BASED ON THE JJWXC NOVEL WHEN DESTINY BRINGS THE DEMON BY FU HUA

EPISODE 12 VILLAIN GRANDMASTER'S OWN HOME GOES THE REAL BATTLEFIELD

Pull yourself together.

Your father has told us about Baifeng Mountain.

My Grand…

My young master is very powerful.

You can count on him to take care of things there

and ensure your safety.

We've already paved the way for you.

From now on, you can live however you want.

How can I possibly live a carefree life

after going through something like this?

The Fengshan bloodline

will one day drag me back into tragedy.

He's right.

Grandmaster,

why don't you go check on Ms. Qing'er?

Please.

After all,

you still haven't met your daughter.

You were the one who named her Yueqing.

Don't you want to see her?

Yueqing?

My child?

Zhou Yueqing.

You gave her that name yourself.

Come with me. Meet her.

Thank you so much back there.

I will never forget this kindness.

I didn't do it for you.

I know.

To you,

it may have been nothing.

But to me,

it's a blessing for a lifetime.

What about Master Yan?

I'll take care of it.

Much obliged.

WEDDING

Even though I can't shake off this settling feeling,

this is also the most at peace

I've felt in years.

Peace…

It feels like only recently

I've learned what peace means.

Congratulations.

The groom has arrived.

Huan!

Huan!

Ms. Qing'er…

Look,

with the help of this young lady

and this gentleman,

I found us a home.

Do you like it, Huan?

Ms. Qing'er,

why waste your time on someone like me?

Huan,

don't you want to hold our daughter?

Here.

Why are you crying?

The mood is so touching.

It feels rude not to cry.

Knowing that I helped make this happen

makes me feel pretty amazing.

Huan, sit.

Huan,

the kind lady prepared

everything for us.

She helped us reunite with each other.

Put her to sleep.

I'll go prepare some food and wine.

Tonight, we should celebrate.

Ms. Qing'er,

the way you are now

is different from when I first met you at the pleasure house.

Back then, your smile could topple a city,

your hands never did chores.

But now you're content with a quiet home,

and willing to cook and care for me.

Huan.

Don't make fun of me.

As long as I have you and Yue with me,

I'll be content anywhere.

Yue.

It's the first time we've met.

I want to keep you in my arms forever.

So this is the wondrous bond of blood and kinship.

Such a tiny being

has given me so much courage.

I don't want to go back there.

It's terrifying.

It's disgusting.

I am but a lifeless man.

I am nothing but a walking corpse.

Yue.

The two of us…

We need to find a place no one can ever reach.

Only then can we live a peaceful and happy life.

And we won't drag your mother down with us.

Will you come with me?

The Yan family's ill fate

should end with our generation.

Mr. Yan and Ms. Qing'er

finally got their happy ending.

You could say we've done a good deed.

Let's take it as building up our own blessings.

Do you really think

this peace will last?

Of course it will last.

Grandmaster,

a person's fate is in their own hands.

As long as we want to change,

we can alter our own destiny.

Do you know what destiny is?

Of course I do.

My destiny is

that I'm meant to live carefree,

eating, drinking, and having fun.

Yue! Huan!

Huan!

- Not another step! - Huan!

Huan!

Not another step!

- Huan! - Stay away!

Yes, but calm down!

- Stay away! - Huan!

Huan, don't do it!

- Ms. Qing'er, don't go! - Huan!

Huan! Put Yue down now!

Ms. Qing'er…

A quick release is better than suffering.

No.

- Please, no! - You have no idea

what life Yue would be forced to endure.

- Huan, stop! - Don't do this!

Huan, don't! Please!

- Ms. Qing'er! - No!

Calm down!

Ms. Qing'er…

Would you rather live in shame

than die with your head held high?

Huan. Don't you dare touch my Yue!

Please, help us!

Save him!

- Please! - Grandmaster!

I can't let him go on like this.

Better to end it now,

and stop the Fengshan curse once and for all.

Give her back to me!

- Huan! - Grandmaster, can't you save him?

You have the power.

- You can save Mr. Yan and Yue! - Huan, please, calm down!

Grandmaster!

No one can save him.

Sir…

This is his fate.

- No! - But what about the child?

She's alive, she's her own person!

She deserves her own future.

She should be free to choose.

Grandmaster, your mother couldn't.

Yan Huan, and neither can you!

No!

You are right.

- Give my daughter back! - Yan Huan!

Give her back!

Yue…

My precious girl.

I can't let you endure the same suffering.

I can't watch you die so young.

- Yan Huan! - No!

No! Huan!

Huan, I beg you!

- Yan Huan! - Please, Huan, don't!

Huan!

Huan, please don't do this!

I beg you, stop!

Huan!

Yue!

He destroyed the flame-shaped birthmark.

But how can the blood of Fengshan be erased?

At last…

At last, it's over.

At last, I can turn to ashes.

Huan…

Ever since I opened my Soul Manor,

MANOR OF FRAGRANT ECHOES

I've begun to feel

that everything here is tied to me.

The fates of those around me pull at my heart.

Today, the tragedy of Zhou Qing'er and Yan Huan

has actually left me deeply shaken.

Yan Huan only lived for a little over twenty years,

yet Grandmaster has endured

for centuries under the same fate.

For Yan Huan, death was release.

But for Grandmaster?

He must suffer even more than Yan Huan did.

And yet…

What could I possibly say to him?

Kill him!

Kill him!

Kill him!

Only then will your wretched fate end.

No!

No!

His life belongs to Gengchen Celestial Palace.

Hand him over! Now!

Quickly! They're coming!

- Hurry! - No!

Jiao!

Jiao!

Mother…

Sima Jiao!

Grandmaster, I tied this bow just for you.

Isn't it cute?

- Grandmaster… - I know what you want to say.

But I must say it.

You are not Yan Huan.

You are yourself.

Different paths, but the same end.

Grandmaster.

YAN RESIDENCE

Normally, when I wake up,

Sima Jiao opens his eyes too.

Why is there no movement this time?

Did he pass out?

Thank goodness, you're alright.

I was so worried.

Kill him!

Kill him!

Only then will your wretched fate end.

Jiao! Jiao!

Mother…

Grandmaster, what's wrong?

I had a dream.

Grandmaster, you not only slept, you even dreamed?

What did you dream of?

I dreamed of that woman.

Others see me with nothing but fear,

disgust, or flattery.

But she treated me

like the flowers and trees by the roadside.

Boss.

Don't waste such a handsome face by acting so cold.

What kind of Grandmaster are you?

You're acting like a schoolkid.

Such light, fleeting feelings

always brought me peace.

So weak as she was,

and yet she could always take such good care of herself.

Master.

The one who will take us to Baifeng Mountain has arrived.

Take this.

Why can't I come along?

You stay here.

Let's go.

Greetings, emissary.

Same rules.

If the bloodline power is pure,

we will grant you generous rewards.

If the bloodline power is lacking,

then take the child back with you.

Yes, yes. I know the rules.

Son, hurry.

Test the child's blood.

Quickly.

Yue.

Thank you.

You used to come alone.

Why is there another with you now?

This is my son.

One day, he'll inherit my family's estate.

So sooner or later, he must see it for himself.

BAIFENG MOUNTAIN

Master, who exactly are you?

We've done all this only to survive.

Please don't blame us.

We wait here.

You know the rules. You must not wander about here.

This is the place.

Insolence! You insulted

the sacred mountain!

Sacred?

You actually call this place "sacred"?

What, does the Yan family intend to rebel?

Son, don't be rude.

The Yan family has hundreds of lives at stake.

We can't afford such insolence.

Enough. Don't waste time here.

You, take her inside.

It's not your place to give orders here.

You must be tired of living, aren't you?

Take me inside.

There is a barrier here set against the Sima clan.

Shi Qianlv's defensive skills are indeed impressive.

You're from the Fengshan clan.

Please, kill us.

They have been

forcing us to reproduce even faster.

They are close to success.

Just a bit more.

Careful!

It's coming out!

I beg you, kill us.

How could I kill my own people?

We're already as good as dead.

Let our suffering end by your hand.

It's better than being drained dry and eaten by them.

Please, I beg you! End our suffering!

I beg you!

Come, be careful.

I beg you.

I don't wish for the child to live and suffer.

I do not want them to take the child away.

How can you be so heartless?

Do you want this child to grow up

and be kept like livestock, just like us?

I will take the child away.

Give up this idea.

We've lived a cruel life.

I do not want to live those days for even one more day.

I do not want my child

to live in such a hell.

I do not want him to have

such a life.

It's no different from a caged bird.

Go quickly.

Hurry up!

Hurry.

Go.

Quickly.

Stay close.

Sir, take my blood. Porridge.

Sir.

Take my blood.

Porridge.

Grandmaster, endure it.

You'll feel better with the blood out.

I want porridge.

Porridge.

Take my blood.

Who turned you into this?

He said if there is blood, then I get porridge.

Porridge.

Take my blood.

- Take my blood. - Where is he?

I want porridge.

Tell me where the man is.

How many more of the Fengshan clan are here?

I do not know either.

Every child with a flame-shaped birthmark

is sent to Baifeng Mountain.

- Go. - Go!

We can leave now!

You dare stand in my way?

We have an array against the Sima clan.

He will not gain any advantage.

Do you think you can save anyone?

All of their bodies are bound with restrictions.

Once this barrier is broken,

they will all die.

Stay here! Come back!

Stop! If you leave here, you will die!

That is still better than being livestock,

caged and eaten,

never seeing daylight again!

Come back!

Father, Sima Jiao has broken into Baifeng Mountain.

He may destroy our operation.

Quickly, go tell the palace heads.

Say that Chiyan City has sent a plea for help.

Sima Jiao has gone mad.

He burns Baifeng Mountain and seeks to slaughter Chiyan City.

Yes.

Zhenxu, set fire in Chiyan City.

Make the flames spread as much as possible.

Say it was done by Sima Jiao.

Sima Jiao.

You asked for it.

Greetings, Sect Master.

Now the Shi family and the palaces

seem intent on capturing Sima Jiao.

Perhaps we can use their hands

to take his life.

Has the news about Baifeng Mountain

- reached the Eight Palaces? - Sect Master,

Master Yuan is ill and cannot come.

Madam Ye is missing.

The other palace heads are ready.

Ruling.

Shi Qianlv is gathering the palace heads and elders.

They must have found traces of the Grandmaster.

Ruling, watch them closely.

I will report to the Grandmaster.

Nianjiu, forgive me.

I can't let you inform Sima Jiao.

Very well, let us depart.

The palaces and the Shi family

will join forces against Sima Jiao.

This may be the best chance for me and my people

to return to the Demon Realm.

YAN RESIDENCE

What are you looking at, you filthy brat?

Annoying kid.

Fire! Run!

What fire! What's happening?

What's going on?

Run!

Is the Grandmaster in trouble?

No, I must go find him!

My child!

My child!

The glory and wealth of the Yan family!

A sea of purgatory flames…

Master Yan!

I must find Sima Jiao.

As long as I exist, the fate of the Sima bloodline can't be changed.

If one day

the Fengshan Spirit Fire no longer exists in this world,

then perhaps the Sima clan

may finally be freed.

May you be born

into a good family in the next life.

Grandmaster!

How did you end up like this?

I am dying.

Now is not the time to joke.

Since the day I was born,

many have wanted to kill me.

They wanted my life.

But I wouldn't give it to them.

Whoever wants my life…

will lose theirs.

But…

Grandmaster…

If you want my life now,

I can give it to you.

- Do you want it? - I don't!

But that is your mission.

I know you don't really want to kill me.

But if I die at your hands,

it will benefit you.

Stop pretending, will you?

You will not die here.

You truly don't want my life?

I don't.

Then you'll die with me.

I'll live with you.

Get up. Let's get out of here.

Grandmaster.

Get up.

Only by destroying this place

can we keep the Fengshan bloodline

from ever being used again.

When I die,

this fire

will burn my body away.

No.

I won't leave them a scrap of flesh.

No.

Then the Fengshan line

will be utterly wiped out.

Once this Spirit Fire goes out,

the lifeline of Gengchen Celestial Palace

will be severed.

Quit talking nonsense.

Get up.

We're leaving.

I thought you'd run.

I told you to run.

Why didn't you?

You don't look imposing at all.

Totally not cool.

Pull yourself together.

We'll be burned to ash anyway.

Does how I look

really matter?

They're here already.

Why are there so many Sima clan members here?

They're not the Sima clan.

The clan perished in the fire long ago.

They must share the Fengshan bloodline.

There's no time to dwell on it.

While he's wounded by the array,

we capture him.

Remember this.

Leave him alive.

Shi Qianlv.
