这番选择也不能说有错，毕竟不到万不得已，谁也不愿意坐以待毙，有了领头者，其余的域外天魔，也开始蠢蠢欲动起来了。｀｀..
This choice wasn't entirely wrong. After all, no one willingly waited for death unless it was absolutely unavoidable. With a leader present, the域外天魔 began to stir.
lín xuān jiàn cǐ ， zuǐ jiǎo biān shǎn guò yī lǚ jī cháo zhī yì ：“ hǎo dǎn sè ， kě xī lín mǒu miàn qián bān mén nòng fǔ ， què shì tài yú chǔn le 。”
林轩见此，嘴角边闪过一缕讥嘲之意：“好胆色，可惜林某面前班门弄斧，却是太愚蠢了。”
Lin Xuan's lips curled into a sneer as he said, "Good胆色, but too foolish to show off in front of me."
huà yīn wèi luò ， lín xuān miàn sè bù biàn ， zhǐ shì yī gēn shǒu zhǐ chōng zhe gāo kōng yì diǎn 。
话音未落，林轩面色不变，只是一根手指冲着高空一点。
Before his words could fully leave his mouth, Lin Xuan remained calm and pointed at the sky with one finger.
“ pū chī ” yī shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， wǔ sè liú lí ， yī tuán huǒ yàn cóng tā zhǐ jiān chù fēi shè chū qù ， huà wèi yī xiān xì de jīng hóng ， shùn jiān xiāo shī dé wú yǐng wú zōng 。
“噗嗤”一声传入耳朵，五色琉璃，一团火焰从他指尖处飞射出去，化为一纤细的惊虹，瞬间消失得无影无踪。
A "pfft" sound entered his ears as a multi-colored crystal shot out from his fingertips, transforming into a slender streak of light that vanished instantly.
fēng chí diàn chè ， zài chǎng de lǎo guài wù wú bù tóng kǒng wēi suō ， xià yī kè ， cǎn jiào shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， ràng zài chǎng xiū shì bèi hòu hán qì zhí mào de yí mù chū xiàn le ， nà huǒ yàn zhuī shàng le táo zǒu de wū hóng ， táng táng zhōng qī mó zūn de hù tǐ mó qì jū rán méi yòng ， fǎn ér shì gāng yī jiē chù ， jiù bèi diǎn rán ， zhěng gè rén biàn chéng le yī tuán yào mù de huǒ yàn 。
风驰电掣，在场的老怪物无不瞳孔微缩，下一刻，惨叫声传入耳朵，让在场修士背后寒气直冒的一幕出现了，那火焰追上了逃走的乌虹，堂堂中期魔尊的护体魔气居然没用，反而是刚一接触，就被点燃，整个人变成了一团耀目的火焰。
The speed was like lightning; even the old monsters present couldn't help but narrow their eyes. The next moment, screams filled the air, causing chills to run down the spines of the cultivators present. The flames caught up with the fleeing black streak, and despite being an中期魔尊, his protective aura failed him. Upon contact, he was set ablaze, turning into a brilliant ball of fire.
jiāng nà mó zūn bāo guǒ zài qí jiān ， cǎn jiào shēng bù tíng de chuán rù ěr biān ， nà mó zūn zì rán bú huì zuò yǐ dài bì ， pīn mìng xiǎng yào jiāng huǒ yàn bǎi tuō ， rán ér bù lùn fǎ bǎo hái shì mì shù duì cǐ huǒ dōu méi yǒu yòng chǔ ， dàn jiàn tā fā fēng yì bān de zài tiān kōng zhōng bù tíng de dǎ gǔn zhe ， āi háo shēng dòng rén xīn pò ， dàn hěn kuài yòu gā rán ér zhǐ ， tā lián yuán yīng dài hún pò ， quán bù huī fēi yān miè diào le 。
将那魔尊包裹在其间，惨叫声不停的传入耳边，那魔尊自然不会坐以待毙，拼命想要将火焰摆脱，然而不论法宝还是秘术对此火都没有用处，但见他发疯一般的在天空中不停的打滚着，哀嚎声动人心魄，但很快又嘎然而止，他连元婴带魂魄，全部灰飞烟灭掉了。
The魔尊 was enveloped by the flames, screams echoing in Lin Xuan's ears. He wouldn't sit idly by; he desperately tried to shake off the flames. However, no matter how powerful his treasures or secret techniques were, they proved ineffective against this fire. He rolled around in the sky like a madman, his wails piercing the air until they abruptly stopped. His元婴 and soul were completely annihilated.
jiù yóu zì qǔ ， shuí ràng zhè xiē jiā huo lái líng jiè zuò è dì ， xiū shì yāo zú jiē dà gǎn kuài yì ， yù wài tiān mó men de liǎn sè zé nán kàn wú bǐ 。
咎由自取，谁让这些家伙来灵界作恶地，修士妖族皆大感快意，域外天魔们的脸色则难看无比。
Reaping what one sows, the other域外天魔's faces turned grim as the cultivators and demons alike felt a sense of satisfaction.
qián mén jù láng ， hòu mén yíng hǔ ， lín xuān yǔ nài lóng zhēn rén fēn bié zài zhè liǎng chù shǒu zhe ， nán dào tā men zhēn de shì zǒu tóu wú lù ？
前门拒狼，后门迎虎，林轩与鼐龙真人分别在这两处守着，难道他们真的是走投无路？
With wolves at the gate and tigers at the rear door, Lin Xuan and Elder Nael Dragon guarded both entrances. Were they truly cornered with no way out?
qián chē zhī jiàn bù yuǎn ， zhòng mó zūn bù gǎn qīng jǔ wàng dòng 。
前车之鉴不远，众魔尊不敢轻举妄动。
The lesson from before was still fresh in everyone’s minds; the other魔尊 hesitated to act rashly.
kě yào ràng tā men shù shǒu dài bì ， jiāng zì jǐ de mìng yùn jiāo yǔ bié rén shǒu lǐ ， yòu shì bǎi bān de bù yuàn yì 。
可要让他们束手待毙，将自己的命运交予别人手里，又是百般的不愿意。
But to surrender and leave their fate in others' hands was something they couldn't bear.
xiǎng yào tā men tóu xiáng hái zhēn shì wéi nán yǐ jí 。
想要他们投降还真是为难以极。
Forcing them to surrender would be extremely difficult, even for Lin Xuan himself. The plan of winning without fighting was ideal, but it proved challenging when put into practice.
lín xuān méi tóu yě shì wēi wēi zhòu qǐ ， suī rán zì jǐ zhè biān ， rú jīn yǐ zhàn jù le tiān shí dì lì ， dàn duì fāng ruò shì wán kàng dào dǐ ， xiǎng yào jiāng tā men yī yī miè chú nà yě shì hěn bù róng yì 。
林轩眉头也是微微皱起，虽然自己这边，如今已占据了天时地利，但对方若是顽抗到底，想要将他们一一灭除那也是很不容易。
Both sides fell silent as the situation became stagnant, the atmosphere growing increasingly tense. Some cultivators had already re-summoned their treasures.
ér qiě kùn shòu yóu dòu 。 zì jǐ zhè biān de sǔn shī yě shì bù xiǎo 。
而且困兽犹斗。自己这边的损失也是不小。
It seemed that a peaceful resolution wasn't possible.
jiū jìng gāi zěn me bàn ne ， bù zhǐ yù wài tiān mó ， lián lín xuān dōu xiàn rù liǎng nán de jué zé ， dōu shuō bù zhàn ér qū rén zhī bīng shì zuì hǎo de ， kě huà shì zhè yàng méi cuò ， shí jì cāo zuò què shì qiān nán wàn nán de 。
究竟该怎么办呢，不止域外天魔，连林轩都陷入两难的抉择，都说不战而屈人之兵是最好的，可话是这样没错，实际操作却是千难万难的。
Lin Xuan sighed. Perhaps he had overestimated his own abilities and underestimated the cost of victory.
wú jì kě shī ， shuāng fāng dōu xiàn rù le chén mò ， jú miàn zài cì biàn dé níng zhì qǐ lái ， qì fēn yuè lái yuè jǐn zhāng ， yǐ yǒu rén chóng xīn jì chū le fǎ bǎo 。
无计可施，双方都陷入了沉默，局面再次变得凝滞起来，气氛越来越紧张，已有人重新祭出了法宝。
With the plan to win without fighting failing, there was only one option left: all-out effort.
kàn lái hái shì bù néng shàn le 。
看来还是不能善了。
As a dominant figure, Lin Xuan was not lacking in courage or confidence.
lín xuān tàn xī 。
林轩叹息。
You can add me on WeChat by searching "Hundred Refinements to Immortality Fantasy Rain" or "hchy1982"
yě xǔ shì zì jǐ jiāng shì qíng xiǎng xiàng dé jiǎn dān tài guò 。 bù fù chū xī shēng yòu zěn me kě néng qǔ dé shèng lì ne ？
也许是自己将事情想象得简单太过。不付出牺牲又怎么可能取得胜利呢？
The current situation had already determined that a peaceful resolution wasn't possible. Only one choice remained. Just as Lin Xuan was about to shout, a clear voice interrupted: "Why must both sides suffer? Fellow Daoist Lin, if you don’t mind, let me mediate?"
xiǎng yào bù zhàn ér qū rén zhī bīng de jì huà luò kōng ， nà jiē xià lái ， jiù zhǐ shèng xià quán lì yǐ fù 。
想要不战而屈人之兵的计划落空，那接下来，就只剩下全力以赴。
This voice came out of nowhere but was clearly heard by everyone present. As soon as the words left her mouth, it felt like a stone had been thrown into a calm lake, stirring up the chaotic energies in the air.
zuò wéi yī fāng bà zhǔ ， lín xuān yì shì bù quē fá yǒng qì yǔ xìn xīn de 。
作为一方霸主，林轩亦是不缺乏勇气与信心的。
Amidst the swirling energy, a young woman emerged from the fierce wind.
dà jiā kě yǐ zài wēi xìn zhōng sōu suǒ “ bǎi liàn chéng xiān huàn yǔ ”， huò zhě “hchy1982” jiù tiān jiā huàn yǔ de wēi xìn le
大家可以在薇信中搜索“百炼成仙幻雨”，或者“hchy1982”就添加幻雨的薇信了
Her white attire shone like snow, and her skin was so delicate that one could break through it with just a touch.
yǎn qián de jú miàn yǐ zhù dìng bù kě néng wò shǒu yán hé ， nà jiù zhǐ shèng xià yí gè xuǎn zé ， lín xuān zhèng xiǎng yào yī shēng duàn hē ， rán ér jiù zài zhè shí ， qīng lěng de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ：“ hé bì liǎng bài jù shāng ne 。 lín dào yǒu ， ruò bù jiè yì ， ràng wǒ zuò gè hé shì lǎo rú hé ？”
眼前的局面已注定不可能握手言和，那就只剩下一个选择，林轩正想要一声断喝，然而就在这时，清冷的声音传入耳朵：“何必两败俱伤呢。林道友，若不介意，让我做个和事佬如何？”
She seemed flawless, like a celestial maiden descending from the clouds.
nà shēng yīn lái de tū wù ， zài chǎng de měi yī míng xiū shì què dōu tīng dé qīng qīng chǔ chǔ 。 huà yīn wèi luò ， jiù rú tóng jiāng yī méi shí zǐ tóu xià xiǎo hú ， jiǎo dòng le màn tiān de tiān dì yuán qì ， bù lùn líng qì bó qǐ 。 dōu biàn dé hùn luàn yǐ jí ， qiě quán bù cháo zhe yí gè dì fāng huì jù ……
那声音来得突兀，在场的每一名修士却都听得清清楚楚。话音未落，就如同将一枚石子投下小湖，搅动了漫天的天地元气，不论灵气勃起。都变得混乱以极，且全部朝着一个地方汇聚……
"Cloud Fairy!"
ér zài nà gāng fēng líng liè zhī chù ， què zǒu chū lái le yī miào líng shào nǚ 。
而在那罡风凌冽之处，却走出来了一妙龄少女。
Both cultivators, demons, and域外天魔 recognized this woman as someone of high rank. Lin Xuan's expression turned complex.
bái yī shèng xuě 。 jī fū chuī tán kě pò 。
白衣胜雪。肌肤吹弹可破。
From the mortal world to the spirit realm, their past was entangled with both hatred and affection. It left Lin Xuan unsure how to approach Qin Yan.
fǎng fú nà yún zhōng tiān nǚ ， hún shēn shàng xià méi yǒu yì diǎn xiá cī 。
仿佛那云中天女，浑身上下没有一点瑕疵。
They were both enemies and allies, bound by a mix of emotions. Recently, she had helped him greatly, but why did she appear at this critical moment?
“ yún zhōng xiān zi ！”
“云中仙子！”
Although Lin Xuan didn't know how to face Qin Yan, his mind remained clear as he analyzed her intentions.
bù lùn xiū shì ， yāo zú ， hái shì yù wài tiān mó ， zhǐ yào shì gāo jiē de cún zài ， hěn duō rén dōu jiāng cǐ nǚ rèn chū ， lín xuān de liǎn shàng ， gèng shì lù chū yī sī fù zá zhī sè 。
不论修士，妖族，还是域外天魔，只要是高阶的存在，很多人都将此女认出，林轩的脸上，更是露出一丝复杂之色。
"Fellow Daoist Xi."
cóng rén jiè dào líng jiè ， liǎng rén ēn yuàn jiū gé ， jiǎn bù duàn ， lǐ hái luàn ， shì chóu dí ， què yòu yǒu zhe dàn dàn de qíng sù ， yǐ zhì yú lín xuān dōu bù zhī dào gāi yòng shén me tài dù ， lái miàn duì qín yán le 。
从人界到灵界，两人恩怨纠葛，剪不断，理还乱，似仇敌，却又有着淡淡的情愫，以至于林轩都不知道该用什么态度，来面对秦妍了。
At that moment, Qin Yan's words echoed in the air.
yì dí yì yǒu ， ēn yuàn qíng chóu 。
亦敌亦友，恩怨情仇。
It was like a bolt of lightning. The cultivators present were left speechless, their eyes wide with shock.
zuì jìn tā dǎo shì bāng le zì jǐ xǔ duō ， dàn zài zhè ge jiē gǔ yǎn ér lái dào cǐ chù ， què yòu shì wèi hé ？
最近她倒是帮了自己许多，但在这个节骨眼儿来到此处，却又是为何？
What did she call him? Fellow Daoist?
lín xuān suī rán bù zhī dào gāi rú hé miàn duì qín yán ， dàn dà nǎo hái bù zhì yú biàn dé hùn luàn ， duǎn zàn de shī shén guò hòu ， biàn fēn xī qǐ le qín yán de lái yì 。
林轩虽然不知道该如何面对秦妍，但大脑还不至于变得混乱，短暂的失神过后，便分析起了秦妍的来意。
They had trained together?
“ lín shī dì 。”
“林师弟。”
This couldn't be right; after all, the famous Cloud Fairy was a域外天魔, and this was no secret.
ér jiù zài zhè shí ， qín yán de chēng hū què chuán rù le ěr lǐ 。
而就在这时，秦妍的称呼却传入了耳里。
At least, everyone here knew it.
píng dì jīng léi ， zài chǎng de xiū xíng zhě men ， wú bù jīng dé mù dèng kǒu dāi ， bù lùn xiū shì ， yāo zú ， hái shì lái zì tiān wài de nà xiē jiā huo 。
平地惊雷，在场的修行者们，无不惊得目瞪口呆，不论修士，妖族，还是来自天外的那些家伙。
And who was Lin Xuan?
qín yán jiào lín xuān shén me ， shī dì ？
秦妍叫林轩什么，师弟？
He was the leader of the Immortal Alliance, a legendary figure. Lin Xuan was human, a top-tier cultivator. There was no doubt about that. How could he possibly have trained with Qin Yan? This was absurd; calling it a joke would be an understatement.
liǎng rén jū rán yì chū tóng mén ？
两人居然艺出同门？
Everyone's gaze turned to Lin Xuan.
yǒu méi yǒu gǎo cuò ， xū zhī dà míng dǐng dǐng de yún zhōng xiān zi nǎi shì yù wài tiān mó ， zhè zài rú jīn ， yǐ gēn běn bú shì shén me mì mì le 。
有没有搞错，须知大名鼎鼎的云中仙子乃是域外天魔，这在如今，已根本不是什么秘密了。
How would he respond?
zhì shǎo zài chǎng de zhè ge děng jí de cún zài ， dōu yì qīng èr chǔ 。
至少在场的这个等级的存在，都一清二楚。
Even the域外天魔 seemed to forget their dire situation, as curiosity is universal.
ér lín xuān shì hé děng yàng rén ne ？
而林轩是何等样人呢？
"Fellow Senior Xi."
xiān dào méng zhǔ ， rú tóng chuán qí bān jué qǐ de dǐng jí qiáng zhě ， lín xuān shì rén lèi xiū shì ， zhè yì diǎn què dìng wú yí ， tā yǔ qín yán ， zěn me kě néng shì yì chū tóng mén de guān xì ， lí pǔ ， shuō huāng tiān xià zhī dà miù yě méi yǒu cuò 。
仙道盟主，如同传奇般崛起的顶级强者，林轩是人类修士，这一点确定无疑，他与秦妍，怎么可能是艺出同门的关系，离谱，说荒天下之大谬也没有错。
Lin Xuan’s response was simple because he could see that Qin Yan's eyes were clear and genuine; she wasn't trying to exploit him.
rén rén dōu jiāng mù guāng zhuǎn xiàng lín xuān le 。
人人都将目光转向林轩了。
If Qin Yan had ulterior motives, Lin Xuan wouldn’t have waited for death.
kàn tā rú hé huí dá ， biàn shì nà xiē yù wài tiān mó ， zài zhè yī kè ， sì hū yě wàng jì zì jǐ chǔ jìng bù miào dào jí chù ， bì jìng rén dōu shì yǒu hào qí xīn de ， zhè yì diǎn ， shéi dōu bù néng miǎn sú 。
看他如何回答，便是那些域外天魔，在这一刻，似乎也忘记自己处境不妙到极处，毕竟人都是有好奇心的，这一点，谁都不能免俗。
He would have retaliated fiercely. But since her gaze held no malice, Lin Xuan decided to cooperate and find out why she was here.
“ shī jiě 。”
“师姐。”
Having a friend was better than an enemy. Especially now, with the battle about to erupt, could Qin Yan's arrival change the situation?
lín xuān de huí dá hěn jiǎn dān ， yīn wèi tā kàn chū qín yán de yǎn shén hěn qīng chè ， jué bú shì lái lì yòng zì jǐ de 。
林轩的回答很简单，因为他看出秦妍的眼神很清澈，绝不是来利用自己的。
After all, it would be beneficial for everyone to minimize costs. Lin Xuan’s face showed some hope as he replied "Fellow Senior Xi."
fǒu zé ， lín xuān kě bú shì kàn jiàn měi nǚ jiù zǒu bù liǎo lù ， qín yán ruò shì jū xīn pǒ cè ， lín xuān yě jué bú huì yǒu zuò yǐ dài bì yī shuō 。
否则，林轩可不是看见美女就走不了路，秦妍若是居心叵测，林轩也绝不会有坐以待毙一说。
This single phrase left the cultivators stunned, their expressions filled with surprise. How could a leader of the Immortal Alliance and a域外天魔 possibly have trained together?
bì rán hěn hěn fǎn jī ， dàn cǐ shí ， duì fāng de yǎn shén méi yǒu è yì ， lín xuān yě jiù bù fáng pèi hé yī xiē ， kàn kàn tā lái cǐ de mù dì 。
必然狠狠反击，但此时，对方的眼神没有恶意，林轩也就不妨配合一些，看看她来此的目的。
Was Lord Alliance controlled by her?
duō yí gè péng yǒu ， zǒng shì bǐ duō yí gè dí rén hǎo de 。
多一个朋友，总是比多一个敌人好的。
The thought was quickly dismissed; Lin Xuan's strength was well-known, and Cloud Fairy’s abilities were far from enough to control him.
hé kuàng shì zài zhè ge jiē gǔ yǎn ， miàn duì zhè xiē bù kěn shù shǒu jiù fù de yù wài tiān mó ， dà zhàn yǐ dào yī chù jí fā de dì bù ， qín yán de dào lái ， huì bú huì ràng zhè yàng de jú miàn yǒu suǒ gǎi guān ne ？
何况是在这个节骨眼，面对这些不肯束手就缚的域外天魔，大战已到一触即发的地步，秦妍的到来，会不会让这样的局面有所改观呢？
Qin Yan seemed satisfied with his response as she smiled at him. She then sighed: "Fellow Daoists, don’t be surprised. I did indeed train under the same master as Lin Xuan. However, that was a long time ago. You likely don't know that my elder brother, the Flying Heavenly魔祖, once led the域外天魔."
bì jìng néng shǎo fù chū yī xiē dài jià ， duì dà jiā dōu yǒu hǎo chù ， lín xuān de liǎn shàng yě jiù lù chū le jǐ fēn qī dài zhī sè ， duǎn duǎn yī jù ” shī jiě ” de huí fù ， lín xuān kě shì yǒu hěn duō kǎo liáng de 。
毕竟能少付出一些代价，对大家都有好处，林轩的脸上也就露出了几分期待之色，短短一句”师姐”的回复，林轩可是有很多考量的。
P.S.: First chapter of three today! (To be continued...)
This choice wasn't entirely wrong. After all, no one willingly waited for death unless it was absolutely unavoidable. With a leader present, the域外天魔 began to stir.
Lin Xuan's lips curled into a sneer as he said, "Good胆色, but too foolish to show off in front of me."
Before his words could fully leave his mouth, Lin Xuan remained calm and pointed at the sky with one finger.
