氛陷入了短暂的沉寂。林轩正想开口。突然神色一动。居然这么快就找到了这里。区几名筑基期修士。居然还有这样的本事。”
The atmosphere fell silent for a moment. Lin Xuan was about to speak when his expression suddenly changed. It seemed they had found the place so quickly; even several Foundation Establishment stage cultivators could have such abilities."
liǎng nǚ de shén shí 。 zì rán wú fǎ hé lín xuān xiāng bǐ 。 dàn tóu nǎo què yě shèn wéi cōng míng 。 tīng le cǐ yǔ 。 liǎn sè yī biàn jiāo qū tóng shí chàn dǒu le qǐ lái
两女的神识。自然无法和林轩相比。但头脑却也甚为聪明。听了此语。脸色一变娇躯同时颤抖了起来
The two women's spiritual senses couldn't compare to Lin Xuan, but their minds were sharp. Upon hearing this, their faces turned pale and their bodies trembled.
méi xiǎng dào táo chū zhè me yuǎn 。 hái shì bèi běn mén de zhí fǎ shǐ fā xiàn 。 xiǎng xiǎng qián jǐ tiān nà jǐ míng tōu pǎo shī xiōng de xià chǎng 。 liǎng nǚ bù hán ér lì 。
没想到逃出这么远。还是被本门的执法使发现。想想前几天那几名偷跑师兄的下场。两女不寒而栗。
They hadn't expected to escape so far only to be discovered by the sect's law enforcers. Thinking of what happened to those few errant senior brothers a few days ago, both women shivered in fear.
lín xuān kàn le tā men yī yǎn 。 dào xiǎn de shén sè yōu rán 。 shuāng shǒu dào bèi 。 děng zhe duì fāng de dào lái 。
林轩看了她们一眼。倒显的神色悠然。双手倒背。等着对方的到来。
Lin Xuan glanced at them but appeared calm. He crossed his arms behind his back and waited for their arrival.
piàn kè hòu 。 dōng nán fāng xiàng xiàn le jǐ dào yán sè gè yì de dùn guāng 。 yào yǎn yǐ jí 。 ér mù dì dì xiǎn jiù shì zhè lǐ 。
片刻后。东南方向现了几道颜色各异的遁光。耀眼以极。而目的地显就是这里。
After a moment, several streaks of light of different colors appeared from the southeast, dazzlingly bright. The destination was clearly here.
“ shī jiě 。 zěn me bàn ？”
“师姐。怎么办？”
"Senior Sister, what should we do?"
liú xīn yǐ shì liù shén wú zhǔ lù yíng ér yǎo le bèi chǐ 。 què zhuǎn guò shēn lái 。 chōng zhe lín xuān liǎn yī lǐ ：“ qián bèi 。 zhè shì wǒ mén zhōng zhī shì 。 nín ruò méi yǒu bié de fēn fù 。 hái qǐng sù sù lí qù 。 ruò shì fā shēng wù huì jiù bù liǎo 。”
刘芯已是六神无主陆盈儿咬了贝齿。却转过身来。冲着林轩敛一礼：“前辈。这是我门中之事。您若没有别的吩咐。还请速速离去。若是发生误会就不了。”
Liu Xin was already in a state of shock as Lu Ying'er bit her lip but turned to Lin Xuan and bowed: "Senior, this is our sect's matter. If you have no other instructions, please leave quickly. Misunderstandings can be avoided."
lín xuān méi yǒu kāi kǒu 。 dàn yǎn zhōng què shǎn guò yī sī zàn shǎng zhī yì 。 cǐ nǚ néng shuō chū zhè fān huà lái 。 dào zhēn de hěn shí dà tǐ 。
林轩没有开口。但眼中却闪过一丝赞赏之意。此女能说出这番话来。倒真的很识大体。
Lin Xuan didn't speak, but a hint of approval flashed in his eyes. This woman could say such words; she truly understood the bigger picture.
nà jǐ rén de dùn guāng suī rán wú fǎ hé lín xuān xiāng bǐ 。 dào yě pǒ wèi xùn jié 。 jǐn jǐn yī zhǎn chá de gōng fu jiù lái dào le shàng kōng 。
那几人的遁光虽然无法和林轩相比。倒也颇为迅捷。仅仅一盏茶的功夫就来到了上空。
Although their light-speed techniques couldn't match Lin Xuan, they were still quite swift. They arrived above them within just a cup of tea's time.
guāng huá shōu liǎn yǐ hòu xiàn le liǎng nán yī nǚ 。 dōu shì zhù jī qī xiū shì 。
光华收敛以后现了两男一女。都是筑基期修士。
After the light faded, two men and one woman appeared—Foundation Establishment stage cultivators.
“ cáo …… cáo shī shū 。”
“曹……曹师叔。”
"Ca… Ca Senior Uncle."
kàn qīng chǔ wéi shǒu de dà hàn yǐ hòu 。 lù yíng ér hé liú xīn gèng shì qiào liǎn cǎn bái 。 lián zuǐ chún dōu shī qù le xuè sè 。
看清楚为首的大汉以后。陆盈儿和刘芯更是俏脸惨白。连嘴唇都失去了血色。
Lu Ying'er and Liu Xin turned pale as they recognized the leading figure. Their lips lost their color.
“ zǒng suàn shì zhǎo dào men le 。 hēng 。 hǎo dà dǎn 。 jū rán pàn chū wǒ líng yào shān 。” nà cáo xìng xiū shì shì yī sì shí yú suì de nán zi 。 biǎo qíng bīng lěng 。 bù nù zì wēi 。
“总算是找到们了。哼。好大胆。居然叛出我灵药山。”那曹姓修士是一四十余岁的男子。表情冰冷。不怒自威。
"At last, we've found you. Hmph, how daring! You actually betrayed our Spirit Medicine Mountain," said the man named Cao, a middle-aged man in his forties with an icy expression that exuded authority without needing to be angry.
cǐ rén de xiū wèi yě jū sān rén zhī guān 。 suī rán jìng jiè hái yǒu xiē bù wěn dàn què shí bù rù le zhù jī hòu qī 。
此人的修为也居三人之冠。虽然境界还有些不稳但确实步入了筑基后期。
His cultivation was the highest among the three, though still somewhat unstable, having entered the late Foundation Establishment stage.
liǎng wài liǎng rén zé zhǐ yǒu sān shí yú suì nián jì 。 yī míng shì shēn chuān bái de nǚ zǐ 。 róng zhǐ néng suàn shì yì bān 。 dàn shēn cái dào bǐ jiào rě yǎn 。
两外两人则只有三十余岁年纪。一名是身穿白的女子。容只能算是一般。但身材倒比较惹眼。
The other two were around thirty years old. One was a woman dressed in white; her appearance was ordinary but her figure was quite eye-catching.
zuì hòu yí gè shēn chuān shān zuò shū shēng dǎ 。 shǒu lǐ ná zhe yī bǎ zhé shàn 。 kě gěi rén de gǎn jué què bǐ jiào ** xiǎn 。
最后一个身穿衫做书生打。手里拿着一把折扇。可给人的感觉却比较**险。
The last one wore scholar's robes and held an open fan, giving off a dangerous vibe.
lín xuān zhòu le zhòu méi 。 tā jiā rù líng yào shān shí yǐ jīng bù duǎn kě lái shēn jū qiǎn chū 。 rèn shí de rén méi yǒu jǐ gè 。
林轩皱了皱眉。他加入灵药山时已经不短可来深居浅出。认识的人没有几个。
Lin Xuan frowned. He had joined Spirit Medicine Mountain for some time now, mostly keeping to himself, so he knew few people here.
yǎn qián zhè sān míng xiū shì 。 gèng shì cóng wèi jiàn guò 。
眼前这三名修士。更是从未见过。
These three cultivators were strangers to him.
“ cān jiàn sān wèi shī bó 。”
“参见三位师伯。”
"Salute the three senior uncles."
lù yíng ér yī lā liú xīn de yī xiù 。 tóng shí bài le xià qù 。 xīn zhōng chōng mǎn le huáng kǒng 。 zhè míng cáo fēng cáo shū bó 。 nǎi shì fēn tán xíng táng dì táng zhǔ 。 xīn hěn shǒu là 。 fàn shì luò zài tā dì shǒu lǐ 。 chǔ fá wǎng wǎng huì fèn wài yán lì 。
陆盈儿一拉刘芯的衣袖。同时拜了下去。心中充满了惶恐。这名曹峰曹叔伯。乃是分坛刑堂地堂主。心狠手辣。犯事落在他地手里。处罚往往会分外严厉。
Lu Ying'er tugged on Liu Xin's sleeve and bowed down, filled with fear. Cao Feng, a relative of his, was the head of the Punishment Hall in one of the branch sects. Known for his ruthless nature, any trouble falling into his hands would result in severe punishment.
jiàn liǎng nǚ chǔ chǔ kě lián de yàng zi nà cáo fēng què sī háo méi yǒu lián xiāng xī yù 。 shǒu yī yáng 。 cóng zhǎng xīn zhī zhōng fēi ** chū yī dào ** guāng lín xuān yǎn jīng yī mī 。 zhè wèi chū shǒu hái zhēn shì dǎi dú 。 yī jiàn miàn 。 jiù yào jiāng liǎng gè yā tou fèi le 。
见两女楚楚可怜的样子那曹峰却丝毫没有怜香惜玉。手一扬。从掌心之中飞**出一道**光林轩眼睛一眯。这位出手还真是歹毒。一见面。就要将两个丫头废了。
Seeing the two women looking pitiful, Cao Feng showed no mercy. He raised his hand and shot out a black light from his palm. Lin Xuan's eyes narrowed; this person was truly vicious, intending to incapacitate both girls right away.
ruò huàn yí gè shí jiān 。 lín xuān kěn dìng xiù shǒu bù guǎn 。 suī rán liǎng nǚ yǒu xiē kě lián dàn tā xiàng lái méi yǒu zuò jiù shì zhǔ de jué wù 。 yě jué bú huì yīn wèi duì fāng shì nǚ rén jiù dòng shén me wú liáo de cè yǐn zhī xīn 。
若换一个时间。林轩肯定袖手不管。虽然两女有些可怜但他向来没有做救世主的觉悟。也绝不会因为对方是女人就动什么无聊的恻隐之心。
If it were any other time, Lin Xuan would have stood by and done nothing. Although the two women seemed pitiful, he had no intention of being a savior or showing any pity because they were women.
lín xuān xíng shì dì yuán zé 。 shì wú lì bù zǎo qǐ 。 bù guò qià hǎo 。 zì jǐ suǒ chóu móu dì jì huà 。 hái yòng shàng zhè liǎng gè cōng míng líng lì de nǚ zǐ 。 zì rán bù néng kàn zhe tā men sǐ yú fēi mìng le 。
林轩行事地原则。是无利不早起。不过恰好。自己所筹谋地计划。还用上这两个聪明伶俐的女子。自然不能看着她们死于非命了。
Lin Xuan's principle was that there was no point in getting up early if there was no profit. However, his planned scheme required these clever and agile girls, so he couldn't let them die.
xiù páo yī fú 。 yī dào huǒ guāng fēi ** ér chū 。 huà wèi yī tiáo xiǎo qiǎo de huǒ shé 。 kǒu yī zhāng 。 jiāng nà lǚ ** máng tūn mò 。
袖袍一拂。一道火光飞**而出。化为一条小巧的火蛇。口一张。将那缕**芒吞没。
He flicked his sleeves and a flame shot out, transforming into a small fire snake. It opened its mouth and swallowed the black light.
zhè yī xià 。 sǐ lǐ táo shēng liǎng nǚ gù rán jīng xǐ jiāo jí 。 bāo kuò cáo fēng zài nèi dì sān míng zhù jī qī xiū shì zé liǎn sè ** chén le xià qù 。
这一下。死里逃生两女固然惊喜交集。包括曹峰在内地三名筑基期修士则脸色**沉了下去。
This sudden turn of events brought relief to the two women, but the three Foundation Establishment stage cultivators, including Cao Feng, looked even more grim.
“ gé xià shì shuí 。 wèi hé guǎn wǒ líng yào shān de xián shì ？”
“阁下是谁。为何管我灵药山的闲事？”
"Who are you? Why do you meddle in our Spirit Medicine Mountain's affairs?"
cáo fēng huǎn huǎn de kāi kǒu 。 kǒu qì chōng mǎn le ** sēn de hán yì 。 zǎo zài lái de shí hòu 。 tā jiù kàn jiàn liǎng nǚ de shēn páng 。 zhàn yǒu yī mò shēng de xiū shì 。 rán ér nà rén suī rán nián qīng 。 què yǒu zhù jī zhōng qī de xiū wèi 。 bù róng xiǎo shì 。
曹峰缓缓的开口。口气充满了**森的寒意。早在来的时候。他就看见两女的身旁。站有一陌生的修士。然而那人虽然年轻。却有筑基中期的修为。不容小视。
Cao Feng spoke slowly with a chilling tone. He had already seen an unfamiliar cultivator standing beside the two girls when he arrived. Although young, this person was at the middle Foundation Establishment stage and shouldn't be underestimated.
nán guài liǎng míng dī jiē dì zǐ duǎn duǎn zhè diǎn shí jiān 。 jiù táo chū le shù shí lǐ 。 yuán lái shì yǔ wài rén xiāng gōu jié 。 bù guò tā xīn zhōng rán fèn nù 。 què gù jì lín xuān de xiū wèi 。 méi yǒu lì kè xīng shī wèn zuì 。
难怪两名低阶弟子短短这点时间。就逃出了数十里。原来是与外人相勾结。不过他心中然愤怒。却顾忌林轩的修为。没有立刻兴师问罪。
No wonder these low-ranking disciples could escape so far within such a short time; they were cooperating with outsiders. However, despite his anger, Cao Feng hesitated due to Lin Xuan's cultivation level and didn't immediately confront him.
zhǐ yào zhè bù zhī míng de xiū shì shí de hǎo dǎi 。 bú yào zǔ náo zì jǐ jiāng liǎng gè yā tou dài huí qù 。 tā jiù zhǔn bèi wǎng kāi yí miàn 。
只要这不知名的修士识的好歹。不要阻挠自己将两个丫头带回去。他就准备网开一面。
As long as this unknown cultivator knew his place and didn't interfere with taking the two girls back, he would be lenient.
cáo fēng zì wèn 。 yǐ jīng gěi le duì fāng miàn zi 。 kě zhè xiǎo zi 。 jū rán bù zhī jìn tuì 。
曹峰自问。已经给了对方面子。可这小子。居然不知进退。
Cao Feng believed he had given the other party face. But this kid was clearly unwise.
“ xián shì 。 běn rén kě bù de 。 wǒ jīn tiān jiù shì guǎn le 。 nǐ yòu néng gòu rú hé ？” lín xuān què shén sè yōu rán 。 duì duì fāng dì dí yì shì ér bù jiàn 。
“闲事。本人可不的。我今天就是管了。你又能够如何？”林轩却神色悠然。对对方地敌意视而不见。
"Meddling? I don't mind it. If I do get involved today, what can you do about it?" Lin Xuan remained calm and ignored their hostility.
cáo fēng dà nù 。 shēn tǐ biǎo miàn 。 jìng rán mào chū le yī céng gǔ guài de hēi yàn 。 qì fēn zhòu rán biàn de jǐn zhāng le qǐ lái 。
曹峰大怒。身体表面。竟然冒出了一层古怪的黑焰。气氛骤然变的紧张了起来。
Cao Feng's anger flared as a strange black flame appeared on his body surface. The atmosphere grew tense.
lín xuān méi tóu wēi zhòu 。 qū jǐ míng zhù jī qī xiū shì 。 tā zì rán bù fàng zài yǎn lǐ 。 kě duì fāng de shén tōng 。 yǒu xiē gǔ guài 。 jìng rán xiàng shì mó dào gōng de yàng zi 。 jù lín xuān suǒ zhī 。 líng yào shān suī rán yǔ bì yún shān yī yàng 。 dōu xǐ huān bó cǎi zhòng cháng 。 dàn suǒ xiū xí de shén tōng 。 zhǔ yào hái shì dào jiā yī mài 。 xiū mó zhě 。 běn mén yīng gāi méi yǒu cái shì 。
林轩眉头微皱。区几名筑基期修士。他自然不放在眼里。可对方的神通。有些古怪。竟然像是魔道功的样子。据林轩所知。灵药山虽然与碧云山一样。都喜欢博采众长。但所修习的神通。主要还是道家一脉。修魔者。本门应该没有才是。
Lin Xuan frowned slightly; he naturally didn't care for several Foundation Establishment stage cultivators. However, the other party's abilities were peculiar, resembling techniques from the魔道 path. According to Lin Xuan's knowledge, Spirit Medicine Mountain, like Cloudy Mist Mountain, liked to borrow strengths but mainly practiced Daoist techniques. There shouldn't be any practitioners of the魔道 sect in their sect.
nà bái yī nǚ zǐ yǔ rú páo shū shēng yě shàng qián yī bù 。 chéng pǐn zì xíng jiāng lín xuān wéi le qǐ lái 。
那白衣女子与儒袍书生也上前一步。成品字形将林轩围了起来。
The white-robed woman and the scholar in robes stepped forward, forming a V-shape around Lin Xuan.
sān rén de shēn shàng 。 jiē fú xiàn yǒu shā qì 。 jì rán sī pò le liǎn 。 tā men jiù bù dǎ suàn ràng duì fāng huó zhe huí qù 。
三人的身上。皆浮现有杀气。既然撕破了脸。他们就不打算让对方活着回去。
All three exuded a killing intent; they had no intention of letting him leave alive.
“ hē hē 。 lín mǒu dǎo shì dì yī cì de zhī wǒ líng yào shān zhōng rén xíng jìng bà dào zhì cǐ 。 bù zhī dào sān wèi 。 jiū jìng shì nǎ yī wèi zhǎng lǎo mén xià 。 zài xià dào hěn xiǎng qǐng jiào qǐng jiào a ！”
“呵呵。林某倒是第一次的知我灵药山中人行竟霸道至此。不知道三位。究竟是哪一位长老门下。在下倒很想请教请教啊！”
"Haha, I've never heard that Spirit Medicine Mountain people could be so domineering. May I ask which senior brother or sister you belong to? I would like to learn from you."
lín xuān nù jí fǎn xiào 。 méi xiǎng dào yī yán bù hé 。 zhè sān wèi jiù xiǎng yào shā rén miè kǒu 。 qū qū zhù jī qī de xiū xiān zhě yě gǎn xiāo zhāng dào rú cǐ chéng dù 。
林轩怒极反笑。没想到一言不合。这三位就想要杀人灭口。区区筑基期的修仙者也敢嚣张到如此程度。
Lin Xuan's anger turned into laughter. He hadn't expected them to want to kill and silence him just because of a disagreement. Even Foundation Establishment stage cultivators dared to be so arrogant.
lín xuān xī le kǒu qì 。 bù zài yǐn cáng xiū wèi 。 kě pà de qì shì chōng tiān ér qǐ 。 jīng rén de líng yā ràng sān rén jī hū chuǎn bù guò qì 。
林轩吸了口气。不再隐藏修为。可怕的气势冲天而起。惊人的灵压让三人几乎喘不过气。
Lin Xuan took a deep breath, revealing his true cultivation level. A terrifying aura rose up, the shocking spiritual pressure almost making the three gasp for air.
“ níng dān qī …… nǐ shì níng dān qī dì xiū shì ？”
“凝丹期……你是凝丹期地修士？”
"Condensation Stage… Are you a Condensation Stage cultivator?"
gǎn shòu dào lín xuān nà shēn bù kě cè de shén shí 。 fēng yī xià zi liǎn bái rú zhǐ 。 shuāng xī yī ruǎn 。 chà diǎn guì le xià lái ：“ qián bèi bú yào shēng qì 。 quán shì wù huì 。 wǎn bèi nǎ gǎn yǔ nín dòng shǒu 。 zhè liǎng wèi shī 。 jì bèi qián bèi xiāng zhòng 。 nǎi shì tā men dì fú qì 。 nín jǐn guǎn dài zǒu jiù shì 。 wèi nú wèi huò zhě yào zuò dǐng lú 。 suí nín chǔ zhì 。”
感受到林轩那深不可测的神识。峰一下子脸白如纸。双膝一软。差点跪了下来：“前辈不要生气。全是误会。晚辈哪敢与您动手。这两位师。既被前辈相中。乃是她们地福气。您尽管带走就是。为奴为或者要做鼎炉。随您处置。”
Feeling Lin Xuan's profound spiritual sense, Cao Feng's face turned ashen white and his knees weakened; he nearly fell to his knees: "Senior, please don't be angry. It's all a misunderstanding. I dare not fight with you. These two seniors are fortunate if they've caught your attention. You can take them or use them for other purposes; it's up to you."
lín xuān yī zhèn wú yǔ 。 zhè jiā huo yī jiàn zì jǐ xiǎn lù xiū wèi 。 jiù xià de xīn jīng dǎn zhàn 。 lián biǎo míng shēn fèn de nà fān huà yě méi yǒu tīng qīng chǔ 。 fǎn ér jiāng zì jǐ dàng chéng le hào sè huò zhě liàn yǒu cǎi bǔ zhī shù de xié xiū 。
林轩一阵无语。这家伙一见自己显露修为。就吓的心惊胆战。连表明身份的那番话也没有听清楚。反而将自己当成了好色或者练有采补之术的邪修。
Lin Xuan was speechless. This guy was so terrified when he revealed his cultivation that he didn't even hear the introduction. Instead, he thought Lin Xuan was a lecherous or practiced in the术 of gathering essence.
jiù suàn àn zhào tā men de luó 。 liǎng nǚ fàn le mén guī 。 kě zài zhú chū mén zhī qián 。 yòu zěn néng qì rú cǎo jiè 。 zhè zhì běn mén de yán miàn yú hé dì ？
就算按照他们的逻。两女犯了门规。可在逐出门之前。又怎能弃如草芥。这置本门的颜面于何地？
Even if their logic held, two girls breaking sect rules couldn't be treated like trash before expulsion. How could they disregard the face of their sect?
líng yào shān nǎi shì néng yǔ zhèng mó dǐng zú ér sān de shì lì 。 tōng yǔ zhēn rén gèng shì ** huá shì guǐ de lǎo hú lí 。 zěn me huì shōu xià rú cǐ bù xiè de dì zǐ 。 kàn lái zhè lún xiàn qū de fēn tán què shí chū le wèn tí 。
灵药山乃是能与正魔鼎足而三的势力。通羽真人更是**猾似鬼的老狐狸。怎么会收下如此不屑的弟子。看来这沦陷区的分坛确实出了问题。
Spirit Medicine Mountain was one of the three major forces alongside the Daoist and魔道 sects. Senior Immortal Feathers knew as well as a wily old fox. How could he accept such unworthy disciples? It seemed there were indeed issues with this occupied branch.
piàn kè jiān 。 lín xuān nǎo hǎi lǐ jiù zhuǎn guò zhū bān niàn tou 。 rán ér què bù yōu fǎn xǐ 。 rú jīn de xíng shì 。 duì yú zì jǐ suǒ chóu móu de jì huà 。 sì hū gèng jiā de yǒu lì 。
片刻间。林轩脑海里就转过诸般念头。然而却不忧反喜。如今的形势。对于自己所筹谋的计划。似乎更加的有利。
In just moments, Lin Xuan's mind raced through various thoughts but felt relieved instead of worried. The current situation seemed more favorable for his planned scheme.
dàn yě bù néng jí 。 xiān jiě jué yǎn qián de wèn tí 。
但也不能急。先解决眼前的问题。
But he couldn't act rashly; first, he needed to solve the immediate problem.
“ nǐ lóng le hái shì shǎ le 。 méi tīng qīng chǔ wǒ gāng cái de huà 。 kàn kàn zhè shì shén me dōng xī 。”
“你聋了还是傻了。没听清楚我刚才的话。看看这是什么东西。”
"Are you deaf or stupid? Didn't you hear what I said earlier? Look at this."
lín xuān shuō wán 。 zhè chǔ wù dài shàng yī pāi 。 yī dào lǜ máng fēi ** chū lái 。 què shì yī bì lǜ sè de lìng fú 。 zhè zhèng shì dài biǎo tā shēn fèn de xìn wù 。
林轩说完。这储物袋上一拍。一道绿芒飞**出来。却是一碧绿色的令符。这正是代表他身份的信物。
Lin Xuan finished and tapped on the storage bag, a green light flying out. It was a jade-green command token representing his identity—a symbol of his status.
The atmosphere fell silent for a moment. Lin Xuan was about to speak when his expression suddenly changed. It seemed they had found the place so quickly; even several Foundation Establishment stage cultivators could have such abilities."
The two women's spiritual senses couldn't compare to Lin Xuan, but their minds were sharp. Upon hearing this, their faces turned pale and their bodies trembled.
They hadn't expected to escape so far only to be discovered by the sect's law enforcers. Thinking of what happened to those few errant senior brothers a few days ago, both women shivered in fear.
Lin Xuan glanced at them but appeared calm. He crossed his arms behind his back and waited for their arrival.
After a moment, several streaks of light of different colors appeared from the southeast, dazzlingly bright. The destination was clearly here.
"Senior Sister, what should we do?"
Liu Xin was already in a state of shock as Lu Ying'er bit her lip but turned to Lin Xuan and bowed: "Senior, this is our sect's matter. If you have no other instructions, please leave quickly. Misunderstandings can be avoided."
Lin Xuan didn't speak, but a hint of approval flashed in his eyes. This woman could say such words; she truly understood the bigger picture.
Although their light-speed techniques couldn't match Lin Xuan, they were still quite swift. They arrived above them within just a cup of tea's time.
After the light faded, two men and one woman appeared—Foundation Establishment stage cultivators.
"Ca… Ca Senior Uncle."
Lu Ying'er and Liu Xin turned pale as they recognized the leading figure. Their lips lost their color.
"At last, we've found you. Hmph, how daring! You actually betrayed our Spirit Medicine Mountain," said the man named Cao, a middle-aged man in his forties with an icy expression that exuded authority without needing to be angry.

Lin Xuan frowned. He had joined Spirit Medicine Mountain for some time now, mostly keeping to himself, so he knew few people here.
These three cultivators were strangers to him.
"Salute the three senior uncles."
Lu Ying'er tugged on Liu Xin's sleeve and bowed down, filled with fear. Cao Feng, a relative of his, was the head of the Punishment Hall in one of the branch sects. Known for his ruthless nature, any trouble falling into his hands would result in severe punishment.
Seeing the two women looking pitiful, Cao Feng showed no mercy. He raised his hand and shot out a black light from his palm. Lin Xuan's eyes narrowed; this person was truly vicious, intending to incapacitate both girls right away.

There shouldn't be any practitioners of the魔道 sect in their sect.
The white-robed woman and the scholar in robes stepped forward, forming a V-shape around Lin Xuan.
All three exuded a killing intent; they had no intention of letting him leave alive.
"Haha, I've never heard that Spirit Medicine Mountain people could be so domineering. May I ask which senior brother or sister you belong to? I would like to learn from you."
Lin Xuan's anger turned into laughter. He hadn't expected them to want to kill and silence him just because of a disagreement. Even Foundation Establishment stage cultivators dared to be so arrogant.
Lin Xuan took a deep breath, revealing his true cultivation level. A terrifying aura rose up, the shocking spiritual pressure almost making the three gasp for air.
"Condensation Stage… Are you a Condensation Stage cultivator?"
Feeling Lin Xuan's profound spiritual sense, Cao Feng's face turned ashen white and his knees weakened; he nearly fell to his knees: "Senior, please don't be angry. It's all a misunderstanding. I dare not fight with you. These two seniors are fortunate if they've caught your attention. You can take them or use them for other purposes; it's up to you."
Lin Xuan was speechless. This guy was so terrified when he revealed his cultivation that he didn't even hear the introduction. Instead, he thought Lin Xuan was a lecherous or practiced in the术 of gathering essence.
Even if their logic held, two girls breaking sect rules couldn't be treated like trash before expulsion. How could they disregard the face of their sect?
Spirit Medicine Mountain was one of the three major forces alongside the Daoist and魔道 sects. Senior Immortal Feathers knew as well as a wily old fox. How could he accept such unworthy disciples? It seemed there were indeed issues with this occupied branch.
In just moments, Lin Xuan's mind raced through various thoughts but felt relieved instead of worried. The current situation seemed more favorable for his planned scheme.
But he couldn't act rashly; first, he needed to solve the immediate problem.
"Are you deaf or stupid? Didn't you hear what I said earlier? Look at this."
Lin Xuan finished and tapped on the storage bag, a green light flying out. It was a jade-green command token representing his identity—a symbol of his status.
