ZHU XIAN Immortal Executioner

Episode 37

Vice Sect Leader

Not long after you entered the Inner Marshes

our camp was attacked by fish monsters

Those beasts

have tough bodies and

are expert at escaping into water

We had several major battles

and lost many of our members

Where is Sha Sheng?

Yesterday

he went after a bunch of fish monsters

He did not listen even though I tried to persuade him

And...

What?

After my investigation

the Harmonious Reunion Sect

also encountered the same situation

And for unknown reasons, the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect

withdrew from the marshes that very night

Before I came

did the Sect Leader stop by?

Yes

The Sect Leader came with the two Holy Envoys

What did he say?

He said that

all matters in this place will be left to you to handle

Then he left

This matter is over now

Immediately take your subordinates back to Mount Huqi

As you command

Then

what about you, Vice Sect Leader?

The circumstances around these fish monsters are strange

They also killed so many of our members

I will investigate this matter myself

Chief Nian and those people are too spineless

What do you know at your young age?

Not everyone can stand fast when confronted with life or death

But didn't he prefer death to surrender?

I really could not tell that you have this much backbone

It is said that the Young Master of Blood has killed countless people

So why did he spare you of all people?

You must hate him very much, right?

At first

I loathed this person

Then I slowly understood that

even without him

the Ten Thousand Poisons and Harmonious Reunion sects

would've attacked us sooner or later

The Ghost King Sect

merely attacked before they could

You can actually have this level of understanding

I have underestimated you

I feel extremely frustrated staying at the Ghost King Sect

That day, I happened to see you all

I don't know why

I started following you all either

But

I definitely have no intention of harming you all

If...

If you all don't want this

I...

I'll leave now

Fellow Daoist

We roam around the country anyway

From now on, you can travel with us

Silly girl

He is a notorious fiend from a demon sect

I heard that he used to...

What did he use to do?

It seems like I did not hear of him doing anything

But...

But if he were to follow us

it would not be beneficial for us, right?

Yesterday, when we passed by a deserted post

a wild boar suddenly leapt out of the forest

Grandfather, you took off running

He was the one who saved me

How...

How could I possibly handle a wild boar?

Besides

even if it were a tiger

wouldn't you...

Fellow Daoist

Please take care of us in the future

That's fine

Just let me handle

any tough work

Let's go

Keep up

Senior

I, Jing Yu, have returned to report on the mission

and pay my respects to you

It is you

Wait a moment

I have a guest here

This child

has what it takes

Back then

why didn't you take him as your disciple?

Because he resembles someone too much

His temperament

expressions

and aptitude

are all so similar

If I keep him by my side

I will not be able to sleep

I was just joking with you

It has been ten years

Hasn't your injury healed yet?

I did not expect the backlash from the

Immortal Executioner Sword to be this strong

Actually, I also once thought that

if you were to use the Immortal Executioner Sword a few more times

perhaps you will die before me

Do you still remember

what I said when I saved you back then?

I saved you

because I am indebted to you

But I will not let you live longer than me

Sect Leader

Did you get injured

during the trip this time?

Senior

They are just superficial wounds

They are not worth mentioning

Unfortunately

the trip to the Death Marshes this time

did not achieve anything

The three major demon sects dispatched their forces together

Then did you

see Cang Song?

No

Do you hate him?

He treated me very well

I also respected him like a father

But...

Cang Song is

just a pitiful person who took the wrong path

This is for you

It's so sweet!

Thank you, fellow Daoist

Do you think you can bribe me with just one fruit?

It's fine if you don't want to eat it

So you are here

Zhang...

Young Master Gui Li

Why did you come here?

Little monkey

Little monkey

Do you still remember me?

I have a fruit

Do you want to eat it?

Little monkey, what have you been feasting on?

You're so much heavier now

I have something to ask of you, Senior

Me?

Well...

I am extremely talented

and extremely knowledgeable

Tell me

What is it?

Is it tasty?

In the Dead Marshes that day

Eat more

a fish-headed monster ambushed your granddaughter

Do you still remember that?

Yes

That monster was very ferocious

If you all had not acted in time

I would've been killed by it

Senior

At that time, you said that

monster is a foreign race from the southern frontier

Correct

After you all left

my subordinates were ambushed by a group of Fish Men

We suffered heavy casualties

Senior, may I ask

what exactly is the background of these Fish Men?

Did those subordinates of yours who died

suffer a gruesome death

of being mutilated into pieces

in a way too horrible to look at?

Yes

Then there is no mistaking it

This is definitely the doing of the Fish Men

This foreign race has a bizarre appearance

They have the head of a fish and body of a human

According to their own legends

they are the descendants of the ancient Fish God and a human

The Fish Men are cruel and fond of killing

They believe that chopping their opponent's body into pieces after killing them

can shatter their opponent's soul at the same time

So animals or people who die by their hand

will not have intact corpses

There are even more savage things

in the vastness of this world

Why have I never heard of

such a barbaric foreign race before?

The Fish Men

originally inhabit the Shiwan Great Mountain at the southern frontier

And the only road connecting the Central Plains to the southern frontier

runs through the territory of the Burning Incense Valley

one of the three major righteous sects

Occasionally, a few Fish Men will run out from the Shiwan Great Mountain

Most of them are slain by the disciples of the Burning Incense Valley

I traveled near the Shiwan Great Mountain when I was young

thus learned a little bit about them

Based on what you have said

it's reasonable for one of them to occasionally escape

But for such a large group to stealthily

appear in a marsh ten thousand li away...

In that case, there must be some trouble at the Burning Incense Valley

That is your own concern then

Senior, may I ask if you know

the whereabouts of the Ancient Shaman clansmen?

The Ancient Shaman clan?

I heard that they disappeared a thousand years ago

Why are you asking about this?

Has the inheritance of the Ancient Shaman clan

truly completely disappeared?

If you just want to find the inheritance

I am afraid the ancient relics and texts left behind

are mostly kept by the cultivation sects operating in the local area

Thank you for your advice, Senior

Little monkey

This mark of yours

makes it look like you have another eye

Do you plan to follow them from now on?

Yes

Chief Nian and the others will come looking for you at any time

I don't care

They were the first to betray the sect

Will they have the nerve to come see me?

Do as you wish

Little monkey

We shall meet again if we're meant to

You really know a lot

Sister Ping'er

I implored the wind to undo the confusion in my heart

but even the wind fell into silence

I vaguely see your past attachment

turn into floating bamboo leaves

No one listens to what a lone bamboo like me has to say

Even the sparrows don't rest here

Despite the many bamboo nodes, the records fade away

Will you kill me?

I will

thus enforcing the blame on me

So when you are able to kill me

you should do so

Honestly speaking, bamboo can also be weak,

warm then cold, or distraught with anxiety

The clouds did ask the galaxy beyond

if there were demons there she was reluctant to leave behind

The night did ask the ten directions of the mundane world

The flowing light dances continuously on the mist-covered waters

The empty bamboo shakes off the rain

Come back

Junior Brother Zhang

Who can prove that he has once lived?

I haven't used

this name in a long time

Honestly speaking, bamboo can also be weak,

Knowledge and practice differ, causing fatigue and cowardice

I have done well by taking this path

I don't need you all to save me

Who is humming the mystical winter song

that touches the demons in her heart?

The moon hums as the flowing waves gather

The stars warm the thin, surrounding fog of winter

The empty bamboo is sad as if it's weeping

Go back?

I can't go back anymore

I had never asked but I had already lost sight

The world is impartial

all beings are regarded as insignificant

of her figure

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
