-robed elder respectfully.

整个天劲峰，就只剩下了白须老者一人，他擦了擦嘴角，表情变得非常凝重，无论如何，自己也要撑住，本门绝不能毁于此次的浩劫之中。
"Oh, so this time, the beasts have really come out in full force, unlike before. We don’t necessarily need to get involved," said the man under the hat, supporting his head with his hand and speaking slowly.
tiān mù yī piàn xuè hóng ， shǔ yǐ wàn jì de xiū shì yǔ yāo zú zhèng shēng sǐ bó shā ， jí shǐ shì shù bǎi lǐ wài 。 fǎng fú yě néng wén dào kōng qì zhōng nà xuè xīng de wèi dào 。
天幕一片血红，数以万计的修士与妖族正生死搏杀，即使是数百里外。仿佛也能闻到空气中那血腥的味道。
"What? Senior Brother, you mean we should ignore them? They already sent Senior Daoist Ancient for help!" The other black-robed man looked about forty years old and had a square face. He shook his head in disagreement.
jù lí cǐ chù dōng nán yuē qiān lǐ yuǎn de mǒu zuò wú míng xiǎo shān jiǎo xià ， yǒu liǎng míng hēi páo xiū shì bìng jiān zhàn zài yī kuài dà shí tou shàng 。
距离此处东南约千里远的某座无名小山脚下，有两名黑袍修士并肩站在一块大石头上。
"Ah, what’s wrong with that?"
ér zài tā men shēn hòu ， hái yǒu yǐng yǐng chuò chuò yī dà piàn xiū xiān zhě ， cū lüè gū jì ， qǐ mǎ yǒu liǎng sān qiān zhī jù ， ér qiě xiū wèi zuì dī de yě shì zhù jī qī ， qí zhōng hái bāo kuò le sì wǔ bǎi de níng dān qī xiū shì liǎng míng hēi páo xiū shì qì yǔ bù fán ， suī rán jǐ jīng jiāng líng yā shōu le qǐ lái ， dàn cóng shēn shàng de qì xī bō dòng lái kàn ， jū rán shì liǎng míng yuán yīng qī lǎo guài 。
而在他们身后，还有影影绰绰一大片修仙者，粗略估计，起码有两三千之巨，而且修为最低的也是筑基期，其中还包括了四五百的凝丹期修士两名黑袍修士气宇不凡，虽然己经将灵压收了起来，但从身上的气息波动来看，居然是两名元婴期老怪。
"Why else would it matter? Our Five Phoenix Sabers have always supported Xuanfeng Sect. When we were attacked by beasts before, we almost couldn’t hold on. Thanks to the timely arrival of several friends from Xuanfeng Sect, you and I might not be alive today. Now that they’re in trouble, how can we just ignore them?"
jiù bù zhī dào rú cǐ duō de xiū xiān zhě jù yú cǐ chù ， jiū jìng shì wèi le shén me 。
就不知道如此多的修仙者聚于此处，究竟是为了什么。
"Junior Brother, you're foolish," sighed the man under the hat: "Yes, Xuanfeng Sect has done us a favor, but do you think about it? The last time they came to our aid, it was effortless and safe. But this time, we have to gather most of our elite disciples, which is serious business. We might be dragged into this and end up in ruins."
yòu guò le yī zhǎn chá de gōng fu ， cóng tiān biān fēi huí lái yī dào jīng hóng ， guāng máng shōu liǎn ， lù chū le yī míng huáng shān lǎo zhě 。
又过了一盏茶的功夫，从天边飞回来一道惊虹，光芒收敛，露出了一名黄衫老者。
"Senior Brother, that’s an exaggeration," the square-faced man was startled.
qū xī guì le xià lái ：“ cān jiàn liǎng wèi shī bó ”
屈膝跪了下来：“参见两位师伯”
"Hmph, I’m not exaggerating; it's for the sect’s future. Didn’t you hear what Younger Nephew Ge said? Even Snowfox King has taken action. This time, they’re definitely fighting to the death. I heard a rumor that this time, the beasts in the Ice Desert Wasteland came out en masse to find their lost princess. But why Xuanfeng Sect is involved remains unclear. However, it’s almost certain that things won’t end well."
“ bù yòng duō lǐ le ， gé shī rèn ， cǐ fān chū qù ， kě dǎ tīng dào le què qiè de xiāo xī ？” shuō huà de shì yòu de hēi páo xiū shì ， cǐ rén dài zhe yī dǐng gāo gāo de mào zi ， dǎ bàn jiào wéi qí tè 。
“不用多礼了，葛师任，此番出去，可打听到了确切的消息？”说话的是右的黑袍修士，此人带着一顶高高的帽子，打扮较为奇特。
"What do we do then? Just go back?" The square-faced man was also shaken.
“ shì de ， shī bó ， shī rèn jǐ jīng jiāng shì qíng nòng qīng chǔ ， xuě hú zú què shí jiāng xuán fèng mén de zǒng tán wéi zhù ， dàn qíng kuàng què bǐ gǔ qián bèi suǒ shuō de yào yán zhòng dé duō ， duì fāng jǐ jīng kāi shǐ gōng dǎ ， guāng shì dī jiē yāo shòu jiù yǒu shù wàn zhī duō ， huà xíng qī de lǎo guài wù yě yǒu shù shí ， ér qiě xuě hú wáng jǐ qīn zì chū shǒu ， xuán tiān líng fèng zhèn jǐ bèi gōng pò ” nà huáng shān xiū shì dī xià tou ， gōng jìng de kāi kǒu 。
“是的，师伯，师任己经将事情弄清楚，雪狐族确实将玄凤门的总坛围住，但情况却比古前辈所说的要严重得多，对方己经开始攻打，光是低阶妖兽就有数万之多，化形期的老怪物也有数十，而且雪狐王己亲自出手，玄天灵凤阵己被攻破”那黄衫修士低下头，恭敬的开口。
"We can't return now. Although the beasts are fierce, Xuanfeng Sect has formidable strength. If they survive this ordeal and we ignore their request for help, how will they treat us?"
“ ó ， zhè me shuō ？ cǐ cì yāo shòu qīng cháo ér chū ， dào zhēn yǔ yǐ qián de qíng xíng bù tóng ， wǒ men dào bù yí dìng fēi yào qù pǔ zhè hún shuǐ le ” nà dài mào zi de hēi páo rén yǐ shǒu zhī é ， huǎn huǎn de kāi kǒu le 。
“哦，这么说？此次妖兽倾巢而出，倒真与以前的情形不同，我们倒不一定非要去蹼这浑水了”那戴帽子的黑袍人以手支额，缓缓的开口了。
"Ah," the square-faced man scratched his head, caught between two choices: "Then what do you suggest, Senior Brother?"
“ shén me ， shī xiōng ， nǐ shuō shì zhì zhī bù lǐ ， kě duì fāng jǐ jīng pài gǔ dào yǒu dāng miàn xiàng nǐ wǒ qiú yuán le ， zhè yàng bù hǎo ba ！” lìng yī míng hēi páo xiū shì kàn shàng qù zhǐ yǒu sì shí lái suì nián jì ， fāng miàn dà ěr ， tīng le zhè fān yán yǔ ， què yáo tóu bìng bù zàn tóng shī xiōng de zhǔ yì 。
“什么，师兄，你说是置之不理，可对方己经派古道友当面像你我求援了，这样不好吧！”另一名黑袍修士看上去只有四十来岁年纪，方面大耳，听了这番言语，却摇头并不赞同师兄的主意。
"For now, let’s hold our ground but not return. Wait here for news. If things get really bad and Xuanfeng Sect faces extinction, we can’t just jump into the fire. But if they have any powerful reserves that could help them survive this disaster, we should go," said the man under the hat with a smile.
“ ó ， nǐ shuō yǒu hé bù hǎo de ？”
“哦，你说有何不好的？”
"Hmm, Senior Brother is indeed wise. Let’s decide like this."

“这还用问么，我们五凤刀一向与玄凤门守望相助，昔日本派被妖兽围攻，差点坚守不住，若非玄凤门的几位道友及时赶来，恐怕你我己不在世上了，如今对方有难，我们怎么能置之不管”
"Younger Nephew Ge, pick more people to gather information and ensure it's accurate and timely."
Princess Snowfox lost interest in纠缠 with the Phoenix. She even resorted to using a千里传音术, expending great amounts of法力. With a slight movement of her lips, she turned and said something.
Then, she shifted her form, leaving the Phoenix behind as she flew towards the defenses of Xuanfeng Sect.
The sudden turn left both humans and monsters in shock.
Snowfox King, hearing his daughter's transmission, showed extreme joy. He turned around and coldly issued an order: "Shall we attack now?"
The transformed beasts were utterly shocked but dared not question it. They took to the air, brandishing their treasures, and charged towards the front lines.
"Father, did you receive any news about my younger sister?" asked Snowfox Prince.
"Yes, your sister just transmitted that she detected her scent on a certain cultivator's body. Your little sister is most likely in the hands of that person."
"Oh," nodded Snowfox Prince, then his face showed concern: "Shouldn't we assist her? Can she handle it alone?"
"Hmph, you underestimate Riverling. She has already refined our clan’s inheritance treasure and is no less than me in terms of strength. The opponent isn’t a high-ranking cultivator, so there's no way they can escape her grasp. We just need to keep an eye on the old monsters from Xuanfeng Sect and prevent them from interfering with your sister."
Snowfox King moved swiftly, arriving before the Phoenix’s barrier.
He extended his long, white fingers, which seemed harmless but were actually extremely dangerous. With a gentle flick, countless white claw shadows appeared, slicing through the barrier with "sibilant" sounds of breaking air.
The Phoenix was caught off guard and showed fear in its eyes. It wasn’t truly the Queen of All Birds; it was just an illusion created by Xuanfeng Fairy using secret techniques to refine a fragment of her soul into a spirit bird.
A sound like silk tearing filled the air as the barrier began to disintegrate, followed by the Phoenix’s mournful cry. One of its wings was torn apart.
The heavily injured White须老者 spat out blood. To unleash the Nine Heavens Divine Phoenix Formation, both had achieved mental and spiritual unity. Even though their bond wasn’t as strong as his century-old treasure, the destruction of the formation would still severely injure them. "Brother, are you alright?"
"Nothing to worry about; a few minor injuries won't kill me," said the White须老者 with a bitter smile, shaking his head: "Junior brothers and sisters, don’t concern yourselves. The transformed beasts have already moved out. You should also go support them. Otherwise, our junior disciples will be overwhelmed by those old monsters. If we lose this line of defense, the sect’s foundation is in danger."
"Understood," replied the other old monsters with solemn expressions as they prepared to join the battle.
The dressed-up woman was about to transform into a streak of light when the White须老者 called out: "Younger Sister He, wait!"
"What do you need?" asked the woman, slightly surprised as she retracted her lotus feet.
"Snowfox King has already acted. That monster is an advanced beast. My Spirit Phoenix can only hold him for about a quarter of an hour. Once the protective formation falls, none of us will be able to withstand his attack..."
"Why are you telling me this now?" frowned the dressed-up woman.
"I want you to wake up Senior Brother as Master," said the White须老者.
The dressed-up woman hesitated but finally nodded: "Alright, I'll go and awaken Senior Brother."
"Thank you." The White须老者 was delighted.
"You should also take care of yourself," she said before transforming into a streak of light and flying away in the opposite direction towards the back mountain.
Only the White须老者 remained on Tiangjin Peak. He wiped his mouth, his expression turning very serious. No matter what, he had to hold on; the sect couldn’t be destroyed by this disaster.
The sky was blood-red as countless cultivators and monsters fought for their lives. Even from several hundred miles away, one could smell the blood in the air.
On a small unnamed mountain southeast of here, two black-robed cultivators stood side by side on a large stone.
Behind them were thousands more cultivators, with at least two thousand having reached the Foundation Establishment stage and over four hundred at the Condensation Core stage.
Why so many cultivators gathered here was unknown.
After a cup of tea's time, a streak of light flew back from the horizon, revealing a yellow-robed elder who knelt down: "I bow to the two senior masters."
"Enough formalities," said the black-robed man on the right, who wore a high hat and had an unusual appearance. "Did you find any accurate information?"
"Yes, Master, I have clarified the situation. The Snowfox Clan indeed surrounded Xuanfeng Sect’s main hall, but it's far worse than Senior Ancient mentioned. The enemy has already started attacking; there are tens of thousands of low-grade beasts and dozens of transformed monsters. And the Snowfox King himself has taken action. The Heavenly Azure Divine Phoenix Formation has been breached," said the yellow-robed elder respectfully.
"Oh, so this time, the beasts have really come out in full force, unlike before. We don’t necessarily need to get involved," said the man under the hat, supporting his head with his hand and speaking slowly.
"What? Senior Brother, you mean we should ignore them? They already sent Senior Daoist Ancient for help!" The other black-robed man looked about forty years old and had a square face. He shook his head in disagreement.
"Ah, what’s wrong with that?"
"Why else would it matter? Our Five Phoenix Sabers have always supported Xuanfeng Sect. When we were attacked by beasts before, we almost couldn’t hold on. Thanks to the timely arrival of several friends from Xuanfeng Sect, you and I might not be alive today. Now that they’re in trouble, how can we just ignore them?"
"Junior Brother, you're foolish," sighed the man under the hat: "Yes, Xuanfeng Sect has done us a favor, but do you think about it? The last time they came to our aid, it was effortless and safe. But this time, we have to gather most of our elite disciples, which is serious business. We might be dragged into this and end up in ruins."
"Senior Brother, that’s an exaggeration," the square-faced man was startled.
"Hmph, I’m not exaggerating; it's for the sect’s future. Didn’t you hear what Younger Nephew Ge said? Even Snowfox King has taken action. This time, they’re definitely fighting to the death. I heard a rumor that this time, the beasts in the Ice Desert Wasteland came out en masse to find their lost princess. But why Xuanfeng Sect is involved remains unclear. However, it’s almost certain that things won’t end well."
"What do we do then? Just go back?" The square-faced man was also shaken.
"We can't return now. Although the beasts are fierce, Xuanfeng Sect has formidable strength. If they survive this ordeal and we ignore their request for help, how will they treat us?"
"Ah," the square-faced man scratched his head, caught between two choices: "Then what do you suggest, Senior Brother?"
"For now, let’s hold our ground but not return. Wait here for news. If things get really bad and Xuanfeng Sect faces extinction, we can’t just jump into the fire. But if they have any powerful reserves that could help them survive this disaster, we should go," said the man under the hat with a smile.
"Hmm, Senior Brother is indeed wise. Let’s decide like this."
"Younger Nephew Ge, pick more people to gather information and ensure it's accurate and timely."
