rén shēng dǐng fèi ， kàn qīng chǔ dà diàn nèi de qíng xíng hòu zhòng xiū shì què bù yóu de yī zhèn è rán ，6 yíng ér zěn me huì dào zhè lǐ lái ？
人声鼎沸，看清楚大殿内的情形后众修士却不由得一阵愕然，6盈儿怎么会到这里来？
The din of voices filled the air as the assembled cultivators were taken aback upon clearly seeing what was happening inside the grand hall. How could Ying'er possibly be here?
suī rán xiàn zài tā míng yì shàng réng shì bài xuān gé zhī zhǔ ， kě xiàn zài shuāng fāng yǐ jiāng liǎn pí sī pò ， tā nán dào bù míng bái gū shēn fàn xiǎn shì hěn yú chǔn de ？
虽然现在她名义上仍是拜轩阁之主，可现在双方已将脸皮撕破，她难道不明白孤身犯险是很愚蠢的？
Although she still nominally held the position of Master at the Drifting Cloud Pavilion, with both sides having already broken their facade, didn't she understand that venturing alone into danger was foolish?
dī jiē xiū shì zàn qiě bù shuō ， nà xiē níng dān qī de zhǎng lǎo yǐ chǔn chǔn yù dòng ， mù guāng biàn dé yīn lěng xià lái le ， bù guò què méi yǒu shuí xiān dòng ， zhè xiē dōu shì huó le jǐ bǎi nián de lǎo guài wù ， zì rán bú huì zhēng dāng chū tóu niǎo de ， xiān jiāng qíng kuàng kàn qīng chǔ zài shuō 。
低阶修士暂且不说，那些凝丹期的长老已蠢蠢欲动，目光变得阴冷下来了，不过却没有谁先动，这些都是活了几百年的老怪物，自然不会争当出头鸟的，先将情况看清楚再说。
While low-ranking cultivators were not considered, the elders in the Condensation Core stage were restless. Their gazes turned cold, but no one made a move first. These were old monsters who had lived for centuries and would naturally avoid being the first to act rashly; they needed to gather more information.
bì jìng duì fāng shēn hòu hái yǒu yī yuán yīng qī de xiū xiān zhě ， shì fǒu yě dào le cǐ chù ？
毕竟对方身后还有一元婴期的修仙者，是否也到了此处？
After all, there was still an Incarnation Stage cultivator behind their opponent. Could he have arrived here as well?
xiǎng dào zhè lǐ ， nà xiē níng dān qī xiū shì bù yóu de liǎn lù jīng kǒng zhī sè ， jiāng shén shí fàng chū ， zài fù jìn sōu suǒ 。
想到这里，那些凝丹期修士不由得脸露惊恐之色，将神识放出，在附近搜索。
These thoughts caused fear to flash across the faces of the Condensation Core cultivators as they released their divine sense and searched around.
“ hē hē ， bù yòng zhǎo le ， píng nǐ men zhè diǎn wēi mò gōng fu ， yǐ wéi néng gòu xiàn lín mǒu me ？”
“呵呵，不用找了，凭你们这点微末功夫，以为能够现林某么？”
"Haha, no need to look further. With your puny abilities, do you think you can find me?" A clear voice echoed through the hall. Suddenly, a corner that had been empty flickered with a burst of spiritual light, revealing two figures.
qīng lǎng de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr zhōng ， zhǐ jiàn dà diàn zhōng yuán běn kōng wú yì rén de jiǎo luò ， tū rán yī zhèn líng guāng shǎn shuò ， suí hòu liǎng gè rén yǐng zhú jiàn qīng xī qǐ lái le 。
清朗的声音传入耳中，只见大殿中原本空无一人的角落，突然一阵灵光闪烁，随后两个人影逐渐清晰起来了。
At the forefront was a young man in a simple green robe, medium build, and unremarkable appearance. However, he exuded an aura that made one's heart tremble with power.
dāng xiān yí gè shào nián ， yī xī qīng shān ， zhōng děng shēn cái ， róng mào yě háo bù qǐ yǎn ， rán ér hún shēn què yǒu lìng rén xīn chàn de fǎ lì sàn chū lái 。
当先一个少年，一夕青衫，中等身材，容貌也毫不起眼，然而浑身却有令人心颤的法力散出来。
Of course, it was Lin Xuan.
bú yòng shuō ， zì rán shì lín xuān 。
不用说，自然是林轩。
Despite having prepared for this, the cultivators' faces changed dramatically upon sensing his Incarnation Stage presence. Anger mingled with fear as they realized their predicament.
jǐn guǎn yǐ yǒu xīn lǐ zhǔn bèi ， kě gǎn shòu dào cǐ zi yuán yīng qī de xiū wèi ， zhòng xiū shì hái shì liǎn sè dà biàn ， gèng yǒu dǎn xiǎo de hún shēn dǒu le qǐ lái 。
尽管已有心理准备，可感受到此子元婴期的修为，众修士还是脸色大变，更有胆小的浑身抖了起来。
Lin Xuan crossed his arms and stood calmly in place, unaffected by the others who were now hesitating or scheming.
suī rán tā men rén duō ， dàn yuán yīng lǎo guài de xiū wèi shén guǐ mò cè ， jué fēi tā men zhè zhǒng wū hé zhī zhòng néng gòu dǐ dǎng de 。
虽然他们人多，但元婴老怪的修为神鬼莫测，绝非他们这种乌合之众能够抵挡的。
He directed his gaze towards where the two combatants were locked in battle.
ér zài lín xuān páng biān ， hái yǒu yī míng shǎo gǔn fáng hé xié gǔn nǚ ， gōng jìng shì lì ， shēn cái fēng yú ， róng mào tǎo xǐ ， kàn xiàng lín xuān de mù guāng gèng chōng mǎn le qīn mù zhī yì ， zhèng shì liú xīn cǐ nǚ 。
而在林轩旁边，还有一名少丨防和谐丨女，恭敬侍立，身材丰腴，容貌讨喜，看向林轩的目光更充满了钦慕之意，正是刘芯此女。
Ma Yutong was more anxious than anyone else. As a traitor, he knew that they would never let him go.
mǎ yún tōng de biǎo qíng yě hǎo bú dào nǎ ér qù ， yuán běn tā suī chī jīng 6 yíng ér de xiū wèi tū fēi měng jìn ， kě dà pī bāng shǒu dào lái hòu yǐ xīn sī níng dìng ， zhèng xiǎng zhāo hū zhòng rén yǐ zhòng líng guǎ ， jiāng cǐ nǚ miè shā ， nǎ zhī dào zuì dān xīn de shì qíng hái shì shēng le a ！
马云通的表情也好不到哪儿去，原本他虽吃惊6盈儿的修为突飞猛进，可大批帮手到来后已心思宁定，正想招呼众人以众凌寡，将此女灭杀，哪知道最担心的事情还是生了啊！
The situation was already unfavorable. The Heaven Destiny Vessel had shown no signs of movement while their opponent had breached their stronghold. A single misstep could mean total failure. Now, the only thing to do was to find a way to escape and seek help from the elder at the Departure Medicine Palace on the Heaven Destiny Vessel.
gāo shǒu guò zhāo ， zuì jì fēn shén ， tā xīn zhōng yī shēng qiè yì ， xíng shì dùn shí biàn dé yuè de bù lì ， bì yù qīng guāng zhuó pán xuán fēi wǔ ， líng guāng shǎn shuò ， jiāng nà zǐ sè de xuè dāo bī dé lián lián hòu tuì le 。
高手过招，最忌分神，他心中一生怯意，形势顿时变得越的不利，碧玉青光镯盘旋飞舞，灵光闪烁，将那紫色的血刀逼得连连后退了。
Ma Yutong's thoughts raced as he considered his options. However, before he could finish his train of thought, his face changed dramatically. After a fierce battle with that strange bracelet, his Blood Demon Sword had lost much of its luster and was now covered in fine cracks...
nà xiē fǎn pàn de xiū shì bù yóu de yī dāi ， mǎn miàn è rán ， biǎo qíng biàn dé shí fēn gǔ guài ， tā men yě tīng shuō liǎng wèi gé zhǔ níng chéng le jīn dān ， kě zhè me duǎn shí jiān ， kǒng pà jìng jiè dōu shàng wèi wěn gù ， xiū wèi zěn me kě néng tū fēi měng jìn dào rú cǐ dì bù ？
那些反叛的修士不由得一呆，满面愕然，表情变得十分古怪，他们也听说两位阁主凝成了金丹，可这么短时间，恐怕境界都尚未稳固，修为怎么可能突飞猛进到如此地步？
This was his life-bound treasure, something he had spent countless efforts to consecrate. Ma Yutong felt immense pain and rage.
shuō qǐ zhè yīn hún fù shēn zhī shù ， què shí shì guǐ yì fēi cháng de ， yóu yú shì yǐ hún pò jiè yòng shēng rén de qū tǐ ， suǒ yǐ yuè ér de jìng jiè suī rán yǐ dào le jiǎ yīng qī ， shí lì yě jǐn shì shāo dǎ zhé kòu ér yǐ ， kě nà xiē rén shén shí sǎo lái ， kàn dào de què jǐn jǐn shì 6 yíng ér de xiū wèi 。
说起这阴魂附身之术，确实是诡异非常的，由于是以魂魄借用生人的躯体，所以月儿的境界虽然已到了假婴期，实力也仅是稍打折扣而已，可那些人神识扫来，看到的却仅仅是6盈儿的修为。
Reaching into his storage bag, he summoned a small, fist-sized bead.
suǒ yǐ tā men shí zài gǎo bù dǒng ， yī chū qī xiū shì wèi hé néng jiāng hòu qī xiū shì bī dé láng bèi bù zhǐ ， zhè wán quán diān fù le tā men duì yú xiū xiān jiè de rèn zhī 。
所以他们实在搞不懂，一初期修士为何能将后期修士逼得狼狈不止，这完全颠覆了他们对于修仙界的认知。
Surprisingly, this bead was sealed with a talisman, as if it were being held down by some force.
rén zuì kǒng jù de jiù shì wèi zhī zhī shì ， zhè xiē xīn huái bù guǐ de zhǎng lǎo gòng fèng ， cǐ kè duì yú zhè wèi shén mì de gé zhǔ ， dùn shí shēng chū yī gǔ mò míng de jìng wèi zhī xīn lái le 。
人最恐惧的就是未知之事，这些心怀不轨的长老供奉，此刻对于这位神秘的阁主，顿时生出一股莫名的敬畏之心来了。
Lin Xuan's pupils constricted, but a hint of amusement played on his face.
yǐ lín xuān de xīn jī ， jiāng zhè xiē rén de biǎo qíng biàn huà jìn shōu yǎn dǐ ， zì rán bù nán cāi dào tā men xīn zhōng suǒ jù ， àn àn diǎn tóu ， cǐ xíng yǐ suàn chū bù dá dào le mù dì 。
以林轩的心机，将这些人的表情变化尽收眼底，自然不难猜到他们心中所惧，暗暗点头，此行已算初步达到了目的。
Liu Xin also sensed the difference and her expression turned serious.
tā shuāng shǒu bào xiōng ， biǎo qíng dàn rán de zhàn zài yuán dì 。
他双手抱胸，表情淡然的站在原地。
Ma Yutong reached out without hesitation to peel off the talisman.
yǒu yī yuán yīng lǎo guài zài páng biān zhèn shè ， qí tā rén zì rán bù gǎn qīng jǔ wàng dòng le ， yǒu de dī xià tou ， yǒu de zé yǎn zhū luàn zhuǎn ， míng xiǎn àn àn zài chóu sī zhe shén me 。
有一元婴老怪在旁边震慑，其他人自然不敢轻举妄动了，有的低下头，有的则眼珠乱转，明显暗暗在筹思着什么。
A thick cloud of ghostly mist erupted, with shrill screams echoing inside. A stench of blood and savagery spread around them.
lín xuān què shì ruò wú dǔ ， suǒ yǒu de yī qiè dōu jǐn zài zhǎng wò ， tā jiāng mù guāng tóu xiàng le liǎng rén dòu fǎ zhī chù 。
林轩却视若无睹，所有的一切都尽在掌握，他将目光投向了两人斗法之处。
"Blood Demon Pearl!"
yǔ qí tā rén xiāng bǐ ， mǎ yún tōng gèng jiā de jiāo jí ， zuò wèi pàn nì è ， tā zhī dào duì fāng shì jué bù kě néng fàng guò zì jǐ de 。
与其他人相比，马云通更加的焦急，做为叛逆恶，他知道对方是绝不可能放过自己的。
Lin Xuan's face showed surprise. He hadn't expected anyone to have such a fearsome treasure.
yǎn qián de xíng shì yǐ hěn bù lì le ， tiān yuán fǎng nà biān bàn diǎn dòng jìng yě wú ， xiāng fǎn duì fāng què gōng rù le zì jǐ de lǎo cháo zhī zhōng 。 yī zhe bù shèn ， mǎn pán jiē shū ， xiàn zài yào zuò de ， jiù shì xiǎng bàn fǎ kàn rú hé táo zǒu ， rán hòu zài qù tiān yuán fǎng qiú nà wèi lí yào gōng de zhǎng lǎo xiāng zhù ， wèi shǐ méi yǒu jī huì fān pán de 。
眼前的形势已很不利了，天缘舫那边半点动静也无，相反对方却攻入了自己的老巢之中。一着不慎，满盘皆输，现在要做的，就是想办法看如何逃走，然后再去天缘舫求那位离药宫的长老相助，未始没有机会翻盘的。
A Blood Demon was indeed a monster from the Netherworld, requiring a Ghost King-level entity. It needed to be subdued by a cultivator using their divine techniques and then refined through secret methods. The process was similar to refining a weapon but far more perilous.
mǎ yún tōng hěn hěn de xiǎng zhe ， rán ér zhè ge niàn tou shàng wèi zhuǎn wán ， què liǎn sè dà biàn ， mó xuè dāo yǔ duì fāng nà gǔ guài de shǒu zhuó yī fān zhēng dòu zhī hòu ， bù jǐn guāng máng àn dàn le xǔ duō ， biǎo miàn hái yǐn yǐn yǒu wú shù xì xiǎo de liè wén chū xiàn le ……
马云通狠狠的想着，然而这个念头尚未转完，却脸色大变，魔血刀与对方那古怪的手镯一番争斗之后，不仅光芒黯淡了许多，表面还隐隐有无数细小的裂纹出现了……
Despite the strange nature of this Blood Demon, it required its master to feed it with essence blood every few days to suppress its violent nature.
cǐ wù kě shì tā de běn mìng fǎ bǎo ， ér qiě dāng chū huā fèi liǎo wú shù xīn xuè hǎo bù róng yì cái jì liàn chéng gōng ， mǎ yún tōng dà wèi tòng xī ， xīn zhōng gèng shì jīng nù jiāo jí 。
此物可是他的本命法宝，而且当初花费了无数心血好不容易才祭炼成功，马云通大为痛惜，心中更是惊怒交集。
Though rare, many desired such a powerful treasure. Lin Xuan hadn't expected Ma Yutong to have such an item.
shēn chū shǒu lái ， zài chǔ wù dài shàng yī pāi ， yí gè quán tou dà xiǎo de zhū zi bèi jì le qǐ lái 。
伸出手来，在储物袋上一拍，一个拳头大小的珠子被祭了起来。
This Blood Demon had been obtained decades ago when ghosts were rampant. After refining it according to secret methods, he had endured much hardship but also gained the upper hand over numerous enemies. He considered it his trump card and final defense.
gǔ guài de shì ， cǐ zhū biǎo miàn hái tiē zhe yī zhāng fú lù ， jiù xiàng shì fēng yìn zhèn gǔn fáng hé xié gǔn yā zhe shén me 。
古怪的是，此珠表面还贴着一张符箓，就像是封印镇丨防和谐丨压着什么。
The situation was too sudden, with Ying'er's power far exceeding expectations and an Incarnation Stage cultivator present. Thus, he summoned the Blood Demon again.
lín xuān tóng kǒng wēi suō ， liǎn shàng què lù chū le jǐ fēn wán wèi zhī sè 。
林轩瞳孔微缩，脸上却露出了几分玩味之色。
He didn't hope for a comeback but intended to put Ying'er in danger. The Incarnation Stage elder would surely intervene, allowing him to escape.
liú xīn sì hū yě gǎn jué dào bù tóng ， liǎn shàng liú lù chū jǐ fēn zhèng zhòng 。
刘芯似乎也感觉到不同，脸上流露出几分郑重。
Though this meant destroying his treasure, compared to his life, it was insignificant.
mǎ yún tōng shēn chū shǒu ， háo bù yóu yù de jiāng nà fú lù jiē xià le 。
马云通伸出手，毫不犹豫的将那符箓揭下了。
In truth, Ma Yutong was a formidable foe, a true master of the battlefield. Unfortunately, he had become Lin Xuan's opponent.
yī gǔ hēi méng méng de guǐ wù pēn bó ér chū ， lǐ miàn yǐn yǐn chuán lái le jiān lì de sī hǒu ， gèng yǒu xiōng shà de xuè xīng zhī qì xiàng zhe sì zhōu mí màn kāi le 。
一股黑蒙蒙的鬼雾喷薄而出，里面隐隐传来了尖利的嘶吼，更有凶煞的血腥之气向着四周弥漫开了。
Moreover, things might not go as he planned.
“ xuè guǐ zhū ！”
“血鬼珠！”
The ghostly mist enveloped an area of several dozen feet, obscuring Ying'er's form. However, she showed no fear and even seemed slightly pleased.
lín xuān liǎn shàng liú lù chū yī sī yà sè ， méi xiǎng dào hái zhēn yǒu rén jì liàn zhè zhǒng xiōng shà zhī wù 。
林轩脸上流露出一丝讶色，没想到还真有人祭炼这种凶煞之物。
Blood Demon—any cultivator of similar rank would be hard-pressed to deal with such a creature. But being a ghost, trained in ghostly techniques, this was a rare treasure that the young girl had long sought but never found. Now, someone was offering it for free; how could she not be delighted?
suǒ wèi xuè guǐ ， gù míng sī yì ， yě shì yī zhǒng yīn sī jiè de guài wù ， ér qiě bì xū shì guǐ wáng děng jí de ， bèi xiū shì yòng shén tōng zhì zhù yǐ hòu ， yǐ mì fǎ jiā yǐ péi liàn ， qí guò chéng yǔ liàn ？ yǒu jǐ fēn lèi sì ， dàn què yào xiōng xiǎn de duō 。
所谓血鬼，顾名思义，也是一种阴司界的怪物，而且必须是鬼王等级的，被修士用神通制住以后，以秘法加以陪炼，其过程与炼？有几分类似，但却要凶险的多。
Moreover, the ghostly mist concealed her form from the spectators' divine senses, allowing her to use her own treasures without restraint.
qí zhōng de guǐ yì zhī chù zàn qiě bù shuō ， jù shuō měi gé shù rì ， zhǔ rén jiù bì xū yòng běn shēn de jīng xuè wèi yǎng xuè guǐ ， zhǐ yǒu zhè yàng ， cái néng yā zhì zhè zhǒng fēng kuáng guǐ wù de fǎn shì 。
其中的诡异之处暂且不说，据说每隔数日，主人就必须用本身的精血喂养血鬼，只有这样，才能压制这种疯狂鬼物的反噬。
"Such...!"
yīn wèi xuè guǐ nán mì ， ér qiě sì yǎng péi liàn de fāng fǎ tài guò má fán jiān xiǎn ， suǒ yǐ zhè zhǒng guǐ dào shén tōng hěn shǎo xiàn shì 。
因为血鬼难觅，而且饲养培炼的方法太过麻烦艰险，所以这种鬼道神通很少现世。
Ma Yutong's eyes widened in shock. He too practiced ghostly techniques and recognized the intense negative energy of this treasure as something a ghost cultivator would train for—similar to the Demon Sovereign's Ten Thousand Souls Treasure.
bù guò sú huà shuō dé hǎo ， shī zhī dōng ǒu 。 shōu zhī sāng yú ， sì yǎng xuè guǐ gù rán jiān nán le yī xiē ， dàn zhè zhǒng mó wù què shì wēi lì wú bǐ 。 bù shǎo rén àn zhōng chuí xián bù yǐ 。
不过俗话说得好，失之东偶。收之桑榆，饲养血鬼固然艰难了一些，但这种魔物却是威力无比。不少人暗中垂涎不已。
But Ying'er wasn't practicing orthodox Daoist techniques, yet she had some connection with ghostly methods. What was going on?
suī rán lín xuān yě zhī dào mǎ yún tōng xiū liàn de nǎi guǐ dào zhī shù ， dàn yě méi xiǎng dào duì fāng jū rán huì yǒu zhè zhǒng bǎo wù 。
虽然林轩也知道马云通修炼的乃鬼道之术，但也没想到对方居然会有这种宝物。
Ma Yutong's eyes widened in fear and regret. If only he hadn't betrayed his path...
cǐ xuè guǐ hái shì shù shí nián qián yīn hún sì nüè de shí hòu ， tā wú yì suǒ de ， suí hòu biàn gēn jù mì fǎ jì liàn qǐ lái le ， qí zhōng zì rán yě chī le bù shǎo kǔ tóu ， dàn tóng yàng de ， bù shǎo qiáng dí yě yīn cǐ sǐ zài le shǒu zhōng ， lì lái bèi qí shì zuò shā shǒu jiǎn ， zuì hòu de fáng shēn dǐ pái 。
此血鬼还是数十年前阴魂肆虐的时候，他无意所得，随后便根据秘法祭炼起来了，其中自然也吃了不少苦头，但同样的，不少强敌也因此死在了手中，历来被其视做杀手锏，最后的防身底牌。
However, as a late-stage Condensation Core cultivator, he quickly pushed aside such thoughts. It was too late to change anything now.
zhè cì shì qíng biàn huà tài kuài ， bù jǐn 6 yíng ér xiū wèi gāo dé chū qí ， páng biān hái yǒu yī yuán yīng qī lǎo guài ， yú shì tā zài cì jì chū le xuè guǐ 。
这次事情变化太快，不仅6盈儿修为高得出奇，旁边还有一元婴期老怪，于是他再次祭出了血鬼。
A cruel expression crossed his face as he opened his mouth and spat out a sword of light, severing his left hand. Blood gushed profusely. He applied a talisman to the wound before throwing the severed limb to the Blood Demon.
dāng rán bù jì xī wàng fǎn bài wéi shèng ， dàn kěn dìng huì ràng 6 yíng ér shēn xiàn xiǎn jìng zhī zhōng ， nà yuán yīng lǎo guài jì duì cǐ nǚ kàn zhòng ， miǎn bù liǎo yào chū shǒu xiàng jiù ， nà zì jǐ jiù kě yǐ chèn jī táo zǒu 。
当然不寄希望反败为胜，但肯定会让6盈儿身陷险境之中，那元婴老怪既对此女看重，免不了要出手相救，那自己就可以趁机逃走。
Even ghostly beings could be used for sustenance.
suī rán rú cǐ yī lái ， xuè guǐ yě jiù huǐ le ， dàn yǔ xìng mìng xiàng bǐ ， bǎo wù zhe shí suàn bù liǎo shén me 。
虽然如此一来，血鬼也就毁了，但与性命相比，宝物着实算不了什么。
The Blood Demon's eyes glowed red as it bit down on the severed limb, chewing and swallowing it whole.
píng xīn lái shuō ， cǐ rén shā fá jué duàn ， dào yě suàn yí dài xiāo xióng ， kě xī piān piān zuò le lín xuān de duì shǒu 。
平心来说，此人杀伐决断，倒也算一代枭雄，可惜偏偏做了林轩的对手。
Roar!
hé kuàng yǒu xiē shì qíng ， wèi bì huì rú tā suǒ xiǎng de 。
何况有些事情，未必会如他所想的。
Its aura began to swell, growing horns like a goat. Its eyes flashed with vicious ferocity, and the negative energy seemed tangible.
guǐ wù rú mò ， xùn jiāng fāng yuán shù shí zhàng de fàn wéi dōu lǒng zhào zài qí zhōng ，6 yíng ér de shēn yǐng zì rán yě bèi yān mò ， kě cǐ nǚ liǎn shàng què sī háo méi yǒu jù sè ， shèn zhì hái yǒu yì diǎn dàn dàn jīng xǐ de 。
鬼雾如墨，迅将方圆数十丈的范围都笼罩在其中，6盈儿的身影自然也被淹没，可此女脸上却丝毫没有惧色，甚至还有一点淡淡惊喜的。
Ying'er remained calm despite the danger. Closing her eyes, she performed two hand seals while chanting an incomprehensible incantation that sounded like a song or a whisper...
xuè guǐ ， rú guǒ huàn yī míng tóng jiē xiū shì ， shí yǒu bā gǔn fáng hé xié gǔn jiǔ yě huì tóu téng ， rán ér běn jiù shì yīn hún ， xiū liàn de yě shì guǐ dào shén tōng ， zhè yàng de dōng xī ， zé gēn běn jiù shì kě yù bù kě qiú de bǎo wù ， xiǎo yā tou zǎo jiù zài zhǎo ， kě xī zěn me yě zhǎo bú dào ， rú jīn jū rán yǒu rén miǎn fèi sòng shàng mén lái ， tā zěn me néng bù xīn zhōng huān xǐ ne 。
血鬼，如果换一名同阶修士，十有八丨防和谐丨九也会头疼，然而本就是阴魂，修炼的也是鬼道神通，这样的东西，则根本就是可遇不可求的宝物，小丫头早就再找，可惜怎么也找不到，如今居然有人免费送上门来，她怎么能不心中欢喜呢。
Opening her eyes, she pointed at the Blood Demon.
gèng miào de shì guǐ wù jiāng zì jǐ de shēn xíng bāo guǒ 。 nà xiē páng guān xiū shì de shén shí shì xiàn ， yě tóng yàng bèi zǔ duàn le ， rú cǐ yǐ lái ， zì jǐ jiù bù yòng fù shǒu fù jiǎo ， kě yǐ shǐ yòng chū běn shēn de shén tōng bǎo wù 。 sú huà shuō ， tiān zuò niè ， yóu kě huó 。 zì zuò niè ， bù kě huó ， zhè mǎ yún tōng gēn běn jiù shì zuò jiǎn zì fù 。
更妙的是鬼雾将自己的身形包裹。那些旁观修士的神识视线，也同样被阻断了，如此以来，自己就不用缚手缚脚，可以使用出本身的神通宝物。俗话说，天作孽，犹可活。自作孽，不可活，这马云通根本就是作茧自缚。
The Beast Soul Flag rapidly grew until it was over a yard in size.
6 yíng ér de chún biān ， liú lù chū yī sī “ tián tián ” de xiào róng ， zhǐ bù guò nà xiào ， zěn me kàn ， dōu yǒu jǐ fēn guǐ yì jiù shì le 。
6盈儿的唇边，流露出一丝“甜甜”的笑容，只不过那笑，怎么看，都有几分诡异就是了。
Then, the surface of the flag rippled like water, revealing a deep hole filled with dense negative energy.
yù bì tái qǐ ， zhǎng xīn bái lǐ tòu hóng ， rán ér què yǒu guǐ qì shǎn shuò ， yī bǐng xiǎo qiǎo de mó fān fú xiàn zài le zhǎng xīn zhī zhōng 。
玉臂抬起，掌心白里透红，然而却有鬼气闪烁，一柄小巧的魔幡浮现在了掌心之中。
Seeing this, the Blood Demon hesitated, showing confusion on its face.
“ zhè ……”
“这……”
For such a ghostly monster, the most appealing place was one rich in negative energy. That's why Ma Yutong had created that bead as a dwelling for the Blood Demon. However, while the bead contained some negative energy, it paled in comparison to the myriad souls within the Beast Soul Flag.
mǎ yún tōng mù dèng kǒu dāi le ， tā yě shì guǐ dào de xiū xiān zhě ， rú hé kàn bù chū cǐ bǎo yīn qì jí nóng ， míng xiǎn shì guǐ dào zhī rén cái huì xiū liàn de ， ér qiě yǒu jǐ fēn xiàng jí è mó zūn de wàn hún zhī bǎo 。
马云通目瞪口呆了，他也是鬼道的修仙者，如何看不出此宝阴气极浓，明显是鬼道之人才会修炼的，而且有几分像极恶魔尊的万魂之宝。
The dark Yin energy emanating from the flag was like a drunkard encountering fine wine; its allure was undeniable.
The din of voices filled the air as the assembled cultivators were taken aback upon clearly seeing what was happening inside the grand hall. How could Ying'er possibly be here?
Although she still nominally held the position of Master at the Drifting Cloud Pavilion, with both sides having already broken their facade, didn't she understand that venturing alone into danger was foolish?
While low-ranking cultivators were not considered, the elders in the Condensation Core stage were restless. Their gazes turned cold, but no one made a move first. These were old monsters who had lived for centuries and would naturally avoid being the first to act rashly; they needed to gather more information.
After all, there was still an Incarnation Stage cultivator behind their opponent. Could he have arrived here as well?
These thoughts caused fear to flash across the faces of the Condensation Core cultivators as they released their divine sense and searched around.
"Haha, no need to look further. With your puny abilities, do you think you can find me?" A clear voice echoed through the hall. Suddenly, a corner that had been empty flickered with a burst of spiritual light, revealing two figures.
At the forefront was a young man in a simple green robe, medium build, and unremarkable appearance. However, he exuded an aura that made one's heart tremble with power.
Of course, it was Lin Xuan.
Despite having prepared for this, the cultivators' faces changed dramatically upon sensing his Incarnation Stage presence. Anger mingled with fear as they realized their predicament.
Lin Xuan crossed his arms and stood calmly in place, unaffected by the others who were now hesitating or scheming.
He directed his gaze towards where the two combatants were locked in battle.
Ma Yutong was more anxious than anyone else. As a traitor, he knew that they would never let him go.
The situation was already unfavorable. The Heaven Destiny Vessel had shown no signs of movement while their opponent had breached their stronghold. A single misstep could mean total failure. Now, the only thing to do was to find a way to escape and seek help from the elder at the Departure Medicine Palace on the Heaven Destiny Vessel.
Ma Yutong's thoughts raced as he considered his options. However, before he could finish his train of thought, his face changed dramatically. After a fierce battle with that strange bracelet, his Blood Demon Sword had lost much of its luster and was now covered in fine cracks...
This was his life-bound treasure, something he had spent countless efforts to consecrate. Ma Yutong felt immense pain and rage.
Reaching into his storage bag, he summoned a small, fist-sized bead.
Surprisingly, this bead was sealed with a talisman, as if it were being held down by some force.
Lin Xuan's pupils constricted, but a hint of amusement played on his face.
Liu Xin also sensed the difference and her expression turned serious.
Ma Yutong reached out without hesitation to peel off the talisman.
A thick cloud of ghostly mist erupted, with shrill screams echoing inside. A stench of blood and savagery spread around them.
"Blood Demon Pearl!"
Lin Xuan's face showed surprise. He hadn't expected anyone to have such a fearsome treasure.
A Blood Demon was indeed a monster from the Netherworld, requiring a Ghost King-level entity. It needed to be subdued by a cultivator using their divine techniques and then refined through secret methods. The process was similar to refining a weapon but far more perilous.
Despite the strange nature of this Blood Demon, it required its master to feed it with essence blood every few days to suppress its violent nature.
Though rare, many desired such a powerful treasure. Lin Xuan hadn't expected Ma Yutong to have such an item.
This Blood Demon had been obtained decades ago when ghosts were rampant. After refining it according to secret methods, he had endured much hardship but also gained the upper hand over numerous enemies. He considered it his trump card and final defense.
The situation was too sudden, with Ying'er's power far exceeding expectations and an Incarnation Stage cultivator present. Thus, he summoned the Blood Demon again.
He didn't hope for a comeback but intended to put Ying'er in danger. The Incarnation Stage elder would surely intervene, allowing him to escape.
Though this meant destroying his treasure, compared to his life, it was insignificant.
In truth, Ma Yutong was a formidable foe, a true master of the battlefield. Unfortunately, he had become Lin Xuan's opponent.
Moreover, things might not go as he planned.
The ghostly mist enveloped an area of several dozen feet, obscuring Ying'er's form. However, she showed no fear and even seemed slightly pleased.
Blood Demon—any cultivator of similar rank would be hard-pressed to deal with such a creature. But being a ghost, trained in ghostly techniques, this was a rare treasure that the young girl had long sought but never found. Now, someone was offering it for free; how could she not be delighted?
Moreover, the ghostly mist concealed her form from the spectators' divine senses, allowing her to use her own treasures without restraint.
"Such...!"
Ma Yutong's eyes widened in shock. He too practiced ghostly techniques and recognized the intense negative energy of this treasure as something a ghost cultivator would train for—similar to the Demon Sovereign's Ten Thousand Souls Treasure.
But Ying'er wasn't practicing orthodox Daoist techniques, yet she had some connection with ghostly methods. What was going on?
Ma Yutong's eyes widened in fear and regret. If only he hadn't betrayed his path...
However, as a late-stage Condensation Core cultivator, he quickly pushed aside such thoughts. It was too late to change anything now.
A cruel expression crossed his face as he opened his mouth and spat out a sword of light, severing his left hand. Blood gushed profusely. He applied a talisman to the wound before throwing the severed limb to the Blood Demon.
Even ghostly beings could be used for sustenance.
The Blood Demon's eyes glowed red as it bit down on the severed limb, chewing and swallowing it whole.
Roar!
Its aura began to swell, growing horns like a goat. Its eyes flashed with vicious ferocity, and the negative energy seemed tangible.
Ying'er remained calm despite the danger. Closing her eyes, she performed two hand seals while chanting an incomprehensible incantation that sounded like a song or a whisper...
Opening her eyes, she pointed at the Blood Demon.
The Beast Soul Flag rapidly grew until it was over a yard in size.
Then, the surface of the flag rippled like water, revealing a deep hole filled with dense negative energy.
Seeing this, the Blood Demon hesitated, showing confusion on its face.
For such a ghostly monster, the most appealing place was one rich in negative energy. That's why Ma Yutong had created that bead as a dwelling for the Blood Demon. However, while the bead contained some negative energy, it paled in comparison to the myriad souls within the Beast Soul Flag.
The dark Yin energy emanating from the flag was like a drunkard encountering fine wine; its allure was undeniable.
