"Ashes of Love"
"Episode 46"
Demon Lord, she is here.
Come in.
My oh my, it's Princess Sui He.
I have never thought that...
the princess would come to Demon Realm.
Many spies are around.
Hence, I have no other choice.
It's very condescending of you to see me here,
I am very grateful for it.
Not at all. Have a seat.
I come here today to ask for your help.
Ask for my help?
What is it?
I wish to reconquer bird tribe with the Demon Lord's influence.
Help you to reconquer bird tribe?
How would that benefit me?
If you help me to reconquer bird tribe,
bird tribe will pledge allegiance to you unto death.
What do you think, Demon Lord?
So, you want me to be hostile to Heaven Realm?
I think, with your ambition,
you'd want more than just the Demon Realm.
You are very smart.
However, you should know that...
Demon Realm has great army forces now.
A trivial bird tribe means nothing to me.
No matter what you want, I will do the best if it's within my reach.
I wish to dominate the world...
and be drunk on the lap of a beauty.
Don't you know what I'm interested in?
After you help me to get back the bird tribe,
you can choose the ladies of bird tribe as you please.
There are thousands of ladies in bird tribe,
but no one can compare to you.
I'm afraid that I have to let you down, King of Gucheng.
I'm afraid that I have to let you down too, princess.
I thought you have no fear of Heaven Realm.
You are nothing more than this after all.
Offending the Heavenly Emperor for the trivial bird tribe...
is definitely a lost deal.
Princess.
If you aren't willing to pay this little price,
then don't blame me for being heartless.
I will not disturb you then.
Demon Lord, what shall we do next?
Let her be.
She is relentless.
After I rule the six realms,
I will definitely get you.
Everything has changed in bird tribe.
I can't collude with Demon Realm.
There is no place for me in this world.
Please have a look.
Ancestral pearl of mermaid tears.
It can be passed down to the next generation.
Please have a look.
Let's go.
Come on.
You mustn't miss this.
Come and have a look.
This sceptre is not an ordinary magic wand.
It's infused with the primordial spirit of God of Wars,
it's extremely powerful.
God of Wars? Which God of Wars?
He was the Fire Immortal...
from Heaven Realm who had vanished into ashes half a year ago.
It was the Fire Immortal who guarded River of Unmindfulness...
and deterred Demon Lord over thousands of years.
I heard that he even defeated the powerful Princess of Biancheng.
This is the only magic wand in this world.
The one and only.
Why would Xu Feng's spirit be here?
It must be fake. Let's go.
He doesn't believe it!
Amazing, amazing!
It's forged from Fire Immortal's spirit of Heaven Realm.
It's extremely powerful. You may bid now.
The highest bidder wins.
- I bid a year of magical prowess. - I bid 3 years.
Three years. Anyone else?
- Five years. - Five years. Anyone else?
- I bid 10 years. - Ten years. Anyone else?
- Twenty years. - Twenty years. Anyone else?
You should have asked me first if you want to swindle...
in the name of Fire Immortal.
What for?
Why must you cause chaos whenever you go out?
What do you mean by causing chaos?
Xu Feng has died for no reason.
I certainly don't allow others to be disrespectful to him.
I fought with Xu Feng for a few times.
I know his magical prowess very well.
Recently I can feel that a familiar vibe is wandering around here.
But it is definitely not there.
That's for sure. It's all deception out there.
However, it's different nowadays.
The whole Demon Realm belongs to King of Gucheng.
We better be cautious when we go out.
King of Gucheng is long been known to come after me,
but I'm still living well.
Why should we be afraid of him?
There is a blood feud between you and him.
It's easy for you to say that.
Extermination of my tribe is a deadly feud.
I hate him to the core compare to any one of you.
However, the situation is unstable now.
A little neglect may breed mischief.
If we make any more troubles,
it'll be more difficult for your father and King of Qincheng.
Stop preaching to me.
Xu Feng suffered from wrongful death. I feel bad about it.
Princess Liu Ying, Demon Lord has summoned you.
Don't go.
I'll be right back. I think he won't act recklessly.
I can tell with a glance if it's a conspiracy or an overt act.
Among my peers,
King of Qincheng is old and has no intention to counsel.
King of Yancheng hankered for women and wines,
he was ambitious but had no talent.
Both of his sons are good-for-nothings.
Though I'm good at military skills...
and ambitious,
unfortunately, I have no heir.
It might sound inappropriate,
your father is timid and overcautious, he's just an ordinary man.
In my opinion, among the next generation,
only you, Liu Ying would be the most promising.
Since Demon Lord has summoned me,
I'm afraid it's not just about treating me to a meal...
or talking about family matters.
Previously, when King of Yancheng was in power,
he intended to check-and-balance all the parties.
Therefore, it was inevitable for me to have...
some arguments with Kingdom of Biancheng.
Things have changed.
I'm the ruler. I'll certainly treat my people as my own children.
I have no offspring, but I have watched you grow.
I like you from the bottom of my heart.
How about this?
After drinking this wine today,
we will let the past grudges pass.
Thank you for your kindness. I'm flattered.
My niece.
You will inherit your father's throne sooner or later.
It's just that...
you've been close to those fairies from Heaven Realm...
since you were young.
Moreover, you are always competitive.
You are so unruly,
how can you rule the demon tribe in the future?
Previously, I gave the command to kill you.
But how could I kill you?
I just wanted to hone your mind and determination.
I should thank you for sparing my life.
You are still young.
You will appreciate my painstaking effort in the future.
Your father taught you so well,
but he never taught you...
about the world's affairs and humanity.
There are 2 biggest plagues in Demon Realm.
First, it's the Heaven Realm.
Tens of thousands of years ago,
Demon Realm rivaled against Heaven Realm,
we governed our own districts.
Now,
the hypocritical immortals are trampling on us.
Do you know what the reason is?
What's the reason?
This is the second plague.
Internal conflict.
Those castellans of Demon Realm fought furiously for the territories,
our constitution is greatly undermined.
Heaven Realm can't wait to get the benefits from it every day.
You're right.
Heaven Realm was in chaos half a year ago and remains unrecoverable so far.
When the new fledgling Heavenly Emperor is still bogged down,
I want to invade Heaven Realm.
I want to launch an attack when he is unaware.
After much thought and consideration,
you are the most suitable vanguard.
As expected, there's no such thing as a free lunch.
I'm not the only one at fault...
when Immortality Destructing Tribe was exterminated.
Back then, the mastermind behind it was actually...
late Heavenly Emperor, Tai Wei.
Why have I never heard of it?
What is this?
This is the oath of allegiance between me and the late Heavenly Emperor.
His Supreme Immortal Blood is there too.
I'm ashamed to tell you, but...
I was deluded by the Late Heavenly Emperor, Tai Wei...
and became his pawn.
Immortality Destructing Arrow has the power to kill immortals.
Demons like us have no fear of death.
Only those immortals...
will feel threatened by Immortality Destructing Tribe...
and couldn't wait to kill them off.
Hence,
the actual mastermind who exterminated Immortality Destructing Tribe...
was late Heavenly Emperor, Tai Wei.
This suppression is also a revenge for Immortality Destructing Tribe.
I know.
Qi Yuan is the last descendant of Immortality Destructing Tribe.
After I conquer Heaven Realm,
I'll officiate a wedding ceremony for you and Qi Yuan.
Do you believe what he said?
His intention is not that easy.
He just wants you to work yourself to death for him.
But, it's related to Immortality Destructing Tribe.
What should we do?
Every injustice has its perpetrator.
King of Gucheng was involved in the tribe's extermination back then,
he can't be exempted from the responsibility.
He will pay his debt sooner or later.
Since Xu Feng passed away,
I no longer believe in the supreme immortals from Heaven Realm.
What is good and what is evil?
Righteous people exists in Demon Realm.
There are villains in Heaven Realm too.
I think there is no border between good and evil.
The scariest thing is good will never triumph over evil.
Promise me. Don't get involved in these disputes anymore.
Let's find a beautiful place...
and spend the few remaining years peacefully.
All right?
This is what I used to tell you in the past.
Our roles have reversed now.
That's right.
After all,
I don't have much time left.
Hence, compare to revenge,
I would rather spend the remaining years...
to live a serene and peaceful life with you.
You always say that...
if two people who love each other can be together all the time,
they will be contented even if they're just mayflies...
with a short lifespan.
Isn't it?
Your Majesty! Your Majesty!
Your Majesty!
Save him.
Your Majesty! Your Majesty!
Xu Feng, even if I have to travel across the six realms,
I will definitely find a way to save you.
Who are you?
You are not allowed to come in here.
Princess.
I couldn't stop them from barging in.
Yin Que, you are the leader of the tribe now,
but you've barged in my Fei Luan Palace.
You've gone too far.
It's me.
Your Majesty.
Do you still recognise me as the Heavenly Emperor?
Your Majesty owns the authority now. Whether I recognise it or not,
it doesn't make any difference.
Your behaviour is still the same.
You have never failed to keep up with us.
It's all right.
If you curry favour with me,
I may not get used to it.
I am flattered, Your Majesty.
I wonder what made you come here today.
We are here to check if you are being duplicitous...
and trying to rebel.
Someone has falsely accused me and deceives Heavenly Emperor.
We will know it's either right or wrong after the investigation.
Your Majesty, it's right here.
Your Majesty.
I thought you were just arrogant and willful...
and don't deserve to be the leader of the tribe.
But now,
you're harbouring the felony offender and intending to rebel.
The bird tribe can't tolerate you anymore.
Your Majesty. Your Majesty, please listen to me.
No.
No!
It's fake.
Where is Xu Feng?
The second prince had vanished into ashes that day.
Everyone witnessed it.
I've failed to bring him back to life even though I intended to do so.
Thus, I transformed a bird into the second prince to express my grief.
If Your Majesty can't even tolerate the illusion,
why don't you just destroy my spirit?
But if this matter spreads out,
I wonder which one of us will be humiliated.
It's a thought that shouldn't even exist.
It's better if you give up sooner.
Let's go.
Limbo Palm of Water Spell.
As expected, you are the hypocrite.
Princess, what are you talking about?
I don't understand.
How dare you make excuses.
I used to suspect that you leaked my plans over and over again.
You're the only one who knows I am harbouring Xu Feng,
but you don't know that it's fake.
Sparrow Fairy, I've been treating you well.
Why did you betray me again and again?
Every time when I serve you,
whenever some small matters don't go as you wish,
you would give me a hard time.
You are very arrogant.
But you don't know that you have been deserted.
There's only one ending for those who betrayed me.
Before I came here with you,
I've reported to the leader.
If I never return,
don't ever think of taking a step out of Yi Miao Continent.
Don't lie to me.
She is not lying.
Come, arrest her!
Yin Que, I'll remember what has happened today.
I'll get even with you.
"Yu Cave"
Luckily I was well-prepared,
that's why Run Yu didn't make it.
Though Yu Cave is eerie,
it is currently the safest place in the six realms.
Xu Feng, I'll find a way to get you the Nine Spins Reviving Elixir.
Once you regain consciousness,
I will help you to get back to the top...
and rule the six realms.
Your Majesty.
King of Biancheng.
Please.
We had a brief meeting last time.
I wonder if you have any answer regarding our last discussion?
King of Gucheng has just become the Demon Lord.
The current situation is uncertain.
Regarding forming an alliance,
I hope Your Majesty could give me more time to think about it.
Indecisiveness leads to disaster.
Don't you know what kind of person King of Gucheng is?
One mountain cannot contain 2 tigers.
He has wild ambition and is aiming for Heaven Realm.
In order to ensure the stability of his throne now,
he shows his kindness to you...
by pretending to give preferential treatment.
However, it doesn't mean that he will not harm you in the future.
If you are deceived by his kindness,
we will get into endless troubles after he becomes the ruler.
It makes sense, Your Majesty.
However, your additional requirement, which is asking me to search for...
Fire Immortal's spirit in Demon Realm and hand it to you...
is imposing difficult task on me.
Fire Immortal Xu Feng had been kind to me and my daughter.
I shouldn't return his kindness with ingratitude.
Xu Feng were kind to you?
In that case, if you know Xu Feng's whereabouts,
you will definitely help him.
Your Majesty.
The deceased is already gone.
I don't think Xu Feng's spirit still exists in the world,
not to mention the Demon Realm.
You are right. The deceased is already gone.
Xu Feng had already vanished into ashes.
I'm just asking for just the friendship with you.
I don't want any hidden trouble in our alliance.
This includes Xu Feng.
I already knew that Xu Feng and you were on good terms.
Liu Ying and Xu Feng were sworn siblings.
She is considered to be my sister too.
I don't have the nerve to be your sister.
Fire Immortal and Your Majesty...
seem to define brotherhood differently.
I, Liu Ying only sworn eternal friendship with Fire Immortal.
Your Majesty is honourable,
that idea frightens me.
My proposal is for the future of both Heaven and Demon Realms.
I hope Princess of Biancheng could leave your prejudice behind...
work on it with all your efforts.
I'm not sure if all your big pictures and plans...
are conspiracies or overt acts.
I only know that...
when my father was framed and imprisoned by King of Gucheng,
every immortal of Heaven Realm remained indifferent,
except for Xu Feng.
He was grounded by late Heavenly Emperor,
yet he managed to find a way to help us.
I will remember it as long as I live.
I have sworn by the River of Unmindfulness that...
I will never betray him for the rest of my life.
But Your Majesty wants us to go to River of Unmindfulness...
look for Xu Feng's spirit and hand it to you.
That's making us the heartless men.
I admire you for being righteous.
However, I wonder if we could trade your righteousness...
for King of Gucheng's righteousness.
It seems that...
it's full of shameless rogues in Heaven Realm now.
Killing father and brother to seize the throne seems to be pretty common.
How dare you!
Liu Ying.
You have no right to speak here. Get out.
Po Jun Star Guardian.
If I'm not mistaken,
you are the trusted general...
who was discovered and promoted by Xu Feng.
Now that Xu Feng has passed away, now you're serving another master.
Congratulations for being promoted all the way up.
Princesses in Demon tribe has been upright.
I feel ashamed to associate with these hypocrites.
Shut up!
So,
does this mean that you will decline my proposal?
Please cease from anger, Your Majesty.
Liu Ying has no right to make decisions for Kingdom of Biancheng.
I don't mind to form an alliance. I only ask for justice.
Your Majesty wants us to go to River of Unmindfulness...
to search Xu Feng's spirit and hand it to you.
Should you promise us something too?
What do you want? Just speak your mind.
Xu Feng was brutally killed. I have yet to avenge his death.
Every injustice has its perpetrator.
I hope Your Majesty would hand over the culprit who murdered Xu Feng.
You are indeed the confidante of Xu Feng.
Living or dead, you still defend him.
Xu Feng lived a worthwhile life.
However,
Heavenly Empress-to-be from Heaven Realm...
eliminated the rebellious offender.
She has made a great contribution to Heaven Realm.
Thus, she is not guilty.
As a princess of Demon Realm, you shouldn't be bothered.
King of Biancheng.
It seems that...
Princess Liu Ying is confident enough to confront King of Gucheng.
I look forward to seeing it.
Let's go.
Rebellious offender? Who's actually the rebellious one?
We're very clear about it!
Demon Lord.
I am willing to be the vanguard to cross the River of Unmindfulness...
and help Demon Lord to conquer Heaven Realm.
Great.
When the flowers bloom, I draw flowers.
When the flowers wither, I draw my own portrait.
When you are here, I draw your portrait.
When you're gone, I draw from my memory.
So, what can we do?
As the moonlight has linked our feelings.
Write a love letter...
Phoenix Flower only blooms for 2 seasons.
It blooms when the destiny comes,
it withers when the destiny ends.
The destiny is doomed to end,
while the flowers are doomed to return to soil.
In the love letter, I found the place where we meet in every life.
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...
Old man.
Miss, you are here again.
You walk so quickly and seem to be fine now.
Miss, why don't you let it go...
and treasure the one who's with you right now?
It might sound ridiculous,
but sometimes, the person right in front of us...
might not be the one we love.
After I killed him with my own hands, I only realised that...
he is the person that I have always loved.
Since you're so persistent,
I will be frank.
Phoenix is an immortal bird.
He is born with 7 spiritual and 8 physical souls.
The extra physical soul is used for Nirvana.
If you can find his remaining physical soul...
and use Supreme Lord Lao's Nine Spins Reviving Elixir,
he might have a chance to revive.
Is that true?
However, the elixir can only be produced every 10,000 years.
I'm afraid this matter will not go smoothly.
It doesn't matter.
As long as there is a hope, I will never give up.
I shall leave now.
Please take care of yourself, old man.
"Dou Shuai Palace"
Water Immortal, you've come all the way here,
is there anything that I can help?
I heard that the elixirs refined by Supreme Lord Lao...
are treasures in Heaven Realm.
It turns rotten skin into fresh skin,
it can also gather up the physical souls.
Also, I heard that Supreme Lord Lao...
has refined 3 Nine Spins Reviving Elixirs.
They can be used to revive an immortal's soul and extend one's life.
This elixir is not as miraculous as you said.
It's just a rumour and overstatement of the people.
You should know that an immortal has 7 spiritual and physical souls.
It makes 49 Heavenly Circuits in total.
If he has one spiritual soul and one physical soul left...
or his physical body is still here,
then it will only bring certain effects after taking my elixir.
Are you asking for this elixir to revive the late Water Immortal?
To be honest,
late Water Immortal's spirits and physical body have perished.
It is beyond resurrection even if you use my elixir pill.
My father passed away a long time ago.
I never expect him to come back to life.
Actually, I'm using it for another purpose.
I hope you can give the elixir pill to me.
I will not hesitate to go through the fire...
if you need my help in the future.
Water Immortal, I'm afraid you will not be able to fulfill your wish.
I've been refining the Nine Spins Reviving Elixir for over 20,000 years.
But I'm still short of a guiding medicine now.
I'm afraid I will never get it.
Lord Lao, which medicine is it?
It is Light of Xuan Qiong of the Supreme Immortal, Lian Chao.
Then, I will look for it.
Lian Chao has already perished.
The Light of Xuan Qiong no longer exists in this world.
Your Majesty.
It survives as expected.
That's right.
When Your Majesty went to Demon Realm to capture Qiong Qi,
the late Heavenly Emperor did not sentence this beast to perishment,
but he ordered me to go to Supreme Clarity Heaven in secret...
to put 12 seals on it.
I hope Your Majesty could guide me...
on what to do to this beast.
Put it in Sheng Jing Court first.
Yes.
Mi Er.
You are back.
It's late now,
shouldn't you be resting now?
How could I sleep well when you have not returned yet?
I've told you,
you can just call me Fish Fairy as usual.
That name was only a joke when I was young and naive.
You are the Heavenly Emperor now.
It seems inappropriate to call you that name.
I heard that you've gone to Dou Shuai Palace today...
to ask for an elixir from the Supreme Lord Lao.
That's right. I was just loitering around.
Why did you ask for Nine Spins Reviving Elixir?
My life is full of calamities.
Hence, I wanted to get an elixir to protect myself,
in case of an emergency.
It is not a big deal.
You can tell me if you need anything.
All right. I know.
It's late now. You should rest earlier.
I thought I could save Xu Feng.
I never thought that even the God refused to give me the opportunity.
- Are you crying? - No, I'm not.
You are crying. She cries.
Look, look at her. She's crying.
What's going on with you?
- What happened to her? - Why are you so surprised?
You grow old but you never grow wiser.
Well,
it's just a few teardrops of the most ungrateful person in the world.
What's so special about it?
Fox Fairy.
Phoenix is still alive.
