Back then,

I severed my spiritual tail in one desperate gamble

and nearly died.

When I was at death's door,

it was Master Dragon Deity who saved me.

He granted me a portion

of his own Dragon Deity's Power,

and that's how I survived.

So,

we made a pact.

I lent out the nine-tailed power

and swore to protect the Dragon Deity forever.

And yet you still broke the pact.

Yuan Wuhuo is truly vicious.

He stirred up murders and panic,

shook the people's faith in Master Dragon Deity,

and used that chance to weaken his power.

As the goodness in people's hearts is eroded

and malice begins to grow, Jiu Ying's power

grows stronger and stronger.

When the Dragon Deity falls,

Jiu Ying will break free of his seal

and return to this world.

You've been stalling us to buy time for those two.

Wangyan, they're trying to take Xiaowei away.

Shiguang, are you planning to snatch him by force?

Now that you've seen through it,

you're staying here,

whether you want to or not.

Under normal circumstances,

if you wanted me to stay,

I'd be more than happy to.

But today,

I'm afraid you won't be able to keep me.

Wangyan, are you all right?

I'm fine.

You hurt my sister?

I'll make you bleed too!

GOLDEN WEAVE

Xiaowei,

you broke your vow and took innocent lives.

I'm taking you back to the Shilin Sect now to face judgment.

The Dragon Deity's Power inside you

can dispel all curses

and bring the dead back to life.

Use it to save Yu Shengwei.

The butterfly demon.

The butterfly demon?

Save her.

Save her.

Bring Wang Sheng back.

Don't you want to repay your debt?

Only you can save her now.

Stop!

That butterfly demon is stealing the Dragon Deity's Power.

Liu Weixue, stop!

Dragon scales?

I didn't expect there'd be a double-flower hunter here too.

A double-flower hunter is as formidable as I thought.

Ji Ling, come here!

Ji Ling!

-Ji Ling! -Back off!

Ji…

It seems he can no longer suppress the demon power inside him.

-He's about to lose control. -That's not demon power.

What happened to the Ice Curse?

Why can he use his power so recklessly without being hunted?

He's using the Dragon Deity's Power.

Naturally, it won't trigger the Ice Curse.

Dragon Deity's Power?

How could Xiaowei have the Dragon Deity's Power?

Commander Li.

Ji Ling?

Demon marks?

Wangyan, Xiaowei's power is completely out of control.

What do we do?

Only the Dragon Deity can deal with him.

But he's in the Shilin Sect.

He'd never come to the Wei mansion for Xiaowei.

Then we'll bring Xiaowei to the Dragon Deity.

Hold him off.

I'll take Ms. Yu to the Dragon Deity Temple.

Master Dragon Deity,

he was gravely wounded by Xiaowei,

and now,

he's beyond saving.

Dispose of him.

Yes.

Out of the way!

Out of the way!

Out of the way!

A barrier?

Do you have a death wish?

This barrier was set with the Dragon Deity's Power.

It'll kill you!

Give her back to me!

Take her.

That brat

sure knows how to play dirty.

Brilliant.

The barrier

has been broken.

How could that happen?

Xiaowei carries the Dragon Deity's Power.

Naturally, he can destroy the barrier.

Master, stay here.

I'll deal with Xiaowei.

Wu Shiguang!

Don't be afraid.

I'll bring you back right now.

Wangyan,

he's using the Dragon Deity's Power.

Xiaowei, Ms. Yu's injuries are too severe.

She can't be saved.

Using the Dragon Deity's Power to forcibly reverse life and death

goes against the laws of heaven.

You'll be reduced to ashes too!

I don't care!

Well, I do.

Wangyan.

How dare you demons barge into the Dragon Deity Temple?

Word Magic?

Stay on guard.

Piercing frost,

let utter darkness descend.

Why… Why can't I see?

Wangyan…

Steady your mind.

Don't let Xiaowei control you.

Xiaowei's Word Magic really is formidable.

Li Jie isn't affected?

It seems Li Jie's physical cultivation is anything but ordinary.

No wonder he could fight us blow for blow,

with nothing but that long blade, without relying on sacred power.

That man is not to be taken lightly.

We can't let him kill Xiaowei.

Wuyi, let's go.

As expected, the three foxes have joined forces.

Wuyi!

Eastern Purple Lightning, grant me your power.

Wangyan!

-Wuyi. -Wangyan, I'm fine.

Greetings, Master Dragon Deity!

The Dragon Deity?

Wangyan, that wasn't the Dragon Deity's Power.

It was the Eastern Purple Lightning from the high-rank demon Bai Ze.

Bai Ze knows the weaknesses of all demons.

Under the Eastern Purple Lightning,

no demon can hide or escape pursuit.

No wonder he didn't strike those demon hunters

and only attacked us.

Looks like the rumors were true.

But why did he attack Wu Shiguang too?

Xiaowei,

you've committed a grave crime.

I know.

But I have to save her.

The Dragon Deity's Power is meant to save all living beings.

It cannot be used for one person alone.

Having been granted the Dragon Deity's Power,

I swear never to claim it for myself, never to use it for evil,

but only to protect all living beings.

If I break this oath,

may I be shattered to pieces and doomed forever.

Even if I'm shattered to pieces

and doomed forever,

I must save her.

Stubborn fool.

Everything you said by my bedside

while I was unconscious…

I heard it all.

For hundreds of years,

through life after life,

all I've ever wanted was to keep you safe.

But now,

I've only hurt you.

I never knew

the chestnut cakes were made by you.

I've felt your heart.

Can you grant me one wish?

Yes, of course.

Whatever it takes, even if I'm torn apart,

I'll keep my word.

Let me…

go.

Use your power to save more people.

The people of Luo'an are waiting for you.

No…

No!

No…

I don't want to!

Grant me this final wish.

No, I don't want to.

No…

Dragon hearts as one,

all to source return,

all barriers break.

Th…

Thank you.

You were nothing but a pawn.

FOURTEENTH YEAR OF THE ZHENYUAN ERA

Every word I ever said to you was a lie.

But you refused to believe it.

Your heart is filled with nothing but your own obsession.

My heart has long belonged to the Buddha.

TWENTIETH YEAR OF THE SHENGJING ERA

I carry no more attachments.

Let go of your obsession.

NINETEENTH YEAR OF THE CHANGYUN ERA

The Wang Sheng who gave his life to save you died long ago.

You've been searching for him for hundreds of years,

life after life.

But we're not who you're looking for.

You used your Formless Moon mark

to mark them in the vast sea of people

so you could find them.

But in truth,

they were all just strangers passing through your life.

You said you were looking for Wang Sheng,

that you wanted to repay his kindness.

But really,

you're only trapped by an obsession you refuse to let go of.

Kites for sale!

All kinds of kites!

Miss, would you like to take a look?

See if any one catches your eye.

A lifetime is filled

with all eight kinds of suffering.

But in this life of mine,

I have only this one suffering.

There is no cure for it

and no one to resent for it.

Perhaps before long,

you too will follow in my footsteps.

Don't.

It's not worth it.

The Dragon Deity's Power I granted you back then

has long since merged with your souls.

If you return it, you'll lose all your power.

If returning it can seal Jiu Ying

and save all living beings,

we are willing to die.

None of you needs to sacrifice yourselves.

I have another way.

You need only lend me your demon power.

As for reclaiming my sacred power,

I have other plans for that in the future.

Bai Ze,

Han Ba,

Wu Zhiqi,

and Xiaowei,

I hope you will keep your promise

and protect the Dragon Deity forever.

Take him back to the Shilin Sect.

Yes, Master.

Ji Ling!

Ji Ling? Ji Ling!

Chi Wen!

‎SERVE THE SCALES, UPHOLD THE RIGHT

I'm saved!

I'm going home!

-I've come to my senses! -Thank you, Dragon Deity!

-I'm going home! -She's saved.

My daughter is saved!

Thank you, Dragon Deity!

Thank you, Dragon Deity!

Xiaowei was trapped by his own obsession.

What about you? Do you have an obsession?

I think

an obsession is like the simplest

and most complicated riddle in the world.

I probably don't have one.

At most, I just want to find the sweetest raspberry

in a whole patch full of them.

What about you, Master Dragon Deity?

Obsession is like searching in endless darkness

for a single night

or searching in a boundless sea of suffering

for a single drop of water untouched by bitterness.

SERVE THE SCALES, UPHOLD THE RIGHT

Chasing an obsession,

worn down by the years,

and trapped in a self-made prison…

What a pity,

Xiaowei.

Keeping a secret

is like guarding a fragile candle flame.

And so, you have no choice but to tell lie after lie.

ALL FLOURISH FOR THE SCALES

SERVE THE SCALES, UPHOLD THE RIGHT

Don't you think the Dragon Deity and Ji Ling

look a lot alike?

-Don't talk nonsense. -Could Ji Ling be an illegitimate son?

Nonsense!

The nine dragon sons all have names and titles.

How could there be an illegitimate son?

Misses, need a boat?

Watch your step.

Oh, no.

Master Chi Wen,

the two stone beasts have been restored,

but the barrier can't be reactivated without the Dragon Deity's Power.

The barrier of the two stone beasts at the main gate

only strips demons of their disguise.

The Shilin Sect itself is covered in ancient formations

powerful enough to destroy demons body and soul.

There's no need to worry.

I'm not worried about myself.

What worries me

is the Dragon Deity's Power

still loose out there.

You've crossed the line.
