bsp; 见林轩言语客气，万晓真人这种八面玲珑的老怪物自然也不会失礼，两人虚与委蛇，表面上看，倒真与故友重逢差不多。
Seeing Lin Xuan's words as polite, the Elder Wanshao, this versatile old monster naturally wouldn't be rude either. The two of them engaged in a superficial exchange, appearing to be like long-lost friends meeting again.
hán xuān piàn kè ， lín xuān cái zhuǎn guò tóu lú ， wēi xiào de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ：“ páng biān zhè wèi ， xiǎng bì shì hēi fèng gǔ de xiǎo xiān zi le 。”
寒暄片刻，林轩才转过头颅，微笑的声音传入耳朵：“旁边这位，想必是黑凤谷的筱仙子了。”
After a brief greeting, Lin Xuan turned his head and smiled into the ear: "This lady beside you must be Xiao Fairy from Black Phoenix Valley."
hēi fèng gǔ ， tīng míng zì jiù zhī dào shì yāo zú de shì lì 。
黑凤谷，听名字就知道是妖族的势力。
Black Phoenix Valley was clearly an entity belonging to the妖族. Moreover, it had deep ties with the phoenix, the king of all birds.
ér qiě yǔ bǎi niǎo zhī wáng fèng huáng yǒu zhe qiān sī wàn lǚ de qiān chě 。
而且与百鸟之王凤凰有着千丝万缕的牵扯。
Of course, there was only one true phoenix in existence, and the top-grade cultivators in Black Phoenix Valley were no more than mid-transmigration stage.
dāng rán ， shēn wèi zhēn líng de fèng huáng zhǐ yǒu yí gè ， hēi fèng gǔ zuì dǐng jí de yāo xiū yě bù guò dù jié zhōng qī bà le 。
当然，身为真灵的凤凰只有一个，黑凤谷最顶级的妖修也不过渡劫中期罢了。
But even without merging with true phoenix essence flames, the Heavenly Phoenix bloodline was still quite formidable. Its strength far surpassed that of its peers by a wide margin.
dàn jí biàn méi yǒu róng hé zhēn líng zhī huǒ ， tiān fèng xuè mài yī jiù jí wéi bù sú ， shí lì yuǎn shèng tóng jiē cún zài xǔ duō 。
但即便没有融合真灵之火，天凤血脉依旧极为不俗，实力远胜同阶存在许多。
Thus, Black Phoenix Valley remained a major power in Naelong World, ranking second after all.
suǒ yǐ hēi fèng gǔ fàng yǎn nài lóng jiè ， yě yì zhí shì pái míng dì èr de páng rán dà wù 。
所以黑凤谷放眼鼐龙界，也一直是排名第二的庞然大物。
And there weren't just one or two transmigration period experts within the valley; it was a pair of sisters.
ér qiě gǔ zhōng de dù jié qī dà néng bù zhǐ yí gè 。
而且谷中的渡劫期大能不止一个。
The elder sister had mid-transmigration stage cultivation, while her younger sister was slightly weaker but still an early-stage transmigration period expert without doubt.
ér shì yī duì jiě mèi 。
而是一对姐妹。
At such high levels, every single one of them was well-known. Hence, Lin Xuan being able to recognize this woman at first glance wasn't particularly surprising.
jiě jiě yǒu dù jié zhōng qī de xiū wèi ， mèi mèi shāo xùn yī xiē ， dàn yě dù jié chū qī de dà néng wú yí 。
姐姐有渡劫中期的修为，妹妹稍逊一些，但也渡劫初期的大能无疑。
This lady wore a palace-style robe and appeared to be around twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old. She had a delicate brow and phoenix-like eyes, her appearance quite striking. Her figure was also extremely slender. However, there was an overwhelming aura of煞气 in her gaze.
ér shí lì dào le tā men zhè yàng de děng jí ， zì rán měi yí gè dōu hěn yǒu míng qì 。
而实力到了他们这样的等级，自然每一个都很有名气。
"I indeed come from Black Phoenix Valley, as expected, you are much younger than I imagined," Xiao Fairy's eyes flashed with a strange light before she spoke calmly.
gù ér lín xuān néng yī yǎn rèn chū yǎn qián de nǚ zǐ ， nà shì bàn diǎn yě bù xī qí 。
故而林轩能一眼认出眼前的女子，那是半点也不稀奇。
It wasn't surprising that this lady was shocked; the 'younger' she referred to wasn't about appearance. After all, there were many cultivators who looked like young men even at transmigration stage due to their cultivation techniques having anti-aging effects. The existence of a transmigration period cultivator resembling a youth wasn't particularly rare.
cǐ nǚ shēn chuān gōng zhuāng ， yī yǎn wàng qù ， dà yuē yǒu èr shí qī bā suì nián jì ， xiù méi fèng mù ， róng mào pǒ wèi yàn lì ， shēn cái yě xiū cháng yǐ jí ， rán ér méi yǔ zhī jiān ， què hán yǒu jí wéi nóng zhòng de shā qì 。
此女身穿宫装，一眼望去，大约有二十七八岁年纪，秀眉凤目，容貌颇为艳丽，身材也修长以极，然而眉宇之间，却含有极为浓重的煞气。
What shocked this lady was Lin Xuan's actual age. If it had been an ordinary cultivator, no one would have been able to tell from his appearance, but as a descendant of the Heavenly Phoenix and possessing dual divine powers including lightning and fire, she could discern the true bone age of a cultivator with her keen mind.
“ běn gōng què shí lái zì hēi fēng gǔ méi cuò ， lín dào yǒu kě bǐ xiǎo mèi xiǎng xiàng de yào nián qīng xǔ duō 。”
“本宫确实来自黑风谷没错，林道友可比小妹想象的要年轻许多。”
Of course, this wasn't particularly useful; she had just casually glanced at Lin Xuan. The result was shocking—this young man in front of her was only a few thousand years old.
xiǎo xiān zi yǎn zhōng shǎn guò yī lǚ yì sè， bù xián bù dàn de kāi kǒu le 。
筱仙子眼中闪过一缕异sè，不咸不淡的开口了。
Wasn't there something wrong? Xiao Fairy stared wide-eyed, almost thinking that her innate divine power might be malfunctioning.
yě nán guài cǐ nǚ jīng è ， tā suǒ shuō de nián qīng zì rán bú shì róng yán 。
也难怪此女惊愕，她所说的年轻自然不是容颜。
Although human cultivation speed far surpassed that of the妖族, it still wasn't this extreme; just a few thousand years and reaching the peak of Profound Origin stage was already quite remarkable. Transmigration—this was unprecedented in history, even the ancient Asura King's cultivation speed might not have been as extraordinary.
yào zhī dào ， gōng fǎ yǒu zhù yán xiào guǒ de suī rán yǐ nǚ zǐ jū duō ， dàn nán xiū shì yě bìng fēi méi yǒu 。
要知道，功法有驻颜效果的虽然以女子居多，但男修士也并非没有。
Could this young man really be so powerful?
dù jié qī cún zài xíng rú shào nián yě bù néng shuō xī qí dào jí chù 。
渡劫期存在形如少年也不能说稀奇到极处。
The eyes of the palace-dressed woman flashed with curiosity as she didn't retreat but instead showed a hint of interest. She wanted to test if Lin Xuan had genuine abilities.
ràng cǐ nǚ jīng è de shì lín xuān de zhēn shí nián líng 。
让此女惊愕的是林轩的真实年龄。
The妖族 revered strength, and given his apparent transmigration stage cultivation in just a few thousand years, this young man's talent was almost beyond description. While he couldn’t claim immortality, with time, he might become one of the three scattered immortals or even one of the three demon kings.
ruò shì yì bān de xiū xiān zhě zì rán bù kě néng kàn chū ， rán ér cǐ nǚ bù jǐn shì tiān fèng hòu yì ， hái shēn jù léi huǒ shuāng zhǒng shén tōng ， shēng yǒu huì ， néng gòu kàn chū xiū shì de zhēn shí gǔ líng 。
若是一般的修仙者自然不可能看出，然而此女不仅是天凤后裔，还身具雷火双种神通，生有慧，能够看出修士的真实骨龄。
Xiao Fairy had already made up her mind.
dāng rán ， zhè qí shí méi yǒu duō dà yòng chǔ ， gāng cái cǐ nǚ yě shì suí yì yī yǎn sǎo chū 。 jié guǒ ràng tā jīng è 。 yǎn qián de lín xiǎo zi bù guò jǐ qiān suì ér yǐ 。
当然，这其实没有多大用处，刚才此女也是随意一眼扫出。结果让她惊愕。眼前的林小子不过几千岁而已。
Although Elder Wanshao couldn't see anything different about Lin Xuan, his long-term cunning nature wouldn't show hostility first. His purpose was to gather intelligence; if Lin Xuan was just a facade, he would gladly replace him. But if Lin Xuan's strength was indeed formidable, he wasn’t averse to turning enemies into allies.
yǒu méi yǒu gǎo cuò ， xiǎo xiān zi chēng mù jié shé ， jī hū yǐ wéi shì zì jǐ de tiān fù shén tōng chū wèn tí le 。
有没有搞错，筱仙子瞠目结舌，几乎以为是自己的天赋神通出问题了。
He could attack or retreat as needed—his plans were well laid out.
suī rán rén lèi de xiū liàn sù dù yào yuǎn shèng yāo zú ， dàn yě méi yǒu zhè me lí pǔ ， qū qū jǐ qiān suì ér yǐ ， néng gòu xiū liàn dào dòng xuán qī dà chéng de jìng dì ， jiù yǐ jīng fēi cháng liǎo bù qǐ 。
虽然人类的修炼速度要远胜妖族，但也没有这么离谱，区区几千岁而已，能够修炼到洞玄期大成的境地，就已经非常了不起。
A transmigration period expert like a dragon only made an appearance when it pleased them; let alone the three of them coming from different sects and harboring their own intentions.
dù jié 。 zhè jiǎn zhí shì qián wú gǔ rén ， hòu wú lái zhě ， jiù suàn xī rì de ā xiū luó wáng ， yǒu méi yǒu zhè yàng lí pǔ de xiū xíng sù dù ， yě bù tài hǎo shuō 。
渡劫。这简直是前无古人，后无来者，就算昔rì的阿修罗王，有没有这样离谱的修行速度，也不太好说。
Seeing both parties unwilling to break ties with Lin Xuan, Old Monster Xue's expression was gloomy. He sneered and stepped forward: "Young man Lin, are you willing to fight me?"
zhè lín xiǎo zi ， zhēn yǒu zhè me qiáng me ？
这林小子，真有这么强么？
Was this fellow too direct? Lin Xuan found himself speechless.
gōng zhuāng nǚ zǐ yǎn zhōng yì máng shǎn shuò 。 bìng méi yǒu tuì suō ， fǎn ér liú lù chū jǐ fēn hào qí zhī sè， tā xiǎng shēn liàng yī xià lín xuān shì fǒu yǒu zhēn cái shí xué 。
宫装女子眼中异芒闪烁。并没有退缩，反而流露出几分好奇之sè，他想伸量一下林轩是否有真才实学。
"Friend, why go to such lengths. We had no grudges in the past and no enmity recently..." he said on the surface.
yāo zú jìng zhòng qiáng zhě ， ruò zì jǐ de gǎn yìng méi cuò ， tā jǐn huā le jǐ qiān nián jiù xiū liàn dào dù jié qī ， nà zhè xiǎo zi de tiān fèn jiǎn zhí nán yǐ yán shù 。
妖族敬重强者，若自己的感应没错，他仅花了几千年就修炼到渡劫期，那这小子的天分简直难以言述。
"But what if I let you off if you give up your Cloud Concealment Sect's top ranking in Naelong World? That wouldn't be impossible," Old Monster Xue snarled, having no qualms now that he had broken their facade. After all, he didn’t believe a mere early-stage transmigration period cultivator could be this powerful; it was probably just hearsay.
chéng xiān bù gǎn shuō ， dàn jiǎ yǐ shí rì， yě xǔ huì chéng wéi sān dà sàn xiān 。 huò sān dà yāo wáng nà yàng de qiáng zhě 。
成仙不敢说，但假以时rì，也许会成为三大散仙。或三大妖王那样的强者。
But his luck ran out here. Lin Xuan naturally couldn't comply with such demands. While he didn't care about titles and reputation, the sect and family were of great benefit to him. And Lin Xuan’s nature wouldn’t allow anyone to bully him. Old Monster Xue might be formidable, but he wasn’t in his eyes.
hēi fèng yāo nǚ xīn zhōng yǐ yǒu zì jǐ de dǎ suàn le 。
黑凤妖女心中已有自己的打算了。
"Friend's request is too much," Lin Xuan said coldly. By now, there was no need for him to give the other party a good face.
ér wàn xiǎo zhēn rén suī rán kàn bù chū lín xuān de yǔ zhòng bù tóng zhī chù 。 dàn yǐ qí lǎo jiān jù huá de xìng gé ， yě bú huì shuài xiān biǎo lù chū dí yì lái de 。
而万晓真人虽然看不出林轩的与众不同之处。但以其老jiān巨猾的xìng格，也不会率先表露出敌意来的。
"Then you disagree?" Old Monster Xue's laughter echoed as an overwhelming妖气 surged from his body.
tā lái zhè lǐ de mù dì 。 běn jiù shì dǎ tàn xū shí ， ruò lín xuān jǐn jǐn shì xū yǒu qí biǎo ， zì rán bù jiè yì jiāng qí qǔ ér dài zhī ， xiǎo xiǎo de yún yǐn zōng ， nǎ ér zī gé zài tā men tóu shàng zuò wēi zuò fú ， dàn ruò shì lín xuān de shí lì dàng zhēn bù sú ， tā yě bù jiè yì yǔ qí huà dí wéi yǒu 。
他来这里的目的。本就是打探虚实，若林轩仅仅是虚有其表，自然不介意将其取而代之，小小的云隐宗，哪儿资格在他们头上作威作福，但若是林轩的实力当真不俗，他也不介意与其化敌为友。
The already chaotic primordial energy in the area became even more turbulent. A massive black vortex appeared before their eyes.
jìn kě gōng ， tuì kě shǒu ， tā de rú yì suàn pán ， kě shì dǎ dé fēi cháng shùn liū 。
进可攻，退可守，他的如意算盘，可是打得非常顺溜。
"Hmph, how imposing and how terrifying."
dù jié qī lǎo guài shén lóng jiàn shǒu bù jiàn wěi ， gèng bú yào shuō ， tā men sān gè rén ， shì lái zì bù tóng de mén pài ， bǐ cǐ zhī jiān ， zì rán shì gè huái guǐ tāi 。
渡劫期老怪神龙见首不见尾，更不要说，他们三个人，是来自不同的门派，彼此之间，自然是各怀鬼胎。
Such an anomaly would likely have caused a sudden change of demeanor for most cultivators, causing them to retreat in fear. But it wasn’t particularly impressive to Lin Xuan.
jiàn liǎng rén dōu bù yuàn yǔ lín xuān fān liǎn ， nà xuē lǎo yāo de biǎo qíng mǎn shì yīn mái 。
见两人都不愿与林轩翻脸，那薛老妖的表情满是yīn霾。
Looks like I’ve been too low-key.
lěng xiào yī shēng ， tà bù shàng qián ：“ lín xiǎo zi ， nǐ kě gǎn yǔ wǒ yī zhàn 。”
冷笑一声，踏步上前：“林小子，你可敢与我一战。”
Lin Xuan’s lips curled into a mocking smile; he hadn’t been so underestimated for a long time. Well, let him test out his newly acquired divine power.
zhè wèi shì bú shì yě tài guò zhí jiē le yì diǎn ， lín xuān yǒu xiē wú yán 。
这位是不是也太过直接了一点，林轩有些无言。
"Junior Brother."
xīn zhōng rú cǐ xiǎng zhe ， biǎo miàn shàng ， lín xuān què fēn háo yì sè bù lù ：“ xuē dào yǒu zhè shì hé kǔ ， nǐ wǒ wǎng rì wú yuàn ， jìn rì wú chóu ……”
心中如此想着，表面上，林轩却分毫异sè不露：“薛道友这是何苦，你我往rì无怨，近rì无仇……”
At this moment, the silver-eyed girl and the dragon-named youth also flew nearby, their faces showing some concern.
“ wú yuān wú chóu yòu rú hé ， nǐ ruò yuàn yì jiāng yún yǐn zōng nài lóng jiè pái míng dì yī de míng tóu ràng chū ， ràng běn lǎo zǔ jiāng nǐ fàng guò ， yě bú shì bù kě 。” xuē lǎo yāo níng xiào zhe shuō ， jì rán sī pò liǎn pí ， zhè jiā huo shuō huà yě jiù méi yǒu le gù jì 。
“无冤无仇又如何，你若愿意将云隐宗鼐龙界排名第一的名头让出，让本老祖将你放过，也不是不可。”薛老妖狞笑着说，既然撕破脸皮，这家伙说话也就没有了顾忌。
As the saying goes, a man’s name casts a shadow. Although they knew Lin Junior Brother had formidable abilities, Old Monster Xue’s reputation in Naelong World was well-established for over a million years.
hé kuàng tā zhēn bù xiāng xìn qū qū yī dù jié chū qī de xiū xiān zhě ， néng lì hài dào rú cǐ dì bù ， duō bàn shì yǐ é chuán é ， dàn tā de hǎo yùn dào cǐ wéi zhǐ le 。
何况他真不相信区区一渡劫初期的修仙者，能厉害到如此地步，多半是以讹传讹，但他的好运到此为止了。
The lifespan of the妖族 was much longer than that of humans at the same stage. This Old Monster Xue couldn’t compare to the great powers like Naelong Immortal, but legends said he had lived two million years.
zhè yàng de yāo qiú ， lín xuān zì rán bù kě néng zhào zuò ， suī rán xū míng shén me de ， tā bù zài hū ， rán ér duì yú zōng mén jiā zú ， què yǒu jí dà de hǎo chù 。
这样的要求，林轩自然不可能照做，虽然虚名什么的，他不在乎，然而对于宗门家族，却有极大的好处。
Mid-transmigration stage meant unparalleled strength.
ér lín xuān de xìng gé ， yòu zěn me kě néng rèn rén qī rǔ ， xuē lǎo yāo ， shí lì gù rán bù sú ， dàn hái bù fàng zài zì jǐ yǎn zhōng 。
而林轩的xìng格，又怎么可能任人欺辱，薛老妖，实力固然不俗，但还不放在自己眼中。
"Relax!"
“ dào yǒu de yāo qiú ， bù xián tài guò fèn le me ？” lín xuān lěng lěng de shuō ， dào le cǐ kè ， tā zì rán yě méi yǒu bì yào gěi duì fāng hǎo liǎn sè。
“道友的要求，不嫌太过分了么？”林轩冷冷的说，到了此刻，他自然也没有必要给对方好脸sè。
Lin Xuan’s lips curled into a smile as his body was enveloped in a burst of spiritual light and flew towards the sky. Although this wasn’t Cloud Concealment Sect's main base, it was only about ten thousand miles away. Transmigration period combat had immense destructive power; being too close would be risky, so Lin Xuan chose to fly up.
“ zhè me shuō ， dào yǒu shì bù tóng yì le 。” xuē lǎo yāo dà xiào de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ lǐ ， hún shēn shàng xià ， gèng shì yǒu jīng rén de yāo qì chōng tiān ér qǐ 。
“这么说，道友是不同意了。”薛老妖大笑的声音传入耳朵里，浑身上下，更是有惊人的妖气冲天而起。
"Friend, are you daring enough to come up?" Lin Xuan’s voice came from the clouds.
yī shí jiān ， yuán běn jiù hěn hùn luàn de tiān dì yuán qì ， biàn dé kuáng bào yǐ jí ， yí gè jù dà de hēi sè xuán wō ， chū xiàn zài le shì xiàn lǐ 。
一时间，原本就很混乱的天地元气，变得狂暴以及，一个巨大的黑sè旋涡，出现在了视线里。
"Why not."
“ hēng ， hǎo wēi fēng ， hǎo shā qì 。”
“哼，好威风，好煞气。”
Unlike his two companions, Old Monster Xue was extremely irritable. But this move by Lin Xuan stirred a sense of valor in him. He surged with妖wind and flew towards the ninth heaven like a bird.
rú cǐ yì xiàng ， ruò shì yì bān de xiū xiān zhě ， kǒng pà zǎo jiù bó rán biàn sè， zhī nán ér tuì le ， rán ér luò zài lín xuān de yǎn lǐ ， què yě bìng bù suàn rú hé liǎo de 。
如此异象，若是一般的修仙者，恐怕早就勃然变sè，知难而退了，然而落在林轩的眼里，却也并不算如何了得。
Soon, he arrived more than a thousand feet away from Lin Xuan, standing face to face at a distance.
kàn lái zì jǐ zhēn shì tài dī diào le 。
看来自己真是太低调了。

Seeing Lin Xuan's words as polite, the Elder Wanshao, this versatile old monster naturally wouldn't be rude either. The two of them engaged in a superficial exchange, appearing to be like long-lost friends meeting again.
After a brief greeting, Lin Xuan turned his head and smiled into the ear: "This lady beside you must be Xiao Fairy from Black Phoenix Valley."
Black Phoenix Valley was clearly an entity belonging to the妖族. Moreover, it had deep ties with the phoenix, the king of all birds.
