Hu Lei mocked, saying: "Hmph, the thoughts turning in your pitiful head are truly as expected."

"You already knew?"

Just a quote: "You already knew?" No speaker indicated. Keep as is: "You already knew?" We'll output that.

"Not bad, because no one understands the value that death can bring better than the Bu Li people. And someone like you, a medic accustomed to death, cannot be deterred by simple fear." Hu Lei calmly shook his head: "Truly a pity. At the moment I finished hearing this story, a hint of respect for you actually rose in my heart."

Let's craft: "Not bad, because no one understands the value that death can bring better than the Bu Li people. And someone like you, a medic accustomed to death, cannot be deterred by simple fear." Hu Lei calmly shook his head: "Truly a pity. At the moment I finished hearing this story, a hint of respect for you actually rose in my heart."

Check: we kept all info.

Jiao Qiu looked at him contemptuously: "In your heart that pumps poisonous blood… would respect for such a feeling also arise?"

"Of course, because I faintly caught the scent of my own kind. Too bad, you're ultimately just a weak, powerless fox. As the wolf's ancient teaching says: grant the wolf a desperate path, and it will find its way forward; feed the wolf with death counts, and it will eat its fill; seeking ease and comfort leaves no place to live; fighting to the death ensures eternal survival."

Translate: "Of course, because I faintly caught the scent of my own kind. Alas, you are ultimately just a weak, powerless fox. As the Ancient Wolf Precepts say: Grant the wolf a desperate path, and it will find its way forward; feed the wolf a death toll, and it will eat its fill to survive. To seek petty comfort is to find no place to live; to fight to the death is to endure for eternity." Need to keep quotes and colon.

"This is also why I'm keeping you alive for now—I'll show you the Bu Li people's utmost respect for their enemies: devouring your flesh and blood to nourish our bones and sinews, crushing your visions, opening our hunting paths; so that your dead souls may witness that the future belongs to me!"

Translate: "This is also why I have kept you alive for now—I will show you the Bu Li people's utmost respect for their enemies: devouring your flesh and blood to nourish our sinews and bones, crushing your visions, opening our hunting paths; so that your dead souls may witness, the future belongs to me!" Need to keep punctuation.

Mo Du came running over in a fluster, lowering his voice: "Sir! The compatriots responsible for rendezvous have sent word—the arrangements at Hui Xing Port have been discovered; we must set out immediately!"

"This also wasn't beyond my expectations."

Translate: "None of this was beyond my expectations."

Hu Lei's words had barely fallen when the distant sky transmitted the sound of a "Boom" salute. He immediately became alert: "Mo Du… what is that sound?"

"It's the Jian Feng warship. The star vessel holding the martial demonstration ceremony is about to set sail. Damn it, the Heavenly Shipping Bureau will clear the routes then! Our star raft trying to escape will surely be discovered."

"Stay calm, Mo Du! Look at yourself—hiding here and there, heart in your throat… where's any trace of Bu Li dignity left?"

Translate: "Stay calm, Mo Du! Look at yourself now—hiding here and there, heart in your throat… where is there even a shred of Bu Li people's dignity?" Need to keep ellipsis.

Facing Hu Lei's scolding, Mo Du also uncharacteristically hardened his tone, shouting: "I've said it before—for you to return smoothly, I don't need any dignity! As long as you can return to the Bu Li people's hunting pack, there's still hope!"

Translate: Facing Hu Lei's reprimand, Mo Du also uncharacteristically hardened his tone, shouting loudly: "I've said it before—for you to return smoothly, I need no dignity! As long as you can return to the Bu Li people's hunting pack, there is still hope!" Need to keep quotes.

"Hope? The Bu Li people have long forgotten the wolf's ancient teaching!" Hu Lei looked at Mo Du, feeling only frustration at his lack of resolve: "A weak beast pins its hope on the protection of the strong; a strong beast forges its own bloody path."

Translate: "Hope? The Bu Li people have long forgotten the Ancient Wolf Precepts!" Hu Lei looked at Mo Du's appearance, only feeling anger at his lack of fight: "Weak beasts pin their hopes on the protection of the strong; strong beasts carve out a bloody path for themselves." Need to keep brackets.

"All you want now is to welcome back Hu Lei, not to choose a new leader—this already proves the decline of your whole clan. And that prophet who orchestrated your rescue of me is merely a charlatan trying to exploit the Azure-blooded descendants!"

Translate: "All you want now is to welcome back Hu Lei, not to choose a new master—this already proves the decline of your entire clan. And the strategist who orchestrated your coming to rescue me is merely a charlatan trying to exploit the Dulan Bloodline." Need to keep brackets.

This line is just a separator? It's a line with three em dashes. We need to output translation. Probably just "——". Keep as is.

Spirit Cage

"I've figured it out—the true orthodox Azure-blooded descendant should be Scott."

Translate: "I've figured it out—the true orthodox Dulan Bloodline should be Si Ke Te." Need to use exact glossary term: Si Ke Te.

"Hey, you really shouldn't say that…" Xu Tong stroked his chin, thinking carefully, and it really does seem to be the case—Scott, aside from not looking like a Bu Li person, in every other way his personality fits Hu Lei's requirements quite well."

After all, even his own father and friends could be betrayed; with this ruthless, cunning, and vicious approach, probably few Bu Li people could pull it off.

Translate: "After all, even his own father and friends could be sold out; with this ruthless, merciless, and underhanded style, probably few Bu Li people could manage it."

Hu Lei had long realized his clan was beyond saving—no, wait, it was when he saw his clansmen choose to rescue him and return to continue as war chief that he knew it was hopeless. Xia Dou let out a light sigh, not knowing whether he felt pity for Hu Lei.

"To be honest, setting aside Hu Lei's bloodthirsty nature and his enmity with the fox people, he's indeed a formidable leader. But if those Bu Li lackeys don't come to rescue him, he'll remain imprisoned and tortured; if they do come to rescue him, it shows the Bu Li people are already on the brink of collapse—talk about being stuck between a rock and a hard place."

Translate: "To be honest, setting aside Hu Lei's bloodthirsty nature and his enmity with the fox folk, he is indeed a formidable boss. But if those Bu Li lackeys didn't come to rescue him, he'd keep being imprisoned and tortured; rescuing him would show the Bu Li people are fast heading toward ruin—truly a double bind." Need to keep quotes.

"But the Bu Li people's decline is mainly thanks to Feixiao." Sui Xing said, "If the Bu Li people were willing to wait a bit, wait a few decades for Feixiao's moon to go berserk, perhaps their hell would end."

"Perhaps when facing the previous general, the Bu Li people had the same thought." Shan Da raised a finger to remind: "It's not easy to wait until the Fang Hu Great Battle, when the Moon-governing General dies in combat, only for a Flying Sky General who understands them even better to show up. I'd say, the Bu Li people trying to hide can't escape; once they develop the emotion of 'fear' and try to avoid the general's sharp edge, they are doomed."

Again separator.

"Mo Du, let me tell you how the Bu Li people will rise! We will absolutely not hide like rats in the streets of the Immortal Vessel; you should be a wolf baring its fangs, walking among a flock full of lambs."

Mo Du still hadn't caught on, still trying to persuade Hu Lei: "War Chief Lord, our wolf pack isn't here! We can't just start a war!"

"The wolf pack isn't here?"

Translate: "The wolf pack isn't here?" Keep quotes.

Hu Lei snorted coldly, turning his gaze to the fox-person prisoner detained in the small courtyard, and stepped closer step by step.

"No, everywhere I go belongs to the wolf pack!"

Translate: "No, wherever I go, is wolf territory!" Need quotes.

In the instant his words fell, Hu Lei lunged onto a fox-person prisoner, his sharp fangs instantly piercing the prisoner's neck!

Translate: The instant his words fell, Hu Lei had already lunged onto a fox-person prisoner, his sharp fangs instantly piercing the victim's neck!

The fox-person's body began to change violently, his bones all over emitting a "crack-crack" sound, like the interior of an old house collapsing and rebuilding; his body started to twist, his shoulder blades protruding backward, his skin turning bluish-black… under Jiao Qiu's unwilling gaze, that fox-person turned into a Bu Li person in just a moment!

"Mo Du, we are the top predators of the food chain. As wolves, we are the creators of fear, not its slaves. If you cannot see the road, I will become a hanging scarlet moon, illuminating the path for you——"

"Let's all share my crimson blood together, using it to infect the fox people and to create fear!"

Translate: "Together with all my brothers, share my crimson blood, using it to infect the fox folk, using it to manufacture fear!" Need quotes.

Demon Slayer

This is a fan-fiction name. We'll translate as "Demon Slayer". Or keep as is? I'll translate meaning: "Demon Slayer". Let's do that.

"Transforming into one's own kind… he actually has the same ability as that lord."

Translate: "Turning into one's own kind…… actually has the same ability as that lord." Need to keep ellipsis.

Yi Wo Zuo muttered quietly, but the next second he himself seemed to self‑negate, shaking his head. Lord Wu Can's transformation of demons grants power, grants eternal life as a "blessing"—although this blessing carries a curse, a fear of sunlight, and the instinct to devour humans. Yet essentially it is also a "promotion": he has henceforth discarded his fragile human body, gaining almost limitless time to pursue the pinnacle of martial skill.

However, he actually greatly admired Hu Lei's governing style—this is the mindset a hunter should have. Only after seeing Hu Lei did Yi Wo Zuo realize that the Bu Li people could also be this strong.

"It would be great if this guy could become the leader of the demons…"

Translate: "It would be great if this guy could become the leader of the demons……" Need ellipsis.

As soon as the words left his mouth, Yi Wo Zuo felt a chill run through him—he almost forgot that the lord could sense their consciousness, so he quickly clapped a hand over his mouth and dismissed that disrespectful thought.

Translate: The moment those words left his mouth, Yi Wo Zuo felt a chill run through his body; he almost forgot that the lord could sense their consciousness, and hastily clapped his hands over his mouth, quickly dispelling that irreverent thought.

Oh dear? What are you saying, Lord Yiwazuo? I think I heard the four words 'leader of the ghosts'~
