That deafening roar was like a thunderbolt in the clear sky, causing Nan Gong Xiu's face to twitch slightly. If not for her relatively stable mind and spirit, she would have been shaken into madness by the shockwave.
zhè shì zěn me le ？
这是怎么了？
What is happening?
shào nǚ zhēng kāi yǎn móu ， qiào liǎn shàng chōng mǎn le jīng è yǔ hào qí zhī sè 。
少女睁开眼眸，俏脸上充满了惊愕与好奇之色。
The young woman opened her eyes, her pretty face filled with surprise and curiosity.
rú cǐ dà de jù xiǎng ， tā zài yún yǐn shān shēn chù ， yě méi néng miǎn sú ， bèi bō jí dào le ， nán dào shì yǒu wài dí rù qīn me ？
如此大的巨响，她在云隐山深处，也没能免俗，被波及到了，难道是有外敌入侵么？
Such a loud roar; even in the depths of Cloud Concealment Mountain, she couldn't escape its impact. Could there be an external enemy invading?
dàn bù kě néng a ， rú jīn de yún yǐn zōng ， shēng míng yuǎn bō ， dà zhǎng lǎo lín xuān gāng gāng dāng shàng le xiān dào méng zhī zhǔ ， fēng tou yī shí wú liǎng 。
但不可能啊，如今的云隐宗，声名远播，大长老林轩刚刚当上了仙道盟之主，风头一时无两。
But that's impossible. The Cloud Concealment Sect has gained widespread fame, and Elder Lin Xuan just became the head of the Immortal Dao Alliance, his reputation soaring to new heights.
shuí zhè shí hòu lái luō hǔ xū ， nà zhēn shì lǎo shòu xīng shàng diào yú chǔn yǐ jí 。
谁这时候来捋虎须，那真是老寿星上吊愚蠢以极。
Who would dare provoke a tiger now? That would be as foolish as an old man hanging himself.
àn zhào cháng lǐ ， shì bú huì yǒu zhè yàng de bèn dàn dì 。
按照常理，是不会有这样的笨蛋地。
Following common sense, there shouldn't be such fools.
dàn xiū xiān jiè guāng guài lù lí ， rú jīn yòu shì fēi cháng shí qī ， chū xiàn shén me jīng rén de biàn gù ， sì hū yě bù zú wéi qí 。
但修仙界光怪陆离，如今又是非常时期，出现什么惊人的变故，似乎也不足为奇。
But the cultivation world is full of surprises, and with the current extraordinary period, any shocking changes are not unexpected.
niàn jí zhì cǐ ， shào nǚ de biǎo qíng biàn huàn bù yǐ ， jì rán méi yǒu tóu xù ， tā yě jiù bù jì xù shēn xiǎng xià qù ， duò le duò yù zú ， hún shēn líng máng shǎn shuò ， yǐ huà wèi jīng hóng ， pò kōng fēi chū le dòng fǔ 。
念及至此，少女的表情变幻不已，既然没有头绪，她也就不继续深想下去，跺了跺玉足，浑身灵芒闪烁，已化为惊虹，破空飞出了洞府。
With these thoughts in mind, her expression changed rapidly. Since she had no leads, she decided to stop overthinking it. She stomped her jade foot, and auras of spirit energy flickered around her as she transformed into a dazzling streak of light, breaking through the air and flying out of her cave.
shòu yǐng xiǎng de xiǎn rán bù zhǐ tā yí gè ， cǐ shí yún yǐn zōng zǒng duò ， tiān kōng shàng mì mì má má de piāo fú zhāo shù yǐ wàn jì de xiū xiān zhě 。
受影响的显然不止她一个，此时云隐宗总舵，天空上密密麻麻的漂浮着数以万计的修仙者。
Clearly, this wasn't just an isolated incident; Cloud Concealment Sect's main hall was now filled with thousands of cultivators floating in the sky. Everyone wore expressions of shock and unease.
rén rén liǎn shàng jiē shì jīng qí yǔ bù ān zhī sè 。
人人脸上皆是惊奇与不安之色。
The sudden change had caught them off guard. The cultivators who were meditating in their caves didn't know what had happened, and they chattered noisily among themselves.
biàn gù lái de tài tū rán le 。
变故来得太突然了。
But at this moment, several streaks of light emerged from afar, flying towards here. Leading the way was a young woman with silver hair, tall and beautiful. Although the other cultivators wore different attire, none were below the Spirit Cultivation Stage.
zhè xiē zài dòng fǔ zhōng bì guān de xiū xiān zhě ， dōu bù zhī dào fā shēng le shén me ， jiāo tóu jiē ěr zhī xià ， xiǎn de chǎo nào ér fán zá 。
这些在洞府中闭关的修仙者，都不知道发生了什么，交头接耳之下，显得吵闹而繁杂。
"Salutations to the Supreme Elder!"
rán ér jiù zài zhè shí ， yuǎn chù jīng hóng dà qǐ ， jìng shì shù dào yán sè gè yì de dùn guāng fēi xiàng le zhè lǐ 。
然而就在这时，远处惊虹大起，竟是数道颜色各异的遁光飞向了这里。
"Salutations to all our ancestors!"
wéi shǒu de jū rán shì mǎn tóu yín fā de shào nǚ ， shēn cái gāo tiǎo ， róng yán xiù lì ， qí yú xiū shì suī fú shì gè yì ， dàn yě méi yǒu yī bú shì fēn shén qī 。
为首的居然是满头银发的少女，身材高挑，容颜秀丽，其余修士虽服饰各异，但也没有一不是分神期。
The cultivators who had been whispering earlier suddenly turned pale in shock and began paying their respects mid-air.
“ cān jiàn tài shàng zhǎng lǎo ！”
“参见太上长老！”
Their faces now showed a mix of surprise and uncertainty. The Supreme Elder and the various ancestors rushed over, and considering the recent loud noise, could it be that Cloud Concealment Sect truly faced a formidable enemy? Who dared to provoke a tiger?
“ cān jiàn gè wèi shī zǔ ！”
“参见各位师祖！”
In contrast, the silver-eyed woman's face was extremely gloomy. She had just received a message indicating that numerous域外天魔 had appeared near the main hall, with many disciples already falling in battle. These creatures were now attacking the sect’s protective array.
gāng cái hái jiāo tóu jiē ěr de xiū shì men ， wú bù dà jīng shī sè ， fēn fēn zài bàn kōng zhōng cān bài qǐ lái le 。
刚才还交头接耳的修士们，无不大惊失色，纷纷在半空中参拜起来了。
Damn it! Cloud Concealment Sect covered an area of millions of miles; all the demon strongholds should have been eradicated long ago. Where did these foreign demons come from?
tóng shí ， měi yí gè rén de liǎn shàng ， yě dōu lù chū le jīng yí bù dìng zhī sè 。
同时，每一个人的脸上，也都露出了惊疑不定之色。
The silver-eyed woman was both shocked and angry, with a bad feeling in her gut. As they say, good people don’t come when needed, but those who do are never good. With Lin Xuan away, Cloud Concealment Sect’s defenses were at their weakest. The attackers chose this moment to strike the main hall; it couldn't just be a minor skirmish.
tài shàng zhǎng lǎo yǔ gè wèi shī zǔ xíng sè cōng cōng ， zài lián xiǎng gāng cái de jù xiǎng 。 nán dào shuō ， yún yǐn zōng zhēn yù jiàn le qiáng dí ， jiū jìng shì shuí ， lái luō hǔ xū ？
太上长老与各位师祖行色匆匆，再联想刚才的巨响。难道说，云隐宗真遇见了强敌，究竟是谁，来捋虎须？
Her thoughts raced as her face darkened further.
yǔ zhòng dì zǐ de jīng yí bù dìng xiāng bǐ ， yín tóng shào nǚ de liǎn sè ， zé shì yīn chén yǐ jí 。
与众弟子的惊疑不定相比，银瞳少女的脸色，则是阴沉以极。
Meanwhile, several streaks of light appeared on the horizon, moving extremely fast. After a few breaths, the figures within the light became clearer.
gāng gāng jiē dào chuán yīn fú ， zǒng duò fù jìn ， chū xiàn le dà liàng de yù wài tiān mó ， yǐ jīng yǒu bù shǎo xún luó de dì zǐ yǔn luò ， zhè xiē jiā huo 。 kāi shǐ gōng dǎ hù pài dà zhèn le 。
刚刚接到传音符，总舵附近，出现了大量的域外天魔，已经有不少巡逻的弟子陨落，这些家伙。开始攻打护派大阵了。
Recognizing their faces, the silver-eyed woman exclaimed with joy: "Sister, you came just in time! I was planning to send someone for you."
kě wù ， yún yǐn zōng fāng yuán bǎi wàn lǐ ， suǒ yǒu de mó zú jù diǎn ， bú shì zǎo yǐ bèi yí píng ， zhè xiē tiān wài mó tóu ， jiū jìng cóng nǎ lǐ mào chū lái de ？
可恶，云隐宗方圆百万里，所有的魔族据点，不是早已被夷平，这些天外魔头，究竟从哪里冒出来的？
"Why should I be polite? The Cloud Concealment Sect is facing external enemies; how could I possibly stay out of it?"
yín tóng shào nǚ yòu jīng yòu nù ， tóng shí yǒu bù hǎo de yù gǎn ， sú huà shuō shàn zhě bù lái lái zhě bù shàn ， rú jīn lín shī dì suī wēi fēng bā miàn 。 dàn bù zài mén lǐ ， zhèng shì yún yǐn zōng fáng yù zuì wèi xū ruò zhī shí ， duì fāng tiāo zhè shí hòu lái xí zǒng duò ， jué bú huì zhǐ shì xiǎo dǎ xiǎo nào bà le 。
银瞳少女又惊又怒，同时有不好的预感，俗话说善者不来来者不善，如今林师弟虽威风八面。但不在门里，正是云隐宗防御最为虚弱之时，对方挑这时候来袭总舵，绝不会只是小打小闹罢了。
The speaker had a melodious voice and beautiful features. She was Lin Xuan’s wife, Ouyang Qinxin.
nǎo hǎi zhōng niàn tou yī shǎn 。 yín tóng shào nǚ de liǎn sè yuè fā yīn mái 。
脑海中念头一闪。银瞳少女的脸色越发阴霾。
With her husband's help, she had just successfully advanced to the Tribulation Transcendence Stage but still needed to stabilize her realm. Therefore, she stayed at the main hall along with the news.
ér jiù zài zhè shí ， jǐ dào dùn guāng chū xiàn zài tiān biān ， sù dù què shì jí kuài ， jǐ xī zhī hòu 。 bāo guǒ zài dùn guāng zhōng de rén yǐng jiù biàn dé qīng xī qǐ lái 。
而就在这时，几道遁光出现在天边，速度却是极快，几息之后。包裹在遁光中的人影就变得清晰起来。
"Salutations to Senior!"
kàn qīng chǔ lái zhě de róng mào wǔ guān ， yín tóng shào nǚ dà xǐ ：“ dì mèi lái de zhēn shì jí shí ， wǒ hái dǎ suàn ràng rén qù jiào nǐ 。”
看清楚来者的容貌五官，银瞳少女大喜：“弟妹来得真是及时，我还打算让人去叫你。”
Behind Ouyang Qinxin were several young women: Gong Yu'er, Shangguan Ling, Shangguan Yan, and Ye Ru. Since they had all taken Lin Xuan as their teacher, in both reason and emotion, they naturally looked up to their matriarch.
“ shī jiě hé bì kè qì 。 yún yǐn zōng yù jiàn wài dí ， xiǎo mèi yòu zěn me kě néng zhì shēn shì wài dì 。”
“师姐何必客气。云隐宗遇见外敌，小妹又怎么可能置身事外地。”
"None of this is necessary."
shuō huà de nǚ zǐ shēng yīn dòng tīng yǐ jí ， méi mù rú huà ， zhèng shì lín xuān de ài qī ， ōu yáng qín xīn 。
说话的女子声音动听以极，眉目如画，正是林轩的爱妻，欧阳琴心。
The situation was critical, but the silver-eyed woman didn't have much time for politeness. The deafening roar continued, indicating that someone was fiercely attacking the禁制.
dé zhàng fū xiāng zhù ， cǐ nǚ gāng gāng shùn lì jìn jí ， rán ér tā suī rán mài rù le dù jié qī ， què shì xū yào jiāng jìng jiè wěn gù dì ， gù ér yě liú zài le zǒng duò 。
得丈夫相助，此女刚刚顺利晋级，然而她虽然迈入了渡劫期，却是需要将境界稳固地，故而也留在了总舵。
"Sister, let's go check out the front line?"
gāng gāng dé dào xiāo xī ， yú shì yě fēi chū lái le 。
刚刚得到消息，于是也飞出来了。
"Agreed!"
“ cān jiàn shī bó ！”
“参见师伯！”
Ouyang Qinxin had no objections and together with the others, their streaks of light merged into one, flying towards the source of the noise.
ōu yáng qín xīn hòu miàn ， hái gēn zhe shù míng shào nǚ ， fēn bié shì gōng sūn yù ér ， shàng guān líng ， shàng guān yàn ， hái yǒu yè rú 。
欧阳琴心后面，还跟着数名少女，分别是公孙玉儿，上官翎，上官雁，还有叶茹。
Cloud Concealment Sect covered a vast area, but their speed was swift. They soon arrived.
jǐ gè yā tou jì rán bài lín xuān wèi shī ， shī zūn bù zài ， yú qíng yú lǐ ， dāng rán shì wéi shī niáng mǎ shǒu shì zhān dì 。
几个丫头既然拜林轩为师，师尊不在，于情于理，当然是唯师娘马首是瞻地。
However, what they saw shocked them greatly. Although the message about域外天魔 had been received, the sheer number of these creatures far exceeded expectations.
“ bù bì duō lǐ 。”
“不必多礼。”
While it wasn't quite遮云蔽日 (covering the sky and blocking out the sun), the view was dark with swirling demonic energy, stretching as far as the eye could see.
qíng shì wēi jí ， yín tóng shào nǚ què yě méi yǒu tài duō de xīn qíng kè qì ， cǐ shí cǐ kè ， yuǎn chù hōng lōng lóng de jù xiǎng hái zài bù tíng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， xiǎn rán shì yǒu rén zài kuáng gōng jìn zhì cái huì fā chū zhè yàng de shēng xiǎng xiào guǒ 。
情势危急，银瞳少女却也没有太多的心情客气，此时此刻，远处轰隆隆的巨响还在不停传入耳朵，显然是有人在狂攻禁制才会发出这样的声响效果。
If just the numbers were a concern, their faces wouldn’t have turned so pale. The key issue was that these creatures’ cultivation levels were formidable.
“ dì mèi ， wǒ men hái shì xiān qù qián fāng kàn kàn rú hé ？”
“弟妹，我们还是先去前方看看如何？”
The sect’s protective array had fully activated; the continuous mountain range was shrouded in misty vapor. This wasn't ordinary cloud; countless Five Elements禁制 hidden within it made Cloud Concealment Sect's protective array incredibly powerful.
“ yě hǎo ！”
“也好！”
Inside the array, countless cultivators were ready for battle. Once域外天魔 invaded the main hall, everyone understood what that meant—no one could escape unscathed.
ōu yáng qín xīn dāng rán bú huì yǒu yì yì le ， yú shì jǐ rén dùn guāng hé zuò yī chù ， fēng chí diàn chè ， xiàng zhe jù xiǎng shēng fā chū lái de dì fāng fēi guò qù le 。
欧阳琴心当然不会有异议了，于是几人遁光合做一处，风驰电掣，像着巨响声发出来的地方飞过去了。
Their morale was high as they didn't need to be motivated; new recruits kept joining their ranks.
yún yǐn zōng miàn jī guǎng bó ， dàn jǐ rén de dùn guāng nà yě shì shí fēn xùn sù ， hěn kuài jiù dào le 。
云隐宗面积广博，但几人的遁光那也是十分迅速，很快就到了。
With Cloud Concealment Sect fully mobilized, Lin Xuan’s absence didn’t matter. Over a thousand years of development had built a deep foundation.
rán ér rù mù suǒ jiàn ， què ràng tā men dà jīng shī sè 。
然而入目所见，却让他们大惊失色。
Woo...
suī rán chuán yīn fú yǐ jīng tí dào ， shì lái le yù wài tiān mó ， dàn yě wàn wàn bù céng xiǎng ， shù liàng huì zhè me duō 。
虽然传音符已经提到，是来了域外天魔，但也万万不曾想，数量会这么多。
The mournful horn echoed through the air.
shuō zhē yún bì rì yǒu xiē tài guò ， dàn fàng yǎn wàng qù ， què hēi yā yā de ， mó qì fān yǒng ， yī yǎn wàng bú dào biān jì 。
说遮云蔽日有些太过，但放眼望去，却黑压压的，魔气翻涌，一眼望不到边际。
Outside the array, the demonic soldiers roared in response.
ruò jǐn jǐn shì shù liàng zhòng duō ， hái bù zhì yú ràng jǐ nǚ de liǎn sè nán kàn dào rú cǐ dì bù ， guān jiàn shì ， zhè xiē jiā huo ， xiū wèi yì shì fēi tóng xiǎo kě 。
若仅仅是数量众多，还不至于让几女的脸色难看到如此地步，关键是，这些家伙，修为亦是非同小可。
Their voices were terrifying; some cultivators with lower cultivation levels turned pale.
cǐ shí ， yún yǐn zōng de hù pài dà zhèn ， yǐ wán quán kāi qǐ ， lián mián de shān fēng ， dōu lǒng zhào zhe yīn yūn de wù qì ， zhè kě bú shì pǔ tōng de yún wù ， lǐ miàn yǐn cáng de wǔ xíng jìn zhì shǔ bù shèng shǔ ， yún yǐn zōng de hù pài dà zhèn ， nà wēi lì zì rán bù sú 。
此时，云隐宗的护派大阵，已完全开启，连绵的山峰，都笼罩着氤氲的雾气，这可不是普通的云雾，里面隐藏的五行禁制数不胜数，云隐宗的护派大阵，那威力自然不俗。
"It's the soul-shattering sound; quickly activate the protective measures."
ér zài zhèn fǎ nèi ， wú shù de xiū shì ， yǐ zhěn gē dài dàn ， bì jìng yù wài tiān mó yí dàn chōng jìn zǒng duò ， jiū jìng yì wèi zhe shén me ， kě yǐ shuō ， rén rén dōu xīn lǐ qīng chǔ 。
而在阵法内，无数的修士，已枕戈待旦，毕竟域外天魔一旦冲进总舵，究竟意味着什么，可以说，人人都心里清楚。
The silver-eyed woman shouted. Although she wasn't afraid, she couldn’t ignore her disciples' safety.
shuí yě bù néng xìng miǎn ， suǒ yǐ tā men yě gēn běn bù xū yào dòng yuán ， měi yí gè rén dī shì qì ， nà dōu shì gāo áng yǐ jí 。
谁也不能幸免，所以他们也根本不需要动员，每一个人的士气，那都是高昂以极。
"Yes, Senior!"
ér bèi hòu ， hái bù tíng de yǒu xiū shì ， bǔ chōng jìn duì wǔ lǐ 。
而背后，还不停的有修士，补充进队伍里。
A cultivator responded and waved a flag. Several array mages left their ranks, floating in mid-air, each holding an array disk. They cast spells on them.
cǐ shí de yún yǐn zōng ， yǐ shì quán pài dòng yuán ， lín xuān suī bù zài zōng lǐ ， dàn zhè qiān nián de fā zhǎn ， yě bú shì shuō xiào dì ， dǐ yùn shēn hòu yǐ jí 。
此时的云隐宗，已是全派动员，林轩虽不在宗里，但这千年的发展，也不是说笑地，底蕴深厚以极。
The disks lit up, and the vapor swirled around them. Simultaneously, a melodious chant filled their ears.
wū ……
呜……
The pale-faced cultivators regained their composure; the soul-shattering sound was broken.
cāng liáng hào jiǎo de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ 。
苍凉号角的声音传入耳朵。
But this was just the appetizer.
zhèn fǎ wài ， nà xiē tiān mó jiǎ shì dùn shí páo xiāo qǐ lái le 。
阵法外，那些天魔甲士顿时咆哮起来了。
As the soul-shattering sound faded, another rumbling noise entered their ears from within the demonic clouds.
shēng yīn zhèn rén xīn pò ， bù shǎo xiū wèi shāo dī de xiū shì jìng rán liǎn sè fā bái qǐ lái le 。
声音震人心魄，不少修为稍低的修士竟然脸色发白起来了。
Then, hundreds of soldiers burst out from the demon array.
“ shì duó pò mó yīn ， kuài fā dòng yìng duì de fáng hù 。”
“是夺魄魔音，快发动应对的防护。”
These soldiers' mounts were even more eye-catching—prehistoric monsters resembling dinosaurs that had long since gone extinct.
yín tóng shào nǚ yī shēng jiāo hē ， tā suī rán bù pà ， dàn què bù néng bù guǎn zhòng dì zǐ de sǐ huó 。
银瞳少女一声娇喝，她虽然不怕，但却不能不管众弟子的死活。
Triceratops!
“ shì ， shī shū ！”
“是，师叔！”
Their bodies were massive; these demonic soldiers were nearly as tall as giants. They wielded large swords and axes, charging towards the clouds and light curtains with fierce determination. (To be continued...)
That deafening roar was like a thunderbolt in the clear sky, causing Nan Gong Xiu's face to twitch slightly. If not for her relatively stable mind and spirit, she would have been shaken into madness by the shockwave.
What is happening?
The young woman opened her eyes, her pretty face filled with surprise and curiosity.
Such a loud roar; even in the depths of Cloud Concealment Mountain, she couldn't escape its impact. Could there be an external enemy invading?
But that's impossible. The Cloud Concealment Sect has gained widespread fame, and Elder Lin Xuan just became the head of the Immortal Dao Alliance, his reputation soaring to new heights.
Who would dare provoke a tiger now? That would be as foolish as an old man hanging himself.
Following common sense, there shouldn't be such fools.
But the cultivation world is full of surprises, and with the current extraordinary period, any shocking changes are not unexpected.
With these thoughts in mind, her expression changed rapidly. Since she had no leads, she decided to stop overthinking it.
