bó yǒu shì shuí ， wèi hé lán zhù qiè shēn jiān lù 。” rú yān xiān zi xiù méi wēi zhòu huǎn kāi kǒu 。
箔友是谁，为何拦住妾身尖路。”如嫣仙子秀眉微皱缓开口。
"Who is this foil friend, why did he block my path?" Lady Meng Ruyan's delicate brows furrowed as she spoke.
luó jiā lǎo zǔ méi yǒu lì kè huí dá shén me 。 liǎn shàng mǎn shì dàn rán zhī sè ， rán ér xīn zhōng què yǒu rú jīng tāo hài làng bān fān yǒng 。
罗家老祖没有立刻回答什么。脸上满是淡然之色，然而心中却有如惊涛骇浪般翻涌。
The Patriarch of the Luo family did not immediately respond. His face was calm, but his heart was like a tumultuous sea.
yǎn qián de nǚ zǐ tā suī wèi qīn yǎn jiàn guò ， dàn zì rán shí dé ， luó jiā shǐ zhì fù chóu ， zhè xiē nián lái ， duì yú qī pài de gāo céng rén wù 。 tā tōng guò zhū duō qú dào ， yì zhí zài liú yì zhe 。
眼前的女子他虽未亲眼见过，但自然识得，罗家矢志复仇，这些年来，对于七派的高层人物。他通过诸多渠道，一直在留意着。
Though he had never seen this woman in person, he naturally recognized her. The Luo family vowed revenge, and over these years, through various channels, he had kept an eye on the high-ranking figures from the Seven Sects.
méi xiǎng dào huì zài cǐ chù yǔ tiān yá hǎi gé de tài shàng zhǎng lǎo xiá lù xiāng féng ， mèng rú yān zài cǐ chù ， zhè me shuō ， gāng gāng nà hùn luàn de tiān dì yuán qì ， bìng fēi tā yǐn qǐ ， fù jìn hái yǒu yí gè lí hé qī lǎo guài wù ， zhè kě yǒu xiē bù miào le 。
没想到会在此处与天涯海阁的太上长老狭路相逢，梦如嫣在此处，这么说，刚刚那混乱的天地元气，并非她引起，附近还有一个离合期老怪物，这可有些不妙了。
He did not expect to encounter the Supreme Elder of the Sky Sea Pavilion here. If Lady Meng Ruyan was here, then it meant that the chaotic fluctuations in the primordial energy were not caused by her. There must be another Separation and Union stage powerhouse nearby—this was not good news at all.
yǎn zhū zhuǎn dòng ， zhèng sī liáng zhe xià yī bù de xíng dòng 。 hǎo tīng què dài zháo huǒ qì de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ：“ dào yǒu wèi hé chén mò ， nán dào nǐ yě shì shòu wàn fú zōng tū lǘ suǒ tuō ， xiǎng yào zǔ zhǐ wǒ ？”
眼珠转动，正思量着下一步的行动。好听却带着火气的声音传入耳朵：“道友为何沉默，难道你也是受万佛宗秃驴所托，想要阻止我？”
His eyes darted as he pondered his next move. A voice with a pleasant but fiery tone entered his ears: "Why are you silent, friend? Aren't you also one of the Buddha Sect's bald monks who want to stop me?"
luó jiā lǎo zǔ yī dāi ， xīn niàn diàn zhuǎn ， yǐ dào zuǐ biān de huà yǔ suō le huí lái 。
罗家老祖一呆，心念电转，已到嘴边的话语缩了回来。
The Patriarch of the Luo family froze, his mind racing, and the words on his lips retreated.
jīng guò zhè xiē nián de guān chá ， tā xiàn qī pài bìng fēi jǐ bǎi wàn nián qián ， tiě bǎn yī kuài ， yě nán guài 。 nà shí hòu ， tā men yǒu tiān zhōu luó jiā ， zhè ge gòng tóng de qiáng dà dí rén cún zài 。
经过这些年的观察，他现七派并非几百万年前，铁板一块，也难怪。那时候，他们有天州罗家，这个共同的强大敌人存在。
After years of observation, he realized that the Seven Sects were not as united as they had been a million years ago. This made sense; back then, their common enemy was the Tianzhou Luo family.
rú jīn ， luó jiā huà wèi le huī yān ， qī dà shì lì lián zài yì qǐ ， kě yǐ hào lìng shí èr zhōu xiū xiān jiè 。 biǎo miàn suī rán mò qì ， sī dǐ xià ， què miǎn bù liǎo zhēng quán duó lì ， zì rán huì yǒu xián xì 。
如今，罗家化为了灰烟，七大势力连在一起，可以号令十二州修仙界。表面虽然默契，私底下，却免不了争权夺利，自然会有嫌隙。
Now, with the Luo family decimated, the Seven Sects were the top existence in the mortal realm. They cherished their lives and would never engage in reckless combat against peers. But what about Lady Meng Ruyan? She seemed to have no recognition of him but charged forward with a murderous intent.
tiān yá hǎi gé piān jū hǎi wài ， suī shuō yǔ nèi lù shǎo yǒu wǎng lái ， dàn yóu yú xìng gé de yuán gù ， duì yú jiǎ rén jiǎ yì de wàn fú zōng ， rú yān xiān zi yí xiàng kàn bù qǐ 。
天涯海阁偏居海外，虽说与内陆少有往来，但由于性格的缘故，对于假仁假义的万佛宗，如嫣仙子一向看不起。
She must be mad!
shuāng fāng zhī rǎn ， běn lái jiù yǒu máo dùn ， xiàn zài kàn lái ，， suī rán bù liǎo jiě shì qíng de shǐ mò ， dàn luó jiā lǎo zǔ ， shì hé děng xīn hěn fù hēi de rén wù ， méi tóu yī tiāo ， yǐ xiǎng hǎo le yìng duì zhī cè 。
双方之冉，本来就有矛盾，现在看来，，虽然不了解事情的始末，但罗家老祖，是何等心狠腹黑的人物，眉头一挑，已想好了应对之策。
I didn't even claim her as my wife; why is she trying to kill me?
rú guǒ néng jiā dà qī pài jiān de liè hén ， shèn zhì tiāo qǐ tā men zhī jiān de fēn zhēng ， duì yú luó jiā de hǎo chù ， zì rán shì bù yán ér yù de 。
如果能加大七派间的裂痕，甚至挑起他们之间的纷争，对于罗家的好处，自然是不言而喻的。
The Patriarch of the Luo family was both shocked and angry, but then he became ecstatic. Lady Meng Ruyan's intense reaction meant that if he could detain her, would the Buddha Sect and Sky Sea Pavilion become mortal enemies?
“ xiān zi yòu hé bì míng zhī gù wèn ne ， bù cuò ， huì tōng dào yǒu yǔ zài xià nǎi shì mò nì zhī jiāo ， yǒu rén de zhè diǎn máng qǐ néng bù bāng ， wǒ quàn xiān zi ， hái shì bú yào duō guǎn xián shì ”
“仙子又何必明知故问呢，不错，慧通道友与在下乃是莫逆之交，友人的这点忙岂能不帮，我劝仙子，还是不要多管闲事”
With a deep breath, he extended his hand, tapped his head, and a fan flew out from his mouth.
“ zhǎo sǐ ！”
“找死！”
Only an inch long, it rapidly expanded under a spell.
yǐ mèng rú yān huǒ là de xìng gé ， nǎ yǒu xīn qíng tīng duì fāng zài zhè lǐ màn màn luó suo 。 gāng gāng yī dào jīng rén de líng lì zhí shè tiān kōng ， rán ér tā quán lì fàng chū shén shí ， què zài yě gǎn jué bú dào lín xuān de qì xī 。
以梦如嫣火辣的性格，哪有心情听对方在这里慢慢罗嗦。刚刚一道惊人的灵力直射天空，然而她全力放出神识，却再也感觉不到林轩的气息。
"Madam, I was entrusted with this task. Regardless of what happens, I will not let anything bad happen to Master Huitong," the Patriarch said with righteous indignation as he pointed at the fan.
suī bù gǎn kěn dìng lín xuān jiù yí dìng yǔn luò 。 kě tā miàn duì de shì lí hé qī xiū xiān zhě ， huì tōng de rén pǐn zàn qiě bù shuō ， fǎ lì kě shì bù lín xuān lín xuān yī ān shì xiōng duō jí shǎo 。
虽不敢肯定林轩就一定陨落。可他面对的是离合期修仙者，慧通的人品暂且不说，法力可是不林轩林轩一安是凶多吉少。
The surface of the fan bore a vivid image of a great phoenix—sharp talons and beak, red eyes.
niàn jí zhì cǐ ， mèng rú yān yòu jīng yòu nù 。 zì rán shì háo bù yóu yù de dòng shǒu le 。
念及至此，梦如嫣又惊又怒。自然是毫不犹豫的动手了。
"Quickly!"
zhè sān huí ， tā dòng le zhēn huǒ ， yù shǒu yī fú 。 yī bǐng lǜ sè de xiān jiàn yǐ fú xiàn zài le shǒu zhōng 。
这三回，她动了真火，玉手一拂。一柄绿色的仙剑已浮现在了手中。
With a spell from the Patriarch, an eagle's cry echoed. The great phoenix vanished inside the fan, but the sky suddenly darkened.
fù jìn de tiān dì yuán qì fēng kuáng yǒng rù ， huàn huà chū wàn qiān bù yǐng 。 jí cì xiàng duì fāng de tóu lú 。
附近的天地元气疯狂涌入，幻化出万千步影。急刺像对方的头颅。
Not because of changing weather; sunlight was blocked by a large bird hovering above them.
zhè nǎ lǐ hái shì dòng shǒu ， jiǎn zhí yǔ pīn mìng chà bu duō ！
这哪里还是动手，简直与拼命差不多！
The body of this bird was enormous—wingspan over a hundred zhang, resembling a mountain in size. A storm emerged with each flap of its wings.
luó jiā lǎo zǔ wáng hún dà mào ， qíng bào shuō ， mèng rú yān zuò shì bù jì hòu guǒ ， chuán yán bù jǐn méi yǒu kuā dà zhī chù ， sì hū hái suō xiǎo le 。
罗家老祖亡魂大冒，情报说，梦如嫣做事不计后果，传言不仅没有夸大之处，似乎还缩小了。
A divine treasure!
xū zhī lí hé qī xiū shì zhī jiān ， jí biàn dòng shǒu ， duō shǎo yě huì liú yī xiē yú dì ， yǐ qiē cuō wéi zhǔ 。 bì jìng jiù rén jiè ér yán ， tā men yǐ shì zuì dǐng jiān de cún zài ， duì yú zì jǐ de xiǎo mìng zhēn xī wú bǐ 。 shuí yě bú huì chī bǎo le chēng de ， qù yǔ yī míng tóng jiē xiū shì chéng wéi shēng sǐ dà dí 。
须知离合期修士之间，即便动手，多少也会留一些余地，以切磋为主。毕竟就人界而言，他们已是最顶尖的存在，对于自己的小命珍惜无比。谁也不会吃饱了撑的，去与一名同阶修士成为生死大敌。
Lady Meng Ruyan's eyes flashed with surprise. This great phoenix was no ordinary entity; even an Incarnation Stage cultivator would be terrified. But as a Separation and Union stage powerhouse, she had nothing to fear.
kě zhè mèng rú yān zěn me huí shì ， kàn tā de biǎo qíng 。 míng xiǎn méi yǒu jiāng zì jǐ rèn chū ， què yī yán bù hé ， jiù zhè yàng shā qì téng téng de chōng guò lái le 。
可这梦如嫣怎么回事，看她的表情。明显没有将自己认出，却一言不合，就这样杀气腾腾的冲过来了。
So what?
fēng le ！
疯了！
It was just a spell that allowed the beast's soul to absorb primordial energy and manifest this power.
wǒ yòu méi qiǎng chēng lǎo gōng ， mí zhǎo wǒ pīn mìng gàn má ？
我又没抢称老公，弥找我拼命干嘛？
A snow-like green sword and its shadow merged, turning into a green tidal wave aimed at the great phoenix's head.
luó jiā lǎo zǔ jīng nù jiāo jiā ， dàn yī zhuǎn niàn 。 què yòu kuáng xǐ ， mèng rú yān rú cǐ jī liè de fǎn yìng ， suī rán bù zhī dào yuán yīn shì shén me ， dàn rú guǒ zì jǐ jiāng tā chán zhù ， hái pà wàn fú zōng yǔ tiān yá hǎi gé chéng le bù shēng sǐ dà dí ？
罗家老祖惊怒交加，但一转念。却又狂喜，梦如嫣如此激烈的反应，虽然不知道原因是什么，但如果自己将她缠住，还怕万佛宗与天涯海阁成了不生死大敌？
The eagle's cry echoed in his ears. The great phoenix did not wait for punishment; it grabbed downward with its talons, and lightning spheres appeared on the surface of the eagle's claws.
xiǎng dào zhè lǐ ， tā xī le kǒu qì ， shēn chū shǒu lái ， zài hòu nǎo yī pāi ， yī bǐng zhé shàn cóng kǒu zhōng fēi lüè chū lái 。
想到这里，他吸了口气，伸出手来，在后脑一拍，一柄折扇从口中飞掠出来。
Each sphere was over seven zhang in diameter, charging towards the Green Shadow Snow Sword's fierce light.
jǐn yǒu cùn xǔ zhǎng ， dàn zài fǎ jué yī cuī zhī xià ， què yòu xùn bào zhǎng 。
仅有寸许长，但在法诀一催之下，却又迅暴涨。
Two Separation and Union stage existences, one trying to save someone while the other harbored sinister intentions. The battle raged fiercely, far more intense than when Master Huitong fought Xiaohou Lan earlier.
“ xiān zi ， shòu rén zhī tuō ， zhōng rén zhī shì 。 zài xià jì rán dā yìng le huì tōng dà shī ， wú lùn rú hé bú huì ràng chēng huài tā de hǎo shì
“仙子，受人之托，忠人之事。在下既然答应了慧通大师，无论如何不会让称坏他的好事
Fortunately, they were in a remote area; if this had happened in Xuan Yuan City, it would have caused chaos.
luó jiā lǎo zǔ mǎn liǎn zhèng qì ， shēn zhǐ yì diǎn ， tóng yàng yǒu jí wéi jīng chún de tiān dì yuán qì yǒng rù zhé shàn 。
罗家老祖满脸正气，伸指一点，同样有极为精纯的天地元气涌入折扇。
The outcome of their battle was uncertain, but elsewhere, Lin Xuan emerged from the ground.
zhé shàn biǎo miàn ， yǒu yī xǔ xǔ rú shēng de dà péng tú àn 。 jiān zhǎo lì huì ， yǎn jīng zhī chù 。 què shì xuè hóng sè de guāng diǎn 。
折扇表面，有一栩栩如生的大鹏图案。尖爪利喙，眼睛之处。却是血红色的光点。
His expression was grim. Initially, he had hidden, but as time passed, something seemed off to him. Even though his recondite energy technique was subtle and Master Huitong couldn't sense it, his divine sense should have swept over the area. Yet after so long, Lin Xuan felt nothing.
“ jí ！”
“疾！”
In other words, Master Huitong didn't follow up on him.
luó jiā lǎo zǔ yī dào fǎ jué dǎ qù ， liáo liàng de yīng míng chuán rù ěr lǐ ， zhé shàn zhōng de dà péng xiāo shī ， ér tiān kōng què yī xià zi àn le xià lái 。
罗家老祖一道法诀打去，嘹亮的鹰鸣传入耳里，折扇中的大鹏消失，而天空却一下子暗了下来。
Where did he go?
bù ， bìng fēi tiān sè biàn huàn ， ér shì yáng guāng bèi dǎng zhù ， yī dà cè fú xiàn zài tóu dǐng zhōng 。
不，并非天色变幻，而是阳光被挡住，一大册浮现在头顶中。
With his cunning and experience, Lin Xuan deduced that Sister Xiao Mei must be leading Master Huitong away to save herself. He could not leave her in danger.
cǐ niǎo de shēn tǐ ， páng dà dé bù kě sī yì 。 guāng shì yì zhǎn jiù guò le bǎi zhàng ， zhěng gè shēn qū 。 jiǎn zhí jiù yǔ yī zuò shān de tǐ jī xiāng sì 。
此鸟的身体，庞大得不可思议。光是翼展就过了百丈，整个身躯。简直就与一座山的体积相似。
Though the mortal world was a dog-eat-dog place where everyone was selfish, selling out loved ones for survival wasn't an option for him.
chì bǎng qīng qīng yī shàn ， jiù yǒu fēng bào fú xiàn 。
翅膀轻轻一扇，就有风暴浮现。
Facing enemies, he could be more ruthless and heartless than other cultivators, but when it came to his family and friends, Lin Xuan always protected them.
qì líng zhī bǎo ！
器灵之宝！
Even if the path of immortality was difficult, one must have principles. Without a basic sense of right and wrong, what was the point of achieving immortality?
rú yān xiān zi de měi mù ， shǎn guò yī fēn chà yì zhī sè ， zhè dà péng fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， yuán yīng xiū shì jiàn le ， yě huì dǎn hán dǒu ， bù guò zuò wéi lí hé xiū shì ， tā què bú huì wèi jù shén me 。
如嫣仙子的美目，闪过一分诧异之色，这大鹏非同小可，元婴修士见了，也会胆寒抖，不过作为离合修士，她却不会畏惧什么。
Two hundred years of bloodshed had made him cunning and mature, but he clung to this moral compass.
dà yòu rú hé ？
大又如何？
So when he faced the peril in Yin Mountain, despite the great danger, he still went without hesitation to save Phoenix. Even with the Four Evils, he didn't retreat.
bù guò shì ràng yāo shòu hún pò xī nà tiān dì yuán qì 。 cóng ér huàn huà chū lái de shén tōng 。
不过是让妖兽魂魄吸纳天地元气。从而幻化出来的神通。
And even though it had been a century since his last meeting with Senior Sister Qin, she was in trouble now, and Lin Xuan extended his hand again.
rú yān xiān zi de yǎn zhōng ， yǐn yǐn qì lì qì shǎn guò ， tiān kōng zhōng ， jìng rán mò míng qí miào de piāo qǐ xuě lái le 。
如嫣仙子的眼中，隐隐弃戾气闪过，天空中，竟然莫名其妙的飘起雪来了。
Even for Little Moon's apprentice, Lin Xuan protected her. Who said that the path of immortality must be without emotion?
nà cuì lǜ sè de xiān jiàn yǔ huàn huà chū lái de jiàn yǐng lián wèi yī tǐ ， fāng xiàng yī zhuǎn ， rú lǜ sè de hǎi cháo yì bān ， xiàng zhe dà péng de tóu lú zhǎn le guò lái 。
那翠绿色的仙剑与幻化出来的剑影连为一体，方向一转，如绿色的海潮一般，向着大鹏的头颅斩了过来。
Xiaohou Lan had risked herself to save him; how could he not help her?
yīng míng shēng chuán rù dīng kǒng ， dà péng zì rán bú huì děng zhe ái dǎ ， shuāng zhǎo xiàng zhe xià fāng wén me zhuā ， cì lüè léi qiú fú xiàn zài le yīng zhǎo de biǎo miàn 。
鹰鸣声传入叮孔，大鹏自然不会等着挨打，双爪向着下方纹么抓，刺略雷球浮现在了鹰爪的表面。
To other old monsters, this might seem foolish, but Lin Xuan had his own principles!
zhí jìng zú yǒu qī bā zhàng ， hōng lōng lóng yíng xiàng le bì yǐng luò xuě jiàn suǒ huà de lì máng 。
直径足有七八丈，轰隆隆迎像了碧影落雪剑所化的厉芒。
Unfortunately, Xiao Mei and Little Moon shared a body, so if it was just the spoiled princess in danger, Lin Xuan would have taken advantage of the situation.
liǎng míng lí hé qī cún zài ， yí gè xiǎng yào jiù rén 。 lìng wài yí gè xīn huái guǐ tāi ， zài zhè huāng jiāo yě wài 。 dòng le qǐ lái 。
两名离合期存在，一个想要救人。另外一个心怀鬼胎，在这荒郊野外。动了起来。
Thoughts raced through his mind as Lin Xuan released his divine sense. But there were no results.
fēng yún sè biàn ， qí jī liè chéng dù yuǎn yuǎn guò le lín xuān xià hóu lán gāng gāng yǔ huì tōng de yī zhàn 。
风云色变，其激烈程度远远过了林轩夏侯兰刚刚与慧通的一战。
His divine perception far surpassed that of other peers, but he could only detect Sister Xiao Mei and Master Huitong beyond three hundred miles. They must be past this range.
xìng hǎo zhè lǐ dì chǔ huāng pì ， jiǎ rú shì zài xuān yuán chéng lǐ ， hái bù zhī dào huì yǐn qǐ zhè yàng de hùn luàn 。
幸好这里地处荒僻，假如是在轩辕城里，还不知道会引起这样的混乱。
What now?
zhè lǐ de shèng fù zàn qiě bù tán ， lìng yī biān 。 lín xuān cóng ní tǔ zhōng zuān le chū lái 。
这里的胜负暂且不谈，另一边。林轩从泥土中钻了出来。
Lin Xuan paced anxiously, but soon calmed down. Panicking wouldn't help; after a moment's thought, he deduced the sequence of events. When faced with problems, one had to think creatively.
tā de biǎo qíng hěn nán kàn 。 zuì chū duǒ cáng qǐ lái de ， lín xuān xīn zhōng tǎn tè 。 kě suí zhe shí jiān de tuī yí ， lín xuān què jué de yǒu xiē bú duì tóu le 。
他的表情很难看。最初躲藏起来的，林轩心中忐忑。可随着时间的推移，林轩却觉得有些不对头了。
Sister Xiao Mei must have intentionally drawn Master Huitong away from him.
jiù suàn zì jǐ de liǎn qì shù xuán miào ， huì tōng xiàn bù liǎo ， kě zhì shǎo ， tā de shén shí yīng gāi zài zhōu wéi sǎo guò ， kě guò le zhè me jiǔ ， lín xuān què bìng wèi gǎn jué dào de 。
就算自己的敛气术玄妙，慧通现不了，可至少，他的神识应该在周围扫过，可过了这么久，林轩却并未感觉到的。
She wanted him to escape safely and would do her best to keep the monk far away.
huàn jù huà shuō ， tā méi yǒu lái zhuī zì jǐ 。
换句话说，他没有来追自己。
He had fled southeast earlier; Sister Xiao Mei likely chose northwest.
nà huì tōng huì dào nǎ ér jī ？
那慧通会到哪儿击？
This was just Lin Xuan's speculation, but in the absence of divine perception, this was his best choice.
yǐ lín xuān de xīn jī ， zhè ge dá àn bìng bù nán cāi ， xiǎo mèi yǒu wēi xiǎn 。
以林轩的心机，这个答案并不难猜，小妹有危险。
Let's hope he didn't make a mistake.
lín xuān de biǎo qíng hěn nán kàn 。
林轩的表情很难看。
Lin Xuan silently prayed as green light enveloped him. He flew towards the northwest.
suī shuō xiū xiān jiè ruò ròu qiáng shí ， dà jiā dōu fēi cháng zì sī ， zhǐ yào néng gòu huó xià qù ， chū mài qīn rén péng yǒu bìng bù diū liǎn ， bù guò nà yàng de shì qíng lín xuān zuò bù chū lái 。
虽说修仙界弱肉强食，大家都非常自私，只要能够活下去，出卖亲人朋友并不丢脸，不过那样的事情林轩做不出来。
"Sorry, Moon, I will have to take more risks with you."
miàn duì dí rén ， lín xuān kě yǐ bǐ qí tā xiū shì gèng lěng xuè ， gèng wú qíng ， kě duì qīn péng ， lín xuān què xiàng lái hù duǎn 。
面对敌人，林轩可以比其他修士更冷血，更无情，可对亲朋，林轩却向来护短。
"Master, if I keep saying sorry, I'll get angry," Little Moon's voice echoed in his ears.
xiān dào zài nán ， rén zǒng yào yǒu suǒ jiān chí 。 rú guǒ lián zuì qǐ mǎ de dǐ xiàn yě méi yǒu ， jiù suàn cháng shēng chéng xiān yòu rú hé ， nà yàng yǔ xíng shī zǒu ròu yòu yǒu hé qū bié le 。
仙道再难，人总要有所坚持。如果连最起码的底线也没有，就算长生成仙又如何，那样与行尸走肉又有何区别了。
"Why?" Lin Xuan was taken aback.
liǎng bǎi nián de xīng fēng xuè yǔ ， ràng lín xuān biàn de jiǎo zhà 。 biàn dé chéng shú ， dàn zhè yì diǎn liáng zhī ， tā què shǐ zhōng jiān chí 。
两百年的腥风血雨，让林轩变的狡诈。变得成熟，但这一点良知，他却始终坚持。
"Don't apologize; Moon said she would be by your side no matter what choice you make." Little Moon spoke softly but with deep emotion: "Besides, I like this master—emotional and righteous. Cruel to enemies, kind to friends."
suǒ yǐ dāng chū zài běn yīn shān mài ， míng zhī dào yǒu jù dà wēi xiǎn ， què yī jiù yì wú fǎn gù de qù jiù kǒng què ， jí biàn miàn duì sì xiōng zhī dǎo jī ， yě háo bù tuì suō 。
所以当初在本阴山脉，明知道有巨大危险，却依旧义无反顾的去救孔雀，即便面对四凶之祷机，也毫不退缩。
"Ouch!"
suǒ yǐ yǔ qín shī jiě suī bǎi nián wèi jiàn ， kě tā wēi jí de shí hòu ， lín xuān yī jiù yì wú fǎn gù de shēn chū le yuán shǒu 。
所以与秦师姐虽百年未见，可她危急的时候，林轩依旧义无反顾的伸出了援手。
Before her words were finished, a sudden cry of pain filled the air as her face contorted in agony.
jí biàn shì duì yuè ér de nà ge xiǎo tú dì 。 lín xuān yě hěn wéi hù ， shuí shuō dà dào jiù yí dìng yào wú
即便是对月儿的那个小徒弟。林轩也很维护，谁说大道就一定要无
"What's wrong, Moon?" Lin Xuan was alarmed and asked with concern.
le ？
了？
"I don't know; some memories are surfacing in my mind, but they're blurry. I can't tell what they contain, only that it seems like I had a similar life before." Little Moon muttered, her words jumbled.
xià hóu lán shì wèi jiù zì jǐ cái xiàn rù wēi xiǎn 。 lín xuān zěn me néng bù guǎn 。
夏侯兰是为救自己才陷入危险。林轩怎么能不管。
"Similar to me in this lifetime?" Lin Xuan was taken aback and frowned.
huò xǔ zài qí tā lǎo guài wù kàn lái 。 zhè yàng yǒu diǎn shǎ ， lín xuān què yǒu zì jǐ de jiān chí a ！
或许在其他老怪物看来。这样有点傻，林轩却有自己的坚持啊！
"I didn't express myself clearly; I meant that my personality from the past is very much like yours. For loved ones and friends, you can be reckless. In the past, I might have acted impulsively, doing something earth-shattering, but I can't remember," Little Moon said slowly.
kě xī ， xīn yuè yǔ xiǎo mèi gòng yòng yí gè shēn tǐ ， fǒu zé shì nà diāo mán gōng zhǔ yù xiǎn ， lín xuān hái huì luò jǐng xià shí 。
可惜，新月与小妹共用一个身体，否则是那刁蛮公主遇险，林轩还会落井下石。
"Oh." Lin Xuan nodded: "If you can't recall it, forget about it; don't force yourself."
nǎo hǎi zhōng luàn qī bā zāo de niàn tou zhuǎn guò 。 lín xuān jiāng shén shí fàng chū ， kě xī què méi yǒu shōu huò 。
脑海中乱七八糟的念头转过。林轩将神识放出，可惜却没有收获。
"I understand; what happened in my past doesn't matter to me." Little Moon nodded obediently and added silently: "As long as I'm with Master this lifetime."

他的神念虽然远远胜过同阶修士。但最多感应三百里小妹与慧通秃驴，一定是过了这个距离。
Seeing the pain on her face fade, Lin Xuan took a deep breath. Green light flashed around him, and his speed increased dramatically before he disappeared into the horizon.
"Who is this foil friend, why did he block my path?" Lady Meng Ruyan's delicate brows furrowed as she spoke.
The Patriarch of the Luo family did not immediately respond. His face was calm, but his heart was like a tumultuous sea.
Though he had never seen this woman in person, he naturally recognized her. The Luo family vowed revenge, and over these years, through various channels, he had kept an eye on the high-ranking figures from the Seven Sects.
He did not expect to encounter the Supreme Elder of the Sky Sea Pavilion here. If Lady Meng Ruyan was here, then it meant that the chaotic fluctuations in the primordial energy were not caused by her. There must be another Separation and Union stage powerhouse nearby—this was not good news at all.
His eyes darted as he pondered his next move. A voice with a pleasant but fiery tone entered his ears: "Why are you silent, friend? Aren't you also one of the Buddha Sect's bald monks who want to stop me?"
The Patriarch of the Luo family froze, his mind racing, and the words on his lips retreated.
After years of observation, he realized that the Seven Sects were not as united as they had been a million years ago. This made sense; back then, their common enemy was the Tianzhou Luo family.
Now, with the Luo family decimated, the Seven Sects were the top existence in the mortal realm. They cherished their lives and would never engage in reckless combat against peers. But what about Lady Meng Ruyan? She seemed to have no recognition of him but charged forward with a murderous intent.
She must be mad!
I didn't even claim her as my wife; why is she trying to kill me?
The Patriarch of the Luo family was both shocked and angry, but then he became ecstatic. Lady Meng Ruyan's intense reaction meant that if he could detain her, would the Buddha Sect and Sky Sea Pavilion become mortal enemies?
With a deep breath, he extended his hand, tapped his head, and a fan flew out from his mouth.
Only an inch long, it rapidly expanded under a spell.
"Madam, I was entrusted with this task. Regardless of what happens, I will not let anything bad happen to Master Huitong," the Patriarch said with righteous indignation as he pointed at the fan.
The surface of the fan bore a vivid image of a great phoenix—sharp talons and beak, red eyes.
"Quickly!"
With a spell from the Patriarch, an eagle's cry echoed. The great phoenix vanished inside the fan, but the sky suddenly darkened.
Not because of changing weather; sunlight was blocked by a large bird hovering above them.
The body of this bird was enormous—wingspan over a hundred zhang, resembling a mountain in size. A storm emerged with each flap of its wings.
A divine treasure!
Lady Meng Ruyan's eyes flashed with surprise. This great phoenix was no ordinary entity; even an Incarnation Stage cultivator would be terrified. But as a Separation and Union stage powerhouse, she had nothing to fear.
So what?
It was just a spell that allowed the beast's soul to absorb primordial energy and manifest this power.
A snow-like green sword and its shadow merged, turning into a green tidal wave aimed at the great phoenix's head.
The eagle's cry echoed in his ears. The great phoenix did not wait for punishment; it grabbed downward with its talons, and lightning spheres appeared on the surface of the eagle's claws.
Each sphere was over seven zhang in diameter, charging towards the Green Shadow Snow Sword's fierce light.
Two Separation and Union stage existences, one trying to save someone while the other harbored sinister intentions. The battle raged fiercely, far more intense than when Master Huitong fought Xiaohou Lan earlier.
Fortunately, they were in a remote area; if this had happened in Xuan Yuan City, it would have caused chaos.
The outcome of their battle was uncertain, but elsewhere, Lin Xuan emerged from the ground.
His expression was grim. Initially, he had hidden, but as time passed, something seemed off to him. Even though his recondite energy technique was subtle and Master Huitong couldn't sense it, his divine sense should have swept over the area. Yet after so long, Lin Xuan felt nothing.
In other words, Master Huitong didn't follow up on him.
Where did he go?
With his cunning and experience, Lin Xuan deduced that Sister Xiao Mei must be leading Master Huitong away to save herself. He could not leave her in danger.
Though the mortal world was a dog-eat-dog place where everyone was selfish, selling out loved ones for survival wasn't an option for him.
Facing enemies, he could be more ruthless and heartless than other cultivators, but when it came to his family and friends, Lin Xuan always protected them.
Even if the path of immortality was difficult, one must have principles. Without a basic sense of right and wrong, what was the point of achieving immortality?
Two hundred years of bloodshed had made him cunning and mature, but he clung to this moral compass.
So when he faced the peril in Yin Mountain, despite the great danger, he still went without hesitation to save Phoenix. Even with the Four Evils, he didn't retreat.
And even though it had been a century since his last meeting with Senior Sister Qin, she was in trouble now, and Lin Xuan extended his hand again.
Even for Little Moon's apprentice, Lin Xuan protected her. Who said that the path of immortality must be without emotion?
Xiaohou Lan had risked herself to save him; how could he not help her?
To other old monsters, this might seem foolish, but Lin Xuan had his own principles!
Unfortunately, Xiao Mei and Little Moon shared a body, so if it was just the spoiled princess in danger, Lin Xuan would have taken advantage of the situation.
Thoughts raced through his mind as Lin Xuan released his divine sense. But there were no results.
His divine perception far surpassed that of other peers, but he could only detect Sister Xiao Mei and Master Huitong beyond three hundred miles. They must be past this range.
What now?
Lin Xuan paced anxiously, but soon calmed down. Panicking wouldn't help; after a moment's thought, he deduced the sequence of events. When faced with problems, one had to think creatively.
Sister Xiao Mei must have intentionally drawn Master Huitong away from him.
She wanted him to escape safely and would do her best to keep the monk far away.
He had fled southeast earlier; Sister Xiao Mei likely chose northwest.
This was just Lin Xuan's speculation, but in the absence of divine perception, this was his best choice.
Let's hope he didn't make a mistake.
Lin Xuan silently prayed as green light enveloped him. He flew towards the northwest.
"Sorry, Moon, I will have to take more risks with you."
"Master, if I keep saying sorry, I'll get angry," Little Moon's voice echoed in his ears.
"Why?" Lin Xuan was taken aback.
"Don't apologize; Moon said she would be by your side no matter what choice you make." Little Moon spoke softly but with deep emotion: "Besides, I like this master—emotional and righteous. Cruel to enemies, kind to friends."
"Ouch!"
Before her words were finished, a sudden cry of pain filled the air as her face contorted in agony.
"What's wrong, Moon?" Lin Xuan was alarmed and asked with concern.
"I don't know; some memories are surfacing in my mind, but they're blurry. I can't tell what they contain, only that it seems like I had a similar life before." Little Moon muttered, her words jumbled.
"Similar to me in this lifetime?" Lin Xuan was taken aback and frowned.
"I didn't express myself clearly; I meant that my personality from the past is very much like yours. For loved ones and friends, you can be reckless. In the past, I might have acted impulsively, doing something earth-shattering, but I can't remember," Little Moon said slowly.
"Oh." Lin Xuan nodded: "If you can't recall it, forget about it; don't force yourself."
"I understand; what happened in my past doesn't matter to me." Little Moon nodded obediently and added silently: "As long as I'm with Master this lifetime."
Seeing the pain on her face fade, Lin Xuan took a deep breath. Green light flashed around him, and his speed increased dramatically before he disappeared into the horizon.
