zhè zhǒng qíng kuàng xià ， míng zhé bǎo shēn jué bù néng shuō yǒu cuò ， xiāng fǎn ， qì cái shì zuì wèi cōng míng de xuǎn zé 。
这种情况下，明哲保身绝不能说有错，相反，泣才是最为聪明的选择。
In this situation, self-preservation was the wisest choice. However, Red Leaf Fairy found herself in a very awkward position.
rán ér hóng yè xiān zi de chǔ jìng kě jiù fēi cháng gān gà le 。
然而红叶仙子的处境可就非常尴尬了。
Fiyue Iblu had left her behind, how should she handle it? Should she run away?
xiān mù yī lán xié dǐ mǒ yóu ， rēng xià tā yí gè ruò zhì nǚ zǐ gāi zěn me bàn ne ！
纤幕伊蓝鞋底抹油，扔下她一个弱质女子该怎么办呢！
It seemed to be the only option, but compared to Fiyue Iblu's speed of evasive light, she was far slower. Compared to an old monster at the Profound Abyss stage, there was no comparison in terms of speed; running would ultimately result in her being caught.
yě pǎo ？
也跑？
She knew her own situation well—facing such a powerful old monster, she had no chance to fight back.
sì hū zhè shì wéi yī de xuǎn zé ， kě lùn dùn guāng sù dù ， yǔ xiān mù yī lán què xiāng chā shèn yuǎn ， tóng dòng xuán qī lǎo guài wù xiāng bǐ ， nà gèng bú shì yí gè shù liàng jí ， táo pǎo de jié guǒ ， zuì zhōng hái shì huì bèi zhuō zhù 。
似乎这是唯一的选择，可论遁光速度，与纤幕伊蓝却相差甚远，同洞玄期老怪物相比，那更不是一个数量级，逃跑的结果，最终还是会被捉住。
A look of sorrow and anger flashed across Red Leaf Fairy's face. But what could she do now?
zì jǐ de qíng kuàng zì jǐ qīng chǔ ， miàn duì dòng xuán qī lǎo guài wù ， kě shì sī háo huán shǒu zhī lì yě wú 。
自己的情况自己清楚，面对洞玄期老怪物，可是丝毫还手之力也无。
Even ants try to survive. Knowing that running was useless, she didn't want to sit idly by either. She gritted her teeth, put away the sorrow and shock on her face, and flew forward.
hóng yè xiān zi de liǎn shàng shǎn guò yī sī bēi fèn zhī sè ， kě shì dào rú jīn ， tā yòu néng zěn me bàn ne ？
红叶仙子的脸上闪过一丝悲愤之色，可事到如今，她又能怎么办呢？
"Looks like I underestimated Fiyue Iblu," Lin Xuan sighed. He had originally planned to profit from their conflict, but now it seemed there was no such opportunity.
lóu yǐ shàng qiě tōu shēng ， míng zhī dào táo pǎo méi yǒu yòng chǔ ， kě zuò yǐ dài bì gèng shì tā jué bù yuàn de xuǎn zé ， yǎo le yǎo bèi chǐ ， cǐ nǚ shōu qǐ liǎn shàng de bēi fèn yǔ jīng è ， xiàng zhe qián fāng fēi lüè ér qù le 。
蝼蚁尚且偷生，明知道逃跑没有用处，可坐以待毙更是她绝不愿的选择，咬了咬贝齿，此女收起脸上的悲愤与惊愕，向着前方飞掠而去了。
Facing this old monster alone, although he wasn't afraid of Black Yang Ancestor, he didn't want to risk his life for a fight without sufficient benefits. However, Lin Xuan liked to see things through; giving up halfway was not his style. He couldn't just leave Red Leaf Fairy behind.
“ xiān mù yī lán nà jiā huo ， kàn lái lín mǒu dǎo shì yǒu xiē xiǎo kàn tā le 。”
“纤幕伊蓝那家伙，看来林某倒是有些小看他了。”
What should he do?
lín xuān tàn le kǒu qì ， yuán běn hái xiǎng yào hé bàng xiāng zhēng ， yú wēng dé lì ， xiàn zài kàn lái ， shì méi yǒu zhè ge jī huì dì 。
林轩叹了口气，原本还想要河蚌相争，渔翁得利，现在看来，是没有这个机会地。
Lin Xuan fell into contemplation.
dān dǎ dú dòu ， lín xuān suī rán bìng bù wèi jù hēi yáng lǎo zǔ ， dàn méi yǒu zú gòu de hǎo chù ， yě bù xiǎng yǔ yī dòng xuán jí bié de lǎo guài wù yǐ mìng xiàng bó 。
单打独斗，林轩虽然并不畏惧黑阳老祖，但没有足够的好处，也不想与一洞玄级别的老怪物以命相搏。
But with his rich experience in magical battles, an idea quickly flashed across his mind.
dàn lín xuān zuò shì qíng ， xǐ huān yǒu shǐ yǒu zhōng ， bàn tú ér fèi bú shì tā de fēng gé ， zhè shí hòu zhì hóng yè xiān zi yǔ bù gù ， zhè yàng de shì qíng ， lín xuān hái shì yǒu xiē zuò bù chū 。
但林轩做事情，喜欢有始有终，半途而废不是他的风格，这时候置红叶仙子与不顾，这样的事情，林轩还是有些做不出。
This plan wouldn’t work on its own, but if he deliberately drew the old monster's attention to himself, it might allow Fiyue Iblu to slip past unnoticed. He smiled and said, "Fiyue, don't worry, I have a plan."
gāi zěn me bàn ne ？
该怎么办呢？
"But how will you escape?" Red Leaf Fairy was shocked, filled with gratitude as she realized Lin Xuan intended to sacrifice himself.
lín xuān yě xiàn rù le chóu chú 。
林轩也陷入了踌躇。
"Relax, I've got it under control. Just hide well," he reassured her. With no time for further discussion, he focused on adjusting his aura to match Fiyue Iblu's.
bù guò tā dòu fǎ de jīng yàn bì jìng fēng fù ， nǎo hǎi zhōng líng guāng shǎn guò ， hěn kuài ， yě xiǎng dào le jiě jué zhī cè 。
不过他斗法的经验毕竟丰富，脑海中灵光闪过，很快，也想到了解决之策。
Of course, perfect mimicry was impossible, but a close enough approximation might work. As the saying goes: "When in doubt, act confidently."
zhè ge fāng fǎ yǒu xiē mào xiǎn ， bù guò ， lín xuān hái shì yǒu bǎ wò 。
这个方法有些冒险，不过，林轩还是有把握。
Lin Xuan's body glowed with green light as he flew towards where Fiyue Iblu had escaped. He didn't want to face such an enemy alone; if possible, he would drag her into it.
shì bù yí chí ， tā lì kè huà wèi yī dào jīng hóng xiàng hóng yè xiān zi fēi qù 。
事不宜迟，他立刻化为一道惊虹像红叶仙子飞去。
Meanwhile, several thousand miles away, a dark aura streaked through the sky at incredible speed. Even low-level cultivators struggled to see its movement.
liǎng rén xiāng jù yuán běn jiù zhǐ yǒu shù lǐ ， lín xuān dùn guāng de sù dù nà shì jué bù yòng huái yí ， hòu fā xiān zhì ， guāng yùn yī shǎn ， hěn kuài jiù chū xiàn zài le hóng yè xiān zi de qián miàn 。
两人相距原本就只有数里，林轩遁光的速度那是绝不用怀疑，后发先至，光晕一闪，很快就出现在了红叶仙子的前面。
It was undoubtedly Black Yang Demon, who could easily outstrip human speed with his evasive light.
cǐ nǚ dà jīng shī sè ， hái yǐ wéi shì nà lǎo guài wù zhuī lái le zěn me bǐ zì jǐ xiǎng xiàng de ， hái yào kuài shàng xǔ duō ， rán ér dìng jīng zǐ xì yī kàn ， què chēng mù jié shé ， zhuǎn yōu wéi xǐ le ：“ dà gē 。”
此女大惊失色，还以为是那老怪物追来了怎么比自己想象的，还要快上许多，然而定睛仔细一看，却瞠目结舌，转忧为喜了：“大哥。”
"Surprised they split up? No, one of them changed their aura slightly; trying to fool me? Too naive," Black Yang Demon muttered sarcastically.
“ shén me dōu bú yào duō shuō ， chēng gēn wǒ zǒu 。”
“什么都不要多说，称跟我走。”
"But now both are heading in the same direction—what do these two want?" he grumbled. "No use, my secret technique on Tian Hao will ensure you can't escape."
“ ń 。”
“嗯。”
With a burst of dark energy, he continued his pursuit.
hóng yè xiān zi guāi qiǎo de diǎn le diǎn tóu ， tā yǔ lín xuān ， suī shuō bù shàng yǒu duō me shēn hòu de gǎn qíng jī chǔ bù guò duì yú zhè wèi pián yi dà gē ， hóng yè hái shì fēi cháng xìn rèn de ， bì jìng shàng cì miàn duì dú lóng lǎo zǔ ， lín xuān bìng méi yǒu diū xià tā yí gè ， shèn zhì hái shě shēn dǎng xià qiáng dí ， cóng zhè yì diǎn lái shuō ， dà gē de pǐn xíng ， shì fēi cháng gāo jié de yuǎn bú shì gāng gāng nà kuā kuā qí tán de jiā huo kě bǐ 。
红叶仙子乖巧的点了点头，她与林轩，虽说不上有多么深厚的感情基础不过对于这位便宜大哥，红叶还是非常信任的，毕竟上次面对毒龙老祖，林轩并没有丢下她一个，甚至还舍身挡下强敌，从这一点来说，大哥的品行，是非常高洁的远不是刚刚那夸夸其谈的家伙可比。
Fiyue Iblu's strength was far superior to that of her peers, but her evasive light was still slower than Lin Xuan’s and couldn’t match the speed of an old monster at the Profound Abyss stage.
cǐ shí yǔ dà gē xiāng yù ， zhēn de shì yì wài fá xǐ ， bù guò hóng yè yě zhī dào qíng kuàng jǐn jí ， bìng méi yǒu kāi kǒu duō wèn shén me 。
此时与大哥相遇，真的是意外乏喜，不过红叶也知道情况紧急，并没有开口多问什么。
Lin Xuan had no intention of hiding his power. Fiyue Iblu noticed something amiss; Red Leaf Fairy had caught up with them.
guāi guāi de gēn zhe dà gē ， lái dào le lín xuān gāng gāng de cáng shēn zhī suǒ 。
乖乖的跟着大哥，来到了林轩刚刚的藏身之所。
How could that be?
“ mí duǒ zài cǐ chù ， shōu liǎn qì xī ， jǐn liàng bú yào wài xiè rèn hé líng lì 。”
“弥躲在此处，收敛气息，尽量不要外泄任何灵力。”
Though he admired beauty, he was a stranger to her, so in danger, he had no qualms about leaving her behind. Fiyue Iblu didn't see anything wrong with this; a man of honor should never place himself in danger for a woman.
“ dà gē méi yòng de ， xiǎo mèi suī rán yě huì liǎn qì zhī shù ， dàn kǒng pà mán bù guò dòng xuán qī xiū xiān zhě 。”， hóng yè xiān zi kǔ xiào zhe shuō ， lín xuān de yì tú tā yǐ xīn zhōng yǒu shù ， rán ér què bù rèn wéi zhè shì yí gè cōng míng de xuǎn zé dòng xuán qī lǎo guài de shén shí ， qiáng dà wú bǐ ， píng zì jǐ de zhè diǎn xiǎo jì liǎng xiǎng yào mán guò qù ， nà jiǎn zhí yǔ chī rén shuō mèng wú yí 。
“大哥没用的，小妹虽然也会敛气之术，但恐怕瞒不过洞玄期修仙者。”，红叶仙子苦笑着说，林轩的意图她已心中有数，然而却不认为这是一个聪明的选择洞玄期老怪的神识，强大无比，凭自己的这点小伎俩想要瞒过去，那简直与痴人说梦无疑。
Despite his showy demeanor as a cultivator, Fiyue Iblu was actually quite calculating. He reasoned that Red Leaf Fairy's speed was slightly slower, giving him more time to escape if he focused on her first.
“ dān píng mí zì rán shì wú fǎ mán guò qù ， bù guò ruò yǒu wǒ ， gù yì yǐn kāi nà lǎo guài wù ， ràng tā jiāng zhù yì lì ， jí zhōng dào wǒ shēn shàng ， nà me jiù yǒu kě néng jiāng chēng lòu guò qù 。” lín xuān wēi xiào de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ 。
“单凭弥自然是无法瞒过去，不过若有我，故意引开那老怪物，让他将注意力，集中到我身上，那么就有可能将称漏过去。”林轩微笑的声音传入耳朵。
This boy had sharp and ruthless thoughts indeed.
“ kě shì dà gē ， zhè yàng zuò ， nǐ yòu gāi zěn me tuō shēn ne ？”， hóng yè xiān zi dà jīng shī sè ， liǎn shàng mǎn shì gǎn dòng zhī yì ， méi xiǎng dào lín xuān jū rán shì xiǎng yào xī shēng zì jǐ 。
“可是大哥，这样做，你又该怎么脱身呢？”，红叶仙子大惊失色，脸上满是感动之意，没想到林轩居然是想要牺牲自己。
Unfortunately, plans are made by man but success depends on heaven. His plan might have worked, but it met with Lin Xuan’s interference.
“ fàng xīn ， wǒ xīn lǐ yǒu shù ， mí guāi guāi de cáng hǎo 。”
“放心，我心里有数，弥乖乖的藏好。”
Fiyue Iblu's expression turned grim as he realized the cultivator behind him wasn't Red Leaf Fairy.
dāng duàn bù duàn ， fǎn shòu qí luàn ， zhè shí hòu qíng kuàng wēi jí ， yào de jiù shì kuài dāo zhǎn luàn má de yǒng qì ， lín xuān kě méi yǒu shí jiān yǔ hóng yè xiān zi zài zhè ér mó jī ， dī shēng fēn fù de yī jù ， suí hòu xī le kǒu qì ， kāi shǐ tiáo jié zì jǐ de qì xī ， jǐn liàng mó fǎng hóng yè xiān zi suǒ yì sàn chū lái de líng lì 。
当断不断，反受其乱，这时候情况危急，要的就是快刀斩乱麻的勇气，林轩可没有时间与红叶仙子在这儿磨叽，低声吩咐的一句，随后吸了口气，开始调节自己的气息，尽量模仿红叶仙子所逸散出来的灵力。
Who was this person?
dāng rán ， cāng chǔ zhī jiān ， xiǎng yào mó fǎng dé wéi miào wéi xiào ， nà shì bù kě néng dì ， bù guò sì shì ér fēi wèi bì méi yǒu hǎo chù ， sú huà shuō ， xū zé shí zhī ， shí zé xū zhī 。
当然，仓储之间，想要模仿得惟妙惟肖，那是不可能地，不过似是而非未必没有好处，俗话说，虚则实之，实则虚之。
What had caused such a change?
lín xuān hún shēn qīng máng dà qǐ ， xiàng zhe xiān mù yī lán táo zǒu de fāng xiàng fēi qù ， lín xuān kě méi yǒu xìng qù yí gè rén dǐ yù qiáng dí ， yǒu jī huì ， dāng rán yào lā qiàn mù yī lán xià shuǐ 。
林轩浑身青芒大起，向着纤幕伊蓝逃走的方向飞去，林轩可没有兴趣一个人抵御强敌，有机会，当然要拉纤幕伊蓝下水。
He was uncertain and puzzled.
yǔ cǐ tóng shí ， shù qiān lǐ zhī wài ， yī dào wū guāng fēng chí diàn chè ， sù dù zhī kuài ， jiǎn zhí ràng rén chēng mù jié shé ， xiū wèi dī diǎn de xiū xiān zhě ， shèn zhì lián kàn dōu kàn bù qīng chǔ 。
与此同时，数千里之外，一道乌光风驰电掣，速度之快，简直让人瞠目结舌，修为低点的修仙者，甚至连看都看不清楚。
But there was no time for further thoughts. He gritted his teeth, making his evasive light even faster. However, it was impossible to shake Lin Xuan off.
bú yòng shuō ， zì rán shì shā yáng lǎo mó ， zuò wéi dòng xuán qī xiū xiān zhě ， zhè dùn guāng sù dù ， dāng rán yuǎn fēi cháng rén kě bǐ de 。
不用说，自然是煞阳老魔，作为洞玄期修仙者，这遁光速度，当然远非常人可比的。
Soon, he felt another powerful aura approaching from the distance like an insidious shadow.
“ yí ， jū rán fēn kāi pǎo le ， bú duì ， qí zhōng yī rén ， qì xī gǎi biàn le shǎo xǔ ， zěn me zhe ， mò fēi shì xiǎng yào hùn xiáo lǎo fū de ěr mù ， tài tiān zhēn le 。” shā yáng lǎo mó nán nán zì yǔ de shuō ， zuǐ jiǎo biān ， dài zhe jǐ fēn jī cháo zhī sè 。
“咦，居然分开跑了，不对，其中一人，气息改变了少许，怎么着，莫非是想要混淆老夫的耳目，太天真了。”煞阳老魔喃喃自语的说，嘴角边，带着几分讥嘲之色。
Black Yang Demon!
“ bú duì ， liǎng rén de fāng xiàng yòu yí zhì le ， zhè liǎng gè jiā huo ， jiū jìng xiǎng yào wán shén me yīn móu ，“ hēng ， méi yǒu yòng chǔ ， tōng guò xià zài tiān háo shēn shàng de mì shù ， nǐ men jiù shì táo dào tiān biān ， yě duǒ bù kāi wǒ de zhuī suǒ 。”， shā yáng lǎo mó lěng xiào zhe shuō ， suí hòu hún shēn yīn qì pēn bó ， huà wèi yī dào wū guāng ， jì xù zhuī shàng qù le 。
“不对，两人的方向又一致了，这两个家伙，究竟想要玩什么阴谋，“哼，没有用处，通过下在天豪身上的秘术，你们就是逃到天边，也躲不开我的追索。”，煞阳老魔冷笑着说，随后浑身阴气喷薄，化为一道乌光，继续追上去了。
Indeed, misfortune comes in threes. Fiyue Iblu's expression turned grim but there was no point in feeling depressed now.
xiān mù yī lán de shí lì ， gù rán yuǎn chāo tóng jiē xiū xiān zhě ， dàn lùn dùn guāng de sù dù ， hái shì bù jí lín xuān de ， gèng jiā bǐ bù shàng dòng xuán qī xiū xiān zhě 。
纤幕伊蓝的实力，固然远超同阶修仙者，但论遁光的速度，还是不及林轩的，更加比不上洞玄期修仙者。
He shouldn't have meddled; but regret is not sold in the cultivation world.
cǐ shí cǐ kè ， lín xuān méi yǒu yǐn cáng xiū wèi de yì tú ， xiān mù yī lán jiàn jiàn fā xiàn le bù tuǒ ， hóng yè jū rán suí hòu zhuī shàng lái le 。
此时此刻，林轩没有隐藏修为的意图，纤幕伊蓝渐渐发现了不妥，红叶居然随后追上来了。
His mind raced as his evasive light suddenly stopped. He decided to face it head-on since he couldn’t escape anyway.
zhè zěn me kě néng ne ？
这怎么可能呢？
Lin Xuan sensed this immediately.
tā suī rán lián xiāng xī yù ， dàn bì jìng zhǐ shì yī mò shēng de měi nǚ ， gù ér yù jiàn wēi xiǎn ， guǒ duàn de jiāng tā shě qì ， xiān mù yī lán bìng bù jué dé zì jǐ zhè me zuò ， yǒu shén me bù tuǒ ， dà zhàng fū dǐng tiān lì dì ， wèi yī nǚ zǐ ， jiāng zì jǐ zhì yú wēi xiǎn zhī dì ， nà yàng de rén ， cái shì yú chǔn zhī jí 。
他虽然怜香惜玉，但毕竟只是一陌生的美女，故而遇见危险，果断的将她舍弃，纤幕伊蓝并不觉得自己这么做，有什么不妥，大丈夫顶天立地，为一女子，将自己置于危险之地，那样的人，才是愚蠢之极。
"Hmph, finally, he’s not running anymore."
xiān mù yī lán suī shì kǒu huāhuā de xiū xiān zhě ， dàn nà zhǐ shì biǎo xiàng bà le ， zhè jiā huo ， qí shí hěn jīng yú suàn jì 。
纤幕伊蓝虽是口huāhuā的修仙者，但那只是表象罢了，这家伙，其实很精于算计。
The distance between them was now only a hundred miles or so. With his Daoist techniques, the chase would last mere breaths. But Lin Xuan had a new plan.
yǔ zì jǐ xiāng bǐ ， hóng yè dùn guāng de sù dù yào màn yī xiē ， yú qíng yú lǐ ， shā yáng lǎo mó dū huì xiān zhǎo tā bào fù ， zhè yàng wú xíng zhōng ， yòu wèi zì jǐ zhēng qǔ le yī xiē shí jiān táo tuō 。
与自己相比，红叶遁光的速度要慢一些，于情于理，煞阳老魔都会先找她报复，这样无形中，又为自己争取了一些时间逃脱。
Red Leaf Fairy had already escaped; could he change direction and run in another? If he pursued him, they could meet up with Fiyue Iblu later—more accurately, to cause trouble for her.
miàn duì dòng xuán qī lǎo guài wù ， zhè jiā huo bù jǐn jiāng hóng yè dàng chéng le qì zi ， ér qiě hái lián dài zhe suàn jì 。
面对洞玄期老怪物，这家伙不仅将红叶当成了弃子，而且还连带着算计。
If he didn't pursue, he would act as circumstances dictated. Fiyue Iblu was no weakling; facing a Profound Abyss stage cultivator, Lin Xuan had the chance to profit from the chaos.
cǐ zi rǎn xīn sī ， yě suàn hěn là wú bǐ 。
此子苒心思，也算狠辣无比。
With this thought, Lin Xuan changed direction and shot off in another direction.
kě xī móu shì zài rén ， chéng shì zài tiān ， jì huà yuán běn shì méi cuò ， piān piān què yù jiàn le lín xuān zhè jiǎo jú zhě 。
可惜谋事在人，成事在天，计划原本是没错，偏偏却遇见了林轩这搅局者。
"Splitting up again?" Black Yang Demon was confused but had his own plan.
cǐ shí xiān mù yī lán de liǎn shàng mǎn shì níng zhòng zhī sè ， tā yě fēn biàn chū hòu miàn xiū xiān zhě de líng lì bō dòng yǔ hóng yè bù tóng 。
此时纤幕伊蓝的脸上满是凝重之色，他也分辨出后面修仙者的灵力波动与红叶不同。
He sneered, ignoring Lin Xuan's intentions, and continued towards Fiyue Iblu.
jiū jìng shì shuí ？
究竟是谁？
This made sense; through a secret technique, he had already identified Fiyue Iblu as the culprit.
zěn me huì chū xiàn zhè yàng de biàn gù ！
怎么会出现这样的变故！
Although he learned the truth from his disciple, it seemed another woman was to blame. But she was only at the Separation stage, so his disciples could handle her.
xiān mù yī lán yǒu xiē jīng yí bù dìng le 。
纤幕伊蓝有些惊疑不定了。
With a wave of his sleeve, a fiery light shot out and danced in the air before disappearing into Lin Xuan's direction.
dàn cǐ shí cǐ kè ， dāng rán méi yǒu shí jiān duō xiǎng shén me ， tā yī yǎo yá ， dùn guāng biàn dé yuè fā de xùn sù ， rán ér xiǎng yào jiāng lín xuān bǎi tuō ， nà dāng rán shì wán quán bù kě néng de 。
但此时此刻，当然没有时间多想什么，他一咬牙，遁光变得越发的迅速，然而想要将林轩摆脱，那当然是完全不可能的。
This magical symbol would ensure they wouldn't escape.
bù jǐn rú cǐ ， hěn kuài ， tā hái gǎn jué dōu le lìng yī gǔ qiáng dà de qì xī ， yóu yuǎn jí jìn ， rú fū gǔ zhī qū yī yàng ， láo láo jiāng zì jǐ suǒ zhù 。
不仅如此，很快，他还感觉都了另一股强大的气息，由远及近，如跗骨之蛆一样，牢牢将自己锁住。
On the other side, Fiyue Iblu remained clueless. He felt the cultivator had left but Black Yang Demon still targeted him.
shā yáng lǎo mó ！
煞阳老魔！
He sensed he was being manipulated by someone.
zhēn shì fú wú shuāng zhì ， huò bù dān xíng ， xiān mù yī lán de biǎo qíng nán kàn wú bǐ ， dàn dào le zhè yī bù ， yù mèn yě méi yǒu yì yì 。
真是福无双至，祸不单行，纤幕伊蓝的表情难看无比，但到了这一步，郁闷也没有意义。
But there was no time to think now; a few hundred miles for an ordinary person might be unattainable, but in their world, it was just a moment.
zǎo zhī rú cǐ ， jiù bù yīng gāi duō guǎn xián shì ， rán ér xiū xiān jiè ， tóng yàng shì méi yǒu hòu huǐ yào mài dì 。
早知如此，就不应该多管闲事，然而修仙界，同样是没有后悔药卖地。
Soon, a dark streak of light appeared on the horizon and flashed closer. The aura vanished as an old man in black robes stood before him.
nǎo hǎi zhōng niàn tou kuáng shǎn ， xiān mù yī lán de dùn guāng tū rán tíng le xià lái ， zhè jiā huo ， yě shì yī hěn guǒ jué de rén wù ， míng zhī dào táo bù tuō ， nà gān cuì jiù xuǎn zé miàn duì le 。
脑海中念头狂闪，纤幕伊蓝的遁光突然停了下来，这家伙，也是一很果决的人物，明知道逃不脱，那干脆就选择面对了。
His face was filled with a sinister expression, accompanied by a terrifying pressure that descended from above.
lín xuān yě zài dì yī shí jiān gǎn jué dào le 。
林轩也在第一时间感觉到了。
The sky had turned gloomy, and fierce winds whipped up waves like a storm was about to break.
“ hēng ， zhè jiā huo ， zhōng yú bù pǎo le 。”
“哼，这家伙，终于不跑了。”
Such power would have terrified even a Separation stage cultivator, but Fiyue Iblu's eyes narrowed. He wasn't an ordinary person.
cǐ shí ， liǎng rén xiāng jù ， bù guò bǎi yú lǐ ， yǐ tā de xiāo shù ， yě jiù jǐ gè hū xī ， rán ér lín xuān xīn zhōng què yǒu le xīn de zhǔ yì 。
此时，两人相距，不过百余里，以他的逍术，也就几个呼吸，然而林轩心中却有了新的主意。
He had faced old monsters at the Profound Abyss stage before; no amount of pressure could make him submit.
In this situation, self-preservation was the wisest choice. However, Red Leaf Fairy found herself in a very awkward position.
Fiyue Iblu had left her behind, how should she handle it? Should she run away?
It seemed to be the only option, but compared to Fiyue Iblu's speed of evasive light, she was far slower. Compared to an old monster at the Profound Abyss stage, there was no comparison in terms of speed; running would ultimately result in her being caught.
She knew her own situation well—facing such a powerful old monster, she had no chance to fight back.
A look of sorrow and anger flashed across Red Leaf Fairy's face. But what could she do now?
Even ants try to survive. Knowing that running was useless, she didn't want to sit idly by either. She gritted her teeth, put away the sorrow and shock on her face, and flew forward.
"Looks like I underestimated Fiyue Iblu," Lin Xuan sighed. He had originally planned to profit from their conflict, but now it seemed there was no such opportunity.
Facing this old monster alone, although he wasn't afraid of Black Yang Ancestor, he didn't want to risk his life for a fight without sufficient benefits. However, Lin Xuan liked to see things through; giving up halfway was not his style. He couldn't just leave Red Leaf Fairy behind.
What should he do?
Lin Xuan fell into contemplation.
But with his rich experience in magical battles, an idea quickly flashed across his mind.
This plan wouldn’t work on its own, but if he deliberately drew the old monster's attention to himself, it might allow Fiyue Iblu to slip past unnoticed. He smiled and said, "Fiyue, don't worry, I have a plan."
"But how will you escape?" Red Leaf Fairy was shocked, filled with gratitude as she realized Lin Xuan intended to sacrifice himself.
"Relax, I've got it under control. Just hide well," he reassured her. With no time for further discussion, he focused on adjusting his aura to match Fiyue Iblu's.
Of course, perfect mimicry was impossible, but a close enough approximation might work. As the saying goes: "When in doubt, act confidently."
Lin Xuan's body glowed with green light as he flew towards where Fiyue Iblu had escaped. He didn't want to face such an enemy alone; if possible, he would drag her into it.
Meanwhile, several thousand miles away, a dark aura streaked through the sky at incredible speed. Even low-level cultivators struggled to see its movement.
It was undoubtedly Black Yang Demon, who could easily outstrip human speed with his evasive light.
"Surprised they split up? No, one of them changed their aura slightly; trying to fool me? Too naive," Black Yang Demon muttered sarcastically.
"But now both are heading in the same direction—what do these two want?" he grumbled. "No use, my secret technique on Tian Hao will ensure you can't escape."
With a burst of dark energy, he continued his pursuit.
Fiyue Iblu's strength was far superior to that of her peers, but her evasive light was still slower than Lin Xuan’s and couldn’t match the speed of an old monster at the Profound Abyss stage.
Lin Xuan had no intention of hiding his power. Fiyue Iblu noticed something amiss; Red Leaf Fairy had caught up with them.
How could that be?
Though he admired beauty, he was a stranger to her, so in danger, he had no qualms about leaving her behind. Fiyue Iblu didn't see anything wrong with this; a man of honor should never place himself in danger for a woman.
Despite his showy demeanor as a cultivator, Fiyue Iblu was actually quite calculating. He reasoned that Red Leaf Fairy's speed was slightly slower, giving him more time to escape if he focused on her first.
This boy had sharp and ruthless thoughts indeed.
Unfortunately, plans are made by man but success depends on heaven. His plan might have worked, but it met with Lin Xuan’s interference.
Fiyue Iblu's expression turned grim as he realized the cultivator behind him wasn't Red Leaf Fairy.
Who was this person?
What had caused such a change?
He was uncertain and puzzled.
But there was no time for further thoughts. He gritted his teeth, making his evasive light even faster. However, it was impossible to shake Lin Xuan off.
Soon, he felt another powerful aura approaching from the distance like an insidious shadow.
Black Yang Demon!
Indeed, misfortune comes in threes. Fiyue Iblu's expression turned grim but there was no point in feeling depressed now.
He shouldn't have meddled; but regret is not sold in the cultivation world.
His mind raced as his evasive light suddenly stopped. He decided to face it head-on since he couldn’t escape anyway.
Lin Xuan sensed this immediately.
"Hmph, finally, he’s not running anymore."
The distance between them was now only a hundred miles or so. With his Daoist techniques, the chase would last mere breaths. But Lin Xuan had a new plan.
Red Leaf Fairy had already escaped; could he change direction and run in another? If he pursued him, they could meet up with Fiyue Iblu later—more accurately, to cause trouble for her.
If he didn't pursue, he would act as circumstances dictated. Fiyue Iblu was no weakling; facing a Profound Abyss stage cultivator, Lin Xuan had the chance to profit from the chaos.
With this thought, Lin Xuan changed direction and shot off in another direction.
"Splitting up again?" Black Yang Demon was confused but had his own plan.
He sneered, ignoring Lin Xuan's intentions, and continued towards Fiyue Iblu.
This made sense; through a secret technique, he had already identified Fiyue Iblu as the culprit.
Although he learned the truth from his disciple, it seemed another woman was to blame. But she was only at the Separation stage, so his disciples could handle her.
With a wave of his sleeve, a fiery light shot out and danced in the air before disappearing into Lin Xuan's direction.
This magical symbol would ensure they wouldn't escape.
On the other side, Fiyue Iblu remained clueless. He felt the cultivator had left but Black Yang Demon still targeted him.
He sensed he was being manipulated by someone.
But there was no time to think now; a few hundred miles for an ordinary person might be unattainable, but in their world, it was just a moment.
Soon, a dark streak of light appeared on the horizon and flashed closer. The aura vanished as an old man in black robes stood before him.
His face was filled with a sinister expression, accompanied by a terrifying pressure that descended from above.
The sky had turned gloomy, and fierce winds whipped up waves like a storm was about to break.
Such power would have terrified even a Separation stage cultivator, but Fiyue Iblu's eyes narrowed. He wasn't an ordinary person.
He had faced old monsters at the Profound Abyss stage before; no amount of pressure could make him submit.
