Translation: The situation has developed to the point where there is no room for turning back.

【12】

Translation: Wanting to peacefully coexist with Wuji Xiancheng is no longer possible, so we can only...................

We need to keep the ellipsis as in Chinese: "...................". We'll keep same number of dots? The Chinese line has 12 dots? Actually "..................." maybe 12. We'll keep as is.

【21】

Translation: "Sect Master, rest assured, we'll definitely get it done perfectly."

Translation: But what mission is this? No news has leaked out, yet at this moment the elder has no mood to explain—he hasn't eaten a proper meal in however many days, and today being his first day back at the Sect, he certainly ought to have a good feast.

note

【106】

We need to use "Sect". Good.

Translation: Hearing this, Qi Xiong nodded helplessly.

【124】

Translation: "I know, so I didn't intervene; let them come back, just.......... alas, what a pity about Li Hongyan."

We need to keep the ellipsis as in Chinese: ".........." (10 dots?). We'll keep same.

Translation: Hearing this, Wu Shou's face turned somewhat strange; he couldn't help but mutter, "You're still feeling sorry for him? Li Hongyan, even as a ghost, wouldn't let you off."

We need to use Wu Shou. Also Li Hongyan.

"\"Lure to entrap? \"" No Chinese.

【148】

Translation: In response, Xu Jie replied with a wise smile.

"\"What, even oneself needs to be lured to entrap? \"" No Chinese.

Translation: "Junior Brother, you don't understand; this tactic of the Sect Master is called 'lure to entrap'—he lured the person in to kill them, and Li Hongyan was continuously enticed by the Sect Master, which is why he foolishly took the bait."

We need to use "Sect Master". Also "lure to entrap" we translate as "lure to entrap". Could also be "feign capture to let escape"? Actually "lure to entrap" means "pretend to capture in order to let go", a strategy of luring someone in by feigning weakness. We'll translate as "lure to entrap". Good.

"The Sect will inevitably go to war with Wuji Xiancheng; afterward, Wuji Xiancheng will likely become the Dao One Immortal Sect's territory." No Chinese.

Translation: "Lure to entrap?"

【156】

Translation: Ye Zhangqing frowned; this doesn't look like a lure-to-entrap at all—if it were, Qi Xiong wouldn't need to come here personally to put on an act.

We need to use Ye Zhangqing, Qi Xiong.

【160】

Translation: What, even I have to lure-to-entrap a bit?

"\"We have Elder Huang and Elder Lao; what's there to fear? \"" No Chinese.

Translation: I always feel this matter is a bit odd, but what Xu Jie says next actually makes some sense.

We need to use "Sect", "Wuji Xiancheng", "Dao One Immortal Sect". Good.

【168】

【172】

Translation: Nodding, Ye Zhangqing responded.

"Although the Formation's damage had been reduced to a minimum, the city lord's mansion was still half destroyed." No Chinese.

Translation: "Hmm, capturing Wuji Xiancheng is indeed a good thing, but it's not that easy, after all it's one of the twenty-four immortal cities."

We need to use "Wuji Xiancheng". Good.

Note: maybe none.

Translation: "We have Huang Lao and Zu Lao; what's there to fear?"

We need to use Huang Lao from glossary. Zu Lao we need to add to glossary as "Zu Lao". We'll output pinyin Zu Lao.

Xu Jie couldn't care less; there are two great sages here, any one of them could destroy the Li family— isn't that a guaranteed victory?

Translation: Xu Jie couldn't care less; with two Great Saints around, any one of them could wipe out the Li family—this isn't a sure win?

Note: maybe none.

Note: maybe none.

Translation: Unless other forces intervene, but our Dao One Immortal Sect's tens of thousands of elders aren't fake; in terms of connections, our Dao One Immortal Sect isn't lacking either.

We need to use "Dao One Immortal Sect". Also "elders" as "elders". "tens of thousands" means "tens of thousands". We'll translate as "tens of thousands". Good.

Note: maybe none.

Translation: Anyway, Xu Jie is full of confidence, not worrying at all about success or failure—it's a done deal.

Note: maybe none.

Translation: Meanwhile, inside Wuji Xiancheng, the Li family's two great ancestors combined forces to resolve the formation crisis in the shortest time.

We need to use "Wuji Xiancheng". Also "Li family" as Li family. "ancestors" as ancestors. "Formation" as Formation from glossary. Good.

Note: maybe none.

Translation: Although the formation's damage had been reduced to a minimum, the city lord's mansion still had half destroyed.

Note: maybe none.

Translation: Casualties were not few; it can be called a heavy loss.

However, what angers the Li family the most is not these superficial losses, but the matter of face.

Bullying people too much, this Dao One Immortal Sect really is bullying people too much.

They actually used such despicable means, pretending to drive away the Sect's offerings, to deceive, to scheme against them.

At that moment, inside a hall, the many Li family experts spoke, filled with righteous indignation.

"The family head has also been taken away."

"The life tablet has shattered; the elder brother must have already fallen to the poisonous hand of the Dao One Immortal Sect."

"Damn the Dao One Immortal Sect; I will surely exterminate them."

"Too much bullying, Ancestor, give the order; we swear to exterminate the Dao One Immortal Sect and avenge our clansmen."

"Yes, Ancestor, give the order; now that it's come to this, how can we still swallow our anger?"

"One Dao One Immortal Sect must be destroyed; if not, how can my Li family establish itself in the Immortal Realm?"

Numerous Li family experts all turned to the two Ancestors seated above the host, making their requests.

With such great humiliation, if the Li family still does not act, it will truly become a laughingstock; then, how will the other powers of the Immortal Realm view them?

The manor has been destroyed, the family head killed, and by such vile means—what is there left to hesitate about?

The many Li family members were filled with righteous indignation, could not tolerate it at all, and swore to exterminate the Dao One Immortal Sect; in response, one of the Ancestors spoke up.

"Silence."
