Father,

why have you come out?

Father.

Song Shijun,

I want you to pay with blood!

Song Shijun killed the witness.

Seize the murderer.

What should we do, Zhao?

Should we go find Master?

Calm down.

Everyone, calm down.

There's no time. Save him first.

Take him and go.

Yang Heying, you useless fool.

Last year, I beat you.

You still haven't improved.

Cai Zhao, you wretched girl.

You're a traitor like Song Shijun,

colluding with the demonic sect.

Go help Yuzhi.

Sure.

Xingjia,

did you bring the duck feed?

I did.

Chase them.

How is he?

Yuzhi was poisoned with purple vine poison.

I heard Uncle Lei mention it.

This poison is unique to the Blood Marsh Forest.

It seals the meridians.

Within two days,

the victim will die.

Is there an antidote?

Guangtian Sect should have it.

Let's go back.

We can't.

We'll only die faster.

This whole matter has been strange.

The people who refined corpse slaves

should have been killed by Mu Qingyan.

Lord Song would never harbor

ambitions to dominate the Six Sects.

If Yang Heying truly wanted justice,

why didn't he wait for Master?

Instead, he launched a sudden attack.

Clearly, it was to seize the chance.

What exactly does he want?

Lord Song's condition

shows he was being controlled.

Also, Uncle Song

looked fair,

but he kept siding with Yang Heying.

If we return to Guangtian Sect now,

it would be walking into a trap.

So, what should we do?

All things counter each other.

Just like the Shanci Mushrooms.

There may be an antidote in Blood Marsh Forest.

But that place is full of monsters.

They even eat people.

Hurry.

They can't have gone far.

Search!

To save Yuzhi,

even a dragon's lair must be entered.

They went toward Blood Marsh Forest?

Send people to pursue them.

Was Song Shijun captured?

Pang Xiong fought fiercely

and broke through the blockade.

The disciples outside tried to surround them again,

but unexpectedly,

Lord Cai, Lady Ning,

and Mr. Dai suddenly arrived

and rescued Lord Song.

Why did Cai Pingchun come?

Song Shijun has lost his mind.

He can't say anything now.

Xiaofeng,

how is he?

Someone injected inner power into his meridians.

It resembles the Puppet Gu,

but it's formed from inner power.

It can't be expelled.

If this continues,

Song Shijun may become a living corpse.

Is there any way to cure it?

He must return to Luoying Valley

and slowly dissolve it with herbs.

But we haven't found Zhao.

Lord Cai.

Uncle.

Lord Cai.

Uncle Pang suffered serious injuries.

We've applied medicine to him.

He's no longer in danger.

Good.

By the way,

have you contacted your father?

Father has received the news.

He'll arrive in two days.

Darn it.

The Guangtian disciples sent the wrong message.

It made us run to such a distant place for nothing.

They

must have deliberately lured us away.

They?

Uncle.

Uncle.

His meridians are in chaos.

He must return to the valley.

With Zhao's cultivation,

she should be able to protect herself.

Besides,

Qi will arrive soon as well.

Listen.

Saving lives is urgent.

We can only do it this way.

(Blood Marsh Forest)

Ahead is Blood Marsh Forest.

The Curved Formation of Siqi Sect.

There's a maze formation.

You can't get in.

How do you know?

We tried several times

and almost died inside.

Talkative.

Let's go.

Zhao,

they are also going to the forest.

Since it's dangerous,

it's better to have more people than fewer.

Yuzhi can't wait any longer.

If we want to save his life,

we have to follow them in.

Zhao.

In urgent times, we must adapt.

This is the only way for now.

Young Master,

before it gets dark,

should we go further in?

I'm tired.

Let's rest here for today.

Young Master,

Miss Cai is behind us.

Zhao,

should we rest here for the night

and set out at dawn?

I'm afraid Yuzhi won't wait.

It's almost dark.

The forest is dangerous by day.

Going at night

would be a death sentence.

Let's wait until morning.

Young Master,

I'll gather some firewood

and make a fire.

I'll find

some food.

The poison spreads too fast on the way.

We need some medicine to suppress it.

But all my medicine fell at Guangtian Sect.

Zhao,

what should we do?

Master You,

did you bring some antidotes?

We are people of the demonic sect.

Even if we have medicine,

we dare not give it to you.

If you were whipped again,

we couldn't bear it.

Does that make sense?

Miss Cai,

I know some methods to drive out poison.

But...

Talkative.

Go if you want.

Miss Cai, take this,

and help me roast it.

The corpse slaves at Guangtian Sect

were not made by me.

I know.

Apply it externally.

It should be fine by tomorrow night.

The Six Sects appreciate it.

I'll remember this favor.

Mr. Song has done us a kindness.

This is something we owe him.

Zhao,

look at this wound.

From the wound,

the attacker's skill is not very great,

but they are very familiar with Yuzhi.

They must have observed from the side,

predicted

Yuzhi's next move,

and fired a hidden weapon.

The only person capable of this

is...

Xingjia,

you must take care of Yuzhi.

I'll bring back the antidote

before sunset.

Okay.

Zhao,

be careful.

Too many people are of no use.

If I haven't returned

by sunset,

burn this forest.

Yes.

This is the Blood Marsh Forest.

Stop.

These vines have traps.

There is a maze here.

If the golden thread runs out

and we haven't gotten out,

we'll have to return the same way.

Follow me.

We are back at the starting point.

The last bundle of thread is almost gone.

Let's go back.

Zhao!

Thank you.

Does it hurt?

Not really.

I forgot long ago.

♪In days gone by♪

♪Willows swayed gently♪

♪I first saw you in the dimness♪

♪Amid the vast crowd♪

♪A fleeting glance♪

♪And then♪

♪Love consumed me♪

♪Now I think of you♪

It's more dangerous inside.

You go back first.

I'll go alone.

No.

♪Scattered petals♪

♪Cover the ground♪

For Song Yuzhi,

you'd risk yourself like this?

♪Golden wind brushes the jade dew♪

Don't worry.

I'll bring back the antidote.

Do you know the way?

♪Such should be our meeting♪

♪Across the Magpie Bridge♪

♪Alas, peach blossoms have fallen♪

♪Tears are like pearls♪

When the fog cleared just now,

I realized the terrain is very similar

to Mu Donglie's underground palace.

It confirmed my guess.

It's also the formation of Luoying Valley?

Yes and no.

To be precise, it's our ancient formation.

It has been changed many times,

but I heard my aunt mention it.

Did Ms. Cai mention

a way to break the formation?

She didn't,

but I know the principles

of the formation's changes.

If I'm right,

we are now here.

Gen three,

Dui four,

Kan minus two.

Follow me.

Yuzhi.

It's them.

Yuzhi,

they mean no harm.

Where is Zhao?

Zhao went

to the forest with Mu Qingyan

to find the antidote for you.

Trying to trick Zhao again.

Yuzhi.

Yuzhi,

saving your life is the priority.

As for Mu Qingyan,

Zhao is clever enough

not to be fooled.

It shouldn't be.

Why is this a dead end?

The path is correct.

I observed the terrain from above on the Golden Peng.

To find the blood purple vine,

we must pass through this forest.

The fog is poisonous.

Time is short.

I'll clear the way for you.

Mu Qingyan!

Mu Qingyan!

Mu Qingyan!

Are you alright?

Don't worry about me.

- Hurry inside. - No.

Someone's coming.

(Granny Jiang)

Zhengyang?

Pingshu?

I've gone senile.

You two are their children, right?

Granny,

you've met them?

Come.

Thank you, Granny Jiang.

You're affected by the maze's poison.

Drink this licorice decoction for two days;

the poison will naturally clear.

I've already sent someone

to fetch your friends.

They should arrive before nightfall.

His purple vine poison

can only be treated with our Night Orchid.

You siblings

really take after your parents.

Granny Jiang,

we are not siblings.

The Pingshu you mentioned

is my aunt.

Master Zhengyang is his uncle.

Then,

did they eventually marry?

They did,

but they have both passed away.

What a pity.

They were so young.

Granny Jiang,

how did my aunt

and her uncle get in?

They suddenly broke in.

We were all shocked

and thought the maze had failed.

They said Master Zhengyang's friend had also been poisoned

and needed the Night Orchid for the remedy.

We naturally agreed.

After taking a few branches, they left.

Granny Jiang,

can we go see

the Night Orchid?

Yes, but don't get too close.

Why?

Pingshu said

this must not be shown to others.

Getting too close is dangerous.

Didn't she also come for the Night Orchid?

Why would she say that?

She said this on her second visit.

After leaving with Master Zhengyang,

a year and a half later,

she returned and asked

if Master Zhengyang had come back too.

I said yes.

Shortly before her return,

Master Zhengyang had taken a few more branches,

and Pingshu cried.

She cried so sorrowfully.

Why did my aunt cry?

She wouldn't say.

She just reminded us to watch over the Night Orchid.

Before leaving, she set up a formation

to keep people away.

Why did Master Zhengyang

come twice

instead of taking more

at once?

The Night Orchid is very delicate.

Once removed from the forest,

it will wither like firewood in six months,

losing all medicinal properties.

Our great benefactor

transplanted it more than 50 times

to save a few plants.

Your great benefactor?

That was Cai Anning.

Cai Anning?

She was our third demoness...

our heroine.

When I was a child,

my mother said

she was predicted at birth

not to live past three.

After surviving three,

it was said she wouldn't reach adulthood.

So, she sought

all kinds of rare herbs

in the world,

even stealing seeds

from the Li sect.

She was later pursued by the sect.

Our great benefactor said

she was chased here by the demonic sect.

Hundreds of years ago, the world was in chaos.

We had fled here

to escape the war.

We thought

(Cai Anning) the vines

Are you okay?

(Young Jiang) were a shield.

I'm fine.

But the vine's essence

entered our blood

and was hereditary.

Not only were adults short-lived,

but children were weak and bent.

You have poison in your body.

After learning about our village's plight,

the benefactor decided to stay

and use the seeds she brought

to develop a remedy.

What is this?

This is the Night Orchid.

We plant it together.

Perhaps it will cure your poison.

The Night Orchid indeed neutralized

the vine poison in our bodies.

Unfortunately,

the good times didn't last.

Rumors claimed our benefactor

had stolen the demonic sect's treasure

- and hid it here. - Demoness!

- Many wanted to break in. - Hand over

the treasure...

Hand it over...

They blamed all grievances on her.

She didn't defend herself

but instructed us to set up the fog and maze,

sealed the Blood Marsh,

and spread fearsome rumors

to keep outsiders away.

Soon after,

our benefactor passed away.

If you hadn't come here,

you wouldn't have suffered such slander.

I don't regret it.

Saving so many people

was worth it.

Following her wishes,

we scattered her ashes.

Whenever we want to remember her,

we come and see these Night Orchids.

All of this was caused by the greed of others.

Why blame her

and call her a demoness?

It's true.

It's a pity we can't leave the marsh

and clear her name.

Enough talking.

Your friends should be here.

I'll go check.

The Night Orchid here,

the Withered Branch of Qingque Sect,

and the Beichen Orchid of Carefree Chamber

come from the same ancestral seed.

I wonder if Qingque Sect's Withered Branch

has bloomed.

They have,

but my master used them to heal me.

My master has no interest in them.

But why are you

so concerned about the Night Orchid?

What is its true use?

Why did Mu Zhengyang want it?

What?

Zhao and Yuzhi were captured by the demonic sect?

That day, the Huangsha Gang lost control.

Zhao and Yuzhi left with Father.

Soon after, news came

that the demonic sect had arrived

and taken Zhao and others.

It must be Mu Qingyan again.

Father,

have you found any evidence

linking the corpse slaves to the demonic sect?

Lord Qi,

is my father alright?

Your father is in Luoying Valley.

Lord Cai is doing his best to treat him.

There is no threat to his life.

That's a relief.

That's a relief.

Thankfully, you're fine.

Yuzhi's life is safe too.

Zhao,

did Mu Qingyan give you a hard time?

Why would he trouble me?

Before, we stayed with them because of Yuzhi.

Now that we've found the antidote,

let's leave once Yuzhi wakes up.

We mustn't get involved with them again.

What if Master finds out

and locks you up for another year?

We should leave.

But something still feels off to me.

Xingjia,

watch Yuzhi.

I'll go check outside.

You're indeed here to take the Night Orchid.

Stop dreaming.

It's protected by a formation.

Only people from Luoying Valley

know how to break it.

The Night Orchid, like the saliva,

is a medium for cultivating the Ziwei Method,

right?

From the saliva

to the Jade Sunflower

and now the Night Orchid,

it's all tied to the Ziwei Method.

Mu Zhengyang used the excuse of helping a friend

to trick my aunt

into getting the saliva

and collecting the Night Orchid.

That's why my aunt was so upset

on her second visit.

She had learned the truth

and knew Mu Zhengyang

was using her to cultivate the Ziwei Method.

But if Mu Zhengyang has taken the Night Orchid,

why come a second time?

That's because the first time he took it

wasn't for his own cultivation.

It was offered to Nie Hengcheng.

I just realized this.

Mu Zhengyang told Xue Youfu

he wanted to reclaim the family estate,

but he couldn't defeat Nie Hengcheng.

So, there was only one way:

Use a peerless technique

to lure Nie Hengcheng.

Mu Zhengyang must've found the Ziwei Method

at the Jiuzhou Archive

and used it to entice Nie Hengcheng to practice it,

even deceiving my aunt to get

the Night Orchid and saliva.

But I can't understand

what method he used

to change Nie Hengcheng's temperament,

forcing all the Jianghu heroes

to unite against him.

As for the second trip,

that's because Mu Zhengyang

began practicing the Ziwei Method,

just like you.

Master was right.

All the men in the Mu clan

are skin-painted demons.

I'm not Mu Zhengyang.

I'll never become Nie Hengcheng.

I'll never let you take the Night Orchid.

As I said,

if you insist,

I'll make you a ghost beneath my blade.

Zhao,

you can't stop me.

I heard that over the past year,

Song Yuzhi has been taking care of you.

None of your business.

Your blade is nothing special.

You haven't improved.

Take this.

You still can't forget old feelings.

I like that about you.

You can't forget me,

and you can't bear to kill me.

Madman.

Mr. Mu,

are you okay?

Zhao,

did you quarrel?

I've seen it all.

Pingshu also had quarrels

with Master Zhengyang,

just like you two.

They quarreled?

What was it about?

Young couples argue.

It's always about who likes whom

and who doesn't.

But he was willing

to risk his life for you,

breaking through the fog and maze.

That shows you mean more

to him than himself.

It's you again.

Do you have anything to do

with the corpse slaves?

Hold it.

Stop making baseless accusations.

It was your family who did it.

Why blame us?

My father was framed.

Mr. Song,

didn't Fan tell you

how you were poisoned?

Yuzhi,

we didn't have time to tell you.

The poisoned weapon that hit you

was likely used by someone familiar with your skills

and someone you didn't suspect.

From the circumstances,

it was most likely...

Who?

Tell me.

Xiuzhi.

My brother?

It can't be him.

He's not that kind of man.

He's always gentle and peaceful,

never aggressive.

How could he do such a thing?

Is it hard to understand?

Everyone knows Lord Song favors you.

You are Qi Yunke's disciple

and Yin Qinglian's son,

grandson of Yin Dai.

In the future, Guangtian Sect

and Qingque Sect will be yours.

Now, look at your brother.

His skills are inferior to yours; his status is lower.

He doesn't even know who his mother is.

If he didn't remove you,

when would he ever get ahead?

Mr. Song,

as I've told you before,

the Six Sects are no good either.

That day outside,

Siqi Sect even used the Curved Formation.

Yang Heying is likely in cahoots with your brother.

By the way,

I heard

Yang Heying's daughter

is marrying your brother.

Truly, a loving family.

Are you thirsty?

Drink some water.

Wait.

I'll investigate

the truth.

The corpse slaves may have nothing to do with you,

but your appearing nearby

is too much of a coincidence.

What are your intentions?

Our trip has nothing to do with the Six Sects.

Mr. Mu,

long time no see.

Last time, it was the pity ploy.

I wonder what strategy you have this time.

You've become fond of joking.

Have you read too many novels?

Yuzhi,

do me a favor.

I'll go too.

We should leave here asap.

It's pounding

in my little chest.

Tonight, we return to Guangtian Sect.

I must ask Xiuzhi for the truth.

I wonder how Father is doing.

Lord Song looks with longevity.

He'll be fine.

As for your brother,

it has happened.

Better accept it.

At least we've seen his true face.

I was wrong too.

Knowing he's belittled by the sect

due to his birth,

I didn't step in to help.

Even so,

he shouldn't commit such atrocities

and harm others.

If he

really colluded with Yang Heying

to kill the Huangsha Gang and innocents,

I'll never let him off.

You're sensible.

Master should be at Guangtian Sect.

Then,

right and wrong

will be decided.

Before that,

I want Xingjia to do me a favor.

A favor?
