lín xuān méi yǒu yǔ tā duō yán ， qū qū yī míng dòng xuán qī xiū shì ， jì rán xiǎng yào zhǎo sǐ ， nà zì jǐ chéng quán le tā jiù shì 。
林轩没有与他多言，区区一名洞玄期修士，既然想要找死，那自己成全了他就是。
Lin Xuan did not waste any more words on him. A mere Core Profound cultivator wanting to seek death, he would make it happen.
fǎn zhèng zhè jiā huo yī kàn jiù bú shì shén me liáng shàn rén wù ， jiāng tā miè chú ， yě suàn shì tì tiān xíng dào le 。
反正这家伙一看就不是什么良善人物，将他灭除，也算是替天行道了。
After all, this fellow didn't seem like a virtuous person at first glance. Eradicating him would be considered upholding justice.
lín xuān bìng fēi cán rěn shì shā de xiū xiān zhě ， dàn jì rán yǒu rén bù zhī sǐ huó ， nà yě jiù méi yǒu bì yào shǒu xià liú qíng shén me 。
林轩并非残忍嗜杀的修仙者，但既然有人不知死活，那也就没有必要手下留情什么。
Lin Xuan was no cruel killer, but since someone was being reckless, there was no need for mercy.
fǎn zhèng zhè ér de rén nà me duō ， jiāng zhè jiā huo miè chú ， yě sī háo bú huì yǐng xiǎng zì jǐ jiāng xiāo xī dǎ tàn qīng chǔ 。
反正这儿的人那么多，将这家伙灭除，也丝毫不会影响自己将消息打探清楚。
With so many people around, eradicating this guy wouldn’t hinder his efforts to gather information. In fact, it could serve as a demonstration of power.
fǎn ér yǒu lì wēi de xiào guǒ 。
反而有立威的效果。
It was a win-win situation.
kě wèi yī jǔ liǎng dé 。
可谓一举两得。
With that thought in mind, Lin Xuan hesitated no longer and raised his right hand, pointing forward swiftly yet smoothly.
niàn jí zhì cǐ ， lín xuān bù zài chí yí ， yòu shǒu tái qǐ ， xiàng qián diǎn qù 。
念及至此，林轩不再迟疑，右手抬起，向前点去。
The movement seemed slow but was actually quick, without any hint of flamboyance.
dòng zuò shì huǎn shí jí ， què bù dài fēn háo yān huǒ zhī qì 。
动作似缓实急，却不带分毫烟火之气。
Even the spectators were slightly puzzled, but the Red Flame Monstrous Old Monster, as the main actor, turned pale.
páng guān zhī rén shèn zhì dài zhe jǐ fēn mí huò ， kě chì huǒ lǎo guài zuò wèi zhèng zhǔ ér ， què liǎn sè dà biàn le 。
旁观之人甚至带着几分迷惑，可赤火老怪做为正主儿，却脸色大变了。
He waved his sleeves several times, sending out a series of magical treasures from his sleeves to envelop him in a protective shield. His reaction was swift, but it was useless.
zhǐ jiàn tā xiù páo lián fú ， yī lián shù jiàn fǎ bǎo yóu yī xiù zhōng fēi lüè ér chū ， jiāng tā tuán tuán hù zhù 。
只见他袖袍连拂，一连数件法宝由衣袖中飞掠而出，将他团团护住。
With a loud "bang," the Red Flame Monstrous Old Monster exploded into a cloud of blood. All the magical treasures he had summoned shattered into pieces.
zhěng gè guò chéng tù qǐ hú luò ， zhè lǎo guài wù de fǎn yìng ， yě suàn shì gòu kuài le 。
整个过程兔起鹘落，这老怪物的反应，也算是够快了。
Sss...
kě xī méi yǒu yòng tú 。
可惜没有用途。
A gasp filled the air as all the cultivators around turned pale. If their initial guess was just that, they were now one hundred percent certain.
“ pēng ” de yī shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， chì huǒ lǎo guài jiù bào chéng le yī tuán xuè wù ， tā suǒ jì chū de shí yú jiàn bǎo wù ， tóng yàng shì cùn cùn suì liè diào le 。
“嘭”的一声传入耳朵，赤火老怪就爆成了一团血雾，他所祭出的十余件宝物，同样是寸寸碎裂掉了。
This guy in front of them was undoubtedly an old monster at the Tribulation Transcending stage; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to disintegrate the Red Flame Monstrous Old Monster with a single finger.
sī ……
嘶……
Everyone fell silent. A Hall of Tribulation Stage Ancestors could easily crush them like ants if they had any grievances against them.
dào xī liáng qì de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， zhōu wéi de xiū shì wú bù bó rán biàn sè ， rú guǒ gāng gāng shì cāi cè ， nà tā men xiàn zài ， zé kě yǐ bǎi fēn zhī bǎi de kěn dìng le 。
倒吸凉气的声音传入耳朵，周围的修士无不勃然变色，如果刚刚是猜测，那他们现在，则可以百分之百的肯定了。
"Where are we?"
yǎn qián zhè jiā huo ， jué duì shì dù jié jí bié de lǎo guài wù ， fǒu zé tā jué bù kě néng qīng miáo dàn xiě de yī zhǐ ， jiù ràng chì huǒ lǎo guài hún fēi pò sàn diào le 。
眼前这家伙，绝对是渡劫级别的老怪物，否则他绝不可能轻描淡写的一指，就让赤火老怪魂飞魄散掉了。
Satisfied with this outcome, Lin Xuan spoke lightly.
yī shí jiān ， suǒ yǒu rén jìn ruò hán chán ， táng táng dù jié qī lǎo zǔ ， ruò duì tā men yǒu shén me bù mǎn zhī chù ， xiǎng yào tā men yǔn luò ， jué duì jiù yǔ niǎn sǐ yī zhī mǎ yǐ xiāng chà fǎng fú 。
一时间，所有人噤若寒蝉，堂堂渡劫期老祖，若对他们有什么不满之处，想要他们陨落，绝对就与碾死一只蚂蚁相差仿佛。
"Reverend, this is Drifting Cloud Valley."
“ zhè lǐ shì shén me dì fāng ？”
“这里是什么地方？”
"Drifting Cloud Valley? Pfft..."
rú cǐ jié guǒ ， ràng lín xuān liǎn shàng shǎn guò yī sī mǎn yì zhī sè ， yún dàn fēng qīng de kāi kǒu le 。
如此结果，让林轩脸上闪过一丝满意之色，云淡风轻的开口了。
Even with his composure, Lin Xuan almost stumbled. He fell from the sky.
“ qǐ bǐng qián bèi ， zhè ér shì piāo yún gǔ 。”
“启禀前辈，这儿是飘云谷。”
But the shock was brief as he quickly regained his composure. It couldn't be the Drifting Cloud Valley in the mortal realm; it was just a coincidence that their names were the same due to the vastness of the Spirit Realm.
“ piāo yún gǔ ， pū ……”
“飘云谷，噗……”
Lin Xuan's strange reaction made the cultivators exchange glances, but they didn’t dare speak out. They remained silent and stood still.
jí biàn yǐ lín xuān de chéng fǔ ， yě chà diǎn yí gè liè qiè 。 yóu bàn kōng zhōng shuāi luò 。
即便以林轩的城府，也差点一个趔趄。由半空中摔落。
"Very well, I will ask you one more question: Is this the Sound Heaven Realm?"
bù guò chī jīng shì yī shùn jiān de 。 lín xuān hěn kuài jiù huī fù le cháng sè ， dāng rán bù kě néng shì rén jiè nà ge piāo yún gǔ ， líng jiè miàn jī guǎng bó ， yīng gāi zhǐ shì qiǎo hé ， pèng qiǎo míng zì xiāng tóng bà le 。
不过吃惊是一瞬间的。林轩很快就恢复了常色，当然不可能是人界那个飘云谷，灵界面积广博，应该只是巧合，碰巧名字相同罢了。
His words revealed some hesitation on his face as he had coordinates to guide him, but breaking through the void was a fine line; he might end up in another realm by accident.
lín xuān qí guài de fǎn yìng ， ràng zhòng xiū shì miàn miàn xiāng qù ， bù guò yě bù gǎn hú yán luàn yǔ 。 yí gè gè lǎo lǎo shí shí de dài zài yuán dì 。
林轩奇怪的反应，让众修士面面相觑，不过也不敢胡言乱语。一个个老老实实的待在原地。
"This is the Sound Heaven Realm. Reverend..."
“ hǎo ， lín mǒu zài wèn nǐ men yī jù ， zhè ér kě shì tiān yīn jiè me ？”
“好，林某再问你们一句，这儿可是天音界么？”
A pleasant voice entered his ears, but it contained a hint of nervousness. Lin Xuan turned and saw the woman holding a harp.
cǐ huà jì chū ， lín xuān liǎn shàng yě lù chū jǐ fēn chóu chú ， suī shuō yǒu zuò biāo shuō dé qīng chǔ ， rán ér pò suì xū kōng 。 kě shì chā zhī háo lí ， miù yǐ qiān lǐ ， yí bù xiǎo xīn ， yě yǒu kě néng chuān suō dào qí tā jiè miàn qù 。
此话既出，林轩脸上也露出几分踌躇，虽说有坐标说得清楚，然而破碎虚空。可是差之毫厘，谬以千里，一不小心，也有可能穿梭到其他界面去。
Though she wore a white veil, her beauty could not hide from Lin Xuan's Divine Phoenix Eyes.
“ zhè ér shì tiān yīn jiè ， qián bèi nǐ ……”
“这儿是天音界，前辈你……”
She had delicate features and an etherealtemperament, resembling Qinxin in some ways. Unfortunately, they were just alike.
dòng tīng de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， rán ér yǔ qì zhī zhōng què hán yǒu jǐ fēn tǎn tè ， lín xuān zhuǎn guò tóu lú ， zhèng shì nà shǒu ná shù qín de nǚ zǐ 。
动听的声音传入耳朵，然而语气之中却含有几分忐忑，林轩转过头颅，正是那手拿竖琴的女子。
If only it was Qinxin herself...
cǐ nǚ suī bái shā méng miàn 。 rán ér qū qū yī jiàn bǎo wù 。 yòu zěn me dǎng dé zhù lín xuān de tiān fèng shén mù 。
此女虽白纱蒙面。然而区区一件宝物。又怎么挡得住林轩的天凤神目。
Lin Xuan’s thoughts raced but he soon laughed at himself. His purpose for coming to the Sound Heaven Realm was to find clues about Qinxin, so such a coincidence was unlikely.
zhǐ jiàn cǐ nǚ wǔ guān xiù měi ， qì zhì tuō sú 。 huǎng yǎn yī kàn ， dào zhēn yǔ qín xīn yǒu jǐ fēn xiāng sì zhī chù ， kě xī ， yě zhǐ shì xiāng sì bà le 。
只见此女五官秀美，气质脱俗。晃眼一看，倒真与琴心有几分相似之处，可惜，也只是相似罢了。
But he decided to test his luck.
ruò shì qín xīn běn rén ， nà gāi yǒu duō hǎo ne ？
若是琴心本人，那该有多好呢？
As Lin Xuan pondered this, something unexpected happened.
lín xuān nǎo hǎi zhōng niàn tou zhuǎn guò ， suí hòu zì jǐ què shì yǎ rán shī xiào le ， zì jǐ zhè cì lái tiān yīn jiè ， mù dì biàn shì xún zhǎo qín xīn de xiàn suǒ ， kě shì shàng yòu zěn me kě néng yǒu zhè yàng de hǎo shì ， gāng lái jiù yù shàng le 。
林轩脑海中念头转过，随后自己却是哑然失笑了，自己这次来天音界，目的便是寻找琴心的线索，可世上又怎么可能有这样的好事，刚来就遇上了。
The white-robed woman raised her head and scanned him with her eyes, revealing surprise before exclaiming, "Pfft, Reverend, you are..."
sú huà shuō hǎo shì duō mó ， rán ér cǐ nǚ de qì zhì yǔ qín xīn pǒ wèi xiāng sì ， huì bú huì yǒu shén me yuān yuán ne ？
俗话说好事多磨，然而此女的气质与琴心颇为相似，会不会有什么渊源呢？
"How do you know me?"
zhè ge niàn tou zài lín xuān nǎo hǎi zhōng zhuǎn guò ， suī rán tā zì jǐ yě jué de ， shì shàng bú huì yǒu zhè yàng de qiǎo hé ， dàn jǐn jǐn shì shì yī xià ， yě shì méi yǒu shén me guān xì de 。
这个念头在林轩脑海中转过，虽然他自己也觉得，世上不会有这样的巧合，但仅仅是试一下，也是没有什么关系的。
Lin Xuan's eyes showed a hint of surprise as he couldn't help but look shocked. He had confirmed that he was in the Sound Heaven Realm.
lín xuān rú cǐ zhè bān de xiǎng zhe ， rán ér chū hū tā yì liào de yí mù fā shēng le 。
林轩如此这般的想着，然而出乎他意料的一幕发生了。
If it were another Tribulation Transcending cultivator who knew his reputation, it wouldn’t be strange. But this woman was only at the Core Profound stage; she shouldn’t have any connection with him.
nà bái yī nǚ zǐ tái qǐ tóu lú ， mù guāng zài qí liǎn shàng sǎo guò ， yǎn zhōng yī xià zi lù chū chī jīng zhī sè ， rěn bú zhù tuō kǒu ér hū ：“ yí ， qián bèi ， nǐ shì ……”
那白衣女子抬起头颅，目光在其脸上扫过，眼中一下子露出吃惊之色，忍不住脱口而呼：“咦，前辈，你是……”
He was sure they hadn't met before, so how could she know him?
“ zěn me ， nǐ rèn de wǒ ？”
“怎么，你认得我？”
Her expression didn’t look like a mistake.
lín xuān yǎn zhōng yī sī yì sè ， liǎn shàng yě bù yóu zì zhǔ de lù chū jǐ fēn chī jīng de biǎo qíng lái le 。
林轩眼中一丝异色，脸上也不由自主的露出几分吃惊的表情来了。
Lin Xuan was still surprised but regained his calm demeanor. He waved his sleeve and a streak of green light shot out.
rú jīn yǐ què dìng zì jǐ lái dào tiān yīn jiè le 。
如今已确定自己来到天音界了。
The dozen Core Profound cultivators below couldn't dodge it and were all enveloped.
rú guǒ yù jiàn de shì yī dù jié jí bié de xiū xiān zhě ， tīng shuō guò zì jǐ de míng qì dào yě bù suàn yǒu shén me xī qí zhī chù ， kě yǎn qián de nǚ zǐ ， bù guò dòng xuán qī ， wú lùn rú hé ， yě bù gāi yǔ zì jǐ yǒu jiāo jí 。
如果遇见的是一渡劫级别的修仙者，听说过自己的名气倒也不算有什么稀奇之处，可眼前的女子，不过洞玄期，无论如何，也不该与自己有交集。
After a moment, the green light dispersed, and thuds echoed as the cultivators fell unconscious.
ér zì jǐ kě yǐ kěn dìng ， yǐ qián yǔ tā cóng wèi jiàn guò ， tā zěn me kě néng zhī dào zì jǐ ne ？
而自己可以肯定，以前与她从未见过，她怎么可能知道自己呢？
"What...?"
kàn nà biǎo qíng ， kě bù xiàng shì rèn cuò rén le 。
看那表情，可不像是认错人了。
The Pure Fairy was shocked, unable to believe Lin Xuan's ruthlessness.
lín xuān chú le jīng qí hái shì ， dàn liǎn shàng yǐ huī fù le yún dàn fēng qīng zhī sè ， suí hòu xiù páo yī fú ， yī dào qīng xiá fēi lüè ér chū 。
林轩除了惊奇还是，但脸上已恢复了云淡风轻之色，随后袖袍一拂，一道青霞飞掠而出。
"Friend, you are mistaken. I don’t want to kill innocent people; I just don't want you to get into trouble," Lin Xuan smiled. "They will only be temporarily unconscious for a day and night before waking up with no memory of this. So, Fairy, please speak freely."
xià miàn de shí yú míng dòng xuán qī xiū shì duǒ wú kě duǒ ， quán bù bèi bāo guǒ zhù 。
下面的十余名洞玄期修士躲无可躲，全部被包裹住。
"Oh, that makes sense."
shǎo qǐng ， qīng xiá sàn kāi ， pū tōng zhī shēng bù jué yú ěr ， nà shí yú míng xiū shì quán bù fān shēn zāi dǎo ， hūn mí bù xǐng le qǐ lái 。
少顷，青霞散开，噗通之声不绝于耳，那十余名修士全部翻身栽倒，昏迷不醒了起来。
The young woman in the palace attire blushed slightly, realizing she had misunderstood the elder.
“ zhè ……”
“这……”
After some hesitation, she finally spoke: "May I ask, is it true that you are an Ancestor at the Tribulation Transcending stage?"
nà qīng xiān zi xià dé chēng mù jié shé ， xiǎn rán liào xiǎng bú dào lín xuān xīn hěn shǒu là dào rú cǐ dì bù 。
那清仙子吓得瞠目结舌，显然料想不到林轩心狠手辣到如此地步。
"Is this important?" Lin Xuan was a bit puzzled but still answered truthfully. "You guessed right; I am indeed a Tribulation Transcending cultivator."
“ dào yǒu wù huì le ， lín mǒu kě bù xiǎng làn shā wú gū ， zhè me zuò ， zhǐ shì bù xiǎng nǐ rě shàng má fán ér yǐ 。” lín xuān zuǐ jiǎo biān lù chū jǐ fēn xiào yì ：“ tā men zhǐ shì zàn qiě hūn mí ， yī tiān yī yè zhī hòu ， zì huì xǐng zhuǎn ， ér xǐng lái hòu ， jiāng shén me yě jì bù dé ， suǒ yǐ xiān zi yǒu shén me xiāo xī ， jǐn guǎn míng shuō ， bù xū yǒu rèn hé gù jì de 。”
“道友误会了，林某可不想滥杀无辜，这么做，只是不想你惹上麻烦而已。”林轩嘴角边露出几分笑意：“他们只是暂且昏迷，一天一夜之后，自会醒转，而醒来后，将什么也记不得，所以仙子有什么消息，尽管明说，不需有任何顾忌的。”
"This is great." A hint of excitement appeared on her face. "If you are truly an Ancestor at the Tribulation Transcending stage, there might be a chance to save Sister Qinxin."
“ yuán lái rú cǐ 。”
“原来如此。”
"What? Qinxin sister, which Qinxin?" Lin Xuan was shocked.
gōng zhuāng shào nǚ liǎn shàng lù chū jǐ fēn xiū sè ， dǎo shì zì jǐ wù huì zhè wèi qián bèi le 。
宫装少女脸上露出几分羞涩，倒是自己误会这位前辈了。
"Of course, it’s Ouyang Qinxin. Are you not Ancestor Lin Xuan?"
suí hòu lüè yī chóu chú ， zhōng yú huǎn huǎn de kāi kǒu le ：“ wǎn bèi qǐng wèn yī jù bù jìng de yán yǔ ， qián bèi zhēn shì dù jié jí bié de lǎo zǔ me ？”
随后略一踌躇，终于缓缓的开口了：“晚辈请问一句不敬的言语，前辈真是渡劫级别的老祖么？”
"I am naturally Lin Xuan, but who are you? How do you know me, and what trouble has Qinxin gotten into?" Lin Xuan could no longer maintain his calm as he fired a series of questions.
“ zhè yì diǎn hěn zhòng yào me ？” lín xuān yǐn yǐn yǒu xiē yí huò ， dàn hái shì rú shí huí dá le ：“ nǐ cāi dé méi cuò ， lín mǒu què shí dù jié jí bié de xiū xiān zhě 。”
“这一点很重要么？”林轩隐隐有些疑惑，但还是如实回答了：“你猜得没错，林某确实渡劫级别的修仙者。”
"This... it’s a long story. You asked so many things at once; how can I answer clearly," the woman's face showed a hint of bitterness.
“ zhè tài hǎo le 。” cǐ nǚ de liǎn shàng lù chū yī sī jī dòng zhī sè ：“ qián bèi ruò zhēn shì dù jié jí bié de xiū xiān zhě ， dào hái zhēn yǒu yī sī jī huì jiù qín xīn jiě jiě de 。”
“这太好了。”此女的脸上露出一丝激动之色：“前辈若真是渡劫级别的修仙者，倒还真有一丝机会救琴心姐姐的。”
"It was Lin Xuan who was too anxious."
“ shén me ， qín xīn jiě jiě ， nǎ ge qín xīn ？” lín xuān dà jīng shī sè 。
“什么，琴心姐姐，哪个琴心？”林轩大惊失色。
Lin Xuan scratched his nose, realizing that concern could cloud judgment. He had been hasty just now and now regretted it.
“ zì rán shì ōu yáng qín xīn ， zěn me ， mò fēi qián bèi bú shì lín xuān lín lǎo zǔ ？”
“自然是欧阳琴心，怎么，莫非前辈不是林轩林老祖？”
"Let’s find another place to talk properly."
“ wǒ zì rán shì lín xuān ， kě nǐ yòu shì shuí ， zěn me huì rèn shí wǒ ， qín xīn tā yòu yù jiàn shén me má fán le ？” lín xuān zài yě wú fǎ bǎo chí dàn rán zhī sè ， yī lián chuàn de wèn tí fā chū 。
“我自然是林轩，可你又是谁，怎么会认识我，琴心她又遇见什么麻烦了？”林轩再也无法保持淡然之色，一连串的问题发出。
Before he finished speaking, Lin Xuan made up his mind, enveloping the woman in a green glow as he flew away towards the distance.
“ zhè …… cǐ shì shuō lái huà cháng ， qián bèi yī xià zi wèn zhè me duō ， wǎn bèi zěn me huí dá dé qīng chǔ 。” cǐ nǚ liǎn shàng lù chū yī sī kǔ xiào zhī sè 。
“这……此事说来话长，前辈一下子问这么多，晚辈怎么回答得清楚。”此女脸上露出一丝苦笑之色。
With his current speed, it was like a flash; they were already a million miles away.
“ shì lín mǒu tài xīn jí le 。”
“是林某太心急了。”
This was a scenic area with few people around. Talking here wouldn’t risk being overheard by third parties.
lín xuān bù hǎo yì sī de mō le mō bí zi ， sú huà shuō ， guān xīn zé luàn ， gāng cái tā yě shì yī shí qíng jí ， rú jīn zǐ xì xiǎng xiǎng ， shì tài mào shī le yī xiē 。
林轩不好意思的摸了摸鼻子，俗话说，关心则乱，刚才他也是一时情急，如今仔细想想，是太冒失了一些。
Thus, the streak of light descended and continued the story.
“ bà le ， zhè ér bú shì tán huà zhī suǒ ， wǒ men lìng wài zhǎo yí gè dì fāng xiáng tán hǎo le 。”
“罢了，这儿不是谈话之所，我们另外找一个地方详谈好了。”

Lin Xuan did not waste any more words on him. A mere Core Profound cultivator wanting to seek death, he would make it happen.
After all, this fellow didn't seem like a virtuous person at first glance. Eradicating him would be considered upholding justice.
