liǎng rén yì shì dù jié hòu qī de xiū xiān zhě ， ruò shì zhàng yǎn fǎ bì dìng mán tā men bù guò ， dàn yǎn qián de xū wú ， xiǎn rán yǐ jīng yǔn luò ， èr rén de liǎn shàng bù yóu de lù chū dà xǐ guò wàng zhī sè 。**.
两人亦是渡劫后期的修仙者，若是障眼法必定瞒他们不过，但眼前的虚无，显然已经陨落，二人的脸上不由得露出大喜过望之色。**.
The two were late-stage cultivators who had also successfully passed their tribulation. If it was an illusion, they would not have been deceived by it. But the fact that Voidness had already perished was evident, and both of them couldn't help but show a look of overwhelming joy.
“ gōng xǐ méng zhǔ ， hè xǐ méng zhǔ ， zhè zhēn shì wǒ nài lóng jiè zhī fú ！”
“恭喜盟主，贺喜盟主，这真是我鼐龙界之福！”
"Congratulations to the Alliance Master! Congratulations on your good fortune! This is truly a blessing for our Naelong Realm!"
zài chǎng de xiū shì tīng le ， suī rán yě gǎn chà yì ， dàn gèng duō de què shì huān xǐ ， tán guān xiāng qìng ， bù lùn rén lèi hái shì yāo zú ， liǎn shàng jiē yuè dòng zhe nán yǐ yán yù de xǐ sè 。
在场的修士听了，虽然也感诧异，但更多的却是欢喜，弹冠相庆，不论人类还是妖族，脸上皆跃动着难以言喻的喜色。
The cultivators present were indeed surprised, but their main reaction was one of joy. They congratulated each other, human or beast alike, all showing an indescribable sense of happiness on their faces.
xū wú yǔn luò ， zhè yì wèi zhe shén me ， zài chǎng zhī rén yòu qǐ huì bù qīng chǔ ？
虚无陨落，这意味着什么，在场之人又岂会不清楚？
Voidness's demise meant what? The people present knew it well enough.
tā kě shì yù wài tiān mó de qī wèi dà shǒu lǐng zhī yī 。
他可是域外天魔的七位大首领之一。
He was one of the seven great leaders of the域外天魔 (Exterior World Demons).
rù qīn nài lóng jiè de yù wài tiān mó quán shì tā shǒu xià suǒ tǒng lǐng dì 。
入侵鼐龙界的域外天魔全是他手下所统领地。
All the demons invading Naelong Realm were under his command. Now that he had returned to the Underworld, this realm’s Exterior World Demons would be leaderless.
rú jīn jì yǐ hún guī dì fǔ ， nà yì wèi zhe cǐ jiè miàn de yù wài tiān mó yǐ qún lóng wú shǒu le 。
如今既已魂归地府，那意味着此界面的域外天魔已群龙无首了。
With this in mind, their next actions would have a much higher chance of success. If they previously had a 70% chance, now it was almost certain—9 out of 10.
rú cǐ yī lái ， jiē xià lái de xíng dòng ， shèng suàn huì dà zēng xǔ duō ， rú guǒ shuō yǐ qián shì yǒu qī chéng de huà ， nà me rú jīn ， kǒng pà yǐ shì shí ná jiǔ wěn 。
如此一来，接下来的行动，胜算会大增许多，如果说以前是有七成的话，那么如今，恐怕已是十拿九稳。
Such results couldn't help but bring joy to everyone.
zhè yàng de jié guǒ ， dà jiā zěn me néng bù huān xǐ yǐ jí 。
这样的结果，大家怎么能不欢喜以极。
This news was even more exhilarating than two great victories.
zhè shì bǐ liǎng chǎng dà jié hái yào lìng rén huān xīn gǔ wǔ de xiāo xī 。
这是比两场大捷还要令人欢欣鼓舞的消息。
But amidst the joy, many cultivators were filled with doubts.
dàn xīn xǐ zhī yú ， zhòng xiū shì xīn zhōng què yòu chōng mǎn le yí huò 。
但欣喜之余，众修士心中却又充满了疑惑。
How did Voidness die?
xū wú shì zěn me sǐ de ？
虚无是怎么死的？
Naelong True Man had made it clear that although he defeated a million demon soldiers, Voidness managed to escape from him. Lin Alliance Master didn't intervene either.
nài lóng zhēn rén yǐ shuō dé hěn qīng chǔ ， tā suī rán jiāng bǎi wàn mó jūn dōu dǎ bài diào le ， dàn xū wú què cóng tā shǒu lǐ táo tuō 。
鼐龙真人已说得很清楚，他虽然将百万魔军都打败掉了，但虚无却从他手里逃脱。
Who else could have done this?
lín méng zhǔ yòu méi yǒu chū shǒu guò 。
林盟主又没有出手过。
Knowing Voidness was no ordinary late-stage cultivator; even domain masters before him were like clay figures and paper puppets. One of the Nine True Demons, the Painted Demon, had perished at his hands.
ér chú le tā men liǎng rén ， shuí hái yǒu zhè yàng de běn shì ne ？
而除了他们两人，谁还有这样的本事呢？
In this realm, besides Lin Xuan and Naelong True Man, who else could have killed Voidness?
yào zhī dào xū wú kě bú shì pǔ tōng de hòu qī xiū xiān zhě ， yì bān de lǐng yù qiáng zhě zài tā miàn qián yě shì ní sù zhǐ hú ， jiǔ wèi zhēn mó shǐ zǔ zhī yī de huà mó ， kě shì zài tā de shǒu lǐ yǔn luò 。
要知道虚无可不是普通的后期修仙者，一般的领域强者在他面前也是泥塑纸糊，九位真魔始祖之一的画魔，可是在他的手里陨落。
Their thoughts churned as they looked towards the mysterious young woman in black.
fàng yǎn cǐ jiè miàn ， chú le lín xuān yǔ nài lóng ， shuí hái yǒu kě néng shā dé le xū wú ？
放眼此界面，除了林轩与鼐龙，谁还有可能杀得了虚无？
Could it be her?
bǎi sī bù dé qí jiě ！
百思不得其解！
But she was also an Exterior World Demon, and only mid-stage in tribulation. Was that possible?
hěn duō rén dōu jiāng mù guāng ， luò xiàng nà shēn chuān hēi yī de shén mì shào nǚ 。
很多人都将目光，落像那身穿黑衣的神秘少女。
Despite their doubts, no one dared to speak up at this moment. After all, the cultivators present were either leaders of sects or venerable figures with profound cultivation. Each was cunning, why should they take the lead in such matters?
nán dào shì tā ？
难道是她？
Lin Xuan being the Alliance Master naturally deserved to clear up any confusion.
kě cǐ nǚ yì shì yù wài tiān mó ， ér qiě jǐn jǐn dù jié zhōng qī ， zhè kě néng me ？
可此女亦是域外天魔，而且仅仅渡劫中期，这可能么？
Though the old monsters of late-stage tribulation were used to giving orders, they knew when to keep quiet. Lin Xuan understood this as well and didn't try to shirk responsibility. He placed his hand on his forehead and spoke in a contemplative tone: "Your ladyship's generous gift leaves me humbled. But I wonder whose hands brought down Voidness. Please inform us."
yí huò guī yí huò ， zhè yī cì ， què méi yǒu rén mào rán kāi kǒu le 。
疑惑归疑惑，这一次，却没有人冒然开口了。
Despite being an Exterior World Demon, the gift was significant enough for Lin Xuan to treat her with respect.
bì jìng cǐ kè zài dà diàn zhōng de xiū xiān zhě 。 bú shì yī pài zhī zhǔ ， jiù shì xiū wèi jīng shēn de qián bèi rén wù ， měi yí gè ， dōu lǎo jiān jù huá ， zhè zhǒng shì qíng ， hé bì zì jǐ chū tóu a ！
毕竟此刻在大殿中的修仙者。不是一派之主，就是修为精深的前辈人物，每一个，都老奸巨猾，这种事情，何必自己出头啊！
"Is it necessary to ask such a question, friend Daoist?" the young woman in black sighed, showing some dissatisfaction on her face.
lín xuān jì shì méng zhǔ ， zì rán yě yīng gāi yóu tā lái jiě kāi yí huò 。
林轩既是盟主，自然也应该由他来解开疑惑。
"Knowing and asking?"
dù jié qī lǎo guài men suī yí zhǐ qì shǐ guàn le ， dàn yě fēn chǎng hé ， gāi dī diào de shí hòu ， tā men yí gè gè 。 yě huì zhù kǒu bù yán de 。
渡劫期老怪们虽颐指气使惯了，但也分场合，该低调的时候，他们一个个。也会住口不言的。
"Yes, as an Exterior World Demon, your guess about my lady's name is futile. Are you pretending ignorance or just being silly?"
zhè dào lǐ ， lín xuān zì rán yě xīn lǐ yǒu shù ， tā yě méi xiǎng guò ， yào tuī xiè zé rèn shén me ， yú shì yǐ shǒu fǔ é ， chén yín zhe kāi kǒu le ：“ xiān zi de dà lǐ ， lín mǒu zhēn shì shòu chǒng ruò jīng ， dàn xiǎng bì xū wú bìng fēi xiān zi suǒ qín ， bù zhī tā yǔn luò zài hé rén de shǒu lǐ 。 hái wàng xiān zi gào zhī 。”
这道理，林轩自然也心里有数，他也没想过，要推卸责任什么，于是以手抚额，沉吟着开口了：“仙子的大礼，林某真是受宠若惊，但想必虚无并非仙子所擒，不知他陨落在何人的手里。还望仙子告知。”
Her words had a hint of provocation, suggesting that Lin Xuan was colluding with the Exterior World Demons.
duì fāng suī shì yù wài tiān mó ， dàn sòng de zhè jiàn lǐ wù zhe shí fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， lín xuān zì rán yě huì yǐ lǐ xiāng dài le 。
对方虽是域外天魔，但送的这件礼物着实非同小可，林轩自然也会以礼相待了。
Of course, no one present would think so; Lin Xuan had turned the tide and together with Naelong True Man, he had secured victory for Naelong Realm. He wouldn't betray his own realm by colluding with demons.
biǎo xiàn dé kè qì yǐ jí ， bì jìng néng gòu zǎi diào xū wú de cún zài kěn dìng liǎo bù qǐ 。
表现得客气以极，毕竟能够宰掉虚无的存在肯定了不起。
Saying that dragons give birth to nine different offspring, it’s not impossible that some Exterior World Demons might be less vicious. Lin Alliance Master had a wide network of friends and perhaps knew one such demon.
“ lín dào yǒu nǐ yòu hé bì míng zhī gù wèn ne ？” hēi yī shào nǚ què tàn le kǒu qì 。 liǎn shàng dài zhe jǐ fēn bù mǎn zhī yì 。
“林道友你又何必明知故问呢？”黑衣少女却叹了口气。脸上带着几分不满之意。
The cultivators thought this way.
“ míng zhī gù wèn ？”
“明知故问？”
However, Moon and Ouyang Qinxin exchanged glances from behind Lin Xuan. Their expressions were somewhat strange, hinting at a slight unease.
“ bù cuò ， wǒ jì wèi yù wài tiān mó ， wǒ jiā xiǎo jiě de míng huì ， lín dào yǒu nǐ shì zhēn cāi bú dào 。 hái shì gù yì zhuāng shǎ ne ？”
“不错，我既为域外天魔，我家小姐的名讳，林道友你是真猜不到。还是故意装傻呢？”
This was not unusual; as his wives, they understood their husband's affairs well enough.
zhè huà tīng shàng qù jiù yǒu jǐ fēn tiǎo bō lí jiàn le ， fǎng fú lín xuān gōu jié yù wài tiān mó 。
这话听上去就有几分挑拨离间了，仿佛林轩勾结域外天魔。
An Exterior World Demon had traveled far to send such a generous gift to Lin Xuan.
dāng rán ， zài chǎng de xiū shì 。 méi rén huì zhè yàng xiǎng ， lín xuān kě shì lì wǎn kuáng lán ， yǔ nài lóng zhēn rén yì qǐ ， wèi nài lóng jiè kāi chuàng le shèng lì de jú miàn 。
当然，在场的修士。没人会这样想，林轩可是力挽狂澜，与鼐龙真人一起，为鼐龙界开创了胜利的局面。
Considering the three realms, only one person fit this description—Cloud Fairy!
tā gōu jié yù wài tiān mó ， nà qǐ bù shì shuō xiào huà ？
他勾结域外天魔，那岂不是说笑话？
But what did Qin Yan think?
sú huà shuō lóng shēng jiǔ zi ， gè bù xiāng tóng ， jí biàn shì yù wài tiān mó ， xiǎng bì yě bú huì shì quán dōu qióng xiōng jí è ， lín méng zhǔ jiāo yóu guǎng kuò ， yě xǔ biàn rèn shí nà me yí gè 。
俗话说龙生九子，各不相同，即便是域外天魔，想必也不会是全都穷凶极恶，林盟主交游广阔，也许便认识那么一个。
In the mortal realm, her husband treated her kindly, but in the Ten Thousand Mountains, she turned on him with no mercy. She even called for his death and destruction.
zhòng xiū shì rú cǐ xiǎng zhe 。
众修士如此想着。
Fine, if she wanted to repay a favor with malice, that was up to her. But now, she sent such a generous gift.
rán ér lín xuān xià shǒu ， yuè ér yǔ ōu yáng qín xīn duì shì yī yǎn ， biǎo qíng zé biàn dé yǒu xiē gǔ guài 。
然而林轩下首，月儿与欧阳琴心对视一眼，表情则变得有些古怪。
This behavior was unpredictable and confusing.
fǎng fú yǐn yǐn hái yǒu jǐ fēn bù kuài 。
仿佛隐隐还有几分不快。
Was there a plot? There wasn't any reason to use Voidness as bait.
zhè bù xī qí ， liǎng nǚ jì shì lín xuān de ài qī ， duì fù fū jūn de shì qíng ， zì rán yě shì hěn qīng chǔ dì 。
这不稀奇，两女既是林轩的爱妻，对付夫君的事情，自然也是很清楚地。
Did she want to mend relations but avoid face-to-face meetings, sending the gift through others instead?
yù wài tiān mó ， hái qiān lǐ tiáo tiáo lái gěi lín xuān sòng shàng yī fèn dà lǐ 。
域外天魔，还千里迢迢来给林轩送上一份大礼。
Qin Yan's actions were mysterious and strange.
fàng yǎn sān jiè ， xiǎng lái xiǎng qù ， fú hé tiáo jiàn de rén ， yě zhǐ yǒu yí gè 。
放眼三界，想来想去，符合条件的人，也只有一个。
Not only Qinxin but even Moon harbored some suspicion towards Qin Yan.
yún zhōng xiān zi ！
云中仙子！
But regardless of their feelings, privately they could tell Lin Xuan about it. As the involved party, how could he not be aware of this?
zhǐ shì zhè qín yán jiū jìng shì zěn me xiǎng de 。
只是这秦妍究竟是怎么想的。
Lin Xuan sighed inwardly; what was Qin Yan up to? She had been distant and ambiguous in the mortal realm, now even more so.
rén jiè zhī shí ， fū jūn dài tā bù báo ， kě shí wàn dà shān ， tā què fān liǎn wú qíng ， duì lín xuān hǎn dǎ hǎn shā 。
人界之时，夫君待她不薄，可十万大山，她却翻脸无情，对林轩喊打喊杀。
But Voidness's demise brought countless benefits for him and the cultivation world. So Lin Xuan temporarily put aside his grudge with Qin Yan and said: "It is indeed her. Please convey my gratitude to your ladyship and say that I will remember this kindness. If given an opportunity, I will repay it."
hǎo ， nǐ yào ēn jiāng chóu bào ， nà yě suí nǐ ， kě yī zhuǎn yǎn ， yòu sòng shàng zhè me yī fèn dà lǐ 。
好，你要恩将仇报，那也随你，可一转眼，又送上这么一份大礼。
"Repay? How?"
fǎn fù wú cháng ， zhè nào de suàn shì nǎ yī chū ？
反复无常，这闹的算是哪一出？
Lin Xuan was taken aback by the question. His relationship with Qin Yan was unclear, so he could only speak as much.
shuō yǒu yīn móu ba ， yě méi yǒu ná xū wú mó jūn zuò ěr de dào lǐ 。
说有阴谋吧，也没有拿虚无魔君做饵的道理。
"Hmph, men are truly worthless. I wonder why my sister helped you," the demoness said in great displeasure, looking at Lin Xuan with disdain and leaving.
shuō tā xiǎng yào xiū fù guān xì ， què lián miàn dōu bù yuàn yì lù ， zhǐ shì pài rén sòng shàng zhè me yī fèn dà lǐ ， zǒng ér yán zhī ， zhè qín yán xíng shì mò cè guǐ yì 。
说她想要修复关系，却连面都不愿意露，只是派人送上这么一份大礼，总而言之，这秦妍行事莫测诡异。
"You..."
bù zhǐ qín xīn bù xǐ ， lián yuè ér xīn zhōng ， yě dài shàng le jǐ fēn jiè bèi zhī yì 。
不止琴心不喜，连月儿心中，也带上了几分戒备之意。
Lin Xuan remained speechless; it wasn't because of her attitude but how easily she could be misunderstood. Below, hundreds of cultivators looked at him with a knowing smile.
dàn bù guǎn rú hé ， sī xià lǐ kě yǐ gěi fū jūn shuō ， zài zhè lǐ ， liǎng nǚ què méi yǒu duō kǒu ， ér lián tā men dōu kě yǐ cāi dào ， cǐ shì shì qín yán suǒ wèi ， lín xuān zuò wèi dāng shì zhě ， yòu zěn me kě néng xiǎng bú dào zhè yī jié ne ？
但不管如何，私下里可以给夫君说，在这里，两女却没有多口，而连她们都可以猜到，此事是秦妍所为，林轩做为当事者，又怎么可能想不到这一节呢？
Though they didn’t say anything, their thoughts were easy to guess.
xīn zhōng kǔ xiào bù yǐ ， zhè qín yán jiū jìng wán de shén me bǎ xì ， rén jiè de shí hòu jiù yǔ zì jǐ ruò jí ruò lí ， rú jīn gèng shì dào le dí yǒu nán biàn de jìng dì 。
心中苦笑不已，这秦妍究竟玩的什么把戏，人界的时候就与自己若即若离，如今更是到了敌友难辨的境地。
"Truly commendable Alliance Master Lin! No wonder Naelong True Man is his sworn brother."
dàn bù guǎn rú hé ， xū wú mó jūn yǔn luò ， yú zì jǐ ， yú xiū xiān jiè ， dōu shì yǒu wú jǐn de hǎo chù 。
但不管如何，虚无魔君陨落，于自己，于修仙界，都是有无尽的好处。
"That’s right; he has several dual cultivation partners and even attracted the attention of Exterior World Demons."
suǒ yǐ lín xuān yě jiù zàn shí jiāng zì jǐ yǔ qín yán de ēn yuàn pāo dào le yī biān ， gǒng shǒu bào quán ：“ yuán lái shì tā ， hái qǐng xiān zi huí qù ， huí fù nǐ jiā xiǎo jiě ， jiù shuō cǐ dé lín mǒu míng jì zài xīn ， ruò yǒu jī huì ， yí dìng huì bào dá tā de 。”
所以林轩也就暂时将自己与秦妍的恩怨抛到了一边，拱手抱拳：“原来是她，还请仙子回去，回复你家小姐，就说此德林某铭记在心，若有机会，一定会报答她的。”
"Indeed, I wonder which demoness he offended. Even Voidness was killed by him. If this Alliance Master continues to be promiscuous, his future will be tragic."
“ jǐn jǐn shì bào dá ？”
“仅仅是报答？”
"Haha, that's true..."
“ nà nǐ yào rú hé ？” lín xuān bèi zhè ge wèn tí ， wèn dé shì yī lèng yī lèng de ， tā yǔ qín yán shì dí shì yǒu duì dōu xī lǐ hú tú ， huà zì rán yě zhǐ néng shuō dào zhè yī bù 。
“那你要如何？”林轩被这个问题，问得是一愣一愣的，他与秦妍是敌是友对都稀里糊涂，话自然也只能说到这一步。
Lin Xuan’s divine sense was so powerful that he easily heard the private conversations of cultivators.
“ hēng ， nán rén guǒ rán méi shén me hǎo dōng xī ， yě bù zhī dào wǒ jiě jiě wèi hé yào bāng nǐ 。”
“哼，男人果然没什么好东西，也不知道我姐姐为何要帮你。”
What nonsense! He was thoroughly annoyed; it was all hearsay and speculation.
nà tiān mó shào nǚ bù mǎn yǐ jí ， wàng xiàng lín xuān de biǎo qíng mǎn shì bǐ yí ， lěng hēng yī shēng ， piāo rán yuǎn qù 。
那天魔少女不满以极，望像林轩的表情满是鄙夷，冷哼一声，飘然远去。
But while the logic was sound, Lin Xuan couldn’t refute it. The misunderstanding had already formed, and the more he explained, the more he would appear guilty in others' eyes. So, he pretended nothing happened. (To be continued...)
The two were late-stage cultivators who had also successfully passed their tribulation. If it was an illusion, they would not have been deceived by it. But the fact that Voidness had already perished was evident, and both of them couldn't help but show a look of overwhelming joy.
"Congratulations to the Alliance Master! Congratulations on your good fortune! This is truly a blessing for our Naelong Realm!"
