5
00:01:15,470 --> 00:01:17,450
No wonder my divination last night warned me

6
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:19,250
about a backstabber on this trip.

7
00:01:27,940 --> 00:01:28,580
Be cautious.

8
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:47,530
Xiguang,

9
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:51,170
the Outcast Tomb

10
00:01:51,390 --> 00:01:53,010
is where demons from overseas are interred.

11
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:54,730
As they're our enemies,

12
00:01:54,910 --> 00:01:56,450
why bury them formally?

13
00:02:00,390 --> 00:02:00,700
Here.

14
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:05,860
Because Wuyue Court's elders

15
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:07,090
are benevolent.

16
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:09,700
They laid all vanquished monsters

17
00:02:10,270 --> 00:02:12,460
to rest in peace.

18
00:02:14,270 --> 00:02:15,810
Why did Zhuyan sneak in?

19
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:16,900
Mourning?

20
00:02:19,390 --> 00:02:21,020
Perhaps Demon Lord Yecha's remains

21
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:22,220
are buried there.

22
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:25,090
That's why Zhuyan risked everything to get in.

23
00:02:29,710 --> 00:02:30,340
Xiguang,

24
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:35,340
are Yecha's eyes golden?

25
00:02:37,430 --> 00:02:41,620
Demon Lord Yecha is said to be cruel, bloodthirsty,

26
00:02:41,830 --> 00:02:43,020
and masked,

27
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:44,180
with blazing golden eyes.

28
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:44,780
He killed

29
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:47,020
ruthlessly.

Well done.

39
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:33,130
Your fire-controlling skill is perfected.

40
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:36,890
Go into seclusion with me from tomorrow

41
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:40,980
to cultivate the Hua Sect's advanced inner art.

42
00:04:41,830 --> 00:04:42,420
Seclusion?

43
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:44,100
I thought

44
00:04:44,910 --> 00:04:46,940
we were going to the Outcast Tomb on the White Cliff.

45
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:51,860
The tomb was built 500 years ago

46
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:55,740
by Wuyue Court's ancestors,

47
00:04:56,710 --> 00:04:59,210
deemed useless back then

48
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:02,100
by other immortal sects.

49
00:05:02,590 --> 00:05:06,500
Now, Cuixuan has summoned all the immortal sects on White Cliff.

50
00:05:07,470 --> 00:05:09,420
Seems disaster looms.

51
00:05:10,790 --> 00:05:12,330
The summons is vague.

52
00:05:12,980 --> 00:05:15,500
A demonic beast is said to have broken into the tomb.

53
00:05:16,830 --> 00:05:17,940
The demon clan

54
00:05:19,590 --> 00:05:21,810
has long lurked,

55
00:05:22,700 --> 00:05:25,370
likely laying traps

56
00:05:25,390 --> 00:05:26,540
for us.

57
00:05:27,350 --> 00:05:28,300
Then anyone going there

58
00:05:28,830 --> 00:05:29,770
will be in danger.

59
00:05:30,270 --> 00:05:32,330
As the Sea Calamity draws near,

60
00:05:32,780 --> 00:05:35,540
all sects are saving their strength,

61
00:05:36,460 --> 00:05:40,940
so few will respond to Wuyue Court.

62
00:05:42,830 --> 00:05:44,060
Cuixuan and his disciples

63
00:05:44,580 --> 00:05:47,060
can handle the demons.

64
00:05:47,700 --> 00:05:49,300
Xingzheng Hall won't step in.

65
00:05:50,100 --> 00:05:51,250
We shall wait and observe.

66
00:05:56,830 --> 00:05:58,300
Lifei has weak spirit power,

67
00:05:58,340 --> 00:05:59,660
and she's not Cuixuan's disciple,

68
00:06:00,700 --> 00:06:01,770
so she probably won't go.

69
00:06:34,910 --> 00:06:36,060
So this is the Outcast Tomb.

70
00:06:36,710 --> 00:06:37,770
What's carved up there?

71
00:06:40,030 --> 00:06:43,300
Outcast Tomb for those from countless states and islands overseas.

72
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:44,940
Countless states and islands?

73
00:06:52,230 --> 00:06:54,740
Could the traps beyond the Ganhua Realm

74
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:56,100
be linked to the tomb?

75
00:06:58,200 --> 00:06:59,210
What connection

76
00:06:59,910 --> 00:07:01,250
do those islands have with the demon clan?

77
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:03,660
They originate from there.

78
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:05,100
Ancient texts record

79
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:06,690
that there are countless overseas islands,

80
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:08,100
each with

81
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:09,690
unique customs,

82
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:11,370
swarming with demons.

83
00:07:12,710 --> 00:07:14,660
The texts only mention foreign folk,

84
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:17,130
not necessarily demons.

85
00:07:28,270 --> 00:07:32,010
The White Cliff is the burial ground of demons,

86
00:07:32,350 --> 00:07:35,450
sealed for centuries after its construction.

87
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:39,810
Whoever strays will not return.

88
00:07:39,830 --> 00:07:40,980
It's fraught with peril.

89
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:43,570
This concerns the safety of the Central Plains.

90
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:45,940
We mustn't take chances.

91
00:07:51,590 --> 00:07:53,770
I will follow you to slay demons,

92
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:54,810
even at the cost of my life.

93
00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:59,810
I will follow you to slay demons,

94
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:01,180
even at the cost of my life.

95
00:08:31,350 --> 00:08:32,330
Big trouble!

96
00:08:32,910 --> 00:08:33,810
What's wrong?

97
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:35,940
I just cast a straw divination for this trip

98
00:08:36,230 --> 00:08:37,300
and got the hexagram Earth Over Mountain, Modesty.

99
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:39,490
Isn't that an auspicious sign?

100
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:41,180
It's lucky

101
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:42,060
anywhere else,

102
00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:43,330
but this is

103
00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:44,570
a graveyard.

104
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:45,850
Mountains are within this land,

105
00:08:46,230 --> 00:08:47,060
and waters run close beside it.

106
00:08:47,660 --> 00:08:48,300
This means

107
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:50,020
the truth will surface.

108
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:51,540
Something huge is going to happen.

109
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:52,660
Oh!

110
00:08:52,660 --> 00:08:53,420
I need to cast another divination.

111
00:08:55,540 --> 00:08:56,610
Really?

112
00:08:58,320 --> 00:08:58,940
Lifei.

113
00:09:00,830 --> 00:09:01,490
Qin.

114
00:09:02,750 --> 00:09:04,260
Back at Lilie Valley,

115
00:09:04,510 --> 00:09:05,570
I underestimated the enemy

116
00:09:06,110 --> 00:09:07,020
and got corrupted by demonic energy.

117
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:08,660
Sorry to have offended you.

118
00:09:12,540 --> 00:09:13,420
Please grant me

119
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:15,690
a chance to make amends.

120
00:09:29,630 --> 00:09:30,380
It's overgrown and deserted.

121
00:09:30,990 --> 00:09:31,690
Let's stick together.

122
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:46,690
Lifei,

123
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:48,140
something's odd about the bushes.

124
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:48,730
Stay close.

125
00:09:49,990 --> 00:09:50,380
Coming.

126
00:10:07,110 --> 00:10:07,610
Don't touch it.

127
00:10:08,710 --> 00:10:09,900
This is Wuyue Court's defensive formation.

128
00:10:10,420 --> 00:10:10,970
Once activated,

129
00:10:11,420 --> 00:10:12,970
it'll attack all intruders without discrimination.

130
00:10:16,870 --> 00:10:18,970
Since when have you two grown so close?

131
00:10:57,060 --> 00:10:59,060
As expected, Zhuyan's here.

132
00:11:07,750 --> 00:11:09,180
Stay close, Lifei.

133
00:11:44,590 --> 00:11:45,260
Xiguang,

134
00:11:45,940 --> 00:11:47,660
what hexagram did you just divine?

135
00:11:49,350 --> 00:11:50,210
I didn't even do any divination.

136
00:11:50,710 --> 00:11:52,570
The straws snapped for no reason.

137
00:11:54,830 --> 00:11:55,780
Something's coming.

138
00:12:26,830 --> 00:12:27,450
Go now!

139
00:12:58,510 --> 00:12:59,330
Demon!

140
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:01,660
So you're behind all this.

141
00:13:01,750 --> 00:13:04,020
Worthless immortals,

142
00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:07,610
you'll all rot in this tomb today!

143
00:13:12,510 --> 00:13:13,810
Demon, meet your end.

144
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:18,180
Thank you, Immortal.

145
00:13:18,660 --> 00:13:20,060
You've lifted the tomb-sealing talisman

146
00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:23,300
that trapped my kin for centuries.

147
00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:46,690
It won't work.

148
00:13:47,870 --> 00:13:48,690
A formation looms overhead.

149
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:51,210
Crafted by Wuyue Court's ancestors

150
00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:52,940
masterfully beyond compare,

151
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:54,940
it's infused with the mystic arts of Qi Men Dun Jia,

152
00:13:56,510 --> 00:13:57,420
turning this place

153
00:13:57,440 --> 00:13:58,730
into an inescapable labyrinth.

154
00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:06,420
As one of those elders,

155
00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:07,210
can't Elder Cuixuan break it?

156
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:09,090
Before coming here,

157
00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:11,380
I begged my master to let me

158
00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:12,660
read secret scrolls about the tomb.

159
00:14:13,110 --> 00:14:15,660
Elder Cuixuan came here thrice and returned gravely wounded.

160
00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:19,540
No one but the formation's creator

161
00:14:20,510 --> 00:14:21,730
can break it.

162
00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:24,140
Since he can't break it, did he lead us

163
00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:25,060
to die here?

164
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:27,090
My master said

165
00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:28,970
Elder Cuixuan acts ruthlessly,

166
00:14:29,470 --> 00:14:30,420
risking everything without mercy

167
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:31,970
for others or himself.

168
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:36,300
Cultivation has stripped him of all compassion.

169
00:14:36,710 --> 00:14:37,610
His profound power

170
00:14:37,990 --> 00:14:39,330
lets him survive such gambles,

171
00:14:39,350 --> 00:14:40,140
but what about us?

172
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:41,060
Are we disposable pawns?

173
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:43,900
No wonder Deng's divination failed.

174
00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:47,850
Don't fear.

175
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:54,850
You'll live.

176
00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:00,570
We all will.

177
00:15:01,510 --> 00:15:02,330
My master said

178
00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:03,690
no poison or formation

179
00:15:03,710 --> 00:15:04,900
is unbreakable.

180
00:15:05,230 --> 00:15:06,330
I refuse to believe we're trapped forever.

181
00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:07,180
Right.

182
00:15:07,990 --> 00:15:08,940
Man-made barriers

183
00:15:09,470 --> 00:15:10,490
always have an exit.

184
00:15:15,470 --> 00:15:16,940
The Life Gate is located in Gen Palace.

185
00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:19,690
Come.

186
00:15:26,870 --> 00:15:27,380
Lifei.

187
00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:33,900
Run now.

188
00:15:34,870 --> 00:15:35,780
You're just an eyesore.

189
00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:37,090
I wouldn't rest in peace

190
00:15:37,350 --> 00:15:38,300
if we perish together.

191
00:15:38,710 --> 00:15:39,450
Just accept it.

192
00:15:39,750 --> 00:15:40,570

383

384

The aura is gone.

390
00:34:56,840 --> 00:34:57,530

Master,

392
00:35:05,110 --> 00:35:06,610
the tomb sank into the sea,

393
00:35:06,990 --> 00:35:08,530
so the demon threat should be gone.

394
00:35:09,240 --> 00:35:10,420
The White Cliff lies in ruins,

395
00:35:11,360 --> 00:35:13,740
yet we found no trace of the Demon Lord's corpse.

396
00:35:14,360 --> 00:35:16,010
I cannot rest easy.

397
00:35:16,990 --> 00:35:18,530
This tomb disaster means

398
00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:21,300
the demon clan will strike again.

399

I told you the hexagram Earth Over Mountain, Modesty was ill-omened.

404

Earth over mountain

405
00:36:00,590 --> 00:36:01,130
signals a great shock.

406
00:36:01,840 --> 00:36:03,530
The White Cliff collapsed.

407
00:36:08,190 --> 00:36:08,900
Do you think

408
00:36:09,670 --> 00:36:11,900
Demon Lord Yecha perished?

409
00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:20,700
I once thought my master's tales

410
00:36:21,590 --> 00:36:23,740
of Yecha were overblown,

411
00:36:24,110 --> 00:36:25,170
but now I know

412
00:36:26,720 --> 00:36:28,530
they were not.

413
00:36:29,110 --> 00:36:29,900
You know what?

414
00:36:30,150 --> 00:36:31,610
When his gaze fell on me,

415
00:36:31,990 --> 00:36:33,820
my legs froze.

416
00:36:36,030 --> 00:36:37,300
Luckily,

417
00:36:38,220 --> 00:36:39,820
he just revived

418
00:36:40,190 --> 00:36:41,170
with power yet to return.

419
00:36:41,880 --> 00:36:42,940

Xiguang,

421
00:36:48,510 --> 00:36:50,300
did Yecha truly slaughter countless souls?

422
00:36:51,030 --> 00:36:52,700
He slaughtered countless people,

423
00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:55,130
like a nightmare for all the immortal sects.

424
00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:14,380
Xiguang,

425
00:37:15,030 --> 00:37:16,300
have you seen

426
00:37:16,960 --> 00:37:18,780
a huge transparent fish?

427
00:37:21,840 --> 00:37:23,300
There's a fish in the Northern Ocean

428
00:37:23,440 --> 00:37:24,780
named Kun.

429
00:37:25,220 --> 00:37:26,420
Its size

430
00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:28,010
is beyond imagination.

431
00:37:28,590 --> 00:37:29,820
You saw something

432
00:37:30,840 --> 00:37:31,610
no mortal has ever witnessed.

433
00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:33,820
Legends say the Kun fish comes from overseas.

434
00:37:34,030 --> 00:37:34,940
It's a sacred spirit

435
00:37:35,510 --> 00:37:36,820
and is rarely seen.

436
00:37:56,360 --> 00:37:57,650
Are those rock piles

linked to Master?

438

439
00:38:02,550 --> 00:38:03,610
was it?

440

Jiang Lifei.

441
00:38:16,280 --> 00:38:17,820
Why come here alone?

442
00:38:19,360 --> 00:38:19,940
I lost

443
00:38:20,590 --> 00:38:22,220
my Xiaying Sword,

444
00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:24,860
and it was forged specially by my master.

445
00:38:25,110 --> 00:38:26,170
I dare not return

446

I don't know.

449

Everything was a mess yesterday.

450

Those demons kept chasing me,

451

you were there when Yecha appeared,

455
00:39:00,220 --> 00:39:02,740
but he lost sight of you during the escape.

456
00:39:06,150 --> 00:39:07,490
Where did you go afterward?
