lín xuān xīn zhōng ， zòng rán yǐ ná dìng le zhǔ yì ， rán ér liǎn shàng de shén sè ， yī jiù shì píng jìng yǐ jí ， jiù suàn yào chū shǒu ， yě bù bì jí yú yī shí ， xū děng dài xún mì hé shì de shí jī 。 suí
林轩心中，纵然已拿定了主意，然而脸上的神色，依旧是平静以极，就算要出手，也不必急于一时，需等待寻觅合适的时机。随
Lin Xuan's heart was set, but his expression remained as calm as ever. He didn't need to act hastily; he just needed to wait for the right moment.
zhè diǎn nài xīn ， lín xuān hái shì yǒu de ， bì jìng zhè xiē wěi chéng ， zì jǐ rén shēng dì bù shú ， yī huì er ruò shì dà nào hūn yàn ， miàn duì de ， kě bù jǐn jǐn shì xīn láng guān yí gè ， zhè mǎn wū de hè kè ， dōu yǒu kě néng chū shǒu 。
这点耐心，林轩还是有的，毕竟这蝎尾城，自己人生地不熟，一会儿若是大闹婚宴，面对的，可不仅仅是新郎官一个，这满屋的贺客，都有可能出手。
This patience was something Lin Xuan had, given that he was unfamiliar with this place. If he caused a commotion now, not only would it be the groom, but all the guests present could potentially intervene.
suǒ yǐ ， rén kěn dìng yào jiù ， dàn gāi zěn yàng jiù ， yòu xuǎn zé hé zhǒng fāng shì ， zhè xiē wèn tí ， dōu bù néng shū hū ， xū yào hǎo hǎo sī liáng zhēn zhuó 。
所以，人肯定要救，但该怎样救，又选择何种方式，这些问题，都不能疏忽，需要好好思量斟酌。
Thus, he must save the girl, but how and in what manner? These were questions he couldn't afford to overlook; he needed to think carefully about them.
páng rén zì rán bù zhī dào lín xuān xīn zhōng zài xiǎng shén me ， gè zhǒng gōng xǐ dào hè de shēng yīn bù jué yú ěr duǒ ， yòu guò piàn kè ， pī lǐ pā lā de biān pào shēng dà zuò ， què shì yǐ dào liáng chén jí shí ， xīn rén gāi sān bài tiān dì 。 xīn xí fù zì rán yǒu tiē shēn de yā huán chān fú ， nà xiē wěi shàng rén yě shì mǎn liǎn de xǐ sè ， qián fāng yǐ bǎi hǎo le gòng zhuō ， yǎn kàn liǎng rén jiù yào jié wèi fū fù 。
旁人自然不知道林轩心中在想什么，各种恭喜道贺的声音不绝于耳朵，又过片刻，噼里啪啦的鞭炮声大做，却是已到良辰吉时，新人该三拜天地。新媳妇自然有贴身的丫鬟搀扶，那蝎尾上人也是满脸的喜色，前方已摆好了供桌，眼看两人就要结为夫妇。
No one else knew what Lin Xuan was thinking. Various congratulatory voices filled his ears as time passed. Suddenly, a loud crack of firecrackers echoed, signaling that it was the auspicious hour for the couple's three bows before heaven and earth. The bride had her personal maid supporting her, while the man, who was named Scorpion Tail, looked joyous. A table was set up in front to receive their bows.
lín xuān méi tou yí zhòu ， rú jīn xíng shì jí pò ， yǐ zài yě tuō yán bù dé ， suī rán xiàn zài chū shǒu ， shí jī kě yǐ shuō shì bù miào yǐ jí ， zì jǐ shí yǒu **， huì chéng wéi zhòng shǐ zhī dì ， dàn bù guǎn rú hé ， tā zǒng bù néng yǎn zhēng zhēng kàn zhe lín yù jiāo diào rù huǒ kēng de 。
林轩眉头一皱，如今形势急迫，已再也拖延不得，虽然现在出手，时机可以说是不妙以极，自己十有**，会成为众矢之的，但不管如何，他总不能眼睁睁看着林玉娇掉入火坑的。
Lin Xuan frowned. The situation was urgent; he couldn't delay any longer. Although the timing for his intervention wasn't ideal, he couldn't just watch as Lin Yu娇 fell into a trap.
bà le ， jiù suàn yǔ zhěng gè xiē wěi chéng wèi dí yòu rú hé ， zhè tān huā hào sè de lǎo mó ， bù yě jiù fēn shén chū qī me ？
罢了，就算与整个蝎尾城为敌又如何，这贪huā好色的老魔，不也就分神初期么？
Well, even if it meant going against the entire Scorpion Tail city, what of it? This greedy and lustful old demon was only at the early stage of focusing spirit.
lín xuān zì wèn duì shàng tóng jiē cún zài sī háo yā lì yě wú ， dà bù liǎo yī huì er duō fèi xiē shǒu jiǎo bà le 。
林轩自问对上同阶存在丝毫压力也无，大不了一会儿多费些手脚罢了。
Lin Xuan had no pressure from an equal opponent; it would merely take him some time to deal with this. With his mind made up, Lin Xuan didn't waste any more time. He stepped forward, but before he could utter "full," something unexpected happened.
zhǔ yì yǐ dìng ， lín xuān yě jiù bù zài dān gē ， tà qián yī bù ， rán ér nà jù “ qiě mǎn ” shàng wèi chū kǒu ， chū rén yì liào de biàn gù què fā shēng le 。
主意已定，林轩也就不再耽搁，踏前一步，然而那句“且满”尚未出口，出人意料的变故却发生了。
Boom!
hōng ！
轰！
A loud noise echoed in his ears as the front courtyard's gate was blown away.
yī shēng jù xiǎng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， qián fāng tíng yuàn de dà mén jū rán bèi zhèn fēi diào le 。
一声巨响传入耳朵，前方庭院的大门居然被震飞掉了。
Two heavily armored demon guards entered through the flying gate. Both were at the stage of yuan yin (immortal embryo), yet they were bleeding profusely and lay limp on the ground.
suí zhe dà mén fēi jìn lái de shì liǎng míng pī jiān zhí ruì de mó zú shǒu wèi ， liǎng rén jìng jiè bù dī ， dōu shì yuán yīng jí ， rán ér cǐ kè ， què shì kǒu pēn xiān xuè ， shuāng shuāng wěi dùn zài dì 。
随着大门飞进来的是两名披坚执锐的魔族守卫，两人境界不低，都是元婴级，然而此刻，却是口喷鲜血，双双委顿在地。
"Time for the couple to bow before heaven..."
“ liáng chén jí shí yǐ dào ， xīn rén sān bài tiān ……”
“良辰吉时已到，新人三拜天……”
The officiant, who had been enthusiastically conducting the ceremony, was taken aback by this sudden turn of events. He couldn't even finish saying "heaven."
nà sī yí zhèng xìng gāo cǎi liè de zhǔ chí yí shì ， zhè yàng de biàn gù ， yī xià ràng tā shǎ yǎn le ， nà sān bài tiān dì de dì zì hái méi yǒu shuō wán ， jiù tūn rù dǔ zi le 。
那司仪正兴高采烈的主持仪式，这样的变故，一下让他傻眼了，那三拜天地的地字还没有说完，就吞入肚子了。
This unexpected situation left not only the officiant but also the guests, who were loudly chatting, speechless and staring in disbelief. Someone... had come to disrupt? Who dared?
biàn qǐ cāng chǔ ， bèi zhè yí mù gěi nòng dé shǎ diào de ， yòu qǐ zhǐ shì nà sī yí ， zhèng dà shēng tán xiào de bīn kè ， yí gè gè yě chēng mù jié shé ， jī hū huái yí zì jǐ de yǎn jīng kàn cuò 。 jū rán …… yǒu rén qián lái jiǎo jú ？ shuí chī le xióng xīn bào zi dǎn ？
变起仓储，被这一幕给弄得傻掉的，又岂止是那司仪，正大声谈笑的宾客，一个个也瞠目结舌，几乎怀疑自己的眼睛看错。居然……有人前来搅局？谁吃了熊心豹子胆？
Didn't they know that this area was under Scorpion Tail's control?
nán dào bù zhī dào zhè fāng yuán bǎi wàn yào ， dōu shì xiē wěi shàng rén de dì pán ？
难道不知道这方圆百万要，都是蝎尾上人的地盘？
The once lively wedding feast suddenly became eerily quiet as everyone stopped drinking their cups. The sound of a needle falling on the ground could even be heard.
yuán běn rè nào de hūn yàn ， yīn wèi zhè yì wài de biàn gù ， yī xià zi biàn dé ān jìng yǐ jí ， suǒ yǒu rén tíng bēi bù yǐn ， shèn zhì kě yǐ tīng jiàn zhēn diào luò zài dì shàng de shēng yīn 。
原本热闹的婚宴，因为这意外的变故，一下子变得安静以极，所有人停杯不饮，甚至可以听见针掉落在地上的声音。
Wu...
wū ……
呜……
A faint figure drifted in from the broken gate, enveloped by thick demonic fog. His true form was hard to discern due to the dense mist.
yī zhèn wēi fēng chuī guò ， cóng nà pò bài de dà mén ， piāo guò lái yī mó hú de xū yǐng 。
一阵微风吹过，从那破败的大门，飘过来一模糊的虚影。
Lin Xuan quietly retracted his step; such an unexpected turn of events was not something he had anticipated.
cǐ rén hún shēn bāo guǒ yǎng nóng nóng de mó wù ， yǐ zhì yú 〖 zhēn 〗 shí de shēn yǐng ， fǎn ér kàn bù qīng chǔ 。
此人浑身包裹养浓浓的魔雾，以至于〖真〗实的身影，反而看不清楚。
He originally planned to cause a disturbance at the wedding but never imagined someone would preempt him.
lín xuān qiāo qiāo shōu huí le sì jīng mài chū qù de jiǎo bù ， zhè yàng de biàn gù ， wěi shí shì tā yě bù céng yù liào dào de 。
林轩悄悄收回了巳经迈出去的脚步，这样的变故，委实是他也不曾预料到的。
Although he didn't know who this person was, it clearly wasn't harmful and might even be beneficial.
yuán běn xiǎng yào dà nào hūn yàn ， zuò mèng yě méi yǒu xiǎng dào ， jū rán yǒu rén qiǎng zài le zì jǐ de qián miàn 。
原本想要大闹婚宴，做梦也没有想到，居然有人抢在了自己的前面。
So, there was no need for Lin Xuan to rush; he could observe first before making any decisions. After all, the more murky the water, the better.
suī rán bù zhī dào shì hé rén tū rán mào chū lái jiǎo jú ， dàn xiǎn rán duì zì jǐ shì wú hài yǒu lì 。
虽然不知道是何人突然冒出来搅局，但显然对自己是无害有利。
Lin Xuan was secretly pleased while Scorpion Tail was furious beyond measure. It was understandable; anyone would feel aggrieved if their wedding was suddenly disrupted.
jì rán rú cǐ ， lín xuān dào yě bù yòng tài guò zháo jí ， xiān kàn yī kàn zài zuò dìng duó yě bù chí dì 。
既然如此，林轩倒也不用太过着急，先看一看再做定夺也不迟地。
He had happily married his bride when someone came to spoil it. How humiliating and infuriating! The other party didn't even consider him worthy of a glance.
bì jìng duì tā lái shuō ， shuǐ yuè hún ， yuè yǒu hǎo chù 。
毕竟对他来说，水越浑，越有好处。
He still wore the ceremonial attire for the marriage, but his eyes turned blood red, and dark aura appeared on his face. Not just his face; his entire body was covered in thick black mist that coalesced into snake-like tentacles, writhing with an eerie movement.
lín xuān zhè biān ， xīn zhōng shì àn zì qiè xǐ ， ér nà xiē wěi shàng rén ， zé bào nù yǐ jí ， zhè yě shì nán guài dì ， huàn rèn hé yí gè nán rén ， yù jiàn zhè zhǒng shì qíng ， yě shì nán yǐ shì huái dì 。
林轩这边，心中是暗自窃喜，而那蝎尾上人，则暴怒以极，这也是难怪地，换任何一个男人，遇见这种事情，也是难以释怀地。
Even if he were an ancient demon known for his short temper, this would be unbearable.
zhèng gāo gāo xìng xìng de qǔ qī ， tū rán yǒu yí gè rén lái jiǎo jú 。
正高高兴兴的娶妻，突然有一个人来搅局。
"Die!"
zhè shì hé děng de biē qū yǔ wǔ rǔ ， duì fāng jiǎn zhí wán quán méi yǒu jiāng zì jǐ fàng zài yǎn zhōng 。
这是何等的憋屈与侮辱，对方简直完全没有将自己放在眼中。
He roared, and the tentacles seemed to gain life, lashing out like whips at their opponent.
tā de shēn shàng ， hái chuān zhe qǔ qīn yòng de lǐ fú ， rán ér yī duì yǎn zhū què biàn chéng le xuè hóng zhī sè ， miàn kǒng shàng yě yǒu nóng yù de hēi qì fú xiàn ér chū 。 bù … bù zhǐ shì miàn kǒng ， shì zhěng gè shēn tǐ ， dōu fú xiàn chū nóng yù de hēi qì 。
他的身上，还穿着娶亲用的礼服，然而一对眼珠却变成了血红之色，面孔上也有浓郁的黑气浮现而出。不…不止是面孔，是整个身体，都浮现出浓郁的黑气。
Facing such a violent attack, the uninvited guest concealed himself in the demonic aura, his expression unclear but hinting at a sneer. He raised his right hand and pushed forward.
nà xiē hēi qì ， zài tā de shēn zhōu ， níng jié chéng yī tiáo tiáo huáng tǒng cū de chù shǒu ， rú tóng mǎng shé yì bān ， wǔ dòng bù yǐ ， xiǎn de guǐ yì yǐ jí 。
那些黑气，在他的身周，凝结成一条条黄桶粗的触手，如同蟒蛇一般，舞动不已，显得诡异以极。
This action was nothing extraordinary, yet all nearby demonic energy was sucked into this palm. Pfft
bié shuō pí qì bào zào de gǔ mó ， zhè zhǒng shì qíng ， jiù suàn huàn yī fán rén ， nà yě shì nán yǐ rěn shòu de 。
别说脾气暴躁的古魔，这种事情，就算换一凡人，那也是难以忍受的。
A dull sound filled Lin Xuan's ears as the whip-like demonic energy seemed to meet its match, breaking apart inch by inch.
“ zhǎo sǐ ！”
“找死！”
The attack wasn't over; a muffled groan echoed as the force of the palm hit Scorpion Tail. He stumbled back three steps and knocked over the altar table, incense burner, and various exotic fruits placed on it, scattering them all over the ground.
zhǐ tīng tā yī shēng dà hē ， nà xiē chù shǒu fǎng fú zài tū rán zhī jiān ， bèi fù yǔ shēng mìng le ， rú tóng biān zi yì bān ， hěn hěn de cháo zhe duì shǒu ， chōu le guò qù 。
只听他一声大喝，那些触手仿佛在突然之间，被赋予生命了，如同鞭子一般，狠狠的朝着对手，抽了过去。
A bottle of fine wine collided with his forehead, leaving him drenched in alcohol but unharmed. The sight was comically humiliating.
miàn duì zhè me kuáng bào de gōng jī ， nà bù sù zhī kè ， yī jiù jiāng zì jǐ de shēn tǐ ， qián cáng zài mó qì lǐ ， tā de biǎo qíng kàn bù qīng chǔ ， bù guò yǐn yǐn ， sì hū yǒu yí gè lěng xiào de dòng zuò 。
面对这么狂暴的攻击，那不速之客，依旧将自己的身体，潜藏在魔气里，他的表情看不清楚，不过隐隐，似乎有一个冷笑的动作。
Initially, he wanted to drive this person away, but now he had lost face. Scorpion Tail was both shocked and angry, knowing that the newcomer was no ordinary foe. Although he had been overconfident, a regular cultivator couldn't possibly embarrass him so badly.
yòu shǒu tái qǐ ， yī zhǎng xiàng qián tuī le guò qù 。
右手抬起，一掌向前推了过去。
A peer at the same stage!
píng xīn lái shuō ， zhè dòng zuò háo bù chū qí ， rán ér fù jìn de mó qì ， què quán bù bèi xī rù zhè yī zhǎng lǐ 。 pū chī MM
平心来说，这动作毫不出奇，然而附近的魔气，却全部被吸入这一掌里。噗嗤MM
Moreover, the other party had come prepared.
yǒu xiē chén mèn de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， nà rú tóng biān zi yì bān de mó qì ， fǎng fú yù jiàn le kè xīng ， cùn cùn duàn liè kāi lái 。
有些沉闷的声音传入耳朵，那如同鞭子一般的魔气，仿佛遇见了克星，寸寸断裂开来。
Thinking this, Scorpion Tail's anger subsided as he regained his composure.
ér gōng jī hái méi yǒu jié shù ， yī shēng mèn hēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， nà zhǎng lì de yú bō jiāng xiē wěi shàng rén jī zhòng le 。 dēng dēng dēng ， tā lián tuì sān bù ， yī xià zi zhuàng dào le yòng yú jì bài tiān dì de gòng zhuō ， xiāng lú ， hái yǒu shàng miàn duī fàng de qí zhēn yì guǒ ， dùn shí sǎ luò diào yī dì 。
而攻击还没有结束，一声闷哼传入耳朵，那掌力的余波将蝎尾上人击中了。蹬蹬蹬，他连退三步，一下子撞倒了用于祭拜天地的供桌，香炉，还有上面堆放的奇珍异果，顿时洒落掉一地。
As they say, the good don't come, and those who do are not good. The newcomer chose to disrupt the wedding for a reason; there must be some backing him.
yī tán měi jiǔ ， zhèng hǎo zhuàng zhōng de wěi shàng rén de é tóu ， suī rán shāng bú dào tā fēn háo ， dàn què mǎn liǎn mǎn shēn de jiǔ shuǐ lín lí ， nà jiào yí gè láng bèi wú bǐ 。
一坛美酒，正好撞中的尾上人的额头，虽然伤不到他分毫，但却满脸满身的酒水淋漓，那叫一个狼狈无比。
He needed to handle it carefully or risk turning what was supposed to be a happy event into an uncontrollable mess. Scorpion Tail's thoughts raced as the guests around him chattered excitedly, oblivious to his inner turmoil.
yuán běn xiǎng ràng duì fāng gǔn chū qù ， méi xiǎng dào zuì zhōng diū liǎn de què shì zì jǐ 。 xiē wěi shàng rén yòu jīng yòu nù ， dàn yǐ zhī dào lái rén fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， suī rán gāng gāng nà yī jī ， zì jǐ chī le tuō dà de kǔ ， dàn yì bān de xiū shì ， jiù suàn zhàn jǐn xiān jī ， yòu zěn me kě néng ràng zì jǐ diū liǎn chī kǔ dào rú cǐ dì bù 。
原本想让对方滚出去，没想到最终丢脸的却是自己。蝎尾上人又惊又怒，但已知道来人非同小可，虽然刚刚那一击，自己吃了托大的苦，但一般的修士，就算占尽先机，又怎么可能让自己丢脸吃苦到如此地步。
After all, Scorpion Tail was an ancient demon at the focusing spirit stage—unattainable for most people. Today, so many guests had come out of admiration for his marriage ceremony.
tóng jiē gǔ mó ！
同阶古魔！
But now, a powerful ancient demon at that stage had knocked over the altar table. This was unimaginable to ordinary people.
ér qiě duì fāng shì yǒu bèi ér lái de 。
而且对方是有备而来的。
Could this uninvited guest be even more formidable?
xiǎng dào zhè lǐ ， xiē wěi shàng rén fǎn ér yā yì le nù qì ， chóng xīn lěng jìng xià qù 。
想到这里，蝎尾上人反而压抑了怒气，重新冷静下去。
The guests' expressions were fascinating as they pondered this. Most chose silence; although they preferred siding with Scorpion Tail, no one wanted to risk their own humiliation. After all, both humans and ancient demons in the cultivation world were mostly selfish, and some regretted coming here, fearing that if the city gates were breached, they would suffer along with it.
Lin Xuan's heart was set, but his expression remained as calm as ever. He didn't need to act hastily; he just needed to wait for the right moment.
This patience was something Lin Xuan had, given that he was unfamiliar with this place. If he caused a commotion now, not only would it be the groom, but all the guests present could potentially intervene.

A loud noise echoed in his ears as the front courtyard's gate was blown away.
Two heavily armored demon guards entered through the flying gate. Both were at the stage of yuan yin (immortal embryo), yet they were bleeding profusely and lay limp on the ground.
"Time for the couple to bow before heaven..."
The officiant, who had been enthusiastically conducting the ceremony, was taken aback by this sudden turn of events. He couldn't even finish saying "heaven."
