lín xuān shén sè yī dòng ， huǎn huǎn zhēng kāi shuāng móu ， zuǒ shǒu fān zhuǎn ， nà huǒ guāng biàn luò rù dào le zhǎng xīn lǐ miàn 。
林轩神色一动，缓缓睁开双眸，左手翻转，那火光便落入到了掌心里面。
Lin Xuan's expression changed as he slowly opened his eyes. With a flick of his left hand, the flame light fell into his palm.
shén shí chén rù ……，……， piàn kè hòu ， lín xuān wǔ zhǐ wēi yī yòng lì ， huǒ guāng dùn shí xī miè dé wú yǐng wú zōng 。
神识沉入……，……，片刻后，林轩五指微一用力，火光顿时熄灭得无影无踪。
His spiritual awareness sank in... and after a moment, Lin Xuan slightly tightened his fingers, extinguishing the flame instantly.
“ zhōng yú dào le 。”
“终于到了。”
"Finally here."
lín xuān nán nán dī yǔ le … jù ， hún shēn qīng máng dà qǐ ， huà wèi yī dào jīng hóng ， chū le huà chuán ， xiàng shān dǐng de yī chù liáng tíng ér qù 。
林轩喃喃低语了…句，浑身青芒大起，化为一道惊虹，出了画船，像山顶的一处凉亭而去。
He murmured softly to himself. A green glow enveloped him as he transformed into a streak of lightning, leaving the boat and heading towards an observation pavilion on the mountain top.
liáng tíng bù dà ， zào xíng què pǒ wèi yōu yǎ ， lǐ miàn yǒu … nán yī nǚ ， zhèng mǎn miàn chūn fēng de tán xiào zhe shén me 。
凉亭不大，造型却颇为优雅，里面有…男一女，正满面春风的谈笑着什么。
The pavilion was small but elegantly designed. Inside, there were two figures chatting happily.
“ shì tā ？”
“是他？”
"Is it him?"
lín xuān liǎn shàng lù chū yī sī yì wài zhī sè ， bù guò hěn kuài yòu xiāo nì dé wú yǐng wú zōng 。
林轩脸上露出一丝意外之色，不过很快又消匿得无影无踪。
Lin Xuan's face showed a hint of surprise, quickly fading away. As they say, enemies make strange bedfellows. Lin Xuan had not expected to meet White Deer Immortal Child again at this place.
sú huà shuō ， bú shì yuān jiā bù jù yòu ， lín xuān yě méi xiǎng dào ， huì zài cǐ dì ， zài cì yǔ bái lù tóng zi xiāng féng 。
俗话说，不是冤家不聚又，林轩也没想到，会在此地，再次与白鹿童子相逢。
According to what he heard, the woman was an elder from Ann Ling Sect, known for her upright character. However, by the way she and Black Mamba Lady were talking so amiably, it seemed they had a deep bond.
tīng shuō zhè jiā fú shì xuān líng zōng zhǎng lǎo ， wéi rén yě hái suàn zhèng pài ， kě kàn tā yǔ hēi mǎng fū rén yán tán shèn huān ， liǎng rén xiǎn rán jiāo qíng fěi qiǎn 。
听说这家伏是宣灵宗长老，为人也还算正派，可看他与黑蟒夫人言谈甚欢，两人显然交情匪浅。
But that wasn't strange; cultivators are often cold-hearted and disregard right and wrong. Their actions are driven solely by profit.
bù guò zhè yě méi shén me hào qí guài ， xiū xiān zhě guǎ qíng báo yì ， shì fēi shàn è gèng bù fàng zài yǎn lǐ 。
不过这也没什么好奇怪，修仙者寡情薄意，是非善恶更不放在眼里。
After landing his遁光 (flying light), Lin Xuan naturally pretended not to know them as he greeted the two middle-stage元婴期 (baby spirit stage) elders formally.
suǒ zuò suǒ wéi ， jiē tú yí gè “ lì ” zì 。
所作所为，皆图一个“利”字。
The Black Mamba Lady smiled warmly, as if no unpleasantness had ever occurred between them. She gestured with a hand in the air, "Friend Daoist, you needn't be so polite. Come, I'll introduce you to an esteemed person. This is the Supreme Elder of Ann Ling Sect, White Deer Venerable."
là xià dùn guāng yǐ hòu ， lín xuān zì rán shì zhuāng zuò bù rèn shí ， yǔ liǎng wèi yuán yīng qī lǎo guài jiàn lǐ 。
落下遁光以后，林轩自然是装作不认识，与两位元婴期老怪见礼。
"Metreetings, Senior!"
hēi mǎng fū rén xiào róng mǎn miàn ， jiù fǎng fú hé lín xuān zhī jiān ， cóng wèi fā shēng guò bù yú kuài yì bān ， tái shǒu xū fú ，“ lín dào yǒu wú xū kè qì ， lái ， qiè shēn wèi nǐ yǐn jiàn yī wèi gāo rén ， zhè wèi shì xuān líng zōng de tài shàng zhǎng lǎo ， bái lù zūn zhě 。”
黑蟒夫人笑容满面，就仿佛和林轩之间，从未发生过不愉快一般，抬手虚扶，“林道友无需客气，来，妾身为你引荐一位高人，这位是宣灵宗的太上长老，白鹿尊者。”
Lin Xuan bowed deeply, adopting a look of utmost reverence. It was a normal reaction; middle-stage baby spirit cultivators are rare for ordinary condensation core cultivators.
“ jiàn guò qián bèi ！”
“见过前辈！”
White Deer Immortal Child nodded, his expression indifferent, revealing nothing about what he was thinking.
lín xuān wān yāo ， shēn shēn shī le … lǐ ， zhuāng chū yī fù chéng huáng chéng kǒng de biǎo qíng ， zhè yě shì zhèng cháng fǎn yìng ， bì jìng yuán yīng zhōng qī de lǎo guài wù ， xún cháng níng dān qī xiū shì kě shì děng xián nán dé yī jiàn de 。
林轩弯腰，深深施了…礼，装出一副诚惶诚恐的表情，这也是正常反应，毕竟元婴中期的老怪物，寻常凝丹期修士可是等闲难得一见的。
Lin Xuan paid no mind. High-ranking cultivators often maintain their dignity, which is perfectly normal. He stood aside, feigning a slightly nervous demeanor.
bái lù tóng zi diǎn le diǎn tóu ， liǎn shàng biǎo qíng dàn mò ， sī háo kàn bù chū tā xīn zhōng zài xiǎng shén me 。
白鹿童子点了点头，脸上表情淡漠，丝毫看不出他心中在想什么。
Time passed slowly.
lín xuān bù yǐ wéi yì ， gāo jiē xiū shì duān duān jià zi shì zài zhèng cháng bù guò de shì ， tā zǒu dào yī biān ， shù shǒu ér lì ， zhuāng chū yī fù lüè yǒu xiē jǐn zhāng de yàng zi 。
林轩不以为意，高阶修士端端架子是再正常不过的事，他走到一边，束手而立，装出一副略有些紧张的样子。
It seemed not everyone had arrived yet, but as a cultivator, patience was in ample supply. After nearly half a day, the sky grew dark, and it looked like sunset. Suddenly, a large purple cloud drifted over from the horizon.
shí jiān màn màn liú shì 。
时间慢慢流逝。
The cloud was enormous—covering at least several dozen acres, almost completely enveloping Drifting Cloud Valley.
xiǎn rán rén hái méi yǒu dào qí ， bù guò shēn wèi xiū xiān zhě ， nài xīn zì rán yǒu de shì 。
显然人还没有到齐，不过身为修仙者，耐心自然有的是。
Demon aura surged!
zú zú guò le xiǎo bàn tiān de shí jiān ， tiān sè dōu yǐ yǒu xiē hūn àn ， yǎn kàn tài yáng kuài yào luò shān ， tū rán yī dà piàn zǐ sè de yún cǎi cóng tiān biān piāo le guò lái 。
足足过了小半天的时间，天色都已有些昏暗，眼看太阳快要落山，突然一大片紫色的云彩从天边飘了过来。
Not just Lin Xuan, but even White Deer Immortal Child's face changed, showing some surprise and anger. "Lady, what is this? Didn't you say there would be one more friend Daoist? Why has Kun Nan Old Demon replaced him?"
fàng yǎn wàng qù ， hǎo dà de … piàn ， qǐ mǎ yǒu shù shí mǔ fāng yuán ， jī hū jiāng xiǎo bàn gè lì mǎng gǔ ， quán dōu lǒng zhào zài le lǐ miàn 。
放眼望去，好大的…片，起码有数十亩方圆，几乎将小半个厉蟒谷，全都笼罩在了里面。
The mention of "Kun Nan Old Demon" made Lin Xuan's eyes narrow.
yāo qì tāo tiān ！
妖气滔天！
Today was full of coincidences; he hadn’t expected to encounter this old monster himself. A faint smile played on his lips as he recalled Ye Pin’er, a girl with an innate allure who had been one of the Five Demonic Cultivators but now lived in poverty and was bullied by a man named Jin.
bié shuō lín xuān ， biàn shì nà yuán yīng zhōng qī de bái lù tóng zi yě liǎn sè yī biàn ， yǒu xiē jīng nù de zhuǎn guò tóu lái ，“ fū rén ， zhè shì zěn me huí shì ， mí bú shì shuō ， hái yǒu yī rén shì hè dào yǒu ma ， zěn me huàn chéng le kūn nán lǎo mó ？”
别说林轩，便是那元婴中期的白鹿童子也脸色一变，有些惊怒的转过头来，“夫人，这是怎么回事，弥不是说，还有一人是贺道友吗，怎么换成了昆楠老魔？”
Her master seemed to be that so-called Kun Nan Old Patriarch.
“ kūn nán lǎo mó ” zhè zì yǎn yī luò rù lín xuān de ěr lǐ ， tā bù yóu de yǎn jīng yī mī 。
“昆楠老魔”这字眼一落入林轩的耳里，他不由得眼睛一眯。
Although Lin Xuan didn't care much, out of caution, he had inquired about Kun Nan's background. In short, he was a demon cultivator at the middle-stage baby spirit level with sinister and unpredictable abilities. What left the deepest impression on people was his vicious and cruel personality... While the cultivation world was full of bloodshed, conflicts were usually for profit. This old fellow took pleasure in killing and tormenting the weak.
jīn tiān hái zhēn shì yǒu tài duō de qiǎo hé ， méi xiǎng dào zhè ge lǎo guài wù zì yǐ jū rán yě yù jiàn le ， lín xuān zuǐ jiǎo biān lù chū yī sī zì cháo de xiào róng 。
今天还真是有太多的巧合，没想到这个老怪物自已居然也遇见了，林轩嘴角边露出一丝自嘲的笑容。
Not just low-grade cultivators, but even ordinary people wouldn't escape his wrath. His cruelty was so extreme that it bordered on ancient demons, causing shock among many.
bù yóu de xiǎng qǐ nà míng jiào yè píng ér de shào nǚ ， tiān shēng mèi gǔ ， běn shì wǔ dà yāo xiū zhī hòu ， rú jīn què jiā dào zhōng luò ， chéng wéi wú yī wú kào de sàn xiū ， bèi yī jīn xìng nán zi qī fù ， lín xuān chū shǒu miè le nà wú chǐ zhī tú 。
不由得想起那名叫叶瓶儿的少女，天生媚骨，本是五大妖修之后，如今却家道中落，成为无依无靠的散修，被一金姓男子欺负，林轩出手灭了那无耻之徒。
He was often called the first demon head of Demon Spirit Island, with fear from him surpassing even the transformed creatures.
duì fāng de shī fù hǎo xiàng jiù shì shén me gǒu pì kūn nán lǎo zǔ 。
对方的师傅好像就是什么狗屁昆楠老祖。
As they say, those who do evil will surely reap what they sow. Kun Nan Old Patriarch's unrestrained killing had also drawn some ire from various sects and families.
lín xuān suī rán bù zài hū ， dàn běn zhe xiǎo xīn jǐn shèn de xìng gé ， hái shì shāo shāo dǎ tīng le yī xià shí fāng lái lì de 。
林轩虽然不在乎，但本着小心谨慎的性格，还是稍稍打听了一下时方来历的。
About a hundred years ago, he went berserk and massacred an entire village of ordinary people, leaving countless corpses scattered everywhere. This incident finally became...
yòng yí gè cí gài kuò wú è bù zuò ！
用一个词概括无恶不作！
a fuse.
cǐ rén shì yuán yīng zhōng qī de xiū yāo zhě ， yī shēn xié gōng guǐ yì nán cè ， dàn zuì lìng rén yìn xiàng shēn kè de shì tā dǎi dú xiōng cán de xìng gé …… xiū xiān jiè suī rán duō xuè yǔ xīng fēng ， dàn zhēng dòu zǒng hái shì wèi yǒu lì kě tú ， rán ér zhè lǎo jiā huǒ ， zé chún cuì shì yǐ shì shā hé zhé mó ruò xiǎo wèi lè 。
此人是元婴中期的修妖者，一身邪功诡异难测，但最令人印象深刻的是他歹毒凶残的性格……修仙界虽然多血雨腥风，但争斗总还是为有利可图，然而这老家伙，则纯粹是以嗜杀和折磨弱小为乐。
In the eyes of these high-ranking cultivators, a few mortal lives might not matter much, but secular society was the foundation of the cultivation world. If all mortals were wiped out, it would be disastrous for the cultivation world...
bié shuō dī jiē xiū shì ， biàn shì fán rén ， tā yě bú huì fàng guò kǒu qí xiōng cán chéng dù ， jiǎn zhí yǒu rú yuǎn gǔ shí qī de yāo mó ， lìng rén bó rán biàn sè 。
别说低阶修士，便是凡人，他也不会放过口其凶残程度，简直有如远古时期的妖魔，令人勃然变色。
So Kun Nan Old Patriarch stirred up public anger and was besieged by numerous cultivators, including several middle-stage baby spirit experts.
hěn duō rén jiāng qí píng wèi yāo líng dǎo dì yī mó tóu ， duì yú tā de wèi jù ， shèn zhì chāo guò le huà xíng qī de yāo zú 。
很多人将其评为妖灵岛第一魔头，对于他的畏惧，甚至超过了化形期的妖族。
Everyone thought he was doomed to die, but his sinister abilities were indeed elusive and difficult to deal with. Though severely injured and nearly destroyed, he managed to escape from the siege.
sú huà shuō ， duō xíng bù yì bì zì bì ， kūn nán lǎo zǔ sì wú jì dàn de shā lù ， yě yǐn qǐ le yī xiē zōng mén jiā zú de bù mǎn 。
俗话说，多行不义必自毙，昆楠老祖肆无忌惮的杀戮，也引起了一些宗门家族的不满。
However, more astonishingly, this old demon didn't disappear; instead, dragging his crippled body, he launched a massive retaliation against the sects that had besieged him.
ér zài dà yuē bǎi nián zhī qián ， zhè lǎo mó kuáng xìng dà fā ， jiāng yī zuò fán rén de xiǎo zhèn xuè xǐ ， shī jī biàn dì ， yù hài de lǎo ruò fù rú ， zú yǒu shù wàn zhī duō ， ér zhè jiàn shì ， yě zhōng yú chéng wéi …
而在大约百年之前，这老魔狂性大发，将一座凡人的小镇血洗，尸积遍地，遇害的老弱妇孺，足有数万之多，而这件事，也终于成为…
It was said that he used some secret technique to temporarily suppress his injuries. Then, he targeted low-grade cultivators of those sects.
gè dǎo huǒ suǒ 。
个导火索。
In just three days, nearly a thousand灵动期 (baby spirit stage) and筑基期 (foundation establishing stage) cultivators were exterminated.
xiē xǔ fán rén de xìng mìng ， zài zhè xiē gāo gāo zài shàng de xiū xiān zhě yǎn zhōng ， huò xǔ bù suàn shén me ， dàn shì sú bì jìng shì xiū xiān jiè de jī chǔ ， rú guǒ jiāng fán rén tú chuō yī kōng ， shí yú xiū xiān jiè de wēi hài ， yě zì bù dài yán ……
些许凡人的性命，在这些高高在上的修仙者眼中，或许不算什么，但世俗毕竟是修仙界的基础，如果将凡人屠戳一空，时于修仙界的危害，也自不待言……
When the secret technique reached its limit and his injuries flared up, he had to sacrifice his crippled body and let the baby spirit escape alone... This incident caused significant losses for those sects. However, when the middle-stage baby spirit elders vented their anger, they also secretly marveled at him.
yú shì kūn nán lǎo zǔ fàn le zhòng nù ， bèi zhū duō xiū shì kùn gōng ， qí zhōng hái yǒu shù míng yuán yīng qī gāo shǒu 。
于是昆楠老祖犯了众怒，被诸多修士困攻，其中还有数名元婴期高手。
If he had properly treated his injuries without seeking revenge, his body wouldn't have collapsed. Knowing this outcome, why did he still...
yuán běn zhòng rén dōu yǐ wéi tā zài jié nán táo ， kě zhè lǎo mó suǒ xiū liàn de xié gōng ， què shí guǐ yì nán chán ， suī rán bèi dǎ dé zhòng shāng chuí sǐ ， lián qū tǐ yě chà … diǎn huǐ qù ， dàn zuì zhōng ， hái shì táo chū chóng wéi le 。
原本众人都以为他在劫难逃，可这老魔所修炼的邪功，确实诡异难缠，虽然被打得重伤垂死，连躯体也差…点毁去，但最终，还是逃出重围了。
a madman. The vengeful nature of White Deer Immortal Child was truly terrifying.
rán ér ， gèng bù kě sī yì de shì ， zhè lǎo mó bìng méi yǒu xiāo shēng nì jì ， zhǎo yí gè dì fāng hǎo hǎo yǎng shāng ， ér shì tuō zhe cán qū ， duì wéi gōng tā de zōng mén jiā zú zhǎn kāi dà guī mó de bào fù 。
然而，更不可思议的是，这老魔并没有销声匿迹，找一个地方好好养伤，而是拖着残躯，对围攻他的宗门家族展开大规模的报复。
Like a rabid dog, he would bite before dying.
jù shuō qí shǐ shī zhǎn le mǒu zhǒng mì shù ， jiāng shāng shì zàn shí yā zhì le xià qù ， rán hòu zhuān tiāo nà xiē zōng mén de dī jiē xiū shì xià shǒu 。
据说其使施展了某种秘术，将伤势暂时压制了下去，然后专挑那些宗门的低阶修士下手。
But those sects lacked such resolve and will to fight Kun Nan Old Demon to the death. They preferred calculating gains and losses, making it clearly a losing business.
duǎn duǎn de 3 tiān shí jiān ， jiù miè shā le jìn qiān míng de líng dòng qī yǔ zhù jī qī xiū xiān zhě 。
短短的3天时间，就灭杀了近千名的灵动期与筑基期修仙者。
So, more than two decades later, when Kun Nan Old Demon successfully possessed another body and regained his full power, these sects no longer organized any attacks on him. It was as if nothing had happened between them; they shook hands in peace.
zuì hòu ， mì shù dào le jí xiàn ， shāng shì fā zuò ， tā cái bù dé bù shě le cán qū ， dān dú ràng yuán yīng táo le chū qù …… zhè jiàn shì qíng ràng nà xiē zōng pài sǔn shī hěn dà ， rán ér nà xiē yuán yīng qī tài shàng zhǎng lǎo zài fā huǒ tóng shí ， xīn zhōng yě àn zì hài yì 。
最后，秘术到了极限，伤势发作，他才不得不舍了残躯，单独让元婴逃了出去……这件事情让那些宗派损失很大，然而那些元婴期太上长老在发火同时，心中也暗自骇异。
However, after this incident, although Kun Nan Old Demon remained cruel and bloodthirsty, he did show some restraint. In recent years, there were fewer reports of his actions against mortals.
duì fāng ruò shì hǎo hǎo yǎng shāng ， bù jìn xíng zhè sān tiān bào fù de huà ， yuán běn qū tǐ shì bú huì bēng kuì de ， kě tā míng zhī dào zhè zhǒng jié jú ， què yī rán “”
对方若是好好养伤，不进行这三天报复的话，原本躯体是不会崩溃的，可他明知道这种结局，却依然“”
As the first demon head of Demon Spirit Island, he was a lone wolf. It was surprising that Great Black Mamba had called him here; could there be any underlying issues between them?
fēng zi ， zhè jiā fú yá zì bì bào de xìng gé ， jiǎn zhí lìng rén bù hán ér lì 。
疯子，这家伏睚眦必报的性格，简直令人不寒而栗。
White Deer Immortal Child's face darkened with obvious displeasure. "Haha, Venerable needn't be angry. Lady didn't lie on purpose. It's just that Daoist He encountered an unforeseen misfortune, so I had to change my mind and bring in Kun Nan Daoist."
jiù xiàng yī tiáo fēng gǒu ， sǐ zhī qián ， yě yào hěn hěn de yǎo shàng shí fāng … kǒu 。
就像一条疯狗，死之前，也要狠狠的咬上时方…口。
"What? Daoist He is dead?" White Deer Immortal Child was shocked, his face showing disbelief.
ér nà xiē zōng pài kě méi yǒu zhè yàng de jué xīn yǔ yì zhì ， gǎn gēn kūn nán lǎo zǔ yú sǐ wǎng pò ， tā men gèng xǐ huān jì suàn lì yì dé shī ， zhè yàng yǔ duì fāng pīn míng xiǎn shì zhǐ péi bù zhuàn de shēng yì 。
而那些宗派可没有这样的决心与意志，敢跟昆楠老祖鱼死网破，他们更喜欢计算利益得失，这样与对方拼明显是只赔不赚的生意。
"Let's discuss this later. Regardless, Kun Nan Old Demon has arrived, and his cultivation level far exceeds that of Daoist He. With his help, the success rate of our mission will increase significantly. Is it that you are afraid of this old demon?" The Black Mamba Lady smiled lightly as she spoke.
Lin Xuan's expression changed as he slowly opened his eyes. With a flick of his left hand, the flame light fell into his palm.
His spiritual awareness sank in... and after a moment, Lin Xuan slightly tightened his fingers, extinguishing the flame instantly.
"Finally here."
He murmured softly to himself. A green glow enveloped him as he transformed into a streak of lightning, leaving the boat and heading towards an observation pavilion on the mountain top.
The pavilion was small but elegantly designed. Inside, there were two figures chatting happily.
"Is it him?"
Lin Xuan's face showed a hint of surprise, quickly fading away. As they say, enemies make strange bedfellows. Lin Xuan had not expected to meet White Deer Immortal Child again at this place.
