01x15 - Episode 15

[bunniefuu]

Let him go.

I'll return to the Dark Abyss with you.

After staying in the human realm for so long,

you haven't learned much,

but you've become more useless.

He's not part of the Immortal Alliance.

He's no threat to you.

Don't k*ll him.

Fine.

There's really no need

to damage the bond between us

as master and disciple for someone irrelevant.

I despise nothing more

than people scheming behind my back.

Master,

don't k*ll him!

I'm begging you!

Trying to call for reinforcements, huh?

I can help you with that.

It's Sang Qi.

What exactly are you planning?

Don't worry.

You'll find out soon enough.

Mu Xuanling

Sir!

Mr. Xie,

is Sang Qi attacking?

You're just in time.

Sang Qi is launching a night attack.

We must not let him enter the city and cause harm.

I'll take him on.

The Pearl Tower

is in your capable hands.

Be careful.

Why hasn't Su Ningzhen arrived?

Forget about her for now.

Protecting the Pearl Tower comes first.

What exactly are you trying to do?

Xie Xuechen,

we meet again.

Why have you intruded into the Snow City at night?

What business do you have?

Naturally,

I'm here to bring my disciple back.

Then I can't let you have your way.

Mu Xuanling belongs

to Snow City now.

If you want her to change loyalties,

I won't agree to it.

Mr. Xie,

I put a lot of effort

into setting up this k*lling array.

Now,

do you want a duel to the death with me,

or

will you save those suffering humans?

Mu Xuanling

wait for me!

You saw it.

He left.

For his human world,

he abandoned you.

Is this

the love

you're willing to sacrifice your life for?

It's not worth it.

You don't understand me,

and you understand him even less.

I don't need to understand someone

who's about to die.

He took the expl*si*n

of Fajian's golden essence head-on alone.

Even if he hides it well,

it won't change the fact

that he's injured.

If Xie Xuechen wants to win,

he can only fight desperately.

Xie Xuechen

Sang Qi's power

is truly overwhelming!

If this demonic energy k*lling array

covers the Snow City,

the entire place will be destroyed.

Can Mr. Xie

hold out?

Whether he can hold out, I don't know,

but you all

definitely cannot.

Who are you?

The one here for the Pearl.

Mr. Xie,

you want to keep her so badly.

Have you fallen for her?

But you probably don't know.

Ling approached you

with hidden motives

from the very beginning.

People always say the Dark Clan is inherently cruel,

and the Spirit Clan at deception.

Actually,

there's some truth to it.

I'm sure Ling never told you

that back then,

it was with my permission

that she rescued you from the Lava.

You don't believe me?

I gave her the Half-Day Glory pill

you took that day.

There's only one in existence.

What could the Lava do to him?

Keeping him there is useless.

Master,

why not try my method?

Let's hear it.

Save him,

stay with him,

get close to him,

trick him into letting down his guard,

then seize the Chaos Pearl

and destroy the Immortal Alliance.

Here is the Half-Day Glory.

Take it.

For Xie Xuechen's life,

are you even throwing yours

away?

How could I?

The Spirit Clan lives for a thousand years.

The world is vast,

and men are plentiful.

Why would I

die for someone like Xie Xuechen?

I'm just toying with him.

Rest assured, Master.

I will complete the mission,

retrieve the Chaos Pearl,

and k*ll Xie Xuechen.

If this fight continues,

you'll die.

Xie Xuechen!

The Xie family of the Snow City

all share

a stubborn flaw.

But in my eyes,

it's just inherited

arrogance.

He won't lose!

Ling,

it's time for us to go.

Mr. Xie,

it seems you've paid quite a price.

Xie Xuechen

I won't believe what he says.

Love truly leads to ruin.

Even Mr. Xie is trapped in it.

You know full well the recording stone doesn't lie,

yet here you are,

deceiving yourself.

Xie Xuechen!

Xie Xuechen!

Mr. Xie,

do you still want to fight?

Your injuries are severe.

If you keep fighting,

you will really die.

All because of Ling,

you want a duel to the death with me?

Is it worth it?

Mu Xuanling's demonic power is gone.

She has no ties to the Dark Abyss anymore.

She is now a disciple of the Snow City.

I said enough.

Don't you understand?

Master has already told you the truth.

What's wrong?

You don't want to believe it?

Let me tell you the truth,

this act of liking you

has gone on long enough.

I'm already sick of it.

I am the proud Saintess of the Dark Abyss.

What makes you think

I'd willingly stay in the Snow City

as a lowly cleaning disciple,

at your beck and call?

No

These are not true words from your heart.

Xie Xuechen,

you're so full of yourself.

You were nothing more to me

than a substitute for my Mister,

just a toy.

I only wanted to see

what the Chosen of Heaven

would look like caught in a web of love.

And now that I see it.

It's honestly quite dull.

Just like any ordinary person,

trapped by love,

unable to let go.

You're gravely injured.

How could you possibly be a match

for Master and me?

♪ For love, braving the storms, crossing the years ♪

Xie Xuechen,

not k*lling you

is only because you saved my life.

Stop deceiving yourself and ruining my plans.

Otherwise,

I really will k*ll you.

♪ A life with no worries or regrets ♪

Ling,

it's time to go back.

I've waited for you for ten thousand years

the Chaos Pearl!

Ridiculous!

Mr. Xie,

you've arrived quite quickly.

You didn't k*ll them.

Hand over the Chaos Pearl,

and I'll spare your life.

Mr. Xie, do you really think

you can command me?

You endured the golden essence expl*si*n

and Sang Qi's blows.

How much spiritual power

do you have left?

However much remains

I face death,

but I do not retreat!

For what you wish to protect,

you've always given your all.

But if you realized that what you're protecting is a joke,

I wonder how you'd feel.

The Chaos Pearl is still in the Pearl Tower.

But when you see it,

you might be disappointed.

No way

Even if an ancient artifact perishes,

it can never shatter.

Could it be fake?

For what you wish to protect,

you've always given your all.

But if you realized that what you're protecting is a joke,

I wonder how you'd feel.

The Chaos Pearl has been heavily guarded by the Immortal Alliance.

How could it be fake?

Could it be

you made a mistake?

I'm also curious

who could the masterful one be,

using a fake pearl

to fool the entire Immortal Alliance

for so long?

I misspoke earlier.

I shouldn't have

doubted you, Master.

No harm done.

The act is over now.

It's time to remove the disguise.

Master, your disguise techniques

are truly brilliant.

However,

this is my first time impersonating you.

Though I tried my best to mimic you,

I still worry someone might uncover the tricks.

You've followed me for many years,

and have always been my most trusted agent.

When facing Sang Qi and Xie Xuechen earlier,

you showed no fear.

Why, then, are you worried tonight?

Because tonight should've been the night

our plan succeeded.

No mistakes were allowed.

But unexpectedly,

the greatest mistake

turned out to be the Chaos Pearl itself.

Our grand cause isn't urgent.

As long as the Chaos Pearl still exists in this world,

hope remains unbroken.

One day,

I'll make

the world you yearn for a reality.

Having you impersonate me tonight

was merely to prove my presence.

In the future, unless necessary,

I won't ask you to do it again.

Return now.

The longer you stay, the more suspicious they'll become.

Let those in the Immortal Alliance

help us figure out

where exactly the Chaos Pearl is.

I've already returned with you.

What more do you want?

If you truly wish to come back,

I would naturally be delighted.

But you did it

for Xie Xuechen!

Did you think I wouldn't notice?

You said to him

those harsh words

just because you were worried

I'd take his life.

Since you know this,

why not just k*ll me?

Xie Xuechen

struggled so hard to save your life,

and now you're so ready to throw it away?

Let me tell you,

he expelled your demonic power

but passed on the Jade Vault Technique

to you.

He's treated you

so extraordinarily well.

The Jade Vault Technique is truly profound.

I always wondered

how could his power grow stronger

even after his spiritual channels

were destroyed seven years ago?

It turns out the Jade Vault Technique

can truly rebuild spiritual channels.

He passed the Jade Vault Technique to me?

No wonder

I have been recovering

day by day,

and I'm no longer afraid of the burning sun.

But why didn't I know this myself?

He passed the Jade Vault Technique to you,

and now you possess spiritual channels.

With the Immortal Alliance's Spiritual Forms gathered in the Snow City,

if they discover this,

the Alliance members

will surely put you to death.

He thought he could deceive everyone,

but he couldn't fool me.

How do you know this?

Xie Xuechen

can block

Heartstring's control over you,

but he cannot block

Heartstring's perception of you.

No matter where you are,

I can always find your location,

and I can understand

your physical condition.

So when your demonic power was expelled

and your spiritual channels were unlocked,

I knew it even better

than you did.

So everything you've done

isn't just

to obtain the Chaos Pearl and break the Immortals Array.

It's also for the Jade Vault Technique.

I have to do this!

Cultivating demonic power

can make me stronger,

but it's far from enough.

If I can unlock spiritual channels,

I will break through

the limits of Spirit Clan cultivation.

From then on,

I'll fear no one.

What is this?

It's a medicine to ease your pain.

It's called the Disillusion Water.

Take it, and you'll break all emotions,

forgetting both love and hate.

You may still remember

the people you've met

and the experiences you've had,

but recalling them

will no longer

stir your heart.

All your love

stems from Xie Xuechen,

and your hatred toward me

is also because of him.

Once you forget your love for him,

you'll also forget

your hatred toward me.

You'll only remember

that you approached him on my orders

to seize the Chaos Pearl.

Everything you've said to him

and everything you've done

were just tactics.

All of it was false.

From now on,

the barriers between us

will no longer exist.

Only then

will I

spare your life.

I won't drink it!

Ling,

I'm truly doing this for your sake.

Falling in love with a human

is harmful, not beneficial.

The human heart

is the most complex and ever-changing thing.

Today, they might treat you

with soft words,

but tomorrow, they could turn their backs,

even

abandon you like a worn-out shoe

and k*ll you.

I truly don't want

such a thing

to happen to you.

Sang Qi,

have you ever loved someone?

She hurt you, right?

Twenty years ago,

you lost an arm.

Was it because of her?

Silence!

But, Sang Qi,

you've been betrayed,

you've been hurt,

yet you still refuse to take the Disillusion Water.

Why?

Because you don't want to forget

the warmth she gave you,

even if it might have been fake.

Neither would I!

Once it's taken,

there's no turning back.

You and Xie Xuechen

are destined to become enemies.

Mister!

Mu Xuanling!

Half a day isn't enough

to understand the human world.

If there's ever a chance,

I'll take you to see the real human world.

Mu Xuanling, disciple of Snow City, protects the array!

This is Snow City,

and this is my decision.

Tonight,

I feel as though I've seen

the real human world.

Xie Xuechen

[Bright Snowy Pavilion]

As long as you're by my side,

the sun and moon still rise and fall,

and the universe still endures,

we will always be together.

Don't leave

Don't leave!

Sir.

Sir,

you're awake.

Where's Mu Xuanling?

Where's Mu Xuanling?

I brought you medicine,

but unexpectedly,

I encountered Sang Qi attacking the city.

When I arrived,

the only thing left by your side was this folding fan.

As for Miss Mu,

according to the Immortal Alliance,

she was taken away by Sang Qi.

Even Mr. Xie couldn't stop him.

Do you know what it feels like to gain, only to lose again?

So, she truly was the one in my dreams,

and yet I couldn't protect her.

To gain and lose again

is one of life's greatest regrets.

I can understand

the pain within.

Since she and the one in your dreams

are the same,

what do you plan to do?

There were three times

I tried to protect her,

but each time, I failed.

The first time, when I was young,

I wanted to take her away

from the Moonlight Heights.

But I couldn't fulfill my wish.

The second time, during the Immortal Alliance trial,

I prepared the Separation Array for her,

hoping to help her escape.

But in the end,

it was never put to use.

This time,

when Sang Qi attacked,

I thought I could finally protect her.

But in the end,

I failed completely.

Tell me

if this is fate,

then why is my bond with her

so deep?

She is both my old friend

and the one in my dreams.

In the depths of my heart,

I feel it's my destiny

to guard her,

to protect her.

What about Xie Xuechen?

How is he?

Gravely injured,

he remains unconscious.

[Swirling Snow Pavilion]

Senior,

you're awake.

Mr. Nan, thank you

for sacrificing the ancient herb

to create medicine for Mr. Xie.

How was she taken by Sang Qi?

Sir,

Mu Xuanling leaving with Sang Qi

means betraying Snow City.

You must act decisively.

Judge people

by their heart.

I know what kind of person Mu Xuanling is.

She did not betray Snow City.

She's just using her own way

to give me a reason to let go of her guilt-free

so I can save the humans.

However,

I knowingly let her fall to Sang Qi.

In the end, I owe her.

Senior.

Sir.

Elder,

Yan Tong,

go inform the other sects

that I'm fine now.

Go.

Understood.

Senior, don't forget to drink the medicine.

If you had given it your all,

you could have stopped Sang Qi

and kept her here, right?

But you didn't do it.

Xie Xuechen

do you regret it?

I once asked Elder Cang,

how should I weigh

and how should I choose

between the life of one person, a hundred people,

and ten thousand people

What my father worried about

was like a curse.

I resisted it over and over,

kept questioning it.

And yet today,

it still happened.

In the end,

I still made

that choice.

Since meeting

Mu Xuanling,

it's been a story of debts.

What you and I care about is different,

yet the outcome is the same.

You couldn't save her

because of duty,

while I couldn't save her

because I lacked strength.

In the end, the one who bears all the pain

is her alone.

Now she's in the Dark Abyss,

and we both know

what we must do.

Sir,

how is Mr. Xie?

After taking the ancient herb you brought,

he's fine now.

Feng Yao,

would you die for me?

I would.

Then do you love me?

No.

So, it's the same with her.

When Sang Qi attacked,

she risked her life to save me.

But the one she saved

was just

an old friend.

Nothing more.

You should've known this all along.

No.

You've always known.

Yes.

I've always known.

I was just clinging to that bit of time

we spent together,

lost in a dream

I've had for years.

But she clearly loves him,

why would she turn against him

and never see him again,

just to fulfill his wishes?

Feng Yao,

what exactly is love?

Sir, you're asking the wrong person.

As for this question,

I probably understand even less than you.

If I truly understood nothing at all,

then maybe it'd be easier.
