Chapter 184 - Survivors

 

聂天之前离开之地。
The place Nie Tian previously left.

那座漂浮着的残破城池，早已坠落在地，从那城池内，再没有释放出七彩霞光，也没有那种奇异的能量荡漾开来。
The drifting broken city had long since dropped down to the ground. From within the city, there was no longer any seven-colored light rays being released. There was also no longer any unusual energy of that sort undulating and coming out. 
城池内，坐落着一栋栋稀奇古怪的建筑，有的建筑呈锥形，有的像是圆柱体。
Within the city, there were bizarre buildings situated in it. There were some that were shaped like cylinders, whereas some shaped like cones. 

还有的建筑，一看就是异族所居，犹如一株参天大树。
There were also some buildings which you could tell were the dwelling places for the unusual tribes at first glance. They were like a tall and huge tree. 

城池中央，一个残破的古传送阵旁，聚集着很多离天域的强者。
In the middle of the city, at the side of a dilapidated ancient transportation spell, a lot of experts from Heaven Leaving Domain gathered there.

在那缪辰唐阳离开以后，那些从外域而来，通过离天域的天门踏入此地的炼气士，如今全部死绝。
After Miao Chen and Tang Yang left, those Lianqi Warriors from the external domain that stepped into this place through the Heavenly Gate in Heaven Leaving Domain were now all dead. 

本来潜藏各处的七宗子弟，在他们长辈的召唤下，一一汇聚于此。
Originally, the seven sects disciples that took cover in different places, under the summon of their seniors, had all gathered at this place one by one. 

凌云宗的姜灵珠、厉樊，血宗的封罗和虞彤，灵宝阁的安诗怡，玄雾宫的郑彬，还有狱府洪璨和鬼宗邹毅，灰谷的关秋，几乎都在那残破的古传送阵旁边。
Jiang Lingzhu and Li Fan from Lingyun Sect, Feng Luo and Yu Tong from Blood Sect, An Shiyi from Lingbao Court, Zheng Bing frfom Black Mist Palace, Hong Can from Prison Department and Zou Yi from Ghost Sect, Guan Qiu from Grey Valley, nearly all of them were next to the dilapidated ancient transportation spell. 

从离天域而来的七宗子弟，本有八十多人，如今还活着的，只有十来人。
The disciples from the seven sects that came from Heaven Leaving Domain, there were originally eighty of them. At this moment, there were only about ten people that were still alive. 

活下来的那些人，来到此地以后，通过厉樊和封罗，知道在这里曾经发生过什么。
Those people that survived, after coming to this place, through Li Fan and Feng Luo, had found out about what happened previously at this place.

根据封罗的描述，他们知道唯一被那残破城池接纳，最先踏入城池的，竟然是凌云宗的聂天。
According to Feng Luo’s description, they knew that the only person who got admitted by the broken city, the first person to step into the city was actually Nie Tian from Lingyun Sect.
聂天，从那残破城池内冲天而起，向苍茫星河而去时，封罗等人看的清清楚楚。
When Nie Tian soared up the sky from the broken city and went towards the boundless star river, Feng Luo and the party had seen it clearly.

在聂天之后，唐阳和缪辰才一步步飞向星河深处。
Right after Nie Tian, only did Tang Yang and Miao Chen fly up step by step into the deep part of the star river.

拥有独特计时器物的厉樊，告诉姜灵珠和关切聂天的安诗怡，聂天已消失了三月之久。
Li Fan who possessed a unique timekeeping device told Jiang Lingzhu and An Shiyi who was deeply concerned for Nie Tian that Nie Tian had disappeared for as long as three months. 

三个月的时间，聂天再没有返回，一点踪影都没。
Three months time, Nie Tian did not return once more. There was not even the slightest trace of him. 

依照厉樊的判断，聂天……恐怕已凶多吉少。
According to Li Fan’s judgement, he feared that there might not be any positive signs for Nie Tian.

不论聂天去了何处，和他一同前往的，还有着唐阳和缪辰。
No matter where Nie Tian had went, the people that had gone along with him, there were still Tang Yang and Miao Chen.
唐阳和缪辰都是先天境的修为，唐阳更是在先天境后期，实力之强悍，简直
骇然听闻。
Tang Yang and Miao Chen both had the cultivation level of Xiantian Realm. Tang Yang was even at the late-Xiantian Realm. His formidable strength was simply overwhelming even just by listening. 

若非最强大的唐阳和缪辰一同离开了，以他们七宗的实力，恐怕还不能全歼那些外域的来客。
If it had not been because Tang Yang and Miao Chen leaving at the same time, with the strength of their seven sects, perhaps, they would still be unable to annihilate the visitors from the external domains. 

他们不认为，区区聂天，可以将唐阳和缪辰杀死。
They did not think that merely Nie Tian would be able to kill Tang Yang and Miao Chen. 

最大的可能，就是聂天被带往某处时，唐阳和缪辰立即痛下杀手，将聂天给直接斩杀。
The biggest possibility was that at the moment when Nie Tian was brought to a certain place, Tang Yang and Miao Chen had immediately laid down their murdering hands and killed Nie Tian right away.

从踏入天门算起，已过了将近半年时间，那些分散于各个陨石的七宗子弟，有的人永远埋尸于此，有的躲避了许久，才被宗门长辈召唤至此，也有的人在那些陨石上，获得了一些奇妙。
Counting from the time when they stepped into the Heavenly Gate, roughly half a year had passed. The disciples from the seven sects that were scattered across each of the meteorites, some permanently buried their body here, some took shelter for a long time. Only then were they summoned by the seniors from the sects to this place. There were also some who obtained a bit of bizarreness from the meteorites.
如今，他们都聚集在那城池内的古传送阵处，似乎知道可以通过那有些残破的传送阵，从天门离开。
Right now, they have all gathered at the ancient transportation spell inside the city as they seemed to have known that they could leave the Heavenly Gate through this transportation spell that was a bit dilapidated.

因为，最近一个月时间，他们都各自分散开来，也四处寻觅着奇迹。
Because, for the past one month, they had each spread out and looked all over the place for miracles.

可惜，不知因何原因，他们将附件近千块的陨石，都给搜查了一番，也没有任何的发现。
Unfortunately, for some unknown reason, they had investigated nearly a thousand of the meteorites nearby and still did not have any discovery. 

他们走到一个陨石的极致边缘，看到了另外一片更广阔的陨石区，那片陨石区也散落着众多陨石。
They walked to the extreme border of the meteorite and saw another meteorite area that was even wider. That meteorite area was also scattered with numerous meteorites.
只是，那个陨石区和他们所在的区域，隔着颇为辽阔的星河，而且中间没有石棱为通道。
It’s just that, the meteorite area and the area where there were at, there was a vast star river lying in between. Furthermore, at the centre, there wasn’t any stone protrusion to serve as a passage.

他们稍稍想了一下，就知道那片陨石区，可能是另外两扇天门的炼气士到达地。
They quietly thought over it for a while and had right away known that the meteorite area might be the arrival points of the Lianqi Warriors from the other two Heavenly Gate.

另外两扇天门，在玄天域和千绝域开启，而玄天域和千绝域的实力，要远远强过他们离天域。
The other two Heavenly Gates opened at Black Sky Domain and Thousand Extinction Domain. The strength of Black Sky Domain and Thousand Extinction Domain on the other hand, were far stronger than their Heaven Leaving Domain.

尤其是玄天域，排名陨星九域之首，从那儿涌入天门的强者，绝对比从离天域进来的更加恐怖。
Black Sky Domain in particular which was ranked the first among the Nine Heavenly Domains. The experts that rushed in the Heavenly Gate from there were definitely more terrifying compared to those that came in from Heaven Leaving Domain.

不要说在他们这陨石区，和那片陨石区之间，存在着不可逾越的星河。
Don’t mention about the meteorite area where they were at, in between that meteorite area, an impassable star river was present.

即便真有足够长的石棱连接，他们也万万不敢跨域，不敢去招惹玄天域和千绝域的幸存者，以免惹火烧身。
Even if there really was enough time for the stone protrusion to connect, they would definitely not dare to step across the field. They would not dare to pick on the survivors from Black Sky Domain and Thousand Extinction Domain to avoid stirring up fire and getting burnt. 
“那聂天应该死了，你和她虽然有些情谊，但不需为他太过于伤心。”
“That Nie Tian should be dead. Even though there was a bit of friendship between you and him, you do not need to feel too sad.”

灵宝阁那边，先天境中期的炼气士邱衡，皱着眉头，轻声训斥安诗怡，“你在天门内运气不错，实力进展极快。凭借着你所获取的那东西，你应该能够在不久后，就跨入先天境。”
On the side of Lingbao Court, the Lianqi warrior Qiu Heng who was in the mid-Xiantian Realm, with his eyebrows knitted, reprimanded An Shiyi with a soft voice,”Your luck in the Heavenly Gate is quite good, your strength had improved extremely fast. By relying on those things that you obtained, it should not be too long until you can step into Xiantian Realm.”
“等你晋入先天境，你在宗门的身份和地位会进一步提高，之前因青幻界犯下的错误，阁主也会一笔勾销，绝不会再刁难你。”
“Wait until you advanced into Xiantian Realm, your status and position in the sect would improve one step further. Previously, the mistake made due to the Green Illusion Realm would also be written off at one stroke by the sect owner. He absolutely would not deliberately make things difficult for you anymore.”

“你安家，你妹妹安颖，都会因你而自豪受益。”
“Your An family, your sister An Ying, they would all feel proud and got benefited because of you.”

“区区一个聂天，都已死了，你何必因他而劳神？”

“It’s just Nie Tian, he had already died, what’s the point in you damaging your spirit because of him?”

邱衡冷声道。
Qiu Heng said in a cold tone.

他略略懂一些空间秘术，以前因为聂天血核撕裂出空间缝隙，他还去过黑云城。
He somewhat knew about a bit of secret space art. In the past, because of the space rift that Nie Tian’s blood pit tore out, he had even gone to Black Cloud City before.

从辈分来看，他算是安诗怡的师叔，这些年他对安诗怡也算是颇为照顾。
Judging from the seniority in the clan, he was considered to be An Shiyi’s martial uncle. All these years, he had also considered to have taken care of An Shiyi. 

只不过，当安诗怡面对地位比他更加尊贵的甘康刁难，被那甘康给一步步逼迫时，他却悄悄消失了。
It’s just that however, when An Shiyi faced hardships from Gan Kang whose position was more precious than his and got forced step by step by Gan Kang, he secretly disappeared.
因为他邱衡招惹不起甘康，也不会因为安诗怡，和那甘康撕破脸。
Because he, Qiu Heng could not bear to pick on Gan Kang. He too would not, because of An Shiyi, openly offend Gan Kang. 

但在知道甘康欲图背弃灵宝阁，被宗门唾弃时，他才又冒了出来，对安诗怡
嘘寒问暖。
However, at the moment when he found out Gan Kang attempted to betray Ling Bao Court and got disdained by the sect only did he appear once more and asked An Shiyi about her health.

在安诗怡从黑云城的荒野，也获取了一枚天门钥匙时，他愈发对安诗怡看重，又对安诗怡主动示好了。
At the moment when An Shiyi, at the wasteland in Black Cloud City, also got a Heavenly Gate ket, he had increasingly regarded An Shiyi as important and once again expressed his goodwill towards An Shiyi of his own accord.
“他不会死的，我相信他。”安诗怡不冷不热道。
“He will not die, I believe in him.” An Shiyi said in a neither hostile nor friendly manner. 

讲话时，安诗怡瞥了邱衡一眼，明眸中有着隐藏很深的厌恶。
During the conversation, An Shiyi shot a glance at Qiu Heng. Her beautiful pupils were hidden with a deep hatred. 

她心中明白，那邱衡和甘康一样，对她一直有着心思。
She understood in her heart that Qiu Heng was just the same as Gan Kang. He has always had intentions towards her. 

即使邱衡从没有表露，身为聪明女人的她，也能看出那邱衡的想法。
Even though Qiu Heng had never revealed it, she, as an intelligent woman, could still see through Qiu Heng’s thought.

在她因青幻界的失利，被宗主冷藏，而后遭遇到甘康几人胁迫时，邱衡并没有站出来，没有去维护她。
At the moment when she, due to the failure in Green Illusion Realm, got refrigerated by the sect master and got threatened by Gan Kang and a few people, Qiu Heng did not actually stood up for her. He did not defend her. 

因为邱衡惧怕，惧怕甘康的报复，惧怕另外几人的身份。
Because Qiu Heng feared, he feared Gan Kang’s retaliation, and feared the positions of the other few people. 

但和她只是泛泛之交，还是被她算计着，给弄入青幻界的聂天，却在她最需要帮助的时候，一次次站到她身边。
However, even though Nie Tian had only been a nodding acquaintance with her but yet was still calculated by her and sent into Green Illusion Realm, he still stood up by her side at the times when she needed help the most.

为了她，聂天不惜得罪甘康，甚至舍弃了对其至关重要的蕴灵丹。
For her, Nie Tian risked everything and offended Gan Kang, so much so that he threw away the spirit accumulating medicine that was extremely important to him. 

为了她，聂天屡次犯傻，令自己都落入了险境。
For her, Nie Tian had played dumb from time to time, letting even himself fell into dangerous situations.

在她的心中，那邱衡和聂天相比，屁都不是。
In her heart, that Qiu Heng, compared to Nie Tian, he was not even a fart. 

所以听到邱衡说聂天已经死了的时候，劝她不要因聂天而伤神时，她不但一句话都听不进去，还忍着怒气没有发作。
Therefore, upon hearing Qiu Heng said Nie Tian had died and convinced her to not injure her spirit for Nie Tian, not only did she not hear even one sentence in, she was even holding in her fury while not letting it out. 

“嘿，别以为是巫寂之徒，就有多了不起。”邱衡皮笑肉不笑，嘴角满是讥讽，“巫寂或许很会收徒，可他让聂天踏入天门，就是最大的失策。区区后天境初期，也敢来天门内找福泽，不知该说巫寂老糊涂了，还是聂天不知死活。”
“Hey, don’t think that because he is Wu Ji’s disciple, he would be that extraordinary.” Qiu Heng put on a false smile. The corner of his mouth was full of sarcasm,” Wu Ji might be really good at accepting disciples, but him letting Nie Tian stepped into the Heavenly Gate, was precisely the biggest mistake. He was merely at the early stage of Houtian Realm and he has already dared to come into the Heavenly Gate to look for good fortunes. I do not know whether I should say that Wu Ji had already gone dotard, or Nie Tian did not know death.”
“邱衡！你在说谁？”不远处，凌云宗的厉樊冷哼一声。
“Qiu Heng! Who are you talking about?” From a spot not far away, Li Fan from Lingyun Sect snorted coldly.
就连血宗的封罗，也冷冷看向了邱衡，道：“你能闭嘴吗？”
Even Feng Luo from Blood Sect too coldly looked towards Qiu Heng and said:” Can you shut up?”

玄雾宫的郑彬，也狠狠瞪了邱衡一眼，低声骂道：“什么玩意？”
Zheng Bin from Black Mist Palace too ferociously stared at Qiu Heng and accused in a low voice :” What the heck?”

甚至于，狱府的洪璨和鬼宗的邹毅，包括灰谷的关秋，也冷哼一声，齐齐将不悦的目光，投射到了邱衡身上。
It even went to the extent that Hong Can from Prison Department and Zou Yi from Ghost Sect, including Guan Qiu who was from Grey Valley, they too snorted coldly. They simultaneously directed their displeased look on Qiu Heng. 

夸夸而谈的邱衡，看着狱府、鬼宗、血宗和凌云宗、灰谷众人，都一脸厌恶地望着他，心中一颤。
Qiu Heng who exaggerated as he talked, seeing as the people from Prison Department, Ghost Sect, Blood Sect and Lingyun Sect, Grey Valley all looked at him with a hateful look, his heart trembled.

他不明白那些人，为何会因为他的一番话，都表露出不悦。
He did not understand those people, why they would reveal a displeased look just because of his words.

他并不知道，在他没有到来之前，封罗，洪璨，邹毅和关秋，都和聂天并肩作战过。
He actually did not know that prior to his arrival, Feng Luo, Hong Can, Zou Yi and Guan Qiu had all fought together with Nie Tian before. 

这些人，对只有后天境的聂天，都充满了欣赏。
These people, they were filled with admiration for Nie Tian who was only in Houtian Realm.

狱府的洪璨，更是毫不客气地说道：“聂天虽然境界不高，可据我所知，外域的三个先天境强者，都是因为他而死！你邱衡算什么东西，你杀了几个外域的先天境强者？就凭你，有什么资格指责聂天？”
Hong Can from Prison Department said in an even more unrestrained manner:” Even though Nie Tian’s cultivation level is not high, the three Xiantian Realm experts from the external domains were all dead because of him! Who do you think you, Qiu Heng are, how many Xiantian Realm experts from the external domains have you killed? Just with you, what position do you think you are in to criticize Nie Tian?” 

“聂天那小子，如果和你邱衡一样的境界，他可以秒杀你信不信？”鬼宗的封罗冷声道。
“Nie Tian, that brat, if he is in the same realm as you Qiu Heng, he would be able to kill you in an instant, believe it or not?” Feng Luo from Ghost Sect said in a cold tone.

“那个，那个……”
“That, that……”
邱衡脸色尴尬，被众人针对的他，忽然怂了，再不敢多言一句。
Qiu Heng had an awkward face. He who was being directed against by the group of people suddenly felt terrified and did not dare to speak any more words.

安诗怡冷冷看了他一眼，愈发的轻视。
An Shiyi took a cold glance at him as she became increasingly contempted.

也在此刻，从那残破城池的上空，出现了一片七彩霞光。
Also at this moment, in the upper sky of the broken city, a seven-colored light ray appeared.

七彩霞光内，一道身影，由模糊渐渐变得清晰。
Within the seven-colored light rays, a silhouette, slowly turned from being fuzzy to being clear. 

“聂天！”
“Nie Tian!”
