“ lǎo zǔ shì huái yí lín xiǎo zi de lái lù ”
“老祖是怀疑林小子的来路”
"Old Patriarch suspects Lin Xiao's origins."
“ lín xiǎo zi lái lì rú hé ， wǒ yě bù qīng chǔ ， bù guò yǒu yì diǎn shì kěn dìng de ， nà yān shān lǎo guài ruò zhēn jiāng qí dàng chéng pǔ tōng de dòng xuán qī gǔ mó ， zhù dìng shì huì dào dà méi de 。”
“林小子来历如何，我也不清楚，不过有一点是肯定的，那燕山老怪若真将其当成普通的洞玄期古魔，注定是会倒大霉的。”
"Lin Xiao's background, I'm not entirely clear on. However, one thing is certain: if that Old Tyrant of Yanshan really treats him as just an ordinary ancient demon of the Profound Void Stage, he will surely meet with a big misfortune."
“ kě jiù suàn rú cǐ ， fù lǎo guài bì jìng shì fēn shén qī ， nán bù chéng hái huì sǐ zài lín xuān de shǒu lǐ ？” fù tiān héng de liǎn shàng lù chū yī sī bù yǐ wéi rán zhī sè， jué de lǎo zǔ zōng jiāng zhè jiàn shì xiǎng dé tài qīng sōng le 。
“可就算如此，付老怪毕竟是分神期，难不成还会死在林轩的手里？”付天衡的脸上lù出一丝不以为然之sè，觉得老祖宗将这件事想得太轻松了。
"But even so, how could Old Tyrant Fu still be at the Spirit Refinement Stage? Could it possibly end up in Lin Xiao's hands?" Master Tianheng's face revealed a hint of disbelief. He thought that the old patriarch had underestimated this matter.
“ shì sǐ shì huó ， xiàn zài hái hěn nán shuō ， ér qiě nà zhāng jìn fǎ fú ， nǐ yǐ wéi lǎo fū méi yǒu zuò shǒu jiǎo me ？”
“是死是活，现在还很难说，而且那张禁法符，你以为老夫没有做手脚么？”
"Whether he lives or dies is hard to say now. Moreover, don't you think I've done something to thatprohibition talisman before giving it to him? It wouldn't be wise for me to let my guard down."
zhè yī qiè lín xuān zì rán bìng bù xiǎo de ， zhè yī cì zài bái fú shèng jǐng zhōng tā kě shì dà shōu huò ， suǒ de bǐ yuán xiān yù xiǎng de yào duō dé duō ， yǒu le zhè xiē bǎo wù ， shù nián hòu de yào wáng gǔ zhī xíng ， lín xuān yě xìn xīn shí zú 。
这一切林轩自然并不晓得，这一次在白浮胜景中他可是大收获，所得比原先预想的要多得多，有了这些宝物，数年后的药王谷之行，林轩也信心十足。
Lin Xiao's expression darkened as he realized how late the discovery was. He had already been caught in a bind despite his best efforts.
bù guò yě yīn cǐ dé zuì le yān shān lǎo zǔ 。
不过也因此得罪了燕山老祖。
"Unlucky," Lin Xiao muttered, his face turning even darker. The only thing that brought some relief was that they were in an uninhabited area rather than a city filled with ancient demons.
lín xuān xiū wèi bǎo wù ， suī rán bǐ shàng cì zāo yù gǔ lǎo mó shí ， jīng jìn le xǔ duō ， rán ér duì shàng fēn shén jí bié de cún zài ， yī jiù méi yǒu bǎ wò 。
林轩修为宝物，虽然比上次遭遇古老魔时，精进了许多，然而对上分神级别的存在，依旧没有把握。
He could now freely use all kinds of secret techniques without fear of being discovered as a human cultivator in such a place.
suǒ yǐ lí kāi bái fú shèng jǐng hòu tā sī háo yě bù dān gē ， lì kè hún shēn qīng máng yì qǐ ， huà wèi yī dào yào yǎn cì mù de jīng hóng chōng tiān ér qù 。
所以离开白浮胜景后他丝毫也不耽搁，立刻浑身青芒一起，化为一道耀眼刺目的惊虹冲天而去。
With this thought, Lin Xiao's mood calmed down.
yǐ lín xuān rú jīn xiū wèi ， dùn guāng zì rán shì nán yǐ xiǎng xiàng de xùn sù ， quán lì jià yù ， jiǎn zhí chēng de shàng fēng chí diàn chè 。
以林轩如今修为，遁光自然是难以想象的迅速，全力驾驭，简直称得上风驰电掣。
"Regardless, I'm lucky enough," he thought to himself. "There's no need to feel depressed here."
duǎn duǎn xiǎo bàn tiān de gōng fu ， yǐ jīng pǎo chū bǎi wàn lǐ zhī yáo 。
短短小半天的功夫，已经跑出百万里之遥。
Facing an enemy at the Spirit Refinement Stage, Lin Xiao was not going to take any chances. He took a deep breath and let go of the demon energy surrounding his body. The spiritual light suddenly burst out in a powerful display.
yìng rù yǎn lián de jǐng wù ， nà shì yuè fā de huāng wú 。
映入眼帘的景物，那是越发的荒芜。
He raised his right hand and flicked it, sending dozens of sword lights from his sleeves rushing towards him. These were the Nine Palaces Momentary Swords, numbering over eighty-one, each radiating with spiritual light.
táng jiè de huán jìng ， suī rán bù xiàng chuán yán zhōng de nà yàng kě bù ， dàn jiù zhěng tǐ qíng kuàng lái shuō ， què shí hái shì yào bǐ líng jiè è liè yī xiē de 。
唐界的环境，虽然不像传言中的那样可怖，但就整体情况来说，确实还是要比灵界恶劣一些的。
Lin Xiao clutched his hands together, splitting the immortal swords into two streams. One part converged in the middle to form a layer of sword formations around his body, while the other spread outwards, spiraling and dancing through the air.
lín xuān shēn shǒu zài yāo jiān yī pāi ， qǔ chū yī hēi sè de yù tóng jiǎn ， jiāng shén shí chén rù lǐ miàn 。
林轩伸手在腰间一拍，取出一黑sè的玉瞳简，将神识沉入里面。
However, before he could use any more techniques, magic lights appeared on the horizon from the direction of the sky. It was indeed Old Tyrant Yanshan who had caught up with him.
zhè shì fāng yuán shù qiān yá lǐ de dì xíng tú ， lín xuān xiǎng yào cóng zhōng xún zhǎo yí gè hé shì de qù chù 。
这是方圆数千牙里的地形图，林轩想要从中寻找一个合适的去处。
"Such speed!"
rán ér cái guò le jǐ xī de gōng fu ， lín xuān sà rán tái qǐ tóu lú ， liǎn sè yī xià zi biàn dé fēi cháng yán sù 。
然而才过了几息的功夫，林轩飒然抬起头颅，脸sè一下子变得非常严肃。
Lin Xiao sighed inwardly as two magical treasures flew out from his sleeves, grasped by his hands: the Soul-Stealing Drum and the Soul-Lost Goblet.
yī gǔ páng dà de qì xī zhèng xùn sù cháo zhe zhè biān jiē jìn zhe 。
一股庞大的气息正迅速朝着这边接近着。
These were powerful demonic treasures, but Lin Xiao had never used them. His knowledge was vast, embracing both Daoist and demon techniques, cultivation methods, beast transformations, and Buddhist teachings. He could use whatever suited the situation best.
ér qiě ， fēi cháng shú 。
而且，非常熟。
The demonic lights approached from over a hundred feet away. Lin Xiao saw clearly that it was indeed Old Tyrant Yanshan.
yān shān lǎo zǔ ！
燕山老祖！
Lin Xiao had no interest in chatting first.
lín xuān de liǎn sè， yī xià zi biàn dé yǒu xiē yīn mái le ， zhè lǎo jiā huǒ ， hái yì zhí yīnhún bù sàn me ？
林轩的脸sè，一下子变得有些yīn霾了，这老家伙，还一直yīnhún不散么？
"Strike first," he thought. He first deployed the Soul-Lost Goblet, which flew to his front with black smoke emanating around it. The goblet rapidly grew from a fist-sized object into a large one over ten feet wide.
kě lí kāi bái fú shèng jǐng hòu ， zì jǐ jiù yì zhí bù tíng de gǎn lù ， àn lǐ shuō ， yīng gāi yǐ jīng shuǎi diào zhè lǎo guài wù ， tā zěn me huì zhǎo shàng mén lái ne ？
可离开白浮胜景后，自己就一直不停的赶路，按理说，应该已经甩掉这老怪物，他怎么会找上门来呢？
Lin Xiao punched at the drum's surface while raising his left hand and sending a spell towards the Nine Palaces Momentary Swords in front of him.
chú le yí huò hái shì yí huò， nán dào shuō …… tā zài zì jǐ shēn shàng xià le zhuī zōng biāo jì lái zhe ？
除了疑huò还是疑huò，难道说……他在自己身上下了追踪标记来着？
Swoosh! Swoosh!
zhè shì lín xuān wéi yī néng xiǎng dào de hé lǐ jiě shì le 。
这是林轩唯一能想到的合理解释了。
The swords, like meteors, rushed towards the old demon from all directions.
lián máng jiāng shén shí fàng chū ， zài zì jǐ hún shēn shàng xià sōu suǒ ， rán ér què méi yǒu fēn háo de shōu huò ， lín xuān yī shēng nù hè ， jiāng fǎ lì chóng xīn xiàng zhe shuāng mù zhù rù jìn qù le 。
连忙将神识放出，在自己浑身上下搜索，然而却没有分毫的收获，林轩一声怒喝，将法力重新向着双目注入进去了。
"Such...?"
yín máng dà zuò ， tiān fèng shén mù bǐ shén shí jù yǒu gèng hǎo de xiào guǒ ， zhè yī cì ， zǒng suàn zhǎo dào le xiǎng yào de shì wù ， zài zì jǐ de yī jiǎo zhī chù ， bèi bié rén shī le zhuī zōng de mì shù 。
银芒大做，天凤神目比神识具有更好的效果，这一次，总算找到了想要的事物，在自己的衣角之处，被别人施了追踪的秘术。
Old Tyrant Yanshan was stunned. He was also startled by Lin Xiao's attack, but more so by its unpredictability.
kě wù ！
可恶！
When Lin Xiao had suddenly unleashed his power earlier, it had frightened him. This kid wasn't just a cultivator; he might be an infiltrator from the Holy Realm?
cháng nián dǎ yàn ， méi xiǎng dào jīn ér què bèi yàn zhuó diào yǎn jīng le 。
常年打雁，没想到今儿却被雁啄掉眼睛了。
Furious!
lín xuān yòu shǒu tái qǐ ， shì huǎn shí jí de xiàng zhe yī jiǎo zhuā qù 。
林轩右手抬起，似缓实急的向着衣角抓去。
Before his thoughts could fully form, Lin Xiao's attack struck. The Soul-Lost Goblet was the first to arrive, and with a dull thud, black sound waves spread outwards, enveloping the area.
yī dào qīng xiá cóng zhǐ zhǎng jiān fēi lüè ér chū ， rào zhe nà yī jiǎo yī juàn yī guǒ ， yī tuán dòu lì dà xiǎo de hēi sè qì tuán píng kōng fú xiàn ér chū 。
一道青霞从指掌间飞掠而出，绕着那衣角一卷一裹，一团豆粒大小的黑sè气团凭空浮现而出。
These were undoubtedly genuine demonic treasures!
suí hòu qīng xiá huà wèi le liè huǒ ， jiāng hēi qì liàn huà zuò xū wú 。
随后青霞化为了烈火，将黑气炼化做虚无。
Old Tyrant Yanshan was confused. How could humans control their Holy Realm treasures? Was this kid human or from the Holy Realm?
zhuī zōng mì shù suī rán bèi huǐ le ， rán miàn lín xuān liǎn shàng què bìng méi yǒu xǐ sè。
追踪秘术虽然被毁了，然面林轩脸上却并没有喜sè。
Despite his doubts, he reacted swiftly. A cold snort sounded as he didn't use any magical treasures but merely released a thick layer of protective demon energy.
yīn wèi fā xiàn tài wǎn de yuán gù ， tā yǐ jīng lái bù jí táo tuō 。
因为发现太晚的缘故，他已经来不及逃脱。
Could sound attacks penetrate through his protective barrier?
méi xiǎng dào zì jǐ yǐ bǎi bān zhù yì le ， zuì hòu hái shì zhè ge jié guǒ 。
没想到自己已百般注意了，最后还是这个结果。
Old Tyrant Yanshan's face showed arrogance. He had every right to be so confident.
shuō bù yù mèn ， nà kěn dìng shì piàn rén ， lín xuān liǎn sèyīn mái dé yào sǐ ， yào shuō wéi yī zhí de qìng xìng zhī chù ， jiù shì zhè lǐ dì chǔ huāng wú ， ér bú shì zài gǔ mó zhòng duō de chéng chí zhī zhōng 。
说不郁闷，那肯定是骗人，林轩脸sèyīn霾得要死，要说唯一值得庆幸之处，就是这里地处荒芜，而不是在古魔众多的城池之中。
The black sound waves cracked the ground and even caused mountains to collapse, showing the power of demonic realm treasures, especially those with group attack capabilities.
zì jǐ kě yǐ háo bù shuò jì de shī zhǎn gè zhǒng mì shù ， fǒu zé ， ruò shì zài mó chéng zhōng bèi bié rén fā xiàn zì jǐ shì rén lèi xiū xiān zhě ， nà shí hòu xū yào miàn duì de ， jiù bú shì yí gè yān shān lǎo zǔ ， ér shì zài mó jiè wú fǎ lì zú 。
自己可以毫不硕忌的施展各种秘术，否则，若是在魔城中被别人发现自己是人类修仙者，那时候需要面对的，就不是一个燕山老祖，而是在魔界无法立足。
However, they couldn't harm Old Tyrant Yanshan as they were immediately bounced back by his protective barrier.
xīn zhōng rú cǐ xiǎng zhe ， lín xuān xīn xù yòu chóng xīn píng jìng xià qù 。
心中如此想着，林轩心绪又重新平静下去。
"Wait! You are either a human spy or from my Holy Realm. What's the difference?"
cóng zhè ge jiǎo dù lái shuō ， zì jǐ yùn qì hái bú cuò ， hé bì zài zhè lǐ shǎ shǎ de yù mèn shén me 。
从这个角度来说，自己运气还不错，何必在这里傻傻的郁闷什么。
"There is none."
bīng lái jiāng dǎng shuǐ lái tǔ yǎn ， dāng chū miàn duì tiān shī mén gǔ lǎo mó ， nà yàng wēi jī de qíng kuàng dōu dù guò ， rú jīn shí lì bǎo wù jiē zēng qiáng le xǔ duō ， hái pà yí gè yān shān lǎo zǔ ？
兵来将挡水来土掩，当初面对天尸门古老魔，那样危机的情况都渡过，如今实力宝物皆增强了许多，还怕一个燕山老祖？
Lin Xiao's lips curled in sarcasm and he didn't pause to think further. The Nine Palaces Momentary Swords flew towards him.
zhèng hǎo shì yī shì zì jǐ de shí lì jiū jìng rú hé 。
正好试一试自己的实力究竟如何。
Old Tyrant Yanshan, despite his poor character, had keen eyesight. He immediately recognized the fiery sword as a powerful weapon, far superior to the Soul-Lost Goblet.
lín xuān xīn zhōng rú cǐ xiǎng zhe ， gè zhǒng fù miàn qíng xù xùn sù píng fù ， chóng xīn biàn dé qì dìng shén xián qǐ lái le 。
林轩心中如此想着，各种负面情绪迅速平复，重新变得气定神闲起来了。
At this moment, it was too late to use magical treasures for mutual attacks. Old Tyrant Yanshan flicked his right hand and sent out a piece of black cloth from his fingers.
dòu fǎ zhī shí ， zhè xīn tài rú hé ， yī yàng shì hěn zhòng yào de 。
斗法之时，这心态如何，一样是很重要的。
The Nine Palaces Momentary Swords struck at the cloth but all landed in empty space.
lín xuān xīn zhōng jì rán zuò chū le jué zé ， dāng rán yě jiù bù zài yóu yù shén me ， shēn shēn hū xī ， bāo guǒ zài shēn tǐ zhōu wéi de mó qì jiàn jiàn xiāo sàn kāi qù ， suí hòu líng guāng zhòu qǐ ， kāi shǐ hái bù duō ， suí hòu què rú tóng jǐng pēn yì bān de hōng rán bào fā diào le 。
林轩心中既然做出了抉择，当然也就不再犹豫什么，深深呼吸，包裹在身体周围的魔气渐渐消散开去，随后灵光骤起，开始还不多，随后却如同井喷一般的轰然爆发掉了。
"Space treasure!"
miàn duì qiáng dí ， lín xuān bù gǎn yǒu sī háo dà yì ， fǎn zhèng duì fāng yě bù dǎ suàn fàng guò zì jǐ ， cǐ chù yòu shí fēn huāng pì ， suǒ yǐ bào lù xiū xiān zhě de shēn fèn yě méi yǒu guān xì 。
面对强敌，林轩不敢有丝毫大意，反正对方也不打算放过自己，此处又十分荒僻，所以暴lù修仙者的身份也没有关系。
Lin Xiao's eyes glowed with recognition, identifying the opponent's treasure type instantly.
suí hòu tā yòu shǒu tái qǐ ， xiù páo zhè me qīng qīng yī fú ， shù shí dào jiàn guāng cóng yī xiù zhōng fēng yōng ér chū ， yíng fēng yī shǎn ， xùn sù biàn dà le qǐ lái 。
随后他右手抬起，袖袍这么轻轻一拂，数十道剑光从衣袖中蜂拥而出，迎风一闪，迅速变大了起来。
If it were an ordinary cultivator, this might have been troublesome, but not for him.
jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn ， gòng jiǔ jiǔ bā shí yī bǐng zhī duō ， líng guāng àng rán 。
九宫须臾剑，共九九八十一柄之多，灵光盎然。
Lin Xiao raised his right hand and the spear given to him by the Snow Fox King appeared. However, a sound like popping beans filled his ears.
lín xuān shuāng shǒu yī wò ， xiān jiàn fēn wéi liǎng gǔ ， yī bù fèn wǎng zhōng jiān jù hé ， zài tā shēn tǐ zhōu wéi bù xià céng céng jiàn zhèn ， lìng wài yī bù fèn zé xiàng zhe sì zhōu sàn kāi ， huà wèi yī dào dào yáo guāng pán xuán fēi wǔ qǐ lái 。
林轩双手一握，仙剑分为两股，一部分往中间聚合，在他身体周围布下层层剑阵，另外一部分则向着四周散开，化为一道道瑶光盘旋飞舞起来。
"What...?"
miàn duì fēn shén qī lǎo guài wù ， lín xuān de shǒu duàn dāng rán bù zhǐ yú cǐ 。
面对分神期老怪物，林轩的手段当然不止于此。
A bad feeling flashed across Lin Xiao's mind as silver light erupted from his eyes. Though he couldn't see everything clearly this time, he did notice countless ghost heads appearing in the clouds.
rán ér qí tā de shén tōng hái lái bù jí shǐ chū ， tiān biān jiù yǒu mó guāng shǎn dòng ， nà wèi yān shān lǎo zǔ jǐ jīng zhuī le shàng lái 。
然而其他的神通还来不及使出，天边就有魔光闪动，那位燕山老祖己经追了上来。
Roar!
hǎo kuài ！
好快！
The wind howled as those ghost heads suddenly opened their blood-filled mouths and spat out multicolored flames. These demonic flames were of various types but each was incredibly powerful and fast.
lín xuān àn àn tàn le kǒu qì ， liǎng jiàn fǎ bǎo cóng yī xiù zhōng huá luò ér chū ， bèi tā shēn shǒu wò zhù ， zhèng shì zhuī hún duó mìng zhēn yǔ shī hún gǔ 。
林轩暗暗叹了口气，两件法宝从衣袖中滑落而出，被他伸手握住，正是追hún夺命针与失hún鼓。
Lin Xiao had no time to counter the opponent's treasure; his priority was to save himself.
zhè liǎng jiàn mó bǎo wēi néng fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， rán ér dé dào zhī hòu zì jǐ què cóng lái méi yǒu yòng guò ， lín xuān suǒ xué guǎng bó ， zhèng mó jiān xiū ， liàn tǐ shù ， yāo huà shén tōng ， fú zōng gōng fǎ ， jī hū dōu shè liè guò ， yǔ rén dòng shǒu ， dào yě bù yòng jū yú yī gé ， shén me hé shì yòng shén me 。
这两件魔宝威能非同小可，然而得到之后自己却从来没有用过，林轩所学广博，正魔兼修，炼体术，妖化神通，佛宗功法，几乎都涉猎过，与人动手，倒也不用拘于一格，什么合适用什么。
His face turned pale, and without hesitation, he stepped left with incredible speed.
xià yī kè ， nà mó guāng yǐ lái dào le shēn qián bǎi yú zhàng yuǎn chù ， lín xuān kàn de qīng qīng chǔ chǔ ， guǒ rán shì yān shān lǎo zǔ 。
下一刻，那魔光已来到了身前百余丈远处，林轩看得清清楚楚，果然是燕山老祖。
Ripples appeared in mid-air as Lin Xiao used a spatial technique: Nine Heaven Quick Steps.
lín xuān zì rán méi yǒu xìng qù yǔ duì fāng xiān liáo shàng yī huì er 。
林轩自然没有兴趣与对方先聊上一会儿。
Boom!
xiān xià shǒu wéi qiáng ， hòu xià shǒu zāo yāng ， fǎn zhèng liǎng rén de máo dùn yě bù kě tiáo hé ， shuō shén me dōu méi yǒu yòng chǔ 。
先下手为强，后下手遭殃，反正两人的矛盾也不可调和，说什么都没有用处。
The demonic flames passed through. Fortunately, Lin Xiao had already dodged over a hundred feet away, but the mountain behind him was not so lucky; it was hit and disintegrated into nothingness under the power of those demonic flames!
"Old Patriarch suspects Lin Xiao's origins."
"Lin Xiao's background, I'm not entirely clear on. However, one thing is certain: if that Old Tyrant of Yanshan really treats him as just an ordinary ancient demon of the Profound Void Stage, he will surely meet with a big misfortune."
"But even so, how could Old Tyrant Fu still be at the Spirit Refinement Stage? Could it possibly end up in Lin Xiao's hands?" Master Tianheng's face revealed a hint of disbelief. He thought that the old patriarch had underestimated this matter.

He could now freely use all kinds of secret techniques without fear of being discovered as a human cultivator in such a place.
With this thought, Lin Xiao's mood calmed down.
"Regardless, I'm lucky enough," he thought to himself. "There's no need to feel depressed here."

"Strike first," he thought. He first deployed the Soul-Lost Goblet, which flew to his front with black smoke emanating around it. The goblet rapidly grew from a fist-sized object into a large one over ten feet wide.
Lin Xiao punched at the drum's surface while raising his left hand and sending a spell towards the Nine Palaces Momentary Swords in front of him.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
