A series of twists and turns!
yī bō sān zhé ！
一波三折！
Lin Xuan's heart was immediately filled with a bad omen.
lín xuān xīn zhōng dùn shí yǒu bù hǎo de yù gǎn fú xiàn ér chū 。
林轩心中顿时有不好的预感浮现而出。
Although this woman’s strength certainly couldn't match his, she had definitely passed the劫stage. Now, seeing her act so panicked, it was easy to imagine the dangers and difficulties she faced.
cǐ nǚ de shí lì ， suī rán kěn dìng bù jí zì jǐ ， dàn yě shì rú jiǎ bāo huàn de dù jié hòu qī ， rú jīn jū rán rú cǐ jīng huāng shī cuò ， nà tā suǒ zāo yù de wēi xiǎn yǔ kùn nán yě jiù kě xiǎng ér zhī le 。
此女的实力，虽然肯定不及自己，但也是如假包换的渡劫后期，如今居然如此惊慌失措，那她所遭遇的危险与困难也就可想而知了。
Lin Xuan's face darkened instantly. The expression on the Green Spirit Daoist's face mirrored his own. Having cultivated to become a domain powerhouse, their intelligence wasn't weak. After a moment of thought, they both understood the situation.
lín xuān de liǎn sè dùn shí yīn mái wú bǐ 。
林轩的脸色顿时阴霾无比。
They exchanged glances and stopped their actions simultaneously. Self-destructive fighting in such an unclear situation was foolish. They would first observe before making any decisions.
ér nà qīng líng dào rén de biǎo qíng yì xiāng chà fǎng fú ， néng gòu xiū liàn chéng wéi lǐng yù qiáng zhě ， zhì shāng zì rán bú huì ruò ， zhè qí zhōng de guān jié yuán wěi ， lüè yī sī suǒ ， yě jiù yǒu le méi mù 。
而那青灵道人的表情亦相差仿佛，能够修炼成为领域强者，智商自然不会弱，这其中的关节原委，略一思索，也就有了眉目。
...
liǎng rén duì shì yī yǎn ， bù yuē ér tóng de tíng xià le shǒu lǐ de dòng zuò 。
两人对视一眼，不约而同的停下了手里的动作。
The woman was now like a bird that had just escaped from a trap, moving at full speed. Just moments ago, she seemed far away on the horizon, but suddenly, she appeared right in front of them.
zài jú shì shàng wèi míng lǎng de qíng kuàng xià zì xiāng cán shā ， nà kě jiù shì yú bù kě jí de chǔn huò ， qiě xiān kàn kàn qíng kuàng zài zuò dìng duó 。
在局势尚未明朗的情况下自相残杀，那可就是愚不可及的蠢货，且先看看情况再做定夺。
When she was still several dozen feet away, her light slowed down and stopped. Then, with a wave of her hand, two streaks of red light shot out from her sleeves, heading straight for them.
……
……
Lin Xuan's keen eyesight allowed him to see clearly that what the other party had summoned wasn't any treasure, but just an ordinary communication talisman.
nà fù rén cǐ shí yǐ yǔ jīng gōng zhī niǎo xiāng chà fǎng fú ， quán lì shī wéi xià ， sù dù zì rán bù ruò ， gù ér qián yī kè kàn ， fǎng fú hái zài jí yuǎn de tiān biān ， dàn xià yī kè ， jiù chū xiàn zài le yǎn qián 。
那妇人此时已与惊弓之鸟相差仿佛，全力施为下，速度自然不弱，故而前一刻看，仿佛还在极远的天边，但下一刻，就出现在了眼前。
Seeing this, Lin Xuan raised his eyebrows and felt even more certain that the trouble they faced was far greater than he imagined.
zài jù lí èr rén hái yǒu shù shí zhàng de shí hòu ， tā dùn guāng yī huǎn ， jū rán tíng le xià lái 。
在距离二人还有数十丈的时候，她遁光一缓，居然停了下来。
But on the surface, he showed no signs of surprise. He reached out and grabbed the communication talisman.
suí hòu yù shǒu yī fú ， liǎng dào hóng guāng cóng tā de yī xiù zhōng fēi lüè ér chū ， zhí bēn liǎng rén fēi guò qù le 。
随后玉手一拂，两道红光从她的衣袖中飞掠而出，直奔两人飞过去了。
The Green Spirit Daoist did the same.
lín xuān yǎn lì hé děng lí pǔ ， lüè yī níng shén xià ， yǐ kàn qīng chǔ ， duì fāng suǒ jì chū de bìng bú shì shén me bǎo wù ， ér shì yī zhāng pǔ pǔ tōng tōng de chuán yīn fú 。
林轩眼力何等离谱，略一凝神下，已看清楚，对方所祭出的并不是什么宝物，而是一张普普通通的传音符。
Then, Lin Xuan lowered his head slightly and without hesitation, sank his divine sense into it.
zhè yí mù luò zài yǎn lǐ ， lín xuān méi tóu yī tiāo ， gèng shì yǐn yǐn jué de ， zhè huí yù jiàn de má fán ， kǒng pà hái yào shèng guò zì jǐ xiǎng xiàng xǔ duō 。
这一幕落在眼里，林轩眉头一挑，更是隐隐觉得，这回遇见的麻烦，恐怕还要胜过自己想象许多。
"Treasure Snake!"
dàn biǎo miàn shàng ， tā dāng rán fēn háo yì sè bù lù ， yī shēn shǒu ， biàn zhuō zhù le nà chuán yīn fú 。
但表面上，他当然分毫异色不露，一伸手，便捉住了那传音符。
After a moment, Lin Xuan raised his head again, his expression even more gloomy as if he was about to weep.
lìng yī biān ， nà qīng líng dào rén yě shì tóng yàng de dòng zuò 。
另一边，那青灵道人也是同样的动作。
Sure enough, what one fears most often comes true.
suí hòu lín xuān lüè wēi dī xià tou lú ， háo bù yóu yù de jiāng shén shí yī chén ér rù 。
随后林轩略微低下头颅，毫不犹豫的将神识一沉而入。
Lin Xuan had been determined to find the mastermind behind this and guessed that it might be the Ice Soul Treasure Snake. However, deep down, this was something he desperately wanted to avoid.
“ bǎo shé ！”
“宝蛇！”
Unlike when he first entered the劫stage, Lin Xuan now had a more accurate assessment of his strength, especially after witnessing the powers of those two old-timers, Tiānxuán and Dìjī. His confidence in defeating the True Demon Ancestor was even lower.
piàn kè hòu lín xuān tái shǒu ， biǎo qíng gèng yīn mái dé yǔ yào dī shuǐ chà bu duō 。
片刻后林轩抬首，表情更阴霾得与要滴水差不多。
Whether it was Ice Soul or Treasure Snake, their power would undoubtedly be much greater than that of the so-called Heavenly Twin Elders.
zhēn shì yuè pà shén me yuè róng yì yù jiàn shén me 。
真是越怕什么越容易遇见什么。
Before comprehending domains, facing them head-on would have been extremely difficult.
lín xuān yī xīn yào zhǎo chū mù hòu hēi shǒu ， bìng yǐn yǐn cāi dào kǒng pà jiù shì bīng pò bǎo shé ， dàn cóng nèi xīn shēn chù ， zhè què yòu shì tā jí bù yuàn yì miàn duì de 。
林轩一心要找出幕后黑手，并隐隐猜到恐怕就是冰魄宝蛇，但从内心深处，这却又是他极不愿意面对的。
But now that they were here, dwelling on their disappointment wouldn't help. Fortunately, only one Treasure Snake had come, and compared to Ice Soul, she was likely weaker. Otherwise, if both True Demon Ancestors appeared, he might be forced to end his life.
yǔ gāng jìn rù dù jié hòu qī bù tóng ， lín xuān cǐ kè ， duì yú zì jǐ de shí lì ， yǐ jīng yǒu le gèng zhǔn què de píng gū ， tè bié shì zài jiàn shí le tiān xuán dì jī nà liǎng gè lǎo jiā huǒ de shén tōng zhī hòu ， lín xuān duì yú zhàn shèng zhēn mó shǐ zǔ ， jiù gèng méi yǒu shén me xìn xīn le 。
与刚进入渡劫后期不同，林轩此刻，对于自己的实力，已经有了更准确的评估，特别是在见识了天璇地玑那两个老家伙的神通之后，林轩对于战胜真魔始祖，就更没有什么信心了。
On the other side, the Green Spirit Daoist raised his head, his face filled with a bitter smile.
bù lùn bīng pò hái shì bǎo shé ， shí lì kěn dìng dū yào bǐ nà shén me tiān dì èr lǎo lì hài xǔ duō 。
不论冰魄还是宝蛇，实力肯定都要比那什么天地二老厉害许多。
Clearly, he hadn't expected to encounter a True Demon Ancestor here either.
zài cān tòu lǐng yù yǐ qián ， xiǎng yào yǔ tā men zhèng miàn duì kàng shì hěn kùn nán de 。
在参透领域以前，想要与他们正面对抗是很困难的。
This woman, known for her cunning and viciousness, had originally planned to plot the Peach Immortal Fruit. Would the final result be like trying to steal chickens but losing one's own rice bowl?
dàn shì yǐ zhì cǐ ， yù mèn yě méi yǒu yòng tú ， hǎo zài lái de zhǐ yǒu bǎo shé yí gè ， ér yǔ bīng pò xiāng bǐ ， tā kěn dìng xiāng duì yòu yào ruò yī xiē ， fǒu zé ruò shì liǎng wèi zhēn mó shǐ zǔ qí zhì ， zì jǐ kǒng pà zhēn de zhǐ yǒu bèi bī dé mǒ bó zi 。
但事已至此，郁闷也没有用途，好在来的只有宝蛇一个，而与冰魄相比，她肯定相对又要弱一些，否则若是两位真魔始祖齐至，自己恐怕真的只有被逼得抹脖子。
"Friends, you must already understand the situation. I don’t need to elaborate on Treasure Snake’s character. Regardless of her purpose, since we’ve met here by chance, none of us can stay out of it. The only option is to put aside our grudges and join forces against her. This is our only chance."
lìng yī biān ， nà qīng líng dào rén tái qǐ tóu lú ， liǎn shàng yì mǎn shì kǔ xiào zhī sè 。
另一边，那青灵道人抬起头颅，脸上亦满是苦笑之色。
The alluring woman's voice echoed in his ears. He knew his situation well; running away could only delay the inevitable.
xiǎn rán ， tā yì zuò mèng dōu méi yǒu liào dào huì zài zhè lǐ yù jiàn zhēn mó shǐ zǔ 。
显然，他亦做梦都没有料到会在这里遇见真魔始祖。
Only by joining forces could they have a chance.
ér bǎo shé cǐ nǚ ， yòu shì yǐ yīn xiǎn dú là zhù chēng dì ， yuán běn shì xiǎng yào tú móu pán táo shèng guǒ ， nán dào zuì hòu de jié guǒ huì shì tōu jī bù chéng shí bǎ mǐ ？
而宝蛇此女，又是以阴险毒辣著称地，原本是想要图谋蟠桃圣果，难道最后的结果会是偷鸡不成蚀把米？
This was like diverting the floodwaters eastward.
“ èr wèi dào yǒu xiǎng bì yǐ qīng chǔ liǎo shì qíng de shǐ mò ， bǎo shé de xìng gé wǒ yě bù yòng duō shuō ， bù guǎn tā de mù dì shì shén me ， wǒ men sān rén ， jì rán yǔ tā xiá lù xiāng féng ， nà jiù shuí yě bié xiǎng zhì shēn shì wài le ， wèi jīn zhī jì ， zhǐ yǒu yí gè ， nà jiù shì fàng xià bǐ cǐ jiān de ēn yuàn ， lián shǒu yǔ tā yī bó ， wéi yǒu zhè yàng ， cái yǒu yī xiàn shēng jī de 。”
“二位道友想必已清楚了事情的始末，宝蛇的性格我也不用多说，不管她的目的是什么，我们三人，既然与她狭路相逢，那就谁也别想置身事外了，为今之计，只有一个，那就是放下彼此间的恩怨，联手与她一搏，唯有这样，才有一线生机的。”
Of course, you had your Zhāng Liáng strategy, and I had my wall ladder. Everyone’s plans were inherently different.
jiāo mèi nǚ zǐ de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， zì jǐ de qíng kuàng zì jǐ qīng chǔ ， táo dé le yī shí ， què táo bù liǎo yī shì ， suǒ yǐ tā dāng chū bìng bú shì huāng bù zé lù ， ér shì yǐ dǎ dìng zhù yì yǔ liǎng rén lián shǒu 。
娇媚女子的声音传入耳朵，自己的情况自己清楚，逃得了一时，却逃不了一世，所以她当初并不是慌不择路，而是已打定注意与两人联手。
While this woman wanted to drag him into the fray, she didn’t know that Treasure Snake's true goal was to deal with Lin Xuan.
wéi yǒu zhè yàng cái néng sǐ zhōng qiú huó ！
唯有这样才能死中求活！
Diverting the floodwaters?
zhè yě suàn shì huò shuǐ dōng yǐn zhī cè 。
这也算是祸水东引之策。
Hmph, a good idea, but in the end, she would be the one affected by it.
dāng rán ， nǐ yǒu nǐ de zhāng liáng jì ， wǒ yǒu wǒ de guò qiáng tī ， měi gè rén de dǎ suàn ， yuán běn jiù shì gè bù xiāng tóng dì 。
当然，你有你的张良计，我有我的过墙梯，每个人的打算，原本就是各不相同地。
"Friends, what do you think? We don't have much time. Treasure Snake is almost here; if you don’t make a decision soon, you might face annihilation."
cǐ nǚ shì xiǎng yào tuō lín xuān xià shuǐ méi cuò ， dàn tā yòu nǎ lǐ xiǎo de ， bǎo shé lái cǐ de mù dì ， yuán běn jiù shì wèi le duì fù lín xuān 。
此女是想要拖林轩下水没错，但她又哪里晓得，宝蛇来此的目的，原本就是为了对付林轩。
The alluring woman's face was filled with anxiety.
huò shuǐ dōng yǐn ？
祸水东引？
If they joined forces, perhaps they could still give it a try. However, if the other party refused to cooperate, they would be defeated one by one.
hēng hēng ， xiǎng fǎ bù cuò ， dàn guī gēn jié dǐ ， tā zì jǐ cái shì bèi yāng jí de chí yú 。
哼哼，想法不错，但归根结底，她自己才是被殃及的池鱼。
"Friend, what do you think?"
“ liǎng wèi dào yǒu yì xià rú hé ， shí jiān bù duō ， bǎo shé zhuǎn shùn jí zhì ， liǎng wèi ruò bù kuài diǎn jué zé ， xiǎo xīn yī huì er wàn jié bù fù 。”
“两位道友意下如何，时间不多，宝蛇转瞬及至，两位若不快点抉择，小心一会儿万劫不复。”
Lin Xuan looked at the Green Spirit Daoist.
jiāo mèi nǚ zǐ de liǎn shàng mǎn shì jiāo jí zhī sè 。
娇媚女子的脸上满是焦急之色。
Knowing that Treasure Snake’s true goal was him, having two others as backup was naturally preferable. But on the surface, he showed no signs of hesitation.
ruò shì sān rén hé lì ， yě xǔ miǎn qiǎng hái kě yǐ yī bó ， rán ér duì fāng ruò shì bù tóng yì lián shǒu ， zuì hòu de jié guǒ zhǐ huì bèi gè gè jī pò 。
若是三人合力，也许勉强还可以一搏，然而对方若是不同意联手，最后的结果只会被各个击破。
He believed that in such a situation, the other party had only one choice—there was no point in being too polite. The saying "to persuade someone is better than to urge them" roughly applied here.
“ dào yǒu yì xià rú hé ？”
“道友意下如何？”
"Alright, we'll join forces."
lín xuān xiàng nà qīng líng zhēn rén wàng guò qù le 。
林轩像那青灵真人望过去了。
As expected, after several changes in expression, the Green Spirit Daoist nodded in agreement.
míng zhī bǎo shé de zhēn zhèng mù dì shì zì jǐ ， yǒu liǎng gè rén yuàn yì zuò diàn bèi ， lín xuān dāng rán shì qiān kěn wàn kěn de ， dàn biǎo miàn shàng ， què fēn háo yì sè bù lù 。
明知宝蛇的真正目的是自己，有两个人愿意做垫背，林轩当然是千肯万肯的，但表面上，却分毫异色不露。
After all, Treasure Snake's reputation preceded her. Since they were unlucky enough to meet her, joining forces was their only option. Otherwise, being defeated one by one would be even worse.
tā xiāng xìn zhè zhǒng qíng kuàng xià ， duì fāng bú huì yǒu dì èr zhǒng xuǎn zé ， suǒ wèi qǐng jiàng bù rú jī jiàng ， dà yuē jiù shì zhè ge dào lǐ le 。
他相信这种情况下，对方不会有第二种选择，所谓请将不如激将，大约就是这个道理了。
Though reluctant, this was still the most practical choice.
“ hǎo ba ， wǒ men lián shǒu 。”
“好吧，我们联手。”
"Friend, what about you?"
guǒ rán bù chū suǒ liào ， nà qīng líng dào rén zài liǎn sè shù biàn yǐ hòu ， diǎn diǎn tóu ， biǎo shì tóng yì le 。
果然不出所料，那青灵道人在脸色数变以后，点点头，表示同意了。
The alluring woman approached again.
bì jìng bǎo shé è míng yuǎn bō ， jì rán dǎo méi de yù shàng le ， dāng rán zhǐ yǒu lián shǒu zì bǎo yī tú ， fǒu zé ， gè gè jī pò ， gèng méi yǒu huó luò 。
毕竟宝蛇恶名远播，既然倒霉的遇上了，当然只有联手自保一途，否则，各个击破，更没有活络。
"I have no problem; however..."
suī bù yuàn yì ， dàn xiāng duì ér shuō ， zhè shì zuì kào pǔ ér de xuǎn zé 。
虽不愿意，但相对而说，这是最靠谱儿的选择。
"Just how?"
“ dào yǒu nǐ ne ？”
“道友你呢？”
The alluring woman's face showed great urgency as time was running out.
nà jiāo mèi nǚ zǐ yòu wǎng guò lái le 。
那娇媚女子又往过来了。
"If I'm not mistaken, your injuries are severe. Can you really fight?" Lin Xuan said calmly.
“ lín mǒu zì rán méi yǒu wèn tí ， zhǐ shì ……”
“林某自然没有问题，只是……”
Although he wanted to take advantage of the situation, it wasn't wise for his backup to be too weak; otherwise, he might end up worse off.
“ zhǐ shì rú hé ？”
“只是如何？”
"You're worried about this, don’t worry. Indeed, I am severely injured, but at our level, we can still use some secret techniques to temporarily suppress my injuries."
jiāo mèi nǚ zǐ de liǎn shàng lù chū dà jí zhī sè ， bì jìng rú jīn liú gěi tā men de shí jiān yǐ shì bù duō 。
娇媚女子的脸上露出大急之色，毕竟如今留给他们的时间已是不多。
The woman's face showed a hint of pride, though it was clearly an act.
“ zhǐ shì lín mǒu ruò shì méi yǒu kàn cuò ， xiān zi yīng gāi yǐ jīng shēn shòu zhòng shāng le ， zhēn de hái yǒu néng lì yī zhàn me ？” lín xuān dàn dàn de kāi kǒu le 。
“只是林某若是没有看错，仙子应该已经身受重伤了，真的还有能力一战么？”林轩淡淡的开口了。
But Lin Xuan didn't care; even if her words were false, she wouldn't dare openly lie. She definitely had the strength to fight, which was enough for him.
suī rán xiǎng yào hún shuǐ mō yú ， dàn zuò wèi diàn bèi de cún zài yě bù yí tài ruò ， fǒu zé kě jiù huì nòng qiǎo chéng zhuō 。
虽然想要浑水摸鱼，但做为垫背的存在也不宜太弱，否则可就会弄巧成拙。
He wasn’t concerned about the cost or consequences of using this secret technique.
“ dào yǒu shì dān xīn zhè ge ， fàng xīn ， běn xiān zi què shí shēn shòu zhòng shāng méi cuò ， dàn shí lì dào le nǐ wǒ zhè yàng de děng jí ， yòu qǐ huì bú huì yī liǎng zhǒng mì shù ， zàn shí yā zhì shāng shì ， zì rán bú huì yǒu shén me wèn tí 。”
“道友是担心这个，放心，本仙子确实身受重伤没错，但实力到了你我这样的等级，又岂会不会一两种秘术，暂时压制伤势，自然不会有什么问题。”
After some thought, they reached a preliminary agreement and decided to join forces.
cǐ nǚ de liǎn shàng lù chū yī sī ào rán zhī yì 。
此女的脸上露出一丝傲然之意。
Of course, although they agreed publicly, privately, each would have their own plans. This wasn't unusual; turning enemies into friends was never easy. For now, it was just a forced alliance.
dāng rán ， zhè ge biǎo qíng shì zuò zuò ， zhēn shí qíng kuàng kěn dìng méi yǒu zhè me jiǎn dān 。
当然，这个表情是做作，真实情况肯定没有这么简单。
The entire process took only a few minutes. Suddenly, from the distant horizon, a black light appeared, like a drop of ink in clear water.
dàn lín xuān yì bù zài hū ， zhè fān huà jiù suàn yǒu jiǎ ， duì fāng yě jué bù gǎn gōng rán luàn shuō ， tā kěn dìng yǒu shí lì yī zhàn ， zhè duì zì jǐ lái shuō ， jiù yǐ jīng mǎn zú 。
但林轩亦不在乎，这番话就算有假，对方也绝不敢公然乱说，她肯定有实力一战，这对自己来说，就已经满足。
The sky instantly turned dark, and an oppressive feeling spread over them.
zhì yú tā shī zhǎn cǐ mì shù ， xū yào fù chū de dài jià rú hé ， yòu yǒu zěn yàng de hòu huàn ， zì rán jiù bù zài lín xuān kǎo lǜ de fàn chóu 。
至于她施展此秘术，需要付出的代价如何，又有怎样的后患，自然就不在林轩考虑的范畴。

A series of twists and turns!
Lin Xuan's heart was immediately filled with a bad omen.
Although this woman’s strength certainly couldn't match his, she had definitely passed the劫stage. Now, seeing her act so panicked, it was easy to imagine the dangers and difficulties she faced.
Lin Xuan's face darkened instantly. The expression on the Green Spirit Daoist's face mirrored his own. Having cultivated to become a domain powerhouse, their intelligence wasn't weak. After a moment of thought, they both understood the situation.
They exchanged glances and stopped their actions simultaneously. Self-destructive fighting in such an unclear situation was foolish. They would first observe before making any decisions.
