[The Legends of Changing Destiny]

Episode 25

You can stay here for now.

There's poor ventilation in the cave.

It's bad for your health.

I assigned Yisu to look after you.

King Rocky, I'll get some. Water first.

Okay.

Water Wall Pearl?

This pearl is formed when the dew on tall mountains

absorbs the essence of Heaven and Earth.

It's a miracle cure for wounds.

It can also boost your powers

if you consume it for a long time.

However, if you don't retain its shape.

with strong powers in time,

it'll burst.

And it's difficult to collect.

Where did you get this?

It's just an ordinary pearl.

aster ordinary pearl

I'm the mighty King Rocky.

There's nothing I cannot obtain.

Do you admire me now?

You're getting way ahead of yourself just because I complimented you.

I heard that you were going to exchange Xuansheng for celestial peaches.

That's right.

I'll get 100 of them.

100?

Do you think Gu Jing will agree to that?

With his rank, he can only take two celestial peaches.

There are at most 20 celestial peaches in the entire Nine Heavenly Gate.

You're asking for 100 of them?

He'll agree to it.

I'm sure he wants

to execute me right now.

He'll gather the celestial peaches somehow,

rescue General Xuansheng,

and launch a full-scale assault on Qilai Mountain.

Will he?

Yes.

I'm sure he's caught in a dilemma

when he encounters someone who does unorthodox things like you.

If General Xuansheng dies,

he won't be able to explain himself to his superiors and subordinates.

As long as there's a sliver of hope,

Gu Jing will try everything he can to save him.

He has been serving the Heavenly Court for many years.

I heard that he excels at political trickery too.

If I only ask him for one celestial peach,

he'll be suspicious of me, and he won't give it to me that easily.

Why are you looking for these many celestial peaches out of the blue?

Someone's dying, right?

If he doesn't give them to me,

I'll try to steal them.

I'll get you the celestial peaches somehow.

However,

there's a higher chance that Gu Jing will send the celestial peaches to us.

Thank you.

Nuojia?

King Rocky.

All of you may leave.

Yes.

Nuojia, what are you doing here?

Lan, what's wrong with you?

Is it about your lifespan?

It isn't time for the Gathering of Elites yet.

That's why I can't get my hands on any celestial peaches.

That's fine.

My father said

you killed 10,000 heavenly soldiers of the Nine Heavenly Gate,

and you even abducted Xuansheng. Is that true?

I guess.

You do admit it pretty quickly.

That old man summoned me all the way here

because of this matter.

He wanted me to come to Qilai Mountain and investigate the truth.

So, how do you intend

to proceed with your investigation?

Initially,

I intended to leave after having tea.

I'll just brush him off when I get back.

But now that I know you tortured Xuansheng,

isn't it too irresponsible for me to leave

after having tea?

Nuojia!

Stop!

Stop causing trouble for me.

He tortured Xuansheng.

I can't just leave

without doing anything.

Rock demon,

you demand 100 celestial peaches.

Did you include Lan's share?

He demanded them

for me.

Since you included her share,

I'll turn a blind eye to this

and let it pass.

But I have one condition.

You're not allowed to torture Xuansheng.

If not, I'll bring my troops here and annihilate you.

Since my father isn't around,

I have the most authority now.

I want the celestial peaches.

If the Nine Heavenly Gate Army wants to come, I'll give them a warm welcome.

As for Xuansheng,

as long as I get the celestial peaches,

his soul will stay intact.

Lan, I'm helping you out on account of our past ties.

It doesn't make sense for me to help the rock demon out.

In order to express my stand,

from now on, I won't provide you with intel

regarding the Heavenly Army.

I'll make a move first.

Let's have a showdown on the sea tomorrow, at the hour of Zi.

You're a coward if you don't turn up.

You still want to fight?

I was just kidding.

He's normal when he's in front of me.

But he turns into a kid in front of you.

I think he's used to it.

We weren't acknowledged by the other deities in the past.

We supported each other.

But this is fine too.

Since he'll stop providing me with intel regarding the Heavenly Army,

I won't need to feel guilty.

You have to go easy on Xuansheng.

After all, you owe Nuojia a favor.

What's on your mind?

I was thinking

that he wouldn't be able to show off like this

if I had the Sacred Nine-Dragon Staff.

If we had fought,

I think his Purple Flame Spear

wouldn't have been able to win.

Sacred Nine-Dragon Staff?

It's at the Mirror Sea.

Once Gu Jing rescues Xuansheng with the celestial peaches,

he'll surely send his troops here.

He'll launch a full-scale assault.

For the battle with Nine Heavenly Gate Army,

we must prepare an adequate amount of firearms.

Lippy,

urge them to speed up the firearm production.

Yes.

Kidnapper Lv.

King Rocky.

Get me all of the gold essences

that Qilai Mountain has.

I need to use them.

All of them?

Tell your king

that I wish to purchase something from him.

Remember that.

Tell him that I'm purchasing something.

Yes, sir. I'll report to him immediately.

Greetings, King Rocky.

Nice to meet you.

I'm truly sorry about this.

Our king went to the Heavenly Court to meet his friends.

He hasn't returned yet.

He's not around again?

If so,

can you make the call when he's not around?

Yes, I can, for menial decisions.

What do you mean by menial decisions?

King Rocky, I can make the call if you wish to have some fruits

or seafood.

What about important decisions?

King Rocky, you must be kidding.

I'm just a lowly subject.

How could I make important decisions?

Fine.

Get me someone who can make important decisions.

Understood?

Understood.

I'm glad you understand.

Don't try to brush me off.

I dare not do so!

Go now.

Okay.

Let's go.

That animal!

First, he sent us six badges of the Yao Palace's guards.

Now, he has slain 10,000 heavenly soldiers.

And now, he found his way to the Mirror Sea Yao Palace.

He's too arrogant for his own good.

Father, let me deal with him.

Even if anything goes wrong,

at least there's space to turn it around.

Greetings, King Rocky. How have you been doing?

Greetings, Fourth Princess.

They finally got someone influential here.

I dare not say so.

Usually, I deal with menial affairs

on my father's behalf.

King Rocky, I don't know

if I can help you to achieve your goal today.

If I can't,

we have no choice but to wait for Father's return.

The Sea King went to the Heavenly Court.

One day in Heaven is equal to one year on Earth.

He won't return soon.

However, I'm in urgent need of that item.

Your Highness, what should I do?

That's not true.

Father went

to the Heavenly Court

to invite the deities to Yao Palace.

King Rocky, please join us

if you're free after two weeks.

Inviting the deities to Yao Palace, huh?

Your Highness, you may look elegant and dignified,

but you're pretty eloquent yourself.

King Rocky, I don't quite get what you mean.

I'll get straight to the point.

I want something from you guys.

I won't take it for free.

I even prepared gold essences for it.

If you think this is not enough,

just write me an IOU. I'll pay up next time.

People purchase treasures

with money upfront.

No one writes an IOU for that.

Are you saying

that you don't trust my character?

I want

Mirror Sea Yao Palace's Sacred Nine-Dragon Staff.

Sacred Nine-Dragon Staff?

King Rocky, I'm afraid this sum

isn't enough.

It isn't enough?

Your Highness, give me a price then.

This item is priceless.

Priceless?

You're telling me

that the rusty staff is priceless?

You're belittling me, aren't you?

Naturally, that rusty staff

isn't worth any gold essence.

King Rocky, if you do like it,

I'll gift it to you.

Are you serious?

However,

I have no idea what price.

the combination of that rusty staff

and you can fetch.

If I must say,

it'll be priceless.

What do you mean by that?

You see, I'm giving you the Sacred Nine-Dragon Staff.

What if I submit a memorial to the Nine Heavenly Palace?

King Rocky, have you thought of the consequences?

So, you took a detour to threaten me, huh?

However,

there are several solutions to this.

If the disappearance of the staff

doesn't land you in trouble,

it'll land me in trouble.

What do you mean by that?

The Sacred Nine-Dragon Staff

is dusty and rusty indeed.

However, all deities know

that it's in Mirror Sea Yao Palace.

King Rocky, if you got your hands on it,

and I didn't submit a memorial to the higher-ups,

what if you engaged the Heavenly Court in a fight

and pulled out your weapon?

Tell me.

How should we explain ourselves by then?

Therefore,

someone influential here

must take one for the team

and be the scapegoat.

It's unfilial for children to let parents take the blame.

Therefore, I have no choice but to be the scapegoat.

King Rocky, how much do you think I'm worth?

If I say you're priceless,

it'll be pretentious of me.

In my opinion,

Your Highness, you're worth. a hundred million gold essences.

King Rocky, thank you for the compliment.

Your Highness,

are you saying that you agree with my evaluation?

I dare not do so.

You dare not?

That's fine.

I was afraid that you might raise the price further.

Get me a piece of paper and a pen.

Yes.

Here.

King Rocky, what are you...

This is the interest I'm paying in advance.

Please hand this to the Mirror Sea Dragon King.

Okay.

Fourth Princess, you're a genius indeed.

You're much better than the half-baked strategist

I have in Qilai Mountain.

It's decided then.

Hundred million gold essence.

I'll hire you as my strategist for a hundred million gold essences.

You should be the scapegoat

for the disappearance of the Sacred Nine-Dragon Staff too.

However, I need to buy it on credit for now.

Don't worry.

I'll definitely repay my debt

in the future.

I don't want to be your strategist.

You want me to work for you? In your dreams.

That rock demon is abducting Her Highness!

You thug!

King Rocky!

He's finally here.

What do you mean by this?

Let's drop that topic first. Let's talk about something else.

I heard that you went to the Heavenly Court.

Why did you come back all of a sudden?

Did you trick me?

I dare not!

I dare not do so!

You dare not do so?

You look pretty daring to me. I'm utterly embarrassed here.

I came to visit you with good intentions,

but you had to trick me like this.

This hurts my dignity a lot.

It hurts so much that my heart is broken, you know?

Ouch.

Tell me then.

How should you compensate me for it?

I've appraised your daughter.

She's worth a hundred million gold essence.

She has already agreed to it.

You have the IOU with you too.

Tell me.

How much should my dignity be worth?

You don't want to give me a price?

I'll give you a price then.

It's worth one billion gold essences.

What? Is it too pricey for you?

If so, why didn't you ask me about the price

before you humiliated me?

What should I do now?

You've already humiliated me.

Do you think your palace is worth a billion gold essence?

You can have the Sacred Nine-Dragon Staff

for free.

Who said I wanted it?

Your daughter promised

to give it to me.

What should you do after that?

I will not report this to the Heavenly Court.

If I do so, thunder will strike me down.

You're hiding in the sea!

Do you think thunder can reach you here?

I swear to the heavens

that I won't report this to the Heavenly Court.

If I do,

I'll be condemned to the lowest level of the Underworld

and suffer eternal punishment!

That's a vicious vow.

But I still don't trust you.

What about this?

I'll bring your daughter back

to Qilai Mountain for a century and make her my strategist.

She'll devise strategies for us.

I guess she can be considered a hostage.

If the Heavenly Court questions you,

at least you can use her as an excuse, right?

This won't do.

Say that again?

If so, I have no choice

but to call you Father-in-law now.

Seems like you're not willing to let me marry your daughter.

Are you belittling me?

Come.

Father-in-law, please get up.

Father.

I'll feel guilty if you do this.

I've already promised to give you the Sacred Nine-Dragon Staff.

And

I'll leave with you.

My girl!

You mustn't do so!

You mustn't agree to it!

Father, I'll be fine.

He doesn't dare to mess with me.

He's a demon. And he owns nothing.

What did you say?

Let go of him!

Your Highness, please wait here.

Once I retrieve the Sacred Nine-Dragon Staff,

we can return to Qilai Mountain together.

So, this is the Sacred Nine-Dragon Staff.

I don't care if it's Venerable Master Wuji or Master.

Today, I'll fulfill your wishes.

What's with the gust?

What's under it?

That's the mouth of Mirror Sea!

You'll cause a tsunami!

When you look at it this close,

it does look huge.

Father!

(I haven't made it to Qilai Mountain.)

(I haven't met Rocky yet)

(I can't afford to die here!)

This is the Sacred Nine-Dragon Staff.

It does live up to its name as a divine artifact.

Your Highness,

I'm done.

We can depart now.

So, you're saying

that you went to Mirror Sea Yao Palace without my knowledge,

stole the Sacred Nine-Dragon Staff, caused a tsunami,

and abducted Her Highness here as a hostage?

I didn't steal it.

I wrote an IOU.

Moreover, the Sea King didn't tell me

it would cause a tsunami.

How could this be my fault?

Is there any difference?

Is there no difference?

He said he abducted me here to be his wife.

Hold on...

What?

I was just saying.

It was a joke.

You were just saying?

I guess I was happy for nothing.

You even called my father Father-in-law.

Are you sure you were just saying?

Father-in-law?

So, you were after that all alone?

So, you were after that all along?

That's not it!

I just abducted her back to be our hostage.

A hostage, you understand?

Hostage, huh?

How dare you call her a hostage when you call her father Father-in-law?

How dare you!

You mustn't throw that!

Not this?

What about this one?

How dare you call him Father-in-law?

Get out!

Listen to my explanation.

What are you doing?

I want to...

I want to take the staff.

Leave immediately!

Calm down. Don't be angry.

It's bad for your health.

Just leave already!

All right!

I'll leave right now!

Go away!

How dare you!

Master, calm down.

This is infuriating.

Hmph.

It's all your fault.

What has this got to do with me?

My dear, I was just stating facts.

My dear?

Don't you think it's chaotic enough here?

You still want to be mean to me?

Mean? When it comes to being mean,

King Rocky,

I cannot hold a candle to you.

Anyway, I don't plan

on being your strategist.

However, you should

figure out how to admit your mistake

in front of Yang Lan before you take me as your wife.

Who said you could move around?

Don't worry.

I'm just taking a stroll.

I won't run away.

You have

the goods on Mirror Sea Yao Palace.

I can't run away, even if I want to.

Besides,

no place is safer

than being under Yang Lan's watch now.

Am I right?

What a drag.

But I need her to keep Mirror Sea Yao Palace in check.

(How dare you drag Mirror Sea Yao Palace)

(and Father down with you?)

(I'll enjoy my time messing with you.)

Master, don't be angry.

I heard from Lippy

that he only abducted Fourth Princess to our strategist.

Mr. Lv is still angry about this.

Go.

Tell Lippy to build a chamber next to ours.

Fourth Princess can stay there.

Well...

I heard that King Rocky assigned the upper level

of Feijuan Chamber to her.

He said he would keep a close eye on her.

I don't think that's appropriate.

Tell him to find me

if he doesn't agree with it.

That darned rock.

If he dares to try anything funny,

I'll skin him alive!

This is so infuriating.

What is that?

Let's go.

Was it a tsunami?

She's in the Crystallization Phase?

Wait.

The Crystallization Phase?

Duanmu,

tell Rocky

that we found the person he was looking for.

All right.

Who's that?

I've never seen her before.

Yeah.

King Rocky is here.

It should be the tsunami.

The tsunami?

What's under this?

That's the mouth of Mirror Sea!

You'll cause a tsunami!

Fengling almost died because of me.

She's fine.

Find Yang Lan

and acquire some revitalizing elixirs from her.

Empty the room beside my chamber.

Understood.

Master.

Master?

What's on your mind?

I was thinking about something.

Did I go overboard just now?

I threw a huge tantrum

in front of you, Fourth Princess,

and him.

I think I embarrassed him.

Yeah.

King Rocky is the master

of Qilai Mountain now.

A lot of demons depend on him to survive.

He wreaked havoc in the Mirror Sea

and abducted their princess.

Right after he came back, he was scolded by you.

It'll be embarrassing if news of this gets out.

But he did cross the line too.

How did he end up like this?

He's doing whatever he wants after acquiring power.

That makes him the same as those guys in Heaven.

King Rocky is different from them.

He didn't need to do so

if it weren't for Qilai Mountain.

Besides,

since when did you see him

create trouble out of nothing?

However, King Rocky does have a point.

Sometimes, it's disadvantageous for us

to be too reasonable.

Moreover, we're demons.

We'll be digging our own graves

if we try to reason as humans do.

Master,

don't worry.

King Rocky won't be angry at you.

Really?

Yes.

King Rocky is actually easygoing.

I can be sure of that.

Moreover,

since when has he been angry at you?

How would you know?

He was angry at me before.

Say,

did he abduct Fourth Princess

because of ulterior motives?

That's not it.

King Rocky isn't someone like that.

Don't you think so?

What are you doing?

This?

I'm doing embroidery.

We took in a bunch of demons last time.

I found it in their belongings.

They had the entire set.

They had silk, fabrics,

and all kinds of needlework materials.

It was useless to keep them in the cave anyway.

That's why King Rocky gave them to me.

Why don't you

give me that?

In exchange, I'll give you an artifact.

This one?

No.

I was just thinking

that I have nothing to do anyway.

It's good if I can spend my time

doing something like this.

I'm your master.

Don't tell me you're going to keep this for yourself?

Here you go.

How do I do this?

It's harder than casting a magic array.

Master, don't be impatient.

You can't master embroidery

in one day.

But it looked simple.

when you did it.

It wasn't simple at all.

It took me a few days to master it.

I'll conquer you eventually.

Yang Lan,

Rocky told me

to acquire some revitalizing elixirs from you.

What happened?

The girl named Fengling,

whom Rocky had been looking for,

was found unconscious on the beach.

Master, are you okay?

Is she the person King Rocky told you to keep an eye out for?

I think so.

What's wrong?

What's her name?

Who is she?

I don't know who she is.

But I've heard of her name first.

Her name is Fengling.

Fengling?

Fengling?

This lass,

she did travel all the way here just to see me.

She's almost as stubborn as me.

I'm sure you've suffered a lot.

I'm glad that you're here.

I'm so glad.

Now,

I don't need you to protect me anymore.

Remember what I told you on that night?

I wasn't joking.

I will show you what it means to be invincible.

I will show you that no one can bully us.

And one day,

we demons will have our own wonderland.

Rocky?

Rocky, is this you?

It's me.

Do you feel better?

I thought I could never see you again,

Rocky!

All right now.

I'm glad that you're here.

I can see you at any time now, my silly little sister.

Master,

why don't I deliver the elixir to them?

Yang Lan.

Greetings.

Have a seat.

Tingxin,

are you used to life in Qilai Mountain?

The scenery is impeccable here.

Of course I'm used to it.

Yang Lan, I heard that your body is weak.

The Mirror Sea Yao Palace had a collection of elixirs.

I brought some with me.

I brought them here after I was reminded of them.

Thank you.

Tingxin, you don't need to be this courteous.

That stupid rock

was too reckless.

I'll tell him to send you home one day.

No need for that.

Although I'm a hostage,

King Rocky never made things difficult for me.

If I head back now,

Father will be put on the spot.

He won't be able to explain himself

to the Heavenly Court about the Sacred Nine-Dragon Staff.

Tingxin, you're sensible indeed.

Thank you.

Yang Lan,

do you know who Fengling

is to King Rocky?

She's a disciple of the Northern Yaoguang Cave.

She's the fourth disciple of Qingfeng,

a disciple of Grandmaster Jiekong.

Speaking of which, she has the same nickname as your title.

She was also known as the Fourth Princess.

However,

she's not a princess.

If that's the case,

she's King Rocky's martial niece.

I guess.

If that's the case,

why was King Rocky so...

The demons in Qilai Mountain

thought their queen was here.

Before this, God Erhai thought

there was something between you and King Rocky.

It must've been a misunderstanding.

I believed in the rumor

when Cunxin told me about it.

Seems like

I have to apologize to you, Yang Lan.

The demons in Qilai Mountain

went to see her

after hearing about the news.

However, Yang Lan, you were the only one who hasn't gone there.

They were debating it fiercely.

If this continues, I'm afraid...

I'll head there right now.

Hurry up!

Hurry up!

Beichen!

I've been waiting or you.

I've been waiting for you.

You guys are haunting us to no end.

Surrender now,

and I'll spare your soul.

Surrender now,

and you may avoid death!

Brother,

I don't want to die.

You don't want to die?

I'll give you a chance.

If you surrender now,

the evil deeds you've done won't impact your next life.

If you don't surrender,

I'll make your soul perish!

My foot!

To heck with your next life!

I'll fight you until the end!

Divine barrier!

Up!

Brother!

Marshal,

I request permission to slay the Six Demon Kings

to avenge Tiannei

and rid the world of evil!

Kill the Six Demon Kings.

and rid the world of evil!

Kill them!

You scoundrels!

My future father-in-law said

he wouldn't allow his daughter to marry me if I didn't come here.

Follow me!

Let's leave!

(Seems like)

(the Millennium Sea King still acknowledged his identity as a demon)

(more than his deityhood.)

(I've miscalculated my step.)

Let them go.

Marshal,

why did we let them go?

Even if they were sworn brothers,

they wouldn't come back to save the others.

Instead of helping them to get rid of each other,

why don't we make them doubt each other

and start an internal struggle?

Tianfu, Tianren,

relay my orders.

All members, head to the Millennium Yao Palace.

- Yes, Marshal. - Yes, Marshal.

Brother!

Boss!

What's the matter?

How did you guys manage to escape this quickly?

For some reason,

they let us go.

That's right.

They let you guys go?

- Yes. - Yes.

Could it be

that they let you guys go on purpose?

This is not the place for us to speak.

We should leave.

All right, let's go.

Nuan.

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

Don't worry.

You guys have finally returned.

Thank you, Sea King.

We would've been done for

if Guitou hadn't saved us

in the nick of time.

In my opinion,

I'm afraid you guys would've been annihilated.

You!

The Tianhe Navy wanted to exhaust you guys

with the human wave tactic.

Did you think I wanted to save you guys?

I would have never done so

if it weren't for Father-in-law's order.

I'm sure they've increased my bounty in the Heavenly Court.

Sea King, thank you for saving us.

Don't mention it.

Don't just thank him.

Show us some sincerity.

Now, we cannot return to the Millennium Yao Palace.

You should definitely repay our favor.

What other valuables do you guys carry?

Show them to me.

Shut up!

So what if the palace is gone?

I was friends with them for several centuries.

Now that they're in trouble,

we should help them out

naturally.

My king.

Greetings, my kings.

I've finally found you all.

Spare the formalities.

Most of the demons

have either died or escaped from the battle.

It's rare for you to find us.

Go and take care of my sister.

Yes.

You wretch! Were you trying to kill me?

I won't do it again!

Again?
