The line: "The Red-eyed Corpse General chimed in: 'Sect Master, the Undying Senior Brother makes sense; our Corpse Refining Sect is at a life‑and‑death point; the Tian Du Dragon King is acting personally, and Diewumeng has also shown up this time—it's clear they're all unhappy with what we've done; if they join forces, our sect will barely survive.'" No Chinese.

Translate: "Red-eyed Corpse General echoed, saying: 'Sect Master, what the Undying Senior Brother said is reasonable; our Corpse Refining Sect has reached a matter of life and death; Tian Du Dragon King personally acts, and Diewumeng also came this time; it's obvious they are dissatisfied with our actions; once they unite, our Corpse Refining Sect will find survival difficult.'"

Golden Armor Corpse crossed his arms and said, 'Sect Master, this matter could be big or small; we and Lingzhou should also cut ties; continuing to entangle with them, it's very likely?'

So: "Golden Armor Corpse crossed his arms and said: 'Sect Master, this matter could be big or small; we and Lingzhou should also cut ties; continuing to entangle with them, it's very likely will?'" Might be awkward. Better: "Sect Master, this matter could be big or small; we and Lingzhou should also cut ties; continuing to entangle with them, it's very likely..." We'll keep the question mark at end: "very likely?" We'll translate: "Sect Master, this matter could be big or small; we and Lingzhou should also cut ties; continuing to entangle with them, it's very likely?" We'll keep the original tone.

Thus: "Golden Armor Corpse crossed his arms and said: 'Sect Master, this matter could be big or small; we and Lingzhou should also cut ties; continuing to entangle with them, it's very likely?'"

line: "Lingzhou wants to invade and seize Cangzhou, but Tian Du Men will surely oppose it." No Chinese.

No Chinese.

Translate: "Such behavior is unacceptable; we must cut ties early, otherwise Tian Du Men and the Mangshan Demon Palace will truly unite, and their Corpse Refining Sect will not be a match; the reason the Corpse Refining Sect has been able to exist until now is not because Tian Du Men needs them, needs them to resist and consume the Mangshan Demon Palace; it's a pity, they took the wrong path, chose to betray Cangzhou."

'We've ended up here, Jiang Tian Sheng—why did you provoke Diewumeng and the Tian Du Dragon King? Neither of them is someone you want to mess with.'

Translate: "'After all, we've come to this point, Jiang Tian Sheng, Jiang Tian Sheng, why did you provoke Diewumeng and the Tian Du Dragon King? These two are not to be trifled with.'"

The Corpse Refining Sect's reckless actions have ultimately put them in danger; they had hoped to weaken Tian Du Men and completely silence the Mangshan Demon Palace, then seize the chance to grow and replace both.

Translate: "The Corpse Refining Sect's self-destructive behavior ultimately put itself in danger; originally they thought they could weaken Tian Du Men, completely silence the Mangshan Demon Palace, then their Corpse Refining Sect could seize the opportunity to develop, and then replace Tian Du Men, replace the Mangshan Demon Palace."

Translate: "Tian Du True Person quickly received the news, saw the Tian Du Dragon King return, everyone breathed a sigh of relief."

'Your Excellency, Dragon King, you've finally made it back.' The Tian Du True Person went to meet him, saw the Tian Du Dragon King was uninjured, and let out a relieved breath.

Translate: "'Dragon King, you've finally returned.' Tian Du True Person went to greet him, seeing the Tian Du Dragon King unharmed, he couldn't help but exhale."

The Emei True Person and the Wu Mie True Person also got the news, so they weren't especially worried.

Translate: "Emei True Person and Wu Mie Zhenren were the same; they also received the news, naturally not so worried."

'You didn't run into any danger this time, did you?' asked the Wu Mie True Person.

Translate: "'This time, you didn't encounter danger, right?' Wu Mie Zhenren asked."

The Tian Du Dragon King shook his head: 'No, it's just a low‑level corpse general; killing it casually isn't worth mentioning. But as for the Corpse Refining Sect, you need to keep an eye on them and keep weakening their power.'

Translate: "Tian Du Dragon King shook his head: 'No, just a mere Corpse General, slaughtered offhand, not worth mentioning; however, regarding the Corpse Refining Sect side, you must continue to watch, constantly weakening their strength.'"

'The Corpse Refining Sect dares to betray Cangzhou and collude with Lingzhou; they must pay a heavy price. I've teamed up with the Mangshan Demon Palace, Diewumeng also wants to wipe out the Corpse Refining Sect, and Tian Du Men will act directly against them—the risk is significant; you can join forces with Diewumeng to destroy the Corpse Refining Sect together.'

Translate: "'The Corpse Refining Sect dares to betray Cangzhou, colluding with Lingzhou, they must pay a heavy price; this operation, I have cooperated with the Mangshan Demon Palace side, Diewumeng also wants to annihilate the Corpse Refining Sect, we Tian Du Men will directly act against the Corpse Refining Sect, the risk is not small; you can cooperate with Diewumeng to together annihilate the Corpse Refining Sect.'"

'Also, the Accumulated Dust Sect is probably interested too; handle this matter yourselves.'

Translate: "'Also, the Accumulated Dust Sect side likely is interested; this matter, leave it to you to handle.'"

The Corpse Refining Sect can't stay; the Tian Du Dragon King finds it disgusting, and such a sect shouldn't be allowed to remain.

Translate: "The Corpse Refining Sect cannot remain; the Tian Du Dragon King feels the Corpse Refining Sect is disgusting; such a faction cannot remain."

'No problem, Your Excellency Dragon King.' The Tian Du True Person nodded, saying, 'I'll take care of it—no worries.'

Translate: "'No problem, Dragon King.' Tian Du True Person nodded, saying: 'I will handle this matter well, guarantee no problem.'"

Actually, the Tian Du True Person had wanted to destroy the Corpse Refining Sect for a while; earlier, the Tian Du Dragon King hadn't recovered yet, so he didn't dare to act.

Translate: "Actually, Tian Du True Person had long wanted to annihilate the Corpse Refining Sect; previously the Tian Du Dragon King had not yet recovered, so he dared not act."

Now it's their turn to act; the Corpse Refining Sect's past deeds have made him furious, and it's time for them to get their revenge.

Translate: "Nowadays, when it's their turn to act, the Corpse Refining Sect's past actions have made him angry, and it's time for them to face retribution."

This time, the Mangshan Demon Palace, the Accumulated Dust Sect, and other sects unite, along with the families below, to jointly destroy the Corpse Refining Sect, share its remnants, and give up only a little benefit—ensuring the Corpse Refining Sect is totally annihilated; the deal is worthwhile.

Translate: "This time, uniting the Mangshan Demon Palace and Accumulated Dust Sect, three sects acting together, plus those families below, can join forces to annihilate the Corpse Refining Sect, share the Corpse Refining Sect, paying only a little benefit, ensuring the Corpse Refining Sect's total annihilation; this deal is not a loss."

'Then it's up to you; I'm going back to rest.' The Tian Du Dragon King waved his hand, signaling they don't need to follow him.

Translate: "'Then I'll leave it to you; I, the King, am going back to rest.' Tian Du Dragon King waved his hand, indicating they need not follow."

The Wu Mie True Person asked, 'Senior Brother, are we really going to move against the Corpse Refining Sect?'

Translate: "Wu Mie Zhenren asked: 'Senior Brother, really want to act against the Corpse Refining Sect?'"

'What do you mean? Junior Sister Wu Mie, do you have any better ideas?' the Tian Du True Person asked, smiling.

Translate: "'How about it, Undying Junior Sister, do you have any higher opinions?' Tian Du True Person asked with a smile."

The Wu Mie True Person shook his head: 'No, but Senior Brother, Junior Sister warns you that the Corpse Refining Sect isn't simple—you can't take them down quickly. Her advice is to gradually surround and eliminate them, beginning with attacking their disciples, then slowly throwing the Corpse Refining Sect into chaos.'

Translate: "Wu Mie Zhenren shook his head: 'No, but Senior Brother, Junior Sister reminds you: the Corpse Refining Sect is not simple; trying to take them down quickly is unlikely; Junior Sister's suggestion is to gradually encircle and kill them, starting by acting against the Corpse Refining Sect's disciples, then gradually plunging the Corpse Refining Sect into turmoil.'"

'Let them turn on each other, then we'll move in.'

Translate: "'Let them fight among themselves, then we will act.'"

The Emei True Person concurred: 'Senior Brother, I think we should be more cautious; the Corpse Refining Sect is quite odd, their tactics aren't simple, so we need to plan for the long term.'

Translate: "Emei True Person agreed: 'Senior Brother, I also think being more prudent is better; the Corpse Refining Sect is very strange, their methods are not simple, need long-term planning.'"

The Tian Du True Person nodded: 'Both junior sisters are correct; leave this to you two—step by step, hunt down the Corpse Refining Sect's disciples, put them on the back foot, throw them into internal turmoil; ideally, let them turn on each other.'

Translate: "Tian Du True Person nodded: 'Both Junior Sisters are right; leave this matter to you two to handle, step by step hunt the Corpse Refining Sect's disciples, plunging them into passivity, into internal chaos; best, let them fight among themselves.'"

'The Corpse Refining Sect isn't a united bloc; a little maneuvering can easily split them.'

Translate: "'The Corpse Refining Sect's interior is not a monolith; using a little means, it's still easy to divide them.'"

'No problem, Senior Brother, just look at Junior Sister.' The Emei True Person nodded eagerly; she loves doing this—hunting the weak—and it gets her excited.

Translate: "'No problem, Senior Brother, look at Junior Sister.' Emei True Person nodded excitedly; she most enjoys doing this, hunting the weak, which excites her."

Wu Mie Zhenren gave a bitter smile; the Emei senior sister had agreed—could she refuse?
