22
00:01:50,500 --> 00:01:51,400
Not a problem.

00:01:53,180 --> 00:01:53,780
Now it's yours.

24
00:01:58,730 --> 00:01:59,760
Wow.

25
00:02:00,500 --> 00:02:01,960
I'm touching a fish.
[*Chinese pun meaning slacking off]

26
00:02:04,980 --> 00:02:06,190
You're so lazy.

27
00:02:07,010 --> 00:02:08,080
You only like touching fish

28
00:02:08,290 --> 00:02:10,220
when someone brings it to you.

29
00:02:16,140 --> 00:02:18,750
This lake is known as Cloudsky Lake.

30
00:02:19,420 --> 00:02:20,710
And this is a Soul Flying Fish.

31
00:02:22,220 --> 00:02:23,310
It feeds on

32
00:02:23,490 --> 00:02:25,270

34
00:02:28,540 --> 00:02:29,590
That's precious.

35
00:02:29,890 --> 00:02:31,270
Then I daren't touch it.

36
00:02:31,660 --> 00:02:33,080
Let's release it.

37
00:02:34,380 --> 00:02:35,310
But I heard

38
00:02:35,820 --> 00:02:38,240
the icy-blue fish are good for beauty.

39
00:02:39,730 --> 00:02:40,520
Then I must touch it.

40
00:02:43,450 --> 00:02:44,470
After you're done touching it,

41
00:02:44,820 --> 00:02:45,360
we can

42
00:02:46,820 --> 00:02:47,870
roast it and eat it.

43
00:02:48,940 --> 00:02:49,990
Catching fish in someone else's lake

44
00:02:50,010 --> 00:02:51,470
isn't good, is it?

45
00:02:51,660 --> 00:02:54,120
But with you backing me up, it's fine.

46
00:03:18,380 --> 00:03:20,310
Isn't just one fish a bit too few?

47
00:03:20,940 --> 00:03:22,800
It's rare for me to cook.

48
00:03:23,940 --> 00:03:25,270
I can't make just a humble spread.

49
00:04:03,450 --> 00:04:05,150
Why is it only you who can catch those fish?

50
00:04:16,900 --> 00:04:18,350
This is true "touching fish".

51
00:04:19,100 --> 00:04:19,960
Doing nothing at all?

52
00:04:23,810 --> 00:04:25,470
I won't lift even a finger now.

53
00:04:34,980 --> 00:04:36,150
Whoever can catch me lots of fish

54
00:04:36,170 --> 00:04:37,960
is the best man ever in the world!

55
00:04:38,130 --> 00:04:39,980
I'd love him! I'd admire him so much!

56
00:04:40,060 --> 00:04:42,150
A man who can catch them is utterly handsome!

57
00:04:42,170 --> 00:04:43,450
He makes me feel so safe.

58
00:04:43,660 --> 00:04:45,640
Whoever can catch these fish must be exceptionally remarkable!

59
00:04:49,980 --> 00:04:50,880
Enough chatter.

60
00:05:07,250 --> 00:05:07,880
Good job.

61
00:05:08,130 --> 00:05:09,270
Come. Let me wipe your sweat.

62
00:05:09,780 --> 00:05:12,030
Such a trifle doesn't make me sweat.

63
00:05:12,980 --> 00:05:13,640
Come on.

64
00:05:21,660 --> 00:05:22,640
Crouch lower.

65
00:05:42,810 --> 00:05:44,590
Don't roast all the fish.

66
00:05:45,580 --> 00:05:46,560
Make me a soup, too.

67
00:05:47,050 --> 00:05:47,960
You want to eat them?

68
00:05:48,610 --> 00:05:49,670
I caught them myself.

69
00:05:50,610 --> 00:05:51,520
Can't I eat them?

70
00:05:52,930 --> 00:05:53,560
Of course you can.

71
00:05:54,050 --> 00:05:56,030
What could make Grandmaster, who rarely eats,

72
00:05:56,050 --> 00:05:57,350
suddenly demand food?

73
00:05:57,660 --> 00:05:59,710
Is it the beauty fish,

74
00:06:00,290 --> 00:06:02,200
or me, the slacking fish?

75
00:06:05,020 --> 00:06:05,640
Too much noise.

76
00:06:15,490 --> 00:06:16,710
This is divine cuisine.

77
00:06:17,930 --> 00:06:19,960
No, it's a celestial delicacy.

78
00:06:20,810 --> 00:06:22,640
How can fish taste so good?

79
00:06:22,730 --> 00:06:25,230
Crispy outside, tender inside.

80
00:06:25,580 --> 00:06:26,760
Fresh and fragrant.

81
00:06:28,170 --> 00:06:29,320
How's the soup?

82
00:06:35,690 --> 00:06:36,470
Taste it yourself.

83
00:06:49,980 --> 00:06:51,840
It's so delicious, my tongue feels refreshed.

84
00:07:03,170 --> 00:07:03,880
Nice.

85
00:07:04,460 --> 00:07:08,000
This should be taken to "Bite of Celestial Palace".
[*A famous Chinese food documentary]

86
00:07:08,420 --> 00:07:09,960
To think Grandmaster, who rarely eats,

87
00:07:09,980 --> 00:07:11,000
finds it tasty.

88
00:07:11,290 --> 00:07:13,350
It's because the ingredients here are really good.

89
00:07:14,050 --> 00:07:15,760
Such flavor with so little effort.

90
00:07:18,900 --> 00:07:20,150
I'm heading out tomorrow.

91
00:07:21,340 --> 00:07:22,470
In your words,

92
00:07:23,020 --> 00:07:23,870
I'm going to

93
00:07:25,250 --> 00:07:26,080
"pursue my career".

94
00:07:28,290 --> 00:07:29,710
This trip will take a few days.

95
00:07:30,130 --> 00:07:31,560
If there's anything you want,

96
00:07:32,050 --> 00:07:32,910
tell me anytime.

97
00:07:34,660 --> 00:07:35,560
Don't worry.

98
00:07:35,580 --> 00:07:37,230
I have the Transvision Mirror you gave me.

99
00:07:37,670 --> 00:07:38,970
Pursue your career without worry.

100
00:07:45,220 --> 00:07:48,030
Sima Jiao hides in the shadows, while we're out in the open.

101
00:07:48,340 --> 00:07:50,400
Finding him won't be easy.

102
00:07:53,460 --> 00:07:54,030
Sect Master Shi,

103
00:07:54,250 --> 00:07:56,110
the fish in your treasured Cloudsky Lake

104
00:07:56,370 --> 00:07:57,350
have been stolen by the dozens.

105
00:07:58,580 --> 00:07:59,030
What?

106
00:08:00,250 --> 00:08:01,270
Who did this?

107
00:08:01,460 --> 00:08:03,470
This was left by the thief at the lakeside.

108
00:08:07,610 --> 00:08:08,200
My...

109
00:08:08,900 --> 00:08:10,760
There are traces of Tingyan's extreme-cold nature.

110
00:08:11,540 --> 00:08:12,520
It seems

111
00:08:12,540 --> 00:08:14,350
her cultivation has advanced further than before.

112
00:08:14,660 --> 00:08:15,560
My fish!

113
00:08:16,540 --> 00:08:17,110
My...

114
00:08:32,300 --> 00:08:35,390
Gengchen Celestial Palace has grown more chaotic.

115
00:08:36,010 --> 00:08:38,800
Sect Master Shi, you hardly ever catch

116
00:08:38,940 --> 00:08:40,680
those Soul Flying Fish,

117
00:08:40,700 --> 00:08:43,420
much less share them with us.

118
00:08:43,460 --> 00:08:44,350
And now look.

119
00:08:45,230 --> 00:08:47,520
They've been stolen by some nameless thief.

120
00:08:50,300 --> 00:08:51,680
This is outrageous.

121
00:08:53,700 --> 00:08:54,470
Who was it?

122
00:08:55,770 --> 00:08:56,560
Sima Jiao?

123
00:08:57,340 --> 00:08:58,870
Instead of focusing on his recovery,

124
00:08:58,890 --> 00:09:00,980
you think he stole your fish right under your nose?

125
00:09:01,460 --> 00:09:04,060
The Eight Palaces are all searching for him.

126
00:09:04,330 --> 00:09:05,640
If it were him,

127
00:09:06,020 --> 00:09:07,160
wouldn't that

128
00:09:07,730 --> 00:09:09,190
be far too arrogant?

129
00:09:09,610 --> 00:09:10,880
Exactly.

130
00:09:11,180 --> 00:09:12,520
Soul Flying Fish

131
00:09:12,540 --> 00:09:14,710
don't do much to aid recovery.

132
00:09:15,090 --> 00:09:17,120
If Sima Jiao were in his right mind,

133
00:09:17,260 --> 00:09:19,550
he'd never take the risk

134
00:09:19,730 --> 00:09:21,000
of coming here to steal the fish.

135
00:09:26,180 --> 00:09:27,430
But knowing his nature,

136
00:09:29,660 --> 00:09:31,280
it's hard to say.

137
00:09:32,140 --> 00:09:33,280
If Sima Jiao went to Cloudsky Lake

138
00:09:33,300 --> 00:09:35,160
for Tingyan's sake,

139
00:09:35,780 --> 00:09:36,830
then it makes sense.

140
00:09:51,850 --> 00:09:52,590
Someone.

141
00:09:54,810 --> 00:09:55,470
Young Madam.

142
00:09:56,060 --> 00:09:57,520
Why hasn't anyone been sent in today?

143
00:09:58,020 --> 00:09:58,710
Young Madam,

144
00:09:59,060 --> 00:10:00,470
since the Grandmaster's incident,

145
00:10:00,660 --> 00:10:01,760
all sects have tightened their defenses.

146
00:10:02,060 --> 00:10:03,550
It's hard to find

147
00:10:03,570 --> 00:10:04,830
suitable female disciples.

148
00:10:05,690 --> 00:10:08,640
You know the art I'm practicing consumes my primordial spirit.

149
00:10:09,180 --> 00:10:10,550
Why weren't you prepared earlier?

150
00:10:11,300 --> 00:10:12,240
Please calm down, Young Madam.

151
00:10:21,460 --> 00:10:24,070
Didn't you just enter Coreform recently?

152
00:10:25,300 --> 00:10:26,790
It should be nourishing now.

153
00:10:27,260 --> 00:10:28,360
Spare me, Young Madam.

154
00:10:29,090 --> 00:10:30,160
Please spare me, Young Madam.

155
00:10:46,180 --> 00:10:46,950
Chuhui!

156
00:10:48,540 --> 00:10:49,040
Mother.

157
00:10:49,970 --> 00:10:50,550
Chuhui,

158
00:10:51,780 --> 00:10:54,310
where did you learn such evil arts?

159
00:10:54,850 --> 00:10:55,520
Mother,

160
00:10:57,020 --> 00:10:59,790
I went to great lengths to obtain this secret art.

161
00:10:59,970 --> 00:11:00,920
Otherwise,

162
00:11:00,940 --> 00:11:02,310
without the Grandmaster's reward,

163
00:11:02,570 --> 00:11:03,470
how else

164
00:11:03,490 --> 00:11:05,950
could I have advanced into Soulshift so quickly?

165
00:11:06,690 --> 00:11:07,670
Young Madam,

166
00:11:07,940 --> 00:11:08,590
you should know

167
00:11:08,850 --> 00:11:11,070
shortcuts will harm you.

168
00:11:11,420 --> 00:11:13,550
That's why I need disciples to replenish myself.

169
00:11:14,900 --> 00:11:16,070
Don't worry, Mother.

170
00:11:16,090 --> 00:11:17,400
The ones I choose

171
00:11:17,420 --> 00:11:18,710
are nobodies.

172
00:11:19,210 --> 00:11:20,310
No one will notice

173
00:11:20,420 --> 00:11:21,590
even if they die.

174
00:11:21,610 --> 00:11:22,880
So how come I know about it now?

175
00:11:23,730 --> 00:11:25,280
I've heard the rumors

176
00:11:25,780 --> 00:11:27,550
that you're absorbing female disciples' cultivation.

177
00:11:27,970 --> 00:11:28,950
It won't be long

178
00:11:28,970 --> 00:11:30,550
before the other palace heads come after you.

179
00:11:37,610 --> 00:11:39,590
I can't believe you, the daughter of a Palace Madam,

180
00:11:40,490 --> 00:11:42,550
would actually practice such demonic arts.

181
00:11:42,900 --> 00:11:44,830
How am I to face the others?

182
00:11:46,330 --> 00:11:48,280
But Mother, you're the Palace Madam.

183
00:11:48,730 --> 00:11:50,590
Even if they find out, why bother with them?

184
00:11:51,810 --> 00:11:53,590
I can't stop halfway.

185
00:11:56,260 --> 00:11:56,830
Madam,

186
00:11:57,140 --> 00:12:00,400
why not send Young Madam to the Luo River Immortal District?

187
00:12:00,940 --> 00:12:01,920
She can ease her mind there.

188
00:12:02,420 --> 00:12:04,430
Also, the place is remote,

189
00:12:04,660 --> 00:12:06,040
and it houses foreign sects.

190
00:12:06,330 --> 00:12:08,880
Even if something happens, they won't dare make a scene here.

It's decided.

195

If calamity ever happens in the Inner Court,

196

you can avoid it.

197
00:12:20,900 --> 00:12:23,920
Mother, what calamity could there be?

198
00:12:24,420 --> 00:12:26,120

I've been feeling irritable for no reason lately.

203

My chest feels tight.

204
00:12:49,020 --> 00:12:51,830
Why not go out shopping to relax?

Let's stroll the market.

We have enough gems.

We're not going back empty-handed today.

Miss, you truly care about your brother.

216
00:13:18,090 --> 00:13:19,590
You even had an artifact custom-made for him.

217
00:13:21,810 --> 00:13:23,880
I've always accepted his gifts without giving anything in return.

218
00:13:24,420 --> 00:13:25,670

One moment, please.

235

Miss Yong, have a look at this silk brocade.

236
00:14:22,300 --> 00:14:24,470
The design is no ordinary flower.

237
00:14:25,210 --> 00:14:27,160
It's called Moonshade Bloom.

238
00:14:27,180 --> 00:14:27,830
Special indeed.

239
00:14:31,690 --> 00:14:34,190

Rarely seen by anyone.

244
00:14:41,490 --> 00:14:44,040
Only we have this pattern.

245
00:14:44,140 --> 00:14:46,310
The flower doesn't seem right,

246
00:14:46,900 --> 00:14:48,160
but the fabric itself is lovely.

247
00:14:50,140 --> 00:14:52,880
Have you seen Moonshade Bloom before, Miss Yong?

248
00:14:54,900 --> 00:14:56,920
That's a rare flower.

But you've gone too far

282
00:16:22,690 --> 00:16:24,120

is not impossible.

These are wounds from advanced spells.

They can't be healed by common spells.

00:21:06,770 --> 00:21:07,880
This is too cruel.

376
00:21:08,820 --> 00:21:10,800
I need to bring Tingyan back for treatment.

377
00:21:12,050 --> 00:21:13,400
But with Tingyan here,

378
00:21:14,290 --> 00:21:16,270
it's the best chance to hunt down Sima Jiao.

379
00:21:29,250 --> 00:21:29,750
Let's leave.

380
00:21:34,900 --> 00:21:36,430
Are you sure that woman is Liao Tingyan?

381
00:21:36,940 --> 00:21:37,470
Yes.

382
00:21:39,380 --> 00:21:40,950
If you set an ambush in advance,

383
00:21:41,380 --> 00:21:42,510
Sima Jiao is sure to be drawn here.

384
00:21:43,770 --> 00:21:45,270
Send word to all palaces.

385
00:21:45,530 --> 00:21:46,270
We set out at once.

386
00:21:49,290 --> 00:21:51,120
We came as soon as we received the news.

387
00:21:51,210 --> 00:21:53,160
Any news about Sima Jiao?

388
00:21:55,010 --> 00:21:55,750
Fellow palace heads,

389
00:21:56,340 --> 00:21:58,230
Sima Jiao is injured,

390
00:21:58,860 --> 00:22:00,320
and his strength is greatly reduced.

391
00:22:00,970 --> 00:22:05,470
Today, we must seize him without fail.

392
00:22:06,770 --> 00:22:09,430
You're using my daughter as bait.

393
00:22:10,530 --> 00:22:12,230
How can you guarantee her safety?

394
00:22:13,100 --> 00:22:13,950
Madam Yue,

395
00:22:15,210 --> 00:22:16,800
given Sima Jiao's current condition,

396
00:22:17,450 --> 00:22:18,670
even if I can't defeat him,

397
00:22:19,340 --> 00:22:21,160
I can at least fight him to a draw.

398
00:22:21,860 --> 00:22:23,360
That will be enough for us to complete the sealing

399
00:22:23,690 --> 00:22:24,990
and save your daughter.

400
00:22:26,140 --> 00:22:29,600
Madam Yue, no risk, no glory.

401
00:22:31,490 --> 00:22:32,750
Once this is done,

402
00:22:34,340 --> 00:22:36,080
you'll be the leader of the Eight Palaces.

403
00:22:36,860 --> 00:22:38,190
Then what are we waiting for?

404
00:22:39,910 --> 00:22:40,750
I...

405
00:22:41,210 --> 00:22:44,120
I mean, if we delay any longer, my daughter will be in danger.

406
00:22:47,820 --> 00:22:48,510
Move out!

407
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:55,400
[True Virtue Speaks for Itself]

408
00:23:02,820 --> 00:23:03,510
Tingyan.

409
00:23:11,140 --> 00:23:12,190
Liao Tingyan is in danger.

410
00:23:12,420 --> 00:23:14,640
The Eight Palaces are heading towards the suburbs of Mount Ziliu.

411
00:23:16,140 --> 00:23:18,710
Grandmaster, let me go with you.

412
00:23:18,970 --> 00:23:20,190
You haven't recovered yet.

413
00:23:20,380 --> 00:23:22,320
I can at least support you.

414
00:23:22,900 --> 00:23:24,430
This is likely a trap by Shi Qianlv.

415
00:23:25,100 --> 00:23:26,080
Think twice.

416
00:23:26,250 --> 00:23:27,510
Tingyan is my good friend.

417
00:23:27,900 --> 00:23:28,840
You are my master.

418
00:23:29,770 --> 00:23:30,800
If you go to save her,

419
00:23:31,730 --> 00:23:33,400
I will follow without hesitation.

420
00:23:46,690 --> 00:23:47,710
Why are you standing there?

421
00:23:48,860 --> 00:23:50,840
The clothes are ready, Young Madam.

422
00:23:51,180 --> 00:23:52,160
Please try them on.

423
00:23:52,210 --> 00:23:53,160
What's the point of trying them?

424
00:23:53,820 --> 00:23:54,920
But the clothes...

425
00:23:58,530 --> 00:23:59,510
Your strength...

426
00:24:00,860 --> 00:24:02,030
My cultivation has slowed down

427
00:24:02,450 --> 00:24:04,360
without those disciples.

428
00:24:07,340 --> 00:24:08,230
Where is the Soulshift girl

429
00:24:08,250 --> 00:24:09,430
I brought back a few days ago?

430
00:24:09,970 --> 00:24:11,800
She's still locked up.

431
00:24:12,580 --> 00:24:14,190
Have Lord Han bring her to me.

432
00:24:25,970 --> 00:24:26,470
Tingyan.

433
00:24:27,100 --> 00:24:27,670
Tingyan.

434
00:24:42,970 --> 00:24:45,120
Does it hurt, Tingyan?

435
00:24:47,690 --> 00:24:48,560
It's fine.

436
00:24:51,050 --> 00:24:51,840
You're lying.

437
00:24:53,100 --> 00:24:54,270
I'm unwell.

438
00:24:55,690 --> 00:24:56,800
It hurts me terribly.

439
00:24:56,940 --> 00:24:58,840

Of course I am.

Yue Chuhui is the Young Madam of the Moon Palace.

469
00:27:11,450 --> 00:27:12,800
You'll expose yourself.

00:27:20,420 --> 00:27:21,800
Up ahead is Mount Ziliu Manor.

471
00:27:22,380 --> 00:27:23,640

00:27:34,420 --> 00:27:35,510

00:27:43,530 --> 00:27:45,430
How dare you! Who allowed you in?

475
00:27:47,860 --> 00:27:50,230
Lord Han, Lord of Wind.

476
00:27:50,900 --> 00:27:51,950
I don't care who you are,

477
00:27:52,140 --> 00:27:53,600
my guards will be here soon.

478
00:27:54,050 --> 00:27:54,950

none of you is getting away.

480
00:28:00,530 --> 00:28:02,360
Grand... Grandmaster.

481
00:28:03,050 --> 00:28:03,920
Liao Tingyan?

482
00:28:10,970 --> 00:28:11,710
Grandmaster.

483
00:28:22,900 --> 00:28:24,160
Don't come closer, Grandmaster.

484
00:28:24,380 --> 00:28:26,080
My mother will rescue me soon!

485
00:28:35,450 --> 00:28:36,640
There they are.

00:29:12,100 --> 00:29:12,880
Chuhui.

487
00:29:13,770 --> 00:29:15,320
Mother, save me!

488
00:29:15,620 --> 00:29:17,880
Release my daughter, Sima Jiao!

489
00:29:19,900 --> 00:29:21,640
Grandmaster, they're setting up the sealing array.

490
00:29:21,970 --> 00:29:22,950
We're surrounded.

491
00:29:24,250 --> 00:29:24,950
I know.

492
00:29:25,730 --> 00:29:27,950
Be patient, Madam Yue.

493
00:29:28,490 --> 00:29:29,400
Don't forget

494
00:29:29,900 --> 00:29:33,230
our priority is sealing Sima Jiao.

495
00:29:35,100 --> 00:29:35,800
You do it.

496
00:29:37,940 --> 00:29:39,120
Strip her face,

497
00:29:43,770 --> 00:29:44,600
and kill her.

498
00:29:45,420 --> 00:29:46,080
No.

499
00:29:54,100 --> 00:29:55,400
She bullied you

500
00:29:56,290 --> 00:29:57,080
and hurt you.

501
00:29:58,180 --> 00:29:59,800
You have to avenge yourself.

502
00:30:01,730 --> 00:30:02,800
She scarred your face,

503
00:30:03,860 --> 00:30:05,360
then you strip hers.

504
00:30:06,180 --> 00:30:07,120
She had others beat you,

505
00:30:08,140 --> 00:30:10,320
then you crush every single bone of her.

506
00:30:11,690 --> 00:30:12,510
She made you suffer,

507
00:30:14,900 --> 00:30:16,400
then you make her die in agony.

508
00:30:18,420 --> 00:30:19,430
I was wrong, Grandmaster.

509
00:30:20,050 --> 00:30:21,160
- Please spare me. - Kill her.

510
00:30:22,180 --> 00:30:24,560
Sima Jiao, the Eight Palace Heads are all here.

511
00:30:25,100 --> 00:30:27,120
If you release my daughter,

512
00:30:27,490 --> 00:30:28,800
everything can be negotiated.

513
00:30:29,490 --> 00:30:31,430
But if anything happens to her,

514
00:30:32,140 --> 00:30:33,640
I'll take your life!

515
00:30:36,140 --> 00:30:36,990
Noisy.

516
00:30:41,580 --> 00:30:42,080
Uh...

517
00:30:43,340 --> 00:30:46,400
Jiao, my stomach hurts.

518
00:30:47,100 --> 00:30:48,640
It isn't serious.

519
00:30:49,450 --> 00:30:50,990
Let's go back first.

520
00:30:51,420 --> 00:30:52,560
- Yes? - No.

521
00:30:56,380 --> 00:30:58,270
My inner injuries are serious.

522
00:30:58,620 --> 00:31:00,800
If you don't heal me, I'll die.

523
00:31:03,050 --> 00:31:04,400
I'm so afraid of pain.

524
00:31:05,420 --> 00:31:06,840
Please, Grandmaster.

525
00:31:09,140 --> 00:31:10,560
Are you sure you don't want to do it?

526
00:31:12,100 --> 00:31:13,470
I'm not pretending.

527
00:31:14,380 --> 00:31:15,750
Let's go back first.

528
00:31:15,970 --> 00:31:16,800
All right?

529
00:31:19,010 --> 00:31:19,600
Fine.

530
00:31:21,090 --> 00:31:21,950
If you won't kill her,

531
00:31:24,180 --> 00:31:25,080
I won't force you.

532
00:31:26,420 --> 00:31:29,120
It looks like the Eight Palaces are hunting us down,

533
00:31:30,490 --> 00:31:32,160
and you're still wounded.

534
00:31:33,530 --> 00:31:35,230
Let's negotiate with them with Yue Chuhui

535
00:31:35,290 --> 00:31:36,640
and retreat first.

536
00:31:38,050 --> 00:31:39,190
I'll do anything you ask.

537
00:31:40,860 --> 00:31:41,670
But this person

538
00:31:43,420 --> 00:31:44,840
must pay the price.

539
00:31:48,580 --> 00:31:50,880
No, Grandmaster.

540
00:31:51,940 --> 00:31:52,640
Please don't.

541
00:31:53,050 --> 00:31:53,710
No.

542
00:32:00,970 --> 00:32:03,670
Chuhui!

543
00:32:04,140 --> 00:32:06,360
Hold yourself together, Madam Yue.

544
00:32:07,010 --> 00:32:09,190
Didn't you say you could save her,

545
00:32:10,140 --> 00:32:12,080
did you?

546
00:32:12,620 --> 00:32:14,030
I should've rushed in long ago,

547
00:32:14,450 --> 00:32:17,270
not wasted time here with you.

548
00:32:17,340 --> 00:32:18,800
What use is it if you rush in alone?

549
00:32:19,180 --> 00:32:20,190
Do you stand a chance?

550
00:32:21,100 --> 00:32:22,640
Your daughter only lost her cultivation.

551
00:32:22,900 --> 00:32:24,230
At least her life is spared.

552
00:32:24,730 --> 00:32:27,400
Don't lose focus, Madam Yue.

553
00:32:27,730 --> 00:32:28,710
Hold yourself together.

554
00:32:30,100 --> 00:32:32,750
I must kill you two

555
00:32:33,730 --> 00:32:35,190
to atone for my daughter.

556
00:32:39,940 --> 00:32:42,670
You think your array can hold me long?

557
00:32:43,420 --> 00:32:46,710
Sima Jiao, if you could break it,

558
00:32:47,010 --> 00:32:48,030
you'd have done so already.

559
00:32:48,420 --> 00:32:49,670
After the battle at Baifeng Mountain,

560
00:32:49,970 --> 00:32:51,800
you were gravely injured and haven't recovered yet.

561
00:32:52,010 --> 00:32:53,160
Am I right?

562
00:32:55,820 --> 00:32:57,270
Whether or not I have recovered,

563
00:32:58,490 --> 00:32:59,920
you can come here

564
00:33:00,490 --> 00:33:01,950
and try me.

565
00:33:35,900 --> 00:33:37,990
Stop it, Ruling.

566
00:33:42,860 --> 00:33:45,080
Ruling, if you persist,

567
00:33:45,580 --> 00:33:47,160
how can we still be friends?

568
00:33:54,900 --> 00:33:57,080
From the moment I swore to kill Sima Jiao,

569
00:33:57,490 --> 00:33:58,950
I knew this day would come.

570
00:33:59,210 --> 00:34:00,710
Are all the days we shared

571
00:34:01,820 --> 00:34:02,990
going to end here?

572
00:34:03,290 --> 00:34:03,880
Yes.

573
00:34:07,940 --> 00:34:09,630
Liao Tingyan, Hei Nianjiu,

574
00:34:11,010 --> 00:34:12,320
the next time we meet,

575
00:34:13,780 --> 00:34:14,920
I won't hold back.

576
00:34:23,220 --> 00:34:23,880
Sima Jiao.

577
00:34:27,260 --> 00:34:29,920
I knew you hadn't healed yet.

578
00:34:31,650 --> 00:34:32,990
The Spirit Fire is truly robust.

579
00:34:33,860 --> 00:34:35,280
Even gravely injured,

580
00:34:35,650 --> 00:34:37,360
you can still fight me this long.

581
00:34:46,340 --> 00:34:47,240
The array is nearly complete.

582
00:34:47,780 --> 00:34:50,510
Sima Jiao, your number is up.

583
00:34:51,090 --> 00:34:51,760
Sima Jiao.

584
00:34:55,740 --> 00:34:56,400
Sima Jiao.

585
00:34:59,570 --> 00:35:00,990
This is the moment I've been waiting for.

586
00:35:21,940 --> 00:35:22,760
How could this be?

587
00:35:26,610 --> 00:35:29,400
Could someone within the Eight Palaces have helped him?

588
00:35:31,650 --> 00:35:32,360
Chuhui.

589
00:35:33,970 --> 00:35:34,720
Chuhui!

590
00:35:49,490 --> 00:35:50,280
Madam Ye.

591
00:35:51,940 --> 00:35:54,110
I saw you speaking

592
00:35:54,420 --> 00:35:55,680
with those flying kites just now.

593
00:35:56,300 --> 00:35:57,400
What were you talking about?

594
00:35:58,940 --> 00:36:00,510
They tried to convince me to go easy on Sima Jiao,

595
00:36:01,220 --> 00:36:02,150
but I refused.

596
00:36:03,940 --> 00:36:05,950
Are you suspecting me, Sect Master Shi?

597
00:36:08,530 --> 00:36:11,320
You and Liao Tingyan

598
00:36:11,740 --> 00:36:12,880
are close friends.

599
00:36:13,740 --> 00:36:16,920
And you're also tight with that black serpent.

600
00:36:19,260 --> 00:36:22,240
You can't blame me for being suspicious, Madam Ye.

601
00:36:23,860 --> 00:36:25,030
You're overthinking it, Sect Master Shi.

602
00:36:47,780 --> 00:36:48,630
Come, sit down.

603
00:36:53,170 --> 00:36:53,950
How do you feel now?

604
00:36:54,490 --> 00:36:57,760
I'm fine. It's just a small wound.

605
00:36:58,130 --> 00:36:59,920
Your injuries haven't healed yet.

606
00:37:00,900 --> 00:37:02,430
How did you break the seal?

607
00:37:02,900 --> 00:37:04,430
Back in the array,

608
00:37:05,260 --> 00:37:06,240
you told me

609
00:37:06,260 --> 00:37:07,990
you needed help from one of the Eight Palaces,

610
00:37:08,860 --> 00:37:10,920
so you sent me to persuade Ruling,

611
00:37:11,530 --> 00:37:12,320
right?

612
00:37:13,380 --> 00:37:15,510
Ye Ruling was just a pretense.

613
00:37:16,340 --> 00:37:18,030
The one who helped was Yuan Che.

614
00:37:19,940 --> 00:37:21,950
What if he betrayed you,

615
00:37:21,970 --> 00:37:22,630
or couldn't help at all?

616
00:37:23,610 --> 00:37:25,070
Wouldn't that even have been more dangerous?

617
00:37:25,900 --> 00:37:28,800
When it comes to saving you, there's no such thing as "what if".

618
00:37:31,130 --> 00:37:32,950
You knew it was a deadly trap,

619
00:37:34,340 --> 00:37:35,590
and you couldn't defeat them,

620
00:37:36,740 --> 00:37:38,030
but you still risked it for me.

621
00:37:43,780 --> 00:37:44,920
Who says I couldn't defeat them?

622
00:37:45,530 --> 00:37:47,240
Yes, you could.

623
00:37:47,740 --> 00:37:50,030
I didn't expect you'd learn how to work with others.

624
00:37:50,340 --> 00:37:53,920
It's his honor across three lifetimes to aid me.

625
00:37:54,820 --> 00:37:55,800
There's no such thing as collaboration.

626
00:38:02,420 --> 00:38:04,630
You should learn to ask others for help more often.

627
00:38:08,570 --> 00:38:10,400
Since you already had Yuan Che

628
00:38:10,420 --> 00:38:11,360
as your backup,

629
00:38:11,530 --> 00:38:13,840
why send me to persuade Ruling

630
00:38:14,260 --> 00:38:16,320
and release those flying kites for all to see?

631
00:38:17,220 --> 00:38:18,920
To not arouse Shi Qianlv's suspicion,

632
00:38:20,090 --> 00:38:21,800
I needed someone convincing

633
00:38:22,220 --> 00:38:22,990
to mislead him.

634
00:38:23,820 --> 00:38:26,070
So Ruling was just Yuan Che's decoy?

635
00:38:28,170 --> 00:38:29,720
But she's my friend.

636
00:38:32,970 --> 00:38:33,590
I forgot.

637
00:38:34,380 --> 00:38:36,150
She and I aren't friends anymore.

638
00:38:41,900 --> 00:38:43,360
Losing a false friend

639
00:38:44,130 --> 00:38:44,950
is nothing worth brooding over.

640
00:38:47,010 --> 00:38:48,320
You don't make friends,

641
00:38:49,420 --> 00:38:51,110
so you wouldn't understand.

642
00:38:58,780 --> 00:38:59,760
You're taking it out on me.

643
00:39:01,780 --> 00:39:05,880
I'm sorry. I've just been so irritable lately

644
00:39:06,610 --> 00:39:08,150
for no reason.

645
00:39:09,260 --> 00:39:11,360
It gets worse when I think of Ruling.

646
00:39:11,940 --> 00:39:13,360
I feel so stifled,

647
00:39:13,380 --> 00:39:14,950
as if something's pressing on my chest.

648
00:39:18,650 --> 00:39:21,030
You've been feeling like this lately?

649
00:39:22,900 --> 00:39:23,990
I don't know why.

650
00:39:24,780 --> 00:39:26,550
This frustration just came out of nowhere.

651
00:39:35,450 --> 00:39:36,990
Let's heal your wounds first

652
00:39:38,570 --> 00:39:39,920
before dealing with your troubles.

653
00:39:59,220 --> 00:40:01,150
Stop it, Ruling.

654
00:40:02,340 --> 00:40:04,470
Ruling, if you persist,

655
00:40:05,450 --> 00:40:07,030
how can we still be friends?

656
00:40:09,090 --> 00:40:10,630
Are you alone too?

657
00:40:10,940 --> 00:40:12,070
Are you also a slacker,

658
00:40:12,090 --> 00:40:13,430
just like me?

659
00:40:13,780 --> 00:40:15,030
You never looked down on me?

660
00:40:15,050 --> 00:40:16,360
I admire you so much.

661
00:40:19,940 --> 00:40:21,200
We're good friends from now on.

662
00:40:21,780 --> 00:40:22,400
Yes.

663
00:40:27,130 --> 00:40:28,630
Are all the days we shared

664
00:40:29,260 --> 00:40:30,240
going to end here?

665
00:40:30,570 --> 00:40:31,150
Yes.

666
00:40:35,490 --> 00:40:38,920
Your eyes are sparkling.

667
00:40:41,820 --> 00:40:42,590
So beautiful.

668
00:40:43,340 --> 00:40:44,950
I was a serpent before.

669
00:40:45,530 --> 00:40:47,840
You gave me the chance to become human.

670
00:40:48,530 --> 00:40:50,150
You gave me life.

671
00:40:50,740 --> 00:40:52,200
If you want to take it back,

672
00:40:55,780 --> 00:40:56,590
go ahead.

673
00:40:59,940 --> 00:41:00,470
Master,

674
00:41:00,740 --> 00:41:03,030
this is my gift as your disciple.

675
00:41:03,740 --> 00:41:05,590
If I call for you with this...

676
00:41:05,780 --> 00:41:07,030
If you need me,

677
00:41:07,050 --> 00:41:08,630
I'll appear by your side anytime.

678
00:41:25,340 --> 00:41:25,880
Hurry.

679
00:41:26,340 --> 00:41:27,110
Get moving.

680
00:41:30,610 --> 00:41:32,590
Why are you lying down? Get up.

681
00:41:34,010 --> 00:41:35,320
Hey, move faster.

682
00:41:37,260 --> 00:41:40,760
Now, the Sima Clan has only Sima Jiao left.

683
00:41:41,090 --> 00:41:42,760
Once he's dead,

684
00:41:43,050 --> 00:41:44,720
we can return to our homeland.

685
00:41:46,570 --> 00:41:50,150
Tingyan, Nanjiu, forgive me.

686
00:41:52,740 --> 00:41:54,110
I've failed you.

687
00:41:55,900 --> 00:41:57,630
I don't live for myself alone.

688
00:41:58,610 --> 00:42:00,470
I must bring my people home.

689
00:42:02,570 --> 00:42:05,760
I'm sorry for letting you down.
