00:15:21,430 --> 00:15:26,340
Kill me, and you can keep being

178
00:15:26,340 --> 00:15:30,900
the fair representative of justice.

179
00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:38,160
Mu Xuanling, it's time to go.

180
00:15:39,340 --> 00:15:41,370
He has finally made up his mind.

181
00:15:41,950 --> 00:15:45,380
Taking advice always brings benefits.

182
00:15:47,210 --> 00:15:48,900
Let's go.

183
00:16:02,670 --> 00:16:07,400
Although Miss Mu is the Saintess of the Dark Domain, she didn't do anything evil.

184
00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:11,070
Dealing with her in this manner is too cruel.

185
00:16:13,420 --> 00:16:15,310
Thankfully, I didn't tell A'Bao.

186
00:16:15,310 --> 00:16:18,660
If she found out, she'd be heartbroken.

187
00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:22,980
Nan Xuyue, why don't we leave?

188
00:16:22,980 --> 00:16:25,140
It's too cruel to stay here and watch the execution.

189
00:16:25,140 --> 00:16:26,910
They are here.

190
00:16:33,190 --> 00:16:35,770
City Lord, we brought her here.

191
00:16:48,950 --> 00:16:51,190
Do you have any last words?

192
00:16:54,670 --> 00:16:56,270
Yes.

193
00:16:57,970 --> 00:17:02,160
Your injury... has it healed?

194
00:17:07,500 --> 00:17:09,200
It's fully healed.

195
00:17:12,260 --> 00:17:14,410
I'm relieved.

196
00:17:15,460 --> 00:17:17,260
Let's begin.

197
00:18:12,540 --> 00:18:14,980
City Lord Xie, what is the meaning of this?

198
00:18:14,980 --> 00:18:17,040
Why didn't you kill her right away?

199
00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:19,230
I expelled her demonic power

200
00:18:19,230 --> 00:18:22,030
and will imprison her in Snow City for a thousand years.

201
00:18:22,030 --> 00:18:23,780
That is enough.

202
00:18:23,780 --> 00:18:25,460
She is the Saintess of the Dark Domain.

203
00:18:25,460 --> 00:18:28,710
That alone is enough to sentence her to death.

204
00:18:28,710 --> 00:18:31,780
City Lord Xie, this will be hard to justify to everyone.

205
00:18:31,780 --> 00:18:36,710
Especially the cultivators of the Suspended Sky Sect who'll be bitterly disappointed.

206
00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:53,470
Miss Mu was controlled by demonic energy that day.

207
00:18:53,470 --> 00:18:57,570
She even stopped Ignorance Shadow after regaining her senses.

208
00:18:57,570 --> 00:18:59,510
Her heart is kind.

209
00:18:59,510 --> 00:19:01,470
The dead are gone.

210
00:19:01,470 --> 00:19:07,370
Those who are alive should decide on how to deal with her.

211
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:14,585
If City Lord Xie won't kill her, I will.

212
00:19:14,585 --> 00:19:16,710
Master!

213
00:19:23,710 --> 00:19:26,320
This is Snow City.

214
00:19:29,700 --> 00:19:32,220
This is my decision.

215
00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:41,460
City Lord Xie, are you publicly shielding her?

216
00:19:42,900 --> 00:19:45,470
Protecting the guilty is called shielding.

217
00:19:45,470 --> 00:19:49,460
But Mu Xuanling... is innocent.

218
00:19:49,460 --> 00:19:51,120
Innocent?

219
00:19:51,810 --> 00:19:54,150
City Lord Xie, what do you mean by this?

220
00:19:55,090 --> 00:19:57,090
Since the Dark Domain,

221
00:19:57,910 --> 00:20:00,230
Mu Xuanling has been helping me

222
00:20:00,230 --> 00:20:04,900
and Immortal Alliance to recover the jade token, uncovering traitors,

223
00:20:04,900 --> 00:20:06,840
and eliminating the three Shadows.

224
00:20:07,410 --> 00:20:10,710
She was even willing to sacrifice her life.

225
00:20:10,710 --> 00:20:12,780
For someone like her,

226
00:20:12,780 --> 00:20:17,780
if the Immortal Alliance convicts and kills her based on her identity,

227
00:20:17,780 --> 00:20:20,470
Immortal Alliance will be at fault.

228
00:20:20,470 --> 00:20:23,950
I do not agree, nor will I comply.

229
00:20:23,950 --> 00:20:26,270
City Lord Xie, don't distinguish between good and evil!

230
00:20:26,270 --> 00:20:29,710
Palace Master Su, is your way of judgment the absolute truth?

231
00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:52,800
I, Xie Xuechen, live by my principles and make my own judgments.

232
00:21:11,120 --> 00:21:16,600
Expelling Mu Xuanling's demonic power is not a punishment

233
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:19,980
but a means to help her to completely leave the Dark Domain.

234
00:21:19,980 --> 00:21:25,040
Imprisoning her for a thousand years is to settle the past.

235
00:21:38,540 --> 00:21:45,180
From today, Mu Xuanling is a member of Snow City.

236
00:21:56,990 --> 00:21:59,980
I didn't expect City Lord Xie to be a compassionate person.

237
00:21:59,980 --> 00:22:03,940
Miss Mu's survival is truly a blessing.

238
00:22:06,270 --> 00:22:09,100
It's indeed a good thing.

239
00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:21,100
Young Master, congratulations on successfully refining the Retreat Array.

240
00:22:24,260 --> 00:22:26,760
The world respects killing arrays

241
00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:31,090
but few realize protection arrays are the hardest to refine.

242
00:22:31,090 --> 00:22:32,990
If one cannot become the strongest,

243
00:22:32,990 --> 00:22:36,830
being able to escape from powerful enemies with such arrays

244
00:22:36,830 --> 00:22:38,510
is a supreme strategy.

245
00:22:38,510 --> 00:22:42,120
Once this array is activated, the user will expend a lot of energy.

246
00:22:42,120 --> 00:22:45,660
Young Master, use this carefully only for life and death situations.

247
00:22:46,190 --> 00:22:49,370
Fate also determines life and death.

248
00:22:49,370 --> 00:22:52,220
So why bother escaping with an array?

249
00:22:52,220 --> 00:22:58,090
Perhaps this array will never be activated.

250
00:23:01,430 --> 00:23:06,270
An array I thought that wouldn't be used, was almost activated.

251
00:23:06,270 --> 00:23:10,470
A person I thought that I lost, was reunited.

252
00:23:10,980 --> 00:23:17,320
Mu Xuanling, keeping you alive is also my decision.

253
00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:24,780
♫ If not, how can we recognize each other's eyes? ♫

254
00:23:24,780 --> 00:23:26,980
[Swirling Snow Pavilion]

255
00:23:26,980 --> 00:23:32,440
♫ In the song-filled wilderness, watching the moon in the candlelight ♫

256
00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:36,220
Mu Xuanling, I'm sorry.

257
00:23:37,060 --> 00:23:39,640
I didn't give you the chance to choose.

258
00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:42,020
♫ When your peach blossom face turns to me ♫

259
00:23:42,020 --> 00:23:46,660
♫ It's like the warm wind kissing the fields ♫

♫ Please follow me to watch the fireworks in the world ♫

♫ Because you're still... ♫

270
00:24:27,710 --> 00:24:29,630
I asked her...

271
00:24:30,371 --> 00:24:34,160
if she was willing to follow me to live in seclusion at Profound Excellence Villa.

272
00:24:34,710 --> 00:24:38,610
For your sake, she declined.

273
00:24:38,610 --> 00:24:40,780
There's another way.

274
00:24:40,780 --> 00:24:44,840
Expelling her demonic power would prevent it from attacking her.

275
00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:47,510
It's very dangerous to scatter internal energy.

276
00:24:47,510 --> 00:24:50,090
For a Spirit Clan member with damaged spiritual apertures,

277
00:24:50,090 --> 00:24:53,990
it will eventually lead to decay of the body and death.

278
00:24:53,990 --> 00:24:58,560
If she has the protection of the Jade Archway Technique, she casurvive.

279
00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:00,900
This is another secret.

280
00:25:04,950 --> 00:25:06,900
Ten years ago,

281
00:25:07,510 --> 00:25:11,470
my father found me severely injured and dying at Bright Moon Villa.

282
00:25:11,470 --> 00:25:13,700
At that time, my spiritual apertures were destroyed.

283
00:25:13,700 --> 00:25:18,710
A human body needs the opening of yin and yang apertures

284
00:25:18,710 --> 00:25:20,250
to reach peak physical condition.

285
00:25:20,250 --> 00:25:23,850
Only then can the spiritual apertures be opened for cultivation.

286
00:25:23,850 --> 00:25:25,600
If your spiritual apertures were destroyed,

287
00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:28,030
how did you reach the pinnacle of the Spiritual Form stage?

288
00:25:28,030 --> 00:25:32,510
The Xie family fought tirelessly for generations and often suffered from injuries.

289
00:25:32,510 --> 00:25:35,660
Thus, we trained in healing techniques from a young age.

290
00:25:36,430 --> 00:25:39,320
At the brink of death, I was enlightened by the Jade Archway Technique.

291
00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:42,080
I regained my spiritual apertures with three days.

292
00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:44,500
Not only was my cultivation intact, it also improved.

293
00:25:44,980 --> 00:25:49,570
The Jade Archway Technique is that effective?

294
00:25:51,030 --> 00:25:55,600
So, you intend to open her spiritual apertures?

295
00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:57,410
Yes.

296
00:25:57,410 --> 00:26:00,510
She'll be able to cultivate spiritual power with the spiritual apertures.

297
00:26:00,510 --> 00:26:03,360
She'll no longer suffer from being consumed by demonic energy,

298
00:26:03,360 --> 00:26:07,670
fear the scorching sun, or return to the Dark Domain.

299
00:26:07,670 --> 00:26:12,090
She can live honorably in the human realm.

300
00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:19,290
Granting spiritual apertures to the Spirit Clan

301
00:26:19,290 --> 00:26:22,620
could change the balance of the three realms.

302
00:26:22,620 --> 00:26:24,120
But...

303
00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:27,220
what does it matter?

304
00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:32,270
Mu Xuanling, live well.

305
00:26:32,270 --> 00:26:35,250
Keep being that interesting person

306
00:26:35,250 --> 00:26:40,300
who adds novelties to this boring world.

307
00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:49,470
Mu Xuanling!

308
00:26:50,510 --> 00:26:54,190
- Mu Xuanling. 
 - Xie Xuechen, I'm cold.

309
00:27:20,710 --> 00:27:24,370
Mu Xuanling, hang in there.

310
00:27:24,370 --> 00:27:27,020
Endure for three days.

311
00:27:27,020 --> 00:27:31,800
I'll take you to see the human realm after three days.

312
00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:33,760
All right?

313
00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:03,510
I just watched a new batch of Spirit Clan warriors battling.

314
00:28:03,510 --> 00:28:07,030
They've been fighting for hours without a winner.

315
00:28:07,030 --> 00:28:09,890
What a disappointing group.

316
00:28:09,890 --> 00:28:12,300
If you ask me, in terms of ruthlessness and decisiveness,

317
00:28:12,300 --> 00:28:15,090
they're far inferior to the Saintess back then.

318
00:28:19,980 --> 00:28:21,470
What are you doing?

319
00:28:21,470 --> 00:28:23,230
Do you want to fight, too?

320
00:28:23,230 --> 00:28:24,840
Bring it on!

321
00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:28,280
Shut up. You still dare to mention the Saintess.

322
00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:30,640
His Grace has been in a bad mood for the past two days

323
00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:33,770
because the Saintess would rather die than return to the Dark Domain.

324
00:28:33,770 --> 00:28:37,120
You still dare to mention her? Are you seeking death?

325
00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:41,990
Ignorance Shadow, you're back.

326
00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:46,320
Ignorance Shadow, you're impressive!

327
00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:50,610
You just detonated Fa Jian's five hundred years of golden essence.

328
00:28:50,610 --> 00:28:52,720
This spirit of self-destruction...

329
00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:55,670
I admire it very much!

330
00:29:00,410 --> 00:29:06,900
In just a few days, my cultivation has reached such heights?

331
00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:11,390
Ignorance Shadow, you self-destructed your golden essence and even injured your true form.

332
00:29:11,390 --> 00:29:13,810
What a lose-lose situation.

333
00:29:13,810 --> 00:29:16,360
You're truly remarkable.

334
00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:19,180
I'll kill Xie Xuechen sooner or later.

335
00:29:19,180 --> 00:29:22,230
Enough with the big talk.

336
00:29:22,230 --> 00:29:24,130
Go and soak in the Void Sea.

337
00:29:24,130 --> 00:29:28,770
I don't like companions who are too weak.

338
00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:36,570
I just came out of the Void Sea and it feels very strange.

339
00:29:36,570 --> 00:29:39,940
The demonic energy in the Void Sea is surging today.

340
00:29:39,940 --> 00:29:45,680
It seems like something is going to happen.

341
00:30:06,460 --> 00:30:08,750
How long do we have to stay here?

342
00:30:08,750 --> 00:30:11,830
I'm not used to this icy and snowy place.

343
00:30:13,170 --> 00:30:15,710
Ignorance Shadow detonated Venerable Fa Jian's golden essence.

344
00:30:15,710 --> 00:30:18,900
There are cracks in the Pearl Tower and defense has been weakened.

345
00:30:18,900 --> 00:30:21,030
All sects need to guard the Chaos Pearl.

346
00:30:21,030 --> 00:30:23,510
How can we leave at this time?

347
00:30:23,510 --> 00:30:26,750
Snow City sent half of its disciples to guard the tower.

348
00:30:26,750 --> 00:30:29,840
How long will it take to repair the Pearl Tower?

349
00:30:30,420 --> 00:30:35,230
Although the artifact will heal on its own, it'll still take more than ten days.

350
00:30:35,230 --> 00:30:38,110
That long? Isn't City Lord Xie thinking of a solution?

351
00:30:38,110 --> 00:30:42,600
Speaking of him, I heard he carried Mu Xuanling back to his room

352
00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:44,900
and hasn't left for three days and nights.

353
00:30:44,900 --> 00:30:49,710
Will Snow City have a mistress from the Spirit Clan?

354
00:30:49,710 --> 00:30:54,220
The dignified City Lord of Snow City is even besotted with a witch.

355
00:30:54,220 --> 00:30:57,430
If word gets out, it will be very disgraceful.

356
00:30:57,430 --> 00:30:59,940
If anyone's reputation is ruined, it is Snow City's.

357
00:30:59,940 --> 00:31:03,190
Even Xie Xuechen hasn't said anything. Why are you both so concerned?

358
00:31:03,190 --> 00:31:06,180
Cultivator Gao, we were just casually chatting.

359
00:31:06,180 --> 00:31:10,030
Besides, it's not only us. The other sects are gossiping, too.

360
00:31:10,030 --> 00:31:12,800
If the other sects gossip, does it mean Mirage Palace should follow suit?

361
00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:16,080
Cultivator Gao, Xuechen harmed your father back then.

362
00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:18,560
How can you still defend him?

363
00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:21,090
What do you want me to do? Should I kill him for revenge?

364
00:31:21,090 --> 00:31:22,810
He also saved me back then.

365
00:31:22,810 --> 00:31:24,120
Talking about possession by the Dark Clan,

366
00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:26,700
I was also possessed by War Shadow at Profound Excellence Villa.

367
00:31:26,700 --> 00:31:29,330
If War Shadow had succeeded back then, do I need to pay with my life?

368
00:31:29,330 --> 00:31:30,710
That's...

369
00:31:31,260 --> 00:31:32,800
that's not what I meant.

370
00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:35,750
Regardless, Mirage Palace doesn't gossip behind people's backs.

371
00:31:35,750 --> 00:31:37,740
Senior Sisters, you should be more careful.

372
00:31:37,740 --> 00:31:40,750
If gossiping makes you full, why not let me eat this instead?

373
00:31:41,780 --> 00:31:44,780
You helped your enemy. Your family deserves to be ruined.

374
00:31:46,260 --> 00:31:51,860
[Swirling Snow Pavilion]

375
00:32:56,220 --> 00:32:57,850
You're awake.

376
00:32:58,800 --> 00:33:02,840
You maintained my life and also handled official duties.

377
00:33:02,840 --> 00:33:05,260
You stayed awake for three days and nights.

378
00:33:05,260 --> 00:33:07,510
Aren't you afraid of exhausting yourself to death?

379
00:33:07,510 --> 00:33:09,740
Your body hasn't fully recovered.

380
00:33:09,740 --> 00:33:11,750
You should rest more.

381
00:33:22,670 --> 00:33:25,120
The sunlight today is beautiful.

382
00:33:25,120 --> 00:33:28,750
I thought I was destined to die.

383
00:33:35,710 --> 00:33:40,200
My demonic power is gone. Why am I still alive?

384
00:33:42,230 --> 00:33:44,230
How did you do it?

385
00:33:48,460 --> 00:33:50,840
It's simply fate sparing your life.

386
00:33:57,980 --> 00:33:59,980
You don't want to tell me?

387
00:34:01,610 --> 00:34:04,090
You won't say but I know...

388
00:34:04,090 --> 00:34:06,230
it must not have been simple.

389
00:34:07,780 --> 00:34:09,890
I think I asked you before.

390
00:34:09,890 --> 00:34:14,660
If I were to give up my demonic power and be an ordinary person,

391
00:34:14,660 --> 00:34:16,970
would you protect me?

392
00:34:18,740 --> 00:34:21,200
I think I have my answer now.

393
00:34:33,680 --> 00:34:35,400
What should we do?

394
00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:40,070
I'm now known as a beauty who brings disaster. You're known for being biased towards me.

395
00:34:40,070 --> 00:34:44,490
But I have a bad reputation in the first place. I don't mind this extra label...

396
00:34:45,530 --> 00:34:47,510
but you've suffered a big loss.

397
00:34:47,510 --> 00:34:51,760
You gained nothing and even lost your integrity.

398
00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:57,460
Why not just claim me as yours?

399
00:34:57,460 --> 00:34:59,800
It might make up for some of your losses.

400
00:35:01,220 --> 00:35:05,700
Your body has just recovered and your mouth's running wild.

401
00:35:09,430 --> 00:35:11,400
Are you honest, then?

402
00:35:12,260 --> 00:35:14,240
A Spiritual Form cultivator lives a thousand years.

403
00:35:14,240 --> 00:35:16,550
The Spirit Clan also lives a thousand years.

404
00:35:17,240 --> 00:35:19,990
You sentenced me to be imprisoned here for a thousand years.

405
00:35:19,990 --> 00:35:21,880
What's on your mind?

406
00:35:21,880 --> 00:35:24,200
Do you plan to protect me for the rest of your life?

407
00:35:24,858 --> 00:35:26,698
It was just a coincidence.

408
00:35:28,490 --> 00:35:31,250
Will you put a Spirit Lock on me?

409
00:35:31,250 --> 00:35:32,820
No.

410
00:35:35,590 --> 00:35:37,990
Will you place restrictions on me?

411
00:35:37,990 --> 00:35:39,660
No.

412
00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:43,390
How do you plan to imprison me?

413
00:35:46,550 --> 00:35:50,110
Since you've recovered, you'll leave the mountain tomorrow.

414
00:35:50,110 --> 00:35:51,850
You want to send me away?

415
00:35:54,680 --> 00:35:56,680
I'm taking you to see the human realm.

416
00:36:00,450 --> 00:36:02,640
I still have matters to handle.

417
00:36:03,430 --> 00:36:05,150
Rest well.

418
00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:22,100
Mu Xuanling, I didn't expect you would have moments of gains and losses.

419
00:36:22,100 --> 00:36:27,470
The strong become weak, the wise become foolish.

420
00:36:28,220 --> 00:36:31,150
Nan Xuyue was indeed right.

421
00:36:32,760 --> 00:36:35,070
Love has truly misled me.

422
00:36:47,880 --> 00:36:50,990
Your disciples told me that after days of meditation,

423
00:36:50,990 --> 00:36:55,000
you're finally willing to explain why your faith collapsed.

424
00:36:56,550 --> 00:36:59,680
A few years ago, I met someone...

425
00:36:59,680 --> 00:37:04,210
someone who stirred up inner demons in me.

426
00:37:04,210 --> 00:37:06,070
Who?

427
00:37:06,070 --> 00:37:08,300
The Pavilion Master of Decaying Immortal Pavilion.

428
00:37:14,550 --> 00:37:17,950
Demons can never be fully wiped out.

429
00:37:17,950 --> 00:37:21,270
But have you ever considered why, among all the ways in the world,

430
00:37:21,270 --> 00:37:23,080
only the faith of your Suspended Sky Sect

431
00:37:23,080 --> 00:37:26,180
can guide people to eliminate inner demons?

432
00:37:27,030 --> 00:37:32,000
It shows that heaven bestowed great responsibility on Suspended Sky Sect.

433
00:37:34,680 --> 00:37:36,720
If everyone joins Suspended Sky Sect, 
 [Pavilion Master of Decaying Immortal Pavilion]

434
00:37:36,720 --> 00:37:40,720
chants the scriptures to know their hearts, returns to their true selves,

435
00:37:40,720 --> 00:37:44,760
frees themselves from selfish desires and escapes the pain of unfulfilled longings,

436
00:37:44,760 --> 00:37:48,850
there will be no love or pain in this world.

437
00:37:48,850 --> 00:37:51,330
There won't be any inner demons, either.

438
00:37:58,620 --> 00:38:01,350
You even believed him?

439
00:38:01,350 --> 00:38:03,950
I wanted to forget his words...

440
00:38:04,610 --> 00:38:09,920
but I don't know why. The harder I tried, I couldn't forget them.

441
00:38:09,920 --> 00:38:14,630
As days and nights turned, as seasons changed,

442
00:38:14,630 --> 00:38:21,340
his words would occasionally echo in my ears.

443
00:38:21,340 --> 00:38:27,240
I gradually felt his guidance was correct.

444
00:38:27,240 --> 00:38:29,720
So, you conspired with the Decaying Immortal Pavilion and the Dark Clan

445
00:38:29,720 --> 00:38:31,900
to expand the power of Suspended Sky Sect

446
00:38:31,900 --> 00:38:34,590
and make the world follow your path.

447
00:38:34,590 --> 00:38:37,200
One becomes a Buddha with a single thought.

448
00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:39,030
One becomes a demon with a single thought.

449
00:38:39,030 --> 00:38:42,630
You want everyone to follow the faith of the Suspended Sky Sect

450
00:38:42,630 --> 00:38:45,030
but have you ever asked if they're willing?

451
00:38:45,030 --> 00:38:47,950
What if they prefer love and hate, the pain of unfulfilled desires,

452
00:38:47,950 --> 00:38:49,800
suffering and drowning in their desires?

453
00:38:49,800 --> 00:38:52,570
You want them to follow the faith of the Suspended Sky Sect

454
00:38:52,570 --> 00:38:54,760
but how long can they keep it up?

455
00:38:54,760 --> 00:38:57,030
Wouldn't their hearts grow bitter?

456
00:38:57,030 --> 00:38:59,200
The Suspended Sky Sect currently has many disciples.

457
00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:03,360
Just like what you said, how many have truly transcended?

458
00:39:03,360 --> 00:39:08,510
Isn't there another way to eliminate inner demons in this world?

459
00:39:08,510 --> 00:39:12,890
I once thought demons arise from the heart.

460
00:39:12,890 --> 00:39:14,990
They're like shadows.

461
00:39:14,990 --> 00:39:17,370
Shadows exist...

462
00:39:18,340 --> 00:39:21,030
because we live in the light.

463
00:39:21,030 --> 00:39:24,200
When the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, the shadows grow longer.

464
00:39:24,200 --> 00:39:26,800
When the sun is at its peak, the shadows grow shorter.

465
00:39:26,800 --> 00:39:28,710
The true way to defeat demons

466
00:39:28,710 --> 00:39:31,180
is to create a flourishing era of peace and prosperity

467
00:39:31,180 --> 00:39:33,400
where everyone can live in peace and joy.

468
00:39:33,400 --> 00:39:37,250
There won't be any place for inner demons.

469
00:39:44,580 --> 00:39:51,230
But how to achieve such an era is an eternal challenge.

470
00:39:54,360 --> 00:39:59,640
The more I witness this, the more I feel that the Human Clan has lost its path.

471
00:40:00,260 --> 00:40:02,400
Under the rule of Immortal Alliance,

472
00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:05,270
the Human Clan have become more stable and prosperous.

473
00:40:05,920 --> 00:40:10,360
But in contrast, the Spirit Clan has been driven to a cold and bitter place,

474
00:40:10,360 --> 00:40:14,500
enslaved or oppressed and filled with hatred.

475
00:40:15,460 --> 00:40:20,360
A world where one side dominates is not a safe place for others.

476
00:40:23,920 --> 00:40:28,165
Thus, what must be done now is not to stop killing with more killing

477
00:40:28,165 --> 00:40:33,250
but to find the right balance for coexistence, and embrace harmony in diversity.

478
00:40:42,360 --> 00:40:45,500
City Lord Xie, thank you for clearing my confusion.

479
00:40:47,900 --> 00:40:51,320
I've three questions which need answers.

480
00:40:51,320 --> 00:40:52,630
Please speak, City Lord.

481
00:40:52,630 --> 00:40:54,230
First,

482
00:40:55,430 --> 00:40:57,800
where's the Pavilion Master of Decaying Immortal Pavilion?

483
00:40:57,800 --> 00:40:59,430
I don't know.

484
00:41:01,320 --> 00:41:02,870
Second,

485
00:41:03,680 --> 00:41:07,610
I was attacked on the night the sects arrived in Snow City.

486
00:41:07,610 --> 00:41:09,760
The attacker wore black robes and a mask.

487
00:41:09,760 --> 00:41:11,240
His cultivation was above the Spirit Manifestation level

488
00:41:11,240 --> 00:41:12,500
but below the Spiritual Form stage.

489
00:41:12,500 --> 00:41:14,950
He was likely from the Decaying Immortal Pavilion.

490
00:41:14,950 --> 00:41:16,530
Who was he?

491
00:41:17,680 --> 00:41:21,740
The Pavilion Master of Decaying Immortal Pavilion has an extremely trusted envoy

492
00:41:21,740 --> 00:41:23,430
whose cultivation is above the Spirit Manifestation level.

493
00:41:23,430 --> 00:41:27,950
But his face has always been hidden behind a black mask.

494
00:41:28,430 --> 00:41:30,150
I don't know who he is.

495
00:41:30,150 --> 00:41:32,460
Forgive me for not being able to help you.

496
00:41:34,680 --> 00:41:38,140
City Lord, please ask the third question.

497
00:41:45,320 --> 00:41:47,270
As for the third question,

498
00:41:48,570 --> 00:41:50,610
the answer lies with you.

499
00:41:57,730 --> 00:42:05,010
All crises that have befallen the Immortal Alliance are entirely my fault.

500
00:42:07,100 --> 00:42:10,130
I am guilty beyond redemption.

501
00:42:10,950 --> 00:42:18,320
My senior brother has passed away. I bear this heavy sin.

502
00:42:20,880 --> 00:42:24,280
I hope that taking into account Suspended Sky Sect's merits

503
00:42:24,280 --> 00:42:30,390
for resisting the Dark Clan for many years, you won't pursue this further.

504
00:42:33,590 --> 00:42:35,040
All right.

00:44:32,520 --> 00:44:36,642
♫ Gazing into the eyes of that person ♫

525
00:44:36,642 --> 00:44:39,020
♫ I desire nothing else ♫

526
00:44:39,020 --> 00:44:41,609
♫ I'll live a life without regrets or worries  ♫

527
00:44:41,609 --> 00:44:46,500
♫ As long as I'm by your side ♫
