[The Legends of Changing Destiny]

Episode 27

Investigate

the weapon the rock demon is wielding.

Yes.

What did he do just now?

What's going on?

He swatted Nuojia away even when he was at his full power.

What kind of power does he have?

That's the Nine-Dragon Staff.

The Nine-Dragon Staff?

This is bad.

The weapon the rock demon is wielding

has suppressed Nuojia's power.

You injure me without taking my life.

And you're going easy on me too.

Go back.

This fight is meaningless.

Yang Lan told me not to take your life.

This fight has no meaning whatsoever.

Rock demon!

Die!

Stop!

Stand back.

Father.

We serve different masters.

If we encounter each other again,

I will not go easy on you.

Farewell.

The power of this rock demon

has exceeded my expectation.

He's actually this powerful?

Third Prince,

are you okay?

It's no wonder he defeated General Xuansheng

on Qilai Mountain himself.

Seems like we need to adjust our plan.

We have to launch a sneak attack

and take him down

while he's busy engaging them.

Seems like I've underestimated you.

Lord Gu, don't say that.

You wouldn't have brought your treasured weapon here if you underestimated me.

I guess I would be done for

if you overestimated me then.

I'll engage you in a fight today.

Show me how capable you are.

What a shameless man.

Didn't they agree to have a solo fight?

He's not going by the books.

Let's attack.

How many people do you think we need to send in?

If you guys go now,

do you think the Nine Heavenly Gate Army

will just sit idly by?

He doesn't need any help.

He just lacks a chance.

Lippy.

Present.

Bring several of our best men with you.

Wait for my signal

and prepare to act.

Yes.

Froggy, let's go.

You must be General Zhaosheng.

That's right.

I've been waiting for you.

This is bad!

He's targeting General Zhaosheng!

Zhaosheng,

do you know how long I've waited for you?

But why?

Why me?

Because of what you did with the Wicked Dragon Pond.

Wicked Dragon Pond?

Die!

Get out of the way!

Don't blame me for showing you no mercy

if you try to save him.

What grudge do you have against him?

Why are you doing this?

You're asking for it.

Escape with Zhaosheng.

Noted.

Attack.

Got it.

Everyone, get ready.

You could've activated your Glazed Pagoda

if I had been five chi nearer.

Lord Gu,

I guess you're unlucky.

What do you want?

Make your army retreat.

We can talk after that.

Can you take me as your hostage instead?

Did I hear wrongly?

According to what I know,

you two weren't the closest as father and son.

I do dislike him.

However, I don't want him to be captured

because of my mistake.

Take me as a hostage instead.

As long as I'm in your hand,

I can promise

that he won't attack Qilai Mountain.

I can promise not to kill him.

But taking you as my hostage instead?

That's a no from me.

You're a good son.

I want to grant you and your father a happy reunion too.

However, we have different stands.

Sorry about this.

We won!

King Rocky had defeated Gujing!

He captured Gujing, Keeper of Pagoda, alive.

What now?

What do you guys plan to do?

Do you guys still plan to take down the rock demon?

Guitouchong.

What exactly do you want?

Which side are you on?

The rock demon must be killed.

He won because of his trick.

And he had help too.

Do you think he'll be a match for us

if all seven of us engage him at once?

That's right.

Is that so?

Do all of you think the same?

There are no doubts.

We can conquer Qilai Mountain

if all seven of us attack at once.

However, if we kill him and take over Qilai Mountain,

we'll have to defend ourselves against the Heavenly Army.

Is that trade even worth it?

I admit, there are good resources on Qilai Mountain.

However,

you have to see

whether you're capable of utilizing it first.

Big Brother!

We mustn't hesitate now!

We have to kill the rock demon!

In my opinion,

this rock demon is pretty good.

He's strong and devious.

He's not an ordinary demon.

If he can hold off the Heavenly Army himself,

why should we risk our lives

to conquer Qilai Mountain?

We can

get him as an ally instead.

I can talk to him.

All right.

Guitou, we'll follow your instruction.

Just now, I...

I almost

gave him a hand.

He used the killing intent he targeted at Zhaosheng

to attract other people's attention

and attacked Gujing when he let down his guard.

His cunning plan has surpassed

most cultivators on the Path of Enlightenment.

Senior,

it's no wonder Master said

Tenth Martial Brother

was the smartest disciple

among all in Northern Yaoguang Cave.

Junior Lingyun,

you're actually praising his intellect?

This

is rare indeed.

King Rocky, congratulations on your victory!

King Rocky's might knows no bound!

No one in the world can surpass you!

Enough. Stop licking my boots.

Everyone, don't be afraid.

I was just passing by.

I'm a demon too.

My name is Guitouchong.

King Rocky of Qilai Mountain,

I've long heard of your name.

I came here

to make acquaintances with you.

The Archaean Demon, Guitouchong, huh?

Yang Lan,

take Gujing away.

Let's leave.

Let's go.

The Six Demon Kings are nearby.

After them.

Yes.

Surround him.

What do you mean by this?

Do you think you can stop me

with these peons?

Search the area! Under King Rocky's order,

kill on sight!

The rock demon is sending his men after us

right after Guitouchong went to see him.

I'm sure he betrayed us.

Big Brother, let's do it!

All right

Big Brother let's' go.

Let's go.

But Big Brother...

Let's go!

Gujing was captured.

Guitouchong appeared at Qilai Mountain.

The Six Demon Kings intend to form an alliance with the rock demon.

Tianqin,

continue your scouting.

Yes, Marshal.

Returning to Qilai Mountain to gather his forces,

obtaining the Nine-Dragon Staff from Mirror Sea Yao Palace,

obtaining the assistance

of Yang Yan and Yang Lan of Guanjiangkou,

obtaining gunpowder and artifacts

of Wankong Mountain's Nine Beacons of Light,

and capturing Saint Wuding,

the rock demon planned out

his every step.

He defeated Xuansheng and demanded 100 celestial peaches.

He defeated Gujing

but didn't engage the Nine Heavenly Gate head-on.

This rock demon

isn't resisting the Heavenly Court upfront.

However, he's defending his position.

What does he want?

What exactly

is the rock demon up to?

Time.

The rock demon needs more time.

He wishes to unite

all demons

to resist the Heavenly Court.

Now,

even Guitouchong has joined them.

If we don't eradicate him

before he's fully prepared,

the demons on Qilai Mountain

might become

more terrifying than the Six Demon Kings.

Qilai Mountain is in Penglai Kingdom.

Although it isn't under

the Tianhe Army's jurisdiction,

we have to eradicate the rock demon

no matter who stands in our way.

Tianren, Tianfu, Tianheng.

Change the direction of our fleet.

We'll head straight for Qilai Mountain.

Yes, Marshal!

The Nine-Dragon Staff?

That's a rare divine artifact.

I'm done with the greeting.

See you.

Let him go.

We've already achieved our goal.

There's no need to go after him.

You sowed discord among them successfully.

Initially, the Six Demon Kings wanted.

to reap the benefit after the fight was over.

But now,

they got their butts handed to them instead.

Rocky.

Where are the Six Demon Kings?

They've already left Qilai Mountain.

Nuojia seeks an audience.

You may speak.

I sealed his senses away

so that he wouldn't feel any pain.

He can't hear you.

What do I have to do for you to release him?

Didn't I say that we could talk

after your army retreated?

I was keeping an eye on you guys.

You didn't even move your fleet.

Although I have the highest rank

in the Nine Heavenly Gate Army,

I'm not the deputy commander.

It's General Rensheng.

He won't agree

to pull back before you release Father.

That means you guys want to confront me until the end, huh?

You!

You wish to fight?

We cannot retreat.

Once we retreat,

the Heavenly Court will notice our movement.

By then, they'd know

that my father was captured.

Even if they don't remove him from his position,

he'll be suspended.

The Heavenly Court will send someone else to take over the Nine Heavenly Gate.

They might even enlist the help of the Tianhe Army to eradicate you guys.

If that happens,

it'll be detrimental to you, Qilai Mountain,

and my father.

If we stay here,

we can at least feel relieved.

If we leave,

we don't know what you'll do to my father.

I don't care if Qilai Mountain is eradicated or not.

I just want my father to return safely.

That's all I have to say.

Your bargaining chip isn't omnipotent.

I hope you can think about what to do from now

and come up with an acceptable result

for both of us.

If you want weapons,

elixirs, or golden essences,

I can deliver them to you right now.

Even if we don't have enough of them in our warehouse,

I'll get them for you

even if it means I have to pawn my Purple Flame Spear.

You cannot get the elixir I need,

even if you pawn your Purple Flame Spear.

I don't lack ordinary elixirs.

And

if Gujing leaves now,

Qilai Mountain will be in danger again.

Your elixirs will mean nothing to me by then.

What exactly do you want then?

That's all I can offer.

It's useless to demand anything more than this!

Actually, you're pretty impressive.

Even now,

you never uttered a single word

about how you were indebted to me and Yang Lan.

I never wanted to help you.

I only wanted to help Lan.

That's my duty.

With that said,

we can have a chat.

I'll only release Gujing on one condition.

That is if you guys surround Qilai Mountain.

Surround Qilai Mountain constantly?

That's right.

He means

that we'll engage him constantly

and take turns to attack and defend.

We have to make it like we're caught in a tough situation.

At the same time, we can monitor my father.

He'll release Father

when we retreat.

He's trying to buy time here.

As long as we keep attacking Qilai Mountain,

the Heavenly Court won't get suspicious.

If so, the other armies won't intervene.

Buy time?

How much time can he buy with this?

That rock demon has no foresight at all.

No.

I think that rock demon

does have some foresight.

If he's bringing up such conditions,

I assume he has an ulterior motive.

An ulterior motive?

What is he after?

Can he find enough forces

to defend against the Heavenly Army

that will be backing us up soon in such a short time?

It's hard to say.

There are many possibilities.

He might be also trying

to delay this for as long as possible.

For example, he might delay this for several years.

When we have to retreat,

he might break his promise

and keep Lord Gu as his hostage.

That's impossible.

Since he made a promise,

he wouldn't break it.

Third Prince,

are you sure that rock demon is trustworthy?

He said it with certainty.

I don't think he'll break his promise.

Third Prince,

I will report this

to the Nine Heavenly Palace immediately.

You mustn't do so.

His Majesty will never agree to the conditions he brought up.

If so, Father will be in danger.

We can only

figure something out by ourselves.

I agree with Third Prince.

Let's agree to his condition

and pretend to surround Qilai Mountain for now.

We can come up with a plan after that.

Marshal,

the Nine Heavenly Gate Fleet's

entrapping formation is full of gaps.

Are they trying to capture the rock demon

or help him?

Tianheng,

send all of our fleets to monitor Qilai Mountain.

Tianren,

proceed according to our plan.

- Yes, Marshal. - Yes, Marshal.

Tianfu,

hand this secret order to General Flying Dragon.

Tell him to deliver it to His Majesty.

Yes, Marshal.

That rock demon is extraordinary indeed.

The Nine-Dragon Staff was formidable.

Everyone,

why are you all keeping quiet?

Come.

Good job, sir.

Here.

Have some liquor.

Take a break.

By the way,

how did the negotiation with the rock demon go?

It didn't go well.

There was no negotiation.

It's poisoned?

So,

you guys are after my life, huh?

We were hunted

right after you made contact with him.

Don't tell me you didn't betray us?

What agreement did you reach with him?

Don't tell me

you'll behead all six of us

and deliver our heads to him as a welcome gift?

(This is bad.)

(I was wondering why)

(he allowed me to leave that easily.)

(It turned out that he wasn't after my life.)

(He wanted to drive a wedge between us.)

(I came back without any wounds)

(after making contact with them.)

(That makes me more suspicious.)

(I fell for that darned demon's trick.

Since you guys don't trust me,

let's part ways here.

Stop right there!

You want to leave?

Just you wish!

Stop!

Father-in-law?

What are you doing here?

I heard everything.

Demon King,

thank you

for looking after us all this while.

Since you guys were trying to take his life,

I'm afraid we couldn't co-exist in peace

in the future.

I think we should part ways here

so that my ties with the Demon King

wouldn't be ruined

in the event that something bad happens.

Once I found a place to stay,

I'll ask Guitouchong to deliver

a letter to you, Demon King.

Are you okay

with that?

Fine.

Sea King, since you insist on leaving,

won't keep you around.

Okay.

Sea King,

please pardon us for the misunderstanding.

We'll surely make it up to you

in the future if we have the chance.

Yeah, as if.

Before this, you said you wanted to repay his favor.

Such ingrates.

What did you say?

All right.

I shall

take my leave.

Pardon me for not seeing you off.

Okay, let's go.

Big Brother,

are we letting them leave just like this?

If they do join Qilai Mountain now,

they'll be the cause of our worries in the future!

I think

we should slay them now.

Shut up!

So what if Guitouchong does join Qilai Mountain?

What can we do about it?

Millennium Sea King instructed him

to save us back then.

We didn't save him.

We owe him our lives,

not the other way around.

Their business

has nothing to do with us.

Now, Qilai Mountain

is under the Nine Heavenly Gate's attack.

They'll run out of ration eventually.

Right now,

this is a chance

for us to ally ourselves with King Rocky.

But Big Brother...

Shut up.

Bai Su.

Greetings, my lord.

Head to Qilai Mountain, Penglai Kingdom,

and negotiate a deal with.

King Rocky using the elixirs and artifacts we have.

This time, you'll be fully in charge of it.

There's only one condition.

Close the deal.

Go now.

Qilai Mountain is surrounded.

It's tough to seek food.

We could cultivate some plots in Qilai Mountain.

On the one hand, we can grow food.

On the other hand, we can grow some magical herbs.

Rocky,

Guitouchong has returned.

King Rocky has arrived.

Greetings, King Rocky.

What's the matter?

It's only been a few days,

yet you're back.

Don't tell me you fell in love with this place?

I heard that you have celestial peaches here.

Celestial peaches?

Where did you hear that from?

That doesn't matter.

The news source should be reliable.

Let's cut to the chase here.

You should stop denying it too.

What?

Do you want one?

Yes.

I wish to request one from you.

Father!

It's for the Millennium Sea King.

He's dying.

How long does he have left?

I captured some cultivators of the Path of Enlightenment

to give him a diagnosis.

They said

he has at most two months left.

Father!

This is an emergency indeed.

However,

celestial peaches

are very valuable.

You and I aren't that close.

What do you intend to give me in exchange?

What do you desire?

There's nothing I desire in particular.

Let me put it this way. You cannot provide me

with the things I desire.

You're surrounded by the Nine Heavenly Gate Army, right?

I can capture Nuojia for you.

I can even capture the four divine generals for you.

What do you think?

I'll set off right away

if you agree to it.

I just have one question for you.

Ask away.

So, those six fellows...

I've already parted ways with them.

Bring the Millennium Sea King

and his daughter to their chambers.

Give me one day to consider your offer.

This won't do!

We're out of time!

Don't do it!

Don't be reckless!

Please.

Let's go!

Come on!

So,

will you give him the celestial peach?

I'm considering it.

He said he parted ways with the Six Demon Kings.

I'm 60 percent confident that he's telling the truth.

That means it's more than half.

If that's the case,

there's no reason for us

to make him return to their side.

And he's much stronger

than the rest.

If we can convince him to join us,

it'll benefit us greatly.

Our forces will be greatly enhanced

if we can convince him to join us.

However, if he joins us under such a condition,

he'll show no loyalty toward us.

Even if he's powerful,

if he's not loyal to us,

he'll be a calamity to us.

And it's strong enough

to ruin our years' of effort.

I heard from my sister-in-law

that the King of White Sea gave the Millennium Sea King a celestial peach

as their betrothal gift.

The Millenium Sea King went back on the marriage promise.

That's why he returned

the celestial peach to him.

If that's the case,

Guitouchong caused the Millennium Sea King

to lose the celestial peach indirectly.

That's right.

And

Guitouchong is deeply in love with the Millennium Princess.

If we can obtain his loyalty

with a celestial peach,

it should be good for us.

At least, it won't be detrimental to us.

Got it.

Father!

Did you agree to it?

I guess.

What's the condition?

There's no condition.

No?

I'm King Rocky of Qilai Mountain.

Greetings, Millennium Sea King, Millennium Princess.

Greetings, King Rocky.

Sorry for the disturbance.

We must've bothered you.

A celestial peach?

Sea King,

this celestial peach

is meant for you.

This...

This is a genuine celestial peach!

I do not deserve this reward.

This celestial peach

is too valuable.

I don't deserve it.

I don't deserve it at all!

I cannot take it back now.

It already belongs to your son-in-law.

To be honest,

celestial peaches

are very valuable indeed.

However, your son-in-law

has already agreed to join Qilai Mountain.

Since he's one of us now,

I'll treat this celestial peach

as the betrothal gift

I'm giving to his beloved.

He can make up for it

when he renders merit in the future.

My dear,

is

this truly your betrothal gift for me?

Yes, it is.

It's your betrothal gift.

Yeah.

Chong!

Father-in-law,

what did you call me just now?

My child,

I called you Chong.

Father-in-law!

This is?

Sea King, I heard

that you owed the King of White Seal another celestial peach.

If that's the case,

we shall deal with this issue

on your behalf.

Come.

Help me up!

Thank you, King Rocky!

Father!

Sea King,

I didn't do anything.

I was just following your son-in-law's instructions.

If you wish to thank someone,

you should thank him.

It was my betrothal gift to you.

I have nothing to offer.

You can take these two celestial peaches as my betrothal gift.

Since the White Sea Yao Palace was able to obtain one celestial peach,

naturally, I have to obtain two.

Nuan mustn't suffer any grievances when it comes to our marriage.

No. Father-in-law, in the future,

I'll provide you with

all the celestial peaches you need.

My virtuous son-in-law,

I always

thought you were

a heartless person

and that you would be a terrible husband.

I never expected you

to be this thoughtful

and forgiving.

To think

that I was picking on you before this.

Sorry about that.

Allow me to apologize to you.

Father!

Father-in-law,

I don't deserve your bow.

You raised such a good daughter

so that I could marry her.

It's all pa of my duty.

Please don't put me on the spot here.

Please get up.

Chong,

you must remember

King Rocky's kindness for all eternity.

I will never forget it.

In the future, I'll do whatever King Rocky

wants me to do, even if it means

I have to risk my life.

(This rock demon is cunning indeed.)

Nuan.

Father.

Help Father-in-law to lie down.

Father, lie down.

All right. I'll leave if there's nothing else.

Let me see you off.

You're such a glib talker.

Since when did I say that I would join Qilai Mountain?

What?

Doesn't it sound nicer when I put it that way?

It's not that.

I was offering my services to you at a cheap price.

But after what you'd said,

you made it seem like I was hugely indebted to you.

If I try to go against you,

I'm sure that old man

will execute me on the spot.

Rocky,

you're so good at bribing people.

Well...

Have I managed to bribe you then?

I guess I have.

That's good.

I'm sure Rocky

is a practitioner of the Path of Enlightenment.

(That Brainless Chen,)

(he actually found out that Father was captured by Qilai Mountain.)

(What does he plan to do by coming here now?)

(Why didn't Rensheng deny the fact that Father was captured?)

(He cast the muting spell and muted his conversation with Beichen.)

(Could it be that he was guarding against me?)

Lord Gu was captured, unfortunately.

We're hugely indebted to him.

We're trying to rescue him.

This concerns Lord Gu's safety.

Marshal, please keep this a secret

at all costs.

I heard that the rock demon had a fierce temperament.

If that's the case,

Lord Gu must be in danger now.

Have you guys come up

with a way to save him?

Not yet.

Now, we can only obey the rock demon's instruction

and take it one step at a time.

So, what conditions have he brought up?

He hasn't brought up any conditions yet.

He just wanted us to surround Qilai Mountain

and confront him on purpose.

He'll only release Lord Gu

after our retreat.

The rock demon is a cunning beast.

How could you believe his words?

What if he breaks his promise

after your retreat?

What should you guys do then?

That

is precisely what we're worried about.

Marshal, do you have any plans in mind?

If you do, please enlighten us.

The Nine Heavenly Gate Army

will forever be grateful to you.

I do have an idea.

It might increase our odds of saving Lord Gu.

Marshal, please tell us.

That is for Tianhe Army to attack Qilai Mountain.

Lord Gu will never be released

under these two situations.

First situation, Lord Gu is vital to them.

If that's the case,

the rock demon has to keep him in Qilai Mountain

to use him as a bargaining chip.

He won't release Lord Gu

unless he gets a better bargaining chip than him.

Second situation, Lord Gu is no longer important to him.

The Heavenly Court won't allow us

to continue with this standstill.

They'll force us to retreat eventually.

They'll send other forces to attack Qilai Mountain.

If that's the case,

Lord Gu will have no value

as a bargaining chip.

That's why the Tianhe Army should join you guys

in attacking Qilai Mountain.

This way, you guys will have space

to rescue Lord Gu.

Farewell, Marshal. Thank you for your input.

What did he say?

He promised me

that he wouldn't tell anyone

about Lord Gu's capture.

And then? Is that all?

Didn't he mention any conditions?

He just hoped that we could resolve the issue as soon as possible.

He also said

that we could request his help

anytime if we needed it.

I don't think Brainless Chen is that kind.

Who's there?

Tell us your name!

Blind fools.

Don't you know who I am?

Put down your weapons now.

So, you think you're a big shot?

Tell us who you are then.

What are you doing in Qilai Mountain?

I'm here to find someone.

Who?

I'm here to find...

I have plenty of people I can find here.

(Uncle said Tingxin was at Qilai Mountain too.)

(I'll tell them I'm looking for her.)

(That won't work.)

(Tingxin's identity here is unique, to say the least.)

(Even if I tell them,)

(I'm afraid these lackeys will have no idea.)

(What about Yang Lan?)

(Did Yang Lan reveal her identity to them?)

I'm here to find King Rocky of Qilai Mountain.

You're looking for our king?

Who are you then?

You should ask me

who I am to your king.

So, who are you to our king?

You actually asked me that?

Fine. Since you've already asked me,

it'll look like I'm lying if I don't tell you.

I'm your king's brother-in-law's brother-in-law.

Brother-in-law's brother-in-law?

You think this is a tongue twister?

What are you laughing at?

You can ask your king if you don't believe me.

Tell him that Yao Li is here.

You can see if he'll summon me or not.

Our king

would die of exhaustion

if we had to find him for every trivial issue we encounter.

I think you're just here to cause trouble.

Buddies, beat him up.

Stop!

Yang Lan?

Black Mole, he's my sister-in-law's younger brother.

Did something happen?

Yang Lan is here to help me now.

You are dead meat.

Yang Lan, I...

Yang Lan, you must teach him a lesson!

I told him

that I was King Rocky's brother-in-law's brother-in-law.

And they actually wanted to beat me up.

What did you say?

Yang Lan, why did you hit me?

You actually hit my handsome face.

I'm hitting you all right.

You only know how to spout nonsense.

Don't you ave a brain?

Who said I was spouting nonsense?

You and King Rocky are a couple.

I'm King Rocky's

brother-in-law's brother-in-law.

I'll hit you again if you say that again.

Yang Lan, please stop!

Nuan?

I'm here to find you.

Darned Chong!

How dare you steal Nuan from me?

I'm going to kill you!

Don't!

Yang Lan, don't stop me!

I must kill him today!

Don't stop him.

Let him come.

Seems like you haven't learned your lesson.

after our encounter in White Sea Yao Palace.

You came all the way to Qilai Mountain for this, huh?

I'll stand here.

Come and beat me up if you're that capable.

King Rocky, you're Yang Lan's husband!

I'm your brother-in-law's brother-in-law!

You have to help me out here.

Kill him for me!

Black Mole, take him away.

Yes.

Come on.

King Rocky, how could you do this?

I'm your brother-in-law's brother-in-law!

He stole my fiancee from me!

You have to uphold justice for me!

Keep spouting nonsense, won't you?

Yang Lan, that hurts!

A good Jack

makes a good Jill indeed!

Say that again? Come with me!

Ouch!

Let go!

Let's go.

Darned Chong!

I'll kill you eventually!

Shut up!

Stop your nonsense.

Now, the Nine Heavenly Gate Army

has surrounded Qilai Mountain.

Qilai Mountain needs all the help they can get.

Why don't I help you out?

Do you want me

to join you?

No thanks.

I've observed you guys for some time.

You guys work hard day in and day out

just to make some

subpar elixirs

and broken armor and weapons.
