zhì dì yǒu shēng ！
掷地有声！
With a resounding voice!
lín xuān de biǎo qíng xiǎn de shì xiōng yǒu chéng zhú 。**.
林轩的表情显得是胸有成竹。**.
Lin Xuan's expression was confident and assured. **.
tā què rán bú shì zài hú yán luàn yǔ ， zhǐ shì yǒu yí gè tiáo jiàn méi yǒu xiáng shuō ， nà jiù shì rú guǒ xiǎng yào yǒu zhè me dà de bǎ wò ， chú fēi nài lóng zhēn rén yǔ zì jǐ lián shǒu ， cái yǒu kě néng de 。
他确然不是在胡言乱语，只是有一个条件没有详说，那就是如果想要有这么大的把握，除非鼐龙真人与自己联手，才有可能的。
He wasn't just rambling; he had a condition that hadn’t been fully explained. If he wanted such high confidence, it would only be possible if Grandmaster Nai Long joined him.
rán ér zì jǐ pài qù péng lái xiān dǎo de xìn shǐ ， què yì zhí shì yīn xùn liǎo wú 。
然而自己派去蓬莱仙岛的信使，却一直是音讯了无。
However, the messenger he sent to Penglai Immortal Island had remained silent for too long.
àn zhào cháng lǐ lái shuō ， tā zǎo jiù yīng gāi huí dào cǐ chù 。
按照常理来说，他早就应该回到此处。
By all logic, he should have returned by now.
jiū jìng chū le shén me biàn gù ？
究竟出了什么变故？
What could possibly have happened?
lín xuān yì bù xiǎo de 。
林轩亦不晓得。
Lin Xuan didn’t know. He was at a loss.
bǎi sī bù dé qí jiě 。
百思不得其解。
He hadn't explicitly said anything because he didn’t want to dampen morale.
ér zhè yī qiè ， tā cǐ kè yě méi yǒu míng shuō 。
而这一切，他此刻也没有明说。
Although Lin Xuan and his older brother met infrequently, they knew each other well enough. Despite his laid-back demeanor, he was reliable.
bìng fēi jū xīn pǒ cè ， ér shì bù xiǎng yīn cǐ yǐng xiǎng shì qì bà le 。
并非居心叵测，而是不想因此影响士气罢了。
With the Void Demon Sovereign defeated, Penglai Mountain couldn’t have any unexpected changes. Perhaps there were delays, but his older brother wouldn't miss out on the battle against the Outer Heaven Demons; his reputation demanded it.
lín xuān yǔ dà gē suī jù shǎo lí duō ， dàn duì tā de xìng gé ， què hěn qīng chǔ ， bié kàn píng shí yī fù diào er láng dāng de shén sè ， qí shí shì hěn kě kào de 。
林轩与大哥虽聚少离多，但对他的性格，却很清楚，别看平时一副吊儿郎当的神色，其实是很可靠的。
Lin Xuan believed nothing would go wrong.
xū wú mó jūn jì yǐ bài zǒu ， péng lái shān bù kě néng yǒu shén me biàn gù 。
虚无魔君既已败走，蓬莱山不可能有什么变故。
Thus, he didn’t elaborate on this morale-affecting news.
yě xǔ shì yǒu shì qíng dān gē ， dàn wéi gōng yù wài tiān mó ， dà gē bù kě néng yǒu quē xí yī shuō ， bì jìng tā de shēng wàng zài nà lǐ bǎi zhe ， zhè jiàn shì qíng gēn běn jiù shì zé wú páng dài de 。
也许是有事情耽搁，但围攻域外天魔，大哥不可能有缺席一说，毕竟他的声望在那里摆着，这件事情根本就是责无旁贷的。
A 70% chance!
lín xuān xiāng xìn ， bú huì yǒu biàn gù 。
林轩相信，不会有变故。
The practitioners present all showed excitement.
suǒ yǐ zhè yǐng xiǎng shì qì de xiāo xī ， yě jiù méi yǒu ná chū lái xiáng shuō 。
所以这影响士气的消息，也就没有拿出来详说。
Prosperity often comes from taking risks. A 70% chance exceeded their expectations significantly. The saying "opportunities should not be missed" rang true. After years of suffering at the hands of Outer Heaven Demons, they were overjoyed to have a chance to expel them completely and were willing to risk it with Lin Xuan.
qī chéng bǎ wò ！
七成把握！
However, Lin Xuan didn’t mention Nai Long’s whereabouts. With so many cultivators present, not everyone could be ignored.
zài chǎng de xiū shì tīng le ， liǎn shàng dà dū lù chū xīng fèn zhī sè 。
在场的修士听了，脸上大都露出兴奋之色。
A young woman's voice interrupted: "Senior Lin is both wise and brave, with far-reaching plans. We naturally follow your lead. However, what about Grandmaster Nai Long? If he joins us, the success rate might increase."
fù guì xiǎn zhōng qiú 。
富贵险中求。
"Indeed, has there been any news from Grandmaster Nai Long? If he agrees to join, this will be a sure thing."
qī chéng de jī lǜ yǐ chāo chū tā men yù qī xǔ duō 。
七成的几率已超出他们预期许多。
...
suǒ wèi liáng jī bù róng cuò guò 。
所谓良机不容错过。
Various voices echoed.
zhè xiē nián ， tā men yǐ jīng shòu gòu yù wài tiān mó de qī rǔ 。
这些年，他们已经受够域外天魔的欺辱。
Lin Xuan sighed inwardly; it seemed he couldn’t fool everyone. As he pondered how to phrase his response more tactfully, a shout suddenly reached his ears: "Who dares to intrude into Cloud Concealment Sect..."
rú jīn yǒu jī huì jiāng duì fāng chè dǐ gǎn chū qù ， xīn zhōng zì shì dà wèi qiè xǐ ， yě yuàn yì suí lín xuān mào xiǎn yī cì 。
如今有机会将对方彻底赶出去，心中自是大为窃喜，也愿意随林轩冒险一次。
However, before the words were fully spoken, thuds and splashes sounded, indicating that those people had already fallen.
rán ér nài lóng zhēn rén de xiāo xī lín xuān bù yuàn yì tí ， zài chǎng zhè me duō xiū xiān zhě ， què bù kě néng rén rén dōu hū lüè guò qù 。
然而鼐龙真人的消息林轩不愿意提，在场这么多修仙者，却不可能人人都忽略过去。
Lin Xuan’s expression changed. He exchanged glances with the silver-eyed girl behind him. This was deep within Cloud Concealment Sect; numerous restrictions and guards patrolled here. Yet someone had managed to sneak in silently.
yī miào líng nǚ zǐ de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ lǐ ：“ lín qián bèi zhì yǒng shuāng quán ， shēn móu yuǎn lǜ ， wǒ děng zì rán yuàn yì wéi nín mǎ shǒu shì zhān ， rán ér bù zhī nài lóng zhēn rén shì hé tài dù ， ruò shì shí yǒu tā jiā rù 。 chéng gōng lǜ kǒng pà huì gèng dà yī xiē 。”
一妙龄女子的声音传入耳朵里：“林前辈智勇双全，深谋远虑，我等自然愿意唯您马首是瞻，然而不知鼐龙真人是何态度，若事时有他加入。成功率恐怕会更大一些。”
The intruder was not well-meaning!
“ bù cuò ， nài lóng qián bèi nà lǐ kě yǒu xiāo xī ， ruò tā yě yuàn yì qián wǎng ， cǐ shì jiù shí ná jiǔ wěn le 。”
“不错，鼐龙前辈那里可有消息，若他也愿意前往，此事就十拿九稳了。”
And what boldness!
……
……
Lin Xuan's gaze sharpened as he heard a creaking sound, followed by the slow opening of the door. A black lotus flower bloomed silently and mysteriously.
yī shí jiān ， qī zuǐ bā shé de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ 。
一时间，七嘴八舌的声音传入耳朵。
A young woman dressed in black emerged. Her eyebrows resembled distant mountains, exuding an air of rugged charm. Her fair skin stood out even more against her dark attire, making her look like a harbinger of death.
lín xuān xīn zhōng tàn xī ， cǐ shì guǒ rán hù nòng bù guò qù ， zhèng xiǎng zhe zěn yàng cái néng shuō dé wěi wǎn yī xiē ， rán ér jiù zài zhè shí ， yī zhèn hū hè shēng què chuán rù ěr lǐ ：“ shén me rén ， gǎn chuǎng wǒ yún yǐn zōng ……”
林轩心中叹息，此事果然糊弄不过去，正想着怎样才能说得委婉一些，然而就在这时，一阵呼喝声却传入耳里：“什么人，敢闯我云隐宗……”
Outer Heaven Demon!
rán ér huà yīn wèi luò 。 pū tōng zhī shēng jiē lián chuán chū ， xiǎn rán nà xiē rén ， yǐ fān shēn zāi dǎo le 。
然而话音未落。噗通之声接连传出，显然那些人，已翻身栽倒了。
The result was shocking to the practitioners, not because they were afraid but because it was surprising. In this grand hall, many experts were present. Unless the Void Demon Sovereign himself had come here, everyone might have hesitated. But other Outer Heaven Demons would be courting death.
lín xuān bù yóu de liǎn sè yī biàn ， yǔ zhàn zài shēn hòu de yín tóng shào nǚ duì wàng yī yǎn ， zhè lǐ kě shì yún yǐn zōng shēn chù ， jìn zhì shǒu wèi shǔ bù shèng shǔ ， biàn shì hòu qī cún zài yě bù néng qīng yì chuǎng rù ， duì fāng jū rán qiāo wú shēng xī jiù dào zhè lǐ le 。
林轩不由得脸色一变，与站在身后的银瞳少女对望一眼，这里可是云隐宗深处，禁制守卫数不胜数，便是后期存在也不能轻易闯入，对方居然悄无声息就到这里了。
The Black Phoenix Cave Master, who had been possessed by an Outer Heaven demon consciousness, had been exposed by Lin Xuan. Yet this woman was boldly stepping into Cloud Concealment Sect, which was sheer madness.
lái zhě bù shàn ！
来者不善！
The disparity in strength!
ér qiě hǎo dà de dǎn 。
而且好大的胆。
Thus, the practitioners didn’t rush to capture her; they were curious about her intentions and wanted to see what she would do.
lín xuān de mù guāng biàn dé ruì lì qǐ lái 。
林轩的目光变得锐利起来。
Despite being in a dangerous situation, the young woman’s expression showed no fear. She raised her head and scanned Lin Xuan's face.
què tīng jiàn zhī ya yī shēng chuán rù ěr biān ， nà diàn mén huǎn huǎn dǎ kāi 。 yī duǒ hēi sè de lián huā zhàn fàng kāi lái 。
却听见吱呀一声传入耳边，那殿门缓缓打开。一朵黑色的莲花绽放开来。
"Are you that guy, Lin Xuan?"
wú shēng wú xī ， chōng mǎn le shén mì ， suí hòu lù chū yī shēn chuān hēi yī de miào líng shào nǚ 。
无声无息，充满了神秘，随后露出一身穿黑衣的妙龄少女。
Her voice was icy, carrying an indescribable chill.
méi rú yuǎn shān ， yǐn yǐn tòu chū yī gǔ jùn lǎng zhī qì 。 pí fū bái xī ， zài hēi yī de yìng chèn xià gèng xiǎn měi lì ， zhè shì yī wò zhe qí xíng bīng qì de nǚ zǐ ， jiù fǎng fú sǐ shén lín shì 。
眉如远山，隐隐透出一股俊朗之气。皮肤白皙，在黑衣的映衬下更显美丽，这是一握着奇形兵器的女子，就仿佛死神临世。
"How so, miss? Are you here to find me?"
yù wài tiān mó ！
域外天魔！
Lin Xuan’s expression showed surprise as well. He was curious about this unknown woman who had the audacity to enter Cloud Concealment Sect without hesitation.
rú cǐ jié guǒ 。 ràng zhòng xiū shì xiāng gù shī sè ， dào bìng bú shì wèi jù hài pà shén me 。
如此结果。让众修士相顾失色，倒并不是畏惧害怕什么。
"Yes, I have a gift for you and wish to meet the famous Alliance Master," she said confidently.
ér shì jīng qí 。
而是惊奇。
"A gift for me?"
yào zhī dào cǐ shí de dà diàn lǐ ， kě shì gāo shǒu yún jí 。 chú fēi xū wú mó jūn qīn lín zhè lǐ ， dà jiā huò xǔ hái huì yǒu jǐ fēn gù jì ， qí yú de yù wài tiān mó ， nà gēn běn jiù shì zì xún sǐ lù 。
要知道此时的大殿里，可是高手云集。除非虚无魔君亲临这里，大家或许还会有几分顾忌，其余的域外天魔，那根本就是自寻死路。
Lin Xuan grew increasingly surprised but noticed that her second statement: "Why do you want to see me? Are you satisfied with your visit now?"
xiàng gāng cái de hēi fèng dòng zhǔ ， shì bèi yù wài mó niàn duó shě ， zhè yàng dōu bèi lín xuān shí pò ， yǎn qián de mó nǚ ， jū rán míng mù zhāng dǎn de lái dào zhè lǐ ， zhè chún cuì shì nǎo dài yǒu wèn tí 。
像刚才的黑凤洞主，是被域外魔念夺舍，这样都被林轩识破，眼前的魔女，居然明目张胆的来到这里，这纯粹是脑袋有问题。
"Hmph. It’s just so-so. I wonder why someone would help you like this, and here's the gift."
qiáng ruò xuán shū ！
强弱悬殊！
As she spoke, a black aura emerged from her sleeve.
suǒ yǐ zhòng xiū shì dào yě bù máng zhe dòng shǒu jiāng tā qín zhù ， bì jìng rén dōu yǒu hào qí ， tā men yě xiǎng kàn kàn cǐ nǚ lái zhè lǐ jiū jìng yǒu shén me mù dì 。
所以众修士倒也不忙着动手将她擒住，毕竟人都有好奇，他们也想看看此女来这里究竟有什么目的。
A loud boom echoed as a copper coffin appeared before their eyes.
shēn chù lóng tán hǔ xué zhī zhōng ， nà hēi yī shào nǚ de biǎo qíng què bú jiàn yī sī wèi jù zhī sè ， fǎn ér tái qǐ zhēn shǒu ， mù guāng zài lín xuān liǎn shàng sǎo guò 。
身处龙潭虎穴之中，那黑衣少女的表情却不见一丝畏惧之色，反而抬起臻首，目光在林轩脸上扫过。
The practitioners were speechless; such a gift was too extravagant. Lin Xuan’s pupils constricted, guessing what it might be. He stood up and approached the coffin with his sleeves flapping.
“ nǐ jiù shì lín xuān nà jiā huo ？”
“你就是林轩那家伙？”
Opening the lid, he revealed a corpse.
tā de shēng yīn qīng lěng yǐ jí ， dài zhe yī gǔ shuō bù chū lái de hán yì 。
她的声音清冷以极，带着一股说不出来的寒意。
Although already dead, its presence still carried an overwhelming aura. Several nearby cultivators stepped back involuntarily.
“ zěn me ， gū niáng shì lái zhǎo lín mǒu de ？”
“怎么，姑娘是来找林某的？”
Void!
lín xuān liǎn shàng yì lù chū jǐ fēn chà yì zhī sè ， yǒu xiē hào qí ， tā què dìng méi yǒu jiàn guò yǎn qián de shào nǚ ， duì fāng jiū jìng shì nǎ lǐ lái de dǐ qì ， jū rán gǎn yǒu shì wú kǒng de chuǎng rù dào yún yǐn zōng lǐ 。
林轩脸上亦露出几分诧异之色，有些好奇，他确定没有见过眼前的少女，对方究竟是哪里来的底气，居然敢有恃无恐的闯入到云隐宗里。
Lin Xuan had only met this Outer Heaven Demon’s leader in person once, but their power level made it impossible to impersonate him. Even with just a fragment of his body, Lin Xuan could identify the identity clearly.
“ bù cuò ， wǒ lái zhè lǐ ， yī shì shòu rén suǒ tuō ， sòng yǔ nǐ yī jiàn lǐ wù ， zhè dì èr me ， zé shì xiǎng yào jiàn jiàn dà míng dǐng dǐng de lín méng zhǔ 。” shào nǚ luò luò dà fāng de kāi kǒu le 。
“不错，我来这里，一是受人所托，送予你一件礼物，这第二么，则是想要见见大名鼎鼎的林盟主。”少女落落大方的开口了。
"Truly Void!"
“ sòng wǒ lǐ wù ？”
“送我礼物？”
"How is that possible? How did the Void Demon Sovereign fall? Grandmaster Nai Long said he merely fled," someone asked.
lín xuān yuè tīng yuè shì jīng qí ， dàn duì fāng de biǎo qíng què bù xiàng shì zài gù nòng xuán xū 。
林轩越听越是惊奇，但对方的表情却不像是在故弄玄虚。
"Who killed this guy?"
dàn tā yì zhù yì dào duì fāng suǒ shuō de dì èr gè wèn tí ：“ nǐ xiǎng yào jiàn wǒ ， què shì wèi hé ， hái yǒu xiàn zài jiàn dào le ， shì fǒu lìng xiān zi mǎn yì ne ？”
但他亦注意到对方所说的第二个问题：“你想要见我，却是为何，还有现在见到了，是否令仙子满意呢？”
"This is too unbelievable. The Alliance Master must be cautious."
“ hēng ， gǎn jué yì bān bà le ， yě bù zhī dào nà rén wéi hé yào rú cǐ bāng nǐ ， hái yǒu lǐ wù ， nǐ ná qù 。”
“哼，感觉一般罢了，也不知道那人为何要如此帮你，还有礼物，你拿去。”
...
cǐ nǚ shuō dào zhè lǐ ， xiù páo yī fú ， yī dào hēi xiá fēi juǎn ér chū 。
此女说到这里，袖袍一拂，一道黑霞飞卷而出。
The surprise was too great, and the practitioners began to discuss wildly, speculating about various possibilities.
hōng lōng yī shēng jù xiǎng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， què shì yī jù tóng guān yìng rù yǎn lián le 。
轰隆一声巨响传入耳朵，却是一具铜棺映入眼帘了。
"Enough, no more chatter."
zài zuò xiū shì chēng mù jié shé ， zhè lǐ wù wèi miǎn tài lí pǔ ， dǎo shì lín xuān tóng kǒng wēi suō ， yǐn yǐn cāi dào le yì diǎn ， lí zuò ér qǐ ， xiàng nà tóng guān fēi le guò qù 。
在座修士瞠目结舌，这礼物未免太离谱，倒是林轩瞳孔微缩，隐隐猜到了一点，离座而起，像那铜棺飞了过去。
Lin Xuan’s voice boomed as his spiritual pressure rose from him. The air seemed to thicken, making everyone quiet down.
xiù páo yī shuǎi ， guān gài dǎ kāi ， yī jù shī tǐ xiǎn lù chū lái 。
袖袍一甩，棺盖打开，一具尸体显露出来。
"Two friends, please come over to see?"
suī rán yǐ jīng yǔn luò ， rán ér dài gěi rén de wēi yā yī jiù shì fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， zhàn dé jìn de jǐ míng xiū shì shèn zhì bù yóu zì zhǔ de tuì hòu jǐ bù 。
虽然已经陨落，然而带给人的威压依旧是非同小可，站得近的几名修士甚至不由自主的退后几步。
Lin Xuan spoke casually.
xū wú ！
虚无！
Despite the strange gift, he had seen many things in his time and quickly regained composure.
lín xuān suī rán jǐn jǐn shì huà shēn yǔ zhè wèi yù wài tiān mó de dà shǒu lǐng jiàn guò yí miàn ， dàn shí lì dào le tā men nà ge děng jí ， shì bù kě néng jiǎ mào dì ， nǎ pà jǐn jǐn shì yī jù cán qū ， lín xuān yì kě yǐ jiāng tā de shēn fèn biàn shí qīng chǔ 。
林轩虽然仅仅是化身与这位域外天魔的大首领见过一面，但实力到了他们那个等级，是不可能假冒地，哪怕仅仅是一具残躯，林轩亦可以将他的身份辨识清楚。
"Sure."
“ zhēn shì xū wú ！”
“真是虚无！”
"The Alliance Master has given orders; I will follow them."
“ zěn me kě néng ， xū wú mó jūn zěn me huì yǔn luò ， nài lóng zhēn rén bú shì shuō tā jǐn jǐn shì wàng fēng ér táo me ？”
“怎么可能，虚无魔君怎么会陨落，鼐龙真人不是说他仅仅是望风而逃么？”
Before they could finish speaking, a light laugh echoed. The Black Phoenix Demoness approached him, followed by Immortal Wan Xiao.
“ shì shuí shā de zhè jiā huo ？”
“是谁杀的这家伙？”
Both had faced Void in battle during the Heavenly River Valley conflict, making their identification straightforward.
“ zhè tài bù kě sī yì le ， méng zhǔ qiān wàn xiǎo xīn ， dī fáng yǒu zhà 。”
“这太不可思议了，盟主千万小心，提防有诈。”
Approaching closely, both released their divine sense to search carefully.
……
……
"Indeed, it is Void."
zhè ge jīng xǐ lái de tài dà ， zhòng xiū shì men dùn shí zhà kāi le guō ， qī zuǐ bā shé ， gè zhǒng kàn fǎ dōu lái le ， qí zhōng bù fá huāng dàn lí qí de cāi cè 。
这个惊喜来得太大，众修士们顿时炸开了锅，七嘴八舌，各种看法都来了，其中不乏荒诞离奇的猜测。
"Hmm, though this is just a fragment of his body, we can confirm that his essence has been destroyed. There’s no way he could fake it," (to be continued...)
With a resounding voice!
Lin Xuan's expression was confident and assured. **.
He wasn't just rambling; he had a condition that hadn’t been fully explained. If he wanted such high confidence, it would only be possible if Grandmaster Nai Long joined him.
However, the messenger he sent to Penglai Immortal Island had remained silent for too long.
By all logic, he should have returned by now.
What could possibly have happened?
Lin Xuan didn’t know. He was at a loss.
