[Episode 8]

Come.

Dad,

I want that biggest doll.

No problem.

Beiluo.

Can you hear us?

Dad.

Dad,

shoot!

Okay.

Beiluo.

Wake up.

Beiluo.

Dad.

You need to wake up, Beiluo.

[Mengquan Pavilion]

Cao Yanbing,

you're finally here.

Li Gucheng,

did you do this

to Beiluo?

You bunch

of sneaky rats,

this is how you've ended up.

What else do I need to do?

All I did was send you

an update letter.

You're indeed a stooge of the Hall of Heroes.

Such underhanded tactics

are your specialty.

A fugitive who razed a street

and committed countless murders

doesn't deserve

to talk to me about morality.

You know the truth

deep down.

The truth?

Cao Yanbing,

you only escaped Shadowbound Prison

by sheer luck.

Instead of remaining hidden,

you dare to go to the Divine Realm,

Luhua Ancient Tower.

I suppose

you're trying to steal

the Devine Power.

I guess I am right.

I heard about your mother,

Tang Xiaoxiao,

a traitor of the Hall.

A traitor gave birth

to someone just as corrupt.

Your whole family's nothing

but a nest of vermin.

Li Gucheng.

You asked for this.

Yama's Cannon.

Beiluo.

Beiluo, wake up.

Beiluo.

Wake up.

Beiluo.

Wake up!

Let me show you

real archery.

Li Guang.

[Li Guang]

Generals,

fight.

Beiluo.

Beiluo.

Beiluo, wake up.

I wonder how long you can hold out.

Li Guang,

Starfall Arrow.

I'll help.

Don't hurt my master.

My master is stronger than this.

He won't fall here.

Hold it.

Hold it.

Wake up, Beiluo.

Beiluo.

Cao Yanbing,

what do I do?

Beiluo just won't wake up.

Hit harder.

Higher?

Shui,

is it beautiful here?

Yes.

It's called Bodhi Street.

I became

its Spiritual Guardian.

Now we

can live here

and never separate again.

You're incredible

for keeping your word.

I am thrilled.

Shui,

I've failed you.

That's why you are...

Dad,

why are you saying this suddenly?

Right.

Why am I saying that?

Never mind.

It is fine now.

I like it here very much.

I get to be with you all the time.

However,

I don't want to just be protected by you.

I want to protect you as well.

No one treats me better than you,

so I'll try to protect you, too.

Shui?

Shui.

Shui.

Shui.

Shui.

Shui!

Shui!

Dad.

Shui.

- Shui. - Dad.

Dad.

Look, I just picked these flowers.

It smells amazing. Take a sniff.

Dad.

Beiluo, I'm sorry.

You need to wake up.

Dad, what's wrong with you?

Dad.

It's not working.

I'm about to suffocate him to death.

Stab him.

Dad.

What's wrong? I'm so worried.

Beiluo, I'm sorry.

This is urgent.

I'm so sorry.

I am okay.

You are awake.

Xia Ling.

Cao Yanbing?

What's going on?

No time to explain.

You have to help.

Cao Yanbing,

where do I aim?

The front.

Move.

Let's go now.

Let's go.

Chief,

all is well.

Cao Yanbing has

escaped from the men

of the Hall of Heroes.

Nice.

I've always had faith in you.

Iron Pawn

will succeed as well.

If everything goes well,

his next step

will be heading for Lingfeng Street.

Then let's hope

he finds Lingfeng Street successfully,

and then safely enters

Luhua Ancient Tower.

After all, to obtain

the power in the tower,

it has to be him.

Chief,

if we plan

to get Cao Yanbing

to go to Luhua Ancient Tower,

why don't we

just let them know

where Lingfeng Street is?

I can arrange it now.

No.

Today

we've got his attention.

More actions

might backfire

and make him doubt us.

Besides,

people always value

what they've worked hard for,

whether it's truth or clues.

Let him do his work.

Okay.

Li Gucheng isn't after us, is he?

No.

I saw him trapped

by a sword qi.

I don't think he knows

where we were heading.

A sword qi?

And I felt an aura

of Divine Warrior's Form.

Do you mean

other Spirit-hosted Humans

were helping us?

Not necessarily helping us.

Hall of Heroes has so many enemies.

Maybe they were looking for revenge.

Beiluo.

How's your leg?

I'm sorry.

There was an emergency.

Don't blame me.

Our Commander Men is no ordinary human.

He has super Primordial Spirit Power.

That wound healed already.

You might as well

buy him a pair of pants.

Why do I have to buy him pants?

You told me to stab him.

And you just did what I said?

If I don't listen to you...

Since you and Xia Ling

are fine now,

I'll be on my way.

Beiluo,

we came to Leiquan Street

especially to see you.

To see me?

Why?

It's a long story.

How about we sit down

and talk it over?

That's about it.

We only know that Luhua Ancient Tower

is near Lingfeng Street.

But we don't know

how to get to Lingfeng Street

or where it is.

I see.

Do you have a pen and paper?

I'll draw you

where the entrance to Lingfeng Street is.

I do.

It's an eyebrow pencil though.

Will this work?

Here.

Here.

Thank you, Beiluo.

I knew you were the right guy to go to.

Beiluo,

this Lingfeng Street

seems hard to find.

I need you to come with us.

Beiluo!

Anything else?

Can't I just chat with you for no reason?

What is wrong with you?

When we parted

in Yulin Street,

you were all right.

It's only been a few months.

Why have you fallen so low?

I was a fool

to think I could reunite

Shui's Primordial Spirit.

Shui's Primordial Spirit?

So this is...

It is a treasure that collects and saves

fragments of Primordial Spirit,

the Starspirit Bottle.

So it means

Shui can still be saved.

Even more reason to cheer up.

We'll help you save Shui.

I've tried every method said

to be able to gather Primordial Spirit.

They all didn't work.

What's worse,

these methods,

to varying degrees,

damage the Primordial Spirit.

I don't want to try again.

Otherwise,

Shui will be gone

forever.

Just let her stay in the bottle

safely and peacefully.

At least,

she can still be by my side.

My life is over.

Leiquan Street

is where I found

Shui's Primordial Spirit.

Let me just fend

for myself here.

Beiluo.

You're a Spiritual Guardian.

You can be sad.

But not so much

that you give up on yourself like this.

Spiritual Guardian.

On Bodhi Street,

thousands of Border Dwellers

and Shui.

They're all dead.

I'm the only one still alive,

shamelessly.

If I hadn't trusted Nan Yufu,

and allow him to invade,

they wouldn't have been killed.

Fine.

You don't have to go with us.

What's your next move?

Heading back to your temple,

seeking

another one,

or maybe go drink

that Mengquan water again?

I shouldn't have rescued you

if I knew you'd be

such a coward.

Yes.

You should never have rescued me.

Though I only have sheer strength,

I lack the acumen to discern character.

Again and again,

I harmed Shui.

And what did Shui do?

In order to save me,

her primordial spirit was shot by an arrow.

But she was still smiling at me,

saying she wanted me to live,

and not to be sad.

I, Beiluo Shimen,

don't deserve to be her father.

How should I proceed with my life?

Do you think,

if I could

stop Shi Lingming

from trying to protect me,

I'd allow myself to be

standing here alive

In front of you?

Or if you guys

hadn't forced me to wake up,

how would I be standing here

and listening to your nonsense?

If you think

saving me was wrong,

take my life

right now.

I'll give you a proper thanks.

If you wouldn't kill,

then leave me alone.

I'm going to get some brew.

[Hongbin Restaurant]

Beiluo,

I'm sorry.

I was being too harsh on you.

I failed to think about your feelings.

I

will make amends with brew.

A pot for myself.

[Meng]

No need to apologize.

Leave Leiquan Street.

No one

can really get

what someone else is feeling.

I can't

fully understand your feelings.

But I know mine.

Pain and remorse.

Not for months,

but for ten years.

If I hadn't known

my mother was still alive

and trapped in the Luhua Ancient Tower,

I'm afraid, for my whole life,

I would think I killed her.

But I also remember

what my mom

used to say.

She said

your trust and kindness are right.

It was he who failed you.

Exactly because

I remembered this,

however I regret something after that,

I held back.

I didn't let the pain consume me.

I put all my energy

into becoming stronger.

Strong enough

to be able

to do what my mom said,

never letting it happen again.

My suffering is

nothing.

I have such a

loving mother.

I have to live a good life

to be worthy of her love.

Beiluo.

You said Shui saved you

with her Primordial Spirit shot.

Still, she was smiling at you

telling you not to be sad

and live a good life.

If I had

a daughter like her,

despite my

unbearable pain,

even if the world deemed me

unworthy of life,

I'd strive

to live well,

so Shui may find peace.

All right.

I've said everything I needed to.

Xia Ling and I are going to

look for Luhua Ancient Tower now.

What to do next

is up to you.

Beiluo,

Spiritual Crossroads are so big.

I believe there must be a way

to heal Shui's Primordial Spirit.

Don't ever give up.

Also don't forget

you have two partners.

You can always count on us.

Please wait, the two of you.

I think I heard you talking

about Luhua Ancient Tower.

Did you say Luhua Ancient Tower?

Yeah.

This place is always bustling with people,

so I hear all kinds of news.

However,

if you want any specific news,

you need to...

How much?

One Border Coin?

One bar of gold.

Why don't you just rob me?

Don't get upset.

My prices are upfront

and fair to all customers.

By the way,

what you just said

about healing the Primordial Spirit,

there is a way

to do it in the tower.

He can sell twenty pieces

of fake information like that a day.

Don't be ridiculous.

My information

is from the Border King

when he was passing

through Leiquan Street.

That's real firsthand information.

Do you hear?

I'm buying this information.

Sir,

go on.

Here it is.

Why is the tower a Divine Realm?

First,

here dwell the ancient immortals.

Second,

there's a place

called Penglai

where the Divine Power is nurtured.

This power

can purify the evil

and rejuvenate all things.

If it can do that,

isn't healing Primordial Spirit

easy as pie?

So Shui can still be saved.

Li Gucheng

has also mentioned

the power in the Luhua Ancient Tower.

It must be true.

Beiluo.

You heard what the keeper said.

The power in Luhua Ancient Tower

might be able to save Shui.

No.

I will never believe in legends again.

You don't believe it,

or you don't want to believe it?

Beiluo Shimen,

are you really willing to accept this?

Don't you want

to try again for Shui?

Did Shui save you

only to see you

get so depraved?

Do you deserve

Shui's sacrifice?

If I had

a daughter like her,

despite my

unbearable pain,

even if the world deemed me

unworthy of life,

I'd strive

to live well,

so Shui may find peace.

Are you really willing to accept this?

Don't you want

to try again for Shui?

Coffee for two.

Thank you.

I know

seeing the way Beiluo is now,

you're a little disappointed.

Why should I be disappointed?

I have known

where Lingfeng Street is.

I'm beyond happy.

Just admit it.

I actually can

understand Beiluo.

As a man

of real goodness and integrity,

he found it hurt so much.

If he survives,

he'll carry the sorrow for the fallen.

If he doesn't,

he fears

letting down those who love him.

Don't you think

forcing him to cheer up

is a little harsh?

Harsh or not,

we'll find out tomorrow.

Let's set out

for Lingfeng Street.
