听刘莹这样说，康啸孺沉默良久，足足过了一盏茶的功夫，才终千抬起头：“仙子所言不错，倒是老夫着相了。，“道友能想通就好，如今个人与门派的荣辱，根本就算不了什么，首要任务，是如何灭除降临到天云天云十二州的古魔，要知道，林师叔是不可能一直待在此界的，若不能好好与其配合，赶在其返回灵界前，将古魔灭除，我想后果是什么，道友应该心中清楚。，“嗯，康某心中有数，放心，古魔乃是我等共同的大敌，林前辈又救松风书院于水火，在下一定不会心生二意的。，康啸孺深深一揖：“多谢仙子开导提醒。，“道友客气。，刘莹也敛衽一礼，对方给面子，她也不能盛气凌人不是，huāhuā轿子人抬人的道理她岂会不清楚，随后两人又寒暄了几句，就分手告辞，各自像在玲珑谷中的住所飞去。
Listening to Liu Ying's words, Kang Xiaoru remained silent for a long time. After nearly a cup of tea’s worth of time had passed, he finally raised his head: "Mistress, your words are correct; I was indeed too focused on the trivial."
zhè liǎng wèi de shēn fèn zūn guì yǐ jí ， suǒ xiē xī de dì diǎn zì rán yě bú huì tóng pǔ tōng de xiū xiān zhě jiǎo hé zài yì qǐ 。
这两位的身份尊贵以极，所歇息的地点自然也不会同普通的修仙者搅合在一起。
"Friend, it is good that you have come to this realization. The honor and disgrace of individuals and sects in this world are not significant matters. Our primary task now is to eliminate the ancient demons that have descended upon the Twelve States of Tianyun. Remember, Senior Lin will not remain here forever; if we cannot properly cooperate with him before he returns to the Spirit Realm, I fear you know what the consequences might be."
ér zhè yí mù ， lín xuān dōu gǎn zhī dé qīng qīng chǔ chǔ ， tā dào bú shì yǒu yì qù jiān shì ， ér shì qí shén shí xiàng duì pǔ tōng xiū xiān zhě ， wèi shǐ qiáng dà dé lí pǔ ， zhǐ yào bú shì gù yì shōu liǎn nèi suō ， zhè líng lóng gǔ fāng yuán shù qiān lǐ de rèn hé shì qíng ， dōu xiū xiǎng mán guò tā de ěr mù 。
而这一幕，林轩都感知得清清楚楚，他倒不是有意去监视，而是其神识相对普通修仙者，未始强大得离谱，只要不是故意收敛内缩，这玲珑谷方圆数千里的任何事情，都休想瞒过他的耳目。
"Hmm, I understand. I will take your advice and rest assured, for the ancient demons are our common enemy. Senior Lin saved the Wind Refining Academy from peril, so I certainly won't have any second thoughts," Kang Xiaoru said as he bowed deeply.
biǎo miàn bù dòng shēng sè ， lín xuān xīn lǐ ， què àn zì diǎn le diǎn tóu ， bù cuò ， liú yíng dǎo shì yī cōng míng de nǚ zǐ ， zhè fān huà ， hěn fú hé tā xīn yì de 。
表面不动声色，林轩心里，却暗自点了点头，不错，刘莹倒是一聪明的女子，这番话，很符合他心意的。
"Thank you for your guidance, Mistress Liu,"
nà kāng xiào rú yě suàn dǒng de jìn tuì de jiā huo ， tā de yǎn guāng méi cuò ， zì jǐ què shí dǎ suàn jiè shā miè gǔ mó ， fú chí bài xuān gé chéng wéi tiān yún shí èr zhōu dì yī dà shì lì de 。
那康啸孺也算懂得进退的家伙，他的眼光没错，自己确实打算借刹灭古魔，扶持拜轩阁成为天云十二州第一大势力的。
"You're welcome," replied Liu Ying with a bow of her own. She couldn’t be too domineering even if she was given the courtesy; she knew well that it’s not uncommon for people to gather and gossip. After exchanging a few more pleasantries, they parted ways and flew towards their accommodations in Linglong Valley.
lín xuān bìng bù jué dé zhè me zuò yǒu cuò ， sú huà shuō ， féi shuǐ bù liú wài rén tián ， zhè gē bó zhǒu ， nán dào hái yǒu xiàng wài guǎi de me ？
林轩并不觉得这么做有错，俗话说，肥水不流外人田，这胳膊肘，难道还有向外拐的么？
These two were of such high status that their resting places would naturally not mix with those of ordinary cultivators.
cǐ shí tiān sè yǐ jīng wǎn le ， lín xuān fēn fù lù yíng ér sì nǚ ， huí qù xiū xī ， yǎng jīng xù ruì ， míng tiān cái hǎo chū zhēng gǔ mó 。
此时天色已经晚了，林轩吩咐陆盈儿四女，回去休息，养精蓄锐，明天才好出征古魔。
Over three months had passed, but Lin Xuan remained hidden. The excitement of the many cultivators and demons who had come here for the Alliance of Immortals Decree was waning as they grew impatient without seeing him. The rumors about the three major sects putting on a show were rampant, leading to increasing unrest among them.
yī è yè wú shì 。
一垩夜无事。
In one corner outside Linglong Valley, a group of cultivators gathered. It wasn’t just humans who enjoyed gossip; even cultivators could be curious and idle at times.
dì èr tiān ， tiān gāng mēng mēng liàng ， lín xuān jiù dài zhe jǐ nǚ ， huà wèi cuǐ càn de jīng hóng ， fēi dào le líng lóng gǔ wài de shàng kōng 。
第二天，天刚蒙蒙亮，林轩就带着几女，化为璀璨的惊虹，飞到了玲珑谷外的上空。
Two cultivators were arguing heatedly in the middle.
duǎn duǎn sān yuè de gōng fu ， zhè lǐ yǐ jīng jù jí le cóng sì miàn bā fāng dào lái de bā bǎi wàn xiū xiān zhě 。
短短三月的功夫，这里已经聚集了从四面八方到来的八百万修仙者。
One was around thirty years old, tall and muscular. The other had red ears and green eyes, an unknown demon race.
zhè qí zhōng ， rén lèi xiū shì yǔ yāo zú gè zhǎn bàn xǔ ， fàng yǎn wàng qù ， wú biān wú jì ， jí biàn yǐ lín xuān de yǎn lì ， yě yī yǎn kàn bú dào jìn tóu zài nà lǐ 。
这其中，人类修士与妖族各展半许，放眼望去，无边无际，即便以林轩的眼力，也一眼看不到尽头在那里。
Both were at the early stage of the Core Formation period.
zhè me duō rén jù jí ， bié shuō shì xiū xiān zhě ， jiù suàn fán rén ， yě róng yì rě chū yī xiē shì duān yǔ má fán ， hǎo zài rú jīn tiān yún shí èr zhōu nǎi fēi cháng shí qī ， yǒu gǔ mó zhè ge gòng tóng de dà dí ， gù ér bù lùn xiū shì yǔ fán rén dōu xiǎn de bǐ jiào kè zhì ， zài jiā shàng sān dà mén pài jū zhōng tiáo hé ， suǒ yǐ lái dào zhè lǐ de xiū shì yǔ yāo zú rén shù suī duō ， què yī jiù xiǎn de zhì xù jǐng rán de 。
这么多人聚集，别说是修仙者，就算凡人，也容易惹出一些事端与麻烦，好在如今天云十二州乃非常时期，有古魔这个共同的大敌，故而不论修士与凡人都显得比较克制，再加上三大门派居中调和，所以来到这里的修士与妖族人数虽多，却依旧显得秩序井然的。
They argued fiercely over something, each summoning their treasures as a battle seemed imminent.
rán ér suí zhe shí jiān de tuī yí ， zhè zhǒng qíng kuàng què yǒu xiē nán yǐ wéi xù 。
然而随着时间的推移，这种情况却有些难以维续。
A flash of light streaked by from afar.
wú tā ， lín xuān yì zhí bù céng lòu miàn a ！
无他，林轩一直不曾露面啊！
The figure that emerged was a late-stage Condensation Core cultivator. By his attire, he represented one of the three major sects.
zhòng xiū shì yǔ yāo zú xìng chōng chōng de lái dào cǐ chù ， xiān méng lìng gù rán shì yí gè yuán gù ， dàn zuì zhòng yào de lǐ yóu ， hái shì yīn wèi lín xuān zhè wèi dà néng xiū xiān zhě de chuán shuō 。
众修士与妖族兴冲冲的来到此处，仙盟令固然是一个缘故，但最重要的理由，还是因为林轩这位大能修仙者的传说。
"Senior, please hold your ground; we cannot cause chaos here," the condensation core cultivator said.
yào zhī dào ， zì cóng mó zāi jiàng lín tiān yún shí èr zhōu ， bù lùn rén lèi hái shì yāo zú ， qíng shì dōu bù róng lè guān de ， dà bù fèn shí hòu ， dōu luò yú xià fēng ， bù lǚ wéi jiān ， fǒu zé ， tiān qiǎo mén 、 yù líng zōng ， hái yǒu lí yào gōng yě bú huì zǒng duò bèi gōng pò ， huī fēi yān miè diào le ……
要知道，自从魔灾降临天云十二州，不论人类还是妖族，情势都不容乐观的，大部分时候，都落于下风，步履维艰，否则，天巧门、御灵宗，还有离药宫也不会总舵被攻破，灰飞烟灭掉了……
"What do you think you are? To dare interfere with my affairs?" The tall and muscular cultivator sneered, showing a domineering attitude.
ér lín xuān zài cǐ shí cǐ kè ， pò suì xū kōng ， qí yì yì jiù xiǎn de zhòng dà le 。
而林轩在此时此刻，破碎虚空，其意义就显得重大了。
"How can you say such things? Are you not respecting the three major sects?"
bié de bù tí ， guāng shì duì shì qì ， nà zuò yòng jiù wú yǐ lún bǐ 。
别的不提，光是对士气，那作用就无以伦比。
The condensation core cultivator’s face turned dark. Despite his lower cultivation level, he represented the mightiest three human sects. It was unreasonable for an early-stage Core Formation cultivator to be so disrespectful.
yào zhī dào ， duì rén jiè xiū xiān zhě ， dòng xuán qī xiū shì ， jǐn jǐn shì yí gè yáo yuǎn de chuán shuō ， yǒu tā dài lǐng dà jiā duì kàng gǔ mó ， zhòng rén xīn zhōng de zhèn fèn shì kě xiǎng ér zhī de 。
要知道，对人界修仙者，洞玄期修士，仅仅是一个遥远的传说，有他带领大家对抗古魔，众人心中的振奋是可想而知的。
"Ha! You’re acting like a bully because of your three major sect allies. Have you forgotten that we, who came from afar, are not treated with respect either? The notion of great cultivators at the Profound Origin stage is just a figment of imagination. You leave us here and use vague excuses to stall; do you think we’re fools?"
kě yī huǎng sān gè yuè guò qù le ， lín xuān què yí miàn yě bù lù ， zhòng xiū shì xīn zhōng de yí lǜ ， shì kě xiǎng ér zhī de ， guān yú sān dà mén pài lián shǒu zuò xì de chuán shuō ， nà shì shǔ bù shèng shǔ ， fǒu zé yě bú huì yǒu mò jiāo wáng bēi jù de yí mù 。
可一晃三个月过去了，林轩却一面也不露，众修士心中的疑虑，是可想而知的，关于三大门派联手做戏的传说，那是数不胜数，否则也不会有墨蛟王悲剧的一幕。
"Indeed, this friend’s words make sense. Such reasons are too weak," another cultivator agreed.
rén xīn fú zào bù yǐ ， jiàn jiàn de ， yě jiù zēng tiān zi xǔ duō huǒ qì 。
人心浮躁不已，渐渐的，也就增添子许多火气。
"The three major sects? What can they do? They can’t treat me like an animal. Today, give a clear explanation or else..."
zhè bù ， líng lóng gǔ wài yī bù qǐ yǎn de jiǎo luò ， wéi le yī dà qún de xiū xiān zhě 。
这不，玲珑谷外一不起眼的角落，围了一大群的修仙者。
"Or else we’ll tear down your Pavilion of Joy." The crowd was agitated, with some actively stirring up trouble. Among the eight hundred thousand cultivators, there were surely ancient demons hiding, and if they could incite conflict between outsiders and the three major sects, it would be a laughing matter.
shuí shuō zhǐ yǒu fán rén xǐ huān qiáo rè nào ， xiū xiān zhě xián lái wú shì ， yī yàng de huì qù kàn xī qí 。
谁说只有凡人喜欢瞧热闹，修仙者闲来无事，一样的会去看稀奇。
More and more cultivators began cursing loudly as the situation seemed to spiral out of control. Just then, a cold snort was heard.
zhōng jiān ， liǎng míng xiū shì zhèng zài zhēng zhí 。
中间，两名修士正在争执。
The voice wasn’t loud but seemed to come from afar, yet it was crystal clear. Every cultivator felt their hearts constrict at that moment.
qí zhōng yī rén sān shí yú suì nián jì ， zhǎng shǒu cháng zú ， shēn cái kuí wú ， zhì yú lìng wài yí gè ， zé hóng ěr bì mù ， nǎi shì yī bù zhī míng de yāo zú 。
其中一人三十余岁年纪，长手长足，身材魁梧，至于另外一个，则红耳碧目，乃是一不知名的妖族。
Discomfort!
liǎng rén dōu shì yuán yīng qī chū qī de xiū xiān zhě 。
两人都是元婴期初期的修仙者。
Without knowing when, they were drenched in cold sweat.
yě bù zhī wèi le shén me ， zhēng de miàn hóng ěr chì ， suí hòu gè zì jiāng bǎo wù jì qǐ ， yǎn kàn yī cháng dà zhàn jiù huì kāi qǐ ， yuǎn chù ， yī dào jīng hóng fēi lüè ér zhì 。
也不知为了什么，争得面红耳赤，随后各自将宝物祭起，眼看一场大战就会开启，远处，一道惊虹飞掠而至。
"..."
guāng máng shōu liǎn ， yī níng dān hòu qī xiū shì de róng mào yìng rù yǎn lián 。
光芒收敛，一凝丹后期修士的容貌映入眼帘。
All the cultivators looked shocked.
kàn fú shì ， shì sān dà mén pài de lián hé zhí è fǎ shǐ 。“ liǎng wèi qián bèi qiě màn dòng shǒu ， bù kě yǐ zài zhè lǐ zào cì 。，“ nǐ suàn gè shén me dōng xī ， yě gǎn lái guǎn běn zūn de xián shì 。， nà zhǎng shǒu cháng zú de xiū xiān zhě yī yáng tóu lú ， zuǐ jiǎo biān mǎn shì jī fěng zhī sè ， xiǎn de xiāo zhāng bá hù 。
看服饰，是三大门派的联合执垩法使。“两位前辈且慢动手，不可以在这里造次。，“你算个什么东西，也敢来管本尊的闲事。，那长手长足的修仙者一扬头颅，嘴角边满是讥讽之色，显得嚣张跋扈。
Then, everyone turned to follow the sound as seven figures emerged from Linglong Valley, emitting dazzling light.
“ qián bèi zhè huà hé yì ， kě shì bù jiāng sān dà mén pài fàng zài yǎn lǐ ？”
“前辈这话何意，可是不将三大门派放在眼里？”
The light faded, revealing seven people. Six of them were familiar to all present; although they hadn’t seen them personally, their appearances and mannerisms had been glimpsed through the Jade Vision Scroll.
nà zhí è fǎ shǐ de liǎn sè yě yīn mái yǐ jí ， suī rán tā de xiū wèi bǐ duì fāng dī ， dàn bèi hòu què dài biǎo zhe rén zú zuì qiáng dà de sān gè zōng mén shì lì ， àn lǐ ， jiù suàn shì yuán yīng qī xiū xiān zhě ， yě bù gǎn bù gěi miàn zi 。
那执垩法使的脸色也阴霾以极，虽然他的修为比对方低，但背后却代表着人族最强大的三个宗门势力，按理，就算是元婴期修仙者，也不敢不给面子。
The Pavilion of Joy’s leader, the Supreme Elders of Wind Refining Academy and Heavenly Horizon Pavilion, these six individuals were figures who could shake the entire Twelve States of Tianyun with a single step. Yet now they bowed their heads submissively, following the lead of someone in front.
…… hēng ， bù jiāng sān dà mén pài fàng zài yǎn lǐ ， nǐ shǎo gěi běn zūn gàn nà hú jiǎ hǔ wēi zhī shì ， nǐ sān dà mén pài ， yòu hé zēng jiāng wǒ men yuǎn dào ér lái de tóng dào fàng zài yǎn lǐ ， shén me dòng xuán qī dà néng xiū zhēn zhě ， dōu shì zǐ xū wū yǒu zhī shì ， jiāng wǒ men liàng zài cǐ chù ， què jǐn ná yī xiē mò míng qí miào de lǐ yóu táng sè ， dāng tóng dào men dōu shì bái chī me ？”
……哼，不将三大门派放在眼里，你少给本尊干那狐假虎威之事，你三大门派，又何曾将我们远道而来的同道放在眼里，什么洞玄期大能修真者，都是子虚乌有之事，将我们晾在此处，却尽拿一些莫名其妙的理由搪塞，当同道们都是白痴么？”
The one at the forefront looked ordinary, no more than twenty years old, with an unremarkable appearance. Strangely, there was no aura of spirit energy on him; he seemed like an ordinary mortal.
“ bù cuò ， zhè wèi dào yǒu shuō dé tài yǒu lǐ le ， shén me bù guǎn ， zhè zhǒng lǐ yóu ， nǐ men yě bù xián tài hán chán le yì diǎn 。，“ bù cuò ， sān dà mén pài yòu rú hé ， zǒng bù néng ná wǒ méi nà me duō xiū shì dāng hóu shuǎ de ， nǐ men yào me ， jīn tiān jiù gěi yí gè shuō fǎ ， fǒu zé ……”
“不错，这位道友说得太有理了，什么不管，这种理由，你们也不嫌太寒蝉了一点。，“不错，三大门派又如何，总不能拿我没那么多修士当猴耍的，你们要么，今天就给一个说法，否则……”
Yet, everyone felt a strange unease that made them dare not look directly at him.
“ fǒu zé wǒ men jiù chāi le nǐ men bài xuān gé 。， qún qíng xiōng yǒng ， qí zhōng gèng bù fá tuī bō zhù lán de rén wù ， yào zhī dào bā bǎi wàn xiū xiān zhě ， qí zhōng kěn dìng hùn jì dé yǒu gǔ mó ， zhè xiē jiā huo shì wéi kǒng tiān xià bú luàn de ， rú guǒ néng gòu gǔ dòng wài lái xiū shì yǔ sān dà zōng mén chōng tū ， tā men biàn shì shuì zháo dū huì xiào xǐng de 。
“否则我们就拆了你们拜轩阁。，群情汹涌，其中更不乏推波助澜的人物，要知道八百万修仙者，其中肯定混迹得有古魔，这些家伙是唯恐天下不乱的，如果能够鼓动外来修士与三大宗门冲突，他们便是睡着都会笑醒的。
Could this be...
pò kǒu dà mà de xiū xiān zhě yuè lái yuè duō ， yǎn kàn chǎng miàn jiù yào shī kòng ， rán ér jiù zài cǐ kè ， yī lěng hēng shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ 。
破口大骂的修仙者越来越多，眼看场面就要失控，然而就在此刻，一冷哼声传入耳朵。
The great cultivator at the Profound Origin stage that the three major sects had always boasted about?
nà shēng yīn bìng bù dà ， fǎng fú shì cóng yuǎn chù chuán rù ěr duǒ ， piān piān qīng xī dào jí chù ， zài chǎng de měi yí gè xiū xiān zhě ， zài tīng jiàn nà lěng hēng de yī kè ， xīn dōu fǎng fú hěn hěn de shōu suō 。
那声音并不大，仿佛是从远处传入耳朵，偏偏清晰到极处，在场的每一个修仙者，在听见那冷哼的一刻，心都仿佛狠狠的收缩。
Everyone’s hearts were filled with doubts. They couldn’t confirm it outright but knew something was amiss.
nán shòu ！
难受！
Lin Xuan took a deep breath, knowing he needed to demonstrate some convincing abilities to command these eight hundred thousand cultivators.
bù zhī hé shí ， jìng bèi lěng hàn dǎ shī 。
不知何时，竟被冷汗打湿。
He inhaled deeply and emitted a faint green light. An overwhelming spiritual pressure surged like a tidal wave towards him.
“ zhè ……”
“这……”
The eight hundred thousand cultivators spread over several kilometers were all enveloped by this spiritual pressure.
zài chǎng de xiū xiān zhě ， liǎn shàng wú bù lù chū hài rán zhī sè 。
在场的修仙者，脸上无不露出骇然之色。
Initially, all the cultivators were shocked. This spiritual pressure was as formidable as a tidal wave, something they had never heard of or seen before.
suí hòu ， zhòng rén dōu bù yóu zì zhǔ de suí zhe nà shēng yīn zhuǎn guò tóu lú ， zhǐ jiàn shù dào guāng huá ， yào yǎn cì mù ， cóng líng lóng gǔ lǐ miàn fēi chū lái le 。
随后，众人都不由自主的随着那声音转过头颅，只见数道光华，耀眼刺目，从玲珑谷里面飞出来了。
"What does this senior want to do?"
guāng huá shōu liǎn ， yī gòng yǒu qī rén zhī duō 。
光华收敛，一共有七人之多。
Everyone didn’t have time to think; instead, they wanted to first summon their defensive treasures. However, it was too late. Their movements were swift, but the spiritual pressure’s momentum was even faster. They couldn’t set up defenses in time and were enveloped by it.
qí zhōng liù gè ， zài chǎng zhī rén dōu fēi cháng shú xī ， suī rán méi yǒu qīn yǎn jiàn guò ， dàn tā men de yīn róng xiào mào ， tōng guò yù tóng jiǎn ， duō shǎo dōu lǐng lüè guò de 。
其中六个，在场之人都非常熟悉，虽然没有亲眼见过，但他们的音容笑貌，通过玉瞳简，多少都领略过的。
It was over!
bài xuān gé shì wèi gé zhǔ ， hái yǒu sōng fēng shū yuàn yǔ tiān yá hǎi gé de tài è shàng zhǎng lǎo ， zhè liù gè rén ， suí biàn ná chū yí gè ， dōu shì duò duò jiǎo ， ràng zhěng jīn tiān yún shí èr zhōu zhèn chàn de rén wù ， rán ér cǐ shí cǐ kè ， tā men què dī méi shùn mù ， yī fù yǐ dāng xiān zhī rén mǎ shǒu shì zhān de yàng zi 。
拜轩阁是为阁主，还有松风书院与天涯海阁的太垩上长老，这六个人，随便拿出一个，都是跺跺脚，让整今天云十二州震颤的人物，然而此时此刻，他们却低眉顺目，一副以当先之人马首是瞻的样子。
Lower-ranked cultivators didn’t know what happened, while higher-ranked ones turned pale. But soon, they realized their worries were unnecessary; Lin Xuan only wanted to establish his authority, not harm these cultivators.
ér nà fēi zài zuì qián miàn de yí gè ， kàn shàng qù ， què pǔ tōng yǐ jí ， bù guò èr shí yú suì nián jì ， róng mào wǔ guān ， fēi cháng píng fán ， gèng gǔ guài de shì ， tā de shēn shàng ， méi yǒu líng lì de qì xī ， kàn shàng qù ， jiù fǎng fú yī jiè fán rén de yàng zi 。
而那飞在最前面的一个，看上去，却普通以极，不过二十余岁年纪，容貌五官，非常平凡，更古怪的是，他的身上，没有灵力的气息，看上去，就仿佛一介凡人的样子。
The spiritual pressure was terrifying. All those who were affected felt as if they were in a vast ocean, insignificant. Yet, there was no discomfort or distress beyond that.
kě piān piān ， què gěi dà jiā yī zhǒng mò míng de gǎn jué ， ràng zhòng xiū shì ， gēn běn bù gǎn ná yǎn jīng zhí shì 。
可偏偏，却给大家一种莫名的感觉，让众修士，根本不敢拿眼睛直视。
Relieved!
nán dào shuō ……
难道说……
These cultivators weren’t fools. Although the strength of Profound Origin cultivators could only be described in ancient texts, the effect of such a spiritual pressure couldn’t have been caused by someone at the Separation Stage.
zhè wèi jiù shì sān dà zōng mén yì zhí xuān yáng de dòng xuán qī xiū xiān zhě ？
这位就是三大宗门一直宣扬的洞玄期修仙者？
Only an old monster from the Spirit Realm and great cultivators at the Profound Origin stage could make eight hundred thousand cultivators tremble simultaneously.
suǒ yǒu rén de xīn zhōng ， chōng mǎn le yí huò ， yǒu zhè zhǒng cāi cè ， dàn què bù gǎn jiù cǐ kěn dìng le 。
所有人的心中，充满了疑惑，有这种猜测，但却不敢就此肯定了。
The spiritual pressure came quickly but retreated just as swiftly. It was enough to establish authority without causing harm.
ér zhè shí ， lín xuān shēn shēn hū xī ， tā zhī dào ， xiǎng yào tǒng lǐng zhè bā bǎi wàn xiū shì ， zǒng yào ná chū yī xiē lìng tā men xīn fú kǒu fú de běn shì 。
而这时，林轩深深呼吸，他知道，想要统领这八百万修士，总要拿出一些令他们心服口服的本事。
Silence reigned over a vast area for several minutes before someone finally reacted, bowing deeply towards Lin Xuan.
xī le kǒu qì ， lín xuān hún shēn shàng xià ， qīng máng zhà qǐ ， yī gǔ kě pà de líng yā ， rú hǎi cháo nù tāo yì bān de fēng yōng ér zhì 。
吸了口气，林轩浑身上下，青芒乍起，一股可怕的灵压，如海潮怒涛一般的蜂拥而至。
A great cultivator at the Profound Origin stage, the three major sects didn’t lie; now defeating the ancient demons had hope.
bā bǎi wàn xiū xiān zhě ， mián yán shù qiān lǐ ， què quán dōu bèi zhè gǔ líng yā gěi lǒng zhào zhù 。
八百万修仙者，绵延数千里，却全都被这股灵压给笼罩住。
Cheers erupted. There was no need to say more; morale had been boosted.
qǐ chū zhī shí ， suǒ yǒu xiū xiān zhě dà jīng shī sè ， cǐ líng yā rú hǎi cháo nù tāo yì bān xiōng yǒng ér lái ， qí kě pà chéng dù ， tā men bié shuō jiàn le ， tīng yě bù céng tīng shuō 。
起初之时，所有修仙者大惊失色，此灵压如海潮怒涛一般汹涌而来，其可怕程度，他们别说见了，听也不曾听说。
Lin Xuan’s face showed satisfaction. His planned strategy had succeeded.
“ zhè wèi qián bèi xiǎng yào zuò shén me ？”
“这位前辈想要做什么？”
No further words were needed.
suǒ yǒu rén dōu lái bù jí sī suǒ ， ér shì xiǎng yào xiān jiāng fáng yù de fǎ bǎo jì chū ， rán ér wéi shí yǐ wǎn ， tā men dòng zuò bù màn ， kě nà líng yā de lái shì men ， hái yào gèng kuài yì diǎn ， tā men gēn běn lái bù jí bù xià fáng yù ， jiù bèi nà líng yā lǒng zhào zài qí zhōng 。
所有人都来不及思索，而是想要先将防御的法宝祭出，然而为时已晚，他们动作不慢，可那灵压的来势们，还要更快一点，他们根本来不及布下防御，就被那灵压笼罩在其中。
Turning around, Lin Xuan instructed his six companions: "Divide these cultivators into groups. Three days should be enough. On the third day, we will launch our assault on the ancient demons."
wán le ！
完了！

Listening to Liu Ying's words, Kang Xiaoru remained silent for a long time. After nearly a cup of tea’s worth of time had passed, he finally raised his head: "Mistress, your words are correct; I was indeed too focused on the trivial."
"Friend, it is good that you have come to this realization. The honor and disgrace of individuals and sects in this world are not significant matters. Our primary task now is to eliminate the ancient demons that have descended upon the Twelve States of Tianyun. Remember, Senior Lin will not remain here forever; if we cannot properly cooperate with him before he returns to the Spirit Realm, I fear you know what the consequences might be."
"Hmm, I understand. I will take your advice and rest assured, for the ancient demons are our common enemy. Senior Lin saved the Wind Refining Academy from peril, so I certainly won't have any second thoughts," Kang Xiaoru said as he bowed deeply.
"Thank you for your guidance, Mistress Liu,"
"You're welcome," replied Liu Ying with a bow of her own. She couldn’t be too domineering even if she was given the courtesy; she knew well that it’s not uncommon for people to gather and gossip. After exchanging a few more pleasantries, they parted ways and flew towards their accommodations in Linglong Valley.
These two were of such high status that their resting places would naturally not mix with those of ordinary cultivators.
Over three months had passed, but Lin Xuan remained hidden. The excitement of the many cultivators and demons who had come here for the Alliance of Immortals Decree was waning as they grew impatient without seeing him. The rumors about the three major sects putting on a show were rampant, leading to increasing unrest among them.
In one corner outside Linglong Valley, a group of cultivators gathered. It wasn’t just humans who enjoyed gossip; even cultivators could be curious and idle at times.
Two cultivators were arguing heatedly in the middle.
One was around thirty years old, tall and muscular. The other had red ears and green eyes, an unknown demon race.
Both were at the early stage of the Core Formation period.
They argued fiercely over something, each summoning their treasures as a battle seemed imminent.
A flash of light streaked by from afar.
The figure that emerged was a late-stage Condensation Core cultivator. By his attire, he represented one of the three major sects.
"Senior, please hold your ground; we cannot cause chaos here," the condensation core cultivator said.
"What do you think you are? To dare interfere with my affairs?" The tall and muscular cultivator sneered, showing a domineering attitude.
"How can you say such things? Are you not respecting the three major sects?"
The condensation core cultivator’s face turned dark. Despite his lower cultivation level, he represented the mightiest three human sects. It was unreasonable for an early-stage Core Formation cultivator to be so disrespectful.
"Ha! You’re acting like a bully because of your three major sect allies. Have you forgotten that we, who came from afar, are not treated with respect either? The notion of great cultivators at the Profound Origin stage is just a figment of imagination. You leave us here and use vague excuses to stall; do you think we’re fools?"
"Indeed, this friend’s words make sense. Such reasons are too weak," another cultivator agreed.
"The three major sects? What can they do? They can’t treat me like an animal. Today, give a clear explanation or else..."
"Or else we’ll tear down your Pavilion of Joy." The crowd was agitated, with some actively stirring up trouble. Among the eight hundred thousand cultivators, there were surely ancient demons hiding, and if they could incite conflict between outsiders and the three major sects, it would be a laughing matter.
More and more cultivators began cursing loudly as the situation seemed to spiral out of control. Just then, a cold snort was heard.
The voice wasn’t loud but seemed to come from afar, yet it was crystal clear. Every cultivator felt their hearts constrict at that moment.
Discomfort!
Without knowing when, they were drenched in cold sweat.
"..."
All the cultivators looked shocked.
Then, everyone turned to follow the sound as seven figures emerged from Linglong Valley, emitting dazzling light.
The light faded, revealing seven people. Six of them were familiar to all present; although they hadn’t seen them personally, their appearances and mannerisms had been glimpsed through the Jade Vision Scroll.
The Pavilion of Joy’s leader, the Supreme Elders of Wind Refining Academy and Heavenly Horizon Pavilion, these six individuals were figures who could shake the entire Twelve States of Tianyun with a single step. Yet now they bowed their heads submissively, following the lead of someone in front.
The one at the forefront looked ordinary, no more than twenty years old, with an unremarkable appearance. Strangely, there was no aura of spirit energy on him; he seemed like an ordinary mortal.
Yet, everyone felt a strange unease that made them dare not look directly at him.
Could this be...
The great cultivator at the Profound Origin stage that the three major sects had always boasted about?
Everyone’s hearts were filled with doubts. They couldn’t confirm it outright but knew something was amiss.
Lin Xuan took a deep breath, knowing he needed to demonstrate some convincing abilities to command these eight hundred thousand cultivators.
He inhaled deeply and emitted a faint green light. An overwhelming spiritual pressure surged like a tidal wave towards him.
The eight hundred thousand cultivators spread over several kilometers were all enveloped by this spiritual pressure.
Initially, all the cultivators were shocked. This spiritual pressure was as formidable as a tidal wave, something they had never heard of or seen before.
"What does this senior want to do?"
Everyone didn’t have time to think; instead, they wanted to first summon their defensive treasures. However, it was too late. Their movements were swift, but the spiritual pressure’s momentum was even faster. They couldn’t set up defenses in time and were enveloped by it.
It was over!
Lower-ranked cultivators didn’t know what happened, while higher-ranked ones turned pale. But soon, they realized their worries were unnecessary; Lin Xuan only wanted to establish his authority, not harm these cultivators.
The spiritual pressure was terrifying. All those who were affected felt as if they were in a vast ocean, insignificant. Yet, there was no discomfort or distress beyond that.
Relieved!
These cultivators weren’t fools. Although the strength of Profound Origin cultivators could only be described in ancient texts, the effect of such a spiritual pressure couldn’t have been caused by someone at the Separation Stage.
Only an old monster from the Spirit Realm and great cultivators at the Profound Origin stage could make eight hundred thousand cultivators tremble simultaneously.
The spiritual pressure came quickly but retreated just as swiftly. It was enough to establish authority without causing harm.
Silence reigned over a vast area for several minutes before someone finally reacted, bowing deeply towards Lin Xuan.
A great cultivator at the Profound Origin stage, the three major sects didn’t lie; now defeating the ancient demons had hope.
Cheers erupted. There was no need to say more; morale had been boosted.
Lin Xuan’s face showed satisfaction. His planned strategy had succeeded.
No further words were needed.
Turning around, Lin Xuan instructed his six companions: "Divide these cultivators into groups. Three days should be enough. On the third day, we will launch our assault on the ancient demons."
