duì fāng xiàn zì jǐ le ？
对方现自己了？
The opponent has discovered me?
lín xuān xīn zhōng mǎn shì tǎn tè ， suī shuō jiǔ tiān xuán gōng zhōng de liǎn qì shù xuán miào wú bǐ ， dàn yuán yīng hòu qī de dà xiū shì yě bù néng shì zhī yǐ cháng lǐ ， lín xuān bǐng qì níng xī ， shī zhǎn mì shù ， zàn shí lián xīn tiào ， xuè yè de liú dòng yě tíng zhǐ 。
林轩心中满是忐忑，虽说九天玄功中的敛气术玄妙无比，但元婴后期的大修士也不能视之以常理，林轩屏气凝息，施展秘术，暂时连心跳，血液的流动也停止。
Lin Xuan's heart was filled with apprehension. Although the Sealing Qi Technique from the Nine Heavens Profound Art was incredibly mysterious, even late-stage Great Daoists couldn't be taken for granted. Lin Xuan held his breath and focused intently, using a secret technique to temporarily stop his heartbeat and blood circulation.
yuè xián fēng de liǎn shàng lù chū yī sī yí huò ， nà jiǎo ruò de líng lì bō dòng xiāo shī le ， nán dào gāng gāng shì zì jǐ de cuò jué me ？
岳弦峰的脸上露出一丝疑惑，那徼弱的灵力波动消失了，难道刚刚是自己的错觉么？
Yue Xianfeng's face showed a hint of doubt as that weak spiritual energy fluctuation disappeared. Could it have been just an illusion?
tā méi shāo yī dòng ， shēn chū shǒu lěi ， rán ér jiù zài zhè shí ， yòu yǒu yī lián chuàn de bào liè shēng chuán rù ěr lǐ ， qí zhōng hái jiā zá yǒu xiū shì de jīng hū ， yuè xián fēng yǎn zhōng nù sè yī xiǎn ， shēn xíng zhēng huǎng ， huà wèi yī dào bái sè de dùn guāng ， xiāo shī zài le tiān biān de yuǎn fāng 。
他眉梢一动，伸出手耒，然而就在这时，又有一连串的爆裂声传入耳里，其中还夹杂有修士的惊呼，岳弦峰眼中怒色一显，身形徵晃，化为一道白色的遁光，消失在了天边的远方。
He raised an eyebrow and stretched out his hand, but at this moment, a series of explosions sounded in his ears, mixed with the cries of cultivators. Yue Xianfeng's expression turned angry, and he flashed into a streak of white light, vanishing on the horizon.
lín xuān yī jiù bù gǎn dòng hěn jiǔ ， cái “ hū ” de sōng le shā qì 。 hǎo xiǎn !
林轩依旧不敢动很久，才“呼”的松了砂气。好险!
Lin Xuan didn't dare to move for a long time before finally exhaling heavily. What a close call!
mǒ le mǒ é tóu shàng de hàn dī ， lín xuān màn màn cóng cáng shēn chù zǒu le chū lái ， kāi shǐ dǎ liàng qǐ yǎn qián de jǐng wù lái 。
抹了抹额头上的汗滴，林轩慢慢从藏身处走了出来，开始打量起眼前的景物来。
He wiped away the sweat from his forehead as he slowly emerged from his hiding spot, beginning to survey the surroundings.
zhè lǐ jiù shì xuán fèng mén zuì zhòng yào de jìn dì ， hán tán 。
这里就是玄凤门最重要的禁地，寒潭。
This was the core forbidden area of the Profound Phoenix Sect—the Cold Spring.
yāo mài zhuān yāo yǎn ， chuán shuō bǎi wàn nián qián ， xuán fèng xiān zi jiù shì zài cǐ chù xiū liàn 。
妖脉砖妖眼，传说百万年前，玄凤仙子就是在此处修炼。
Theyao pulseBrick with the Demon Eye. Legend had it that the Immortal Fairy Profound Phoenix practiced here a million years ago.
lín xuān jiāng shén shí fàng chū ， piàn kè yǐ hòu ， liǎn shàng què lù chū le gǔ guài zhī sè 。
林轩将神识放出，片刻以后，脸上却露出了古怪之色。
Lin Xuan released his divine sense, and after a moment, he showed an odd expression on his face.
tā jū rán méi yǒu gǎn dào jìn zhì bō dòng ， nán dào cǐ dì jū rán shì bù shè fáng de ？
他居然没有感到禁制波动，难道此地居然是不设防的？
He didn't feel any fluctuations from theprohibitive restraint. Could this place be unguarded?
lín xuān yáo le yáo tóu ， zhè xiǎn rán bù kě néng ， rán ér bù guǎn lín xuān zěn yàng sōu suǒ ， dōu méi yǒu shōu huò 。
林轩摇了摇头，这显然不可能，然而不管林轩怎样搜索，都没有收获。
Lin Xuan shook his head; this was impossible. Regardless of how he searched, there were no results.
kàn lái zhǐ hǎo zì jǐ xiǎo xīn yì diǎn le 。 xiǎng dào zhè lǐ ， lín xuān jiāng jiǔ tiān líng dùn jì chū ， xiǎo xīn yì yì de shì le jìn qù 。
看来只好自己小心一点了。想到这里，林轩将九天灵盾祭出，小心翼翼的是了进去。
It seemed he could only proceed with caution. With that thought, Lin Xuan summoned the Nine Heavens Spirit Shield and cautiously entered.
suǒ wèi de hán tán ， qí shí shì yī chù yōu shēn de xiá gǔ ， lǐ miàn yǒu yī mǔ xǔ dà de xiǎo táo ， zhōu wéi guài shí lín xún ， hái shēng zhǎng zhe bù shǎo shù mù 。
所谓的寒潭，其实是一处幽深的峡谷，里面有一亩许大的小淘，周围怪石嶙峋，还生长着不少树木。
The so-called Cold Spring was actually a deep ravine with a small pool about an acre in size. The surroundings were filled with rugged rocks and numerous trees.
lín xuān gāng gāng mài rù xiá gǔ zhī zhōng ， tū rán mò míng qí miào de gǎn jué yī zhèn xīn jì ， qú kǒu qì xuè fān yǒng ， fǎ lì yě zài jīng mài zhōng luàn cuàn qǐ lái le 。
林轩刚刚迈入峡谷之中，突然莫名其妙的感觉一阵心悸，朐口气血翻涌，法力也在经脉中乱窜起来了。
As soon as Lin Xuan stepped into the ravine, he suddenly felt a strange palpitation, his breath becoming uneven. His spiritual energy began to surge through his meridians.
zhè shì zěn me huí shì ？
这是怎么回事？
What was happening?
lín xuān bèi xià le yī tiào ， zhè zhǒng gǎn jué . míng míng shì diǎn jí zhōng jì zǎi de zǒu huǒ rù mó de xiān zhào 。
林轩被吓了一跳，这种感觉.明明是典籍中记载的走火入魔的先兆。
Lin Xuan was startled; this feeling was clearly a precursor to entering ademon realm.
zì jǐ cǐ kè míng míng yòu méi yǒu xiū liàn ， zěn me huì yǒu zhè zhǒng gǎn jué ， lín xuān dà jīng zhī xià ， lián máng dùn guāng yī zhuǎn ， cóng yōu gǔ zhōng tuì le chū lái 。
自己此刻明明又没有修炼，怎么会有这种感觉，林轩大惊之下，连忙遁光一转，从幽谷中退了出来。
He hadn't been cultivating at all, so why did he feel like this? Lin Xuan hurriedly retreated from the ravine as his spiritual energy fluctuated.
nà bù dòu de gǎn jué yě suí zhī xiāo shī bú jiàn 。
那不逗的感觉也随之消失不见。
The strange sensation disappeared. Lin Xuan's expression turned slightly grim as he pondered, "Moon, do you have any unusual feelings?"
lín xuān liǎn sè yǒu xiē nán kàn ， zhòu méi sī suǒ ：“ yuè ér ， nǐ yǒu méi yǒu bú duì jìn de gǎn jué ？”
林轩脸色有些难看，皱眉思索：“月儿，你有没有不对劲的感觉？”
"No," the girl shook her head.
méi yǒu 。 shào nǚ yáo le yáo tóu 。
没有。少女摇了摇头。
"Xiang'er, how about you?"
xiāng ér ， nǐ ne ?”
香儿，你呢?”
"I'm fine," the little fox yawned, speaking in a baby-like voice.
‘ wǒ hěn hǎo 。” xiǎo hú lí dǎ le yí gè hā qiàn ， nǎi shēng nǎi qì de dào 。
‘我很好。”小狐狸打了一个哈欠，奶声奶气的道。
This was odd. However, Lin Xuan recalled that from his soul-searching, only the Great Elder and a few special individuals could enter this Cold Spring freely; all other late-stageyuan embryocultivators were restricted.
zhè jiù yǒu xiē qí guài le ， bù guò lín xuān suí jí xiǎng qǐ ， cóng sōu hún dé lái de tīng xī ， shuō cǐ hán tán chú le dà zhǎng lǎo ， yǐ jí liáo liáo jǐ wèi tè shū rén wù ， jì shì qí yú de yuán yīng qī lǎo guài ， yě bù néng suí yì jìn rù ， kàn lěi shì yǒu yī xiē tè shū yuán yóu 。
这就有些奇怪了，不过林轩随即想起，从搜魂得来的汀息，说此寒潭除了大长老，以及寥寥几位特殊人物，伎是其余的元婴期老怪，也不能随意进入，看耒是有一些特殊缘由。
Of course, he didn't have time to delve into it now.
dāng rán le ， zì jǐ xiàn zài kě méi yǒu shí jiān màn màn tàn jiū 。
当然了，自己现在可没有时间慢慢探究。
After a moment's hesitation, Lin Xuan took a deep breath. A surge of abundant spiritual energy erupted from his body as he focused on the essence and slowly entered.
lüè yī chóu chú ， lín xuān shēn shēn xī le kǒu qì ， shēn shàng pēn bó chū yī gǔ chōng pèi de líng lì ， tóng shí bào yuán shǒu yī ， màn màn zǒu le jìn qù 。
略一踌躇，林轩深深吸了口气，身上喷薄出一股充沛的灵力，同时抱元守一，慢慢走了进去。
There was still a sense of restlessness, but it could be tolerated. Lin Xuan took out several pills from his pocket; these were usually cultivated to calm the mind. Finally, the strange sensation diminished.
yī jiù yǒu yī zhǒng xīn fú qì zào de gǎn jué ， bù guò miǎn qiǎng hái kě yǐ rěn shòu ， lín xuān yòu cóng huái zhōng qǔ chū le jǐ lì dān yào tūn fú ， zhè dōu shì píng shí liàn zhì de . jù yǒu qīng xīn jìng qì de xiào guǒ ， zhōng yú ， nà bù dòu de gǎn jué yuè lái yuè xiǎo le 。
依旧有一种心浮气躁的感觉，不过勉强还可以忍受，林轩又从怀中取出了几粒丹药吞服，这都是平时炼制的.具有清心静气的效果，终于，那不逗的感觉越来越小了。
Though it felt uncomfortable, there was no longer any danger.
suī rán bī lüè yǒu xiē bù shū fú ， dàn yǐ méi yǒu dà ài 。
虽然逼略有些不舒服，但已没有大碍。
Lin Xuan gradually approached the Cold Spring.
lín xuān yí bù yí bù jiē jìn le hán tán 。
林轩一步一步接近了寒潭。
Meanwhile, snowlight flashed, breaking through dense strands of energy. A purple-robed cultivator was split in two, causing the surrounding attacks to temporarily ease as others looked on with shock.
zài shuō wù yī biān 。
再说务一边。
Princess Yuanke remained spotless, surrounded by several crescent-shaped blade lights that slowly rotated around her. She didn't know what kind of treasure it was, but its power was evident.
xuě máng yī shǎn ， nóng mì yóu shù qì bèi pò kāi ， yī míng zǐ páo kù shì bèi pī wèi le liǎng bàn ， dùn shí ， zhōu wéi de gōng shì yī huǎn ， qí yú de rén mǎn liǎn jīng hài 。
雪芒一闪，浓密由束气被破开，一名紫袍绔士被劈为了两半，顿时，周围的攻势一缓，其余的人满脸惊骇。
The five purple-robed cultivators were unexpectedly tenacious. Seven of them worked together well and used strange banners to set up an array, making their combined strength comparable to ordinary late-stageyuan embryocultivators. Yuanke barely managed to avoid a hit, but in the end, she finally killed the elderly man named Li.
yuàn kē gōng zhǔ xiān chén bù rǎn ， zhōu wéi ， jǐ dào yuè yá xíng de dāo guāng wéi zhe tā huǎn huǎn xuán zhuǎn ， yě bù zhī dào jiū jìng shì shén me bǎo wù ， dàn wēi lì xiǎn rán shì bù xiǎo de 。
媛珂公主纤尘不染，周围，几道月牙形的刀光围着她缓缓旋转，也不知道究竟是什么宝物，但威力显然是不小的。
Seven was essential; with the array broken, the remaining four cultivators were alarmed and scattered.
shuō qǐ lái . nà jǐ míng zǐ páo xiū shì de nán chán yě dà chū tā yì wài ， qī rén shàn cháng pèi hé ， yòng nà gǔ guài lìng qí bù zhèn yǐ hòu wēi lì jìng bù xùn yú pǔ tōng de yuán yīng chū qī xiū xiān zhě ， cù bù jí fáng zhī xià ， yuàn kē nì chà diǎn chī le xiǎo hào ， dàn zuì hòu ， zhōng yú hái shì zhǎn shā le nà míng wèi de lǎo zhě 。
说起来.那几名紫袍修士的难缠也大出她意外，七人擅长配合，用那古怪令旗布阵以后威力竟不逊于普通的元婴初期修仙者，猝不及防之下，媛珂逆差点吃了小号，但最后，终于还是斩杀了那名为的老者。
"Hmph, thinking of running away? That's not so easy."
qī rén quē yī bù kě ， rú jīn zhèn fǎ yǐ jīng bèi pò ， lìng wài jǐ míng lí yǔ sè xiū shì dà jīng shī sè ， tā men yě bú shì bái chī ， lián máng sì sàn ér táo le 。
七人缺一不可，如今阵法已经被破，另外几名梨与色修士大惊失色，他们也不是白痴，连忙四散而逃了。
Yuanke pointed at one of the crescent-shaped blade lights and her figure flickered as she chased after it. Blood splattered everywhere as this beautiful demon cultivator was both attractive and ruthless, killing five more in short order. The originally late-stage condensation core cultivator wasn't weak either; he couldn't withstand three strikes from her.
‘ hēng ， xiǎng pǎo ， nǎ yǒu nà me róng yì 。
‘哼，想跑，哪有那么容易。
A single flash of the blade split his treasure weapon into two halves, turning him into an easy target. In just half a cup of tea time, only one survivor remained—a short figure who clearly excelled in evasion and was familiar with the terrain, so he hadn't fallen yet.
yuàn kē chōng zhe shēn qián de yuè yá xíng dāo guāng yì diǎn zhǐ ， tóng shēn shào jǐ yě shēn xíng yī huǎng ， cóng hòu zhuī shàng yī yī ， yī yī yī
媛珂冲着身前的月牙形刀光一点指，同砷哨己也身形一晃，从后追上一一，一一一
However, Yuanke wasn't willing to let this happen. It wasn't that she enjoyed killing; it was to prevent him from rallying allies after returning!
xuè huā bèng jiàn ， zhè wèi měi nǚ yāo xiū jiāo yàn rú huā ， xià shǒu què shí fēn hěn là ， hěn kuài jiù yòu yǒu wǔ rén bèi zhǎn shā ， yuán běn níng dān hòu qī de xiū shì yě bú shì ruǎn shì zi ， rán ér zài tā shǒu xià jū rán bú shì liǎng hé zhī dí 。
血花迸溅，这位美女妖修娇艳如花，下手却十分狠辣，很快就又有五人被斩杀，原本凝丹后期的修士也不是软柿子，然而在她手下居然不是两合之敌。
She wanted to kill him decisively.
dāo guāng yī shǎn ， jiù néng jiāng duì fāng de fǎ bǎo pī wèi liǎng bàn ， shī qù bǎo ： wù yǐ hòu ， duì fāng zì rán jiù biàn chéng dài zǎi gāo yáng le 。
刀光一闪，就能将对方的法宝劈为两半，失去宝：物以后，对方自然就变成待宰羔羊了。
Seeing her relentless pursuit, the sole remaining purple-robed cultivator turned red with fear and ran towards the southern bamboo grove without a clear path.
jǐn jǐn bàn zhǎn chá shí jiān ， jiù zhǐ shèng xià yī míng xìng cún zhě ， zhè wèi shēn cái ǎi xiǎo de jiā huo míng xiǎn shàn cháng dùn shù ， jiā shàng yòu dì xíng hěn shú ， suǒ yǐ zàn shí hái méi yǒu yǔn luò 。
仅仅半盏茶时间，就只剩下一名幸存者，这位身材矮小的家伙明显擅长遁术，加上又地形很熟，所以暂时还没有陨落。
The bamboo in the grove was peculiar—purple. A breeze blew, causing a rustling sound that sounded like ghostly wails from afar.
rán ér yuàn kē zì rán bù yuàn yì fú qí fàng guò ， dào bìng fēi cǐ nǚ yǒu duō me shì shā ， ér shì hài pà duì fāng huí qù yǐ hòu zài jiū jié bāng shǒu cān èr !
然而媛珂自然不愿意符其放过，倒并非此女有多么嗜杀，而是害怕对方回去以后再纠结帮手餐二!
This purple bamboo grove was also a forbidden area of their sect, strictly off-limits to ordinary disciples. But for survival's sake, this fellow didn't care about the rules anymore.
suǒ yǐ xīn xiǎng yào jiāng qí zhé shā 。
所以心想要将其折杀。
Princess Snowfox naturally had no idea and chased in without hesitation.
kàn jiàn cǐ nǚ qióng zhuī bù shě ， nà míng shuò guǒ jǐn cún de zǐ páo xiū shì mǎn liǎn hóng sè ， yě bù zhī dào shì bú shì bèi xià dé shén zhì bù qīng ， jū tiáo jiǎ bù zé lù de pǎo xiàng le nán miàn de zhú lín 。
看见此女穷追不舍，那名硕果仅存的紫袍修士满脸红色，也不知道是不是被吓得神志不清，居鲦假不择路的跑向了南面的竹林。
Despite feeling an uneasy sensation as she entered, she believed that skill made one brave. She paid little heed to it.
nà lǐ de zhú zi shí fēn qí tè ， jū rán shì zǐ sè de ， yī zhèn fēng chuī guò . chū shā shā de shēng xiǎng ， dé yǐn de ， jìng rán yǒu xiē xiàng guǐ kū 。
那里的竹子十分奇特，居然是紫色的，一阵风吹过.出沙沙的声响，德隐的，竟然有些像鬼哭。
Her divine sense locked onto a cultivator several hundred feet ahead. Yuanke raised her slender hand, and a silver thread flew out of her sleeve.
ér zhè piàn zǐ zhú lín yě shì běn mén jìn dì ， píng rì lǐ yán jìn pǔ tōng dì zǐ tà zú ， kě cǐ shí ， wèi le táo mìng ， yún jiā huo nǎ hái guǎn shén me mén guī bù mén guī le 。
而这片紫竹林也是本门禁地，平日里严禁普通弟子踏足，可此时，为了逃命，郧家伙哪还管什么门规不门规了。
Moving at incredible speed, the blade light swiftly arrived behind the purple-robed cultivator, wrapping around his neck.
xuě hú gōng zhǔ zì rán gèng bù qīng chǔ nèi qíng ， tóng yàng hǎo bù yóu yù de zhuī jìn qù le 。
雪狐公主自然更不清楚内情，同样好不犹豫的追进去了。
"Whoosh," a large head shot up into the air, splattering blood everywhere.
jǐn guǎn jìn rù zhú lín de shí hòu ， tā yǐn yǐn yǒu yī zhǒng bù ān de gǎn jué ， dàn sú huà ， yì gāo rén dǎn dà ， cǐ nǚ yě méi yǒu rú hé fàng zài xīn zhōng 。
尽管进入竹林的时候，她隐隐有一种不安的感觉，但俗话，艺高人胆大，此女也没有如何放在心中。
Some of it hit a huge stone, which absorbed the blood. The thick layer of bamboo leaves covering the stone inexplicably fell off.
shén shí fàng chū ， yǐ jiāng qián fāng mǐn bǎi zhàng yuǎn de xiū shì jǐn jǐn zhèn zhù ， yuàn kē tái qǐ qiàn shǒu ， yī dào yín sè de pǐ liàn fēi chū yī xiù 。
神识放出，已将前方敏百丈远的修士紧紧镇住，媛珂抬起纤手，一道银色的匹练飞出衣袖。
The stone revealed its true form, with numerous patterns that looked chaotic at first glance but appeared mysterious and ancient upon closer inspection. There was also an indescribable primordial atmosphere.
dù jí kuài ， fēng chí diàn chè bān de lái dào le zǐ páo xiū shì de hòu miàn ， wéi zhe tā de bó zi yī
度极快，风驰电掣般的来到了紫袍修士的后面，围着他的脖子一
The blood seemed to trigger something as a layer of red light suddenly emerged from the stone, accompanied by spiritual energy fluctuations…
rào 。
绕。
Yuanke's expression changed; she realized she was in some strange array within this purple bamboo grove. Although unsure of its specific purpose, the beautiful demon cultivator didn't intend to stay here.
“ sōu ” de yī shēng ， yī kē dòu dà de tóu lú chōng tiān ér qǐ ， xiān xuè sǎ dé mǎn dì dōu shì 。
“嗖”的一声，一颗斗大的头颅冲天而起，鲜血洒得满地都是。
Just as she thought about flying away, she suddenly felt her spiritual energy vanish. She cried out and fell from mid-air…
The opponent has discovered me?
Lin Xuan's heart was filled with apprehension. Although the Sealing Qi Technique from the Nine Heavens Profound Art was incredibly mysterious, even late-stage Great Daoists couldn't be taken for granted. Lin Xuan held his breath and focused intently, using a secret technique to temporarily stop his heartbeat and blood circulation.

He wiped away the sweat from his forehead as he slowly emerged from his hiding spot, beginning to survey the surroundings.
This was the core forbidden area of the Profound Phoenix Sect—the Cold Spring.
Theyao pulseBrick with the Demon Eye. Legend had it that the Immortal Fairy Profound Phoenix practiced here a million years ago.
Lin Xuan released his divine sense, and after a moment, he showed an odd expression on his face.
