qī dài néng yǒu hǎo xiāo xī ！
期待能有好消息！
Looking forward to good news!
bù zhī bù jué ， yòu shì shù rì guò qù 。
不知不觉，又是数日过去。
Days passed by unnoticed.
zhè shì yí gè píng jìng de zǎo chén ， yáng guāng chuān guò yún céng ， jiāng wēn nuǎn sǎ xiàng dà dì ， wǔ yè de hán lěng zhèng jiàn jiàn tuì qù ， yòu shì xīn yī tiān de kāi shǐ 。
这是一个平静的早晨，阳光穿过云层，将温暖洒向大地，午夜的寒冷正渐渐退去，又是新一天的开始。
It was a tranquil morning. Sunlight filtered through the clouds, casting warmth onto the earth as the chill of midnight gradually dissipated, marking the start of another day.
shàng guān yàn yǎng wàng zhe dì mài gǔ 。
上官雁仰望着地脉谷。
Shangguan Yan looked up at Drifting Cloud Valley.
zhè me duō tiān guò qù ， yě bù zhī dào shī niáng zěn me yàng le 。
这么多天过去，也不知道师娘怎么样了。
So many days had passed; she wondered how her master's wife was doing.
tā xīn zhōng tǎn tè ， shēng pà tīng dào bù hǎo de jié guǒ 。
她心中忐忑，生怕听到不好的结果。
She felt uneasy, fearing the worst news.
bù …… bú huì de 。
不……不会的。
No... not that.
shī niáng xīn shàn ， shī zūn gèng shì běn lǐng tōng tiān ， yǒu tā zài ， yí dìng kě yǐ hù shī niáng zhōu quán 。
师娘心善，师尊更是本领通天，有他在，一定可以护师娘周全。
Her master's wife was kind-hearted. With Master present, she would surely protect her wife.
xiǎo yā tou nán nán zì yǔ ， rán ér què zěn me yě wú fǎ píng fù tǎn tè de qíng xù ， huáng rán jiān ， yǒu xì suì de jiǎo bù shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， huí guò tóu ， què shì mèi mèi yǔ gōng sūn yù ér lái dào le shēn cè 。
小丫头喃喃自语，然而却怎么也无法平复忐忑的情绪，惶然间，有细碎的脚步声传入耳朵，回过头，却是妹妹与公孙玉儿来到了身侧。
The young girl muttered to herself but couldn't calm her anxiety. Suddenly, faint footsteps reached her ears. Turning around, it was her sister and Gongsun Yuyer who had arrived beside her.
“ fàng xīn ， shī niáng yí dìng méi shì de 。”
“放心，师娘一定没事的。”
"Relax, your master's wife will be fine."
gōng sūn yù ér de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， huà yīn wèi luò ， qián fāng de dì mài gǔ ， tū rán yǒu yī zhèn qīng xiào de shēng yīn fā chū 。
公孙玉儿的声音传入耳朵，话音未落，前方的地脉谷，突然有一阵轻啸的声音发出。
Gongsun Yuyer's voice entered her ear as a sudden light flashed from the distance. A streak of lightning flew over.
suí hòu guāng huá dà zuò ， yī dào jīng hóng fēi guò lái le 。
随后光华大做，一道惊虹飞过来了。
"It's Master!"
“ shì shī fù ！”
“是师傅！”
Ling'er, with keen eyesight, saw clearly and her pretty face lit up with excitement.
líng ér yǎn jiān ， kàn le gè qīng chǔ ， qiào lì de miàn róng shàng lù chū què yuè zhī sè 。
翎儿眼尖，看了个清楚，俏丽的面容上露出雀跃之色。
The two girls turned their heads to see Lin Xuan and Ouyang Qinxin standing before them.
liǎng gè yā tou tīng le ， yě máng jiāng zhēn shǒu huí guò ， què jué yǎn qián yī huā ， lín xuān yǔ ōu yáng qín xīn ， yǐ jīng lái dào yǎn qián le 。
两个丫头听了，也忙将臻首回过，却觉眼前一花，林轩与欧阳琴心，已经来到眼前了。
"Master!"
“ shī fù ！”
“师傅！”
Though delighted, they didn't forget their manners. They curtsied gracefully, their faces showing genuine smiles.
sān gè yā tou suī rán xīn xǐ ， què yě méi yǒu wàng le lǐ shù ， yíng yíng yī fú ， liǎn shàng dōu yǒu zhēn chéng de xiào róng liú lù 。
三个丫头虽然欣喜，却也没有忘了礼数，盈盈一福，脸上都有真诚的笑容流露。
Lin Xuan felt a warmth in his heart. Such familial care always made him feel comfortable.
lín xuān xīn zhōng yī nuǎn ， zhè zhǒng qīn rén jiān de guān huái zǒng shì lìng rén hún shēn shū fú 。
林轩心中一暖，这种亲人间的关怀总是令人浑身舒服。
"There's no need for such formalities; rise."
“ bù bì duō lǐ ， dōu qǐ lái 。”
“不必多礼，都起来。”
"Yes, thank you, Master."
“ shì ， xiè xiè shī fù 。”
“是，谢谢师傅。”
The girls stood up and gathered around Ouyang Qinxin: "How do you feel, master's wife?"
jǐ gè yā tou qǐ shēn ， dōu wéi dào ōu yáng qín xīn shēn páng qù le ：“ shī niáng ， nín gǎn jué rú hé ？”
几个丫头起身，都围到欧阳琴心身旁去了：“师娘，您感觉如何？”
"Phew! That scene earlier truly scared me to death. Thank goodness you're safe."
“ hū ， xiān qián nà yí mù ， kě zhēn zhèng xià sǐ wǒ ， hái hǎo shī niáng nín píng ān wú shì le 。”
“呼，先前那一幕，可真正吓死我，还好师娘您平安无事了。”
"I told you so. Good people have good fortune. The heavens will surely protect you."
“ wǒ jiù shuō ma ， jí rén zì yǒu tiān xiàng ， shī niáng nín rén zhè me hǎo 。 lǎo tiān yé yě huì bǎo yòu nín de 。”
“我就说嘛，吉人自有天相，师娘您人这么好。老天爷也会保佑您的。”
"Now that the hard times are over, congratulations on your successful晋级. You and Master can now be together, a couple everyone envies."
“ rú jīn kǔ jìn gān lái ， gōng xǐ shī niáng chéng gōng jìn jí ， cóng cǐ yǔ shī fù shuāng sù shuāng qī ， zuò yī duì lìng rén xiàn mù de shén xiān juàn lǚ 。”
“如今苦尽甘来，恭喜师娘成功晋级，从此与师傅双宿双栖，做一对令人羡慕的神仙眷侣。”
...
……
……
The girls' babbling voices filled her ears, more familiar and affectionate than she had imagined. Lin Xuan was surprised but couldn't help smiling.
jǐ gè yā tou qī zuǐ bā shé de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， yǔ ōu yáng qín xīn jìng bǐ zì jǐ xiǎng xiàng de hái yào shú xī qīn rè ， lín xuān jīng yà zhī yú ， zuǐ jiǎo biān yě liú lù chū yī sī xiào yì 。
几个丫头七嘴八舌的声音传入耳朵，与欧阳琴心竟比自己想象的还要熟悉亲热，林轩惊讶之余，嘴角边也流露出一丝笑意。
His disciples and beloved wife getting along well—this pleased him greatly. As they chattered away, it almost felt like mother and daughter.
tú ér yǔ ài qī guān xì hé mù ， zhè zì rán shì zì jǐ lè yú jiàn dào de ， tā men jī jī zhā zhā liáo gè bù tíng ， kàn shàng qù dào yǒu jǐ fēn xiàng shì mǔ nǚ 。
徒儿与爱妻关系和睦，这自然是自己乐于见到的，她们叽叽喳喳聊个不停，看上去倒有几分像是母女。
It's said that a teacher is forever a father to their students. Ouyang Qinxin, as the master's wife, often taught and helped them, which was why she was so loved by her disciples.
sú huà shuō yī rì wèi shī zhōng shēng wèi fù 。 ōu yáng qín xīn zuò wéi shī mǔ ， píng rì lǐ duì tā men yě duō yǒu jiào dǎo bāng zhù ， yě nán guài jǐ gè yā tou huì duì tā rú cǐ qīn nì ài dài le 。
俗话说一日为师终生为父。欧阳琴心作为师母，平日里对她们也多有教导帮助，也难怪几个丫头会对她如此亲昵爱戴了。
Four women together naturally made for more chatter than expected. Once they opened up, they couldn't stop talking.
sú huà shuō sān gè nǚ rén yī tái xì ， nà me sì gè nǚ rén còu zài yì qǐ ， zì rán bǐ xiǎng xiàng de hái yào luō suo yī xiē ， yī dǎ kāi huà xiá zi ， jiù jī jī zhā zhā de liáo le xià qù 。
俗话说三个女人一台戏，那么四个女人凑在一起，自然比想象的还要啰嗦一些，一打开话匣子，就叽叽喳喳的聊了下去。
Fortunately, Lin Xuan, being a cultivator, had far superior cultivation skills compared to ordinary people. He didn't show any signs of impatience on his face.
hǎo zài lín xuān shēn wèi xiū xiān zhě ， yǎng qì gōng fu yě yuǎn fēi fán rén kě jí ， liǎn shàng bìng méi yǒu lù chū shén me bù nài fán zhī yì 。
好在林轩身为修仙者，养气功夫也远非凡人可及，脸上并没有露出什么不耐烦之意。
So, without further ado, the girls finally noticed that Master was left out.
jiù zhè yàng 。 bù zhī bù jué ， yǐ dào le rì shàng sān gān de shí kè ， jǐ gè yā tou cái zhōng yú fā xiàn jiāng shī zūn liàng dào yī páng le 。
就这样。不知不觉，已到了日上三竿的时刻，几个丫头才终于发现将师尊晾到一旁了。
They pouted and felt guilty.
tǔ le tǔ shé tou ， dōu yǒu xiē kuì jiù 。
吐了吐舌头，都有些愧疚。
Thankfully, their inquiries yielded good results. The master's wife was indeed safe.
hǎo zài gāng cái de xún wèn yě shì dà yǒu shōu huò 。 shī niáng guǒ rán píng ān wú shì le 。
好在刚才的询问也是大有收获。师娘果然平安无事了。

As it turned out, Master had performed miracles. According to her master's wife, she barely managed to survive the heavenly tribulation but was close to death.
shuō qǐ lái ， dōu shì shī zūn shǒu duàn tōng shén ， jù shī niáng shuō ， tā suī rán miǎn qiǎng jiāng tiān jié dù guò ， dàn chà bu duō ， yě shì zhòng shāng chuí sǐ 。
说起来，都是师尊手段通神，据师娘说，她虽然勉强将天劫度过，但差不多，也是重伤垂死。
Without help, she would have perished. Even with assistance, it was almost impossible to save her.
ruò shì wú rén xiāng zhù ， zhǐ yǒu shuāi ruò yǔn luò yī tú 。
若是无人相助，只有衰弱陨落一途。
But Master truly surpassed all others, showing a miraculous recovery that brought her back from the brink of death in just half a month.
jiù suàn yǒu rén bāng máng ， shí yǒu ** yě shì huí tiān fá shù 。
就算有人帮忙，十有**也是回天乏术。
Ouyang Qinxin couldn't believe how miraculous his skills were unless she had witnessed them firsthand.
kě shī zūn zhēn de fēi cháng rén kě bǐ ， yìng shì zhǎn xiàn chū le miào shǒu huí chūn de qí jì ， jiāng tā cóng sǐ wáng de biān yuán lā le guò qù 。
可师尊真的非常人可比，硬是展现出了妙手回春的奇迹，将她从死亡的边缘拉了过去。
It was truly awe-inspiring!
ér qiě duǎn duǎn bàn yuè de gōng fu ， biàn jiāng tā de zhòng shāng yǐn huàn yī yī xiāo nì 。
而且短短半月的功夫，便将她的重伤隐患一一消匿。
Calling it a miracle wasn't an exaggeration at all.
ruò fēi qīn yǎn mù dǔ ， qīn shēn gǎn chù ， qín xīn dōu bù xiāng xìn zhàng fū de shǒu duàn jìng rú cǐ xuán miào de 。
若非亲眼目睹，亲身感触，琴心都不相信丈夫的手段竟如此玄妙的。
With this understanding, the girls looked up to Lin Xuan even more. Their eyes showed admiration.
lìng rén zhé fú ！
令人折服！
"Master is remarkable; he can do anything."
chēng zhī wèi qí jì yě méi yǒu rèn hé kuā zhāng zhī chù 。
称之为奇迹也没有任何夸张之处。
"Hmm, with Master here, we'll surely defeat the域外天魔 and make Cloud Concealment Sect shine brightly."
liǎo jiě le qián yīn hòu guǒ ， sān gè yā tou duì lín xuān zì rán gèng jiā pèi fú 。
了解了前因后果，三个丫头对林轩自然更加佩服。
Hearing his disciples' compliments, Lin Xuan couldn't help blushing. While his strength was outstanding, he didn't dare claim invincibility in the Three Realms; their words were too exaggerated.
mù guāng zhōng dū yǒu chóng bài de qíng xù liú lù 。
目光中都有崇拜的情绪流露。
But with ongoing battles between the Three Realms and the域外天魔's arrogance, everyone needed to rally. Seeing the high spirits of Cloud Concealment Sect disciples, Lin Xuan couldn't be humble now.
“ shī zūn hǎo liǎo bù qǐ ， guǒ rán shì wú suǒ bù néng dì 。”
“师尊好了不起，果然是无所不能地。”
So, he remained ambiguous and didn't defend himself further.
“ ń ， yǒu shī zūn zài ， yí dìng néng gòu dǎ bài yù wài tiān mó ， wǒ yún yǐn zōng zhù dìng yào dà fàng yì cǎi 。”
“嗯，有师尊在，一定能够打败域外天魔，我云隐宗注定要大放异彩。”
"Enough flattery; we'll head back to the main sect."
tīng zhe jǐ gè tú ér de gōng wéi ， lín xuān yě bù yóu lǎo liǎn yī hóng ， zì jǐ de shí lì shì hěn chū zhòng ， dàn yě jué bù gǎn shuō sān jiè wú dí ， jǐ gè yā tou de shuō fǎ shí zài shì tài kuā zhāng le yī xiē 。
听着几个徒儿的恭维，林轩也不由老脸一红，自己的实力是很出众，但也绝不敢说三界无敌，几个丫头的说法实在是太夸张了一些。
The disciples had no objections as Lin Xuan waved his sleeves, a burst of light appearing. A large flying vessel materialized before them.
bù guò rú jīn sān jiè lián mián zhàn huǒ ， yù wài tiān mó xiāo zhāng bá hù ， zhèng xū yào dà jiā zhèn zuò qǐ lái ， yǎn jiàn sì zhōu de yún yǐn zōng dì zǐ yě dōu shì qì gāo áng ， zhè zì qiān de huà ， lín xuān yě jiù shuō bù chū lái 。
不过如今三界连绵战火，域外天魔嚣张跋扈，正需要大家振作起来，眼见四周的云隐宗弟子也都士气高昂，这自谦的话，林轩也就说不出来。
Over a hundred feet long, it was a massive flight device suitable for multiple cultivators traveling together.
yú shì mó léng liǎng kě ， lín xuān yě jiù bù zuò biàn jiě le 。
于是模棱两可，林轩也就不做辩解了。
Cloud Concealment Sect disciples boarded the ship in an orderly manner. Then, Lin Xuan waved his sleeves again, sending a spell from his fingertips. The spirit boat was enveloped by a bright glow and sped off towards Cloud Concealment Sect.
“ hǎo le ， pāi mǎ pì de huà bú yào duō shuō ， wǒ men zhè jiù huí yún yǐn zōng zǒng duò 。”
“好了，拍马屁的话不要多说，我们这就回云隐宗总舵。”
...
zhòng dì zǐ zì rán sī háo yì yì yě wú ， lín xuān xiù páo yī shuǎi ， líng guāng zhà xiàn ， yī sōu jù dà de fēi zhōu yìng rù yǎn lián 。
众弟子自然丝毫异议也无，林轩袖袍一甩，灵光乍现，一艘巨大的飞舟映入眼帘。
Several hours later, the undulating mountain range came into view.
zhǎng bǎi zhàng yǒu yú ， nǎi shì yī jù dà de fēi xíng fǎ qì ， shì hé zhòng duō rén shù de xiū shì yì qǐ gǎn lù 。
长百丈有余，乃是一巨大的飞行法器，适合众多人数的修士一起赶路。
Leaving here several days ago, Lin Xuan had been worried. Now that his beloved wife had successfully overcome her crisis, he couldn't help smiling.
yún yǐn zōng dì zǐ yú guàn tà shàng le fēi chuán ， suí hòu lín xuān xiù páo yī bǎi ， yī dào fǎ jué jī shè chū zhǐ jiān ， líng zhōu bèi yào mù de guāng yùn bāo guǒ ， fēng chí diàn chè ， xiàng yún yǐn zōng fēi qù le 。
云隐宗弟子鱼贯踏上了飞船，随后林轩袖袍一摆，一道法诀激射出指尖，灵舟被耀目的光晕包裹，风驰电掣，像云隐宗飞去了。
"Qinxin, look. This protective array can be extended further to leave some space for traps and prohibitions. Combined with the main array, our sect's main base will be impregnable."
……
……
Holding Ouyang Qinxin's hand, Lin Xuan chatted casually as they stood at the bow.
shù gè shí chén hòu ， mián yán qǐ fú de shān mài yǐ yìng rù yǎn lián 。
数个时辰后，绵延起伏的山脉已映入眼帘。
Suddenly, sharp whistles pierced the air. Several streaks of colorful light shot out from Cloud Concealment Sect, ignoring the large flying vessel and passing by them.
shù rì qián lí kāi zhè lǐ ， lín xuān xīn zhōng yōu jí ， rú jīn ài qī chéng gōng dù guò wēi jī ， lín xuān píng ān huān xǐ ， zuǐ jiǎo biān yě jiù bù yóu de lù chū le jǐ fēn xiào yì 。
数日前离开这里，林轩心中忧急，如今爱妻成功度过危机，林轩平安欢喜，嘴角边也就不由得露出了几分笑意。
Lin Xuan raised an eyebrow in surprise.
“ qín xīn nǐ kàn ， zhè hù pài dà zhèn qí shí kě yǐ cháo zhe zhe ràng wài miàn zài yán shēn yì diǎn ， kòng chū lái de dì fāng kě yǐ bù zhì yī xiē xiàn jǐng jìn zhì ， yǔ dà zhèn pèi hé ， rú cǐ yī lái ， wǒ yún yǐn zōng zǒng duò ， jiù gù ruò jīn tāng le 。”
“琴心你看，这护派大阵其实可以朝着着让外面再延伸一点，空出来的地方可以布置一些陷阱禁制，与大阵配合，如此一来，我云隐宗总舵，就固若金汤了。”
This was strange.
xié zhe qín xīn de shǒu zhàn zài chuán tóu ， lín xuān yǒu yī dā méi yī dā de yǔ tā liáo tiān 。
携着琴心的手站在船头，林轩有一搭没一搭的与她聊天。
If it were their own disciples, they wouldn't dare ignore his flying boat so boldly.
rán ér jiù zài zhè shí ， jiān xiào shēng zhòu qǐ ， jǐ dào wǔ yán liù sè de dùn guāng yào mù yǐ jí ， cóng yún yǐn zōng fēi le chū lái ， jiàn dào nà jù dà de fēi zhōu ， què sī háo méi yǒu tíng xiē de yì tú ， yǔ lín xuān děng rén cā jiān ér guò 。
然而就在这时，尖啸声骤起，几道五颜六色的遁光耀目以极，从云隐宗飞了出来，见到那巨大的飞舟，却丝毫没有停歇的意图，与林轩等人擦肩而过。
And if it were outsiders, why would they be so arrogant within the sect? Why weren't his senior brothers or sisters stopping them?
lín xuān bù yóu de méi tóu wēi tiāo 。
林轩不由得眉头微挑。
Surprised and puzzled, Lin Xuan released his divine sense to scan the streaks of light.
zhè kě yǒu xiē gǔ guài 。
这可有些古怪。
On the left was a burly man in Daoist robes. On the right stood an elegant woman with a red new dress, exuding a faint aura of enchantment.
ruò shì běn zōng de dì zǐ ， jué bú huì rú cǐ dà dǎn ， duì zì jǐ de fēi zhōu shì ér bù jiàn 。
若是本宗的弟子，绝不会如此大胆，对自己的飞舟视而不见。
These two were the most powerful.
ruò shì wài lái de xiū xiān zhě ， yòu píng shén me gǎn zài yún yǐn zōng nèi rú cǐ bá hù ， shī xiōng shī jiě jìng rán bù guǎn ？
若是外来的修仙者，又凭什么敢在云隐宗内如此跋扈，师兄师姐竟然不管？
Both were at the peak of the Spirit Transformation stage, just one step away from tribulation.
jīng qí ， chà yì ！
惊奇，诧异！
The others, though also Spirit Transformation experts, were clearly weaker than these two.
lín xuān jiāng shén shí yī fàng ér chū ， zài nà jǐ dào dùn guāng shàng miàn sǎo guò 。
林轩将神识一放而出，在那几道遁光上面扫过。
Despite their different attire, they all had ancient seal characters embroidered on their collars and sleeves.
zuǒ biān shì yī xiàng mào cū háo de dà hàn ， zuò dào zhuāng dǎ bàn 。
左边是一相貌粗豪的大汉，做道装打扮。
"Ten Thousand Clear Immortal Palace!"
yòu biān zé shì yī shēn cái gāo tiǎo de nǚ zǐ ， róng yán xiù lì ， chuān zhe yī jiàn dà hóng xīn yī ， hún shēn shàng xià ， què sàn fà chū ruò yǒu ruò wú de yāo qì 。
右边则是一身材高挑的女子，容颜秀丽，穿着一件大红新衣，浑身上下，却散发出若有若无的妖气。
These were cultivators from that sect.
zhè liǎng rén xiū wèi shì zuì gāo dì 。
这两人修为是最高地。
Lin Xuan frowned. Why had they come here?
dōu shì fēn shén qī dǐng fēng ， jù lí dù jié ， zhǐ yǒu yī bù zhī yáo ér yǐ 。
都是分神期顶峰，距离渡劫，只有一步之遥而已。
He was puzzled but didn't show it, as he was close to the main sect's base. He didn't want any unnecessary trouble.
zhì yú qí yú jǐ gè ， suī yě shì fēn shén qī gāo shǒu ， dàn jìng jiè shí lì ， míng xiǎn dōu bǐ tā men èr rén dī shàng yī chóu 。
至于其余几个，虽也是分神期高手，但境界实力，明显都比他们二人低上一筹。
With questions, he would ask his senior brothers and sisters upon returning. (To be continued...)
Looking forward to good news!
Days passed by unnoticed.
It was a tranquil morning. Sunlight filtered through the clouds, casting warmth onto the earth as the chill of midnight gradually dissipated, marking the start of another day.
Shangguan Yan looked up at Drifting Cloud Valley.
So many days had passed; she wondered how her master's wife was doing.
She felt uneasy, fearing the worst news.
No... not that.
Her master's wife was kind-hearted. With Master present, she would surely protect her wife.
The young girl muttered to herself but couldn't calm her anxiety. Suddenly, faint footsteps reached her ears. Turning around, it was her sister and Gongsun Yuyer who had arrived beside her.
"Relax, your master's wife will be fine."
Gongsun Yuyer's voice entered her ear as a sudden light flashed from the distance. A streak of lightning flew over.
"It's Master!"
Ling'er, with keen eyesight, saw clearly and her pretty face lit up with excitement.
The two girls turned their heads to see Lin Xuan and Ouyang Qinxin standing before them.
"Master!"
Though delighted, they didn't forget their manners. They curtsied gracefully, their faces showing genuine smiles.
Lin Xuan felt a warmth in his heart. Such familial care always made him feel comfortable.
"There's no need for such formalities; rise."
"Yes, thank you, Master."
The girls stood up and gathered around Ouyang Qinxin: "How do you feel, master's wife?"
"Phew! That scene earlier truly scared me to death. Thank goodness you're safe."
"I told you so. Good people have good fortune. The heavens will surely protect you."
"Now that the hard times are over, congratulations on your successful晋级. You and Master can now be together, a couple everyone envies."

"Qinxin, look. This protective array can be extended further to leave some space for traps and prohibitions. Combined with the main array, our sect's main base will be impregnable."
Holding Ouyang Qinxin's hand, Lin Xuan chatted casually as they stood at the bow.
Suddenly, sharp whistles pierced the air. Several streaks of colorful light shot out from Cloud Concealment Sect, ignoring the large flying vessel and passing by them.
Lin Xuan raised an eyebrow in surprise.
This was strange.
If it were their own disciples, they wouldn't dare ignore his flying boat so boldly.
And if it were outsiders, why would they be so arrogant within the sect? Why weren't his senior brothers or sisters stopping them?
Surprised and puzzled, Lin Xuan released his divine sense to scan the streaks of light.
On the left was a burly man in Daoist robes. On the right stood an elegant woman with a red new dress, exuding a faint aura of enchantment.
These two were the most powerful.
Both were at the peak of the Spirit Transformation stage, just one step away from tribulation.
The others, though also Spirit Transformation experts, were clearly weaker than these two.
Despite their different attire, they all had ancient seal characters embroidered on their collars and sleeves.
"Ten Thousand Clear Immortal Palace!"
These were cultivators from that sect.
Lin Xuan frowned. Why had they come here?
He was puzzled but didn't show it, as he was close to the main sect's base. He didn't want any unnecessary trouble.
With questions, he would ask his senior brothers and sisters upon returning. (To be continued...)
