赤炎山脉内，雷冥兽扇动着巨大翅膀，驮着聂天等人，渐渐从封罗、虞彤视线消失。
In the Scarlet Flame Mountain Range, the Dark Thunder Beast flapped its enormous wings, and while carrying Nie Tian and the gang, slowly disappeared from Feng Luo and Yu Tong’s sight.

到了此时，有能力从赤炎山脉离开的，早就远离了这灾祸之地。
Until that moment, those that had the capability to leave the Scarlet Flame Mountain Range had long since left the disastrous place.

侥幸存活下来的，则是散落在各方山顶和石洞内，等候着那些熔浆火水，重新隐没于大地。
Those that managed to survive by luck on the other hand, were scattered around the various peaks and caves. They were waiting for the magma to once again disappear into the ground.

“那是……雷冥兽！”
“That’s the…… Dark Thunder Beast!”

一座低矮的石峰顶部，玄雾宫的韩馨，指向从远处飞来，离他们渐渐接近的异兽，兴奋地招手。
Han Xin of the Black Mist Palace, who wasere on top of a short summit, pointed at the unusual beast that was flying towards herwere flying here from far away and approaching them and waved her their hands in excitement. 

离的近了，她看到雷冥兽的身上，坐在聂天等人。
As it got closer, she saw Nie Tian and the gang sitting on the back of the Dark Thunder Beast.

郑彬抬头，惊讶地望着雷冥兽，很是意外地说道：“他们竟然全都活着。”
Zheng Bing raised his head and looked at the Dark Thunder Beast with astonishment. He said with surprise, :”All of them are actually alive.”

他和韩馨运气不错，与安诗怡等人道别以后，他们没有遇到任何的麻烦，始终朝着玄雾宫的方向，试图走出赤炎山脉。
He and Han Xin and him had good luck. They did not encounter any troubles after saying goodbye to An Shiyi and the gang. They were still attempting to exit the Scarlet Flame Mountain Range by advancing intowards the direction of theto Black Mist Palace.

他们原先还暗暗庆幸，庆幸没有留下来，和安诗怡等人去等候聂天。
At first, they were secretly glad that they did not stay behind to wait for Nie Tian along with An Shiyi and the gang.

后来，赤炎山脉发生巨变，地火岩浆喷涌，他们被逼无奈之下，也和聂天等人一样，选择了一座石峰避难。
After that, great changes occurred in the Scarlet Flame Mountain Range. Earth fire magma spouted out. As they were forced out of options, they too, like Nie Tian and the gang, had chosen to take refuge on a stone peak.

巨变一起，熔浆铺满大地，众山相互隔绝，他们安然无恙地存活了下来。
As soon as the great changes started, magma covered the entire mountain range and numerous mountains separated from each other. However, they managed to survive safe and sound.
这两天，他们绞尽脑汁的，想着离开赤炎山脉的方法，却一无所获。
For the past two days, they had been racking their brains, trying to think of ways to leave the Scarlet Flame Mountain Range, but to no avail.

就在他们一筹莫展时，雷冥兽忽从他们这一方的天空经过，韩馨一眼就看到了雷冥兽身上的聂天等人，惊喜地连连招手，想要让聂天一行人注意到她和郑彬。
Right when they were at their wits’ end, the Dark Thunder Beast suddenly passed by the part of the sky they were at. Han Xin had already seen Nie Tian and the gang with just a glance. She continuously waved her hands in excitement, wanting Nie Tian and the gang to notice her and Zheng Bin.

“请带上我们！”韩馨大声疾呼。
“Please take us along!” Han Xin called out loudly.

她脸上满是喜色，兴奋地手舞足蹈，似终于找到了活下来的契机。
Her face was full of excitement. She was so excited that jumped for joy, like she had finally found an opportunity to survive.

郑彬则是沉默不语。
Zheng Bin however stayed silent and did not speak a thing.

“是他们……”
“It’s them……”

潘涛垂头一看，也注意到了山顶的郑彬和韩馨，他皱着眉头，道：“你们怎么看？”
As Pan Tao bent his head and looked, he too noticed both Zheng Bin and Han Xin, who were on the peak. He frowned and said, ” What do you guys think we should do?”

数日前，聂天在修炼时，突然感知到炎龙铠的异变，一路追向大地深处时，郑彬、韩馨暗恨聂天的胡来，舍弃他们而去。
A few days ago, when Nie Tian was cultivating, he had suddenly felt Flame Dragon Armor’s unusual changes. At the the time when he was continuously chasing after it towards the deep part of the earth, Zheng Bin and Han Xin had secretly despised Nie Tian’s recklessness, resulting in them abandoning the gang and leaving.

没料到，在他们即将脱离赤炎山脉时，竟再次遇到两人。
To one’s surprise, as they were about to leave Scarlet Flame Mountain Range, they unexpectedly met those two people once again.

“太拥挤了。”坐在最前方的聂天，神色淡漠，说道：“再坐两人上来，大家位置都不够，雷冥兽也未必吃得消。”
“It’s too crowded.” Nie Tian, who was sitting at the front, said with an unsympathetic expression, ”Everyone will have not enough space if two more people climb on. The Dark Thunder Beast may also not be able to endure it.”

“另外，你们也看到了，我驾驭不了雷冥兽，它并不听我的。”
“Furthermore, you all have seen that I am not able to handle the Dark Thunder Beast. It does not listen to me at all.”

和他紧贴着的安诗怡，两手轻轻搭在他腰间，侧过脸瞥了一眼郑彬和韩馨，淡淡地说道：“我没青电石了。”
An Shiyi, who was sticking close to him, put both of her hands around his waist softly, moved her face to the side, and glanced at Zheng Bin and Han Xin. She said unenthusiastically, ”I have no more Green Electric Stones.”

“我也觉得太拥挤了。”潘涛说道。
“I too think that it’s too crowded.” Pan Tao said.

“雷冥兽带了太多人，怕承担不了，若是从空中跌下来，大家都跟着一起死么？”叶孤末冷冷道。
“If the Dark Thunder Beast carries too many people, I fear that it may not be able to stand it. If it falls from the sky, we would all die together, wouldn’t we? Ye Gumo said coldly.

姜灵珠哼了一声，用脚去踢雷冥兽的腰腹，催促道：“快点飞！”
Jiang Lingzhu snorted once and kicked the Dark Thunder Beast’s waist with her leg. She urged, ”Fly faster!”

众人都没有明确表态，却都洞悉了各自的想法，无人提议让雷冥兽停下来。
Although everyone had not declared it clearly, they all clearly understood each others’ thoughts. No one suggested to make the Dark Thunder Beast stop.

于是，那头雷冥兽，就在韩馨的大呼小叫中，没有丝毫的停顿，就从她和郑彬所在的山顶呼啸而去。
Thereupon, the Dark Thunder Beast, right over Han Xin’s shouts, just whizzed by the peak where Han Xin and Zheng Bin were, without the slightest intention of halting.

“走，走了……”韩馨呆了呆，突发出一声刺耳的尖啸，“他们竟然舍我们而去了！四宗不是盟友么？他们怎敢对我们不理不问？”
“It...It’s gone…..” Han Xin was stunned for a while and suddenly gave out an ear-piercingly sharp hiss, ” They had actually abandoned me and left! Weren’t the four sects allies with each other? How could they dare to pay no attention to us?”

郑彬没有理会她，只是轻轻一叹，垂头不语。
Zheng Bin did not bother with her. He only let out a soft sigh, bent his head down, and stayed silent. 

这时，他心中泛起了强烈的悔恨，后悔他当时做出的决定。
At that moment, a strong regret was kindled in his heart. He regretted the decision he had made at that time.

在聂天胡来，而下落不明时，他和韩馨……为了自己的安危，也选择舍弃了众人而独自离开。
When Nie Tian was being reckless and the gang had no idea where he was, Han Xin and him had chosen to abandon the crowd and leave on their own for their own safety. 

如今，雷冥兽找到了聂天，带着他们脱离赤炎山脉时，他们也同样舍弃了自己。
Right now, when the Dark Thunder Beast had found Nie Tian and carried the gang away from the Scarlet Flame Mountain Range, the duo had found themselves abandoned.

郑彬明白，是先有了他们种下的因，才有了现在的结果。
Zheng Bin understood that they were reaping what they had sown

有了郑彬和韩馨的那段小插曲，雷冥兽背上的众人，都沉默着，相互间没有交流。
After the brief interlude of Zheng Bin and Han Xin, the crowd on the back of the Dark Thunder Beast all became silent. They did not interact with each other.

聂天也没有吭声。
Nie Tian also did not utter a word.
过了一会儿，在雷冥兽途径一处火焰流淌的深潭时，他又猛地感应到炎龙铠的气息。
After a while, at a deep, natural, flaming pond along the way of the Dark Thunder Beast, he once again felt the aura of the Flame Dragon Armor.

他在高空，炎龙铠则是在那火焰深潭的潭底，他无法以肉眼看到炎龙铠，只能隐隐通过精神意识来感知。
He was high up in the sky. The Flame Dragon Armor, on the other hand, was at the bottom of the deep, natural, flaming pond. He could not see the Flame Dragon Armor with his naked eyes and could only faintly sense it with his mental consciousness.

“这里太危险，我要先走了。”他试着以精神意识来阐述自己的想法。
“This place is too dangerous, I am going first.” He tried to send out his own thoughts with his mental consciousness. 

只是一霎，他就在心灵识海内，察觉到了炎龙铠的回应。
In a flash, he had already noticed the Flame Dragon Armor’s response within his spiritual thoughts. 

炎龙铠的回应，没有具体的文字，只是一缕奇异的灵魂波动，但从那一缕波动之中，聂天还是明白了炎龙铠的意思。
The Flame Dragon Armor’s response did not have any specific words. It was only a thread of unusual spiritual intent. However, from within the thread of spiritual intent, Nie Tian understood the Flame Dragon Armor’s meaning.”

那炎龙铠……让他先离开，而且表达出了，会去找他的念头。
The Flame Dragon Armor had let him depart first. Furthermore, it had also expressed its intention that it would go and look for him.

“它会找我……”

“It will look for me……”

聂天神情一动，愈发放心了，似知道要不了太久，等炎龙铠将所有的地火晶线收集了以后，就会从赤炎山脉离开，返回到他身旁。
Nie Tian’s expression changed right away, and he felt more relieved, like he knew that it wouldn’t take long for the Flame Dragon Armor to gather all the Earth Fire Crystal Nets and then leave the Scarlet Flame Mountain Range and return to his side.
他和炎龙铠的交流，潘涛等人一无所觉，只有和他紧贴着的安诗怡，美眸滴溜溜一转，悄悄看向了下方的火焰深潭。
Pan Tao did not realize a thing about the communication between him and the Flame Dragon Armor. Only An Shiyi, who was close to him, turned and secretly looked towards the deep, natural, flaming pond below with her beautiful pupils. 
“那件通灵至宝……就在底下的火焰深潭？”
“The Psychic Grade treasure…… It’s at the bottom of the deep, natural, flaming pond?”

她凑向聂天耳边，以只有两人可以听见的声音，轻轻询问。
She moved closer towards Nie Tian’s ear and asked softly with a voice that only the both of them could hear. 

她的温软细语，高耸酥胸的紧贴，令聂天身子一麻，脑海忽一片空白。
Her warm and delicate voice, accompanied by her upright breasts that were sticking up, caused Nie Tian’s body to feel numb. His mind suddenly went blank. 
半响后，聂天才渐渐从迷乱中醒来，粗声粗气地回应道：“是的。”
Only after a while did Nie Tian gradually wake up from his confusion. He responded with a rough and vulgar voice. ” Yes.”

“刚刚，我感应到你的精神意识，如丝线一般，突然和另外一片灵魂线连在了一起。”安诗怡看着他的窘样，低低轻笑着，又道：“你和它……能以灵魂沟通交流？”
“Just now, I felt your mental consciousness. t was like a thread, suddenly joining together with another spiritual line.” An Shiyi looked at his embarrassed look, lowered her head, smiled softly. She said again, ”You and it…… can communicate through souls?”
“唔，似乎可以。”聂天咕哝道。
“Oh, it seems so.” Nie Tian mumbled.

这时的安诗怡，两手紧扣在他腰腹部，玲珑身姿紧紧贴向他，还凑在他耳边细声细语，令他气血上涌，已经有点晕头转向了。
An Shiyi, at that moment, wrapped her arms slower around his waist. She pressed up against him closely with a delicate posture and whispered into his ear with a low and soft voice. This caused his blood to surge, and he felt confused and disorientated.
这是他第一次经历如此旖旎阵仗。
It was his first time experiencing such a charming and gentle display.

安诗怡，有一搭没一搭的，和他讲着话，也不知时她有意，还是雷冥兽后背位置太窄小，她胸前的高耸，始终抵在聂天后背。
An Shiyi made conversation with him along the way. Not knowing if she was doing it intentionally or if there was too little space on the back of the Dark Thunder Beast, the upright part of her chest pressed against his back from the beginning of the journey to the end.

首次遭遇如此阵仗的聂天，表现略有些不堪，回答她的问题时，渐渐地，都快是
胡言乱语了。
Nie Tian, who hadn’t had an encounter like this before, had quite an unsightly performance. When she asked a question, he answered with babbling nonsense. 

在聂天的脑海之中，不断浮现出来，只是安诗怡胸前那饱满部位，随着挤压而变幻出的形状，还有那销魂蚀骨的美妙触感。
The only thing Nie Tian could think about was An Shiyi’s plump chest and the shape of it squeezed against his back. He could feel a sense of ecstasy deep within his bones.


到了后来，他都不知道安诗怡在问什么，也不知道他在回答什么。
Not until after the trip did he know what An Shiyi was asking and what he had answered.

许久后。
After a long time. 

他才感觉，安诗怡悄悄松开了扣紧他腰腹的玉手，并且和他重新保存了距离，不再紧紧贴向他。
Only then did he feel An Shiyi secretly loosen her lily-white hands that were wrapped around his waist. Furthermore, she put some distance between them, no longer pressing against him.

这时，他才逐渐的恢复清醒，从那奇异的迷乱状态恢复过来。
Only at that moment did he gradually recover and became clear-headed, recovering from the unusual and confusing state.

“臭小子，把你的手，从我的腿上拿开……”安诗怡轻呼。
“You brat, move your hand away from my leg……” An Shiyi whispered softly.

聂天猛地一惊，旋即才反应过来，他的右手，也不知怎么探向了后方，落在了安诗怡的光洁美腿上。
Nie Tian was frightened all of a sudden and quickly reacted. His right hand had unknowingly stretched backwards and touched An Shiyi’s bright, clean, and beautiful leg. 

隔着一层轻纱，他能感觉到那美腿的丰盈紧致。
Separated by a layer of light muslin, he could feel the beautiful leg’s well-roundedness and tightness. 

“快点抽走。”安诗怡又小声提醒了一句。
“Hurry up and remove your hand.” An Shiyi reminded again with a soft voice.

聂天下意识回头，忽然发现她右手下的宽松袖笼，有意无意地轻晃，在遮挡着她腿部的位置，防止她身后的安颖看到。
Nie Tian turned away subconsciously. He suddenly realized An Shiyi’s sleeve was swaying softly, both intentionally and unintentionally, blocking parts of her leg, and preventing An Ying, who was behind her, from seeing.
聂天感觉她很是紧张，似生怕安颖会发现，会误会看低她这个姐姐。
Nie Tian sensed that she was really nervous. She seemed to be afraid that An Ying would notice, misunderstood, and frown upon her sister.

“唔……”
“Oh……”

醒悟过来的聂天，知道她心中惶恐不安，低低应了一身，忙悄悄收回手。
Nie Tian, who had come to his senses, understood the anxiety in her heart. He responded with a low voice and quickly removed his hand in secret.

然后，聂天也不知出于何种想法，他竟将那只手，放在了鼻子上闻了闻。
After that, Nie Tian, influenced by thoughts that seemingly came from nowhere,, actually put his hand under his nose and sniffed.

“小混球！”安诗怡艳丽的脸上，突布满了红霞，她咬着下唇，心中羞赧不已，低声骂了聂天一句。
“Little bastard!” An Shiyi’s gorgeous face was suddenly filled with a red glow. She bit her bottom lip and felt incessantly shy in her heart. She scolded Nie Tian once with a low voice.

“好香。”聂天呵呵傻笑。
“It smells so good.” Nie Tian giggled gently.

“呼！”
- Hu! -

也在此时，雷冥兽终于脱离了赤炎山脉的覆盖范围，朝着凌云宗的方位疾驰而去。
Also at that moment, Dark Thunder Beast had finally broken away from the area covered by Scarlet Flame Mountain Range. It sped along towards the Lingyun Sect.

第二天，正午时分。
On the second day, at noon.


带着众人的雷冥兽，飞到黑云城时，没有再次前行。
When the Dark Thunder Beast that was carrying the crowd flew into Black Cloud City, it stopped and did not head forward any further.

它放缓了速度，来到黑云城的城门前，慢慢降落。
It slowed down its speed, arrived in front of the castle door of Black Cloud City, and slowly descended.

“怎么不是凌云山？”姜灵珠不解道。
“Why aren’t we at the Lingyun Sect?” Jiang Lingzhu asked cluelessly.

黑云城离凌云山很近了，以雷冥兽的速度，只要再飞半刻钟，就能到达凌云山。
Black Cloud City was already quite close to the Lingyun Sect. With the Dark Thunder Beast’s speed, if it were to fly for only fifteen minutes longer, it could have reached Lingyun Mountain.

可雷冥兽竟在此地停住了。
But Dark Thunder Beast had stopped at this place.

“我想……”安诗怡第一个从雷冥兽身上跳下来，眺望着那座模糊可见的凌云山，突然说道：“可能凌云宗也并不安全。”
“I think……” An Shiyi was the first one to jump off the Dark Thunder Beast. She looked at the indistinct Lingyun Mountain and said suddenly, ” Maybe the Lingyun Sect is also not safe.”

“什么？”姜灵珠微微变色。
“What?” Jiang Lingzhu slightly changed color.

“狱府，血宗和鬼宗，乃是同盟方，但侵入我们灵宝阁的，只有鬼宗和血宗。”安诗怡沉吟了一下，猜测道：“凌云宗离我们很近，那些狱府的强者，应该就在凌云山附近，拦截你们凌云宗对我们的援助。”
“The Prison Department, Blood Sect, and Ghost Sect were all on the same side.The ones that had intruded our Ling Bao Court, however, only included members of the Blood Sect and Ghost Sect.” An Shiyi thought deeply for a while and guessed, ”The Lingyun Sect is very close to us and the experts from the Prison Department should be at the nearby Lingyun Mountain intercepting the help you Lingyun Sect wants to provide for us.”

她这么一说，众人都意识到了不妙，见雷冥兽没有动，都逐个跳落下来。
As soon as she said that, the crowd had realized the discouraging turn of events. Seeing that the Dark Thunder Beast did not move, they all jumped down one by one. 

“聂天！”聂家的吴涛，在城门上方，摇手说道：“凌云宗危险，宗主下达了命令，让我们全部待在黑云城，不许任何人前往凌云宗。”
“Nie Tian!” Wu Tao from the Nie Family shook his head from on top of the city gate and shouted, ”The Lingyun Sect is dangerous, so the sect master gave an order for all of us stay in Black Cloud City and prevent anyone from heading towards the Lingyun Sect.”

此言一出，大家瞬间意识到，安诗怡恐怕猜中了。
As soon as those words came out, everyone instantly realized that An Shiyi guessed correctly. 

那三宗最强的狱府，应该已聚集到凌云山，甚至将凌云宗周边都给层层围了起来，不允许任何人进出。
The Prison Department, the strongest among the three sects, should already be gathering at Lingyun Mountain. They had gathered so many people around the Lingyun Sect that no one could get in or out.
