“《 tài shàng yuán shǐ zhēn jīng 》 nǎi shì tài shàng zōng bù chuán zhī mì ， bái xiān shēng yòu zěn me huì zhī xiǎo ？ nán bù chéng gēn chuán fǎ yī yàng ， dōu shì shàng mén qiáng qiǎng ér lái ？ kě nà shì chuán fǎ yǐ jīng nì tiān dì zhī lǐ 、 chéng jiù cháng shēng tiān zūn zhī hòu cái néng zuò dào de shì qíng 。 bái xiān shēng suī rán qiáng ， dàn yě sì hū hái méi dá dào cháng shēng jìng jiè ba ？”
“《太上原始真经》乃是太上宗不传之秘，白先生又怎么会知晓？难不成跟传法一样，都是上门强抢而来？可那是传法已经逆天地之理、成就长生天尊之后才能做到的事情。白先生虽然强，但也似乎还没达到长生境界吧？”
"Supreme Primordial True Scripture is a secret that the Supreme Original Sect does not pass on. How could Mr. Bai possibly know about it? Could it be that, like transmitting the teachings, he forcibly seized it from someone?"
lǐ fán xīn zhōng shà shí yǒng qǐ gèng duō yí huò 。
李凡心中霎时涌起更多疑惑。
Li Fan's mind was filled with more doubts.
jiù zài zhè xiē xǔ gōng fu ， xǔ kè yǐ jīng jiāng zì shēn 《 yù shòu jué 》 gōng fǎ sàn qù 。
就在这些许功夫，许克已经将自身《御兽决》功法散去。
In just a short while, Xu Ke had already dispelled his own "Beast Taming Technique" cultivation method.
“ xiǎo hēi nǐ kàn ， hǎo shén qí yé ！ xiū wèi zhēn de hái zài dān tián zhī zhōng ！” xǔ kè pǒ yǒu xiē xīng fèn de cháo zhe lǐ fán jiào rǎng dào 。
“小黑你看，好神奇耶！修为真的还在丹田之中！”许克颇有些兴奋的朝着李凡叫嚷道。
"Little Black, look! It's so amazing! Your cultivation is still in your dantian!" Xu Ke shouted excitedly to Li Fan.
tīng dào xǔ kè de huà ， lǐ fán què bù xiàng xiān qián nà bān ， gǎn dào qīn nì 。 ér shì yī mǒ xīng hóng hū de zì yǎn zhōng shǎn guò ， xīn zhōng dǒu rán jiān shēng chū yī gǔ lì qì 。 běn néng de qū shǐ xià ， jiù yào bǎ yǎn qián zhè ge chǎo rǎng de xiǎo dōng xī gěi sī chéng suì piàn 。
听到许克的话，李凡却不像先前那般，感到亲昵。而是一抹猩红忽的自眼中闪过，心中陡然间生出一股戾气。本能的驱使下，就要把眼前这个吵嚷的小东西给撕成碎片。
Hearing Xu Ke's words, Li Fan didn't feel the same affection as before. Instead, a sudden red flash appeared in his eyes, and he suddenly felt a surge of viciousness. Driven by instinct, he was about to tear this noisy little thing into pieces.
hǎo zài rú jīn kòng zhì zhè jù shēn qū de bú shì xuán niǎo běn shēn ， ér shì lǐ fán 。 suǒ yǐ jǐn jǐn shì piàn kè zhī hòu ， lǐ fán jiù huī fù le zhèng cháng 。
好在如今控制这具身躯的不是玄鸟本身，而是李凡。所以仅仅是片刻之后，李凡就恢复了正常。
Fortunately, it wasn't Xuanniao itself controlling this body but Li Fan. So after just a moment, Li Fan returned to normal.
xǔ kè hún rán bù zhī zì jǐ yǐ jīng zài guǐ mén guān qián zǒu le yī zāo ， fǎn ér shǎ shǎ dì lián máng còu shàng lái ， zài lǐ fán shēn shàng mō lái mō qù 。 hái guān qiè wú bǐ de wèn dào ：“ xiǎo hēi nǐ zěn me le ？ gāng gāng de yàng zi hǎo xià rén ！”
许克浑然不知自己已经在鬼门关前走了一遭，反而傻傻地连忙凑上来，在李凡身上摸来摸去。还关切无比的问道：“小黑你怎么了？刚刚的样子好吓人！”
Xu Ke had no idea he had almost died and instead hurriedly approached, feeling around on Li Fan's body. He asked anxiously, "Little Black, what happened? You looked scary back there!"
“ nǐ xiàn zài hái shì lí wǒ yuǎn diǎn hǎo 。 yào bù rán ， wǒ kě bù gǎn bǎo zhèng xià cì hái néng kòng zhì zhù 、 bú duì nǐ dòng shǒu 。” lǐ fán piē shì zhe xǔ kè ， dòng hè dào 。
“你现在还是离我远点好。要不然，我可不敢保证下次还能控制住、不对你动手。”李凡瞥视着许克，恫吓道。
"Stay away from me now. Otherwise, I can't guarantee that I'll be able to control myself next time." Li Fan glared at Xu Ke.
fǎng fú yìn zhèng le lǐ fán de huà ， yù shòu zōng nèi ， cǐ qǐ bǐ fú de xiǎng qǐ le yāo shòu de páo xiào yǔ xiū shì de cǎn hū shēng 。
仿佛印证了李凡的话，御兽宗内，此起彼伏的响起了妖兽的咆孝与修士的惨呼声。
It seemed to confirm Li Fan's words as the Beast Taming Sect was filled with the roars of beasts and the cries of cultivators.
】
】
"I am naturally ferocious and view humans as food. But earlier, it was controlled by the Beast Taming Technique, suppressing my nature. Now that the restraint has suddenly vanished, those beasts that have spent a long time with cultivators might still be okay since they've developed some feelings. However, for those newly trained beasts, once freed, they'll likely attack their original masters first." Li Fan said coldly.
“ wǒ děng tiān xìng xiōng lì ， shì rén lèi wèi kǒu liáng 。 bù guò xiān qián bèi yù shòu jué kòng zhì 、 yā yì le běn xìng ér yǐ 。 rú jīn shù fù zhòu rán xiāo chú ， nà xiē hé xiū shì xiāng chǔ le jiào zhǎng shí jiān de yāo shòu hái hǎo ， bì jìng péi yǎng chū le yī xiē gǎn qíng 。 ér nà xiē pǔ tōng dì zǐ gāng péi yǎng le bù jiǔ de yāo shòu ， pà bú shì yí dàn chóng huò zì yóu ， shǒu xiān jiù yào gōng jī yuán běn de zhǔ rén 。” lǐ fán lěng shēng dào 。
“我等天性凶戾，视人类为口粮。不过先前被御兽决控制、压抑了本性而已。如今束缚骤然消除，那些和修士相处了较长时间的妖兽还好，毕竟培养出了一些感情。而那些普通弟子刚培养了不久的妖兽，怕不是一旦重获自由，首先就要攻击原本的主人。”李凡冷声道。
The cries of disciples continued. Xu Ke looked outside and seemed to see the bloody scene, his face turning pale: "It's really terrifying! The patriarchs didn't think about this beforehand?"
dì zǐ de cǎn jiào bù duàn xiǎng qǐ ， xǔ kè cháo wài wàng le yī yǎn ， sì hū qiáo jiàn le nà xuè xīng de chǎng jǐng ， liǎn sè yǒu xiē fā bái ：“ zhēn shì tài xià rén le ！ zhǎng mén tā men jū rán shì xiān méi yǒu xiǎng dào zhè yì diǎn ？”
弟子的惨叫不断响起，许克朝外望了一眼，似乎瞧见了那血腥的场景，脸色有些发白：“真是太吓人了！掌门他们居然事先没有想到这一点？”
He then put on a silly grin and approached again: "But I'm so good to you, Little Black, so there shouldn't be any danger."
suí hòu yòu huàn le fù xī pí xiào liǎn de miàn kǒng ， còu le shàng lái ：“ bù guò wǒ duì xiǎo hēi nǐ zhè me hǎo ， yīng gāi bú huì yǒu shén me wēi xiǎn ba 。”
随后又换了副嬉皮笑脸的面孔，凑了上来：“不过我对小黑你这么好，应该不会有什么危险吧。”
Li Fan felt the vicious energy within him, temporarily suppressed but never dissipating, ready to erupt at any moment. He remained silent.
lǐ fán gǎn shòu zhe tǐ nèi suī rán zàn shí bèi yā zhì 、 dàn shì què gēn běn méi yǒu xiāo sàn ， ér shì suí shí kě néng zài dù bào qǐ de xiōng shà zhī qì ， mò rán bù yǔ 。
李凡感受着体内虽然暂时被压制、但是却根本没有消散，而是随时可能再度暴起的凶煞之气，默然不语。
It seemed he knew why Xiao Heng would eventually separate from Xu Ke in history.
tā sì hū zhī dào lì shǐ shàng xiǎo hēi zuì zhōng huì yǔ xǔ kè fēn lí de yuán yīn le 。
他似乎知道历史上小黑最终会与许克分离的原因了。
Just as he had explained to Xu Ke, beasts were naturally ferocious and couldn't coexist peacefully with humans. Even if initially, they could suppress their murderous intent through the long-term bond formed by constant interaction.
zhèng rú tā gēn xǔ kè jiě shì de yī yàng ， yāo shòu tiān xìng xiōng cán ， nán yǐ gēn rén lèi hé píng gòng chǔ 。 jí biàn zuì chū ， néng gòu kào zhe shuāng fāng jiān yīn cháng nián xiāng chǔ ér péi yǎng chū de qíng gǎn ， jiāng shā yì yī cì yòu yī cì de yā xià qù 。
正如他跟许克解释的一样，妖兽天性凶残，难以跟人类和平共处。即便最初，能够靠着双方间因常年相处而培养出的情感，将杀意一次又一次的压下去。
But over time, the accumulated hatred would eventually overwhelm them. Once it erupted, any bonds would be as fragile as paper.
dàn cháng cǐ yǐ wǎng ， shā yì bù duàn jī xù ， zhōng yǒu yī rì huì zài yě yā zhì bú zhù 。 yí dàn chè dǐ bào fā ， suǒ wèi de jī bàn ， pà bú shì rú zhǐ bān cuì ruò 。
但长此以往，杀意不断积蓄，终有一日会再也压制不住。一旦彻底爆发，所谓的羁绊，怕不是如纸般脆弱。
The vast difference in power between beasts and Beast Taming Sect cultivators also meant that any失控 situation would result in the cultivators' inevitable death.
ér yāo shòu hé yù shòu zōng xiū shì zhī jiān jù dà de shí lì chā jù ， yě dǎo zhì le rú guǒ chū xiàn shī kòng de biàn gù ， xiū shì bì rán zhǐ yǒu cǎn sǐ shēn yǔn de xià chǎng 。
而妖兽和御兽宗修士之间巨大的实力差距，也导致了如果出现失控的变故，修士必然只有惨死身陨的下场。
"Is this why the [Beast Taming Technique] persists? Because the Xuanniao Little Black couldn't control its killing emotions, leading to separation from master Xu Ke. No more meetings since then?"
“ nán dào zhè jiù shì wéi chí 【 yù shòu zōng zhī biàn 】 de zhí niàn ？ yīn wèi tiān mìng xuán niǎo xiǎo hēi wú fǎ kòng zhì zì shēn shā lù qíng xù ， zuì zhōng dǎo zhì gēn zhǔ rén xǔ kè fēn lí 。 zì cóng zài wú xiāng jiàn zhī rì ？”
“难道这就是维持【御兽宗之变】的执念？因为天命玄鸟小黑无法控制自身杀戮情绪，最终导致跟主人许克分离。自从再无相见之日？”
"If so, perhaps there's a way to resolve this执念." A thought suddenly surfaced in Li Fan's mind.
“ rú guǒ shì zhè yàng ， huò xǔ zhè cì jiù yǒu jiě jué qí zhí niàn de fāng fǎ 。” yí gè niàn tou mò míng fú xiàn zài lǐ fán xīn zhōng 。
“如果是这样，或许这次就有解决其执念的方法。”一个念头莫名浮现在李凡心中。
With the "Xuanhuang Immortal Heart Spell" within him, Li Fan had far greater self-control than beasts. He was confident that even if his murderous intent surged like a massive wave, his will would remain unshakable, always restraining it.
shēn huái 【 xuán huáng xiān xīn zhòu 】， lǐ fán de zì kòng néng lì yuǎn bú shì yāo shòu néng bǐ de 。 lǐ fán yǒu bǎ wò ， jí biàn shā yì rú tóng tāo tāo jù làng ， bù duàn bēn yǒng xí lái 。 tā de xīn zhì yě huì rú tóng jiān bù kě cuī de dà bà ， shǐ zhōng jiāng qí láo láo è zhì 。
身怀【玄黄仙心咒】，李凡的自控能力远不是妖兽能比的。李凡有把握，即便杀意如同滔滔巨浪，不断奔涌袭来。他的心志也会如同坚不可摧的大坝，始终将其牢牢扼制。
As he pondered, Li Fan didn't directly answer Xu Ke's question but instead said with a cold smile: "That creature called the Three-Claws of the Emperor claims to be wise. How could he not consider this situation?"
sī niàn zhuǎn dòng jiān ， lǐ fán méi yǒu zhèng miàn huí dá xǔ kè de wèn tí 。
思念转动间，李凡没有正面回答许克的问题。
"Then…?" Xu Ke's eyes widened as he heard that.
ér shì lěng xiào zhe shuō dào ：“ dì sān mò nà jiā huo hào chēng zhì huì zhī shòu ， yǒu tā zài ， zěn me kě néng bú huì kǎo lǜ dào xiàn zài zhè ge chǎng miàn 。”
而是冷笑着说道：“帝三貘那家伙号称智慧之兽，有他在，怎么可能不会考虑到现在这个场面。”
"A major calamity has just begun, and one of the Ten Immortal Sects, the Beast Taming Sect, is preparing to flee. This would be a massive blow to all cultivators in the world. The other sects wouldn't agree with this either; they'll definitely try to stop it."
“ nà hái ……” xǔ kè wén yán ， dùn shí dèng dà le yǎn jīng 。
“那还……”许克闻言，顿时瞪大了眼睛。
"We must give an explanation to the Xuanhuang Realm and its cultivation world. How can we explain that our disciples self-destructed, causing heavy losses to the sect? After all, the bloodshed is real and can't be faked."
“ dà jié gāng qǐ ， xiān dào shí zōng zhī yī de yù shòu zōng ， jiù yào zhǔn bèi pǎo lù le 。 chuán chū qù ， zhè duì tiān xià xiū shì ér yán ， gāi shì hé děng dǎ jī 。 xiān dào shí zōng qí tā zōng mén ， yě duō bàn bú huì tóng yì cǐ jǔ ， bì huì chū miàn zǔ náo 。”
“大劫刚起，仙道十宗之一的御兽宗，就要准备跑路了。传出去，这对天下修士而言，该是何等打击。仙道十宗其他宗门，也多半不会同意此举，必会出面阻挠。”
"Also, it can serve as a cover for our evacuation from this small world." Li Fan explained.
“ zì rán yào gěi xuán huáng jiè xiū xiān jiè yí gè jiāo dài cái shì 。 yīn wèi fǎ bù kě tóng xiū ， zhū dì zǐ zì xiāng cán shā 、 zōng mén sǔn shī cǎn zhòng rú hé ？ bì jìng zhè mǎn dì de xuè xīng qì ， kě shì zuò bù liǎo jiǎ 。”
“自然要给玄黄界修仙界一个交代才是。因为法不可同修，诸弟子自相残杀、宗门损失惨重如何？毕竟这满地的血腥气，可是做不了假。”
Xu Ke shivered: "Your thoughts are truly terrifying."
“ zhèng hǎo hái kě yǐ wèi chè lí xiǎo shì jiè zuò zhē yǎn 。” lǐ fán kǎn kǎn ér tán dào 。
“正好还可以为撤离小世界做遮掩。”李凡侃侃而谈道。
He then stared at Li Fan with confusion on his face. "But when did you become so smart? Did you eat some heavenly treasures recently? That doesn't make sense, I've always been watching you…"
xǔ kè bù jīn dǎ le gè hán zhàn ：“ dà rén de xīn sī zhēn shì tài kě pà le 。”
许克不禁打了个寒颤：“大人的心思真是太可怕了。”
Hearing Xu Ke's words, a surge of savage killing intent rose in Li Fan's heart. He gave the other a hard swipe to vent slightly before calming down.
jì ér ， tā yòu dīng zhe lǐ fán ， liǎn shàng mǎn shì yí huò ：“ bù guò ， xiǎo hēi nǐ shén me shí hòu biàn dé zhè me cōng míng liǎo ？ shì zuì jìn yòu tōu chī le shén me tiān cái dì bǎo ma ？ bù yīng gāi a ， wǒ kě shì yì zhí děng kàn zhe nǐ ne ……”
继而，他又盯着李凡，脸上满是疑惑：“不过，小黑你什么时候变得这么聪明了？是最近又偷吃了什么天材地宝吗？不应该啊，我可是一直等看着你呢……”
The chaos within the Beast Taming Sect lasted for three or four days.
lǐ fán tīng jiàn xǔ kè de huà ， xīn zhōng yòu bù miǎn yǒng qǐ yī zhèn bào nüè de shā yì 。 hěn hěn gěi le duì fāng yī zhuǎ zi ， fā xiè shǎo xǔ de tóng shí ， cái huǎn huǎn jiāng qí zhèn yā 。
李凡听见许克的话，心中又不免涌起一阵暴虐的杀意。狠狠给了对方一爪子，发泄少许的同时，才缓缓将其镇压。
Although many low-level disciples were injured or killed, the out-of-control beasts were quickly recaptured and confined. The core members of the sect, including elite disciples and elders, remained unaffected.
yù shòu zōng nèi de sāo luàn zú zú chí xù le sān sì tiān 。
御兽宗内的骚乱足足持续了三四天。
The plan to evacuate from the Xuanhuang Realm was proceeding smoothly.
suī rán yǒu dà pī jī céng dì zǐ sǐ shāng ， dàn shì shī kòng de yāo shòu hěn kuài jiù bèi chóng xīn zhuō ná 、 guān yā 。 ér bāo kuò jīng ruì dì zǐ 、 yǐ jí zhū zhǎng lǎo zài nèi de mén pài zhōng jiān lì liàng ， zàn shí méi yǒu shòu dào shén me yǐng xiǎng 。
虽然有大批基层弟子死伤，但是失控的妖兽很快就被重新捉拿、关押。而包括精锐弟子、以及诸长老在内的门派中坚力量，暂时没有受到什么影响。
During this process, Li Fan learned another reason why the Beast Taming Sect urgently wanted to leave from conversations with inner sect disciples.
chè lí xuán huáng jiè de jì huà ， zhèng zài yǒu tiáo bù wěn de zhǎn kāi 。
撤离玄黄界的计划，正在有条不紊的展开。
It was to prevent the beasts'疯狂 retaliation.
ér zài zhè ge guò chéng zhōng ， lǐ fán yě cóng mén nèi dì zi jiāo tán de zhī yán piàn yǔ zhōng ， dé zhī le yù shòu zōng pò bù jí dài yào chè lí de lìng wài yí gè yuán yīn 。
而在这个过程中，李凡也从门内弟子交谈的只言片语中，得知了御兽宗迫不及待要撤离的另外一个原因。
If humans and beasts were two different groups in constant competition for resources, then the relationship between the beasts and the Beast Taming Sect was one of life or death.
nà jiù shì wèi le fáng zhǐ yāo shòu men de fēng kuáng bào fù 。
那就是为了防止妖兽们的疯狂报复。
Beasts considered themselves superior to humans and resented being controlled by the Beast Taming Sect through underhanded means.
rú guǒ shuō yāo shòu hé rén lèi ， shì hù yǒu máo dùn 、 hù xiāng jìng zhēng shēng cún zī yuán de liǎng gè bù tóng zú qún 。
如果说妖兽和人类，是互有矛盾、互相竞争生存资源的两个不同族群。
Previously, the Beast Taming Sect was located within human territory with many powerful beasts captured and controlled. Even if some wanted revenge, they were powerless due to their own risk of capture.
nà me yāo shòu gēn yù shòu zōng zhī jiān ， jiù shì bù sǐ bù xiū de guān xì 。
那么妖兽跟御兽宗之间，就是不死不休的关系。
But now, news of the "Incompatible Teachings" calamity would surely spread to the beasts. Vengeful beasts wouldn't miss this opportunity; they'd keep coming.
yāo shòu tiān xìng gāo ào ， zì rèn dì wèi yào zài qū qū rén lèi zhī shàng 。 rán ér ， yù shòu zōng jìng rán yǐ bēi bǐ shǒu duàn ， qū shǐ 、 nú yì yāo shòu 。 zhè duì yú yī zhòng yāo shòu lái shuō ， zì rán shì qí chǐ dà rǔ 。
妖兽天性高傲，自认地位要在区区人类之上。然而，御兽宗竟然以卑鄙手段，驱使、奴役妖兽。这对于一众妖兽来说，自然是奇耻大辱。
It was uncertain whether the Beast Taming Sect could withstand the beasts' retaliation. If a fight broke out, it was unclear which side these freed beasts would support.
yǐ wǎng yù shòu zōng chǔ yú rén lèi lǐng tǔ fù dì ， mén nèi yòu yǒu bù shǎo bèi xiū shì zhuā zǒu 、 kòng zhì de qiáng dà yāo shòu 。
以往御兽宗处于人类领土腹地，门内又有不少被修士抓走、控制的强大妖兽。
To avoid such a terrifying situation, evacuation to a safe area had become urgent.
suǒ yǐ jiù suàn yǒu yāo shòu men xiǎng yào fù cǐ chóu ， yě jī běn yǒu xīn wú lì 。 fǎn dào yǒu zì jǐ bèi huó zhuō wèi nú de fēng xiǎn 。
所以就算有妖兽们想要复此仇，也基本有心无力。反倒有自己被活捉为奴的风险。
"Beast Taming Sect members, only those who pass the [Unity Ring] test can evacuate with us. Those who fail…"
dàn jīn shí bù tóng wǎng rì ，“ fǎ bù kě tóng xiū ” dà jié jiàng lín de xiāo xī ， kěn dìng hěn kuài jiù huì chuán dào yāo shòu nà biān qù 。 yá zì bì bào de yāo shòu men ， yòu qǐ huì fàng guò zhè ge tiān cì de liáng jī ？ dìng rán huì bù duàn zhǎo shàng mén lái 。
但今时不同往日，“法不可同修”大劫降临的消息，肯定很快就会传到妖兽那边去。睚眦必报的妖兽们，又岂会放过这个天赐的良机？定然会不断找上门来。
"Let them go!"
qiě bù shuō yù shòu zōng néng bù néng dǐ dǎng zhù yāo shòu de bào fù 。 dào nà shí hòu shuāng fāng zhēn de sī shā qǐ lái ， yù shòu zōng nèi zhè xiē shī qù zhì gù de yāo shòu men ， dào dǐ huì bāng shuí ， hái zhēn shì bù hǎo shuō 。
且不说御兽宗能不能抵挡住妖兽的报复。到那时候双方真的厮杀起来，御兽宗内这些失去桎梏的妖兽们，到底会帮谁，还真是不好说。
Soon, an announcement spread throughout the entire Beast Taming Sect.
"Supreme Primordial True Scripture is a secret that the Supreme Original Sect does not pass on. How could Mr. Bai possibly know about it? Could it be that, like transmitting the teachings, he forcibly seized it from someone?"
Li Fan's mind was filled with more doubts.
In just a short while, Xu Ke had already dispelled his own "Beast Taming Technique" cultivation method.
"Little Black, look! It's so amazing! Your cultivation is still in your dantian!" Xu Ke shouted excitedly to Li Fan.
Hearing Xu Ke's words, Li Fan didn't feel the same affection as before. Instead, a sudden red flash appeared in his eyes, and he suddenly felt a surge of viciousness. Driven by instinct, he was about to tear this noisy little thing into pieces.
Fortunately, it wasn't Xuanniao itself controlling this body but Li Fan. So after just a moment, Li Fan returned to normal.
Xu Ke had no idea he had almost died and instead hurriedly approached, feeling around on Li Fan's body. He asked anxiously, "Little Black, what happened? You looked scary back there!"
"Stay away from me now. Otherwise, I can't guarantee that I'll be able to control myself next time." Li Fan glared at Xu Ke.
It seemed to confirm Li Fan's words as the Beast Taming Sect was filled with the roars of beasts and the cries of cultivators.

Just as he had explained to Xu Ke, beasts were naturally ferocious and couldn't coexist peacefully with humans. Even if initially, they could suppress their murderous intent through the long-term bond formed by constant interaction.
