[Episode 24]

If I may comment,

I've fought those four

Foundation Establishment Blood Guards before.

They are strong.

Especially their Demonic Transformation.

It allows them to ascend

to the next tier by brute force.

Of course,

it is not without weaknesses.

One, the transformation

requires one to enter a Blood Cocoon.

That takes time.

Two, upon transformation,

one will be overtaken by the thirst for blood

and lose all

rationality.

We can exploit those two weaknesses.

Do not forget that.

We'll try to waste their time.

My fellow sisters,

please stick to our plan.

If things go awry,

quit fighting

and regroup with us immediately.

[Cold Palace]

Stay alert.

Master is training in solitude.

We have released Beguiling Mist in the palace.

So don't fall into a deep slumber

like those mortals did.

Those three scoundrels.

Who do they think they are?

How dare they put me on watch duty?

The enemies will fall for our traps, they said.

It's just an excuse to shirk.

Once Master comes out,

I'll report them to him.

What is this new gadget?

It's quite useful.

I assembled it myself.

It's more than enough to fight

weaker cultivators.

I knew it. An ambush.

Kill the messengers first.

Don't alert others.

How annoying.

Alert others.

Yes!

We have made ourselves known.

There's no use hiding.

Chen Rong, Chen Mu,

please deal with those rookie cultivators.

My Seniors in arms,

let's give chase

and kill this demon.

Sure.

A long fight is risky.

Make it quick.

You three idiots!

Come out already!

Qingwen, Tie Luo,

you ingrates!

I won't spare you even when I'm dead!

How fun.

That beast is mine.

Don't get in my way.

I'm talking to you.

Go transform now.

I'll deal with them.

He's too strong.

I can't defeat him.

Let's swap.

Come.

Today, I shall avenge

my lost arm.

I can handle this.

Stop him from transforming.

All right.

Meng,

watch out!

Bladestorm?

As expected of you, Jing.

Let me aid you.

Regenerate if you want.

I'll just chop it off again.

Good.

Rage on.

The transformation brings out your animalistic instincts.

If he loses his humanity,

he'll be dead soon.

Where are the two other Blood Guards?

Watch out!

Senior Song.

Take care of the meathead.

Sure.

Chen Rong.

This is bad.

It is a very potent corpse venom.

Here.

I can't believe we met again.

How have you been,

Han?

I see you used the Ascension Token to enroll in Yellow Maple Valley.

And you have reached mid-Foundation Establishment.

You

lured rogue cultivators to join you at Tainan Bazaar.

Thanks to you,

Wu Jiuzhi has turned to this.

Fate keeps me alive

so that I can kill you.

Enough.

For what you did to Wan Xiaoshan,

we'll settle the score today.

Go support Senior Liu.

Take care.

Like I said,

you are mine.

You're different from others.

You fight like a martial artist.

You are smart.

I hail from the Song Clan of Hanzhou.

We are a martial arts clan.

Perhaps you

were also

a martial artist?

Cultivators like you claim to stay away from the mortal affairs.

Yet the endless war in our world

is all orchestrated by the cultivation sects.

You claim to maintain peace.

But in the end,

the mortals pay with their lives.

You're neither a human nor a demon.

You don't have the right

to speak such insolent words

on behalf of all mortals.

Scums from the Seven Sects,

die!

The art of spear

is about

blocking,

lifting,

stabbing,

parrying,

striking,

sweeping,

and thrusting.

The same goes for the art of sword.

The longer the weapon,

the stronger it is.

Your reckless fighting technique

does no justice to your monstrous strength.

What a waste.

You talk so much.

We did it.

Careful!

Chen Mu!

Chen Mu.

Chen Mu.

I'm sorry.

You

must taste good too.

Chen Mu.

Chen Mu.

Chen Mu.

Chen Mu.

One less useless ally

for you.

Han,

make it quick.

I need your support.

This is Pinggu's belonging.

Drop dead.

I will crush you

with my bare hands!

Using his blood essence to activate his life-bound treasure?

Senior Liu is going all out.

You are quite durable.

Tell me.

What is your name?

If I'm in a good mood, I'll erect

a tombstone for you.

I am Tie Luo, General of Lanzhou Cavalry.

I'll also be the man who takes your life.

Stop hiding any tricks.

Our foe is strong.

The ice demon is dead.

Transform now

and fight them

with me!

They lost?

Good.

I don't have to intervene then.

Villain.

You cannot leave.

What joy is there in life?

What suffering is there in death?

You cannot leave...

It defeated a mid-Foundation Establishment

demon in one blow.

As expected of a life-bound treasure.

However,

it also burned the mystic pouch to a crisp.

What a waste.

Han.

I consider

this match

a draw.

Well done, Jing!

We've killed them all.

You would sacrifice

your life-bound treasure to kill demons.

How admirable.

You flatter me, Han.

Don't

tell Weiniang about today.

I don't want her to worry.

Chen Mu.

I didn't mean to kill you.

How am I supposed to face others now?

What am I supposed to do now?

Their leader still lives.

No one knows

if the worst will come.

We can't leave him here.

Chen Mu.

Forgive me.

Forgive me.

Chen Mu.

Senior Liu.

Senior Song.

Senior Han.

I'll tell

Qiaoqian about Chen Mu myself.

Don't tell her for now.

I don't want her to be distraught.

Of course.

My condolences.

Chen Mu,

let's go home.

Let's go inside.

Something is amiss.

This might be their hideout.

Over here.

Murong Qing.

Zheng Tiannan.

Zhou Yan.

Chu Shanming.

Zhang Wei.

Feng Wan'er.

An Keqiao.

Zhang Shuisheng.

Murong Chu.

These should be

the names of the victims.

Meng Yuan.

Murong Zhu.

Shen Qianxun.

A blood pool?

Jing.

Jing.

Are you all right?

Did you

have a flashback?

We can kill all dark cultivators and demonic sects.

There will always be new ones.

They can't be purged.

You

are too critical of yourself.

It's all in the past.

We're no longer the trembling kids

in the dungeon.

We gained spirit roots

and became Foundation Establishment cultivators.

It's been so many years.

You are still my senior.

I'm still not as capable as you.

Your potential

is far superior to mine.

But you've been suppressing yourself.

You ascend every time after I do

so that I don't feel inferior.

Right?

Just because you don't

say it out doesn't mean I wouldn't know.

Come on. That's not true.

When it comes to cultivation,

there's no waiting for anyone else.

Also,

I'm not as thoughtful as you imagine.

No need to comfort me.

The experiment those dark cultivators put me through

has damaged my constitution.

I might never reach the Core Formation Stage ever.

Weiniang and you have great potential.

Don't squander your talent away.

You

always make things up.

This is not fun.

I'll check on Han.

Thank you so much for what you've done, Song Meng.

What is going on?

There is no exit.

Jing!

Weiniang.

- Weiniang? - Qiaoqian.

How did you find this place?

We chanced upon

a contraption.

Then, we ran into the emperor

and took the secret passage here.

The Black Fiend Cult

sure has done many things.

[Emperor Yue] It digs deep.

Greetings,

fellow cultivators.

Thank you for rescuing me.

You're welcome.

It is our duty to kill dark cultivators.

There is a soporific array here.

All mortals will fall asleep.

How do you stay awake?

And did you

run into

any pursuers?

Master,

I have

no idea at all.

I stumbled upon

these two cultivators

and they woke me up.

They even gave me a pill.

Master,

are my

consorts

and ministers

all...

Are they all dead?

Han,

I did give him a sobering pill.

And we truly

did not run into pursuers here.

Han,

the enemies still roam about.

Let's find more clues now.

Any delay will bring more variables.

Come with us.

We can protect you.

Thank you.

Weiniang,

please look after him

with Qiaoqian.

Don't worry about it, Jing.

Let's go.

Seniors.

There might be traps.

What is this place?

What is this place?

I've

never been here either.

Apologies for the lack of reception, my esteemed guests.

But since you're here,

there's no need to leave.

Late Foundation Stage.

He is the leader of Black Field Cult.

Evil cultist.

Chen Rong!

Why did he attack

the weakest Chen Rong first?

Time to return them to their rightful owner.

Are they the Blood Condensing Five-Element Pills?

How come there are only four?

You shall not leave!

Come.

Where did he go?

He is a Late Foundation Stage cultivator.

Why did he attack ruthlessly

as if he doesn't care about his life?

Unless

there's something wrong with the Blood Condensing Five-Element Pills?

Thank you.

You brought me

the Blood Condensing Five-Element Pills.

Everything

is now in order.

One.

Two.

Three.

Four.

Who is the last Blood Condensing Five-Element Pill?

Tie Luo is metal.

Qingwen is wood.

The ice demon is water.

Wu Jiuzhi is earth.

He must be fire then.

Oh, no.

He is not the leader of the Black Fiend Cult,

but the last Blood Guard.

Where is

the real leader then?

Jing!

Jing!

Weiniang.

- Do not move. - Weiniang.

Or he will die.

Jing.

I'm sorry.

You have to show your face today.

Don't worry, my dear brother.

What's yours is mine.

Villains,

quit pretending.

You sicken me!

Jing.

Stop speaking.

Use your power to heal yourself now.

You're right.

He's

about to die.

Surrender yourself.

Weiniang.

Jing!
