liǎng rén de zhǔ yào mù dì ， xiǎn rán shì zhǎo nài lóng zhēn rén jiāo huàn bǎo wù ， nà shū zhuāng hé jiū jìng yǒu shén me xuán miào zhī chù ， dà jiā dōu hěn hào qí 。
两人的主要目的，显然是找鼐龙真人交换宝物，那梳妆盒究竟有什么玄妙之处，大家都很好奇。
The main goal of the two was clearly to exchange treasures with Nailed Dragon Immortal. Everyone was very curious about what mysterious aspects the cosmetic box had.
dàn hào qí guī hào qí ， què méi yǒu rén yuàn yì jié wài shēng zhī ， dé zuì zhēn mó shǐ zǔ zhè yàng de chǔn shì ， zài chǎng de lǎo guài wù ， shì bú huì yǒu rén zuò dì 。
但好奇归好奇，却没有人愿意节外生枝，得罪真魔始祖这样的蠢事，在场的老怪物，是不会有人做地。
However, despite their curiosity, no one wanted to complicate matters or offend such a fool as the True Demon Ancestor. The old monsters present would not do something so stupid.
tuì yī bù hǎi kuò tiān kōng ， nài lóng zhēn rén méi yǒu yǔ bīng pò bǎo shé chōng tū ， liǎng rén zài dá chéng mù dì zhī hòu ， zhǔn bèi lí qù 。
退一步海阔天空，鼐龙真人没有与冰魄宝蛇冲突，两人在达成目的之后，准备离去。
Withdrawing for now meant a broad sky and vast sea. Nailed Dragon Immortal did not conflict with the Ice Soul Treasure Snake; after they achieved their goals, they prepared to leave.
yī qiè sì hū gào yí duàn luò 。
一切似乎告一段落。
Everything seemed to be winding down.
kě bīng pò bǎo shé què biǎo shì ， lín xuān yǔ tā men liǎng rén jiē yǒu chóu yuàn ， jì rán jī yuán qiǎo hé ， zài zhè lǐ yù jiàn le ， nà zì rán xū yào suàn yī suàn 。
可冰魄宝蛇却表示，林轩与她们两人皆有仇怨，既然机缘巧合，在这里遇见了，那自然需要算一算。
But the Ice Soul Treasure Snake stated that Lin Xuan had grievances against them both. Since fate brought them together here, it was natural that they needed to settle accounts.
yǒu méi yǒu gǎo cuò 。
有没有搞错。
Wasn't this a mistake?
zhòng lǎo guài dōu chēng mù jié shé ， shuō dāi ruò mù jī ， nà shì háo bù wèi guò 。
众老怪都瞠目结舌，说呆若木鸡，那是毫不为过。
All the old monsters were dumbfounded; saying they were as stunned as wooden statues would not be an exaggeration.
zhè jiàn shì qíng dài lái de zhèn hàn ， yì diǎn yě bù bǐ lín xuān rèn shí guǎng hán zhēn rén yǔ qīng qiū guó zhǔ shǎo ， shèn zhì kě yǐ shuō gèng shèng yī chóu 。
这件事情带来的震撼，一点也不比林轩认识广寒真人与青丘国主少，甚至可以说更胜一筹。
This matter caused more shock than when Lin Xuan met Cold Moon Immortal and the Green Peak Queen. In fact, it might even surpass them in severity.
yào xiǎo de ， liǎng gè rén ruò jǐn jǐn shì rèn shí ， yǒu yì diǎn diǎn jiāo qíng de huà ， jí biàn bǐ cǐ shēn fèn shí lì xiāng chà xuán shū ， dàn zhǐ yào shì jī yuán qiǎo hé ， yī jiù shì dà yǒu kě néng de 。
要晓得，两个人若仅仅是认识，有一点点交情的话，即便彼此身份实力相差悬殊，但只要是机缘巧合，依旧是大有可能的。
One must know that if two people merely knew each other with a bit of acquaintance, despite significant differences in their status and power, such coincidental encounters were still possible.
kě jié chóu ， nà jiù dà bù yí yàng le 。
可结仇，那就大不一样了。
But forming enmity was quite different.
bǐ rú shuō ， yī gāng tà rù xiān dào de líng dòng qī xiū xiān zhě ， yǒu méi yǒu kě néng yǔ yī yuán yīng hòu qī de xiū shì jié chóu ？
比如说，一刚踏入仙道的灵动期修仙者，有没有可能与一元婴后期的修士结仇？
For example, could a Spirit Flexible Period cultivator who just entered the immortal path possibly form an enmity with a late-stage One婴 (a term for advanced cultivators) cultivator?
zhè xiǎn rán shì bù kě néng de 。
这显然是不可能的。
This was clearly impossible.
shuō jù bú kè qì de yán yǔ ， jiù píng qián zhě de shí lì ， gēn běn méi yǒu yǔ hòu zhě jié chóu de zī gé 。
说句不客气的言语，就凭前者的实力，根本没有与后者结仇的资格。
To be frank, based on their current strength, there was no reason for them to form such an enmity.
tīng qǐ lái shì bú shì hěn lí pǔ ？
听起来是不是很离谱？
Wasn't this absurd?
dàn dà jiā zhǐ yào jìng xià xīn lái xiǎng yī xiǎng ， jiù néng zhī dào ， qū qū yī líng dòng qī cài niǎo ， què shí shì méi yǒu shén me jī huì dé zuì yuán yīng jí bié xiū shì de 。
但大家只要静下心来想一想，就能知道，区区一灵动期菜鸟，确实是没有什么机会得罪元婴级别修士的。
But if everyone took a moment to think about it, they would realize that a mere Spirit Flexible Period novice indeed had little chance of offending a One婴 cultivator.
néng gòu kāi zuì yuán yīng jí bié de cún zài ， zhì shǎo shí lì bù yīng gāi bǐ qí xiāng chà tài duō ， ér zhè ge dào lǐ ， yùn yòng dào lín xuān yǔ bǎo shé bīng pò shēn shàng 。 nà yě shì yī yàng de 。
能够开罪元婴级别的存在，至少实力不应该比其相差太多，而这个道理，运用到林轩与宝蛇冰魄身上。那也是一样的。
Those who could offend a One婴 cultivator should not be significantly weaker. This principle applied equally to Lin Xuan and the Ice Soul Treasure Snake.
liǎng nǚ kě dōu shì zhēn mó shǐ zǔ ， tè bié shì bīng pò ， zài zhēn mó shǐ zǔ zhōng ， nà yě shì pái míng qián sān de jué qiǎng rén wù ， zhè yàng de cún zài 。 zài zhèng cháng qíng kuàng xià ， qǐ mǎ yào dù jié hòu qī de gāo shǒu ， cái pèi yǔ qí chéng wéi duì tóu 。
两女可都是真魔始祖，特别是冰魄，在真魔始祖中，那也是排名前三的绝强人物，这样的存在。在正常情况下，起码要渡劫后期的高手，才配与其成为对头。
Both were True Demon Ancestors, especially the Ice Soul, one of the top three strongest figures among them. Under normal circumstances, at least late-stage Tribulation Transcenders would be required to become rivals with such beings.
zhì yú jié chóu ， dào méi yǒu nà me gāo de yāo qiú ， dàn bù guǎn rú hé 。 qǐ mǎ yě yào dù jié jí bié yǐ shàng cái kě 。
至于结仇，倒没有那么高的要求，但不管如何。起码也要渡劫级别以上才可。
As for forming enmity, there was no such high requirement. But regardless, it should still involve Tribulation Transcender level cultivators.
nà lín xiǎo zi suàn shén me ， qū qū yī fēn shén jí bié de xiǎo jiā huo ， què tóng shí dé zuì liǎng wèi zhēn mó shǐ zǔ ， ruò bú shì qīn yǎn mù dǔ ， qīn ěr tīng dé qīng qīng chǔ chǔ ， zài chǎng de lǎo guài wù ， jué duì bú huì xiāng xìn de 。
那林小子算什么，区区一分神级别的小家伙，却同时得罪两位真魔始祖，若不是亲眼目睹，亲耳听得清清楚楚，在场的老怪物，绝对不会相信的。
What kind of guy was this Lin boy? A mere One Spirit Divided cultivator who simultaneously offended two True Demon Ancestors. If not seen and heard clearly by his own eyes, the old monsters present would never believe it.
dàn zài lìng rén nán yǐ zhì xìn 。 zhè yě shì shì shí 。
但再令人难以置信。这也是事实。
But no matter how unbelievable, this was a fact.
bǎo shé bīng pò ， shì bù kě néng zài zhè zhǒng wèn tí shàng kāi wán xiào de 。
宝蛇冰魄，是不可能在这种问题上开玩笑的。
The Ice Soul Treasure Snake could not joke about such matters.
yě jiù shì shuō ， lín xuān shì zhēn yǔ liǎng rén yǒu chóu méi cuò 。
也就是说，林轩是真与两人有仇没错。
In other words, Lin Xuan truly had grievances with them both.
yī shí jiān ， zhòng lǎo guài zài jīng è zhī yú ， fǎn yìng yě shì bù yī 。 qí zhōng yǐ xìng zāi lè huò de zhàn dà duō shù 。
一时间，众老怪在惊愕之余，反应也是不一。其中以幸灾乐祸的占大多数。
For a moment, the reactions of the old monsters varied. Most were gloating in joy.
bì jìng ， lín xuān zhǐ shì yī fēn shén jí bié de xiū xiān zhě ， fēng tou què gài guò le tā men zhōng de dà duō shù ， zhè xiē lǎo guài wù ， yí gè gè yí zhǐ qì shǐ guàn le ， xīn zhōng zì rán shì dà wèi bù shuǎng 。
毕竟，林轩只是一分神级别的修仙者，风头却盖过了他们中的大多数，这些老怪物，一个个颐指气使惯了，心中自然是大为不爽。
After all, Lin Xuan was only a One Spirit Divided cultivator, yet his reputation overshadowed many among them. These old monsters, used to giving orders, naturally felt quite displeased.
zhǐ bù guò lín xuān yǔ zhè me duì zuǐ dǐng jí de dà néng yǒu qiān sī wàn lǚ de guān xì 。 quán héng lì bì ， tā men yòu bù gǎn zhǎo zhè xiǎo zi de má fán ér yǐ 。
只不过林轩与这么对嘴顶级的大能有千丝万缕的关系。权衡利弊，他们又不敢找这小子的麻烦而已。
However, considering their relationship with this young man who had connections to top-tier experts, they dared not make trouble for him but were still unwilling to do so.
dàn zhù yì ， jǐn jǐn shì bù gǎn 。 bìng bù yì wèi zhe bù xiǎng 。
但注意，仅仅是不敢。并不意味着不想。
But note that it was just a matter of daring; it did not mean they did not want to.
zhè xiē rén zhōng ， jī hū dōu pàn zhe lín xuān dǎo méi chī kǔ ， rú jīn zhè yàng de jī huì zhōng yú lái le ， zhè lín xiǎo zi ， jū rán gǎn dé zuì bǎo shé bīng pò ， nà xiē bù shuǎng lín xuān de jiā huo 。 zì rán děng zhe yào kàn tā de xiào huà le 。
这些人中，几乎都盼着林轩倒霉吃苦，如今这样的机会终于来了，这林小子，居然敢得罪宝蛇冰魄，那些不爽林轩的家伙。自然等着要看他的笑话了。
Most of them secretly wished Lin Xuan bad luck and misfortune. Now such an opportunity finally came. This young man actually dared offend the Ice Soul Treasure Snake, and those who disliked him naturally looked forward to seeing his humiliation.
dāng rán ， dān xīn de yě yǒu 。
当然，担心的也有。
Of course, there were also those who worried.
bǐ rú shuō xiāng ér hái yǒu xià hóu lán 。 liǎng gè yā tou jiù huā róng shī sè 。
比如说香儿还有夏侯兰。两个丫头就花容失色。
For example, Xiang'er and Xiaohou Lan; both girls turned pale with fear.
tā men de shí lì shì bù rú hé ， dàn fù qīn yǔ shī fù què shì líng jiè zuì dǐng jí de xiū xiān zhě ， jiā xué yuān bó ， zì rán zhī dào zhēn mó shǐ zǔ kě pà dào hé zhǒng chéng dù ， lín dà gē zěn me huì dé zuì zhè yàng de lǎo guài wù 。
她们的实力是不如何，但父亲与师傅却是灵界最顶级的修仙者，家学渊博，自然之道真魔始祖可怕到何种程度，林大哥怎么会得罪这样的老怪物。
Their strength might not be much, but their fathers and mentors were among the top cultivators in the Spirit Realm. With such a profound family background, they naturally knew how terrifying True Demon Ancestors could be. How could Lin Brother offend such formidable old monsters?
nài lóng zhēn rén de liǎn shàng ， tóng yàng shì lù chū dà wèi yì wài zhī sè 。
鼐龙真人的脸上，同样是露出大为意外之色。
Nailed Dragon Immortal's face also showed great surprise.
zhè yàng de jié guǒ ， yǐ tā de chéng fǔ ， yī yàng shì bù céng cāi dào de 。
这样的结果，以他的城府，一样是不曾猜到的。
He had never guessed this result with his deep scheming mind.
ér zhè shí ， bīng pò de shēng yīn xú xú chuán rù ěr duǒ ：“ nài lóng dào yǒu ， wǒ yǔ bǎo shé mèi mèi ， yǔ zhè lín xiǎo zi jiē yǒu yuān chóu ， jiè dào yǒu de xiān shān dòng fǔ ， jiě jué zhè xiǎo jiā huo ， gé xià bú huì yǒu yì jiàn ba ！”
而这时，冰魄的声音徐徐传入耳朵：“鼐龙道友，我与宝蛇妹妹，与这林小子皆有冤仇，借道友的仙山洞府，解决这小家伙，阁下不会有意见吧！”
At this moment, Ice Soul spoke softly: "Friend Nailed Dragon, both my sister and I have grievances against this young man. Could you use your immortal mountain cave to settle matters with him? Would you not agree?"
bù guǎn rú hé ， lín xuān zǒng shì qián lái dào hè de bīn kè ， zhè lǐ yòu shì nài lóng zhēn rén de dòng fǔ ， yú qíng yú lǐ ， zì rán yào xún wèn yī xià zhǔ rén de yì jiàn rú hé 。
不管如何，林轩总是前来道贺的宾客，这里又是鼐龙真人的洞府，于情于理，自然要询问一下主人的意见如何。
Lin Xuan was a guest here who came to congratulate them; it was only reasonable to ask the host's opinion.
bù guò zài bīng pò kàn lái ， zhè yě jǐn jǐn shì lǐ jié shàng de xún wèn ér yǐ ， gāng gāng ， zài jiāo huàn bǎo wù de wèn tí shàng ， nài lóng dōu shí qù ràng bù ， rú jīn ， bù guò shì yào duì fù qū qū yī fēn shén jí bié de xiǎo jiā huo ， nài lóng zhēn rén zěn me kě néng wèi le tā ， tóng shí kāi zuì zì jǐ yǔ bǎo shé 。
不过在冰魄看来，这也仅仅是礼节上的询问而已，刚刚，在交换宝物的问题上，鼐龙都识趣让步，如今，不过是要对付区区一分神级别的小家伙，鼐龙真人怎么可能为了他，同时开罪自己与宝蛇。
However, in Ice Soul's view, this was merely a formality. Earlier, Nailed Dragon had already shown courtesy by yielding on the matter of exchanging treasures. Now, dealing with a mere One Spirit Divided cultivator, how could Nailed Dragon Immortal offend both her and the Ice Soul Treasure Snake for his sake?
rán ér dào lǐ shì zhè yàng méi cuò ， jiē xià lái de shì qíng de fā zhǎn ， què ràng lǎo móu shēn suàn de bīng pò xiān zi yě jīng dāi le 。
然而道理是这样没错，接下来的事情的发展，却让老谋深算的冰魄仙子也惊呆了。
However, while the principle was correct, what followed left even the cunning Ice Soul仙子 shocked.
“ xiān zi yǔ zhè wèi lín dào yǒu yǒu chóu ？”
“仙子与这位林道友有仇？”
"Immortal, do you have a grudge against this Lin friend?"
“ bù cuò ， zhēn rén kě fǒu jiè bǎo dì yī yòng ？” bīng pò wēi xiào zhe shuō 。
“不错，真人可否借宝地一用？”冰魄微笑着说。
"Yes. Can I use your precious land?" Ice Soul asked with a smile.
“ zhè kě bù xíng 。”
“这可不行。”
"That's impossible."
“ bù xíng ？” bīng pò méi tóu yī tiāo ， zhè yàng de huí dá ， kě shì dà chū tā de yù liào 。
“不行？”冰魄眉头一挑，这样的回答，可是大出她的预料。
"Impossible?" Ice Soul raised her eyebrows; such an answer was far beyond her expectations.
“ bù cuò ， lín dào yǒu jì rán lái dào cǐ chù ， nà jiù shì nài lóng de kè rén ， bié de dì fāng wǒ guǎn bù zhe ， dàn ruò shì zài péng lái xiān dǎo ràng tā chū le chā cuò ， nǐ shuō nài lóng zhè zhāng liǎn wǎng nǎ ér gē ？” nài lóng zhēn rén rú cǐ zhè bān de shuō 。
“不错，林道友既然来到此处，那就是鼐龙的客人，别的地方我管不着，但若是在蓬莱仙岛让他出了差错，你说鼐龙这张脸往哪儿搁？”鼐龙真人如此这般的说。
"I agree. Since Brother Lin came here, he is Nailed Dragon's guest. I have no say in other matters, but if something happens to him on Penglai Immortal Island, where would Nailed Dragon put his face?"
zhè fān huà tīng qǐ lái hé qíng hé lǐ ， qí shí nài lóng zhēn rén què duō duō shǎo shǎo ， duì lín xuān yǒu yī xiē wéi hù ， fǒu zé ， gāng cái duì fāng yào jiāo huàn bǎo wù ， tā dōu kě yǐ ràng shàng yī bù ， rú jīn liǎng rén yào duì fù yī xiǎo xiǎo de fēn shén qī xiū xiān zhě ， tā yī yàng kě yǐ gù zuò bú jiàn de 。
这番话听起来合情合理，其实鼐龙真人却多多少少，对林轩有一些维护，否则，刚才对方要交换宝物，他都可以让上一步，如今两人要对付一小小的分神期修仙者，他一样可以故作不见的。
Nailed Dragon Immortal said this with a reasonable tone. However, he had some degree of protection for Lin Xuan. Otherwise, earlier when the other party wanted to exchange treasures, he could have yielded; now that they were dealing with a mere One Spirit Divided cultivator, he could pretend not to see it.
zhè dào lǐ ， zài chǎng de lǎo guài wù dōu qīng chǔ 。
这道理，在场的老怪物都清楚。
This principle was clear to all the old monsters present.
bù yóu de àn zì jīng yí ， zhè lín xiǎo zi yǔ nài lóng zhēn rén jiū jìng shén me guān xì ， wèi le tā ， bù xī kāi zuì liǎng wèi zhēn mó shǐ zǔ 。
不由得暗自惊疑，这林小子与鼐龙真人究竟什么关系，为了他，不惜开罪两位真魔始祖。
They couldn't help but feel surprised and puzzled about Lin Xuan's relationship with Nailed Dragon Immortal. For his sake, Nailed Dragon Immortal risked offending two True Demon Ancestors.
rán ér tā men nǎ lǐ xiǎo de ， zhè bù guò shì gāng gāng kāi shǐ bà le 。
然而他们哪里晓得，这不过是刚刚开始罢了。
However, they did not know that this was just the beginning.
“ hē hē ， nài lóng zhēn rén suǒ yán ， zhèng hé lǎo fū de xīn yì ， bǎo shé bīng pò ， nǐ men yào zhǎo bié rén de má fán ， běn sàn xiān guǎn bù zhe ， dàn zhè lín xiǎo zi ， què bù néng dòng ， fǒu zé ， xiān wèn wèn lǎo fū 。”
“呵呵，鼐龙真人所言，正合老夫的心意，宝蛇冰魄，你们要找别人的麻烦，本散仙管不着，但这林小子，却不能动，否则，先问问老夫。”
"Haha, what Nailed Dragon Immortal said suits me perfectly. You want to cause trouble for others; this Loose Cloud Immortal has no say in it. But you cannot harm Brother Lin. Otherwise, ask me first."
guǎng hán zhēn rén dà xiào de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， lín xíng qián ， bǎi huā xiān zi céng tuō tā kàn jiàn lín xuān dài wéi zhào fú ， bìng jǐn kě néng ， gěi yī xiē hǎo chù 。
广寒真人大笑的声音传入耳朵，临行前，百花仙子曾托他看见林轩代为照拂，并尽可能，给一些好处。
Cold Moon Immortal's laughter echoed into their ears. Before leaving, Fairy Hundred Flowers had asked him to look after Lin Xuan and give him some benefits if possible.
méi xiǎng dào ， hái zhēn yù jiàn le 。
没想到，还真遇见了。
They never expected to meet him here.
yuán běn xiǎng yào shǎng cì zhè xiǎo jiā huo yī xiē bǎo wù ， nǎ xiǎo de zhè lín xiǎo zi ， què èr huà bù shuō de pīn mìng jù jué le 。
原本想要赏赐这小家伙一些宝物，哪晓得这林小子，却二话不说的拼命拒绝了。
Originally, they wanted to reward this young man with some treasures but did not expect that he would refuse without hesitation.
tā suī rán xīn zhōng yí huò ， dàn duì fāng yí dìng bú yào ， tā zì rán yě bù hǎo duō shuō 。
他虽然心中疑惑，但对方一定不要，他自然也不好多说。
Though he was puzzled, he naturally did not say much since the other party definitely did not want it.
méi xiǎng dào ， zhè lín xiǎo zi hái zhēn shì fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， lián bǎo shé bīng pò ， yě céng jīng dé zuì guò 。
没想到，这林小子还真是非同小可，连宝蛇冰魄，也曾经得罪过。
He did not expect Lin Xuan to be so formidable; even the Ice Soul Treasure Snake had offended him before.
xiàn zài xiá lù xiāng féng ， liǎng nǚ bù yuàn yì jiāng tā fàng guò ， guǎng hán zhēn rén zhè shí hòu ， zì rán bù néng zài yī páng bù guǎn bù gù 。
现在狭路相逢，两女不愿意将他放过，广寒真人这时候，自然不能在一旁不管不顾。
Now they met on a narrow path. The two girls were unwilling to let him go, and Cold Moon Immortal could no longer remain indifferent at this moment.
fǒu zé ， lín xuān ruò zhēn bèi liǎng nǚ miè chú ， tā huí qù ， zěn me xiàng bǎi huā xiān zi jiāo dài ne ？
否则，林轩若真被两女灭除，他回去，怎么像百花仙子交代呢？
Otherwise, if Lin Xuan was truly eliminated by the two girls, how would he explain it back to Fairy Hundred Flowers?
bǎi huā xiān zi ， kě shì xīn yuè de shī fù ， yǔ guǎng hán zhēn rén ， nà yě shì duō nián de zhì jiāo hǎo yǒu le ， nán dé tuō fù yī jiàn shì ， tā zì rán yào jìn zhí jìn zé 。
百花仙子，可是新月的师傅，与广寒真人，那也是多年的至交好友了，难得托付一件事，他自然要尽职尽责。
Fairy Hundred Flowers was Mo's teacher, and she and Cold Moon Immortal had been close friends for many years. It was rare for her to entrust him with a task; he naturally had to do his best.
zhè hún shuǐ ， guǎng hán zhēn rén fēi tàng bù kě ， bié wú xuǎn zé ， rán ér bǎo shé bīng pò ， nǎ zhī dào zhōng jiān hái yǒu rú cǐ duō de qū zhé ， yī shí jiān ， dōu yǐ wéi zì jǐ ěr duǒ tīng cuò 。
这浑水，广寒真人非趟不可，别无选择，然而宝蛇冰魄，哪知道中间还有如此多的曲折，一时间，都以为自己耳朵听错。
Cold Moon Immortal could not avoid this muddied waters; there was no choice. But the Ice Soul Treasure Snake did not know about all these twists and turns, thinking she heard wrong at first.
guǎng hán zi zhè shì hé yì ， zhè jiàn shì qíng ， yǔ tā fēn háo guān xì yě wú ， zì jǐ jiě mèi yào jiào xùn lín xuān nà jiā huo ， tā pǎo chū lái gàn shén me ？
广寒子这是何意，这件事情，与他分毫关系也无，自己姐妹要教训林轩那家伙，他跑出来干什么？
What Cold Moon Immortal's intention was, it had nothing to do with him. His sisters wanted to discipline that guy Lin Xuan; why would he come out?
The main goal of the two was clearly to exchange treasures with Nailed Dragon Immortal. Everyone was very curious about what mysterious aspects the cosmetic box had.
However, despite their curiosity, no one wanted to complicate matters or offend such a fool as the True Demon Ancestor. The old monsters present would not do something so stupid.
Withdrawing for now meant a broad sky and vast sea. Nailed Dragon Immortal did not conflict with the Ice Soul Treasure Snake; after they achieved their goals, they prepared to leave.
Everything seemed to be winding down.
But the Ice Soul Treasure Snake stated that Lin Xuan had grievances against them both. Since fate brought them together here, it was natural that they needed to settle accounts.
Wasn't this a mistake?
All the old monsters were dumbfounded; saying they were as stunned as wooden statues would not be an exaggeration.
This matter caused more shock than when Lin Xuan met Cold Moon Immortal and the Green Peak Queen. In fact, it might even surpass them in severity.
One must know that if two people merely knew each other with a bit of acquaintance, despite significant differences in their status and power, such coincidental encounters were still possible.
But forming enmity was quite different.
For example, could a Spirit Flexible Period cultivator who just entered the immortal path possibly form an enmity with a late-stage One婴 (a term for advanced cultivators) cultivator?
This was clearly impossible.
To be frank, based on their current strength, there was no reason for them to form such an enmity.

Nailed Dragon Immortal said this with a reasonable tone. However, he had some degree of protection for Lin Xuan. Otherwise, earlier when the other party wanted to exchange treasures, he could have yielded; now that they were dealing with a mere One Spirit Divided cultivator, he could pretend not to see it.
This principle was clear to all the old monsters present.
They couldn't help but feel surprised and puzzled about Lin Xuan's relationship with Nailed Dragon Immortal. For his sake, Nailed Dragon Immortal risked offending two True Demon Ancestors.
However, they did not know that this was just the beginning.
"Haha, what Nailed Dragon Immortal said suits me perfectly. You want to cause trouble for others; this Loose Cloud Immortal has no say in it. But you cannot harm Brother Lin. Otherwise, ask me first."
Cold Moon Immortal's laughter echoed into their ears. Before leaving, Fairy Hundred Flowers had asked him to look after Lin Xuan and give him some benefits if possible.
They never expected to meet him here.
Originally, they wanted to reward this young man with some treasures but did not expect that he would refuse without hesitation.
Though he was puzzled, he naturally did not say much since the other party definitely did not want it.
He did not expect Lin Xuan to be so formidable; even the Ice Soul Treasure Snake had offended him before.
Now they met on a narrow path. The two girls were unwilling to let him go, and Cold Moon Immortal could no longer remain indifferent at this moment.
Otherwise, if Lin Xuan was truly eliminated by the two girls, how would he explain it back to Fairy Hundred Flowers?
Fairy Hundred Flowers was Mo's teacher, and she and Cold Moon Immortal had been close friends for many years. It was rare for her to entrust him with a task; he naturally had to do his best.
Cold Moon Immortal could not avoid this muddied waters; there was no choice. But the Ice Soul Treasure Snake did not know about all these twists and turns, thinking she heard wrong at first.
What Cold Moon Immortal's intention was, it had nothing to do with him. His sisters wanted to discipline that guy Lin Xuan; why would he come out?
