ZHU XIAN Immortal Executioner

Episode 32

We were in a hurry when we came

so I didn't notice that the scenery around here is actually not bad

What is so scenic about a patch of weeds?

It is not like they are made of gold

Grandfather

Why do you only think about money?

And to think that your name has the character "Immortal" in it

You're so uncouth

How dare you call me uncouth?!

I am a higher being, detached from the mundane world, who enlightens all living beings

but without these uncouth things

I...

Grandfather

Look

Why is that guy following us?

Who am I supposed to ask if you have to ask me?

Could it be that he has lustful thoughts

and wants to be indecent to you?

Grandfather

How can you even say something like that?

He is a member of the demon sect

Although fellow Daoist Ye Gou doesn't have a good reputation

I've never heard of him harming a woman

This guy cannot be thinking of robbing a pauper like me, right?

Grandfather

You are probably richer than a pauper

Keep your voice down

Oh no

He is not going to attack, is he?

Grandfather

Forget about using this remarkable skill

Although this is an evasion technique passed down from your ancestors

you can't control the exit destination

If we happen to end up in the Dead Marshes

we'll really be finished

Well... well...

We won't be that unlucky, right?

Do you think your luck is good or bad?

Bad

That settles it then

I have an artifact that Sister Ping'er gave me

So dealing with him won't be difficult

That makes sense

We have run into so many experts recently

that I am even overestimating him now

But fellow Daoist Ye Gou doesn't seem like a bad person

Didn't he lend us an umbrella back then?

What do you mean by "us"?

He lent it to you!

I was completely drenched

You are really unfilial, you little girl

I wanted to shade you as well

but you didn't want it

Anyway, you are talking back now and making me angry

Grandfather, let me carry your luggage

Do not use that trick on me

Recently, we've been braving the harsh wilderness

Once we reach town

I'll treat you to a good meal

That is more like it

But we'll be using your money to pay

Money?

I do not have any money

Grandfather, you're the best

Did these Fish Men

also come for the rare treasure?

There are many poisonous insects here

Relying on the firelight alone is not enough to defend against them

With this Prajñā Heart Sphere

we need not worry about ordinary poisons

Senior Brother Fa Xiang, you have great power

I am impressed

Junior Brother Lin

Why aren't you resting yet?

Aren't you not asleep as well?

For monks

sitting in meditation and chanting mantras is how we rest

For these ten years

I have rarely been able to sleep

Why?

As long as I close my eyes

I'll see my parents and the villagers die tragic deaths despite being innocent

as well as

Xiao Fan

Do you still think about Junior Brother Zhang?

He joined the demon sect

He now has a high position as the Vice Sect Leader

It is known to all that

sooner or later, he will become the next Ghost King

Over the years

he has killed countless people and grown bloodthirsty by nature

Even those in the demon sect fear him

The righteous sects of the world consider him a serious danger

Enough!

If you were to meet him one day

how will you deal with him?

He is my brother

I know he has now fallen into the demonic path

and can no longer turn back

But even if the righteous and demon sects can't coexist

and we eventually have to fight

in my heart

I still consider him my brother

He is the only brother I have

in this life

Someone has been here

These poisonous insects travel in an orderly manner

They must be controlled by someone

These tracks...

Were they left behind by the giant creature in the miasma yesterday?

Someone fought here

The Buddhist Demon-slaying Roar

A fellow cultivator from the Heavenly Sound Temple

Listen

Senior Brother Li Xun

They're catching up

Where did this huge number of giant ants come from?

The fiends from the demon sect are only capable of tricks

Are these giant ants being controlled by a fiend from the demon sect?

Yes

After I got separated from all of you

I encountered a man nearby

who directed these barbaric creatures to attack me from all sides

This noble warrior of the righteous sect presented his case really well

but I remember that you attacked me first

Since you are a fiend from the demon sect

I must eliminate you to protect the Way, of course!

What kind of hero are you

to be hiding in the dark!

You noble warriors of the righteous sects are the ones who like to play hero

That is not what I do

Despite his young age

he can control so many poisonous insects

Are you Qin Wu Yan, the one known as the Young Master of Poison?

So you are Grandmaster Fa Xiang from the Heavenly Sound Temple

People say that among the young disciples of the three major righteous sects now

Grandmaster Fa Xiang from the Heavenly Sound Temple has the most outstanding talent

deep wisdom and high virtues

After meeting you today

your reputation is indeed well-deserved

I, Qin Wu Yan, pay my respects to you

What should we do?

Should we run or fight?

Since he's using a demonic method to control the giant ants

defeating him

will cause the giant ants to disperse

Junior Brother Lin, what you said makes sense

That's right

It's four against one

How can we just flee in defeat?

We fight

Let's split into two teams

Senior Brother Li and Junior Brother Zeng will contain the giant ants

Junior Brother Lin and I will work together to attack Qin Wu Yan

What do you all think?

Rather impressive

The Yearning-slaying Divine Dagger

What a pity, it is such a great weapon

Translator's Note: lines from "The Peony Pavilion", a play written by Tang Xian Zu

The beauty lies far away

as I suffer from yearning

All this affection

cannot be completely conveyed

After enduring the long years of painful yearning

this affection shall henceforth be severed

You are a young man of outstanding talent

but you have taken the wrong path

Why not repent and be saved?

You think I have fallen into the demonic path

yet I find your obsessed appearance laughable

There are a multitude of paths

Don't tell me you have taken the lofty path

while I have taken the degenerate path?

There are many paths by nature

Distinguish good from evil

Cultivate the mind with integrity

Eradicate demons with the sway of the sword!

Senior Brother Fa Xiang

It's too late! Are you still trying to enlighten him?

If you still don't attack, I'll be eaten by these beasts

Then you better recite the Rebirth Mantra for me

Benefactor Qin

Watch out

Remarkable Power Inhibition?

As I expected of the Heavenly Sound Temple's top disciple

These four people are all profoundly skilled

I can't defeat them even with the help of the giant ants

I'm afraid I won't get anything out of fighting them

Let's stop here for tonight

Senior Sister Lu

Stop him!

Gui Li

I will remember to

settle the score for this strike!

Was that him?

Senior Brother Li

This is bad

The giant ants were poisonous

The interrogation

seemed ruthless but without malice

A reunion

was never arranged

Time

is frozen in your view

Silently

plead for one to listen attentively to your soul

Did the clouds on Wu Mountain

ever show

any warnings?

The moon over the vast sea

has gone through countless

waxing and waning cycles

The memory of the bamboo image

proves to be still

radiant and crystal clear

At this moment

despite a thousand words, his sword is merciless

Youthful energy

completely disappears

like time

From looking at this wrong path

the display of heartlessness

never ends

Is this true?

It must be an illusion

The words and thoughts

carried by the wind suddenly stop

as we each go our own way in solitude
