yī zhe bù shèn mǎn pán jiē shū ， lín xuān gōng shì zhī líng lì xùn sù ， yuǎn yuǎn chāo guò le duì fāng suǒ néng yù xiǎng de chéng dù ， léi shé zūn zhě de liǎn sè yīn mái yǐ jí ， dàn yú qíng yú lǐ ， zì rán bù kě néng zuò yǐ dài bì 。
一着不慎满盘皆输，林轩攻势之凌厉迅速，远远超过了对方所能预想的程度，雷蛇尊者的脸色阴霾以极，但于情于理，自然不可能坐以待毙。
One wrong move could cost everything. Lin Xuan's offensive was so fierce and swift that it far exceeded what his opponent had anticipated. The expression on the Sovereign of Thunder Snakes' face turned extremely gloomy, but out of both reason and emotion, he naturally couldn't sit idly by.
yǎn jiàn jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn jù lí zì jǐ yǐ bù zú chǐ xǔ ， tā xiǎng dōu bù xiǎng de xī le kǒu qì ， tóng shí shēn xíng yī zhuǎn ， zài yuán dì dī liū liū de kāi shǐ le bù tíng xuán zhuǎn 。
眼见九宫须臾剑距离自己已不足尺许，他想都不想的吸了口气，同时身形一转，在原地滴溜溜的开始了不停旋转。
Seeing the Nine Palaces Must臾 Sword within a moment's distance from him, he inhaled sharply without hesitation and began spinning around his original spot. Immediately, an overwhelming aura emanated from his body surface.
dùn shí ， yī gǔ páng bó de wēi yā cóng qí shēn tǐ biǎo miàn shì fàng chū lái 。
顿时，一股磅礴的威压从其身体表面释放出来。
Accompanying this was countless black demonic qi that enveloped his entire figure.
yǔ zhī xiāng bàn de hái yǒu wú shù hēi sè de yāo qì ， bāo guǒ zhù tā zhěng gè shēn tǐ 。
与之相伴的还有无数黑色的妖气，包裹住他整个身体。
A sharp, eerie howl echoed into his ears, followed by intense light as two long and short bronze ancient halberds emerged from the demonic qi.
yī zhèn jiān lì de guài míng shēng chuán rù ěr lǐ ， suí hòu lì máng dà zuò ， què shì cóng yāo qì zhōng fēi chū le yī cháng yī duǎn liǎng bǐng qīng tóng gǔ gē 。
一阵尖利的怪鸣声传入耳里，随后厉芒大做，却是从妖气中飞出了一长一短两柄青铜古戈。
After a slight spin, they transformed into two monstrous serpents each about the size of a water bucket.
lüè yī pán xuán fēi wǔ ， jū rán huà wèi liǎng tóu shuǐ tǒng cū xì de dú jiǎo guài mǎng le 。
略一盘旋飞舞，居然化为两头水桶粗细的独角怪蟒了。
Blocking the demonic qi, red light flickered in their eyes. A series of beams, thick as an arm, surged out from their gaping mouths.
dǎng yú yāo qì zhī qián ， yǎn zhōng hóng máng shǎn shuò ， yī lǚ lǚ ér bì cū xì de guāng zhù ， yóu qí xuè pén dà kǒu zhōng fēng yōng ér chū 。
挡于妖气之前，眼中红芒闪烁，一缕缕儿臂粗细的光柱，由其血盆大口中蜂拥而出。
The scene was impressive.
shēng shì lìng rén cè mù 。
声势令人侧目。
Taking advantage of these giant snakes for cover, the Sovereign of Thunder Snakes chanted incantations and desperately cast the Lightning遁术. His entire body was wrapped in dazzling electric light, speeding like a black smoke towards the back.
ér chèn zhe zhè liǎng tóu jù mǎng de yǎn hù ， léi shé zūn zhě zé zhòu yǔ tūn tǔ ， pīn mìng de shī zhǎn chū le léi dùn zhī shù ， hún shēn shàng xià bèi yào mù de diàn guāng chán rào bāo guǒ ， fēng chí diàn chè ， huà wèi yī lǚ hēi yān fēi xiàng hòu miàn qù le 。
而趁着这两头巨蟒的掩护，雷蛇尊者则咒语吞吐，拼命的施展出了雷遁之术，浑身上下被耀目的电光缠绕包裹，风驰电掣，化为一缕黑烟飞向后面去了。
His reaction was indeed swift, but Lin Xuan wasn't an ordinary cultivator. How could he let this cooked duck fly away?
zhè jiā huo de fǎn yìng bù kě wèi bù xùn sù ， rán ér lín xuān yě bú shì pǔ tōng xiū xiān zhě ， yǎn kàn zhǔ shú de yā zi ， yòu zěn me kě néng ràng qí fēi zǒu ne ？
这家伙的反应不可谓不迅速，然而林轩也不是普通修仙者，眼看煮熟的鸭子，又怎么可能让其飞走呢？
The monstrous snake-like creature, though terrifying, only had one target for Lin Xuan—the Sovereign of Thunder Snakes himself. A mere piece of treasure couldn't block his path; that was too naive.
nà fǎ bǎo suǒ huà de guài mǎng zhēng níng kě bù ， rán ér lín xuān de yǎn zhōng què zhǐ yǒu qū shǐ tā de léi shé zūn zhě ， qū qū yī jiàn bǎo wù ， jiù xiǎng yào dǎng zhù zì jǐ de qù lù ， shí zài tài tiān zhēn le 。
那法宝所化的怪蟒狰狞可怖，然而林轩的眼中却只有驱使它的雷蛇尊者，区区一件宝物，就想要挡住自己的去路，实在太天真了。
Seeing the other party trying to escape, a hint of mockery curled at the corner of Lin Xuan's lips as he raised his right hand and pointed it forward: "Quickly!"
wàng zhe duì fāng xiǎng yào táo yuǎn ， lín xuān zuǐ jiǎo biān lù chū yī sī jī cháo zhī sè ， yòu shǒu tái qǐ ， cóng róng bù pò de cháo zhe qián fāng yì diǎn ér qù ：“ jí ！”
望着对方想要逃远，林轩嘴角边露出一丝讥嘲之色，右手抬起，从容不迫的朝着前方一点而去：“疾！”
Before the words were even out of his mouth, the surface of the Nine Palaces Must臾 Sword emitted intense light. It split into two paths. Several仙 swords' surfaces flickered with electric arcs, converging in the middle to reveal an image of nine strange birds.
huà yīn wèi luò ， jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn de biǎo miàn yǐ shì lì máng pēn bó ， dāng jí bīng fēn liǎng lù 。 shù bǐng xiān jiàn de biǎo miàn dàn tiào zhe diàn hú ， wǎng zhōng jiān yī hé ， yī jiǔ tóu guài niǎo de xíng xiàng fú xiàn ér chū 。
话音未落，九宫须臾剑的表面已是厉芒喷薄，当即兵分两路。数柄仙剑的表面弹跳着电弧，往中间一合，一九头怪鸟的形象浮现而出。
Lin Xuan had unleashed the secret technique of True Spirit Transforming Sword Art.
lín xuān shī zhǎn chū le zhēn líng huà jiàn jué de mì shù 。
林轩施展出了真灵化剑诀的秘术。
A few weird snakes were merely food for those nine-headed birds.
qū qū jǐ tiáo guài shé ， bù guò shì jiǔ tóu niǎo de shí wù 。
区区几条怪蛇，不过是九头鸟的食物。
With a simple test, he could eliminate them all.
xiǎo shì niú dāo ， jiù zú yǐ jiāng tā men miè chú 。
小试牛刀，就足以将它们灭除。
As for the remaining仙 swords, they connected end-to-end, instantly increasing their speed. In an instant, they intercepted the old monster who had cast the Lightning遁术.
zhì yú shèng xià de xiān jiàn 。 zé shǒu wěi xiāng lián ， dùn shí fēi dùn de sù dù ， yī xià zi zēng jiā le xǔ duō ， qǐng kè jiān ， biàn yǐ jiāng shī zhǎn léi dùn shù de lǎo guài wù gěi jié zhù 。
至于剩下的仙剑。则首尾相连，顿时飞遁的速度，一下子增加了许多，顷刻间，便已将施展雷遁术的老怪物给截住。
"No..."
“ bù ……”
“不……”
The Sovereign of Thunder Snakes was terrified but unwilling to sit idly by. But there was no room for maneuver now.
léi shé zūn zhě jīng kǒng yǐ jí ， yī jiù bù yuàn yì zuò yǐ dài bì 。 dàn zhè shí hòu ， nǎ lǐ hái yǒu téng nuó zhǎn zhuǎn de yú dì 。
雷蛇尊者惊恐以极，依旧不愿意坐以待毙。但这时候，哪里还有腾挪辗转的余地。
Boom!
hōng ！
轰！
A loud explosion rang out as silver light suddenly burst forth, blinding and deafening. The cries of the Sovereign of Thunder Snakes echoed in his ears.
yī shēng jù xiǎng chuán lái ， tóng shí yín sè de guāng huá zhòu rán bào kāi ， cì mù yào yǎn ， léi shé zūn zhě de cǎn jiào bù jué yú ěr biān 。
一声巨响传来，同时银色的光华骤然爆开，刺目耀眼，雷蛇尊者的惨叫不绝于耳边。
Swordlight rained down, slicing through the void horizontally and vertically.
jiàn máng rú yǔ ， zài xū kōng zhōng héng kǎn shù pī 。
剑芒如雨，在虚空中横砍竖劈。
As they say, one misstep leads to wisdom. Just moments ago, his heart had been pierced, yet he still strangely survived and cast a demonic transformation technique.
sú huà shuō 。 chī yī qiàn ， zhǎng yī zhì ， gāng cái ， zhè jiā huo de xīn zàng bèi cì pò ， yī jiù shí fēn guǐ yì de cún huó ， hái shī zhǎn chū le yāo huà mì shù 。
俗话说。吃一堑，长一智，刚才，这家伙的心脏被刺破，依旧十分诡异的存活，还施展出了妖化秘术。
Lin Xuan didn't know exactly how he did it, but out of reason and emotion, he wouldn't repeat the same mistake.
lín xuān suī rán bù qīng chǔ ， tā jiū jìng zěn me zuò dào de zhè yī bù 。 dàn yú qíng yú lǐ ， dāng rán bú huì chóng dǎo fù zhé 。
林轩虽然不清楚，他究竟怎么做到的这一步。但于情于理，当然不会重蹈覆辙。
He quickly reduced his opponent's physical body to powder, leaving no chance for even his soul essence to escape.
hěn kuài jiù jiāng tā de ròu shēn jiǎo wèi le fěn mò ， lián yuán yīng yì méi yǒu jī huì táo tuō 。
很快就将他的肉身绞为了粉末，连元婴亦没有机会逃脱。
Thus, even if this was a True Sage descending here, they couldn’t resurrect again.
rú cǐ yī lái ， jiù suàn tā shì dà luó zhēn xiān jiàng lín yú cǐ chù ， yě xiū xiǎng zài chóng xīn fù huó 。
如此一来，就算他是大罗真仙降临于此处，也休想再重新复活。
The entire process happened so swiftly that recounting it seemed like it took much time. In reality, the actual fighting lasted only about ten breaths.
zhěng gè guò chéng tù qǐ hú luò ， xù shù qǐ lái xiàng shì huā le bù shǎo de gōng fu ， qí shí zhēn zhèng dòng shǒu de shí jiān bù guò shí jǐ xī ér yǐ 。
整个过程兔起鹘落，叙述起来像是花了不少的功夫，其实真正动手的时间不过十几息而已。
A transformation from cultivation stage to tribulation stage was too quick and intricate to describe as dazzling. Ordinary cultivators wouldn't be able to see clearly.
dù jié jí bié de gōng fáng zhuǎn huàn ， tài guò xùn jí 。
渡劫级别的攻防转换，太过迅疾。
In short, in a single exchange, the Sovereign of Thunder Snakes inexplicably perished. The onlookers, all powerful existences, were left speechless.
yòng yǎn huā liáo luàn lái xíng róng dōu yì xiǎn bù zú ， ruò shì pǔ tōng de xiū xiān zhě ， gēn běn jiù kàn bù qīng chǔ 。
用眼花缭乱来形容都亦显不足，若是普通的修仙者，根本就看不清楚。
They had never seen such a strong cultivator before. This young man not only had an incredibly bold heart but also possessed many commendable abilities.
jiǎn dān de shuō 。 jiù shì yí gè zhào miàn de gōng fu ， léi shé zūn zhě jiù mò míng qí miào de yǔn luò ， páng guān de dà néng cún zài ， wú yī bù chēng mù jié shé 。
简单的说。就是一个照面的功夫，雷蛇尊者就莫名其妙的陨落，旁观的大能存在，无一不瞠目结舌。
Though the Sovereign of Thunder Snakes wasn't the strongest among them, he was certainly no weakling and was well-known for his reputation.
jiàn guò qiáng shì de xiū xiān zhě ， méi jiàn guò shuí qiáng shì dào rú cǐ chéng dù 。
见过强势的修仙者，没见过谁强势到如此程度。
Apart from him, few in the room were confident enough to defeat him decisively.
yǎn qián zhè xiǎo jiā huo bù jǐn dǎn zi dà dé lí pǔ 。 shí lì yì yǒu hěn duō kě quān kě diǎn zhī chù 。
眼前这小家伙不仅胆子大得离谱。实力亦有很多可圈可点之处。
This kid was too formidable.
léi shé zūn zhě suī rán bú shì zhè xiē rén zhōng zuì qiáng de ， dàn yě jué fēi ruò zhě ， shuō dé shǎng shēng míng yuǎn bō 。
雷蛇尊者虽然不是这些人中最强的，但也绝非弱者，说得上声名远播。
Who could this mysterious figure be?
bié shuō gān jìng lì luò de jiāng tā miè chú ， zài chǎng yǒu bǎ wò zhàn shèng tā de ， dōu méi yǒu jǐ gè 。
别说干净利落的将他灭除，在场有把握战胜他的，都没有几个。
Everyone would be curious, even True Sage existences.
zhè xiǎo zi tài biāo hàn le 。
这小子太彪悍了。
According to reason, such a powerful cultivator should have been widely known, but strangely, none of them had ever seen him before.
jiū jìng shì hé fāng shén shèng ne ？
究竟是何方神圣呢？
Could he be a reclusive cultivator?
rén dū huì hào qí ， dù jié qī cún zài ， yě méi yǒu lì wài yī shuō 。
人都会好奇，渡劫期存在，也没有例外一说。
But recluses rarely excel in combat.
àn lǐ ， zhè me biāo hàn de xiū xiān zhě ， yīng gāi shēng míng yuǎn bō ， kě qí guài de shì ， zài chǎng de zhòng rén ， dōu bù céng jiàn guò 。
按理，这么彪悍的修仙者，应该声名远播，可奇怪的是，在场的众人，都不曾见过。
Too many questions.
nán dào shì kǔ xiū zhě ？
难道是苦修者？
The confused expressions of the cultivators left everyone speechless, but behind it lay more excitement.
kě kǔ xiū zhě hěn shǎo yǒu rú cǐ shàn yú zhēng dòu de 。
可苦修者很少有如此善于争斗的。
Rain Mist Commercial Alliance was a massive entity; if its rules were violated by a weak cultivator, there would be no看点worth looking forward to.
tài duō tài duō de yí huò 。
太多太多的疑惑。
But this mysterious young man, though his exact cultivation stage couldn't be determined, was likely at the late Tribulation stage.
máng rán de biǎo qíng ràng zhòng xiū shì chēng mù jié shé ， dàn yǐn cáng zài bèi hòu de ， què shì xīng fèn de qíng xù gèng duō 。
茫然的表情让众修士瞠目结舌，但隐藏在背后的，却是兴奋的情绪更多。
And he wasn’t an ordinary cultivator. That made things interesting.
yǔ lán shāng méng shì páng rán dà wù ， ruò pò huài qí guī jǔ de xiū shì shí lì tài ruò ， nà fǎn ér méi yǒu shén me kàn diǎn zhí de qī dài le 。
雨岚商盟是庞然大物，若破坏其规矩的修士实力太弱，那反而没有什么看点值得期待了。
Many people cast curious glances towards the cultivators of the Rain Mist Commercial Alliance here.
ér yǎn qián zhè shén mì de xiǎo jiā huo ， jù tǐ de jìng jiè suī rán bù hǎo shuō ， dàn shí yǒu ** shì dù jié hòu qī de xiū xiān zhě 。
而眼前这神秘的小家伙，具体的境界虽然不好说，但十有**是渡劫后期的修仙者。
The four elders' faces were extremely awkward. Reasonably, they should have teamed up to eliminate Lin Xuan.
ér qiě hái bú shì pǔ tōng de xiū shì ， zhè kě jiù yǒu qù dé jǐn le 。
而且还不是普通的修士，这可就有趣得紧了。
Rain Mist Commercial Alliance's rules forbade any provocations.
bù shǎo rén dōu jiāng wán wèi ér de mù guāng wàng xiàng shāng méng zài cǐ chù de xiū xiān zhě 。
不少人都将玩味儿的目光望向商盟在此处的修仙者。
However, while they wanted to do so, whether they could actually accomplish it was a big question mark.
ér nà sì wèi zhǎng lǎo de biǎo qíng zé shì gān gà dào le jí chù 。
而那四位长老的表情则是尴尬到了极处。
In the cultivation world, might makes right. This mysterious young man clearly wasn't an ordinary cultivator.
yú qíng yú lǐ ， tā men yīng gāi lián shǒu jiāng lín xuān miè chú 。
于情于理，他们应该联手将林轩灭除。
The Sovereign of Thunder Snakes had been eliminated cleanly; if they dared to go up against him, their fate wouldn’t be much better.
yǔ lán shāng méng suǒ lì xià de guī jǔ shì jué bù róng rén tiǎo xìn de 。
雨岚商盟所立下的规矩是绝不容人挑衅的。
It wasn't self-deprecating, but Lin Xuan's displayed combat power was truly astonishing.
wèn tí shì ， tā men suī xiǎng yào zhè me zuò ， dàn zuò bù zuò dé dào ， què shì yí gè hěn dà de wèn tí le 。
问题是，他们虽想要这么做，但做不做得到，却是一个很大的问题了。
Knowing that a desperate gamble offered no chance of victory, yet still doing it, that wasn't bravery; it was foolishness.
xiū xiān jiè shì qiáng zhě wèi zūn de ， zhè shén mì de xiǎo zi xiǎn rán bú shì shén me pǔ tōng xiū xiān zhě 。
修仙界是强者为尊的，这神秘的小子显然不是什么普通修仙者。
Anyone who had reached the Tribulation stage was a shrewd individual. A moment’s thought revealed the pros and cons.
léi shé zūn zhě yǐ bèi tā gān jìng lì luò de miè chú ， zì jǐ sì rén gǎn shàng qù ， xià chǎng kǒng pà yě hǎo bù liǎo shén me 。
雷蛇尊者已被他干净利落的灭除，自己四人敢上去，下场恐怕也好不了什么。
Unable to match him in strength, they would use strategy instead. During the Sovereign of Thunder Snakes' battle with the young man, they had secretly sent out sound transmission talismans. They must have received reinforcements by now.
bú shì wàng zì fěi bó ， ér shì lín xuān biǎo xiàn chū lái de zhàn lì shí zài shì tài jīng rén le 。
不是妄自菲薄，而是林轩表现出来的战力实在是太惊人了。
Thus, although their faces were extremely grim, they weren’t at all panicked.
míng zhī dào fàng shǒu yī bó sī háo shèng suàn yě wú ， hái shǎ hū hū de zhè me zuò ， nà jiù bù yīng gāi chēng zhī wèi yǒng gǎn ， ér shì yú chǔn le 。
明知道放手一搏丝毫胜算也无，还傻乎乎的这么做，那就不应该称之为勇敢，而是愚蠢了。
That damn kid. You’re so arrogant; you’ll regret it soon enough. A True Sage cultivator could indeed be domineering and unimpeded in other circumstances, but trying to cause trouble on the Peach Blossom Banquet was too foolish.
néng gòu xiū liàn dào dù jié qī ， nǎ yí gè bú shì xīn sī líng qiǎo de rén wù ， shāo yī zhuǎn niàn ， jiù jiāng zhè zhōng jiān de lì bì xiǎng qīng chǔ 。
能够修炼到渡劫期，哪一个不是心思灵巧的人物，稍一转念，就将这中间的利弊想清楚。
Lin Xuan understood this situation well.
bù néng lì dí ， nà jiù zhì qǔ ， gāng cái nà xiǎo zi yǔ léi shé zūn zhě dòu fǎ de shí hòu ， tā men yǐ qiāo qiāo fā chū le chuán yīn fú ， xiǎng bì yuán bīng yě yīng gāi dào le 。
不能力敌，那就智取，刚才那小子与雷蛇尊者斗法的时候，他们已悄悄发出了传音符，想必援兵也应该到了。
But a man has his limits. Lin Xuan was someone who knew right from wrong; how could he just stand by as Fairy Yuyan faced danger?
suǒ yǐ sì rén de liǎn sè suī yīn chén wú bǐ ， dàn yào shuō huāng luàn ， què shì jué duì suàn bù shàng dì 。
所以四人的脸色虽阴沉无比，但要说慌乱，却是绝对算不上地。
Even if it meant offending the Rain Mist Commercial Alliance, since things had come to this point, Lin Xuan wasn't afraid of anything.
kě wù de xiǎo jiā huo ， nǐ bú shì hěn xiāo zhāng me ， yī huì er yǒu dé nǐ hòu huǐ de ， dù jié qī xiū xiān zhě ， ruò shì huàn yí gè chǎng hé ， què shí kě yǐ yí zhǐ qì shǐ ， héng xíng wú jì ， dàn xiǎng yào dào pán táo huì shàng lái sā yě ， què shì tài yú chǔn le xiē 。
可恶的小家伙，你不是很嚣张么，一会儿有得你后悔的，渡劫期修仙者，若是换一个场合，确实可以颐指气使，横行无忌，但想要到蟠桃会上来撒野，却是太愚蠢了些。
There was no use fearing; when the time came, he would face whatever challenges arose. Since he embarked on his cultivation path, Lin Xuan had encountered countless hardships and dangers but managed to turn them into opportunities for survival. He didn’t believe that advancing to late Tribulation stage would result in his downfall here.
zhè zhǒng qíng kuàng ， lín xuān yòu hé cháng bù qīng chǔ 。
这种情况，林轩又何尝不清楚。
The trouble he caused was significant, but there were always ways to resolve it.
dàn dà zhàng fū yǒu suǒ wèi ， yǒu suǒ bù wèi ， lín xuān gèng shì ēn yuàn fēn míng de rén wù ， tā zěn me kě néng yǎn kàn zhe rú yān xiān zi shēn xiàn xiǎn dì ér bù jiù ne 。
但大丈夫有所为，有所不为，林轩更是恩怨分明的人物，他怎么可能眼看着如嫣仙子身陷险地而不救呢。
Rain Mist Commercial Alliance might be a massive entity, but they wouldn't risk any costs just to eliminate him.
dé zuì yǔ lán shāng méng yòu rú hé ， fǎn zhèng shì yǐ zhì cǐ ， lín xuān dào yě bìng bù wèi jù shén me 。
得罪雨岚商盟又如何，反正事已至此，林轩倒也并不畏惧什么。
No one would do such a thing.
pà yě méi yǒu yòng tú ， dào shí hòu bīng lái jiāng dǎng ， shuǐ lái tǔ yǎn hǎo le ， zì cóng tà shàng xiū xiān zhī lù ， lín xuān jīng lì liǎo wú shù de jiān nán xiǎn zǔ ， dāng chū dōu kě yǐ huà xiǎn wéi yí ， tā bù xiāng xìn zì jǐ jìn jiē dào le dù jié hòu qī ， hái huì yǔn luò yú zhè lǐ 。
怕也没有用途，到时候兵来将挡，水来土掩好了，自从踏上修仙之路，林轩经历了无数的艰难险阻，当初都可以化险为夷，他不相信自己进阶到了渡劫后期，还会陨落于这里。
After all, he only broke their rules without truly opposing them.
rě xià de má fán shì dà le yī xiē ， dàn zǒng yǒu jiě jué de yú dì 。
惹下的麻烦是大了一些，但总有解决的余地。

Knowing that a desperate gamble offered no chance of victory, yet still doing it, that wasn't bravery; it was foolishness.
Anyone who had reached the Tribulation stage was a shrewd individual. A moment’s thought revealed the pros and cons.
Unable to match him in strength, they would use strategy instead. During the Sovereign of Thunder Snakes' battle with the young man, they had secretly sent out sound transmission talismans. They must have received reinforcements by now.
Thus, although their faces were extremely grim, they weren’t at all panicked.
That damn kid. You’re so arrogant; you’ll regret it soon enough. A True Sage cultivator could indeed be domineering and unimpeded in other circumstances, but trying to cause trouble on the Peach Blossom Banquet was too foolish.
Lin Xuan understood this situation well.
But a man has his limits. Lin Xuan was someone who knew right from wrong; how could he just stand by as Fairy Yuyan faced danger?
Even if it meant offending the Rain Mist Commercial Alliance, since things had come to this point, Lin Xuan wasn't afraid of anything.
There was no use fearing; when the time came, he would face whatever challenges arose. Since he embarked on his cultivation path, Lin Xuan had encountered countless hardships and dangers but managed to turn them into opportunities for survival. He didn’t believe that advancing to late Tribulation stage would result in his downfall here.
The trouble he caused was significant, but there were always ways to resolve it.
Rain Mist Commercial Alliance might be a massive entity, but they wouldn't risk any costs just to eliminate him.
No one would do such a thing.
After all, he only broke their rules without truly opposing them.
