zhè yī cì qǔ tiān zhī qí ， yóu yú shèng tāi lǐ fán yǐ jīng tí qián dé dào le rèn kě 。
这一次取天之奇，由于圣胎李凡已经提前得到了认可。
This time, taking the Heavenly Oddity, since the Holy Fetus Li Fan had already been recognized in advance.
suǒ yǐ mù jiàn yě bìng wèi zǔ lán 。
所以木剑也并未阻拦。
Thus, the wooden sword did not block him. The profound aura contained within it slowly dissipated. A subtle and mysterious波动 emerged on the Holy Fetus Li Fan's body.
mù jiàn suǒ yùn hán de xuán ào qì xī màn màn xiāo shī 。
木剑所蕴含的玄奥气息慢慢消失。
The Xuanhuang Sword Dao was completed at this moment, transferring to the countless rusted swords bowing their heads as he left the Sword Tomb.
yī zhǒng xuán zhī yòu xuán de bō dòng ， zài shèng tāi lǐ fán shēn shàng huǎn huǎn fú xiàn 。
一种玄之又玄的波动，在圣胎李凡身上缓缓浮现。
"Those with Heavenly Oddity can directly enter the Realm of Union."
xuán huáng jiàn dào ， zài zhè yī kè wán chéng le zhuǎn yí 。
玄黄剑道，在这一刻完成了转移。
"The foundation of sword dao, the sword technique, and transforming into a primordial realm. And..."
zài jiàn zhǒng wú shù xiù jiàn wān shēn xiāng sòng zhōng ， shèng tāi lǐ fán huǎn bù lí kāi 。
在剑冢无数锈剑弯身相送中，圣胎李凡缓步离开。
Li Fan, who had already transformed into a divine being, instantly understood the path that the Holy Fetus would take next.
“ shēn jù tiān zhī qí ， kě zhí rù hé dào jìng 。”
“身具天之奇，可直入合道境。”
"The intrinsic transformation of Xuanhuang Sword Dao."
“ jiàn zhī dào jī ， jiàn zhī fǎ ， jiàn huà dòng tiān 。 yǐ jí ……”
“剑之道基，剑之法，剑化洞天。以及……”
"Following this, simply fully integrate Heavenly Oddity with oneself to grasp the power of the laws of heaven and earth, achieving the Realm of Union.
běn zūn yǐ jīng huà shén de lǐ fán ， duì yú jiē xià lái shèng tāi yào zǒu de dào lù ， shùn xī zhī jiān yǐ jīng liǎo ruò zhǐ zhǎng 。
本尊已经化神的李凡，对于接下来圣胎要走的道路，瞬息之间已经了若指掌。
"This is indeed much easier than ordinary new technique cultivators, but as a price..."
“ xuán huáng jiàn dào zì shēn zhī biàn 。”
“玄黄剑道自身之变。”
"...it almost completely cuts off the possibility of reverse reasoning and attaining immortality. Just like Mr. Bai, who defied the principles he governed as Xuanhuang Great Heavenly Lord. Even if one's talent was extraordinary enough to succeed in reversing logic, they would never escape the backlash from heaven."
“ zài zhī hòu ， zhǐ xū jiāng tiān zhī qí yǔ zì shēn chè dǐ róng hé ， jiù xiāng dāng yú tūn shì 、 wán quán zhǎng wò le tiān dì fǎ zé de lì liàng 。 chéng jiù hé dào xiān zūn le 。”
“再之后，只需将天之奇与自身彻底融合，就相当于吞噬、完全掌握了天地法则的力量。成就合道仙尊了。”
"The day of enlightenment is also the day of death."
“ bǐ qǐ xún cháng xīn fǎ xiū shì ， dí què yào róng yì tài duō 。 dàn zuò wéi dài jià ……”
“比起寻常新法修士，的确要容易太多。但作为代价……”
Thoughts swirled through Li Fan’s mind as his realm steadily rose. When he left the Sword Tomb, he had just entered the Foundation Establishment Realm.
“ què jī hū duàn jué le nì lǐ zhèng dào zhǎng shēng de kě néng 。 jiù xiàng bái xiān shēng zuò wéi xuán huáng dà tiān zūn ， què nì fǎn zì jǐ suǒ zhǎng tiān dì zhī lǐ yī yàng 。 jiù suàn jīng cái jué yàn dào néng gòu nì lǐ chéng gōng ， yě jué jì táo bù chū tiān dì de fǎn shì 。”
“却几乎断绝了逆理证道长生的可能。就像白先生作为玄黄大天尊，却逆反自己所掌天地之理一样。就算惊才绝艳到能够逆理成功，也决计逃不出天地的反噬。”
But by the time he exited Tianyou Province, the Holy Fetus Li Fan had already advanced to the Golden Core Realm.
“ zhèng dào zhī rì ， jiù shì yǔn luò zhī shí 。”
“证道之日，就是陨落之时。”
And when he appeared outside the misty barrier concealing the Abyss of Roaring Storms, he had already stepped into the realm of Essence Body.
shèng tāi lǐ fán nǎo hǎi zhōng sī xù fān téng ， ér tā de jìng jiè yě shì bù bù pān shēng 。
圣胎李凡脑海中思绪翻腾，而他的境界也是步步攀升。
Without deliberate absorption and without any hindrance, heaven and earth’s qi surged in, spontaneously entering his body.
dāng tā lí kāi jiàn zhǒng de shí hòu ， hái zhǐ shì gāng rù zhù jī qī 。
当他离开剑冢的时候，还只是刚入筑基期。
It became a steady step towards advancement.
dàn děng tā chū le tiān yōu zhōu ， shèng tāi lǐ fán yǐ jīng jìn shēng dào le jīn dān jìng 。
但等他出了天幽州，圣胎李凡已经晋升到了金丹境。
"This is the benefit of being recognized by the Heavenly Dao."
ér dāng shèng tāi lǐ fán chū xiàn zài yǐn cáng zhe chì zhà shēn yuān de bái wù bì zhàng zhī wài de shí hòu ， tā yǐ jīng kuà rù dào le yuán yīng jìng de háng liè 。
而当圣胎李凡出现在隐藏着叱咤深渊的白雾壁障之外的时候，他已经跨入到了元婴境的行列。
"Only one path: [Sword]. Just imagine if it were all of Xuanhuang’s Heavenly Dao. No wonder Mr. Bai could instantly transform into a divine being and achieve immortality..."
wú xū kè yì xī shōu ， méi yǒu sī háo zǔ ài ， tiān dì líng qì jiù xiōng yǒng ér lái ， zì fā zuān rù shèng tāi lǐ fán tǐ nèi 。
无需刻意吸收，没有丝毫阻碍，天地灵气就汹涌而来，自发钻入圣胎李凡体内。
With Heavenly Oddity in his possession, cultivation no longer required seeking external objects.
huà zuò wěn bù jìn shēng de jiē tī 。
化作稳步晋升的阶梯。
Added to this was the active cooperation of the great forces of heaven and earth, making Li Fan's rate of progress beyond comprehension.
“ zhè jiù shì dé dào tiān dào rèn kě hòu de hǎo chù 。”
“这就是得到天道认可后的好处。”
Sword dao fluctuations spread around him, pushing back the devouring white mist.
“ hái zhǐ shì jǐn jǐn shì 【 jiàn 】 zhī yī dào 。 ruò shì zhěng gè xuán huáng tiān dào ， zhēn shì bù gǎn xiǎng xiàng 。 nán guài dāng chū bái xiān shēng néng gòu yī bù jìn huà shén ， shùn xī zhèng cháng shēng ……”
“还只是仅仅是【剑】之一道。若是整个玄黄天道，真是不敢想象。难怪当初白先生能够一步晋化神，瞬息证长生……”
Li Fan transformed into a sword light, heading straight for the Broken Palm Immortal City.
tiān zhī qí zài shēn ， xiū xíng wú xū zài qiú wài wù 。
天之奇在身，修行无需再求外物。
When he heard faint cries that sounded like the wails of ghosts, he had already transformed to the same level as his main self—both at the divine being realm.
jiā zhī yòu yǒu tiān dì dà shì zhǔ dòng pèi hé ， shèng tāi lǐ fán de xiū xíng sù dù ， yǐ jīng wú fǎ yòng cháng lǐ lái chuǎi cè 。
加之又有天地大势主动配合，圣胎李凡的修行速度，已经无法用常理来揣测。
However, after breaking through to the divine being realm, his understanding of the evolution of his sword dao was still lacking.
jiàn dào bō dòng mí sàn zuǒ yòu ， jiāng shì yuán bái wù bī kāi 。
剑道波动弥散左右，将噬元白雾逼开。
This slowed down his progress significantly.
shèng tāi lǐ fán huà zuò yī dào jiàn guāng ， zhí bēn duàn zhǎng xiān chéng ér qù 。
圣胎李凡化作一道剑光，直奔断掌仙城而去。
"Further refinement in this world. If I were to do it again, it would be even faster."
dāng ěr zhōng yǐn yuē tīng dào wú shù wǎn ruò lì guǐ de āi háo shēng hòu ， shèng tāi lǐ fán yǐ jīng biàn dé gēn běn zūn yī yàng ， tóng shì huà shén jìng jiè le 。
当耳中隐约听到无数宛若厉鬼的哀嚎声后，圣胎李凡已经变得跟本尊一样，同是化神境界了。
"Stop!" A roar interrupted Li Fan's thoughts.
bù guò dāng tū pò dào huà shén zhī hòu ， duì yú zì shēn jiàn dào yǎn biàn de lǐng wù hái yǒu suǒ qiàn quē 。
不过当突破到化神之后，对于自身剑道演变的领悟还有所欠缺。
A figure blocked Li Fan’s path. Wearing green light scales and wielding a heavy spear, he pointed at Li Fan from afar.
zhè yě dǎo zhì xiū wèi jìn zhǎn yī xià zi màn le qǐ lái 。
这也导致修为进展一下子慢了起来。
"Who are you?! Daring to intrude into the Eternal Immortal Barrier?" The heavily armored cultivator spoke with an unfriendly tone.
“ cǐ shì zài zuān yán dǎ mó ， yǐ hòu zhòng lái de huà ， jìn jìng hái yào gèng kuài 。”
“此世再钻研打磨，以后重来的话，进境还要更快。”
Li Fan narrowed his eyes, recognizing that voice.
“ lái zhě zhǐ bù ！” yī dào bào hē shēng ， dǎ duàn le shèng tāi lǐ fán de sī lù 。
“来者止步！”一道暴喝声，打断了圣胎李凡的思路。
114th Era, when he was ordered to construct the Heavenly Xuan Locking Spirit Array in the white mist outside the Eternal Immortal Barrier.
tóng shí yī dào shēn yǐng lán zài le lǐ fán miàn qián 。
同时一道身影拦在了李凡面前。
Later, as the Abyss of Roaring Storms suddenly stirred, his post on the Jiuxi Number had lost contact with the city.
shēn chuān qīng guāng lín jiǎ ， shǒu chí zhòng jǐ 、 yáo zhǐ lǐ fán 。
身穿青光鳞甲，手持重戟、遥指李凡。
Seeing supplies running out, Li Fan reversed his dao heart and returned alone from the post to the city for rescue.
“ shén me rén ？！ gǎn shàn chuǎng yǒng héng xiān lěi ？” zhòng jiǎ xiū shì yǔ qì bù shàn 。
“什么人？！敢擅闯永恒仙垒？”重甲修士语气不善。
Though he encountered some setbacks, including accidentally entering the Chaotic Word Mysterious Domain, he ultimately escaped safely.
lǐ fán zé shì yǎn jīng wēi wēi mī qǐ ， rèn chū le zhè dào shēng yīn 。
李凡则是眼睛微微眯起，认出了这道声音。
He rushed back to Broken Palm Immortal City just before his lifespan expired.
114 shì de shí hòu ， tā fèng mìng zài yǒng héng xiān lěi zhī wài de bái wù zhōng xiū jiàn 【 tiān xuán suǒ líng zhèn 】。
114世的时候，他奉命在永恒仙垒之外的白雾中修建【天玄锁灵阵】。
Originally with decades left, but a "Who dares disturb me?" roar halted him.
hòu lái chì zhà shēn yuān tū rán yì dòng ， tā suǒ zài de jiǎ xū hào jù diǎn gēn xiān chéng shī lián 。
后来叱咤深渊突然异动，他所在的甲戌号据点跟仙城失联。
Li Fan was forced to explain and lost some time.
yǎn kàn bǔ jǐ jí jiāng hào jìn ， lǐ fán nì liàn dào xīn 、 gū shēn yī rén cóng jù diǎn zhōng fǎn huí xiān chéng ， xún qiú jiù yuán 。
眼看补给即将耗尽，李凡逆练道心、孤身一人从据点中返回仙城，寻求救援。
When he finally returned to the city, he was on his last breaths.
suī rán tú zhōng yù dào le xiē xǔ bō zhé ， wù rù le 【 luàn zì mí yù 】 zhōng 。
虽然途中遇到了些许波折，误入了【乱字迷域】中。
...
dàn zuì zhōng yǒu jīng wú xiǎn ， chéng gōng tuō kùn 。
但最终有惊无险，成功脱困。
"Hmph!"
zuì zhōng zài shòu yuán yòng jǐn qián ， jí xiàn gǎn huí liǎo duàn zhǎng xiān chéng 。
最终在寿元用尽前，极限赶回了断掌仙城。
The Holy Fetus Li Fan glanced at the other without explanation, merely pointing his finger as if it were a sword, lightly tapping forward.
yuán běn hái yǒu jǐ shí nián shòu mìng ， bù guò zài zuì hòu guān tóu ， yī dào “ hé fāng xiāo xiǎo ” de bào hē lán zhù le tā 。
原本还有几十年寿命，不过在最后关头，一道“何方宵小”的暴喝拦住了他。
The white mist that had existed since ancient times split apart instantly.
lǐ fán bèi pò jiě shì yuán yóu ， yòu dān gē le yī xiē shí jiān 。
李凡被迫解释缘由，又耽搁了一些时间。
The wails from the Abyss of Roaring Storms were suppressed by the resounding sound of the sword.
zuì zhōng děng tā huí dào xiān chéng zhī zhōng de shí hòu ， yǐ jīng yóu jǐn dēng kū 、 méi yǒu duō zhǎng shí jiān néng huó le 。
最终等他回到仙城之中的时候，已经油尽灯枯、没有多长时间能活了。
A dazzling white sword light illuminated heaven and earth.
……
……
The eternal immortal barrier made of Jiuxi’s palm material and the terrifying abyss filled with煞气...
“ hēng ！”
“哼！”
All were revealed in their true form under Li Fan's sword light.
shèng tāi lǐ fán dàn dàn kàn le duì fāng yī yǎn ， bìng wèi jiě shì 。
圣胎李凡淡淡看了对方一眼，并未解释。
Majestic sword light passed through the figure blocking Li Fan, crossed the Broken Palm Immortal City, and plunged into the Abyss of Roaring Storms!
zhǐ shì yǐ zhǐ wèi jiàn 、 cháo zhe qián fāng qīng qīng yì diǎn 。
只是以指为剑、朝着前方轻轻一点。
The world fell silent.
fǎng fú zì gèn gǔ yǐ lái jiù cún zài de bái wù chà nà zhī jiān bèi fēn kāi 。
仿佛自亘古以来就存在的白雾刹那之间被分开。
As if captivated by this astonishing sword strike, the wails from the abyss did not resurface for a long time.
lái zì chì zhà shēn yuān de āi háo bèi liáo liàng de jiàn míng suǒ yā xià 。
来自叱咤深渊的哀嚎被嘹亮的剑鸣所压下。
Until the white mist slowly coalesced, healing the torn wound, and the abyss once again hid beneath it.
cuǐ càn de bái sè jiàn guāng ， bǎ tiān dì jiān zhào liàng 。
璀璨的白色剑光，把天地间照亮。
The faint cries resumed but were much weaker than before.
yǐ gǔ tiān zūn duàn zhǎng wèi cái liào dǎ zào de yǒng héng xiān lěi ， yǐ jí shā qì chōng tiān de kǒng bù shēn yuān ……
以古天尊断掌为材料打造的永恒仙垒，以及煞气冲天的恐怖深渊……
Perhaps afraid of being heard, they refrained from making too much noise, fearing another sword strike from Li Fan.
cǐ kè dōu zài shèng tāi lǐ fán de jiàn guāng wú suǒ dùn xíng 、 xiān háo bì xiàn 。
此刻都在圣胎李凡的剑光无所遁形、纤毫毕现。
Shaken out of their reverie, the Green Xuan troops in the Eternal Immortal Barrier focused all their gazes on Li Fan's position. They remained silent.
hào dàng jiàn guāng ， chuān guò lán zài lǐ fán shēn qián nà dào shēn yǐng ， kuà guò duàn zhǎng xiān chéng ， hěn hěn cì rù chì zhà shēn yuān zhī zhōng ！
浩荡剑光，穿过拦在李凡身前那道身影，跨过断掌仙城，狠狠刺入叱咤深渊之中！
It was as if even the dense white mist could not conceal that figure resembling a sword cultivator.
tiān dì wèi zhī yī jìng 。
天地为之一静。
No one among them better understood the terror of those demonic sounds than they, who had guarded the abyss day and night.
fǎng fú bèi zhè jīng shì yī jiàn suǒ shè ， shēn yuān zhōng de āi háo zhī shēng ， jìng jiǔ jiǔ méi yǒu fù xiàn 。
仿佛被这惊世一剑所摄，深渊中的哀嚎之声，竟久久没有复现。
But now, myriad demonic sounds were suppressed by a single sword strike.
zhí dào bái wù màn màn jù lǒng ， bèi sī liè de shāng kǒu yù hé ， shēn yuān chóng xīn yǐn yú bái wù zhī xià 。
直到白雾慢慢聚拢，被撕裂的伤口愈合，深渊重新隐于白雾之下。
What kind of cultivation did this represent?
nà ní nán cǎn háo zhī shēng ， fāng cái lù lù xù xù de chóng xīn chuán chū 。
那呢喃惨嚎之声，方才陆陆续续的重新传出。
The Green Xuan troops were dazed, their minds blank.
dàn gēn xiān qián de guī mó xiāng bǐ ， yě xiāng qù shèn yuǎn 。
但跟先前的规模相比，也相去甚远。
Li Fan crossed his arms behind his back, quietly watching ahead.
huò shì pà gāo shēng ， zài dù yǐn lái lǐ fán yī jiàn 。
或是怕高声，再度引来李凡一剑。
The heavily armored Qilin warrior before him had already turned to stone.
cóng zhèn jīng zhōng huí guò shén lái ， yǒng héng xiān lěi zhōng de qīng xuán jūn ， shì xiàn quán dōu jù jiāo zài le lǐ fán suǒ zài de wèi zhì 。
从震惊中回过神来，永恒仙垒中的青玄军，视线全都聚焦在了李凡所在的位置。
Facing Li Fan's sword, although the sword light did not harm him, it deeply etched into his mind.
jǐn jiē yā què wú shēng 。
尽皆鸦雀无声。
From now on, he would only accept this sword light and nothing else.
fǎng fú jiù suàn shì nóng nóng de bái wù ， yě wú fǎ yǎn yìng nà wǎn ruò jiàn xiān de shēn yǐng 。
仿佛就算是浓浓的白雾，也无法掩映那宛若剑仙的身影。
He appeared dazed, showing no reaction to the outside world.
méi yǒu shuí bǐ tā men zhè xiē rì yè zhèn shǒu zài shēn yuān zhī wài de qīng xuán jūn gèng míng bái nà xiē mó yīn de kě bù 。
没有谁比他们这些日夜镇守在深渊之外的青玄军更明白那些魔音的可怖。
But if he could comprehend and absorb Li Fan’s sword strike, turning it into his own understanding, for an Essence Body cultivator like him, it would be a great fortune.
dàn cǐ kè ， wàn qiān mó yīn ， jǐn bèi yī jiàn zhèn yā 。
但此刻，万千魔音，尽被一剑镇压。
Even without resources to advance, relying solely on this sword, he could kill enemies of higher rank.
zhè jiū jìng shì hé děng de xiū wèi ？
这究竟是何等的修为？
For today's Li Fan, those who had offended him in the past did not need full retribution.
qīng xuán jūn men shén chí mù xuàn ， dà nǎo yí piàn kòng bái 。
青玄军们神驰目眩，大脑一片空白。
If they met again by chance, a lesson was enough.
shèng tāi lǐ fán bēi fù shuāng shǒu ， jìng jìng kàn zhe qián fāng 。
圣胎李凡背负双手，静静看着前方。
Li Fan’s strike primarily served as a show of strength and forced out Lord Shaojun of Green Xuan.
tā miàn qián de qīng lín zhòng jiǎ xiū shì ， zǎo yǐ jīng biàn dé shí sù yì bān 。
他面前的青麟重甲修士，早已经变得石塑一般。
After all, showing his strength first would better facilitate future discussions.
zhí miàn lǐ fán yī jiàn ， suī rán jiàn guāng méi yǒu shāng dào tā ， dàn què yǐ jīng shēn shēn juān rù tā de nǎo hǎi zhī zhōng 。
直面李凡一剑，虽然剑光没有伤到他，但却已经深深镌入他的脑海之中。
Sure enough, none of the Green Xuan troops dared to approach Li Fan floating in mid-air amidst the white mist.
cóng jīn wǎng hòu ， chú le zhè dào jiàn guāng ， tā jiāng zài róng bù xià tā wù 。
从今往后，除了这道剑光，他将再容不下他物。
Moments later, the white mist rippled.
xíng ruò chī dāi ， duì wài jiè bú huì chǎn shēng rèn hé fǎn yìng 。
形若痴呆，对外界不会产生任何反应。
A figure like ripples on water appeared before Li Fan.
dàn fǎn guò lái ， ruò shì tā néng lǐng wù lǐ fán zhè yī jiàn ， bìng jiāng qí xī shōu zhuǎn huà wèi zì shēn de lǐ jiě 。
但反过来，若是他能领悟李凡这一剑，并将其吸收转化为自身的理解。
"Friend cultivator! I have guarded the Abyss of Roaring Storms for many years. I never imagined this world would produce someone like you!"
zhè yī jiàn duì yuán yīng jìng jiè de tā ér yán yě shì yī cháng tiān dà de zào huà 。
这一剑对元婴境界的他而言也是一场天大的造化。
Shaojun stared at Li Fan: "Friend cultivator, what brings you here?"
jí biàn méi yǒu zī yuán jìn shēng ， dān píng cǐ jiàn yě néng yuè jiē shā dí 。
即便没有资源晋升，单凭此剑也能越阶杀敌。
Li Fan pointed to the abyss below and said with a smile, "The demonic sounds are annoying. I wish to wield my sword into the abyss and forever eliminate them."
duì yú jīn shí jīn rì de lǐ fán ér yán ， guò wǎng nà xiē céng jīng dé zuì guò tā de rén ， yě méi yǒu bì yào zuò dào yīng bào jǐn bào 。
对于今时今日的李凡而言，过往那些曾经得罪过他的人，也没有必要做到应报尽报。
"Would Lord Shaojun be willing to accompany me?"
ruò shì bù qiǎo zài dù yù jiàn ， gěi gè jiào xùn jí kě 。
若是不巧再度遇见，给个教训即可。
Li Fan's gaze was sincere, showing great sincerity.
shèng tāi lǐ fán zhè yī jiàn ， gèng zhǔ yào de shì wēi ， bī chū qīng xuán jūn zhī zhǔ shāng shǎo jūn 。
圣胎李凡这一剑，更主要的示威，逼出青玄军之主商少君。
(End of Chapter)
This time, taking the Heavenly Oddity, since the Holy Fetus Li Fan had already been recognized in advance.

Thoughts swirled through Li Fan’s mind as his realm steadily rose. When he left the Sword Tomb, he had just entered the Foundation Establishment Realm.
But by the time he exited Tianyou Province, the Holy Fetus Li Fan had already advanced to the Golden Core Realm.

But if he could comprehend and absorb Li Fan’s sword strike, turning it into his own understanding, for an Essence Body cultivator like him, it would be a great fortune.
Even without resources to advance, relying solely on this sword, he could kill enemies of higher rank.
For today's Li Fan, those who had offended him in the past did not need full retribution.
If they met again by chance, a lesson was enough.
Li Fan’s strike primarily served as a show of strength and forced out Lord Shaojun of Green Xuan.
After all, showing his strength first would better facilitate future discussions.
Sure enough, none of the Green Xuan troops dared to approach Li Fan floating in mid-air amidst the white mist.
Moments later, the white mist rippled.
A figure like ripples on water appeared before Li Fan.
"Friend cultivator! I have guarded the Abyss of Roaring Storms for many years. I never imagined this world would produce someone like you!"
Shaojun stared at Li Fan: "Friend cultivator, what brings you here?"
Li Fan pointed to the abyss below and said with a smile, "The demonic sounds are annoying. I wish to wield my sword into the abyss and forever eliminate them."
"Would Lord Shaojun be willing to accompany me?"
Li Fan's gaze was sincere, showing great sincerity.
