Chapter 1639

Upon hearing Luo Jiuyou's words, Ye Zhangqing blinked and said, "You want a Heavenly Thunder Cannon?"

We must use Ye Zhangqing for Ye Zhangqing, Luo Jiuyou for Luo Jiuyou. "Heavenly Thunder Cannon" is "Heavenly Thunder Cannon" (common term). We'll translate as "Heavenly Thunder Cannon". Keep punctuation.

Thus: 【1】 Hearing Luo Jiuyou's words, Ye Zhangqing blinked, you want a Heavenly Thunder Cannon?

But need to keep the questioning tone. Could be: "Hearing Luo Jiuyou's words, Ye Zhangqing blinked. You want a Heavenly Thunder Cannon?" However we must keep as single line. We'll do: 【1】 Hearing Luo Jiuyou's words, Ye Zhangqing blinked, you want a Heavenly Thunder Cannon?

Ye Zhangqing looked at Luo Jiuyou with doubtful eyes and spoke in a low voice.

Luo Brother asked, "You just said this Heavenly Thunder Cannon is useless, didn't you?"

Luo Brother? The term "Luo Brother" refers to Luo Jiuyou. The line is: "Luo Brother, you just said this Heavenly Thunder Cannon is useless, didn't you?" We'll translate it.

Thus: 【3】 "Luo Brother, you just said this Heavenly Thunder Cannon is useless, didn't you?"

"Did I say that? Ye Brother, you misheard."

"Did I say that? Ye Brother, you misheard."

"Huh???"

Just an interjection: "Huh???" We'll keep as "Huh???" maybe with three question marks. So: 【5】 Huh???

In response to Ye Zhangqing's inquiry, Luo Jiuyou said with an innocent expression, "When did I ever say the Heavenly Thunder Cannon is useless?"

"Facing Ye Zhangqing's question, Luo Jiuyou said with an innocent face, when did I ever say the Heavenly Thunder Cannon was useless?" Use Ye Zhangqing, Luo Jiuyou.

"It's just that it's a bit expensive to make; firing one shot costs several million top-grade spirit stones, and it's a one-time-use magical device."

"It's just that it's a bit expensive to make, firing one shot costs several million top-grade spirit stones, and then it's a one-time-use magical artifact." We'll translate: 【8】 It's just that it's a bit expensive to make; firing one shot costs several million top-grade spirit stones, and then it's a one-time-use magical artifact.

"Besides that, what other drawbacks does it have? How could this thing be useless?"

"Besides that, what other drawbacks does it have? How could this thing be useless?" So: 【9】 Besides that, what other drawbacks does it have? How could this thing be useless?

Faced with Luo Jiuyou's innocent, clear-eyed look, Ye Zhangqing was taken aback for a moment, almost thinking he had misremembered.

So: 【45】 In a moment, the few Artifact Master Alliance Old Ancestors who had come out to test the Heavenly Thunder Cannon's power suddenly received orders for two Heavenly Thunder Cannons.

"As a result, he hadn't even had time to reply to Ye Zhangqing's previous message." So: 【50】 As a result, he hadn't even had time to reply to Ye Zhangqing's previous message.

He's even more exhausted than when Qi Xiong was around.

"Even more exhausting than when Qi Xiong was around." So: 【51】 Even more exhausting than when Qi Xiong was around.

After all, Qi Xiong was the Holy Lord, with Wu Shou helping, but now Qi Xiong and Wu Shou are in seclusion, and even Master Yunxian Terrace is in seclusion.

So: 【52】 After all, Qi Xiong was the Shèngzhǔ, with Wu Shou helping him, but now Qi Xiong and Wu Shou have entered closed-door cultivation, and the Shīzūn Yun Xiantai has also entered closed-door cultivation.

"Shi Song alone can be said to have to handle all big and small matters of the Haotu World." So: 【53】 Shi Song alone can be said to have to handle all big and small matters of the Haotu World.

Not to mention the Dao One Holy Land's own affairs, just the big and small affairs of all sects in the Vast Earth World keep Shi Song busy to the point of being overwhelmed.

"Not to mention the affairs of the Dao Yi Sacred Land itself, just the big and small matters of the various sects in the Haotu World keep Shi Song busy to the point of being unable to cope each day." So: 【54】 Not to mention the affairs of the Dao Yi Sacred Land itself, just the big and small matters of the various sects in the Haotu World keep Shi Song busy to the point of being unable to cope each day.

He hardly ever gets a break.

"He hardly ever gets a moment's rest." So: 【55】 He hardly ever gets a moment's rest.

Moreover, he can't find anyone to help.

"Moreover, he can't find anyone nearby to help." So: 【56】 Moreover, he can't find anyone nearby to help.

"Huuuh.............."

"【He lets out a long sigh】" We'll translate as "Hhhhh..." but better: "Haaah..." Actually the Chinese is a sigh sound. We'll translate as "Haaah..." but keep the length? We'll just output "Haaah..." maybe with many h's? The original has many dots. We'll keep as "Haaah..." but we need to keep the sound. We'll output "Haaah..." maybe with several h's. Let's do "Haaah...". So: 【57】 Haaah...

He took a deep breath, just finished handling the reports from other sects, before Shi Song could speak, an Enforcement Hall Envoy rushed in.

"He took a deep breath, just finished handling the reports from the various sects below; before Shi Song could speak, a Law Enforcement Hall steward hurried in." So: 【58】 He took a deep breath, just finished handling the reports from the various sects below; before Shi Song could speak, a Law Enforcement Hall steward hurried in.

"Elder, there is a matter that requires your personal review."

"Elder, there is a matter that requires your personal review." So: 【59】 "Elder, there is a matter that requires your personal review."

"What's the matter?"

"It's a matter of the Law Enforcement Hall."

"Law Enforcement Hall's business, what the hell does it have to do with me?"

Hearing that, Shi Song subconsciously cursed; he was already exhausted, and now they come to him about the Law Enforcement Hall's affair?

Just hearing that, this Law Enforcement Hall steward was a bit dazed; aren't you the Hall Master of the Law Enforcement Hall? This Law Enforcement Hall's business isn't your concern—whose is it then?

Seeing the steward stunned, Shi Song also seemed to realize something, his face dark as he asked.

"What is it? Speak."

Hearing that, the steward didn't dare hesitate and immediately explained the whole thing.

Lately, Shi Song's temper has been foul, so the steward dare not provoke him.

The matter is actually simple; moreover, it's an old acquaintance of Shi Song's—Zhao Zhengping of Divine Sword Peak, and Xu Jie and his fellow martial brothers.

These past few days, Xu Jie, Zhao Zhengping, Capture Dragon and their gang have set up some kind of platform in Dao Yi Holy City.

They broadly invited all the younger generation of Haotu Shijie, as well as outside Heavenly Pride to come on stage and exchange blows.

Moreover, they offered extremely generous rewards; of course, those who step onto the stage to exchange blows must also produce corresponding treasures or spirit stones.

Put bluntly, it's basically a disguised gambling fight.

Originally, there was nothing wrong with it, but the methods of Xu Jie and his lot—how to put it—are somewhat unsavory.

Moreover, as more and more Heavenly Pride entered the gambling fights, the number of losers grew; some unwilling Heavenly Pride, after losing, always thought Xu Jie and his gang were cheating, playing dirty.

So they brought this matter to the Law Enforcement Hall of Dao Yi Shengdi.

The steward didn't know how to handle it, so he could only come to ask Shi Song's opinion.

After hearing the steward's words, Shi Song's face had darkened to the extreme, and he spoke through gritted teeth.

"It's this Xú Lǎosān again—good, very good."
