yǒu rén shuō ， yún yǐn zōng xiǎo mén xiǎo hù ， zì rán róng bù xià zhè wèi qiáng zhě ， tā yǐ lí kāi gāi pài ， lìng móu chū lù 。
有人说，云隐宗小门小户，自然容不下这位强者，他已离开该派，另谋出路。
Some said that the Cloud Conceal Sect was a small sect, naturally unable to accommodate such a powerful figure. He had left the sect and sought out new opportunities.
yě yǒu chuán yán shuō ， lín xuān dǎo shì méi yǒu lí kāi yún yǐn zōng ， rán ér xīn gāo qì ào ， dé zuì le mǒu wèi dù jié qī de dà néng ， yǐ shén hún jù miè diào le 。
也有传言说，林轩倒是没有离开云隐宗，然而心高气傲，得罪了某位渡劫期的大能，已神魂俱灭掉了。
Others claimed that Lin Xuan did not leave the Cloud Conceal Sect at all; instead, he had offended someone from the Transcendation Realm, leading to his soul's destruction.
lèi sì de chuán yán hái yǒu hěn duō ， dōu shì yīn wèi lín xuān jiǔ bù lòu miàn ， suǒ yǐ cái huì chǎn shēng gè zhǒng gè yàng de cāi jì chuǎi mó 。
类似的传言还有很多，都是因为林轩久不露面，所以才会产生各种各样的猜忌揣摩。
Similar rumors abounded because of Lin Xuan’s prolonged absence. Of course, some said that he was a hardworking cultivator who was sealed in a life-and-death trial, but such believers were few and far between.
dāng rán ， yě yǒu rén shuō lín xuān shì kǔ xiū zhě ， yì zhí zài bì shēng sǐ guān de ， rán ér piān piān ， xiāng xìn zhè tiáo de xiū shì nà shì liáo liáo kě shǔ 。
当然，也有人说林轩是苦修者，一直在闭生死关的，然而偏偏，相信这条的修士那是寥寥可数。
This was also related to the expansion of the Cloud Conceal Sect over several hundred years, which had grown significantly due to its reputation from Lin Xuan’s victory at Star Moon City. However, he himself never appeared again after that, leading to various problems over time.
dāng rán ， zhè yě yǔ yún yǐn zōng de kuò zhǎn yǒu guān ， shù bǎi nián lái ， huò dé le mò dà de fā zhǎn ， rán ér suǒ píng zhàng de ， jǐn jǐn shì lín xuān xīng yuè chéng yī yì ， suǒ chuǎng chū de míng qì ， tā běn rén ， què zài yě bù céng lòu miàn guò ， jiǔ ér jiǔ zhī ， zì rán yào chū wèn tí 。
当然，这也与云隐宗的扩展有关，数百年来，获得了莫大的发展，然而所凭仗的，仅仅是林轩星月城一役，所闯出的名气，他本人，却再也不曾露面过，久而久之，自然要出问题。
The Twin Fates of Heaven and Earth knew all about these rumors. Seeing Lin Yujiao's respectful actions, their hearts couldn't help but tense up.
zhè xiē chuán yán ， tiān yuán shuāng mó dōu shì yì qīng èr chǔ ， cǐ kè jiàn lín yù jiāo gōng gōng jìng jìng de dòng zuò ， xīn zhōng dōu bù yóu de “ gē dēng ” yī xià le 。
这些传言，天缘双魔都是一清二楚，此刻见林玉娇恭恭敬敬的动作，心中都不由得“咯噔”一下了。
However, they did not immediately retreat. After all, Lin Xuan’s fame was from hundreds of years ago; he had never appeared since then. As time passed, deterring lesser individuals became increasingly difficult. Moreover, it wasn’t clear if the person before them was indeed Lin Xuan. If it were a trick by this young woman, they would be in trouble.
rán ér tā men què méi yǒu mǎ shàng tuì qù ， bì jìng lín xuān míng qì zài dà ， yě shì jǐ bǎi nián qián de shì ， cóng cǐ yǐ hòu ， què zài yě bù lòu miàn ， suí zhe shí jiān de tuī yí ， zhèn shè xiāo xiǎo zhī bèi yě jiù yuè lái yuè yǒu nán dù ， hé kuàng yǎn qián zhī rén shì bú shì lín xuān hái yǒu liǎng shuō ， wàn yī shì zhè xìng lín de xiǎo nī zi zài nà lǐ chàng kōng chéng jì 。
然而他们却没有马上退去，毕竟林轩名气再大，也是几百年前的事，从此以后，却再也不露面，随着时间的推移，震慑宵小之辈也就越来越有难度，何况眼前之人是不是林轩还有两说，万一是这姓林的小妮子在那里唱空城计。
They needed to verify first. The Twin Fates of Heaven and Earth, with their notorious reputations, wouldn't easily back down.
shì zhēn shì jiǎ ， nà yě yào xiān què dìng yī xià ， tiān yuán shuāng mó è míng yuǎn bō ， zì rán bú shì qīng yì jiù néng bèi xià tuì de 。
是真是假，那也要先确定一下，天缘双魔恶名远播，自然不是轻易就能被吓退的。
The large-robed man and the seductive woman simultaneously released their divine senses, sweeping over Lin Xuan with incredible speed.
nà huáng páo dà hàn yǔ yāo yě nǚ zǐ bù yuē ér tóng de jiāng shén shí fàng chū 。
那黄袍大汉与妖冶女子不约而同的将神识放出。
However, upon this sweep, both their faces changed dramatically.
xùn sù yì cháng de lín xuān shēn shàng sǎo guò 。
迅速异常的林轩身上扫过。
A Focus-Breaker cultivator!
rán ér zhè yī sǎo ， liǎng rén jiù bù yuē ér tóng de liǎn sè dà biàn le 。
然而这一扫，两人就不约而同的脸色大变了。
Whether or not this guy was Lin Xuan wasn’t the issue; his Focus-Breaker cultivation stage was undeniable. They couldn't possibly handle such a powerful being.
zhēn shì fēn shén qī xiū xiān zhě ！
真是分神期修仙者！
No wonder he easily broke through the Blood Demon Rope.
yǎn qián zhè jiā huo shì bú shì lín xuān zàn qiě bù shuō ， dàn fēn shén qī de xiū wèi què shì rú jiǎ bāo huàn de ， jué bú shì zì jǐ liǎng rén néng gòu duì fù 。
眼前这家伙是不是林轩暂且不说，但分神期的修为却是如假包换的，绝不是自己两人能够对付。
For the Twin Fates of Heaven and Earth, this was the worst possible outcome. Although they were renowned among Transcendation Realm cultivators, it didn’t mean that two of them could resist a Focus-Breaker powerhouse. Each level of cultivation brought a significant leap in strength; challenging someone from a higher realm was like an ordinary person trying to climb a steep mountain.
guài bù dé tā qīng sōng yì cháng jiù néng jiāng xuè mó suǒ pò chú 。
怪不得他轻松异常就能将血魔索破除。
Despite their high self-esteem, they had no confidence and were unwilling to risk staying here any longer.
duì yú tiān yuán shuāng mó ， zhè wú yí shì zuì huài de jié guǒ ， tā men zài dòng xuán qī xiū shì zhōng ， suī shēng míng yuǎn bō ， dàn jué bù yì wèi zhe liǎng rén lián shǒu ， jiù néng duì kàng fēn shén jí bié de dà néng le 。 měi yí gè jìng jiè de tí shēng ， dài lái de dōu shì shí lì de fēi yuè ， yuè jí tiǎo zhàn de nán dù ， jiù yǔ fán rén yào tú shǒu fān guò yī zuò dǒu qiào de dà shān chà bu duō 。
对于天缘双魔，这无疑是最坏的结果，他们在洞玄期修士中，虽声名远播，但绝不意味着两人联手，就能对抗分神级别的大能了。每一个境界的提升，带来的都是实力的飞跃，越级挑战的难度，就与凡人要徒手翻过一座陡峭的大山差不多。
Leaving now was the best choice.
liǎng rén suī zì shì shèn gāo ， yě méi yǒu bǎ wò ， gèng bù yuàn yì ， liú zài zhè lǐ zuò wú duān de mào xiǎn le 。
两人虽自视甚高，也没有把握，更不愿意，留在这里做无端的冒险了。
As for the task given by Uncle Senior, it would have to wait for now.
rú jīn lí kāi shì zuì jiā xuǎn zé 。
如今离开是最佳选择。
After all, their lives were more important than丰厚 rewards.
zhì yú shī shū fā bù de rèn wù ， yě zhǐ hǎo zàn shí fàng dào yī biān le 。
至于师叔发布的任务，也只好暂时放到一边了。
The logic behind this was clear. The two of them transformed into two streaks of lightning and flew away quickly.
bì jìng yǔ fēng hòu de jiǎng shǎng xiāng bǐ ， dào dǐ hái shì zì jǐ de xiǎo mìng gèng jiā zhòng yào yī xiē 。
毕竟与丰厚的奖赏相比，到底还是自己的小命更加重要一些。
Seeing that they couldn't match, choosing to escape immediately showed great decisiveness.
zhè zhōng jiān de dào lǐ ， liǎng rén yì qīng èr chǔ ， bù yuē ér tóng de huà wèi liǎng dào jīng hóng ， fēng chí diàn chè de fēi xiàng le yuǎn chù 。
这中间的道理，两人一清二楚，不约而同的化为两道惊虹，风驰电掣的飞向了远处。
Unfortunately, they had provoked Lin Xuan. All their efforts would be in vain.
yī jiàn bù dí ， lì kè xuǎn zé yuǎn dùn táo tuō ， zhè fèn guǒ jué ， nà yě shì xiāng dāng de liǎo de 。
一见不敌，立刻选择远遁逃脱，这份果决，那也是相当的了得。
"Far guests, why do you leave so abruptly?"
kě xī tā men rě dào shì lín xuān ， suǒ yǒu de nǔ lì ， yě jiù zhù dìng shì tú láo de le 。
可惜他们惹到是林轩，所有的努力，也就注定是徒劳的了。
Lin Xuan’s calm voice entered their ears: "Since you've come, stay and enjoy the hospitality of this place."
“ yuǎn lái shì kè ， liǎng wèi zěn me shuō zǒu jiù zǒu ne ？”
“远来是客，两位怎么说走就走呢？”
Before he finished speaking, his right hand rose slightly, fingers spreading apart. No other movements were visible, yet the Twin Fates of Heaven and Earth's escape light suddenly stopped.
lín xuān dàn rán de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ：“ jì rán lái le ， nà jiù liú xià lái zuò kè ， ràng lín mǒu shāo jǐn yī xià dì zhǔ zhī yì 。”
林轩淡然的声音传入耳朵：“既然来了，那就留下来做客，让林某稍尽一下地主之谊。”
In the glow, both the large-robed man and the seductive woman showed obvious signs of fear on their faces. They didn't want to stop; it was the air around them that had suddenly turned into shackles, rendering them immobile.
huà yīn wèi luò ， lín xuān yòu shǒu tái qǐ ， wǔ zhǐ wēi qǐ ， chú cǐ yǐ wài ， bú jiàn rèn hé duō yú de dòng zuò ， rán ér tiān yuán shuāng mó de dùn guāng ， jū rán zhòu rán jiān tíng xià lái le 。
话音未落，林轩右手抬起，五指微启，除此以外，不见任何多余的动作，然而天缘双魔的遁光，居然骤然间停下来了。
The cause of this was merely his slight movement.
guāng yùn zhōng ， bù lùn huáng páo dà hàn ， hái shì nà yāo yě nǚ zǐ ， liǎn kǒng shàng ， dōu míng xiǎn lù chū yī fù jīng kǒng zhī sè ， bú shì tā liǎ xiǎng yào tíng xià lái ， ér shì sì zhōu de kōng qì ， zhòu rán jiāng biàn chéng le jiā suǒ ， ràng tā men liǎng rén dòng tán bù dé 。
光晕中，不论黄袍大汉，还是那妖冶女子，脸孔上，都明显露出一副惊恐之色，不是他俩想要停下来，而是四周的空气，骤然将变成了枷锁，让他们两人动弹不得。
Impossible. Even as a couple at the Transcendation Realm, they shouldn’t be so far behind a Focus-Breaker powerhouse.
ér zào chéng zhè yī qiè de yuán yóu ， bù guò shì duì fāng shāo wēi tái le tái shǒu 。
而造成这一切的缘由，不过是对方稍微抬了抬手。
Too outrageous!
bù kě néng ， hǎo dǎi zì jǐ fū qī ， yě shì dòng xuán jí bié de qiáng zhě ， duì fāng jiù suàn shì fēn shén jí bié de dà néng ， bǐ cǐ jiān de chā jù ， yě bù kě néng kuò dà dào zhè děng dì bù 。
不可能，好歹自己夫妻，也是洞玄级别的强者，对方就算是分神级别的大能，彼此间的差距，也不可能扩大到这等地步。
They hadn't seen such terrifying power from their seniors within the sect; how could they feel it now?
tài lí pǔ ！
太离谱！
Could this ordinary young man really be Lin Xuan? And his strength was even greater than what was rumored?
zōng mén nèi de shī shū shī bó ， zì jǐ liǎng rén yòu bú shì méi yǒu jiàn guò ， nǎ néng gǎn shòu dào rú cǐ kě pà de ？
宗门内的师叔师伯，自己两人又不是没有见过，哪能感受到如此可怕的？
Only shock remained. Perhaps, if facing such a powerful being, they should have begged for mercy first.
nán dào zhè píng fán de xiǎo jiā huo zhēn shì lín xuān ？
难道这平凡的小家伙真是林轩？
Unfortunately, all regrets were too late.
ér qiě qí qiáng dà chéng dù ， yuǎn yuǎn shèng guò le chuán yán ？
而且其强大程度，远远胜过了传言？
Even begging wouldn't help. Although Lin Xuan wasn’t cruel or bloodthirsty, he never showed any leniency to his enemies.
chú le jīng è hái shì jīng è ， yě xǔ miàn duì rú cǐ jí bié de qiáng zhě ， zì jǐ dì yī shí jiān ， gēn běn jiù bù yīng gāi pǎo de ， qiú ráo cái shì zuì jiā xuǎn zé 。
除了惊愕还是惊愕，也许面对如此级别的强者，自己第一时间，根本就不应该跑的，求饶才是最佳选择。
No provocation, no retaliation; but if provoked, the consequences would be unbearable.
kě xī cǐ shí cǐ kè ， yī qiè hòu huǐ dōu jǐ jīng wǎn le 。
可惜此时此刻，一切后悔都己经晚了。
Lin Xuan frowned, his eyes flashing with a sharp light as he clenched his fingers. With this tiny movement, two overlapping explosions echoed in their ears. The Twin Fates of Heaven and Earth, known for their notorious reputations, were so weak before Lin Xuan that they couldn’t even resist. They turned into blood mist instantly, not just their bodies but also their soul gems.
hé kuàng jiù suàn shì qiú ráo yě bú huì yǒu cè chù ， lín xuān suī rán bú shì cán rěn shì shā de rén wù ， dàn duì yú dí rén ， yě cóng lái méi yǒu xīn cí shǒu ruǎn yī shuō 。
何况就算是求饶也不会有册处，林轩虽然不是残忍嗜杀的人物，但对于敌人，也从来没有心慈手软一说。
"Such..."
rén bù fàn wǒ ， wǒ bù fàn rén ， rén ruò fàn wǒ ， hēi hēi ， fù chū de dài jià yě jiāng shì tā nán yǐ chéng shòu 。
人不犯我，我不犯人，人若犯我，嘿嘿，付出的代价也将是他难以承受。
Lin Yujiao was stunned, almost unable to believe what she saw. Even though Lin Xuan was strong, his battle with the Sword Sovereign of Starry Heaven had left a lasting impression on her. However, compared to this guy who could kill enemies with just a gesture, that battle seemed insignificant.
lín xuān méi tou yí zhòu ， yǎn zhōng jīng máng yì qǐ ， wǔ zhǐ jǐn wò ， suí zhe zhè me wēi xiǎo de dòng zuò ，“ pēng 。” liǎng shēng chóng dié de bào zhà chuán rù ěr duǒ ， kě lián è míng yuǎn bō de tiān yuán shuāng mó ， zài lín xuān miàn qián jiù ruò xiǎo dé yǔ lóu yǐ chà bu duō ， sī háo fǎn kàng zhī lì yě wú ， yī xià zi jiù huà wèi le xuè wù ， bù jǐn shì ròu shēn yǔn luò ， lián yuán yīng dōu méi yǒu jī huì táo chū 。
林轩眉头一皱，眼中精芒一起，五指紧握，随着这么微小的动作，“嘭。”两声重叠的爆炸传入耳朵，可怜恶名远播的天缘双魔，在林轩面前就弱小得与蝼蚁差不多，丝毫反抗之力也无，一下子就化为了血雾，不仅是肉身陨落，连元婴都没有机会逃出。
When did Uncle Senior become so powerful?
“ zhè ……”
“这……”
Even if he had already advanced to the Focus-Breaker realm, it was still too exaggerated.
lín yù jiāo kàn dé mù dèng kǒu dāi ， jī hū nán yǐ xiāng xìn zì jǐ de yǎn 。 tā zì jǐ lín xuān hěn qiáng ， yǔ tiān xuán jiàn zūn de yī zhàn ， jiù céng gěi cǐ nǚ liú xià nán yǐ mó miè de yìn xiàng ， rán ér nà yī zhàn suī rán dǎ dé dàng qì huí cháng ， kě yǔ yǎn qián zhè jǔ shǒu tóu zú ， jiù miè shā qiáng dí de shǒu duàn xiāng bǐ ， zé gēn běn bù suàn shén me 。
林玉娇看得目瞪口呆，几乎难以相信自己的眼。她自己林轩很强，与天璇剑尊的一战，就曾给此女留下难以磨灭的印象，然而那一战虽然打得荡气回肠，可与眼前这举手投足，就灭杀强敌的手段相比，则根本不算什么。
At least his sister couldn't possibly reach this level.
lín shī shū shén me shí hòu qiáng dà dào rú cǐ dì bù ？
林师叔什么时候强大到如此地步？
Although she didn’t dare to speculate about the power of a Focus-Breaker, she was certain about one thing.
jiù suàn tā wèi yǐ jīng jìn jí ， dá dào le fēn shén qī ， zhè yě tài kuā zhāng le yī xiē 。
就算他为已经晋级，达到了分神期，这也太夸张了一些。
However, Lin Yujiao wasn't surprised for long. She had seen big events before and quickly recovered her composure. The shock on her face faded into excitement. Knowing that the Cloud Conceal Sect faced significant dangers, she had barely managed to escape with the help of several fellow disciples.
zhì shǎo zì jǐ jiě jiě ， shì wú lùn rú hé ， yě zuò bú dào zhè yī bù 。
至少自己姐姐，是无论如何，也做不到这一步。
Uncle Senior was their last hope; the stronger he was, the better for the sect. Perhaps, he could once again turn things around and save the Cloud Conceal Sect from this crisis.
suī rán fēn shén jí bié gāo shǒu de qiáng dà ， lín yù jiāo bù gǎn qīng yì chuǎi mó ， dàn zhè yì diǎn ， tā shì bǎi fēn zhī bǎi kě yǐ kěn dìng de 。
虽然分神级别高手的强大，林玉娇不敢轻易揣摩，但这一点，她是百分之百可以肯定的。
With these thoughts, Lin Yujiao bowed down like a young man, her face showing intense enthusiasm: "Uncle Senior, your power is unparalleled in the world."
bù guò cǐ nǚ yě méi yǒu jīng yà tài jiǔ ， tā jìng yě shì jiàn shí guò dà chǎng miàn de rén wù ， hěn kuài jiù huí guò shén lái le ， liǎn shàng de jīng róng xiāo shī ， qǔ ér dài zhī de shì kuáng xǐ ， yào zhī dào ， yún yǐn zōng rú jīn miàn lín zhe jù dà de wēi jī ， tā shì zài jǐ wèi shī xiōng dì de yǎn hù xià ， cái pīn sǐ tū wéi dào zhè lǐ 。
不过此女也没有惊讶太久，她竟也是见识过大场面的人物，很快就回过神来了，脸上的惊容消失，取而代之的是狂喜，要知道，云隐宗如今面临着巨大的危机，她是在几位师兄弟的掩护下，才拼死突围到这里。
It wasn’t flattery; she truly hoped so.
lín shī shū yǐ shì zōng mén zuì hòu de xī wàng le ， tā dāng rán shì yuè qiáng dà ， duì zōng mén yuè yǒu hǎo chù ， shuō bù dìng ， zhēn néng zài cì lì wǎn kuáng lán ， ràng yún yǐn zōng dù guò zhè cì wēi jī 。
林师叔已是宗门最后的希望了，他当然是越强大，对宗门越有好处，说不定，真能再次力挽狂澜，让云隐宗度过这次危机。
"Yujiao, what happened?"
xiǎng dào zhè lǐ ， lín yù jiāo xiàng qián miàn de shào nián bài le xià qù ， liǎn shàng dài zhe jǐ fēn kuáng rè zhī yì ：“ lín shī shū shén tōng gài shì ， tiān xià wèi dí 。”
想到这里，林玉娇像前面的少年拜了下去，脸上带着几分狂热之意：“林师叔神通盖世，天下为敌。”
Lin Xuan's brows furrowed slightly. Having traversed countless trials on his path to immortality, his eyesight was naturally sharp.
zhè bú shì mǎ pì ， ér shì tā zhēn de xī wàng rú cǐ 。
这不是马屁，而是她真的希望如此。
Cloud Conceal Sect disciples wouldn't easily disturb him for trivial matters.
“ yù jiāo ， jiū jìng fā shēng le shén me shì ？”
“玉娇，究竟发生了什么事？”
Why would Lin Yujiao escape in such a state? Everything pointed to the sect facing an unprecedented crisis.
lín xuān de méi tóu què shì wēi wēi zhòu qǐ ， tā zì cóng tà rù xiān tú ， jīng lì xīng fēng xuè yǔ wú shù ， zhè yǎn lì ， zì rán shì yī děng yī yī 。
林轩的眉头却是微微皱起，他自从踏入仙途，经历腥风血雨无数，这眼力，自然是一等一一。
Lin Xuan couldn’t ignore this.
yún yǐn zōng dì zǐ ， rú wú yào shì ， bú huì qīng yì dǎ rǎo zì jǐ 。
云隐宗弟子，如无要事，不会轻易打扰自己。
After all, the Cloud Conceal Sect had treated him well. As his Supreme Elder, he wasn’t just a figurehead.
lín yù jiāo wèi hé huì láng bèi yì cháng de táo dào dì ， zhè yī qiè de yī qiè ， dōu yù shì zhe yún yǐn zōng yù dào le fēi tóng xiǎo kě de má fán 。
林玉娇为何会狼狈异常的逃到地，这一切的一切，都预示着云隐宗遇到了非同小可的麻烦。
"Yujiao, don't rush. What happened?" Lin Xuan sighed.
lín xuān zì rán bù kě néng bù guǎn 。
林轩自然不可能不管。
However, the next sentence from her left Lin Xuan, who was usually calm, in shock.
bì jìng yún yǐn zōng dài zì jǐ bù báo ， tā zhè wèi tài shàng zhǎng lǎo ， yě bù jǐn jǐn shì guà míng ér yǐ 。
毕竟云隐宗待自己不薄，他这位太上长老，也不仅仅是挂名而已。
"Aunt Senior, saving lives is urgent. The main headquarters of the Cloud Conceal Sect has been breached by the enemy."
Some said that the Cloud Conceal Sect was a small sect, naturally unable to accommodate such a powerful figure. He had left the sect and sought out new opportunities.
Others claimed that Lin Xuan did not leave the Cloud Conceal Sect at all; instead, he had offended someone from the Transcendation Realm, leading to his soul's destruction.
Similar rumors abounded because of Lin Xuan’s prolonged absence. Of course, some said that he was a hardworking cultivator who was sealed in a life-and-death trial, but such believers were few and far between.
This was also related to the expansion of the Cloud Conceal Sect over several hundred years, which had grown significantly due to its reputation from Lin Xuan’s victory at Star Moon City. However, he himself never appeared again after that, leading to various problems over time.
The Twin Fates of Heaven and Earth knew all about these rumors. Seeing Lin Yujiao's respectful actions, their hearts couldn't help but tense up.
