=Episode 9=

Tomorrow morning,

go back to Qingque Sect on your own.

What about you?

You already figured out how to break this.

Guangtian Sect and Lord Song will support you.

I'm guessing

you've already got a plan in mind.

Yeah, I have.

Zhao,

what do you mean?

Yin Dai imprisoned Elder Kaiyang

to get the Ziwei Method.

When you read Yin Dai's handbook,

you already saw it

in its hidden layer,

right?

The fire's dying down. I'll go get some more.

I'll do it.

(Ziwei Method)

What did you see?

That's why you're looking

for Yin Dai's handbook, right?

Back in the Library dungeon,

Qian Xueshen said that the antidote was the saliva.

Saliva of the Snow-Scale Beast.

Where is it?

In the snow mountains in the Freezing Area.

From that moment,

you already had a plan

to look for the saliva.

The handbook must contain records

that the saliva is one of the key media

for cultivating the Ziwei Method.

You waited for me

and chased me all the way to the snow mountains

just to use me to find the saliva.

You deliberately got close to me

and helped me every step of the way,

all for the Ziwei Method.

That's right.

I went to Qingque Sect for the Ziwei Method.

But since you already suspected me,

why did you still let me go to the snow mountains with you?

That's because...

Because you clung to me.

With your intelligence and sharpness,

if you wanted to shake me off,

wouldn't that have been easy?

You already guessed

that some of the companions were from the demonic sect.

You knew this journey was dangerous,

so you wanted me to protect you

and help you find the saliva asap.

That way,

you were using me too.

There's no difference between us.

You know the consequences of Nie Hengcheng

cultivating the Ziwei Method.

If you'll become a second Nie Hengcheng,

I might as well...

What?

Kill me?

I might as well lock you up right now

to avoid future trouble.

Zhao,

I will never

let anyone lock me up again.

Perhaps it won't be long

before I put your mind at ease.

Mu Qingyan?

The saliva hasn't decreased.

Mu Qingyan?

Miss, you're awake.

Come.

Come eat some wonton.

He knocked me out

and just gave me a bowl of wonton?

Uncle Cheng, where is he?

The Young Master said

you were exhausted from traveling

and should sleep soundly

before you return to Qingque Sect.

He went back for revenge?

The Young Master said

the debts of the Mu clan across three generations

should be settled with Nie.

I knew it.

With his temperament,

he was bound to reclaim the Chief position.

If he didn't want the saliva,

why did he go to the snow mountains with me?

He even risked his life.

He said

he couldn't let you be alone there,

without anyone to rely on.

He couldn't let you gamble your life alone.

You took care of the Young Master

for many days at Qingque Sect.

He made the wonton before he left,

served with ginseng chicken soup.

Eat them while they're hot.

Uncle Cheng,

why is there no scallion?

Thank you.

You complain for three days

just because a wonton has no scallions.

Someone so attached to worldly pleasures

could hardly last three days

on this cold, silent snow peak.

And you want to live here long-term?

Uncle Cheng,

if someone...

I mean, a friend of mine.

If she doesn't get wonton with scallions,

she'll be angry for days.

Does that count as petty?

By common sense,

that would indeed be petty.

The Young Master

ordered me to give this token

to you.

(Aide) Aide of Bliss Palace?

Against the Demonic Camp,

this item may be of help.

Miss,

be extra careful.

(Aide)

It's too hot!

Sorry, sorry.

Sorry to disturb you.

(Aide)

Mocking me before leaving?

You're the petty one.

Your whole family is petty.

News from the mountain foot:

Reinforcements from Xuankong Nunnery and Peiqiong Manor

were blocked halfway.

The demonic sect prepared in advance.

If we just wait here,

that won't solve anything.

It's been 15 days.

I don't know

how Zhao is doing now.

Fengchi,

you brought all the juniors here.

What advice do you have?

Lord Song.

May I ask

how much longer Guangtian Sect

will be guarding Qingque Sect?

Uncle,

I know you want to protect us,

but it's already been half a month.

We're confined to the Disciples' Dorm every day.

Even my mother's guards were ordered back when they tried

to go buy necessities.

Uncle,

you don't even trust us?

It's not that.

I think

they want to take over Qingque Sect.

Fengchi.

The Qingque Sect

is not in chaos yet.

If so,

why are we being confined here,

letting Guangtian Sect overstep its bounds?

Yuzhi,

are you pretending not to know,

or are you secretly pleased,

hoping your father

could become the Lord?

Nonsense.

Lord Song,

why get mad when I'm telling the truth?

Even if there truly were a Body Shift,

interrogating everyone one by one

for half a month would reveal the traitor.

But what about now?

You sit still and do nothing,

letting Guangtian Sect make the decisions.

What is your intention?

Dai,

if not for the brotherhood

I shared with your late father,

I'd kill you for your master

just for slandering fellow disciples

and spreading alarm.

Father.

Fengchi,

my family harbors no ulterior motives.

Once this matter is resolved,

Guangtian Sect will withdraw.

If you are still uneasy,

I will also leave the sect.

Yuzhi,

that's not what I meant.

You know Master values you,

and Lingbo depends on you.

Why put on such a show?

Foolish.

I act openly and uprightly.

I won't stoop to argue with an ignorant brat like you.

Fine.

Let me tell you.

The reason you're not allowed to leave

is that I don't want outsiders to know

that your master, the Lord of the top set,

was swapped by demonic sect scum.

If this leaks out,

how will the Six Sects

ever hold their heads up in Jianghu again?

Uncle,

it's impossible to swap an elite like my father.

Lord Song

is merely taking advantage of us

to reap the benefits.

Enough.

Yuzhi is still recovering.

What are you doing here?

All of you, go back.

Yes, Lady Yin.

Shijun,

the juniors were reckless.

Please don't take it to heart.

With troubles both within and without,

we trouble you

to help manage sect affairs.

But may I ask

what your plans are next?

Zhao has gone to find the antidote.

Let's wait for her return.

Uncle,

you trust her that much?

Reinforcements are blocked.

Master's identity is uncertain.

Right now, we can only wait for Zhao.

You really think Cai Zhao can find the antidote?

Maybe by now

she's already run off

with that mysterious Chang Ning.

Shijun,

Cai Zhao is just a junior.

We can't rely solely on her.

Zhao...

Zhao!

Zhao...

Lady Yin.

Speak.

We received a pigeon message.

Zhao has found

the antidote and returned.

She's arrived in Qingque Town.

- Xingjia. - Zhao.

How is the situation

on the mountain now?

Thousandfold Cliff is currently guarded

by Guangtian Sect and Uncle Li.

Other than me purchasing supplies by order,

no one is allowed in or out.

The demonic sect

doesn't know the situation on the mountain,

so they don't dare act rashly.

I secretly investigated for days.

At least over 100 members

of the Demonic Camp are hiding in the town.

Their leader is a mysterious, cloaked figure.

His face can't be seen.

I don't know if he is their leader, Lu Chengnan.

Yuzhi feared for your safety,

so he asked me to wait here for you.

Dissolve this bottle of saliva in water,

and it will undo the Body Shift.

Is this enough?

Yes.

Okay, I'll head back.

Wait.

Once the demonic sect knows the Body Shift has been exposed,

Master will lose his value.

Maybe

his life will be in danger.

Then what should we do?

Give this saliva to Yuzhi.

Expose the impostor on the mountain first.

I have my own way to find master.

What way?

Just trust me.

Be careful.

The Lord is still in seclusion.

He won't see anyone.

Weren't you told not to come?

I am you're wife.

I'm going in.

Who dares stop me?

Not letting you come is for your own good.

Right now,

this is a time of turmoil.

You should rest in Double Lotus Palace.

Don't come out again.

You're always like this.

Whenever something happens, you make me hide away.

It makes me look utterly useless.

That's not what I mean.

I know you want to protect me,

but I'm your wife.

We share honor

and disgrace alike.

When trouble comes, we should face it together.

How can I always rely on you?

At this critical moment,

with the demonic sect watching from outside

and villains sowing suspicion within,

nothing can happen to you.

I heard your poison injury has relapsed.

Even Xiuming's medicine

has been ineffective.

What's in this box

was gifted by an old friend.

I preserved it in cold ice for years.

I didn't even take it out

when Yuzhi was injured.

Back then, this old friend

traveled through beaches and ravines,

deep into deserts and miasma forests,

risking countless dangers,

just to refine

one Clearing Pill.

It's said this medicine

can warm sinews and activate meridians

and enhance cultivation.

It's truly rare in the world.

Yunke,

this medicine will surely help you

recover completely.

Take it now.

Dear,

I just took another pill.

I'll take this

later.

Yunke.

I'm willing

to weather storms with you.

Will you trust me?

Yes.

I trust you.

Hurry.

Zhuang.

What's wrong?

Dalou.

Dalou.

Master.

Where is Master?

Dalou.

Dalou.

Sorry, we're closed for the day.

(Aide)

The aide token.

Greetings, Aide.

News from Thousandfold Cliff has been sealed.

The Chief fears something wrong

and ordered me to escort the hostages

to Hanhai Mountains

for disposal by Bliss Palace.

But the strategist ordered

that no one may approach the hostages.

By the Chief's order,

you dare disobey?

We wouldn't dare.

But we still need to report to the strategist.

You're putting the strategist before the Chief?

Are you plotting rebellion?

- Of course not. - Of course not.

Lead the way at once.

- Yes. - Yes.

This way, please.

Which one?

Leave me.

Didn't you hear me?

- Yes. - Yes.

Master.

Master?

Qinong.

What are you doing here, instead of watching

Chen Shu find the saliva?

I'm acting on the Chief's orders

to take your life.

Master.

Don't pursue.

Let's go back now.

(Righteous Spirit) Shijun,

what do you mean by this?

You're a fake lord.

Who exactly are you?

Hurry up and reveal your true form.

We can talk things out.

Shijun,

what nonsense are you spouting?

Don't let the demonic sect deceive you

and damage the friendship between the two sects.

Then we'll strip off your fake skin.

Master.

The real one has returned.

You counterfeit

should stop resisting stubbornly.

Zhao,

did you take Qian Xueshen away

just to fabricate a fake master?

How shameless.

Your talent for turning the tables

is even better than a storyteller's.

To tell who's the real one,

you can both drink

the antidote.

This isn't an antidote

but poison.

Dodging the issue

only raises more suspicion.

Please, you two,

drink it together.

Wenxun,

you don't even trust me now?

Back then in the great war,

who carried you

out of a pile of corpses?

This farce

has gone on long enough.

If you truly think I'm fake,

invite the heads of the Six Sects

and all righteous figures of Jianghu

to Qingque Sect.

When that time comes,

right and wrong

will judge themselves.

Qiu,

this Clearing Pill

will surely help you recover.

Hurry and take it.

Long time no see.

I hope you've been well.

(Qiu Renjie, Qingque Sect)

Qiu?

Qiu Renjie?

You guessed it was me.

Thank you for gifting me the Clearing Pill.

(Young Yin Sulian, Qingque Sect)

(Young Qiu Renjie, Qingque Sect)

This is the Clearing Pill.

It replenishes marrow and boosts cultivation.

When you practice,

you'll make advancements more easily.

Qiu,

you're so kind.

You neither ate nor drank.

If I didn't resort to this method,

how could I expose your true face?

You still chose him.

Qiu,

you disappeared for many years.

We all thought you were dead.

Since you're alive,

why didn't you return?

Why collude with the demonic sect

and commit such fratricidal acts?

Fratricidal?

Qi Yunke,

you stole my position and took my fiancée.

Whose brother would be like that?

Qiu,

if you're resentful about losing to me,

I'm willing to compete with you again.

You really are the one that Yin Dai favored.

What a hypocrite.

Qiu,

that's water under the bridge.

Why cling to the past

and slander Lord Yin Dai?

Slander him?

Everything I am today

is entirely thanks to him.

I lost back then; so be it.

I could have left.

But Yin deliberately sent me

to Youming Path to gather intel.

I was ambushed by the demonic sect and almost died.

The fellow disciples who promised to meet me

never showed up.

Yin feared I wouldn't submit

and wanted to use the demonic sect to get rid of me

to clear the way

for his son-in-law and for himself.

You're just smearing my grandfather.

Do you have any proof?

Proof?

If your grandfather were truly upright and selfless,

why did he steal Cai Pingshu's credit?

What do you mean?

What credit did he steal?

In the Battle of Mount Tu,

Cai Pingshu killed Nie Hengcheng.

Yet Yin Dai held a victory banquet

and claimed the merit for himself.

It was my aunt who killed Nie Hengcheng.

How did it become his doing?

That's right.

Everyone knew about the battle

between them.

That was later talk.

At the banquet back then,

it was Yang Yi, the Lord of Siqi Sect,

your grandfather,

who said it was Lord Yin Dai's merit.

Lord Yin Dai casually accepted it.

After that, everyone said

that Lord Yin Dai killed Nie Hengcheng.

But he didn't benefit for long.

Just a few months later,

Lord Yin Dai

was ambushed by Zhao Tianba,

Nie Hengcheng's first disciple,

and hacked to death.

And then?

Yin Qinglian feared being implicated.

To protect Yin Dai's grandchild,

her own son,

she diverted the calamity elsewhere

and leaked the news that Cai Pingshu killed Nie Hengcheng

to the demonic sect.

No wonder they attacked Luoying Valley.

If not for Uncle Chang and Master

eliminating Zhao Tianba...

Luoying Valley would've been wiped out.

Afterward,

Yin Qinglian shamelessly claimed

that Lord Yin Dai only reluctantly accepted

to protect Luoying Valley.

That even earned Yin

the title of the Pillar of Righteousness.

Lady Qinglian

really had a sharp mind.

Today,

I will let these juniors

and the entire world know

the true face of Yin

and see

these hypocrites and frauds.

Qiu.

Please stop talking.

Even if Lord Yin Dai wronged you,

you colluded with the demonic sect

and harmed your fellow sect members.

Is that really not wrong?

I know my sins are grave.

When I was on the brink of death,

it was Nie Zhe who saved me.

A man lives for those who know him.

Even if I submit to the demonic sect,

so what?

(Righteous Spirit)

That's still better

than being deceived

and used.

Qiu,

I know you were misled by villains

and have your hardships.

Confess the demonic sect's later schemes

and make amends.

I can let bygones be bygones.

I can afford

to lose.

He'll kill himself!

(Righteous Spirit)

Mother!

Mother.

Mother!

Mother.

(Pillar of Righteousness)

(Pillar of Righteousness)

(Pillar of Righteousness)

I noticed long ago.

Gilded gold is the weakest.

Zhao,

the Yins

owe Luoying Valley an apology.

You're different

from them.

When I was young, my aptitude was poor.

I could never break through.

Back then, this old friend traveled through beaches and ravines,

deep into deserts and miasma forests,

risking countless dangers,

just to refine one Clearing Pill.

Your old friend

was truly thoughtful.

(The turmoil within Qingque has been settled.)

(Miss Cai is unharmed.)

Young Master,

they're here.

(Carefree) Welcome back, Young Master.

I've waited anxiously for over a year;

at last, today has come.

(Carefree) Over a year ago,

Elder Tianquan Qiu Baigang aided my uprising, which failed.

Almost no one from Elder Qiu's line survived.

I did not summon you before

because I could barely protect myself

and didn't want you to die with me.

Now that you've answered the call,

you surely know

what I intend to do.

Nie Hengcheng and his followers usurped power for three generations.

Their influence runs deep and tangled.

Killing one or two would never turn the tide.

So,

this journey will surely be full

of blood and corpses.

Rest assured.

Though the poison of the Sevens Pill is fierce,

as long as you

are loyal to the Young Master,

the antidote will be delivered on time.

(Carefree)

We swear to follow the Young Master.

We swear to follow the Young Master.

We swear to follow the Young Master.

Pledge loyalty to the Mu clan.

Unify Jianghu.

Pledge loyalty to the Mu clan.

Unify Jianghu.

Pledge loyalty to the Mu clan.

Unify Jianghu.

Pledge loyalty to the Mu clan.

Unify Jianghu.
