Chapter 62: Guest from Afar
eople, their minds are too hard to figure out.Jiang Wang's mind was quietly turning over thoughts, while his mouth said, "Captain Lin, what brings you here to chat with me today""Ah. The whereabouts o...The Shenxiao Secret Chamber, exposed on all sides, now resembled the entrance hall of a grand house.
The realm of Shenxiao, with its gates wide open, awaits guests to enter and take their seats.
Although the host is away, the necessary hospitality has been prepared for many years.
Of course, as guests, they need to change their boots and put away their rain gear here in the foyer, shaking off the dust and grime of the road and maintaining proper etiquette.
>
One of them, perhaps, may also have received recognition from long ago, inheriting this house that is almost lost to time.
This place has been empty for how many years, shrouded in silence. Covered in dust, it's unlike anything else.
Although the dust has now settled, the process of rejuvenation was abruptly halted by a terrifying external force... What meets the eye is still somewhat withered.
Behind the open door, there were old trees with yellow leaves, and the woods were deep and hidden.
Six winding tree-lined paths stretch into the unknown distance. Like six mysterious rooms, they await your choice.
It was called a tree-lined path, but it wasn't pleasant. Instead, there were withered branches and fallen leaves piled up and rotting, giving off an old, stale smell that permeated this once divine place. Time had eroded it, leaving it cold and desolate.
But the excitement in the Shenxiao Secret Chamber far exceeded the expectations of most guests.
Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!
Beyond the confines of Shenxiao's secret vault, untold numbers of celestial demons and terrifying beings lurked. At this time, they remained oblivious to these dangers, able only to glean estimations about their nature from their own preparations and the identities of their competitors.
Even if the inner and outer spaces were sealed, just within this... at this moment, the situation was complex enough. Xiongsan Si, Yuxin, Zhulanruo, Zhuzhen, Yang Yu, and Qu Xinhua.
Inspiration King Deer Seven Lang, Crimson Moon Serpent Gu Yu, Black Lotus Temple Rat Gaya. Taiping Ghost Clerk Pig Dali, Gale Killer Sword Chai A Si.
There were a full ten monsters.
They came from different factions, each with their own schemes and grievances against one another.
The intertwined grudges between the three forces of Ti'anxi Wilderness, Ziwu Hills, and Shenxiang Flower Sea, the Buddhist power struggle between Gu Nanshan and Helian Temple, not to mention the undercurrents within several prominent families in Moyun City, Lu Qilang’s pursuit of Shegu Yu, coupled with the intrusion of the Taiping Dao, and the mysterious Chai A Si, all together have turned things into a complete mess!
If someone could unravel all these tangled threads, then the world would be at peace.
But even though the situation was already so complex, when Shenxiao Zhenmi pierced through the ground in an illusory manner and disappeared into the unknown, in the very last moment before completely sealing the inside and outside, another monster managed to squeeze in!
The various yokai, each with their own thoughts and feelings in the room, were taken aback.
The scene of that terrifying entity forcefully assaulting the Divine Firmament Realm was truly horrifying. Back then, the Divine Firmament Realm had already started to self-destruct, its fundamental rules teetering on the brink of collapse. They almost all perished along with it!
Only after it was clear that the visitor was Meng, a mere illusion, did I relax somewhat.
If that terrifying being, who shows no regard for their lives, were to barge in, they wouldn't have to fight over anything anymore. They would just kneel down and beg for mercy.

Even though both Quan XiHua and Zhu Zheng still glared at each other, with tension hanging thick in the air, they unexpectedly found common ground.
Though I don't know how these monkeys got in here, they probably won't be much of a threat.

As the last participant in this feast, becoming the center of attention, Genmu was actually overwhelmed with conflicting emotions and couldn't calm down for a long time.
Cheers! Cheers! Cheers! Are we really blood relatives of the Archaic Immortals
Although I haven't heard that this great demon has offspring... Could it be that I am his long-lost grandson Otherwise, why would he care for me so much
Grandfather, with you here, I wouldn't bother coming to this hidden place. What use are these Feather Talisman secrets and Feather Clan inheritances You can just teach me everything with your hands. Why would I waste my time competing with these country bumpkins It's all too much trouble.
The chieftain is too low-key! With such a powerful backing, he never allows it to be revealed to the outside world, always being secretive and evasive! What on earth is he thinking Not even a shred of the Heavenly Demon Ancestor's domineering aura has been passed down. It falls to me, a mere younger generation, to uphold it!
The dream monkey stood erect, his back straight as a pine. Though he arrived last, it wasn't because he was late or lacked connections. He was the final protagonist in all the stories, the absolute king who received the worship of all the demons.

His gaze swept across the surroundings. At this time of high spirits, he couldn't help but recall the banquet at Feiyun Tower.
You plot, target, ostracize, and spout gibberish I can't understand... so what
Here we are!
As for Yuanmengji becoming the last participant in Shenxiao Land, Yuxin was full of doubts and surprises. Her face still tried to be bright: "Brother Yuan, you're here too I was just saying, today's grand event is unprecedented, with rare treasures on display. Among the young talents of our Moyun City, we're just missing you!"
"You know that I was brought in here personally by the Great Ancestor Ape Immortal King" he laughed instinctively, his heart brimming with words he had been nurturing for a long time.
After finishing his words, he realized it was Hoshizora talking. He then let out a cold snort: "You despicable little demon, don't speak to me!"
Even Zhu Zheng and Qu Xihua, who were cunning enough, could be forgiven. But Yuan Mengji, whose emotions were always obvious on his face, was surprisingly unfriendly, which left Yujian even more perplexed.
But the three characters "Yúan Xiān Tíng" were truly deafening.
Suppressing the unease in her heart, Xiaoyu continued to smile and probe, "Brother Yuan, what's wrong We haven't been like this before. I even asked you to visit a brothel! I don't know where I offended you, could you tell me so I can apologize"
“What nonsense are you talking about Who has ever been intimate with prostitutes” Yu Mengji stole a glance at Zhu Lanruo, his anger rising as he stomped his feet and shouted: “You despicable, shameless wretch! You slander me behind my back and still dare to defame me in front of everyone!”
Yu Xin's face flushed red, and he looked extremely indignant: "Yuan Meng Ji, you give me a clear explanation! I, Yu Xin, walk upright and sit straight. If I have anything to say, I say it to your face. When have I ever scolded you behind your back!"
As soon as those words were uttered, all the demons in the Shenxiao Secret Chamber burst into laughter. But their laughter varied—some were mocking, some sarcastic, some cold, each with a different flavor.
Yu Xin laughed, her heart beating wildly. But something felt off. I did a good job, didn't I The details were spot on and my emotions were full!
Only the Monkey Dream glared angrily and said, "What did you say about me in the secret room with Bear Sanshi just now The news spread throughout the city thanks to Zhiwen Zhong of Gǔnán Mountain. Everyone heard it! And after such a short time, you've already forgotten"
Still, being so truly real like a dream of an ape. If you have an opinion, just say it. Unlike other monsters, they keep their opinions to themselves and bottle them up inside. But being this real is a bit too much...
Yu Xin really wanted to find a crack in the ground to hide in, and also hoped that Xiong Lao Ge could completely block his gaze.
He only then understood why the other monsters, upon entering, had their noses not noses and eyes not eyes, each giving him a cold stare.
These damn bastards are really watching us outside!
What the heck is this broken clock!
When a sheep dies, its wool is shed. I will not coexist with you!
“I have a reminder.” Shurgalan suddenly spoke.
Yu Xin looked at the monk eagerly, expecting him to say something like "The Buddha is merciful and doesn't hold grudges against unintentional words." Isn't that what monks are supposed to say
"Just listen to Master Shùgālan say: 'The bell belongs to Black Lotus Temple, but it's currently held by Gu Nan Shan. Although you outsiders may not know this, don't mistake it. Moreover..."
He looked at Yuxin and said with a sinister smile, "You can call me stupid, but you better watch your own brain."
Yu-xin reluctantly twitched the corner of his mouth.
“Namo Guangwang Buddha!” Yang Yu proclaimed a Buddhist incantation: “Big-headed Monk, I can’t agree with your words. The ancient history has not been interrupted, history always leaves traces. Over millions of years, I haven’t heard of a Buddha sovereign in Helian Temple. Historical records are like swords, aren't they more reliable than your black mouth and yellow teeth The Buddha Sovereign has nothing to do with your Helian Temple, nor does Zhiwen Zhong. Don’t deceive yourself.”
Having said all that, he also glanced at Hachimaru: "Furthermore, Hachimaru-sama, this poor monk also hopes that you can revise your perception of Mount Kodai."
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Yu Xin's expression was stiff.
I want to explain something, but I'm afraid of making things worse and causing anger.
This hasn't even entered the Divine Thunder Realm yet! If I were beaten to death, it would be truly a shameful end. The other monsters are still caught up in the information that the Heavenly Demon Ape Immortal King personally sent the Extreme Dream into their minds.
Of course, each of them has a celestial demon-level existence behind them, but in terms of real power... which one is more ferocious than the Ape Immortal Court
This celestial demon's reputation is truly overwhelming!
Let me know if you have other text you'd like translated!
This also inevitably led to fear of the dream of the ape.
But when facing Hashibira, they were all eager to fight.
Zhu Zhen's eyeballs rolled, and he was about to open his mouth.
"Alright." Xiong San leaned forward, his voice gruff. "You've all gathered here, it's not for a few petty arguments. The most important thing now is this divine realm of Shenxiao - how do we enter, and how do we divide the spoils"
The Zhuzhen held the qin motionless, and silently closed its mouth again.
Lu Qi'lang pressed his hand against the hilt of his sword and said calmly, "How are you planning this, Brother Sanshi"
>
He kept a considerable distance from She Guyu, but judging from his body language towards Chai A Si, he was clearly more wary of this master of the Swift Wind and Blazing Sword.
And the enigmatic Chai A Si, seemed completely unfazed by this subtle caution, with a posture full of flaws.
And there was an unexplainable excitement and surprise in his expression.
Why is he so composed and confident while all the other yokai are on high alert It's as if the inheritance of Yu Zheng was his for the taking, and he doesn't even consider the other competitors.
And there was that "Taiping Gui Cha" (ghost officer), who always kept that awkward posture of arms crossed, standing still like a statue. Was he silently responding to something
If the spider's thoughts were troubled, her eyes still held a spark of confusion, mixed with innocence.
This made her already beautiful face even more pitiful.
Mò Yún Sān Jùn's talent moved him deeply, his heart was pounding.
Compared to other demon kings who are constantly making small movements, Shegou Yu remains silent, only holding a sword in both hands and crouching in the corner.
Her eyes were cold and emotionless, like those of a ruthless killer who cared nothing and could do anything.
But in the mirror's reflection, Jiang Wang appeared to be the most nervous one in the entire Shen Lei secret chamber.
It's like he's always ready to fight for his life, treating every monster as a mortal enemy.
She doesn't trust any monsters, anything.
This kind of personality that sees soldiers in every blade of grass and suspects everything, one wonders what kind of environment it was raised in.
When alone and not alone, it's like two completely different monsters.
Which one is the real her
The process of falling into the Shenxiao secret chamber was too abrupt. Jiang Wang hadn't figured out what was going on, and she had already arrived here with the Crimson Makeup Mirror.
He had no time to lament fate. With utmost attention and caution, he used the Crimson Makeup Mirror's perspective to observe every monster present.
Because every single person standing here right now is his opponent.
For he had already understood, if no way out could be found in this divine realm, then today would surely be his last.
