[The World of Fantasy]

[Episode 8]

[Snowfield, Land of Frost]

[Li Mu, Sword Holder of Mount Heavenly Sword]

I am Li Mu,

asking for permission to meet The Master of Frost.

I am friends with the Frostwolf tribe

as well as The Master of Frost.

Guys,

can't you feel that?

Did your master

want you to stop me

or attack me?

If I take another step further,

are you two going to attack?

Li Mu requests to meet the Master of Frost.

Li Mu requests to meet the Master of Frost.

Li Mu requests to meet the Master of Frost.

How dare you kill my Frostwolf Guards!

The Sword of Wine

will not kill.

They're only drunk.

You came to meet me mad with rage.

I had no choice.

I must greet

an honoured guest from afar properly.

I dare you to stay

in the Frost Land for another 1000 years!

Are you trying to keep me

or trap me here?

Are you really going to be this cruel?

Who's the cruel one here?

[Qin Lie's group on their way to Xingyun Pavilion]

The snowstorm came all of a sudden.

What on earth is that?

Yu Shi!

Yu Shi.

Qin Lie!

Young Master!

Bu Li.

You came back

after you chose to leave.

How shameless.

There was a time

I trained in the Mountains of Frost as a young man.

Back then,

you were an ordinary Frostwolf.

We met each other,

and our minds were in sync,

as if we had known each other for a long time.

So, I kept you by my side

as my companion.

Then,

you abandoned me.

I had to leave.

I couldn't

ascend to a new Realm.

So, I must leave.

I promised you

that I will be back.

All these years,

I have been travelling the world

and experienced numerous dangers

that I almost got to

bath in the rumoured Central Golden Holy Light.

I've finally achieved something.

As a fulfilment of promise, I came back for you.

To my surprise,

I'm not the only one who's made some achievement.

You have become

the lord of Mountains of Frost.

Both of us

have walked our own promising paths.

However,

you can no longer go beyond your current cultivation.

Am I right?

A spirit beast is still a beast, after all.

There's just so much you can understand.

Although you've transformed into human form,

living a secluded life

here alone

make it impossible

for you to understand the things a human could.

Why don't you come with me?

Let's stay close to each other

like we did back then.

On one condition.

[On the street of Xingyun Pavilion]

Hero!

Oh,

it was you who killed the Soul Reaping Beast?

Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you too.

What a pleasure.

I heard that Qisha Valley

is a well-hidden

peaceful and undisturbed valley

that pays no attention to others.

The disciples are only busy practising

fire and water skills at the bottom of the valley.

That's really relaxing.

It's said that the Palace of Hell

is located within a black stone

with dull environment and oppressive atmosphere.

The disciples are so combative

that they poke their noses

into whatever battle there is.

When there isn't one,

they create troubles everywhere.

Have a seat.

You're the Profound Heaven Emissary. You take the seat.

Thanks.

No problem.

Zhong Zheng,

you be the judge.

No.

You're the judge, I'll just watch

without interfering, unless...

Unless there's a need to do so.

And when will there be a need for that?

When you need help

or give the order.

That's when there is this need.

For the murder case in Ling Borough,

Du Shao Yang,

what do you have to say?

I didn't kill him.

Who else if not you?

Shut up!

Du Shao Yang is a suspect,

but he's still Xingyun Pavilion's young master.

Qin Lie,

Ling Borough is a dependency of Xingyun Pavilion.

Shouting at him

is an act of disrespecting your superior.

-You... -What?

You're just an insignificant kid.

Ridiculous!

Qin Lie killed the Soul Reaping Beast with his thunder.

He's a hero to the far north

and even the entire Chilan Continent.

One should respect and look up to him.

Du Shao Yang,

besides disrespecting the hero,

you were also evoking public wrath.

-You... -What?

I'm the hero, and you're not.

Lord Pu Jiao is being fair

without favouritism. How admirable.

That's my job.

Lord Pu Jiao,

Blacksmith Hua's death is suspicious.

The thing is, there is not a witness.

Even if there is one,

he's from Ling Borough.

Zhong Zheng

has personally

inspected the scene and the body,

and I believe he'll act impartially,

but,

he came here with someone

from Ling Borough after all.

They might improperly influenced him,

giving him a wrong first impression.

Master Du was right.

I might be prejudiced.

Zhong Zheng,

my son's reputation and life is at stake.

I'm sorry.

It's okay.

Lord Pu Jiao,

in my opinion,

someone from Xingyun Pavilion

or Palace of Hell

should inspect the scene first before we make any decisions.

I was thinking about that too.

The reason why I'm here

is to see Ling and Du families be reconciled.

Qin Lie, you have to understand.

Du Shao Yang is the young master of the far north.

Du Shao Yang, keep in mind

that Qin Lie is the hero who killed the Soul Reaping Beast.

Before the case comes to a conclusion,

you have to respect and be nice to each other.

Yu Xin,

from today on, I'll drink with you

by the window everyday

no matter the time and place.

Yu Shi,

at the hall today,

you seemed like you were going to collapse.

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

Good, then.

Uncle Hua told me to draw these images everyday

as my grandpa instructed it in his dream.

Do you believe that?

Those were Uncle Hua's last words

before he was killed.

This is bizarre.

These words seem more important now.

The words he left behind

confused me even more.

The Silent Abyss is a deep gorge.

How did Yu Xin, an outlander,

make it there?

After the Heavenly Thunder struck,

I was half awake,

but I caught a glimpse of my saviour. It was Uncle Hua.

It was like

they were there just to save me.

Are all this

related to my grandpa?

Who am I?

Why is this amazing thing

in my memory?

Why did the Master of Frost save me?

How did I push past

my own limits every time?

I'm afraid all the mysteries

can only be solved after we found my grandpa.

Your grandpa drove off the spirit tide for us

and left strange formations on Herb Mountain back then.

Surprisingly, the eight pillars

could channel thunder and kill the Soul Reaping Beast.

He's obviously not a mortal.

Maybe

he's deliberately hiding

his whereabouts from you.

I know that.

But I can't just sit back and wait.

That's why I want to learn artefact forging skills.

You want to join the Artefact Forging Sect

and learn more about your grandpa?

Yes.

Young Master.

Young Master,

stop drinking.

You're already drunk.

Let go.

Young Master, this is it!

If Master finds this out,

he'll be furious.

Young Master.

-Young Master, don't... -Let him go.

Master.

Look at you.

All it takes is some minor problem

to break your spirit.

Are you even the son of Du family?

You have the nerve to go out?

Young Master,

please listen to Master.

He wants the best for you.

Get lost!

Young Master!

If you take one step out,

don't you dare call yourself my son!

[Xingyun Pavilion]

Don't be angry, Master.

Hurry up and get him back.

Yes, Master.

Young Master!

Young Master.

Keep your mouth shut

or get lost.

Get me wine.

What are you doing here?

I heard you're a regular drinker here.

So, I see it as my job to serve you.

Shop owner!

Where are you?

Why are you looking for the owner?

To have you fired.

Too bad.

I'm the owner.

Du Jun, let's go to the next restaurant.

Oops.

I already bought all the restaurants

in Icestone City.

You can duplicate yourself?

No.

Can you keep up with me

if I visit another restaurant?

I just can.

Do you think I can do that?

Who exactly are you?

Why won't you leave my young master alone?

I'm Tang Si Qi.

Let's cut to the chase.

I like you,

and I wish to have a proper relationship with you.

Ridiculous!

I happen to be bored

and in need of a companion.

You go back first.

But, Young Master...

You think I can't

even handle a woman?

Leave.

Yes.

Let's go.

Cheers.

I don't know who you are.

How do I know

if the wine isn't poisoned?

Should I call you bold and unconstrained

or just lewd?

I lack the courage to put my thought into action.

So, what will you call me?

You're just all bark and no bite then.

Coward.

I like your glibness.

All style but indecisive.

Indecisive, you said?

Although having more advantage in everything,

you're always losing.

You're unhappy with the defeat,

but you couldn't achieve anything.

Who on earth are you?

I'm just an ordinary lady.

You have a striking appearance,

but your eyes are full of sorrows.

So, I made a wild guess.

Did I get it right?

If you don't like the defeat, then challenge him to a fight.

Winning or losing doesn't matter.

Living is all about accepting what's happened.

When you're finally convinced,

then only will you be contented.

Are you hideous in appearance?

My beauty has no parallel.

Then why are you wearing a veil?

Take it off.

I won't

do as you say.

You just said

that you want to fall in love with me.

But you won't even show me your face.

How can I love you?

Unlike my heart that matters, appearance doesn't.

You have enough pretty ladies around you,

Young Master of Xingyun Pavilion.

What you need

is a lady who knows understands you.

She who understands me

must be beautiful as well.

I don't like ugly women.

Nice moves.

Are you sure you want to see my face?

Listen, it's dangerous to do so.

I'm afraid of everything

but danger.

I'll take it off now.

Yes, please do.

I told you it's dangerous.

I'll kill you.

Young Master.

Young Master,

are you all right?

Qin Lie intends to kill Du Shao Yang already.

Are you sure?

His Realm Mark appeared.

I'm certain.

Originally,

everything was under my control.

But Li Zhong Zheng showed up and got in my way.

And while I don't know what to do next,

Qin Lie actually rushed into the picture and gave me a hand.

Good.

Very good.

The moonlight in Icestone City is dim,

but Ling Borough envies them for having it.

However, the most enviable things

are the Luminous Pillars.

Three hundred years ago,

the Profound Heaven Alliance sent the strong ones

to build Icestone City and Xingyun Pavilion here

and govern the disunited people at the far north.

The most outstanding among them were chosen

to reside in Icestone City.

After the work is done,

the strong ones stared at the dark sky.

It troubled them

to see the people of Icestone City

walking in the dark at night.

So, they made the Luminous Pillars.

By drawing forth starlight behind the clouds,

the Luminous Pillars light up the people's way home.

There's a hazy moon in Icestone City,

but starlight still can't reach here.

The Luminous Pillars brighten the dark night sky.

Three hundred years ago,

the strong ones' love for the people

were touching.

Did I put up a good show

at the hall today?

You did well.

And so did I.

Why did you ask me out in secret?

What do you think about the incident

at the snowfield?

I was going to ask you that.

I've never seen such big snowflakes before.

The only person who can create such snow power

is The Master of Frost.

Maybe

she wanted to kill me for you.

I almost died too.

Moreover,

I don't know the Master of Frost.

We never even met once.

So, you called me out at night

to discuss the huge snowflake?

You

didn't kill Uncle Hua.

If I'm not mistaken,

someone is trying to come between our families

and make us get hurt

by fighting each other.

Even if that's true,

Ling Borough

has only some old people and children left.

Why do you think both families will get hurt from the fight?

The culprit has had things planned out.

Having able to eliminate Ling Borough,

means he can do the same to Xingyun Pavilion.

It's just that they're trying to keep a low-profile.

Song Ting Yu?

In order to kill the Soul Reaping Beast,

Song Ting Yu ignored the northern people's lives.

But in the end,

she didn't manage to kill the Beast herself.

That woman is domineering

and she values her reputation a lot.

If someone learns about this,

she'll lose her reputation,

and maybe got held accountable for it.

Are you happy to be at others' mercy?

You really believed that I didn't kill Mr Hua?

When someone spills dung all over you, revenge is a must.

But given who you are,

you won't kill only an old man

but rather the entire Ling Borough.

Will you await your doom

or resist with me?

How can we resist?

If the person behind this really is Song Ting Yu,

the Saintess of Profound Heaven Alliance,

not only are we no match for her in a fight,

we don't even know where we can go

to seek justice.

The Profound Heaven Alliance is on Lofty Cliff.

How could we go that high?

By flying?

Ling Borough

and Xingyun Pavilion

are insignificant in the land of far north.

We can't reach that height.

In a fight,

of course we'd lose.

As for seeking justice,

based on our current capabilities,

that's impractical.

But it's not in our nature to do nothing.

At least show her

that we're no pushover.

Maybe

we can negotiate with her.

Negotiate?

What do you want?

The right question is, where do I want to go.

The Artefact Forging Sect?

I was right.

Pu Jiao is here to cause dispute between us.

Indeed.

He was provoking us with his words.

How obvious.

Why would Song Ting Yu send

a frivolous man for the plan?

A woman's decision...

Qin Lie,

when Song Ting Yu tried to eliminate Ling Borough,

I sided with her.

Do you really trust me?

Someone wants both our families dead.

We're in the same boat.

Why wouldn't we trust you?

Pu Jiao's sending people

to investigate in Ling Borough

is just a show.

What's next in your plan?

We in the north

love to wear feathered beast fur cloaks.

In order to kill the cunning Feathered Beast,

one must trick it into showing its tail

where its weakness lies.

That's simple.

Shao Yang, have someone keep an eye on them.

That's an easy task.

Xingyun Pavilion is my territory.

But my father may see through it.

No worries.

We'll join forces

and cover each other's back.

Won't there be more problems if we take so much time?

You have any ideas?

No.

Yu Shi,

lately,

you sometimes look pale,

but other times your face turns unsually rosy.

Is it because of the Fire Poison?

Don't lie to me.

When did I ever lie to you?

But why do you suddenly care so much about me?

Did someone teach you that?

No!

I was just teasing you

as you look worried.

I'm fine.

I'm just exhausted from all the things

that have been happening lately.

Are you all right?

Even if I'm not, I can still count on you.

By the way,

any clues on the images

in your dream?

No.

I heard there's a Spiritual Herb Street in Icestone City.

Even the low-level herbs sold there

are way better than those in Ling Borough.

You can take a look there tomorrow.

Seriously?

Let's go tomorrow.

I thought you were worried about my health?

I'll take a good rest tomorrow

instead of going with you.

Okay.

Go and rest now.

[Xingyun Pavilion]

Saintess Song asks for you.

Saintess Song?

Where?

At the place where you guys secretly planned to rebel just a while ago.

Saintess Song.

The star and cloud were close once.

The light could break the sincerest friendship.

That's the ancestral teaching of Icestone City.

Do you know the meaning behind it?

In Icestone City,

the Luminous Pillars are a wonderful view.

It's rumoured that the light leads the way home.

But apart from Xingyun Masters throughout the ages,

no one knew

that there was a huge secret behind it.

I'm all ears.

Three hundred years ago,

seeing the people here being disunited without a leader,

and threatened by spirit beasts,

the Profound Heaven Alliance sent the strong ones to build Icestone City,

and made a treaty with the Master of Frost

to give the people their peaceful life back.

I know that.

The strong ones built Luminous Pillars at Xingyun Pavilion

to lead the people back home with starlight drawn.

To prevent the evil tribe from returning,

the strong ones infused

a great power into the Pillars.

Had the the evil tribe invaded the far north successfully,

the power inside could be used.

What kind of power is that?

It's a secret

passed down to all Masters.

The strong ones spared no effort

to prevent tyranny.

So, to activate the Luminous Pillars,

we need the powers of both

Thunder and Starlight.

The Master will inherit the Luminous Bead,

and a strong thunder technique user will be the Vice Master.

The Luminous Pillars can only be activated

with both their permission.

So, "The star and cloud were close once" indicates

the two powers needed to activate the Pillars

as well as the Master and the Vice Master

who protect Icestone City while keeping this secret.

Then,

what about "The light could break the sincerest friendship"?

The Luminous Bead?

The Bead is supposed to be held by the Master.

But for some unknown reasons,

it's always been with the Profound Heaven Alliance.

After so many years,

even the current master of Xingyun Pavilion

has no idea about the secret to activating the Pillars.

You only

speak half the truth.

Why?

You

and Qin Lie...

That was a nice act.

Even Pu Jiao

was deceived.

So, it's true.

You sent Pu Jiao to kill Du and Ling families.

The one I want to kill is Qin Lie.

As for you...

I have another plan for you.

What's that?

I mentioned about the mysterious power

inside the Luminous Pillars.

The person

who obtains it can ascend by skipping Realms.

Skipping Realms?

Which Realm will he reach?

Straight to the Netherpassage Realm.

He would be

second only to me.

Du Shao Yang,

I want to train you.

What do you know

about the evil tribe?

They live in the Netherworld

and have been in war with our tribe for thousands of years.

It's said that the most recent Nether War

was 17 years ago.

The human tribe obtained a hard-won victory after suffering a great loss.

The Nether War

happens once every 30 years.

The Profound Heaven Alliance and

The Eight Extremes Temple take turns to supervise the war.

In recent years,

it's Xie Jing Xuan, the Saintess of the Sanctuary's turn to supervise.

Now that she's dead,

the responsibility falls back on me.

I need an assistant.

You have many capable men.

But none as good as you.

You're telling me to betray Qin Lie?

Betray?

You and Qin Lie

are buddies now?

Why me

instead of Qin Lie?

He's done a great thing by killing the Soul Reaping Beast.

People of Ling Borough have been living too freely.

And Qin Lie is too unruly.

If you were me,

who would you pick?

Saintess,

will this plan work?

It must work.

But many others are going to be sacrificed too.

Qin Lie and Du Shao Yang

are heroes who killed the Soul Reaping Beast.

The entire Icestone City knows it.

Xie Jing Xuan and I

were ordered to hunt the Beast.

She's dead, but I'm alive.

If the Master of the Sanctuary learns about this,

he'll vent his anger on me.

And if my father learns that

I didn't kill the Beast,

guess what will he do to me?

So, I must seize the chance

to cover the truth.

Done.

I've figured out the name of the shop.

Let's call it Li Ji.

But I really don't get it.

Why must we

open our shop here?

I have my own reasons.

But I don't understand

the reason why I must wear this.

To blend in.

Blend in?

Well...

The greatest hermit will retreat into the noisiest place.

It's all about retreating.

Look, my Master of Frost

is exceptionally pretty and elegant.

If she shows up at a place like this, it'll be

too shocking.

Too shocking.

[Li Ji]

[Li Ji]

Not bad.

So, you didn't forget a single character

that I taught you.

I wrote "Li Ji".

And you intend to write "Shop".

Awesome.

This is great, I'll write the remaining word later.

Ms Ling, what are you doing here?

You killed Uncle Hua.

As you want to make Ling and Du families kill each other.

How dare you!

You're falsely accusing me?

Where's your evidence?

I won't come to see you if I have one.

I'm here to warn you.

You'd better stop now.

Why you

and not Qin Lie?

He doesn't believe me.

Instead, he believes the Palace of Hell

will find out the truth.

Ridiculous.

You're the ridiculous one.

You women are full of suspicion

and you love being paranoid.

Really?

I'll get the evidence

and hand it to the Master of Xingyun Pavilion.

You won't have things your way.

But first of all,

you need available evidences.

Before I expose you with evidence,

there's one thing I want to do first.

What is that?
