míng yuè gōng zhōng ， zhà féng jù biàn de zhòng rén liǎn sè biàn dé yǒu xiē cāng bái 。
明月宫中，乍逢巨变的众人脸色变得有些苍白。
In the Moon Palace, everyone's faces turned pale as they suddenly faced an unexpected change.
zài chá jué dào bú duì de chà nà ， tā men dōu àn zhào lǐ fán de fēn fù ， dì yī shí jiān jiù zhǔn bèi qǐ dòng shēn shàng de suí jī chuán sòng xiàng liàn 。
在察觉到不对的刹那，他们都按照李凡的吩咐，第一时间就准备启动身上的随机传送项链。
The moment they sensed something amiss, they immediately followed Li Fan’s instructions and activated their random teleportation necklaces to prepare for escape.
rán ér ， tā men què hài rán de fā xiàn ， zhè ge lài yǐ qiú shēng de yī zhàng ， cǐ shí què shī qù le zuò yòng 。
然而，他们却骇然的发现，这个赖以求生的依仗，此时却失去了作用。
However, to their shock, this life-saving reliance had lost its effect at that very moment.
ér děng dào zhěng zuò míng yuè hú rú tóng wán jù yì bān ， bèi qiān yǐn zhe fēi xiàng tiān kōng 。
而等到整座明月湖如同玩具一般，被牵引着飞向天空。
As the entire Moon Lake was lifted into the sky like a toy, Su Xiaomei and Xiao Heng's faces turned even more pale.
sū xiǎo mèi hé xiāo héng tā men gèng shì miàn sè nán kàn wú bǐ 。
苏小妹和萧恒他们更是面色难看无比。
"This kind of power... it’s a Daoist Sage who has united with the Dao!"
“ zhè zhǒng wēi shì ， shì hé dào xiān zūn ！”
“这种威势，是合道仙尊！”
Their hearts filled with fear and confusion.
dùn shí tā men xīn zhōng chōng mǎn le jīng jù hé bù jiě 。
顿时他们心中充满了惊惧和不解。
Wasn't it just about earning some contribution points?
zhì yú ma ， bù jiù shì zhuàn le yì diǎn diǎn gòng xiàn dù ér yǐ 。
至于嘛，不就是赚了一点点贡献度而已。
Even a small Moon Palace couldn’t withstand an Incarnation Realm cultivator, so why would a Daoist Sage personally come out to deal with them?
xiǎo xiǎo de míng yuè gōng ， huà shén xiū shì dōu dǐ dǎng bú zhù ， hé zhì yú hé dào xiān zūn qīn zì chū mǎ ？
小小的明月宫，化神修士都抵挡不住，何至于合道仙尊亲自出马？
Despite their many emotions, before the combined power of the Dao, they were like ants, powerless.
rán ér ， jí biàn tā men yǒu zài duō de qíng xù 。
然而，即便他们有再多的情绪。
Watching the Moon Palace gradually move away from the ground, they felt trapped like turtles in a pot, unable to escape.
hé dào miàn qián ， yě zhǐ néng rú tóng lóu yǐ yì bān ， háo wú dǐ kàng zhī lì 。
合道面前，也只能如同蝼蚁一般，毫无抵抗之力。
"Little Sister, this is what you call great fortune!" Yin Yueting's face was terrifyingly pale as she stared at her sister, incredulous.
yǎn zhēng zhēng de kàn zhe míng yuè gōng lí dì miàn yuè lái yuè yuǎn 。
眼睁睁的看着明月宫离地面越来越远。
Yin Yuzhen looked lost and helpless.
zì jǐ zhòng rén gèng shì rú tóng wèng zhōng zhī biē yì bān ， wú chǔ kě táo 。
自己众人更是如同瓮中之鳖一般，无处可逃。
Then, it seemed she remembered something. "Don't worry, Senior will definitely intervene! It will turn misfortune into..."
“ xiǎo mèi ， zhè jiù shì nǐ shuō de dà jí ma ！” yīn yuè tíng liǎn sè bái de kě pà ， zhēng zhēng dì kàn zhe zì jǐ mèi mèi ， nán yǐ zhì xìn 。
“小妹，这就是你说的大吉嘛！”殷玥婷脸色白的可怕，怔怔地看着自己妹妹，难以置信。
Before she could finish, a loud noise came from outside the Moon Palace.
yīn yǔ zhēn yī liǎn máng rán ， bù zhī suǒ cuò 。
殷雨珍一脸茫然，不知所措。
Looking over, they saw a giant mushroom cloud rising from the center of the palace, spreading rapidly to cover the entire Moon Lake.
jǐn jiē zhe ， tā fǎng fú xiǎng qǐ le shén me ， mǎ shàng shuō dào ：“ fàng xīn ， qián bèi kěn dìng chū shǒu de ！ yí dìng huì féng xiōng huà ……”
紧接着，她仿佛想起了什么，马上说道：“放心，前辈肯定出手的！一定会逢凶化……”
High above, Li Fan’s face showed pain as he watched.
hái méi děng tā shuō wán ， míng yuè gōng wài biàn chuán lái le yī zhèn jù xiǎng 。
还没等她说完，明月宫外便传来了一阵巨响。
He had only intended for the [Soul-Sucking Shock Array] to cover the Moon Palace's area, hoping to buy some time when facing a formidable enemy.
zhòng rén wàng qù ， zhǐ jiàn yī duǒ jù dà de mó gū yún ， yǐ míng yuè gōng wèi zhōng xīn ， shēng téng ér qǐ 。
众人望去，只见一朵巨大的蘑菇云，以明月宫为中心，升腾而起。
He never expected this unknown Daoist Sage to not attack directly but instead capture the entire Moon Lake.
bái yún bù duàn kuò sàn péng zhàng ， zhǎ yǎn jiān jiù lǒng zhào le míng yuè hú 。
白云不断扩散膨胀，眨眼间就笼罩了明月湖。
It seemed like they were being taken somewhere.
gāo tiān zhī shàng ， bào zhà de shǐ zuò yǒng zhě lǐ fán què shì yī liǎn ròu tòng 。
高天之上，爆炸的始作俑者李凡却是一脸肉痛。
Li Fan could only expand the self-destruct scale of the [Soul-Sucking Shock Array] at great expense.
yuán běn jì huà de 【 shì yuán jīng shén zhèn 】， zhǐ shì fù gài le míng yuè gōng de fàn wéi 。
原本计划的【噬元惊神阵】，只是覆盖了明月宫的范围。
"Don't worry, as long as we can escape this time, there's still a chance for profit."
lì qiú qiáng dí jiàng lín shí ， néng gòu yán huǎn piàn kè 。
力求强敌降临时，能够延缓片刻。
Deciding to act, Li Fan carefully took out a black nail from his pocket and aimed it at the silver thread in the sky. He threw it with force.
wàn wàn méi xiǎng dào ， zhè wèi bù zhī míng de hé dào qiáng zhě ， jū rán méi yǒu zhí jiē fā dòng gōng jī 。
万万没想到，这位不知名的合道强者，居然没有直接发动攻击。
The instant the Soul-Sucking White Mist exploded, the silver thread seemed to instinctively contract.
ér shì jiāng zhěng zuò míng yuè hú dōu gěi yī wǎng dǎ jìn le 。
而是将整座明月湖都给一网打尽了。
But immediately after, it ignored the white mist and tightened its grip on the Moon Lake even more.
sì hū yào jiāng tā men dài dào nǎ lǐ qù 。
似乎要将他们带到哪里去。
In the sky, a voice echoed like thunder.
lǐ fán yě zhǐ néng huā fèi le shù bèi de dài jià ， kuò dà le 【 shì yuán jīng shén zhèn 】 de zì bào guī mó 。
李凡也只能花费了数倍的代价，扩大了【噬元惊神阵】的自爆规模。
"Soul-Sucking White Mist? Hmph. You Moon Palace are the worst of all evils, disrupting my plans. I will risk losing some lifespan to capture you."
“ méi shì ， zhǐ yào cǐ fān néng táo chū qù ， hái shì yǒu de zhuàn de 。”
“没事，只要此番能逃出去，还是有的赚的。”
"If I don't properly punish you, it would be hard to erase this hatred from my heart!"
jì rán xuǎn zé dòng shǒu ， lǐ fán jiù bù zài yóu yù 。
既然选择动手，李凡就不再犹豫。
Before he could finish speaking, a black light pierced through the silver thread.
xiǎo xīn yì yì de cóng huái zhōng qǔ chū yī méi hēi sè de jiān dīng ， duì zhǔn tiān kōng zhōng de yín sè sī xiàn ， měng dì rēng le guò qù 。
小心翼翼的从怀中取出一枚黑色的尖钉，对准天空中的银色丝线，猛地扔了过去。
"Crack Boundary Nail? Interesting."
shì yuán bái wù bào zhà kāi lái de shùn jiān ， yín sè xì xiàn fǎng fú pèng dào le tiān dí yì bān ， xià yì shí de shōu suō le yī xià 。
噬元白雾爆炸开来的瞬间，银色细线仿佛碰到了天敌一般，下意识的收缩了一下。
The silver thread dimmed slightly.
dàn jǐn jiē zhe ， tā què wú shì le chù pèng dào zì jǐ de bái wù ， fǎn ér jiāng míng yuè hú chán de gèng jǐn le 。
但紧接着，它却无视了触碰到自己的白雾，反而将明月湖缠的更紧了。
Then another black light shot up.
tiān kōng zhōng ， yǐn yǐn yǒu léi tíng bān de shēng yīn chuán lái 。
天空中，隐隐有雷霆般的声音传来。
"Let's go!" Li Fan’s voice rang out.
“ shì yuán bái wù ？ hēng ， nǐ míng yuè gōng wèi zhū è zhī shǒu ， huài wǒ dà jì 。 wǒ pīn zhe zhé sǔn xiē xǔ shòu yuán ， yě yào jiāng nǐ men ná xià 。”
“噬元白雾？哼，你明月宫为诸恶之首，坏我大计。我拼着折损些许寿元，也要将你们拿下。”
Without needing any reminder, as soon as they sensed their random teleportation necklaces were usable again, Su Xiaomei and others activated the teleportation array.
“ bù hǎo hǎo jiāng nǐ men páo zhì yī fān ， shí zài nán yǐ xiāo wǒ xīn tóu zhī hèn ！”
“不好好将你们炮制一番，实在难以消我心头之恨！”
Flashes of light appeared one after another, and everyone from the Moon Palace disappeared without a trace.
huà yīn wèi luò ， biàn jiàn yī dào hēi máng zhā zài le yín sè xì xiàn shàng 。
话音未落，便见一道黑芒扎在了银色细线上。
Explosions continued to sound below.
“ liè jiè dīng ？ yǒu yì si 。”
“裂界钉？有意思。”
The Moon Palace was quickly reduced to ruins.
yín sè xì xiàn guāng máng wēi àn 。
银色细线光芒微暗。
Above the ruins, a black shadow slowly emerged.
suí hòu yòu shì yī dào hēi máng chōng tiān ér qǐ 。
随后又是一道黑芒冲天而起。
His face showed no signs of anger but rather a playful expression as if he were teasing his prey.
“ zǒu ！” lǐ fán de shēng yīn shì shí xiǎng qǐ 。
“走！”李凡的声音适时响起。
"Trying to escape? Where can you go?"
yòng bù zhe lǐ fán tí xǐng ， zài hēi sè liè jiè dīng chū xiàn de chà nà ， chá jué dào suí jī chuán sòng xiàng liàn chóng xīn néng gòu shǐ yòng de sū xiǎo mèi děng rén ， dōu zài dì yī shí jiān kāi qǐ le chuán sòng zhèn 。
用不着李凡提醒，在黑色裂界钉出现的刹那，察觉到随机传送项链重新能够使用的苏小妹等人，都在第一时间开启了传送阵。
The black-clothed cultivator waved hisduster (whip), and several fine threads suddenly appeared in mid-air, extending towards different directions from this point.
guāng máng jiē lián shǎn guò ， míng yuè gōng zhòng rén jiē lián xiāo shī wú zōng 。
光芒接连闪过，明月宫众人接连消失无踪。
"A small Foundation Establishment late-stage cultivator, truly reckless. Let's start with you."
bù duàn de bào zhà shēng zì xià fāng chuán lái 。
不断的爆炸声自下方传来。
He extended his right hand, pinched a silver thread between his fingers, and slowly pulled.
míng yuè gōng zhuǎn shùn jiān jiù biàn wèi le yī piàn fèi xū 。
明月宫转瞬间就变为了一片废墟。
Where the silver line vanished, space instantly fragmented and blurred.
fèi xū shàng fāng ， yī dào hēi sè xū yǐng huǎn huǎn chū xiàn 。
废墟上方，一道黑色虚影缓缓出现。
Li Fan’s shadow slowly appeared as he looked up at the sky in shock, seemingly frozen in thought.
zhǐ jiàn tā de liǎn shàng dǎo shì méi yǒu sī háo qì jí de shén sè ， fǎn ér yǒu zhǒng māo zhuō nòng lǎo shǔ shí de dòu nòng shén qíng 。
只见他的脸上倒是没有丝毫气急的神色，反而有种猫捉弄老鼠时的逗弄神情。
His body was gradually being pulled back to the black-clothed cultivator's side.
“ táo ？ yòu néng táo dào nǎ lǐ qù ne ？”
“逃？又能逃到哪里去呢？”
Just when Li Fan seemed about to be completely captured, the black-clothed cultivator suddenly paused.
hēi yī xiū shì qīng huī fú chén ， qián fāng kōng qì zhōng ， hū de píng kōng chū xiàn le jǐ dào xì xiàn 。
黑衣修士轻挥拂尘，前方空气中，忽的凭空出现了几道细线。
The playful expression on his face vanished, and a serious look appeared as he stared at the ground below.
yǐ cǐ chù wèi qǐ diǎn ， fēn bié shēn xiàng bù tóng de fāng xiàng 。
以此处为起点，分别伸向不同的方向。
The large amount of Soul-Sucking White Mist that had been triggered did not return to the white mist barriers separating different regions but instead fell to the ground.
“ xiǎo xiǎo de zhù jī hòu qī ， zhēn shì bù zhī sǐ huó 。 jiù xiān zhuā nǐ hǎo le 。”
“小小的筑基后期，真是不知死活。就先抓你好了。”
It seeped into the earth like water, quickly being absorbed by the land.
hēi yī xiū shì shēn chū yòu shǒu ， shuāng zhǐ jiā zhù qí zhōng yī dào yín sī ， huǎn huǎn yòng lì 。
黑衣修士伸出右手，双指夹住其中一道银丝，缓缓用力。
In just moments, much of the Soul-Sucking White Mist was devoured by the earth.
yín xiàn xiāo shī zhī chù ， kōng jiān shà shí biàn dé suì liè 、 mó hú qǐ lái 。
银线消失之处，空间霎时变得碎裂、模糊起来。
This unusual scene made the black-clothed cultivator, who had lived for thousands of years, furrow his brow in concern.
lǐ fán de xū yǐng màn màn fú xiàn 。
李凡的虚影慢慢浮现。
"What is this..."
tā cǐ shí zhèng tái zhe tóu ， sì hū zài kàn xiàng tiān kōng 。
他此时正抬着头，似乎在看向天空。
Anxiety surged within him as he used his fingers to rapidly calculate. Clearly, this strange occurrence was difficult for the black-clothed cultivator to figure out.
jīng è de biǎo qíng níng gù zài liǎn shàng ， fǎng fú lián sī xiǎng zài cǐ kè yě bèi dòng jié 。
惊愕的表情凝固在脸上，仿佛连思想在此刻也被冻结。
His aura fluctuated wildly, and wrinkles appeared on his face. His hair began to turn white, and blood trickled from his eyes.
shēn tǐ suí zhe zhōu wéi de chǎng jǐng ， zhèng zài zhú bù bèi chóng xīn lā huí dào hēi yī xiū shì shēn biān 。
身体随着周围的场景，正在逐步被重新拉回到黑衣修士身边。
After a long while, the black-clothed cultivator spat out some blood.
yǎn kàn lǐ fán jí jiāng chè dǐ bèi zhuō zhù ， hēi yī xiū shì de dòng zuò què shì hū de yī zhì 。
眼看李凡即将彻底被捉住，黑衣修士的动作却是忽的一滞。
He then shouted in shock: "Soul-Sucking Return-to-Life Array?"
tā liǎn shàng de xì xuè zhī sè xiāo shī wú zōng ， ér shì miàn sè jiàn jiàn biàn dé yán sù qǐ lái ， dīng zhe xià fāng de dì miàn 。
他脸上的戏谑之色消失无踪，而是面色渐渐变得严肃起来，盯着下方的地面。
"Old Blue Feather, you still want to achieve immortality after death!?"
gāng gāng ， nà bèi yǐn bào de dà liàng shì yuán bái wù ， bìng méi yǒu xiàng yīng dāng de nà yàng ， chóng xīn huí guī dào nà xiē fēn gē gè gè zhōu de 【 bái wù bì zhàng 】 zhī shàng 。
刚刚，那被引爆的大量噬元白雾，并没有像应当的那样，重新回归到那些分割各个州的【白雾壁障】之上。
A shiver of fear rose from deep within him as he instinctively wanted to flee.
ér shì piāo luò zhì dì miàn 。
而是飘落至地面。
But looking towards the Source Dao Heaven City, he realized why there had been continuous killings in the Source Dao Region for years.
suí hòu rú tóng liú shuǐ yì bān ， bù duàn de cháo zhe dì xià shèn tòu 。
随后如同流水一般，不断的朝着地下渗透。
His plan to use the Blue Feather’s legacy was surprisingly successful, even involving him.
zhǐ piàn kè de gōng fu ， dà liàng de shì yuán bái wù jiù zhè me bèi dà dì gěi tūn shì le 。
只片刻的功夫，大量的噬元白雾就这么被大地给吞噬了。
"Too much arrogance! Too much arrogance!"
zhè fǎn cháng de chǎng jǐng ， ràng yǐ jīng cún huó le shù qiān zài de hēi yī xiū shì ， yě bù jīn zhòu qǐ le méi tóu 。
这反常的场景，让已经存活了数千载的黑衣修士，也不禁皱起了眉头。
The black-clothed cultivator gritted his teeth: "I won't let you succeed!"
“ zhè shì ……”
“这是……”
He no longer cared about the small group of people from the Moon Palace and rushed towards the Source Dao Heaven City.
xīn zhōng dǒu rán yǒng qǐ yī zhèn bù ān ， tā zuǒ shǒu qiā zhǐ lián suàn ， miàn sè bù duàn biàn huàn 。
心中陡然涌起一阵不安，他左手掐指连算，面色不断变幻。
...
xiǎn rán zhè guǐ yì zhī shì ， hēi yī xiū shì tuī suàn qǐ lái yě shì jí wéi chī lì 。
显然这诡异之事，黑衣修士推算起来也是极为吃力。
"Y-"
shēn shàng de qì xī qǐ fú bù dìng ， liǎn shàng màn màn fú xiàn xì xì de zhòu wén 。
身上的气息起伏不定，脸上慢慢浮现细细的皱纹。
Li Fan’s frozen thoughts gradually returned. He almost said “truly” but stopped as the pulling force from the other side had disappeared, and he was now safe.
tóu fà kāi shǐ chū xiàn yī lǚ lǚ bān bái ， shuāng yǎn zhōng gèng shì yǒu xuè shuǐ liú chū 。
头发开始出现一缕缕斑白，双眼中更是有血水流出。
"This is a Daoist Sage..."
bàn shǎng zhī hòu ， hēi yī xiū shì měng dì tǔ chū yī kǒu xiān xuè 。
半晌之后，黑衣修士猛地吐出一口鲜血。
Li Fan's face darkened. All his preparations seemed like jokes in front of such overwhelming strength.
suí hòu shī shēng dà jiào dào ：“ shì yuán fǎn shēng dà zhèn ？”
随后失声大叫道：“噬元返生大阵？”
That moment was undoubtedly the most dangerous for Li Fan since his arrival.
“ lán yǔ lǎo ér nǐ sǐ hòu hái xiǎng yào zhèng dào zhǎng shēng ！？”
“蓝羽老儿你死后还想要证道长生！？”
He could sense what happened around him but was frozen as if his soul was trapped, unable to react or think effectively.
yī gǔ zhàn lì de kǒng jù gǎn cóng líng hún shēn chù yǒng qǐ ， hēi yī xiū shì xià yì shí de chǎn shēng le táo pǎo de xiǎng fǎ 。
一股战栗的恐惧感从灵魂深处涌起，黑衣修士下意识的产生了逃跑的想法。
If not for that black-clothed cultivator suddenly fleeing, Li Fan might have truly met his end.
dàn jǐn jiē zhe ， tā cháo zhe yuán dào tiān chéng de fāng xiàng wàng qù 。
但紧接着，他朝着源道天城的方向望去。
"Only prompting over 500 Foundation Establishment cultivators to appear early, and it directly brought in a cultivator of this level..."
“ nán guài zhè xiē nián ， yí xiàng píng hé de yuán dào zhōu shā lù bù xiū ， sǐ diào de xiū shì bù jì qí shù ……”
“难怪这些年，一向平和的源道州杀戮不休，死掉的修士不计其数……”
"No, there were others captured with the Moon Palace."
“ wǒ nà lán yǔ yí bǎo jì huà ， yě chū qí de shùn lì 。 jìng rán shì jiāng wǒ yě suàn jì zài nèi 。”
“我那蓝羽遗宝计划，也出奇的顺利。竟然是将我也算计在内。”
"There must be many following my method."
“ qī rén tài shèn ， qī rén tài shèn ！”
“欺人太甚，欺人太甚！”
"So, is it that too many Foundation Establishment cultivators appeared all at once?"
In the Moon Palace, everyone's faces turned pale as they suddenly faced an unexpected change.
The moment they sensed something amiss, they immediately followed Li Fan’s instructions and activated their random teleportation necklaces to prepare for escape.
However, to their shock, this life-saving reliance had lost its effect at that very moment.

"If I don't properly punish you, it would be hard to erase this hatred from my heart!"
Before he could finish speaking, a black light pierced through the silver thread.
"Crack Boundary Nail? Interesting."
The silver thread dimmed slightly.
Then another black light shot up.
"Let's go!" Li Fan’s voice rang out.
Without needing any reminder, as soon as they sensed their random teleportation necklaces were usable again, Su Xiaomei and others activated the teleportation array.
