♫ Your face is bright under the remaining moon behind the screen ♫

♫ Clouds gather and fog swirls, I crave that one glance ♫

♫ Some fulfill, some regret for a thousand years ♫

♫ The returning swallows' bell toll chisels my heartstrings ♫

♫ Fingers linger over that page with ease ♫

♫ Words are familiar, tone hard to distinguish, leaving it to fate ♫

♫ Regret spreads as I silently recite in my heart ♫

♫ Flowers fall and bloom again, scattered in the wind ♫

♫ It's hard to distinguish the moon in water and the moon far ♫

♫ Even if there is no return date, I wander aimlessly ♫

♫ Fallen flowers rise, the flowing water is indifferent ♫

♫ The flowers gathered is like a dream, also like you ♫

♫ Even if wordless for a moment, I have mixed feelings ♫

♫ Wiping away tears, I never leave you ♫

♫ Drenched by a lifetime of rain, I still wait for you ♫

♫ I still wait for you ♫

[Episode 24]

Minghuang sent someone to deliver it.

He's quite sensible.

Take a look.

The wedding attire of the Demon Lord.

Does it fit me?

Have you tried on your Phoenix Brocade?

Try it on

to see if it fits.

Someone.

- Lord. - Bring the Phoenix Brocade here.

Yes.

From tomorrow,

you will be my Demon Queen.

Do you still remember this Demonic Mirror?

The last time you question your heart with the Demonic Mirror,

someone who shouldn't have appeared appeared.

Lixue.

You are moved.

Lixue.

Tomorrow,

you will be the Demon Queen.

Do you want to question your heart once more?

Very well.

This indicates

you are now very clear about your own heart.

After today,

I want you to

guard this heart well.

You are the Demon Queen.

And your heart

belongs only to the Demon Lord.

Master.

Since you are the Demon Lord of Love and Desire,

I want to ask you

whether everyone's heart

is really driven by their own heart.

People

do not know how to control their own hearts,

so

they let me control them.

What about your heart?

Who controls it?

Even you cannot control your own heart, right?

It's painful.

We are all suffering.

Someone.

Take the Demon Queen

to change into the Phoenix Brocade.

I want to see

what Demon Queen looks like

in the Phoenix Brocade.

Change clothes for me.

The person who appeared in the Demonic Mirror

was me?

Yes.

Then why don't you go with me?

You heard it.

Not everyone

can control their own hearts.

And most people

have their own responsibilities and missions,

living against their will.

So do you.

Do you know,

once you become the Demon Queen,

then there is no turning back?

I know.

Lixue.

I won't allow such a thing to happen,

even if it costs my own life.

Absolutely.

After tomorrow,

my heart will be closed forever.

Go down the mountain.

Forget me.

Go with me.

No.

No one can change

what I have decided.

Master,

are you satisfied with me?

Do you know

how beautiful you are?

Mo Xiao.

Mo Xiao.

Mo Xiao.

Mo Xiao.

Mo Xiao.

Mo Xiao.

This attire

is drugged.

This is the Phoenix Brocade of the Demon Queen.

Then consider this attire a wedding gift

to you.

Xu Yuan Wushuang.

How dare you set me up.

Mo Xiao.

Mo Xiao.

- My lady. - Mo Xiao.

She's poisoned by the Philter?

Stop, don't run.

Mo Xiao, I will hold them off.

Please take her to the Longqiu Spring.

Perhaps it can suppress the drug's effects in her body.

- Be careful. - Okay.

Let's go.

It seems this drug is pretty potent.

I can only transfer the drug from your body

to mine.

Don't come closer.

Mo Xiao.

What's wrong with you?

What's wrong with you?

Mo Xiao.

- What's wrong with you? - Don't come closer.

♫ Tears drop on paper, and one stroke carries the love ♫

♫ A lifetime's soul linked like fire, let it drift ♫

♫ Gloomy moonlight, decayed lovesickness ♫

♫ Wind sweeps the river, echoing the sad song ♫

Mo Xiao,

why did you come at this time?

But thank you for coming at this time,

so I can hold you once more.

♫ Tangled and unruly, stirring the mountains and rivers ♫

♫ Through countless catastrophes, still find you familiar ♫

♫ The faithful cool wind, and the merciless night rain ♫

♫ Love is destined ♫

Lord.

Lord.

I only love him,

no one else.

Lord. Lord.

Lord, please do not marry Feng Lixue.

I know everything.

That way, you will only be harmed by the demonic power of Love and Desire

and suffering.

I do not seek pity.

As long as you allow me

to become your concubine

to serve you.

I ask for nothing else.

What Feng Lixue can do for you,

I can do the same for you.

Lord, I know

Feng Lixue has an Ice Cicada inside her.

Please take it out

and place it inside me.

I am willing to become the vessel to nourish your spiritual creature.

If you dare say more,

I will take your life.

Get out.

Lixue.

Lixue.

Yunchao, why are you here?

Chong Guang has been

searching for you on Suyu Mountain.

I heard from Tian Xin that you have been here,

so I came to look for you.

I left the clothes here.

I'll pretend that I haven't seen you.

Lixue.

I don't like owing others,

especially you.

It's been such a long time.

Why hasn't Mo Xiao come down the mountain yet?

Lixue doesn't want to go with him?

Jing, where are you going?

I'm going to pick Mo Xiao up.

Stop it.

We didn't tell him in advance that we're going to pick him up.

If he came down from another place,

and we just missed him,

then it would cause more trouble.

But Mo Xiao…

Don't worry.

He has great fortune.

He will be fine.

Chase them!

- Stop. - Go.

Hurry!

Stop!

Hurry!

Stop!

Stop!

Go.

Mo Xiao.

Lixue, do not use the Ice Sword Technique,

or you'll get hurt.

Go.

- Where are they? - Lord.

We're still tracking them.

You have been searching for them a day and night,

yet you still haven't found them.

Lord, Mo Xiao didn't fly with a sword,

and rarely used techniques either.

He's just been hiding in the mountains and running away.

And our people also disappeared along with him.

Therefore, we temporarily lost track of them.

Lost track of them?

Could there be a hidden place in this world?

Keep chasing.

Yes.

What a loyal servant.

Lord, should I…

No, no.

Keep him.

I want Lixue to see

how I treat her loyal servant.

Take him back to Shaohao Palace

and wait for his master to come back.

Yes.

Take him down.

Chong Guang is the Demon Lord of Love and Desire,

who controls human's love and desire,

but cannot develop love and desire himself.

Now,

he falls for Feng Lixue,

yet he cannot control her.

The backlash of the demonic power of Love and Desire

must make him suffer deeply.

This is a perfect chance.

Why don't we

retrieve the two sacred stones now?

Now?

Now.

Don't you join us?

As the guardian of the Tianmo Sect,

I once swore an oath to the former lord

that I cannot take our sacred artifacts without permission.

Please forgive me.

What?

You are just scared of Chong Guang.

You are scared of him,

but we are not.

Mo Xiao.

Take a rest.

I'm fine.

After we cross this mountain,

I will send a secret message to Lingyun.

Jing's Pagoda Bell

will surely discover us

before those demon soldiers.

They will come to pick us up then.

Do you still plan to take me to the Shushan Sect?

In this world,

only the Shushan Sect is the place that Chong Guang

doesn't dare to make a move.

You will be safe there.

I will not go back to the Shushan Sect with you.

Everyone in the Shushan Sect

thinks I am a witch.

If you bring me back,

you will become the target of public criticism.

Mo Xiao.

I am tired.

I hope

to go to a place without immortal and demon,

and without revenge and enmities.

And spend a few days between us.

A place without immortal and demon,

and without revenge and enmities.

If such a place truly exists,

I would like to go.

If such a place truly exists,

do you want to go?

Of course,

even for just one day.

Even if you cannot be the Young Leader of the Shushan Sect,

do you still want to go?

Of course.

Having you is enough.

Even if it is just for one day,

do you still want to go?

Of course.

But in this world,

there is no such a place.

Here.

Here?

I will take you there.

My injuries have healed.

Where is this place?

This is the Illusionary Realm of the Spiritual Orb.

Illusionary Realm

of the Spiritual Orb?

This place was created

by an ancient Spiritual Orb.

It is beyond the three realms.

Everything here

is the same as the real world,

yet independent of the human world.

Who would have thought

within a Spiritual Orb

there would be such a vast world?

Do you mean

we were just inside that Spiritual Orb?

That's right.

This is the Hidden Spiritual Orb my father gave me.

Hidden Spiritual Orb?

Before the great battle,

my father gave me this Spiritual Orb.

He feared he would be defeated,

and the world wouldn't accept me.

When facing a time of crisis, I can escape into the Spiritual Orb.

Apart from its master, no one else

can enter the world of the Spiritual Orb.

But why…

I didn't escape to this world?

Because the world of the Spiritual Orb

can only be activated once in a lifetime.

And I have not avenged my grudges,

naturally, I won't get into this world.

It's all my fault.

No,

it's my fault.

I hated the wrong person.

If I could leave everything behind,

and live in seclusion,

I only hope you could be with me.

I was born in the Shushan Sect

and grew up in the Xuanqing Yard.

My whole life

seems to have been for the Shushan Sect

and for people in the world.

I never thought that one day,

I would not be the successor to the Sword Lord.

If without bearing a heavy responsibility,

who I would be,

where I would be born,

and for whom I would live.

Lixue.

Thank you.

It is you who gave me this chance.

I don't care about immortal or demon.

I don't care about revenge or enmities.

It's just us.

It's just us.

Even if it's just for one day.

Even if it's just for one day.

They ran away?

Oh my, they must be crazy.

If this is delayed any longer,

the Sect Leader will definitely get suspicious.

No way.

We have to think of a way

to buy them some time.

Well, you now send a message to the Shushan Sect,

saying that Mo Xiao's injuries have worsened,

and returning to the Shushan Sect is not possible now,

thus, we went to the Peach Blossom Castle nearby

to find Shi Bujiu.

The injuries have worsened?

Is this okay?

What if the Sect Leader and the division heads

knew that Mo Xiao's injuries have worsened,

and wanted to come over?

Then we would be caught.

So you need to describe the injuries

just right,

without worrying them too much,

and making them understand

we went to the Peach Blossom Castle nearby.

Okay, I'll send a message to my father right now.

What's wrong?

Are you worried about your master?

I asked Po Yun to deliver the antidote down the mountain for me.

I wonder if Lingyun has received it

and sent it back to the Shushan Sect.

Po Yun is reliable.

Don't worry.

Mo Xiao.

Didn't we agree?

In here,

we block out everything from the outside,

it's just you and me.

Stop worrying, okay?

It was all my fault before.

From now on,

forget everything.

It's just us.

[Mo Xiao's injuries have worsened, so we went to the Peach Blossom Castle nearby to find Shi Bujiu.]

The Young Leader, Jing

and Lingyun

will return to the Shushan Sect a little later.

Yes, the Young Leader has suffered minor injuries

and needs to rest for a few days before coming back.

Did the Young Leader ask you to come back,

or Xie Lingyun?

It's the Young Leader.

Forget it.

Since the antidote has been delivered back now,

it's fine if they return a couple of days later.

Xuan Zhen.

After the Sect Leader took the antidote,

has his condition improved?

Fortunately, this antidote can indeed deal with the poison of the Rootless Flower.

But he ingested the poison orally,

and several days have passed,

I'm afraid he's been deeply poisoned

and cannot be cured soon.

But rest assured.

Luckily, this antidote

can indeed cure the poison of the Rootless Flower completely

and can save the Sect Leader's life.

However,

he may be weak and powerless for some time,

and has to rest more.

Alright.

Since this is the case, we should let the Sect Leader

have a good rest.

Let's think about

if there's any other cure method.

Master.

Master, Young Master Jing has sent a message back.

Bring it up.

Senior Brother Murong.

What did Jing say?

The Young Leader's injuries have worsened,

rushing back to the Shushan Sect might not possible,

so they went to the Peach Blossom Castle

to find Shi Bujiu to heal the injury.

Why his injuries have worsened?

Master, why don't you let the three of us go and take care of the Young Leader?

The Young Leader's injuries

are not that severe.

But returning to the Shushan Sect might take a long time,

so they chose to go to the Peach Blossom Castle for treatment.

They will be back in a few days.

You three have just brought the antidote back,

so just stay and wait.

Since the Sect Leader needs bed rest.

We should not disturb him.

Alright, let's all disperse.

Yes.

Master Murong.

Master Murong, please wait.

Jianchuan, what's wrong?

I heard that the Young Leader went to the Peach Blossom Castle

to seek treatment from Shi Bujiu.

So I want to check his injuries

on behalf of you,

and ask the Divine Physician

for a cure for my Master's Rootless Flower poison.

After all, Master got poisoned.

It's all my fault

for not taking good care of him.

I want to make amends

for my mistakes.

I know

that you have suffered a lot

when your Master got poisoned.

But you kept silent without defending at all,

must have done it for your Master's injuries.

Actually,

you are the chief disciple of Sect Leader.

If Mo Xiao didn't show up,

you would have taken

the position of the Young Leader.

I'm glad that you have

such a broad mind.

You flatter me.

I ask for nothing else,

but want to clear my name.

Very well.

Then you should make a trip to the Peach Blossom Castle.

Thank you.

I'll set off now.

Go ahead.

Lixue.

Lixue.

It seems someone was here before.

That should be the previous owner of the Spiritual Orb.

I wonder

where they went.

Mo Xiao.

Since we are here in the Spiritual Orb's realm,

then do not ask about the future,

or think of the past,

but only cherish the present.

Okay.

Let's go.

We have told such a big lie for Mo Xiao,

and now we don't know where Mo Xiao and Lixue went.

We cannot go back to the Shushan Sect,

then where should we go?

Why not take this opportunity,

I'll take you to travel around

and roam the Jianghu?

At this time,

all you think about is traveling around.

I'm just joking.

Right now,

we should head to the Peach Blossom Castle.

Peach Blossom Castle?

Why are we heading there?

We just lied that he is there,

but he is not really there.

He is not there,

so we need to go there.

Think about it, giving the temper of the Sect Leader,

if he knows that Mo Xiao's injuries are so severe

that needs Shi Bujiu to treat him,

even if he doesn't come in person,

he would send a disciple of the Shushan Sect to come check him.

Then we would be caught lying.

- Yes. - So we should head there now.

Are you sure Chong Guang is not in seclusion in the Ancestor Hall's secret chamber?

His Demon Queen has eloped with someone,

how could he still be there?

While he is occupied,

tonight is a perfect time to take action.

- Let's go. - Let's go.

Where did the Insatiable Sacred Stone go?

It was placed here.

Maybe it's like the Lust Sacred Stone,

taken by him to the Tranquility Palace.

Chong Guang chooses to seclude himself here to cultivate demonic techniques,

and no one else is allowed to enter.

He must be relying on the power of the sacred stone to nourish himself.

The sacred stone must be here.

Let's search carefully.

You two,

how can such an important sacred stone

be easily found by you?

Back then,

if it weren't for my promise to Ye Yuan,

both of you today

would have to die in my secret chamber.

I am very curious

why you don't appreciate my kindness,

and repeatedly challenge me.

Why is that?

Want to know why?

Alright.

Eighteen years ago,

if you didn't ask Ye Yuan to,

he wouldn't have gone to Buzhou Mountain

to seize the Celestial Edict,

and wouldn't have lost his life.

I will avenge

not only on the Shushan Sect,

but also on you, Chong Guang.
