LOVE AND REDEMPTION

Episode 38 Subbed by Productive Procrastination

Xuanji.

Xuanji.

You were wrong to trust him.

Luckily it’s not too late

to understand now.

Master not good!

What happened?

Wu Tong led the demons from the Tianxu Sect to attack us.

Linglong and Minyan are surrounded.

That bastard Wu Tong.

Explain to them that you’re not a demon Sifeng!

Sifeng!

I’m sorry.

Go!

I don’t want to see you!

Wu Tong!

Tianxu Sect.

I will kill those demons!

The God of War has defied her superiors.

She is a traitor.

Immediately take her to the Heavenly Gallows.

You Asuras how dare you defy the Heavenly Realm!

Die then!

Xuanji!

It’s you?

What’s wrong with Xuanji?

Xuanji’s God of War powers are awakened.

Xuanji…

at a time like this...

Those useless fools from Lize Palace

could not deal with you?

Wu Tong.

Today

I will make sure

that you will be doomed eternally.

I knew long ago that you were the God of War from Heaven.

That’s why I went to such lengths to bring the scale of the torch dragon from Mount Buzhou.

That scale is not afraid of your powers.

It’s a defense against divine powers.

Today

I have made a shield out of it.

I want to see

what ability you have.

The scale of the torch dragon?

Never expected

that you would use the thing I used before

to deal with me.

I am not only using the things you used before to deal with you,

even your little lover Yu Sifeng

opposes you too.

Fine.

Today

I will make sure that all the demons

lose their lives here!

Empyrean dark fire!

Set up the formation!

There is a cave there. Let’s hide there.

Follow me.

Hurry and hide.

-Xuanji! -Master.

Let’s go.

Let’s go. Go!

Hurry and go!

Withdraw!

Hurry!

Linglong!

Xuanji’s powers are too terrifying.

She’s a monster.

What are you saying?

Xuanji is protecting us.

She’s the God of War.

The General God of War who killed many demons in Heaven.

Never heard of her?

Xuanji!

Hurry and stop!

Hao Chen! Hao Chen!

Xuanji!

Enough Xuanji!

All of the demons have withdrawn.

Don’t hurt anymore people!

Xuanji!

Xuanji!

Xuanji!

Xuanji what’s wrong?

Sect Leader.

She is fine now.

But the Empyrean dark fire is a force to be reckoned with

we must hurry and get rid of the pure yang Qi in her.

Ok hurry!

Hurry!

Don’t worry.

Xuanji will be fine.

Linglong.

What’s wrong?

I’m fine.

Sifeng!

Sifeng!

Sifeng!

Sifeng!

Sifeng!

Sifeng don’t go!

Let go of me!

Sifeng!

Sifeng…Sifeng…

Sifeng...

Sifeng…Sifeng…

Sifeng…

Sifeng didn’t you say

that you will protect yourself

and not injure yourself?

Sifeng.…

You said you’ll be with me forever.

You won’t leave me Sifeng.

Sifeng...

Sifeng!

Xuanji.

You had a nightmare?

I...

I dreamed about Sifeng.

I told you before

those demons are crafty.

They must not be trusted.

In order to revive the Mosha Star

in order to put the Three Realms in chaos

they will do everything.

They’ll pretend to be your friend, pretend to sacrifice themselves.

That’s just a technique to win your heart.

It’s fake?

It’s just a trick?

Of course.

Yu Sifeng has never been sincere to you.

From the start, he approached you

because of the secret realm,

to see what is sealed within the secret realm.

It’s only because you’re the daughter of the Sect Leader of the Shaoyang Sect.

He knows that you’re kind and naive.

That’s why he befriended you.

After he discovered

that you could seal Dingkun

he guessed that you were the God of War.

The God of War is the greatest foe of the demons

that’s why he plotted every step

to get close to you.

To soften you to him.

He made you desire love.

Made you so that you can’t part from him.

That way he can control your heart easily

so that you lose your resolve to protect the Three Realms.

So that you can be used by his clansmen.

Everything he did

was just to control you

to use you!

I was unwilling to let you leave the mountain and train

because you are simple and naive.

You cannot distinguish good from evil.

I did not expect that you would still fall for the traps of the demon clan.

You have seen the truth for yourself now.

Just think of it as a trial in your life.

I will keep you company.

I will help you overcome this trial and assist you

to return to your post as a deity.

Deity?

You’re the God of War.

You belonged to the Heavenly Realm.

Of course you have to return there.

Never mind.

Get some rest.

I’m going to leave now.

♪ Retrieve the beauty that are colorless in your eyes ♪

♪ With you, I watch how the flowers flourish and wither ♪

Sifeng...

♪ Unseal all the memories that are buried in dust in your heart ♪

Sifeng must be fine.

♪ When the moon rises, the memories flood back in, like waking from a dream ♪

Sifeng…

♪ As long this love is not extinguished, I’ll love you until my last breath ♪

♪ Our love is like a colored crystal ♪

Xuanji.

Linglong.

Do you still think of me as your sister?

Foolish girl.

How are you not my sister?

You’ll always be my little sister.

Don’t think so much ok?

Say...

Sifeng…

does he sincerely love me?

Xuanji,

no demon is sincere.

The disciples of Lize Palace have always worn a mask

everything we see is an illusion.

You should remember what

Uncle Dongfang went through.

6th Senior Brother...

Does Sifeng not love me?

Is this all a lie?

Sifeng is a demon.

He did lie to us about that.

But...

He risked his life for us so many times.

And he risked his life to save you.

So I believe

that Sifeng

is sincere about you.

Do you want to kill Xuanji by saying that?

Xuanji don’t listen to him.

Yu Sifeng is a 12-feathers red-golden bird demon,

he’s the head disciple of the Lize Palace.

It’s impossible that he doesn’t know that the Lize Palace plans to ambush us at Dianjing Valley.

If he truly loves you at all,

he won’t just stand there and watch while the blood of the righteous sects has flown enough to fill a river.

It’s already like this.

Xuanji…

don’t lie to yourself.

I have to find Sifeng.

And ask him myself.

Do you want to be fooled by him again?!

I don’t want to be deceived by him.

But I have to ask him

whether he truly loves me or not.

I have to give him a chance to tell me.

But yesterday during the battle everyone saw clearly.

The Lize Palace were the accomplices of the Tianxu Sect.

Anyone who has any contact with the Tianxu Sect

will become evil.

Even if Yu Sifeng is not evil before,

he is a demon now.

He’s already the accomplice of the Tianxu Sect.

I will not let you have contact with anyone belonging to the Tianxu Sect.

Linglong.

I know you worry about me.

But Sifeng is the person I care about.

He is the person I sincerely love.

I don’t believe that he is in cohorts with the Tianxu Sect.

Linglong.

Xuanji’s God of War powers has awakened.

The Tianxu Sect can’t hurt her.

Perhaps...

she should ask Sifeng what happened.

It would be better.

The Tianxu Sect can’t hurt her,

but Yu Sifeng can!

What if the Tianxu Sect uses Sifeng?

Then Xuanji can’t escape.

Have you considered about Xuanji’s safety?

Those who hurt people for the Tianxu Sect were threatened by the Tianxu Sect to do so.

Sifeng has always been clever,

he cannot be so easily controlled.

Kou Tonghai requests an audience.

Greetings General God of War.

Greetings General God of War!

We did not realize that the God of War had arrived.

It is a serious crime.

The Valley ordered me to invite you

and Celestial Teng She to the main hall to apologize for the poor welcome.

No, no, no.

Elder Kou call me Xuanji.

I...

My injuries have not recovered yet.

Please tell the Chief

that I will go visit him another day.

But...didn’t Celestial Teng She say

you’re fully recovered?

Have you recovered?

Did you do the things I told you to do?

To me these minor wounds

are nothing!

It’s the same with you!

You regained your powers.

Your injuries will be fine after you use your Qi.

They gave me a peach.

So I couldn’t refuse them.

Do you want one?

You!

General God of War.

All the sect leaders

are waiting for your arrival.

Sect Leader Chu from Shaoyang has been waiting for you for a long time too.

Fine.

I will go with you.

General God of War.

This way.

Stop.

The main hall is where we discuss important matters. Only members of the righteous sects can go.

You’ve been banished from Shaoyang don’t make things hard for me.

But...

General God of War,

this way.

Xuanji then we’ll be waiting for you in your room.

Go.

What do you mean?

That is the quarters of the God of War.

It’s not appropriate for you to be here.

Go and wait in the outer courtyard.

I’m Xuanji’s senior brother, she’s Xuanji’s elder sister.

How are we outsiders?

You’ve been banished from Shaoyang

so you are no longer her senior brother.

As for this elder sister…

you’re tainting the reputation of the Shaoyang by remaining here.

Go and wait outside.

It was this Elder Miss Shaoyang

who had a colorful history with Wu Tong.

No wonder she was saved after being captured by the Tianxu Sect.

She was not saved!

She saved herself!

What did you say?

Stop the mockery.

Tell us what you mean!

Never mind.

Let’s go.

Apologize!

Otherwise,

I will not let you off easily.

Warrior Zhong,

then tell us

what matter should I apologize to Warrior Chu over?

Tell us clearly.

So that we know.

Linglong!

Father.

Father!

Father what is wrong?

I’m fine.

Go and listen to the Valley Chief.

After yesterday’s battle,

many of our sect members have died.

They have taken our final key as well.

If you did not show us your God of War’s power

no one at the Dianjing Valley would be alive.

Sect Leader Chu’s beloved daughter is so powerful.

Never expected that a true deity was

among us cultivating sects.

I apologize for my disrespect.

I apologize.

I...

I only found out yesterday.

My daughter, she was very ordinary and normal

but I don’t know what happened for her to become like this.

It may be because

us mortals

are unable to understand.

No matter what

the appearance of the God of War

must be because the Heavenly Realm wishes to protect the Mortal Realm.

We invite you here today

first to thank you for assisting us

and secondly...

Secondly...

I have a favor to ask.

If you need me to do anything

just tell me.

Chief Rong!

Please can the God of War lead the righteous sect

and rid the world of demons!

Protect us mortals!

This...

Please can the God of War lead the righteous sects

and rid the world of demons!

Protect us mortals!

Chief Rong…

Uncle Dongfang.

I do not dare to agree so lightly to this.

This...

I am unable to bear

such a heavy responsibility.

You should find someone else.

Sect Leader Chu...

If the God of War disagrees,

then we will not rise.

Fine.

Xuanji,

I will go on my knees and beg you too.

Father!

Father what are you doing Father!

Father are you ok?

How could this happen?

Father what’s wrong?

Father!

How could this happen?

Father!

The Sect Leader was injured seriously by Yu Sifeng’s master.

He should be in bed recuperating.

He can only drag himself here.

Father! Father!

Father!

Could there be a Gu worm inside Sect Leader Chu? Father!

Could there be a Gu worm inside Sect Leader Chu?

It must be the work of the red-golden bird demon! What should we do?

No Father!

Teng She! Teng She!

Teng She hurry take a look!

Father! Father!

Hurry up!

Father!

It’s the stomach que.

It’s very common.

They feed on the lungs of mortals

and can trigger immense pain.

They will suffer a fate worse than death.

Can it be cured?

Didn’t you also…

As you recognize it then you know how to cure it right?

Say you…

Hurry up then!

Right.

I-It can be cured.

No need to cure it! I can just take it out!

Father...

Get up first.

Get up first.

Father...

Xuanji,

look carefully.

Look at how cruel and merciless the demon tribes are.

That is their nature!

If we do not get rid of them all

how can Three Realms be in peace?!

Xuanji…

-Xuanji… -Father!

It’s not that

we are trying to force you to be our leader,

it’s the only choice we have now.

The demons either steal our hearts,

or they are a spy

managing to take advantage of our flaws,

causing such a big blow to the cultivating sects.

Right now only 3 sects are left out of the 5 sects.

This is just the tip of the damage that you see,

if this continues,

I fear we will all separate

and none of us can work together again.

Xuanji.

You’re the reincarnation of the God of War.

Out of all the members of the 3 sects

the only person who has the influence who can lead us

is only you.

I...

Do you understand the hard position we’re all in now?

Child,

just agree to it ok?

Father! Father!

I agree.

I agree to be your leader alright?

That’s great.

Good.

Good child.

Good.

Starting from today,

we finally have someone to lead the righteous sects!

Bring in the Zhenghun record!

Everyone.

The Zhenghun record

is a record of

the disciples who have died in the hands of demons.

There are 372 of them!

Right now their bodies have grown cold,

but the demons who killed them are still in the Mortal Realm!

Please can Leader

lead us

to kill all members of the Tianxu Sect

and massacre the Lize Palace.

And seek revenge!

Kill all of members of the Tianxu Sect

and massacre the Lize Palace!

Seek revenge!

Seek revenge!

Massacre the Lize Palace?

Exactly.

Please make the order.

I...

Do you still have illusions over the Lize Palace?

You’re unwilling to lead us in our quest for revenge?

I...

Xuanji has other intentions.

Do not misunderstand.

Right now the Tianxu Sect and the Lize Palace are in cohorts.

They have all 4 spiritual keys.

Then the next thing they plan to do

is to revive the Mosha Star.

If we only think about seeking revenge now,

then it will delay us

and give them a chance.

Elder Hao Chen what you mean is…

The first thing we should consider is,

we must not let the devils succeed in their evil plans.

They plan to revive the Mosha Star

then the final obstacle to their plan is the secret realm of the Shaoyang Sect.

So my advice is,

the Shaoyang Sect should hurry back to protect the realm

once we gather up all our members,

and meet up in Shaoyang.

First we can protect the secret realm together,

secondly,

we can discuss how we can seek revenge.

What Senior Hao Chen said

are my plans exactly.

Good.

Then we will let them live for a few more days.

Once the 3 sects gather up in Mount Shaoyang we will discuss this again.

Only...

we know

that Leader you are very close with that 12-feathers red-golden bird demon.

Please can the Shaoyang Sect

give us a promise.

Do not be entangled with that demon every again.

That way we can all be assured.

Chief Rong.

Didn’t Xuanji just agree

to be our Leader now?

Before Xuanji was deceived by him,

right now as she knows Yu Sifeng is a demon

then I believe

next time she encounters Yu Sifeng again

she will crush his bones to ashes

to console our wronged dead.

Sifeng.

Are you better?

This is the antidote to the lover’s curse. Hurry and take it.

That way I can be at ease.

Master.

Isn’t the lover’s curse completely incurable?

In this world there is no curse that

does not have an antidote.

You only have to make a different sacrifice.

As the lover’s curse sets root when there is love,

then of course the antidote will get rid of that feeling.

After you consume it,

you can forget everything.

That person will not be in your heart anymore.

And the lover’s curse will of course dissipate.

This is not a mortal medicine.

The Lize Palace only has one.

Take it.

I cannot take it.

I don’t want to forget her either.

Are you still unwilling to forget her?

That Chu Xuanji, as soon as she heard you were a red-golden bird demon

immediately chose to stand with her sect!

Can’t you understand her position?

I concealed the truth from her first.

It’s not her fault.

The Lize Palace has lived in peace for centuries.

Master.

Are you really going to destroy it?

Also,

Xuanji’s mother…

did you kill her?

It was because she stuck her nose in other people’s business.

She wanted to take my Haofeng away!

In this world,

no one can separate me and Haofeng.

Those who force her,

those who caused her death

do they not deserve to die?!

I am trying to seek revenge for your mother.

Master...

Never mind.

Do you want to see your mother?

Sifeng...

She is your mother.

She...

Has she been lying here all this time?

But why...

Why did you not tell me anything?

I am only waiting...

Waiting for your mother to wake up.

That way it’ll be easier to tell you.

My mother...

What kind of person is she?

She is the nicest woman in the world.

I remember the first time I saw your mother

was when I was around your age.

It was the first time I left the sect to train.

When I saw her again,

I don’t know who she was fighting with,

she was covered with wounds.

I saved her.

Treated her wounds carefully.

And we fell in love.

Is that a phoenix?

Doesn’t look like it.

No.

It’s a red-golden bird.

I’ll put it on you.

Initially I was able to hide

my relationship with your mother well.

Then she fell pregnant,

and we were hoping for your arrival.

But who knew…

on the day you born,

the old chief found out everything.

He was furious when he got here.

He almost killed you on the spot.

Afterwards when he found out you inherited the 12-feathers bloodline

he changed his mind.

The old chief brought you back to the Lize Palace without giving me a reason.

He forced me to wear the lover’s curse mask.

I was so fortunate.

Your mother understood me, treasured me, she did not regret her love for me.

Even though she knew I was the red-golden bird demon

she never left my side.

The only thing I regret is,

she was unable to see you grow up.

It was until those despicable cultivators came,

when they found out she was with a demon,

and forced her to tell them who I was.

Your mother...

only ended up like this because

of us...

Since I brought her back,

not a day goes by

when I do not search for a way to revive her.

And now,

I finally waited for this day.

Sifeng.

Just now for your mother I consumed the 1000-year-old stone marrow.

When your mother wakes up,

and she sees you,

she will be very happy.

Master...

Even now

you still call me Master?

I know.

Do you hate me for not telling you

so soon?

The Lize Palace forbids its members to marry and have children.

The old chief forced me using your mother

forced me to make the vow.

Before you are grown up, you will not know that we are your parents.

In this way,

you can

be the hope that brings our clan back to glory.

How can there be a son who

does not accept his father?

You....have always treated me very well.

Can you...

call me Father?

Never mind.

20 years have passed.

Why should I force you?

Father.

What did you call me?

Father...

I am unfilial.

Made you worry.

Come, hurry and rise.

Good child.

Your father...I...

am so happy.

Haofeng

do you see that?

Our child....

he’s all grown up!

He called me Father!

It’s almost time.

When you wake up,

the three of us,

can happily

talk to each other.

Haofeng.

Senior Brother you finally came out.

You lit the Danya fire without permission breaking our rules

what do you want?!

When the Danya fire is lit,

it means an important matter will occur.

The Lize Palace,

needs a new owner.

Deputy Chief!

How can you say something so defiant.

What the Deputy Chief said

was a good suggestion!

Do you want to rebel?

Guards! Take them to the Hall of Punishments!

Elders.

Why don’t you make a decision after hearing my thoughts?

The true identity of the Lize Palace has been revealed.

The entire Lize Palace should prepare for the worst,

for our future.

But my senior brother,

our Chief,

hides in the underground to keep a dead person company.

He completely disregards the safety of the Lize Palace.

Should we not change such a Chief?

You want a new chief right?

Yes.

That is what I wish too.

I am fed up of being a Chief anyway.

I wish to borrow this chance

to give it to a better person.

Hold a meeting!

Sifeng

you stand there.

I have managed the Lize Palace for 20 years.

But I have spent those 20 years

in a completely muddled state.

No wonder a certain someone

wishes me to give up my position to a better candidate.

Chief,

the only reason why we are in peace

because of you who is here to guide us so that we are not in chaos.

How can you say you’re in a muddled state?

Over these years, it was the Deputy Chief who has been managing all the affairs of the palace.

Yet Elder Luo you say that it was because we have the Chief

you are outright lying.

Elder He!

Enough.

I know very well what I’ve been doing.

You do not need to argue.

I’m fed up of being the Chief.

It’s time to hand the reins of power to someone who can manage it.

Yu Sifeng listen up!

From today,

you are the new chief of the Lize Palace.

I hand you the gold feather seal

of the Lize Palace Chief.

The Danya fire has been lit up.

The order has been made.

You have inherited the bloodline of the 12-feathers bird.

No one can surpass the power of your bloodline.

Today I pass this seal to you,

so you’re the new Lize Palace Chief.

Come.

Everyone pay your respects to our new chief.

Wait.

Junior Brother.

I have given up my position.

What?

Is it not to your satisfaction?

Yu Sifeng has no right to be the chief.

You’ve gone mad.

How can we believe the words of a madman?

Looking for death!

Senior Brother why are you so angry?

I know that you have always felt that you’re not mad.

But I want to ask you a question.

After you answer me

all the elders can judge it for themselves.

What do you want to ask?

After you give up your position,

what do you plan to do?

Haofeng and I love each other.

Of course I will take her and leave this place.

What are you laughing about?

Shut up!

Where did you learn that technique from?

It is a technique the old chief taught me to restrain you.

He told me to watch over you properly,

to stop being mad.

I’m not mad!

Senior Brother,

if Haofeng is still alive,

she will only hate you.

You mutually love each other?

I think you’ve truly gone mad.

That’s a lie!

That’s a lie!

Senior Brother.

I am here.

According to you,

Haofeng never regretted her love for you and never abandoned or betrayed you.

She even lifted the lover’s curse mask for you.

But the truth is,

the love she had for you stopped after she found out you were a demon.
