[Back From The Brink]

[Episode 3]

What's this?

It's her blood.

Get up! Get away from me!

Tell me. Why did you bite me last night?

Previously, I had not passed my tribulation, so I've been suffering from pain until this day.

For the past ten years, I've been suffering from excruciating pain when there is a full moon.

Blood from a Taoist can alleviate the pain a little.

You have no evidence to prove what you said.

I can't tell if you're telling the truth.

We should find a way to get out of here.

You're the Millennium Spirit Dragon, right?

Even if you have no spiritual power, I'm sure you know some ancient formations, right?

Seriously? Can this snake demon's formation trap you?

If I took you away from here, would you do me a favor?

What is it?

Behind the barrier we went to was not the Flame Orb the snake demon stole.

But an object that can help me relieve my sufferings during the full moon.

I want to take you with me.

I see. We're not in a hurry to see Madam Xiao, right?

When we left home yesterday, we said we were going to catch some chickens.

But now, we neither caught a chicken nor made it home.

I'm sure Madam Xiao is worried. Aren't you worried?

That figures.

You're her fake grandson.

Even the tenderness you showed her was also fake.

Since you're not in a rush, I'm not in a rush, either.

It's time for you to fulfill your promise.

Fulfill? Promise?

Brother Snake Demon, let me give you a piece of advice.

This man has lied to me many times.

Before you let him fulfill his promise, do you want to reconsider this matter?

I can give up my life as long as I can save A'Yun's life.

You're indeed a demon obsessed with love.

I must take her to enter the barrier with me.

How dare you try to take advantage of me again! I'm not going.

But...

Didn't you come here for these?

It's all yours now. So come with us.

My conscience suddenly got the better of me. Let's go.

We're here.

This barrier sure is powerful.

This formation relies mainly on water. You can use water magic to break the barrier.

There's a spell on the barrier. Watch out!

This formation is protected by the Five Elements Seal.

However, such a formation is used to seal something evil.

What exactly is in the barrier?

Something that can save me, that's all.

He said he's a dragon. Could he be telling the truth?

Go inside now. I can't hold on for too long with my spiritual power.

Let's go.

Follow my steps.

Have you been here?

I dreamed about it.

The thing you want to obtain is under this formation.

This formation is so powerful.

The person who set this formation should be one of the best among the Taoist clans.

I heard the dragon was killed by Taoist Master Suying twenty years ago.

It has nothing to do with you.

It looks like it's true.

What kind of love-hate relationship did you and Taoist Master Suying have

that she had to use such cruel means on you?

Do you really want to know?

Twenty years ago, I fell in love with Suying.

I was willing to sacrifice everything I had as a demon for her,

including my longevity, cultivation, and responsibilities.

But it was a shame that what I wanted to give was not what she wanted.

She deceived and hurt me just to make dragon-scale armor for the one she loved;

so she could save the one she gave her heart to.

You're not lying to me again, are you? Dragon-scale armor can save lives?

A dragon is invincible to all things.

Armor made from dragon scales gives people longevity.

I didn't know that.

She decided to take

what she wanted from me herself.

At Snow Peak

on the night of the full moon, she held her long sword

and killed me.

As what I'm doing right now.

You did everything to trick me into the formation

just to kill me.

I don't have the intention of killing you.

How can you deny it when you already tried to kill me?

I need to use your Heart Blood to break this formation.

You're trying to use the blood of a Taoist as a sacrifice for the formation.

I won't do it for other reasons today.

But I'll kill you for stabbing me with this sword!

Can you stop causing trouble?

You'll be safe with the Heart Protecting Scale.

Again?

You stabbed me once.

Now, you're doing it the second time.

We're running out of time!

Only your Heart Blood can break the barrier.

The dragon bone!

Luckily, I have a healthy body from eating and sleeping well.

That's how I managed to take his two stabs.

That hateful Millennium Dragon Demon.

How dare he plot against me.

Stop right there.

What's your problem? Since you managed to leave the formation, why are you..

- I want to kill him! - Hey! Get Away!

- Stop it! What are you doing? - Don't get in my way!

- Move aside! - Shouldn't I kill him for that?

You can't kill him! Listen

He retrieved what he wanted.

I can finally recognize his scent.

He was the Spirit Dragon, Tianyao, who protected the creatures in Luochuan Dragon Valley twenty years ago.

He's the Dragon Lord of the Demon Clan.

If he's the Dragon Lord, he can definitely repair the Flame Orb.

A'Yun is waiting for me to save her.

I have to go now.

I don't care if he's some stupid dragon.

After we save her, I'll cut him into pieces.

His injury came into contact with water.

His wound seemed to have opened up.

Could something bad happen to him?

He'll live. He's the Millennium Dragon Demon.

He looks like he's still harboring a lot of resentment.

Just ignore him.

Do you have dry clothes?

It doesn't matter if they are men's clothes.

My clothes are sticky and wet. I can't stand it anymore.

Yes, I'll get them for you. Wait here.

You better not hurt him!

I need him to save someone's life!

You'll be safe with the Heart Protecting Scale.

What did he mean?

[Guanghan Sect]

Sect Leader, the formation that sealed the dragon bone has been broken.

I've ordered the Guanghan Sect's disciples to guard the remaining formations that seal the dragon's limbs.

Do you have news on the Heart Protecting Scale's whereabouts? [Immortal Yunmeng of Guanghan Sect]

Forgive me for my incompetence. We still have no clue.

However, Elder Lingfei of Chenxing Mountain has caught the nine-tailed fox.

There was someone with the fox spirit.

It was Demon-suppressing General Lu, Lu Musheng.

Bring him here.

Yes, Ma'am.

Your needlework is quite exquisite.

Well, practice makes perfect.

All these years, A'Yun had been unconscious after she was severely wounded. I've been taking care of her.

You treat her really well.

She saved me once.

How did you two meet?

Well, it wasn't anything special.

Several decades ago, a few clansmen of mine and I

travelled from Sanchong Mountain to the Central Plain for our cultivation.

Unfortunately, we ran into several Taoist disciples.

To avoid their pursuit, I got separated from my clansmen and got lost in the barren mountain.

According to the age of the Demon Clan, I was eight that year.

That snake demon has low cultivation. He can't run far.

Leader Qiyun, we were going after a snake demon who snuck into the Central Plain.

Have you seen him?

He went that way.

Thank you, Leader Qiyun.

Let's head out.

You can come out now.

Next time, find a bigger branch.

Immortal.

[Taoist Master Qiyun, Leader of Qiyun Monastery]

You're brave for a demon with low cultivation.

Immortal, can you be kind enough and save my life?

Please send me home, Immortal.

I'll definitely repay you your kindness.

Do you know I'm from a Taoist clan?

All right.

Come with me.

Not only did she not mind that I'm from the Demon Clan, but she also saved me.

After that, she sent me somewhere near the Underworld Capital and let me return to the southwest alone.

Until this day, I still remember the flowers in the air and the warm breeze along the way.

So was that how you fell in love with her?

Oh, no! Not at all. I didn't... I was...

I dare not.

But she saved my life back then.

Now, I'm willing to repay her with my life.

The Taoist and Demon Clans are at odds now.

After helping her for so many years, I'm sure you won't be able to return to your clansmen.

It doesn't matter.

I only want to save her.

What if she doesn't want to be with you after she regains consciousness?

She is someone who originally stood on the misty immortal mountain.

As for me,

I'll be satisfied as long as I can give her what she wants.

You sure are one of a kind demon who's obsessed with love.

Then I wish both of you well.

You...

You even gave me your blessing.

You're also one of a kind Taoist.

It won't end well.

You can repay her kindness.

Don't think about anything else.

Are you...

Are you feeling better now?

Since you're awake, don't waste time and do what you need.

One with the dragon soul.

Hearken to me, the scorching flame.

Fuse!

Go and save her. Travel by water.

There are fewer Taoists, so it'll be safer.

Thank you, Dragon Lord. A'Yun is saved.

I'll be on my way.

Now, it's time to settle scores.

Tell me. Why did you try to kill me?

I never had the intention to take your life.

To retrieve the dragon bone, I must use your Heart Blood to break the seal.

That's something new.

"You need my Heart Blood to retrieve the dragon bone"?

It's true.

Your body possesses my Heart Protecting Scale.

Heart Protecting Scale? What's that?

Twenty years ago, Suying failed to make the dragon-scale armor.

- Do you know why? - How am I supposed to know?

Because to make dragon-scale armor,

the most important thing is the Heart Protecting Scale, which I hurled into the sky.

What?

When Suying ripped out my dragon scales, I used all that was left of my cultivation

to draw out the Heart Protecting Scale from the barrier of the formation.

Your scheme will be in vain!

Without the Heart Protecting Scale, that dragon-scale armor is useless.

So twenty years ago, neither of you got anything after fighting all day.

But it saved your life.

I found out after checking your pulse. You were born with a weak heart.

- What are you doing? Did you try to enter my mind's eye? - You weren't supposed to live this long.

You haven't unlocked your mind's eye yet.

But you've lived a lively life until now.

That's because my Heart Protecting Scale has been protecting you.

Come to think of it, the blast I set off in Chenxing Mountain was because of his Heart Protecting Scale.

If that's true, why didn't you tell me earlier?

Someone who fears death like you, you would have run off if I told you.

Then why are you willing to tell me now?

Don't... Don't tell me you want to take it back.

The Heart Protecting Scale is only a scale to me.

It doesn't matter if I don't take it back. But...

You're planning to blackmail me, so I'll accompany you to retrieve your limbs that were sealed in four directions.

- Can't you? - No.

By favor, I may owe you for acquiring this Heart Protecting Scale by accident,

but you've used me to retrieve the dragon bone by stabbing me twice in the chest.

So I've already paid this favor, anyway.

By reason, you're someone who explains after you act.

If you could take your Heart Protecting Scale back, you would have taken it back.

You didn't take it back because you can't take it back.

Since you can't take it back, I won't be able to give it back to you, anyway.

After I settle one last thing in Tongluo Village, it would be best if we have nothing to do with each other.

Where are you going?

Catch some chickens!

Grandma! Grandma!

Grandma.

Grandma. Grandma, we're home.

Grandma?

- Grandma. - What's wrong?

You're back. You're... You're home.

Grandma, I'm here.

I'm glad you're back.

I'm glad you're back.

Grandma, we caught many chickens and got many eggs too.

Next time, you can eat them without worries anymore.

- Grandma, look. - Granddaughter-in-law,

let's eat first.

The table is full of dishes.

Full of dishes.

Here come the eggs.

After staying in Tongluo Village for so long, I finally get to eat some meat.

Grandma, look at these dishes. We have eggs and chicken.

I'll peel an egg for you. Would you like that?

Grandma, here.

Such a blessing.

- How fortunate. - Grandma, have some meat.

A'Fu, you're lucky.

When you're together, don't fight

When you're together,

don't fight.

All right. Grandma, we won't fight.

Grandma?

Grandma, how can you sleep while sitting?

Grandma, lie down and sleep.

Grandma?

Come. Lie down and sleep.

Grandma.

What's wrong with Grandma?

Grandma...

She's gone.

It turned out

Grandma had been waiting for us to have a last meal with her.

[The Virtuous Madam Xiao's Soul-guiding Flag]

[Tomb of Old Madam Xiao]

[Ten Thousand Taels]

What's this?

Shouldn't we burn joss paper at this time?

I made you some. Why don't you offer them for Grandma?

- Will Yama accept this? - Yes. (T/N: God of the Underworld)

Then...

I'll burn it.

On the day of the full moon, Grandma wanted me to go home early.

She knew I would be in pain.

She also knew

I wasn't A'Fu.

[Tomb of Old Madam Xiao]

She knew everything.

But she still treated me as her grandson.

Spirits of heaven and earth,

I'm Tianyao, the Spirit Dragon.

I fell into the hands of the enemy many years ago and left with a strand of my dragon soul.

When I was vulnerable and helpless, I was fortunate to be cared for by Old Madam Xiao until this day.

I'm greatly indebted to her and unable to repay her kindness.

After I've found my body, I'm willing to protect Tongluo Village to make it peaceful for hundreds of years.

[The Virtuous Madam Xiao's Soul-guiding Flag]

When you speak the truth, you do look like a dragon.

You can say we were fated to meet.

After we bid farewell tomorrow, let's not meet again.

I'll drink with you.

That was good.

Again.

I didn't know a Millennium Dragon Demon like you could be this unrestrained.

Let's drink!

When I carried you back to Tongluo Village, you called "Master" again and again when you were unconscious.

Who's your master?

The Leader of Chenxing Mountain, Lingxiao.

But he's not my master anymore.

I was kicked out of the sect.

Why?

Because I disrespected the elders,

behaved recklessly, and injured the sect's fellow disciples.

I'm sure that the elder must have done something unreasonable.

How did you know that?

You may look fierce.

But you're not unreasonable.

You speak as if you know me well.

Is your master really important to you?

Of course, he is.

I wandered in the street for ten years since I was a child.

It was my master who brought me back to Chenxing Mountain. He fed me.

He taught me to read and be good.

Enough of him. Let's not talk about me.

Take a look at yourself. You look shabby.

If you told people you were a dragon that has lived over time

for a thousand years, who would believe you?

No one would believe me.

What kind of tribulation have you experienced that you ended up like this?

The one I love ripped my dragon scales,

gouged my dragon heart, chopped off my dragon horns, pulled out my dragon veins,

took apart my dragon bones, shackled my soul,

dismembered and scattered my limbs in all directions with the hopes that I'd be restrained

forever and ever.

I want you dead!

From that day on, I was no longer the carefree

and powerful Spirit Dragon.

But I've become a useless dragon without his dragon bones who lost all his cultivation.

That's too cruel.

It was such a terrible thing that happened to you.

I'll be here.

I'll definitely get justice for you.

About your body parts, I will help you find them all.

♫ A tiny jump, secretly turbulent ♫

From now on, your problem will be my problem.

I'll accompany you wherever you go.

Let's drink.

♫ I can't help but be gentle ♫

But

why did you want to continue living after she dismembered you?

♫ Every little thing is a love letter ♫

So I could meet you.

♫ The starry sky, the dream I long for ♫

♫ Let there also be a rainbow at night ♫

You're up.

[Lu Musheng]

You're at Guanghan Sect. Do you remember this place?

I used dragon scales to make this armor for you.

You could have had a longer life.

But it's a pity that it still lacks Heart Protecting Scale.

But even so, it can still spare you the sufferings from illnesses.

Don't worry.

I've cast a magic spell on it. No one...

can undo it unless I die.

Where's my wife?

I've imprisoned that fox demon.

Immortal, you've got it wrong.

She's not a fox demon. She's a human. She's my wife.

Release her quickly.

It's been twenty years.

I've been looking for you for twenty years.

I didn't do that to see you like this.

I don't know you.

You've mistaken me for someone else.

I don't recall having any conflicts with Guanghan Sect.

Mistaken?

How could I possibly be mistaken?

Back then, I had a hard time subduing the demon.

You came to rescue me and were injured by that evil demon.

Look.

This scar is the proof.

Trust me.

What... What are you talking about?

I've never met you before.

It's all that fox demon's fault.

She's not a fox demon. She's a human.

She would never harm me.

You can't even differentiate between humans and demon.

Lu Musheng,

look at yourself.

It's a disgrace to the reputation of the Mortal Realm's Demon-suppressing General Lu!

I'm just a scholar, not the Demon-suppressing General Lu.

Now, I only want to take my wife home.

You see it this way because you've completely forgotten the past.

Even if we had an encounter twenty years ago, as you've said,

this fate had ended.

You're an Immortal Cultivator.

You should know no one can go against the law of heaven.

Why don't you let it go? So it'll be best for both of us.

It can also be considered to fulfill a destiny.

Destiny?

Once you remember the past, you wouldn't say such a thing.

It's my chance. I should leave while he's still drunk.

With this bag of golden beans, I don't have to worry about expenses to Yongzhou.

I wonder if Xiange misses me.

Sword riding, fly!

Sword riding, fly!

Without unlocking the mind's eye to store spiritual power, I can't even ride a wooden stick.

How long will it take to reach Yongzhou on foot?

Where are you going?

Where I'm going is none of your concern.

Yesterday, you promised me you would accompany me wherever I wanted to go.

Where did I promise to accompany you yesterday?

Don't worry. I'll be here.

I'll definitely get justice for you.

Do you remember it now?

Yes. I'm a little confused.

If you don't remember, I don't mind repeating what you said.

No, it's all right.

I do remember it.

But I'm sorry. I can't help you.

You can't blame me for being heartless. I have no choice in this.

I may be kicked out of Chenxing Mountain. But I'm still a Taoist.

In the future, I need to make a living by getting rid of demons on the Bounty List.

It would be no problem to help other demons, but you're the Millennium Spirit Dragon.

If I help you, it's equal to betraying my Taoist clan's honor.

When that happens, all the Taoists will come after me.

So what should I do if that happens?

I'm just a nobody who has no ambition.

I lost my parents when I was a child. I even lived as a beggar.

I don't want to live a hard life anymore.

I can imagine how difficult my life would be if I were to help you.

The Taoist and Demon Clans are at odds.

Taoist Master Suying was indeed vicious. But maybe...

I just want to spend the rest of my life without worrying about food and drink and live free from worries.

It's no doubt dangerous to help you.

So this is...

She may be cruel to you.

But from the Taoists' point of view, there must be a lot of Taoists who applaud her.

Do you think this is funny?

If the Heart Protecting Scale is on my body, as you said, you'll stab me whenever you want to break the seal.

That isn't anything anyone can endure, right?

Besides, no one knows how many pieces Master Suying cut off. How long will it take to find them all?

Dragon horns, dragon heart, and dragon veins. We only have three places to go.

I think it's better that we bid farewell now. Farewell.

Aren't you afraid I might make you suffer excruciating pain by activating the Heart Protecting Scale?

I'm too timid and cowardly to take on the responsibility of helping you.

I will consider the pain caused by the Heart Protecting Scale to be the price for living longer.

If I die, the Heart Protecting Scale will no longer work.

You won't be able to live, either.

Can you decide on your life and death at this moment?

As you said, Master Suying sealed you instead of killing you because she wanted you to live.

She doesn't want the power of the dragon-scale armor to dissipate so the person she loves can live forever.

I don't think you have the power to control your death, right?

Take care.

I admit I have no power over my death.

But it's easy if Suying wants you dead.

Along the way, I heard Master Suying seemed to have found her missing lover.

She searched for so many years and finally found him.

This time, she would want to seek eternal life for him even more.

Perhaps she has already started looking for the missing Heart Protecting Scale.

Without the Heart Protecting Scale, you'll die within three days.

- You wouldn't dare to betray me! - How is that betraying?

We are both in the same boat.

If I wanted to betray anyone, I could only betray myself.

But it's not bad to use you as a cover.

How dare you threaten me.

I'm not helping you.

You better tell Suying where I am, so we can die together.

I must not let her wander about.

It would be troublesome if she ran into those from Guanghan Sect.

The dragon horns can help the dragon demon absorb the spirit power of heaven and earth.

Now that the dragon demon has retrieved the dragon bone, he will next go for the dragon horns.

The Dragon Horn Formation in Yongzhou has been reinforced.

As long as the dragon demon goes there, he'll be knocked down in one blow.

Sect Leader, we'll be able to retrieve the Heart Protecting Scale soon.

Young Master Lu has a chance to stay with you forever.

I'll go to Yongzhou myself.
