jiū jìng shì shén me kě pà de yāo mó 。 ràng jǐ wèi lí hé qī lǎo guài rú cǐ zhèng zhòng 。 bù dé bù lián shǒu duì fù ？
究竟是什么可怕的妖魔。让几位离合期老怪如此郑重。不得不联手对付？
What terrifying monster could have made these ancient experts so serious, forcing them to team up and fight?
xiǎng dào zhè lǐ ， lín xuān de liǎn sè nán kàn dào le jí chù 。
想到这里，林轩的脸色难看到了极处。
This thought left Lin Xuan's face pale with dread. Yuanke's expression was similar; as the great princess of the Snow Fox Clan, she had a sharp mind and naturally understood what Lin Xuan feared.
yuàn kē de biǎo qíng yě chà bu duō ， cǐ nǚ zuò wèi xuě hú zú dà gōng zhǔ ， xīn sī tī tòu líng lóng ， zì rán yě xiǎng dào le lín xuān suǒ dān xīn de 。
媛珂的表情也差不多，此女做为雪狐族大公主，心思剔透玲珑，自然也想到了林轩所担心的。
The two exchanged glances, seeing fear in each other’s eyes!
liǎng rén duì guān yī yǎn ， jiē kàn dào le bǐ cǐ mù guāng zhōng de jù yì ！
两人对观一眼，皆看到了彼此目光中的惧意！
Lin Xuan even regretted coming here. If he had known that seeking out the Nine Heavens Phoenix Technique would lead to such a predicament, it might have been better not to get involved at all and find another way.
lín xuān shèn zhì yǒu xiē hòu huǐ le ， zǎo zhī dào xún zhǎo fèng wǔ jiǔ tiān jué huì xiàn rù rú cǐ jìng dì ， hái bù rú bié lái pǔ zhè hún shuǐ ， lìng xiǎng tā jì ！
林轩甚至有些后悔了，早知道寻找凤舞九天诀会陷入如此境地，还不如别来蹼这浑水，另想他计！
But once an arrow is shot, there's no turning back. Even if they weren't after the technique, just wanting to leave this place required them to push forward despite their fears.
rán ér kāi gōng méi yǒu huí tóu jiàn ， rú jīn jiù suàn bù wèi le gōng fǎ ， dān chún xiǎng yào cóng zhè lǐ chū qù ， yě bù dé bù yìng zhe tóu pí zǒu xià qù 。
然而开弓没有回头箭，如今就算不为了功法，单纯想要从这里出去，也不得不硬着头皮走下去。
Fortunately, it had been millions of years since then, so that terrifying monster should be gone. However, Lin Xuan still harbored a bad feeling and looked at Nuhe with a shared glance. A passage appeared before their eyes.
hǎo zài shì qíng guò qù le shàng bǎi wàn nián ， nà kě pà yāo mó yīng gāi bù zài ， rán ér lín xuān xīn zhōng zǒng shì yǒu bù hǎo de yù gǎn ， hé nuǎn hé duì guān yī yǎn ， liǎng rén jiāng mù guāng luò zài le dà diàn de hòu miàn 。
好在事情过去了上百万年，那可怕妖魔应该不在，然而林轩心中总是有不好的预感，和暖河对观一眼，两人将目光落在了大殿的后面。
It was very wide; more than a hundred people could walk side by side without issue. Lin Xuan released his spirit sense and found nothing amiss, so he slowly walked forward.
yī tiáo tōng dào yìng rù yǎn cuàn 。
一条通道映入眼窜。
Nuhe hesitated for a moment before following closely behind.
fēi cháng kuān kuò ， bǎi yú rén bìng xíng dōu shì méi yǒu wèn tí 。
非常宽阔，百余人并行都是没有问题。
"Master, I never thought that in ancient times, humans and demons on this island would have joined forces," Yue'er said slowly in his mind.
lín xuān jiāng shén shí fàng chū ， bìng méi yǒu guān bù tuǒ ， yú shì màn màn de xiàng qián zǒu qù le 。
林轩将神识放出，并没有观不妥，于是慢慢的向前走去了。
"Hmm, it is somewhat unexpected. But upon careful consideration, there's nothing strange about it; it makes sense."
nuǎn hé lüè yī chóu chú ， yě jǐn gēn zài shēn hòu 。
暖河略一踌躇，也紧跟在身后。
"Oh, Master, why do you say so?" Yue'er felt puzzled.
“ shào yé ， méi xiǎng dào shàng gǔ shí qī ， cǐ dǎo de rén lèi yǔ yāo zú ， yě céng jīng lián shǒu 。” yuè ér zài nǎo hǎi zhōng huǎn huǎn kāi kǒu 。
“少爷，没想到上古时期，此岛的人类与妖族，也曾经联手。”月儿在脑海中缓缓开口。
"Girl, can't you remember when we first arrived at the Azure Phoenix Sect? We heard a Condensation Stage cultivator introduce the secrets of ancient times," Lin Xuan had a blank expression on his face, but he was actually thinking deeply.
“ ń ， shì yǒu xiē yì wài ， bù guò zǐ xì sī liáng ， què bìng méi yǒu hào qí guài ， huò zhě shuō shì qíng lǐ zhī zhōng 。”
“嗯，是有些意外，不过仔细思量，却并没有好奇怪，或者说是情理之中。”
"What does Master mean..."
“ ó ， shào yé ， nǐ zěn me zhè me shuō ？” yuè ér gǎn dào yǒu xiē qí guài le 。
“哦，少爷，你怎么这么说？”月儿感到有些奇怪了。
"According to that person, there were always Separation Period demon beasts on Demon Spirit Island, but they hid themselves. On the human side, apart from the Five Great Demon Clans like Azure Phoenix Fairy, no one else reached this stage in ancient times. Logically speaking, if demons wanted to exterminate cultivators, it wouldn't be easy, but it wasn't impossible either. Yet, there were occasional conflicts between the two races, and those Separation Period monsters never took action. Don’t you find that strange?"
“ yā tou ， nǐ hái jì bú jì dé ， wǒ men gāng dào xuán fèng mén de shí hòu ， céng jīng tīng nà níng dān qī xiū shì jiè shào shàng gǔ shí qī de yǐn mì ” lín xuān yī liǎn mù rán zhī sè ， qí shí nǎo hǎi zhōng què zài bù tíng huí sī 。
“丫头，你还记不记得，我们刚到玄凤门的时候，曾经听那凝丹期修士介绍上古时期的隐秘”林轩一脸木然之色，其实脑海中却在不停回思。
"Yes, it is quite unusual. Although the Five Demon Cultivators once had an agreement with Separation Period demons, times change, so even if they didn't follow through, it wouldn't matter. However, these demons strictly adhere to their rules. In a world where the strong prey on the weak, I don’t believe they would be so narrow-minded as to let a million-year-old pact bind them. There must be another reason," Yue'er rolled her eyes and analyzed deeply.
“ shào yé shì zhǐ ……”
“少爷是指……”
"Good point!" Lin Xuan was genuinely impressed. "The old Yue'er used to just be a simple girl, but now she knows how to think." Unless there were other secrets between humans and demons, like a common enemy. This mysterious space seal in the Azure Phoenix Sect's forbidden grounds is already quite surprising...
“ jù nà rén suǒ shuō ， yāo líng dǎo shàng ， xiàng lái dōu yǒu lí hé qī yāo shòu ， zhǐ bù guò yì zhí yǐn jū zhe ， ér rén lèi zhè biān ， chú le dāng nián xuán fèng xiān zi děng wǔ dà yāo zú ， zài wèi chū guò lí hé qī guài wù ， àn lǐ shuō ， yāo zú ruò shì xiǎng jiāng xiū shì gǎn jìn shā jué ， suī bù néng shuō hěn róng yì ， dàn què bìng fēi bàn bú dào de shì ， kě liǎng zú ǒu yǒu zhēng dòu ， nà xiē lí hé qī de guài wù què cóng wèi chū shǒu ， nǐ bù jué dé cǐ shì yǒu xiē tài qí guài me ？”
“据那人所说，妖灵岛上，向来都有离合期妖兽，只不过一直隐居着，而人类这边，除了当年玄凤仙子等五大妖族，再未出过离合期怪物，按理说，妖族若是想将修士赶尽杀绝，虽不能说很容易，但却并非办不到的事，可两族偶有争斗，那些离合期的怪物却从未出手，你不觉得此事有些太奇怪么？”
Of course, these were merely Lin Xuan’s speculations; few people knew what had truly happened in ancient times.
“ shì hěn xī qí ， suī shuō wǔ dà yāo xiū céng yǔ lí quán qī yāo zú yǒu guò xié yì ， dàn shì yì shí yí ， duì fāng jiù suàn bù zūn shǒu yě méi yǒu guān xì ， kě xī men piān piān jǐn shǒu jiè lǜ ， xiū xiān jiè ruò ròu qiáng shí ， wǒ bù xiāng xìn tā men huì rú cǐ yū fǔ ， ràng yí gè bǎi wàn nián qián de xié yì jiāng zì jǐ de shǒu jiǎo shù fù ， chú fēi shì yǒu bié de shén me yuán yóu 。” yuè ér biǎn le biǎn yǎn ， mǎn liǎn shēn sī de fēn xī 。
“是很稀奇，虽说五大妖修曾与离全期妖族有过协议，但事易时移，对方就算不遵守也没有关系，可牺们偏偏谨守戒律，修仙界弱肉强食，我不相信他们会如此迂腐，让一个百万年前的协议将自己的手脚束缚，除非是有别的什么缘由。”月儿贬了贬眼，满脸深思的分析。
Outside, at the main hall of the Azure Phoenix Sect, the battle was reaching its climax. The cultivators' defenses had been breached, as the demon forces were far stronger. After such a long struggle, the Azure Phoenix Sect was completely on the defensive.
“ bù cuò ma ！” lín xuān dào zhēn yǒu xiē guā mù xiāng kàn le “ yǐ qián de yuè ér ， jiù shì yī shǎ shǎ de dān chún nǚ hái ér ， xiàn zài yě xué huì yòng nǎo ：” chú fēi rén lèi yǔ yāo zú zhī jiān ， hái yǒu bié de yǐn mì ， bǐ rú shuō gòng tóng de dí rén 。 zhè shén mì de kōng jiān fēng yìn zài xuán fèng mén jìn dì ， běn lái jiù shí fēn de ràng rén jīng qí ……“ dāng rán ， zhè xiē yě jǐn jǐn shì lín xuān de tuī cè ， shàng gǔ zhī shí ” jiū jìng shēng guò shén me ， rú jīn kǒng pà jǐ hěn shǎo yǒu rén zhī dào le 。
“不错嘛！”林轩倒真有些刮目相看了“以前的月儿，就是一傻傻的单纯女孩儿，现在也学会用脑：”除非人类与妖族之间，还有别的隐秘，比如说共同的敌人。这神秘的空间封印在玄凤门禁地，本来就十分的让人惊奇……“当然，这些也仅仅是林轩的推测，上古之时”究竟生过什么，如今恐怕己很少有人知道了。
Several Core Formation Elders had fallen.
ér zài wài miàn ， xuán fèng mén zǒng tán ， zhàn dòu jǐ jìn xíng dào bái lěi huà zi ， xiū shì men de fáng xiàn zǎo jǐ bèi gōng pò ， bì jìng hái shì yāo zú de shì lì yào qiáng hàn dé duō ， duì pīn zhè me jiǔ zhī hòu xuán fèng mén jǐ wán quán chù zài le xià fēng 。
而在外面，玄凤门总坛，战斗己进行到白垒化子，修士们的防线早己被攻破，毕竟还是妖族的势力要强悍得多，对拼这么久之后玄凤门己完全处在了下风。
Countless Disciples from the Condensation and Foundation Establishment stages had died.
shù wèi yuán yīng qī zhǎng lǎo yǔn luò 。
数位元婴期长老陨落。
The remaining few could only retreat deeper into the main hall, relying on their terrain for defense.
níng dān qī ， zhù jī qī dì zǐ gèng shì sǐ le bù jì qí shù 。
凝丹期，筑基期弟子更是死了不计其数。
While it wasn't quite a complete rout, describing the situation as dire would be accurate.
cán yú de ， zhǐ hǎo tuì rù zǒng tán shēn chù ， jiè zhù dì lì fáng shǒu 。
残余的，只好退入总坛深处，借助地利防守。
If this continued, the Azure Phoenix Sect would inevitably perish.
suī bù néng shuō bīng bài rú shān dǎo 。 dàn xíng róng chéng tàn tàn kě wēi yì diǎn yě méi yǒu cuò 。
虽不能说兵败如山倒。但形容成炭炭可危一点也没有错。
Yue Xianfeng was both shocked and angry. Even he, a great cultivator, faced a difficult situation. After all, his recent advancement to later stages had been too quick; his realm hadn't stabilized yet. With the help of the Devouring Demon Butterfly, he still fell far short compared to the Snow Fox King, who had long dominated Demon Spirit Island.
zhào zhè yàng xià qù ， xuán fèng mén zhǐ yǒu fù miè yī tú 。
照这样下去，玄凤门只有覆灭一途。
The gap was clear and obvious.
yuè xián fēng yòu jīng yòu nù ， kě biàn shì tā zhè wèi dà xiū shì ， xíng shì tóng yàng shì fēi cháng bù lì de ， bì jìng zì jǐ jìn jiē hòu qī wèi jiǔ ， shí jiān tài cāng chǔ ， jìng jiè dōu méi yǒu wěn gù ， suī yǒu shì yāo dié xiāng zhù ， dàn yǔ xuě hú wáng zhè wèi jǐ jīng wēi zhèn yāo líng dǎo shù qiān nián de dà yāo zú xiāng bǐ ， yī jiù yuǎn yuǎn bù jí 。
岳弦峰又惊又怒，可便是他这位大修士，形势同样是非常不利的，毕竟自己进阶后期未久，时间太仓储，境界都没有稳固，虽有噬妖蝶相助，但与雪狐王这位己经威震妖灵岛数千年的大妖族相比，依旧远远不及。
He could only struggle for now.
chā jù shèn zhì kě yǐ shuō shì fēi cháng míng xiǎn dì 。
差距甚至可以说是非常明显地。
"Ahh!"
tā guān zài zhǐ bù guò shì zài kǔ kǔ zhī chēng ér jǐ 。
他观在只不过是在苦苦支撑而己。
Another惨叫声 entered his ears as a bloodied man with a horse face was split in two.
“ a ！”
“啊！”
"Fu Fu's brother?"
yòu yī cǎn jiào shēng chuán rù ěr lǐ ， xuè guāng zhī zhōng ， yī mǎ liǎn lǎo zhě bèi pǐ chéng le liǎng bàn 。
又一惨叫声传入耳里，血光之中，一马脸老者被劈成了两半。
Yue Xianfeng’s spirit sense swept over the scene, making his expression even worse. The Core Formation soul had just escaped from the corpse when a demon with a green face and sharp teeth intercepted it and swallowed the soul whole.
“ fù fù dì ？”
“付阜弟？”
Yue Xianfeng's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets as mocking laughter echoed in his ears: "Friend Daoist Yue, don't worry about others. If you're sensible, hand over my daughter. Otherwise..."
yuè xián fēng shén shí yī sǎo ， biǎo qíng yuè nán kàn ， zhǐ jiàn yuán yīng cóng shī tǐ zhī zhōng jí jí máng máng de dùn le chū lái ， kě yī qīng miàn liáo yá de yāo zú què děng zài páng biān ， yī kǒu jiù jiāng yuán yīng tūn rù le dǔ zi lǐ miàn 。
岳弦峰神识一扫，表情越难看，只见元婴从尸体之中急急忙忙的遁了出来，可一青面缭牙的妖族却等在旁边，一口就将元婴吞入了肚子里面。
Although he said this, the Snow Fox King didn’t stop his actions. He was still using his Azure Heaven Transformation Technique. Nine Snow Fox Kings opened their mouths and simultaneously spat out a deep blue flame.
yuè xián fēng mù tiào yù liè ， jī cháo de shēng yīn què cóng páng biān yōu rán chuán rù ěr duǒ ：“ yuè dào yǒu ， wǒ kàn nǐ hái shì bú yào dān xīn bié rén le ， rú guǒ shí xiàng de huà ， jiù jiāng wǒ nǚ ér jiāo chū lái ， fǒu zé … liù zuǐ shàng suī rán zhè yàng shuō zhe ” dàn xuě hú wáng bìng méi yǒu tíng xià shǒu zhōng de dòng zuò ， tā cǐ kè yī jiù zài shǐ yòng xuán tiān huà shēn **， jiǔ gè xuě hú wáng zhāng kāi kǒu ， tóng shí pēn chū yī kǒu zhàn lán sè de huǒ yàn 。
岳弦峰目眺欲裂，讥嘲的声音却从旁边悠然传入耳朵：“岳道友，我看你还是不要担心别人了，如果识相的话，就将我女儿交出来，否则…六嘴上虽然这样说着”但雪狐王并没有停下手中的动作，他此刻依旧在使用玄天化身**，九个雪狐王张开口，同时喷出一口湛蓝色的火焰。
Azure Ice Demon Fire!
xuán bīng yāo huǒ ！
玄冰妖火！
With his transformation stage abilities, he had advanced to the fifth level of this secret technique. Yue Xianfeng had just suffered greatly; now, he dared not face it head-on. He moved swiftly, retreating.
yǐ tā huà xíng hòu qī de shén tōng ， yě jiāng cǐ mì shù xiū liàn dào le dì wǔ jí ， yuè xián huá gāng gāng jiù chī le bù xiǎo de kǔ tóu ， cǐ shí zì rán bù gǎn yìng jiē ， shēn xíng yī shǎn ， piāo shēn tuì hòu 。
以他化形后期的神通，也将此秘术修炼到了第五级，岳弦华刚刚就吃了不小的苦头，此时自然不敢硬接，身形一闪，飘身退后。
"Hmph,缩地术 (Zhuo Dì Shù), do you think that works in front of me?"
“ hēng ， suō dì shù ， nǐ yǐ wéi zài běn wáng miàn qián yǒu yòng me ？”
“哼，缩地术，你以为在本王面前有用么？”
The Snow Fox King sneered as two transformations blocked the path and ruthlessly smashed their法宝 (Baofang) down.
xuě hú wáng zuǐ jiǎo lù chū yī sī jī cháo zhī sè ， zǎo yǒu liǎng gè huà shēn dǎng zhù duì fāng de qù lù ， jiāng shǒu zhōng de fǎ bǎo hěn hěn zá là xià qù le 。
雪狐王嘴角露出一丝讥嘲之色，早有两个化身挡住对方的去路，将手中的法宝狠狠砸落下去了。
Flames burst forth, Yue Xianfeng's chest filled with blood, his throat turning sweet. He spat out a mouthful of blood.
rú … líng lì sì shè ， yuè xián fēng xiōng kǒu qì xuè fān yǒng ， hóu tóu yī tián ， yī kǒu xiān xuè pēn le chū lái 。
如…灵力四射，岳弦峰胸口气血翻涌，喉头一甜，一口鲜血喷了出来。
Seizing the opportunity, the Snow Fox King unleashed all his demon energy into his法宝 (Baofang), creating dense sword and blade shadows. Other法宝s also gained significant power as they attacked him together.
chèn tā bìng ， yào tā mìng ， xuě hú wáng zì rán bú huì shǒu xià liú qíng ， shuāng shǒu yī qiā ， jiāng hún shēn de yāo lì kuáng zhù rù shēn qián de fǎ bǎo lǐ ， dùn shí jiàn yǐng chóng chóng ， dāo guāng rú shān ， bié de fǎ bǎo yě wēi néng dà zhǎng ， yì qǐ xiàng duì fāng hōng shā guò lái 。
趁他病，要他命，雪狐王自然不会手下留情，双手一掐，将浑身的妖力狂注入身前的法宝里，顿时剑影重重，刀光如山，别的法宝也威能大涨，一起像对方轰杀过来。
The nine Snow Fox Kings blocked all escape routes; Yue Xianfeng had nowhere to go but to struggle on.
jiǔ gè xuě hú wáng jiāng suǒ yǒu de tuì lù quán bù dǔ zhù ， yuè xián fēng duǒ wú kě duǒ ， zhǐ néng miǎn qiǎng zhī chēng bà le 。
九个雪狐王将所有的退路全部堵住，岳弦峰躲无可躲，只能勉强支撑罢了。
Under these circumstances, this newly advanced great cultivator's fall was only a matter of time.
zhào zhè ge qíng xíng xià qù ， zhè wèi gāng jìn jí de dà xiū shì yǔn luò yě zhǐ shì shí jiān ér jǐ 。
照这个情形下去，这位刚晋级的大修士陨落也只是时间而己。
Yue Xianfeng groaned inwardly. But at this moment, his sect was completely on the defensive, and his fellow disciples could barely defend themselves; who would help him?
yuè xián fēng àn àn jiào kǔ ， dàn cǐ shí cǐ kè ， běn mén jǐ wán quán chù zài xià fēng ， zhū wèi shī dì néng gòu zì bǎo jiù hěn bú cuò ， nǎ hái yǒu rén néng gòu bāng dào zì jǐ ？
岳弦峰暗暗叫苦，但此时此刻，本门己完全处在下风，诸位师弟能够自保就很不错，哪还有人能够帮到自己？
Of course, he didn't want to wait for death either. He gritted his teeth and fought back, but it was all in vain. The Snow Fox King's face showed a cruel smile: "Friend Daoist Yue, still unwilling to hand over my daughter?"
dāng rán ， tā yě bù yuàn zuò yǐ dài bì ， zhǐ néng yǎo yá pīn mìng fǎn jī kǒu kě xī shì tú láo ér jǐ ， xuě hú wáng de liǎn shàng mǎn shì zhēng níng de xiào yì ：“ yuè dào yǒu ， nǐ hái bù yuàn yì jiāng wǒ nǚ ér jiāo chū lái me ？”
当然，他也不愿坐以待毙，只能咬牙拼命反击口可惜是徒劳而己，雪狐王的脸上满是狰狞的笑意：“岳道友，你还不愿意将我女儿交出来么？”
Yue Xianfeng had said this many times; he had never seen the nobility’s princesses before. The Snow Fox King's face flashed with a sinister look: "Given your stubbornness, I will take you down. As for Shang'er's whereabouts..."
yuè mǒu rén jǐ jīng shuō guò duō cì le ， cóng wèi jiàn guò guì zú de xiǎo gōng zhǔ 。“ xuě hú wáng de liǎn shàng shǎn guò yī sī yīn bà zhī sè ：” gé xià rú cǐ míng wán bù líng ， nà jiù ràng wǒ sòng nǐ shàng lù ， zhì yú xiāng ér de xià luò ，。 hēng ， nǐ dāng běn wáng zhēn bú huì sōu hún me ？“ xuě hú wáng shuō wán ， hún shēn de yāo lì pèi rán ér chū ， gōng shì yuè de xiōng hàn qǐ lái 。” jìng “ de yī shēng ， yuè xián fēng de xiān jiàn jìng rán bèi pī wèi le liǎng bàn ， cǐ wù suī fēi tā de běn mìng fǎ bǎo ， dàn yě yòng xīn shén péi liàn ， dùn shí yòu yī kǒu xiān xuè pēn le chū qù 。
岳某人己经说过多次了，从未见过贵族的小公主。“雪狐王的脸上闪过一丝阴霸之色：”阁下如此冥顽不灵，那就让我送你上路，至于香儿的下落，。亨，你当本王真不会搜魂么？“雪狐王说完，浑身的妖力沛然而出，攻势越的凶悍起来。”静“的一声，岳弦峰的仙剑竟然被劈为了两半，此物虽非他的本命法宝，但也用心神培炼，顿时又一口鲜血喷了出去。
"Shh," Yue Xianfeng's immortal sword was split in two by a sudden red light that streaked from afar and flew to the Snow Fox King.
zhè wèi dà xiū shì de jìng yù jǐ shì xiǎn zhī yòu xiǎn ， rán ér jiù zài zhè shí ， yī lǚ hóng guāng què cóng yuǎn chù jī shè ér zhì ， shì ruò shǎn diàn de fēi dào le xuě hú wáng de miàn qián 。
这位大修士的境遇己是险之又险，然而就在这时，一缕红光却从远处激射而至，势若闪电的飞到了雪狐王的面前。
The light faded, revealing an jade token.
guāng huá shōu liǎn ， guān chū le yī kuài yù pái 。
光华收敛，观出了一块玉牌。
This token shimmered with a mysterious aura.
cǐ pái guāng huá suǒ rào ， xiǎn de shén mì fēi cháng 。
此牌光华索绕，显得神秘非常。
Seeing this object, the Snow Fox King's expression changed dramatically, showing a mix of worry and joy, surprise.
What terrifying monster could have made these ancient experts so serious, forcing them to team up and fight?
This thought left Lin Xuan's face pale with dread. Yuanke's expression was similar; as the great princess of the Snow Fox Clan, she had a sharp mind and naturally understood what Lin Xuan feared.
The two exchanged glances, seeing fear in each other’s eyes!
Lin Xuan even regretted coming here. If he had known that seeking out the Nine Heavens Phoenix Technique would lead to such a predicament, it might have been better not to get involved at all and find another way.
But once an arrow is shot, there's no turning back. Even if they weren't after the technique, just wanting to leave this place required them to push forward despite their fears.
Fortunately, it had been millions of years since then, so that terrifying monster should be gone. However, Lin Xuan still harbored a bad feeling and looked at Nuhe with a shared glance. A passage appeared before their eyes.
It was very wide; more than a hundred people could walk side by side without issue. Lin Xuan released his spirit sense and found nothing amiss, so he slowly walked forward.
Nuhe hesitated for a moment before following closely behind.
"Master, I never thought that in ancient times, humans and demons on this island would have joined forces," Yue'er said slowly in his mind.

Although he said this, the Snow Fox King didn’t stop his actions. He was still using his Azure Heaven Transformation Technique. Nine Snow Fox Kings opened their mouths and simultaneously spat out a deep blue flame.
Azure Ice Demon Fire!
With his transformation stage abilities, he had advanced to the fifth level of this secret technique. Yue Xianfeng had just suffered greatly; now, he dared not face it head-on. He moved swiftly, retreating.
"Hmph,缩地术 (Zhuo Dì Shù), do you think that works in front of me?"
The Snow Fox King sneered as two transformations blocked the path and ruthlessly smashed their法宝 (Baofang) down.
Flames burst forth, Yue Xianfeng's chest filled with blood, his throat turning sweet. He spat out a mouthful of blood.
Seizing the opportunity, the Snow Fox King unleashed all his demon energy into his法宝 (Baofang), creating dense sword and blade shadows. Other法宝s also gained significant power as they attacked him together.
The nine Snow Fox Kings blocked all escape routes; Yue Xianfeng had nowhere to go but to struggle on.
Under these circumstances, this newly advanced great cultivator's fall was only a matter of time.
Yue Xianfeng groaned inwardly. But at this moment, his sect was completely on the defensive, and his fellow disciples could barely defend themselves; who would help him?
Of course, he didn't want to wait for death either. He gritted his teeth and fought back, but it was all in vain. The Snow Fox King's face showed a cruel smile: "Friend Daoist Yue, still unwilling to hand over my daughter?"
Yue Xianfeng had said this many times; he had never seen the nobility’s princesses before. The Snow Fox King's face flashed with a sinister look: "Given your stubbornness, I will take you down. As for Shang'er's whereabouts..."
"Shh," Yue Xianfeng's immortal sword was split in two by a sudden red light that streaked from afar and flew to the Snow Fox King.
The light faded, revealing an jade token.
This token shimmered with a mysterious aura.
Seeing this object, the Snow Fox King's expression changed dramatically, showing a mix of worry and joy, surprise.
