LOVE AND REDEMPTION

EPISODE 56

Yu Si Feng.

It’s been three days now.

You came so early. Are you here to admit defeat?

I just want Xuan Ji to see everything that belongs to us.

No matter what your game is, it’s all but useless.

Xuan Ji and I once planted a tree that looked exactly like that.

It was blooming with blue blossoms and covered with wind chimes.

Those notes contained our feelings.

I wrote down everything from memory.

So much time has passed, I didn’t expect

that I’ve never forgotten any one of them.

I’ve told you, what you’re doing is totally meaningless.

Chu Xuan Ji is already gone. Give it up!

Is that true?

Why can’t you take another look then?

You’re afraid that you can’t confine Xuan Ji anymore.

Do you think you can seal everything?

Xuan Ji is right here.

She can hear me talking to you.

She remembers everything.

Do you remember

that you love blue flowers the most?

Blue flowers?

Xuan Ji.

I remember.

And I remember that my favorite wine is the Flower Wine from Fuyu Island.

Xuan Ji, is that you?

You’re back?

Come back to me quickly!

Don’t be ruled by Star of Mosha’s soul!

I don’t know.

Can you see me through his eyes?

Xuan Ji.

I can see you!

I can!

Si Feng.

Tell me quickly. What else do I like?

Xuan Ji!

Xuan Ji!

You like dessert.

You like the fragrance of flowers.

You like the moonlit night in Shaoyang, and all the places we’ve visited together.

We’ve agreed to spend the rest of our lives in utopia.

Right.

Utopia.

Is the Rose Gold Bird clan hiding in utopia too?

- Where are they? - In the swamp of Longshan Village.

Where exactly in that swamp?

You’re not Xuan Ji!

Yu Si Feng, oh, Yu Si Feng.

You truly love her deeply.

You fall for this trick every time.

I just didn’t expect you to come to your senses so soon.

But I’ve asked almost everything.

Rose Gold Birds are in the swamp of Longshan Village.

You actually used hallucination spell to worm facts out of me?

How could you call yourself Demon Lord?

You’re so despicable to break your promise!

It’s already seven o’clock.

Three days have passed.

Your Chu Xuan Ji didn’t appear at all.

I’ve kept my word

and only used hallucination spell on you after seven o’clock.

Accept the defeat, Yu Si Feng.

All your childish memories, and pitiful love

are petty and insignificant in my eyes.

- They are worth nothing. - You’re lying!

Xuan Ji clearly responded.

The eyes can’t hide it.

It’s Xuan Ji.

Xuan Ji is affecting you.

I’m Rahu Ketu, the Lord of Demon Citadel.

No one can stop me even if I were to destroy the world.

Do I need to lie to a pest like you?

Even if this primordial spirit was in love with you

when it became Chu Xuan Ji, so what?

So what if she pledged eternal loyalty to you before?

She was just playing along. It’s entirely unreal.

She didn’t understand in the past.

Now that she has all my memories,

she’ll know that those sincere love, and eternal promises

are the biggest joke!

Why don’t you believe it from the beginning?

What have you been through?

Yu Si Feng,

do you think the piece of memory left in Chu Xuan Ji’s primordial spirit

will allow you to do as you wish without costing you your life?

Fine. I’ll show you the price you’ll pay for offending me.

Xuan Ji.

Si Feng! Let go of him!

Let go of him!

Don’t hurt Si Feng!

Let go of him!

I forbid you to hurt Si Feng!

Let go of him!

Let go of him!

Let go of him!

Rahu Ketu!

I won’t let you hurt Si Feng!

Let go of him!

Did you hear that?

Si Feng!

Xuan Ji!

Si Feng!

Xuan Ji!

Si Feng!

Leave here quickly!

We promised to stay inseparable!

How could I abandon you?

Don’t be so foolish!

Xuan Ji!

Get lost!

Rahu Ketu,

you lost.

Xuan Ji has always been here.

She appeared.

I told you, you can’t kill me.

Xuan Ji will never let you kill me.

I only showed you mercy, and spared you your life because you saved

my primordial spirit many times before.

However, don’t take my kindness as your bargaining chip.

I’ve sealed your meridians.

Before I find the Rose Gold Bird,

you better stay in the Demon Citadel.

Chu Xuan Ji, are you going to put away thousands years

of hatred and humiliation we’ve suffered?

I don’t want to kill anyone.

I don’t want all life to live in misery.

And I want Si Feng to be well.

Yu Si Feng again.

Do you want to be with him so much, and refuse to part with him?

- Do you really believe in this? - Yes!

I believe in Si Feng!

Have we not suffered enough in the past?

Didn’t we use to believe in friendship, our friends

and the people we loved?

But what happened in the end?

What did we go through? What did we get?

Trust me.

Stop resisting me.

I’m doing this for our sake.

I’ll make everyone who hurt us pay the price for it.

Hurry and let Xuan Ji out!

Barging in my chamber?

Do you really wish to die?

Xuan Ji, do you not recognize us anymore?

We’re your family.

Family?

I, Rahu Ketu, have lived for over 10,000 years.

You mortals only live for several decades.

How dare you say such things?

Since you once took care of my primordial spirit,

I’ll spare all your lives today.

Get lost!

Xuan Ji, you can hear us, right?

Even though you’ve become Rahu Ketu, I believe you still have your memory.

You lacked six senses when you were a kid.

It was me, Father, Mother, and Min Yan who stayed by your side.

Nothing has changed now! We’re still here for you!

Xuan Ji, Auntie Ying Hong and Uncle He Yang are missing you too.

Everyone is waiting for you to return.

Xuan Ji, you’ve lived for so long, but in this lifetime,

our consanguinity can’t be changed.

I’ll always be your father.

So noisy!

What family? What friendship?

They’re all displeasing sounds.

Since you like talking about love so much,

I wonder which is more important to you, your love or your lives?

Xuan Ji, I know it’s you.

Before your mother died, I’ve promised her

to take good care of you forever.

You’re not good at expressing yourself, but you have a kind heart.

I know your mother was right.

Come back.

You shouldn’t be like this.

Come back.

I, Rahu Ketu, will never stop.

The heavens sowed the seed of bitterness,

they’ve to bear the consequences.

I don’t want to waste my time killing you.

Stop annoying me.

This is the Core Fire.

Take it back and set up a barrier with it.

When Transcendent Furnace is overturned and fire from heavens descends to earth,

this Core Fire can resist the fire from heavens and protect you.

You can’t kill me, nor can you kill them.

Actually, you’ve all the love inside you.

Even if you deny that you’re Xuan Ji, she can still influence you.

Illusion.

It’s just an illusion.

The heavens wanted me to undergo 10 lifetimes of tribulations,

so that the illusion of mortal love can eradicate my hatred.

All of you

are simply pawns of the heavens.

Only if I burn away all the illusion can the heavens know that

Rahu Ketu isn’t Chu Xuan Ji.

The grudge in my heart can’t be eradicated by the so-called love.

I refuse to be a pitiful worm like you who allows the heavens to shove you around.

Would you be happy then?

You simply changed from being manipulated by the heavens

into being controlled by hatred.

Rahu Ketu, why can’t you let go of your hatred

and see who you really are?

Let go of hatred?

You can’t even let go of Chu Xian Ji, what right do you have

to make me forget the hatred that is buried deeply in my bones?

Yu Si Feng, do you what the God of War is?

Do you know how I got my body?

I’ll show you.

Tell me if I can let go of this hatred?

Should I let it go?

The scars...

How did you get them?

Who did this?

It was Bailing.

King Bailing?

I thought Bailing was a bosom friend that I would never find again,

so I trusted him completely.

I didn’t care about the difference between deities and demons.

I would often drink wine with him at the white pagoda by Ruoshui Pond.

And then...

The Demon-Immortal War began.

I thought our friendship could bridge the war.

But never had I expected him to intrigue against me and harm me!

Yu Si Feng, I’ll show you what kind of a person he is right now!

Feel free to drink.

The heavens and demon clans are waging war.

I’m afraid there’ll be less chances

for me to drink with you, Brother Ketu.

I was wondering why you’re in a bad mood.

So, it turns up you’re worried about this.

Asuras are skillful in battle,

so the celestial troops were instantly defeated.

At this rate, the heavenly palace will be invaded before long.

The crux of the problem is that the heavens doesn’t have someone like you

who is invincible enough to protect us.

It’s not my intention to see devil and demon clans waging war on the heavens.

Unfortunately, the grievances have accumulated over the years

and can’t be removed overnight.

But I was thinking, if you marry a woman from my clan,

perhaps it can help mitigate the war.

And a woman from my clan can assist you in protecting the heavens forever.

No.

Gods and demons are enemies.

How can the heavens be united with demon clan through a marriage?

Gods and demons are enemies?

Then, why did you invite me for a drink and befriend me?

Brother Ketu, you’re different from other demons.

Among all the demons in the world, you’re the only one that I’ll befriend.

Judging from the current situation, I wonder how much longer

we can drink together like this.

The three realms are so big that it’s hard to find a bosom friend.

I’m willing to drink and talk to you every day.

Is that true?

We’re friends.

Don’t you trust me?

I’m just afraid that once the heavens is conquered,

the three realms will descend into chaos.

All the gods and deities won’t be able to escape from their doom.

You need not worry about the war.

I brought good news for you.

Something is wrong with the wine.

What do you mean?

Brother Ketu,

didn’t you just say you want to drink and talk with me every day?

Unfortunately,

you’re Asura after all.

That makes me uneasy.

But if I can completely turn you to my side,

then only I can rest easy forever.

What did you say?

I’m sorry, Rahu Ketu.

I’m

only doing this for the sake of the heavens.

Brother Ketu,

you shouldn’t have woken up so soon.

We’re friends.

The current situation won’t look good for you.

Since you’ll forget everything soon,

I won’t hide it from you.

I’ll change your entire appearance

so that you can make a clean cut from the past.

You’ll transform into a new person.

No one will ever be able to recognize you.

Why are you doing this to me?

Didn’t you want to drink and talk to me every day?

It’s the only way to fulfill your wish.

This is

best for all of us.

These two weapons made from demonic bones are too vindictive.

I’ll remove it for you and find you another weapon in the future.

My king, the Jade Emperor has ordered

you to release Rahu Ketu immediately.

Even if I’m willing to, I’m afraid it’s too late now.

Go back and report to the Jade Emperor that I’ll definitely

build an upstanding God of War for the heavens.

Brother Ketu, I’m going to use this Jade Cup to seal your soul.

Lie down.

Take a rest.

Rahu Ketu, you’ve no heart now.

I’ll use the corner of the jade as your heart.

All your six senses will be gone.

You’ll be at my disposal.

Now, you’re no longer Star of Mosha, Rahu Ketu,

but the God of War of the heavens.

Starting from tomorrow, you’ll serve for the heavens,

wipe out all Asuras and slaughter Demon Citadel.

Who exactly are you?

I am the God of War!

I was once kind and affectionate,

yet I was met with heartless betrayal.

I didn’t want to massacre, but Bailing

tore up my bone and turned me into a murder weapon.

I longed for peace and harmony,

but Bailing manipulated me into killing my clanmates.

Yu Si Feng,

tell me,

should I not hate?

Should I not seek revenge on the heavens?

The thing planted in my chest is just a corner of a jade.

It can’t contain all your feelings.

The 10 lifetimes of tribulations, and reincarnation of the God of War

have nothing to do with me.

Because

I’m a heartless person anyway.

Xuan Ji, I’m sorry

that you’ve to suffer in agony all alone.

Had I known earlier,

I would’ve stayed and talked with you.

I won’t let you become like this.

I’m sorry.

How many times have I told you?

I’m not Chu Xuan Ji, and I don’t need your sympathy.

My soul has returned now.

There’s no Chu Xuan Ji, and Yu Si Feng. There’s no one!

All I have are hatred and vengeance.

No.

No matter how much you hate, I know there’s still a trace of love.

Yu Si Feng, if you don’t stop this endless bickering,

I’ll wipe out Chu Xuan Ji and your memories from my mind.

Xuan Ji,

I’ll rescue you for sure.

Even if I have to die,

I won’t let you continue to live in Rahu Ketu’s hatred.

Don’t panic, it’s me.

Flying Snake, why have you come?

I’m here to stop you from doing anything stupid.

- What do you mean? - I know

you want to ask the white bird to send a message to your clanmates

and tell them to hide.

But you’re digging your own grave.

Demon birds are at Yuan Lang’s command.

If you pass the letter to white bird, Yuan Lang will get it within half a day.

But Rose Gold Birds are in danger, I’ve to send them a message.

If you trust me enough, let me help you then.

After all, the heavens doesn’t want Rose Gold Bird to be found.

And also, do you want to rescue Xuan Ji?

I do. Do you have any plans?

I overheard the conversation between the King and Vermilion Bird.

They wanted to pour the juice of Tianying Grass made by sorcerer

into Rahu Ketu’s wine to make him faint for a while.

Then, they’ll take a drop of his blood

and put it into the Jade Cup as a catalyst to reseal Rahu Ketu’s soul.

When they were distracted,

I stole the Jade Cup and the juice of Tianying Grass.

If you really can seal Rahu Ketu’s soul,

the stinky woman will come back.

Is that true?

I’ve tested the juice anyway.

Other than making Asura faint for a while,

it has no other toxic effects.

If so, why don’t we try it?

Perhaps we can really rescue Xuan Ji?

Si Feng, I don’t want to see the stinky woman being controlled by Rahu Ketu

and do anything immoral.

I’ll leave these to you. Whether to use them or not,

Si Feng, it’s up to you.

Kneel!

Palace Lord!

Elder Luo.

Palace Lord!

- Elder Luo. - Palace Lord, it’s that darn Yuan Lang who caught us.

How could this happen?

How could I find them so quickly, is it?

Yu Si Feng, I’m also a Rose Gold Bird.

Of course I know where in the vast swamp

is most suited for Rose Gold Birds.

As expected, I found every one of them.

You’re also a Rose Gold Bird, why are you so cruel to your clanmates?

My clanmates are nothing, the demon clan is more important.

What’s wrong in prioritize what’s most important?

Your meridians are sealed, yet you dare to fight me?

You’ve such unruly hands, - I’ll cut them off for you! - Stop!

Yu Si Feng is my personal demon slave.

If you dare to hurt him, I’ll kill you.

Demon Lord, Yu Si Feng saw that I captured the Rose Gold Birds

and wanted to fight with me.

That was why I...

Even if my demon slave wants to kill you, you can’t touch him

without my order.

Understand?

Yu Si Feng, come back with me.

Rahu Ketu, these are my clanmates.

They’ve nothing to do with what happened back then!

If you sacrifice them to avenge yourself,

how are you any different from Bailing?

I tip Transcendent Furnace to rebuild three realms

not only for revenge, but also to reset the rules in three realms.

In contrast with this, the Rose Gold Birds’ lives are trifling.

Whether you’re sad or resentful,

I’ll not change my mind for a demon slave.

Yuan Lang, pass my order.

Tomorrow morning, all the demons shall assemble.

We’ll attack the heavens again.

Yes.

Rahu Ketu, tonight is my last chance.

For the sake of my clanmates, for the sake of stopping you,

for the sake of Xuan Ji, I’ve to reseal your soul.

Do you know how I got my body?

I’ll show you.

Tell me whether this hatred can be forgotten?

Should it be forgotten?

I thought Bailing was a bosom friend that I would never find again,

so I trusted him completely.

But never had I expected him to intrigue against me and harm me.

You’re an Asura after all.

That makes me uneasy.

But if I can completely turn you to my side,

then only I can rest easy forever.

Do you think a god can enter Demon Citadel unnoticed by me?

I knew each and every of Flying Snake and your move.

But I’m curious,

the only chance to save Rose Gold Birds is right before you,

why did you choose to give up?

I do want to save my clanmates,

but for the sake of justice in three realms, I can’t do that.

You’re very lucky.

If you really put a drop of my blood in the Jade Cup,

the situation would be so much worse.

You don’t get it?

Fine.

I’ll show you what exactly is inside the Jade Cup.

It’s the Golden Flame in Transcendent Furnace.

It was sealed within Zhongtian Palace, for the fortune of all life.

It loses power once it leaves the palace.

But there’s one exception,

which is to use Asura’s blood to break the seal.

Bailing deliberately let Flying Snake overhear the conversation

and tricked you into getting my blood

in order for Golden Flame to explode in the mortal realm.

Just now, if you’ve used my blood, and dropped it into the Jade Cup,

then we would’ve burnt into ashes now.

I’ve never expected that as the ruler of the heavens,

Bailing is so malicious.

With things as such, you should agree for me to attack the heavens

and seek revenge on them, right?

No.

The actual culprit behind all of this is Bailing himself.

The other deities have no idea.

If you want to seek revenge, you only need to aim at Bailing.

You don’t have to involve all beings.

I want to find him,

but how is it possible that such a shameless person

will have the audacity to meet me alone?

He must be hiding behind all the deities, and plotting another scheme right now.

Yu Si Feng, he’s the one who involved all beings, not me.

I will go to the heavens to find Bailing and persuade him to meet you.

You?

I want to help you.

If I succeed, you can get what you want without going to war with all the demons.

If I fail,

it’s only a few days of delay for you to attack the heavens.

You have nothing to lose.

You’re doing this for me to release Chu Xuan Ji, right?

That’s right. If this is done, you can’t confine Xuan Ji anymore.

Make it happen before you use it as your bargaining chip.

Okay. That’s settled then.

Aren’t you afraid Bailing will get angry, and kill you?

If that’s the case,

I’ll only have myself to blame in seeking my own doom.

Rahu Ketu, please give me a chance.

Give all the beings in the three realms a chance.

Fine,

I promise you.

If you can’t get back alive, I’ll fight my way to the heavens

and pull out Bailing’s tendons one by one

to weave a Soul Gathering Flag for you.

Bailing, my demon slave would like to see

if you have any courage left to meet me

after being so shameless and despicable.

Be well prepared.

Don’t disappoint him too much.

My king, so you purposely tricked me.

You wanted to trick Si Feng into using Golden Flame to kill Rahu Ketu.

Don’t you think this is too heinous?

Whether I had the intention or not,

you’ve colluded with demons anyway.

Flying Snake,

I know you hate to part with Chu Xuan Ji and Yu Si Feng,

but Rahu Ketu is the most powerful man in three realms.

I could seal his soul once, but there’ll never be a second time.

If I want to stop him, I have to eradicate him completely.

Using their lives to save the three realms is worth it!

My king, if you want to save three realms, you can just meet up with Rahu Ketu

- and talk out the grievances with him! - How insolent!

I am the ruler of the heavens!

Will a murderous demon like him be worthy enough to see me?

Pass on my imperial order,

from now on, the heavens shall be on high alert.

Any demon who dares to cross the boundary,

no matter what the reason is, kill without mercy!

Where are you from?

How did you cross Sea of Life and Death and enter the heavens?

I’m here to see King Bailing. I need to talk to him.

King Bailing has ordered.

Any demon who dares to cross the boundary will be killed without mercy!

- Take him down. - Attack!

I’ll beg the King to break your blood contract with Chu Xuan Ji.

You’ll be alright then.

- It’s unnecessary. - Why?

Can’t bear to lose her?

It tastes so bad!

It’s tasteless! Just like mud!

You’ve tried every flavor in mortal realm

and look down on food in heavens, is it?

Flying Snake, come back.

It’s because of your voracious appetite that you made the mistake.

That’s how they got the goods on you, and controlled you!

You’re not even a human.

You don’t need food to survive,

nor should you have feelings for mortals.

I don’t want to listen!

You’re not even on duty today.

Go manage your heavenly troops.

- Why are you here giving me lectures? - I’ve already made arrangements for them.

My top priority now is to persuade you.

Flying Snake, quickly figure it out,

apologize to King Bailing, and this will soon be over.

Otherwise, do you really want to share life and death with your master?

Wake up!

She’s no longer a mortal girl!

Nor is she the God of War!

She’s the biggest enemy of heavens, Rahu Ketu!

We’ll eradicate him sooner or later.

Are you done?

Get going then. I want to sleep.

Someone crossed the Sea of Life and Death.

Flying Snake, what are you doing?

Let me go!

Stay here and calm yourself down.

I’ll handle the matter at the Sea of Life and Death.

Flying Snake, get back here!

Move, all of you!

Lord Flying Snake?

I mean I’m in charge of this little demon.

Get out of here.

Come, fight me.

Fight me!

Is this all you have? How dare you barge into the heavens?

Alright, it’s none of your business now. I’ll take him to the prison for sanction.

Wait.

Lord Flying Snake, aren’t you being punished

and confined in prison by King Bailing?

How dare you question me?

I do not dare. It’s just...

Did you see this?

Do I have to report to you every time King Bailing assigns me a task?

Let’s go.

That was so close. Why did you venture the heavens alone?

It’s not a lasting solution for heavens and Demon Citadel to go on like this.

Bailing is wary of Rahu Ketu.

Using those dirty tricks will only deepen the hatred on both sides.

Do you think the situation will get any better

if King Bailing is willing to see Rahu Ketu?

Si Feng, Rahu Ketu isn’t that stinky woman Xuan Ji.

He is.

They share the same origin and life.

I believe that Rahu Ketu just wants to seek justice for himself.

He doesn’t want all life to be in misery.

I don’t know.

I think if you recklessly see King Bailing, you’ll only anger him.

It’s too dangerous! He’ll kill you!

If three realms and demon realm are at war

then I’ll not be the only one in danger.

Even if it’s risky, I need to try it.

Flying Snake! You’re really imprudent!

Don’t try to let the demon go!

Hurry and go! King Bailing is in Zhongtian Palace.

I’ll stop this Green Dragon.

Thank you.

You’re a mere demon, how dare you trespass on my palace?

The Evil Suppression Mantra in Zhongtian

won’t allow anyone without celestial soul to pass through.

Once a demon steps into it, he can’t live for long before turning into ashes.

You’ve sought your own demise.

King Bailing, you know why I’m here.

Heavens and demon realms don’t have to fight to the death.

Why must you push the matter beyond the point of no return?

Do not distort the truth!

It’s Rahu Ketu who wanted to overturn the three realms with his demons.

He destroyed Fenru City, broke through Demon Citadel,

smashed the heavenly gate

and forced the heavens to release the Sea of Life and Death.

It all happened because of him!

How dare you come and claim innocence?

The heavens will surely eradicate him, and wipe out all the demons.

And I will stop wasting my breath on a dying demon like you.

Why did you possess celestial soul?

I’ve no idea.

Perhaps you’re mistaken.

Stop playing tricks.

I’ll know your identity right away.

Xi Xuan?

You did nothing wrong.

You shouldn’t die here.

Who are you?

I’ll send you to Fenru City to enter the mortal realm.

The heavens can’t simply hurt you there.

No!

Let her go.

Greetings, Jade Emperor.

God of War.

My son, Xi Xuan, is willing to lose his 10,000-year-old immortal form

to beg for a chance of survival for you.

Regarding this, the blame is on the heavens after all.

We’ve wronged you.

So today, I’ll let you undergo ten lifetimes of trials in mortal realm

to wear out your resentment.

As for your fate, it depends on you.

Xi Xuan, my son, as the Celestial Rose Gold Bird,

it took you 10,000 years to take human form

but now that you become human, you’ll lose your immortal forms.

Do you regret it?

I do not.

Never mind. You go to the mortal realm, and undergo ten lifetimes of trials too.

Bailing, do you regret your actions today?

I did everything for the three realms.

I have nothing to regret!
