[ Love and Destiny ]

[ Episode 20 ]

Senior Deity.

Senior Deity, Senior Deity.

It is I,

Yuanzheng.

Jiuchen. So what if you are the God of War in the kingdom?

I am the demon inside the heart of everyone. Can you kill everyone?

You changed. You have an obsession now.

You don't regard killing demons as your primary responsibility now.

Why don't you just directly kill that female immortal?

As long as she is alive, I can see the light of day again.

Dream on.

You can hide it from the people in the kingdom, but you can't hide it from me.

You have developed pity toward the last person in this world whom you should pity.

You have desires.

This is right.

Only if you have something you persist in can there be successful results.

What "three thousand great "dao'"? All are bullshit! (T/N "righteous path")

Only my path is the heavenly path!

Jiuchen.

Directly face your heart's desire.

Release me.

Other than that woman, only you can release me.

If I'm unsealed, that woman will become useless.

You can also protect her.

I am the God of War.

What I desire is that the Six Realms be at peace. A benevolent person obtains kind karma.

As for you, you created disasters in the Six Realms.

You will soon fall into a demon's prison that's not part of any world, forever unable to be reincarnated!

Jiuchen!

You can't instill fear in me because my conscience is clear.

I won't spare you.

I won't!

Yuantong has important matters

and seeks an audience with Heavenly Emperor.

I, Yuantong, the guard at the South Gate of Heaven, greet Heavenly Emperor.

If you are here because of the Yuan Family, you should go back.

Heavenly Emperor has already been exceptionally merciful. You mustn't ask too much.

I'm not here because of the Yuan Family.

It's because of Heavenly Palace and also the safety of the Six Realms.

This matter is very important and mustn't be delayed.

That's why I was told to seek an audience with Heavenly Emperor.

Speak.

I suspect that

Ling Xi from Peach Forest is a remnant of the Demon Tribe.

That lady has been personally examined by Immortal Lord of Universal Turn—

I have the evidence.

It's indeed a demonic aura.

This is a magical treasure of the Lord of Heavenly Medicine's manor.

Replying to Heavenly Emperor, that item was gifted to Senior Deity by Lord of Heavenly Medicine.

It has been placed in Fuyun Hall all this time.

It's also because I noticed that there's something wrong with this item, thus I didn't dare make any delays,

and came here immediately to report to you.

In my opinion, there are not many immortal maids in Fuyun Hall.

Huayan and Shisan have been here in the Heavenly Palace for tens of thousands of years.

Only that Ling Xi from Peach Forest is a newcomer in Fuyun Hall.

Notify the War Division to bring her here.

I want to personally conduct the interrogation.

Yes.

I earnestly ask Heavenly Emperor to let me come with you

as my means of making up for my crimes.

I will allow you.

Thank you, Heavenly Emperor.

It's you.

Why did you capture me?

You don't know why I captured you?

So what if I know? Isn't it just an immortal treasure?

Old Man already knew about this, so why must you keep pressuring me?

You abducted me from Fuyun Hall and brought me here.

Aren't you afraid of angering the Heavenly Palace and Senior Deity?

If Heavenly Palace found out about your real identity, you would die even faster.

I don't know what you are talking about.

God of Heavenly Thunder? Why is there such a strong demonic aura here?

It can't be that the Demon Lord is alive?

If that was the case, it wouldn't be like this.

Ziguang, Fangsheng.

Here.

Go and check.

- Yes. - Yes.

Who are you?

God of Heavenly Thunder?

Shisan? What are you doing here?

Senior Deity told me to keep guard here.

Your Senior Deity...

God of Heavenly Thunder. Senior Deity has instructed that

no one can enter.

You dare to stop me?

Shisan!

Senior Deity.

I didn't expect to bump into you here. What a coincidence.

Dare I ask you where the junior immortal Lingxi is now?

Is God of War openly harboring a remnant of the Demon Tribe?

What?

Ling...Ling Xi?

A remnant of the Demon Tribe?

Shisan, go back to Fuyun Hall.

Yes.

Seems like God of War is also looking for that fairy.

Senior Deity.

Why am I in Peach Forest?

So, it's just a dream.

Father. Father?

Father!

Father!

Where did he go?

Where is he?

Hateful Fox!

He's not here again? Did he go out and fight?

What are you doing? There is not enough for me. How could I have extra to give to you?

- Get lost.- Father?

Father! Why are you drinking again?

How many times have I told you to drink less?

It's not good for health.

Father. It's been a long time since you saw me.

Did you miss me?

Of course I did.

But looking at how ungrateful you are,

how are you similar to me? You are like that person.

Did Senior Deity come here?

He has left.

How come he just left?

He said that we'll return to Polar Abyss together.

Father, I had a nightmare earlier!

I dreamed that I was being pursued, being hurt, and then throwing up a lot of blood.

Where's the blood? Where are your injuries? It's just a dream.

You're very fine, so why are you still here?

Are you waiting for the Heavenly Soldiers to come here?

Father, what does this have to do with the Heavenly Palace?

In my dream, the one pursuing me is the High Immortal at the Southern Mountain.

There's major relationship.

Everyone in Heavenly Palace now knows that you harbor demonic aura.

Jiuchen had to use the excuse that you have died

to temporarily fool the Heavenly Court.

He is, after all, the God of War. Defending you once or twice may work.

Do you expect him to protect you forever?

Father, what are you saying?

How can I harbor demonic aura?

Father, have you forgotten? Immortal Lord of Universal Turn personally examined me.

If not because Jiuchen did some trick,

would you have escaped Immortal Lord of Universal Turn's meticulous eyes?

- Father, are you drunk?- I'm quite sober!

Once someone learns that he harbored you,

how should he position himself in the Heavenly Court?

As the God of War of the Heavenly Race,

you think he'll go against the whole Heavenly Race just for you?

Stop being infatuated and pestering him!

You will only harm him. Just behave and stay here in Peach Forest.

Wuwan! Wuwan!

Wuwan, come back!

Wuwan! Wuwan!

I've searched for you for a long time.

Demon Tribe?

Not knowing how to know the limits of one's power.

Father!

- Father! Father!- Ling Xi!

Ling Xi, quickly run!

Father!

- Let's go! Get up!- Father!

Father!

Why are things like this? Why?

I even want to ask you that!

They are from the Demon Tribe. Why do they want to kill you?

- I... I...don't know.- How could you not know?

Peach Forest has always been peaceful. If not for you,

how could people from the Demon Tribe suddenly attack this place?

- I...I... really don't know.- Stop saying you don't know!

Teacher just died right in front of me earlier!

It's you. You caused his death!

- It's you! It's you!- It wasn't me!

It's you!

Chengyan!

It's not true. It's not.

No.

It's not true.

Senior Deity. Senior Deity.

God of War, what excuse do you still have?

Senior Deity, it's not true.

I didn't...

You believe me. You believe me, right?

Senior Deity.

Senior Deity. Senior Deity!

High God, Ling Xi... What should we do?

What can we do?

Ziguang, Fangsheng!

Arrest this minor immortal and wait for Heavenly Emperor to try her.

Yes.

Senior Brother.

Senior Deity.

High God, Senior Deity...

You're very quick-witted.

Senior Deity, have you forgotten? My name is LIng Xi. 'Ling' from 'ji ling' or quick-witted.

'Xi' for tide. How could I not be quick-witted?

Senior Deity, how come you're not by my side?

Are you annoyed at me now?

But I like you.

Very, very much.

It's not a like of a child toward his elders.

It's a like between a man and a woman.

Senior Deity, I want to be with you.

No matter what happens, I will never be demonized.

What are you fearing then?

I fear that people will talk.

I fear that trouble will come.

I fear of implicating my family and you.

Ling Xi has always be adorable and likable. How could she turn into a demon?

Even if she did, being by Senior Deity's side all the time,

how could Senior Deity not notice it? Could they have been wrong?

How many times have I told you

that being demonized and harboring demonic aura in you are two different things?

It happened in front of the main hall of the Heavenly Palace and everyone witnessed it.

I also hoped that it was just a mistake, but...

What do we then? Quickly think of a way to save Ling Xi.

What method can I have? If I have one,

would Senior Deity still be this sad?

Can't you see that Senior Deity didn't even light his lamp?

Let's wait for news from the Heavenly Palace first.

The criminal Ling Xi really harbors demonic aura?

Replying to Heavenly Emperor, it has been confirmed.

She was really a demon.

I knew it.

- Since she disturbed the order here in the Heavenly Palace, she should be strictly punished! - Yes.

That immortal not only harbors a bit of the Demon Lord's aura,

she also bears the unique demonic mark of Demon Lord Wuzhiqi.

If she gets captured by remnants of the Demon Tribe,

they would help that Demon Lord to easily escape out of his seal.

At that time, all living creatures within the Six Realms

will surely be plunged into utter misery.

The consequences are dire.

- What should we do?- Yes, what should we do?

What to do?

Since that is the case, why didn't you sense it before?

It was my oversight. May the Heavenly Emperor please punish me.

Informing Heavenly Emperor, in my opinion,

we shouldn't put all the blame on Immortal Lord of Universal Turn about this matter.

Try thinking about it. A measly minor immortal from the lower realm, if she didn't get any help,

how could she have resisted the testing done by Immortal Lord of Universal Turn?

I find this matter fishy.

Heavenly Emperor, if my memory serves me right,

it was Jiuchen who insisted on having this scourge stay by his side.

Rumors have long been abroad here in the Heavenly Palace. Thinking about it now,

there might be basis to it?

Heavenly Emperor is wise. Everything is just coincidental.

- May the Heavenly Emperor please investigate it wisely.- Please investigate it wisely.

What you two are implying then is I've wrongly blamed Jiuchen?

May Heavenly Emperor make the judgment.

May Heavenly Emperor make the judgment.

May Heavenly Emperor make the judgment.

- Immortal Lord of Universal Turn.- I am here.

Strictly investigate if there are still remnants of the Demon Tribe here in the Heavenly Palace.

Investigate why Ling Xi harbors demonic aura and the demonic imprint of the Demon Lord.

Yes.

Ziguang. Fangsheng.

I am here.

Strictly investigate the whereabouts of the remnants of the Demon Tribe.

Lead a troop of Heavenly Soldiers to seal off Dark Capital Mountain.

If you discover any remnants of the Demon Tribe, kill them all.

Yes!

Yuantong.

I am here.

You are meritorious for reporting and warning us about this.

Your immortal rank is increased by a level, and you will be staying here in the Heavenly Palace.

Thank you, Heavenly Emperor.

Heavenly Emperor, then Jiuchen...

How do we deal with that criminal Ling Xi?

May Heavenly Emperor give the instruction.

Once everything has been clearly investigated, all the immortal officials will be gathered again for a discussion.

Yes!

That was close.

Indeed.

On this trip to Dark Capital Mountain to eliminate the remnant of the Demon Tribe,

everyone is watching. You must not be careless.

Yes, God of Heavenly Thunder!

General Kaiyang.

Things are really unpredictable. Heavenly Emperor ordered me

to strictly investigate the matter of the remnants of the Heavenly Tribe.

Looks like I have no time to train in the War Division today.

I believe that General Kaiyang will not be against it.

Oh right. How was the criminal Ling Xi able to hide in Fuyun Hall for this long,

and was never been found out?

This must be investigated too.

Maybe...your cooperation will be needed, General Kaiyang.

Why say so much? We still have important things to do.

Let's go.

Yuantong!

Heavenly Generals, what do you need from us?

Yuantong, why didn't you report first to Senior Deity

that Ling Xi has demonic aura

and instead directly reported it to Heavenly Emperor?

With you bypassing the chain of command like this,

in what position are you putting Senior Deity?

I have much respect for Senior Deity.

But for such an important matter, with Senior Deity not being in the Heavenly Palace, who else could decide on it?

Shouldn't I report it to Heavenly Emperor?

If there's nothing else, I'm talking my leave.

She...

How come she became like that?

Everyone has their aspiration. You can't force her.

Informing Doctor Qingyao, Star Lord Mude asks for an audience.

Please tell Star Lord Mude

that I'm currently smelting medicines and have no time to see him.

If he needs anything, he can go look for Senior Yuli.

Yes.

What did Doctor Qingyao say?

Doctor Qingyao is creating medicines, and told me to tell Star Lord Mude to look for Senior Sister Yuli instead.

She's still refining medicines?

Even if she doesn't want to see Star Lord Mude,

- she should go to Purple Cloud Platform—- Shh!

They are sisters after all. It's already at this time.

She's still in the mood to refine medicines?

Purple Cloud Platform is currently heavily guarded.

No one is allowed to go near it without Heavenly Emperor's orders.

What's the use of the Doctor going there?

Fellow immortal lords, the case of Ling Xi has now been fully investigated.

It is a special case.

How does everyone think we should handle this?

Informing Heavenly Emperor, in my opinion,

- Ling Xi should be executed. She should—- Informing Heavenly Emperor,

I am against it.

With the assistance of the great magical formation on the Purple Cloud Platform

plus the joined forces of High Gods before the punishment platform,

altogether purifying her demonic aura,

completely eliminating the demonic imprint of Demon Lord Wuzhiqi.

Let him never be able to be freed.

Heavenly Emperor, I oppose.

Yunfeng, why do you oppose?

Reporting, Heavenly Emperor.

Lingxi and God of Heavenly Thunder have old grudges.

Due to her words and actions, she clashed with God of Heavenly Thunder numerous times.

I think God of Heavenly Thunder harbors hard feelings

and wants to make use of this opportunity to use his position to take revenge for a personal grudge.

Absurd! Heavenly Emperor, I'm above this!

If I punish a junior fairy from the lower realm,

would I need to use my position to get even with her for a personal grudge?

Wouldn't I be able to differentiate the cardinal virtues of right and wrong?

Dare I ask High God Yunfeng

if you have differentiated this clearly?

You are using your position to take revenge for a personal grudge.

Let me ask you, why can we not just suck out the demonic aura within Ling Xi

before cleansing the demonic imprint from her?

Why must Lingxi die?

Reporting Heavenly Emperor, if she doesn't die, the evil spirit won't disperse.

For the sake of the common people in the Six Realms, I support God of Heavenly Thunder.

Are you all mutes? Speak up!

I support High God Yunfeng.

I support God of Heavenly Thunder.

God of War is here.

I, Jiuchen, pay my respects to the Heavenly Emperor.

Jiuchen, you are here just in time.

The immortals and I are discussing Lingxi.

You are the God of War in Heavenly Palace. What do you think?

I request that you spare Lingxi's life.

I'm willing to be banished to Polar Abyss to personally guard the place

and I won't give the Demon Tribe even the slightest opportunity.

Heavenly Emperor, please inspect carefully.

Since I will personally be the guard, I will hand over the God of War Seal,

resign as the God of War and give up my immortal status.

I will remain forever, guarding the Polar Abyss,

and won't take a single step out.

Heavenly Emperor, please grant my request.

Jiuchen, have you really thought this through?

Heavenly Emperor, please grant my request.

Reporting to Heavenly Emperor, it is from the Heavenly Supreme Lord's Heavenly Mountain.

Heavenly Mountain? Did Heavenly Supreme Lord come out of seclusion?

Your disciple welcomes Teacher upon coming out of seclusion.

Jiuchen, come in to see me.

Yes.

Your disciple, Jiuchen, respectfully greets Teacher.

After many years of not seeing each other, the killing aura and evil tendencies in your immortal skeleton

have diminished significantly.

Looks like your mind level as increased a lot. Not bad.

Rise.

Yes.

I just praised you on how your mind level has increased,

why then can't you see through this fabrication?

If it was Yunfeng who was here,

he would be happily jumping around.

He would never react like you did.

Teacher probably finds Junior Brother annoying, that's why you didn't call him in.

That is true indeed.

It's more proper to say that he's afraid of me.

If I ask him about his immortal cultivation,

guess what he'll say?

He'll be hiding far from you.

Very true.

You...are steadier and resolute.

You know very well what duty is.

Most likely because your parents

died in a battle against the demons.

Since little, you made it your goal to become the God of War.

Wiping out the evil demons in this world with your sword, and preserve peace in the Six Realms.

I still remember that when you were little,

you made a vow that as long as you're around, demons cannot exist.

That really stunned me.

Before I was born, my mother had suffered grave injuries.

If not because of you, this disciple would not exist.

Do you still remember then

your duty and promise?

I do.

May Teacher enlighten me.

For what reason

did you call me here by myself?

Do you really not know?

Do you really not know

or you don't want to know?

That minor immortal

cannot be allowed to live.

Although I'm in seclusion here,

I frequently communicate with heaven and earth.

I know very well what is happening in Heavenly Palace.

I know very well what happened at Dark Capital Mountain.

I also know very well what is going on between you and Ling Xi.

Since you know it very well,

why then must she die? I can—

Lock her in Polar Abyss?

As long as she is alive, the Demon Lord

will appear.

It does not matter where she is locked up.

I am also not bent on killing her.

It was destiny that's dictating this. We can't do anything about it.

Ling Xi is also a living creature.

She did not do anything wrong.

How come she must die?

Do you want to lose the majority for a minority,

bring disaster to all living things?

If I am unable to protect her now,

how can then I be able to guard all living things in this world in the future?

That is right.

She is also a living thing.

But she's not all living things.

Just one death of hers in exchange for the survival of all living things in the Six Realms,

her death is worth it.

If heaven and earth are in trouble,

if your death would be able to save all living things in the Six Realms,

are you willing?

I, your disciple, am willing.

How come you can die and she cannot?

- I, your disciple...- Cannot figure it out? Then stay here and think about it.

You will eventually figure it out.

It has been half a day, why is she not out yet?

Shisan, do not rush. Doctor Qingyao is very intelligent

and she is like a real sister to Ling Xi. She surely will come up with an idea.

Idea...idea...

No, I must go in and find her. Qingyao!

- Qing—- Fairies, you cannot go in.

Doctor is currently heating her stove and refining medicines. She cannot see any guests.

Fairies, please wait a while more.

Fire is already singing the eyebrows, and she still is in the mood to refine medicines? (T/N very urgent)

She even kept us waiting here outside.

How is this like real sisters?

Bullshit. This is clearly "going on each other's separate ways in face of danger!"

You will not help Ling Xi, is that it?

Fine. I will do it myself!

Shisan, where are you going?

You are not waiting anymore?

Shisan, what idea do you have?

If I had an idea, will I still come see her?

But ideas are thought of. I surely will come up with one!

Anyway, we are not begging her anymore.

Qingyao! Qingyao!

We have a problem, Qingyao!

Why so panicky?

Heavenly Emperor just gave a decree

to execute your junior sister on the Purple Cloud Platform.

I know that you must bear a grudge against me for not considering our disciple sisterly relationship

and revealing the demonic aura matter to the Heavenly Palace.

But I never thought that things will become like this.

Although I hate her, I never thought of killing her.

Are you listening to me?

You and Ling Xi are close sisters. Why are you still here when she is about to be executed?

Senior Sister, actually, I never bore any grudges against you.

You never hated me?

What medicine are you making?

So fragrant.

You can smell it.

Doctor! Doctor!

You cannot go out.

I am refining a medicine for Star Lord Mude and I lack one ingredient.

Master has given the order

to forbid Physician Qingyao from leaving the Lord of Heavenly Medicine's manor.

Please, Doctor, don't give me a hard time.

Don't worry. I know you have your difficulties.
