嘴角法苦，但几个人自然也不会傻傻的站着，令旗挥舞，伴随着低沉的咒语声，一小片紫雾飞掠而出，半空中变为一丈许粗的蟒蛇，双眼做血红之色，狠狠的像那莲花咬去了。
Lin Xuan's lips curled into a bitter smile. But the few people present wouldn't be foolish enough to stand there idly. With a wave of his令旗, accompanied by a low incantation, a small patch of purple mist shot out and transformed mid-air into a snake about ten feet thick. Its eyes turned blood red as it fiercely bit at the lotus.
yuàn kē yǎn jīng yī mī ， zuǐ jiǎo fàn qǐ dàn dàn de xiào yì ， shēn shǒu yī zhǐ ， yī dào yī dào de líng guāng yǐ nà lián huā wèi zhōng xīn kuò sàn ér qù 。
媛珂眼睛一眯，嘴角泛起淡淡的笑意，伸手一指，一道一道的灵光以那莲花为中心扩散而去。
Yuanke's eyes narrowed slightly, a faint smile playing on her lips. She pointed with her hand, and beams of spirit light spread outward from the center of the lotus.
yǔ qí jiē chù ， mǎng shé de shuāng yǎn lù chū tòng chǔ zhī sè ， shēn tǐ yǒu rú jiāo yáng xià de bīng xuě ， jìng rán zhú jiàn kāi shǐ xiāo róng …···
与其接触，蟒蛇的双眼露出痛楚之色，身体有如骄阳下的冰雪，竟然逐渐开始消融…···
The snake's eyes showed signs of pain as its body began to melt like ice under the sun…
hǎo kě pà de shén tōng !
好可怕的神通!
What terrifying divine power!
bié shuō nà jǐ míng zǐ páo de níng dān qī xiū xiān zhě ， biàn shì lín xuān ， xīn zhōng yě bù yóu de àn àn zé shé ， duì zhè wèi xuě hú zú de dà gōng zhǔ ， gèng duō le yī sī jì dàn de niàn tou 。
别说那几名紫袍的凝丹期修仙者，便是林轩，心中也不由得暗暗咋舌，对这位雪狐族的大公主，更多了一丝忌惮的念头。
Even if it was those few Purple Robe Condensation Core cultivators, Lin Xuan couldn't help but feel a bit awed by this Snow Fox Clan’s princess.
jī bù kě shī ， shī bù zài lěi ， chèn zhe duì fāng bèi kùn zhù ， zì jǐ yào qiāo qiāo liū zǒu ， fǎn zhèng shēn shàng mǒ le huā de zhī yè yǐ hòu ， yǐ jīng jiāng xiǎo xuě hú de qì wèi yǎn gài diào le 。
机不可失，失不再耒，趁着对方被困住，自己要悄悄溜走，反正身上抹了花的汁液以后，已经将小雪狐的气味掩盖掉了。
Opportunity knocked but once; he had to take advantage of her being trapped and slip away quietly. After applying the flower's juice to his body, he had already masked his scent from Little Snow Fox.
lín xuān qiāo qiāo de huà wèi yī dào bù qǐ yǎn de huī bái sè jīng hóng ， huàng yōu yōu de lí kāi le 。
林轩悄悄的化为一道不起眼的灰白色惊虹，晃悠悠的离开了。
Lin Xuan transformed into an inconspicuous gray-white lightning streak and slowly left.
tā fēi dé hěn màn ， jǐn liàng jiāng shēn shàng de líng qì shōu liǎn ， yī lù shàng xiǎo xīn yì yì ， lín xuān kě bù xiǎng zài bèi bié rén xiàn zì jǐ de zōng jì 。
他飞得很慢，尽量将身上的灵气收敛，一路上小心翼翼，林轩可不想再被别人现自己的踪迹。
He flew very slowly, trying to conceal his spirit energy as much as possible. Lin Xuan didn't want anyone to spot him again.
“ shào yé ， nǐ shuō nà fèng wǔ jiǔ tiān jué ’ zài nǎ lǐ ？”
“少爷，你说那凤舞九天诀’在哪里？”
"Master, where's the Nine Heavens Phoenix Dance Art?"
“ zhè ge …… wǒ yě bù qīng chǔ 。”
“这个……我也不清楚。”
"I don’t know."
“ nà zěn me bàn ， nán dào wǒ men yào sōu biàn zhěng gè xuán fèng mén zǒng tán ？” yuè ér yǐ shǒu zhī é ， xiǎo liǎn shàng lù chū wéi nán zhī sè 。
“那怎么办，难道我们要搜遍整个玄凤门总坛？”月儿以手支额，小脸上露出为难之色。
"Well then, should we search the entire main hall of the Azure Phoenix Sect?" Yue'er supported her head with her hand and showed a look of difficulty on her face.
“ yūn ， nǎ yǒu nà me bèn de 。” lín xuān tīng le ， rěn bú zhù xiào le qǐ lái ， zhè yā tou hái zhēn shì shǎ dé kě ài ：“ xuán fèng mén nà me dà ， zhòng yào zhī dì kěn dìng hái bù yǒu zhèn fǎ ， xiǎng yào sōu biàn ， gēn běn jiù nán rú dēng tiān ……”
“晕，哪有那么笨的。”林轩听了，忍不住笑了起来，这丫头还真是傻得可爱：“玄凤门那么大，重要之地肯定还布有阵法，想要搜遍，根本就难如登天……”
"Ugh, that would be too dumb." Lin Xuan couldn't help but laugh. This girl was really cute when she was naive: "The Azure Phoenix Sect is so vast; important places must still have arrays set up. Searching the entire place would be as difficult as climbing a mountain."
“ shào yé ， nǐ zhè me shuō ， kěn dìng yǒu bié de bàn fǎ ， bié mài guān zi a !”
“少爷，你这么说，肯定有别的办法，别卖关子啊!”
"Master, you must have another way. Don’t keep us in suspense!"
“ hěn jiǎn dān ， zhuā yí gè rén ， shī yǐ sōu hún zhī fǎ 。” lín xuān dàn dàn de dào 。
“很简单，抓一个人，施以搜魂之法。”林轩淡淡的道。
"It’s simple—grab someone and use soul-searching techniques." Lin Xuan said calmly.
yuè ér diǎn diǎn tóu ， què shí shì hǎo zhǔ yì ， suī rán shāo xián cán rěn le xiē ， dàn chú cǐ yǐ wài ， què shí méi yǒu bié de fāng fǎ kě yǐ jiě kāi yǎn qián de wēi jú 。
月儿点点头，确实是好主意，虽然稍嫌残忍了些，但除此以外，确实没有别的方法可以解开眼前的危局。
Yue'er nodded, agreeing that it was indeed a good idea, though slightly cruel. There were no other methods to resolve the current crisis.
gāng xiǎng dào zhè lǐ ， lín xuān jiù guāng máng yī liǎn ， là le xià lái ， yǐn zài mǒu chù shí bì de hòu miàn 。
刚想到这里，林轩就光芒一敛，落了下来，隐在某处石壁的后面。
Just as he thought this, Lin Xuan's aura dimmed and he landed behind some stone walls.
shǎo qǐng ， yī míng xiū shì yìng rù yǎn lián ， cǐ rén chuān zhe xuán fèng mén fú shì ， rán ér shén sè huāng zhāng ， yī fù guǐ guǐ suì suì de yàng zi 。
少顷，一名修士映入眼帘，此人穿着玄凤门服侍，然而神色慌张，一副鬼鬼祟祟的样子。
After a while, a cultivator appeared in his line of sight. He wore Azure Phoenix Sect attire but looked nervous, acting suspiciously.
xiū wèi dào yě bù dī ， nǎi shì níng dān zhōng qī 。
修为倒也不低，乃是凝丹中期。
His cultivation wasn't low; he was at mid-Condensation Core stage.
tà pò tiě xié wú mì chù ， dé lái quán bù fèi gōng fu ， lín xuān xùn jiāng shén shí fàng chū ， fù jìn dōu zài méi yǒu bié de xiū yāo zhě ， lín xuān yǎn zhōng yǐn yǐn yǒu yì máng shǎn guò ， tái qǐ shǒu ， yī dào qīng máng fēi lüè ér chū 。
踏破铁鞋无觅处，得来全不费工夫，林轩迅将神识放出，附近都再没有别的修妖者，林轩眼中隐隐有异芒闪过，抬起手，一道青芒飞掠而出。
Finding the needle in the haystack, Lin Xuan quickly released his divine sense. There were no other cultivators nearby. Lin Xuan's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise as he raised his hand, and a green light shot out silently.
wú shēng wú xī de lái dào le cǐ rén de hòu miàn ， huà wèi yī bǐng jù jiàn ， rán ér chū hū lín xuān yì wài de shì ， nà rén jū rán huí guò le tóu lái ， cóng zuǐ zhōng pēn chū yī bǐng duǎn chā zhuàng de fǎ bǎo ， jiāng jù jiàn dàng le xià lái 。
无声无息的来到了此人的后面，化为一柄巨剑，然而出乎林轩意外的是，那人居然回过了头来，从嘴中喷出一柄短叉状的法宝，将巨剑档了下来。
He approached the man from behind, transforming into a giant sword. However, to Lin Xuan’s surprise, the person turned around, spitting out a short fork-shaped treasure that blocked the sword.
lín xuān biǎo qíng bù yóu de liú lù chū le jǐ fēn chà yì ， duì fāng rú cǐ jǔ zhòng ruò qīng de yàng zi ， kě bù xiàng shì pǔ tōng de níng dān qī xiū shì 。
林轩表情不由得流露出了几分诧异，对方如此举重若轻的样子，可不像是普通的凝丹期修士。
Lin Xuan's expression revealed some astonishment. The other party handled it so casually; he didn’t seem like an ordinary Condensation Core cultivator.
suí hòu lín xuān cóng tā shēn shàng gǎn jué dào le yī gǔ guǐ yì de qì xī 。
随后林轩从他身上感觉到了一股诡异的气息。
Then, Lin Xuan sensed an eerie aura from him.
jí wéi jīng chún de yāo lì !
极为精纯的妖力!
Extremely refined妖力!
zhòng suǒ zhōu zhī ， xiū yāo zhě suī rán shì mó fǎng yāo zú shén tōng ， dàn bì jìng shì rén lèi ， gù ér tǐ nèi chǎn shēng de shì yāo líng lì 。
众所周知，修妖者虽然是模仿妖族神通，但毕竟是人类，故而体内产生的是妖灵力。
It was well known that although cultivators imitated the powers of beasts, they were still humans and thus had妖灵力in their bodies.
tīng qǐ lái ， yǔ yāo lì jǐn yǒu yī zì zhī chà ， dàn qí shí shì wán quán bù tóng dì 。
听起来，与妖力仅有一字之差，但其实是完全不同地。
Although it sounded similar to妖力with just one character difference, it was fundamentally different.
“ hēng ， yuán lái mǒu gè huà xíng qī lǎo guài wù de fēn shén ， yù jiàn wǒ ， suàn nǐ dǎo méi le 。
“哼，原来某个化形期老怪物的分神，遇见我，算你倒霉了。
"Hmph. The spirit form old monster's fragment soul I met is unlucky."
lín xuān lěng hēng yī shēng ， zài bù liú shǒu ， bì huàn yōu huǒ fēi lüè ér chū ， huà wèi yī tóu lú dà xiǎo de huǒ qiú ， hōng lōng lóng de cháo zhe duì fāng zá xià 。
林轩冷哼一声，再不留手，碧幻幽火飞掠而出，化为一头颅大小的火球，轰隆隆的朝着对方砸下。
Lin Xuan coldly snorted, no longer holding back. A green illusory flame shot out and transformed into a fireball the size of his head, crashing down on him.
nà xiū shì jiàn le ， bù yóu de liǎn sè dà biàn ， hěn hěn de dèng le lín xuān yī yǎn ， jí wéi jīng chún de yāo lì cóng shēn shàng pēn bó chū lái ， huà wèi yī zhī mò hēi dà shǒu ， xiǎng yào tuō zhù huǒ qiú 。 bì huàn yōu huǒ de wēi lì fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， jiù suàn bǐ zhī dǐng jiē de fǎ bǎo yě sī bèi bù là xià fēng ，
那修士见了，不由得脸色大变，狠狠的瞪了林轩一眼，极为精纯的妖力从身上喷薄出来，化为一只墨黑大手，想要托住火球。碧幻幽火的威力非同小可，就算比之顶阶的法宝也丝惫不落下风，
The cultivator’s face turned pale as he glared at Lin Xuan. Extremely refined妖力spewed from his body, transforming into a large black hand to catch the fireball. The power of the green illusory flame was formidable; even compared to top-grade treasures, it wouldn’t be inferior.
yāo qì bù jǐn méi yǒu zǔ zhǐ huǒ qiú ， fǎn ér bèi xùn qīn shí ， diǎn rán le ……
妖气不仅没有阻止火球，反而被迅侵蚀，点燃了……
Not only did the妖气not stop the fireball, but it quickly eroded and ignited…
cǎn jiào shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， huǒ yàn hěn kuài jiù màn yán dào le nà xiū shì shēn shàng ， cǐ rén lì pōu yǔ zì shēn zài dào ， dàn cóng tā shēn shàng ， què fēi lüè chū yī lǚ hēi máng 。
惨叫声传入耳朵，火焰很快就蔓延到了那修士身上，此人立剖与自身载倒，但从他身上，却飞掠出一缕黑芒。
A scream filled his ears as the flames rapidly spread over him. He fell down from exhaustion, but a black ray shot out of his body.
xiǎng pǎo ？
想跑？
Trying to run?
lín xuān liǎn shàng liú lù chū yī sī lěng xiào ， zuǒ shǒu yī yáng ， fù xiān qiú fēi lüè ér chū ， dī liū liū xuán zhuǎn gè bù tíng ， wú shù yín sè sī xiàn jié chéng le yī zhāng dà wǎng ， jiāng duì fāng táo pǎo de fāng xiàng gěi fēng sǐ le 。
林轩脸上流露出一丝冷笑，左手一扬，缚仙球飞掠而出，滴溜溜旋转个不停，无数银色丝线结成了一张大网，将对方逃跑的方向给封死了。
Lin Xuan’s face showed a sneer. With his left hand, he cast a Binding Immortal Ball that spun endlessly, forming a net with countless silver threads, blocking all escape routes.
suí hòu lín xuān zài xū kōng yī zhuā ， fú xiàn chū le yī zhī qīng sè de jù zhǎo ， yī bǎ lāo xià ， jiāng nà hēi yǐng wò zài le zhǎng sǎn 。
随后林轩再虚空一抓，浮现出了一只青色的巨爪，一把捞下，将那黑影握在了掌伞。
Then, Lin Xuan grabbed the air and formed a green giant claw, which scooped up the black figure in its palm.
duì fāng pīn mìng zhēng zhá ， kě xī méi yǒu yòng chǔ ， lín xuān zhèng xiǎng yào duì qí shī yǐ sōu hún zhī shù ，“ pēng ” de yī shēng jù xiǎng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， jìng rán shì nà hēi yǐng zì bào le 。
对方拼命挣扎，可惜没有用处，林轩正想要对其施以搜魂之术，“嘭”的一声巨响传入耳朵，竟然是那黑影自爆了。
The opponent struggled desperately but to no avail. Just as Lin Xuan was about to use soul-searching techniques on him, a loud explosion filled his ears; it turned out that the black figure had self-destructed.
lín xuān yī dāi ， liǎn shàng de biǎo qíng bù yóu de fēi cháng nán kàn 。
林轩一呆，脸上的表情不由得非常难看。
Lin Xuan froze, his expression turning very unpleasant.
yǔ cǐ tóng shí ， jù lí cǐ dì yuē bǎi yú lǐ de mǒu zuò xiǎo shān ， shān yāo xià miàn ， yǒu yī chù yǐn mì dòng fǔ ， lǐ miàn yǐng yǐng chuò chuò de zhàn zhe bù shǎo yāo zú ， gòng yǒu bā rén zhī duō ， ér qiě yǒu liǎng rén shì huà xíng qī de 。
与此同时，距离此地约百余里的某座小山，山腰下面，有一处隐秘洞府，里面影影绰绰的站着不少妖族，共有八人之多，而且有两人是化形期的。
Meanwhile, approximately one hundred miles away, in a small mountain, at its waist, there was a hidden cave where several beast races stood. There were eight of them, and two were at the Spirit Formation stage.
tū rán ， yī zhī rén shēn hǔ tóu de guài wù chū yī shēng nù hǒu ， tòng kǔ de yǐ zhǎo bào tóu 。
突然，一只人身虎头的怪物出一声怒吼，痛苦的以爪抱头。
Suddenly, a tiger-headed human monster let out an angry roar, clutching his head with his claws.
“ wáng xiōng ， zěn me le ？” tā shēn páng ， yī hēi liǎn dà hàn mú yàng de yāo shòu guān xīn de kāi kǒu 。
“王兄，怎么了？”他身旁，一黑脸大汉模样的妖兽关心的开口。
"Brother Wang, what happened?" A dark-faced brute beside him asked concernedly.
“ wǒ de yī lǚ fēn hún bèi miè le 。” hǔ guài wù liǎn shàng mǎn shì tòng kǔ zhī sè ， è hěn hěn de shuō 。
“我的一缕分魂被灭了。”虎怪物脸上满是痛苦之色，恶狠狠的说。
"My fragment soul was destroyed." The tiger monster’s face showed pain as he said fiercely.
“ fēn hún bèi miè ， zěn me kě néng ， yǐ nǐ de shén tōng ， tì shēn yīng gāi bú huì bèi xuán fèng mén xiū shì xiàn de ， nán dào shì yù jiàn le yuán yīng qī lǎo guài wù ？” nà hēi liǎn dà hàn zuǐ wài zhǎng zhe liǎng kē jiān ruì de liáo yá ， bí zi yě shí fēn chǒu lòu ， kàn yàng zi ， qí běn tǐ ， yīng gāi shì yī yě zhū lèi xíng de guài wù 。
“分魂被灭，怎么可能，以你的神通，替身应该不会被玄凤门修士现的，难道是遇见了元婴期老怪物？”那黑脸大汉嘴外长着两颗尖锐的獠牙，鼻子也十分丑陋，看样子，其本体，应该是一野猪类型的怪物。
"A fragment soul being destroyed? How is that possible? With your power, the替身shouldn’t have been discovered by Azure Phoenix Sect cultivators. Could it be an old monster of the元婴stage?" The dark-faced brute had two sharp fangs and a very ugly nose; his true form should be some kind of wild boar.
“ shì de !” hǔ guài wù diǎn le diǎn tóu ， shēn shēn xī le kǒu qì ， jiāng fèn nù de xīn qíng shū lǐ ， yǎn móu zhī zhōng ， jiàn jiàn lù chū le jǐ fēn mí huò ：“ zhǐ shì nà jiā huo ， sì hū bù xiàng xuán fèng mén de xiū shì ， yǐn zài àn chù ， sì hū yě zài xún zhǎo shén me ……
“是的!”虎怪物点了点头，深深吸了口气，将愤怒的心情梳理，眼眸之中，渐渐露出了几分迷惑：“只是那家伙，似乎不像玄凤门的修士，隐在暗处，似乎也在寻找什么……
"Yes!" The tiger monster nodded. He took a deep breath, calming down his anger as he looked puzzled: "That guy seemed not to be an Azure Phoenix Sect cultivator. He was hiding in the shadows, searching for something…"
“ nǐ shì shuō ， duì fāng shì bié pài de lǎo guài wù ， yě xiǎng yào hún shuǐ mō yú ？” hēi liǎn dà hàn de biǎo qíng nán kàn wú bǐ ：“ duì fāng shì shén me mù dì ， nán dào chú le wǒ men ， hái yǒu rén duì nà yāo yǎn shě lì gǎn xìng qù ， huò zhě yǒu rén zǒu lòu le xiāo xī 。”
“你是说，对方是别派的老怪物，也想要浑水摸鱼？”黑脸大汉的表情难看无比：“对方是什么目的，难道除了我们，还有人对那妖眼舍利感兴趣，或者有人走漏了消息。”
"You mean the other sect’s old monster wanted to take advantage of the chaos?" The dark-faced brute's expression was extremely ugly: "What is their purpose? Could it be that someone else besides us has interest in the妖眼舍利, or did some information leak?"
“ hēi xiōng ， nǐ huái yí wǒ ， xiǎo dì kě yì zhí shǒu kǒu rú píng de 。” nà hǔ guài wù yǎn zhōng shǎn guò yī mǒ yì sè ， máng jí hǒu hǒu de tì zì jǐ fēn biàn qǐ lái le 。
“黑兄，你怀疑我，小弟可一直守口如瓶的。”那虎怪物眼中闪过一抹异色，忙急吼吼的替自己分辨起来了。
"Brother Hei, you doubt me; I have always kept my mouth shut," the tiger monster’s eyes flashed with a hint of suspicion as he hurriedly defended himself.
“ hē hē ， wáng xiōng hé chū cǐ yán ， nǐ wǒ xiāng jiāo wàn nián ， wǒ zěn me huì xìn bù guò nǐ ， zhǐ bù guò zhè yāo yǎn shě lì fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， nǎi shì yāo jiè shí dà bǎo wù zhī yī ， yǒu le gǔ jiù děng yú suí shí jiāng yī shàng pǐn de yāo mài dài cún shēn biān ， kě yǐ suí shí suí dì tí shēng xiū wèi ， bù lùn duì yú xiū yāo zhě ， hái shì wǒ děng yāo zú ， hǎo chù dōu bù yán ér yù ， ruò fēi rú cǐ ， nǐ wǒ yòu zěn me huì zài zhè lǐ huā fèi shù shí zài de gōng fu ， ràng yī lǚ fēn hún duì xiū shì jìn xíng duó shě ， rán hòu hùn rù xuán fèng mén ne ？”
“呵呵，王兄何出此言，你我相交万年，我怎么会信不过你，只不过这妖眼舍利非同小可，乃是妖界十大宝物之一，有了牯就等于随时将一上品的妖脉带存身边，可以随时随地提升修为，不论对于修妖者，还是我等妖族，好处都不言而喻，若非如此，你我又怎么会在这里花费数十载的功夫，让一缕分魂对修士进行夺舍，然后混入玄凤门呢？”
"Haha, Brother Wang, why would I say such a thing? We’ve known each other for ten thousand years. How could I not trust you? But this妖眼舍利is no trivial matter; it is one of the Ten Treasures of the Beast Realm. With it, we can carry an upper-grade妖脉at all times and boost our cultivation at any moment. It benefits both cultivators and us beast races. That’s why we spent decades here, using a fragment soul to steal bodies from cultivators and infiltrate the Azure Phoenix Sect."
“ bù cuò 。” hǔ guài wù yě diǎn le diǎn tóu ：“ zhǐ kě xī duì fāng jiāng zhè bǎo wù cáng . dé tài yán le ， wǒ men qióng mǐn shí nián zhī gōng ， yě méi yǒu xiàn suǒ ， hǎo zài zhè cì xuán fèng mén dà nàn ， wǒ liǎ dào kě yǐ hǎo hǎo de zhǎo xún yī fān ， zhǐ shì huà yòu shuō huí lái ， xuě hú zú xiǎo gōng zhǔ zhēn de zài gāi pài ma ， ruò shì nà yàng de huà wǒ men dào kě yǐ ……”
“不错。”虎怪物也点了点头：“只可惜对方将这宝物藏.得太严了，我们穷敏十年之功，也没有线索，好在这次玄凤门大难，我俩倒可以好好的找寻一番，只是话又说回来，雪狐族小公主真的在该派吗，若是那样的话我们倒可以……”
"Right." The tiger monster nodded: "Unfortunately, that treasure is too well hidden; despite ten years of effort, we have no leads. Fortunately, with the current crisis at the Azure Phoenix Sect, we can search thoroughly this time. But speaking of which, is Little Princess of the Snow Fox Clan really there? If so, we could…"
Lin Xuan's lips curled into a bitter smile. But the few people present wouldn't be foolish enough to stand there idly. With a wave of his令旗, accompanied by a low incantation, a small patch of purple mist shot out and transformed mid-air into a snake about ten feet thick. Its eyes turned blood red as it fiercely bit at the lotus.
"Hmph!"
Yuanke's eyes narrowed slightly, a faint smile playing on her lips. She pointed with her hand, and beams of spirit light spread outward from the center of the lotus.
The snake's eyes showed signs of pain as its body began to melt like ice under the sun…
What terrifying divine power!
Even if it was those few Purple Robe Condensation Core cultivators, Lin Xuan couldn't help but feel a bit awed by this Snow Fox Clan’s princess.
Opportunity knocked but once; he had to take advantage of her being trapped and slip away quietly. After applying the flower's juice to his body, he had already masked his scent from Little Snow Fox.
Lin Xuan transformed into an inconspicuous gray-white lightning streak and slowly left.
He flew very slowly, trying to conceal his spirit energy as much as possible. Lin Xuan didn't want anyone to spot him again.
"Master, where's the Nine Heavens Phoenix Dance Art?"

Fortunately, with the current crisis at the Azure Phoenix Sect, we can search thoroughly this time. But speaking of which, is Little Princess of the Snow Fox Clan really there? If so, we could…"
