[The Legends of Changing Destiny]

Episode 37

Are you fine, Father?

My leg.

What happened to your leg?

I hurt my leg.

Where are we?

What exactly has happened?

How come we're fine even when we fell from such a high place?

How do you feel, Father?

I sprained my leg.

How about this?

Let's find a place to settle down first.

Then we figure out what's going on.

Daughter.

How did we suddenly end up in this remote area

and encounter that person?

He doesn't look like a farmer

or a hunter, more like a military man.

Daughter, never let our guard down.

We have no choice, Father.

He's the only person we can find here.

We shall act accordingly.

Besides, he doesn't look like a bad person.

Hey, we need some help.

By the way,

where are we? Why are you here?

What do you do for a living?

Be careful.

Did he see us?

He did.

If he hadn't, he would've been denser than a pig.

Do you think

we're too rude?

I know His Majesty summoned us to bring the next reincarnation of Fairy Nichang

to his side.

But isn't it indecent

to abduct her like this?

Are you serious?

I, Third Prince,

have no patience.

As long as I did

what I was told is fine.

Anyway, we've done

what's written in the secret edict.

The next reincarnation of Fairy Nichang is also a princess.

But she didn't have as many hardships before.

Now that her father is old

and we left her in the remote wilderness,

I feel that...

Do you think Brainless Chen

will let his love starve to death?

We should go now.

He'll handle the rest.

Oh, right.

Do you have a place to stay?

I have a thatched hut.

If you don't mind, you can stay there for now.

So, you can talk.

I thought you couldn't.

Fellow martial brothers,

we're here to congratulate

Martial Brother Youquan

for cultivating a bizarre flower in Serenity Valley.

We shall take a good look.

We can just gather like this

as we want.

Why bother to use the flower as an excuse?

But speaking of which,

all of us

rarely gather together.

It's good to have this chance

to have fun together.

That's right.

As long as we're happy,

right?

- Let's drink. - Come on.

It's a pity that Eldest Martial Brother and Ninth Martial Brother aren't with us.

Jeez.

I must give them an earful

when I see them next time.

That's right.

You all mentioned

the abnormal volcano eruption last time.

Did you find anything?

No news so far.

I only know that it's unusual outside the Three Realms.

Even Master can't see through the reason behind it.

If I find out who the culprit

behind this disaster is,

I'll kill them.

Youwu, don't worry.

This concerns the well-being of the world.

We

won't sit idly by.

If it's related

to the Venerable One,

we'll inform you immediately.

(Lingyun!)

(Lingyun, help me!)

(Lingyun!)

Something has happened to Ninth Martial Brother.

Mengxiang.

Where are you?

Lingyun, we're near Qilai Mountain.

The Heavenly Army is coming after Fairy Yunni and me.

(Please help us.)

(We're injured.)

Mengxiang.

Mengxiang.

Drats!

The Heavenly Army is chasing Mengxiang

near Qilai Mountain.

Let's go and save him.

I'll go.

You all have been helping me so much.

I should repay your favor.

It's better for me to confront

the Heavenly Army.

I'm fast with Meteor Nimbus, I'll go first.

There are only a few of them.

Perhaps I might've settled everything by the time you arrive.

I'll go with you.

Sure.

I'll inform Master.

Let's go.

Let's go.

This way.

Go after them.

Hurry up.

- Quick. - Go after them.

This way.

Don't be afraid. My martial brother's territory

is two thousand li away from here.

They won't dare to pursue us then.

Your martial brother?

Yes, he's awesome.

He's known as the King Rocky of Qilai Mountain.

Is the rock demon your martial brother?

Yes.

Over there.

Go after them.

Hurry up. Let's go.

Surround them.

Master Mengxiang.

We just follow orders.

Your name isn't mentioned

in the imperial edict.

I advise you to stay out of this.

Otherwise, the harmony between Heavenly Court and Northern Yaoguang Cave

will be harmed if anything happens here.

As per convention,

if the matter is reported to Grandmaster Jiekong,

they won't defend you for this.

Fairy Yunni has already turned in her resignation paper

requesting to stand down from the position of God of Mountain.

So, she doesn't violate the Heavenly Law.

She can't just simply

resign from the position of God of Mountain.

Even if her resignation

is approved by His Majesty,

she's still an on-duty immortal,

not an ordinary mortal.

I hope that you can leave here.

If my martial brothers arrive...

Will Northern Yaoguang Cave

go against the Heavenly Court

for the criminal Yunni?

Even if they come,

she won't get to live for long.

The imperial edict clearly states that she must be killed on the spot.

My apologies, Master Mengxiang.

Youwu.

How dare you

make troubles on my territory?

Yunni has violated the Heavenly Law, she's a criminal.

This isn't the territory of Qilai Mountain.

Are you going

to obstruct us?

First of all,

the entire Penglai Kingdom belongs to me.

You'd better watch yourself around this place.

Also,

are you saying

that there's a criminal in my spot?

Youwu, please don't hand her over.

Here's the thing.

You came to Qilai Mountain

to capture someone who's not a criminal,

which has already annoyed me.

So, I'm going to kill you all.

You...

How dare you!

Do you think the Heavenly Court can't find out the truth

if you kill us?

Oh, thanks for your reminder.

You're right.

I'll destroy your souls

so that they won't find out this.

Otherwise, it'll be unfavorable for me.

Either I detain your souls,

or you inform the Heavenly Emperor

that you can't find her.

Kill them.

Something's wrong with their spiritual energy

as if they're under some kind of mind-controlling spell.

Move.

Let go of her.

I didn't know

that our paths have diverged.

Yang Lan, Rocky was attacked by the Heavenly Army

outside Qilai Mountain.

What?

That's his choice, anyway.

He should bear it himself.

It's just a few of them, anyway.

He can handle that well.

Are you sure you're not helping him?

The scout said Fengling was captured.

And the situation is complicated.

Let's go.

Sure.

No.

No.

Let go of me.

Yunni.

Yunni.

Yunni.

The stone is placed.

What's your choice?

To kill her

or

to kill the Heavenly Army?

Pick your poison now.

Whether or not you'll get into the mess,

it's your fate.

Jiekong.

In this duel with that rock demon,

I'll win for sure.

Jiekong.

You're too late.

Execution.

Venerable One.

So, this is what you want to tell me?

You'll execute anyone

who defies you?

Fengling.

Don't go in.

Que'er is so near to you now.

As long as you agree to cooperate with me,

I'll get her for you

right away.

(Her eyes are azure.)

(Probably Fengling is the reincarnation of Que'er.)

(That's why the Venerable One approached Fengling)

(and made her the immortal attendant)

(as well as using her to threaten me.)

(It must be.)

(It must be.)

Rocky.

What's wrong with you?

Nothing.

Well.

It's settled now.

We should head back to Qilai Mountain.

All right.

Let's go.

Yang Lan.

What's your order, my lord?

I have something to ask you.

Let's go back together

after I settle this.

No.

Let's go.

Rocky.

Is there a misunderstanding

between Yang Lan and you?

You should go and explain to her.

Master, what has happened to Eldest Martial Brother?

What has happened to him?

Did he

intend to kill Yunni?

Qingfeng

was under the control

of a unique mind-controlling spell.

Master.

But Eldest Martial Brother

is a Daluo Golden Deity of the Ascendance Phase.

Who's capable enough to control him?

Venerable One.

Master.

What exactly is going on now?

Ever since Qingfeng headed back to Wankong Mountain.

from Wuji Hall, he has been acting weirdly.

And I suspected that he was controlled by the Venerable One.

I don't interfere

because I want

to find out what the Venerable One is after.

But now

I don't think it's he

who controlled Qingfeng.

I can't see through

what's going on.

Well.

I've removed the heinous energy from Qingfeng's body.

It won't relapse again.

As for the Venerable One,

no need to worry.

But regarding Mengxiang's matter,

none of you have reported to me,

and you fought with the Heavenly Army behind my back.

Did you mean to hide it from me?

You. Come with me.

Jeez, this old man.

wasn't running that fast when it came to saving people, though.

He has quite a temper.

Rocky.

Youwu, well done.

What are you referring to?

Killing the Heavenly Army

or badmouthing that old man?

Both.

How dare you do that!

I thought he would give me an earful.

He didn't even bother to talk to me.

Is he really my Master?

(Master didn't say anything to me,)

(even though I showed no respect before him.)

(Is this something to be happy or sad about?)

(Compared to being ignored by him,)

(Mengxiang, who's scolded by him,)

(actually makes me envious.)

(Am I crazy?)

(Maybe he never pegs me)

(as his disciple.)

Youwu.

I was thinking

about how I should deal with this.

Even though we were here,

all we could do was stop the fight.

We couldn't intervene.

I didn't expect that from you.

I'm afraid

you will be held accountable for this.

I don't care.

But I found something odd about the Heavenly Army who were chasing after Mengxiang

and they even came to Qilai Mountain.

The Venerable One must be luring me

into a trap he designed.

Unfortunately,

he found my weakness,

and it forced my hands.

The Venerable One is revered

among the entire Heavenly Court,

not to mention his scheme is unpredictable.

With you alone,

it's impossible to bring him down.

Youwu,

don't shoulder everything on your own.

Come to us.

This devious fox

will commit to any possible means for his goals.

But I won't back off so easily.

Youwu.

You've killed so many Heavenly Army.

The Heavenly Court

won't let it go unmentioned.

I'm afraid Qilai Mountain

will be expecting trouble again.

If it weren't for Mengxiang,

you wouldn't have gotten into this.

It's our fault to drag you into this.

Please don't say that. We're peers,

and we should help each other.

Right, Second Martial Brother?

That old man doesn't recognize me as his disciple,

but you do.

So, we should take care of each other.

Yes, we're always together.

Youwu, I'm impressed by you.

Don't you remember you were to one who always beat me?

It's all in the past.

Youwu, if you still can't let go,

you can beat me

as compensation.

Save it.

I want you to remember you owe me a beating.

No, it's two.

That's not right.

We practice the Path of Alteration.

We shouldn't be hesitant

like those in the Path of Enlightenment.

You!

Dantong.

How could you say

that we're hesitant?

As for now, the practitioners of the Path of Enlightenment

have outnumbered you.

That's right.

I misspoke.

You all go back to Northern Yaoguang Cave

to reflect on yourselves.

- Yes, Master. - Yes, Master.

Youquan.

I have a favor

to ask of you.

Go ahead.

Do you remember what I told you before?

Now, the timing is right.

I need to go to the Underworld.

Can you please go with me?

Yes, of course.

But we need to disguise ourselves.

Although you're known as a disciple

of Northern Yaoguang Cave,

it's never announced publicly.

Master might blame you if you ct under the name of this.

After I locate the whereabouts of the soul

from the Book of Death,

I will have to rely on you.

Rest assured.

I'm leaving.

Let me tag along.

I want to go to the Underworld to check the Book of Death too.

Why do you want to go?

I...

I can help you.

Just stay at Qilai Mountain.

Besides, the Underworld is filled with negative energy,

which's bad for you.

Just wait to hear from me at Qilai Mountain.

Rocky, trust me.

I can help you out.

I must go.

Well, then.

Thank you, Rocky.

(Th Venerable One has started to tackle Fengling.)

(I must find out whether Fengling)

(is the reincarnation of Que'er.)

Yang Lan, let me check on your injury.

I'm perfectly fine.

No need to worry about me, my lord.

Your spiritual energy was disrupted

during the fight in the woods earlier.

I knew you were injured. Please let me in.

It was just a few soldiers.

I can handle this myself.

You don't need to meddle in this.

I said

I'm fine.

Yang Lan, open the door.

If you're angry with me,

you can beat me or scold me.

I won't say a word.

I know you're upset right now

and don't want to see me.

I'll come to see you

when you're in a better mood.

Yang Lan.

Lan.

Look at you.

What's wrong with you?

Stop pretending.

How long do you plan to hide this from me?

Get up.

What has happened?

You have external injuries?

Martial Brother.

Please read her pulse

and see what's going on.

Master.

How did you know?

How did I know?

Your face is pale, and your spiritual energy is disrupted.

As your master, how could I not sense that?

I've never seen you as my master,

but you've always treated me as your disciple

and cared for me.

Unlike someone

who's heartless

and persists in his own beliefs,

disregarding me

even after I've waited for him for over a hundred years.

Silly girl.

You're my only disciple.

Of course, I'll care about you.

All right, let's not talk about this.

You should take care of your body.

Lingyun is right.

Being emotional is terrible for your illness,

and your injuries...

Martial Brother.

What's wrong with her?

The wound has spread from inside to outside her body.

It starts to decay,

and she lacks spiritual energy.

Plus, her vision is becoming blurry.

Martial Brother.

I don't get it.

What do you mean?

Her heart and inwards have been badly damaged,

and it's a grim sign.

I'm afraid

that Yang Lan has reached the end of her life.

Martial Brother.

Did you make a mistake?

How could her life

be nearing its end?

That's impossible. Please read her pulse again.

Yang Lan was once punished by Seven-Sword Severance,

and she's emotionally burdened.

Plus, her vigor is damaged.

All these haven't been completely cured.

There seems to be an unknown force

exhausting her body,

and it leads to this situation.

Martial Uncle.

How much time

do I have?

Considering

your body

is badly corroded and ruined,

as time goes on,

the damage will deteriorate.

Based on your current situation,

it may take one year

or even faster...

Second Martial Brother, stop it.

Just tell me

what to do to save my disciple.

Right,

you mentioned that she lacks vigor.

I have.

I can give her mine.

I'll give her all of my vigor.

If that's not enough, we can ask Yang Yan.

I'll call Yang Yan over.

We'll give her as much as we have, is that enough?

Martial Brother.

She's only my disciple.

I beg of you, please save her.

Martial Brother.

Lingyun, calm down.

How can I stay calm?

I want to help her,

but I just can't.

Martial Brother.

Master.

It's fine.

This is my fate.

Why force it?

Lan.

I hope

you can keep it a secret

for my sake.

Qilai Mountain won't allow

an ailing Sacred Mother to take control of it.

Also, I don't want Rocky to know about this.

All right.

This is ridiculous!

This rock demon is outrageous.

How many soldiers do we have available now?

Please calm down, Your Majesty.

The armed forces aren't fully prepared.

If we were to wage war now,

it might damage the prestige of the Heavenly Court.

Please reconsider it, Your Majesty.

What should I do then?

What should I do?

It's a grave offense for immortals to engage in romantic relationships.

If I fail to punish the murderer

responsible for the death of the army who were pursuing criminals,

every immortal who commits this crime

will seek refuge at Qilai Mountain.

This will lead to chaos in the world

and a loss of prestige for the Heavenly Court!

Offering concessions isn't a solution at all.

If we must endure

such audacious behavior of the rock demon,

I'll be pushed

to a corner

before the great deity intervenes.

Oh, right.

I heard that this rock demon

is the disciple of Grandmaster Jiekong.

Perhaps Grandmaster Jiekong can deal with this.

What do you say, fellow deities?

Well...

I'm afraid

this won't be of any help.

When the rock demon made a scene in the Heavenly Court

and was captured,

Grandmaster Jiekong remained silent.

In this case,

he won't acknowledge the rock demon

is his disciple.

Moreover,

we have no evidence.

Tell me what I should do then.

To uphold the Heavenly Laws,

I sealed my younger sister beneath Yao Mountain

for one hundred years,

and no one was allowed to plead for mercy.

But now,

a mere rock demon

has painted me

into the corner.

How can I swallow this humiliation?

Taibai.

I need your opinion.

As Lord Gu said,

we can't engage in war at this moment.

This is the reason

why the rock demon dares to act so.

It's not wise if we fight against the strong army of the rock demon

when ours are weak.

In my humble opinion,

we need to consider this wisely.

I asked you to come up with a solution.

I heard that the rock demon

wanted to go to the Underworld

to investigate the Book of Death.

So, I think

you can meet with the head of Ten Underworld Overlords in secret.

By then...

Youquan.

Is Yang Lan's illness incurable?

It turns out you've found out.

She's the most important one to me.

How could I not be aware

of her condition?

Well,

the love relationship

between you two

is indeed complicated.

From what I see now,

it's better

to live a carefree life.

At least I won't be bothered by worries and pain.

Martial Brother.

Please find a way.

As long as you can save Yang Lan,

I'm willing to pay any price,

even trading my life

for hers.

I'm willing to do anything.

Youwu.

Since you've asked,

I'll tell you the truth.

After returning to Serenity Valley,

I've come across numerous scriptures

and discussed them with fellow cultivators

regarding Yang Lan's situation.

If you're willing...

If you're willing

to sacrifice your life,

perhaps

there's a feasible method to cure Yang Lan.

Thank you, Martial Brother.

(Should I tell him?)

(Who knows,)

(he might change his mind)

(and fulfill my final wish.)

My lord, Your Highness.

Lippy, where are you going?

Is there a mission?

Why wasn't I informed?

King Rocky is heading to the Underworld for the Book of Death.

I'm gathering the buddies

to tag along.

I'm leaving.

Move.

Yang Lan.

Are you going to the Underworld

for the Book of Death?

The relationship with the Heavenly Court has worsened

because of the Heavenly Army's death.

I must check the Book of Death

and find out where Que'er is

before they take any action.

You didn't plan to tell me about this?

This is something I've always wanted to do.

And I didn't mean to keep it from you.

Do you really have to go there?

I made this promise in the past,

and I must fulfill it.

Besides, I suspect that...

Do you really want to bring her back?

What can you do,

even if she returns to Qilai Mountain?

It's been so many years.

Who knows

if she has already reincarnated?

Even if she comes back,

she may not be the same as before.

I know.

Still, I must find her.

I owe her my life

and a promise.

I can't leave it unfulfilled.

What if I forbid you from going?

Forget it.

I

am just an advisor in Qilai Mountain.

We're bounded because of an agreement.

No, there's no agreement at all.

How can I interrupt

King Rocky?

You may go.

Bye.

This is a confidential edict from His Majesty.

Lord Xuanming,

please act as told.

I, Lord Xuanming, receive the edict.

What's wrong?

Do you think His Majesty wants you to set up an ambush?

The Death Army of the Underworld

is never comparable to the Heavenly Army,

and not even

the crustacean soldiers

of the Four Seas.

I'm sorry about that.

Don't worry.

You don't have to confront the rock demon head-on.

Please convey to His Majesty

that I'll do my best.

This is the Underworld Gate.

Behind this gate,

it's the Life and Death Hall where the Book of Death reposes.

Rocky.

It's very likely to encounter an ambush here.

It's better to stay alert.

I can't sense strong fluctuations of the spiritual energy around here.

There's no ambush here.

Fengling.

Stay within ten paces of me.

I, Lord Xuanming of Life and Death Hall,

welcome you, King Rocky of Qilai Mountain.

- We humbly welcome King Rocky. - We humbly welcome King Rocky.

Thank you.

It's my great pleasure

to expect your arrival.

Save it.

I'm here for the Book of Death.

Show me the way.

King Rocky.

I have arranged

their accommodations.

Perhaps the death escort will...

What did you say?

They're here to check the Book of Death.

All of them?

Don't worry.

Not all.

Just a few of us.

Records of the Book of Death can be immeasurable.

I need hands,

otherwise, it'll take forever.

Well.

I'm a demon.

Let's be real with our words.

I'm short on time.

If you make it convenient for me,

I'll do the same for you.

If you

make it difficult for me,

not even the Heavenly Court can protect you.

King Rocky.

I understand.

This way, please.

This way, please.

This way, please.

So many.

All sentient beings from the Three Realms

are recorded in the Book of Death.

Naturally, they are many.

King Rocky.

That's enough.

You can leave now.

I'll search on my own.

I must serve by your side,

King Rocky.

Are you seeking your death wish?

Well.

I will take my leave.

Martial Uncle Youquan.

What are you doing?

I want to make sure

that I can detect the thing at the earliest moment.

Start now.

- Yes. - Yes.

Your Majesty.

The rock demon led a large number of troops

to Life and Death Hall.

A large number of troops?

Is he trying to take down the Underworld?

It might be.

Your Majesty.

The rock demon takes this matter very seriously

and is determined to succeed.

If we set up

an ambush there,

given his character,

he'll probably go all out to attack.

If he manages to take down Life and Death Hall,

it'll undoubtedly be a catastrophe for the Three Realms.
