Episode 23

Duanmu,

you are still alive.

I'm fine, I'm good.

You are fine?

Why are you being chained?

It's...

It's for healing purpose.

Don't worry.

For healing purpose?

Why do you look like you're in pain?

Are you being imprisoned?

Zhan Yan!

Zhan Yan!

Duanmu.

Duanmu!

This is not a dream.

This is real.

Duanmu.

You are in Penglai, aren't you?

God of Matchmaking,

let me go now.

Now that Zhan Yan has seen me like this.

I don't know what he is going to do.

High Immortal,

you mustn't break off the chains!

If you recall the...

Recall the what?

What is there to recall?

I said nothing!

Your divine soul is still unstable.

You'd better stay in Guixu now,

and 100 years later,

once...

Once your divine soul is stabilized,

we will figure it out from there.

100 years?

I can live for 100 years,

but Zhan Yan won't be able to.

You...

Let me out of here now!

Stop it, High Immortal!

High Immortal!

Stop it!

High Immortal!

Duanmu,

once your love lock is mended and restored,

I will naturally let you go.

At the time being,

I am afraid you will have to stay here.

Brother,

let me go!

I have to see Zhan Yan!

You and Zhan Yan are not destined to be together.

If you keep dwelling on him,

you will regret it.

I will surely regret it if I don't go and see him now.

I am not going to argue with you over this right now.

Someday

you will thank me for this.

High Immortal Duanmu,

God of Justice has offended all other deities because of you.

He is going to the lightning jail now to take the punishment for you.

Can you at least listen to him for once?

What exactly has happened?

If Wengu hadn't...

Such a bigmouth!

Wengu?

Brother,

what are you doing?

Brother!

Brother!

What are you doing?

Duanmu,

get some sleep now.

I will wake you up

100 years later.

How dare you, Demon!

Who are you?

How dare you break into the jail!

Can't you hear me?

Release them now,

or else...

High Immortal,

you are back.

Don't call me High Immortal.

Address me as Your Majesty.

Your Majesty?

How did you become a demon?

What happened to your divinity?

It's useless to me,

I destroyed it.

What exactly happened?

What?

Seeing me like this,

are you scared of me now?

How did you...

How did I become like this?

I quite like the way I look now.

The strongest one becomes the king.

Everyone fears me.

The aloof and noble High Immortal Wengu

is long gone.

From now on,

I shall be called Demon King Wengu.

No matter what you become,

I, Hong Luan, will stand by you even unto death.

Everyone,

this is the new Demon King of our Demon Clan.

He is a descendant of king.

I object!

Descendant of king?

Boo!

You are half mortal,

you are not even a demon.

What qualifies you to be a king?

Everyone,

Yue Long Men is dead now.

He tricked you all into helping him to find the Penglai Drawing,

so that he could become a deity,

not to take you all out of the Ninth Hell.

The Penglai Drawing is in my hands now.

If you pledge your loyalty to me,

I will get you out of the Ninth Hell

and back to Chong City!

Leave the Ninth Hell! Back to Chong City!

Leave the Ninth Hell! Back to Chong City!

Leave the Ninth Hell! Back to Chong City!

Leave the Ninth Hell! Back to Chong City!

Wengu,

I know you have given up a lot

to follow me all these years.

Do you regret it?

I

will never regret it.

Long live Your Majesty!

After spending thousand of years in the Ninth Hell,

I am sure you all are sick of this place.

I shall take you out to the mortal world

and destroy Penglai!

Yes! Yes! Yes!

Watch out!

How dare you hurt her!

I'm going to teach you a lesson.

You hurt your arm

for trying to save me.

Let me dress your wound, my wife.

What did you call me?

My mother said

one should marry the one who saves his life.

From now on, I will see you as my wife.

I will give you all my savings.

What's wrong with you?

I...

I'm sorry.

Look at you,

you are getting too old

to fight with the demons.

If anything happens to you,

how am I going to live without you?

The demons are wreaking havoc,

how could I just sit by and do nothing?

You always have justifiable reason.

Godfather!

Yan'er, Ce'er,

you are home.

Godfather,

you are injured.

The human race and demon clan

were fighting today.

Your godfather got caught

in the crossfire.

Yan'er,

bandage your godfather's wound.

I will go and prepare more medicine.

Ce'er,

go and help your godmother.

Yes.

Godfather,

many demons have shown up in Qifeng City lately,

you must be careful when you go out.

If I am not mistaken,

the demons are causing disturbance

because Wengu has destroyed the Penglai Drawing

and removed the seal of the Ninth Hell.

What?

About this matter,

only the full cooperation among the deities of Penglai

can save the day.

It is a pity that

you and I are mortal.

No matter how anxious we are right now,

it is not going to help the situation.

Godfather,

I might not be as capable as the deities,

but I will do my best

to keep Qifeng City safe.

Good.

If those so-called deities in Penglai

can be as proactive as you,

something like this wouldn't have happened.

If I had known this would happen,

when I was granted divinity back then, I shouldn't have...

You were granted divinity back then?

No.

I mean

none of those so-called deities

who were granted divinity back then

could have seen this coming.

So, will the deity of Penglai come down

to the mortal world to catch those demons?

All demons are running free,

even the deities in Penglai have got their hands full.

Penglai will be in danger too?

Now that Duanmu is being chained,

won't it put her in more danger?

What happened to Duanmu?

Duanmu

is now being tied up with four crystal chains.

The chains tightened a little

whenever she moved.

Duanmu

is suffering right now, Godfather.

Is there really no way for mortal to get to Penglai?

But I have to save her.

According to Zhan Yan's description,

Duanmu should be chained up by love locks.

After Duanmu became a deity,

love debt arose from her guilt

over the sacrifices of her soldiers in Xiqi.

She desperately wanted to open up the Abyss to save them.

In order to stop her,

Penglai locked up all her love debts from the past.

If someone can cut off the love locks

and restore Duanmu's love debt memory,

she would open the Abyss by then.

Does that mean everything will start all over again?

If everything can start all over again,

I will be granted the divinity again.

And I will never let things develop into such state.

Godfather,

what are you thinking?

If we can bring Duanmu back here,

perhaps we will have a chance to resolve the scourge of demons.

But

how am I going to bring Duanmu back?

Three realms are interconnected now.

Both mortals and demons can go to Penglai.

Though if you enter Penglai in a mortal body,

your body may be shattered

and your soul may be dispersed instantly.

As long as I can bring Duanmu back,

a moment of my pain

for her lifetime of freedom is worth it.

I will keep my promise.

Good.

You are incredibly devoted to her,

I suppose nothing I say can stop you now.

But what about those demons?

Don't worry, I am here.

So are Shangguan Ce,

Zhang Long and Zhao Wu,

we will keep Qifeng City safe.

Thank you, Godfather.

Give me Ju Que.

Sub by iQiyi & Ripped by skysoultan ♔ Follow @skysoultan on Instagram ♔

Godfather,

what is the meaning of this?

Ju Que is an ancient divine weapon.

Legend has it that it was made from the five-coloured stone

used by the goddess to mend the sky.

This sword contains a spirit that will protect its owner.

It was only for the use of deity.

After the granting of divinity a thousand years ago,

Ju Que has been passed down

from one generation to another in Jiang family.

And I passed it down

to you back then.

Are you saying that this sword

is the key to enter Penglai?

Yes.

You can enter Penglai with this,

and you will be protected from death

by the spirit inside,

however...

Godfather,

no matter what happens to me,

I am willing to accept it.

There is a price to pay for forcing things that aren't meant to be.

Mortal ascending to the heaven is a defiance of the laws of heaven.

Even with the protection of the sword spirit,

one still has to endure pains

that no one can bear.

Have you thought this through?

Godfather,

I don't care if I live or die.

Good.

I will teach you the way

to ascend to Penglai.

Chong City

I never thought I'd come back

to this place after a thousand years.

This used to be the place I hated the most.

Yet it has now

become my shelter.

But this is where I first met you.

Hong Luan,

I don't care about

those things you said.

Nothing I do is for you.

Even so, do you still want to stay by my side?

I will serve you wherever you go,

I will never leave you.

Even if you could die?

Even if I could die miserably,

I will still never leave you.

This seat is cold and frigid.

But when one sits on it,

he will have the power to command everyone.

How many people

have bled for it

and given up their lives for it?

Your Majesty.

But you are unhappy.

I have secured the throne

and become the king of Demon Clan.

The entire Chong City is now mine.

Even Penglai fears me.

Mortals frighten of me.

What am I unhappy about?

If Duanmu was here,

you would laugh when she laugh,

you would be upset when she is upset.

You have been by her side

for thousands of years,

you never got sick of it

and you never looked back at me once.

The entire Demon Clan

means nothing to you compared to Duanmu.

What's your point?

You are standing here

as the Demon King,

and you are doing things you hate.

Could it be because Duanmu

is dead?

Shut up.

So, she really is...

I told you to shut up!

You are crying.

For Duanmu...

I am a demon.

She was a deity.

Yet she never despised me.

She treated me like I was her own sister.

I will never forget the kindness she showed me.

Now that she is dead,

I am in

as much pain as you are.

What are you crying about?

Duanmu won't die.

She won't.

This is the practice of dark art

I obtained from Yue Long Men.

It can suck out lives of all living beings'

to create a life force.

By gathering their life forces together,

I can save Duanmu.

Your Majesty,

this Life-sucking Spell

saves one life by sacrificing innocent people's lives.

It defies the laws of heaven.

You will face damnation by the laws of heaven one day.

I am already living in hell.

I am not bound by the laws of heaven.

Why should I be afraid of miserable death

and eternal damnation?

But I am afraid.

What are you afraid of?

I am afraid that you will leave me again.

And I will have to wait another decade, century

or even a millennium for you.

I am afraid that your soul will disperse,

that I won't be able to find you

in heaven or hell.

If that day does come,

it is my fate.

And it is unnecessary for you to find me.

If my soul really disperses,

my final resting place would only be next to Duanmu.

I have to save Duanmu.

No one can stop me.

Godfather,

I can walk the rest of the way

on my own.

Yan'er.

Do you know that

Duanmu was even willing to give up divinity back then

just to save Gu Chang?

The crystal chains you saw

are the love locks that

locked up Duanmu's memories.

If you want to save her,

you have to cut off the love locks with Ju Que.

But by doing so, she will surely remember her past,

and the one you risks your life to save

may no longer love you.

Even then,

are you sure you still want to go to Penglai?

Godfather.

I know about the love debts.

Even if I can no longer be with Duanmu,

I am still going to end her suffering

and set her free.

She doesn't deserve to be tormented like this.

Yan Yan,

be careful.

You have bring back

Sect Leader Duanmu safely.

Yan'er,

I have used you this time,

but I believe that one day,

you will understand why I did this.

Lord Yang Jian,

you volunteered to take the punishment,

so don't blame me for this.

But I just want to be clear that

I have no personal vendetta against you.

When my wife checked you out last time,

I didn't mind about it at all.

My body is protected by astral energy,

it can resist the lightning punishment.

God of Thunder,

it will take you a tremendous strength

to break through

the astral energy that protects my body.

You'd better not hold back.

If you use too little strength

and I feel nothing during the lightning punishment,

I am going to punish you

for your laxity in enforcement of justice.

But

if you use too much strength

and hurt me,

I am going to punish you for dereliction of duty.

I can't do this. I can't do that too.

Fine.

I will give you the hammer.

You do it yourself.

I don't care anymore.

It's a good thing that I didn't let him punish me.

Who are you?

This mortal has the aura of ancient god.

Secure the entrance!

Oh no, this is bad.

Where is Duanmu Cui?

God of Justice,

you must have suffered during the punishment.

I am fine.

How is Duanmu?

High Immortal Duanmu is still asleep.

When she wakes up,

hundred years will have passed in mortal world.

There will be no more love debt.

Very well-thought-out, God of Justice.

Tell me now,

what has happened in these days?

Wengu has defected from Penglai,

carrying the Penglai Drawing with him.

Demons of the Ninth Hell was going to break out sooner or later.

Looks like court of Penglai

is going to be in a mess soon.

Is this all?

There is another thing.

I saw Zhan Yan.

He even beat up the guards.

What?

I told you so

birds of a feather flock together.

Duanmu,

I would like to marry you

by offering Chong City as my betrothal gift.

General,

we have a problem.

General Gu Chang led an attack on Chong City with his troop.

They were ambushed

and wiped out.

This is your fault!

It's your fault that Gu Chang died!

It's your fault that we died!

No one would have died

if it hadn't been just for marrying you.

Duanmu Cui,

your soldiers died because of you!

All generals and soldiers, listen!

General Gu Chang is dead.

Duanmu Brigade has been wiped out.

Now,

Yang Jian will take over the token

and continue the attack of the city.

Yes, sir!

Godfather,

please allow me to avenge Gu Chang and Duanmu Brigade.

Gu Chang.

Since you lost your life trying to take down Chong City for me,

I, Duanmu Cui,

will repay you with my life now.

General.

Mi,

bury me with

Gu Chang.

General!

Sister!

Sister!

General!

General!

Gu Chang!

Gu Chang!

All deities may now ascend.

Duanmu Cui has killed a lot of people,

in order to save the human race from misery.

She only killed

to protect.

It was not her intention to stop the massacre with war.

She doesn't deserve to go to netherworld.

I, Jiang Yi, am willing to give up my divinity

to my goddaughter Duanmu Cui

for her to live forever.

Godfather,

I would rather die,

and give the divinity to Gu Chang.

Duanmu,

if because of your guilt,

you choose to let Gu Chang live,

however,

can you save everyone in Duanmu Brigade?

Go on.

What I owe you in this life,

I will repay in the next.

Duanmu.

Are you insane?

What are you trying to do?

Mother had told me

I should never expose the mark on the back of my neck.

I have found out now

I am a descendant of the Heavenly Maiden.

I have the power to open the Abyss.

I will use all my power

to open up Abyss

and get them back.

Stop!

The Heavenly Maiden predicted that

once the Abyss is opened,

the Three Realms will be ruined.

I will never allow you

to do such a thing.

This is what I owed Gu Chang,

what I owed everybody.

I will take full responsibility for whatever happens.

Stop her!

Brother, what are you doing?

Let go of me!

Duanmu.

Since you won't give up,

you leave me with no choice

but to seal your memories.

I will lock it up with love locks

and bury it in Guixu.

As long as you don't fall in love,

you will never suffer from this love debt again.

No, Brother.

No, let go of me!

Let go of me!

Brother, no!

Gu Chang.

No.

No.

No, I have to remember them!

Brother, no!

You remember him.

Zhan Yan.

What are you doing here in Penglai?

Duanmu, come with me.

Let's get out of here first.

God of Pestilence Temple

Buddha's grace illuminates all lives as sunshine

God of Pestilence Temple

These are just the God of Pestilence's aura of pestilence.

You almost let it get you.

I was careless.

I am God of Pestilence.

Even the Supreme Lord Lao shows me respect.

How dare

mere demons like you

Buddha's grace illuminates all lives as sunshine

broke into my temple and damaged my statue!

Insolent!

He is protected by divine energy.

You can't hurt him.

Leave it to me.

You have no incense offerings.

And you called yourself a god?

What nonsense are you talking about?

For thousands of years,

you remain devoted to your duty.

You suppress the aura of death with your divine body

so that the aura of those who died unjustly

won't flow around.

So that the mortals won't have to

suffer from pestilence.

You are the one who keeps them safe,

yet they are frightened of you

and they banished you.

You are a nobody even in Penglai.

No one remembers you.

You are just a miserable wretch

that is forgotten by everyone.

What nonsense are you talking about?

But now that you've met me,

maybe you do have a little bit of luck.

Why don't you

let me help you to

do great things?

What are you trying to do?

I will let everyone keeps you in mind permanently.

However, you will have to trade your life for it.

Your Majesty,

are you alright?

I am fine.

These aura of death

can't hurt me.

These aura of death are very poisonous.

If your body resists to merge with it,

the consequences would be unthinkable.

Do you know that you could've died?

As long as I can save Duanmu,

I am willing to accept any consequences.

Zhan Yan.

You are a mortal.

You shouldn't break into Guixu in Penglai.

You tied up Duanmu.

You imprisoned her

and tormented her.

The ways of doing things in Penglai

are too inhumane, don't you think?

What do you know?

By cutting off the love locks that tied up Duanmu,

you are not helping her,

you have put her in danger,

put the Three Realms in danger.

All I know is

Duanmu doesn't deserve

to suffer from imprisonment in here.

I have to get her out of here.

I would like to see how a mortal like you

is capable of doing so.

Zhan Yan,

you are clever.

You use the power of Ju Que.

However, Zhan Yan,

you are now facing the God of Justice from Penglai.

How long do you think you can you hold out?
