[Season 2: Episode 7] (Episode 47)

[Previously]

If you stay, you'll just become a hindrance to Qingtan.

What mission does the Clan of Darkness have?

I'm the Ancestral Talisman Successor. I'll endure it for her.

Once you accept it, it's equivalent to accepting the Dark Palace.

Once you're done with all the handovers,

there are some words that I must tell you.

What happened today was not your real intention.

No!

When killing Chen Lang, I was very awake.

He fooled me and almost killed Master.

Just to stably sit in this Palace Master position of the Dark Palace, I must personally kill him.

They must die.

These words, these ideas,

who taught them to you?

Brother, you want to ask

if it was Lin Langtian who taught them to me. Right?

His words are actually not completely unreasonable.

If you don't get stronger and always rely on others, you will always be used by others.

But what you're doing is not being strong. You are...

This is being vicious and ruthless. Playing a game with their minds.

But it works.

- You... - Am I right?

I know that you don't want me to be like this.

But I... don't mind.

Old Jiu, you are so considerate.

You knew that my stomach has suffered throughout this journey.

He is...

Old Jiu, a guard that I grew up with.

When I caused trouble before, he usually became my scapegoat.

Young Master.

This is Xiao Yan, my good buddy.

I am an elder of the Sky Marten Tribe, Hao Jiuyou.

Since you are a friend of Young Master, then you are an important guest of the tribe.

Oh, right. If not for Old Jiu, I wouldn't have easily escaped from my father.

You ran away from home?

What important guest? We came back not to be guests.

Since you're successful now, secretly settle us down and serve us with good food and wine.

Look for some more people to help us search for someone.

Young Master, this...

When you came out, did you tell my old man?

Since I'm an elder, I can't hide things from the Marten King.

Moreover, you know that Old Marten King will not fall for the same trick twice.

What's happening? Isn't Old Marten King your father?

We're in big trouble! Bastard! You're so disloyal!

- Stupid Tiger, let's meet ten miles from here. I'll escape now. - Young Master.

No need to treat her.

She forced herself to increase in cultivation rank and just subdued the Darkness Sickle.

She exhausted a lot of energy and isn't used to it yet.

Just let her sleep for a while and she'll be fine.

Senior, as her brother, I feel very grateful to you for saving and training Qingtan.

I agreed to let you take Qingtan away.

I initially thought that you would protect her well.

Taking her away was not to protect her.

I had her come here hoping that she could prop up the Dark Palace.

You should have at least given her time.

I can't just watch as she becomes another Lin Langtian.

Qingtan is Qingtan. She's not some Lin Langtian.

What is your real motive for deliberately planning everything and forcing Qingtan to cultivate and inherit your position?

I don't have... any more time.

These are...

A human's power comes from their yuan pellet,

while a Yi-Demon's power comes from its fallen spirit.

And the fallen spirit of the Yi-Demon Emperor is very uniquely different.

For centuries, I have been researching

the enchantment that can completely destroy the fallen spirit of the Yi-Demon Emperor.

Centuries?

Senior, who are you really?

I'm the Master of Darkness among the Eight Ancient Masters.

Ancient Eight Masters?

Didn't they all die centuries ago?

They indeed have died.

Master used all his might and was only able to preserve my life.

After sacrificing so much,

we were still unable to completely destroy the Yi-Demon Emperor.

I was able to live because the Darkness Talisman halted my time.

In these centuries that I've lived,

my only duty was to look and practice an enchantment that can completely destroy the Yi-Demon Emperor.

You forced Qingtan to quickly inherit your position because the Darkness Talisman

can't support your body anymore.

There must be a successor to the Dark Palace and Qingtan is the only suitable choice.

I initially planned that after Qingtan took over,

I would go look for the fleshly shell of the Yi-Demon Emperor and die along with it.

Senior? Senior!

Tribe Leader.

I beg Tribe Leader to be lenient on Young Master.

You rascal, when you ran away last time,

you peed on the sacred altar of our tribe.

You even boldly said that if one day I catch you,

I must tie you upside down and beat you.

Now, I've caught you.

Old thing... Shameless! You used underhanded tricks!

You ran away on your wedding day with a member of the Nine-Tailed Fox Tribe.

You caused the Princess Royal of the Nine-Tailed Fox Tribe to almost become a widow for a lifetime.

Now, you have the nerve here to call me shameless?

You left because you didn't want to get married?

Shut up! But I never agreed to that marriage!

It's not my say, nor yours.

The Nine-Tailed Fox Tribe and our Marten Tribe have been good friends for generations.

A marriage between our tribes is a rule that Fu Zu set centuries ago.

Stop using that rotten calendar of Fu Zu to fool me.

Let me tell you that I'm now an ancestral talisman successor.

I even have a Big Brother, who is the successor of Fu Zu.

Afraid now?!

Right, we got separated from Big Brother.

Hoping Tribe Leader can help us find him.

A successor of Fu Zu can also get lost?

After saying so much,

it's just a hoax.

You two, one being suspicious, the other spouting nonsense.

Bring these two back.

- Yes. - Wait a minute!

So, you've seen Master Fu Zu himself.

I even said yesterday that I'm going to be him.

No wonder, it didn't work on you.

Your power and character is not even a finger of my master.

But your appearance when you protected me and Qingtan today,

is indeed a bit similar to my master's.

Hence, I've ignited a hope in you. Am I right?

It can't be said to be hope, but, at least,

you're not as useless as I thought.

You are still so far from being like Fu Zu.

Just focus on being the Ancestral Talisman Successor.

With your current body,

it's even questionable if you can find the body of the Yi-Demon Emperor.

And Qingtan cares about you a lot.

If you just rashly seek death, she will be sad.

When I was little, my father told me stories

about how a lot of great heroes would immediately die after fulfilling their grand undertaking.

With Qingtan here, at least you have a reason to continue living.

Just treat it as accompanying her for a bit longer.

Sometimes, living is more difficult than sacrificing.

In the past, Fu Zu preserved your life.

He surely didn't wish that you'd casually use it to perish with someone, right?

This world was obtained in exchange for the lives of Fu Zu and the other Talisman Masters.

As long as you're living in it, then you're not alone.

Hence, please treat yourself better.

Stop living like a someone alive but dead.

Every time that you miss the other masters,

I can be your drinking buddy anytime.

Do you have any other words for Qingtan?

Tell her that her brother is going to the Monster Domain.

He's waiting to fight side-by-side with the Palace Master of the Dark Palace.

I am currently the successor of the Thunder Talisman.

Whoever dares come near, I'll strike him.

I once swore that I was going to be the master of my fate.

If you dare use force, I can dare fight back.

Let me see how strong you are in front of me.

Xiao Diao, let's settle this amicably. He is your father after all.

How many times did he hit me when I was little?

What's wrong if I fight back just once?

The wheel of fortune turns. Retribution always comes.

Quickly escape! Think of a way to save me!

I don't want to get married!

Go!

All right, all right already!

He's not from our tribe so just let him go.

It's fine as long as this soon to be married man is left behind.

How about it? Retribution always comes.

Do you feel good now?

Rascal, even if you train for 900 more years, you won't beat me.

I considered that you were old and your body was worn out; hence, I let you win.

This thing seems to be real.

If this Thunder Talisman is real,

then what Young Master said earlier might be true, too.

Go and look around.

See if there is that person he mentioned called...

Lin Dong!

Jiuyou, that... It's currently deep autumn right now.

The auspicious period for the marriage between the Nine-Tailed Fox Tribe and the Sky Marten Tribe hasn't passed, right?

It hasn't passed.

Old man!

Send a letter to the Nine-Tailed Fox Tribe then.

Express our apologies for us breaking our agreement last time.

This time, I'm going to hold a huge banquet in the Marten Tribe

and personally deliver this rascal to his wedding chamber.

I'm not going! Let me go!

What about the Fire Python-Tiger earlier?

That area is quite dangerous.

You already said that he's a Fire Python-Tiger.

It's not our business anymore.

Don't go! Come back here! Old man!

Come back here! Untie me!

- Young Master. - Let me go!

Sorry.

Old Jiu...

Let go of me!

If Xiao Diao successfully reached the Monster Domain,

he probably would return to his Sky Marten Tribe to ask for help.

Sky Marten Tribe...

Where is it?

I won't die from thirst here in the Gobi, right?

Timing and Subtitles brought to you by The On Fire Penguins Team @ Viki

Everyone, go ahead and recondition yourselves!

Be careful.

Have some water.

Here.

Keep it up.

Be careful.

Exert more effort.

Are you okay?

Let's do it together.

Be careful, let's pull it up.

Here.

So, it's three squirrels.

It's your honor that I ate your nuts.

Tell me. If I give you money, do you dare take it?

Hand me your food. Hand it over!

Hand it over! Where did you hide it?

Why are you crying? So noisy!

Which blind creature dares to meddle in our White Wolf Tribe's business?

Aren't you afraid to die?!

White Wolf Tribe?

Have you heard of a Fire Python-Tiger that's afraid of wolves?

- We thank Hero for saving our lives. - We thank Hero for saving our lives.

- These are the specialty nuts of our Squirrel Tribe here in the Monster Domain.

- Savior, please have a taste. - Savior, please have a taste.

Here, Xinqing, drink some water.

Do you know that other than the Monster Domain, there are other places in this world?

Other than this desert,

there are snow mountains, grasslands, little bridges, and flowing waters.

Xinqing, Tribe Leader has given instructions

to stop you from reading about what lies outside the Monster Domain.

I know. If you read too much about them, your heart will get confused.

How far are we still from the Sky Marten Tribe?

There's still half a day's travel. The Marten King has already prepared the wedding banquet.

It's my last half day of freedom.

Every moment counts then.

Xinqing, where are you going?

I've stayed in my tent for such a long time.

If I don't go out and walk around, my legs will become crippled.

With Auntie Xin around, where can I go?

Xinqing, be careful of ambushes.

There are White Wolves Tribesmen wandering around here and a bandit called Yan Jiang.

This is very near the Sky Marten Tribe. Who dares act recklessly?

Give me the water. Go now.

We'll set up camp here today!

Deliver a basin of sand to Princess Royal's tent later!

For other tribesmen shedding their fur, look for your own sand bath.

We'll soon arrive in the Sky Marten Tribe territory. You must not lose proper etiquette.

Later, look for a dark and cool place to hide the food and drinks.

There are a lot of bandits in the desert. Everyone, be careful.

- Yes! - Yes!

Selling nuts!

The nuts of the Squirrel Tribe are very big and delicious.

Selling nuts!

- The nuts of the Squirrel Tribe are very big and delicious. - It's the Squirrel Tribe.

Why are they here?

Three little squirrels, why are you here?

We traveled far to go to the Monster Domain Forest to pick some nuts.

To avoid the White Wolves Tribe,

we took the long road.

Little squirrels, sell your nuts to me.

Lingshan, if you eat too many nuts here in the desert, you'll get thirsty.

The distributed water is not enough. You must not be reckless.

I understand, Auntie Xin.

We'll get going then.

- Goodbye. - Goodbye.

Be careful on your way.

- I'll go send them off.- Hey!

Timing and Subtitles brought to you by The On Fire Penguins Team @ Viki

You're stealing water to drink again.

Auntie Xin.

I just knew that you'd steal water to drink after eating too many nuts.

You child, you have been spoiled too much.

Auntie Xin...

- Auntie Xin... - Hand it over.

Hand it to me.

Stealing is prohibited in our tribe.

Even a princess is not exempt.

This time, you're punished to not drink water for a day. Treat it as a little punishment to prevent larger mistakes.

One day?

Auntie Xin, I admit my mistake.

It's all because the nuts of those little squirrels were so delicious.

I won't do it again.

Lingshan, how many times have I told you that water is very precious here in the desert?

Every day, everyone is given a set ration.

If you drink more, then someone will drink less.

You are even a young princess. If this is for others, what should they do?

- Auntie Xin... - You should learn your lesson.

Be more like your sister.

Auntie Xin, don't be mad anymore.

Lingshan is young and inexperienced. It's all my fault for not disciplining her well.

I'll endure her punishment instead.

No! I'd rather die from thirst rather than to trouble you, Sister!

Lingshan, you better be more careful.

Once Xinqing gets married tomorrow, if you get into trouble again, nobody will bear it for you.

Auntie Xin, Sister was also raised by you.

- How could you be so heartless? - Lingshan!

How could you blame Auntie Xin for the matter tomorrow? I willingly agreed to it.

Xinqing, I know that you've always been obedient and sensible.

We still have to travel tomorrow. You also should start preparing.

- Thank you, Auntie Xin. - I'll get going then.

Here.

Next time, if you want to drink water, just ask for it from me.

Also, don't contradict Tribe Leader again just for my matter.

Sister, marriage is a forever thing.

Are you really willing to be manipulated by others?

I have my plans for the future.

Sister, you can hide it from others, but not from me.

I know that you've always wanted to leave the Monster Domain and look at the world outside.

I surely will think of a way to fulfill your dream.

I think that it's you who wants to go out and play.

Lingshan, you are also a princess.

You must be mature and sensible.

- Stop angering Auntie Xin. All right? - Understood.

Remember it well.

Who are you?!

Miss, sorry.

What are you holding?

Water.

- Can give me some to drink? - No.

Why not?

I'm saving this for my sister.

If this is gone, my sister will then have to be married off to the Sky Marten Tribe.

What did you say?

Did you say that your sister is marrying into the Sky Marten Tribe?

You also know about them?

Can you tell me where it is?

Why would I tell you?

Can you tell me your name?

Mu Lingshan!

What is your name?

Me... My name is...

Give me some water and I'll tell you.

- Really? - Yes.

You must not lie to me!

What is your name?

Tell me where the Sky Marten Tribe is and I'll tell you.

You little thief!

Little thief!

Auntie Xin, leave first.

No. You can't handle them by yourself.

Quickly look for Lingshan and escape with her.

I'm the Princess Royal. Protecting my tribe's people is my duty.

Auntie Xin, I'm leaving Lingshan to you.

No!

Xinqing!

Brother has left?

You exhausted too much energy when you subdued the Sickle Spirit and became unconscious.

Lin Dong rushed to the Monster Domain to look for the ancestral talismans;

hence, he left first.

I've disappointed him.

He probably feels that I'm becoming more like Lin Langtian

and is mad at me.

Qingtan, this matter is my fault.

I was too impatient.

I rushed too much to make you inherit the Darkness Talisman.

Thinking about it now,

I've pressured you too much.

No such thing.

That time, I just wanted to prove myself.

I didn't want to keep following my brother.

Your brother asked me to tell you

that he will be waiting for you in the Monster Domain,

waiting for you to fight side-by-side with him.

He's not mad at me?

He told me that since they found you in Qingyang Town,

you are forever his little sister.

Master, I feel that you don't hate brother that much anymore.

I searched for centuries

to find a person worthy of my nagging.

If Master sees how I am now,

he probably wouldn't believe it, either.

Master, are my brother and Fu Zu very much alike?

My master was like a jade. He would rather get shattered than get tainted.

That Lin Dong is like a wild grass,

unable to be completely burned, very strong and unyielding.

Able to stand up again after getting beaten down.

He's not bad.

What about me?

Silly girl, you'd left the Dark Palace such a long time ago.

I kept looking for you.

I never gave up.

I want to help my brother, can I?

Qingtan, you have now completely inherited the Darkness Talisman

and become the Master of Darkness.

You are now qualified to fight the Yi-Demon Emperor.

In the future, you don't need to ask me for permission.

Master.

Qingtan... remember,

no matter what, don't be a person who gets left behind.

It's too lonely.

As long as you have even a bit of energy left,

you must fight with your companions until the end.

Even if your body shatters, you must not waver.

Because at the very least,

you will not be left alone nor have any regrets.

I understand.

That's what happened.

Although initially, he wanted to trick me into giving him my water bag,

he still helped us out afterward.

So that's the case. It is indeed fortunate that he helped out earlier.

How about this? I'll prepare some water and food for him later,

so he can take them on his journey.

Auntie Xin, it's so hard to travel alone in this vast desert.

Why not just let him come with us?

Auntie Xin, our Nine-Tailed Fox Tribe values gratitude.

I think that person is very skilled, too.

How about just letting him come with us?

Since that's the case, we'll take him with us.

Once we reach the Sky Marten Tribe, we'll ask the Marten King to help him look for his friends.

Let's go.

Tell me stories from your world.

My world?

The world outside Monster Domain.

I want to know what the place that Sister likes really looks like.

Lin Dong!

We're getting married.

The doors of the Monster Domain suddenly closed several decades ago.

The younger generations of our Nine-Tailed Fox Tribe don't know that there are worlds beyond the Monster Domain.

We all just follow the rules set by Fu Zu.

The rule in our Nine-Tailed Fox Tribe is when the Princess Royal reaches a certain age,

she must get married off to the Sky Marten Tribe.

But when she was little, Sister saw a picture book.

It seems to have been left by people from your world.

From then on, Sister and I learned that there are a lot more other places here in this world.

Hence, Sister doesn't want to stay here in Monster Domain forever.

She wants to go to the outside world and take a look.

What about you? You also want to go?

Sister and I have had no mother since we were little.

Sister raised me up by herself.

Hence, I want to go wherever my sister goes.

I'll start my story with a place called Qingyang Town.

Good.

Qingyang Town...

Don't run! Lin Dong, don't run! Come over here!

I don't believe that a Dao Sect Princess like me won't be able to catch a wild rascal like you!

Why do you treat me so well?

Why are you looking at me like that?

If you say that you like me, I'll understand then.

Get lost!

Talisman Guild.

If you agree to my three conditions,

I can try being the Guild President.

Say it.

It's a deal then. I know that you're full of crafty ideas.

If you dare trick me, I will immediately leave.

I'll stay here. I won't go anywhere.

Why are you not telling it anymore?

Sister!

Sister! Auntie Xin!

He's fine.

Sister, what are you doing?

He's fine. I placed a sleeping potion in his wine.

Sister!

Sister!

Give me the ancestral talisman that you're carrying.

Hurry!

This LIn Dong is indeed not simple.

- How come... - He has the Devour Talisman.

When he was fighting with the White Wolves, I already felt something was fishy.

He clearly has great martial arts skills, but he deliberately hid them.

And he even carries an ancestral talisman. He might be harboring evil intentions and has a hidden motive.

- Sister, I feel that Brother Lin isn't a bad person-- - What do you know?!

It's hard to know the true heart of a person. Whether he's good or bad, it won't be written on his face.

I thought he could help us.

Indeed, he can. With this.

I don't understand.

I suddenly thought of a way where I don't need to get married nor run away.

Really?

Hurry. If we don't leave, it will be too late.

- Quickly go! - But...

Sister!

Sister, you should at least tell me where we're going and what we're doing, right?

Close your eyes.

- Why? - Close them.

So, in this Monster Domain, there isn't just one person who wants to escape their wedding.

I'm talking about you.

A Yi-Demon is at this wedding banquet.

It's among these people.
