[Sword and Beloved]

[Episode 16]

Young Master Fugui!

Young Master Fugui.

We have new news.

Quan Jingting

led his disciples into the East Region,

slaughtering every demon they saw. Blood flowed like a river.

And...

And it seems they used Chakuwa.

Love is fading while hatred is growing, and corpses are lying everywhere.

This must be what the Black Fox wants.

Do you remember Lu Shu?

Of course.

As a deer demon,

he somehow obtained an ancient Gu insect.

Was that really a coincidence?

Based on what we know,

Chakuwa

was most likely given to him by the Black Fox.

And now, Quan Jingting

is using Chakuwa on a large scale,

which suggests there may be some connection

between him and the Black Fox.

Are you saying

what my father has been doing

is connected to the Black Fox?

I'm not sure.

But what he's doing now is exactly

what the Black Fox wants to see.

Though Uncle owes you a lot,

under his leadership,

Yiqi Alliance

has enjoyed its most peaceful years in a century.

Whether my father is related to the Black Fox or not,

our top priority now

is to rescue Uncle as soon as possible.

Young Master Fugui,

do you think...

the Chief is...

He's still alive.

Among the families in Yiqi Alliance,

the Li Family of Peach Garden

has always been its biggest supporter.

To completely control Yiqi Alliance,

Quan Jingting must keep the Chief alive

to maintain internal balance.

Do we still have a chance

to turn things around?

Yes.

As long as we can prove the Black Fox's existence

before all the prestigious families,

my father

will be able to reclaim his old position.

Hatred.

I feel endless hatred.

Quan Jingting did a great job this time.

Now that Wangquan Hongye has lost power

and both the Human and Demon Realms are awash with blood,

my Grief Tree has finally begun to sprout.

Previously, I sent Gukui to persuade the Soldier to surrender.

How's it going?

Madam,

Gukui has reached the Soldier,

but he is stubborn and refuses to submit.

I don't believe he has

absolutely no hatred toward Yiqi Alliance.

Go.

Tell Gukui to find that dragon demon.

Yes.

Madam,

Guifeng has found the optimal container

and is currently waiting for the right moment.

Good.

I'll wait and see.

People from Qianji City are here! Run!

People from Qianji City are here! Run! Run!

Run!

Run!

People from Qianji City are here!

Run!

Run!

Folks!

Folks!

Little spider!

Sir!

Why is everyone running?

Little Spider,

what are you waiting for? Run!

What happened?

Qianji City sent people here!

They are hunting demons everywhere

and are about to reach Deer Village!

Run!

Sir, wait for me.

I'll go get the gems.

What are you thinking?

Your life is more important!

Run!

Stop!

Stop!

Stop!

Stop!

Stop!

Stop!

Little spider,

it's so dangerous here.

Why did you come back?

Who is it?

Who's talking?

What are you?

You are so pitiful.

[Little Black Fox, Guifeng]

I'm here to tell you

your sister won't come back.

Her heart has long belonged to the Soldier.

Nonsense!

My sister promised me.

We have a deal.

She wouldn't leave me behind!

She wouldn't.

She wouldn't!

Then why did she

choose the Soldier

instead of you

when you left the Silk Cave?

That was because

she owed the Soldier a life.

She wanted to repay his kindness.

People always speak

in a pompous manner when they lie.

Shut up!

Shut up!

Shut up!

What a poor little spider.

By the way, my name is Guifeng.

Get lost!

Remember it.

When you need me,

we'll meet again.

My sister will come back.

She promised me

she would come back.

She won't leave me behind.

I'll keep waiting.

I'll stay here and wait for her

until she comes.

My sister wouldn't leave me behind.

She wouldn't.

She wouldn't.

She wouldn't.

She wouldn't.

She wouldn't.

She wouldn't.

She wouldn't.

We've got a runner here.

She wouldn't.

Eat something.

Qingtong noticed that you've gone all day without eating or drinking.

Don't make her worry anymore.

Okay.

Fugui,

you've already been through 10,000 swords piercing your heart.

You owe Wangquan Manor nothing now.

But the Black Fox is beyond the circle.

How can we prove her existence?

Though the Black Fox herself is beyond the circle,

she has some clones.

Her clones have been

stirring up chaos in the circle.

I have bait

that can draw them out.

What bait?

Me.

Young Master Fugui, Mistress is here.

Don't tell her this.

Okay.

Benefactor.

Hmm.

Mistress,

we have received the message you sent.

Why are you here in person?

The information network of Silk Cave has been restored.

Lately, many great demons

have come to Silk Cave to buy information,

trying to find out your whereabouts.

I've thrown them off

with a few smokescreens.

Thank you, Mistress.

Of course,

I'm not here

to claim credit.

I came to tell you

that in Yiqi Alliance's attack on the East Region,

nearly 1000 demons were killed.

Quan Jingting's methods were vicious.

Those demons

died tragically.

I heard that

Quan Jingting's next target is the area

around Mount Baiwu, where the Silk Cave is located.

I know

the Silk Cave isn't in a position to ask this,

but after much thought,

I still want to

beg for your help on behalf of

the 800 demons living in Mount Baiwu.

Madam Yin,

you just said

those great demons

wanted to buy my whereabouts?

Yes.

Then give it to them.

Tell them the Soldier went mad during practicing

and was severely injured.

The Soldier and the Silk Cave

have always been enemies.

No one will suspect a thing

once you sell that news.

Since you've decided so,

the Silk Cave will make sure the news spreads throughout

both the Human and Demon Realms within a day.

Thank you.

Mistress,

my brother is in Deer Village.

I'd like to ask you to pass a message to him,

telling him

I'm fine.

Tell him to wait for me

and that

I'll come for him soon.

These are some things I prepared for him.

Please give them to him.

No problem.

Cousin,

do you know how long

I've waited for this day?

Thirty years.

Ever since the family banquet

when I was ten and you knocked me down,

it has been exactly 30 years.

I just

crippled one disciple in the manor,

and for that loser,

you forced me to kneel

and apologize

at the family banquet.

Fine.

I knelt.

But from that day,

a thorn was planted deep in my heart.

I swore

that one day, I'd make

the proud Young Master Wangquan

kneel before me

and pay back everything he owes me!

Tianmen Wenlu killed himself

to frame me

because you threatened him, right?

He had a 5-year-old daughter—adorable.

As long as one has attachments,

they can be controlled.

You are no exception.

Quan Jingting!

Don't rush.

The real show's yet to come.

Bring him in.

Fei!

Master,

I'm fine.

No vital injuries.

Your organs

are nearly shattered,

and you say you have no vital injuries?

Old Fei,

you talk tough.

Fei!

Fei!

Quan Jingting,

treat Fei's wounds now!

Treat his wounds?

Sure.

As long as you...

You want me to kneel, don't you?

Aside from life and death, nothing else matters.

You think

I would place that much importance

on my life and fame?

Master!

Master...

Aside from life and death,

nothing else matters.

Well said.

That's the man

I've served for over 40 years.

Quan Jingting,

let me ask you—

Do you have friends willing to risk their lives

to step out of the circle with you?

Do you have a lover

willing to die for you?

Do you have an offspring

who'd kowtow to you before leaving,

even after 10,000 swords pierce his heart?

Did you really defeat Master?

No.

You'll never win!

Do you want to die that badly?

Wangquan Hongye,

kneel.

If you don't kneel to me,

I'll kill this old guy immediately.

Kneel!

Master!

Master!

This

is the Sword Tomb.

Master,

if you kneel,

I'll kill myself to repay the ancestors at once!

I will keep my word!

Quan Jingting,

I will not kneel to you.

Stop dreaming about it.

Cousin,

you really are proud.

Fine.

Then watch

how this loyal servant who's served you for over 40 years

slowly dies before your eyes.

Fei!

Fei!

Fei!

Fei!

Fei!

Why do I feel

a strange flutter in my chest?

Young Master Fugui,

I'm back.

Young Master Fugui,

what's wrong?

You don't look well.

I have a very bad feeling.

Don't worry, Young Master Fugui.

Chief

will be fine.

Tomorrow night is the new moon.

Go get Rumu.

I've got a plan.

On the new moon, when the moon is dark and the stars are few,

demon power will be at its peak.

The great demons

will surely come to me for revenge.

Little Black Fox once came to me

after I was pierced by 10,000 swords,

trying to tempt me, but failed.

If I'm besieged by demons on the new moon,

it will come again.

This formation

is set for it.

The Black Fox

may come alone

or

possess a great demon.

Rumu.

Go outside the valley first and thin out the first wave.

Remember,

don't act tough,

and show mercy.

Don't worry.

Have you ever seen this kind of barrier?

Is there a way to break it?

It looks strange.

Be careful, there might be a trick.

The Soldier has been expelled from Wangquan Manor.

What are you all afraid of?

Yanhua,

you're a mighty great demon after all.

Isn't Huodou your good friend?

Can you show some courage?

What does the Soldier want to do?

He called us here to fight,

so why did he set up a barrier?

If you're not capable, don't go in and die.

Anyone who wants revenge on the Soldier,

follow me.

Why is it so quiet?

Is there a trap?

Are you afraid of death?

You can go back now.

Tonight is the new moon, with the moon dark and the stars few.

Guys,

be careful on the way.

Who the hell are you, you nobody?

Don't curse.

I'm not a nobody.

I am

a nameless swordsman.

You're the only one left.

If you want to challenge the Soldier,

you'll have to get past me first.

Come on.

I'm in a hurry.

Weiyun?

Who are you?

Do you know

how long I've waited for you?

Why are you here?

Why

were you possessed by the Black Fox?

Weiyun!

Weiyun!

The mighty Soldier actually

set up a formation in advance?

And it's a demon-slaying formation.

I don't just have this one formation.

Active!

I can break the formation in no time.

You have no sword.

Why bother struggling?

Really?

You actually have the spiritual fire?

Come out!

The Black Fox's power is born from hatred,

and your heart

is full of hatred.

It's not unfair to kill you.

Wangquan Fugui,

do you know who she is?

If you kill her,

you'll regret it.

Fugui!

Fugui,

don't.

Master already warned us to be on guard

against you burning your life and destroying yourself.

If you do, we'll kill this old man right away!

Fei!

Fei,

stop using your energy.

Quan Jingting somehow

got this black iron chain.

It can't be broken.

Fei,

step back.

Master,

are you going to destroy your inner core and burn your life?

Don't.

Don't do that.

As long as you're here,

the Wangquan family is here.

If you die,

Yiqi Alliance

will belong to Quan Jingting.

Fei,

this is the only path left to us.

Master.

I can rush out.

No, Fei!

You're so badly injured.

Fei! That's your vital point!

You'll die for sure if you do this!

It doesn't matter.

Only this way

can I fight my way out.

As long as you and the Wangquan family

survive,

that's enough.

Once I'm out, I'll find Young Master Fugui.

He will surely turn the tide.

Master,

from when you were a baby less than two feet tall,

to Young Master,

to Master, and to Chief—

I've been with you all along.

I know how hard your life has been.

But I still believe what Madam once said—

you are a great hero.

Master,

please be patient.

Yiqi Alliance cannot be without you.

I, Fei Tianqing,

the fifth steward of Wangquan Manor,

am incapable

and can only accompany you this far.

I, Wangquan Hongye,

the sixth Master of Wangquan Manor,

thank you, Fei,

for accompanying me all the way.

I didn't fail the Wangquan family!
