zhè míng nián jì qīng qīng de wèi shù yuàn xiū shì kàn shàng qù mǎn liǎn zhèng qì ， bù céng xiǎng dào ， jū rán huì shì wǔ lǎo huì de jiàn dié 。
这名年纪轻轻的卫戍院修士看上去满脸正气，不曾想到，居然会是五老会的间谍。
This young cultivator from the Garrison Academy had a stern expression. No one would have guessed that he was actually an agent of the Five Elders Association.
ér tā běn rén zhī qián shèn zhì hái cān yù guò duì wǔ lǎo huì jiàn dié de zhuā bǔ ……
而他本人之前甚至还参与过对五老会间谍的抓捕……
Moreover, he had even been involved in capturing their own agents before...
gèng jiā xiǎn de yǒu xiē huāng miù 。
更加显得有些荒谬。
That made it all the more absurd.
tā qīng piāo piāo de liú xià zhè jù huà 、 yǐ jí yī méi 【 kōng míng shí mǔ 】 zhī hòu ， biàn hěn kuài lí qù 。 méi yǒu yǐn qǐ rèn hé rén de zhù yì 。
他轻飘飘的留下这句话、以及一枚【空明石母】之后，便很快离去。没有引起任何人的注意。
After saying those words and leaving behind a [Clear Bright Mother Stone], he quickly left without drawing any attention.
xǔ bái yě shì bù dòng shēng sè ， xùn sù jiāng zhuāng de mǎn mǎn dāng dāng de shí mǔ shōu qǐ 。
许白也是不动声色，迅速将装的满满当当的石母收起。
Xu Bai remained calm as well, swiftly putting away the fully loaded mother stone.
chá kàn yī fān hòu ， qí zhōng de wù zī zhǒng lèi 、 shù liàng guǒ rán yǔ tā yāo qiú de fēn háo bù chā 。
查看一番后，其中的物资种类、数量果然与他要求的分毫不差。
Upon checking, the types and quantities of supplies indeed matched his requirements exactly.
“ zài zhè fāng miàn ， wǔ lǎo huì dǎo shì yǒu jǐ fēn kě qǔ zhī chù 。 zuì qǐ mǎ ， bǐ wàn xiān méng kào pǔ bù shǎo 。” xǔ bái àn zì sī cǔn dào 。
“在这方面，五老会倒是有几分可取之处。最起码，比万仙盟靠谱不少。”许白暗自思忖道。
"Considering what we've seen from the Five Elders Association, they do have some redeeming qualities. At least, they are more reliable than the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance," Xu Bai thought to himself.
suī rán yī fān bō zhé ， zuì zhōng qǔ dé le suǒ xū de zhēn shí yòu guǒ 。
虽然一番波折，最终取得了所需的真实诱果。
Although he had gone through a series of setbacks, he finally obtained the real诱果 he needed.
dàn xǔ bái xiàn zài ， què réng rán bù néng lí kāi tiān liáng zhōu 。
但许白现在，却仍然不能离开天凉州。
However, Xu Bai still couldn't leave Tianliang Prefecture just yet.
yīn wèi wáng qiū pò dǎo zhì de yī xì liè ān jiàn shàng wèi zhèng shì jié ān ， tā zuò wéi shǐ zuò yǒng zhě ， zì rán yǒu yì wù yào jì xù pèi hé diào chá 。
因为王秋破导致的一系列桉件尚未正式结桉，他作为始作俑者，自然有义务要继续配合调查。
Because the case involving Wang Qiupu was not officially closed. As the instigator, he naturally had an obligation to continue cooperating with the investigation.
bù guò cǐ shí ， dà zhòng de zhù yì lì ， dà duō dōu jí zhōng zài duì wáng qiū pò jiù dǎng de qīng suàn 、 yǐ jí kòng quē zhí wèi de míng zhēng àn duó shàng 。 tā dǎo shì zàn shí bèi rén yí wàng ， là le gè qīng xián 。
不过此时，大众的注意力，大多都集中在对王秋破旧党的清算、以及空缺职位的明争暗夺上。他倒是暂时被人遗忘，落了个清闲。
But at this moment, most people's attention was focused on settling accounts with Wang Qiupu’s old faction and vying for vacant positions. He was temporarily forgotten, enjoying a bit of peace.
yǔ cǐ tóng shí ， máng máng bái wù zhī zhōng 。
与此同时，茫茫白雾之中。
Meanwhile, in the vast white fog,
“ fā shēng shén me shì le ？ zuó tiān wǒ kàn de shí hòu ， jiě lí dié bèi duì huàn de zhǐ shèng xià le wǔ gè cái duì 。 zěn me xiàn zài tā de shù liàng yòu biàn huí liù gè le ？” pǔ xián zhēn zhōu zhèng zài jí sù pò wù fēi dùn ， huáng fǔ sōng què hū de shī shēng jīng hū dào 。
“发生甚么事了？昨天我看的时候，解离碟被兑换的只剩下了五个才对。怎么现在它的数量又变回六个了？”普贤真舟正在急速破雾飞遁，皇甫松却忽的失声惊呼道。
"What happened? When I checked yesterday, there were only five Disentanglement Discs left to be exchanged. How did it become six now?" Huafu Song suddenly cried out in surprise as the True Vessels of Puxian rushed through the fog.
dōng fāng yào liǎn sè dà biàn ：“ nán bù chéng ， wǒ men yòu jìn rù le shén me guǐ yì mí yù zhī zhōng ？ shí jiān dào liú huí le yī tiān zhī qián ？”
东方曜脸色大变：“难不成，我们又进入了什么诡异迷域之中？时间倒流回了一天之前？”
Eastern Yao's expression changed dramatically: "Could we have entered another strange realm? Has time reverted to a day ago?"
lǐ fán chén mò le piàn kè ， suí hòu yǒu xiē wú nài de shuō dào ：“ yīng gāi shì shòu wáng qiū pò ān de yǐng xiǎng 。 duì huàn jiě lí dié de sì rén ， qí zhōng yí gè yīng gāi gēn wáng qiū pò yǒu guān 。 yǒu zhe shēn wèi jiàn dié de xián yí ， jiě lí dié cǐ děng xiān méng zhòng bǎo ， zì rán bù kě néng luò zài tā de shēn shàng 。 kěn dìng shì bèi shōu huí le 。”
李凡沉默了片刻，随后有些无奈的说道：“应该是受王秋破桉的影响。兑换解离碟的四人，其中一个应该跟王秋破有关。有着身为间谍的嫌疑，解离碟此等仙盟重宝，自然不可能落在他的身上。肯定是被收回了。”
Li Fan remained silent for a moment before saying, somewhat helplessly, "It seems to be affected by Wang Qiupu’s case. The four people who exchanged their Disentanglement Discs should include one related to Wang Qiupu, with the suspicion of being an agent. Such a precious treasure of the Immortal Alliance wouldn’t fall into his hands; it must have been reclaimed."
sān rén qián bù jiǔ gāng cóng mí yù zhōng chū lái 、 huī fù le gēn tiān xuán jìng de tōng xùn 。 suǒ yǐ dǎo shì zhī xiǎo xiān méng zuì jìn fā shēng de zhè jiàn dà shì 。
三人前不久刚从迷域中出来、恢复了跟天玄镜的通讯。所以倒是知晓仙盟最近发生的这件大事。
The three had just returned from the realm and restored communication with the Heavenly Xuan Mirror not long ago, so they were aware of the recent major event in the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.
dōng fāng yǔ huáng fǔ wén yán ， dùn shí fǎn yìng guò lái 。
东方与皇甫闻言，顿时反应过来。
Eastern Yao and Huafu Song immediately understood.
“ hái shì lǐ xiōng nǐ nǎo zi zhuǎn de kuài 。” dōng fāng yào hēi hēi xiào dào 。
“还是李兄你脑子转的快。”东方曜嘿嘿笑道。
"Brother Li is indeed quick-witted," Eastern Yao chuckled.
huáng fǔ sōng zé shì shāo wēi sōng le kǒu qì ：“ yuán běn wǒ hái yǒu diǎn dān xīn ， yǐ wǒ men de jìn dù ， qiǎng bú dào jiě lí dié ne 。 zhè xià píng kōng duō chū lái yī méi ， yīng dāng wěn le 。”
皇甫松则是稍微松了口气：“原本我还有点担心，以我们的进度，抢不到解离碟呢。这下凭空多出来一枚，应当稳了。”
Huafu Song let out a sigh of relief: "I was worried that we wouldn’t be able to get our hands on the Disentanglement Disc. With one more added, it should be secure now."
sān rén bù yuē ér tóng jiāng shì xiàn jí zhōng zài zì jǐ de qīng xuán diǎn shàng 。
三人不约而同将视线集中在自己的青玄点上。
The three focused their gazes on their respective Qingxuan Points.
“36000 diǎn 。”
“36000点。”
"36,000 points."
àn zhào xiān qián de jīng yàn ， zhǐ yào zài wán chéng yī dào liǎng gè mí yù de tàn suǒ ， jiù néng jiāng shèng xià de yī wàn sì qiān diǎn bǔ qí le 。
按照先前的经验，只要再完成一到两个迷域的探索，就能将剩下的一万四千点补齐了。
Following previous experience, they just needed to explore one or two more realms to complete the remaining 14,000 points.
“ rú jīn bái wù nèi ， nǎ pà zài zěn me piān pì de qū yù ， dōu néng ǒu ěr yù jiàn xiū shì de shēn yǐng 。 hǎo xiàng zhěng gè wàn xiān méng de rén ， dōu yī wō fēng de yǒng le jìn lái 。 zhēn de shì tài lí pǔ le ！ gěi wǒ men de yǐ tàn míng qū yù dì tú ， yě yā gēn yòng bù shàng le 。” dōng fāng yào bào yuàn dào 。
“如今白雾内，哪怕再怎么偏僻的区域，都能偶尔遇见修士的身影。好像整个万仙盟的人，都一窝蜂的涌了进来。真的是太离谱了！给我们的已探明区域地图，也压根用不上了。”东方曜抱怨道。
"Even in this fog, we can occasionally encounter cultivators. It seems like everyone is rushing into it. This is too absurd! Our map of explored areas is useless," Eastern Yao complained.
“ shì a ， hái hǎo lǐ xiōng běn lǐng bù fán ， néng cóng bái wù zhōng tīng dào lái zì mí yù de mò míng shēng yīn 。” huáng fǔ sōng bù zhe hén jì de piē le yǎn lǐ fán 。
“是啊，还好李兄本领不凡，能从白雾中听到来自迷域的莫名声音。”皇甫松不着痕迹的瞥了眼李凡。
"Yes, Brother Li’s skills are remarkable; he can hear strange sounds from the realms amidst the white fog," Huafu Song glanced at Li Fan without drawing attention to himself.
“ shuō qǐ lái ， lǐ xiōng nǐ tīng dào de shēng yīn jiū jìng shì shén me yàng de ， néng bù néng wèi wǒ men miáo shù yī fān ？” huáng fǔ sōng shì tàn zhe wèn dào 。
“说起来，李兄你听到的声音究竟是什么样的，能不能为我们描述一番？”皇甫松试探着问道。
"Speaking of which, what kind of sound did you hear, Brother Li? Could you describe it for us?" Huafu Song asked tentatively.
lǐ fán xīn zhōng lěng xiào yī shēng ， zhèng yù dá huà 。
李凡心中冷笑一声，正欲答话。
Li Fan sneered inwardly and was about to respond when...
nà guǐ mèi bān de shēng yīn què shì zài dù yú lǐ fán de ěr pàn xiǎng qǐ 。
那鬼魅般的声音却是再度于李凡的耳畔响起。
The ghostly voice resounded in his ears again.
“ zhè fù jìn yǒu mí yù 。” duì cǐ yǐ jīng zhú jiàn shú xī de lǐ fán ， bù jǐn xīn zhōng méi yǒu jīng jù ， fǎn dào shì tíng xià zhèng zài jí chí de pǔ xián zhēn zhōu ， níng shén fēn biàn shēng yīn chuán lái de fāng xiàng 。
“这附近有迷域。”对此已经逐渐熟悉的李凡，不仅心中没有惊惧，反倒是停下正在疾驰的普贤真舟，凝神分辨声音传来的方向。
"This area has a realm," Li Fan, who had grown accustomed to this, did not feel alarmed. Instead, he stopped the Puxian True Vessel and concentrated on pinpointing the source of the sound.
zhǐ shì zhè yī cì ， sì hū gēn yǐ wǎng yǒu xiē bù tóng 。
只是这一次，似乎跟以往有些不同。
However, it seemed different this time.
yīn wèi wǎn ruò “ tiān yī ” de āi háo shēng ， yuè lái yuè xiǎng 。
因为宛若“天医”的哀嚎声，越来越响。
The wail of "Tianyi" grew louder, as if...
jiù xiàng ……
就像……
A realm was rapidly approaching!
yǒu mí yù zhèng zài kuài sù jiè jiē jìn yī yàng ！
有迷域正在快速借接近一样！
Li Fan’s expression changed drastically. He expanded his divine sense outward to probe the surroundings.
lǐ fán dùn shí sè biàn ， shén niàn cháo zhe bái wù wài xùn sù kuò zhāng ， shì tú tàn míng zhōu wéi de zhuàng kuàng 。
李凡顿时色变，神念朝着白雾外迅速扩张，试图探明周围的状况。
But the white fog remained still, without a hint of disturbance.
dàn bái wù rú qīng tán shēn shuǐ ， méi yǒu yī sī bō dòng 。
但白雾如清潭深水，没有一丝波动。
He had no idea where the danger came from.
gēn běn bù zhī wēi jī lái zì hé fāng 。
根本不知危机来自何方。
"Tian..."
“ yī ！”
“医！”
The angry and resentful voices became clearer.
fèn nù 、 yuàn zēng zhī shēng ， biàn dé yuè lái yuè qīng xī 。
愤怒、怨憎之声，变得越来越清晰。
Clearly, it was "Tianyi."
néng gòu míng xiǎn tīng chū ， de dí què què jiù shì “ tiān yī ” èr zì 。
能够明显听出，的的确确就是“天医”二字。
They were coming from all directions, as if countless ancient beasts, driven mad, were relentlessly approaching them.
zì sì miàn bā fāng ér lái ， jiù xiàng shì yǒu wú shù tóu shī qù lǐ zhì de shàng gǔ xiōng shòu ， bù duàn páo xiào zhe bī jìn 。
自四面八方而来，就像是有无数头失去理智的上古凶兽，不断咆孝着逼近。
Li Fan’s ears ached. He glanced at Huafu Song and Eastern Yao beside him.
yǐ jīng zhèn dé lǐ fán ěr mó shēng téng 。
已经震得李凡耳膜生疼。
Even though they seemed unaffected by the terrifying noise, he noticed that they hadn’t heard it either.
tā kàn le yǎn yī páng de huáng fǔ yǔ dōng fāng 。
他看了眼一旁的皇甫与东方。
"Something seems off around us?" Eastern Yao, more alert, suddenly asked.
fā xiàn jí biàn zhè yàng ， tā men yě sì hū méi yǒu tīng jiàn zhè kě bù de xiǎng shēng 。
发现即便这样，他们也似乎没有听见这可怖的响声。
"Let's go!"
“ zhōu wéi hǎo xiàng yǒu shén me bú duì jìn ？” dào dǐ shì dōng fāng yào jǐng jué xiē ， hū de kāi kǒu wèn dào 。
“周围好像有什么不对劲？”到底是东方曜警觉些，忽的开口问道。
The sudden sense of danger intensified. Li Fan made a quick decision.
“ zǒu ！”
“走！”
The Puxian True Vessel accelerated sharply to break through the fog.
xīn zhōng de zhòu rán yǒng qǐ de wēi jī gǎn ， yuè lái yuè qiáng liè 。 lǐ fán dāng jī lì duàn 。
心中的骤然涌起的危机感，越来越强烈。李凡当机立断。
Suddenly, an enormous hand emerged from below the white fog.
pǔ xián zhēn zhōu měng dì jiā sù ， shì tú pò kāi mí wù 。
普贤真舟勐地加速，试图破开迷雾。
With bent fingers, it formed a cage, attempting to grab the Puxian True Vessel.
jiù zài zhè shí ， yī zhī jù dà de shǒu zhǎng ， hū de zì xià fāng de bái wù zhōng shēn chū 。
就在这时，一只巨大的手掌，忽的自下方的白雾中伸出。
"What in the world is that?" Huafu Song’s expression changed. He screamed and threw a golden-yellow array flag at the giant hand.
wǔ zhǐ wān qū ， xíng chéng qiú lóng 。 yào jiāng pǔ xián zhēn zhōu zhuā zài shǒu zhōng 。
五指弯曲，形成囚笼。要将普贤真舟抓在手中。
The array flag exploded into yellow threads, binding the hand and causing its movements to pause slightly.
“ zhè shén me guǐ dōng xī ？” huáng fǔ sōng dùn shí sè biàn ， fā chū yī shēng jiān jiào de tóng shí ， shǒu lǐ de dòng zuò yě bù màn 。
“这什么鬼东西？”皇甫松顿时色变，发出一声尖叫的同时，手里的动作也不慢。
"Quickly go!"
rēng chū yī zhī xìng huáng sè zhèn qí ， fēi jiàn shì de yíng xiàng jù zhǎng 。
扔出一只杏黄色阵旗，飞箭似的迎向巨掌。
Huafu Song shouted urgently.
zhèn qí bào liè kāi lái ， huà zuò dào dào huáng sè sī shéng ， jiāng jù zhǎng shù fù zhù 、 shǐ qí dòng zuò wēi wēi yī dùn 。
阵旗爆裂开来，化作道道黄色丝绳，将巨掌束缚住、使其动作微微一顿。
Li Fan didn’t wait for him; he had already fully activated the Puxian True Vessel, fleeing in the direction they came from.
“ kuài zǒu ！”
“快走！”
They had no intention of fighting. The sudden appearance of that terrifying hand was too shocking.
huáng fǔ sōng què shì lián máng dà hǎn dào ， yǔ qì shí fēn huāng zhāng 。
皇甫松却是连忙大喊道，语气十分慌张。
Li Fan had seen the ancient emperor’s severed palm at the bottom of the Abyss, but even that didn’t compare to what they just saw!
lǐ fán bù děng tā shuō ， zǎo yǐ jīng quán lì cuī dòng qǐ le pǔ xián zhēn zhōu ， cháo zhe lái shí de fāng xiàng yuǎn dùn 。
李凡不等他说，早已经全力催动起了普贤真舟，朝着来时的方向远遁。
Because this so-called hand was actually made up of stacked and sewn-together corpses of cultivators.
bù guài tā men jǐ rén yì diǎn liàn zhàn de xīn sī dōu méi yǒu ， shí zài shì nà tū wù chū xiàn de shǒu zhǎng tài guò hài rén 。
不怪他们几人一点恋战的心思都没有，实在是那突兀出现的手掌太过骇人。
In a fleeting glimpse, Li Fan could see their twisted bodies and faces, as well as the black, eerie threads connecting them!
lǐ fán céng jīng zài chì zhā shēn yuān wài de yǒng héng xiān lěi ， jiàn guò gǔ tiān zūn duàn zhǎng 。
李凡曾经在叱吒深渊外的永恒仙垒，见过古天尊断掌。
What chilled him to the bone was that despite the lack of any life force in these corpses,
dàn jí biàn shì gǔ tiān zūn zhī zhǎng dài lái de zhèn hàn ， yě yuǎn bù rú tā men gāng gāng suǒ jiàn de nà zhǐ jù zhǎng ！
但即便是古天尊之掌带来的震撼，也远不如他们刚刚所见的那只巨掌！
Their mouths kept opening and closing, emitting screams from hell.
yīn wèi ， zhè suǒ wèi de shǒu zhǎng ， hè rán shì yóu yī jù jù xiū shì de shī tǐ ， duī dié 、 féng bǔ ér chéng 。
因为，这所谓的手掌，赫然是由一具具修士的尸体，堆叠、缝补而成。
"Tian!"
nà jīng hóng yī piē lǐ ， lǐ fán shèn zhì néng kàn qīng tā men niǔ qū de shēn tǐ yǔ miàn róng ， yǐ jí jiāng tā men shēn tǐ chuàn lián zài yì qǐ de gè hēi sè guǐ yì sī xiàn ！
那惊鸿一瞥里，李凡甚至能看清他们扭曲的身体与面容，以及将他们身体串联在一起的个黑色诡异丝线！
"Yi!"
gèng ràng lǐ fán gǎn dào máo gǔ sǒng rán de shì ， suī rán zhè xiē xiū shì shēn shàng gǎn shòu bú dào dīng diǎn de shēng jī 。
更让李凡感到毛骨悚然的是，虽然这些修士身上感受不到丁点的生机。
The giant hand, temporarily trapped by Huafu Song’s [Thousand Threads Array], was suddenly replaced by another one emerging from the depths of the fog.
dàn shì tā men réng rán zuǐ bā bù duàn zhāng hé ， fā chū lái zì dì yù shēn chù de sī hǒu 。
但是他们仍然嘴巴不断张合，发出来自地狱深处的嘶吼。
It roughly tore apart the yellow threads.
“ tiān ！”
“天！”
The three could see that it was still a massive arm made up of countless corpses, an eerie and enormous limb.
“ yī ！”
“医！”
As if there was a giant corpse hidden in the fog, watching and pursuing them.
jù zhǎng bèi huáng fǔ sōng de 【 qiān sī bǎi gé zhèn 】 zàn shí kùn zhù ， què yòu yǒu lìng wài yī zhī cóng bái wù shēn chù zhà rán chū xiàn 。
巨掌被皇甫松的【千丝百葛阵】暂时困住，却又有另外一只从白雾深处乍然出现。
"The Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance’s [Heaven-splitting Cannon] is meant to deal with this guy!" Eastern Yao shouted, his voice trembling. He gritted his teeth and punched behind him.
cū bào de jiāng huáng sè sī shéng yī bǎ chě kāi 。
粗暴的将黄色丝绳一把扯开。
A black rift like a sword exploded, revealing Eastern Yao's divine technique he had learned in the Void Splitter Vortex.
sān rén dé yǐ kàn qīng ， nà yī rán shì yóu wú shù jù shī shēn lián jiē zǔ hé ér chéng de 、 guǐ jué wú bǐ de ， páng dà bì bǎng 。
三人得以看清，那依然是由无数具尸身连接组合而成的、诡谲无比的，庞大臂膀。
But even such an attack that could tear space apart couldn’t slow down the corpse giant at all.
jiù hǎo xiàng yǒu yī wèi sǐ shī jù rén ， yǐn cáng zài bái wù zhōng ， zhèng zài zhù shì 、 zhuī bǔ zhe tā men 。
就好像有一位死尸巨人，隐藏在白雾中，正在注视、追捕着他们。
The bodies of the cultivators shattered under the black marks, but another one emerged from the pile and took its place.
“ xiān méng de 【 liè tiān pào 】， duì fù de bú huì jiù shì zhè ge jiā huo ba ！” dōng fāng yào dà hǒu dào ， shēng yīn yǒu xiē fā dǒu 。
“仙盟的【裂天炮】，对付的不会就是这个家伙吧！”东方曜大吼道，声音有些发抖。
This terrifying scene left Huafu Song and Eastern Yao trembling with fear.
This young cultivator from the Garrison Academy had a stern expression. No one would have guessed that he was actually an agent of the Five Elders Association.
Moreover, he had even been involved in capturing their own agents before...
That made it all the more absurd.
After saying those words and leaving behind a [Clear Bright Mother Stone], he quickly left without drawing any attention.
Xu Bai remained calm as well, swiftly putting away the fully loaded mother stone.
Upon checking, the types and quantities of supplies indeed matched his requirements exactly.
"Considering what we've seen from the Five Elders Association, they do have some redeeming qualities. At least, they are more reliable than the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance," Xu Bai thought to himself.
Although he had gone through a series of setbacks, he finally obtained the real诱果 he needed.
However, Xu Bai still couldn't leave Tianliang Prefecture just yet.
Because the case involving Wang Qiupu was not officially closed. As the instigator, he naturally had an obligation to continue cooperating with the investigation.
But at this moment, most people's attention was focused on settling accounts with Wang Qiupu’s old faction and vying for vacant positions. He was temporarily forgotten, enjoying a bit of peace.
Meanwhile, in the vast white fog,
"What happened? When I checked yesterday, there were only five Disentanglement Discs left to be exchanged. How did it become six now?" Huafu Song suddenly cried out in surprise as the True Vessels of Puxian rushed through the fog.

Huafu Song let out a sigh of relief: "I was worried that we wouldn’t be able to get our hands on the Disentanglement Disc. With one more added, it should be secure now."
The three focused their gazes on their respective Qingxuan Points.
"36,000 points."
Following previous experience, they just needed to explore one or two more realms to complete the remaining 14,000 points.
"Even in this fog, we can occasionally encounter cultivators. It seems like everyone is rushing into it. This is too absurd! Our map of explored areas is useless," Eastern Yao complained.
"Yes, Brother Li’s skills are remarkable; he can hear strange sounds from the realms amidst the white fog," Huafu Song glanced at Li Fan without drawing attention to himself.

A black rift like a sword exploded, revealing Eastern Yao's divine technique he had learned in the Void Splitter Vortex.
But even such an attack that could tear space apart couldn’t slow down the corpse giant at all.
The bodies of the cultivators shattered under the black marks, but another one emerged from the pile and took its place.
This terrifying scene left Huafu Song and Eastern Yao trembling with fear.
