[Episode 35]

Qingkui.

What's on your mind?

Nothing.

It's all my fault.

I landed you guys in this plight

because I was flustered.

Don't say that.

Right now, we're a family.

I wonder what Father

is doing right now.

Once news of this gets out,

the Heavenly Emperor and Void Tyrant

will definitely put him on the spot.

Father has a soft personality.

I'm afraid he will succumb to them.

Qingkui,

Father will definitely

not harm us.

If you don't kill them,

they'll kill us.

They're my tribesmen.

How could I kill them?

Let's go.

We have to go.

So, you let them escape?

They escaped by themselves.

Xuanshang and Chaofeng

are very powerful.

They won't escape

from weaklings like you all.

Say no more.

If the voidwalkers are that capable,

you guys can capture them yourselves.

There's no need to follow us.

Continue your search.

Yes, sir!

No one is after us.

Let's head to Siqu Pavilion.

Let's go.

Wait!

Who was the one who said we shouldn't be soft-hearted just now?

They're my buddies from the Void Patrol Battalion.

Sir,

we had no choice.

No one dares to defy the Void Tyrant's order.

I cannot let you guys go.

You guys will report our whereabouts.

Since we're brothers,

I'll give you guys a quick death.

Sir,

please allow me to thank Princess Qingkui

before you kill me.

Why?

Your Highness once treated me

and my mother.

I always remember your kindness.

It's just that I didn't have the chance to thank you.

Your Highness, you were the one who saved my life.

Today,

I'm willing to return it to you.

Chaofeng,

let them off.

Leave.

Don't let me see you guys again.

Next time, I won't show any mercy.

Sir,

Your Highness,

please take care.

Suzhi?

Suzhi!

We cannot afford to take the risk.

You guys will be in danger

if Her Highness's location is revealed.

Your Highness is kind.

Immortal Xuanshang and Prince Chaofeng

cannot attack their tribesmen.

Just leave this

to me.

Generals,

have you guys found the flower spirits?

Your Majesty,

we haven't found them yet.

What about the Void Army?

We found nothing too.

The Beast Tribe had found nothing too.

Immortal Xuanshang is immensely powerful.

And Chaofeng is excellent at doing reconnaissance measures.

I'm afraid

we have to continue the search for some days.

Generals.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Announce to the world

that if Yetan and Qingkui

aren't willing to receive their execution

within three days,

I will lay waste to the human's imperial city.

Yes, Your Majesty!

Heavenly Emperor,

you're acting like the Void Tyrant now.

Desperate times

call for desperate measures.

Good.

The Void will assist you with our troops as well.

It's just a tiny imperial city.

Void Tyrant, spare yourself from the trouble.

It's our common responsibility

to get rid of the flower spirits.

Since both the immortals and voidwalkers

are dispatching their troops together,

the four realms can rest at ease now.

The Beast Tribe will be on standby

just in case anything happens.

The owner of Siqu Pavilion is an old friend of mine.

He won't betray us.

Kui,

let's rest here for now.

Have you guys seen this person around?

What's inside your sack?

We shouldn't stay here for long.

Although I've increased the strength of my barrier,

they'll still discover us easily.

If this continues,

things will get only harder for you two.

There's nothing hard about it.

If they attack us,

we'll retaliate.

However,

our current enemies

are your brethren and brothers.

They belong to the same tribe as you.

If you guys attack each other,

Tan and I will become heinous sinners.

If so,

I'll absorb their impurity.

I finally have the power to do so.

You mustn't do so!

If you do so,

you'll give people a subject for ridicule.

Then, we'll truly end up

as the heretics who try to end the world.

Qingkui, do you even know the situation we're in?

You can't afford to be merciful anymore.

So, you want Youqin,

Chaofeng,

and me to not retaliate?

Do you want us

to wait for our demise?

Tan, listen to me.

The four realms treat us

as the flower spirits of doom.

But we know clearly

that it isn't true.

I know they're wrong.

But must we follow in their footsteps?

You were never

influenced by other people's opinions.

I learned that from you.

No matter what kind of sticky situation we got ourselves into,

we must

pursue the life we want.

Can you stop being so naive?

You've always been saving the injured and helping the weak.

But can you stop them

from killing you?

It's a dog-eat-dog world out here.

Do you truly think one good turn deserves another?

I didn't practice medicine

so that I could be rewarded.

I was just following my nature.

That's why I lead a carefree life.

Fine, I'm narrow-minded.

Okay?

Carefree girl.

Tan, you!

It's fine.

Your Highness.

This is the owner of Siqu Pavilion.

He's an ally.

Your Highness, this is bad.

I heard that the immortals and voidwalkers

have surrounded the imperial palace.

The Heavenly Emperor has set a three-day limit

for the two princesses to return to the imperial palace.

If not,

he will lay waste to the imperial city.

The Heavenly Emperor is actually using my father as a hostage?

My mother is still in the palace.

He's despicable.

You mustn't go!

That's what the Heavenly Emperor

wanted you to do.

At most, we can perish together!

I'll charge into the palace with my powers.

Your Highness, don't fall for their trick.

You two came from Dongqiu

and have no ties with the human race.

There's no need for you to get implicated because of Emperor Tun.

Emperor Tun is their foster father after all.

They must repay his kindness.

Back then, you and the tribesmen of Dongqiu

died to protect

the Ganoderma Vein, right?

Suzhi has a point.

If you two head back,

it'll make the situation worse.

Don't tell me you want us

to sit by and do nothing

as the Void Tyrant and Heavenly Emperor lay waste to the imperial city?

Do we have

any other solutions?

What's the situation?

The palace has been surrounded.

General Tortoise and

Chief Wizard Xiangliu

are standing guard personally.

Seems like the four realms

are bent on

killing the sisters.

Feng will never

just stand idly by.

But with Immortal Xuanshang around,

they might still stand a chance.

No matter how powerful he is,

they're still outnumbered.

How could they

win against the elite forces of the two tribes?

Consort Xue, don't worry.

If they do come back,

we'll fight to the death.

The immortals and voidwalkers

have surrounded the palace

and cast a barrier around it.

Even a bird can't fly outside now.

What should we do?

We can only pray that they don't return.

Heavenly Emperor.

[Liguang Palace] Void Tyrant.

We can talk this over.

There's no need to do this.

Why don't you guys come inside?

Let's have a chat!

Why don't you guys come inside?

Let's sit down and have a chat!

They're too much.

Your Majesty!

Don't stop me!

Your Majesty!

Your Majesty!

You guys have gone too far!

Emperor Tun,

sorry for the trouble.

We have to do this

to capture the flower spirits of doom.

There's no need to explain yourself to a mortal.

The immortals and voidwalkers are mighty indeed, huh?

I know the human race is weak.

For millenniums,

we worshipped the immortals and feared the voidwalkers.

That's why I married my daughters off

to both of the tribes respectively.

I hoped that we could form a bond.

In the end,

you guys are surrounding us with your armies.

Just shut up and wait.

If you say one more word,

I'll demolish your palace immediately!

I have something to say!

You!

Void Tyrant!

The twin flowers aren't here yet.

Do not act recklessly.

You guys surrounded my palace

for three days

just to make Tan and Kui show themselves.

What has the human race got to do with this?

I know the voidwalkers are rude.

But now, even the immortals are forsaking

their integrity?

You guys declared that my daughters

are the flower spirits of doom.

However, what exactly did they do wrong

for you all to condemn them like this?

They didn't have a choice

when they were born flower spirits.

They're your daughters-in-law!

However, you guys

have no compassion at all.

You guys are actually trying

to kill my daughters

in front of me!

You guys have no conscience!

Although the human race is weak,

we can't just allow anyone

to trample on us.

If I can't even

protect

my daughters today,

how can I protect my people?

If you guys

dare to lay a finger on my daughters,

the human race

will declare war upon you two

and fight to the death!

(They still came back.)

Your Majesty,

Immortal Xuanshang has brought the twin flowers to the Heavenly Realm.

What?

They're in the Heavenly Realm?

Yes.

Yetan also has a message

for Your Majesty and the Void Tyrant.

Speak.

She said both of you don't need

to hold the human kingdom hostage to capture them.

She and Princess Qingkui

are waiting for you two

in Ninth Heaven Hall.

If you two don't head back...

What will they do?

They will destroy Ninth Heaven Hall.

They're running amok in Ninth Heaven Hall, huh?

They're too bold for their own good.

My army and I

will follow you to the Heavenly Realm

to hunt down the twin flowers.

Ninth Heaven Hall

isn't a place for bloodshed.

Void Tyrant, you don't need to bring your army with you.

Just you alone will suffice.

Since they're already in the Heavenly Realm,

I won't let them escape.

Fine.

(They're doing a demonstration in Ninth Heaven Hall.)

(The Heavenly Emperor will never let them off.)

Youqin,

you should come to your senses.

Father.

I should've killed you long ago!

Back then, for the sake

of this fake Heavenly Consort,

you barged into the Heavenly Ministry of Justice,

forsook your position as the empyrean

and your fellow immortals

to be together with her.

I've tolerated you time and time again.

I was hoping that you might

come to your senses one day.

I never expected you to do something this ridiculous.

You brought the flower spirits of doom here

to destroy your own home!

Father, you forced us to do so.

She's the flower spirit of doom!

Are you going to risk offending the world

to assist an evildoer like her?

I didn't come here

to reason with you all.

I'm here to negotiate a deal.

First,

rescind your order

of destroying the Ganoderma Vein

and do not send your army

after us.

Second,

announce to the world

that the Dongqiu Tribe

had no intention of destroying the world.

Heavenly Emperor,

please return the Soul-Gathering Lamp to us

so that the souls of the dead Dongqiu people can be reborn.

What gives you guys the right

to negotiate a deal with us?

We can absorb both purity and impurity.

If you guys insist on

forcing us into a dead corner,

we can fight you guys

with our flower spirit powers.

Heavenly Emperor, Void Tyrant,

if you guys can make a pact with us

and let us off,

we'll promise

we'll never use our flower spirit powers again.

The five of you

intruded upon Ninth Heaven Hall by yourselves.

Do you guys think you can get out of this place?

What if the army of the Xia clan is with them?

Heavenly Emperor, if you refuse,

the Xia clan will cease

to be part of the immortals.

What did you say?

Heavenly Emperor, seems like you can't even

keep your harem in check.

Father,

you should stop.

The Ganoderma Vein can co-exist peacefully

with the four realms.

Father, your initial goal

was to preserve the peace of the four realms.

The two princesses are kind at heart.

Father, there's no need

to instigate hate.

Back then, I couldn't sleep in peace

after the massacre of Dongqiu.

Now, the three masters

can't just stand idly by.

Heavenly Emperor,

it's time to wake up.

It's time for you to stop.

Father,

must you push yourself

into a spot where all your kins forsake you?

Today,

I have to accept her proposal

no matter if I like it or not.

There's no benefit in perishing together.

You guys are threatening me here!

Fine.

I will give you my promise.

For this son of mine.

For the sake of my favorite son, Shaodian Youqin.

I will give you guys my promise.

This concerns the safety of the four realms.

How could you compromise with them?

It's precisely because of the safety of the four realms

that I have to compromise with them.

Void Tyrant,

sometimes, a little impatience

spoils great plans.

Fine.

I will give you guys my promise too.

I never expected

to get away scot-free

after barging into the Ninth Heaven Hall.

Don't you think

this is an unprecedented record?

You're getting ahead of yourself, huh?

I was so nervous just now.

It's all thanks to Ziwu

and Mother.

I'm afraid things wouldn't go so well

without your help.

Thank you, Mother.

Mother,

what you've done today

had humiliated Father. I'm afraid...

Don't worry.

The Xia clan has my back.

He wouldn't dare do anything to me.

Although Father is overbearing,

he still cares about Mother.

It's a good sign

that he's willing to back down.

Maybe you guys can convince him

to let you guys return here

in due time.

When you miss us,

we and Ziwu

will come back and visit you.

Why did you include me?

I'm afraid you and Di Lanjue

would already have three children

in the Beast Realm by the time

the Heavenly Emperor is willing to accept our return.

Sister-in-law!

Mother,

this is a complicated matter.

I haven't got the chance

to explain it to you yet.

I was wondering

why Ziwu didn't fall for

any other immortals.

So, she fell for the Prince of the Beast Realm.

After we left,

Qingheng was the only one here.

He and Husui went to retrieve the Soul-Gathering Lamp.

Why haven't they returned yet?

Masters, I know

what you guys are curious about.

My actual name is Suzhi.

I was a clan member of Dongqiu

who was fortunate enough to survive the massacre.

If I'm not mistaken,

you guys were there

when the massacre happened.

I wasn't there.

I wasn't there.

We weren't

experienced enough back then.

However, a certain individual was.

I have sinned.

I know you still bear a grudge against us.

I will apologize

for what I've done.

Thank you, Jade Deity.

If you didn't keep

the Soul-Gathering Lamp,

I would

have no reason to live.

I barely survived

to retrieve the Soul-Gathering Lamp

and revive my people

so that Dongqiu can make a comeback.

And now,

my wish has finally been granted.

Please get up.

Please get up.

Immortal Qingheng, judging from your expression,

could it be that you knew about this long ago?

I remember now.

You mentioned the topic of Dongqiu

when you came to me.

I...

Immortal Qingheng didn't reveal my true identity back then.

He covered up for me instead.

I will never forget your kindness.

What took you so long

to get the lamp?

Thank you, masters.

Farewell.

Immortal Qingheng, you don't need to see me off.

I guess

you won't return

to the Heavenly Realm in the future.

In the future, I'll remain in Dongqiu

to keep watch over the revival process

and do all I can to revive Dongqiu.

Masters, I hope you three

and Immortal Qingheng

can visit Dongqiu in the future.

It's a promise.

Father!

They're back.

Mother.

Father!

Tan!

Sir!

Kui!

So,

are you guys hurt?

Did the Heavenly Emperor and Void Tyrant

make things difficult for you guys?

We aren't hurt at all.

We're perfectly fine.

Father, don't worry.

The Heavenly Emperor and Void Tyrant

decided to give up and make a pact with us

after they saw Xuanshang and Chaofeng siding with us.

They feared our powers,

and the Heavenly Empress

was also

willing to help us out.

We won't

get into a conflict with them again.

You guys actually

escaped unscathed from such a dire situation?

This is truly fortunate.

This is truly fortunate!

Thank you guys for protecting them.

Emperor Tun,

I made a promise to you,

didn't I?

Emperor Tun,

I won't let Kui

get in harm's way

when I'm around.

What did you guys call me just now?

Father-in-law.

Father-in-law.

Good boy.

You too.

Well,

it must've been a long trip.

I shall prepare a lavish banquet

to celebrate your narrow escape!

Father, no need for the trouble.

We're just here to check in with you.

We'll depart for Dongqiu after this.

Why are you guys heading to Dongqiu?

It's a dangerous place.

My child, you mustn't go there!

Emperor Tun,

you were tough

when you confronted

the Heavenly Emperor and Void Tyrant.

Why are you

suddenly so timid now?

You see,

it's a long story.

You guys have to listen to my tale.

So, this is the place

where we were born?

The last time I came here

was the time Youqin

attempted to repair Guixu.

Yeah.

I still remember

the time I first met you.

You said I was 2,700 years old

and that I was courting someone much younger than me.

Now that I think about it,

I think our roles were reversed.

You do hold a grudge for a long time, don't you?

My goodness.

I guess you guys are respecting the old and cherishing the young, huh?

Just shut up.

It's been 10,000 years.

Dongqiu finally has its name cleared.

And now, I've finally obtained the Soul-Gathering Lamp.

The flower spirits are also accepted by the four realms now.

These are achievements

that I didn't even dare to dream of.

Suzhi, don't worry.

Now, there are

more than the three of us.

We have Immortal Xuanshang

and Chaofeng with us too.

I'm sure Dongqiu

can return to its former glory.

To be honest,

I once worried

that your husbands might part ways with you two

when we were in deep trouble.

However, Immortal Xuanshang and Prince Chaofeng

were sincere with you two.

You guys weren't wrong about them.

What are you waiting for?

Hurry and use the Soul-Gathering Lamp.

Father, Mother,

I've finally done it.

The souls of the dead Dongqiu people that were bound for 10,000 years,

they could finally be revived.

Hurry, run!

Youqin!

Chaofeng!

These aren't the souls of the dead Dongqiu people!

It's the Heart-Devouring Array.

It's an ancient spell known to the immortals.

Once you're caught by it,

you cannot use your powers.

Hurry and think of something!

Why would there be a magic array

within the Soul-Gathering Lamp?

Don't tell me it was a fake?

How could the Heavenly Emperor and I

let you guys off this easily?

Kui!

Qingkui!

Tan!

Kui!

I only possess purity.

Your flower spirit power

won't work on me.

Tan!

Tan!

You guys went back on your word

like a scoundrel would!

Aren't you afraid that the beings of the four realms might laugh at you?

The beings of the four realms only knew that you two

barged into the Ninth Heaven Hall

and forced me and the Void Tyrant

into signing a pact with you two

with the flower spirit power.

And now, you guys are attempting

to break the seal of Guixu again.

The immortals and voidwalkers

have no choice but to eliminate you two

to protect the four realms.

Therefore,

the four realms will only be grateful to me.

Father!

Since young, you taught me

to be an upright person!

But now, you've resorted

to such underhand means!

Aren't you ashamed of yourself?

I'm ridding the four realms of evil.

Why should I be ashamed?

The Soul-Devouring Array is an ancient spell known to the immortals.

Even the three masters

cannot escape it unscathed.

Youqin,

stop being willful.

Father,

are you truly going to join hands with them?

The twin flowers have powers that rival even the heavens themselves.

How could I

tolerate their presence?

Get rid of the flower spirits.

Let's get this over with.

Kui!

No, Father!

I have one last thing to say

about the seal of Guixu!

Speak!

According to the legend, the gates of Guixu will open when the Twin Flower is present.

Since unlocking the seal of Guixu

requires both of us,

if I die,

my younger sister

won't be a threat to the four realms, right?

Princess Qingkui, you mustn't!

Kui, what nonsense are you talking about?

You fool!

What are you saying?

Even if someone is supposed to die here, it should be me!

Don't pretend to be a heroine!

Put me down!

Right now,

we have no way out.

Instead of letting them wipe us out,

I should be the sole sacrifice.

Kui!

Liguang Yetan can absorb impurity.

If I let her off,

I'll be risking my own life.

Tan and I are flowers

born from the same roots.

If I die,

Tan will lose

her impurity-absorbing ability.

If you don't believe me,

you can ask Suzhi.

Your flower spirit power will only dissipate

if one of you dies

and the root is damaged.

You fool!

What are you saying?

What are you saying?

Suzhi,

if you don't tell them,

we'll all die here.

Put me down!

Put me down!

Suzhi was the sole survivor of the Dongqiu clan 10,000 years ago.

She's the only one

who knows flower spirits the best.

Heavenly Emperor, Void Tyrant,

if you two agree

to let them go,

I will take my own life

to resolve your doubts.

Once I'm dead,

the flower spirit power will vanish.

Yetan will turn into a mere mortal.

Guixu will forever be sealed away.

Heavenly Emperor, Void Tyrant, to the beings of the four realms,

not only will you guys protect the four realms,

but you guys are also benevolent

and generous.

Qingkui!

Qingkui!

Heavenly Emperor just broke his promise!

How could you trust him?

Even if you do die here,

we'll be wiped out too!

Put me down!

Put me down!

Qingkui!

Kui!

I'm sure we can get out of here!

Don't do anything silly!

Even if we do avoid

their pursuit today,

we'll never be able to live in peace.

This is the best ending for all of us.

Qingkui,

I promise you.

You fool!

What nonsense are you saying?

Qingkui!

Qingkui, don't do it!

If you're willing to take your own life,

I will let Liguang Yetan off.

Thank you, Heavenly Emperor, Void Tyrant.

Don't do it!

Kui!

Don't do it!

Qingkui, don't do it!

Your Highness!

Today, both the immortals and the voidwalkers

will be our witness!

If the Heavenly Emperor and Void Tyrant break their promise,

I hope all of you

will reveal the truth to the four realms!

Put down the sword!

Tan,

let's be sisters again in our next life.

What nonsense are you saying?

Forget about the next life!

Put down the sword!

Kui!

In my this life,

I spent time with you.

I'm already content

with the joy I've had.

I've already seen the herbs

you grew for me.

Thank you.

Chaofeng.

Kui!

-Kui! -Qingkui!

Kui!

No!

Your Highness!

Qingkui!

Qingkui!

Qingkui!

Kui!

Tan!

Your Highness!

Your Highness!

Your Highness!

Your Highness!

Heavenly Emperor,

do we really let Liguang Yetan go?

I will only bring Shaodian Youqin back to the Heavenly Realm.

Tan!

Tan!

Tan!

What else do you guys want?

Are you going to kill all of us?

Your Highness!

Your Highness!

Someone!

Someone!

Someone!
