lín xuān lù chū xiē chén běn zhī sè 。 gāng cái nà jǐ zhī yù luó fēng ， jiù shì zài cǐ chù xiāo shī de 。
林轩露出些沉本之色。刚才那几只玉罗蜂，就是在此处消失的。
Lin Xuan's expression turned grave. The few Jade Net Bees that had just vanished must have disappeared from this spot.
zhè zhǒng yǐ jīng rèn zhǔ de líng chóng ， huì yǔ zhǔ rén shī qù lián luò ， zhǐ yǒu liǎng jì kě néng ， yào me yǔn luò ， yào me yóu yú kōng jiān zhī lì zǔ gé 。
这种已经认主的灵虫，会与主人失去联络，只有两计可能，要么陨落，要么由于空间之力阻隔。
These spirit insects, having already claimed a master, would lose contact with their owner. There were only two possibilities: either they had perished or the spatial force was blocking them.
ér gēn jù yǎn qián qíng xíng tuī cè ， yīng gāi shì dì èr zhǒng 。 nà yǐn mì de chū kǒu ， yīng gāi jiù zài fù jìn méi cuò 。 lín xuān bì shàng shuāng móu ， zài cì jiāng qiáng dà yǐ jí de shén niàn fàng chū 。
而根据眼前情形推测，应该是第二种。那隐秘的出口，应该就在附近没错。林轩闭上双眸，再次将强大以极的神念放出。
Based on the current situation, it seemed to be the latter. The secret exit should indeed be nearby. Lin Xuan closed his eyes and released his immensely powerful divine consciousness once more.
zhuǎn yǎn guò qù le yī zhǎn chá de gōng fu ， lín xuān zhēng kāi shuāng yǎn ， liǎn shàng lù chū gǔ guài zhī sè ， méi yǒu shōu huò 。
转眼过去了一盏茶的功夫，林轩睁开双眼，脸上露出古怪之色，没有收获。
A moment later, he opened his eyes with a strange expression, having found nothing. This was somewhat unexpected.
zhè kě yǒu xiē chū rén yì liào de 。
这可有些出人意料的。
After a brief thought, Lin Xuan suddenly raised his hand and flicked his fingers, sending wave after wave of sword light out from between them. The sword lights expanded as they met the wind, quickly growing to several dozen feet in length.
lín xuān lüè yī sī liáng ， tū rán tái qǐ shǒu lái ， qū zhǐ lián dàn ， yī dào yī dào de jiàn guāng bō shè chū zhǐ jiān ， yíng fēng jiù zhǎng ， zhuǎn yǎn yǐ yǒu shù zhàng zhī zhǎng 。
林轩略一思量，突然抬起手来，屈指连弹，一道一道的剑光波射出指间，迎风就涨，转眼已有数丈之长。
"Go!"
“ qù !”
“去!”
With a slight command from Lin Xuan, the hundreds of sword lights seemed like a fierce storm, slashing wildly in all directions. However, they appeared scattered and aimless...
suí zhe lín xuān yī shēng qīng chì ， nà shù bǎi dào jiàn guāng yǒu ruò jí fēng zhòu yǔ ， xiàng zhe sì miàn bā fāng kuáng zhǎn ér qù ， kàn shàng qù què yòu sǎn luàn bù yǐ ， sì hū màn wú rì de ……
随着林轩一声轻叱，那数百道剑光有若疾风骤雨，向着四面八方狂斩而去，看上去却又散乱不已，似乎漫无日的……
Rock fragments split apart like rain, though merely sword energy, their power was still greater than that of an ordinary condensation core cultivator.
suì shí fēn luò rú yǔ ， suī rán jǐn jǐn shì jiàn qì ， dàn wēi lì zhī qiáng ， hái zài yì bān níng dān hòu qī xiū shì fǎ bǎo zhī shàng 。
碎石分落如雨，虽然仅仅是剑气，但威力之强，还在一般凝丹后期修士法宝之上。
Looking at the scene before him, Lin Xuan heaved a sigh of relief. After enduring countless hardships, they had finally returned to Cloud Ridge Mountain, and that strange mist had vanished without a trace.
tū rán ， mǒu dào jiàn guāng yī shǎn ， jìng guǐ yì de xiāo shī bú jiàn ， jiù fǎng fú bèi shén me gěi tūn shì le yì bān 。
突然，某道剑光一闪，竞诡异的消失不见，就仿佛被什么给吞噬了一般。
Wearing a delighted expression, Wu Yun'er's face was filled with joy. For her, this truly felt like escaping from the brink of death.
lín xuān méi tóu yī tiāo ， liǎn shàng xǐ sè dé xiàn ， qū zhǐ lián dàn ， jiē lián yòu yǒu jǐ dào jiàn qì jī shè chū lái ……r
林轩眉头一挑，脸上喜色德现，屈指连弹，接连又有几道剑气激射出来……r
If not for Master Lin's timely appearance, she would have perished long ago. Her gaze towards Lin Xuan was now full of gratitude.
wǔ yún ér yě dèng dà le yǎn 。
武云儿也瞪大了眼。
However, they could only consider themselves temporarily safe. With so many cultivators buried in the mountain, major factions wouldn't ignore them. Lin Xuan didn't want to be dragged into any more trouble.
zhè yī huí ， lián tā dōu kàn qīng chǔ ， jiàn guāng fēi chū qī bā zhàng yuǎn hòu ， jiù zhòu rán xiāo shī le
这一回，连她都看清楚，剑光飞出七八丈远后，就骤然消失了
With that thought in mind, a layer of green light enveloped Wu Yun'er as Lin Xuan's figure dimmed and sped towards the outside.
lín xuān tíng xià shǒu lǐ de dòng zuò ， bú yòng shuō ， zhè lǐ yīng gāi shì yǒu yī dào yǐn xíng liè fèng de 。
林轩停下手里的动作，不用说，这里应该是有一道隐形裂缝的。
There were no obstacles on their way. After two hours, Lin Xuan had arrived at a place over ten thousand miles southwest of Cloud Ridge Mountain. He chose an inconspicuous spot to land.
zài kōng jiān liè fèng zhōng ， zhè suàn shì jiào wéi wēi xiǎn de yī zhǒng ， bù guò tōng guò nà jǐ dào jiàn qì ， lín xuān yǐ dà gài cè chū le gǔ de miàn jī ， gōng yī rén chuān yuè yīng gāi méi yǒu wèn tí 。
在空间裂缝中，这算是较为危险的一种，不过通过那几道剑气，林轩已大概测出了牯的面积，供一人穿越应该没有问题。
This was a small hill, with no one around within a hundred miles. "Alright, this should be safe enough for us to part ways here," said Lin Xuan coolly.
“ yún ér ，; gēn jǐn wǒ ， qiān wàn bù néng yǒu fēn háo de chā cuò ， zhī dào le me ？” lín xuān huǎn
“云儿，;跟紧我，千万不能有分毫的差错，知道了么？”林轩缓
"What? Master, you're leaving already? You haven't seen your master in years; shouldn't we go see him?" Wu Yun'er was surprised and tried to persuade him.
huǎn de kāi kǒu le 。
缓的开口了。
"I can't stay, I have other matters. If Qinxin is safe, we'll meet again when the opportunity arises," said Lin Xuan.
“ shì ， shī bó !” wǔ yún ér máng guāi qiǎo de shuō 。
“是，师伯!”武云儿忙乖巧的说。
"Oh!" A flash of understanding passed through Wu Yun'er's eyes, but she obediently remained silent.
lín xuān diǎn diǎn tóu ， hún shēn qīng máng dà qǐ ， huǎn huǎn de xiàng qián fāng fēi lüè ér qù ， xiǎo xīn yì yì 。
林轩点点头，浑身青芒大起，缓缓的像前方飞掠而去，小心翼翼。
Lin Xuan glanced at her and waved his sleeve. A layer of spiritual light flashed, and several pieces of treasure with a gentle glow flew in front of Wu Yun'er.
shī bó dōu rú cǐ zhèng zhòng ， wǔ yún ér gèng bù gǎn yǒu fēn háo dài màn le ， rú lǚ bó bīng de zài hòu miàn
师伯都如此郑重，武云儿更不敢有分毫怠慢了，如履薄冰的在后面
"Master, what are you doing?" Wu Yun'er was taken aback, her expression showing surprise.
màn màn gēn zhe 。
慢慢跟着。
"I took the risk to accompany you on this adventure; I'll give you some benefits as compensation."
lìng yī biān ， tián xiǎo jiàn yě dà yǒu jìn zhǎn ， suī rán nà xiē yāo zú de wén zì tā bìng bù rèn shí ， dàn jīng guò yī fān yán jiū zhī hòu zhōng yú yě yǒu le yī xiē duān ní 。
另一边，田小剑也大有进展，虽然那些妖族的文字他并不认识，但经过一番研究之后终于也有了一些端倪。
"Master, that's too kind. If not for your protection, I would have perished long ago. I'm already grateful, how could I ask for more of your possessions," Wu Yun'er quickly declined.
zhè sì hū shì yī shàng gǔ de chuán sòng zhèn 。
这似乎是一上古的传送阵。
"Alright then, if I've given them to you, there's no reason to take them back. Take these."
jiù bù zhī dào tōng wǎng nǎ lǐ 。
就不知道通往哪里。
Lin Xuan smiled and said so. Unlike his peers, Lin Xuan was extremely wealthy, and he wasn't just doing this out of courtesy for Ou Yang.
tián xiǎo jiàn de liǎn sè yīn mái le xià qù 。
田小剑的脸色阴霾了下去。
Wu Yun'er, with her exceptional talent and temperament, would have been an excellent disciple if not for his unpredictable movements. Lin Xuan actually considered taking her on as a disciple.
chén yín piàn kè ， tā huí guò tóu ， wàng xiàng nà gǔ xiū shì de hái gǔ ， liǎn shàng zhōng yú shǎn guò yī sī jué jué zhī sè ， sú huà shuō ， bù rù hǔ xué ， yān dé hǔ zi ， xiǎng yào yǒu suǒ shōu huò ， mào yī mào xiǎn jué duì zhí de 。
沉吟片刻，他回过头，望向那古修士的骸骨，脸上终于闪过一丝决绝之色，俗话说，不入虎穴，焉得虎子，想要有所收获，冒一冒险绝对值得。
Now, it was time to give her some benefits. "Thank you, Master!"
niàn jí zhì cǐ ， tā yī dào fǎ jué dǎ chū ， yòng zì jǐ gāng gāng yán jiū de fāng fǎ qǐ dòng chuán sòng zhèn
念及至此，他一道法诀打出，用自己刚刚研究的方法启动传送阵
Wu Yun'er expressed deep gratitude and performed a respectful bow before looking at the treasures Lin Xuan had given her.
le 。
了。
There weren't many items.
wū ……
呜……
One ancient shield, an ornate hairpin, and several jade bottles.
wēng míng shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， cóng nà tiě mǔ zhōng mào chū yī dào qī hēi rú mò gé guāng zhù ， lǐ miàn yāo qì fān yǒng ， jiāng tián xiǎo jiàn de shēn tǐ lǒng zhào zhù ， suí hòu tā zài hēi guāng zhōng xiāo shī dé wú yǐng wú zōng 。
嗡鸣声传入耳朵，从那铁母中冒出一道漆黑如墨格光柱，里面妖气翻涌，将田小剑的身体笼罩住，随后他在黑光中消失得无影无踪。
The ancient shield was dark yellow in color, with faint traces of spirit energy emanating from it. It seemed to be a treasure sealed by a spirit entity.
yuán dì jǐn shèng xià le nà jù bù zhī dào sǐ le duō shǎo nián de hái gǔ 。
原地仅剩下了那具不知道死了多少年的骸骨。
The hairpin looked simple but Wu Yun'er guessed its power wouldn't be weak.
“ hū !
“呼!
"These two are ancient treasures; I've already removed the marks inside. After some light ritualization, you can use them."
wàng zhuó yǎn qián de jǐng wù ， lín xuān sōng le kǒu qì ， lì jīng qiān xīn wàn kǔ ， tā men zhōng yú yòu huí dào le yún lǐng shān zhōng ， ér qiě nà guǐ yì de mí wù yě xiāo shī dé wú yǐng wú zōng 。
望着眼前的景物，林轩松了口气，历经千辛万苦，他们终于又回到了云岭山中，而且那诡异的迷雾也消失得无影无踪。
Ancient treasures?
wǔ yún ér de qiào liǎn gèng shì huān xǐ ， duì tā lái shuō ， zhè cì hái zhēn yǒu yī zhǒng jié hòu yú shēng de gǎn
武云儿的俏脸更是欢喜，对她来说，这次还真有一种劫后余生的感
Wu Yun'er was stunned by Lin Xuan's generosity. Ancient treasures were rare items left behind by ancient cultivators and were cherished even by ordinary late-stage Core Formation cultivators.
jué 。
觉。
Yet Master Lin had given her two such treasures in one go.
xiǎng xiǎng ， ruò fēi cí jiàn lín shī bó ， zì jǐ zǎo yǐ hún fēi pò sàn le ， shào nǚ wàng xiàng lín xuān de mù guāng ， bù yóu de chōng mǎn le gǎn jī 。
想想，若非磁见林师伯，自己早已魂飞魄散了，少女望向林轩的目光，不由得充满了感激。
With these treasures, if she could refine the Sound Wave Technique to perfection, she might have a chance against an advanced condensation core cultivator.
bù guò xiàn zài yě zhǐ néng suàn shì zàn shí tuō xiǎn ， rú cǐ duō xiū shì mái gǔ shān zhōng ， gè dà shì lì jué bú huì bù guǎn bù wèn ， lín xuān kě bù xiǎng zài bèi qiān chě jìn shén me xuán wō 。
不过现在也只能算是暂时脱险，如此多修士埋骨山中，各大势力绝不会不管不问，林轩可不想再被牵扯进什么漩涡。
Wu Yun'er was overjoyed and quickly bowed again.
niàn jí zhì cǐ ， lín xuān hún shēn qīng máng dà qǐ ， jiāng wǔ yún ér bāo guǒ jìn qù ， suí hòu dùn guāng yòu biàn dé àn dàn qǐ lái ， xùn jí ruò diàn de fēi xiàng wài miàn 。
念及至此，林轩浑身青芒大起，将武云儿包裹进去，随后遁光又变得黯淡起来，迅疾若电的飞向外面。
"Thank you, Master. I'll do anything for you," she said resolutely.
yī lù shàng ， dào yě méi yǒu yù jiàn zǔ gé ， liǎng gè shí chén zhī hòu ， lín xuān yǐ lái dào yún lǐng shān xī nán shí yú wàn lǐ zhī wài ， tā xuǎn le yī bù qǐ yǎn de dì fāng jiàng luò xià lái 。
一路上，倒也没有遇见阻隔，两个时辰之后，林轩已来到云岭山西南十余万里之外，他选了一不起眼的地方降落下来。
However, before her words were finished, Lin Xuan flicked his fingers slightly, sending a beam of light into Wu Yun'er's forehead.
zhè lǐ shì yī zuò tǔ shān ， fāng yuán bǎi lǐ zhī nèi dōu méi yǒu rén yān 。“ hǎo le ， cǐ chù yīng gāi ān quán ， wǒ men yě jiù zài zhè lǐ fēn shǒu 。” lín xuān dàn dàn de kāi
这里是一座土山，方圆百里之内都没有人烟。“好了，此处应该安全，我们也就在这里分手。”林轩淡淡的开
The sudden action left Wu Yun'er unable to react as she lost consciousness and fell to the ground.
“ shén me ， shī bó zhè jiù yào shì ， nín yǔ shī zūn duō nián wèi jiàn le ， bù qù kàn kàn me ？
“什么，师伯这就要是，您与师尊多年未见了，不去看看么？
"Master, what are you doing?"
wǔ yún ér yǒu xiē jīng yà de wǎn liú 。
武云儿有些惊讶的挽留。
A flash of white light appeared, revealing a beautiful young woman. Her face was filled with confusion; just now everything had been fine, but suddenly she seemed like she wanted to do something improper?
“ bù liǎo ， lín mǒu hái yǒu shì ， qín xīn jì rán píng ān ， yǐ hòu yǒu jī huì zì rán huì zài
“不了，林某还有事，琴心既然平安，以后有机会自然会再
Seeing Mo Er's expression, Lin Xuan smiled. Master and servant had shared many moments together, so he could easily guess her thoughts.
jiàn 。
见。
"Diegirl, what were you thinking? I'm trying to alter your memory," said Lin Xuan with a scolding tone.
“ ó !” wǔ yún ér yǎn zhōng shǎn guò yī sī yuè rán ， dàn hái shì guāi qiǎo shuò méi yǒu zài kāi kǒu 。
“哦!”武云儿眼中闪过一丝瀹然，但还是乖巧妁没有再开口。
"Alter memories?" Realizing she misunderstood Lin Xuan, Mo Er blushed but quickly became curious.
lín xuān kàn le cǐ nǚ yī yǎn ， xiù shì yī fú ， yī piàn líng guāng shǎn guò ， jǐ jiàn sàn zhe róu hé guāng zé de bǎo wù jiù fēi dào wǔ yún ér shēn qián le 。
林轩看了此女一眼，袖视一怫，一片灵光闪过，几件散着柔和光泽的宝物就飞到武云儿身前了。
"Yes, during this trip to Cloud Ridge Mountain, we obtained the treasures of an advanced Core Formation cultivator. If it gets out, I'll become the target of everyone's attention. So..."
“ shī bó ， nín zhè shì ……” wǔ yún ér yī dāi ， liǎn shàng de biǎo qíng yǒu xiē yì wài 。
“师伯，您这是……”武云儿一呆，脸上的表情有些意外。
"But I don't think Yun'er will betray you," Mo Er was puzzled.
“ zhè cì ; suí wǒ mào xiǎn ， duō duō shǎo shǎo zǒng chū le yī xiē lì ， lí hé qī xiū shì de bǎo wù bù
“这次;随我冒险，多多少少总出了一些力，离合期修士的宝物不
"I believe she won't either, but if she accidentally slips up or something unexpected happens, altering her memory is necessary to ensure safety."
néng fēn gěi ;， dàn shī bó wǒ zì rán huì lìng wài gěi ; yī xiē hǎo chù dì 。”
能分给;，但师伯我自然会另外给;一些好处地。”
Although Lin Xuan appreciated Mo Er, he wouldn't hesitate in such matters. Altering memories wouldn't harm her either.
“ shī bó ， nín shuō zhè huà kě jiù zhé shā yún ér le ， ruò méi yǒu nín bì hù ， yún ér zǎo jiù wàn jié
“师伯，您说这话可就折杀云儿了，若没有您庇护，云儿早就万劫
Better safe than sorry, thought Lin Xuan as he lifted Wu Yun'er and lightly pressed his right hand on her head. He began altering her memories. The other items were changed to treasures of a late-stage Core Formation cultivator, ensuring that if she accidentally revealed anything, it wouldn't attract attention.
bù fù ， gǎn jī shàng lái bù jí ， zěn me néng zài yào nǐ de dōng xī 。” shào nǚ lián máng tuī cí 。
不复，感激尚来不及，怎么能再要你的东西。”少女连忙推辞。
To break this seal, Wu Yun'er would need to reach late-stage Core Formation herself, which was far beyond Lin Xuan's current strength.
“ xíng le ， lín mǒu jì rán ná chū ， qǐ yǒu zài shōu huí de dào lǐ ， jiē zhe jiù shì 。”
“行了，林某既然拿出，岂有再收回的道理，接着就是。”
By then, he would almost certainly be in the Spirit Realm. Even if she remembered, it wouldn't matter much.
lín xuān xiào le xiào ， rú cǐ zhè bān de shuō dào ， yǔ tóng jiē xiū shì bù tóng ， lín xuān shēn jiā jí qí fēng hòu ， fǎn zhèng
林轩笑了笑，如此这般的说道，与同阶修士不同，林轩身家极其丰厚，反正
After a moment, Lin Xuan stood up and wiped sweat from his forehead. Altering memories wasn't an easy task; one wrong move could harm her divine consciousness. Luckily, everything went smoothly, and Wu Yun'er would soon regain consciousness. Lin Xuan checked the area within a hundred miles and found it safe before transforming into a streak of light that vanished into the sky.
Lin Xuan's expression turned grave. The few Jade Net Bees that had just vanished must have disappeared from this spot.
These spirit insects, having already claimed a master, would lose contact with their owner. There were only two possibilities: either they had perished or the spatial force was blocking them.
