(Back From The Brink)

(Episode 32)

Let me go!

Let me go!

I'm the Elder of Chenxing Mountain's Discipline Hall.

How dare you show such audacity?

You released a guilty disciple without permission.

How dare you complain about me

in front of Senior Lingxiao now?

Master,

I did intend to release Yanhui last night.

I admit my mistake.

I'll bear any punishments.

But Lingfei!

As the Elder

of Chenxing Mountain's Discipline Hall,

she activated the Starfall Terrace Deadly Formation

and abused her power to harm her fellow junior

due to her grudge against Yanhui!

Now,

Yanhui has fallen into the Obsidian River.

Unfortunately, she died.

It's all because of Lingfei's selfish behavior.

Master,

please uphold justice

for Yanhui.

Yanhui is Chenxing Mountain's sinner.

And she was

taken away by the evil dragon.

She practiced the skills of the evil dragon

and colluded with Qingqiu.

Her sin was unpardonable.

You think she deserves justice?

Senior,

that disciple of yours colluded with the spirits.

She betrayed our clan.

She was no longer a part of us.

It was more than reasonable

for me to kill her.

She deserved to die!

Kneel!

Senior,

are you sure you want to punish me

for that sinful disciple of yours?

Lingfei,

do you have no remorse at all?

Killing her

was the best thing

I'd done in my life.

Why should I be remorseful?

You shattered my Chenxing Mountain jade ring?

As the sect leader of Chenxing Mountain, this is my order.

From today onward,

Lingfei's status as the Elder of Discipline Hall

will be revoked.

She will receive 50 rods

and be imprisoned within the Spirits Gaol for the rest of her life.

Who dares to touch me?

I'm the sister of Master Suying.

I'm the symbol of friendship

between Chenxing Mountain and Guanghan Sect.

Everyone in the world knows

that Yanhui colluded with the evil dragon.

You're actually

punishing me for a sinner like her?

Aren't you afraid

that you might offend the Guanghan Sect?

Lingxiao,

you actually humiliated me because of Yanhui?

You're biased!

Why are you always biased toward Yanhui?

Why?

What gives her the right for you to side with her?

What gives?

Why must she still obstruct me even when she's dead?

Punish her!

Lingxiao!

You let me down first!

Don't blame me for this!

All those who humiliated me

must die!

You harnessed the dark aura in secret?

My mind's eye!

You destroyed my mind's eye!

There's no way for me to cultivate my powers now!

You're already a dark practitioner.

You deserve to be slain!

Master Lingxiao,

how dare you use such moves against Su'e?

She has fallen into darkness.

But her mind's eye has been destroyed.

I'll bring her back to Guanghan Sect

and discipline her myself.

If you practice favoritism

and defend a dark practitioner like her,

that means you'll be going against

the sect's regulations and affect our reputation.

When it comes to showing favoritism,

Master Lingxiao,

I'm no match for you.

Su'e,

return with me.

Master,

can we allow them to leave just like that?

From now on,

there will be no alliance

between Chenxing Mountain and Guanghan Sect.

So what if they're Taoist masters?

They're but pawns

to me.

(Now, the evil dragon is dead.)

(The Heart Protecting Scale has sunken into the depth of the Obsidian River.)

(Nothing else can stop me now.)

(Once I break the faltering seal)

(of Starhaven, )

(this world)

(will be mine.)

(Master, )

(are you going to teach me how to write?)

(Yanhui)

Master,

what words are these?

This is your name.

Yanhui.

It's me?

It's actually my name?

(Master, )

(am I an idiot?)

(I don't know how to wield a sword at all.)

You can do it with enough practice.

Master, here you go.

(I trained harder)

(than them, )

yet they mocked me

for embarrassing you.

Was it because of your star number?

So what if you're a one-star disciple?

You've never embarrassed me before.

(Yanhui, )

you've never disappointed me before.

(From today onward, )

(you're no longer)

(a disciple of Chenxing Mountain.)

(I obeyed the order I received a decade ago)

(and chased you off the mountain.)

(And now, I'm obeying my master's order)

(to shatter the Heart Protecting Scale you have.)

(I hoped you could lead a peaceful life because of this.)

(It's all my fault.)

I was your disciple for ten years.

You actually

forced me into a dead corner.

Fine.

Yanhui!

Yanhui!

(I wanted to protect the world)

(and keep you alive too.)

(But in the end, )

(I've still let you down.)

Lingxiao,

it's hard to maintain a stable heart, isn't it?

Starhaven?

Lingxiao,

thank you

for completing my last wish.

You are.

Dark Phantom?

This time,

you did recognize me.

This time?

Didn't we already

encounter each other once

in my mind's eye?

(I will open)

a path of escape for you.

Use the path

and leave this place.

(You have to complete this task for me.)

Destroy the Heart Protecting Scale.

The Heart Protecting Scale?

Once you destroy it,

(nothing else will be able to boost Dark Phantom's power.)

So,

it was you all along?

Yes, my beloved disciple.

I wanted to destroy the Heart Protecting Scale

for many years.

I wouldn't have been able to get rid of

such a strong opponent without lifting a finger

if it weren't for you.

From now on,

no one

in the world

can stop me.

Are you curious

as to how Qingguang died?

Ten years ago,

you brought Yanhui back to Chenxing Mountain.

Qingguang placed a seal

on her Heart Protecting Scale.

Master.

Did you seal away

the power of her Heart Protecting Scale?

(It was already futile)

(when Qingguang placed the seal)

(on the Heart Protecting Scale.)

I devoured him bit by bit

during the last ten years.

He was

but a hollow shell.

Excellent.

So, Suying's barrier is still capable of restricting me.

However,

there's no more dragon in the world!

You,

Suying,

none of you will be able to survive!

(Why hasn't Master returned yet?)

(Could it be)

(that something had happened to him?)

Master,

how's Starhaven doing?

Master,

what's wrong?

I was wrong.

I was utterly wrong.

You were wrong?

Master, what do you mean?

I harmed her.

You harmed her?

Master!

I don't believe it.

I don't believe that you're dead.

Lately, members of our sect

have been disappearing

for no reason.

Do you think

it has something to do

with our sect leader's revival?

Don't spout nonsense.

The revival of our sect leader

is great news

to Guanghan Sect.

You don't need to care

how she revived herself.

-Ma'am. -Ma'am.

Do you need anything from us?

Why didn't you report

the disappearance of my disciples

to me?

Speak!

Ma'am, you were asleep.

We reported everything

to Immortal Yunmeng.

Sometimes, we report them to Miss Su'e too.

Lately,

Immortal Yunmeng is nowhere to be found.

We didn't dare

to interrupt you during your cultivation.

Therefore, we reported everything

to Miss Su'e,

who returned with you.

That's why...

Got it.

You may leave.

-Yes, ma'am. -Yes, ma'am.

I've already sacrificed so many people.

Why isn't my face healed yet?

I'm sure.

Lingxiao chased me out of the sect

because of

how I look.

It's you?

Miss Su'e,

since I can help you to regain your power,

recovering your looks

is a piece of cake for me.

I've already offered

so many insignificant lives

to you.

What else do you want?

I need more souls.

Once I've obtained enough power,

I can break out

of Starhaven.

By then,

I can provide you

with anything you want.

Fine.

There are

too many darned monsters

in the Taoist clans anyway.

Everything will be fine

once my face recovers.

Suying?

Suying,

what are you doing here?

How do you explain the dark aura

inside your body?

Dark aura?

What's wrong with it?

Will you reprimand me

like Lingxiao did?

Are you here to punish me?

Is that so?

Of course not.

I might not be able to kill Yanhui

without the dark aura's power.

Suying,

I'm fine if someone else reprimands me.

But Suying,

why are you reprimanding me too?

I saved you!

I'm not reprimanding you.

Su'e,

the dark aura

belongs to the dark force.

No matter what had happened,

I will help you out.

Let's expel

the dark aura from your body together.

But you need to remember something.

In the future,

you mustn't let

the Lord of Dark Aura bewitch you again.

He will land you in trouble.

Yes, Suying.

I will do as you say.

I'm around.

Everything will be fine.

One's soul

is always ruined

by the people closest to them.

Just like how Yanhui's master ruined her.

You still wish

to avenge your dead lover?

Just give up.

Your story with her

has ended.

"Today, by the Obsidian River,

I lost my dearest friend.

The ever-flowing river

flows without rest.

May our friend

depart in peace."

(The long river falls)

(as trouble arises.)

(Five hearts facing the sky, )

(lying underneath the lake.)

(Calm your heart and stop worrying.)

(Understand the underlying meaning.)

(Ponder upon its logic.)

(Sensing.)

(Emptiness isn't empty.)

(Empty is as empty does.)

(Imprinted in one's mind through sight.)

(Move your brain, )

(and you feel dizzy.)

(Only then shall you see two.)

"If the afterlife does exist,

we shall laugh together

as we gather again!

Do..."

Look!

(The long river falls)

(as trouble arises.)

(Five hearts facing the sky, )

(lying underneath the lake.)

(Calm your heart and stop worrying.)

(Understand the underlying meaning.)

(Ponder upon its logic.)

(Sensing.)

(Emptiness isn't empty.)

(Empty is as empty does.)

(Imprinted in one's mind through sight.)

(Move your brain, and you feel dizzy.)

(Only then shall you see two.)

This is a strange phenomenon!

This has never been seen before!

What are those?

Something's stirring under the Obsidian River.

(A sort of power)

(is summoning the dark aura.)

(Could it be)

(that she didn't die in the depths of the Obsidian River, )

(but instead, )

(she had mastered the Ghostly Eulogy?)

Yanhui.

Yanhui?

Yanhui!

Look!

Yanhui is still alive!

You're right! Yanhui is still alive!

She's heading toward Sanchong Mountain!

What is this?

Look. What's that?

Over there!

Look over there!

Look!

How could such terrifying spirit power

be born out of nowhere?

That was a terrifying presence.

Was it a spirit?

Yeah.

She's heading toward the Dragon Vein Formation.

Tianyao?

Tianyao!

Tianyao!

Wake up.

I'm here to save you.

Tianyao!

He needs his dragon veins.

Tianyao!

Tianyao!

Tianyao!

Tianyao!

Tianyao!

Tianyao!

Tianyao!

Don't leave me!

Tianyao!

Tianyao.

That's right.

It's not time

to give up yet.

Tianyao,

I'll definitely save you.

Someone destroyed the Dragon Vein Formation by force

and rescued the evil dragon.

Yanhui is the only person

who's desperate to save him.

Yanhui jumped into the Obsidian River

in front of our eyes.

It can't be her.

I don't care who it is.

Practitioners of the dark aura

are our enemies.

Master Lingxiao,

I just hope

that you can be as decisive

as the time

you punished Su'e when you encounter

this entity.

(Feng Qianshuo and Xiange)

went to the Obsidian River in search of Yanhui.

They will be fine, right?

They have plenty of ways to get around.

Don't worry.

Let's tell my father about this first.

Maybe he would...

What's that?

Let's go and take a look!

Your Majesty,

I saved Tianyao from the Heavenly Severance Formation.

The Life-Swapping Spell was triggered long ago.

Tianyao was no longer breathing.

When I was just about to give up,

he turned into this dragon egg.

Your Majesty,

your intelligence is unparalleled.

Please take a look.

Is Tianyao

still alive?

I can detect

faint breathing inside the egg.

This should be formed

by his last Dragon Consciousness.

Can he be saved then?

Tianyao is the Millennium Dragon.

Even if he perishes completely,

it takes seven days

for his Dragon Consciousness to vanish completely.

If you could gather

all his lost Dragon Consciousness

within seven days,

he might

still survive.

How long has it been since I fell into the Obsidian River?

Three days.

Three days?

That means I only have four days left.

How can I find Tianyao's Dragon Consciousness?

Where was

your Life-Swapping Spell activated?

Chenxing Mountain's Starfall Terrace.

You shall find it there.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

Father,

was that...

It was Yanhui.

I knew it.

It was her indeed.

But

why was she in a rush?

She desires to save her beloved.

Eldest Senior,

has Master returned

after chasing the moving dark aura yesterday?

How's Master doing?

Is he doing better now?

Ever since Yanhui...

Ever since Master came back from the Obsidian River,

it felt like he grew old overnight.

He went to Starhaven yesterday.

After that, he went to Sanchong Mountain.

His body is getting weaker and weaker.

I heard that Yanhui took her own life

by jumping into the Obsidian River

right in front of Master.

Eldest Senior,

it's been some days since you caught a wink.

Why don't you

go and rest?

I need to stand guard over Master.

Eldest Senior!

Eldest Senior!

This is huge!

This is huge!

Senior Yanhui has returned!

Yanhui?

Where is she?

She's heading toward the Starfall Terrace!

The Starfall Terrace?

Let's go!

I thought she was dead?

Look at her.

Is she possessed?

What should we do?

Why is she here again?

Let's stop her for now.

Get out of my way.

I don't wish to hurt you guys.

Yanhui!

What are you guys doing?

Keep your swords away!

Junior,

what's going on?

I'm no longer a member of Chenxing Mountain.

Immortal, do not address me wrongly.

Yanhui!

I came here

to retrieve the Dragon Consciousness that's lingering around here.

Once I'm done,

I will never set foot

in Chenxing Mountain again.

(The storm and rain rage)

(as the dragon shed tears of hatred.)

(With my soul, )

(I beseech the Dragon Consciousness.)

(Gather!)

I'm afraid she has mastered the dark aura.

(I think it became brighter.)

(It feels as warm as Tianyao's palm.)

(This will work.)

Master is here!

-Master! -Master is here!

Master!

Master!

-Master. -Look at Yanhui.

Master.

Master.

Yanhui is...

So, you mastered the dark aura?

Were you the one

who caused the earth to tremble

and destroyed the Heavenly Severance Formation?

Yanhui!

Stop!

Yanhui!

How could you attack your master?

My master?

He doesn't deserve my respect.

I practiced the dark aura in order to save people.

But him?

He may not practice the dark arts,

but he's an accomplice who contributed to Tianyao's death.

(I wouldn't have been able to get rid of)

(such a strong opponent without lifting a finger)

(if it weren't for you.)

(From now on, )

(no one)

(in the world can stop me.)

Frost Blossom Technique?

No one

can stop me.

Yanhui!

Yanhui.

Yanhui!
