[Adapted from Xu Chen's comic: Rakshasa Street]

[Episode 16]

Since General Tianyue

has remembered Beiluo,

does that mean he has also recalled

other things in the past?

Miss Xia, I understand

that you want to inquire about the guide.

I'll take you

to see my brother soon,

so you can ask him directly.

I hope his answers

will ease your concerns

and address

the past misunderstandings we've had.

But,

in any case,

it's really

thanks to your assistance

that my brother's condition

has improved.

If my hospitality

was ever lacking in any way,

please forgive me.

Not at all,

never mind it.

Let's go.

This way, please.

We'll go check on him.

Okay.

Tianyue?

I didn't do this.

Tianyue.

Tianyue.

Tianyue, wake up.

He's dead.

You did it.

Don't get the wrong idea.

I didn't do this.

My brother

clearly died at your feet.

If you didn't do it, then who did?

I have no idea,

but I swear it wasn't me.

Cao Yanbing,

I know

you're angry with me

for lying to you,

and I understand how desperate you are to find your mother.

But if you have a problem,

just come at me.

Why did you harm

my innocent brother?

Why would I kill him?

I had so many questions I wanted to ask him.

It was him.

He was the one who wanted to kill me.

My brother didn't even know you.

Why would he try to kill you?

But the fact is,

when I went into the room to see him,

he suddenly rushed out and attacked me.

So you decided to kill him

just because he attacked you?

My brother is sick.

He didn't mean it.

So I never fought back

and I kept dodging.

You could destroy an entire city

with just one hand.

Not going all out

against my brother

means you showed mercy, right?

Yan Lingyu, why are you speaking this way?

I've been explaining things to you calmly,

yet you keep calling me a murderer

and criticizing me harshly.

What are your true intentions?

What are my intentions?

What are yours then?

My brother died because of you,

and now you're turning the blame on me.

How is that fair?

Is it just because you

feel superior to me?

I'm sorry,

Tianyue.

I shouldn't have brought

these strangers to you.

You haven't done

anything wrong to anyone.

The world is so unfair.

So unfair!

Xia Ling.

Tianyue.

Beiluo.

Don't listen to her.

I honestly didn't do it.

Lingyu,

try not to be too distressed.

Stop it!

If you hadn't brought

this monster here,

my brother wouldn't be dead.

Yan Lingyu,

don't push it too far!

What?

Killing my brother isn't enough.

Now you want to kill me too?

Is that it?

Fine!

If you want to do it,

then go ahead.

But remember,

people like you,

who are cruel, cold, and merciless,

will surely face retribution!

Beiluo,

step aside.

Cao Yanbing.

Stop now.

Don't keep going down the wrong path.

Keep going down the wrong path?

You also think

I killed Yan Tianyue,

and now you believe

I would kill this woman too,

don't you?

I want to believe you,

but I trust my own eyes more.

From the moment I walked in,

I saw Tianyue

lying at your feet,

and you were holding

the King of Ten Halls.

Great logic.

Just because I'm holding the King of Ten Halls,

it makes me the killer?

Beiluo Shimen,

so in your eyes,

I'm just a lunatic,

a ruthless killer

with no mercy.

No wonder I blew up Yulin Street,

right?

Cao Yanbing,

I'm really grateful for you saving me back then,

but...

Enough.

I don't want to lose my temper,

at least not right now.

Step aside.

I warned you.

If you dare harm anyone here,

I will never let you off.

I'll say it one more time.

Move aside.

You can't handle the consequences

of angering me.

Cao Yanbing,

I'm doing this to save you.

- I told you to stand down! - I told you to stand down!

You old geezer,

who knew that despite my effort to hold back,

you'd still find a loophole?

Yes, kid,

I didn't expect either

that we'd meet again

so soon.

But, of course,

who could stay calm

in such a situation?

If someone could, they'd be a saint.

What's the point of being a saint?

Admit it,

you should have listened to me long ago.

Cao Yanbing,

who are you talking to?

My demonic form.

What?

He's right here.

The sudden changes

in my temperament before

were actually due to him.

So

when I told you not to provoke me,

it wasn't a warning

but advice.

I'm actually trying to save you.

Shi Lingming!

[Shi Lingming]

You've made me do this.

Xu Chu!

[Xu Chu]

Don't fight.

This won't resolve the problem.

My Lord,

what are your instructions?

Beiluo,

it's better to talk things over

when friends have misunderstandings.

Shi Lingming,

he is under the control of the demonic form

and no longer the Cao Yanbing you know.

You've figured it out.

That fool Cao Yanbing

only stands in my way

and prevents me from blowing up Lingfeng Street.

He's so indecisive

and useless.

Shi Lingming,

did you hear that?

Why haven't you taken action yet?

General,

though I'm reluctant,

I won't go easy on you.

We both have our own allegiances.

Forgive me for any offense.

I've told you

to stop fighting!

Generals,

please calm down.

Li Xuanyuan,

step aside

or you might get hurt.

Cao Yanbing,

since you've admitted

that refusing me earlier was foolish,

summon

my power now,

and I'll make sure this monkey

can't move again.

Did you hear me?

Cao Yanbing,

my patience has limits.

Do you think this

means I'm out of options?

Don't forget,

your Guardian Primordial Spirit is still fighting.

You jerk,

what are you plotting this time?

Your Guardian Primordial Spirit

is also a part of you,

and on the battlefield,

no warrior wants to lose.

Wait.

Cao Yanbing isn't controlled by the demonic form.

Beiluo, stop immediately.

Xu Chu,

come back.

Shi Lingming,

come back.

Li Xuanyuan.

Ya...

Ma...

Cease your pointless resistance

and yield to me.

Anger cannot be quelled by suppression alone.

Shut up!

It will only cause you

more pain.

As long as your heart

isn't truly at peace,

the more you suppress

and hold back,

the more energy you'll waste.

You'll lose control

of your will,

leaving it dominated by me.

No one cares about the truth

or who you really are.

Even your friend

sees you as a monster

and want to eliminate you.

Why are you resisting it?

Who are you holding back for?

Release your anger

and let it burn.

Burn down

everything in front of you.

Lingyu,

I'm sorry.

I am the one who brought

Cao Yanbing to Lingfeng Street.

The mistakes he made

are my fault,

and I will take full responsibility.

Say no more, Beiluo.

I spent the night here

and have come to terms with it.

You have shown

true loyalty and sincerity

towards my brother.

After the incident,

you didn't blindly cover for

or protect Cao Yanbing.

You've done nothing wrong.

Last night,

I was overwhelmed with grief

and spoke out of turn.

I hope

you won't take it too seriously.

You don't blame me,

but I can't help but blame myself.

Lingyu,

I want to attend Tianyue's wake.

Please grant me permission.

I'm afraid I can't.

Are you still angry with me?

No, it's not that.

I refused the request

simply because

it's our custom in the Wind-Treading Clan

that the deceased should not be disturbed

on the first night after passing.

Since you have such customs,

I won't insist.

I'll visit the place Tianyue loved most

when he was alive

and regard it as an alternative way to honor him.

I thank you on behalf of my brother.

General.

The mourning hall is ready,

and the body and coffin are in place.

Great job.

I was very pleased

with what you did last night.

Thank you, General.

It's my duty

to protect Lingfeng Street.

It was necessary

to confine you here

for all these years.

You deserved a swift end much sooner,

but the chance never came.

Now, the time has come.

Embrace your liberation.

Now,

you must assign people to guard the General's Mansion

and make sure

no one approaches the mourning hall.

Understood.

By the way,

Elder Mei has woken up

and sent word

that there's something important he needs to discuss with you.

Something important?

Everyone,

stay alert.

That darned Cao Yanbing

killed General Tianyue.

We'll leave no stone unturned to catch him.

Let's split up and get moving.

Okay, you go over there.

The rest of you, follow me.

Hurry.

[Wanted poster: Cao Yanbing]

Cao Yanbing.

He is a wanted criminal of the Hall of Heroes?

Look at what's written there.

He killed the Spiritual Guardian of Yulin Street

and blew up the whole street.

He's a complete monster.

How unfortunate.

How did such a person

[Cao Yanbing, wanted for felony] end up at Lingfeng Street?

I already brought back

the wanted poster,

but I was caught by the Fire-Eater King

and fell unconscious for the past few days.

It seems that the divine has forsaken Lingfeng Street.

On the contrary,

the divine

are protecting us.

The wanted poster arrived just in time.

Cao Yanbing

killed my brother

but has remained at large.

This will always be a hidden threat.

If we can let the Hall of Heroes

find and capture him,

it will be revenge for my brother.

Lingyu,

the dead cannot be brought back to life.

Don't grieve

or blame yourself

for Tianyue's fate.

Ultimately,

the misfortune was caused by the guide.

Yet, I understand more than anyone

why you couldn't surrender Fengzha.

That's right.

No matter who it is,

I will never allow them

to take Fengzha away.

The future of our Wind-Treading Clan

rests entirely on Fengzha.

I have already struggled

for five long years,

and now,

Fengzha is about to become more powerful.

So right now,

I cannot allow anyone

to ruin it all.

Rest assured.

Except for you and me,

no one else in the street

knows where Fengzha is.

No one can take him away.

I've been searching all night.

When will I be able to go home?

Shut up

and follow the orders.

But I was supposed to have a day off today.

I haven't had a break for ten days.

You brat!

Do you know

who died last night?

He was the previous Spiritual Guardian,

General Yan Tianyue.

General Tianyue

devoted himself entirely to our Lingfeng Street.

You haven't even matured yet,

so how dare you complain?

I...

I'm still young

and not familiar

with General Tianyue.

Shut up

and keep a sharp eye out.

If you spot any man in red clothing,

notify us right away.

We must avenge General Tianyue.

Got it?

Is that person

the killer of the General?

Who is he?

And why did he kill General Tianyue?

Why are you talking so much?

Don't ask questions you shouldn't.

Thank you, Xia Ling.

You're awake.

How are you feeling?

Is there any discomfort?

I'm feeling pretty good.

How about you?

Forget about me.

I'm talking about you.

When I found you

last night,

you suddenly passed out

and were covered in black mist.

It really scared me.

Xia Ling,

have I ever told you

that the reason I am like this

is because my body...

Demonic aura.

You've told me before.

And I also know

that you've never been controlled by the demonic form

On the contrary,

You've been fighting his dominion.

How did you find out?

It's obvious, all right?

Do you believe your deceit

is sophisticated?

Actually, it's really silly.

Why are you laughing all of a sudden?

I laugh because I'm indeed very silly,

but it's surprising that some people

actually take such ridiculous statements seriously.

Cao Yanbing,

I'm not defending Beiluo,

but from what I saw yesterday,

it certainly looked like

you killed General Yan Tianyue.

But the truth

is that I encountered someone on the street

who looked very much like General Yan Tianyue.

So I followed him

to his place,

intending to ask him

about Yan Fengzha.

However, as soon as I walked in,

he attacked me.

He was extremely agitated,

with blue eyes

and a ferocious fighting style

that was definitely not typical

of an ill person.

General Yan,

I don't fight with patients.

Let's talk this out.

General Yan,

if you keep this up,

I won't hold back.

I'm sorry, General Yan,

but if you promise not to attack me again,

I'll let you go.

Did you say his eyes were blue?

Yes.

Do you remember

the day we first arrived at Lingfeng Street?

We accidentally triggered a trap and fell into it.

Yan Ruofu drank the Blaze Jade

to prepare for battle,

and her eyes...

Her eyes were also blue.

Exactly.

Her eyes

had a light blue glow.

If this is the case,

General Yan's death

is related to the Blaze Jade.

But that's odd,

given many have used

the Blaze Jade safely.

It seems this isn't the cause.

Yet, when you think about it,

this whole thing seems quite odd.

Isn't it too much of a coincidence?

I just happened to come across

Yan Tianyue on the street,

and right after

he collapses,

Yan Lingyu

brings you all in.

Even a perfectly timed delivery isn't that accurate.

What you said makes sense,

but I'm not sure

where we should start our investigation.

It doesn't matter if you don't know.

What matters is that Yan Tianyue knows.

The dead are often the most honest.

Autopsy it is.

This is the Hall of Heroes' Office of General Affairs.

Which street are you from? Who are you?

And what is your report about?

I am Yan Lingyu, the Spiritual Guardian of Lingfeng Street.

I'd like to report

that the wanted criminal, Cao Yanbing,

has appeared in Lingfeng Street.

Is the report reliable?

Very reliable.

This is Li Gucheng from the Hall of Heroes,

sent to convey the leader's orders.

General Yan,

whatever methods you use,

make sure to keep Cao Yanbing under control.

We'll arrive as soon as possible

to capture him.

Yes, sir.

You go first.

I need to take a leak.

Tell me.

Where is General Tianyue's coffin?

It...

It's in the mourning hall set up at the General's Mansion.

[The memorial tablet of General Yan Tianyue]

Is it good?

Father,

I wasn't fond of the previous batch,

but this batch is particularly tasty.

I like it.

If it tastes good, dig in.

This time,

I had someone add honey

to the filling.

Take your time.

There's plenty more here.

Thank you, Father.

Fengzha,

do you hate me?

Why would I hate you?

You would bring me delicious food,

make me toys,

tell me many stories

about the Spiritual Crossroads,

and teach me martial arts.

But since I've locked you in here,

you can't go anywhere.

That's because

you're the Spiritual Guardian of Lingfeng Street,

destined to protect it.

I'm your son,

and I want to protect Lingfeng Street too.

That's why I'm willing

to be locked in here.

Besides, Father,

you've said

that as long as I work hard and become stronger,

I will eventually be able to go out.

Good boy.

When you grow up

and can control Feilian,

wherever you want to go,

I will take you.

Be it the Spiritual Crossroads

or the Human Realm,

okay?

It's a deal.

It's a deal.

Father,

sorry that I came too late.

[General's Mansion]

Are you certain

that Yan Tianyue's corpse

is in here?

Didn't you just hear

the patrolling soldiers say

that the coffin is at the General's Mansion?

This must be the place.

We've been standing guard all day long.

I think

Cao Yanbing

is unlikely to return now.

Not necessarily.

Beiluo Shimen,

who came here with him,

instructed us to remain vigilant.

Cao Yanbing hasn't found the guide yet,

so he will definitely come back.

Look,

the whole street is full of patrols

dispatched by Beiluo Shimen.

It's good to see he did something good.

I was worried before

that he might side with Cao Yanbing

and cause trouble for us at Lingfeng Street.

Don't worry.

I heard that he promised

the General

that he would take full responsibility for Lingfeng Street.

After all, he and our General Tianyue

are old acquaintances.

When it comes to friendship,

there's a hierarchy of who matters most.

Um, you shouldn't take it to heart.

Beiluo...

Beiluo?

Who is he?

I've never heard of him

or met him.

Yes, today you don't know him.

Let's get to know each other properly another day.

Let's focus on the task at hand first.

Watch me later.

Do you have a plan?

You're the one who needs to scale the wall. I don't need to.

I'm off.

Stop right there.

What are you up to?

Aren't you

with Cao Yanbing?

Don't bring up Cao Yanbing.

I followed him

because I was worried,

but he turned out

to be

a ruthless villain.

He intended to kill me,

but fortunately,

my Guardian Primordial Spirit showed up

just in time to save me.

But my Guardian Primordial Spirit...

He...

He...

He...

Miss, don't cry.

Losing your Guardian Primordial Spirit

is better than losing your life.

Yes.

Stay here in Lingfeng Street,

and we'll protect you.

Yeah.

Thank you.

- Stop crying, Miss. - Thank you.

Miss.

Thank you so much.

Right now,

I just want to wait for Beiluo.

I want to say goodbye to him

and tell him

that I'm not going to the Ancient Tower anymore.

You want to see him?

But he's not here.

If he's not here,

then where is he?

This is something we don't know.

How about this then?

I'll go inside and wait for him.

He's definitely coming back, right?

You can wait inside,

but you must stay in the courtyard

and not wander off,

especially to the mourning hall at the back.

I'll definitely be well-behaved and not wander around.

Then, you may go in.

Thank you.
