Episode 8 The Truth

So...

So people in Qiongqi Road,

thousands of cultivators in Nevernight,

Jin Zixuan

and...

Yanli all died...

It's not because you lost control,

but because

someone set a trap for you.

Who's there?

Clan leaders,

we've found our clan leader.

Clan leader Nie,

have you been following us

all the way from Traverse Hill?

No, it really wasn't me.

Hangunag Jun,

when I arrived at Traverse Hill,

a dog attacked me.

So I didn't go anywhere else.

It's been hours.

Can you let me go?

That's my fan!

I thought I'd lose it forever.

Thank you, Hangunag Jun.

Where did you find it?

Outside of the castle.

I...

I just followed you and him there.

I don't know anything else.

You said you didn't know anything,

then just listen to me,

and see if you know about

anything I say.

I heard that anyone

who goes into the man-eating castle

will be eaten alive.

If no one has survived,

how could we know they were eaten?

Obviously,

someone made up the story.

The formation on Traverse Hill is very sophisticated.

Without a spiritual beast that is good at following scents,

or the strength that Hanguang Jun has,

you'd get to nowhere.

The castle has no door and no window,

and it has a barrier.

Without great magical weapons,

it would be difficult to get in.

The man-eating story, the formation and the barrier,

those are three methods in place

to keep people away from Traverse Hill,

to protect the castle's secret.

Inside the castle of the Nie Clan of Qinghe,

countless blades and corpses are buried.

Clan leader Nie,

if you don't clarify things here today,

if any information leaks out later on,

and you want to explain at that time,

no one will be interested.

Hanguang Jun,

Childe,

can you swear to me that

whatever I tell you,

you can't spread it around.

You have my word.

We won't tell anyone.

That's not a man-eating castle,

it's our clan's Tomb of Blades!

Tomb of Blades?

Clan leader,

we haven't found Mo Xuanyu and the Ghost General.

Keep searching.

I have to see them,

even if they're dead.

Hanguang Jun,

it's late at night,

why do you go to the Tomb of Blades?

Something needs to be done.

Clan leader Nie,

why did your clan

sacrifice thousands of people just to seal the blades?

No, it's not like that.

Let me explain it, Hanguang Jun.

We didn't kill them.

We worked hard to collect the corpses.

Collecting corpses?

Why?

In order to...

suppress the blade spirits!

I'm listening.

You know,

the ancestors of the Nie Clan were butchers.

Their weapons were blades,

they used blades in an aggressive way.

But the stiffest tree is most easily cracked.

The late clan leaders of our clan

died because they were possessed.

Their blades were full of wrath and hostility.

Oh.

That explains why you

use a fan instead of a blade.

The blade spirit surrenders to only one owner,

only the owner can suppress it.

If its owner dies,

without evil spirits to feed on,

it starts to cause trouble.

I understood.

Since the blade spirits want to fight with evil,

your family decided to bury the corpses together with the blades

to have them fight against each other,

and control them.

That's correct!

This is how the sixth clan leader

managed to keep us safe for hundreds of years.

But 10 years ago,

a group of grave robbers

somehow heard the story of the castle.

They thought the Tomb of Blades

was the grave of enlightened men.

And they broke into it.

I had just succeeded as clan leader back then,

and brought men to check.

The creepiest thing was that

dozens of people

had just disappeared!

They didn't disappear.

They moved the corpses

and ruined the balance.

They were made to stay there

to atone for their mistakes.

Childe... Childe Mo,

you know a lot of things.

Therefore to avoid this happening again,

you started the rumor about a man-eating castle?

No, people in town started that.

I was afraid someone would come again,

so I just exaggerated it.

But...

We sealed everything inside the castle,

but the bloodstains were outside the castle.

What's the problem?

It's just like it was 10 years ago.

The bodies have melted.

Those are...

the robes of my clansmen.

Jin Ling destroyed the tomb,

I sent men to find more corpses and seal the entrance.

Men in black?

Are they the same men as the assassins at Huaicang Mountain?

We don't know anything about that.

You go into the castle.

I'll take care of them.

Be careful.

This flute isn't the easiest to use,

but...

it's more than enough to deal with you.

Kill him!

Childe Mo,

you really hid yourself well.

Childe Mo, help me!

Xichen,

Guangyao.

Huaisang, what happened?

Well...

this time I really don't know anything.

Lan Zhan!

This guy isn't as good as Lan Zhan,

but he seems familiar with the swordplay of Lan Clan.

Get in formation!

The traces of...

the Kiss of Decay?

Is this?

Clearly, Lan Zhan has suppressed it...

Why suddenly...

The arm?

The Devil's Mark has reacted...

The evil being that Jin Ling has offended

must be connected to the arm!

With so many corpses unburied,

we can't seal the blade spirits.

I've checked it

and didn't find any missing a left arm.

That can't be.

Is this the wrong place?

It's the very place where Jin Ling was buried.

When I entered the castle,

the man in black was digging up bodies too.

My apology.

Is this...

Childe Mo,

Wangji has removed most of the Devil's Mark.

With this pill,

you'll fully recover within a half month.

Thank you, clan leader Lan.

Don't worry, Huaisang.

Xichen and I

will help you take care of this.

Thank you, Guangyao.

The Tomb of Blades belongs to my older brother.

I didn't expect...

Wangji,

what do you plan to do?

To find the arm's owner

and figure out who split his soul and body.

These men in black

are well-trained and vicious.

They could cause great trouble

if we failed to figure out who they are.

Hanguang Jun,

the mastermind might be powerful,

let me send some men to help you.

Thank you, clan leader Jin.

But I don't need them for now.

If we're in trouble,

I'll seek help from the watchtower.

Fine.

Xuanyu,

I heard you're practicing dark arts.

It's not accepted by the masses,

as long as you have a good heart, it's fine.

Follow Hanguang Jun and learn from him.

It sounds like he and Mo Xuanyu know each other.

Less talk means fewer mistakes.

Yes.

No time to waste.

We have to get going now.

They use both the blade spirits and copses to restrain the wrath.

It seems without the Devil's Mark,

we'll never find the legs.

That's pretty impressive!

11 years ago, a man's soul and body were split here,

the robbers broke into the Tomb of Blades next year.

The timing matches.

The grave robbers must have encountered the men in black.

And just like what happened to clansmen of the Nie Clan,

they were melted down

until only their blood remained.

And, most importantly...

After 14 years,

it's finally appeared.

That person

is very familiar with the swordplay of Lan Clan.

He had a cover on the sword

in case we could recognize it.

Lan Zhan,

is he someone you know well?

No.

That makes it even more complicated.

I've searched Wen Ning's memory.

Besides Jin Guangshan,

there was another man from the Lan Clan of Gusu.

Do you think

it's the same man?

The Lan Clan of Gusu?

Anyone come to mind?

I have no idea.

But as for Jin Guangshan...

At Nevernight, Wen Ning didn't lose control?

Jin Guangshan wanted to kill you,

but the Jiang Clan of Yunmeng tried to protect you.

Besides, Xichen and the clan leader Nie agreed

to find out the truth about the Kiss of Decay.

So,

he used Wen Ning

to drive a wedge between me

and the Lan Clan and the Nie Clan.

Look how clever you are, Jin Guangshan.

Could it be Jin Guangshan

who displayed the Spirit Lure Formation?

We have no evidence,

but it could be him.

No evidence...

Lots of people want me dead,

so it's difficult to figure out who it is.

Back then I was so arrogant

that I didn't even believe what you said.

That's why I was set up.

Wei Ying,

you didn't want it to happen either.

I know

you did your best.

Yeah,

mistakes have already been made,

there's no point regretting things.

However,

we have some clues now.

At least

the man who summoned me with the self-sacrificial ritual

must know the truth.

Or if we figure out who the owner of the arm is,

we can solve everything.

Is this the direction of...

= Qinghe =

Besides the Soul Expeller,

we only summoned an incomplete soul.

It pointed west.

It's a huge area. How are we supposed to find it?

I'll associate with spirits,

we will find it.

Have you heard

something happened at the man-eating castle?

Yeah,

I saw lots of men

from the Jin Clan and the Lan Clan heading toward Traverse Hill!

The "Head-shaker" is asking for help again.

So many people!

Is Yiling Patriarch back?

How does this have anything to do with me?

Nonsense!

He died because he was consumed by his ghost army,

there's no way he'd come back.

Wei Ying.

There's one thing I still don't understand.

There's still something you don't understand?

Tell me. I want to know.

Everyone says that

you were consumed by your ghost army.

I checked the Burial Mounds

and know it's not true.

I died,

it doesn't matter

how I died.

Wei Ying...

A rattle-drum!

I don't know why

I love this little toy.

Lan Zhan, Lan Zhan,

please buy one for me.

It's different,

this one was killed by a sword.
