[Episode 31]

Junior sister, please sit down.

Everyone,

since Mo Xiao is the leader of the Shushan Sect,

naturally, he must consider all the immortal sects comprehensively.

This is not enough to prove

that he has not been bewitched by that witch.

The revered Shushan Sect

hid the demonic stone without knowing,

and now entangles with that witch.

How can it lead other sects?

The Sect Leader took the position at a young age,

inevitably, he acted on impulse

and lacked consideration.

But, isn't it a bit harsh

to say that the Shushan Sect

is no longer fit to be the exemplar

of the immortal sects?

If the Sect Leader is at fault,

we have a thousand rules

and our own way of punishment.

But for you all to come in such a menacing manner

and stir up trouble in the Shushan Sect,

aren't you afraid that the world will laugh at you when the word gets out?

Or worse, what if the Demonic Sect

gains the upper hand?

What Mr. Murong said

truly reflects the demeanor and example that the head of the Shushan Sect should have.

The Sect Leader Mo Xiao has repeatedly made grave mistakes,

placing the immortal sects in jeopardy.

Exorcising demons in Fengdu City

and activating the Tianxing Formation at the Sacrificial Platform,

both resulted in the unjust demise of many disciples of the immortal sects.

According to the rules of the immortal sects,

he should perform rites for the deceased disciples

and guide the souls to the afterlife.

No.

The Sect Leader was injured by Chong Guang.

The one conducting the rites must use their own spiritual essence

to guide the souls of the deceased.

The damage to their spiritual power is significant.

With his current body,

it will undoubtedly take his life.

I'll go.

I am guilty

of causing the wrongful deaths of many fellow disciples.

I should go to the Sea of Rebirth

to appease the vengeful spirits of those who died unjustly.

But I beg all the immortal leaders here

to temporarily put aside your grievances

and unite as one

against the Demonic Sect.

The Sect Leader has the Sword Lord's spirit protecting him,

so naturally, he has no fear of performing the rites.

Alright.

Tomorrow, I will seal my spiritual power

and undertake the guiding of the deceased souls

with my own body.

Do you hate me that much?

You never really took away my demonic technique.

You've been using me all along.

Speaking of using,

didn't Mo Xiao initially

use you to find me?

That's why he

chased you, protecting you all the way?

Between people,

the relationship of using and being used

is the most secure one.

Only children are afraid of being used.

Adults only think of it

as an opportunity to prove themselves.

But you lied to me.

Lies destroy everything.

I harmed him.

He will hate me.

You've hated him for ten years.

Now,

you're worried that he will hate you because of it.

Ten years.

I hated the wrong person and destroyed myself.

He hates me now.

I'm afraid his hatred for me will destroy him.

Do you hate me?

I do.

Enough that you want to kill me?

Yes.

Why?

You not only fooled me,

you also fooled all of the Tianxing Sect members.

If I'm not mistaken,

all these years,

the one supporting the Tianxing Sect is you, isn't it?

You pretended to support them on the surface,

but in reality, it was only to use the Tianxing Sect

to help you retrieve the sacred stones.

You sending me down the mountain was a risky move.

You wanted to make me gain recognition from the Immortal Sect

before you strike.

You used me,

just like you used my father back then.

Anything else?

You want to find three sacred stones,

and the Tianxing Sect has two.

So you pretended to join hands with him.

You made him practice demonic technique.

You indirectly caused his death.

You think I lied to you.

You put all the blame

on me.

You think I'm your enemy.

Fine.

Kill me then.

But before that,

you must stay by my side

until you have that ability.

Why are you doing this to me?

Because I believe

love

only leads to one's downfall.

Only hatred

can make a person stronger.

Hatred can reshape a person,

just like how I reshaped you back then.

I am not afraid of doing it again.

Guiding souls with your body?

How could you agree to that?

Mo Xiao.

Your current body

won't be able to take it.

Master.

Madam.

Chong Guang has already activated the Sura Demonic Stone.

After he gathered the three demonic stones,

the Immortal Sect is facing a calamity more dreadful

than any previous ones.

At this time,

the Immortal Sect must not fall into disarray.

If this can dissipate the grievances

among the Immortal Sect

and let everyone unite

against the Demonic Sect,

I'm willing to accept any punishment.

Mo Xiao,

why are you doing this?

Do you know what they think of you? They…

Junior sister.

Mo Xiao.

Let me ask you.

Now everyone in the Immortal Sect

is blaming you,

slandering you,

and even trying to remove you from your position as the Sect Leader.

Don't you feel wronged?

If it means they can fight against the Demonic Sect

and stop Chong Guang from harming others again,

never mind the position of the Sect Leader,

even if it means I'll suffer eternal damnation,

I am also willing.

Why are you here?

I came to make a deal with you.

You and I?

Feng Lixue.

Don't be mistaken.

If it weren't for the Ice Cicada

inside your body,

I'd kill you anytime and anywhere.

Yet, you want to make a deal with me.

Besides your life,

there is nothing on you that I want.

Not even the Ice Cicada

inside my body?

What do you mean?

You know,

I don't want the Ice Cicada.

It's just a pity I can't destroy myself.

Why me?

On the Suyu Mountain,

there is no one who wants to kill me more than you, is there?

Aren't you afraid I'd take the chance to kill you?

You won't.

If I no longer have the Ice Cicada,

I will pose no threat to you.

And you…

You can replace me

and become the most important person to Chong Guang.

You can tell Chong Guang

that you couldn't bear to see me self-destruct the Ice Cicada,

so you made a sacrifice

and became the new vessel.

If you kill me,

there will be no one to vouch for you.

Chong Guang

will also kill you.

You have planned everything thoroughly.

That's right.

You are the missing piece.

Then how can I trust you?

You don't need to trust me.

You just need to trust this knife.

Lord, what happened to you?

Feng Lixue.

Lixue is in danger.

How can I strip out the Ice Cicada?

Lord.

The Ice Cicada is injured.

Take care of your body.

Lord.

To prevent the Ice Cicada from mutating,

you should quickly strip it out.

Shut up.

Lord.

Don't waste your magic power like this.

Not only will you not be able to save the Ice Cicada,

but you also won't be able to unite the three sacred stones

and gain supreme demonic power.

You won't be able to open the Celestial Edict.

Supreme demonic power?

That's right.

Supreme demonic power

can save Lixue.

Lord, you plan to use the power of the three sacred stones

to save Feng Lixue?

- No. - Why not?

In order to retrieve these three sacred stones,

you have painstakingly planned for so many years.

Now, you have finally achieved your wish.

Lord, don't forget

that these sacred stones can not only greatly increase your magic power,

but also help you conquer

the backlash of Love and Desire in your body.

If you give all these to Feng Lixue…

Lord.

For your grand ambitions,

you absolutely can't.

Chang Ming.

Take her back to Shaohao Palace to rest.

I am going into seclusion.

Do not disturb.

Yes.

Mother.

Chao, you're back.

How is it? Are there any clues?

That day,

I seized the opportunity of Fengdu City's blessing ceremony

and released the Demonic Spirit.

Indeed, one of them responded.

It did?

Tell me quickly.

Who did it respond to?

Although it's not confirmed yet,

I suspect

that he is the Young Master of Tielv Division in the Shushan Sect,

Xie Lingyun.

The Shushan Sect?

Young Master?

No, no way.

No way.

How can the son of the Demon Lord

be at the Immortal Shushan Sect?

Chao, you must be mistaken.

I only made this guess based on the response

of the Demonic Spirit.

Given his identity,

being raised within the Shushan Sect

is indeed a bit strange.

Impossible.

That's impossible.

Mother,

actually, after the lantern festival,

I followed him for a while again.

But strangely,

he didn't have the Tianmo mark on him.

And his personality

is indeed far from what you expected.

Chao.

Check carefully again.

No matter who he is

or what his identity is,

once you find him, he has only one identity.

He is the bloodline of Ye Yuan.

The true Demon Lord

of the Demonic Clan.

The Demonic Edict.

I have successfully restored the Demonic Edict.

Why hasn't he arrived yet?

Is he having second thoughts and not coming?

If he does that,

how can he be a Sect Leader?

If he doesn't come today,

from now on, the Shushan Sect

should no longer claim to be the foremost sect.

If Mo Xiao doesn't come,

what will happen to these spirits?

Where there is a will, there is a way.

If he doesn't come,

do you think these spirits won't be able to pass on?

He has already had a tough time.

Last night,

while he wasn't paying attention,

I added some intoxicating

drugs to his drink.

Presumably today,

he won't be able to wake up.

Mr. Yuan,

what is the purpose of the Sect Leader Mo Xiao?

The time has come,

but he is still not here.

If he isn't sincere,

why make promises in front of all the sects?

Sect Leaders,

I am Xie Lingyun, Young Bishop of the Tielv Division in the Shushan Sect.

Today,

I will guide the spirits

for the disciples on behalf of the Sect Leader.

No.

All the Immortal Sect disciples

died unjustly because the Sect Leader wrongly trusted the witch of the Tianxing Sect.

If he doesn't come,

I fear their grievances won't be resolved.

You cannot substitute him.

I'm here.

Mo Xiao.

It is his duty.

Even if the world is upside down,

he still has to bear it.

Let him do it.

Since the Sect Leader is here,

let's begin.

Why did you betray us?

- You should die. - I won't forgive you, Mo Xiao.

What Sword Lord successor?

You should have died for us.

Why are you still alive?

Mo Xiao, I died a terrible death.

Mo Xiao, it's all your fault.

You are not fit to be the Sect Leader.

Come down with me.

Mo Xiao.

You must remember,

no matter where you are,

as long as your heart is righteous,

you do not need

to feel guilty to anyone.

Master.

Master.

Senior Brother Lu.

What are you doing?

Nothing.

[Soul-transferring Spell]

Master.

Don't come over.

Don't come over.

Master.

Quick, capture him.

Master.

Junior Sister.

Stop, all of you.

Nobody moves.

Immortal leaders.

Immortal leaders.

All disciples.

It happened fast,

but you should not panic.

I believe

that with my Senior Brother and Junior Sister around,

everything will be fine.

You can rest assured.

Don't mess around.

Those are all carefully organized.

Don't mess around.

Soul-transferring Spell?

There is this kind of technique in the Shushan Sect.

You are not a little girl.

Don't mess with other people's things.

I told you not to come but you insisted on coming.

[Soul-transferring Spell] Then you messed up all the things I organized.

Alright, I'm done. Let's go.

Dad, the Soul-transferring Spell,

what kind of technique is it?

Why have I never seen it?

Anyway, it's none of your business.

This Soul-transferring Spell

is a technique in the Shushan Sect

to eliminate evil spirits and demons.

Disciples with shallow skills shouldn't see it.

How could this happen?

How could he possibly have demonic energy in him?

Mo Xiao has been demonized.

Who knows if he will

harm the Immortal Sect disciples again?

Why won't the Shushan Sect hand him over?

Today, everyone

has seen it.

Mr. Yuan.

What else is there to say?

Why did the demonic energy

suddenly erupt from Mo Xiao?

Doesn't the Shushan Sect

own everyone an explanation?

Mr. Yuan.

If you keep protecting Mo Xiao blindly,

I'm afraid all the immortal sects

will intervene in the Shushan Sect's internal affairs

and reassign the person in charge.

Immortal leaders.

Everyone, please keep calm.

I think

Senior Brother Yuan has his reasons.

Mo Xiao suddenly got hit by demonic energy,

and we didn't see it coming.

Please believe that we are

as shocked as everyone else.

What is so shocking about it?

At that time, Mo Xiao fought a great battle with Chong Guang.

He was injured by the mysterious demonic power of Chong Guang.

When his injury was not yet healed,

he was forced by you to guide souls at the Sea of Rebirth,

so the residual demonic power within him erupted.

Isn't it normal?

Mysterious demonic power?

In other words,

no one can solve the demonic power within him?

How could this happen?

If the Sect Leader of the Shushan Sect

gets demonized by Chong Guang of the Demonic Sect,

and the word gets out,

it will not only bring shame to you,

but also cause panic among the people.

If his demonic nature goes rampant,

wouldn't all our sects be compelled to fight him

to the point of mutual destruction?

Yes, exactly.

We cannot allow this to happen.

What are you saying?

Junior Sister.

You don't need to be angry.

Everyone,

given the current situation,

we cannot let ourselves be in disarray.

Otherwise,

as the righteous immortal sects,

we'll fall into the trap of the Demonic Sect.

Now the Sect Leader

was injured by the mysterious demonic power of Chong Guang.

Whether he has been demonized,

and whether he is human or demon,

none of us know.

But,

perhaps there is a way

to resolve everyone's doubts.

What way?

Everyone knows

that the Shushan Sect

built a Demon Subduing Palace.

It was specifically built to suppress demons.

If you are born a demon

and enter the Demon Subduing Palace,

your demonic bones, demonic blood, and demonic heart

will all be refined away.

From then on,

you will be reborn and become a new person.

If he is originally human and not demon,

upon entering the Demon Subduing Palace,

he can also cleanse his heart

and become a new person.

That's right.

The Demon Subduing Palace can indeed suppress his demonic nature.

But the Demon Subduing Palace

was specifically built for demons.

I think

we all know very well

that perhaps the Demon Subduing Palace

is the only way to cure Mo Xiao.

But…

Alright.

Stop arguing.

Let's let Mo Xiao

enter the Demon Subduing Palace.

Lixue.

Lixue.

What did you do to her?

Lord.

We went through great pains to retrieve these three sacred stones.

We are on the brink of success.

But now, at this critical moment,

you used the power of the three sacred stones and saved Feng Lixue.

Now inside her body,

there is not only the Ice Cicada,

but also the supreme demonic power from these three sacred stones.

If at this moment,

she harbors any thoughts of harming you,

the consequences would be unimaginable.

So?

So,

I placed a puppet curse inside her body.

You placed a puppet curse on her?

I did this all for you.

I know

you can't bear to harm Lixue.

You don't want to strip the Ice Cicada from her body

and you used the power of the three sacred stones to save her.

But for me,

you are also very important.

Protecting you

is my duty.

Your loyalty is rare.

But you dared to hurt her,

so I

can't forgive you.

Lord,

you can punish me,

but now, Feng Lixue

is completely loyal to you.

As long as you immediately marry her now

and let the Ice Cicada unite,

the Ice Cicada and the supreme demonic power of the three sacred stones

will still belong to you, my lord.

I will find a way

to obtain what I want.

It is not your place to arrange things.

Lord,

the puppet curse I placed on her

will not actually harm her.

If you still think

that I overstepped my authority,

I will go to the Demonic Prison to take my punishment.

I know you are loyal to me,

but next time,

if you dare to act presumptuously again,

I will not pardon you easily.

Get out.

Thank you, Lord.

Today,

I have two announcements.

Firstly,

back then,

the Demonic Clan battled with the Immortal Sect

and the Demonic Edict was destroyed.

Now, I have collected three sacred stones

and restored the Demonic Edict.

The sacred artifact of the Demonic Clan

has once again

appeared in the world.

Long live the Demonic Clan.

Long live the Demon Lord.

Secondly,

the Star Lord of the Shaohao Palace, Feng Lixue

helped me recover the three sacred stones.

Her contributions cannot be overlooked.

From today on,

she will be

the Demon Queen of the Demonic Clan.

She will join me,

with supreme demonic power,

in protecting you and helping you obtain

everything you desire.

Congratulations, Demon Lord.

Congratulations, Demon Queen.

Congratulations, Demon Lord.

Congratulations, Demon Queen.

Lixue,

I want everyone in the world

to witness

your coronation ceremony.
