[The Blood of Youth]

[Episode 23]

Will you wake up

or continue

to live within this dream?

I want to live

in a world where you'll never leave.

I've been waiting for this day

for ages.

You fool.

I am already dead.

I can never come back

to the living world.

Life is but a dream.

You're only awake after death.

We will meet again someday.

But today is not the day.

It's time you wake up.

No.

I don't want to wake up.

After drinking the Oblivion Broth,

I'll forget everything

about this dream.

And it will be a new beginning for you.

Wouldn't that be nice?

I used to think the same thing.

But when I saw you again,

I want to stay in this dream.

It doesn't matter

if the world

has Baili Dongjun

in it.

Do not be stubborn.

Life

is but a dream.

Death

is the true awakening.

I hope

you don't have any regrets.

Why would you tell me not to have regrets?

Do you have any idea

how long I've spent in regret?

I still remember it.

How?

I remember everything.

Could it be

that the legend was false?

Master.

Master?

Tang Lian?

How did you know

how to get here?

The Third Master told me the way.

Master.

There's a pressing matter.

Xiao Se and the others might be in danger.

Xiao Se?

Is he

Xiao Chuhe who came to

Xueyue City the other day?

Yes.

He wanted to heal his damaged meridians.

Yes.

But Mo Yi...

Mo Yi went berserk.

He's reached the Malevolence Phase.

I wanted to exorcise him,

but he

tricked me into drinking

the Oblivion Broth.

He went berserk?

We must rush there

immediately.

Xiao Se,

Qianluo,

Lei Wujie from the Lei Fortress,

and Ye Ruoyi, General Ye's daughter,

are all out there.

Do you even know

what this place is?

The bunch of you

shouldn't have come.

I was reckless.

Master!

Whose doing is this?

Mo Yi?

Yes.

A bunch of rocks

was enough to stop you.

What a worthless fool.

Yes, I've failed you.

You have the mind of a rock.

You can't take a joke.

Stop staring.

Get moving.

Lian!

Have you found them?

No.

Time's up.

I'm here for what I seek.

What do you seek?

You.

Me?

Yes.

Form the formation!

The Three-Element Formation.

It's no wonder your aura

felt so familiar.

You're a disciple of Mount Huanglong.

Your body shouldn't be fit

to master spiritual arts.

Purify!

Exorcise!

Demise!

Token of Celestial Masters.

Of the entire Mount Huanglong,

my marital brother, Qi, is the only one

with this level of might,

barring only my master and me.

Are you Qi's disciple?

These three haven't mastered the art of Tao.

You're the only one

holding this Three-Element Formation.

Let's see how much longer you can hold on.

You stand before an immortal,

kneel!

Ruoyi!

Ruoyi!

He forced himself to enter the Insouciant Phase.

Ruoyi!

You did well,

but not well enough.

What is it that you want?

You'll find out soon enough.

Ruoyi!

Cease!

Ruoyi!

Ruoyi.

Baili Dongjun.

Mr. Mo Yi.

Ruoyi, are you all right?

Master Baili arrived in time.

Master is as powerful

as an immortal.

Has he reached another phase?

The Unbeatable Phase.

I saved you from your demise last time,

and I helped you brew

the Oblivion Broth.

Yet, you've come to ruin my plan.

The dead cannot come back to life.

Mr. Mo Yi,

you seek to use Miss Ye's body

to resurrect your younger sister.

But that is not possible.

You've lost your mind.

Let go of your obsession

before it's too late.

Who do you think you are?

Who are you

to lecture me?

I guess there's no other way.

You've shown me kindness.

So I'll let you make the first move.

You?

You're not worthy of fighting me.

Please.

After that dream,

you've become much stronger.

But you're still not a match for me.

Indeed.

I have a long way to go before I can hope to beat you.

Therefore, I'll need some help

from others.

Lend me your weapons!

City Lord Baili

can control three weapons

simultaneously?

I know all the martial arts in the world.

I can slay

even an immortal!

Supervisor! Supervisor!

There's been an anomaly!

Please take a look now!

I've seen it.

Supervisor.

Such an anomaly is unprecedented.

It was daytime,

but the sun faded away,

and the sky became lit with stars.

There's no record

of such a phenomenon.

Yes, there is.

In the last chapter of the Scroll of Guluo,

the Verse of Annihilation.

Stars shine in the sky along with the sun.

An immortal descends to the mortal realm.

Heaven is shattered and Earth is razed.

The Scroll of Guluo?

Supervisor.

That was a forgery.

It's false because it tells

the secrets of fate.

It's too late.

Form the formation.

Formation?

What formation?

Dragon Seeker Formation.

I must see him.

Supervisor.

Do you know the cause of this anomaly?

Yes.

Master.

Eldest Martial Uncle.

Stand back.

It's a tough fight.

After you leave,

finish the Oblivion Broth.

It'll keep you alive.

Run!

Go.

Let's go.

Let's go.

Ruoyi!

Who is he?

Supervisor of Astronomy,

Qi Tianchen.

Your Highness.

How have you been?

It's been years.

You are still as humorous

as ever.

Has he reached

the Unbeatable Phase too?

I'm not as powerful as City Lord Baili.

I haven't reached

the Unbeatable Phase.

I manage

to project my spirit here

with the power

of the Dragon Seeker Formation.

Yi.

It's been years.

Tianchen.

Things have changed since we last met.

I am an old man

with gray hair.

But you?

You haven't aged a day at all!

I'm glad to know

you're still alive.

However,

as the heir of Mount Huanglong,

you've strayed from the righteous path.

That is a grave mistake.

Well?

Are you going to stand in my way too?

You and I are no longer

on the same level.

How are you supposed to stop me?

Kneel!

Very well.

I'll give you a head-start of three strikes.

This is for saving me.

If you hadn't looked back

that day,

I would have died.

Kneel!

This is for our sect.

Without Mount Huanglong,

I wouldn't be here.

Kneel!

This is for the bond we shared.

He took three hits from you, State Preceptor.

But there's not a scratch on him.

Are we even strong enough

to bring him down?

We need one more warrior for this.

Who is it?

You learned from the academy, a descendant of Confucianism.

I learned the way of Tao, a state preceptor.

We need an exorcist

to be truly unbeatable.

Since we are one man short,

we'll have to give it our best.

Our chances are slim.

When I took on Ye Dingzhi

all alone,

the entire world

thought my chances were slim.

Very well.

I shall open a path for City Lord Baili!

What is that punch?

It's not a punch.

It's swordplay.

The legs are the grip.

The body is the blade.

The fists are the hilt.

The fingers are the point.

They use their bodies as swords.

I can do nothing but watch

this incredible duel.

Unless you've reached

the Insouciant Phase,

you're incapable of interfering.

The Insouciant Phase...

Lei Wujie.

Your body

is too weak to take on the Insouciant Phase.

If you enter the phase by force again,

you die.

You heard

what Supervisor said just now.

They need an exorcist

to become unbeatable.

Don't you remember?

I'd learned the technique.

Even now, I still follow his instructions.

(The technique I'm about to teach you)

(is the Freedom)

(Formidable Fist.)

I practice it every day.

If I die,

but we win the fight,

Ruoyi,

remember me.

Lei Wujie!

He...

An incredible Exorcising Fist!

You did well.

It's a shame not many

can witness this fight.

Otherwise,

you'd make a name for yourself.

Qianluo.

Do you have any strength left?

Yes.

Toss the spear.

Toss it!

Xiao Se!

The immortal said the saints were unaffected by emotions.

It's to be unaffected by emotions,

not merciless.

You haven't forgotten the obsession,

but you've made yourself merciless.

I am disappointed in you.

Who are you?

I am Mo Yi.

Mo Yi, the immortal.

How are you Mo Yi?

No.

I am Mo Yi.

Xiao Se!

Xiao Se!

City Lord Baili!

Break!

Xiao Se!

Xiao Se!

I am the Liquor Deity of the material world.

The intoxication shall send me to the sky's limit.

I seek not the deities dancing in the wind,

but a drunken deity!

Break!

From now on,

this unparalleled scent shall perish from the world.

Kind sir,

could you spare me some food?

There you go.

Thank you! Thank you so much!

Little girl.

Aren't you starving?

Why don't you eat up?

I am saving it for my older brother.

Little girl, have you

only ever had

one piece of bread?

Am I right?

Little girl.

How could you be so silly?

Why didn't you eat it?

Why did you save it

for your brother?

I just

ate it

without thinking.

Yi.

I'll only be a drag on you.

I want you to live.

I want you to live on.

Yi.

You look different now.

You look like a deity.

Yi!

I will always be with you.

I'll never leave you.

The last bit of Oblivion Broth

has been used up.

Your time is running out.

Whatever.

Such is my fate.

Who knows how long the Oblivion Broth

can stall him?

Xiao Se.

You should leave.

Xiao Se!

If he wakes up,

I'll stop him for you.

No!

We're not leaving without you.

Yes.

Go to Tianqi for me.

Tell them

I won't be going back.

But I don't regret my decision.

He woke up instantly.

Do you want me to save you?

Yes.

But I won't beg for your help.

How honorable.

-Xiao Se! -Xiao Se!

Lei Wujie!

After them.

Does it mean

the Dragon Seeker Formation is broken?

There is no way

it could have been broken with the Supervisor inside!

Supervisor!

Supervisor!

What is happening?

We must leave the rest

to Xueyue City now.

To think it was a girl

who wounded you.

A girl?

Your hidden pulse contains

the energy of extreme yin.

When you use your strength,

this inner force of extreme yin

will run amok inside you,

causing your inner injury to flare up.

There is only one way to save you.

You must forsake your inner force

and the yin energy

all at once.

From there on,

you will lose

all your martial art mastery.

But you can train to regain your strength.

You can muster your inner force again.

If you have the will,

it's a matter of time

before you reach your prime again.

My inner strength

can keep your meridian from dying.

It's enough to make a fine warrior out of you.

You shall slowly build up

your inner strength over time.

It shall

slowly dissipate bit by bit.

Why did you save me?

I went astray.

You saved me.

It's only right to return the favor.

Not to mention you are full of potential.

I have the technique to slay a dragon.

It's only natural

for me to cherish a fellow talent.

Much thanks.

One more palm to go.

Can you take it?

I'm willing to accept your knowledge.

Where is Xiao Se?

I've cured your beloved one.

He is upstairs.

Take care of him.

Put her down.

Take it easy.

Ruoyi.

Lyu'er. (*green)

Lyu'er

was your sister?

Yes.

She was my only sister.

You two look very much alike.

She would have looked just like you

had she

had the chance to grow up.

Unfortunately,

she didn't get the chance.

I didn't manage to save Lyu'er.

Today, I shall not make the same mistake.

I gave you a strand of my zhenqi.

It protected your heart meridian.

As long as you don't suffer from severe inner injury,

you can live

a normal life.

Why did you help me?

Perhaps,

it's because of your outfit.

Your body is still weak.

You need rest.

Miss Ye.

You should get some rest.

Lei Wujie.

Baili.

I have a favor to ask.

Ask away.

I was trapped by my obsession for years.

I've never taken a good rest.

It's time for me to do so.

I shall visit the human world when I'm awake again.

Are you willing

to be my guard?

It'll be an honor.

Master.

How long are you going to guard him?

Ten years

or even longer.

I have nothing better to do anyway.

I might as well enjoy the view.

I'm not about to leave just yet.

Are you leaving Xueyue City for good?

We have Qianluo's father in charge.

Are you leaving me too?

I'm not

your only master.

Well...

The glorious days

of Xueyue City are behind us.

But if you return to Beili,

all problems can be solved.

Why can't you resolve them

without me?

You were the legendary hero

of Beili.

Xueyue City is surrounded by enemies.

The Second City Lord

might be away.

The Third City Lord is left all alone.

Things won't be easy for him.

What?

I have to save

Beili again

just because I saved it 13 years ago?

Sikong Changfeng is in charge of Xueyue City.

As for the other problems,

it's your turn

to deal with them.

Us?

Yes.

The path you're about to take

will be different from mine.

You know the true identity

of Xiao.

Tang Lianyue

must have told you your true identity.

The Imperial Court is just perilous as the martial arts world.

The line between good and evil is very fine.

The stance comes first.

You must be cautious.

But Master...

All right.

Enough excuses.

What more do you want to say?

By the way,

after you got drunk yesterday,

you said a name.

"Yueyao."

Who is she?

She was my wife.

Your wife?

My disciple,

someday

we'll meet again.

Do not let me down.

Yes.

See you around.

[Lord Bai's Residence]

The annual ceremony is tomorrow.

Your Highness,

it's time to rest.

Zang Ming.

Do you think my father

will write his name down?

I think

that is possible.

But I think

that's not possible.

Why is that, Your Highness?

Because he hasn't

truly returned.

If his name

was written before his return,

the obstacles he'd face

would be terrifying.

If Father loves him,

he will not

put him in harm's way.

But when His Majesty

exiled Xiao Chuhe,

his safety

wasn't a concern.

Who can say for sure the exile

wasn't meant to keep him safe?

You should know

the most perilous place on earth

is Tianqi City.

Your Highness

will stand out the most

in the ceremony tomorrow.

The yellow scroll

can outshine me anytime.

It will have

everyone's attention tomorrow.

Any news from the palace?

No.

That old geezer.

He's not revealing

the Dragon Seal Scroll

until the very end.

The scroll

doesn't matter anymore.

The selection of the next crown prince is tied to the fate of the nation.

His Majesty wouldn't appoint a blind man.

See?

Even you get it,

but Chong doesn't.

He is Father's pawn

to balance the situation.

I used his hands

to get rid of Xiao Chuhe.

Then, Father got rid of

this expandable pawn.

Then, I'm the only one left

in the game.

Maybe the Second Prince

doesn't want to believe it.

Why should I care what he believes?

Tomorrow is inevitable.

You came out for the breeze

as soon as you recovered.

The wind is strong on the sea.

Why do you need a fan?

The wind on the sea smells fishy.

My fan

gives out the fragrance of sandalwood.

Take a sniff.

Never mind.

Save it for yourself.

Any plan after going back?

I'll return to Xueyue City.

Beauty of Four Seasons.

It sounds like a nice place.

I heard the Spear Deity, Master Sikong,

was a direct disciple of the Medicine King.

Correct.

The ceremony is today.

Rumor has it His Majesty

will write down the name of the next crown prince

on the Dragon Seal Scroll.

Not my concern.

I've never thought about becoming an emperor.

What's so funny?

To the Mu family

of Qingzhou,

I've always been the outlier.

Do you know why?

I do.

You study medicine instead of business.

That's one of the reasons.

I have an older brother

who got sick.

He might never become a father.

Therefore,

I am next in line to be the family head.

But that's not who I want to be.

I want to cure my brother.

If I can cure him,

he will certainly be the next head of the family.

In the eyes of the folks in Qingzhou,

I'm a fool.

If someone is rich

without empathy,

what good can he be?

The folks in Qingzhou

are the real fools.

My grandfather told me

to find the sword

he had forged, the Mountains Mover,

and its wielder.

When I'm home,

I'll tell him

it's in the hands

of someone worthy of it.

Many tried to stop me

from going on this voyage.

I told them,

"Even the rats care about their skin, so how can a man live without honor?

What is life without honor?"

They think I've gone mad from all the reading.

But they are the fools.

When a person dies,

they take nothing with them.

But bonds

shall remain in the world.

They couldn't even tell

which was

more important to them.

So, I left Qingzhou.

I left those people.

It was a pleasure

meeting you.

I think

we are the same kind of people.

What kind

of people are we?

Young people.

Young people?

We are all young people.

We do not despair after a defeat,

and we are proud of our victories.

We have swords in our hands

and will in our hearts.

The vastness of the sea gives birth to our heroic qualities.

The blooming blossoms

make us show the world our joy.

The path ahead is perilous, but we shall not falter.

The company of friends calls for a toast to heaven.

Laugh when you feel like it.

Berate when you're upset.

There are endless paths to take,

but always follow your heart

and stay true to yourself.

And more importantly,

we share one thing in common.

What is it?

We are all good-looking.

Those with good looks

are the young.

Those without good looks

are youngsters.

Qianluo,

why didn't you look at me?

Because you're a youngster.

Me?

Am I that ugly?
