LOVE AND REDEMPTION

Episode 29 Subbed by Productive Procrastination

Are you cold?

Never expected

that the night would be so cold.

Doesn’t feel nice to be cold, right?

Don’t go so close.

That way I won’t be able to see you.

It’s so warm like this.

From this map,

the sacrificial altar

should be in the forest 100 li (31 miles) westward from Qingmu Town.

We should get there soon.

The entrance to Mount Buzhou will appear on a night with a full moon.

Tonight is the 14th,

at midnight it’ll be the 15th.

Let’s set off tonight at midnight.

Sect Leader.

Hao Chen how did it go?

Could you find traces of Xuanji?

You left a note telling us to wait in Qingmu Town.

Then Xuanji and the rest...

This is the closest town to Mount Buzhou.

If they want to go to Mount Buzhou, they must pass through here.

The day is drawing closer.

From my predictions

they must be around here.

As that is so,

the village is so vast, let’s split up and search.

Ok.

Hao Chen

you two go there.

-Ok. -Yes.

Junior Sister.

You head over there.

Linglong…

I will definitely save you.

Master?

Master.

You sneaked here behind my back,

do you still think of me as your master?

Master.

I do not dare.

I just want to save Linglong.

Please forgive me.

But we’re already on the outskirts of Mount Buzhou.

I refuse to go back.

No matter what

I have to save Linglong.

You’re the disciple I had the greatest hopes in.

Besides you love Linglong.

How could I find the heart to blame you?

Stand.

I thought

that you’re here to take me back.

How is that possible?

Minyan

when I first met you

you were only 8 years of age.

You were starving and cold on the streets

but you were clutching that dagger that was your family heirloom and refused to sell it.

It was then that I knew

that you’re someone very determined and mentally strong.

That’s why I came to meet you secretly.

Master.

Are you willing to

save Linglong at all costs?

Good.

I am right about you.

However,

I am here not only to ask you to save Linglong,

I have a more important task for you.

I will not disappoint you Master.

It’s taken us so long

to walk this 100 li, why aren’t we there yet?

The road is getting steeper and steeper.

We can’t continue climbing.

No.

I can’t wait for another month.

I don’t want to wait either.

We have to find the path.

But Ting Nu’s map is so inaccurate.

Why can’t he make it more detailed?

It’s almost time.

As they say that we can only find the entrance on a night with a full moon then it’s not time yet.

There’s no need to fret.

Sifeng.

Hurry and look!

The light from the full moon!

The path lit by the moonlight

is the path to Mount Buzhou!

That s right.

Yanran!

Sifeng.

You wait for us outside.

No.

I’m your spiritual beast

I go wherever you are.

If you insist on going then you won’t be protected by your candle.

You have to take your original form.

And you can’t use magic.

Aren’t you worried you’ll suffer?

No.

The spirit cart

gathers up the dark clouds.

From the void, life is born.

Straight to the spirit world!

The gate has opened.

Wait.

As each candle has a limited time

then we should discuss

how we use that time.

What do you want?

We have to save Linglong’s spirit

and save Yu’Er.

And then go to the City of Flames to find Wu Zhiqi.

And then we see what we need to do.

I am going to Mount Buzhou

to save Wu Zhiqi.

If you worry I’m going to hold you back, then fine.

Let’s split up. Let’s not meddle in each other’s affairs.

Let’s hurry and light the candle.

I worry I’ll lose it.

So I’m hiding it.

Let’s go.

Xuanji! Minyan!

Master.

Don’t go!

Listen to Father!

Father.

Forgive me for defying your orders.

But I have to go to Mount Buzhou.

Xuanji...

No matter what you’re thinking

I only beg you to remember the pledge you made before leaving the mountain!

I will not forget it.

But I will not change my mind.

Foolish child.

You’re putting your life at stake!

I have decided.

I can promise that I will come back safely.

Father.

Senior Brother,

please take care.

Xuanji!

Master!

Take care.

What is this place?

Seems to be outside the mountain.

We were moved here.

Let’s split up and get back up

to the altar.

But they’ve lit their birth candles

and entered Mount Buzhou,

we should be more cautious.

If we extinguish the candles then they will have to follow the rules of Mount Buzhou.

They’ll be dragged back and the consequences will be severe.

Aunt you’re right.

What’s important now

is to hurry and bring Xuanji and the others safely back.

Isn’t this Mount Buzhou?

Your four fools

you’re going in the wrong direction!

Switch your directions!

Mount Buzhou is upside down to the Mortal Realm.

Hurry and switch directions.

Look at you four.

Look how lost you were in the air.

So useless.

This is Mount Buzhou.

Turns out the Mount Buzhou that connects the Three Realms is like that.

Just as I expected I was wondering where the Tianxu Sect were hiding.

Turns out the Devil’s Capital was not destroyed

it became a nebulous void.

and hung onto Mount Buzhou.

There is a strong Mosha aura under the shadow.

I fear apart from demons

no one will dare to go anywhere near it.

No wonder the Tianxu Sect established their lair here.

Normal people struggle to enter.

The Mosha aura can increase the cultivation of the demon clan.

We must be more careful when we go in.

Handling the Tianxu Sect is your business.

You want to look for the Tianxu Sect

just follow that shadowy path.

I need to save Wu Zhiqi in the City of Flames.

City of Flames?

Oh yes.

Remember that you can’t use any magic.

Otherwise if the guards Shen Shu and Yu Li discovers you

don’t say I didn’t remind you.

Oh yes.

Farewell.

You’re leaving like that?

Didn’t you say that we’ll be wasting time if we’re together?

As that’s the case let’s split up and work.

Don’t need to hang around.

Then be careful.

Hurry and look.

Shen Shu, Yu Li?

Oh no.

I forgot.

It’s the 7th month of the year.

So what?

The deities who failed their heavenly trials, the spiritual beasts who broke the rules,

all kinds of devil and demons

locked up in the city

will be released by Shen Shu and Yu Li every year on the 15th of the 7th month to bathe in the Heavenly light.

Today is the 15th.

There are too many failed deities and evil beasts, right?

All the demons form several hundred years are here.

Of course there’s many.

Ok.

I’m not going to talk anymore,

anyway remember,

we must not use any magic here.

Anyone who enters using the birth candle

their powers will be reduced,

If something happens to you don’t hold me back.

I won’t be able to save you.

Ok.

I’m going.

Let’s go too.

Never mind.

As long as I go down

I will find Wu Zhiqi there.

Zi Hu?

Wu Zhiqi!

Wu Zhiqi!

Where are you?

Wu Zhiqi!

Wu Zhiqi!

Where are you?

Wu Zhiqi!

Where are you?

Who is there?

Someone is coming!

Someone is coming!

It’s been 1000 years.

Finally someone is here to see me!

Wu Zhiqi!

Wu Zhiqi!

A beauty?

♪ My hair turns white from yearning. Hope as little as the fallen cliff face ♪

♪ My prayers as withered as the flowers at the end of the show ♪

♪ Let fate stir up this mortal love affair yet firmly suppressing it ♪

Finally found you.

Beauty

don’t cry.

Why are you crying?

I...

Am I dreaming?

I haven’t spoken much in these 1000 years.

I don’t know how to talk.

Beauty.

Beauty come.

Beauty.

Beauty.

Why are you crying?

Don’t cry.

Did I scare you in this state?

Is this better?

Beauty.

How old are you?

Are you married?

Stinky monkey!

I finally found you!

It’s been 1000 years!

You’ve suffered.

♪ Yet fate has sealed up ♪

♪ Both of your eyes ♪

This...

Beauty.

Y-You touch me as soon as we meet?

♪ Preventing you from seeing the eternal vows we once shared ♪

Beauty.

Let’s not rush into it let’s take it slowly.

How about this?

Let’s talk as we drink.

♪ My prayers as withered as the flowers at the end of the show ♪

♪ Let fate stir up this mortal love affair yet firmly suppressing it ♪

Let me tell you.

I managed to get this wine cup only after scolding those fools Shen Shu and Yu Li for 300 years!

Take it.

Let’s drink wine.

Oh yes.

Grapes.

Beauty, eat the grapes.

Come.

♪ Have no regrets as I have you who bound me to you ♪

Stinky monkey.

Stop it.

Let me take a good look at you.

What did you call me?

♪ Let fate stir up this mortal love affair yet firmly suppressing it ♪

Dratted monkey.

Stinky monkey!

What else would I call you?

You know me?

How could I not know you?

This…

Don’t you remember me?

You don’t know who I am?

Look carefully!

It’s me!

We don’t know each other, right?

I understand beauty!

We’ve seen each other in our dreams right?

Stinky monkey!

I’ve been waiting for you for 1000 years!

I’ve searched for you for 1000 years!

You don’t know who I am?

I am...

Beauty!

Beauty!

Wu Zhiqi!

Linglong!

Xuanji.

What’s wrong?

Just now I saw...

I might be mistaken.

Look.

Zi Hu?

Why is Zi Hu coming out?

There’s danger!

No Xuanji!

Don’t use magic!

Xuanji! Xuanji!

You’ll be discovered no!

Leave me!

Don’t use magic!

You’ll be discovered!

No!

Leave me!

Zi Hu!

Xuanji!

Xuanji!

Who goes there?

Oh no.

Let’s hide.

Let’s go.

Who is so bold as to enter the forbidden grounds of the City of Flames?

You cannot hide!

The City of Flames is where the beings in the Three Realms pass through to their trials,

those who enter without permission will be executed.

You mortals

take your punishment!

Celestial sword Dingkun?

It’s the God of War!

You know me?

We have managed the City of Flames for 10,000 years.

The God of War passed through here for all 9 of her tribulations,

so of course we know her.

The God of War is supposed to be in the Mortal Realm on a tribulation.

What brings you here?

I’m not the God of War.

I’m Chu Xuanji!

Someone stole my sister’s primordial spirit. I’m here to save her.

I don’t care what the mortals call you.

You’ll always be the God of War!

You have not finished your punishment and now you break the Heavenly rules?

Do you wish to upset the Heavenly Realm further?

This is my duty.

I don’t care where you came from.

You’d better go back or your crimes will be more serious.

We don’t mind vanquishing another deity using our swords Zhu Xie and Qu Mo!

Don’t use Heaven to pressurize me.

I said I’m not the God of War!

Don’t punish me with those crimes I have never heard of before!

I’m here to save my sister today!

No one can stop me!

God of War you have never lost a battle when in Heaven,

it’s a shame you’ll be defeated by us.

You used crooked methods to enter Mount Buzhou,

so you have only a 10th of your original power.

We’ll show you what we’ve got today,

Xuanji be careful!

Stop using magic and they won’t be able to see us.

Let’s go.

Where did they go?

Where are they?

Sifeng, Xuanji.

How are you?

We’re fine.

Where are they?

Where are you? Come out!

Zhu Xie and Qu Mo have been shattered,

we can’t shake them out now.

It’s time the gates to the City of Flames are about to open.

We need to go back.

Don’t let me catch you!

Zi Hu.

Surely Zi Hu isn’t…

Zi Hu once said

that when she likes someone it’s worth it even if it costs her everything.

For Wu Zhiqi she already tried her best.

I don’t think

she will regret it.

If I see Wu Zhiqi one day,

I will tell him what she’s done for him.

He should know.

We’ve been together for so long

she was not as bad as I thought she was.

Instead she was a sentimental person who completely has no disregard for her life.

I wanted to make amends with her.

Never expected...

Let’s not concentrate on being sad.

Half of the light on the bracelet has been snuffed out.

If we continue it’ll be too late.

Zi Hu said that the shadow under the Devil’s Capital is quite vast.

We should be able to find the Tianxu Sect.

Let’s go.

We beat the God of War!

Exactly.

When I said she didn’t have all her powers

I only said it to give myself courage.

Never expected it was true.

Perhaps we got more powerful recently.

We must tell the people at the Heavenly Realm next time

and upset those 4 celestial beasts!

I’m not dead?

I didn’t die?

The candle!

Who touched my candle?!

Who extinguished my candle?!

I will kill him for this!

Such arrogance.

You fox, you’re arrogant and lucky too.

Shen Shu and Yu Li didn’t kill you?

It was you who hurt me?

It was me.

Was it fun?

We haven’t seen each other for so many years, surprised about the gift I gave you?

Who are you?

It’s you?!

Yuan Lang.

Just as I thought you’re not dead.

My good friend Wu Zhiqi isn’t dead yet

how could I bear to die?

Pei! How could you have the face to talk about him?

You’re as fierce as before.

Haven’t changed your temper at all.

I went to such lengths to establish the Tianxu Sect

just to save my good friend Wu Zhiqi.

Tianxu Sect?

You were behind that too?

That’s right.

Tell me why did I put so many efforts

to save your Wu Zhiqi?

Why are you always in the way?

Drop the act.

Back then if it wasn’t for you

Wu Zhiqi would not be at the bottom of the City of Flames.

You simply want

the Juntian Cehai he has.

Little fox,

you know quite a lot.

Then guess

what do I plan to do to you next?

In this way

you will know it’s not easy to enter Mount Buzhou,

but it’s even harder to leave Mount Buzhou.

Why is a birth candle missing?

A demon.

The evil aura of the land?

Who are you?

Xuanji

aren’t you curious

about the crimes Shen Shu and Yu Li mentioned that you committed just now?

They talk about the God of War like that

not me.

Besides,

the Heavenly Realm tries to conceal it so hard.

They even seal up the God of War’s memories.

Why should I care about the crimes I don’t know about?

Besides,

I have something I care about that I need to do now.

I need to save Linglong.

And then,

be with Sifeng properly.

Oh yes Sifeng,

Shen Shu and Yu Li are powerful gods.

How come they do not know that the Tianxu Sect demons are coming and going from here?

The Tianxu Sect…

must have some magical artifact or enchantment

that can conceal their fate or identity.

The black and white ring?

Perhaps.

There is not even a mouse here.

Could it be that the Tianxu Sect is not here?

How could this happen?

But just now I clearly saw....

Could I be wrong?

At a time like this

let’s take it that it’s real.

Let’s look around.

Come.

What to do?

We don’t have much time left,

but we don’t have any leads at all.

It seems like

there is an invisible barrier or realm here.

That’s a disciple from Xuanyuan Sect.

It’s Linglong!

Why is Linglong here?

Be careful!

Hurry and go!

Linglong.

Are you ok?

Are you ok Linglong?

Why are you here?

Did they kidnap you?

You’re better? You can move now?

Are you recovered Linglong?

What are you doing?

Let go of me!

-Linglong! -Let go of me!

Linglong!

Sifeng!

What are you doing?

Where did you come from?

Linglong…

You don’t recognize us?

Let me tell you

if you dare to make one step forward

I will cut his throat!

Linglong.

What are you doing?

Linglong.

What’s wrong?

l told you don’t move!

Linglong!

I’m Minyan!

Xiao Liuzi!

How do you know my name?

Could you be the new human slaves?

Human slaves?

Linglong look closely.

It’s us!

As you’re not human slaves

then you must be spies.

You want to capture me.

We’re here to save you!

What’s going on?

Linglong!

We grew up together,

cultivated together,

captured the Quru birds together,

killed the Gu eagle.

You call me Xiao Liuzi.

You love to argue with me.

Love to force me to eat your cooking.

Can’t you remember?

I don’t know what you’re talking about.

But it seems like...

It seems like...

Linglong!

I’m your younger sister Xuanji!

We are the people closest to you.

Hurry and let 6th Senior Brother go!

You must be lying to me!

Very good.

Then I will show you what you get for that!

Why don’t we let her go?

Minyan

don’t fret.

Something is up.

Let’s talk after we investigate.

Don’t blame me for not warning you.

Hurry and let me go

otherwise when Brother Tong comes back

you’ll suffer a fate worse than death!

Brother Tong?

Surely it’s not…

Of course it’s Brother Wu Tong!

He’s the most powerful and handsome

North Superintendent of Tianxu Sect.

Scared?

You call him Brother Wu Tong?

That Wu Tong put you in this state

have you forgotten?

How dare you badmouth Brother Wu Tong?

I’m going to kill you!

What’s going on Linglong?

She is protecting Wu Tong so much

could it be...

that Wu Tong brought Linglong from Fuyu Island to here?

Apart from the elders from Shaoyang

the other sect leaders

should still be on Fuyu Island.

Wu Tong…

It’s impossible for him to kidnap her.

Perhaps...

she is not Linglong.

Come.

Get up.

Please tell us frankly.

When did Miss Linglong arrive at Tianxu Sect?

I was chosen half a month ago to

be a playmate for Miss Linglong.

Half a month ago,

Linglong was still with us.

I could detect a demonic aura.

Initially

I thought it was from the Xuanyuan disciples

but now I smell it carefully

it’s her.

She’s not Linglong.

But a demon.

Impossible.

That’s clearly Linglong!

Oh yes, Linglong has a mole on the inside of her wrist.

What are you doing?!

Let go of me!

She doesn’t have one.

You’re a demon.

Who are you?

Why do you look exactly like Linglong?

Let me tell you

Brother Wu Tong dotes on me the most usually.

If you don’t let me go

then Brother Wu Tong will punish you when he gets back!

You...

Minyan...

Minyan.

This demon doesn’t seem to know much.

If we want to find out the truth

we should enter the Tianxu Sect.

Indeed.

We entered Mount Buzhou.

We need to go to Tianxu Sect.

Linglong doesn’t have many days left.

We must hurry and think of a solution.

Don’t worry.

I have an idea.

Little Yinhua.

What’s this?

Take us to the Tianxu Sect.

In your dreams!

In my dreams?

Little Yinhua’s venom is fatal.

If you don’t agree then she doesn’t have much patience.

She’ll bite you right away.

You’ll immediately turn into

a black corpse dripping with poison.

It’s over there.

Over there?

We just passed through it.

Where’s the entrance?

Ok.

We’ve arrived.

I’m going.

Wait.

Where’s Linglong’s primordial spirit?

Are you ill?

Linglong’s primordial spirit is in me!

You!

You want Linglong’s primordial spirit, isn’t that killing me?

You’re all mad.

What are you doing?

Wait.

Don’t bite her.

Looks like

she really don’t know.

What to do?

As you don’t know about the primordial spirit

then do you know the 2nd Senior Brother of the Shaoyang Sect?

Where is he locked up?

Also there’s a demonic spirit.

You should know about her right?

What Shaoyang Sect?

How would I know about so many people?

But there is a demonic spirit.

Called Yu’Er or something.

Right, that’s right. She’s called Yu’Er.

Where is she now?

Very good.

I’ll take you over now.

Then you’re letting me go?

Take us to save Yu’Er first.

And then my 2nd Senior Brother.

And then we’ll let you go.

Hurry and go.

Miss Linglong.

What are you doing in the dark dungeon?

Even Brother Wu Tong doesn’t manage me, can you manage me?

I’m bringing my friends to play, ok?

Move it.

Open the gate.

Scram.

Yu’Er.

It’s you?

Hurry and save me.

I’ll save you right away.

It’s fine now.

I won’t be mischievous again.

I will listen to that stinky old man.

I’ll never hang out with these bad demons again.

I’ll take you to see your father now.

Be careful.

S-She’s not Linglong.

Only a flower demon.

Don’t be deceived by her.

I’m a flower demon and Linglong.

What are you talking about?

You mistook me for someone else before and now say I’m not Linglong.

Is there another Linglong who looks exactly like me?

Can’t be bothered to talk to you.

Yu’Er.

Did you see or hear

about them talking about a place that is off-limits or secretive?

A place...

Wu Tong does not let anyone enter?

Wu Tong’s bedchamber.

Apart from that flower demon,

no one else can enter it.

I heard last time

that a minor demon entered without permission

and was killed by Wu Tong.

Linglong’s primordial spirit must be in Wu Tong’s bedchamber.

Primordial spirit?

There are many spirits in there.

Last time when Wu Tong used me to threaten the stinky old man

-he took me into his bedchamber. -Primordial spirit?

But I don’t know if her spirit is there or not.

Take us to Wu Tong’s room.

I give you an inch and you ask for a foot.

Didn’t you say you’ll let me go?

As long as you work with us

we will not hurt you.

Yu’Er make yourself invisible and then follow us.

Don’t let anyone discover you.

So many primordial spirits....

Which one belongs to Linglong?

The spirits here are all the same.

I can’t distinguish them.

Linglong….Linglong….

Can you hear me?

If you can, answer me.

What to do?

Why don’t...

we take all of them back with us?

Father will have a way to find them.

What to do?

We can’t stay here too long.

Linglong!

Linglong!

Linglong!

Linglong’s spirit.

Brother Tong!

Brother Tong!

The thing you’re looking for

is here with me.

Old friends, why didn’t you tell me you’re

paying the Tianxu Sect a visit?

And you even rudely overturn my belongings.

Tell me what you’re looking for.

Linglong...

Linglong’s primordial spirit!

Don’t fret. That may not be Linglong’s primordial spirit.

He’s just trying to provoke you.

Wu Tong.

You have the spiritual keys now.

What else do you want?

Return Linglong’s primordial spirit to us!

Turns out Linglong is

only worth a few spiritual keys to you.

As that is the case,

she’s better off with me.

And serve me.

What do you say Linglong?

Shut up!

She’s not Linglong!

I forbid you from calling her Linglong!

What?

Isn’t the Linglong I created quite similar?

Even you can’t distinguish the difference.

Brother Wu Tong what are you saying?

How come I don’t understand?

Linglong...

You’re so shameless!

What?

Didn’t you want to save Linglong?

Fine.

I will help you get what you wish.

You can take Linglong.

Brother Wu Tong what are you doing?

I want to stay with you.

What to do?

I’ve liked Chu Linglong since a few years ago.

Didn’t expect she’s now my woman.

I can’t even send her away.

Stop dreaming.

Linglong won’t like a human like you!

No!

Someone who is not a mortal or a demon.

You know very well

that you won’t be able to get Linglong’s heart.

That’s why

you use that flower demon

to fool yourself.

You are a complete joke.

Not only are you a joke,

you’re pitiful too.

6th Senior Brother!

If you take one step,

I will immediately remove his head!

Even if you kill me you will never get Linglong!
