..bsp;念及至此，林轩松了口气，转而抬起头颅：“清儿，那你又是怎么认识我，莫非琴心以前曾对你说过？”
Recalling this, Lin Xuan let out a sigh of relief. He then raised his head and said to Qing'er, "Qing'er, how did you recognize me? Could it be that Qinxin ever mentioned you before?"
“ bù cuò ， qín xīn jiě jiě bù jǐn céng tí qǐ guò nǐ ， xián xiá zhī yú ， shèn zhì huán gěi xiǎo mèi kàn guò dà gē nǐ de huà xiàng dì 。”
“不错，琴心姐姐不仅曾提起过你，闲暇之余，甚至还给小妹看过大哥你的画像地。”
"Indeed, not only has Qinxin spoken of you, but she also showed me your portrait during her free time."
shào nǚ wēi xiào de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， jīng guò zhè yī duàn shí jiān de jiē chù ， tā yǐ jīng zhī dào lín xuān shì xìng gé hé ǎi de xiū xiān zhě ， bù zài nà yàng jū shù 。
少女微笑的声音传入耳朵，经过这一段时间的接触，她已经知道林轩是性格和蔼的修仙者，不再那样拘束。
Qing'er's smiling voice entered Lin Xuan's ears. After getting to know him for some time, he had realized that Qing'er was a kind-hearted cultivator and no longer felt constrained around her.
suí hòu liǎng rén yòu liáo le yī xiē bié de 。
随后两人又聊了一些别的 。
The two continued chatting about other matters.
cóng cǐ nǚ de zuǐ lǐ ， lín xuān duì yú tiān yīn jiè yě suàn yǒu le yí gè dà gài de rèn shí 。
从此女的嘴里，林轩对于天音界也算有了一个大概的认识。
From this girl’s words, Lin Xuan gained an understanding of the Heavenly Sound Realm. The realm was vast, not inferior in any way to the Dragon Ridge Realm. Various heavenly treasures and earthly treasures were countless, and the aura of essence qi was so thick that it could be felt everywhere. Countless cultivation sects and scattered cultivators thrived, similar to the Dragon Ridge Realm.
gāi jiè miàn jī guǎng kuò ， yì diǎn yě bù bǐ nài lóng jiè xùn sè 。
该界面积广阔，一点也不比鼐龙界逊色。
The only difference might lie with the Heavenly Sound Palace itself. Unlike ordinary sects, this palace was a massive entity. Apart from its main headquarters, there were over a thousand branches spread across every corner of the realm. Skilled cultivators abounded; even one senior elder who had successfully transcended the Tribulation Stage was considered extraordinary. However, in the Heavenly Sound Palace, there were numerous terrifying figures at the late Tribulation Stage, and many other senior elders remained unknown.
gè zhǒng tiān cái dì bǎo shǔ bù shèng shǔ ， líng qì yě nóng yù dào wú yǐ fù jiā de dì bù 。
各种天材地宝数不胜数，灵气也浓郁到无以复加的地步。
Other cultivators of various ranks numbered in the millions. This only counted the formal disciples of the palace; uncounted were its affiliated forces.
dà dà xiǎo xiǎo de xiū xiān mén pài gèng shì nán yǐ jì shù ， xiū xiān jiā zú ， sàn xiū yě hěn fán róng ， zhè zhǒng qíng kuàng ， yǔ nài lóng jiè xiāng chà fǎngfo。
大大小小的修仙门派更是难以计数，修仙家族，散修也很繁荣，这种情况，与鼐龙界相差fǎngfo。
Lin Xuan could not help but take a deep breath when he heard what Valley Qing said. Although he knew the Heavenly Sound Palace was formidable, he never imagined it would reach such an extent. It seemed that to teach the Virtuous Sound Fairy and rescue Qinxin would require more effort than expected.
ruò shuō wéi yī de bù tóng ， kǒng pà jiù shì tiān yīn gōng 。
若说唯一的不同，恐怕就是天音宫。
However, Lin Xuan only felt a bit of trouble; his face showed no signs of discouragement.
yǔ yì bān de mén pài bù tóng ， tiān yīn gōng nǎi shì zhēn zhèng de páng rán dà wù 。
与一般的门派不同，天音宫乃是真正的庞然大物。
"Events are in our hands," he thought. "Even with all these dangers, my wife must be saved."
chú le zǒng duò ， guāng gè dì de fēn tán jiù yǒu shàng qiān zhī duō ， jī hū biàn jí zhěng gè tiān yīn jiè de měi yí gè jiǎo luò 。
除了总舵，光各地的分坛就有上千之多，几乎遍及整个天音界的每一个角落。
Since embarking on the path of cultivation, Lin Xuan had faced countless trials and tribulations but never once bowed to difficulties.
gāo shǒu rú yún ， yì bān de míng mén dà pài ， yǒu yī wèi dù jié qī de tài shàng zhǎng lǎo jiù yǐ shí fēn liǎo de 。
高手如云，一般的名门大派，有一位渡劫期的太上长老就已十分了得。
However, this matter could not be rushed; it required careful planning. Lin Xuan was no impulsive cultivator, and such an important matter needed thorough consideration before acting.
rán ér zài tiān yīn gōng ， guāng shì dù jié hòu qī de kě pà cún zài jiù bù zhǐ yí gè ， zhì yú qí tā de tài shàng zhǎng lǎo yǒu hǎo duō ， zé gēn běn méi yǒu rén xiǎo de 。
然而在天音宫，光是渡劫后期的可怕存在就不止一个，至于其他的太上长老有好多，则根本没有人晓得。
With his mind made up, he turned to Qing'er and said, "Qing'er, what are your plans now?"
zhì yú qí tā de děng jiē de xiū xiān zhě ， gèng shì nán yǐ jì shù ， cū lüè gū jì ， zhǐ pà yǒu bǎi wàn zhī duō 。
至于其他的等阶的修仙者，更是难以计数，粗略估计，只怕有百万之多。
Lin Xuan did not worry about the information leaking out. With his divine sense, he could confirm that within a ten-thousand-mile radius, there was no other cultivator present. The Heavenly Sound Palace had many eyes and ears, but trying to gather information from under his nose would be as futile as a dream.
zhù yì ， zhè hái jǐn jǐn shì tiān yīn gōng de zhèng shì dì zǐ ， ér méi yǒu jì suàn qí fù shǔ shì lì 。
注意，这还仅仅是天音宫的正式弟子，而没有计算其附属势力。
He felt confident enough for this reason, so Lin Xuan did not worry at all. "Originally, I was out traveling, and now that I have informed you of the situation, naturally, I will continue with my original plans."
lín xuān tīng gǔ qīng shuō dào zhè lǐ ， yě bù yóu de dào xī yī kǒu liáng qì 。
林轩听谷清说到这里，也不由得倒吸一口凉气。
Lin Xuan nodded in agreement. As the Supreme Elder of Cloud Concealment Sect, although he usually didn't get involved in mundane affairs, he couldn't be ignorant of some sect rules.
zì jǐ suī rán zhī dào tiān yīn gōng fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， dàn zuò mèng yě bù céng xiǎng ， jū rán dào le zhè bān dì bù 。
自己虽然知道天音宫非同小可，但做梦也不曾想，居然到了这般地步。
Cultivators traveling for experience was a common practice, offering both opportunities to gain knowledge and seek out chances.
kàn lái xiǎng yào jiào xùn miào yīn xiān zi ， jiāng qín xīn jiù chū ， hái xū duō fèi yì bān bō zhé 。
看来想要教训妙音仙子，将琴心救出，还需多费一般波折。
"Since that is the case, elder brother will not disturb you."
dàn lín xuān yě jǐn shì gǎn jué yǒu jǐ fēn má fán ér yǐ ， liǎn shàng bìng wú qì něi zhī yì 。
但林轩也仅是感觉有几分麻烦而已，脸上并无气馁之意。
As Lin Xuan spoke, he extended his hand, and a flash of light appeared before him, revealing a storage bag. "Inside are some medicinal pills and treasures, as well as several ten-thousand-mile talismans. Qing'er, please keep them safe. If there is any change in the situation, we can still communicate."
shì zài rén wéi 。
事在人为。
This time, Valley Qing did not refuse. Lin Xuan was a straightforward cultivator, and these items were incredibly valuable to him. However, from the perspective of an old master who had transcended the Tribulation Stage, they held no significance.
yǒu zài duō de wēi xiǎn yòu rú hé ， lǎo pó kěn dìng shì yào jiù de 。
有再多的危险又如何，老婆肯定是要救的。
Of course, she remained deeply grateful, expressing her thanks repeatedly.
lín xuān zì cóng tà shàng xiū xiān zhī lù ， jīng lì de jiān nán xiǎn zǔ shǔ bù shèng shǔ 。 ér tā hái cóng lái méi yǒu xiàng kùn nán dī tóu guò 。
林轩自从踏上修仙之路，经历的艰难险阻数不胜数。而他还从来没有像困难低头过。
...
bù guò cǐ shì bù néng cāo zhī guò jí 。 bì xū cóng cháng jì yì 。
不过此事不能操之过急。必须从长计议。
The two parted ways after their conversation.
lín xuān kě bú shì chōng dòng de xiū xiān zhě ， zhè jiàn shì qíng gèng shì fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， kěn dìng yào móu dìng ér hòu dòng de 。
林轩可不是冲动的修仙者，这件事情更是非同小可，肯定要谋定而后动的。
Watching the girl's back disappear, Lin Xuan sighed but quickly became grim. He would not let the Virtuous Sound Fairy or Qinxin go unpunished. However, how should he approach such a formidable entity?
niàn jí zhì cǐ ， lín xuān xīn zhōng yǐ yǒu jì jiào le ， yú shì tā zhuǎn guò tóu lú ：“ qīng ér ， nǐ jiē xià lái ， yǒu shén me dǎ suàn ne ？”
念及至此，林轩心中已有计较了，于是他转过头颅：“清儿，你接下来，有什么打算呢？”
Lin Xuan was known for his quick thinking, but in this moment, he struggled to find a solution.
lín xuān dào bìng bù dān xīn xiāo xī zǒu lòu 。
林轩倒并不担心消息走漏。
Fortunately, there was no need to rush. Lin Xuan flew aimlessly forward. The Heavenly Sound Realm was vast, and the area ahead was deserted. He did not feel rushed as he thought of strategies while flying.
yǐ tā de shén shí 。 kě yǐ què dìng ， fāng yuán wàn lǐ ， yě jué bú huì yǒu dì sān míng xiū xiān zhě 。
以他的神识。可以确定，方圆万里，也绝不会有第三名修仙者。
Before long, half a day had passed. As the sun set behind the hill, darkness enveloped the sky.
tiān yīn gōng suī ěr mù zhòng duō ， dàn xiǎng yào cóng zì jǐ yǎn pí dǐ xià dǎ tàn xiāo xī ， nà yě shì chī rén shuō mèng 。
天音宫虽耳目众多，但想要从自己眼皮底下打探消息，那也是痴人说梦。
The moon shone brightly, and stars were few and far between. Lin Xuan's face showed some hesitation; should he continue his journey or find a place to rest for the night?
zhè diǎn xìn xīn hái shì yǒu 。
这点信心还是有。
This was not an easy decision, but soon Lin Xuan burst into laughter.
suǒ yǐ lín xuān sī háo dān xīn yě wú 。
所以林轩丝毫担心也无。
Such trivial matters, why bother? He decided to spend the night here, eating in the open air and sleeping under the stars.
“ xiǎo mèi yuán běn jiù shì wài chū yóu lì de ， rú jīn yǐ jiāng xiāo xī gào sù dà gē 。 zì rán shì yuán lái dǎ suàn gàn shén me ， jiù jiē zhe gàn shén me 。”
“小妹原本就是外出游历的，如今已将消息告诉大哥。自然是原来打算干什么，就接着干什么。”
With that, Lin Xuan's figure vanished as he flew towards a nearby mountain range.
lín xuān diǎn diǎn tóu 。
林轩点点头。
...
zuò wèi yún yǐn zōng tài shàng zhǎng lǎo ， tā suī rán yí xiàng bù guǎn sú wù ， dàn yī xiē zōng mén nèi de guī jǔ yòu zěn me kě néng bù qingchu。
做为云隐宗太上长老，他虽然一向不管俗务，但一些宗门内的规矩又怎么可能不qingchu。
Soon they arrived. Lin Xuan waved his sleeve, and a sword light shot out from it.
xiū xíng dào le yí dìng jìng jiè de xiū xiān zhě ， wài chū yóu lì nà shì zài zhèng cháng bù guò 。
修行到了一定境界的修仙者，外出游历那是再正常不过。
Sizzle…
zhè yàng zuò ， jì yǒu zēng zhǎng yuè lì de hǎo chù ， tóng shí ， hái kě yǐ xún mì dào yī xiē jī yuán de 。 kě wèi yī jǔ liǎng dé 。
这样做，既有增长阅历的好处，同时，还可以寻觅到一些机缘的。可谓一举两得。
Rock fragments flew, and a large hole appeared on the mountain wall. Without hesitation, Lin Xuan entered.
“ jì rú cǐ 。 wèi xiōng yě jiù bù dǎ rǎo nǐ le 。”
“既如此。为兄也就不打扰你了。”
For just one night of rest, Lin Xuan did not bother to establish a cave dwelling; any cave would suffice for sheltering him from wind and rain.
lín xuān yī biān shuō ， yī biān shēn shǒu yī pāi 。 líng guāng yī shǎn ， yí gè chǔ wù dài yìng rù yǎn lián 。
林轩一边说，一边伸手一拍。灵光一闪，一个储物袋映入眼帘。
He then released another sword light, crafting a stone bed where he lay down and fell into deep sleep.
“ lǐ miàn yǒu yī xiē dān yào bǎo wù ， hái yǒu jǐ zhāng wàn lǐ fú ， qīng ér nǐ qiě shōu hǎo ， ruò yǒu xiāo xī biàn gù ， wǒ men yě hǎo suí shí lián luò 。”
“里面有一些丹药宝物，还有几张万里符，清儿你且收好，若有消息变故，我们也好随时联络。”
...
zhè yī cì ， gǔ qīng méi yǒu tuī tuō 。
这一次，谷清没有推脱。
Unbeknownst to him, it was late at night. Suddenly, Lin Xuan's brows furrowed as his eyes opened wide.
lín xuān shì hěn shuǎng kuài de xiū xiān zhě ， ér qiě zhè xiē dōng xī ， zài zì jǐ kàn lái ， gù rán bǎo guì yǐ jí ， dàn zài dù jié qī lǎo zǔ de yǎn lǐ ， què méi yǒu shén me liǎo bù qǐ 。
林轩是很爽快的修仙者，而且这些东西，在自己看来，固然宝贵以极，但在渡劫期老祖的眼里，却没有什么了不起。
"Interesting, such a remote place, yet there are cultivators engaged in combat, and the level is not low."
dāng rán ， cǐ nǚ duì lín xuān yī jiù shí fēn gǎn jī ， kǒu zhōng chēng xiè bù yǐ 。
当然，此女对林轩依旧十分感激，口中称谢不已。
Lin Xuan sensed the chaotic essence qi in the air, showing a strange expression on his face.
……
……
"I'll just check it out. After all, I've been woken up; watching some spectacle might be interesting."
suí hòu liǎng rén fēn shǒu lí qù 。
随后两人分手离去。
Lin Xuan's voice echoed as he emitted a faint green glow, flying towards the most jarring area of the essence qi fluctuations.
wàng zhe shào nǚ de bèi yǐng xiāo shī ， lín xuān tàn le kǒu qì ， dàn hěn kuài biǎo qíng jiù biàn dé yīn chén wú bǐ 。
望着少女的背影消失，林轩叹了口气，但很快表情就变得阴沉无比。
With his current speed, covering several tens of thousands of miles was nothing but an instant trip.
miào yīn xiān zi zì jǐ jué bú huì fàng guò 。
妙音仙子自己绝不会放过。
Lin Xuan did not reveal himself immediately. He first used concealment techniques to hide and observe what was happening.
qín xīn yě yí dìng yào jiù de 。
琴心也一定要救的。
However, the scene before him left him stunned.
kě tiān yīn gōng zhè yàng de páng rán dà wù ， zì jǐ gāi cóng hé chù zhuó shǒu ne ？
可天音宫这样的庞然大物，自己该从何处着手呢？
He had thought it would be a cultivator battle, but instead, he saw several fierce beasts. Some had lion bodies with wolf heads, others resembled wild bulls with wings on their backs, and there were over a hundred-foot-long snakes.
lín xuān suàn shì hěn yǒu jí zhì de xiū xiān zhě ， rán ér yī shí piàn kè ， yě kǔ wú liáng cè 。
林轩算是很有急智的修仙者，然而一时片刻，也苦无良策。
The three beasts seemed unable to transform into human form, yet their strength was formidable, not inferior to late Profound Concealment cultivators.
hǎo zài cǐ shì dào yě bù yòng tài zháo jí ， lín xuān màn wú mù dì de xiàng qián fēi qù 。
好在此事倒也不用太着急，林轩漫无目的的向前飞去。
However, the enemy of these terrifying beasts was just one young maiden. She looked no more than twenty years old, with snow-white silk clothing that accentuated her ethereal appearance. Her face was also quite beautiful; she wielded a short sword about a foot long, dancing deftly against several fierce beasts' attacks without losing ground. (To be continued...)
Recalling this, Lin Xuan let out a sigh of relief. He then raised his head and said to Qing'er, "Qing'er, how did you recognize me? Could it be that Qinxin ever mentioned you before?"
"Indeed, not only has Qinxin spoken of you, but she also showed me your portrait during her free time."
Qing'er's smiling voice entered Lin Xuan's ears. After getting to know him for some time, he had realized that Qing'er was a kind-hearted cultivator and no longer felt constrained around her.
The two continued chatting about other matters.
