一时间，聚集在这里的魔族修仙者，不论修为高低，一个个的表情，都敬畏以极。?随夢小說?,.com
In an instant, the魔族 cultivators gathered here, regardless of their cultivation levels, all wore expressions of utmost reverence. FollowDreamNovel.com
fēn shén qī ， nà kě shì chuán shuō zhōng de dà néng cún zài 。
分神期，那可是传说中的大能存在。
Phase One Consciousness realm—these were legendary great existences.
suī shuō líng yuán gǔ yì biàn ， měi yī cì dū huì yǒu fēn shén jí bié de jiā huo jiè rù 。
虽说灵源谷异变，每一次都会有分神级别的家伙介入。
Although there would always be Phase One Consciousness cultivators involved in the anomalies at Spirit Source Valley, it was just hearsay.
rán ér nà bì jìng zhǐ shì chuán yán 。
然而那毕竟只是传言。
Most cultivators, even those at the Profound Void stage, rarely had the chance to see a Phase One Consciousness existence throughout their entire lives. The ancient demons present were extremely complex in their expressions—surprised, bewildered, envious—but most of all, reverent.
jué dà duō shù xiū xiān zhě ， nǎ pà shì dòng xuán jí bié de ， zhōng qí yī shēng ， yě hěn nán yǒu jī huì kàn jiàn fēn shén qī dà néng ， yī shí jiān ， zhòng gǔ mó de biǎo qíng fù zá yǐ jí ， jīng yà ， máng rán ， xiàn mù ， bù guò chóng jìng jū rán zuì duō 。
绝大多数修仙者，哪怕是洞玄级别的，终其一生，也很难有机会看见分神期大能，一时间，众古魔的表情复杂以极，惊讶，茫然，羡慕，不过崇敬居然最多。
In the demon realm, there was more bloodshed and brutality than in the spirit realm. Ancient demons, who were more ferocious and combative than human cultivators, revered strength above all else.
mó jiè bǐ líng jiè gèng duō xīng fēng xuè yǔ ， xiōng cán hào dòu de gǔ mó ， yě bǐ rén lèi xiū shì gèng chóng bài qiáng zhě 。
魔界比灵界更多腥风血雨，凶残好斗的古魔，也比人类修士更崇拜强者。
With such a presence involved, even if an extraordinary treasure emerged, it would definitely not be for them.
yǒu zhè zhǒng jí bié de cún zài jiè rù ， jí shǐ yì bǎo chū shì yě kěn dìng méi yǒu zì jǐ de fèn le 。
有这种级别的存在介入，即使异宝出世也肯定没有自己的份了。
However, these fellows did not want to leave. Meeting with stronger beings was considered good fortune; two Phase One Consciousness existences should be able to resolve the mystery of this place.
rán ér zhè xiē jiā huo què shě bù dé lí qù ， yǔ qiáng zhě xiāng yù yě suàn yī zhǒng jī yuán ， liǎng wèi fēn shén qī qiáng zhě ， yīng gāi néng jiāng cǐ dì de mí tuán jiě chú 。
然而这些家伙却舍不得离去，与强者相遇也算一种机缘，两位分神期强者，应该能将此地的谜团解除。
People are naturally curious, and even without a share in the spoils, they wanted to see what extraordinary treasure had appeared.
rén dōu yǒu hào qí ， jí biàn méi yǒu zì jǐ de fèn ， yě xiǎng kàn kàn jiū jìng shì shén me yì bǎo chū shì 。
人都有好奇，即便没有自己的份，也想看看究竟是什么异宝出世。
The two streaks of light moved incredibly fast. Initially at the horizon, they soon arrived before them.
nà liǎng dào dùn guāng jí wéi xùn sù ， kāi shǐ shàng zài tiān biān ， zhuǎn yǎn ， què yǐ jīng lái dào le yǎn qián 。
那两道遁光极为迅速，开始尚在天边，转眼，却已经来到了眼前。
The lights dimmed, revealing two demon cultivators—a man dressed in black robes with an elegant appearance, around thirty years old, and a woman who was extremely alluring, though she also possessed a certain down-to-earth charm.
guāng máng shōu liǎn ， lù chū le yī nán yī nǚ liǎng wèi mó zú de xiū xiān zhě 。
光芒收敛，露出了一男一女两位魔族的修仙者。
From their appearances alone, there was nothing particularly remarkable about the two. However, their spiritual pressure was undeniably that of Phase One Consciousness beings. The man in particular was more formidable than his female companion, being at the middle stage of Phase One Consciousness.
nán de shēn chuān hēi sè cháng páo ， xiàng mào pǒ wèi rú yǎ ， dà yuē sān shí chū tóu nián jì ， zhì yú nà nǚ zǐ de dǎ bàn ， zé yāo yì yǐ jí ， ér qiě pǒ yǒu fán fēn zī sè ， yī fù chōng mǎn mèi huò de yàng zi 。
男的身穿黑色长袍，相貌颇为儒雅，大约三十出头年纪，至于那女子的打扮，则妖异以极，而且颇有凡分姿色，一副充满魅惑的样子。
The demons fell silent.
hòu xīn lái shuō ， guāng jiù wǔ guān xiàng mào ， cǐ èr rén méi yǒu fēn háo chū qí ， rán ér nà líng yā què shì huò zhēn jià shí de fēn shén qī yóu qí shì nà nán zi ， bǐ páng biān de nǚ xiū gèng shèng yī chóu ， nǎi shì fēn shén zhōng qī de kě pà cún zài 。
后心来说，光就五官相貌，此二人没有分毫出奇，然而那灵压却是货真价实的分神期尤其是那男子，比旁边的女修更胜一筹，乃是分神中期的可怕存在。
"Tianlan Twin Tangs!"
zhòng mó xiū jìn ruò hán chán 。
众魔修噤若寒蝉。
A large man wearing green robes exclaimed with shock upon recognizing the pair, his face filled with fear. He then showed regret, covering his mouth as he trembled in terror.
“ tiān lán shuāng táng ！”
“天岚双唐！”
"What? Did Tianlan Twin Demons make a mistake?"
yī shēn chuān lǜ páo de dà hàn kàn qīng chǔ nà duì nán nǚ xiū shì hòu ， jìng fā chū jīng hū ， liǎn shàng mǎn shì kǒng jù zhī sè ， suí hòu què yòu liú lù chū hòu huǐ de biǎo qíng ， yǐ shǒu yǎn kǒu ， hài pà dé hún shēn fā dǒu 。
一身穿绿袍的大汉看清楚那对男女修士后，竟发出惊呼，脸上满是恐惧之色，随后却又流露出后悔的表情，以手掩口，害怕得浑身发抖。
"Impossible! Could it really be those two legendary figures everyone fears to mention by name?"
“ shén me ， tiān lán shuāng mó méi nòng cuò ba ！”
“什么，天岚双魔没弄错吧！”
There were hundreds of demon cultivators gathered nearby, many of whom had extensive knowledge. After all, the Tianlan Twin Demons were well-known figures.
“ bù kě néng ， nán dào zhēn shì chuán shuō zhōng nà liǎng gè lìng rén tán zhī sè biàn de jiā huo 。”
“不可能，难道真是传说中那两个令人谈之色变的家伙。”
Hence, although some present had never seen their true forms, they had heard about them through their reputations.
jù jí zài fù jìn de mó zú xiū shì yǒu shù bǎi zhī duō ， qí zhōng zì rán bù fá jiàn shí guǎng bó ， gèng hé kuàng tiān lán shuāng mó kě yǐ shuō shì dǐng dǐng dà míng de jiā huo 。
聚集在附近的魔族修士有数百之多，其中自然不乏见识广博，更何况天岚双魔可以说是鼎鼎大名的家伙。
The two demons had gained fame over five to six ten thousand years ago. Unlike other Phase One Consciousness existences who preferred seclusion and delved into the Dao of Heaven, the Tianlan Twin Demons were a source of dread for all.
gù ér zài chǎng de hǎo xiē rén suī rán bù céng jiàn guò liǎng mó de zūn róng dàn yú tā men de míng tóu ， què dōu shì yǒu tīng shuō 。
故而在场的好些人虽然不曾见过两魔的尊容但于他们的名头，却都是有听说。
This was due to their cultivation techniques—ways of slaughter. As the name suggested, the more blood they shed, the faster they progressed. Countless souls had fallen at their hands.
liǎng mó chéng míng ， yǐ yǒu wǔ liù wàn nián zhī jiǔ ， yǔ qí tā de fēn shén qī dà néng xǐ huān shēn jū qiǎn chū ， zuān yán tiān dào bù tóng ， zhè tiān lán shuāng mó de míng tóu què shì lìng rén tán zhī biàn sè 。
两魔成名，已有五六万年之久，与其他的分神期大能喜欢深居浅出，钻研天道不同，这天岚双魔的名头却是令人谈之变色。
Among them were many demon cultivators and some魔族 who lacked spirit roots and thus could not follow the path of immortals.
zhè yě yǔ tā liǎ xiū liàn de gōng fǎ yǒu guān xì liǎng rén xiū liàn de nǎi shì shā lù zhī dào ， gù míng sī yì ， shǒu shàng zhān rǎn de xuè xīng yuè duō xiū liàn qǐ lái yě jiù yuè fā xùn sù ， suǒ yǐ sǐ zài tā men shǒu zhōng de yuān hún ， kě yǐ shuō shì bù jì qí shù 。
这也与他俩修炼的功法有关系两人修炼的乃是杀戮之道，顾名思义，手上沾染的血腥越多修炼起来也就越发迅速，所以死在他们手中的冤魂，可以说是不计其数。
The couple had once set a record by massacring dozens of minor sects in just one month.
qí zhōng ， jì yǒu dà liàng de mó zú xiū xiān zhě ， tóng shí hái bù fá yī xiē méi yǒu líng gēn ， wú fǎ zǒu shàng xiān dào zhī lù de mó rén 。
其中，既有大量的魔族修仙者，同时还不乏一些没有灵根，无法走上仙道之路的魔人。
Although ancient demons were ferocious, few reached such heights.
zhè fū qī shuāng mó ， céng jīng chuàng zào guò zài yí yuè zhī jiān xuè xǐ shù shí gè zhōng xiǎo mén pài de jì lù 。
这夫妻双魔，曾经创造过在一月之间血洗数十个中小门派的记录。
Unluckily for them, they only targeted smaller-scale sects, so no one dared to challenge them. Only the smaller factions and families in their area lived in constant fear, even moving en masse at times.
gǔ mó suī rán xiōng cán hào dòu ， dàn dá dào tā liǎ zhè zhǒng chéng dù de yě wéi shù bù duō 。
古魔虽然凶残好斗，但达到他俩这种程度的也为数不多。
However, ten thousand years ago, the Tianlan Twin Demons suddenly vanished from the cultivation world.
wú nài fū qī liǎ dōu shì fēn shén jí bié de gǔ mó miè shā de yě zhǐ shì yī xiē zhōng xiǎo guī mó de mén pài ， gù ér yě méi yǒu shén me rén gǎn lái zhǎo tā men de má fán 。
无奈夫妻俩都是分神级别的古魔灭杀的也只是一些中小规模的门派，故而也没有什么人敢来找他们的麻烦。
Some said they had reformed and stopped causing trouble outside; others claimed that with too much blood on their hands, they were eventually brought down by a great existence.
wéi yǒu ràng shuāng mó chū mò qū yù de zhōng xiǎo shì lì jìn ruò hán chán ， shèn zhì yǒu de zōng mén jiā zú jǔ pài bān qiān 。
唯有让双魔出没区域的中小势力噤若寒蝉，甚至有的宗门家族举派搬迁。
Various speculations abounded.
rán ér jiù zài yī wàn nián qián 。
然而就在一万年前。
Regardless of which theory was correct, the twin demons never appeared again. Many demon cultivators breathed a sigh of relief but never expected to see them here today.
tiān lán shuāng mó tū rán cóng xiū xiān jiè xiāo shī le 。
天岚双魔突然从修仙界消失了。
Cultivation had no time limit; ten thousand years did not erase their fear. Most demons were now regretting their decision to stay and watch the spectacle.
yǒu rén shuō ， tā men xǐ xīn gé miàn ， bù zài wài chū wèi è ， yě yǒu rén shuō ， fū qī liǎ shā niè tài duō ， yǒu gàn tiān hé ， zuì zhōng bèi mǒu dà néng cún zài chū shǒu jiàng qǐ ”，…
有人说，他们洗心革面，不再外出为恶，也有人说，夫妻俩杀孽太多，有干天和，最终被某大能存在出手降起”，…
If only they had left earlier, they should have gone away quickly instead.
gè zhǒng gè yàng de chuǎi mó hái yǒu hěn duō 。
各种各样的揣摩还有很多。
However, it was too late for regrets.
rán ér bù guǎn nǎ yī zhǒng cāi cè shì zhèng què de ， zǒng zhī zhè lìng rén tán zhī sè biàn de shuāng mó zài yě méi yǒu chū xiàn guò 。
然而不管哪一种猜测是正确的，总之这令人谈之色变的双魔再也没有出现过。
Hadn't they stayed just because they didn't want to leave? Now wanting to go, wouldn't that make them look like fools and attract unwanted attention?
hěn duō mó xiū dōu sōng le kǒu qì ， què wàn wàn méi xiǎng dào tā men jīn tiān huì chū xiàn zài zhè lǐ 。
很多魔修都松了口气，却万万没想到他们今天会出现在这里。
Weighing the pros and cons, staying silent and making a fortune was the right choice. Hopefully, after all these years, the Tianlan Twin Demons had become more restrained.
xiū xiān wú suì yuè ， qū qū wàn yú zài bìng bù zú yǐ ràng dà huǒ ér jiāng shuāng mó kě pà wàng jì ， cǐ shí ， dà bù fèn mó xiū xīn zhōng dōu zài dǎ gǔ ， hòu huǐ dé cháng zi dōu qīng le 。
修仙无岁月，区区万余载并不足以让大伙儿将双魔可怕忘记，此时，大部分魔修心中都在打鼓，后悔得肠子都青了。
The two demons naturally observed the expressions of the surrounding cultivators but paid no heed to them, instead focusing on the valley shrouded in mist as they conversed.
zǎo zhī dào rú cǐ ， zì jǐ liú zài zhè lǐ kàn shén me rè nào ， yīng gāi gǎn kuài lí qù cái shì 。
早知道如此，自己留在这里看什么热闹，应该赶快离去才是。
"Brother, you didn't make a mistake. Is Dragon Flame Grass really here?" The woman's voice carried an alluring tone.
rán ér hòu huǐ yǐ jīng wǎn le 。
然而后悔已经晚了。
"I can't be one hundred percent sure, but there's at least an eighty percent chance."
gāng cái méi zǒu ， xiàn zài cái xiǎng yào lí kāi ， nà qǐ bù shì gěi zì jǐ zhǎo bù zì zài ， fǎn ér huì yǐn qǐ duì fāng de zhù yì ， dé bù cháng shī 。
刚才没走，现在才想要离开，那岂不是给自己找不自在，反而会引起对方的注意，得不偿失。
The man spoke with a hint of unusual light in his eyes: "Fang Sister knows this; besides my cultivation techniques, I'm also skilled in divination. From the卦象 analysis just now, dragon flame grass should be around here."
quán héng lì bì ， mēn shēng dà fā cái cái shì zhèng què xuǎn zé ， dàn yuàn jīng guò zhè wàn yú zài suì yuè de mó lì ， tiān lán shuāng mó ， yǐ yǒu suǒ shōu liǎn ， bù zài rú yǐ qián yì bān ， shā rén bù zhǎ yǎn 。
权衡利弊，闷声大发财才是正确选择，但愿经过这万余载岁月的磨砺，天岚双魔，已有所收敛，不再如以前一般，杀人不眨眼。
"That may be true, but what we're seeing is just one cultivator breaking through his bottleneck. Where's the Dragon Flame Grass?" The alluring female demon curiously asked.
liǎng mó zì rán jiāng zhōu wéi mó xiū de biǎo qíng dōu kàn zài yǎn lǐ ， rán ér què háo bù zài yì ， ér shì zhù shì zhe nà bèi mí wù lǒng zhào de shān gǔ ， niǔ tóu jiāo tán qǐ lái le 。
两魔自然将周围魔修的表情都看在眼里，然而却毫不在意，而是注视着那被迷雾笼罩的山谷，扭头交谈起来了。
The Tianlan Twin Demons were indeed old monsters of Phase One Consciousness. While most ancient demons thought it was an extraordinary treasure emerging, they immediately saw through the truth.
“ dà gē ， nǐ méi yǒu nòng cuò ， lóng yán cǎo zhēn zài cǐ dì me ？” nà nǚ zǐ de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， fǎng fú dài zhe jǐ fēn yòu rén de mèi huò 。
“大哥，你没有弄错，龙炎草真在此地么？”那女子的声音传入耳朵，仿佛带着几分诱人的魅惑。
"Heh, Fang Sister, that may not be the case. This place has a good spiritual vein, and usually, such veins come with various treasures. Perhaps dragon flame grass appeared before but was taken by the one who's meditating here," the man sneered. His analysis seemed reasonable on the surface.
“ bǎi fēn zhī bǎi de bǎ wò dāng rán bù gǎn shuō ， bù guò bā chéng yǐ shàng de kě néng xìng hái shì yǒu de 。”
“百分之百的把握当然不敢说，不过八成以上的可能性还是有的。”
"Then what are we waiting for? Capture that guy; our ancestral deity's task is done. We can return to report and receive the benefits promised…" The female demon licked her lips, her face filled with excitement.
nà nán zi kāi kǒu le ， yǎn zhōng yǐn yǐn yǒu yì máng shǎn guò ：“ fú mèi mí xiǎo de ， wèi fū chú le xiū liàn de shén tōng hái jīng shàn bo suàn zhī shù ， cóng gāng cái de guà xiàng fēn xī ， zhè lǐ yīng gāi yǒu lóng yán cǎo chū mò 。”
那男子开口了，眼中隐隐有异芒闪过：“芙妹弥晓得，为夫除了修炼的神通还精擅卜算之术，从刚才的卦象分析，这里应该有龙炎草出没。”
"Fang Sister, no need to rush. A cooked duck doesn't fly away. Although this fellow dares to meditate here, his array formations seem decent," the man said with a smile, though it seemed sinister.
“ huà shì méi cuò ， bù guò yǎn qián de yì xiàng ， jǐn jǐn shì yí gè jiā huo ， zài zhè lǐ bì guān tū pò píng jǐng bà le ， nǎ yǒu lóng yán cǎo ne ？” nà yāo yě nǚ mó hào qí de shuō 。
“话是没错，不过眼前的异象，仅仅是一个家伙，在这里闭关突破瓶颈罢了，哪有龙炎草呢？”那妖冶女魔好奇的说。
"Brother, you've said before that we shouldn't be too hasty. These common formations can't hold us back, so why take risks?" The alluring female demon said dismissively.
tiān lán shuāng mó ， bù kuì shì fēn shén jí bié de lǎo guài wù ， zhè me duō gǔ mó ， dōu yǐ wéi shì yì bǎo chū shì ， rán ér tā men liǎng gè ， què yī yǎn què jiù kàn chū zhēn xiàng lái le 。
天岚双魔，不愧是分神级别的老怪物，这么多古魔，都以为是异宝出世，然而他们两个，却一眼却就看出真相来了。
"Fang Sister, I've told you not to rush. These common formations indeed won't stop us, but they can save effort. Why risk it?" The man smiled, though his smile seemed extremely sinister.
“ hēi ， fú mèi ， zhè kě wèi bì ， cǐ dì de líng mài zhe shí bù cuò ， ér yì bān líng mài chū xiàn ， dōu hái yǒu gè zhǒng tiān cái dì bǎo bàn suí zhe ， yě xǔ lóng yán cǎo yǐ jīng chū xiàn guò ， zhǐ bù guò bèi nà bì guān de jiā huo cǎi qù le 。” nán zi lěng xiào de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， hái bié shuō ， tā de zhè fān fēn xī ， cóng biǎo miàn shàng kàn ， hái zhēn shì rù qíng rù lǐ 。
“嘿，芙妹，这可未必，此地的灵脉着实不错，而一般灵脉出现，都还有各种天材地宝伴随着，也许龙炎草已经出现过，只不过被那闭关的家伙采去了。”男子冷笑的声音传入耳朵，还别说，他的这番分析，从表面上看，还真是入情入理。
"Brother is saying,"…
“ nà hái děng shén me ， zhuā zhù zhè jiā huo ， shèng zǔ dà rén bù zhì de rèn wù jiù wán chéng le ， wǒ men kě yǐ huí qù jiāo chāi ， lǐng qǔ dà rén chéng nuò de hǎo chù ……” nà nǚ mó tiǎn le tiǎn zuǐ chún ， liǎn shàng mǎn shì xīng 「 qǐ háng mǎo shuǐ yìn 」 fèn zhī sè 。
“那还等什么，抓住这家伙，圣祖大人布置的任务就完成了，我们可以回去交差，领取大人承诺的好处……”那女魔舔了舔嘴唇，脸上满是兴「启航冇水印」奋之色。
The woman frowned, then seemed to understand something. Although they were a couple and couldn't be telepathic, they had some understanding between them.
“ fú mèi ， bù yòng zháo jí ， zhǔ shú de yā zi ， nán dào hái néng gòu fēi dào nǎ lǐ ， zhè jiā huo suī rán dǎn dà bāo tiān ， gǎn zài zhè lǐ xiū liàn ， bù guò tā bù zhì de jǐ gè zhèn fǎ sì hū hái bú cuò 。”
“芙妹，不用着急，煮熟的鸭子，难道还能够飞到哪里，这家伙虽然胆大包天，敢在这里修炼，不过他布置的几个阵法似乎还不错。”
"Right, these fellows can serve as cannon fodder to test the situation." The man's smiling voice echoed, as if discussing nothing significant.
“ bù cuò yòu rú hé ， qū qū fán zuò fǎ zhèn ， nán dào hái néng gòu lán dé zhù nǐ wǒ ？” nà yāo ráo nǚ mó bù yǐ wéi rán de shuō 。
“不错又如何，区区凡座法阵，难道还能够拦得住你我？”那妖娆女魔不以为然的说。
