四名老怪物一愕,难道此事与秦妍有莫大关系么,她虽然出身天涯海阁,但毕竟只是一名元婴初期的修仙者,不管姜氏双雄,还是朱天云夫妇,都不认为秦妍能够抵挡那可怕爆炸的。
Four old monsters were taken aback. Could this matter have something to do with Qin Yan? Although she came from the天涯海阁, she was only an early-stage cultivator, and neither the Qian family duo nor Zhu Tianyun's couple thought that Qin Yan could withstand such a terrifying explosion.
dāng rán , sì rén yě bú huì hú luàn kāi kǒu shén me , xīn zhōng dōu hěn hào qí , shì qíng de zhēn xiàng jiū jìng rú hé , bù yuē ér tóng de lù chū le xǐ ěr gōng tīng zhī sè 。
当然,四人也不会胡乱开口什么,心中都很好奇,事情的真相究竟如何,不约而同的露出了洗耳恭听之色。
Of course, they wouldn't speak out recklessly; all four of them were curious about the truth behind this matter. They exchanged glances, showing a listening demeanor.
“ nà kuì lěi de xiū wèi sì wèi dào yǒu yě qīng chǔ 。 jī hū kān bǐ yuán yīng hòu qī xiū shì de shén tōng , bào zhà wēi lì gèng bú yòng shuō , dān píng wǒ men liǎng rén zěn me kě néng dǎng zhù , zhī suǒ yǐ méi yǒu yǔn luò , shì yīn wèi wǒ ēn shī gāng cái cóng zhè lǐ lù guò qín yán rú cǐ zhè bān de shuō 。
“那愧儡的修为四位道友也清楚。几乎堪比元婴后期修士的神通,爆炸威力更不用说,单凭我们两人怎么可能挡住,之所以没有陨落,是因为我恩师刚才从这里路过秦妍如此这般的说。
"That puppet’s cultivation is also clear to you friends. Its power nearly matches that of an advanced-stage cultivator. The force of the explosion doesn’t need to be said. How could we possibly stop it with just two people? It was only because my mentor passed by here earlier and saved us," Qin Yan said, explaining.
“ shén me , nín shì shuō , guì pài de tài shàng zhāng lǎo , yún zhōu dì yī nǚ xiū jiù zài zhè fù jìn me ?。 zhū tiān yún shēng yīn chàn dǒu de kāi kǒu 。
“什么,您是说,贵派的太上张老,云州第一女修就在这附近么?。朱天云声音颤抖的开口。
"What do you mean? You are saying that the venerable Zhang Elder from your sect, the first female cultivator in Yunzhou, is nearby?" Zhu Tianyun’s voice trembled as he spoke.
lìng sān rén de biǎo qíng yě chà bu duō , tā men suī rán shì yuán yīng qī xiū xiān zhě , dàn yǔ nà wèi rú yān xiān zi xiāng bǐ zé yòu bù zhí yī tí le 。
另三人的表情也差不多,他们虽然是元婴期修仙者,但与那位如嫣仙子相比则又不值一提了。
The other three had similar expressions. Although they were all advanced-stage cultivators, compared to Lady Xiayan, they were insignificant.
lí hé qī , cái shì zhēn zhèng de rén jiè wú dí !
离合期,才是真正的人界无敌!
At the Separation and Union stage, one truly becomes invincible!
zhǐ shì cún zhè zhǒng děng jí de lǎo guài wù , bù zài mén pài zhōng jìng xiū , xún zhǎo dù guò tiān jié qù líng jiè de fāng fǎ , pǎo dào lǒng nán zhè mán huāng zhī dì gàn shén me ?
只是存这种等级的老怪物,不在门派中静修,寻找渡过天劫去灵界的方法,跑到陇南这蛮荒之地干什么?
Why would such old monsters, who should be quietly cultivating in their sects to find a way to cross the heavenly tribulation and enter the spirit realm, come to this desolate place like Longnan?
sì rén bù yóu de zhuǎn tóu sì gù , liǎn shàng yǐn yǐn liú lù chū jīng jù de biǎo qíng lái le 。
四人不由得转头四顾,脸上隐隐流露出惊惧的表情来了。
The four old monsters did not suspect anything. One, they never thought that two people could survive. Two, given the terrifying explosion just now, only an advanced-stage cultivator might be able to withstand it. This explanation made sense.
“ jǐ gè dào yǒu bù yòng zhǎo le , shī zūn chū shǒu jiù le wǒ liǎ yǐ hòu , bìng wèi tíng liú , yǐ piāo rán lí kāi zhè lǐ le qín yán xīn zhōng àn xiào , liǎn shàng què shí fēn dàn rán de dào 。
“几个道友不用找了,师尊出手救了我俩以后,并未停留,已飘然离开这里了秦妍心中暗笑,脸上却十分淡然的道。
Zhu Tianyun, as the sect leader, was extremely anxious. He exchanged glances with the red-robed beautiful woman before flying towards the peak of the mountain.
píng xīn lái shuō , yún zhōng xiān zi hěn shǎo sā huǎng , ér zhè yī fān shuō cí , qí shí dōu shì lín xuān de yì si , gāng gāng dòu fǎ tài jī liè le xiē , tā kě bù xiǎng ràng rén zhī dào , zì jǐ de shén tōng yuǎn tóng jiē xiū shì 。 suǒ yǐ zì rán yào yǒu yí gè hé lǐ de jiě shì 。
平心来说,云中仙子很少撒谎,而这一番说辞,其实都是林轩的意思,刚刚斗法太激烈了些,他可不想让人知道,自己的神通远同阶修士。所以自然要有一个合理的解释。
Their beloved daughter and disciples were there; he couldn’t bear for anything to happen to them.
yú shì biàn káng chū le qín yán shī zūn de zhāo pái 。
于是便扛出了秦妍师尊的招牌。
"Lin friend, Qin Immortal, would you like to come see?" The Qian family duo had a close relationship with Snowy Dawn Sect. They wouldn’t ignore this situation.
suī rán yǒu diǎn hú nào , dàn lín xuān jì rán zhè me shuō 。 qín yán yě bù hǎo jù jué de , duì fāng kě shì sān fān wǔ cì jiù le zì jǐ , ér qiě duì yú zhè wèi xī rì de shī dì , qín yán gǎn jué zǒng yǒu xiē bù tóng dì 。
虽然有点胡闹,但林轩既然这么说。秦妍也不好拒绝的,对方可是三番五次救了自己,而且对于这位昔日的师弟,秦妍感觉总有些不同地。
"Hmm," Lin Xuan nodded. Was it related to the attack on Qin Yan?
sì míng lǎo guài wù bìng méi yǒu qǐ yí 。 yī lái , tā men cóng lái jiù méi yǒu xiǎng guò liǎng rén néng gòu huó zhe 。
四名老怪物并没有起疑。一来,他们从来就没有想过两人能够活着。
The four of them sped up and caught up soon.
èr lái , gāng gāng nà kě pà de bào zhà 。 chú le lí hé qī xiū shì kǒng pà zhēn de méi rén néng gòu jiē xià , zhè fān jiě shì hé qíng hé lǐ a 。
二来,刚刚那可怕的爆炸。除了离合期修士恐怕真的没人能够接下,这番解释合情合理啊。
Soon enough, they arrived at the peak where Zhu Tianyun was talking to an elderly Daoist in his forties. Several condensation-stage cultivators stood by respectfully.
zhì yú nà lí hé qī lǎo guài wù wèi hé huì lái dào cǐ chù , sì rén zì rán bú huì shǎ shǎ de dǎ tīng le 。 sú huà shuō , zhī dào dé yuè duō , yuè róng yì fàn hé , lí hé qī lǎo guài wù de yǐn mì , yě shì zì jǐ néng gòu dǎ tīng de ?
至于那离合期老怪物为何会来到此处,四人自然不会傻傻的打听了。俗话说,知道得越多,越容易饭盒,离合期老怪物的隐秘,也是自己能够打听的?
Lin Xuan recognized this Daoist; he was named Ji Xiansheng.
“ hē hē , liǎng wèi dào yǒu zhēn shì fú xīng gāo zhào 。 jì rán méi shì le , jiù qǐng qù běn mén xiǎo zuò 。 xiǎng bì jiāo huàn huì yě kuài kāi shǐ le 。” zhū tiān yún máng chà kāi huà tí de shuō 。
“呵呵,两位道友真是福星高照。既然没事了,就请去本门小坐。想必交换会也快开始了。”朱天云忙岔开话题的说。
After a brief reunion, both felt relieved that their sect was fine and had just temporarily evacuated due to the recent battle.
lín xuān hé qín yán dōu diǎn le diǎn tóu , suī rán bù zhī dào shuí cái shì mù hòu hēi shǒu , dàn jīng lì le zhè me dà de cuò zhé , duǎn qī nèi tā yīng gāi bú huì zài yǒu shén me xíng dòng , hé kuàng xuě míng shān cǐ kè , yuán yīng qī lǎo guài wù zú yǒu jìn bǎi zhī duō , chú fēi lí hé jí bié de cún zài chū shǒu , fǒu zé ān quán kěn dìng wú yōu 。
林轩和秦妍都点了点头,虽然不知道谁才是幕后黑手,但经历了这么大的挫折,短期内他应该不会再有什么行动,何况雪瞑山此刻,元婴期老怪物足有近百之多,除非离合级别的存在出手,否则安全肯定无忧。
"Junior Brother Ji, you’ve worked hard," Zhu Tianyun patted the shoulder of the Daoist. "It’s nothing. I grew up in Snowy Dawn Sect. Protecting our ancestral foundation is my duty. Now that the danger has passed, but all the cultivators here have left to attend the exchange meeting."
yú shì zhè zhuāng xuán àn bèi tā men zàn shí pāo zhū nǎo hòu , gè shī shén tōng 。 xiàng xuě míng shān fēi qù le 。
于是这桩悬案被他们暂时抛诸脑后,各施神通。像雪瞑山飞去了。
Ji Xiansheng looked a bit troubled at this point.
wǔ bǎi lǐ de jù lí , bìng bù suàn yuǎn , dāng rán bǐ qǐ lín xuān lái de shí hòu , fēi xíng de dù màn le xǔ duō , yī biān fēi yī biān xián liáo , zú zú guò le yī dùn fàn de gōng fu , cái kàn jiàn le nà zuò xuě bái wēi é de shān fēng 。
五百里的距离,并不算远,当然比起林轩来的时候,飞行的度慢了许多,一边飞一边闲聊,足足过了一顿饭的功夫,才看见了那座雪白巍峨的山峰。
Zhu Tianyun couldn’t help but laugh. The explosion was indeed terrifying. If it wasn't their sect headquarters, he would have made the same choice. Which advanced-stage cultivator wouldn’t be cautious and avoid danger? However, with everyone leaving, the carefully planned exchange meeting had been ruined, which left a bitter taste in his mouth.
rán ér zhū tiān yún què méi tóu yī tiāo , dùn guāng sà rán tíng le xià lái 。
然而朱天云却眉头一挑,遁光飒然停了下来。
But as the head of the sect, he still had some grace: "Forget it. Everyone is safe, that’s what matters. Junior Brother Ji, please ask your fellow Daoist Lu and Sister Liu to bring our disciples back."
bié shuō tā , qí yú zhī rén yě tóng yàng hěn qí guài , suī rán jù lí shàng yuǎn , dàn yuán yīng jí de shén shí zì rán néng gòu jiāng shān shàng de líng lì gǎn yìng qīng chǔ , zěn me jǐn shèng xià le liáo liáo jǐ gè , qí yú zhī rén dào nǎ lǐ qù le ?
别说他,其余之人也同样很奇怪,虽然距离尚远,但元婴级的神识自然能够将山上的灵力感应清楚,怎么仅剩下了寥寥几个,其余之人到哪里去了?
"Alright, I’ll handle this…" Ji Xiansheng didn’t hesitate and led several loyal disciples away.
nán dào yī bō wèi píng yī bō yòu qǐ , běn mén zǒng tán shēng le biàn gù ?
难道一波未平一波又起,本门总坛生了变故?
"Zhu friend, since the exchange meeting failed, there's no point in my staying here. I'll take my leave," Lin Xuan said as he floated forward after Zhu Tianyun had settled his sect matters.
zhū tiān yún shēn wèi zōng zhǔ , rú hé bù jí , yǔ hóng yī měi fù duì shì yī yǎn zhī hòu , shuāng shuāng xiàng fēng dǐng fēi lüè ér qù 。
朱天云身为宗主,如何不急,与红衣美妇对视一眼之后,双双向峰顶飞掠而去。
Qin Yan followed behind without speaking, clearly planning to travel with him.
tā men de ài nǚ , hái yǒu mén rén dì zǐ dōu zài nà lǐ , nián wàn kě bié chū le shén me shì 。
他们的爱女,还有门人弟子都在那里,年万可别出了什么事。
"Haha, why do you have such a rush? I heard that you killed the old demon and saved Zhu Qianru and her disciples. If not for your timely arrival, my wife and I would be in danger as well. Since we’re here, there’s no need to leave so quickly. If you don’t mind our simple hospitality, please stay for a while," Zhu Tianyun turned around and bowed deeply.
“ lín dào yǒu , qín xiān zi , yào bù wǒ men yě qù kàn kàn ?” jiāng shì shuāng xióng xiǎn rán yǔ xuě míng mén guān xì fěi qiǎn , zì rán bù hǎo shì ér bù jiàn 。
“林道友,秦仙子,要不我们也去看看?”姜氏双雄显然与雪瞑门关系匪浅,自然不好视而不见。
Everyone was stunned. Even with Lin Xuan's composure, he was taken aback.
“ ń 。” lín xuān diǎn le diǎn tóu , zhè huì yǔ qín yán bèi xí yǒu guān me ?
“嗯。”林轩点了点头,这会与秦妍被袭有关么?
"Master, is there still such a thing as free lunch in heaven?" Mo'er’s curious voice entered his ears. The first thought of the young girl was that there must be some ulterior motive. Even if Lin Xuan had saved Zhu Qianru and helped just now, they didn’t need to be thanked so much.
yú shì sì rén yě jiā kuài dù , gǎn guò qù le 。
于是四人也加快度,赶过去了。
"Except for a few special ones, you can freely browse our sect's records," Zhu Tianyun said with an unusually warm smile. "How could this feel like a dream?"
hěn kuài , biàn lái dào fēng dǐng zhī chù , què jiàn zhū tiān yún zhèng yǔ yī sì shí yú suì de dào shì zài jiāo tán zhe 。 zhōu wéi jǐ míng níng dān qī xiū shì shù shǒu ér lì 。
很快,便来到峰顶之处,却见朱天云正与一四十余岁的道士在交谈着。周围几名凝丹期修士束手而立。
Lin Xuan narrowed his eyes as he sized up the Snowy Dawn Sect leader. The other remained calm.
ér nà dào shì , lín xuān yě rèn shí , xìng jī míng xuán shēng de jiù shì 。
而那道士,林轩也认识,姓姬名玄生的就是。
"You are too kind. If I must leave now, it would seem unreasonable of me. Very well, I’ll stay for a few days," Lin Xuan smiled and said politely.
shī xiōng liǎ yī xù bié hòu de qíng jǐng , dōu dà dà de sōng le kǒu qì , yuán lái běn mén bìng wú bù tuǒ , ér shì bèi gāng gāng nà chǎng dà zhàn jīng dòng , dì zǐ men zàn bì dào ān quán dì fāng qù le 。
师兄俩一叙别后的情景,都大大的松了口气,原来本门并无不妥,而是被刚刚那场大战惊动,弟子们暂避到安全地方去了。
"Haha, you’re too polite. Forget about staying with us; treat our sect as your own home." Zhu Tianyun was overjoyed and spoke with exaggerated politeness. He then turned to Qin Yan: "Immortal Qin, please also stay. Although we can’t compare to the天涯海阁, if you have any interest in browsing our records, I won’t stop you."
“ jī shī dì , xīn kǔ le 。” zhū tiān yún pāi le pāi dào shì de jiān bǎng , shí fēn gǎn kǎi de shuō 。
“姬师弟,辛苦了。”朱天云拍了拍道士的肩膀,十分感慨的说。
"Alright, since the sect leader is so sincere, this lady will stay for a few days," Qin Yan glanced at the young man beside her and didn’t refuse.
“ shī xiōng shuō nǎ lái huà lái dì cóng xiǎo zài xuě míng mén zhǎng dà , shǒu hù zǔ shī jī yè , běn lái jiù shì fèn nèi zhī shì de , zhǐ bù guò xiàn zài wēi xiǎn jiě chú 。 kě qián lái cān jiā jiāo yì huì de zhū wèi dào yǒu què dōu zǒu le , zhè ,” shuō dào cǐ chù , jī xuán shēng de liǎn shàng lù chū jǐ fēn wéi nán zhī sè 。
“师兄说哪来话来弟从小在雪瞑门长大,守护祖师基业,本来就是分内之事的,只不过现在危险解除。可前来参加交易会的诸位道友却都走了,这,”说到此处,姬玄生的脸上露出几分为难之色。
Zhu Tianyun was delighted. He knew the Qian family duo well and didn’t need to force them to stay. He personally escorted Lin Xuan and Qin Yan to the guesthouse.
zhū tiān yún kū xiào bù dé , nà bào zhà què shí jīng rén dào le jí chù , ruò zhè lǐ bú shì běn mén zǒng tán 。 huàn tā yǔ nà xiē lǎo guài wù yì dì ér chǔ , tā yě huì zuò chū tóng yàng xuǎn zé , yuán yīng qī xiū xiān zhě 。 nǎ yí gè bú shì jiǎo huá kān lē dú ér shì de 。 qū lì bì hài 。 rén rén jià qīng jiù shú liù zhǐ shì tā men zhè yī zǒu , zhǔn bèi liáng jiǔ de jiāo huàn huì què xuān gào pào tāng , zhe shí ràng rén xīn zhōng bù shuǎng 。
朱天云哭笑不得,那爆炸确实惊人到了极处,若这里不是本门总坛。换他与那些老怪物易地而处,他也会做出同样选择,元婴期修仙者。哪一个不是狡猾刊肋毒儿似的。趋利避害。人人驾轻就熟六只是他们这一走,准备良久的交换会却宣告泡汤,着实让人心中不爽。
An hour later, he returned to his cave dwelling only to find the red-robed beautiful woman waiting with an unhappy expression.
bù guò tā shēn wèi yī mén zhī zhǔ , dào dǐ hái shì yǒu jǐ fēn qì dù :“ bà le , dà jiā méi shì jiù hǎo 。 jī shī dì , jiù má fán nǐ yǔ lǔ shī dì hái yǒu liǔ shī mèi lián luò , ràng tā men liǎ kě yǐ jiāng zài wài miàn de dì zǐ dài huí lái le 。”
不过他身为一门之主,到底还是有几分气度:“罢了,大家没事就好。姬师弟,就麻烦你与鲁师弟还有柳师妹联络,让他们俩可以将在外面的弟子带回来了。”
"Mrs. Tianyun, what’s wrong?"
“ ń , zhè shì jiāo gěi wǒ …… jī xuán shēng bìng bù tuī tuō , bào le bào quán 。 jiù dài zhe jǐ míng liú shǒu de qīn xìn dì zǐ , fēi xiàng le yuǎn chù 。
“嗯,这事交给我……姬玄生并不推脱,抱了抱拳。就带着几名留守的亲信弟子,飞向了远处。
"What do you mean by wanting to keep that Lin boy? You don’t have to make such outrageous promises. Our sect's records are passed down from our ancestors; how could they be handed over to a stranger?" The red-robed beautiful woman said with an unhappy expression. As the sect leader, she couldn’t openly argue in front of outsiders but felt his actions were too hasty.
“ zhū dào yǒu , jì rán jiāo huàn huì dǎ le shuǐ piāo 。 nà lín mǒu liú zài zhè lǐ yě méi yǒu yòng chǔ , jiù xiān gào cí le 。” děng duì fāng chǔ lǐ hǎo le mén nèi shì wù 。 lín xuān piāo shēn shàng qián , rú cǐ zhè bān de shuō 。
“朱道友,既然交换会打了水漂。那林某留在这里也没有用处,就先告辞了。”等对方处理好了门内事物。林轩飘身上前,如此这般的说。
"Haha, Sister, you’re upset about this? Let me ask you: what do you think of that Lin boy’s cultivation abilities?" Zhu Tianyun spoke mysteriously.
qín yán suī rán méi yǒu kāi kǒu , dàn yě gēn zài tā de shēn hòu , xiǎn rán dǎ suàn liǎng rén yì qǐ xíng dòng 。
秦妍虽然没有开口,但也跟在他的身后,显然打算两人一起行动。
"What do you mean by this? Are you doubting Immortal Qin's words and thinking it was the Lin boy who stopped the terrifying explosion?" The red-robed beautiful woman was taken aback, her expression turning suspicious.
“ hē hē , lín xián dì hé bì zhè me jí ne , tīng shuō nǐ miè shā cuī huā lǎo mó , jiù le zhū mǒu nǚ yǔ yī gān bù chéng qì de dì zǐ , gāng gāng ruò fēi nǐ yǔ xián kūn zhòng jí shí gǎn dào , wǒ fū fù èr rén tóng yàng xìng mìng kān yōu , jì rán lái dōu lái le , yòu hé bì jí zhe zǒu , ruò bù xián běn mén zhāo dài jiǎn lòu , jiù qǐng zhù shàng yī duàn shí jiān , bié de bù shuō , zài zhè fāng yuán shí wàn lǐ nèi , wǒ xuě míng shān de líng mài hái suàn bú cuò , ér qiě wèi biǎo shì xiè yì , běn mén diǎn jí 。 chú le jí shǎo shù tè shū de , qí yú de yě rèn yóu lín xiōng fān kàn , bù zhī dào yǒu yì xià rú hé 。” zhū tiān yún zhuǎn shēn bào quán 。 rè luò yì cháng de shuō 。
“呵呵,林贤弟何必这么急呢,听说你灭杀摧花老魔,救了朱某女与一干不成器的弟子,刚刚若非你与贤昆仲及时赶到,我夫妇二人同样性命堪忧,既然来都来了,又何必急着走,若不嫌本门招待简陋,就请住上一段时间,别的不说,在这方圆十万里内,我雪瞑山的灵脉还算不错,而且为表示谢意,本门典籍。除了极少数特殊的,其余的也任由林兄翻看,不知道友意下如何。”朱天云转身抱拳。热络异常的说。
"I’m not suspicious, Brother. I didn’t doubt Lady Xiayan; that was an advanced-stage puppet’s self-destruct. We witnessed its power with our own eyes. It couldn’t have been stopped by a mid-stage cultivator," Zhu Tianyun laughed.
cǐ yǔ yī chù , suǒ yǒu rén táng mù jié shé 。 jí biàn yǐ lín xuān de chéng fǔ , yě mù dèng kǒu dāi le 。
此语一处,所有人膛目结舌。即便以林轩的城府,也目瞪口呆了。
"Then why did you ask about his cultivation? I didn’t notice during the intense battle."
“ shào yé , tiān shàng hái yǒu diào xiàn bǐng de hǎo shì me ?” yuè ér hào qí de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ , xiǎo yā tou de dì yī fǎn yìng 。 jiù shì duì fāng yǒu yīn móu , jiù suàn lín xuān jiù le zhū qiàn rú 。 gāng gāng yòu yuán shǒu , tā men yě bù yòng gǎn xiè dé zhè me lí pǔ 。
“少爷,天上还有掉馅饼的好事么?”月儿好奇的声音传入耳朵,小丫头的第一反应。就是对方有阴谋,就算林轩救了朱倩如。刚刚又援手,他们也不用感谢得这么离谱。
"I didn’t notice either, but I did pay attention to some things. Besides that advanced-stage puppet, there was another adept at concealment who attacked Qin Yan. Lin Xuan saved Lady Xiayan in a critical situation," Zhu Tianyun described the scene slowly and clearly.
chú le jí shǎo shù tè shū de , běn mén diǎn jí suí biàn fān kàn nbsp;nbsp;。 zěn me gǎn jué xiàng shì zài zuò mèng yì bān 。
除了极少数特殊的,本门典籍随便翻看nbsp;nbsp;。怎么感觉像是在做梦一般。
"What? Instant teleportation, and those green flames? Just as you said, they were terrifying?" The red-robed beautiful woman’s expression showed shock. If it weren’t for her husband speaking, she wouldn’t have believed such a powerful technique could be used by an advanced-stage cultivator.
lín xuān mī le mī yǎn , shàng xià dǎ liàng le zhè wèi xuě míng mén zhǔ jǐ yǎn , duì fāng què shén sè tǎn rán 。
林轩眯了眯眼,上下打量了这位雪瞑门主几眼,对方却神色坦然。
"Of course, only my wife and I would exaggerate," Zhu Tianyun laughed. "Although we don’t know about the other abilities of that Lin friend, just his instant teleportation and those terrifying green flames are enough to make us mid-stage cultivators retreat. Even against late-stage cultivators, he might have a chance to fight or escape."
Four old monsters were taken aback. Could this matter have something to do with Qin Yan? Although she came from the天涯海阁, she was only an early-stage cultivator, and neither the Qian family duo nor Zhu Tianyun's couple thought that Qin Yan could withstand such a terrifying explosion.
Of course, they wouldn't speak out recklessly; all four of them were curious about the truth behind this matter. They exchanged glances, showing a listening demeanor.
"That puppet’s cultivation is also clear to you friends. Its power nearly matches that of an advanced-stage cultivator. The force of the explosion doesn’t need to be said. How could we possibly stop it with just two people? It was only because my mentor passed by here earlier and saved us," Qin Yan said, explaining.
"What do you mean? You are saying that the venerable Zhang Elder from your sect, the first female cultivator in Yunzhou, is nearby?" Zhu Tianyun’s voice trembled as he spoke.
The other three had similar expressions. Although they were all advanced-stage cultivators, compared to Lady Xiayan, they were insignificant.
At the Separation and Union stage, one truly becomes invincible!
Why would such old monsters, who should be quietly cultivating in their sects to find a way to cross the heavenly tribulation and enter the spirit realm, come to this desolate place like Longnan?
The four old monsters did not suspect anything. One, they never thought that two people could survive. Two, given the terrifying explosion just now, only an advanced-stage cultivator might be able to withstand it. This explanation made sense.
Zhu Tianyun, as the sect leader, was extremely anxious. He exchanged glances with the red-robed beautiful woman before flying towards the peak of the mountain.
Their beloved daughter and disciples were there; he couldn’t bear for anything to happen to them.
"Lin friend, Qin Immortal, would you like to come see?" The Qian family duo had a close relationship with Snowy Dawn Sect. They wouldn’t ignore this situation.
"Hmm," Lin Xuan nodded. Was it related to the attack on Qin Yan?
The four of them sped up and caught up soon.
Soon enough, they arrived at the peak where Zhu Tianyun was talking to an elderly Daoist in his forties. Several condensation-stage cultivators stood by respectfully.
Lin Xuan recognized this Daoist; he was named Ji Xiansheng.
After a brief reunion, both felt relieved that their sect was fine and had just temporarily evacuated due to the recent battle.
"Junior Brother Ji, you’ve worked hard," Zhu Tianyun patted the shoulder of the Daoist. "It’s nothing. I grew up in Snowy Dawn Sect. Protecting our ancestral foundation is my duty. Now that the danger has passed, but all the cultivators here have left to attend the exchange meeting."

"Zhu friend, since the exchange meeting failed, there's no point in my staying here. I'll take my leave," Lin Xuan said as he floated forward after Zhu Tianyun had settled his sect matters.
Qin Yan followed behind without speaking, clearly planning to travel with him.
"Haha, why do you have such a rush? I heard that you killed the old demon and saved Zhu Qianru and her disciples. If not for your timely arrival, my wife and I would be in danger as well. Since we’re here, there’s no need to leave so quickly. If you don’t mind our simple hospitality, please stay for a while," Zhu Tianyun turned around and bowed deeply.
Everyone was stunned. Even with Lin Xuan's composure, he was taken aback.
"Master, is there still such a thing as free lunch in heaven?" Mo'er’s curious voice entered his ears. The first thought of the young girl was that there must be some ulterior motive. Even if Lin Xuan had saved Zhu Qianru and helped just now, they didn’t need to be thanked so much.
"Except for a few special ones, you can freely browse our sect's records," Zhu Tianyun said with an unusually warm smile. "How could this feel like a dream?"
Lin Xuan narrowed his eyes as he sized up the Snowy Dawn Sect leader. The other remained calm.
"You are too kind. If I must leave now, it would seem unreasonable of me. Very well, I’ll stay for a few days," Lin Xuan smiled and said politely.
"Haha, you’re too polite. Forget about staying with us; treat our sect as your own home." Zhu Tianyun was overjoyed and spoke with exaggerated politeness. He then turned to Qin Yan: "Immortal Qin, please also stay. Although we can’t compare to the天涯海阁, if you have any interest in browsing our records, I won’t stop you."
"Alright, since the sect leader is so sincere, this lady will stay for a few days," Qin Yan glanced at the young man beside her and didn’t refuse.
Zhu Tianyun was delighted. He knew the Qian family duo well and didn’t need to force them to stay. He personally escorted Lin Xuan and Qin Yan to the guesthouse.
An hour later, he returned to his cave dwelling only to find the red-robed beautiful woman waiting with an unhappy expression.
"Mrs. Tianyun, what’s wrong?"
"What do you mean by wanting to keep that Lin boy? You don’t have to make such outrageous promises. Our sect's records are passed down from our ancestors; how could they be handed over to a stranger?" The red-robed beautiful woman said with an unhappy expression. As the sect leader, she couldn’t openly argue in front of outsiders but felt his actions were too hasty.
"Haha, Sister, you’re upset about this? Let me ask you: what do you think of that Lin boy’s cultivation abilities?" Zhu Tianyun spoke mysteriously.
"What do you mean by this? Are you doubting Immortal Qin's words and thinking it was the Lin boy who stopped the terrifying explosion?" The red-robed beautiful woman was taken aback, her expression turning suspicious.
"I’m not suspicious, Brother. I didn’t doubt Lady Xiayan; that was an advanced-stage puppet’s self-destruct. We witnessed its power with our own eyes. It couldn’t have been stopped by a mid-stage cultivator," Zhu Tianyun laughed.
"Then why did you ask about his cultivation? I didn’t notice during the intense battle."
"I didn’t notice either, but I did pay attention to some things. Besides that advanced-stage puppet, there was another adept at concealment who attacked Qin Yan. Lin Xuan saved Lady Xiayan in a critical situation," Zhu Tianyun described the scene slowly and clearly.
"What? Instant teleportation, and those green flames? Just as you said, they were terrifying?" The red-robed beautiful woman’s expression showed shock. If it weren’t for her husband speaking, she wouldn’t have believed such a powerful technique could be used by an advanced-stage cultivator.
"Of course, only my wife and I would exaggerate," Zhu Tianyun laughed. "Although we don’t know about the other abilities of that Lin friend, just his instant teleportation and those terrifying green flames are enough to make us mid-stage cultivators retreat. Even against late-stage cultivators, he might have a chance to fight or escape."
