Episode 45

Zi Hua.

Drink your medicine.

Where is Little Bone?

Don't worry. She won't die.

I don't know when Xia Zi Xun suddenly showed up,

but she took her away.

Zi Hua.

Zi Hua.

Just what do you want me to do with you?

That girl is a criminal!

She's already caused you to become like this!

Why won't you give up?

I will say that same thing.

She is my disciple.

All that she has done,

let me take responsibility for them all.

Can you bear that responsibility?

I will do my best.

Is it worth it?

There is only should or should not, not worth it or not.

What do we do if her return causes harm to the world?

Senior Brother, you don't have to worry about that.

When that happens, I will destroy her myself.

She is my disciple. She should be my responsibility.

Outsiders don't need to interfere.

I still don't feel like I am wrong.

I just hate myself for mistakenly letting her run away!

If I meet her again,

I will definitely find a way to kill her!

Enough!

Go out.

You really shouldn't have returned.

Returning is just a path to death.

Nan Xian Yue isn't the demon god anymore.

Since I have promised you,

how could I let him be executed just like that?

Bones!

Didn't you go to see Tang Bao? Why did you get injured?

I...I went to the Hall of Emotionless.

Then your injury,

is Bai Zi Hua's doing?

It was Honorable Teacher. If Superior Immortal Zi Xun didn't save me,

I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to come back.

If you say that, then Honorable Teacher knows you've come back from the Savage Territories?

We cannot stay here for long. Let's hurry and go. Let's go!

This place... hasn't changed at all.

Yes.

Okay. Let me help you back to your room first.

In a bit I'll help you treat your injury.

Bones,

right now I will try using a golden needle to force out the Great Desolate Energy Force in your body.

I cannot open your seal,

but it's enough to let you use your own power to heal.

It's just, it will be very painful.

If you cannot take it, then tell me to stop at any time.

It's fine. What else is there, in comparison to the Vanquish the Soul Nails,

Sword of Abstain Thoughts, and the water of cutting sentimental emotions, that is more painful?

Okay, Bones.

Try using your power to heal yourself.

How do you feel?

-A lot better.-Good.

I feel like my inner power has been restored a little bit.

But... if my Great Desolate Energy Force is slowly leaking out,

will others be able to sense my presence?

No.

There is someone who's always been with me.

He may be dead now,

but the enchantment that he set has always been protecting the Pavilion of Strange Decay.

Added to the Pavilion of Strange Decay's special magic technique,

even if someone uses Profound Observation, they cannot notice you.

That's right. After you came back from the Savage Territories...

is your body okay?

My body is fine.

It's just a regular internal injury. You don't need to worry.

Heal yourself here in peace.

I'll go cook something for you.

Okay.

These sort of peaceful days are so beautiful.

Yet I destroyed them myself.

Five Senses Exhausted to Death

Bones! It's time to eat!

I could only find these simple ingredients, so I only made these.

It's a far cry from what you made me last time.

Just make yourself eat a little.

Here.

Eat.

What is it? Does it not taste good?

It's not bad tasting. There's just a little too much salt.

I've begun to lose my sense of taste.

I think it's salty too.

I just didn't want to say it.

Is that so?

If you think it's really salty, I'll make you something else.

It's fine. It'll be okay if I eat it with rice.

Bones,

I want to be with you a little more like this.

What is it Bones?

Today, when I fought with Honorable Teacher,

the inner power in my body exploded out once.

But I don't know why

it was Teacher who coughed up blood, as if he is obsessed.

And the more I use my power, the more serious he got.

Dongfang.

Are you still trying to trick me?

Bones. I don't want to trick you.

Then hurry and tell me!

The Great Desolate Energy Force in my body, just who sealed it?

Was it really Big Sister Sha?

It wasn't. It was your teacher.

To suppress the Great Desolate Energy Force in your body,

He used his life to create the Devour Blood Seal.

So if you use it, he will feel the repercussions.

What? Teacher?

Really?

It really was Teacher!

It really is him! It really is him!

Teacher!

-Bones, calm down!-Teacher!

Why did I never tell you?

I was just afraid that you'd feel even worse and blame yourself more!

Ever since Zhu Ran told me

that my body had the Great Desolate Energy Force,

I couldn't figure out

that if Little Moon gave the power to me,

how could Teacher not know?

I completely trusted you,

that it was Big Sister Sha's doing!

But... only now do I realize

that I was wrong!

I've been wrong all along!

Why did Teacher do that?

Why did he do that???

I feel that it is impossible too.

I don't understand why he had to do that either!

I originally thought that he would treat you fairly.

But in the end, he did something behind all the sect's backs.

I originally thought that he had promised to give everyone answer!

But in the end, he'd rather let himself suffer to protect you.

And then,

when I thought that all that you sacrificed had gotten paid back,

he destroyed your immortal body!

He pierced your tendons and ruined your face, exiling you to the Savage Territories!

I really don't understand just what he is thinking!

He just keep saying,

that wrong is wrong.

But in the end?

Teacher may be cold to people,

but he's always been good to me!

Giving me a heavy punishment,

is just to make me change for the better!

Exiling me to the Savage Territories,

it's probably because he knows what I am thinking!

Not wanting to see me,

not wanting to see me, is just to keep the demon god from appearing!

And to destroy the world!

Bones!

Teacher had to protect me on one side,

and had to keep the sects in mind on the other side.

He would rather become a criminal,

then let me sacrifice in vain!

Why wasn't I the one poisoned by the Divine Cauldron?

If I was just finished off,

then Teacher wouldn't have to be like this!

Why let me live like this?

Bones! Stop blaming yourself, okay?

I just want to let Teacher be alive and well!

But I never thought that I would push him to such a wretched state!

Do I deserve to die?

- Do I deserve to die??-You don't deserve to die!

Or else all that your Teacher and Little Moon did would have been in vain!

Your teacher hasn't even given up on you yet.

Why must you give up on yourself?

You can't.

Didn’t you say you are exceedingly familiar with Chang Liu?

That you would definitely find Nan Xian Yue's prison?

Chang Liu is afraid that the Seven Murder Faction will interfere.

So they put in extra protection long ago.

I think... Nan Xian Yue has already been transferred out of Chang Liu

and to a different place to be locked up.

Investigate in detail.

The day of the Five Stars as Bright as the Moon is fast approaching.

Before that happens, save Nan Xian Yue.

Nan Xian Yue.

Nan Xian Yue!

Big Sister's Teacher!

Did you sleep well?

I dreamed that Big Sister made me lots of yummy foods!

Big Sister's Teacher, why hasn't she returned yet?

She cannot save you, nor does she have a way to.

Are you afraid of your execution?

No! Big Sister said that dying isn't scary at all!

After I got out, a lot of people would want to catch and kill me!

This may not be my wrong, but others aren't wrong either!

She said that I definitely cannot hate!

If there is hate in my heart, I'll become a demon!

I'm not afraid of death. I don't hate either!

I just... don't want to separate from Big Sister.

Big Sister's Teacher,

can I see Big Sister one last time?

Do you want to know who you were in the past,

and why you were locked in the Void Cave?

So... I have a past?

Everyone has a past.

Your memories were sealed away.

Right now, I will unseal them for you.

You were one the Holy Ruler of the Seven Murder Faction.

After you got broke through the Great Desolate Energy Force, you wanted to rule over all of the six worlds.

Later, you were locked in the Void Cave by the ten deity devices.

So I really am a bad person.

No wonder everyone either wants to kill me,

or they just want to steal my Great Desolate Energy Force.

There was still some time before the Five Stars as Bright as the Moon at that time.

So everyone locked you up,

but were afraid that deity devices couldn't control you,

so they sealed away your memories.

Right now, you can probably remember everything.

Even though now I can remember everything,

but I don't believe anything!

These things,

those killings, I did them all!

Fang Fu,

is just someone at Chang Liu who has the same face as me!

No matter if I used to be the demon god or the Holy Ruler,

now I am just big sister's Nan Xian Yue.

I just want to live on the way big sister taught me.

Or perhaps just die.

What did you say?

Nan Xian Yue isn't the demon god. He transferred the Great Desolate Energy Force to Little Bone.

So on the day of the Five Stars as Bright as the Moon, we cannot execute him.

Senior Brother, why didn't you say so earlier?

But we've clearly investigated thatthere's nothing odd with Little Bone.

That's because when I was in the Void Cave, I used the Devour Blood Seal

to seal off her Great Desolate Energy Force.

You...! How could you do that?

For that traitor,

how could you fail to differentiate between right and wrong??

What do you want to make Chang Liu's reputation?

What do you want to make yourself?

I am too disappointed in you!

I'm sorry, Senior Brother.

It's all my decision, it had nothing to do with others.

When the time comes, I will

take responsibility for everything in front of all the sect leaders.

Oh no! What do we do?

I just regret not killing Hua Qian Gu earlier!

What use is saying that now?

The mistake has already festered.

What we should do is to see if we can fix things.

Or else, based on Senior Brother's personality,

even if other sect leaders won't say it,

he will send himself over to the Monastic Disciple Pavilion to be dealt with!

Besides keeping it a deep secret, what else can we do?

We must immediately execute Nan Xian Yue and then capture Hua Qian Gu!

But Nan Xian Yue isn't the demon god anymore.

And Senior Brother keeps watching over him.

Since he's not willing to let us execute Nan Xian Yue,

he definitely won't hand him over.

And Hua Qian Gu is a demon god.

We definitely aren't her match!

Nan Xian Yue must die!

I have my own way to deal with him.

As for that criminal, I fought with her before.

She seems to have found out about the seal.

For Zi Hua's safety,

Even if she died in front of me she wouldn't open the seal.

I thought that was strange then too.

Qian Gu has given up too much for Senior Brother.

If not for her,

how would Zi Hua have become the way he is today?

But only until today did I understand!

Senior Brother... has taken up so much for Qian Gu.

It's just that Senior Brother loves too much and cares too deeply.

He wants to protect the entire world, guard Chang Liu,

and protect Qian Gu. This is all himself.

All himself...

No one has ever gone to save him.

Teacher. You were looking for me?

Shi Yi. How long have you been with me?

I don't remember anymore.

I only remember that you brought me back here when I was little.

Okay. I want you to do something.

Please give your orders, Teacher.

I want you to tell Tang Bao

that Nan Xian Yue is locked in the Ninth Firmament Pagoda.

Nan Xian Yue... is really locked there?

You don't need to ask so much. You just need to tell her.

T-teacher, you want me to trick Tang Bao?

This is clearly fake news!

Teacher, how could you-?

Hua Qian Gu has already escaped from the Savage Territories.

She will definitely go save Nan Xian Yue.

To find Nan Xian Yue,

she will definitely go ask Tang Bao for help.

Teacher, please punish me!

I cannot do this!

I cannot lie to Tang Bao! I cannot use her either!

If you don't lie to and use her, then she will lie to and use you!

She hasn't!

Hua Qian Gu has already returned from the Savage Territories.

Why did she have to keep it from you? This is clearly tricking you!

And if she didn't know that Hua Qian Gu came back?

Don't say it anymore.

If you finish this task,

I can consider fulfilling your wish.

Or else, all of Hua Qian Gu's fellow criminals,

I will not spare them!

Teacher! How could you-?

Shi Yi.

For Chang Liu, I cannot not do this.

How to choose,

think about it well.

Tang Bao, hurry and look! They're all foods you like!

It's so fragrant, thank you!

Here!

Seeing you happy makes me happy too!

Really? Senior Brother Shi Yi, you should have some too!

Tang Bao.

I'm sorry. I couldn't help Qian Gu.

At the Return Valley, I could only watch

the Door of the Extreme Poor be closed and sealed away.

I don't even know, how Qian Gu belong locked in the Savage Territories,

is doing right now!

I'm sure with Daddy Dongfang with her, she'll definitely be fine!

Looks like, Qian Gu really has returned from the Savage Territories.

And Tang Bao knows too.

That's true!

It's good if Qian Gu isn't here.

If she found out that Nan Xian Yue is locked up in the Ninth Firmament Pagoda,

and was about to be executed,

she'd definitely face danger to go save him!

Bones, this is great!

What is wrong with her face?

When Senior Brother Shi Yi was eating, he accidentally let slip

that Little Moon is locked up in the Ninth Firmament Pagoda!

Ninth Firmament Pagoda?

So it is like this!

No wonder Dongfang couldn't find anything.

Bones, when should we go save him?

Tang Bao, you cannot go.

Why? I'm working hard to cultivate right now!

My magic has improved a lot, I can definitely help you all!

Tang Bao, you've already faced a lot of danger to come tell me this.

Besides,

if Senior Brother Shi Yi comes to block us on Honorable Teacher's orders,

at that time, how are you to face it?

Hurry and go back. Or else others will notice.

This will drag down Senior Brother Shi Yi too.

You don't have to worry about me, I have Dongfang.

Then you and Daddy Dongfang must take care of yourselves!

-You must be safe!-I will.

Then I'm leaving first.

Hurry and go back.

What do I do?

It can't be!

-Honorable Teacher?-Teacher!

You've already gone to see Hua Qian Gu?

Have you told her about where Nan Xian Yue is?

And if I did? I did go see Bones!

Okay! You've done very well.

The Ninth Firmament Pagoda is already set up waiting for her!

What?

You tricked me on purpose?

Teacher!

Why are you going back on your word? Didn't you promise me

that if I did this, you wouldn't be against us being together?

For Chang Liu, for your future,

both she and Hua Qian Gu must die!

Then kill me together with her!

You traitor! Move aside!

If Tang Bao dies, I don't want to live either!

One of you is like this, now two of you are!

Why?

Okay! I will fulfill you two today!

Bones! Where have you been? I couldn't find you anywhere!

Dongfang, I went to see Tang Bao.

She's already found news about Little Moon.

It turns out Little Moon is at the Ninth Firmament Pagoda. I will go save him right now.

But with this trip, I'm afraid I won't return.

Take care of yourself.

How did Tang Bao know something about Nan Xian Yue?

It was Luo Shi Yi who accidentally let it slip out while talking with her.

How can it be such a coincidence?

Tang Bao previously couldn't get any news about Nan Xian Yue.

The minute you show up at Chang Liu, Luo Shi Yi lets it slip.

This is too much of of a coincidence!

The day of the Five Stars as Bright as the Moon is one day away.

Even if it's a trap, I still need to gamble on it.

During these days, I've been consistently scared,

I keep dreaming Little Moon crying in my dreams.

I don't know how much he has suffered.

Since you've decided to go, I'll go with you!

You can't! Dongfang, I cannot drag you in anymore!

How could you say it's dragging me in?

I personally caused the Great Desolate Energy Force to reappear.

So I have to make up for my own wrongdoings.

So, this isn't just your matter.

- Dongfang!-Okay, you don't need to say it anymore.

I definitely won't let you go face danger alone.

Since it's a trap, there is definitely a way to fight back.

Even if you have the Great Desolate Energy Force, you cannot just break straight in.

How can you break through the enchantment without me?

Okay! Then you must promise me,

if I am captured, you must find a way to escape yourself.

Don't face danger to save me.

Our goal is to save Nan Xian Yue, nothing else.

-I am saying if!-There is no if.

Since we have to save him, let's hurry and go.

Tang Bao! Where is Tang Bao?

Tang Bao! Tang Bao!

Tang Bao! Tang Bao!

Hurry and let me out! Where are you, Tang Bao?

Tang Bao! Tang Bao!

Where are you, Tang Bao?

Tang Bao!

-Tang Bao!-Stop yelling, I'm here!

Tang Bao?

Tang Bao! Did you get hurt? Did Teacher make things hard on you?

I didn't get hurt!

Honorable Teacher just locked us up separately!

He didn't make things hard on me!

Tang Bao! It's my fault!

Your doing this makes me too disappointed!

I thought, in this world,

besides Bones and Daddy Dongfang,

the only person I could depend on was you.

But what about you? Why did you have to trick me?

Tang Bao! Teacher used your life to threaten me!

I was afraid that you'd be harmed!

Also, Teacher said, that if I told you the fake news,

he'd let us be together forever!

He wouldn't care about us ever again!

So my brain got muddled for a bit

and went to trick you.

If our happiness is exchanged for with Bones's life,

I'd rather not have it!

Tang Bao! Listen to me!

I don't want to hear!

It's not like you don't know how much Honorable Teacher hates Bones!

He must have set up a severe trap for Bones to fall into.

Luo Shi Yi!

I'm telling you!

If anything happens to Bones,

I'll never forgive you!

Tang Bao! I-!

Tang Bao!

I never thought that I'd come back here again.

If Shou Feng and Big Sister Lu Qiao was here,

that would be great.

Dongfang, what's wrong?

It's nothing.

There isn't even a single guard here!

The Pavilion of Strange Decay didn't get any news about Nan Xian Yue being locked up here.

I suspect Chang Liu arranged a trap.

Wait for me here. I'll go look for some news.

You can't! I cannot let you go alone.

Tomorrow is the Five Stars as Bright as the Moon.

We must quickly save Little Moon.

No matter how difficult it is, I must give it a try.

But Dongfang, you have already helped me so much.

Don't face danger with me anymore.

Have you forgotten what I'm best at?

I don't have deity devices with me right now,

but the since we've been in this Ninth Firmament Pagoda of Sky Mountain once, we can definitely get in again.

If you go in alone, you will die. But with me here,

you might not definitely die.

What have you come for?

I came to tell you that Nan Xian Yue isn't locked up here.

This place is heavily under enchantment, don't bother wasting your strength here.

What?

All the sects are watching Chang Liu. If you want to save him,

you should hurry to Chang Liu Mountain.

Dongfang, let's hurry and go.

The time has come.

It's just a shame,

that I cannot see Big Sister one last time.

I won't let you die.

Little Bone has already returned.

She is also determined to save you.

I have thought a lot during these days.

Everyone wants my Great Desolate Energy Force.

I gave it to Big Sister.

Originally, it was to protect her.

But it caused her to suffer so much.

Honorable Superior, you don't have to make it so hard on yourself.

If it can be exchanged for her safety, I am willing to die!

It's just...

I just hope that you look upon the many years of being her teacher

and have mercy on her.

That you can become good from evil and change to the righteous path,

it already hasn't wasted Little Bone's work for you.

You don't need to think too much about other things. Everything has it's own plan.

How have you been thinking?

As long as you can give up Tang Bao,

I can give you a chance to change for the better.

I won't leave Tang Bao!

Even if you kill me, I will never leave her!

Have you treated all my teachings from so many years as wind passing by your ear?

Just for that traitor's thing,

even if you are kicked out of Chang Liu, you are willing, right?

As long as it's for Tang Bao, I am willing to do anything!

Okay!

Okay. Then I will clean our sect today!

Forget it!

From today on, I, Mo Yan,

do not have a shameful disciple like you!

Take Tang Bao and get lost! Leave Chang Liu!

The farther the better!

Teacher!

Look after yourself.

Teacher! I was not filial!

I cannot take care of you from now on!

Take care of yourself!

Tang Bao! Where are you going?

You've disappointed me too much!

I did keep some secrets from you, but it was all for Bones!

You used my trust for you to trick me!

I have to go find Honorable Superior now! Don't follow me anymore!

Tang Bao!

Honorable Superior! Please save Bones!

Little Bone, you must be okay!

Wait for me!

Your time has come.

What have you done to Honorable Superior and Big Sister?

He is my junior brother, so naturally I won't harm him.

I just sent him away from Chang Liu for now.

As for Hua Qian Gu,

I think she should be dead by now.

To be able to send Honorable Superior away, it can only be to go save Big Sister.

I believe, that with Honorable Superior here,

Big Sister will definitely be okay!

You should care more about yourself!

Come!

Drag him out to Chang Liu's drill grounds!

Execute him when the Five Stars are as Bright as the Moon!

Reporting to Custodian of the Law, Zhu Ran has sent a letter!

Gather all the disciples,

-and come with me to attack Chang Liu!-Yes!

Looks like Dongfang's internal injury is acting up again.

How about we get some rest first?

There's no need.

In a bit there will definitely be a big battle.

You cannot waste power on my body.

How about I send you to the Pavilion of Strange Decay first?

It's too late.

Do you recognize straw coil grass?

Please get some for me.

It can temporarily suppress my injury.

Okay, I'll go look for it right now!

To speak the truth,

I don't know if I should praise Bai Zi Hua for being smart,

or yell at him for being so low.

He clearly could have had a different choice.

But he had to use the Devour Blood Seal to seal away the Great Desolate Energy Force in Bones's body.

I don't even know if he wants to use this to punish himself,

or use his own body as leverage,

to keep Bones from using the Great Desolate Energy Force.

Bai Zi Hua has no requests.

He sees everything more clearly and far reaching than anyone.

That isn't scary.

The scariest thing is that in his world,

there is no love or hate, there is only right and wrong.

If Bones want to suppress her body's Great Desolate Energy Force,

then Nan Xian Yue will be in even more danger!

How is it?

Everyone, Nan Xian Yue has the Great Desolate Energy Force

and has killed multiples! An evil above all evils!

If we don't finish him off, he will become a threat to all the sects

and a danger to all directions!

Today I asked you all to come

precisely to watch Nan Xian Yue be executed!

Tie Nan Xian Yue onto the wood!

Get down.

Little Moon!
