[Episode 18]

Still not asking?

About what?

Where the antidote is.

Antidote?

You were never poisoned, were you?

You realized it a long time ago.

That's right.

I was indeed poisoned by love toxin.

But it didn't affect my heart.

I fooled Chong Guang.

But precisely because the love toxin didn't affect my heart,

all of this,

everything you see,

the Mo Xiao in front of you

is not fake.

Why are you doing this?

You clearly know I want to kill you.

Because only by doing this,

can I take this opportunity to show you my true feelings.

I actually wish

all of this,

this sweet dream

never ends.

But this dream must come to an end.

Yes.

Because I am Mo Xiao,

the Young Leader of the Shushan Sect,

the successor of Fengyue Sword Lord.

I am the hope of many people.

I must save fellow members of the Immortal Sect and the martial world.

I also need to destroy the Demon Lord's plot.

This is my destiny.

Are you willing to sacrifice yourself for these people?

You are one of those people.

Lixue.

The person I most want to save is you.

Even if it means

dying?

Even if it means

dying.

Alright, I will tell you where the antidote is.

The antidote is at the Red Lake, behind the Waterfall on the Liku River.

The Red Lake, with waves as red as fire,

is extremely perilous, and no one can pass.

Are you sure you're going?

The Shushan Sect takes it as its duty to protect all living beings in the world.

In the face of life and death, I have no other choice.

There is no other option.

I have never seen someone as foolish as you.

Wait for me to return.

Niu, you're back so early?

Yeah, delivering water for several nights in a row

has exhausted us.

Good night.

Let's go.

Lingyun, what do we do now?

Anyway, we've got the token

that takes us through the barrier.

Right now, we can't get out.

Why don't we just stroll around here?

Stroll around? What time do you think it is?

We can adapt flexibly to the situation.

Anyway, it's still a few hours until dawn.

Maybe we can find Mo Xiao before dawn.

Let's go.

This couldn't be the dungeon Lu mentioned, could it?

We haven't found Mo Xiao after searching for so long.

I guess he must be imprisoned here.

Let's go take a look.

Why are you here?

Here to pick the sacrificial spirit again? Hurry up.

To pass through the Red Lake,

you must remain unaffected by the seven emotions.

If you have worldly concerns in your heart,

you will feel the pain of bones and scales rotting under your feet.

You cannot use any magical power.

You can only come to me with your physical body.

Whatever you want, I will give it to you.

Rule number two, changing clothes must be done in private.

Never undress in public.

Rule number three: Eat with bamboo chopsticks.

Porridge and soup must be eaten with a spoon.

You must be careful.

Mo Xiao, take me away.

Wu Chen.

Mo Xiao.

You managed to use your willpower

to discard the seven emotions and remain unmoved.

You have a willpower that exceeds ordinary people, very good.

Whatever you want, I can give it to you.

I want the antidote for the poison of Love and Desire.

To pass through the Red Lake,

you must remain unaffected by the seven emotions.

Father.

Dad.

Did Yue Yao tell you the plan?

Yes, she told us everything.

You brat, you didn't take the opportunity to do something bad, did you?

I am your son.

How could you suspect that?

Anyway, I don't care. You be careful.

Just rest assured.

Father, the Demon Lord should be inside Changhuan Palace.

We have already obtained the token to enter Changhuan Palace.

That's right, but we haven't found Mo Xiao yet.

I see.

Xie,

these martial artists from Jianghu

have been demonized already.

We definitely can't break out of this barrier today.

You should find a safe and hidden place first

and settle them down.

I'll take these three to find the Demon Lord for the antidote.

Good heavens.

Well, you all be careful then.

- Leave this to me. - Let's go.

Lingyun, be careful.

Who are you?

What took you so long?

I missed you.

Welcome to Changhuan Palace.

You must be Murong Changfeng.

Chong Guang.

Eighteen years ago, you and Ye Yuan were ambitious

to seize the ancient artifact, Celestial Edict.

You were stopped by the Fengyue Sword Lord of the Shushan Sect.

The Tianmo Sect has been dormant until now.

Now you have kidnapped the Immortal Sect disciples.

What exactly do you want?

What do you want then?

If you don't change your ambitions,

my sect disciples will uphold the Sword Lord's wishes

and eradicate you, the ambitious wolf.

Go on.

If you are willing to turn back now,

hand over the antidote for Love and Desire, and retreat back to Suyu Mountain,

the sect disciples will also be magnanimous

and won't hunt you to extinction.

Are you threatening me?

But threatening me requires leverage.

Do you have any?

You don't, but I do.

Your Young Leader is still in my hands.

What did you do to Mo Xiao?

Lord, Mo Xiao has found the antidote.

All the love poison in the city has been cured.

Are you sure?

Mo Xiao, are you okay?

Mr. Mo.

Uncle Murong.

You should leave Changhuan Palace.

I've got this.

Alright, be careful.

Let's go.

Feng Lixue.

Your poison has been cured.

Jianchuan, stay.

Guard this place and assist Mr. Mo.

Yes.

There are still some demonized martial artists in the dungeon.

I'll take people there right away.

Alright, off you go.

Ce, Lingyun,

let's first go to the small courtyard and meet up with Jing and the others.

We'll make arrangements and be ready

to accept those martial artists

who leave the Desire Valley after being demonized,

- Alright. - Yes.

Let's go.

As expected of the successor of Fengyue,

at such a young age, you have such attainments.

I've come to admire your talent.

Why don't we team up,

just like I did with Ye Yuan back then?

As long as we stand side by side,

not only in this world,

but even dominating the Three Realms will be no problem.

Eighteen years ago, you and Demon Lord Ye Yuan

failed in seizing the Celestial Edict.

After that, you retreated to Suyu Mountain.

I didn't expect that after 18 years,

your ambition remains undiminished.

Can't a person have some ambitions?

Do you not consider joining me?

Exorcising demons and defending the Dao is my lifelong mission.

It is etched into my bones.

Maybe one day you will realize

that I can change your destiny.

Your evil deeds are plenty, and you will suffer the consequences.

They are all willingly controlled by me,

just like Feng Lixue.

Next, it'll be you.

Then I will destroy your demonic stone.

Prepare to die!

Jing, you were just poisoned earlier.

Now the poison has been cured, it's alright.

Brother, did I do

something shameful?

Of course not.

Jing, you should ask me about that.

I can tell you a whole lot about it.

Father.

I thought I would never see you again.

What foolishness are you talking about?

I'm glad you're okay.

I'm okay.

Ce, use the voice transmission

and report back to the Shushan Sect

so that the sect leader can rest assured as well.

Yes, Father.

Where are the three Great Guardians?

Greetings, sir.

What's wrong with Zisu?

She…

You two, stop standing there foolishly.

Go check on her.

- Yes. - Yes.

Mo Xiao.

Lixue.

You have already saved those who you wanted to save.

Aren't you leaving yet?

There is still one more person I need to save.

Lixue, come with me.

We shall meet again.

And if I say no?

Lixue, have you forgotten the strange vision

we had when we first climbed to the Snow Peak?

I will investigate the matter of my father's revenge myself.

You should quickly take your fellow disciples and leave.

Master is a stubborn and unruly person.

You have broken his Desire Valley.

He will not let this go easily.

Lixue, I will definitely find out the truth.

- Trust me. - It's not necessary.

Avenging my father has nothing to do with you.

Lixue.

Do we have to be like this?

You are the emotionless Sword Immortal of the Shushan Sect,

and I am the heart-devouring Demonic Sect Star Lord.

There is no other choice between us.

Emotionless?

I almost

believed you,

but later I found out that everything was fake

and you had deceived me yet again.

I have indeed not been confused by the love poison.

But precisely because of this,

what I said to you was all from the bottom of my heart.

If it weren't for the cover of the love poison,

as the Young Leader of the Shushan Sect,

I would never be able to say these words.

I am in the Immortal Sect.

The Great Tao comes first.

I have no choice.

But my only true feelings

are lost in the Red Lake.

Lixue.

[Forbidden]

Zisu, the three of us grew up together with Mr. Mo.

Others don't know what's on your mind,

but I know it better than anyone else.

Actually, you've always admired Mr. Mo.

But due to the sect rules, you couldn't express it.

This time, because of the Love and Desire, you dared to reveal your true feelings, right?

This time, I made such a big mistake.

Will Mr. Mo kick me out of the Tiance Yard?

Silly girl, there's no right or wrong in liking someone.

Mr. Mo has extraordinary talent.

In this world,

who wouldn't like such a man?

Moreover, you two spend so much time together.

It's natural to develop feelings over time.

Zifeng, do you also like Mr. Mo?

My liking for Mr. Mo

has long surpassed romantic feelings.

He is the future leader of the Shushan Sect

and the leader of the Immortal Sect,

the person I will follow for life.

What I need to do in this life

is to help him achieve the merits of the Immortal Sect.

This alone is enough for me to strive for a lifetime.

Isn't that enough to be fulfilling?

We have been cultivating together since childhood.

Why do you understand everything more clearly than I do?

I come from the Fengyu Division,

helping Mr. Mo with information in the world.

I've heard and seen a lot.

So, I've figured some things out.

So Mr. Mo really won't drive me away?

Mr. Mo's cultivation is far above ours.

How could he blame you for such a trivial matter?

But, Zisu,

Mr. Mo's path of cultivation is long.

Accompanying him is already a blessing.

Some things will eventually pass with time.

So, what you need to overcome is the barrier in your heart.

Do you understand?

I understand.

Zisu, come back quickly.

Mr. Mo is injured.

Mr. Mo.

Mr. Mo.

How did you get hurt like this?

It's all our fault

for not protecting you well.

It's nothing, just some superficial wounds.

Just apply some ointment, and it will be fine.

You three, leave us.

I have something to say to Mo Xiao.

Yes.

Alright, just sit down.

- Uncle. - Sit down.

Go ahead.

Did Feng Lixue also escape with Chong Guang?

Yes.

Before I came, the sect leader kept reminding me.

If I see you, I must tell you.

You must kill Feng Lixue upon seeing her.

But every time, you are reluctant to strike.

You are clearly capable of it.

Uncle, Feng Lixue has a misunderstanding because Feng Xingtian

hurt the Sword Lord back then.

That's why she blamed us and the Shushan Sect for her father's death,

which is why she was used by Chong Guang.

Thus, she fell into the demonic path.

But she was not originally a demon.

She was deeply entangled because she didn't know the truth.

She is also a pitiable person.

Even so, the sect leader…

Speaking of which, it really is strange.

The sect leader is usually kind-hearted.

But towards this Feng Lixue,

he insists that you must kill her.

What exactly is the reason for this?

Perhaps the Master holds hatred

because the Sword Lord retreated from the world

after the duel with Feng Xingtian.

That's why he transferred his anger to Feng Lixue.

Alright, since it has come to this,

next time you see the sect leader,

explain to him yourself.

Feel better soon.

Master, I know you want me to kill Lixue

because of the fate calamity.

But Lixue was accidentally pushed off the cliff by me years ago.

We met again after ten years,

and Lixue saved my life.

This time, I went to the Red Lake for the antidote,

Lixue also helped me.

If there really is such a thing as a fate calamity,

I might be her fate calamity.

How can I

harm Lixue who has helped many times?

The Master and the Sword Lord have taught me to care for all living beings.

How can I, for my own safety,

harm an innocent life?

Lord, the Star Lord Shaohao has returned.

Lord, the Star Lord Shaohao requests an audience.

Who let you in?

Lord, the Star Lord Shaohao requests an audience.

Where?

In the front hall.

Without my order, do not come in again.

I have made a mistake. Please punish me, Master.

What did you do wrong?

I did not notice Mo Xiao's act

and fell for the devious plot.

I carelessly revealed the antidote for the poison of Love and Desire

being at the Red Lake.

Please punish me, Master.

Lixue.

You are my only disciple.

I saved you ten years ago

and made you my disciple.

Do you know why?

I don't know.

Because you have hatred in your heart, and you are ruthless enough.

You have waited for ten years for revenge.

You are patient and resolute enough.

You surpass countless weak and incompetent people in this world.

Only such a person is worthy to be my disciple.

But now, you have changed.

Your patience has become a weakness.

Your resoluteness

has become hesitation.

Are you still the Feng Lixue I saved ten years ago?

I have never asked in these ten years.

Master, how did you know back then that I fell off the cliff

and saved me?

Were you also at the Snow Peak back then?

Maybe this is our destined fate.

Then why didn't you save my father back then, Master?

Are you blaming me?

I do not dare.

But if Master had saved my father back then,

perhaps my suffering would have been less.

Your father

went up to the Shushan Sect to save you.

If he knew I had already saved you,

he should be able to die with no regrets.

Yes.

You are right.

But if he knew

that the heart for revenge

in his daughter has already wavered,

I wonder what his wandering soul beneath Fengdu City would think.

My heart for revenge has never wavered.

Has your loyalty to me wavered then?

I distinguish clearly between gratitude and grievances.

In this life, I only live for two things.

First, to avenge my father's murder.

Second, to repay the debt of saving my life.

You have been gracious to me.

My life belongs to you.

Then what about your heart?

Let's ask your heart.

Lixue.

Come with me.

Come, let's see

the person you think of in your heart.

Mo Xiao.

Lixue.

Mo Xiao, don't come over.

Go.

Don't come over, go.

Go, Mo Xiao.

Don't come over.

No, Mo Xiao.

Don't come over, Mo Xiao.

Go, Mo Xiao, go.
