Original subtitles

Adapted from the novel Zhu Xian written by Xiao Ding

The sword has fallen

the wild grasslands are dark as night

The moon idles away

The specks of obsession become great wisdom

The path is predestined

The disquiet perturbs the meridians again

How can a powerless law break the Five Aggregates and Ten Directions?

The world burns

Malevolent energy rises fanning the raging flames

One is mindful

Burn my body to ashes to extinguish this disaster

How can I choose what I cannot obtain?

Draw your sword, prepare to ask immortals

how to cultivate a heart without delusions

Why give me grief, anger me and create resentment?

Sigh at the longstanding opposition between both sides

this complicated prejudice that is hard to resolve

I am not afraid to shake the Heavens, I am willing to

Flying on the sword high in the sky

coming and going, roaring my will

I only hope that among those who worry or laugh at me, some have pity

I'll bend myself to break though this endless darkness

traverse every kind of predestined fate

Wait for me to return

like a young man again

ZHU XIAN Immortal Executioner

Episode 13

Esteemed Heavenly Fiend Wisdom King

and Underworld Holy Mother,

I, Bi Yao, a 43rd-generation sect disciple,

sincerely pay my respects to you

May you two honorable ones

show mercy towards the people,

save all living beings from suffering

and grant me good fortune

Demonic gods

"The world is impartial"

"all beings are regarded as insignificant"

What does this mean?

It's empty

This is also empty

Where did old man Hei Xin hide it?

Watch out!

The Ancient Corpse Poison again

This place is full of dark arts

What treasure is old man Hei Xin

protecting with this poison?

Hey!

What's there to be afraid of?

Small bells?

He used the very powerful Ancient Corpse Poison

to guard a pair of small bells?

It does have a nice sound

I wonder why old man Hei Xin would want to hide this

Are these

the Harmonious Reunion Bells?

These are Lady Jin Ling's Harmonious Reunion Bells

It's just a pair of ordinary small bells

Ordinary small bells?

Lady Jin Ling

is the founder of the Harmonious Reunion faction in our sect

She's extremely intelligent

and very skilled

The Harmonious Reunion Bells she

cultivated had incomparable power

They could absorb a person's soul

Heretical practices

What do you know about it?

100 years ago, so many of your people

from the righteous sects were defeated by Lady Jin Ling

But why

is the supreme treasure of the Harmonious Reunion Sect

here in the Blood Refiner Hall?

"The Golden Bell was infatuated..."

"...squandered by the devouring of blood"

Golden Bell...

Devouring of blood...

How can you still laugh when we're trapped here?

I didn't expect that Lady Jin Ling and old man Hei Xin

were actually a couple

800 years ago

What's so unusual about it?

You've to know that

the Blood Refiner Hall and Harmonious Reunion Sect

were archenemies back then

"Too late for regrets", "being together is difficult"?

Heartless person

Old man Hei Xin clearly betrayed her love in the end

He protected Lady Jin Ling's small bells so carefully

he definitely isn't that heartless and ungrateful

What can this prove?

Lady Jin Ling suffered from her obsession with him all her life

If he's so heartless,

he wouldn't have written such a painful poem

I didn't expect you to speak up for a member of our sect

What's the matter?

Underworld Ghost Fire!

Get back!

Zhang Xiao Fan

Are you all right?

I'm fine

This is...

Heavenly Codex

This is the Heavenly Codex

Heavenly Codex?

What's the Heavenly Codex?

The Heavenly Codex is our sect's classic scripture

All of our powers and skills

came from the comprehension of this Heavenly Codex

"The reason why the world can exist for a long time is"

Translator's Note: lines from chapter seven of the Dao De Jing (Tao Te Ching)

"because it does not exist for itself but operates naturally"

"thus its longevity"

"The earth encompasses all activity"

"that is the core principle of the world"

Isn't this from the Great Brahmanic Wisdom?

No

This isn't possible

Zhang Xiao Fan

"The world operates in a natural manner"

"let matters take their own course"

This is

the Absolute Profound Clarity Path?

How can this be?

How can the demon sect's Heavenly Codex

have a Buddhist power system?

Are you all right?

Is this really your demon sect's Heavenly Codex?

Of course it is

Zhang Xiao Fan

Zhang Xiao Fan!

The demon sect's Heavenly Codex

is so similar to the Daoist and Buddhist texts

How can this be?

The Sect Leader

will definitely send people

to look for Junior Brother Zhang

Don't worry too much

Focus on your recovery

Honorable Wisdom King

Holy Mother

could it be that

I will never escape this mountain cave?

If I had not eaten all of your food,

perhaps you can live for a few more days

So what if I can live for a few more days?

If we can endure for few more days,

we'll have a slight higher chance of surviving

Are you afraid of dying?

I've no relatives or attachments

Why would I be afraid?

Don't you want to return to see your Senior Sister?

Senior Sister

What are you doing?

Just kill me

You...

What did you say?

Kill me

You can eat my flesh after you kill me

and live for some time

Your demon sect is truly evil

How can you even do such a thing?

You keep talking about eliminating

demons to protect the Way

Now's your chance

What are you waiting for?

Do it now!

What are you afraid of?

The witch from the demon sect is right in front of you

Do it

Do it

Do it

Do it now!

You're completely unreasonable!

You won't kill me

Fine

I'll do it myself!

Stop!

What are you doing?

Let go!

Don't!

Let go!

Let go now!

After I die

you can live on

Let go now!

Fine

I'll give you what you want!

Do you know

what it's like waiting for death by yourself?

I was six years old that year

Mother took me to see my grandmother

I don't know how your righteous sect got word of this

Pu Fang, an evil monk from the Heavenly Sound Temple

unleashed the Buddha's Golden Alms Bowl

causing the entire Six Foxes Cave to collapse

burying me,

my mother and

my grandmother alive

My grandmother died soon after

because her injuries were too severe

I was so scared

but Mother kept telling me,

"Xiao Yao, don't be afraid"

"Your father will definitely come save us"

But Father never came

We were buried in that extremely dark cave

Only a few drops of water were dripping

from the cracks of the rocks

I was so scared

I was hungry

I nagged Mother for something to eat

Mother kept searching in the cave

but she couldn't find anything

But I was too hungry at that time

I kept making a fuss

I was the one

I was the one who killed Mother! - Don't say anymore

Then one day

Mother started bringing me

a piece of meat every once in a while

so I survived

But my mother...

My mother...

I finally heard Father calling my mother's name

Then Father jumped down

He saw my mother's body

before he saw me

But his look was so terrifying

I was young

but I knew he really wanted to kill me at that time

He wouldn't

He wanted to kill his own daughter

I deserve to die

Mother

Mother

Father

Don't indulge in foolish thoughts

Didn't your father save you?

Your father doesn't blame you

Wisdom King, Holy Mother,

I, Bi Yao, thank you for your divine grace

My emotional trouble

has finally been resolved

I am willing to serve you after I die,

Wisdom King and Holy Mother

my spirit will remain beside your figures forever

If praying to demon gods were useful,

we wouldn't have to die here

So many people in the sect want to die together with me

You don't know how to appreciate a good thing

I'm going to die

If I can be buried in Big Bamboo Peak

I'll die without any grudges

Holy Mother,

Zhang Xiao Fan does not belong to our sect

He shouldn't die for the sect

Please fulfill his wish

Let him return to Big Bamboo Peak

to...

be with the person he loves

I offer you my sincere prayer and a

drop of blood as a plea

This is...

"I will forever be in hell"

"for ten lifetimes"

"only for the sake of love"

"even if I die I have no regrets"

This is...

It's the Infatuation Spell

A female grandmaster

of my sect comprehended this incantation

from the Heavenly Codex

Only women can cultivate it

It transforms blood essence

into a fierce spell

Its formidable power is incomparable

Take out your small bells

So this is actually the contraption for the exit

Watch out!

This place is about to collapse

Let's go!

Let's go! What are you waiting for?!

Hurry!

We finally

got out

I'll sprinkle some of my secret condiments

All right

Have this

Take it

Why are you so clumsy like me?

I'll cool it for you

Eat this

Does it taste that terrible?

This is the most delicious thing

I've ever eaten in my life

The cold moonlight is dim

The decade-long search turned up empty

The slanted rain falls at speed

disheveling the gray hairs again

Midnight on a cold night

the winds and snow are severe

Where comes the sound of misery?

The heavy heart is audible

The cloud of dreams is empty

A rare, lonely soul

picks up a cold lamp

with dreams never realized

The young man with willful energy

relies on Heaven miles away to grasp the sword

Cut through a line of treasures

with the edge of the blade beaming

Words can't express the constant feeling of regret

Back then, I searched for this common dream that's

difficult to return to now

Affection can't be forgotten

life and death are indefinite

The trials and hardships are endless

No words for this anxiety

No sleep on this lonely pillow

No satisfying this sorrow

The affairs of the world

are difficult to regulate

The moon's absence tonight

is difficult to fill

Know that the road is very long

it's hard for astray, old dreams to come back

So many secret grudges

who can console me?

The pain of separation is depressing

Only your reflection is in a mess

heartbroken again

The young man with willful energy

relies on Heaven miles away to grasp the sword

Cut through a line of treasures

with the edge of the blade beaming

Words can't express the constant feeling of regret

Back then, I searched for this common dream that's

difficult to return to now

Affection can't be forgotten

life and death are indefinite

The azure clouds remain as before

Where is the young man heading to?

Where is the young man heading to?
