(Episode 25)

What are you waiting for?

Arrest her.

You're always negligent in running the country.

Now you see it, don't you?

You've lost people's support long ago

and you’re veritably without any follower to trust now.

You.

Take him away.

So you've been colluding with them.

Your era is over.

There is no place for you

on Qianyuan Continent.

The Crown Prince...

The Crown Prince won't let your plot bear fruit.

Your Crown Prince

can't even

save himself now.

You can forget about getting his help.

Take him away.

Yes.

Ziyan, congratulations.

You finally gained control over Qianyuan Continent.

Congratulations, Your Majesty.

She is so powerful.

Let's meet with Boss Jun

down the mountain.

But...

Feng Wu, don't hesitate.

She has turned into a demon.

We are no match for her.

If she leaves the mountain,

there will be unimaginable consequences.

Let's go.

Come on.

What is that sound?

It's the demon.

The demon is coming.

Go complete the explosive energy barrier.

But Young Master...

It's Lord Demon's order.

Yes. Come on.

Retreat.

Young Master.

The demon is getting nearer and nearer.

Leave now or never.

Get out of the energy barrier.

Boss Jun.

Feng Wu.

Run.

Hurry.

Why is Yu Mingye here?

Things have changed.

He works for the other side now.

Young Master.

Blow up the energy barrier.

Even if it won't kill her, it'll hurt her badly.

But our people are still in there.

If you don't blow up the energy barrier right now,

there will be more casualties.

What is this?

It's going to blow up. Let's go.

Feng Wu.

It's not her fault.

She shouldn't be treated like this.

Feng Wu!

Stop!

Young Master!

It's too late!

Young Master.

Don't waste your energy.

Feng Wu!

The seal suppresses most of your spirit energy.

But it allows you

to move freely

without constraints.

You'll have twenty years

to give birth to your child.

Twenty years later,

your tribulation will come.

You can choose to kill that person

and become a demon again

or let go of your hatred

and accept your fate.

Feng Wu!

Feng Wu!

Feng Wu!

Feng Wu!

Feng Wu!

Feng Wu!

What is the meaning of this?

The Holy Sovereign of Junwu Clan has issued an order.

Jun Linyuan, Feng Xun, Xuan Yi, and Feng Wu

colluded in secret.

They attempted to poison the Holy Sovereign, but failed.

Now they have colluded with a demon to bring disaster to the capital.

The Holy Sovereign has ordered me to arrest you all

and escort you to the capital where you shall wait for punishment.

Are you kidding me?

Boss Jun is the Holy Sovereign's biological son.

Why would he harm the Holy Sovereign?

Take Zhao Ge away for treatment.

Yes.

Senior Sister.

Take them away.

Yes.

Feng Xun.

Feng Wu is in a coma.

We must not act rashly

before we find out what happened.

Your Highness,

it's the Holy Sovereign's order.

Please don't make this difficult for us.

Your Highness Jun,

the collusion between you and the demon has been proven.

Just then...

Fortunately, the Darknight Court helped

injure the demon severely.

There would be unimaginable consequences otherwise.

Damn you

for bending the truth.

The Darknight Court is up to no good.

How can you accuse us of colluding with the demon?

That's nonsense.

I simply did as I was ordered.

You may defend yourselves

when you see the Holy Sovereign.

Feng Wu must be with me.

No one is allowed to touch her.

What are you doing?

I suspect this is the proof

that Feng Wu colluded with the demon.

I'm taking it for investigation.

If you stop me,

you declare war on the whole Junwu Clan,

Celestial Palace and Darknight Court.

Does Penglai Pavilion

have the guts to do that?

Your Highness.

Please move.

Senior Sister.

What's going on?

His Highness Jun would never...

Mu Yao.

Just trust me.

Senior Sister.

All these years,

I've been doing as you say.

But you made a mistake

today.

The Darknight Court isn't a good sect.

Does Master know you are working with them?

You are going to ruin

the Celestial Palace's long-standing reputation.

Don't bring up Master to intimidate me.

Mu Yao,

I'll explain things to you another day,

if circumstances allow.

Big changes are going to occur in the capital.

Take our Junior Sisters back to the Celestial Palace as soon as possible.

Don't intervene further.

Demon Wolf.

Your end is here.

You high-rank demon

still has so much strength.

I won't let you hurt the people in the capital.

(The Capital)

By the way,

you told me

you'd be pregnant with our children for 20 years.

I'm fine with a period of 20 years.

I'll take you to the temple and burn incense every year.

It's alright.

No matter what people think of us,

they are our children.

You even have the strength

to struggle, high-rank demon.

I'll keep you as my cultivation material.

I'm telling you a secret.

We actually killed

all your children.

Their death has nothing to do with Feng Wu.

Goddess Zuo, this is dangerous.

You'd better not approach her.

Keep her here.

After putting Feng Wu to death tonight,

I'll take my time to torture her.

Yes.

It's fine.

They didn't die down the Baiding Mountain.

I just need them to be convicted of colluding with the demon.

Now that Wu Youdao has gone from Junwu Academy,

they won't have the ability

to cause any trouble.

Your plan works perfectly.

Now

all the followers of Crown Prince have been arrested.

And we've got help from the Celestial Palace

and Darknight Court.

I'm sure Penglai Pavilion

dares not defy us blatantly.

Soon, you will be the ruler

of Qianyuan Continent.

Have proper arrangements been made for the Holy Sovereign?

The Holy Sovereign is imprisoned.

Without your permission,

nobody must approach him.

I have spread the word

that the Holy Sovereign has started cultivating

behind closed doors again.

The Holy Sovereign has cultivated behind closed doors

multiple times over the years.

Nobody will suspect anything.

Good.

But

I don't know how to punish Feng Wu and the others.

After all, Jun Linyuan is still the Crown Prince.

If we punish him rashly,

the people will feel dissatisfied.

Please give a clear instruction.

Escort Feng Wu to the Sky-reaching Terrace.

Interrogate her

and punish her with the Bone-eroding Thunder.

Imprison the others for now.

By the way,

where is the Demon Wolf?

The Demon Wolf is a high-rank demon.

Although she is severely wounded,

we can't eliminate her

for the moment.

She is suppressed by Zuo Qingluan's spell

in the suburb of the capital

and guarded by Junwu Clan's guards.

Dealing with the Demon Wolf is no need to rush.

We can leave her as Zuo Qingluan's cultivation material.

Feng Wu is our priority.

To prevent trouble,

she must die tonight.

Miss Zhao Ge.

Goddess Zuo ordered

that you must not leave.

Miss Zhao Ge.

Miss Zhao Ge.

Zhao Ge.

You are dismissed.

Yes.

Zhao Ge.

Even you don't trust me?

Senior Sister.

Ever since you asked me

to lure Wu to Baiding Mountain,

I've deemed you unworthy of my trust.

Why don't you explain?

We have spent so many years together.

I don't believe you are such a person.

Did you turn into like this

because you are jealous of Feng Wu?

Zhao Ge,

listen to me and go back.

After I handle the affairs,

I'll take you back to the Celestial Palace.

Your spirit energy has increased a lot.

Master has changed her opinion of you.

I'll continue to protect you

after we return.

Nobody will talk

behind your back anymore.

Wu is innocent.

I'm in this with them.

Zhao Ge,

don't you want to go home with me?

No.

When I was banished from the Celestial Palace to the capital,

Wu cared for me.

When I was bullied,

Mr. Xuan Yi helped me.

I lost my home a long time ago.

They are my families and friends.

I won't give them up.

Senior Sister.

Don't make any more mistakes.

Zhao Ge,

people sure change.

Nothing is more important than life.

Some things change.

But some things never change.

A genuine person will always be genuine.

Senior Sister.

If you refuse to come to your senses,

stand against Feng Wu,

and continue to hurt them,

then we won't

be friends anymore.

Do you mean

you'll cut ties with me

for those outsiders?

Yes.

Fine.

You can suffer with them

if that's what you want.

Take her to the Celestial Prison.

Yes.

Senior Sister.

Do you want some?

Senior Sister.

Don't offend the leader

for me.

Zhao Ge,

I'm sorry.

I wasn't able to persuade Master

to keep you in the Celestial Palace.

You'll leave for the capital

in a month.

It's okay, Senior Sister.

I'll be alright in the capital.

I have good friends there.

I'll introduce them to you when the time comes.

What do you say?

Really?

You

are a loner.

You should make more friends after I'm gone.

I don't need friends.

I...

Don't worry, Senior Sister.

No matter where I am,

I'll always think of you.

And

every time I heard your name

from an outsider, I felt so proud

of having

such a talented

Senior Sister.

Feng Wu.

I will make you pay for it.

Guards!

Open the door!

Let us out!

Guards!

Open the door! Let us out!

Anyone there?

Open the door!

Don't waste your strength.

We can't use

our spirit energy in Celestial Prison.

But we can't just await our doom.

Boss Jun,

say something.

Feng Wu was taken away.

I wonder if she is safe now.

We shouldn't have

let them capture us.

Save your breath.

Didn't you hear what Zuo Qingluan said?

They were working with the Darknight Court.

If the Darknight Lord Demon joined the fight,

we'd lose to him.

We should live to fight another day.

Watch closely.

This is how it ends for a rebel.

Your Highness Jun,

the Holy Queen wants you out for a talk.

Why invite Boss Jun?

The Holy Queen probably

is behind all this.

Please move.

Boss Jun.

Linyuan, you are here.

I need to talk to him.

You are dismissed.

Yes.

Linyuan, come and sit.

I made all these dishes myself.

Try them

and see if they are to your taste.

Since I started to remember things as a child,

you have been cooking for me.

But I seem to forget

when I stopped

enjoying your dishes.

You may not be my biological son,

but I have taken care of you for many years.

We share a family bond.

That's why I hesitated

and didn't reveal

your true colors in public.

Where is the Holy Sovereign locked up?

Don't worry.

He isn't in danger.

Did you marry him

for the power

you've gained today?

I'm your captive now.

There's no need to hide anything.

Just tell me.

You think I did all this

for nothing but power?

The Holy Sovereign,

namely your father.

You saw what he did.

He was designated by Mu Jiuzhou

as the ruler of the whole Qianyuan Continent.

But what has he done?

Yes.

He indulged in cultivation

and paid no attention to world affairs.

But

under his rule,

the land was prosperous and the people lived in peace and wealth.

Isn't that enough?

That's because he was lucky

to rule in a peaceful time.

If he ruled like that in a time of turbulence,

Qianyuan Continent would plunge into an abyss.

Peaceful times and harsh times

shouldn't be compared.

I know how he ruled.

But if disaster or rebellion occurred,

he wouldn't ignore it.

What exactly are you going to do?

Do you know

why Mu Jiuzhou

met his doom

during his ascension?

He deviated from the right track of cultivation.

Yes, he deviated.

But

I was the cause.

I was of your age back then.

Who wouldn't love heroes?

Like numerous damsels,

I fell in love with him.

I developed a crush on him.

But he

rejected me

because of a dead woman.

He said he wanted to ascend to immortality

and protect Qianyuan Continent.

Ziyan,

I know how you feel.

But I had lost the ability to love a long time ago.

In what way am I inferior to my Senior Sister?

Qingtan is a nice man.

Don't miss the opportunity to be with him.

He'll become the ruler of Junwu Clan

and even Qianyuan Continent.

If you stay with him,

you'll realize your dream.

But I only want you.

I only wish to ascend successfully.

There is nothing else can distract me.

You need to give up.

So,

I hate cultivation.

I hate it for taking away my love.

I hate Mu Jiuzhou for going his own way

and leaving me.

So, you destroyed him

because you loved him.

Yes.

I couldn't have him,

so I destroyed him.

I'll also destroy the Continent he wanted to protect.

What kind of world do you want?

A world without cultivators?

No.

A world where

all cultivators serve you.

All that said,

you just did this to gain power.

You have no right to talk about love.

Whatever.

The reason

no longer matters.

Linyuan,

Qianyuan Continent needs people

like you to govern

and bring new hope

to the people.

You jest.

You just want me as a puppet.

You're afraid that you won't succeed

to the throne legally after you eliminate me.

Am I right?

You really think of me this way?

You imprisoned the Holy Sovereign

and colluded with the Darknight Court.

What I think doesn't matter.

What matters

is the people's opinion.

You don't fear death?

Jun Linyuan, what are you doing?

Put down your sword!

Aunt.

That was so dangerous.

Convey my order.

Jun Linyuan colluded with a demon and attempted to murder his mother.

He is the enemy of all cultivators.

Disciples of Junwu Academy, Penglai Pavilion,

Celestial Palace and Darknight Court

must fight him together

to kill him.

Yes.

You couldn't even detain an animal.

What's the use of keeping you?

She tore her claw from her body.

Go find her!

Yes.

What,

you would even disobey my order?

Father.

Feng Wu is the only woman I love.

Please spare Feng Wu

for my sake.

After all these years,

you finally called me father again.

You stopped calling me father

because I told you to kill.

Now you called me father

to save a person.

It's too late.

The five types of lightning have come together.

The Bone-eroding Thunder will torture her to death.

What is happening outside?

Huang Li?

Why are you here?

Zuo Qingluan has been colluding with Holy Queen Gao

and going around working for her.

I heard Feng Wu would be executed at the Sky-reaching Terrace tonight.

Senior Sister...

How did Senior Sister turn into like this?

Someone broke into the prison to rescue the criminals!

Go.

What about you?

Don't mind me. The priority is to save Feng Wu.

But...

Zhao Ge,

I'm sorry that I didn't stop

Mu Yao from bullying you.

I treated you unfairly.

Give me a chance

to make it up to you.

It's all in the past.

I'm over it. It's not your fault.

Guards! Someone broke into the prison!

-Go. -Someone broke into the prison!

No more talking. Let's go.

The five types of lightning have come together.

You can't do anything over there.

Father,

this will be the last time I call you father.

I can't watch the girl I love

die like this.

I'll save her

even if it means going against you

and the whole Darknight Court.
