ZHU XIAN Immortal Executioner

Episode 4

Master,

the world is in grave danger.

That's why we've come abruptly.

That demon calls itself the Beast God.

It's an ancient monster

with an unknown origin.

It is only known that it once wreaked havoc,

slaughtering countless lives.

Even if we exhaust the strength of Fenxiang Valley,

we can't rival it.

Master,

please consider all lives

and call for the united efforts of the world.

Our Fenxiang Valley

will be the vanguard

to rectify the world.

If what you said is true,

it will be a catastrophe for all living beings in the world.

Even ants dare to strive with valor.

For us who cultivate righteousness,

we should

step forward even more.

I will write to Master Pu Hong

and ask the monks from Tianyin Temple to come to Qingyun

and discuss plans together.

In this way,

I feel somewhat relieved.

Also,

I have one more thing to say.

It's a good thing.

On behalf of my disciple, Li Xun,

I wish to propose to Lu Xueqi from your sect

for marriage.

My disciple and I are sincere,

and we hope you'll grant it.

How dare he!

Shameless.

I wonder what you

think of it.

You can dream on.

It's simply absurd.

Junior Shuiyue,

Xueqi is your disciple.

What do you think

of this matter?

Master.

Facing a formidable enemy...

If this marriage alliance can be formed,

such rumors

will vanish like smoke.

According to the rules of Qingyun Sect,

how should we treat those associated with the cult?

They shall never leave Qingyun,

with their cultivation abolished.

Xueqi,

as your master, I do not wish you to go astray.

Whatever notoriety there is,

I will bear it alone.

Congratulations.

Congrats.

Xueqi.

This can be considered

a pleasant story.

It might be passed down through the ages

and praised by the people.

Xun,

hurry up and give thanks.

Lady Lu has celestial grace.

Only Senior Li is worthy of her.

Senior,

is Xueqi really going to marry Li Xun?

Isn't she and...

Stop the nonsense.

You've granted our proposal.

I will

offer three cups as a toast.

Master Yun, you are too kind.

Hold on.

Xueqi,

do you have anything to say?

I am unwilling.

My heart...

Why...

Taotie?

Taotie is an ancient fierce beast.

It's been gluttonous.

It may come for the roasted pig.

Taotie

Remove your true form

to have a share.

If you snatch it,

you might get little.

Enough.

You can eat.

You mean it looks like Dahuang?

Three-Eyed Monkey?

Good move.

My Taotie has long ceased

to pay attention to ordinary delicacies.

I never expected that it'd suppress its ferocity

for your barbecue.

It's a roasted pig.

Just to fill up.

A fine saying.

Speaking of which,

don't all creatures under heaven

hustle all day long

just to fill up?

Put in this way,

aren't people

just like beasts like Taotie?

They aren't.

How?

Love,

hate,

passion,

and enmity.

People have feelings.

But the beasts also have feelings.

If you kill a wild boar,

it's in pain and fear before death.

If I killed you,

what'd be the difference

between you and it?

There is.

What is the difference?

I have had great regrets in my life.

They're engraved on my heart,

making my life worse than death,

but I can't die.

If I live,

there is still hope.

If I die,

it'll make me a coward who betrays feelings.

How can beasts

have such feelings?

This Taotie

has followed me for countless years.

I thought I'd been taking care of it.

I only realized today

that it is much happier than me.

Besides being well-fed,

there's also your monkey

willing to be its friend.

If you are lonely,

why not find a friend?

In this vast world,

who is worthy of being my friend?

And who

dares to be my friend?

But

there was once someone,

and I sincerely believed in her.

Later,

I realized she was deceiving me.

Not only that,

she almost caused my eternal ruin.

Do you also have such sad past stories?

Judging by your complexion,

your illness seems to be incurable.

If you died now,

any last attachments?

My last attachments...

If only I could awaken Biyao,

I would die willingly.

But

what about after Biyao awakens?

Life is short and bitter.

Why trouble yourself?

Just follow your heart,

and seek no regrets.

Seek no regrets.

I have to go back and take a look.

With the calamity,

I wonder

how many people can survive it.

We practice the Tao and seek the truth.

So we must follow the Way of Heaven

and protect life.

Our lineage of Dazhu Peak

absolutely has no coward who's afraid of death.

Master.

Madam.

Today, Lu Xueqi publicly rejected Fenxiang Valley's marriage proposal.

Marriage proposal?

Senior Shuiyue has always cared for this disciple.

I don't know

why she did not oppose the marriage.

Is Li Xun very bad?

In her eyes,

maybe he is much better than Xiaofan.

How did this get involved with Xiaofan?

On that rainy night at Mount Liubo,

wasn't she with...

I need to see her after all.

I have also thought about

that matter from years ago.

If I were the sect leader,

I'm afraid

I would also have swung that sword.

But since I am his master,

I would rather

give up my position on the Yuqing Hall

to protect him thoroughly.

He's a good young man.

Yet he ended up

being expelled from the sect.

I don't care what they say.

I never said I would expel him...

Buyi.

I am unwilling.

I didn't expect

Qingyun to have a rebellious disciple like you.

Good.

Since you are so stubborn,

I will...

Wen Min,

take her back to Xiaozhu Peak

for secluded reflection.

Senior, why

have you returned?

Zhang...

Xiaofan.

How

are you?

Since you're here,

why don't you come over?

Dappled shadows of bamboo

Splinter the mortal moonlight below

I once said,

Frost chills the silent night,

Snow drifts down from the Moon Palace above

when we meet again,

we will be sworn enemies.

Silver glow wells in tearful eyes

Why did you

The mountain winds hush and still—

come to see me?

All because you glanced back, just once

Moonlight weaves like silken threads,

Binding my heart in cocooned layers

Oaths turn to sharpened blades, severing past ties, one after another

Alright,

you...

Though near as a breath,

seem to have lost weight.

Still, we’re worlds apart—

Braving a thousand perils, all to behold your face again

We cross paths, then drift away,

Parting from both love and hate

How could mere words

Untangle a thousand sorrows?

I am very happy.

A prisoner of my heart for life,

Did the Fenxiang Valley

I drink bitter wine alone

propose marriage to you?

When the last drop is gone,

Yes.

Only death will still this love

My master and the sect leader

both agreed.

To the ends of earth and sea, you remain as you once were

You are unwilling.

Right.

I am unwilling.

Through shifting rights and wrongs, I embrace love’s madness, unafraid

Heaven’s Edge blade drinks its fill of blood—

You...

Fates entangle, lifetime after lifetime,

Come with me.

Unforgettable

Unforgettable

To the ends of earth and sea, you remain as you once were

Through shifting rights and wrongs, I embrace love’s madness, unafraid

Where to?

Anywhere.

To the ends of the earth.

A lone sword fades into distant mist

Lavish dreams crumble to dust—

All that remains is pain

Nothing but pain

And what about Biyao?

Moonlight weaves like silken threads,

Binding my heart in cocooned layers

Oaths turn to sharpened blades,

Severing past ties, one after another

Though near as a breath,

Still, we’re worlds apart—

Braving a thousand perils, all to behold your face again

We cross paths, then drift away,

Parting from both love and hate

How could mere words

Untangle a thousand sorrows?

A prisoner of my heart for life,

I drink bitter wine alone

When the last drop is gone,

Only death will still this love

To the ends of earth and sea, you remain as you once were

Through shifting rights and wrongs, I embrace love’s madness, unafraid

Heaven’s Edge blade drinks its fill of blood—

Fates entangle, lifetime after lifetime,

Unforgettable

Unforgettable

To the ends of earth and sea, you remain as you once were

Through shifting rights and wrongs, I embrace love’s madness, unafraid

A lone sword fades into distant mist;

Lavish dreams crumble to dust—

All that remains is pain

Nothing but pain

All that remains is pain

Nothing but pain
