原来如此,那是我多心错怪道友了，还望混元兄不要介意”黑虎妖王一呆，脸上的怒色消匿不见，转而露出大喜过望的表情来。
It turned out that was just my overthinking and wrongly blaming you, Brother Fellow. I hope Brother Huanyuan doesn't mind," said the Black Tiger Devil King in a daze as his anger vanished, replaced by an expression of great joy.
hùn yuán lǎo zǔ bǎi le bǎi shǒu ， yǐ tā de chéng fǔ ， zhè yàng de xiǎo shì zì rán bú huì fàng zài xīn zhōng ， xiù páo yī fú ， jǐ gān yán sè gè yì de zhèn qí fēi lüè ér chū 。
混元老祖摆了摆手，以他的城府，这样的小事自然不会放在心中，袖袍一拂，几杆颜色各异的阵旗飞掠而出。
Huanyuan Senior Patriarch waved his hand; with his profound wisdom, such a minor matter was naturally not worth worrying about. He swept his sleeves and several differently colored array flags shot out.
biǎo miàn fú wén shǎn shuò ， rán ér què yǔ lín xuān jiàn guò de dà bù xiāng tóng ， xiǎn rán shì mò yuè zú tè yǒu de wū shù 。
表面符文闪烁，然而却与林轩见过的大不相同，显然是墨月族特有的巫术。
The surface inscriptions flickered, but they were quite different from the ones Lin Xuan had seen before, clearly belonging to the Moonshade Clan’s unique witchcraft.
hùn yuán lǎo zǔ shuāng shǒu huī dòng ， zī shì guài yì ér gǔ piáo ， jǐ dào fǎ jué jiē lián dǎ chū ， nà xiē zhèn qí yī chàn ， suí hòu mò rù jìn le zhōu wéi de shān shí bú jiàn 。
混元老祖双手挥动，姿势怪异而古朴，几道法诀接连打出，那些阵旗一颤，随后没入进了周围的山石不见。
Huanyuan Senior Patriarch moved his hands in a strange and ancient manner, casting several spells. The array flags trembled and then disappeared into the surrounding rocks.
yī céng wù hēi de hù zhào suí zhī yìng rù yǎn lián ， lǐ miàn mó wù fān yǒng ， léi shēng lóng lóng ， wēi lì xiǎn rán fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， rán ér hēi hǔ yāo wáng de liǎn shàng què lù chū bù jiě zhī sè ， zhè zhèn fǎ de dòng jìng tài dà le ， bié shuō kǒng què xiān zi ， jiù shì xiǎo xiǎo de zhù jī qī xiū shì ， yě néng qīng yì jué ， zhè hái yǒu shén me tōu xí de xiào guǒ 。
一层物黑的护罩随之映入眼帘，里面魔雾翻涌，雷声隆隆，威力显然非同小可，然而黑虎妖王的脸上却露出不解之色，这阵法的动静太大了，别说孔雀仙子，就是小小的筑基期修士，也能轻易觉，这还有什么偷袭的效果。
A black protective barrier appeared, with dark magic swirling inside and thunder rumbling. However, the Black Tiger Devil King's expression showed confusion; this array’s effects were too obvious, even for a Fairy Phoenix to be deceived by it. There was no stealth value at all.
rán ér hùn yuán lǎo zǔ què yī liǎn zì xìn zhī sè ， zhǐ jiàn tā zuǒ shǒu fān zhuǎn ， yī zhāng mò lǜ sè de fú zhuàn zài zhǎng xīn zhōng chū xiàn ， suí hòu qū zhǐ yī dàn 。 nà fú wú fēng zì rán ，“ pēng ” de yī shēng bào kāi ， huà wèi wǔ kē quán tou dà xiǎo de lǜ sè guāng qiú ， mò rù jìn le hēi sè de mó qì lǐ miàn 。
然而混元老祖却一脸自信之色，只见他左手翻转，一张墨绿色的符篆在掌心中出现，随后屈指一弹。那符无风自燃，“嘭”的一声爆开，化为五颗拳头大小的绿色光球，没入进了黑色的魔气里面。
But Huanyuan Senior Patriarch had a confident look on his face. He flipped his left hand, and a green talisman appeared in his palm before he flicked his fingers. The talisman burst into flames without wind, exploding with a loud bang to form five green light spheres that sank into the dark magic.
mó qì xiāo sàn ， jǐng wù chóng xīn xiǎn lù chū lái ， hēi hǔ jiàng shén shí fàng chū ， zài zhōu wéi xì xì sǎo guò ， suí hòu liǎn shàng lù chū hài rán zhī sè ：“ hùn yuán xiōng hǎo shén tōng ， zhè zhèn fǎ yǔ wǒ yǐ qián jiàn guò de wán quán bù tóng ， méi yǒu sī háo líng lì bō dòng 。 yòng lái tōu xí ， zhēn shì zuì hǎo de dōng xī ， xiǎng lái yǐ nà kǒng què xiān zi de líng shí ， yě bì bèi mán guò 。 bù zhī bù jué ， jiù tà rù xiàn zhèn zhī zhōng ”
魔气消散，景物重新显露出来，黑虎将神识放出，在周围细细扫过，随后脸上露出骇然之色：“混元兄好神通，这阵法与我以前见过的完全不同，没有丝毫灵力波动。用来偷袭，真是最好的东西，想来以那孔雀仙子的灵识，也必被瞒过。不知不觉，就踏入陷阵之中”
The dark magic dissipated as scenery reappeared. The Black Tiger Devil King released his divine sense, scanning around carefully and then showing shock: "Brother Huanyuan has great power; this array is entirely different from what I’ve seen before. There’s no trace of essence energy. It would be the perfect tool for an ambush, and even with that Fairy Phoenix’s divine awareness, she’d likely be deceived."
“ hē hē ， dào yǒu miù zàn le 。 zhè zhèn fǎ ， nǎi shì wǒ xiān bèi chuán xià ， què shí yǒu xiē xuán miào zài lǐ tou ， bù guò jiù wēi lì lái shuō 。 kě bù zú yǐ duì fù huà xíng zhōng qī de yāo zú 。“ hùn yuán lǎo zǔ yī xiào de shuō 。
“呵呵，道友谬赞了。这阵法，乃是我先辈传下，确实有些玄妙在里头，不过就威力来说。可不足以对付化形中期的妖族。“混元老祖一笑的说。
"Haha, Fellow Daoist flatters me. This array was passed down by my ancestors; it does have some mysterious properties. However, its power isn’t enough to deal with mid-stage demon races," Huanyuan Senior Patriarch said with a smile.
“ zhè yǒu shén me guān xì ， zhǐ yào néng qiān chě kǒng què xiān zi yī bù fèn jīng lì ， jiù yǐ zú gòu ， shèng xià de nǐ wǒ lián shǒu ， dìng néng jiāng tā shēng qín huó zhuō 。” hēi hǔ yāo wáng xīng fèn de shuō ：“ hǎo le ， shì bù yí chí 。 nǐ wǒ yě jiāng shēn xíng yǐn qù ， miǎn de bèi cǐ nǚ xiàn le xíng jì
“这有什么关系，只要能牵扯孔雀仙子一部分精力，就已足够，剩下的你我联手，定能将她生擒活捉。”黑虎妖王兴奋的说：“好了，事不宜迟。你我也将身形隐去，免得被此女现了行迹
"It doesn’t matter. As long as we can distract Fairy Phoenix and keep her occupied, the rest is up to us two working together to capture her," the Black Tiger Devil King replied confidently.
hùn yuán lǎo zǔ zì rán méi yǒu yì yì ， yī rén yī yāo gè zì cóng chǔ wù dài zhōng qǔ chū yī zhāng fú zhuàn ， wǎng shēn shàng yī pāi ， suí hòu shēn yǐng jiù yuè lái yuè dàn ， qì xī yě biàn dé ruò yǒu ruò wú qǐ lái ， liǎng gè lǎo guài wù xiāng xié cáng rù le mì lín lǐ miàn ， zhǐ děng kǒng què xiān zi dào lái 。
混元老祖自然没有异议，一人一妖各自从储物袋中取出一张符篆，往身上一拍，随后身影就越来越淡，气息也变得若有若无起来，两个老怪物相携藏入了密林里面，只等孔雀仙子到来。
The Fairy Phoenix and Miao You Fairy tried several times but failed each time. The array flag’s transposition technique was broken, leaving them nearly cornered.
zài shuō lìng yī biān 。
再说另一边。
Swoosh,
yún fēng fū fù yǔ lì hún gǔ jǐ míng lǎo guài wù dǎ dé rú huǒ rú tú ， rán ér xíng shì què yuè de bù lì ， tā men fū fù bù guò gāng gāng jìn jí 。 ér nà guāng tóu dà hàn què zǎo yǐ shì zhōng qī 。
云峰夫妇与厉魂谷几名老怪物打得如火如荼，然而形势却越的不利，他们夫妇不过刚刚晋级。而那光头大汉却早已是中期。
A blood trail flashed as the Silver Hook of the Palace Lady was deflected back. Cloud Peak's body exposed a weakness in front of him. The Heavenly Ghost Emperor narrowed his eyes and wouldn't miss this opportunity; his bone spear shot forward like a venomous snake.
hái yǒu nà gōng zhuāng nǚ zǐ ， bié kàn duì fāng sì hū shì yuán chū de xiū shì ， kě yī shēn xiū wèi guǐ yì zhì jí ， qiě wēi lì jí dà ， yǐ shén tōng lái shuō 。 jìng bù bǐ nà guāng tóu dà hàn xùn sè 。
还有那宫装女子，别看对方似乎是元初的修士，可一身修为诡异至极，且威力极大，以神通来说。竟不比那光头大汉逊色。
"Wife, be careful!"
zhì yú hào tiān guǐ dì ， fǎn dào shì sān rén zhōng zuì ruò de yí gè ， bù guò xiū wèi shén tōng ， yě yuǎn fēi pǔ tōng de chū qī xiū shì kě bǐ de 。
至于昊天鬼帝，反倒是三人中最弱的一个，不过修为神通，也远非普通的初期修士可比的。
Miao You Fairy was alarmed, flying to block the attack for her husband. However, the bald giant’s sinister laughter echoed as he struck Miao You Fairy with his fang staff.
suǒ miàn duì de dí rén ， yí gè bǐ yí gè 。 jí shǒu ， ér qiě hái rén shù zhàn yōu ， zài jiā shàng shù shí míng níng dān qī guǐ xiū chǔn chǔn yù dòng ， bié shuō shèng lì ， jiù suàn táo zǒu yě bàn diǎn jī huì méi yǒu 。
所面对的敌人，一个比一个。棘手，而且还人数占优，再加上数十名凝丹期鬼修蠢蠢欲动，别说胜利，就算逃走也半点机会没有。
The mid-stage cultivator's power and offensive nature made Miao You Fairy fearful; she couldn't withstand it directly, so she retreated.
yún fēng yǔ miào yōu xiān zi cháng shì le shù cì ， dōu yǐ shī bài gào zhōng ， fú qí de yí xíng huàn wèi shén tōng yě bèi pò chú ， xiàn zài tā men jī hū kuài bèi bī rù jué jìng le 。
云峰与妙幽仙子尝试了数次，都以失败告终，幅旗的移形换位神通也被破除，现在他们几乎快被逼入绝境了。
Wife!
cī lā ，
刺啦，
Dust flew as the fang staff hit the ground, creating a deep pit. Cloud Peak finally had no strength to dodge the attack from the Heavenly Ghost Emperor, only managing to sidestep slightly.
xuè máng yī shǎn ， gōng zhuāng nǚ zǐ de yín gōu suī rán bèi dǎng le huí lái ， yún fēng de shēn qián què lù chū pò zhàn ， hào tiān guǐ dì mī le mī yǎn ， zì rán bú huì jiāng zhè dà hǎo jī huì cuò guò ， nà gǔ máo rú dú shé yì bān ， xùn diàn shè zhì qián 。
血芒一闪，宫装女子的银钩虽然被挡了回来，云峰的身前却露出破绽，昊天鬼帝眯了眯眼，自然不会将这大好机会错过，那骨矛如毒蛇一般，迅电射至前。
His protective essence energy was like paper-thin and pierced through. Although his vital points weren’t hit, his left arm was stabbed through.
“ fū jūn xiǎo xīn ！”
“夫君小心！”
A wine cup-sized hole appeared!
miào yōu xiān zi dà jí ， fēi shēn xiǎng yào tì zhàng fū dǎng xià gōng jī ， guāng tóu dà hàn yīn dú de xiào shēng què chuán le guò lái ， nà láng yá bàng fǎ bǎo yě zá dào le tā tóu dǐng shàng miàn 。
妙幽仙子大急，飞身想要替丈夫挡下攻击，光头大汉阴毒的笑声却传了过来，那狼牙棒法宝也砸到了她头顶上面。
For an Inner Core cultivator, such injuries were trivial, but this fang staff contained essence qi from a dead body, making the wound extremely dangerous.
duì fāng kě shì zhōng qī xiū shì ， cǐ bǎo suī biàn huà dān yī ， dàn shí fēn qiáng diào gōng jī lì ， miào yōu xiān zi yǎn zhōng lù chū wèi jù ， bù gǎn yìng jiē ， zhǐ hǎo piāo shēn tuì le kāi qù 。
对方可是中期修士，此宝虽变化单一，但十分强调攻击力，妙幽仙子眼中露出畏惧，不敢硬接，只好飘身退了开去。
Black gas spread like snakes, rapidly poisoning the area. Cloud Peak was alarmed; wherever it touched, skin dried up instantly—more so than even a corpse’s poison.
qiè ！
妾！
This fang staff was terrifying!
chén tǔ fēi yáng ， láng yá bàng fǎ bǎo zá zài dì shàng ， yí gè dà kēng shēn bú jiàn dǐ ， ér yún fēng zhōng yú yě méi yǒu yú lì duǒ bì guǐ dì de gōng jī 。 zhǐ néng miǎn qiǎng cè le yī xià shēn tǐ 。
尘土飞扬，狼牙棒法宝砸在地上，一个大坑深不见底，而云峰终于也没有余力躲避鬼帝的攻击。只能勉强侧了一下身体。
However, he was an Inner Core cultivator and highly intelligent. He took a deep breath and directed his essence energy to his left arm.
hù tǐ líng guāng yǒu rú zhǐ hú ， bèi dòng chuān ér guò ， tā de yào hài suī rán méi yǒu bèi jī zhòng ， dàn zuǒ bì yě bèi cì chuān le 。
护体灵光有如纸糊，被洞穿而过，他的要害虽然没有被击中，但左臂也被刺穿了。
He managed to suppress the black gas. But with enemies surrounding him, he had no time to expel the ghostly qi. A cruel look appeared on his face as he opened his mouth and shot out a sword light that wrapped around his injured arm before severing it.
chū xiàn le yī jiǔ bēi dà xiǎo de dòng ！
出现了一酒杯大小的洞！
The Heavenly Ghost Emperor’s eyes widened in surprise; despite his superior power, the opponent was ruthless enough not to be underestimated.
běn zhè zhǒng shāng shì duì yuán yīng jí xiū xiān kàn lái shuō bù zhí yī tí ， kě guǐ dì de fǎ bǎo nǎi shì yòng xiū shì hái gǔ shēng shēng jì liàn ér chū ， lǐ miàn suǒ hán de dù qì fēi tóng kě 。
本这种伤势对元婴级修仙看来说不值一提，可鬼帝的法宝乃是用修士骸骨生生祭炼而出，里面所含的度气非同可。
More troublesome than expected.
nà shāng kǒu biǎo miàn ， wú shù de hēi qì yǒu rú dú shé ， fēng kuáng de tí yán kāi lái ， yún fēng dà jīng shī sè ， hēi qì suǒ dào zhī chù ， jī fū zhòu rán gàn kuò ， biàn shì shī dú yě méi yǒu zhè yàng de xiào guǒ 。
那伤口表面，无数的黑气有如毒蛇，疯狂的荑延开来，云峰大惊失色，黑气所到之处，肌肤骤然干括，便是尸毒也没有这样的效果。
But since he was trapped by this heavenly net, even with wings, he couldn’t escape.
zhè fǎ bǎo jiǎn zhí tài kě pà le ！
这法宝简直太可怕了！
With these thoughts, a cruel and evil smile appeared on the Heavenly Ghost Emperor's face. Miao You Fairy frantically attacked, her sword strikes fierce and relentless. The bald giant, despite his superior power, was caught off guard and had to temporarily retreat.
bù guò cǐ rén bì jìng yě shì yuán yīng qī lǎo guài wù ， xīn zhì fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， shēn shēn hū xī 。 hún shēn de fǎ lì xiàng zuǒ bì kuáng yǒng ér qù 。
不过此人毕竟也是元婴期老怪物，心智非同小可，深深呼吸。浑身的法力像左臂狂涌而去。
Miao You Fairy quickly returned to Cloud Peak’s side: "Husband, you
zhè cái jiāng hēi qì yā zhì 。
这才将黑气压制。
"I’m fine; don’t worry." Cloud Peak waved his hand, but Miao You Fairy's face turned strange as she heard her husband’s voice in her mind: "My dear, I'm surrounded. It will be difficult for me to escape safely, but if only one of us tries to flee, there might still be a chance. Soon, I’ll summon Dragon Sister’s soul to distract the three old monsters while you take advantage and run."
bù guò xiàn zài qiáng dí huán shì ， tā kě méi yǒu shí jiān màn màn jiāng yuān hún de qìng qì qū chú ， yǎn zhōng shǎn guò yī sī hěn lì zhī sè ， zhe fēng zhāng kāi kǒu 。 yī yuán jiàn guāng pēn tǔ ér chū ， wéi zhuó shǒu bì yī rào ， jiāng shòu shāng de gē bó xiè xià le 。
不过现在强敌环视，他可没有时间慢慢将冤魂的庆气驱除，眼中闪过一丝狠厉之色，着峰张开口。一缘剑光喷吐而出，围着手臂一绕，将受伤的胳膊卸下了。
"How can this be? We must die together," Miao You Fairy said anxiously.
guǐ dì tóng kǒng wēi suō ， liǎn shàng lüè lù jīng yà zhī sè ， duì fāng de shén tōng zàn qiě bù shuō ， guāng shì zhè fèn hěn là ， jiù jué bù kě xiǎo shì de 。
鬼帝瞳孔微缩，脸上略露惊讶之色，对方的神通暂且不说，光是这份狠辣，就绝不可小视的。
Cloud Peak was genuinely moved; he knew she was pregnant: "If both of us died, what would happen to our tribe? Huanyuan Senior Patriarch will surely annex it. Besides"
bǐ xiǎng xiàng de jí shǒu 。
比想象的棘手。
His face softened as he caressed his wife's cheek: "I know you're carrying our child."
bù guò tā jì rán luò rù zhè tiān luó de wǎng zhōng ， jiù chā chì yě bié xiǎng fēi zǒu 。
不过他既然落入这天罗的网中，就插翅也别想飞走。
"But,"
niàn jí zhì cǐ ， guǐ dì de zuǐ jiǎo wēi wēi shàng qiào ， lù chū cán rěn ér xié è de xiào róng 。, lián xíng shì zhòng yōu xiān wǔ chā huǐ yòu tòng 。 kuáng nù diǎn xià shì ruò fēng tú 。 jiàn jiàn pīn kě 。 guāng tóu dà hàn suī rán xiū wèi yuǎn shèng yú tā ， jìng rán yě bèi nào le gè shǒu máng jiǎo luàn 。 bù dé bù zàn bì fēng máng 。
念及至此，鬼帝的嘴角微微上翘，露出残忍而邪恶的笑容。,联型式重幽仙午叉悔又痛。狂怒点下势若疯涂。剑剑拼可。光头大汉虽然修为远胜于她，竟然也被闹了个手忙脚乱。不得不暂避锋芒。
"Stop talking. For the sake of our people and our child, we must survive." Cloud Peak took a deep breath, pulled out a pill from his chest, and swallowed it.
miào yōu xiān zi máng shēn xíng yī shǎn ， huí dào le zhàng fū de shēn biān ：“ fū jūn ， nǐ
妙幽仙子忙身形一闪，回到了丈夫的身边：“夫君，你
The blood stopped flowing in his wounds, and his essence energy recovered significantly.
“ wèi fū méi shì 。 bù yòng dān xīn 。” yún fēng jiāng shǒu yī bǎi ， miào yōu xiān zi de liǎn sè què biàn dé gǔ guài ， yīn wèi cǐ kè 。 tā de nǎo hǎi zhōng xiǎng qǐ le zhàng fū de chuán yīn ：“ fū rén 。 zhè cì mí wǒ shēn xiàn chóng wéi ， xiǎng yào píng ān nán yú dēng tiān ， bù guò rú guǒ jǐn shì yī rén xiǎng yào táo zǒu de huà ， dào hái shì yǒu jǐ fēn xī wàng de 。 yī huì er wèi fū huì jiāng lóng mèi hún pò jì chū 。 tuō zhù sān gè lǎo guài wù ， mí zé chèn jī táo zǒu 。”
“为夫没事。不用担心。”云峰将手一摆，妙幽仙子的脸色却变得古怪，因为此刻。她的脑海中响起了丈夫的传音：“夫人。这次弥我身陷重围，想要平安难于登天，不过如果仅是一人想要逃走的话，到还是有几分希望的。一会儿为夫会将龙妹魂魄祭出。拖住三个老怪物，弥则趁机逃走。”
This drink-to-stop-blood-bleeding pill was extremely powerful; while it allowed him to recover essence energy quickly, the cost was severe. He might suffer serious injuries or even drop in cultivation level.
“ fū jūn 。 zhè zěn me kě yǐ ， yào sǐ wǒ men sǐ zài yì qǐ
“夫君。这怎么可以，要死我们死在一起
But he didn't care about that now as he retrieved the Dragon Soul Tent from his storage space and gripped the remaining right arm tightly before spitting out a drop of blood.
miào yōu xiān zi mǎn liǎn jiāo jí ， xiū xiān zhě suī guǎ qíng báo yì ， dàn yě bìng fēi jiù méi yǒu zhēn xīn xiāng ài de fū qī ， bǐ rú shuō yāo líng dǎo shàng de jīn lǎo guài wèi le wáng qī ， jiù gǎn huǒ bìng yuán yīng hòu qī de dà xiū shì ， ér yún fēng yǔ miào yōu xiān zi ， yě tóng yàng shì zhēn xīn xiāng ài de dào yì 。
妙幽仙子满脸焦急，修仙者虽寡情薄意，但也并非就没有真心相爱的夫妻，比如说妖灵岛上的金老怪为了亡妻，就敢火并元婴后期的大修士，而云峰与妙幽仙子，也同样是真心相爱的道亿。
Puff,
“ shǎ huà 。 nǐ wǒ rú guǒ dōu sǐ le ， wǒ men de bù luò zěn me bàn 。 yí dìng huì bèi hùn yuán lǎo zéi jiān bìng de ， hé kuàng ” shuō dào cǐ chù ， yún fēng de liǎn shàng lù chū wēn róu zhī sè ， mō le mō ài qī de liǎn jiá ：“ mí yǐ shēn huái liù jiǎ ， dāng wǒ zhēn bù zhī dào ma ？”
“傻话。你我如果都死了，我们的部落怎么办。一定会被混元老贼兼并的，何况”说到此处，云峰的脸上露出温柔之色，摸了摸爱妻的脸颊：“弥已身怀六甲，当我真不知道吗？”
The blood arrow landed on the center of the array flag, instantly absorbed by the strange dragon spider pattern.
“ kě ，”
“可，”
Rumble, an ear-piercing sound echoed. The sky inexplicably darkened as a blood mist rose from the array flag and formed a red cloud that swirled above Cloud Peak's head.
“ bié shuō le 。 bù guǎn shì wèi le zú rén ， hái shì wǒ men de hái zi 。 chēng dōu yí dìng yào huó xià
“别说了。不管是为了族人，还是我们的孩子。称都一定要活下
"Bad luck; he’s summoning Dragon Sister’s soul. We must act now to prevent him from completing his secret technique," the Palace Lady said, her face changing dramatically.
yún fēng shuō dào zhè lǐ 。 shēn shēn xī le kǒu qì ， cóng huái zhōng tāo chū yī lì dān yào sāi rù zuǐ lǐ ， dùn shí ， tā shāng kǒu de xuè zhǐ zhù ， fǎ lì yě huī fù le dà bàn hái duō 。
云峰说到这里。深深吸了口气，从怀中掏出一粒丹药塞入嘴里，顿时，他伤口的血止住，法力也恢复了大半还多。
Pushing Miao You Fairy aside, Cloud Peak’s eyes bulged with extreme anger as he grabbed the array flag in front of him.
zhè yǐn gē zhǐ kě dān jí wéi bà dào ， suī rán kě yǐ ràng fǎ lì duǎn shí jiān nèi xùn huī fù 。 dàn shì hòu fù chū de dài jià què jí wéi kě pà ， qīng zé yuán qì dà shāng ， zhòng zé jìng jiè diào luò ， bù guò rú jīn tā shēng sǐ dōu zhì zhī dù wài le ， hái dān xīn zhè xiē zuò shén me 。
这饮鸽止渴丹极为霸道，虽然可以让法力短时间内迅恢复。但事后付出的代价却极为可怕，轻则元气大伤，重则境界掉落，不过如今他生死都置之度外了，还担心这些做什么。
Strange things happened; black gas emerged from the magical flag and wrapped around his right arm like tentacles.
suí hòu yún fēng jiāng mèi hún zhàng chóng xīn qǔ chū ， cán cún de yòu bì wò jǐn quán tou ， hěn hěn bǎi le zhěng xiōng kǒu ， yī dào jīng xuè tǔ chū 。
随后云峰将妹魂帐重新取出，残存的右臂握紧拳头，狠狠摆了拯胸口，一道精血吐出。
His skin dried up, but veins stood out prominently. The sight was grotesque, while Miao You Fairy's tears flowed.
pū ，
噗，
The senior’s handwriting was clear: although this flag wasn’t a magic treasure, due to the dragon spider being an ancient creature with strong ghostly qi, it could only be controlled by Inner Core cultivators at minimum. Lesser techniques like transposition might work, but even then, only if one were a great cultivator.
xuè jiàn luò zài fú qí zhèng zhōng ， xùn bèi nà gǔ guài de lóng zhū tú àn xī rù 。
血箭落在幅旗正中，迅被那古怪的龙蛛图案吸入。
Otherwise, attempting to control Dragon Sister’s soul would result in severe backlash and a tragic fate.
míng ， yī zhèn lìng rén yá suān de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， tiān kōng jìng mò míng qí miào de yīn chén le xià qù ， yī tuán xuè wù cóng nà fú qí zhī shàng téng shēng ér qǐ ， dī liū liū huà wèi yī piàn hóng sè yīn yún ， zài yún fēng tóu dǐng fān yǒng gè 。 bù tíng 。
鸣，一阵令人牙酸的声音传入耳朵，天空竟莫名其妙的阴沉了下去，一团血雾从那幅旗之上腾升而起，滴溜溜化为一片红色阴云，在云峰头顶翻涌个。不停。
Cloud Peak knew the warning from his senior, but he sacrificed himself to protect Miao You Fairy by feeding her ghostly qi with his own flesh. This temporarily suppressed the backlash, but at what cost?
“ bù hǎo 。 tā yào qū shǐ lóng mèi hún pò ， wǒ men kuài chū shǒu ， jué bù néng ràng tā jiāng mì shù wán chéng le 。” nà gōng zhuāng nǚ zǐ xiù méi yī tiāo ， liǎn sè dà biàn de dào 。
“不好。他要驱使龙妹魂魄，我们快出手，绝不能让他将秘术完成了。”那宫装女子秀眉一挑，脸色大变的道。
Miao You Fairy was heartbroken; she wanted to die alongside him. But as an Inner Core witch, if she did this, it would be a waste of his efforts and a shame in the afterlife.
jiāng qī zǐ tuī kāi yī kǒu ， yún fēng shuāng guó wài tū ， liǎn sè zhēng níng dào le jí chù ， yī bǎ jiāng shēn qián de fú qí wò zài le shǒu zhōng 。
将妻子推开一口，云峰双国外凸，脸色狰狞到了极处，一把将身前的幅旗握在了手中。
She gritted her teeth and transformed into a streak of light, flying towards Cangao Mountain’s direction.
It turned out that was just my overthinking and wrongly blaming you, Brother Fellow. I hope Brother Huanyuan doesn't mind," said the Black Tiger Devil King in a daze as his anger vanished, replaced by an expression of great joy.
Huanyuan Senior Patriarch waved his hand; with his profound wisdom, such a minor matter was naturally not worth worrying about. He swept his sleeves and several differently colored array flags shot out.
The surface inscriptions flickered, but they were quite different from the ones Lin Xuan had seen before, clearly belonging to the Moonshade Clan’s unique witchcraft.
Huanyuan Senior Patriarch moved his hands in a strange and ancient manner, casting several spells. The array flags trembled and then disappeared into the surrounding rocks.
A black protective barrier appeared, with dark magic swirling inside and thunder rumbling. However, the Black Tiger Devil King's expression showed confusion; this array’s effects were too obvious, even for a Fairy Phoenix to be deceived by it. There was no stealth value at all.
But Huanyuan Senior Patriarch had a confident look on his face. He flipped his left hand, and a green talisman appeared in his palm before he flicked his fingers. The talisman burst into flames without wind, exploding with a loud bang to form five green light spheres that sank into the dark magic.
The dark magic dissipated as scenery reappeared. The Black Tiger Devil King released his divine sense, scanning around carefully and then showing shock: "Brother Huanyuan has great power; this array is entirely different from what I’ve seen before. There’s no trace of essence energy. It would be the perfect tool for an ambush, and even with that Fairy Phoenix’s divine awareness, she’d likely be deceived."
"Haha, Fellow Daoist flatters me. This array was passed down by my ancestors; it does have some mysterious properties. However, its power isn’t enough to deal with mid-stage demon races," Huanyuan Senior Patriarch said with a smile.
"It doesn’t matter. As long as we can distract Fairy Phoenix and keep her occupied, the rest is up to us two working together to capture her," the Black Tiger Devil King replied confidently.
The Fairy Phoenix and Miao You Fairy tried several times but failed each time. The array flag’s transposition technique was broken, leaving them nearly cornered.
Swoosh,
A blood trail flashed as the Silver Hook of the Palace Lady was deflected back. Cloud Peak's body exposed a weakness in front of him. The Heavenly Ghost Emperor narrowed his eyes and wouldn't miss this opportunity; his bone spear shot forward like a venomous snake.
"Wife, be careful!"
Miao You Fairy was alarmed, flying to block the attack for her husband. However, the bald giant’s sinister laughter echoed as he struck Miao You Fairy with his fang staff.
The mid-stage cultivator's power and offensive nature made Miao You Fairy fearful; she couldn't withstand it directly, so she retreated.
Wife!
Dust flew as the fang staff hit the ground, creating a deep pit. Cloud Peak finally had no strength to dodge the attack from the Heavenly Ghost Emperor, only managing to sidestep slightly.
His protective essence energy was like paper-thin and pierced through. Although his vital points weren’t hit, his left arm was stabbed through.
A wine cup-sized hole appeared!
For an Inner Core cultivator, such injuries were trivial, but this fang staff contained essence qi from a dead body, making the wound extremely dangerous.
Black gas spread like snakes, rapidly poisoning the area. Cloud Peak was alarmed; wherever it touched, skin dried up instantly—more so than even a corpse’s poison.
This fang staff was terrifying!
However, he was an Inner Core cultivator and highly intelligent. He took a deep breath and directed his essence energy to his left arm.
He managed to suppress the black gas. But with enemies surrounding him, he had no time to expel the ghostly qi. A cruel look appeared on his face as he opened his mouth and shot out a sword light that wrapped around his injured arm before severing it.
The Heavenly Ghost Emperor’s eyes widened in surprise; despite his superior power, the opponent was ruthless enough not to be underestimated.
More troublesome than expected.
But since he was trapped by this heavenly net, even with wings, he couldn’t escape.
With these thoughts, a cruel and evil smile appeared on the Heavenly Ghost Emperor's face. Miao You Fairy frantically attacked, her sword strikes fierce and relentless. The bald giant, despite his superior power, was caught off guard and had to temporarily retreat.
Miao You Fairy quickly returned to Cloud Peak’s side: "Husband, you
"I’m fine; don’t worry." Cloud Peak waved his hand, but Miao You Fairy's face turned strange as she heard her husband’s voice in her mind: "My dear, I'm surrounded. It will be difficult for me to escape safely, but if only one of us tries to flee, there might still be a chance. Soon, I’ll summon Dragon Sister’s soul to distract the three old monsters while you take advantage and run."
"How can this be? We must die together," Miao You Fairy said anxiously.
Cloud Peak was genuinely moved; he knew she was pregnant: "If both of us died, what would happen to our tribe? Huanyuan Senior Patriarch will surely annex it. Besides"
His face softened as he caressed his wife's cheek: "I know you're carrying our child."
"But,"
"Stop talking. For the sake of our people and our child, we must survive." Cloud Peak took a deep breath, pulled out a pill from his chest, and swallowed it.
The blood stopped flowing in his wounds, and his essence energy recovered significantly.
This drink-to-stop-blood-bleeding pill was extremely powerful; while it allowed him to recover essence energy quickly, the cost was severe. He might suffer serious injuries or even drop in cultivation level.
But he didn't care about that now as he retrieved the Dragon Soul Tent from his storage space and gripped the remaining right arm tightly before spitting out a drop of blood.
Puff,
The blood arrow landed on the center of the array flag, instantly absorbed by the strange dragon spider pattern.
Rumble, an ear-piercing sound echoed. The sky inexplicably darkened as a blood mist rose from the array flag and formed a red cloud that swirled above Cloud Peak's head.
"Bad luck; he’s summoning Dragon Sister’s soul. We must act now to prevent him from completing his secret technique," the Palace Lady said, her face changing dramatically.
Pushing Miao You Fairy aside, Cloud Peak’s eyes bulged with extreme anger as he grabbed the array flag in front of him.
Strange things happened; black gas emerged from the magical flag and wrapped around his right arm like tentacles.
His skin dried up, but veins stood out prominently. The sight was grotesque, while Miao You Fairy's tears flowed.
The senior’s handwriting was clear: although this flag wasn’t a magic treasure, due to the dragon spider being an ancient creature with strong ghostly qi, it could only be controlled by Inner Core cultivators at minimum. Lesser techniques like transposition might work, but even then, only if one were a great cultivator.
Otherwise, attempting to control Dragon Sister’s soul would result in severe backlash and a tragic fate.
Cloud Peak knew the warning from his senior, but he sacrificed himself to protect Miao You Fairy by feeding her ghostly qi with his own flesh. This temporarily suppressed the backlash, but at what cost?
Miao You Fairy was heartbroken; she wanted to die alongside him. But as an Inner Core witch, if she did this, it would be a waste of his efforts and a shame in the afterlife.
She gritted her teeth and transformed into a streak of light, flying towards Cangao Mountain’s direction.
