“ suí hòu tā dān shǒu yī qiā fǎ jué ， shǒu zhǎng shàng líng mǐ shǎn dòng bù zhǐ ， dàn hěn kuài ， lǎo mó guǐ liǎn shàng de biǎo qíng què yīn mái xià qù ， lěng xiào de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ 。
“随后他单手一掐法决，手掌上灵米闪动不只，但很快，老魔鬼脸上的表情却阴霾下去，冷笑的声音传入耳朵。
Subsequently, he cast a spell with one hand. The palm emitted flashes of spirit grains, but soon, the old devil's expression turned grim as a cold laugh echoed in his ears.
“ bù cuò ， bù cuò ， jū rán jiāng běn lǎo zǔ liú xià de biāo jì yòng líng lì gěi yǎn gài le ， qū qū yuán yīng xiū shì méi yǒu zhè yàng de shí lì ， yòu shì nà xìng lín de xiǎo zi suǒ gàn de hǎo shì 。”，“ bù guò nǐ yǐ wéi zhè yàng ， jiù néng táo tuō běn lǎo zǔ de zhuī suǒ ， tài tiān zhēn le 。”， huà yīn wèi luò ， tā shǒu shàng de líng guāng biàn chéng le hēi sè ， piàn kè hòu miàn kǒng shàng shǎn guò yī sī hěn lì zhī sè ， èr huà bù shuō de shēn xíng yī zhuǎn ， xiàng mǒu gè fāng xiàng fēng chí diàn chè de ér qù le 。
“不错，不错，居然将本老祖留下的标记用灵力给掩盖了，区区元婴修士没有这样的实力，又是那姓林的小子所干的好事。”，“不过你以为这样，就能逃脱本老祖的追索，太天真了。”，话音未落，他手上的灵光变成了黑色，片刻后面孔上闪过一丝狠厉之色，二话不说的身形一转，像某个方向风驰电掣的而去了。
"Good, good, you actually managed to cover up my mark left behind with spiritual energy. A mere Core Formation cultivator wouldn't have such strength; it must be that Lin Xuan brat," he said. "But do you think this will let you escape the old ancestor's pursuit? Too naive."
yǔ cǐ tóng shí ， shù wàn lǐ zhī wài ， hóng yè xiān zi què téng dé liǎn qīng chún bái 。 jiù zài gāng cái ， lǎo mó liú zài tā tǐ è nèi de yāo qì yòu fā zuò qǐ lái 。
与此同时，数万里之外，红叶仙子却疼得脸青唇白。就在刚才，老魔留在她体垩内的妖气又发作起来。
Before his words were fully spoken, the light on his hand turned black. Moments later, a hint of viciousness flashed across his face as he swiftly changed direction and sped off in an unknown direction.
lín xuān de liǎn sè tóng yàng nán kàn ， dú lóng mó zǔ ， bù kuì shì dòng xuán qī de lǎo guài wù ， qū qū yí gè zhuī zōng biāo jì ， zì jǐ jū rán dōu méi yǒu bàn fǎ yǎn gài mǒ qù 。
林轩的脸色同样难看，毒龙魔祖，不愧是洞玄期的老怪物，区区一个追踪标记，自己居然都没有办法掩盖抹去。
At the same time, several miles away, Fairy Red Leaf paled and her lips turned white from pain. Just now, the demon qi left by the old devil had once again flared up within her body.
dāng rán tā bú huì zuò yǐ dài bì ， lín xuān hún shēn qīng máng dà qǐ ， yǐ gèng kuài de sù dù dài zhe hóng yè xiàng qián fāng fēi chí ér qù 。
当然他不会坐以待毙，林轩浑身青芒大起，以更快的速度带着红叶像前方飞驰而去。
Lin Xuan's expression was equally grim. The Demon Tyrant of Poison Dragon, indeed a formidable ancient monster at the Profound Void stage, even such a simple tracking mark proved too much for him to cover up and erase.
yuǎn chù ， dú lóng mó zǔ jiāng liǎng rén de xíng zōng gǎn yìng dé qīng qīng chǔ chǔ ” zuǐ jiǎo biān liú lù chū yī sī jī cháo zhī sè ：“ xiǎng zǒu ， nǐ néng táo dào nǎ lǐ ？”
远处，毒龙魔祖将两人的行踪感应得清清楚楚”嘴角边流露出一丝讥嘲之色：“想走，你能逃到哪里？”
Of course, he wouldn't sit idly by. Lin Xuan's entire body emitted a green glow as he sped forward with greater speed, carrying Fairy Red Leaf toward their destination.
cóng dùn sù lái shuō ， tā bǐ liǎng rén què shí kuài shàng yī chóu ， jù lí zài bù tíng suō duǎn ， zhuī shàng bù guò shì duō huā yī xiē shí jiān 。
从遁速来说，他比两人确实快上一筹，距离在不停缩短，追上不过是多huā一些时间。
Far away, the Demon Tyrant of Poison Dragon clearly sensed their movements. A sneer curled at his lips: "Want to escape? Where can you run?"
ér zhè yī qiè ， lín xuān bìng bù xiǎo de ， rú jīn de xíng shì ， duì tā bù lì dào jí chù 。
而这一切，林轩并不晓得，如今的形势，对他不利到极处。
From the speed of teleportation, he was indeed faster than them, and the distance between them kept narrowing; catching up would just take a bit more time.
chú fēi xiān huí dào hóng yè dǎo ， nà lǎo guài wù jì rán bù gǎn jiāng zhēn shēn xiǎn lù ， bì dìng shì yǒu suǒ gù jì ， nà yàng cái huì tóu shǔ jì qì 。
除非先回到红叶岛，那老怪物既然不敢将真身显露，必定是有所顾忌，那样才会投鼠忌器。
Lin Xuan didn't know this. The current situation was extremely unfavorable for him.
kě shí bù dài wǒ ， jiù xiàn zài zhè zhǒng qíng kuàng ， lái bù lái de jí ， kě hái shì wèi zhī zhī shù 。
可时不待我，就现在这种情况，来不来得及，可还是未知之数。
Unless he returned to Red Leaf Island first, that old monster wouldn't dare reveal his true form because of some reservations. That would be like a cat chasing a mouse—hesitant and cautious.
dāng rán ， lín xuān zì jǐ ， shēn shàng bìng méi yǒu bèi xià biāo jì ， rú guǒ tā kěn pāo xià hóng yè xiān zi ， dú zì táo zǒu yīng gāi yě hěn qīng yì 。
当然，林轩自己，身上并没有被下标记，如果他肯抛下红叶仙子，独自逃走应该也很轻易。
But time was not on his side. In the current state, whether or not they could escape remained uncertain.
qí shí ， lín xuān zhēn xiǎng guò nà me zuò 。
其实，林轩真想过那么做。
Of course, Lin Xuan himself wasn't marked; if he left Fairy Red Leaf behind to escape alone, it should have been easy enough.
bì jìng tā yǐ jīng yòng huàn líng tiān huǒ jiāng xuè zhòu wén shū jiě chú 。
毕竟他已经用幻灵天火将血咒文书解除。
Actually, Lin Xuan had considered doing just that.
hé kuàng zì jǐ yǔ hóng yè biǎo miàn suī jié bài le ， dàn shí jì shàng què bìng bú shì hěn shú ， xiū xiān zhě dōu shì zì sī zì lì de ， pāo xià tā yě bú huì yǒu xīn lǐ fù dān shén me 。
何况自己与红叶表面虽结拜了，但实际上却并不是很熟，修仙者都是自私自利的，抛下她也不会有心理负担什么。
After all, he had already used Illusory Heavenly Flame to remove the Blood Curse Document.
dàn lín xuān xiǎng le xiǎng ， hái shì rěn zhù le yòu huò 。
但林轩想了想，还是忍住了诱惑。
Moreover, although they were sworn siblings, their relationship was not very close. As a self-centered cultivator, leaving her behind wouldn't weigh on his conscience.
dāng rán ， bú shì yīn wèi duì fāng shì nǚ rén jiù xīn ruǎn le 。
当然，不是因为对方是女人就心软了。
But after some thought, Lin Xuan resisted the temptation.
zhī suǒ yǐ zhè me zuò ， lín xuān yǒu kǎo lǜ 。
之所以这么做，林轩有考虑。
It wasn't because of her gender that he hesitated; rather, there were other reasons.
yī shì xiū xiān zhě suī zì sī zì lì ， dàn lín xuān dài rén ， què jiāng xīn bǐ xīn 。
一是修仙者虽自私自利，但林轩待人，却将心比心。
Firstly, while cultivators are selfish, Lin Xuan tried to put himself in others' shoes when dealing with people.
hóng yè xiān zi yǒu suí jī chuán sòng fú ， què bìng méi yǒu zhǐ gù zhe zì jǐ táo zǒu ， xiàn zài wēi jī shàng wèi lín tóu ， jiù dòng shǒu jiāng tā pāo xià ， lín xuān duō shǎo hái shì yǒu xiē nèi jiù 。
红叶仙子有随机传送符，却并没有只顾着自己逃走，现在危机尚未临头，就动手将她抛下，林轩多少还是有些内疚。
Fairy Red Leaf had a random teleportation talisman but hadn't used it to escape alone. Now, before the crisis hit, she was still willing to risk her life for him. This made Lin Xuan feel somewhat guilty.
ér zhè jǐn jǐn shì qí zhōng yí gè lǐ yóu 。
而这仅仅是其中一个理由。
This was just one reason; another was his doubts about the Demon Tyrant of Poison Dragon. Why would such a powerful cultivator at the Profound Void stage target an island?
hái yǒu yí gè zé shì duì dú lóng lǎo zǔ de yí huò ， duì fāng shēn wèi dòng xuán qī de dà néng xiū xiān zhě ， wèi hé huì tú móu zuò dǎo yǔ ne ？
还有一个则是对毒龙老祖的疑惑，对方身为洞玄期的大能修仙者，为何会图谋座岛屿呢？
This secret seemed closely tied to Fairy Red Leaf.
zhè mì mì yǔ hóng yè xiān zi sì hū dà yǒu guān xì 。
这秘密与红叶仙子似乎大有关系。
Therefore, he couldn't abandon her so easily.
suǒ yǐ lín xuān gèng bù néng suí biàn pāo xià cǐ nǚ 。
所以林轩更不能随便抛下此女。
After all, if a powerful Profound Void cultivator found it interesting, how could Lin Xuan not care? If fate allowed him to seize this opportunity...
bì jìng ràng dòng xuán qī lǎo guài yě gǎn xìng qù de hǎo chù ， lín xuān yòu zěn me huì bù zài yì ne ？
毕竟让洞玄期老怪也感兴趣的好处，林轩又怎么会不在意呢？
As for the risks of taking what was not his, Lin Xuan had considered them. He wasn't afraid; after all, he had faced far greater dangers before.
rú guǒ néng jī yuán qiǎo hé ， luò dào zì jǐ de shǒu lǐ ……
如果能机缘巧合，落到自己的手里……
So, regardless of sentiment or interest, abandoning Fairy Red Leaf would be foolish and imprudent. Despite his confidence in his own speed, he hadn't realized just how formidable a Profound Void cultivator could be.
zhì yú hǔ kǒu duó shí de wēi xiǎn ， lín xuān dāng rán yě xiǎng guò ， dàn zhè yàng de shì qíng tā yòu bú shì gàn guò yī cì liǎng cì le ， fù guì xiǎn zhōng qiú ， rú guǒ dǎn xiǎo rú shǔ ， hái tán shén me xiū xiān zhī lù ， gān cuì ， huí jiā bào hái zi qiú gè píng píng ān ān suàn le 。
至于虎口夺食的危险，林轩当然也想过，但这样的事情他又不是干过一次两次了，富贵险中求，如果胆小如鼠，还谈什么修仙之路，干脆，回家抱孩子求个平平安安算了。
They sped forward like a flash of lightning for an hour. In the distance, a streak of light flew by like a movie scene, its speed so fast that even low-ranking cultivators struggled to see it clearly. Suddenly, the light dimmed, and Lin Xuan paused.
suǒ yǐ bù lùn jiǎng rén qíng ， hái shì tán lì yì ， pāo xià hóng yè xiān zi dōu shì hěn shǎ hěn yú chǔn dì ， duì yú zì jǐ de dùn sù ， lín xuān hái shì xìn xīn shí zú ， dāng rán ” zhè shì tā shàng wèi rèn shí dào ， dòng xuán qī lǎo guài wù ， jiū jìng kě pà dào shén me chéng dù 。
所以不论讲人情，还是谈利益，抛下红叶仙子都是很傻很愚蠢地，对于自己的遁速，林轩还是信心十足，当然”这是他尚未认识到，洞玄期老怪物，究竟可怕到什么程度。
His face turned pale; not long ago, his divine sense had already picked up the old devil's whereabouts, meaning he was only about a thousand miles away.
yī lù fēng chí diàn chè ， hěn kuài ， yí gè shí chén jiù guò qù le 。
一路风驰电掣，很快，一个时辰就过去了。
This pursuit would eventually catch up with them.
yuǎn chù de tiān biān ， yī dào jīng hóng rú liú guāng diàn yǐng bān fēi chí ér lái ， qí sù dù zhī kuài ， xiū wèi dī diǎn de xiū xiān zhě jī hū shì kàn dōu kàn bù qīng chǔ ， tū rán ” guāng máng yī liǎn ， lín xuān què shì zàn shí tíng le xià lái 。
远处的天边，一道惊虹如流光电影般飞驰而来，其速度之快，修为低点的修仙者几乎是看都看不清楚，突然”光芒一敛，林轩却是暂时停了下来。
"Brother."
tā de liǎn sè yǒu xiē fā bái ， jiù zài bù jiǔ yǐ qián ， lín xuān de shén shí ， yǐ jīng bǔ zhuō dào nà lǎo mó de zōng jì ， huàn jù huà shuō ， tā jù lí zì jǐ ， yīng gāi zhǐ shèng xià qiān yú lǐ 。
他的脸色有些发白，就在不久以前，林轩的神识，已经捕捉到那老魔的踪迹，换句话说，他距离自己，应该只剩下千余里。
Fairy Red Leaf's expression grew even more pitiful. The demon qi mark in her body hadn't flared up yet, but she knew it was because of her that they were being targeted by the old devil.
zhè yàng xià qù ， chí zǎo huì bèi zhuī shàng dì 。
这样下去，迟早会被追上地。
If this continued, both siblings would only die together.
“ dà gē 。”
“大哥。”
"Farewell, Brother. I need tea..." Fairy Red Leaf bit her lip and suggested parting ways, determination etched on her clear face.
hóng yè xiān zi de liǎn shàng gèng mǎn shì chǔ chǔ kě lián zhī sè ， cǐ shí tā tǐ è nèi de yāo qì yìn jì dǎo shì méi yǒu fā zuò ， dàn hóng yè yě qīng chǔ ， zhèng shì yīn wèi zì jǐ ， liǎng rén cái bèi lǎo mó gěi suǒ dìng de 。
红叶仙子的脸上更满是楚楚可怜之色，此时他体垩内的妖气印记倒是没有发作，但红叶也清楚，正是因为自己，两人才被老魔给锁定的。
"Part ways? Do you want to die?" Lin Xuan was surprised; he had expected her to worry about him abandoning her, not suggest such a move.
zhè yàng xià qù ， xiōng mèi èr rén ， wéi yǒu sǐ zài yì qǐ 。
这样下去，兄妹二人，唯有死在一起。
"Naturally, I don't wish to perish. But if we continue like this, it will only drag Brother down. If Brother can escape alone, that would be better. I just hope that one day, when you reach the Profound Void stage, you'll kill this old monster and avenge me; then, my sister will be eternally grateful," Fairy Red Leaf said with a touch of sorrow.
“ dà gē ， yào chá …… wǒ men fēn kāi zǒu 。” hóng yè yǎo le yǎo zuǐ chún ， rú cǐ zhè bān de kāi kǒu ， qīng lì de liǎn róng shàng ， mǎn shì jiān dìng zhī sè 。
“大哥，要茶……我们分开走。”红叶咬了咬嘴唇，如此这般的开口，清丽的脸容上，满是坚定之色。
"Thank you for your kindness, Sister. I won't forget it."
“ fēn kāi zǒu ， mí xiǎng sǐ me ？” lín xuān dà gǎn chà yì ， àn lǐ shuō ， hóng yè yīng gāi dān xīn zì jǐ huì bú huì jiāng tā pāo qì ， méi xiǎng dào huì zhǔ dòng yǒu zhè yàng de tí yì 。
“分开走，弥想死么？”林轩大感诧异，按理说，红叶应该担心自己会不会将她抛弃，没想到会主动有这样的提议。
Fairy Red Leaf's gratitude was evident as she knew time was precious. She bowed gracefully before vanishing into the sky like a streak of lightning.
“ hóng yè zì rán bù xiǎng yǔn luò ， kě zhè yàng xià qù zhǐ huì lián lěi dà gē ， yǔ qí yì qǐ sǐ ， dà gē bù rú dú zì táo hǎo le ， zhǐ xī wàng dà gē ruò yǒu zhāo yī rì jìn jiē dòng xuán ， néng shā le zhè lǎo yāo wù ， wèi wǒ bào chóu xiǎo mèi jiù gǎn jī bù jìn le 。” hóng yè yǒu xiē qī wǎn de shuō 。
“红叶自然不想陨落，可这样下去只会连累大哥，与其一起死，大哥不如独自逃好了，只希望大哥若有朝一日进阶洞玄，能杀了这老妖物，为我报仇小妹就感激不尽了。”红叶有些凄婉的说。
Seeing her silhouette disappear, Lin Xuan narrowed his eyes. He wasn't as noble and righteous as he appeared; if Mo'er, Peacock, or Qinxin had been in need, he would have willingly faced any enemy to buy them time for safe departure.
“ xiǎo mèi ， mí de hǎo yì wèi xiōng xīn lǐng le ， kě xiàn zài jí shǐ wǒ men fēn kāi ， yě wéi shí yǐ wǎn 。” lín xuān de liǎn shàng mǎn shì kǔ xiào zhī sè 。
“小妹，弥的好意为兄心领了，可现在即使我们分开，也为时已晚。”林轩的脸上满是苦笑之色。
But Fairy Red Leaf? They barely knew each other. She was just a convenient sister figure—Lin Xuan wouldn't sacrifice himself for her. He wasn't a fool; his choice stemmed from other reasons.
Subsequently, he cast a spell with one hand. The palm emitted flashes of spirit grains, but soon, the old devil's expression turned grim as a cold laugh echoed in his ears.
"Good, good, you actually managed to cover up my mark left behind with spiritual energy. A mere Core Formation cultivator wouldn't have such strength; it must be that Lin Xuan brat," he said. "But do you think this will let you escape the old ancestor's pursuit? Too naive."
