[Episode 37]

You went to the Spiritual Palace?

You cried?

I see you as a treasure,

but you demean yourself.

Why?

Isn't this

what you want?

We are disciples of Shushan Sect, after all.

I think it's inappropriate to go to Suyu Mountain like this.

No way.

They will definitely take us as spies.

Then we shall act according to rituals,

saying we are looking for the Young Master.

We still don't know the Young Master's situation.

What if Chong Guang considers him an enemy?

If we visit like this,

we will be walking into a trap.

So what do you suggest?

We can't just stay at the entrance

and wait like this.

Young Master Jing.

- Young Master Jing. - Young Master Jing.

Zifeng, Zimu.

Why are you here?

Since the day Mo Xiao fell off the cliff,

you two disappeared.

Where did you go?

We went to find the Sect Leader…

The Young Master.

I see.

For the rest of my life,

swear to serve him to death.

This is the oath we swore when we were little

before the spirits of all the past Sword Lords.

No matter where he is,

we will always be by his side.

Yes.

Whoever he is,

I only know

he is Mo Xiao.

I'm not here to fight with you,

but to look for someone.

Go and inform Mo Xiao now.

Just say

his old friends are here to see him.

Don't catch a cold.

No need.

You have come back with me,

and I understand how upset you are,

but since you have come back,

you need to plan for the future

and stop being upset every day.

Coming back with you

and everything I have done now

are what I want.

You don't have to treat me like this.

From now on, don't

mind my business.

Mo Xiao.

You can hate the Tianmo Sect,

or your background,

but the only one you cannot hate

is a mother who has lost her child.

Do you have any idea how she has lived over these years?

She treated me as if I were you,

but often felt guilty

for loving me too much.

For so many years,

she's been living cautiously

and deeply blaming herself.

You can hate everyone,

but the only person you cannot hate is her.

Chao, enough.

Your friends are in the main hall.

- Young Master. - Why are you here?

We pledge to serve you to the death.

I said

I am no longer your Young Master.

This is the Tianmo Sect,

and you are disciples of the Immortal Sect,

you should not be here.

Leave.

Young Master.

Back then,

we swore an oath before the spirits of the past Sword Lords

that no matter where you are,

we pledge to serve you to the death.

Young Master.

Things may change,

but the oath before spirits cannot change.

We pledge to serve you to the death.

And this will not change in this lifetime.

I said I am no longer your Young Master.

I am the Young Lord of Tianmo Sect.

Mo Xiao.

In my mind,

you are always Mo Xiao from Xuanqing Yard.

Young Master.

No matter where you are or who you are,

you will always be our Young Master.

Mo Xiao.

The Shushan Sect has changed,

and everything has changed,

but I know

you will not change,

right?

Mo Xiao.

You have a way, right?

Can you bring the Shushan Sect back?

I'll say it again.

This is the sacred land of Demon Clan.

As disciples of the immortal sect, you should not be here.

Leave.

Ladies,

are you friends of Mo Xiao?

I am Xu Yuan Wushuang, the Star Lord of Spiritual Palace.

I am Mo Xiao's mother.

Now,

you still come to visit him here at Suyu Mountain.

I bet you have a deep bond in the past.

As his mother,

I thank you on his behalf.

But…

Mo Xiao

does not want to talk to us.

Something unexpected has happened,

it is hard for him to accept

at the moment.

Please don't blame him.

I have already told someone

to prepare the rooms for you.

You can stay.

Don't worry.

On the Suyu Mountain,

only Spiritual Palace

is a place that even Chong Guang cannot trespass.

In here,

don't mind the difference between immortals and demons.

You are friends of Mo Xiao,

also my guests.

Thank you, Star Lord Xu Yuan.

Ladies,

come with me.

Do you think

Mo Xiao

is really going to be the Young Lord of Tianmo Sect

and no longer talk to us?

Of course not.

Young Master,

definitely not.

Right.

It is impossible for him to be the Young Lord.

I think

he must have his difficulties

or plans.

Young Master.

This place is quite peaceful.

You should rest well,

and tomorrow I will send you down the mountain.

No.

Mo Xiao.

I'm not going back to the Shushan Sect.

Not going back?

Do you also want to become a demon?

Anyway, I'm not going back.

Actually, I know

you didn't kill

the Shushan Sect disciples

in the Xuanqing Yard,

but Lu Jianchuan.

How do you know?

I also know

that in the Sea of Rebirth,

when you were delivering the spirits of the deceased immortal sect disciples,

your demon nature erupted,

which was caused by Lu Jianchuan who secretly used the Soul-transferring Spell

to lure out the demonic power sealed in your body for a long time.

You've never intended to harm your fellow disciples.

I believe

it's not you who has changed,

but those who don't trust you

and only want to drive you out of the Shushan Sect.

I don't have to go back

to such a Shushan Sect.

He secretly practiced the forbidden techniques of Shushan Sect.

Mo Xiao.

Have you ever thought

who gave him

the Soul-transferring Spell?

This is already in the past.

You knew it, right?

You knew it all along.

You were afraid of hurting me and Ce.

That day, you lost control,

and Elder Yuan was thrown into

the Tielv Division in order to protect you.

It's all because of him and Lu Jianchuan.

You knew it all?

So did Elder Yuan.

You had doubted him for a long time, didn't you?

But,

why didn't Elder Yuan expose him?

Was

Elder Yuan really like they say?

Master was resolved,

would never do what they're slandering him for.

But that day, I secretly followed Father

and found him sneaking into Elder Yuan's room,

looking for something.

I discovered this.

I recognize

it is the artifact of Ji Xingluo, the Star Lord of the Dark Soul Palace of Demonic Sect.

I was afraid of being discovered by father,

so I secretly hid it.

This is the token of love between Yuan Beichen and Star Lord Ji.

During the great battle at the Desire Valley,

Star Lord Ji's Dark Soul Whip was once destroyed by him.

Unexpectedly,

he made a new one for her.

When Yuan Beichen had not yet taken over the position of Sect Leader,

he once infiltrated the Demonic Sect.

And the reason he could infiltrate the Demonic Sect

was that he saved Ji Xingluo

at the shore of the East Sea.

Yuan Beichen and Ji Xingluo grew fond of each other over time.

That year, Star Lord Ji

had already prepared to leave the Demonic Sect,

and eloped with Yuan Beichen.

Unexpectedly,

the Shushan Sect summoned Yuan Beichen back,

and asked him to take over the position of Sect Leader.

Yuan Beichen didn't refuse the position of Sect Leader,

thus he betrayed Star Lord Ji.

So,

Elder Yuan

was also wronged and died because of them.

Ladies,

Suyu Mountain is located in a damp and shady place.

And you ladies are wearing thin clothes,

so I picked some new clothes

from Tian Xin to you.

It's getting late.

You should rest early.

I will take my leave.

Mo Xiao.

Do you have any way to stop my father?

I know

he must be up to something bad,

but I can't stop him.

Can you help me stop him?

I don't want him to go astray.

These matters of the immortal sect

have nothing to do with me anymore.

Now I am the son of Ye Yuan,

the Young Lord of Demonic Sect.

You're not practicing properly in the Shushan Sect,

yet come here seeking help from me, a demon child.

Ridiculous!

It's a disgrace considering your years of practice in the immortal sect.

Tomorrow,

you'll get down the mountain.

Young Master.

Thank you.

They are your friends,

also my guests.

Between us,

there's no need for thanks.

I am waiting here for you for something else.

Please come with me.

Here

is your father's memorial hall.

For these 18 years,

I have prayed countless times here

hoping he would bless me to find you soon.

You were taken away right after you were born,

and I didn't even know who took you,

[Husband Ye Yuan's Memorial Tablet]

whether you were alive

or dead,

whether you were

living well

or poorly.

But I didn't expect

when I found you,

you were already the Sect Leader of Shushan Sect.

[Sword Lord Fengyue's Memorial Tablet]

[Yuan Beichen's Memorial Tablet]

Since

I read your master's last words with you,

I finally understand

the painstaking efforts of the Sword Lord Fengyue.

You know,

I am not part of the Demonic Clan.

Back then, I fell for your father,

so ignored the opposition from the clansmen

and left the clan members behind to be his Demon Queen.

The Demonic Clan

was not recognized by the Gods Realm,

so the clansmen suffered from displacement.

It was Ye Yuan who brought them to Suyu Mountain

and found a place to settle down.

Later,

the clan gradually prospered.

When I fell for your father,

he was someone

who could do everything

to his clansmen.

[Sword Lord Fengyue's Memorial Tablet]

Your master was right.

Back then,

if he hadn't taken you away,

you would have definitely become

the target of Chong Guang and more people

because you're the son of Ye Yuan.

I don't know

whether

I could protect you,

and whether you

could grow up safely.

So I need to thank

your master and Sword Lord Fengyue.

It was the two of them

who raised you to be such an outstanding young man.

From now on,

I would set up shrines

for the two of them here,

offering incense

and praying for them every day.

Mother.

Mother.

Sorry.

You've suffered.

I'm sorry.

Mother.

Mother.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Young Master Jing.

It's getting late.

You should rest.

Leave the things tomorrow.

Zifeng,

you knew it all along,

right?

What?

The matters

of my father and Lu Jianchuan.

The Young Master only asked us

to secretly investigate Lu Jianchuan.

But regarding Master…

I didn't expect it either.

Alright.

It's late.

I feel a tightness in my chest.

I want to go out and get some fresh air. You guys go to sleep first.

Young Master Jing.

This is Suyu Mountain.

Don't wander around.

Don't worry.

I won't.

Lord.

Three ladies from the immortal sects have come to the Spiritual Palace.

If I am correct,

they are the Young Master of Fengyu Division

and the two guardians who are with Mo Xiao.

The person from the entrance

directly brought them to Spiritual Palace.

I heard

that Mo Xiao is indifferent

and keeps people at a distance.

After they met,

he drove the three off the mountain.

Later, it was Star Lord Xu Yuan

who temporarily kept them stay.

Lord.

Is Mo Xiao

really going to help you activate the Demonic Edict

and achieve the great things together?

As long as he stays on Suyu Mountain,

this is his only choice.

Terrible.

This is a maze.

The courtyard of Suyu Mountain?

Poison of the Rootless Flower?

The Elder Yuan got poisoned,

which is related to the owner of this courtyard.

Jing.

Who is the owner

of this courtyard?

Young Lord.

Murong Jing requests to see you.

Do you suspect the owner of the courtyard at Suyu Mountain

secretly colludes with the Fengyu Division of Shushan Sect?

Mo Xiao.

Do you still remember?

When Lingyun and I went up Suyu Mountain

to help you break the Suyu Tripod,

but at the cliff,

I was captured by someone and taken to a courtyard.

At that time, I was puzzled

why he captured disciples of Shushan Sect,

yet did not seek credit from Chong Guang

and did not harm me.

Moreover,

I was poisoned by the flower,

and he even gave me the antidote.

Just now, when I walked into the courtyard, I found

that it was the Rootless Flower.

In the house,

I found the Wind Chime.

When I went

to get the antidote for Rootless Flower,

I have been to that courtyard.

That is the courtyard of Chong Guang's guardian,

Chong Guang.

Chong Guang's guardian?

But why does he have the chime of Fengyu Division?

Could it be my father…

Mo Xiao.

Please

save the Shushan Sect.

Mother.

Mo Xiao.

Why are you still awake so late?

You don't look good.

What's wrong?

What happened?

I have something

to ask you.

Go ahead.

You took me from Lishui River to Suyu Mountain,

what do you expect me to do?

What do you mean?

I mean,

after you found me,

what do you expect from me?

[Husband Ye Yuan's Memorial Tablet] I hope

you can be like your father,

becoming the greatest lord of the Demonic Clan

and driving away that ambitious Chong Guang

from the Tianmo Sect.

Back then,

if he didn't come,

Ye Yuan would not have tried to seize the Celestial Edict.

I hope

you can make up for your father's mistakes

and let Demonic Clan

return to peace.

Don't you want me

to inherit my father's will

and to retrieve the Celestial Edict?

No.

I don't.

Mo Xiao.

I would rather have never found you,

than let you have anything to do with the Celestial Edict.

I have already lost you once,

please don't make me

go through it again.

Okay?

Mother, rest assured.

I will not side with Chong Guang.

However, Chong Guang set up traps,

using the demonic stones to activate the Demonic Edict

all to retrieve the Celestial Edict.

He will never give up easily.

You must not be used by Chong Guang.

As long as you don't help him,

then he couldn't activate

the Demonic Edict.

He can't activate the Demonic Edict?

Even though he has already gathered three sacred stones,

and restored the Demonic Edict,

I heard

the Demonic Edict

can only be activated by the bloodline of Ye Yuan.

Without you,

he couldn't mobilize 100,000 demon soldiers.

Mo Xiao.

Do you really want to drive us away?

We are like fire and water.

When we meet again,

we will be enemies.

Do we have to be this way?

Considering our old friendship,

I let you stay the night.

If you keep pestering,

I will have to treat you as spies from the immortal sects.

Fine.

Since you are that ruthless,

then we won't stay.

From now on,

we will cut ties.

Zifeng, Zimu.

Let's go.

Only when significant events occur in the Demonic Clan

will the Demonic Bell be rung.

But now, at Suyu Mountain,

it's calm and quiet.

Who rang

the bell?

It's me.

So it's

you, Star Lord Xu Yuan.

Why did you ring the bell?

Everyone knows

years ago, Ye Yuan died

and our son mysteriously disappeared.

The Demonic Clan had no one to succeed the position of the Demon Lord.

Thus, Great Guardian Chong Guang temporarily assumed the position.

Now,

my son has returned.

And the position of the Demon Lord

should be returned to him.

Greetings, Young Lord.

Greetings, Young Lord.

Are you sure

that you want to sit in this position?

Since it's mine,

I had no other choice.

I have retrieved Ye Yuan's son,

so this position of the Demon Lord

should be returned to him.

Are you sure?

Do I have any other choice?

Back then,

before Ye Yuan's body,

I promised to him

that if I found the Young Lord,

I would guide him

to become the Demon Lord.

And I haven't forgotten

this promise.

Unfortunately,

the Young Lord who has returned now

grew up in the Shushan Sect,

under the teachings of the righteous path for a long time,

and once damaged us,

broke the Suyu Tripod,

destroyed the Ancestor Hall,

and repeatedly led the crowd to severely injure the Demonic Clan.

You are indeed the son of Ye Yuan.

But how do you convince us

that you

indeed belong to us?

Yes.

The Young Lord grew up in the Immortal Sect,

always hostile to the Tianmo Sect.

Now he suddenly returned

and united with us to revive the Tianmo Sect?

What do you want?

To revive the Demonic Clan,

your father sent troops

to Buzhou Mountain

and seize the Celestial Edict.

What a pity.

He died before success.

If you really want to revive the Demonic Clan,

you should inherit the will of your late father.

Chong Guang.

You want my son to seize the Celestial Edict again?

I will surely fulfil

the will of my late father.

Are you sure?

But please

return me the position of the Demon Lord and the Demonic Edict.

Alright.

Tomorrow at the Ancestor Hall,

if you can activate the Demonic Edict

and send 100,000 demon soldiers

to Buzhou Mountain,

I will definitely

return you

the position of the Demon Lord.

Deal.

Mo Xiao,

once you take over the position of the Demon Lord,

there is no turning back.

Ce.

Alright, Jing.

What's wrong?

Alright, calm down.

Why are you three together?

Why didn't you go up the mountain

and ask me to come here?

Young Master Murong.

I…

Jing.

Ce.

What should we do?

Jing.

What happened?

So,

the master of Shadow Assassin Ling Xiang

is our father.

It was also him who poisoned Elder Yuan with the Rootless Flower.

Father

is even associated with the guardian of Demonic Sect.

After all, he is our father.

But the fact is the fact.

I would never slander Father.

What if…

What if it's not truth?

Maybe he is preparing

to eradicate the Demonic Sect.

If he did so to eradicate the Demonic Sect,

then why did Elder Yuan and disciples of Shushan Sect

get injured?

Jing.

Only you and I know about this.

I will go back and find out the truth.

But before that…

Ce.

Can you stop him?

I will find a way.

But before that,

we need to pretend that nothing has happened.

If you go back like this…

I won't go back.

After I tell you this,

I will go back to the Tielv Division with Zifeng and Zimu,

waiting for Lingyun to wake up.

No matter what,

we have to protect the Shushan Sect.

Father.

Ce.

You are still awake?

What are you doing here?

I can't sleep,

so I came out for a walk.

It's so late.

Father, where are you going?

I could

take over as the Sect Leader of Shushan Sect,

it is all thanks to the blessings from the past Sword Immortals.

Now,

the Shushan Sect is in chaos.

I want to go to the Sword Pavilion

to properly offer incense and worship.

You go to worship the past Sword Immortals.

Then I won't disturb you.

Ce.

It's getting cold.

You should go to rest early.

Yes.

There must be some misunderstanding.

How could Father betray the Shushan Sect?

Weird.

Why is there a ringing sound here?

Isn't the sound transmission leading to the Fengling Hall?

Master.

I heard that Mo Xiao is about to activate the Demonic Edict

and summon 100,000 demon soldiers to go to Buzhou Mountain to seize the Celestial Edict.

Your plan is about to succeed.

Another great battle between immortals and demons is inevitable.

I beg you.

Before the great battle, allow me to see my brother.

As long as I can assure his safety,

I could die for you

without any regret.

Master…

So you are really my father's Shadow Assassin.
