yī shí jiān ， zhěng gè líng jiè shuō fēng shēng hè lì yě bù wèi guò 。
一时间，整个灵界说风声鹤唳也不为过。
In a short while, the entire Spirit Realm was in an uproar, as if the sound of wind and cries of cranes could be heard everywhere.
bù zhǐ yǔ tóng ， lián qí tā de xiǎo jiè miàn ， yě dōu yǒu xiē cǎo mù jiē bīng le 。
不止雨桐，连其他的小界面，也都有些草木皆兵了。
Not only Yu Tong, but other minor realms also felt on edge.
tīng qǐ lái lí pǔ ， dàn zì rán shì yǒu yuán gù 。
听起来离谱，但自然是有缘故。
It sounded absurd, yet there were reasons behind it. In ancient times,域外天魔 left countless tragic tales for the Three Realms. To defeat these celestial demons, not just ordinary cultivators, even those who had passed through tribulation perished in their thousands.
shàng gǔ zhī shí ， yù wài tiān mó gěi sān jiè liú xià le tài duō cǎn tòng de chuán shuō 。
上古之时，域外天魔给三界留下了太多惨痛的传说。
Although much had changed with the passage of time, records still contained many references to them. The reappearance of these celestial demons in the Spirit Realm naturally struck fear into the hearts of cultivators.
wèi le dǎ bài zhè xiē tiān wài yāo mó ， bié shuō pǔ tōng de xiū xiān zhě ， biàn shì dù jié jí bié de cún zài yě yǔn luò le chéng qiān shàng wàn zhī duō 。
为了打败这些天外妖魔，别说普通的修仙者，便是渡劫级别的存在也陨落了成千上万之多。
Large and small sects and families were on high alert, while independent cultivators reduced their outings as well. What was once a bustling cultivation world now seemed strangely desolate due to the upheaval in Ten Thousand Mountains.
jǐn guǎn shì yì shí yí ， dàn zài diǎn jí zhōng yī jiù néng zhǎo dào xǔ duō yǔ tā men yǒu guān de xìn xī 。
尽管事易时移，但在典籍中依旧能找到许多与他们有关的信息。
At this moment, somewhere within Yu Tong's realm, two figures were engaged in mysterious conversation.
rú jīn zhè xiē tiān wài mó tóu zài cì xiàn shēn yǔ líng jiè lǐ ， zěn me kě néng bù ràng xiū shì men wèi jù 。
如今这些天外魔头再次现身与灵界里，怎么可能不让修士们畏惧。
"Didn't even your full power strike leave that Cloudy Lady Demon?" A cold voice sounded, with an underlying hint of surprise.
dà dà xiǎo xiǎo de zōng mén jiā zú ， wú bù rú lín dà dí ， sàn xiū men yě dōu jǐn liàng jiǎn shǎo le wài chū ， yuán běn fán huá de xiū xiān jiè ， yīn wèi shí wàn dà shān de biàn gù ， jìng mò míng qí miào de biàn dé xiāo tiáo qǐ lái le 。
大大小小的宗门家族，无不如临大敌，散修们也都尽量减少了外出，原本繁华的修仙界，因为十万大山的变故，竟莫名其妙的变得萧条起来了。
"Eh, it was my oversight. Although her strength has not fully recovered, she is still formidable and should not be underestimated. With the recovery of her命宝天魔剑, which actively protected her in critical moments, she managed to escape from my strike."
……
……
The second voice sounded like a yellow oriole emerging from its cage, tinged with regret as it spoke.
yǔ cǐ tóng shí 。
与此同时。
Though their conversation seemed harmless on the surface, the content left one speechless. The owner of the first voice was none other than the Vast Serpent King, who had lost his beloved daughter and gone berserk for a month without returning.
yǔ tóng jiè de mǒu chù xiān shān dòng fǔ ， què yǒu liǎng rén zài shén mì de jiāo tán zhe shén me 。
雨桐界的某处仙山洞府，却有两人在神秘的交谈着什么。
Now he had taken on human form, but still retained the appearance of a serpent head with a human body. His spiritual pressure was faintly perceptible, yet the妖气 emitted inadvertently was overwhelmingly powerful. His expression was particularly grim, even showing some suspicion and dissatisfaction.
“ zěn me ， lián xiān zi de quán lì yī jī ， yě méi néng liú xià nà yún zhōng nǚ mó ？” yī qīng lěng de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， lǐ miàn yǐn yǐn yǒu jǐ fēn chī jīng zhī sè 。
“怎么，连仙子的全力一击，也没能留下那云中女魔？”一清冷的声音传入耳朵，里面隐隐有几分吃惊之色。
"Your words are correct, but is it really that simple? Although we are separated by thousands of miles from Ten Thousand Mountains, your power has far surpassed what it once was. I'm not sure how strong you are, but I doubt it's inferior to a true cultivator. A strike from afar should have at least seven-tenths of its full power. How could the Cloudy Lady Demon easily dodge with her strength still recovering?"
“ āi ， zhè yě shì wǒ de shū hū ， nà yún zhōng xiān zi de shí lì suī rán shàng wèi huī fù ， dàn yě bù kě qīng rǔ ， jiā shàng xún huí le zì jǐ de běn mìng bǎo wù ， tiān mó jiàn zài guān jiàn shí kè zhǔ dòng hù zhǔ ， jìng ràng tā cóng wǒ nà yī jiàn zhī zhōng táo tuō 。”
“唉，这也是我的疏忽，那云中仙子的实力虽然尚未恢复，但也不可轻辱，加上寻回了自己的本命宝物，天魔剑在关键时刻主动护主，竟让她从我那一剑之中逃脱。”
"Is that so? Vast Serpent Friend is doubting my leniency?" The owner of the melodious voice was a slender and graceful young girl, though her body was shrouded in a thin layer of mist, obscuring her features.
lìng yí gè shēng yīn rú huáng lí chū gǔ ， dài zhe jǐ fēn ào sàng zhī sè ， lüè wèi kě xī de kāi kǒu le 。
另一个声音如黄鹂出谷，带着几分懊丧之色，略为可惜的开口了。
Even though she was barely visible, one could still discern that she was an incomparably beautiful woman.
biǎo miàn shàng ， zhè yàng de tán huà méi yǒu shén me bù tuǒ ， kě zǐ xì zhuó mó tā men suǒ shuō de nèi róng ， què ràng rén chēng mù jié shé 。
表面上，这样的谈话没有什么不妥，可仔细琢磨他们所说的内容，却让人瞠目结舌。
Lady Yu Tong!
dì yí gè shēng yīn dì zhǔ rén ， hè rán shì nà tòng shī ài nǚ ， bào nù lí qù ， yí gè yuè dōu bú jiàn zōng jì de wàn jiāo wáng 。
第一个声音地主人，赫然是那痛失爱女，暴怒离去，一个月都不见踪迹的万蛟王。
Though Vast Serpent King did not reveal her identity, it was easy to guess who she was. The top cultivator of the Spirit Realm wore a displeased expression: "Friend's suspicions are too heavy-handed. She is a celestial demon from beyond our realm; how could I let her go? It was indeed difficult for that Cloudy Lady Demon to deal with. As for my strength, your guess is even more off the mark. Over these years, I have been stuck at a bottleneck and made minimal progress. Compared to true cultivators or you, I am likely weaker."
cǐ shí de tā ， yǐ jīng xiǎn huà chū rén xíng 。
此时的他，已经显化出人形。
"Humph! Why should a cultivator humble herself so much?"
rán ér què shì jiāo shǒu rén shēn ， hún shēn de líng yā ruò yǒu ruò wú ， rán ér bù jīng yì jiān suǒ sàn fà chū lái de yāo qì 。 què qiáng dà dào wú yǐ fù jiā de dì bù ， zhì yú liǎn sè ， gèng shì yīn chén yǐ jí ， shèn zhì hái yǒu jǐ fēn huái yí yǔ bù mǎn zhī yì 。
然而却是蛟首人身，浑身的灵压若有若无，然而不经意间所散发出来的妖气。却强大到无以复加的地步，至于脸色，更是阴沉以极，甚至还有几分怀疑与不满之意。
Vast Serpent King was not stupid; he could not believe her words.
“ xiān zi suǒ yán bù cuò ， dàn shì qíng zhēn yǒu zhè me jiǎn dān me ， suī rán zhè lǐ ， yǔ shí wàn dà shān xiāng gé qiān wàn lǐ ， dàn bǎi wàn nián guò qù ， xiān zi de shén tōng zǎo yǐ fēi dāng nián kě bǐ ， yǒu duō qiáng xiǎo wáng suī bù qīng chǔ 。 dàn jué bú huì bǐ yì bān de zhēn xiān xùn sè ， zhè gé kōng yī jī ， yīng gāi yě yǒu qī chéng de wēi lì ， yún zhōng xiān zi de shí lì shàng wèi huī fù ， nǎ ér yǒu nà me róng yì duǒ ？”
“仙子所言不错，但事情真有这么简单么，虽然这里，与十万大山相隔千万里，但百万年过去，仙子的神通早已非当年可比，有多强小王虽不清楚。但觉不会比一般的真仙逊色，这隔空一击，应该也有七成的威力，云中仙子的实力尚未恢复，哪儿有那么容易躲？”
Lady Yu Tong, perhaps due to her nature, had always been the most inconspicuous among the ancient cultivators. People once thought she was the weakest of the three scattered immortals, but in reality, she was far stronger than others. Even the demon lord, who led the demon realm, did not fare well against her.
“ zěn me ， tīng wàn jiāo dào yǒu zhè me shuō ， shì huái yí wǒ gù yì shǒu xià liú qíng le ？” dòng tīng shēng yīn de zhǔ rén ， shì yī shēn cái miáo tiáo xiān xiù de shào nǚ ， nián qīng yǐ jí 。 rán ér tā de shēn tǐ zhōu wéi ， què lǒng zhào zhe yī céng báo báo de wù qì ， bìng bù nóng yù ， què bù zhī wèi hé 。 piān piān jiāng tā de róng mào zhē dǎng zhù ， ràng rén kàn bù qīng chǔ 。
“怎么，听万蛟道友这么说，是怀疑我故意手下留情了？”动听声音的主人，是一身材苗条纤秀的少女，年轻以极。然而她的身体周围，却笼罩着一层薄薄的雾气，并不浓郁，却不知为何。偏偏将她的容貌遮挡住，让人看不清楚。
In a one-on-one battle, they ended up evenly matched.
rán ér jí biàn fēi cháng de mó hú ， cóng nà yǐn yuē de lún kuò ， yě néng pàn duàn chū zhè shì yī wèi jué sè měi nǚ 。
然而即便非常的模糊，从那隐约的轮廓，也能判断出这是一位绝色美女。
Thus, Lady Yu Tong earned recognition as the top cultivator of the Spirit Realm.
yǔ tóng xiān zi ！
雨桐仙子！
However, she still adhered to the principle of humility and was less known than other scattered immortals or demon kings. Of course, high-ranking beings knew the truth and revered her greatly.
suī rán wàn jiāo wáng bù céng jiāng tā de shēn fèn dào pò 。 dàn què shì yì diǎn yě bù nán cāi de 。
虽然万蛟王不曾将她的身份道破。但却是一点也不难猜的。
"Regardless, that Cloudy Lady Demon did manage to escape despite our efforts. However, her attempt to break through a spatial node using blood sacrifice to open another path to the demon realm has been thwarted. Your contribution in this matter is significant; why does Vast Serpent Friend insist on criticizing me?"
cǐ shí ， zhè wèi líng jiè dì yī gāo shǒu de liǎn shàng ， lù chū bù yù ：“ dào yǒu de yí xīn tài zhòng le 。 duì fāng shì yù wài tiān mó ， wǒ zěn me kě néng jiāng qí fàng guò ， què shí shì nà yún zhōng xiān zi bù hǎo duì fù ， zhì yú wǒ de shí lì ， dào yǒu de cāi cè gèng lí pǔ le xiē ， zhè xiē nián lái ， wǒ shòu kùn yú píng jǐng ， suī yǒu cùn jìn ， què shì wēi mò yǐ jí ， bié shuō yǔ zhēn xiān xiāng bǐ ， biàn shì dào yǒu ， kǒng pà yě néng bǐ wǒ qiáng shàng yī xiē 。”
此时，这位灵界第一高手的脸上，露出不豫：“道友的疑心太重了。对方是域外天魔，我怎么可能将其放过，确实是那云中仙子不好对付，至于我的实力，道友的猜测更离谱了些，这些年来，我受困于瓶颈，虽有寸进，却是微末以极，别说与真仙相比，便是道友，恐怕也能比我强上一些。”
Without any hint of it, a soft voice spoke again.
“ hēng ， xiān zi hé bì zì qiān dào rú cǐ chéng dù 。”
“哼，仙子何必自谦到如此程度。”
"Solitary Wild Goose, how did you, this sour scholar, dare join us in this discussion?"
zhè fān huà ， wàn jiāo wáng yòu bù shǎ ， zěn me kě néng xìn yǐ wéi zhēn a ！
这番话，万蛟王又不傻，怎么可能信以为真啊！
Vast Serpent King's expression turned stern: "Not content with your blessings, you used the technique to transmit sound over vast distances. It seems your progress has been considerable."
yǔ tóng xiān zi ， huò xǔ shì xìng gé de yuán gù ， zài shàng gǔ zhī shí ， jiù shì zuì bù xiǎn shān lù shuǐ de 。
雨桐仙子，或许是性格的缘故，在上古之时，就是最不显山露水的。
"Haha, compared to you, I am always a bit behind. Your praise is undeserved."
nà shí hòu ， rén rén dōu yǐ wéi tā zài sān dà sàn xiān zhōng shí lì zuì ruò ， shuí zhī dào ， què bǐ qí tā jǐ rén qiáng dé duō ， biàn shì mó zú dà tǒng lǐng ， zài tā shǒu lǐ ， yě méi yǒu tǎo dào pián yi 。
那时候，人人都以为她在三大散仙中实力最弱，谁知道，却比其他几人强得多，便是魔族大统领，在她手里，也没有讨到便宜。
Solitary Wild Goose's voice carried an element of mockery, indicating that his relationship with Vast Serpent King was not harmonious.
liǎng rén dān dǎ dú dòu ， zuì hòu de jié guǒ bù guò shì qí gǔ xiāng dāng ér yǐ 。
两人单打独斗，最后的结果不过是旗鼓相当而已。
Though there was no enmity, there were some grievances between them.
líng jiè dì yī gāo shǒu ， yě jiù zài nà shí dé dào le rèn kě 。
灵界第一高手，也就在那时得到了认可。
"Enough! A hundred years' worth of grudges, why bring it up now? You two are both important figures; how can you have such little patience?"
rán ér yǔ tóng xiān zi ， yī jiù fèng xíng dī diào de yuán zé ， míng qì bǐ sàn xiān yāo wáng zhōng de qí tā jǐ rén xiǎo dé duō ， dāng rán ， gāo jiē cún zài ， què shì zhī dào zhēn xiàng ， duì tā jìng wèi yì cháng 。
然而雨桐仙子，依旧奉行低调的原则，名气比散仙妖王中的其他几人小得多，当然，高阶存在，却是知道真相，对她敬畏异常。
Lady Yu Tong spoke unhappily: "Solitary Wild Goose, I came personally. Although that Cloudy Lady Demon has retreated, she will not give up easily. We should discuss how to handle the aftermath."
“ bù guǎn rú hé ， nà yún zhōng nǚ mó suī jiǎo xìng táo tuō ， dàn yuán běn xiǎng yào tōng guò xuè jì de fāng shì ， jiāng kōng jiān jié diǎn dǎ pò ， zài cì kāi qǐ tōng wǎng yù wài tiān mó jiè miàn de yīn móu ， zǒng suàn shì cuò bài diào le ， cóng zhè yì diǎn shàng ， xiān zi shì gōng bù kě méi ， wàn jiāo dào yǒu yòu hé bì duō jiā kē zé 。”
“不管如何，那云中女魔虽侥幸逃脱，但原本想要通过血祭的方式，将空间节点打破，再次开启通往域外天魔界面的阴谋，总算是挫败掉了，从这一点上，仙子是功不可没，万蛟道友又何必多加苛责。”
"Humph! It's inappropriate for just us to decide. When will the other scattered immortals and demon kings arrive?"
sī háo zhēng zhào yě wú ， yī dàn dàn de shēng yīn yòu xiǎng qǐ lái le 。
丝毫征兆也无，一淡淡的声音又响起来了。
Vast Serpent King grunted, barely suppressing his anger: "I have found a boundary-crossing sound transmission talisman; they should arrive in a few days based on their speed."
“ gū hóng zi ， shì nǐ zhè suān rú ， zěn me yě lái còu rè nào le ？”
“孤鸿子，是你这酸儒，怎么也来凑热闹了？”
"Good. With time still available, I have one matter to ask Vast Serpent Friend," Solitary Wild Goose persisted.
wàn jiāo wáng de liǎn shàng shǎn guò yī sī lì sè ：“ bù hǎo hǎo nà fú ， què shī zhǎn wàn lǐ chuán yīn zhī shù ， kàn lái zhè xiē nián lái ， nǐ de jìn zhǎn yě fēi tóng xiǎo kě 。”
万蛟王的脸上闪过一丝厉色：“不好好纳福，却施展万里传音之术，看来这些年来，你的进展也非同小可。”
"What is it?"
“ hēi hēi ， hé jiāo wáng xiàng bǐ ， zǒng shì chà shàng yī xiē ， nǐ de zàn yù ， zài xià kě dāng zhī bù qǐ 。”
“嘿嘿，和蛟王相比，总是差上一些，你的赞誉，在下可当之不起。”
Vast Serpent King's eyebrows rose as his daughter's death made him extremely unhappy. Now someone dared to provoke him, even if it was from one of the three scattered immortals. Did this sour scholar really think he feared him?
gū hóng zi de shēng yīn dài zhe yī sī tiáo kǎn zhī yì ， xiǎn rán yǔ wàn jiāo wáng zhī jiān de guān xì ， shì bìng bù zěn me hé mù dì 。
孤鸿子的声音带着一丝调侃之意，显然与万蛟王之间的关系，是并不怎么和睦地。
But Solitary Wild Goose ignored him: "Vast Serpent Friend need not be angry; I just want to ask you about the precious snake and its ice soul. Were the two true demon ancestors invited by you to our realm?"
suī tán bù shàng yǒu chóu ， dàn duō shǎo yě yǒu yī xiē xián xì 。
虽谈不上有仇，但多少也有一些嫌隙。
"What, the precious snake with its ice soul?"
“ hǎo le ， bǎi wàn nián de xiē xǔ guò jié ， xiàn zài hái shuō ， bù xián lìng rén fán me ， liǎng wèi yě dōu shì dà yǒu shēn fèn de rén wù ， zěn me jiù zhè diǎn qì dù 。”
“好了，百万年的些许过节，现在还说，不嫌令人烦么，两位也都是大有身份的人物，怎么就这点气度。”
Li Yu Tong turned her head in surprise as well. At her level of strength, only a few beings would capture her attention, and the ice soul was definitely one of them. The precious snake, being a true demon ancestor, could not be underestimated.
yǔ tóng xiān zi yǒu xiē bù yù de kāi kǒu le ：“ gū hóng dào yǒu ， shì wǒ qīn lái de ， nà yún zhōng nǚ mó suī rán tuì zǒu ， dàn kěn dìng bú huì shàn bà gān xiū ， cǐ shì gāi rú hé shàn hòu ， wǒ men zǒng gāi yào shāng liáng chū yí gè fāng fǎ lái de 。”
雨桐仙子有些不豫的开口了：“孤鸿道友，是我亲来的，那云中女魔虽然退走，但肯定不会善罢甘休，此事该如何善后，我们总该要商量出一个方法来的。”
Why had they come to our realm? And Vast Serpent King invited them?
“ hēng ， guāng shì wǒ men jǐ gè shāng liáng yǒu xiē bù tuǒ ， sàn xiān yāo wáng zhōng de qí tā jǐ gè jiā huo ， shén me shí hòu huì lái ne ？” wàn jiāo wáng hēng le yī shēng ， miǎn qiǎng yā xià nù qì de shuō 。
“哼，光是我们几个商量有些不妥，散仙妖王中的其他几个家伙，什么时候会来呢？”万蛟王哼了一声，勉强压下怒气的说。
Though Solitary Wild Goose had some grievances with Vast Serpent King, it made sense that he would not casually make such claims without reason.
“ wǒ yǐ fā xiàn gé jiè chuán yīn fú ， yǐ tā men de sù dù ， yīng gāi zhè jǐ tiān jiù néng dào le 。” yǔ tóng xiān zi chén yín zhe shuō 。
“我已发现隔界传音符，以他们的速度，应该这几天就能到了。”雨桐仙子沉吟着说。
His direct questioning meant there was a 100% chance of hidden issues.
“ hǎo ， jì rán hái yǒu shí jiān ， wǒ yǒu yī shì ， yào qǐng jiào wàn jiāo dào yǒu 。” gū hóng zi què xiǎn de yǒu xiē bù yī bù ráo 。
“好，既然还有时间，我有一事，要请教万蛟道友。”孤鸿子却显得有些不依不饶。
PS: Monday, please give me your recommendation votes! Thank you all!
In a short while, the entire Spirit Realm was in an uproar, as if the sound of wind and cries of cranes could be heard everywhere.
Not only Yu Tong, but other minor realms also felt on edge.
It sounded absurd, yet there were reasons behind it. In ancient times,域外天魔 left countless tragic tales for the Three Realms. To defeat these celestial demons, not just ordinary cultivators, even those who had passed through tribulation perished in their thousands.
