陆盈儿也就罢了,其他的红绫,石仙子。人可都是见多识广的修仙者,然而眼前的一幕,以前别说见了,听都不曾听说。
Lu Ying'er was one thing, but the others like Hong Ling and Shi Fairy were all experienced cultivators. Yet what they saw before them was something entirely beyond their comprehension.
nǎ ér yǒu tài shàng zhǎng lǎo huí zì jiā zōng mén de zǒng duò , què jiàn zhè zhǒng shì de 。
哪儿有太上长老回自家宗门的总舵,却见这种事的。
"Where have we heard of a Senior Elder returning to his sect's main hall only to see such a scene?" Lin Xuan's expression was icy cold. Even with his vast experience, this sort of thing had never happened to him either.
shuō fěi yí suǒ sī , dōu bù wèi guò 。
说匪夷所思,都不为过。
What kind of calamity did the Cloud Concealment Sect encounter? Were these guys enemies?
lín xuān de biǎo qíng yīn hán yǐ jí , tóng yàng shì yún lǐ wù lǐ , yǐ tā guò wǎng xiū xiān jīng yàn zhī fēng fù , zhè zhǒng shì qíng , tóng yàng : tóu yī zāo de 。
林轩的表情阴寒以极,同样是云里雾里,以他过往修仙经验之丰富,这种事情,同样:头一遭的。
But even if they were enemies, attacking without discrimination was too absurd. Wouldn't they be afraid of hitting the wrong target?
yún yǐn zōng jiū jìng yù jiàn le shén me biàn gù , zhè xiē jiā huo nán dào shì dí rén me ?
云隐宗究竟遇见了什么变故,这些家伙难道是敌人么?
Thoughts raced through Lin Xuan's mind as he remained both shocked and angry but still acted with great caution.
dàn jiù suàn shì dí rén , bù fēn qīng hóng zào bái jiù gōng jī , miǎn yě tài lí pǔ 。
但就算是敌人,不分青红皂白就攻击,免也太离谱。
He didn't rashly strike; at least, he needed to understand what had happened first.
tā men nán dào jiù bù pà dǎ cuò ?
他们难道就不怕打错?
Lin Xuan didn't want to harm any innocents. After all, this was Cloud Concealment! He had to be careful in the main hall.
zhū bān niàn tou zài nǎo hǎi zhōng shǎn guò , lín xuān xīn zhōng yòu jīng nù , dàn xià shǒu yī jiù shì jí yǒu fēn cùn de 。
诸般念头在脑海中闪过,林轩心中又惊怒,但下手依旧是极有分寸的。
Thus, Lin Xuan swept his sleeve and a streak of green light shot out.
tā bìng méi yǒu mào rán dòng shǒu 。
他并没有冒然动手。
Emerging from behind the curtain, the green light stopped before the Spirit Boat, spinning around as emerald-green spiritual light flowed. A giant fishing net appeared before it, enveloping the entire Spirit Boat.
zhì shǎo yào xiān nòng qīng chǔ shì qíng de shǐ mò 。
至少要先弄清楚事情的始末。
"Bang! Bang! Bang!" The impact sounds echoed once again.
lín xuān kě bù xiǎng cuò shāng wú gū , bì jìng zhè lǐ shì yún yǐn ! zǒng duò , tā xíng shì zì rán yào xiǎo xīn yī èr de 。
林轩可不想错伤无辜,毕竟这里是云隐!总舵,他行事自然要小心一二的。
An unbelievable scene unfolded; not only did none of their treasures or spirit artifacts break through this defense but were instead wrapped by the fishing net. Green threads shot out, binding these treasures tightly.
yú shì lín xuān xiù páo yī fú , yī dào qīng xiá fēi lüè ér chū c
于是林轩袖袍一拂,一道青霞飞掠而出c
The owners of these treasures naturally felt both anger and shock as they frantically cast spells, but to no avail. No matter how hard they struggled, those threads wouldn't break, so they couldn't escape either.
fēi chū guāng mù hòu , nà qīng xiá tíng zài le líng zhōu de miàn qián , dī liū liū yī zhuǎn , qīng cuì bì lǜ de líng guāng liú zhuǎn , yī zhāng jù èr de yú wǎng fú xiàn zài le miàn qián 。
飞出光幕后,那青霞停在了灵舟的面前,滴溜溜一转,青翠碧绿的灵光流转,一张巨二的渔网浮现在了面前。
A master can tell at a glance; Hong Ling and Shi Fairy were delighted by Lin Xuan's skill, admiring his ability to turn danger into safety with just one strike. Not many could do that.
jiāng zhěng gè líng zhōu dōu bāo guǒ zài qí jiān 。
将整个灵舟都包裹在其间。
Surely, an old ancestor of the Tribulation Transcending period lived up to its reputation.
“ pū pū pū 。” zhuàng jī shēng zài yí cì chuán rù ěr duǒ 。
“噗噗噗。”撞击声再一次传入耳朵。
All these treasures had been trapped by Lin Xuan's spell. The cultivators hiding nearby were helpless and could only exchange glances.
bù kě sī yì de yí mù fā shēng le , suǒ yǒu de fǎ bǎo yě hǎo , líng qì yě bà , bù jǐn méi yǒu jiāng yǎn qián de fáng yù gōng pò fǎn ér bèi nà yú wǎng gěi bāo guǒ 。
不可思议的一幕发生了,所有的法宝也好,灵器也罢,不仅没有将眼前的防御攻破反而被那渔网给包裹。
The process seemed complex but took mere moments. Seeing the crisis resolved, Lin Xuan released his divine consciousness.
yī dào dào bì lǜ de sī xiàn pēn chū , jiāng zhè xiē fǎ bǎo líng jǐn jiē chán zhù 。
一道道碧绿的丝线喷出,将这些法宝灵尽皆缠住。
A massive divine will swept across the undulating mountains, easily detecting even the slightest movement of leaves or ants. However, Lin Xuan's expression grew strange, even a bit awkward.
zhè xiē bǎo wù de zhǔ rén zì rán shì jīng nù jiāo jí , máng shāo qiā jué bù yǐ , rán ér méi yǒu yòng tú , rèn píng tā men de bǎo bèi , chōng yòu tū , dōu wú fǎ jiāng nà sī xiàn chě pò , zì rán yě jiù bù tuō kùn ér chū 。
这些宝物的主人自然是惊怒交集,忙捎掐诀不已,然而没有用途,任凭他们的宝贝,冲右突,都无法将那丝线扯破,自然也就不脱困而出。
He had assumed that something had happened to Cloud Concealment Sect, but those hidden cultivators were clearly fellow sect members by their attire.
háng jia yī shēn shǒu , jiù zhī yǒu méi yǒu , hóng líng , shí xiān děng rén kàn dé xīn kuàng shén yí , duì lín xuān pèi fú bù yǐ 。
行家一伸手,就知有没有,红绫,石仙等人看得心旷神怡,对林轩佩服不已。
"Wh-what?"
suí shǒu yī jī , jiù huà xiǎn wéi yí , zhè kě bú shì rèn hé dōu néng gòu zuò dào dì 。
随手一击,就化险为夷,这可不是任何都能够做到地。
Lin Xuan was surprised and angry. Regardless of the reason, as an old ancestor of the Tribulation Transcending period and Senior Elder of Cloud Sect, being attacked by his own disciples in the main hall would surely make him a laughingstock if it became known.
dù jié qī lǎo zǔ , guǒ rán shèng míng wú xū 。
渡劫期老祖,果然盛名无虚。
Although Lin Xuan wasn't overly concerned with reputation, he couldn’t help but feel angry at this possibility.
suǒ yǒu de bǎo wù , jiē bèi lín xuān shī fǎ kùn zhù , nà xiē nì zài yī páng de xiū xiān zhě , shù shǒu wú cè zhī yú , yě zhǐ néng miàn xiàng qù 。
所有的宝物,皆被林轩施法困住,那些匿在一旁的修仙者,束手无策之余,也只能面相觑。
With that thought, Lin Xuan no longer hesitated. His spiritual light flashed as he approached the Spirit Boat and took a deep breath. A terrifying spiritual pressure emanated from him.
zhěng gè guò chéng shuō lái fán fù , qí shí bù guò shùn xī de gōng fu , lín xuān yǎn kàn yǐ jiāng wēi jī jiě chú , zhè cái jiāng shén shí yī ér chū 。
整个过程说来繁复,其实不过瞬息的功夫,林轩眼看已将危机解除,这才将神识一而出。
Boom!
dùn shí yī gǔ páng dà de shén niàn zhī lì , zài qǐ fú de qún , jiān yī sǎo ér guò , bié shuō yǐn nì zài qí zhōng de xiū xiān zhě , biàn : fēi huā luò yè , mǎ yǐ de pá dòng , yě xiū xiǎng mán guò tā de ěr mù 。
顿时一股庞大的神念之力,在起伏的群,间一扫而过,别说隐匿在其中的修仙者,便:飞花落叶,蚂蚁的爬动,也休想瞒过他的耳目。
The sound of explosion echoed, making the entire space resemble ripples on a disturbed lake. The sheer force of this spiritual pressure was astonishing.
rán ér lín xuān liǎn shàng de biǎo qíng què biàn dé yǒu xiē gǔ guài qǐ le 。
然而林轩脸上的表情却变得有些古怪起了。
But despite his anger, Lin Xuan's actions were still cautious. This spiritual pressure was formidable but didn't contain any destructive power.
shèn zhì yǒu jǐ fēn gān gà zhī sè 。
甚至有几分尴尬之色。
Nonetheless, those under its influence felt no better. Nearby mountains were surrounded by layers of restrictions behind which over a thousand cultivators hid.
yuán běn tā yǐ wéi yún yǐn zōng chū le shén me biàn gù , kě nà ) yǐn nì zài yī páng de xiū xiān zhě , zì jǐ suī bù rèn de , dàn fú dǎ bàn , míng xiǎn shì běn zōng dì zǐ méi cuò 。
原本他以为云隐宗出了什么变故,可那)隐匿在一旁的修仙者,自己虽不认得,但服打扮,明显是本宗弟子没错。
These cultivators ranged in level, with the lowest being at the Condensation Core stage. The leaders were two high-ranking cultivators at the Profound Origin realm—one an elderly man with a refined appearance and another a strangely ugly black-faced man.
“ zhè ……。”
“这……。”
With their treasures trapped by Lin Xuan's spell, these two didn't react much. They stood in shock, whispering to each other.
lín xuān chà yì zhī yú , xīn zhōng yě yǒng qǐ yī gǔ nù yì , jìng bù guǎn yuán yīn shì shén me , zì jǐ táng táng dù jié qī lǎo zǔ , yún zōng tài shàng zhǎng lǎo , jū rán huì zài běn mén zǒng duò , bèi mén xià dì gōng jī , zhè yàng de shì , yí dàn chuán chū , fēi chéng wéi zhěng gè xiū jiè de xiào bǐng bù kě 。
林轩诧异之余,心中也涌起一股怒意,竟不管原因是什么,自己堂堂渡劫期老祖,云宗太上长老,居然会在本门总舵,被门下弟攻击,这样的事,一旦传出,非成为整个修界的笑柄不可。
"Cloud Brother, what kind of person is this? He just struck us and took the treasures of over a thousand disciples. Even if the two Senior Elders from our sect were to intervene, they wouldn’t have such power," said the ugly-faced cultivator with shock on his face.
lín xuān suī rán bú shì shén me zài hū xū míng de rén wù , dàn xiǎng dào zhè zhǒng kě néng xìng , liǎn sè zì rán yě bù zěn me kě néng mā de 。
林轩虽然不是什么在乎虚名的人物,但想到这种可能性,脸色自然也不怎么可能妈的。
"You ask me, but I don't know either," retorted the elderly man with an annoyed tone. His eyes showed fear as well.
niàn jí zhì cǐ , lín xuān bù zài chí yí 。
念及至此,林轩不再迟疑。
"Even though Nael Dragon Realm is vast and has many sects and families, Sword Lake Palace ranks among the top five. We might not recognize some old monsters within our sect, so it's not that surprising." After a moment’s thought, the elderly man continued.
hún shēn líng guāng yī shǎn , yǐ lái dào le líng zhōu de qián miàn , hòu shēn shēn hū xī , yī gǔ lìng rén xīn jì de páng dà líng yā yóu tā shàng shì fàng chū qù 。
浑身灵光一闪,已来到了灵舟的前面,后深深呼吸,一股令人心悸的庞大灵压由他上释放出去。
"Cloud Brother makes sense. But what should we do now?"
hōng !
轰!
The black-faced man agreed but before he could finish speaking, Lin Xuan had already acted.
bào liè shēng dà zuò , zhěng gè xū kōng fǎng fú biàn chéng le bèi fēng zhòu de xiǎo hú , yī quān yī quān de bō wén dàng yàng ér chū 。
爆裂声大做,整个虚空仿佛变成了被风皱的小湖,一圈一圈的波纹荡漾而出。
A massive spiritual pressure descended from the sky without any warning. The two standing there couldn’t hold their ground and fell to the ground in a heap. Simultaneously, sounds of impact echoed as over a thousand other cultivators also lost balance.
guāng shì líng yā jiù néng dá dào rú cǐ dì bù , jiǎn zhí kě yǐ shì jīng shì hài sú 。
光是灵压就能达到如此地步,简直可以是惊世骇俗。
The two were shocked and alarmed. They were among the highest-level cultivators here; if they could barely stand, how much worse would it be for others?
bù guò lín xuān nù guī nù , xià shǒu què shì jí yǒu fēn cùn de , zhè dào líng yā wēi lì gù rán kě bù , dàn bìng méi yǒu yùn hán shén me jī de xiào guǒ 。
不过林轩怒归怒,下手却是极有分寸的,这道灵压威力固然可怖,但并没有蕴含什么击的效果。
But as they looked around, their expressions changed to one of surprise and joy. While everyone else fell in a heap, no one was injured or even killed.
bù guò bèi tā suǒ lǒng zhào de xiū xiān zhě , yí gè èr gè , jué yě bú huì hǎo guò 。
不过被它所笼罩的修仙者,一个二个,觉也不会好过。
How was that possible?
cǐ shí fù jìn de qún shān , bèi céng céng de jìn zhì suǒ bāo guǒ ér zài jìn zhì hòu miàn , zé yǐn cáng zhe qiān yú míng xiū xiān zhě 。
此时附近的群山,被层层的禁制所包裹而在禁制后面,则隐藏着千余名修仙者。
Both faces showed disbelief. Could the opponent's control over divine will have reached such precision? Higher-level cultivators felt more pressure while lower-level disciples felt less. Regardless of their cultivation level, the outcome would be the same.
zhè xiē xiū shì jìng jiè bù yī , dàn zuì dī de yě yǒu níng dān qī , lǐng tóu de liǎng gè , gèng shì dòng xuán jí bié de gāo jiē xiū xiān zhě 。
这些修士境界不一,但最低的也有凝丹期,领头的两个,更是洞玄级别的高阶修仙者。
If so, this person’s divine consciousness must be terrifying.
yí gè shì xiān fēng dào gǔ de lǎo zhě , lìng wài yí gè , zé xiàng mào qí chǒu de hēi liǎn nán zi 。
一个是仙风道骨的老者,另外一个,则相貌奇丑的黑脸男子。
The gap between them and the other was like that between ants. If the opponent truly wanted to eliminate everyone here, it wouldn’t take much effort.
fǎ bǎo bèi lín xuān shī fǎ kùn zhù , zhè liǎng rén yě méi yǒu lì shén me , cǐ shí zhèng mǎn liǎn hài rán de còu zài yì qǐ dí gū 。
法宝被林轩施法困住,这两人也没有例什么,此时正满脸骇然的凑在一起嘀咕。
But why did he hold back?
“ yún xiōng , zhè rén shén me lái lù , yī chū shǒu , jiù jiāng wǒ , hái yǒu shàng qiān dì zǐ de bǎo wù shōu qǔ , jiù suàn shì mén zhōng liǎng wèi tài shàng zhǎng lǎo chū shǒu , yě jué bú huì yǒu zhè bān wēi shì de 。” nà xiàng mào qí chǒu de xiū shì mǎn liǎn hài rán zhī sè , yǒu bù kě sī yì de kāi kǒu 。
“云兄,这人什么来路,一出手,就将我,还有上千弟子的宝物收取,就算是门中两位太上长老出手,也绝不会有这般威势的。”那相貌奇丑的修士满脸骇然之色,有不可思议的开口。
Both were puzzled by his actions.
“ nǐ wèn wǒ , wǒ yòu nǎ lǐ xiǎo de ?” nà xiān fēng dào de lǎo zhě méi hǎo qì de shuō , tā de yǎn zhōng , tóng yàng liú lù chū , fēn wèi jù zhī sè 。
“你问我,我又哪里晓得?”那仙风道的老者没好气的说,他的眼中,同样流露出,分畏惧之色。
Beside them, a thin, black-faced man in his thirties frowned deeply, showing signs of deep thought.
“ nài lóng jiè suī miàn jī guǎng bó , zōng mén jiā zú shù liàng zhòng duō , rán ér jiàn hú gōng kě shì pái míng qián wǔ de páng rán dà wù , shǒu rú yún , zōng nèi yǒu wǒ men bù rèn shí de lǎo guài wù yě méi yǒu me hǎo xī qí de 。” lüè yī sī suǒ , lǎo zhě yòu rú cǐ zhè bān kāi kǒu le 。
“鼐龙界虽面积广博,宗门家族数量众多,然而剑湖宫可是排名前五的庞然大物,手如云,宗内有我们不认识的老怪物也没有么好稀奇的。”略一思索,老者又如此这般开口了。
"Junior Apprentice Liao, what are you thinking?"
“ yún xiōng yán zhī yǒu lǐ , rán ér yǎn qián wǒ men gāi zěn me ne ?”
“云兄言之有理,然而眼前我们该怎么呢?”
The elderly man with the refined appearance noticed Liao’s expression and naturally asked.
nà hēi liǎn nán zi dà gǎn zàn tóng de shuō , rán ér huà yīn wèi luò , lín xuān què yǐ dòng shǒu le 。
那黑脸男子大感赞同的说,然而话音未落,林轩却已动手了。
"I think this person looks familiar. I've seen him somewhere," said Liao as he raised his head slowly.
yī gǔ páng dà dào wú fǎ yòng yán yǔ xíng róng de líng yā cóng tiān ( luò 。
一股庞大到无法用言语形容的灵压从天(落。
"What? You met this old monster before?"
shì xiān bàn fēn zhēng zhào yě wú , méi yǒu dī fáng de qíng kuàng xià liǎng rén zhàn lì bú zhù , shuāi le gè sì yǎng bā chā , tóng shí , pū sān pū tōng zhī shēng bù jué yú ěr duǒ , qí tā qiān yú míng xiū xiān zhě de kuàng yě xiāng chà fǎng fú 。
事先半分征兆也无,没有提防的情况下两人站立不住,摔了个四仰八叉,同时,扑三扑通之声不绝于耳朵,其他千余名修仙者的况也相差仿佛。
This statement caused everyone around to gasp in shock, all eyes fixed on Liao.
liǎng rén dà jīng shī sè 。
两人大惊失色。
"Right! I saw the image of this senior in our ancestor hall. Oh no, this senior is another Senior Elder from our sect," said Liao as he realized.
Lu Ying'er was one thing, but the others like Hong Ling and Shi Fairy were all experienced cultivators. Yet what they saw before them was something entirely beyond their comprehension.
"Where have we heard of a Senior Elder returning to his sect's main hall only to see such a scene?" Lin Xuan's expression was icy cold. Even with his vast experience, this sort of thing had never happened to him either.
