shī suàn le ！
失算了！
Failed miserably!
méi xiǎng dào tiān yīn xiān zi de shí lì ， dào le zhè bān dì bù 。
没想到天音仙子的实力，到了这般地步。
He hadn't expected Fairy Tianyin's strength to have reached such a level.
rú jīn zì jǐ suī rán jiāng tā de líng yù pò chú ， huàn lái le yí gè liǎng bài jù shāng de jié guǒ ， kě duì zì jǐ lái shuō ， què méi yǒu rèn hé hǎo chù 。
如今自己虽然将她的灵域破除，换来了一个两败俱伤的结果，可对自己来说，却没有任何好处。
Although he had broken through her Spirit Realm and achieved mutual destruction, it brought him no benefits at all.
zhè zhǒng qíng xíng xià ， bié shuō jiāng qín xīn jiù chū ， jiù suàn zì jǐ xiǎng yào shā chū yī tiáo xuè lù ， táo lí cǐ chù ， jī huì yì shì miǎo máng dé jǐn le 。
这种情形下，别说将琴心救出，就算自己想要杀出一条血路，逃离此处，机会亦是渺茫得紧了。
In this situation, not only could he not save Qinxin, but even if he wanted to carve his way out of here and escape, the chances were slim.
gāi zěn me bàn ne ？
该怎么办呢？
What should he do?
lín xuān yǎo le yǎo yá 。
林轩咬了咬牙。
Lin Xuan gritted his teeth. Was he really going to die here today with Qinxin as a pair of soulmates in hell?
nán dào jīn tiān jìng yào bì mìng yú cǐ ， yǔ qín xīn zuò yī duì tóng mìng yuān yāng me ？
难道今天竟要毙命于此，与琴心做一对同命鸳鸯么？
How despicable! He still had so many things to accomplish.
kě wù ， zì jǐ hái yǒu nà me duō shì qíng wèi zuò 。
可恶，自己还有那么多事情未做。
Moon's whereabouts were unknown, and Peacock was also nowhere to be found. How could Lin Xuan bear to die under these circumstances?
yuè ér zōng jì quán wú ， kǒng què yě bù zhī dào shēn zài hé chù ， zhè zhǒng qíng kuàng xià ， lín xuān zěn me kě néng gān xīn jiù sǐ ne ？
月儿踪迹全无，孔雀也不知道身在何处，这种情况下，林轩怎么可能甘心就死呢？
"Lord Husband, I'm sorry. It's all my fault."
“ fū jūn ， duì bù qǐ ， dōu shì wǒ hài de 。”
“夫君，对不起，都是我害的。”
A repentant voice entered his ears as Qinxin Tianyuan appeared beside him with a guilty expression on her beautiful face.
qiàn yì de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， ōu yáng qín xīn bù zhī hé shí lái dào le tā de shēn cè ， xiù lì de róng yán shàng mǎn shì zì zé 。
歉意的声音传入耳朵，欧阳琴心不知何时来到了他的身侧，秀丽的容颜上满是自责。
If Lord Husband hadn't come to save me, he wouldn't have ended up like this.
fū jūn ruò bú shì wèi le jiāng zì jǐ jiù chū ， bú huì luò dào zhè yī bù 。
夫君若不是为了将自己救出，不会落到这一步。
Her death was not regrettable, but how could she let the one she loved perish here?
zì jǐ sǐ bù zú xī ， kě zěn me néng ràng zì jǐ shēn ài de rén yǔn luò yú zhè lǐ 。
自己死不足惜，可怎么能让自己深爱的人陨落于这里。
Even if it meant losing her soul and body, Qinxin Tianyuan would willingly sacrifice herself for Lin Xuan's safety. But such a hypothesis was impossible.
ruò shì hún fēi pò sàn ， néng huàn lái lín xuān tuō xiǎn ， ōu yáng qín xīn háo bù yóu yù ， dàn zhè zhǒng jiǎ shè shì bù kě néng dì 。
若是魂飞魄散，能换来林轩脱险，欧阳琴心毫不犹豫，但这种假设是不可能地。
In the cultivation world, strength reigned supreme. As just a spirit realm cultivator, he had no significant use in this situation.
xiū xiān jiè shì yǐ qiáng zhě wèi zūn de ， zì jǐ zhǐ shì fēn shén jìng jiè de xiū xiān zhě ， zài zhè zhǒng qíng kuàng xià ， gēn běn jiù méi yǒu duō dà yòng chǔ 。
修仙界是以强者为尊的，自己只是分神境界的修仙者，在这种情况下，根本就没有多大用处。
"Idiot, don't blame yourself."
“ shǎ guā ， bù yòng zì zé 。”
“傻瓜，不用自责。”
Lin Xuan's comforting voice entered his ears. Despite their dire circumstances, he never regretted anything.
lín xuān ān wèi de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， jǐn guǎn rú jīn de chǔ jìng bù miào dào jí chù ， dàn tā què sī háo yě bù céng hòu huǐ guò 。
林轩安慰的声音传入耳朵，尽管如今的处境不妙到极处，但他却丝毫也不曾后悔过。
Although Moon was his most beloved woman, as a man, one couldn't be biased. Qinxin was also his wife; knowing she was in danger, Lin Xuan wouldn’t abandon her.
jǐn guǎn zì jǐ zuì ài de nǚ zǐ ， shì yuè ér méi cuò ， dàn zuò rén què bù kě yǐ piān pǒ ， qín xīn tóng yàng shì zì jǐ lǎo pó ， míng zhī dào tā yǒu wēi xiǎn lín xuān bù kě néng qì zhī bù gù 。
尽管自己最爱的女子，是月儿没错，但做人却不可以偏颇，琴心同样是自己老婆，明知道她有危险林轩不可能弃之不顾。
A true man knows when to act and when not to. Even if given another chance, he would still venture into the tiger's den to save Qinxin.
dà zhàng fū yǒu suǒ wèi ， yǒu suǒ bù wèi ， jiù suàn chóng xīn lái guò ， lín xuān yī yàng huì shēn rù lóng tán hǔ xué ， lái jiù qín xīn de 。
大丈夫有所为，有所不为，就算重新来过，林轩一样会深入龙潭虎穴，来救琴心的。
But how could they escape now?
zhǐ shì ， yǎn qián yào zěn me yàng cái néng gòu tuō xiǎn ne ？
只是，眼前要怎么样才能够脱险呢？
Even with his countless strategies, Lin Xuan found himself at a loss.
ráo shì lín xuān zhì jì bǎi chū ， cǐ shí cǐ kè ， yě wéi nán dào jí chù 。
饶是林轩智计百出，此时此刻，也为难到极处。
Meanwhile, the dazzling light from afar grew brighter.
ér zhè shāo yī dān gē ， yuǎn chù yào mù de jīng hóng yǐ shì dà zuò 。
而这稍一耽搁，远处耀目的惊虹已是大做。
"Bad luck!"
“ bù hǎo ！”
“不好！”
Lin Xuan’s expression darkened. The more he feared something, the more it came true. By breaking through Fairy Tianyin's Spirit Realm, he indeed attracted the attention of other Golden Age cultivators.
lín xuān bó rán biàn sè。
林轩勃然变sè。
He roughly counted over ten old monsters.
zhēn shì yuè pà shén me jiù yuè lái shén me 。
真是越怕什么就越来什么。
Lin Xuan's face turned even gloomier.
jiāng tiān yīn gōng zhǔ de líng yù pò chú ， guǒ rán jīng dòng le qí tā de dù jié qī lǎo guài wù 。
将天音宫主的灵域破除，果然惊动了其他的渡劫期老怪物。
With so many Golden Age cultivators, even if he remained unscathed, escape was impossible.
lín xuān cū lüè yī shù ， lǎo zhě jū rán yǒu shí yú rén zhī duō 。
林轩粗略一数，老者居然有十余人之多。
"Lord Husband..."
lín xuān de liǎn sè yuè fā yīn mái dào jí chù 。
林轩的脸sè越发yīn霾到极处。
Qinxin Tianyuan clung to his side, her eyes filled with despair. Was this really their last chance?
zhè me duō dù jié qī ， zì jǐ jiù suàn wán hǎo wú sǔn ， yě wú fǎ táo chū qù 。
这么多渡劫期，自己就算完好无损，也无法逃出去。
Lin Xuan gritted his teeth, feeling pain all over as the injuries from earlier were severe. But now wasn't the time for such concerns.
“ fū jūn ……”
“夫君……”
He would not sit and wait to die.
ōu yáng qín xīn yī wēi zài tā de shēn cè ， mù guāng yì bèi jué wàng tián mǎn ， zhè yī cì ， dàng zhēn shì chā chì nán táo me ？
欧阳琴心依偎在他的身侧，目光亦被绝望填满，这一次，当真是插翅难逃么？
Even if he and Qinxin couldn’t escape, Tianyin Sect wouldn't go lightly either; they had to make it pay a hefty price.
lín xuān yǎo le yǎo yá ， zhǐ jué hún shēn téng tòng ， gāng cái suǒ shòu de shāng fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， bù guò xiàn zài nǎ ér guǎn dé le zhè xǔ duō 。
林轩咬了咬牙，只觉浑身疼痛，刚才所受的伤非同小可，不过现在哪儿管得了这许多。
Lin Xuan's eyes flashed with ferocity. However, his gaze suddenly widened in surprise.
wú lùn rú hé ， zì jǐ yě bú huì zuò yǐ dài bì de 。
无论如何，自己也不会坐以待毙的。
"Lord Husband, what’s wrong?"
zì jǐ fū qī nán táo yǔn luò ， dàn tiān yīn gōng yě jué bú huì qīng sōng hǎo guò ， fēi ràng tā fù chū bù fēi de dài jià bù kě 。
自己夫妻难逃陨落，但天音宫也绝不会轻松好过，非让它付出不菲的代价不可。
Qinxin Tianyuan noticed Lin Xuan's unusual behavior and curiosity flickered in her eyes.
lín xuān yǎn zhōng shǎn guò hěn lì zhī sè， rán ér yǎn jīng què yī xià zi dèng yuán le 。
林轩眼中闪过狠厉之sè，然而眼睛却一下子瞪圆了。
In such dire circumstances, there was nothing left to fear. Why did Lord Husband's heart race and show that strange expression?
“ fū jūn ， zěn me le ？”
“夫君，怎么了？”
Could it be... a turn of fortune? They had a chance to escape?
ōu yáng qín xīn yě fā xiàn le lín xuān de bù tuǒ ， yǎn zhōng shǎn guò jǐ fēn hào qí zhī sè。
欧阳琴心也发现了林轩的不妥，眼中闪过几分好奇之sè。
But quickly, she shook her head, dismissing the idea.
àn lǐ shuō ， rú jīn de qíng shì ， yǐ zāo gāo dào wú yǐ fù jiā de dì bù ， gēn běn jiù méi yǒu shén me dōng xī ， zhí de hài pà le 。
按理说，如今的情势，已糟糕到无以复加的地步，根本就没有什么东西，值得害怕了。
Tianyin Sect already had all their top cultivators out. Looking around, there were over ten old monsters.
fū jūn zěn me huì xīn tiào jiā sù ， lù chū nà gǔ guài de biǎo qíng lái ne ？
夫君怎么会心跳加速，露出那古怪的表情来呢？
Facing such formidable enemies, even with three heads and six arms, Lord Husband couldn't possibly withstand them. Where was any hope?
nán dào shuō …… shì shì qíng chū xiàn yī xiàn zhuǎn jī ， tā men yǒu jī huì táo chū shēng tiān qù ？
难道说……是事情出现一线转机，他们有机会逃出生天去？
Thinking of this, Qinxin Tianyuan felt deeply sorrowful.
dàn hěn kuài tā jiù yáo yáo tóu jiāng zhè ge cāi cè fǒu dìng le 。
但很快她就摇摇头将这个猜测否定了。
But Lin Xuan's eyes sparkled with hope. Heaven wasn’t abandoning him after all.
tiān yīn gōng yǐ gāo shǒu jǐn chū ， fàng yǎn wàng qù ， zú yǒu shí yú míng dù jié qī lǎo guài wù 。
天音宫已高手尽出，放眼望去，足有十余名渡劫期老怪物。
In the crowd, he spotted Master Nai Long and his wife, as well as Fairy Hundred Flowers.
miàn duì zhè zhǒng qiáng dí ， fū jūn jiù suàn shì yǒu sān tóu liù bì ， nà yě shì jué rán dǐ dǎng bú zhù dì ， nǎ ér lái de shén me shēng jī 。
面对这种强敌，夫君就算是有三头六臂，那也是决然抵挡不住地，哪儿来的什么生机。
What a stroke of luck!
niàn jí zhì cǐ ， ōu yáng qín xīn àn rán shén shāng yǐ jí 。
念及至此，欧阳琴心黯然神伤以极。
Why would these three be here? Could they also have come to participate in the exchange meeting?
rán ér lín xuān yǎn zhōng ， què yǒu yì cǎi shǎn guò ， zhēn shì tiān bù jué wǒ 。
然而林轩眼中，却有异彩闪过，真是天不绝我。
The reasons were unknown, but Lin Xuan had good relations with Master Nai Long.
zài nà rén qún zhōng ， zì jǐ jū rán fā xiàn le nài lóng zhēn rén fū fù ， hái yǒu bǎi huā xiān zi 。
在那人群中，自己居然发现了鼐龙真人夫妇，还有百花仙子。
Nai Long's personality aside, he was very righteous and wouldn't abandon someone who needed help.
zhè hái zhēn shì jī yuán qiǎo hé 。
这还真是机缘巧合。
Lady Qianqian was also a generous cultivator; she wouldn’t just stand by and watch her savior die.
zhè sān rén zěn me huì qià hǎo lái cǐ chù ， mò fēi tā men yě shì lái cān jiā jiāo huàn huì de ？
这三人怎么会恰好来此处，莫非他们也是来参加交换会的？
As for Hundred Flowers, their bond ran deeper. If it weren't for his intervention back then, this顶级大能 might have perished.
yuán yīn bù xiǎo de ， dàn tā yǔ nài lóng zhēn rén kě shì jiāo qíng bù cuò 。
原因不晓得，但他与鼐龙真人可是交情不错。
Although Hundred Flowers had given him many benefits afterward, strictly speaking, the scores were settled.
ér nài lóng de xìng gé zàn qiě bù tí ， wéi rén kě shì shí fēn de zhàng yì 。
而鼐龙的xìng格暂且不提，为人可是十分的仗义。
But Hundred Flowers was a person who valued loyalty and pride. Even if he didn’t ask for help, she wouldn’t let her savior die without making it count.
qiān qiān xiān zi yě shì hěn háo shuǎng de xiū xiān zhě ， bú huì jiàn sǐ bù jiù de 。
芊芊仙子也是很豪爽的修仙者，不会见死不救的。
With these thoughts in mind, Lin Xuan sighed with relief.
zhì yú bǎi huā ， yuān yuán jiù gēng shēn le ， dāng nián ruò bú shì zì jǐ chū shǒu xiàng zhù ， zhè wèi líng jiè dǐng jí de dà néng shuō bù dìng yǐ jīng yǔn luò 。
至于百花，渊源就更深了，当年若不是自己出手相助，这位灵界顶级的大能说不定已经陨落。
The appearance of Nai Long and Hundred Flowers brought him hope, but this didn't mean they could turn danger into safety. He still needed to be cautious.
suī shuō bǎi huā shì hòu yě gěi le zì jǐ xǔ duō hǎo chù ， yán gé de shuō ， suàn shì liǎng qīng le 。
虽说百花事后也给了自己许多好处，严格的说，算是两清了。
With that thought, he gave Qinxin Tianyuan a subtle glance, gently holding her hand, signaling her not to worry too much.
bù guò bǎi huā shì hěn jì qíng niàn jiù de rén wù ， yòu shì yī fù jiāo ào de xìng gé ， jiù suàn zì jǐ bù chū yán qiú zhù ， wú lùn rú hé ， tā yě bú huì yǎn kàn zhe zì jǐ zhè wèi jiù mìng ēn rén mìng sàng huáng quán de ， zhè yì diǎn ， lín xuān yǒu bǎi fēn zhī bǎi de bǎ wò 。
不过百花是很记情念旧的人物，又是一副骄傲的xìng格，就算自己不出言求助，无论如何，她也不会眼看着自己这位救命恩人命丧黄泉的，这一点，林轩有百分之百的把握。
Though the process seemed complex, it took only an instant. "Puff, puff" sounds entered his ears as several streaks of light descended.
nǎo hǎi zhōng niàn tou zhuǎn guò ， lín xuān sòng le kǒu qì 。
脑海中念头转过，林轩送了口气。
"Senior Sister!"
nài lóng yǔ bǎi huā de chū xiàn ， gěi tā dài lái yī xiàn shēng jī ， bù guò zhè bìng bù dài biǎo jiù yí dìng néng gòu huà xiǎn wéi yí ， jiē xià lái ， zì jǐ hái yào xiǎo xīn yìng fù cái shì 。
鼐龙与百花的出现，给她带来一线生机，不过这并不代表就一定能够化险为夷，接下来，自己还要小心应付才是。
"Master!"
niàn jí zhì cǐ ， lín xuān cóng ōu yáng qín xīn shǐ le gè yǎn sè， qīng qīng wò zhù tā de xiǎo shǒu ， shì yì ài qī bú yào tài dān xīn le 。
念及至此，林轩从欧阳琴心使了个眼sè，轻轻握住她的小手，示意爱妻不要太担心了。
The senior elders of Tianyin Sect were shocked by the sight and immediately cared about their fellow cultivators' safety.
zhěng gè guò chéng shuō lái fán fù ， qí shí bù guò shùn xī de gōng fu ，“ pū pū pū ” de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， què shì jǐ dào dùn guāng yì qǐ jiàng luò 。
整个过程说来繁复，其实不过瞬息的功夫，“噗噗噗”的声音传入耳朵，却是几道遁光一起降落。
Nai Long's couple and Fairy Hundred Flowers also looked surprised but more so in awe.
“ dà shī jiě ！”
“大师姐！”
Nai Long’s eyes widened, his mouth wide enough to swallow an egg. "Brother Lin, are you sure? It really is you?"
“ gōng zhǔ ！”
“宫主！”
"Big Brother!"
……
……
Lin Xuan showed a hint of bitter smile, but the relief was predominant.
tiān yīn gōng tài shàng zhǎng lǎo men kàn zhe mǎn mù chuāng yí de jǐng sè， zì rán shì dà jīng shī sè， dì yī shí jiān ， guān xīn qǐ tóng mén de ān wēi lái le 。
天音宫太上长老们看着满目疮痍的景sè，自然是大惊失sè，第一时间，关心起同门的安危来了。
Nai Long's recognition meant he couldn't stand by and watch.
ér nài lóng fū fù yǔ bǎi huā xiān zi biǎo qíng yì bǐ tā men hǎo bù le bù duō ， bù guò gèng duō de shì jīng è 。
而鼐龙夫妇与百花仙子表情亦比他们好不了不多，不过更多的是惊愕。
He had indeed made the right judgment; Nai Long truly was a man with deep loyalty.
nài lóng zhēn rén dèng dà le shuāng yǎn ， zuǐ bā zhāng dé kě yǐ tūn xià yí gè jī dàn ：“ lín xiōng dì ， wǒ méi kàn cuò ba ， zhēn de shì nǐ ？”
鼐龙真人瞪大了双眼，嘴巴张得可以吞下一个鸡蛋：“林兄弟，我没看错吧，真的是你？”
"It’s you. That explains it."
“ dà gē ！”
“大哥！”
Lady Qianqian looked relieved, recalling their double cultivation ceremony where she saw Lin Xuan defeat an ancient demon in the early Golden Age stage as a spirit realm cultivator.
lín xuān liǎn shàng lù chū yī sī kǔ xiào zhī sè， bù guò xīn wèi de chéng fèn gèng duō 。
林轩脸上露出一丝苦笑之sè，不过欣慰的成分更多。
Now that he had reached mid-Golden Age, challenging late-stage beings was no surprise.
nài lóng zhēn rén kěn xiāng rèn zì jǐ ， nà yú qíng yú lǐ ， dōu bù kě néng xiù shǒu páng gù 。
鼐龙真人肯相认自己，那于情于理，都不可能袖手旁顾。
However, Lin Xuan's rapid progress was astonishing. Only how many years had passed for him to become his peer?
zì jǐ guǒ rán méi yǒu kàn cuò ， nài lóng zhēn rén guǒ rán shì yì qì shēn zhòng de xiū xiān zhě 。
自己果然没有看错，鼐龙真人果然是义气深重的修仙者。
No one before or after could match such speed of cultivation. Even the ancient Arrogant King might not have matched it.
“ shì nǐ ， zhè jiù nán guài le 。”
“是你，这就难怪了。”
Hundred Flowers was equally surprised. The cunning True Dragon Immortal had self-destructed, and if not for Lin Xuan's help, she would have lost her realm.
qiān qiān xiān zi zé lù chū liǎo rán zhī sè， dāng nián ， tā yǔ nài lóng zhēn rén jǔ xíng shuāng xiū dà diǎn ， jiù céng jiàn guò lín xuān chū shǒu ， yǐ fēn shén qī de shēn fèn ， miè shā le yī dù jié chū qī de gǔ mó 。
芊芊仙子则露出了然之sè，当年，她与鼐龙真人举行双修大典，就曾见过林轩出手，以分神期的身份，灭杀了一渡劫初期的古魔。
Such a debt was always remembered.
rú jīn tā yǐ shì dù jié zhōng qī de xiū xiān zhě ， néng gòu tiǎo zhàn hòu qī cún zài ， nà yě jiù bù zú guài 。
如今他已是渡劫中期的修仙者，能够挑战后期存在，那也就不足怪。
For Lin Xuan, naturally, he left an impression.
bù guò huà shì zhè me shuō ， lín xuān de xiū liàn sù dù ， yě wèi miǎn tài guò jīng shì hài sú ， zhè cái duō shǎo nián guò qù ， tā jiù chéng wéi zì jǐ de tóng jiē cún zài le 。
不过话是这么说，林轩的修炼速度，也未免太过惊世骇俗，这才多少年过去，他就成为自己的同阶存在了。
But back then, he was only at the spirit realm stage. How could he reach such a level in just a few years?
qiān qiān xiān zi jīng è ， yī páng bǎi huā xiān zi de gǎn chù ， yòu hé cháng bú shì rú cǐ ne ？
芊芊仙子惊愕，一旁百花仙子的感触，又何尝不是如此呢？
Unprecedented before and after, even the ancient Arrogant King might not have matched his speed of cultivation.
nà jiǎo huá de jīn yuè zhēn chán ， jū rán zì bào le zhēn líng běn yuán ， ruò bú shì lín xuān chū shǒu xiàng zhù ， tā jiù suàn bù yǔn luò ， yě fēi jìng jiè diào luò 。
那狡猾的金玥真蟾，居然自爆了真灵本源，若不是林轩出手相助，她就算不陨落，也非境界掉落。
Hundred Flowers couldn’t help but release her divine sense to confirm it was indeed Lin Xuan, the young man who saved her long ago. (To be continued.)
Failed miserably!
He hadn't expected Fairy Tianyin's strength to have reached such a level.
Although he had broken through her Spirit Realm and achieved mutual destruction, it brought him no benefits at all.
In this situation, not only could he not save Qinxin, but even if he wanted to carve his way out of here and escape, the chances were slim.
What should he do?
Lin Xuan gritted his teeth. Was he really going to die here today with Qinxin as a pair of soulmates in hell?
How despicable! He still had so many things to accomplish.
Moon's whereabouts were unknown, and Peacock was also nowhere to be found. How could Lin Xuan bear to die under these circumstances?
"Lord Husband, I'm sorry. It's all my fault."
A repentant voice entered his ears as Qinxin Tianyuan appeared beside him with a guilty expression on her beautiful face.
If Lord Husband hadn't come to save me, he wouldn't have ended up like this.
Her death was not regrettable, but how could she let the one she loved perish here?
Even if it meant losing her soul and body, Qinxin Tianyuan would willingly sacrifice herself for Lin Xuan's safety. But such a hypothesis was impossible.
In the cultivation world, strength reigned supreme. As just a spirit realm cultivator, he had no significant use in this situation.
"Idiot, don't blame yourself."
Lin Xuan's comforting voice entered his ears. Despite their dire circumstances, he never regretted anything.
Although Moon was his most beloved woman, as a man, one couldn't be biased. Qinxin was also his wife; knowing she was in danger, Lin Xuan wouldn’t abandon her.
A true man knows when to act and when not to. Even if given another chance, he would still venture into the tiger's den to save Qinxin.
But how could they escape now?
Even with his countless strategies, Lin Xuan found himself at a loss.
Meanwhile, the dazzling light from afar grew brighter.
"Bad luck!"
Lin Xuan’s expression darkened. The more he feared something, the more it came true. By breaking through Fairy Tianyin's Spirit Realm, he indeed attracted the attention of other Golden Age cultivators.
He roughly counted over ten old monsters.
Lin Xuan's face turned even gloomier.
With so many Golden Age cultivators, even if he remained unscathed, escape was impossible.

Qinxin Tianyuan clung to his side, her eyes filled with despair. Was this really their last chance?
Lin Xuan gritted his teeth, feeling pain all over as the injuries from earlier were severe. But now wasn't the time for such concerns.
