林轩双手连连挥动，光芒狂闪，将几件古宝同时祭了起来，周围的阴魂鬼修无不神色大变，一位凝丹期修士，本来就非他们所能匹敌，更何况眼前这位的神通，显然远超同阶修士。
Lin Xuan waved his hands rapidly, causing a burst of light to flash as he consecrated several ancient treasures at once. The surrounding ghost cultivators' expressions changed dramatically; a condensation core stage cultivator was already beyond their match, but the abilities of this one before them were clearly far superior to those of peers.
rán ér zhè jǐn jǐn shì kāi shǐ ……
然而这仅仅是开始……
However, this was only the beginning…
lín xuān wàng zhe zhōu wéi yǎn dài wèi jù de dí rén ， lěng xiào yī shēng ， zhāi xià xì zài yāo jiān de líng guǐ dài ， jiāng dài kǒu de sī xiàn jiě kāi 。
林轩望着周围眼带畏惧的敌人，冷笑一声，摘下系在腰间的灵鬼袋，将袋口的丝线解开。
Lin Xuan looked at his fearful enemies and sneered, then took off the spirit ghost bag tied around his waist. He untied the thread on its mouth.
hēi yān mí màn ， jiā zá zhe shā yǎ de dī hǒu ， bā jù tiě jiǎ liàn shī zài wù qì zhōng ruò yǐn ruò xiàn ， yí gè gè shēn cái gāo dà ， yǎn zhōng shǎn shuò zhe shì xuè de xiōng guāng 。
黑烟弥漫，夹杂着沙哑的低吼，八具铁甲炼尸在雾气中若隐若现，一个个身材高大，眼中闪烁着嗜血的凶光。
Black smokespreaded, mixed with a hoarse growl. Eight iron-armored refined corpses appeared intermittently in the mist, each towering and their eyes flashing with predatory ferocity.
jiàn shào yé dòng shǒu ， yuè ér zì rán yě bú huì xián zhe ， shǒu zhōng mó fān qīng yáo ， sī hǒu shēng zhōng ， shàng bǎi tóu qí xíng guài zhuàng de shòu hún yě fēn fēn xiàn shēn 。
见少爷动手，月儿自然也不会闲着，手中魔幡轻摇，嘶吼声中，上百头奇形怪状的兽魂也纷纷现身。
Seeing Young Master take action, Yue'er naturally wasn't idle either. She waved her demon banner, and the howls of hundreds of strange beasts emerged as well.
suī rán zhǔ pú zhǐ yǒu liǎng rén ， dàn qì shì shàng ， què wán quán jiāng duì fāng yā dǎo 。
虽然主仆只有两人，但气势上，却完全将对方压倒。
Though Lin Xuan and Yue'er were only two people, their presence completely overpowered the others.
“ dòng shǒu ！”
“动手！”
"Attack!"
lín xuān shuāng shǒu rú chē lún bān lián lián huī dòng ， yī dào yī dào de fǎ jué fēi shè ér chū ， jǐ jiàn gǔ bǎo tóng shí qīng chàn ， rán hòu huà wèi le cì mù de hán máng ……
林轩双手如车轮般连连挥动，一道一道的法诀飞射而出，几件古宝同时轻颤，然后化为了刺目的寒芒……
Lin Xuan's hands moved like a wheel, sending out wave after wave of spells. Several ancient treasures trembled slightly before transforming into piercing cold light…
jǐn jiē zhe ， liàn shī yě pū shàng qù le 。
紧接着，炼尸也扑上去了。
Then, the refined corpses pounced.
yīn hún men suī rán yǒu xiē wèi jù ， dàn shān gǔ wéi yī de chū kǒu yǐ jīng bèi fēng sǐ ， sú huà shuō gǒu jí tiào qiáng ， tù zi jí le hái yǎo rén ， hé kuàng shì xiōng měng de lì guǐ 。
阴魂们虽然有些畏惧，但山谷唯一的出口已经被封死，俗话说狗急跳墙，兔子急了还咬人，何况是凶猛的厉鬼。
The ghosts, though fearful, had no choice as the only exit to the valley was sealed off. As the saying goes, desperate dogs will jump through windows; desperate rabbits will bite back, and these were fiercesevereghosts indeed.
yī cháng dà zhàn zài shān gǔ zhōng màn yán le kāi lái 。 jiān 。
一场大战在山谷中蔓延了开来。间。
A great battle raged throughout the valley.
guāng yǐng jiàn àn ， gè zhǒng bào liè de shēng xiǎng yě zhú jiàn píng xī le xià lái 。
光影渐黯，各种爆裂的声响也逐渐平息了下来。
As light and shadow faded, various explosive sounds gradually subsided.
suǒ yǒu de yīn hún quán bèi jiǎo miè dé yī gān èr jìng ， zhěng gè shān gǔ zhǐ shèng xià le lín xuān zhǔ pú èr rén 。
所有的阴魂全被剿灭得一干二净，整个山谷只剩下了林轩主仆二人。
All the ghosts were completely exterminated, leaving only Lin Xuan and Yue'er in the valley.
rán ér lín xuān bìng méi yǒu yīn cǐ fàng xià xīn shì ， yīn wèi wài miàn yǐ jīng yǒu hōng lōng lóng de jù xiǎng chuán le guò lái ， suī rán lín xuān yǐ zài shān gǔ zhōu wéi bù xià le zhèn fǎ 。 ér jí yīn è líng zhèn yě què shí néng gòu píng bì shēng yīn ， kě gāng cái de dòng jìng tài dà ， dào dǐ hái shì jīng dòng le wài miàn de guǐ hún 。
然而林轩并没有因此放下心事，因为外面已经有轰隆隆的巨响传了过来，虽然林轩已在山谷周围布下了阵法。而极阴恶灵阵也确实能够屏蔽声音，可刚才的动静太大，到底还是惊动了外面的鬼魂。
However, Lin Xuan didn't relax. There was already a rumbling sound outside, though he had set up an array around the valley. The extremely Yin evil spirit array could indeed shield against noise, but the commotion earlier was too loud; it had certainly alarmed the ghosts outside.
ér qiě cóng nà dòng jìng tīng lái ， shù liàng zhe shí bù shǎo 。 děng jí yě dōu hěn gāo 。
而且从那动静听来，数量着实不少。等级也都很高。
Moreover, from the sounds, there were quite a few of them, and their levels were high as well.
lín xuān suī rán yì gāo rén dǎn dà ， què yě bù gǎn zài zhè ér jì xù dān gē xià qù le a ！
林轩虽然艺高人胆大，却也不敢在这儿继续耽搁下去了啊！
Although Lin Xuan was bold due to his skill, he still couldn't afford to linger here any longer!
lián máng ràng yuè ér fēi huí yī xiù ， zì jǐ zé lái dào le gāo tái dì gǔ chuán sòng zhèn shàng 。
连忙让月儿飞回衣袖，自己则来到了高台地古传送阵上。
He hurriedly made Yue'er fly back into his sleeve while he came over to the ancient teleportation array on the platform.
yī dào fǎ jué mò rù qí zhōng ， chuán sòng zhèn wū wū de yùn zhuàn qǐ lái 。 hěn kuài ， yī dào jīn guāng cóng lǐ miàn pēn bó ér chū ， bāo guǒ zhù lín xuān de shēn tǐ 。
一道法诀没入其中，传送阵呜呜的运转起来。很快，一道金光从里面喷薄而出，包裹住林轩的身体。
A spell entered it, causing the array to hum. Soon, a golden light burst forth from within, enveloping Lin Xuan's body.
wài miàn de zhèn fǎ shǎn shuò bù yǐ ， yáo yáo yù zhuì ， bù guò lín xuān yǐ jīng xiān yī bù xiāo shī dé wú yǐng wú zōng 。
外面的阵法闪烁不已，摇摇欲坠，不过林轩已经先一步消失得无影无踪。
Outside, the array flickered and wavered, but Lin Xuan had already vanished without a trace.
“ hǎo téng ！”
“好疼！”
"Ouch!"
yī dào jīn máng shǎn guò ， lín xuān chū xiàn zài le yī mò shēng dì dì fāng 。 rán ér què jiǎo xià yī ruǎn ， chà diǎn zhàn lì bú zhù 。
一道金芒闪过，林轩出现在了一陌生地地方。然而却脚下一软，差点站立不住。
A flash of golden light revealed Lin Xuan in an unfamiliar place. However, his legs gave way, nearly causing him to fall.
yǐ qián lín xuān yě bú shì méi yǒu jīng lì guò chuán sòng ， rán ér zhè yī cì jù lí tài yuǎn ， chéng shòu de kōng jiān yā lì chéng jǐ hé dì zēng ， xìng hǎo tā yǐ jīn dān dà chéng ， ér qiě zài chuán sòng de shùn jiān ， dǎ kāi le jiǔ tiān líng dùn ， fǒu zé bèi kōng jiān zhī lì sī chě chéng suì piàn yě bù yí dìng 。
以前林轩也不是没有经历过传送，然而这一次距离太远，承受的空间压力呈几何递增，幸好他已金丹大成，而且在传送的瞬间，打开了九天灵盾，否则被空间之力撕扯成碎片也不一定。
Lin Xuan wasn't inexperienced with teleportation; however, this distance was too great, and the spatial pressure increased exponentially. Fortunately, he had already reached Great Golden Core stage, and during the instant of teleportation, he activated the Nine Heavens Qi Shield. Otherwise, he might have been torn apart by spatial forces.
suī rán jiǎo xìng wú yàng ， dàn duō shǎo yě shòu le yì diǎn shāng 。 rán ér lín xuān què gù bù dé chá kàn zì jǐ de shēn tǐ zhuàng kuàng 。 shǒu yī yáng ， yī dào jīn máng shǎn xiàn 。 hěn hěn dì xiàng zhe chuán sòng zhèn pī cì xià lái 。 cī lā de yī shēng ， lín xuān cǐ kè suī rán yǒu diǎn xū ruò 。 dàn quán lì fàng chū de jiàn máng yī jiù fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， chéng gōng de jiāng gǔ chuán sòng zhèn pò huài diào le 。
虽然侥幸无恙，但多少也受了一点伤。然而林轩却顾不得查看自己的身体状况。手一扬，一道金芒闪现。狠狠地向着传送阵劈刺下来。刺啦的一声，林轩此刻虽然有点虚弱。但全力放出的剑芒依旧非同小可，成功的将古传送阵破坏掉了。
Although he survived unscathed, he still suffered a bit of injury. But Lin Xuan didn't bother checking his condition. He raised his hand, and a golden light flashed down sharply towards the teleportation array. With a tearing sound, although weakened, the full power of his sword beam was formidable enough to destroy the ancient teleportation array.
rán hòu tā bù gù xíng xiàng de tān dào zài dì 。 dà shēng dà shēng de chuǎn xī 。
然后他不顾形象的瘫倒在地。大声大声的喘息。
Then, he collapsed on the ground, gasping heavily.
cóng chǔ wù dài lǐ tāo chū yù píng ， bá kāi píng sāi ， jiāng lǐ miàn liáo shāng dì dān yào jǐ kǒu tūn fú xià qù ， hái hǎo ， zài nà chǔ jiā suǒ kāi de fāng shì ， zì jǐ liàn zhì le yī xiē ， xiàn zài guǒ rán pài shàng le yòng tú 。
从储物袋里掏出玉瓶，拔开瓶塞，将里面疗伤地丹药几口吞服下去，还好，在那楚家所开的坊市，自己炼制了一些，现在果然派上了用途。
He took out an jade bottle from his storage bracelet, uncorked it, and swallowed several healing pills down. Thankfully, he had refined some at the Chu Family's marketplace; they were now proving useful.
“ shào yé ， nǐ méi shì ba ！” bàn suí zhe guān xīn de huà yǔ ， yuè ér lái dào le tā de miàn qián 。
“少爷，你没事吧！”伴随着关心的话语，月儿来到了他的面前。
"Young Master, are you alright!" Yue'er came to him with concern.
xiǎo yā tou shì yīn hún zhī tǐ ， yòu duǒ zài lín xuān de xiù zi lǐ ， suǒ yǐ fǎn ér méi yǒu shòu dào kōng jiān zhī lì de yǐng xiǎng 。
小丫头是阴魂之体，又躲在林轩的袖子里，所以反而没有受到空间之力的影响。
The young girl was a ghost body, hiding in Lin Xuan's sleeve, so she wasn't affected by spatial forces.
“ hái hǎo ， xiū xī yī huì er jiù méi shì le ， yuè ér bāng wǒ hù fǎ 。”
“还好，休息一会儿就没事了，月儿帮我护法。”
"Fortunately, I'll be fine after resting for a while. Yue'er, guard me."
lín xuān xū ruò de fēn fù ， bù guò shēng yīn lǐ què tòu zhe xǐ sè ， bì jìng bù zhī dào zì jǐ rú jīn shēn zài hé chù ， fù jìn yǒu méi yǒu wēi xiǎn ， bù guò yǒu yuè ér zài ， yīng gāi kě yǐ què bǎo ān quán 。
林轩虚弱的吩咐，不过声音里却透着喜色，毕竟不知道自己如今身在何处，附近有没有危险，不过有月儿在，应该可以确保安全。
Lin Xuan weakly instructed but sounded relieved. After all, he didn't know where he was and whether there were any dangers nearby, but with Yue'er around, it should ensure his safety.
tā màn màn de zuò le qǐ lái ， shuāng shǒu píng jǔ ， xū fàng yú xiōng qián ， tǐ nèi líng lì liú zhuǎn ， kāi shǐ liàn huà qǐ gāng cái tūn fú de dān yào lái 。
他慢慢的坐了起来，双手平举，虚放于胸前，体内灵力流转，开始炼化起刚才吞服的丹药来。
He slowly sat up, extending both hands in front of him as he circulated his spirit energy to begin digesting the pills he had just consumed.
zhuǎn yǎn ， liǎng gè shí chén guò qù le 。
转眼，两个时辰过去了。
Two hours passed.
lín xuān shū le kǒu qì ， cóng dì shàng zhàn qǐ ， zhè cì shòu kōng jiān zhī lì dì yǐng xiǎng ， shēn shàng dì shāng bǐ xiǎng xiàng de hái zhòng ， hǎo zài rú jīn zǒng suàn shì huī fù le jiàn kāng 。
林轩舒了口气，从地上站起，这次受空间之力地影响，身上地伤比想象的还重，好在如今总算是恢复了健康。
Lin Xuan exhaled, standing up. The injuries from spatial forces were worse than expected, but fortunately, he was now fully healed.
rán hòu lín xuān kāi shǐ níng shén dǎ liàng qǐ zhōu wéi dì huán jìng 。
然后林轩开始凝神打量起周围地环境。
Then, Lin Xuan began to carefully observe his surroundings.
zhè ér sì hū shì yī chù sēn lín 。
这儿似乎是一处森林。
It seemed like a forest here.
huán jìng shí fēn mò shēng de yàng zi 。
环境十分陌生的样子。
The environment was very unfamiliar.
bù guò lín xuān sī háo yě bù gǎn dào qí guài ， zhè ér jì rán shì gǔ chuán sòng zhèn zhī suǒ zài ， bú yòng shuō ， kěn dìng shì mǒu chù qióng shān è shuǐ ， rén jì hǎn zhì dì dì fāng 。
不过林轩丝毫也不感到奇怪，这儿既然是古传送阵之所在，不用说，肯定是某处穷山恶水，人迹罕至地地方。
But Lin Xuan wasn't surprised; since this place had an ancient teleportation array, it must be some remote and desolate area with few people.
fǒu zé ， hái bù zǎo bèi wài miàn de xiū shì fā jué 。
否则，还不早被外面的修士发觉。
Otherwise, it would have been discovered by cultivators long ago.
yī shí zhī jiān ， lín xuān yě nòng bù qīng chǔ zì jǐ zài nǎ lǐ ， lüè yī sī suǒ ， tā téng kōng fēi qǐ lái le ， zhǐ jiàn dōng nán xī běi sì gè fāng xiàng ， jiē bù mǎn le mián yán bù jué ， jùn xiù tǐng bá dì qún shān ， yī yǎn wàng bú dào biān 。
一时之间，林轩也弄不清楚自己在哪里，略一思索，他腾空飞起来了，只见东南西北四个方向，皆布满了绵延不绝，俊秀挺拔地群山，一眼望不到边。
For now, Lin Xuan didn't know where he was. After a moment's thought, he took to the air, seeing mountains stretching endlessly in all four directions: east, west, north, and south.
lín xuān zuǐ jiǎo biān bù yóu de lù chū yī sī kǔ sè de xiào róng ， tiān zhī dào zì jǐ bèi chuán sòng dào le shén me mán huāng de suǒ zài 。
林轩嘴角边不由得露出一丝苦涩的笑容，天知道自己被传送到了什么蛮荒的所在。
Lin Xuan couldn't help smiling bitterly; heaven only knew where he had been teleported to.
bù guò lín xuān yě bìng bù ào nǎo ， zǒng zhī shì táo chū le nà xiē yīn hún de bāo wéi 。
不过林轩也并不懊恼，总之是逃出了那些阴魂的包围。
But he wasn't regretful; at least he had escaped from those ghosts' encirclement.
ér qiě cóng chǔ jiā dé lái de xìn xī ， tā men suī rán cóng lái méi yǒu yòng guò zhè chuán sòng zhèn ， dàn yóu jiā zú lǐ de zhèn fǎ shī tuī cè ， de lìng yī tóu ， yīng gāi shì zài yōu zhōu de fù dì zhī nèi 。
而且从楚家得来的信息，他们虽然从来没有用过这传送阵，但由家族里的阵法师推测，的另一头，应该是在幽州的腹地之内。
According to information from the Chu Family, although they never used this array before, based on their family's array masters' speculation, the other end should be somewhere in the heart of Youzhou.
yǒu zhè liǎng diǎn ， jiù yǐ jīng gòu le 。
有这两点，就已经够了。
That was enough.
cǐ kè ， yǐ jīng shì lí míng shí fēn ， bù guò tiān kōng zhōng yī jiù yǒu bù shǎo xīng xīng ， lín xuān tái tóu ， lüè wēi biàn shí le yī xià fāng xiàng ， jiù huà wèi yī dào dùn guāng ， xiāo shī zài le tiān biān de fāng xiàng 。
此刻，已经是黎明时分，不过天空中依旧有不少星星，林轩抬头，略微辨识了一下方向，就化为一道遁光，消失在了天边的方向。
It was now dawn, but there were still stars in the sky. Lin Xuan looked up, roughly determined the direction, and transformed into a streak of light that disappeared towards the horizon.
mǒu zuò xiǎo shān de shān dǐng ， yí gè róng mào pǔ tōng de nián qīng rén zhèng zài dǎ zuò ， bú yòng shuō ， zì rán shì lín xuān le 。
某座小山的山顶，一个容貌普通的年轻人正在打坐，不用说，自然是林轩了。
On top of a small mountain, an ordinary-looking young man was meditating. Naturally, it was Lin Xuan.
tā yǐ zhěng zhěng de fēi le sān tiān ， cǐ kè shì shāo shāo huī fù yī xià fǎ lì ， shuō qǐ lái ， zhè jiàn shì qíng hái zhēn yǒu xiē guài yì ， yǐ tā rú jīn de dùn guāng sù dù ， sān tiān bù xiū bù mián ， zhì shǎo yǐ jīng fēi chū le shàng wàn lǐ ， kě yuǎn yuǎn wàng qù ， yī rán shì mián yán bù jué de qún shān ， zhōu wéi de huán jìng méi yǒu yī dīng diǎn gǎi biàn 。
他已整整的飞了三天，此刻是稍稍恢复一下法力，说起来，这件事情还真有些怪异，以他如今的遁光速度，三天不休不眠，至少已经飞出了上万里，可远远望去，依然是绵延不绝的群山，周围的环境没有一丁点改变。
He had flown for three days straight to recover his cultivation force. This matter truly felt strange; with his current speed, he should have traveled at least ten thousand miles in three days without rest, but looking around, the mountains stretched endlessly, and the environment hadn't changed a bit.
yuán běn ， zhè méi shén me ， yōu zhōu miàn jī guǎng kuò ， qióng shān è shuǐ shǔ bù shèng shǔ ， ér yǒu yī xiē huāng mán zhī dì ， gèng shì dà dé lí pǔ ， bǐ rú shuō ， shí wàn dà shān ， guāng tīng míng zì ， jiù kě yǐ xiǎng xiàng yǒu duō dà le 。
原本，这没什么，幽州面积广阔，穷山恶水数不胜数，而有一些荒蛮之地，更是大得离谱，比如说，十万大山，光听名字，就可以想象有多大了。
This wasn't unusual; Youzhou was vast, and there were countless desolate areas. Some places were so remote that they seemed endless, like the Ten Thousand Mountains.
zhēn zhèng ràng lín xuān gǎn dào zhòu méi de shì ， tā yǐ jīng fēi le zhěng zhěng sān tiān ， jū rán lián yī zhī niǎo ér yě méi yǒu 。
真正让林轩感到皱眉的是，他已经飞了整整三天，居然连一只鸟儿也没有。
What truly made Lin Xuan frown was that he had flown for three full days without seeing even one bird.
yào zhī dào zhè lǐ zài rén jì hǎn zhì ， bì jìng shì shān lín a ， jiàn bú dào xiū shì de zōng jì ， hái shǔ zhèng cháng ， bì jìng gǔ chuán sòng zhèn yǐ jīng yǒu bǎi wàn nián de lì shǐ ， huò xǔ yǐ qián zhè ér céng jīng hěn fán huá ， kě xiàn zài rú jīn ， cāng hǎi sāng tián ， biàn chéng zhè zhǒng mán huāng zhī dì yě bù qí guài 。
要知道这里再人迹罕至，毕竟是山林啊，见不到修士的踪迹，还属正常，毕竟古传送阵已经有百万年的历史，或许以前这儿曾经很繁华，可现在如今，沧海桑田，变成这种蛮荒之地也不奇怪。
Knowing how remote this place was, it should be a forest; not seeing any cultivators' traces was normal since the ancient teleportation array had a history of over a million years. Perhaps it used to be bustling, but now, with the passage of time, it had turned into a desolate wilderness.
kě shàng wàn lǐ lù ， lián dòng wù yě méi yǒu ， zhè jiù zhe shí lìng rén gǎn dào bù kě sī yì le ， jí biàn shì lín xuān zhè yàng de níng dān qī xiū xiān zhě ， yě gǎn dào yǒu diǎn máo gǔ sǒng rán 。
可上万里路，连动物也没有，这就着实令人感到不可思议了，即便是林轩这样的凝丹期修仙者，也感到有点毛骨耸然。
But finding no animals for ten thousand miles was truly bizarre and somewhat unsettling, even for Lin Xuan, a condensation core stage cultivator.
ér qiě zhè jǐ tiān lái ， lín xuān xīn zhōng zǒng yǒu yī zhǒng bù ān de gǎn jué ， jiù xiàng yǒu shén me wēi xiǎn yào lái lín shì de ， qǐ chū hái zhǐ shì yì diǎn diǎn ， zhè jǐ tiān ， què jiàn jiàn de nóng le qǐ lái 。
而且这几天来，林轩心中总有一种不安的感觉，就像有什么危险要来临似的，起初还只是一点点，这几天，却渐渐的浓了起来。
Moreover, he felt an unease in his heart these few days, as if some danger was imminent. At first, it was just a faint feeling, but over the past few days, it had grown stronger.
lín xuān kě bù rèn wéi zì jǐ shì yí shén yí guǐ ， yǐ zì jǐ rú jīn de xiū wèi ， tè bié shì qiáng dà de shén shí ， néng gòu gǎn yìng dào yī xiē shì ， yě shì hěn zhèng cháng de shì 。
林轩可不认为自己是疑神疑鬼，以自己如今的修为，特别是强大的神识，能够感应到一些事，也是很正常的事。
Lin Xuan didn't think he was paranoid; with his current cultivation and powerful divine sense, sensing certain things wasn't out of the ordinary.
Lin Xuan waved his hands rapidly, causing a burst of light to flash as he consecrated several ancient treasures at once. The surrounding ghost cultivators' expressions changed dramatically; a condensation core stage cultivator was already beyond their match, but the abilities of this one before them were clearly far superior to those of peers.
However, this was only the beginning…
Lin Xuan looked at his fearful enemies and sneered, then took off the spirit ghost bag tied around his waist. He untied the thread on its mouth.
Black smokespreaded, mixed with a hoarse growl. Eight iron-armored refined corpses appeared intermittently in the mist, each towering and their eyes flashing with predatory ferocity.
Seeing Young Master take action, Yue'er naturally wasn't idle either. She waved her demon banner, and the howls of hundreds of strange beasts emerged as well.
Though Lin Xuan and Yue'er were only two people, their presence completely overpowered the others.
"Attack!"
Lin Xuan's hands moved like a wheel, sending out wave after wave of spells. Several ancient treasures trembled slightly before transforming into piercing cold light…
Then, the refined corpses pounced.
The ghosts, though fearful, had no choice as the only exit to the valley was sealed off. As the saying goes, desperate dogs will jump through windows; desperate rabbits will bite back, and these were fiercesevereghosts indeed.
A great battle raged throughout the valley.
As light and shadow faded, various explosive sounds gradually subsided.
All the ghosts were completely exterminated, leaving only Lin Xuan and Yue'er in the valley.
However, Lin Xuan didn't relax. There was already a rumbling sound outside, though he had set up an array around the valley. The extremely Yin evil spirit array could indeed shield against noise, but the commotion earlier was too loud; it had certainly alarmed the ghosts outside.

With a tearing sound, although weakened, the full power of his sword beam was formidable enough to destroy the ancient teleportation array.
Then, he collapsed on the ground, gasping heavily.
He took out an jade bottle from his storage bracelet, uncorked it, and swallowed several healing pills down. Thankfully, he had refined some at the Chu Family's marketplace; they were now proving useful.
"Young Master, are you alright!" Yue'er came to him with concern.
The young girl was a ghost body, hiding in Lin Xuan's sleeve, so she wasn't affected by spatial forces.
"Fortunately, I'll be fine after resting for a while. Yue'er, guard me."

It was now dawn, but there were still stars in the sky. Lin Xuan looked up, roughly determined the direction, and transformed into a streak of light that disappeared towards the horizon.
On top of a small mountain, an ordinary-looking young man was meditating. Naturally, it was Lin Xuan.
He had flown for three days straight to recover his cultivation force. This matter truly felt strange; with his current speed, he should have traveled at least ten thousand miles in three days without rest, but looking around, the mountains stretched endlessly, and the environment hadn't changed a bit.
This wasn't unusual; Youzhou was vast, and there were countless desolate areas. Some places were so remote that they seemed endless, like the Ten Thousand Mountains.
What truly made Lin Xuan frown was that he had flown for three full days without seeing even one bird.
Knowing how remote this place was, it should be a forest; not seeing any cultivators' traces was normal since the ancient teleportation array had a history of over a million years. Perhaps it used to be bustling, but now, with the passage of time, it had turned into a desolate wilderness.
But finding no animals for ten thousand miles was truly bizarre and somewhat unsettling, even for Lin Xuan, a condensation core stage cultivator.
Moreover, he felt an unease in his heart these few days, as if some danger was imminent. At first, it was just a faint feeling, but over the past few days, it had grown stronger.
Lin Xuan didn't think he was paranoid; with his current cultivation and powerful divine sense, sensing certain things wasn't out of the ordinary.
