jìn rù lǐ miàn ， yǎn qián dùn shí bái méng méng piàn ， shén shí yě bù néng jí yuǎn ， lín xuān de dù zì rán fàng dé hěn màn 。
进入里面，眼前顿时白蒙蒙片，神识也不能及远，林轩的度自然放得很慢。
Entering the area, everything turned white before his eyes. His divine sense couldn't reach far either. Lin Xuan's pace naturally slowed down.
ér nà fāng xìng xiū shì yǐ zōng yǐng quán wú ， lín xuān de yǎn jīng bù yóu de wēi wēi mī qǐ lái le 。
而那方姓修士已踪影全无，林轩的眼睛不由得微微眯起来了。
The man named Fang had vanished without a trace. Lin Xuan's eyes narrowed slightly, feeling puzzled.
xīn zhōng lüè gǎn yí huò 。
心中略感疑惑。
Could he be so eager to turn hostile? Considering this guy’s abnormal behavior, it was indeed possible. But why would he choose such an environment? Could "Fang" have cultivated a rare spiritual eye technique that allowed him to remain unaffected by the fog?
nán dào tā zhè me kuài jiù xiǎng yào fān liǎn ？
难道他这么快就想要翻脸？
Although just speculation, Lin Xuan couldn't afford to be careless. He quickly activated his Nine Heaven Spirit Shield and placed several talismans in his left palm. In critical moments, these were more useful than treasures.
lián xiǎng zhè jiā huo de fǎn cháng jǔ zhǐ ， dǎo shì dà yǒu kě néng de ， bù guò tā wèi hé huì xuǎn zhè yàng de huán jìng ， mò fēi ” duì fāng jìng xiū liàn yǒu hǎn jiàn de líng mù lèi fǎ shù ， cóng ér bù shòu yún wù de yǐng xiǎng me ？
联想这家伙的反常举止，倒是大有可能的，不过他为何会选这样的环境，莫非”对方竟修炼有罕见的灵目类法术，从而不受云雾的影响么？
Moon also widened her beautiful eyes. Although the girl's cultivation was much lower, having another person around could always be beneficial.
suī rán jǐn jǐn shì cāi cè ， dàn lín xuān zì rán bù gǎn qīng xīn dà yì ， máng jiāng jiǔ tiān líng dùn kāi qǐ ， tóng shí zuǒ shǒu de zhǎng xīn lǐ miàn ， yǐ kòu shàng le jǐ zhāng fú 。 guān jiàn shí kè ， zhè dōng xī bǐ fǎ bǎo hái yào yǒu yòng dé duō 。
虽然仅仅是猜测，但林轩自然不敢轻心大意，忙将九天灵盾开启，同时左手的掌心里面，已扣上了几张符。关键时刻，这东西比法宝还要有用得多。
Fortunately, the fog only restricted divine senses; it didn't have other peculiarities. But Lin Xuan remained cautious, making his escape light and barely visible to avoid ambushes.
yuè ér yě dèng dà le měi mù ， suī rán yā tou de xiū wèi yào dī dé duō ， dàn rú jīn zhè zhǒng qíng xíng 。 duō yí gè rén zǒng shì bù cuò 。
月儿也瞪大了美目，虽然丫头的修为要低得多，但如今这种情形。多一个人总是不错。
Half an hour passed in a blink.
hǎo zài nà yún wù chú le néng gòu xiàn zhì shén shí 。 dào yě méi yǒu bié de gǔ guài ， dàn lín xuān yī jiù bù gǎn dà yì ， wèi le pà bèi tōu xí ， tā de dùn guāng yě biàn dé àn dàn wú bǐ 。
好在那云雾除了能够限制神识。倒也没有别的古怪，但林轩依旧不敢大意，为了怕被偷袭，他的遁光也变得黯淡无比。
Lin Xuan’s aura vanished as he landed on the ground. Despite the surrounding fog, his astonishing divine sense allowed him to vaguely perceive that this was a valley of considerable width, with a stream running through it.
zhuǎn yǎn xiǎo bàn gè shí chén guò qù 。
转眼小半个时辰过去。
On the other side of the valley, the fog grew denser, with some dark energy lingering within. Lin Xuan wouldn't dare enter such an area rashly.
lín xuān dùn guāng yī liǎn ， là xià dì lái ， suī rán sì zhōu mǎn shì yún wù ， dàn yǐ tā jīng rén de shén shí 。 yī jiù néng gòu miǎn qiǎng gǎn yìng qīng chǔ ， zhè ér shì yī piàn shān gǔ ， dào yě pǒ wèi kuān kuò ， yī tiáo xī liú cóng zhōng jiān chuān yuè ér guò 。
林轩遁光一敛，落下地来，虽然四周满是云雾，但以他惊人的神识。依旧能够勉强感应清楚，这儿是一片山谷，倒也颇为宽阔，一条溪流从中间穿越而过。
Supporting his chin in thought, Lin Xuan's face showed deep contemplation.
ér shān gǔ de lìng yī cè ， yún wù zé biàn dé yuè de nóng chóu ， yǐn yǐn hái yǒu yī xiē mó qì zài lǐ tou 。 lín xuān zì rán bú huì mào rán jìn rù qí zhōng 。
而山谷的另一侧，云雾则变得越的浓稠，隐隐还有一些魔气在里头。林轩自然不会冒然进入其中。
Suddenly, he narrowed his eyes and looked to his left, sensing something.
yǐ shǒu zhī hé ， lín xuān liǎn shàng lù chū chén yín zhī sè 。
以手支颌，林轩脸上露出沉吟之色。
About a hundred feet ahead, there was a black object. His divine sense detected it but couldn’t make out what exactly it was.
tū rán ， tā yǎn jīng yī mī ， lüè yǒu suǒ gǎn de xiàng zuǒ cè wàng qù 。
突然，他眼睛一眯，略有所感的像左侧望去。
Lin Xuan flashed past as if taking only a light step, moving with incredible speed.
qián fāng yuē bǎi yú zhàng yuǎn chù ， yǒu yī tuán hēi hū hū de shì wù ， shén shí suī rán gǎn yìng dào le ， dàn jù tǐ shì shén me ， què yòu kàn bù qīng chǔ 。
前方约百余丈远处，有一团黑乎乎的事物，神识虽然感应到了，但具体是什么，却又看不清楚。
A corpse!
lín xuān shēn xíng yī shǎn ， kàn shì jǐn qīng piāo piāo de kuà chū yī bù ， què xùn jié yǐ jí de zǒu guò qù le 。
林轩身形一闪，看似仅轻飘飘的跨出一步，却迅捷以极的走过去了。
It belonged to a male cultivator who had died in a horrifying manner; his blood seemed to have been completely drained by something. A hole the size of a fist was centered on his chest.
shī tǐ ！
尸体！
His eyes remained wide open, showing both shock and anger, along with a hint of confusion. It appeared he didn't understand what had attacked him.
shì yī nán xìng xiū xiān zhě ， sǐ zhuàng móu wèi kě bù ， hún shēn de xuè yè fǎng fú bèi shén me gěi xī gàn le 。 xiōng kǒu zhèng zhōng ， yǒu yī quán tou dà xiǎo de kǒng dòng 。
是一男性修仙者，死状眸为可怖，浑身的血液仿佛被什么给吸干了。胸口正中，有一拳头大小的孔洞。
From his attire, this was a wandering cultivator. To his left lay a short sword.
ér tā sǐ bù míng mù ， shuāng yǎn yī jiù yuán zhēng zhe ， yòu shì jīng yà ， yòu shì fèn nù ， yǐn yǐn de ， hái yǒu yì diǎn máng rán zhī sè 。
而他死不瞑目，双眼依旧圆睁着，又是惊讶，又是愤怒，隐隐的，还有一点茫然之色。
Although Lin Xuan considered it merely an ordinary treasure crafted from thousand-year-old copper, such items weren’t powerful enough to be much.
sì hū duì tōu xí zì jǐ de shì wù ， gǎn dào yǒu xiē bù jiě shì de 。
似乎对偷袭自己的事物，感到有些不解似的。
But notice, even if it were trash, it would still be a treasure. In other words, the person before him should be a Golden Core cultivator who had entered the higher stages of cultivation.
cóng dǎ bàn lái kàn ， zhè shì yī wèi sàn xiū ， ér zài tā de zuǒ shǒu biān ， hái sàn luò zhe yī bǐng duǎn jiàn 。
从打扮来看，这是一位散修，而在他的左手边，还散落着一柄短剑。
Still, his injuries suggested that not only was his blood drained but he died instantly without any signs of struggle around him.
suī rán yǐ lín xuān de yǎn guāng lái kàn ， bù guò shì yī jiàn shí fēn pǔ tōng de fǎ bǎo ， yòng qiān nián tóng jīng dǎ zào ， zhè yàng de dōng xī ， shén tōng jué gāo bú dào nǎ lǐ 。
虽然以林轩的眼光来看，不过是一件十分普通的法宝，用千年铜精打造，这样的东西，神通绝高不到哪里。
By common sense, those capable of killing a Condensation Core existence so quickly were few and far between. Only元婴期 cultivators could achieve such feats.
dàn zhù yì ， pāo jí biàn zài lā jī ， yě zǒng shì fǎ bǎo ， huàn jù huà shuō ， yǎn qián zhī rén ， yīng gāi shì yī wèi jīn dān dà chéng de xiū xiān zhě 。
但注意，抛即便再垃圾，也总是法宝，换句话说，眼前之人，应该是一位金丹大成的修仙者。
Could it be one of the old monsters?
zěn me shuō ， yě bù rù le gāo jiē xiū shì de fàn chóu 。
怎么说，也步入了高阶修士的范畴。
Most people would likely think so.
kě cóng shāng shì lái kàn ， tā de xuè yè bù jǐn bèi xī gàn ， ér qiě yī jī bì mìng ， sì zhōu gēn běn lián bàn diǎn dǎ dòu de hén jì dōu méi yǒu 。
可从伤势来看，他的血液不仅被吸干，而且一击毙命，四周根本连半点打斗的痕迹都没有。
But Lin Xuan didn't believe that. Looking at the large hole in his chest, he remained silent for a moment.
cóng cháng lǐ tuī duàn ， néng gòu miǎo shā níng dān qī cún zài de bìng bù suàn duō ， zhǐ yǒu yuán yīng qī de xiū xiān zhě 。
从常理推断，能够秒杀凝丹期存在的并不算多，只有元婴期的修仙者。
After a while, he raised his head and stared at an empty space to his left: "Friend Daoist Fang, since you've come, why hide and sneak around? We should cooperate this time. Come over and let's examine how this person died."
mò fēi shì nǎ yí gè 。 lǎo guài wù bàn de ？
莫非是哪一个。老怪物半的？
Mmm...
huàn yí gè rén ， duō bàn huì rú cǐ tuī cè 。
换一个人，多半会如此推测。
The mountain breeze blew, but the surroundings were eerily silent as a strange atmosphere spread.
dàn lín xuān què bìng bù zhè yàng xiǎng ， wàng zhe cǐ rén xiōng kǒu de dà dòng ， chén mò bù yǔ qǐ lái le 。
但林轩却并不这样想，望着此人胸口的大洞，沉默不语起来了。
Lin Xuan slowly stood straight, his face grave with a mocking smile at the corners of his mouth: "Why not come out? Are you still dreaming of ambushing me?"
piàn kè hòu ， tā tái qǐ tóu ， dīng xiàng zuǒ cè mǒu kōng wú yì rén zhī chù ：“ fāng dào yǒu jì rán lái le ； yòu hé bì yǐn zài yī páng tōu tōu mō mō ， zhè cì rèn wù nǐ wǒ bù yīng gāi jīng chéng hé zuò ， guò lái yǔ lín mǒu yì qǐ yán jiū xià zhè rén zěn me sǐ de rú hé ？”
片刻后，他抬起头，盯像左侧某空无一人之处：“方道友既然来了；又何必隐在一旁偷偷摸摸，这次任务你我不应该精诚合作，过来与林某一起研究下这人怎么死的如何？”
"How did you see through it?"
wū ……
呜……
After a while, a cold voice echoed. Red light flashed, and an outline gradually became clearer in the fog.
shān fēng chuī guò ， sì zhōu jìng qiāo qiāo de ， rán ér què yǒu yī gǔ guǐ yì de qì fēn mí sàn kāi le 。
山风吹过，四周静悄悄的，然而却有一股诡异的气氛弥散开了。
Around forty years old, broad-faced with large ears, he was indeed the man named Fang. However, compared to before, his body exuded a nauseating amount of dark energy.
lín xuān huǎn huǎn zhàn zhí le shēn tǐ ， liǎn sè níng zhòng yǐ jí ， piān piān zuǐ jiǎo biān guà zhe jī cháo de xiào yì ：“ zěn me ， dào yǒu hái bù chū lái ， mò fēi xiàn zài dōu hái huàn xiǎng zhe néng gòu tōu xí yú wǒ ？”“ nǐ zěn bèi xiàn de ？”
林轩缓缓站直了身体，脸色凝重以极，偏偏嘴角边挂着讥嘲的笑意：“怎么，道友还不出来，莫非现在都还幻想着能够偷袭于我？”“你怎备现的？”
Clearly, this was Blood Sovereign. His appearance was truly disconcerting at that moment.
bàn xiǎng zhī hòu ， lěng lěng de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ 。 jiē zhe hóng guāng yī shǎn ， yī dào rén yǐng zài mí wù zhōng zhú jiàn qīng xī le qǐ lái 。
半响之后，冷冷的声音传入耳朵。接着红光一闪，一道人影在迷雾中逐渐清晰了起来。
As an evil entity from ancient times, his cultivation method was highly unusual and almost insane. He had fused himself with the bodies of beasts, transforming into a half-human, half-beast creature. Despite this, his powers far surpassed ordinary元婴中期 cultivators.
dà yuē sì shí yú suì nián jì ， fāng miàn dà ěr ， xiàng mào wēi yán ， zhèng shì nà fāng xìng xiū xiān zhě ， bù guò yǔ yǐ qián xiāng bǐ ， hún shēn duō chū le yī gǔ zhōng rén yù ǒu de mó qì 。
大约四十余岁年纪，方面大耳，相貌威严，正是那方姓修仙者，不过与以前相比，浑身多出了一股中人欲呕的魔气。
Especially the beast he had fused with possessed spiritual eyes. Although it would still be affected by the fog to some extent, compared to Lin Xuan, it was clearly at an advantage.
bú yòng shuō ， zì shì xuè mó zūn zhě ， zhǐ bù guò cǐ shí cǐ kè ， tā de liǎn sè shí zài shì nán kàn wú 。
不用说，自是血魔尊者，只不过此时此刻，他的脸色实在是难看无。
With such favorable conditions, the old monster proposed leading the way and entering first, intending to hide in the shadows and ambush Lin Xuan.
zuò wèi shàng gǔ shí qī huó xià lái de mó tóu 。 zhè jiā huo xiū liàn de gōng fǎ shí fēn tè shū ， shèn zhì kě yǐ shuō yǐ dào le fēng kuáng de dì bù ， jiāng zì jǐ yǔ yāo shòu de shēn tǐ xiāng róng hé ， rú jīn tā suī rán biàn chéng le bàn rén bàn yāo de guài wù ， dàn shén tōng yě yuǎn fēi pǔ tōng yuán yīng zhōng qī xiū shì kě yǐ xiāng bǐ de 。
做为上古时期活下来的魔头。这家伙修炼的功法十分特殊，甚至可以说已到了疯狂的地步，将自己与妖兽的身体相融合，如今他虽然变成了半人半妖的怪物，但神通也远非普通元婴中期修士可以相比的。
Although that young man had sensed something amiss, he still believed in his success.
yóu qí shì tā suǒ róng hé de nà zhǐ yāo shòu 。 běn shēn biàn yǒu zhe líng mù shén tōng ， suī rán zài zhè mí wù zhī zhōng ， duō shǎo hái shì huì shòu yǐng xiǎng ， dàn yǔ lín xuān xiāng bǐ ， yǐ míng xiǎn zhàn yǒu yōu shì 。
尤其是他所融合的那只妖兽。本身便有着灵目神通，虽然在这迷雾之中，多少还是会受影响，但与林轩相比，已明显占有优势。
He never expected his hiding place to be discovered.
huán jìng duì zì jǐ yǒu lì ， yú shì zhè lǎo guài wù cái tí chū kāi lù ， qiǎng xiān jìn rù qí zhōng ， mù dì biàn shì yǐn zài àn chù ， sì jī duì lín xuān tōu xí 。
环境对自己有利，于是这老怪物才提出开路，抢先进入其中，目的便是隐在暗处，伺机对林轩偷袭。
How did he see through it? Could this Lin guy have some unknown trump card?
suī rán nà xiǎo zi yě chá jué chū le bù tuǒ ， bù guò duì yú chéng gōng tā yī jiù yǒu hěn dà bǎ wò 。
虽然那小子也察觉出了不妥，不过对于成功他依旧有很大把握。
His inner demon was somewhat surprised by these thoughts.
méi xiǎng dào yǐn nì zhī chù jū rán bèi kàn pò 。
没想到隐匿之处居然被看破。
"Regardless of how you saw through it, do you think I would openly tell you under such circumstances? However, I am curious. We've never met before and have no grudges. Why insist on making enemies with me?" Lin Xuan stared at his face, speaking slowly.
tā shì zěn me xiàn de ， mò fēi zhè xìng lín de jiā huo hái yǒu zì jǐ suǒ bù qīng chǔ de dǐ pái me ？
他是怎么现的，莫非这姓林的家伙还有自己所不清楚的底牌么？
"You say we have no grudges, but that's not necessarily true. Back in the occupied area, if you hadn't killed Cao Yue and Zhou Mian, I wouldn't have ended up under the hands of Extreme Evil Sovereign. Enduring humiliation."
xīn mó yǒu xiē chà rán de xiǎng zhe 。
心魔有些诧然的想着。
Before he could finish, Lin Xuan’s face changed wildly as he gasped: "What? You're Blood Sovereign, still alive?"
“ bù guǎn zài xià zěn me kàn pò ， dào yǒu jué de zhè zhǒng qíng xíng xià wǒ huì zhí yán xiāng gào me ， bù guò lín mǒu dǎo shì hěn hào qí ， nǐ wǒ wú yuān wú chóu 。 yǐ qián yòu zhòng wèi jiàn guò ， gé xià wèi hé yào zhí yì yǔ wǒ wèi dí ne ？” lín xuān dīng zhe duì fāng de liǎn kǒng ， yī zì yī dùn de kāi kǒu le 。
“不管在下怎么看破，道友觉的这种情形下我会直言相告么，不过林某倒是很好奇，你我无冤无仇。以前又重未见过，阁下为何要执意与我为敌呢？”林轩盯着对方的脸孔，一字一顿的开口了。
Back then, before killing those traitors, Lin Xuan had used Soul Tugging to know everything about Blood Sovereign.
“ wú yuān wú chóu ， zhè kě wèi bì ， dāng nián zài lún xiàn qū ， ruò bú shì nǐ miè shā le cáo yuè zhōu miǎn fū fù ， lǎo fū hé zhì yú luò rù jí è mó zūn shǒu zhōng 。 rěn rǔ fù zhòng ”
“无冤无仇，这可未必，当年在沦陷区，若不是你灭杀了曹月周冕夫妇，老夫何至于落入极恶魔尊手中。忍辱负重”
While naturally not afraid, he couldn't help feeling some fear towards this notorious evil entity from ancient times. Back then, the cultivation world was more prosperous; both secret arts and treasures were far superior to today's standards.
duì fāng huà yīn wèi luò ， lín xuān liǎn sè yǐ kuáng biàn le 。 shī shēng jīng hū ：“ shén me ， nǐ nbsp;nbsp; nǐ shì xuè mó ， jū rán hái huó zhe 。”
对方话音未落，林轩脸色已狂变了。失声惊呼：“什么，你nbsp;nbsp;你是血魔，居然还活着。”
Lin Xuan’s face turned gloomy.
dāng nián miè shā nà liǎng gè pàn tú zhī qián ， lín xuān kě shì shī zhǎn le bō hún zhī shù ， duì yú xuè mó de lái lì ， zì rán zhī dào dé yì qīng èr chǔ 。
当年灭杀那两个叛徒之前，林轩可是施展了拨魂之术，对于血魔的来历，自然知道得一清二楚。
"Then you are indeed Blood Sovereign. Correct, we do have some grudges. But with time passing, I am no longer a Condensation Core cultivator. Do you think it's worth making enemies over trivial matters?" Lin Xuan said calmly, seemingly trying to ease the tension between them.
píng xīn lái shuō ， pà zì rán bù pà ， dàn duì yú zhè shàng gǔ shí qī jiù è míng zhāo zhù de mó tóu ， duō shǎo hái shì yǒu yī xiē jì dàn a ！
平心来说，怕自然不怕，但对于这上古时期就恶名昭著的魔头，多少还是有一些忌惮啊！
"Humph." Seeing him show weakness, Blood Sovereign’s face flashed with a cruel smile before he suddenly changed his expression and turned around. With a flick of his left hand, large black dark energy shot out from his sleeves, transforming into a giant python that lunged forward.
bì jìng nà shí hòu ， xiū xiān jiè gèng jiā fán róng ， bù guǎn mì shù hái shì bǎo wù ， dōu bǐ rú jīn shèng shàng 。
毕竟那时候，修仙界更加繁荣，不管秘术还是宝物，都比如今胜上。
"Buzz!"
lín xuān de liǎn sè yīn mái wú bǐ le 。
林轩的脸色阴霾无比了。
Red light flashed as a massive magical bee appeared beside Blood Sovereign, about ten feet away.
“ yuán lái gé xià shì xuè mó ， bù cuò ， nǐ wǒ zhī jiān què shí yǒu yī xiē ēn yuàn de ， bù guò shí guò jìng qiān ， lín mǒu yě bú shì xī rì de níng dān qī xiū xiān zhě ， wèi le xiē xǔ xiǎo shì ， gé xià jué de yǔ wǒ jiāo wù ， shì fǒu zhí de ？” lín xuān shén sè yī huǎn de shuō ， sì hū yǒu yì jiāng liǎng rén de guān xì huǎn hé 。
“原来阁下是血魔，不错，你我之间确实有一些恩怨的，不过时过境迁，林某也不是昔日的凝丹期修仙者，为了些许小事，阁下觉得与我交恶，是否值得？”林轩神色一缓的说，似乎有意将两人的关系缓和。
With a body nearly a foot long, its surface patterns were extremely mysterious. It was the one Lin Xuan had spent great effort to mature. Knowing his intention to kill him, how could he care about the reasons? He said these words only to distract and secretly release the Jade Net Bee for an ambush.
Entering the area, everything turned white before his eyes. His divine sense couldn't reach far either. Lin Xuan's pace naturally slowed down.
The man named Fang had vanished without a trace. Lin Xuan's eyes narrowed slightly, feeling puzzled.
Could he be so eager to turn hostile? Considering this guy’s abnormal behavior, it was indeed possible. But why would he choose such an environment? Could "Fang" have cultivated a rare spiritual eye technique that allowed him to remain unaffected by the fog?
Although just speculation, Lin Xuan couldn't afford to be careless. He quickly activated his Nine Heaven Spirit Shield and placed several talismans in his left palm. In critical moments, these were more useful than treasures.
Moon also widened her beautiful eyes. Although the girl's cultivation was much lower, having another person around could always be beneficial.
