lù xī chán kàn zhe wàn xiān dǎo shàng yǐ jīng huà zuò yī piàn xū wú de yǎn wǔ táng ， méi tóu wēi cù 。
陆溪婵看着万仙岛上已经化作一片虚无的演武堂，眉头微蹙。
Lu Xichan looked at the Wanshenshan Island, which had already turned into a void after the martial arts hall was destroyed. Her frown deepened slightly.
sī sī lǜ xiàn fú xiàn ， chán rào zhǐ jiān 。
丝丝绿线浮现，缠绕指尖。
Fine green threads appeared,缠绕 around her fingertips.
tā dīng zhe zhè shú xī ér yòu mò shēng de lǜ máng ， yǎn zhōng shǎn guò yī sī yà rán 。
她盯着这熟悉而又陌生的绿芒，眼中闪过一丝讶然。
She stared at this familiar yet unfamiliar green light, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.
jí biàn cóng yún hǎi zhè piān pì zhī dì ， méi yǒu duō shǎo xiū shì zhī dào lù xī chán de shēn fèn 。
即便丛云海这偏僻之地，没有多少修士知道陆溪婵的身份。
Even though Cunyun Sea was a remote place, not many cultivators knew Lu Xichan's identity.
dàn shì zài wēi yā zhī xià ， tā bù shuō huà ， wàn xiān dǎo yě shì wàn lài jù jì 、 jìng mò wú shēng 。
但是在威压之下，她不说话，万仙岛也是万籁俱寂、静默无声。
But under the pressure, she remained silent, and Wanshenshan Island fell into complete silence.
xiū shì men bù gǎn zhí shì tā de shēn zī ， zhǐ shì rú tóng lǐ fán bān ， dī méi liǎn mù 。
修士们不敢直视她的身姿，只是如同李凡般，低眉敛目。
Cultivators dared not look directly at her figure; instead, they bowed their heads in a manner like Li Fan did.
tóng shí zài xīn zhōng cāi cè zhe zhè wèi nǚ xiū de shēn fèn 。
同时在心中猜测着这位女修的身份。
Meanwhile, they were guessing the identity of this female cultivator in their hearts.
zuì zhōng ， hái shì cóng dǎo shàng de zhōng yāng bù zhèng táng fēi chū liǎng dào shēn yǐng ， yíng shàng qián qù 。
最终，还是从岛上的中央布政堂飞出两道身影，迎上前去。
Finally, two figures flew out from the central administrative hall on the island and approached her.
yī nán yī nǚ ， zhèng shì zǐ yún 、 hóng xī zhè liǎng wèi cóng yún hǎi jǐn yǒu de huà shén xiān jūn 。
一男一女，正是紫云、鸿曦这两位丛云海仅有的化神仙君。
One male and one female—these were Purple Cloud and Hong Xi, the only two Immortal Kings who had transformed in Cunyun Sea.
“ jiàn guò lù shǒu xí ！”
“见过陆首席！”
"Salutations to Chief Lu!"
tā men qí qí gōng shēn xíng lǐ dào ， liǎn shàng de shén qíng wēi wēi yǒu xiē jǐn zhāng 。
他们齐齐躬身行礼道，脸上的神情微微有些紧张。
They bowed together with slightly tense expressions. The fact that even the top officials of Cunyun Sea treated this matter so seriously indicated that they must be dealing with a significant figure!
néng ràng cóng yún hǎi de yī èr bǎ shǒu dōu rú cǐ shèn zhòng duì dài de ， jué duì shì liǎo bù dé de dà rén wù ！
能让丛云海的一二把手都如此慎重对待的，绝对是了不得的大人物！
The cultivators gathered on the island were shocked and curious, speculating about why Chief Lu would visit such a remote place.
cǐ kè fǔ shēn chuí shǒu de yī zhòng xiū shì men ， xīn zhōng zhèn jīng de tóng shí ， yě chōng mǎn le hào qí 。
此刻俯身垂首的一众修士们，心中震惊的同时，也充满了好奇。
Could it all have to do with the mysterious green light?
fēn fēn àn zì cāi cè ， lù shǒu xí cǐ děng cún zài ， wèi hé huì jià lín cóng yún hǎi zhè yàng de biān chuí zhī dì 。
纷纷暗自猜测，陆首席此等存在，为何会驾临丛云海这样的边陲之地。
"Enough formalities. Let's get down to business."
nán dào jiù shì wèi le zhè mò míng chū xiàn de lǜ guāng ？
难道就是为了这莫名出现的绿光？
Lu Xichan glanced at the crowd of cultivators below and said coldly, "From now on, seal off Wanshenshan Island. No one is allowed to leave without my command."
“ bù bì duō lǐ le ， bàn zhèng shì yào jǐn 。”
“不必多礼了，办正事要紧。”
She pointed towards the sky.
lù xī chán piē le yǎn xià fāng wàn xiān dǎo de zhòng xiū shì men ， lěng lěng shuō dào ：“ jí kè qǐ ， fēng suǒ wàn xiān dǎo 。 méi yǒu wǒ de mìng lìng ， rèn hé rén dōu bù xǔ lí kāi 。”
陆溪婵瞥了眼下方万仙岛的众修士们，冷冷说道：“即刻起，封锁万仙岛。没有我的命令，任何人都不许离开。”
Transparent patterns spread from the center, quickly enveloping the entire island.
shuō zhe ， tā cháo zhe tiān kōng yī zhǐ 。
说着，她朝着天空一指。
"I have already applied for a disruption in communication between this place and the outside world. Ordinary communication methods are also being blocked by me."
tòu míng de wén lù yán zhe zhōng xīn màn yán ， hěn kuài jiù jiāng zhěng zuò dǎo yǔ lǒng zhào zài nèi 。
透明的纹路沿着中心蔓延，很快就将整座岛屿笼罩在内。
"Until everything is thoroughly investigated, you need to maintain order on the island."
“ wǒ yǐ jīng shēn qǐng ， zhōng duàn le cǐ chù tiān xuán jìng hé wài jiè de lián xì 。 xún cháng tōng xùn shǒu duàn yě bèi wǒ píng bì le 。”
“我已经申请，中断了此处天玄镜和外界的联系。寻常通讯手段也被我屏蔽了。”
Hong Xi understood the severity of the situation and nodded in agreement.
“ zài shì qíng chè dǐ diào chá qīng chǔ zhī qián ， nǐ men xū fù zé wéi hù hǎo dǎo shàng zhì xù 。”
“在事情彻底调查清楚之前，你们需负责维护好岛上秩序。”
The cultivators on Wanshenshan Island exchanged glances, clearly realizing that something significant had happened!
hóng xī wén yán ， yě míng bái liǎo shì qíng de yán zhòng xìng 。
鸿曦闻言，也明白了事情的严重性。
The entire island was now sealed off—no one could enter or leave. Such a grand display of power must be unprecedented since the establishment of Wanshenshan Island!
dāng jí diǎn tóu yīng xià 。
当即点头应下。
Li Fan, hiding among the crowd, felt somewhat uneasy.
ér tīng dào lù xī chán de huà ， dǎo shàng de xiū shì men quán dōu miàn miàn xiāng qù 。
而听到陆溪婵的话，岛上的修士们全都面面相觑。
The events in this world were far more unexpected than he had anticipated. He originally just wanted to fool over the investigation by the Wanshen Alliance as a mere charlatan.
kàn lái zhēn chū dà shì le ！
看来真出大事了！
He hadn't expected that Gong Sun Qixuan was not just a name in vain; he actually derived something from "Heavenly Xuan Locks Spirit, Xuanhuang Unites". This had even triggered green energy similar to the Xuan Network.
zhěng zuò dǎo yǔ dōu bèi fēng suǒ ， zhǔn jìn bù zhǔn chū 。
整座岛屿都被封锁，准进不准出。
More unexpectedly, the disturbance on the other side of the world had caught Chief Lu's attention instantly. She had come across from another state and sealed off Wanshenshan Island.
zhè yàng dà de zhèn zhàng ， kǒng pà hái shì wàn xiān dǎo jiàn lì yǐ lái dì yī cì ！
这样大的阵仗，恐怕还是万仙岛建立以来第一次！
"Let's just take it one step at a time. If we can safely pass this test, things will return to our control," Li Fan said with narrowed eyes, adjusting his original plans in his mind.
duǒ zài rén qún zhōng de lǐ fán ， xīn zhōng yě yǒu diǎn fā xū 。
躲在人群中的李凡，心中也有点发虚。
After Lu Xichan took over the island, black-robed cultivators arrived through teleportation arrays and spread across Wanshenshan Island, patrolling and monitoring. The cultivators were divided into groups for questioning.
cǐ shì de shì tài fā zhǎn ， shí zài dà dà chū hū tā de yì liào zhī wài 。
此世的事态发展，实在大大出乎他的意料之外。
The first to be interrogated were naturally the survivors of the martial arts hall's anomaly. As the instigator of this event, Li Fan was the first target for interrogation.
yuán běn zhǐ xiǎng zhe zhuāng zhuāng shén gùn ， hù nòng guò wàn xiān méng de diào chá 。
原本只想着装装神棍，糊弄过万仙盟的调查。
Fortunately, he didn't have to face Lu Xichan herself.
méi xiǎng dào nà gōng sūn qǐ xuán dàng zhēn bú shì làng dé xū míng ， jìng rán zhēn de gēn jù 【 tiān xuán suǒ líng ， xuán huáng guī yī tǒng 】 tuī yǎn chū lái le shén me 。
没想到那公孙启玄当真不是浪得虚名，竟然真的根据【天玄锁灵，玄黄归一统】推衍出来了什么。
However, there seemed to be an invisible gaze lingering on him. Li Fan did not let his guard down, maintaining a pale expression as if still recovering from his injuries.
hái yǐn dòng le gēn xuán wǎng lèi sì de lǜ sè néng liàng 。
还引动了跟玄网类似的绿色能量。
He truthfully recounted what had happened in the martial arts hall.
gèng méi xiǎng dào de shì ， wàn wàn lǐ zhī wài de yì dòng ， jìng rán qǐng kè jiān xī yǐn le lù xī chán de zhù yì lì 。
更没想到的是，万万里之外的异动，竟然顷刻间吸引了陆溪婵的注意力。
"After deriving that phrase, I suffered backlash from the Heavenly Will."
zhí jiē kuà zhōu ér lái ， jiāng wàn xiān dǎo fēng suǒ 。
直接跨州而来，将万仙岛封锁。
"As for what Elder Gong Sun saw and why he could trigger such terrifying green light, I'm not sure."
“ zhǐ néng xiān zǒu yī bù kàn yī bù le ， rú guǒ néng ān rán wú yàng dù guò zhè yī guān ， shì tài jiù néng zhòng huí zhǎng kòng 。” lǐ fán shuāng yǎn wēi mī ， xīn zhōng duì yuán běn de móu huà zuò qǐ le tiáo zhěng 。
“只能先走一步看一步了，如果能安然无恙渡过这一关，事态就能重回掌控。”李凡双眼微眯，心中对原本的谋划做起了调整。
Li Fan coughed, looking innocent and shifting all blame onto Gong Sun Qixuan.
lù xī chán jiē guǎn wàn xiān dǎo hòu ， lù xù yǒu hēi yī xiū shì tōng guò chuán sòng zhèn dào dá le wàn xiān dǎo 。
陆溪婵接管万仙岛后，陆续有黑衣修士通过传送阵到达了万仙岛。
The three interrogators asked some details before bringing him to a small black room deep within the administrative hall, where he was detained.
shēn shàng mí màn zhe huī sàn bù qù de shā qì ， fēn liè yú dǎo shàng gè dì ， xún luó jiān shì 。
身上弥漫着挥散不去的杀气，分列于岛上各地，巡逻监视。
Li Fan cooperated fully throughout.
ér xiū shì men yě bèi fēn chéng le yī pī pī ， àn zhào cì xù jiē shòu shěn wèn 。
而修士们也被分成了一批批，按照次序接受审问。
Isolated from the outside world, Li Fan closed his eyes to practice cultivation.
zuì xiān jiē shòu shěn chá de ， zì rán jiù shì yǎn wǔ táng yì biàn zhōng de xìng cún zhě 。
最先接受审查的，自然就是演武堂异变中的幸存者。
Meanwhile, on Tanan Island, "Zhou Qingang" quietly left the island's protective array and went to meet the person who had agreed to a face-to-face meeting with him.
ér lǐ fán yòu zuò wéi cǐ cì shì jiàn de shǐ zuò yǒng zhě ， yě shì dì yí gè jiē shòu shěn xùn de mù biāo 。
而李凡又作为此次事件的始作俑者，也是第一个接受审讯的目标。
"Boss, something big has happened!"
hǎo zài xū yào miàn duì de bú shì lù xī chán běn rén 。
好在需要面对的不是陆溪婵本人。
Before the other party could question him, Li Fan launched into the story.
bù guò sì hū yǐn yǐn néng gòu chá jué dào yǒu shì xiàn ruò yǒu ruò wú de luò zài zì jǐ shēn shàng ， lǐ fán yě méi yǒu diào yǐ qīng xīn 。
不过似乎隐隐能够察觉到有视线若有若无的落在自己身上，李凡也没有掉以轻心。
"Eh... Don't panic, tell me slowly!" the facemask scolded.
miàn sè cǎn bái ， zhuāng zuò hái méi cóng gāng gāng de shāng shì zhōng fù yuán yàng zi 。
面色惨白，装作还没从刚刚的伤势中复原样子。
"There seems to be a major incident on Wanshenshan Island. Since just now, we've completely lost contact with the cultivators there!" Li Fan's frightened tone tinged with excitement.
lǐ fán rú shí jiāo dài le zhī qián zài yǎn wǔ táng nèi fā shēng de shì qíng 。
李凡如实交待了之前在演武堂内发生的事情。
"And before coming here, I investigated. Before the island was sealed off, someone saw a rainbow light cross states and descend onto Wanshenshan Island."
“ tuī yǎn chū jù huà hòu ， wǒ jiù shòu dào le tiān jī fǎn shì 。”
“推衍出句话后，我就受到了天机反噬。”
"This seal must be related to that rainbow light!" Li Fan said urgently.
“ zhì yú gōng sūn zhǎng lǎo dào dǐ kàn dào le shén me ， yòu wèi hé néng yǐn dòng chū nà kě bù de lǜ guāng ， wǒ jiù bù qīng chǔ le 。”
“至于公孙长老到底看到了什么，又为何能引动出那可怖的绿光，我就不清楚了。”
The facemask was stunned by this sudden news.
lǐ fán ké sòu le shēng ， yī liǎn wú gū ， jiāng guō quán dōu shuǎi gěi le gōng sūn qǐ xuán 。
李凡咳嗽了声，一脸无辜，将锅全都甩给了公孙启玄。
After a long silence, he seemed to verify the information's accuracy before exclaiming in shock, "It's really true!"
fù zé shěn wèn de sān wèi xiū shì yòu xún wèn le xiē xì jié ， cái jiāng lǐ fán dài dào bù zhèng táng shēn chù de yī jiān xiǎo hēi wū nèi ， guān yā qǐ lái 。
负责审问的三位修士又询问了些细节，才将李凡带到布政堂深处的一间小黑屋内，关押起来。
"What is the Wanshenshan Alliance doing?!"
lǐ fán yě shì cóng tóu zhì wěi shí fēn pèi hé de yàng zi 。
李凡也是从头至尾十分配合的样子。
"Wait... That rainbow light..."
xiǎo hēi wū nèi yǔ wài jiè gé jué ， wú fǎ dé zhī wàn xiān dǎo shàng fā shēng zhī shì 。
小黑屋内与外界隔绝，无法得知万仙岛上发生之事。
"Lu Xichan!"
lǐ fán suǒ xìng bì mù xiū xíng qǐ lái 。
李凡索性闭目修行起来。
The facemask's voice rose several octaves.
yú cǐ tóng shí ， tài ān dǎo 。
于此同时，泰安岛。
"Boss, who is Lu Xichan?" Li Fan immediately pretended to be very curious and asked.
fēn shēn “ zhōu qīng áng ” qiǎo rán lí kāi le hù dǎo dà zhèn ， qián wǎng le hé duàn shí rén liǎn yuē dìng jiàn miàn de dì fāng 。
分身“周青昂”悄然离开了护岛大阵，前往了和断石人脸约定见面的地方。
"The Chief of the Strategy Array Hall in the Wanshenshan Alliance—she’s a truly significant figure. Why would she come here?" The facemask's voice was filled with both doubt and excitement.
“ tóu ， chū dà shì le ！”
“头，出大事了！”
Like a hungry wolf encountering prey, he keenly sensed that there must be some earth-shattering secrets hidden in this event.
bù děng duì miàn fā lái zhì wèn ， lǐ fán jiù xiān fā zhì rén 。
不等对面发来质问，李凡就先发制人。
"If we can figure it out...
“ é …… huāng shén me ， màn màn shuō ！” rén liǎn xùn chì dào 。
“额……慌什么，慢慢说！”人脸训斥道。
"Boss, is this our chance to make a name for ourselves!" Li Fan pretended to have an epiphany and asked along with him.
“ wàn xiān dǎo shàng hǎo xiàng yǒu zhòng dà biàn gù fā shēng ， cóng gāng gāng qǐ ， jiù wán quán hé dǎo shàng de xiū shì shī qù le lián xì ！” lǐ fán huáng kǒng de yǔ qì zhōng dài zhe diǎn xīng fèn 。
“万仙岛上好像有重大变故发生，从刚刚起，就完全和岛上的修士失去了联系！”李凡惶恐的语气中带着点兴奋。
"Exactly! We need to thoroughly investigate why she came here!" the facemask said sternly.
“ bìng qiě ， lái zhī qián ， wǒ dǎ tàn le yī fān 。 zài dǎo yǔ bèi fēng suǒ zhī qián ， yǒu rén kàn dào yī dào hóng guāng zì wàn xiān méng zhōng yāng kuà zhōu ér lái ， jiàng lín zhì wàn xiān dǎo shàng 。”
“并且，来之前，我打探了一番。在岛屿被封锁之前，有人看到一道虹光自万仙盟中央跨州而来，降临至万仙岛上。”
"But Wanshenshan Island seems to only allow entry now. Communications are also sealed off. Figuring out what's happening inside is going to be difficult..." Li Fan frowned, expressing his frustration.
“ zhè cì fēng suǒ ， kěn dìng gēn zhè dào hóng guāng tuō bù liǎo gān xì ！” lǐ fán lián shēng shuō dào 。
“这次封锁，肯定跟这道虹光脱不了干系！”李凡连声说道。
Suddenly, he seemed to recall something and became animated, "Boss, I have an immature idea."
rén liǎn yě bèi zhè tū rú qí lái de xiāo xī gěi hǔ zhù le 。
人脸也被这突如其来的消息给唬住了。
"Oh? Tell me."
chén jì le xǔ jiǔ ， shì shì zài yàn zhèng xiāo xī de zhǔn què xìng 。
沉寂了许久，似是在验证消息的准确性。
"Remember the guy who sold us the Wanshenshan Alliance entry exam questions—He Zhenghao. Maybe he has a solution!"
guò le huì ， tā yǒu xiē zhèn jīng dào ：“ jū rán shì zhēn de ！”
过了会，他有些震惊道：“居然是真的！”
"He Zhenghao..." The facemask pondered for a moment before nodding slightly.
“ wàn xiān méng zài gǎo xiē shén me ？！”
“万仙盟在搞些什么？！”
"You can try there first. I'll think of other ways too."
“ děng děng …… zhè dào hóng guāng ……”
“等等……这道虹光……”
"If we get results, contact me again," the facemask said to Li Fan.
“ lù xī chán ！”
“陆溪婵！”
"Understood." As the light from Dantu Island faded, Li Fan quickly left.
rén liǎn de shēng yīn dùn shí tí gāo le jǐ dù 。
人脸的声音顿时提高了几度。
He went to Ruli Island and had a cup of tea with He Zhenghao before returning swiftly.
“ tóu ， lù xī chán shì shuí ？” lǐ fán lì mǎ zhuāng zuò yī fù shí fēn hào qí de yàng zi ， chū shēng wèn dào 。
“头，陆溪婵是谁？”李凡立马装作一副十分好奇的样子，出声问道。
"There's hope!" Li Fan said excitedly.
“ wàn xiān méng cè zhèn táng shǒu xí ， nà kě shì zhēn zhèng liǎo bù dé de dà rén wù 。 tā zěn me huì lái cóng yún hǎi ？” rén liǎn de shēng yīn zhōng ， yǒu yí huò 、 yě yǒu kàng fèn 。
“万仙盟策阵堂首席，那可是真正了不得的大人物。她怎么会来丛云海？”人脸的声音中，有疑惑、也有亢奋。
"What?" The facemask was surprised by "Zhou Qingang"'s efficiency. He hadn't expected that He Zhenghao would have information about the sealed-off Wanshenshan Island.
rú tóng è láng yù jiàn le liè wù ， tā mǐn ruì de chá jué dào ， zhè chǎng shì jiàn zhōng ， dìng rán yǒu shén me jīng tiān de yǐn mì cún zài 。
如同饿狼遇见了猎物，他敏锐的察觉到，这场事件中，定然有什么惊天的隐秘存在。
"What did he say," the facemask asked in a low voice.
ruò shì néng gǎo qīng chǔ ……
若是能搞清楚……
"He wants one million contribution points!" Li Fan hesitated for a moment before whispering.
Lu Xichan looked at the Wanshenshan Island, which had already turned into a void after the martial arts hall was destroyed. Her frown deepened slightly.
Fine green threads appeared,缠绕 around her fingertips.
She stared at this familiar yet unfamiliar green light, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.
Even though Cunyun Sea was a remote place, not many cultivators knew Lu Xichan's identity.
But under the pressure, she remained silent, and Wanshenshan Island fell into complete silence.
Cultivators dared not look directly at her figure; instead, they bowed their heads in a manner like Li Fan did.
Meanwhile, they were guessing the identity of this female cultivator in their hearts.
Finally, two figures flew out from the central administrative hall on the island and approached her.
One male and one female—these were Purple Cloud and Hong Xi, the only two Immortal Kings who had transformed in Cunyun Sea.
"Salutations to Chief Lu!"
They bowed together with slightly tense expressions. The fact that even the top officials of Cunyun Sea treated this matter so seriously indicated that they must be dealing with a significant figure!
The cultivators gathered on the island were shocked and curious, speculating about why Chief Lu would visit such a remote place.

"Enough formalities. Let's get down to business."
Lu Xichan glanced at the crowd of cultivators below and said coldly, "From now on, seal off Wanshenshan Island. No one is allowed to leave without my command."

Transparent patterns spread from the center, quickly enveloping the entire island.
"I have already applied for a disruption in communication between this place and the outside world. Ordinary communication methods are also being blocked by me."
