(Back From The Brink)

(Episode 13)

Seriously?

I only knocked his head

very gently.

You don't even

take such good care of Tianyao.

This is my eldest senior.

He took care of me the most

when I was in Chenxing Mountain.

You beat him up after a disagreement.

Don't you think you're too hot-tempered?

I'm hot-tempered?

Fine.

I was hot-tempered.

I'll control myself in the future.

I'll apologize to you, okay?

However,

if Tianyao gets injured in the future,

you have to

take better care of him,

did you hear me?

Why did you bring him up?

Of course I have to.

Tianyao is the one for you.

Yanhui,

this is a warning.

If you dare

two-time him,

I'll never let you off.

You must be sick in the head, huh?

Go away.

Stop nagging.

You annoy me.

Leave.

Fine.

Conduct yourself.

Don't try anything indecent!

-Go away! -Fine.

You're so fierce to me and Tianyao usually.

But why are you treating

your eldest senior so gently?

Indeed. The one who dedicates himself to the relationship

will have to endure more grievances.

That's how women are.

Scram!

Scram? How?

Like this?

Or is it like this?

I...

-Scram! -Fine! I'll scram!

Shut the door!

Yes, ma'am.

Senior, you're awake?

Are you okay? Does your head still hurt?

You...

Why did you

have to mingle

with all those monsters?

I got it.

I've already taught him a lesson.

But I won't return

to Chenxing Mountain.

Staying by my side

isn't a wise choice.

No.

I have to bring you back.

I won't go back.

This is Master's order.

Master was the one

who kicked me out of the sect.

I'm no longer

a disciple of Chenxing Mountain.

And he's no longer my master.

So why should I obey his order?

Yanhui,

don't hold it against Master.

I'm sure he chased you out

for a reason.

How about this?

You can return with me first.

Don't worry.

This time, I'm here.

It won't end up the same.

Eldest Senior,

don't try to persuade me.

I won't head back.

And I have other affairs

to attend to.

What affairs?

(If I tell Eldest Senior)

(that I'm helping Tianyao)

(to regain his body, )

(he will definitely hinder us.)

(Maybe he'll even)

(tell Lingxiao about this.)

(No.)

(I cannot tell him the truth.)

I'm going to seek treatment.

What?

You!

You...

You...

What are you diagnosed with?

Since you're sick,

you should return to Chenxing Mountain with me

so that Master can treat you.

Chenxing Mountain

cannot cure my disease.

Chenxing Mountain can cure all kinds of diseases.

(So, they're only making)

(small talks.)

Do you think...

(It's nothing major.)

Do you think outsiders can cure you then?

(These two...)

Hurry and return with me.

(should be fine.)

I won't return with you.

If you won't return with me,

I'll bring you back by force.

I'm not going back!

I made a promise to someone.

I have to keep my promise.

You have to keep your promise?

I have to keep my promise

to Master too.

Come with me!

Senior, I'm not going back!

Stop treating me like a child!

Right now,

I am emotionally unstable!

Once you return to Chenxing Mountain,

you won't be emotionally unstable.

I'm really emotionally unstable!

Just leave me alone!

I can take care of myself!

Yanhui, this is a warning!

You have to come with me

no matter if you like it or not!

I'm not going back!

I'm not going back!

-Come with me! -Let me go!

Not again.

I'm sorry, Eldest Senior.

I couldn't take it anymore.

You can take a nap for now.

(I wonder how Tianyao is doing.)

(Isn't it dangerous for him to retrieve the sword himself?)

(Forget it.)

(He's just retrieving a sword from his house.)

To me, your life

is different

from anyone else's.

(Yanhui, )

(you're very unique to me.)

Let's go.

I'll take you home.

(No.)

(I have to think of something.)

She sure is willing to sacrifice a lot

just to sleep.

Yanhui?

Tianyao.

It's me.

She just fell asleep.

Let's keep this short.

There is absolutely something going on

between her and her eldest senior.

Her eldest senior is bent on

bringing her back to Chenxing Mountain.

I think

they're childhood sweethearts

or something of the sort.

Well...

Why don't I get rid of her eldest senior

for you?

Don't do unnecessary things.

She may look indifferent to Mount Chenxing,

but she actually cares about the sect

and sect members.

If you dare do anything silly,

I won't forgive you.

So, compared to your jealousy,

you're more worried about

the things she cares about,

right?

There's no jealousy.

Take good care of her.

Don't let anyone take her away.

Don't worry.

I'll keep a close eye on her

when you're not around.

I will definitely not let them

spend time

alone.

But you?

Once you're done...

Tianyao?

Tianyao?

Tianyao?

He's jealous.

(Why can't I)

(pull out the Flaming Dragon Fang?)

The Dragon King's Flaming Dragon Fang

is finally completed.

His Majesty is asleep?

His Majesty doesn't care about

what concerns him at all.

He actually fell asleep

right after his first sword was forged.

That's His Majesty for you.

Why don't we get him a gift

while he's still asleep?

-Okay. -Sure.

What are you guys doing?

Your Majesty,

we're sending you

a gift.

Your Majesty, you protect the valley

and its people.

I also hope that this sword

can protect you

during crucial moments.

Your Majesty, your sword is completed.

I hope you can train harder

in the future.

Your Majesty, I hope you can become

the strongest dragon in the world.

You fool.

His Majesty is the only dragon in the world.

That makes him the strongest dragon.

They poured all of their spiritual power

into it.

That's right.

It's their blessing.

That should be the case

for your first sword.

From now on,

only a pure person like you

with the intention

of protecting others

can wield it.

(However, this blessing)

(is a curse too.)

(In the future, )

you mustn't turn the blessing

into a burden.

So this is my curse.

My heart

is no longer pure.

(Wuqi Hall)

Yanhui

has become violent.

I can't just let her keep this up.

If she dared knock me unconscious today,

tomorrow...

Doesn't that mean she'll knock Master unconscious tomorrow?

No.

I must bring her back.

I can't just let you

stay by her side.

The disciple of Chenxing Mountain with seven stars,

I won't kill you.

What?

But I heard that it's easy for people

to get lost in the forest in the west.

-You should go there... -What are you doing?

and get lost for now.

Yanhui!

Senior?

Yanhui!

Senior!

Bai! Put him down now!

Senior!

Bai Xiaosheng! Show yourself!

Here I am.

You're sick in the head!

Release him immediately!

That's right!

Senior said

you're a total scoundrel!

Senior,

I didn't do it.

Why would I be in cahoots with him?

We're unrelated.

That's right.

Release him immediately!

You and your senior

have such perfect chemistry.

That's why I cannot release him.

After all, I just wanted to tie him up

and release him into the forest.

The forest isn't dangerous at all.

You...

It does look

a little dangerous, huh?

Why are you still standing there? Go and save him!

Wait.

It might be dangerous inside.

You shouldn't...

I have no time for this.

(Misty Forest)

Eldest Senior?

Bai Xiaosheng?

Eldest Senior!

Bai Xiaosheng!

Bai Xiaosheng!

Eldest Senior!

Where are you guys?

Give me some responses!

This tree...

It looks so strange.

Where's my wrist strap?

Zixiao Clan?

(The past resentment, gushing out from the blood. Souls wandering for tens of li, out for blood.)

(From Zitai to the desert, ) Tiandao Clan?

(a lonely grave faces the sunset) Tiandao Clan?

(Unparalleled in sword techniques and might)

This...

So many tombs.

(No regrets. Diyi Clan, Monk of Pity) Who are they?

Monk of Pity?

This forest is something else.

Yanhui is pretty reckless.

I hope she won't

lose her life here

and ruin my plan.

Sheng.

Sheng?

Sheng.

Sheng.

You're a storyteller indeed.

After so many years of doing this,

your epitaph

has the most words on it.

I guess you weren't done with your storytelling before you died.

This is so tiring.

Miss.

Excuse me.

(Phantom spirit, Huan Xiaoyan) A living human?

You're a living human!

What are you doing?

Not bad at all.

Not only are you alive,

but you're also a cultivator.

And you're pretty.

I'm sure you can keep me company for a long time.

Keep you company?

Do you live here?

Yes.

This is my home.

I've been living here

ever since I could remember things.

You live here?

Don't you think this place is dangerous?

Dangerous?

There's nothing dangerous about this place.

Everything is fine except for the fact

that you cannot leave the place.

We cannot leave the place?

But why?

For no reason.

You just can't leave the place.

You'll know when you stay here for a few more days.

(Feng Qianshuo said)

(it was difficult to exit this forest.)

(Seems like he was telling the truth.)

(It's just)

(that this forest is strange.)

(First, some vines)

(dragged Eldest Senior into the forest.)

(After that, the wrist strap)

(Tianyao tied on my hand vanished too.)

(And now, )

(there's this strange girl here.)

Are you a human or a spirit?

Me?

My name is Huan Xiaoyan.

I'm a phantom spirit.

Phantom spirit?

The ones

that can cast illusions.

What is this?

(Listen.)

(Stay here. Don't be afraid.)

(I'll show you)

(whatever you want to see.)

Sheng.

I will make sure you're entertained

until the day

you pass.

When?

The day of your passing.

Say something auspicious.

I won't let myself

die here.

Speaking of which, did you see

the other two guys?

There are two more guys?

It'll be lively in here then.

Since you're familiar with the place,

why don't you

help me find them?

There's no rush.

Follow me.

I've decided

to let you cut the queue.

Cut the queue?

Which kind of burial do you prefer?

Burial?

I'm an expert

at preparing funerals.

Look.

Look at all of these.

I made them.

When it comes to holding a funeral,

I can give you

whatever you desire.

However, you need to

finish your epitaph beforehand.

I'll carve them on your tombstone later.

Forget it. I can't afford to deal with her.

Where are you going?

Sheng.

Sheng.

Sheng.

Mother?

Let's play a game of hide and seek.

If you have

any special requests,

I'll try my best to fulfill them.

Why are you walking so fast?

I was talking about

an important matter.

Why are we back here again?

Did a ghost build an illusory wall here?

That's right.

Your guess is on point.

All those who came in never left.

So, the tombstones here...

They're all real?

Did you think

I was joking with you?

All of these are tombstones.

There's a person

under each tombstone.

Don't be scared.

The owner of the tombstone you touched

passed away peacefully.

He had a great temper.

Look at his epitaph.

"Eternal bliss."

He wrote blessings and all for his epitaph.

Did...

Did they all die here

because of old age?

They turned into smoke and vanished.

In here,

there's only one way to die.

Regarding the types of burial I mentioned,

like burial at sea and cremation,

they were only meant for the clothes you leave behind.

Mother?

Sheng.

Sheng,

let's play a game of hide and seek.

Stand properly.

I'll seek you out

once I count to 100.

Mother.

(All right.)

(Let's play hide and seek.)

Dark aura?

The game begins.

Find me before I count to 100.

If not, all of you will die.

My Lord?

One.

Lord?

There's a lord here?

My lord was always inside the ring.

Three.

But he never plays games

like hide and seek.

Five.

Six.

Seven.

Eight.

(Nine.)

(This place is strange.)

(Ten.)

(It makes the dark aura within my mind's eye)

(go berserk.)

Eleven.

Twelve.

We're done for.

My Lord has lost his mind.

Although I knew that would happen eventually,

I didn't expect it

to happen so suddenly.

14.

-Let's go! -15.

16.

What's going on?

Did your lord create

all this mess?

18.

19.

20.

That sounded like Bai Xiaosheng!

What hide and seek?

What maze?

What's going on?

My lord must have constructed this maze

using the inner darkness

of the intruder.

23.

-24. -Over here!

What do you mean by inner darkness?

We're phantom spirits.

Our lord can magnify

the fear inside one's heart,

trap the person inside,

and kill them!

Forget it.

We have to find Bai Xiaosheng first.

Over here!

43.

44.

45.

46.

47.

48.

(I'll seek you out)

(once I count to 100.)

93.

94.

95.

96.

97.

98.

99.

98.

97.

96.

(Young Bai Xiaosheng)

Another dead end?

Isn't this your territory?

What should we do now?

You know.

Bai Xiaosheng, right?

Since this is the projection of his inner heart,

you should think about

his characteristics.

Bai Xiaosheng?

Shadows.

He's a shadow spirit!

Shadow spirit?

Over here!

51.

52.

53.

62.

61.

60.

54.

55.

56.

(57.)

(58.)

59.

(Dark Phantom)

So, you're my offering?

(When I was waiting for Mother to seek me out, )

(I counted from one to 99.)

(And I then counted from 99 to one.)

(However, it's been ten years.)

(She never came back.)

(Until that day, )

(I finally had the chance)

(to go outside.)

His power

was actually sealed away?

(I'm finally free now.)

Mother?

Big shadow, small shadow.

(Shadows Village) Hand in hand under the moonlight.

I leave when my mother leaves.

I look around.

Run!

What's going on?

What's going on?

What happened?

This is...

Are you.

Bai Xiaosheng?

Why is he back?

(Bai Xiaosheng's Mother) Wasn't he sacrificed?

Wasn't he sacrificed?

-How did he make it back? -Precisely.

Isn't he...

You were an offering to the lord!

You better scram!

I'm not an evil child.

I've never committed any evil deeds.

When the evil child returns,

the village will be cursed!

What should we do?

Mother?

Why did he come back?

Mother!

You were an offering!

You're no longer related to the Shadow Clan!

Your mother

doesn't exist in the clan!

You're the evil child in the prophecy!

How dare you come back?

You better scram!

Do you wish to get everyone here killed?

Run!

Run!

Run!

Mother.

You once said

that you would seek me out

after you counted to 100.

Did you ever seek me out?

I...

I did.

But when I went back,

you were already gone.

You're lying.

You're lying!

I was in the same spot!

If you did seek me out,

you would've found me!

(I'll sit here and wait for my mother.)

(If not, )

(she won't be able to find me later.)

I did seek you out.

I searched everywhere.

I didn't lie to you.

You're lying.

I'm not.

You never sought me out!

You abandoned me!

What else can I do?

It wasn't my wish to give birth to an evil child.

You'll get me into trouble

if I keep you around,

do you know that?

(You didn't do anything wrong, )

(but you were abandoned by your own mother)

(and detested by your clan members.)

(Fate is unfair to you.)

(What are you waiting for?)

Since you guys want me to be the evil child so badly,

I'll grant you your wish then!

(Mother, )

(it's so cold here.)

(I'm so scared.)

(Why aren't you here yet?)

(Kill her.)

Yanhui?

(My dragon horns)

(aren't detecting Yanhui's aura.)

(I'm sure she's in trouble.)

(I can't afford to delay this any longer.)

(From now on, )

(only a pure person like you)

(with the intention)

(of protecting others)

(can wield it.)

Today,

I will protect him.

(Hatred)

(and grievances)

(had corroded my pure heart.)

But even so,

I have my own reason to wield this sword!

The killing intent is getting stronger and stronger.

Can you

actually find that person?

I don't want to

hold my funeral in this dark maze.

I haven't finished writing my epitaph yet.

I found him.

You found him?

81.

82.

83.

84.

85.

86.

87.

88.

89.

90.

91.

Bai Xiaosheng!

92.

Bai Xiaosheng!

Wake up!

94!

It's not the right time for counting.

Wake up!

90.

Let's go!

Yanhui.

You found me.

What's the matter with you?

He became normal just like that?

How could you throw

the ring to the ground?

What if

you hurt my lord

by doing so?

You said your lord resides within a ring.

You mean this ring?

Yes, that's the ring.

Release him

and ask him why he attacked us.

Can you please don't beat him up then?

He's a poor soul too.

Fine. Hurry up.

I think my lord is asleep.

Watch out!

Is he done yet?

Wait!

That isn't my lord's power!

That's the dark aura! It has been revived!

I'll hide in the ring first!

You should bring us with you!

Let's leave this place first.

Okay.

What are you guys doing here?

Eldest Senior, let's go!

Watch out!

Eldest Senior!

Eldest Senior?

Eldest Senior!

Eldest Senior!

Eldest Senior! Wake up!

Just go!

Leave this to me!

Hide behind the Shadow Shield!

By my knowledge,

Eight-Directional Flame of Anger!`

(Why can't I utilize my dragon fire?)

(The dark aura in my mind's eye)

(is getting out of control.)

(Heart Protecting Scale, )

(you have to do something about this.)

(We'll be done for)

(if I can't use my dragon fire.)

Stand behind me.

Today,

I have to save this person.

I don't care if you yield or not.

Flaming Dragon Fang, heed my order!

(Bai Xiaosheng.)

Yanhui,

wait for my return.

You're leaving right after the crisis is over?

What a disloyal friend!

Do you feel better now?

The dark aura in my mind's eye

has been vanquished.

I feel much better now.

Tianyao!

Tianyao!

Tianyao!

Tianyao!

Why are you seriously injured?

Yanhui.

Tianyao!

Who is he?

It's a long story.

He's a dragon.

But he saved us.

A dragon?

Forget it.

Let's leave this place now.

Let me.
