“ nǐ shuō tián xiǎo jiàn ？” yuè ér yī dāi ， liǎn shàng lù chū jīng yà wú bǐ de biǎo qíng lái 。
“你说田小剑？”月儿一呆，脸上露出惊讶无比的表情来。
"Is it Little Sword Tian?" Moon said, her expression showing an incredible amount of surprise.
“ bù cuò ， zhèng shì tā 。”
“不错，正是他。”
"Not wrong. It's him."
lín xuān diǎn le diǎn tóu ， xiàn zài shuāng fāng jù lí yǐ lā jìn dào bǎi lǐ zuǒ yòu ， yǐ lín xuān de qiáng dà shén shí 。 yǐ néng qīng chǔ gǎn yìng dào tā de qì xī 。
林轩点了点头，现在双方距离已拉近到百里左右，以林轩的强大神识。已能清楚感应到他的气息。
Lin Xuan nodded his head. The distance between them was now about a hundred miles, and with Lin Xuan’s powerful divine sense, he could clearly feel Tian Xiaojian’s aura.
méi xiǎng dào huì zài zhè lǐ yǔ tián xiǎo jiàn xiāng yù 。 yǐ lín xuān de chéng fǔ ， yě bù yóu de lù chū jǐ fēn yà rán zhī yì 。
没想到会在这里与田小剑相遇。以林轩的城府，也不由得露出几分讶然之意。
He hadn’t expected to encounter Little Sword Tian here. Despite Lin Xuan’s deep-seated composure, there was still a hint of surprise in his expression.
“ shào yé ， yào qù kàn kàn me ？” yuè ér de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ 。
“少爷，要去看看么？”月儿的声音传入耳朵。
"Master, should we go see him?" Moon's voice entered his ears.
lín xuān yě yǒu xiē chóu chú ， àn lǐ shuō ， tā xiàn zài shēn chù wēi jī ， shí zài bù yí duō guǎn xián shì 。 kě zài zhè lǐ dé dào tián xiǎo jiàn de xiāo xī ， ruò shì zhì zhī
林轩也有些踌躇，按理说，他现在身处危机，实在不宜多管闲事。可在这里得到田小剑的消息，若是置之
Lin Xuan hesitated as well. According to reason, he was currently in danger and shouldn’t be meddling with trivial matters. But the fact that Little Sword Tian had appeared here piqued his curiosity.
bù lǐ ， xīn zhōng yòu zhuó shǒu hào qí 。
不理，心中又着手好奇。
The Cloud Heaven Trade Fair gathered many experts. This boy was the Young Master of the Separation Medicine Palace, so it wasn't unusual for him to appear nearby.
tiān yún jiāo yì huì gāo shǒu yún jí ， nà xiǎo zi nǎi lí yào gōng shǎo zhǔ ， chū xiàn zài fù jìn běn méi yǒu shén me xī qí 。
天云交易会高手云集，那小子乃离药宫少主，出现在附近本没有什么稀奇。
However, if the Law Enforcement Officer were to be drawn here, his situation would be dire.
kě zhèng yīn wèi tā shēn fèn zūn chóng ， jiù gèng bù gāi yǔ yāo zú shēng chōng tū ， nǎ ge jiā huo chī le xióng xīn bào dǎn ， gǎn zhuī shā lí yào gōng shǎo zhǔ ， nà qǐ bù shì
可正因为他身份尊崇，就更不该与妖族生冲突，哪个家伙吃了熊心豹胆，敢追杀离药宫少主，那岂不是
With this in mind, he quickly treated his injuries and turned into a faint streak of light, swiftly leaving the area.
méi jiāng rén zú fàng zài yǎn zhōng ？
没将人族放在眼中？
...
hé kuàng zài yún lǐng shān de shí hòu ， liǎng rén céng lián shǒu kàng mó ， tián xiǎo jiàn de shén tōng lín xuān xīn zhōng yǒu shù 。 suī rán jié yīng wèi jiǔ ， dàn jiù píng zhe tā nà shǒu sān
何况在云岭山的时候，两人曾联手抗魔，田小剑的神通林轩心中有数。虽然结婴未久，但就凭着他那手三
Just after a short while, several colorful flashes appeared from afar. They flew over at high speed, arriving at the spot where Little Sword Tian had stood not long ago.
sè xuán kàng bīng huǒ ， huà xíng zhōng qī de yāo zú yě gāi tuì bì sān shè 。
色玄抗冰火，化形中期的妖族也该退避三舍。
The light condensed, revealing several figures.
rú jīn què bèi zhuī dé rú cǐ láng bèi ， zhè kě yǒu xiē bù hé cháng lǐ 。
如今却被追得如此狼狈，这可有些不合常理。
Four men and two women, all at the Yuan婴 stage... but no, three of them were human cultivators, while the other three were transformed beasts.
lín xuān tóng yàng hào qí ， dàn tā de chéng fǔ yuǎn fēi tóng jiē xiū shì kě bǐ ， quán héng lì bì ， jué dìng hái shì bú yào duō guǎn xián shì 。
林轩同样好奇，但他的城府远非同阶修士可比，权衡利弊，决定还是不要多管闲事。
However, their attire was quite similar, especially the golden small sword embroidered on their chests and sleeves.
lín xuān shōu huí shén shí ， jì rán zhī dào shì bù guān jǐ ， jiù jiāng zhù yì lì chóng xīn fàng huí dào le fó jīng shàng qù 。
林轩收回神识，既然知道事不关己，就将注意力重新放回到了佛经上去。
Law Enforcement Officers from Xuan Yuan City!
yī yè wú shì ， dì èr tiān tài yáng shēng qǐ ， lín xuān shēn shǒu zài chǔ wù dài shàng yī pāi ， suí biàn qǔ chū le yī bǐng tǔ huáng sè de fēi jiàn ， huà wèi yī dào jīng hóng 。
一夜无事，第二天太阳升起，林轩伸手在储物袋上一拍，随便取出了一柄土黄色的飞剑，化为一道惊虹。
And they were the highest-ranking ones.
fēi xiàng le yuǎn chù de tiān kōng 。
飞向了远处的天空。
High-ranking experts like these didn't handle general order maintenance. Their sole task was to stop and punish those who dared to violate the alliance by privately engaging in combat between the two races.
……
……
"Hmph, it seems the胜负 has been decided. The boy who survived must have already fled," said a man around thirty years old, dressed in black, exuding an icy aura of coldness and killing intent.
ér lín xuān bìng bù zhī dào ， jù cǐ shù qiān lǐ wài 。 yī róng mào yīng jùn de shào nián ， zhèng yòng shǒu àn zhù xiōng kǒu ， zhǐ jiān yǒu xiān xuè shèn chū 。
而林轩并不知道，距此数千里外。一容貌英俊的少年，正用手按住胸口，指尖有鲜血渗出。
"The lingering chaotic energy here suggests he hasn't left for long. We might still catch up with him if we chase after him," another cultivator, dressed like a scholar, analyzed with a solemn expression.
bú yòng shuō ， zhè wèi jiù shì lí yào gōng shǎo zhǔ 。
不用说，这位就是离药宫少主。
"Friend Daoist Chen has a point. Let little sister try to see if she can find his trail."
rán ér cǐ kè ， tián xiǎo jiàn què yī liǎn láng bèi zhī sè 。 xiān shì yī zhèn měng ké ， suí hòu shēn shǒu yī pāi 。 cóng huái zhōng qǔ chū yī xiǎo qiǎo de yù píng lái 。
然而此刻，田小剑却一脸狼狈之色。先是一阵猛咳，随后伸手一拍。从怀中取出一小巧的玉瓶来。
A petite woman spoke next. She looked very cute but was not human; two pairs of transparent dragonfly-like wings adorned her back.
píng kǒu fān zhuǎn ， cóng lǐ miàn dào chū yī lì xīng hóng sè de yào wán 。
瓶口翻转，从里面倒出一粒猩红色的药丸。
"Haha, Daoist Chen has forgotten about the divine lady. Although you are only at the initial stage of transformation, due to your innate talent, your divine sense is almost on par with late-stage cultivators," the scholar smiled and expressed admiration. Unlike humans, there were many types of transformed beasts, each possessing unique abilities.
yǎng tóu tūn fú xià qù ， lüè yī tiáo xī ， liǎn sè zhè cái shāo wēi hǎo kàn le yī xiē 。
仰头吞服下去，略一调息，脸色这才稍微好看了一些。
For example, this woman's divine sense was so powerful that it was terrifying. It was precisely these talents that allowed transformed beasts to steadily outshine human Yuan婴 cultivators after reaching their transformation stage.
tián xiǎo jiàn de biǎo qíng yǒu xiē yīn lì ， hěn hěn kǎn le yī yǎn jiǎo xià de shī tǐ 。
田小剑的表情有些阴历，狠狠砍了一眼脚下的尸体。
Hearing the admiring tone in his voice, the transformed beast woman beamed with pride before closing her eyes and slowly releasing her divine awareness.
nà shì yī xiàng tóu rén shēn de guài wù ， zhèng shì zuó yè zhuī shā tā de huà xíng qī yāo zú 。
那是一象头人身的怪物，正是昨夜追杀他的化形期妖族。
After a few breaths, she opened her eyes, showing a strange expression.
cǐ shí yǐ shēng jī liǎo wú ， hún shēn shàng xià ， bìng wú shāng kǒu ， ér shì bèi yī lán sè de jù bīng fēng zhù 。
此时已生机了无，浑身上下，并无伤口，而是被一蓝色的巨冰封住。
"What's wrong? No收获?"
bú yòng shuō ， sǐ yú sān sè xuán bīng huǒ 。
不用说，死于三色玄冰火。
"Uh-huh," the woman nodded shyly. "That boy is very cunning and skilled in concealment techniques. He must have hidden somewhere."
“ hēng ， xiǎng ná xiǎo yé lǐng gōng ， jiù yào xiān zuò hǎo yǔn luò de jué wù 。”
“哼，想拿小爷领功，就要先做好陨落的觉悟。”
"How can we deal with this?" Several old experts fell silent.
tián xiǎo jiàn hěn hěn de kāi kǒu ， suí hòu shēn chū shǒu lái ， zài yāo jiān yī zhāi ， qǔ chū yī kōng kōng rú yě de líng shòu dài ， jiāng yāo zú de shī tǐ zhuāng le qǐ lái 。
田小剑狠狠的开口，随后伸出手来，在腰间一摘，取出一空空如也的灵兽袋，将妖族的尸体装了起来。
After a long while,
sì jiē yāo shòu ， pí máo gǔ gé ， quán dōu shì jué jiā de liàn qì zhī wù ， tā zì rán bú huì làng fèi fēn háo de 。
四阶妖兽，皮毛骨骼，全都是绝佳的炼器之物，他自然不会浪费分毫的。
"Since we can't find him, let’s just consider it non-existent for now." The scholar slowly spoke.
suí hòu tián xiǎo jiàn bù gǎn zài cǐ dì duō dài ， zhè ér jù lí xuān yuán chéng yǐ jīng bù yuǎn ， rú guǒ jiāng zhí fǎ shǐ yǐn lái ， zì jǐ de xià chǎng huì hěn cǎn 。
随后田小剑不敢在此地多待，这儿距离轩辕城已经不远，如果将执法使引来，自己的下场会很惨。
The others (transformed beasts) hesitated but ultimately nodded and left together.
niàn jí zhì cǐ ， tā cǎo cǎo chǔ lǐ le yī xià shāng shì ， suí hòu huà wèi yī dào bù qǐ yǎn de jīng hóng ， xùn fēi lí le cǐ chù 。
念及至此，他草草处理了一下伤势，随后化为一道不起眼的惊虹，迅飞离了此处。
...
……
……
A hundred miles away, a figure emerged from the ground. Little Sword Tian wiped his forehead with sweat. That transformed beast's divine sense was incredibly strong; he almost revealed his trail.
jǐn jǐn guò le yī dùn fàn gōng fu 。
仅仅过了一顿饭功夫。
This action triggered pain in his injuries, causing Little Sword Tian to wince as he took out several pills to consume, gradually recovering.
yuǎn chù guāng diǎn lián shǎn ， jǐ dào wǔ yán liù sè de dùn guāng fēi le guò lái 。
远处光点连闪，几道五颜六色的遁光飞了过来。
Recalling his past misfortunes, this Young Master of the Separation Medicine Palace sighed.
dù hěn kuài ， piàn kè zhī hòu jiù lái dào gāng gāng tián xiǎo jiàn céng jīng zhàn lì de dì diǎn 。
度很快，片刻之后就来到刚刚田小剑曾经站立的地点。
Misfortune is a single word.
guāng máng shōu liǎn ， lù chū le jǐ gè rén yǐng lái 。
光芒收敛，露出了几个人影来。
After parting ways with Lin Xuan on Cloud Ridge Mountain, he discovered ancient cultivator remains and冒险 entered a teleportation array. After much effort, he indeed found an ancient cultivator’s cave and gained many benefits. However, when it was time to leave, he realized he had inadvertently entered the transformed beast's territory.
sì nán liǎng nǚ ， quán dōu shì yuán yīng jí …… bú duì ， qí zhōng sān gè ， shì rén lèi xiū shì ， lìng wài sān míng ， zé huà xíng qī yāo zú 。
四男两女，全都是元婴级……不对，其中三个，是人类修士，另外三名，则化形期妖族。
Unluckily, several transformed beasts came looking for treasure and caught him right in the middle of his search.
rán ér tā men shēn shàng de fú shì ， què pǒ yǒu jǐ fēn xiāng sì ， yóu qí shì xiōng qián yǔ xiù kǒu ， dōu xiù zhe yī bǐng jīn sè de xiǎo jiàn 。
然而他们身上的服饰，却颇有几分相似，尤其是胸前与袖口，都绣着一柄金色的小剑。
A mere human cultivator, those three transformed beasts naturally wanted to kill and rob him. But they unexpectedly encountered two Void-Breaking cultivators from the Spirit Realm.
xuān yuán chéng zhí fǎ shǐ ！
轩辕城执法使！
Little Sword Tian was clever and alert; he immediately evaded them. However, the three transformed beasts were eliminated by the Spirit Realm cultivators.
ér qiě shì zuì gāo jí de 。
而且是最高级的。
Although he had temporarily escaped danger, he still found himself in the transformed beast's territory, at a very deep location. Even with full-speed travel, it would take two to three months before he could return to human territory.
zhè zhǒng děng jiē de gāo shǒu ， bìng bù fù zé yì bān de zhì xù ， tā men de rèn wù zhǐ yǒu yí gè ， zhì zhǐ bìng chǔ fá gǎn yú wéi fǎn méng yuē ， sī zì dòu fǎ de liǎng
这种等阶的高手，并不负责一般的秩序，他们的任务只有一个，制止并处罚敢于违反盟约，私自斗法的两
Little Sword Tian, though not weak, didn’t dare be so brazen. The transformed beasts wouldn't care about his identity; even if his master came, they might kill him first.
zú gāo jiē cún zài 。
族高阶存在。
After all, while the two races weren’t exactly at odds, one side would certainly take advantage of an isolated individual to strike.
“ hēng ， kàn lái yǐ fēn chū le shèng fù ， nà huó xià lái de xiǎo zi yǐ jīng pǎo le 。” shuō huà de shì yī sān shí yú suì de nán zi ， shēn chuān hēi yī 。 liú lù chū
“哼，看来已分出了胜负，那活下来的小子已经跑了。”说话的是一三十余岁的男子，身穿黑衣。流露出
Thus, he carefully concealed his trail, wanting to quickly return to human territory. At first, everything went smoothly. Little Sword Tian was clever and cautious, able to conceal his aura well. Even when encountering transformed beasts, they were either avoided or swiftly eliminated.
yī gǔ lěng liè de sù shā zhī qì 。
一股冷冽的肃杀之气。
Although this slowed down his journey, it was relatively safe. With a year or two, he should be able to return to human territory.
“ cǐ chù hái cán liú zhe hùn luàn de líng lì ， tā yīng gāi méi yǒu lí kāi duō jiǔ ， zhuī huò xǔ lái de jí 。” lìng yī zuò rú shēng dǎ bàn de xiū shì ， miàn chén shì shuǐ
“此处还残留着混乱的灵力，他应该没有离开多久，追或许来得及。”另一做儒生打扮的修士，面沉似水
However, halfway through the journey, he encountered a huge problem.
de fēn xī 。
的分析。
Little Sword Tian accidentally discovered several rare medicinal herbs on a cliff edge that could be used to refine breakthrough pills.
“ chén dào yǒu zhè huà yǒu lǐ ， jiù ràng xiǎo mèi shì shì ， kàn néng bù néng zhǎo chū tā de xíng jì 。”
“陈道友这话有理，就让小妹试试，看能不能找出他的行迹。”
It’s important to note that breaking through bottlenecks and enhancing mana stones are different. The former requires almost impossible ingredients, making them scarce in the market.
páng biān yī shēn cái jiāo xiǎo de nǚ zǐ kāi kǒu le ， zhǎng de shí fēn kě ài ， rán ér bìng fēi rén zú ， zài tā de bèi hòu ， yǒu liǎng duì xiàng qīng tíng bān de tòu míng yǔ
旁边一身材娇小的女子开口了，长的十分可爱，然而并非人族，在她的背后，有两对像蜻蜓般的透明羽
Seeing this opportunity right before his eyes, Little Sword Tian naturally wouldn’t let it go. However, during the process of gathering herbs, he encountered a transformed beast at the initial stage of transformation.
yì 。
翼。
The transformed beast managed to evade detection by Little Sword Tian’s divine sense, causing him great alarm. But as an initial-stage transformed beast, Little Sword Tian didn't take it seriously.
“ hē hē ， chén mǒu dào jiāng xiān zi wàng le ， nín suī rán shì huà xíng chū qī ， dàn yóu yú tiān fù de yuán gù 。 shén shí jī hū néng yǔ hòu qī de cún zài xiāng bǐ 。”
“呵呵，陈某倒将仙子忘了，您虽然是化形初期，但由于天赋的缘故。神识几乎能与后期的存在相比。”
He immediately harbored murderous intent; revealing his trail here would bring significant trouble.
rú shēng xiào le xiào ， liǎn shàng lù chū jǐ fēn xiàn mù de dào ， yǔ xiū shì bù tóng ， yāo zú zhǒng lèi fán duō 。 jī hū měi yī zhǒng yāo shòu ， dōu yǒu gè zì de shén tōng
儒生笑了笑，脸上露出几分羡慕的道，与修士不同，妖族种类繁多。几乎每一种妖兽，都有各自的神通
However, the female transformed beast saw Little Sword Tian's handsome appearance and became infatuated.
tiān fù 。
天赋。
She was well-known in the transformed beast world for her insatiable lust. Her cultivation techniques were evil and cruel, often capturing human male cultivators to indulge in their essence, only to kill them later.
bǐ rú shuō yǎn qián de nǚ zǐ ， shén shí zhī qiáng 。 jiù dào hài rén tīng wén de dì bù ， yě zhèng shì kào zhe zhè xiē tiān fù ， yāo zú jìn jiē huà xíng qī yǐ hòu ， cái
比如说眼前的女子，神识之强。就到骇人听闻的地步，也正是靠着这些天赋，妖族进阶化形期以后，才
Moreover, she particularly favored handsome men; her cultivation stage wasn’t as important. In human cultivation methods, many suitable for female cultivators had anti-aging effects, but few did so for males.
néng wěn wěn yā guò rén lèi de yuán yīng qī xiū shì yī chóu 。
能稳稳压过人类的元婴期修士一筹。
Thus, many young-looking Yuan婴 female cultivators existed, while male cultivators were often old and feeble. This transformed beast woman wouldn't bother with old men; her victims were usually low-ranking cultivators.
tīng chū duì fāng yǔ qì de xiàn mù ， nà yāo zú nǚ zǐ liǎn shàng liú lù chū yī sī zì dé ， suí hòu bì shàng shuāng mù ， jiāng shén niàn huǎn huǎn fàng chū 。
听出对方语气的羡慕，那妖族女子脸上流露出一丝自得，随后闭上双目，将神念缓缓放出。
She called herself the Fairy Lady of Dizi Bug, while other transformed beasts referred to her as the Dizi Bug Whore.
zhuǎn yǎn guò qù le jǐ xī de gōng fu ， cǐ nǚ zhēng kāi yǎn móu ， liǎn shàng liú lù chū jǐ fēn qí guài zhī sè 。
转眼过去了几息的功夫，此女睁开眼眸，脸上流露出几分奇怪之色。
At this encounter, the Fairy Lady of Dizi Bug was utterly captivated by Little Sword Tian's handsome and graceful appearance. She wanted to capture him back to her cave for her own pleasure.
“ zěn me ， méi yǒu shōu huò ？”
“怎么，没有收获？”
However, Little Sword Tian wasn’t easily defeated; he didn't take an initial-stage transformed beast seriously. However, after their battle, Little Sword Tian was shocked. The opponent’s abilities were mysterious and beyond comparison with other transformed beasts of the same stage.
“ ń 。” nǚ zǐ yǒu xiē xiū nǎo de diǎn le diǎn tóu ：“ nà xiǎo zi ， shí fēn jiǎo huá ， ér qiě shàn cháng yǐn nì zhī shù ， yīng gāi shì duǒ zài shén me dì fāng le 。”
“嗯。”女子有些羞恼的点了点头：“那小子，十分狡猾，而且擅长隐匿之术，应该是躲在什么地方了。”
They fought fiercely until dawn, with Little Sword Tian using all his techniques, even resorting to merging essence and three-colored divine ice fire, barely gaining an upper hand.
“ zhè kě rú hé shì hǎo ？”
“这可如何是好？”
In a critical moment, this woman produced a magical treasure shaped like a hairbrush. Its power was unimaginable.
jǐ míng lǎo guài wù xiàn rù le chén mò 。
几名老怪物陷入了沉默。
Little Sword Tian used every trick in the book but was still captured alive.
liáng jiǔ 。
良久。
First, he was injured by the magical treasure, then his mana was sealed with a strange mist by the transformed beast lady.
“ jì rán zhǎo bú dào ， yòu néng rú hé ， zhè jiàn shì qíng jiù dāng méi yǒu shēng dé le 。” rú shēng huǎn huǎn de kāi kǒu 。
“既然找不到，又能如何，这件事情就当没有生得了。”儒生缓缓的开口。
Little Sword Tian's face paled, but he refused to submit. The Fairy Lady of Dizi Bug’s triumphant laughter echoed in his ears: "Cute young man, stop struggling; you’re quite impressive. Among my peers at your stage, no one can match me, yet you forced me to use a replica divine treasure."
"Is it Little Sword Tian?" Moon said, her expression showing an incredible amount of surprise.
"Not wrong. It's him."
Lin Xuan nodded his head. The distance between them was now about a hundred miles, and with Lin Xuan’s powerful divine sense, he could clearly feel Tian Xiaojian’s aura.
He hadn’t expected to encounter Little Sword Tian here. Despite Lin Xuan’s deep-seated composure, there was still a hint of surprise in his expression.
"Master, should we go see him?" Moon's voice entered his ears.
"It..."
Lin Xuan hesitated as well. According to reason, he was currently in danger and shouldn’t be meddling with trivial matters. But the fact that Little Sword Tian had appeared here piqued his curiosity.
The Cloud Heaven Trade Fair gathered many experts. This boy was the Young Master of the Separation Medicine Palace, so it wasn't unusual for him to appear nearby.

However, Little Sword Tian wasn’t easily defeated; he didn't take an initial-stage transformed beast seriously. However, after their battle, Little Sword Tian was shocked. The opponent’s abilities were mysterious and beyond comparison with other transformed beasts of the same stage.
They fought fiercely until dawn, with Little Sword Tian using all his techniques, even resorting to merging essence and three-colored divine ice fire, barely gaining an upper hand.
In a critical moment, this woman produced a magical treasure shaped like a hairbrush. Its power was unimaginable.
Little Sword Tian used every trick in the book but was still captured alive.
First, he was injured by the magical treasure, then his mana was sealed with a strange mist by the transformed beast lady.
Little Sword Tian's face paled, but he refused to submit. The Fairy Lady of Dizi Bug’s triumphant laughter echoed in his ears: "Cute young man, stop struggling; you’re quite impressive. Among my peers at your stage, no one can match me, yet you forced me to use a replica divine treasure."
