♫ At dawn, I open my eyes ♫

♫ The night eventually disperses, arriving at the story's end ♫

♫ If anyone asks, I've never had regrets ♫

♫ I have marked you with my touch, leaving traces of our entanglement ♫

♫ Saying goodbye is not a parting ♫

♫ Why so rushed to add the period? ♫

♫ In an instant, my longing for you, spilled to the horizon ♫

♫ The barren land is singing; the ground is remaining silent ♫

♫ Light penetrates the sea; flowers bloom among the dust ♫

♫ The mayfly gazes upon the sky, vowing to pursue the light ♫

♫ My soul is searching for the time rift ♫

♫ And the path to you ♫

[Back From The Brink]

[Episode 8]

Just admit your defeat.

I'll never admit defeat.

Invincible Wind-and-Fire Wheels!

Tianyao, face it head on!

What?

Right now!

Jump!

Do a backflip!

We won!

Tianyao, we won!

End of the match!

Together, Self-Cultivator Yanhui and her familiar, Lucky Carp, win!

Not bad.

Tianyao, how are you? Are you all right?

- I'm fine. - I'm glad you're fine.

It's all thanks to me, right?

Yes.

If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have suffered so many punches.

When a familiar is injured, the owner feels the pain, too.

I wasn't having a great time, either.

Besides, it's because you're not good at fighting.

You punch like you're scratching an itch.

If it were me, I would've knocked it out in three punches.

Three punches.

Help me up.

Heavenly Origin Tapir is useless now. Let's go.

The defeated familiar has been put to death.

How could this happen?

When a familiar is abandoned by its master in the Arena, death is the only outcome.

[Couple Trial]

Congratulations to you both for passing my trial. [Couple Trial]

Taoist Master, I failed you again.

Forgive me, Taoist Master. My cultivation is too weak.

Useless.

- Get lost. - Yes, Master.

[Forgotten Words Establishment]

Those two said they were going to scout out the Arena.

It's already dark, and they haven't come back yet.

Could something have happened to them?

Miss, don't worry.

Miss Yan is lively, and they're probably having fun.

It's possible that they're just coming back late.

Xiange.

Young Master Feng? Are you all right?

Yes, I'm fine.

Looks like Feng Ming didn't give you a hard time.

He didn't.

But...

- What's wrong? - Your two friends didn't enter the honored guest area for some reason.

Instead, they became participants in the fighting competition.

- What? - Don't worry.

They won today's match and are safe now.

But tomorrow, they'll start the next match immediately.

Yuli, come with me to rescue them.

I can help you.

No, thanks.

Feng Ming is already suspicious of you.

You don't need to endanger yourself for me.

I don't want you to be in any danger, either.

But one of them is a demon.

Would you still be willing to save them?

Yes, I'm willing.

You don't have to force yourself for my sake.

Yuli, see our guest off.

This way, please.

[Qijue Hall]

Hall Master, Miss Xiange seems to have left the Forgotten Words Establishment and will take action.

I don't want Xiange to take any risks.

Before she takes action, I'll try to buy those two from Feng Ming.

But if I don't make it back today...

you must give this to Xiange.

From then onward, all matters of Qijue Hall will be handed over to Xiange.

Yes, sir.

Sir, take these ten golden beans.

Please make an exception for me.

Fine.

You only have one hour. Be quick about it.

Thank you.

Tianyao, this is medicine for your external injuries.

Take it for now.

We can't fight in the second match tomorrow.

I don't want to watch you die,

nor do I want to see other monsters die because of us.

I'm getting you out of here.

Have you thought of a plan?

That's why I came here to discuss it with you.

If I could use my magic, this place wouldn't be able to trap me.

But as soon as I entered this place, I lost my spiritual power.

Do you know why?

After we were separated, the person in charge took away the spirit token and still hasn't returned it to me.

Could it be related to the spirit token?

Where are they keeping the spirit token?

It's hung on a wooden ring full of spiritual power that can collect spirit tokens on its own.

I think it also had a swirling cloud pattern on it. It looked very expensive.

Universal Divine Wood.

What is that?

One hundred years ago, there was an immortal from the Taoist clan who loved collecting familiars.

He collected so many of them that he began to worry that these familiars would unite and rebel against him.

He was so worried that he couldn't sleep at night

so he found the Universal Divine Wood that counteracts the spirit token contract

and borrowed the power of this mystical wood

to dissolve the spiritual power of the contracted familiars.

By doing this, he could sleep soundly every night without any worries.

So...

It's not a hopeless situation at the moment.

The Universal Divine Wood only affects the contracted familiars with no restrictions over their masters.

As long as you take my spirit token off the divine wood ring, I can regain my spiritual power.

Then we can figure out how to break out of this dungeon.

It's that simple?

Yes, it's that simple.

Then... why are they still here?

Our masters are only here for profit.

After they won the match, they sold us to the Arena.

They have no intention of saving us.

I'm leaving now. Stay here and wait for my return.

Be careful.

If all humans and demons could get along like you and her, that would be great.

The holes on the ground look exactly like the formation triggered on the gate that night.

I think it's that untouchable Starpoint Formation again.

Thief!

What's wrong with you? You scared me.

You want to take that spirit token, right?

I'll help you get it since you have short limbs.

Come on!

Everything seems fine here. There's nothing strange here.

That's odd. I definitely heard noise from here just now.

Senior Brother, I think you're too nervous. The Starpoint Formation has already been set up here.

Even if a fly comes in, it wouldn't dare to land.

Besides, it's very late now. We should go back and rest early.

Taoist Master Suying ordered us to patrol this area so we must not slack off.

Let's go and check the lower level.

All right.

They're gone. We're safe now.

You have the nerve to say that? It was all your fault.

If you weren't clumsy, they wouldn't have noticed.

Let's put that aside for now. I'm here to help you.

Help me? Just last night, you wanted to kill me.

How many times have you changed your story these past few days? You're so quick to change your mind.

It was all a misunderstanding.

Right now, I only want you to rescue your familiar.

What are your ulterior motives?

Of course, I have ulterior motives.

But getting that token is your top priority now, isn't it?

Cut the nonsense and get it.

All right.

Help me out.

Easy.

Now, go and save your familiar.

Thank you.

Tianyao.

What is he doing here?

Him? I asked him.

He does have ulterior motives toward us, but he can get us out of here today.

And you believed him?

You...

Hey, wait.

Please don't quarrel because of me.

I'll just be honest. For the past few years, I've been searching

for a pair of Taoist-spirit lovers who are deeply in love with each other.

My previous mischief toward you was to test your affection toward each other.

So I apologize for that.

But now I know that you two are truly devoted to each other through thick and thin.

If we look at your appearances, they're truly among the best in this world.

How compatible.

[Couple Trial]

You're pretty thorough.

Take a look at this. The first two criteria are usually easy to meet. [Beauty, Virtue]

But where do you two stand out?

You two stand out in your extreme loyalty and trust toward each other.

Tell me. Why are you looking for lovers?

Because I have something only a pair of Taoist-demon lovers who are deeply in love can help me complete.

I won't help you with that. I have my own things to do.

All right. I'll leave then.

- Wait, wait, wait. - Don't stop me.

- Don't stop me. - Don't...

Don't reject him so soon. We can always discuss it.

If you want us to help you, shouldn't you get us out of here first?

I can get you out.

But he must get back what belongs to him.

You know his identity, don't you? He's so weak without his item.

Even if you get us out, we'll be too weak.

Not only will we not be able to help you, we might even cause trouble.

So can we help him retrieve his item first?

You have a point. I'll help you.

What? You don't want my help?

Do you know who helped you get this?

Him. He got it.

The thing I need is in the Arena's lowest level.

To go down, we must use the wooden mechanism outside.

But right now, there are a lot of Guanghan Sect disciples outside.

It won't be easy to deal with them.

What are you afraid of?

You have me.

Only by getting the dragon horns can I save them.

Help!

Who are you?

I hit someone.

Wait right there!

Come get me.

There are so many of them.

You don't need to bring so many.

- Stop right there! - Hold it right there!

Stop! After him!

- Get him! - After him!

This monster is pretty smart.

If possible, I'd like him to sign a servitude contract with me too.

We don't know his origin. Don't trust him.

All right. Let's go.

Come on.

[Arena, Level 18]

[Level 18 Arena Gate]

The entrance to Level 18 is blocked.

My dragon horns

are inside.

[Heavenly Fragrance Workshop]

My dear nephew, what urgent matter brings you here at this late hour?

Uncle,

I can't forget the woman named Yanhui that I saw today.

I think of her all the time. So I could only come to bother you.

Uncle.

- Ridiculous. - Don't reject me just yet.

This Arena is a place for making profits after all.

Why not sell that woman and her familiar to me?

Do you want the familiar too?

That Lucky Carp is adorable.

Adorable?

All monsters in the world are despicable and hateful criminals.

Qianshuo, don't forget how your parents

and my wife and children were cruelly killed by monsters.

When you turned 20, I gave you this painting... as a reminder of this vengeance. [Parental Love]

So you can join me and kill all the monsters in the world.

It has only been a few years, but you have become so ridiculous.

Are you certain my parents were killed by the familiars?

My dear nephew, what do you mean by that?

Although I was only a child when my parents passed away,

I still remember that my father was always in charge of the Feng family.

After your wife and children were killed, you repeatedly suggested building a place to retaliate against monsters.

But my father refused.

It wasn't until he died that you took over the Feng family

and used several generations of the Feng family's wealth to build this Arena.

If I wanted to be technical, I should be the inheritor of the Feng family property.

Why do I have to grovel and beg you just for one familiar?

[Parental Love]

What are you doing?

Since it's already a mess, who cares if there's a Starpoint Formation?

After I break this door and retrieve your horns, we'll get out of here.

Break? How are you going to break it?

With my strong fists.

What kind of look are you giving me?

Let me tell you. I've already reached the peak of my martial arts skills.

Breaking through this wall is not a problem.

Move aside. Or you might get splattered with blood.

Wait.

If the Heaven-Repairing Stone could be broken by your fist, the whole sky would have collapsed.

Heaven-Repairing Stone?

This arena even obtained the Heaven-Repairing Stone

for the sake of constructing this mystical formation.

If we take a bit of it back, we can sell it for a lot of money.

Watch out!

Are you trying to get yourself killed?

I didn't know he had hidden the formation in the door.

He actually set a formation within the Heaven-Repairing Stone.

What a crafty move.

There are more traps!

Wind dissolves ice, fire illuminates the heavens. Obey!

Hurry! Get inside the barrier.

Can't you make it bigger?

With my current dragon bone power, I can't break this formation.

I need you to use the power of your mind's eye to melt it.

You want me to learn it right now?

Recall how it felt when you used your mind's eye to defeat the Shebishi.

Okay.

Remember my hand seal.

- With my dragon knowledge... - With my dragon knowledge...

- With my breath... - With my breath...

- With my immortal body... - With my immortal body...

- And never-ending hellfire... - And never-ending hellfire...

- Attack! - Attack!

I have also been practicing a little on my own.

It's true that I have some spiritual power.

But I can only use this much.

Why don't we think of another way?

After all these years,

are you trying to accuse me of fratricide?

Of course not, Uncle.

I won't fight with you for the inheritance.

I just want the familiar.

Why make things difficult for me?

What exactly is the background of the master and familiar that you're so desperate to own them?

Uncle, just tell me if you'll sell them or not.

If you really want them, I can make an exception. But you'll have to trade them with Qijue hall.

Uncle, you must be joking.

What does Qijue Hall have to do with me?

At this point, there's no need to hide from me anymore.

My dear nephew,

there are no secrets in this world.

I must unlock your mind's eye to activate more of the Heart Protecting Scale's power.

- If you're worried... - It's fine. Stop wasting time. Hurry.

Can you feel it now?

It seems to have opened.

There is a small pond

in my mind's eye.

Let's make do with that.

Follow my breathing and feel the surge of spiritual power in your body.

Finger as a sword. Form the seal.

- With my dragon knowledge... - With my dragon knowledge...

- with my breath, - with my breath,

- with my immortal body, - with my immortal body,

- and never-ending hellfire. - And never-ending hellfire.

- Attack! - Attack!

The power of dragon fire.

Let us out!

Let us out!

Let us out!

Uncle, the place is collapsing.

Oh no.

I should leave now.

Mother, look. It's raining monsters.

Miss, it seems that someone has beaten us to it.

Don't wait for me here. Take advantage of the chaos and take the twelve young masters

- to rescue these monsters back to the underground palace. - Yes.

Young Master Feng?

- Young Master Feng! - Young Master Feng!

What are you doing here?

I've been looking for you everywhere. Hurry back before anyone notices you.

Feng Ming has close ties with the Guanghan Sect.

The Arena was blown up, they will investigate and pursue this matter to the end.

- I don't want you to be implicated. - I won't go back. I won't sit by and watch them die.

These are just a group of monsters.

- If you get involved in this mess, the Guanghan Sect will surely— - That's enough.

Let's stop arguing.

- Yuli, send him back to Qijue Hall. Then we'll take action immediately. - Yes.

You...

Yanhui.

Yanhui.

Yanhui!

Yanhui.

Hurry, get up.

Are you all right?

I'm all right.

I didn't know I would be this powerful.

I also didn't expect the small pond of your mind's eye could produce such power.

It turns out that using the spiritual energy of the mind's eye is exhausting.

I feel a little dizzy now.

Are those the dragon horns?

What is this?

Suying?

This is... it's Suying's primordial spirit.

Let's get out of here.

The demon dragon, Tianyao.

You're finally here.

Suying's cultivation technique has become so powerful.

I never thought you would walk right into my trap.

Hand over the Heart Protecting Scale.

Bai Xiaosheng, are you all right?

I'm glad both of you are still alive.

Let's go.

Yanhui.

-Yanhui. -Xiange?

Xiange, what are you doing here?

I heard you took part in the beast fighting.

I was worried something might happen to you. Quick, come with me.

Come on.

Taoist Master. Taoist Master.

Immortal, where's the Taoist Master?

She's cultivating. No one should disturb her.

I'm glad she's fine.

A mere spell like this could never hurt the Taoist Master.

But the demon dragon entered your arena without anyone noticing.

Forgive me, Immortal.

My Arena has always been heavily guarded.

Such a mistake would never happen.

The demon dragon that managed to infiltrate the Arena and blow it up

must have something to do with my nephew, Feng Qianshuo.

Feng Qianshuo?

Yes, it's him.

He repeatedly asked me for the master and the familiar.

He even deliberately lured me away today.

I originally thought he just wanted a plaything.

I didn't expect him to collude with those spirits. It's unforgivable.

I warned you to be careful of this person.

But you were still so careless.

Immortal, you're right.

As long as we catch Feng Qianshuo, we'll be able to find the demon dragon's whereabouts.

However, he has been growing his power behind my back over the years.

With my power alone, I'm afraid...

You've failed so many times.

And you still have the nerve to find excuses.

Forget it.

I'll send the disciples to assist you.

I won't let you down this time.

I'll take my leave now.

Congratulations, Sect Master. The pill that will restore Young Master Lu's memory has finally been refined.

The demon dragon infiltrated this place.

Yet, the Guanghan Sect's disciples stationed here were completely unaware.

Today, all disciples who were guarding the place today

will have one of their Immortal Stars stripped away. Tell them to cultivate all over again.

Yes, Ma'am.

This demon dragon has so much power just from retrieving the dragon bones.

There was also a man and a woman with him.

Go investigate. I want to know who they are.

Yes, Ma'am.

-What is this? -What's that?

Sect Master, you trapped the entire city of Yongzhou with the power of the Dragon Horn Formation.

Starting today, search every house in Yongzhou City to find the demon dragon.

It'll be impossible for them to escape.
