bsp; “什么，你是说那林小子，来到了符鬼门总舵？”宝蛇的表情一下子难看起来。レレ
"Wait, you're saying that Lin Xuan has returned to the main sect of the Talisman Ghost Sect?" Bao She's expression turned grim.
gāng cái tā jǐn jǐn shì cāi cè ， rán ér rú guǒ lín xuān zhēn zhè me kuài ， jiù chóng xīn jià lín fú guǐ mén zǒng duò ， nà tā de mù dì ， kě jiù zhí de zhēn zhuó ， kōng jiān jié diǎn shì zuì hǎo de jiě shì le 。
刚才她仅仅是猜测，然而如果林轩真这么快，就重新驾临符鬼门总舵，那他的目的，可就值得斟酌，空间节点是最好的解释了。
Just now, she had only guessed, but if Lin Xuan really came back so quickly, his purpose would be worth considering. The spatial node was the best explanation.
tā jū rán zhè me jí zhe ， xiǎng yào qián wǎng yīn sī dì fǔ ， bú yòng shuō ， xiū luó qī bǎo de mì mì ， tā kěn dìng yǐ jīng xīn lǐ yǒu shù 。
他居然这么急着，想要前往yīn司地府，不用说，修罗七宝的秘密，他肯定已经心里有数。
He seemed eager to head for Yīnshi Netherworld. Without a doubt, he must have already figured out the secrets of the Seven Treasures of Māsōu.
kě wù ， mò fēi zhè xiǎo zi yě yǔ bīng pò jiě jiě yì bān ， xiǎng yào huò dé ā xiū luó wáng de lì liàng me ？
可恶，莫非这小子也与冰魄姐姐一般，想要获得阿修罗王的力量么？
How detestable! Could this boy also want to obtain the power of King Māsōu like Ice Soul Sister?
bǎo shé jīng nù zhī yú ， zì rán shì duì lín xuān hèn zhī qiè gǔ 。
宝蛇惊怒之余，自然是对林轩恨之切骨。
Bao She was naturally filled with intense hatred for Lin Xuan. If she could, she would personally extract his soul and refine it.
rú guǒ kě yǐ ， tā xiǎng yào qīn shǒu jiāng zhè jiā huo chōu hún liàn pò 。
如果可以，她想要亲手将这家伙抽魂炼魄。
However, she had only come as a manifestation into the Spirit Realm.
rán ér tā lái dào líng jiè de jǐn jǐn shì yī jù huà shēn bà le 。
然而她来到灵界的仅仅是一具化身罢了。
Facing ordinary early-stage Transcender cultivators, perhaps she wouldn't fear, but this Lin Xuan couldn't be treated like any other. In the Lost Plane, even one of Ice Soul Sister's manifestations was destroyed by him. She asked herself, though both were True Demonic Ancestors, her power was still inferior to that of Ice Soul Sister.
duì shàng yì bān de dù jié chū qī de xiū xiān zhě ， huò xǔ bù jù ， dàn nà lín xiǎo zi ， kě bù néng chuāi zhī yǐ cháng lǐ . .
对上一般的渡劫初期的修仙者，或许不惧，但那林小子，可不能揣之以常理. .
If his sister's manifestation couldn't defeat him, she would surely die in a one-on-one fight with this boy.
dāng nián ， zài shī luò de jiè miàn ， lián bīng pò de yī jù huà shēn ， dōu bèi zhè lín xiǎo zi miè chú ， ér tā zì wèn ， suī tóng wèi zhēn mó shǐ zǔ ， dàn shí lì yǔ bīng pò xiāng bǐ ， hái shì yào xùn sè bù shǎo de 。
当年，在失落的界面，连冰魄的一具化身，都被这林小子灭除，而她自问，虽同为真魔始祖，但实力与冰魄相比，还是要逊sè不少的。
She didn't care about the loss of a single manifestation, but wouldn't waste her life for nothing.
lián jiě jiě de huà shēn dōu dǎ tā bù guò ， zì jǐ xiàn zài zhè zhǒng qíng kuàng yǔ tā dān tiāo kěn dìng yě shì jiǔ sǐ yì shēng de jié guǒ 。
连姐姐的化身都打他不过，自己现在这种情况与他单挑肯定也是九死一生的结果。
How could she stop or even intercept Lin Xuan?
tā dào bù zài hū yī jù huà shēn de yǔn luò ， dàn bái bái sòng sǐ de shì qíng kěn dìng bú huì qù zuò 。
她倒不在乎一具化身的陨落，但白白送死的事情肯定不会去做。
Bao She began to ponder.
jiū jìng yào zěn yàng ， cái néng zǔ zhǐ ， shèn zhì jié shā diào nà lín xiǎo zi ne ？
究竟要怎样，才能阻止，甚至截杀掉那林小子呢？
Her gaze quickly fell on the nearby Spirit Fox Immortal.
bǎo shé kāi shǐ sī suǒ 。
宝蛇开始思索。
Facing him alone was impossible; she needed help.
hěn kuài tā de mù guāng jiù luò zài páng biān líng hú zūn zhě de shēn shàng le 。
很快她的目光就落在旁边灵狐尊者的身上了。
"Friend Daoist Spirit Fox, do you have any interest in avenging your disciple?"
dān tiāo dǎ bù guò ， tā xū yào bāng shǒu 。
单挑打不过，她需要帮手。
"Revenge? Daoist friend is joking. To risk one's life for a few disciples against an equal-level cultivator... I am not that foolish."
“ líng hú dào yǒu ， nǐ kě yǒu xìng qù gěi lìng tú bào chóu ？”
“灵狐道友，你可有兴趣给令徒报仇？”
Elders of the Transcender stage were all afraid to die; with the cunning Spirit Fox Immortal, she couldn't be so easily fooled.
“ bào chóu ， dào yǒu shuō xiào le ， wèi le qū qū jǐ míng dì zǐ ， qù yǔ yī míng tóng jiē xiū shì shēng sǐ xiāng bó ， zài xià hái méi yǒu yú chǔn dào nà zhòng dì bù 。”
“报仇，道友说笑了，为了区区几名弟子，去与一名同阶修士生死相搏，在下还没有愚蠢到那种地步。”
"If you join me, what then?"
dù jié qī lǎo guài wù ， wú bù shì tān shēng pà sǐ zhī tú ， yǐ líng hú zūn zhě zhī jiǎo zhà ， yòu zěn me kě néng nà me hǎo hū yōu 。
渡劫期老怪物，无不是贪生怕死之徒，以灵狐尊者之狡诈，又怎么可能那么好忽悠。
"Do you not fear causing misunderstandings? Causing a war between the Spirit Realm and the Demon Realm..."
“ rú guǒ wǒ yǔ nǐ yì qǐ ， nà yòu rú hé ？”
“如果我与你一起，那又如何？”
The Spirit Fox Immortal said in surprise.
“ dào yǒu yě xiǎng chū shǒu ， nǐ jiù bù pà yǐn qǐ wù huì 。 ràng líng jiè yǔ mó jiè zhòng rán zhàn huǒ ……”
“道友也想出手，你就不怕引起误会。让灵界与魔界重燃战火……”
As a True Demonic Ancestor, Bao She was already known to many. Just one manifestation descending wouldn't be noticed by major cultivators of the Spirit Realm, but if she acted, the outcome would be unpredictable, making it hard to fool anyone.
líng hú zūn zhě yǒu diǎn chī jīng de shuō 。
灵狐尊者有点吃惊的说。
"Your Highness has your reasons. I won't trouble you further." Bao She said coldly: "Then, with Your Highness accompanying me, are you still afraid of that Lin boy?"
bǎo shé shēn wèi zhēn mó shǐ zǔ 。 yuán běn jiù bù zhī dào yǒu duō shǎo shuāng yǎn jīng dīng zhe ， jǐn jǐn shì yī jù huà shēn jiàng luò ， líng jiè de dà néng hái kě yǐ zhuāng zuò bù xiǎo de ， rán ér ruò shì chū shǒu ， yǐn fā de jié guǒ kě jiù bù hǎo yù cè ， méi yǒu nà me róng yì hù nòng guò qù le 。
宝蛇身为真魔始祖。原本就不知道有多少双眼睛盯着，仅仅是一具化身降落，灵界的大能还可以装作不晓得，然而若是出手，引发的结果可就不好预测，没有那么容易糊弄过去了。
"Why should a lady use such bait? My past with Lin Xuan is clear; there's no grudge or enmity now. Why would I risk my life for him without sufficient benefits?" the Spirit Fox Immortal said with a hint of cunning in her eyes.
“ běn gōng xīn lǐ yǒu shù ， zhè jiù bù láo dào yǒu duō cāo xīn le 。” bǎo shé lěng lěng de shuō ：“ zěn me yàng 。 yǒu běn gōng fèng péi ， dào yǒu mò fēi hái hài pà nà xìng lín de xiǎo jiā huo ？”
“本宫心里有数，这就不劳道友多cāo心了。”宝蛇冷冷的说：“怎么样。有本宫奉陪，道友莫非还害怕那姓林的小家伙？”
"Hmph, just say what you want."
“ xiān zi hé bì yòng nà jī jiàng zhī shù ， wǒ yǔ lín xuān wǎng rì wú yuàn ， jìn rì wú chóu ， méi yǒu zú gòu de hǎo chù ， wèi hé yào yǔ tā shēng sǐ xiāng bó ……” líng hú zūn zhě yǎn zhōng shǎn guò yī sī jiǎo kuài zhī sè。
“仙子何必用那激将之术，我与林轩往rì无怨，近rì无仇，没有足够的好处，为何要与他生死相搏……”灵狐尊者眼中闪过一丝狡狯之sè。
Bao She laughed instead: "If you help me, how about three Nine Transformations Spirit Snake Pills as payment?"
“ hēng 。 xiǎng yào hǎo chù jiù míng shuō 。”
“哼。想要好处就明说。”
"Three Nine Transformations Spirit Snake Pills are good, but not enough." The Spirit Fox Immortal's face showed greed.
bǎo shé què bù nù fǎn xiào qǐ lái le ：“ zhǐ yào dào yǒu kěn bāng wǒ ， shì hòu gěi nǐ sān lì jiǔ zhuǎn líng shé dān zuò wéi bào chóu rú hé ？”
宝蛇却不怒反笑起来了：“只要道友肯帮我，事后给你三粒九转灵蛇丹作为报酬如何？”
"What if I add one Ice Soul Melting Snow Pill?"
“ sān lì jiǔ zhuǎn líng shé dān shì bù cuò ， dàn hái bù gòu 。” líng hú zūn zhě liǎn shàng lù chū yī sī tān lán zhī sè。
“三粒九转灵蛇丹是不错，但还不够。”灵狐尊者脸上露出一丝贪婪之sè。
"What? Lady actually has this?" the Spirit Fox Immortal was truly surprised.
“ nà zài jiā yī lì bīng pò róng xuě dān rú hé ？”
“那再加一粒冰魄融雪丹如何？”
"I have no reason to lie," Bao She said. Her jade hand flicked, and an epiphany flew out. The bottle cap opened, revealing a white pill.
“ shén me ， xiān zi jū rán yǒu cǐ wù ？” líng hú zūn zhě shì zhēn de chī jīng le 。
“什么，仙子居然有此物？”灵狐尊者是真的吃惊了。
It didn't look extraordinary at first glance but emitted a intoxicating fragrance.
“ wǒ jì rán gǎn zhè me xǔ nuò ， zì rán shì yǒu de 。” bǎo shé huà yīn wèi luò ， yù shǒu yī fú ， yí gè yù píng fēi lüè ér chū ， píng sāi dǎ kāi 。 yī lì jié bái de xiān dān yìng rù yǎn lián 。
“我既然敢这么许诺，自然是有的。”宝蛇话音未落，玉手一拂，一个玉瓶飞掠而出，瓶塞打开。一粒洁白的仙丹映入眼帘。
The Spirit Fox Immortal's eyes flashed with seriousness as she raised her right hand. A flame appeared from the tip of her finger: "Go!"
biǎo miàn shàng kàn méi yǒu fēn háo chū qí 。 rán ér què sàn fà zhe yī gǔ lìng rén xīn zuì de yì xiāng zhī qì 。
表面上看没有分毫出奇。然而却散发着一股令人心醉的异香之气。
That flame vanished and merged into the white pill like a stone dropped in water, leaving no trace.
líng hú zūn zhě yǎn zhōng shǎn guò yī sī zhèng zhòng zhī sè， yòu shǒu tái qǐ 。 yī tuán huǒ yàn cóng zhǐ jiān fú xiàn ér chū ：“ qù ！”
灵狐尊者眼中闪过一丝郑重之sè，右手抬起。一团火焰从指尖浮现而出：“去！”
But soon, the pill turned red, then returned to its original state after some time.
nà huǒ yàn yī shǎn ， fēi xiàng le xiān dān 。
那火焰一闪，飞向了仙丹。
"Indeed, it's Ice Soul Melting Snow Pill."
cǐ huǒ yī kàn jiù fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， bù shuō rán jǐn wàn wù ， dàn néng dǎng zhù de dōng xī yě bù guò ， rán ér jiē xià lái bù kě sī yì de yí mù fā shēng le 。
此火一看就非同小可，不说燃尽万物，但能挡住的东西也不过，然而接下来不可思议的一幕发生了。
The Spirit Fox Immortal said with a single word. Her greed was evident; she might have tried to snatch it if not for her estimation of Bao She's strength.
nà huǒ yàn yī shǎn jí shì ， róng rù le xuě bái de xiān dān zhī zhōng ， rú ní niú rù hǎi ， bú jiàn bàn diǎn bō lán 。
那火焰一闪即逝，融入了雪白的仙丹之中，如泥牛入海，不见半点波澜。
Of course, such a treasure is genuine. Can this Highness deceive you? With this treasure, your chances of advancing to Transcender middle-stage are greatly increased. As long as you help me, here it is.
dàn jiē xià lái ， nà xiān dān què biàn chéng le huǒ hóng zhī sè， guò le jǐ xī de gōng fu ， yòu huī fù rú chū 。
但接下来，那仙丹却变成了火红之sè，过了几息的功夫，又恢复如初。
"Agreed!"
“ zhēn shì bīng pò róng xuě dān 。”
“真是冰魄融雪丹。”
The Spirit Fox Immortal discarded her cunning and immediately agreed. Riches come from danger; although Lin Xuan was formidable, with Bao She's manifestation by his side, he seemed more likely to lose than win.
líng hú zūn zhě yī zì yī dùn de shuō ， yǎn zhōng de tān lán ， yǐ shì fēn háo yǎn shì yě wú ， rú guǒ bú shì gū jì bǎo shé bù hǎo rě ， yě xǔ dōu xiǎng yào dòng shǒu qiǎng duó 。
灵狐尊者一字一顿的说，眼中的贪婪，已是分毫掩饰也无，如果不是估计宝蛇不好惹，也许都想要动手抢夺。
There would be risks, but what in the cultivation world can be guaranteed?
“ dāng rán shì huò zhēn jià shí de bǎo wù ， nán dào yǐ běn gōng de shēn fèn hái huì piàn nǐ me ， zěn me yàng ， yǒu le zhè lì bǎo wù ， dào yǒu jìn jiē dù jié zhōng qī de xī wàng yòu dà shàng jǐ fēn le ， zhǐ yào nǐ bāng wǒ ， zhè jiù shì nǐ de 。”
“当然是货真价实的宝物，难道以本宫的身份还会骗你么，怎么样，有了这粒宝物，道友进阶渡劫中期的希望又大上几分了，只要你帮我，这就是你的。”
"Since that is settled, let's go intercept that Lin boy."
“ hǎo ！”
“好！”
Bao She's heart was eager. Once they reached an agreement, she emitted a wave of demonic light and transformed into a black streak rushing forward.
líng hún zūn zhě yě shōu qǐ jiǎo kuài zhī sè， háo bù yóu yù de dā yìng xià lái le ， fù guì xiǎn zhōng qiú ， lín xiǎo zi suī bù hǎo rě ， dàn yǒu bǎo shé de huà shēn lián shǒu ， zěn me kàn tā hái shì yíng miàn jú duō 。
灵魂尊者也收起狡狯之sè，毫不犹豫的答应下来了，富贵险中求，林小子虽不好惹，但有宝蛇的化身联手，怎么看他还是赢面局多。
The Spirit Fox Immortal hesitated for a moment before stomping her foot and chasing after them.
fēng xiǎn kěn dìng hái shì yǒu ， dàn xiū xiān jiè yòu yǒu shén me shì qíng ， shì wàn wú yī shī de ？
风险肯定还是有，但修仙界又有什么事情，是万无一失的？
...
“ jì rán rú cǐ ， shì bù yí chí ， wǒ men zhè jiù qù lán xià nà lín xiǎo zi 。”
“既然如此，事不宜迟，我们这就去拦下那林小子。”
Lin Xuan didn't know about this. He wanted to trouble the Spirit Fox Immortal but found himself targeted as well.
bǎo shé de xīn ， què shì pò qiè wú bǐ ， yí dàn yǔ duì fāng dá chéng xié yì ， hún shēn mó guāng dà qǐ ， huà wèi yī dào yǒu hēi de jīng hóng xiàng qián fēi qù 。
宝蛇的心，却是迫切无比，一旦与对方达成协议，浑身魔光大起，化为一道黝黑的惊虹向前飞去。
To some extent, it was like a perfect match. However, Lin Xuan never expected that his enemies weren't just the Spirit Fox Immortal.
líng hún zūn zhě de yǎn zhōng shǎn guò yī sī chí yí ， dàn hěn kuài duò le duò zú ， yě shī zhǎn shén tōng ， zhuī le shàng qù 。
灵魂尊者的眼中闪过一丝迟疑，但很快跺了跺足，也施展神通，追了上去。
Lin Xuan's遁光quickly moved through space, covering countless miles in an instant.
……
……
A desert appeared before his eyes. He didn't know what this desert was called but knew he wouldn't be far from the Spirit Fox Mountains soon.
ér zhè yī qiè ， lín xuān bìng bù xiǎo de 。
而这一切，林轩并不晓得。
How should he act? Although Lin Xuan had an 80% chance that the Spirit Fox Immortal was behind it, he couldn't be certain and still suspected a possible trap by someone else.
tā xiǎng yào lái xún zhǎo líng hú zūn zhě de má fán ， duì fāng jū rán yě dǎ qǐ zì jǐ de zhǔ yì lái le 。
他想要来寻找灵狐尊者的麻烦，对方居然也打起自己的主意来了。
He didn't want to fall into their scheme. Therefore, he needed to confirm if the Spirit Fox Immortal was indeed the mastermind but found no good ideas along the way.
zhè cóng mǒu zhǒng chéng dù ， yě kě yǐ suàn zuò yī pāi jí hé ， zhǐ bù guò lín xuān wàn wàn liào xiǎng bú dào de shì ， tā de dí rén ， bìng fēi zhǐ yǒu líng hú zūn zhě yí gè 。
这从某种程度，也可以算作一拍即合，只不过林轩万万料想不到的是，他的敌人，并非只有灵狐尊者一个。
As he flew, Lin Xuan pondered. Suddenly, his brows furrowed as he looked up; two streaks of light were speeding towards them from ahead.
què shuō lín xuān dùn guāng xùn sù ， shùn xī jiān ， yǐ bù zhī dào fēi yuè le duō shǎo wàn lǐ 。
却说林轩遁光迅速，瞬息间，已不知道飞跃了多少万里。
Although there was no obvious spiritual pressure emanating from their bodies, that subtle aura revealed their strength.
yī piàn huāng mò chū xiàn zài shì xiàn lǐ 。
一片荒漠出现在视线里。
Transcender stage!
lín xuān yě bù zhī dào zhè huāng mò jiào shén me míng zì ， zhǐ zhī dào fēi chū zhè lǐ ， jù lí líng hú shān mài jiù bù yuǎn le 。
林轩也不知道这荒漠叫什么名字，只知道飞出这里，距离灵狐山脉就不远了。
Lin Xuan was both surprised and amazed.
yī huì er yào zěn me dòng shǒu ne ， suī rán lín xuān yǒu bā chéng de bǎ wò ， líng hú zūn zhě ， jiù shì mù hòu zhǔ shǐ ， dàn yě bù gǎn bǎi fēn zhī bǎi ， jiù kěn dìng zì jǐ de cāi cè ， duì fāng yī jiù yǒu liǎng chéng de kě néng ， shì bèi yǒu xīn rén gěi xiàn hài de 。
一会儿要怎么动手呢，虽然林轩有八成的把握，灵狐尊者，就是幕后主使，但也不敢百分之百，就肯定自己的猜测，对方依旧有两成的可能，是被有心人给陷害的。
Considering the few Transcenders in the Spirit Realm, how did they meet so easily? And two at once—was this a mistake?
ér lín xuān kě bù xiǎng luò rù duì fāng suǒ bù xià de jú ， suǒ yǐ yī huì er yào xiān què rèn líng hú zūn zhě shì bú shì mù hòu zhǔ shǐ ， dàn zhè yì diǎn bìng bù róng yì ， lín xuān yī lù shàng ， yě méi yǒu xiǎng chū shén me hǎo zhǔ yì 。
而林轩可不想落入对方所布下的局，所以一会儿要先确认灵狐尊者是不是幕后主使，但这一点并不容易，林轩一路上，也没有想出什么好主意。
Why would such powerful old monsters venture out? This place wasn't far from the Spirit Fox Mountains; could one of them be the sought-after Elder Spirit Fox?
tā zhèng yī biān fēi yī biān sī suǒ ， tū rán ， lín xuān méi tóu yī tiāo ， yǒu xiē hài rán de tái qǐ tóu lú ， jiù zài zhèng qián fāng ， yǒu liǎng dào dùn guāng fēng chí diàn chè ， mù biāo zhèng shì zhè lǐ de 。
他正一边飞一边思索，突然，林轩眉头一挑，有些骇然的抬起头颅，就在正前方，有两道遁光风驰电掣，目标正是这里的。
Who was the other person then?
suī rán duì fāng shēn shàng ， bìng méi yǒu míng xiǎn de líng yā sàn fà ér chū ， dàn nà ruò yǒu ruò wú de qì xī ， hái shì jiāng liǎng rén de shí lì bào lù 。
虽然对方身上，并没有明显的灵压散发而出，但那若有若无的气息，还是将两人的实力暴露。
Lin Xuan didn't know and had no time to speculate. He couldn't hide anymore as they were only a few million miles apart, insignificant for their existence. They must have already detected his presence.
dù jié qī ！
渡劫期！
With this in mind, Lin Xuan no longer hesitated; he gritted his teeth and rushed forward. (To be continued.)
"Wait, you're saying that Lin Xuan has returned to the main sect of the Talisman Ghost Sect?" Bao She's expression turned grim.
Just now, she had only guessed, but if Lin Xuan really came back so quickly, his purpose would be worth considering. The spatial node was the best explanation.
He seemed eager to head for Yīnshi Netherworld. Without a doubt, he must have already figured out the secrets of the Seven Treasures of Māsōu.
