然而话是这么没错，可蝼蚁尚且偷生，何况是修仙者。豆腐无弹窗全文字无广告
However, the saying goes that even ants seek to survive. How much more so for cultivators?
jǐn guǎn míng zhī qíng shì è liè dào jí chù ， kě tā yòu zěn me gān xīn shù shǒu jiù fù ne ？
尽管明知情势恶劣到极处，可他又怎么甘心束手就缚呢？
Despite knowing the dire situation, how could he willingly surrender?
“ yuán lái qián bèi gāng cái shì zài bàn zhū chī hǔ ， yī qiè dōu shì wù huì ……”
“原来前辈刚才是在扮猪吃虎，一切都是误会……”
"Originally, Senior was playing a cat and mouse game... all misunderstandings..."
“ wù huì ？”
“误会？”
"Silly misunderstandings?"
lín xuān xiào le ， zhè me cāng bái wú lì de jiě shì yǒu shén me yòng chǔ ， zì jǐ yòu bú shì sān suì de xiǎo hái zi ， suí suí biàn biàn dōu kě yǐ piàn guò ：“ dào yǒu bù yòng bào jiǎo xìng xīn lǐ le ， guāi guāi de qù yīn cáo dì fǔ ， huáng quán lù shàng ， nǐ shī mèi huì hěn lè yì kàn jiàn nǐ de 。”
林轩笑了，这么苍白无力的解释有什么用处，自己又不是三岁的小孩子，随随便便都可以骗过：“道友不用抱侥幸心理了，乖乖的去阴曹地府，黄泉路上，你师妹会很乐意看见你的。”
Lin Xuan smiled. Such a weak explanation would be useless; he wasn't three years old to be easily fooled: "Friend, don’t hold onto any侥幸: lucky chancepsychological hope. Go quietly to the Netherworld, where your junior sister will be delighted to see you."
lín xuān lěng lěng de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， huà yīn wèi luò ， zuǒ shǒu yǐ tái qǐ lái le ， suí zhe tā de dòng zuò ， dǒu rán jiān kuáng fēng dà zuò ， cóng xiù kǒu zhōng yǒng chū shí yú dào yín sè de jiàn guāng lái le 。
林轩冷冷的声音传入耳朵，话音未落，左手已抬起来了，随着他的动作，陡然间狂风大做，从袖口中涌出十余道银色的剑光来了。
Lin Xuan's cold voice entered his ears. Before the words were even finished, his left hand shot up. As he moved, a sudden gale arose, and over ten silver sword lights emerged from his sleeves.
nà xiē jiàn guāng yī chū xiù kǒu ， yíng fēng yī shǎn ， jìng huà wèi le bǎi yú dào zhī duō ， rú kuáng fēng bào yǔ yì bān ， xiàng duì fāng pū tiān gài dì de xí juǎn ……
那些剑光一出袖口，迎风一闪，竟化为了百余道之多，如狂风暴雨一般，向对方铺天盖地的席卷……
These sword lights, upon encountering the wind, transformed into more than a hundred, like a storm, sweeping towards the opponent in all directions...
nà fàn xìng lǎo zhě dà jīng shī sè ， dāng lín xuān kāi kǒu de shí hòu tā jiù fā xiàn le bù tuǒ ， gù ér fǎn yìng yě shì jí wéi xùn sù 。
那范姓老者大惊失色，当林轩开口的时候他就发现了不妥，故而反应也是极为迅速。
The Van surname elder was shocked to the core. He noticed something amiss when Lin Xuan spoke, so he reacted swiftly.
zhǐ jiàn tā shēn xíng dī liū liū yī zhuǎn ， dùn shí ， yī gǔ gǔ huī sè mó qì ， cóng shēn tǐ biǎo miàn pēn bó chū lái ， guǐ kū láng háo shēng dà zuò ， nà xiē mó qì ， qǐng kè jiān ， jiù huà wèi le yī tiáo tiáo shuǐ tǒng cū xì de mǎng shé ， è hěn hěn de xiàng jiàn guāng pū guò qù le 。
只见他身形滴溜溜一转，顿时，一股股灰色魔气，从身体表面喷薄出来，鬼哭狼嚎声大做，那些魔气，顷刻间，就化为了一条条水桶粗细的蟒蛇，恶狠狠的像剑光扑过去了。
He spun around, and grayish magical energy erupted from his body, howling like ghosts and wolves. These magical energies quickly transformed into thick snakes, viciously lunging at the sword lights.
ér lǎo zhě de zhāo shù hái bù zhǐ yú cǐ ， tā kě bù gǎn shē wàng ， zhè yàng de zhāo shù ， jiù néng jiāng fēn shén qī dà néng de gōng jī dǎng zhù ， zài fàng chū mó qì de tóng shí ， tā yǐ xiàng hòu tuì qù ， tóng shí ， jì chū le liǎng gān fāng tiān huà jǐ ……
而老者的招数还不止于此，他可不敢奢望，这样的招数，就能将分神期大能的攻击挡住，在放出魔气的同时，他已向后退去，同时，祭出了两杆方天画戟……
But this wasn't all; the elder had more tricks up his sleeve. He didn’t dare hope that such moves could block a Great Soul Realm cultivator's attack. As he released the magical energy, he retreated and simultaneously summoned two Heavenly Pillar Halberds...
liǎng bǎo yī chū ， lì kè hán máng dà zuò ， shén yǒng yì cháng de dǎng zài tā de shēn qián le 。
两宝一出，立刻寒芒大做，神勇异常的挡在他的身前了。
The two treasures instantly emitted chilling light, standing resolutely in front of him.
rán ér yǒu shén me yòng ！
然而有什么用！
But what use was it?
hěn kuài cuǐ càn de jiàn guāng yǐ shā dào le yǎn qián 。
很快璀璨的剑光已杀到了眼前。
Soon, the dazzling sword lights approached his eyes.
fàng yǎn wàng qù ， zhǐ jiàn yín máng yī piàn 。
放眼望去，只见银芒一片。
Looking around, only silver brilliance could be seen.
bù guǎn shì mó qì biàn huà de mǎng shé ， hái shì nà duì fāng tiān huà jǐ ， dōu méi yǒu qǐ dào bàn fēn yòng chǔ ， qǐng kè zhī jiān ， jiù yǐ bèi jiǎo wèi le fěn mò 。
不管是魔气变化的蟒蛇，还是那对方天画戟，都没有起到半分用处，顷刻之间，就已被剿为了粉末。
Whether they were snakes transformed from magical energy or those halberds, none proved effective; they were all reduced to powder within an instant.
lǎo zhě hún fēi pò sàn diào le 。
老者魂飞魄散掉了。
The elder's soul and body scattered in panic.
“ qián bèi ráo mìng ！”
“前辈饶命！”
"Senior, spare me!"
tā yī biān shēn xíng yī shǎn ， cháo zhe xié cì lǐ jī shè kāi ， yī biān dà shēng qiú ráo 。
他一边身形一闪，朝着斜刺里激射开，一边大声求饶。
He flashed away in a different direction while loudly begging for mercy.
rán ér lín xuān shì ruò wú dǔ ， duì yú zhè zhǒng xīn hěn shǒu là ， bèi xìn qì yì de jiā huo hái xū yào shǒu xià liú qíng me ？
然而林轩视若无睹，对于这种心狠手辣，背信弃义的家伙还需要手下留情么？
But Lin Xuan ignored him. Wasn’t it necessary to be lenient towards such heartless traitors?
jiàn guāng jiāng tā de zhāo shù pò chú ， sī háo tíng dùn yě wú ， rú yǐng suí xíng bān de zhuī shàng qù le 。
剑光将他的招数破除，丝毫停顿也无，如影随形般的追上去了。
The sword lights broke his attack without pause, chasing after him like shadows.
cǎn jiào shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， è rén zì yǒu è rén mó ， fàn xìng lǎo zhě jī guān suàn jìn ， zuì hòu què hái shì yǔn luò zài lín xuān de shǒu zhōng ， lián yuán yīng dōu méi yǒu lái de jí táo chū ， zhǐ shèng xià yī chǔ wù dài gū líng líng de zài nà lǐ xuán fú 。
惨叫声传入耳朵，恶人自有恶人磨，范姓老者机关算尽，最后却还是陨落在林轩的手中，连元婴都没有来得及逃出，只剩下一储物袋孤零零的在那里悬浮。
A scream echoed as the wicked had their due. Despite all his cunning, the Van surname elder was ultimately defeated by Lin Xuan, who didn't even allow time for his soul to escape before leaving behind a solitary storage bag floating in the air.
dòng xuán qī xiū shì de bǎo wù ， lín xuān wèi bì kàn dé shàng yǎn ， dàn sú huà shuō ， wén zi tuǐ zài xiǎo yě shì ròu ， làng fèi shì kě chǐ de 。
洞玄期修士的宝物，林轩未必看得上眼，但俗话说，蚊子腿再小也是肉，浪费是可耻的。
While a Daoist of Profound Knowledge Realm might not care much about such treasures, it's said that even a mosquito’s leg is meat. Wasting resources was shameful.
lín xuān zǒu shàng liǎng bù ， shēn shǒu jiāng chǔ wù dài zhuā zhù ， suí hòu cái dī xià tou ， dǎ liàng qǐ shēn qián de de bǎo wù 。
林轩走上两步，伸手将储物袋抓住，随后才低下头，打量起身前的的宝物。
Lin Xuan took two steps forward and grabbed the storage bag with his hand. He then lowered his head to examine the treasures before him.
nà xiē qí huā yì cǎo ， quán bù bǎi fàng zài yá chuáng zhī shàng ， gòng yǒu shí yú zhǒng zhī duō ， kě yǐ shuō ， měi yī yàng bǎo wù ， quán shì fēi tóng xiǎo kě 。
那些奇花异草，全部摆放在牙床之上，共有十余种之多，可以说，每一样宝物，全是非同小可。
Dozens of rare flowers and exotic herbs were displayed on the bed, each one valuable beyond measure.
jià zhí zhī dà ， kàn dé lín xuān yě pēng rán xīn dòng 。
价值之大，看得林轩也怦然心动。
The value was so great that it made Lin Xuan’s heart race.
píng xīn lái shuō ， zhè yī cì mào xiǎn ， hái zhēn méi yǒu bái máng huó 。
平心来说，这一次冒险，还真没有白忙活。
In truth, this adventure hadn’t been in vain.
rán ér lín xuān de liǎn shàng ， què mǎn shì gǔ guài zhī sè ， zhè yī cì shōu huò shì hěn fēng fù méi cuò ， rán ér zhè xiē qí huā yì cǎo zhōng gēn běn jiù méi yǒu tōng líng zhī wù ， huàn jù huà shuō ， yě bù kě néng ná lái liàn zhì shēn nèi huà shēn le 。
然而林轩的脸上，却满是古怪之色，这一次收获是很丰富没错，然而这些奇花异草中根本就没有通灵之物，换句话说，也不可能拿来炼制身内化身了。
However, a strange expression crossed Lin Xuan's face. While the harvest was indeed rich, none of these plants had any spirit essence, meaning they couldn't be used to refine inner avatars.
zhè cì xún bǎo ， shōu huò shì bù fēi ， dàn mù dì què méi yǒu dá dào 。
这次寻宝，收获是不菲，但目的却没有达到。
Though the treasure hunt yielded much, its purpose remained unfulfilled.
lín xuān fā dāi le piàn kè ， tàn le kǒu qì ， suí hòu yòu shēn shēn hū xī ， kāi shǐ tiáo zhěng zì jǐ de qíng xù 。
林轩发呆了片刻，叹了口气，随后又深深呼吸，开始调整自己的情绪。
Lin Xuan stood still for a moment before sighing and taking deep breaths to calm himself.
qí shí ， gēn běn jiù méi yǒu shén me hǎo yù mèn dì 。
其实，根本就没有什么好郁闷地。
Actually, there was nothing to be upset about.
sú huà shuō ， rén guì zhī zú ， dé dào le zhè me duō nì tiān zhī wù ， zì jǐ hái yǒu shén me hǎo bào yuàn de 。
俗话说，人贵知足，得到了这么多逆天之物，自己还有什么好抱怨的。
One is supposed to be content with what one has; having obtained so many extraordinary treasures, what more could he complain about?
zì jǐ lái dào bīng hǎi jiè cái duō jiǔ ， jiù suàn zhè yī cì méi yǒu xún zhǎo dào hé yòng de bǎo wù ， yǐ hòu bù yě hái yǒu jī huì me ？
自己来到冰海界才多久，就算这一次没有寻找到合用的宝物，以后不也还有机会么？
How long had it been since he arrived in the Ice Sea Realm? Even if this time hadn’t yielded suitable treasures, wouldn’t there still be opportunities in the future?
lín xuān rú cǐ zhè bān de xiǎng zhe ， xīn qíng dùn shí hǎo le xǔ duō ， xiù páo yī fú ， jiāng yá chuáng zhōng de shì wù yī yī shōu qǐ lái le 。
林轩如此这般的想着，心情顿时好了许多，袖袍一拂，将牙床中的事物一一收起来了。
With these thoughts, Lin Xuan's mood improved. He swept his sleeves and stored all the items on the bed.
suí hòu lín xuān yòu zài zhěng gè dòng fǔ zhōng zǎi zǐ xì xì de xún zhǎo le yī biàn ， yī jiù shì méi yǒu rèn hé fā xiàn 。
随后林轩又在整个洞府中仔仔细细的寻找了一遍，依旧是没有任何发现。
After thoroughly searching the entire cave, no further discoveries were made.
yú shì ， lín xuān yě sǐ xīn le ， huà wèi yī dào jīng hóng ， lí kāi le líng huā xiān zi de dòng fǔ 。
于是，林轩也死心了，化为一道惊虹，离开了灵花仙子的洞府。
Thus, Lin Xuan gave up and transformed into a streak of lightning, leaving the Fairy of Profound Flowers' abode.
zhè cì xún bǎo suī rán méi yǒu dá dào mù dì ， dàn shōu huò hái shì bù fēi dì ， lín xuān zhǔn bèi lí kāi zhè shì fēi zhī dì ， bì jìng cóng nà shé yāo de kǒu lǐ ， lín xuān zhī dào rú jīn de hán pò bīng yuán kě shì wēi jī chóng chóng ， suī rán yǐ tā de shí lì bìng bù hài pà ， dàn méi yǒu hǎo chù ， lín xuān yě wú xìng qù qù chān huo yāo zú de xián shì a ！
这次寻宝虽然没有达到目的，但收获还是不菲地，林轩准备离开这是非之地，毕竟从那蛇妖的口里，林轩知道如今的寒魄冰原可是危机重重，虽然以他的实力并不害怕，但没有好处，林轩也无兴趣去掺和妖族的闲事啊！
Although this treasure hunt hadn’t achieved its goal, theharvest was still considerable. Lin Xuan planned to leave this dangerous place; after all, he knew from the snake demon that the Frozen Soul Ice Plain was fraught with danger. While his strength wasn't intimidated by it, he had no interest in getting involved in the affairs of demons.
yí gè rén gǎn lù ， bǐ qǐ lái shí tóng jǐ míng dòng xuán qī xiū shì yì qǐ ， míng xiǎn yòu róng yì le yī xiē ， bì jìng zhè shí hòu lín xuān méi yǒu bì yào zài yǐn cáng shí lì ， kě yǐ jiāng liǎn qì shù hé yǐn nì shén tōng háo wú bǎo liú de fā huī dào jí zhì 。
一个人赶路，比起来时同几名洞玄期修士一起，明显又容易了一些，毕竟这时候林轩没有必要再隐藏实力，可以将敛气术和隐匿神通毫无保留的发挥到极致。
Traveling alone was much easier than when accompanied by several Profound Knowledge Realm cultivators. He didn’t need to hide his power anymore and could fully utilize his Qi Control Technique and concealment abilities.
yī lù xíng lái ， nà shé yāo guǒ rán méi yǒu sā huǎng ， zhěng gè hán pò bīng yuán nèi sōng wài jǐn ， jìn lái shí xiāng duì róng yì ， zhè xiǎng yào chū qù ， zé kùn nán yǐ jí 。
一路行来，那蛇妖果然没有撒谎，整个寒魄冰原内松外紧，进来时相对容易，这想要出去，则困难以极。
As he journeyed, the snake demon hadn't lied; the Frozen Soul Ice Plain had a tight inner defense with an easy entrance but difficult exit.
yī lù shàng ， gāo jiē yāo zú bù jì qí shù ， gè zhǒng jìn zhì ， hái yǒu dī jiē yāo shòu ， shù liàng yě shì shǔ bù shèng shǔ 。
一路上，高阶妖族不计其数，各种禁制，还有低阶妖兽，数量也是数不胜数。
On his way, countless high-rank demons were encountered, along with various prohibitions and numerous low-rank beasts.
biǎo miàn shàng kàn ， nà xiē dī jiē yāo shòu de shí lì bù zhí yī tí ， dàn qí shí ， tā men dōu kě yǐ zuò wéi yāo xiū men de ěr mù ， gù ér lín xuān shì sī háo dà yì bù dé 。
表面上看，那些低阶妖兽的实力不值一提，但其实，牠们都可以作为妖修们的耳目，故而林轩是丝毫大意不得。
Though these low-rank beasts seemed insignificant in strength, they served as eyes for demon cultivators. Hence, Lin Xuan was never complacent.
hǎo zài lín xuān de yǐn nì qián cáng zhī shù shí zài shì xuán miào yì cháng ， gù ér yī lù xíng lái ， biǎo miàn shàng kàn ， chù chù chōng mǎn le wēi xiǎn ， qí shí què shì rú lǚ píng dì ， jiù zhè yàng ， yī lián shù rì guò qù 。
好在林轩的隐匿潜藏之术实在是玄妙异常，故而一路行来，表面上看，处处充满了危险，其实却是如履平地，就这样，一连数日过去。
Fortunately, his concealment techniques were so extraordinary that he faced no real danger. It felt like walking on flat ground despite the apparent dangers. Days passed this way.
sú huà shuō ， yú yǔ xióng zhǎng bù kě jiān dé ， yīn wèi yào shī zhǎn yǐn nì zhī shù ， suǒ yǐ lín xuān fēi xíng de sù dù zì rán shì kuài bù liǎo de ， yī lián jǐ tiān guò qù le ， yě bìng méi yǒu gǎn duō shǎo lù ， yī jiù zài gāo jiē yāo zú de shì lì fàn wéi zhōng 。
俗话说，鱼与熊掌不可兼得，因为要施展隐匿之术，所以林轩飞行的速度自然是快不了的，一连几天过去了，也并没有赶多少路，依旧在高阶妖族的势力范围中。
As the saying goes, one cannot have both fish and bear's paw. Due to the need for concealment, Lin Xuan’s flight speed was naturally slow. After several days, he hadn’t traveled far and remained within the high-rank demons' territory.
zhè tiān qīng chén ， wàn lǐ wú yún ， yī dào huī méng méng de jīng hóng yóu tiān jì huá guò ， shuō shì jīng hóng ， qí shí què bù xiǎn yǎn yǐ jí ， jí shǐ zài hěn jìn de jù lí ， yě nán yǐ kàn qīng chǔ ， ér qiě jī hū méi yǒu líng qì wài lù 。
这天清晨，万里无云，一道灰蒙蒙的惊虹由天际划过，说是惊虹，其实却不显眼以极，即使在很近的距离，也难以看清楚，而且几乎没有灵气外露。
That morning, the sky was clear with no clouds. A dim streak of lightning crossed from the horizon. Though it looked like a streak of lightning, it wasn't noticeable at all; even up close, one couldn't see much, and there was hardly any magical energy revealed.
dùn guāng zhōng ， lín xuān yōu rán de gǎn lù 。
遁光中，林轩悠然的赶路。
In his concealment, Lin Xuan leisurely traveled through the area.
suī rán zhè fù jìn ， sàn luò zhe bù shǎo yāo zú ， shèn zhì hái yǒu jǐ míng gāo jiē yāo xiū ， dàn lín xuān bù zài hū ， duì zì jǐ de shén tōng ， tā xìn xīn shí zú ， zhè jǐ rì ， tā hǎo duō cì cóng gāo jiē yāo xiū shēn biān fēi guò ， duì fāng sī háo méi yǒu gǎn jué dào bù tuǒ 。
虽然这附近，散落着不少妖族，甚至还有几名高阶妖修，但林轩不在乎，对自己的神通，他信心十足，这几日，他好多次从高阶妖修身边飞过，对方丝毫没有感觉到不妥。
Though many demons were scattered around, including several high-rank demon cultivators, he didn’t care. He had full confidence in his abilities and had flown past high-rank demons multiple times without arousing suspicion.
suǒ yǐ lín xuān yě bù dǎ suàn rào lù 。
所以林轩也不打算绕路。
Thus, he wasn't planning to detour.
rán ér zhè yī cì ， tā cuò le 。
然而这一次，他错了。
However, this time, he was wrong.
xià fāng de bīng miàn shàng ， yī xíng rú wō niú de yāo shòu màn màn de pá zhe ， kàn shàng qù ， háo wú qǐ yǎn zhī chù ， rán ér zhè zhǒng dī jiē yāo shòu bié de shén tōng méi yǒu ， què néng kàn pò shì jiān jué dà duō shù de huàn shù 。
下方的冰面上，一形如蜗牛的妖兽慢慢的爬着，看上去，毫无起眼之处，然而这种低阶妖兽别的神通没有，却能看破世间绝大多数的幻术。
On the ice below, a low-rank beast resembling a snail slowly crawled. Unremarkable at first glance, it could discern most illusions in the world due to its special abilities.
tā tóu shàng de liǎng gēn chù jiǎo dòng le dòng ， suí hòu ， jiān xiào shēng dà qǐ ， shù dào jīng hóng cóng yuǎn chù tóng shí shēng qǐ ， zhí bēn lín xuān fēi shè ér lái 。
牠头上的两根触角动了动，随后，尖啸声大起，数道惊虹从远处同时升起，直奔林轩飞射而来。
Its two antennae moved, and then a sharp scream rang out as several streaks of lightning shot from afar, flying straight towards Lin Xuan.
“ bù hǎo ！”
“不好！”
"Bad luck!"
lín xuān de dùn guāng zhòu rán tíng zhù ， liǎn sè yīn mái yǐ jí ， zhè hái zhēn shì yīn gōu lǐ fān chuán ， tā zuò mèng yě méi yǒu xiǎng dào ， gāo jiē yāo xiū dōu ná zì jǐ mò nài hé ， tā de xíng zōng ， què huì bèi yī dī jiē yāo shòu ， mò míng qí miào de fā xiàn 。
林轩的遁光骤然停住，脸色阴霾以极，这还真是阴沟里翻船，他做梦也没有想到，高阶妖修都拿自己没奈何，他的行踪，却会被一低阶妖兽，莫名其妙的发现。
Lin Xuan's flight suddenly stopped; his face darkened. This was truly like sinking into quicksand. He never expected that high-rank demons couldn’t do anything to him, but a low-rank beast had somehow discovered his tracks.
tài dà yì le ！
太大意了！
He had been too careless!
bù guò nù guī nù ， lín xuān què méi yǒu shén me jīng huāng zhī sè ， rán ér jiù zài zhè shí ， yuǎn chù yì máng yòu qǐ ， suí hòu màn tiān dōu shì páng bó de yāo qì ， hōng lōng lóng rú tóng gǔn léi bān de shēng yīn chuán rù le ěr duǒ lǐ ， nà yì máng yǐ jí kuài de sù dù fēi xiàng le zhè lǐ 。
不过怒归怒，林轩却没有什么惊慌之色，然而就在这时，远处异芒又起，随后漫天都是磅礴的妖气，轰隆隆如同滚雷般的声音传入了耳朵里，那异芒以极快的速度飞像了这里。
Though angry, Lin Xuan showed no signs of panic. Just then, distant light flared up, followed by overwhelming demonic energy and thunderous sounds in his ears as the strange light rushed towards him.
Chapter 2487 - Exposed Tracks
However, the saying goes that even ants seek to survive. How much more so for cultivators?
Despite knowing the dire situation, how could he willingly surrender?
"Originally, Senior was playing a cat and mouse game... all misunderstandings..."
"Silly misunderstandings?"
Lin Xuan smiled. Such a weak explanation would be useless; he wasn't three years old to be easily fooled: "Friend, don’t hold onto any侥幸: lucky chancepsychological hope. Go quietly to the Netherworld, where your junior sister will be delighted to see you."
Lin Xuan's cold voice entered his ears. Before the words were even finished, his left hand shot up. As he moved, a sudden gale arose, and over ten silver sword lights emerged from his sleeves.
These sword lights, upon encountering the wind, transformed into more than a hundred, like a storm, sweeping towards the opponent in all directions...
The Van surname elder was shocked to the core. He noticed something amiss when Lin Xuan spoke, so he reacted swiftly.
He spun around, and grayish magical energy erupted from his body, howling like ghosts and wolves. These magical energies quickly transformed into thick snakes, viciously lunging at the sword lights.
But this wasn't all; the elder had more tricks up his sleeve. He didn’t dare hope that such moves could block a Great Soul Realm cultivator's attack. As he released the magical energy, he retreated and simultaneously summoned two Heavenly Pillar Halberds...
The two treasures instantly emitted chilling light, standing resolutely in front of him.
But what use was it?
Soon, the dazzling sword lights approached his eyes.
Looking around, only silver brilliance could be seen.
Whether they were snakes transformed from magical energy or those halberds, none proved effective; they were all reduced to powder within an instant.
The elder's soul and body scattered in panic.

He flashed away in a different direction while loudly begging for mercy.
But Lin Xuan ignored him. Wasn’t it necessary to be lenient towards such heartless traitors?
The sword lights broke his attack without pause, chasing after him like shadows.
"Ahh..."
A scream echoed as the wicked had their due. Despite all his cunning, the Van surname elder was ultimately defeated by Lin Xuan, who didn't even allow time for his soul to escape before leaving behind a solitary storage bag floating in the air.

Lin Xuan took two steps forward and grabbed the storage bag with his hand. He then lowered his head to examine the treasures before him.
Dozens of rare flowers and exotic herbs were displayed on the bed, each one valuable beyond measure.
The value was so great that it made Lin Xuan’s heart race.

Fortunately, his concealment techniques were so extraordinary that he faced no real danger. It felt like walking on flat ground despite the apparent dangers. Days passed this way.
As the saying goes, one cannot have both fish and bear's paw. Due to the need for concealment, Lin Xuan’s flight speed was naturally slow. After several days, he hadn’t traveled far and remained within the high-rank demons' territory.
...
That morning, the sky was clear with no clouds. A dim streak of lightning crossed from the horizon. Though it looked like a streak of lightning, it wasn't noticeable at all; even up close, one couldn't see much, and there was hardly any magical energy revealed.
In his concealment, Lin Xuan leisurely traveled through the area.
Though many demons were scattered around, including several high-rank demon cultivators, he didn’t care. He had full confidence in his abilities and had flown past high-rank demons multiple times without arousing suspicion.
Thus, he wasn't planning to detour.
However, this time, he was wrong.
On the ice below, a low-rank beast resembling a snail slowly crawled. Unremarkable at first glance, it could discern most illusions in the world due to its special abilities.
Its two antennae moved, and then a sharp scream rang out as several streaks of lightning shot from afar, flying straight towards Lin Xuan.
"Bad luck!"
Lin Xuan's flight suddenly stopped; his face darkened. This was truly like sinking into quicksand. He never expected that high-rank demons couldn’t do anything to him, but a low-rank beast had somehow discovered his tracks.
He had been too careless!
Though angry, Lin Xuan showed no signs of panic. Just then, distant light flared up, followed by overwhelming demonic energy and thunderous sounds in his ears as the strange light rushed towards him.
