bù guò jǐn jǐn fā dāi le piàn kè ， zhòng xiū shì jiù fǎn yìng guò lái ， rén rén xǐ dòng yán sè ， fēn fēn dà lǐ xiàng lín xuān cān bài qǐ lái le
不过仅仅发呆了片刻，众修士就反应过来，人人喜动颜色，纷纷大礼像林轩参拜起来了
However, just a moment later, the cultivators reacted. Everyone's faces lit up with joy as they began to pay homage like Lin Xuan.
suī shuō yún yǐn zōng wǔ mài zhī jiān ， yí xiàng lüè yǒu bù hé ， bù guò rú jīn miàn lín zhe zōng mén shēng sǐ cún wáng de shí hòu ， dà jiā hái shì néng gòu tóng chóu dí kài de
虽说云隐宗五脉之间，一向略有不合，不过如今面临着宗门生死存亡的时候，大家还是能够同仇敌忾的
Although there had always been some discord among the five branches of the Cloud Concealment Sect, in times of crisis such as this, everyone could unite against their common enemy.
“ hǎo le ， bù yòng duō lǐ ， dí rén jiū jìng shì shén me lù shù ， wèi hé wéi gōng wǒ yún yǐn zōng zǒng duò ” lín xuān kāi mén jiàn shān de shuō ， tā yí xiàng biàn bù zěn me xǐ huān xū lǐ yìng fù
“好了，不用多礼，敌人究竟是什么路数，为何围攻我云隐宗总舵”林轩开门见山的说，他一向便不怎么喜欢虚礼应付
"Alright, no need for formalities," Lin Xuan said directly. He didn't particularly enjoy empty pleasantries.
“ wǒ men yě bù xiǎo de ” zhòng rén de huí dá què ràng lín xuān dà jīng shī sè ， bù yóu de lüè dài è rán de zhuǎn guò tóu lú ， kàn xiàng cháng hǔ
“我们也不晓得”众人的回答却让林轩大惊失色，不由得略带愕然的转过头颅，看向常虎
"We don't know either," the response from the crowd left Lin Xuan stunned. He turned his head slightly to look at Chang Huo in surprise.
liǎng rén dì wèi suī rán xuán shū ， rán ér guān xì què shì fēi tóng xiǎo 、 kě ， dāng chū lín xuān bèi zhēn líng yú wēi sǎo guò ， hún shēn gǔ gé jǐn suì ， jiù shì bèi tā yǔ sū rú hái yǒu jìng xū jiù huí lái de
两人地位虽然悬殊，然而关系却是非同小、可，当初林轩被真灵余威扫过，浑身骨骼尽碎，就是被他与苏茹还有静虚救回来的
Although their statuses were vastly different, their relationship was not ordinary. Back then, it was Chang Huo and Su Ru who had saved Lin Xuan after he was struck by the residual power of True Spirit.
“ qǐ bǐng shī zǔ ， wǒ men què rán bù zhī dào ， dí rén shì jīn tiān zǎo chén tū rán chū xiàn zài yún yǐn zōng fù jìn de ， shí lì fēi tóng xiǎo 、 kě ， zài hěn duǎn de shí jiān nèi jiù jiāng hù pài dà zhèn gōng pò ， zōng nèi dì zi cāng chǔ yìng fù ， bèi dǎ le gè cuò shǒu bù jí ， jiā shàng dí rén shù liàng yòu duō ， wǒ men zhǐ néng pí yú yìng fù ， yú dí rén de shēn mǎo fèn ， què shì měng měng dǒng dǒng ， bìng bù zěn me qīng chǔ ” cháng hǔ kǔ xiào zhe shuō ， bù guò biǎo qíng què shì gōng jìng dào jí chù
“启禀师祖，我们确然不知道，敌人是今天早晨突然出现在云隐宗附近的，实力非同小、可，在很短的时间内就将护派大阵攻破，宗内弟子仓储应付，被打了个措手不及，加上敌人数量又多，我们只能疲于应付，于敌人的身冇份，却是懵懵懂懂，并不怎么清楚”常虎苦笑着说，不过表情却是恭敬到极处
"Master Grandfather, we truly do not know. The enemy suddenly appeared near our sect this morning. Their strength is formidable; they broke through our protective array in a short time. Our disciples were caught off guard, and with so many enemies, we could only fend them off. We are still unclear about their identities," Chang Huo said with a bitter smile, but his expression was extremely respectful.
“ yuán lái rú cǐ ”
“原来如此”
"Then, I see."
lín xuān yǐ shǒu fǔ é ， liǎn shàng dào yě méi yǒu lù chū tài duō de shī wàng zhī sè ， bù xiǎo de yě jiù suàn le ， dà bù liǎo yī huì er zhuō jǐ gè dí rén ， chōu hún liàn pò
林轩以手抚额，脸上倒也没有露出太多的失望之色，不晓得也就算了，大不了一会儿捉几个敌人，抽魂炼魄
Lin Xuan rubbed his forehead; he didn't show much disappointment on his face. If they couldn’t find out the enemy's identity in a little while, he would just capture them and extract their souls for cultivation.
bù guò cóng cháng hǔ nà zhī yán piàn yǔ de miáo shù ， běn mén rú jīn què rán wēi jī ， gù ér lín xuān dào yě bù yǐ zài zhè lǐ dān gē xià qù
不过从常虎那只言片语的描述，本门如今确然危机，故而林轩倒也不已在这里耽搁下去
However, from Chang Huo’s brief description, it was clear that the sect faced real danger. Therefore, Lin Xuan did not intend to linger here any longer.
“ hǎo ， nà nǐ men yě fēn tóu yù dí ， bù guò zì jǐ xiǎo xīn yī xiē ”
“好，那你们也分头御敌，不过自己小心一些”
"Alright, then you should all fend off the enemies separately. Just be careful."
lín xuān zhǔ tuō le yī jù ， suí hòu hún shēn qīng máng dà qǐ ， xiàng mén pài zǒng duò de shēn chù fēi qù ， liú xià jǐ míng xiū shì miàn miàn xiāng qù ， bù guò hěn kuài ， yuǎn chù yòu yǒu hǎn shā shēng chuán rù ěr lǐ ， jǐ rén zhè cái fǎn yìng guò lái ， dāng cǐ wēi nàn ， zì jǐ zěn me hái zài fā dāi ， yú shì yě xún shēng fēi le guò lái
林轩嘱托了一句，随后浑身青芒大起，像门派总舵的深处飞去，留下几名修士面面相觑，不过很快，远处又有喊杀声传入耳里，几人这才反应过来，当此危难，自己怎么还在发呆，于是也寻声飞了过来
Lin Xuan gave his instructions before his body was enveloped in a green glow as he flew towards the depths of the main sect building. The remaining cultivators exchanged glances but soon heard battle cries from afar and realized they had to act.
zài shuō lìng yī biān
再说另一边
---
lín xuān xuán fú zài bàn kōng lǐ ， ér zài tā shēn páng ， zé shì mì mì má má de shī tǐ ， quán bù shì nà xiē shēn chuān hēi páo de xiū xiān zhě ， sàn luò zài zhōu cè ， zú yǒu jìn bǎi jù zhī duō
林轩悬浮在半空里，而在他身旁，则是密密麻麻的尸体，全部是那些身穿黑袍的修仙者，散落在周侧，足有近百具之多
On the other side,
shuō qǐ lái yě shì zhè xiē rén dǎo méi ， yuán běn fèng mìng qù gōng zhàn yún yǐn zōng yī zhòng yào dì diǎn ， jié guǒ hái méi yǒu dào dá mù dì dì ， què yǔ lín xuān xiá lù xiāng féng ， jié guǒ kě xiǎng ér zhī
说起来也是这些人倒霉，原本奉命去攻占云隐宗一重要地点，结果还没有到达目的地，却与林轩狭路相逢，结果可想而知
Lin Xuan hovered mid-air, surrounded by numerous corpses—cloaked cultivators who had been dispatched to attack an important location in the Cloud Concealment Sect. There were nearly a hundred of them scattered around him.
lín xuān suī bú shì xīn hěn shǒu là zhī tú ， dàn duì yú rù qīn běn mén de dí rén ， zì rán yě méi yǒu shǒu xià liú qíng yī shuō ， píng xīn ér yán ， zhè jìn bǎi rén shí lì bù ruò ， xiū wèi zuì dī de dōu shì yuán yīng jí ， qí zhōng yuán yīng hòu qī de yě yǒu sān fēn zhī yī ， lǐng tóu de liǎng gè ， shì lí hé jí bié de xiū xiān zhě
林轩虽不是心狠手辣之徒，但对于入侵本门的敌人，自然也没有手下留情一说，平心而言，这近百人实力不弱，修为最低的都是元婴级，其中元婴后期的也有三分之一，领头的两个，是离合级别的修仙者
These people were indeed unlucky. They were ordered to capture a key point but ended up meeting Lin Xuan on their way. The outcome was predictable.
zhè me duō rén jù jí ， kān chēng jīng yīng huì jù ， kě xī zāo yù de shì lín xuān ， nà hái yǒu shén me xuán niàn ， qián hòu bù guò jǐ xī ， jiù quán bù yǔn luò ， kě yǐ shuō sī háo huán shǒu zhī lì yě wú
这么多人聚集，堪称精英汇聚，可惜遭遇的是林轩，那还有什么悬念，前后不过几息，就全部陨落，可以说丝毫还手之力也无
Lin Xuan, though not ruthless, did not hesitate to deal with these invaders. Among the nearly one hundred, many had reached the Core Formation stage, and two of them were at the Separation stage—quite formidable opponents in themselves.
xìng cún de jiā huo ， zhǐ yǒu yí gè ， bù guò nà yě shì lín xuān yǒu yì wèi zhī lái zhe
幸存的家伙，只有一个，不过那也是林轩有意为之来着
With such a large group, it was an elite gathering. However, they met their match in Lin Xuan. In just a few breaths, all of them fell, leaving no chance for resistance.
lín xuān liú xià le yī míng xiū wèi zuì gāo de dòng xuán qī xiū xiān zhě ， cǐ shí cǐ kè ， zhèng duì tā shī zhǎn sōu hún zhī shù ……
林轩留下了一名修为最高的洞玄期修仙者，此时此刻，正对他施展搜魂之术……
The only survivor was one Core Formation cultivator whom Lin Xuan had intentionally left alive. He was now using Soul Search to extract the knowledge from this unfortunate soul...
dà yuē guò le bàn zhǎn chá de gōng fu ， lín xuān shǒu zhōng huǒ guāng yì qǐ ， jiāng zhè dǎo méi de jiā huo yě huà wèi le xū wú ， biǎo qíng què shì nán kàn dào jí chù
大约过了半盏茶的功夫，林轩手中火光一起，将这倒霉的家伙也化为了虚无，表情却是难看到极处
---
“ jū rán tiān jué mén de xiū xiān zhě ”
“居然天绝门的修仙者”
About half an hour later, a fireball appeared in Lin Xuan's hand as he turned the unlucky fellow into nothingness. His expression was grim.
lín xuān nán nán zì yǔ ， liǎn shàng lù chū jǐ fēn níng zhòng zhī yì ， zhè tiān jué mén ， bìng bú shì běn jùn de zōng mén ， fàng yǎn nài lóng jiè ， yě shuō bù shàng dǐng jí shì lì
林轩喃喃自语，脸上露出几分凝重之意，这天绝门，并不是本郡的宗门，放眼鼐龙界，也说不上顶级势力
"Turns out it’s a cultivator from the Heavenly Extinction Sect," Lin Xuan muttered under his breath. The Heavenly Extinction Sect wasn't a major force within this region of the Dragon Realm, and its reputation was not top-tier either—just slightly better than the Cloud Concealment Sect.
yě jiù bǐ yún yǐn zōng lüè shèng yī chóu ér yǐ
也就比云隐宗略胜一筹而已
However, the Heavenly Extinction Sect had a fearsome reputation due to its Supreme Elder, Tianjue the Old Monster, who was said to be the first great power in the Dragon Realm after the Tribulation period. In other words, this old monster was among the top experts of the Spirit Formation stage in this world.
rán ér tiān jué mén míng qì què shì jí xiǎng ， zhì yú yuán yīn ， zé shì yīn wèi gāi pài de tài shàng zhǎng lǎo tiān jué lǎo guài ， hào chēng nài lóng jiè dù jié yǐ xià dì yī dà néng
然而天绝门名气却是极响，至于原因，则是因为该派的太上长老天绝老怪，号称鼐龙界渡劫以下第一大能
His abilities were profound and incomparable to ordinary Spirit Formation cultivators. Some even claimed that his strength rivaled that of a Tribulation period avatar, though such claims remained unverified as few had actually seen him fight.
jiǎn dān de shuō ， jiù shì zhè lǎo guài wù ， nǎi shì cǐ jiè fēn shén qī xiū shì zhōng de dì yī gāo shǒu
简单的说，就是这老怪物，乃是此界分神期修士中的第一高手
"Of course, no wonder our sect couldn't hold them off," Lin Xuan sighed but showed little fear. He could not defeat a Tribulation period expert, but he wasn’t concerned about the fame or power of a mere Spirit Formation cultivator. With a burst of speed, he flew towards the front.
yī shēn shén tōng gāo shēn mò cè ， yuǎn bú shì pǔ tōng fēn shén qī xiū shì néng gòu bǐ nǐ ， shèn zhì yǒu chuán yán shuō ， tā de shí lì bǐ qǐ dù jié qī shǒu bèi de huà shēn yě bù xùn sè ， dāng rán ， zhè jǐn jǐn shì chuán shuō ， jù tǐ shì bú shì jiù méi yǒu rén xiǎo de ， bì jìng zhēn jiàn guò zhè wèi tiān jué lǎo guài chū shǒu de xiū shì ， liáo liáo kě shǔ
一身神通高深莫测，远不是普通分神期修士能够比拟，甚至有传言说，他的实力比起渡劫期首辈的化身也不逊色，当然，这仅仅是传说，具体是不是就没有人晓得，毕竟真见过这位天绝老怪出手的修士，寥寥可数
Soon enough, he found another battle. The area was filled with bursts of light and sounds of explosions, like popping beans. Curses and shouts echoed all around him.
“ guài bù dé běn zōng huì dǐ dǎng bù bú zhù ， yuán lái shì zhè dà dí ”
“怪不得本宗会抵挡不不住，原来是这大敌”
Lin Xuan frowned as he sensed the disturbance in the primordial energy. Clearly, this wasn't a minor skirmish; it involved Core Formation cultivators at their peak.
lín xuān tàn le kǒu qì ， liǎn shàng què yě méi yǒu duō shǎo jù yì ， dù jié qī lǎo guài tā dǎ bù guò ， dàn jǐn jǐn shì fēn shén qī ， guǎn tā yǒu duō dà de míng qì ， lín xuān dōu bìng bú shì hěn zài yì ， huà wèi yī dào jīng hóng ， fēng chí diàn chè ， xiàng zhe qián miàn fēi qù le
林轩叹了口气，脸上却也没有多少惧意，渡劫期老怪他打不过，但仅仅是分神期，管他有多大的名气，林轩都并不是很在意，化为一道惊虹，风驰电掣，向着前面飞去了
Indeed, three Core Formation opponents were facing off against a female cultivator named Red Sleeve, who was the head of the Spell Array Peak. She was an elite within the sect but now stood alone, surrounded by three formidable enemies. She struggled to hold them back despite her prowess in array techniques.
hěn kuài ， yòu yǒu fā xiàn ， zhǐ jiàn qián fāng líng guāng kuáng shǎn ， gè sè guāng máng chōng tiān ， bào liè hū xiào zhī shēng rú chǎo dòu zi yì bān ， lián mián bù duàn ， chì hè jiào mà shēng bù jué yú ěr biān
很快，又有发现，只见前方灵光狂闪，各色光芒冲天，爆裂呼啸之声如炒豆子一般，连绵不断，叱喝叫骂声不绝于耳边
---
lín xuān méi tou yí zhòu ， tā yǐ gǎn jué dào tiān dì yuán qì ， zài zhèn dàng bù yǐ ， xiǎn rán zhè yī cì pīn dòu de shuāng fāng ， bù zài shì xiǎo 、 xiā mǐ ， ér shì huò zhēn jià shí de dòng xuán qī
林轩眉头一皱，他已感觉到天地元气，在震荡不已，显然这一次拼斗的双方，不再是小、虾米，而是货真价实的洞玄期
Fortunately, as the head of the Spell Array Peak, she managed to use several portable array flags to fend off the attackers for a while. However, it was only a matter of time before she would fall.
zhèng què de shuō shì dòng xuán diān fēng ， kǎo lǜ liǎng pài de shí lì ， zhè yǐ shì chú tài shàng zhǎng lǎo zhī wài ， zuì wèi gāo duān de zhàn lì ， lín xuān dùn guāng fāng xiàng lüè wēi yī gǎi ， fēi le guò qù
正确的说是洞玄巅峰，考虑两派的实力，这已是除太上长老之外，最为高端的战力，林轩遁光方向略微一改，飞了过去
Lin Xuan didn't know Red Sleeve well but felt an obligation to help his fellow sect members when he saw them.
hěn kuài ， pīn dòu de shuāng fāng jiù yìng rù le yǎn lián lǐ
很快，拼斗的双方就映入了眼帘里
Stopping mid-flight, Lin Xuan noticed that the Heavenly Extinction Sect disciples had just realized who he was.
sān lǐ yī nǚ ， fēn chéng dí duì shuāng fāng
三里一女，分成敌对双方
"Who are you?" a yellow-robed elder shouted in shock. He also knew from their speed that they were no ordinary opponents.
lín xuān mù guāng sǎo guò ， tā men xiū wèi rú hé ， jiù quán dōu liǎo rán yú xīn le
林轩目光扫过，他们修为如何，就全都了然于心了
Lin Xuan didn't have time for pleasantries; he flicked his sleeves and released dozens of sword qi, which grew to several feet long like a tempest, striking the elder with deadly precision.
guǒ rán quán dōu shì diào xuán qī ， rán ér xiū wèi zuì gāo de què shì nà shēn chuān lǜ sè gōng zhuāng de nǚ zǐ ， lín xuān jué de yǒu xiē yǎn shú ， lüè yī sī suǒ ， jiù xiǎng qǐ lái le
果然全都是调玄期，然而修为最高的却是那身穿绿色宫装的女子，林轩觉得有些眼熟，略一思索，就想起来了
The elder was shocked by the speed of Lin Xuan's attack. He had been cautious but still couldn’t avoid it. With a quick gesture, he enlarged his shield tenfold, but it was no match for the sword qi.
cǐ nǚ xìng lí ， míng jiào hóng xiù ， nǎi shì fǎ zhèn fēng fēng zhǔ ， néng gòu zhí zhǎng yī mài ， zì rán shì běn mén de dǐng jiān gāo shǒu ， rán ér cǐ shí cǐ kè ， tā jǐn shì gū jiā guǎ rén yí gè ， què bèi sān míng dòng xuán qī de dí rén wéi gōng ， zì rán shì zuǒ zhī yòu chù ， dǐ dǎng bú zhù
此女姓黎，名叫红袖，乃是法阵峰峰主，能够执掌一脉，自然是本门的顶尖高手，然而此时此刻，她仅是孤家寡人一个，却被三名洞玄期的敌人围攻，自然是左支右绌，抵挡不住
"Ah!"
bì jìng sān míng dí rén ， qí zhōng yě yǒu yí gè hòu qī ， liǎng gè zhōng qī ， zhǐ miàn shí lì ， yuǎn fēi tā kě yǐ qǐ jí
毕竟三名敌人，其中也有一个后期，两个中期，纸面实力，远非她可以企及
The elder screamed as he was cut into pieces, his Core Formation body unable to escape.
hǎo zài cǐ nǚ shì fǎ zhèn fēng fēng zhǔ ， jīng shàn zhèn fǎ zhī shù ， cǐ nǚ jì chū jǐ tào tā suí shēn xié dài de zhèn qí ， zhè cái miǎn qiǎng yìng fù
好在此女是法阵峰峰主，精擅阵法之术，此女祭出几套她随身携带的阵旗，这才勉强应付

不过随着时间的推移，落败那也是迟早地
Postscript: Just now, I saw Moon Lord in the book review section say that I've been lacking recently and apologize. Phantom Rain feels ashamed too; I said this month would be a burst of activity, but here I am not keeping my word. I really want to write more for extra income, but various reasons have kept me from doing so.

林轩与这位黎仙子不熟，不过既是同门，见到了当然没有袖手的道理
No excuses, it's all on me. I'm sorry to everyone who has supported me. Next month, I will definitely work harder and keep my promise. Thank you, Moon Lord and fellow daoists for your support.
dùn guāng yī liǎn ， lín xuān yǐ tíng le xià lái
遁光一敛，林轩已停了下来
Also, please vote for recommendation tickets this Monday.
