[Sword and Beloved]

[Episode 12]

You're quite interesting.

No wonder

the Soldier took a liking to you.

[Wangquan]

This sword will be

the Wangquan Sword for our child.

I'll teach him every sword technique

I know.

[Grand Ambition Soaring to the Heavens]

How are things

with the elders?

They are still waiting in the hall.

They said

if they don't get a satisfactory answer soon,

they'll forge Fugui

into a magic tool.

They're set on punishing Fugui,

but I won't let them have their way.

Fei.

Yes?

Have you gone to check on Fugui?

Yes.

Has he

reflected on what he did?

Young Master's temper is just like yours when you were young—

stubborn as hell.

Give him one more day.

If Fugui still

refuses to apologize tomorrow,

I'll personally throw those people

out of the Wangquan Manor.

Master,

Quan Jingting requests

your presence in the main hall right away.

[Do your best to kill demons.]

Quan Jingting,

what's the meaning of this?

Chief,

don't you think this pitiful little demon

looks familiar?

She's the one who kept the Soldier company

at the Cold Pool.

Nonsense!

If she's a demon,

why doesn't she carry any demonic aura?

The Soldier

used a magic tool to suppress

her demonic aura.

I found this sword

on this demon

when I caught her.

Elder Shouren,

take a look. What kind of sword is this?

This is the Wangquan family's unique sword-forging technique.

Hongye,

give us an explanation.

Tingyun.

[Dust-Seeker]

You really are a demon.

Tell us!

What's going on?

You've found me out.

Yes.

I'm a spider demon from the Silk Cave.

The Mistress gave me a magic tool

so I could take human form

and sneak into the Wangquan Manor.

I stole

this sword myself.

We demons

and the Wangquan family

will forever be sworn enemies.

So I intended to use this sword

to kill everyone in the Wangquan Manor!

You captured me today,

so I have nothing to say.

Kill me if you wish.

Fine!

As you wish.

Chief,

the Soldier having an affair

with a demon is a grave matter.

It must be investigated thoroughly.

To show that the Wangquan family is fair,

let me

interrogate this spider demon for you.

Watch your mouth, Master Quan.

This demon has pleaded guilty.

She never said she had an affair with the Soldier.

You believe what a demon says?

The Blue Sky Assembly's prophecy—

I suppose

you all know about it.

Elder Shouren,

are you

going to just let it slide?

Gentlemen,

the Chief and the Soldier are father and son.

So the Chief should recuse himself.

Jingting,

you'll interrogate this demon.

My age has not clouded my judgment yet.

Fine.

Spider demon,

be honest

and tell us everything.

How did you

seduce the Soldier

and have an affair with him?

Bah!

I don't even know the Soldier.

How could I have an affair with him?

You, on the other hand,

are such a hypocrite.

We of the Silk Cave

have long known what you've done.

You're a treacherous,

faithless,

and self-serving scumbag!

Looks like

you won't tell the truth

until you've suffered a little.

See?

I was right about you.

You're a treacherous,

faithless,

and self-serving scumbag!

Little demon,

you're quite hard to crack.

Will you confess or not?

I've told you.

I stole

this sword myself.

If you want to kill or torture me,

just go ahead!

I'd like to see

how many talismans you can survive.

Master Quan!

She said she has nothing to do with the Soldier.

Must you torture her

into a false confession?

Torture?

Ridiculous!

This demon is cunning and deceitful.

If we don't push her a bit,

how can we get the truth?

Feng,

you're so exasperated.

Are you

trying to protect this demon?

You...

Tingyun.

Stand down.

I know…

now that I've fallen into your hands,

there's no way I'm making it out alive.

But even so,

I won't let you use me.

You little demon,

you think I want to use you?

Getting others to do your dirty work

and eliminate your enemies—

isn't that what you're best at?

Nonsense!

Still refusing to tell the truth?

You're so stubborn.

Are you going to tell us or not?

The Silk Cave's intel…

has never been wrong.

You…

all of you who believe Quan Jingting,

have you forgotten

how he was driven out of the Wangquan Manor back then?

He is...

He's using you to do his dirty work.

He's using you

for personal revenge!

He's using all of you!

Senior Fugui.

Senior Fugui!

I'm Feng Tingyun.

Demon,

you'd rather die

than admit to an affair with the Soldier.

Seems the two of you are very close.

How do you

explain this?

This brocade was found in the Soldier's quarters.

Producing silk to make brocade with paintings as your love token.

How very refined!

Chief…

Chief, I'm begging you.

Please kill me.

Please kill me.

I'm really just a spy.

I don't even know the Soldier.

I have nothing to do with the Soldier!

Please kill me!

[Do your best to kill demons.]

Weaving silk brocade is

a demonic skill unique to this spindle spider demon.

Do you still believe

the Soldier and this demon girl don't have an affair?

Love leads to disaster.

Love knows no bounds.

If the Soldier is with a demon,

he's definitely changed.

That's why he's bent on protecting

[Do your best to kill demons.]

those evil demons at Peach Village.

The prophecies from the Spiritual Stone

have never been wrong.

13 Moves and the Heaven-and-Earth Strike—

the Soldier will break the circle

and end the world!

The facts are plain.

The Soldier

can't stay!

As long as Young Master

hasn't unleashed the Heaven-and-Earth Strike,

anyone who calls him the one in the prophecy

will have to

answer to me first!

Fei.

Chief,

the Soldier has an affair with this demon girl.

The evidence is clear.

Are you still going to cover for him?

Go,

bring the Soldier here.

No need!

[Do your best to kill demons.]

[Heaven and Earth Hall]

[Do your best to kill demons.]

Father.

Good.

This brocade painting

is rather elegant.

Should I call you naive,

or is the mastermind just too clever?

They used a little demon

to bewitch you.

For a demon's sake,

you won't even draw the Wangquan Sword.

Foolish!

You're unworthy of being a Wangquan,

even less worthy

of wielding the Wangquan Sword!

If you won't draw your sword,

then I will help you!

[Do your best to kill demons.]

[Wangquan]

You're young

and inexperienced.

Hold the sword

and kill her.

Then I'll let it go.

Father,

she's severely injured.

Can you let her go?

I said,

kill her!

Father, you want me to kill her…

just because she's a demon?

I want you to kill her,

not just because she's a demon,

but also because

she's already corrupted your judgment!

Father, did you only marry Mother

because she possessed the Dongfang Blood?

Was it solely

to create a stronger Soldier?

You're out of line!

Father,

all these years…

I've always obeyed you.

I never chose

to become a Soldier,

but I never rebelled.

Yet now,

for the sake of a demon,

you choose to defy your father?

Everything I have done

has never been just for a demon.

From the Peach Village to the Wangquan Manor,

I only wanted...

I only wanted my father

to hear the way of the sword I have come to understand.

But in your eyes,

I am and always will be…

just a sword to be used for killing.

To draw the sword and seek the Way—

[Wangquan]

what is it that I truly want?

Young Master,

someone used spider silk to stop his bleeding.

If a demon does good,

what crime is there?

Humans and demons may be different,

but kindness is the same.

So what crime is there?

You're the Soldier of the Yiqi Alliance.

By helping me protect Peach Village this time,

[Do your best to kill demons.]

I'm afraid

you'll have to pay a heavy price.

As you said,

our cultivation isn't

to compromise with this chaotic world.

In that case…

thank you.

[Do your best to kill demons.]

If the Wangquan Sword

makes all living beings homeless,

then what's the point of being the Soldier

of the Yiqi Alliance?

Fugui!

Senior Fugui!

[Do your best to kill demons.]

[Do your best to kill demons.]

Wangquan Fugui!

Father.

I'm sorry.

If we

made it out alive,

would you be willing

to see the world with me?

[Do your best to kill demons.]

Fugui.

Fugui.

Fugui.

Fugui.

There's still spiritual blood in you.

Your life

won't end here.

How is this happening?

That's…

the Purest Sun Flame.

He actually mastered it at this moment.

Why does he have a demonic aura?

Oh no.

The Soldier is becoming a demon!

Huaizhu,

are you

protecting them?

Set up the formation!

[Wangquan]

Rise!

Rise!

Release!

The Purest Sun Flame?

That's the Purest Sun Flame of the Dongfang family—

it can refine any magic tool!

We must kill him today!

[Virtues]

Rise!

Wangquan Fugui!

Everyone, step back!

[Virtues]

What are you doing?

Are you going to go on a killing spree?

Look at yourself.

Do you even

see me as your father anymore?

Does Father also believe

that I must die?

[Wangquan]

Father,

I know the disciples all call me the Soldier,

and the way of the Soldier

has been instilled in me.

But I understand your intentions.

Everything you've done

is to make me the strongest swordsman.

It's just a pity that the way of the Soldier

is not the path I seek.

Now,

you can be happy for me

because these past few days,

I've found my own path.

The world does not belong to demons,

nor does it belong to humans.

It belongs to all living beings.

This path contradicts your path.

Therefore, I may have to…

leave you, Father.

Master,

you're just going to let the Soldier leave like that?

It goes against family rules.

[Wangquan]

In the past,

Young Master protected the Yiqi Alliance.

Every one of you owes him your life!

Today, for his own path,

he's been pierced by a thousand swords.

If any of you still have complaints,

come at me instead!

And me!

Wangquan Hongye!

One last thing—

promise me,

if the day comes

when Fugui wants to leave…

let him go.

Although he's on a different path now,

Huaizhu,

our Fugui

has grown up.

The Soldier

has endured a thousand swords piercing his heart.

And he's abandoned the Wangquan Sword.

The one in the Spiritual Stone's prophecy

can't be him!

If any of you are still unconvinced,

then come at me!

[Virtues]

Huaizhu,

Fugui wanted to leave,

and I let him go.

But was this

truly the right choice?
