Chapter 2504:步步紧逼
rú cǐ yī lái ， tā de shēn xíng zì rán bào lù ， gé lóu zhōng de yāo zú ， quán bù xún shēng huí guò le tóu lú 。（ quán wén zì diàn zi shū miǎn fèi xià zài ）
如此一来，他的身形自然暴露，阁楼中的妖族，全部循声回过了头颅。（全文字电子书免费下载）
With this, his figure naturally became visible. All the妖族 in the pavilion turned their heads towards him.
páo xiāo shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， duō bì xióng de liǎn shàng mǎn shì huì nù ， chóu rén jiàn miàn ， fèn wài yǎn hóng 。
咆哮声传入耳朵，多臂熊的脸上满是恚怒，仇人见面，分外眼红。
The roar entered his ears, and the multi-armed bear's face was filled with anger. Enemies meeting each other made them see red.
ér hán shǔ wáng de shén sè ， zé píng jìng xǔ duō ， zhè lǎo jiā huǒ shí lì zàn qiě bù tí ， xīn jī què shì hěn shēn chén dì ， yǐ dào xǐ nù bù xíng yú sè de jìng dì 。
而寒鼠王的神色，则平静许多，这老家伙实力暂且不提，心机却是很深沉地，已到喜怒不行于色的境地。
However, the寒鼠王’s expression was much calmer. Although this old fellow’s strength was not to be underestimated, his cunning had reached a level where he could hide his emotions well.
“ dà kuài tóu ！”
“大块头！”
"Big guy!"
xiǎo gōng zhǔ yě rěn bú zhù yī shēng jiāo hū ， yīn wèi shì tài jǐn jí ， suǒ yǐ jiāng lín xuān wàng zài le nà lǐ ， cǐ kè kàn jiàn tā de zōng jì ， xīn zhōng shì yòu yōu yòu xǐ 。
小公主也忍不住一声娇呼，因为事态紧急，所以将林轩忘在了那里，此刻看见他的踪迹，心中是又忧又喜。
The little princess couldn't help but let out a soft cry of concern as she saw him. The situation was urgent, and she had forgotten about Lin Xuan for the moment. Now that she saw his figure, her heart was filled with both worry and relief.
yī shí jiān ， zhòng yāo xīn qíng gè yì 。
一时间，众妖心情各异。
For a moment, all the creatures in the pavilion felt different emotions.
rán ér lín xuān què méi yǒu tài zài yì ， cǐ kè ， tā jué dà bù fèn xīn shén ， dōu jí zhōng yú yī rén shēn shàng ér yǐ 。
然而林轩却没有太在意，此刻，他绝大部分心神，都集中于一人身上而已。
However, Lin Xuan wasn't too concerned. At this moment, most of his mind was focused on one person: Xuan Ice Ancestor!
xuán bīng lǎo zǔ ！
玄冰老祖！
Although what faced him now was not a true Golden Period monster but just an avatar that had escaped its original control, Lin Xuan still couldn't afford to be careless.
suī rán ， yǎn qián de bìng fēi zhēn zhèng de dù jié qī lǎo guài wù ， ér zhǐ shì yī jù yǐ tuō lí běn tǐ zhǎng kòng de huà shēn bà le ， dàn ráo shì rú cǐ ， lín xuān yě bù gǎn yǒu fēn háo de qīng shì 。
虽然，眼前的并非真正的渡劫期老怪物，而只是一具已脱离本体掌控的化身罢了，但饶是如此，林轩也不敢有分毫的轻视。
A Golden Period existence could only look up at the current self. Although this avatar wasn't the main body, it was far beyond ordinary Spirit Formation period cultivators in terms of strength.
dù jié qī cún zài ， biàn shì rú jīn de zì jǐ ， yě zhǐ néng yǎng shì ， suī rán huà shēn bú shì běn tǐ ， rán ér shí lì ， yě yuǎn fēi pǔ tōng de fēn shén qī xiū shì kě yǐ bǐ nǐ 。
渡劫期存在，便是如今的自己，也只能仰视，虽然化身不是本体，然而实力，也远非普通的分神期修士可以比拟。
Moreover, before him was a妖族 with unknown innate abilities. As an old saying goes: one can judge a book by its cover. The试探 he had just made already left Lin Xuan wary.
ér qiě yǎn qián zhè ge shì yāo zú ， yǒu shén me tiān fù jì néng lín xuān suī bù qīng chǔ ， dàn sú huà shuō ， yóu yì diǎn kě kuī quán mào ， gāng cái nà yī xià shì tàn ， yǐ ràng lín xuān duì tā xīn cún jì dàn le 。
而且眼前这个是妖族，有什么天赋技能林轩虽不清楚，但俗话说，由一点可窥全貌，刚才那一下试探，已让林轩对他心存忌惮了。
While Lin Xuan sized up the old monster, it wasn't idle either. Its originally narrow eyes narrowed further as it looked at Lin Xuan. And in his deep eyes, there was an intermittent flicker of red light, making him exude a powerful and eerie aura.
lín xuān zài dǎ liàng tā de tóng shí ， nà lǎo yāo guài yě méi yǒu xián zhe ， yuán běn jiù xiá cháng de yǎn jīng wēi wēi mī qǐ ， xiàng zhe lín xuān wàng le guò qù 。
林轩在打量他的同时，那老妖怪也没有闲着，原本就狭长的眼睛微微眯起，像着林轩望了过去。
"Hmph! A human cultivator? Princess Fragrance, when multi-armed bear and cold mouse found me with evidence, they accused the Snow Fox clan of colluding with human cultivators to steal from the Holy Temple. I was half-skeptical at first but now that I see you here, a human boy, what explanation do you have?"
ér qiě tā de yǎn móu shēn chù ， yǐn yǐn yǒu yī sī hóng máng shǎn shuò bù yǐ ， zhěng gè rén sàn fà chū lái de qì xī ， bù zhǐ qiáng dà ， ér qiě xiǎn de fēi cháng de guǐ yì 。（ quán wén zì diàn zi shū miǎn fèi xià zài ）
而且他的眼眸深处，隐隐有一丝红芒闪烁不已，整个人散发出来的气息，不止强大，而且显得非常的诡异。（全文字电子书免费下载）
The old monster's cold voice echoed in his ears, but its words were shocking.
“ hēng ， jū rán shì yī rén lèi de xiū xiān zhě ， xiāng ér gōng zhǔ ， yuán běn duō bì xióng yǔ hán shǔ zhǎo dào běn zuò ， chū shì zhèng jù ， gào nǐ xuě hú yī zú gōu jié rén lèi xiū shì ， jiān shǒu zì dào ， qiè qǔ le shèng diàn de bǎo wù ， yuán běn lǎo fū hái bàn xìn bàn yí ， méi xiǎng dào zhēn zài cǐ dì jiàn zhe le zhè me yī rén lèi de xiǎo zi ， bù zhī nǐ xiǎng yào zuò hé jiě shì ？”
“哼，居然是一人类的修仙者，香儿公主，原本多臂熊与寒鼠找到本座，出示证据，告妳雪狐一族勾结人类修士，监守自盗，窃取了圣殿的宝物，原本老夫还半信半疑，没想到真在此地见着了这么一人类的小子，不知妳想要作何解释？”
"What? This hateful human is a cultivator?" The multi-armed bear was both shocked and angry, looking even more hostile towards Lin Xuan.
nà lǎo yāo wù lěng lěng de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ lǐ ， rán ér suǒ shuō de nèi róng ， què shì zhèn hàn yǐ jí 。
那老妖物冷冷的声音传入耳朵里，然而所说的内容，却是震撼以极。
Meanwhile, the寒鼠王’s expression changed. He first froze for a moment before showing an uncontrollable look of joy on his face.
“ shén me ， zhè kě wù de jiā huo shì rén lèi xiū shì ？” duō bì xióng yòu jīng yòu nù ， kàn xiàng lín xuān de biǎo qíng gèng bù shàn le 。
“什么，这可恶的家伙是人类修士？”多臂熊又惊又怒，看向林轩的表情更不善了。
Heaven doth make men sin but gives them life; man makes his own sins and cannot escape them!
ér nà hán shǔ wáng zé xiān shì yī dāi ， suí hòu liǎn shàng háo bù yǎn shì de lù chū le kuáng xǐ de biǎo qíng lái 。
而那寒鼠王则先是一呆，随后脸上毫不掩饰的露出了狂喜的表情来。
Originally, they had planned to frame the Snow Fox clan for a long time, but in truth, they weren't entirely confident. They were somewhat anxious about it, especially with the evidence. In this world, there was no such thing as perfect proof, let alone fake ones. They feared being exposed, but now, Princess Fragrance's cleverness turned into foolishness. She had invited a wolf into her den. Regardless of his relationship with Lin Xuan, in this situation, it would be impossible to clear their name of stealing from the Holy Temple.
tiān zuò niè ， yóu kě huó ， zì zuò niè ， bù kě huó ！
天做孽，犹可活，自作孽，不可活！
Thinking this, the寒鼠王’s eyes narrowed and a smile appeared on his lips. The little fox's face turned pale.
yuán běn xiàn hài xuě hú yī zú ， tā men suī shì móu huà le xǔ jiǔ de rèn wù ， dàn píng xīn lái shuō ， hái shì méi yǒu jué duì de bǎ wò ， xīn zhōng duō shǎo yǒu diǎn zhuì zhuì bù ān de 。
原本陷害雪狐一族，他们虽是谋划了许久的任务，但平心来说，还是没有绝对的把握，心中多少有点惴惴不安的。
She was still angry at the cold mouse and ice bear clans for their shameless actions just now. But Xuan Ice Ancestor's appearance made her realize something was amiss.
tè bié shì zhèng jù ， zhè shì jiè shàng běn méi yǒu tiān yī wú fèng de dōng xī ， gèng hé kuàng shì wěi zào zhī wù ， tā men jià huò yú xuě hú yī zú ， xīn zhōng yě yǒu diǎn hài pà bèi bié rén kàn chū pò zhàn yǔ bù tuǒ ， rán ér xiàn zài hǎo le ， zhè wèi xiāng ér gōng zhǔ cōng míng yī shì hú tú yī shí ， zì jǐ yǐn láng rù shì ， bù guǎn tā yǔ zhè xìng lín de xiǎo zi shì shén me guān xì ， rú jīn zài zhè zhǒng qíng kuàng xià ， nà jiù shì tiào jìn huáng hé ， yě xiū xiǎng shuō dé qīng chǔ ， tōu dào shèng diàn bǎo wù de zuì míng ， xuě hú zú suàn shì zuò le yí gè bǎn shàng dìng dīng 。
特别是证据，这世界上本没有天衣无缝的东西，更何况是伪造之物，他们嫁祸于雪狐一族，心中也有点害怕被别人看出破绽与不妥，然而现在好了，这位香儿公主聪明一世糊涂一时，自己引狼入室，不管她与这姓林的小子是什么关系，如今在这种情况下，那就是跳进黄河，也休想说得清楚，偷盗圣殿宝物的罪名，雪狐族算是坐了一个板上钉钉。
Then, Big Guy's figure became visible. If he could be considered a妖族, it wouldn't matter much; they could say he was a new guest scholar of the clan.
xiǎng dào zhè lǐ ， hán shǔ wáng liǎng yǎn wēi mī ， zuǐ jiǎo biān yùn hán le xiào yì ， ér xiǎo hú lí de liǎn sè ， zé shuā de yī xià cāng bái yǐ jí 。
想到这里，寒鼠王两眼微眯，嘴角边蕴含了笑意，而小狐狸的脸色，则刷的一下苍白以极。
But she had underestimated Xuan Ice Ancestor’s abilities. He discovered Big Guy's human identity in one fell swoop and recognized him as a cultivator.
gāng gāng tā hái zài wèi hán shǔ ， bīng xióng liǎng zú de wú chǐ ér fèn nù ， rán ér nà bīng lǎo yāo de xiàn shēn ， què yī xià zi ràng tā chá jué dào le bù tuǒ 。
刚刚她还在为寒鼠，冰熊两族的无耻而愤怒，然而那冰老妖的现身，却一下子让她察觉到了不妥。
This put their situation in a very precarious position.
jǐn jiē zhe ， dà kuài tóu de shēn xíng bào lù ， yuán běn ， ruò shì tā yī jiù néng bèi dàng zuò yāo zú ， nà yě méi yǒu shén me ， dà bù liǎo shuō tā shì běn zú xīn zhāo lǎn lái de kè qīng bà le 。
紧接着，大块头的身形暴露，原本，若是他依旧能被当作妖族，那也没有什么，大不了说他是本族新招揽来的客卿罢了。
Although she believed Big Guy didn't steal from the Holy Temple, the others insisted on it and said he was colluding with them.
kě zì jǐ hái shì xiǎo kàn le bīng lǎo yāo de fǎ shù ， jū rán yí gè zhào miàn jiù fā xiàn le dà kuài tóu de bù tuǒ ， jiāng tā rén lèi xiū shì de shēn fèn rèn chū 。
可自己还是小看了冰老妖的法术，居然一个照面就发现了大块头的不妥，将他人类修士的身份认出。
When there is a will, there is a way. Such reasoning might be weak but would still persuade unknowing creatures. Thus, the Snow Fox clan had no chance to clear their name.
rú cǐ yī lái ， běn zú de chǔ jìng kě jiù fēi cháng bù tuǒ 。
如此一来，本族的处境可就非常不妥。
Xuan Ice Ancestor always looked down upon their clan. With the cold mouse and ice bear working together from inside and outside, seizing this opportunity, how could he let it slip away?
suī rán zì jǐ xiāng xìn dà kuài tóu méi ná shèng diàn de bǎo wù ， rán ér nà jǐ gè jiā huo què yī kǒu rèn dìng ， bìng qiě shuō tā yǔ běn zú xiāng gōu jié 。
虽然自己相信大块头没拿圣殿的宝物，然而那几个家伙却一口认定，并且说他与本族相勾结。
"Big sister, what should I do?"
yù jiā zhī zuì hé huàn wú cí ， suī rán zhè yàng de tuī lǐ ， bù guò shì qiān qiǎng fù huì ， rán ér duì yú bù zhī qíng de yāo zú ， hái shì hěn yǒu shuō fú lì de ， rú cǐ yī lái ， xuě hú zú kě jiù bǎi kǒu mò biàn le 。
欲加之罪何患无辞，虽然这样的推理，不过是牵强附会，然而对于不知情的妖族，还是很有说服力的，如此一来，雪狐族可就百口莫辩了。
The little princess was at a loss. She had fallen into someone else's trap; getting in was easy, but escaping would be much harder.
nà bīng lǎo yāo běn lái jiù kàn běn zú bù shùn yǎn ， tóng hán shǔ bīng xióng lǐ yìng wài hé ， rú jīn dǎi zhe zhè yàng de jī huì ， tā qǐ huì qīng yì fàng guò 。
那冰老妖本来就看本族不顺眼，同寒鼠冰熊里应外合，如今逮着这样的机会，他岂会轻易放过。
She clearly saw the trap but still fell into it foolishly.
“ jiě jiě ， wǒ gāi zěn me bàn ne ？”
“姐姐，我该怎么办呢？”
The little princess was extremely frustrated.
xiǎo gōng zhǔ shì liù shén wú zhǔ ， rú jīn tā shì tà rù le bié rén bù xià de xuán wō ， jìn lái róng yì ， xiǎng yào tuō shēn chū qù ， kě jiù bú shì nà me jiǎn dān qīng sōng de le 。
小公主是六神无主，如今她是踏入了别人布下的漩涡，进来容易，想要脱身出去，可就不是那么简单轻松的了。
On the other side, Lin Xuan’s expression showed some surprise.
míng míng kàn chū shì yí gè jú ， kě zì jǐ què piān piān shǎ hū hū de xiàn le jìn qù 。
明明看出是一个局，可自己却偏偏傻乎乎的陷了进去。
Princess Fragrance’s Heavenly Fox Pill was quite mysterious. Combined with Phoenix Dance Nine Heavens Art, although not perfect, the opponent wasn't a Golden Period powerhouse either; just an avatar of Xuan Ice Ancestor. It could see through it in one glance—had he underestimated her too much?
xiǎo gōng zhǔ yù mèn bù yǐ 。
小公主郁闷不已。
This Xuan Ice Ancestor turned out to be far more terrifying than expected.
ér lìng yī biān ， lín xuān liǎn shàng yě lù chū jǐ fēn chà yì zhī sè 。
而另一边，林轩脸上也露出几分诧异之色。
If possible, Lin Xuan really didn’t want to make enemies with him. But a man must have his principles; although he wasn't entirely clear on the details, using his intelligence and piecing together clues, he had some vague understanding of what was happening.
xiāng ér gěi zì jǐ de tiān yāo dān hái shì pǒ wèi xuán miào de ， pèi hé fèng wǔ jiǔ tiān jué ， suī bù gǎn shuō tiān yī wú fèng ， dàn duì fāng yě bú shì shén me dù jié qī de dà néng xiū xiān zhě ， bù guò shì xuán bīng lǎo zǔ de yī jù huà shēn bà le ， jū rán yī yǎn jiù néng kàn pò ， yǒu méi yǒu gǎo cuò ， kàn lái hái shì zì jǐ tài xiǎo kàn tā le 。
香儿给自己的天妖丹还是颇为玄妙的，配合凤舞九天诀，虽不敢说天衣无缝，但对方也不是什么渡劫期的大能修仙者，不过是玄冰老祖的一具化身罢了，居然一眼就能看破，有没有搞错，看来还是自己太小看牠了。
Although it couldn't be 100% accurate, it should still be close enough.
zhè shén me bīng lǎo yāo bǐ xiǎng xiàng de hái yào kě pà dé duō 。
这什么冰老妖比想象的还要可怕得多。
The Snow Fox clan now faced severe danger. The opponent had already come to their doorstep with an army. Although they hadn’t completely broken ties yet, being under siege could hardly be considered a misnomer.
rú guǒ kě yǐ ， lín xuān shí zài bù xiǎng yǔ tā wèi dí ， bù guò nán zi hàn dà zhàng fū ， shì yào yǒu dān dāng dì ， lín xuān suī rán bú shì hěn xiǎo de shì qíng de shǐ mò ， bù guò yǐ tā de cōng míng cái zhì ， zōng hé zì jǐ suǒ de dào de xiàn suǒ ， yǐn yǐn hái shì lǐ chū yī xiē tóu xù lái le 。
如果可以，林轩实在不想与他为敌，不过男子汉大丈夫，是要有担当地，林轩虽然不是很晓得事情的始末，不过以他的聪明才智，综合自己所得到的线索，隐隐还是理出一些头绪来了。
Originally, the Snow Fox clan still had some room for maneuvering, but his identity exposure pushed them into a dangerous situation.
suī rán bù gǎn shuō bǎi fēn zhī bǎi zhǔn què ， dàn yīng gāi hái shì ** bù lí shí de 。
虽然不敢说百分之百准确，但应该还是**不离十的。
Now, the Snow Fox clan was in extreme peril—having not stolen from the Holy Temple, yet unable to clear their name.
xuě hú zú rú jīn miàn lín de wēi jī ， nà shì bù yòng yán yù ， duì fāng dōu yǐ jīng xīng shī wèn zuì dào dà mén kǒu lái le ， suī rán hái méi yǒu wán quán sī pò liǎn pí ， dàn yòng dà bīng yā jìng lái xíng róng ， jī běn shàng ， yě shì méi yǒu tài dà miù wù dì 。
雪狐族如今面临的危机，那是不用言喻，对方都已经兴师问罪到大门口来了，虽然还没有完全撕破脸皮，但用大兵压境来形容，基本上，也是没有太大谬误地。
Of course, it wasn’t entirely his fault, but fate played a role. According to an old saying, one must undo what they have done. Although Lin Xuan didn't want to get involved in the妖族's affairs, he couldn't remain indifferent either. Even if he wanted to leave, the multi-armed bear’s hatred for him would make it impossible.
yuán běn ， xuě hú zú hái néng yǒu yì diǎn téng nuó zhǎn zhuǎn de yú dì ， rán ér zì jǐ shēn fèn de bào lù ， què yī xià zi jiāng tā men tuī dào fēng kǒu làng jiān shàng lái le 。
原本，雪狐族还能有一点腾挪辗转的余地，然而自己身份的暴露，却一下子将他们推到风口浪尖上来了。
Well, whether or not it was good fortune or misfortune, one had no choice but to face it.
rú jīn de xuě hú zú ， chǔ jìng wēi xiǎn dào jí chù ， míng míng méi yǒu tōu dào shèng diàn de bǎo wù ， kě piān piān què shì bǎi kǒu mò biàn de 。
如今的雪狐族，处境危险到极处，明明没有偷盗圣殿的宝物，可偏偏却是百口莫辩的。
Although Lin Xuan didn’t want trouble, that didn’t mean he was cowardly. In this situation, there was no other choice; he had to stand by the Snow Fox clan.
dāng rán ， zhè bù néng shuō shì zì jǐ de cuò ， dàn yīn cuò yáng chā ， yǔ zì jǐ què rán shì yǒu hěn dà guān xì lái zhe 。
当然，这不能说是自己的错，但阴错阳差，与自己确然是有很大关系来着。
With his mind made up, Lin Xuan’s gaze became firm in an instant.
sú huà shuō ， jiě líng hái xū xì líng rén ， lín xuān suī rán wú yì tāng yāo zú de hún shuǐ ， dàn zhè yàng de qíng kuàng xià ， zhì shēn shì wài ， sì hū yě yǒu xiē shuō bù guò ， hé kuàng jiù suàn xiǎng yào yī zǒu liǎo zhī ， nà duō bì xióng hèn zì jǐ rù gǔ ， shí yǒu ** yě shì bú huì yuàn yì de 。
俗话说，解铃还须系铃人，林轩虽然无意蹚妖族的浑水，但这样的情况下，置身事外，似乎也有些说不过，何况就算想要一走了之，那多臂熊恨自己入骨，十有**也是不会愿意的。
The process seemed complicated but was completed in a flash.
bà le ， shì fú bú shì huò ， shì huò duǒ bù guò 。
罢了，是福不是祸，是祸躲不过。
"Princess, what explanation do you plan to give?"
lín xuān suī rán bù xiǎng rě má fán ， dàn bìng bù yì wèi zhe ， tā jiù dǎn xiǎo pà shì le ， rú jīn zhè zhǒng qíng kuàng ， zì jǐ shì gēn běn méi dé xuǎn zé ， yuàn bù yuàn yì ， dōu zhǐ yǒu xiān zhàn zài xuě hú zú zhè biān le 。
林轩虽然不想惹麻烦，但并不意味着，他就胆小怕事了，如今这种情况，自己是根本没得选择，愿不愿意，都只有先站在雪狐族这边了。
The old monster's voice echoed again, using步步紧逼to describe its tone accurately.
nǎo hǎi zhōng niàn tou zhuǎn guò ， lín xuān yǐ jué dìng hǎo gāi zěn me zuò ， yuán běn yǒu xiē yóu lí bù dìng de yǎn shén ， yě zài yī shùn jiān ， biàn dé jiān dìng qǐ lái le 。
脑海中念头转过，林轩已决定好该怎么做，原本有些游离不定的眼神，也在一瞬间，变得坚定起来了。
"I, I…"
Chapter 2504:步步紧逼
With this, his figure naturally became visible. All the妖族 in the pavilion turned their heads towards him.
"You!"
The roar entered his ears, and the multi-armed bear's face was filled with anger. Enemies meeting each other made them see red.
However, the寒鼠王’s expression was much calmer. Although this old fellow’s strength was not to be underestimated, his cunning had reached a level where he could hide his emotions well.
"Big guy!"
The little princess couldn't help but let out a soft cry of concern as she saw him. The situation was urgent, and she had forgotten about Lin Xuan for the moment. Now that she saw his figure, her heart was filled with both worry and relief.
For a moment, all the creatures in the pavilion felt different emotions.
However, Lin Xuan wasn't too concerned. At this moment, most of his mind was focused on one person: Xuan Ice Ancestor!
Although what faced him now was not a true Golden Period monster but just an avatar that had escaped its original control, Lin Xuan still couldn't afford to be careless.

The old monster's cold voice echoed in his ears, but its words were shocking.
"What? This hateful human is a cultivator?" The multi-armed bear was both shocked and angry, looking even more hostile towards Lin Xuan.
Meanwhile, the寒鼠王’s expression changed. He first froze for a moment before showing an uncontrollable look of joy on his face.
Heaven doth make men sin but gives them life; man makes his own sins and cannot escape them!
Originally, they had planned to frame the Snow Fox clan for a long time, but in truth, they weren't entirely confident. They were somewhat anxious about it, especially with the evidence. In this world, there was no such thing as perfect proof, let alone fake ones. They feared being exposed, but now, Princess Fragrance's cleverness turned into foolishness.
