00:01:35,900 --> 00:01:40,980
=Love Beyond the Grave=
(Adapted from the novel by Li Qingran)

2
00:01:41,260 --> 00:01:43,990
=Episode 19=

3
00:01:49,340 --> 00:01:50,180
Next one.

4
00:01:51,340 --> 00:01:52,180
Yes.

5
00:01:56,860 --> 00:01:58,340
This outfit is splendid

6
00:01:58,500 --> 00:01:59,340
and quite light.

7
00:01:59,910 --> 00:02:01,500
It won't hinder movement at all.

8
00:02:04,390 --> 00:02:05,300
It is good,

9
00:02:06,110 --> 00:02:07,990
but the design is too ornate.

10
00:02:08,550 --> 00:02:09,510
How wise of you.

11
00:02:10,020 --> 00:02:10,990
I think the same way.

12
00:02:11,350 --> 00:02:12,270
Allow me to trim it.

13
00:02:17,350 --> 00:02:18,190
How is it now?

14
00:02:19,230 --> 00:02:20,110
This one will do.

15
00:02:20,510 --> 00:02:21,350
Yes.

16
00:02:26,020 --> 00:02:26,860
Simu,

17
00:02:27,230 --> 00:02:28,180
you want a new outfit?

18
00:02:29,230 --> 00:02:30,230
Sir, do you know

19
00:02:30,900 --> 00:02:32,180
the Void Tournament is near?

20
00:02:33,110 --> 00:02:33,960
I came

21
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:35,580
to take Her Grace's measure.

22
00:02:36,790 --> 00:02:37,860
What is that?

23
00:02:38,900 --> 00:02:39,900
Every hundred years,

24
00:02:40,420 --> 00:02:41,510
Her Grace holds

25
00:02:41,510 --> 00:02:42,350
a Void Tournament.

26
00:02:42,900 --> 00:02:43,790
On that day,

27
00:02:44,300 --> 00:02:45,740
any spirit can challenge her.

28
00:02:46,740 --> 00:02:47,580
If they win,

29
00:02:47,740 --> 00:02:49,180
Her Grace yields

30
00:02:49,510 --> 00:02:50,350
the throne to them.

31
00:02:50,790 --> 00:02:51,630
And if they lose?

32
00:02:52,140 --> 00:02:52,980
If they lose,

33
00:02:55,390 --> 00:02:56,700
they wait for the next century

34
00:02:56,700 --> 00:02:57,550
and try again.

35
00:03:03,420 --> 00:03:04,460
I see.

36
00:03:06,700 --> 00:03:07,580
No wonder

37
00:03:07,580 --> 00:03:08,740
the city feels different.

38
00:03:12,790 --> 00:03:13,630
Simu,

39
00:03:15,620 --> 00:03:16,830
why hold this tournament?

40
00:03:17,210 --> 00:03:18,070
The desires of spirits

41
00:03:18,070 --> 00:03:19,740
can never be erased.

42
00:03:21,110 --> 00:03:21,990
Rather than curb them,

43
00:03:22,270 --> 00:03:24,110
better let them stir up some trouble.

44
00:03:24,990 --> 00:03:26,020
I can't let them

45
00:03:26,020 --> 00:03:27,110
keep trying to kill me.

46
00:03:29,020 --> 00:03:29,860
But your power

47
00:03:30,180 --> 00:03:31,020
has weakened.

48
00:03:31,950 --> 00:03:32,990
How will you face them?

49
00:03:36,580 --> 00:03:37,420
You can sense

50
00:03:37,430 --> 00:03:38,300
my power change?

51
00:03:40,550 --> 00:03:41,390
I can sense

52
00:03:42,830 --> 00:03:43,700
that you've grown

53
00:03:44,830 --> 00:03:45,700
a little weaker.

54
00:03:49,700 --> 00:03:50,540
It is nothing.

55
00:03:51,620 --> 00:03:53,020
The Fusang Tree is restored.

56
00:03:53,830 --> 00:03:55,510
Next, I need only breath regulation.

57
00:03:56,070 --> 00:03:56,990
I can handle it.

58
00:03:58,015 --> 00:03:59,112
If they find out about that

59
00:03:59,123 --> 00:03:59,963
during the contest,

60
00:04:00,860 --> 00:04:02,460
what will your ambitious courtiers

61
00:04:03,300 --> 00:04:04,140
do then?

62
00:04:06,020 --> 00:04:07,830
Even together, they're no match for me.

63
00:04:08,990 --> 00:04:10,700
But if I don't show up,

64
00:04:12,020 --> 00:04:13,208
they'll immediately figure out

65
00:04:13,219 --> 00:04:13,900
what's going on.

66
00:04:15,020 --> 00:04:15,860
By then,

67
00:04:16,740 --> 00:04:17,710
over half of the spirits

68
00:04:17,710 --> 00:04:18,940
will be after my life.

69
00:04:25,590 --> 00:04:26,430
So,

70
00:04:28,990 --> 00:04:29,830
you have to show up?

71
00:04:31,230 --> 00:04:32,070
That's right.

72
00:04:33,030 --> 00:04:34,110
What would make you not go?

73
00:04:36,500 --> 00:04:37,380
Nothing could stop me.

74
00:04:39,260 --> 00:04:40,300
I'm your spell bearer.

75
00:04:40,940 --> 00:04:41,780
And I can't stop you?

76
00:04:43,710 --> 00:04:45,350
What does that have to do with that?

77
00:04:48,620 --> 00:04:49,460
As for you,

78
00:04:50,860 --> 00:04:51,700
these past few days,

79
00:04:52,300 --> 00:04:54,180
you've been running out every day.

80
00:04:54,710 --> 00:04:56,060
Is the Void that enticing to you?

81
00:05:01,150 --> 00:05:02,260
You're not used

82
00:05:03,670 --> 00:05:04,740
to my absence, right?

83
00:05:06,710 --> 00:05:07,550
Watch your tongue.

84
00:05:08,420 --> 00:05:09,270
I should have let you

85
00:05:09,270 --> 00:05:10,740
keep suffering from cold poison.

86
00:05:12,380 --> 00:05:13,300
Please calm your anger.

87
00:05:13,910 --> 00:05:15,150
I was only joking just now.

88
00:05:16,300 --> 00:05:17,180
I've been going out

89
00:05:18,300 --> 00:05:19,140
for this very thing.

90
00:05:37,590 --> 00:05:38,690
I've troubled you for days,

91
00:05:39,277 --> 00:05:40,610
so I wanted to get you something.

92
00:05:41,500 --> 00:05:42,470
I made this for you.

Move.

Let me go.

131

Let me go!

132
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:32,840
Move.

133
00:08:34,190 --> 00:08:35,190
Let me go.

134
00:08:35,470 --> 00:08:36,310
I want...

135
00:08:37,500 --> 00:08:38,340
Let me go.

Stop right there.

140
00:08:48,020 --> 00:08:48,860
Don't run.

141
00:09:54,660 --> 00:09:55,500
What is it?

142
00:09:57,070 --> 00:09:57,950
Where did Father go?

143
00:09:58,260 --> 00:09:59,740
I looked everywhere for him.

144
00:10:02,860 --> 00:10:04,020
Your father is the Sovereign.

145
00:10:04,260 --> 00:10:05,950
He has duties to bear.

146
00:10:06,500 --> 00:10:07,380
Once he is done,

147
00:10:07,566 --> 00:10:08,472
he'll come to see you.

148
00:10:09,310 --> 00:10:10,780
Why must Father be the Sovereign?

149
00:10:11,710 --> 00:10:13,660
Every time he returns to the Void,

150
00:10:14,430 --> 00:10:15,763
he never has time to play with me.

151
00:10:17,500 --> 00:10:19,540
Your father never wished for this role.

152
00:10:20,070 --> 00:10:21,620
He wants to stay with us.

153
00:10:22,110 --> 00:10:22,950
But

154
00:10:23,470 --> 00:10:25,110
these spirits are driven by desire.

155
00:10:25,620 --> 00:10:26,710
If we let those

156
00:10:26,710 --> 00:10:27,740
with selfish desires

157
00:10:27,740 --> 00:10:28,620
rule the Spirit World,

158
00:10:29,110 --> 00:10:30,310
it would surely throw

159
00:10:30,590 --> 00:10:31,950
the Mortal and Spirit Worlds

160
00:10:32,380 --> 00:10:33,710
into ruin and suffering.

161
00:10:36,740 --> 00:10:38,140
Being the Sovereign is no fun.

162
00:10:38,380 --> 00:10:39,660
I don't want to be the Sovereign.

163
00:10:44,900 --> 00:10:46,590
When you become the Sovereign one day,

164
00:10:46,900 --> 00:10:48,380
you will understand.

165
00:10:59,430 --> 00:11:00,660
(I still don't like)

166
00:11:00,660 --> 00:11:01,710
(to be the Sovereign.)

167
00:11:33,350 --> 00:11:34,190
Come on, fight.

168
00:11:35,740 --> 00:11:36,580
Fight.

169
00:11:37,350 --> 00:11:38,190
Fight!

170
00:11:39,540 --> 00:11:40,430
Hurry up.

171
00:11:43,230 --> 00:11:44,140
Simu lifted

172
00:11:44,140 --> 00:11:45,350
the curfew on the day

173
00:11:45,350 --> 00:11:46,430
of the Void Tournament

174
00:11:46,430 --> 00:11:47,500
and set the matches

175
00:11:47,500 --> 00:11:48,900
under the full moon,

176
00:11:49,190 --> 00:11:50,830
so these spirits

177
00:11:50,990 --> 00:11:52,990
would unleash their full strength.

178
00:11:53,470 --> 00:11:55,380
Tonight, it's only just begun.

179
00:12:00,110 --> 00:12:00,990
No more. I quit.

180
00:12:29,350 --> 00:12:30,660
Before these spirits came,

181
00:12:30,660 --> 00:12:32,190
they all signed death waivers.

182
00:12:32,740 --> 00:12:33,740
They'll fight

183
00:12:34,110 --> 00:12:35,470
to the death.

184
00:12:36,500 --> 00:12:37,340
Where is Simu?

185
00:12:37,990 --> 00:12:39,710
Aren't these spirits here
to challenge her?

186
00:12:42,110 --> 00:12:43,620
There are so many spirits

187
00:12:43,620 --> 00:12:44,460
vying for her seat.

188
00:12:44,590 --> 00:12:45,990
If Simu faces them one by one,

189
00:12:45,990 --> 00:12:46,830
she'll be worn out.

190
00:12:47,540 --> 00:12:48,620
The preliminaries

191
00:12:48,620 --> 00:12:49,740
started this morning.

192
00:12:50,470 --> 00:12:51,660
The martial contestants

193
00:12:51,830 --> 00:12:52,860
fight through a melee

194
00:12:53,110 --> 00:12:54,020
and face off in pairs.

195
00:12:54,430 --> 00:12:56,020
Only the final ten pairs

196
00:12:56,350 --> 00:12:57,310
will earn the right

197
00:12:57,310 --> 00:12:58,830
to face Simu directly.

198
00:13:06,500 --> 00:13:07,340
Everyone,

199
00:13:07,470 --> 00:13:09,950
the preliminaries end now.

200
00:13:20,310 --> 00:13:21,260
What is that smell?

201
00:13:27,830 --> 00:13:29,110
The time is about right.

202
00:13:29,620 --> 00:13:30,710
Simu should be here.

203
00:13:32,260 --> 00:13:33,100
Look.

204
00:13:33,100 --> 00:13:33,950
Quick.

205
00:13:33,950 --> 00:13:34,800
It's Her Grace.

206
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:36,900
Her Grace is here.

207
00:13:36,900 --> 00:13:37,830
Her Grace.

208
00:13:37,830 --> 00:13:38,740
Her Grace is here.

209
00:14:17,740 --> 00:14:19,020
Let's not waste time.

210
00:14:19,900 --> 00:14:21,070
Come at me together.

211
00:14:41,470 --> 00:14:42,310
Your Grace,

212
00:14:42,590 --> 00:14:43,430
impressive!

213
00:14:43,660 --> 00:14:45,430
Whoever defeats me today

214
00:14:46,780 --> 00:14:47,740
will claim the seat

215
00:14:48,310 --> 00:14:49,190
of the Sovereign.

216
00:15:05,950 --> 00:15:07,230
I'm Wu Kui.

217
00:15:07,830 --> 00:15:09,020
Greetings, Your Grace.

218
00:15:09,020 --> 00:15:10,460
Wu Kui. He's making his move.

219
00:15:10,990 --> 00:15:11,830
Right now, only he

220
00:15:11,830 --> 00:15:12,900
can match Her Grace.

221
00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:14,320
Wu Kui.

222
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:15,160
Wu Kui is formidable.

223
00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:16,350
- Exactly.
- Indeed.

224
00:15:16,350 --> 00:15:17,310
Watch closely.

225
00:15:17,310 --> 00:15:18,190
That is Wu Kui.

226
00:15:22,380 --> 00:15:23,470
It's been 100 years.

227
00:15:23,950 --> 00:15:25,230
You've grown a little stronger.

228
00:15:25,860 --> 00:15:26,700
Thanks, Your Grace.

229
00:15:27,380 --> 00:15:28,220
Then,

230
00:15:28,590 --> 00:15:29,430
forgive me.

231
00:15:39,260 --> 00:15:40,153
This spirit is strong,

232
00:15:40,473 --> 00:15:41,782
different from the rivals before.

233
00:15:41,860 --> 00:15:42,700
Of course.

234
00:15:42,860 --> 00:15:44,140
He was once the Lord

235
00:15:44,140 --> 00:15:45,590
of Zhuangling Temple.

236
00:15:46,990 --> 00:15:49,310
The spirits of Zhuangling Temple

237
00:15:50,990 --> 00:15:53,430
all crave power, especially Wu Kui.

238
00:15:54,430 --> 00:15:56,660
After Simu became the Sovereign,

239
00:15:57,660 --> 00:15:59,380
he came to challenge her
countless times.

240
00:16:00,110 --> 00:16:01,070
After each defeat,

241
00:16:01,070 --> 00:16:03,140
he resigned and went

242
00:16:03,500 --> 00:16:05,430
to the North Sea to train.

243
00:16:06,620 --> 00:16:07,950
He's not challenging Simu

244
00:16:08,260 --> 00:16:09,593
for the position of the Sovereign,

245
00:16:09,950 --> 00:16:11,470
but to become the strongest.

246
00:17:52,980 --> 00:17:53,820
In these 300 years,

247
00:17:53,820 --> 00:17:54,950
you are the first

248
00:17:55,780 --> 00:17:56,630
to make it this far.

249
00:17:57,150 --> 00:17:58,300
You flatter me.

250
00:18:27,710 --> 00:18:28,740
You can't beat me.

251
00:18:29,150 --> 00:18:30,470
Come back in the next century.

252
00:18:30,870 --> 00:18:31,710
Your Grace,

253
00:18:32,060 --> 00:18:33,300
will I be able to win

254
00:18:33,990 --> 00:18:35,260
in the next century?

255
00:18:41,820 --> 00:18:43,780
Why must you act on impulse?

256
00:18:45,580 --> 00:18:46,420
Your Grace,

257
00:18:47,060 --> 00:18:48,990
after my last defeat, I resolved

258
00:18:50,190 --> 00:18:51,100
that this time,

259
00:18:51,820 --> 00:18:52,660
I'd either prevail

260
00:18:53,500 --> 00:18:54,630
or perish.

261
00:18:54,990 --> 00:18:56,260
Spirits live long.

262
00:18:58,230 --> 00:18:59,300
Why would you do this?

263
00:19:00,740 --> 00:19:02,300
I see things differently, Your Grace.

264
00:19:03,670 --> 00:19:04,910
If I don't give it my all,

265
00:19:06,100 --> 00:19:07,820
it is no different from death.

266
00:19:08,990 --> 00:19:09,830
Kui.

267
00:19:39,300 --> 00:19:40,140
Kui!

268
00:19:41,580 --> 00:19:42,630
If that is your choice,

269
00:19:45,340 --> 00:19:47,020
I will grant your wish.

270
00:19:58,780 --> 00:19:59,950
Simu's Kunwu Blade.

271
00:21:00,020 --> 00:21:01,230
Your Grace, well done!

272
00:21:05,870 --> 00:21:06,710
Your Grace!

273
00:21:07,950 --> 00:21:08,790
Your Grace!

274
00:21:10,630 --> 00:21:11,470
You're incredible!

275
00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:12,710
Indeed.

276
00:21:12,710 --> 00:21:13,910
- Your Grace!
- Your Grace!

277
00:21:13,910 --> 00:21:14,750
I knew Simu was good,

278
00:21:15,670 --> 00:21:16,510
but not this good.

279
00:21:17,470 --> 00:21:18,780
Within ten generations,

280
00:21:18,780 --> 00:21:20,020
she is the strongest Sovereign.

281
00:21:20,390 --> 00:21:21,390
Her power is terrifying.

282
00:21:21,710 --> 00:21:22,580
You never saw it then.

283
00:21:23,150 --> 00:21:24,710
When the former Sovereign fell,

284
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:26,326
the Spirits Lantern had no master,

285
00:21:26,390 --> 00:21:27,670
and the Void fell into chaos.

286
00:21:28,300 --> 00:21:29,670
In the end,

287
00:21:29,670 --> 00:21:31,019
Simu slew over half the rebels

288
00:21:31,030 --> 00:21:31,910
in the Void.

289
00:21:32,260 --> 00:21:33,230
Of the 24 Temples,

290
00:21:33,230 --> 00:21:34,670
over 30% of the Lords

291
00:21:34,670 --> 00:21:36,510
were annihilated by Simu.

292
00:21:36,750 --> 00:21:37,780
From that day on,

293
00:21:37,990 --> 00:21:39,100
no spirits in the Void

294
00:21:39,100 --> 00:21:40,470
dared tell Simu no.

295
00:21:41,340 --> 00:21:42,180
Of course,

296
00:21:42,740 --> 00:21:43,710
it includes that one.

297
00:21:57,670 --> 00:21:59,740
Greetings, Your Grace.

298
00:22:02,580 --> 00:22:03,500
Greetings, Your Grace.

299
00:22:19,100 --> 00:22:20,020
Only you are left now.

300
00:23:00,300 --> 00:23:01,430
The Chiling Secret Technique

301
00:23:01,430 --> 00:23:02,270
hasn't appeared

302
00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:03,340
for over 1,000 years.

303
00:23:15,260 --> 00:23:16,580
The stronger the spirit power,

304
00:23:16,910 --> 00:23:18,300
the harder this move hits back.

305
00:23:21,740 --> 00:23:23,340
The cruel part of this technique

306
00:23:23,340 --> 00:23:24,780
is that it drains spirit power

307
00:23:24,780 --> 00:23:27,300
and turns it on its owner.

308
00:23:33,780 --> 00:23:35,260
How generous of you.

309
00:23:35,630 --> 00:23:37,580
We will gladly accept it.

310
00:23:48,500 --> 00:23:50,710
Do you think I haven't seen

311
00:23:53,300 --> 00:23:54,870
this power-stealing trick?

312
00:24:06,340 --> 00:24:07,470
You can't withstand

313
00:24:07,470 --> 00:24:08,580
such overwhelming power.

314
00:24:12,230 --> 00:24:13,990
You're seeking death.

315
00:24:25,470 --> 00:24:27,630
Two annoying flies.

316
00:24:34,780 --> 00:24:35,780
That scent is gone.

317
00:24:37,260 --> 00:24:38,670
It was coming from them.

318
00:24:39,420 --> 00:24:42,990
♪Yet I can't♪

319
00:24:46,190 --> 00:24:48,150
Your Grace, you possess
supreme authority

320
00:24:48,500 --> 00:24:49,740
and boundless might.

321
00:24:49,990 --> 00:24:52,150
Your Grace, you possess
supreme authority

322
00:24:52,390 --> 00:24:53,870
and boundless might.

323
00:24:54,670 --> 00:24:57,100
Your Grace, you possess
supreme authority

324
00:24:57,260 --> 00:24:58,910
and boundless might.

325
00:24:59,300 --> 00:25:01,820
Your Grace, you possess
supreme authority

326
00:25:01,820 --> 00:25:03,230
and boundless might.

327
00:25:04,260 --> 00:25:05,100
Your Grace!

328
00:25:09,580 --> 00:25:10,420
Your Grace!

329
00:25:19,470 --> 00:25:20,310
(That scent again.)

330
00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:31,580
Yes.

331
00:25:31,580 --> 00:25:32,420
Truly astounding.

332
00:25:38,630 --> 00:25:40,740
This tournament now comes to an end.

333
00:25:41,150 --> 00:25:42,060
The Crown of the Victor

334
00:25:42,230 --> 00:25:44,060
still rests in the hands

335
00:25:44,190 --> 00:25:45,300
of the current Sovereign.

336
00:25:45,670 --> 00:25:47,630
All unconvinced heroes

337
00:25:47,990 --> 00:25:49,570
may gather

338
00:25:49,570 --> 00:25:50,720
in the arena

339
00:25:51,020 --> 00:25:52,410
and fight for the throne

340
00:25:52,490 --> 00:25:53,890
in another century.

341
00:26:02,390 --> 00:26:03,470
Enough. I know.

342
00:26:09,430 --> 00:26:10,270
Over here.

343
00:26:14,060 --> 00:26:15,020
Come, a reward.

344
00:26:15,230 --> 00:26:16,150
Does this feel good?

345
00:26:18,780 --> 00:26:19,990
It has been a while.

346
00:26:20,150 --> 00:26:21,190
Your touch has improved.

347
00:26:26,710 --> 00:26:28,030
(The scent is lost in cosmetics.)

348
00:26:32,020 --> 00:26:32,950
What is your name?

349
00:26:32,950 --> 00:26:34,190
Yes, yes.

350
00:26:34,630 --> 00:26:35,470
Is my touch okay?

351
00:26:35,910 --> 00:26:37,910
Each time you come here,

352
00:26:38,340 --> 00:26:40,230
you always catch me off guard.

353
00:26:40,870 --> 00:26:42,060
Let us have a look.

354
00:26:42,190 --> 00:26:43,430
You do the same to me

355
00:26:43,430 --> 00:26:44,540
by appearing

356
00:26:45,150 --> 00:26:46,260
right behind me.

357
00:26:49,390 --> 00:26:50,230
Yan Zhang.

358
00:26:51,950 --> 00:26:52,790
We are closed today.

359
00:26:53,260 --> 00:26:54,100
Please pardon

360
00:26:54,300 --> 00:26:55,150
the discourtesy.

361
00:26:57,300 --> 00:26:58,190
Very well.

362
00:26:58,190 --> 00:26:59,340
All right, all right.

363
00:27:01,340 --> 00:27:02,180
Lord Yan,

364
00:27:03,470 --> 00:27:04,820
an honored guest came.

365
00:27:05,230 --> 00:27:06,710
Why weren't you with him?

366
00:27:07,540 --> 00:27:09,470
If the ladies here get the wrong idea,

367
00:27:10,390 --> 00:27:11,580
can you bear that blame?

368
00:27:12,990 --> 00:27:14,430
I failed to notice in time

369
00:27:14,430 --> 00:27:15,340
that Mr. Duan was here.

370
00:27:15,710 --> 00:27:17,020
A grave mishap was nearly caused.

371
00:27:18,430 --> 00:27:20,500
Qifeng House serves ladies only.

372
00:27:21,150 --> 00:27:23,100
If you wish to stay and look around,

373
00:27:23,340 --> 00:27:25,710
please allow me to accompany you.

374
00:27:29,540 --> 00:27:30,380
This time,

375
00:27:30,820 --> 00:27:32,060
I did not come for pleasure.

376
00:27:32,670 --> 00:27:34,230
Then what did you come for?

377
00:27:35,100 --> 00:27:35,990
Young man,

378
00:27:36,260 --> 00:27:37,300
Qifeng House

379
00:27:37,710 --> 00:27:39,230
is not a place for you.

380
00:27:39,870 --> 00:27:41,020
But you invited me.

381
00:27:41,670 --> 00:27:42,630
Me?

382
00:27:42,630 --> 00:27:44,500
During the archery match, you said

383
00:27:45,100 --> 00:27:45,980
that at Xuling Temple,

384
00:27:46,740 --> 00:27:48,060
I could look around as I pleased.

385
00:27:50,460 --> 00:27:52,190
So, it seems I was in the wrong

386
00:27:52,470 --> 00:27:53,630
for spoiling your mood.

387
00:27:53,910 --> 00:27:54,990
I'm glad you remember.

388
00:27:55,780 --> 00:27:56,910
I almost thought

389
00:27:57,430 --> 00:27:58,290
I couldn't tour

390
00:27:58,290 --> 00:27:59,500
Xuling Temple today.

391
00:28:00,150 --> 00:28:01,590
After all, the tournament just ended.

392
00:28:02,190 --> 00:28:03,040
You must have

393
00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:04,820
much to handle in the aftermath.

394
00:28:16,990 --> 00:28:18,470
Her Grace was ambushed

395
00:28:18,470 --> 00:28:19,540
in the Void Valley.

396
00:28:22,230 --> 00:28:23,710
There is no need to worry.

397
00:28:23,870 --> 00:28:25,260
The Right Hand was with her.

398
00:28:25,260 --> 00:28:26,230
Nothing would happen.

399
00:28:27,190 --> 00:28:28,500
They have already returned.

400
00:28:29,260 --> 00:28:30,430
Simu is already

401
00:28:30,430 --> 00:28:31,710
resting in her bedchamber.

402
00:28:40,780 --> 00:28:41,620
Simu.

403
00:28:44,060 --> 00:28:44,900
Simu.

404
00:28:50,060 --> 00:28:51,200
Coming in without permission,

405
00:28:51,340 --> 00:28:52,620
you've grown far too bold.

406
00:28:54,020 --> 00:28:54,860
For the coming days,

407
00:28:55,190 --> 00:28:56,430
I need quiet seclusion.

408
00:28:57,195 --> 00:28:58,301
Go stay in the side chamber.

409
00:29:03,500 --> 00:29:04,340
Sir!

410
00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:06,060
Sir,

411
00:29:06,060 --> 00:29:06,900
I've been looking…

412
00:29:08,190 --> 00:29:09,230
for you.

413
00:29:11,950 --> 00:29:12,790
Her Grace…

414
00:29:13,870 --> 00:29:15,020
Her Grace asked me

415
00:29:15,630 --> 00:29:17,870
to settle you in the side chamber.

416
00:29:18,870 --> 00:29:20,670
Don't be too downhearted.

417
00:29:20,950 --> 00:29:21,960
You're so handsome.

418
00:29:21,999 --> 00:29:23,045
Her Grace still likes you.

419
00:29:24,230 --> 00:29:26,060
She just finished the tournament.

420
00:29:26,470 --> 00:29:28,390
So much awaits.

421
00:29:28,540 --> 00:29:29,380
In a few days…

422
00:29:29,580 --> 00:29:30,440
In a few days,

423
00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:31,810
she will surely summon you again.

424
00:29:36,060 --> 00:29:36,900
I am telling you.

425
00:29:37,190 --> 00:29:38,340
The side chamber is not bad.

426
00:29:38,470 --> 00:29:39,950
It is filled with jeweled adornments.

427
00:29:41,740 --> 00:29:42,580
You may go now.

428
00:29:47,670 --> 00:29:48,510
Yes.

429
00:29:58,300 --> 00:29:59,480
(Memorial)
Simu,

430
00:29:59,491 --> 00:30:00,850
the spirits that attacked you today

431
00:30:00,870 --> 00:30:01,710
are all listed here.

432
00:30:07,260 --> 00:30:08,609
You're in charge of the placement

433
00:30:08,620 --> 00:30:09,820
and ascension

434
00:30:10,260 --> 00:30:11,400
of the Void's spirits.

435
00:30:11,820 --> 00:30:12,820
Why would spirits

436
00:30:12,820 --> 00:30:14,310
marked as ascended on the register

437
00:30:14,740 --> 00:30:16,840
suddenly appear and ambush me

438
00:30:17,190 --> 00:30:19,100
in the Void Valley?

439
00:31:06,390 --> 00:31:07,820
Had you not arrived in time

440
00:31:08,230 --> 00:31:09,276
and fought with your life,

441
00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:10,820
I would not have

442
00:31:10,820 --> 00:31:12,020
broken free so quickly.

443
00:31:12,470 --> 00:31:13,310
No need for formality

444
00:31:13,470 --> 00:31:14,310
between us.

445
00:32:29,740 --> 00:32:31,190
I will look into this.

446
00:32:32,060 --> 00:32:33,322
If it were just the ascension

447
00:32:33,333 --> 00:32:34,910
that had gone awry,

448
00:32:35,610 --> 00:32:37,100
we'd simply deal with them by the law.

449
00:32:37,540 --> 00:32:39,470
But from what I saw today,

450
00:32:40,150 --> 00:32:41,430
those spirits were controlled.

451
00:32:41,990 --> 00:32:43,430
To control spirits,

452
00:32:44,540 --> 00:32:46,260
one must hold a fierce obsession

453
00:32:46,260 --> 00:32:47,100
and immense power.

454
00:32:48,710 --> 00:32:50,670
Someone with such an obsession

455
00:32:51,710 --> 00:32:53,223
and spirit power may only be the one

456
00:32:53,234 --> 00:32:54,330
in Nine-Square Maze Prison.

457
00:32:58,150 --> 00:32:58,990
It's been centuries.

458
00:33:01,630 --> 00:33:03,390
He was annihilated long ago.

459
00:33:05,470 --> 00:33:06,430
Other than him,

460
00:33:07,740 --> 00:33:08,870
I can think of no one else.

461
00:33:10,740 --> 00:33:11,950
Keep this matter quiet.

462
00:33:12,870 --> 00:33:14,060
Conduct the inquiry in secret.

463
00:33:14,870 --> 00:33:15,710
Yes.

464
00:33:17,150 --> 00:33:17,990
Yan,

465
00:33:19,390 --> 00:33:21,100
you've spent much spirit power today.

466
00:33:21,340 --> 00:33:22,640
Go back and get some proper rest.

467
00:33:25,990 --> 00:33:27,020
You should rest well too.

468
00:33:27,390 --> 00:33:28,500
I'll come see you tomorrow.

469
00:33:49,580 --> 00:33:50,910
Stop standing here in my way.

470
00:33:51,630 --> 00:33:53,020
Simu is in no mood

471
00:33:53,020 --> 00:33:53,870
to toy with you.

472
00:33:54,340 --> 00:33:55,180
Have some sense.

473
00:33:55,500 --> 00:33:57,150
Go back where you came from.

474
00:34:00,740 --> 00:34:01,710
Where I stay or go

475
00:34:02,670 --> 00:34:03,990
is not your concern.

476
00:34:09,270 --> 00:34:11,220
You're only her passing amusement.

477
00:34:12,500 --> 00:34:13,950
She already drove you out,

478
00:34:14,270 --> 00:34:15,750
yet you still cling to her.

479
00:34:16,540 --> 00:34:18,390
How shameless.

480
00:34:21,310 --> 00:34:22,790
You've clung to her for centuries.

481
00:34:23,790 --> 00:34:24,630
You are

482
00:34:24,950 --> 00:34:26,140
far more shameless than I am.

483
00:34:26,790 --> 00:34:28,310
Besides, Simu hasn't told me to leave.

484
00:34:29,500 --> 00:34:30,470
Who do you think you are?

485
00:34:31,270 --> 00:34:32,140
Who am I?

486
00:34:32,870 --> 00:34:34,580
I'm the Right Hand of the Void.

487
00:34:35,540 --> 00:34:37,100
I helped her put down the rebellion,

488
00:34:37,350 --> 00:34:38,470
enforced the laws,

489
00:34:38,620 --> 00:34:40,060
and governed the Void.

490
00:34:40,990 --> 00:34:42,950
I can stay by her side

491
00:34:42,950 --> 00:34:43,790
forever.

492
00:34:45,060 --> 00:34:45,900
You're just

493
00:34:48,220 --> 00:34:50,180
a self-righteous mortal,

494
00:34:50,750 --> 00:34:52,470
a shameless outsider,

495
00:34:53,330 --> 00:34:55,360
a useless man
who only brings Simu trouble.

496
00:34:57,830 --> 00:34:58,950
What can you give her?

497
00:35:46,180 --> 00:35:48,100
A self-righteous mortal,

498
00:35:48,870 --> 00:35:50,500
a shameless outsider,

499
00:35:51,500 --> 00:35:53,660
a useless man
who only brings Simu trouble.

500
00:35:54,910 --> 00:35:56,180
What can you give her?
