sān pài lián míng de zhǎng lǎo rú jīn shì méi dé xuǎn zé ， ér lìng yī biān ， lín xuān de dòng zuò què qiǎo rán gǎi biàn le 。
三派联明的长老如今是没得选择，而另一边，林轩的动作却悄然改变了。
Now, the elders of the Three Factions Alliance had no choice but to proceed. On the other side, Lin Xuan's actions subtly changed.
suī rán tā yōng yǒu tí chún hòu de wàn nián líng rǔ ， néng gòu shùn jiān jiāng sǔn hào le de fǎ lì bǔ chōng ， rán ér zhè zhǒng fāng fǎ bì jìng bú shì zhèng tú 。
虽然他拥有提纯后的万年灵乳，能够瞬间将损耗了的法力补充，然而这种方法毕竟不是正途。
Although he possessed purified Ten Thousand Year Spirit Milk, which could instantly replenish his expended magical power, this method was not the proper path.
wàn nián líng rǔ fú yòng tài duō ， yě huì chǎn shēng yī xiē bù lì xiào guǒ 。
万年灵乳服用太多，也会产生一些不利效果。
Consuming too much Ten Thousand Year Spirit Milk would also have some adverse effects.
rú guǒ zhēn yù jiàn qiáng dí ， bù dé yǐ zhè me zuò ， nà shì wú kě hòu fēi ， rán ér cǐ shí cǐ kè ， lín xuān míng míng hái yǒu bié de xuǎn zé 。
如果真遇见强敌，不得已这么做，那是无可厚非，然而此时此刻，林轩明明还有别的选择。
If truly encountering a formidable enemy and having no choice but to do so, it would be understandable. However, at this moment, Lin Xuan clearly had other options available.
jǐn guǎn tiān fèng shén mù ， yě méi néng zhǎo dào zhèn yǎn zài hé chù ， dàn bìng bù yì wèi zhe ， jiù zhēn de méi yǒu bàn fǎ jiāng cǐ zhèn pò chú 。
尽管天凤神目，也没能找到阵眼在何处，但并不意味着，就真的没有办法将此阵破除。
Although the Heavenly Phoenix Divine Eye failed to find where the array's center was located, that did not mean there were no ways to break the array.
zhǐ xū yào dòng yòng nà bàn bǎo bèi jí kě 。
只需要动用那伴宝贝即可。
He just needed to use a companion treasure.
rán ér cǐ bǎo shì yí cì xìng de xiāo hào zhī wù ， zì jǐ yōng yǒu de shù liàng yě bù duō ， ruò fēi bù dé yǐ ， tā yě bù xī wàng dòng yòng cǐ wù 。
然而此宝是一次性的消耗之物，自己拥有的数量也不多，若非不得以，他也不希望动用此物。
However, this treasure was a one-time-use consumable item, and he didn't have many of them. He wouldn't wish to use it unless absolutely necessary.
yǒu diǎn bù shě ！
有点不舍！
A bit reluctant!
rán ér gǔ yǔ shuō ， liǎng quán xiāng hài qǔ qí qīng ， yǐ lín xuān de chéng fǔ ， zài zhè zhǒng shí kè ， zì rán néng gòu zuò chū zhèng què xuǎn zé 。
然而古语说，两权相害取其轻，以林轩的城府，在这种时刻，自然能够做出正确选择。
But as an old saying goes, when faced with two harmful choices, choose the lesser evil. With Lin Xuan's deep-seated wisdom, he naturally made the correct choice at this moment.
tā de yǎn zhōng shǎn guò yī mǒ jué jué zhī sè 。
他的眼中闪过一抹决绝之色。
A determined look flashed across his eyes.
yī biān jì xù cāo zòng jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn duì fù zhe yuǎn chù de yīn hún guǐ wù ， yī biān shēn chū shǒu lái ， zài yāo jiān yī pāi ， líng guāng yī shǎn ， yí gè yù hé fú xiàn yú yǎn qián 。
一边继续操纵九宫须臾剑对付着远处的阴魂鬼物，一边伸出手来，在腰间一拍，灵光一闪，一个玉盒浮现于眼前。
He continued manipulating the Nine Palaces Momentary Sword to deal with the distant ghostly entities while reaching out and tapping his waist. A flash of spiritual light appeared before him—a jade box no more than a few inches in length and width, without any prohibitive talismans affixed to it because this jade box itself contained similar effects.
zhǎng kuān dōu bù guò shù cùn ér yǐ ， biǎo miàn bìng méi yǒu tiē jìn zhì fú lù ， nà shì yīn wèi cǐ yù hé běn shēn ， jiù yùn hán yǒu tóng yàng de xiào guǒ 。
长宽都不过数寸而已，表面并没有贴禁制符箓，那是因为此玉盒本身，就蕴含有同样的效果。
Lin Xuan's movements were extremely swift. With a flick of his fingers, "Pak," several round beads the size of dragon eyes entered his field of vision.
lín xuān de dòng zuò jí wéi xùn sù ， qū zhǐ yī dàn ,“ pā ” de yī shēng chuán rù ěr biān ， jǐ lì lóng yǎn dà xiǎo de yuán zhū jìn rù yǎn lián 。
林轩的动作极为迅速，屈指一弹,“啪”的一声传入耳边，几粒龙眼大小的圆珠进入眼帘。
Though unremarkable on the surface, Lin Xuan's gaze was filled with fervor. These treasures had been obtained from Snowflake Saint Ancestor. Back then, it allowed him to return from the Demon Realm ahead of schedule. Breakthrough Boundary Pearl!
biǎo miàn shàng kàn ， bìng bù qǐ yǎn ， rán ér lín xuān yǎn shén ， què yǒu xiē huǒ rè ， zhè bǎo wù shì cóng xuě huā shèng zǔ nà lǐ suǒ de 。
表面上看，并不起眼，然而林轩眼神，却有些火热，这宝物是从雪花圣祖那里所得。
This tiny bead contained spatial laws, and they were highly advanced ones.
dāng chū zì jǐ néng gòu tí qián cóng mó jiè fǎn huí kào de jiù shì cǐ wù 。 pò jiè zhū ！
当初自己能够提前从魔界返回靠的就是此物。破界珠！
Lin Xuan didn't know what kind of array was set up in the valley, but it clearly possessed formidable abilities that trapped him there.
zhè xiǎo xiǎo yī lì zhū zi lǐ miàn què yùn hán dé yǒu kòng jiān fǎ zé ， ér qiě hái shì fēi cháng gāo jí de nà zhǒng 。
这小小一粒珠子里面却蕴含得有空间法则，而且还是非常高级的那种。
The array was strong; using brute force alone, he couldn't tear it apart. However, this Breakthrough Boundary Pearl was different. The spiritual realm and ancient Demon Realm were parallel interfaces, and their interface powers could overwhelm even ordinary Golden Transformation cultivators. This pearl's power easily overcame them, demonstrating its overwhelming might.
yǎn qián bù zài shān gǔ zhōng de zhèn fǎ shì shén me lín xuān bù xiǎo de ， dàn xiǎn rán shì jù yǒu qí miào de wēi néng ， suǒ yǐ cái néng gòu jiāng zì jǐ kùn zhù 。
眼前布在山谷中的阵法是什么林轩不晓得，但显然是具有奇妙的威能，所以才能够将自己困住。
Using the Breakthrough Boundary Pearl to break the array would be a case of using a sledgehammer to crack a nut!
cǐ zhèn hěn qiáng ， lín xuān yòng mán lì yě nán yǐ jiāng tā sī pò ， rán ér shǒu zhōng zhè lì pò jiè zhū jiù bù yí yàng le ， líng jiè yǔ gǔ mó jiè zuò wéi píng xíng jiè miàn ， bǐ cǐ suǒ yōng yǒu de jiè miàn zhī lì ， lián yì bān de dù jié qī dà néng dōu wú kě nài hé cǐ zhū què néng jiāng qí kè fú ， cóng zhè yì diǎn ， jiù kě yǐ kàn chū qí yōng yǒu zěn yàng bà dào de wēi néng le 。
此阵很强，林轩用蛮力也难以将它撕破，然而手中这粒破界珠就不一样了，灵界与古魔界作为平行界面，彼此所拥有的界面之力，连一般的渡劫期大能都无可奈何此珠却能将其克服，从这一点，就可以看出其拥有怎样霸道的威能了。
This was why Lin Xuan felt reluctant to use it. Unfortunately, he had no other choice at this moment.
yòng qí pò zhèn ， shuō jù bú kè qì de huà ， gēn běn jiù shì dà cái xiǎo yòng a ！
用其破阵，说句不客气的话，根本就是大材小用啊！
He could only bear the pain and part with it.
zhè yě jiù nán guài lín xuān bù shě ， kě xī tā rú jīn shí zài shì méi yǒu bié de xuǎn zé 。
这也就难怪林轩不舍，可惜他如今实在是没有别的选择。
Thoughts raced through Lin Xuan's mind as his actions remained swift.
zhǐ néng rěn tòng gē ài le 。
只能忍痛割爱了。
To break just one array, the Breakthrough Boundary Pearl didn't require any additional assistance. He directly waved his sleeves and cast out a bead from within.
lín xuān nǎo hǎi zhōng niàn tou jí zhuǎn ， shǒu shàng de dòng zuò què yì diǎn bù màn 。
林轩脑海中念头急转，手上的动作却一点不慢。
Boom!
jǐn jǐn pò chú yí gè zhèn fǎ ， pò jiè zhū gēn běn yòng bù zhe shén me qí tā de dōng xī fǔ zhù ， lín xuān zhí jiē xiù páo yī fú ， jiāng qí zhōng de yī lì jì chū 。
仅仅破除一个阵法，破界珠根本用不着什么其他的东西辅助，林轩直接袖袍一拂，将其中的一粒祭出。
A loud explosion sounded like an extra sun suddenly appeared in the sky. The light was incredibly bright, radiating dazzling rays of light. Following that, the entire space seemed to be covered by a thin layer of ice and snow, which rapidly melted under the intense sunlight.
hōng ！
轰！
Indeed, it was melting.
yī shēng jù xiǎng tiān kōng zhōng fǎng fú shùn jiān duō chū lái yí gè tài yáng 。
一声巨响天空中仿佛瞬间多出来一个太阳。
Unlike the previous breakage, this time's melting could not be reversed because even the array-setting tools had been affected. Under the Breakthrough Boundary Pearl's formidable power, they turned into useless scraps.
wú bǐ de míng liàng ， fàng shè chū yào yǎn de guāng máng ， suí hòu zhěng gè kōng jiān ， fǎng fú yī céng báo báo de bīng xuě ， zài tài yáng de zhì kǎo xià ， xùn sù róng huà 。
无比的明亮，放射出耀眼的光芒，随后整个空间，仿佛一层薄薄的冰雪，在太阳的炙烤下，迅速融化。
As a result, the array naturally broke down, and the valley returned to its lush greenery.
méi cuò ， jiù shì róng huà 。
没错，就是融化。
Lin Xuan raised his head, and more than twenty figures entered his vision.
yǔ shàng cì de dǎ pò bù tóng ， zhè yī cì de róng huà shì bù kě nì zhuǎn de ， yīn wèi lián bù zhèn qì jù dōu yǐ jīng bèi yāng jí ， zài pò jiè zhū qiáng hèng de wēi néng xià huà wèi le yī duī fèi wù 。
与上次的打破不同，这一次的融化是不可逆转的，因为连布阵器具都已经被殃及，在破界珠强横的威能下化为了一堆废物。
They varied in height and build but were all at the Spirit Transformation stage. The closest one was only about a hundred zhang away, while the farthest was around a thousand zhang.
rú cǐ yī lái zhèn fǎ zì rán pò chú shān gǔ chóng xīn huī fù le yù yù cōng cōng zhī sè 。
如此一来阵法自然破除山谷重新恢复了郁郁葱葱之色。
For cultivators of their level, such differences were negligible.
lín xuān tái qǐ tóu lú èr shí yú gè shēn yǐng yìng rù le yǎn lián zhōng 。
林轩抬起头颅二十余个身影映入了眼帘中。
Seeing Lin Xuan break through the array, the faces of those Spirit Transformation experts turned to an indescribable state of shock and anger. Despite still being in superior numbers, their confidence had been completely shattered by Lin Xuan.
pàng shòu gāo ǎi gè bù xiāng tóng ， dàn xiū wèi dōu shì fēn shén qī de 。
胖瘦高矮各不相同，但修为都是分神期的。
Just moments ago, they had witnessed how easily several companions were killed by Lin Xuan. How could they, with similar strength, fare against him?
qí zhōng jù lí zì jǐ zuì jìn de bù guò bǎi yú zhàng ér yǐ ， yuǎn de yě bù guò qiān yú zhàng de jù lí 。
其中距离自己最近的不过百余丈而已，远的也不过千余丈的距离。
"Whoosh!" A piercing sound entered his ears as a robed old man dressed in black robes chose to escape when the situation became dire.
zhè zhōng jiān de chā bié ， duì yú tā men zhè zhǒng jìng jiè de xiū xiān zhě ér yán ， bù zhí yī tí 。
这中间的差别，对于他们这种境界的修仙者而言，不值一提。
This individual's遁光 (flying light) was swift; he quickly flew towards the horizon.
jiàn lín xuān pò zhèn ér chū ， nà xiē fēn shén qī lǎo guài wù de liǎn sè wú bù nán kàn dào wú yǐ fù jiā de dì bù 。
见林轩破阵而出，那些分神期老怪物的脸色无不难看到无以复加的地步。
The other old monsters had already been hesitant. Seeing someone lead the way, they immediately fled in all directions, even the Supreme Daoist of Tai Xuan Sect turned into a streak of flying light heading far away.
jǐn guǎn cǐ shí cǐ kè ， tā men yī jiù rén duō shì zhòng rán ér xìn xīn ， zǎo yǐ bèi lín xuān wán quán cuī huǐ dé yì diǎn dōu bù shèng le 。 jiù zài bù jiǔ qián ， zhè xiē jiā huo kě shì qīn yǎn mù dǔ ， jǐ míng tóng bàn shì rú hé bèi lín xuān qīng sōng miǎo shā diào de 。
尽管此时此刻，他们依旧人多势众然而信心，早已被林轩完全摧毁得一点都不剩了。就在不久前，这些家伙可是亲眼目睹，几名同伴是如何被林轩轻松秒杀掉的。
"You..."
tā men zì wèn ， shí lì yǔ bǐ zhī nà jǐ gè dǎo méi yǔn luò de jiā huo ， yě bù guò xiāng chà fǎng fú ， nà yǔ lín xuān duì shàng ， jié guǒ shì shén me ， hái yòng dé zhe duō shuō ？
他们自问，实力与比之那几个倒霉陨落的家伙，也不过相差仿佛，那与林轩对上，结果是什么，还用得着多说？
The woman in black robes looked both shocked and furious. She couldn't believe that such Spirit Transformation experts were so cowardly. Even if the opponent was strong, wouldn't twenty or more people running for their lives still have the face to live?
“ sōu ！” pò kōng shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， què shì yī míng shēn chuān zào páo de lǎo zhě ， yǎn jiàn xíng shì wēi jí ， xuǎn zé tuō shēn ér táo le 。
“嗖！”破空声传入耳朵，却是一名身穿皂袍的老者，眼见形势危急，选择脱身而逃了。
She might as well buy a tofu and end it all.
zhè wèi de dùn guāng dào yě xùn sù ， zhuǎn shùn jiān jiù fēi lüè dào le tiān biān 。
这位的遁光倒也迅速，转瞬间就飞掠到了天边。
Unfortunately, she forgot that cultivators are inherently more afraid of death than ordinary humans. She had been blinded by grief over her partner's demise.
qí tā lǎo guài wù yuán běn jiù xīn cún tǎn tè ， cǐ kè jiàn yǒu rén dài tóu ， lì kè shuō zǒu jiù zǒu ， sì sàn ér táo ， shèn zhì bāo kuò tài xuán mén zhǔ ， yě huà wèi yī dào dùn guāng fēi xiàng yuǎn chù 。
其他老怪物原本就心存忐忑，此刻见有人带头，立刻说走就走，四散而逃，甚至包括太玄门主，也化为一道遁光飞向远处。
Others would not be so easily swayed.
“ nǐ men …”
“你们…”
They believed they were making the right choice. Lin Xuan was only one person; he couldn't chase down and kill so many cultivators simultaneously. Therefore, apart from a few unlucky ones, everyone else still had a chance to escape.
nà hēi páo zhào tǐ de nǚ zǐ tóu jīng yòu nù ， xiǎng bú dào táng táng fēn shén qī xiū xiān zhě ， jū rán dǎn xiǎo dào rú cǐ dì bù 。 jiù suàn duì fāng qiáng yòu rú hé ， èr shí yú rén bào tóu shǔ cuàn ， hái yǒu miàn mù huó zài zhè shì shàng me ？
那黑袍罩体的女子头惊又怒，想不到堂堂分神期修仙者，居然胆小到如此地步。就算对方强又如何，二十余人抱头鼠窜，还有面目活在这世上么？
Was it really like that?
bù rú mǎi kuài dòu fǔ zhuàng sǐ suàn le 。
不如买块豆腐撞死算了。
Lin Xuan's lips curled into a sneer.
kě xī tā wàng le ， xiū xiān zhě yuán běn jiù bǐ fán rén gèng pà sǐ ， tā bù guò shì yīn wèi bàn lǚ yǔn luò ， ér bèi chóu hèn méng bì le lǐ zhì 。
可惜她忘了，修仙者原本就比凡人更怕死，她不过是因为伴侣陨落，而被仇恨蒙蔽了理智。
He wasn't a cruel killer, but he understood the principle well.
qí tā rén kě bù huì rú cǐ 。
其他人可不会如此。
Letting a tiger back into the mountains would bring endless trouble.
ér tā men yě zì rèn wéi xuǎn zé méi cuò ， lín xuān zài qiáng ， yě zhǐ yǒu yí gè rén ， bù kě néng tóng shí zhuī shā nà me duō xiū xiān zhě ， suǒ yǐ chú le jǐ gè dǎo méi de jiā huo ， qí tā rén ， hái shì dà yǒu jī huì táo chū shēng tiān de 。
而他们也自认为选择没错，林轩再强，也只有一个人，不可能同时追杀那么多修仙者，所以除了几个倒霉的家伙，其他人，还是大有机会逃出生天的。
Having fought to such an extent with the Three Factions Alliance, their relationship was irreconcilable. Either you died or I did. How could Lin Xuan be so foolish as to let these old monsters of Spirit Transformation stage return?
zhēn shì rú cǐ me ？
真是如此么？
When they had the upper hand earlier, they hadn't spared his sect's disciples.
lín xuān zuǐ jiǎo biān shǎn guò yī lǚ jī fěng zhī sè 。
林轩嘴角边闪过一缕讥讽之色。
He was merely retaliating now.
tā bú shì cán rěn shì shā de jiā huo ， dàn yǒu yí gè dào lǐ què yě xīn zhōng yǒu shù 。
他不是残忍嗜杀的家伙，但有一个道理却也心中有数。
With this thought in mind, Lin Xuan really acted.
fàng hǔ guī shān ， hòu huàn wú qióng 。
放虎归山，后患无穷。
Waving his sleeves, spiritual light flashed, and a dilapidated tower flew out.
yǔ sān pài lián méng dǎ dào rú cǐ dì bù ， bǐ cǐ de guān xì yǐ bù kě tiáo hé ， bú shì nǐ sǐ ， jiù shì wǒ huó ， lín xuān zěn me huì shǎ hū hū de fàng zhè xiē fēn shén qī lǎo guài huí qù ne ？
与三派联盟打到如此地步，彼此的关系已不可调和，不是你死，就是我活，林轩怎么会傻乎乎的放这些分神期老怪回去呢？
On the surface, it looked unremarkable.
dāng chū zhàn jù shàng fēng zhī shí ， tā men duì běn mén dì zǐ kě bù céng shǒu xià liú qíng guò 。
当初占据上风之时，他们对本门弟子可不曾手下留情过。
But how could the Ten Thousand Souls Tower be trash?
zì jǐ rú jīn bù guò shì yǐ yá huán yá bà le 。
自己如今不过是以牙还牙罢了。
Lin Xuan raised his right hand, and a magical technique shot out from his fingertips. As he moved, creaking sounds filled his ears as the entire tower emitted spiritual light. The first layer opened, and brilliant white light erupted inside, forming a vortex that was dazzling to look at.
nǎo hǎi zhōng rú cǐ xiǎng zhe ， lín xuān yě zhēn de dòng shǒu le 。
脑海中如此想着，林轩也真的动手了。
Following this, buzzing noises grew louder as blood-red insect clouds poured out. The number of these insects was staggering.
xiù páo yī fú ， líng guāng shǎn shuò ， yī pò pò làn làn de bǎo tǎ fēi lüè ér chū 。
袖袍一拂，灵光闪烁，一破破烂烂的宝塔飞掠而出。
Bloodfire Ants!
biǎo miàn shàng kàn méi yǒu rèn hé qǐ yǎn zhī chù 。
表面上看没有任何起眼之处。
Lin Xuan didn't expect these demonic insects to defeat the old monsters of Spirit Transformation stage in battle. Even with such numbers, it would be impossible.
rán ér wàn hún tǎ yòu zěn me kě néng shì fèi wù ne ？
然而万魂塔又怎么可能是废物呢？
He only hoped that a slight delay would suffice.
lín xuān yòu shǒu tái qǐ ， yī dào fǎ jué yóu zhǐ jiān jī shè ér chū ， suí zhe tā de dòng zuò ， zhī ya shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， zhěng gè bǎo tǎ líng guāng dà zuò ， dì yī céng dǎ kāi ， yào yǎn de bái guāng cóng lǐ miàn hōng rán bào fā chū lái 。
林轩右手抬起，一道法诀由指尖激射而出，随着他的动作，吱呀声传入耳朵，整个宝塔灵光大作，第一层打开，耀眼的白光从里面轰然爆发出来。
Among these twenty or so old monsters, Lin Xuan intended to leave none unscathed.
xíng chéng le yí gè xuán wō ， yào yǎn ér cì mù 。
形成了一个漩涡，耀眼而刺目。
"Throw!"
suí hòu wēng míng shēng dà zuò ， xuè hóng sè de chóng yún yóu lǐ miàn fēng yōng ér chū 。 shù liàng zhī duō ， dá dào le lìng rén chēng mù jié shé de dì bù 。
随后嗡鸣声大做，血红色的虫云由里面蜂拥而出。数量之多，达到了令人瞠目结舌的地步。
A mental command issued from Lin Xuan, and the bloodfire ants immediately split into several groups, chasing in different directions.
xuè huǒ yǐ ！
血火蚁！
Though the process seemed complex, it took but an instant. Just as he finished everything, a sudden flash of sharp light sounded in his ears. A black lightning bolt streaked towards him.
lín xuān bù qī wàng cǐ mó chóng duì shàng fēn shén qī lǎo guài wù ， néng gòu yǒu zhàn ér shèng zhī de xiào guǒ ， jí biàn shù liàng zài duō ， nà jī hū yě shì bù kě néng de 。
林轩不期望此魔虫对上分神期老怪物，能够有战而胜之的效果，即便数量再多，那几乎也是不可能的。
The speed was indeed swift, but such an attack would be too simplistic to hit Lin Xuan.
Now, the elders of the Three Factions Alliance had no choice but to proceed. On the other side, Lin Xuan's actions subtly changed.
Although he possessed purified Ten Thousand Year Spirit Milk, which could instantly replenish his expended magical power, this method was not the proper path.
Consuming too much Ten Thousand Year Spirit Milk would also have some adverse effects.
If truly encountering a formidable enemy and having no choice but to do so, it would be understandable. However, at this moment, Lin Xuan clearly had other options available.
Although the Heavenly Phoenix Divine Eye failed to find where the array's center was located, that did not mean there were no ways to break the array.
He just needed to use a companion treasure.
However, this treasure was a one-time-use consumable item, and he didn't have many of them. He wouldn't wish to use it unless absolutely necessary.
A bit reluctant!
But as an old saying goes, when faced with two harmful choices, choose the lesser evil. With Lin Xuan's deep-seated wisdom, he naturally made the correct choice at this moment.
A determined look flashed across his eyes.

Lin Xuan didn't expect these demonic insects to defeat the old monsters of Spirit Transformation stage in battle. Even with such numbers, it would be impossible.
He only hoped that a slight delay would suffice.
Among these twenty or so old monsters, Lin Xuan intended to leave none unscathed.
"Throw!"
A mental command issued from Lin Xuan, and the bloodfire ants immediately split into several groups, chasing in different directions.
Though the process seemed complex, it took but an instant. Just as he finished everything, a sudden flash of sharp light sounded in his ears. A black lightning bolt streaked towards him.
The speed was indeed swift, but such an attack would be too simplistic to hit Lin Xuan.
