Original subtitles

You used the old man's corpse as a puppet.

Going to such great lengths,

what is your ultimate purpose?

You shouldn't meddle in this.

Xuanwu.

Don't be careless.

It really is you.

Are you out of tricks?

I borrowed this body

just to carry out justice for heaven.

Marshal Geng's heartless crimes of burning, killing, and looting,

every single one of them...

If I told you,

I'm afraid you wouldn't even be able to hold your sword steady.

The debts of the fathers

shouldn't be paid by these children.

You used the red thread to steal their lifespans for yourself.

My sword will show no mercy today.

Stealing lifespans.

Can you really see the things on the red thread?

Since you are so stubborn,

I will finish you off today as well.

You destroyed my work again.

In a head-on clash with Xuanwu,

its power far exceeds mine.

I must find its weak spot.

Found it.

Xuanwu, cover me.

Oh no. Has my weak spot been discovered?

Old Mrs. Zhang,

your lifespan has ended.

Go peacefully into reincarnation.

Didn't I burn this doll?

Old Madam, why did you come out?

Quickly escort the Old Madam back to her room.

Don't let outsiders laugh at us.

Being in such a hurry to avoid me,

there must be something fishy.

Miss Shen.

The Marshal heard that you destroyed the evil spirit

and specially prepared a banquet.

Miss Shen, if it weren't for you today,

my two sons would probably have died in there.

The two young masters are fine now.

Of course.

Then why don't I see them?

The female family members took them to the villa in the suburbs.

Staying there for a while to rest

is better than anything.

I'm clumsy with words and can't say anything fancy.

From now on, whatever you ask,

I won't hesitate.

I'll drink this cup first out of respect.

There's no need to thank me.

I've done what I promised Master Shen.

I'll take my leave now.

Miss Shen.

Are you too tired?

I'll help you to the guest room to rest right now.

The good show is about to begin.

I heard this body can continuously regenerate flesh and blood.

I originally wanted to hire a Feng Shui master just for show,

but I didn't expect to run into such a stunning treasure.

Xuanwu.

That big sister is really amazing.

We need to act quickly.

We can't be delayed by her.

Aren't you going to show yourself?

Father.

My good daughter,

is this how you treat your father?

Could you have lived until now without me?

To extend your own life,

you colluded with evil spirits.

You treat your children as puppets to extend your life.

Third brother, fourth brother, and eldest sister...

You sucked away their lifespans one by one.

It's time to settle this score today.

I still prefer the way you look now.

I created you.

You're too green to fight me.

Come out, sister.

It's you.

Sister.

Please save my sister and brother.

It's you.

Every year of time you stole

is howling under your bark.

Yin and Yang have order.

Life and death are destined.

You forcibly extend your life with others' lifespans,

which is already the act of a demon.

Heaven and earth have laws.

The heavenly way is clear.

All things have their destiny. Those who defy heaven

will be punished by heaven.

You won't live past 25.

Don't you also rely on swallowing demon cores to extend your life?

What's the difference between you and me?

You think you are carrying out justice for heaven,

but you just haven't been pushed to that point yet.

Why not join with me?

You have an immortal body,

and I have hundreds of years of accumulated lifespan.

If we join forces,

we will be immortal

and indestructible forever.

My life is short, but I accept it.

Your life is long, but you don't deserve it.

Xuanwu.

Xuanwu.

The tree demon has shrunk back. There's a chance.

Sneaky. Come out.

Metal overcomes Wood, Southern Bing Ding Fire, Fire overcomes Metal.

Metal in turn generates Water.

Water points North.

Interlocking operations.

Five Elements True Thunder.

Thank you, big sister.

It's a pity my sister

was the first to have her lifespan drained by that monster.

Her resentment didn't dissipate after death,

so she turned into an evil spirit.

But she wanted to protect me and my brothers from beginning to end.

She protected you to the end,

just hoping you would live well.

Don't be afraid. This is your lifespan to begin with.

It's okay.

Without this demon core,

we'll find another one.

We've heard about what happened at the Marshal's mansion.

It seems you've learned a lot of skills outside.

Tell me what the curse of the Shen family's ancestors really is.

I can take you there,

but whether you can find the answer

depends on your own luck.

This is the forbidden area of the Shen family.

The ancestors raised a monster inside.

I've never been in.

Whether you want to go in and find out,

you decide for yourself.

20 years ago, the Shen family let you down.

Back then, rather than letting you live in pain,

it was better to free you early.

The past is like smoke.

My ties with the Shen family were settled 20 years ago.

Open.

You are the monster raised by the Shen family, right?

You also put the curse on me, didn't you?

I know you have many questions,

but I can't give you the answers.

I'm not here to negotiate with you.

Stop struggling.

Accept the arrangement of fate.

Otherwise, you can only die.

I, Shen Zhaoning, have never been afraid of death.

Causing my mother's death since childhood and disowned by my relatives,

I just want to know who I really am.

Is that wrong?

Like you,

I am also looking for answers.

I am Shen Zhaoning,

a Feng Shui master of Youshan Sect.

Born as an insect infant, I only have 25 years to live.

Since childhood,

every step of my life seems to be controlled by fate.

Who am I?

Where do I come from?
