Guardians of the Ancient Oath
[This story is purely fictional.]
Episode 40
Hongxuan, I...
You got hurt.
Have some rest.
Don’t care about other things now.
Brother,
is Jinyang all right?
Let’s talk outside.
Her injury is not serious.
Hongyi suppressed her last night.
She is…
She is Purple Bird.
You knew it?
Jinyang is kind-hearted.
She never did harm to anyone.
Even if she is different,
she is our family.
Jinyang is a demon,
but she has
the same feeling
and emotion as we have.
She was born to be a demon.
Just like we were born to be human.
We can’t decide that.
But her love to me
is true.
I don’t care how you think of her.
But remember,
she is always your sister-in-law.
Everything
she did
for me and our family
can’t be denied only for
her identity.
So that's what you think.
What are you worried about?
We are gifted.
If we hunt down
and kill the demons indiscriminately
like An Tingfeng,
then what’s the point of demon hunting?
Maybe just like humans,
there are also good demons.
That’s the best that
you can think so.
Then what should we do now?
Looks like
we should go to Shuchi now.
What about Hongyi?
Go ask An Tingfeng.
Resist of being seen or heard,
but be blessed with the light.
Ling Jun, where are you?
An Tingfeng,
why was Hongyi in the illusion?
Why does she
have the same flowers as we have?
Everything in the world
comes from the five elements.
They are
water, fire,
wood,
gold and earth.
Water goes down and fire goes up.
Wood can be bent or straight, gold can reform.
Earth can adjust the others in the center.
And there have been five gods from ancient times.
God Water Xuanming, God fire Zhu Rong.
God Wood Goumang, God Gold Rushou,
and God Earth Houtu.
It turns out
that it’s Baili Hongyi.
But the spirit of demon in her
is different from normal demons.
If she is God Earth,
why was she controlled by demon?
Maybe it’s not like that,
but
she sealed a demon in her body.
Can we unlock it?
It’s said that the five gods
sealed the Nine-head up.
Maybe it’s because
of Nine-head that
we are gathered here.
I’m afraid the demon in her
is Nine-head.
Since all of this
is destined,
I don’t mind to work with you.
We have no choice.
So please
put the grudges aside.
To fight against Nine-head,
every one of us is indispensable.
Seems that I can only
accept it now.
OK.
Let go of the past
and wait until it’s over.
Until it’s over.
Marquis Baili,
how is the princess now?
She is having rest in room.
Looks like
you already knew her identity.
An Tingfeng,
you’d never hurt my family.
Family?
Since she is your beloved person…
No,
your beloved demon.
I won’t do anything to her.
However,
you are the Chosen One.
Demons have to be executed.
I wonder what you
will do then.
Ruo, you are awake.
I killed Yi Jiumo?
What do you remember?
I killed Yi Jiumo
in the desert.
He committed suicide.
It was not you.
No.
It was me.
And I even wanted to kill you, right?
Ruo,
it has passed.
Let’s forget it.
And Youwu.
I killed them as well.
I killed them.
I remember it.
But Youwu…
Weren’t they immortal?
How could it be?
I don’t feel like myself now.
Who am I?
You are Li Ruo.
The Princess of Lang.
And my beloved sister.
I’m Li Ruo?
Yes.
Now I don’t know
what happened.
But trust me.
I will make everything
turn back to normal.
Let me handle all this.
I’m here with you.
See this?
You don’t have this before.
You are also
gifted with power, like me.
Your power
comes from an ancient god,
God Earth Houtu.
And mine
comes from God Wood Goumang.
Baili Hongxuan and Hongshuo,
they are the same.
So, don’t worry.
We will find out the truth.
Next,
we are going to different places
to find the truth.
I’m with you.
Ruo, don’t think too much.
Let’s go have a walk.
Chenfu, it’s been a while.
Listen,
I’ve repaid you
for your family
and Yo’s upbringing.
From now on,
I’ll cut all ties
with you.
Whatever you're going to do,
whether you choose to live or die
are none of my business.
Cheers.
General.
Bai Yi…
Hou Zhengze.
Guys.
We will set off tomorrow morning.
The place we are going to
is where Lang
settle the soul of deceased ones.
Chisong Ravine.
This place is about
sixty miles north of Shuchi.
We must first move
along the west side of the Shuchi grassland,
avoid the eyes and ears of the Lang people,
then turn back to the East,
and continue to move northward
from east side of Mount Langal.
Although the trip is tortuous,
we must bypass Shuchi to avoid
direct conflict with
the army of Lang.
This is Chisong Ravine.
Be careful.
Princess, what’s wrong?
I’m fine.
Let’s go.
General.
Hongshuo.
General.
Hongshuo.
General.
Hongshuo.
Ming Yefeng,
you are up to no good!
You set up a trap together with Lang.
This is the sacred place of Lang.
They are all souls of ancestors.
They won’t hurt anyone.
Then why did he attack me?
If I’m right,
we may have been exposed
on our way here.
We should be more careful then.
Ming Yefeng,
thank you for bringing them here.
Now I can
eliminate the Bailis
and revenge for my
dead clansmen.
If you believe him,
I have nothing to say then.
What he said doesn’t matter.
I only believe what I saw!
Kill them!
Brother,
they caught Hou Zhengze and Xiaotong.
Baili Hongxuan, stop!
Marquis, sorry, I’m late.
You came in right time.
Come with me.
Marquis,
he is here.
At your disposal.
Whoever stands in my way will be killed.
What are you doing?
Brother,
we are not here
for slaughter.
Are you protecting Lang?
No.
The purpose
of our trip is to
save more people.
Marquis, Young Master is right.
The great mission matters the most.
These Lang’s people
are no big deal.
Ming Yefeng,
they are up to you now.
Kill him,
and then you will get
rid of worries.
You can’t kill me at all.
Childish trick.
You can’t kill
anyone of us.
You saw that.
Let them go.
Let’s go.
Are you all right?
General, we are fine.
Gao Yi,
you are not stupid.
Don’t ruin the whole Lang
only for your grudge with me.
It’s not too late for you to withdraw.
Take your people leave now.
Gao Yi, listen,
move westward over Mount Langal.
Why should I listen
to a traitor of Lang?
Soon
there will be
a huge disaster.
You are unable to stop it.
We are both people of Lang.
I, Ming Yefeng,
am sorry for what I did.
But this time,
please
leave here for the safety
of Lang.
I beg you.
Conniving the enemy will lead to endless troubles.
This is our own business of Lang.
Greetings, Marquis.
Your power
has grown a lot these days.
Where is Jinyang?
She must be ahead.
That is…
Move!
Now!
They are coming to kill you.
Mom!
Why would they kill us?
Saintess of Lang must keep undefiled.
This is the ancient rule.
Pack up
and leave!
Mom, it’s beautiful.
She stands in front of me.
But I don’t recognize her.
Ming Yefeng,
is my mom mad
at me so she left?
Call her back!
I remember it!
I remember them all!
Call her back to see me again,
OK?
Call her back!
Ruo,
your mom won’t be mad at you.
You are her beloved daughter.
The evil will vanish between heaven and earth.
The mysterious way has been around for centuries.
Cast light between heaven and earth.
Since you are here,
why don’t you show up?
It’s been years.
Finally I see people alive.
What?
It’s not wise for you
to fight in my place.
I know what brings you here.
This is the only way to Mount Spirit.
I can let you pass.
But
you have to do me a favor.
What is that?
I want the Water Jade.
What Water Jade?
I think the destined one
will know it.
Go.
They have left.
Do you have anything else to say,
Lord God Gold?
When we dispel the demon in you,
I can see Princess Na Cheng again
when we come back here.
Ruo?
Ming Yefeng!
Ruo!
Ming Yefeng!
Ruo!
Hongyi?
Where are they?
They…
I don’t know.
Maybe somewhere nearby.
Let’s go find them.
Marquis, you have been trying for long.
Save it.
I have told you.
This is not a normal well.
You are fire, and I’m wood.
We are mutually restricted.
But we can also be mutually promoted.
Now there is only one way
for us to live.
Cooperation.
Cooperation?
You think I dare to cooperate with you again?
If you don’t,
then we can die here together.
Whatever.
I have already
died once thanks to you.
You are the Marquis of Yo.
Have I ever
forced you to commit treason?
I know you won’t admit.
It’s my fault to believe you.
I thought
you can become my ally.
But I didn’t expect that
you gave my messenger
to the despicable He Yao.
So the rumors
are real?
Marquis Baili, you
did write a letter to me to ask for help?
Baili Hongxuan,
you have only yourself
to blame for what you did.
You’re not wronged at all.
Isn’t it you?
Fine.
I’ll trust you this time.
Don’t try to lie to me.
There are all the same.
Follow me, don’t get lost.
Hou Zhengze,
you can always see something
that I can see.
Do you see anything?
Say something.
It’s all white here.
I can see nothing.
I think they must be fine.
Are you injured?
I’m not.
Let me see!
Don’t look at me.
Let me see you.
I told you not to look at me!
Xiao… Xiaotong.
I’m sorry.
Why do you apologize?
I’m a demon.
I must be a demon.
But I think I’m a human.
I don’t want to be a demon either.
Hou Zhengze, listen.
You know I’m timid.
I’m afraid of demon.
But you are different.
Even if you are demon,
you are
the kindest one.
But human and demon
can never become friends.
Why not?
Who said that?
You are who you are.
Whether you are Hou Zhengze
or anything else,
you are always my friend.
Hands off!
Master?
Lass, you are in love?
And you brat!
How dare you
covet her in my absence?
Master, why are you here?
I used my power
to predict that you would be here.
So I came to see you.
Have you practiced what I taught you?
Of course!
Master…
Don’t come closer.
Where have you been?
We have been looking for you.
Have you supervised Baili Hongshuo
to develop my magic?
Master, I forgot to tell you.
Hou Zhengze turned into…
I know.
But he taught everything
he learned to Baili Hongshuo.
Master, you know this?
Of course.
I can always see you through.
Master…
Then I…
Am I really…
What you are doesn’t matter.
What matters is your heart.
My heart?
Idiot.
Now I have no time
to explain to you.
The important thing now
is not to let others
see what you look like now.
Master, do you have any idea?
Purify the inside and outside.
Stand by to guard the core.
You are fine now!
Brat,
take good care of her.
If you break
her heart,
I will never let you go.
Understand?
Got it.
OK.
Take care of yourselves.
And tell Baili Hongshuo to practice.
Got it?
