[bunniefuu]

What's this place?

This is where the Water-Calming Stone is.

The spiritual energy is abundant.

We can use this to protect his heart.

I'll leave him to you.

Water-Calming Stone,

aquatic tribes of the Mohe River
suffered from this calamity

because of my fault.

I bear deep hatred

and demand blood for blood!

I'm willing to become a fallen demon

as long as I can k*ll my foe.

Even at the cost of my life

or my soul being destructed,

I'll never regret it!

Water-Calming Sword.

Follow me to Shangqing Realm

and slaughter Tianhuan.

Why am I feeling unsettled?

Forget it.

Purifying the seal is perilous.

I should get down to it

or I'll spoil it.

Why are you so upset?

Fairy Qingniao in Xuanzhang Palace

was dismissed days ago

and left Shangqing Realm.

So you got lovesickness.

However,

I heard that many maids have been replaced

by maids from the Flying Serpent Clan.

It seems Saintess Tianhuan did it.

After the gods had all perished,

I'm afraid Shangqing Realm

is no longer the same as in the past.

It's you again, little imp.

My honored guest,

you're welcome here.

Where is Tianhuan?

Follow me.

Saintess Tianhuan, have mercy on us.

We had cultivated ourselves
for thousands of years

before getting into Shangqing Realm.

Please don't drive us away.

I know it was hard for you
to get into the realm.

However, you can't blame me for this.

Just blame Sangjiu.

What does it have to do
with Madam Sangjiu?

Because you served her before.

I feel annoyed when I see you.

So?

Is that a good reason?

What if I don't leave?

What?

I came to Yuqing Palace
with the God of w*r, Mingye.

He's also the master of Yuqing Palace.

If you want to drive me away,

we should clarify things in front of him.

Are you threatening me with Mingye?

When the 12 gods were on the thrones,

no one was dictatorial or bullied

in Shangqing Realm.

Every matter must be dealt with fairly.

How dare you offend me?

Saintess Tianhuan, please spare me.

-I beg for your mercy.
-Report.

Saintess Tianhuan,

Sangjiu from the Mohe River

asks to see you
and says she wants to apologize.

She's putting her head in the noose

before I take action.

Sangjiu.

Don't you think it's too late

to apologize to me?

No.

Tianhuan.

I came here

to take your life.

You've actually…

become a devil.

What a dirty and vulgar clam demon.

What a pity.

Saintess Tianhuan.

Today,

you'll be k*lled

by a dirty and vulgar clam demon.

The time has come.

Sangjiu.

Your immortal marrow
will soon be reshaped.

-Lord Immortal.
-Lord Immortal, help.

A devil got into Shangqing Realm.

-A devil?
-She took Saintess Tianhuan

to the southeastern spring.

Sangjiu.

What are you doing?

You've become a devil.

Mingye, you finally came to save me.

She took away my immortal marrow.

Help me.

Sangjiu.

If you can hear me,

put down Tianhuan's immortal marrow.

Come here.

Put it down?

Sangjiu!

Let go of me.

I must k*ll her!

Lord Immortal.

Help her out.

Yes.

Sangjiu, what exactly happened to you?

How did you become a devil?

That's what happened.

Lord Immortal.

Lü'e died in such a grievance.

Don't worry.

I'll get justice for you.

Get up.

Since you were scared today,

go back and take a good rest.

Thank you, Lord Immortal.

Have aquatic tribes of the Mohe River

truly been massacred?

Although being compelled,

you're generals from Shangqing Realm.

You should never be obsequious

or aid villains.

Lord Immortal, we were wrong.

We were deceived by Tianhuan.

Since we returned from the Mohe River,

we have been feeling guilty.

Lord Immortal,

for the sake
of our contribution to the realm,

please give us a lighter punishment.

-Please spare us.
-Please spare us.

All of you

will be sent to jail

and deprived of cultivation.

Wait for your sentences.

Scram.

Take them away.

-Yes.
-Yes.

Medicine King.

What's the cure for Sangjiu's condition?

I can't tie her up
with Ruo River Rope forever.

Her degeneration
is due to her emotional turmoil

and unstable cultivation mindset.

Tormented by the ruination

of aquatic tribes,

Madam Sangjiu degenerated into a devil.

A troubled heart
should be treated with care and love.

Care and love?

It's not easy.

I'll go see her.

Wait.

Lord Immortal, if you show up now,

I'm afraid you'll remind her
of the painful memories

and she'll sink deeper.

You'd better leave her alone

and let the pure energy

dispel some of her devil energy.

You should give her some decoction
to resolve turbidity

and not see her until she cools down.

Lord Immortal.

Although this happened
because of Tianhuan,

it's a fact

that Sangjiu became a devil
and k*lled our soldiers.

Shangqing Realm has laws.

Lord Immortal,
you can't be partial to her.

That's right, Lord Immortal.

Shangqing Realm
has been irreconcilable with devils.

Otherwise, all the sacrifices
would mean nothing.

Sangjiu, have you thought about this?

Mingye has been at odds
with devils for many years.

Many of his fellows

were k*lled by devils.

Since you've become a devil,

how could he tolerate you?

She was right.

There's no turning back for me.

Lord Immortal, Saintess Tianhuan woke up.

She lost her immortal marrow

and was soaked
in the water of the Ruo River for so long.

She's now crying and making a scene.

Has she confessed?

Yes.

This is her statement.

She has a request.

She knows she has committed a great sin,

but she still wishes

to see you one last time.

Go and tell Tianhuan

that her rebellion
against the righteous way

has made her no different from a devil.

No.

She's worse than a devil.

We have nothing to talk about.

When she's punished by the thunderbolt

and her soul is destructed,

I'll be there to supervise the execution.

How is it?

Saintess Tianhuan, don't worry.

I've notified the elders

of our tribe at your orders.

They'll soon go see Lord Immortal Mingye.

You give me such a precious gift.

Elders,

what do you want to exchange it for?

Please spare Tianhuan's life.

This crystal can help Madam Sangjiu
revive her people.

Although Tianhuan made a huge mistake,

she's the saintess of our tribe.

For the sake of the contribution
of Flying Serpent Clan,

please spare her life
and reshape her immortal marrow

before driving her away
from Shangqing Realm.

We promise

we'll put her

under house arrest

and forbid her

from stepping out
of Mist Mountain forever.

I can spare her life,

but I won't reshape her immortal marrow

and release her.

Elders,

it's too greedy of you.

Lord Immortal Mingye

insists on not reshaping
your immortal marrow

or releasing you.

Our elders have tried our best.

At least we saved your life.

Saved my life?

I've lost my immortal marrow

and am trapped
in this dark and gloomy place.

How much longer can I live?

Even if I won't suffer
from the thunderbolt,

I'm waiting here for death.

Mingye.

You truly have a heart of stone.

How ridiculous.

My father has been his benefactor

and I love him deeply,

but he repaid me with this.

Mingye.

If you don't want to save me,

then don't even think
about saving the clam demon.

Yanghe, come closer.

Tell the elders

to throw him into Barren Abyss

before telling the news to Sangjiu.

Lord Immortal.

Has the Flying Serpent Clan gone back?

Yes. They have left Shangqing Realm.

How did they know
I've purified Bone-Refining Seal

which can reshape the immortal marrow?

Maybe they've heard some rumors.

Keep an eye on Mist Mountain

and let me know the whereabouts

of those elders.

Yes.

Lord Immortal.

You just purified Bone-Refining Seal
with Fire Quadripod

which drained much of your cultivation

and now you're refining
the ten-millennia crystal.

I'm worried about you.

I know my own body better than anyone.

There's no need to say more.

If I turn this crystal
into a spirit container

and put the bodies
of aquatic tribes into it,

after 1,000 years of cultivation,

the Mohe River will be granted new life.

That will be a comfort to Sangjiu

and bring her back to the right path.

Have you heard?

Lord Immortal Mingye
has absolved Saintess Tianhuan.

The Flying Serpent Clan
has a long history.

Through generations,

many heroes like Tianhao
come from the tribe.

Lord Immortal Mingye
surely will show some mercy.

That's right.

I think so.

It's a pity for those aquatic tribes
of the Mohe River.

I heard only Sangyou survived

with a serious injury.

He's being thrown into Barren Abyss

and is as good as dead.

Sangyou.

Sangyou.

Sangyou!

Sangyou.

Sangyou!

Sangjiu.

Lord Immortal Jize.

Is that you?

Yes.

You shouldn't have come here.

You're a devil.

Don't step forward
or you'll be doomed eternally.

Sangjiu, leave now.

I won't go until I find Sangyou.

Sangjiu.

Don't be stubborn.

The abyss is full of devils.

You won't make it.

Where's Mingye?

Why did he let you come alone?

Now, I have the crystal.

Next,

all I need are the skeletons
of those aquatic tribes.

Lord Immortal.

Our soldier reported

that the elders of the Flying Serpent Clan

were suspicious.

They had contact with the servants
of Yuqing Palace in secret.

Lord Immortal.

Bad news.

Madam Sangjiu is gone.

A soldier was k*lled in the palace.

Lord Immortal.

Sangyou, I was a fool.

I should've listened to you.

Please be alive.

This is…

Sangyou!

Sangyou.

Sangyou.

It's great.

You're still alive.

Sorry that I'm late.

I'll get you out of here.

I was wondering who you are.

So you are two little clam demons.

Having been trapped for so long,

I'm starving.

You're our full meal.

Get away.

Don't be arrogant, you little clam.

Neither of you will leave here alive.

Guys,

take her!

Aren't you Lord Immortal Mingye?

You're at odds with us.

Why did you degrade yourself to come here?

God of w*r,

are you risking your life
for the little clam,

your beloved one?

Unfortunately, you came too late.

She's now a mass of bleeding flesh.

Guys, take him!

Why?

Why should we be bullied?

Tianhuan has done so many sins

but she has been forgiven.

My clansmen did nothing bad

but they had to suffer.

Sangjiu.

Sangjiu.

Wake up.

Don't degenerate any further.

Degenerate?

If you so-called noble and pure
gods and goddesses do something evil,

that's degeneration.

Isn't it?

Sangjiu, go home with me.

I'll make up for all the mistakes

I made in the past.

Go home?

Where is my home?

Tell me where it is!

She's being very emotional now.

Whatever I say, she won't listen to me.

I should calm her down first

and stop her from degenerating.

Sangjiu.

The soldiers who wiped out the Mohe River

were your troops.

How will you punish them?

Will you k*ll them?

They were deceived by Tianhuan,

owing to my weak discipline.

I'll give them a severe punishment.

Good.

Have you forgiven Tianhuan

and spared her life?

Please spare Tianhuan's life.

Our tribe will offer the crystal

that can help Madam Sangjiu
revive her people.

Yes.

Tianhuan lost her immortal marrow.

Even if I don't k*ll her,

she doesn't have many years to live.

Mingye, you're so kind.

If you spare their lives,

who should pay for the deaths

of my father and my clansmen?

Do you know what I want?

I want them all to die.

When they raised their swords
to k*ll those by the Mohe River,

they had no kindness or sympathy at all.

I'll make them

pay for their cruelty

and indifference!

Sangjiu.

I understand your pain,

but I can't watch you become a devil.

You're burying yourself with them.

It's not worth it.

Who are you?

Who do you think you are

to tell me what's worthwhile or not?

Piss off!

Get away!

You…

Sangjiu.

I need to figure out a way
to get them out of here.

Sangjiu.

Mingye, it has been a long time.

Jize?

Jize.

Why are you in Barren Abyss?

-I thought you were--
-Yes.

My body has been destroyed,
but my spirit still exists.

I decided to be imprisoned
and guard Barren Abyss

with my divine body.

I can't move within the formation,

but I may help you leave.

It's perilous in Barren Abyss.

You mustn't come here again.

Jize.

Jize, wait.

Saintess Tianhuan,
forgive us for arriving late.

Without Lord Immortal Mingye being here,

It's indeed much easier

to lift this barrier.

Since he took a risk

to enter Barren Abyss to save his girl,

why don't we

get Yuqing Palace back?

Why did you bring me here?

I thought you would take me
to Shangqing Realm

and imprison me.

After all,

I k*lled someone.

I promised you

that I'd stand by your side.

It's not a lie.

Whether you're an immortal or a demon,

you're always my Sangjiu.

Where's my brother?

I've tried my best,

but he's severely injured

and can't recover fully now.

Don't worry.

As long as we cultivate your clansmen

using the crystal,

they will have the chance to be reborn.

Sangyou.

Put the remains of aquatic tribes

into the crystal

and your clansmen

will be back after 1,000 years.

The divine power in this crystal

is Mingye's…

Sangjiu.

Since you just became a devil,

you're salvageable.

I've refined Bone-Refining Seal

and will help you

reshape your immortal marrow with it.

I've asked Medicine King.

He said as long as you
keep your mind on the right path,

with time,

you can get away from the demonic path

and return to the immortal path.

Sangjiu,

I really enjoyed the days

we spent together here.

For the rest of my life,

all I want is to live such a life,

no matter what the cost.

Could you…

Could you trust me once again?

How did you get

the ten-millennia crystal?

From the Flying Serpent Clan.

Sangjiu, listen to me.

They said

they would give me the crystal

if I spared Tianhuan's life.

I agreed.

I know you bear deep hatred,

but only with the crystal

can you bring your clansmen back to life.

You care about the lives of your clansmen

more than that of Tianhuan.

Right?

Mingye.

You're impartial and lead by example.

You're an excellent god.

However, you must understand

that this is not a transaction.

Not everything in this world

can be measured fairly

or exchanged equally.

Mingye.

Do you still remember

the story my father told me?

It's about the king who cut off his flesh

to save the dove.

He chose to do that

just out of his compassion.

The white dove looked so cute.

Anyone would have compassion for it.

As for me,

I had a crush on you

and fell in love with you.

Even if I knew I had to pay for it,

I still took the knife.

I thought

I had enough courage

to bear the cost,

but I never expected

such a huge cost.

It's too huge.

The king lost all his flesh

because of his kindness.

And I caused

the extinction of those aquatic tribes

because of you.

I am such a joke

and I hate myself for it.

I'm only a clam demon

and I'm not as devout as the king.

He didn't regret it,
so he became immortal.

However, I can't.

I regret it.

I'm so regretful
that I want to k*ll myself.

Since the day Tianhuan
slaughtered my tribe,

my heart

has been filled
with redemption and revenge.

There's no place for you.

No.

-Sangjiu.
-I'll find a way

to save my brother.

I don't want to owe you

a debt.

I'll k*ll my foe

on my own.

Tianhuan,

the Flying Serpent Clan
produced many heroes.

How could you enter into collusion

and steal the crown?

Yes.

Our clan produced many heroes.

As the daughter of Tianhao,

why can't I be the leader of the realm?

How ridiculous.

You took credit for your father's
contribution yet made none.

How can you be the leader?

When we followed Lord Immortal Mingye
to fight demons, where were you?

We'll never bow to you.

When Lord Immortal Mingye returns,

your clan will get what you deserve.

Mingye?

He has degraded himself

to go to Barren Abyss

to save a demon.

What qualifies him to condemn me?

Besides,

it's not certain

whether he'll get out of there.

That's it.

You refuse to take me as your leader.

Soldiers, throw them
into Fire Quadripod and burn them.

You…

With enough lives in it,

there will be immortal marrow for me.

It's a good idea

to refine immortal marrow
with Fire Quadripod.

I wonder
whether I'll extract something useful

if I put your clan into the quadripod.

Sangjiu.

I can't believe you're alive.

She's a devil.

Arrest and k*ll her!

No.

Don't k*ll me.

I didn't expect a saintess
would be afraid to die.

So you're no different
from little imps like us.

Don't think you're nobler.

Sangjiu.

Do you think you can revive your clansmen

by k*lling me?

Then you and Mingye can be back together?

Dream on.

You're still in denial.

Yes.

I admit you're much luckier than me

because you're going to reunite

with your clan.

Upon reflection,

I don't have much to say to you.

Goodbye,

Tianhuan.

I, Sangjiu,

take an oath

to the world.

I'll hunt down the Flying Serpent Clan

until they are

no more in this world.
