00:11:07,030 --> 00:11:08,790
The Chaos Pearl is an ancient divine treasure,

192
00:11:08,910 --> 00:11:10,360
holding the power of chaos.

193
00:11:10,550 --> 00:11:12,670
The five sects of the Immortal Alliance guard it closely.

194
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:13,870
Now,

195
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:16,510
it is stored in the Pearl Tower of Snow City.

196
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:18,320
To unlock the Pearl Tower,

197
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:20,120
the tokens of the five sect leaders are required.

198
00:11:20,390 --> 00:11:21,870
You imprisoned Xie Xuechen,

199
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:23,630
wasn't it to force him to reveal

200
00:11:23,670 --> 00:11:25,080
the location of the tokens

201
00:11:25,630 --> 00:11:27,150
and open the tower to retrieve the pearl?

202
00:11:27,750 --> 00:11:28,390
You're smart.

203
00:11:29,150 --> 00:11:30,960
But you've only guessed half of it.

204
00:11:31,670 --> 00:11:33,670
Someone else desires the Chaos Pearl.

205
00:11:34,390 --> 00:11:35,360
Since both sides

206
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:36,910
have something the other wants,

207
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:39,870
it's only natural to exploit that.

208
00:11:42,550 --> 00:11:43,870
When you visited Xie Xuechen,

209
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:46,910
what were you trying to gain?

210
00:11:47,150 --> 00:11:48,630
When I visited Xie Xuechen,

211
00:11:49,390 --> 00:11:50,440
it was, of course, to find out

212
00:11:50,550 --> 00:11:52,000
the location of the tokens

213
00:11:52,270 --> 00:11:53,480
and relieve you of this burden.

214
00:11:54,150 --> 00:11:55,270
So, you're saying

215
00:11:55,670 --> 00:11:56,790
you were gravely injured

216
00:11:57,030 --> 00:11:58,320
while hunting Xie Xuechen

217
00:11:58,550 --> 00:11:59,550
that day.

218
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:01,080
Have you recovered?

219
00:12:04,790 --> 00:12:06,000
Why are you suddenly

220
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:08,150
concerned about me?

221
00:12:10,030 --> 00:12:11,360
Your kindness in raising me

222
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:12,960
is never forgotten.

223
00:12:13,510 --> 00:12:15,030
I've always been thinking

224
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:16,910
of how to repay you.

225
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:53,790
You haven't done anything unnecessary, have you?

226
00:12:56,030 --> 00:12:57,390
Of course not.

227
00:13:00,220 --> 00:13:00,630
Your Grace,

228
00:13:00,790 --> 00:13:01,630
Xie Xuechen is attacking here!

229
00:13:04,270 --> 00:13:05,080
No need for you to act.

230
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:06,720
Focus on your recovery in seclusion.

231
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:08,120
I'll handle him.

232
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:09,840
Go ahead.

233
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:31,960
Jun Tian!

234
00:13:46,870 --> 00:13:47,840
Where is Sang Qi?

235
00:14:01,670 --> 00:14:02,910
It seems we are fated,

236
00:14:03,150 --> 00:14:04,510
meeting again so soon.

237
00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:05,790
It's you.

238
00:14:06,150 --> 00:14:07,840
I'm Mu Xuanling, the Saintess of the Dark Abyss.

239
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:09,440
Young Lord,

240
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:11,030
please guide me well.

241
00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:08,360
Young Lord...

242
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:25,480
Are you looking for me?

243
00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:31,000
Why are you in such a hurry, Young Lord?

244
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:33,030
Could it be that you can't forget

245
00:15:33,630 --> 00:15:34,510
that kiss in the Lava?

246
00:15:39,030 --> 00:15:39,880
You really have no sense

247
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:41,670
of cherishing beauty, do you?

248
00:16:18,900 --> 00:16:21,780
♪Forging a sword with blood to pierce the dark night♪

249
00:16:21,980 --> 00:16:25,140
♪Defying fate, rewriting destiny♪

250
00:16:25,780 --> 00:16:27,260
♪Through fiery resolve♪

251
00:16:27,260 --> 00:16:28,780
♪Cleaving the heavens♪

00:16:28,780 --> 00:16:30,940
♪Unyielding to the storm♪

00:16:31,060 --> 00:16:33,780
♪Bearing the scorching weight of the world♪

254
00:16:34,020 --> 00:16:36,980
♪Risking everything for all beings♪

255
00:16:37,740 --> 00:16:40,780
♪In this moment of rebirth♪

256
00:16:40,820 --> 00:16:45,900
♪Burning through this lifetime's blossoms♪

257
00:16:49,270 --> 00:16:50,390
You shouldn't be here.

258
00:16:54,150 --> 00:16:54,840
If you don't leave,

259
00:16:55,550 --> 00:16:56,720
your spiritual power will run out.

260
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:08,960
This move

261
00:17:09,070 --> 00:17:10,590
seems to resonate with me.

262
00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:12,720
Then, Mr. Xie,

263
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:14,130
why not take me hostage and escape together?

264
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:30,030
They say

265
00:17:30,370 --> 00:17:31,790
one day as a couple means a lifetime of gratitude.

266
00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:34,720
Since I kissed you once,

267
00:17:35,270 --> 00:17:36,310
shouldn't that count

268
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:39,070
for at least ten days of gratitude?

269
00:17:39,620 --> 00:17:40,830
Young Lord,

270
00:17:41,060 --> 00:17:42,640
you show no mercy at all?

271
00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:51,640
What did you feed me in the Lava?

272
00:17:52,510 --> 00:17:54,400
Why do you treat me as an enemy?

273
00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:56,270
To save you,

274
00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:58,480
I even sacrificed my innocence.

275
00:18:02,750 --> 00:18:04,400
At the time, there were enforcers from the Dark Abyss present.

276
00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:06,000
I couldn't explain it to you.

277
00:18:07,310 --> 00:18:08,680
The medicine I fed you

278
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:10,240
is called Half-Day Glory.

279
00:18:11,070 --> 00:18:12,000
After taking it,

280
00:18:12,270 --> 00:18:14,350
you can quickly regain your full strength.

281
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:15,960
But...

282
00:18:16,590 --> 00:18:17,590
it requires

283
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:18,830
a very minor price.

284
00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:19,830
What price?

285
00:18:20,110 --> 00:18:22,030
The effects only last an hour.

286
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:22,830
And now,

287
00:18:23,030 --> 00:18:24,590
it's probably at its limit.

288
00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:25,920
Moreover,

289
00:18:28,350 --> 00:18:29,920
from this moment on,

290
00:18:30,590 --> 00:18:31,880
for the next ten days,

291
00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:33,460
you'll

292
00:18:33,460 --> 00:18:35,240
be completely powerless.

293
00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:37,270
Xie Xuechen!

294
00:18:44,510 --> 00:18:45,440
Xie Xuechen,

295
00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:47,830
now I can finally

296
00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:49,400
kill you myself.

297
00:18:53,070 --> 00:18:53,880
Anger Demon,

298
00:18:54,310 --> 00:18:55,000
stand down.

299
00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:56,110
But...

300
00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:57,720
but I really want

301
00:18:57,720 --> 00:18:58,680
to kill Xie Xuechen!

302
00:19:04,310 --> 00:19:05,720
But I've been taken hostage.

303
00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:07,640
He'll kill me!

304
00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:08,480
So?

305
00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:12,750
Kill!

306
00:19:43,030 --> 00:19:44,110
Mr. Xie,

307
00:19:44,270 --> 00:19:46,000
you can't just use me and abandon me.

308
00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:47,750
How did you...

309
00:19:47,750 --> 00:19:48,510
When you weren't there,

310
00:19:48,830 --> 00:19:50,200
Anger Demon lost his will to fight.

311
00:19:50,590 --> 00:19:51,640
He became easy to deal with.

312
00:19:53,070 --> 00:19:54,200
But...

313
00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:56,000
aren't you curious

314
00:19:56,790 --> 00:19:57,830
how I escaped

315
00:19:57,880 --> 00:19:58,400
from the Array?

316
00:20:04,790 --> 00:20:05,790
In the Lava,

317
00:20:06,750 --> 00:20:08,110
I realized you weren't from the Dark Clan.

318
00:20:09,030 --> 00:20:10,110
The Dark Clan has no heartbeat,

319
00:20:11,110 --> 00:20:11,830
but you do.

320
00:20:12,790 --> 00:20:13,720
You and Sang Qi

321
00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:15,640
are both of the Spirit Clan.

322
00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:19,720
As expected of someone born with an extra sense,

323
00:20:21,270 --> 00:20:22,440
your perception

324
00:20:22,750 --> 00:20:23,480
is extraordinary!

325
00:20:29,790 --> 00:20:31,200
But as the Saintess of the Dark Abyss,

326
00:20:32,110 --> 00:20:32,960
you've also...

327
00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:35,680
committed countless crimes...

328
00:20:38,030 --> 00:20:38,510
Xie Xuechen!

329
00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:39,400
Xie Xuechen!

330
00:20:42,790 --> 00:20:44,310
If you're going to faint, don't do it here.

331
00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:46,200
What if the bad guys catch up?

332
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:47,440
Xie Xuechen!

333
00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:48,000
Bad guys?

334
00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:48,680
Xie Xuechen!

335
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:50,920
- You've got the nerve to call others bad? - Xie Xuechen!

336
00:21:07,830 --> 00:21:08,920
Mr. Xie,

337
00:21:09,030 --> 00:21:10,350
when you were unconscious just now,

338
00:21:10,590 --> 00:21:11,750
you called out my name.

339
00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:15,750
Seems like you just can't forget me.

340
00:21:16,070 --> 00:21:17,720
We've already left the Two Realms Mountain.

341
00:21:18,110 --> 00:21:19,680
I concealed our presence along the way.

342
00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:20,510
No one was following us.

343
00:21:21,270 --> 00:21:23,110
Here, it's just the two of us.

344
00:21:24,110 --> 00:21:25,510
You could shout yourself hoarse,

345
00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:27,350
and no one would come.

346
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:33,160
Why did you save me?

347
00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:35,240
What exactly are you after?

348
00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:37,000
Naturally, it's you.

349
00:21:38,070 --> 00:21:39,070
At first glance in the Lava,

350
00:21:39,790 --> 00:21:41,960
I fell in love with you.

351
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:43,880
So I offered the rarest spiritual essence

352
00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:44,590
to help you escape.

353
00:21:45,460 --> 00:21:47,270
I thought an hour would be enough for you

354
00:21:47,370 --> 00:21:48,770
to leave the Dark Abyss.

355
00:21:50,110 --> 00:21:51,920
Who would've thought you'd act so recklessly,

356
00:21:52,550 --> 00:21:54,160
charging straight into the Temple of Divine Execution.

357
00:21:54,510 --> 00:21:55,440
I had no choice.

358
00:21:55,850 --> 00:21:57,070
I had to play along

359
00:21:57,110 --> 00:21:58,350
as your hostage.

360
00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:02,440
For you,

361
00:22:02,790 --> 00:22:04,640
I've practically betrayed my master and ancestors.

362
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:06,830
The Dark Abyss is no longer an option for me.

363
00:22:08,350 --> 00:22:09,110
From now on,

364
00:22:10,030 --> 00:22:10,830
wherever you go...

365
00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:15,480
I'll follow.

366
00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:20,070
As the Saintess of the Dark Abyss,

367
00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:22,550
how could you betray Sang Qi?

368
00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:24,160
We always act on our own desires,

369
00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:26,030
not on morality.

370
00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:27,720
What is there to betray?

371
00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:33,750
You don't believe me?

372
00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:36,400
Then let me tell you

373
00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:37,510
Sang Qi's plan.

374
00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:42,680
He's collaborating with humans

375
00:22:43,310 --> 00:22:44,720
to obtain the Chaos Pearl.

376
00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:46,550
You are the son of the Immortal Alliance Leader

377
00:22:46,750 --> 00:22:48,310
and the Young Lord of Snow City.

378
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:50,960
He imprisoned and tortured you in the Lava

379
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:52,400
just to wait

380
00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:53,880
until you were at the brink of despair,

381
00:22:54,270 --> 00:22:55,790
so you'd reveal everything to him.

382
00:23:01,110 --> 00:23:02,880
I said he's collaborating with humans.

383
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:05,070
Why aren't you surprised at all?

384
00:23:06,270 --> 00:23:07,200
Do you know

385
00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:09,030
within the Immortal Alliance...

386
00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:09,880
There's a traitor.

387
00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:14,480
So, you already know.

388
00:23:16,030 --> 00:23:16,750
Indeed.

389
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:18,720
The cracks in the Array

390
00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:20,160
needed repairing.

391
00:23:20,270 --> 00:23:21,270
That's something widely known,

392
00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:22,310
not a secret.

393
00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:24,440
But the exact time

394
00:23:24,550 --> 00:23:26,350
for entering the array

395
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:28,270
was only known by the Immortal Alliance.

396
00:23:29,070 --> 00:23:30,720
The timing of Sang Qi's ambush

397
00:23:30,750 --> 00:23:31,880
was too perfect.

398
00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:33,880
You're so clever,

399
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:35,960
so you must have figured it out.

400
00:23:38,030 --> 00:23:39,000
In fact, that day,

401
00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:40,750
if you had abandoned repairing the barrier,

402
00:23:41,830 --> 00:23:43,200
you could've escaped unharmed.

403
00:23:44,030 --> 00:23:45,400
If the barrier broke, so be it.

404
00:23:46,030 --> 00:23:47,200
Just let the Dark Clan

405
00:23:47,310 --> 00:23:48,550
invade the human realm.

406
00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:51,070
Is it really worth risking your life to protect it?

407
00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:53,680
You people from the Dark Abyss

408
00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:55,720
could never understand

409
00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:56,480
the way of the sword cultivator.

410
00:24:00,180 --> 00:24:01,680
Who is Sang Qi collaborating with?

411
00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:03,960
I don't know.

412
00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:07,880
I really don't know.

413
00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:09,200
There's no need to lie to you.

414
00:24:09,830 --> 00:24:11,000
The five Alliance tokens

415
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:12,720
are guarded by the leaders of the five sects.

416
00:24:13,310 --> 00:24:15,110
Having only the one from Snow City

417
00:24:15,310 --> 00:24:16,160
is useless on its own.

418
00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:17,680
So I guess

419
00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:19,550
Sang Qi must have another plan.

420
00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:22,240
You see,

421
00:24:23,310 --> 00:24:24,590
I've never held back

422
00:24:24,830 --> 00:24:26,110
when it comes to the people I like.

423
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:28,510
Whether it should be said or not,

424
00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:30,240
I've told you everything.

425
00:24:33,550 --> 00:24:35,510
This woman's words are half-truths,

426
00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:36,960
and must not be fully trusted.

427
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:44,240
The wounds on my body...

428
00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:46,070
Of course, I treated them for you

429
00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:47,030
and changed your clothes.

430
00:24:48,070 --> 00:24:49,270
Mr. Xie,

431
00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:50,830
you truly are magnificent and extraordinary,

432
00:24:51,110 --> 00:24:52,110
blessed with natural talent.

433
00:25:01,830 --> 00:25:02,640
Let go of me!

434
00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:07,240
Let go of me!

435
00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:10,720
You've lost your spiritual power,

436
00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:12,000
while I have demonic power.

437
00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:14,110
Knowing you can't win, you still fight back.

438
00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:15,440
Are you playing

439
00:25:15,750 --> 00:25:16,880
hard to get?

440
00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:18,240
Let go of me.

441
00:25:18,830 --> 00:25:19,310
Let go?

442
00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:20,640
Where should I let go?

443
00:25:23,510 --> 00:25:24,480
Here?

444
00:25:39,830 --> 00:25:40,680
Madam.

445
00:25:42,260 --> 00:25:43,070
Miss Mu.

446
00:25:43,510 --> 00:25:45,220
I just heard voices

447
00:25:45,220 --> 00:25:46,400
coming from your room

448
00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:48,640
and thought your husband had woken up.

449
00:25:48,830 --> 00:25:49,830
I happened to make some porridge,

450
00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:51,070
so I brought it over.

451
00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:52,310
Thank you, Madam.

452
00:25:52,510 --> 00:25:54,310
It's perfect timing. We're starving.

453
00:25:54,830 --> 00:25:55,830
My husband and I

454
00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:57,550
have really troubled you this time.

455
00:25:58,160 --> 00:25:59,200
No trouble at all!

456
00:25:59,310 --> 00:26:00,200
This is a remote place.

457
00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:01,480
You can recover here

458
00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:02,790
without worrying about enemies catching up.

459
00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:05,030
I heard from my son

460
00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:07,110
that your husband is gravely injured.

461
00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:08,180
You'd better stay here

462
00:26:08,180 --> 00:26:09,110
and recover fully before leaving.

463
00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:10,110
As it happens,

464
00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:11,310
my son knows a bit of medicine

465
00:26:11,790 --> 00:26:13,070
and can help change his bandages.

466
00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:14,480
Thank you.

467
00:26:15,270 --> 00:26:15,960
No need to thank me.

468
00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:17,720
If you need anything, just call me.

469
00:26:17,750 --> 00:26:18,160
Alright.

470
00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:22,440
Ah, youth is such a blessing!

471
00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:24,120
Stop peeking!

472
00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:24,750
What are you peeking at?

473
00:26:24,830 --> 00:26:25,440
Off you go!

474
00:26:32,030 --> 00:26:32,750
Alright.

475
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:34,270
I admit I lied.

476
00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:36,110
I told them

477
00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:37,790
we're a runaway couple.

478
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:39,680
I'm the daughter of a wealthy family,

479
00:26:40,310 --> 00:26:42,000
and you're a down-and-out swordsman.

480
00:26:42,790 --> 00:26:43,270
My family

481
00:26:43,310 --> 00:26:44,520
disapproved of our marriage

482
00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:45,780
and sent people to hunt you down.

483
00:26:46,310 --> 00:26:47,590
That's why they took us in.

484
00:26:48,790 --> 00:26:49,440
Hubby,

485
00:26:50,030 --> 00:26:51,030
do we even look

486
00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:52,030
like a couple?

487
00:26:55,510 --> 00:26:56,640
The one who treated my injuries

488
00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:58,000
was the madam's son.

489
00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:01,200
Yes.

490
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:03,200
I admit I didn't see

491
00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:04,510
your majestic body

492
00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:06,240
or help with your injuries.

493
00:27:06,590 --> 00:27:07,160
And your clothes

494
00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:08,460
were also changed by him, Mr. Hou,

495
00:27:08,460 --> 00:27:09,250
at my request.

496
00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:11,160
The Dark Clan is inherently malicious,

497
00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:13,000
and the Spirit Clan are the best liars.

498
00:27:16,750 --> 00:27:18,200
But there's one thing I said that's true.

499
00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:19,440
Which is?

500
00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:21,750
That I like you.

501
00:27:28,550 --> 00:27:30,160
Now your body is injured,

502
00:27:30,350 --> 00:27:31,240
your spiritual form is damaged,

503
00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:32,790
and you're no different from a mortal.

504
00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:34,550
Eating grains

505
00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:35,880
can help restore your vitality.

506
00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:40,880
The sooner you recover,

507
00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:42,550
the sooner you can get rid of me, right?

508
00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:49,440
Aren't you afraid I poisoned the porridge?

509
00:27:57,960 --> 00:27:59,030
If you wanted to harm me,

510
00:28:00,030 --> 00:28:00,790
why would you save me?

511
00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:04,590
I didn't poison it,

512
00:28:05,830 --> 00:28:06,510
but I did add something.

513
00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:07,310
You...

514
00:28:08,350 --> 00:28:09,160
Relax.

515
00:28:09,510 --> 00:28:10,240
It's a tonic.

516
00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:11,880
Get some proper rest.

517
00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:13,680
It'll be good for your body.

518
00:28:28,020 --> 00:28:28,720
[Ten years ago]

519
00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:29,400
Stealing, are you?

520
00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:30,590
Not working, huh?

521
00:28:32,030 --> 00:28:32,880
I'll beat you to death!

522
00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:43,830
Do you want to come with me?

523
00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:46,640
I'm a spirit slave.

524
00:28:48,030 --> 00:28:50,400
I must follow the steward's orders.

525
00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:52,110
You're no spirit slave.

526
00:28:55,590 --> 00:28:57,310
Why are you so kind to me?

527
00:28:58,480 --> 00:28:59,480
I just want you to be happy.

528
00:29:01,030 --> 00:29:02,880
Could it be...

529
00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:05,070
that you are my long-lost father?

530
00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:05,680
Father!

531
00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:08,000
Don't call me father!

532
00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:10,160
You won't even tell me

533
00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:11,550
your name...

534
00:29:12,830 --> 00:29:13,960
what should I call you, then?

535
00:29:14,350 --> 00:29:15,480
Just don't call me father.

536
00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:16,680
Then...

537
00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:20,270
how about Big Brother?

538
00:29:21,310 --> 00:29:22,110
Big Brother!

539
00:29:24,590 --> 00:29:25,160
Don't be afraid.

540
00:29:26,510 --> 00:29:27,350
Close your eyes.

541
00:29:28,550 --> 00:29:29,880
When you open them again,

542
00:29:30,310 --> 00:29:31,310
everything will be fine.

543
00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:34,720
Good girl.

544
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:35,960
Listen to me.

545
00:29:36,550 --> 00:29:37,000
Quickly...

546
00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:38,920
Quickly unlock the Spirit Lock...

547
00:29:39,110 --> 00:29:40,640
Sang... Sang Qi...

548
00:29:41,350 --> 00:29:42,350
Sang Qi is coming...

549
00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:43,640
Quickly...

550
00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:46,680
Big Brother!

551
00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:50,160
Is it really you?

552
00:29:52,270 --> 00:29:52,920
But...

553
00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:55,370
you're supposed to be dead.

554
00:30:02,100 --> 00:30:05,940
[Void Sea]

555
00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:08,270
In this world,

556
00:30:08,750 --> 00:30:10,640
if people give rise to greed, anger, or ignorance,

557
00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:12,880
inner demons will emerge.

558
00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:14,550
The aura of these inner demons

559
00:30:14,830 --> 00:30:16,350
gathers in the Void Sea

560
00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:18,200
and forms the Dark Clan,

561
00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:19,110
[Desire Demon]

562
00:30:19,110 --> 00:30:20,160
creatures with no blood, no flesh,

563
00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:21,830
[Ignorance Demon]
and no weaknesses.

564
00:30:22,350 --> 00:30:24,880
[Anger Demon]
Even if shattered to dust,

565
00:30:25,110 --> 00:30:26,880
we will eventually return

566
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:28,350
to the Void Sea and be reborn.

567
00:30:28,590 --> 00:30:31,400
Humans' attempt to wipe out the Dark Clan

568
00:30:31,790 --> 00:30:33,480
is pure wishful thinking!

569
00:30:34,270 --> 00:30:36,350
But wishful thinking itself is also an obsession

570
00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:38,640
that can give birth to inner demons.

571
00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:40,790
That's my favorite part.

572
00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:43,750
Anger Demon.

573
00:30:44,590 --> 00:30:45,510
Why aren't you speaking?

574
00:30:47,830 --> 00:30:49,000
I think...

575
00:30:49,510 --> 00:30:50,750
based on my judgment,

576
00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:51,960
the Saintess

577
00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:53,830
must have eloped with Xie Xuechen!

578
00:30:54,270 --> 00:30:54,590
Right.

579
00:30:56,350 --> 00:30:57,160
Ridiculous.

580
00:30:57,640 --> 00:30:58,400
Elope?

581
00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:01,440
Don't you know

582
00:31:02,030 --> 00:31:03,310
what kind of person the Saintess is?

583
00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:06,160
She's nothing but sugar-coated poison.

584
00:31:06,750 --> 00:31:08,720
She'll flatter you on the surface,

585
00:31:09,310 --> 00:31:10,550
then stab you in the back.

586
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:12,830
When has she ever been sincere?

587
00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:14,590
I bet this time too,

588
00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:16,590
she's plotting something in her heart.

589
00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:17,750
Enough.

590
00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:20,590
His Grace ordered us to set up the Demon Array.

591
00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:21,880
Let's begin.

592
00:31:29,550 --> 00:31:30,920
Wherever there are inner demons,

593
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:33,750
they'll serve as our eyes.

594
00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:36,070
Without setting up the array, we didn't realize

595
00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:37,830
how many inner demons

596
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:39,240
were spreading in the world these days.

597
00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:40,070
Humans

598
00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:41,920
are never satisfied.

599
00:31:41,960 --> 00:31:43,270
Their greed knows no bounds.

600
00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:44,680
This Demon Array

601
00:31:45,030 --> 00:31:46,830
will help us find them.

602
00:32:04,590 --> 00:32:05,680
You're hurting me again!

603
00:32:05,790 --> 00:32:06,590
Why are you here again?

604
00:32:10,310 --> 00:32:11,400
We're married.

605
00:32:12,070 --> 00:32:12,640
Doesn't that

606
00:32:12,790 --> 00:32:14,200
just mean sharing a bed?

607
00:32:14,590 --> 00:32:16,240
We could be anything

608
00:32:17,030 --> 00:32:18,350
but never a married couple.

609
00:32:20,310 --> 00:32:21,240
Alright.

610
00:32:26,110 --> 00:32:26,720
You sleep here.

611
00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:27,880
I'll find another spot.

612
00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:29,920
Mr. Xie,

613
00:32:30,790 --> 00:32:31,880
be reasonable!

614
00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:34,830
Let go!

615
00:32:36,270 --> 00:32:37,680
Do you think you can beat me now?

616
00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:46,920
If I really wanted to do something to you,

617
00:32:47,510 --> 00:32:48,440
could you stop me?

618
00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:52,400
Be good.

619
00:32:52,750 --> 00:32:53,680
Lie down and rest.

620
00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:04,030
I know

621
00:33:04,110 --> 00:33:05,720
- No anger... - the way of sword cultivators,

622
00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:07,420
straight, unyielding.

623
00:33:07,680 --> 00:33:08,790
- No anger... - Brave, ever forward.

624
00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:10,740
You were born extraordinary.

625
00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:12,750
I suppose you've never faced such humiliation.

626
00:33:13,550 --> 00:33:14,830
If you submit,

627
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:16,070
it may unsettle your faith.

628
00:33:16,590 --> 00:33:17,680
If you resist to the death,

629
00:33:17,830 --> 00:33:19,030
your dignity might be tarnished.

630
00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:21,070
And in the end, I'd still say

631
00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:22,030
you were playing hard to get,

632
00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:23,550
even more humiliating.

633
00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:25,160
Am I right?

634
00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:32,000
Rest assured,

635
00:33:33,070 --> 00:33:34,350
I won't lay a finger on you.

636
00:34:01,350 --> 00:34:02,240
If I were you,

637
00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:04,160
I wouldn't return to Snow City now.

638
00:34:05,030 --> 00:34:06,480
Whoever leaked your deployment

639
00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:07,590
must hold a high position

640
00:34:07,680 --> 00:34:08,720
in the Immortal Alliance.

641
00:34:10,550 --> 00:34:12,250
With your powers gone,

642
00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:13,360
if you run into them,

643
00:34:13,550 --> 00:34:14,840
you'd stand no chance.

644
00:34:15,070 --> 00:34:17,360
They'd undoubtedly try to kill you.

645
00:34:18,030 --> 00:34:18,880
Xie Xuechen.

646
00:34:19,230 --> 00:34:20,400
Xie Xuechen!

647
00:34:22,440 --> 00:34:23,550
What exactly are you planning?

648
00:34:23,960 --> 00:34:24,920
Do I need to tell you

649
00:34:25,710 --> 00:34:26,880
what I'm planning?

650
00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:28,000
But you,

651
00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:29,280
whatever you're scheming,

652
00:34:30,230 --> 00:34:31,360
I suggest you stop following me.

653
00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:35,190
I know you don't want to travel with me.

654
00:34:35,670 --> 00:34:36,280
But...

655
00:34:36,630 --> 00:34:38,280
can you stop me from following you?

656
00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:40,440
I already said

657
00:34:41,550 --> 00:34:42,360
wherever you go,

658
00:34:43,070 --> 00:34:44,150
I'll follow.

659
00:34:44,440 --> 00:34:45,670
I never agreed to this.

660
00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:49,150
Mr. Xie, you seem to have forgotten

661
00:34:50,190 --> 00:34:51,440
I'm the Saintess of the Dark Abyss,

662
00:34:52,190 --> 00:34:53,480
a villain.

663
00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:55,590
I don't need your agreement.

664
00:34:56,150 --> 00:34:57,760
I know you don't fear death,

665
00:34:58,590 --> 00:35:00,030
but you care about the world

666
00:35:00,670 --> 00:35:01,590
and you want to protect humanity.

667
00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:04,000
As long as I'm willing,

668
00:35:04,710 --> 00:35:06,670
the whole world becomes my hostage.

669
00:35:09,320 --> 00:35:10,280
Back in the Dark Abyss,

670
00:35:11,510 --> 00:35:12,550
I should've killed you.

671
00:35:12,670 --> 00:35:14,000
But you missed your chance.

672
00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:15,400
Now,

673
00:35:15,510 --> 00:35:17,000
you're at my mercy.

674
00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:19,480
Miss Mu!

675
00:35:22,110 --> 00:35:23,000
Mr. Hou.

676
00:35:27,360 --> 00:35:27,960
Miss Mu.

677
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:29,440
Mr. Hou.

678
00:35:30,110 --> 00:35:31,230
Thank you for saving us.

679
00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:32,030
I'll repay this debt

680
00:35:32,670 --> 00:35:33,630
in the future.

681
00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:36,280
No need for that.

682
00:35:36,590 --> 00:35:37,070
Miss Mu,

683
00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:38,150
this place

684
00:35:38,550 --> 00:35:39,960
mostly breeds small ponies.

685
00:35:40,510 --> 00:35:41,320
There's only one fine steed

686
00:35:41,400 --> 00:35:42,280
that can travel hundreds of li a day.

687
00:35:43,150 --> 00:35:44,360
I bought it for you.

688
00:35:44,880 --> 00:35:46,000
But I told the merchant

689
00:35:46,710 --> 00:35:47,670
to let me know

690
00:35:48,070 --> 00:35:48,710
if he gets more good horses.

691
00:35:49,480 --> 00:35:50,320
If you're not in a hurry,

692
00:35:51,110 --> 00:35:52,320
you can wait and stay

693
00:35:52,880 --> 00:35:53,670
a few more days.

694
00:35:56,360 --> 00:35:57,190
Hubby,

695
00:35:57,590 --> 00:35:58,360
what do you think?

696
00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:07,190
Since we're eloping,

697
00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:08,840
we might be pursued.

698
00:36:09,110 --> 00:36:10,710
I'm afraid we'll bring trouble to Mr. Hou and the madam.

699
00:36:11,360 --> 00:36:12,320
So, we can't stay long.

700
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:14,030
There's only one horse,

701
00:36:14,590 --> 00:36:15,400
but it'll do.

702
00:36:16,150 --> 00:36:16,710
Mr. Hou,

703
00:36:17,670 --> 00:36:18,440
thank you for your efforts.

704
00:36:19,230 --> 00:36:19,710
No need to thank me.

705
00:36:20,230 --> 00:36:21,190
It was just a small gesture.

706
00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:24,480
But today, I asked around at the market.

707
00:36:24,880 --> 00:36:25,760
There's no news

708
00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:26,710
of any martial artists nearby.

709
00:36:27,550 --> 00:36:28,320
Our Qingshan Market

710
00:36:28,590 --> 00:36:29,590
rarely sees outsiders.

711
00:36:30,150 --> 00:36:31,030
If any martial artists came,

712
00:36:31,480 --> 00:36:32,230
someone would've known about it.

713
00:36:34,070 --> 00:36:34,960
Miss Mu,

714
00:36:35,670 --> 00:36:36,670
your family

715
00:36:36,760 --> 00:36:38,710
probably doesn't know you're here.

716
00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:40,800
You can relax.

717
00:36:41,110 --> 00:36:41,840
There's no need to rush off.

718
00:36:42,190 --> 00:36:43,670
Staying a few more days wouldn't hurt.

719
00:36:45,480 --> 00:36:46,920
If my husband says we should leave,

720
00:36:47,230 --> 00:36:49,360
then of course I'll follow his lead.

721
00:36:51,590 --> 00:36:52,360
Mr. Hou,

722
00:36:53,360 --> 00:36:54,800
we have no gold or silver.

723
00:36:55,280 --> 00:36:57,110
Take this hairpin as a small token of gratitude.

724
00:36:57,400 --> 00:36:58,000
Thank you for your trouble.

725
00:36:58,070 --> 00:36:58,480
Oh...

726
00:36:59,670 --> 00:37:00,760
this is too much!

727
00:37:03,030 --> 00:37:04,280
Just take it on the madam's behalf.

728
00:37:04,710 --> 00:37:05,440
Thank her for me.

729
00:37:16,480 --> 00:37:17,550
Miss Mu...

730
00:37:28,070 --> 00:37:28,960
We've found you.

731
00:37:29,710 --> 00:37:30,400
Desire Demon!

732
00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:51,000
You set up the Demon Array.

733
00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:53,510
This Mr. Hou of yours

734
00:37:53,960 --> 00:37:55,480
has developed a desire for you.

735
00:37:55,670 --> 00:37:57,000
Knowing it's out of reach,

736
00:37:57,230 --> 00:37:58,710
yet unwilling to let go,

737
00:37:59,150 --> 00:37:59,920
this has given birth

738
00:38:00,150 --> 00:38:01,800
to an inner demon.

739
00:38:02,480 --> 00:38:04,030
And once there's an inner demon,

740
00:38:04,590 --> 00:38:05,880
it can be controlled.

741
00:38:07,840 --> 00:38:08,880
So, are you blaming me

742
00:38:09,670 --> 00:38:11,000
for being too charming?

743
00:38:12,070 --> 00:38:12,960
But...

744
00:38:14,710 --> 00:38:15,960
how did you get out?

745
00:38:16,230 --> 00:38:17,110
She's using the Illusion Elixir.

746
00:38:17,880 --> 00:38:18,960
This isn't her true form.

747
00:38:20,670 --> 00:38:21,590
It's a projection.

748
00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:29,110
During the battle at the Immortals Array,

749
00:38:29,840 --> 00:38:31,030
we were so focused on fighting

750
00:38:31,480 --> 00:38:33,190
that we didn't get a good look

751
00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:34,960
at Mr. Xie's appearance.

752
00:38:35,630 --> 00:38:36,710
Now that I see you today,

753
00:38:37,150 --> 00:38:38,230
Anger Demon was right

754
00:38:38,800 --> 00:38:40,440
and you are quite good-looking.

755
00:38:41,480 --> 00:38:42,630
Fighting is exhausting.

756
00:38:43,400 --> 00:38:44,960
Be good and come back to the Dark Abyss with me.

757
00:38:47,840 --> 00:38:49,000
He's mine.

758
00:38:51,150 --> 00:38:52,110
Oh, really?

759
00:39:05,880 --> 00:39:06,360
This is bad.

760
00:39:07,070 --> 00:39:08,230
It's Desire Demon's Cage of Greed.

761
00:39:16,960 --> 00:39:18,280
Though Desire Demon isn't as skilled in combat as Anger Demon,

762
00:39:18,880 --> 00:39:19,840
she's extremely troublesome.

763
00:39:20,550 --> 00:39:21,360
This Cage of Greed

764
00:39:21,800 --> 00:39:22,690
traps people

765
00:39:22,690 --> 00:39:23,400
in their desires,

766
00:39:23,640 --> 00:39:24,880
leading them to die in bliss.

767
00:39:25,550 --> 00:39:26,030
Xie Xuechen,

768
00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:26,670
you...

769
00:39:27,030 --> 00:39:27,480
Be careful!

770
00:39:33,590 --> 00:39:34,230
Xie Xuechen,

771
00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:36,110
my chest hurts so much...

772
00:39:36,960 --> 00:39:37,800
Can you check it for me?

773
00:39:43,590 --> 00:39:45,240
You truly live up to the name

774
00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:46,960
of the strongest sword cultivator in the world.

775
00:39:49,920 --> 00:39:50,590
What's wrong?

776
00:39:51,590 --> 00:39:53,000
Did I fail

777
00:39:53,230 --> 00:39:54,510
to imitate the Saintess convincingly?

778
00:39:55,030 --> 00:39:56,230
Or do you simply dislike her?

779
00:39:59,150 --> 00:40:00,320
The Dark Clan has no heartbeat.

780
00:40:01,280 --> 00:40:02,320
The one who was struck by the arrow

781
00:40:02,320 --> 00:40:03,590
was indeed Mu Xuanling.

782
00:40:03,880 --> 00:40:04,960
But at the moment she fell,

783
00:40:06,230 --> 00:40:07,360
it was already you.

784
00:40:08,480 --> 00:40:09,920
I was careless.

785
00:40:10,440 --> 00:40:12,150
I forgot that you have

786
00:40:12,590 --> 00:40:13,960
extraordinary perception.

787
00:40:14,360 --> 00:40:16,630
Just relying on this substitution trick

788
00:40:16,800 --> 00:40:18,320
can't fool you.

789
00:40:19,230 --> 00:40:20,280
Had I known earlier,

790
00:40:20,880 --> 00:40:22,880
I would've taken a human heart to use instead.

791
00:40:23,110 --> 00:40:24,670
Such a misstep!

792
00:40:25,110 --> 00:40:26,710
The hardest thing for people to overcome

793
00:40:27,030 --> 00:40:28,670
is their own desires.

794
00:40:29,440 --> 00:40:30,670
No matter how strong you are,

795
00:40:30,880 --> 00:40:32,070
you won't escape.

796
00:40:35,760 --> 00:40:37,110
Mr. Xie,

797
00:40:37,960 --> 00:40:39,550
before you die,

798
00:40:39,960 --> 00:40:43,670
enjoy this worldly bliss.

799
00:40:43,920 --> 00:40:44,920
Meow, where are you?

800
00:40:45,920 --> 00:40:46,440
Meow!

801
00:40:55,510 --> 00:40:56,360
Where is Xie Xuechen?

802
00:40:56,800 --> 00:40:58,590
The Saintess of the Dark Abyss,

803
00:40:59,440 --> 00:41:01,440
throwing herself in front of an arrow for a man?

804
00:41:02,110 --> 00:41:03,510
You protect him so much.

805
00:41:04,190 --> 00:41:05,110
Could it be

806
00:41:05,480 --> 00:41:06,800
that Anger Demon was right?

807
00:41:07,920 --> 00:41:09,960
Have you really fallen for Xie Xuechen

808
00:41:11,190 --> 00:41:12,710
and plan to betray the Dark Abyss?

809
00:41:19,670 --> 00:41:20,550
What do you think?

810
00:41:20,760 --> 00:41:22,590
I think it's unlike you.

811
00:41:22,880 --> 00:41:23,840
That's why I'm standing here

812
00:41:23,880 --> 00:41:24,800
talking to you.

813
00:41:26,230 --> 00:41:27,070
Otherwise,

814
00:41:27,880 --> 00:41:29,150
I would've already taken

815
00:41:29,190 --> 00:41:30,320
both of your heads back

816
00:41:30,840 --> 00:41:32,440
to report to His Grace.

817
00:41:36,320 --> 00:41:37,800
Report to Master?

818
00:41:39,920 --> 00:41:40,960
Why don't you use that brain

819
00:41:40,960 --> 00:41:42,760
that you hardly ever use?

820
00:41:43,110 --> 00:41:44,630
If Master hadn't allowed it,

821
00:41:45,320 --> 00:41:46,320
how could I so easily

822
00:41:46,360 --> 00:41:48,030
take Xie Xuechen out of the Dark Abyss?

823
00:41:50,960 --> 00:41:51,760
What do you mean?

824
00:41:52,360 --> 00:41:53,320
How do you think Xie Xuechen

825
00:41:53,320 --> 00:41:54,670
escaped the Lava Execution Ground?

826
00:41:57,000 --> 00:41:58,840
Naturally, someone helped him.

827
00:42:02,280 --> 00:42:03,030
The Lava

828
00:42:03,400 --> 00:42:05,070
is guarded by eighteen layers of restrictions.

829
00:42:06,280 --> 00:42:07,400
How could you possibly

830
00:42:07,480 --> 00:42:08,630
have the ability to break them?

831
00:42:08,960 --> 00:42:10,150
I don't have that ability.

832
00:42:10,880 --> 00:42:12,590
It was Xie Xuechen himself who broke them.

833
00:42:13,670 --> 00:42:14,280
I merely

834
00:42:15,030 --> 00:42:16,230
gave him an elixir

835
00:42:16,230 --> 00:42:17,920
to restore his strength.

836
00:42:19,920 --> 00:42:20,800
Think about it.

837
00:42:21,800 --> 00:42:23,320
How could I obtain

838
00:42:23,920 --> 00:42:25,150
such a rare elixir?

839
00:42:32,920 --> 00:42:34,480
It was given to you by His Grace?

840
00:42:35,030 --> 00:42:37,070
Master instructed me to let him go.

841
00:42:38,190 --> 00:42:39,150
That way,

842
00:42:39,800 --> 00:42:41,510
I'd owe him his life,

843
00:42:41,840 --> 00:42:43,590
allowing me to stay by his side

844
00:42:44,480 --> 00:42:46,400
and wait for the chance to seize the tokens.
