第一千八百九十章不到黄河心不死
Chapter 1890: Not Seeing the Yellow River, One's Will Does Not Die
“ jǐ wèi dào yǒu ， nǐ men kě xiǎng hǎo le ？” lín xuān tái tóu wàng le yī yǎn yuǎn chù ， huǎn huǎn de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ 。
“几位道友，你们可想好了？”林轩抬头望了一眼远处，缓缓的声音传入耳朵。
"Companions in cultivation, have you all made your minds up?" Lin Xuan looked towards the distance with a slow and steady voice.
“ nà hái yòng shuō ， shēng sǐ gè ān tiān mìng ， zhè zhǒng shí hòu zhǐ yǒu pīn yī pīn 。” zhū gě tiān yuán tàn le kǒu qì ， qí tā jǐ rén yě wú yì tuì bì 。
“那还用说，生死各安天命，这种时候只有拼一拼。”诸葛天元叹了口气，其他几人也无意退避。
"Of course not. We'll face our fates, no matter what," Master Tiantian Yuan sighed. The others had no intention of retreating either.
rú guǒ shuō ， tīng le lín xuān de kǒu shù ， tā men duì yīn hún de cún zài hái yǒu jǐ fēn huái yí ， nà me gāng gāng de jīng biàn ， zé jiāng zuì hòu yī sī jiǎo xìng yě dǎ xiāo le 。
如果说，听了林轩的口述，他们对yīn魂的存在还有几分怀疑，那么刚刚的惊变，则将最后一丝侥幸也打消了。
If they still harbored doubts about yin souls after hearing Lin Xuan's recounting, their fears were dispelled by the sudden crisis that followed.
liú zài zhè lǐ bì sǐ wú yí ， tā men dāng rán huì xuǎn zé jìn rù kōng jiān liè fèng lǐ 。
留在这里必死无疑，他们当然会选择进入空间裂缝里。
They would surely die if they stayed here; thus, entering the spatial rift was their only choice.
lín xuān liǎn shàng lù chū mǎn yì zhī zì jǐ guǒ rán méi yǒu kàn cuò ， zhè sì rén gé suī gè bù xiāng tóng ， dàn dōu méi yǒu dǎn xiǎo guǐ 。
林轩脸上lù出满意之自己果然没有看错，这四人格虽各不相同，但都没有胆小鬼。
Lin Xuan's face showed satisfaction. He had indeed made the right judgment. Though these four individuals were different from each other, none of them were cowards.
“ gè ān tiān mìng ， nà dào bù bì ， zhè zhǒng kōng jiān fèng xì ， bì jìng zhǐ shì duǎn jù lí ， jí biàn yǒu shén me wēi xiǎn ， lín xuān yě yǒu xìn xīn píng ān dù guò ， jiù dài nǐ yī chéng hǎo le 。” lín xuān wēi xiào zhe shuō 。
“各安天命，那倒不必，这种空间缝隙，毕竟只是短距离，即便有什么危险，林轩也有信心平安度过，就带你一程好了。”林轩微笑着说。
"Let fate take its course for us all," Lin Xuan said with a smile. "There's no need to worry about that. These spatial rifts are short-range at best. Even if there is danger, I have confidence in making it through safely. Let me escort you."
“ qián bèi ， nín shuō zhēn de ？”
“前辈，您说真的？”
"Senior, are you serious?"
sì rén bù yóu de dà xǐ ， duì lín xuān gèng shì gǎn jī。
四人不由得大喜，对林轩更是感jī。
The four of them were overjoyed and felt even more grateful towards Lin Xuan.
“ wǒ piàn nǐ men yǒu hé yì yì ？”
“我骗你们有何意义？”
"Why would lying to you be meaningful? You saved my life, so this is just a small favor," Lin Xuan said with a nod.
lín xuān xiǎn de xìn xīn shí zú ， tā men rú jīn yǐ shì gāo jiē xiū xiān zhě ， duì kōng jiān fèng xì bìng fēi yī wú suǒ zhī ， zhè zhǒng dōng xī ， yì bān lái shuō ， chuán sòng jù lí yuè yuǎn ， xiāng duì lái shuō ， wēi xiǎn yě jiù yuè dà ， fǎn zhī yì rán 。
林轩显得信心十足，他们如今已是高阶修仙者，对空间缝隙并非一无所知，这种东西，一般来说，传送距离越远，相对来说，危险也就越大，反之亦然。
Soon after, the five of them released their divine senses to determine their location. Yellow Court Sect率先抬起头，脸上露出惊喜之色，向前飞去。林轩一愣，燕山四友中的其他三人也有些茫然，但对方这么做肯定有原因，四人也不急着询问什么，浑身青芒一起，随后跟了上去。
zhǐ shì cóng zhè ge dǎo yǔ táo lí ， lín xuān hái shì yǒu nà me jǐ fēn bǎ wò dì 。
只是从这个岛屿逃离，林轩还是有那么几分把握地。
茶盏的时间很快过去，一座小岛出现在他们视线中，灵气稀薄，却有一个凡人的村落，大约几百人左右。
“ nǐ men guò lái ， kào jǐn wǒ shēn biān 。”
“你们过来，靠紧我身边。”
林轩略感惊讶。这样的地方居然还能有凡人存活。
yān shān sì yǒu tīng le ， sī háo yì yì yě wú ， máng shēn xíng yī shǎn ， xiàng zhe lín xuān jù lǒng guò lái 。
燕山四友听了，丝毫异议也无，忙身形一闪，向着林轩聚拢过来。
不过稍作思索后也就释然了。虽然三族凶恶，但一般修仙者的争斗很少牵连到凡人。作为能够移山填海的修仙者，除非心里有问题，否则欺负凡人没有意义。
lín xuān yě bù dān gē ， xiù páo yī fú ， yī dào guāng xiá fēi lüè ér chū ， jǐ miàn dùn pái yìng rù yǎn lián ， chéng yuán xíng ， zhí jìng jǐn yǒu bàn chǐ ， biǎo miàn uā wén bān bó ， hái yǒu jǐ gè fú wén lòu kè 。
林轩也不耽搁，袖袍一拂，一道光霞飞掠而出，几面盾牌映入眼帘，呈圆形，直径仅有半尺，表面uā纹斑驳，还有几个符文镂刻。
五人并没有隐藏行迹，那些凡人见状大惊失色，又是茫然又是欢喜，还透着畏惧之色，忙扶老携幼地向他们行礼。
chéng tào de bǎo wù ！
成套的宝物！
"Brother, did you come here before?" Fish Miaorong curiously asked.
yān shān sì yǒu zài dù zhèn hàn le yī bǎ ， duì yú lín xuān de xìn xīn yě dà fú dù zēng jiā 。
燕山四友再度震撼了一把，对于林轩的信心也大幅度增加。
"Not just once. I was a cultivator from this small fishing village," Yellow Court Sect said with a touch of sadness.
ér lín xuān dāng rán yě bú huì xuàn yào duō huà ， zhí jiē yòu shǒu tái qǐ ， jǐ dào fǎ jué xiàng qián diǎn le guò qù ， wēng míng shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， jǐ miàn dùn pái fú kōng ér qǐ ， chéng shàn xíng pái liè ， shàng miàn gè zì yǒu líng guāng bó fā ér chū ， lián chéng yī piàn qīng è de guāng mù ， yí gè tài jí tú àn zài shàng miàn liú zhuǎn ， xiǎn de shén mì yǐ jí 。
而林轩当然也不会炫耀多话，直接右手抬起，几道法诀向前点了过去，嗡鸣声传入耳朵，几面盾牌浮空而起，呈扇形排列，上面各自有灵光勃发而出，连成一片青è的光幕，一个太极图案在上面流转，显得神秘以极。
"What? !"
suí hòu lín xuān shēn shàng yě yǒu qīng máng shǎn guò ， yǔ dùn pái de guāng mù liàn chéng yī tǐ ， xiàng zhe kōng jiān fèng xì fēi le jìn qù 。
随后林轩身上也有青芒闪过，与盾牌的光幕炼成一体，向着空间缝隙飞了进去。
Even Lin Xuan was surprised by the answer. The other three were equally stunned. Though the four from Yan Mountain had similar interests, they only knew each other for about a century before that. Each had their own lives and wouldn't share them unless willing to do so.
……
……
Yellow Court Sect being a cultivator who came out of this village seemed too coincidental.
zhè shì yī piàn huāng wú de hǎi yù ， tiān chén wú bǐ ， hǎi miàn shàng bù shí yǒu è juǎn guò ， xiǎn rán cǐ kè ， zhèng guā zhe bào fēng yǔ 。
这是一片荒芜的海域，天沉无比，海面上不时有恶卷过，显然此刻，正刮着暴风雨。
While the others were shocked, Lin Xuan was the first to recover. He looked pleased. "Since this is your friend's hometown, you must know our location here."
tū rán ， kōng jiān yī zhèn niǔ qū ， suí hòu yī dào zhí jìng zhàng xǔ de kōng jiān fèng xì chū xiàn zài shì xiàn lǐ 。
突然，空间一阵扭曲，随后一道直径丈许的空间缝隙出现在视线里。
"Senior, that's correct. I am well aware. The place we are in is only a few days' journey from Red Leaf Sea. If Senior has a map of the sea, I can mark it for you," Yellow Court Sect said.
qīng guāng shǎn guò ， lín xuān dài zhe yān shān sì yǒu xiǎn xíng ér chū 。
青光闪过，林轩带着燕山四友显形而出。
"Thank you, senior."
“ hū ， zhōng yú táo chū lái le 。”
“呼，终于逃出来了。”
"Why be so polite? Your life was saved by me. This small favor is not worth mentioning."
yú miào róng tái shǒu ， mǒ le mǒ hàn dī ， xiǎng qǐ gāng cái de jīng lì ， dōu xīn yǒu yú jì 。
鱼妙容抬手，抹了抹汗滴，想起刚才的经历，都心有余悸。
Lin Xuan nodded and continued with casual conversation. He reached into his waistband and pulled out a jade瞳简, which contained maps of the Red Leaf Sea as well as nearby seas.
zhè yī cì ruò bú shì lín xuān dà zhǎn shén wēi ， tā men kěn dìng yǔn luò ， bié de bù tí ， jiù shuō nà kōng jiān fèng xì ， kāi shǐ de shí hòu ， dào méi yǒu yù jiàn shén me 。
这一次若不是林轩大展神威，他们肯定陨落，别的不提，就说那空间缝隙，开始的时候，倒没有遇见什么。
Yellow Court Sect accepted it without hesitation and soon finished checking its contents before respectfully returning it to Lin Xuan.
píng píng ān ān ， tā men hái xīn zhōng huān xǐ ， nǎ zhī dào zuì hòu ， jū rán zhǎo bú dào chū kǒu zài nà lǐ 。
平平安安，他们还心中欢喜，哪知道最后，居然找不到出口在那里。
"Thank you, senior."
huàn jù huà shuō ， huì bèi dǔ sǐ zài kōng jiān fèng xì 。
换句话说，会被堵死在空间缝隙。
Lin Xuan sighed: "I have already told you about the yin souls. What do you plan to do in the future?"
sì rén zuǐ shàng bù shuō ， xīn zhōng dōu shì hài pà yǐ jí ， guān jiàn shí kè ， yòu shì lín xuān chū shǒu ， zhǐ jiàn tā yǎn zhōng yín máng shǎn shuò ， shī zhǎn le yī zhǒng tā men bù rèn shí de líng yǎn lèi shén tōng ， yìng shì zhǎo dào le kōng jiān jié diǎn zài nǎ lǐ 。
四人嘴上不说，心中都是害怕以极，关键时刻，又是林轩出手，只见他眼中银芒闪烁，施展了一种他们不认识的灵眼类神通，硬是找到了空间节点在哪里。
"I don't know."
rán ér biàn shì chóng fù gāng gāng de yí mù ， nà wèi lán è de mó huǒ ， jiā shàng shén mì zhǎng gē ， yìng shēng shēng jiāng kōng jiān sī liè 。 pǎo chū lái le 。
然而便是重复刚刚的一幕，那为蓝è的魔火，加上神秘长戈，硬生生将空间撕裂。跑出来了。
"You don't know?" Lin Xuan was surprised.
biāo hàn dé wú fǎ yòng yán yǔ xíng róng 。
彪悍得无法用言语形容。
"That's right. As Senior said, those yin souls are traitors from the Yin Realm, seeking to ignite a war between the realms and attack all of the Eastern Sea. This is different from what happened within the three tribes; we can't find any safe haven unless we leave this plane," Yellow Court Sect said with a bitter smile.
sì rén bù shǎ ， jīng guò zhè yí mù ， dāng rán xiǎo de lín xuān bú shì pǔ tōng de lí hé …… qí shí tā men zài xīn zhōng dí gū xuán qī lǎo guài wù ， kǒng pà dōu zuò bú dào zhè yī qiè de 。
四人不傻，经过这一幕，当然晓得林轩不是普通的离合……其实他们在心中嘀咕玄期老怪物，恐怕都做不到这一切的。
"Indeed, but staying away will be safer in the long run." Lin Xuan's expression was equally gloomy. The current crisis truly made him feel helpless: "Those yin souls may come in strong numbers, but there are many cultivators in the Eastern Sea. They might not have enough strength to fight back."
chū lái yǐ hòu ， wǔ rén yě gù bù shàng bié de ， xiān jiāng shén shí fàng chū ， què dìng zì jǐ zài hé chù 。
出来以后，五人也顾不上别的，先将神识放出，确定自己在何处。
"Especially if they have a Presence Dividing Realm existence," Master Tiantian Yuan's voice echoed.
hěn kuài ， què shì huáng tíng zōng tái qǐ tóu lú ， liǎn shàng lù chū jīng xǐ zhī xiàng qián fēi guò qù le ， lín xuān yī dāi ， yān shān sì yǒu qí yú sān rén yě yǒu xiē máng rán ， bù guò duì fāng zhè me zuò ， kěn dìng shì yǒu yòng yì de ， sì rén dào yě bù jí zhe xún wèn shén me ， hún shēn qīng máng yì qǐ ， suí hòu gēn le shàng qù 。
很快，却是黄庭宗抬起头颅，脸上lù出惊喜之向前飞过去了，林轩一呆，燕山四友其余三人也有些茫然，不过对方这么做，肯定是有用意的，四人倒也不急着询问什么，浑身青芒一起，随后跟了上去。
"Senior Lin, brothers, discussing this is pointless. The most urgent thing now is to leave here as quickly as possible. As the saying goes, let the tallest person bear the weight when the sky falls. Even if the enemy can conquer this realm, it won't happen in a short time. Staying here might lead to yin souls escaping that island," Fish Miaorong said anxiously.
yī zhǎn chá de shí jiān hěn kuài guò qù ， yī zuò xiǎo dǎo chū xiàn zài shì xiàn lǐ ， méi yǒu shén me líng qì ， què yǒu yī fán rén de cūn zi ， rén bù duō ， yě jiù jǐ bǎi lái rén de yàng zi 。
一盏茶的时间很快过去，一座小岛出现在视线里，没有什么灵气，却有一凡人的村子，人不多，也就几百来人的样子。
"Brother Three is right." Yellow Court Sect nodded. "Senior, do you have any plans? If we leave together, it will be safer."
lín xuān lüè gǎn jīng è ， zhè yàng de dì fāng ， jū rán hái néng yǒu fán rén cún huó 。
林轩略感惊愕，这样的地方，居然还能有凡人存活。
"I can't stay. I need to go back to Red Leaf Island once more," Lin Xuan said slowly.
bù guò lüè yī sī suǒ ， yě jiù shì rán le ， suī rán sān zú jiā è ， bù guò yì bān xiū xiān zhě de zhēng dòu hěn shào jiàng fán rén qiān chě ， bì jìng zuò wéi néng gòu yí shān tián hǎi de xiū xiān zhě ， chú fēi xīn lǐ yǒu wèn tí ， fǒu zé qī fù fán rén méi yǒu yì diǎn yì yì 。
不过略一思索，也就释然了，虽然三族jiā恶，不过一般修仙者的争斗很少将凡人牵扯，毕竟作为能够移山填海的修仙者，除非心里有问题，否则欺负凡人没有一点意义。
"What?" The four were stunned.
ér wǔ rén bìng méi yǒu yǐn cáng xíng jì ， nà xiē fán rén jiàn le ， dà jīng shī yòu shì máng rán ， yòu shì huān xǐ ， hái tòu zhe wèi jù ， máng fú lǎo xié yòu de xiàng zhe tā men dà lǐ cān bài xià qù 。
而五人并没有隐藏行迹，那些凡人见了，大惊失又是茫然，又是欢喜，还透着畏惧，忙扶老携幼的向着他们大礼参拜下去。
"Senior, did you hear that correctly? At a time like this, why are you going back to the Red Leaf Island?"
“ zěn me ， dà gē ， mò fēi nǐ céng jīng dào zhè lǐ guò ？” yú miào róng hào qí de kāi kǒu le 。
“怎么，大哥，莫非你曾经到这里过？”鱼妙容好奇的开口了。
"Yes, remember that both the Human and Beast Islands are major strongholds for humans and sea creatures in this area. After those yin souls appeared, they will surely be the first targets," Fish Miaorong said in shock.
“ bù zhǐ lái guò ， wǒ biàn shì cóng zhè xiǎo yú cūn zǒu chū qù de xiū xiān zhě 。” huáng tíng zōng yǒu xiē shāng gǎn de shuō 。
“不止来过，我便是从这小渔村走出去的修仙者。”黄庭宗有些伤感的说。
"Correct. Whether or not these yin souls can conquer the Eastern Sea is uncertain, but taking over Red Leaf Island and the Human Beast Island would be a mere formality. Senior, you just escaped danger; why put yourself back into it?" Master Tiantian Yuan also spoke up to dissuade him.
“ shén me ？”
“什么？”
Purple Orchid Fairy couldn't speak, but her worried and confused expression was evident.
zhè ge huí dá ， lián lín xuān dōu dà gǎn jīng yà ， qí tā sān rén yě shì yī yàng de ， bié kàn yān shān sì yǒu xìng qù xiāng tóu ， tā men xiāng jiā， qí shí yě bù guò bǎi nián zuǒ yòu ， zài zhè zhī qián ， měi gè rén dōu yǒu měi gè rén de shēng huó ， yuàn yì shuō jiù shuō ， bù xiǎng tí jí ， yě bú huì yǒu rén qù kè yì dǎ tīng de 。
这个回答，连林轩都大感惊讶，其他三人也是一样的，别看燕山四友兴趣相投，他们相jiā，其实也不过百年左右，在这之前，每个人都有每个人的生活，愿意说就说，不想提及，也不会有人去刻意打听的。
"Companions, don't worry. I have absolute confidence in what I'm doing. I indeed have something important that requires my return to the Red Leaf Island. The danger is known to me, but I can avoid it," Lin Xuan said with a smile, showing complete confidence.
huáng tíng zōng jū rán shì cóng zhè lǐ zǒu chū de xiū xiān zhě ， cǐ shì wèi miǎn yě tài qiǎo le 。
黄庭宗居然是从这里走出的修仙者，此事未免也太巧了。
The four exchanged glances; they weren't stupid and could see that his expression meant no persuasion would work!
yǔ sān rén de zhèn hàn lüè yǒu bù tóng ， lín xuān shì zuì kuài qīng xǐng de yí gè ， liǎn shàng lù chū dà xǐ zhī zhè lǐ jì shì dào yǒu de gù lǐ ， nà wǒ men cǐ chù de wèi zhì xiǎng bì nǐ xīn zhōng yǒu shù 。”
与三人的震撼略有不同，林轩是最快清醒的一个，脸上lù出大喜之这里既是道友的故里，那我们此处的位置想必你心中有数。”
"Senior, take care. We won't follow you."
“ qián bèi suǒ yán bù cuò ， huáng mǒu dāng rán qīng chǔ ， wǒ men xiàn zài suǒ zài de dì diǎn ， jù lí hóng yè hǎi yù ， yě bù guò shù rì de lù chéng ér yǐ ， qián bèi yǒu méi yǒu dài hǎi tú ， wǒ kě yǐ wèi nǐ biāo zhù 。”
“前辈所言不错，黄某当然清楚，我们现在所在的地点，距离红叶海域，也不过数日的路程而已，前辈有没有带海图，我可以为你标注。”
"You don't need to accompany me on this risky journey. Where do you plan to go in the future?"
“ rú cǐ yǒu láo dào yǒu 。”
“如此有劳道友。”
"We haven't planned anything yet, but I intend to transfer all the villagers here as well since they have a deep connection with me," Yellow Court Sect said.
“ qián bèi hé bì rú cǐ kè qì ， huáng mǒu zhè tiáo mìng dōu shì nǐ jiù dì ， qū qū xiǎo shì ， bù zú guà chǐ 。”
“前辈何必如此客气，黄某这条命都是你救地，区区小事，不足挂齿。”
Lin Xuan understood what Yellow Court Sect meant. The yin souls' invasion was different from that of the three tribes; they would kill everyone without discrimination.
lín xuān diǎn diǎn tóu ， hán xuān xià qù méi yǒu yì yì ， diǎn dào jí zhǐ ， tā shēn chū shǒu lái ， zài yāo jiān yī pāi ， dùn shí yī yù tóng jiǎn fēi lüè chū lái ， bú yòng shuō ， lǐ miàn nǎi shì hǎi tú ， bù jǐn bāo kuò hóng yè hǎi yù ， zhè zhōu wéi fù jìn de jǐ gè hǎi yù ， yě quán bù yì qǐ náng kuò le jìn qù 。
林轩点点头，寒暄下去没有意义，点到即止，他伸出手来，在腰间一拍，顿时一yù瞳简飞掠出来，不用说，里面乃是海图，不仅包括红叶海域，这周围附近的几个海域，也全部一起囊括了进去。
"Alright, take care. If we are lucky, we might meet again."
huáng tíng zōng jiē guò ， èr huà bù shuō de chén rù shén shí ， hěn kuài jiù hǎo le ， rán hòu gōng gōng jìng jìng de jiāng yù tóng jiǎn dì huí dào lín xuān shǒu zhōng 。
黄庭宗接过，二话不说的沉入神识，很快就好了，然后恭恭敬敬的将yù瞳简递回到林轩手中。
"Yes, senior, you should also take care. Your life is a debt I and my siblings will always remember. We won't let our gratitude go unexpressed. We don't want to die either; one day, we hope to repay your kindness," Yellow Court Sect said.
“ yǒu láo dào yǒu 。”
“有劳道友。”
"Haha, your words are right. You must live."
lín xuān tàn le kǒu qì ：“yīn hún de qíng kuàng lín mǒu yǐ jīng duì jǐ wèi dào yǒu shuō guò ， bù zhī dào nǐ men jīn hòu ， yǒu shén me dǎ suàn ne ？”
林轩叹了口气：“yīn魂的情况林某已经对几位道友说过，不知道你们今后，有什么打算呢？”
Lin Xuan's laughter echoed as he suddenly became radiant and flew towards the Red Leaf Island.
“ wǒ bù xiǎo de 。”
“我不晓得。”
He flashed a few times before disappearing into the horizon.
“ bù xiǎo de ？” lín xuān yī è 。
“不晓得？”林轩一愕。
Lin Xuan had his own reasons for doing this. He could say it was "not seeing the Yellow River, one's will does not die," or that he was bold because of his skills. He still didn't want to give up on the secrets of Red Leaf Island. Even though the yin souls' attack was dangerous, Lin Xuan believed the island wouldn't fall easily; perhaps he could use it as a decoy.
“ bù cuò ， rú qián bèi suǒ shuō ， nà xiē yīn hún guǐ wù ， shì yīn sī jiè de pàn tú ， xiǎng yào tiāo qǐ liǎng jiè de zhàn huǒ ， huì duì wǒ men zhěng gè dōng hǎi jìn gōng tú dú ， zhè yǔ sān zú nèi bù tóng ， chú fēi lí kāi zhè ge jiè miàn ， fǒu zé gēn běn jiù méi yǒu shì wài táo yuán 。” huáng tíng zōng kǔ xiào zhe shuō 。
“不错，如前辈所说，那些yīn魂鬼物，是yīn司界的叛徒，想要挑起两界的战火，会对我们整个东海进攻荼毒，这与三族内不同，除非离开这个界面，否则根本就没有世外桃源。”黄庭宗苦笑着说。
In any case, he wanted to try. If there were no opportunities, he would abandon them later. Lin Xuan understood that one should seize every opportunity.
“ huà shì bù cuò ， bù guò lí yuǎn yì diǎn ， xiāng duì lái shuō ， zǒng huì ān quán 。” lín xuān de biǎo qíng tóng yàng yīn mái yǐ jí ， zhè cì de wēi jī ， hái zhēn shì lìng tā yě gǎn dào jí shǒu dì ：“ nà xiē yīn hún guǐ wù gù rán lái shì xiōng xiōng ， dàn dōng hǎi nà me duō xiū xiān zhě ， yě wèi bì jiù méi yǒu huán shǒu zhī lì le ， shuí shèng shuí fù hái shì liǎng shuō 。”
“话是不错，不过离远一点，相对来说，总会安全。”林轩的表情同样yīn霾以极，这次的危机，还真是令他也感到棘手地：“那些yīn魂鬼物固然来势汹汹，但东海那么多修仙者，也未必就没有还手之力了，谁胜谁负还是两说。”
With these thoughts in mind, Lin Xuan carefully concealed his tracks while flying at incredible speed.
Chapter 1890: Not Seeing the Yellow River, One's Will Does Not Die
"Companions in cultivation, have you all made your minds up?" Lin Xuan looked towards the distance with a slow and steady voice.
"Of course not. We'll face our fates, no matter what," Master Tiantian Yuan sighed. The others had no intention of retreating either.
If they still harbored doubts about yin souls after hearing Lin Xuan's recounting, their fears were dispelled by the sudden crisis that followed.
They would surely die if they stayed here; thus, entering the spatial rift was their only choice.
Lin Xuan's face showed satisfaction. He had indeed made the right judgment. Though these four individuals were different from each other, none of them were cowards.
"Let fate take its course for us all," Lin Xuan said with a smile. "There's no need to worry about that. These spatial rifts are short-range at best. Even if there is danger, I have confidence in making it through safely. Let me escort you."
"Senior, are you serious?"
The four of them were overjoyed and felt even more grateful towards Lin Xuan.
"Why would lying to you be meaningful? You saved my life, so this is just a small favor," Lin Xuan said with a nod.
Soon after, the five of them released their divine senses to determine their location. Yellow Court Sect率先抬起头，脸上露出惊喜之色，向前飞去。林轩一愣，燕山四友中的其他三人也有些茫然，但对方这么做肯定有原因，四人也不急着询问什么，浑身青芒一起，随后跟了上去。
茶盏的时间很快过去，一座小岛出现在他们视线中，灵气稀薄，却有一个凡人的村落，大约几百人左右。
林轩略感惊讶。这样的地方居然还能有凡人存活。
不过稍作思索后也就释然了。虽然三族凶恶，但一般修仙者的争斗很少牵连到凡人。作为能够移山填海的修仙者，除非心里有问题，否则欺负凡人没有意义。
五人并没有隐藏行迹，那些凡人见状大惊失色，又是茫然又是欢喜，还透着畏惧之色，忙扶老携幼地向他们行礼。
"Brother, did you come here before?" Fish Miaorong curiously asked.
"Not just once. I was a cultivator from this small fishing village," Yellow Court Sect said with a touch of sadness.
"What? !"
Even Lin Xuan was surprised by the answer. The other three were equally stunned. Though the four from Yan Mountain had similar interests, they only knew each other for about a century before that. Each had their own lives and wouldn't share them unless willing to do so.

While the others were shocked, Lin Xuan was the first to recover. He looked pleased. "Since this is your friend's hometown, you must know our location here."
"Senior, that's correct. I am well aware. The place we are in is only a few days' journey from Red Leaf Sea. If Senior has a map of the sea, I can mark it for you," Yellow Court Sect said.
"Thank you, senior."
"Why be so polite? Your life was saved by me. This small favor is not worth mentioning."
Lin Xuan nodded and continued with casual conversation. He reached into his waistband and pulled out a jade瞳简, which contained maps of the Red Leaf Sea as well as nearby seas.
Yellow Court Sect accepted it without hesitation and soon finished checking its contents before respectfully returning it to Lin Xuan.
"Thank you, senior."
Lin Xuan sighed: "I have already told you about the yin souls. What do you plan to do in the future?"
"I don't know."
"You don't know?" Lin Xuan was surprised.
"That's right. As Senior said, those yin souls are traitors from the Yin Realm, seeking to ignite a war between the realms and attack all of the Eastern Sea. This is different from what happened within the three tribes; we can't find any safe haven unless we leave this plane," Yellow Court Sect said with a bitter smile.
"Indeed, but staying away will be safer in the long run." Lin Xuan's expression was equally gloomy. The current crisis truly made him feel helpless: "Those yin souls may come in strong numbers, but there are many cultivators in the Eastern Sea. They might not have enough strength to fight back."
"Especially if they have a Presence Dividing Realm existence," Master Tiantian Yuan's voice echoed.
"Senior Lin, brothers, discussing this is pointless. The most urgent thing now is to leave here as quickly as possible. As the saying goes, let the tallest person bear the weight when the sky falls. Even if the enemy can conquer this realm, it won't happen in a short time. Staying here might lead to yin souls escaping that island," Fish Miaorong said anxiously.
"Brother Three is right." Yellow Court Sect nodded. "Senior, do you have any plans? If we leave together, it will be safer."
"I can't stay. I need to go back to Red Leaf Island once more," Lin Xuan said slowly.
"What?" The four were stunned.
"Senior, did you hear that correctly? At a time like this, why are you going back to the Red Leaf Island?"
"Yes, remember that both the Human and Beast Islands are major strongholds for humans and sea creatures in this area. After those yin souls appeared, they will surely be the first targets," Fish Miaorong said in shock.
"Correct. Whether or not these yin souls can conquer the Eastern Sea is uncertain, but taking over Red Leaf Island and the Human Beast Island would be a mere formality. Senior, you just escaped danger; why put yourself back into it?" Master Tiantian Yuan also spoke up to dissuade him.
Purple Orchid Fairy couldn't speak, but her worried and confused expression was evident.
"Companions, don't worry. I have absolute confidence in what I'm doing. I indeed have something important that requires my return to the Red Leaf Island. The danger is known to me, but I can avoid it," Lin Xuan said with a smile, showing complete confidence.
The four exchanged glances; they weren't stupid and could see that his expression meant no persuasion would work!
"Senior, take care. We won't follow you."
"You don't need to accompany me on this risky journey. Where do you plan to go in the future?"
"We haven't planned anything yet, but I intend to transfer all the villagers here as well since they have a deep connection with me," Yellow Court Sect said.
Lin Xuan understood what Yellow Court Sect meant. The yin souls' invasion was different from that of the three tribes; they would kill everyone without discrimination.
"Alright, take care. If we are lucky, we might meet again."
"Yes, senior, you should also take care. Your life is a debt I and my siblings will always remember. We won't let our gratitude go unexpressed. We don't want to die either; one day, we hope to repay your kindness," Yellow Court Sect said.
"Haha, your words are right. You must live."
Lin Xuan's laughter echoed as he suddenly became radiant and flew towards the Red Leaf Island.
He flashed a few times before disappearing into the horizon.
Lin Xuan had his own reasons for doing this. He could say it was "not seeing the Yellow River, one's will does not die," or that he was bold because of his skills. He still didn't want to give up on the secrets of Red Leaf Island. Even though the yin souls' attack was dangerous, Lin Xuan believed the island wouldn't fall easily; perhaps he could use it as a decoy.
In any case, he wanted to try. If there were no opportunities, he would abandon them later. Lin Xuan understood that one should seize every opportunity.
With these thoughts in mind, Lin Xuan carefully concealed his tracks while flying at incredible speed.
