Episode 11 (34) Hidden Blade

Back then, Mr. Wei severely wounded three thousand cultivators

by controlling the corpses with the Stygian Tiger Amulet.

Now, what would happen if highly powerful corpses

were summoned instead?

I wonder what will happen to the cultivation world?

Clan Leader Jin,

you lied again.

Xichen,

I had

no choice but to do this.

Uncle!

Clan Leader Jiang, you haven't recovered your spiritual power yet.

You shouldn't force yourself.

Now, the lives of the cultivator clans

are in your hands.

Will you surrender, or will you resist?

What?

You...

Where are they?

Clan Leader!

You... When did you find out?

If you mean the crux of the formation,

we found out a few days ago.

But the Burial Mounds was a more pressing matter.

So we had to ask Mr. Lan to help take care of it.

If you mean the corpses you intended to summon, well,

you've already activated an ancient formation,

I doubt that was just to suppress the resentful souls of the courtesan house.

It was my mistake to underestimate you.

I was greedy to draw out the mastermind behind all of this as well.

But

all is fair in war.

Always have more than one plan at hand.

Why don't you guess

what will be my next step, Mr. Wei?

Young Master!

Be careful!

That's...

M... Mingjue!

Be careful, Clan Leader.

Clan Leader, go!

You must be Mr. Su, Su Minshan, right?

Brother!

Brother,

can you not even recognize me anymore?

It's not just that.

He doesn't even know who he is right now.

Wen Ning,

where did you run into him?

The observation towers.

Xichen and I sent over a dozen men to watch over him.

But they still couldn't hold him there.

With his head reattached to his body,

his resentful energy has increased drastically.

Lan Zhan!

Playing "Soul Soothing" alone won't be able to suppress such strong resentful energy.

Clan Leader Lan has lost a lot of his spiritual power as well.

Uncle Guangyao, run!

Oh, no!

Ghost General...

Wei Wuxian!

"Nostalgia"?

Brother...

Here. To ease your pain.

Xichen.

Why did this happen?

Why...

Clan Leader Lan.

I understand, Mr. Wei.

Clan Leader Jin,

you heard him.

Please don't do anything else.

Otherwise,

I won't go easy on you.

I will take your life.

Thank you, Zewu-jun.

Huaisang,

give me the medicine.

Brother Xichen, watch out!

Lan... Xichen...

Clan Leader Jin.

I told you.

If you do anything else,

I won't spare you.

Yes.

You did say that.

But did I do anything?

I... I saw Guangyao...

No.

I saw Clan Leader Jin

reach behind his back.

I don't know if he was going to...

What a "Head-Shaker" indeed.

Huaisang.

Not bad indeed.

You hid yourself so well for all these years.

Even if I didn't notice.

I...

Brother Xichen, you have to believe me.

I did see him...

You...

Don't move.

Lan Xichen...

In this life, I've told countless lies and killed countless lives.

I killed my father, my brother, my wife, my son, my master, and my friend.

What haven't I done?

But I've never even thought...

of harming you...

Back then,

when you were hunted down by the Wens,

I saved you.

When the Lan Clan was rebuilding the Cloud Recesses,

I helped you with everything I could.

I may have temporarily sealed your spiritual power this time,

but when have I ever wronged you?

Su Minshan

could repay me in such a way just because I remembered his name

back then.

But you are

as intolerant of me as Nie Mingjue.

You wouldn't even spare me a single breath of life!

Zewu-jun, get away from him!

My dear friend,

die with me!

Nie Mingjue,

do you really think I'm afraid of you?

Xichen.

(Lotus Cove, Yunmeng)

Hanguang-jun. Senior Wei.

Ghost General.

The ashes

were swept away by the wind.

We tried our best,

but these were all we could find.

Thank you.

Senior Wei.

There's something I would like you to see.

A Skullpiercer?

Where did you find this?

Among the ashes.

A Skullpiercer can be used to control the living as well.

It would seem so.

Wen Ning and his clan members couldn't have purposefully attempted

to destroy the Stygian Tiger Amulet or tried to seal the array.

It only makes sense

that they were controlled.

If my guess is right,

there should be a Skullpiercer

in Qin Su's head as well.

That would explain why she suddenly took her own life.

But how did that fake Ghost General

escape Clan Leader Lan and Chifeng-zun's notice?

Nevernight City was a mess back then.

And the Jins had Xue Yang, who was well-versed in demonic cultivation.

So Xue Yang created a fake corpse

and fooled everyone?

I'm afraid no one would have expected

the Jins

to do such a thing in front of everyone.

Ghost General.

(Lotus Cove)

Ghost General.

That Jin Guangyao.

He only got to where he was by currying favors from Chifeng-zun

and Zewu-jun.

How dare he...

Oh, he's just a two-faced rat.

He was looking for his next shelter during the Sunshot Campaign.

Once he saw that the Wens were going to fall,

he immediately killed Wen Ruohan.

I'll tell you a secret too.

He secretly kept a portion of the funds

used to build the observation towers too.

- How shameless! - Indeed!

And there's more.

Do you know why he didn't kill that Si Si?

It's because he frequented those places too.

How sickening.

Rumors are just rumors.

Why bother to believe them?

If those were secrets,

how did people find out about them?

Actually,

when we broke the seal on that ancient formation,

I saw something about Si Si.

Back then, when Meng Yao's mother was humiliated in the courtesan house,

it was Si Si who defended her.

Perhaps that is why

Jin Guangyao spared her life.

If Brother brings this up in the future,

I will let him know.

All right.

To think that there is someone

who is an even better actor

than Jin Guangyao in this world.

He used the sacrificial ritual to bring me back

and used the Demonic Arm

to lure us into his plans.

After that, everything was set into motion.

Running into Wen Ning at Dafan Mountain,

the experiment site at Huaicang Mountain,

the truth behind the Hundred Holes Curse placed on Jin Zixun,

encountering Xue Yang in Yi City, finding out about the Stygian Tiger Amulet,

the ancient formation in Guanyin Temple,

the head in Jinlintai,

(If you wish to know the truth, head to Tan City immediately)

and the letter from Tan City.

One after another.

He didn't just want to recover Chifeng-zun's corpse.

Nor did he just want Jin Guangyao to lose everything.

He wanted him to become a public enemy

and to take his life.

It's a pity

that we don't have any evidence.

So all of these will remain speculations and doubts.

(Lotus Cove)

Everyone,

the banquet has been prepared.

Please proceed to the council hall.

Hanguang-jun. Mr. Wei.

A council?

More like a crusade against Jin Guangyao and a celebration of his death.

Lan Zhan.

How about I take you

to another place?

All right.

Have you heard?

The Stygian Tiger Amulet is missing.

We have Mr. Wei. What's there to worry about?

No one knows more about

demonic cultivation than the Yiling Patriarch himself.

Mr. Wei is a rare talent indeed.

He was gifted in cultivation.

And he even created

the demonic cultivation.

If he hadn't left Yunmeng for those Wens,

the Lotus Cove would have long been

a force to be reckoned with right now.

Ai wa shitteiru

I have known love

Kodoku mo shitteiru

The loneliness I have known

Monogatari wa ima owari tsugeru

Now this story is coming to an end

Ugokidasu yume no saki e

The dream began to move forward

Taenu arasoi no hate ni

What awaits us

Nani ga bokura wo matteiru deshou?

at the end of this unbearable battle?

Sore ga totemo utsukushii no nara

If it was a beautiful

Kokoro wa mitasareteku kara

it would fulfill my heart immensely

Ima, tsukiyo ni hibiita uta

Now, the scent of the tree

Kaze hakobu mokuren no nioi

that sings the poem resonates in the moonlit night

Mahou no you ni kokoro wo tsukande

has seized my heart like magic

Itsu made mo hanasou to wa shinai

that will never be spoken of again

Parapara hora chiru negai ga

I wonder when that desire will fall apart

Itsu kara ka na futari dakara

As long as there are two of us,

Kanaerareru to shinjite

I believe we can make it come true

Sora ni kaeru no sa

Return to the Sky

Ai wo shitteiru

I have known love

Kodoku mo shitteiru

The loneliness I have known

Monogatari wa ima owari wo tsugeru

Now this story is coming to an end

Urayamu senaka mae ni

The real behind your envious exterior

Bokura niteiru

We are the same

Hontou wa shitteiru no

Do you really know?

Wasure yuku inori ga kienu you ni

Forget about it so that a wish will not fade away

Arigatou tte itta toki,

When you say "thank you",

Boku no kimochi shitta desho...?

Do you really know my feelings?
