=Sword and Fairy 1=

=Episode 25=

I'm a disciple of Taoist Mu.

I'm here to report to the Head of Mount Shu.

I got here without invitation. Please forgive me.

My master was brutally killed by a demon

and has passed away.

I am here

to return his magical instruments and tokens,

and I have urgent matters to report to the Head,

concerning the honor of Mount Shu.

(Mount Shu)

Mr. Dugu.

(Mr. Dugu, Saint of Sword)

He claims to be a disciple of Taoist Mu.

(Tai Wu) He has important matters to report to you.

Greetings, I'm Bao Pu, Taoist Mu's disciple.

Stand up and speak.

My master was killed by a demon.

I beseech you to uphold justice.

Taoist Mu was fond of collecting rare treasures.

He harmed the innocent, yet he did not repent.

He was stripped of his elder status and left Mount Shu.

After many years,

I did not expect him to...

What caused his death? Stand up and speak.

Yes, sir.

My master and I went by Taoyuan Village

and discovered that the villagers were all peach demons.

They deceived mortals to drain their vitality.

To save the people

and uphold Mount Shu's honor,

my master took me to subdue the demons.

Unexpectedly,

a powerful demoness

suddenly appeared.

Despite our efforts against the demoness,

my master...

My master

was killed by her.

Before passing, my master worried about me being alone,

and instructed me to return to Mount Shu to claim my heritage,

and encouraged me to cultivate well,

hoping I could be like him, eliminate demons,

and protect the people.

Mu has continued to follow the righteous path

despite leaving Mount Shu.

Since you are his disciple,

you are also a disciple of Mount Shu now.

Thank you for accepting me.

But the demoness

is still causing harm in the world.

I pray for you to uphold justice.

If the demoness is as powerful as you say,

there should have been disturbances in the world,

yet Mount Shu has felt nothing.

Part of the reason my master was killed

is that a disciple of Mount Shu

was colluding with her.

A disciple of Mount Shu?

- A disciple of Mount Shu? - Impossible.

How could this be?

A disciple of Mount Shu?

He is called Li Xiaoyao.

Li Xiaoyao?

I've never heard of him before.

Mr. Dugu, please discern the truth.

Mr. Dugu,

we cannot allow outsiders to impersonate Mount Shu disciples

and tarnish our reputation.

Mr. Dugu, Mr. Mu had merits in killing demons,

and we must seek justice for him.

Now that a demon has appeared,

we of Mount Shu cannot ignore it.

Mr. Dugu!

Hasn't Situ returned to the mountain yet?

Mr. Drunken Sword Immortal has always been elusive

and has not returned to the mountain.

Greetings, King of Prison.

(King of Prison) For hundreds of years,

Mount Shu has been cutting down demons and upholding the righteous path.

Now that a demon is causing trouble,

go to capture it now.

King of Prison,

this matter has not yet been investigated.

The demon is causing trouble,

go to capture it now. Make sure to subdue it.

King of Prison,

acting rashly without evidence might be improper.

Do not hesitate.

Go to capture the demon now and confine it in the Demon-Locking Tower.

Where are the disciples for the Seven-Star Sword Formation?

- Here. - Here.

Go immediately

to capture the demon.

- Yes. - Yes.

You go with them.

Yes, Mr. Dugu.

All his possessions are gone.

The Wind Spiritual Bead

is not here.

He has fallen and is mangled.

Could it have fallen somewhere

during the fall?

He wasn't killed by the fall.

Look at that rock.

Could someone have killed Taoist Mu

and stolen his possessions?

It must have been Bao Pu.

Look.

It's Bao Pu.

Indeed, he took the Wind Spiritual Bead.

Master!

Master!

Your death is such a tragedy.

Mr. Dugu has agreed to uphold justice for you.

Sir, it was them who killed my master.

You Taoist priest, stop spewing lies.

We found him already dead when we arrived.

It's him. He's Li Xiaoyao.

He colluded with the demoness, and they killed my master.

Shameless!

You're turning the facts upside down and blaming others for your fault.

It's obviously you who killed Taoist Mu

and stole his treasures.

Right. Your vile deeds will come to light upon investigation.

Miss Lin,

as the daughter of the Martial Leader of the South,

how could you associate with such people?

It's not too late to turn back from the wrong path.

You're full of lies, betraying your master.

Don't be deceived by him.

Stop slandering people.

Young man,

if you claim to be from Mount Shu,

why are you mingling with these demonic outsiders?

If you do not intervene,

we can take you back to Mount Shu

and ask Mr. Dugu to be lenient with you.

So,

you believe what he says?

You believe that it was us who killed Taoist Mu?

Right and wrong

will be judged fairly.

A bunch of people who can't tell right from wrong,

and yet you talk about fairness.

If you remain deluded,

do not blame us for being ruthless.

Today, I must avenge my master!

Start the formation.

The Seven-Star Sword Formation!

This sword formation is so formidable.

Miss Fairy,

this is Mount Shu's Seven-Star Sword Formation,

specifically powerful against high-level demons,

suppressing all evil spirits.

Sir, look.

How do you know Mr. Drunken Sword Immortal's Art of Thousands of Swords?

Want to know? I won't tell you.

In that case,

there's no need to hold back.

Fellow disciples,

the demoness is powerful. We must capture her today,

to prevent further harm to the world.

Ling'er!

You demoness, surrender now.

Come with us to Mount Shu, and we might spare your lives.

Xiaoyao!

Xiaoyao!

Xiaoyao...

Ling'er...

Ling'er...

Xiaoyao...

Xiaoyao!

You demoness,

surrender now!

Xiaoyao. Xiaoyao.

Yueru.

Yueru.

Yueru, wake up.

Ling'er...

Xiaoyao.

Ling'er...

Right now,

I will use magic to save you.

Demoness,

you've harmed so many today.

We cannot let you go.

I'm the one you want.

I am the demoness.

Let them go, and I'll come with you.

Demoness,

you've injured so many of our fellows.

We can't let you go today.

Say another word, and I'll perish together with you.

Sir,

eliminating the demon is crucial.

Other matters can be considered later.

Let's take this demoness back to Mount Shu first,

hand her over to King of Prison,

and confine her in the Demon-Locking Tower

so she can never reincarnate.

Alright.

Ling'er...

Ling'er...

I'm sorry.

I have to break my promise again.

You both

must live well.

Take good care of Yueru.

Why does it

always end up

bringing you pain?

I shouldn't have...

Xiaoyao,

forget about me.

Miss Fairy.

Little Stone,

use the Jade Buddha Magical Formation now

to make Xiaoyao and Yueru

forget everything about me.

Miss Fairy...

Hurry.

Ling'er,

Ling'er, no.

Ling'er.

Ling'er, no.

♪Flows like a creek♪

Ling'er...

Miss Fairy.

Hurry.

Ling'er...

I will take Ling'er to Nanzhao.

I will never leave you.

I won't let you be alone.

♪How many chances to miss♪

The hair tie, oh the hair tie.

Thanks to you,

I got to see Ling'er again.

♪Even if tormented by the mundane world♪

Ling'er,

let me hold you.

Only then

can I be sure

that you are by my side.

From now on,

don't shoulder everything alone.

♪So close yet worlds apart♪

Ling'er...

♪Your smile is as warm as yesterday♪

♪I smile like blooming peach blossoms, with my heart torn apart♪

♪How many chances to miss♪

Miss Fairy,

you've exhausted your spiritual power.

If you use the Gathering of Five Qi,

it will surely harm your spirit.

♪How could we bear to miss each other again♪

♪Can we hold hands forever♪

♪Even if we're doomed to fall♪

♪Even if we're bound♪

♪To fall♪

After I go to Mount Shu,

I won't be able to come back.

As long as

they are all well,

I am satisfied.

Little Stone,

you must protect Xiaoyao and Yueru.

Don't let them remember me.

Xiaoyao,

in this life,

we

shall never meet again.

Sir,

those two have fainted.

Maybe we...

Since I've promised to let those two go,

I must keep my word.

Let's go back to the mountain.

Master,

we've brought the demoness back.

Is the demoness

as powerful

as Bao Pu said?

Indeed.

Our Seven-Star Sword Formation

used all its strength to only fight her to a standstill.

Is the Mount Shu disciple real or fake?

He used Mr. Situ's Art of Thousands of Swords.

In my opinion,

maybe Mr. Situ instructed him at some point.

Although Situ is unconventional in his actions,

those he chooses to instruct

are unlikely to be villainous.

I think so too,

but he is quite impulsive.

We had hardly exchanged a few words before we started fighting.

Has Mu's death

been thoroughly investigated?

They refuse to admit it,

even claiming it was Bao Pu who did it.

But I believe

Bao Pu had no reason to kill his own master.

Where is the demoness now?

I brought her back to Mount Shu.

King of Prison then ordered me to take her to the Demon-Locking Tower.

I had no choice

but to comply.

There might be more

to the demoness's story.

It's handed over to you

to investigate this thoroughly.

Yes.

Master, I'm here to save you.

Little Phoenix,

you should also find a way to leave here quickly.

Master, I won't leave.

You only have me now.

Listen to me.

I can manage alone.

Little Phoenix.

Master, this place is strange.

I feel my spiritual power rapidly vanishing.

You must find a way to escape.

Little Phoenix!

Xiaoyao

and Yueru...

I wonder

how they are now.

My head hurts so much.

Me too.

I clearly remember

you were covered in injuries.

How come they are gone now?

These two Spiritual Beads are entrusted to you.

Rest assured.

Be careful on the road.

Let's go.

Luckily, the Spiritual Beads aren't lost.

What are you looking for?

I keep feeling like I lost something,

but I can't remember what it is.

I feel the same way.

Where are those Mount Shu Taoist priests?

Those Mount Shu Taoist priests

are as dumb as pigs.

How can they believe

that little Taoist priest's side of the story

and think we killed Taoist Mu?

When I come back, I'll tell my father

and have Saint of Sword give them a good lesson.

A'nu, drink the medicine now.

Master,

if I don't take the medicine,

will my injuries get worse?

A'nu,

your injuries are severe this time.

You can't be stubborn.

Master,

you know I've hated taking medicine since I was little.

I don't want to take it.

This time you don't get to choose.

Master, did Tang Yu gather this medicine?

If it's from Tang Yu,

would you take it?

No, I wouldn't.

Then there's no need for him to come see you.

Tang Yu is back?

Whether he comes back or not

is up to you.

Master,

I'll wait for Tang Yu to come back before I take it.

Madam,

is A'nu getting better?

Tang Yu,

why are you so unsettled?

I'm thinking

if I should leave now.

Tang Yu,

even if you leave now,

what you've done won't change.

But in my current situation,

I can no longer protect the young master,

and I might bring her new harm.

Tang Yu,

external injuries are easy to treat,

while heart wounds are hard to heal.

I see.

Why is it so quiet after so long?

Can you even use this?

Let me try it.

Give it back after you're done.

You're clumsy. Don't break it.

Who's clumsy? I'm very adept.

See, I told you you're clumsy.

It smells good.

Are you hungry?

Flower scent.

Don't you smell it?

Your hands and feet are clumsy,

but I didn't expect your nose to have problems.

How come I didn't smell it?

What's wrong? Are you fainting from hunger?

Bao Pu, you're sneaking around here.

What are you trying to do?

If it weren't for that demoness,

you would have died by my sword already.

Hand over the Spiritual Beads.

You're defeated.

Where do you get the confidence to beat us?

You've already been poisoned by my Purple Poppy.

Those who are poisoned

will soon go mad with delusion.

There's no need for me to act.

You will destroy each other.

You've ambushed us time and again.

I'll kill you today to rid the people of a menace.

Bao Pu, I want you to die!

Are you crazy, savage girl?

I am Li Xiaoyao.

Let go of me.

Let go of me.

I can let you go,

but you can't hit me anymore. Do you hear me?

If you keep doing this, I won't be nice anymore.

Let go of me or I'll kill you.

Unexpectedly,

even the Purple Poppy can't help me defeat Li Xiaoyao.

How can I become stronger?

Greetings, King of Prison.

In Mount Shu,

even Mr. Dugu

must tread carefully around King of Prison.

(Demon-Locking Tower)

This is the Demon-Locking Tower?

It has no doors.

How can I enter?

I'm Bao Pu, a disciple of Mount Shu.

I'm here to pay respects to King of Prison.

My master, Taoist Mu,

was brutally murdered by the demoness and her accomplices.

I swear

that in this life, I will not coexist with demons.

I wish to serve under you, King of Prison,

to slay demons and uphold righteousness for you.

I offer you this Wind Spiritual Bead,

hoping only to be taken as your disciple.

Who's disturbing my cultivation here?

I'm Bao Pu, a humble disciple.

Here I am, kneeling and begging you to accept me as a disciple.

Is that the Wind Spiritual Bead in your hand?

Indeed, it is.

People are ignorant and vulgar,

unfit to wield the power of this Wind Spiritual Bead.

Only you, King of Prison, with your boundless magical power,

are worthy of this peerless treasure.

I am willing to accept you and grant you magical power.
