Chapter 1559: with translation of chapter title

Even if we manage to catch it, what good would it do? The thousand-footed myriad-poison dragon is no weaker than we are; if we really fight, it will be extremely troublesome.

Translation: "Even if we catch up to it, what then? The strength of that thousand-legged myriad-poison dragon is not inferior to ours; if we really fight, it will be very troublesome."

We need to keep it concise, single line.

What's more, he's just a remnant soul, yet he thinks he can command the thousand-footed myriad-poison dragon; he's delusional. In less than six months, the demon beast will surely turn on him.

Translation: "Moreover, he is merely a remnant soul, yet he wants to control the thousand-legged myriad-poison dragon—naive; within half a year he will surely be backlashed by the demon beast."

Lan Tiansheng spoke lightly; in his eyes, the dragon tamers were almost a dead end.

Translation: "Lan Tiansheng spoke lightly; in his eyes, the dragon-ridden people were almost a dead end."

Lan Tiansheng spoke lightly; in his eyes, the dragon tamers were almost a dead end.

While his flesh still lived, he could keep the thousand-footed myriad-poison dragon in check, but without his body, a mere remnant soul cannot hope to contain that wicked dragon—the dragon's poisonous vapors and deep-seated grudge are no joke.

Translation: "When his physical body was still present, he could suppress the thousand-legged myriad-poison dragon, but without his body, relying only on a remnant soul makes it impossible to restrain that evil dragon; the poisonous aura and resentment on the thousand-legged myriad-poison dragon are no pretence."

After years of torture and enslavement by the dragon tamers' clan, the demon soul is near breaking point. If it ever gets a chance, it will swallow the tamers' remnant souls without hesitation; when unsure, it will conceal itself, waiting for the decisive moment to deliver a killing strike.

Translation: "Tortured and enslaved for so many years by the dragon tamers' clan, the demon souls are near collapse; once it finds an opportunity, it will surely swallow the dragon tamers' remnant souls without hesitation, but when unsure, it will surely hide itself, waiting for the critical moment to strike a fatal blow."

Lan Tiansheng instantly read the thousand-footed myriad-poison dragon's intentions and understood the meaning behind its final glance as it left.

Translation: "Lan Tiansheng saw through the thousand-legged myriad-poison dragon's thoughts at a glance, and also knew the meaning of its gaze just before it left."

Diewumeng saw it too, so she halted Black Tiger and the Bee King from giving chase. Hearing her, they stopped, their anger fading into cold smirks.

Translation: "Diewumeng also saw it, which is why she stopped Black Tiger and Bee King from pursuing; hearing this, Black Tiger and Bee King both halted, the anger on their faces fading into cold smiles."

Humans think enslaving demon beasts is easy, but it's not; the dragon tamers' clan will ultimately entrap themselves.

Translation: "\"Hum, humans wanting to enslave demon beasts—how easy could that be? The dragon tamers' clan will surely end up binding themselves. \""

Such people got what they deserved, even in death.

"Such people deserve death even if they die."

Black Tiger spoke coldly, feeling no fondness for the dragon tamers' clan—indeed, he wished they were all dead. Had their headquarters not been outside Cangzhou, he would have already led a force to exterminate them.

Translation: "Black Tiger spoke coldly, having no fondness for the dragon tamers' clan at all, even wishing they all die; if the dragon tamers' clan's main base weren't in Cangzhou, Black Tiger would have long led people to exterminate them."

The Bee King spoke slowly, his eyes deepening: "The dragon tamers' clan—death is no great loss for them."

Translation: "\"The dragon tamers' clan—death is no loss. \" Bee King spoke slowly, his eyes becoming deep."

The danger has passed, for now.

Translation: "This crisis temporarily dissipated."

All right, let's clear the area and stay alert—humans won't let this go. Thanks, everyone. Diewumeng waved her hand, handing out a bottle of elixir to each as her gratitude.

Translation: "\"Alright, hurry up and clean the scene, stay on guard; the human side probably won't give up. This time, thank you all. \" Diewumeng waved her hand, giving each person a bottle of pills as her thanks."

Bai Xinlan took the elixir without excitement—the bottle and the medicine were both familiar. She thought, "As expected, Diewumeng and the Qinglong Daoist have teamed up; they've finished the deal."

Translation: "Bai Xinlan received the pills, not excited; the bottle was familiar, the pills familiar, she thought to herself: \"Sure enough, Diewumeng and Qinglong Daoist have become involved; they completed the transaction. \""

Lan Tiansheng recognized the elixir too, kept quiet, pocketed it, and disappeared at once.

Translation: "Lan Tiansheng also recognized the pills, made no fuss, after putting them away he instantly vanished."

It was the first time Black Tiger and the Bee King had obtained an elixir; they were stunned. Upon inspecting it, their faces shifted, and they swiftly stashed it away.

Translation: "Black Tiger and Bee King obtained the pills for the first time, both astonished; after examining the pills, their expressions changed, and they quickly put them away."

Their looks at Diewumeng shifted, yet they said nothing and simply departed quietly.

Translation: "Their gazes toward Diewumeng changed, but they did not ask directly, instead leaving in silence."

Diewumeng saw them off and stood alone. Meanwhile, Jiang Tiangsheng had already arrived outside the Mangshan Mountains; as soon as the myriad-poison salamander showed up, he left at once, unwilling to stay.

Translation: "Diewumeng saw them off, then stood alone; as for Jiang Tiansheng, he had already arrived outside the Mangshan Mountain Range, and when the myriad-poison salamander appeared, he immediately left, daring not to linger."

The Corpse Refining Sect's top corpse general is Jiang Tiangsheng—he's extremely careful.

Translation: "\"Corpse Refining Sect, the first corpse commander Jiang Tiansheng—this person is very cautious. \""

We didn't manage to detain him this time; we'll have to look for a chance to kill him later.

Translation: "\"This time we failed to detain him; next time we must find an opportunity to kill him. \""

Diewumeng looked out, sensed Jiang Tiangsheng's presence, but held back, opting to watch.

Translation: "Diewumeng looked outward, sensed Jiang Tiansheng's aura, did not act, but chose to observe."

Beyond the Mangshan Mountains.

Translation: "Outside the Mangshan Mountain Range."

Jiang Tiangsheng, the first corpse general, turned and locked eyes with Diewumeng, offering a solemn smile.

Translation: "The first corpse commander Jiang Tiansheng turned his head, locking eyes with Diewumeng, and gave a solemn smile."

Diewumeng.

Translation: "\"Diewumeng. \""

And the demon kings of the Mangshan Demon Palace are truly formidable.

Translation: "\"And those demon kings of the Mangshan Demon Palace are indeed not easy to deal with. \""

We failed this time; the next attempt could be even more difficult.

Translation: "This time we didn't succeed; next time may be even harder."

Diewumeng's cultivation has stalled at that point, but she'll soon break through—and that'll be when she strikes.

Translation: "Diewumeng's cultivation was stuck at that step; soon she would step through it, and that would be the time for him to act."

The next time you face your tribulation will be your doom.

Translation: "\"Next time, when you undergo your tribulation, will be your downfall. \""

Reaching the tribulation realm requires enduring the tribulation; when that happens, the Mangshan Mountains will buzz with activity again, and he won't back down.

Translation: "The Tribulation Realm requires undergoing tribulation; then the Mangshan Mountain Range will become lively again, and he will not relent."

He has to go into Dragon Serpent Mountain.

Translation: "Longshe Shan, he must enter."

He needs to get both Lian Hongchen and the black wooden coffin.

Translation: "He must obtain both Hongchen and the black wood coffin."

That day is coming soon.

Translation: "\"Soon, that day will arrive. \""

The Corpse Refining Sect awaits, the Heaven's Capital Gate awaits, and the Chichen Sect does too.

Translation: "The Corpse Refining Sect is waiting, the Tian Du Men is waiting, and the Chichen Sect as well."

Chichen Sect.

Many far-off sects are also waiting for that day; the dragon tamers' clan has taken a heavy blow this time and will surely not back down, so the Mangshan Mountains will surely bustle with activity then.

Translation: "Furthermore, those distant sects are also awaiting this day; the dragon tamers' clan suffered a major loss this time, they will surely not relent, and by then the Mangshan Mountain Range will surely be very lively."

After Jiang Tiangsheng departed, the distant ground bulged into a mound, and then a coffin emerged.

Translation: "After Jiang Tiansheng left, a bulge rose on the distant ground, and then a coffin appeared."

Lian Hongchen shoved open the coffin lid, fixed his gaze on Jiang Tiangsheng's departing figure, and sneered, "Jiang Tiangsheng, Corpse Refining Sect—they're indeed waiting for that day."

Translation: "Hongchen pushed open the coffin lid, staring at Jiang Tiansheng's retreating back, and sneered: \"Jiang Tiansheng, Corpse Refining Sect—they really are waiting for that day to come. \""

If they all show up in the Mangshan Mountains, maybe that's my chance—inside the Corpse Refining Sect, right?

Translation: "\"If they all come to Mangshan Mountain Range, perhaps that is my opportunity—inside the Corpse Refining Sect, isn't it? \""

Lian Hongchen wishes to enter the Corpse Refining Sect, but he needs the right moment—going now would be a death sentence, not a task.

Translation: "Hongchen wants to enter the Corpse Refining Sect, but must find a suitable moment; going now would be to court death, not to undertake a mission."

Only after everyone has left the Corpse Refining Sect will she have a chance to go in—but that hardly ever happens.

Translation: "Waiting until they all leave the Corpse Refining Sect would be her chance to enter, but such a situation rarely occurs."

Unless a bigger threat forces them to hold back, the promotion of the new demon king of the Mangshan Demon Palace, Diewumeng, presents that chance. She must grab it—now she needs to creep closer to the Corpse Refining Sect, then lie low and wait for the right moment.

Translation: "Unless a greater threat arises, forcing them to refrain from acting; the advancement of the new demon king of Mangshan Demon Palace, Diewumeng, is that opportunity—she must seize it; now she needs to draw slightly closer to the Corpse Refining Sect, then lie in wait for the moment."

The coffin slowly descended underground and then started to shift.

Translation: "The coffin gradually entered the ground, then began to move."

Within the Heaven's Capital Gate.

Translation: "Inside the Tian Du Men."

The Immortal True Person and his companions returned to the sect, having received word from the Mangshan Mountains; the Holy Maiden Bai Zhongsheng and the Immortal True Person stayed silent.

Translation: "Wu Mie Zhenren and the others returned to the sect, receiving news from Mangshan Mountain Range; Bai Hang Holy Maiden and Wu Mie Zhenren both remained silent."

After a moment, the Holy Maiden Bai Zhongsheng said, "Master, they're really daring—messing with the Mangshan Demon Palace now is practically suicide."

Translation: "After a moment, Bai Hang Holy Maiden spoke: \"Master, they are truly bold—provoking the Mangshan Demon Palace at this time, isn't that courting death? \""

The dragon tamers' clan avenges every slight; their territory fell in the Mangshan Mountains, yet they haven't learned and are invading again—this time they'll probably lose many.

Translation: "\"The dragon tamers' clan repays grudges; their dragon tamers' land fell in Mangshan Mountain Range, yet they still don't learn pain and want to invade again—this time likely many have perished. \""

They've also enlisted the Six-Eyed Demon King and Jiang Tiangsheng—showing just how mighty the dragon tamers' clan is, able to persuade even the Six-Eyed Demon King of the Myriad Demon Hall.

Translation: "\"They even roped in the Six-Eyed Demon King and Jiang Tiansheng together; the dragon tamers' clan's influence is truly great—even the Six-Eyed Demon King of the Myriad Demon Hall can be persuaded. \""

The Immortal True Person said, "The Six-Eyed Demon King of the Myriad Demon Hall has always opposed Zhang Mang; before, he kept trying to take the Mangshan Mountains, but Zhang Mang drove him back, so he dared not act. When he heard Zhang Mang had died, the Six-Eyed Demon King resurfaced, aiming to seize the Mangshan Mountains."

Translation: "Wu Mie Zhenren explained: \"The Six-Eyed Demon King of the Myriad Demon Hall has always been at odds with Zhang Mang; previously they continually sought to seize Mangshan Mountain Range, but Zhang Mang repelled them, so they dared not think otherwise; hearing of Zhang Mang's death, the Six-Eyed Demon King rolled back, wanting to control Mangshan Mountain Range. \""

He's truly naive—there's still a tribulation-realm master lurking in the Mangshan Mountains.

Translation: "\"He is truly naive; within Mangshan Mountain Range there is still a Tribulation Realm expert. \""

Besides, Diewumeng is on the verge of breaking through—once she does, things will get lively.

Translation: "\"Moreover, Diewumeng is about to step into that realm; when that happens, it will get lively. \""

Hearing this, the Holy Maiden Bai Zhongsheng exclaimed in alarm, "Master, are you saying Diewumeng will soon reach the tribulation realm?"

Translation: "Bai Hang Holy Maiden, hearing this, exclaimed in alarm: \"Master, are you saying Diewumeng will soon advance to the Tribulation Realm? \""

Exactly—she's only one step away. The Immortal True Person lauded, "Diewumeng's talent outshines even Zhang Mang's; if she takes that step, our Heaven's Capital Gate could be in trouble."

Translation: "\"Quite right, she's just one step away. \" Wu Mie Zhenren praised: \"Diewumeng's talent surpasses Zhang Mang's; if she steps through, our Tian Du Men may well run into trouble. \""

"Master, should we act then?" the Holy Maiden Bai Zhongsheng thought, unwilling to let this happen; she must stop Diewumeng from breaking through.

Translation: "\"Master, should we then act? \" Bai Hang Holy Maiden inwardly did not want to see this happen, and must prevent her breakthrough."

The Immortal True Person shook his head: "Bai Zhongsheng, that's not for you to decide; when the time comes, the sect leader will make the call."

Translation: "Wu Mie Zhenren shook his head: \"Bai Hang, this isn't something you should worry about; when the time comes, the sect master will decide. \""

"Your duty right now is to train hard; you don't need to concern yourself with anything else."

Translation: "\"Your current task is to cultivate diligently; other matters you need not concern yourself with. \""

The Holy Maiden Bai Zhongsheng bowed and said, "Master, I understand; I will not let you down."

Translation: "Bai Hang Holy Maiden bowed: \"Master, I understand; I will certainly not disappoint you. \""

This time she acquired a substantial amount of elixirs; this batch is enough to raise her cultivation by an entire realm. Yet the Bai Heng Saintess lacks the time, for the situation in Cangzhou changes too swiftly, making prolonged cultivation impossible.

Translation: "This time she obtained many pills; this batch is enough to raise her cultivation by a major realm. Bai Hang Holy Maiden lacks time, but the situation in Cangzhou changes too rapidly to allow prolonged cultivation."

Cangzhou, undercurrents surging.
