田小剑听得是云里雾里，这一段话中不知道包含着多么隐秘，他虽然心中也有些好奇，但这些事情毕竟与他没有什么关系，当务之急，是赶快离开这里，所以也没有时间细细探听下去。
Field Junior Sword listened intently but remained confused. The secrets contained in this conversation were too profound for him to fathom. Although he felt some curiosity, these matters had nothing to do with him directly. His immediate concern was to leave as soon as possible, so there wasn't time to delve deeper.
hé kuàng jiù suàn wèn ， duì fāng yě bù yí dìng kěn shuō 。
何况就算问，对方也不一定肯说。
Moreover, even if he asked, the other party might not be willing to reveal anything.
bié kàn tā yǔ mó zú dà tǒng lǐng xiāng chǔ bù cuò ， dàn guī gēn jié dǐ ， bù guò shì hù xiāng lì yòng bà le ， miàn duì wēi jī ， bù nán tóng xīn xié lì ， dàn yào tā men bǐ cǐ jiāo xīn ， zé wán quán méi yǒu nà ge kě néng xìng 。 zhè dào lǐ ， tián xiǎo jiàn xīn lǐ yǒu shù ， suǒ yǐ bù gāi wèn de ， tā yī jù yě bú huì duō tí 。
别看他与魔族大统领相处不错，但归根结底，不过是互相利用罢了，面对危机，不难同心协力，但要他们彼此交心，则完全没有那个可能性。这道理，田小剑心里有数，所以不该问的，他一句也不会多提。
Though he got along well with the Demon Lord Commander, at root, they were merely using each other. In times of crisis, they could cooperate, but for them to truly open their hearts was impossible. This principle was clear in Field Junior Sword's mind, so he wouldn't ask about what didn’t concern him.
“ chā fù ， nǐ jiù shuō shuō ， zhè cì wǒ men miàn duì de tiān mó jiàn shì shén me ？”
“叉父，你就说说，这次我们面对的天魔剑是什么？”
"Father, tell me—what is the Heavenly Demon Sword we face this time?"
“ tiān mó jiàn ， zì rán yě shì shí dà mó qì zhī yī ， ér qiě tā de shǐ yòng zhě ， jí biàn zài tiān wài mó jūn zhōng ， yě hè hè yǒu míng ， dāng nián chuǎng rù líng jiè de yù wài tiān mó ， jù shuō shù liàng yě shì jí duō ， líng jiè zuì hòu suī rán jiāng tā men miè chú ， dàn sǔn shī yě fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， ér tiān mó jiàn de shǐ yòng zhě ， zài nà xiē yù wài tiān mó zhōng ， yě kān chēng shǔ yī shǔ èr de qiáng zhě 。” mó zú dà tǒng lǐng de liǎn shàng dài zhe níng zhòng zhī sè ， xiǎn rán nà yàng de dí rén ， biàn shì tā ， yě bù gǎn yǒu fēn háo xiǎo shì zhī xīn 。
“天魔剑，自然也是十大魔器之一，而且它的使用者，即便在天外魔君中，也赫赫有名，当年闯入灵界的域外天魔，据说数量也是极多，灵界最后虽然将他们灭除，但损失也非同小可，而天魔剑的使用者，在那些域外天魔中，也堪称数一数二的强者。”魔族大统领的脸上带着凝重之色，显然那样的敌人，便是他，也不敢有分毫小视之心。
"The Heavenly Demon Sword naturally belongs among the Ten Great Demon Artifacts. Its user is also renowned even among the Heavenly Outer Demon Lords. According to legend, many域外天魔 once invaded the Spirit Realm, but although they were ultimately eradicated by the Spirit Realm, their loss was significant. The users of the Heavenly Demon Swords among those域外天魔 were undoubtedly among the strongest," said the Demon Lord Commander with a serious expression. Clearly, such an enemy wouldn't be taken lightly.
“ ó ， nà tā jiào shén me ， yì fù kě xiǎo de ？” tīng duì fāng zhè me shuō ， tián xiǎo jiàn de liǎn shàng yì lù chū guān zhù zhī sè 。
“哦，那她叫什么，义父可晓得？”听对方这么说，田小剑的脸上亦露出关注之色。
"Oh? What is her name then, Father?" Field Junior Sword's face showed concern as he asked this.
“ wǒ suī rán bù céng yǔ tā jiāo shǒu guò ， dàn cǐ nǚ míng qì jí dà dào yě yǒu tīng shuō ， hǎo xiàng …” hǎo xiàng jiào yún zhōng xiān zi 。”
“我虽然不曾与她交手过，但此女名气极大倒也有听说，好像…”好像叫云中仙子。”
"I have never faced her in battle, but I’ve heard of her reputation. She seems to be..." Cloud Fairy, perhaps?
“ duì ， jiù shì yún zhōng xiān zi méi cuò 。”
“对，就是云中仙子没错。”
"Correct, it’s Cloud Fairy."
kě xī zhè yī fān huà ， lín xuān shì bù céng yù wén de 。
可惜这一番话，林轩是不曾与闻的。
Unfortunately, Lin Xuan was not privy to this conversation.
hé kuàng jiù suàn néng tīng dào ， yě zhǐ huì zēng tiān gèng duō de yí huò 。
何况就算能听到，也只会增添更多的疑惑。
Even if he had been able to hear, the added confusion would only have worsened his situation.
qín yán ， shí zhēn de shì tā me ？
秦妍，时真的是她么？
Was Qin Yan truly she?
zǎo zài zài piāo yún gǔ de shí hòu ， tā jiù chuǎng chū zhè ge míng hào le 。
早在在飘云谷的时候，她就闯出这个名号了。
Back in Drifting Cloud Valley, she had already earned that reputation. At that time, she hadn’t even established her foundation, and there was no way she could be involved with the域外天魔 ravaging the Spirit Realm. No one would have such a vivid imagination.
nà shí hòu ， tā shèn zhì shàng wèi zhù jī ， yǔ sì lüè líng jiè de yù wài tiān mó ， zhe shí qiān chě bú dào yì qǐ 。 rèn shuí ， yě bú huì yǒu rú cǐ fēng fù de xiǎng xiàng lì 。
那时候，她甚至尚未筑基，与肆掠灵界的域外天魔，着实牵扯不到一起。任谁，也不会有如此丰富的想象力。
So, was this all just coincidence or was it fate?
nà me zhè yī qiè jiū jìng shì qiǎo hé ， hái shì míng míng zhōng zì yǒu tiān yì 。
那么这一切究竟是巧合，还是冥冥中自有天意。
No one knew for sure. At least to Lin Xuan, everything remained unclear.
kǒng pà méi yǒu rén qīng chǔ 。
恐怕没有人清楚。
"Why do you do this even though you remember me?" Lin Xuan's voice showed no emotion, but his heart was anything but calm.
zhì shǎo cǐ kè ， lín xuān shì yún lǐ wù lǐ de 。
至少此刻，林轩是云里雾里的。
...
“ nǐ jì rán hái jì de wǒ ， wèi hé zhè me zuò ？” lín xuān de shēng yīn ， sī háo bō lán yě wú ， dàn tā de nèi xīn ， què shì yì diǎn yě bù píng jìng 。
“你既然还记得我，为何这么做？”林轩的声音，丝毫波澜也无，但他的内心，却是一点也不平静。
Meeting an old acquaintance in such a way was truly unpleasant.
gù rén xiāng jù ， yǐ zhè yàng de fāng shì ， zhe shí lìng rén bù yú kuài yǐ jí 。
故人相聚，以这样的方式，着实令人不愉快以极。
"Why?"
“ wèi hé ？”
“为何？”
Kuin Yan smiled: "The moment I regained my memories, it was destined that I must do so. However, involving Daoist Lin in this is purely by chance. I never expected the layout of this would bring you to the Ten Thousand Mountains."
qín yán xiào le ：“ dāng wǒ zhǎo huí jì yì de yī kè ， jiù zhù dìng le bì xū zhè me zuò ， bù guò huì jiāng lín dào yǒu qiān chě jìn lái ， dǎo shì yí gè yì wài ， wǒ yě méi xiǎng dào ， zhè cì de bù jú ， huì jiāng nǐ yě yǐn dào shí wàn dà shān lǐ 。”
秦妍笑了：“当我找回记忆的一刻，就注定了必须这么做，不过会将林道友牵扯进来，倒是一个意外，我也没想到，这次的布局，会将你也引到十万大山里。”
"Layout?"
“ bù jú ？”
“布局？”
"Yes, Daoist Lin, don’t you find something peculiar about this space?"
“ bù cuò ， lín dào yǒu bù jué dé zhè lǐ de kōng jiān ， yǒu xiē tè shū 。”
“不错，林道友不觉得这里的空间，有些特殊。”
"Special, are you referring to spatial nodes?"
“ tè shū ， nǐ shì shuō kōng jiān jié diǎn me ？”
“特殊，你是说空间节点么？”
To be honest, Lin Xuan didn't feel any discomfort, but given what the other party had done, it was easy to guess.
píng xīn lái shuō ， lín xuān bìng méi yǒu gǎn jué dào bù tuǒ ， dàn duì fāng jì rán zhè me zuò ， nà jiù yì diǎn yě bù nán cāi cè 。
平心来说，林轩并没有感觉到不妥，但对方既然这么做，那就一点也不难猜测。
"Brother Lin's intelligence hasn't changed. It will make our conversation much more straightforward. Let’s say this is a reunion of old friends. If you two can do one thing for me, we’ll call it quits," Kuin Yan said after some thought.
“ lín xiōng de cōng míng guǒ rán bù céng biàn guò ， hé nǐ shuō huà yě yào shěng shì ér xǔ duō ， zhè yàng ba ， gù rén chóng féng ， qiè shēn yě bù xiǎng hé liǎng wèi nào dào bīng róng xiāng jiàn de chéng dù ， ruò nǐ men yǒu yī jiàn shì qíng yī wǒ ， wǒ men jiù bà shǒu rú hé ？” qín yán lüè yī sī suǒ ， rú cǐ zhè bān de kāi kǒu le 。
“林兄的聪明果然不曾变过，和你说话也要省事儿许多，这样吧，故人重逢，妾身也不想和两位闹到兵戎相见的程度，若你们有一件事情依我，我们就罢手如何？”秦妍略一思索，如此这般的开口了。
Lin Xuan was curious about what the other party intended.
“ nǐ shuō liù lín xuān xīn zhōng hào qí ， duì fāng jiū jìng zài dǎ shén me zhǔ yì 。
“你说六林轩心中好奇，对方究竟在打什么主意。
Kuin Yan's thoughts were clear and her consciousness was obviously alert. Her appearance didn’t suggest she had been possessed or taken over by someone else. So, how could recovering her memories hide such a secret? Could this woman be like Moon, reborn as some great figure?
qín yán de sī lù qīng xī ， yì shí yě míng xiǎn shì qīng xǐng dì ， tā de yàng zi ， zhe shí bù xiàng bèi shén me duó shě ， zhàn jù le shēn qū ， nà me huī fù jì yì ， yòu yǒu zhe zěn yàng de yǐn mì 。 nán bù chéng cǐ nǚ hái yǔ yuè ér xiāng chà fǎng fú ， shì shén me dà rén wù tóu tāi zhuǎn shì ？
秦妍的思路清晰，意识也明显是清醒地，她的样子，着实不像被什么夺舍，占据了身躯，那么恢复记忆，又有着怎样的隐秘。难不成此女还与月儿相差仿佛，是什么大人物投胎转世？
Despite the current crisis, Lin Xuan wasn't bothered by listening to more of what she had to say. He wanted to uncover the truth. There was something between him and Kuin Yan that couldn’t be easily let go, though it remained vague. Otherwise, he would have acted immediately without hesitation.
suī rán cǐ kè xíng shì wēi jī ， dàn lín xuān yě bù jiè yì duō tīng tā shuō shàng jǐ jù 。 tā xiǎng yào nòng qīng chǔ mí dǐ 。 tā yǔ qín yán zhī jiān ， dào dǐ yǒu yī xiē gē shě bù diào de qíng yì ， suī méng lóng ， dàn què shì 〖 zhēn 〗 shí dì ， fǒu zé ， lín xuān nǎ ér guǎn shén me sān qī èr shí yī ， kěn dìng xiān chū shǒu ， xiǎng bàn fǎ jiāng duì fāng miè le qù 。
虽然此刻形势危机，但林轩也不介意多听她说上几句。他想要弄清楚谜底。他与秦妍之间，到底有一些割舍不掉的情意，虽朦胧，但却是〖真〗实地，否则，林轩哪儿管什么三七二十一，肯定先出手，想办法将对方灭了去。
Kuin Yan’s face showed satisfaction as she spoke: "Brother Lin, don't worry about this. These two Heavenly Demon Pills are sacred treasures of our clan. After consuming them, you can become a域外天魔, but unlike possession, your memories and personality won’t change."
qín yán tīng le ， liǎn shàng lù chū mǎn yì zhī sè 。 yě bù duō shuō ， yù shǒu yī fú ， yí gè yù píng fēi lüè ér chū ， bá kāi píng sāi ， dào chū liǎng lì wū hēi fà liàng de dān wán 。
秦妍听了，脸上露出满意之色。也不多说，玉手一拂，一个玉瓶飞掠而出，拔开瓶塞，倒出两粒乌黑发亮的丹丸。
"What? You’re a域外天魔?"
“ zhè ” lín xuān tóng kǒng wēi suō ， yǐ tā jiàn shí guǎng bó ， yě kàn bù chū zhè líng yào de lái lì chū chǔ 。 sì hū kàn chū le liǎng rén de jīng yí ， qín yán wēi xiào de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ lǐ ：“ lín xiōng ， nǐ bù yòng duō xīn zài yì ， zhè liǎng lì tiān mó dān ， nǎi běn zú de shèng wù ， fú xià yǐ hòu ， liǎng wèi kě yǐ chéng wéi yù wài tiān mó ， dàn zhè bù tóng yú duó shě ， liǎng wèi de jì yì ， xìng gé ， dōu bú huì yǒu rèn hé gǎi biàn de 。”
“这”林轩瞳孔微缩，以他见识广博，也看不出这灵药的来历出处。似乎看出了两人的惊疑，秦妍微笑的声音传入耳朵里：“林兄，你不用多心在意，这两粒天魔丹，乃本族的圣物，服下以后，两位可以成为域外天魔，但这不同于夺舍，两位的记忆，性格，都不会有任何改变的。”
Although he had guessed as much, hearing it from the other party still struck him hard.
“ shén me ， nǐ shì yù wài tiān mó ？”
“什么，你是域外天魔？”
"Correct."
jǐn guǎn xīn zhōng yǐ yǒu le yì diǎn cāi cè ， dàn tīng duì fāng qīn kǒu tǎn chéng ， suǒ dài lái de chōng jī ， hái shì ràng lín xuān bó rán biàn sè 。
尽管心中已有了一点猜测，但听对方亲口坦诚，所带来的冲击，还是让林轩勃然变色。
Kuin Yan nodded and extended her hand towards Lin Xuan: "How about it, can you two join me? We are best friends." She smiled faintly, her demeanor elegant and aloof, like a celestial fairy descending here. Saying she was a demoness was truly hard to believe.
“ bù cuò 。”
“不错。”
"I’m sorry, but I have no interest in becoming a域外天魔."
qín yán diǎn le diǎn tóu ， suí hòu xiàng zhe lín xuān shēn chū le shǒu ：“ rú hé ， liǎng wèi kě yǐ yǔ wǒ yì qǐ me ， wǒ men hái shì zuì hǎo de péng yǒu 。” tā dàn dàn de xiào zhe ， qì zhì gāo yǎ jué sú ， fǎng fú jiǔ tiān xiān zi jiàng lín dào le cǐ chù ， shuō shì tiān mó ， zhe shí ràng rén nán yǐ zhì xìn dào jí chù 。
秦妍点了点头，随后向着林轩伸出了手：“如何，两位可以与我一起么，我们还是最好的朋友。”她淡淡的笑着，气质高雅绝俗，仿佛九天仙子降临到了此处，说是天魔，着实让人难以置信到极处。
...
“ bù hǎo yì sī ， lín mǒu kě wú yì zuò shén me yù wài tiān mó 。”
“不好意思，林某可无意做什么域外天魔。”
After the shock subsided, Lin Xuan’s face returned to its calm expression.
zhèn jīng guò hòu ， lín xuān liǎn shàng huī fù le píng jìng zhī sè 。
震惊过后，林轩脸上恢复了平静之色。
Moon remained silent, standing by his side. The master's decision was her choice.
zhì yú yuè ér ， shén me yě méi yǒu shuō ， zhǐ shì jìng jìng zhàn zài lín xuān de shēn cè 。 shào yé de jué dìng ， jiù shì tā de jué zé 。
至于月儿，什么也没有说，只是静静站在林轩的身侧。少爷的决定，就是她的抉择。
"Is that so?"
“ shì me ？”
“是么？”
Kuin Yan sighed and combed her hair: "That is too regrettable. Since Brother Lin has declined my offer, you’ll join the other cultivators who entered the Ten Thousand Mountains to hell."
qín yán tàn le kǒu qì ， yù shǒu tái qǐ ， lǐ le lǐ bìn biān de fā sī ：“ nà shí zài shì tài yí hàn le ， jì rán lín xiōng jù jué le xiǎo mèi de hǎo yì ， nà nǐ jiù yǔ qí tā jìn rù shí wàn dà shān de xiū shì yì qǐ ， xià dì yù ”
秦妍叹了口气，玉手抬起，理了理鬓边的发丝：“那实在是太遗憾了，既然林兄拒绝了小妹的好意，那你就与其他进入十万大山的修士一起，下地狱”
Before she could finish speaking, her long hair suddenly flew, still beautiful but exuding an ominous aura.
huà yīn wèi luò ， cǐ nǚ xiù fà tū rán fēi wǔ ， yī jiù měi dé lìng rén xuàn mù ， dàn yī gǔ lìng rén jīng sǒng de shā qì ， què yóu tā de shēn tǐ biǎo miàn mí sàn ér chū 。
话音未落，此女秀发突然飞舞，依旧美得令人炫目，但一股令人惊悚的杀气，却由她的身体表面弥散而出。
Without any warning, countless bloodstains shot from her body. The sheer number was astonishing, and each beam of blood had immense power. Such an attack could kill a cultivator at the Transcendence stage in seconds. But Lin Xuan seemed prepared. He shook his sleeves, and the Nine Palaces Must-Instant Sword emitted a chilling glow as it met the incoming attacks.
jī hū shì sī háo zhēng zhào yě wú ， wú shù xuè guāng yě yóu tā de shēn tǐ lǐ miàn 〖 jī 〗 shè 。 shù liàng zhī duō ， lìng rén chēng mù jié shé ， ér qiě měi yī dào xuè guāng de wēi lì ， dōu shì nà yàng de fēi tóng xiǎo kě 。 zhè yàng de gōng shì ， shuō néng miǎo shā yī míng dù jié jí bié de xiū xiān zhě yě méi yǒu cuò 。 dàn lín xuān què xiàng shì zǎo yǒu zhǔn bèi shì de 。 xiù páo yī dǒu ， jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn hán máng dà zuò ， xiàng zhe qián fāng yíng shàng qù le 。
几乎是丝毫征兆也无，无数血光也由她的身体里面〖激〗射。数量之多，令人瞠目结舌，而且每一道血光的威力，都是那样的非同小可。这样的攻势，说能秒杀一名渡劫级别的修仙者也没有错。但林轩却像是早有准备似的。袖袍一抖，九宫须臾剑寒芒大做，向着前方迎上去了。
Moon wasn’t idle either.
yuè ér yě méi yǒu xián zhe 。
月儿也没有闲着。
She flipped her hand, and the玄阴宝盒 appeared in her palm.
yù shǒu fān zhuǎn ， xuán yīn bǎo hé zài tā de zhǎng xīn zhōng fú xiàn 。
玉手翻转，玄阴宝盒在她的掌心中浮现。
The light flickered, transforming into a short sword. Moon then released it. The short sword’s aura flashed wildly, multiplying into three, nine, and so on until hundreds of swords appeared instantly.
guāng yùn liú zhuǎn ， biàn huà chū le yī bǐng duǎn jiàn 。 suí hòu yuè ér jiāng qí jì chū 。 duǎn jiàn líng guāng kuáng shǎn ， yī huà wèi sān ， sān huà wèi jiǔ shí ” shí ，
光晕流转，变化出了一柄短剑。随后月儿将其祭出。短剑灵光狂闪，一化为三，三化为九时”时，
先天灵宝 was nothing special, but Moon's玄阴宝盒 was a treasure from a celestial dwelling. Its power was beyond mention, and the key was its flexibility. Whatever weapon she wished to change into could be summoned at will—attack or defense, as desired. Even Lin Xuan’s Nine Palaces Must-Instant Sword couldn’t match this.
qǐng kè zhī jiān ， jiù biàn huà chū chéng bǎi shàng qiān de bǎo jiàn 。
顷刻之间，就变化出成百上千的宝剑。
Moreover, the treasures created by the玄阴宝盒 were not just similar in appearance; their power was formidable too. It was unclear if it was intentional or coincidental, but Moon's celestial swords at that moment were slightly shorter and resembled the Nine Palaces Must-Instant Sword in shape and had nine attributes.
...
Field Junior Sword listened intently but remained confused. The secrets contained in this conversation were too profound for him to fathom. Although he felt some curiosity, these matters had nothing to do with him directly. His immediate concern was to leave as soon as possible, so there wasn't time to delve deeper.
