dǐng fèi de rén shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， rú cǐ dà de dòng jìng ， zì rán lì kè jiāng xià miàn de xiū shì dōu jīng dòng le ， zhǐ jiàn guāng huá dà zuò ， yī dào dào wǔ yán liù sè de jīng hóng téng kōng ér qǐ ， cháo zhe lín xuān fēi pū ér qù 。
鼎沸的人声传入耳朵，如此大的动静，自然立刻将下面的修士都惊动了，只见光华大做，一道道五颜六sè的惊虹腾空而起，朝着林轩飞扑而去。
The din of voices reached his ears. Such a commotion naturally stirred the attention of the cultivators below. A dazzling light erupted, and several colorful beams shot up into the air, heading straight for Lin Xuan.
lín xuān liǎn shàng bìng wú yì wài shén me ， lái zhī qián tā yǐ jīng dǎ tàn dé qīng qīng chǔ chǔ ， zhè líng hú zūn zhě suī méi yǒu kāi zōng chuàng pài zhī yì ， dàn yě jué fēi gū jiā guǎ rén yí gè 。
林轩脸上并无意外什么，来之前他已经打探得清清楚楚，这灵狐尊者虽没有开宗创派之意，但也绝非孤家寡人一个。
Lin Xuan's face showed no surprise. He had already gathered enough intelligence before coming here. Although the Spirit Fox Venerable did not have any intention to establish a sect, he was certainly not alone. Instead, he had quite a number of disciples and apprentices.
ér shì shōu le bù shǎo de mén rén dì zǐ de 。
而是收了不少的门人弟子的。
If his calculations were correct, these should be his own students or grandstudents.
rú guǒ méi yǒu liào cuò ， lái zhè lǐ de yīng gāi jiù shì tā de tú zǐ tú sūn le 。
如果没有料错，来这里的应该就是他的徒子徒孙了。
"Truly, you know no fear."
“ zhēn shì bù zhī sǐ huó 。”
“真是不知死活。”
A sneer curled at the corner of Lin Xuan's mouth. Although only the Spirit Fox Venerable had offended him, this old fellow was unpredictable in nature, and his disciples were not virtuous individuals either; most were evil cultivators who committed all sorts of atrocities.
lín xuān zuǐ jiǎo biān lù chū yī sī jī cháo zhī sè， suī rán dé zuì zì jǐ de zhǐ shì líng hú zūn zhě yí gè ， bù guò zhè lǎo jiā huǒ xìng gé guāi lì ， suǒ shōu de mén rén dì zǐ ， yě bú shì shén me liáng shàn rén wù ， yǐ xié xiū jū duō ， píng rì lǐ wú è bù zuò 。
林轩嘴角边露出一丝讥嘲之sè，虽然得罪自己的只是灵狐尊者一个，不过这老家伙xìng格乖戾，所收的门人弟子，也不是什么良善人物，以邪修居多，平rì里无恶不作。
Eliminating this lineage completely would be a just act.
jiāng tā zhè yī mài lián gēn bá chú ， yě suàn shì tì tiān xíng dào le 。
将他这一脉连根拔除，也算是替天行道了。
Besides, he already killed the Spirit Fox Venerable. His disciples originally weren't on his list to spare. With his current strength, he had no fear of retaliation from them. However, he didn’t want to bring disaster upon Yun Yin Sect due to his merciful heart.
hé kuàng zì jǐ jì yǐ miè shā le líng hú zūn zhě ， tā de mén rén dì zǐ ， yuán běn yě méi yǒu dǎ suàn fàng guò ， suī rán yǐ lín xuān rú jīn de shí lì ， gēn běn bù pà duì fāng bào fù ， dàn tā kě bù xiǎng yīn wèi yī niàn zhī rén ， ér wèi yún yǐn zōng zhāo zāi rě huò 。
何况自己既已灭杀了灵狐尊者，他的门人弟子，原本也没有打算放过，虽然以林轩如今的实力，根本不怕对方报复，但他可不想因为一念之仁，而为云隐宗招灾惹祸。
Danger must be eliminated at its root.
wēi xiǎn yào è shā zài méng yá lǐ 。
危险要扼杀在萌芽里。
Although Lin Xuan was not a cruel or bloodthirsty cultivator, he understood the saying: "A tiger will harm people if provoked."
lín xuān suī bú shì cán rěn shì shā de xiū xiān zhě ， dàn yě dǒng de rén wú shāng hǔ yì ， hǔ yǒu hài rén xīn de dào lǐ 。
林轩虽不是残忍嗜杀的修仙者，但也懂得人无伤虎意，虎有害人心的道理。
Moreover, eliminating these evil cultivators was indeed just. So what was there to hesitate about?
hé kuàng jiāng zhè xiē xié xiū miè chú ， yuán běn jiù shì tì tiān xíng dào méi cuò 。
何况将这些邪修灭除，原本就是替天行道没错。
Lin Xuan exuded a killing intent from his entire body.
jì rú cǐ ， hái yǒu shén me hǎo chí yí 。
既如此，还有什么好迟疑。
The beams of light didn't slow down much and soon approached him. The brilliance subsided, revealing over ten cultivators inside.
lín xuān hún shēn shàng xià ， liú lù chū yī sī shā qì 。
林轩浑身上下，流露出一丝杀气。
Most had fierce appearances and wore peculiar attire.
nà xiē jīng hóng sù dù dào yě bù huǎn ， hěn kuài ， jiù lái dào le miàn qián ， guāng máng shōu liǎn ， lù chū le lǐ miàn xiū shì de róng yán ， gòng yǒu shí yú rén zhī duō 。
那些惊虹速度倒也不缓，很快，就来到了面前，光芒收敛，露出了里面修士的容颜，共有十余人之多。
"Who are you? How dare you..."
dà bù fèn xiàng mào xiōng è ， chuān zhe yě hěn qí tè 。
大部分相貌凶恶，穿着也很奇特。
At the forefront was a man with thick beard. As he stopped his flight, he loudly reprimanded Lin Xuan.
“ nǐ shì hé rén ， jū rán gǎn ……”
“你是何人，居然敢……”
It was understandable why he showed no restraint; this was the abode of the Spirit Fox Venerable. Even powerful figures would never dare to cause trouble here.
wéi shǒu de shì ， shì yī qiú xū dà hàn ， cái yī tíng xià dùn guāng 。 jiù duì lín xuān dà shēng hē mà qǐ lái 。
为首的是，是一虬须大汉，才一停下遁光。就对林轩大声喝骂起来。
With such an ancestor backing him up, he was usually arrogant and domineering in daily life. Unfortunately, today, he had kicked a rock.
yě nán guài tā fēn háo gù jì yě wú ， zhè ér kě shì líng hú zūn zhě de dòng fǔ ， jiù suàn shì xióng bà yī fāng de rén wù ， yě jué bù gǎn lái zhè lǐ sā yě de 。
也难怪他分毫顾忌也无，这儿可是灵狐尊者的洞府，就算是雄霸一方的人物，也绝不敢来这里撒野的。
Lin Xuan swept his gaze over them and found that they were merely some Core Formation cultivators at the Separation stage.
yǒu zhè me yī wèi lǎo zǔ zōng chēng yāo ， tā píng rì lǐ ， yě shì xiāo zhāng bá hù ， kě xī zhè yī cì què shì tī dào tiě bǎn le 。
有这么一位老祖宗撑腰，他平rì里，也是嚣张跋扈，可惜这一次却是踢倒铁板了。
Fighting with them would be unwise, but there was no reason to let them go either.
lín xuān mù guāng sǎo guò ， fā xiàn bù guò shì yī xiē yuán yīng ， lí hé jí bié de cún zài bà le 。
林轩目光扫过，发现不过是一些元婴，离合级别的存在罢了。
Well then, since their paths crossed, it seemed their fates were sealed.
yǔ tā men dòng shǒu 。 shèng zhī bù wǔ ， dàn yě méi yǒu dào lǐ bái bái fàng guò 。
与他们动手。胜之不武，但也没有道理白白放过。
With a flick of his sleeves, Lin Xuan made no other movements.
yě bà ， yǔ zì jǐ xiá lù xiāng yù ， jiù suàn tā men mìng yǒu cǐ jié le 。
也罢，与自己狭路相遇，就算他们命有此劫了。
A moment later, the sound of breaking air grew louder as dozens of wind blades darted out like fish in water.
nǎo hǎi zhōng niàn tou zhuǎn guò ， lín xuān xiù páo yī fú 。 chú cǐ yǐ wài méi yǒu duō yú de dòng zuò 。
脑海中念头转过，林轩袖袍一拂。除此以外没有多余的动作。
The outcome was clear; these cultivators at this stage couldn't escape from Lin Xuan's hands.
shà shí jiān ， pò kōng shēng dà zuò ， què shì shù shí dào fēng rèn yú yóu ér chū 。
霎时间，破空声大做，却是数十道风刃鱼游而出。
All of them perished without exception.
jié guǒ dāng rán shì fēn háo xuán niàn yě wú ， zhè zhǒng jìng jiè de xiū xiān zhě ， zěn me kě néng cóng lín xuān shǒu lǐ táo guò 。
结果当然是分毫悬念也无，这种境界的修仙者，怎么可能从林轩手里逃过。
Though the process seemed complicated, it took only an instant. Following that, Lin Xuan vanished into a mist, breaking through several restrictions.
wú yī lì wài ， quán bù yǔn luò diào le 。
无一例外，全部陨落掉了。
This naturally alarmed higher-stage cultivators, but to no avail.
zhěng gè guò chéng shuō lái fán fù ， qí shí bù guò shùn xī de gōng fu 。 suí hòu lín xuān shēn xíng yī shǎn ， mò rù wù qì xiāo shī bú jiàn 。
整个过程说来繁复，其实不过瞬息的功夫。随后林轩身形一闪，没入雾气消失不见。
With even the Spirit Fox Venerable eliminated by Lin Xuan, how could his disciples still survive?
yī dào dào jìn zhì bèi lín xuān pò chú 。
一道道禁制被林轩破除。
Lin Xuan continued his advance with ease and soon arrived at the heart of this immortal mountain abode.
rú cǐ yī lái ， zì rán jīng dòng le gèng wéi gāo jiē de xiū xiān zhě ， dāng rán 。 sī háo yě méi yǒu yòng chǔ 。
如此一来，自然惊动了更为高阶的修仙者，当然。丝毫也没有用处。
"Who dares to cause trouble here? Do you not respect the Spirit Fox Ancestor?"
lián líng hú zūn zhě dōu bèi lín xuān zhǎn chú ， tā de tú zǐ tú sūn zěn me hái yǒu běn lǐng táo chū shēng tiān ne ？
连灵狐尊者都被林轩斩除，他的徒子徒孙怎么还有本领逃出生天呢？
"What a bold move. Surrender now, and I might spare you some pain. Otherwise, I will definitely torture your soul and spirit."
lín xuān yī lù shì rú pò zhú 。
林轩一路势如破竹。
...
hěn kuài ， jiù lái dào le zhè chù xiān shān dòng fǔ de fù xīn zhī chù 。
很快，就来到了这处仙山洞府的腹心之处。
Roars echoed as several beams of light descended from the cliff ahead.
“ shén me rén gǎn lái zhè lǐ sā yě ， mò fēi zhēn bù jiāng líng hú lǎo zǔ fàng zài yǎn lǐ le me ？”
“什么人敢来这里撒野，莫非真不将灵狐老祖放在眼里了么？”
Compared to the enemies Lin Xuan had encountered earlier, these cultivators were overwhelmingly powerful.
“ hǎo dà de dǎn zi 。 hái shù shǒu jiù fù ， kě yǐ ràng nǐ shǎo shòu yì diǎn kǔ chǔ 。 fǒu zé ， yī huì er yí dìng jiāng nǐ chōu hún liàn pò ， qiú sǐ bù néng ， qiú sǐ bù dé 。”
“好大的胆子。还束手就缚，可以让你少受一点苦楚。否则，一会儿一定将你抽魂炼魄，求死不能，求死不得。”
The leader was around forty years old, his eyes gleaming with intelligence, a distinguished appearance, and he wore fine clothes. At first glance, one would think him a wealthy young man.
……
……
Beside him stood an elderly figure in black robes, expressionless.
lì hē shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， suí hòu biàn jiàn shù dào dùn guāng yóu qián miàn de shān yá fēi lüè ér xià 。
厉喝声传入耳朵，随后便见数道遁光由前面的山崖飞掠而下。
Additionally, there were two women; one was an elderly woman with white hair, while the other was only about twenty years old but had an ordinary appearance.
yǔ lín xuān yī lù shàng yù jiàn de dí rén xiāng bǐ ， zhè jǐ míng xiū shì de shí lì xiǎn de qiáng hèng yǐ jí 。
与林轩一路上遇见的敌人相比，这几名修士的实力显得强横以极。
The four emitted formidable spiritual pressure. All of them were late Core Formation cultivators.
wéi shǒu zhī rén dà yuē sì shí yú suì nián jì ， yǎn lù jīng guāng ， xiàng mào táng táng ， shēn chuān jǐn yī ， yī yǎn wàng qù ， biàn fǎng fú shì yī nián jì pǒ dà de shì jiā zǐ dì 。
为首之人大约四十余岁年纪，眼露jīng光，相貌堂堂，身穿锦衣，一眼望去，便仿佛是一年纪颇大的世家子弟。
They must be direct disciples of the Spirit Fox Venerable.
ér tā páng biān ， zé shì pí fū yǒu hēi de zào páo lǎo zhě ， yī liǎn mù rán zhī sè。
而他旁边，则是皮肤黝黑的皂袍老者，一脸木然之sè。
With their fierce expressions and aggressive demeanor, it was no wonder they were furious. The Nael Dragon Realm was vast, with many Core Formation cultivators, but those who could become apprentices to a Golden Transformation period ancestor were few and far between.
chú cǐ yǐ wài ， hái yǒu liǎng míng nǚ zǐ ， yí gè shì bái fà lǎo yù ， lìng wài yí gè ， zé zhǐ yǒu èr shí yú suì nián jì ， dàn róng mào shēn cái ， dōu shì pǔ tōng yǐ jí 。
除此以外，还有两名女子，一个是白发老妪，另外一个，则只有二十余岁年纪，但容貌身材，都是普通以极。
Even among peers, they would be courteous towards them, subtly positioning themselves as senior figures. Today, this unremarkable young man disregarded their status.
ér zhè sì rén shēn shàng sàn fà chū lái de líng yā fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， jū rán wú yī lì wài ， quán shì fēn shén hòu qī de xiū xiān zhě 。
而这四人身上散发出来的灵压非同小可，居然无一例外，全是分神后期的修仙者。
Causing trouble in the abode of their master was sheer madness.
bú yòng shuō ， tā men kěn dìng shì líng hú zūn zhě de qīn chuán dì zǐ le 。
不用说，他们肯定是灵狐尊者的亲传弟子了。
They considered Lin Xuan to be a late Core Formation cultivator too. With four against one, there was no pressure at all.
sì rén lái shì xiōng xiōng ， biǎo qíng gèng shì bù shàn yǐ jí ， yě nán guài tā men huì xīn zhōng fèn nù ， nài lóng jiè miàn jī guǎng bó ， fēn shén jí bié de cún zài yě bù zài shǎo shù ， rán ér néng yǒu xìng bài zài dù jié qī lǎo zǔ mén xià de què shì fèng máo lín jiǎo le 。
四人来势汹汹，表情更是不善以极，也难怪他们会心中愤怒，鼐龙界面积广博，分神级别的存在也不再少数，然而能有幸拜在渡劫期老祖门下的却是凤毛麟角了。
Their minds were filled with thoughts on how to severely punish this youngster.
biàn shì tóng jiē xiū shì yù jiàn tā men ， yě kè qì yǐ jí ， tā men yǐn yǐn yǐ bàn gè qián bèi zì jū ， méi xiǎng dào jīn tiān ， zhè mào bù jīng rén de xiǎo zi ， què bù jiāng tā men fàng zài yǎn lǐ 。
便是同阶修士遇见他们，也客气以极，他们隐隐以半个前辈自居，没想到今天，这貌不惊人的小子，却不将他们放在眼里。
After saying these words, they released their divine sense. Regardless, it had been mere speculation until now; they needed to gauge the other party's power level.
sā yě sā dào le shī zūn de dòng fǔ ， jiǎn zhí shì huó dé bù nài fán le 。
撒野撒到了师尊的洞府，简直是活得不耐烦了。
However, what they saw left them speechless and even made them lose their composure.
tā men jiāng lín xuān yě dàng chéng le fēn shén hòu qī de rén wù ， yǐ sì dí yī ， zì rán bú huì yǒu fēn háo de yā lì 。
他们将林轩也当成了分神后期的人物，以四敌一，自然不会有分毫的压力。
Incomprehensible!
mǎn xīn xiǎng de dōu shì ， yī huì er zěn me hěn hěn de jiào xùn zhè xiǎo zi 。
满心想的都是，一会儿怎么狠狠的教训这小子。
Could... could it be that the opponent was feigning weakness? This unremarkable young man might actually be a Golden Transformation period old monster.
shuō wán zhè xiē huà ， cái jiāng shén shí fàng chū ， bù guǎn rú hé ， gāng cái zhǐ shì cāi cè ， rú jīn yǎn kàn zhe yào dòng shǒu ， zǒng yào tàn cè yī xià duì fāng fǎ lì de shēn qiǎn rú hé 。
说完这些话，才将神识放出，不管如何，刚才只是猜测，如今眼看着要动手，总要探测一下对方法力的深浅如何。
How terrible. The spiritual pressure of a Golden Transformation period ancestor should have been formidable, but how could this guy emit such an elusive aura? Otherwise, they wouldn't have underestimated him so easily.
kě zhè yī kàn ， què ràng sì rén chēng mù jié shé ， shèn zhì kě yǐ shuō ， hún fēi tiān wài le 。
可这一看，却让四人瞠目结舌，甚至可以说，魂飞天外了。
The four were simultaneously enraged and fearful as they released their divine sense again, but the result was the same: the opponent was undoubtedly a Golden Transformation period old monster.
shēn bù kě cè ！
深不可测！
After exchanging glances, all felt bitter. How had things escalated to this point?
nán dào …… nán dào shuō ， duì fāng shì zài bàn zhū chī hǔ ， zhè mào bù jīng rén de xiǎo jiā huo qí shí shì yī dù jié qī lǎo guài wù 。
难道……难道说，对方是在扮猪吃虎，这貌不惊人的小家伙其实是一渡劫期老怪物。
Being arrogant in front of a first-stage Golden Transformation period ancestor was tantamount to suicide.
kě wù ， dù jié qī lǎo zǔ de líng yā ， bù yīng gāi fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， zhè jiā huo suǒ sàn fà chū lái de qì xī zěn me huì ruò yǒu ruò wú ， fǒu zé ， zì jǐ zhè xiē rén yě bú huì yī shí dà yì rèn cuò 。
可恶，渡劫期老祖的灵压，不应该非同小可，这家伙所散发出来的气息怎么会若有若无，否则，自己这些人也不会一时大意认错。
They regretted it deeply.
sì rén yòu shì jīng nù yòu shì huáng kǒng ， zài yí cì jiāng shén shí fàng chū ， kě hái shì tóng yàng de jié guǒ ， duì fāng bǎi fēn zhī bǎi ， shì dù jié jí bié de lǎo guài wù 。
四人又是惊怒又是惶恐，再一次将神识放出，可还是同样的结果，对方百分之百，是渡劫级别的老怪物。
But there was no use now.
miàn miàn xiāng qù xià ， sì rén dōu jué de zuǐ bā yǒu xiē fā kǔ ， shì qíng zěn me huì jìn zhǎn dào rú cǐ dì bù 。
面面相觑下，四人都觉得嘴巴有些发苦，事情怎么会进展到如此地步。
Surrendering was out of the question.
zài yī dù jié qī lǎo guài miàn qián xiāo zhāng bá hù ， nà bú shì zhǎo sǐ me ？
在一渡劫期老怪面前嚣张跋扈，那不是找死么？
The four quickly begged for mercy after some hesitation.
xīn zhōng hòu huǐ yǐ jí 。
心中后悔以极。
"Senior, please calm down. This is all a misunderstanding."
kě xiàn zài shuō shén me dōu méi yǒu yòng chǔ 。
可现在说什么都没有用处。
"Yes, we did not know your master had arrived here. We offended you unintentionally; please forgive us, senior,"
dàn shù shǒu dài bì dāng rán shì bù kě néng de 。
但束手待毙当然是不可能的。
...
sì rén zài liǎn sèyīn qíng bù dìng yī huì er zhī hòu jiù fēn fēn qiú ráo le 。
四人在脸sèyīn晴不定一会儿之后就纷纷求饶了。
Appeals for mercy echoed as the four, though late Core Formation cultivators, dared not oppose a Golden Transformation period ancestor even with their courage.
“ qián bèi xī nù ， zhè yī qiè dōu shì wù huì 。”
“前辈息怒，这一切都是误会。”
"Misunderstanding, my friends are wrong. I came here today to cause trouble for all of you." Lin Xuan's voice was calm and composed.
“ shì a ， wǒ men bù zhī shì lǎo zǔ jià lín cǐ chù ， wú xīn zhī xià ， duō yǒu dé zuì le ， hái qǐng lǎo zǔ dà rén bù jì xiǎo rén guò 。”
“是啊，我们不知是老祖驾临此处，无心之下，多有得罪了，还请老祖大人不计小人过。”
"The senior jests; your master is the Spirit Fox Venerable, whose name the senior must have heard."
……
……
The dry voice of the man in fine clothes entered his ears. With his composure, he could tell that the other party had come with ill intent. Now that things had reached this point, he could only rely on the apparent prestige to see if it would deter them.
yī shí jiān ， qiú ráo de de shēng yīn cǐ qǐ bǐ fú ， sì rén suī shì fēn shén jí bié de xiū xiān zhě ， dàn jiè yí gè dǎn ， yě jué bù gǎn yǔ dù jié jí bié de lǎo zǔ zuò duì de 。
一时间，求饶的的声音此起彼伏，四人虽是分神级别的修仙者，但借一个胆，也绝不敢与渡劫级别的老祖作对的。
"I know the Spirit Fox Venerable; I just took his head not long ago. Otherwise, why would I be here at Spirit Fox Mountain?"
“ wù huì ， sì wèi dào yǒu cuò le ， lín mǒu jīn tiān lái cǐ ， yuán běn jiù shì yào zhǎo nǐ men de má fán 。” lín xuān de shēng yīn shí fēn dàn rán 。
“误会，四位道友错了，林某今天来此，原本就是要找你们的麻烦。”林轩的声音十分淡然。
Lin Xuan continued in a casual tone.
The din of voices reached his ears. Such a commotion naturally stirred the attention of the cultivators below. A dazzling light erupted, and several colorful beams shot up into the air, heading straight for Lin Xuan.
Lin Xuan's face showed no surprise. He had already gathered enough intelligence before coming here. Although the Spirit Fox Venerable did not have any intention to establish a sect, he was certainly not alone. Instead, he had quite a number of disciples and apprentices.
If his calculations were correct, these should be his own students or grandstudents.
"Truly, you know no fear."
A sneer curled at the corner of Lin Xuan's mouth. Although only the Spirit Fox Venerable had offended him, this old fellow was unpredictable in nature, and his disciples were not virtuous individuals either; most were evil cultivators who committed all sorts of atrocities.

Besides, he already killed the Spirit Fox Venerable. His disciples originally weren't on his list to spare. With his current strength, he had no fear of retaliation from them. However, he didn’t want to bring disaster upon Yun Yin Sect due to his merciful heart.
Danger must be eliminated at its root.
Although Lin Xuan was not a cruel or bloodthirsty cultivator, he understood the saying: "A tiger will harm people if provoked."
Moreover, eliminating these evil cultivators was indeed just. So what was there to hesitate about?
Lin Xuan exuded a killing intent from his entire body.
