ADAPTED FROM BAI LU CHENG SHUANG'S
LOVE IN THE CLOUDS

Princess Tianji sent a missive

saying that Mu Qibai
had been incarcerated.

It is a great thing,

but I don't feel reassured.

If there's a mastermind behind Mu Qibai,

he won't live to see another day.

Yet he still lives now.

Perhaps he has a backup plan?

Your Lordship,
all the guards have been taken down.

Please come with me.

Ji Bozai has eliminated the netherbeasts.

Lord Jingxi also died in Jixing Abyss.

My Lord, what should we do now?

Let it be.

I never intend to work
for Zhushui Spiritual State anyway.

I just wanted to convince them

to entrust the task
of raising netherbeasts to me

so that

I can enact my own plan.

Shao Qun.

You're my only confidant now.

In this desperate time,

we must raise another netherbeast
as soon as possible.

Rest assured, My Lord.

The most dangerous place
is the safest place.

I shall raise it with my soul and flesh.

No one will find out.

My Lord, your ambition
will come to fruition.

One last step now.

Shao Qun.

I didn't expect today to come.

My Lord, if you hadn't saved me,

I would have been
eaten alive by the hounds.

It is my honor to die
for your legacy, My Lord.

Shao Qun. When you're gone,

no one will protect me like you do.

Worry not, My Lord.

I will always protect you.

Take care, My Lord.

Something happened in the Sunken Abyss.

It must be the netherbeast army.

How come? Didn't we eliminate all of them?

It's Mu Qibai.

Mu Qibai somehow raised new netherbeasts.

It's too late to stop him now.

So he does have a contingency plan.

TIANJI: MU QIBAI FLED WITH THE HELP
OF THE NETHERBEAST ARMY.

Mu Qibai escaped
with the netherbeast army,

and he will be hiding.

The Prayer Night is around the corner.

The power of the stars
will be at its strongest,

but so will the power of the netherbeasts.

That is the best moment
for Mu Qibai to invade Jixing Palace.

I have a solution.

Ming Xian once invented
a demon-repelling parasol.

Yaoguang Mountain dislikes artifacts,

so the Emperor of Yaoguang Mountain
destroyed it before he even inspected it.

But I saw how he made it,

so I can replicate it.

Are you serious about
making the demon-repelling parasol?

Has it ever crossed your mind
that if someone from Jixing Palace

recognized your work,

your identity would be exposed?

The netherbeast army
threatens all Six Realms.

If we do not seal it,
many more innocent people will die.

Master also told us about the calamity

a century ago by the Spiritual Veins Fairy
who raised netherbeasts.

- Have you forgotten?
- But…

But what if they find out
you're Ming Xian?

They will kill you,
even if you save them. You know it.

But that hasn't happened.

The netherbeast army
is the current threat.

If I can help,
I mustn't stand by and do nothing.

How very characteristic of you,

Ming Xian.

Princess Tianji,
Immortal Ji, and Fairy Ming Yi.

I planted the Netherbeast-Luring Caltrop
inside Immortal Ji.

My act is inexcusable.

LETTER OF REPENTANCE

I was misled.

Why would I fall for it, though?

It is inexcusable nonetheless.

TO PRINCESS TIANJI, IMMORTAL JI
AND FAIRY MING YI

I wonder if Tianji will forgive me

once I give her this letter of repentance.

Why have you summoned me today,

Your Highness?

Immortal Yan.

After my uncle
raised the netherbeast army,

where did he go?

His Majesty has made a full recovery.

You have many ways to locate him.

Why consult a physician like me?

Because you will indulge me,

won't you?

Actually, I can also
give you what Lord Hanfeng

promised you.

You can't.

Lord Hanfeng may not inherit Jixing Abyss,

but it still needs a leader.

Your Highness,
do you still wish to marry Ji Bozai

so that he can run Jixing Abyss
as the prince consort?

Or do you wish to run Jixing Abyss

as an empress?

Surprised?

You did not hide your ambition well.

You even doubt if you can make it.

That's why you play it safe
and look for a suitor,

so that you can be the de facto leader

of Jixing Abyss behind your husband.

But Tianji,

you're not the only one

who is ambitious in this world.

I am too.

Since you're so unsure of yourself,

why not marry me

and let me run Jixing Abyss instead?

What? You can't do it?

If you can't let go of your self-interest,

how can you convince me
to betray Lord Hanfeng?

Xiao, tell me.

What is my uncle going to do next?

I can give you anything you want.

Why would you put

something like this on the line?

Isn't this what you want, Yan Xiao?

To become more powerful,

you serve someone
who raised a netherbeast army.

So, let's go with your plan then.

I'll marry you,

and we'll work together.

What do you think?

Mu Tianji.

First, it was Ji Bozai.

Now, it's me.

Anyone can be your husband, is that so?

Yan Xiao!

Of course not.

After all, you weren't even
in my consideration in the past.

Your Highness, think it through.

Meng Yangqiu

is the best candidate
to be the prince consort.

After all, he worships

every word you say

and every line you speak.

Besides,

- he is incapable of betraying you.
- Yan Xiao, you jerk!

Do you think everyone is like you?

I…

Tianji.

I'm fine.

I'm fine.

DEMON-REPELLING PARASOL BLUEPRINT

- Like this. Yes.
- Thank you.

- No worries.
- Take a parasol.

- Take a parasol.
- Thank you.

- Use it. Take a parasol.
- Thank you.

You're welcome.

- Come take your demon-repelling parasol.
- Sure.

- Thank you.
- Come and have a taste.

Take it.

- Thank you.
- You're welcome.

Here.

Sure.

- Take a parasol.
- Thank you.

You're welcome.

Here. Take a parasol.

- Come.
- Thank you.

- Thank you.
- Take a parasol.

I have some good tea inside.

- Try it.
- No, thanks.

- We need to hand out the parasols.
- Thank you. Come inside.

All right.

- Okay.
- Here.

Thank you.

Great timing.

Will you try
the demon-repelling parasol for me?

The artisans crafted them
using the blueprint given by Ming Yi.

Tianji.

Is the parasol broken?

This parasol is amazing!

Spin it and its power will be activated

to create a defensive barrier.

Meng Yangqiu.

You'll have to train harder.

Perhaps

you can learn from Chen Xi.

Chen Xi.

Teach me how to do it.

Call me Master then.

I'll buy you candies.

Deal!

DEMON-REPELLING PARASOL BLUEPRINT

Is this for Zhang Tai?

She just learned to use
her spiritual veins.

I want to make her
an artifact that she can use.

Did you design that fan as well?

The demon-repelling parasols

can protect the vulnerable ones.

But to seal more netherbeasts,

we'll have to reinforce the power
contained in the artifact.

Once you're done,

I'll inject my power into it.

Your master is already head over heels.

Your master fell in love first.

As if she doesn't know
she already has a fiancé.

- You…
- Yes?

Your master did it first.

Look at him.

He developed feelings first.

No, your master couldn't control herself.

That's why they're stuck
in this situation.

She couldn't control herself?

Your master is way too shameless.

That's why they are stuck.

Stop it, you two.

Actually,

I do have a request, Immortal Ji.

The fan used by Ming Xian
is called Embers.

It is very powerful

and can be used to subdue netherbeasts.

Embers?

So, its name is Embers.

What a great name.

You want it back?

Can I?

Sure.

But I destroyed it already.

What?

Embers is my…

Ming Xian's most treasured artifact.

Do you have any idea
how many netherbeasts it can defeat?

What does it have to do with me?

Ming Yi.

We are spouses who share a heart imprint

and had our names
carved on the Marriage Stone.

You're impossible.

What did I say?

Look at your master.

Look. Open your eyes.

Hey.

Are you upset now?

Granny Xun. Quick. Help him.

Let me massage your dragon horns

- and save you.
- Go away.

Brush your cat whiskers instead.

You sure you don't want to see
how smitten your master is?

Are you sure?

My master couldn't
control herself, you said.

We don't know what will happen

when we fight Mu Qibai,

but I will protect you.

However,

you must be prepared.

If I survive,

you will not be able to escape from me.

What if I say,

instead of you protecting me,

why don't we protect each other?

Xun Ming mentioned
Heartbond Array in the Illusory Realm.

Ancient tomes also said

that it could seal netherbeasts.

During the netherbeast calamity
a century ago,

it was the Heartbond Array
that sealed them.

To use the array, the spellcasters
must be of one mind and one heart.

If not,

they will be caught in self-immolation.

And it's precisely due to this high risk

that no one has practiced it since then.

If that's what we have to do,

then it's not that complicated.

After all,

we are of the same mind.

Aren't you in love with my niece?

What's love compared to power?

Princess Tianji is incapable
of leading Jixing Abyss.

Even if I side with her,

we will only become fodder
to the netherbeast army.

After I ascend the throne,

the position
of Lord Hanfeng will be vacant.

In my opinion,

you are good enough to carry that title.

I promise you

that you will be a non-relative vassal,

the next Lord Hanfeng.

Thank you, Lord Hanfeng.

No.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

At ease.

Don't worry, Your Majesty.

Even though Tianji can wake her father up,

the divine enfeebling powder
will still take effect.

Your Majesty
can nonetheless accede legitimately.

Now that my brother has taken
enough enfeebling powder,

fighting him during the Prayer Night
is the best option.

Then, we'll declare
that Jixing Abyss has a new emperor.

What do you think?

Wise choice, Your Majesty.

Lord Chengyun, you were
gravely injured in Jixing Abyss.

Now that you have recovered slightly,

you came to my state in private.

Your emperor might just hold you
accountable for your actions here.

I came

to negotiate with you, Your Majesty.

Negotiate?

How arrogant.

Your Majesty, surely you are aware…

THE TAMED TIDES, THE CLARIFIED FLOW

…that Jixing Abyss is in turmoil lately.

First, Your Majesty was misled

into underestimating

Ji Bozai's power
in the Qingyun Tournament.

That already ruined your plan.

Then came Mu Qibai,

who sabotaged your years
of effort in raising netherbeasts

and even caused the death of Lord Jingxi.

Jixing Abyss

is digging its own grave.

I am offering my help

to get rid of Jixing Abyss.

In exchange,
I pray Your Majesty can aid me

in becoming the Crown Prince
of Yaoguang Mountain.

My son, Chao Yu, died in Jixing Abyss.

Not only did Mu Qibai
fail to disclose this to me,

but he even harbored the netherbeast core

in an attempt to go against me.

I confer this important item to you.

We'll see

if you can make good use of it.

It is my honor to serve you, Your Majesty.

You will not be disappointed,

for Jixing Abyss will be no more.

THE VERMILION ELYSIUM

The Prayer Night is upon Jixing Abyss.

In these three long nights,
all plants will wilt.

After the Prayer Night,
the cycle begins anew.

Everything shall be reborn.

The emperor uses
his spiritual power as the foundation

to borrow the power of the stars
before praying for all beings.

May the benevolent stars
strengthen our power.

May the ones present live a long life.

May the light in Jixing Abyss
shine for an eternity.

I pray to you, the benevolent stars.

I pray to you, the auspicious emperor.

- Excuse me.
- This one is good.

- These ones are so pretty.
- What about this one?

- Let me see the one on your wrist.
- Look, lanterns.

Check this out.

- It's so pretty.
- Let me see.

I love the color.

Look.

What is happening?

What is this?

Blessings to all beings!

Ming Yi.

Father,

are you all right?

Surprised?

Yuanfeng, you held the Prayer Night

so that you could fool everyone

into thinking that Jixing Abyss
is as prosperous as always.

But you should know

that the superficial prosperity
is meaningless.

What Jixing Abyss needs is real power.

Father!

Yuanfeng, you are poisoned.

When you invoked
your poisoned power to pray,

you incurred a great curse.

Even the strongest warrior
you have is powerless.

Lord Hanfeng is revolting.

Split into two teams.

One team to protect
the subjects of Jixing Abyss.

One team to head to Jixing Palace with me.

- Noted.
- Noted.

Yuanfeng,

sign on this Abdication Decree

with your blood

so that I can run Jixing Abyss.

Then, I'll end everything.
What do you say?

You will be relieved of your heavy burden.

And I, as the only person
in the Six Realms

who can command the netherbeasts,

will lead the netherbeast army

to conquer Zhushui Spiritual State.

Jixing Abyss will be one
of the Upper Realms forever in the future.

Resist no more, Yuanfeng.

The divine enfeebling powder
Yan Xiao gave you

is not an ordinary poison.

I did not wish to do this.

But your cowardice and risk aversion

turned what was strong into weak.

And the fitting ending for the weak

is death.

ABDICATION DECREE, HAND OVER THE CROWN
TO LORD HANFENG, MU QIBAI

You said you're doing this
for Jixing Abyss,

but the first thing you do
is to sacrifice our people.

They are our subjects!

You will be feared momentarily

and hated for life.

Yuanfeng,

it doesn't seem like
we'll ever reach a consensus.

Mu Qibai.

Sorry for the long wait.

Aren't you supposed to be…

Father, are you all right?

All of you are supposed to be poisoned.

One must deliberately fall for the trap

before one can catch the ringleader.

Mu Qibai asked me to add

the divine enfeebling powder
to the emperor's medicine.

His Majesty will have
a damaged constitution within two weeks.

And as His Majesty

uses his poisoned power to pray
for everyone during the Prayer Night,

all beings will be poisoned.

Your decision to side with me seems final.

I thought it was just
another part of your plan.

Mu Qibai commands the netherbeast army.

He is more likely to win. I did waver.

But rest assured, Ji.

I crave power, but I do have a principle.

I know

right from wrong.

I'm curious.

Why me, Yan?

Why not work with your childhood friend,
Princess Tianji?

Mu Qibai

might be more terrifying than we imagined.

I must deceive Tianji too.

Otherwise, I won't be able
to earn Mu Qibai's trust.

Ji,

if things do not turn out
the way we anticipated,

please

do your best to protect Her Highness.

I suppose

there's no running away from the poison

Mu Qibai instructed you to put in us.

Uncle,

give up already.

Even if your plan works today,

your illegitimate coup d'état

will not convince everyone to follow you.

Yuanfeng has been ill for a long time.

His days are numbered,

but there is no clear heir in sight.

Jixing Abyss will have a leader.

I will carry this burden
as long as I still live.

I run the Shouhua Academy.

I can make sure Jixing Abyss

rises to the Upper Realms
without killing anyone.

I won't let Jixing Abyss return

to the days when it had
to kowtow to others.

Preposterous.

How naive of you to think

that faith alone can make
the other Five Realms submit to you.

Her Highness has her way.

She merely used faith to tell you

that one must lead
a realm with principles.

Do not twist her words.

Why? Do you think
she should learn from you,

who first colluded with Outer Realm

and now relies
on a wild and volatile power?

You will only meet your own demise.

You know nothing.

Don't lose it.

Get in formation!
