[The Unclouded Soul]

[Episode 8]

Don't move.

Can I move now?

How much money would it take

to buy your smile?

To smile only for me?

I got it.

What filth is this?

What filthy thing is this?

What I need is

human blood.

I need virgin blood.

Go find it for me!

You!

Did you hear me?

The city gates are sealed now.

The Feiyu Guard is keeping watch there every day.

Let me tell you.

If I weren't waiting for Yunyi to return,

I couldn't hold on anymore, you know?

Do you hear me?

Honey.

Our Qionghua Sect still needs me now.

We must eliminate evil spirits

and uphold justice,

have you forgotten all that?

Eliminate evil spirits...

Yeah.

Then what do I see before me?

[Yunlai Inn]

What are you thinking about?

Madam Jin?

Miss Xiao Yao, I know I'm being presumptuous,

but I'm desperate about my daughter,

and I hope you can understand.

Could I ask you to guide me?

I want to find Yunyi and bring her back.

Please come in.

Sit.

All right.

Thank you.

Madam, you must still not trust me yet.

Please don't misunderstand, miss.

I've always trusted you.

It's just that

our Qionghua Sect

has many matters to attend to,

and we plan to leave Pingjiang soon.

Even though Yunyi's eyes are being treated,

you can't wait any longer?

Yunyi has been blind since childhood.

Her father and I

sought famous doctors everywhere to treat her,

but saw no improvement.

Perhaps it's not an illness,

but fate.

Madam, what happened here?

Perhaps it was the cat.

Yes, it was the cat.

You look haggard today.

Did you not rest well last night?

I heard that Qionghua Sect disciples

were patrolling with the Feiyu Guard,

and encountered a great demon last night,

disturbing you.

Last night,

there was nothing unusual.

Perhaps

I was too worried about my daughter and didn't sleep well.

Indeed.

Without seeing Yunyi with your own eyes,

as her mother, naturally you can't sleep soundly.

I might as well—

so I won't be accused of being an accomplice.

I'll take you to see her later.

-Okay. -But Madam,

I drank too much last night.

I need some time to prepare.

Why don't you go back and rest first?

In an hour,

let's meet at the entrance of the inn.

No problem.

It seems Flower Lady misses Yunyi too.

Look, she's so anxious she's scratching.

Stay here, miss. See you later.

All right.

Good morning.

I was just about to look for you.

What's wrong with you?

I'm smiling.

Why are you smiling?

How much money would it take

to buy your smile?

To smile only for me?

It's nothing.

What did you want to see me about?

The real culprit is likely to appear soon.

Li.

Li.

I think I can see you now,

but I still can't see you clearly.

With more time,

you'll see clearly.

Mm-hmm.

I'm not in a hurry.

I've waited so many years already.

Li,

when I can

finally see clearly,

will I be shocked?

Will Dad and Mom

be different from what I imagined?

But

you must be exactly

like what I've imagined—

incredibly handsome.

I'm very ugly.

You're so good to me.

Even if you're truly ugly, it doesn't matter.

My disciples.

-Yes! -Yes!

It's time again for us disciples of Qionghua Sect

to eliminate evil for the people.

Miss Xiao Yao.

I'm sorry.

I originally thought

just the two of us

could quietly bring Yunyi back.

But unexpectedly,

my husband found out about it

and now it has become

this grand spectacle.

It's all right.

If Yunyi knew so many people were going to get her,

she would be very happy.

We must eliminate all demons!

We are

duty-bound to do so!

-Yes! -Yes!

Yunyi,

your parents are here to see you.

Yunyi, it's Mother!

If you hear my voice, please come out.

Lead the way.

I would like to kindly remind you

this fog can affect your mind.

If your willpower is weak,

you might even take your own life.

Sect Leader and I will go in first.

The rest of you wait here.

We'll call if we need you.

Master, Mistress, be careful!

Please lead the way, miss.

Miss Xiao Yao.

Miss Xiao Yao.

Muqing!

Why have you trapped my soul?

You demon...

You hypocritical murderer.

Give me back my life!

Why have you trapped my soul?

You demon.

You hypocritical murderer!

Give me back my life!

Why have you trapped my soul?

You demon!

You hypocritical murderer!

Give me back my life!

Give me back my life!

Murderer!

Give me back my life!

You hypocritical murderer!

Give me back my life!

Give me back my life!

Give me back my life!

Give me back my life!

Give me back my life!

Give me back my life!

Murderer!

Give me back my life!

Give me back my life!

Impossible!

Impossible...

Impossible!

You're all already dead.

These are just my illusions!

Impossible!

Give me back my life! Give me back my life!

Give my life back!

Return my life now!

Demon!

Your true colors are revealed.

You pose as a celestial cultivator,

yet blame all your evil deeds

on demons.

Today, I, a demon,

am ridding humans of a menace.

Wait!

Let's tie him up and hand him over to the Feiyu Guard.

Must I follow human rules

when upholding justice?

Please show mercy!

Madam Jin?

He acts righteous by day,

but kills and drinks blood by night.

With such evil deeds,

you still protect him?

Muqing became like this

because of me.

When Muqing first joined Qionghua Sect,

his talent wasn't remarkable.

His cultivation

was rather slow too.

But among all disciples,

he was the most diligent

and kindest to me.

I had a heart condition since childhood.

He often practiced with me,

helped ease my pain,

and even transferred his energy to me.

Under his attentive care,

my health gradually improved.

My father saw his sincerity toward me

and gave me to him in marriage.

On our wedding night,

I finally learned the truth.

Hubby?

Hubby?

Honey, be quiet.

Don't be afraid. It's me.

Don't be scared!

Honey.

Don't come any closer!

Honey.

Stay back!

Don't be afraid.

Honey, don't scream.

Listen to me.

It's me.

Don't be afraid.

Don't be afraid.

I lost control of my cultivation

and my mind...

my mind went astray

to find a cure for you.

Believe me.

I never wanted to kill people and drink blood.

Honey, I have a Soul-binding Spell.

I have a Soul-binding Spell!

You...

just stay there and talk.

All right.

Lower your voice.

Honey.

Once I use the Soul-binding Spell,

they won't find the bodies, Honey.

Trust me.

Qionghua Sect

is an orthodox immortal sect

meant to eliminate evil spirits

and protect the people.

Look at what you've become.

How will you

reconcile with yourself in the future?

Are you suggesting

I should turn myself in to the authorities

or lose all my powers

and die in agony?

Honey.

I truly don't want to kill anyone.

I promise you,

unless absolutely necessary,

I won't kill

or drink blood!

Honey.

I truly wanted to save your life.

Rest assured,

I will help these souls find peace

and reenter the cycle of reincarnation.

Believe me.

I didn't mean to do it.

I didn't mean to do it.

I never meant for this to happen.

After that,

we traveled everywhere with our disciples.

We claimed to be hunting demons,

but in truth,

we were searching for the Yuli Spring.

I know my sins are grave.

I've thought about ending my life with him.

But then

Yunyi came into our lives,

and I couldn't let go anymore.

Yunyi was born blind.

Isn't that a form of retribution?

But what fault is it of Yunyi's?

So all these years,

wherever we went,

I prayed at every temple.

I just wanted to pray...

pray...

for my sins to be lightened.

[Temple of Eternal Life]

I am burdened with sin.

I beg the Bodhisattva for forgiveness.

I vow to be vegetarian for life,

to guide and save others,

only asking to help the deceased find peace

and receive their forgiveness.

May my daughter grow up safely

and not bear the burden of her parents' sins.

Have you ever saved a man with a scar

in a Bodhisattva Temple on Qingyuan Mountain?

I didn't save him.

He ate the offerings

and thus planted good karma.

A mountain elf that is neither human nor demon

practices medicine to help others,

yet is despised by people.

The Sect Leader of Qionghua Sect

has gone astray in cultivation,

yet is revered by all.

That's what the human realm is like.

Go to sleep.

When you wake up,

your eyes will be able to see.

I can't fall asleep.

Why don't you tell me another story?

I only have a few stories

and I've told them all already.

I don't care.

Tell me another one.

You can make up a new one.

Once upon a time,

there was a butcher and a monk

who were good friends.

They woke each other up every morning.

But after they died,

the butcher went to heaven

while the monk went to hell.

Because the butcher did good deeds every day

by waking the monk to chant sutras.

While the monk woke the butcher every day

only for him to take lives.

Master.

Master.

Have you found Junior?

Master.

Master!

Master!

Master!

It's over.

It has finally come.

I beg the Demon King not to interfere.

I will end this myself.

Leave my Qionghua Sect

with its last bit of dignity.

Miss Xiao Yao.

In the future,

if you...

ever see Yunyi again,

please tell her

that her parents

died hunting demons.

I'm sorry

you were

wrongfully accused.

Please.

Don't worry, Madam.

Keep your voice down.

Yunyi is asleep.

We found the killer.

It was Yunyi's father,

Jin Muqing.

Yunyi's mother

once at

the Bodhisattva Temple on Qingyuan Mountain

helped guide a fated person.

She guided many others too.

But she could never redeem her husband's sins.

Your sins have been redeemed.

That was their own karma—

It was Jin Muqing's evil deeds.

Madam should never have had to pay for them.

When Yunyi's eyes open again,

please give her

a clear world.

Don't let her see

the suffering of the human realm again.

Let him go.

He wants to protect the person he cares about most.

Qionghua Sect has betrayed its own principles

and harmed innocent people.

The truth has now come to light.

Surrender now!

Senior.

Senior.

Honey.

Tell them

I didn't kill anyone.

I'm innocent.

I didn't commit those murders.

I didn't kill anyone!

You didn't kill them.

Tell them quickly.

Quick...

I'm sorry.

I

am truly exhausted.

Senior, do you remember

when we got married,

we promised Father

to uphold justice for life

and restore our sect's glory?

I remember you once said

you wanted to find a place with beautiful nature with me

where we could live like immortals together.

Don't be afraid.

Our wish is about to come true.

Madam Jin!

Why?

Have you kept the promise

you made to me all these years?

I haven't harmed anyone since.

Very good.

You've redeemed yourself.

Congratulations, My Lord,

for leading the Feiyu Guard to eliminate this great demon.

The court will surely reward you generously.

The Qionghua Master was severely poisoned,

and both he and his wife have perished.

If there's a reward,

we should get the lion's share, shouldn't we?

Yes, indeed.

You...

You Qionghua Sect members are completely twisting the facts

and have no shame!

You're the ones who forgo honor for profit.

The credit belongs to us Feiyu Guards.

Isn't that right, brothers?

Li?

Li?

Li?

This is what happens when you don't cultivate properly.

You end up in human hands,

becoming nothing but a plaything.

I think it looks quite happy though.

Yes,

I think so too.

Master, I'd like to ask...

In this world,

there are many more girls like you

who need Li's healing.

If you miss him,

use the eyes he gave you

to see all things in this world.

He would surely be happy.

But we agreed to see it together.

How could he break his promise?

Because

he had a more important vow

to keep.

Can someone keep Flower Lady in check?

What are you doing,

hugging and biting me all over?

Coming.

She was quite obedient.

Obedient?

Let me tell you something.

When we cultivate...

What is this?

This is a fragment of the Kunlun Mirror.

When all eight pieces are gathered,

it will open the path to Penglang Celestial Mountain

and lead to the Yuli Spring.

How did it end up here?

The fragments of the Kunlun Mirror

are formed from emotional attachments.

The eight pieces represent life's eight sufferings.

This particular piece is called

"Lasting Resentment."

Birth, aging, sickness, death.

Separation from the beloved.

Lasting resentment.

Unfulfilled desires.

Inability to let go.

Mortals

always chase elusive immortality,

yet overlook the happiness right before them.

Come in.

Why are you here?

This jade pendant,

take it with you.

Whenever you call,

I will surely appear.

Thank you.

But no need.

I've been through a lot recently

and my mind has become much clearer.

I've realized

that I must rely on myself

and not always depend on others.

Even if it's me?

Even you.

To others,

I am the Monarch of All Demons,

but to you,

I am just your Hong Ye,

your eternal support.

Before,

I was wrong.

Let's not mention the past anymore.

What I want is

to have at least the same level of magic

as Xiao Ming and Xiao Mu.

Though not as powerful as you— the strongest in the world—

but when facing threats,

I could at least defend myself.

Strong enough to survive

Hei Wu and Bingzhu,

while protecting Dali, Luoluo and the others.

Also,

I don't want

you to be in danger because of me in the future.

I don't mind,

no matter how difficult it gets.

All right, I need to go to class now.

That's not right.

What's going on?

Let me do it.

You do it.

You didn't recite the incantation.

Didn't I?

Let's do it together. Let's charge at it.

Ready, begin.

Transform!

It's not working. Could it be the leaf?

This one looks like it.

Let's try this one.

No.

To have survived the Demons' Valley disaster—

you owe your lives

to the protection

of countless ancestors.

The humans have retreated for now,

but if they attack again,

with your current power and skills,

will you be able to protect yourselves?

From today onwards,

classes in Demons' Valley will resume.

The assessments will also become extremely rigorous.

Everyone must remember:

you must master lethal techniques,

and know sly tricks

as well.

He looks exactly like him!

Even the clothes are the same.

To subdue humans,

besides absolute power,

you must also manipulate their desires.

And human desires

are nothing but money,

power,

and appearances.

Humans are driven by their desires.

Humans

are nothing but slaves

to their desires.

It's fake.

If you want humans to obey,

just give them what they want.

The more they want,

the more willingly

they'll put their lives in your hands.

Don't be afraid.

Pair up.

Use the hair collected

during your human realm test for practice.

This is good.

Those who fail to transform today

will stay after class.

Detention again.

So annoying.

Actually,

humans don't live

solely for power, money,

and appearances.

For many humans,

these things are far less important than family and friends.

Yeah.

If we want to understand humans,

we shouldn't generalize.

Actually, humans are like demons,

they also have emotions and love.

Emotions and love?

Those are just the most despicable means

humans use to disrupt our demon realm.

Among the humans we've met,

how many showed genuine feelings?

Right.

Is it the hypocritical Qionghua Sect,

or the Feiyu Guard who plundered Demons' Valley?

Only enemies

can see their enemies' weaknesses clearly.

-Xiao Yao... -Stop talking about this.

She has stayed in the human realm for too long

and has been bewitched by humans.

She is punished to copy

the "Records of Despicable Human Tactics" 10 times after class

to wake herself up.

But...

Pair up.

Come get hair samples from me,

and start practicing immediately.

I'll go first.

Here I come.

Luoluo!

Your nose is completely gone.

My turn.

I look quite handsome, don't I?

Yes! You're still attractive as a man.

Poor.

Why?

I transformed quite well.

-Yeah. -How can we be Poor?

-It was good. -Next group.

Let me try!

Wasn't it pretty good?

It was.

This didn't disappear.

Why did you get Poor then?

I couldn't speak.

The Prefect's daughter.

So this is what it feels like to be fleshy.

I did it!

Tiger, you're so good.

Tiger's tail.

Very Poor.

Keep practicing.

Why didn't you hide yourself?

This kind of Feiyu Guard isn't scary at all.

I'm dying of laughter.

Is it funny?

Yes, it is.

Transform.

Come on!

Looks exactly like him.

Amazing!
