quán héng lì bì ， lín xuān zhǐ néng jiāng wǔ hǔ xǐ xuě cáng qǐ lái ， chú fēi zǒu dào shēng sǐ yōu guān de yī kè ， fǒu zé tā bú huì dòng yòng cǐ bǎo 。
权衡利弊，林轩只能将五虎玺雪藏起来，除非走到生死攸关的一刻，否则他不会动用此宝。
After weighing the pros and cons, Lin Xuan could only keep the Five Tiger Seal hidden. He wouldn't use it unless he was in a life-or-death situation.
rú jīn ， tā suī rán láng bèi yǐ jí ， dàn bì jìng hái yuǎn méi yǒu bèi bī rù jué dì ， rán ér yào rú hé bǎi tuō yǎn qián de wēi jī ， yě ràng lín xuān náo tóu bù yǐ 。
如今，他虽然狼狈以极，但毕竟还远没有被逼入绝地，然而要如何摆脱眼前的危机，也让林轩挠头不已。
Despite his current dire state, Lin Xuan had not yet been pushed into a corner. However, how to escape this crisis troubled him deeply.
sān gè yuè de nǐ zhuī wǒ zhú ， jiāng lín xuān de nài xīn yě hào le huà qī bā bā le 。
三个月的你追我逐，将林轩的耐心也耗了化七八八了。
Three months of pursuit had worn out his patience almost entirely.
shì kě rěn ， shú bù kě rěn ， tā shèn zhì xiǎng guò ， gān cuì tíng xià lái yǔ duì fāng pīn le 。
是可忍，孰不可忍，他甚至想过，干脆停下来与对方拼了。
This was intolerable. He even considered stopping and fighting with the opponent right away.
rán ér yě jǐn jǐn shì xiǎng xiǎng ér yǐ ， lín xuān kě bú shì chū chū máo lú de cài niǎo xiū shì ， zì rán bú huì zhēn de yì qì yòng shì 。
然而也仅仅是想想而已，林轩可不是初出茅庐的菜鸟修士，自然不会真的意气用事。
But that was just in his thoughts; Lin Xuan wasn't a rookie cultivator who would act on impulse. Such an action would only play into the ancient demon's hands, as the gap between his current cultivation stage and the Divination Realm was too great. Even if he tried, it would likely end in bitter defeat.
nà yàng zuò ， kě shì zhèng zhōng gǔ lǎo mó de xià huái ， fēn shén yǔ dòng xuán de chā jù tài dà ， jí biàn zì jǐ ， duō bàn yě zhǐ yǒu luò gè yǐn hèn shōu chǎng de jié jú 。
那样做，可是正中古老魔的下怀，分神与洞玄的差距太大，即便自己，多半也只有落个饮恨收场的结局。
Small indiscretions can lead to big mistakes. Therefore, Lin Xuan continued to flee.
xiǎo bù rěn zé luàn dà móu ， gù ér lín xuān jì xù xiàng qián táo qù 。
小不忍则乱大谋，故而林轩继续向前逃去。
However, this couldn't be a solution forever. How could he escape this crisis?
rán ér zhè yàng xià qù zǒng bú shì bàn fǎ ， jiū jìng zěn yàng ， néng gòu bǎi tuō wēi jī ， huà xiǎn wéi yí 。
然而这样下去总不是办法，究竟怎样，能够摆脱危机，化险为夷。
Lin Xuan's face was grim. Suddenly, his hand flicked, and an jade cylinder flew out. He sank his spirit into it, revealing the map of Tianshanguan County.
lín xuān de liǎn sè yīn ní yǐ jí ， tū rán ， tā shǒu zhǎng yī fān ， yī yù tóng jiǎn fēi lüè chū lái ， lín xuān jiāng shén shí chén rù ， lǐ miàn shì tiān shuāng jùn de dì tú 。
林轩的脸色阴霓以极，突然，他手掌一翻，一玉瞳简飞掠出来，林轩将神识沉入，里面是天霜郡的地图。
This wasn’t the map he had obtained from that Foundation Establishment stage cultivator three months ago; it was much more detailed and covered a wider area. Lin Xuan had bought this in a market later on.
rán ér zhè bìng bú shì sān gè yuè qián ， cóng nà zhù jī qī xiū shì shǒu zhōng suǒ de zhī wù ， zhè dì tú yào xiáng xì dé duō ， náng kuò de fàn wéi yě bù kě tóng rì ér yǔ ， nǎi shì lín xuān hòu lái zài yī fāng shì suǒ gòu mǎi 。
然而这并不是三个月前，从那筑基期修士手中所得之物，这地图要详细得多，囊括的范围也不可同日而语，乃是林轩后来在一坊市所购买。
"Hey,"
“ yí ,
“咦,
Lin Xuan looked up, his face showing a strange expression. He suddenly reached out and patted his waist, revealing another black jade cylinder.
hěn kuài ， lín xuān tái qǐ tóu lú ， liǎn shàng què lù chū le yīn qíng bù dìng zhī sè ， shèn zhì lián dùn guāng dōu yī xià tíng xià lái le 。
很快，林轩抬起头颅，脸上却露出了阴晴不定之色，甚至连遁光都一下停下来了。
This jade cylinder appeared extremely old and broken.
“ shī zǔ ， zěn me bīn ,
“师祖，怎么宾,
Lin Xuan's expression changed to one of surprise: "Xuan'er, what are you doing?"
guāng huá yī shǎn ， yī shēn cái gāo tiǎo de měi mào shào nǚ chū xiàn zài le miàn qián ， zhèng xuán liǎn shàng dài zhe jǐ fēn kuì jiù zhī sè ， ruò bú shì yīn wèi zì jǐ ， shī zǔ zěn me kě néng luò rù zhè bān jìn tuì liǎng nán de jìng dì ne ？
光华一闪，一身材高挑的美貌少女出现在了面前，郑璇脸上带着几分愧疚之色，若不是因为自己，师祖怎么可能落入这般进退两难的境地呢？
"My cultivation is shallow. If it’s something else, I can't help you much, but regarding concealing your cultivation level, there is a treasure."
tā yòu shì gǎn jī ， yòu shì cán kuì ， liǎn shàng de biǎo qíng ， yuè de gōng shùn yǐ jí 。
她又是感激，又是惭愧，脸上的表情，越的恭顺以极。
"Treasure?"
“ wǒ yǒu yí gè jì huà ， yě xǔ kě yǐ bǎi tuō gǔ lǎo mó 。” lín xuān nán nán zì yǔ de kāi qí le 。
“我有一个计划，也许可以摆脱古老魔。”林轩喃喃自语的开其了。
"Yes, this jade cylinder was obtained from an ancient cultivator's site. It records a demon sect technique called Heavenly Demon Transformation into a Fetus."
“ ó ？” zhèng xuán tīng le ， liǎn shàng bù yóu de lù chū yòu jīng yòu xǐ zhī sè ：“ shī zǔ nín xiǎng dào shén me hǎo zhǔ yì le ？”
“哦？”郑璇听了，脸上不由得露出又惊又喜之色：“师祖您想到什么好主意了？”
"Heavenly Demon Transformation into a Fetus? I've never heard of it. What effects does it have?" Lin Xuan frowned, showing some surprise.
“ jù cǐ xī nán yuē shí wàn lǐ ， yǒu yī zuò tiān fēng chéng 。”
“距此西南约十万里，有一座天风城。”
"This technique is somewhat similar to the敛气术 (Concealing Qi Technique), but its wonders are beyond compare. It can scatter all your cultivation energy from your body's meridians into a fetus, even turning your primordial spirit into an invisible form."
“ tiān fēng chéng ？”
“天风城？”
"Oh," Lin Xuan was delighted. If this technique was truly as powerful as described, he would have a solid chance of passing off as a commoner without being detected.
“ bù cuò ， yuán wǔ chéng mí yīng gāi xiǎo de ， nà lǐ hào chēng yuè guó fán rén yāo huà zhě zuì dà de jù jū zhī suǒ ， rán ér tiān fēng chéng què shì zhěng gè jùn zuì dà de ， yāo huà zhě de shí lì ， yě yuǎn fēi yuán wǔ kě bǐ 。” lín xuān yǎn zhōng yì máng shǎn guò ， huǎn huǎn de kāi kǒu le 。
“不错，元武城弥应该晓得，那里号称越国凡人妖化者最大的聚居之所，然而天风城却是整个郡最大的，妖化者的实力，也远非元武可比。”林轩眼中异芒闪过，缓缓的开口了。
It seemed like the pillow had come to him just when he needed it. Xuan'er must have such a treasure in her possession?
zhèng xuán zé tūn le yī kǒu tuò mò ， jì xù tīng shī zǔ wǎng xià shuō 。
郑漩则吞了一口唾沫，继续听师祖往下说。
"Have you already mastered it?"
“ zì cóng yuán wǔ chéng bèi huǐ zhǐ hòu ， xiān shì yuè guó ， suí hòu zhěng jīn tiān shuāng jùn ， xiū shì yǔ yāo huà zhě de guān xì dōu shì tóng shuǐ huǒ ， mí hái jì bú jì dé ， wǒ men sān tiān qián zài nà liú yún fāng shì tīng dào yí gè chuán shuō 。”
“自从元武城被毁只后，先是越国，随后整今天霜郡，修士与妖化者的关系都势同水火，弥还记不记得，我们三天前在那流云坊市听到一个传说。”
"No," Xuan'er surprisingly shook her head: "I report to my master, this technique requires a Divination Realm cultivator to comprehend."
“ chuán shuō ？” zhèng xuán liǎn shàng lù chū yī sī gān gà zhī sè ：“ duì bù qǐ shī zǔ ， tú sūn dāng shí méi yǒu zěn me zhù yì de 。”
“传说？”郑璇脸上露出一丝尴尬之色：“对不起师祖，徒孙当时没有怎么注意的。”
Lin Xuan nodded: "Given that, let's leave here first. Once I escape the ancient demon, we can meet up at Yue Luo City."
“ méi yǒu guān xì ， wǒ yě jǐn jǐn shì ǒu rán tīng dào nà me jǐ jù ， shì liǎng gè xiū xiān zhě zài yì lùn ， shuō tiān fēng chéng de yāo huà zhě ， běn jiù chóu shì xiū shì ， yuán wǔ chéng yì biàn yǐ hòu ， yuè hèn xiū xiān zhě rù gǔ ， gāi chéng fán rén kě yǐ jìn qù ， rán ér xiū xiān zhě què bù kě yǐ ， gǎn chuǎng chéng zhě ， shā wú shè 。” lín xuān dàn dàn de shuō 。
“没有关系，我也仅仅是偶然听到那么几句，是两个修仙者在议论，说天风城的妖化者，本就仇视修士，元武城异变以后，越恨修仙者入骨，该城凡人可以进去，然而修仙者却不可以，敢闯城者，杀无赦。”林轩淡淡的说。
"Alone?"
zhèng xuán tīng le ， liǎn shàng què mǎn shì mí huò ：“ shī zǔ ， jiù suàn rú cǐ ， nà yòu rú hé ， zhè ge xiāo xī ， duì wǒ men yǒu shén me bāng zhù ？”
郑璇听了，脸上却满是迷惑：“师祖，就算如此，那又如何，这个消息，对我们有什么帮助？”
"Don't worry, silly girl. The ancient demon is still tens of millions of miles away from us. He could track our movements because a tracking mark was placed on me. Otherwise, even a Divination Realm cultivator's spirit would not be able to reach that far. You don’t have any marks, so you can leave without issue," Lin Xuan’s voice remained calm.
“ wǒ suǒ xiū liàn de gōng fǎ ， zài yǐn nì fāng miàn ， yǒu bù kě sī yì de xiào guǒ ， jiù bù xiǎo de ， néng fǒu mán guò gāi chéng de yāo huà zhě ， tīng shuō zài tiān fēng chéng zhōu wéi ， méi yǒu yī zhǒng jìn zhì ， fán xiū shì jiē jìn ， jiù huì zì dòng bào jǐng ……” lín xuān shuō dào zhè lǐ ， tàn le kǒu qì ， mò yuè tiān wū jué fǎn pú guī zhēn de xiào guǒ què rán shén qí ， rán ér néng fǒu mán tiān guò hǎi ， tā yě méi yǒu tài dà de bǎ wò 。
“我所修炼的功法，在隐匿方面，有不可思议的效果，就不晓得，能否瞒过该城的妖化者，听说在天风城周围，没有一种禁制，凡修士接近，就会自动报警……”林轩说到这里，叹了口气，墨月天巫诀返璞归真的效果确然神奇，然而能否瞒天过海，他也没有太大的把握。
"But this matter started with me..."
bù guò shì dào rú jīn ， zhǐ yǒu dǔ yī dǔ 。
不过事到如今，只有赌一赌。
"You are of no use here. Do you have any objections to my decision?" Lin Xuan’s tone turned cold at the moment.
zhǐ yào zì jǐ néng jìn rù tiān fēng chéng zhōng ， gǔ lǎo mó kěn dìng yě huì dà gǎn jí shǒu ， bié de shén tōng zàn qiě bù tí ， zài yǐn nì xiū wèi fāng miàn lín xuān xiāng xìn jiù suàn shì fēn shén qī lǎo guài wù yě méi yǒu bàn fǎ yǔ zì jǐ xiāng bǐ 。
只要自己能进入天风城中，古老魔肯定也会大感棘手，别的神通暂且不提，在隐匿修为方面林轩相信就算是分神期老怪物也没有办法与自己相比。
"Xuan'er dares not," seeing Lin Xuan's anger, Xuan'er showed a look of fear: "Where should we meet?"
suī rán zhè yàng zuò ， bù yí dìng jiù néng bǎi tuō wēi jī ， dàn jué duì zhí de yī shì 。
虽然这样做，不一定就能摆脱危机，但绝对值得一试。
Lin Xuan threw her an jade cylinder: "A hundred million miles away is a small immortal city called Yue Luo City. Go there and wait for me. I will naturally come to you once I escape the ancient demon."
rú jīn yuè ér bù zài shēn cè ， lín xuān yě zhǎo bú dào rén tǎo lùn shén me ， zhǐ hǎo jiāng zhè jiàn shì qíng jiǎng gěi zhèng xuán tīng le 。
如今月儿不在身侧，林轩也找不到人讨论什么，只好将这件事情讲给郑璇听了。
"Disciple understands."
bù guǎn rú hé ， duō yí gè rén shāng liáng yě shì hǎo de 。
不管如何，多一个人商量也是好的。
Xuan'er understood that following Lin Xuan would only be a burden, so she readily accepted this arrangement.
rán ér zhèng xuán tīng le ， liǎn shàng què lù chū yī sī qí yì zhī sè ， tū rán shēn chū shǒu lái ， zài yāo jiān yī pāi ， yī hēi hū hū de yù tóng jiǎn jiù chū xiàn zài le miàn qián 。
然而郑璇听了，脸上却露出一丝奇异之色，突然伸出手来，在腰间一拍，一黑乎乎的玉瞳简就出现在了面前。
She bowed gracefully towards Lin Xuan with an expression of both guilt and respect on her face, took a deep breath, and transformed into a streak of light to fly off to the left side.
cǐ yù tóng kàn shàng qù cán pò yǐ jí ， míng xiǎn shì hěn gǔ lǎo de dōng xī 。
此玉瞳看上去残破以极，明显是很古老的东西。
As Lin Xuan said, there was no tracking mark on her. She would naturally be out of danger. The ancient demon, who was tens of millions of miles away, couldn't detect her departure.
lín xuān liǎn shàng yě bù yóu de shǎn guò yī sī è rán zhī sè ：“ xuán ér ， mí zhè shì zuò shén me ？”
林轩脸上也不由得闪过一丝愕然之色：“璇儿，弥这是做什么？”
Lin Xuan then flicked his sleeves, and a small spirit boat appeared. He stepped onto it, waved his hands, and cast a spell. The light enveloped the spirit boat as it shot towards Tianshanguan City.
“ tú sūn xiū wèi qiǎn bó ， ruò shì bié de shì qíng ， wú fǎ bāng dào shī zǔ shén me ， rán ér yǐn nì xiū wèi ， què yǒu yī jiàn bǎo wù 。”
“徒孙修为浅薄，若是别的事情，无法帮到师祖什么，然而隐匿修为，却有一件宝物。”
Lin Xuan sat cross-legged at the stern of the boat, took out the black jade cylinder, half-closed his eyes, and sank his spirit into it.
“ bǎo wù ？”
“宝物？”
Time was running short. Could he master this technique in such a short time? He wasn't very confident.
“ bù cuò ， cǐ yù tóng jiǎn shì wǒ zài mǒu gǔ xiū yí zhǐ suǒ de ， lǐ miàn jì zǎi zhe yī zhǒng mó dào shén tōng ， jiào zuò tiān mó huà yīng **。”
“不错，此玉瞳简是我在某古修遗址所得，里面记载着一种魔道神通，叫做天魔化婴**。”
If he could understand it, that would be ideal; if not, he would have to take a risk and hope that the return of the Moon Black Witch Technique combined with the敛气术 (Concealing Qi Technique) could deceive Tianshanguan City's restrictions. If his identity was exposed, he would use an illusionary escape technique and then think of other ways to escape.
“ tiān mó huà yīng **， méi tīng shuō guò ， yǒu shén me xiào guǒ ？” lín xuān méi tou yí zhòu ， yǒu diǎn jīng yí de kāi kǒu 。
“天魔化婴**，没听说过，有什么效果？”林轩眉头一皱，有点惊疑的开口。
However, time was running out. He had almost no more Ten Thousand Year Spirit Milk. If he used it up without a plan, he would have to take the risk and fight with the ancient demon.
“ cǐ gōng fǎ de xiào guǒ ， yǒu diǎn lèi sì yú liǎn qì shù ， rán ér qí shén miào zhī chù ， què shì bù kě tóng rì ér yǔ ， bù jǐn néng gòu jiāng hún shēn de fǎ lì ， cóng tǐ è nèi jīng mài zhōng jìn shù sàn dào ** zhōng ， shèn zhì lián yuán yīng yě kě yǐ huà wèi wú xíng 。”
“此功法的效果，有点类似于敛气术，然而其神妙之处，却是不可同日而语，不仅能够将浑身的法力，从体垩内经脉中尽数散到**中，甚至连元婴也可以化为无形。”
With this thought, Lin Xuan's face turned grim. This old bastard had pushed him into such a predicament.
“ ó , lín xuān tīng le ， bù yóu de dà xǐ ， ruò cǐ gōng fǎ zhēn xuán miào dào rú cǐ dì bù ， nà zì jǐ jiù yǒu shí zú de bǎ wò mào chōng fán rén bù bèi xiàn le 。
“哦,林轩听了，不由得大喜，若此功法真玄妙到如此地步，那自己就有十足的把握冒充凡人不被现了。
Revenge is a dish best served cold. If he escaped this time, he would find an opportunity to completely destroy Tianshi Sect.
zhēn shì zhèng xiǎng kē shuì jiù yǒu rén sòng lái le zhěn tou ， xuán ér nà yā tou ， shǒu zhōng hái yǒu zhè yàng de bǎo wù ？
真是正想瞌睡就有人送来了枕头，璇儿那丫头，手中还有这样的宝物？
Lin Xuan’s thoughts raced as he began to comprehend the Heavenly Demon Transformation into a Fetus technique.
“ nǐ yǐ jīng xiū liàn chéng le ？”
“你已经修炼成了？”
Meanwhile, tens of millions of miles away:
“ méi yǒu 。” zhèng xuán què chū rén yì liào de yáo le yáo tóu ：“ qǐ bǐng shī zǔ ， zhè gōng fǎ yào dòng xuán qī néng gòu cān wù ，， suǒ yǐ yī yī yī yī yī yī ,
“没有。”郑璇却出人意料的摇了摇头：“启禀师祖，这功法要洞玄期能够参悟，，所以一一一一一一,
Rumbling sounds filled his ears as a grayish-white demon cloud churned violently. Despite its seemingly slow movement, it had already moved several miles in an instant.
lín xuān diǎn le diǎn tóu ：“ jì shì rú cǐ ， nà mí xiān lí kāi cǐ chù ， děng wǒ bǎi tuō le nà gǔ lǎo mó ， zài lái yǔ chēng huì hé 。”
林轩点了点头：“既是如此，那弥先离开此处，等我摆脱了那古老魔，再来与称汇合。”
This speed was only slightly behind instantaneous teleportation.
“ yí gè rén lí kāi ？”
“一个人离开？”
Suddenly, the demon cloud stopped, and a figure appeared faintly within it.
“ shǎ yā tou ， méi shén me hǎo dān xīn de ， gǔ lǎo mó cǐ kè ， jù lí wǒ men hái yǒu shù shí wàn lǐ ， tā néng gòu zhǔn què bǎ wò wǒ men wǒ xíng jì ， shì yīn wèi lín mǒu shēn shàng bèi zhòng xià le zhuī zōng biāo jì ， fǒu zé jiù suàn shì fēn shén qī xiū xiān zhě ， shén shí yě bù kě néng dá dào nà me yuǎn ， ér mí shēn shàng kě méi yǒu yìn jì ， jí shǐ lí kāi ， yě bú huì yǒu wèn tí ， lǎo mó shì bù kě néng xiàn dì 。” lín xuān dàn dàn de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ lǐ 。
“傻丫头，没什么好担心的，古老魔此刻，距离我们还有数十万里，他能够准确把握我们我行迹，是因为林某身上被种下了追踪标记，否则就算是分神期修仙者，神识也不可能达到那么远，而弥身上可没有印记，即使离开，也不会有问题，老魔是不可能现地。”林轩淡淡的声音传入耳朵里。
After three months of pursuit, even the ancient demon was at his wits' end. Initially, he thought that capturing this mere Divination Realm中期 cultivator would be easy, but with his own hands, as expected.
“ kě cǐ shì yóu tú sūn ér qǐ ……”
“可此事由徒孙而起……”
He never imagined things would be so complicated. Although he didn't know how powerful Wenwen was, his evasion techniques were astonishingly profound and mysterious. He also likely had quick-recovery cultivation pills in hand. After three months of pursuit, he almost caught him several times, only for the small cultivator to escape at the last moment.
“ mí liú zài zhè lǐ yě méi yǒu yòng chǔ ， zěn me ， mò fēi lín mǒu de jué zé ， mí hái yǒu shén me yì yì ？” cǐ shí cǐ kè ， lín xuān kě méi yǒu shí jiān quàn dǎo shén me ， zhí jiē shēng yīn yī lěng de kāi 。 le 。
“弥留在这里也没有用处，怎么，莫非林某的抉择，弥还有什么异议？”此时此刻，林轩可没有时间劝导什么，直接声音一冷的开。了。
His frustration was obvious.
“ xuán ér bù gǎn 。” jiàn lín xuān huǒ ， zhèng xuán de liǎn shàng lù chū huáng kǒng zhī sè ：“ nà wǒ men dào nǎ lǐ huì hé ？”
“璇儿不敢。”见林轩火，郑璇的脸上露出惶恐之色：“那我们到哪里汇合？”
Three months of pursuit had pushed Lin Xuan to the brink, but it had done the same to the ancient demon. At this moment, he found himself in a difficult position.
lín xuān diū guò qù yī méi yù tóng jiǎn ：“ jù lí cǐ dì bǎi wàn lǐ ， yǒu yī zuò xiǎo de xiān chéng ， míng wèi yuè luó chéng ， mí qù nà ér děng wǒ ， lín mǒu bǎi tuō gǔ lǎo mó ， zì rán huì qù nà lǐ yǔ mí huì hé 。”
林轩丢过去一枚玉瞳简：“距离此地百万里，有一座小的仙城，名为岳罗城，弥去那儿等我，林某摆脱古老魔，自然会去那里与弥汇合。”
Firstly, three brothers had died under mysterious circumstances; how could he face them if he gave up?
“ tú kǒng rǎn bái le 。”
“徒孔冉白了。”
Secondly, he had already reached the peak of the Divination Realm初期 and couldn't miss out on the Five Yin Absolute Meridian鼎炉 (cauldron).
zhèng xuán cǐ kè ， yě xiǎng qīng chǔ ， gēn zhe shī zǔ chú le tuō lěi ， shí zài shì bié wú yòng chǔ ， suǒ yǐ yě jiù hěn xīn rán de jiē shòu le zhè ge ān pái 。
郑璇此刻，也想清楚，跟着师祖除了拖累，实在是别无用处，所以也就很欣然的接受了这个安排。
Finally, after pursuing for three months, giving up would mean all his efforts were in vain. Therefore, no matter what, he must try to catch Lin Xuan.
shào nǚ chōng zhe lín xuān yíng yíng yī fú ， liǎn shàng mǎn shì yòu qiàn jiù yòu gōng jìng de shén sè ， suí hòu shēn shēn hū xī ， hún shēn shàng xià líng guāng dà qǐ ， huà wèi yī dào jīng hóng xiàng zuǒ cè fēi lüè ér qù 。
少女冲着林轩盈盈一拂，脸上满是又歉疚又恭敬的神色，随后深深呼吸，浑身上下灵光大起，化为一道惊虹像左侧飞掠而去。
With these thoughts, the ancient demon's face turned grim. This hateful old man had pushed him into such a predicament.
After weighing the pros and cons, Lin Xuan could only keep the Five Tiger Seal hidden. He wouldn't use it unless he was in a life-or-death situation.
Despite his current dire state, Lin Xuan had not yet been pushed into a corner. However, how to escape this crisis troubled him deeply.
Three months of pursuit had worn out his patience almost entirely.
This was intolerable. He even considered stopping and fighting with the opponent right away.
But that was just in his thoughts; Lin Xuan wasn't a rookie cultivator who would act on impulse. Such an action would only play into the ancient demon's hands, as the gap between his current cultivation stage and the Divination Realm was too great. Even if he tried, it would likely end in bitter defeat.
Small indiscretions can lead to big mistakes. Therefore, Lin Xuan continued to flee.
However, this couldn't be a solution forever. How could he escape this crisis?
Lin Xuan's face was grim. Suddenly, his hand flicked, and an jade cylinder flew out. He sank his spirit into it, revealing the map of Tianshanguan County.
This wasn’t the map he had obtained from that Foundation Establishment stage cultivator three months ago; it was much more detailed and covered a wider area. Lin Xuan had bought this in a market later on.
"Hey,"
Lin Xuan looked up, his face showing a strange expression. He suddenly reached out and patted his waist, revealing another black jade cylinder.
This jade cylinder appeared extremely old and broken.
Lin Xuan's expression changed to one of surprise: "Xuan'er, what are you doing?"
"My cultivation is shallow. If it’s something else, I can't help you much, but regarding concealing your cultivation level, there is a treasure."
"Treasure?"
"Yes, this jade cylinder was obtained from an ancient cultivator's site. It records a demon sect technique called Heavenly Demon Transformation into a Fetus."
"Heavenly Demon Transformation into a Fetus? I've never heard of it. What effects does it have?" Lin Xuan frowned, showing some surprise.

"Alone?"

She bowed gracefully towards Lin Xuan with an expression of both guilt and respect on her face, took a deep breath, and transformed into a streak of light to fly off to the left side.
As Lin Xuan said, there was no tracking mark on her. She would naturally be out of danger. The ancient demon, who was tens of millions of miles away, couldn't detect her departure.
Lin Xuan then flicked his sleeves, and a small spirit boat appeared. He stepped onto it, waved his hands, and cast a spell. The light enveloped the spirit boat as it shot towards Tianshanguan City.
Lin Xuan sat cross-legged at the stern of the boat, took out the black jade cylinder, half-closed his eyes, and sank his spirit into it.
Time was running short. Could he master this technique in such a short time? He wasn't very confident.
If he could understand it, that would be ideal; if not, he would have to take a risk and hope that the return of the Moon Black Witch Technique combined with the敛气术 (Concealing Qi Technique) could deceive Tianshanguan City's restrictions. If his identity was exposed, he would use an illusionary escape technique and then think of other ways to escape.
However, time was running out. He had almost no more Ten Thousand Year Spirit Milk. If he used it up without a plan, he would have to take the risk and fight with the ancient demon.
With this thought, Lin Xuan's face turned grim. This old bastard had pushed him into such a predicament.
Revenge is a dish best served cold. If he escaped this time, he would find an opportunity to completely destroy Tianshi Sect.
Lin Xuan’s thoughts raced as he began to comprehend the Heavenly Demon Transformation into a Fetus technique.
Meanwhile, tens of millions of miles away:
Rumbling sounds filled his ears as a grayish-white demon cloud churned violently. Despite its seemingly slow movement, it had already moved several miles in an instant.
This speed was only slightly behind instantaneous teleportation.
Suddenly, the demon cloud stopped, and a figure appeared faintly within it.
After three months of pursuit, even the ancient demon was at his wits' end. Initially, he thought that capturing this mere Divination Realm中期 cultivator would be easy, but with his own hands, as expected.
He never imagined things would be so complicated. Although he didn't know how powerful Wenwen was, his evasion techniques were astonishingly profound and mysterious. He also likely had quick-recovery cultivation pills in hand. After three months of pursuit, he almost caught him several times, only for the small cultivator to escape at the last moment.
His frustration was obvious.
Three months of pursuit had pushed Lin Xuan to the brink, but it had done the same to the ancient demon. At this moment, he found himself in a difficult position.
Firstly, three brothers had died under mysterious circumstances; how could he face them if he gave up?
Secondly, he had already reached the peak of the Divination Realm初期 and couldn't miss out on the Five Yin Absolute Meridian鼎炉 (cauldron).
Finally, after pursuing for three months, giving up would mean all his efforts were in vain. Therefore, no matter what, he must try to catch Lin Xuan.
With these thoughts, the ancient demon's face turned grim. This hateful old man had pushed him into such a predicament.
