zhǐ jiàn tā xiù páo yī fú ， líng mǐ shǎn shuò ， wú shù liǔ yè xíng zhuàng de fǎ bǎo fēi lüè ér chū ， báo rú chán yì ， shù liàng gèng shì jīng rén yǐ jí ， zú yǒu shù qiān zhī duō 。
只见他袖袍一拂，灵米闪烁，无数柳叶形状的法宝飞掠而出，薄如蝉翼，数量更是惊人以极，足有数千之多。
He waved his sleeves, and spirit grains flickered. Countless leaf-shaped talismans shot out, thin as cicada wings, in astonishing numbers—thousands of them.
zhèng shì liè kōng zhēn rén xī rì de bǎo wù ， zhǐ bù guò jīng guò lín xuān liàn huà yǐ hòu ， xíng tài yǐ jīng dà bù xiāng tóng ， yán sè yě yóu qī hēi biàn chéng bàn tòu míng liǎo 。
正是裂空真人昔日的宝物，只不过经过林轩炼化以后，形态已经大不相同，颜色也由漆黑变成半透明了。
These were precisely the treasures from Li Renzhen’s past. After Lin Xuan refined them, their forms had changed significantly; they now appeared semi-transparent instead of pitch black.
tiě yǔ fēi huáng dāo ， zhè běn lái jiù shì qún gōng shǔ xìng de fǎ bǎo 。
铁羽飞蝗刀，这本来就是群攻属性的法宝。
The Iron Feather Flying Locust Blade was originally a group attack weapon.
suí hòu zhǐ jiàn lín xuān shuāng shǒu huàng dòng bù yǐ ， yī lián shù gè fǎ yìn zài xū kōng zhōng fú xiàn ér chū 。
随后只见林轩双手晃动不已，一连数个法印在虚空中浮现而出。
Following this, Lin Xuan’s hands moved rapidly, forming several hand seals in mid-air.
lín xuān yī zhǐ xiàng qián diǎn qù 。
林轩一指向前点去。
He pointed his finger forward.
nà xiē báo rú chán yì de fēi dāo líng máng dà qǐ ， suí hòu yī huà wèi qī ， cóng lǐ miàn fēn huà chū yī mú yī yàng de dāo qì 。
那些薄如蝉翼的飞刀灵芒大起，随后一化为七，从里面分化出一模一样的刀气。
The thin leaf-shaped blades emitted a brilliant light, then split into seven identical copies from within.
bù guò xū yú de gōng fu ， shǔ yǐ wàn jì de fēi dāo jiù xuán fú zài lín xuān de shēn cè ， kàn shàng qù rú dāo shān yì bān de jīng xīn chù mù 。
不过须臾的功夫，数以万计的飞刀就悬浮在林轩的身侧，看上去如刀山一般的惊心触目。
In an instant, tens of thousands of flying knives hovered around Lin Xuan, creating a terrifying sight akin to a mountain of swords.
zuò wéi rén jiè dǐng ér jiān ér de xiū xiān zhě ， liú yíng shén me méi yǒu jiàn guò ， cǐ shí cǐ kè ， yě bù yóu de hài rán shī sè ， shù liàng shì yì fāng miàn ， hái yǒu měi yī bǐng fēi dāo ， shèn zhì shì dāo qì ， suǒ yùn hán de líng lì dōu hài rén yǐ jí ， yuǎn fēi yì bān de fǎ bǎo kě bǐ 。
做为人界顶儿尖儿的修仙者，刘莹什么没有见过，此时此刻，也不由得骇然失色，数量是一方面，还有每一柄飞刀，甚至是刀气，所蕴含的灵力都骇人以极，远非一般的法宝可比。
Liu Ying, as one of the top cultivators in the human world, had seen many wonders. Yet she was still taken aback by the sheer number and the formidable spiritual energy each knife and blade aura contained—far beyond ordinary treasures.
gǔ mó zhōng zì rán yě yǒu shí huò ， hé kuàng lín xuān dào lái yǐ hòu ， guāng shì suǒ sàn fà chū lái de líng yā ， jiù ràng tā men hún shēn fā dǒu ， biàn shì dà shǒu lǐng yě yuǎn yuǎn bù rú ， bù shǎo gāo wèi gǔ mó yǐ jīng dǎ suàn liū zǒu 。
古魔中自然也有识货，何况林轩到来以后，光是所散发出来的灵压，就让他们浑身发抖，便是大首领也远远不如，不少高位古魔已经打算溜走。
Some ancient demons recognized the value of these treasures. However, Lin Xuan’s mere presence sent shivers down their spines; even the Great Leader was no match. Many high-ranking ancient demons were already planning to flee.
kě xiàn zài wǎn le ！
可现在晚了！
But it was too late!
lín xuān shēn chū yòu shǒu ， xiàng qián diǎn qù ， tóng shí níng zhòng rú shān de tǔ chū yí gè “ zhǎn ” zì 。
林轩伸出右手，向前点去，同时凝重如山的吐出一个“斩”字。
Lin Xuan extended his right hand and pointed forward, uttering a weighty "斩" (cut).
dùn shí ， pò kōng shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， nà xiē ruì lì de dāo qì xiàng zhe sì zhōu 〖 jī 〗 shè ， gǔ mó men shèn zhì hái lái bù jí cǎn hū ， jiù sà rán fā xiàn zì jǐ yǐ jīng bèi qǔ xià le tóu lú 。
顿时，破空声传入耳朵，那些锐利的刀气向着四周〖激〗射，古魔们甚至还来不及惨呼，就飒然发现自己已经被取下了头颅。
A piercing sound filled the air as sharp blade auras shot out in all directions. The ancient demons hadn’t even had time to cry out before their heads were severed.
ér zhè jǐn jǐn shì xū yú de gōng fu ， kuài dé xī men shèn zhì dōu bù xiǎo de zì jǐ shì zěn me mò luò 。
而这仅仅是须臾的功夫，快得牺们甚至都不晓得自己是怎么陌落。
This happened so swiftly that they didn’t know how it occurred.
guān jiàn shì yǒu zhè yàng jīng lì de gǔ mó yáng bú shì yí gè liǎng gè ， gāng wǎng nà yí gè zhào miàn jiù bèi lín xuān miè shā le shù wàn gǔ mó 。
关键是有这样经历的古魔羊不是一个两个，刚网那一个照面就被林轩灭杀了数万古魔。
Crucially, not just one or two ancient demons but thousands had already met their end in this manner. Their deaths were brutal beyond description.
biāo hàn dé wú fǎ yòng yán yǔ miáo shù 。
彪悍得无法用言语描述。
Liu Ying stood beside Lin Xuan and couldn’t help covering her mouth with a hand. Could this be the power of a Daoist of Profound Secrets? She felt utterly powerless to intervene.
liú yíng zhàn zài lín xuān shēn cè ， dōu rěn bú zhù yǐ shǒu yǎn kǒu ， nán dào shuō ， zhè jiù shì dòng xuán qī xiū shì de shí lì ， zì jǐ wán quán chā bù liǎo shǒu 。
刘莹站在林轩身侧，都忍不住以手掩口，难道说，这就是洞玄期修士的实力，自己完全插不了手。
The ancient demons were stunned; their situation was dire, worse than a crumbling army.
gǔ mó men yě jīng dāi le ” cǐ shí tā men de jú miàn ， kě yǐ shuō shì bīng bài rú shān dǎo …… bù ” hái yào gèng jiā de zāo gāo 。
古魔们也惊呆了”此时他们的局面，可以说是兵败如山倒……不”还要更加的糟糕。
Lin Xuan didn't stop despite their dazed state. Surrendering wouldn't work—revenge was his goal. Countless blade auras flew about in a short time, and the demon forces were decimated within half an hour.
lín xuān kě bù huì yīn wèi tā men fā dāi jiù tíng shǒu ， tóu xiáng yě méi yǒu yòng ， dāng chū gǔ mó shì zěn me tú chuō rén lèi xiū xiān zhě ， lín xuān xiàn zài bù guò shì yī bào huán yī bào 。 shǔ yǐ wàn jì de dāo qì zòng héng fēi wǔ ， duǎn duǎn bú dào bàn zhǎn chá de gōng fu ” mó zú dà jūn jiù bèi shā le huà líng bā luò 。
林轩可不会因为他们发呆就停手，投降也没有用，当初古魔是怎么屠戳人类修仙者，林轩现在不过是一报还一报。数以万计的刀气纵横飞舞，短短不到半盏茶的功夫”魔族大军就被杀了化零八落。
No ancient demons had a chance to escape. This time, Lin Xuan’s attack was cleaner than at Drifting Cloud Valley; he didn’t even need to release blood fire ants to chase them down.
méi yǒu yī míng gǔ mó yǒu jī huì táo tuō ， zhè yī cì lín xuān chū shǒu ， yuǎn bǐ zài líng lóng gǔ gèng jiā de gān jìng lì luò ， shèn zhì dōu bù yòng fàng chū xiě huǒ yǐ zhuī dí le 。
没有一名古魔有机会逃脱，这一次林轩出手，远比在玲珑谷更加的干净利落，甚至都不用放出血火蚁追敌了。
Most ancient demons died without understanding what happened. The female cultivators of the Lingyun Pavilion were equally shocked.
tù qǐ hú luò ， jué dà bù fèn gǔ mó sǐ dé xī lǐ hú tú ， zhì yú bài xuān gé de nǚ xiū men ， jiù gèng jiā jīng dāi le 。
兔起鹘落，绝大部分古魔死得稀里糊涂，至于拜轩阁的女修们，就更加惊呆了。
How could this be?
zěn me kě néng ne ？
怎么可能呢？
One person alone had easily defeated the entire demon army with such ease.
yī rén chū shǒu ， qīng sōng qiè yì jiù jiāng gǔ mó dà jūn dǎ bài le 。
一人出手，轻松惬意就将古魔大军打败了。
Such a thing would never be believed unless witnessed firsthand.
zhè zhǒng shì qíng ” ruò bú shì qīn yǎn mù dǔ ， shuō chū qù jué bú huì yǒu rén xiāng xìn de 。
这种事情”若不是亲眼目睹，说出去绝不会有人相信的。
Was it truly a True Immortal descending to earth?
nán dào shì zhēn xiān lín fán le ？
难道是真仙临凡了？
As the demon fog was swept away, everyone’s gaze turned to Lin Xuan.
dāng mó wù bèi sǎo dàng yī kōng ， suǒ yǒu rén de mù guāng ， dōu jí zhōng zài lín xuān shēn shàng le 。
当魔雾被扫荡一空，所有人的目光，都集中在林轩身上了。
Their expressions were complex—shock, confusion, but mostly admiration. Even if they didn’t know his exact cultivation level, could he not have killed so many demons easily enough?
biǎo qíng fù zá yǐ jí ， jīng yà ， máng rán ， bù guò gèng duō de hái shì chóng mù ， suī rán tā men bù xiǎo de zhè wèi shén mì qián bèi de jìng jiè jiū jìng wèi shén me ” dàn néng gòu rú cǐ qīng yì de miè shā nà me duō gǔ mó ， nán dào hái bù néng shuō míng wèn tí me ？
表情复杂以极，惊讶，茫然，不过更多的还是崇慕，虽然她们不晓得这位神秘前辈的境界究竟为什么”但能够如此轻易的灭杀那么多古魔，难道还不能说明问题么？
Most of those present were cultivators from the Heavenly Sea Pavilion, yet as a Supreme Elder, Liu Ying was overlooked. This wasn’t her disciples’ fault; Lin Xuan’s presence was too dazzling.
zài chǎng de ， jué dà duō shù dōu shì tiān yá hǎi gé de xiū xiān zhě ， rán ér zuò wéi tài shàng zhǎng lǎo ， liú yíng què bèi hū lüè diào ， zhè bù néng guài dì zǐ ， shí zài shì lín xuān tài qiǎng yǎn duó mù 。
在场的，绝大多数都是天涯海阁的修仙者，然而作为太上长老，刘莹却被忽略掉，这不能怪弟子，实在是林轩太抢眼夺目。
After some time, someone finally recognized this withered-faced fairy and hurriedly bowed: "Master Uncle, I’ve come to greet you."
yòu guò piàn kè ” cái zhōng yú yǒu rén fā xiàn zhè wèi kū liǎn xiān zi ， dà jīng zhī xià lián máng bài le xià qù ：“ jiàn guò shī shū 。”
又过片刻”才终于有人发现这位枯脸仙子，大惊之下连忙拜了下去：“见过师叔。”
Liu Ying smiled slightly. Her voice was soft but clear enough for every cultivator present to hear: "No need to bow—everyone, meet Master Lin. My ancestor has already ascended to the Spirit Realm. This time, he’s broken through the void and returned to the human world to save the Twelve States from demonic disasters."
liú yíng liǎn shàng lù chū yī sī xiào yì ， zhū chún wēi qǐ ， tā de shēng yīn bìng bù dà ， rán ér què qīng xī de chuán rù zài chǎng de měi yī míng xiū shì de ěr lǐ ：“ bù yòng bài wǒ ” dōu lái jiàn guò lín shī zǔ ， nǐ men shī zǔ ， běn yǐ fēi shēng dào líng jiè zhī zhōng ” zhè cì pò suì xū kōng ， chóng xīn huí dào rén jiè ” jiù shì wèi le jiě jiù tiān yún shí èr zhōu de mó zāi de 。”
刘莹脸上露出一丝笑意，朱唇微启，她的声音并不大，然而却清晰的传入在场的每一名修士的耳里：“不用拜我”都来见过林师祖，你们师祖，本已飞升到灵界之中”这次破碎虚空，重新回到人界”就是为了解救天云十二州的魔灾的。”
"What? Senior Master?"
“ shén me ， shī mì ”
“什么，师秘”
"How is this possible? Didn’t our sect not accept men?"
“ zhè zěn me kě néng ， běn mén bú shì cóng bù shōu nán zi de me ？”
“这怎么可能，本门不是从不收男子的么？”
"Is it true that a spirit realm cultivator would return to the pre-fly-up world for the sake of the demonic disaster?"
“ líng jiè xiū xiān zhě ， wèi le mó zāi ， chóng xīn huí dào fēi shēng qián de rén jiè ， zhēn de hái shì jiǎ de ？”
“灵界修仙者，为了魔灾，重新回到飞升前的人界，真的还是假的？”
It’s said three women can put on a show. With so many women gathered and hearing such shocking news, various whispers filled their ears.
sú huà shuō ， sān gè nǚ rén yī tái xì ， gèng bú yào shuō ， cǐ shí cǐ kè ， nà me duō nǚ zǐ ， jù zài yì qǐ ， yòu tīng jiàn le rú cǐ lìng rén zhèn jīng de xiāo xī ， gè zhǒng gè yàng de yì lùn shēng chuán rù le ěr duǒ lǐ 。
俗话说，三个女人一台戏，更不要说，此时此刻，那么多女子，聚在一起，又听见了如此令人震惊的消息，各种各样的议论声传入了耳朵里。
Apart from the disciples of the Heavenly Sea Pavilion, some overseas cultivators who had come to Yizhou Island for protection were equally shocked.
dāng rán ， chú le tiān yá hǎi gé de dì zǐ ， hái yǒu yī xiē mù míng lái dào yíng zhōu dǎo ， yī tuō bì hù de hǎi wài xiū shì ， tā men de biǎo qíng jiù gèng jiā de zhèn jīng yǐ jí 。
当然，除了天涯海阁的弟子，还有一些慕名来到瀛洲岛，依托庇护的海外修士，他们的表情就更加的震惊以极。
"Still not trusting what I say? Why are you standing there like statues? Quickly pay respects to Master Lin," Liu Ying’s expression darkened, and her tone carried a hint of anger.
“ zěn me ， běn gōng de huà ， nǐ men hái xìn bù guò ， dōu lèng zài zhè lǐ gàn shén me ， hái bù kuài bài jiàn shī zǔ 。” liú yíng de biǎo qíng yīn chén xià qù ， yǔ qì yě dài shàng le yì diǎn nù yì 。
“怎么，本宫的话，你们还信不过，都愣在这里干什么，还不快拜见师祖。”刘莹的表情阴沉下去，语气也带上了一点怒意。
"Indeed, it is Master Lin. I saw this senior in the ancestral hall," another yuanxian cultivator recognized him before speaking.
“ zhēn shì shī zǔ ， zhè wèi qián bèi wǒ céng zài zǔ shī cí táng jiàn guò 。” huà yīn wèi luò ， lìng yī míng yuán yīng qī de nǚ xiū jiāng lín xuān rèn chū lái le 。
“真是师祖，这位前辈我曾在祖师祠堂见过。”话音未落，另一名元婴期的女修将林轩认出来了。
"Correct. About four hundred years ago, a man did indeed join our sect and served as Supreme Elder."
“ bù cuò ， sì bǎi duō nián qián ， hǎo xiàng què shí yǒu yī míng nán zi jiā rù guò běn mén ， hái dān rèn tài shàng zhǎng lǎo yī zhí 。”
“不错，四百多年前，好像确实有一名男子加入过本门，还担任太上长老一职。”
Though times had changed over four centuries, many cultivators still recalled that long-forgotten past.
suī shuō shì yì shí yí ， yǐ jīng yǒu sì bǎi duō nián guò qù ， dàn xiū xiān zhě de shòu yuán ， yuǎn fēi yì bān de fán rén kě bǐ ， hái shì yǒu bù shǎo rén ， huí yì qǐ le nà zǎo jiù chén fēng de wǎng shì 。
虽说事易时移，已经有四百多年过去，但修仙者的寿元，远非一般的凡人可比，还是有不少人，回忆起了那早就尘封的往事。
These cultivators were both surprised and delighted, rushing to pay their respects to Lin Xuan. The other cultivators, though still confused, quickly knelt in obeisance when the Supreme Elder got angry and so many fellow disciples confirmed it.
zhè xiē xiū shì zì rán shì yòu jīng yòu xǐ ， yí gè gè chōng lín xuān dà lǐ cān bài le xià qù ， zhì yú qí tā de xiū xiān zhě ， suī rán hái yǒu xiē měng měng dǒng dǒng de ， bù guò tài shàng zhǎng lǎo yǐ jīng fā huǒ ， ér qiě nà me duō tóng mén yě dōu fēn fēn zhèng shí le ， nà hái yǒu shén me hǎo yóu yù ， yě fēn fēn kē tóu xíng lǐ 。
这些修士自然是又惊又喜，一个个冲林轩大礼参拜了下去，至于其他的修仙者，虽然还有些懵懵懂懂的，不过太上长老已经发火，而且那么多同门也都纷纷证实了，那还有什么好犹豫，也纷纷磕头行礼。
Even without considering his identity, he was a powerful cultivator, leaving no doubt. Moreover, he had saved the sect from peril by eliminating demons, making him everyone’s savior. From this perspective, bowing to him was willingly done.
qí shí pāo kāi lín xuān de shēn fèn bù tí ， duì fāng shì dà néng xiū xiān zhě ， zhè yì diǎn méi yǒu rèn hé rén yí huò ， hé kuàng tā yòu chū shǒu miè shā gǔ mó ， jiě jiù běn mén yú shuǐ huǒ ， shuō shì dà jiā de jiù mìng ēn rén yě bù wèi guò ， cóng zhè ge jiǎo dù ， xiàng qí kē tóu xíng lǐ yě shì xīn gān qíng yuàn de 。
其实抛开林轩的身份不提，对方是大能修仙者，这一点没有任何人疑惑，何况他又出手灭杀古魔，解救本门于水火，说是大家的救命恩人也不为过，从这个角度，像其磕头行礼也是心甘情愿的。
"Enough of these formalities."
“ hǎo le ， dōu bù yòng duō lǐ 。”
“好了，都不用多礼。”
Before Lin Xuan could finish speaking, a streak of light flew over and revealed a young girl in purple robes.
lín xuān huà yīn wèi luò ， què jiàn yī dào jīng hóng fēi guò lái le ， guāng máng shōu liǎn ， lù chū yī shēn chuān zǐ sè yī qún de shào nǚ lái 。
林轩话音未落，却见一道惊虹飞过来了，光芒收敛，露出一身穿紫色衣裙的少女来。
"Qing'er, what is it?"
“ qīng ér ， chēng yǒu hé shì ？”
“青儿，称有何事？”
"I have news for Master Uncle; the battle hasn’t ended yet. Flame Demon and Stone Demon were placed in the main hall by Senior Sister Jingqing, who intends to use the inner array," she said anxiously. They hadn’t reached a state of complete safety.
“ qǐ bǐng shī shū ， dòu fǎ bìng wèi jié shù ， yán mó yǔ shí mó ， bèi jǐng qīng shī jiě fàng rù le zǒng duò ， shuō shì xiǎng yào lì yòng nèi zhèn duì fù 。” cǐ nǚ yǒu xiē jiāo jí de shuō ， rú jīn kě hái méi yǒu dào wàn shì dà jí de yī kè 。
“启禀师叔，斗法并未结束，炎魔与石魔，被景清师姐放入了总舵，说是想要利用内阵对付。”此女有些焦急的说，如今可还没有到万事大吉的一刻。
"What?" Liu Ying’s expression changed abruptly. While the inner array was more powerful, controlling it with just a few yuanxian cultivators was too risky.
“ shén me ？” liú yíng huò rán biàn sè ， nèi zhèn de wēi lì suī rán hái yào qiáng shàng xǔ duō ， dàn jǐn yǒu jǐ míng yuán yīng qī xiū shì kòng zhì tài miǎn qiǎng le 。
“什么？”刘莹豁然变色，内阵的威力虽然还要强上许多，但仅有几名元婴期修士控制太勉强了。
"Master Uncle, let's go."
“ shī jī ，“”，“ mí bú yòng shuō ， dài lù 。”
“师机，“”，“弥不用说，带路。”
Lin Xuan’s experience was vast; though he didn’t know what had happened, there would be time to explain later. The immediate task was dealing with the demons placed in the main hall.
lín xuān de jīng yàn hé děng fēng fù ， suī rán bù xiǎo de ， jiū jìng fā shēng le shén me ， dàn yào jiě shì ， yǐ hòu yǒu de shì shí jiān ， xiàn zài dí dàng wù zhī jí ， shì duì fù bèi fàng jìn qù de gǔ mó 。
林轩的经验何等丰富，虽然不晓得，究竟发生了什么，但要解释，以后有的是时间，现在的当务之急，是对付被放进去的古魔。
Liu Ying was decisive and didn’t hesitate. She bowed to Lin Xuan and led the way into the hall.
liú yíng yě shì hěn guǒ jué de rén wù ， yě bù chí yí ， xiàng lín xuān xíng le yī lǐ ， dāng xiān jiù fēi le jìn qù 。
刘莹也是很果决的人物，也不迟疑，像林轩行了一礼，当先就飞了进去。
Lin Xuan followed closely behind as they entered.
lín xuān shēn xíng wēi shǎn ， jǐn jǐn gēn zài le hòu miàn 。
林轩身形微闪，仅仅跟在了后面。
Meanwhile, at Nine Swords Pavilion, intense battles continued. Located deep within Yizhou Island’s core, those inside were unaware of what was happening outside!~!
He waved his sleeves, and spirit grains flickered. Countless leaf-shaped talismans shot out, thin as cicada wings, in astonishing numbers—thousands of them.
These were precisely the treasures from Li Renzhen’s past. After Lin Xuan refined them, their forms had changed significantly; they now appeared semi-transparent instead of pitch black.
The Iron Feather Flying Locust Blade was originally a group attack weapon.
Following this, Lin Xuan’s hands moved rapidly, forming several hand seals in mid-air.
"Quickly!"
He pointed his finger forward.
The thin leaf-shaped blades emitted a brilliant light, then split into seven identical copies from within.
