sì hū gēn bái xiān shēng nà shēn suì de yǎn zhū duì shì 。
似乎跟白先生那深邃的眼珠对视。
It seemed as if he was gazing into Mr. Bai's deep, piercing eyes.
lǐ fán dùn shí xīn zàng zhòu tíng 。
李凡顿时心脏骤停。
Li Fan's heart stopped abruptly.
“ guǒ rán ， wǒ cāi de méi yǒu cuò ！ tā fù huó hòu dì yī jiàn shì ， jiù shì yào bǎ 【 hái zhēn 】 gǎo dào shǒu 。” yǐ jǐ duó rén ， lǐ fán zì shēn líng jué fēng kuáng shì jǐng 。
“果然，我猜的没有错！他复活后第一件事，就是要把【还真】搞到手。”以己度人，李凡自身灵觉疯狂示警。
"Sure enough, my guess wasn't wrong! The first thing he would do after coming back to life is to get his hands on the [Truly Real]. " Li Fan, putting himself in Mr. Bai’s shoes, was frantically alerting his own spirit senses.
xiǎng dào nà jī hū xiāng dāng yú wú shù gè hé dào dié jiā shí lì de qiáng zhě ， mǎ shàng jiù yào zhǎo shàng mén lái 。
想到那几乎相当于无数个合道叠加实力的强者，马上就要找上门来。
Thinking of that formidable powerhouse whose strength was equivalent to countless amalgamations of cultivation realms, he felt a massive pressure akin to black clouds pressing down upon him, making it hard for him to breathe.
rú tóng miàn duì hēi yún yā chéng ， jù dà de yā pò lì jī hū shǐ de tā nán yǐ hū xī 。
如同面对黑云压城，巨大的压迫力几乎使得他难以呼吸。
Taking a deep breath and forcing himself to remain calm, Li Fan focused on the运转 of the Dao Crystal in his mind, contemplating any possible oversights in his preparations.
zhǎng shū yì kǒu qì ， pò shǐ zì jǐ lěng jìng xià lái 。
长舒一口气，迫使自己冷静下来。
But he also knew that with such a significant disparity in strength, all his calculations would ultimately depend on luck!
nǎo hǎi zhōng huà dào shí jīng tǐ yùn zhuàn dào jí zhì ， sī suǒ zhe zì shēn zhǔn bèi shì fǒu yǒu yí lòu de dì fāng 。
脑海中化道石晶体运转到极致，思索着自身准备是否有遗漏的地方。
"My fate must not be sealed!"
dàn tā yě zhī dào ， zài jù dà de shí lì chā jù miàn qián ， suǒ yǒu de suàn jì ， shí jì dōu yào kàn yùn qì ！
但他也知道，在巨大的实力差距面前，所有的算计，实际都要看运气！
At this critical moment, without the support of [Truly Real], Li Fan felt his tension gradually dissipate. His mind became clear and devoid of distractions as he calmly pondered potential strategies.
“ wǒ mìng ， bì bù gāi jué ！”
“我命，必不该绝！”
"Although I lost the same-body感应 with Saint Embryo Xu Bai, perhaps this 'loss' is merely a one-way, simple shielding."
shēng sǐ zhī jì ， qiě méi yǒu hái zhēn zuò wéi yī zhàng 。
生死之际，且没有还真作为依仗。
"There's no way to rule out the possibility that Mr. Bai can still sense my situation through his avatar Xu Bai or even by contaminating himself."
lǐ fán què jué de zì shēn de jǐn zhāng zhú jiàn xiāo shī ， nǎo hǎi zhōng yī piàn qīng míng 。
李凡却觉得自身的紧张逐渐消失，脑海中一片清明。
"So the first step is to send away the avatar Xu Bai in an attempt to sever and weaken our connection."
zá niàn jù shì bú jiàn 。
杂念俱是不见。
"Otherwise, any plan of mine would be as transparent to him."
lěng jìng de sī suǒ zhe kě néng de duì cè 。
冷静的思索着可能的对策。
"And what next..."
“ suī rán wǒ shī qù le shèng tāi xǔ bái de tóng tǐ gǎn yìng ， dàn zhè zhǒng ‘ shī qù ’， huò xǔ zhǐ shì dān xiàng de 、 dān chún de píng bì 。”
“虽然我失去了圣胎许白的同体感应，但这种‘失去’，或许只是单向的、单纯的屏蔽。”
Li Fan's brows furrowed as he continued to derive possible scenarios. He waited for Mr. Bai’s arrival but noticed that his speed seemed slower than expected.
“ wú fǎ pái chú ， bái xiān shēng réng rán kě yǐ tōng guò fēn shēn xǔ bái 、 shèn zhì běn tǐ de wū rǎn ， gǎn yìng dào wǒ zhè biān qíng kuàng de kě néng 。”
“无法排除，白先生仍然可以通过分身许白、甚至本体的污染，感应到我这边情况的可能。”
After a full incense stick had passed, there was still no sign of him.
“ suǒ yǐ dì yī bù ， jiù shì yào bǎ fēn shēn xǔ bái sòng diào ， shì tú zhǎn duàn 、 xuē ruò tā hé wǒ zhī jiān de lián xì 。”
“所以第一步，就是要把分身许白送掉，试图斩断、削弱他和我之间的联系。”
"Could it be that he went to find Dongfang Ya to remove the [Remnant Shadows]隐患 first?"
“ fǒu zé ， shén me jì huà zài tā miàn qián dōu shì tòu míng de bān 。”
“否则，什么计划在他面前都是透明的般。”
Li Fan's thoughts shifted as he checked and found that both Dongfang Ya and the Remnant Shadows were unharmed.
“ ér jiē xià lái ……”
“而接下来……”
"Then where did he go?"
lǐ fán méi tóu jǐn suǒ ， tuī yǎn sī kǎo zhe jiē xià lái huì fā shēng de zhǒng zhǒng kě néng 。
李凡眉头紧锁，推衍思考着接下来会发生的种种可能。
A hint of doubt flashed through his mind, but soon, he guessed a possible scenario. With Mr. Bai’s current strength, a Teleportation could easily breach spatial restrictions to arrive at the Immortal Valley.
tóng shí děng dài zhe bái xiān shēng de lái lín 。
同时等待着白先生的来临。
But remember that Supreme Law Sovereign was still atop the dome, observing and monitoring Xuanhuang World.
dàn sì hū ， bái xiān shēng gǎn lái de sù dù ， bǐ qǐ yù xiǎng zhōng de yào màn le bù shǎo 。
但似乎，白先生赶来的速度，比起预想中的要慢了不少。
Such an obvious move would be akin to exposing himself.
zú zú yī zhù xiāng de gōng fu guò qù ， què réng rán méi yǒu kàn dào tā de shēn yǐng 。
足足一炷香的功夫过去，却仍然没有看到他的身影。
Thus, it seemed likely that Mr. Bai used a method less conspicuous: "slowly walking in."
“ nán bù chéng ， shì qù xún zhǎo dōng fāng yào ， xiān qù chú nà xiē 【 yí yǐng 】 hòu huàn le ？”
“难不成，是去寻找东方曜，先去除那些【遗影】后患了？”
Of course, this "slow" was relative to Teleportation.
lǐ fán xīn niàn yī dòng ， chá kàn zhī xià ， què fā xiàn dōng fāng yào hé yí yǐng jiē shì wú yàng 。
李凡心念一动，查看之下，却发现东方曜和遗影皆是无恙。
"Regardless, he should be here soon." Li Fan sat calmly at the center of his meditation room.
“ nà shì qù le nǎ lǐ ？”
“那是去了哪里？”
Meanwhile, avatar Xu Bai had quietly made its way to the entrance of the Immortal Valley.
xīn zhōng shǎn guò yī sī yí huò 。
心中闪过一丝疑惑。
---
bù guò hěn kuài ， tā jiù yǐn yǐn cāi dào le yí gè kě néng 。
不过很快，他就隐隐猜到了一个可能。
Li Fan’s guess proved correct. Suddenly, a sealed spatial passage opened up.
xiāng xìn yǐ bái xiān shēng rú jīn de shí lì ， dà kě yǐ yí gè shùn yí ， jiù chuān pò kōng jiān xiàn zhì ， lái dào cháng shēng gǔ zhōng 。
相信以白先生如今的实力，大可以一个瞬移，就穿破空间限制，来到长生谷中。
The disciples from Medicine King Sect were taken aback as they approached to investigate but found no one there.
dàn bié wàng le ， chuán fǎ tiān zūn zhèng zài qióng dǐng zhī shàng ， zhù shì 、 guān chá zhe xuán huáng jiè 。
但别忘了，传法天尊正在穹顶之上，注视、观察着玄黄界。
Just when they were puzzled,
rú cǐ xiǎn yǎn de jǔ dòng ， wú yì yú zhǔ dòng jiāng zì jǐ bào lù 。
如此显眼的举动，无异于主动将自己暴露。
a figure appeared in the Immortal Valley.
yú shì ， kě néng bái xiān shēng cǎi yòng le jǐn liàng bú huì xiǎn chū yì cháng de fāng fǎ ：“ huǎn bù zǒu lái ”。
于是，可能白先生采用了尽量不会显出异常的方法：“缓步走来”。
Before it could even stand still and speak, countless black煞气 burst forth like flying insects.
dāng rán ， zhè ge “ huǎn bù ”， shì xiāng bǐ jiào yú “ shùn yí ” ér yán 。
当然，这个“缓步”，是相比较于“瞬移”而言。
They transformed into a swarm of swords that slashed towards Mr. Bai!
“ bù guǎn rú hé ， yīng gāi kuài le 。” lǐ fán duān zuò xiū liàn mì shì zhōng yāng 。
“不管如何，应该快了。”李凡端坐修炼密室中央。
Each strike was enough to severely wound a Cultivation Realm powerhouse!
ér fēn shēn xǔ bái ， zé shì qiǎo rán lái dào le cháng shēng gǔ de rù kǒu chù 。
而分身许白，则是悄然来到了长生谷的入口处。
"Yushan?!" Liu San’s shocked voice rang out.
lǐ fán de cāi cè méi yǒu cuò 。
李凡的猜测没有错。
Those countless black swords were cast by Jiang Yushan herself.
mò guò duō jiǔ ， fēng bì de kōng jiān tōng dào hū rán bèi dǎ kāi 。
没过多久，封闭的空间通道忽然被打开。
It was her ultimate technique, the [Mysterious and Unsettled Sword].
zhí shǒu de yào wáng zōng dì zǐ yī zhèn è rán 。
值守的药王宗弟子一阵愕然。
The sword intent, tainted with boundless煞气, could easily destroy one's body and soul with a single strike.
shàng qián chá kàn shí ， què fā xiàn gēn běn méi yǒu rén qián lái 。
上前查看时，却发现根本没有人前来。
In normal circumstances, Jiang Yushan could only unleash up to a thousand sword intents at once, which was already pushing her limits.
zhèng yī tóu wù shuǐ zhī jì 。
正一头雾水之际。
But now, it seemed she had surpassed that limit.
yī dào rén yǐng què shì lái dào le cháng shēng gǔ zhōng 。
一道人影却是来到了长生谷中。
Her entire body appeared as if it had numerous wounds splitting open, with blood flowing from all over, even from the corners of her eyes.
hái wèi zhàn dìng 、 shuō chū bàn jù huà 。
还未站定、说出半句话。
For a New Law cultivator, such injuries might not matter much, but for an Old Law cultivator, they were severe.
wàn qiān dào hēi sè shā qì ， yóu rú wú shù fēi chóng ， hōng rán bào fā 。
万千道黑色煞气，犹如无数飞虫，轰然爆发。
But Jiang Yushan ignored them.
huà zuò màn tiān fēi jiàn ， cháo zhe bái xiān shēng zhǎn qù ！
化作漫天飞剑，朝着白先生斩去！
Endless black swords continued to slash without rest.
měi yī jī ， dōu zú yǐ zhòng chuāng yī wèi hé dào xiū shì ！
每一击，都足以重创一位合道修士！
Unyielding!
“ yù shān ？！” liǔ sān zhèn jīng de shēng yīn xiǎng qǐ 。
“玉珊？！”柳三震惊的声音响起。
Though they didn't know who this mysterious figure was, seeing Jiang Yushan fight so desperately, how could Liu San just stand by?
nà wú shù hēi shā zhī jiàn ， zhèng shì yóu jiāng yù shān shī zhǎn ér chū 。
那无数黑煞之剑，正是由姜玉珊施展而出。
" Fang Zaiji!" he bellowed, waking the still entranced old craftsman, Fang Zaiji.
zhèng shì tā de jué xué 【 piāo miǎo wú dìng jiàn 】。
正是她的绝学【缥缈无定剑】。
He then struck out with both palms towards the green light.
wú dìng jiàn yì ， zhān rǎn tāo tiān shā qì ， yī dào jiàn yì ， néng gòu qīng yì huǐ shēn miè hún 。
无定剑意，沾染滔天煞气，一道剑意，能够轻易毁身灭魂。
A green glow rushed to Jiang Yushan, healing her wounds.
xún cháng zhuàng tài xià ， jiāng yù shān zuì duō tóng shí shǐ chū qiān dào jiàn yì ， yǐ jīng jiù shì jí xiàn 。
寻常状态下，姜玉珊最多同时使出千道剑意，已经就是极限。
Another green light instantly transformed into countless threads, attempting to ensnare Mr. Bai.
ér cǐ kè ， xiǎn rán yǐ jīng chāo chū le tā suǒ néng chéng shòu de fù hè shàng xiàn 。
而此刻，显然已经超出了她所能承受的负荷上限。
Before these threads could reach Mr. Bai, a massive black hammer like a small mountain appeared above his head and was about to fall.
hún shēn fǎng fú yǒu yī dào dào shāng kǒu ， bēng liè kāi lái 。 hún shēn 、 shèn zhì yǎn jiǎo dōu yǒu xiān xuè liú chū 。
浑身仿佛有一道道伤口，崩裂开来。浑身、甚至眼角都有鲜血流出。
Three Cultivation Realms from Medicine King Sect were Li Fan’s first move.
zhè děng shāng shì ， duì yú xīn fǎ xiū shì lái shuō ， huò xǔ wú suǒ wèi 。 dàn duì yú jiù fǎ xiū shì ér yán ， yǐ jīng shì jí wéi yán zhòng le 。
这等伤势，对于新法修士来说，或许无所谓。但对于旧法修士而言，已经是极为严重了。
Jiang Yushan's preemptive attack was due to the influence of the second [True Deception Fruit] she had ingested earlier. Following Xu Bai’s instructions, she launched an unyielding assault.
dàn jiāng yù shān què shì bù guǎn bù gù 。
但姜玉珊却是不管不顾。
As long as Jiang Yushan was engaged in battle, Liu San couldn’t ignore her, and Fang Zaiji would likely join the fight.
wú jìn hēi shā zhī jiàn ， bù duàn zhǎn jī 。
无尽黑煞之剑，不断斩击。
Just one True Deception Fruit could drive three Cultivation Realms into combat.
bù sǐ bù xiū ！
不死不休！
Though Medicine King Sect's three Cultivation Realms were weaker than those of New Law cultivators,
suī rán bù zhī dào zhè dào mò míng chū xiàn de shēn yǐng shì shuí ， dàn shì yǎn jiàn jiāng yù shān rú cǐ pīn mìng ， liǔ sān yòu zěn me kě néng zuò shì bù guǎn ？
虽然不知道这道莫名出现的身影是谁，但是眼见姜玉珊如此拼命，柳三又怎么可能坐视不管？
three together certainly constituted formidable combat power.
“ fāng zài jì ！” tā nù hè yī shēng ， jiāng réng rán xīn zuì yú liàn qì de lǎo fāng huàn xǐng 。
“方再济！”他怒喝一声，将仍然心醉于炼器的老方唤醒。
---
tóng shí huī chū shuāng zhǎng ， pāi xiàng lǜ sè guāng huá 。
同时挥出双掌，拍向绿色光华。
However, Mr. Bai seemed to have anticipated their attack.
yī dào lǜ guāng yǒng xiàng jiāng yù shān ， xiū fù zhe tā shēn shàng de shāng shì 。
一道绿光涌向姜玉珊，修复着她身上的伤势。
A gentle smile appeared on his face as he vanished from the midst of the black煞气, green threads, and black hammer.
lìng wài yī dào lǜ guāng ， chà nà zhī jiān huà zuò wàn qiān sī xiàn ， yào jiāng bái xiān shēng suǒ zhù 。
另外一道绿光，刹那之间化作万千丝线，要将白先生锁住。
Moving at a speed no one could see, he approached Liu San and others one by one.
lǜ xiàn shàng wèi dá dào bái xiān shēng shēn biān zhī shí ， tā de tóu dǐng ， yòu yǒu yī bǐng rú tóng xiǎo shān bān de hēi sè zhòng chuí fú xiàn 。
绿线尚未达到白先生身边之时，他的头顶，又有一柄如同小山般的黑色重锤浮现。
Extending his right index finger, he lightly tapped them.
jiù yào chóng chóng là xià 。
就要重重落下。
The three Cultivation Realms instantly froze in place, seemingly losing all their abilities, falling to the ground from mid-air.
sān wèi yào wáng zōng hé dào wéi gōng ， jiù shì lǐ fán de dì yī shǒu zhǔn bèi 。
三位药王宗合道围攻，就是李凡的第一手准备。
Only then did Mr. Bai look towards the impending attack of the Cultivation Realm strike that was about to erupt.
jiāng yù shān zhī suǒ yǐ shuài xiān chū shǒu ， zhèng shì yīn wèi shòu dào zhī qián tūn fú de dì èr méi 【 zhēn shí yòu guǒ 】 yǐng xiǎng ， zài xǔ bái de dīng zhǔ xià ， fā dòng bù sǐ bù xiū de xí jī 。
姜玉珊之所以率先出手，正是因为受到之前吞服的第二枚【真实诱果】影响，在许白的叮嘱下，发动不死不休的袭击。
With a gentle grip, those divine power ripples were instantly absorbed into his hand as if they were threads of jute.
ér zhǐ yào jiāng yù shān xiàn rù zhàn jú ， liǔ sān jiù bì bù kě néng wú shì 。 fāng zài jì yě yǒu hěn dà kě néng jiā rù zhàn dòu 。
而只要姜玉珊陷入战局，柳三就必不可能无视。方再济也有很大可能加入战斗。
Without any visible actions, a small ball filled with terrifying energy was sucked into his body from his palm.
zhǐ xū yī méi zhēn shí yòu guǒ ， jiù néng qū shǐ sān wèi hé dào rù zhàn 。
只需一枚真实诱果，就能驱使三位合道入战。
Liu San and others remained unharmed. They safely landed on the ground, staring at Mr. Bai who looked very similar to the sect’s avatar Xu Bai, leaving them in a state of shock.
yào wáng zōng sān wèi hé dào ， suī rán shí lì bǐ qǐ jīn fǎ hé dào ， yào ruò shàng yī xiē 。
药王宗三位合道，虽然实力比起今法合道，要弱上一些。
With just a gesture, he had easily subdued them.
dàn shì sān rén lián shǒu ， yě jué duì suàn de shàng yī gǔ bù sú de zhàn lì le 。
但是三人联手，也绝对算的上一股不俗的战力了。
This level of strength far exceeded their expectations.
rán ér ， bái xiān shēng sì hū duì yú tā men de wéi gōng zǎo yǒu yù liào 。
然而，白先生似乎对于他们的围攻早有预料。
"Supreme Immortal Sovereign? How could he look so identical to the sect's avatar?"
liǎn shàng lù chū yī sī hé ǎi de wēi xiào 。
脸上露出一丝和蔼的微笑。
Countless questions surged through their minds before they could think further.
shēn xíng shǎn dòng ， xiāo shī zài wàn qiān shā qì 、 lǜ xiàn 、 hēi chuí de bāo wéi zhōng 。
身形闪动，消失在万千煞气、绿线、黑锤的包围中。
But before they could ponder, another anomaly occurred in the midst of the chaos.
yǐ yī zhǒng zài chǎng suǒ yǒu rén dōu wú fǎ kàn qīng de sù dù ， yī cì lái dào liǔ sān děng rén shēn biān 。
以一种在场所有人都无法看清的速度，依次来到柳三等人身边。
A huge metal furnace suddenly appeared and rushed towards Mr. Bai.
shēn chū yòu shǒu shí zhǐ ， qīng qīng yì diǎn 。
伸出右手食指，轻轻一点。
The surface of the furnace already had cracks.
sān wèi hé dào dùn shí dāi lì dāng chǎng ， fǎng fú shī qù le suǒ yǒu de néng lì shì de ， qīng qīng cóng bàn kōng zhuì xiàng dì miàn 。
三位合道顿时呆立当场，仿佛失去了所有的能力似的，轻轻从半空坠向地面。
As it approached Mr. Bai, it exploded.
bái xiān shēng zhè shí hòu ， cái kàn xiàng réng rán yóu lí zài kōng zhōng 、 jí jiāng bào fā de hé dào zhī jī 。
白先生这时候，才看向仍然游离在空中、即将爆发的合道之击。
Fragments scattered but were swallowed by a twisted, expanding mass of beast flesh.
yòu shǒu qīng qīng yī wò 。
右手轻轻一握。
"Roar!"
nà xiē shén tōng bō dòng ， shà shí jiān yóu rú yī tuán má xiàn ， bèi tā xī rù shǒu zhōng 。
那些神通波动，霎时间犹如一团麻线，被他吸入手中。
A massive meat ball emerged, with countless monstrous faces of beasts constantly appearing on its surface.
ér hòu yě bú jiàn rú hé huà jiě dòng zuò ， yùn hán zhe kǒng bù néng liàng de xiǎo xíng yuán qiú ， jiù cóng tā de shǒu xīn 、 bèi xī rù tǐ nèi 。
而后也不见如何化解动作，蕴含着恐怖能量的小型圆球，就从他的手心、被吸入体内。
Innumerable eyes filled with brutality and destruction stared at him from birth.
liǔ sān děng rén bìng wèi shòu shāng 。
柳三等人并未受伤。
The Primordial One Beast let out an odd roar as it fiercely charged towards Mr. Bai.
tā men ān quán de luò zài dì miàn shàng ， kàn zhe gēn zōng zhǔ fēn shēn xǔ bái shí fēn xiāng sì de bái xiān shēng ， jù shì xiàn rù le dāi zhì zhī zhōng 。
他们安全的落在地面上，看着跟宗主分身许白十分相似的白先生，俱是陷入了呆滞之中。
Instantly, countless tentacles sprouted from its body, each carrying the aura of a beast spirit, lashing out in front.
jǔ shǒu tóu zú jiān ， jiù qīng yì jiāng tā men qín xià 。
举手投足间，就轻易将他们擒下。
-----------------
zhè děng shí lì ， yǐ jīng yuǎn yuǎn chāo chū le tā men de xiǎng xiàng 。
这等实力，已经远远超出了他们的想象。
There would be another chapter around 2:30 PM.
It seemed as if he was gazing into Mr. Bai's deep, piercing eyes.
Li Fan's heart stopped abruptly.
"Sure enough, my guess wasn't wrong! The first thing he would do after coming back to life is to get his hands on the [Truly Real]. " Li Fan, putting himself in Mr. Bai’s shoes, was frantically alerting his own spirit senses.
Thinking of that formidable powerhouse whose strength was equivalent to countless amalgamations of cultivation realms, he felt a massive pressure akin to black clouds pressing down upon him, making it hard for him to breathe.
Taking a deep breath and forcing himself to remain calm, Li Fan focused on the运转 of the Dao Crystal in his mind, contemplating any possible oversights in his preparations.
But he also knew that with such a significant disparity in strength, all his calculations would ultimately depend on luck!
"My fate must not be sealed!"
At this critical moment, without the support of [Truly Real], Li Fan felt his tension gradually dissipate. His mind became clear and devoid of distractions as he calmly pondered potential strategies.
"Although I lost the same-body感应 with Saint Embryo Xu Bai, perhaps this 'loss' is merely a one-way, simple shielding."
"There's no way to rule out the possibility that Mr. Bai can still sense my situation through his avatar Xu Bai or even by contaminating himself."
"So the first step is to send away the avatar Xu Bai in an attempt to sever and weaken our connection."

"And what next..."
Li Fan's brows furrowed as he continued to derive possible scenarios. He waited for Mr. Bai’s arrival but noticed that his speed seemed slower than expected.
After a full incense stick had passed, there was still no sign of him.
"Could it be that he went to find Dongfang Ya to remove the [Remnant Shadows]隐患 first?"
Li Fan's thoughts shifted as he checked and found that both Dongfang Ya and the Remnant Shadows were unharmed.
"Then where did he go?"
A hint of doubt flashed through his mind, but soon, he guessed a possible scenario. With Mr. Bai’s current strength, a Teleportation could easily breach spatial restrictions to arrive at the Immortal Valley.
But remember that Supreme Law Sovereign was still atop the dome, observing and monitoring Xuanhuang World.

Thus, it seemed likely that Mr. Bai used a method less conspicuous: "slowly walking in."
Of course, this "slow" was relative to Teleportation.
"Regardless, he should be here soon." Li Fan sat calmly at the center of his meditation room.
Meanwhile, avatar Xu Bai had quietly made its way to the entrance of the Immortal Valley.
---
Li Fan’s guess proved correct. Suddenly, a sealed spatial passage opened up.
The disciples from Medicine King Sect were taken aback as they approached to investigate but found no one there.
Just when they were puzzled,
a figure appeared in the Immortal Valley.
Before it could even stand still and speak, countless black煞气 burst forth like flying insects.
They transformed into a swarm of swords that slashed towards Mr. Bai!
Each strike was enough to severely wound a Cultivation Realm powerhouse!
"Yushan?!" Liu San’s shocked voice rang out.
Those countless black swords were cast by Jiang Yushan herself.
It was her ultimate technique, the [Mysterious and Unsettled Sword].
The sword intent, tainted with boundless煞气, could easily destroy one's body and soul with a single strike.
In normal circumstances, Jiang Yushan could only unleash up to a thousand sword intents at once, which was already pushing her limits.
But now, it seemed she had surpassed that limit.
Her entire body appeared as if it had numerous wounds splitting open, with blood flowing from all over, even from the corners of her eyes.
For a New Law cultivator, such injuries might not matter much, but for an Old Law cultivator, they were severe.
But Jiang Yushan ignored them.
Endless black swords continued to slash without rest.
Unyielding!
Though they didn't know who this mysterious figure was, seeing Jiang Yushan fight so desperately, how could Liu San just stand by?
" Fang Zaiji!" he bellowed, waking the still entranced old craftsman, Fang Zaiji.
He then struck out with both palms towards the green light.
A green glow rushed to Jiang Yushan, healing her wounds.
Another green light instantly transformed into countless threads, attempting to ensnare Mr. Bai.
Before these threads could reach Mr. Bai, a massive black hammer like a small mountain appeared above his head and was about to fall.
Three Cultivation Realms from Medicine King Sect were Li Fan’s first move.
Jiang Yushan's preemptive attack was due to the influence of the second [True Deception Fruit] she had ingested earlier. Following Xu Bai’s instructions, she launched an unyielding assault.
As long as Jiang Yushan was engaged in battle, Liu San couldn’t ignore her, and Fang Zaiji would likely join the fight.
Just one True Deception Fruit could drive three Cultivation Realms into combat.
Though Medicine King Sect's three Cultivation Realms were weaker than those of New Law cultivators,
three together certainly constituted formidable combat power.
---
However, Mr. Bai seemed to have anticipated their attack.
A gentle smile appeared on his face as he vanished from the midst of the black煞气, green threads, and black hammer.
Moving at a speed no one could see, he approached Liu San and others one by one.

Fragments scattered but were swallowed by a twisted, expanding mass of beast flesh.

Instantly, countless tentacles sprouted from its body, each carrying the aura of a beast spirit, lashing out in front.
