bái guāng yī shǎn yī lín xuān jǐ cóng yuán dì xiāo shī bú jiàn 。
白光一闪一林轩己从原地消失不见。
A flash of white light, and Lin Xuan had vanished from his original spot.
xià yī kè ， tā chū xiàn zài le 。 céng de chuán sòng zhèn zhōng ， zhè lǐ de jiāo yì huì yī jiù jìn xíng dé rú huǒ rú tú ， yóu yú sān céng nǎi shì gǔ xiū shì yòng dà shén tōng kāi pì chū lái de dú lì kōng jiān ， gù ér suī rán fā shēng le jīng rén biàn gù ， wài miàn què méi yǒu rén dé zhī 。
下一刻，他出现在了。层的传送阵中，这里的交易会依旧进行得如火如荼，由于三层乃是古修士用大神通开辟出来的独立空间，故而虽然发生了惊人变故，外面却没有人得知。
In the next moment, he appeared in a level three teleportation array. The trading session was still bustling as usual here; since this third layer was an independent space created by ancient cultivators with great divine techniques, no one outside knew about the shocking incident that just occurred.
“ ó ， dào yǒu chū lái le 。”
“哦，道友出来了。”
"Ah, friend, you've come out."
kān shǒu chuán sòng zhèn de xiū shì kàn le yī yǎn lín xuān ， biǎo qíng píng dàn 。
看守传送阵的修士看了一眼林轩，表情平淡。
The cultivator guarding the teleportation array glanced at Lin Xuan, his expression indifferent.
lín xuān diǎn le diǎn tóu ， tū rán yī zhāng kǒu ， yī lǚ qīng sè de jiàn máng cóng zuǐ zhōng pēn tǔ ér chū 。
林轩点了点头，突然一张口，一缕青色的剑芒从嘴中喷吐而出。
Lin Xuan nodded. Suddenly, a streak of green swordlight shot out from his mouth.
“ nǐ yào zuò shén me ？”
“你要做什么？”
"What are you doing?"
nà xiū shì dà jīng ， cù bù jí fáng ， lián máng piāo shēn tuì hòu ， lín xuān liǎn shàng lù chū mǎn yì zhī sè ， xiù páo yī fú ， yī piàn qīng xiá cóng lǐ miàn fēi lüè ér chū 。
那修士大惊，猝不及防，连忙飘身退后，林轩脸上露出满意之色，袖袍一拂，一片青霞从里面飞掠而出。
The cultivator was alarmed and hastily retreated. A satisfied look appeared on Lin Xuan's face as he waved his sleeve, sending a patch of greenishsunset glow light flying out.
hōng lōng lóng shēng xiǎng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， qī bā zuò chuán sòng zhèn quán bù huǐ yú yí dàn le 。
轰隆隆声响传入耳朵，七八座传送阵全部毁于一旦了。
Rumbling sounds filled the air; seven or eight teleportation arrays were completely destroyed.
ér lín xuān gèng bù tíng liú ， huà wèi yī dào jīng hóng fēi xiàng dà diàn de lìng wài yī chù jiǎo luò 。
而林轩更不停留，化为一道惊虹飞向大殿的另外一处角落。
Lin Xuan didn't linger but transformed into a streak of startling light, heading to another corner of the grand hall.
nà ér de chuán sòng zhèn tōng wǎng yī céng 。
那儿的传送阵通往一层。
That corner led to level one. Several cultivators guarding there noticed the commotion and, in their anger, each activated their treasures. Some even sent out transmission talismans with quick hand gestures.
shǒu hù de jǐ míng xiū shì yě fā xiàn le biàn gù ， liàng nù zhī xià gè zì jì qǐ le zì jǐ de bǎo wù ， hái yǒu jī líng de yǐ jīng yáng shǒu fā chū le chuán yīn fú 。
守护的几名修士也发现了变故，谅怒之下各自祭起了自己的宝物，还有机灵的已经扬手发出了传音符。
Lin Xuan had no time to dally here. He extended his arm and slapped his waist, releasing a strange gray-white fog.
lín xuān kě méi yǒu shí jiān yǔ tā men zài zhè ér màn màn dān gē 。
林轩可没有时间与他们在这儿慢慢耽搁。
In the midst of the fog, an eerie humanoid figure could be vaguely seen. A terrifying aura descended from the sky.
shēn chū xū lái ， zài yāo jiān yī pāi ， yī dà piàn guǐ yì de huī bái sè wù qì chū xiàn 。
伸出吁来，在腰间一拍，一大片诡异的灰白色雾气出现。
A zombie monster, and it was at the stage of primordial spirit!
wù qì zhī zhōng ， yǐn yuē kě jiàn yī rén xíng de guài wù ， kě pà de líng yā cóng tiān ér jiàng le 。
雾气之中，隐约可见一人形的怪物，可怕的灵压从天而降了。
The faces of those cultivators showed disbelief as their bodies stiffened involuntarily.
shī mó ， ér qiě shì yuán yīng qī de ！
尸魔，而且是元婴期的！
At this level, such a creature wasn't something they could handle.
nà jǐ míng xiū shì liǎn shàng lù chū nán yǐ zhì xìn zhī sè ， shēn tǐ yě bù yóu de jiāng zhù 。
那几名修士脸上露出难以置信之色，身体也不由得僵住。
Lin Xuan had no interest in indiscriminate killing. Seeing that several people were now subdued, he ignored them and directly approached another teleportation array.
zhè zhǒng děng jiē de guài wù kě bú shì zì jǐ néng duì fù 。
这种等阶的怪物可不是自己能对付。
A spell was cast; after the white light dissipated, Lin Xuan vanished again.
lín xuān yě méi yǒu xìng qù làn shā wú gū ， jiàn jǐ rén yǐ bèi zhèn zhù ， biàn duì tā men shì ruò wú dǔ ， zhí jiē lái dào yī zuò chuán sòng zhèn shàng le 。
林轩也没有兴趣滥杀无辜，见几人已被镇住，便对他们视若无睹，直接来到一座传送阵上了。
"What happened? That person was clearly at the condensation core stage, how could they control a primordial spirit?" Several officials gathered together. A gray-haired old man with a shocked expression said, "I don't know, but this person came from level three. Could there have been some unforeseen incident that caused such a change?"
yī dào fǎ jué dǎ chū ， bái guāng guò hòu ， lín xuān zài cì cóng yuán dì xiāo shī le 。
一道法诀打出，白光过后，林轩再次从原地消失了。
A green-robed cultivator muttered, his gaze involuntarily drawn to the destroyed teleportation arrays.
“ zěn me huí shì ， gāng gāng nà rén míng míng shì níng dān qī xiū shì ， zěn me néng gòu cāo zòng yuán yīng qī liàn shī ？” jǐ míng shǒu hù chuán sòng zhèn de zhí shì jù zài yì qǐ ， yī míng tóu fà huī bái de lǎo zhě mǎn liǎn jīng jì 。
“怎么回事，刚刚那人明明是凝丹期修士，怎么能够操纵元婴期炼尸？”几名守护传送阵的执事聚在一起，一名头发灰白的老者满脸惊悸。
The others also showed signs of deep thought. The Immortal Mountain Conference had been passed down for tens of thousands of years and was renowned; it shouldn't be something anyone would dare disrupt. But what just happened...
“ bù qīng chǔ ， dàn cǐ rén shì cóng sān céng xià lái de ， ér qiě kàn qí jǔ dòng ， nán dào yuán … yīng jí de jiāo yì huì jìng chū le shén me biàn gù ？” yī shēn chuān lǜ páo de xiū shì nán nán kāi kǒu ， mù guāng bù yóu de xiàng bèi huǐ de chuán sòng zhèn wàng qù le 。
“不清楚，但此人是从三层下来的，而且看其举动，难道元…婴级的交易会竟出了什么变故？”一身穿绿袍的修士喃喃开口，目光不由得像被毁的传送阵望去了。
"Friend Crane, will we face any blame from above if we let this person escape?" A square-faced cultivator suddenly expressed some concern.
qí tā rén tīng le ， liǎn shàng yě lù chū ruò yǒu suǒ sī zhī sè ， àn lǐ shuō ， jiāo shān dà huì yǐ jīng zhuàn chéng le jǐ wàn nián ， wēi míng sù zhù ， yīng gāi bú huì yǒu shén me rén gǎn dǎo luàn de ， kě gāng gāng fā shēng de shì qíng ”
其他人听了，脸上也露出若有所思之色，按理说，郊山大会已经传承了几万年，威名素著，应该不会有什么人敢捣乱的，可刚刚发生的事情”
Everyone's gaze turned to a red-robed old man in the middle—late-stage condensation core, and he was one of the highest-ranking among them. The officials clearly looked up to him as their leader.
“ hè dào yǒu ， wǒ men zhè yàng yǎn zhēng zhēng de kàn zhe cǐ rén táo zǒu ， shàng miàn bú huì guài zuì xià lái ba ！” lìng yī sì fāng liǎn kǒng de xiū shì tū rán yǒu xiē dān xīn de kāi kǒu 。
“鹤道友，我们这样眼睁睁的看着此人逃走，上面不会怪罪下来吧！”另一四方脸孔的修士突然有些担心的开口。
"Probably not. Although this person is only at the condensation core stage, they can control primordial spirit zombies. Even if we all died fighting, it wouldn't stop him in the slightest. Above won't be unaware of this logic. Besides, I suspect he's a certain old primordial spirit who has hidden his true strength," the red-robed man stroked his beard and spoke slowly.
qí tā rén de mù guāng bù yóu de wàng xiàng le zhōng jiān yī shēn chuān hóng páo de lǎo tóu ， níng dān hòu qī ， tā yě shì zhòng rén zhōng xiū wèi zuì gāo de yí gè 。
其他人的目光不由得望向了中间一身穿红袍的老头，凝丹后期，他也是众人中修为最高的一个。
No one refuted him; instead, many nodded approvingly. After all, it was too strange for a condensation core cultivator to control a primordial spirit zombie. The other party must be feigning weakness.
jǐ míng zhí shì míng xiǎn yǐ tā wéi shǒu le 。
几名执事明显以他为首了。
"Friend Crane, what have you figured out?" the red-robed man asked his black-faced companion when he seemed lost in thought.
“ yīng gāi bú huì de ， cǐ rén suī rán jǐn shì níng dān qī ， dàn kě yǐ cāo zòng yuán yīng liàn shī ， wǒ děng jiù 」 suàn quán bù zhàn sǐ ， yě bù néng zǔ dǎng tā fēn háo ， shàng miàn bú huì bù míng bái zhè ge dào lǐ ， hé kuàng wǒ huái yí tā gēn běn jiù shì mǒu gè yuán yīng qī lǎo guài wù ， jiāng xiū wèi yǐn cáng le de 。” hóng páo lǎo zhě mō le mō hú xū ， huǎn huǎn kāi kǒu 。
“应该不会的，此人虽然仅是凝丹期，但可以操纵元婴炼尸，我等就」算全部战死，也不能阻挡他分毫，上面不会不明白这个道理，何况我怀疑他根本就是某个元婴期老怪物，将修为隐藏了的。”红袍老者摸了摸胡须，缓缓开口。
"A while ago, there was a rumor about someone," the black-faced man sighed and hesitated.
qí tā rén tīng le ， méi yí gè fǎn bó ， fǎn ér dà duō lù chū zàn sī zhī sè ， bì jìng níng dān qī xiū shì pěng zòng yuán yīng jí liàn shī tài gǔ guài le ， duì fāng shí yǒu ** shì bàn zhū chī hǔ 。
其他人听了，没一个反驳，反而大多露出赞司之色，毕竟凝丹期修士捧纵元婴级炼尸太古怪了，对方十有**是扮猪吃虎。
"Rumor? You mean..." the red-robed man recalled something.
“ nì dào yǒu ， nǐ xiǎng dào le shén me ？” jiàn shēn páng yī hēi liǎn xiū shì fā dāi ， hóng páo lǎo zhě rěn bú zhù kāi kǒu xún wèn le qǐ lái 。
“睨道友，你想到了什么？”见身旁一黑脸修士发呆，红袍老者忍不住开口询问了起来。
"Yes. Just before the conference began, a woman in red caused chaos at Immortal Mountain's entrance. With her astonishing mid-stage primordial spirit strength, she killed Old Monster Huang Wood right in front of three enforcers. Even with the combined efforts of Senior White Deer and two other mid-stage primordial spirit enforcers, they couldn't catch her," the black-faced man said grimly.
“ bù zhī zhū wèi hái jì de bù jiǔ qián de yí gè liú yán me ？” hēi liǎn xiū shì tàn le kǒu qì ， yù yán yòu zhǐ 。
“不知诸位还记得不久前的一个流言么？”黑脸修士叹了口气，欲言又止。
"Alright, let's put this discussion to rest for now. Regardless of what happened on level three or who that person is, it isn't something we can interfere with. We should wait until the senior primordial spirits arrive before making any decisions." The red-robed man suddenly cut in.
“ liú yán ， a ， nǐ shì shuō ” hóng páo lǎo zhě xiǎn jiù yě xiǎng qǐ shén me lái le 。
“流言，啊，你是说”红袍老者显就也想起什么来了。
The black-faced man was taken aback but quickly realized something and showed a fearful expression, closing his mouth immediately.
“ bù cuò ， jiù zài dà huì kāi shǐ yǐ qián ， yī míng hóng yī nǚ zǐ zài yìn shān mén kǒu dǎo luàn ， yǐ yuán yīng zhōng qī de jīng rén xiū wèi ， dāng zhe sān míng zhí fǎ shǐ de miàn ， jiāng huáng mù lǎo guài miè shā ， bái lù qián bèi děng sān wèi yuán yīng qī zhí fǎ shǐ hé lì ， zuì zhōng què yī jiù méi néng cǐ nǚ ná xià ， jù tǐ de qíng xíng suī méi yǒu rén qīng chǔ ， kě què yǒu liú yán shuō cǐ nǚ dé guò yī yuán yīng qī shī mó de bāng zhù ， hēi liǎn xiū shì biǎo qíng níng zhòng ， yīn cè cè de kāi kǒu 。
“不错，就在大会开始以前，一名红衣女子在印山门口捣乱，以元婴中期的惊人修为，当着三名执法使的面，将黄木老怪灭杀，白鹿前辈等三位元婴期执法使合力，最终却依旧没能此女拿下，具体的情形虽没有人清楚，可却有流言说此女得过一元婴期尸魔的帮助，黑脸修士表情凝重，阴测测的开口。
As for Lin Xuan, he had long left the Heavenly Cloud Plaza. The trading session on level one involved only foundation establishment cultivators; no one could stop him here.
“ hǎo le ， cǐ shì tǎo lùn dào cǐ wéi zhǐ ， bù guǎn sān céng de jiāo yì huì fā shēng le shén me biàn gù ， hái shì gāng gāng nà rén de shēn fèn shì shén me ， dōu bú shì wǒ děng kě yǐ chā shǒu de ， hái shì děng yuán yīng qī qián bèi lái le zài zuò dìng duó 。” hóng páo lǎo zhě tū rán yī bǎi duàn 。
“好了，此事讨论到此为止，不管三层的交易会发生了什么变故，还是刚刚那人的身份是什么，都不是我等可以插手的，还是等元婴期前辈来了再做定夺。”红袍老者突然一摆断。
Lin Xuan replicated the method, destroying the teleportation arrays. Although repairing such short-range arrays wasn't difficult, it still bought him some time.
hēi liǎn xiū shì yī dāi ， bù guò suí jí yě xiàng xiǎng qǐ le shén me ， liǎn shàng lù chū le jǐ fēn kǒng jù de shén sè ， lián máng bì kǒu bù yán 。
黑脸修士一呆，不过随即也像想起了什么，脸上露出了几分恐惧的神色，连忙闭口不言。
The trading session was in chaos! Various transmission talismans flew everywhere, and prohibitions were activated.
zài shuō lín xuān ， cǐ kè tā zǎo yǐ lí kāi le tiān yún guǎng chǎng ， yī céng de jiāo yì huì ， bù guò shì yī xiē zhù jī qī xiū shì ， zì rán gèng méi yǒu rén néng gòu jiāng qí zǔ dǎng 。
再说林轩，此刻他早已离开了天云广场，一层的交易会，不过是一些筑基期修士，自然更没有人能够将其阻挡。
Time was limited, so Lin Xuan didn't dally. He opened his full speed, heading towards Immortal Mountain's entrance. Before the news spread completely, he had to leave this place quickly; otherwise, when those old primordial spirits took action, he would face significant trouble.
lín xuān rú fǎ páo zhì ， jiāng chuán sòng zhèn huǐ qù 。
林轩如法炮制，将传送阵毁去。
Fortunately, the streets were filled with panicked cultivators running around like headless flies, so Lin Xuan wasn't noticed much.
suī rán zhè zhǒng duǎn jù lí de chuán sòng zhèn ， xiū fù qǐ lái yě méi yǒu shén me kùn nán ， dàn bù guǎn rú hé ， zǒng néng gěi zì jǐ zhēng qǔ dào yì diǎn shí jiān 。
虽然这种短距离的传送阵，修复起来也没有什么困难，但不管如何，总能给自己争取到一点时间。
Lin Xuan had removed his Heaven Demon Impersonation Technique and quietly restored his original appearance.
jiāo yì huì yǐ jīng dà luàn ！
交易会已经大乱！
Even so, the likelihood of being recognized was greatly reduced. He still planned to leave this sacred Immortal Mountain as soon as possible.
gè zhǒng chuán yīn fú màn tiān fēi wǔ ， jìn zhì yě fēn fēn kāi qǐ 。
各种传音符漫天飞舞，禁制也纷纷开启。
After about a cup of tea's time, Lin Xuan arrived at the exit. However, a light screen appeared before him.
shí jiān bù duō ， lín xuān zì rán bú huì dān gē ， dùn sù quán kāi ， chōng xiàng le yìn shān de rù kǒu ， chèn zhe xiāo xī méi yǒu wán quán chuán kāi ，… bì xū gǎn kuài lí kāi zhè shì fēi zhī dì ， fǒu zé děng nà xiē yuán yīng qī lǎo guài huǎn chū shǒu lái ， zì jǐ kě jiù huì yù dào dà má fán 。
时间不多，林轩自然不会耽搁，遁速全开，冲向了印山的入口，趁着消息没有完全传开，…必须赶快离开这是非之地，否则等那些元婴期老怪缓出手来，自己可就会遇到大麻烦。
In front of the screen stood several cultivators— one condensation core and the rest foundation establishment low-ranking disciples.
hǎo zài jiē dào tǔ dào chù shì shén sè jīng huāng ， rú méi tóu cāng yíng bān luàn cuàn de xiū shì ， tā dào yě bìng bù yǐn rén zhù yì 。
好在街道土到处是神色惊慌，如没头苍蝇般乱窜的修士，他倒也并不引人注意。
Seeing a streak of light heading their way, their expressions turned tense.
lín xuān yǐ chè qù tiān mó nǐ róng shù ， qiāo qiāo huī fù le běn lái de miàn mù 。
林轩已撤去天魔拟容术，悄悄恢复了本来的面目。
The light dimmed, revealing an ordinary-looking young man.
jǐn guǎn rú cǐ yī lái ， bèi rén rèn chū lái de kě néng xìng yǐ dà dà jiàng dī ， dàn tā hái shì zhǔn bèi jǐn kuài lí kāi zhè yìn shān shèng dì 。
尽管如此一来，被人认出来的可能性已大大降低，但他还是准备尽快离开这印山圣地。
Recognizing Lin Xuan's face, it wasn't the same as the one in the wanted transmission talisman. The cultivators breathed a sigh of relief but didn't immediately retrieve their treasures.
yuē yī zhǎn chá de gōng dà yǐ hòu ， lín xuān yǐ jīng lái dào le chū kǒu ， rán ér yī céng guāng mù què chū xiàn zài le yǎn lián zhōng 。
约一盏茶的功大以后，林轩已经来到了出口，然而一层光幕却出现在了眼帘中。
The leader was a middle-aged man with a serious demeanor and secretly used secret techniques to check that Lin Xuan's appearance hadn't been changed by illusion spells. He felt even more reassured.
guāng mù qián miàn ， hái zhàn zhe qī bā míng xiū xiān zhě ， yī míng níng dān qī ， qí tā de zé bù guò shì zhù jī qī de dī jiē dì zǐ 。
光幕前面，还站着七八名修仙者，一名凝丹期，其他的则不过是筑基期的低阶弟子。
He bowed: "Friend, how do you fare? Do you wish to leave?"
kàn jiàn yī lǚ dùn guāng fēi xiàng zhè biān ， tā men de biǎo qíng yě biàn dé jǐn zhāng qǐ lái 。
看见一缕遁光飞向这边，他们的表情也变得紧张起来。
"Indeed, can you be so kind as to let me pass?" Lin Xuan spoke calmly.
guāng huá shōu liǎn ， lù chū le yí miàn mào pǔ tōng de shào nián 。
光华收敛，露出了一面貌普通的少年。
"I'm sorry, we just received a decree that someone committed crimes during the trading session and escaped. We are currently searching for them. Before we find him, please stay here for a few days."
kàn qīng chǔ lín xuān de róng yán ， bìng fēi gāng zhōu chuán yīn fú suǒ tōng jí de nà ge ， zhòng xiū shì sōng le kǒu qì ， dàn bìng wèi lì kè jiāng jì chū de fǎ bǎo líng qì shōu qǐ 。
看清楚林轩的容颜，并非刚州传音符所通辑的那个，众修士松了口气，但并未立刻将祭出的法宝灵器收起。
"Can this be lenient? I indeed have urgent matters."
wéi shǒu de xiū shì shì yī wǔ shí yú suì de nán zi ， lǎo chéng chí zhòng ， hái qiāo qiāo yòng mì shù chá kàn le yī xià ， lín xuān de róng yán bìng méi yǒu yòng huàn shù biàn huà ， bù yóu de gèng jiā fàng xīn le a ！
为首的修士是一五十余岁的男子，老成持重，还悄悄用秘术查看了一下，林轩的容颜并没有用幻术变化，不由得更加放心了啊！
"I'm sorry, although your appearance is completely different from the one on the wanted transmission talisman, I dare not defy the decree," the cultivator shook his head, showing an iron-clad impartiality.
A flash of white light, and Lin Xuan had vanished from his original spot.
In the next moment, he appeared in a level three teleportation array. The trading session was still bustling as usual here; since this third layer was an independent space created by ancient cultivators with great divine techniques, no one outside knew about the shocking incident that just occurred.
"Ah, friend, you've come out."
The cultivator guarding the teleportation array glanced at Lin Xuan, his expression indifferent.
Lin Xuan nodded. Suddenly, a streak of green swordlight shot out from his mouth.
"What are you doing?"
The cultivator was alarmed and hastily retreated. A satisfied look appeared on Lin Xuan's face as he waved his sleeve, sending a patch of greenishsunset glow light flying out.
Rumbling sounds filled the air; seven or eight teleportation arrays were completely destroyed.
Lin Xuan didn't linger but transformed into a streak of startling light, heading to another corner of the grand hall.
That corner led to level one. Several cultivators guarding there noticed the commotion and, in their anger, each activated their treasures. Some even sent out transmission talismans with quick hand gestures.
Lin Xuan had no time to dally here. He extended his arm and slapped his waist, releasing a strange gray-white fog.
In the midst of the fog, an eerie humanoid figure could be vaguely seen. A terrifying aura descended from the sky.
A zombie monster, and it was at the stage of primordial spirit!
The faces of those cultivators showed disbelief as their bodies stiffened involuntarily.
At this level, such a creature wasn't something they could handle.
Lin Xuan had no interest in indiscriminate killing. Seeing that several people were now subdued, he ignored them and directly approached another teleportation array.
