=Episode 7=

You haven't rested well lately.

Today,

you should rest easy.

You usually do housework?

Just some small chores.

I thought the Young Master of the demon sect

lived in luxury,

with servants

at his beck and call.

You read it in a storybook?

Father doesn't like noise.

He told me

that cleaning every inch

of his room

and organizing every book

he's read

was immensely joyful.

Your father is

not quite the man

I imagined.

In the stories,

all the Mus

are bloodthirsty villains.

Where's Qian Xueshen?

Don't worry.

He has a whole group serving him.

Right now,

it should be quite lively.

We're both guests.

Why is the treatment so different?

Mu,

how can you treat me like this?

The journey through the snow

is not as simple as walking down the street

to buy a box of rouge.

This lawless land

has fierce customs.

It's very dangerous.

One misstep could lead to a trap.

This place is so dangerous.

I think

I should go with you.

Lately,

you've risked enough for me.

Besides,

isn't Nie Zhe clearing out the Mu remnants?

You'd better stay out of sight.

Zhao, are you worried

about me?

I just think Nie Zhe is detestable.

By the way,

why did your Li Sect end up

with the Nie clan?

My great-grandfather adopted Nie Hengcheng.

He later assisted my grandfather.

Grandfather died young.

At that time, Father was not yet ten,

so Nie Hengcheng took over the sect

until Father came of age.

But Father had no interest in power,

so Nie Hengcheng kept running the sect,

eventually taking it as his own.

What kind of person is Nie Hengcheng

that my aunt

would risk her life to kill him?

Nie Hengcheng is talented

and rare in the world.

To the Six Sects,

he's a demon.

But in our sect,

he is a pillar of the world,

an unshakable anchor.

Then why did he

go against all rules,

killing without restraint?

That's because later

he mastered a supreme skill

that was called the Ziwei Method

and was created by the Mu ancestors.

This method

was powerful

and invincible,

but long lost.

Later, Nie Hengcheng somehow acquired

its cultivation method,

and it became the root of all disasters.

Father told me about this skill.

He said such a defiant skill

must have hidden dangers;

better not to practice at all.

Your father is truly a man of detachment.

I've always wondered:

If Father weren't so detached

and hadn't handed over the Chief position,

how many lives

would have changed?

Wu Yuanying wouldn't have suffered

for ten years.

Ms. Cai Pingshu

wouldn't have died so early.

It's not his fault.

He simply didn't want to go against his heart.

My aunt was like that, too.

She was bold and fearless

but afraid of being trapped at home.

Perhaps the same applies

to your father.

Your father

must be a very good man.

Otherwise, Uncle Chang

wouldn't trust you so easily after a single act of kindness.

It must be because of your father

that he believes

you're not a bad person.

Zhao...

What's wrong?

Thank you.

(Uncle Cheng, Li Sect) Young Master,

you weren't affected by the sleeping powder,

so why let Miss Cai go?

To cheer her up.

What a worthless bird.

It probably follows its master.

It's about to snow.

This place is so remote.

Is there somewhere to stay?

Ma'am,

we're here to stay.

Miss,

may I ask your name?

I'm Feng Xiaohan.

This is my...

Well.

My fiancé,

Wan Dazhuang.

Wan...

Since you two are a couple,

Blooming Flowers

is our best room.

It has a soft animal-skin bed

and fine bedding,

and the back door leads to hot springs.

Very romantic.

Payment

can be settled later

at checkout.

I didn't expect such attentive service

(Blooming Flowers) in this harsh, cold land.

Right, Dazhuang?

I'll bring your meal first.

You two look young

and delicate.

Why come to this freezing place?

To see the snowy scenery.

See the scenery?

This blizzard

is hardly a good time to sightsee.

Is that so?

I'll set the dishes for you.

Thanks, ma'am.

It's too hot!

Sorry.

I'm sorry.

Sorry to disturb you.

Sorry.

I'm sorry.

Sorry.

Sorry to disturb you.

I'm too clumsy.

(Qinong) Are you also here for the saliva?

What saliva?

The saliva of the Snow-Scale Beast.

It's said the long-lost Snow-Scale Beast

is about to appear.

Its saliva can repair internal energy

and grant longevity.

My master is weak,

so we're hoping for some luck.

Qinong.

I need to go back.

Slow down.

Wan Dazhuang?

Eyes frozen

on the beauty?

Miss,

this place isn't safe.

Do you want us

to scout the path?

Go away!

You...

It wasn't me.

It was me.

I've looked for you for so long.

Why betray me

and elope with this pretty boy?

Sir,

your attack is so cruel.

Though their behavior was wrong,

they didn't deserve death.

You...

Everyone,

those two are notorious rapists in the northwest,

killing dozens of women.

(Zhou Zhiqin, Peiqiong Manor)

They deserved

such deaths.

This is Uncle Zhou's cousin.

I saw him as a child.

Are you from Peiqiong Manor?

I'm Zhou Zhiqin.

May I ask

your name?

I am

Yan Ning.

Thanks for your help, Mr. Zhou.

You're my fiancée,

yet you ran off with my heirloom

and this pretty boy.

Surely, I'd look for you.

Who took your heirloom?

Wait. Who is your fiancée?

I'm not the pretty boy either.

Isn't this my heirloom,

the scale of the Snow-Scale Beast?

What a pity.

The pretty boy defiled it.

I don't want it anymore.

I want it.

Give it to me!

Mine!

Mine!

Played enough?

Just some Jianghu punks.

They can hardly fight.

Except for Mr. Zhou,

they're nothing.

Those three haven't acted yet.

Why did your Uncle Zhou also want the scale?

I don't know.

This is enough.

No wonder it's a family heirloom.

I heard the Snow-Scale Beast can sense this scale.

Losing it would be a shame.

Why not lend it to me?

Dazhuang has been weak since childhood.

I want to secure the saliva for him.

So, it is for the pretty boy.

Mr. Yan,

my son had an accident here last year.

The guards who escaped said

he encountered the Snow-Scale Beast

and died.

I just want to retrieve his body

for a proper burial.

Please, Mr. Yan,

lend me the scale.

Give it to me.

- Give it to me. - Mr. Yan.

Give it to me.

- Give it to me. - I need it, too.

Mr. Yan.

Good.

Once we find the saliva,

you'll come back with me.

Tomorrow morning,

let's set off

to find the saliva.

Okay.

Where did you get the scale?

The Jiuzhou Archive.

Does it have slime?

That kind of substance

does not congeal in the cold

and melts when heated.

The archive hasn't been cleaned for ages.

So, it couldn't be preserved.

Are we really going up the mountain

with those people tomorrow?

The enemy is better in the open

than in the dark.

Why did you chase after us?

You stole my Peng.

Of course, I had to get it back.

Sleeping powder?

The landlady?

Why sneak in

at night?

The snow mountains have spirits.

Trespassers won't fare well.

I advise you two

to return the way you came

to save your lives.

You must be very familiar

with the snowy mountains.

Better stay

and guide us.

Hidden elites.

Interesting.

You're still sick.

Why come here?

Are you worried about that Cai girl?

If not for fearing I'd slow her down,

I would go with her.

Zhao is not simple.

She might bring back the antidote.

Yuzhi,

you've never seemed to care so much about Lingbo.

Master is in danger;

the sect is in peril.

Yet you still have time for jokes?

Don't worry.

With me here,

Qingque Sect won't fall into chaos.

I'm still here.

There's not even a direction.

Where do we start looking?

Elder Tianji,

let's find a place to rest.

Alright.

Everyone, rest up ahead.

Let's go.

Qian Xueshen,

why so quiet today?

That's unusual.

Where's Mr. Zhang trailing us?

Who saw him?

Something's wrong.

We just came this way.

I've seen this stone.

We're back here again.

A ghost maze?

What a mess.

When we first came here,

we went straight...

It's a maze.

Everyone, line up,

one after another.

Try not to get separated.

This...

It's getting dark.

With a ghost maze, we'll never get out.

We'll either freeze

or starve to death here.

Where there's a will, there's a way.

As long as we follow it,

we can escape the maze.

Move.

Come on.

Unordinary fingers.

He knows palm kills

and can break the ice with inner power

to break the maze.

Who is he?

There's a house.

Everyone, get inside to avoid the snow.

Let's go.

Hurry.

Come on.

Follow closely.

This place has been abandoned for years.

Shu?

You two,

find a place to sleep.

Time to eat.

He's truly exhausted.

He won't get cold.

This trip

is undoubtedly perilous.

Are you really going to accompany me?

Though you're heartless toward me,

I can't do the same to you.

That old servant

reminds me of someone.

Who?

Another adopted son of my great-grandfather,

Elder Tianji,

Duan Jiuxiu.

He and Nie Hengcheng were both adopted.

Why was Nie Hengcheng the Chief,

while he was just an elder?

So, he couldn't accept it.

16 years ago, the Lord of Qingfeng Temple

mocked him as the eternal second.

He slaughtered the entire temple

and even turned young novices under ten

into human fodder.

Later, your aunt issued a Death Warrant.

It's said

he died in a ruined temple.

The footprint of the Snow-Scale Beast.

Congratulations, Master.

Move, move!

Let's go!

It's the Jade Statue.

The flowers on the base look

like the tri-colored peach blossoms unique to Luoying Valley.

Could she be Gu Qingkong?

In the wilderness,

who put this statue here?

All dead.

Dead for over six months.

There's a hole here.

A hole?

Wait.

There's something inside.

A snake!

A huge snake!

Qian Xueshen!

The Red-Eyed Crystal Python,

an ancient beast.

Its breath can connect to the underworld

and freeze everything.

Zhao,

stay close to me.

Alright.

Run!

Qian Xueshen!

Go!

I thought you'd care less

about life and death

after the Qingque Sect massacre.

Qian Xueshen came with me.

He's not evil.

If he falls into the hands

of the Demonic Camp,

after they use him,

he'll be dead anyway.

Jianghu is like this.

Only ruthlessness ensures survival.

If you're not ruthless,

you'll end up like Qian Xueshen.

Yulin,

I'm here.

I'll take you home.

That's Zhou Zhiqin's son, Zhou Yulin.

Yulin...

- Mr. Zhou found his son. - Yulin.

That is...

(Mr. Zhou wants the saliva for himself.)

Jiu,

go help Mr. Zhou.

Yes.

Don't come near.

I don't need your help.

I'll take Yulin back myself.

Better let me help you.

Is this the Snow-Scale Beast's saliva?

Return it.

Mr. Zhou.

Mr. Zhou.

That belongs to Yulin.

Don't give it to him.

Take Mr. Zhou away.

We'll meet at the foot of the mountain.

I'll wait there for you.

Elder Tianji.

Kid.

(Duan Jiuxiu, Elder Tianji) Sharp eyes.

You recognized me.

You were once Elder Tianji,

but now you're reduced

to following behind,

acting as a servant.

Truly tragic.

You're asking for death.

I heard that one is the weakest

among Nie Hengcheng's

four disciples.

He survived only

by flattering Nie Zhe daily.

I think

it must be you, Chen Shu.

(Chen Shu, Li Sect)

You know too much.

I think you've grown tired of living.

Who are you?

Who am I?

I'm your ancestor.

Wudu Palm.

You recognize it.

You're of the Li Sect?

As a Li Sect member,

how dare you covet the Ziwei Method,

wanting to practice it?

If Nie Zhe knew,

your bones would be gouged out,

and you'd be beheaded.

How arrogant

before death.

(His skills are so strong.)

(He should be able to escape.)

No.

I must help him.

Miss Feng.

Miss Feng.

Mr. Zhou,

how are you?

Thanks to your medicine,

I'm much better.

Thank you.

Then rest a bit.

We'll leave first.

I, as a father, have failed.

I can't take my son home

and have to leave him alone

in this snow-covered mountain.

You must protect the saliva.

It's my son's last item for me.

Mr. Zhou, young lady,

you two are here.

We've looked for a long time.

Where are they?

Your lover

stubbornly refused

to leave

and was swallowed

by the python

with Jiu.

He's dead?

The python was too fierce.

Its icy breath killed him instantly.

What a pity for the cute young man.

My condolences.

Young lady,

you still have the saliva, right?

Jiu was wrong to take it,

but this saliva is vital to our master.

Now, it's useless for you.

Why not sell it to us?

Set a price.

A thousand gold?

Miss Feng, don't listen to them.

They are bad people.

Once we restrain them,

we'll go find your companion.

Sunshine Blade...

You are Cai Zhao?

Uncle Zhou,

long time no see

since childhood.

How have you been?

Kid,

why attack me?

My aunt grew up in Peiqiong Manor

and could recognize

the Zhous' swordsmanship blindfolded.

I don't have eyes on my back,

but I saw your shadow.

Your sword

is in the Moonlight Drinking stance,

a close combat technique.

They were so far apart.

Uncle Zhou,

who exactly are you trying to kill?

Actually, I...

I felt it was strange

in the ice cave.

Seeing the corpse of your kin,

you kept digging in his hands.

You didn't come

for your son

but for the saliva.

That is Yulin's item.

Zhao, if I wanted to harm you,

why did I risk my life to protect you?

That was the reason

that I dismissed my doubts.

That's why I healed you.

Now, I see.

It was just a ruse.

Zhao,

we are both from the Six Sects.

I was friends with your aunt.

Why say this?

That's exactly why

I didn't want to believe it,

but just now,

I had no choice but to confirm.

You schemed for the saliva.

What exactly do you want with it?

Young lady, what are you doing?

I heard saliva melts in fire.

If Uncle Zhou

doesn't explain today,

I'll destroy it

to keep it from falling into evil hands.

Zhou Zhiqin, tell her!

I did it for Jianghu's safety,

bearing humiliation,

mingling with these demon sect people,

to prevent them from practicing evil arts

and endangering everyone.

Evil arts?

It's called the Ziwei Method.

This method

was powerful

and invincible.

Later, Nie Hengcheng somehow acquired

its cultivation method,

and it became the root of all disasters.

So, practicing the Ziwei Method needs the saliva.

What Ziwei Method?

I don't know.

Careful!

Did Zhou Zhiqin work with you

for the Ziwei Method?

Correct.

My master Nie Hengcheng

only reached the third layer

and was already invincible.

Mr. Zhou wants to practice it,

obviously to become the Lord of Peiqiong Manor,

so he worked with Elder Tianji and me.

Is that right,

Mr. Zhou?

Duan Jiuxiu, Elder Tianji

was already killed by my aunt.

Why is he still alive?
