Chapter 2383: with translation of chapter title

To dare to fight inside Thus English: Thus English: Dengtianxiancheng— that would have been absolutely impossible in any other era.

No one can withstand the wrath of the Heavenly Family.

But now, as the world grows ever more chaotic, the number of bold people has clearly increased.

Or rather, the savagery in people's hearts is gradually being awakened; everyone wants to defy fate and change their destiny in this chaotic age.

Originally, Ye Zhangqing had no intention of getting involved in such matters.

Whoever makes a move in Thus English: Thus English: Dengtianxiancheng, breaking the rules, will naturally be dealt with by the Heavenly Family; it has nothing to do with oneself.

【7】 But just as Ye Zhangqing was watching the commotion with interest, his divine sense enveloped the scene.

【8】 Among the two cultivators—a man and a woman—engaged in fierce combat, the female cultivator struck down with a sword; seeing this, the male cultivator darted aside to evade.

【9】 Then, the sword light shot straight toward the canteen.

【10】 Huh???

【11】 Watching that sword light rush straight down to where the canteen was, before Ye Zhangqing could react, the next second came a boom, and dust and smoke billowed up.

【12】 "My canteen."

【13】 Seeing this, Ye Zhangqing's mouth twitched. What is this? An undeserved disaster? You're fighting—what does it have to do with my canteen? Besides, it's lunchtime now, and the canteen is full of diners.

【14】 As expected, the next second, a crowd of figures burst out from the dust and smoke.

【15】 Each of them clutched a large bowl tightly to their chest, heedless of their own grimy, dust-covered faces.

【16】 Having rushed out from the dust, a moment later, curses rose and fell one after another.

【17】 "You've rebelled, you bastards!"

【18】 "My food—I'll kill you!"

【19】 "I queued for two Shíchén, didn't get to eat yesterday, you damned thing—I'll kill you!"

【20】 Some felt relieved that their quick reflexes had saved their food at the crucial moment, letting out a breath of relief.

【21】 Others, caught completely off guard with no warning, ended up losing the food they had painstakingly bought.

【22】 After all, it's just ordinary food; without someone actively protecting it, even a slight ripple would destroy it.

【23】 At this moment, seeing the cultivators whose food was destroyed in an instant, they stared wide‑eyed, faces like they wanted to devour, looking at the female cultivator in midair.

【24】 Just now, that damned thing struck down with a sword, ruining their food—this woman deserves to die.

【25】 The two still fighting in midair suddenly sensed a thick killing intent gathering.

【26】 Especially the female cultivator, feeling it most acutely, couldn't help but frown and said to the man.

【27】 "The Heavenly Family is coming—do you really want to perish together with me?"

【28】 "You wretched thing, hand over my family's heirloom treasure, or else today we'll die together—I won't stop."

【29】 "Hmph, I've served you for a hundred years; this treasure rightly belongs to me. Besides, can you even keep it?"

【30】 "Scoundrel, cut the nonsense—if you don't hand over the treasure, I'll pursue you to the death."

【31】 This man and woman were originally a daoist couple; the woman was a loose cultivator, and they met when she was young during a secret‑realm expedition.

【32】 Afterward they fell in love, and the man, disregarding his family's opposition, insisted on marrying her and bringing her into his household.

【33】 From then on he supported her cultivation.

【34】 Moreover, the woman's talent was genuinely good; once she had sufficient cultivation resources, her progress was truly rapid.

【35】 Later, the husband and wife both broke through to the Ancient Immortal Realm.

【36】 They had thought life would continue peacefully like this, and that with their combined efforts the family could rise to greater heights.

【37】 But as Qing Song Immortal City was slaughtered and the world fell into great chaos, the couple's family also came under the scrutiny of a band of marauding cultivators.

【38】 This band of marauders, after meticulous planning, struck on one night under the cover of darkness.

【39】 Although the family members fought desperately to resist, in the end they still could not hold them off.

【40】 Almost all the clansmen were slaughtered; only the husband and wife managed to escape.

【41】 Even their children did not survive.

【42】 Already grief‑stricken to the point of despair, after escaping with his life the man learned that his son and daughter were not actually his biological children.

【43】 They were born of that wretched woman and her former lover, yet he had always regarded them as his own flesh and blood.

【44】 From childhood he had spared no effort in teaching them, doing everything possible to provide them with various cultivation resources.

【45】 In the end, it turned out he had merely been raising someone else's children.

【46】 After the truth came out, the woman not only felt no remorse, but actually thought that since the man's family was already destroyed, there was nothing left of value.

【47】 However, the family's heirloom treasure had been taken out by the man.

【48】 So the woman seized the opportunity, took the man's space ring, and intended to flee far away to seek her own lover.

【49】 Unexpectedly, the man discovered her, and the two embarked on a chase that brought them to Thus English: Thus English: Dengtianxiancheng.

【50】 In the woman's view, once inside the city, even if the man were bold, he would surely not dare to act; she could look for a chance to escape, or wait for her lover to arrive and join forces to kill him.

【51】 But she never imagined that the man, grief‑ and rage‑filled, would enter Thus English: Thus English: Dengtianxiancheng, catch up to her, and without a word launch straight into attack.

【52】 Having fallen completely into madness, the man utterly disregarded the Heavenly Family's rules.

【53】 With death already in his heart, why should he bother with any rules at all?

【54】 His wife betrayed him, his son and daughter were not his blood, after a hundred years he had always been a fool played like a top—how could he still have the face to go on living?

【55】 At this very moment, the man's mind held only one thought: the family's heirloom treasure must not fall into that wretched woman's hands; even if he died, he would take it back.

【56】 Otherwise, what face would he have to meet his ancestors?

【57】 The man's eyes burned with madness; though his body bore many wounds and his hair was disheveled, the hatred in his scarlet red eyes only grew deeper.

【58】 His voice was hoarse, as if it echoed from the depths of the Nine‑Abyss Hell.

【59】 "How could the Kui family's heirloom possibly fall into your wretched hands? I was blind to have let a wolf in, but I will never let you, that wretch, obtain the family treasure."

【60】 "Hmph, do you have the ability to take it back?"

But just as Ye Zhangqing was watching the commotion with interest, his divine sense enveloped the scene.

In the midst of the fierce battle between a male and female cultivator, the woman slashed down with her sword, and the man, seeing that, leapt aside to avoid it.

Translation: "Among the two cultivators—a man and a woman—engaged in fierce combat, the female cultivator struck down with a sword; seeing this, the male cultivator darted aside to evade."

Then, the sword light shot straight toward the cafeteria.

Translation: "Then, the sword light shot straight toward the canteen."

Huh???

Translation: "Huh???"

Watching the sword light shoot straight down toward the cafeteria, before Ye Changqing could react, there was a loud boom the next second, and dust and smoke billowed out.

Translation: "Watching that sword light rush straight down to where the canteen was, before Ye Zhangqing could react, the next second came a boom, and dust and smoke billowed up."

My cafeteria!

Translation: '"My canteen."'

Seeing this, Ye Changqing's mouth twitched. What is this? An undeserved disaster? You're fighting, what does it have to do with my cafeteria? Besides, it's lunchtime, and the cafeteria is full of diners.

Translation: "Seeing this, Ye Zhangqing's mouth twitched. What is this? An undeserved disaster? You're fighting—what does it have to do with my canteen? Besides, it's lunchtime now, and the canteen is full of diners."

As expected, the next second, numerous figures rushed out from the dust.

Translation: "As expected, the next second, a crowd of figures burst out from the dust and smoke."

Each of them clutched a large bowl tightly to their chest, indifferent to their own dusty, disheveled appearance.

Translation: "Each of them clutched a large bowl tightly to their chest, heedless of their own grimy, dust-covered faces."

Having burst out of the dust, a moment later, angry shouts rose and fell one after another.

Translation: "Having rushed out from the dust, a moment later, curses rose and fell one after another."

"You've rebelled, you damned rebels!"

Translation: '"You've rebelled, you bastards!"'

"My food! I'll kill you!"

Translation: '"My food—I'll kill you!"'

"I've been queuing for two hours, didn't get to eat yesterday, you bastard, I'll kill you!"

Translation: '"I queued for two Shíchén, didn't get to eat yesterday, you damned thing—I'll kill you!"'

Some felt relieved that their quick reflexes had saved their meal, letting out a sigh of relief.

Others, caught completely off guard with no warning, ended up losing the meal they had struggled to obtain.

At this moment, seeing their food destroyed in an instant, the cultivators stared with wide eyes, wearing looks that seemed ready to devour the female cultivator hovering in midair.

Translation: "At this moment, seeing the cultivators whose food was destroyed in an instant, they stared wide‑eyed, faces like they wanted to devour, looking at the female cultivator in midair."

That damned woman just sliced down with her sword, ruining their food; she deserves to die.

Translation: "Just now, that damned thing struck down with a sword, ruining their food—this woman deserves to die."

The two still fighting in midair suddenly sensed a strong killing intent gathering.

Translation: "The two still fighting in midair suddenly sensed a thick killing intent gathering."

Especially the female cultivator, feeling it most acutely, couldn't help but frown and said to the man.

Translation: "Especially the female cultivator, feeling it most acutely, couldn't help but frown and said to the man."

"The Tian family is coming; do you really want to perish together with me?"

Translation: '"The Heavenly Family is coming—do you really want to perish together with me?"'

"You wretched woman, hand over my family's heirloom treasure, or else we'll both die today, and I won't relent."

Translation: '"You wretched thing, hand over my family's heirloom treasure, or else today we'll die together—I won't stop."'

"Hmph, I've served you for a hundred years; this treasure rightfully belongs to me. Besides, can you even guard it?"

Translation: '"Hmph, I've served you for a hundred years; this treasure rightly belongs to me. Besides, can you even keep it?"'

"Villain, cut the nonsense; if you don't hand over the treasure, I will pursue you to the death."

Translation: '"Scoundrel, cut the nonsense—if you don't hand over the treasure, I'll pursue you to the death."'

This man and woman were originally a daoist couple; the woman was a loose cultivator, and they met during a secret realm expedition when she was young.

Afterward, the couple both broke through to the Ancient Immortal realm.

Translation: "Later, the husband and wife both broke through to the Ancient Immortal Realm."

They had expected their lives to continue peacefully, and with their combined efforts, the family could rise even higher.

Translation: "They had thought life would continue peacefully like this, and that with their combined efforts the family could rise to greater heights."

But as the Qing Song Immortal City was slaughtered and the world fell into chaos, the couple's family became targeted by a band of marauding cultivators.

Translation: "But as Qing Song Immortal City was slaughtered and the world fell into great chaos, the couple's family also came under the scrutiny of a band of marauding cultivators."

This group of bandit cultivators, after meticulous planning, attacked under cover of night one evening.

Translation: "This band of marauders, after meticulous planning, struck on one night under the cover of darkness."

Although the family members fought desperately to resist, they ultimately could not hold them off.

The clan was nearly slaughtered to the last; only the husband and wife managed to escape.

Translation: "Almost all the clansmen were slaughtered; only the husband and wife managed to escape."

Even their children did not survive.

Translation: "Even their children did not survive."

They were already grief-stricken, but after escaping, the man learned that his supposed son and daughter were not his biological children.

Translation: "Already grief‑stricken to the point of despair, after escaping with his life the man learned that his son and daughter were not actually his biological children."

They were actually born from that woman and her former lover, yet he had always regarded them as his own flesh and blood.

He had devoted himself to teaching them from childhood and spared no effort to provide them with various cultivation resources.

In the end, he had merely been raising someone else's children.

Translation: "In the end, it turned out he had merely been raising someone else's children."

After the truth came out, the woman showed no remorse whatsoever; instead, she thought that since the man's family was already destroyed, there was nothing left of value.

Translation: "After the truth came out, the woman not only felt no remorse, but actually thought that since the man's family was already destroyed, there was nothing left of value."

However, the man had taken the family's heirloom treasure with him.

So the woman seized the opportunity, took the man's spatial ring, and intended to flee far away to seek her lover.

Translation: "So the woman seized the opportunity, took the man's space ring, and intended to flee far away to seek her own lover."

But the man discovered her, and the two embarked on a chase that led them to Dengtian Immortal City.

Translation: "Unexpectedly, the man discovered her, and the two embarked on a chase that brought them to Thus English: Thus English: Dengtianxiancheng."

In the woman's view, upon entering the city, the man, no matter how bold, would surely not dare to attack; she could look for a chance to escape, or wait for her lover to arrive and join forces to kill him.

Translation: "In the woman's view, once inside the city, even if the man were bold, he would surely not dare to act; she could look for a chance to escape, or wait for her lover to arrive and join forces to kill him."

But she never imagined that the man, grief-stricken and enraged, would catch up to her upon entering Dengtian Immortal City and, without a word, launch an attack.

Translation: "But she never imagined that the man, grief‑ and rage‑filled, would enter Thus English: Thus English: Dengtianxiancheng, catch up to her, and without a word launch straight into attack."

He had already descended into utter madness and no longer observed the heavenly clan's rules.

Translation: "Having fallen completely into madness, the man utterly disregarded the Heavenly Family's rules."

Having already embraced death in his heart, what need was there to heed any rules?

Translation: "With death already in his heart, why should he bother with any rules at all?"

His wife had betrayed him, his supposed children were not his blood, and after a hundred years of being played for a fool, how could he face continuing to live?

Translation: "His wife betrayed him, his son and daughter were not his blood, after a hundred years he had always been a fool played like a top—how could he still have the face to go on living?"

At this moment, the man's mind held only one thought: the family's heirloom treasure must not fall into that woman's hands, even if it meant dying to reclaim it.

Translation: "At this very moment, the man's mind held only one thought: the family's heirloom treasure must not fall into that wretched woman's hands; even if he died, he would take it back."

Otherwise, how could he face his ancestors?

Translation: "Otherwise, what face would he have to meet his ancestors?"

The man's eyes burned with madness; despite his many wounds and disheveled appearance, the hatred in his crimson eyes grew ever stronger.

Translation: "The man's eyes burned with madness; though his body bore many wounds and his hair was disheveled, the hatred in his scarlet red eyes only grew deeper."

His voice was hoarse, as if echoing from the depths of the Nine Netherworld.

Translation: "His voice was hoarse, as if it echoed from the depths of the Nine‑Abyss Hell."

"How could the Kui family's treasure fall into your hands, you wretch? I was blind to let a wolf into my home, but I will never allow you to claim our heirloom."

Translation: '"How could the Kui family's heirloom possibly fall into your wretched hands? I was blind to have let a wolf in, but I will never let you, that wretch, obtain the family treasure."'

"Hmph, do you have the ability to take it back?"

Translation: '"Hmph, do you have the ability to take it back?"'

Facing the man who seemed like a madman, the woman felt a little uneasy in her heart, but she showed no weakness in her words.

The Kui family has been destroyed; now he is nothing but a stray dog, yet he still wants to seize back the Kui family's supreme treasure—utterly a foolish daydream.

Once my older cousin arrives, we will join forces and surely be able to kill this trash.

The woman has already contacted her older cousin; now she is just waiting for her older cousin to rush to Thus English: Thus English: Dengtianxiancheng.

But just as the woman was thinking of holding on a little longer, the man turned ruthless, unleashing his secret art in a reckless, mad fashion without regard for consequences.

One is resolved to die, heedless of consequences; the other is thinking only of delay, unwilling to fight to the death.

Under such utterly different mindsets, the woman is naturally no match for the man.

After only a few exchanges, the man, disregarding the woman's attacks and posturing a fight‑to‑the‑death stance, finally found an opportunity.

He bluntly took the woman's sword strike, and then his long sword came down with a fierce slash.

Feeling the sword light approaching, the woman panicked, her eyes wide open—this strike she could not avoid.

If this strike lands, she will not die but will surely be seriously injured.
