当然。林轩倒也并不害怕。以他如今的神沥。就算是遇龙无婴中期的修士，也能战而胜之，只要小心一些，应该不会出观什么大的问题。
Of course. Lin Xuan was not afraid either. With his current spiritual essence, even a mid-stage Dragonling Immortal could be defeated if he fought carefully enough; there should be no major issues.
niàn jí zhì cǐ ， lín xuān zài cì xú xú xiàng qián fēi qù ， dāng rán zhè yī cì ， tā kè yì shōu liǎn le zì jǐ de qì xī 。
念及至此，林轩再次徐徐向前飞去，当然这一次，他刻意收敛了自己的气息。
Thinking this, Lin Xuan continued to fly forward slowly but deliberately concealed his aura this time.
hěn kuài ， yòu yī guài wù de cán shī luò rù le yǎn lián lǐ ， zhè cì de jiā huo zhǎng dé yǒu diǎn xiàng è yú ， rán ér pí fū què shì guǐ yì de lán sè ， sǐ de shí jiān tóng yàng bù jiǔ ， lín xuān shēn shǒu yī mō ， shī tǐ dōu hái yǒu xiē wēn rè 。
很快，又一怪物的残尸落入了眼帘里，这次的家伙长得有点像鳄鱼，然而皮肤却是诡异的蓝色，死的时间同样不久，林轩伸手一摸，尸体都还有些温热。
Soon, another monster's corpse came into view. This one resembled an alligator, with skin that was strangely blue and had not been dead for long. Lin Xuan touched it, finding the body still warm.
kě wù ， ruò fēi shén shí bèi jìn gāng zì jǐ qīng yì jiù néng nòng qīng shēng le shén me ， gēn běn jiù bú huì xiàng guān zài yī tóu wù shuǐ 。
可恶，若非神识被禁钢自己轻易就能弄清生了什么，根本就不会像观在一头雾水。
Damn, if he hadn't been restricted by the spiritual essence of the steel, he would have easily discerned what happened, avoiding this confusion entirely.
lín xuān yǒu xiē hèn hèn de xiǎng zhe ， yuè jiāng jǐng tì tí gāo le 。
林轩有些恨恨的想着，越将警惕提高了。
Lin Xuan's thoughts were filled with resentment as his vigilance increased. Due to the妖雾, objects more than a dozen feet away were hard to see, which was quite uncomfortable.
yóu yú yǒu yāo wù ， shí yú zhàng yuǎn de dōng xī jiù bù tài kàn de qīng chǔ 、 zhè zhǒng zhuàng kuàng shí zài shì ràng rén hěn bù shū fú 。
由于有妖雾，十余丈远的东西就不太看得清楚、这种状况实在是让人很不舒服。
After flying for a while, the number of corpses increased. Soon, another monster appeared in his sight.
yòu fēi le yī huì er ， yī lù shàng de cán shī yuè lái yuè duō ， hěn kuài ， yòu yí gè guài wù yìng rù le yǎn lián lǐ 。
又飞了一会儿，一路上的残尸越来越多，很快，又一个怪物映入了眼帘里。
"This looks..."
“ zhè rú …”
“这如…”
Surprise flashed across Lin Xuan's face, and his expression grew serious.
lín xuān liǎn shàng lù chū le jīng yà zhī sè ， biǎo qíng yī xià zi níng zhòng qǐ lái le 。
林轩脸上露出了惊讶之色，表情一下子凝重起来了。
Moon also felt somewhat familiar.
yuè ér yě jué de yǒu xiē yǎn shú 。
月儿也觉得有些眼熟。
This was a creature that looked like a human but had red skin, resembling fresh blood with an odd sheen. The most striking feature was the several-inch-long horns on its forehead.
zhè shì yī zhǎng dé hěn xiàng rén lèi de guài wù ， rán ér pí fū què shì hóng sè ， rú xiān xuè yì bān ， hái fàn zhe gǔ guài de guāng zé ， zuì lìng rén yìn xiàng shēn kè de shì ， zhè jiā huo de é tóu shàng ， shēng yǒu shù cùn zhǎng de jiǎo 。
这是一长得很像人类的怪物，然而皮肤却是红色，如鲜血一般，还泛着古怪的光泽，最令人印象深刻的是，这家伙的额头上，生有数寸长的角。
A demon!
yāo mó ！
妖魔！
Lin Xuan recognized it immediately because he had encountered one before—a mid-stage Condensation Core demon. It took him great effort to finally defeat it, so his impression was very deep.
lín xuān yī yǎn jiù rèn chū zhè jiā huo de shēn fèn lái le 。
林轩一眼就认出这家伙的身份来了。
Speaking of demons, while the term "妖" and "魔" differ by only a character, they belong to entirely different races. In ancient times, humans and demons once joined forces to battle the demons and nearly exterminated them. One never expected to find any here.
yīn wèi zì jǐ yǐ qián céng jīng jiàn guò ， hái yǔ yī níng dān qī de yāo mó jiāo guò shǒu ， fèi jǐn le jiǔ niú èr hǔ zhī lì ， cái zhōng yú jiāng qí miè shā diào ， gù ér yìn xiàng fēi cháng shēn kè 。
因为自己以前曾经见过，还与一凝丹期的妖魔交过手，费尽了九牛二虎之力，才终于将其灭杀掉，故而印象非常深刻。
Lin Xuan's expression grew serious as he flew for another few minutes. Another demon corpse appeared in his sight.
shuō qǐ yāo mó ， yǔ yāo zú suī rán zhǐ yǒu yī zì zhī chà ， dàn què shǔ yú wán quán bù tóng de zhǒng zú ， zài shàng gǔ shí qī ， rén lèi yǔ yāo zú de qián bèi céng lián shǒu yǔ yāo mó dà zhàn 、 bìng jiāng xī men jī hū miè jué le ， méi xiǎng dào zhè lǐ jū rán hái huì yǒu 。
说起妖魔，与妖族虽然只有一字之差，但却属于完全不同的种族，在上古时期，人类与妖族的前辈曾联手与妖魔大战、并将牺们几乎灭绝了，没想到这里居然还会有。
It was a two-headed monster, towering seven or eight zhang high with wide mouths and sharp teeth. Its body was covered in fine scales. Judging from the lingering demonic aura, it was an early-stage Condensation Core demon.
lín xuān de biǎo qíng yǒu xiē níng zhòng 。
林轩的表情有些凝重。
Even though Lin Xuan was daring, a shadow of danger clouded his brows.
yòu fēi le yuē yī zhǎn chá de shí jiān ， yòu yī jù yāo mó de shī tǐ yìng rù yǎn lián 。
又飞了约一盏茶的时间，又一具妖魔的尸体映入眼帘。
"Master," Moon opened her mouth to say something but stopped when Lin Xuan waved his hand and listened intently.
shì yī shuāng tóu guài wù ， gāo qī bā zhàng ， kuò kǒu liáo yá ， hún shēn hái fù gài yǒu yī céng xì mì de lín jiǎ ， cóng qí shàng wèi wán quán xiāo shī de mó qì lái kàn ， jū rán shì yuán yīng chū qī de 。
是一双头怪物，高七八丈，阔口缭牙，浑身还覆盖有一层细密的鳞甲，从其尚未完全消失的魔气来看，居然是元婴初期的。
With his spiritual essence restricted by steel and thick fog obscuring his vision, his ears were the only sense unaffected.
jí biàn yì gāo rén dǎn dà ， lín xuān méi yǔ zhī jiān ， yě bù mǎn le yīn bà 。
即便艺高人胆大，林轩眉宇之间，也布满了阴霸。
A faint roar and the sound of explosions reached his ears from directly ahead, as if someone was engaged in a fierce battle.
“ shào yé ” yuè ér zhāng le zhāng kǒu ， xiǎng shuō shén me ， lín xuān yī bǎi shǒu ， cè ěr qīng tīng qǐ lái le 。
“少爷”月儿张了张口，想说什么，林轩一摆手，侧耳倾听起来了。
Lin Xuan hesitated briefly before quietly flying past. Although he tried to lower his speed to avoid detection, the seven or eight li distance still passed quickly.
zhè ge dì fāng shén shí bèi jìn tóng ， hái mí màn dé yǒu nóng wù ， yǎn qíng yě kàn bù liǎo tài yuǎn ， xiāng duì ér yán ， ěr duǒ dǎo shì bù shòu yǐng xiǎng de 。
这个地方神识被禁铜，还弥漫得有浓雾，眼晴也看不了太远，相对而言，耳朵倒是不受影响的。
The demon fog thinned, revealing a large expanse of clear sky. The swirling demonic and demon force revealed a familiar figure—Snow Fox Clan's princess.
jiù zài zhèng qián fāng ， yǐn yǐn chuán lái yī zhèn sī hǒu ， hái yǒu pēng pēng pēng de bào liè zhī shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， jiù xiàng yǒu shén me rén zhèng jī liè dòu fǎ shì de 。
就在正前方，隐隐传来一阵嘶吼，还有砰砰砰的爆裂之声传入耳朵，就像有什么人正激烈斗法似的。
Seeing this woman, Lin Xuan was greatly surprised. Why would she be here?
lín xuān lüè yī chóu chú ， biàn qiāo qiāo de fēi guò qù le 。
林轩略一踌躇，便悄悄的飞过去了。
She was undoubtedly an exquisite beauty; after entering the transformation stage, foxes were already beautiful, but as a princess, her appearance was even more striking.
suī rán wèi le bì miǎn bèi guān ， jǐ jǐn liàng jiàng dī dù ， dàn qī bā lǐ de jù lí ， hái shì zhuǎn shùn jí zhì 。
虽然为了避免被观，己尽量降低度，但七八里的距离，还是转瞬即至。
However, Lin Xuan wasn't concerned with that. His focus was on the opponent who was fiercely battling Warm River—a demon of roughly human height.
qián fāng de yāo wù yuè lái yuè báo ， jū rán lù chū le hǎo dà yī piàn qíng kōng 。
前方的妖雾越来越薄，居然露出了好大一片晴空。
Although it was small for its kind, its cultivation was formidable; it too was at the Condensation Core stage.
mó qì yǔ yāo lì fān yǒng ， yī wèi shú xī de shēn yǐng jìn rù le yǎn lián zhōng 。
魔气与妖力翻涌，一位熟悉的身影进入了眼帘中。
Lin Xuan had seen Warm River's abilities before—she once clashed with a phoenix, though the bird used secret methods to transform. The power was still considerable, especially considering that Lin Xuan didn't know what the teapot she used was, but it likely wasn’t from this world.
zhèng shì nà wèi xuě hú zú de dà gōng zhǔ 。
正是那位雪狐族的大公主。
The secret technique was so intricate that even Lin Xuan admitted defeat. If Snow Fox Princess unleashed it, she should easily be able to kill the demon in front of them, yet for some reason, she did not use it.
lín xuān kàn jiàn cǐ nǚ ， xīn zhōng zì shì wàn fēn jīng qí ， tā zěn me yě huì zài zhè lǐ ？
林轩看见此女，心中自是万分惊奇，她怎么也会在这里？
Nevertheless, this woman was a mid-stage transformed demon and still had the upper hand. Victory would likely come soon.
píng xīn lái shuō ， zhè shì yī wèi jué sè de nǚ zǐ ， hú zú de nǚ zǐ jìn rù huà xíng qī yǐ hòu ， xiàng mào běn jiù bù sú ， gèng hé kuàng hái shì gōng zhǔ 。
平心来说，这是一位绝色的女子，狐族的女子进入化形期以后，相貌本就不俗，更何况还是公主。
Since they were enemies, Lin Xuan had no intention of intervening. He sat back and watched the battle unfold.
dāng rán ， lín xuān guān xīn de bú shì zhè ge ， ér shì yǔ nuǎn kē jī liè pīn shā de duì shǒu ， nà shì yī shēn gāo yǔ fán rén chà bu duō de yāo mó 。
当然，林轩关心的不是这个，而是与暖珂激烈拼杀的对手，那是一身高与凡人差不多的妖魔。
Using his concealment technique to hide in the shadows, he thought that even with his composure, there might be a moment when he miscalculated. After all, humans are not gods and can make mistakes.
suī rán zài tā zhè yī zú lǐ tǐ jī suàn gòu xiǎo le ， rán ér xiū wèi què bù róng qīng hū ， tóng yàng shì yuán yīng qī de 。
虽然在牠这一族里体积算够小了，然而修为却不容轻忽，同样是元婴期的。
"Big Sister," a clear voice entered his ears as Little Snow Fox emerged from her spirit beast bag, blinking groggily and seeing her close family member.
lín xuān céng jīng jiàn guò nuǎn hé de shén tōng ， cǐ nǚ céng yǔ fèng huáng yìng pèng ， suī shuō shén niǎo shì yòng mì fǎ huà xíng chū lái de ， dàn wēi néng yě fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， yóu qí shì nuǎn kē shǐ yòng de chá hú ， lín xuān yě bù zhī dào shì shén me bǎo wù ， dàn kǒng pà bù gāi shì zhè yī jiè yōng yǒu de 。
林轩曾经见过暖河的神通，此女曾与凤凰硬碰，虽说神鸟是用秘法化形出来的，但威能也非同小可，尤其是暖珂使用的茶壶，林轩也不知道是什么宝物，但恐怕不该是这一界拥有的。
Lin Xuan was shocked, but it was too late to stop her. Although the girl's voice wasn't loud, Warm River, being a demon, had much better hearing than humans.
nà mì shù xuán miào dào le jí chù ， lín xuān yě gān bài xià fēng ， xuě hú gōng zhǔ ruò jiāng qí jì chū ， yīng gāi bù nán miè shā yǎn qián de yāo mó ， kě bù zhī wèi hé ， tā jìng rán méi yǒu yòng 。
那秘术玄妙到了极处，林轩也甘拜下风，雪狐公主若将其祭出，应该不难灭杀眼前的妖魔，可不知为何，她竟然没有用。
Finding what she was looking for after so long, it felt like a bolt of lightning on a clear day to Warm River.
dàn ráo shì rú cǐ ， cǐ nǚ yě shì huà xíng zhōng qī de yāo zú ， yī jiù láo láo zhàn jù zhe shàng fēng ， qǔ shèng yīng gāi shì shí jiān wèn tí le 。
但饶是如此，此女也是化形中期的妖族，依旧牢牢占据着上风，取胜应该是时间问题了。
With the entire clan mobilized in battle with the Xuanfeng Sect, they were searching for this mischievous dead girl. After such a long time without news, Warm River had worried that her sister might have perished.
shuāng fāng shì dí fēi yǒu ， lín xuān dāng rán méi yǒu shàng qù bāng máng de niàn tou ， yōu zāi yóu zāi de zuò shān guān hǔ dòu 。
双方是敌非友，林轩当然没有上去帮忙的念头，优哉游哉的坐山观虎斗。
Hearing her voice now filled her with joy. Even facing a powerful demon, Warm River instinctively turned to see a young man's ordinary face, his expression full of disappointment—Lin Xuan himself, holding the fluffy Little Snow Fox in his arms.
shī zhǎn liǎn qì zhī fǎ ， yǐn shēn yú àn chù ， kě sú huà shuō dé hǎo ， bǎi mì yī shū ， jí biàn yǐ lín xuān de chéng fǔ ， yě nán miǎn yǒu suàn lòu de yī kè ， bì jìng rén bú shì shén ， zǒng huì fàn cuò 。
施展敛气之法，隐身于暗处，可俗话说得好，百密一疏，即便以林轩的城府，也难免有算漏的一刻，毕竟人不是神，总会犯错。
Seeing her big sister after so long, Shang'er was excited, raising her paws... "As if waving."
“ jiě jiě 。” yī qīng cuì de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， què shì xiǎo xuě hú zài líng shòu dài fēng xiū xī gòu le ， shuì yǎn xīng sōng de tàn chū tóu ， jié guǒ biàn kàn jiàn zhì qīn zhī rén le 。
“姐姐。”一清脆的声音传入耳朵，却是小雪狐在灵兽袋丰休息够了，睡眼惺忪的探出头，结果便看见至亲之人了。
This dead girl! Warm River couldn't help but spit. While she caused chaos for the entire clan, she enjoyed herself.
lín xuān dà jīng shī sè ， zǔ zhǐ jǐ jīng lái bù jí ， ér nà yā tou de shēng yīn suī rán bù dà ， kě nuǎn hé shēn wèi yāo zú ， tīng lì bǐ rén lèi hái yào hǎo dé duō 。
林轩大惊失色，阻止己经来不及，而那丫头的声音虽然不大，可暖河身为妖族，听力比人类还要好得多。
As for that human cultivator, Warm River didn’t pay much attention to him. With his spiritual essence restricted by steel, she couldn’t gauge his cultivation level. There weren’t many male-focused techniques with anti-aging effects, so he was likely at most a mid-stage Condensation Core cultivator.
tà pò tiě xié wú mì chù ， dé lái quán bù fèi gōng fu ， zhè jiǔ wéi de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， duì nuǎn ā lái shuō ， jiǎn zhí yǔ qíng tiān pī lì chà bu duō 。
踏破铁鞋无觅处，得来全不费工夫，这久违的声音传入耳朵，对暖阿来说，简直与晴天霹雳差不多。
Warm River imagined it all one-sidedly. As long as the demon was defeated, rescuing her sister from this man wouldn’t be difficult.
quán zú chū dòng ， yǔ xuán fèng mén dà dǎ chū shǒu ， wèi de bù jiù shì xún zhǎo zhè tiáo pí de sǐ yā tou ？
全族出动，与玄凤门大打出手，为的不就是寻找这调皮的死丫头？
However, she overestimated the situation and made a grave mistake by losing focus in battle. Seeing Warm River turn around, how could the demon miss such an opportunity?
zhè me jiǔ méi yǒu xià luò ， nuǎn hé yě zài dān xīn mèi mèi shì bú shì jǐ jīng yǔn luò 。
这么久没有下落，暖河也在担心妹妹是不是己经陨落。
It opened its mouth and spat out a black demonic aura that coalesced into a short spear-shaped treasure.
rú jīn tīng jiàn tā de shēng yīn ， gāo xìng shì kě xiǎng ér zhī de 。
如今听见她的声音，高兴是可想而知的。
"Quickly dodge," Little Fox's cry reached his ears, but it was too late to avoid it. Warm River barely managed to shift her body, dodging the critical area.
jí biàn miàn duì qiáng hèng de yāo mó ， nuǎn kē yě rěn bú zhù běn néng de jiāng tóu zhuǎn guò ， yìng rù yǎn shěn de shì yī shào nián píng fán de miàn kǒng ， mǎn liǎn yù mèn zhī sè ， bú yòng shuō 、 zì rán shì lín xuān le ， ér tā de huái zhōng ， hái bào zhe máo róng róng de xiǎo xuě hú 。
即便面对强横的妖魔，暖珂也忍不住本能的将头转过，映入眼审的是一少年平凡的面孔，满脸郁闷之色，不用说、自然是林轩了，而他的怀中，还抱着毛茸茸的小雪狐。
The spear pierced through her collarbone, but she wasn’t in immediate danger; still, she suffered significant injuries.
zhè me jiǔ cái jiàn dào jiě jiě ， xiāng ér yě yǒu xiē xīng fèn ， jiāng zhuǎ zi jǔ zài bàn kōng …“ jiù xiàng shì zài zhāo shǒu 。”
这么久才见到姐姐，香儿也有些兴奋，将爪子举在半空…“就像是在招手。”
With its first attack successful, the demon laughed maniacally as demonic aura surged around it, desperately attacking.
zhè sǐ yā tou ！“ nuǎn hé rěn bú zhù cuì le yī kǒu ， quán zú bèi tā jiǎo dé jī fēi gǒu tiào ， tā dào guò dé tǐng kāi xīn de 。”
这死丫头！“暖河忍不住啐了一口，全族被她搅得鸡飞狗跳，她倒过得挺开心的。”
In an instant, the situation reversed. Warm River had to take a defensive stance. Her beautiful body was enveloped by a bright white light...
zhì yú nà rén lèi xiū xiān zhě ， nuǎn hé dào bìng méi yǒu fàng zài yǎn zhōng ， zhè ér shén shí bèi jìn tóng ， tā yě jiù wú fǎ tàn zhī lín xuān de xiū wèi le ， bù guò shì hé nán xiū yòu yǒu zhù yán xiào guǒ de gōng fǎ bù duō ， cǐ rén dǐng duō yě jiù yī níng dān qī xiū xiān zhě 。
至于那人类修仙者，暖河倒并没有放在眼中，这儿神识被禁铜，她也就无法探知林轩的修为了，不过适合男修又有驻颜效果的功法不多，此人顶多也就一凝丹期修仙者。
Brother, quickly save my sister. Shang'er, though mischievous, understood the urgency and turned back with a pitiful look at Lin Xuan.
Of course. Lin Xuan was not afraid either. With his current spiritual essence, even a mid-stage Dragonling Immortal could be defeated if he fought carefully enough; there should be no major issues.
Thinking this, Lin Xuan continued to fly forward slowly but deliberately concealed his aura this time.
Soon, another monster's corpse came into view. This one resembled an alligator, with skin that was strangely blue and had not been dead for long. Lin Xuan touched it, finding the body still warm.
Damn, if he hadn't been restricted by the spiritual essence of the steel, he would have easily discerned what happened, avoiding this confusion entirely.
Lin Xuan's thoughts were filled with resentment as his vigilance increased. Due to the妖雾, objects more than a dozen feet away were hard to see, which was quite uncomfortable.
After flying for a while, the number of corpses increased. Soon, another monster appeared in his sight.
"This looks..."
Surprise flashed across Lin Xuan's face, and his expression grew serious.
Moon also felt somewhat familiar.
This was a creature that looked like a human but had red skin, resembling fresh blood with an odd sheen. The most striking feature was the several-inch-long horns on its forehead.
A demon!
