[Episode 40]

Your Highness,

don't look at me like that.

I don't want to fall for you.

Your Highness?

Are you the one

whom Ye Dingzhi holds dear,

Yi Wenjun?

Nice to meet you, Miss Yue Yao.

Yun told me

that you are the girl Dongjun likes.

You are truly pretty.

Miss Yi, you are pretty as well.

Yes.

A beauty

who brings a disaster to the country.

Wenjun.

If I had asked around for your whereabouts

when I was in Tianqi City back then,

perhaps things wouldn't have ended up this way.

Don't blame yourself.

Dongjun,

you have done enough.

Wenjun,

now is not the time.

I'm heading home.

Let's bid farewell here.

Let me escort you back.

There are too many people

who shouldn't be there.

Dongjun,

you shouldn't go there either.

The place you should be

is the bustling

and prosperous Qiandong City

or

the romantic Xueyue City.

You have done

more than enough for us.

If you take this step,

you will turn against everyone.

Yun wouldn't wish to see this.

Neither would I.

But Yun mustn't die.

Only if

I could convince him

not to take me away.

Only if

I could be more determined

when I was in the hut.

But there are no ifs.

For everything that has happened,

I'm to blame.

Your Highness, here's some advice...

Qingyang,

if he ever calls me that again,

kill him.

All right.

How ironic.

The one who eventually kills me

is you.

Just like how

I killed myself

when I was still Ye Xiaofan.

Why did you become the head of the demonic sect?

Why did you start the war?

Why?

Throughout my life,

I seem to have been losing everything I once had.

I can't take this anymore.

Go!

Go.

Head to Nanjue

and never come back!

I will stop them,

so go now.

What are you laughing about?

I just feel like it.

All of you

are so funny.

Forget it.

Ye,

I shouldn't have left you alone

in the prince's mansion.

Silly boy as you were.

It's not funny now, right?

Take him away with you.

I believe

I'm more eloquent than Her Highness...

I mean, Yi Wenjun.

Why did you listen to her

instead of me?

Because he trusts Yi Wenjun,

not you.

You have a point.

It's a killing intent.

They are going after Yun.

No.

I won't listen to anyone.

Looks like Dongjun has made up his mind.

It's useless.

The ending they desire

is but a shattered dream, after all.

I didn't...

If

I could wait a little longer for you

It's fine.

I'm back.

I'm back now.

can be compared

Nothing could be more wonderful than this.

♪Keeping the old love quietly within my heart♪

♪Swallowing the bitter taste of parting♪

♪I'll face the storms of the martial world with no rest♪

Wenjun.

♪And cast sighs away in dreams♪

I have missed you so much.

Who's there?

Yun, I'm here.

The last time

we gathered

was when we were listening

to the tale of the White Feather Sword Deity.

Heroes are born in times of turmoil.

Travel proudly with a sword and press ahead.

Speaking of which, the White Feather Sword Deity...

Who in the world

can stand against my sword?

When you two

heard this just now,

your eyes were shining.

When I turn 20

and you 18,

let's leave Tianqi.

One of us will head north and the other south,

venturing into the martial arts world separately.

Once we both become deities,

we will meet again.

You want to be a Deity Sword,

so I won't compete with you.

The good friend of the White Feather Sword Deity

is the Liquor Deity.

If so, I will be a Liquor Deity.

Well, then.

We will carry our liquor and sword

to roam the martial arts world!

Let's carry liquor and swords to roam the martial arts world!

Heroes are born in times of turmoil.

Travel proudly with a sword and press ahead.

Every individual eventually becomes bones.

Think of youthful memories with a sigh.

As the legend goes, the White Feather Sword Deity of the previous dynasty

wielded his sword

to cut through the plaque of Tianqi

and crush numerous armored armies

before leaving the city with his disciple.

Seeing

his beloved woman

and the friend

who deserves his lifelong trust at the same time,

the demonic energy in Ye Dingzhi

gradually dispels.

His obsession is finally broken.

He's no longer in the Malevolence Phase.

Isn't that good?

Yes, it is.

But since his obsession is broken,

it means

he has returned to the previous Ye Dingzhi.

If the previous Ye Dingzhi

finds out what he has done

and the situation his friend

and beloved woman

are facing,

he won't have a second option.

The path in the martial arts world is long.

Still, there is an end to it.

So long as the dream within stays alive,

it will reignite one day.

This shall be the end of the tale of the White Feather Sword Deity.

Who

will be the next Sword Deity?

I wish I could turn back time.

- Yun! - Yun!

Yun!

Yun!

I thought he was a spent force.

I didn't expect

his remaining power to be this abundant.

He is dissipating his power.

He's dispersed

all of his internal strength.

A thought is caught between good and evil.

Whatever it has been,

Ye Dingzhi

deserves respect.

Yun!

Wenjun.

Yun.

After you left,

I always feared

that I would never see you again.

This feeling had been gnawing

and slowly taking hold of me.

Yun.

So I decided to fight all I had

to get you out

of that place again.

Yun,

let's leave this place.

Let's leave here, all right?

But there is something

I must tell you.

I never doubted

that you would stay for me.

All through my life,

I have never blamed you.

I know.

Dongjun.

My child, Anshi,

and those

who came from the icefield with me,

I entrust them to you.

Yun.

Yun.

My life,

well...

I will repay the world.

No!

No!

Sorry.

Yun.

Yun, don't leave me.

♪Spring and Autumn continue to pass♪

Yun.

Yun, don't leave me.

You promised

you would take me to many places.

You haven't taken me there yet.

Yun.

♪Yet everything ended yesterday♪

Yun!

♪Let me see you one last time before you leave♪

Yun!

Yun!

♪Hoping♪

♪Hoping that all your dreams will come true♪

Yun!

No.

Please, no.

Yun.

♪I will live and die without saying a word of grievances♪

Please don't leave me.

Don't leave me.

Please don't leave me.

Yun.

Yun!

♪To see you alone in this world♪

Yun!

♪By the window♪

The workings of all phenomena

boil down to the law of cause and effect.

Fate unfolds and concludes

in due course.

This applies to all beings.

In the late spring of the eighth year of Mingde's era,

the head of the demonic sect, Ye Dingzhi,

died outside Gusu City.

Seven martial artists joined hands

in this battle.

After Ye Dingzhi's passing,

the eldest daughter of the former head

disappeared,

while the youngest daughter took her own life in the holding cell.

Consequently, the demonic sect became leaderless.

Thus, the curtain called on its conquest of the East.

Simultaneously, in the battle between the South and North,

Xiao Ruofeng, Prince Langya,

and Lei Mengsha, the Chief General,

succeeded on their battlegrounds.

Aside from them,

the remaining young masters retired to the martial arts world.

In the early summer of the eighth year of Mingde's era,

Prince Langya proved the suspicions

of wronged treason against General Dingyuan

and reopened the case,

which shocked the imperial court.

The people were in grief

over the aggrieved General Dingyuan

and appreciated the benign Prince Langya.

The whole nation united in harmony

and ushered in a peaceful and prosperous time

for the Beili Dynasty.

[Tomb of Ye Dingzhi]

Wenjun.

I suppose I should

call you Sister-in-law.

I didn't expect

we would meet again

in such a situation

20 years later.

I wonder

what your plan is.

The one I worry about the most

is Anshi.

Anshi should be

with those of Sky's Beyond.

Now that Yun is gone,

Sky's Beyond is probably in a mess.

Ye Anshi's identity is sensitive.

I'm afraid he might be in trouble.

Indeed.

I want to look for him.

Given your identity,

it's better not

to show up before them.

Leave it to me.

You shouldn't have left in the first place.

Baili Dongjun.

Yun didn't blame you.

But

I do.

He liked you so much, after all.

See you, Wenjun.

I will bring Yun and your child

back.

I will also send those from the icefield

back to their homes.

Everything will be fine.

It's just that...

Yun will never come back.

Yes.

He will never come back.

Grand Eunuch Jinxuan.

Your Highness, maybe you should

heed my advice.

The prince is now in the palace,

that's one thing.

Second,

for your other child

to live safely,

I'm afraid Baili Dongjun alone

may not be enough.

Your Highness,

please.

Wenjun.

Wenjun!

The head of the demonic sect is dead.

Surrender his son.

Such audacity.

Baili Dongjun?

Baili Dongjun?

Before this sword is pulled out,

the demonic sect mustn't leave the mountain,

and Beili mustn't go up the mountain.

If anyone disagrees,

try me.

Can he be so arrogant

after defeating

Ye Dingzhi?

That's right.

He can be as arrogant as he wants

after defeating Ye Dingzhi.

If not,

you can try and say that louder.

Is this Yun's child?

My name is Ye Anshi.

May I know

if my father is dead?

White-Haired Deity.

Come with me.

Yuji.

Baili Dongjun,

where

is our chief?

He's dead.

Did...

Did you kill him?

What do you think?

Let's negotiate.

Negotiate?

Do we even stand a chance for that?

You do.

I suppose you know better than I do

about your current condition.

If this goes on,

it's meaningless

other than more lives being sacrificed.

Return to the lands beyond the northern borders.

At least

you still

can safeguard your home.

On what condition?

One person.

You want Young Master?

Chief just passed away

and you want to trade his son

for our lives?

Yuji and I chose to follow Ye Dingzhi

because we truly admired him.

Naturally, we accept his son.

We will never

betray Chief and Young Master.

This is our belief.

If I ever defy it,

I would rather die.

If Ye Anshi

follows you back to Sky's Beyond,

what will happen to him?

When your conquest started,

Ye Dingzhi was a hero to you all.

But what will happen after his death?

His child is only five.

If he follows you back to the lands beyond the northern borders.,

will he become

a weapon used in power struggle

or a subject

on whom people vent their anger due to this failure?

Just tell me,

how many years

do you and Marquis Purple Robe need

to rebuild Sky's Beyond

and make all of them

pledge their lifelong loyalty to Ye Anshi

like both of you do

after returning to the lands beyond the northern borders?

Six years.

At least six years.

Twelve years.

I will give you twelve years.

Today, I will

make a pact with you.

Within twelve years

from today,

no sects from the lands beyond the northern borders

shall step into Beili.

Ye Dingzhi's son, Ye Anshi,

will be held in Beili.

Until the period is up,

he shall not leave.

Will you accept this?

I don't believe in Beili,

but I believe in you.

For the coming twelve years,

with your dedicated tutelage,

I believe

Young Master

will not let us down.

I'm not qualified to teach him.

He has a better master.

Who is it?

An old acquaintance.

This blade will serve as the token.

Assemble

all your members remaining in Beili.

Have them keep

their blades

and leave immediately.

If there is any trace of them in Beili

after fifteen days,

I will kill them myself.

Uh...

Mr. Baili,

well, this decision...

This decision

is made by Xueyue City.

Lei Fortress, Wen Family, Tang Clan,

Heavenly Mountain Sect, Mount Wangcheng,

and the Dark River agreed to it.

Any objections?

No, not at all.

Mr. Zi, I don't want to leave.

Good boy, don't be afraid.

Boy.

Do you still remember your home?

No.

You weren't there

when your father left.

Now, I will take you

to pay your respects to him,

all right?

Does that mean

I can never return here after that?

The word "return" means a lot.

Wherever your home is,

that's where you should return to.

Mr. Mo.

Come on.

Be good and listen to Mr. Baili.

Wait for us to fetch you back.

You will be 17.

By then,

we will bring

everyone from Sky's Beyond

to welcome you

at the lands beyond the northern borders.

On that day,

you shall be

our true Young Master.

Twelve years.

It's long, right?

Very soon.

When you close your eyes and open them again,

it will be twelve years later.

Life is fleeting, after all.

[One month later]

Third City Lord.

Third City Lord.

What do you want from me?

Why won't you let me out?

Because only you can govern this city.

Why do I

have to do everything here?

Because you are a married man.

So what if I'm married?

So what if I have a family?

I was born clean,

and I will leave clean.

Nothing can constrain me.

So,

are you saying it's your family's fault?

My dear, what brings you here?

It has only been a short while.

But I've already missed you so much.

What did you just say?

Nothing.

I was talking nonsense.

I will deal with you when we get home.

Watch your step, my dear.

Are we leaving just like this?

You just got back.

We'd better slip off

before they notice us.

Where are we going, then?

Back to Qiandong City.

Why Qiandong City?

I thought

you were going to roam the martial arts world.

Why is home your first leg of the journey?

Because I want to marry you.

Naturally, I have to go home

and hold a wedding ceremony.
