第饷老祖眉喜，皱，脸非隐现讥讽，伸出弃来一在脑袋这拍，一柄折扇被他祭了起来。
Old Patriarch Kun Nan's brows furrowed with a pleased expression. He flicked his wrist, and a broken fan appeared in his hand.
rú jīn jù lí bīng pò fēng hái yǒu shù qiān lǐ zhī yuǎn ， wǔ xíng zhī wù bìng méi yǒu shòu dào jìn gù ， suǒ yǐ fǎ bǎo yī jiù kě yǐ shǐ yòng de 。
如今距离冰魄峰还有数千里之远，五行之物并没有受到禁锢，所以法宝依旧可以使用的。
Several thousand miles still separated them from Ice Spirit Peak, and the Five Elements materials were not restrained. Therefore, the treasure artifacts could still be used.
nà zhé shàn zhǎng yuē chǐ xǔ ， tōng tǐ wū hēi ， yǐ lín xuān jiàn shí zhī guǎng bó ， jìng rán yě wú fǎ kàn chū shì yòng shén me cái liào liàn zhì ér chéng de 。
那折扇长约尺许，通体乌黑，以林轩见识之广博，竟然也无法看出是用什么材料炼制而成的。
The fan was about a foot long, completely black. Even with Lin Xuan's extensive knowledge, he couldn't determine what material it was made of.
dàn xiǎn rán bú shì fán wù ！
但显然不是凡物！
But clearly, it wasn't an ordinary object!
“ jí ！”
“疾！”
"Quickly!" Old Patriarch Kun Nan pointed at him. The broken fan opened instantly, emitting dazzling light. A black whirlwind shot out upon a gentle wave.
kūn nán lǎo zǔ chōng qí yì diǎn zhǐ ， zhé shàn shuā de yī xià dǎ kāi ， guāng huá cì mù yào yǎn ， qīng qīng yī shàn ， yī dào hēi sè de xuán fēng cóng lǐ miàn fēi le chū lái 。
昆楠老祖冲其一点指，折扇刷的一下打开，光华刺目耀眼，轻轻一扇，一道黑色的旋风从里面飞了出来。
The first few ice bats in the front were hit head-on by the whirlwind. Their screams echoed as their flesh and blood were consumed by it. Lin Xuan frowned; this old monster's technique seemed to have some resemblance to the Ghost Dao's divine power.
fēi zài zuì qián miàn de jǐ zhī bīng biān fú shǒu dāng qí chōng ， yī tóu zhuàng rù le xuán fēng lǐ miàn 。
飞在最前面的几只冰蝙蝠首当其冲，一头撞入了旋风里面。
White Deer Taoist also showed concern, his expression more serious than before.
qī lì de cǎn jiào shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， nà jǐ zhī biān fú de xuè ròu jìng bèi xuán fēng gěi tūn shì le ， lín xuān méi tou yí zhòu ， zhè lǎo guài wù shǐ yòng de ， jìng yǒu jǐ fēn xiàng guǐ dào de shén tōng 。
凄厉的惨叫声传入耳朵，那几只蝙蝠的血肉竟被旋风给吞噬了，林轩眉头一皱，这老怪物使用的，竟有几分像鬼道的神通。
Old Patriarch Kun Nan's face lit up with excitement. He waved his hands, and a series of black whirlwinds emerged from the fan. In no time, dozens of beasts were slaughtered.
bái lù dǒng zi yě cí rán dòng róng ， kàn xiàng duì fāng de biǎo qíng gèng duō le jǐ fēn níng zhòng 。
白鹿董子也慈然动容，看像对方的表情更多了几分凝重。
"Haha, Fellow Daoist truly has great divine power." The Black Python Lady smiled slightly, her tone awkward as she spoke, seemingly stunned by the other's impressive abilities.
kūn nán lǎo zǔ de liǎn shàng què lù chū xīng fèn zhī sè ， shuāng shǒu yī qiā ， zhé shàn bù tíng huī dòng ， cóng lǐ miàn mào chū yī gǔ yòu yī gǔ de hēi sè xuán fēng ， bù xiāo piàn shā ， jiù jiāng jǐ shí zhǐ yāo shòu quán dōu tú chuō yī kōng shǒu jī zhàn zhěng lǐ 。
昆楠老祖的脸上却露出兴奋之色，双手一掐，折扇不停挥动，从里面冒出一股又一股的黑色旋风，不消片刹，就将几十只妖兽全都屠戳一空手机站整理。
"Just some trivial tricks." Old Patriarch Kun Nan waved his hand, and the broken fan returned to his palm.
“ hē hē ， dào yǒu guǒ rán hǎo shén tōng 。” hēi mǎng fū rén qiān le qiān zuǐ jiǎo ， yǒu xiē bù zì rán de kāi kǒu ， sì hū yě bèi duì fāng de jīng rén shǒu duàn gěi zhèn zhù 。
“呵呵，道友果然好神通。”黑蟒夫人牵了牵嘴角，有些不自然的开口，似乎也被对方的惊人手段给震住。
After this interlude, they continued on their journey. However, after flying for only twenty miles, Lin Xuan suddenly became alert, turning around to look behind him.
“ diāo chóng xiǎo jì bà le 。” kūn nán lǎo zǔ yī zhāo shǒu ， nà zhé shàn chóng xīn huí dào le tā de zhǎng zhōng 。
“雕虫小技罢了。”昆楠老祖一招手，那折扇重新回到了他的掌中。
"Daoist Fellow Lin, what's wrong?"
de chā qǔ guò hòu ， yī xíng rén jì xù gǎn lù ， rán ér fēi le jǐn jǐn èr shí yú lǐ ， lín xuān tū rán shén sè yī dòng ， huí guò tóu ， kàn le yī yǎn hòu miàn 。
的插曲过后，一行人继续赶路，然而飞了仅仅二十余里，林轩突然神色一动，回过头，看了一眼后面。
"It seems there are still beasts." Lin Xuan scratched his head, uncertainly speaking.
“ lín dào yǒu ， zěn me le ？”
“林道友，怎么了？”
"Oh?"
“ hǎo xiàng hái yǒu yāo shòu 。” lín xuān náo le náo tóu ， yǒu xiē bù què dìng de kāi kǒu 。
“好像还有妖兽。”林轩挠了挠头，有些不确定的开口。
The other old monsters stopped and released their divine senses, but found nothing. They all wore expressions of disbelief.
“ ó ？”
“哦？”
Although this young Lin was not bad, he was merely a condensation core stage cultivator. If they hadn't noticed anything amiss, how could he possibly sense any abnormalities?
jǐ gè lǎo guài wù tīng le ， yě bù yóu de tíng xià jiǎo bù ， fēn fēn jiāng shén shí fàng chū ， què yī wú suǒ huò ， liǎn shàng dōu lù chū bù yǐ wéi rán zhī sè 。
几个老怪物听了，也不由得停下脚步，纷纷将神识放出，却一无所获，脸上都露出不以为然之色。
"Boy, don't be overly suspicious. We haven't crossed Ice Spirit Peak yet. Even if we encounter transformed beasts, we have enough strength to deal with them. You shouldn't worry so much."
suī rán zhè xìng lín de xiǎo zi bù cuò ， dàn yě bù guò yī qū qū de níng dān qī xiū xiān zhě ， zì jǐ dōu méi yǒu fā xiàn rèn hé bù tuǒ ， tā yòu zěn me kě néng gǎn jué dé dào yǒu shén me yì cháng le 。
虽然这姓林的小子不错，但也不过一区区的凝丹期修仙者，自己都没有发现任何不妥，他又怎么可能感觉得到有什么异常了。
White Deer Taoist's expression turned displeased as a gray mist enveloped him, and he continued flying forward.
， xiǎo zi ， bù yòng yí shén yí guǐ ， rú jīn hái méi yǒu fān yuè bīng pò fēng ， jiù suàn pèng jiàn huà xíng qī yāo děng ， wǒ men yě yǒu zú gòu de shí lì duì fù ， nǐ jiù bú yào zài zhè lǐ kè rén tīng wén le 。”
，小子，不用疑神疑鬼，如今还没有翻越冰魄峰，就算碰见化形期妖等，我们也有足够的实力对付，你就不要在这里刻人听闻了。”
The other two old monsters shook their heads and flew away silently, clearly believing that Lin Xuan was overly nervous.
bái lù tóng zi de liǎn shàng lù chū bù yù zhī sè ， suí hòu bèi yī tuán huī qì bāo guǒ ， jì xù xiàng qián huì fēi qù le 。
白鹿童子的脸上露出不豫之色，随后被一团灰气包裹，继续向前会飞去了。
Seeing the others ignore him, Lin Xuan didn't show any signs of disappointment. Instead, he quietly reached into his waist pouch and tapped on it.
lìng wài liǎng gè lǎo guài wù yáo le yáo tóu ， tóng yàng yī yán bù fā de fēi zǒu ， xiǎn rán ， tā men rèn wéi lín xuān shì tài jǐn zhāng le 。
另外两个老怪物摇了摇头，同样一言不发的飞走，显然，他们认为林轩是太紧张了。
Silver light flashed, and a bee-like creature appeared before him.
kàn jiàn jǐ rén duì zì jǐ bù xiè yī gù ， lín xuān liǎn shàng què méi yǒu shén me ào nǎo zhī sè ， fǎn ér qiāo qiāo shēn chū shǒu lái ， zài yāo jiān de mǒu zhǐ kǒu dài shàng yī pāi 。
看见几人对自己不屑一顾，林轩脸上却没有什么懊恼之色，反而悄悄伸出手来，在腰间的某只口袋上一拍。
Lin Xuan's lips moved as he whispered a spell. He extended his right index finger, which began to glow after a moment. A thin green light emerged from the tip of his finger, circling Lin Xuan once before darting into the jade-robed bee's head.
yín guāng yī shǎn ， yī zhī mì fēng mú yàng de qí chóng jiù chū xiàn zài le tā de miàn qián 。
银光一闪，一只蜜蜂模样的奇虫就出现在了他的面前。
Lin Xuan stopped chanting and looked relieved. This was a secret technique; it was as if he had possessed the jade-robed bee. After completing everything, he transformed into a clear streak of light, speeding up to chase after the old monsters.
lín xuān zuǐ chún wēi dòng ， dī dī niàn sòng qǐ zhòu yǔ ， rán hòu shēn chū yòu shǒu shí zhǐ ， piàn shā hòu ， zhǐ jiān kāi shǐ fā liàng ， cóng gōng miàn piāo chū le yī gēn xì ruò yóu sī de lǜ sè guāng yǐng ， nà lǜ guāng lí kāi zhǐ jiān yǐ hòu ， yòu wéi zhe lín xuān rào le yī quān ， rán hòu “ sōu ， de yī shēng ， mò rù yù luó fēng de tóu bù 。
林轩嘴唇微动，低低念诵起咒语，然后伸出右手食指，片刹后，指尖开始发亮，从工面飘出了一根细若游丝的绿色光影，那绿光离开指尖以后，又围着林轩绕了一圈，然后“嗖，的一声，没入玉罗蜂的头部。
Meanwhile, the jade-robed bee flapped its wings silently and vanished in the thick snow.
lín xuān tíng zhǐ le niàn zhòu ， liǎn shàng de shén sè shèn shì xīn kǔ ， cǐ nǎi fēn shén mì shù ， jiù yǒu rú zì jǐ fù shēn yù luó fēng ， zuò hǎo zhè yī qiè ， tā cái huà wèi yī dào qīng hóng ， jiā kuài sù dù ， qù zhuī jǐ gè lǎo guài wù 。
林轩停止了念咒，脸上的神色甚是辛苦，此乃分神秘术，就有如自己附身玉罗蜂，做好这一切，他才化为一道清虹，加快速度，去追几个老怪物。
When everyone left, a cloud slowly drifted over from the distant horizon. From the outside, it looked like an ordinary white cloud, emitting no trace of demonic energy.
ér yù luó fēng zé zhèn chì yī shàn ， qiāo wú shēng xī de xiāo shī zài le màn tiān de dà xuě lǐ miàn 。
而玉罗蜂则振翅一扇，悄无声息的消失在了漫天的大雪里面。
However, when it dispersed, two humanoid figures were revealed inside.
dāng yī xíng rén quán dōu lí kāi ， yuǎn chù de tiān biān màn yōu yōu de piāo guò lái yī duǒ yún cǎi ， nà yún cóng biǎo miàn gōng kàn ， yǔ pǔ tōng de bái yún méi yǒu sī háo chā bié ， yě méi yǒu sàn fà chū yī sī bàn diǎn de yāo qì 。
当一行人全都离开，远处的天边慢悠悠的飘过来一朵云彩，那云从表面工看，与普通的白云没有丝毫差别，也没有散发出一丝半点的妖气。
The one on the left was exceptionally tall, almost three meters high, wearing rough cloth clothing. His face resembled that of a human, but his most striking feature was a long nose and two large, snow-white fangs that protruded from his mouth, each about a foot long.
rán ér sàn kāi yǐ hòu ， què fā xiàn yǒu liǎng gè rén xíng de guài wù cáng shēn qí zhōng 。
然而散开以后，却发现有两个人形的怪物藏身其中。
This appearance, while not definitively identifying him as any particular beast, suggested he had some relation to the ancient mammoth-like elephants of the primeval era. Generally, such creatures were incredibly strong in melee combat, rivaling dragons.
zuǒ cè de yí gè ， shēn cái gāo dà zhì jí ， zú zú jiē jìn le sān mǐ ， chuān zhe yī shēn cū bù má yī ， miàn róng yǔ rén lèi yǐ yǒu jiǔ fēn de xiāng sì ， rán ér yǐn rén zhǔ mù de shì ， tā yǒu yī tiáo cháng cháng de bí zi ， liǎng kē xuě bái de liáo yá fān chū zuǐ wài ， yě zú yǒu chǐ xǔ 。
左侧的一个，身材高大至极，足足接近了三米，穿着一身粗布麻衣，面容与人类已有九分的相似，然而引人瞩目的是，他有一条长长的鼻子，两颗雪白的獠牙翻出嘴外，也足有尺许。
The female on the right was more animalistic than human.
zhè fù xíng xiàng ， suī bù néng kěn dìng pāo shì shén me yāo zú ， dàn cóng xuè yuán lái shuō ， kěn dìng yǔ mán huāng shí qī de měng mā jù xiàng yǒu yí dìng de guān xì 。
这副形象，虽不能肯定抛是什么妖族，但从血缘来说，肯定与蛮荒时期的猛妈巨象有一定的关系。
Upon closer inspection, she was indeed alluring, with a slender waist and ample breasts, her skin as white as jade. She wore only a tight bodice that revealed her navel, making her look extremely bold. At first glance, one might think this woman, if not too ugly, would be an extraordinary beauty.
yì bān lái shuō ， zhè zhǒng guài wù lì quǎn wú qióng ， ruò shì ròu bó ， bǐ zhī jiāo lóng dōu bú huì xùn sè 。
一般来说，这种怪物力犬无穷，若是肉搏，比之蛟龙都不会逊色。
However, upon further inspection, the situation became awkward. Her body was human-like, but her head remained distinctly beastly. Such a combination in transformed beasts was rare.
ér xī páng biān de yāo zú ， zé shì yī nǚ zǐ è ， huò zhě shuō shì mǒu zhǒng cí xìng dòng wù hái yào gèng jiā xíng xiàng yī xiē 。
而牺旁边的妖族，则是一女子呃，或者说是某种雌性动物还要更加形象一些。
"Brother Elephant, while ice deserts and wastelands occasionally see humans, three old immortals of cloud essence appearing together is unusual. Could they have found something valuable here?" The female with the tiger head licked her lips, her eyes sparkling with intelligence. They were no less intelligent than humans, and this female had correctly guessed the key to the situation.
wú tā ， cǐ yāo ruò shì guāng kàn shēn cái ， què shí yòu rén zhì jí ， xì yāo fēng rǔ ， jī bái rú yù ， ér qiě jǐn jǐn chuān zhe tiē shēn de xiǎo yī ， lù chū xìng gǎn de dù qí ， dà dǎn wú bǐ zhè dì yī yǎn kàn hòu ， lì shā huì gěi rén yí gè gǎn jué ， jiù píng zhè shēn cái ， cǐ nǚ zhǐ yào bú shì tài chǒu ， jiù shì yī míng jué shì shì wù ， rán ér zài wǎng gōng kàn ， què ràng rén wú yǔ le 。
无他，此妖若是光看身材，确实诱人至极，细腰丰乳，肌白如玉，而且仅仅穿着贴身的小衣，露出性感的肚脐，大胆无比这第一眼看后，立刹会给人一个感觉，就凭这身材，此女只要不是太丑，就是一名绝世士物，然而再往工看，却让人无语了。
"Hmm, three cloud essence immortals are indeed different from ordinary beings. It's possible these guys stumbled upon a treasure without meaning to. However, we don't have time for their affairs now. The Snow Fox clan just gave birth to their princess, who has already sent out invitations. Don't say the Ice Spirit Wasteland; even transformed beasts in other regions are likely to come to congratulate them. There are rumors that the Poison Dragon King of Southern Border and the Eyeless Old Patriarch from the West might personally attend." What a Poison Dragon King or an Eyeless Old Patriarch, they were all late-stage great beasts. Would they really come? Although Snow Fox King is also late-stage, he only had one daughter. How could he mobilize such a large force?
bìng fēi zhǎng dé chǒu ， ér gēn běn jiù bú shì rén lèi de tóu ， yìng rù yǎn lián de shì yī huā wén bān bó de bào shǒu ， cǐ nǚ jìng shì yī bù zhī míng de bào yāo huà xíng ér chéng de 。
并非长得丑，而根本就不是人类的头，映入眼帘的是一花纹斑驳的豹首，此女竟是一不知名的豹妖化形而成的。
The tiger female couldn't help exclaiming in surprise.
zhǐ shì bù zhī wèi hé ， shēn cái yǔ rén lèi shì yì bān wú èr le ， nǎo dài què hái shì wán quán de yāo zú ， zhè zhǒng qíng kuàng zài huà xíng qī de yāo shòu zhōng yě bù duō 。
只是不知为何，身材与人类是一般无二了，脑袋却还是完全的妖族，这种情况在化形期的妖兽中也不多。
"Hmph, how would you know? The Snow Fox King has several children, but this little princess is different. It's said she was born with three tails."
“ xiàng xiōng ， bīng mò huāng yuán suī shuō yǒu shí yě huì jiàn dào rén lèi de xiū xiān zhě ， dàn sān wèi yuán yīng qī lǎo guài lián mèi ér zhì de qíng kuàng kě bù duō ， nán dào tā men shì zài zhè lǐ fā xiàn le shén me bǎo wù ？” nà bào shǒu de nǚ yāo tiǎn le tiǎn zuǐ jiǎo ， yǎn zhōng jīng guāng shǎn dòng ， cóng zhì lì lái shuō ， tā men bǐ rén lèi kě shì háo bù xùn sè ， cǐ yāo jìng rán yī kǒu jiù cāi dào shì qíng de guān jiàn le 。
“象兄，冰漠荒原虽说有时也会见到人类的修仙者，但三位元婴期老怪联袂而至的情况可不多，难道他们是在这里发现了什么宝物？”那豹首的女妖舔了舔嘴角，眼中精光闪动，从智力来说，他们比人类可是毫不逊色，此妖竟然一口就猜到事情的关键了。
"What?"
“ ń ， sān wèi yún yīng qī lǎo guài ， què shí yǒu xiē bù tóng píng fán ， dào zhēn yǒu kě néng shì zhè xiē jiā huo wú yì jiān fā xiàn le shén me bǎo wù ， bù guò rú jīn wǒ men kě méi yǒu shí jiān qù guǎn tā men de xián shì ， xuě hú yī zú gāng gāng dàn shēng le tā men de xiǎo gōng zhǔ ， yǐ jīng guǎng fā yāo yīng tiē ， bié shuō zhè de bīng pò huāng yuán ， tīng shuō biàn shì qí tā dì fāng de huà xíng qī tóng dào ， shí yǒu **， yě huì qián lái dào hè ， shèn zhì yǒu chuán yán ， nán jiāng de dú jiāo wáng ， hái yǒu xī fāng de bì yǎn lǎo zǔ ， dū huì qīn shēn qián lái 。” shén me dú jiāo wáng ， hái yǒu bì yǎn lǎo zǔ ， tā men kě dōu shì hòu qī de dà yāo shòu ， zhēn de yě huì lái ， xuě hú wáng suī rán yě shì hòu qī ， dàn tā bù guò shì shēng le yí gè nǚ ér ér yǐ ， zěn me kě néng rú cǐ láo shī dòng zhòng ” nà bào yāo rěn bú zhù tuō kǒu jīng hū 。
“嗯，三位云婴期老怪，确实有些不同平凡，倒真有可能是这些家伙无意间发现了什么宝物，不过如今我们可没有时间去管他们的闲事，雪狐一族刚刚诞生了他们的小公主，已经广发妖英帖，别说这的冰魄荒原，听说便是其他地方的化形期同道，十有**，也会前来道贺，甚至有传言，南疆的毒蛟王，还有西方的碧眼老祖，都会亲身前来。”什么毒蛟王，还有碧眼老祖，他们可都是后期的大妖兽，真的也会来，雪狐王虽然也是后期，但他不过是生了一个女儿而已，怎么可能如此劳师动众”那豹妖忍不住脱口惊呼。
The tiger female was stunned. It was well-known that the strength of foxes depended heavily on their number of tails—three-tailed demon foxes, six-tailed spirit foxes, and nine-tailed celestial fox.
“ hēng ， de zhī dào shén me ， xuě hú wáng de ér nǚ suī rán yǒu qī bā gè ， dàn zhè huí de xiǎo gōng zhǔ kě shì yǔ zhòng bù tóng jù shuō tā kě shì yī shēng xià lái ， jiù shì yōng yǒu sān wěi de 。”
“哼，的知道什么，雪狐王的儿女虽然有七八个，但这回的小公主可是与众不同据说她可是一生下来，就是拥有三尾的。”
A celestial fox was a creature from the heavenly realm, while in the spiritual realm, a six-tailed spirit fox was already a formidable king. As for the lower world, Snow Fox King, as a late-stage transformed beast, had just grown three tails.
“ shén me ？”
“什么？”
Of course, this didn't mean that the newborn princess had late-stage strength; three tails represented her cultivation potential.
bào yāo jīng dāi le ， zhòng suǒ zhōu zhī ， hú zú shí lì qiáng ruò ， nǎi shì yǔ wěi ba yǒu hěn dà de guān xì ， suǒ wèi sān wěi yāo hú ， liù wěi líng hú ， jiǔ wěi tiān hú 。
豹妖惊呆了，众所周知，狐族实力强弱，乃是与尾巴有很大的关系，所谓三尾妖狐，六尾灵狐，九尾天狐。
Just like cultivators with different spiritual roots, being born with three tails was far beyond a holy spirit root. It was said that in the spiritual realm, even a six-tailed spirit fox king was only born with three tails.
Old Patriarch Kun Nan's brows furrowed with a pleased expression. He flicked his wrist, and a broken fan appeared in his hand.
Several thousand miles still separated them from Ice Spirit Peak, and the Five Elements materials were not restrained. Therefore, the treasure artifacts could still be used.
The fan was about a foot long, completely black. Even with Lin Xuan's extensive knowledge, he couldn't determine what material it was made of.

"Just some trivial tricks." Old Patriarch Kun Nan waved his hand, and the broken fan returned to his palm.
After this interlude, they continued on their journey. However, after flying for only twenty miles, Lin Xuan suddenly became alert, turning around to look behind him.
"Daoist Fellow Lin, what's wrong?"
"It seems there are still beasts." Lin Xuan scratched his head, uncertainly speaking.
