rán ér cǐ shí cǐ kè ， gǔ lǎo mó de liǎn shàng què lù chū jǐ fēn chà yì zhī sè， zì yán zì yǔ de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ：“ nà xiǎo zi táo pǎo de sù dù ， zěn me tū rán màn xià lái le ， nán dào shì yǒu shén me yīn móu guǐ jì bù chéng me ？”
然而此时此刻，古老魔的脸上却lù出几分诧异之sè，自言自语的声音传入耳朵：“那小子逃跑的速度，怎么突然慢下来了，难道是有什么yīn谋诡计不成么？”
However, at this moment, the ancient demon's face showed a hint of surprise. His voice, filled with self-talk, entered Lin Xuan's ears: "Why has that brat suddenly slowed down in his escape? Could there be some hidden plot or trick?"
yǐ shǒu fǔ é ， lǎo guài wù de liǎn shàng lù chū jǐ fēn chén yín zhī sè。
以手抚额，老怪物的脸上lù出几分沉吟之sè。
He rubbed his forehead with his hand, and a look of contemplation appeared on his face.
bù guò hěn kuài jiù bèi lěng xiào suǒ dài tì le ：“ jiù suàn yǒu yīn móu yòu rú hé ， qū qū yī míng dòng xuán qī xiū xiān zhě ， hái fān dé le tiān me ？ｎ
不过很快就被冷笑所代替了：“就算有yīn谋又如何，区区一名洞玄期修仙者，还翻得了天么？ｎ
But soon, a sneer replaced it. "Even if there is a hidden plot, what can one do about it? A mere Dao玄期 cultivator, how could he overturn the heavens?"
suí hòu tā bù zài duō zuò sī suǒ ， hún shēn shàng xià ， zài cì bèi huī bái sè de mó qì bāo guǒ ， huà wèi yī dào cǎn bái sè de jīng hóng ， xiàng qián fāng fēi lüè ér qù le 。
随后他不再多做思索，浑身上下，再次被灰白sè的魔气包裹，化为一道惨白sè的惊虹，像前方飞掠而去了。
Without further ado, he enveloped himself in gray-white demonic energy and transformed into a pale streak of light that shot forward.
shù shí wàn lǐ zhī wài ， lín xuān huǎn huǎn de tái qǐ le tóu lái 。
数十万里之外，林轩缓缓的抬起了头来。
Several hundred miles away, Lin Xuan slowly raised his head. He breathed a sigh of relief; fortunately, the heavens had not made things difficult for him at this crucial moment.
liǎn shàng de biǎo qíng dà sōng le yì kǒu qì ， lǎo tiān yé zǒng suàn méi yǒu zài zuì guān jiàn de shí kè wéi nán zì jǐ 。
脸上的表情大松了一口气，老天爷总算没有在最关键的时刻为难自己。
Lucky as it was, Zheng Xu's description of the technique, the Heavenly Demon Incarnation Art, was accurate. It could scatter all the magical energy in one’s meridians to the dantian and even make the core temporarily vanish. This technique was truly a new path; no matter how refined the art of gathering qi might be, it couldn't compare.
yùn qì shuā kē ， nà tiān mó huà yīng ** suī rán shì dòng xuán qī xiū xiān zhě cái néng xiū liàn de mì shù ， mén kǎn suàn shì gòu gāo le ， dàn nán de yě jǐn jǐn shì zhè mén kǎn ér yǐ ， yí dàn xiū wèi dá dào le dòng xuán qī ， cān wù qǐ lái kě yǐ shuō shì fēi cháng róng yì 。
运气刷苛，那天魔化婴**虽然是洞玄期修仙者才能修炼的秘术，门槛算是够高了，但难的也仅仅是这门槛而已，一旦修为达到了洞玄期，参悟起来可以说是非常容易。
For gathering qi merely meant containment, but if he encountered a powerful cultivator, it would likely reveal itself. However, once this technique was successfully practiced, all magical energy and the core would become intangible. Even an old monster at the Transcendation stage wouldn’t notice anything amiss.
jiù zhè duǎn duǎn xiǎo bàn gè shí chén de gōng fu ， lín xuān yǐ jiāng cǐ gōng fǎ lǐ jiě tòu chè 。
就这短短小半个时辰的功夫，林轩已将此功法理解透彻。
In other words, fooling the禁制 of Wind Heaven City shouldn't be a problem either.
biǎo miàn shàng kàn ， cǐ mì shù méi yǒu shén me nán dù ， rán ér lín xuān duì nà chuàng lì gōng fǎ de gǔ xiū ， què pèi fú dé wǔ tǐ tóu dì 。
表面上看，此秘术没有什么难度，然而林轩对那创立功法的古修，却佩服得五体投地。
Lin Xuan felt extremely pleased with himself as he retracted his灵舟 and emitted a burst of vitality. He flew towards Wind Heaven City.
zhèng xuán de miáo shù ， méi yǒu fēn háo kuā dà zhī chù ， cǐ gōng fǎ bù jǐn néng jiāng jīng mài zhōng de fǎ lì ， jìn shù sàn dào **， lián yuán yīng yě kě yǐ duǎn shí jiān nèi huà wèi wú xíng 。
郑璇的描述，没有分毫夸大之处，此功法不仅能将经脉中的法力，尽数散到**，连元婴也可以短时间内化为无形。
Not long after, the city came into view. It was grand and imposing, exuding an awe-inspiring aura that stretched endlessly. Lin Xuan couldn’t use his divine sense to determine its size. But it was undoubtedly no less formidable than any other cultivator city.
zhè zhǒng mì shù ， jiǎn zhí shì lìng pì diē jìng ， zài xuán miào de liǎn qì zhī shù ， yě méi yǒu bàn fǎ yǔ qí xiāng bǐ 。
这种秘术，简直是另辟跌径，再玄妙的敛气之术，也没有办法与其相比。
Unlike immortal cities, as a place for ordinary people, Wind Heaven City wouldn't have any禁空禁制. However, the sky wasn't empty; from time to time, streaks of light could be seen, belonging to demonified beings. The city gates were open and accessible.
yīn wèi liǎn qì ， jǐn jǐn shì shōu liǎn ér yǐ ， rú guǒ zhēn yǔ gāo rén xiāng yù ， shí yǒu ** hái shì huì bào lù dì 。
因为敛气，仅仅是收敛而已，如果真与高人相遇，十有**还是会暴lù地。
However, Lin Xuan noticed that on the hundred-meter-high walls, there were guards patrolling at regular intervals.
kě tiān mó huà yīng ** bù tóng ， yí dàn xiū liàn chéng gōng ， shī zhǎn cǐ shù ， hún shēn de fǎ lì yǔ yuán yīng jiē guī yú wú xíng ， jiù suàn shì dù jié qī lǎo guài wù ， kǒng pà yě kàn bù chū fēn háo duān ní 。
可天魔化婴**不同，一旦修炼成功，施展此术，浑身的法力与元婴皆归于无形，就算是渡劫期老怪物，恐怕也看不出分毫端倪。
The city's defenses were formidable indeed.
huàn jù huà shuō ， piàn guò tiān fēng chéng de jìn zhì gèng bú huì yǒu wèn tí 。
换句话说，骗过天风城的禁制更不会有问题。
Lin Xuan felt satisfied. The stronger Wind Heaven City was, the more likely he would be able to escape the ancient demon’s pursuit. Of course, whether or not this would turn out well remained uncertain. After all, an old monster of his level was no ordinary matter; Lin Xuan wasn't sure if a mere mortal city could withstand it.
lín xuān xīn zhōng zì rán shì jí wéi huān xǐ 。
林轩心中自然是极为欢喜。
But even if the ancient demon didn’t stop, he wouldn’t mind. With these demonified beings, he might be able to drain some of its magical energy.
jiāng líng zhōu yī shōu ， hún shēn fēng máng dà qǐ ， xiàng tiān fēng chéng fēi lüè ér qù 。
将灵舟一收，浑身丰芒大起，像天风城飞掠而去。
A full-strength Transcendation cultivator was beyond his reach, but if that strength were weakened, there might be a chance for him to triumph in battle.
hěn kuài ， jù lí gāi chéng yǐ jīng bù yuǎn ， lín xuān zài jiāo wài jiāng dùn guāng tíng le xià lái 。
很快，距离该城已经不远，林轩在郊外将遁光停了下来。
This was all part of luring the ancient demon eastward.
lín xuān jiāng shén shí fàng chū ， fā xiàn fù jìn hái shì hěn ān jìng de ， yú shì suí biàn zhǎo le yí gè dì fāng jiàng luò xià lái ， kāi shǐ shī zhǎn tiān mó huà yīng ** le 。
林轩将神识放出，发现附近还是很安静的，于是随便找了一个地方降落下来，开始施展天魔化婴**了。
Of course, if the ancient demon could retreat knowing it would face difficulty, Lin Xuan would welcome such an outcome as well.
shì jiè shàng méi yǒu rèn hé dōng xī shì shí quán fēng měi de 。
世界上没有任何东西是十全丰美的。
君子报仇，十年不晚。如今他还没有与分神期修士火并的把握。
zhè tiān mó huà yīng ** suī rán xuán miào yǐ jí ， dàn quē diǎn yě shì shí fēn míng xiǎn dì 。
这天魔化婴**虽然玄妙以极，但缺点也是十分明显地。
如今他的“陷阱”已经设好，就看对方会做怎样的选择了。
jiù shì shī zhǎn cǐ shù ， bìng bú shì shùn jiān jiù néng gòu wán chéng le ， ér shì xū yào yì diǎn shí jiān cái kě 。
就是施展此术，并不是瞬间就能够完成了，而是需要一点时间才可。
Lin Xuan gritted his teeth and walked towards the city gates. Although he was confident in the Heavenly Demon Incarnation Art, it was impossible to say that he wasn't nervous.
lǎo guài wù cǐ kè jù lí zì jǐ dà yuē hái yǒu èr shí wàn lǐ ， shí jiān shàng yīng gāi lái de jí 。
老怪物此刻距离自己大约还有二十万里，时间上应该来得及。
Wind Heaven City was merciless toward cultivators, and its surrounding禁制 could distinguish between cultivators and mortals. Even a fraction of the灵动期 couldn’t escape. Could he successfully pass through undetected?
lín xuān xī le kǒu qì ， kǒu zhōng tǔ chū dī bù kě wén de zhòu yǔ ， shuāng shǒu tái qǐ ， fǎ yìn bù tíng de biàn huàn ， hún shēn shàng xià guāng yùn liú zhuǎn ， jiē zhe yī zhèn qīng wēi de bào liè shēng chuán lái 。
林轩吸了口气，口中吐出低不可闻的咒语，双手抬起，法印不停的变幻，浑身上下光晕流转，接着一阵轻微的爆裂声传来。
This was the most critical step in his plan; success or failure depended on this moment.
yuè lái yuè mì jí ， lín xuān hún shēn shàng xià de líng guāng yě liú zhuǎn bù yǐ ， yóu qīng biàn hóng ， yóu hóng biàn zǐ ， yòu guò piàn kè ， nà guāng yùn cái jiàn jiàn de juān dàn suàn qù le 。
越来越密集，林轩浑身上下的灵光也流转不已，由青变红，由红变紫，又过片刻，那光晕才渐渐的镌淡算去了。
The city gates were enormous, capable of accommodating dozens of carts. Although Lin Xuan was tense inside, he showed no signs of it on the outside. The result was a smooth entry into the city.
lín xuān de shēn yǐng chóng xīn qīng xī 。
林轩的身影重新清晰。
Several thousand miles away, a gray-white streak of light shot across the sky. The ancient demon's expression grew more astonished as his opponent moved so slowly now.
biǎo miàn shàng kàn ， bìng méi yǒu shén me bù tuǒ ， rán ér cǐ shí cǐ kè ， tā hún shēn shàng xià lián yì diǎn líng lì yě wú ， shèn zhì lián yuán yīng yǔ yāo dān dōu huà wèi le xū wú 。
表面上看，并没有什么不妥，然而此时此刻，他浑身上下连一点灵力也无，甚至连元婴与妖丹都化为了虚无。
It didn't seem like flying; rather, it looked like walking. What did he want to do?
jiǎn dān de shuō ， cǐ shí cǐ kè ， tā jiù yǔ yī míng fán rén chà bu duō 。
简单的说，此时此刻，他就与一名凡人差不多。
Despite his surprise, the old demon, with his mindset of not underestimating any situation, didn't slow down in the least.
zhǐ yào tā zì jǐ bù yùn yòng fǎ lì ， yīng gāi méi yǒu rén kě yǐ kàn chū duān ní 。
只要他自己不运用法力，应该没有人可以看出端倪。
Regardless of what hidden plots and tricks the other party might have, they were insignificant against his overwhelming power.
lín xuān liǎn shàng lù chū mǎn yì zhī sè， yě bù dān lǘ ， xùn sù xiàng tiān fēng chéng zǒu qù le 。
林轩脸上lù出满意之sè，也不耽榈，迅速像天风城走去了。
Three months of pursuit had already drained the ancient demon's patience. He just hoped Lin Xuan wouldn’t run away. As long as the opponent was willing to stop for a battle, he would jump in without hesitation, even if he knew there was a hidden plot.
yuē yī zhǎn chá de gōng fu yǐ hòu ， yī zuò jù dà de chéng chí yìng rù yǎn lián 。
约一盏茶的功夫以后，一座巨大的城池映入眼帘。
This wasn't because the ancient demon was foolish; it was due to his arrogance. The gap between Dao玄 and Transcendation was too vast.
gāo dà wēi é ， yī gǔ jīng rén de qì shì mí sàn ér chū 。
高大巍峨，一股惊人的气势弥散而出。
Even an advanced Dao玄 cultivator couldn’t pose much of a threat with full effort. Even if that brat were stronger, he wouldn’t understand how terrifying such existence could be without experience against a Transcendence cultivator.
fàng yǎn wàng qù ， wú biān wú jì ， yóu yú bù gǎn fàng chū shén shí ， lín xuān yě bù xiǎo de ， cǐ chéng de miàn jī ， jiū jìng dào le zěn yàng de jìng dì 。
放眼望去，无边无际，由于不敢放出神识，林轩也不晓得，此城的面积，究竟到了怎样的境地。
You go ahead and set your traps; when Old Man arrives, you'll find out just how wrong you are. Your trap will become your grave.
dàn jué duì bù shū rèn hé yī zuò xiū shì chéng chí ， zhè yì diǎn jué wú kě yí zhī chù 。
但绝对不输任何一座修士城池，这一点绝无可疑之处。
PS: The Hun Lord of Helan Mountain rewarded another 100,000起点币. Thank you, Hun Lord! You're too generous, like sending charcoal in winter. Thanks a lot. Phantom Rain will strive to improve. Also, thank all the fellow daoists for your support with monthly tickets. Phantom Rain thanks everyone. We still have seven hours left; although the situation is good now, we can't relax. The competition for monthly tickets gets fiercer as time goes on. Please check if you still have any and cast them over!

与仙城不同，天风城作为凡人的聚居之所，当然不会布置禁空禁制什么，然而天空却并不寂寞，不时可以看见一道道光华掠过，那些都是妖化者。
