[Back From The Brink]

[Adapted from the novel of the same name in jjwxc.net by Jiu Lu Fei Xiang]

[Episode 10]

This is the pair of master and familiar who blew up the Arena

together with my nephew, Feng Qianshuo.

[Master: Yanhui, Familiar: Lucky Carp]

Yanhui?

Immortal, do you know her?

I've overstepped my boundaries.

Sir!

This is bad! We're in trouble!

The immortal of the Guanghan Sect is here.

Mind your manners.

It doesn't matter.

What's the matter?

What?

- Where is he? - - Sir, please pardon me.

Useless fool! You couldn't even keep an eye on him?

What's the use of keeping you around?

Sir, please pardon me! I kept a close eye on him all day long.

I didn't even dare to blink. I swear upon my fortunes and life

that no one entered or left the room!

The barrier within the room isn't damaged.

Could it be that he vanished suddenly?

If that's the case, most of the monsters

that escaped from the Arena a few days ago did vanish too.

Seems like there are others who are helping the monsters out

besides your nephew.

I don't care if it's spirits or humans.

It's impossible for them to vanish without a trace.

Since there's no one on the surface,

they can only be underground.

Even if you have to dig a pit, you must capture him!

Yes, sir!

Master Feng, calm down.

Master Suying's seal penetrated the ground long ago.

The entire Yongzhou City is a cage from top to bottom.

No matter how they struggle, it's futile.

Since they're digging their own graves,

let's put on the coffin lid for them.

Yes, Immortal.

When you're living under someone else's roof,

you need to learn how to take something on the chin.

That's right. This is the monsters' den.

- You need to follow our customs. - What are you trying to do?

What's with that smug attitude?

What's the commotion?

Who's this?

Isn't this the Young Master of the Feng family?

Miss Yan, do you know him?

Great. I'll leave him to you.

We cannot serve a noble person

like the Young Master of the Feng family.

- Ninth, let's go. - That's right. See you, Miss Yan.

What are you doing here?

- I'm here to look for you. - Why is that so?

Thanks to you, my identity, which I had hidden for ten years, was exposed.

Now, Guanghan Sect has labeled me as a criminal who blew up the Arena.

That's why I'm here who blew up the Arena.

I can tell that you aren't doing great.

Let me ask you something.

Did you think I gave you the golden phoenix feather

so that you could join the beast gladiatorial game?

You still dare to say that? What kind of stupid arena was that?

There's no VIP tunnel. It leads people to the registration counter.

You were sending us to our deaths!

No one else died. Why did you think you would die?

Why are you blaming me when you took the wrong path? Yes.

I know the Arena has been committing atrocities for a long time.

However, it's not like we don't have other ways to deal with it.

Acquiring it, purchasing it, and reforming it.

All of these could work. But you? You just had to blow it up!

You're so annoying! Stop nagging me!

I don't know why Xiange fell for a person like you!

- What did you say? - Stop nagging me!

The next line!

I don't know why Xiange fell for a person like you!

Is that true?

Xiange, I made you some soup.

Thank you. Do you feel better?

Why do you have the Flower Medallion?

The waiter you employed you left behind.

He told me to take it.

The situation was unpredictable before this.

I did prepare this beforehand.

But now, I'm still alive.

Xiange, are you willing to return it to me?

Mr. Feng, how could you take something back

when you had given it to someone?

I require it for what I'm about to do later.

What exactly is this?

Is it that important?

This is a treasure of communication

my father found when he was traveling around.

Initially, it was called Loving Phoenix.

However, my mother detested the name. So she changed it to Flower Medallion.

I used it to create Qijue Agency's intelligence network.

So, it's used to relay information?

Not just that, all of the secret information

that Qijue Agency had gathered could be found with it.

- Without any limits? - Without any limits.

Great. Mr. Feng, please pass a message

to Qingqiu that Princess Yunxi was captured by Suying.

So, did you save me

just so you could relay information to Qingqiu?

I cannot help you out.

But why?

The Nine-Tailed Fox Clan of Qingqiu values their bloodline.

Everyone knows that.

If they hear about what Suying had done,

war will erupt between Taoists and spirits.

Mr. Feng, are you going to stand idly by then?

I remember that the Qijue Agency never owes people any favors.

- You can take my life. However, I cannot do this. - You...

By saving this person, you'll drag the people of Yongzhou

into a war between Taoists and spirits.

If you don't do it,

I'll send you back to Feng Ming.

- You won't do that. I... Fine.

You have your faith while I have my own favors to repay.

Mr. Feng, I won't put you on the spot.

I will relay this information myself.

- No! - I have to go!

(Hello, Master. I'm glad to be of your service.)

Relay Princess Yunxi...

(Yes, Master. Latest news. She has already been killed by Suying.)

Be careful.

Here.

How far away are we from Yongzhou City?

- Only half a li left! - We need to speed up.

Yes, sir!

Buddy, let's go!

Are you okay?

What's the matter?

We're in trouble.

- Your Majesty. - The Dragon King is here to get food for that lady again.

Seems like the Dragon King does care about the lady.

He didn't even want her to walk.

Precisely.

Yuli, what's with the flustered look?

Suying's barrier has penetrated the underground.

There's no escape.

Everyone, using the Dragon Horn Formation,

Suying has sealed off the entire Yongzhou City

from top to bottom.

We're like birds trapped in a cage now.

We're done for.

I haven't brought you guys out to complete my task yet.

If we don't have a solution to this,

they'll discover us sooner or later.

If you can relay Princess Yunxi's death to Qingqiu,

with the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan's interference,

we still might be able to escape.

I cannot do so.

If news of this gets out, war will erupt between Taoists and spirits,

and Yongzhou will be implicated.

It's my turn to speak.

The Arena was blown to bits. It's a huge deal.

Many people have heard it.

Do you truly think that you can hide this news from them?

Moreover, Princess Yunxi is the favorite daughter

of the ruler of Qingqiu.

Do you think he'll let us off?

That's all I'm going to say.

Yongzhou City will be done for eventually

We should use this opportunity to our advantage instead.

What? How dare you look at me like that?

What's wrong, miss? Did I say something wrong?

Who exactly are you?

Wait. Right now, shouldn't we discuss...

No matter what, shouldn't we discuss... this news to them.

If no one is protecting Yongzhou City, I'll protect it.

Did you even listen to my words?

I said, Yongzhou City will be done for eventually.

You have no authority to speak!

What are you trying to protect? What are you saying?

So what if you own this place?

- It's just an underground cave! - Enough. Stop arguing.

- So what if I'm richer than you? - Beat me up if you're that capable.

Stop it! Shut up!

Sit down!

Why are you guys arguing? Huh? Do you think it'll be of help?

Right now, no matter if we wish to relay the news to Qingqiu

or leave Yongzhou,

first, we have to lift the seal on the dragon horns.

Only by lifting the seal on the dragon horns

will we be able to leave Yongzhou safely and stay alive.

You two can do whatever you want after we leave Yongzhou.

You can argue with whomever you like.

Yanhui is right. You!

The dragon horns are yours, right?

Tell us. How do we lift the seal?

We have to depend on you.

Me?

What do you mean?

I only possess a minuscule amount of spiritual power in my mind's eye.

If you only lack spiritual power in your mind's eye,

you can ask it.

What is that?

Don't tell me it can speak?

(I can.)

(Regarding the way to boost one's spiritual power in a short period, the answer is...)

Everyone, Suying of the Guanghan Sect used the seal on the dragon horns to form a magical formation

and sealed off Yongzhou City.

We cannot escape through the underground.

Our only way is to assist Tianyao in lifting the dragon horns' seal.

Only then will we be able to leave.

Spirit Dragon is the leader of the spirits.

It's our duty to help His Majesty to retrieve his dragon horns!

Yes! It's our duty! It's our duty!

I need all of your help.

Lend your spiritual power to Yanhui.

What?

Why?

Why must we lend our spiritual power to a Taoist?

That's right!

Anyway, I don't believe in Taoists.

She's different.

She helped us before.

Taoists are devious and cunning.

I still don't believe them.

Yeah! We don't believe them!

-They mustn't be trusted!-They killed my family!

We mustn't lend her our powers!

We mustn't!

We mustn't.

That's right. We mustn't.

If you wish to lift the seal,

you have to lend your powers to her.

Why should we lend our powers to her?

Why must we lend it to them?

-Yeah, why?-That's right.

I trust you!

You risked your life to save the Dragon King in the Arena.

You retrieved his spirit token for him.

That was how we were able to escape from that hell safely.

I trust you!

I trust the Dragon King too!

I trust them!

Although I'm not willing to trust a Taoist,

I'm willing to trust the Dragon King!

He's right.

Tianyao,

I'll definitely retrieve the dragon horns for you.

I'll definitely help you guys

escape from Yongzhou City safely.

All right! I trust you!

Trust in the Dragon King!

Trust in the Dragon King!

Trust in the Dragon King!

Trust in the Dragon King!

How is it?

It's not good enough.

I'm just worried that I might not perform like normal when I have to retrieve the dragon horns.

Let me help you out.

Can you please knock on the door before coming in next time?

How?

I'm just frustrated.

Your relationship with him is breaking down because of a tiny matter like this.

That's why I've decided to assist you in breaking the magical formation.

I'll make sure you succeed.

Are you that powerful?

Hey.

Just like him, I'm an immortal too.

If that's the case, why don't you lend her your spiritual power then?

She won't be able to use it.

But I can use it to protect her.

If so, why don't you let me assess your mind's eye's spiritual power?

I'll be able to tell if she can use your power or not.

You don't need to keep your guard up.

Listen.

At least for now, you and I are trying to leave Yongzhou City together.

Dragon, you want to launch a feint attack, right?

Tell Mr. Feng and Miss Xiange to lure Feng Ming away.

You can lure Suying away.

Give Yanhui the time and space she needs to break the magical formation.

Once she breaks the Dragon Horn Formation,

I can steal the dragon horns and return them to you without anyone knowing.

I'm the shadow.

I'm the best candidate for this task.

He has a point.

No.

What's wrong again?

This concerns the safety of everyone here.

We cannot trust him completely yet.

He must be an ingrate.

I've already saved you on numerous occasions.

But you still don't trust me?

You have a point.

I'll ask him to scram.

You!

Get lost! Go away!

Fine!

You ingrate.

You're an ingrate too.

Only I'm not an ingrate.

They're just ungrateful people.

I don't trust people that easily.

Don't worry. I'll follow your instructions.

Bai Xiaosheng?

Are you asleep?

Miss Yan.

You scared me.

I don't think it's appropriate for you

to see me in the middle of the night.

I came here because I thought the idea you mentioned this morning could work.

I wish to discuss with you what to do by then.

I'm not an ingrate.

Also, you've helped us out so many times.

At least, you don't have a reason to sabotage us when it comes to leaving Yongzhou City.

You finally said something decent for once.

It's hard to win Tianyao's trust.

Try to understand his feelings.

After all, he was harmed by humans in the past.

So he had a tragic past.

You understood his past and felt sorry for him.

That's right.

Since this is beneficial to your relationship,

I won't hold it against that ingrate.

I already came up with a plan.

So, on the day we retrieve the dragon horns,

you will hide in my shadow first.

After that, I'll bring you outside.

Once we're outside, after Tianyao leaves, you and I will retrieve the dragon horns.

Once we retrieve the dragon horns, go to Tianyao

and stick the dragon horns to his head.

Sure.

You agreed to it that easily?

You underestimated me.

To me, this is a piece of cake.

Pinky promise.

Do you think child's play like this can restrain me?

If you dare trick me, you'll be worse than a child.

Do not betray my trust.

You've gathered a huge amount of spiritual power.

How do you feel?

I feel much more energetic.

However, I'm still not confident that I can lift the seal on the dragon horns.

Take your time. Don't rush it.

You're behaving normally even though you've absorbed all the spiritual power from those monsters?

The spirit of heaven and earth came from the same source.

There's no difference between a Taoist's power and a spirit's.

To put it simply, they're the same thing.

Of course there's no difference.

(Warning!)

(According to our informant,)

(the disciples of the Guanghan Sect have started to search underground.)

(Warning!)

(According to our informant,)

(the disciples of the Guanghan Sect have started to search underground.)

Can we believe this thing?

I'm sure they found out that I was missing.

That's why they're searching underground.

If that's the case, we can't remain here for long.

I need to head to the surface and distract them.

No.

The surface is crawling with their men.

Don't worry. I know what to do.

I've learned something from living in Yongzhou City all these years.

I'll tag along.

No need for that.

This happened because of me.

How could I stand idly by while you risk your life?

All right then.

Xiange,

please be careful.

See you under the sun.

(It's my first time shouldering the lives of this many people.)

(This time, I cannot afford to lose.)

Miss!

Miss!

Ninth and I... Miss! We finished the tunnel.

The tunnel leads to a remote corner in Yongzhou City.

No one will discover you two if you use this tunnel.

All right. It must've been tough.

Not at all.

I was a pangolin. And Ninth was a gopher.

Digging holes is our expertise.

Don't bring that up.

What's wrong with being a gopher?

Everyone has been praising you for your efficiency.

I told you to stop it.

How dare you push me?

So what if I push you?

-You're noisy.-Touch me if you dare.

Xiange,

we have to go.

Yuli, remember to hide the entrance after we reach the surface.

Miss, it's dangerous up there.

It's too risky for you to leave now.

However, we cannot just stay here forever.

We'll be cornered eventually.

It's better to leave now.

At least we can be on the offensive.

Don't worry. Mr. Feng and I know Yongzhou like the back of our hands.

We can lure Feng Ming and the disciples of the Guanghan Sect away while we're up there.

We'll buy time for Yanhui to recover her spiritual power so that she can retrieve the dragon horns.

Why don't you send me there?

You have more important affairs to attend to.

Come.

Miss, why have you summoned us?

Twelve Young Misters, follow my order.

After my departure,

you all must protect the weaker monsters.

Once the seal on Yongzhou has been lifted,

you all will escort the monsters out of Yongzhou.

And

never come back.

But...

Survive.

That's my last order to you all.

You guys will be free once you leave Yongzhou.

Miss, thank you for taking care of us all these years.

I should thank you guys instead.

Here.

We'll follow our previous plan.

Let's distract Feng Ming and the rest

so that they won't search underground.

I know what he cares about.

We'll cause a ruckus in his territory.

A huge ruckus.

[Wangyu Tower]

How is it? Did you find anything?

No.

It seems like this place has been closed for some days.

There's not a single soul here.

Let's search somewhere else.

You guys may not know,

but the owner of Wangyu Tower had over ten familiars with her.

Now that she isn't here, I'm sure there's something more to it.

-Something more to it?- Something more to it?

Besides, the owner of Wangyu Tower was close to my nephew.

This place might be...

Sir!

What?

I think someone blew up our building again.

Another one?

That's a warehouse nearby Tianxiang Workshop.

I'm sure that villain is destroying my workshop.

Immortal, the villain is offering herself to us.

Let's go!

Let's go! Follow me!

Let's go!

They're here.

Aren't you afraid?

I said this before.

I've been living in Yongzhou City for many years.

The underground city isn't the only thing I've built.

Let's go.

What a coincidence.

The Qijue Agency has done more than just gather intelligence in Yongzhou City all these years.

So, which place are we heading to?

We're blowing up your properties.

You make the call here.

All right.

Bring me to your properties then.

Let's go.

Put off the fire! Hurry!

Now!

Come! Quick!

Let's go!

After retrieving the dragon bone,

I can gather spiritual power much faster.

I might be able to stall Suying for a longer time during crucial moments.

What's the matter?

It's not going well?

I've absorbed the spiritual power of all the monsters here.

However, in my mind's eye, my spiritual power remains weak.

That's all the spiritual power I have after ten years of Taoist training.

Can I really do this?

You should stop pulling a long face.

If it doesn't work out, I can share some of my spiritual power with you.

That's right.

Since you're so powerful, you must possess a huge amount of spiritual power.

How vast is your mind's eye?

You see, I can't reveal too many details.

I can only transfer some of my spiritual power to you in secret.

However, you must keep it a secret.

Treat it as a secret between us adults, okay?

(I need all the spiritual power I can get.)

(I mustn't let Xiange and the rest down.)

Sure.

Okay.

That hurts!

Do you even take my words seriously?

I do...

I'm just trying to gather our strength here.

Besides, I need all the spiritual power I can get.

You didn't need to treat me like that.

Are you angry?

Listen. You're being jealous here.

I was the one who took the initiative. It wasn't her.

Don't blame her. I'm sorry!

I'll apologize to you. Why don't I leave then?

I'll scram.

Don't argue because of me, okay?

It's not worth it.

There's nothing important on his mind.

He only cares about our relationship.

How many times have I told you before?

That man cannot be trusted.

How could you let him enter your mind's eye?

Well, he didn't manage to enter it.

[Wangshu Manor]

Ma'am, Mr. Lu can no longer take any medicine.

The dragon-scale armor isn't strong enough without the Heart Protecting Scale.

Ma'am, transferring spiritual power to Mr. Lu to extend his life isn't viable.

Is there still no news of the Heart Protecting Scale?

Ma'am, please be patient.

The evil dragon is trapped underground.

He won't last for long.

But Musheng won't be able to survive for long either.

Ma'am, if you cast the forbidden spell, you'll suffer the consequences!

Water as a vow, frost as shape.

Erase all obstacles, and follow my will!

Kill.

Yao?

Yao?

Yao.

Are you still angry?

I know you don't like it when people lie to you.

But I did it for a reason.

I was just after his spiritual power.

I did it for everyone's sake.

Besides, it didn't work out anyway.

You trust others too easily.

One day, you'll suffer the consequences.

Why?

You didn't say that when you told me to trust you.

- That's different. - How was it different?

- What? Can I only trust you without trusting others? - I...

So, you can lie to me while the others cannot?

I might be unlucky when it comes to gambling,

but I'm pretty good at judging characters.

And you're one of them.

You should feel honored.

Why does it feel cold all of a sudden?

Watch out!

Someone's in trouble! Go and check it out!

Be careful!

- What is this? - This is Guanghan Sect's forbidden spell.

Suying is trying to chase us out.

Take them somewhere safe.

Yes, sir.

Yuli, why did you stop?

That's the barrier Suying had cast.

- There's no escape. - Are we going to die here?

What should we do then?

- Dragon King. - Dragon King.

Suying is trying to chase us out with her forbidden spell.

We need to bring our plan forward.

Dragon King, what's your plan?

I'll distract Suying.

You'll break the Dragon Horn Formation.

Yuli, stay here.

Once the barrier is removed, take them and leave Yongzhou.

Yes. But now, the tunnel,

which leads to the surfacehas been blocked off.

Let me do it. I can dig another tunnel to the surface.

But now, the surface is no longer the same.

Suying's spell has covered the ground with frost.

You'll die from it.

It's fine. We can head to the surface ourselves.

I've recovered my spiritual power.

- As for Tianyao... - Fifth and I will do it together.

Dragon King needs to battle Suying later.

And Miss Yao, you need to break the Dragon Horn Formation.

The two of you must reserve your strength.

We'll protect ourselves with a spell when we dig the tunnel later.

Don't worry about us.

Okay. If that's the case,

the two of you must escort Dragon King and Miss Yan to the surface safely.

- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.

Dragon King, Miss Yan, please don't fall behind.

Thank you.

Yanhui.

Are you guys okay?

We've fulfilled our duty.

You guys should hide. Leave the rest to us.

Please take care.

Farewell. Let's go.

We must break this barrier

and help them to regain freedom.

Yanhui?

Take care.

You too.

Attack!

Tianyao brought the plan forward.

I'm sure the underground city is no longer safe.

That's why they're risking it all.

Let's head back and help them out.

We have to help them out, but not by returning to the underground city.

Ma'am, that's...

He has finally appeared.

He's actually able to fend it off?
