lín xuān méi yǒu huí tóu ， dàn yǎn jiǎo de yú guāng yě jiāng suǒ yǒu de yī qiè kàn de qīng qīng chǔ chǔ 。
林轩没有回头，但眼角的余光也将所有的一切看得清清楚楚。
Lin Xuan did not turn around, but the corner of his eye saw everything clearly.
nà yī jiàn zhī wēi nán yǐ yán shù 。
那一剑之威难以言述。
That sword strike was beyond description in its power.
fāng yuán bǎi lǐ ， zhěng gè tiān dì yuán qì ， quán dōu hùn luàn diào le 。
方圆百里，整个天地元气，全都混乱掉了。
Within a hundred miles, the entire realm of essence energy was thrown into chaos.
háng jia yī shēn shǒu ， biàn zhī yǒu méi yǒu 。
行家一伸手，便知有没有。
A true master could tell at first glance. The attack from afar, despite being a million miles away, displayed such formidable strength; it was truly commendable.
bìng fēi qīn shēn jià lín cǐ chù ， xiāng gé qiān wàn lǐ wài de yī jī ， jiù yǒu rú sī wēi lì ， zhe shí liǎo bù qǐ 。
并非亲身驾临此处，相隔千万里外的一击，就有如斯威力，着实了不起。
Lady Rain桐 was known as the top expert in the Spirit Realm, and indeed her reputation held up to its name.
yǔ tóng xiān zi hào chēng líng jiè dì yī gāo shǒu ， guǒ rán shèng míng wú xū 。
雨桐仙子号称灵界第一高手，果然盛名无虚。
Would Qin Yan be able to escape danger or would she meet her end here?
qín yán néng fǒu huà xiǎn wéi yí ， hái shì huì xiāng xiāo yù yǔn yú zhè lǐ ？
秦妍能否化险为夷，还是会香消玉殒于这里？
...
……
……
It couldn't be denied that despite knowing the other party was a demon from beyond the realm, Lin Xuan still harbored a tinge of attachment towards her.
bù kě fǒu rèn ， jǐn guǎn yǐ jīng zhī dào duì fāng shì yù wài tiān mó ， lín xuān nèi xīn shēn chù ， yī jiù nán miǎn duì tā yǒu yī sī qiān guà zhī yì 。
不可否认，尽管已经知道对方是域外天魔，林轩内心深处，依旧难免对她有一丝牵挂之意。
But at this moment, he could not linger to see the outcome. The immediate priority was to leave the Ten Thousand Mountains as quickly as possible.
dàn zhè shí hòu ， lín xuān yě bù kě néng liú xià lái kàn gè jié guǒ 。
但这时候，林轩也不可能留下来看个结果。
As for Qin Yan's fate—whether she lived or died—it all depended on her luck and destiny.
dāng wù zhī jí ， jǐn kuài lí kāi shí wàn dà shān cái shì zuì zhòng yào de 。
当务之急，尽快离开十万大山才是最重要的。
Lin Xuan couldn't delve into the matter; his top priority was to get out of this dangerous place as soon as possible.
zhì yú qín yán shì sǐ shì huó ， yī qiè dōu zhǐ yǒu kàn tā de yùn dào yǔ zào huà le 。
至于秦妍是死是活，一切都只有看她的运道与造化了。
...
lín xuān bù kě néng qù xún gēn jiū dǐ ， dāng wù zhī jí ， shì gǎn kuài lí kāi zhè shì fēi zhī dì 。
林轩不可能去寻根究底，当务之急，是赶快离开这是非之地。
A month later,
……
……
this was a plain with ordinary scenery.
yí gè yuè hòu 。
一个月后。
Yet at its end, there were several small hills.
zhè lǐ shì yī chù pǔ tōng de píng yuán 。
这里是一处普通的平原。
The peaks stretched and rose like they reached far into the horizon.
rán ér zài jìn tóu zhī chù què yě diǎn zhuì yǒu jǐ zuò xiǎo shān 。
然而在尽头之处却也点缀有几座小山。
Essence energy was still dense here, but such quality veins were not uncommon in Rain桐's realm; within a million miles, one could hardly spot any traces of cultivators.
shān fēng mián yán qǐ fú ， yán shēn xiàng tiān biān jí yuǎn zhī chù 。
山峰绵延起伏，延伸像天边极远之处。
Suddenly, a loud "boom" echoed through his ears as one of the mountains split open.
líng qì hái suàn nóng mì ， bù guò zhè zhǒng pǐn jí de líng mài ， zài yǔ tóng jiè bù zú wéi qí ， fāng yuán wàn lǐ ， dōu jiàn bú dào fēn háo xiū xiān zhě de zōng jì 。
灵气还算浓密，不过这种品级的灵脉，在雨桐界不足为奇，方圆万里，都见不到分毫修仙者的踪迹。
A streak of green light shot up into the sky, and the figure inside was somewhat blurry. The essence pressure it emitted was faint, showing no extraordinary signs.
tū rán “ hōng ” de yī shēng jù xiǎng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， qí zhōng yī zuò shān fēng ， tū rán liè kāi le 。
突然“轰”的一声巨响传入耳朵，其中一座山峰，突然裂开了。
But upon closer inspection, this was a cultivator at the Tribulation Transcending stage.
yī dào qīng guāng chōng tiān ér qǐ ， lǐ miàn de rén yǐng lüè yǒu xiē mó hú ， suǒ sàn fà chū lái de líng yā yì shì ruò yǒu ruò wú ， kàn bù chū yǒu shén me chū qí zhī chù 。
一道青光冲天而起，里面的人影略有些模糊，所散发出来的灵压亦是若有若无，看不出有什么出奇之处。
"Master, are you well?" Yue'er appeared beside him.
dàn zǐ xì yī qiáo 。
但仔细一瞧。
"I'm already fine," Lin Xuan smiled slightly.
zhè què shì yī wèi dù jié jí bié de xiū xiān zhě 。
这却是一位渡劫级别的修仙者。
It had been a month since they escaped the Ten Thousand Mountains.
“ shào yé ， nǐ de shāng hǎo le me ？”
“少爷，你的伤好了么？”
Lin Xuan had been living in seclusion here.
yuè ér bù zhī hé shí yǐ chū xiàn zài le shēn cè 。
月儿不知何时已出现在了身侧。
This treasure hunt was more out of curiosity than anything else; he returned empty-handed.
“ yǐ jīng méi yǒu dà ài le 。” lín xuān wēi xiào zhe shuō 。
“已经没有大碍了。”林轩微笑着说。
Though there were no significant gains, reuniting with Qin Yan brought him closer to uncovering ancient secrets. Although still shrouded in mystery, Lin Xuan believed that one day, he would understand what happened in the ancient times.
cǐ shí jù lí tā men táo lí shí wàn dà shān ， yǐ jīng yǒu yí yuè zhī jiǔ 。
此时距离他们逃离十万大山，已经有一月之久。
For the past month, Lin Xuan had been recuperating, so he didn't know that within just a few dozen days, Rain桐's realm was stirred up by a massive commotion.
lín xuān yì zhí yǐn jū zài cǐ chù 。
林轩一直隐居在此处。
The reason was the Ten Thousand Mountains. As the top-ranked interface in the Spirit Realm, Rain桐's vast expanse and countless talented individuals made it no stranger to tribulation experts. Even though these old monsters were mostly elusive, they weren't entirely out of sight.
zhè yī cì xún bǎo ， kě yǐ shuō hào qí ér lái ， shā yǔ ér guī 。
这一次寻宝，可以说好奇而来，铩羽而归。
In the competitive world of cultivation, news of tribulation experts' deaths was not uncommon. But such occurrences were rare; in tens of thousands of years, only a few cases might be recorded.
bù guò yě bìng fēi yì diǎn shōu huò yě wú ， yǔ qín yán de chóng jù ràng zì jǐ jù lí shàng gǔ yǐn mì yòu jìn le yī bù ， suī rán xiàn zài yī jiù rú zhuì rù wǔ lǐ yún wù ， dàn zhǐ yào chōu sī bō jiǎn ， lín xuān xiāng xìn ， zǒng yǒu yī tiān ， zì jǐ huì nòng qīng chǔ ， zài shàng gǔ zhī shí ， jiū jìng fā shēng le shén me 。
不过也并非一点收获也无，与秦妍的重聚让自己距离上古隐秘又进了一步，虽然现在依旧如坠入五里云雾，但只要抽丝剥茧，林轩相信，总有一天，自己会弄清楚，在上古之时，究竟发生了什么。
However, this time, due to that treasure map, more than ten old monsters at the Tribulation Transcending stage perished in the Ten Thousand Mountains.
zhè yí gè yuè lái ， lín xuān dōu zài yǎng shāng ， suǒ yǐ tā bìng bù zhī dào ， duǎn duǎn de shù shí tiān ， yǔ tóng jiè yǐ xiān qǐ le tiān dà de bō lán 。
这一个月来，林轩都在养伤，所以他并不知道，短短的数十天，雨桐界已掀起了天大的波澜。
Among them were mid-stage tribulation experts and even some late-stage old monsters. This was truly shocking.
yuán yīn jiù shì shí wàn dà shān 。
原因就是十万大山。
Late-stage cultivators were considered rulers of their domains; they had transcended the constraints of lifespan. Although their strength varied, their realms kept them from falling too far behind.
zuò wèi líng jiè pái míng dì yī de jiè miàn ， yǔ tóng jiè miàn jī guǎng bó ， qí rén yì shì gèng shì shǔ bù shèng shǔ ， gāo shǒu bèi chū ， biàn shì dù jié jí bié de lǎo guài wù ， yě bù quán shì shén lóng jiàn shǒu bù jiàn wěi de rén wù 。
做为灵界排名第一的界面，雨桐界面积广博，奇人异士更是数不胜数，高手辈出，便是渡劫级别的老怪物，也不全是神龙见首不见尾的人物。
How long had it been since a late-stage cultivator's death?
ér xiū xiān jiè zhēng qiáng dòu hěn ， xīng fēng xuè yǔ bù suàn xī qí ， ǒu ěr yě huì tīng wén dù jié jí bié cún zài yǔn luò de xiāo xī 。
而修仙界争强斗狠，腥风血雨不算稀奇，偶尔也会听闻渡劫级别存在陨落的消息。
Such an event couldn't help but cause a significant stir.
dàn nà kě shì shǎo jiàn yǐ jí ， shù wàn nián yě bú jiàn de huì fā shēng yī lì 。
但那可是少见以极，数万年也不见得会发生一例。
Soon, even more astonishing news emerged.
kě zhè yī cì zài shí wàn dà shān lǐ ， yīn wèi nà zhāng cáng bǎo tú ， hún fēi pò sàn de dù jié qī lǎo guài jū rán yǒu shí yú rén zhī duō 。
可这一次在十万大山里，因为那张藏宝图，魂飞魄散的渡劫期老怪居然有十余人之多。
Not only did Old Patriarch Thunder Cloud fall, but the beloved daughter of Ten Thousand Jiao King also perished in the Ten Thousand Mountains.
bù fá dù jié zhōng qī de xiū xiān zhě ， shèn zhì hái yǒu hòu qī de lǎo guài wù 。
不乏渡劫中期的修仙者，甚至还有后期的老怪物。
This news caused a sensation throughout the cultivation world.
zhè jiǎn zhí shì jīng shì hài sú 。
这简直是惊世骇俗。
Indeed, Princess Ten Thousand Jiao was merely an ordinary tribulation cultivator at the early stage. Due to her surname Ren, her strength was even weaker than that of other peers.
hòu qī cún zài ， fàng yǎn sān jiè ， nà yě kě yǐ chēng de shàng yī fāng bà zhǔ ， tā men yǐ jīng chāo tuō le shòu yuán de shù fù ， suī rán bǐ cǐ shí lì yǒu qiáng yǒu ruò ， dàn jìng jiè zài nà lǐ guǎn zhe ， zài ruò yě huì yǒu yí gè dù 。
后期存在，放眼三界，那也可以称得上一方霸主，他们已经超脱了寿元的束缚，虽然彼此实力有强有弱，但境界在那里管着，再弱也会有一个度。
But what did it matter? She was the only daughter of Ten Thousand Jiao King. That was enough.
hòu qī xiū xiān zhě ， yǐ jīng duō shǎo nián bù céng yǔn luò ？
后期修仙者，已经多少年不曾陨落？
It was well-known that both cultivators and demons found it increasingly difficult to bear offspring as their realms rose. Hence, despite her arrogance, Ten Thousand Jiao King regarded her as his precious gem.
zhè yàng de shì qíng ， zěn me kě néng bù yǐn qǐ xuān rán dà bō 。
这样的事情，怎么可能不引起轩然大波。
Who didn't know Princess Ten Thousand Jiao in Rain桐's realm?
rán ér hěn kuài ， yòu yǒu gèng jiā jīng rén de xiāo xī chuán chū lái le 。
然而很快，又有更加惊人的消息传出来了。
Even though she was arrogant and unreliable, no one dared to show disrespect because of her father's influence.
bù zhǐ shì léi yún lǎo zǔ ， yě bù zhǐ nà shí yú wèi dù jié qī lǎo guài wù ， hái yǒu wàn jiāo wáng de ài nǚ ， yì zài shí wàn dà shān zhōng yǔn luò 。
不止是雷云老祖，也不止那十余位渡劫期老怪物，还有万蛟王的爱女，亦在十万大山中陨落。
But now, this princess had been killed; even her soul hadn't escaped.
cǐ xiāo xī yī chū ， kě yǐ shuō zhěng gè xiū xiān jiè dōu wèi zhī cè mù 。
此消息一出，可以说整个修仙界都为之侧目。
One could imagine how furious Ten Thousand Jiao King would be.
méi cuò ， wàn jiāo gōng zhǔ bù guò shì yī míng pǔ tōng de dù jié chū qī de xiū xiān zhě 。
没错，万蛟公主不过是一名普通的渡劫初期的修仙者。
As the saying goes: "When a king is angry, rivers flow with blood." Although not the ruler of the Spirit Realm, as one of the three great demon kings, his status was no less significant.
yīn wèi rén xìng de yuán gù ， tā de shí lì shèn zhì hái bù jí tóng jiē xiū shì de 。
因为任姓的缘故，她的实力甚至还不及同阶修士的。
To boldly claim that even Primordial True Demon or several old monsters from the Netherworld wouldn't dare do such a thing.
dàn nà yòu rú hé ， tā shì wàn jiāo wáng wéi yī de nǚ ér ， zhè jiù gòu le 。
但那又如何，她是万蛟王唯一的女儿，这就够了。
Killing Princess Ten Thousand Jiao meant declaring war on Ten Thousand Jiao King.
zhòng suǒ zhōu zhī ， bù lùn xiū shì hái shì yāo zú ， jìng jiè yuè gāo ， fán yǎn zi sì yuè shì kùn nán dào le jí chù ， gù ér zhè wèi gōng zhǔ diàn xià suī rán xiāo zhāng bá hù ， wàn jiāo wáng què yǐ jí shì tā wèi zhǎng shàng míng zhū 。
众所周知，不论修士还是妖族，境界越高，繁衍子嗣越是困难到了极处，故而这位公主殿下虽然嚣张跋扈，万蛟王却以极视她为掌上明珠。
Such an outcome drew attention from those who had previously shown little interest in what happened in the Ten Thousand Mountains.
yǔ tóng jiè shuí bù zhī dào wàn jiāo gōng zhǔ ？
雨桐界谁不知道万蛟公主？
It could be expected that the entire cultivation world would soon be engulfed by a storm of bloodshed.
jí biàn tā rén xìng bá hù ， zuò shì qíng bù kào pǔ ér ， kě kàn zài wàn jiāo wáng de fèn shàng ， yě dàng zhēn méi yǒu rén gǎn duì tā yǒu hé bù jìng zhī chù 。
即便她任姓跋扈，做事情不靠谱儿，可看在万蛟王的份上，也当真没有人敢对她有何不敬之处。
If it was indeed demons or Netherworld people, leading to a war between the two realms, it wasn't impossible either.
kě xiàn zài ， zhè wèi gōng zhǔ què bèi rén miè le 。
可现在，这位公主却被人灭了。
Thinking about this, everyone grew tense. After all, when the nest is destroyed, no one can remain unscathed. If a war broke out between the two realms, regardless of their strength, none could guarantee safety.
lián hún pò dōu méi yǒu táo chū 。
连魂魄都没有逃出。
This not only concerned ordinary cultivators but also some long-since retired old monsters who were roused from their slumber.
kě xiǎng ér zhī ， yí xiàng hù duǎn de wàn jiāo wáng ， huì rú hé de fā nù 。
可想而知，一向护短的万蛟王，会如何的发怒。
After all, if things reached this point, it would affect them too; no one could remain indifferent.
sú huà shuō tiān zi yī nù ， xuè liú piāo chǔ ， wàn jiāo wáng ， suī rán bú shì líng jiè zhī zhǔ ， dàn zuò wèi sān dà yāo wáng zhī yī ， shēn fèn yě chà bú dào nǎ lǐ 。
俗话说天子一怒，血流漂杵，万蛟王，虽然不是灵界之主，但做为三大妖王之一，身份也差不到哪里。
Thus, they began to inquire among friends and relatives.
shuō jù bú kè qì de yán yǔ ， biàn shì zhēn mó shǐ zǔ ， yǐ jí yīn sī jiè de jǐ míng lǎo guài wù ， yě wèi bì gǎn zhè me zuò 。
说句不客气的言语，便是真魔始祖，以及阴司界的几名老怪物，也未必敢这么做。
These old monsters had astonishing power, mostly late-stage cultivators, with vast networks of connections.
miè shā wàn jiāo gōng zhǔ ， jiǎn zhí jiù shì yào yǔ wàn jiāo wáng shì bù liǎng lì le 。
灭杀万蛟公主，简直就是要与万蛟王势不两立了。
Despite the secrecy involved, these old monsters soon found out about the matter.
shuō dǎn dà bāo tiān yě bù wèi guò 。
说胆大包天也不为过。
As the saying goes: "There is no wall that doesn't leak." After understanding the entire story, although they wanted to keep it confidential, they inevitably leaked some information in casual moments.
zhè yàng de jié jú ， ràng yī xiē yuán běn duì shí wàn dà shān fā shēng le shén me bìng bù gǎn xìng qù de rén ， yě bèi xī yǐn le zhù yì 。
这样的结局，让一些原本对十万大山发生了什么并不感兴趣的人，也被吸引了注意。
Though incomplete, this allowed everyone to piece together the full picture of the incident, which shocked the cultivation world once again.
kě yǐ yù jì ， zhěng gè xiū xiān jiè ， bì jiāng xiān qǐ yī cháng xīng fēng xuè yǔ 。
可以预计，整个修仙界，必将掀起一场腥风血雨。
The Ten Thousand Mountains' events turned out to be a plot by demons from beyond the realm. The demons used fake treasure maps to lure cultivators and intended to sacrifice them to open an interface portal, allowing more demon heads to enter the Spirit Realm.
jiǎ rú zhēn shì mó jiè huò zhě yīn sī dì fǔ de rén zhè me zuò ， cóng ér dǎo zhì liǎng jiè dà zhàn kāi qǐ ， yě bú shì bù kě néng de 。
假如真是魔界或者阴司地府的人这么做，从而导致两界大战开启，也不是不可能的。
This outcome naturally left everyone speechless.
yī xiǎng dào zhè lǐ ， suǒ yǒu de rén dōu jǐn zhāng le qǐ lái ， bì jìng fù cháo zhī xià ān yǒu wán luǎn ， ruò shì liǎng dà jiè miàn zhī jiān kāi qǐ zhàn huǒ ， bù lùn zì jǐ shí lì rú hé ， dōu bù gǎn shuō ， yí dìng kě yǐ xìng miǎn de 。
一想到这里，所有的人都紧张了起来，毕竟覆巢之下安有完卵，若是两大界面之间开启战火，不论自己实力如何，都不敢说，一定可以幸免的。
Although few had seen these demons in ancient times, their terrifying nature was well-known.
zhè yī lái ， bù zhǐ shì pǔ tōng de xiū xiān zhě ， biàn shì yī xiē zǎo yǐ bù chū shì de lǎo guài wù ， yì bèi jīng dòng le 。
这一来，不止是普通的修仙者，便是一些早已不出世的老怪物，亦被惊动了。
It was said that during the ancient era, not only the Spirit Realm but also the Ancient Demon Realm and Netherworld were corrupted by these demonic entities. It took great efforts for the Three Realms' great cultivators to reinforce the spatial nodes.
bì jìng shì qíng ruò zhēn fā zhǎn dào zhè yī bù ， yǔ tā men yì shì xī xī xiāng guān de ， shuí yě bù kě néng shì ruò wú dǔ 。
毕竟事情若真发展到这一步，与他们亦是息息相关的，谁也不可能视若无睹。
Who would have thought that there were still demons from beyond the realm who aimed to reopen interface portals?
yú shì tā men yě fēn fēn xiàng qīn péng hǎo yǒu dǎ tīng qǐ lái le 。
于是他们也纷纷像亲朋好友打听起来了。
It was said that Lady Rain桐 had thwarted their plot, but the matter didn't end there.
zhè xiē lǎo guài wù ， měi yí gè jiē shí lì jīng rén ， jué dà bù fèn dōu shì hòu qī cún zài ， jiāo yóu zì rán guǎng kuò 。
这些老怪物，每一个皆实力惊人，绝大部分都是后期存在，交游自然广阔。
Storms before a storm!
jí biàn cǐ shí shè jí de yǐn mì fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， hěn kuài hái shì bèi tā men dǎ tīng chū lái le 。
即便此时涉及的隐秘非同小可，很快还是被他们打听出来了。
P.S.: Sorry for any inconvenience. I've been dealing with some urgent matters these past two days. Rest assured, regular updates will resume tomorrow. Thank you for your continued support of Huan Yu and Bai Lian.
