LOVE AND REDEMPTION

Episode 43 Subbed by Ying & Productive Procrastination

You’re awake Xuanji.

It seems...

you are much better.

You locked yourself in the Mingxia Cave without food or water,

you must be starving.

Here.

Have some food first.

Stop thinking about hurting yourself anymore.

The only thing

you accomplish by doing so is to hurt the ones who care about you and nothing else.

Senior Hao Chen.

I know you used our marriage

to help me out of the situation.

When…

No, you are wrong Xuanji.

Our betrothal did not come about because I was forced.

It has always been my intent.

Xuanji.

I’ve always had feelings for you.

I don’t know when it started.

Perhaps it started when we spent 4 years training together.

Perhaps it began the first time we met by the secret realm.

Perhaps even earlier.

You’ve already been

engraved in my heart.

Do you know why

the marriage stone at the Fuyu Island

would shine upon us?

I heard from Minyan that you and Yu Sifeng

went through 9 lifetime tribulations together.

What you don’t know

is that our relationship

is deeper and started even earlier than your relationship with him.

Through the Bahuang mirror

you will be able to see our past too.

Before, I envied the life pillars of others for their completeness.

Yet my life pillar is empty.

Now that he tied the red string around my life pillar

I will no longer

be all by myself.

Now

I plan to give him my flower of blessed love to him.

That means we will never need to part again.

Turns out...

you’ve always been by my side.

And you also accompanied me in my tribulation too.

Now it’s necessary for Xuanji to remember things that happened in the Heavenly Realm.

Are you saying...

My relationship with the God of War.

You want to remind her

of your past

so she will fall in love with you again, and get her love right?

Glad you figured it out.

That’s good.

But if the God of War remembers,

you can no longer hide your identity.

She will only remember the things

that she should know.

As for the things she doesn’t need to know...

do I need to teach you,

how to make up stories by editing the historical tablets?

Oh I see.

Let me return to the Heavenly Realm and start selecting

the bits from stories that she should and should not “remember”.

I bid my leave now.

Did you see it clearly?

You’ve always been in love with me.

It’s just that you forgot our past.

And confused your heart.

I’m in a mess right now.

It’s fine.

I can wait.

Wait until you know who you truly love.

But there is another matter that cannot wait.

After Master passed away, the Mantra of Unfeeling is not powerful enough to protect the secret realm.

We must speedily cultivate the Mantra of Feeling together.

The highest level of Mantra of Feeling

allows the two in love to share their internal energy.

You are the God of War.

Your power is unimaginable.

If we cultivate this technique

I can borrow your power against the demons.

Xuanji.

let us practice Mantra of Feeling

to fulfill Master’s dying wish

and protect the secret realm.

Young Master.

Young Master.

The holy garden houses the Devil Capital’s sacred flower of the King of the Asuras.

You must not enter.

As a 12-feathers red-golden bird

I can enter the holy garden

without the approval of Elder Feng.

Only three more to go…

Then my spirit cultivation vessel will be ready.

Oh God of War

You better release all of your God of War powers and offer it to me.

Deputy Chief!

Young Master is at the holy garden.

Elder Feng is asking for your instructions.

What is he doing at the holy garden?

Come with me to the holy garden.

Have someone clean this up.

Yes.

Be careful, Young Master.

The devil’s sacred flower

promotes the cultivation of the red-golden bird demons.

There is only one left.

If it’s accidentally destroyed,

it will dramatically slow down our cultivation.

The Lize Palace is full of troubles right now.

We cannot risk adding insult to injury.

The sacred flower has not been nourished by the blood of the devil clan for 1000 years.

The aura of the devil is weak.

The flower before us is a withered one.

If Xuanji’s blood can revive the sacred flower the gold jimsonweed,

that has withered for 1000 years

and regain the aura of the devil

then she’s no doubt the Mosha Star.

Chief.

The devil’s sacred flower is revived!

The devil’s sacred flower is revived!

Is it truly revived?

As my blood

has assisted you in this new life.

That means

you are bound

to listen to my orders.

Accomplish my wishes.

That was the contract

the demons and the Asuras of the devil clan made 1000 years ago.

The devil clan has disappeared for too long.

Now I’ve returned,

are you still willing

to fulfill the obligation to the devil clan?

Yu Sifeng is the Mosha Star?

We, the red-golden bird clan

have accompanied the Asuras of the devil clan since the beginning of time.

The Devil’s Capital is also the home to the red-golden birds.

The return of the devil clan, the revival of the Devil’s Capital

has been the century old goal of the red-golden bird.

We would never forget our obligation.

The devil clan and red-gold bird clan share the same goal.

As the Demon Lord has returned we will carry out our sworn allegiance until our death!

We will carry out our sworn allegiance until our death!

Very good.

The red-golden bird clan is as loyal as before.

Now Lize Palace is totally united in heart and mind.

Deputy Chief.

You can rest assured and return the gold feather seal to me

and give up your position as Chief.

Give up my position?

Deputy Chief previously took the position temporarily

due to Young Master’s lack of experience

and inability to lead.

But now

Young Master is not only the Demon Lord

but also a 12-feathers red-golden bird.

What reason is there

to object his leadership as the Lize Palace as Chief?

If you Deputy Chief still refuse to give it up,

do you plan to rebel or have some sinister motive?

Elder Luo

you must not misunderstand the Deputy Chief.

Ever since the war of 1000 years ago

we demons have lost our original home.

Our situation has been dire for 1000 years!

Deputy Chief formed the Tianxu Sect

to give us more hope, right?

Now the Mosha Star is whole again

he will lead us demons to get back all we lost

and restore glory to the demon and devil clans.

The Deputy Chief

cannot be more happier our lord is back.

There is no way he will rebel.

Demon Lord, please understand the Deputy Chief.

The Deputy Chief used to be the Right Minister at the Devil’s Capital.

I will not doubt his loyalty.

I must thank him

for managing the Lize Palace’s affairs

and leading the Tianxu Sect.

He even gathered all four spiritual keys.

This deeply pleases me.

I trust that

he will also become my loyal right-hand man too.

And aid in my effort to save the Left Minister

to complete our ultimate goal.

The rebirth of the devil leader

is a fortunate thing for the demon clan.

It’s also what I wished for.

Let me make arrangements

to hand over the leadership position in 3 days to you.

From this point on,

I will follow your lead

and listen to your orders.

I hope you will lead us

to kill all the cultivating sects

and annihilate the Heavenly Realm.

So that us demons

can again become the leaders of the Three Realms.

As you and I have the same goal

how can we not accomplish our goal?

Useless!

Can’t even complete a simple task!

Do you know

that Yu Sifeng becoming the Mosha Star now has completely

messed up every part of my plan!

He used his identity to easily convince the demons to pledge their loyalty to him!

What is left for me?

If I was to also lose the spirit cultivation vessel,

I would be unable to absorb the God of War’s power,

and will not have an equal power to the Mosha Star,

then everything I have planned would be in vain!

I put so much effort to revive the Mosha Star

so that he can be my subject!

I did not want to be his subordinate!

Chief...

Forgive me.

Why are you the Mosha Star?

The Mosha Star has the greatest evil aura and is the most powerful.

He’s been sealed for 1000 years.

His hatred and loathing has accumulate for 1000 years

that can absorb everything.

That will turn him into a completely blood thirsty vengeful demon.

I will never allow that to happen.

Yu Sifeng?

No...

I should call you the Mosha Star now.

I kindly

told you about Yuan Lang’s true identity.

I never thought that

you would lie to us completely!

Damn it.

This evil aura...

Mosha Star?

I wouldn’t save you if I want to harm you.

You are a demon.

It shouldn’t be easy for you to come in.

Brother Liu told you about the secret passage right?

Your accomplice is also hiding within Lize Palace too?

That’s right.

I did come with Zhong Minyan.

But I don’t know where he’s hiding within the Lize Palace.

Since you are so powerful why don’t you search for him yourself?

No need to change the topic.

Minyan has already left Lize Palace.

You all came for the spiritual keys.

Did you discover anything?

Look yourself

if I’ve discovered it?

You don’t need to test me.

I have absolutely no clue where Yuan Lang is hiding the keys.

My guess is that you haven’t found anything either.

So it seems the Devil’s Capital Right Minister

is not as loyal to you as he says.

He covers up his

true intention even from you, the Mosha Star.

That’s because Yuan Lang and I

never had the same goal.

I never wanted the Juntian Cehai.

Nor do I want to release the Mosha Star’s stellar soul.

I don’t want to kill the cultivating sects

or control the Three Realms.

I only want to be Yu Sifeng.

All I’m doing is to protect the red-golden birds and other demons

from being used by Yuan Lang.

So

you know nothing about

how Yuan Lang is using the lives of the Lize Palace disciples to fuel his spirit cultivation vessel?

What did you say?

Yuan Lang

is this ruthless against his own clan.

I only wish I could just kill him.

Can you tell me

what he plans to use the spirit cultivation vessel for?

Are you saying

you truly don’t know?

I have heard about the spirit cultivation vessel from Wu Zhiqi.

However I do not remember

the purpose of it.

Wu Zhiqi?

Yu Sifeng.

I believe you.

You only want to be yourself.

You are not the same as Yuan Lang.

You are also not interested in the Juntian Cehai inside Wu Zhiqi’s body.

How about

we work together?

You help me release Wu Zhiqi using the spiritual keys Yuan Lang has.

Then Wu Zhiqi can repay you by killing Yuan Lang.

What do you think?

Will Wu Zhiqi help me kill Yuan Lang?

Wu Zhiqi and Yuan Lang are the Left and Right Ministers for the devil clan.

They are comrades.

How could he possibly kill Yuan Lang for me?

Wu Zhiqi and Yuan Lang are different.

Wu Zhiqi was never interested

in obtaining power

and dominating the Three Realms.

The reason he chose to help Yuan Lang and the King of the Asuras

was simply due to their friendship.

But

Yuan Lang framed him because of the Juntian Cehai

causing him to be imprisoned in the City of Flames

for 1000 years.

Yuan Lang thought he covered all of his tracks.

that Wu Zhiqi did not know anything.

Yuan Lang thought when Wu Zhiqi is released

he will help him like before.

But he’s wrong.

He doesn’t know that

I already collected

plenty of evidence of how he framed Wu Zhiqi.

Plus last time when I entered the

City of Flames, I left Wu Zhiqi all the evidence.

Wu Zhiqi, that stinky monkey,

treats friendship seriously and is carefree and willful,

but he hates betrayal and can tell right from wrong.

Therefore

when Wu Zhiqi is freed

he will avenge Yuan Lang’s betrayal?

Yes.

So now

Wu Zhiqi and you have a common enemy.

Plus Wu Zhiqi knows Yuan Lang very well.

Then isn’t he the best ally for you?

The only thing is…

Are you sure

you can get the spiritual keys from Yuan Lang?

She managed to flee from the Lize Palace.

She was hurt by the evil aura of the vessel

yet she managed to escape.

She has some capability.

Ruo Yu.

You should be relieved that

the spirit cultivation vessel is still here.

That no one has found out the secret in this chamber.

Otherwise I would have taken

the life of your sister and you.

Thank you for not killing me.

We must prepare for the handover of the leadership position to the Mosha Star.

We will be busy.

Why are you still kneeling?

Get up.

Do you really plan to hand over the position to Sifeng?

He revived the devil’s sacred flower in front of everyone.

He couldn’t fake the evil aura that was released.

The news of him being the Mosha Star

will spread fast among all demons.

Even if I don’t yield,

all demons will still bow down to him.

If I defy him publicly,

then I would be going against all demons.

If I do that,

not only would I lose control of Lize Palace

I would possibly lose leadership of the Tianxu Sect as well.

As he asked me for the position.

hence I could only just hand it over.

What if Sifeng asks you for the spiritual keys?

Of course I will give him the spiritual keys

I have no excuse not to.

After all, having the Mosha Star be whole again and become the ultimate destroyer

has always been my wish.

But before that,

I must confirm

the leader to be’s determination

to go against all the righteous cultivating sects.

I must absorb the God of War’s power

using this vessel as soon as possible.

To prevent the Mosha Star from taking all the reins of power.

During the succession ceremony,

I will present a great gift to our new chief.

In order to achieve the highest level of Mantra of Feeling

our minds and hearts must be in complete sync.

Only then would we achieve the greatest power.

You know how to use the Empyrean dark fire.

Now that we have succeed

our hearts are connected

so is our internal energy.

I can now use your God of War’s power.

I am sure we will be able to be victorious

when we fight against Lize Palace.

Sect Leader.

What is it?

Yu Sifeng is about to become the new chief for Lize Palace.

He has sent us the declaration of war.

We must hand over the Crystal Lamp in 3 days.

Or else...

Ever since the formation of the Three Realms,

there has always been conflict between the Heavenly and Demon Realms.

You mortals should not involve yourselves

in the grudge between the Heaven and Demon Realms.

And you should know

by gathering your spiritual keys

we can release the Left Minister,

to summon back my stellar soul so that

it can return to my body.

I give you 3 days to hand over the Crystal Lamp

and obey my command.

or else...

we will massacre the cultivating sects.

He really left no room for negotiation.

Yu Sifeng and the evil Lize Palace demons

are too audacious!

We must not tolerate them any longer.

Xuanji.

Instead of sitting here and wait

we should take up arms

and attack first.

The best defense is the good offense.

Let’s attack them during Yu Sifeng’s

succession ceremony.

You shall lead the elite disciples of the 3 sects

and head the effort.

General God of War you promised

you’d help us and fight against Lize Palace.

We hope you can keep your promise.

Kill all demons and devils and protect us, the righteous cultivating sects.

I made a grave mistake.

I will bear the consequences.

I let Yu Sifeng escape.

I will resolve that problem.

Very well.

Now that it’s clear who Yu Sifeng is

and his ambitions are revealed.

We must eliminate this leader of the demons.

When the time comes you must be the one to kill the Mosha Star.

Then...

We should let the God of War personally put an end to the Mosha Star.

If we don’t avenge our people,

there will be no peace in the world.

I know my responsibilities.

What happened to

that stinky woman’s life pillar?

Could it be…due to her inner demon?

It must be like this because of Yu Sifeng.

That old man Siming has a collection

of jade tablets recording the background of all famous beings in the Three Realms.

I will definitely be able to find out

everything there is about Yu Sifeng.

I must hurry.

No way.

How could there be so many?

Greetings, new Palace Chief.

Greetings, new Palace Chief.

Please rise everyone.

Today...

Today...

is one of the most exciting day for the Lize Palace.

The Lize Palace’s new Palace Chief

is the Mosha Star of the Asura clan

and also a 12-feathers red-golden bird.

Who is a match for him?

From now on

We, the Lize Palace

no longer need to cower among the mortals

and will not be bullied by those in the Three Realms.

Let us follow the Chief

and wipe out all of the cultivating sects.

Massacre the Three Realms

and take back everything we lost.

Take them back. Take them back!

I trust you Chief you will not disappoint us.

Both the demon and devil clans must be united to succeed.

I’ve also invited the other demon clans today.

Elder Luo.

Yes.

Invite all of the superintendents.

Yes.

Summon all the Tianxu Sect’s superintendents.

As the devils have returned then our allegiance will never change

we will carry out our obligation to the Mosha Star

and obey to your orders.

Good.

You may all rise.

Yuan Lang established the Tianxu Sect.

Now I plan to unite both.

do you have any objection Right Minister?

I established the Tianxu Sect for the Mosha Star.

Now it has fulfilled its purpose

I will only have joy.

That is for the best then.

Now I’m the leader.

Then of course we have to do some cleaning.

Ruo Yu from Lize Palace...

once disregarded our friendship and attempted to murder me.

Wu Tong from Tianxu Sect

was abandoned by the cultivating sects

and took refuge with us demons.

But he used us

to avenge himself and caused the unnecessary fatality of innocent demons.

Morality and honor are of great importance to us demons.

We do not tolerate harming of our own kind.

The two of them have always followed Right Minister’s orders.

I wonder if they behaved in this way

due to your orders?

I’m sorry I was completely

unaware of their actions.

We demons have always been united

how can I forgive them for this?

You two prepare for your execution!

You’ve shown me your loyalty to the demons.

These two are still useful to me.

Elder Feng,

take them to the water dungeon.

Yes.

Guards!

Let go of me!

I am not a demon.

Why should I follow the rules of demons?

I quit!

As I did not allow you to leave

then you are not allowed to leave.

Wu Tong...

you have chosen this path.

You must pay for

the crimes you committed

and the debt you owed.

Arrest him.

My sister!

Now that’s settled

I’m slightly relieved.

However I’m still concerned about something else.

Does anyone know what it is?

Chief you now have the absolute power.

All demons bow their heads down to you.

What still concerns you, Chief?

I found out from Elder Xingxiu,

the stars Luohou

and Jidu

their connection has grown stronger.

Now is the best time to merge my stellar soul and my body.

We should waste no more time to save Wu Zhiqi.

I already discussed it with the Right Minister.

He thinks

we should wait for the gate of the City of Flames to open during the full moon

and then enter the Devil’s Capital and release our Left Minister Wu Zhiqi.

However

the cultivating sects

are also waiting for that time to stop our plan.

Why is it not better to leave right away

and catch them off guard?

How does that sound to everyone?

Yes!

Very well.

Since everyone’s in agreement

please retrieve the spiritual keys and hand them over

so I can leave for the Devil’s Capital right away.

-Umm... -Report!

Chief!

The God of War has led the Shaoyang Sect, Fuyu Island and Dianjing Valley’s disciples

to besiege the Lize Palace.

They are attempting to break our barrier.

Chief.

Today all Lize Palace disciples are present

and so are the demons.

Let me lead our men

to annihilate them.

The Lize Palace disciples are

still injured from the last battle.

They need more time to recover.

We should avoid direct confrontation.

Three Elders

take your own disciples

and meet them outside of our barrier.

Everyone else, wait for my orders.

Finally the Lize Palace are out.

My elders, what are you here for?

Yu Sifeng...

You wish to annihilate the cultivating sects.

We would never grant you that wish.

My comrades and I are unafraid for the Three Realms.

We come here today

to completely halt you in your greed to get the Crystal Lamp!

I did not send this declaration of war.

But...

you cultivating sects have always been full of yourselves.

You say you are protecting the world.

But in the end you never have the capability to obliterate the demons.

Did you all forget

how Xuanyuan Sect got exterminated overnight

and how Fuyu Island got engulfed by fire

and all of the bloodshed that occurred at the Dianjing Valley?

How long can Shaoyang last?

Even if all of you attack together,

you can’t break the barrier outside Lize Palace.

If you know your position then you should retreat now.

Think about what’s more important.

The Crystal Lamp or your own lives.

Yu Sifeng!

I’m asking you two questions.

Are you really the Mosha Star?

Have you really been lying to me?

Don’t you already know?

You promised to kill all demons and break all ties with me.

You are the God of War and I’m the Mosha Star.

We walk two distinct paths.

It’s as you wish.

Why bother asking again?

Chu Xuanji, do you know?

Lying

is an exhausting thing to do.

Who am I, Chu Xuanji, to deserve such honor

of making you spend so much effort

to scheme against?

Devil.

The General God of War was matched with Sect Leader Hao Chen by Heaven.

Their wedding is already scheduled.

Stop dreaming.

You and I are destined enemies.

It’s better to settle it in battle now.

Yu Sifeng...

Draw your sword.

Cultivating sects...

you say you cherish all lives

then don’t start pointless wars.

Why don’t we limit the fight

to just you and I?

Xuanji!

Be careful of his deception!

Father once told me

to catch bandits, first catch the ringleader.

Don’t hurt the innocent.

Everyone, stay out of this fight.

I will take him down.

Listen up all Lize Palace disciples

stay and watch the fight.

Without my order

you are forbidden to fight.

That is the weird vessel Yuan Lang is cultivating.

What does he plan to do with it?

Continue your fight, the General God of War.

I’ve cast the spell in front of Lize Palace long ago.

It can be triggered by the defense barrier’s energy.

I only need to wait

for the best chance to absorb

all of your God of War powers for myself.

Are you really marrying your senior brother?

Why do you care if it’s real or not?

I came today

to settle the blood debt left at the Shaoyang Sect.

It seems you General God of War

has truly cut off our ties very firmly.

But I will not lose

our battle today.

A great chance.

Come on God of War.

The barrier is broken?
