rán ér jīng yà hái méi yǒu jié shù ， yòu yī yōng lǎn de shēng yīn chuán rù le ěr duǒ ：
然而惊讶还没有结束，又一慵懒的声音传入了耳朵：
However, the surprise was not yet over. Another lazy voice entered his ears:
“ bù cuò ， liǎng wèi cóng mó jiè lái dào zhè lǐ ， hū fēng huàn yǔ ， xiǎng yào jiāo huàn bǎo wù ， jiù jiāo huàn bǎo wù ， rú jīn yòu yào dāng zhe wǒ men de miàn ， qī fù yī xiǎo xiǎo de fēn shén qī xiū xiān zhě ， bǎo shé bīng pò ， nǐ men liǎng gè ， shì bú shì yě tài bù jiāng wǒ men zhè xiē líng jiè de xiū shì fàng yú yǎn lǐ le 。”
“不错，两位从魔界来到这里，呼风唤雨，想要交换宝物，就交换宝物，如今又要当着我们的面，欺负一小小的分神期修仙者，宝蛇冰魄，你们两个，是不是也太不将我们这些灵界的修士放于眼里了。”
"Indeed, you two came from the Demon Realm here to summon wind and rain, wanting to exchange treasures. Fine, but now you want to bully a mere Spirit Diversion cultivator in front of us. You two think we, these Spiritual Realm cultivators, are not worth considering?"
nà shēng yīn dòng tīng yǐ jí ， dài zhe jǐ fēn shuō bù chū de róu mèi zhī yì ， ràng rén tīng le ， jué de hún shēn shū fú ， rán ér bīng pò de liǎn sè ， què sà rán yīn chén xià lái le 。
那声音动听以极，带着几分说不出的柔媚之意，让人听了，觉得浑身舒服，然而冰魄的脸色，却飒然阴沉下来了。
The voice was incredibly pleasant, with an indescribable softness that made one feel comfortable throughout their body. However, Bīngpò's face turned grim.
yǒu méi yǒu gǎo cuò ， zì jǐ yào jiào xùn yī xiǎo jiā huo ， jū rán yǒu zhè me duō rén cóng zhōng zuò gěng me ？
有没有搞错，自己要教训一小家伙，居然有这么多人从中作梗么？
Had she misunderstood something? Why were so many people interfering when she just wanted to教训 a small guy?
xiān shì nài lóng zhēn rén yán yǔ wéi hù ， jiē zhe guǎng hán zi yǔ jiǔ wěi tiān hú yòu xiān hòu tiào chū lái le 。
先是鼐龙真人言语维护，接着广寒子与九尾天狐又先后跳出来了。
First, the True Demon Real Immortal spoke in her defense, then both the Cold Moon Subsidiary and the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox appeared one after another.
tā suī guì wèi zhēn mó shǐ zǔ ， dàn zhè sān rén de shí lì ， nà yě shì bù gǎn yǒu fēn háo qīng hū 。
她虽贵为真魔始祖，但这三人的实力，那也是不敢有分毫轻忽。
Although she was the True Primordial Demon, these three had formidable power that could not be underestimated. While she wasn't afraid of them, there was no need to fight unless absolutely necessary!
suī rán pà kěn dìng shì bù pà ， dàn rú wú bì yào ， yě bù xiǎng yǔ tā men sān gè dòng shǒu a ！
虽然怕肯定是不怕，但如无必要，也不想与他们三个动手啊！
But this situation truly seemed strange.
zhǐ shì cǐ shì hái zhēn de guài le 。
只是此事还真的怪了。
Why would three top-tier Great Beings in the Spiritual Realm bother protecting a mere Spirit Diversion cultivator?
yī xiǎo xiǎo de fēn shén qī xiū xiān zhě ， nǎ lǐ zhí de sān míng líng jiè zuì dǐng jí de dà néng lián shǒu wéi hù ？
一小小的分神期修仙者，哪里值得三名灵界最顶级的大能联手维护？
Could it be that this Lin youngster was involved with some great treasure?
nán dào zhè xìng lín de xiǎo jiā huo ， hái qiān chě dào shén me liǎo bù qǐ de bǎo wù ？
难道这姓林的小家伙，还牵扯到什么了不起的宝物？
Bīngpò's mind raced but she couldn't figure out the intricate details. She could only guess wildly.
bīng pò nǎo hǎi zhōng niàn tou jí zhuǎn ， dàn yī shí piàn kè ， yòu nǎ xiǎng dé tòu zhè zhōng jiān de qū zhé 。
冰魄脑海中念头急转，但一时片刻，又哪想得透这中间的曲折。
"Are you truly planning to protect this Lin youngster and oppose me, the True Primordial?" Bīngpò's unsavory voice entered her ears.
zhǐ néng zài nà lǐ hú luàn cāi cè 。
只能在那里胡乱猜测。
If it were someone else, such a threat would be effective, but Cold Moon Subsidiary and Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox wouldn't care.
“ nǐ men shì zhēn dǎ suàn yào wéi hù zhè xìng lín de xiǎo jiā huo ， yǔ běn shǐ zǔ zuò duì le ？” bīng pò bù shàn de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ 。
“你们是真打算要维护这姓林的小家伙，与本始祖作对了？”冰魄不善的声音传入耳朵。
Bīngpò was no one to fear, having faced her before. These beings avoided meaningless conflicts, but they didn't fear each other either.
tā zhè fān wēi shè ， ruò shì huàn yí gè rén ， nà zì rán shì hěn yǒu yòng tú ， rán ér guǎng hán zi yǔ jiǔ wěi tiān hú ， yòu zěn me huì zài hū 。
她这番威慑，若是换一个人，那自然是很有用途，然而广寒子与九尾天狐，又怎么会在乎。
Bīngpò and the Demon Serpent exchanged glances, their expressions grim.
bīng pò shǐ zǔ yòu rú hé ， yòu bú shì méi yǔ tā jiāo shǒu guò ， tā men zhè zhǒng děng jí de cún zài ， suī rán bì miǎn wú yì yì de jiāo shǒu ， dàn xiāng hù zhī jiān ， yě méi yǒu shuí hài pà shuí yī shuō 。
冰魄始祖又如何，又不是没与她交手过，他们这种等级的存在，虽然避免无意义的交手，但相互之间，也没有谁害怕谁一说。
They were unsure of what to do.
bīng pò bǎo shé duì shì yī yǎn ， biǎo qíng dōu hěn nán kàn 。
冰魄宝蛇对视一眼，表情都很难看。
If it were just Real Immortal Nàilóng, they might have managed to make him hesitate. But with both the Queen of Qingqi Kingdom and Cold Moon Subsidiary interfering, this was something they hadn't anticipated.
tā men yě yǒu diǎn bù zhī dào gāi zěn me bàn 。
她们也有点不知道该怎么办。
If they really had to fight, she and Bīngpò would only be two against them. Even though Tiānyuán was a Holy Ancestor, he might not be much help in such a high-level battle.
ruò jǐn jǐn shì nài lóng zhēn rén yí gè ， tā men hái yǒu bǎ wò ràng duì fāng tóu shǔ jì qì 。
若仅仅是鼐龙真人一个，她们还有把握让对方投鼠忌器。
In other words, they faced an overwhelming enemy.
dàn qīng qiū guó zhǔ yǔ guǎng hán zhēn rén jū rán qián lái jiǎo jú ， zhè zhǒng qíng kuàng què shì tā men wàn wàn bù céng yù xiǎng dào de 。
但青丘国主与广寒真人居然前来搅局，这种情况却是她们万万不曾预想到的。
Although falling wasn't inevitable, the chances of defeat were great.
ruò zhēn de dòng shǒu 。 tā yǔ bǎo shé zhǐ yǒu liǎng gè ， tiān yuán suī rán yě shì shèng zǔ ， dàn zài zhè zhǒng jí bié de dòu fǎ zhōng ， kǒng pà què nán yǐ qǐ dào shén me zuò yòng 。
若真的动手。她与宝蛇只有两个，天元虽然也是圣祖，但在这种级别的斗法中，恐怕却难以起到什么作用。
Thus, fighting wasn't a wise choice.
huàn jù huà shuō ， tā men miàn duì de xíng shì ， jiāng shì dí zhòng wǒ guǎ 。
换句话说，她们面对的形势，将是敌众我寡。
Should she just give up?
suī rán yǔn luò shì bù zhì yú ， dàn luò bài de kě néng xìng què shì jí dà 。
虽然陨落是不至于，但落败的可能性却是极大。
This seemed like a good path. But what would Bīngpò's face say to this?
huàn jù huà shuō ， dòng shǒu bú shì míng zhì de xuǎn zé 。
换句话说，动手不是明智的选择。
As a True Primordial Demon, retreating because of one word would be shameful even in the Demon Realm. She and Bīngpò wouldn't find any face to save.
nà jiù suàn le ？
那就算了？
A scholar could be killed but not humiliated!
zhè tiáo lù sì hū bù cuò 。 kě nǐ ràng bīng pò bǎo shé de liǎn 。 wǎng nǎ lǐ gē ？
这条路似乎不错。可你让冰魄宝蛇的脸。往哪里搁？
Moreover, they truly didn't want to let Lin Xuan go.
táng táng zhēn mó shǐ zǔ ， yīn wèi duì fāng de yī jù huà jiù tuì suō ， nǎ pà shì huí dào mó jiè 。 tā liǎ yě huì gǎn jué méi miàn zi dào jí chù 。
堂堂真魔始祖，因为对方的一句话就退缩，哪怕是回到魔界。她俩也会感觉没面子到极处。
What should they do?
shì kě shā bù kě rǔ ！
士可杀不可辱！
Cleverness backfired, leaving Bīngpò in a dilemma.
hé kuàng tā men shì zhēn bù xiǎng fàng guò lín xuān nà xiǎo jiā huo 。
何况她们是真不想放过林轩那小家伙。
She was at a loss—neither advancing nor retreating.
gāi zěn me bàn ne ？
该怎么办呢？
This time, she really had dug her own grave.
cōng míng fǎn bèi cōng míng wù ， yī shí zhī jiān ， bǎo shé bīng pò 。 yě shì xiàn rù le liǎng nán de xuǎn zé 。
聪明反被聪明误，一时之间，宝蛇冰魄。也是陷入了两难的选择。
"Are you two truly going to oppose the Holy Ancestor?" Bīngpò's face was extremely ugly. If there were no other choice, she wouldn't yield; she could just cause a commotion. The others couldn't keep them from leaving even if they relied on their numbers.
jìn yě bú shì ， tuì yě bú shì 。
进也不是，退也不是。
The Demon Serpent's expression mirrored hers. This woman didn't speak much and seemed to follow Bīngpò's every word.
zhè yī cì ， hái zhēn shì bān qǐ shí tou zá zì jǐ de jiǎo le 。
这一次，还真是搬起石头砸自己的脚了。
"Ha, it can't be said that you're opposing us. But two esteemed friends bullying a mere Spirit Diversion cultivator, isn't that too much?" Cold Moon Subsidiary spoke calmly.
“ nǐ men liǎng gè ， shì zhēn dǎ suàn yǔ běn shèng zǔ guò bù qù ？”
“你们两个，是真打算与本圣祖过不去？”
"Indeed, it's face-planting in front of our eyes. How could I not intervene?" The Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox's tone was equally calm. They now held the upper hand.
bīng pò de liǎn sè ， nán kàn yǐ jí ， ruò zhēn shì wú kě xuǎn zé ， tā bú huì qū fú ， dà bù liǎo dà nào yī cháng bà le ， fǎn zhèng duì fāng jí shǐ zhàng zhe rén duō shì zhòng 。 néng gòu zhàn dào shàng fēng ， dàn yě jué bù kě néng jiāng zì jǐ liú xià de 。
冰魄的脸色，难看以极，若真是无可选择，她不会屈服，大不了大闹一场罢了，反正对方即使仗着人多势众。能够占到上风，但也绝不可能将自己留下的。
"You two are saying that the gap between Ice Serpent and Lin is too great, making a move seems inappropriate?"
bǎo shé de biǎo qíng yě chà bu duō ， cǐ nǚ dǎo shì yí gè bù xǐ huān shuō huà de rén wù ， kàn shàng qù ， jiù fǎng fú fán shì dōu wéi bīng pò mǎ shǒu shì zhān shì de 。
宝蛇的表情也差不多，此女倒是一个不喜欢说话的人物，看上去，就仿佛凡事都唯冰魄马首是瞻似的。
As the atmosphere grew tense, an unexpected voice entered their ears.
“ hēi ， tán bù shàng guò bù qù ， zhǐ shì liǎng wèi dào yǒu hé děng shēn fèn 。 què lián shǒu qī fù yī xiǎo xiǎo de fēn shén qī xiū xiān zhě ， liǎng wèi bù xián yǒu xiē tài guò fèn le me ？” guǎng hán zhēn rén dàn dàn de shuō 。
“嘿，谈不上过不去，只是两位道友何等身份。却联手欺负一小小的分神期修仙者，两位不嫌有些太过分了么？”广寒真人淡淡的说。
Not only did the Spiritual Realm cultivators show surprise, but Bīngpò and the Demon Serpent were also taken aback.
“ bù cuò ， dāng zhe wǒ men de miàn ， jiǎn zhí shì dǎ liǎn ， qiè shēn yòu rú hé néng gòu bù guǎn ？” jiǔ wěi tiān hú de yǔ qì 。 tóng yàng shì yún dàn fēng qīng yǐ jí ， rú jīn 。 tā men shì zhàn jù zhe zhǔ dòng dì 。
“不错，当着我们的面，简直是打脸，妾身又如何能够不管？”九尾天狐的语气。同样是云淡风轻以极，如今。他们是占据着主动地。
Holy Ancestor Tiānyuán.
“ liǎng wèi shì shuō ， bīng pò dà rén yǔ bǎo shé dà rén ， yǔ zhè lín xiǎo zi de shēn fèn xiāng chà tài guò xuán shū ， dòng shǒu yǒu yī xiē bù hé shì me ？”
“两位是说，冰魄大人与宝蛇大人，与这林小子的身份相差太过悬殊，动手有一些不合适么？”
It was this guy who had inserted himself.
yǎn kàn qì fēn yuè lái yuè níng zhì ， yī chū rén yì liào de shēng yīn què chuán rù ěr duǒ lǐ 。
眼看气氛越来越凝滞，一出人意料的声音却传入耳朵里。
To be honest, if it weren't for this situation, as a Transcendent Realm old monster, Tiānyuán would still look impressive. However, here on Penglai Immortal Island, there were over a hundred Transcendents, and the dispute involved True Demons and Holy Ancestors. A mere early-stage Transcendent was insignificant.
bù jǐn zài chǎng de líng jiè xiū shì liǎn lù yì wài zhī sè ， lián bǎo shé bīng pò liǎng rén ， yě xiāng gù è rán le 。
不仅在场的灵界修士脸露意外之色，连宝蛇冰魄两人，也相顾愕然了。
Tiānyuán had always acted as a servant, standing respectfully behind Bīngpò and the Demon Serpent.
tiān yuán shèng zǔ 。
天元圣祖。
Everyone was used to his silence, so this sudden opening made him stand out.
jū rán shì zhè jiā huo cóng páng chā zuǐ le 。
居然是这家伙从旁插嘴了。
Bīngpò was surprised but hesitated before deciding not to stop. While Tiānyuan was her subordinate, he was still a Holy Ancestor, and ordering him around felt inappropriate. Besides, she knew him well—shrewd enough that his sudden words must have been carefully considered.
píng xīn lái shuō ， rú guǒ huàn yí gè chǎng hé ， tiān yuán zuò wèi dù jié jí bié de lǎo guài wù ， hái shì shí fēn lā fēng de ， wèn tí shì ， cǐ shí cǐ kè ， zài péng lái xiān dǎo ， dù jié qī xiū shì jiù yǒu shàng bǎi gè ， qǐ zhēng zhí de yòu shì sàn xiān yāo wáng ， zhēn mó shǐ zǔ ， tiān yuán yī qū qū dù jié chū qī de gǔ mó ， jiù zhe shí suàn bù liǎo shén me 。
平心来说，如果换一个场合，天元做为渡劫级别的老怪物，还是十分拉风的，问题是，此时此刻，在蓬莱仙岛，渡劫期修士就有上百个，起争执的又是散仙妖王，真魔始祖，天元一区区渡劫初期的古魔，就着实算不了什么。
The situation was already dire; could Tiānyuan's intervention turn things around?
yì zhí yǐ lái ， tiān yuán yě biǎo xiàn dé xiàng yí gè pú cóng ， gōng gōng jìng jìng de zhàn zài bǎo shé bīng pò shēn hòu 。
一直以来，天元也表现得像一个仆从，恭恭敬敬的站在宝蛇冰魄身后。
Bīngpò didn't know but it couldn't hurt to try.
dà jiā yǐ xí guàn le tā de chén mò ， zhè tū rán kāi kǒu ， zì rán jiù yǒu yī xiē “ yì míng jīng rén ” de gǎn jué le 。
大家已习惯了他的沉默，这突然开口，自然就有一些“一鸣惊人”的感觉了。
"If you think Ice Serpent and the Demon Serpent are too different from Lin, making a move would be bullying. I'll take his place and fight him. You won't have any complaints."
bīng pò yě yǒu xiē yì wài ， dàn lüè yī chí yí ， tā bìng méi yǒu kāi kǒu zǔ zhǐ ， tiān yuán shì tā de shǒu xià méi cuò ， dàn hǎo dǎi yě shì shèng zǔ jí bié de ， hū lái hè qù jiù yǒu xiē bù tài hé shì le ， hé kuàng duì yú zhè shǒu xià ， tā yě liǎo jiě ， suàn shì pǒ yǒu xīn jī de rén wù ， tū rán zhè me shuō ， kěn dìng shì yǒu yī fān kǎo liáng de 。
冰魄也有些意外，但略一迟疑，她并没有开口阻止，天元是她的手下没错，但好歹也是圣祖级别的，呼来喝去就有些不太合适了，何况对于这手下，她也了解，算是颇有心机的人物，突然这么说，肯定是有一番考量的。
Tiānyuan's words were smooth, even when facing Cold Moon Subsidiary and the Queen of Qingqi Kingdom.
xiàn zài de jú miàn ， yǐ jīng gòu zāo gāo le ， tiān yuán tū rán kāi kǒu ， huì bú huì yǒu niǔ zhuǎn qián kūn de zuò yòng 。
现在的局面，已经够糟糕了，天元突然开口，会不会有扭转乾坤的作用。
"You're going to fight with Lin?" Cold Moon Subsidiary was taken aback before laughing: "Hmph, you've got a good plan. You might be a Holy Ancestor but you're still stronger than Lin. Fighting him isn't bullying?"
bīng pò bù xiǎo de ， dàn sǐ mǎ dàng zuò huó mǎ yī zǒng shì méi cuò 。
冰魄不晓得，但死马当做活马医总是没错。
Indeed, it wasn't surprising that Cold Moon Subsidiary said so. After all, he had never seen Lin Xuan's strength.
“ rú guǒ nǐ men shì jué de ， bīng pò yǔ bǎo shé dà rén yǔ lín xiǎo zi shí fēn xiāng chà xuán shū ， dòng shǒu de huà ， suàn yǐ dà qī xiǎo ， nà me wǒ lái dài tì liǎng wèi dà rén ， yǔ lín xiǎo zi yī zhàn ， gè wèi zǒng méi yǒu huà shuō 。”
“如果你们是觉得，冰魄与宝蛇大人与林小子十分相差悬殊，动手的话，算以大欺小，那么我来代替两位大人，与林小子一战，各位总没有话说。”
From a normal perspective, Transcendent Realm and Spirit Diversion were worlds apart. Having Lin Xuan fight Tiānyuán would surely push him to his limits.
tiān yuán yě dàng zhēn bù sú ， miàn duì guǎng hán zhēn rén yǔ qīng qiū guó zhǔ ， zhè fān huà ， yī jiù shuō dé shùn liū dào jí chù ， háo wú qiè ruò liú lù 。
天元也当真不俗，面对广寒真人与青丘国主，这番话，依旧说得顺溜到极处，毫无怯弱流露。
Just as she finished arguing, the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox unexpectedly spoke: "If Ice Serpent doesn't intervene, let you take on Lin, this idea seems fine."
“ nǐ yǔ lín xiǎo zi dòng shǒu ？”
“你与林小子动手？”
"Queen?" Cold Moon Subsidiary was shocked. The Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox must have gone mad; wasn't she trying to harm Lin Xuan? If he fell, she wouldn't be able to explain to the Hundred Flowers Immortal Fairy.
guǎng hán zhēn rén yī è ， suí hòu yǎ rán shī xiào qǐ lái le ：“ hēng ， gé xià dǎo shì hǎo suàn jì ， nǐ suī rán bú shì bǎo shé bīng pò ， dàn hǎo dǎi yě shì shèng zǔ jí bié de ， yǔ lín xiǎo zi jué dòu ， nán dào jiù bú shì yǐ dà qī xiǎo le ？”
广寒真人一愕，随后哑然失笑起来了：“哼，阁下倒是好算计，你虽然不是宝蛇冰魄，但好歹也是圣祖级别的，与林小子决斗，难道就不是以大欺小了？”
"Haha, don't worry, I have my reasons. Besides, this is about Lin Xuan. We should ask his opinion," the Queen of Qingqi Kingdom's voice entered their ears. In the Ice Sea Realm, she had seen Lin Xuan's strength. Even though it was trivial to them, it couldn't be measured by Spirit Diversion standards.
However, the surprise was not yet over. Another lazy voice entered his ears:
"Indeed, you two came from the Demon Realm here to summon wind and rain, wanting to exchange treasures. Fine, but now you want to bully a mere Spirit Diversion cultivator in front of us. You two think we, these Spiritual Realm cultivators, are not worth considering?"
The voice was incredibly pleasant, with an indescribable softness that made one feel comfortable throughout their body. However, Bīngpò's face turned grim.
