rú cǐ dà de shēng shì ， luó jiā liú shǒu zài wàng yuè shān de xiū xiān zhě zì rán quán dōu jīng quàn le ， zhǐ jiàn líng guāng dà qǐ ， shù yǐ qiān jì de xiū xiān zhě chū xiàn zài bàn kōng lǐ 。[]
如此大的声势，罗家留守在望月山的修仙者自然全都惊劝了，只见灵光大起，数以千计的修仙者出现在半空里。[]
The grand display naturally alarmed all the cultivators left in the Luo Family's stronghold at Moonlit Mountain. Thousands of cultivators appeared mid-air as the spiritual light surged.
wàng zhe yuǎn chù de yì xiàng ， yí gè gè mù dèng kǒu dāi ， mǎn liǎn hài rán 。
望着远处的异象，一个个目瞪口呆，满脸骇然。
One by one, they stared wide-eyed, their faces filled with shock.
zhè shì shén gāng wài dí rù qīn me ？
这是什缸外敌入侵么？
Was this an invasion by outsiders?
kě fàng yǎn suǒ jí ， què jǐn kàn jiàn yí gè mò shēng rén ér yǐ 。
可放眼所极，却仅看见一个陌生人而已。
But looking around, there was only a stranger to be seen.
luó jiā zhòng xiū yù qì piāo fú zài bàn kōng ， qiè qiè sī yǔ 。
罗家众修御器漂浮在半空，窃窃私语。
The Luo Family's cultivators were floating in the air, whispering among themselves.
“ shì nǎ wèi gāo rén jià lín běn mén fēn duò ， qǐng shù bēi mǒu yǒu shī yuǎn yíng le 。”
“是哪位高人驾临本门分舵，请恕卑某有失远迎了。”
"Please, esteemed guest, if you are visiting our branch sect, please forgive my lack of proper welcome."
suí zhe qīng lǎng de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr zá ， zhǐ jiàn yuǎn chù líng guāng sì shè ， yī dào wèi lán sè de jīng hóng cóng shān bì shàng jī è shè ér chū ， shùn xī jiān jiù lái dào le lín xuān shēn qián bù yuǎn zhī chù 。
随着清朗的声音传入耳杂，只见远处灵光四射，一道蔚蓝色的惊虹从山壁上激垩射而出，瞬息间就来到了林轩身前不远之处。
With a clear voice, a response echoed through their ears. A brilliant azure light shot out from the mountain wall and streaked towards Lin Xuan's position within an instant.
zhè shì yī míng sì shí yú suì de xiū xiān zhě ， sān lóu zhǎng xū ， lǎng méi xīng mù ， mài xiàng dǎo shì bù cuò yǐ jí ， xiū wèi gèng zǒu dào le yuán yīng zhōng qī 。
这是一名四十余岁的修仙者，三偻长须，朗眉星目，卖相倒是不错以极，修为更走到了元婴中期。
This was a cultivator in his forties, with long beard and bright eyes, looking quite impressive. His cultivation had reached the middle stage of the Spirit婴中期.
bú yòng shuō ， cǐ rén shì luó jiā wàng yuè shān xiū shì zhōng jìng jiè zuì gāo de yí gè 。
不用说，此人是罗家望月山修士中境界最高的一个。
No wonder he was the highest-ranking cultivator among the Luo Family at Moonlit Mountain.
rán ér duì rú jīn de lín xuān lái shuō ， yuán yīng hòu qī yě bù fàng zài yǎn lǐ ， zhōng qī gèng bù guò shì lóu yǐ 。
然而对如今的林轩来说，元婴后期也不放在眼里，中期更不过是蝼蚁。
But to Lin Xuan, who had already advanced beyond the late-stage Separation realm, the middle stage was merely insignificant.
mù guāng zài duì fāng shēn shàng sǎo guò ， lìng rén zhàn lì de líng yā háo méi zhēng zhào de pēn yǒng ér chū 。
目光在对方身上扫过，令人战栗的灵压毫没征兆的喷涌而出。
His gaze swept over the opponent, and an overwhelming spiritual pressure erupted without warning.
kě pà de shí lì ， ràng kōng jiān dōu chū xiàn le qīng wēi de niǔ qū 。
可怕的实力，让空间都出现了轻微的扭曲。
The terrifying strength distorted the space around them.
nà míng yuán yīng zhōng qī de xiū xiān zhě dùn shí liǎn bái rú zhǐ ， shuāng mù zhōng mǎn shì hài rán zhī sè ， tuō 。 jīng hū ：“ qián bèi …… qián bèi shì lí hé jìng jiè de xiū xiān zhě ？”
那名元婴中期的修仙者顿时脸白如纸，双目中满是骇然之色，脱。惊呼：“前辈……前辈是离合境界的修仙者？”
The middle-stage Spirit cultivator's face turned pale as he stared in shock. "Senior… Senior, are you a cultivator of the Separation realm?"
shà shí jiān ， tā yǒu rú diào jìn le bīng kū ， hún shēn fā dǒu ， qí tā xiū shì gèng bú yòng shuō ， pū tōng pū tōng de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， bié shuō zhù jī qī yǔ líng dòng qī de xiǎo xiū xiān zhě ， jiù suàn shì níng dān xiū shì ， yě jià yù bú zhù fǎ bǎo ， fēn fēn cóng tiān kōng zhōng diào luò 。
霎时间，他有如掉进了冰窟，浑身发抖，其他修士更不用说，噗通噗通的声音传入耳朵，别说筑基期与灵动期的小修仙者，就算是凝丹修士，也驾驭不住法宝，纷纷从天空中掉落。
He seemed to have fallen into an ice cave, shivering all over. The other cultivators were no better; they could be heard falling from the sky with thuds.
lín xuān lái dào cǐ chù ， zì rán bú shì wèi le bǎi xiǎn lái de 。
林轩来到此处，自然不是为了摆显来的。
Even the Foundation Establishment and Flexible Spirit period cultivators couldn't control their treasures, plummeting down.
duì dí rén hái yǒu shén me hào kè qì ， tā xiù páo yī fú ， lìng rén yá suān de pò kōng shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， dùn shí zhěng jīn tiān kōng ， dōu bèi yuán qì suǒ huà de fēng rèn suǒ zhē bì zhù 。
对敌人还有什么好客气，他袖袍一拂，令人牙酸的破空声传入耳朵，顿时整今天空，都被元气所化的风刃所遮蔽住。
Lin Xuan's arrival wasn't for show; he had no qualms about dealing with his enemies. With a flick of his sleeve, an ear-piercing sound filled the air as wind blades obscured the entire sky.
zhè xiē fēng rèn dà xiǎo gè bù xiāng tóng ， yǒu de yǔ xiǎo hái de bā zhǎng chà bu duō ， yǒu de zhí jìng zé chāo guò le zhàng xǔ ， kàn shàng qù yào mù yǐ jí 。
这些风刃大小各不相同，有的与小孩的巴掌差不多，有的直径则超过了丈许，看上去耀目以极。
These wind blades varied in size, some as big as a child’s palm and others over ten feet wide, dazzling to behold.
luó jiā xiū shì wú bù mǎn liǎn wèi jù ， kě fāng yuán shù lǐ ， dōu bèi lín xuān de wēi yā suǒ zhào zhù ， tā men bié shuō duǒ ， hún shēn shàng xià ， gēn běn dòng tán bù dé ， zhǐ néng yǎn zhēng zhēng de kàn zhe zì jǐ yǔ tóng bàn bèi píng chuō 。
罗家修士无不满脸畏惧，可方圆数里，都被林轩的威压所罩住，他们别说躲，浑身上下，根本动弹不得，只能眼睁睁的看着自己与同伴被屏戳。
The Luo Family cultivators were visibly fearful, but Lin Xuan's pressure encompassed several miles. They couldn't even move; they could only watch helplessly as their companions were ensnared.
cǎn jiào shēng cǐ qǐ bǐ fú ， kōng qì zhōng mí màn zhe nóng nóng de xuè xīng zhī qì ， qián hòu bù guò xiǎo bàn zhǎn chá de gōng fu ， shù yǐ qiān jì de xiū xiān zhě ， jiù quán bù huà wèi lín xuān de shǒu xià wáng hún le 。
惨叫声此起彼伏，空气中弥漫着浓浓的血腥之气，前后不过小半盏茶的功夫，数以千计的修仙者，就全部化为林轩的手下亡魂了。
Screams echoed in the air, filled with the stench of blood. In just a short while, thousands of cultivators had all become Lin Xuan's fallen souls.
rén bù fàn wǒ ， wǒ bù fàn rén ， rén ruò fàn wǒ ， wǒ miè tā mǎn mén ” shuí ràng zhè xiē jiā huo tài suì tóu shàng dòng tǔ ， yǒu zhè yàng de xià chǎng yě shì zuì yǒu yīng dé 。
人不犯我，我不犯人，人若犯我，我灭他满门”谁让这些家伙太岁头上动土，有这样的下场也是罪有应得。
"Those who do not offend me, I do not offend; those who offend me, I will destroy them." These were the consequences for these people disturbing his territory.
méi jiāng tā men chōu hún liàn pò yǐ suàn fǎ wài kāi ēn ， bù guò yuán shén lín xuān yī jiù bú huì làng fèi diào de 。
没将他们抽魂炼魄已算法外开恩，不过元神林轩依旧不会浪费掉的。
Even though he didn't take their souls to refine, he still wouldn't waste the spirits of the dead.
yòu shǒu fān zhuǎn ” yī bā zhǎng dà xiǎo de fān qí fú xiàn chū lái 。
右手翻转”一巴掌大小的幡旗浮现出来。
With a flick of his hand, a banner appeared, as large as a palm.
lín xuān yī zhǐ diǎn qù ” dùn shí yīn fēng rú mò ， shòu hún fān yíng fēng jiù zhǎng ” piàn kè hòu yǐ huà wèi mǔ xǔ dà xiǎo ， yí gè yōu shēn de hēi dòng chū xiàn zài le fān qí de zhèng zhōng 。
林轩一指点去”顿时阴风如墨，兽魂幡迎风就涨”片刻后已化为亩许大小，一个幽深的黑洞出现在了幡旗的正中。
Lin Xuan pointed with his finger, and immediately dark clouds swirled. The Beast Soul Banner expanded in the wind, eventually growing to an acre's size. A deep black hole appeared at its center.
shēn bú jiàn dǐ ， lǐ miàn sàn fà zhe lìng rén xīn jì de guǐ qì 。
深不见底，里面散发着令人心悸的鬼气。
Infinite and bottomless, it emitted a heart-stopping aura.
bàn suí zhe qī lì de guǐ kū ， wú shù cháng duǎn bù yī de chù shǒu chū xiàn le ， rú qún mó luàn wǔ ， kāi shǐ shōu jí yǔn luò xiū shì de hún pò 。
伴随着凄厉的鬼哭，无数长短不一的触手出现了，如群魔乱舞，开始收集陨落修士的魂魄。
With a mournful cry, countless tentacles emerged, like demons dancing, collecting the souls of the fallen cultivators.
dāng rán ” yuán yīng gèng bú huì fàng guò ， zhè xiē duì yú mó dào bǎo wù shòu hún fān lái shuō ， wú yī lì wài quán shì dà bǔ 。
当然”元婴更不会放过，这些对于魔道宝物兽魂幡来说，无一例外全是大补。
The same was true for Spirit婴s; they were all beneficial to this magical artifact, the Beast Soul Banner.
shōu jí shēng hún bìng méi yǒu huā fèi duō shǎo gōng fu 。
收集生魂并没有huā费多少功夫。
Collecting living souls didn't take much time. After several breaths, Lin Xuan opened his hand, and the banner shrank quickly, landing in his palm.
jǐ xī zhī hòu lín xuān tān kāi yòu shǒu ， fān qí xùn sù suō xiǎo ， luò dào le tā de zhǎng xīn zhī shàng 。
几息之后林轩摊开右手，幡旗迅速缩小，落到了他的掌心之上。
Examining the treasure in his hand, Lin Xuan's eyes showed a mix of emotions. As they say, where there is no intention to plant, a willow tree grows. Initially, he didn't value this Beast Soul Banner much, but with the increasing number of souls absorbed, its power had grown immensely.
kàn zhuó shǒu zhōng de fǎ bǎo ， lín xuān yǎn zhōng yě yǐn yǐn liú lù chū jǐ fēn fù zá zhī sè ， sú huà shuō ， wú xīn chā liǔ liǔ chéng yīn ， zhè shòu hún fān zì jǐ qǐ chū zhī shí ， bìng bú shì rú hé kàn zhòng ， rán ér suí zhe rú jīn xī nà shēng hún de zēng duō ， wēi lì què yǐ shì fēi tóng xiǎo kě 。
看着手中的法宝，林轩眼中也隐隐流露出几分复杂之色，俗话说，无心插柳柳成荫，这兽魂幡自己起初之时，并不是如何看重，然而随着如今吸纳生魂的增多，威力却已是非同小可。
It was even surpassing the Nine Heavens Moonlight Ring.
shèn zhì yǐn yǐn de ， yǐ líng jià yú jiǔ tiān míng yuè huán zhī shàng le 。
甚至隐隐的，已凌驾于九天明月环之上了。
Lin Xuan sighed; if given the chance, he would replace his main treasure.
lín xuān tàn le kǒu qì ” rú guǒ yǒu jī huì ” tā hái zhēn xiǎng jiāng běn mìng fǎ bǎo gěi huàn diào 。
林轩叹了口气”如果有机会”他还真想将本命法宝给换掉。
But for now, it wasn't urgent. With a thought, Lin Xuan flipped his wrist and stowed the Beast Soul Banner in his storage belt. Then, he closed his eyes and released an incredibly powerful divine consciousness.
dāng rán ， cǐ shì bù jí 。
当然，此事不急。
The entire area within a thousand miles was under his control.
nǎo hǎi zhōng niàn tou zhuǎn guò ， lín xuān shǒu wàn fān zhuǎn ， jiāng shòu hún fān shōu jìn yāo jiān de chǔ wù dài lǐ miàn ， suí hòu bì shàng shuāng mù ” jiāng qiáng dà yǐ jí de shén shí fàng chū 。
脑海中念头转过，林轩手腕翻转，将兽魂幡收进腰间的储物袋里面，随后闭上双目”将强大以极的神识放出。
Every blade of grass, every leaf falling from a tree, even ants searching for food, were all visible to him.
fāng yuán qiān lǐ ， quán dōu nà rù tā de zhǎng kòng 。
方圆千里，全都纳入他的掌控。
Though not everything could be controlled, the ability to see everything was exhilarating.
yī cǎo yī mù ， yī piàn shù yè cóng zhàng tóu diào luò ， yī zhī mǎ yǐ chū dòng xún zhǎo shí wù ， quán dōu kàn dé yì qīng èr chǔ 。
一草一木，一片树叶从杖头掉落，一只蚂蚁出洞寻找食物，全都看得一清二楚。
Cultivation required much hardship that ordinary people couldn't imagine, but the rewards were immense.
suī bù néng shuō tiān dì jǐn zài zhǎng wò ， dàn zhè zhǒng dòng xī wàn wù de gǎn jué yě ràng rén rè xuè fèi téng le 。
虽不能说天地尽在掌握，但这种洞悉万物的感觉也让人热血沸腾了。
Compared to mortals, they had an endless lifespan and the wondrous techniques of flying through the clouds.
xiū xiān gù rán yào chī hěn duō cháng rén nán yǐ xiǎng xiàng de kǔ chǔ ， dàn huí bào yě shì fēng hòu yǐ jí de 。
修仙固然要吃很多常人难以想象的苦楚，但回报也是丰厚以极的。
After a while, Lin Xuan opened his eyes. He had thoroughly searched Moonlit Mountain; there were no survivors.
yǔ fán rén xiāng bǐ ， màn cháng de shòu yuán ， yǐ jí téng yún jià wù de shén miào fǎ shù 。
与凡人相比，漫长的寿元，以及腾云驾雾的神妙法术。
Lin Xuan wasn’t worried about anyone using concealment techniques; even late-stage Spirit婴s couldn't deceive him.
shǎo qǐng ， lín xuān zhēng kāi shuāng mù 。
少顷，林轩睁开双目。
The Luo Family's cultivators had all been eliminated.
zhěng gè wàng yuè shān ， tā yǐ jīng zǐ xì zhǎo le yī biàn ， méi yǒu xìng cún zhě 。
整个望月山，他已经仔细找了一遍，没有幸存者。
Satisfied with the outcome, Lin Xuan’s body was enveloped in a green glow as he flew towards the distance. Moonlit Mountain returned to silence.
lín xuān bìng bù dān xīn yǒu rén shī zhǎn yǐn nì fǎ shù ， jiù suàn shì yuán yīng hòu qī de dà xiū xiān zhě ， yě jué méi yǒu běn shì zài zì jǐ miàn qián wán mán tiān guò hǎi de 。
林轩并不担心有人施展隐匿法术，就算是元婴后期的大修仙者，也绝没有本事在自己面前玩瞒天过海的。
After killing his enemies, there was no need for him to stay here. The next step would be for Bai Xuan Pavilion's cultivators to clean up the mess.
luó jiā xiū shì jiē yǐ fú zhū 。
罗家修士皆已伏诛。
This was the benefit of being an upper-tier figure; he didn't have to handle everything personally.
lín xuān liǎn shàng lù chū mǎn yì zhī sè ， suí hòu hún shēn qīng máng dà qǐ ， pò kōng xiàng yuǎn chù fēi qù 。
林轩脸上露出满意之色，随后浑身青芒大起，破空像远处飞去。
Thousand Flowers Mountain was located west of Youzhou. For this region, it was also a good place with abundant spiritual veins.
wàng yuè shān chóng xīn biàn dé yī piàn sǐ jì 。
望月山重新变得一片死寂。
The mountain terrain was rugged and even had imperial energy.
miè shā dí rén yǐ hòu ， tā méi yǒu bì yào liú zài cǐ chù ， jiē xià lái xīn ér zì rán huì dài zhe bài xuān gé de xiū shì lái shōu shí cán jú 。
灭杀敌人以后，他没有必要留在此处，接下来芯儿自然会带着拜轩阁的修士来收拾残局。
An hour later, Lin Xuan arrived here.
zhè jiù shì shēn wèi shàng wèi zhě de hǎo chù ， méi yǒu bì yào shì bì gōng qīn de 。
这就是身为上位者的好处，没有必要事必躬亲的。
It was clear that this was another gathering point for the Luo Family's cultivators.
qiān huà shān wèi yú yōu zhōu yǐ xī ， jiù běn dì lái shuō ， tóng yàng shì bù cuò de líng mài zhī dì 。
千华山位于幽州以西，就本地来说，同样是不错的灵脉之地。
Lin Xuan didn’t try to hide his presence; he met the patrolling disciples immediately.
shān shì qǐ fú ， shèn zhì jù yǒu dì wáng zhī qì 。
山势起伏，甚至具有帝王之气。
As expected, they were interrogated by Lin Xuan to gather intelligence without much ado. The Soul Search technique proved most convenient.
yí gè shí chén yǐ hòu ” lín xuān lái dào le zhè lǐ 。
一个时辰以后”林轩来到了这里。
The Luo Family’s cultivators at Thousand Flowers Mountain were shocked and quickly activated their禁制大阵. But there was no issue; within a quarter of an hour, everything was wiped out by Lin Xuan.
bú yòng shuō ， zhè yě shì luó jiā xiū shì de yī chù jù jí zhī suǒ 。
不用说，这也是罗家修士的一处聚集之所。
Then, as before, he transformed into a streak of light and vanished into the distance.
lín xuān bìng méi yǒu yǐn cáng xíng jì de yì tú ， yī chū xiàn ， jiù yǔ duì fāng xún luó de dì zǐ jìn yù le 。
林轩并没有隐藏行迹的意图，一出现，就与对方巡逻的弟子进遇了。
In just three hours, all branches and secret bases of the Luo Family in Youzhou were attacked by this mysterious cultivator. His abilities were beyond comprehension; his actions were clean and efficient, leaving no survivors.
jié guǒ bú yòng shuō ， tā men yòu bèi lín xuān ná lái liǎo jiě qíng bào ， yě bù duō fèi kǒu shé ， sōu hún shù shì zuì fāng biàn de 。
结果不用说，他们又被林轩拿来了解情报，也不多费口舌，搜魂术是最方便的。
The strength the Luo Family had built up over a century was completely destroyed by this mysterious figure at its infancy.
qiān huà shān de luó jiā xiū shì dà jīng shī sè ， máng jiāng jìn zhì dà zhèn kāi qǐ ， kě nǎ yǒu shén me wèn tí ， qián hòu bù guò yī kè zhōng ， jiù bèi lín xuān tú chuō yī kōng 。
千华山的罗家修士大惊失色，忙将禁制大阵开启，可哪有什么问题，前后不过一刻钟，就被林轩屠戳一空。
Mochoo Valley, deep within the Yin Mountains, was where the Luo Family's main stronghold in Youzhou was located.
rán hòu lín xuān rú xiān qián yì bān ， huà wèi yī dào jīng hóng ， xiāo shī zài le tiān jì zhī zhōng 。
然后林轩如先前一般，化为一道惊虹，消失在了天际之中。
Originally, the Yin Mountains were a gathering place for beasts. Strangely, there were no monsters near Mochoo Valley.
duǎn duǎn sān gè shí chén de gōng fu 。
短短三个时辰的功夫。
No one knew why, but it was clear that hiding here was very safe for the Luo Family.
luó jiā zài yōu zhōu de fēn tán yǔ gè mì mì jù diǎn ， jiē zāo dào le yī shén mì xiū shì de xí jī ， duì fāng de shén tōng qiáng dà dào bù kě sī yì ， chū shǒu gān jìng lì suǒ ， méi yǒu yí gè xìng cún zhě 。
罗家在幽州的分坛与各秘密据点，皆遭到了一神秘修士的袭击，对方的神通强大到不可思议，出手干净利索，没有一个幸存者。
If not for Bai Xuan Pavilion being a local power with deep roots in Youzhou and extensive influence throughout the prefecture, even with some connections to the Moon Shadow Clan, finding their main base would have been extremely difficult.
luó jiā zhè bǎi nián lái wò xīn cháng dǎn ， hǎo bù róng yì fā zhǎn qǐ lái de shì lì ， quán bù bèi zhè shén mì xiū shì tuō shā zài le méng yá lǐ 。
罗家这百年来卧薪尝胆，好不容易发展起来的势力，全部被这神秘修士拖杀在了萌芽里。
However, due to its remote location, information was naturally limited. With Lin Xuan's usual practice of leaving no survivors, the Luo Family elders at Mochoo Valley remained unaware of what had happened.
The grand display naturally alarmed all the cultivators left in the Luo Family's stronghold at Moonlit Mountain. Thousands of cultivators appeared mid-air as the spiritual light surged.
One by one, they stared wide-eyed, their faces filled with shock.
Was this an invasion by outsiders?
But looking around, there was only a stranger to be seen.

His gaze swept over the opponent, and an overwhelming spiritual pressure erupted without warning.
The terrifying strength distorted the space around them.
The middle-stage Spirit cultivator's face turned pale as he stared in shock. "Senior… Senior, are you a cultivator of the Separation realm?"
He seemed to have fallen into an ice cave, shivering all over. The other cultivators were no better; they could be heard falling from the sky with thuds.

Lin Xuan's arrival wasn't for show; he had no qualms about dealing with his enemies. With a flick of his sleeve, an ear-piercing sound filled the air as wind blades obscured the entire sky.
These wind blades varied in size, some as big as a child’s palm and others over ten feet wide, dazzling to behold.

With a flick of his hand, a banner appeared, as large as a palm.
"Go!"
Lin Xuan pointed with his finger, and immediately dark clouds swirled. The Beast Soul Banner expanded in the wind, eventually growing to an acre's size. A deep black hole appeared at its center.
Infinite and bottomless, it emitted a heart-stopping aura.
Woo…
With a mournful cry, countless tentacles emerged, like demons dancing, collecting the souls of the fallen cultivators.
