(Phantom Love)

(Episode 10)

Today,

I'm going to execute you on the spot,

and give justice

to those innocent souls.

Senior Mu, His Highness is questioning that demon right now.

You should hurry and go.

Your Highness, I heard you caught the Dream-Eater.

Where is the demon now?

The State Preceptor's talisman only held the demon for a moment,

and it broke free.

I'll send demon hunters to track it down.

Once I return to the temple, I'll tell my master

to fix the talisman before I return it to Your Highness.

I'll take my leave for today.

Shen Que said the demon broke free from the talisman and escaped?

Yes.

I infused that talisman with great power.

There's no way the demon could've escaped.

Prince of Xian

must have let the demon go willingly.

Letting emotions get in the way like this

will ruin my entire plan.

Instead of letting him cause even bigger trouble,

it's better to just get rid of him.

That way, there'll be no more problems.

Master, he's the Prince of Xian.

This is a major decision.

Once we start, there's no turning back.

He holds the demon-hunting token, yet he's working with demons.

Why shouldn't he be killed?

What? Are you going to defy your master now too?

I wouldn't dare.

I'll take care of it right away.

He had the chance to kill me

but why did he let me go?

(I know you're a demon and you killed my brother.)

(But why do I still believe you?)

(Why do I care about your safety?)

(Why do I keep thinking about you?)

Guards!

Yes, sir.

Bring over all of Prince of Qi's possessions.

Yes.

Your Highness, these are all the belongings Prince of Qi left behind.

- You may go. - Yes.

(Memorial)

(Prince of Qi secretly set up an underground black market)

(to trade demon beast pelts)

(for huge profits.)

(He used demon hunting as an excuse)

(to conscript strong men and seize homes forcefully.)

(For eight years, under the guise of demon hunting with Qingdu Temple,)

(Prince of Qi killed nearly seven hundred innocent people.)

(The list and all related evidence)

(are found from a secret investigation into this matter.)

(Proceed carefully.)

(Anyone who knows the truth)

(must be killed.)

(My brother actually intercepted the general's memorial to the throne.)

(This handwriting really is his.)

(If the old emperor refused to abdicate,)

(hold Shen Que hostage)

(to force him to step down.)

(If necessary,)

(both of them could be killed.)

Your Highness, you probably already know the truth.

Only by devouring the nightmare

of the truly wicked

before they die

can I cultivate.

The perfect brother in your heart

wasn't a good person at all.

(Shen Que, your life is truly a joke.)

(The one you love is the very demon you hate.)

(And the one you admire)

(isn't who you think they are.)

Now that Shen Que knows Li is a demon,

we can't just sit idly and do nothing.

What I hate most is that the spiritual root is inside him.

Because of that, I can't kill him to avenge Li.

I even have to exercise care to protect his life.

When the spiritual root is returned, that's when I'll tear him to pieces.

Only Li can take the spiritual root from him.

We can't push her so hard.

I'm not the one pressuring her now.

What do you mean?

The spirit butterflies I sent to gather intel

claimed that those demon hunters were planning to kill Shen Que.

Humans really are selfish creatures.

That can't happen.

If Shen Que dies, we can't get the spiritual root back.

For him to reincarnate,

it'll take another hundred years.

- We... - When are they planning to make their move?

Today.

Li!

Don't worry. I won't let my feelings get in the way.

I haven't retrieved my spiritual root yet.

If he dies now, the whole demon clan will be buried with him.

I won't let that happen.

Bai, we have to trust Li.

She'll handle this.

Who are you?

Who sent you here?

Take your questions to the underworld.

I'm glad you're here as well.

I'll wipe you all out today.

I'm the Prince of Xian, and all demon hunters answer to me.

Disobey and you die!

I'll draw them away. Go, now!

Be careful.

Let's go.
