00:01:41,350 --> 00:01:43,690
[Episode 19]

3
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:02,170
Immortal, please remember

4
00:02:02,710 --> 00:02:05,000
to keep composed, calm,

5
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:06,930
and concentrated all the time.

6
00:02:07,150 --> 00:02:09,000
If you can't find the gate,

7
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:11,630
by no means should you force yourself.

8
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:34,600
Immortal,

9
00:02:35,470 --> 00:02:37,000
have you found that person?

10
00:02:41,310 --> 00:02:42,910
If not, just give up.

11
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:46,360
You've been in your spiritual sea
for a long time.

12
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:47,340
At this rate,

13
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:49,610
your divine sense will be damaged,

14
00:02:49,630 --> 00:02:50,310
Immortal.

15
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:41,340
Get the basin here.

16
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:53,820
Let me feed him.

17
00:03:55,620 --> 00:03:56,490
He will wake up

18
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:57,579
in another 4 hours.

19
00:03:57,910 --> 00:03:58,870
If he experiences

20
00:03:58,870 --> 00:04:00,190
any weakness in the limbs,

21
00:04:00,190 --> 00:04:01,450
dizziness, or nausea,

22
00:04:01,470 --> 00:04:02,600
consider it normal.

23
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:04,310
Feed him medicine every 4 hours.

24
00:04:04,310 --> 00:04:06,000
Then he will recover in 3 to 5 days.

25
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:07,030
Three to five days?

26
00:04:07,030 --> 00:04:08,190
Does it have to be that long?

27
00:04:08,190 --> 00:04:10,120
A black sandstorm is happening outside.

28
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:10,630
I'd say it'll last

29
00:04:10,630 --> 00:04:12,280
at least another day and night.

30
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:13,190
It's hard to determine exactly

31
00:04:13,190 --> 00:04:14,390
how long it will last.

32
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:15,590
We can't go out anyway.

33
00:04:15,590 --> 00:04:17,320
Might as well stay here for now.

34
00:04:18,430 --> 00:04:18,950
Well...

35
00:04:19,730 --> 00:04:20,130
I...

36
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:21,240
Who really are you?

37
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:30,560
My employers.

38
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:32,380
Didn't I tell you already?

39
00:04:32,830 --> 00:04:34,310
Those immortal sect cultivators are

40
00:04:34,310 --> 00:04:35,710
here to catch you, right?

41
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:05,800
I... well...

42
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:06,830
We don't know

43
00:05:06,830 --> 00:05:08,560
any immortal sect cultivators

44
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:10,260
or what you're talking about.

45
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:12,500
Penniless though you are,

46
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:14,630
you hired Lord of Rust-Sword to escort you
along the way.

47
00:05:14,630 --> 00:05:15,890
What are you afraid of?

48
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:21,680
Given Lord of Rust-Sword's personality,

49
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:23,270
he would definitely tell you

50
00:05:23,270 --> 00:05:24,000
that he ranks

51
00:05:24,310 --> 00:05:26,640
second on the List of Top Martial Artists.

52
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:28,630
When the mounted bandits appeared earlier,

53
00:05:28,630 --> 00:05:29,870
you fled in panic

54
00:05:29,950 --> 00:05:31,310
even before seeing them.

55
00:05:31,310 --> 00:05:33,310
Then the young sect master
of Lingji Mountain showed up.

56
00:05:33,310 --> 00:05:35,260
As you learned
he was chasing after a group

57
00:05:35,260 --> 00:05:37,750
of demonic cultivators
who had stolen books,

58
00:05:37,750 --> 00:05:39,080
why did you panic again?

59
00:05:39,330 --> 00:05:40,480
I... I...

60
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:43,800
What should we do?

61
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:44,480
What...

62
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:47,140
are you people talking about?

63
00:05:53,630 --> 00:05:54,270
Immortal.

64
00:05:55,070 --> 00:05:55,670
Immortal!

65
00:05:56,070 --> 00:05:57,270
It's time you woke up!

66
00:05:57,750 --> 00:05:58,350
Immortal.

67
00:05:59,120 --> 00:05:59,830
Immortal?

68
00:06:04,390 --> 00:06:05,250
It's a success.

69
00:06:07,310 --> 00:06:08,110
She found him.

70
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:16,000
Mr. Lu.

71
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:18,680
Mr. Lu?

72
00:06:18,750 --> 00:06:19,280
Who is it?

73
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:21,420
Who's in there?

74
00:06:22,510 --> 00:06:24,040
It's me, Xin Mei.

75
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:25,040
Where are you?

76
00:06:26,310 --> 00:06:27,570
Who are you talking to?

77
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:29,580
I'm in your spiritual sea.

78
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:30,720
Mr. Lu,

79
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:32,290
please come meet me.

80
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:45,530
[Lu Qianqiao's spiritual sea]

81
00:06:52,750 --> 00:06:54,750
What brings you to my spiritual sea?

82
00:06:54,950 --> 00:06:57,040
I used the Spirit Projection Technique.

83
00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:58,040
I traveled my spiritual sea

84
00:06:58,040 --> 00:06:59,680
and found the gate leading to you.

85
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:01,210
That was how I reached here.

86
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:03,170
The Spirit Projection Technique?

87
00:07:03,310 --> 00:07:04,440
There are thousands

88
00:07:04,830 --> 00:07:06,560
of marks in your spiritual sea.

89
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:08,720
It's extremely difficult to locate

90
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:09,800
the gate leading to me.

91
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:10,860
How did you find it?

92
00:07:12,390 --> 00:07:13,520
I'm not sure myself.

93
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:15,890
I just thought I'd give it a try.

94
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:18,190
At first, it was hard to identify
the right gate.

95
00:07:18,190 --> 00:07:18,920
Nonetheless, a blood thread

96
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:20,070
in me came to my aid.

97
00:07:20,830 --> 00:07:22,230
Following its guidance,

98
00:07:22,750 --> 00:07:23,880
I finally found you.

99
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:27,750
You're a hybrid of War Demons

100
00:07:27,750 --> 00:07:28,830
and the Human Race,

101
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:30,680
burdened with the Five Deficiencies Curse.

102
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:32,600
To get rid of the divine punishment
and reincarnate as a human,

103
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:33,860
you must pass 5 trials:

104
00:07:33,950 --> 00:07:36,630
skin and flesh replacing, bone renewal,
blood purification, and heart alteration.

105
00:07:36,630 --> 00:07:38,630
Each trial hangs by a thread
between life and death.

106
00:07:38,630 --> 00:07:40,270
You must find a blood relative

107
00:07:40,270 --> 00:07:41,510
to form a blood pact with you

108
00:07:41,510 --> 00:07:43,360
and build a connection
in your spiritual sea,

109
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:44,920
so when you stand at death's door,

110
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:46,270
that bond may grant you a lifeline—

111
00:07:46,270 --> 00:07:47,600
a chance to cheat death.

112
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:49,120
You have no family,

113
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:50,650
so you have to marry someone

114
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:52,680
to establish this blood pact.

115
00:07:54,630 --> 00:07:55,890
Why did you come see me?

116
00:07:56,159 --> 00:07:56,920
Don't you know

117
00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:57,920
why I came see you,

118
00:08:00,420 --> 00:08:02,180
Lord Lu Huai?

119
00:08:15,950 --> 00:08:16,390
Miss,

120
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:18,780
here are the two cloaks you asked for.

121
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:24,510
What do you think?

122
00:08:24,510 --> 00:08:25,000
Not bad.

123
00:08:25,210 --> 00:08:26,160
Pack them up for me.

124
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:26,680
Sure.

125
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:30,520
Thank you.

126
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:31,980
Sir, do you know any

127
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:32,750
camel caravan

128
00:08:32,750 --> 00:08:34,320
that is leaving the city soon?

129
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:35,960
Don't you see
a black sandstorm is approaching?

130
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:37,360
The wind is already picking up.

131
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:38,870
No camel caravan
will risk leaving the city.

132
00:08:38,870 --> 00:08:40,200
They are all resting now.

133
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:41,120
How many days

134
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:42,520
will the sandstorm last?

135
00:08:42,870 --> 00:08:43,730
Who would know?

136
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:45,200
When it ends, it ends.

137
00:08:48,660 --> 00:08:50,700
[Tailor Shop]

138
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:51,370
Take care, miss.

139
00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:33,770
That's the full account of events.

140
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:34,860
I didn't expect

141
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:36,320
to meet you again

142
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:37,520
in Chongling Valley.

143
00:09:37,750 --> 00:09:38,480
So by the time

144
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:40,140
I woke up at the Safe Haven Inn,

145
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:41,980
I hadn't had a severe illness.

146
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:44,040
You had just erased my memories,

147
00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:44,750
right?

148
00:09:47,750 --> 00:09:48,200
Right.

149
00:09:48,750 --> 00:09:49,880
I don't understand.

150
00:09:50,630 --> 00:09:52,230
You have great powers.

151
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:53,800
In Chongling Valley,

152
00:09:53,910 --> 00:09:55,200
even Cang Fengzi from Tianyuan Sect

153
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:56,330
was no match for you.

154
00:09:57,030 --> 00:09:57,550
But back then,

155
00:09:57,550 --> 00:09:59,150
why did you let yourself be imprisoned

156
00:09:59,150 --> 00:10:01,150
and willingly die a death by 1,000 cuts?

157
00:10:01,150 --> 00:10:03,610
Knowing full well
that you wouldn't perish,

158
00:10:03,630 --> 00:10:05,090
why did you marry me at all?

159
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:08,600
Sorry.

160
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:10,700
I had my own reason to do so.

161
00:10:10,870 --> 00:10:12,270
I just can't tell you why.

162
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:13,910
Although I learned

163
00:10:13,910 --> 00:10:15,270
the truth afterwards,

164
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:17,870
I couldn't have done anything

165
00:10:17,870 --> 00:10:19,150
to you since I was a mere

166
00:10:19,580 --> 00:10:22,180
Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator.

167
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:23,240
Why did you have to

168
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:24,270
erase my memories?

169
00:10:24,270 --> 00:10:26,600
Why did you continue to
keep me in the dark?

170
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:31,720
That was never my intention.

171
00:10:32,510 --> 00:10:33,840
Meeting you again in Chongling Valley

172
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:34,970
was a pure accident.

173
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:40,120
I know

174
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:42,570
I've brought you much trouble.

175
00:10:42,870 --> 00:10:44,080
Whatever compensation you want,

176
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:44,810
just name it.

177
00:10:45,630 --> 00:10:46,360
I'll say yes.

178
00:10:48,910 --> 00:10:51,240
But you just can't give me an explanation,

179
00:10:51,670 --> 00:10:52,240
can you?

180
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:03,630
Fine.

181
00:11:04,850 --> 00:11:06,910
Then let me ask you one last question.

182
00:11:09,510 --> 00:11:10,080
Ask away.

183
00:11:12,270 --> 00:11:13,800
Where are you at the moment?

184
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:24,420
Young Sect Master,

185
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:25,570
what's on your mind?

186
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:28,250
Something's wrong.

187
00:11:29,270 --> 00:11:30,800
Something is really wrong.

188
00:11:31,740 --> 00:11:32,780
What is wrong?

189
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:36,810
There's something odd about those people

190
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:38,250
around Lu Qianqiao.

191
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:39,600
Could they be

192
00:11:39,870 --> 00:11:40,960
the demonic cultivators

193
00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:42,000
who stole

194
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:43,660
from the Scripture Pavilion?

195
00:11:44,030 --> 00:11:45,230
What makes you say so?

196
00:11:45,550 --> 00:11:46,630
Previously, when I was talking

197
00:11:46,630 --> 00:11:47,490
to Lu Qianqiao,

198
00:11:47,870 --> 00:11:48,750
those people around him

199
00:11:48,750 --> 00:11:49,950
looked very nervous.

200
00:11:50,350 --> 00:11:51,410
They seemed sneaky

201
00:11:51,510 --> 00:11:52,670
and suspicious.

202
00:11:53,150 --> 00:11:54,120
Chongling Valley

203
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:55,720
has always been close to mortals.

204
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:56,720
Could Lu Qianqiao

205
00:11:57,030 --> 00:11:57,720
be covering

206
00:11:57,720 --> 00:11:59,030
for these people?

207
00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:01,120
If that's true,

208
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:02,870
it'll be bad news.

209
00:12:05,030 --> 00:12:05,550
Why?

210
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:07,440
Because we can't defeat him.

211
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:08,640
Are you silly or what?

212
00:12:08,970 --> 00:12:10,630
We don't have to fight those people.

213
00:12:10,630 --> 00:12:11,560
What we need to do

214
00:12:11,630 --> 00:12:13,840
is to figure out their backgrounds first.

215
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:15,270
If our guess is proven correct,

216
00:12:15,270 --> 00:12:17,000
we'll take them down directly.

217
00:12:17,270 --> 00:12:18,870
There's no need to fear Lu Qianqiao,

218
00:12:18,870 --> 00:12:20,480
since those people stole from us first.

219
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:21,540
We're in the right.

220
00:12:22,150 --> 00:12:22,680
Let's go!

221
00:12:29,550 --> 00:12:30,840
Young Sect Master Lin.

222
00:12:32,630 --> 00:12:34,200
You seem to be in a hurry.

223
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:35,960
Where are you heading?

224
00:12:37,060 --> 00:12:38,550
It's none of your business.

225
00:12:38,550 --> 00:12:39,480
Get out of my way.

226
00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:45,100
A bunch of mortals

227
00:12:45,100 --> 00:12:47,240
managed to steal
from your precious library.

228
00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:48,750
The immortal sects in the Central Plains

229
00:12:48,750 --> 00:12:50,880
like yours are really getting better.

230
00:12:51,870 --> 00:12:52,750
Have I been

231
00:12:52,750 --> 00:12:54,630
too polite to you these days?

232
00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:58,030
Catching a bunch of ordinary mortals

233
00:12:58,030 --> 00:12:59,000
actually

234
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:01,460
requires action
from the young sect master.

235
00:13:02,270 --> 00:13:03,200
Is everyone else

236
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:05,720
dead here in Lingji Mountain?

237
00:13:06,790 --> 00:13:07,600
Seriously?

238
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:10,150
Is Jiang Ji also dead?

239
00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:29,750
Lu,

240
00:13:30,510 --> 00:13:31,440
what's with you?

241
00:13:32,870 --> 00:13:34,130
Please say something.

242
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:46,790
The greatest form is without shape.

243
00:13:46,790 --> 00:13:47,360
Drop!

244
00:14:19,390 --> 00:14:21,790
You caused that incident at Bishui Branch.

245
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:23,750
After killing Hewabu,

246
00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:25,550
instead of scurrying back

247
00:14:25,550 --> 00:14:26,790
to the Central Plains,

248
00:14:26,790 --> 00:14:29,000
you have the gall to stay in North Xiang.

249
00:14:29,670 --> 00:14:31,130
You must have a death wish.

250
00:14:32,030 --> 00:14:33,760
Did Zuo Yingying tell you that?

251
00:14:34,910 --> 00:14:37,080
She means to set us
fighting against each other

252
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:39,150
so she can reap the benefits effortlessly.

253
00:14:39,150 --> 00:14:40,000
Too bad

254
00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:41,840
that she won't see it happen.

255
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:43,200
Because you will soon

256
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:45,080
be killed by me.

257
00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:01,440
For a burly man,

258
00:15:01,910 --> 00:15:03,510
your moves are quite gentle.

259
00:15:03,670 --> 00:15:05,270
That wasn't a pleasant tune.

260
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:06,380
Don't you think so?

261
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:42,410
Cover your ears!

262
00:16:06,150 --> 00:16:06,750
It's over.

263
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:19,250
You do have a few tricks up your sleeve.

264
00:16:22,150 --> 00:16:22,750
Immortal,

265
00:16:23,270 --> 00:16:24,400
you really found it?

266
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:27,080
How did you do that?

267
00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:30,910
What are we going to do now?

268
00:16:32,550 --> 00:16:33,080
Sheng.

269
00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:34,720
Sheng!

270
00:16:40,750 --> 00:16:41,610
Senior Sister,

271
00:16:41,790 --> 00:16:42,870
I have to leave first

272
00:16:42,870 --> 00:16:44,070
for an urgent matter.

273
00:16:44,270 --> 00:16:45,730
You should hurry back too.

274
00:16:45,790 --> 00:16:46,720
Try not to delay.

275
00:16:47,030 --> 00:16:47,600
Sheng!

276
00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:13,109
I finally found you.

277
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:19,920
A sandstorm is coming.

278
00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:20,640
We can't leave the city.

279
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:22,900
-Where are we going?
-Where are we going?

280
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:38,310
Who are you looking for?

281
00:17:38,310 --> 00:17:38,720
Run.

282
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:40,130
Run as far as you can!

283
00:18:34,590 --> 00:18:35,450
Take them away.

284
00:18:36,110 --> 00:18:36,640
Let's go.

285
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:48,790
I don't care what grudges you have

286
00:18:48,790 --> 00:18:49,920
against each other.

287
00:18:50,070 --> 00:18:51,400
I'll only ask one thing.

288
00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:52,590
Are they

289
00:18:52,590 --> 00:18:55,120
demonic cultivators from Wushuang Society?

290
00:18:59,550 --> 00:19:01,210
I'll take your silence as yes。

291
00:19:03,070 --> 00:19:03,960
Then I'm sorry.

292
00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:05,750
I have to take

293
00:19:06,360 --> 00:19:07,810
these people away today.

294
00:19:08,750 --> 00:19:09,960
Who do you think you are?

295
00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:11,510
You think you can do that
just because you say so?

296
00:19:11,510 --> 00:19:13,750
Since we share the same goal,

297
00:19:14,110 --> 00:19:15,680
why don't we team up?

298
00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:20,640
Dharma King, you're great yourself.

299
00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:22,240
Why join forces with others?

300
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:24,790
Even I dare not interfere.

301
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:26,960
Stop making sarcastic remarks.

302
00:19:27,310 --> 00:19:28,480
If they get away,

303
00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:30,850
the Master will hold you accountable.

304
00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:03,830
Who are you?

305
00:20:04,030 --> 00:20:05,510
I am Xia Xuanzi.

306
00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:08,250
What enmity lies between us

307
00:20:08,390 --> 00:20:09,680
that you seek my life?

308
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:23,420
Do you recognize this man?

309
00:20:24,070 --> 00:20:25,550
I am his father.

310
00:20:28,070 --> 00:20:29,830
I'm going to kill you.

311
00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:32,400
I'm going to kill you!

312
00:20:32,750 --> 00:20:33,830
I did kill him.

313
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:35,550
If I hadn't,

314
00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:37,180
he would've taken my life.

315
00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:39,700
Glad that you admitted it.

316
00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:42,000
I'll kindly give you a quick death then.

317
00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:39,310
Master, help!

318
00:22:05,110 --> 00:22:06,920
I don't mean to give you a hard time.

319
00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:08,180
But they stole from us,

320
00:22:08,550 --> 00:22:09,110
so I have to

321
00:22:09,110 --> 00:22:10,640
bring them back for a trial.

322
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:51,400
How dare you, a lapdog for immortal sects,

323
00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:54,000
defile the dignity of the Phoenix God?

324
00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:55,550
You'll be dead meat!

325
00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:09,010
What an evil technique.

326
00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:10,510
What did he just drink?

327
00:23:14,530 --> 00:23:15,430
Spare us, Dharma King!

328
00:23:15,430 --> 00:23:16,760
Please spare our lives!

329
00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:05,170
Anything wrong?

330
00:24:06,450 --> 00:24:07,640
You hold them off for a while.

331
00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:08,070
But...

332
00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:09,340
how do I do that?

333
00:24:12,790 --> 00:24:13,550
Kill them.

334
00:24:14,590 --> 00:24:16,640
Kill all of them!

335
00:24:45,790 --> 00:24:46,480
Mr. Lu.

336
00:24:48,930 --> 00:24:49,860
Leave this to me.

337
00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:08,000
Mr. Lu!

338
00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:09,240
Lu,

339
00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:10,590
wake up!

340
00:25:23,110 --> 00:25:24,170
What are you doing?

341
00:25:24,590 --> 00:25:26,050
He's not the one I am after.

342
00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:28,280
Plus, I know this person.

343
00:25:29,350 --> 00:25:30,410
You can't kill him.

344
00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:35,600
Young Sect Master,

345
00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:37,110
should we keep on fighting?

346
00:25:37,110 --> 00:25:38,770
Do we still want to catch them?

347
00:25:38,830 --> 00:25:39,960
That can wait a bit.

348
00:25:52,830 --> 00:25:54,230
You're at the Void Stage.

349
00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:56,890
The Spirit Projection Technique.

350
00:25:58,070 --> 00:25:59,920
You mere Nascent Soul cultivator,

351
00:25:59,920 --> 00:26:00,980
who really are you?

352
00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:24,700
Why not attack now?

353
00:26:24,830 --> 00:26:25,780
Once he wakes up,

354
00:26:26,070 --> 00:26:27,930
we'll stand no chance of winning!

355
00:26:28,030 --> 00:26:29,160
How will that be?

356
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:32,550
Dharma King, you haven't used
your full strength yet.

357
00:26:32,550 --> 00:26:34,000
If you do,

358
00:26:34,270 --> 00:26:36,070
none of them can be match for you.

359
00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:08,970
It is truly not easy for you,

360
00:27:09,310 --> 00:27:11,510
a Nascent Soul cultivator, to have caused

361
00:27:11,510 --> 00:27:12,770
this much damage to me.

362
00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:15,400
What a shame

363
00:27:16,230 --> 00:27:17,270
that you're only controlling

364
00:27:17,270 --> 00:27:19,440
a Foundation Establishment Stage
cultivator's body.

365
00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:22,240
Otherwise, things would be
a bit difficult for me.

366
00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:33,500
It's time to put an end to all this!

367
00:27:58,550 --> 00:27:59,640
Impressive.

368
00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:01,310
So are you.

369
00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:04,830
You have
extraordinary cultivation power.

370
00:28:04,830 --> 00:28:07,000
The Foundation Establishment Stage focuses
on physical strength, not the spirit.

371
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:09,160
The Golden Core Stage focuses
on the spirit, not the heart.

372
00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:11,200
The Nascent Soul Stage focuses
on the heart, not the energy.

373
00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:12,960
Given that, cultivators at these stages

374
00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:15,070
all have easily identified weak spots,

375
00:28:15,070 --> 00:28:18,200
namely their heads and necks, hearts,
and energy bases.

376
00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:20,790
When they reach the Void Stage,

377
00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:23,240
their weak spots become veiled.

378
00:28:23,790 --> 00:28:25,310
I can see that your breathing is steady

379
00:28:25,310 --> 00:28:26,750
and your weaknesses are hidden.

380
00:28:26,750 --> 00:28:27,880
I guess you have reached

381
00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:29,590
the middle phase of the Void Stage.

382
00:28:29,590 --> 00:28:30,720
You know quite a lot.

383
00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:32,040
Not only that,

384
00:28:32,310 --> 00:28:33,200
I'm also aware

385
00:28:33,830 --> 00:28:35,550
that though there is one mere gap
between the middle

386
00:28:35,550 --> 00:28:36,960
and top phases of the Void Stage,

387
00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:39,090
it is utterly challenging to cross it.

388
00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:41,640
The reason is
that towards the end of cultivation,

389
00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:45,240
cultivators usually lack energy,
but have no way to replenish it.

390
00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:47,370
Those who can't overcome this problem

391
00:28:48,110 --> 00:28:49,640
will show their weak spots.

392
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:57,160
All is over now.

393
00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:05,410
How did you figure that out?

394
00:29:09,850 --> 00:29:12,100
♪ I ask the Nine Heavens:
what is the purpose of this life? ♪

395
00:29:12,130 --> 00:29:14,920
♪ With my spine as my monument,
I shall never kneel ♪

396
00:29:15,890 --> 00:29:17,990
♪ Though this life be wretched,
I will not sink so low ♪

397
00:29:18,010 --> 00:29:20,830
♪ As to become a puppet of fate ♪

398
00:29:22,290 --> 00:29:25,650
♪ Rather than bowing my back
to apologize to the Heavens ♪

399
00:29:26,010 --> 00:29:28,750
♪ I would sooner rewrite
this fated calamity ♪

400
00:29:29,140 --> 00:29:31,660
♪ I demand the story
follow my own desire ♪

401
00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:34,280
♪ To serve as its final conclusion ♪

402
00:29:54,590 --> 00:29:56,720
It's been a pleasure working with you.

403
00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:02,300
Take them down.

404
00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:26,720
Sir,

405
00:30:26,740 --> 00:30:27,850
w-where are you taking me

406
00:30:27,850 --> 00:30:28,480
to?

407
00:30:30,350 --> 00:30:31,350
H-How about this?

408
00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:32,720
Let's make a deal.

409
00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:34,640
I'll leave with my men right away.

410
00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:35,300
And I promise

411
00:30:35,300 --> 00:30:36,000
I'll never mess with

412
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:36,770
your people again.

413
00:30:36,770 --> 00:30:37,230
Agreed?

414
00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:38,800
P-Please put me down now.

415
00:30:40,310 --> 00:30:41,750
P-Please put me down!

416
00:30:53,350 --> 00:30:54,070
Mr. Lu.

417
00:31:19,310 --> 00:31:20,110
Don't kill me.

418
00:31:20,310 --> 00:31:21,110
Don't kill me!

419
00:31:21,510 --> 00:31:23,160
V-Vajra Xunmu,

420
00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:24,440
I didn't see anything,

421
00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:25,830
and I won't disclose anything.

422
00:31:25,830 --> 00:31:27,030
Please spare my life.

423
00:31:27,030 --> 00:31:27,680
From now on, I...

424
00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:28,920
I will follow you wholeheartedly

425
00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:30,030
and even risk my life for you

426
00:31:30,030 --> 00:31:31,360
with absolute loyalty!

427
00:31:31,550 --> 00:31:32,310
Really?

428
00:31:32,750 --> 00:31:33,270
Really!

429
00:31:37,070 --> 00:31:38,730
Then I'd love to have you prove

430
00:31:39,180 --> 00:31:41,010
your loyalty with your life.

431
00:31:59,550 --> 00:32:02,480
-Greetings, Vajra Xunmu.
-Greetings, Vajra Xunmu.

432
00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:17,570
Greetings, Master.

433
00:32:19,590 --> 00:32:20,480
You're back.

434
00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:21,680
I'm so useless

435
00:32:21,790 --> 00:32:24,050
that I failed to save Dharma King Wenyin.

436
00:32:24,310 --> 00:32:26,030
Who killed him?

437
00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:28,640
The young sect master of Lingji Mountain,

438
00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:29,590
son of Lin An,

439
00:32:29,660 --> 00:32:30,490
Lin Muhan.

440
00:32:34,030 --> 00:32:37,050
[The Crescent Lake]

441
00:32:48,110 --> 00:32:49,040
Wipe your hands.

442
00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:51,440
Thank you, Mr. Lu.

443
00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:01,120
After our parting in Chongling Valley,

444
00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:02,480
I've been having weird dreams

445
00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:03,540
every now and then.

446
00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:06,750
Everything that happens in these dreams

447
00:33:06,750 --> 00:33:08,640
sometimes seems real, and sometimes fake.

448
00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:09,970
It's vague and obscure.

449
00:33:11,070 --> 00:33:13,200
All appears ethereal and disorderly.

450
00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:15,310
But I always feel like I have

451
00:33:15,310 --> 00:33:17,370
experienced everything in reality.

452
00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:22,160
Suppose one's memories

453
00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:23,960
stand for his or her entire life,

454
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:27,790
then I guess I have died once.

455
00:33:32,510 --> 00:33:34,240
What exactly should I call you?

456
00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:37,110
Are you Lu Huai,
the magistrate of Wei County,

457
00:33:37,110 --> 00:33:39,070
or the Autumn Crimson Blade,
a hero from the martial arts world,

458
00:33:39,070 --> 00:33:39,590
or...

459
00:33:39,590 --> 00:33:40,850
My name is Lu Qianqiao.

460
00:33:43,470 --> 00:33:44,870
"Qian" means thousands,

461
00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:46,560
and "Qiao" means tall trees.

462
00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:48,020
I've told you that.

463
00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:49,790
Yes, you have.

464
00:33:50,750 --> 00:33:52,350
You've said many words to me,

465
00:33:53,030 --> 00:33:54,640
yet not all of them are real.

466
00:33:57,480 --> 00:33:58,940
Should I even believe you?

467
00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:01,500
I did lie to you.

468
00:34:02,680 --> 00:34:04,410
Your anger is understandable.

469
00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:05,680
But right now,

470
00:34:05,680 --> 00:34:07,540
I have a very important task to do.

471
00:34:07,830 --> 00:34:08,960
When I finish it,

472
00:34:09,710 --> 00:34:11,370
I'll give you an explanation.

473
00:34:11,710 --> 00:34:13,510
With that said, please trust me.

474
00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:15,230
I have no intention of harming you.

475
00:34:15,230 --> 00:34:17,110
Aside from erasing my memories,

476
00:34:18,030 --> 00:34:20,090
are you hiding anything else
from me?

477
00:34:34,710 --> 00:34:36,239
Good thing I didn't lose it.

478
00:34:37,550 --> 00:34:38,610
It's a type of candy

479
00:34:39,070 --> 00:34:40,920
made exclusively in North Xiang.

480
00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:41,980
Have you tasted it?

481
00:34:43,440 --> 00:34:44,110
No, never.

482
00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:50,699
Then you can have this.

483
00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:14,410
It's very sweet.

484
00:35:19,970 --> 00:35:21,430
Give me the handkerchief.

485
00:35:22,190 --> 00:35:23,000
I'll wash it.

486
00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:28,630
Lu Qianqiao,

487
00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:31,090
you are a War Demon, aren't you?

488
00:35:45,210 --> 00:35:46,540
What are they doing?

489
00:35:46,670 --> 00:35:47,880
How very baffling.

490
00:35:57,800 --> 00:35:59,130
This is tamarind candy.

491
00:35:59,150 --> 00:36:00,350
It tastes rather sour

492
00:36:01,110 --> 00:36:02,440
without any sweetness.

493
00:36:06,590 --> 00:36:08,320
You don't have a sense of taste,

494
00:36:08,630 --> 00:36:09,150
do you?

495
00:36:12,440 --> 00:36:13,730
You are a War Demon.

496
00:36:15,030 --> 00:36:17,160
I should have thought of that earlier.

497
00:36:21,360 --> 00:36:22,360
You didn't like to eat

498
00:36:22,360 --> 00:36:24,030
when we were in Chongling Valley.

499
00:36:24,030 --> 00:36:25,490
All you took in was liquor.

500
00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:28,590
It's said that War Demons find everything

501
00:36:28,590 --> 00:36:29,920
they eat tastes rotten.

502
00:36:30,310 --> 00:36:31,440
Only the spiciness of liquor

503
00:36:31,440 --> 00:36:32,840
can provide some relief.

504
00:36:33,440 --> 00:36:34,230
Later on, upon hearing

505
00:36:34,230 --> 00:36:35,880
about my erased memories,

506
00:36:36,630 --> 00:36:37,840
I went to Wei County

507
00:36:38,670 --> 00:36:40,270
and visited your residence.

508
00:36:40,880 --> 00:36:41,920
You made all your paintings

509
00:36:41,920 --> 00:36:43,150
with black ink only.

510
00:36:43,590 --> 00:36:44,590
That's because War Demons

511
00:36:44,590 --> 00:36:46,050
cannot tell colors at all.

512
00:36:47,190 --> 00:36:48,630
Suffering the cruel death

513
00:36:48,630 --> 00:36:49,960
by 1,000 cuts

514
00:36:51,550 --> 00:36:53,400
causes severe damage even to a cultivator

515
00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:54,590
at the Void Stage.

516
00:36:56,150 --> 00:36:57,920
Yet it left no scar on you at all.

517
00:36:58,710 --> 00:37:00,440
You healed unbelievably fast.

518
00:37:01,280 --> 00:37:03,810
War Demons are endowed
with that ability too.

519
00:37:08,880 --> 00:37:09,740
Given all that,

520
00:37:10,280 --> 00:37:12,280
you erased my memories to prevent me

521
00:37:12,360 --> 00:37:14,490
from figuring out your real identity.

522
00:37:19,590 --> 00:37:20,800
War Demons

523
00:37:21,230 --> 00:37:22,830
are bloodthirsty by nature.

524
00:37:23,840 --> 00:37:25,440
Many years ago,
to build the heavenly ladder

525
00:37:25,440 --> 00:37:26,920
and ripen the seed of Jianmu Tree,

526
00:37:26,920 --> 00:37:29,510
you War Demons inflicted severe harm
on thousands of innocents.

527
00:37:29,510 --> 00:37:30,360
If it hadn't been for the alliance

528
00:37:30,360 --> 00:37:32,070
of immortal sects and the Youhu Clan,

529
00:37:32,070 --> 00:37:33,200
the world would have

530
00:37:33,360 --> 00:37:35,360
fallen under the rule of War Demons!

531
00:37:36,150 --> 00:37:37,070
It has been

532
00:37:38,480 --> 00:37:40,680
several decades since that brutal war.

533
00:37:40,710 --> 00:37:41,920
Yet the smell of blood

534
00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:44,320
on this land has not faded

535
00:37:44,320 --> 00:37:45,580
after all these years!

536
00:37:45,800 --> 00:37:46,630
The buried bones

537
00:37:46,630 --> 00:37:47,670
of our ancestors in the ground

538
00:37:47,670 --> 00:37:48,930
have not gone cold yet!

539
00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:51,200
There is rage between our races,

540
00:37:51,230 --> 00:37:53,360
and a blood debt of near annihilation!

541
00:37:58,230 --> 00:37:59,030
Then what?

542
00:38:00,510 --> 00:38:01,840
What do you want me to do?

543
00:38:03,230 --> 00:38:05,160
Among the thousands of households

544
00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:07,260
that the War Demons swept through

545
00:38:07,440 --> 00:38:08,700
in hundreds of cities,

546
00:38:08,760 --> 00:38:10,360
not even one in ten survived.

547
00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:12,960
Back then, 24 immortal sects joined forces

548
00:38:12,960 --> 00:38:14,760
to fight against the War Demons.

549
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:17,000
Half of these sects were destroyed.

550
00:38:17,550 --> 00:38:18,710
At that time, there were

551
00:38:18,710 --> 00:38:20,770
dozens of disciples in Xin Xie Manor.

552
00:38:21,110 --> 00:38:22,970
In the end, I was the only one left.

553
00:38:23,840 --> 00:38:25,170
With such feud in heart,

554
00:38:25,510 --> 00:38:27,110
what do you expect me to do?

555
00:38:31,190 --> 00:38:33,030
Lu Qianqiao, say something!

556
00:38:35,400 --> 00:38:36,800
What do you want me to say?

557
00:38:37,550 --> 00:38:38,880
What do you want me to do?

558
00:38:39,500 --> 00:38:41,230
Do you want me to snap your neck,

559
00:38:41,760 --> 00:38:43,360
devour your flesh and blood,

560
00:38:43,500 --> 00:38:44,900
and torture you to death?

561
00:38:45,710 --> 00:38:47,630
Or do you want me to grovel on the ground

562
00:38:47,630 --> 00:38:48,920
and beg you not to tell anyone

563
00:38:48,920 --> 00:38:49,920
my real identity?

564
00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:54,670
It is true that I tried to conceal

565
00:38:54,670 --> 00:38:55,870
my identity from you.

566
00:38:56,230 --> 00:38:57,830
Because I knew once I said it,

567
00:38:58,320 --> 00:38:59,650
whatever between us...

568
00:39:16,880 --> 00:39:18,340
would have to end this way.

569
00:39:23,440 --> 00:39:24,360
So,

570
00:39:25,670 --> 00:39:27,530
the important task you mentioned

571
00:39:28,030 --> 00:39:29,090
actually refers to

572
00:39:29,410 --> 00:39:31,280
shedding skin, replacing flesh,
renewing bones

573
00:39:31,280 --> 00:39:33,110
and blood, and transforming the heart

574
00:39:33,110 --> 00:39:34,320
in exchange for being reborn

575
00:39:34,320 --> 00:39:36,380
and reincarnating as a human, right?

576
00:39:37,320 --> 00:39:38,980
This approach is known to few.

577
00:39:39,760 --> 00:39:40,150
I happen to

578
00:39:40,150 --> 00:39:42,210
have read about it in an ancient book.

579
00:39:43,480 --> 00:39:44,400
Does it mean

580
00:39:45,920 --> 00:39:47,980
that you're done living as a War Demon

581
00:39:48,110 --> 00:39:49,970
and now craving to become a human?

582
00:39:54,920 --> 00:39:57,250
You War Demons have killed so many people.

583
00:39:57,480 --> 00:39:59,190
Now that you've lost the battle,

584
00:39:59,190 --> 00:40:00,400
you're seeking a new start

585
00:40:00,400 --> 00:40:02,260
by secretly turning into a human?

586
00:40:02,280 --> 00:40:03,940
What right do you have to do so?

587
00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:10,050
I'm just a mediocre cultivator

588
00:40:10,800 --> 00:40:13,060
at the Foundation Establishment Stage.

589
00:40:13,070 --> 00:40:15,270
You might consider me inferior, Mr. Lu,

590
00:40:15,510 --> 00:40:16,840
but I did slay War Demons

591
00:40:17,550 --> 00:40:19,400
with this machete years ago!

592
00:40:22,070 --> 00:40:22,710
Yes.

593
00:40:23,280 --> 00:40:25,810
War Demons have committed
countless crimes.

594
00:40:26,440 --> 00:40:28,070
You're a disciple of an immortal sect.

595
00:40:28,070 --> 00:40:29,800
I am a remnant of the War Demons.

596
00:40:30,320 --> 00:40:31,520
It's only reasonable

597
00:40:31,760 --> 00:40:33,090
that you want to kill me.

598
00:40:33,400 --> 00:40:34,660
But ask yourself this:

599
00:40:35,070 --> 00:40:36,330
have I ever harmed you?

600
00:40:36,630 --> 00:40:37,760
Have I ever hurt you?

601
00:40:39,480 --> 00:40:41,070
All my senior brothers

602
00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:44,360
died at the hands of your kind!

603
00:40:45,960 --> 00:40:48,190
That makes all of you brutal animals!

604
00:40:50,920 --> 00:40:51,880
But I am not.

605
00:40:52,440 --> 00:40:53,640
You are no different.

606
00:40:54,030 --> 00:40:55,440
You are no different!

607
00:41:03,360 --> 00:41:04,000
Fine.

608
00:41:05,480 --> 00:41:06,630
Take my life then.
