"Ashes of Love"
"Episode 53"
I'm sure you've heard of...
the mandate from Heaven Realm.
It's God's will for me to be reborn through nirvana.
I will not let this opportunity go in vain.
I will atone for my parents' crimes.
Yet Run Yu keeps provoking my hatred and vengeance I have for him...
for killing my parents,
I will never forget it.
I will make him pay all the price.
Your Highness, what is your plan?
Now,
I'm no longer a god, neither a fairy nor human.
In this big world,
there's no longer a place for me to be.
I've decided to become a demon.
To come head to head with Run Yu.
It's my pleasure to lend you a helping hand, Your Highness.
We now need a well-thought-out plan to take down King of Gucheng.
I have placed a special soldier just for this day to come.
We've caught Li Chuan.
But he just died in prison from Jiang Zhu Grass poisoning.
- My Lord. - Li Chuan?
No, wait, you're not Li Chuan.
You have a sharp eye, Your Highness. He is Li Chuan's twin brother,
Mo Qi.
For our plan to succeed,
we need 1 more key person.
Princess, do you recognize this?
Where did you get this seal from?
When I went down to earth with His Highness for redemption,
I met a strange man by chance and offered help.
He gave me this seal.
The strange man told me this seal can grant me a wish.
It wasn't a big deal to help.
I wasn't expecting anything in return.
Plus, I don't have anything I truly want to wish for.
Princess, why don't you take this back to earth.
Maybe you might find his owner.
It'd be good to return it to the owner.
Or perhaps, Princess, you can go to him for help.
I'm sure it'd be more use than me keeping it.
Liao Yuan, you had been a loyal man.
You did a good deed,
now it benefits Xu Feng.
It's also a comfort for your spirit in Heaven.
Li Chuan?
You're still alive?
I escaped.
Since you managed to stay alive,
why come back?
I live like a dead man.
I don't understand.
I've only ever been obsessed with herbs and never interfered anything.
Why did you try to kill me? Why?
You have gone mad.
Xu Feng found out about your Jiang Zhu Grass.
If you don't die,
do you want him to keep snooping and trace it back to me?
If it were not for your Qiong Qi plague needle,
how would I plant Jiang Zhu Grass?
You'd rather shift the responsibility and let me die?
So what if that's true?
You killed King of Yancheng.
Speaking of which,
I really ought to thank you.
If it were not for your Jiang Zhu Grass,
I would never have got rid of the old Demon Lord.
How dare you kill the Demon Lord for the sake of the throne!
And even push the blame to someone else!
Very well.
Now you know it all.
Do you know that the one who knows most, dies the fastest?
Now you won't even have the chance to live an undignified life.
Hold it!
Xu Feng?
You've really come back to life.
Mo Qi, thank you for helping me.
It's only my duty.
You two...
You just admitted yourself that you killed King of Yancheng.
What more do you have to say?
That's right.
I did murder King of Yancheng.
So what?
I am now the new Demon Lord.
You can't touch me.
I may not be able to touch you.
But there's definitely someone who can in Demon Realm.
Great Elder.
In the Demon Realm,
what's the punishment for...
murdering the Demon Lord and endangering our king?
Crucify the bones, dump into the River of Unmindfulness.
In that case, we'll do as you said.
Great Elder.
With the power vested in me, I, the Great Elder...
represent all 12 kingdoms to demote you as Demon Lord!
You...
Xu Feng.
I've fallen into your trap.
King of Qingcheng,
please take the charge.
Thank you, Fire Immortal for saving Demon Realm.
I'll take it from here now.
He still escaped.
Never mind.
He's badly hurt, he can't go far.
Moon Immortal.
Where's Moon Immortal?
He has gone down to mortal world.
To the mortal world?
Long live the Great Elder!
A while back,
some changes had happened to the Demon Realm.
I'm sure you're all well aware.
Today...
the rebellion is overturned, the traitor has retreated.
However, the throne of Demon Lord is left vacant.
I call forth all of you here today to elect a new Demon Lord.
I'd like to nominate King of Biancheng as new Demon Lord.
What is your opinion?
King of Biancheng seems good.
King of Biancheng handles big duties well.
Great Elder.
King of Yancheng has passed, King of Gucheng has fled.
I may be 1 of the 3 kings,
well suited to take the throne as Demon Lord.
But I am no longer young,
I'm afraid I may not have the strength for it.
I'd like to nominate someone to uphold this grand duty.
And who would that be?
The former Fire Immortal of Heaven Realm,
Xu Feng.
Fire Immortal is not our kindred.
How can he be the Demon Lord?
If the Great Elder gives his blood, wouldn't he be one of us?
I'd say yes.
We've tried many times to attack the River of Unmindfulness.
Each time we get wiped out by the Fire Immortal and his men.
If he becomes our lord,
he'll make Demon Realm stronger than ever.
If we do that, won't we have sinned the Heaven Realm?
Demon Realm keeps going through successive changes,
if Heaven Realm attacks now,
I fear we might not be able to stand it.
We have the blazing God of Wars, why fear?
Demon Realm and Heaven Realm never interfere with each other's affairs.
There's no such thing as sinning against them.
Fire Immortal, Xu Feng...
has helped us many times to keep peace here,
Demon Realm is indebted to him.
He has also saved my life, I am indebted to him.
Fire Immortal, Xu Feng is fit to take the throne of Demon Lord.
Fire Immortal Xu Feng!
King of Qingcheng.
Fire Immortal Xu Feng.
Are you willing to become a man of the demon tribe,
take the throne as Demon Lord?
Wait!
Please don't agree!
There will be no turning back!
Xu Feng!
I'd like to be part of demon tribe.
From now on, I shall do my best for the people of Demon Realm...
until the day I die.
I hereby grant the blood of demon.
Xu Feng!
You've got to think this through!
You're the descendant of the Heaven!
Are you really going to abandon your bloodline of Heaven?
Have you made up your mind?
Have you ever opened your eyes...
and have a closer look at the Heaven Realm?
Have you ever thought...
why the late Water Immortal betrothed Jin Mi to me instead of you?
How did I, a rebel and traitor successfully topple the throne...
and easily come to the throne in just one attempt?
Why did no one stop your mother from jumping off the Lin Yuan Terrace?
It's not because I'm good at manipulating or being self-contained.
It was because of them!
They went against the tide...
and caused themselves to be disowned by everyone.
Xu Feng!
From this day on,
Xu Feng will be a part Demon Realm.
Heaven Realm and I, let us be ashes to ashes,
dust to dust,
no longer related.
I hereby grant the Demon Dagger.
Demon Lord, please rise.
Xu Feng...
All hail Demon Realm, long live The Lord.
- Xu Feng! - Let's go!
Xu Feng!
Your Majesty.
Is it news from Demon Realm?
Lord Fire Immortal has become the Demon Lord.
I know.
Fire Immortal's act of provocation...
is a declaration of war to the Heaven.
This Xu Feng now...
is no longer the old Xu Feng.
Your Majesty, you mean...
You may leave now.
Xu Feng.
Demon Lord.
No way...
How could he be?
All of you forced him to!
All of you!
Because of all of you!
You pushed my Xu Feng to Demon Realm.
All because of you!
My Xu Feng...
Demon Realm is finally back on tracks.
Liao Yuan must be pleased...
to see Xu Feng accept the blood granted by Great Elder from up above.
Good fortune comes to those who do good.
Liao Yuan has always been done good.
Even the Great Elder of Demon Realm is forever grateful to him.
Yet he died under the sword of his own men in Heaven Realm.
That's very unfair.
Demon Lord can't let go.
Though he doesn't say it,
but he has never found someone new to replace Liao Yuan.
He must be reminiscing and thinking about Liao Yuan.
This pair of master and servant has always been good together.
It's hard to come by.
Since Fire Immortal has become Demon Lord,
he has been killing masses,
conquering every corner of Demon Realm.
He even took in all of King of Gucheng's army.
The King of Gucheng now is a real pity.
Hiding and running everyday.
Fire Immortal is dominating Demon Realm.
Rumour has it, he's the strongest Demon Lord of all time.
He's highly worshiped.
The picture album illustrated by the Demon Realm painter is a great hit.
I used a year's worth of magical prowess...
to get this from a little fairy.
I also heard...
because of that indignant face of his,
all sorts of witches in the Demon Realm...
are cracking their heads to get in Yu Jiang Palace to attend to him.
It sure is nice for him,
he welcomes all who comes to him into his palace.
Hey beauty,
I think, you shouldn't waste your heart on players like him.
Why don't you just dive into my loving arms?
I can't believe...
he actually became the Demon Lord.
It's all because of me.
It's all because of me that he ended up in Demon Realm.
Don't blame yourself.
Though the Demon Realm is not as stunning as the Flora Realm...
or as dreamy as the Heaven Realm,
it is still a place of belonging.
Also, I just told you.
He's now high and mighty in the Demon Realm.
Above and beyond the law. Highly prestigious.
You need not worry for him anymore.
Forget it then.
So long as he is well and good.
There I'll wait for us to watch the setting sun.
In the love letter, I found the place where we love in every life.
There I'll sing in the moonlight.
What's that?
It's nothing.
The painting style of Demon Realm is really strange.
What is the matter?
Do you like to read this kind of things?
When will you let me go?
After your wound has healed, I'll let you go.
My wound has healed now.
You can't wait to see him so much, can you?
But have you ever thought that...
he might not want to see you at all?
I know.
I just...
I just want to see him from afar.
Xu Feng.
What happened to you, Xu Feng?
Drinking is bad for health.
Xu Feng.
- Xu Feng. - I don't care.
- Mind your own business. - Xu Feng.
Xu Feng.
Xu Feng!
How did you get these scars?
I was betrayed by Sparrow Fairy.
And because I poured all my prowess into your physical soul,
so I was hurt by Yin Que and expelled from bird tribe,
and left these scars inadvertently.
Just a bird tribe.
I'll help you to get it back.
Really?
Don't ever think that bird tribe will pledge allegiance to you.
If you kill me,
you are confronting Heavenly Emperor openly.
You won't dare to do that.
- Demon Lord. - Demon Lord.
From today onward,
Sui He will be the leader of bird tribe.
- Yes. - Yes.
Kneel down.
Princess, please spare my life.
The thing I hate the most in my life is betrayal.
I trusted you so much,
but you colluded with others behind my back and framed me.
Now you're still begging me for mercy?
That was my fault.
It was an equivocation.
Please show your mercy, my princess.
It’s too late to say anything now.
Drag her into the prison.
The way you treated a traitor is too kind.
Well, after 3 days,
she will be executed in public.
This will be an announcement for the entire bird tribe...
about the fate of a traitor.
Take her away.
- Yes. - Princess!
Princess!
My Lord.
Thanks for helping me to reseize the entire bird tribe.
Now,
Sui He is punishing those traitors in Fei Luan Palace.
Yin Que was executed in public by Xu Feng.
His men were all thrown into the prison.
The bird tribe has now officially declared to join into the Demon Realm.
Your Majesty.
Report to Your Majesty.
King of Gucheng from the Demon Realm is asking for a meeting.
Your Majesty.
You are brave enough to come here alone.
Why would you come here?
The reason I came here today is to ask Your Majesty...
to help me to seize back the position of Demon Lord.
I know you are in trouble now.
But why would you become so forgetful?
You were planning to attack Heaven Realm not long ago.
Well, now you're asking Heaven Realm...
to help you to seize back the position of Demon Lord?
That was then, this is now.
I heard that the bird tribe has now officially declared...
to join the Demon Realm.
I'm sure the new Demon Lord...
is causing so much trouble for Your Majesty too.
You don't have to worry about my business.
After all, the new Demon Lord was the God of Wars in the past.
We can't underestimate his strength.
These days,
he is raising an army,
enlarging the armed forces of Demon Realm.
His wild ambition has been thoroughly exposed.
If...
he wants to declare war on Heaven Realm,
can Your Majesty have the victory within your grasp?
If Your Majesty helps me to seize back the position of Demon Lord,
I'm willing to surrender to Your Majesty.
And the Demon Realm will also obey Heaven Realm in the future.
As far as I know, you're wanted by Demon Realm.
You're like a homeless dog.
Even if I want to get rid of the Demon Lord,
I can offer the position to others.
What value do you have to make a deal with me?
What if I find the Immortality Destructing Arrow,
kill Xu Feng,
and get rid of the future troubles for you?
I couldn't find you everywhere.
It turns out that you are hiding here.
You supposed to match-make.
Why would you drink alone here?
I saw through the vanity of life.
I have nothing left to live for.
Why are you here?
Now, your elder foster brother...
is enjoying so much power and prestige.
Why don’t you put yourself under the patronage of a higher-up?
Well, your second nephew has a higher prestige.
He has become Demon Lord.
Why don't you go and stick to him?
If you're talking about Run Yu,
I'll say, I didn't have any hope for him.
But I never thought Xu Feng will be much worse than him...
and become the Demon Lord.
I feel so disappointed for them.
These two kids...
are going to torture me till I die.
I have nothing left to live for.
I have nothing left to live for!
He's not the only one who let you down.
Jin Mi has been locked up,
you are the only one who can break down Run Yu's barrier.
Damn grape.
She's helping Run Yu to go against Xu Feng again.
She deserves it.
She deserves it even if...
she has to be punished by Heavenly Thunder and Earthly Fire.
When did she help Run Yu?
If she didn't help Xu Feng to run away,
why would Run Yu lock her up?
I don't want to listen to you.
You don't have to find some reasons to exculpate her.
Okay. I get it.
She deserves it.
Well, can you punish her yourself?
Let's go.
Don't drag me.
She harmed Xu Feng. I don't want to help her.
Fine.
Then, please be our matchmaker.
Tie a red line between she and I. Let her bring me some troubles.
She will never bother your second nephew anymore.
Stop daydreaming!
Let's go.
Let's go. Stop drinking.
You're so heavy.
My body has recovered.
Maybe I can break this barrier down.
Fox Fairy. Pu Chi.
Why would you guys come here?
Why would I come?
Beauty, you're breaking my heart.
I came here to save you as a hero.
Today we have to thank Fox Fairy for opening this exit for us.
Fox Fairy.
Thanks.
I did this for him, not for you.
Since you're out now, then I better leave now.
Wait a second.
Why have you been so shy since you are older?
Don't be shy.
Beauty and I share everything between us.
Okay. Since you've come out and Fox Fairy is here too,
you should voice out your wishes.
For example, running away with me.
You...
I...
I want to go to the Demon Realm.
I want to see him.
Well, you still have your conscience.
Thank you, Moon Immortal.
You saved me from troubles for several times.
I...
really appreciate your help.
Phoenix.
Who served these grapes?
Don't you know this is his most hated fruit?
Please spare my life, My Lord. Please spare my life.
Please show me some mercy, My Lord.
Phoenix.
You really hate me.
Please spare my life, My Lord.
Never wished to get into dispute...
He woke up.
But he's not the same Phoenix anymore.
Should I stop...
meeting him anymore?
I'd have another drink with you and talk until I'm drunk with you.
Never wished to get into dispute...
Give me one more chance.
If you bloom,
I'll go and find him.
If you don't bloom at all,
I'll never see him again...
in my entire life.
