Lei!

00:01:52,230 --> 00:01:53,540
Lifei, you've worked so hard.

8
00:01:54,510 --> 00:01:56,410
Only you from Zhuiyu Peak have made it to the top eight.

9
00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:57,490
I owe it

10
00:01:57,510 --> 00:01:59,460
to you all for cheering me on

11
00:02:00,590 --> 00:02:02,690

12
00:02:03,950 --> 00:02:05,050
Good.

Your opponent, Tang De,

15
00:02:10,150 --> 00:02:11,660
is the best of Wengu Peak.

Yue has seniority and strong cultivation,

84
00:06:47,070 --> 00:06:48,140
plus she's not scared of bugs.

You want to win the tournament, right?

91
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:10,050
Since you're in the semi-finals,

92
00:07:10,510 --> 00:07:12,100
give it your all tomorrow.

93
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:15,930
Are you going to teach me advanced spirit arts?

94
00:07:22,830 --> 00:07:24,170
Hold your breath, and close your eyes.

95
00:07:25,750 --> 00:07:26,370
Close your eyes.

96
00:07:34,750 --> 00:07:35,610
Try to accept me

97
00:07:36,390 --> 00:07:37,340
and merge our spirit energy.

98
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:41,850
This isn't proper.

99
00:07:43,510 --> 00:07:44,610
Don't you want to win?

100
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:46,100
Merging our spirit energy

101
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:47,980
is the fastest way to boost your power.

102
00:07:49,190 --> 00:07:51,170
But only cultivation partners do this.

103
00:07:51,630 --> 00:07:52,850
I read about it in storybooks.

104
00:07:53,190 --> 00:07:53,980
Merging spirit energy means

105
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:55,660
giving your whole heart and soul.

106
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:56,930

108
00:07:59,830 --> 00:08:00,850

109
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:04,020
I have

110
00:08:04,430 --> 00:08:06,250
liked you all along.

111
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:09,490
Will you be my cultivation partner?

112
00:08:09,950 --> 00:08:10,930
Wait.

113
00:08:11,510 --> 00:08:12,730
I don't feel that way about you.

114
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:17,610
Is there something wrong with me?

115
00:08:17,950 --> 00:08:20,290
No. You're perfect in every way.

116
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:23,930
It's me who's unworthy.

117
00:08:24,310 --> 00:08:26,410
With weak spirit power, I just joined the sect,

118
00:08:26,750 --> 00:08:28,980
and I'm not romantic at all, so I'm not the one for you.

119
00:08:30,270 --> 00:08:31,290
You're overthinking.

120
00:08:31,870 --> 00:08:32,930
I believe we're a perfect match.

121
00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:35,050
I don't think so.

122
00:08:38,510 --> 00:08:40,420
I'm returning this flying ribbon.

123
00:08:40,670 --> 00:08:41,580
Give it to a stronger,

124

125
00:08:43,030 --> 00:08:46,010
Lifei, I truly like you.

126
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:48,460
Will you give me a chance?

127
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:51,420
Let me help you win the tournament first,

128
00:08:51,750 --> 00:08:52,250
alright?

129
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:55,980
No need. I want to win,

130
00:08:56,790 --> 00:08:57,850
but I'll never act against my heart.

131
00:08:59,200 --> 00:08:59,850
See you.

132
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:04,820

133
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:20,770
Who's there?

134
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:27,890
Lei Xiuyuan.

135
00:09:29,790 --> 00:09:32,850
Qin, what's wrong now?

136
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:35,700
I wanted to chat with her a little longer.

137
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:37,130
Stay out of this.

138
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:38,340
Qin,

139
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:42,100
I've said all I need to.

140
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:43,580
There's nothing more.

141
00:09:46,270 --> 00:09:47,060
Let me send you back.

142
00:09:49,150 --> 00:09:49,650
No need.

143
00:10:12,510 --> 00:10:14,180
What rotten luck!

144
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:16,460
My last-minute plan failed again.

145
00:10:23,030 --> 00:10:24,370
Lei Xiuyuan, come out!

146
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:38,730
You are too weak to protect yourself,

147
00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:40,250
yet you trust others blindly.

148
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:42,490
My worst mistake was trusting you above all else.

149
00:10:42,910 --> 00:10:43,580
You'd better

150
00:10:44,150 --> 00:10:44,890
forfeit tomorrow's duel.

151
00:10:46,790 --> 00:10:47,250
Again.

152
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:48,820
You've lost.

153
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:54,300
I haven't fallen, so I haven't lost.

154
00:10:54,870 --> 00:10:55,300
Again.

155
00:10:57,120 --> 00:10:58,010
The fight isn't over yet.

156
00:11:05,510 --> 00:11:07,700
Chiyan Stone of Xingzheng Hall.

157
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:09,490
Lifei,

158
00:11:10,150 --> 00:11:12,100
I heard Wuyue Court is holding a tournament.

159
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:15,100
This stone can summon a fire wall

160
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:17,580
to block a fatal blow. It may help you.

161
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:21,850
Thank you, Tongzhou.

162
00:11:26,910 --> 00:11:27,810
Senior Sister, you'll win.

163
00:11:27,830 --> 00:11:29,140
Yeah, we believe in you!

164
00:11:32,430 --> 00:11:33,090
Place your bets!

165
00:11:33,110 --> 00:11:34,380
Lifei, listen to me.

166
00:11:34,560 --> 00:11:35,780
First, the Monkey Steals Peach trick.

167
00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:38,860
Does anyone want to place a bet?

168
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:39,650
It'll work.

169
00:11:40,150 --> 00:11:41,090
Do what I said.

170
00:11:41,110 --> 00:11:42,220
That's such a dirty move!

171
00:11:43,630 --> 00:11:44,180
Lifei.

172
00:11:44,590 --> 00:11:45,660
Just do as we said.

173
00:11:45,660 --> 00:11:46,500
Lifei.

174
00:11:48,630 --> 00:11:49,250
You know what?

175
00:11:49,660 --> 00:11:51,250
I cast my fortune today.

176
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:54,020
It said I'd have great windfall luck.

177
00:11:54,270 --> 00:11:55,700
Then I thought and realized

178
00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:59,450
you're the biggest underdog here.

179
00:12:00,430 --> 00:12:01,340
As the saying goes,

180
00:12:01,510 --> 00:12:04,060
the ignorant fears nothing; the shameless prevails.

181
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:05,340
So

182
00:12:07,150 --> 00:12:08,300
I set up

183
00:12:08,510 --> 00:12:09,900
this betting pool

184
00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:12,530
for your duel against Yue.

185
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:15,620
Anyone want to join?

186
00:12:15,660 --> 00:12:16,340
What are the odds?

187
00:12:16,870 --> 00:12:18,900
One to one if you bet on Yue.

188
00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:21,300
One to fifty if you bet on Lifei to win.

189
00:12:21,830 --> 00:12:22,410
Come on.

190
00:12:22,430 --> 00:12:24,450
Hey, you there, want to join?

191
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:26,020
Come on.

192
00:12:26,150 --> 00:12:27,260
Count me in!

193
00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:28,850
- I'll bet on Yue. - Me too!

194
00:12:29,230 --> 00:12:30,100
Let me have a look.

195
00:12:30,790 --> 00:12:32,060
Alright, put them here.

196
00:12:33,310 --> 00:12:34,060
Who're you betting on?

197
00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:35,570
- Okay. - Wait.

198
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:37,900
Hardly anyone bet on me winning.

199
00:12:39,390 --> 00:12:40,540
Don't look down on it.

200
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:42,370
I bet everything on you.

201
00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:43,540
Fight well, Lifei.

202
00:12:43,950 --> 00:12:45,620
You're my ticket to wealth!

203
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:47,740
All bets placed.

204
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:48,900
Let's watch the duel.

205
00:12:49,150 --> 00:12:50,130
- Okay. - Go for it!

206
00:12:50,590 --> 00:12:52,770
- I'm rooting for you, Lifei. - Go for it!

207
00:13:01,390 --> 00:13:02,180
Yue.

208
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:06,980
Lifei,

209
00:13:08,030 --> 00:13:09,700
I won't hold back.

210
00:13:13,390 --> 00:13:13,900
Begin.

211
00:13:56,880 --> 00:13:58,250
The identical moves.

212
00:14:17,670 --> 00:14:18,530
Her zither strings snapped.

213
00:14:18,950 --> 00:14:21,020
- What to do? - What's going on?

214
00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:25,460
He even taught you the metal technique?

215
00:15:38,950 --> 00:15:39,580
I'm lost.

216
00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:47,490
Incredible!

217
00:15:49,510 --> 00:15:50,540
Great!

218
00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:53,690
Well done, Lifei!

219
00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:57,450
- Impressive. - Unbelievable win!

220
00:16:46,150 --> 00:16:48,770
Let go! Let go of her!

221
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:52,370
Boy, focus on your duel.

222
00:16:52,390 --> 00:16:53,100
You're holding on so tight.

223
00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:54,250
Let's go.

224
00:17:26,830 --> 00:17:29,380
Lei, I won't hold back.

225
00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:59,490
Lei Xiuyuan is fearless like a new calf.

226
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:01,900
He fought Qin to a draw.

227
00:18:02,070 --> 00:18:03,940
Promising youth.

228
00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:25,980
Cuixuan, you care so deeply for Qin

229
00:18:26,350 --> 00:18:29,050
that you even passed down the Yin-Yang Tribulation Mirror to him.

230
00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:02,460
Lei,

231
00:19:03,790 --> 00:19:04,810
you're too green.

232
00:19:07,510 --> 00:19:10,050
Surrender now, and I'll stop.

233
00:19:31,550 --> 00:19:32,380
Just surrender.

234
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:37,900
Take my advice:

235
00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:39,180
The higher you hold your head,

236
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:41,420
the harder you'll fall.

237
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:47,860
You're not worthy to beat me.

238
00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:51,700
Stay away from Jiang Lifei from now on.

239
00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:55,050
That Longyuan Sword

240
00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:57,940
was left for you by the former sect leader.

241
00:19:58,920 --> 00:19:59,570
Guangwei,

242
00:20:00,500 --> 00:20:03,140
you truly look out for Lei.

243
00:20:23,310 --> 00:20:27,090
Great!

244
00:20:27,110 --> 00:20:30,620
Dragon Roars Across the Sky, the sixth-level art.

245
00:20:31,460 --> 00:20:32,090
Guangwei,

246
00:20:32,350 --> 00:20:34,770
you've hidden him too well.

247
00:20:36,590 --> 00:20:38,570
This is the real combat.

248
00:21:08,750 --> 00:21:11,730
Lei Xiuyuan of Yaoguang Peak wins.

249
00:21:20,660 --> 00:21:21,730
Jiang Lifei

250
00:21:22,510 --> 00:21:25,010
versus Lei Xiuyuan in two hours.

251
00:21:37,270 --> 00:21:40,180
I'm too gravely injured to fight the final.

252
00:21:42,420 --> 00:21:43,570
I will forfeit.

253
00:21:45,740 --> 00:21:46,050
What?

254
00:21:47,460 --> 00:21:49,010
- Why? - How can he just give up?

255
00:21:49,030 --> 00:21:49,620
Yeah.

256
00:21:49,940 --> 00:21:51,460
- What's going on? - He fears?

257
00:21:51,790 --> 00:21:52,940
I can't understand.

258
00:21:53,590 --> 00:21:54,620
Is he forfeiting?

259
00:21:55,030 --> 00:21:56,490
Does that mean...?

260
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:02,940
- Is that allowed? - I want to ask the same.

261
00:22:03,900 --> 00:22:04,570
Why?

262
00:22:05,830 --> 00:22:06,490
Yue, please help me.

263
00:22:12,110 --> 00:22:12,730
Let's go.

264
00:22:32,310 --> 00:22:34,090
You won!

265
00:22:34,220 --> 00:22:36,620
- Lifei, you won. - We won!

266
00:22:37,020 --> 00:22:39,220
Thanks to you, we're rich now!

267
00:22:39,510 --> 00:22:40,220
We won.

268
00:22:45,900 --> 00:22:47,620
- We won! - Great!

269
00:23:01,110 --> 00:23:01,770
Be careful.

270
00:23:06,660 --> 00:23:07,010
Sit down.

271
00:23:14,020 --> 00:23:15,050
Let me treat your wounds first.

272
00:23:25,460 --> 00:23:26,730
You lied. You still have strength left.

273
00:23:28,350 --> 00:23:29,180
You let Jiang

274
00:23:29,220 --> 00:23:30,570
take first place on purpose.

275
00:23:31,420 --> 00:23:33,090
Thankfully, this was only a duel.

276
00:23:33,700 --> 00:23:34,860
If it were a life-or-death battle,

277
00:23:34,900 --> 00:23:36,660
you'd have sacrificed yourself for her!

278
00:23:37,310 --> 00:23:39,940
Yeah. It's just a duel anyway.

279
00:23:41,500 --> 00:23:43,220
Why did you intend to kill her?

280
00:23:44,030 --> 00:23:44,570
I...

281
00:23:48,030 --> 00:23:49,620
If I wanted her dead,

282
00:23:50,420 --> 00:23:51,810
do you think a mere Chiyan Stone

283
00:23:51,830 --> 00:23:52,900
could stop me?

284
00:23:56,460 --> 00:23:56,980
Truth is,

285
00:24:00,220 --> 00:24:02,730
I could kill her anytime.

286
00:24:07,830 --> 00:24:08,660
I dare you!

287
00:24:16,110 --> 00:24:19,290
I told you your talent is unmatched.

288
00:24:19,940 --> 00:24:21,420
You could become an immortal

289
00:24:21,590 --> 00:24:22,730
or a sect leader,

290
00:24:23,220 --> 00:24:24,660
bound for greatness.

291
00:24:25,220 --> 00:24:26,770
Our master holds high hopes...

292
00:24:26,790 --> 00:24:27,980
My plans are none of your business.

293
00:24:31,220 --> 00:24:34,290
You've crossed the line time and again.

294
00:24:35,750 --> 00:24:37,570
What do you want from me?

295
00:24:41,740 --> 00:24:42,980
What do I want?

296
00:24:47,180 --> 00:24:48,290
Have you forgotten?

297
00:24:51,030 --> 00:24:53,010
I'd lay down my life for you.

298
00:24:54,260 --> 00:24:58,090
My clan's fate rests with My Lord.

299
00:24:58,550 --> 00:25:01,490
I'd die without regret.

300
00:25:07,830 --> 00:25:08,490
Whoever you truly are,

301
00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:11,140
I joined Wuyue Court for only one person.

302
00:25:12,070 --> 00:25:13,010
Nothing else matters.

303
00:25:14,510 --> 00:25:17,530
Please stay away from me from now on.

304
00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:38,380
Master.

305
00:25:46,030 --> 00:25:49,010
Well, well.

306
00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:52,620
You pleaded severe injuries to withdraw,

307
00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:56,700
so I shall indulge your request.

308
00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:00,290
Master.

309
00:26:02,750 --> 00:26:05,770
You reckless boy! I told you repeatedly

310
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:06,860
to stand out

311
00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:08,860
among Wuyue Court's young disciples.

312
00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:10,730
Yet you acted foolishly

313
00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:12,860
and recklessly, all for a girl.

314
00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:20,380
Since you remain stubborn,

315
00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:22,730
I'll cripple your spirit root

316
00:26:23,350 --> 00:26:26,220
to stop you from going astray and endangering the sect.

317
00:26:37,270 --> 00:26:39,460
Master, he's young and impulsive.

318
00:26:39,510 --> 00:26:41,050
He merely lost his sense for a while.

319
00:26:41,590 --> 00:26:42,810
Please spare him.

320
00:26:43,350 --> 00:26:44,940
I'll guide him well.

321
00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:51,570
Master.

322
00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:56,770
I'll grant you one last chance.

323
00:26:57,590 --> 00:26:59,940
I'll show no mercy if you stay obsessed.

324
00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:08,900
Stand up.

325
00:27:14,590 --> 00:27:17,220
Is Jiang Lifei worth all this?

326
00:27:22,750 --> 00:27:23,700
Wake up.

327
00:27:24,110 --> 00:27:26,010
She's your destined tribulation.

328
00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:29,530
Conduct yourself wisely.

329
00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:47,660
Enter the Achillea Bead.

330
00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:30,940
I wonder where my master is

331
00:28:31,510 --> 00:28:32,490
and if he's safe.

332
00:29:24,790 --> 00:29:25,420
Wait.

333
00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:26,530
Cuixuan.

334
00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:30,940
What are you doing?

335
00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:33,810
The Achillea Bead is a rare treasure.

336
00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:37,380
It dissolved instantly, pouring all its spirit energy into her.

337
00:29:37,510 --> 00:29:38,660
That's strange.

338
00:29:39,790 --> 00:29:41,860
Jiang Lifei must be suspicious.

339
00:29:42,830 --> 00:29:44,660
What's suspicious about it?

340
00:29:44,750 --> 00:29:46,290
She shares fate with it,

341
00:29:46,310 --> 00:29:47,570
and it chose to gift her energy freely.

342
00:29:47,590 --> 00:29:48,730
What's the problem?

343
00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:51,050
No such occurrence

344
00:29:51,070 --> 00:29:53,010
has happened in centuries.

345
00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:56,010
Luck alone can't explain this.

346
00:30:01,070 --> 00:30:01,700
Cuixuan,

347
00:30:03,110 --> 00:30:04,180
I brought her

348
00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:06,660
to Wuyue Court long ago.

349
00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:08,860
She bears a unique, spirit-attracting physique

350
00:30:09,590 --> 00:30:11,180
that caused

351
00:30:11,510 --> 00:30:13,290
the Achillea's strange reaction.

352
00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:16,620
Spirit-attracting?

353
00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:24,420
I've been weak since childhood,

354
00:30:25,510 --> 00:30:28,220
and the spirits always come to me.

355
00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:29,490
It's not my fault.

356
00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:35,290
Blame me for this.

357
00:30:35,510 --> 00:30:37,050
I'll fetch a protective talisman

358
00:30:37,070 --> 00:30:37,810
for you right now.

359
00:30:38,030 --> 00:30:38,420
Let's go.

360
00:30:38,830 --> 00:30:40,420
The Achillea's chaotic power

361
00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:44,090
floods Lifei all at once.

362
00:30:44,310 --> 00:30:45,900
I'm afraid her meridians can't bear it.

363
00:30:46,830 --> 00:30:49,660
I'll take you back to Cuihua Peak

364
00:30:49,790 --> 00:30:52,010
to stabilize your cultivation.

365
00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:53,570
Don't bother

366
00:30:53,790 --> 00:30:55,140
with this trivial thing.

367
00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:56,530
I can handle this myself.

368
00:30:57,440 --> 00:30:59,250
The tournament is over,

369
00:30:59,270 --> 00:31:00,330
so we'll take our leave.

370
00:31:01,270 --> 00:31:03,700
Farewell, everyone!

371
00:31:04,070 --> 00:31:05,330
Zhuiyu Peak, go!

372
00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:07,290
Go.

373
00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:09,980
Disciples of Zhuiyu Peak, let's go.

374
00:31:10,510 --> 00:31:11,010
Go.

375
00:31:11,350 --> 00:31:12,220
Go.

376
00:31:29,350 --> 00:31:30,090
Focus your mind,

377
00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:33,180
channel energy,

378
00:31:35,590 --> 00:31:36,180
and strike once.

00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:39,530
This...

380
00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:51,980
Just as I thought.

00:31:52,550 --> 00:31:54,330
The thousand-year-old Achillea's

382
00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:56,330
spirit energy in your body

383
00:31:56,590 --> 00:31:59,180
has boosted your power

384
00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:01,010
to at least the fourth level.

385
00:32:01,790 --> 00:32:03,330
Am I strong now?

386
00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:04,530
Come here.

387
00:32:08,030 --> 00:32:09,490
Don't get carried away.

388
00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:12,570
You think more spirit power is something to rejoice in?

389
00:32:13,270 --> 00:32:16,460
Unregulated surging power will devour you.

390
00:32:16,790 --> 00:32:19,460
Now you need to practice hard

391
00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:21,090
to master and integrate it

392
00:32:21,110 --> 00:32:23,140
before you wield it freely.

393
00:32:23,830 --> 00:32:25,290
Now, understand?

394
00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:27,330
Thought I'd gotten free luck.

395
00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:29,770
This power is too risky to wield.

396
00:32:32,350 --> 00:32:34,620
Lifei, what did you see

397
00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:35,660
in the illusion?

398
00:32:37,310 --> 00:32:38,220
Nothing yet

399
00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:40,220
before Elder Cuixuan attacked.

400
00:32:40,550 --> 00:32:41,730
So petty

401
00:32:41,960 --> 00:32:43,050
over a little spirit energy.

402
00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:47,180
Don't be ungrateful.

403
00:32:47,590 --> 00:32:48,770
A little?

404
00:32:49,030 --> 00:32:50,010
You drained

405
00:32:50,030 --> 00:32:51,660
the spirit plant completely.

406
00:32:51,790 --> 00:32:53,490
I felt embarrassed for you.

407
00:32:54,110 --> 00:32:55,900
I didn't mean to.

408
00:32:57,240 --> 00:32:59,290
Stay

409
00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:00,490
on the peak lately.

410
00:33:00,550 --> 00:33:01,660
Don't wander off.

411
00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:08,860
And never cross Elder Cuixuan.

412
00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:14,140
Master, head back and wait for dinner.

413
00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:16,810
Are you cooking?

414
00:33:16,880 --> 00:33:17,700
Of course.

415
00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:21,730
Off you go.

416
00:33:57,000 --> 00:33:57,810
Master!

417
00:34:09,440 --> 00:34:09,980
Ma...

418
00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:27,570
Better check it out,

419
00:34:28,510 --> 00:34:29,900
or I'll keep worrying.

420
00:34:49,960 --> 00:34:50,860
There's a restriction spell.

421
00:36:16,190 --> 00:36:16,900
Come with me.

422
00:36:57,280 --> 00:36:58,210
Don't act on your own again.

00:37:33,920 --> 00:37:35,820
Demonic energy leakage in Lilie Valley.

424
00:37:53,280 --> 00:37:56,380
How crafty! Thanks to the demonic energy,

425
00:37:57,190 --> 00:37:58,490
or we'd be caught.

426
00:38:02,630 --> 00:38:03,380
I haven't asked.

427
00:38:05,110 --> 00:38:05,860
What are you doing here?

428
00:38:06,480 --> 00:38:07,090
Stalking me?

429
00:38:08,800 --> 00:38:10,380
You just absorbed energy from the Achillea Bead.

430
00:38:11,110 --> 00:38:12,260
I worried you'd feel unwell.

431
00:38:17,360 --> 00:38:18,380
Cuixuan is so upset.

432
00:38:19,150 --> 00:38:20,780
There must be a secret hidden on Hushe Peak.

433
00:38:21,360 --> 00:38:22,050
Head back to your peak.

434
00:38:22,510 --> 00:38:23,130
Keep quiet.

435
00:38:23,630 --> 00:38:24,530
Don't alert them.

436
00:38:25,280 --> 00:38:26,420
Stay out of my business,

437
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:27,610
understand?

438
00:38:41,760 --> 00:38:42,570
For the Vermilion Fruit,

439
00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:44,900
the tournament,

440
00:38:45,960 --> 00:38:46,820
and what happened today,

441
00:38:51,190 --> 00:38:51,860
thank you.

442
00:38:54,400 --> 00:38:55,380
I'll remember all of this

443
00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:56,210
and repay you someday.

444
00:39:12,590 --> 00:39:14,650
Lilie Valley is our sect's forbidden area.

445
00:39:15,280 --> 00:39:16,780
Sealed jointly by past elders,

446
00:39:16,960 --> 00:39:17,860
it's impenetrable.

447
00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:21,130
It's stayed safe for centuries.

448
00:39:21,840 --> 00:39:23,300
Why is there demonic energy leakage?

449
00:39:23,710 --> 00:39:26,940
Perhaps the demons trapped inside linger,

450
00:39:27,670 --> 00:39:29,050
struggling in their last gasp.

451
00:39:30,960 --> 00:39:32,690
The valley lacks spirit energy,

452
00:39:32,760 --> 00:39:34,210
and they've been bound for five centuries.

453
00:39:34,590 --> 00:39:35,460
Even alive,

454
00:39:35,920 --> 00:39:37,380
they're crippled

455
00:39:38,710 --> 00:39:40,010
and cannot break free.

456
00:39:40,880 --> 00:39:43,570
Their souls endure centuries of captivity,

457
00:39:44,710 --> 00:39:46,740
which means the demonic spirits are far too powerful.

458
00:39:47,510 --> 00:39:48,530
We must stay vigilant.

459
00:39:53,230 --> 00:39:54,530
This leakage proves

460
00:39:54,960 --> 00:39:56,090
the seal

461
00:39:56,920 --> 00:39:59,090
in the valley is damaged.

462
00:39:59,760 --> 00:40:02,690
First, we must locate and repair

463
00:40:02,920 --> 00:40:04,010
the damaged areas at once

464
00:40:04,670 --> 00:40:07,780
to stop the demons from escaping.

465
00:40:08,800 --> 00:40:10,380
As Lilie Valley stretches wide,

466
00:40:10,880 --> 00:40:12,570
repairing seals drains massive spirit power.

467
00:40:13,630 --> 00:40:15,900
Send elite disciples to search

468
00:40:16,150 --> 00:40:17,380
and guard together.

469
00:40:17,400 --> 00:40:17,860
Agreed.

and the demon clan lurks in wait.

Young disciples

473
00:40:23,030 --> 00:40:25,300
must learn the true threat of demons

474
00:40:25,880 --> 00:40:27,420
and gain battle experience,

475
00:40:27,920 --> 00:40:30,260
or more will be tempted

476
00:40:30,510 --> 00:40:33,260
to practice demonic arts again.

477
00:40:35,110 --> 00:40:35,740
Fair enough.

Sorry.

490
00:41:06,070 --> 00:41:06,980

As cultivators,

00:41:14,550 --> 00:41:15,900
we must lead the charge

495
00:41:16,190 --> 00:41:17,740
and never flinch.
