(Back From The Brink)

(Episode 39)

(The Spirit Dragon should've burnt Dark Phantom.)

(Where is all of this dark aura coming from?)

(Why were these)

(not disintegrated by the dragon fire?)

Lingxiao.

Dark Phantom?

Your master used every ounce of his power

to seal me alone.

But now, there are hundreds and thousands of me.

What makes you think you stand a chance against me?

It's not easy to reach your level of cultivation.

Why not

join me

as Suying did?

(Self-restraint.)

(To think your heart)

(is void of all selfish desires.)

Human hearts are restless

and prone to err.

(Master's spirit in heaven, )

(to think he would enlighten me)

(to the great path of Taoism now.)

Many are regrets

when it comes to fate and destiny.

If you can see into your heart,

you will attain the power of a grandmaster.

You will understand when the time is right.

Concentrate.

Stay on the path.

(My heart is bright.)

There is nothing more for me to say.

I will sacrifice my life

to execute this formation.

You won't stop me for a moment,

even if you sacrifice yourself.

I am the leader of Chenxing Mountain.

I will protect this world

even if it costs my life!

Even if it would only stop you for a moment,

I have no regrets!

(Liquor)

All right.

All of Qingqiu's local specialties

are here.

Yanhui,

this trip back will be as if you're visiting your natal family.

You'll certainly impress them with this.

I haven't gone back in a long time.

I want to bring back some local specialties

for everyone to try.

Let's wrap them all up.

Yanhui.

What's this?

Is this yours?

Master.

Yanhui.

Yanhui!

What's wrong with her?

What's going on?

Something is wrong with the jade ring.

Master, he…

Why is there

such a demonic phenomenon on Starhaven?

Master must've died

to stop

the evil spirits from escaping.

The evil spirits must not escape Chenxing Mountain!

Everyone,

follow me to Starhaven

to help Master seal the evil spirits!

-Yes! -Yes!

Dragon King.

Dragon King.

What is that?

It looks scary.

Where are they going?

Don't be afraid.

(No matter)

(what we're up against, )

(I will not allow the Dragon Valley)

(to be harmed once more.)

Stay in the valley.

Do not leave this place.

Your Majesty,

will you not stay with us?

I'm going to find Yanhui.

(Good and evil are not determined by the self.)

(I decide what is right and wrong.)

(Mere ants)

(dare)

(to challenge me.)

(The strong always prevails.)

(That is the law of the world.)

I have finally returned

after 20 years.

Aura of the darkest,

gather here.

Heed my command!

Plunge this world into chaos

and wreak havoc!

(Our swords subdue all evil spirits, )

(and our chivalry will rid the world of demons.)

I knew you would come.

You must be wondering

how

I returned.

Your master

tried so hard to stop me.

He even sacrificed himself

just like Qingguang did,

but

I still shattered him into pieces.

My body was destroyed

the moment the flames of the dragon

swept through my mind's eye.

I am now without a form or vessel.

But it was you

who awakened me.

It was your greed, ill will, and delusion

that brought me back

to the peak of Chenxing Mountain

once more.

Yanhui,

Lingxiao is dead.

I understand you are in pain.

You regret not being able

to protect Chenxing Mountain.

I can feel your rage,

pain,

and torment.

You must hate me.

Yanhui,

did you know what was the last thing Lingxiao said

before he died?

He said

he never regretted taking you as his disciple.

It's a pity

that he won't hear you

call him Master again.

You can't kill me,

and neither can you get rid of me.

You and everyone in this world

will all become my slaves.

All of you will serve me

and sustain me.

Yanhui!

Yanhui!

Don't let him get to you!

Yanhui!

(From now on, )

Chenxing Mountain will be your home.

(Master, )

what are these characters?

It's your name.

Yanhui.

So what if you're only a one-star disciple?

You didn't embarrass me.

You have your strengths.

You are true to yourself.

(I'll definitely)

(call him Master)

(the next time we meet.)

Master…

Yanhui, come with me!

Yanhui!

Master…

(She has succumbed to her inner demons.)

I shall take care

of you first, shadow spirit.

The dragon fire?

(She is a practitioner of dark aura.)

(How can she use the technique of a dragon?)

(Could it be…)

I'll kill you!

(Oh, no!)

(Yanhui is going to be engulfed by the dark aura!)

Excellent.

Very soon, you will become

a slave to the dark aura.

Even if that happens,

I will never let you go!

Yanhui!

Don't let them get to you.

Tianyao!

My master…

He's dead…

Chenxing Mountain…

is gone…

It's all because of Dark Phantom…

I'm going to kill him…

I'll kill him!

I'll kill him!

I'll kill him!

I'll kill him…

Yanhui!

Yanhui!

You can't let yourself turn into them.

You mustn't be blinded by hatred!

No…

I'm going to kill him…

I'll kill him!

Look at me.

Yanhui,

look at me.

Lingxiao's death

and the fall of Chenxing Mountain

are all because they refused to submit to Dark Phantom.

If you

fall for his scheme,

then…

Lingxiao's death

and the sacrifices

of all the disciples of Chenxing Mountain

would've been in vain.

You must

remain calm.

No matter how difficult it is,

you must control yourself.

Yanhui...

they never gave in.

You can't let them down.

Master…

Yanhui.

Master…

Master…

(I've sounded the bell of death.)

(Where do you think you can escape to?)

Yanhui.

The dark aura has spilled into the world.

People will be affected.

The Luochuan Dragon Valley has the dragon's scent.

I can create a barrier with the dragon fire

in the valley

to shelter some of the people.

All right.

Then, I'll absorb the dark aura

outside the barrier

to help you.

But the dragon scent can hurt you.

It's fine.

The world is enveloped in the dark aura.

I can feed on the dark aura

without worrying about consuming myself.

Yanhui…

Separate from each other!

My mind's eye is about to break.

I'm out of spiritual power.

I can't separate

the dragon fire and the dark aura.

Tianyao,

take Bai Xiaosheng back with you.

I'll inform the survivors to take refuge

in the Dragon Valley.

All right.

Be careful.

Let me see him.

How is he?

He's not hurt too badly.

Come on. Carry him over there.

-Let's go. -Come on.

Zixia Clan.

All right. Over there.

Zixia Clan.

You're from the Zixia Clan too?

Yellow Crane.

Hang in there.

Here. Move a little over here.

Go there.

Go there to receive treatment.

Here's the gauze.

Here. Take this.

How did this happen?

Slowly.

Dragon King.

We saw the dark aura

sweeping across everything from Qingqiu.

Mr. Yan suggested we come to the Dragon Valley.

We were right to do so.

Heal him.

All right.

Is Yanhui

not coming back?

Where are you going?

To do what I should.

I fixed the Flower Medallion.

It's a dangerous path ahead.

At least let us know you're safe.

Thank you.

Take care.

It's a shooting star!

No.

That's hope.

Is anyone here?

(They haven't been)

(completely devoured by the dark aura yet.)

(Maybe I can try)

(to absorb the dark aura)

(inside them.)

(Almost…)

(Almost there…)

Give up.

It's useless.

Resistance is futile.

You can't get rid of the evil

in people.

(That's…)

(Zichen!)

(Ziyue!)

(Chenxing Mountain isn't gone!)

(Chenxing Mountain is still here!)

Yanhui,

are you all right?

Zichen...

Is Chenxing Mountain still there?

Yes.

-It is. -It's still there.

Chenxing Mountain still exists?

Yes.

Zichen.

Ziyue.

This is

the entrance to the Dragon Valley.

Hurry inside

and get your injuries treated.

Aren't you coming with us?

No.

I'm going to search

for other survivors.

Let's go.

Yanhui.

I didn't use to like you.

Ziyue.

I know.

Even when you were chased

out of the Chenxing Mountain,

people who didn't like you

didn't feel any happier.

The day you were expelled,

Master came to the entrance too.

(I complained to him)

(that you were heartless.)

(You lived here for a decade.)

(Yet you never once turned back when you left.)

Master has always been a man of few words.

But that day, he told me…

(This is what Yanhui should be like.)

(He knew)

(that even on your own, )

you would continue forth

just fine

with your back straight,

strong and determined.

I will not disappoint him.

Still haven't given up?

I am the embodiment of the evil in the human heart,

formed by greed, ill will, and delusion

of the world.

You are the Spiritual Dragon of Heaven and Earth.

You can destroy my vessel of flesh,

but you cannot rid the demons in human hearts.

You will never be able

to defeat me completely.

You'll only fall

into meaningless struggles time and time again.

The world will only grow desperate

and numb

in this endless tangle.

No one will thank you.

They might not even remember you.

Good and evil. Light and dark.

I will turn all of them upside down.

When the time comes,

you will be the one

regarded as an anomaly.

Only one himself can decide to whether be good or evil.

It is not for you to manipulate!

I will kill you no matter how many times

you come back to life!

Yanhui…

Yanhui.

How did I get here?

How long have I been asleep?

It has been about five days.

Where's Yanhui?

Tianyao?

They're protecting everyone

in their own ways.

(Good and evil are only one thought away)

(from human or spirit.)

(Let fate take its course and take what may come as it is.)

(All may ascend to immortality)

(with a calm mind.)

(Good and evil are only one thought away)

(from human or spirit.)

What's going on here?

(Let fate take its course and take what may come as it is.)

This is Chenxing Mountain's divine chant.

It can dispel impure thoughts

from one's mind.

We don't know

how effective it is,

but this is the only thing.

I can do now.

(From human or spirit…)

So I will do my best.

(Let fate take its course...)

You're right.

(and take what may come as it is.)

You guys…

(All may ascend to immortality…)

Well-said.

Right now,

we do

what we can.

The dark aura out there comes

from the ill thoughts in people's minds.

If we can reduce those thoughts,

we will be helping.

Tianyao and Yanhui.

(Let fate take its course)

They're…

(and take what may come as it is.)

outside.

(All may ascend to immortality…)

It's no use worrying about them.

I think we should all voice

our thoughts and regrets

with this divine chant.

Let us not let them fester into resentment.

My greatest regret is not being able

to return

to Chenxing Mountain at the end.

But you're still here.

You being alive has already given Yanhui

a lot of hope.

What troubles me most

is being unable to promise my wife and child

a peaceful future.

(Let fate take its course…)

Whatever the future holds,

I am

with you.

My biggest regret

is not being able

to say goodbye to my father.

I didn't get to say goodbye

to His Majesty too.

But don't be sad,

Zhuli.

Life's partings are always in such a hurry.

We just have to live each remaining day

to the fullest

and not leave any more regrets.

The hardest thing for me to let go of

is pushing the only one I ever loved

into another's arms.

(Let fate take its course and take what may come as it is.)

(All may ascend to immortality)

(with a calm mind.)

No one can top that.

(Good and evil are only one thought away)

(from human or spirit.)

These are special circumstances.

No more holding grudges for you.

I'm over it.

Now, I know

that it can be a blessing to let someone

find happiness with another.

I haven't seen a survivor in a long time.

The outside world…

It's a pity that I cannot do anything

about the ones that have been turned into scorched dirt.

Yanhui.

Bai Xiaosheng!

Why did you come out here?

I'm fine.

I heard you were saving people in the Dragon Valley,

so I came to check on you.

It's dangerous out there. Go back inside.

I haven't fully recovered yet,

but I can handle being out here for a while.

And I need

to give you this too.

A Flower Medallion?

Tianyao has one too.

I hope this lets you guys get in touch with each other.

Tianyao?

He's still fighting against Dark Phantom.

Just like you,

he hasn't given up.

Yet there's nothing I can do.

I'm really sorry.

People in the Dragon Valley are in low spirits too.

Tell them to hang in there.

There will be

hope.

(How long has it been?)

(One day?)

(Two days?)

(A month?)

(Two months?)

Tianyao.

Tianyao.

Can you hear me?

Tianyao?

Yanhui,

I'm here.

Tianyao!

Where are you?

Are you all right?

The Misty Forest.

Dark Phantom keeps resurrecting.

I can only dispel him

over and over again

with the dragon fire.

These days,

I've been searching

for survivors too.

I brought them back to the Dragon Valley.

But there are so many more

that have been turned into scorched dirt

by the dark aura.

There is nothing I can do to help them.

Tianyao…

I'm scared.

Dark Phantom's power

is beyond everything we imagined.

Before this,

I always thought

we could do it.

There had to be a way.

But what if

there's really nothing we can do this time?

What if

we are powerless against him?

Yanhui,

I've been fighting against Dark Phantom up until now.

I can no longer tell day from night.

It always seems that the nights are longer

than the days here.

I don't know

if I can defeat him either.

But at least

the moment

I dispel the dark aura with my dragon fire,

all of you are safe.

Maybe that will let you

save just one more life.

That makes this

all worth it.

Yanhui,

I have been in many desperate situations

in my life.

Every step feels as if.

I am treading on the brink of the abyss.

The only thing I can do

is give everything I have

to defy

fate.

Tianyao.

The most fortunate thing

to happen to me in this life

is to have you with me

when I am at the end of my tether

and have nothing left.

Come Yama or underworld...

I will be by your side.

(We can only change destiny)

(if we spare no effort.)
