Chapter 1297

The one-eyed strongman had no intention of releasing anyone; with Ye Zhangqing in his hand, he appeared utterly fearless.

Translate: "The one-eyed burly man had no intention of releasing anyone; with Ye Zhangqing in his grasp, he appeared completely fearless."

Note: "had no intention of releasing anyone", "with Ye Zhangqing in his hand", and "he appeared completely fearless". Use Ye Zhangqing.

Thus: 【1】 The one-eyed burly man had no intention of releasing anyone; with Ye Zhangqing in his grasp, he appeared completely fearless.

The space pirates boarded the star void battleship, confirmed there was no danger, and nodded at the one-eyed strongman.

Note: there is a typo; the character should be "danger". We'll translate it as "danger". A group of space pirates boarded the star void battleship, confirmed there was no danger, and nodded at the one-eyed strongman.

Translate: "After the space pirates boarded the star battleship and confirmed there was no danger, they nodded at the one-eyed burly man."

Use Space Pirates, Star Battleship.

Thus: 【2】 After the Space Pirates boarded the Star Battleship and confirmed there was no danger, they nodded at the one-eyed burly man.

Seeing this, the one-eyed strongman looked at Yun Xiantai and smiled.

Translate: "Seeing this, the one-eyed burly man looked toward Yun Xiantai and smiled."

"If you don't want him dead, make a path."

Translate: "\"If you don't want him to die, make way. \""

"Release them first."

Translate: "\"Release him first. \""

"Then you want to perish together?"

Translate: "\"Then you're looking to go down together? \""

The one-eyed strongman didn't hesitate, gripping harder; seeing this, Yun Xiantai suppressed his anger and let out a low shout.

Translate: "The one-eyed burly man showed no hesitation, applying force again with his hand; seeing this, Yun Xiantai suppressed his anger and let out a low shout."

"Make way."

Translate: "\"Make way. \""

"Master, make way for them or else..............."

We need to keep the ellipsis as is? The Chinese has "...............". We'll keep same number of dots? Probably keep as is. Translate: "\"Shīzūn, make way for them or else............... \""

Note: "make way for them or else" can be translated as "Master, make way for them or else..............."

"Make way."

Translate: "\"Make way. \""

Yun Xiantai knew full well that if they fled into the spatial passage, chasing them would be difficult.

Translate: "How could Yun Xiantai not know that once they escaped into the space passage, pursuing them would be difficult?"

But at present, Yun Xiantai had no confidence he could save Ye Zhangqing.

Translate: "But right now, Yun Xiantai had no confidence in being able to save Ye Zhangqing."

Letting these space pirates go would at least temporarily ensure Ye Zhangqing's safety; but if they resorted to force, they could only watch helplessly as Ye Zhangqing died before their eyes.

Translate: "Letting this group of Space Pirates go would at least temporarily guarantee Ye Zhangqing's safety for now, but if we acted forcefully, we could only watch helplessly as Ye Zhangqing died before our eyes."

Let the people of Haotu World make a path; Yun Xiantai suppressed his anger, looked at the one-eyed strongman, and said coldly.

Translate: "Having the people of Haotu Shijie make way, Yun Xiantai suppressed the anger in his heart, looked at the one-eyed burly man, and said coldly."

"You should see how vital this person in your grasp is to us."

Translate: "\"You should be able to see how important this person in your hand is to us. \""

"That's only natural."

Translate: "\"That's natural. \""

Since the one-eyed strongman had already figured it out, Yun Xiantai spoke bluntly.

Translate: "Anyway, the one-eyed burly man had already guessed it, so Yun Xiantai simply spoke plainly."

"Keeping him alive would bring only benefits and no drawbacks for you."

Translate: "\"Keeping his life will only benefit you, with no drawbacks. \""

Yun Xiantai said this to preserve Ye Zhangqing's life; as long as he lives, there is hope.

Translate: "Yun Xiantai said this also to preserve Ye Zhangqing's life; as long as he lives, there is hope."

The one-eyed strongman was also clever; though he didn't answer Yun Xiantai, he already knew what to do.

Translate: "The one-eyed burly man was also clever; although he didn't respond to Yun Xiantai's words, he already knew in his heart what to do."

He turned and returned directly to the star void battleship, standing on the deck while still holding the unconscious Ye Zhangqing.

Translate: "He turned and headed straight back to the Star Battleship, standing on the deck, still holding the already unconscious Ye Zhangqing in his hand."

The star void battleship's formations were fully activated; amid the angry and unwilling gazes of the Haotu World crowd, it slowly started up and headed toward the spatial passage.

Translate: "The formations on the Star Battleship were all activated; amid the indignant and unwilling gazes of the people of Haotu Shijie, the Star Battleship slowly started up and headed toward the space passage."

Under everyone's gaze, it disappeared into the spatial passage.

Translate: "Under everyone's watch, it entered the space passage."

As soon as the star void battleship vanished into the spatial passage, Yun Xiantai darted after it.

Translate: "At the very moment the Star Battleship disappeared into the space passage, Yun Xiantai flashed forward and hurriedly gave chase."

Although he knew the odds were low, he still wanted to give it a try.

Translate: "Although he knew the chances of success were slim, he still wanted to try."

Upon entering the spatial passage, the star void battleship's speed began to increase steadily.

Translate: "Upon entering the space passage, the Star Battleship's speed kept increasing."

"Boss, someone's chasing us from behind."

Translate: "\"Boss, that person is chasing us from behind. \""

The space pirates naturally noticed Yun Xiantai pursuing them from behind, but the one-eyed strongman paid no heed.

Translate: "The Space Pirates naturally also noticed Yun Xiantai pursuing from behind, but the one-eyed burly man paid it no heed."

"Don't worry about him."

Translate: "\"Don't worry about him. \""

Even with Emperor-level cultivation, trying to chase a God‑level star void battleship by speed alone is pure fantasy.

Translate: "Even with Emperor Sovereign Realm cultivation, trying to catch an Emperor-level Star Battleship by speed alone is nothing short of a dream."

Moreover, we're inside the spatial passage, surrounded by endless spatial turbulence and storms—how long could you possibly last?

Translate: "Moreover, we're inside the space passage, surrounded by endless Space Turbulence and space storms—how long could you possibly endure?"

After saying that, the one-eyed strongman glanced at Ye Zhangqing lying nearby and gave orders to his men.

Translate: "Having said that, the one-eyed burly man glanced at Ye Zhangqing lying nearby and instructed his subordinates."

"Keep an eye on him, but don't let him die."

Translate: "\"Watch over him, but don't let him die. \""

"Understood."

Translate: "\"Understood. \""

Immediately, two space pirates took Ye Zhangqing below for treatment.

Translate: "Immediately, two Space Pirates took Ye Zhangqing below to administer treatment."

Yun Xiantai, who had been pursuing closely, saw the distance to the star void battleship widening, yet could do nothing.

Translate: "Yun Xiantai, who had been chasing all the way, just as the one-eyed burly man said, could see the distance between himself and the Star Battleship growing ever larger, yet he could do nothing about it."

His anxiety mounted, and the surrounding spatial storms inflicted numerous wounds on Yun Xiantai, his clothes already drenched in blood.

Translate: "His anxiety grew ever stronger, and moreover, due to the surrounding space storms, Yun Xiantai's body had acquired numerous wounds, his clothes already soaked red with blood."

"Damn it."

Translate: "\"Damn it. \""

Only after the star void battleship vanished from his sight did Yun Xiantai let out a furious, unwilling curse.

Translate: "Only after the Star Battleship completely vanished from his sight did Yun Xiantai let out a furious, unwilling curse."

He couldn't catch up, even after giving his all; he could only watch helplessly as Ye Zhangqing was taken away.

Translate: "Unable to catch up, he had already exerted his utmost effort, yet still could not catch up; he could only watch helplessly as Ye Zhangqing was taken away."

Dragging his wounded corpse back to Haotu World, the waiting crowd saw Yun Xiantai return alone and knew the outcome.

Translate: "Dragging his bloodied corpse back to Haotu Shijie, the people who had been waiting saw Yun Xiantai return alone and all knew what the outcome was."

Bai Hua Xianzi, Jueying, and Chirao—the three women—had just wanted to follow Yun Xiantai into the spatial passage.

Translate: "Bai Hua Xianzi, Jueying, Chirao, and the three women had just wanted to follow Yun Xiantai and rush into the space passage together."

However, Dongfang Hong stopped them.

Translate: "But Dongfang Hong stopped them."

"Are you crazy?"

Translate: "\"Are you crazy? \""

"Let go; we want to go save our husband."

Translate: "\"Let go, we want to go save our husband. \""

"With your cultivation, entering the spatial passage—let alone saving someone—would make even self‑preservation impossible."

Translate: "\"With your cultivation, entering the space passage, let alone saving someone, even self-preservation is impossible. \""

"I don't care."

Translate: "\"I don't care. \""

The three women struggled wildly, but Dongfang Hong continually suppressed them with his aura.

Translate: "The three women struggled wildly, but Dongfang Hong continually suppressed them with his aura."

Seeing Yun Xiantai return, Bai Hua Xianzi and the three women, together with Qi Xiong, Yunluo Shèngzhǔ, Hong Zun, Qing Shi, and others, all gathered around.

Translate: "At this moment, seeing Yun Xiantai return, Bai Hua Xianzi and the three women, along with Qi Xiong, Yunluo Shèngzhǔ, Hong Zun, Qing Shi, and others all gathered around."

Even other powerful beings from various clans turned their gazes toward Yun Xiantai.

Translate: "Even the other clan experts each turned their gazes toward Yun Xiantai."

Faced with so many gazes, Yun Xiantai shook his head.

Translate: "Faced with numerous gazes, Yun Xiantai shook his head."

Seeing this, the three women immediately burst into tears.

Translate: "Seeing this, the three women's tears immediately fell."

"What should we do? What should we do now.............."

Translate: "\"What should we do, what should we do.............. \""

"Alright, Young Master Ye Zhangqing should be safe for now; the space pirate leader isn't a fool—he knows keeping Ye Zhangqing alive is beneficial."

Translate: "\"Alright, Young Master Ye Zhangqing should temporarily be safe; that Space Pirate boss isn't a fool either—he knows keeping Ye Zhangqing is beneficial. \""

Young Master Ye Zhangqing

Thus line 54: "Alright, Young Master Ye Zhangqing should temporarily be safe; that Space Pirate boss isn't a fool either—he knows keeping Ye Zhangqing is beneficial."

But we need to keep the dash? We'll just use comma.

Let's produce: "【54】 Alright, Young Master Ye Zhangqing should temporarily be safe; that Space Pirate boss isn't a fool either—he knows keeping Ye Zhangqing is beneficial."

But we need to avoid extra explanation. Keep as one line.

"We still have a chance; once we're ready, we'll set out to rescue them."

Translate: "\"We still have a chance; once we're ready, we'll set out to rescue him. \""

Looking at the three women weeping uncontrollably and the silent crowd with heads bowed, Yun Xiantai said.

Translate: "Looking at the three women weeping nonstop and the crowd with heads bowed in silence, Yun Xiantai said."

Ye Zhangqing had been taken away; the crowd was naturally unwilling, but that didn't mean there was no opportunity.

Translate: "Ye Zhangqing had been taken away; the people were naturally unwilling, but that didn't mean there was no opportunity."

At least Ye Zhangqing was still alive, so there was still a chance.

Translate: "At least Ye Zhangqing was still alive, so there was still a chance."

Upon hearing this, the crowd forced themselves to cheer up and nodded.

Translate: "Hearing this, the people rallied themselves and nodded."

What Shīzūn said is not bad, we still have a chance.

"Since we couldn't keep these Space Pirates, we'll go to Zhu Tian Wan Jie to save people."

"Sooner or later we will find them."

"Seeing everyone's hope ignited, Yun Xiantai nodded."

"He let the experts of all clans go their own ways, the spatial passage also disappeared now, and Yun Xiantai then led everyone back to Dao Yi Shengdi."

"Brother Dongfang, I'm afraid I'll have to borrow your Dongfang Family's Star Battleship."

"Sure, no problem."

"Right now, relying on ourselves to craft an Emperor-level Star Battleship is definitely unrealistic."

"Even the Artifact Master Alliance Elder and the Formation Sect Alliance Elder have recently improved greatly, and now have confidence to attempt crafting an Emperor-level Star Battleship."

"But Yun Xiantai doesn't have that much time to wait for them."

"Waiting for them to finish it, how long would that take? Six months? One year? Or ten years?"

"So, for now we can only use the Dongfang Family's Star Battleship; if we merely restore it to its original state, it won't take even half a month."

"After saying a word to Dongfang Hong, Yun Xiantai hurried straight to the Artifact Master Alliance Elder and the Formation Sect Alliance Elder."

"At this moment, the two elders still didn't know about Ye Zhangqing's situation; they had been researching day and night without rest."

"Seeing Yun Xiantai rush over in a hurry, covered in wounds, with an awful complexion, the two elders asked doubtfully."

"Yun Elder, what's this.................?"

"Changqing Xiaozi has gotten into trouble."

"What.........."

"Without further ado, he simply recounted Ye Zhangqing's situation; upon hearing it, the Artifact Master Alliance Elder and the Formation Sect Alliance Elder were both shocked—Ye Zhangqing had actually been captured."

"Now I need the Dongfang Family's Star Battleship to go to Zhu Tian Wan Jie to save people; how long will it take you to restore it to its original state?"

"Yun Xiantai asked bluntly, knowing the matter was urgent; the two elders pondered for a moment, then spoke solemnly."

"Ten days, we will definitely be able to restore it within ten days."

"Alright, I'll bring people over in ten days."

"Having confirmed the time, Yun Xiantai turned and left; there is too much to prepare now, and time is pressing."

"The issue of personnel selection, as well as the demon tribe problem—he is leaving Haotu Shijie to save people; the demon tribe certainly cannot be ignored, otherwise when the time comes, losing the family would also be an unbearable consequence."
