Coffin-born?

That's right.

This is how Lang Wuji and Lang Wushuang came into the world.

The coffin-born

are natural scourges of demons.

Now, during this rare leap second month,

the heir of the Yu Clan's demonic lineage

is holding a grand wedding here.

For Lang Wuji,

this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

He will surely come.

Seems I might get to meet the legendary Lang Wuji.

Madam, it's late.

Why are you here?

I'm taking my child back to my parents' home,

but the journey is long...

I can't walk any farther.

Young master.

Could you hold my child for a moment?

Thank you.

You're traveling alone at night.

Aren't you afraid of flesh-eating demons?

Young Taoist.

Do you know that

demonic activity peaks only during

this rare leap second month?

Listen. Listen!

Do you hear that?

You're imagining things. There's no sound!

There really is a sound.

Could it be demons in this dead of night?

We're the Demon Hunters.

Demons mean nothing to us.

I'm getting married today but got lost in the mountains.

Might you shelter us tonight, brave ones?

Come in. Warm yourselves by the fire.

Why is the baby crying?

Perhaps he's hungry.

Let me see.

Sanchi.

You're a Demon Hunter!

You killed my child.

I'll have your life!

[The Demon Hunter]

It's so warm.

You two, it was pouring outside just now.

How come you're not wet at all?

Sir, don't joke.

There was no rain.

She's right.

No rain... No rain...

Something's wrong!

Help!

It's the divine sword Sanchi.

You're Lang Wuji.

Sanchi!

Master Lang, help!

Help!

Master Lang!

Y-Young Taoist...

Is it really you, Master Lang?

You saved me.

Thank you for saving my life!

This place is dangerous.

Take the wounded and leave quickly.

Master Lang.

I want you to know you're my greatest idol.

Take them down the mountain. Hurry!

Help me!

Master Lang!

Young Taoist!

Help me!

Master Lang.

Master Lang!

Can you take me with you?

Priest Baiyun.

The Fox Clan has no enmity with you.

Why do you lead people to slaughter us?

Because you are demons.

Stop!

Ruo, why are you here?

You promised me you'd spare Jingfan Mountain.

Why did you lie to me?

I'm a Demon Hunter.

It's my duty to kill demons.

I never stopped you from killing evil ones.

But the Fox Matriarch has lived peacefully

on Jingfan Mountain for a century

and never harmed anyone.

Ruo.

A demon is still a demon. Don't be deceived by her.

Wuji.

Do you know what Priest Baiyun has...

Ruo, leave now!

Stop fighting!

Ruo!

Ruo!

Ruo defended you till the end,

yet you struck her down.

Ruo.

The scarf...

I won't finish knitting it...

You'll suffer the cold... this winter.

Ruo.

Ruo!

Ruo.

Ruo.

The Xiyun Secret Realm

can only preserve Ruo's body for one year.

Ruo will still die one year later.

Unless...

Unless you can gather

a thousand demon souls within the year

and obtain the Phoenix Plume,

the sacred treasure of the Yu Clan at Tianyu Mountain.

Only then can I

reunite Ruo's soul

with her body

and bring her back to life.

I'll collect the demon souls then.

Brother.

I'll go to Tianyu Mountain to find the Phoenix Plume.

Sanchi, you're slacking off too?

You little demon,

do you have a death wish?

This humble one, Yaoyao, greets the young master.

Wuji.

Ruo.

Your tail is exposed.

Is it?

My apologies.

Young master.

You're burning up.

Don't you dare!

Master.

How can you be so rude?

This is the Life-Sustaining Pill,

this is the Blood-Staunching Powder,

and this is the Demon-Ward Elixir.

Take them.

I've prepared them all for you.

There's too much...

Use them when needed.

Also,

it's cold.

Take this scarf

to keep warm

on the road.

Why is it so short?

It's because you leave in such a hurry.

I couldn't finish knitting it.

I'll complete it when you return.

After I retire from demon hunting,

let's travel the world together.

Retire? You've said that so many times!

But you still leave me behind

whenever demons appear.

Perhaps

you should marry Sanchi instead.

I swear I'll retire for good

after returning from Taiqing Temple.

From then on,

we'll live free without burdens.

Ruo...

Who taught you this illusion magic?

What's your connection to the Fox Matriarch?

What are you saying? I don't understand.

Sanchi.

Tell me.

Where is she?

Master Lang.

Master Lang!

I finally found you.

There are many demon hunters in the mountain.

They seem to know the entrance to Pleasure Town.

Let's go together.

Pleasure Town?

I know that path well.

I can take you there.

As long as

you return my sister's soul to me.

Demon! Master Lang, watch out!

How is it?

This little demon must be connected to that old fox.

Even if we can't find the Pleasure Town,

we might be able to find the Fox Matriarch.

Master Lang, this place feels so eerie.

Could it be...

Are you scared already?

Master Lang, there must be a trap here. We should...

Master Lang!

Is anyone there?

Hello?

Excuse me.

Sir.

Sir, don't panic.

Are you here for a meal or to stay overnight?

Where is the fox demon that came in earlier?

You jest, sir.

She came in right ahead of us.

You...

Oh, dear guest.

What are you talking about?

With me here,

he wouldn't dare to take in a fox spirit.

Darling, take care.

Don't make me do this the hard way.

I see you're here to cause trouble.

Defend!

Sanchi!

Break!

Demons!

Take care.

I think I'm about to give birth.

Why choose this very moment!

My dear...

Demons!

Please let them go.

I'll trade my life

for the child in her womb!

The baby is coming...

Sister!

My dear.

My dear.

Sister.

Darling!

Hold on, sister!

The baby's really coming!

A demon is a demon.

How can you confuse them with humans?

Demons may not be human, but they feel as we do.

They'd risk everything for their loved ones

and fight desperately to protect the weak.

In moments like this,

they're no different from us.

She's in labor distress.

The baby won't come out!

What should we do?

I'll find a doctor in town!

Will any doctor be willing to deliver a demon's baby?

There used to be one.

A Taoist doctor named Ruo, who never turned anyone away.

But...

Stay back.

Give her this.

There's only one left.

Thank you.

Wait for me.

Sister, hang in there!

My dear...

My love.

The baby is born!

My love!

Why should I be happy about a demon's birth?

[Huyu Inn]

Something's wrong.

Tell me. Where are the two demons?

I told you

I'll trade my life for that child's life.

Our Fox Clan always keep our promises.

Kill me if you want.

Yaoyao is now with Lang Wuji?

No way!

You two...

Never mind. I have to do it myself this time.

Master Lang.

You said you brought her back

just to have her lead us

to the entrance of Pleasure Town.

But now I have to feed her this...

Get up, it's time to take your medicine.

You're hurt by a sword. Don't try to tough it out.

Take the medicine.

I may not be a doctor,

but I've seen enough injuries

to know a bit about remedies.

Demons dislike bitterness, so the medicine needs to be taken with sugar.

[Huyu Inn]

Sanchi.

Fox Matriarch!

Lang Wuji.

I finally found you.

What happened back then wasn't as you saw.

Even if you gather the souls and claim the Phoenix Plume,

you...

Cut the crap.

You killed my beloved wife.

Today,

I will make you pay with your life.

Sanchi!

Master Lang!

Master Lang.

I told you this little demon was suspicious.

Now she's escaped.

This severed tail still holds power.

The entrance

must be nearby.

Where is the entrance? I didn't see it at all.

Clearly some demon set up a barrier here.

Master Lang.

I didn't expect the entrance

would be hidden by an illusion...

The demon realm is lethal.

Your powers are limited. Don't go risking your life.

I...

Master Lang.

I'm not done yet!

You silly girl!

How dare you run around with so little cultivation?

If it happens again, I won't spare you.

Matriarch, Lord Changyi has been waiting for you.

I know.

[Pleasure Town]

[Demon-Ward Elixir]

[Pleasure Town]

My apologies for the wait, Lord Changyi.

My deepest gratitude, Matriarch.

I'm indebted to you for hosting my wedding

in Pleasure Town.

You flatter me, Lord Changyi.

Our clans have long been allies. This is only natural.

I've lived for a thousand year,

but it's the first time I've witnessed a union between a human and a demon.

The wedding preparations are complete.

However...

It's currently the leap second month,

and many Demon Hunters

have their eyes on Pleasure Town.

In my opinion,

you and your bride should leave quickly after the wedding

in case there will be more troubles.

I've heard the warnings.

We will depart right after the wedding tomorrow.

[Buckwheat Noodles]

Buckwheat noodles!

Come take a look.

Fresh buckwheat noodles here!

Come and try.

[Happiness]

Come try hot lamb-topped buckwheat noodles!

[Happiness]

Why is there a mortal aura in the demon realm?

Who are you?

Brother.

It's me. Wushuang.

Why are you here?

Don't tell me you're the demon bride everyone's talking about?

Yes... Brother.

How could you marry a demon?

He must have coerced you, right?

No. I want to marry him.

What are you talking about?

Come, let's go kill him.

Brother. Wait!

Listen to me.

When I went to Tianyu Mountain to find the Phoenix Plume,

I was almost killed by a demon.

Changyi risked his life to save me

and cared for me for months.

I...

I've fallen in love with him.

He must have used demon magic

to stop you from getting the Phoenix Plume.

The Phoenix Plume can resurrect demons,

but whether it works on humans

is unproven.

Priest Baiyun's words aren't absolute.

The demon's magic has poisoned your mind.

I'll find the Phoenix Plume myself.

You

can never marry a demon.

Brother.

I love Changyi!

Just as you love Ruo.

- Ruo is human. - Why can't I marry him?

He's a demon. It's not the same!

If you insist on this…

I...

Brother.

Are you trying to hit me?

Come with me.

Brother.

Now!

Brother!

Wushuang.

You...

Brother!

Brother...

I'm sorry.

Look at her.

Oh my,

little fox.

What's wrong with you?

Are you in heat?

Are you thinking about that Demon Hunter?

Tell me,

how does one make a man

utterly devoted to a woman?

That's easy.

Use the Obsession Hex.

Obsession Hex?

I have to find Luo Xinfu.

Master Zhou, you're ranked second on the Demon Hunter List.

But you only got seven taels?

Yeah, what's up with that?

So what if Lang Wuji got nine taels?

He's just a coffin-born freak.

As long as we find the Pleasure Town

and kill that demon Changyi,

I promise you'll never go hungry again.

- Yes! - Great!

Search faster and look carefully.

Got it.

Master Zhou.

Shouldn't you be with Lang Wuji?

Yaoyao.

Matriarch wants us to notify the guests attending tomorrow's wedding.

Don't go anywhere.

Okay.

[Huyu Inn]

Brother, I'm sorry. By the time you read this,

I'll already be at my wedding.

My wedding won't be perfect without you.

[Yumian Residence]

Yet to walk this life with my beloved, I have no regrets.

I know you won't forgive me for this.

We've endured hardships since birth,

and though the world's been cruel,

I never felt lacking because I had you.

I know humans and demons are sundered by heaven's law.

But humans feel, and demons feel too.

Changyi made me realize that humans can be heartless,

but demons can love deeply. My choice is made.

Even if it means death, I'll not turn back.

I beg your blessing.

Isn't she pretty?

She's as pretty as my wife.

Exactly. She's such a treasure!

[Happiness]

Ruo, Wushuang's decision has left me torn.

If you were here,

you will surely help me out.

You are torn between humans and demons,

but if one day you find yourself in this situation,

you'll realize that love between humans and demons

is no different from human love.

Ruo.

It's really you.

Why are you so sloppy when I'm not here?

Every day you're not around

is so painful for me.

Now, I'm back.

This is the Obsession Hex.

Once you poison him, just kiss his lips,

and he will fall helplessly in love with you.

Yao Yao, this is all we can do for you.

The rest is up to you.

Why do I always fail at the crucial moment?

I'm a fox demon.

Just let me kiss you.

So I can rid myself of thoughts of you.

I swear

I'll never cling to you again, okay?

I'm not in the mood to joke with you.

If you keep messing around, I'll subdue you.

Look.

I've almost pulled out my own fur

trying to fix this shabby scarf.

Most of this scarf was knitted by your wife,

but it was a bit short, so I made it longer.

If you complain about it again, that would be too much.

Leave now. If I see you again,

I won't show you any mercy.

Do you know

when I entered the town just now,

I almost got caught by those demon hunters.

I almost died.

What did you say?

Those demon hunters.

Wait for me!

Heaven and Earth nurture all beings,

while the Three-Life Stone binds one's fate in love.

Today, the union between the Yu Clan and the Human

is a great blessing in the world.

[Health, peace, and prosperity]

Let the newlyweds bow to Heaven and Earth.

Take the first bow to Heaven.

[Health, peace, and prosperity]

Take the second bow to Earth.

Take the third bow to each other.

Wait.

Well,

it's so lively.

Zhou Fengyang.

What do you mean?

Humans and demons are different. You go against the natural order.

As demon hunters,

how can we allow you to be so reckless?

All of you must die!

How dare you!

Although I'm a demon, I have never harmed a single person.

I'm in love with Wushuang.

After we get married, we will live in seclusion.

I hope you can grant permission.

Since ancient times, humans and demons are enemies.

Zhou Fengyang is ruthless.

He has never shown any compassion.

Lang Wushuang.

If you help me kill this demon,

I will pretend nothing happened today

and spare your life.

None of you will lay a finger on him today!

Then don't blame me.

Master Zhou, please don't harm Miss Lang.

What are you waiting for? Get them!

Protect the newlyweds and ensure the wedding is completed.

Take the third bow to each other.

The ceremony is completed.

Master.

Master!

Watch out, Wushuang!

We are no match for them.

Guys,

hurry and ask Matriarch to come help.

Let's go.

Changyi.

Changyi!

Changyi!

Changyi.

Today, our wedding is complete.

You are already my...

Changyi.

Changyi.

Changyi!

Changyi.

Changyi.

Changyi has already turned into a demon soul.

There's no need to wipe out the other demons, is there?

Hurry!

Changyi's demon soul is priceless,

we can't let her take it away.

Wushuang!

Master Lang.

Wushuang!

Wushuang!

Wushuang.

Wushuang.

Wushuang.

Don't blame me.

I...

Brother.

I want you

send Changyi to Tianyu Mountain

and let him live.

Brother.

I...

I beg you.

Promise me.

Brother.

Okay, I promise you.

Wushuang.

Wushuang.

Wuji, you're late.

I already gave your sister a chance to live.

But she was so stubborn.

Don't blame us.

Master Zhou, what about the rest?

We must root out the problem completely.

Okay.

Kill them!

Be good. Don't cry.

Stop!

Brother Lang, what are you doing?

Brother Lang, you are a demon hunter.

Don't act impulsively and do something foolish.

Demons have evil, and humans have evil as well.

Good and evil should not be judged by the distinction between humans and demons.

I now finally understand that

while humans and demons are destined to be different,

evil is evil, regardless of whether it's human or demon.

Are you going to betray the demon hunters

like your sister did?

Lang Wuji. What's wrong?

What if

your Master Lang

is actually

a demon?

What?

How is that possible?

Well, well, Lang Wuji.

You're a demon!

Hurry! Kill him! Hurry!

Kill this demon!

Hurry!

Lang Wuji!

Lang Wuji!

Matriarch is here.

Lang Wuji.

Lang Wuji!

Demon, you can't escape!

Matriarch, are you alright?

Master Lang.

What's wrong with Master Lang? How could he be like this?

He has been poisoned by the Fox Clan's Demon Transformation Curse.

I can only suppress it for now.

Once he is poisoned, no one can cure him.

Then Master Lang...

It's Bi and Cai!

With their cultivation, they can't get close to Lang Wuji.

It's all my fault.

I was deceived by them.

I never expected they would give me the Demon Transformation Curse.

But

why did they use you to deal with Lang Wuji?

You said

you could suppress the curse for a while,

then what will happen to him afterward?

Master Lang.

Old fox, it's you again!

You were poisoned by the Demon Transformation Curse because of me.

It was Matriarch who saved you.

You can deal with me yourself.

Why resort to using a little fox?

-I said it was me. It has nothing to do with Matriarch. -Matriarch.

Stop explaining to him.

The grudge between us is too deep.

Lang Wuji.

Miss Ruo showed kindness to the Fox Clan.

Shut up!

Since you harmed Ruo,

I swore to slay you.

Matriarch, who is Miss Ruo?

Why did she show kindness to the Fox Clan?

Although Ruo is a Daoist doctor,

she not only treats the people,

but is also kind-hearted toward our Fox Clan.

She has even saved your life.

Miss Ruo has actually saved me?

That day,

she went to Jingfan Mountain for you.

But...

But you let her die.

If I tell you that

- it was Priest Baiyun who killed Ruo. will you... - Nonsense!

Don't slander my mentor!

Forget it.

I knew that no matter what I said, none of you would believe me.

Lang Wuji.

In all my thousand years of cultivation,

I've never seen the dead come back to life.

Baiyun is merely using you.

You are wicked, stop trying to argue!

Since you got me today,

kill me if you want.

[Pleasure Town]

Master Lang, you can't trust that old fox.

When the phoenix undergoes nirvana, its wings are sealed.

Reborn through fire, its original power flows once more.

The Phoenix's Vein and the Phoenix's Feather

are the greatest treasures of the Yu Clan.

Master is a man of great virtue and reputation.

Since he said that the Phoenix Plume can bring Sister Ruo back to life,

he surely wouldn't...

I won't believe that old fox.

No matter what, I will bring Ruo back to life.

He's a half-demon now.

If he can enter the Spirit Valley,

and board the Boat of Spirit,

there should be no issue with the timing.

However, with Changyi's death,

the Yu Clan will be furious.

Not to mention getting the Phoenix Plume,

it's uncertain

whether we'll even make it back alive.

Isn't he not only unable to save Ruo,

but also risking his own life?

Save Ruo?

What's wrong?

Nothing.

Ruo.

What's wrong? Had another nightmare?

Lord Changyi was killed in Pleasure Town.

The Yu Clan must be furious.

If you go there recklessly, you'll definitely be in danger.

Lord Changyi's wedding was arranged by the Fox Clan.

Logically, the Fox Clan is also responsible.

If I explain to them, perhaps I can save your life.

What tricks did the old fox send you to play again?

If you don't wanna die,

leave now.

I'm sorry.

I'm a half-demon now.

There's no cure to the Demon Transformation Curse.

Once Ruo is revived,

I will kill myself

and never live on.

Miss Ruo

is a skilled doctor.

I believe

she'll find a way to cure you.

Ruo.

How did you meet Miss Ruo?

Many years ago, I chased a fox demon up the mountain.

Ruo was gathering herbs there at the time.

In order to protect the fox demon,

she disguised herself as one and led me away,

almost getting killed by me.

Before that,

I had never seen anyone defend a demon.

Yet, now,

I find myself opposing the demon hunters

for the sake of a demon,

and even escorting this demon soul to be revived.

Do you regret it?

I regret not protecting Ruo

and not protecting Wushuang.

Why am I telling you this?

[Spirit Valley]

Spirit Valley?

Here we are.

Be careful.

What's going on?

This is a demon territory.

You're just a mortal. Of course you can't get in.

Nonsense! How did Brother Lang get in?

He has been poisoned by the Demon Transformation Curse,

and now he is already a half-demon.

Thank you, Brother Qingfeng, for seeing me off all the way.

Go back to Taiqing Temple

and tell Priest Baiyun

that I, Lang Wuji,

will definitely bring the Phoenix Plume to the appointment.

Brother Lang, be careful.

This little demon is best at...

Shut up and leave now.

With wind and waves, the sail steadies itself;

with no beginning and no end, peace sustains.

The Boat of Spirit struggles to cross the valley;

with arrivals but no departures, you must reflect on yourself.

Boatman.

Since we've come, we don't want to turn back.

Then get on the boat.

Take care, Brother Lang.

I've heard that the Chief of the Jiguang clan has an eccentric personality.

She originally intended to

pass the Chief position to Changyi,

but unexpectedly...

Lang Wuji. Lang Wuji!

Lang Wuji!

In our sacred land, your magic is useless here.

You are the Chief, right?

Why did you strike so ruthlessly

without any reason?

Although the Yu Clan belongs to the demon clan,

to avoid humans,

we have hidden in Tianyu Mountain for hundreds of years

and have never interacted with the outside world.

Yet, Changyi still fell victim to you.

Since you are here,

you must offer your life to appease Changyi's spirit.

Changyi was not killed by Lang Wuji.

Do you know that

despite being severely injured, he still brought Changyi to this place?

If you cannot be grateful, at least don't treat him like this.

Are you expecting me to be grateful?

Although Changyi's body perished,

if his soul returns to the homeland,

he can still be reborn.

However, the human who married Changyi,

her body and soul have already vanished and can never be revived.

That person was his sister.

Lang Wuji.

Where is Changyi's soul?

Humans and demons are destined to be different.

Changyi.

Ultimately, you can't escape your destiny.

Yes.

Humans and demons are destined to be different.

As a demon hunter,

I could never allow a human and a demon to fall in love before.

Yet, when Changyi

and Wushuang died,

they still had no regrets.

If I had accepted Changyi's human bride back then

and allowed them to marry here in Tianyu Mountain,

perhaps all of this...

If I had accepted Wushuang

and Changyi being together

and attended the ceremony,

I would have been able to protect them.

As a demon hunter,

this is hard for you.

I was

too reckless earlier, sorry.

I promised my sister Wushuang

to bring Changyi's soul there.

This is what I should do.

I'm poisoned by the Demon Transformation Curse

and no longer wish to survive.

But there is one request

I hope you will grant.

Go ahead.

I want the Phoenix Plume.

It is the treasure of our clan,

not something that can be given away.

Even if I agree,

you may not be able to get it.

You just don't want to give it, do you?

Come with me and you'll know.

The Phoenix Plume is in the eye.

Our clan has served it for generations.

It grants our demon souls immortality.

But in order to get it,

one must not only endure the fire of nirvana

but also sacrifice the demon soul in exchange.

As long as I can get the Phoenix Plume,

what does it matter if I perish?

Lang Wuji!

Lang Wuji, Come back!

Come back!

There must be another way.

Lang Wuji!

You can't just die this way.

Lang Wuji!

You scared me just now.

I thought you would never come back.

Chief, why is this?

Although you're poisoned by the Demon Transformation Curse,

you are still a mortal.

The Phoenix Plume can only be exchanged with a demon,

so I'm afraid...

Chief, is there any other way?

As long as we can save Ruo,

I would be willing

to die right now.

Chief!

Lang Wuji, I think I can help you.

Fox, this has nothing to do with you.

Come back!

Fox!

Lang Wuji.

Ever since the first time I saw you,

I felt an inexplicable pain in my heart.

At first, I clung to you

because I wanted to rescue the bride,

but as I spent more time with you,

the more I wanted to cling to you.

Now, everything is settled.

From now on, I will never bother you again.

Why are you saying this now?

Fox！

Who are you?

I, Yao Yao of the Fox Clan, am willing to offer my demon soul in exchange for the Phoenix Plume.

You will die. Don't you regret it?

Never.

Chief.

How can I fully transform into a demon

and enter the Phoenix's Eye?

Fox Matriarch used 500 years of cultivation

to suppress your Demon Transformation Curse,

why are you doing this now?

500 years?

The old fox actually used 500 years of cultivation to help me.

Fox!

Fox.

Fox!

Chief, she's fine.

But why is she like this?

I've never seen a demon

survive after entering the Phoenix's Eye.

Her demon soul has already exchanged for the Phoenix Plume,

but her body

should have stayed in the Phoenix's Eye

with her soul.

Could it be...

This has something to do with the person?

Thank you for helping me get the Phoenix Plume.

Although humans and demons have different paths,

since the rites are concluded.

We are family now.

If you need anything,

come to Tianyu Mountain for me.

You can count on me just like you count on Changyi.

[Pleasure Town]

I can't believe I actually fell for your act of remorse

and walked right into your trap again!

Matriarch, you're too old for this.

Step aside.

Your powers

are sealed by the demon-binding talismans of Taiqing Palace.

You're no match for us now.

Your new master is from Taiqing Palace.

You must have something

to do with the death of Ruo.

So what?

You're about to die.

Sanchi!

Look after her.

Speak!

What happened?

Spell it out!

By the Heavenly Mandate,

Hear my decree.

Five Thunder Altar,

Manifest thy power.

Cleanse the evil!

Master Lang, now that you have the Phoenix Plume,

you need to gather all the demon souls.

We of the demon clan repay debts.

I offer my spirit

to save Ruo.

Yes, save Ruo.

We'll offer our demon souls

to rescue her!

Friends.

Your goodwill touches me.

But I will find another way.

But...

Lang Wuji!

If I say Baiyun is suspicious, you won't believe me.

Then let us accompany you.

If he can truly revive Ruo,

forget their demands,

this old one's cultivation alone

can substitute for 500 demon souls.

Tomorrow's the final day to save Ruo.

What's your hesitation?

[Confluence of Heaven and Earth]

[Confluence of Heaven and Earth]

Lang Wuji!

You half-demon wretch!

How dare you lead these demons to their deaths!

Zhou Fengyang!

I came to save my wife.

Stand aside.

Even if we let you pass,

your tainted form

couldn't enter.

Since you're here,

none of you will leave alive.

We came...

Prepared to die!

Death you shall have.

Zhou Fengyang!

I seek no battle.

I know the rule.

Demons entering this temple

must endure 49 Soul-Suppressing Lashes.

Wuji!

Rules are rules.

Bring forth the Soul-Suppressing Lash!

Come on!

Beat him!

Beat the traitor to death!

Wuji has been bewitched by demons!

He's become one of them!

He betrayed the Demon Hunters long ago.

Kill him!

Beat him dead!

Kill him!

Keep going!

Kill him! Don't let him live!

Go on!

Come on.

Lang!

Lang!

Why must you endure this?

Master moved Ruo to the main hall.

Since you've gathered the demon souls and Phoenix Plume,

let me deliver them to my master.

Why suffer this flogging?

Lang, don't miss the crucial hour.

Let me handle this!

I'll endure.

Go.

Tell Priest Baiyun to prepare.

Go!

Now!

Stop right there!

Stop!

This is Taiqing Temple.

Since you insist on walking into your own trap…

Let them in.

Priest Baiyun!

Priest Baiyun!

The demon souls and Phoenix Plume you requested are here.

Now awaken Ruo!

Wuji! Don't give it to him!

Truly worthy of being Number One on the Soul Hunter Ranking.

Save Ruo now!

So you've gathered everything I needed…

What's the meaning of this?

What are you doing?

He's trying to devour all the demon souls!

Qingfeng?

How is this little priest involved?

Only someone long corrupted by demon souls

can wield this sorcery!

Impossible.

You've been a demon all along.

You exploited Bi and Cai

to slaughter humans and demons alike!

All to hoard more souls

and turn Demon Hunter against our kind!

I don't care if you're Priest Baiyun

or Qingfeng!

Save Ruo now!

Save her now!

Lang Wuji!

Can't you see?

He's merely using you!

Now that the Phoenix Plume is in my hands,

I've nothing left to fear.

Years ago, when a demon nearly killed me,

I discovered by chance

that its cursed soul could not only heal my wounds

but reverse aging itself.

A pity

your nosy wife

caught wind of it.

I had no choice but to...

Stop fighting!

Ruo, this demon doesn't deserve your pity.

In my eyes, there are no humans or demons, only good and evil.

So what if you're human?

You're supposed to be a role model for Demon Hunter,

yet you feed on demon souls to empower yourself.

If others learned of this,

what would they think?

You're lying!

I saw it with my own eyes. How is that a lie?

Don't waste words on this wicked man!

Oh, right.

I kept Ruo's soul and spirit

to preserve her body.

All to control you.

I'll kill you!

From now on,

I no longer need her physical form.

Ruo.

Ruo!

Ruo!

Ruo!

Ruo!

Ruo!

Ruo!

Ruo!

Ruo!

Ruo!

Ruo!

Ruo!

Ruo!

Ruo!

Ruo!

Ruo!

This is the fate of mortals.

Brief and fragile.

Wuji.

I refuse to be shackled!

I'll claim immortality,

power surpassing demons!

With Phoenix Plume and these demon souls.

If he wields the Phoenix Plume

fueled by demon souls,

Both realms will drown in eternal chaos.

Priest Baiyun? How could he?

You want eternal life?

I want you...

Shredded.

Piece.

By.

Piece!

Lang Wuji!

Charge!

Attack now!

You insignificant ants! You're overestimating yourselves!

Move! Now!

Yaoyao, I'm already dead.

Don't sacrifice yourself for me.

Your kindness to our fox clan.

I freely give my demon souls to you.

Though

this cursed fox form is unworthy...

Please... don't reject this final gift.

Yaoyao!

Yaoyao!

Wuji!

Wuji?

Yaoyao, are you all right?

This past year… you've suffered so much.

What are you talking about?

Ruo.

Ruo is back.

What did you say?

Rain-kissed plum blossoms bloom,

my gaze wears thin the horizon's gloom.

Sorrow shared as token.

Pray your return unbroken.

Petals drift, waters flow.

One longing,

two hearts know.

No remedy exists.

To quell this endless ache.

Leaving brows,

claiming hearts in its wake.

Ruo sang this song for me.

One year ago,

I sealed the remnants of Ruo's soul

within Yaoyao.

When Ruo's body perished moments ago,

the soul fragment sealed by the Baiyun

returned to Yaoyao.

At this time, Yaoyao is Ruo.

Ruo is back.

Ruo!

Ruo!

Wuji!

Ruo!

You're finally back.

Ruo.

Oh no! Baiyun's gonna absorb Phoenix Plume!

How despicable!

Even if it takes my thousand-year cultivation

and destroys me completely, I'll never let you prevail.

Fox Matriarch! Fox Matriarch!

I...

I... I've exhausted all my life's cultivation to stop Baiyun.

The Phoenix Plume is also backfiring on him.

Hurry up!

And stop him!

Fox Matriarch, hang in there!

Sanchi!

I will save you!

Ruo.

After I die,

The Demon Transformation Curse in Wuji

will resurge.

You...

you'll all suffer again.

Fox Matriarch! Fox Matriarch!

Fox Matriarch!

Demon!

You two dare to stand in my way?

Baiyun, the Phoenix Plume's backlash already consumes you.

Continue this path, and you'll become a full-fledged demon.

By possessing that fox demon,

you're no different from the demons you.

And you, Wuji.

With the old fox dead,

your corruption accelerates.

Then I'll slaughter you before the transformation completes!

Halt!

Chief Jiguang!

Priest Baiyun.

You killed my brother

and now steal our sacred treasure.

This debt will be paid in blood!

Demon, you?

You're not ready for this.

The little fox traded her demon soul

for this Phoenix Plume.

It belongs to her alone.

Phoenix Plume!

Give it back! Return it... or perish!

Wuji!

Wuji!

I've devoured so many demonic souls.

My body is immortal now.

I won't die.

I refuse to die!

I seek eternity.

Eternal life shall be mine!

I will transcend mortality.

I shall never perish!

I want immortality!

I won't die.

I cannot die!

I will lives on...

Too many demonic souls from his body have been unleashed.

Mount Taiqing will be engulfed in perpetual darkness for seven days.

This place is doomed. We must flee! Now!

Wuji.

Wuji.

Wuji, what's wrong?

Look at me.

It's the Demon Transformation Curse.

It seems that we can't escape our destiny.

I don't want to hurt anyone.

Ruo.

Ruo!

Ruo!

Kill me!

No! No!

Kill me!

Wuji!

Wuji!

Ruo.

Wuji!

Live well.

Take care of yourself.

Wuji!

Wuji!

Wuji.

Wuji, wait for me.

After the Battle of Taiqing Temple,

humans and demons forged an alliance.

Demon Hunters and demons now unite

to purge evil...

be it man or demons.

I left Wuji at Tianyu Mountain.

Even if it takes eternity,

I'll find a way to break the curse.

I swear that one day

I'll bring Wuji back.

Back to me.

Traveler, why rush?

Stay here…

And surrender your life!

Sanchi!
