Guardians of the Ancient Oath
[This story is purely fictional.]
Episode 39
He doesn’t
seem to be a good guy.
How about you go in and have a look?
Hongshuo.
Don’t.
An Tingfeng
must force the demon out of his body.
That’s good to him.
He may suffer,
but he can survive at least.
Be patient.
Come in.
-Hou Zhengze. -Hou Zhengze.
Hou Zhengze.
What did you do to him?
The demon in his body
is here.
If not me,
the demon could have still controlled him.
But he is dying.
Even if he dies,
it’s caused by this demon.
I wish
I could kill all the demons in the world,
and this wouldn’t have happened.
I am doing
what I should do.
Baili Hongshuo.
You should have done the same if you were me.
Take care of him.
General.
Rest assured.
I will
uphold the justice for you.
I'm not a monster.
I know.
Have a good rest.
Don’t move around.
Take care of him.
Don't cry.
I am not crying.
My eyes feel uncomfortable.
I... I heard from him
that I’m a demon host.
Xiaotong.
Do you despise me?
No, I don’t.
I don’t care
even if you’re a demon.
You’re my friend,
my best friend.
Xiaotong, thank you.
You fool.
But
how could he treat you like that?
He went too far.
I’m not a demon.
You are not.
Nor a host thing.
No, you are not.
Alright. Stop talking.
Take a rest first.
What are you going to do?
He hurt my friend.
He must explain it.
Calm down.
You shouldn’t blame An Tingfeng.
He was badly hurt.
Just let it go?
You’re blaming me for stopping you
to save Hou Zhengze?
Think about it.
An Tingfeng’s method was cruel,
but it’s the only way
to force the demon out of his body.
If that demon
stays in his body,
it has no good to him.
Hongshuo.
Although we’re gifted with psychic power,
we don’t have much experience
to deal with
the demons.
We have no idea
how to deal with
these things.
I know you’re worried about Hou.
But that was a demon.
We need An Tingfeng’s help.
We can’t handle it
without him.
We need a plan in the long run.
Wait and see.
Understand?
No need to look for me.
I’m here.
Good.
I want to show you something.
What is it?
The night view of Li City.
Li City is already empty.
What do you mean night view?
You’re smart, Marquis.
You find it out instantly.
What’s this?
Herb Xun.
Take it with you,
and demons won’t find you out.
What?
Will you go with us?
I know your capability
very well.
If you try to
kill me,
I won’t be able to stop you.
Marquis. Hongshuo.
I’ll take my leave.
Someone backs her up.
She’s so bold.
Let’s go.
The Demon of Metal at Fusong
has cultivated for nearly a millennium,
yet he just built
a formation as big as a temple.
This formation is so big.
Only a more powerful demon
can make it.
Let's split up.
We must find her.
And
they look like humans.
Actually, they’re demons.
Remember.
Take Herb Xun with you.
Be very careful
You are late.
Let’s go.
Brother.
What's wrong?
Which place is that?
That is
Tayun House!
The evilness there seems strong.
That powerful demon could be there.
Let’s go.
It seemed to be lively far away,
but it is so quiet here.
Be careful.
Who are you?
No hurry.
The night is long.
We have much time to talk about the old days.
The old days?
Do we know each other?
Of course we do.
We are old friends.
Sadly, I remember you
but you have forgotten me.
Zhu Rong.
Who are you on earth?
They all call me Witch Corpse.
Witch Corpse?
You were killed
by Shirizhi long ago, wasn’t you?
It was unfair.
I did my best to protect the mortal world,
but I got nothing in the end.
Did the humans
remember
what I did for them?
So you chose to be a demon?
It wasn’t chosen by me.
I was favored by Heaven.
Being a witch
made me so miserable.
So Heaven offered me another chance.
But this time
I happen to be a demon.
I was the most powerful demon
in the world back then.
Ten suns appeared in that year.
People were starving.
Dayi and I did our best
to protect all beings.
At last, I was killed by the sun.
Dayi pitied me and buried me.
But humans only remembered
Dayi’s bravery
and forgot me.
With this obsession,
I wandered in the mortal world.
One day a deity came to
the nearby altar.
I recovered my power again.
This time
I will not waste my life.
I will build
my own world.
Hadn’t you
initiated the power,
I wouldn’t have woken up
even if I had the chance.
Zhu Rong. Xuan Ming.
I really appreciate
what you did.
Why do you come to Li City?
Because it’s far away from the Central Plains
where I got killed.
I will establish
my kingdom here.
You know
why we come here.
Of course.
To get my power.
Since you already know,
I will say no more.
It depends on
your capability.
Be careful, brother.
Cut off her fingernails.
Baili Hongshuo. Don’t hurt her.
Ruo.
The one who wore the mask was her?
Why was she with
Witch Corpse?
Why did you come to Li City?
Ming Yefeng.
Would you explain it?
If I remember it right,
I saw
you were dead.
But you are still alive now.
Would you explain it?
No need to explain it to you.
Me neither.
I don’t have to
tell you about my affairs.
Wood power?
An Tingfeng.
It’s my personal affair with him.
Leave it alone.
Can’t you sense it?
He is the same as us.
You’re not able to kill him.
If you continue,
both of you will get hurt.
Let me see her.
Who are you?
I kill demons.
An Tingfeng. Don’t touch her.
Baili Hongshuo.
Do you know what you are doing?
I know what I am doing clearly.
I also know
what you will do.
I thought
we were in the same boat.
I didn’t expect
you would believe a demon.
Don’t touch her.
Then what about
the demon in her body?
Besides,
she has General Wanqi.
Who are you to her?
Let him do it.
He doesn’t dare to hurt Li Ruo.
If you hurt her,
I’ll stop you until I die.
Interesting.
What’s wrong?
This demon rests in the daytime
while acts at night.
It’s a handful for you.
Right?
How do you know?
Tell me.
Maybe I have another way.
After we left Ye City,
she suddenly
became like this one day.
She turns into a murderous demon
when night falls.
When she wakes up the next day,
she doesn't remember
what happened the night before at all.
I have no idea
what controls her,
but I know
the one appears at night
is not Li Ruo.
Since then
she has been slaughtering every night.
Many people of Youwu and Lang
were killed by her.
So I have to take her away
from Shuchi.
The one
who controls her at night
seems to
have clear goals.
To find out the truth and protect her,
I followed her all the way.
As you said,
it rests in the daytime while acts at night.
I followed her
and headed to
Li City every night
until we arrived at that demon city.
You beat me?
What's the matter, sir?
It’s a nice place.
We may stay here.
I want to play here some more days.
What?
Don’t you know me?
To figure out
her purpose here,
the best way
is to ask
Witch Corpse.
Baili Hongyi comes here.
It may be related with the demon town.
Do you mean
we can save Hongyi
by capturing Witch Corpse?
The demon in her body
is a handful.
An Tingfeng. Tell us
what to do.
I’ve said
we are kindred spirits.
There are
mysterious ties between us.
Whether you accept it or not,
it is
unchangeable.
Since
we’re bound to each other,
the fight between you
is meaningless.
Hongshuo. Let’s go.
Go.
Remember.
Do not let An Tingfeng
be with Hongyi alone.
Brother. Hongyi...
Hongshuo. Don’t be sentimental.
Brother. Hongyi is...
You should let it go.
She is no longer the lady of Marquis’s Mansion.
She has Ming Yefeng to protect her.
An Tingfeng is right.
We have demons to deal with.
We must join hands and cooperate.
Even though we cooperate,
he is not our friend.
He may become our enemy.
Understand?
You must be tired.
Go back to rest.
Hongshuo.
Hi.
You look unhappy.
I didn’t get a chance
to say thanks.
I heard that
you buried Mr. He.
You don’t have to
thank me for that.
I’m the mistress of Duke Pingyuan’s Mansion.
I failed to protect them.
It’s my fault.
Burying Mr. He
was what
I should do.
I know you're not happy,
but please allow me
to say this.
In the current situation,
we have no time
to feel sad.
Parting is fated.
The past is gone.
It won’t start over.
Let alone to change it.
Hongshuo. Accept it.
My brother also said this.
You value the affections.
That’s precious.
But considering the current situation,
we have to leave personal feelings aside.
What if
I don’t want to let it go?
Bury it in your heart.
You’ve been busy all night.
Go to rest.
I’m going to cook some dishes.
You may drink
with your brother.
Thank you.
Marquis. How is it going?
Rest assured.
You wait for me every day.
Your love to me is impressive.
I said
I would be with her all the time.
It will not change.
That’s touching.
How come
I am not moved?
You can let that demon hunter
kill me.
It will be over once for all.
It’ll be properly settled.
Properly settled?
You stay with her
and guard her all the time.
You will never
tell her
you love her, will you?
Pitiful.
It’s so boring.
Let’s go.
Since you’re here,
why not show up?
Jinyang.
I will recover what you took
from me now.
See you at Tayun House.
I’m going to call Hongshuo.
Even have no wine?
Farewell.
Are you leaving now?
The result is already known.
Why bother watching it?
Hou Zhengze.
We...
We can’t get over.
Come on. Hurry.
Xiaotong. Just follow me.
I... I am afraid.
I am here.
Believe me.
Will you help me?
They
are not here for me.
I won’t get involved.
It’s no good to you
if I die.
They’ll also kill you.
Really?
Let's wait and see.
Hold on.
There’s a barrier.
[Tayun House]
Witch Corpse is an ancient witch,
adept at barriers.
You’re not able to get in like this.
Do you have any idea?
Join hands to break the barrier.
What?
You want to
waste more time here?
Come on. We don't have much time.
[Tayun House]
You seem to
have some helpers.
Witch Corpse.
You harmed people of Li City.
You will die today.
Stop boasting around.
You are trying to
kill me and
get my power.
It seems you have put aside your grudges
and join hands to fight against me.
I still don’t think you can win.
You are nagging.
A demon even helps demon hunter.
You were
my favorite Purple Bird ever.
That was
the forbidden area of Lang, Chisong Ravine.
What’s going on here?
Here are so many demons.
Watch out.
Be careful.
Run!
Xiaotong. Are you alright?
I'm fine.
What’s wrong?
What did you see?
This demon town is about to disappear.
Only Tayun House is still there,
and glimmers.
They must be in there.
