[The Legends of Changing Destiny]

Episode 12

What happened?

Weapons down.

Let's talk this over.

I'm just a pig demon.

Listen up.

I grew up in a pig sty.

All of my siblings are dead.

They were eaten.

I was the only one who managed to escape.

After I escaped,

I cultivated my powers for several decades.

After that, I became a mediocre pig demon.

When I was a pig,

I was almost eaten by humans.

Now that I'm a demon, I'm almost eaten by other demons.

I heard that King Rocky was the boss here.

That's why I came here to join you.

That is all.

Why did you bring such a huge weapon with you?

To defend myself.

Why don't you try and wield it?

It's pretty effective.

I grew up in a pig sty.

Humans plow the fields beside us.

They use this

to plow the fields

and dig up the dirt.

Rocky, let's forget it.

Don't hold it against him.

I have something to tell you.

Let us speak in private.

White Ape, we have a problem.

What kind of problem?

There's a plain in front of us.

A plain? How vast is it?

As vast as the eyes can see.

With our current pace,

we'll be stuck for at least three days.

Can we take a detour then?

I understand.

I'll think of something else.

We must hide this from them.

Don't tell them first.

Can't we take a detour?

That's impossible.

It's either we go to the river

or the desert.

It's time to make a choice.

It's already difficult enough for us to protect ourselves.

How could we bring

those lesser demons with us?

If a group of demons like us travel across the plain,

we'll be sitting ducks for the heavenly patrolmen.

You don't talk much usually.

I thought

you were on White Ape's side.

I'm on your side.

Mine?

Yes.

Jackal told me this many times.

He said he wanted to leave with me.

I'm not leaving

not because

I'm as silly as White Ape

for bringing these lesser demons with him.

It's because I know

that we might not be able to enter the Wicked Dragon Pond

even if we're there.

We'll be cannon fodder

if we can't enter the place.

Among us,

you have the highest chance of being recruited

by the Saurian.

White Ape, who's on the Path of Enlightenment,

at most

is considered one of the candidates.

But I don't get along with him.

You're my only hope.

If you agree to give up on the lesser demons,

we can depart by tonight.

I'll scout out the road while you hurry on your journey.

The heavenly patrolmen won’t be able to catch up to us.

At most,

I'll bring Hong with us.

I don't agree.

Forget it then.

Tell me anytime

once you have straightened out your thoughts.

I can fly,

and I'm a quick runner anyway.

I know that you can defend yourself

without any issues too.

Yang Lan,

have you heard of the Wicked Dragon Pond before?

Wicked Dragon Pond?

You mean the Saurian Demon's territory?

What's wrong? Did you offend her?

Do you need me to use the Three-Edge Trident on her?

The Three-Edge Trident you mentioned

was Yang Yan's Sky-Pierce Trident, right?

That's right.

Are you willing to look for him?

No way.

I was just thinking that I should head to Wicked Dragon Pond

and let them attack me.

After that, the Three-Edge Trident would come to protect me.

However, I did hear of

the Wicked Dragon Pond's origin.

(It was originally known as the Pond of Purple Cloud and Azure Waves.)

(An evil dragon arrived at the place and chased away)

(all of the fishermen over 200 years ago.)

After that, people called it the Wicked Dragon Pond.

After the Heavenly Court found out,

they sent the Heavenly Army after her.

(However, the Saurian Demon)

(actually)

(swallowed all 500 of them)

out of rage.

Since then,

the Heavenly Court will send troops after her

from time to time.

The conflict

lasted for over 100 years.

However,

the Heavenly Court couldn't regain the Wicked Dragon Pond.

Due to that, the Saurian Demon

became well-known throughout the Demon Realm.

Many demons went to join her.

She became the banner of Nanzhan Continent.

The story does sound pretty strange.

I think there's more to it than meets the eye.

However, I don't know the details.

Before this, I wanted to order the Guanjiangkou Army

to get rid of them.

However, Nuojia's father,

Gujing,

didn't agree to let us interfere.

The issue was unresolved.

If you wish to know more about them,

I can do some research for you.

Yes, please.

All right.

I haven't finished gathering my herbs yet.

I'll look for you once I'm done.

And

you must keep the jade strip I gave you.

If not, I won't be able to contact you.

Everyone, stop and hear out.

It's been tough on you guys for the past few days.

It's indeed tiring to travel every day.

What about this?

Let's all take a break for one day.

Go and take a break.

You should take a break too.

Did you not sleep a wink?

Give me some time.

I'll come up with something else.

There's definitely a solution to this.

Both you and Lippy

must keep this a secret.

Lippy!

Lippy!

Come here.

What's going on?

Isn't it obvious enough?

What do you mean?

What do you mean by that?

Calm down.

Why did you tell them?

I told you before.

They'll find out eventually.

Do you take them for idiots?

Calm down.

We'll be digging our own graves

if we head there directly.

I'll see

what White Ape will do after this.

Lesser demons are born and raised by nature.

We don't need him to pretend to be kind.

What's on your mind?

Think about it.

Now, everything is progressing

according to our plan.

White Ape will figure this out eventually.

Even if he's willing to die together

with the lesser demons,

he won't drag Rocky,

Lippy,

and the pig demon down with him.

By then, he has to beg them

to follow us.

But what if that stubborn fool

needs to take a few days to come to terms with this fact?

Will we have

to wait here for a few days then?

Are you kidding me? We have to wait a few days here?

If so, we'll be eradicated when the heavenly general

finds us!

Wait a few days?

We can give up on the rest.

However, the rock demon is extraordinary.

Lippy can fly

and scout out areas.

And that pig demon.

He's useful too.

Demons gather in the Wicked Dragon City,

right?

Even if we do reach there,

things will be tough for us.

That's why it's best

if they can form an alliance with us.

Of course I know that.

But what if Rocky and his gang

want to stay with White Ape?

It's not like we're out of ideas.

What do you mean?

What if

White Ape is dead?

White Ape,

I came up with a way

to travel across the plain

and reach Wicked Dragon City safely.

What way?

That

is for you to die!

Rocky!

Rocky, I'm begging you!

Can you please let me off?

Rocky, I'll do whatever

you ask of me!

They want to kill you.

You can deal with them yourself.

White Ape, please!

Spare me!

I don't wish to kill you either!

I just want to survive!

Think about it! It's the plains!

Everyone, the plains are right in front of us!

And you aren't willing to abandon these lesser demons!

We'll die for sure if we travel across it!

That's why we...

I regret it now!

Please spare me!

Please spare me! It's my fault!

It's all my fault!

We should spare them.

But they wanted to kill you.

I know that.

However, this was my fault too.

I shouldn't have done so.

I shouldn't have done so.

Fine.

Suit yourself.

Seems like we'll know the result soon.

Lesser demons

will leave the pack soon.

This is what they do.

They're ingrates.

I was a lesser demon too.

I did everything for the sake of survival.

Look at White Ape.

He treats them well usually.

Now that we're in trouble,

they're questioning White Ape to no end.

Let's just wait and see.

Maybe only a few of them

will still be here by tomorrow.

But that's good too.

If they leave the pack,

it's much easier for us to travel across the plain.

You told Jackal

and the rest about this, right?

I didn't know they would be this ruthless.

Sorry.

Forget it.

I know you didn't do it on purpose.

Yeah. Why didn't they kill Ox?

He wants to kill you. What are you doing?

Listen to me.

We can resolve this issue.

Just sit down and take a break first.

Sit down and take a break.

Thank you for saving me.

Why are you thanking me?

You're their leader.

It's my duty to save you.

What kind of leader am I?

At most, I'm just a pushover

that got you into a mess.

Actually,

there's no need for you to stay with the pack.

If you

traveled with Hong,

you guys could've left

the plains within one night.

Are you chasing me away?

No.

That's not what I mean.

What's your plan then?

I don't even know.

Actually, killing Ox is the right choice.

If there's only one group of heavenly patrolmen,

you can deal with them alone.

However, if more than one group appears,

you won't be able to deal with them

even if Ox is helping you.

If so, why didn't you choose to kill him?

Because he wasn't wrong.

He wasn't wrong?

He wanted to kill you!

If one day,

everyone can only survive with my death,

I beg you, please don't hesitate.

Just end me with one blow.

It's already tough enough to be a demon.

There's no need for us to kill each other.

Actually,

you aren't the first person who thinks that I'm silly.

I'm a pushover,

yet I can't clean up my mess.

However,

I still want to thank you for joining me.

So, how do you plan

to resolve this issue?

Weren't they questioning you too?

The kids wanted to resolve it themselves.

They didn't want to do it in front of me.

Humans have this saying called,

"You will cross the bridge when you get to it."

There will surely be a way.

There will surely be a way.

Martial Uncle.

Martial Uncle Qingyun.

You'll reach

the Condensation Phase before long, right?

What did my master

teach you?

You're actually making a lot of progress.

Grandmaster told me to keep it a secret.

Keep it a secret, huh?

But why?

Don't tell me you'll return to the Channeling Phase

and achieve another breakthrough?

Martial Uncle Qingyun,

I want to ask you something.

How's Rocky doing?

Rocky?

I mean Tenth Martial Uncle.

Martial Uncle Lingyun said

Rocky has to master the Great Spell of Nine Alterations

in Lingyun Pavilion before he could come back.

How was his progress?

How much has he learned?

So, you were referring to that?

You see,

it's been a long time since I went to Lingyun Pavilion.

I had no idea about this.

If so, Martial Uncle Qingyun,

will you head to Lingyun Pavilion lately?

Lately?

Maybe.

If so, can you help me deliver

a letter to Rocky?

It's been so long

since he wrote to me.

Last time,

Martial Uncle Lingyun didn't want to deliver my letter for me.

He said he would only bring me there as a reward

after I reached the Condensation Phase.

Fengling, it might be some time

before I'll head there.

What about this?

You can ask someone else to deliver it for you.

Or you can find your Martial Uncle Lingyun.

He said he would help you out after you reached

the Condensation Phase, right?

Martial Uncle Qingyun, please help me out.

Oh yeah.

I still have things to do in the monastery.

Fengling,

you must train hard.

Remember to train hard.

But Martial Uncle Qingyun...

Martial Uncle Lingyun.

Fengling?

What are you doing here?

I brought Rocky

his favorite fruit.

I'm here to visit him.

Wait.

Rocky is in a crucial period

of his cultivation.

He cannot see anyone now.

What about this? You can give it to me.

I'll give it to him.

No, Martial Uncle.

I'll just observe him from the side.

I won't interrupt him.

Why can't I see him?

It's okay. I can deliver it myself.

Wait.

This has dire consequences.

Think about it. Rocky is doing his best

to cultivate his powers now.

He'll definitely be distracted if he knows

that you're here to visit him.

He might not be able

to master the Great Spell of Nine Alterations.

Worse, he might even go berserk.

You can't just let him waste his effort because of your desire to see him.

You'll regret it for the rest of your life.

My dear,

you shouldn't interrupt him

if you're truly concerned about him.

You just want to deliver these to him, right?

I'll definitely tell him

that you were here to visit him.

Fine then, Martial Uncle.

I have another thing that I...

I have to check on

his progress now.

Martial Uncle!

I have a letter

that I want you to deliver to Rocky.

He left already?

Fine.

I'll ask you to deliver it for me next time.

Rocky,

why can I never deliver this letter to you?

Yang Lan?

Yang Lan!

Yang Lan!

Did you come to Kirin Peak

to find the herbs for Rocky's breakthrough?

How's Rocky doing in Lingyun Pavilion?

Has he reached the Crystallization Phase?

He's doing great.

I'm making medicine for him.

I'm glad that he's fine.

Rocky didn't write back to me.

I thought he was in trouble.

By the way, Yang Lan,

can you help me deliver

this letter to Rocky?

Please tell him that I'm waiting for him to write back to me.

He can just

write a word or two if he's that busy.

It's fine as long as I know how he's doing.

All right.

I'll deliver this letter to him.

Thank you, Yang Lan.

By the way, Yang Lan,

please take care of Rocky for me.

Rocky

loves bananas,

apples, and pears.

Oh yeah, he's a cleanliness freak too.

He has to change his attire every day.

Enough.

I need to make my medicine.

Thank you, Yang Lan.

What are you guys doing?

I won't abandon you guys.

Thank you.

Thank you for leading us

and protecting us all along.

Lesser demons like us

were always lonely and helpless.

We were left out in the wilds.

No one cared

about our survival.

White Elder, thank you.

You're our second parent.

Please accept our bow.

Get up!

Hurry and get up!

We discussed this among ourselves last night.

Ox and the rest were right.

We can't afford to stay here any longer.

The best way

is for us to split up

and attract the attention of the heavenly patrolmen.

White Elder,

you've already done enough for us.

We can't just rely on you for everything.

You guys mustn't do so!

I just need more time.

Let me think of something.

We can't afford to give you more time.

We're out of time.

If we wait here,

we'll die together!

My child.

All of you are my beloved children.

White Elder!

All of you are my beloved children!

White Elder!

I will surely leave this place together with you!

I kept this

last time.

You can have it.

I'll definitely look for you in the Wicked Dragon Pond

if I survive this time.

Wait for me.

Rocky!

I'll talk to White Ape.

Don't.

I came up with the suggestion.

It's my fate to draw that lot.

That's why...

I'm sure there's another way!

Stop crying.

Rocky,

I don't want Black Mole to die!

Stop crying.

I'm sure there's another way.

Let's go.

Let's go.

Hurry up.

Let's go.

Come.

Don't fall behind.

Don't fall behind.

We've arrived.

We've finally arrived.

We've arrived.

Guys, we've arrived.

We've finally arrived.

This is great!

We've finally arrived.

We've arrived.

This is great.

Boss, here's a toast to you.

Go.

Where did lesser demons like you all come from?

How dare you invade Dragon City?

Take them down!

Sorry for the offense.

We didn't mean it.

That doesn't mean you can invade Dragon City.

Sir,

we just arrived here.

We don't know the rules here.

Please spare us.

Forget it.

I was just like you guys in the past.

I understand how you guys feel.

However,

I can't just

let the effort of my buddies.

be in vain.

You see.

If I hand you guys over,

maybe I can render

some merit.

What do you think I should do?

Don't make things difficult for me.

What?

Don't tell me

you guys want to be imprisoned?

Sir,

we didn't know the rules here.

You don't know the rules, huh?

Do you guys know what gold essence is?

Don't tell me

you have no idea?

Gold essence?

Gold essence?

What?

We don't have any.

Are these the things you want?

Not bad at all.

You're pretty sensible.

You have a bright future ahead of you.

All right.

You guys can find your own shelter.

Guys, let's go.

We're done here. Let's go.

Let's go.

Let's go.

What's gold essence?

I don't know either.

It's the thing

Jackal took from the heavenly soldiers

after killing them.

I kept them with me

after Jackal's death.

Those were gold essence.

It's the currency they use

in the Heavenly Court.

Come here.

For you.

Rocky, have some water.

I don't need much.

I thought that Saurian

was a bully who stole other people's territory.

Now that I'm at Wicked Dragon City,

I guess she's influential to a certain degree.

However, don't you guys think

that they're being too glamorous with this city?

The heavenly soldiers actually couldn't take down this city

for more than a century?

Could it be that this Saurian

is as strong as Yang Yan?

There's more to this city than meets the eye.

This is too abnormal.

Rocky,

did you sense something abnormal?

I thought

you were mute.

Not at all. I didn't dare to talk to you

because of my lowly status.

I'm not strong too.

I have to think twice before I talk.

But Rocky, be honest with me.

Did you sense something?

There must be a trick behind it.

This is the Nanzhan Continent.

It's right under the Heavenly Emperor's nose.

According to what I know,

the Heavenly Court will never let this situation happen.

Even a powerful warrior like Yang Yan

could only accept the offered amnesty.

Precisely.

What gives this Saurian the right to do so?

Yeah, what gives?

But...

But I think

this Saurian

loves gold essence.

Rocky, I'll do some investigation.

White Ape, Ox,

let's go.

Where are we going?

Don't ask questions. I'll tell you on our way there.

Okay. Let's go.

Wait.

You guys!

You guys left already?

Rocky, they left.

I feel sleepy.

I'll go to sleep first.

You should sleep early too.

Yang Lan.

Yang Lan?

Don't tell me it's broken?

If this is broken,

that means I cannot contact her anymore.

I'll be in trouble.

This Path of Alteration is so inconvenient.

I could've repaired it right away

if I conquered the Path of Enlightenment.

I don't think White Ape can fix this either.

And now, I can't train.

What if I can't contact

Yang Lan for real this time?

Rocky!

Where did that darn rock go?

Take this.

Let's continue.

Let's do it again.

Look closely this time.

Get up!

Get out of the way!

Get out of the way!

Newcomers.

I heard that you guys have a lot of gold essences.

Why didn't you guys greet

the bosses here after arriving?

Don't fight!

Don't fight!

I'll deal with them.

You? This will be easy.

I heard that you guys were generous.

I love generous demons like you all.

What about this?

Those inside the city collect two gold essences

for each demon you bring here.

But me?

For your entire bunch,

I'll only collect ten gold essences per month.

Pay me one year's worth in advance,

and I'll ensure your safety.

What do you think?

What are you laughing at?

Nothing.

I'll give you guys a cheaper price.

I'll only collect one gold essence

from each of you.

What did he say?

He said he'd collect one gold essence from each of us.

Don't kill me.

If I don't kill you now,

all those scoundrels

will cause trouble for me.

I...

I don't have time for you all.

Take his body outside.

Make sure the demons here see this.

Don't look.

Close your eyes.

They're asking for gold essence again?

That's right.

We need to pay them a lot of gold essences if we wish to enter the city.

We also have to pay them with gold essence

every month if we wish to live there.

Don't stress yourself out.

Look.

They're enjoying themselves here.

There's nothing bad about staying here,

don't you think?

However,

Wicked Dragon City engages the Heavenly Court in a battle every year.

The demons that live outside of the city

always perish.

I still have some gold essence left.

I got this from the alligator spirit

and his subordinates.

I don't know if it's enough.

That's not enough.

We don't even have enough to pay for one of us.

Moreover, look at the number of demons we have.

Rocky,

how can we get an audience with the Saurian?

I heard

that the Saurian would take those

she deemed fit under her wings.

Listen.

I think there's only one way

for us to meet the Saurian Demon.

What is it?

You can only meet her

if she wishes to meet you too.

You guys have to be prepared.

This might be a trap.

A trap?

It hasn't been set in stone yet.

There's always a way.

Will this work?

Rocky.

Where was the jade strip

I gave you?

Why didn't you answer me?

It's over here.

I think I broke it

by accident.

Did you know

how long I'd been looking for you?

How could you break such an important item?

An accident.

It was an accident.

An accident?

Come with me.

Leave this place immediately.

There's something off with the Saurian Demon.

You mustn't stay here any longer.

I know something's off with the Saurian.

Why are you still here then?

Were you waiting for me?

I'm already here.

We have to leave by tonight.

No.

We cannot leave yet.

Have you lost your mind?

Do you know where you are?

It's the Wicked Dragon Pond.

No one can leave this place alive.

And the Saurian Demon

has reached the Ascendance Phase too.

There's no need for you to stay here.

You don't want to leave?

If so, you can only wait for your demise.

The Heavenly Army has set off.

And heavenly patrolmen are everywhere.

The Heavenly Army has set off?

That's why I'm so anxious here.

And Gujing's army

will take over this place before long.

By then, you won't be able to leave, even if you want to.

Can you conceal their demonic energy?

So what if I can?

You brought such a huge pack with you.

How could they escape the Heavenly Army?

You can't protect them forever.

I have to take them with me.

Have you lost your mind?

Do you even know what you're saying?

How could you save Que'er

when you do things like this?

What about you then?

I thought you hated the Heavenly Army

and the Heavenly Emperor?

You said they were heartless and cruel.

If I do this,

I'll be the same as them!

You...

Fine.

You like to be a hero, don't you?

Fine. Suit yourself.

Here you go.

Take this when you're achieving a breakthrough.

This is a letter from Fengling.

Remember to reply to her.

Marshal's plan is proceeding smoothly in the Wicked Dragon Pond.

Marshal gave us an order.

Follow his plan

and be on standby.

Got it.

Have some water.

I'm the lieutenant general, Jinzhi.

Her Majesty wants to see you

right away.

Rocky,

be careful.

They didn't put me in shackles.

I'll be fine.

Come with me.

(With the azure sky above,)

(and the four continents below?)

(And, there are also statues of the Four Seas.)

(This Saurian Demon is pretty ambitious.)

You reached the Condensation Phase

before 50.

Not bad at all.

But did you know

that you murdered my men?

Don't be afraid.

It's useless for you to be afraid

if I want you dead.

Besides,

I never kill

in this hall,

no matter

how atrocious that person is.

It'll be troublesome

if their blood taints my sacred hall.

You're the one who killed the alligator spirit?

Yes.

I heard that you only used one move to kill him.

That's right.

You practice

the way of the deities.

Who is your master?

I told you before. It's useless to be afraid.

I don't like it

when people don't have

a dark history behind them.

Since you're not talking, I'll drop the question.

It's been a long time

since a demon was brave enough to look me in the eyes.

I like you.

To me,

it doesn't matter if he's dead.

I don't care at all.

It's just that no one

is governing the area now.

It'll cause me a lot of trouble.

What do you think?

Why don't you govern it for me?

How?

Suit yourself.

I just hope

that someone can put that area under control.

I hate dealing with lesser demons like them.

They stink,

and they argue like fools

every day.

I just hope

that someone can keep them in check.
