[Episode 38]

Young Master.

Young Master.

Why are you here?

Have you always been working for Father?

What great plan will be achieved?

What does he want to do?

Young Master,

are you really unaware of the Master's plan?

What do you mean?

It seems there are

too many things you do not know.

Master.

Once I received the transmission,

I hurried down the mountain.

Sorry for keeping you waiting.

Master.

I have waited long enough.

But now my wait has ended.

Chong Guang has found the son of Ye Yuan

and he is going to open the Celestial Edict.

Congratulations, Master.

Your great task will be achieved.

Congratulations to you too.

You have been by his side for so many years.

Finally, we are on the brink of success.

Master.

Can I

see my sister now?

Of course.

As long as we

get the Celestial Edict,

you two

can finally reunite.

Thank you for your grace, Master.

Back then,

Ye Yuan

used the Blood Demon Pearl

and gave Chong Guang a new life.

He obtained the blood of immortality,

and became undying and indestructible.

But there is nothing in this world

like an undying and indestructible body.

You have served him for many years.

Naturally, you know

the lifeblood of the Blood Demon Pearl.

As long as the Blood Demon Pearl is broken,

even if he possesses great magic,

it will be of no avail.

This battle at Buzhou Mountain

will all depend on you.

What's wrong?

Do you not bear to see him die,

or don't you want to see your sister again?

I am willing to help you severely injure Chong Guang,

but Master,

I have one last request.

I hope you will agree.

Let's hear it.

Can you spare his life?

Tomorrow,

do you really want to activate the Demonic Edict

and go to Buzhou Mountain?

Mother,

do you know back then,

why the Lord brought a demon child

back to the Shushan Sect for education,

and later took a risky move

to entrust the duty of guarding the Celestial Edict

to him?

It's because the Lord knew long ago

that what should be guarded was never the Celestial Edict,

but the righteous hearts of mankind.

If people's hearts are righteous,

whether they are on the right or the demonic path,

the Celestial Edict does not need to be guarded.

If people's hearts lean towards demons,

even the Immortal Sect will become a demon den.

Just as they named me Mo Xiao.

Mozi weeping for the silk,

with aspirations in the skies.

Mo Xiao.

I know that in your heart,

you think the welfare of the people

is your mission.

But it has been 18 years,

and I have just got you back.

If anything

happens to you…

Mother.

Please get up.

Having lived so long,

I am most glad that I have

such a deeply understanding mother.

But I cannot serve you properly

due to my heavy responsibilities.

Luckily, there is Yunchao

to take care of you for me.

If one day,

something unlucky happens to me…

It won't.

It won't. You will be fine.

You will be fine.

Mother.

I do want to ask you a favor.

Tell me.

In this world,

besides Mother

there is another person I feel guilty about.

If I really have an accident tomorrow

and I can't tell her personally,

please tell her for me,

that on the Peach Blossom Riverside,

I have prepared a place for her to live

the rest of her life peacefully.

What are you doing here?

I'm here to take you away.

Are you kidding me?

What?

You see that Chong Guang cannot protect his position as the Demon Lord,

so you've turned to me,

the new Demon Lord?

Mo Xiao.

You shouldn't have come back,

nor should you become the Demon Lord.

Once you choose this path,

there is no turning back.

Why should I turn back?

Do you really intend

to be a demon?

You persuaded me to leave Chong Guang

and return to the light.

Why are you now…

You were born righteous.

Therefore, forsaking evil and returning to righteousness is your destiny.

I am different.

I was born a demon child.

Becoming the Demon Lord is the path I should walk in this life.

Fool.

Of course, I won't forget this place.

But someday,

we will build a true home

that belongs to us.

Mo Xiao,

do you remember

that during the three days in the Spiritual Orb,

you told me

that you'd like to be a mortal couple with me?

Let's go.

The former Mo Xiao is dead.

Your current identity is the Demon Queen of Chong Guang.

These words might not be appropriate.

You can hate me,

resent me,

or punish me in any way you like,

but you cannot give up on yourself.

You are the Shushan Sect's

youngest Sword Immortal.

When I first met you,

you were elegant and handsome,

with the soul of a sword and the heart of a zither,

caring for all beings in the world.

You were like a dazzling light,

illuminating the entire snow field.

That kind of Mo Xiao…

What's wrong?

I don't need you to remind me

what the former Mo Xiao was like.

With the Shushan Sect's Mind Guarding Mark,

the Immortal Sect's power is

unceasingly interrogating my heart.

Mind Guarding Mark?

You planted the Mind Guarding Mark?

Let me see.

Go away.

The night will turn white.

If you and I stay alone like this,

it might invite gossip.

Please, Demon Queen, respect yourself.

Please go back.

Mo Xiao.

Leave.

Okay.

You're back.

Did you go to the Spiritual Palace again?

I told you a long time ago

that he would eventually walk this path.

No one can change that.

He has already accepted it.

What about you?

You should accept

your path, too, right?

We have no other choice.

And all of this

is exactly what you wanted, isn't it?

No.

The Celestial Edict

is an ancient divine artifact.

The person who can open it

is also destined by fate.

All of this

is just the call of the Celestial Edict.

Back then,

his father and I

almost succeeded.

In the end,

we were stopped by Fengyue.

Now, he is not only

the successor of the Sword Lord,

but also has the lineage of Ye Yuan.

Who else can stop him?

As long as tomorrow,

he can summon 100,000 demon soldiers

to Buzhou Mountain.

The Celestial Edict

will be mine.

How can you be sure

that he will surely help you?

Because

this is his fate.

He has no other choice.

Today, Young Lord,

if you can, in front of the followers of the Demonic Clan,

activate the Demonic Edict

and summon 100,000 demon soldiers,

the position of Demon Lord of the Demonic Clan

will be yours.

And I

will become the Great Guardian of the Demonic Clan again.

Thank you.

She actually opened the Demonic Abyss.

The Demonic Power is indeed in her.

Feng Lixue.

What are you doing?

Listen up, all of you.

The Demonic Edict and the Demonic Power

are now all on me.

As long as I jump into the Demonic Abyss,

countless demons will eat up my spirit,

the Demonic Power and the Demonic Edict will disappear,

and the 100,000 demon army will also remain asleep forever.

Lixue.

No.

If countless demons eat up your spirit,

you will also fall into eternal damnation.

Come back here.

Mo Xiao.

This time,

I will help you make the choice.

You don't need to suffer from the Mind Guarding Mark.

this time,

I finally helped you.

♫ I still wait for you ♫

Mother.

Mo Xiao is Ye Yuan's son.

The Demonic Spirit surely will not harm him.

Let's wait a bit longer.

No.

No.

My son.

- Star Lord. - Mother, I swear I won't lie to you. Mother.

Star Lord.

Lixue.

Lixue.

Quickly, go save Lixue.

Lord.

The severe backlash you suffered

is hurting your soul essence.

You must protect your soul essence.

Lixue must not die.

Quickly, go save her.

Alright, I will try to find a way.

Lixue.

Lixue? Lixue.

Lixue.

Lixue.

I am the Right Guardian of the Tianmo Sect, Tu Shuo.

Greetings, Young Lord.

Right Guardian?

Sir.

I was

originally the Right Guardian

beside Lord Ye Yuan.

During the battle at Buzhou Mountain years ago,

the Lord perished,

and Chong Guang succeeded to the throne.

I refused to submit to Chong Guang

and was struck down into the Demonic Abyss.

Fortunately, I survived.

After exhausting my spiritual power,

I lived.

I have waited long

for your return, Young Lord.

The Tianmo Sect can be saved now.

Senior, let's discuss this another day.

Let's save Lixue first.

I have just examined her.

Inside her body,

there is the Demonic Power of the Three Sacred Stones,

but she is not of the Ye Yuan bloodline.

Falling into the Demonic Abyss with such divine power,

many demons will eat up her spirit,

and she will die.

Is there any way to save her?

To save her,

there is only one way.

Transfer the Demonic Power of the Three Sacred Stones

to your body.

Then transfer it to me.

But once the supreme demonic power

enters your body,

it will collide with the spiritual power

of the Immortal Sect in your body.

The clash of the immortal and the demon.

Such pain

is unbearable for an ordinary person.

Young Lord, you…

Senior, I am willing.

Let's begin.

What do you want?

The things you want to do

can only be completed with my help.

But you still haven't let me out.

Why is that?

I am a disciple of the Immortal Sect.

As the successor of the Sword Lord, I swore to inherit his legacy

and never turn to the demonic path.

You are the son of Ye Yuan,

flowing with the demonic bloodline.

In this life, you are destined to be a demon.

Though my body is in the demon realm,

my heart still aims for the great path.

For the things I do,

I don't feel guilty

to the Sword Lord or to myself.

Everyone in the world believes you are a demon.

You are a demon child.

The Immortal Sect of Shushan has abandoned you.

Mo Xiao, in this life,

you are destined to be a demon.

No.

I'm not.

I'm not.

You are destined to be a demon.

You…

Prepare to die.

Lord.

Mo Xiao.

Are you going to give up?

Lord.

Why didn't you kill me back then?

You should have.

Now you let me bear all of these burdens.

I am so tired.

I am so tired.

Mo Xiao.

The life and death of demons

lie in your heart.

Even the strongest demonic power,

if used for good

can save all living beings.

My life's erudition is devoted to you.

It is from my effort to vanquish demons.

Even though you are the son of the Demon Lord,

you have been enlightened by the righteous Immortal Sect.

Remember my teachings.

Guard your heart.

Uphold righteousness.

No matter where you are,

you are always

not a demon.

Mo Xiao.

Do not feel wronged.

Do not shrink back.

And you absolutely cannot give up.

Years ago, I planted the Mind Guarding Mark within you.

It was imbued with the celestial spirits of the Sword Immortals of the Shushan Sect

in protecting your righteous heart.

If your heart is steadfast

and unshakable

from any thoughts,

the Mind Guarding Mark will only serve as your blessing

and transform into the intangible,

no longer questioning your heart.

You no longer need to feel entangled or self-reproachful because of it.

Believe in your heart.

Go ahead and do what you need to do.

Do not forget that the painstaking efforts of two generations, the Lord's and mine,

are dedicated to you for a reason.

Once we've taken on this heavy responsibility,

we are prepared

to use our lives to suppress demons.

But Master,

suppressing demons and upholding justice,

what exactly should I do?

Please tell me.

What exactly should I do?

I didn't know you had the Immortal Sect's Mind Guarding Mark in you.

Your demonic power is surging,

and the Mind Guarding Mark will then punish your heart.

Young Lord.

In this world,

I've never seen anyone

who can be both an immortal and a demon.

Young Lord.

I will

assist you to protect

your heart and spirit

with what's left of my spiritual power.

The outcome depends

on the fortune of you

and the Tianmo Sect.

Master.

Right Guardian.

I have waited here for many years, Young Lord,

for this day,

and to tell you something.

In these three realms,

immortals, demons, and monsters each reside in their own places.

Originally, the Tianmo Clan retreated to the Suyu Mountain of the demon realm.

Demons also have their way.

We wanted to seek peace

between the immortals and demons.

But ever since the Fallen God,

Chong Guang's revival on Suyu Mountain,

everything changed.

Calamities in the world

all arise from selfish greed.

What if you're an immortal

and what if you are a demon?

If you follow your own way,

different paths can lead to the same destination.

Following their own way

to the same destination.

Following their own way

to the same destination.

Listen to me.

The world won't believe you.

Steadfast

and unshakable.

The world's views

have never been important.

That's right.

Steadfast

and unshakable.

Immortals and demons coexist.

Almost there.

Almost.

Just about there.

You did it.

Young Lord,

you did it.

Senior.

Lord.

I have done my best.

I'm ready to see you now.

Senior.

Lord.

Where is Lixue?

Rest assured, Lord. Lixue has left the Demonic Abyss.

How did she leave?

Mo Xiao jumped into the Demonic Abyss

and saved her.

However,

they are no longer on Suyu Mountain.

[The Demonic Edict was destroyed]

The Demonic Edict was destroyed?

So you really are my father's Shadow Assassin.

What great plan will be achieved?

What does he want to do?

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

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

♫ Wind sweeps the river, echoing the sad song ♫

♫ Soaked under the umbrella, in a pouring rain ♫

♫ Life and death, let it squander ♫

♫ Sweet promises, filled with thorns ♫

Upon death, my soul drifted.

I can't believe I came back here.

♫ Love is hard to get, crossing the sea of bitterness ♫

♫ No matter how many lifetimes, unwilling to wake up ♫

♫ Until the fog dissipates, eternal waiting remains ♫

♫ Year after year, the love is still ♫

♫ Vivid dreams, karma comes ♫

♫ Love for three lifetimes, fading away ♫

♫ Being sad, seeing through worldly ties ♫

♫ Love and hate interlock, finding its balance ♫

Even you are here.

♫ No matter how many lifetimes, unwilling to wake up ♫

Lixue.

♫ Year after year, the love is still ♫

When I woke up, I thought I was

seeing things as a wandering soul.

I didn't expect

all of this to be real.

After the Illusionary Realm of the Spiritual Orb,

you turned everything into reality.

Fool.

If I'm here,

how could I let anything happen to you?

Your Mind Guarding Mark is gone.

Inside the Demonic Abyss,

the Demonic Spirit almost triggered the demonic nature in me.

Fortunately, with the help of the Lord's and my Master's spiritual power,

I was okay.

That's great.

I really need to talk to you.

The Demonic Abyss has countless demons and is so dangerous.

How could you just jump in it?

I just didn't want Chong Guang

to force you anymore.

Why are you so foolish?

If I hadn't gotten down in time to save you,

in the Demonic Abyss,

the Demonic Edict and the Demonic Power would all disperse.

- Even yourself… - I'm not afraid.

As long as it's for your sake,

I fear nothing.

Fool.

Mo Xiao.

Tell me,

if we have already left Suyu Mountain,

does that mean we no longer have to worry

about the affairs of the Immortals and Demons?

I thought

the Illusionary Realm of the Spiritual Orb would only last three days.

I didn't expect…

It's so good to be alive.

Good things happen when you're alive.

Right?

The universe is eternal.

Life is just a hundred years.

This body is unattainable.

This day is the easiest to pass.

Lixue.

Promise me.

From now on, don't do foolish things anymore.

Alright.
