是谁，偷袭本宗主？艳丽男子声音沙哑的说，表情很毒，但明显有几分色厉内荏的味道在里头。
Who dared to attack the headmaster of our sect? The handsome man's voice was hoarse, his expression venomous, but there was a hint of fear beneath it.
“ hēng ， xìng wáng de xiǎo jiā huo ， nǐ bú shì yào jiāng wǒ jī jiā ， cóng yún zhōu mǒ chú ， nǐ bú shì yào jiāng wǒ jī jiā de nǚ zǐ ， dàng zuò dǐng lú ， hǎo ， běn gōng jīn tiān jiù zhàn zài zhè lǐ ， nǐ yǒu dǎn zi ， jiù guò lái shì yī shì 。” qīng liàng de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， suí hòu yuǎn chù de tiān biān ， chū xiàn le yī dào yào mù de wèi lán sè jīng hóng ， shì huǎn shí jí ， dù jīng rén wú bǐ ， yī shǎn ， jiù chū xiàn zài zhòng rén de yǎn qián 。
“哼，姓王的小家伙，你不是要将我姬家，从云州抹除，你不是要将我姬家的女子，当作鼎炉，好，本宫今天就站在这里，你有胆子，就过来试一试。”清亮的声音传入耳朵，随后远处的天边，出现了一道耀目的蔚蓝色惊虹，似缓实急，度惊人无比，一闪，就出现在众人的眼前。
"Hmph. Little Wang, you wanted to wipe out my Ji family from Yunzhou and use our women as cauldrons for your alchemy. Fine, I'll stand here today; if you have the胆量, come try me," said the clear voice, followed by a dazzling azure streak of light appearing in the distance sky. It was quick yet deceptive, startling everyone.
nà lán guāng sàn kāi ， cóng lǐ miàn huǎn huǎn de zǒu chū le yī wèi nǚ zǐ lái ， shēn chuān cuì lǜ sè gōng zhuāng ， dà yuē èr shí qī bā zuǒ yòu ， fèng méi xiù mù ， shuō bù shàng jué sè měi nǚ ， dàn zì yǒu yī gǔ yōng róng huá nián de qì dù 。 bù guò zuì kě pà de ， hái shì tā jiāo qū suǒ sàn chū lái de líng lì bō dòng 。 cǐ nǚ jū rán shì yī wèi yuán yīng hòu qī de dà xiū xiān zhě 。▲ gū mǔ ！”
那蓝光散开，从里面缓缓的走出了一位女子来，身穿翠绿色宫装，大约二十七八左右，凤眉秀目，说不上绝色美女，但自有一股雍容华年的气度。不过最可怕的，还是她娇躯所散出来的灵力波动。此女居然是一位元婴后期的大修仙者。▲姑母！”
The azure light dispersed, revealing a woman dressed in emerald green court attire, around twenty-seven or eight years old. Her eyes were delicate and her brows elegant; she wasn't a breathtaking beauty but exuded an air of grace and maturity. However, what was most terrifying was the spiritual energy波动 emanating from her body. She was clearly a late-stage Golden Core cultivator.
dāo bā hàn zi dà xǐ ， èr huà bù shuō jiù bài le xià qù ， jī jiā de lìng wài liǎng míng wú yīng qī lǎo guài wù ， suī wèi yǔn luò ， dàn yě chī le bù xiǎo de kǔ tóu ， hǎo zài suí zhe zhè shén mì nǚ zǐ xiàn shēn ， nà kǒng bù de wēi yā ràng suǒ yǒu rén quán dōu tíng shǒu ， tā men yě lián máng fēi guò lái le 。 liǎn shàng mǎn shì xiàn mèi tǎo hǎo zhī sè ， gōng gōng jìng jìng de zài yī páng lì zhe 。
刀疤汉子大喜，二话不说就拜了下去，姬家的另外两名无婴期老怪物，虽未陨落，但也吃了不小的苦头，好在随着这神秘女子现身，那恐怖的威压让所有人全都停手，他们也连忙飞过来了。脸上满是献媚讨好之色，恭恭敬敬的在一旁立着。
"Aunt Ji!" The scarred man was overjoyed, immediately bowing down. The other two late-stage Golden Core experts of the Ji family had suffered significant setbacks but were still alive. With this mysterious woman's appearance, the terrifying pressure made everyone pause and they hurriedly flew over, their faces filled with flattery as they stood respectfully.
fēng yún tū biàn ， yuán běn jī jiā bèi miè yǐ chéng dìng jú ， kě què tū rán lái le yī wèi yuán yīng hòu qī de xiū xiān zhě ， yàn lì nán zi de liǎn sè yīn qíng bù dìng de biàn huà zhe ， zhōng yú yī zì yī dùn de kāi kǒu le ：“ dào yǒu yě shì jī jiā zhī rén 。”“ hēng ， nǐ gāng gāng de xiāo zhāng zhī qì pǎo dào le nǎ lǐ ， zěn me ， hài pà le ， mò fēi nǐ méi yǒu tīng jiàn tā chēng hū wǒ gū mǔ 。” nà gōng zhuāng nǚ zǐ mǎn liǎn bù xiè de shuō 。“ dào yǒu xiǎng rú hé ？” yàn lì nán zi yǎo zhe yá chǐ ， tā yě méi xiǎng dào huì shēng zhè zhǒng biàn gù 。“ rú hé ？ nǐ gāng gāng bú shì yào miè wǒ jī jiā mǎn mén me ， yǐ yǎn huán yǎn ， yǐ yá huán yá shì běn gōng de yuán zé ， jì rán dào yǒu rú cǐ hěn dú ， nà qiān yǐng zōng yě méi yǒu bì yào cún zài le 。”
风云突变，原本姬家被灭已成定局，可却突然来了一位元婴后期的修仙者，艳丽男子的脸色阴晴不定的变化着，终于一字一顿的开口了：“道友也是姬家之人。”“哼，你刚刚的嚣张之气跑到了哪里，怎么，害怕了，莫非你没有听见他称呼我姑母。”那宫装女子满脸不屑的说。“道友想如何？”艳丽男子咬着牙齿，他也没想到会生这种变故。“如何？你刚刚不是要灭我姬家满门么，以眼还眼，以牙还牙是本宫的原则，既然道友如此狠毒，那千影宗也没有必要存在了。”
The风云 suddenly changed; what was once a certain doom for the Ji family now seemed uncertain. The handsome man’s expression fluctuated between anger and fear before he spoke, "Friend, you are also from the Ji family."
gōng zhuāng nǚ zǐ lǎn de yǔ tā duō suo ， yù shǒu yī fú ， tiān kōng zhī zhōng yǐ duō chū le yī xiàng yá zuò chéng de yù shū ， kàn shàng qù bìng méi yǒu shén me qǐ yǎn zhī chù ， rán ér shàng miàn suǒ sàn chū lái de líng yā què lìng rén cè mù 。
宫装女子懒得与他哆嗦，玉手一拂，天空之中已多出了一象牙做成的玉梳，看上去并没有什么起眼之处，然而上面所散出来的灵压却令人侧目。
This thought hadn't fully formed in his mind when another terrifying spiritual pressure descended from the sky, far more formidable than before.
“ jí ！
“疾！
Only those who had transcended the mortal realm and entered the Separation Realm could possess such power. This was none other than Huichong, whom he had almost been unable to escape from outside the Xuan Yuan City.
cǐ nǚ yù shǒu qīng tái ， xiàng qián wēi diǎn ， cóng nà yù suō zhī shàng ， bào shè chū qiān wàn dào ràng rén xīn jì de hán guāng ， yǒu rú fēi zhēn fǎ bǎo ， xiàng zhe yàn lì nán zi cuán shè 。“ mén zhǔ xiǎo xīn ！”“ kuài shǎn 。”
此女玉手轻抬，向前微点，从那玉梭之上，爆射出千万道让人心悸的寒光，有如飞针法宝，向着艳丽男子攒射。“门主小心！”“快闪。”
How did he end up here?
yàn lì nán zi gù rán dà hài ， qiān yǐng zōng qí yú de lǎo guài wù ， tóng yàng kàn chū le bù miào lái ， shù rén lián shǒu ， dǎng xià le zhè yī jī ， dàn měi gè rén de biǎo qíng ， dōu biàn dé cāng bái wú bǐ 。
艳丽男子固然大骇，千影宗其余的老怪物，同样看出了不妙来，数人联手，挡下了这一击，但每个人的表情，都变得苍白无比。
Lin轩's eyes narrowed as his expression turned serious.
cǐ nǚ bù jǐn shì yuán yīng hòu qī ， ér qiě hái bú shì pǔ tōng de dà xiū xiān zhě ， yī shēn shén tōng ， dào le fán rù shèng de dì bù ， tā suī rán shì jī jiā jiā zhǔ de gū mǔ ， dàn yí gè xiǎo xiǎo de xiū xiān jiā zú ， jué duì péi yǎng bù chū zhè yàng de rén wù 。 cǐ nǚ jiū jìng shì nǎ yī pài de zhǎng lǎo ？
此女不仅是元婴后期，而且还不是普通的大修仙者，一身神通，到了凡入圣的地步，她虽然是姬家家主的姑母，但一个小小的修仙家族，绝对培养不出这样的人物。此女究竟是哪一派的长老？
Meanwhile, Ji Yue Ru had already killed several of the old monsters of Thousand Shadow Sect with ease. Her hands flew through the air, and the jade comb transformed into a streak of cold light that shot out. Although it wasn't a flying sword-type treasure, those hit by it would surely fall.
yàn lì nán zi xīn jīng dǎn zhàn de xiǎng zhe ， bǎi sī bù dé qí jiě ， àn lǐ shuō ， yún zhōu suī shì xiū liàn shèng dì ， dàn yuán yīng hòu qī ， yě jiù nà me liáo liáo jǐ gè ér yǐ ， zì jǐ wèi shén me huì xiǎng bù qǐ 。
艳丽男子心惊胆战的想着，百思不得其解，按理说，云州虽是修炼圣地，但元婴后期，也就那么寥寥几个而已，自己为什么会想不起。
The handsome man had no choice but to dodge. A fierce expression flashed in his eyes as he suddenly grew an arm thicker than his waist with thickened scales and sharp spines sprouting from its surface.
yī jī méi yǒu jiàn gōng ， nà míng jiào jī yuè rú de nǚ zǐ ， zì rán bú huì jiù cǐ bà shǒu ， tán kǒu wēi qǐ ， pēn chū yī dào jīng qì ， suí hòu liǎng bǐng sān cùn lái zhǎng de fēi dāo yòu chū xiàn zài le tā de yù shǒu lǐ 。 zhàn duān zài qǐ 。
一击没有建功，那名叫姬月如的女子，自然不会就此罢手，檀口微启，喷出一道精气，随后两柄三寸来长的飞刀又出现在了她的玉手里。战端再起。
Though this person was despicable, they were undoubtedly a late-stage Golden Core cultivator, possessing unique abilities. With gritted teeth, the deformed arm charged at the jade comb. He believed that even if it was a Great Cultivator, he could withstand the blow.
suī rán jǐn duō chū yī rén de jiā rù ， dàn xíng shì yǔ gāng gāng zé wán quán bù tóng ， qiān yǐng zōng jiǔ míng zhǎng lǎo lián shǒu ， yī rán yuǎn bú shì jī yuè rú de duì shǒu 。
虽然仅多出一人的加入，但形势与刚刚则完全不同，千影宗九名长老联手，依然远不是姬月如的对手。
However, Ji Yue Ru's lips curled in contempt as her hands moved like butterflies, casting several spells. The jade comb flashed, and numerous snowflake-like runes appeared on its surface. A blinding white light erupted, and the treasure struck the demon-possessed arm with the force of a meteor.
bāo kuò bā liǎn dà hàn zài nèi de qí yú sān lìn lǎo guài wù ， zé níng xiào zhe pū rù le qiān yǐng zōng de dī jiē xiū shì zhī zhōng ， rú hǔ rù yáng qún ， zhè qíng jǐng yǔ gāng cái shì hé qí xiāng sì ， zhǐ bù guò shēng le nì zhuǎn ér yǐ 。
包括疤脸大汉在内的其余三吝老怪物，则狞笑着扑入了千影宗的低阶修士之中，如虎入羊群，这情景与刚才是何其相似，只不过生了逆转而已。
Silent but deadly, the demon-possessed arm crumbled like spring snow.
cǎn jiào shēng bù tíng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， zhè yī huí ， huàn qiān yǐng zōng de xiū shì bù tíng yǔn luò 。
惨叫声不停传入耳朵，这一回，换千影宗的修士不停陨落。
A large hole appeared before the handsome man as the white light exploded. His eyes widened in shock; he couldn't believe his own demise, let alone escape his Golden Core.
“ a ！”
“啊！”
The process seemed complex but took only an instant.
xuè hóng màn tiān ， lián nà yàn lì nán zi yě bèi zhǎn xià le yī tiáo shǒu bì ， jī yuè rú hèn tā zuǐ bā hěn dú ， chū shǒu méi yǒu fēn háo liú qíng zhī chù 。
血红漫天，连那艳丽男子也被斩下了一条手臂，姬月如恨他嘴巴狠毒，出手没有分毫留情之处。
Just as the handsome man fell, another terrifying pressure descended from the sky.
“ sì hū bù yòng zì jǐ chū shǒu ， qiān yǐng zōng yě nán táo fù miè yī tú 。” lín xuān yǐ shǒu fǔ é ， shén sè yǒu xiē gǔ guài de xiǎng zhe ， zhǐ shì zhè wèi jī jiā de gū mǔ ， jiū jìng shì cóng nǎ lǐ lái de ， kàn tā de xiū wèi shén tōng ， sì hū bù zài wàn fú zōng sì dà jīn gāng zhī xià 。
“似乎不用自己出手，千影宗也难逃覆灭一途。”林轩以手抚额，神色有些古怪的想着，只是这位姬家的姑母，究竟是从哪里来的，看她的修为神通，似乎不在万佛宗四大金刚之下。
Ji Yue Ru had successfully dealt a blow and was about to continue wiping out the remaining late-stage Golden Core cultivators of Thousand Shadow Sect. However, her expression turned pale; this kind of power and feeling reminded her of when she first met Senior Aunt Ruyan. Could there be someone at the Separation Realm?
yào zhī dào ， jí biàn tóng wèi yuán yīng hòu qī ， bǐ cǐ jiān yě yǒu hěn dà chā jù ， ér cǐ nǚ míng xiǎn ， bú shì nà zhǒng pǔ tōng mén pài néng gòu péi yǎng chū lái de dà xiū xiān zhě ， nán dào shuō …… lín xuān xīn zhōng yǐn yǐn yǒu le cāi cè 。 dāng rán shì bú shì hái hěn nán shuō ， àn lǐ ， yīng gāi méi yǒu nà me duō qiǎo hé 。
要知道，即便同为元婴后期，彼此间也有很大差距，而此女明显，不是那种普通门派能够培养出来的大修仙者，难道说……林轩心中隐隐有了猜测。当然是不是还很难说，按理，应该没有那么多巧合。
Impossible! Such old monsters wouldn't concern themselves with mortal affairs anymore. Even if they did, a small dispute between Thousand Shadow Sect and Ji family couldn’t possibly alarm him. Was it just a coincidence? Or was there some unknown secret behind this.
lín xuān xīn zhōng sī suǒ ， tū rán méi shāo yī dòng ， jí biàn yǐ tā de chéng fǔ ， liǎn shàng yě lù chū le jīng hài zhī sè ：“ bù kě néng ， nà jiā huo ， zěn me huì lái zhè lǐ 。”
林轩心中思索，突然眉梢一动，即便以他的城府，脸上也露出了惊骇之色：“不可能，那家伙，怎么会来这里。”
Ji Yue Ru's thoughts raced but she could only guess at the truth. "Amen!" Just as she was uncertain, an echoing Buddhist chant reached her ears.
lín xuān zhè ge niàn tou hái méi yǒu zhuǎn wán ， yòu yī gǔ kě pà de líng yā cóng tiān ér jiàng le ， ér qiě bǐ gāng gāng jī yuè rú suǒ sàn chū lái de ， míng xiǎn hái yào kě pà dé duō 。
林轩这个念头还没有转完，又一股可怕的灵压从天而降了，而且比刚刚姬月如所散出来的，明显还要可怕得多。
The terrifying pressure made everyone tremble, and both sects paused their attacks, looking towards its source with shock. But under the sunlight, nothing was visible in the sky.
néng yǒu zhè zhǒng wēi shì ， fàng yǎn tiān xià ， yě zhǐ yǒu yī zhǒng rén yī shí nà xiē zǎo yǐ bù wèn chén shì ， bù rù le lí hé qī de xiū xiān zhě ！
能有这种威势，放眼天下，也只有一种人一十那些早已不问尘世，步入了离合期的修仙者！
Basement-level cultivators exchanged glances while high-ranking cultivators grew more serious.
ér qiě zhè qì xī hěn shú ， shì zài xuān yuán chéng wài ， jiāng zì jǐ zhuī dé chà diǎn shàng tiān wú lù ， xià dì wú mén de huì tōng 。
而且这气息很熟，是在轩辕城外，将自己追得差点上天无路，下地无门的慧通。
A strong mountain breeze blew, initially mild but soon became harsh, slicing through faces painfully.
tā zěn me huì dào cǐ chù ？
他怎么会到此处？
More terrifyingly, nearby primordial energy began to converge towards a single point in mid-air, forming tiny light dots that swirled and merged into a vortex. A bald-headed monk walked out from within. Lin轩's eyes narrowed; it was Huichong!
lín xuān tóng kǒng wēi suō ， biǎo qíng lì dé fēi cháng yán sù 。
林轩瞳孔微缩，表情吏得非常严肃。
It couldn't be wrong. Although his appearance had changed drastically, the spiritual energy attributes emanating from him were identical to when they first met.
ér lìng yī cè ， jī yuè rú yǐ jiāng qiān yǐng zōng de jǐ míng lǎo guài wù shā dé liǎn rú tǔ sè ， zhǐ jiàn tā shuāng shǒu huī wǔ ， nà yù shū huà wèi yī dào hán máng fēi lüè ér chū ， suī bù
而另一侧，姬月如已将千影宗的几名老怪物杀得脸如土色，只见她双手挥舞，那玉梳化为一道寒芒飞掠而出，虽不
Why did he look different? Had he practiced some bizarre secret technique? Unlikely! Lin轩 shook his head in the shadows, as if he had gained a new body.
shì fēi jiàn lèi fǎ bǎo ， rán ér bèi tā jī zhòng ， yǔn luò yě shì bù róng zhì yí de 。 yàn lì nán zi duǒ wú kě duǒ ， yǎn zhōng shǎn guò yī mǒ lì sè ， pī lǐ pā lā de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， tā jǐn shèng xià de nà tiáo shǒu bì měng rán péng zhàng qǐ lái ， biàn dé bǐ yāo shēn hái cū ， biǎo miàn de lín jiǎ bù jǐn jiā hòu le xǔ duō ， ér qiě hái shēng chū le yī hěn hěn fēng ruì de jiān cì 。
是飞剑类法宝，然而被她击中，陨落也是不容置疑的。艳丽男子躲无可躲，眼中闪过一抹厉色，噼里啪啦的声音传入耳朵，他仅剩下的那条手臂猛然膨胀起来，变得比腰身还粗，表面的鳞甲不仅加厚了许多，而且还生出了一狠狠锋锐的尖刺。
This was astonishing; while above-stage cultivators could possess new bodies, it was risky and rarely done. Unless their original body was destroyed during combat.
cǐ rén suī rán bēi bǐ wú chǐ ， dàn bù kuì shì yuán yīng zhōng qī dǐng fēng de xiū yāo zhě ， shén tōng yě pǒ yǒu dú dào zhī chù 。 yī yǎo yá ， nà biàn dé guài mó guài yàng de shǒu bì ， xiàng zhe yù shū yíng le shàng qù 。 tā xiāng xìn ， duì fāng jiù suàn shì dà xiū shì ， zì jǐ yě néng jiē xià zhè yī jī 。
此人虽然卑鄙无耻，但不愧是元婴中期顶峰的修妖者，神通也颇有独到之处。一咬牙，那变得怪模怪样的手臂，向着玉梳迎了上去。他相信，对方就算是大修士，自己也能接下这一击。
Huichong was an old monster at the Separation Realm, one of few who could defeat him. Who possessed such power?
rán ér jī yuè rú de zuǐ jiǎo biān ， què liú lù chū xiē xǔ jī cháo zhī sè ， shuāng shǒu rú chuān huā hú dié bān fēi wǔ ， yī lián shù dào fǎ jué dǎ chū 。 nà yù shū yī shǎn ， wú shù xuě huā mú yàng de fú wén fú xiàn zài gǔ de biǎo miàn 。
然而姬月如的嘴角边，却流露出些许讥嘲之色，双手如穿花蝴蝶般飞舞，一连数道法诀打出。那玉梳一闪，无数雪花模样的符文浮现在牯的表面。
No wonder Lin轩 had so many doubts. Outside Xuan Yuan City, he and Xiaohou Lan had split up to escape. What happened afterward remained unclear to Lin轩. Huichong's body had been destroyed by the Ten Thousand Buddha Sect, a great humiliation for his sect. Only a few knew of this, and it was strictly forbidden to spread rumors. Thus, outsiders were unaware.
suí hòu ， yī tuán cì mù de bái máng bào kāi ， nà fǎ bǎo rú bái sè de liú xīng ， hěn hěn de yǔ yāo huà hòu de shǒu bì zhuàng zài yì qǐ …… wú shēng wú xī ， kě nà yāo huà hòu de shǒu bì què rú chūn xuě xiāo róng yì bān 。
随后，一团刺目的白芒爆开，那法宝如白色的流星，狠狠的与妖化后的手臂撞在一起……无声无息，可那妖化后的手臂却如春雪消融一般。
It was fortunate that after Huichong’s Golden Core returned to their temple, he recounted the incident. The Ten Thousand Buddha Sect spared no effort to find him a suitable new body.
suí hòu bái máng bào kāi ， yí gè dà dòng chū xiàn zài le yàn lì nán zi de shēn qián ， tā dèng yuán 7 yǎn zhū ， liǎn shàng mǎn shì chī jīng zhī sè ， sì hū hái bù xiāng xìn zì jǐ huì jiù zhè me yǔn luò ， lián yuán yīng dōu méi yǒu jī huì táo chū 。
随后白芒爆开，一个大洞出现在了艳丽男子的身前，他瞪圆7眼珠，脸上满是吃惊之色，似乎还不相信自己会就这么陨落，连元婴都没有机会逃出。
After successfully possessing the body, he regained most of his previous abilities but needed another century of cultivation for the remaining ones.
zhè ge guò chéng shuō qǐ lái fán fù ， qí shí bù guò shùn xī gǔ gōng fu 。
这个过程说起来繁复，其实不过瞬息鹄功夫。
Driven by revenge, instead of resting in seclusion, Huichong ventured out. He believed that it was merely a misunderstanding and that the girl alone couldn't have defeated him with two mysterious cultivators.
ér zài yàn lì nán zi yǔn luò de yī gǔ 1， nà kǒng bù de xū yā gāng hǎo cóng tiān ér jiàng le 。
而在艳丽男子陨落的一古1，那恐怖的戌压刚好从天而降了。
He wasn’t foolish enough to believe such absurdity.
Who dared to attack the headmaster of our sect? The handsome man's voice was hoarse, his expression venomous, but there was a hint of fear beneath it.
"Hmph. Little Wang, you wanted to wipe out my Ji family from Yunzhou and use our women as cauldrons for your alchemy.

The风云 suddenly changed; what was once a certain doom for the Ji family now seemed uncertain. The handsome man’s expression fluctuated between anger and fear before he spoke, "Friend, you are also from the Ji family."
This thought hadn't fully formed in his mind when another terrifying spiritual pressure descended from the sky, far more formidable than before.
Only those who had transcended the mortal realm and entered the Separation Realm could possess such power. This was none other than Huichong, whom he had almost been unable to escape from outside the Xuan Yuan City.
