The Taoism Grandmaster
Episode 17
What are you doing?
I'm kissing you
to reward you.
That's not a reward.
You didn't get my permission.
How would I refuse a reward?
If you want to give me back,
it's okay.
Come on.
Let's talk some business.
How can we
defeat General Shadow?
Although he's from the Wolf's World,
everything about him
remains a mystery.
According to what you've said,
what he used
was Spirit-Bound Ghost Shadow which disappeared long ago.
Spirit-Bound Ghost Shadow.
With this,
we can use the Change of Destiny
to figure out how to deal with him.
But it takes some time.
You should follow others first.
I'll be after you.
Will you work it out in time?
Don't worry, if I can't make it,
I'll send you to Alliance of Five Great Mountains immediately.
Muddling Worm.
We're friends now.
You can't bite me anymore.
It said that it can't care much
because it only wanted to save your life.
It seems you two have a really good relationship.
Well.
Leave here, now.
I need to do the calculations now.
OK.
It never occurred to me
that I'd be betrayed only a few days
after I became the Commander.
I really should do reflections about myself.
Why are you shaking?
I don't kill people.
Am I really that scary?
No.
I'm quite aware of
how capable a fox is.
You're only a pig.
How could you not be fooled?
I thought Zi Liuli and I were friends.
It never occurred to me that she would sell me out.
Being friends with a fox
will make you unlucky forever.
However,
I understand,
that Zi Liuli looks adorable
and enchanting.
To be frank,
I also like her.
It's a pity
that she betrayed me.
I announce
that Zi Liuli is a traitor of the Wolf's World.
From now on,
execute her.
I'll let you, poor Dragon Pig, do this.
Every time you fail to do it,
I'll take something from you.
It's your left eye this time.
It'll be your right eye next time,
and your right hand the time after next time.
I won't stop until you kill Zi Liuli.
Are you clear?
Ye... yes.
There's already a traitor.
It's not safe here.
I decided
that we withdraw from Dead Ruins.
If those competitors
escaped from General Shadow's assassination,
allow them to respite for a while.
We'll carry out the next task.
Faceless Man, I need you.
Commander.
What's the special task?
To take the Saint Armor.
I need a group of warriors
to work for me.
Commander,
I can take care of this.
OK.
The rest just hide in the leylines.
I'll summon you
when I need you.
Such a harvest!
Yes.
Papa, look.
There. Look.
Hello everyone, look that!
What's this?
What's going on?
Everybody, look there.
- Look there. - There
- It's coming. - What's that?
What's that?
Yeah.
What's that?
From now on,
I'm your master.
Gong.
Feeling better?
It still hurts.
But I can fight now.
Great.
How is it going?
Have you got in touch with others?
I have no idea.
Ghost Valley is filled with ghost miasma,
which blocked the communication between Elfs of Mirror.
Maybe they can get the message.
Maybe they cannot.
Whether they can get the message or not,
they won't come here.
Why?
Because I changed my mind.
I told them not to come here.
Are you mad?
Do you hope we're all
killed by General Shadow?
Is it possible that Han Shang
has already been haunted by General Shadow?
Han Shang wasn't haunted.
Stop babbling.
Who can prove this?
- I can. - I can prove it, too.
We two can tell
whether he's Han Shang or not.
Let's suppose you really are Han Shang.
Why did you stop others from saving us?
Because I thought it very weird
that General Shadow kept us alive
after he killed
so many people.
Did he want to
use us as bait
to attract all competitors
coming here
to kill we competitors all?
That's quite reasonable.
If that's General Shadow's plan,
I'm afraid that someone here
may be haunted by him.
Although I really want to become the Taoism Seeker,
I'd never let General Shadow
get what he wants
for the success of the Second War.
I finally find you.
General Shadow.
He can't be...
I'm not your Senior Disciple.
I'm General Shadow.
Let's leave here.
Let's go.
Go.
Help me.
Please help me.
Don't leave me here.
Please don't.
General Shadow has left him.
Where did he go?
Maybe
he already haunted one of us.
Wait a sec.
What's wrong?
The ghost miasma around Ghost Valley
is lifting slowly.
Elf the First,
which way shall we choose?
The left one.
Ghost miasma is getting thinner.
My sense is getting stronger.
Maybe we can
get in touch with Han Shang soon.
OK. Hurry up.
Tie Lang.
Why are your teammates and you so weird?
You keep away from me,
while he is secretly far behind us.
I have no idea.
You can ask him.
Two weirdos.
No wonder you can be friends.
What are you doing? Let me go.
Why?
No one can see me.
I like doing like this.
Don't you want to know
how to deal with General Shadow?
How?
Tell me.
General Shadow chose to haunt people,
because he is getting weaker.
He need to kill people by the power of the host.
Is it because he was hurt
by five chiefs?
What are you doing?
His Core was already destroyed by five chiefs.
And he's kept chasing
your companions these days.
I think he's already going to die.
Or he wouldn't use Spirit-Bound Ghost Shadow
to try to kill the competitors.
Will Spirit-Bound Ghost Shadow
accelerate his death?
Right.
If my calculation is right,
General Shadow can haunt people six times at most
according to his residual magical power.
Although you can't stop Spirit-Bound Ghost Shadow,
there's a big drawback about it.
He should left the body of the host
before the host died.
Or he would die together with the host.
And I
am capable of
keeping General Shadow restricted in the body of the host
so that he can't leave.
If you are right,
we have to
give up one of the competitors.
We can't.
You offered a bad idea.
We can't do this.
This is the only way to fix this.
General Shadow is made of Qi of Pure Yin.
What he's afraid of most is fire.
If you can surround him with fire,
he can't run away.
But...
We got the message.
Wait for me.
We just got the message from Han Shang.
Yes, and from Mei Kongyun, too.
Han Shang said
Mei Kongyun's already been haunted by General Shadow.
And she is approaching us.
He wanted us to kill Mei Kongyun
as soon as we see her.
What did Mei Kongyun say?
She said
one of the Han's Brothers
was haunted by General Shadow.
She told us not to believe in what they said.
Who shall we believe?
Mei Kongyun,
Han's Brothers and Luo Cha from Immortal Medical Team
are approaching us.
Do something.
No time for hesitation.
What shall we do?
If you don't give away one person,
you'll lose more people.
There isn't much time.
Make a decision now.
Stop compelling me.
I'm not compelling you.
I've said that others' lives are none of my business.
For now,
we can only restrict them in a formation
and decide what to do later.
What can we do with them?
Is killing them useful?
We still can't kill General Shadow.
This is the only way now.
They're only
300 miles from here.
300 miles?
I have an idea.
Why didn't you say it earlier?
I just came up with it.
I remember in my father's notes,
when I was young,
I read about
how to deal with General Shadow.
However,
we need a sacrifice.
- Sacrifice? - Sacrifice?
Mei Kongyun,
I won't let you
meet Kunlun.
I'm not General Shadow.
I'm not.
So are we?
If you're not General Shadow,
then stop fighting.
But one of you are General Shadow.
How can I not fight?
The Roaring Sand.
The Flying Flame.
Let's go.
Mei Kongyun.
You have no where to go.
Let's do it.
At first,
General Shadow letting out ghost miasma
to block our communication
was to attract we all competitors
to Ghost Valley
and kill us all.
I think the disappearing of ghost miasma
is out of the same reason.
He wants us
to stay with Han Shang.
Because General Shadow is already attached
to one of them.
The only way
to find the real host
is to subdue them all.
I don't think it could work.
General Shadow can leave the host
and haunt others any time he wants.
He was made of
the evilest Qi of Pure Yin.
Raging fire and Qi of Pure Yang
are what he's afraid of.
It's easy to get raging fire.
I have Raging Fire Thunder Beads.
My Magic Wrapping Rope contains Qi of Pure Yang,
which can tie up the evil.
Will it work?
Of course it will work!
According to what you said,
we just finished
the first step of our plan.
Now we can be divided into two groups.
One group catch Han Shang and his companion.
The other group,
stay with me
and offer me some special tools.
To in case of bad things,
I need a secret weapon.
A secret weapon?
Me again?
It's another person this time.
Him!
Drop your weapons down.
Kunlun.
Mei Kongyun was haunted by General Shadow.
Catch her, now!
It's not like that.
One of them was haunted
instead of me.
If you're not haunted,
why did you meet them?
You must want to kill more competitors.
You are General Shadow.
Did you hear me?
Drop your weapons down.
The enemy is in front of us.
How can we drop our weapons down?
Catch them.
Or you'll regret.
Han Shang.
Don't mind him.
Kill Mei Kongyun first.
Yu.
Don't do stupid things.
Han Shang.
Yu is right.
Let's kill her.
This is the last time I say it.
Drop your weapons down.
Kunlun.
Are you still doubting me?
Haven't you got my message?
Yes, I have.
But General Shadow is too scary.
We can't let you fight alone.
But each one of you five
may be haunted by General Shadow.
Therefore,
whoever doesn't want to drop down the weapon
is most dubitable.
I won't drop down the weapon,
unless they do first.
Han Shang, we can't drop the weapon down.
It's dangerous.
If General Shadow haunts us secretly again,
do you know what would happen?
General Shadow was made of
the evilest Qi of Pure Yin.
He is afraid of Qi of Pure Yang and raging fire.
He can't escape from this belt of fire formation.
As long as you drop down your weapons,
we can find him.
OK. Count to three.
Let's drop down the weapons together.
Whoever doesn't drop it down
is General Shadow.
One.
Two.
Three.
The Southern Mount Song.
Magic Wrapping Rope.
What do you mean?
Qi of Pure Yang in the Magic Wrapping Rope
can help to restrict General Shadow in the body of the host
so that he can't escape.
To kill General Shadow,
I'm sorry for what I did.
Zhang Ling.
I'll let you handle this.
How's it going?
Have you prepared everything?
Yes.
But...
I do believe Zhang Ling.
But can we
really deal with General Shadow by this?
The deadline of going back
to the Alliance is really tight.
If we can't deal with him this time,
there's really nothing we can do.
They're here.
Qianqiu,
are things prepared?
Yes.
OK. When we entered,
please protect here outside.
If we failed,
blow this stage immediately
and go back to Alliance of Five Great Mountains.
No hesitation.
And no rescue operation.
Are we clear?
Yes.
Ju Xiong.
Are you gonna torture us?
We're not prisoners.
Han Shang.
Are we gonna let them do what they want?
We won't enter it unless you tell us what's happening.
Everything we're doing
is for a goal
to save most people
at least cost.
Please be cooperative.
What if we don't enter it?
You don't enter it?
You can try this.
Anyone doesn't get in
will be shot.
Don't give me the chance to fight.
Otherwise,
you're responsible for this.
The real form of General Shadow
is Qi of Pure Yin.
When he is in the host,
the blood of the host
will also contain Qi of Pure Yin.
So,
to find the real host,
the best way
is to test their blood.
Can we leave here immediately
after testing our blood?
I'll do it first.
Why not do the test together.
If there's Qi of Pure Yin
in Mei Kongyun's blood,
when it touches
the glowing arrowhead,
General Shadow will show himself.
Mei Kongyun, you do this first.
Mei Kongyun wasn't haunted.
Release me.
I don't want to stay with them.
Do you hear me?
Ying. Let her go.
OK.
Mei Kongyun can leave here now.
Let Immortal Medical Team cure her.
The next is Han Shang.
Calm down.
Don't kill the wrong person.
We won't do anything if you don't.
Han Shang wasn't haunted, either.
Let him go.
Han Shang, you can leave here.
Don't be afraid.
I'll stay here with you.
Han Shang. You can leave first.
We'll be okay.
No. Han Shang, stay here.
I won't leave.
Zhang Ling, do it.
The next one is Han Yu.
Wait a sec. Zhang Ling.
In case of something unsure,
Han Shang should leave here.
Han Shang. Stay here.
One of them must be haunted,
it's really dangerous now.
Yu. What are you doing now?
I'm Gong.
Don't you know me?
How can I know that you really are Gong?
I don't want to sit here.
Let me go.
- Freeze. - Don't make us do this.
What are you doing?
Everyone please calm down.
Han Shang. Leave here now.
- Leave here. - Han Shang.
Let me go.
Careful.
They found General Shadow.
Be ready.
Careful. Yu was haunted.
Careful.
Don't touch Qi of Pure Yin.
What can you do after finding me?
Can you kill me?
Han Shang.
I don't want to die.
Don't let them kill me. Han Shang.
Han Shang.
Do it.
Let's go.
Yu.
Let Han Shang go.
He's not Han Yu anymore.
However superb your trick is,
in my eyes,
it's like child's play.
You can never
escape from me.
I heard that you know technique of hidden.
Your ability to assassinate is famous in the Three Realms.
Really?
So what?
So I'm gonna do the same thing to you.
My secret weapon.
You can show yourself now.
I don't know how you come and go like a shadow.
I can't know
how you can be so unnoticeable
among us.
What I can make sure is that
this is why you're so excellent.
Therefore,
I need you to hide in the stage in advance.
If we missed the chance,
you'll be our last weapon.
To give him
the dose of his own medicine.
You should do the assassination.
You can't hurt Yu.
You can't go there. It's dangerous.
Let me go.
I can't.
Don't kill me.
I'm Han Yu.
General Shadow left him.
Feifei.
Tie Lang.
Zhang Ling.
Tie Lang. Tie Lang.
He's not Tie Lang anymore.
There's nothing you can do.
You return to the Alliance first.
I'll find Tie Lang.
Zhang Ling.
What's happening?
I'm gonna save Tie Lang.
Don't be stupid.
How are you gonna save him?
By killing him?
Time is already very tight now.
If we don't set out now,
we can't go back
before midnight of tomorrow.
Everyone would be eliminated.
You go back first.
Feifei.
We can't find a way
to save Tie Lang now.
We should go back now.
I'll do my best.
He was haunted to save me.
Can I abandon him?
Right.
Maybe Zhang Ling knows what to do.
Right. He'll figure out a way.
Are you not afraid of being eliminated?
I am. But I still need to do this.
Senior Disciple. Yun Qi.
I know we had a deal that we'd stay together.
But you know,
it's not possible.
Because only one of us
can be the Taoism Seeker.
One day you'll leave me
and move on.
Maybe
today is that day you should let me go.
I'm sorry.
You can go.
Senior Disciple.
I don't want you to regret for the rest of your life.
Go.
Thank you.
Just want to breaking through the obstruct of misfortune.
Stop following him.
No one can save Tie Lang.
Do you hear me?
Stop looking for Tie Lang.
This is the sixth time for General Shadow
to use Spirit-Bound Ghost Shadow .
That means
he won't live for long.
He won't leave Tie Lang.
You can do nothing even you can find him.
What's your attitude?
If you don't go back,
you'll be eliminated
and you can't be the Taoism Seeker.
Have you forgot what you promised?
Zhang Ling.
Fine. Don't blame me.
Do it.
Do you want to knock me out
then bring me back?
Tell you what,
if you do this,
I'll quit the Taoism Trial Competition.
How dare you!
You wanna try?
And, in the future,
if my friends are in trouble
and you stop me again,
I'll kill you.
I'm doing this
for your safety.
You're making me wickedly selfish!
Your not caring about your life
is wickedly selfish.
I don't care.
And,
let me tell you,
don't be around me anymore.
Don't drag me
as if you don't have waist.
Although I'm selfish,
I know what shame is.
Stop.
No need for tricks.
I won't give up Tie Lang.
Are you okay?
Is this time real or fake one?
Of course it's fake.
I don't want you to feel sorry for me.
Are you okay?
Let me go.
Does my life have anything to do with you?
You're making me wickedly selfish again.
I'm not your friend.
You surely are.
Where are you going?
Looking for Tie Lang.
Where else can I go?
Didn't you say
that no one can save Tie Lang?
Yes, I did.
But he may save himself.
Do you mean
that you know what to do?
I do.
But I don't know where he is.
I know.
Eighteenth.
Wake up. Wake up.
Do you know what time it is?
Let me sleep, please.
I have something urgent to ask you.
Wait until tomorrow.
See you.
Don't sleep. Wake up.
Tell me,
where is Tie Lang?
Tie Lang?
Wait a sec.
Let me check.
Don't sleep.
Wake up.
Tell me now.
It's really urgent.
Did... did I fall asleep?
There. There.
I found him.
He is there,
on the left slope 200 miles away.
It seems he stopped.
I didn't feel any movement.
OK. Thanks.
Keep sleeping. Good night.
Let's go.
Tie Lang.
He's still breathing.
Tie Lang.
Wake up. Tie Lang.
Can you hear me?
General Shadow is still in his body.
He wouldn't leave.
Isn't General Shadow dying?
After he died,
can Tie Lang wake up?
General Shadow is using him
to prolong his life.
So when General Shadow dies,
Tie Lang will also die.
The only person who can deal with General Shadow
is Tie Lang himself.
What do you mean?
The reason why General Shadow can control Tie Lang
is that Tie Lang's consciousness
is sealed in Mind Sea.
If you can wake up his consciousness,
he can use his own consciousness
to break through the seal
and force General Shadow out.
Talk to him.
What should I say?
Whatever.
I'm afraid that Tie Lang doesn't have much time.
Tie Lang.
Can you hear me?
Tie Lang.
If you can hear me,
you can blink
or you can move your mouth.
Tie Lang. Don't be so silent.
Tie Lang.
I know that
you can hear me, right?
The only person who can defeat General Shadow
is yourself.
You can't give up. Tie Lang.
Hold on, please.
Although we've not been friends for very long,
we've experienced
life and death many times.
Every time,
you, the disciple of Immortal Zhengyang,
never let me down.
Do you remember
when we fight with Qiongqi together?
You couldn't tell what is left and what is right.
You hit me a lot.
But without you,
without you carrying me
to run out of the Dreamland,
I would be beaten up by Qiongqi.
And... and,
in the last battle of Five Great Mountains,
if you didn't get me out of the water,
I would have died.
You're kind of stubborn that
anything you decided
can't be changed by anyone.
Sometimes you're as stubborn as a mule.
I really want to beat you.
Do you know that? Tie Lang.
But with your persistence,
I can be a competitor with you,
talk about everything with you,
and be battle companion
like brothers.
Tie Lang, this time,
we won't lose either, right?
We won't be defeated by General Shadow.
We won't be defeated by such a bastard.
Am I right? Tie Lang.
Or who will fight with me
in the future?
You want to wake him up?
Then who accompany with me in the hell?
Don't sleep.
Fight with him.
You can do this.
You surely can do this, Tie Lang.
Tie Lang.
What's wrong?
What's the matter?
His pulse condition is getting weaker.
He can't defeat General Shadow.
Impossible.
He can wake up.
He won't lose so easily.
Zhang Ling.
Feifei.
I know what to do.
Tie Lang will survive.
Feifei.
It's so great that you're here.
Then Tie Lang can live.
How is him?
Stop talking.
Listen to me first.
General Shadow sealed Tie Lang's consciousness
in Mind Sea.
The only way to save him
is to wake up his consciousness.
Have you tried?
I tried.
But it's useless.
So you're the key now.
Because deep in Tie Lang's heart,
you're much more important than me.
How could it be possible?
Aren't you two good teammates?
Because Tie Lang... Tie Lang,
Don't mutter.
Say it.
Tie Lang doesn't have much time.
Say it.
As long as I can save him,
I'll do anything.
He's in love with you.
Zhang Ling.
Are you in love with Donghuang Feifei?
Stop talking!
What?
Feifei, I was not talking to you.
Come here. Go.
Tie Lang.
Tie Lang loves you.
He told me himself.
But we all know that
there's only Kunlun
in your heart.
That's why he dared not to express his love to you.
Feifei, please tell Tie Lang,
tell him
that you know his feelings about you.
Tell him.
I...
What should I say?
Whatever.
Anything.
Tell him.
Tie Lang, listen to me.
I don't believe in Zhang Ling.
I don't believe that you're in love with me
unless you tell me yourself.
Tie Lang. Wake up.
Tie Lang. If you're a man,
you should express your love to me.
Wake up.
Feifei.
My life belongs to you.
Then stay here
and fight with the Wolf's World.
What's happening?
What kind of strength is it?
How could it be so familiar?
That's impossible.
Impossible.
Tie Lang.
The Magical Egg is incubated.
General Shadow.
It never occurred to me
that I would be killed by you.
It never occurred to me...
What's going on?
Where am I?
Zhang Ling.
Feifei.
Where are we?
You were haunted by General Shadow.
But you just
forced him out
and killed him.
I killed him?
Exactly.
This...
This is not my sword.
This is your sword.
It seems that your magical egg
has incubated a chick.
This is my Imperial Artifact?
I made it.
This is my Imperial Artifact.
Boy, are you hitting me?
You're lucky.
Zhang Ling beats me.
You both bully me.
Where's your Imperial Artifact?
Mine?
Don't mention this.
I didn't see it.
Wait a sec.
Incubating?
Chick?
Why didn't I ever see
such Imperial Artifact?
We'll tell you later.
Let's leave here first.
How are you?
Are you okay?
I'm fine.
Maybe killing General Shadow
cost me some magical power.
Just now,
when I was haunted by General Shadow,
I felt like being kept
in a dark room.
I seemed to have heard your voice.
It was this voice that gave me strength,
very strong one.
So I could force General Shadow out.
I remember that you told me.
I said nothing.
That was your illusion.
My illusion?
Zhang Ling, was it my illusion?
Maybe... maybe it was.
There. There.
Since General Shadow was killed
and you're safe now.
Let's stay with other people.
Zhang Ling, come here.
I have something to tell you.
Now?
Who are you talking with?
Nobody. Nobody.
I'm...
I'm talking to myself.
- What's up? - I want to...
I want to go to the toilet.
Wait for me.
I'll be back soon. Sorry.
Zhang Ling. Zhang Ling.
What do you want to say?
You love Donghuang Feifei, right?
Nonsense.
I'm serious.
I'm a fox.
I'm really good at lying.
You can't lie to me.
You do love Donghuang Feifei.
Or why would you mutter
when you express love
for Tie Lang?
Does it matter to you
that I love someone?
Of course it matters.
I don't like Donghuang Feifei.
Why don't you like her?
You two are not enemies.
She did nothing to you.
Looking at your eye contact with her
makes me not like her.
Zi Liuli,
tell you what,
I just promised you that I would try to be the Taoism Seeker.
As for the other things,
you can't manage.
I wouldn't let you manage.
You can't manage who I like
and who I don't like.
You.
It seems that
you're also really good at quarreling.
Actually,
it doesn't matter how I feel about Feifei.
There's only Kunlun in her eyes.
Besides, Tie Lang also loves her.
Don't you think all these things
are too complicated and amused?
You can't
just stay away about something.
What Donghuang Feifei brought you was only misfortune.
Stop talking nonsense.
I'm not.
My Magical Purple Eyes
can find all chances in the world.
I just saw...
Are you okay?
Is your injury worse?
I don't need you to care about me.
I think...
you should stay with your companions first.
Get your injury cured first,
or they'll find out.
I can't go back.
The Vanguard Army already knew that I'm a traitor.
What's your plan now?
I don't know.
You should return to Alliance of Five Great Mountains.
When I'm okay,
I'll find you.
Don't be late,
or you can't be the Taoism Seeker.
Ghost Valley
isn't for healing your wounds.
It's so infertile.
You can go to City of No Tears
at the foot of Mount Tai.
Then we'll be close.
And we can care for each other.
I don't have the strength to walk.
