~ Episode 22 ~

Elder,

Bai Ze and the others have already been locked up in prison.

But... may Elder reconsider old relationships

and let A Ji Ya go.

A sect traitor not mending her ways.

She should have been executed to begin with

or else it is a disrespect to the Three Gods of Illumination.

I can use my life to guarantee that A Ji Ya didn't betray the sect!

It is not you who decides if she betrayed the sect or not.

As long as Elder can let A Ji Ya go,

I am willing to do anything.

May Elder allow it.

The Illuminati has always been a grand sect of the mortal world for hundreds of years.

Do you know why it ended up to this current state?

It was all the Emperor's fault.

Right now, in your heart, you probably understand well

that the legend about the Magic Stars has already come true.

Such items with invincible might should belong to the Illuminati in the first place.

To reestablish the Heavenly might of our Three Gods of Illumination.

But how about A Ji Ya?

She refused the task of gathering the Magic Stars for the Three Gods of Illumination.

Yes. I was negligent in my duty.

Negligent?

Just begging Elder to consider that A Ji Ya is still very young--

Very young?

When she had her first kill, you still weren't her equal.

Gong Zi Xu, rather than trying to help her fulfill her wish,

why don't you think first on how to save yourself.

As long as Elder agrees to let A Ji Ya go,

I am willing to take A Ji Ya away from here and never to return again.

Gong Zi Xu,

are you currently bargaining with me?

From your looks, you've already decided to go against me.

You can't be like before as a dog listening to my orders anymore.

Fine.

This day will come sooner or later.

Then today, I'll send you to the Bestow Punishment Prison to feed Metal Armor.

How about it?

Scared already?

Then go back to A Ji Ya's side and get some useful information.

After all, for the cold and heartless A Ji Ya,

you're still valuable.

As long as I charge into Bestow Punishment Prison,

you will let A Ji Ya go, is that it?

It's not to charge into but to break through it.

Okay.

Metal Armor is heartless. I initially planned to give you a chance to survive

and also want to give A Ji Ya a survival chance.

But you won't choose it so I can't do anything about it either.

The most terrible thing in this world is that there is no medicine to undo regrets.

- Open the door! - Open the door! Hey!

Open the door! Is there anyone?!

You move back.

Do you two plan to forcefully enter the sacred place of the Illuminati?

We want to see Elder Jiong Ye.

He is not someone you can see just because you want to.

Put down your sword.

Put down your sword!

Prepare to shoot the arrows!

Wait!

I'll put it down then. Who's afraid of who?

For situations like this, I've already seen a lot of them.

Here. Help me hold this sword.

What?

Are you going to invite me for tea?

Take them down!

Mister Zi Xu, you're on your own.

Let's go.

A Ji Ya, I indeed wasn't the destined person to save you.

Lord!

He Cao, why did you come in here?

I saw that Mister entered.

I then also secretly followed your entrance.

You really are something.

Mister, let's go.

If later he climbs up again, we will be in big trouble.

- Let's go. - Go.

Elder Jiong Ye.

A Ji Ya, you're awake.

You are indeed Elder Jiong Ye.

No need for formalities.

I looked for a long time before I was able to find you.

You most likely already knew about it in these few days.

In the past years that you left, I developed a mental illness.

Good thing that Heaven has eyes.

A Ji Ya respectfully greets Teacher.

Don't move. Don't move.

- Respectfully greeting Teacher. - Don't move.

Your injuries were quite severe.

Teacher, I already found the people who killed my father.

Then do you still hate them?

I still can't take you out of here for now.

This place is safer than outside.

For the matters about the Illuminati, I'll make Zhao Ran pay for them.

Teacher, this incense...

The fragrance inside the scent cauldron is helpful to calm your nerves.

Just rest here for now.

Men!

Teacher, then about the Magic Star that I left in your care...

Child, you must believe the there is still light.

It's just that it got buried by darkness for now.

And the Magic Stars, they don't belong in the mortal world.

Teacher!

Teacher...

It was all your fault.

Why must you slash some door?

It's really great now. We got locked up in here.

You tell me what to do now.

How will I be able to save my father now?

A Ji Ya?

- What are you doing? - Elder Zhao Ran has orders

that whoever enters the Bestow Punishment Prison without permission will be killed regardless.

Attack!

Let's go!

What do we do? How are we going to face A Ji Ya now?

How will I know?

Say, would she throw a dagger and kill us?

She probably wouldn't.

But your father and my father connived to kill her father.

Do you need to point that out?

But isn't that the truth?

How about we just go over there and apologize to her?

If apologizing is useful, then what's the use of government officials?

Then let's not apologize anymore.

If one does something wrong, one should still apologize.

Let's go. Let's go. Let's go apologize.

That...

- A Ji Ya... - A Ji Ya...

- A Ji Ya, sorry. - Sorry.

Say it. What do you want us to do?

As long as you become happy, we can do anything.

Right. Right. Right. Anything is fine.

Tell us.

Can you return my father and mother back to me?

Or can you give me back the childhood years that I originally should have experienced?

Can you kill yourself to pay for your crimes?

Can't do it? What nonsense are you two still spouting here?

A Ji Ya, you've changed.

You were not like this before.

I followed you all initially because I had a motive.

I only did it for the Magic Stars.

That's why you had to fool our feelings?!

Tell me. Where are the remaining Magic Stars kept?

You already searched us.

We don't have the thing that you want.

Do you want us to use torture on you two?!

Ah Ning!

Then...

May I ask you to help me look at this?

For this, I'm afraid that I have to disappoint you.

I really can't read it.

Hey! Hey!

Is it because I am too kind, is that it?

I really can't read it.

Wait!

The Magic Star was stolen by A Ji Ya.

After you saying that, you kind of reminded me.

Although A Ji Ya will not easily tell me where she stored the Magic Star,

but exchanging your lives with it,

I think... maybe there is hope.

- Men! - Here.

- Bring A Ji Ya here. - Yes!

Yuan Shuai, why did you tell them that?

Then let's talk about something that's outside the topic.

Do you feel honored that you are the descendant of the Heaven Strategy Envoys?

Of course.

Working for the Emperor is naturally honorable.

Working for the Emperor?

What a good 'working for the Emperor'.

That's right.

The Heaven Strategy Envoys are the running dogs of the Emperor

who did so many shameful deeds.

Upon turning their face, wearing a sacred light on their heads (working under the Emperor), they now become heroes?

What a joke!

The world now is in turmoil.

That is because the Emperor wanted to destroy my Illuminati!

Whether people will degenerate once they lose the Illuminati that I don't know,

but the Illuminati will surely degenerate into an evil sect that kills and eats people.

Elder Jiong Ye?

I really never thought that you could still be fully awake.

You were still able to cure yourself from a Phoenix Fire poison that has been cursed.

Impressive. Impressive.

Why must you tell A Ji Ya her real identity?

We didn't tell her when she was little

because it would make A Ji Ya peacefully stay in the Illuminati and serve us.

But right now...

Why are you being agitated by it?

Because... I am the Zhan Ke, a previous Heaven Strategy Envoy.

Zhan Ke?!

Zhan Ke?!

I'm afraid that Elder Zhao Ran must be looking for us all over to arrest us.

He Cao, don't worry.

We will get out.

But... we have already went against the rules of going around the labyrinth.

I'm afraid that we have never been to these places.

There might be fatal danger.

He Cao, when you went into the Bestow Punishment Prison with me, you didn't look this afraid.

As long as I am with Mister, I'm not afraid of dying.

Sorry.

Because of A Ji Ya's matter, I also brought you danger.

I really feel so guilty about it.

Mister, these all are things that I should do.

He Cao,

do you believe in fate.

In your life,

for whom do you live,

for whom do you die,

maybe... all are destined.

Good.

Then, that means when you joined the Illuminati,

you didn't tell the truth.

You destroyed A Yi Ya.

You almost destroyed me, too.

Now do you even want to ruin the Illuminati?

Bai Ze, you already had this demeanor at such a young age.

Your father's spirit can rest in peace.

Bai Ze, hurry up and leave.

It's very dangerous here.

When you started practicing evil techniques,

I should have killed you then.

That's right.

But you won't be able to kill me.

The magical techniques of the Pitch Black Blood Scriptures are indeed a bit cruel,

but the effects are not quite bad.

Just for a white skin,

you really are totally shameless.

Pitch Black Blood Scriptures?

What is this place?

Mister, this is...

What is Elder Zhao Ran really doing with them?

He Cao, let's hurry and leave this place.

Then what about these children?!

Let's not mind them for now. Let's deal with them in the future.

Let's go!

Before, I considered the fact that you were a disciple of the Illuminati so I spared your life.

Right now, since you are a Heaven Strategy Envoy that sneaked into my Illuminati,

what's the use of leaving you alive?

Tell me. Where did that very stubborn A Ji Ya

hide the Magic Star?!

If you want the Magic Star, you should spend some effort.

Elder! Elder!

- Hey! - Ah Ning, let us go. We'll then tell you where the Magic Star is.

Elder Zhao Ran wants to see you.

- Has he fainted? - He has fainted.

He has fainted, fainted.

- A Ji Ya. - A Ji Ya.

Where are you going, A Ji Ya?

A Ji Ya!

What do we do now?

It's this one.

Let's go.

Let's go now.

The exit is there. Where are you going?

You already said that my father and your father killed her father.

We better just go over there and help A Ji Ya out.

- Okay. - Let's go.

Let's go now.

Go to the meditation room first to look.

- Yes. - Don't let Elder Jiong Ye come near it. -Yes.

Thousand Returns Door.

A Ji Ya.

Teacher.

You have escaped?

Hurry and leave this place.

This place is very dangerous.

Teacher, I still can't leave.

I still have to look for the Star Chart.

I still have to find the Magic Stars.

I still have to...

seek revenge.

Teacher, it's not that I don't want to go.

It's just that I don't know how to go.

I can't go on anymore.

Do I really need to kill the friends that have gone through hardships with me?

Or do I throw away this hatred

and let myself regret it forever?

A Ji Ya, I taught you martial arts and how to be a person.

You are the most intelligent among my disciples.

You have followed me for so many years. I know that you are a person who hates evil.

Hesitating isn't your personality.

And you are hesitating too much this time.

Actually, the one you should ask isn't me

but it's your own heart.

Teacher, my heart is such a mess.

I can't make heads or tails about it.

Right now, you only have one path.

Kill the people you want to kill.

Aren't there any other choices?

When you asked this question, you actually already had an answer.

Child, actually your heart knows what to do.

For the rest, it is actually how you can convince yourself to accept this answer.

Kill, I can't bear to.

Not kill, I can't pacify my will, either.

In this world, the heirloom that shouldn't be inherited the most is hatred.

A Ji Ya, release yourself from the sea of pain.

Stop tormenting yourself.

Respect your heart's choice, okay?

I don't have time to send you out of here anymore.

I believe that it won't be hard for you to get out of this labyrinth.

Don't look for the Magic Stars anymore.

I only want to see you all live well.

Understand?

Teacher, where are you going?

I still have a more important thing to do.

Hurry and leave this place.

Teacher!

Timing and Subtitles brought to you by The Magic Stars Team @ Viki.com

Get in.

Don't move.

I haven't killed before.

Hurry and tell us. How do we go to the Three Sacred Palaces?

Are you sure?

Let's go.

Take them all away!

Yes.

A Ji Ya!

What a coincidence.

A Ji Ya, I really am impressed with your skills.

Zi Su.

- Older Bro Fei! - You are indeed here.

A Ji Ya, did you see my father?

He's also Elder Jiong Ye.

Jiong Ye? He is your father?!

That's right.

Stop thinking about those familial grudges that have been tormenting you every day.

In this world, the heirloom that shouldn't be inherited the most is hatred.

All of you are liars.

Zi Su!

A Ji Ya, what are you doing?!

A Ji Ya, do you really have to be this ruthless?

Arrest them all!

Yes!

Xiong Fei!

Attack.

Be careful!

Stop pestering with them already! Hurry and go!

Okay!

Let's go.

A Ji Ya, slower.

- A Ji Ya, don't run! - A Ji Ya!

- A Ji Ya! - A Ji Ya! - A Ji Ya! Don't run!

- A Ji Ya! - A Ji Ya!

A Ji Ya, go slower.

- Don't run anymore! - A Ji Ya, don't run!

Stop following me anymore.

Although I can't kill you right now,

there will come a day that I'll kill you hypocrites.

A Ji Ya, have you had enough?!

A Ji Ya...

What happened to you?

I just came from the Bestow Punishment Prison.

Why did you go there?

Who forced you to go there?

Elder Zhao Ran said that if Mister wants him to let you go,

he must break through the Bestow Punishment Prison.

Elder Zhao Ran is indeed evil.

He is using young children to practice evil techniques.

I already saw that legendary Pitch Black Blood Scriptures.

A Ji Ya, I have been such a coward before.

I believed his words too much.

This time, I will take you out of here.

Let's leave together.

Let's go.

I'm afraid that I can't leave this place alive.

Don't say that.

A Ji Ya, this time, I definitely won't separate with you.

Don't worry.

No matter what happens, I will stand by your side.

Hey, you two, that's more or less enough.

Let's first escape out of here.

You all should pay a price for my family.

Even if it's just for that, my death will be worth it.

A Ji Ya, haven't you had enough yet?

Initially, there were some words that I didn't want to say.

But right now, I have no choice but to say them!

A Ji Ya, you go ask your conscience.

Do you feel that all of us are evil people?

What do you want to say?

You keep saying that you want to kill us.

Then let me ask you,

if King Salin really did wicked things that's beyond redemption,

if he really deserved to die,

then will you still seek revenge?

A Ji Ya, do you really know the truth?

Just based on bits and pieces of recordings that Bai Ze saw,

do you then have to kill this and that?!

Zi Su, forget it.

Don't talk.

A Ji Ya, don't you want to kill us?

You kill then! I am not afraid of you!

Anyway, everything in the past doesn't count.

Kill us then!

Child, actually your heart knows what to do.

For the rest, it is actually how you can convince yourself

to accept this answer.

A Ji Ya, don't bother with them anymore.

Let's just go first.

Go.

Thousand Returns Door.

This is the Thousand Return Door.

Father!

Uncle!

- Father! - Why are you here?

So you're here.

That's great. You're fine.

- That's great. - Child, why did you come back?

Look at what you are saying. I am your son.

The two of us, no matter alive or dead, must stay together.

Hurry and go back.

I'll take care of Zhao Ran's matter by my own.

Father...are you planning to...die with him?!

Teacher.

Are you like them also a Heaven Strategy Envoy?

Yes.

A Ji Ya, listen to me.

Do you know what you have done?

I know.

When you brought me from the town to the Illuminati,

you had already known who I am?!

I could recognize the court beads of King Salin.

Then why did you still make me your disciple?

Were you trying to continue insulting me?

No, A Ji Ya.

Why would I do that?

When you ended up wandering the streets,

everyone knew what would eventually happen to you.

I wanted to make up for my mistakes.

I wanted to repay all your lost as much as I could.

You spoiled me, protected me, taught me.

Didn't you think that one day, the truth will come out?

Did you even think about what my feelings now will be?

A Ji Ya, our life is fated.

If fate wants me to kill or protect you,

it's not up to me.

In these 10+ years that we were together day and night,

is there really nothing that was left in your heart?

But all of them have become my nightmares.

My Teacher is actually my greatest enemy.

You kept saying about...

forgetting my hatred?!

All of them are false. You just want to exonerate yourself!

Don't say anything anymore.

You are not my Teacher!

Yo, you're all here.

Tell me where the Magic Star is hidden.

All of you then may not need to die.

The Magic Star is with me.

Magic Star?

Let them all go.

Father, the Magic Star...

A Ji Ya, go now.

I will pay a price for what I have done.

Little Biao Zi, hurry and leave this place.

Listen to father.

Father! What are you saying?

Zhao Ran, if you want the Magic Star...

get it yourself.

Father!

Father!

Three Gods of Illumination, I, disciple Jiong Ye, never thought that

I will be the one who will destroy the Guanming Labyrinth.

As the Illuminati Elder,

being unable to spread the favor of the Illuminati,

I am embarrassed to face you, Three Gods of Illumination.

Just let me clean the sect on behalf of the Illuminati.

Let Elder Zhao Ran and the Guangming Labyrinth get destroyed all together.

Go.

This way.

Come.

Come.
