The Grandmaster's been keeping a close eye on all the palaces.

73
00:06:03,220 --> 00:06:05,640
Madam Yue has repeatedly told you to act with caution.

74
00:06:08,730 --> 00:06:10,080
If only Chuhui had tried harder.

75
00:06:10,930 --> 00:06:13,270
If she were the one by the Grandmaster's side right now,

76
00:06:13,660 --> 00:06:15,670

Is the Grandmaster planning to kill Liao Tingyan here?

00:07:34,050 --> 00:07:35,590
She should consider herself lucky to be able

98
00:07:35,810 --> 00:07:36,960
to die in my flying pavilion.

99
00:07:37,170 --> 00:07:39,320
Grandmaster, I'm willing to do it for you.

100
00:07:39,490 --> 00:07:40,560

Yes.

103

My mother is the Mistress of the Moon Palace.

104
00:08:05,370 --> 00:08:06,760
You're a guest here.

105
00:08:06,930 --> 00:08:09,110
How could you throw the hostess out? Isn't that rude?

106
00:08:09,370 --> 00:08:10,710
The Eight Palaces and the Shi family

107
00:08:11,690 --> 00:08:13,230

108
00:08:14,730 --> 00:08:15,760
from my clan.

109
00:08:21,780 --> 00:08:23,150
You're leaving me here all by myself?

110
00:08:44,770 --> 00:08:46,680
Isn't this the flying pavilion I saw during the day?

111
00:08:51,370 --> 00:08:53,510
Did I just check into a five-star hotel?

112
00:08:56,180 --> 00:08:57,840
The view is amazing.

113
00:09:00,060 --> 00:09:01,990
Did he put a bug on me or something?

114
00:09:02,770 --> 00:09:04,160
How did he know I wanted to stay here?

115
00:09:17,410 --> 00:09:18,080
Grandmaster.

116
00:09:19,250 --> 00:09:21,590
You put together such a big setup,

117
00:09:22,250 --> 00:09:24,320
yet you still couldn't defeat a mere spy from the Demon Realm.

118
00:09:24,770 --> 00:09:26,510
It seems the Eight Palaces are due for new leaders.

119
00:09:27,700 --> 00:09:30,280
Grandmaster, what do you mean by that?

120
00:09:30,860 --> 00:09:32,710
Didn't you know Liao Tingyan

121
00:09:33,460 --> 00:09:34,840
was from the Demon Realm?

122
00:09:38,180 --> 00:09:40,320
Then who exactly did you prepare

123
00:09:42,940 --> 00:09:43,870
all this for today?

124
00:09:47,370 --> 00:09:48,800
We only just learned of it ourselves.

125
00:09:49,980 --> 00:09:53,200
What do you intend to do with Liao Tingyan, Grandmaster?

126
00:09:55,940 --> 00:09:56,680
Remove her tendons,

127
00:09:57,940 --> 00:09:58,590
peel off her skin,

128
00:10:00,370 --> 00:10:00,960
and break her bones.

129
00:10:06,490 --> 00:10:07,990
I will imprison her first.

130
00:10:08,490 --> 00:10:10,080
This place is wonderful.

131
00:10:10,340 --> 00:10:12,320
I'd be happy to stay here for a month.

132
00:10:13,700 --> 00:10:16,510
Then roast her flesh over fire.

133
00:10:26,100 --> 00:10:27,200
A little more roasting and it'll be ready.

134
00:10:27,370 --> 00:10:29,200
And throw her into a freezing cold pool to soak.

135
00:10:39,300 --> 00:10:41,560
Is this paradise?

136
00:10:43,340 --> 00:10:45,800
Finally, she will be devoured by beasts,

137
00:10:48,610 --> 00:10:49,750
never to see daylight again.

138
00:10:54,460 --> 00:10:56,230
This really is a five-star hotel.

139
00:10:56,580 --> 00:10:58,040
It's so comfortable.

140
00:11:00,580 --> 00:11:01,840
And what about Liao Tingyan's body?

141
00:11:05,820 --> 00:11:06,590
There will be no body.

142
00:11:07,410 --> 00:11:08,590
Under such torture,

143
00:11:09,410 --> 00:11:10,840
nothing will remain.

144
00:11:12,010 --> 00:11:13,560
For a mere Demon Realm spy,

145
00:11:13,940 --> 00:11:15,440
to die at the Grandmaster's hand

146
00:11:15,730 --> 00:11:17,470
would be an honor.

147
00:11:17,770 --> 00:11:18,390
Get lost.

148
00:11:32,650 --> 00:11:33,230
Get lost!

149
00:11:47,580 --> 00:11:48,320
Grandmaster,

150
00:11:49,010 --> 00:11:50,710
Liao Tingyan may have committed grave crimes,

151
00:11:51,580 --> 00:11:52,990
but she is still my disciple.

152
00:11:55,180 --> 00:11:56,280
I beg you, Grandmaster,

153
00:11:57,890 --> 00:11:59,440
let me bury her properly.

154
00:12:00,700 --> 00:12:02,280
I already said there would be no body.

155
00:12:04,100 --> 00:12:05,160
What are you going to bury?

156
00:12:12,940 --> 00:12:13,710
Are you saying

157
00:12:14,410 --> 00:12:15,920
the Grandmaster killed that woman

158
00:12:16,100 --> 00:12:17,350
from the Demon Realm himself?

159
00:12:17,610 --> 00:12:18,960
Yes, that's what he said.

160
00:12:19,130 --> 00:12:20,200
That's why we came to confirm.

161
00:12:20,650 --> 00:12:21,200
Mother!

162
00:12:22,460 --> 00:12:23,110
Chuhui?

163
00:12:23,410 --> 00:12:24,960
Mother, I finally found you.

164
00:12:25,180 --> 00:12:26,590
Liao Tingyan is finally dead.

165
00:12:27,250 --> 00:12:29,230
Chuhui, did you see something?

166
00:12:29,530 --> 00:12:31,280
I took the Snow Goose Flying Pavilion

167
00:12:31,300 --> 00:12:32,320
near White Deer Cliff.

168
00:12:32,580 --> 00:12:34,390
The Grandmaster suddenly brought Liao Tingyan there

169
00:12:38,650 --> 00:12:40,920
and treated her with extreme cruelty.

170
00:12:41,410 --> 00:12:44,110
He even said the flying pavilion was perfect for killing someone.

171
00:12:44,340 --> 00:12:45,470
What a lovely flying pavilion.

172
00:12:47,340 --> 00:12:48,960
Perfect place to kill someone.

173
00:12:50,460 --> 00:12:51,710
Liao Tingyan was scared stiff.

174
00:12:52,770 --> 00:12:54,350
I offered to do it for the Grandmaster,

175
00:12:54,410 --> 00:12:56,160
but it seemed he wanted to kill her himself.

176
00:12:56,890 --> 00:12:57,750
So it's true?

177
00:12:58,130 --> 00:13:00,920
I thought Sima Jiao was just tricking us.

178
00:13:01,300 --> 00:13:02,560
There's no point in guessing.

179
00:13:03,060 --> 00:13:05,040
One look at the life lamp, and we'll know.

180
00:13:05,460 --> 00:13:05,990
Sect Master!

181
00:13:09,340 --> 00:13:10,870
Sect Master, Liao Tingyan's life lamp

182
00:13:10,890 --> 00:13:11,920
suddenly went out.

183
00:13:12,060 --> 00:13:13,200
We can't summon her soul either.

184
00:13:17,700 --> 00:13:19,710
Looks like that demon really is dead.

185
00:13:20,730 --> 00:13:22,560
Even her soul is gone?

186
00:13:24,580 --> 00:13:27,110
What a pity. Without Liao Tingyan as bait,

187
00:13:27,460 --> 00:13:29,080
none of us can match the Grandmaster.

188
00:13:29,890 --> 00:13:31,320
Of all times to die,

189
00:13:31,460 --> 00:13:32,710
she had to die now.

190
00:13:33,250 --> 00:13:34,590
I say we end the meeting here for today

191
00:13:34,980 --> 00:13:36,080
and return to our palaces.

192
00:13:39,460 --> 00:13:40,390
Hold on, everyone.

193
00:13:42,490 --> 00:13:44,510
Sect Master Shi, do you still have doubts?

194
00:13:45,100 --> 00:13:47,870
Everyone, you all saw with your own eyes

195
00:13:48,700 --> 00:13:50,510
how the Grandmaster protected Liao Tingyan

196
00:13:51,860 --> 00:13:53,990
the day he broke the seals.

197
00:13:54,010 --> 00:13:55,870
How dare you act with such impudence before me?

198
00:13:56,490 --> 00:13:57,110
What are you afraid of?

199
00:13:57,580 --> 00:13:58,470
If I don't let you die,

200
00:13:59,220 --> 00:14:00,080
you won't die.

201
00:14:02,530 --> 00:14:04,960
He has been cruel since childhood, without exception to anyone.

202
00:14:05,250 --> 00:14:06,390
Just because he protected someone before

203
00:14:06,410 --> 00:14:07,840
doesn't mean he'll protect them now.

204
00:14:11,650 --> 00:14:12,320
How about this?

205
00:14:12,460 --> 00:14:15,110
To confirm the demon is truly gone,

206
00:14:15,180 --> 00:14:17,160
I suggest you go

207
00:14:17,940 --> 00:14:19,280
to White Deer Cliff once more.

208
00:14:19,610 --> 00:14:21,510
If she is not dead,

209
00:14:22,130 --> 00:14:25,320
then right now, she must think she has fooled us,

210
00:14:25,460 --> 00:14:27,110
and her guard will be at its lowest.

211
00:14:27,770 --> 00:14:29,590
If we search for her aura now,

212
00:14:29,980 --> 00:14:31,560
we will surely find something.

213
00:14:33,060 --> 00:14:34,920
That is easy for you to say, Sect Master Shi.

214
00:14:35,300 --> 00:14:37,040
Tell me, who in the Gengchen Celestial Palace

215
00:14:37,300 --> 00:14:40,110
would dare to trespass on the Grandmaster's territory?

216
00:14:48,820 --> 00:14:51,110
Then I suppose Sect Master Shi

217
00:14:52,010 --> 00:14:53,160
will have to do it himself.

218
00:14:56,770 --> 00:14:59,710
I am willing to go to White Deer Cliff to investigate, Sect Master Shi.

219
00:15:00,340 --> 00:15:02,390
Good. Master Yuan,

220
00:15:02,890 --> 00:15:05,870
you must be very careful on this trip.

221
00:15:06,250 --> 00:15:07,040
Don't worry, Sect Master.

222
00:15:09,250 --> 00:15:11,510
I must report this matter to the Grandmaster at once.

223
00:15:11,890 --> 00:15:13,080
Wait, Master Yuan.

224
00:15:14,180 --> 00:15:14,840
Master Yuan,

225
00:15:15,180 --> 00:15:16,920
I can't let you take such a risk alone.

226
00:15:17,060 --> 00:15:20,590
I will bring a few disciples and go with you

227
00:15:20,860 --> 00:15:22,160
to ensure nothing goes wrong.

228
00:15:23,130 --> 00:15:23,960
Listen carefully:

229
00:15:24,530 --> 00:15:25,680
once you enter White Deer Cliff,

230
00:15:26,010 --> 00:15:28,390
search immediately for the Demon Realm spy's aura.

231
00:15:28,610 --> 00:15:31,160
If you find her, capture her on the spot.

232
00:15:31,770 --> 00:15:32,280
- Understood. - Understood.

Why are you really here?

237
00:16:05,530 --> 00:16:07,560
To fix my sleep schedule and unwind.

238
00:16:07,890 --> 00:16:09,080
In short, to take a vacation.

239
00:16:09,770 --> 00:16:10,710
Don't you want to kill me?

240
00:16:11,010 --> 00:16:11,470
No.

241
00:16:11,820 --> 00:16:13,040
Why not?

242
00:16:13,060 --> 00:16:15,280
I am just an innocent nobody.

243
00:16:17,940 --> 00:16:19,590
But I thought of a way

244
00:16:19,860 --> 00:16:21,350
that might cheer you up.

245
00:16:22,370 --> 00:16:23,160
It worked!

246
00:16:23,820 --> 00:16:25,110
I raised your realm,

247
00:16:25,530 --> 00:16:26,510
and you use it for this?

248
00:16:27,610 --> 00:16:28,960
It's cheered you up, hasn't it?

249
00:16:29,060 --> 00:16:29,630

nor somewhere I even know well.

255
00:16:45,820 --> 00:16:47,680
For no reason at all, I keep ending up

256
00:16:47,700 --> 00:16:49,440
in life-threatening trouble.

257
00:16:49,980 --> 00:16:51,350
Luckily, I have you, Grandmaster.

258
00:16:51,890 --> 00:16:53,990
With your protection, I can live safely as a nobody,

259
00:16:54,100 --> 00:16:55,710
even in a place this dangerous.

The Demon Realm spy's aura is inside!

263
00:17:26,410 --> 00:17:27,000
Grandmaster.

264
00:17:33,450 --> 00:17:34,280
Grandmaster, this...

265
00:17:34,820 --> 00:17:35,480
What is this?

266
00:17:36,060 --> 00:17:37,110
How dare you trespass?

267
00:17:38,740 --> 00:17:40,000
Do you also want to know what it's like

268
00:17:40,020 --> 00:17:41,520
to be wiped out without a trace?

269
00:17:43,450 --> 00:17:44,240
Forgive us, Grandmaster.

270
00:17:44,650 --> 00:17:45,870
I detected traces

271
00:17:46,130 --> 00:17:49,080
of the Demon Realm spy's aura remaining

272
00:17:49,450 --> 00:17:50,670
and was concerned for your safety,

273
00:17:51,210 --> 00:17:52,870
so I came to report it.

274
00:17:55,690 --> 00:17:57,350
Since you like to busy yourself so much,

275
00:17:58,300 --> 00:17:58,800
come.

276
00:17:59,370 --> 00:18:00,720
Clean this up.

277
00:18:04,100 --> 00:18:04,670
Yes, Grandmaster.

278
00:18:15,650 --> 00:18:17,670
This is the only thing in the room

279
00:18:17,690 --> 00:18:19,110
that carries Liao Tingyan's aura.

280
00:18:19,610 --> 00:18:21,390
It seems she really has been killed.

281
00:18:22,130 --> 00:18:23,590
If you dare trespass again,

282
00:18:24,740 --> 00:18:26,590
you will no longer be the Sect Master.

283
00:18:28,820 --> 00:18:30,000
Understood.

284
00:18:30,410 --> 00:18:30,910
Let's go.

285
00:19:04,300 --> 00:19:06,000
Canglan, you schemed against me?

286
00:19:06,740 --> 00:19:07,520
What did you do?

287
00:19:14,450 --> 00:19:15,040
What's wrong?

288
00:19:16,170 --> 00:19:17,110
What happened?

289
00:19:17,890 --> 00:19:20,000
We can never return to the Demon Realm now.

290
00:19:20,500 --> 00:19:22,350
Sima Jiao killed Liao Tingyan,

291
00:19:22,580 --> 00:19:23,630
leaving no trace of her body.

292
00:19:23,650 --> 00:19:25,150
Her body, her core...

293
00:19:25,170 --> 00:19:26,320
Everything is gone.

294
00:19:26,450 --> 00:19:27,110
What did you say?

295
00:19:27,370 --> 00:19:29,670
Everyone heard it. Sima Jiao said it himself.

296
00:19:29,780 --> 00:19:32,000
He only just realized Liao Tingyan was from the Demon Realm.

297
00:19:32,020 --> 00:19:33,110
Then he killed her.

298
00:19:33,300 --> 00:19:35,080
Even her life lamp has gone out.

299
00:19:36,210 --> 00:19:38,040
Sima Jiao has saved Tingyan many times.

300
00:19:38,410 --> 00:19:40,040
He's been with her constantly since ending seclusion.

301
00:19:40,410 --> 00:19:41,760
Their bond could only have grown deeper.

302
00:19:42,340 --> 00:19:43,870
Would he really have killed her in cold blood?

303
00:19:44,690 --> 00:19:47,670
Ruling, now that Liao Tingyan is dead,

304
00:19:47,930 --> 00:19:49,040
perhaps we should consider

305
00:19:49,060 --> 00:19:50,430
shifting the target to Sima Jiao.

306
00:19:50,890 --> 00:19:51,390
Absolutely not.

307
00:19:51,860 --> 00:19:53,950
To act recklessly under the Grandmaster's nose

308
00:19:54,540 --> 00:19:56,080
would only doom the entire Yin Palace.

309
00:19:56,370 --> 00:19:57,870
What does the Yin Palace have to do with you?

310
00:19:58,500 --> 00:20:00,480
Have you grown so attached to the palace mistress's seat

311
00:20:01,340 --> 00:20:02,720
that you've forgotten Mother's dying wish

312
00:20:03,020 --> 00:20:05,110
and the clansmen still waiting for you to take them home?

313
00:20:05,130 --> 00:20:05,720
How dare you!

314
00:20:08,890 --> 00:20:09,350
Madam,

315
00:20:09,690 --> 00:20:11,520
the Black Serpent that follows the Grandmaster

316
00:20:11,540 --> 00:20:12,520
is requesting an audience.

317
00:20:12,690 --> 00:20:13,280
I will not see him.

318
00:20:20,370 --> 00:20:21,110
Go and tell him

319
00:20:21,580 --> 00:20:22,390
she will see him now.

320
00:20:23,020 --> 00:20:23,630
Understood.

321
00:20:27,100 --> 00:20:27,670
Father,

322
00:20:28,100 --> 00:20:29,320
Sima Jiao is cruel and bloodthirsty.

323
00:20:29,860 --> 00:20:31,480
Liao Tingyan was just a passing amusement for him.

324
00:20:32,450 --> 00:20:34,240
It is no surprise he killed her.

325
00:20:35,130 --> 00:20:36,040
Why are you still worried?

326
00:20:37,580 --> 00:20:40,240
Do you think Sima Jiao has already figured out

327
00:20:40,260 --> 00:20:41,800
that we plan to seal him?

328
00:20:42,170 --> 00:20:44,950
If not, why didn't he attend the banquet at Serene Vale?

329
00:20:47,300 --> 00:20:49,390
If he no longer cared about Liao Tingyan,

330
00:20:50,100 --> 00:20:52,080
it makes sense that he didn't accompany her there.

331
00:20:52,740 --> 00:20:54,240
If he did know about our plan,

332
00:20:54,410 --> 00:20:55,950
he would have already gone berserk.

333
00:21:00,690 --> 00:21:02,390
Until Sima Jiao

334
00:21:02,890 --> 00:21:03,910
is sealed,

335
00:21:04,820 --> 00:21:08,590
I cannot feel at ease.

336
00:21:12,020 --> 00:21:14,280
Any news from Chiyan City?

337
00:21:14,860 --> 00:21:15,630
Nothing yet.

338
00:21:16,260 --> 00:21:17,150
But rest assured, Father.

339
00:21:17,340 --> 00:21:18,670
Everything is proceeding as planned.

340
00:21:27,410 --> 00:21:28,000
Ruling.

341
00:21:29,170 --> 00:21:29,670
Ruling.

342
00:21:31,650 --> 00:21:32,320
No.

343
00:21:33,540 --> 00:21:34,390
Greetings, Madam Ye.

344
00:21:35,450 --> 00:21:36,350
You may leave us.

345
00:21:42,580 --> 00:21:43,760
What happened to Tingyan?

346
00:21:44,170 --> 00:21:45,480
The Grandmaster didn't kill her, did he?

347
00:21:45,930 --> 00:21:46,760
Let's sit and talk.

348
00:21:47,410 --> 00:21:47,840
Come.

349
00:21:51,300 --> 00:21:54,720
Ruling, I don't think Tingyan is dead.

350
00:21:55,060 --> 00:21:55,670
Really?

351
00:21:56,020 --> 00:21:56,870
Then where is she now?

352
00:21:58,100 --> 00:21:58,870
She...

353
00:21:59,450 --> 00:22:01,630
Well, I don't really know where she is now.

354
00:22:02,370 --> 00:22:04,000
But I think the Grandmaster must've found a way

355
00:22:04,020 --> 00:22:04,910
to keep her alive.

356
00:22:05,610 --> 00:22:06,950
He simply doesn't want others

357
00:22:07,340 --> 00:22:08,630
to know her whereabouts.

358
00:22:09,210 --> 00:22:11,840
So you are saying Tingyan is not with the Grandmaster now?

359
00:22:13,450 --> 00:22:16,000
In that case, I can rest easier.

360
00:22:21,540 --> 00:22:22,950
Still, as a man,

361
00:22:23,690 --> 00:22:25,240
you should not come here so often.

362
00:22:25,740 --> 00:22:26,720
People will talk.

363
00:22:34,060 --> 00:22:35,080
What are you doing?

364
00:22:35,450 --> 00:22:36,560
Madam Ye,

365
00:22:37,130 --> 00:22:38,190
please take me as your disciple.

366
00:22:38,610 --> 00:22:40,390
This isn't a place for you to fool around.

367
00:22:40,740 --> 00:22:41,350
Get up.

368
00:22:41,690 --> 00:22:42,840
I am not fooling around.

369
00:22:45,060 --> 00:22:45,670
Ruling,

370
00:22:45,930 --> 00:22:47,520
if I become your disciple,

371
00:22:47,610 --> 00:22:49,520
I will have a reason to see you every day,

372
00:22:50,130 --> 00:22:50,670
and you won't

373
00:22:51,100 --> 00:22:53,430
have to worry about gossip.

374
00:22:54,020 --> 00:22:54,720
So please,

375
00:22:57,300 --> 00:22:58,840
take me as your disciple.

376
00:23:03,690 --> 00:23:05,870
You inherited the Grandmaster's spiritual power and techniques.

377
00:23:06,370 --> 00:23:07,480
What could I possibly teach you?

378
00:23:07,780 --> 00:23:08,480
How to be human.

379
00:23:10,930 --> 00:23:12,280
And you think that is not fooling around?

380
00:23:14,060 --> 00:23:15,280
I am serious.

381
00:23:15,780 --> 00:23:16,670
As you know,

382
00:23:17,370 --> 00:23:19,000
I have only just taken human form.

383
00:23:19,820 --> 00:23:21,150
There are still so many, so many things

384
00:23:21,170 --> 00:23:22,720
about being human that I need to learn.

385
00:23:23,500 --> 00:23:26,000
So, will you be my master?

386
00:23:27,260 --> 00:23:27,910
Please?

387
00:23:29,540 --> 00:23:30,590
Please?

388
00:23:34,650 --> 00:23:35,760
If I had that much time,

389
00:23:36,210 --> 00:23:38,000
I could spend it on my own cultivation.

390
00:23:38,370 --> 00:23:39,870
Why should I waste time teaching you?

391
00:23:40,300 --> 00:23:41,000
Because

392
00:23:41,340 --> 00:23:42,910
if I learn well,

393
00:23:43,260 --> 00:23:45,390
I can become your capable aide,

394
00:23:46,260 --> 00:23:47,280
and you can use me

395
00:23:47,610 --> 00:23:48,720
to get what you want.

396
00:23:52,820 --> 00:23:53,870
What do you mean by that?

397
00:23:54,540 --> 00:23:55,480
I remember

398
00:23:55,890 --> 00:23:57,320
Tingyan once said

399
00:23:57,970 --> 00:24:01,000
you fought with everything you had to become the palace mistress

400
00:24:01,370 --> 00:24:03,000
because there was power you wanted to gain,

401
00:24:03,300 --> 00:24:04,520
things you wanted to accomplish,

402
00:24:04,930 --> 00:24:06,560
and goals you wanted to achieve.

403
00:24:07,930 --> 00:24:08,480
And I

404
00:24:09,860 --> 00:24:11,110
can help you with all of that.

405
00:24:12,500 --> 00:24:15,320
Ruling, he is Sima Jiao's guard.

406
00:24:16,300 --> 00:24:18,390
You must make good use of this pawn.

407
00:24:18,860 --> 00:24:19,480
Trust me.

408
00:24:22,690 --> 00:24:24,590
All right. Come with me.

409
00:24:25,170 --> 00:24:25,950
I will tell you

410
00:24:26,580 --> 00:24:27,480
what I want to do.

411
00:24:53,860 --> 00:24:54,520
Move it.

412
00:24:55,580 --> 00:24:56,320
Get up!

413
00:25:03,020 --> 00:25:03,670
Hurry!

414
00:25:06,580 --> 00:25:07,350
They...

415
00:25:07,780 --> 00:25:08,760
The people here

416
00:25:09,170 --> 00:25:10,870
are all captives taken from the Demon Realm

417
00:25:11,650 --> 00:25:13,280
during the Immortal-Demon War years ago.

418
00:25:13,970 --> 00:25:15,870
They have almost no access to spiritual veins

419
00:25:16,410 --> 00:25:17,910
and have to rely on their scant memories

420
00:25:17,930 --> 00:25:19,040
of the Demon Race to cultivate.

421
00:25:20,580 --> 00:25:23,430
So they are the poorest in cultivation

422
00:25:23,450 --> 00:25:24,840
in the entire Yin Palace.

423
00:25:26,170 --> 00:25:26,720
This

424
00:25:28,540 --> 00:25:30,000
is also where I grew up.

425
00:25:31,170 --> 00:25:32,190
How could this happen?

426
00:25:33,020 --> 00:25:34,190
They are already people

427
00:25:34,210 --> 00:25:35,670
of the Celestial Palace.

428
00:25:36,370 --> 00:25:38,110
They shouldn't be abused like this in the Yin Palace.

429
00:25:39,740 --> 00:25:40,910
Soon, there will be no more abuse.

430
00:25:41,370 --> 00:25:43,240
I have negotiated with the elders for a long time

431
00:25:44,690 --> 00:25:46,560
and finally brought them to abolish their slave status.

432
00:25:46,890 --> 00:25:48,110
So today

433
00:25:48,370 --> 00:25:51,800
is their last day in the Labor Camp.

434
00:25:53,410 --> 00:25:54,190
Ruling,

435
00:25:56,130 --> 00:25:57,000
you must have

436
00:25:58,890 --> 00:26:00,040
suffered so much in the past.

437
00:26:03,340 --> 00:26:06,240
Children, remember this.

438
00:26:07,100 --> 00:26:08,950
No matter how difficult things become in the future,

439
00:26:09,580 --> 00:26:11,080
you must find a way

440
00:26:11,890 --> 00:26:14,110
to lead our people back to our homeland.

441
00:26:16,020 --> 00:26:16,870
But at least

442
00:26:17,540 --> 00:26:18,520
you have done

443
00:26:19,020 --> 00:26:20,670
something great for your people.

444
00:26:21,780 --> 00:26:22,390
But

445
00:26:23,500 --> 00:26:25,150
for most of them,

446
00:26:26,100 --> 00:26:27,320
if they can't return home

447
00:26:27,340 --> 00:26:28,240
in the Demon Realm,

448
00:26:29,260 --> 00:26:30,760
then it doesn't matter

449
00:26:31,450 --> 00:26:32,480
where they live.

450
00:26:35,340 --> 00:26:37,520
I brought you here to tell you

451
00:26:38,740 --> 00:26:39,800
that letting my people

452
00:26:39,970 --> 00:26:41,800
live the life they want

453
00:26:42,170 --> 00:26:43,720
is my true wish.

454
00:26:45,540 --> 00:26:46,390
I will help you.

455
00:26:49,210 --> 00:26:49,950
Really?

456
00:26:50,650 --> 00:26:51,240
Really.

457
00:26:57,970 --> 00:27:01,670
You say you aren't used to being human and don't understand humanity,

458
00:27:02,540 --> 00:27:03,590
but in my eyes,

459
00:27:04,300 --> 00:27:06,480
you're actually more sincere than most people.

460
00:27:12,450 --> 00:27:13,320
Really?

461
00:27:16,930 --> 00:27:17,950
You're making me blush

462
00:27:20,130 --> 00:27:21,870
with all that praise.

463
00:27:24,370 --> 00:27:25,670
If you truly want to help me,

464
00:27:25,930 --> 00:27:27,950
I should, of course, give you something in return.

465
00:27:27,970 --> 00:27:29,240
What do you mean?

466
00:27:29,890 --> 00:27:31,110
I'm willing to be your master.

467
00:27:32,300 --> 00:27:32,950
Master.

468
00:27:34,580 --> 00:27:36,350
I bow to you, Master.

469
00:27:37,540 --> 00:27:38,040
All right.

470
00:27:39,260 --> 00:27:40,950
Since I am now your master,

471
00:27:42,890 --> 00:27:44,870
I will give you a name.

472
00:27:45,580 --> 00:27:46,150
Okay.

473
00:27:46,740 --> 00:27:48,110
Since you are a black serpent,

474
00:27:49,260 --> 00:27:51,670
and the day you took human form was the twenty-ninth of the month,

475
00:27:52,210 --> 00:27:55,000
I name you Hei Nianjiu. What do you think?

476
00:27:55,890 --> 00:27:57,520
You actually remember the day I became human?

477
00:27:58,060 --> 00:27:59,110
What's so hard about that?

478
00:27:59,610 --> 00:28:00,320
Nianjiu...

479
00:28:02,860 --> 00:28:03,760
I like this name.

480
00:28:04,170 --> 00:28:05,000
I'm glad you do.

481
00:28:31,580 --> 00:28:32,280
Grandmaster.

482
00:28:34,500 --> 00:28:36,950
Why does he look so big?

483
00:28:38,930 --> 00:28:41,110
Even his hand reaching toward me looks huge.

484
00:28:41,740 --> 00:28:43,390
It's like he's a giant.

485
00:28:55,890 --> 00:28:56,800
What is that?

486
00:28:59,610 --> 00:29:01,280
Why have I turned into an otter?

487
00:29:15,410 --> 00:29:16,590
Why did you turn me into this?

488
00:29:16,860 --> 00:29:17,870
Change me back!

489
00:29:18,500 --> 00:29:20,110
I want my long legs and pretty face back!

490
00:29:20,340 --> 00:29:21,800
I didn't turn you into this.

491
00:29:23,130 --> 00:29:24,840
You wanted to become this yourself.

492
00:29:26,060 --> 00:29:27,040
Nonsense.

493
00:29:27,370 --> 00:29:28,910
You sly fox, full of lies!

494
00:29:28,970 --> 00:29:30,520
I fed you a Form-Changing Pill,

495
00:29:31,260 --> 00:29:32,080
and it turned you

496
00:29:32,540 --> 00:29:34,320
into the form you remembered most vividly in your heart.

497
00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:41,320
[This otter is so good at playing cute.]

498
00:29:43,780 --> 00:29:46,000
This otter looks so sleek and shiny.

499
00:29:46,210 --> 00:29:47,910
It must feel amazing to pet.

500
00:29:49,260 --> 00:29:50,080
Why, oh why?

501
00:29:50,340 --> 00:29:52,760
I can't feel this great fur myself,

502
00:29:53,130 --> 00:29:54,950
but instead, Sima Jiao gets to enjoy it.

503
00:29:55,340 --> 00:29:56,800
The internet has ruined me...

504
00:29:59,780 --> 00:30:00,840
Change me back!

505
00:30:01,020 --> 00:30:01,840
The Form-Changing Pill

506
00:30:02,540 --> 00:30:04,280
will keep you like this for three months.

507
00:30:04,860 --> 00:30:06,760
Could you move your noble hand away?

508
00:30:07,100 --> 00:30:09,560
I'm a person, not a body pillow, okay?

509
00:30:10,170 --> 00:30:10,870
A body pillow?

510
00:30:12,170 --> 00:30:13,560
Meaning a pillow to hold while you sleep?

511
00:30:14,780 --> 00:30:15,630
That's a fine name.

512
00:30:16,930 --> 00:30:18,430
Why did you feed me the Form-Changing Pill?

513
00:30:19,300 --> 00:30:20,670
Because in the eyes of others,

514
00:30:22,260 --> 00:30:23,040
you are already dead.

515
00:30:25,170 --> 00:30:26,390
Otherwise, sooner or later,

516
00:30:26,410 --> 00:30:27,840
you'd be killed by that traitor, Shi Qianlv.

517
00:30:28,100 --> 00:30:29,840
Isn't he your guardian?

518
00:30:31,610 --> 00:30:33,520
The respect he shows now

519
00:30:34,450 --> 00:30:35,390
is just an act.

520
00:30:36,130 --> 00:30:37,950
So you did this for my sake?

521
00:30:38,610 --> 00:30:41,320
But turning me into an otter is going too far.

522
00:30:42,740 --> 00:30:44,000
I think it's "schoolkid-ish."

523
00:30:44,820 --> 00:30:47,390
That's not how you use that word.

524
00:30:51,060 --> 00:30:51,800
Never mind.

525
00:30:53,100 --> 00:30:55,000
If sleeping could raise your realm,

526
00:30:56,300 --> 00:30:58,240
you'd be dominating the Gengchen Celestial Palace.

527
00:31:06,260 --> 00:31:07,560
Where did this spirit pet come from?

528
00:31:07,780 --> 00:31:09,350
The Grandmaster is so close to it.

529
00:31:13,020 --> 00:31:16,390
Grandmaster, I have a new name now.

530
00:31:16,740 --> 00:31:17,630
It's Hei Nianjiu.

531
00:31:19,610 --> 00:31:20,350
Nice name!

532
00:31:20,610 --> 00:31:21,590
Congrats, Nianjiu!

533
00:31:22,820 --> 00:31:24,670
What are you squealing about, you little thing?

534
00:31:25,100 --> 00:31:25,840
What's it to you?

535
00:31:27,340 --> 00:31:29,480
Even with a new name, he's still the same dumb snake.

536
00:31:30,500 --> 00:31:31,240
Grandmaster,

537
00:31:31,780 --> 00:31:33,280
you value Tingyan greatly.

538
00:31:34,100 --> 00:31:36,000
Surely you didn't really kill her, right?

539
00:31:36,610 --> 00:31:38,800
I haven't even told her my new name yet.

540
00:31:39,820 --> 00:31:41,870
If you don't find out what I told you to investigate soon,

541
00:31:42,580 --> 00:31:43,720
I will kill you, too.

542
00:31:44,340 --> 00:31:45,150
Spare me, Grandmaster.

543
00:31:45,890 --> 00:31:48,110
I've already found that girl.

544
00:31:48,500 --> 00:31:49,590
She's Anxue from the Yin Palace.

545
00:31:50,610 --> 00:31:52,240
I asked Ruling about her.

546
00:31:52,650 --> 00:31:53,430
She said

547
00:31:53,860 --> 00:31:56,000
she hadn't seen Anxue for days.

548
00:31:56,610 --> 00:31:57,910
But her life lamp is still lit,

549
00:31:58,300 --> 00:31:59,150
so she should still be alive

550
00:31:59,580 --> 00:32:00,840
and just hidden somewhere.

551
00:32:02,740 --> 00:32:03,320
By the way,

552
00:32:04,300 --> 00:32:05,240
I've brought many things

553
00:32:05,260 --> 00:32:06,840
Anxue left in the Yin Palace.

554
00:32:07,610 --> 00:32:09,560
Maybe some of them could be useful?

555
00:32:15,580 --> 00:32:18,240
Neither erasing her memory nor killing her outright...

556
00:32:18,820 --> 00:32:20,430
That's not Shi Qianlv's style.

557
00:32:21,100 --> 00:32:23,720
What's so special about this Anxue

558
00:32:24,650 --> 00:32:26,280
that he'd go to so much trouble?

559
00:32:26,930 --> 00:32:29,280
Could it be that Shi Qianlv has taken a liking to Anxue

560
00:32:29,820 --> 00:32:30,870
and has ulterior motives toward her?

561
00:32:41,100 --> 00:32:42,280
You actually guessed it.

562
00:32:42,540 --> 00:32:44,800
That shameless old fool.

563
00:32:47,450 --> 00:32:50,950
You fool, this is something Shi Zhenxu has touched.

564
00:32:54,210 --> 00:32:56,590
So it was Shi Zhenxu who hid Anxue away?

565
00:32:57,060 --> 00:32:58,280
He's the one she's involved with?

566
00:33:09,450 --> 00:33:10,590
Inject this strand

567
00:33:11,340 --> 00:33:12,840
of spiritual power into Anxue's life lamp

568
00:33:13,100 --> 00:33:14,240
and spread the word

569
00:33:15,060 --> 00:33:16,760
that we are looking for her.

570
00:33:18,740 --> 00:33:19,240
Understood.

571
00:33:20,410 --> 00:33:21,150
Who knows?

572
00:33:22,780 --> 00:33:24,590
Perhaps Shi Zhenxu is Shi Qianlv's weak point.

573
00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:29,760
[The new Spirit Fire has taken shape.]

574
00:33:30,580 --> 00:33:31,150
We did it!

575
00:33:32,410 --> 00:33:35,110
The new Spirit Fire has taken shape!

576
00:33:36,650 --> 00:33:37,280
Congratulations, Father.

577
00:33:37,780 --> 00:33:38,670
Now that the Spirit Fire is ready,

578
00:33:39,060 --> 00:33:40,670
we're one step closer to completing our plan.

579
00:33:41,100 --> 00:33:42,280
We've reached a key turning point.

580
00:33:42,540 --> 00:33:43,560
Hurry to Chiyan City.

581
00:33:43,860 --> 00:33:44,760
Get them to speed things up.

582
00:33:44,930 --> 00:33:45,590
Rest assured, Father.

583
00:33:45,780 --> 00:33:47,480
I will not let you down.

584
00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:52,320
[The new Spirit Fire has taken shape.]

585
00:33:54,060 --> 00:33:57,280
Sima Jiao, your days are numbered.

586
00:34:03,580 --> 00:34:05,560
Stay here for now.

587
00:34:06,300 --> 00:34:07,800
Once Father's plan is fulfilled,

588
00:34:08,370 --> 00:34:09,720
we will be together forever.

589
00:34:11,620 --> 00:34:12,720
I'll wait for you to come back.

590
00:34:15,010 --> 00:34:15,760
Goodbye.

591
00:34:37,220 --> 00:34:37,840
Sect Master.

592
00:34:39,820 --> 00:34:43,950
Do you know Sima Jiao is searching for you everywhere?

593
00:34:47,450 --> 00:34:50,950
Zhenxu hasn't performed Soul Cleanse on you yet,

594
00:34:52,340 --> 00:34:53,720
has he?

595
00:34:55,860 --> 00:34:58,030
I will be extra careful in the coming days.

596
00:34:58,340 --> 00:34:59,840
I won't let Sima Jiao find me.

597
00:35:06,300 --> 00:35:06,910
Good.

598
00:35:12,890 --> 00:35:13,510
Go now.

599
00:35:17,410 --> 00:35:18,280
Thank you, Sect Master.

600
00:35:32,050 --> 00:35:33,120
Only the dead

601
00:35:34,570 --> 00:35:36,510
can never be found.

602
00:35:46,260 --> 00:35:46,910
Grandmaster,

603
00:35:47,530 --> 00:35:48,720
Anxue's life lamp went out.

604
00:35:50,090 --> 00:35:51,430
Shi Qianlv killed her.

605
00:35:52,490 --> 00:35:55,160
Looks like we won't be able to get any information from her.

606
00:35:55,930 --> 00:35:56,870
If I want it,

607
00:35:58,050 --> 00:35:59,720
even the dead can come back to life.

608
00:36:11,780 --> 00:36:12,430
Grandmaster.

609
00:36:16,050 --> 00:36:17,510
Still going to protect the one who killed you?

610
00:36:19,890 --> 00:36:22,240
I only wished to be with Zhenxu forever.

611
00:36:23,340 --> 00:36:24,760
Why did he kill me?

612
00:36:26,890 --> 00:36:28,120
I will tell you whatever you want

613
00:36:28,530 --> 00:36:29,550
to know, Grandmaster.

614
00:36:30,410 --> 00:36:31,720
Please avenge me

615
00:36:32,490 --> 00:36:33,510
and kill Shi Qianlv.

616
00:36:34,220 --> 00:36:35,600
What exactly is Shi Qianlv plotting

617
00:36:36,890 --> 00:36:38,120
with Shi Zhenxu?

618
00:36:38,930 --> 00:36:39,470
I...

619
00:36:40,370 --> 00:36:41,280
I don't know.

620
00:36:45,370 --> 00:36:46,680
Where did Shi Zhenxu go?

621
00:36:47,260 --> 00:36:48,070
Chiyan City.

622
00:36:48,970 --> 00:36:51,640
To find someone with a flame-shaped birthmark on their back.

623
00:36:56,740 --> 00:36:58,350
Why is he looking for such a birthmark?

624
00:37:04,370 --> 00:37:07,910
Grandmaster, is she truly gone just like that?

625
00:37:08,700 --> 00:37:09,840
Her soul was completely destroyed.

626
00:37:10,930 --> 00:37:12,120
Even my spell

627
00:37:13,220 --> 00:37:14,680
could only keep her here for a short while.

628
00:37:14,930 --> 00:37:16,720
Shi Qianlv is so ruthless.

629
00:37:17,820 --> 00:37:19,160
Now, I finally understand

630
00:37:19,660 --> 00:37:23,320
what you meant when you said Shi Zhenxu

631
00:37:23,340 --> 00:37:25,390
was Shi Qianlv's weak point.

632
00:37:28,660 --> 00:37:29,390
Let's hear it.

633
00:37:30,410 --> 00:37:33,320
You already knew Shi Qianlv was unhappy about Shi Zhenxu

634
00:37:33,490 --> 00:37:34,950
being involved with Anxue,

635
00:37:35,410 --> 00:37:36,600
so you had me spread the word

636
00:37:36,620 --> 00:37:37,990
that we were looking for her,

637
00:37:38,140 --> 00:37:40,430
knowing his dissatisfaction and resentment

638
00:37:40,740 --> 00:37:42,200
would drive him to kill her.

639
00:37:42,620 --> 00:37:44,680
When you had me inject your spiritual power

640
00:37:44,700 --> 00:37:45,870
into Anxue's life lamp,

641
00:37:46,740 --> 00:37:47,910
it was all in preparation for this day.

642
00:37:48,970 --> 00:37:50,280
You're finally making some progress.

643
00:37:56,300 --> 00:37:56,950
Grandmaster,

644
00:37:58,050 --> 00:37:59,030
this is Tingyan's bed.

645
00:38:06,740 --> 00:38:07,430
Nianjiu,

646
00:38:07,660 --> 00:38:09,680
why do you look like you just lost a dear friend?

647
00:38:10,860 --> 00:38:13,870
Grandmaster, you didn't really kill Tingyan, did you?

648
00:38:16,050 --> 00:38:18,430
Grandmaster, hurry and tell him the truth.

649
00:38:19,450 --> 00:38:20,390
If I didn't kill her,

650
00:38:21,300 --> 00:38:22,720
others would have.

651
00:38:24,090 --> 00:38:25,280
Death was inevitable for her.

652
00:38:27,090 --> 00:38:28,720
Better to end her suffering early.

653
00:38:28,740 --> 00:38:31,510
I don't believe it. You would never kill Tingyan.

654
00:38:32,620 --> 00:38:35,240
You must have hidden her away to protect her,

655
00:38:35,260 --> 00:38:35,720
right?

656
00:38:40,050 --> 00:38:41,200
I can't let this thing

657
00:38:41,220 --> 00:38:42,510
take the Grandmaster's attention away.

658
00:38:43,050 --> 00:38:43,910
I have to do something.

659
00:38:57,370 --> 00:39:00,390
How am I supposed to eat, drink, and have fun like this?

660
00:39:03,050 --> 00:39:04,720
We will go on vacation somewhere else.

661
00:39:05,410 --> 00:39:06,160
Where?

662
00:39:06,620 --> 00:39:08,640
Somewhere more fun than the flying pavilion?

663
00:39:09,050 --> 00:39:09,680
Yes.

664
00:39:10,700 --> 00:39:11,510
You'll see.

665
00:39:11,780 --> 00:39:14,240
Even though you turned me into an animal and keep petting me,

666
00:39:14,930 --> 00:39:16,760
you did it to protect me.

667
00:39:17,930 --> 00:39:20,430
Sima Jiao, I guess you're not completely heartless after all.

668
00:39:34,010 --> 00:39:35,470
What's wrong with these puppet servants?

669
00:39:35,530 --> 00:39:36,390
Are they broken?

670
00:39:36,780 --> 00:39:37,760
These puppet servants

671
00:39:38,450 --> 00:39:40,680
are all eyes for that old fool, Shi Qianlv.

672
00:39:41,820 --> 00:39:43,200
You said it so calmly.

673
00:39:43,620 --> 00:39:45,280
You knew from the start, didn't you?

674
00:39:47,530 --> 00:39:49,470
If I hadn't left him a few flaws to find,

675
00:39:50,010 --> 00:39:51,990
how else would he have lowered his guard?

676
00:39:54,140 --> 00:39:55,470
How long will we be gone?

677
00:39:55,780 --> 00:39:57,120
Will people find out?

678
00:39:57,970 --> 00:39:59,430
I doubt they would dare

679
00:39:59,700 --> 00:40:01,240
to trespass on White Deer Cliff again.

680
00:40:02,970 --> 00:40:04,950
Grandmaster, I'm dull-witted.

681
00:40:05,490 --> 00:40:08,320
I don't know how to have fun the way Tingyan did.

682
00:40:08,450 --> 00:40:09,910
Don't mention that dead woman again.

683
00:40:10,740 --> 00:40:12,910
Have you found who spread the news about Liao Tingyan?

684
00:40:13,340 --> 00:40:13,870
Yes.

685
00:40:15,300 --> 00:40:17,160
It was Anxue from the Three Saints Mountain.

686
00:40:17,780 --> 00:40:19,550
She held a grudge against Tingyan,

687
00:40:20,700 --> 00:40:21,430
so she must have

688
00:40:22,050 --> 00:40:24,350
spread the news to take revenge.

689
00:40:25,450 --> 00:40:26,680
But she's already dead,

690
00:40:27,410 --> 00:40:28,760
so I couldn't get anything out of her.

691
00:40:29,780 --> 00:40:30,470
Sima Jiao,

692
00:40:32,530 --> 00:40:34,350
let's see how much longer you can act so arrogantly.

693
00:40:35,320 --> 00:40:38,320
[Chiyan City]

694
00:40:42,740 --> 00:40:45,120
Is Chiyan City the outer perimeter of the Gengchen Celestial Palace

695
00:40:45,140 --> 00:40:46,640
you mentioned before?

696
00:40:47,090 --> 00:40:47,720
That's right.

697
00:40:48,050 --> 00:40:51,240
The inner area is where the main branches of the great clans reside.

698
00:40:52,220 --> 00:40:54,350
It is rich in spiritual energy and ideal for cultivation.

699
00:40:54,740 --> 00:40:55,430
The outer perimeter

700
00:40:56,050 --> 00:40:57,680
is a gathering place

701
00:40:57,700 --> 00:40:58,720
for smaller affiliated families,

702
00:40:59,340 --> 00:41:01,550
mostly the families of the sect's disciples,

703
00:41:02,140 --> 00:41:03,200
who have lived here for generations.

704
00:41:03,270 --> 00:41:04,250
- Bravo! - Bravo!

705
00:41:04,260 --> 00:41:06,160
There are also common people

706
00:41:06,180 --> 00:41:07,840
who moved here for protection.

707
00:41:08,370 --> 00:41:09,240
So here...

708
00:41:09,430 --> 00:41:09,860
- Bravo! - Bravo!

709
00:41:09,860 --> 00:41:11,510
...everyone's at a low realm.

710
00:41:12,450 --> 00:41:13,840
- I see. - Wonderful!

711
00:41:14,850 --> 00:41:15,570
Nice!

712
00:41:21,630 --> 00:41:23,000
- Bravo! - Bravo!

713
00:41:25,480 --> 00:41:26,460
Again!

714
00:41:31,580 --> 00:41:33,860
- Bravo! - Bravo!

715
00:41:35,370 --> 00:41:37,030
You have good taste, sir.

716
00:41:45,220 --> 00:41:46,660
- Bravo! - Bravo!

717
00:41:46,660 --> 00:41:48,720
It's been so long since I last saw this kind of street scene.

718
00:41:49,410 --> 00:41:52,120
Did you live in a place like this before?

719
00:41:52,700 --> 00:41:53,470
Sort of.

720
00:41:53,570 --> 00:41:54,870
It feels a bit familiar.

721
00:41:56,340 --> 00:41:57,680
We have business to attend to here.

722
00:41:58,300 --> 00:41:59,320
If you like, you can eat

723
00:41:59,930 --> 00:42:01,160
to your heart's content here.

724
00:42:01,410 --> 00:42:02,280
- Great! - All right.

725
00:42:07,660 --> 00:42:08,760
I was talking to the otter.

726
00:42:15,180 --> 00:42:17,680
Grandmaster is so nice to that newcomer.

727
00:42:25,220 --> 00:42:27,430
Why did something inside me just stir?

728
00:42:29,090 --> 00:42:30,350
What is it trying to tell me?
