shén shí chuān suō zài zhè qī cǎi mó xíng lǐ ， jiù néng fǎng fú qīn shēn yóu lì xī rì de yún shuǐ tiān gōng yì bān 。
神识穿梭在这七彩模型里，就能仿佛亲身游历昔日的云水天宫一般。
Li Fan's spirit consciousness darted through the colorful model, as if he was personally exploring the ancient Cloud Water Heavenly Palace.
chú cǐ zhī wài ， zhè 《 yún shuǐ tú lù 》 sì hū zhēn de jiù méi yǒu shén me qí tā tè bié de zuò yòng le 。
除此之外，这《云水图箓》似乎真的就没有什么其他特别的作用了。
Apart from that, this 'Cloud Water Scroll' seemed to have no other special functions.
“ zhè yún shuǐ tú lù ， huò xǔ jiào yún shuǐ tú lù lái de gèng qià dàng yì diǎn 。”
“这云水图箓，或许叫云水图录来的更恰当一点。”
"This Cloud Water Scroll might be more appropriately called a Cloud Water Record," Li Fan thought, filled with doubts.
“ yòu huò zhě ， zhè lǐ miàn hái yǐn cáng zhe shén me qí tā mì mì ？ yào bù rán ， zěn me huì yǒu rén xuán shǎng shí wàn diǎn gòng xiàn dù ne ？”
“又或者，这里面还隐藏着什么其他秘密？要不然，怎么会有人悬赏十万点贡献度呢？”
However, it wasn't the time for deep investigation at the moment.
lǐ fán xīn zhōng dùn shí yǒng qǐ bù shǎo yí huò 。
李凡心中顿时涌起不少疑惑。
Stowing the colorful model into his storage ring, Li Fan bowed to the tortoise-snake monster. "Master Taiyi, please allow me to leave here. I still have matters to attend to and find my fellow disciple Bai Li Chen."
dàn cǐ shí dào yě bú shì shēn jiū de shí hòu 。
但此时倒也不是深究的时候。
A moment later, Master Taiyi's aged voice echoed: "Yes, good to leave. Good to leave..."
jiāng qī cǎi mó xíng shōu jìn chǔ wù jiè ， lǐ fán duì guī shé guài wù gǒng le gǒng shǒu ：“ tài yī zǔ shī ， yě qǐng wǒ sòng wǒ lí kāi zhè lǐ 。 wǒ hái yǒu shì qù zhǎo bǎi lǐ chén shī dì 。”
将七彩模型收进储物戒，李凡对龟蛇怪物拱了拱手：“太一祖师，也请我送我离开这里。我还有事去找百里尘师弟。”
It was the same reaction as when he sent Bai Li Chen off earlier.
piàn kè hòu ， tài yī cāng lǎo de shēng yīn xiǎng qǐ ：“ ń ， lí kāi hǎo 。 lí kāi hǎo a ……”
片刻后，太一苍老的声音响起：“嗯，离开好。离开好啊……”
A blue light enveloped Li Fan.
què shì gēn gāng cái sòng bǎi lǐ chén lí kāi shí de fǎn yìng yī yàng 。
却是跟刚才送百里尘离开时的反应一样。
Then, his figure vanished.
yī zhèn lán guāng jiāng lǐ fán bāo guǒ 。
一阵蓝光将李凡包裹。
The Taiyi Hall fell into a long silence once more.
suí hòu ， lǐ fán de shēn yǐng yě xiāo shī bú jiàn 。
随后，李凡的身影也消失不见。
After an indeterminate amount of time, a strange sound broke the tranquility.
tài yī diàn qián ， yòu xiàn rù le cháng jiǔ de jì jìng zhī zhōng 。
太一殿前，又陷入了长久的寂静之中。
"Zi... Zi... Zi..."
bù zhī guò le duō jiǔ ， yī zhèn guài yì de shēng yīn ， dǎ pò le zhè piàn níng jìng 。
不知过了多久，一阵怪异的声音，打破了这片宁静。
It sounded like blades grinding against a whetstone or a giant snake shedding its old skin.
“ zī ……”
“兹……”
Each time accompanied by the appearance of countless sword shadows piercing the tortoise-snake monster's body.
“ zī ……”
“兹……”
The Taiyi Hall suddenly sank, forcing the tortoise-snake monster to retract its limbs.
……
……
The two black snakes at the head and tail let out painful hisses as they writhed their grotesque heads back into the Taiyi Hall.
fǎng fú dāo jiàn zài mó dāo shí shàng bù duàn mó cā ， yòu fǎng fú jù shé zài tuì xià zì jǐ de jiù pí 。
仿佛刀剑在磨刀石上不断摩擦，又仿佛巨蛇在褪下自己的旧皮。
"Pain..."
ér měi cì bàn suí zhe shēng xiǎng ， jiù yǒu wú shù dào jiàn de xū yǐng ， cóng xū kōng zhōng chū xiàn ， chā zài guī shé guài wù shēn shàng 。
而每次伴随着声响，就有无数道剑的虚影，从虚空中出现，插在龟蛇怪物身上。
"Pain..."
“ hōng !”
“轰!”
Master Taiyi's aged and deranged voice reverberated throughout the Cloud Water Heavenly Palace like thunder.
tài yī diàn měng dì xià chén ， guī shé guài wù de sì zhī bèi pò suō huí 。
太一殿猛地下沉，龟蛇怪物的四肢被迫缩回。
Various terrifying sounds seemed to emanate from the buildings shrouded in white mist, echoing in response.
nà tóu wěi liǎng tiáo hēi sè jù shé fā chū yī shēng tòng kǔ de sī hǒu ， jiū chán zhe zhēng níng de tóu lú ， fǎn huí tài yī diàn zhōng 。
那头尾两条黑色巨蛇发出一声痛苦的嘶吼，纠缠着狰狞的头颅，返回太一殿中。
The残剑虚影如暴雨般骤然猛烈。
“ tòng a ……”
“痛啊……”
The tortoise-snake monster's figure finally vanished.
tài yī cāng lǎo ér yòu diān kuáng de shēng yīn ， rú léi tíng bān ， chuán biàn le zhěng zuò yún shuǐ tiān gōng 。
太一苍老而又癫狂的声音，如雷霆般，传遍了整座云水天宫。
Only an empty Taiyi Hall and a growing sword forest remained, silently witnessing Master Taiyi's eternal torment.
bèi bái wù lǒng zhào de gè gè jiàn zhù lǐ ， yě hǎo shì yǒu gè zhǒng kě pà de shēng xiǎng chuán lái ， bù duàn hū yìng 。
被白雾笼罩的各个建筑里，也好似有各种可怕的声响传来，不断呼应。
...
cán jiàn xū yǐng rú bào yǔ ， zhòu rán měng liè 。
残剑虚影如暴雨，骤然猛烈。
In Cunyun Sea, Li Fan suddenly found himself back on the vast blue sea.
“ hǒu ！”
“吼！”
He had already left the range of Central Sea Cloud Water Heavenly Palace ruins.
guī shé guài wù de shēn yǐng zuì zhōng xiāo shī 。
龟蛇怪物的身影最终消失。
Using his Shadow Following Technique to track the positions of Si Kong Yi and Bai Li Chen, Li Fan sped up.
zhǐ shèng xià yī zuò kōng dàng dàng de tài yī diàn ， yǐ jí qián fāng guī mó yù fā páng dà de jiàn lín ， zài mò mò jiàn zhèng zhe tài yī yǒng héng de tòng kǔ 。
只剩下一座空荡荡的太一殿，以及前方规模愈发庞大的剑林，在默默见证着太一永恒的痛苦。
Suddenly, an invisible killing intent erupted from nowhere, blocking their path and significantly slowing them down.
……
……
Li Fan's speed continued to increase as he closed in on the duo. Soon, they could vaguely make out their figures.
cóng yún hǎi 。
丛云海。
"Who are you? I've already given you the Cloud Water Scroll, why do you still纠缠 us!" Si Kong Yi's angry voice rang out.
lǐ fán yǎn qián yī huā ， biàn gǎn jué zì jǐ chóng xīn huí dào le wèi lán de dà hǎi zhī shàng 。
李凡眼前一花，便感觉自己重新回到了蔚蓝的大海之上。
Li Fan didn't respond but sped up further.
zhǐ shì yǐ jīng lí kāi le zhōng yāng hǎi yù yún shuǐ tiān gōng yí jì de fàn wéi le 。
只是已经离开了中央海域云水天宫遗迹的范围了。
"Really pushing your luck!" Seeing this, Si Kong Yi abandoned his attempt to escape and turned to face Li Fan.
gǎn yìng zhe sī kōng yí hé bǎi lǐ chén èr rén de wèi zhì ， lǐ fán yùn zhuàn rú yǐng suí xíng jué ， jǐn jǐn gēn le shàng qù 。
感应着司空宜和百里尘二人的位置，李凡运转如影随形决，紧紧跟了上去。
Golden sword energy began to appear around him, winding like dragons. With a flick of his finger, the sword energy surged towards Li Fan like a swarm of flying dragons.
tóng shí yì zhí yǐn ér bù fā de wú xiāng shā jī zhòu rán fā dòng 。
同时一直隐而不发的无相杀机骤然发动。
Meanwhile, Bai Li Chen used some secret technique to increase his speed several times over, attempting to escape to an island in the distance.
sī kōng yí èr rén dùn shí yù dào le zǔ jī ， sù dù dà wèi jiǎn huǎn 。
司空宜二人顿时遇到了阻击，速度大为减缓。
"Still trying to use your old脱壳 trick? Wanting to return to Ten Thousand Immortals Island using the island teleportation array?"
ér lǐ fán de sù dù yě zài bù duàn jiā kuài 。
而李凡的速度也在不断加快。
"Not bad."
jù lí yuè lái yuè jìn ， mò guò duō jiǔ ， yǐ jīng yǐn yǐn néng kàn jiàn èr rén de shēn xíng le 。
距离越来越近，没过多久，已经隐隐能看见二人的身形了。
"Unfortunately, I was prepared for this."
“ nǐ jiū jìng shì shén me rén ？《 yún shuǐ tú lù 》 wǒ yǐ jīng ràng gěi nǐ le ， wèi hé hái chán zhe wǒ men bù fàng ！” sī kōng yí fèn nù de shēng yīn chuán lái 。
“你究竟是什么人？《云水图箓》我已经让给你了，为何还缠着我们不放！”司空宜愤怒的声音传来。
Li Fan watched them intently. Since he learned that Si Kong Yi and Bai Li Chen often acted together, he had purchased some specialized artifacts in the Heaven Dao Realm to better handle both of them.
lǐ fán bù dá ， zhǐ shì jiā kuài sù dù 。
李凡不答，只是加快速度。
For instance...
“ zhēn shì qī rén tài shèn ！” sī kōng yí jiàn zhuàng ， jìng rán fàng qì le táo pǎo ， fǎn shēn yíng xiàng lǐ fán 。
“真是欺人太甚！”司空宜见状，竟然放弃了逃跑，反身迎向李凡。
A shield surrounded by swirling flames appeared before him, deflecting all of Si Kong Yi's golden sword energy.
yī dào dào jīn sè jiàn qì ， zì qí shēn biān fú xiàn 。
一道道金色剑气，自其身边浮现。
Red Flame Shield, 350 contribution points. It naturally resisted his metallic sword energy.
wān yán yóu zǒu ， hǎo sì jiāo lóng 。
蜿蜒游走，好似蛟龙。
Li Fan then took out a black chain from his storage ring. One end aimed at Si Kong Yi and the other at Bai Li Chen.
suí zhe sī kōng yí yī zhǐ ， jiàn qì jī fā zhī xià ， rú màn tiān fēi lóng bān ， xí xiàng lǐ fán 。
随着司空宜一指，剑气激发之下，如漫天飞龙般，袭向李凡。
He threw it lightly.
ér nà bǎi lǐ chén ， què shì bù zhī shǐ le shén me mì fǎ ， sù dù měng dì zēng jiā le shù bèi 。
而那百里尘，却是不知使了什么秘法，速度猛地增加了数倍。
The black chain rapidly extended, binding both Si Kong Yi and Bai Li Chen in an instant.
shì tú chèn jī cháo zhe yuǎn chù yī zuò dǎo yǔ táo lí 。
试图趁机朝着远处一座岛屿逃离。
The chain suddenly tightened.
“ hái xiǎng yòng xiān qián nà zhǒng jīn chán tuō qiào zhī fǎ ？ xiǎng yòng dǎo yǔ chuán sòng zhèn huí dào wàn xiān dǎo ？”
“还想用先前那种金蝉脱壳之法？想用岛屿传送阵回到万仙岛？”
Bai Li Chen, who was fleeing at high speed, was yanked back towards Si Kong Yi, rolling to a stop.
“ zhǔ yì bù cuò 。”
“主意不错。”
Locking Soul Chain.
“ kě xī wǒ zǎo yǒu zhǔn bèi 。”
“可惜我早有准备。”
Li Fan spent 958 contribution points to have it specially made by a base-level alchemist from the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.
lǐ fán zhù shì zhe èr rén ， yǎn zhōng shǎn zhe mò míng de guāng máng 。
李凡注视着二人，眼中闪着莫名的光芒。
Once bound, they couldn't be too far apart.
zì cóng zài jiāo xiū yuǎn chù dǎ tàn dào ， sī kōng yí hé bǎi lǐ chén wǎng wǎng dōu shì yì qǐ xíng dòng de zhī hòu 。
自从在焦修远处打探到，司空宜和百里尘往往都是一起行动的之后。
Finally, Li Fan took out an array diagram.
wèi le gèng yǒu bǎ wò de duì fù èr rén ， lǐ fán tè yì zài tiān xuán jìng zhōng gòu mǎi le yī xiē zhēn duì xìng de fǎ qì 。
为了更有把握的对付二人，李凡特意在天玄境中购买了一些针对性的法器。
Green Wood Purple Fire Array.
bǐ rú xiàn zài ……
比如现在……
Cost: 1500 contribution points. It was powerful enough that most Spirit Nurturing practitioners would turn to ash in a moment.
shēn qián fú xiàn chū yī kuài zhōu shēn huǒ yàn liáo rào de dùn pái ， jiāng sī kōng yí de jīn sè jiàn qì jǐn jiē dǎng xià 。
身前浮现出一块周身火焰缭绕的盾牌，将司空宜的金色剑气尽皆挡下。
Li Fan remained expressionless as he activated the grand array, enveloping Si Kong Yi and Bai Li Chen.
chì huǒ dùn ，350 diǎn gòng xiàn dù 。
赤火盾，350点贡献度。
Though it seemed long, from blocking Si Kong Yi's golden sword energy to trapping them with the grand array, only a blink of an eye had passed.
duì yú sī kōng yí de jīn shǔ xìng jiàn qì ， yǒu zhe tiān shēng de kè zhì xiào guǒ 。
对于司空宜的金属性剑气，有着天生的克制效果。
They didn't have time to react before becoming trapped like fish in a pot, unable to escape.
lǐ fán yòu cóng chǔ wù jiè zhōng qǔ chū yī tiáo hēi sè de suǒ liàn 。
李凡又从储物戒中取出一条黑色的锁链。
"Who are you?!"
qí zhōng yī tóu duì zhǔn sī kōng yí ， lìng wài yī tóu zé miáo zhǔn le bǎi lǐ chén 。
其中一头对准司空宜，另外一头则瞄准了百里尘。
Seeing each move Li Fan made was highly targeted, Si Kong Yi realized he had been planning this for some time.
qīng qīng yī pāo 。
轻轻一抛。
Li Fan ignored him and used his Bug Binding Technique to control Bai Li Chen. Ignoring Si Kong Yi's curses, Li Fan activated the grand array, burning Si Kong Yi.
hēi sè suǒ liàn xùn sù yán shēn ， yǐ xùn léi bù jí yǎn ěr zhī shì ， jiāng sī kōng yí hé bǎi lǐ chén èr rén shuān zài yì qǐ 。
黑色锁链迅速延伸，以迅雷不及掩耳之势，将司空宜和百里尘二人拴在一起。
"Ahh!"
suǒ liàn měng dì shōu suō 。
锁链猛地收缩。
Cries of agony echoed as Si Kong Yi turned to ash.
zhèng fēng chí diàn chè táo mìng de bǎi lǐ chén ， bèi zhè me měng dì yī zhuāi ， fān gǔn zhe wǎng huí kào jìn sī kōng yí 。
正风驰电掣逃命的百里尘，被这么猛地一拽，翻滚着往回靠近司空宜。
But...
suǒ hún liàn 。
锁魂链。
No unusual phenomena appeared in the sky.
lǐ fán huā le 958 diǎn gòng xiàn dù ， qǐng wàn xiān méng zhù jī qī liàn qì shī zhuān mén dìng zuò 。
李凡花了958点贡献度，请万仙盟筑基期炼器师专门定做。
Then, just as Li Fan expected, a shadow slowly materialized beside Bai Li Chen.
liǎng rén yī dàn bèi suǒ liàn lián zhù ， bǐ cǐ zhī jiān jiù bù néng lí kāi tài yuǎn de jù lí 。
两人一但被锁链连住，彼此之间就不能离开太远的距离。
After writhing, it solidified into form.
zuì hòu ， kàn zhe suǒ zài yì qǐ de èr rén ， lǐ fán yòu tāo chū le yī fù zhèn tú 。
最后，看着锁在一起的二人，李凡又掏出了一付阵图。
Si Kong Yi had revived!
qīng mù zǐ huǒ zhèn 。
青木紫火阵。
Li Fan narrowed his eyes and activated the grand array again.
zú zú 1500 diǎn gòng xiàn dù 。
足足1500点贡献度。
More cries of agony.
wēi lì qiáng hèng ， fā dòng zhī hòu ， yì bān liàn qì qī xiū shì jiān chí bú dào yī shí sān kè ， jiù yào huà zuò fēi huī 。
威力强横，发动之后，一般炼气期修士坚持不到一时三刻，就要化作飞灰。
Si Kong Yi died once more.
lǐ fán miàn wú biǎo qíng ， fā dòng le dà zhèn ， jiāng sī kōng yí hé bǎi lǐ chén zhào zhù 。
李凡面无表情，发动了大阵，将司空宜和百里尘罩住。
This time, after reviving, his cultivation dropped from late Spirit Nurturing to mid-Spirit Nurturing.
kàn zhe zhǎng ， shí zé cóng lǐ fán dǎng zhù sī kōng yí de jīn sè jiàn qì kāi shǐ ， dào yòng dà zhèn kùn zhù èr rén ， zhǐ bù guò shì zài zhǎ yǎn zhī jiān 。
看着长，实则从李凡挡住司空宜的金色剑气开始，到用大阵困住二人，只不过是在眨眼之间。
Li Fan understood.
èr rén gēn běn lái bù jí zuò chū rèn hé fǎn yìng ， jiù chéng wéi le wèng zhōng zhī biē ， zài nán yǐ táo tuō 。
二人根本来不及做出任何反应，就成为了瓮中之鳖，再难以逃脱。
Purple flames leaped as Si Kong Yi faced another round of death.
“ nǐ dào dǐ shì shén me rén ？！”
“你到底是什么人？！”
Si Kong Yi's curses turned into pleas for mercy, then tears of agony.
sī kōng yí jiàn lǐ fán měi yī zhāo shì ， dōu jí jù zhēn duì xìng 。
司空宜见李凡每一招式，都极具针对性。
But Li Fan remained unmoved.
nǎ lǐ hái bù míng bái tā shì yù móu yǐ jiǔ le 。
哪里还不明白他是预谋已久了。
This mysterious Si Kong Yi had powerful survival techniques and he had already incurred a deadly grudge by stealing the Cloud Water Scroll worth ten thousand contribution points from him.
lǐ fán bù dá ， yòng fù chóng shén tōng kòng zhù bǎi lǐ chén 。
李凡不答，用缚虫神通控住百里尘。
Even if he couldn't extract any secrets, Li Fan wouldn't let him leave.
wú shì sī kōng yí de zhòu mà zhī shēng ， lǐ fán fā dòng dà zhèn ， zhuó shāo sī kōng yí 。
无视司空宜的咒骂之声，李凡发动大阵，灼烧司空宜。
The Green Wood Purple Fire Array was repeatedly activated until Si Kong Yi's cultivation dropped to early Spirit Nurturing.
“ a ！”
“啊！”
His face showed despair as he begged for mercy out of desperation to survive.
zhèn zhèn cǎn jiào shēng zhōng ， sī kōng yí huà zuò huī huī 。
阵阵惨叫声中，司空宜化作灰灰。
He revealed all the secrets in his body.
dàn ……
但……
Li Fan listened silently, his expression changing with each revelation.
tóu dǐng tiān kōng bìng wú yì xiàng chū xiàn 。
头顶天空并无异像出现。
Finally, purple flames flickered.
jǐn jiē zhe ， rú lǐ fán yù xiǎng zhōng de huà miàn chū xiàn le 。
紧接着，如李凡预想中的画面出现了。
After dying three times consecutively, Si Kong Yi couldn't revive again.
bǎi lǐ chén shēn páng ， yī dào xū yǐng huǎn huǎn fú xiàn 。
百里尘身旁，一道虚影缓缓浮现。
Bai Li Chen also turned to dust and vanished from existence after Si Kong Yi's death.
xū yǐng yī zhèn rú dòng hòu ， zhú jiàn xiǎn chū shí tǐ 。
虚影一阵蠕动后，逐渐显出实体。
A black token floated quietly where Si Kong Yi had disappeared.
sī kōng yí ， yòu fù huó le ！
司空宜，又复活了！
Li Fan picked up the token, and a message appeared in his mind: "Holding this order grants control over the Steal Heaven Replace Sun Sect."
Li Fan's spirit consciousness darted through the colorful model, as if he was personally exploring the ancient Cloud Water Heavenly Palace.
But...
Apart from that, this 'Cloud Water Scroll' seemed to have no other special functions.
"This Cloud Water Scroll might be more appropriately called a Cloud Water Record," Li Fan thought, filled with doubts.
However, it wasn't the time for deep investigation at the moment.
Stowing the colorful model into his storage ring, Li Fan bowed to the tortoise-snake monster. "Master Taiyi, please allow me to leave here. I still have matters to attend to and find my fellow disciple Bai Li Chen."
A moment later, Master Taiyi's aged voice echoed: "Yes, good to leave. Good to leave..."
It was the same reaction as when he sent Bai Li Chen off earlier.
A blue light enveloped Li Fan.
Then, his figure vanished.
The Taiyi Hall fell into a long silence once more.
After an indeterminate amount of time, a strange sound broke the tranquility.
"Zi... Zi... Zi..."
It sounded like blades grinding against a whetstone or a giant snake shedding its old skin.
Each time accompanied by the appearance of countless sword shadows piercing the tortoise-snake monster's body.
"Bang!"
The Taiyi Hall suddenly sank, forcing the tortoise-snake monster to retract its limbs.
The two black snakes at the head and tail let out painful hisses as they writhed their grotesque heads back into the Taiyi Hall.
"Pain..."
"Pain..."
Master Taiyi's aged and deranged voice reverberated throughout the Cloud Water Heavenly Palace like thunder.
Various terrifying sounds seemed to emanate from the buildings shrouded in white mist, echoing in response.
The残剑虚影如暴雨般骤然猛烈。
"Roar!"
The tortoise-snake monster's figure finally vanished.
Only an empty Taiyi Hall and a growing sword forest remained, silently witnessing Master Taiyi's eternal torment.
...
In Cunyun Sea, Li Fan suddenly found himself back on the vast blue sea.
He had already left the range of Central Sea Cloud Water Heavenly Palace ruins.
Using his Shadow Following Technique to track the positions of Si Kong Yi and Bai Li Chen, Li Fan sped up.
Suddenly, an invisible killing intent erupted from nowhere, blocking their path and significantly slowing them down.
