“ shào yé ， chū le shén me wèn tí ？”
“少爷，出了什么问题？”
"Master, what's the matter?"
qīng cuì de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， xiǎo yā tou de biǎo qíng mǎn shì yí huò ， yǔ lín xuān xiāng yī xiāng shǒu nán bǎi nián ，．
清脆的声音传入耳朵，小丫头的表情满是疑惑，与林轩相依相守南百年，．
A clear voice sounded in Lin Xuan's ears. The young girl looked puzzled. She had been with Lin Xuan for a hundred years, clinging to him through thick and thin.
lín xuān de liǎn shàng mǎn shì yīn mái ， shēn shēn hū xī ， liáng jiǔ cái tàn le kǒu qì 。
林轩的脸上满是阴霾，深深呼吸，良久才叹了口气。
Lin Xuan's face was clouded over. He took a deep breath and sighed after a long while. "Moon, have you not contacted the outside world at all these days?"
“ yuè ér ， nán dào zhè xiē shí rì ， nǐ jiù méi yǒu yǔ wài jiè lián xì ？”
“月儿，难道这些时日，妳就没有与外界联系？”
"No, I've been guarding here, never worrying about what happens outside."
·‘‘ méi yǒu ， xiǎo bì yì zhí shǒu zài zhè lǐ ， méi yǒu guān xīn guò wài jiè de wèn tí 。
·‘‘没有，小婢一直守在这里，没有关心过外界的问题。
"Mm."
“ ń 。”
“嗯。”
Nodding his head, Lin Xuan said no more. Then he emitted a layer of green light all over his body and turned into an iridescent streak that flew out.
lín xuān diǎn le diǎn tóu ， bù zài duō shuō ， suí hòu hún shēn qīng máng yì qǐ ， huà wèi yī dào luò hóng xiàng wài fēi qù 。
林轩点了点头，不再多说，随后浑身青芒一起，化为一道络虹向外飞去。
Moon's heart was filled with curiosity, but given her nature, she didn't ask any further questions. She followed closely behind the master.
yuè ér xīn zhōng yí huò ， dàn yǐ xiǎo yā tou de xìng gé ， cǐ shí cǐ kè ， zì rán yě bú huì duō wèn shén me ， tóng yàng jǐn gēn zài shào yé de hòu miàn le 。
月儿心中疑惑，但以小丫头的性格，此时此刻，自然也不会多问什么，同样紧跟在少爷的后面了。
However, Moon was now a late-stage元婴 cultivator. Thus, she subtly released her divine sense as well.
bù guò rú jīn de yuè ér ， tóng yàng shì yuán yīng hòu qī de dà xiū xiān zhě ， yú shì shuò yě qiǎo rán jiāng zì jǐ de shén shí fàng chū 。
不过如今的月儿，同样是元婴后期的大修仙者，于是妁也悄然将自己的神识放出。
Soon, the young girl's expression changed. The entire Five-Color Spirit Mountain seemed to have undergone some major changes. High-ranking existences were nowhere to be seen.
hěn kuài ， shào nǚ de biǎo qíng yě zhù biàn le 。
很快，少女的表情也柱变了。
After all, this was where the Five-Color Fairy practiced in seclusion. As a Separation Realm monster race, she wouldn't be alone; there would naturally be many subordinates, including dozens of transformed existence monsters.
zhěng zuò wǔ sè líng shān ， fǎng fú jīng lì le zhòng dà biàn gù ， gāo jiē cún zài jū rán quán dōu bú jiàn le 。
整座五色灵山，仿佛经历了重大变故，高阶存在居然全都不见了。
But none of them could be found now. The mountain was empty except for some low-ranking monsters. Moon was also puzzled about what had happened here. Soon, the master and servant left the valley. A jade bottle, wrapped in a faint green light, floated mid-air. Lin Xuan's gaze sharpened as he stretched out his hand to gently tap it. The jade bottle fell into his palm.
yào zhī dào ， zhè lǐ kě shì wǔ sè xiān zi de qīng xiū zhī suǒ ， shēn wèi lí hé qī yāo zú . tā qǐ huì shì gū jiā guǎ rén yí gè ， zì rán yǒu xǔ duō shǒu xià lái zhe ， qí zhōng huà xíng qī de cún zài jiù yǒu shù shí zhī duō 。
要知道，这里可是五色仙子的清修之所，身为离合期妖族.她岂会是孤家寡人一个，自然有许多手下来着，其中化形期的存在就有数十之多。
Lin Xuan lowered his head and sank his divine sense in. It took him nearly half an hour before he reopened his eyes, but the expression on his face had grown even more gloomy.
miàn 。
面。
"Master, how is it? What happened?"
kě lóng zài què yí gè dōu bú jiàn le 。 rén qù shān kōng ， zhè lǐ zhǐ shèng xià yī xiē dī jiē yāo shòu 。 yuè ér yě shí fēn yí huò ， zhè lǐ jiū jìng fā shēng le shén me 。 hěn kuài zhǔ pú èr rén jiù chū le shān gǔ 。 yí gè yù tóng bèi qīng méng méng de líng guāng bāo guǒ ， xuán fú zài bàn kōng zhōng 。 lín xuān mù guāng yī níng ， shēn chū shǒu lái ， qīng qīng yì diǎn ， yún yù fú jiù luò rù le tā de zhǎng xīn lǐ lín xuān dī xià tou ， jiāng shén shí chén rù 。 zú zú guò qù le yī zhǎn chá de gōng fu ↑ cái chóng xīn zhēng qí shuāng móu ， rán ér liǎn shàng de biǎo qíng què yuè
可珑在却一个都不见了。人去山空，这里只剩下一些低阶妖兽。月儿也十分疑惑，这里究竟发生了什么。很快主仆二人就出了山谷。一个玉茼被青蒙蒙的灵光包裹，悬浮在半空中。林轩目光一凝，伸出手来，轻轻一点，郧玉苻就落入了他的掌心里林轩低下头，将神识沉入。足足过去了一盏茶的功夫↑才重新睁亓双眸，然而脸上的表情却越
"The Thousand Buddha Sect has already acted; they're besieging the Sky's End Pavilion."
jí yīn mái le 。
岌阴霾了。
Lin Xuan's face remained calm, but his tone betrayed some agitation.
“ shào yé ， rú hé ， jiū jìng zěn me le ？“
“少爷，如何，究竟怎么了？“
"Oh, so the Five-Color Fairy and Sister Yuanyi are leading their subordinates to support them?"
“ wàn fú zōng yǐ jīng dòng shǒu ， kāi shǐ wéi gōng tiān yá hǎi gé 。”“ lín “ liǎn shàng bù dòng shēng sè “ rán ér yǔ diào què míng xiǎn yǒu xiē bō lán qǐ fú 。
“万佛宗已经动手，开始围攻天涯海阁。”“林“脸上不动声色“然而语调却明显有些波澜起伏。
Moon was taken aback before she showed a thoughtful expression on her face.
“ ó ， zhè me shuō wǔ sè xiān zi hái yǒu yuàn nī jiě jiě shì dài zhuó shǒu xià qián qù zhī yuán le ？
“哦，这么说五色仙子还有媛妮姐姐是带着手下前去支援了？
"That’s only half right."
yuè ér yī dāi ， suí hòu liǎn shàng lù chū ruò yǒu suǒ sī de biǎo qíng lái 。
月儿一呆，随后脸上露出若有所思的表情来。
"Half? What do you mean by that?"
“ zhè huà shuō duì le yí bàn 。“
“这话说对了一半。“
"Yes, Sister has convinced the Five-Color Fairy to join forces. But this time, they're not going to the Sky's End Pavilion headquarters; brute force isn't the best strategy. They have other plans," Lin Xuan said slowly.
“ yí bàn ？”
“一半？”
"But what are these other plans, Master?"
“ bù cuò ， jiě jiě yǐ jīng shuō dòng wǔ sè xiān zi lián guàn ， dàn zhè yī huí ， yuàn nī tā men què bìng bú shì qù tiān yá hǎi gé zǒng duò ， yìng pīn bú shì shàng shàng zhī cè ， jiě jiě tā men lìng yǒu dǎ suàn lái zhe 。 lín xuān huǎn huǎn de kāi kǒu le 。
“不错，姐姐已经说动五色仙子联盥，但这一回，媛妮他们却并不是去天涯海阁总舵，硬拼不是上上之策，姐姐她们另有打算来着。林轩缓缓的开口了。
"Their plan is to lure and rescue. The incident happened three days ago. Sister Ruyan returned to her sect to handle the grand assembly while the Five-Color Fairy and Yuanyi led their subordinates to sweep through the Thousand Buddha Sect headquarters in Yunzhou inland, hoping to cut off their roots."
· gàn lìng yǒu dǎ suàn ， shào yé shì shuō ……”
·干另有打算，少爷是说……”
Three days ago, Dream Ruyan received a transmission from within her sect about the scattered forces of the Thousand Buddha Sect appearing in the outer sea of Yunzhou. She was asked to quickly devise strategies for repelling them.
“ wéi wèi jiù zhào ， shì qíng shì sān tiān qián fā shēng de ， rú yān jiě jiě zì rán shì huí běn zōng zhǔ chí dà jiè ， ér wǔ sè xiān zi hé jiāo yuàn zé dài lǐng shǒu xià yāo zú ， qián wǎng yún zhōu nèi lù ， sǎo dàng wàn fú zōng zǒng duò ， gěi tā lái gè fǔ dǐ chōu xīn zhī cè 。”
“围魏救赵，事情是三天前发生的，如嫣姐姐自然是回本宗主持大届，而五色仙子和姣媛则带领手下妖族，前往云州内陆，扫荡万佛宗总舵，给他来个釜底抽薪之策。”
Thus, Dream Ruyan and the Five-Color Fairy made plans for this strategy.
yuán lái jiù zài sān tiān yǐ qián ， mèng rú yān shōu dào le zōng nèi fā lái de chuán yīn fú ， shuō wàn fú zōng de shī duì rén mǎ yǐ zài yún zhōu wài hǎi chū mò ， qǐng tài shàng zhǎng lǎo gǎn kuài móu huà tuì dí liáng cè 。
原来就在三天以前，梦如嫣收到了宗内发来的传音符，说万佛宗的失队人马已在云州外海出没，请太上长老赶快谋划退敌良策。
While Lin Xuan was still sequestered in his meditation, they left behind the jade cylinder that had transmitted their message.
yú shì mèng rú yān yǔ wǔ sè xiān zi xiǎng jì ， jiù dìng xià le zhè fǔ dǐ chōu xīn zhī jì 。
于是梦如嫣与五色仙子响计，就定下了这釜底抽薪之计。
"Master, what do you intend to do? Should we go to the Sky's End Pavilion headquarters or head back to Yunzhou inland?"
dāng shí lín xuān yī jiù zài bì guān ， yú shì tā men jiù jiāng zhè chuán yīn de yù zhòu jiǎn liú le xià lái 。
当时林轩依旧在闭关，于是她们就将这传音的玉荮简留了下来。
"We'll head to Full Moon Island," Lin Xuan replied without hesitation.
“. shào yé ， nà nǐ dǎ suàn rú hé ， wǒ men shì qù tiān yá hǎi gé zǒng duò hái shì huí yún zhōu nèi lù
“.少爷，那你打算如何，我们是去天涯海阁总舵还是回云州内陆
After all, the Sky's End Pavilion was one of the seven major forces in Yunzhou and shouldn't be underestimated. With the advantage of timing, terrain, and manpower, if the Thousand Buddha Sect dared to besiege their headquarters, they must have prepared thoroughly.
dīng ’’
丁’’
They wouldn't leave anything to chance; most of their top experts were likely dispatched.
“ dāng rán shì qù mǎn zhōu dǎo le 。” lín xuān háo bù yóu yù de jīng 。
“当然是去满洲岛了。”林轩毫不犹豫的兢。
In other words, as long as there wasn't any unexpected twist, the Five-Color Fairy and Yuanyi should be able to successfully attack the Thousand Buddha Sect headquarters.
yào zhī dào tiān yá hǎi gé tóng yàng shì yún zhōu qī dà shì lì ， shí lì bù kě qīng rǔ ， ér qiě zhàn jù yāo shí dì lì rén hé ， zhè zhǒng qíng kuàng xià wàn fú zōng hái gǎn lái wéi gōng zǒng duò ， kěn dìng shì zuò le chōng fèn de zhǔn bèi lái zhe 。
要知道天涯海阁同样是云州七大势力，实力不可轻辱，而且占据夭时地利人和，这种情况下万佛宗还敢来围攻总舵，肯定是做了充分的准备来着。
The key now was whether Full Moon Island could hold out against the siege. If it fell, all efforts would be in vain.
bù gǎn shuō yì diǎn yě méi yǒu bǎo liú ， dàn kěn dìng shì pài chū le jué dà bù fèn gāo shǒu 。
不敢说一点也没有保留，但肯定是派出了绝大部分高手。
With these thoughts swirling in his mind, Lin Xuan naturally decided to help Sister Ruyan.
huàn jù huà shuō ， wǔ sè xiān zi yǔ yuàn yuàn qù tōu xí wàn fú zōng zǒng duò ， zhǐ yào bú shì yǒu shén me yāo de biàn gù ， yīng gāi kě yǐ dé shǒu 。
换句话说，五色仙子与媛媛去偷袭万佛宗总舵，只要不是有什么夭的变故，应该可以得手。
In Yunzhou, there shouldn't be any issues.
xiàn zài zuì zhòng yào de wèn tí ， shì tiān yá hǎi gé shì gēn jī zhī dì ， yíng zhōu dǎo néng fǒu shǒu zhù ， rú · guǒ bèi gōng pò le ， yī qiè dōu shì bái shuō 。
现在最重要的问题，是天涯海阁饰根基之地，瀛洲岛能否守住，如·果被攻破了，一切都是白说。
After hearing Master's analysis, Moon agreed that it made sense: "Alright, let's go and help Brother the bald one."
nǎo hǎi zhōng niàn tou zhuǎn shù ， lín xuān zì rán jué dìng qù bāng jiě jiě de máng le 。
脑海中念头转述，林轩自然决定去帮姐姐的忙了。
There was no time to lose. Moon returned to the Heavenly Fortune Mansion while Lin Xuan emitted a layer of green light and flew towards Full Moon Island.
jiāo hǎo nà lǐ ， yīng gāi bú huì yǒu pū me wèn tí 。
姣好那里，应该不会有仆么问题。
Hopefully, they wouldn't be too late for the intense battle.
tīng le shào yé de fēn xī ， yuè ér yě jué de hěn yǒu dào lǐ ：“ hǎo ， nà wǒ men jiù qù niú yī dòu tái bāng tū lǘ 。”
听了少爷的分析，月儿也觉得很有道理：“好，那我们就去牛一斗邰帮秃驴。”
Meanwhile, about a million li away,
shì bù yí chí ， yuè ér huí dào le tiān jī fǔ lǐ ， lín xuān hún shēn qīng máng dà qǐ ， xiàng yíng zhōu dǎo de jì xiàng fēi huī ér qù 。
事不宜迟，月儿回到了天机府里，林轩浑身青芒大起，像瀛洲岛的寂向飞挥而去。
Full Moon Island, headquarters of the Sky's End Pavilion. Once considered a holy site in the outer sea of Yunzhou, it was now shrouded in a solemn atmosphere.
dàn yuàn shí jiān hái méi yǒu wǎn ， zì jǐ kě bù xiǎng juǎn guò nà jī liè de dà zhàn yě .
但愿时间还没有晚，自己可不想锩过那激烈的大战也.
Even five hundred years ago, when eighty-one allied forces besieged their headquarters, the situation had never been as dire.
yǔ cǐ tóng shí ， jù lí zhè lǐ yuē bǎi wàn lǐ 。
与此同时，距离这里约百万里。
Back then, although outsiders didn't have much faith in the Sky's End Pavilion, its cultivators were confident with the Supreme Elder sitting at the helm. These minor troublemakers only sought their own destruction.
bīn zhōu dǎo ， tiān yá hǎi gé zǒng tán ， xī rì ， zhè lǐ bèi shì wéi yún zhōu wài hǎi de shèng dì ， rú
滨洲岛，天涯海阁总坛，昔日，这里被视为云州外海的圣地，如
Now, it was different. The Thousand Buddha Sect was also one of the seven major forces in Yunzhou and could match them evenly or even be stronger.
jīn què lǒng zhào zài yī piàn níng zhòng sù mù de qì fēn lǐ 。
今却笼罩在一片凝重肃穆的气氛里。
Facing such an enemy, they couldn't afford any complacency; a single misstep could lead to total annihilation.
jí shǐ shì wǔ bǎi nián qián ， bā shí yī jiā lián sī wéi gōng zǒng duò ， xíng shì yě cóng méi yǒu zhè yàng yán jùn chì 。
即使是五百年前，八十一家联丝围攻总舵，形势也从没有这样严峻赤。
Just as Lin Xuan returned from Five-Color Mountain, racing back at top speed,
bì jìng nà shí hòu . wài jiè suī bù kàn hǎo tiān yá hǎi gé ， dàn gāi pài de xiū shì què xīn zhōng yǒu fū ， yǒu tài shàng zhǎng lǎo zuò zhèn zhe ， qū qū tiào liáng xiǎo chǒu bù guò shì zì xún sǐ lù 。
毕竟那时候.外界虽不看好天涯海阁，但该派的修士却心中有敷，有太上长老坐镇着，区区跳梁小丑不过是自寻死路。
On Full Moon Island, there was a magnificent tower. In the grand hall, nearly a hundred beautiful female cultivators gathered. They ranged in age and figure, but most were pleasing to the eye.
tiào xiàng fǎn huí qíng kuàng bù tóng 。
粜向返回情况不同。
They looked like they had entered an emperor's harem, but if one delved into their minds with divine sense, no one would dare harbor any improper thoughts.
wàn fú zōng tóng wèi yún zhōu qī dà shì lì ， yǔ tā men shì jūn lì dí ， bù ， zhèng què de shuō hái yào gèng rù qiáng dà yī xiē 。
万佛宗同为云州七大势力，与他们势均力敌，不，正确的说还要更洳强大一些。
For these beautiful women were all late-stage元婴 cultivators.
miàn duì zhè yàng de dí rén ， qǐ gǎn yǒu fēn háo de qīng xīn dà yì 「 yí gè bù hǎo ， jiù yǒu kě néng yíng lái miè dǐng zhī zāi dì 。
面对这样的敌人，岂敢有分毫的轻心大意「一个不好，就有可能迎来灭顶之灾地。
Although the Sky's End Pavilion was one of the seven major forces in Yunzhou, it only accepted female disciples over a million years. Most of its internal cultivation methods had anti-aging effects. Thus, despite the elders being hundreds of years old, their appearances resembled those of young women in their twenties.
jiù zài lín xuān gāng gāng lí kāi wǔ sè bāo shān ， fēng chí diàn · gǎn huí de yī kè 。
就在林轩刚刚离开五色煲山，风驰电·赶回的一刻。
They gathered to discuss strategies for repelling the enemy.
yíng zhōu dǎo shàng ， mǒu zuò huá lì yì cháng de jù dà gé lóu 。
瀛洲岛上，某座华丽异常的巨大阁楼。
Among them, the four most prominent figures were all late-stage元婴 cultivators.
ruò dà de diàn táng zhōng ， jù jí yǒu jìn bǎi míng měi mào nǚ xiū ， láng xiá yù féi shòu ， róng mào gè bù xiāng ： lǘ ， dàn dà duō lìng rén shǎng xīn yuè mù 。
偌大的殿堂中，聚集有近百名美貌女修，琅辖昱肥瘦，容貌各不相：闾，但大多令人赏心悦目。
One was a middle-aged woman with lingering charm, whom Lin Xuan had met before—Lady Jiyue. However, she wasn't the one with the deepest cultivation; even among late-stage元婴 cultivators, there could be significant differences in strength.
yīng yīng yàn yàn . fǎng fú lái dào le dì wáng de hòu gōng ， dàn shén shí ruò zài zhè xiē nǚ xiū shēn ： shàng zé . guò ， kěn dìng méi yǒu yí gè rén zài gǎn cún yǒu fēi fèn zhī xiǎng le 。
莺莺燕燕.仿佛来到了帝王的后宫，但神识若在这些女修身：上择.过，肯定没有一个人再敢存有非分之想了。
Seated on the main seat at the head of the hall was a young-looking girl who appeared to be only sixteen or seventeen years old. Her appearance couldn't be described as beautiful but was very refined. However, all the other women looked at her with both respect and fear. This seemingly ordinary young woman was actually the sect master of the Sky's End Pavilion.
yīn wèi zhè xiē měi mào nǚ zǐ ， jū rán wú yī lì wài tóng shì yuán yīng xiū shì 。
因为这些美貌女子，居然无一例外仝是元婴修士。
She was whispering something to Lady Jiyue.
tiān yá hǎi gé suī rán shì yún zhōu qī dà shì lì zhī yī ， dàn bǎi wàn nián lái ， què zhǐ shōu nǚ dì zi ， zōng nèi de jué dà duō shù gōng fǎ ， dōu dài yǒu zhù yán xiào guǒ ， suǒ yǐ bié kàn zhè xiē zhǎng lǎo ， dōu yǐ jīng huó le shù bǎi suì nián jì ， dàn cóng róng mào shàng . què yǔ èr shí duō ’ de jiā rén xiāng sì 。
天涯海阁虽然是云州七大势力之一，但百万年来，却只收女弟子，宗内的绝大多数功法，都带有驻颜效果，所以别看这些长老，都已经活了数百岁年纪，但从容貌上.却与二十多’的佳人相似。
Even among the late-stage元婴 elders, many had expressions of alarm on their faces as they faced the impending siege.
jù jí yī táng ， gòng shāng tuì dí liáng cè 。
聚集一堂，共商退敌良策。
But just then, a cold voice echoed in their ears: "What are you all panicking for? When soldiers come, we fight them; when enemies come, we bury them. The Thousand Buddha Sect isn't weak. Do I look like I can be easily bullied?"
ér zài zhè xiē nǚ zǐ zhī zhōng ， zuì yǐn rén zhǔ rì de shì zuò zài shàng shǒu de sì gè ， wú yī lì wài ， quán shì yuán yīng hòu qī shì dà xiū xiān zhě 。
而在这些女子之中，最引人瞩日的是坐在上首的四个，无一例外，全是元婴后期饰大修仙者。
Before the words were finished, a fragrant breeze wafted as Dream Ruyan entered the grand hall.
"Master, what's the matter?"
A clear voice sounded in Lin Xuan's ears. The young girl looked puzzled. She had been with Lin Xuan for a hundred years, clinging to him through thick and thin.
Lin Xuan's face was clouded over. He took a deep breath and sighed after a long while. "Moon, have you not contacted the outside world at all these days?"
"No, I've been guarding here, never worrying about what happens outside."

"Master, how is it? What happened?"
"The Thousand Buddha Sect has already acted; they're besieging the Sky's End Pavilion."
Lin Xuan's face remained calm, but his tone betrayed some agitation.
"Oh, so the Five-Color Fairy and Sister Yuanyi are leading their subordinates to support them?"
Moon was taken aback before she showed a thoughtful expression on her face.
"That’s only half right."
"Half? What do you mean by that?"
"Yes, Sister has convinced the Five-Color Fairy to join forces. But this time, they're not going to the Sky's End Pavilion headquarters; brute force isn't the best strategy. They have other plans," Lin Xuan said slowly.
