Check punctuation: keep exclamation.

Translation: "\"A Li, he insists on kowtowing for this big gift, you can take it. \" Shen Qingmo said slowly."

【12】

"Knock?" Shen Qingli wanted to say he hadn't knocked at all.

The young man proceeded to kowtow, bang bang bang!

Soon his head was battered and bloody, blood spraying everywhere.

Liu Xiaoxiao was startled, saying, "Young Master Shen, Senior Brother Li acted rashly; please forgive him."

is the note about names. We'll translate the note.

"No." Shen Qingmo refused. Though he was a handsome, graceful youth, like an immortal who abstains from worldly food, his strike was vicious—his opponent's forehead bone was cracked.

same translation: 【24】 If he keeps kowtowing, onlookers suspect his brains will be blown out.

Translation: "If he kept kowtowing, onlookers suspected his brains would burst out."

"Insulting our Shen clan's young master is like insulting the whole Shen clan; so rash and brainless, you might as well not have a brain." Shen Qingci explained coldly, dropping his usual playful smile, "What trash dares to order our Shen clan's young master to kneel?"

"You're going too far!" the Hunyuan Sect disciples behind Liu Xiaoxiao shouted angrily, "Are you trying to kowtow someone to death? It's just a few words—why go to such extremes?"

is the note about names. We'll translate the note.

"There was a reason for the provocation; it wasn't unprovoked. Your Shen clan's young master first disrespected our Hunyuan Sect, so it's normal for us to find fault today."

Translation: "\"Originally there was a reason for the provocation; it wasn't unprovoked. It was your Shen clan's young master who first disrespected our Hunyuan Sect! Being called out today is perfectly normal! \"

【34】

Translation: "\"Still not stopping! \"

"Young Master Shen, Senior Brother Li is a closed‑door disciple of the sect master; please show him some respect." Liu Xiaoxiao hadn't expected things to escalate so much, so she had to reveal Li Feihuan's background.

is the note about names. We'll translate the note.

"Senior Sister Liu, no need to waste words on them—attack!" The Hunyuan Sect disciples had already drawn their weapons, and Liu Xiaoxiao hurried to stop them.

Shen Qingli also didn't want to cause loss of life, saying, "Third brother, that's enough."

is the note about names. We'll translate the note.

"No." Shen Qingmo said just one word.

is the note about names. We'll translate the note.

Shen Qingci quickly said, "Third brother means that, by rights, the young master's orders must be obeyed, but he's a brother—his sister was bullied, so we absolutely cannot let it go."

is the note about names. We'll translate the note.

"Exactly!" Shen Qingshan and the others chorused.

Liu Meng, Yidao Li, and Zheyue Feng exchanged glances, realizing that compared to the Shen brothers, they were still too refined and too reasonable.

Suddenly, a cold shout came from the air: "Stop!"

Translation: "Suddenly, a cold shout came from the air: \"Stop! \""

【52】

Translation: "Following the voice came a flying sword, aimed straight at Shen Qingmo's forehead."

Shen Qingmo instantly raised his eyes; dark ink light flared around him, and a ferocious black phantom phoenix tore forth, slapping the sword back.

【56】

「！」

Translation: "!" (just an exclamation mark). We need to output "【23】!" maybe? Keep as "!"? The line is just an exclamation. We'll output "【23】!" (space after number?). The instruction: Output 【N】 for every line, keep translation on a single line. So we output "【23】!" (the translation is "!").

Shen Qingli was left stunned!

【58】

All the onlookers present were likewise.

Translation: "All the onlookers present were the same."

【62】

Translation: "At the same time——"

"Crack!"

Translation: "\"Crack! \""

【65】

Li Feihuan's head was blown apart from kowtowing!

【68】

Translation: "His brains poured out directly."

Shen Qingmo's murderous aura dissipated, the ferocious dark phoenix vanished, and he returned to his former handsome appearance.

【70】

Shen Qingli rubbed his eyes, "Third brother?"

【72】

Shen Qingmo nodded calmly, and Shen Qingli's eye twitched.

【74】

Excellent—no wonder she's the offspring of her fourth uncle; she's even tougher than her father!

Translation: "Excellent, truly the offspring of her fourth uncle—more formidable than his father!"

「……」

Translation: "\"... \"" (just ellipsis). We'll output "【34】 \"... \""? Actually the line is Chinese quotation marks with ellipsis inside. We'll translate as "\"... \""? Probably just "\"... \"" as English. So "【34】 \"... \""

【80】

Translation: "The scene had become so quiet it seemed as if no living person remained."

Wave after wave of oppressive, overpowering aura arrived as well.

Translation: "Wave after wave of mighty, overbearing aura arrived one after another."

【83】

On the Hunyuan Sect side, the Hunyuan Sect Sect Master was already berating, "Shen Duo, your fine son! Shen Yuan, this brat must pay with his life!"

【85】

Shen Yuan sneered, "Matters of the younger generation are decided by the younger generation. You lot are just trash—yet you dare provoke? Don't you know the rules of Sheng Long Tian?"

【87】

"Trash still dares to provoke; getting killed is just deserts." Shen Duo remarked lightly.

【90】

Translation: "\"You guys……\""

"Alright, the Hunyuan Sect is really getting worse and worse—no wonder the Heavenly Star wants to sever that lineage." A soft female voice interrupted the sect master's anger.

【92】

"Su Nu, are you also coming to kick someone when they're down?"

【94】

"No, I'm just here to tell Sect Master Li that we really shouldn't forget the rules of Sheng Long Tian. If you're capable, have your disciples enter the Ten Directions Forest and kill the little phoenix of the Changshui Shen clan; then rant here like a shrew—where's your dignity?"

【96】

The Hunyuan Sect master, who had been fuming with eyes about to burst, instantly cooled upon hearing her words: "Su Nu is absolutely right; my cultivation method makes me prone to impulsiveness. Everyone, did you hear that?"

【98】

"The Su Nu Sect still has a knack for sowing discord," sighed the head of the Pi clan in Qingyun Realm. "Sect Master Li, don't be swayed by others. The marriage matter still has time—I will surely resolve it together with you."

【100】

The power struggle among the high‑ranking figures quickly shifted from public clamor to seated, detailed discussion.

Translation: "The power struggle among the higher-ups quickly shifted from loud public arguments to sitting down for detailed discussion."

【104】

Translation: "Although their auras had arrived, the people themselves were actually still on a high platform a hundred li away."

There, a huge screen displayed Shen Qingli and the others; the senior leaders of each clan were now seated before it.

Translation: "There, there was a huge screen showing Shen Qingli and the others; the high-ranking members of each clan were now seated before the screen."

【107】

"Shen clan head, your old Shen clan is still this tough." Old Dog Huang sighed, "Our Jiangxia Huang clan this generation are all soft‑boned; watching you makes me angry."

【109】

"Hmph! You don't even know how many people you've offended—seeking death." Hunyuan Sect Sect Master Li Hua snapped coldly.

【111】

"You make it sound like we love offending people everywhere—if you don't provoke me, I won't provoke you; if you provoke me, I will retaliate; if you provoke me again, I will exterminate you to the root. This has always been our clan's rule." Shen Yuan's eyes held a smile, his words full of killing intent.

【113】

The Changshui Shen clan never initiates provocation!

【116】

Translation: "But if anyone dares to offend the Shen clan, they will surely not only retaliate but also take revenge."

If they dare come again, we'll eradicate them root and branch!

Translation: "If they still dare to come, then we will exterminate them to the root!"

【119】

That's why Shen Yuan previously said Shen Qingli's character and manner of handling affairs are very much like a Shen clan member.

【121】

At the entrance of the Ten Directions Forest, the Hunyuan Sect side has temporarily calmed down.

【124】

Translation: "The youth who had sent that flying sword also now appeared at the forefront of the Hunyuan Sect formation."

"Senior Brother Zhao," Liu Xiaoxiao greeted with a bow.

【126】

Zhao Feiyun nodded, his gaze fixed on Shen Qingmo, a hint of wariness in his eyes.

Now translate each.

"Shen Qingmo broke through the Profound Sect." he said.

Liu Xiaoxiao's expression changed, "Can the Profound Sect still get in?"

"The Ten Directions Forest has only an age limit, no cultivation limit."

"From now on, don't provoke them."

"Yes, Senior Brother Zhao." Liu Xiaoxiao also agreed in her heart.

But Zhao Feiyun said, "Doesn't the Demon Sect's young sect master like you? Stir him up to target Shen Qingmo and Shen Qingli—those two must die."

Liu Xiaoxiao's heart jumped, but she couldn't refuse, "Yes."

"Hmm." Zhao Feiyun nodded satisfactorily, his gaze toward Shen Qingli gaining a strange edge, "Is she the eldest Miss Shen?"

Liu Xiaoxiao followed his gaze and said, "Yes."

"I thought she was young, still wet behind the ears, but she looks not bad." Zhao Fengyun curled his lip, "I'll take her."

Liu Xiaoxiao lowered her head, enduring nausea, "Yes, Senior Brother Zhao."

Over here they were talking about vulgar matters; Shen Qingli knew nothing of it and didn't care.

Her focus had already fallen on the Su Nv Sect formation, "Tenth Brother, which one is the Holy Maiden of the Su Nv Sect's Holy Mother Sect?"

"Let me look." Shen Qingci scanned around, "That one, at the rear, but dressed most exquisitely. The leading white-clad woman is the Holy Maiden of the Su Nv Sect's White Lotus Sect, and the one in black is the Holy Maiden of the Extinction Sect."

"Quite distinct." Shen Qingli could clearly tell from their attire their respective sects and doctrines.

"Indeed." Shen Qingci expressed agreement.

"I'll go over for a moment." Having said that, Shen Qingci appeared before the Su Nv Sect.

After the Changshu Shen clan had just finished a "kill the chicken to scare the monkey" display, the Su Nv Sect disciples all went on alert and drew their swords!

"Please don't misunderstand, I just want to ask the Holy Maiden of the Holy Mother Sect something." Shen Qingli explained.

The Holy Maiden of the Holy Mother Sect came over to her, "I know what you want to ask, but I won't tell you."

"Nianci, don't provoke; if you know, you should speak." The Holy Maiden of the White Lotus Sect spoke with a voice soft as water.

Chen Nianci didn't look at her, still gazing at Shen Qingli, "What you want to ask is a secret."

Oh? Shen Qingli raised an eyebrow; her gaze at Chen Nianci wasn't sharp, yet the latter felt a sense of being looked down on.

It seemed Shen Qingli had seen through her thoughts, yet she didn't expose it, merely giving her a cold, contemptuous look, as if watching a petty clown.
