第三卷幽州乱第五百二十九章隐匿术
Chapter 3: Chaos in Youzhou - Chapter 529: Concealment Technique
xuān tīng dào zhè lǐ xīn zhōng yī dòng ， xiǎng bú dào cáng bǎo gé jū rán shì yǎn rén ěr mù hǎo zài tiān chén dān pèi fāng yǔ jīng yáng shén dān què shí zài cǐ dì 。
轩听到这里心中一动，想不到藏宝阁居然是掩人耳目好在天尘丹配方与旌阳神丹确实在此地。
Lin Xuan's heart stirred as he heard this. He hadn't expected the Treasure Pavilion to be a cover-up, but the recipe for the Heavenly Dust Pill and the Jingyang Divine Pill were indeed here.
shēn wèi liù dà zhí fǎ zhǎng lǎo zhī yī ， zhè xìng hú de lǎo jiā huǒ shēn fèn zūn chóng ， méi xiǎng dào jìng shì jiān xì 。
身为六大执法长老之一，这姓胡的老家伙身份尊崇，没想到竟是奸细。
As one of the six senior law enforcers, Old Master Hu had a prestigious identity. Lin Xuan never imagined that such an esteemed figure would turn out to be a spy.
zhǐ shì duì fāng zěn huì qiāo wú shēng xī de qián rù zhè lǐ ， lín xuān xīn zhōng chōng mǎn le huò ， bù guò suí jí ， jiù yǎ rán shī xiào le 。
只是对方怎会悄无声息的潜入这里，林轩心中充满了惑，不过随即，就哑然失笑了。
However, how could the other party silently slip into this place? Lin Xuan was filled with bewilderment. But soon, he chuckled in silence.
zì jǐ guān zhù cáng bǎo gé ， yě bù guò liáo liáo shù zài ér yǐ ， duì fāng chǔ xīn jī lǜ xiǎng yào bào chóu ， què yǐ shì móu huà le shù bǎi nián zhī jiǔ ， suǒ huā de gōng fu xīn xuè bù tóng ， duì fāng suǒ zhǎng wò de qíng bào zì rán yuǎn fēi zì jǐ kě bǐ 。
自己关注藏宝阁，也不过寥寥数载而已，对方处心积虑想要报仇，却已是谋划了数百年之久，所花的功夫心血不同，对方所掌握的情报自然远非自己可比。
He had paid attention to the Treasure Pavilion for only a few years. The other party had been plotting revenge for centuries, spending countless efforts and resources. Therefore, their intelligence far surpassed his own.
yīng gāi hái yǒu bié de tú jìng ， bǐ rú shuō tōng guò chuán sòng zhèn zhí jiē lái dào zhè cáng bǎo gé de hé xīn ， bù guò rú jīn xiǎng zhè xiē yě méi yǒu yì yì ， dāng wù zhī jí shì gǎn kuài jiāng bǎo wù nòng dào shǒu shì zhèng jīng 。
应该还有别的途径，比如说通过传送阵直接来到这藏宝阁的核心，不过如今想这些也没有意义，当务之急是赶快将宝物弄到手是正经。
There must be other ways, such as directly teleporting to the core of the Treasure Pavilion through an array. But pondering these now would be meaningless. The immediate priority was to quickly secure the treasures.
xiǎng dào zhè lǐ ， lín xuān zhèng yù dòng shǒu ， nà ǎi pàng xiū shì de shēng yīn yòu chuán rù le ěr duǒ ：
想到这里，林轩正欲动手，那矮胖修士的声音又传入了耳朵：
With that thought, Lin Xuan was about to act when a voice from the plump cultivator entered his ears:
“ dà gē ， zhào nǐ suǒ shuō ， zhè jìn duàn dà zhèn yuán běn shì yòng lái jù jí dì huǒ ， zhēn de kě yǐ jiāng zhěng zuò líng yào shān zhà fēi me ？”
“大哥，照你所说，这禁断大阵原本是用来聚集地火，真的可以将整座灵药山炸飞么？”
"Big Brother, according to what you said, this forbidden grand array is originally used to gather earth fire. Can it really blow up the entire Spirit Herb Mountain?"
“ bù cuò 。” hú zhǎng lǎo dé yì de diǎn le diǎn tóu ：“ lǎo fū wèi le bào chóu ， duì yú zhèn fǎ yě yǒu yí dìng de yán jiū ， cǐ zhèn jí shǐ zài shàng gǔ shí qī ， yě kě yǐ míng liè shí dà qí zhèn ， jiāng fāng yuán bǎi lǐ nèi de dì huǒ jù jí zài yì qǐ ， lǎo fū zhǐ xiāo zuò xiǎo xiǎo de gǎi dòng ， jiù kě yǐ jiāng qí yǐn bào ， wēi lì zhī qiáng ， jué duì shì yuǎn yuǎn chāo guò nǐ de xiǎng xiàng ， líng yào shān ， chú le nà yuán yīng qī de xú lǎo guài yǒu kě néng táo guò yī jié ， qí tā de mén rén dì zǐ ， jiù suàn shì níng dān qī xiū shì ， yě huì bèi dì huǒ tūn mò ， zhěng zuò líng yào shān huī fēi yān miè ， mén rén dì zǐ quán dōu shēn sǐ ， wǒ hú jiā de dà chóu zì rán yě jiù bào le 。”
“不错。”胡长老得意的点了点头：“老夫为了报仇，对于阵法也有一定的研究，此阵即使在上古时期，也可以名列十大奇阵，将方圆百里内的地火聚集在一起，老夫只消做小小的改动，就可以将其引爆，威力之强，绝对是远远超过你的想象，灵药山，除了那元婴期的徐老怪有可能逃过一劫，其他的门人弟子，就算是凝丹期修士，也会被地火吞没，整座灵药山灰飞烟灭，门人弟子全都身死，我胡家的大仇自然也就报了。”
"It can," Hu Elder nodded smugly. "For revenge, I have some knowledge of阵法. Even in ancient times, this array could rank among the top ten wonders. By making minor adjustments, I can trigger its explosion. The power will be far beyond your imagination. The Spirit Herb Mountain—except for that old monster Dugu who might escape—the other disciples and apprentices will all be devoured by earth fire. The entire mountain will turn to ashes, and the disciples will perish. My Hu family's great grudge will thus be avenged."
lín xuān tīng dé àn àn xīn jīng ， tā zǎo yǐ xí guàn le xiū xiān jiè de xīng fēng xuè yǔ ， bù guò zhè lǎo jiā huǒ xīn sī zhī dǎi dú què yǐ dào le lìng rén tàn wéi guān zhǐ de dì bù 。
林轩听得暗暗心惊，他早已习惯了修仙界的腥风血雨，不过这老家伙心思之歹毒却已到了令人叹为观止的地步。
Lin Xuan was secretly alarmed. He had long been accustomed to the harsh realities of the cultivation world, but this old man's viciousness was truly astonishing.
rú guǒ tā suǒ shuō shì zhēn de ， líng yào shān shù wàn xiū shì ， bù xiāo yī shí sān kè ， quán dōu huì sǐ dé xī lǐ hú tú 。
如果他所说是真的，灵药山数万修士，不消一时三刻，全都会死得稀里糊涂。
If what he said were true, tens of thousands of cultivators on the Spirit Herb Mountain would all die in a moment without any warning.
rén fēi cǎo mù 。 suī rán zì jǐ zhè wèi shǎo mén zhǔ yǒu diǎn yǔ shì shí bù fú 。 dàn lín xuān duì yú mén pài 。 duō shǎo hái shì yǒu yī xiē gǎn qíng 。 tīng dào zhè lǐ zuǐ jiǎo biān bù yóu de lù chū yī sī jī cháo zhī sè 。 pèng jiàn zì jǐ 。 suàn zhè wèi hú zhǎng lǎo dǎo méi le 。
人非草木。虽然自己这位少门主有点与事实不符。但林轩对于门派。多少还是有一些感情。听到这里嘴角边不由得露出一丝讥嘲之色。碰见自己。算这位胡长老倒霉了。
Man is not a tree. Although his young master was somewhat inconsistent with reality, Lin Xuan still had some feelings for the sect. A sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth as he thought, "Bad luck for this Hu Elder to meet me."
dāng rán 。 tā dào bìng bú shì xiǎng yào dāng jiù shì zhǔ 。 zhǐ bù guò huà jiě zhè cì wēi jī bìng bù xū yào tài dà dì gōng fu 。 qū qū liǎng míng níng dān qī xiū shì lín xuān hái bù fàng zài yǎn lǐ 。 jiǎ ruò shì yuán yīng qī dì lǎo guài wù lín xuān zǎo jiù xié dǐ mǒ yóu 。 líng yào shān cún wáng yǔ fǒu zhǐ néng zì qiú duō fú 。
当然。他倒并不是想要当救世主。只不过化解这次危机并不需要太大地功夫。区区两名凝丹期修士林轩还不放在眼里。假若是元婴期地老怪物林轩早就鞋底抹油。灵药山存亡与否只能自求多福。
Of course, he wasn't trying to be a savior. However, resolving this crisis didn't require much effort. Two condensation core cultivators were nothing to him. If it were an old monster from the Dantian stage, Lin Xuan would have fled.
“ jì rán rú cǐ 。 nà wǒ men jiù dòng shǒu ba 。” ǎi pàng xiū shì tīng le hú zhǎng lǎo dì gǔ huò 。 yě jiāng duì líng yào shān dì xiē xǔ gǎn qíng pāo zhū nǎo hòu 。 mù lù xiōng guāng dì kāi kǒu 。
“既然如此。那我们就动手吧。”矮胖修士听了胡长老地蛊惑。也将对灵药山地些许感情抛诸脑后。目露凶光地开口。
"Since that's the case, let's get started," said the plump cultivator after Hu Elder's persuasion. He had also discarded his affection for the Spirit Herb Mountain and spoke with a fierce look in his eyes.
“ hē hē 。 zhè jiù duì le 。” hú zhǎng lǎo liǎn shàng lù chū mǎn yì zhī sè 。 pāi le pāi ǎi pàng xiū shì dì jiān bǎng 。 dāng xiān xiàng qián zǒu qù 。
“呵呵。这就对了。”胡长老脸上露出满意之色。拍了拍矮胖修士地肩膀。当先向前走去。
"Haha, that's right." Hu Elder smiled satisfactorily as he patted the plump cultivator on the shoulder and led the way forward.
nà kě yǐ jù jí dì huǒ dì shàng gǔ qí zhèn 。 jiù zài zhuāng yuán dì mì shì zhī zhōng 。 xū yào zhuā jǐn shí jiān le 。 suī rán zì jǐ jìn rù zhè lǐ dì fāng fǎ fēi cháng yǐn mì 。 dàn jiǎ rú bèi xú lǎo guài fā xiàn le bù tuǒ ……
那可以聚集地火地上古奇阵。就在庄园地密室之中。需要抓紧时间了。虽然自己进入这里地方法非常隐秘。但假如被徐老怪发现了不妥……
The ancient array capable of gathering earth fire was inside the manor's secret room. Time was pressing. Although entering here had been very discreet, if Dugu Old Monster discovered it...
huà yīn wèi luò 。 tū rán yī zhèn hōng lōng lóng dì jù xiǎng chuán rù ěr duǒ 。 hú zhǎng lǎo yí zhèng 。 huí guò tóu 。 zhǐ jiàn yǎn qián líng guāng shǎn shuò 。 yào dé rén yǎn dōu zhēng bù kāi le 。
话音未落。突然一阵轰隆隆地巨响传入耳朵。胡长老一怔。回过头。只见眼前灵光闪烁。耀得人眼都睁不开了。
Before his words were finished, a loud rumbling sound suddenly entered his ears. Hu Elder froze as he turned around and saw a flash of light before him that blinded his eyes.
hú zhǎng lǎo de liǎn sè shuā de yī xià cǎn bái ， yuè pà shén me yuè róng yì yù dào ， nán dào xú jǐn qīng zhēn yǐ shā lái ？
胡长老的脸色刷的一下惨白，越怕什么越容易遇到，难道徐锦青真已杀来？
Hu Elder's face turned pale in an instant. The more one feared something, the easier it was to encounter it. Could Dugu Jinqing really have arrived?
jǐn guǎn xīn zhōng tǎn tè ， dàn zhè jiā huo bù kuì shì yí dài xiāo xióng ， hài pà jiě jué bù liǎo wèn tí ， yǎn jīng yī mī ， níng shén xiàng qián fāng wàng qù 。
尽管心中忐忑，但这家伙不愧是一代枭雄，害怕解决不了问题，眼睛一眯，凝神像前方望去。
Despite his unease, this fellow was indeed a formidable leader. He didn't show any signs of panic as he narrowed his eyes and focused on the front.
hōng lōng yī shēng jù xiǎng ， suí hòu suǒ yǒu de líng guāng dōu àn dàn le xià qù ， nà zhuāng yuán wài miàn de ， bù guò shì yī céng yù jǐng dì jìn zhì ， lín xuān pò chú ， qīng ér yì jǔ 。
轰隆一声巨响，随后所有的灵光都黯淡了下去，那庄园外面的，不过是一层预警地禁制，林轩破除，轻而易举。
A loud rumble followed, and all the light dimmed. The warning禁制 outside the manor had been broken by Lin Xuan with ease.
“ yuán lái shì shǎo mén zhǔ 。”
“原来是少门主。”
"Originally, Young Master."
kàn qīng chǔ lín xuān de miàn róng ， hú zhǎng lǎo xiān shì yí zhèng ， míng xiǎn yǒu xiē è rán ， zhè lín xiǎo zi bú shì yǔ tōng yǔ zhēn rén qián wǎng jiǔ lóng shān cān yù huì méng ， zěn me huì chū xiàn zài zhè lǐ ？
看清楚林轩的面容，胡长老先是一怔，明显有些愕然，这林小子不是与通羽真人前往九龙山参与会盟，怎么会出现在这里？
Seeing Lin Xuan's face clearly, Hu Elder was taken aback. This young master wasn't supposed to be at the Nine Dragons Mountain participating in the assembly with True Immortal Tongyu. How did he end up here?
bù jiě ， dàn tā yě méi yǒu fèi xīn sī duō zuò sī liáng ， zhǐ yào bú shì xú lǎo guài jiù hǎo ， suī rán bù shǎo dì zǐ jiāng zhè wèi shǎo mén zhǔ chuán dé shén hū qí shén ， dàn tā hái bù jiāng yī qū qū níng dān zhōng qī de xiū shì fàng zài yǎn lǐ 。
不解，但他也没有费心思多做思量，只要不是徐老怪就好，虽然不少弟子将这位少门主传得神乎其神，但他还不将一区区凝丹中期的修士放在眼里。
Though confused, he didn't waste his time pondering further. As long as it wasn't Dugu Old Monster, that would do.
zì jǐ gāng gāng yǔ qī dì de duì huà ， yě bù zhī bèi tā tīng qù le duō shǎo ， dàn méi yǒu guān xì ， zǒng ér yán zhī miè kǒu le jiù shì 。
自己刚刚与七弟的对话，也不知被他听去了多少，但没有关系，总而言之灭口了就是。
He had no intention of fighting here. He wondered if Fairy Peacock had dealt with the Naga. After all, his purpose for coming here was not praiseworthy. It would be better to resolve this quickly and leave.
xiǎng dào zhè lǐ ， tā de liǎn shàng fú xiàn chū yī céng lì qì 。
想到这里，他的脸上浮现出一层戾气。
With that thought, Lin Xuan was about to use other means when he noticed the plump cultivator had vanished without a trace.
lín xuān jiàn le ， nǎ hái bù zhī dào tā xīn zhōng suǒ xiǎng ， sú huà shuō ， xiān xià shǒu wéi qiáng ， xiù páo yī fú ， piāo yún luò xuě jiàn yú yóu ér chū 。
林轩见了，哪还不知道他心中所想，俗话说，先下手为强，袖袍一拂，飘云落雪剑鱼游而出。
Was it concealment or stealth?
cǐ jiàn guāng huá yī shǎn ， lì kè fēn lí chū shù shí dào jiàn guāng ， dī liū liū yī zhuǎn ， qì xiàng wàn qiān ， rú shù shí dào lán sè de jù mǎng ， xiàng zhe hú zhǎng lǎo áng shǒu tǔ xīn pū guò qù le 。
此剑光华一闪，立刻分离出数十道剑光，滴溜溜一转，气象万千，如数十道蓝色的巨蟒，向着胡长老昂首吐芯扑过去了。
But showing off before him was like playing in front of an expert. Lin Xuan's thoughts flickered as Mo'er quietly flew out from his sleeve.
shēng shì jīng rén ， hú zhǎng lǎo bù yóu de yí le yī shēng ， kàn lái zhè wèi shǎo mén zhǔ néng gòu chuǎng chū rú cǐ dà dì míng tóu ， dào yě bú shì quán kào yùn qì chuī pěng 。
声势惊人，胡长老不由得咦了一声，看来这位少门主能够闯出如此大地名头，倒也不是全靠运气吹捧。
The little girl excelled at stealth and assassination techniques, so she would deal with the blind fellow.
dàn tā liǎn shàng yī jiù méi yǒu sī háo huāng luàn zhī sè ， shǒu zài chǔ wù dài shàng yī pāi ， yī zhāng tǔ huáng sè pò bù mú yàng de dōng xī bèi jì le qǐ lái 。
但他脸上依旧没有丝毫慌乱之色，手在储物袋上一拍，一张土黄色破布模样的东西被祭了起来。
One cannot judge a book by its cover. Despite his plump appearance, this cultivator's cultivation was far inferior to his elder brother. However, he had practiced an ancient secret technique of invisibility. Even peak condensation core cultivators might find it hard to detect him if they weren't focused.
shuāng shǒu huí lǒng ， qiā le yī dào gǔ guài de fǎ jué ， yī kǒu jīng qì pēn zài shàng miàn ， nà pò bù yíng fēng jiù zhǎng ， qǐng kè jiān huà wèi le yī dào jiē shí hòu zhòng de tǔ qiáng 。
双手回拢，掐了一道古怪的法诀，一口精气喷在上面，那破布迎风就涨，顷刻间化为了一道结实厚重的土墙。
Seeing Lin Xuan and his elder brother fighting so intensely that he couldn't intervene, the plump cultivator began to use his skills, hiding nearby and waiting for a chance to ambush.
pū ， pū ， jiàn guāng zhǎn le shàng qù ， nà tǔ qiáng yī zhèn yáo huàng ， chén tǔ fēi yáng ， shàng miàn gèng chū xiàn le shù chǐ shēn de huà hén 。
噗，噗，剑光斩了上去，那土墙一阵摇晃，尘土飞扬，上面更出现了数尺深的划痕。
However, although Lin Xuan was fiercely battling Hu Elder, he managed with ease. Although he couldn't focus on finding the plump cultivator's whereabouts, he guessed his intentions accurately.
lín xuān hēng le yī shēng ， cǐ bǎo de fáng yù lì dào yě kě yǐ ， bù guò yǐ wéi píng jiè zhè ge jiù kě yǐ dǎng zhù zì jǐ dì gōng jī ？
林轩哼了一声，此宝的防御力倒也可以，不过以为凭借这个就可以挡住自己地攻击？
With a flick of his sleeves, Lin Xuan released the Snowfall Sword from his robes.
zhèng xiǎng qū shǐ fǎ bǎo ， yī gǔ zuò qì ， què jiàn nà qiáng tǐ de biǎo miàn ， tū rán fàng chū yào mù de huáng guāng ， huà hén yǐ ròu yǎn kě jiàn de sù dù xiāo shī ， cǐ bǎo jìng rán yǒu zì wǒ xiū fù de gōng néng 。
正想驱使法宝，一鼓作气，却见那墙体的表面，突然放出耀目的黄光，划痕以肉眼可见的速度消失，此宝竟然有自我修复的功能。
The sword emitted a brilliant light, splitting into dozens of streaks that whirled around like blue serpents, lunging at Hu Elder with fierce intent.
lín xuān méi tóu yī tiāo ， dào zhēn dì yǒu xiē yì wài ， bù guò xiǎng xiǎng dào yě bìng bù qí guài ， zhè xìng hú de jiā huo láng zi yě xīn ， dàn bì jìng shì huò zhēn jià shí dì liù dà zhí fǎ zhǎng lǎo ， ruò méi yǒu yī xiē néng gòu fú zhòng de shǒu duàn ， yòu nǎ néng zài zhè ge wèi zhì shàng wěn rú tài shān ？
林轩眉头一挑，倒真地有些意外，不过想想倒也并不奇怪，这姓胡的家伙狼子野心，但毕竟是货真价实地六大执法长老，若没有一些能够服众的手段，又哪能在这个位置上稳如泰山？
The sight was impressive. Hu Elder couldn't help but exclaim, "This young master has indeed made a name for himself. It's not just luck and flattery."
lín xuān kě méi yǒu xīn qíng yǔ tā zài zhè ér màn màn dòu fǎ ， bù zhī kǒng què xiān zi shì fǒu jiě jué le nà jiā ， bì jìng zì jǐ lái zhè lǐ dì mù dì yě bù guāng cǎi ， zǎo diǎn jiàng tā jiě jué liǎo rán hòu lí kāi 。
林轩可没有心情与他在这儿慢慢斗法，不知孔雀仙子是否解决了那迦，毕竟自己来这里地目的也不光彩，早点将他解决了然后离开。
But his face remained calm as he snapped his fingers, summoning a yellowish cloth-like object from his storage pouch.
xiǎng dào zhè lǐ ， lín xuān zhèng yào jì chū bié dì shǒu duàn ， mù guāng yī zhuǎn què fā xiàn nà ǎi pàng xiū shì jū rán zōng yǐng quán wú 。
想到这里，林轩正要祭出别地手段，目光一转却发现那矮胖修士居然踪影全无。
With both hands, he cast an odd hand seal and exhaled a breath of essence energy onto it. The cloth swelled with the wind, quickly transforming into a sturdy wall.
yǐn shēn fǎ hái shì qián xíng shù ？
隐身法还是潜行术？
Puff, puff, the sword streaks struck the wall, causing it to tremble and dust to fly. Several feet-deep scratches appeared on its surface.
bù guò zài zì jǐ miàn qián mài nòng kě shì bān mén nòng fǔ ， lín xuān xīn niàn yī dòng ， yuè ér yǐ qiǎo rán cóng tā de yī xiù zhōng fēi chū 。
不过在自己面前卖弄可是班门弄斧，林轩心念一动，月儿已悄然从他的衣袖中飞出。
Lin Xuan hummed. This treasure's defensive power was commendable, but did he really think this could block his attacks?
xiǎo yā tou tóng yàng shàn cháng qián xíng àn shā zhī shù ， jiù ràng tā duì fù nà bù zhǎng yǎn de jiā huo 。
小丫头同样擅长潜行暗杀之术，就让她对付那不长眼的家伙。
Just as he was about to command his talismans for a full assault, the wall's surface suddenly emitted glaring yellow light, and the scratches vanished at an alarming rate. The treasure actually had self-repair capabilities.
suǒ wèi rén bù kě mào xiàng ， zhè ǎi pàng xiū shì suī rán fā fú ， xiū wèi yě yuǎn bù jí dà gē ， dàn què liàn yǒu yī mén shàng gǔ de yǐn xíng mì shù ， jiù suàn shì níng dān qī dǐng fēng de xiū shì ruò bù jí zhōng jīng lì ， yě hěn nán fā xiàn tā de zōng jì 。
所谓人不可貌相，这矮胖修士虽然发福，修为也远不及大哥，但却练有一门上古的隐形秘术，就算是凝丹期顶峰的修士若不集中精力，也很难发现他的踪迹。
Lin Xuan raised his eyebrows in surprise. This was indeed unexpected, but considering Hu's cunning nature, it wasn't surprising that he possessed such a technique to gain the sect's recognition.
yǎn jiàn lín xuān yǔ dà gē dǎ dé bù yì lè hū ， zì jǐ gēn běn jiù chā bù shàng shǒu ， yú shì tā yòu shī zhǎn dé yì běn lǐng ， yǐn zài yī páng ， xún zhǎo shí jī ， zhǔn bèi tōu xí 。
眼见林轩与大哥打得不亦乐乎，自己根本就插不上手，于是他又施展得意本领，隐在一旁，寻找时机，准备偷袭。
Lin Xuan didn't have time to engage him here. He wondered if Fairy Peacock had dealt with the Naga. After all, his purpose for coming here wasn't praiseworthy. It would be better to resolve this quickly and leave.
nǎ zhī dào lín xuān biǎo miàn yǔ hú xìng lǎo zhě dǎ dé jī liè ， qí shí què yóu rèn yǒu yú ， suī rán wú fǎ fēn xīn zhǎo chū ǎi pàng xiū shì de xíng jì ， dàn duì yú tā de dǎ suàn ， què yě cāi le gè ** bù lí shí 。
哪知道林轩表面与胡姓老者打得激烈，其实却游刃有余，虽然无法分心找出矮胖修士的行迹，但对于他的打算，却也猜了个**不离十。
With that thought, Lin Xuan was about to use other means when he noticed the plump cultivator's absence.
Was it concealment or stealth?
But showing off in front of him was like playing in front of an expert. Lin Xuan's thoughts flickered as Mo'er quietly flew out from his sleeve.

However, although Lin Xuan was fiercely battling Hu Elder, he managed with ease. Although he couldn't focus on finding the plump cultivator's whereabouts, he guessed his intentions accurately.
Chapter 3: Chaos in Youzhou - Chapter 529: Concealment Technique
Lin Xuan's heart stirred as he heard this. He hadn't expected the Treasure Pavilion to be a cover-up, but the recipe for the Heavenly Dust Pill and the Jingyang Divine Pill were indeed here.
As one of the six senior law enforcers, Old Master Hu had a prestigious identity. Lin Xuan never imagined that such an esteemed figure would turn out to be a spy.
However, how could the other party silently slip into this place? Lin Xuan was filled with bewilderment. But soon, he chuckled in silence.
He had paid attention to the Treasure Pavilion for only a few years. The other party had been plotting revenge for centuries, spending countless efforts and resources. Therefore, their intelligence far surpassed his own.
There must be other ways, such as directly teleporting to the core of the Treasure Pavilion through an array. But pondering these now would be meaningless. The immediate priority was to quickly secure the treasures.
With that thought, Lin Xuan was about to act when a voice from the plump cultivator entered his ears:
"Big Brother, according to what you said, this forbidden grand array is originally used to gather earth fire. Can it really blow up the entire Spirit Herb Mountain?"
"It can," Hu Elder nodded smugly. "For revenge, I have some knowledge of阵法. Even in ancient times, this array could rank among the top ten wonders. By making minor adjustments, I can trigger its explosion. The power will be far beyond your imagination. The Spirit Herb Mountain—except for that old monster Dugu who might escape—the other disciples and apprentices will all be devoured by earth fire. The entire mountain will turn to ashes, and the disciples will perish. My Hu family's great grudge will thus be avenged."

Seeing Lin Xuan's face clearly, Hu Elder was taken aback. This young master wasn't supposed to be at the Nine Dragons Mountain participating in the assembly with True Immortal Tongyu. How did he end up here?
Though confused, he didn't waste his time pondering further. As long as it wasn't Dugu Old Monster, that would do.
He had no intention of fighting here. He wondered if Fairy Peacock had dealt with the Naga. After all, his purpose for coming here was not praiseworthy. It would be better to resolve this quickly and leave.
With that thought, Lin Xuan was about to use other means when he noticed the plump cultivator had vanished without a trace.
Was it concealment or stealth?
But showing off before him was like playing in front of an expert. Lin Xuan's thoughts flickered as Mo'er quietly flew out from his sleeve.
The little girl excelled at stealth and assassination techniques, so she would deal with the blind fellow.
One cannot judge a book by its cover. Despite his plump appearance, this cultivator's cultivation was far inferior to his elder brother. However, he had practiced an ancient secret technique of invisibility. Even peak condensation core cultivators might find it hard to detect him if they weren't focused.
Seeing Lin Xuan and his elder brother fighting so intensely that he couldn't intervene, the plump cultivator began to use his skills, hiding nearby and waiting for a chance to ambush.
However, although Lin Xuan was fiercely battling Hu Elder, he managed with ease. Although he couldn't focus on finding the plump cultivator's whereabouts, he guessed his intentions accurately.
With a flick of his sleeves, Lin Xuan released the Snowfall Sword from his robes.
The sword emitted a brilliant light, splitting into dozens of streaks that whirled around like blue serpents, lunging at Hu Elder with fierce intent.
The sight was impressive. Hu Elder couldn't help but exclaim, "This young master has indeed made a name for himself. It's not just luck and flattery."
But his face remained calm as he snapped his fingers, summoning a yellowish cloth-like object from his storage pouch.
With both hands, he cast an odd hand seal and exhaled a breath of essence energy onto it. The cloth swelled with the wind, quickly transforming into a sturdy wall.
Puff, puff, the sword streaks struck the wall, causing it to tremble and dust to fly. Several feet-deep scratches appeared on its surface.
Lin Xuan hummed. This treasure's defensive power was commendable, but did he really think this could block his attacks?
Just as he was about to command his talismans for a full assault, the wall's surface suddenly emitted glaring yellow light, and the scratches vanished at an alarming rate. The treasure actually had self-repair capabilities.
Lin Xuan raised his eyebrows in surprise. This was indeed unexpected, but considering Hu's cunning nature, it wasn't surprising that he possessed such a technique to gain the sect's recognition.
Lin Xuan didn't have time to engage him here. He wondered if Fairy Peacock had dealt with the Naga. After all, his purpose for coming here wasn't praiseworthy. It would be better to resolve this quickly and leave.
With that thought, Lin Xuan was about to use other means when he noticed the plump cultivator's absence.
