gǔ lǎo mó de liǎn shàng liú lù chū yī jīng zhēng níng zhī sè 。
古老魔的脸上流露出一经狰狞之色。
The ancient demon's face showed a sinister expression.
yǐ mó zōng yá zì bì bào de xìng gé ， tā zì rán bù kě néng jiāng lín xuān fàng guò ， kàn lái yǒu bì yào qīn zì chū shǒu le 。
以魔宗睚眦必报的性格，他自然不可能将林轩放过，看来有必要亲自出手了。
With the grudge-holding nature of the Demon Sect, he naturally couldn't let Lin Xuan go. It seemed necessary to take personal action now.
yǔ cǐ tóng shí ， lìng yī biān 。
与此同时，另一边。
At the same time, on another side.
tiān sè yǒu xiē hūn àn ， zhè shì yī chù liǎo wú rén jì de huāng yuán ， tū rán ， tiān kōng zhōng huá guò yī dào shǎn diàn ， suí hòu kōng jiān yī zhèn mó hú ， yí gè lèi sì yú chuán sòng zhèn de dōng xī píng kōng chū xiàn le 。
天色有些昏暗，这是一处了无人迹的荒原，突然，天空中划过一道闪电，随后空间一阵模糊，一个类似于传送阵的东西凭空出现了。
The sky was somewhat dim, and this was an uninhabited wasteland. Suddenly, lightning streaked across the sky, followed by a space that became blurry. A teleportation array-like object appeared out of nowhere.
wēng míng shēng dà zuò ， suí zhe shí jiān de tuī yí ， qián hòu bù guò jǐ xī ， nà chuán sòng zhèn jiù yóu mó hú biàn wèi le qīng xī 。
嗡鸣声大做，随着时间的推移，前后不过几息，那传送阵就由模糊变为了清晰。
A buzzing sound grew louder. As time passed, it took only a few breaths for the teleportation array to become clear.
jǐn jiē zhe lín xuān fú xiàn zài le bàn kōng lǐ 。
紧接着林轩浮现在了半空里。
Then Lin Xuan materialized in mid-air.
tā huǎng le huǎng tóu lú ， nà xiē xǔ xuàn yūn zhī yì dùn shí xiāo shī le zōng jì 。
他晃了晃头颅，那些许眩晕之意顿时消失了踪迹。
He shook his head, and the slight dizziness vanished.
lín xuān lì kè jǐng tì yì cháng de fàng chū shén shí ， fù jìn bìng wú bù tuǒ ， tā liǎn shàng de biǎo qíng zhè cái qīng sōng le xià qù 。
林轩立刻警惕异常的放出神识，附近并无不妥，他脸上的表情这才轻松了下去。
Lin Xuan immediately released his divine sense with heightened alertness. There was nothing amiss nearby, so he relaxed slightly.
suí jī chuán sòng fú ， gù míng sī yì ， zhè chuán sòng kě shì méi yǒu fāng xiàng xìng dì ， gù ér lín xuān yě bù xiǎo de ， rú jīn shēn zài hé chù 。
随机传送符，顾名思义，这传送可是没有方向性地，故而林轩也不晓得，如今身在何处。
A random teleportation talisman, as its name suggests, had no directional function. Thus, Lin Xuan didn't know where he was now.
jù lí tiān shī mén zǒng duò ， jiū jìng yǒu duō yuǎn de jù lí ， shì fǒu yǐ jīng bǎi tuō le wēi jī 。
距离天尸门总舵，究竟有多远的距离，是否已经摆脱了危机。
How far away from the Heavenly Corpse Sect's main headquarters was this place? Had he already escaped danger?
zhè xiē dōu shì pò qiè xū yào nòng qīng chǔ de wèn tí 。
这些都是迫切需要弄清楚的问题。
These were urgent questions that needed answers.
xīn zhōng rú cǐ xiǎng zhe ， lín xuān zài cì jiāng shén shí fàng chū ， ér qiě jǐn liàng yán shēn dào jí yuǎn zhī chù 。
心中如此想着，林轩再次将神识放出，而且尽量延伸到极远之处。
With these thoughts in mind, Lin Xuan released his divine sense again and extended it as far as possible.
hěn kuài ， tā tái qǐ tóu lú ， suí hòu hún shēn qīng máng yì qǐ ， xiǎng zhe qián fāng jī è shè le guò qù 。
很快，他抬起头颅，随后浑身青芒一起，想着前方激垩射了过去。
Soon, he raised his head. His entire body emitted a green glow, which shot forward.
lín xuān xiàn zài dùn guāng hé děng xùn sù ， liǎng qiān yú lǐ de jù lí bù guò shì shùn xī 。
林轩现在遁光何等迅速，两千余里的距离不过是瞬息。
Lin Xuan's speed of flight was astonishing; the two thousand miles or so distance took only an instant.
zài yī piàn suì shí huāng dì ， yǒu shí yú míng xiū shì jù jí ， zī wèi fēn míng de zhàn lì ， cóng fú shì ， zhè yīng gāi shì shǔ yú liǎng gè xiǎo de zōng mén jiā zú 。
在一片碎石荒地，有十余名修士聚集，姿渭分明的站立，从服饰，这应该是属于两个小的宗门家族。
In a field strewn with rocks, over ten cultivators gathered, standing distinctly apart. From their attire, this should be two small sects or families.
chǎng zhōng zhàn zhe yī duì shào nán shào nǚ ， liǎng rén kàn shàng qù dōu bù guò shí qī bā suì nián jì ， zhèng fēn bié zhǐ huī zhe yī bǐng fēi jiàn yǔ yī bǐng duǎn gē jī dòu bù yǐ 。
场中站着一对少男少女，两人看上去都不过十七八岁年纪，正分别指挥着一柄飞剑与一柄短戈激斗不已。
A pair of young men and women stood in the center, both no more than seventeen to eighteen years old. They were engaged in fierce combat, one wielding a flying sword while the other used a short spear.
qí tā rén zé miàn dài xīng fèn zhī sè ， hái bù shí zhǐ zhǐ diǎn diǎn zháo 。
其他人则面带兴奋之色，还不时指指点点着。
Others watched with excitement, pointing and gesturing.
xiǎn rán ， zhè bú shì shēng sǐ xiāng bó ， ér jǐn jǐn shì dòu jiào jì 。
显然，这不是生死相搏，而仅仅是斗较技。
Clearly, this wasn't a life-or-death battle but merely a display of skill.
kě xī zhè xiē rén de xiū wèi dōu bù zhí yī tí ， dà bù fèn shèn zhì hái méi yǒu zhù jī 。
可惜这些人的修为都不值一提，大部分甚至还没有筑基。
Unfortunately, their cultivation levels weren’t impressive; most hadn’t even reached Foundation Establishment stage.
zài qiáng dà de jiè miàn yě shì yóu gè gè jìng jiè de xiū shì zǔ chéng dì ， ér qiě dī jiē xiū shì de shù liàng zǒng shì yuǎn fēi gāo jiē kě bǐ 。
再强大的界面也是由各个境界的修士组成地，而且低阶修士的数量总是远非高阶可比。
A powerful realm was always composed of cultivators from various stages. Low-stage cultivators far outnumbered high-stage ones.
zhè liǎng rén dōu shì líng dòng qī liù céng de xiū xiān zhě ， shǒu zhōng de líng qì pǐn zhì yě xiāng chà fǎng fú ， yī shí piàn kè ， hěn nán fēn chū shèng fù 。
这两人都是灵动期六层的修仙者，手中的灵器品质也相差仿佛，一时片刻，很难分出胜负。
Both were at the Sixth Layer of the Flexible Spirit Stage, and their spiritual artifacts' qualities were similar. It would take some time to determine a winner.
liǎng jiā zé gè yǒu yī dài duì de zhù jī qī xiū xiān zhě tāo tāo bù jué de xiàng hòu gū diǎn píng zhe 。
两家则各有一带队的筑基期修仙者滔滔不绝的像后辜点评着。
Meanwhile, representatives from both sides were discussing endlessly behind them.
zhè yí mù ， lín xuān bìng bù mò shēng ， duō bàn shì liǎng gè xiǎo jiā zú ， dài dì zǐ chū lái jiào jì lì liàn 。
这一幕，林轩并不陌生，多半是两个小家族，带弟子出来较技历练。
This scene was not unfamiliar to Lin Xuan; it likely involved two small families bringing their disciples for skill practice.
tā yǐ jīng fēi dào cǐ chù ， rán ér nà xiē xiū shì de shí lì shí zài tài dī ， jū rán méi yǒu rèn hé yí gè rén fā xiàn bù tuǒ 。
他已经飞到此处，然而那些修士的实力实在太低，居然没有任何一个人发现不妥。
He had already flown here, but the cultivators’ low strength left no one suspicious until a cold snort sounded. A terrifying spiritual pressure descended from above.
zhí dào yī lěng hēng shēng chuán chū ， tóng shí yī kě pà de líng yā cóng tiān ér luò 。
直到一冷哼声传出，同时一可怕的灵压从天而落。
Of course, this terror was relative. In reality, Lin Xuan had already toned down his aura to less than one-tenth of its original power. Otherwise, these young cultivators would have been unable to bear it.
dāng rán ， kě pà zhǐ shì xiāng duì lái shuō ， qí shí lín xuān yǐ jīng hěn shōu liǎn le ， fàng chū de qì shì bù zú běn shēn de shí fēn zhī yī ， fǒu zé zhè xiē xiǎo xiū shì rú hé chéng shòu dé qǐ 。
当然，可怕只是相对来说，其实林轩已经很收敛了，放出的气势不足本身的十分之一，否则这些小修士如何承受得起。
But even so, in their eyes, he remained unfathomable. They had never seen such a high-stage cultivator before.
dàn jí biàn rú cǐ ， lín xuān zài tā men de yǎn lǐ ， yī jiù shì shēn bù kě kè ， tā men cóng méi yǒu jiàn guò rú cǐ gāo jiē de xiū xiān zhě 。
但即便如此，林轩在他们的眼里，依旧是深不可刻，他们从没有见过如此高阶的修仙者。
In an instant, everyone was at a loss, unsure how to handle the situation.
yī shí jiān ， zhòng rén máng rán shī cuò ， bù zhī dào yīng gāi zěn me yìng fù zhè děng jú miàn le 。
一时间，众人茫然失措，不知道应该怎么应付这等局面了。
"Where are we?" Lin Xuan swept his gaze over them with a neutral expression but a tone filled with authority.
“ zhè lǐ shì shén me dì fāng ？” lín xuān mù guāng zài tā men shēn shàng sǎo guò ， miàn wú biǎo qíng de kāi 。 le ， rán ér qí yǔ qì chōng mǎn le wēi yán 。
“这里是什么地方？”林轩目光在他们身上扫过，面无表情的开。了，然而其语气充满了威严。
The cultivators quickly reacted and prostrated themselves in reverence.
zhòng xiū shì zhè cái fǎn yìng guò lái ， fēn fēn dà lǐ bài jiàn 。
众修士这才反应过来，纷纷大礼拜见。
"Senior, this is the Wrecked Rock Wasteland," said an elderly man with a red face as he bowed. He was at the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, the highest among the dozen or so cultivators, making him the one who had to speak.
“ qǐ bǐng qián bèi ， zhè lǐ shì suì shí huāng yuán 。“ yī hóng liǎn lǎo zhě zuò yī dào dì ， cǐ rén xiū wèi zài zhù jī zhōng qī ， yě shì shí jǐ míng xiū xiān zhě zhōng ， jìng jiè zuì gāo de yí gè ， zhǐ néng yóu tā yìng zhe tóu pí dá huà le 。
“启禀前辈，这里是碎石荒原。“一红脸老者作揖到地，此人修为在筑基中期，也是十几名修仙者中，境界最高的一个，只能由他硬着头皮答话了。
"Wrecked Rock Wasteland?" Lin Xuan rubbed his forehead. The name seemed familiar, but he couldn't recall it immediately.
“ suì shí huāng yuán ？” lín xuān yǐ shǒu fǔ é ， zhè ge dì míng sì hū yǒu tīng shuō guò ， dàn yī shí piàn kè ， yòu xiǎng bù qǐ lái le 。
“碎石荒原？”林轩以手抚额，这个地名似乎有听说过，但一时片刻，又想不起来了。
"Is there a map around here?"
“ kě yǒu zhè fù jìn de dì tú ？”
“可有这附近的地图？”
"Yes."
“ yǒu de 。”
“有的。”
Facing such an incomparably powerful senior, the elderly man didn’t hide anything and quickly reached into his waistband, presenting him with a jade cylinder.
miàn duì xiū wèi shēn bù kě kè de qián bèi ， nà lǎo zhě zì rán bù gǎn cáng zhe yē zhe ， lián máng shēn shǒu zài yāo jiān yī pāi ， rán hòu bì gōng bì jìng de dì guò lái yī yù tóng jiǎn 。
面对修为深不可刻的前辈，那老者自然不敢藏着掖着，连忙伸手在腰间一拍，然后毕恭毕敬的递过来一玉瞳简。
Lin Xuan sank his divine sense into it.
lín xuān jiāng shén shí chén rù lǐ miàn 。
林轩将神识沉入里面。
Soon, his expression turned grim. No wonder he felt familiar; this place was only thirty million miles from the Profound Yin Mountains.
hěn kuài ， liǎn sè jiù nán kàn qǐ lái zhǔ guài bù dé zì jǐ jué de yǒu xiē ěr shú ， cǐ dì jù lí huì yīn shān mài ， yě bù guò sān shí wàn lǐ bà le 。
很快，脸色就难看起来丶怪不得自己觉得有些耳熟，此地距离秽阴山脉，也不过三十万里罢了。
Although it seemed far, his trail had been marked by a Core Formation cultivator. At that stage, crossing such a distance wouldn’t take much time.
tīng qǐ lái sì hū yǐ jīng hěn yuǎn ， dàn bú yào wàng le ， zì jǐ de yǐ jīng bèi zuò le zhuī zōng biāo jì ， yǐ dòng xuán qī xiū shì de shí lì ， xiǎng yào kuà yuè zhè diǎn jù lí ， shì huā fèi bù liǎo duō zhǎng shí jiān de 。
听起来似乎已经很远，但不要忘了，自己的已经被做了追踪标记，以洞玄期修士的实力，想要跨越这点距离，是花费不了多长时间的。
Damned!
kě wù ！
可恶！
Could it be that the random teleportation talisman was merely of the lowest quality and could only transmit a short distance? To escape danger, he still had a long way to go.
nán dào shuō nà suí jī chuán sòng fú ， jǐn jǐn shì pǐn zhì zuì dī de nà zhǒng ， jū rán zhǐ chuán chū yì diǎn diǎn jù lí ， xiǎng yào tuō xiǎn ， hái chà de yuǎn 。
难道说那随机传送符，仅仅是品质最低的那种，居然只传出一点点距离，想要脱险，还差得远。
Lin Xuan sighed. There was no time for lamenting; he needed to leave as soon as possible.
lín xuān tàn le kǒu qì ， xiàn zài méi yǒu shí jiān xī xū ， bì jìng jǐn kuài lí kāi cǐ dì 。
林轩叹了口气，现在没有时间唏嘘，毕竟尽快离开此地。
With this thought, his sleeve flapped, and a beam of light shot out: Plop, something seemed to land. Then Lin Xuan's voice entered their ears: "This jade cylinder is mine."
xiǎng dào zhè lǐ ， tā xiù páo yī fú ， yī dào guāng xiá fēi lüè ér chū ： pā dā ， sì hū yǒu shén me dōng xī luò dì ， suí hòu lín xuān de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ lǐ ：“ cǐ yù tóng jiǎn ， wǒ yào le 。”
想到这里，他袖袍一拂，一道光霞飞掠而出：啪嗒，似乎有什么东西落地，随后林轩的声音传入耳朵里：“此玉瞳简，我要了。”
Before the words were fully spoken, green light enveloped him, and everyone felt as if their eyes were momentarily blinded. Lin Xuan vanished without a trace, almost like a ghost.
huà yīn wèi luò ， zhǐ jiàn qīng máng yì qǐ ， suí hòu zhòng rén gǎn jué yǎn jīng sì hū huā le yī xià ， lín xuān yǐ xiāo shī dé zōng yǐng quán wú ， jiǎn zhí yǔ guǐ chǔ chà bu duō 。
话音未落，只见青芒一起，随后众人感觉眼睛似乎花了一下，林轩已消失得踪影全无，简直与鬼楚差不多。
The cultivators stared in shock. Thisevasion technique seemed too incredible.
zhòng xiū shì chēng mù jié shé ， zhè dùn shù ， sì hū yě tài nì tiān le 。
众修士瞠目结舌，这遁术，似乎也太逆天了。
The young disciples, stunned, were filled with excitement. They had just entered the cultivation world not long ago, and today they witnessed Lin Xuan's might. When would they be able to become such powerful cultivators?
nà xiē nián qīng dì zǐ jīng è zhī yú ， yí gè gè xīng fèn wú bǐ ， tā men gāng tà rù xiū xiān jiè méi duō jiǔ ， běn shēn de nián líng yě bù dà ， jīn tiān jiàn le lín xuān de wēi fēng ， zì jǐ shén me shí hòu ， yě néng chéng wéi rú cǐ shén tōng guǎng dà de xiū xiān zhě 。
那些年轻弟子惊愕之余，一个个兴奋无比，他们刚踏入修仙界没多久，本身的年龄也不大，今天见了林轩的威风，自己什么时候，也能成为如此神通广大的修仙者。
Only the elderly man with a red face showed a look of disappointment. He was far past his dreaming years; the path to immortality was long, and few could travel that far.
wéi yǒu nà hóng liǎn lǎo zhě liǎn shàng lù chū chàng rán ruò shī zhī sè ， tā zǎo yǐ guò le huì zuò mèng de nián jì ， xiān lù màn màn ， yǒu jǐ rén néng gòu zǒu nà me yuǎn 。
唯有那红脸老者脸上露出怅然若失之色，他早已过了会做梦的年纪，仙路漫漫，有几人能够走那么远。
He lowered his head but soon shouted excitedly: "Top-grade spiritual artifact! This is a top-grade spiritual artifact."
tā dī xià tou ， hěn kuài què dà hū xiǎo jiào ：“ jí pǐn líng qì ， zhè shì jí pǐn líng qì 。”
他低下头，很快却大呼小叫：“极品灵器，这是极品灵器。”
The other party had left behind something in exchange for the jade cylinder, but he never imagined it would be so rare—a top-grade spiritual artifact. Such things were almost legendary to him.
duì fāng ná zǒu yù tóng ， céng diū xià mǒu jiàn jiāo huàn zhī wù ， dàn tā zuò mèng yě méi xiǎng dào ， huì rú cǐ zhēn xī ， jí pǐn líng qì ， zhè zhǒng duì tā lái shuō ， jǐ jìn yú chuán shuō zhōng de dōng xī 。
对方拿走玉瞳，曾丢下某件交换之物，但他做梦也没想到，会如此珍稀，极品灵器，这种对他来说，几近于传说中的东西。
The old man's expression of disappointment vanished, replaced by joyous dancing. He was immensely grateful to that unknown senior.
lǎo zhě shī luò de biǎo qíng yī sǎo ér kōng ， qǔ ér dài zhī de shì shǒu wǔ zú dǎo ， duì yú nà wèi bù zhī míng de qián bèi ， gèng shì dà wèi gǎn jī 。
老者失落的表情一扫而空，取而代之的是手舞足蹈，对于那位不知名的前辈，更是大为感激。
Meanwhile, Lin Xuan was already ten thousand miles away. His speed of flight was astonishing; the spirit formation cultivar would be even more formidable. If his calculations were correct, the other party would definitely take personal action this time.
ér cǐ shí cǐ kè ， lín xuān yǐ zài wàn lǐ zhī wài ， tā de dùn guāng dōu rú cǐ xùn sù ， nà fēn shén qī lǎo guài wù jiù gèng bú yòng shuō ， rú guǒ méi yǒu liào cuò ， duì fāng zhè yī cì kěn dìng huì qīn zì chū shǒu de 。
而此时此刻，林轩已在万里之外，他的遁光都如此迅速，那分神期老怪物就更不用说，如果没有料错，对方这一次肯定会亲自出手的。
What should he do?
zì jǐ gāi zěn me bàn ？
自己该怎么办？
How could he escape?
zěn me cái néng tuō xiǎn ？
怎么才能脱险？
Although skilled in over-level challenges, Lin Xuan wasn’t arrogant enough to believe he could single-handedly face a spirit formation cultivar.
lín xuān suī rán shàn cháng yuè jí tiǎo zhàn ， dàn hái méi yǒu zì dà dào rèn wéi zì jǐ kě yǐ dān tiāo fēn shén qī lǎo guài 。
林轩虽然擅长越级挑战，但还没有自大到认为自己可以单挑分神期老怪。
He had some self-awareness and chose to flee without hesitation.
zhè diǎn zì zhī zhī míng hái shì yǒu de 。
这点自知之明还是有的。
But how could he escape? As he flew, Lin Xuan pondered. The simplest solution was to return to the main headquarters of Cloud Concealment Sect. Since both sides were already at odds, if he returned, that ancient demon would only be able to stare in anger—what could he do?
suǒ yǐ tā háo bù yóu yù de xuǎn zé táo le 。
所以他毫不犹豫的选择逃了。
However, this wasn’t realistic; it was too far away. Even with full-speed flight, it would take a few days or weeks to return, and by then, the ancient demon would have caught up.
rán ér zěn yàng cái néng táo dé diào le ne ， lín xuān yī biān fēi xíng yī biān sī suǒ ， zuì jiǎn dān zhí jiē de fāng dāng rán shì huí guī yún yǐn zōng zǒng duò ， liǎng pài běn jiù jiāo wù ， zì jǐ huí qù hòu ， nà gǔ lǎo mó jiù suàn zài fèn nù ， yě zhǐ néng gān dèng yǎn ， rú zhī nài hé 。
然而怎样才能逃得掉了呢，林轩一边飞行一边思索，最简单直接的方当然是回归云隐宗总舵，两派本就交恶，自己回去后，那古老魔就算再愤怒，也只能干瞪眼，如之奈何。
He had to think of another plan.
rán ér zhè yì diǎn bù xiàn shí ， wú tā ， tài yuǎn le a ， cóng zhè lǐ fǎn huí yún yǐn zōng ， jí biàn zì jǐ quán lì fēi xíng ， méi gè shí tiān bàn gè yuè ， yě shì xiǎng yě bié xiǎng de 。
然而这一点不现实，无他，太远了啊，从这里返回云隐宗，即便自己全力飞行，没个十天半个月，也是想也别想的。
Lin Xuan desperately thought but found no easy solution in moments. The sky was already noon when Lin Xuan suddenly felt something and raised his head. About ten thousand miles behind him, an aura was rapidly approaching.
ér nà me zhǎng de shí jiān ， zì jǐ zǎo jiù bèi gǔ lǎo mó zhuī shàng jié zhù ， tán shén me ān rán fǎn huí ne ？
而那么长的时间，自己早就被古老魔追上截住，谈什么安然返回呢？
The ancient demon had actually caught up: It's the end of the month, and there are still many points left to distribute in the comments section. Please post more threads to make it lively!
bì xū lìng xiǎng zhǔ yì cái kě 。
必须另想主意才可。
Additionally, I desperately need monthly votes. Last month, we were overtaken at the last moment, losing the monthly vote award. This month, please don't let that happen again. Your support is greatly appreciated; this is a critical time, so please give me as many monthly votes as possible.
jǐng xuān pīn mìng de sī suǒ ， rán ér yī shí piàn kè ， nǎ yǒu nà me róng yì xiǎng dào tuō shēn zhī cè ， cǐ shí tiān sè yǐ shì zhèng wǔ ， lín xuān tū rán xiàng shì gǎn jué dào shén me shì de tái qǐ tóu lú ， shēn hòu ， dà yuē wàn lǐ ， yí gè qì xī zhèng xùn sù jiē jìn cǐ chù 。
井轩拼命的思索，然而一时片刻，哪有那么容易想到脱身之策，此时天色已是正午，林轩突然像是感觉到什么似的抬起头颅，身后，大约万里，一个气息正迅速接近此处。
Please vote for monthly tickets!
The ancient demon's face showed a sinister expression.
With the grudge-holding nature of the Demon Sect, he naturally couldn't let Lin Xuan go. It seemed necessary to take personal action now.
At the same time, on another side.
The sky was somewhat dim, and this was an uninhabited wasteland. Suddenly, lightning streaked across the sky, followed by a space that became blurry. A teleportation array-like object appeared out of nowhere.
Wu…
A buzzing sound grew louder. As time passed, it took only a few breaths for the teleportation array to become clear.
Then Lin Xuan materialized in mid-air.
He shook his head, and the slight dizziness vanished.
Lin Xuan immediately released his divine sense with heightened alertness. There was nothing amiss nearby, so he relaxed slightly.

Only the elderly man with a red face showed a look of disappointment. He was far past his dreaming years; the path to immortality was long, and few could travel that far.
He lowered his head but soon shouted excitedly: "Top-grade spiritual artifact! This is a top-grade spiritual artifact."
The other party had left behind something in exchange for the jade cylinder, but he never imagined it would be so rare—a top-grade spiritual artifact. Such things were almost legendary to him.
The old man's expression of disappointment vanished, replaced by joyous dancing. He was immensely grateful to that unknown senior.
Meanwhile, Lin Xuan was already ten thousand miles away. His speed of flight was astonishing; the spirit formation cultivar would be even more formidable. If his calculations were correct, the other party would definitely take personal action this time.
What should he do?
How could he escape?
Although skilled in over-level challenges, Lin Xuan wasn’t arrogant enough to believe he could single-handedly face a spirit formation cultivar.
He had some self-awareness and chose to flee without hesitation.
But how could he escape? As he flew, Lin Xuan pondered. The simplest solution was to return to the main headquarters of Cloud Concealment Sect. Since both sides were already at odds, if he returned, that ancient demon would only be able to stare in anger—what could he do?
However, this wasn’t realistic; it was too far away. Even with full-speed flight, it would take a few days or weeks to return, and by then, the ancient demon would have caught up.
He had to think of another plan.
Lin Xuan desperately thought but found no easy solution in moments. The sky was already noon when Lin Xuan suddenly felt something and raised his head. About ten thousand miles behind him, an aura was rapidly approaching.
The ancient demon had actually caught up: It's the end of the month, and there are still many points left to distribute in the comments section. Please post more threads to make it lively!
Additionally, I desperately need monthly votes. Last month, we were overtaken at the last moment, losing the monthly vote award. This month, please don't let that happen again. Your support is greatly appreciated; this is a critical time, so please give me as many monthly votes as possible.
