00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:17,860
What happened to you?

8
00:01:18,390 --> 00:01:19,730
Did you get beaten up in your dream?

9
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:31,530
I'm fine.

10
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:41,700
Trouble!

11
00:01:42,190 --> 00:01:43,650
Demons are breaking the mountain-sea barrier.

12
00:01:44,310 --> 00:01:45,420
Return to the city at once

13

I'm Qiongqi. Greetings, My Lord.

16
00:03:14,670 --> 00:03:15,250
My Lord,

17
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:16,500
you've finally returned.

18
00:03:17,830 --> 00:03:18,940
Is the lord you mentioned

19
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:21,410
the Demon Lord Yecha?

20
00:03:21,870 --> 00:03:23,300
Word spread that you reappeared on the White Cliff.

21
00:03:23,590 --> 00:03:24,220
The whole demon clan

22
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:25,780
longs for your arrival.

23
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:27,650
After five centuries of exile and humiliation,

24
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:30,130
we've dreamed of your return

25
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:31,250
to restore our demon clan.

00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:10,860
I'm fine.

41
00:06:14,910 --> 00:06:15,570
Move!

42
00:06:17,030 --> 00:06:17,660
Get up!

43
00:06:17,830 --> 00:06:19,130
Get up right now, you beast!

44
00:06:21,790 --> 00:06:22,660
Are you seeking death?

45
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:29,540
- Get up. - Are you hurt?

Who's there?

47
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:36,810
It's just a cub.

48
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:38,010
Doesn't seem to have killed anyone.

49
00:06:38,030 --> 00:06:38,660
Why slay it?

51
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:43,420

55

Bully the weak

56
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:50,450
and twist the truth, huh?

57
00:06:50,790 --> 00:06:53,180
Duanming City used to live in peace.

58
00:06:53,470 --> 00:06:54,570
Ever since you showed up,

59
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:55,770
either the barrier breaks

60

Among these captured monster beasts,

75
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:32,100
some are spirit companions raised by the Sea Sect.

76
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:33,660
There is a hidden truth behind this chaos.

77
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:35,660
The Guangsheng Faction only detains them,

79
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:42,770
Mr. Shen and the immortal elders haven't looked into this yet.

80
00:07:43,270 --> 00:07:44,940
You're trying to kill them to cover up the truth, huh?

81
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:46,620
Fine, forget it.

82
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:47,890

89

Be careful.

90
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:03,570
Behave yourselves.

91
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:04,210
Hurry.

92
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:05,690
I'll follow them to watch them,

93

[Duanming City Inn]

95
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:18,300
You know that cultivating the Xuanhua Sacred Fire

96
00:08:18,390 --> 00:08:19,740
requires severing all mortal affection.

97
00:08:20,470 --> 00:08:22,300
Yet only a few days after arriving in Duanming City,

98
00:08:22,910 --> 00:08:24,300
your spirit sense has sustained damage,

99
00:08:24,470 --> 00:08:25,660
and a heart tribulation looms over you.

100
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:28,010
Is it because of Jiang Lifei?

101
00:08:29,390 --> 00:08:30,370
I let my guard down for a moment.

102
00:08:30,910 --> 00:08:31,740
It has nothing to do with her.

103
00:08:32,710 --> 00:08:34,970
Besides, she's far stronger now.

104
00:08:35,110 --> 00:08:35,940
Her cultivation has advanced greatly,

105
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:37,450
and she saved me on Fanghu Island.

106

Tongzhou,

107
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:45,690
the Xuanhua Sacred Fire is the Hua Sect's supreme technique.

108

No one has mastered it in hundreds of years,

109
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:51,180
not even me.

110
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:55,610
If you cannot cast aside personal desires

111
00:08:55,630 --> 00:08:56,690
and master the Sacred Fire,

112
00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:00,140
how will you lead Xingzheng Hall

113
00:09:00,630 --> 00:09:03,570
and fulfill the grand plan to secure Yue's realm?

114
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:06,420
I'll master the supreme technique.

115
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:08,210
You have my word.

116
00:09:10,660 --> 00:09:11,140
But

117
00:09:13,110 --> 00:09:14,330
I'll never give up Jiang Lifei.

118
00:09:14,830 --> 00:09:16,020
In your life,

119
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:17,730
you gain only after you let go.

120
00:09:17,980 --> 00:09:18,900
The immortal path is lonely.

121
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:20,140
How can you have both?

122
00:09:20,580 --> 00:09:21,380
Whether I can have both,

123
00:09:22,230 --> 00:09:23,300
I'll have my own judgment.

124
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:26,810
No need to lecture me

125
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:28,060
over and over.

126
00:09:30,470 --> 00:09:31,300
Very well.

127
00:09:34,590 --> 00:09:35,780
If you insist on this foolish path,

128
00:09:36,110 --> 00:09:36,690
so be it.

129
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:41,690
I'll wait for the day you hit a dead end

130
00:09:42,470 --> 00:09:44,380
and damage your cultivation.

131
00:09:46,540 --> 00:09:47,180
Tongzhou,

132
00:09:47,630 --> 00:09:48,690
here's the antidote to the monster poison...

133
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:51,210
Mr. Xuanshan.

134
00:10:04,820 --> 00:10:06,090
He's so furious.

135
00:10:10,590 --> 00:10:12,140
Still because of the mirage dream?

136
00:10:13,300 --> 00:10:14,330
What did you see?

137
00:10:15,180 --> 00:10:16,180
Are you still under its influence?

138
00:10:19,060 --> 00:10:20,490
All those illusions are fake.

139
00:10:20,980 --> 00:10:22,380
Dwelling on them, and you'll lose yourself.

140
00:10:22,420 --> 00:10:23,020
I'm not dwelling on it.

141
00:10:25,110 --> 00:10:25,970
You don't understand.

142
00:10:27,060 --> 00:10:27,850
Don't understand?

143
00:10:28,340 --> 00:10:30,330
Because I don't dwell on painful memories.

144
00:10:30,990 --> 00:10:32,300
Dreams show the opposite of reality.

145
00:10:32,560 --> 00:10:33,490
Try to look on the bright side,

146
00:10:33,680 --> 00:10:34,780
and they might be a good sign.

147
00:10:36,420 --> 00:10:37,210
A good sign?

148
00:10:38,750 --> 00:10:39,420
Think about it.

149
00:10:39,870 --> 00:10:40,780
The illusion laid out

150
00:10:40,820 --> 00:10:42,260
all your deepest fears,

151
00:10:42,470 --> 00:10:44,180
so you can avoid them in the real world.

152
00:10:45,340 --> 00:10:47,090
At the very least,

153
00:10:47,110 --> 00:10:48,660
you won't feel as helpless as you did in the illusion.

154
00:10:51,750 --> 00:10:52,330
Lifei,

155
00:10:54,350 --> 00:10:56,900
if one day a great disaster befalls me,

156
00:10:57,510 --> 00:10:58,180
or

157
00:10:59,180 --> 00:11:00,380
I lose everything

158
00:11:00,940 --> 00:11:01,690
and am left all alone,

159
00:11:02,940 --> 00:11:03,940
would you abandon me?

160
00:11:04,940 --> 00:11:05,940
Your Highness, do not abandon us,

161
00:11:05,980 --> 00:11:07,090
your friends.

162
00:11:21,100 --> 00:11:21,810
How's Tongzhou?

163
00:11:24,830 --> 00:11:25,490
He's alright,

164
00:11:26,340 --> 00:11:27,570
just acting a little strange.

165
00:11:28,990 --> 00:11:30,660
Probably the mirage dream scared him badly.

166
00:11:33,510 --> 00:11:34,140
By the way,

167
00:11:34,710 --> 00:11:36,490
did you catch demon beast Qiongqi?

168
00:11:38,060 --> 00:11:40,210
It got away.

169
00:11:41,420 --> 00:11:42,690
If it escaped your grasp,

170
00:11:43,230 --> 00:11:44,780
it must be extremely powerful.

171
00:11:46,590 --> 00:11:49,020
I wonder how many demon beasts are in the city.

172
00:11:58,420 --> 00:12:00,140
You are fiery

173
00:12:00,340 --> 00:12:02,180
and passionate.

174
00:12:02,220 --> 00:12:03,210
Your cultivation

175
00:12:03,300 --> 00:12:05,260
will surely be fraught with hardships.

176
00:12:05,470 --> 00:12:07,420
All love, hatred, grudges, entanglements,

177
00:12:07,460 --> 00:12:08,570
and the bustling mortal world

178
00:12:08,590 --> 00:12:10,180
will stoke an unquenchable inner flame.

179
00:12:10,300 --> 00:12:11,660
If you cannot let go,

180
00:12:11,830 --> 00:12:13,210
how can you make progress?

181
00:12:14,590 --> 00:12:15,300
Tongzhou.

182
00:12:16,870 --> 00:12:17,570
Lifei.

183
00:12:38,710 --> 00:12:39,690
Dwelling on them,

184
00:12:39,710 --> 00:12:40,690
and you'll lose yourself.

185
00:12:43,110 --> 00:12:44,180
It is a fleeting dream,

186
00:12:44,510 --> 00:12:45,300
all fake.

187
00:12:45,830 --> 00:12:46,610
Let it go.

188
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:53,850
Lifei.

189
00:13:15,350 --> 00:13:15,850
Speak!

190
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:17,690
Who ordered you to stir up trouble?

191
00:13:18,470 --> 00:13:20,970
You humans are selfish and hypocritical.

192
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:22,660
You oppress the monster clan

193
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:24,300
and slaughter us at will.

194
00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:26,060
We only fled for our lives.

195
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:27,540
What's wrong with that?

196
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:29,210
What's wrong with that?

197
00:13:44,990 --> 00:13:47,610
So it's possessed by the demon clan.

198
00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:49,970
Speak!

199
00:13:50,590 --> 00:13:51,140
Monster,

200
00:13:52,230 --> 00:13:53,940
who is your demon leader?

201
00:13:54,680 --> 00:13:55,610
Old fool.

202
00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:57,210
The Demon Lord has returned.

203
00:13:57,510 --> 00:13:58,970
The Guardians' schemes are flawless.

204
00:13:59,350 --> 00:14:01,810
Soon we'll conquer the Central Plains

205
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:04,300
and slay every last one of you.

206
00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:11,210
Which Guardian?

207
00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:14,300
Are they hiding in the city now?

208
00:14:20,510 --> 00:14:21,660
Five centuries ago,

209
00:14:21,990 --> 00:14:24,970
I fought two Guardians of the demon clan.

210
00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:26,570
They were extremely crafty.

211
00:14:27,230 --> 00:14:28,490
Whichever one has sneaked in,

212
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:30,810
they will prove a deadly foe.

213
00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:33,300
Mr. Shen,

214
00:14:33,710 --> 00:14:35,730
we can't question every

215
00:14:35,750 --> 00:14:36,540
captured monster beast.

216
00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:37,730
In my opinion,

217
00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:39,420
we may execute all of them together

218
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:40,300
to eliminate future threats.

219
00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:43,490
Lifei!

220
00:14:44,710 --> 00:14:45,330
Lifei!

221
00:14:46,830 --> 00:14:47,450
It's terrible!

222
00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:48,900
Elder Cuixuan has ordered

223
00:14:48,990 --> 00:14:50,940
that all captured monster beasts must be killed.

224
00:14:53,110 --> 00:14:54,260
Did they find the demon leader?

225
00:14:54,470 --> 00:14:55,780
Why kill the monster clan suddenly?

226
00:14:57,870 --> 00:14:59,780
Last night, I went to the Guangsheng Faction's prison

227
00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:02,260
to make sure they wouldn't kill the spirits.

228
00:15:02,750 --> 00:15:04,060
But when I came back this morning,

229
00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:06,020
Luo Chengji's disciples passed down the order

230
00:15:06,510 --> 00:15:08,380
to transfer all monster beasts to the shore

231
00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:09,610
and kill them all,

232
00:15:09,870 --> 00:15:10,690
none spared.

233
00:15:19,830 --> 00:15:20,540
Deng,

234
00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:22,570
what are you doing?

235
00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:24,210
Step out here!

236
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:36,810
You're hiding a spirit right under the elder's nose.

237
00:15:37,350 --> 00:15:38,420
Are you seeking death?

238
00:15:40,350 --> 00:15:41,900
I saved this little one before.

239
00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:43,610
It risked its life to save me yesterday

240
00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:45,380
and is sharing key information with us.

241
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:50,490
That day, after Lifei saved me,

242
00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:51,810
I planned to head back

243
00:15:51,830 --> 00:15:53,780
to my homeland, Yingcui Island, with my elders.

244
00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:55,210
But before we left the city,

245
00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:57,140
all the spirit beasts around suddenly went berserk,

246
00:15:57,470 --> 00:15:58,850
and my elders lost their minds too.

247
00:15:59,230 --> 00:16:00,380
I tried to hold them back,

248
00:16:00,510 --> 00:16:01,690
yet they acted as if they didn't know me

249
00:16:01,710 --> 00:16:02,690
and even tried to kill me.

250
00:16:02,870 --> 00:16:03,810
Terrified,

251
00:16:03,830 --> 00:16:04,780
I hid myself away,

252
00:16:05,110 --> 00:16:06,490
and that's when I met Lifei.

253
00:16:08,710 --> 00:16:10,420
Spirit companions may have faint power,

254
00:16:10,710 --> 00:16:12,140
yet they possess some cultivation.

255
00:16:12,590 --> 00:16:14,490
Why are they controlled by the demon clan so easily?

256
00:16:19,750 --> 00:16:20,450
Before they lost control,

257
00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:22,570
did you eat or drink anything?

258
00:16:23,230 --> 00:16:25,610
To avoid being captured again by the Guangsheng Faction,

259
00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:27,060
we didn't even have time to eat.

260
00:16:27,230 --> 00:16:29,140
They drank water from a pond along the way.

261
00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:30,450
I had a mouth wound

262
00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:32,060
and dared not touch the water.

263
00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:34,330
Now it all makes sense.

264
00:16:34,870 --> 00:16:35,850
I was wondering

265
00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:38,140
how the demon clan could seize

266
00:16:38,350 --> 00:16:40,060
all the monster beasts in the city overnight

267
00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:42,610
under the immortal elders' noses.

268
00:16:42,830 --> 00:16:44,180
That would only alert us.

269
00:16:46,630 --> 00:16:48,020
There's only one explanation.

270
00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:51,450
The water source is poisoned.

271
00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:53,090
Yeah, they poisoned the water supply.

272
00:17:02,710 --> 00:17:03,850
I've asked Gelin.

273
00:17:04,230 --> 00:17:05,730
All underground water in Duanming City

274
00:17:05,750 --> 00:17:06,820
connects to this freshwater lake.

275
00:17:07,310 --> 00:17:08,290
If someone wants to poison the water,

276
00:17:08,510 --> 00:17:09,730
this place will be the perfect spot.

277
00:17:30,710 --> 00:17:31,450
They're from the Guangsheng Faction.

278
00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:32,940
Mr. Shi,

279
00:17:33,310 --> 00:17:34,690
I've spread all the sea salt.

280
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:36,860
After killing every monster beast tomorrow morning,

281
00:17:37,310 --> 00:17:38,660
we'll strip their hides

282
00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:39,620
and cure their flesh.

283
00:17:39,990 --> 00:17:42,380
Not a single hair will go to waste, I promise you.

284
00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:44,420
Seems that the man told me the truth.

285
00:17:45,270 --> 00:17:46,340
Wait till you return to tally your gold.

286
00:17:46,710 --> 00:17:47,180
Let's go.

287
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:48,620
What if

288
00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:50,100
that old fool changes his mind

289
00:17:50,230 --> 00:17:51,050
and calls off the slaughter?

290
00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:52,180
He won't.

291
00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:53,900
The immortal sects mean to bait someone out,

292
00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:55,250
so they'll kill without mercy.

293
00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:56,250
Hurry, let's go.

294
00:18:04,070 --> 00:18:05,250
Spirit-Releasing Antidote Powder.

295
00:18:07,310 --> 00:18:08,770
It's Shi Chengtian's doing, just as expected.

296
00:18:09,750 --> 00:18:10,620
I'm going to Mr. Shen.

297
00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:13,140
Don't bother.

298
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:14,690
To them,

299
00:18:15,310 --> 00:18:16,140
the truth means nothing.

300
00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:18,660
The elders know full well what caused

301
00:18:19,310 --> 00:18:21,010
the monster beasts to lose control.

302
00:18:22,270 --> 00:18:23,530
They're using it to eliminate all non-human creatures

303
00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:24,730
and future threats for good.

304
00:18:26,230 --> 00:18:27,140
All lives are precious.

305
00:18:27,710 --> 00:18:28,380
They have no right to decide

306
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:29,730
the fate of these innocent monster beasts.

307
00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:32,490
As the monster beasts ran amok,

308
00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:35,210
slaying them is what everyone wants.

309
00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:36,900
If you speak up for them,

310
00:18:37,340 --> 00:18:38,100
be ready

311
00:18:38,750 --> 00:18:40,210
to openly stand against the immortal sects.

312
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:41,690
Do you understand?

313
00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:43,420
I do.

314
00:18:44,470 --> 00:18:46,050
At worst, I'll be barred from returning to Wuyue Court.

315
00:18:47,070 --> 00:18:48,490
If they can't tell right from wrong

316
00:18:48,510 --> 00:18:49,290
and kill the innocent,

317
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:51,380
I won't care to remain their disciple.

318
00:18:51,990 --> 00:18:52,660
In that case,

319
00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:54,050
we can return to the Chufeng Academy.

320
00:18:54,550 --> 00:18:55,180
Master...

321
00:18:56,270 --> 00:18:56,860
Mr. Hu

322
00:18:57,400 --> 00:18:58,970
and Mr. Zuo Qiu will take us in.

323
00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:01,210
Lifei,

324
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:02,660
count me in, too!

325
00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:04,010
Count me in, too!

326
00:19:06,030 --> 00:19:07,620
Don't get mixed up in this.

327
00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:10,100
How can I be your senior

328
00:19:10,270 --> 00:19:11,660
and stand aside?

329
00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:13,970
Besides, what are you off to do?

330
00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:16,690
Save all living beings!

331
00:19:17,120 --> 00:19:19,250
It's such a meritorious deed.

332
00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:23,050
I might even ascend to immortality from this.

333
00:19:23,510 --> 00:19:24,250
You must count me in.

334
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:27,940
This journey will be dangerous,

335
00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:29,660
so you may back out at any time

336
00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:31,210
if you regret it.

337
00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:35,420
- I'll never regret it.
- I'll never regret it.

338
00:19:41,120 --> 00:19:42,250
Everyone, good work out there.

339
00:19:42,790 --> 00:19:44,490
Mr. Shi sends his regards.

340
00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:53,210
It didn't work at all.

341
00:19:59,660 --> 00:20:00,490
I knew it.

342
00:20:00,990 --> 00:20:01,730
Mr. Dongyang refined

343
00:20:01,750 --> 00:20:03,580
this drug from sleep-inducing bugs,

344
00:20:03,620 --> 00:20:04,820
so it can knock them all out.

345
00:20:05,700 --> 00:20:06,140
Go.

346
00:20:10,710 --> 00:20:11,820
Wuyue Court's restriction spell.

347
00:20:12,460 --> 00:20:13,770
What do we do now?

348
00:20:14,360 --> 00:20:15,180
What can we do?

349
00:20:16,180 --> 00:20:16,860
I know how to break it.

350
00:20:18,070 --> 00:20:18,580
Then...

351
00:20:20,900 --> 00:20:21,730
All arts converge as one;

352
00:20:21,940 --> 00:20:22,730
break the formation and reveal the spirit.

353
00:20:26,310 --> 00:20:27,770
You've got real skill.

354
00:20:27,790 --> 00:20:28,490
Naturally.

355
00:20:28,900 --> 00:20:30,730
Since I was taken as my master's personal disciple at three,

356
00:20:31,030 --> 00:20:32,420
I've tinkered with these formations for over a decade.

357
00:20:32,510 --> 00:20:33,380
Child's play for me.

358
00:20:34,550 --> 00:20:34,940
Let's go.

359
00:20:34,990 --> 00:20:35,420
Hurry.

360
00:20:55,310 --> 00:20:57,100
As the mirage poison lingers in your body for ages,

361
00:20:58,750 --> 00:21:00,450
your spirit roots are damaged now.

362
00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:03,820
It may take a decade

363
00:21:04,900 --> 00:21:07,770
to fully mend them.

364
00:21:09,550 --> 00:21:10,660
Darn it.

365
00:21:11,230 --> 00:21:12,140
I'm incompetent

366
00:21:13,620 --> 00:21:15,100
and have troubled you greatly.

367
00:21:15,790 --> 00:21:17,580
Focus solely on recuperating for now.

368
00:21:17,940 --> 00:21:18,580
Once we return,

369
00:21:19,790 --> 00:21:22,530
I'll have Dongyang tend to your conditioning carefully.

370
00:21:23,180 --> 00:21:24,100
Thank you, Master.

371
00:21:24,940 --> 00:21:25,580
Master,

372
00:21:26,270 --> 00:21:27,250
during our time on Fanghu Island,

373
00:21:27,470 --> 00:21:28,660
I discovered that Jiang Lifei...

374
00:21:33,460 --> 00:21:34,770
There's a jailbreak rescue!

375
00:21:39,510 --> 00:21:40,250
Halt!

376
00:21:41,230 --> 00:21:43,180
You should guard the outside.

377
00:21:43,310 --> 00:21:44,420
Why have you come in?

378
00:21:44,860 --> 00:21:45,770
Any more drugs left?

379
00:21:45,790 --> 00:21:46,580
I've given you all of it.

380
00:21:48,660 --> 00:21:50,180
I came inside to relieve myself

381
00:21:50,460 --> 00:21:51,180
and will head out right away.

382
00:21:52,660 --> 00:21:53,420
- You... - He's far too strong.

383
00:21:53,460 --> 00:21:54,530
I'll fetch reinforcements. Hold him off.

384
00:21:54,550 --> 00:21:55,180
What a fair-weather friend.

385
00:21:56,070 --> 00:21:57,490
Are you also here to relieve yourself?

386
00:21:59,990 --> 00:22:01,690
I came along with him. I'm leaving.

387
00:22:01,990 --> 00:22:02,900
Jiang Lifei.

388
00:22:08,990 --> 00:22:11,290
You have sharp eyes and saw

389
00:22:11,510 --> 00:22:13,530
right through my disguise at once.

390
00:22:14,940 --> 00:22:16,450
Why are you dressed like this?

391
00:22:19,420 --> 00:22:21,820
I heard the monster beast chaos

392
00:22:21,860 --> 00:22:23,450
was stirred up by demon spies.

393
00:22:24,220 --> 00:22:25,290
So I thought

394
00:22:25,310 --> 00:22:26,100
if I dressed like this,

395
00:22:26,120 --> 00:22:27,620
I could capture and question a monster beast,

396
00:22:27,940 --> 00:22:29,250
so I could help you capture

397
00:22:29,270 --> 00:22:30,620
demon spies ahead of time.

398
00:22:31,270 --> 00:22:34,010
She is cunning and will become a grave threat.

399
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:39,100
He's trying to kill me!

400
00:22:40,420 --> 00:22:41,690
I... I have

401
00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:43,690
a terrible stomachache.

402
00:22:43,710 --> 00:22:45,290
May I step aside for a moment?

403
00:22:45,900 --> 00:22:46,530
Stomachache?

404
00:22:46,900 --> 00:22:48,450
Then let me check your pulse.

405
00:22:55,180 --> 00:22:57,140
I'm sacrificing myself to save them!

406
00:22:57,620 --> 00:22:59,730
Xiuyuan, everything rests on you.

407
00:23:18,180 --> 00:23:18,690
Lu.

408
00:23:24,660 --> 00:23:25,290
Clan leader.

409
00:23:27,860 --> 00:23:28,450
Clan leader?

410
00:23:30,270 --> 00:23:31,100
I'm a half-monster.

411
00:23:32,070 --> 00:23:34,660
They are my clansfolk.

412
00:23:35,180 --> 00:23:36,690
I never thought disciples of the immortal sects

413
00:23:36,990 --> 00:23:38,530
would lend a hand to the monster clan.

414
00:23:39,310 --> 00:23:39,940
Lei,

415
00:23:40,990 --> 00:23:41,530
thank you.

416
00:23:44,790 --> 00:23:46,140
The elders will find out soon.

417
00:23:46,940 --> 00:23:47,690
We have to leave at once.

418
00:23:51,550 --> 00:23:52,420
I'm at my limit.

419
00:23:52,710 --> 00:23:53,250
I'll risk everything!

420
00:24:01,230 --> 00:24:02,250
An empty shell.

421
00:24:03,120 --> 00:24:04,100
You were testing me.

422
00:24:04,470 --> 00:24:05,900
You've got some perseverance.

423
00:24:13,310 --> 00:24:14,940
So you really came to rescue them.

424
00:24:17,660 --> 00:24:18,180
Uncle!

425
00:24:20,470 --> 00:24:21,250
Tongzhou?

426
00:24:21,470 --> 00:24:22,050
Uncle,

427
00:24:22,460 --> 00:24:23,420
this whole thing was my idea.

428
00:24:23,700 --> 00:24:24,660
I told Lifei to...

429
00:24:24,860 --> 00:24:26,290
To meet you.

430
00:24:29,750 --> 00:24:30,970
Since His Highness is here,

431
00:24:30,990 --> 00:24:33,010
I'll speak plainly.

432
00:24:33,270 --> 00:24:34,050
What are you doing?

433
00:24:34,660 --> 00:24:36,660
Since His Highness got injured yesterday,

434
00:24:37,070 --> 00:24:38,730
I've been consumed with guilt.

435
00:24:39,220 --> 00:24:40,580
I feared you'd hold a grudge against me.

436
00:24:41,460 --> 00:24:42,530
But His Highness said

437
00:24:43,070 --> 00:24:45,050
you're the kindest,

438
00:24:45,220 --> 00:24:46,690
and you won't hold this against me.

439
00:24:47,220 --> 00:24:48,490
So I ventured here

440
00:24:48,510 --> 00:24:49,690
to explain myself.

441
00:24:49,710 --> 00:24:50,380
Uncle,

442
00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:59,620
please allow us to be cultivation partners.

443
00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:09,690
Lifei,

444
00:25:11,230 --> 00:25:13,690
we've sworn to never abandon one another.

445
00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:16,420
My uncle won't make things hard for you.

446
00:25:17,230 --> 00:25:18,770
Take out the token I gave you.

447
00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:21,730
The Chiyan Stone.

448
00:25:23,710 --> 00:25:25,660
It's here.

449
00:25:26,270 --> 00:25:26,940
Here.

450
00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:31,420
You gave the Zhurong Stone to an outsider?

451
00:25:33,710 --> 00:25:35,620
This is the Zhurong Stone?

452
00:25:36,510 --> 00:25:37,100
Watch out!

453
00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:40,660
Go!

454
00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:42,250
Take care!

455
00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:43,820
Tongzhou,

456
00:25:44,790 --> 00:25:46,420
you dare raise a hand against me?

457
00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:47,660
Calm your anger.

458
00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:49,940
Lifei is no outsider.

459
00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:52,580
She is my cultivation partner who shares life and death with me.

460
00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:55,690
Please grant us your permission.

461
00:25:58,070 --> 00:25:59,490
[Guangsheng Faction]
We're finally out.

462
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:01,050
Hurry up!

463
00:26:11,710 --> 00:26:13,050
Mere petty trickery.

464
00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:15,050
Reveal your form!

465
00:26:27,070 --> 00:26:28,180
Over there! Chase!

466
00:26:28,310 --> 00:26:29,050
Yes!

467
00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:47,140
They're somewhere nearby.

468
00:26:57,270 --> 00:26:57,900
Mr. Luo,

469
00:26:58,270 --> 00:26:58,770
monster beasts

470
00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:00,690
are trying to kill me.

471
00:27:00,710 --> 00:27:01,380
Where

472
00:27:02,030 --> 00:27:02,770
are they?

473
00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:04,340
Over there!

474
00:27:14,070 --> 00:27:15,140
There's evil spiritual energy

475
00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:18,100
all over you.

476
00:27:23,270 --> 00:27:25,690
I must have gotten monster blood on myself

477
00:27:26,100 --> 00:27:27,140
while fighting them earlier.

478
00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:28,420
Master,

479
00:27:28,510 --> 00:27:29,380
monster beasts are over there!

480
00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:31,820
Right there, let's check it out.

481
00:27:31,990 --> 00:27:33,140
- Go. - Chase!

482
00:27:48,310 --> 00:27:49,100
Dawn is breaking soon.

483
00:27:49,550 --> 00:27:50,620
Are you sure we can get out this way?

484
00:27:50,790 --> 00:27:52,380
There is a secret door under the jar fortress.

485
00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:53,210
We'll make it out for sure.

486
00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:01,420
Leave it to me.

487
00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:18,730
This aura...

488
00:28:23,550 --> 00:28:25,210
Jiang Lifei.

489
00:28:25,230 --> 00:28:25,940
Let them pass.

490
00:28:36,070 --> 00:28:37,180
The trip is dangerous.

491
00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:39,210
Take care.

492
00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:40,660
Will do.

493
00:28:49,550 --> 00:28:49,940
Hurry!

494
00:28:57,920 --> 00:28:59,100
What's going on here?

495
00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:02,250
What happened?

496
00:29:04,710 --> 00:29:05,660
I let my guard down.

497
00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:08,490
They mean to hunt us all down,

498
00:29:08,990 --> 00:29:09,770
leaving none alive.

499
00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:13,580
Fire! Look, there's fire!

500
00:29:14,710 --> 00:29:15,290
Fire!

501
00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:21,940
Everyone, stay calm.

502
00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:23,490
Mr. Lu,

503
00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:24,900
we signed a spirit pact

504
00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:26,490
to live in peace alongside humans.

505
00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:27,770
Why do they seek to slay us,

506
00:29:27,990 --> 00:29:29,530
even leaving our bodies unburied?

507
00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:30,970
The formation won't hold much longer. What to do?

508
00:29:31,270 --> 00:29:31,940
I'll hold them off.

509
00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:34,050
Lead everyone away with Lu Li.

510
00:29:34,750 --> 00:29:35,490
I'm staying here with you.

511
00:29:36,070 --> 00:29:36,580
Lifei.

512
00:29:36,790 --> 00:29:37,730
Don't you act on your own.

513
00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:39,140
The Fragrance Bond still binds us.

514
00:29:39,550 --> 00:29:40,340
We swore

515
00:29:40,790 --> 00:29:42,900
to live and die together, never to abandon each other.

516
00:29:43,230 --> 00:29:44,340
Neither of us shall break that.

517
00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:51,490
[Riyan, Nine-Tailed Fox]
It's so hot in here.

518
00:29:52,710 --> 00:29:54,180
What are you roasting?

519
00:29:55,710 --> 00:29:56,900
Riyan, you've healed up.

520
00:29:57,200 --> 00:29:57,860
Please,

521
00:29:58,120 --> 00:29:59,100
let us get out of here.

522
00:30:00,470 --> 00:30:01,140
I'll give it a shot.

523
00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:15,820
It's the mountain-sea barrier.

524
00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:17,940
I can't break through.

525
00:30:33,710 --> 00:30:35,340
The old monster is here too.

526
00:30:58,470 --> 00:30:59,010
Wait for me!

527
00:30:59,880 --> 00:31:00,660
Just listen to me.

528
00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:01,290
Don't touch me.

529
00:31:03,070 --> 00:31:04,250
Riyan.

530
00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:06,050
Riyan,

531
00:31:06,510 --> 00:31:08,380
could you teach me

532
00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:09,620
the Divine Brush Teleportation skill?

533
00:31:10,550 --> 00:31:12,530
Old monster, mind your own business!

534
00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:13,580
You're stealing my spotlight!

535
00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:15,900
Fox, you're truly ungrateful.

536
00:31:16,710 --> 00:31:18,490
I went out of my way to help you,

537
00:31:19,070 --> 00:31:20,380
yet you won't even say thank you.

538
00:31:21,510 --> 00:31:22,620
Mr. Yan.

539
00:31:23,470 --> 00:31:24,340
Lifei,

540
00:31:24,470 --> 00:31:26,730
we're fated to cross paths from afar.

541
00:31:27,030 --> 00:31:28,860
It'd be such a waste not to strike it rich together.

542
00:31:29,030 --> 00:31:30,180
You stinky old monster!

543
00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:34,580
Mr. Yan,

544
00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:36,730
what are you doing here?

545
00:31:37,470 --> 00:31:38,860
Lately, folks are on edge,

546
00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:39,770
and business has been slow,

547
00:31:39,990 --> 00:31:42,100
so I plan to travel overseas

548
00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:44,340
to gather material for new tales.

549
00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:47,490
Mr. Yan,

550
00:31:48,710 --> 00:31:51,100
are you also a monster?

551
00:31:54,440 --> 00:31:57,420
Anything abnormal is labeled as a monster.

552
00:31:58,030 --> 00:31:58,940
In that sense,

553
00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:01,450
we're all monsters.

554
00:32:01,750 --> 00:32:02,420
True.

555
00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:03,970
None of us fit the norm,

556
00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:05,010
so we're all monsters alike.

557
00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:07,250
Mr. Yan,

558
00:32:07,550 --> 00:32:08,290
what kind of monster are you?

559
00:32:09,710 --> 00:32:11,690
Your mastery over script spirit is peerless,

560
00:32:12,070 --> 00:32:13,490
so you must possess a semi-immortal body,

561
00:32:14,030 --> 00:32:15,970
knowing all under heaven.

562
00:32:19,550 --> 00:32:20,690
Does that mean

563
00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:22,770
all script spirits obey your will?

564
00:32:23,230 --> 00:32:24,690
No wonder you're skilled at spinning tales.

565
00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:32,340
I'm deeply grateful to all of you for your help.

566
00:32:32,550 --> 00:32:34,380
I'll lead my clansmen to Yingcui Island to settle down.

567
00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:35,730
Farewell for now.

568
00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:41,860
Yingcui Island belongs to that great bird.

569
00:32:42,600 --> 00:32:44,180
Are you its descendant?

570
00:32:45,510 --> 00:32:46,860
I'm Lu Li, leader of the Jiufeng Clan,

571
00:32:47,230 --> 00:32:48,530
half-monster.

572
00:32:50,270 --> 00:32:51,660
Yingcui Island is thousands of miles away.

573
00:32:51,990 --> 00:32:53,210
You'll struggle to travel there.

574
00:32:53,550 --> 00:32:55,530
I'll give you a ride.

575
00:32:56,880 --> 00:32:57,690
Thanks, Mr. Yan.

576
00:32:58,200 --> 00:32:58,730
Old coot,

577
00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:00,010
you're tagging along.

578
00:33:00,470 --> 00:33:02,770
I'm going overseas to find answers.

579
00:33:04,600 --> 00:33:05,210
Young man,

580
00:33:06,270 --> 00:33:06,940
come over here.

581
00:33:07,270 --> 00:33:08,530
I need a word with you.

582
00:33:22,070 --> 00:33:23,490
You've got your old memories back,

583
00:33:24,710 --> 00:33:26,340
so you know who she is, right?

584
00:33:29,310 --> 00:33:30,210
So what if I know?

585
00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:33,450
I've only ever wanted her

586
00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:35,140
from day one.

587
00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:37,210
Can you protect her?

588
00:33:38,070 --> 00:33:38,900
You just want to

589
00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:41,290
lock her up for yourself.

590
00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:43,690
Your so-called love

591
00:33:44,070 --> 00:33:45,140
is poisoning her.

592
00:33:45,470 --> 00:33:46,420
Things will be different in this life.

593
00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:49,450
She might believe you

594
00:33:50,070 --> 00:33:51,100
a few times,

595
00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:54,620
but she'll see through you eventually.

596
00:33:59,030 --> 00:33:59,730
Riyan,

597
00:34:01,230 --> 00:34:02,180
you misunderstand her.

598
00:34:04,790 --> 00:34:05,820
Lifei is far from foolish.

599
00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:08,010
At times,

600
00:34:09,110 --> 00:34:10,010
she is even wiser than I am

601
00:34:11,510 --> 00:34:12,450
and is clear about her choices.

602
00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:20,820
Mark my words.

603
00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:22,970
If she suffers even the slightest injury,

604
00:34:25,510 --> 00:34:27,050
I will hold you accountable.

605
00:34:34,590 --> 00:34:35,530
Rest assured.

606
00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:37,700
I'll protect her with all I have.

607
00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:45,170
What are you two whispering about?

608
00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:48,940
You don't want to leave me?

609
00:34:49,630 --> 00:34:51,090
When I first met you,

610
00:34:51,510 --> 00:34:52,490
you were a fool.

611
00:34:53,380 --> 00:34:54,650
Now that I'm leaving,

612
00:34:55,340 --> 00:34:56,380
you still are.

613
00:34:59,240 --> 00:35:00,860
Just say it if you'll miss me.

614
00:35:01,590 --> 00:35:02,340
Enough,

615
00:35:02,470 --> 00:35:03,130
old fox.

616
00:35:03,420 --> 00:35:04,340
Let's go.

617
00:35:04,820 --> 00:35:06,380
Young folks have their own paths to walk.

618
00:35:06,780 --> 00:35:08,530
Let's stay out of this.

619
00:35:09,670 --> 00:35:10,300
True.

620
00:35:11,190 --> 00:35:11,970
I've slept far too long.

621
00:35:12,900 --> 00:35:14,780
Time to stretch my limbs.

622
00:35:26,780 --> 00:35:27,490
Girl,

623
00:35:27,670 --> 00:35:28,700
on your way back,

624
00:35:28,780 --> 00:35:30,260
visit the East Sea's cliff inscriptions.

625
00:35:32,110 --> 00:35:33,420
Did you leave a treasure for me?

626
00:35:46,670 --> 00:35:49,050
I wonder if Lifei managed to escape.

627
00:35:50,670 --> 00:35:51,380
Don't worry.

628
00:35:52,110 --> 00:35:53,130
She'll be fine

629
00:35:53,300 --> 00:35:54,380
with Xiuyuan by her side.

630
00:36:02,820 --> 00:36:03,740
Jiao said a witness

631
00:36:04,340 --> 00:36:06,220
claimed Lifei helped the monster clan run off.

632
00:36:07,900 --> 00:36:08,820
We promised we wouldn't...

633
00:36:13,380 --> 00:36:14,940
We promised we wouldn't leave any clues.

634
00:36:15,070 --> 00:36:15,780
Who ratted them out?

635
00:36:16,150 --> 00:36:17,010
No matter who it is,

636
00:36:17,470 --> 00:36:18,860
Lifei will be in trouble if she comes back.

637
00:36:22,590 --> 00:36:23,610
Then she'd better stay away

638
00:36:24,190 --> 00:36:25,700
and lie low somewhere.

639
00:36:27,980 --> 00:36:28,650
I'll go and find her.

640
00:36:50,590 --> 00:36:52,530
Our trip begins at Mount Man by the East Sea.

641
00:36:52,940 --> 00:36:54,300
Boundless ocean spreads out.

642
00:36:54,470 --> 00:36:55,780
By Qingcheng of Wuyue Court

643
00:36:56,300 --> 00:36:58,450
and Riyan of Qingqiu.

644
00:36:59,720 --> 00:37:02,130
Riyan was actually close with Elder Qingcheng.

645
00:37:03,820 --> 00:37:05,130
I never heard this before.

646
00:37:12,110 --> 00:37:14,170
Where do you reckon Elder Qingcheng ended up later?

647
00:37:15,190 --> 00:37:16,490
My master said

648
00:37:16,820 --> 00:37:18,340
he invented the Five Turtle Technique.

649
00:37:23,900 --> 00:37:24,610
It's late.

650
00:37:25,380 --> 00:37:26,610
Let's go home.

651
00:37:43,990 --> 00:37:46,010
I figured Riyan might've felt guilty

652
00:37:46,240 --> 00:37:47,530
and left me a spirit artifact.

653
00:37:48,070 --> 00:37:49,130
Total letdown.

654
00:37:50,110 --> 00:37:50,780
Xiuyuan,

655
00:37:51,380 --> 00:37:52,420
why'd you stick around?

656
00:37:53,940 --> 00:37:54,820
Because you stayed.

657
00:37:59,340 --> 00:38:00,940
You could've gone your separate way.

658
00:38:02,240 --> 00:38:02,940
After all,

659
00:38:04,110 --> 00:38:05,860
we can't stay together forever.

660
00:38:07,150 --> 00:38:08,010
Why can't we?

661
00:38:13,510 --> 00:38:14,340
Our bond won't fade.

662
00:38:15,670 --> 00:38:16,610
We won't leave each other, living or dead.

663
00:38:31,110 --> 00:38:31,700
Lifei,

664
00:38:34,150 --> 00:38:35,420
I want to be with you forever,

665
00:38:38,420 --> 00:38:39,050
in this lifetime,

666
00:38:40,510 --> 00:38:41,340
and every next one.

667
00:38:55,550 --> 00:38:56,530
What're you talking about?

668
00:39:02,900 --> 00:39:03,650
Nothing much.

669
00:39:04,630 --> 00:39:05,450
What brings you here?

670
00:39:05,980 --> 00:39:07,610
They say you worked with the monster clan

671
00:39:07,630 --> 00:39:08,340
and broke them out of prison.

672
00:39:08,670 --> 00:39:09,860
Don't head back to Duanming City.

673
00:39:10,550 --> 00:39:11,820
I covered our tracks the whole trip.

674
00:39:12,820 --> 00:39:13,740
Who ratted her out?

675
00:39:14,340 --> 00:39:14,900
No clue.

676
00:39:15,240 --> 00:39:16,090
The elders plan

677
00:39:16,110 --> 00:39:17,380
to question Lifei severely.

678
00:39:21,190 --> 00:39:21,940
This is bad.

679
00:39:22,380 --> 00:39:23,900
Hide out with me at Xingzheng Hall for now.

680
00:39:24,590 --> 00:39:25,820
Running off now

681
00:39:26,590 --> 00:39:27,940
would make me look guilty on the run.

682
00:39:29,820 --> 00:39:31,170
I didn't slip up at all last night.

683
00:39:31,190 --> 00:39:32,260
I'll just deny it.

684
00:39:32,940 --> 00:39:33,860
It won't be easy to get away with.

685
00:39:34,420 --> 00:39:35,530
Cuixuan and my uncle

686
00:39:35,780 --> 00:39:37,010
will see right through our lies.

687
00:39:37,460 --> 00:39:39,570
What if they torture you to talk?

688
00:39:39,900 --> 00:39:41,050
They wouldn't do that.

689
00:39:41,720 --> 00:39:43,450
Those sect elders

690
00:39:43,780 --> 00:39:46,170
torture a weak girl

691
00:39:46,190 --> 00:39:47,170
to get a fake confession?

692
00:39:47,380 --> 00:39:48,570
That's cruel.

693
00:39:49,190 --> 00:39:50,220
And it'll be very embarrassing

694
00:39:50,670 --> 00:39:52,050
if everyone finds out.

695
00:39:55,070 --> 00:39:55,860
But what if they do?

696
00:39:56,550 --> 00:39:57,420
We'll team up

697
00:39:57,550 --> 00:39:58,490
and get through anything.

698
00:40:08,820 --> 00:40:10,420
I hunted monster beasts all night

699
00:40:10,510 --> 00:40:11,530
and did my job properly.

700
00:40:11,670 --> 00:40:12,900
How do I suddenly become a demon spy?

701
00:40:14,190 --> 00:40:14,820
Mr. Luo,

702
00:40:15,190 --> 00:40:16,860
we met last night, didn't we?

703
00:40:17,240 --> 00:40:18,530
I saw you last night,

704
00:40:19,190 --> 00:40:20,420
but you reeked

705
00:40:20,630 --> 00:40:21,820
of evil spiritual energy back then.

706
00:40:23,820 --> 00:40:24,820
That just means

707
00:40:25,030 --> 00:40:26,820
I was fighting monster beasts hard.

708
00:40:29,670 --> 00:40:31,010
Lifei stuck with the group

709
00:40:31,510 --> 00:40:32,490
and hunted monster beasts

710
00:40:32,980 --> 00:40:33,740
straight through till morning.

711
00:40:34,630 --> 00:40:35,820
You two have long been close friends.

712
00:40:35,940 --> 00:40:36,740
You might be lying

713
00:40:36,940 --> 00:40:37,820
to cover for one another.

714
00:40:39,030 --> 00:40:39,740
Qin,

715
00:40:40,420 --> 00:40:42,300
you mean we're covering each other,

716
00:40:43,030 --> 00:40:44,820
and that makes me a spy, too?

717
00:40:48,980 --> 00:40:51,450
I followed the evil spiritual energy last night

718
00:40:51,940 --> 00:40:53,300
and was jumped halfway.

719
00:40:53,900 --> 00:40:54,940
Jiang Lifei's the one

720
00:40:55,340 --> 00:40:56,490
who attacked me.

721
00:40:57,980 --> 00:40:58,740
Qin,

722
00:40:58,980 --> 00:41:00,380
you've hated me ever since what happened

723
00:41:00,420 --> 00:41:01,420
at Lilie Valley.

724
00:41:01,940 --> 00:41:03,130
If you want to get even,

725
00:41:03,240 --> 00:41:04,340
fight me fair and square.

726
00:41:05,070 --> 00:41:07,130
Quit stabbing me in the back.

727
00:41:07,460 --> 00:41:08,340
You're disgracing Wuyue Court

728
00:41:08,380 --> 00:41:09,490
and Elder Cuixuan.

729
00:41:09,720 --> 00:41:10,130
You!

730
00:41:10,150 --> 00:41:10,970
Yangling,

731
00:41:11,820 --> 00:41:13,970
you said she attacked you.

732
00:41:15,380 --> 00:41:16,420
Got any evidence?

733
00:41:16,900 --> 00:41:17,610
I'm sure

734
00:41:18,240 --> 00:41:20,300
that energy is definitely hers.

735
00:41:22,510 --> 00:41:23,380
Qin,

736
00:41:23,980 --> 00:41:25,050
I didn't know

737
00:41:25,470 --> 00:41:26,740
you thought about me so much

738
00:41:26,780 --> 00:41:27,490
that you see me

739
00:41:27,510 --> 00:41:28,420
in everyone now.

740
00:41:29,720 --> 00:41:31,340
She's the demon spy.

741
00:41:37,070 --> 00:41:37,650
It's her!

742
00:41:37,940 --> 00:41:39,450
She dressed up like one of us from the Wanxian Sect

743
00:41:39,720 --> 00:41:41,010
and knocked us out with drugs.

744
00:41:41,420 --> 00:41:42,530
Did you actually see me drug you?

745
00:41:43,150 --> 00:41:44,740
No, we didn't.

746
00:41:45,470 --> 00:41:46,340
But right after you walked past,

747
00:41:46,550 --> 00:41:47,380
we passed out.

748
00:41:48,460 --> 00:41:50,300
You were all lazing around

749
00:41:50,340 --> 00:41:51,010
and sleeping on duty.

750
00:41:51,030 --> 00:41:51,820
That's why the monster beasts got away.

751
00:41:51,860 --> 00:41:52,420
Now

752
00:41:52,820 --> 00:41:53,490
you're scared of taking the blame,

753
00:41:53,590 --> 00:41:54,380
so you lie and pin it on me?

754
00:41:55,150 --> 00:41:55,820
Well... I...

755
00:41:56,590 --> 00:41:57,490
Speaking of which,

756
00:41:57,720 --> 00:41:59,220
you really did have

757
00:41:59,240 --> 00:42:00,970
our Wanxian Sect outer robe on that night.

758
00:42:01,300 --> 00:42:02,090
Why was that?

759
00:42:06,460 --> 00:42:07,260
This is all on me.

760
00:42:09,470 --> 00:42:10,530
Lifei only took

761
00:42:10,720 --> 00:42:11,780
such a risky action to visit

762
00:42:13,340 --> 00:42:14,340
my uncle for my sake.

763
00:42:14,470 --> 00:42:16,090
You're from Wuyue Court.

764
00:42:16,240 --> 00:42:17,340
What were you doing

765
00:42:17,720 --> 00:42:19,700
visiting Mr. Xuanshan late at night?

766
00:42:27,550 --> 00:42:28,970
I wanted to form a cultivation partnership with Lifei,

767
00:42:29,720 --> 00:42:31,010
but I feared that my uncle wouldn't agree.

768
00:42:33,340 --> 00:42:34,450
She panicked

769
00:42:34,860 --> 00:42:36,050
and went straight in to ask why.
