柳剑没有回答，冷笑一声，肩头微抖，几屡黑气从他身上冒出，纠缠在一起，化为了一条黑色的巨蟒，向着少女而去。
Liu Jian did not respond. He sneered, his shoulders slightly trembling as several strands of black energy emerged from him, intertwining to form a massive black python that headed towards the young woman.
yè rú suī rán yě shì zhù jī qī xiū shì ， dàn zuò wèi jiā zhǔ de dú nǚ ， píng shí dà jiā dōu ràng zhe tā jǐ fēn ， shèn shǎo yǔ rén dòng shǒu ， jiàn dào rú cǐ guǐ yì de fǎ shù ， qiào lì de miàn róng shàng bù yóu lù chū le jǐ fēn jīng huáng zhī sè 。
叶茹虽然也是筑基期修士，但做为家主的独女，平时大家都让着她几分，甚少与人动手，见到如此诡异的法术，俏丽的面容上不由露出了几分惊惶之色。
Ye Ru, though also at the Foundation Establishment stage, was the only daughter of the family head and had rarely engaged in physical combat due to everyone's leniency. Seeing such an eerie spell, she couldn't help showing signs of alarm on her pretty face.
tā shēn shàng suī rán hái yǒu qí tā líng qì ， dàn zhè shí hòu qǔ yǐ jīng lái bù jí ， wú nài zhī xià ， zhǐ hǎo tán kǒu wēi zhāng ， tǔ chū le yī lǚ chì bái sè de huǒ yàn 。
她身上虽然还有其他灵器，但这时候取已经来不及，无奈之下，只好檀口微张，吐出了一缕赤白色的火焰。
Although there were other spirit artifacts on her body, it was too late to retrieve them now. Reluctantly, she opened her mouth slightly and spat out a streak of crimson-white flames.
xiān tiān zhēn huǒ ！
先天真火！
Primordial True Fire!
yè rú de liǎn shàng wēi lù níng zhòng zhī sè ， shuāng shǒu qiā jué ， zuò lán huā zhǐ ， chōng zháo huǒ yàn yī shēng qīng chì ：“ duō ！”
叶茹的脸上微露凝重之色，双手掐诀，做兰花指，冲着火焰一声轻叱：“咄！”
A slight frown appeared on Ye Ru's face as she formed hand seals, making a lotus gesture with her fingers, and lightly shouted: "Duo!"
hū de yī xià ， xiān tiān zhēn huǒ bào zhǎng qǐ lái ， biàn dé yǒu bā zhǎng dà de yī tuán ， xiàng zhe nà gǔ guài de jù mǎng yíng le shàng qù 。
忽的一下，先天真火暴涨起来，变得有巴掌大的一团，像着那古怪的巨蟒迎了上去。
The Primordial True Fire suddenly surged, growing to the size of a palm. It met the strange python head-on.
yè rú sōng le kǒu qì ， duì yú zì jǐ běn mìng zhēn huǒ de wēi lì ， tā hái shì xìn xīn shí zú ， rán ér xià yī kè ， jiù zhēng dà le měi mù 。
叶茹松了口气，对于自己本命真火的威力，她还是信心十足，然而下一刻，就睁大了美目。
Ye Ru heaved a sigh of relief. She was confident in the power of her innate true fire. However, just as she did so, her eyes widened in shock.
zěn me kě néng ？
怎么可能？
How could this be?
nà jù mǎng bù shǎn bù duǒ ， zhí jiē yǔ huǒ yàn duì pèng ， hěn kuài quán shēn jiù bèi shāo zhe le ， rán ér jù mǎng háo wú tòng chǔ zhī sè ， fǎn ér guǐ yì zhì jí de jiāng zì jǐ de xiān tiān zhēn huǒ tóng huà le …… huǒ yàn biàn wèi le hēi sè ， bāo guǒ zhù jù mǎng de shēn tǐ 。
那巨蟒不闪不躲，直接与火焰对碰，很快全身就被烧着了，然而巨蟒毫无痛楚之色，反而诡异至极的将自己的先天真火同化了……火焰变为了黑色，包裹住巨蟒的身体。
The python did not dodge; it directly clashed with the flames. Soon, its entire body was engulfed by the fire. Yet, instead of showing any pain, the python strangely assimilated Ye Ru's Primordial True Fire... The flames turned black and enveloped the python’s body.
rán hòu yī tiáo hún shēn rán shāo zhe xióng xióng mó yán de guài mǎng xiàng tā shā le guò qù 。
然后一条浑身燃烧着熊熊魔炎的怪蟒像她杀了过去。
Then, a monstrous python, burning with fierce demonic flames, lunged at her.
yè rú liǎn bái rú zhǐ 。 zhè shí hòu duǒ shǎn yǐ jīng lái bù jí 。 tā suī rán bù yuàn yì zuò yǐ dài bì 。 rán ér què shì méi yǒu yìng fù dì shǒu duàn yǔ zhǔ yì 。 yǎn jiàn jù mǎng jiù yào jiāng yè rú yī kǒu tūn shì 。 tū rán yī hēi sè dì guài shǒu píng kōng chū xiàn 。 yī bǎ jiāng jù mǎng wò zài le zhǎng lǐ 。 rán hòu wēi yī yòng lì 。 nà jù mǎng jiù bèi dǎ huí le yuán xíng 。 tóng shí 。 yī qiáng dà ér bīng lěng dì shén shí 。 sà rán fú xiàn 。 jiāng tā men lǒng zhào zài qí jiān 。
叶茹脸白如纸。这时候躲闪已经来不及。她虽然不愿意坐以待毙。然而却是没有应付地手段与主意。眼见巨蟒就要将叶茹一口吞噬。突然一黑色地怪手凭空出现。一把将巨蟒握在了掌里。然后微一用力。那巨蟒就被打回了原型。同时。一强大而冰冷地神识。飒然浮现。将他们笼罩在其间。
Ye Ru’s face paled as it was too late to dodge now. Although she didn’t want to sit idly by, she had no means or plans to deal with this situation. Just as the python was about to swallow her whole, a black hand appeared out of nowhere and grabbed the python in its palm. With a slight tug, the python reverted to its original form. At the same time, a powerful and cold divine consciousness emerged, enveloping them.
pīn dòu gā rán ér zhǐ 。 suǒ yǒu rén jiē jīng yí bù dìng dì sì chù dǎ liàng 。
拼斗嘎然而止。所有人皆惊疑不定地四处打量。
The fight abruptly stopped, and everyone looked around in shock and uncertainty.
zhè zhǒng gǎn jué 。 zhè zhǒng wēi shì ……
这种感觉。这种威势……
This feeling... this presence...
níng dān qī xiū shì ？
凝丹期修士？
Condensation Core stage cultivator?
“ nán dào duì fāng lái le bāng shǒu ？” liǔ jiàn jīng yí bù dìng dì xiǎng zhe 。 suí jí yáo le yáo tóu ：“ yè jiā jǐn yǒu jiā zhǔ yǒu cǐ shí lì 。 rú guǒ zhēn shì zhè yā tou dì fù qīn lái le 。 nǎ lǐ hái huì gù nòng xuán xū 。 zǎo jiù zhí jiē chū shǒu dǎ fā diào zì jǐ 。”
“难道对方来了帮手？”柳剑惊疑不定地想着。随即摇了摇头：“叶家仅有家主有此实力。如果真是这丫头地父亲来了。哪里还会故弄玄虚。早就直接出手打发掉自己。”
Could it be that the opponent had brought reinforcements? Liu Jian pondered with doubt before shaking his head. "Only the family head has such strength at Ye Family. If it really is her father, he wouldn’t bother to play tricks; he would have dealt with me directly."
“ lǎo fū zài cǐ 。 jǐ gè xiǎo bèi zài zhè lǐ lǐ suo dì rǎo rén ěr mù 。 dōu gěi wǒ gǔn le 。” yī lüè xiǎn cāng lǎo dì shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ 。
“老夫在此。几个小辈在这里里嗦地扰人耳目。都给我滚了。”一略显苍老地声音传入耳朵。
"Old man, these youngsters are causing a disturbance here. Get out of my way," an old voice echoed.
liǔ jiàn bù yóu dà tàn huì qì ， cǐ cì wèi shǎo zhǔ bàn shì ， yǎn jiàn jiù yào dà gōng gào chéng ， què piān piān zhuàng shàng yī níng dān qī de xiū shì 。
柳剑不由大叹晦气，此次为少主办事，眼见就要大功告成，却偏偏撞上一凝丹期的修士。
Liu Jian sighed in bad luck. He had almost completed his mission for the young master but was now facing a Condensation Core stage cultivator.
tīng duì fāng de yǔ qì ， shì qià hǎo lù guò ， zài cǐ xiē xī dì yàng zi ， suī rán xīn zhōng bù mǎn zhì jí ， dàn tā rú hé gǎn dé zuì níng dān qī xiū shì ， lián máng liǎn lù péi xiào de biǎo qíng dào ：“ duì bù qǐ qián bèi 。 wǎn bèi yǔ zhè yā tou yǒu yì diǎn sī chóu ， chǔ lǐ wán mǎ shàng jiù ……”
听对方的语气，是恰好路过，在此歇息地样子，虽然心中不满至极，但他如何敢得罪凝丹期修士，连忙脸露陪笑的表情道：“对不起前辈。晚辈与这丫头有一点私仇，处理完马上就……”
Listening to the tone, it seemed like the person just happened to be passing by and resting here. Although he was extremely displeased, how could he offend a Condensation Core stage cultivator? He quickly put on a smile and said: "Forgive me, senior. I have a personal grudge with this girl; I will leave right after dealing with her."
“ gǔn ， méi tīng shuō lǎo fū bù xǐ huān rén dǎ rǎo ma 。 hái shì xiǎng ràng wǒ chū shǒu ！”
“滚，没听说老夫不喜欢人打扰吗。还是想让我出手！”
"Get out! Haven’t you heard that old man doesn’t like to be disturbed? Or do you want me to deal with it!"
liǔ jiàn de xiào róng jiāng zài liǎn shàng ， yǎn dǐ shēn chù shǎn guò yī sī yuàn dú ， dàn biǎo miàn shàng ， yī rán shì yī fù gōng jìng de shén sè ：“ shì ， shì ， wǎn bèi zhè jiù zǒu ， bù dǎ rǎo qián bèi qīng xiū 。” shuō wán ， yī huī shǒu ， dài zhe jǐ gè shǒu xià xiāo shī zài le shù lín zhōng 。
柳剑的笑容僵在脸上，眼底深处闪过一丝怨毒，但表面上，依然是一副恭敬的神色：“是，是，晚辈这就走，不打扰前辈清修。”说完，一挥手，带着几个手下消失在了树林中。
Liu Jian’s smile froze on his face as a hint of venom flashed in his eyes, but he maintained a respectful demeanor. "Yes, yes, I will leave immediately and not disturb your cultivation." With those words, he waved his hand, and his group vanished into the forest.
“ wǎn bèi yè rú 。 duō xiè qián bèi de jiù mìng zhī ēn 。” sǐ lǐ táo shēng de shào nǚ xīn zhōng dà wèi gǎn jī ， lián máng liǎn rèn wèi lǐ ， rán hòu què bàn tiān dōu méi yǒu huí yìng ， bù yóu lù chū yī sī chà yì dì biǎo qíng 。
“晚辈叶茹。多谢前辈的救命之恩。”死里逃生的少女心中大为感激，连忙敛衽为礼，然后却半天都没有回应，不由露出一丝诧异地表情。
"Thank you for saving me, senior," the relieved young woman said with gratitude as she curtsied. But there was no response, leaving her puzzled.
“ xiǎo jiě ……” děng le liáng jiǔ ， yě méi yǒu dòng jìng ， yí gè èr shí suì zuǒ yòu ， zhǎng xiàng pǒ wèi jī líng de nián qīng rén bù yóu kāi kǒu le 。
“小姐……”等了良久，也没有动静，一个二十岁左右，长相颇为机灵的年轻人不由开口了。
"Miss..." After a long wait, an agile-looking man in his twenties couldn’t help speaking up.
“ huí qù ！” yè rú tàn le kǒu qì ， kàn le yī yǎn dì shàng de shī tǐ ：“ jiāng xiǎo liù zi hǎo hǎo ān zàng 。”
“回去！”叶茹叹了口气，看了一眼地上的尸体：“将小六子好好安葬。”
"Go back!" Ye Ru sighed and looked at the dead body on the ground: "Burial Little Six properly."
shuō wán huà wèi yī dào dùn guāng ， fēi xiàng yè jiā bǎo de fāng xiàng 。 qí tā rén yě lián máng gēn shàng 。
说完化为一道遁光，飞向叶家堡的方向。其他人也连忙跟上。
She then transformed into a streak of light and flew towards Ye Familyfortress. The others followed closely behind.
jiū jìng shuí mào chōng liǔ jiàn xí jī zì jǐ ， nà wèi jiù le zì jǐ de qián bèi yòu shì shuí ne ， zhēn de shì pèng qiǎo lù guò cǐ dì de sàn xiū me ？
究竟谁冒充柳剑袭击自己，那位救了自己的前辈又是谁呢，真的是碰巧路过此地的散修么？
Who had impersonated Liu Jian to attack her? And who was that senior who saved her? Could it really be just a coincidence, an unaffiliated cultivator passing by?
kàn lái zhǐ hǎo yǔ diē diē shāng liáng 。
看来只好与爹爹商量。
It seemed she would have to consult with her father.
dāng yè dà xiǎo jiě xīn zhōng chōng mǎn kùn huò ， kǔ sī bù dé qí jiě de shí hòu ， lín xuān yě zǎo yǐ qiǎo rán lí kāi le ， bù guò tā què bú shì qù yè jiā bǎo ， ér shì gēn zài liǔ jiàn de shēn hòu 。
当叶大小姐心中充满困惑，苦思不得其解的时候，林轩也早已悄然离开了，不过他却不是去叶家堡，而是跟在柳剑的身后。
As Lady Ye sized up the situation and pondered over it, Lin Xuan had already quietly left. However, he did not head towards Ye Familyfortress but followed Liu Jian.
duì fāng suǒ xiū liàn dì gōng fǎ suī rán guǐ yì ， dàn yǐ lín xuān níng dān qī de xiū wèi ， xiǎng yào bù bèi tā fā xiàn 。 què yě qīng sōng yǐ jí 。
对方所修炼地功法虽然诡异，但以林轩凝丹期的修为，想要不被他发现。却也轻松以极。
Although the technique the other person practiced was strange, as a Condensation Core stage cultivator himself, Lin Xuan could easily avoid detection without being noticed.
nà rén yī lù xiàng xī 。 fēi le zú yǒu bǎi yú lǐ ， cái zài yī xuán yá qián tíng le xià lái 。
那人一路向西。飞了足有百余里，才在一悬崖前停了下来。
The man flew west for more than a hundred miles before stopping in front of a cliff. He took out a talisman from his chest and muttered some words, then activated it.
rán hòu cóng huái zhōng qǔ chū yī zhāng fú 。 kǒu zhōng niàn niàn yǒu cí de bǐ huà le yī fān ， zhè cái jiāng qí jì le qǐ lái 。
然后从怀中取出一张符。口中念念有词的比划了一番，这才将其祭了起来。
After the talisman burned away, it transformed into a black crow that vanished into the sky.
nà fú rán shāo yǐ hòu ， huà wèi yī zhī hēi sè dì wū yā ， xiāo shī zài le tiān jì 。
那符燃烧以后，化为一只黑色地乌鸦，消失在了天际。
Liu Jian drove everyone else away and waited anxiously on the spot, sighing repeatedly as if in great distress.
rán hòu liǔ jiàn jiāng qí tā rén dǎ fǎ zǒu ， zì jǐ zé shén sè bù ān de děng zài yuán dì ， bù shí āi shēng tàn qì ， hěn shì jīng huáng de yàng zi 。
然后柳剑将其他人打法走，自己则神色不安的等在原地，不时唉声叹气，很是惊惶的样子。
Seeing his expression, Lin Xuan frowned. This man was also at the Foundation Establishment stage; what could make him so fearful?
jiàn le tā de biǎo qíng ， lín xuān méi tou yí zhòu ， cǐ rén yě shì zhù jī zhōng qī xiū shì ， néng gòu ràng tā rú cǐ wèi jù de ， nán dào shì ……
见了他的表情，林轩眉头一皱，此人也是筑基中期修士，能够让他如此畏惧的，难道是……
Though he wasn’t entirely sure, Lin Xuan, with his cautious nature, used hisgather qi technique to its utmost extent. Unless aninfant period old monster was nearby, he believed no one would detect him.
suī rán bù gǎn kěn dìng ， dàn yǐ lín xuān xiǎo xīn wú dà cuò de xìng zi ， zì rán shì jiāng liǎn qì gōng fǎ fā huī dào jí zhì ， zhè yàng chú fēi shì yuán yīng qī lǎo guài lái dào fù jìn ， fǒu zé ， lín xuān xiāng xìn méi yǒu rén néng gòu fā xiàn zì jǐ 。
虽然不敢肯定，但以林轩小心无大错的性子，自然是将敛气功法发挥到极致，这样除非是元婴期老怪来到附近，否则，林轩相信没有人能够发现自己。
They didn’t have to wait long. Just a cup of tea later, a black cloud flew over from the distance, moving slowly but swiftly. Initially far away, it soon approached them.
liǎng rén bìng méi yǒu děng duō jiǔ ， jǐn jǐn yī zhǎn chá yǐ hòu ， jiù yǒu yī duǒ hēi yún cóng yuǎn chù fēi le guò lái ， shì màn shí kuài ， kāi shǐ shàng yuǎn ， mò guò duō jiǔ jiù lái dào le yǎn qián 。
两人并没有等多久，仅仅一盏茶以后，就有一朵黑云从远处飞了过来，似慢实快，开始尚远，没过多久就来到了眼前。
The black cloud stopped above Lin Xuan’s head. After some swirling, the fog dispersed, revealing a young man.
kàn zhe nà qī hēi rú mò de yún cǎi ， lín xuān yǎn zhōng shǎn guò yī lǚ yì sè ， sì hū zài nǎ ér jiàn guò 。
看着那漆黑如墨的云彩，林轩眼中闪过一缕异色，似乎在哪儿见过。
"Is he?"
nà liǔ jiàn de liǎn shàng zé lù chū yī sī jìng wèi de shén sè ， gōng jìng dì bào quán xíng lǐ ：“ shǔ xià yuán sān ， cān jiàn shǎo zhǔ 。”
那柳剑的脸上则露出一丝敬畏的神色，恭敬地抱拳行礼：“属下袁三，参见少主。”
Lin Xuan’s eyebrows raised slightly upon seeing that person's face. It was indeed fate; he hadn’t expected to run into someone familiar in this remote Qing Ye Mountain.
yī biān shuō yī biān zài liǎn shàng yī mǒ ， yī zhāng báo rú chán yì de miàn jù bèi qǔ le xià lái ， nà zì chēng yuán sān de jiā huo yě mú yàng yī biàn ， yóu yī wèi piān piān jiā gōng zi biàn wèi le yī mǎn liǎn héng ròu de guāng tóu dà hàn 。
一边说一边在脸上一抹，一张薄如蝉翼的面具被取了下来，那自称袁三的家伙也模样一变，由一位翩翩佳公子变为了一满脸横肉的光头大汉。
Tian Xiaojian!
rén pí miàn jù ？
人皮面具？
This disciple of the Supreme Evil Tyrant, Lin Xuan couldn’t help but feel surprised after a few years. He had condensed his golden core! Knowing how many ancient elixirs aided him, he wondered what kind of extraordinary experience this young master of the Dark Sect had undergone.
lín xuān lüè wēi yǒu xiē chà yì ， shì sú wǔ lín zhōng yě yǒu zhè yàng de dōng xī ， bù guò cǐ wù xiǎn rán yào gāo jí dé duō ， bù zhī dào shì yòng shén me zhēn guì cái liào liàn zhì ， jū rán néng gòu piàn guò zì jǐ de shén shí 。
林轩略微有些诧异，世俗武林中也有这样的东西，不过此物显然要高级得多，不知道是用什么珍贵材料炼制，居然能够骗过自己的神识。
Lin Xuan’s heart tightened. Among peers, only this Supreme Evil Young Master posed a real threat to him.
nà hēi yún zài tóu dǐng tíng le xià lái ， yī zhèn fān yǒng zhī hòu wù qì sàn kāi ， lù chū le yí gè nián qīng rén lái 。
那黑云在头顶停了下来，一阵翻涌之后雾气散开，露出了一个年轻人来。
Although in Tian Xiaojian's earlier days on Mount Tianmu, he called Lin Xuan "big brother" affectionately, Lin Xuan wasn’t easily fooled. He could always sense the faint hostility in Tian Xiaojian’s eyes, though it was well concealed.
“ shì tā ？”
“是他？”
Despite not turning into open enemies and even collaborating once, Lin Xuan remained cautious around this person.
kàn qīng chǔ nà rén de róng yán ， lín xuān de méi tóu bù yóu wēi wēi tiāo le yī xià ， hái zhēn shì bù dǎ bù xiāng shí a ， méi xiǎng dào zài zhè piān pì de qīng yè shān ， jū rán huì pèng jiàn zhè me yí gè shú rén lái 。
看清楚那人的容颜，林轩的眉头不由微微挑了一下，还真是不打不相识啊，没想到在这偏僻的青叶山，居然会碰见这么一个熟人来。

Liu Jian did not respond. He sneered, his shoulders slightly trembling as several strands of black energy emerged from him, intertwining to form a massive black python that headed towards the young woman.
"..."
