[100 years ago,]

[the Holy Master used]

[the demon-suppressing Seven Sins Manual to subdue the Demon Lord,]

[such that the world]

[regained peace.]

[Then, the Seven Sins Manual turned into a talisman genie]

[and is nowhere to be found...]

Enough.

Must all dramas start off like that?

No one is listening.

Follow me.

[Disciple of Lunar Sect, Nan Yan]

[Disciple of Lunar Sect, Chu Jing]

Xiangxiang.

Poisoner!

Let me out!

Let me out!

It's almost time.

Don't...

D-Don't kill me!

Xiangxiang.

D-Don't kill me!

Don't kill me!

Crazy woman!

Hand my junior Chu over!

It's Senior.

Poisoner!

Come out!

It's Meng!

Looks like your reinforcements are here.

I'll teach her a lesson.

I must

subdue her today.

Let's go.

Be careful.

Where is she?

Senior.

Senior.

Don't touch anything.

[First disciple of Lunar Sect, Fu Lang]

Meng!

He's here.

Senior.

Meng.

[Daughter of Lunar Sect's chief, Meng Ying]

Why did she soak you in here?

Well... that...

Poisoner...

Careful.

Can you stand up?

What happened?

Why did you

creep up on us?

Listen.

Your poisons are powerful,

but my sword's

formidable too!

Even your sword

must be tired of hearing that.

Cut the crap.

How can you throw

the cute Chu Jing into a jar?

This fool thought I was out during the day

and set fire in my yard.

He almost burned down

the Vermilion flowers I've been cultivating for two years.

Did you instigate it?

Your yard is

filled with poisonous flowers and herbs.

It'll hurt our fellow sect members some day.

They deserve to be burned.

Vermilion flower's toxin

will penetrate the bones when heated.

If his poison wasn't

sucked out by Xiangxiang

and removed with

half a day's herbal soak,

he'd

already be dead.

I...

My legs...

Why

can't I feel my legs?

Cutie.

You squatted so long

that they're numb.

N-Numb?

It's a side effect of a poison

used in the herbal soak.

One pill each, morning and night.

You'll be fine in three days.

Really?

Listen up, Poisoner.

If you dare lie to me,

I'll tell my father

to kick you out of Lunar Sect now.

Go ahead.

Ask him to collect

the corpse too.

Corpse?

[Xiagu Street Market]

Have you heard?

Lord Shao Cang

escaped from Soul River.

As expected of the rumored

next premier.

Banished into Soul River

yet remaining unscathed.

He could even escape.

You have no idea.

Shao Cang once slaughtered dozens of people

in front of Premier.

I heard he practices sorcery.

Keep your voice down.

Shao Cang could be here.

I heard Great Path Sect members

chased him here.

Sir.

Do you dislike

my wine?

It's not about your wine.

In a moment's sentimentality,

I'm paying respects to the dead.

Miss.

Will you buy the blood centipede or not?

If there are good ones next time,

reserve them for me.

[Love's Rebellion]

[Episode 1]

Convicted for the sin of killing fellow disciples,

my master expelled me from Great Path Sect

and banished me to Soul River's underwater prison.

After I barely escaped,

I came to the North

to find the long-lost

Seven Sins Manual.

Great Path's judicial elder

Zhu Sui

led men to track me all the way.

They use

such Candlelight Beetles

to track my scent.

[Monarch of Great Path Sect, Shao Cang]

[Ji Ming Temple]

Elder.

[Disciple of Great Path Sect, Ma Rui]

It should be here.

[Ji Ming Temple in the North]

[Judicial Elder of Great Path Sect, Zhu Sui]

[Ji Ming Temple]

Back then, Holy Master Ji Ming

sacrificed himself

to kill Demon Lord Sen Luo

in the North.

This temple

is dedicated to him.

While searching for Shao Cang,

be very careful.

Don't disturb the god.

-Yes. -Yes.

Elder, you're too cautious.

Holy Master

died a long time ago.

Can he appear

and punish us?

Watch it.

Who's disturbing me?

Kneel!

Holy Master has shown its presence.

Holy Master.

Please accept my kowtow.

Holy Master.

Please accept my kowtow.

Holy Master has appeared.

We won't disturb you.

Let's go.

Distrust people but believe in ghosts and gods.

No wonder the world's plagued with injustice.

Back then, you risked your life

to use the demon-suppressing Seven Sins Manual

to subdue the Demon Lord.

World peace was achieved,

and you perished.

But today's mortal fools mistake you

for a deity

and made this clay statue

to worship you...

forgetting that asceticism and forbearance

are the magic tools to forge the Great Path

to destroy Demon Lord.

Shao Cang.

What did you do?

I...

Master.

I didn't do this.

You're the only one here.

[Premier of Great Path Sect, Ying Zewei]

They all died

under my personal technique.

Who else

could it be?

Someone must be behind this.

Since Master's sure I did it,

there's no point in talking.

I need to find another way.

Everyone thinks

I've gone astray.

Seven Sins Manual

punishes evil and upholds the Path.

Once I get it,

the truth will be unveiled.

If there's a will...

there's a way.

At midnight tonight,

I can gather Vermilion herbs.

Just in time.

[Five-Poison Heart Pill]

Still lacking three main herbs.

I can gather Golden Crow herbs tomorrow

outside Filth Valley.

[Outside Filth Valley]

Why's there blood?

Never mind.

I'll get it first.

My ancestors

are from the supreme

Great Path Sect.

If you kill me,

you'll be in big trouble!

Great Path Sect?

[Elder of Evil Path Sect, Yu Yong]

Great Path Sect governs

countless petty sects.

How dare you...

threaten me, an Evil Path member?

Moonset Black Snake

that kills?

You're

Yu Yong,

who ranks fourth among the Five Evil Ghosts?

You know

too much.

Demons are cruel indeed.

I mustn't provoke them.

Demon kid.

How dare you break in!

Who is it?

Seven Sins Manual once appeared

in Filth Valley.

To get the manual,

I'll have to wait until the valley opens.

I saw nothing!

Now that you know my identity,

do you think you can leave alive?

Dream on!

It's a demon.

I really saw nothing.

Please

spare my life.

Spare your life?

Sure.

Then submit to me

and be my corpse puppet.

Worry about yourself first.

You poisoner!

Trivial skills

just enough to keep you alive.

How dare you hurt my Black Snake?

I'll teach you a lesson.

Ji Ming's been dead for 1,000 years.

Do you still expect him

to appear and save you?

Don't disrespect the demon-slaying ancestor!

Aren't you afraid of retribution?

Really?

Then call out for him

and see if he'll respond.

What's going on?

Am I that strong?

Trying to escape?

Oh no.

I've aggravated the injury

I sustained in Soul River.

May I ask

which hero saved me?

May I meet you?

Or was it really Holy Master?

Thank you for saving my life, Holy Master.

I'll repay you in the future.

Who's that unlucky fellow?

Was he scared to death

by the demons?

You're awake.

Where am I?

Lunar Sect in Lunar Mountain.

My home.

Lunar Sect in Lunar Mountain?

So?

Remember everything?

Remember,

I saved your life.

He has a weak pulse without breathing?

His heart rate's unstable.

Why are his symptoms

exactly like

the flare-up of my mother's

heart disease?

This sick boy

is quite pretty.

You...

saved my life?

That's right.

I think you

seem educated.

I don't need you...

I've disturbed you for a long time.

I'll get going.

Aren't your limbs weak

and you can't move?

Of course.

Isn't it obvious?

This is for your own good.

I'm not being ungrateful,

but this behavior's

known as kidnapping.

Kidnapping?

That's an overstatement.

The Golden Crow herbs I just gathered

have the poison

that gets rid of your disease.

But since

it was an emergency,

the ratio

of herbs weren't precise.

So...

There are some side effects.

I didn't want you to run away rashly.

That's why I

tied you up.

I'll untie you now.

Righteous sects

have always been strict.

It's improper

for me to stay here.

It's fine.

I secretly brought you back

through the alley.

No one saw it.

Just lie down.

Forget it.

At first, it was just solar plexus pain.

Gradually, it got worse

and more frequent.

You even become short of breath

and fall unconscious.

Then your breathing

stops

and your heart rate drops.

It's akin to death.

What a coincidence.

Mortal medicine

and ordinary elixirs

can't save you.

Only my

treatment with poisons

is effective.

Why don't you stay here

and be my

medicine tester?

Free food, accommodation,

and guaranteed recovery.

Yeah?

No thanks.

Three.

Two.

One.

With your condition,

your power will only

backfire on you.

You can't go out

even if you want to.

Why don't you let me go first?

Well,

if you leave here now,

you'll be dead

within three days.

Just stay here.

You're sick

and I have poisons.

Let's get what we each need.

Isn't a win-win situation

good?

What's good?

I want to be on my own.

I don't want a partner.

How much did your herbs cost?

I'll pay you double.

It's a doctor's duty to help out the needy.

Do you think

I saved you for money?

What do you want then?

Your body.

You can only

blame yourself

for having the same heart disease

as my mom.

You

are my chosen medicine tester,

the best candidate to help me

make my Five-Poison Heart Pill.

Have a good sleep.

When I've made the new medicine,

I promise you'll feel relieved

after you take it.

All side effects will be gone.

[Great Path Sect's Soul River Falls]

Senior.

Senior wouldn't kill anyone.

It must be a misunderstanding!

Shao Cang.

Anything to say?

I've been cultivating for years.

I've let you down.

I...

have nothing to say.

As per Premier's order,

the rebel Shao Cang

who's gone astray

and killed fellow disciples

will be locked up in the underwater prison

of Soul River for life!

At this point,

my priority

is to find the Seven Sins Manual

and the person plotting against me.

Don't kill it.

This snake

is still useful to me.

It has demonic aura.

It can't be kept.

After I extract its poisonous fangs

and gallbladder,

you can kill it.

I'm the karma talisman,

an enlightened genie.

What did you say?

How dare you

be so rash in front of me?

Who are you?

I'm the karma talisman,

an enlightened genie.

I listen to the people's suffering

and kill all demons who come my way.

Seven Sins Manual?

[Nan Yan's consciousness]

Talisman Genie.

It is said that

Seven Sins Manual is within Filth Valley.

Why are you here?

That's

just hearsay.

I passed by here amid my travels

around the world

but was absorbed by this poisoner.

If you can take me out of here,

I might

consider acknowledging you as my master.

How can you switch masters?

Tomorrow night at 8 p.m.,

after sunset,

enact the Soul-Seizing formation

and it'll be done.

Soul-Seizing formation?

Although her spiritual power is weak,

she's still ambitious.

Without the formation,

I doubt I can escape.

This is the formation's formula.

Whether we can become

master and servant

depends on tomorrow.

What are you doing?

[Epilogue]

Remember,

I saved your life.

You...

saved my life?

That's right.

Trivial skills

just enough to keep you alive.

Have your retribution in this life.
