Let me out!

Let me out!

Let me out!

Let me out!

It's from inside.

Is it the cause of the curse?

Who are you?

It's the Dragon Clan scent!

This is His Highness Prince Tai Ao.

I've heard of

the crown prince, not Prince Tai Ao.

He is the son of

the Demon King and Madam Wen.

Relax.

He is here to save the Demon Clan.

The Demon King trapped me here.

He tortured me day and night.

He made me spit blood and spin silk

and recite the Heart-Devouring Curse.

Tell me,

if you can recite the curse,

can you break it?

Without the king's order,

I won't do that.

So,

you'd rather fellow demons suffer?

I'm the cause of the curse.

You can take my antidote

and break the curse.

Unfortunately, I'm trapped here.

I'll free you.

Really?

Will you do that?

I have conditions.

Give me the antidote

for breaking the curse on demons.

After that, you can regain freedom

and begin a new life.

Zhan Yan,

I feel uneasy.

Don't worry.

What we should do now

is to stay safe,

guard the Duanmu Brigade,

and make sure the human race

stay the course for the peace talks

in the next three days.

This is...

It's your favourite food.

General!

General!

Main camp reported

an assassination of the Prime Minister.

Please go there.

What?

Godfather,

I heard about the assassin.

Are you okay?

I

killed him with my sword.

He was killed with one stab,

but he wasn't armed.

No sign of fighting here.

That's weird.

Prime Minister,

this is a demon token.

The assassin must be a demon.

We cannot trust the Demon Clan.

The peace talks are a ruse.

This item is from the Dragon Clan.

Duanmu,

Wengu's peace talks...

Godfather,

Wengu will never send an assassin.

It's a misunderstanding.

Allow me to check the barracks.

Duanmu Cui,

you still trust the Demon Clan.

If the Demon Clan has a plot,

sending her to check

is like trusting a thief.

We can't pin our hopes

entirely on Wengu.

If he has vicious intentions,

the human race will be eternally doomed.

Gu Chang!

Yes!

Prepare for a siege.

Find out if any army man contacted demons.

If the Demon Clan is behind this,

forget about the peace talks.

Yes!

Godfather!

Leave me!

Yes.

Remove him.

Yang Jian,

stay here.

Godfather.

Godfather.

Are you okay?

Over the years,

I racked my brains for the human race.

Before I achieve success,

my body has weakened.

This time,

I am most worried about Duanmu.

Keep an eye on her,

lest she acts rashly.

Don't worry, Godfather.

I'll keep an eye on her.

Godfather,

humans and demons fought for years.

Peace talks

are good.

Nonsense!

The Demon Clan has vicious intentions.

Idiot!

Godfather,

we attack Chong City

if the peace talks fail.

Gu Chang is ready for war.

Nothing will go wrong.

Godfather,

you risked your life

to save me once.

I remembered that all these years.

Whatever decision you make,

I will support you.

I didn't know Yang Jian and Jiang Yi

have deep paternal bonds.

I can manipulate them.

Thank you for your thought.

I'm tired.

Leave me.

Rest well, Godfather.

Those years, generals were granted divine status

because they defeated Chong City

and gained heavenly power.

What merits do they have

if not for that?

If history doesn't repeat itself in the Chong City War,

I can't go on the apotheosis stage.

Duanmu Cui,

today I used a soldier's life

to plant the seed of doubt

in the hearts of the generals.

Even if you help bring about the peace talks,

I still can turn back the tide

and kill you

to destroy the peace talks.

Zhan Yan,

why did you stop me from asking?

The soldier was stabbed,

but he had no weapon.

There was no trace of fighting.

That was too weird.

I think there's something weird about my godfather too.

He used to be open and aboveboard.

He won't use his sword

against an unarmed man.

But the assassin was unarmed.

You mean,

he is not your godfather?

He is my godfather,

but with another personality.

Zhan Yan,

Wengu and Hong Luan are in Chong City.

We must find the evidence

so that they have no worry.

The peace talks must go on.

Godfather mustn't renege.

Yes.

Worry about them?

Chong City is dangerous.

I don’t know if they entered smoothly.

How will they convince the Demon King

to join the peace talks?

Everyone,

this is our Demon Clan suicide squad.

Other suicide squads are getting ready.

With their super combat power,

they will annihilate the human race.

But, Your Majesty,

this means

misery and suffering.

I, He Xue, ask you to reconsider.

The tiny Crane Clan

doesn't have the right to speak.

Bloodshed happens in wars.

To die for the Demon Clan's domination

is his glory.

I pledge my support for Your Majesty.

I treated you like a plaything.

I underestimated you.

As a plaything in your palms,

you come to me every day.

I know

Your Majesty have worked painstakingly

for the future of the Demon Clan.

If I, Yue Long Men,

can share your worries,

I will die without regret.

Gnat generals,

I'll vanquish

every human in the Chong City battle.

You two will be the vanguards.

Yes.

What?

Do you object?

Praise the king!

I will charge at the head

and die for Your Majesty's great cause.

Dear wife,

speak quickly.

I pledge loyalty to Your Majesty.

You don't.

Tai Ao.

To charge at the head

and lay down one's life

mean death.

Are they willing

to do that?

Back off.

Don't you see

that the prince of Demon Clan is back?

Tai Ao,

you lost weight,

but your eyes

are sharper.

I want to talk to you.

You don't know how happy I am.

I know.

Sooner or later you would come back

because this is your home.

Yes.

I will have to come back.

Let me see

if your skills

have improved after these years.

You didn't practice

what I taught you.

You are my successor,

but you have regressed!

I didn't come back

to bow to you.

You are still so stubborn.

Look at my warriors,

the subjects of the Demon Clan,

and great territory.

If you wish,

I can give them to you.

I don't want to be like you.

On the way here,

all I heard were grievances.

People don't want war.

You sacrificed demon lives

to fulfil your selfish desire.

You sent them to battles.

Do you think you are powerful?

You used the Heart-Devouring Curse.

Not many surrender to you

willingly.

Fool!

If you don't believe me, ask them.

We truly support the king.

We truly support the king.

Did you hear that?

The sun and moon bear witness

to their loyalty to me.

I look forward to your return every day.

I didn't expect you to return

to encourage them to betray me.

You should have stayed and learn from me.

You are still inexperienced.

Really?

You!

Your Majesty!

Men support a just cause,

not an unjust one.

Giving is better than plundering.

You've lost your inherent nature.

You've harmed the demons

for your own benefit.

You will only lead them to an abyss.

Only I

can give them a new life.

Where am I?

I remember.

The king put a curse on us

and we killed each other.

I killed my brothers.

The Heart-Devouring Curse is broken.

You may leave now.

You broke the curse

and saved us.

We owe you our lives.

Yes.

Your fate

is in your own hands.

Let us follow you.

Our loved ones

shall be avenged.

We'll obey you.

We'll do anything.

Yes!

But I have the king's bloodline.

Relax, everyone.

His Highness Prince Tai Ao will treat you like brothers.

We pledge our loyalty.

So,

you broke the curse some time ago.

They pretended to be under the curse

in anticipation of this moment.

The Silkworm Phantom and you have worked in collusion,

haven't you?

Yes.

Dear wife,

are you okay?

For years, humans fought with us.

The human army is formidable.

If we continue fighting,

we will have no more bloodline.

Do you want your loved ones

to die in the flames of war?

No.

Do you naively think that

by breaking the curse,

you can beat me?

You taught me

to lose honourably

and not try to be a hero.

Yes,

but I didn't lose.

I always win.

Let me teach you a last trick.

Before knowing what your enemy has,

don't show your trump card.

You reject a father's love.

I will grant you your wish.

I will kill everyone who colluded with you

and betrayed me.

Don't think I am cold-blooded.

You chose

this.

Stop.

Why are you here?

What are you doing?

You still protect an unfilial son.

In your eyes he is unfilial,

but in my eyes,

he is the kindest boy in the world.

Kind?

He wanted to kill his own father,

but you say he is kind.

You overestimated yourself.

Right now,

you do not have the ability to fight me.

Careful!

Your Majesty.

Careful!

You told this girl to damage my inverted scale.

Yes,

I told her if she stabs

the scale on your neck,

you'll temporarily lose your magic power.

What?

I

love you so much.

You're the last person I expect

to hurt me.

You love me,

but you love power even more.

In your heart,

your wife and sons are embellishments.

Your ambition and power

made humans and demons suffer in misery.

I practised medicine all my life

and saved many people,

but I can't atone for your bloody karma.

So,

let me end this,

and let all living beings in the world survive.

We used to love each other so much.

Did you forget?

Yes,

we loved each other,

but I regret it now.

Had I not saved you,

the human race

and Demon Clan won't have so many disasters,

and things won't end

like this for us.

I didn't expect my son

to be so grown up.

Mother,

I am not filial.

I let you suffer.

I am doing very well.

I did not suffer.

Madam,

when Wengu lived among humans,

he missed you.

Seeing you now

is a wish come true for him.

Hong Luan,

you've worked hard.

Thank you for

taking care of Tai Ao all those time.

Don't mention it.

It is my duty.

You two are friends since childhood.

After growing up you are very close too.

I'm really pleased.

That year,

when I met your father,

we were like that also.

Mother,

if you feel bad,

tell us.

I understand.

After so many years,

I have accepted my fate.

I know that your father and I

would end up like this sooner or later.

Tai Ao,

Hong Luan told me about

the deal with human.

I support you.

Trust your friends.

Do what you want,

and stop the war.

Godfather,

did Chong City send

a peace letter?

Wengu succeeded to the throne,

and sent an envoy to deliver the letter

with the Demon King's seal.

It's authentic.

Wengu succeeded.

Duanmu Brigade

can do anything!

Let's look at the conditions he set.

The new king,

in view of his feelings for General Duanmu,

and his half-human bloodline,

wishes to reconcile,

and open up Chong City

to humans.

He hopes the two sides will live in peaceful coexistence.

But...

If we can achieve peace

without bloodshed

or hurting the people,

this is a perfect solution.

Why are you hesitating?

But we have been fighting for many years.

Lieutenant Zhan,

is peace possible?

It can be done

if you think so.

Okay.

That makes sense.

His subtle movements

are so similar to my godfather's.

Is it a coincidence?

Okay, you may go back.

-Yes. -Yes.

Maybe we were wrong.

He has the same temperament,

but is stressed out

and nervous.

His character hasn't change.

He agreed to the talks.

He won't send so many brothers

to war,

and ignore the innocent people.

Star Lord,

this method works.

The aura of death is dissipating.

But

why not absorb more?

The wind sail has reached its limit.

It is one of a kind.

It can temporarily suck Qifeng's aura of death

but not dissipate the aura.

If the wind sail collapses,

the aura of death will seep out

and become more violent.

Then,

the world will become more terrifying.

What should we do?

I can only hope they'll

bring back the antidote from the Abyss soon.

Two of them?

I forgot their names.

You forgot too?

The writing has faded.

This is...

Zhan...

What comes after Zhan?

Zhan Yan.

Zhan Yan.

Correct.

Duanmu.

Zhan Yan and Duanmu.

No way.

The writing on the paper

will become faint.

I must find a way.

Star Lord,

thank you.

Goodbye.

Father.

How sad.

For so many years you didn't

call me father.

Now I am a prisoner.

You replace me

but call me father.

Do you think

I don't deserve to be your son

or the Demon King?

Do you think being the Demon King

is that easy?

Our clan has long held grudges with the human race.

The so-called peace talks

are just wishful thinking.

I am not as strong as you want me to be,

but in my own way,

I'm doing my best to protect the Demon Clan folks.

Unbeknown to you, the human race has deceived you.

Human beings are sinister.

They plot and scheme

against each other.

Appease them,

and you will destroy the Demon Clan.

You don't know human.

I don't

regret what I did.

Tai Ao,

you will regret it.

Your vitality is hurt.

Don't get angry.

Stop pretending.

Madam.

You told her to damage my inverted scale.

Why didn't I realise

that you are a malicious woman?

The entanglement between us

started all these mistakes.

It's time to end that now.

Stop talking!

So what if you all betrayed me?

As long as I'm alive,

I will complete my dominance.

I will kill you all then.

Madam,

after entering the illusion world,

he can't get out anymore.

Do you really want to do this?

Peach Blossom Illusion.

What are you doing?

Stop!

I would rather die

than live in a daze in an illusion.

Only when you live in an illusion,

you won't feel pain.

You will no longer hold on to

your ambition and your power.

I loved you once.

Only by ending it all,

will the human race, Demon Clan,

Tai Ao,

and even you benefit.

Once,

you were kind,

but

after you became the Demon King,

your ambition,

power, and obsession

took you farther and farther away from me.

I can only do this

to return you to what you were.

In here,

you will no longer be driven by ambition,

and you won't hurt anyone anymore.

We can go back to the beginning.

I will always be here

to accompany you.

From now on,

I will lead you to revitalise our clan.

From now on,

Hong Luan will be the Daya

and command the left division.

The Gnats will command the right division.

Others will retain

your positions and jurisdictions.

We swear allegiance to the king.

I have decided

on a ceasefire with human,

and issued a new order.

You must restrain yourself according to the new rule

Whoever lives in our territory

will be treated equally.

Both human and demons will not

abuse their subordinates

and the weak.

Violators will be punished by law.

Your Majesty, you have stayed with human too long,

and have forgotten that you are a demon.

Yes.

I almost forgot.

You are half

human.

Li Hou,

watch what you say.

I'm talking to the king.

A little peach blossom should not interject.

The king is young.

I can understand if he has old sentiments,

but he blindly favours the human race and ignores the Demon Clan.

He is unconvincing.

I support Li Hou.

The king ignores the demons.

I won't obey him.

Li Hou, you mean

whatever I decide

must be approved by you?

The former king won't

issue such a ridiculous decree.

Your Majesty,

you want to make peace with the human race.

Are you afraid of war?

If the king is afraid,

let me lead the army,

and kill the entire human race.

Shut up.

Guards!

Seize Li Hou.

Back down.

My brother died in the Anyi battle.

My father fought with human for years.

In the end only Chong City is left.

Countless Demon Clan brothers died.

In your opinion, Li Hou,

was it because of their fear and incompetence?

Is it only you who can win

a battle?

I've never doubted the former king and demon generals.

These years,

to expand our territory,

and fulfil the former king’s ambition,

demon folks had to leave their homes.

But what did we gain

from the war?

We parted with our loved ones.

For what purpose?

In the end we only have Chong City.

Our people only want to live

and work in peace

and tranquillity.

Why is it at the end

we only have the flames of war and killing?

Is surrendering to human

Your Majesty's path to peace and security?

I would rather die in battle

than bow to the human race.

I've reached an agreement with the human race.

We will exchange our skills

with their farming skills.

The peace talks

will enable the human race to communicate with us.

Within a decade,

I believe,

we will stop plundering

for food and clothing.

Don’t you want a permanent home,

and go home

to your loved ones every day?

With the peace talks,

we don't have to kill anymore,

or stain battlefields with blood.

The king is wise!

We pledge our allegiance to the king.

We pledge our allegiance to the king.

Your Majesty,

the people of Chong City,

be they human or demon,

are grateful for your benevolent rule.

They want nothing more

than to live and work.

We sent

the letter for talks.

Did Prime Minister Jiang reply?

I'm about to report this, Your Majesty.

The human agreed to hold peace talks as soon as possible.

The venue is the human main camp

that borders Chong City.

They do not object

to the conditions we set.

I believe the talks

will proceed smoothly.

If that is so,

we should thank Duanmu

and Zhan Yan.

This war

separated men from their wives

and children.

When the war is over,

they will be reunited

with their loved ones.

Godfather,

Wengu promised

to return our Chong City territory.

In exchange, he wants

vegetables, fruits, seeds and farming and weaving technology.

Zhan Yan and I

drafted a peace agreement

according to their conditions.

Please take a look.

Godfather.

Anything else?

I heard that you proposed to Wengu

that both sides reduce the participants.

Peace talks are not war.

If we all bring our men and horses

in a menacing manner,

it will cause fear.

If we all bring fewer soldiers and horses,

we will show sincerity.

You are right.

Who will you take?

I'll take Gao Bo Jian

to the peace talks.

Gao Bo Jian?

No way.

Why not?

It's peace talks,

not war.

But

it's a major event,

don't assign him.

This is too important.

Duanmu,

you are deeply prejudiced.

Yes,

unlike you,

he doesn't have battle feats.

But,

if the generals in Wengu’s delegation

had fought with you before,

will that increase conflicts?

Gao Bo Jian has been working in the army

on the logistics for grain supply.

He rarely confronted demons directly.

Think about it.

Is Gao Bo Jian a good candidate?

But...

I know.

You worry about my safety.

But I trust your judgement.

You promoted Wengu yourself.

We won't have trouble

negotiating with him.

I trust Wengu,

but it's wrong to bring

Gao Bo Jian.

Do not worry.

Gao Bo Jian and I

will enter the camp while

Yang Jian stand guard outside.

Gu Chang and you

will stay 10 miles away from the site.

Rush over

if anything happens.

In this way,

we can

show our sincerity

and

protect ourselves.

Godfather, you are meticulous.

I obey your order.

Go back.

What is it?

You have a new carpet.

Yes.

The previous one was dirty.

The talks usher in a new atmosphere.

So, I changed the decorations in the tent

for good blessings.

What aesthetic mood!

I will also decorate my tent.

When the war is over,

we will celebrate.

Great!
