[Burning Flames]

[Episode 34]

Building a new world

is a beautiful wish.

But if one day

the three realms are wiped out,

can Illusion Island stay aloof?

Shang.

As your friend,

I don't want to sway you.

But only by refining qi

can mortals

be stronger.

I just need

a portion of the island.

So they can defend themselves

when they're attacked.

Then I'll be

helping you start the war.

So stubborn.

When we were in the mine,

no one believed

we could escape.

But in the end,

we did it.

Shang, trust me.

I can't make the decision.

But I'll ask Chief

if she agrees

to lend you a place for cultivation.

Gou!

Gou, you'd better not

leave me

ever again.

Come on.

I

won't leave you.

Remember.

Are you thinking about her?

Uncle Ziyu.

I think there's always a wall

between Bai Cai and I.

Whenever we try

to live well,

fate

would get in the way

and disrupt our peace.

She's part of Immortal Clan now.

She even killed Lan.

I should hate her

like an enemy.

But I can't.

Others might believe in fate,

but I know

your father wouldn't.

I remember

he used to say

that fate

is in your own hands.

People

fight against fate

because things are unpredictable

and fate is full of disasters.

If your father

were someone who compromised,

he'd never had

gone against the immortals' oppression

for the mortals' interests,

or had you with your mother

while risking

condemnation.

Your parents

have been fighting

for the fate of humans.

Now,

it's your and Bai Cai's turn.

Remember what your father said.

Fate

is in your own hands.

Uncle Ziyu.

You've been here for so long.

Do you know

how one can recover

after

their divine spirit has been invaded?

I once heard

the ancient Grand Demon

can read minds.

He might

have the answer.

She agreed

to let you

bring mortals here to refine qi.

But you have to

stay in your area

and not disturb the islanders.

Great!

Shang.

Thank you.

I didn't make

the decision.

Even so,

I know

it's not easy to persuade

Venerable Bai Yue.

We were once

friends

in the mine after all.

Hurry.

Hurry. This way.

Move it over. Hurry.

Hurry up.

Hurry up.

Hurry up.

Hurry.

We're going on an expedition.

Show your drive!

Master!

Master!

Master.

Zhazha.

Where's your father?

Master.

My father asked me to give this to you.

Wu Geng.

I can't go to battle with you

and fight against enemies,

but you can use

Northern Mountain Mine

to help you hide your warships.

This is

all I can do.

The future of everyone in the mine

is in your hands.

I believe you can defeat Immortal Clan.

Master.

What did

my father tell you?

He said

to discipline you strictly,

so you don't cause any more trouble.

My father wouldn't say that!

Zhazha. Remember.

A real man

is a man of his word

and upright,

like your father.

Okay, I can do that.

Master.

I won't let you down.

Mr. Chen Jing,

thank you

for your help in this battle.

I won't let you down.

There's more sunlight here now.

Yes.

A Centurion

called Gou

made many reforms

throughout the mine

and improved

the slaves' lives.

The most important thing

is letting more sunlight

into the mine.

That's why they opened up the mine's ceiling

even more.

Look.

I know this Gou.

When he was in the mine,

he also planted a pot of morning glory.

Morning glory?

Are you talking about that area?

Look over there!

I'll take you there.

There.

Up here. Look.

Be careful.

This area.

All of them.

Sir,

I'll get back to work.

anyone else

♫If it's unforgettable, why do I ponder about it?♫

I've made up my mind.

No matter

you'll always be my Gou.

Nothing.

It's been so long since I had meat.

How are you now?

I'm ready

to head to Immortal Realm.

♫I can see the wind and rain outside the curtain♫

Hang in there.

I'll save you soon.

♫If it's unforgettable, why do I ponder about it?♫

Yang Datou!

Here!

Ming!

Here!

Your Highness.

These warriors are picked by

Mr. Chen and I

for qi refinement

at Illusion Island.

Liang? You're here too.

Centurion.

You still remember me?

Because of how

you

protected the weak and sickly,

we had

the will to live.

At that time, I swore

to follow you

if I got the chance.

Ridiculous.

How dare you call His Highness

"Centurion"?

It's okay.

Just call me Wu Geng.

You're likely

to die in this endeavor.

Aren't you afraid?

No!

My parents

were killed by immortals.

I must

take revenge.

Take revenge!

Take revenge!

Take revenge!

Take revenge!

Take revenge!

We are

not as powerful

as the immortals.

But we're united

with great teamwork

and fearless.

Go to Illusion Island

and refine qi diligently.

In face of your power,

those immortals

who trampled on you

will tremble!

Okay!

When are we

setting off?

Right away!

Uncle Ziyu.

From now on,

Uncle Ziyu will lead

their cultivation.

Okay.

Your Highness.

On our way here,

you said Illusion Island is dangerous.

How so?

It's so beautiful!

When I first came here,

I thought the same.

But danger will come soon.

So don't let your guard down.

My sword...

To become a qi refiner,

you need to first abandon material weapons,

and then refine qi

and use it to make your own weapon.

Great Swordsman.

Is this refined qi?

Yes.

All refined qi on this island

comes from

the giant tree

behind me.

Places with qi

are full of life.

It keeps circulating

around the island.

General An.

When can we

start cultivating?

Great Swordsman.

Although we're martial artists,

we have no idea how to refine qi.

To achieve something,

it'll take

at least years.

Wouldn't the invasion plan

be delayed?

Don't worry.

One year here

is a day outside.

Geng must have told you.

Yes, he mentioned it.

Okay.

After Bai Cai struck me in the heart,

I fell off the cliff.

Why am I not dead?

I'm even back at Immortal Realm.

Lan, you're awake.

Grand Elder Shen Yan.

Why am I here?

You were hurt by the Crystal Glory.

You should've died.

I saved your life.

But I'm a traitor.

Why did you save me?

It’s Xinyue Kui's business to destroy you.

Now I’m entrusted.

I must be loyal.

Come on. I'll take you to see him.

Then you'll know

why I saved you.

Say whatever

you need to quickly.

The patrolling general

will be here soon.

High Priest!

High Priest.

High Priest.

Lan?

Lan, is that you?

Lan.

Yes, it's me!

Good.

Good girl.

It's useless.

Kid, it's useless.

I'm sorry.

High Priest.

I failed to protect Wu Geng.

Don't cry.

Kid.

You've done well.

High Priest.

Will you die?

Will Wu Geng die?

My Kongshi power

has been taken away by Xinyue Kui.

I can't feel Wu Geng's existence.

But I believe

Wu Geng

won't die so easily.

I also believe

you will live well.

High Priest.

What else can I do?

Kid.

Cooperate with Grand Elder Shen Yan.

He has

the same goal as us.

Rest assured, High Priest.

As you ordered,

I'll listen to Grand Elder Shen Yan.

Good. Good girl.

Go now.

Go now.

Go now.

I'm willing to

die for you.

Good!

Lan.

You're an excellent warrior,

and also smart and sensible.

From now on,

work for me

and you'll get

everything you want.

Thank you, Grand Elder.

Let’s go.

Colorless power?

What happened?

Isn't Wu Geng dead?

Wu Geng's not dead?

The invasion prophecy isn't gone.

Then let him die again.

The divine power

perfectly combined

with refined qi.

Geng.

This trip was worth it.

Great.

As expected of Your Highness.

Shouldn't we say goodbye

to Shang?

During our days here,

Shang never once showed up.

Shang?

I still don't agree

with your

revenge philosophy.

But we're still friends

who shared weal and woe.

So I'm here to

say a final goodbye.

Final goodbye?

Illusion Island is relocating

to be completely isolated

and stay out of the three realms' disputes.

I'm moving with it.

Shang, don't worry.

We are going to

end the three realms' disputes.

I hope you keep your promise.

Deal.

Deal.

You, use Kongshi power

to find him.

He went to Demon Realm?

Got it.

I'll ask Tai Ji and Liu Yue

to go with you...

How arrogant.

Nitian Erxing and the 13 Generals

are still at Demon Realm.

Are you so sure

you can kill Wu Geng?

If she fails

and gets hurt,

how can I explain to Immortal King?

I purposely released

my Colorless power.

Looks like you received my message.

Did you lure me here

to take revenge?

No.

To help you find yourself.

Ridiculous.

Do you think

such demonic formation

will work?

Let's find out.

Wu Geng, it's up to you.

Wu Geng, don't waste your energy.

Don't try to inspire me

with your love.

It's useless!

Since I made it in,

I'm confident.

Cut the crap and get out!

Burning your

divine spirit?

How stupid and stubborn.

But it's useless against me.

Since you're willing

to die to save others,

I'll grant your wish!

Aren't you giving up?

I never

give up.

See? I told you it'd change.

Wu Geng, Bai Cai's back.

You can take her away.

I've waited for 100,000 years,

just to see the Immortal Clan perish.

Can you make it happen?

We'll do our best.

Thank you, Senior.

Before leaving Illusion Island,

through the messenger crystal,

Nitian Erxin had agreed

to find Yongheng Zhiye

to set up the formation

and wait for you to walk into the trap.

Grand Marshal.

Thank you for all you did for me.

No need.

You should thank Wu Geng.

All this time, he took care of you

and protected you,

determined

to save you.

Bai Cai.

We've

been through so much together.

Nothing would make me

abandon you

at the critical moment.

So I never gave up.

Because I knew

you'd come.

All right,

we can talk

after we win the battle.

I've assembled my men.

We can set out anytime.

Uncle Ziyu and General An

are leading the mortal warriors

to the mine.

But if the demon army

and the mortal warriors gather in the mine,

it might alert Immortal Clan.

Chen Jing said,

four months later,

bloodstones

will be transported to Immortal Realm.

For now,

let's prepare for the battle separately.

When the time is right,

we can gather in the mine and set out.

I'll send my order now.

Let's go.

What's wrong, Bai Cai?

Gou, I remember everything.

I threw you off the cliff.

I also killed Lan and Zi Dian.

How can I face

Shenyin Clan?

You used the Crystal Glory

to detoxify me

and it backfired.

Trust me.

No matter what may come,

I'll face it with you.

Don't be afraid.

Let's go.

The prophecy scene has appeared.

Wu Geng's still alive indeed.

That's great.

Murderer!

You killed Lan and Zi Dian!

Pay with your life!

Murderer!

Wu Xia, you fool.

Don't attack her.

She might kill you too.

Everyone, calm down.

Listen to me.

Bai Cai has recovered.

She won't kill again.

I brought her back

to apologize to you.

I'm sorry.

I killed

Lan and Zi Dian.

On my way back from Demon Realm,

I've been thinking

about how

I can ask for your forgiveness.

But if I were in your shoes,

I wouldn't forgive someone

whom I treated as family

murdering me either.

So I can't

forgive myself.

Maybe...

I can only atone with my death.

Who knows if

you're lying again?

I'm sorry.

I was wrong.

If I have to die to apologize,

can you give me some time?

Let me join you

in the invasion

to seek justice

and take revenge

on Xinyue Kui.

If I come back alive,

I'll be

at your disposal.

You shouldn't

even have come back this time.

Wu Geng.

The Heaven-Breaking Army has many people.

We don't need her.

Why are you rubbing salt in the wound

by bringing her back?

I didn't

bring her back for nothing.

Senior.

I just don't understand one thing.

How is Bai Cai related to

Immortal Clan?

She is a key

that Hei Long has been looking for

for 100,000 years.

Key?

In the war 100,000 years ago,

Hei Long defeated

Gen Gu, the former Immortal Clan leader,

and Gen Gu

and the other Grand Immortals' spirits

were dispersed.

So, Gen Gu used his remaining power to seal

their divine spirits

in the Crystal Mountain

and threw the crystal key

out of Immortal Realm.

The key circulated in the three realms

before disappearing.

If Hei Long

gets this power,

then...

He'll have

the power to destroy the world.

Only by bringing Bai Cai back

can we ensure

a successful invasion.

Wu Geng.

Are you sure Bai Cai's

no longer under their control?

I've helped her

get rid of her dark spirit.

She won't be controlled anymore.

I swear on my life,

Bai Cai won't hurt

any of us

anymore.

Please trust her

and me.

Give her a chance

to fight with everyone.

The war is near.

I believe

she'll make amends

with her actions.

We'll keep that in mind.

We'll deal with her after the invasion.

Keep your promise.

Come back alive,

so

I can avenge Lan myself!

Okay, Wu Xia. Wait for me.

Come on.

Thank you, Gou.

I'd be lost

without you.

They just need

some time to

make peace with it.

Bai Cai has regained consciousness?

Immortal King, don’t worry.

I will bring Bai Cai back.

Your plan won't be ruined.

Clan Leader, thank you

for re-accepting Bai Cai.

Re-accept?

It's not that easy.

Since you and Bai Cai

came to Shenyin Village,

everyone treated you

as family.

We saw

our trusted Bai Cai

kill our people.

Rationally, I know

Bai Cai was controlled,

but I still

can't get over it.

I brought her

into this whirlpool,

such that the immortals

found a chance to use her

to hurt my friends.

But I believe

you know just as well

how kind and innocent Bai Cai is.

She'd never hurt anyone.

I hope everyone

wouldn't treat her as an enemy,

and give her some time

to regain

everyone's trust.

I know.

Don't worry.

We've lost

Lan and Zi Dian.

We can't lose

any more comrades.

Thank you, Clan Leader.

The mortal warriors

under Uncle Ziyu and General An's lead

and the demon army

under Nitian Erxing's lead

have assembled here.

We'll set off soon.

I'll order everyone

to be prepared.

Bei.

Gou told me

about you

saving him at sea.

Thank you for saving him.

You're welcome.

Gou?

Do you mean Wu Geng?
