[Episode 32]

Chong Guang.

You cannot activate the Demonic Edict.

Why not?

The Demonic Edict is the sacred artifact of the Demonic Clan.

Only members of the Demonic Clan can activate it.

You are not of the Demonic Clan.

Though you are a Demon Lord,

if you defy the heavenly way and activate the Demonic Clan's sacred artifact,

it will bring great calamity to the Demonic Clan.

All sect leaders and elders,

I'm sure you understand it

better than I do that what's at stake.

Fine.

Great.

You want to cling to Chong Guang,

so much so that you're ignoring the clan rules

and the future of our Demonic Clan.

But I, Xu Yuan Wushuang,

cannot sit idly by.

Today,

I must do something for all of you

and my deceased husband Ye Yuan,

and safeguard the sacred artifact of our Demonic Clan.

Demonic Edict invoked.

The hundreds of thousands of demon soldiers sleeping in the demon realm,

wake up.

Demonic Edict invoked.

Demon soldiers, heed the call.

It failed.

Chong Guang.

You simply cannot activate the Demonic Edict.

Indeed, it is awkward.

Star Lord Xu Yuan, you need not worry about me.

If I can find the three sacred stones,

I can find the mechanism

to activate the Demonic Edict.

These Demonic Spirits of yours

cannot harm me at all.

Tu Shuo.

Long time no see.

Look

at what I have brought.

Chong Guang.

I have waited for you here for 18 years.

You did come with the Demonic Edict.

Did you restore

the Demonic Edict?

Speaking of which,

we have Ye Yuan to thank.

I think

you have met his son, right?

You must have helped him

escape from the Demonic Abyss.

Can your Demonic Edict

summon the hundred thousand demon soldiers?

You knew.

I did.

I knew it 18 years ago.

Could you tell me

what exactly you know?

Lord Ye Yuan

entrusted the Demonic Sect to your hands,

but,

even if you have restored the Demonic Edict,

you still cannot summon the demon soldiers.

Why?

You should still remember

the baby's cry

down the Buzhou Mountain.

What do you mean?

To activate the Demonic Edict

and summon an army of one hundred thousand demon soldiers,

it requires Ye Yuan's bloodline,

the true lord of the Demonic Clan.

Back then, Lord Ye Yuan

knew his child had been born,

and thus he entrusted the Demonic Clan to you.

So,

the Demonic Edict

ultimately belongs to the Demonic Clan's

Young Lord.

You have to give the Edict to him

and also protect him.

Because without him,

your ambition will come to naught.

I see.

Ye Yuan

asked me

to manage the Demonic Clan before dying

because he wanted me to restore the Demonic Edict.

When his son grows up,

I'll hand over all the achievements to him.

Brilliant plan.

It is indeed the strategy of a Demon Lord.

Back then,

due to my opposition to your taking the throne,

you threw me into the Demonic Abyss.

But you didn't expect

that I survived

and lived for another 18 years.

Because

I want to see with my own eyes

the true lord of the Demonic Clan returns

and replaces you.

To thank you for telling me this,

I allow you

to continue living here.

I also need to let you see

how I will make the father and son

of the Demonic Clan

fight with total dedication

for my grand plan.

Quickly.

Get him inside.

- Yes. - Yes.

Senior brother.

I'm afraid Mo Xiao's background

can't be hidden anymore.

In the end, I couldn't hide it from you.

The seal within him

has been opened by the mysterious power of Chong Guang.

Now,

the demonic aura is erupting.

Although I can temporarily suppress it,

it is only temporary,

not a long-term solution.

Is there really

no other way?

Why did you and the Sword Lord

hide Mo Xiao in the Shushan Sect

and teach him the Fengyue Swordmanship?

I can ignore that,

but you need to think carefully.

Do you really want to make him the Sect Leader?

You know Mo Xiao's background.

- What if… - You must have already noticed

that now

Mo Xiao possesses the strongest power of both the righteous and demonic paths.

If the Shushan Sect abandons him,

I don't know what will happen.

Senior brother.

When you and the Sword Lord

taught him the Fengyue Swordmanship,

you should have thought of this consequence.

Did you think

that you two could change his fate?

The Sword Lord had foreseen this long ago.

My mission is to protect Mo Xiao all my life

to fulfill the Sword Lord's last wishes.

This is an endeavor

that takes the combined efforts

of the Sword Lord, Mo Xiao, and me.

I can't have second thoughts

or retreat.

Neither can Mo Xiao.

Do you have any solution

to continually protect his righteous heart

from being invaded by the demonic heart?

You two

should step outside the hall

and keep watch outside the courtyard.

Allow no one to approach.

Yes.

When the day comes that I meet my end,

make sure to protect his nature.

Do not let his inner demons re-emerge.

In the event of a great calamity in the future,

he will be the successor to turn the tide

and protect the Celestial Edict.

Only you know this.

You must not tell a second person.

The demonic energy within you is getting stronger.

I am unable to seal it for you.

I can only suppress it temporarily.

Hopefully, tomorrow's trip to the Demon Subduing Palace

will refine and remove your demonic nature,

turning misfortune into blessing

and helping you overcome this tribulation.

Bring the qin here.

Lixue.

I shall play a tune for you

to lift your spirits.

The qin body would be made

of the yang tree's wood as the exterior,

and the yin tree's wood as the interior.

From then on, the two trees of yin and yang were united again

and remained together forever and ever.

Lixue.

Don't be afraid, don't be afraid.

Master is here.

I'm here by your side.

Don't be afraid.

I'm here by your side.

It's okay. Don't be afraid.

You're alright.

I won't

play the qin anymore.

In the future, I will

be right by your side

and keep you company.

Don't be afraid.

I will protect you.

Lord.

A message from the Shushan Sect said

Mo Xiao tried to guide the souls of the injured Shushan Sect disciples

by the Sura Sacred Stone

and the ones who perished in Fengdu City,

but his demon nature erupted.

The Shushan Sect will lock him in the Demon Subduing Palace tomorrow.

Demon Subduing Palace?

Demon Subduing Palace.

Demon Subduing Palace.

Lixue,

we have to make a trip

to the Shushan Sect together.

Star Lord, you don't need to worry too much.

After all, the Demonic Edict hasn't actually been activated yet.

Chong Guang arrogantly dreams of leading one hundred thousand demon soldiers.

It is such an important sacred artifact.

Ye Yuan

won't casually give it to him.

Mother.

Mother, I know.

The Demonic Spirit's changing to the sacred stones

and the sacred stones reactivating the Demonic Spirit

both require Ye Yuan's bloodline.

That is to say,

Chong Guang activated the sacred stones twice,

and Ye Yuan's son was present both times.

I know who he is.

Who is he?

He is the Sect Leader of the Shushan Sect,

Mo Xiao

Master.

You're awake.

I unintentionally offended Mr. Xuan Zhen yesterday.

Please punish me, Master.

You know it all.

I do.

You were injured by Chong Guang's mysterious magic.

Additionally, you were possessed by the demon spirits while guiding souls.

The demonic nature within you is extremely strong.

I can no longer seal it,

but only temporarily suppress it for you.

The Demon Subduing Palace is,

although extremely dangerous,

the only place that can help you

remove your demonic nature.

I can only agree to it.

Do not feel wronged in your heart.

Master, you're looking out for me.

I don't feel wronged.

Stand up.

Mo Xiao,

you must remember

that you bear the unfulfilled will of the Sword Lord.

Now Chong Guang has activated three demonic stones.

He is about to summon an army of a hundred thousand demon soldiers

and seize the Celestial Edict.

At this moment,

it does not matter if you can retain the position of the Shushan Sect Leader.

More importantly,

you must preserve your heart to subdue demons.

The future path of demon subjugation

is fraught with unpredictable dangers.

But regardless of anything,

as long as you firmly remember the Sword Lord's will

and keep your true heart,

you can surely turn danger into safety.

Whether you can get through this time

depends on whether your determination

is firm enough.

I

understand.

Senior Brother.

I just went to the Tiance Yard.

Zifeng said you were looking for me.

Soon, he will enter the Demon Subduing Palace.

I asked him to come over

to spend some time alone with the Sword Lord.

Junior Sister.

I know

you have always disliked dealing with the internal affairs of the sect,

and I never forced you either.

However, today, for the Demon Subduing Palace trial,

the result is unknown.

There is one thing

I have to entrust to you now.

Senior brother.

Have you already prepared for the worst?

In any case,

whether Mo Xiao is righteous or evil,

he mustn't be harmed.

From today onwards,

no matter what happens,

remember not to step forward and protect me.

Just ensure your own safety.

I have an important task to entrust.

Senior brother.

Lord,

yesterday, just like ten years ago,

my rampant demonic nature erupted.

Master only said I was injured by a mysterious demonic power,

but I know

that my demonic nature

was sealed by you ten years ago.

Lord,

why is there such a strong

demonic nature within my body?

And why did you and the Master

hide the matter of sealing it for me?

I've always been afraid to ask,

but

this doubt has lingered in my heart for ten years.

Lord.

Who am I?

[Demon Subduing Palace]

[Demon Subduing Palace]

Mo Xiao,

enter the Demon Subduing Palace.

The Shushan Sect disciples are here awaiting the Sect Leader.

It seems that Star Lord Xu Yuan knows everything.

Chong Guang.

You hid it from me for so many years.

Once I save my son,

sooner or later,

I will settle the account with you.

Fine.

I'll wait.

But today,

I will first lend you a hand.

I can save him myself.

No need for you to worry.

Do you think you can trap me like this?

Do you think you can trap me like this?

Mo Xiao.

Sword Lord.

Is that you, Sword Lord?

Mo Xiao.

Have you forgotten?

I dare not forget.

Disciple Mo Xiao

hereby solemnly swears:

To inherit the legacy

of our predecessors.

To remain unmoved

by earthly desires.

To cultivate enlightenment

and protect eternity.

You must remember.

No matter where you are,

as long as your heart is righteous,

you do not need to feel guilty to anyone.

Lord.

Mo Xiao's demonic nature is very strong.

To completely refine it is not an easy task.

Mo Xiao.

He made it through.

What is that?

A demon.

He has become a demon.

I am not a demon.

I am not.

The Tianmo mark.

The Tianmo mark.

You truly have the Tianmo mark on your body.

You are my son.

Ye Yuan.

Do you see this?

Our child.

I have found our child.

A demon child.

Mo Xiao turned out to be a demon child.

Shushan Sect disciples.

Set up the sword formation immediately

and capture him.

Yes.

Don't even think about touching him.

I am not a demon.

I am not a demon.

I am not a demon.

Mo Xiao.

You are not a demon.

You are the successor of the Sword Lord.

You are the future of the Immortal Sect.

Yuan Beichen.

Stop deceiving him anymore.

Three Sacred Stones

need the bloodline of Ye Yuan to activate.

If he is not the demon child,

how could I have activated the three sacred stones?

He…

is the demon child.

Yuan Beichen.

You can't cover it up anymore.

Mo Xiao.

Remember my words.

No matter where you are,

your righteous heart must not change.

Master Uncle.

- Senior. - Senior.

- Master Uncle. - Brother.

Mo Xiao.

Protect your heart with the sword.

Your righteous heart must not change.

Protect your heart with the sword.

Your righteous heart must not change.

I would never have thought

that the Fengyue Sword Lord would take my child away.

Use the Fengyue Sword to suppress the demonic power within.

He wants to use the Fengyue Sword to resist the demonic power within.

Take his sword.

Demonic cult scum,

how dare you behave atrociously in the Shushan Sect?

Disciples, hear my order.

Take the Fengyue Sword back.

Kill Mo Xiao.

Don't come here.

I can't control myself anymore.

Don't come near me.

All disciples, hear my order.

Follow me to chase and kill Mo Xiao.

Yes.

- Go save Mo Xiao. - Senior Brother.

Senior Brother,

you should take care of yourself first.

I am fine.

[Fengyue Sword Lord]

Disciple Mo Xiao

hereby solemnly swears:

To inherit the legacy

of our predecessors.

To remain unmoved

by earthly desires.

To cultivate enlightenment

and protect eternity.

Why?

Why did you let me inherit your will

knowing that I was a demon?

Why?

Why?

Mo Xiao.

You demon child.

Look what you've become.

I will avenge the Immortal Sect disciples.

Stop!

How dare you slaughter your fellow disciples?

- Mo Xiao. - Mo Xiao.

Mo Xiao has become a demon,

slaughtering his fellow disciples. Young Master Xie, save me.

No, you are the demon!

Seize this demon child!

Come on,

form the sword formation!

Don't be afraid.

I will protect you.

I don't need your protection.

Your swordsmanship is not as good as mine.

But I am not afraid of bugs.

Then we will protect each other.

Sure, bro.

Heaven and earth,

no matter where,

I will be on your side.

Mo Xiao.

You rascal.

Since when did you become the Young Leader of the Shushan Sect?

When we were in Xuanqing Yard,

if I hadn't come to keep you company from time to time,

you would have been bored to death.

Considering I kept you entertained,

don't tell anyone that I sneaked into Xuanqing Yard

to catch a longicorn.

You don't believe me?

You have become a demon,

I cannot stand by and watch you

harm the fellow disciples of the Shushan Sect.

But I didn't.
