original.

Translate: "Among the younger generation, his strength leads the pack, yet he soundly outshines the other Holy Sons—yet he cannot feel happy, for the Azure Heaven Sect's situation grows ever more difficult. Located in Lingzhou, though it is a relatively peripheral region, it is still Lingzhou."

original.

Translate: "The Azure Heaven Sect knows and is involved in all matters within Lingzhou, except it has not participated in the affairs concerning Cangzhou, for the distance from here to Cangzhou is too great; to go there would be equivalent to crossing the entirety of Lingzhou."

original.

Translate: "From one end to the other, one must pass through the Myriad Demon Hall's Ten Thousand Great Mountains; of course, one could also detour from the other side, merely a bit farther. There are teleportation formations that could let them cross this distance, but they lack the technique and strength, for such formations consume too much power, and setting one up is prohibitively costly. The Azure Heaven Sect could afford it, yet no one can set it up."

original.

Translate: "Even if someone were found to set up a teleportation formation, it could not be done quickly. In short, Lingzhou is oppressed by the Myriad Demon Hall, making life difficult, and the Azure Heaven Sect is also affected. Previously, they would watch other forces clash with the Myriad Demon Hall from the sidelines."

original.

Translate: "The Heavenly Heart Sect came to the door, directly seeking the Sect Master, Venerable Azure Heaven, to talk about the matter concerning the Myriad Demon Hall. Although the Azure Heaven Sect lies on the periphery, its faction's strength is not weak; indeed, it is even stronger than the Dragonherd Clan."

Translate: "One reason is their position on the edge of Lingzhou; the other is the endless sea, which harbors aquatic races far more terrifying and frenzied than those found in the martial world."

check.

original.

Translate: "Moreover, these aquatic races occasionally come ashore to seek trouble with humans; the Azure Heaven Sect is the sect stationed here, tasked with blocking them—such is their duty—so most matters do not seek them out, and affairs within Lingzhou are resolved locally."

check.

original.

Translate: "The Myriad Demon Hall will not move against the Azure Heaven Sect, for they do not wish to replace its role of guarding Lingzhou's edge and resisting the aquatic races—a task that demands a great cost and massive manpower, which the Myriad Demon Hall cannot spare; other factions lack the manpower as well."

original.

Translate: "Most of those sent here meet a grim fate; only a few return. This place can be said to be a land of exile, where any sect's criminals are sent—death counts as a contribution to Lingzhou, while those who return alive become the sect's key cultivation targets."

Translate: "Biluo Chun personally saw Elder Minghu off; he did not know what they discussed. Soon, Venerable Azure Heaven summoned him into the Dadian, and Biluo Chun dared not delay, nor refuse, entering at once."

original.

Translate: "\"Biluo Chun, this time the Heavenly Heart Sect's Elder Minghu has come seeking cooperation. You know well the situation in Lingzhou: the Myriad Demon Hall dominates, its strength has been growing year by year, its ambitions are clear—it seeks to control all of Lingzhou. \""

original.

Translate: "\"Our Azure Heaven Sect is also involved, but we cannot allow the Myriad Demon Hall to control Lingzhou. Thus Elder Minghu has come in person, hoping to join forces with us to weaken the Myriad Demon Hall's strength. \""

original.

Translate: "\"A fragment of the Myriad Demon Hall's Kunpeng Guardian went to Cangzhou's Mangshan Mountain Range, where it was hunted down. Its true form will soon be unable to remain still, and it will surely come for revenge. The Heavenly Heart Sect's Elder Minghu means that our human factions should join forces with Cangzhou's powers to hunt down the Kunpeng Guardian together, dealing a heavy blow to the Myriad Demon Hall. \""

check.

original.

Translate: "\"The Kunpeng Guardian is mighty, not easy to slay, but he is severely wounded—a fine opportunity. If several factions dispatch forces to assassinate him, coordinating with Cangzhou's people to kill him outright, then after success the alliance will disband automatically. What do you think? \""

Translate: "Venerable Azure Heaven inquired of this disciple, thinking highly of him. Biluo Chun has been to Cangzhou and Mangshan Mountain Range, familiar with the area; the Venerable's first thought was to have him lead a group there."

check.

original.

Translate: "Biluo Chun sensed the Master's deeper intent and asked, \"Master, if I lead a few disciples, would that not be insufficient? Even wounded, the Kunpeng Guardian remains a Tribulation Realm entity; within that realm it could crush us. I tremble, daring not to accept this task. \""

Translate: "\"I certainly won't let you strike at the Kunpeng Guardian—with your strength you can't even get close, let alone kill him. \" Venerable Azure Heaven waved his hand; a jade slip appeared before him and floated gently to Biluo Chun."

original.

Translate: "Biluo Chun caught the jade slip, put it away, and said, \"Master, you must act when the time comes. \""

check.

original.

Translate: "\"Rest assured, I too wish to slay the Kunpeng Guardian. This man is dangerous; last time he invaded our Azure Heaven Sect's territory and exterminated the Black Water True Dragon clan, denying us face. This time, I will certainly kill him, even if it costs us something, to see him fall. \""

Translate: "\"The Myriad Demon Hall has acted outrageously these years; it's time to cut down their arrogance. \" Venerable Azure Heaven grew angry; the Myriad Demon Hall's people are domineering and have long oppressed them."

Translate: "\"I understand, Master, rest assured. I will infiltrate Cangzhou unseen by the Myriad Demon Hall's people. Master, I suggest I go alone this time; bringing others would only make detection easier. \" Biluo Chun proposed, not wishing his secret to be discovered by others."

Yes, Master. Biluochun clasped his hands.
