“ xuè líng ， nǐ shuō gōng chuí jiù zài fù gǎo cuò ba ！” nà xiàng mào gǔ yǎ huī chū chuān yóu mù sì gù ， huǎn huǎn de kāi kǒu le 。
“血灵，你说公垂就在附搞错吧！”那相貌古雅辉出川游目四顾，缓缓的开口了。
"Blood Spirit, you think Gong Wei is still in the annex?!" The man with an ancient and elegant appearance looked around, his voice slow as he spoke.
“ fàng xīn ， suī rán yóu yú tiān dì fǎ zé 。 wǒ děng líng jiè xiū shì pò suì xū kōng ， huì dǎo zhì xiū wèi dà jiàng ， bù guò nǐ yīng gāi qīng chǔ ， wǒ běn shì gōng zhǔ de jiàn shì zhī yī ， zì rán huì yǒu yī xiē fāng fǎ ， què dìng zhǔ rén xíng jì 。” nà nǚ zǐ diǎn 、 diǎn tóu 。 liǎn shàng mǎn shì zì xìn zhī sè 。
“放心，虽然由于天地法则。我等灵界修士破碎虚空，会导致修为大降，不过你应该清楚，我本是公主的剑侍之一，自然会有一些方法，确定主人行迹。”那女子点、点头。脸上满是自信之色。
"Rest assured. Although due to the laws of the cosmos, our cultivation will drop significantly when we break through the void, I am one of the princess's sword attendants. Naturally, there are methods that can help us locate her whereabouts," the woman nodded confidently.
“ zhè jiù hǎo ， suī rán wǒ men zhè cì xià lái 。 fù yǒu qiǎng duó nà jiàn dōng xī de rèn wù ， bù guò zuì zhòng yào de ， hái shì yào xún huí gōng zhǔ ， gāng gāng de yuán qì bō dòng ， zhèng míng cǐ dì chū xiàn le lí hé qī xiū xiān zhě ， rú guǒ gōng zhǔ jiù zài fù jìn ， kě shì yǒu xiē bù tài miào de 。” nán zi shuō dào zhè lǐ ， liǎn shàng xiàn chū yōu lǜ 。
“这就好，虽然我们这次下来。负有抢夺那件东西的任务，不过最重要的，还是要寻回公主，刚刚的元气波动，证明此地出现了离合期修仙者，如果公主就在附近，可是有些不太妙的。”男子说到这里，脸上现出忧虑。
"That's good. Even though this time we came down with the task of seizing something, the most important thing is to find the princess. The fluctuations in essence energy just now prove that a Separation Stage cultivator has appeared here. If the princess is nearby, it might not bode well," the man said, his expression turning anxious.
nǚ zǐ tīng le cǐ yǔ ， biǎo qíng tóng yàng tiě qīng xià qù ， rú guǒ xīn yuè yǒu gè hǎo dǎi ， zì jǐ liǎng rén kěn dìng wàn jié bù fù ， zhì yú cǐ chù rén jiè ， kǒng pà yě nán yǐ chéng shòu nà wèi dà rén de nù huǒ ， dàn yuàn nà xiē xià jiè xiū xiān zhě ， qiān wàn bié gàn chū chǔn shì lái le 。
女子听了此语，表情同样铁青下去，如果新月有个好歹，自己两人肯定万劫不复，至于此处人界，恐怕也难以承受那位大人的怒火，但愿那些下界修仙者，千万别干出蠢事来了。
The woman's face turned ashen at these words. If anything happened to the new moon, both of them would be doomed for eternity. As for this world, they likely couldn't withstand the wrath of their superior. Hopefully, those cultivators from the lower realms wouldn't do something foolish.
bì xū jǐn kuài zhǎo dào gōng zhǔ ， suī rán shòu kùn yú tiān dì fǎ zé ， dàn sān rén hé lì ， yě bù jù pǔ tōng lí hé qī 。
必须尽快找到公主，虽然受困于天地法则，但三人合力，也不惧普通离合期。
They must find the princess quickly. Although constrained by the laws of the cosmos, with three people working together, they weren't afraid of a common Separation Stage cultivator.
nǚ zǐ xiǎng dào cǐ chù ， dùn guāng sà rán yī huǎn ， tíng le xià lái
女子想到此处，遁光飒然一缓，停了下来
The woman's expression changed as she slowed her light form. "Blood Spirit, what is it?" The man was taken aback and showed some surprise on his face.
“ xuè líng ， zěn me ？” nà nán zi yī dāi ， liǎn shàng bù yóu de lù chū jǐ fēn chà yì zhī sè lái 。
“血灵，怎么？”那男子一呆，脸上不由得露出几分诧异之色来。
Without replying, the woman opened her mouth and expelled a stream of qi that spiraled into a ball. She then cut her thumb and dripped several drops of blood onto it. With several hand gestures, the ball turned blood red and shot off towards the distance with a whoosh.
nǚ zǐ méi yǒu huí dá ， ér shì zhāng kāi tán kǒu 。 yī dào jīng qì pēn chū ， lüè yī pán xuán ， huà wèi yí gè yuán qiú ， suí hòu tā jiāng mǔ zhǐ gē pò ， dī le jǐ dī jīng xuè zài qí zhōng 。
女子没有回答，而是张开檀口。一道精气喷出，略一盘旋，化为一个圆球，随后她将拇指割破，滴了几滴精血在其中。
Her face lit up with joy: "Right! The princess is not far from us now. Let's go!"
shuāng shǒu huī wǔ ， jiē lián jǐ dào fǎ jué dǎ chū 。 nà yuán qiú biàn chéng le xuè hóng zhī sè ， sōu de yī shēng 。 jī shè xiàng yuǎn chù 。
双手挥舞，接连几道法诀打出。那圆球变成了血红之色，嗖的一声。激射像远处。
On the other side, where Lin Xuan and his companions had fought before,
nǚ zǐ liǎn shàng mǎn shì xǐ sè ：“ méi cuò ， gōng zhǔ lí wǒ men yǐ jīng bù yuǎn le ， kuài zǒu ！”
女子脸上满是喜色：“没错，公主离我们已经不远了，快走！”
The sun and moon were obscured by darkness, and black dust floated above. The ground was scarred like it had been trampled by some ancient beast, with deep, endless trenches crisscrossing everywhere. Within a twenty-li radius, all the mountains had collapsed into piles of rubble. This entire area resembled a shattered landscape.
lìng yī biān ， cái cái lín xuān sān rén céng jīng jiāo zhàn de dì diǎn 。
另一边，才才林轩三人曾经交战的地点。
Roar!
rì yuè wú guāng ， tiān sè hūn àn ， tóu dǐng shàng piāo fú zhe hēi sè de chén āi 。
日月无光，天色昏暗，头顶上漂浮着黑色的尘埃。
A dull rumble came from underground, revealing a large hole where Hui Tong had stood. The circular opening was about seven zhang in diameter and went deep beyond sight. A bright light suddenly appeared at the bottom, drawing essence energy from the surrounding space.
zhì yú dì miàn ， fǎng fú bèi shén me hóng huāng jù shòu róu lìn guò yì bān ， yī tiáo tiáo jù dà de gōu hè ， shēn bú jiàn dǐ ， zòng héng jiāo cuò zài yì qǐ 。 fāng yuán èr shí lǐ de shān fēng ， quán bù guǎi tā le xià qù ， zhǐ shèng xià yī duī duī suì shí ， dà xiǎo bù yī ， zhè zhěng gè móu jìn ， jiù shì yī piàn pò suì de dà dì 。
至于地面，仿佛被什么洪荒巨兽蹂躏过一般，一条条巨大的沟壑，深不见底，纵横交错在一起。方圆二十里的山峰，全部拐塌了下去，只剩下一堆堆碎石，大小不一，这整个眸近，就是一片破碎的大地。
From this opening, an enormous beam of light shot up into the sky, containing a terrifying amount of spiritual power that made one's heart race. The dust in the air was blown away, and the space twisted, splitting open a crack. The beam entered it.
hǒu ！
吼！
This wasn't breaking through the void, but the sheer force of the spiritual energy was enough to be shocking.
tū rán yǒu yī chén mèn de jù xiǎng cóng dì dǐ chuán chū ， què shì huì tōng gāng gāng zhàn lì zhī chù ， chū xiàn le yí gè dà dòng ， dòng kǒu chéng yuán xíng ， zhí jìng zú yǒu qī zhàng zuǒ yòu ， shēn bú jiàn dǐ ， tū rán dòng dǐ shēn chù 。 chū xiàn le yì diǎn liàng guāng ， fù jìn de tiān dì yuán qì fēng kuáng yǒng rù 。
突然有一沉闷的巨响从地底传出，却是慧通刚刚站立之处，出现了一个大洞，洞口呈圆形，直径足有七丈左右，深不见底，突然洞底深处。出现了一点亮光，附近的天地元气疯狂涌入。
"Huff, huff!"
suí hòu ， cóng nà dòng kǒu lǐ miàn ， pēn shè chū yī dào jù dà de guāng zhù ， zhí shè cāng qióng ， lǐ miàn yùn hán zhe lìng rén xīn jīng ròu tiào de líng lì 。
随后，从那洞口里面，喷射出一道巨大的光柱，直射苍穹，里面蕴含着令人心惊肉跳的灵力。
Breathing sounds reached their ears as golden light flashed from the opening, revealing Hui Tong's figure. He looked nothing like the Separation Stage cultivator standing at the peak of this world; he appeared utterly disheveled.
tiān kōng zhōng de chén āi ， quán bù bèi chuī sàn ， kōng jiān niǔ qū ， jìng rán bèi yìng shēng shēng de sī kāi yī dào liè fèng ， suí hòu guāng zhù mò rù qí zhōng 。
天空中的尘埃，全部被吹散，空间扭曲，竟然被硬生生的撕开一道裂缝，随后光柱没入其中。
His robe had vanished, and his monk's robes were in tatters, making him look more like a beggar by the city gate than a high-ranking monk.
zhè dāng rán bú shì pò suì xū kōng ， dàn néng gòu jiāng kōng jiān sī liè ， zú kě jiàn zhè lǐ miàn měng hán de líng lì 。 shì duō me lìng rén chù mù jīng xīn 。
这当然不是破碎虚空，但能够将空间撕裂，足可见这里面猛含的灵力。是多么令人触目惊心。
Despite still having formidable spiritual pressure, it was much weaker than before. His face was filled with hatred.
“ hū ， hū ！”
“呼，呼！”
Since advancing to Separation Stage, no one except those few old-timers had ever made him feel so humiliated.
chuǎn qì shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， dòng kǒu chù jīn guāng yī shǎn ， yí gè rén yǐng xiǎn xiàn ， bú yòng shuō ， zì rán shì huì tōng tū lǘ ， rán ér cǐ shí cǐ kè ， tā nǎ lǐ hái xiàng zhàn zài rén jiè dǐng diǎn de lí hé qī xiū xiān zhě 。 zhěng gè xíng xiàng láng bèi dào le jí chù 。
喘气声传入耳朵，洞口处金光一闪，一个人影显现，不用说，自然是慧通秃驴，然而此时此刻，他哪里还像站在人界顶点的离合期修仙者。整个形象狼狈到了极处。
Feeling depressed and scared at the same time, he thought that just now had been too close. That Lin Xuan, an early-stage Essence Body cultivator, could have such terrifying strength was frightening. If he were to advance to Separation Stage one day,
jiā shā yǐ jīng méi yǒu le ， sēng páo yě pò pò làn làn de ， kàn shàng qù bù xiàng dà dé gāo sēng ， dào yǔ chéng mén kǒu de qǐ gài ， pǒ yǒu jǐ fēn xiāng sì zhī chù 。
袈裟已经没有了，僧袍也破破烂烂的，看上去不像大德高僧，倒与城门口的乞丐，颇有几分相似之处。
Hui Tong didn't dare to think about it. If that happened, would the Ten Thousand Buddha Sect still exist? He should never have provoked this formidable enemy.
tā hún shēn de líng yā suī rán yī jiù fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， dàn bǐ qǐ gāng cái ， míng xiǎn yǐ dà wèi jiǎn ruò ， liǎn shàng mǎn shì yuàn dú 。
他浑身的灵压虽然依旧非同小可，但比起刚才，明显已大为减弱，脸上满是怨毒。
But now, it was too late to regret. He had to eliminate him before he grew stronger and threaten his existence.
zì cóng jìn jiē lí hé qī yǐ hòu ， chú le nà jǐ míng tóng jiē de lǎo bù sǐ ， hái cóng lái méi yǒu rén néng gòu ràng zì jǐ láng bèi dào zhè ge chéng dù 。
自从进阶离合期以后，除了那几名同阶的老不死，还从来没有人能够让自己狼狈到这个程度。
Boy, do you think you can escape the Buddha's palm?
xīn zhōng yù mèn de tóng shí ， yě gǎn dào yī xiē hài pà 。 gāng gāng hǎo xiǎn ， zì jǐ chà yì diǎn jiù dǐng bú zhù ， nà lín xiǎo zi bù guò yuán yīng zhōng qī ， jiù yǒu zhè yàng kě pà de shí lì ， rú guǒ yǒu zhāo yī rì 。 tā yě jìn jiē dào lí hé ，，
心中郁闷的同时，也感到一些害怕。刚刚好险，自己差一点就顶不住，那林小子不过元婴中期，就有这样可怕的实力，如果有朝一日。他也进阶到离合，，
Hui Tong's eyes flashed with a glint as his killing intent burst forth. He was about to release his divine sense to locate Lin Xuan when a fiery light appeared in his vision.
huì tōng bù gǎn xiǎng le ， zhēn dào nà shí hòu 。 wàn fú zōng hái yǒu kě néng cún zài me ？ zǎo zhī rú cǐ 。 jiù bù gāi zhāo rě zhè míng dà dí 。
慧通不敢想了，真到那时候。万佛宗还有可能存在么？早知如此。就不该招惹这名大敌。
A sound transmission talisman?
bù guò xiàn zài hòu huǐ yě wǎn le ， bì xū chèn zhe duì fāng shàng wèi chéng zhǎng qǐ lái ， xiān jiāng tā è shā zài yáo lán lǐ 。
不过现在后悔也晚了，必须趁着对方尚未成长起来，先将他扼杀在摇篮里。
Hui Tong was taken aback.
xiǎo zi ， nǐ yǐ wéi néng táo chū fó yé de shǒu xīn ？
小子，你以为能逃出佛爷的手心？
He reached out and caught the sound transmission talisman, sinking his divine sense into it. Soon, he raised his head with a look of hesitation on his face.
huì tōng yǎn zhōng jīng máng shǎn shuò ， hún shēn de shā qì pēn bó ér chū ， tā zhèng zhǔn bèi fàng chū shén shí ， xún zhǎo lín xuān de zōng jì ， tū rán yī dào huǒ guāng chū xiàn zài le shì xiàn lǐ 。
慧通眼中精芒闪烁，浑身的杀气喷薄而出，他正准备放出神识，寻找林轩的踪迹，突然一道火光出现在了视线里。
Of course, this must be Xiaohou Lan's work.
chuán yīn fú ？
传音符？
"Looks like this girl is indeed from the spirit realm. This trouble will be immense."
huì tōng bù yóu de yī è 。
慧通不由得一愕。
Hui Tong scoffed at the idea that the sound transmission talisman was from an Immortal, but after the cosmic anomalies, someone who could still break through the void must be a formidable existence in the spirit realm as well.
shēn shǒu yī zhāo ， nà chuán yīn fú jiù luò rù le zhǎng xīn zhī zhōng ， tā jiāng shén shí chén rù 。
伸手一招，那传音符就落入了掌心之中，他将神识沉入。
Compared to Lin Xuan, this girl posed a greater threat. Just like her first words, even if he ascended to the higher realms, he would face the danger of his soul and body being scattered.
hěn kuài tái qǐ tóu ， liǎn shàng shǎn guò yī sī chóu chú 。
很快抬起头，脸上闪过一丝踌躇。
Weighing the pros and cons, Hui Tong released his divine sense, quickly locking onto Xiaohou Lan's whereabouts. This girl had not hidden her aura at all, trying to lead away a powerful enemy for her brother.
bú yòng shuō ， cǐ fú shì xià hóu lán chū 。
不用说，此符是夏侯兰出。
Hui Tong was taken aback but then showed a cruel expression. In the cultivation world, the weak were preyed upon by the strong. As an existence from the higher realms, this girl doing such self-sacrificing deeds was incredibly foolish.
“ kàn lái cǐ nǚ hái zhēn shì líng jiè xiū xiān zhě ， zhè huí má fán zhēn shì dà le 。”
“看来此女还真是灵界修仙者，这回麻烦真是大了。”
If you want to die, I'll make it happen. Even if you're formidable in the higher realms now, you're still at the Essence Body stage.
duì yú chuán yīn fú zhōng sàn xiān zhī nǚ de shuō fǎ 。 huì tōng chī zhī yǐ bí ， bù guò tiān dì yì biàn yǐ hòu ， hái néng xiǎng bàn fǎ pò suì xū kōng xià lái 。 bú yòng shuō ， kěn dìng zài líng jiè yě shì liǎo bù qǐ de cún zài 。
对于传音符中散仙之女的说法。慧通嗤之以鼻，不过天地异变以后，还能想办法破碎虚空下来。不用说，肯定在灵界也是了不起的存在。
Moreover, capturing her and using soul probing techniques might yield countless benefits.
xiāng bǐ lín xuān ， cǐ nǚ duì zì jǐ de wēi xié gèng dà ， jiù xiàng tā zuì xiān shuō de huà ， zì jǐ jí shǐ fēi shēng dào shàng jiè ， yě jiāng miàn lín hún fēi pò sàn de wēi xiǎn 。
相比林轩，此女对自己的威胁更大，就像她最先说的话，自己即使飞升到上界，也将面临魂飞魄散的危险。
With that thought, Hui Tong cast aside Lin Xuan's threat, spun around, and transformed into a streak of golden light, flying towards Xiaohou Lan's location.
quán héng lì bì ， huì tōng fàng chū shén shí ， hěn kuài jiù suǒ dìng le xià hóu lán de zōng jì ， zhè yā tou wèi le tì dà gē yǐn kāi qiáng dí ， kě shì sī háo yě méi yǒu shōu liǎn qì xī 。
权衡利弊，慧通放出神识，很快就锁定了夏侯兰的踪迹，这丫头为了替大哥引开强敌，可是丝毫也没有收敛气息。
On another small hill about ten thousand li away,
huì tōng yī è ， suí hòu liǎn shàng lù chū cán rěn zhī sè 。 xiū xiān jiè ruò ròu qiáng shí ， cǐ nǚ shēn wèi shàng jiè cún zài ， què zuò chū zhè yàng shě jǐ wèi rén de shì ， zhēn shì yú chǔn zhī jí 。
慧通一愕，随后脸上露出残忍之色。修仙界弱肉强食，此女身为上界存在，却做出这样舍己为人的事，真是愚蠢之极。
Two people stood facing each other on the peak. The left person was a stunning beauty in her early twenties, with an absolutely breathtaking appearance and figure that made one drool. Her smooth, fair skin emitted a faint fragrance, not from rouge but from her natural aroma.
xiǎng sǐ ， fó yé jiù chéng quán nǐ ， guǎn nǐ zài shàng jiè duō liǎo bù qǐ ， xiàn zài bù guò yuán yīng qī 。
想死，佛爷就成全你，管你在上界多了不起，现在不过元婴期。
Lady Meng Ruoyan!
ér qiě zhuā zhù cǐ nǚ shī zhǎn sōu hún zhī shù ， shuō bù dìng hái yǒu shù zhī bù jìn de hǎo chù 。
而且抓住此女施展搜魂之术，说不定还有数之不尽的好处。
The right person was an old man in gray robes who looked to be in his sixties, appearing spirited. What was more bizarre was the absence of any spiritual energy fluctuations on him, making him seem like an ordinary mortal.
xiǎng dào zhè lǐ ， huì tōng jiāng lín xuān de wēi xié pāo zhū nǎo hòu ， dī liū liū yī zhuǎn ， huà wèi yī dào jīn hóng 。 xiàng xià hóu lán suǒ zài de fāng xiàng fēi lüè ér qù le 。
想到这里，慧通将林轩的威胁抛诸脑后，滴溜溜一转，化为一道金虹。像夏侯兰所在的方向飞掠而去了。
However, Lady Meng Ruoyan felt as if she were facing a formidable enemy. How could there still be another Separation Stage cultivator here?
lìng yī biān ， jù lí cǐ chù yuē wàn lǐ zhī yáo de yī zuò xiǎo shān 。
另一边，距离此处约万里之遥的一座小山。
In the entire Twelve States of the Heavens and Clouds, the combined number of human and demon Separation Stage existences was only a handful, all interconnected. Why didn't she recognize this person.
shān dǐng shàng ， liǎng rén zhèng yáo yáo duì zhì 。
山顶上，两人正遥遥对峙。
Could it be someone who just recently advanced or a hermit in the deep mountains and forests?
zuǒ biān zhī rén ， shì yī qīng guó qīng chéng de měi nǚ ， kàn shàng qù dà yuē èr shí chū tóu nián jì ， róng mào yǐ shì jué sè 。 nà shēn cái gèng shì ràng rén chuí xián bù yǐ ， jī fū guāng huá bái zhé ， hái sàn zhe yī gǔ dàn dàn de xiāng qì ， kě bú shì yòng le yān zhī ， ér shì nǚ ér jiā běn shēn de xiāng qì 。
左边之人，是一倾国倾城的美女，看上去大约二十出头年纪，容貌已是绝色。那身材更是让人垂涎不已，肌肤光滑白哲，还散着一股淡淡的香气，可不是用了胭脂，而是女儿家本身的香气。
Lady Meng Ruoyan did not think about Luo Family's involvement. Although she had been tasked by Wangting Lou to capture one of their disciples, that person's cultivation was low, unable to access core secrets, and didn't even know there was an old Separation Stage ancestor in his family.
rú yān xiān zi ！
如嫣仙子！
It was precisely because of this reason that Lady Meng Ruoyan did not take Luo Family's plot seriously. Otherwise, she might have refused Wangting Lou's request for help. If the Luo Family truly turned things around, it would be bad news for the Heavenly Sea Pavilion.
"Blood Spirit, you think Gong Wei is still in the annex?!" The man with an ancient and elegant appearance looked around, his voice slow as he spoke.
"Rest assured. Although due to the laws of the cosmos, our cultivation will drop significantly when we break through the void, I am one of the princess's sword attendants. Naturally, there are methods that can help us locate her whereabouts," the woman nodded confidently.
