He's breaking his demon core.

Why?

The formation will collapse with it.

Release it now.

Formation Breaking Skill!

It's not working.

How can a mere Tier 4 Incubus Demon

break the formation?

It's all thanks to your father.

What do you mean?

He was greedy and wildly arrogant.

He cast the seal,

weaving my demon core

into the Life Suction Formation.

Now I'll die with it.

And all of you will join me!

Father sealed you

because he couldn't kill you then.

I'm only Tier 4.

Do you believe he couldn't do that?

Young lady,

it seems

that you don't know

your father at all.

This place is about to explode!

Let's go!

Too late.

If the formation breaks,

half of the capital will be destroyed!

Even if we can get out,

the civilians outside can't run away.

Sister Mu Yao, what are you doing?

- Sister! - Yao!

The formation contains

my father's spiritual power.

Only I've mastered my father's skills,

and only I can get into the core.

My inner core can replace the demon core

to delay the blast.

No, you can't go!

You can't take the risk alone!

Sister...

I'm not alone.

I have you by my side.

Miaomiao,

don't you always say

no matter what happens,

we'll stick together?

Good. I trust you.

Once I get in,

have the cultivators of the Bureau

hold the eight corners with their inner cores

to neutralize the explosion.

I know it's difficult,

but together

we can get it done.

Yes.

Sister Mu Yao,

you have Message Charms, right?

Give me one.

I'll use it to get help.

Be careful.

Go to a safe spot.

(Xingshan Hall)

Let's do it.

Guo Xiu, Guo Xiu,

come in to assist us.

We need backup!

Cuicui!

Cuicui, Cuicui!

- Let's go out to check. - Sure.

Let's go!

It... it's about to break!

Everyone in this area will be killed!

They're waiting for us to assist them.

They're trying to halt the formation.

It's been running for a while,

and it's become too powerful.

We can't halt it in a minute.

We can't do it.

We're shorthanded.

We'll die anyway.

Eliminating evil and protecting people

are what we Demon Catchers do.

If we work together

and spare no effort,

maybe we'll succeed!

What if we fail?

- Yes. - Yes, what then?

You're right.

Run! Let's go!

Go, go!

Get out of here!

Where are they?

What's taking them so long?

We'll help you!

- Here I am! - I'm coming!

- Mu Sheng! - Miaomiao...

leave with Cuicui.

We can't hold out for long!

No, we're a team.

- I won't leave without you. - Get out or you'll die, too!

No!

Me neither.

Every little bit of power helps!

Form up!

Cuicui!

Cuicui!

Cuicui, are you alright?

System, System,

I need energy!

I have to save everyone!

(Xingshan Hall)

Your frontal mark...

(Imperial Capital)

They're out! They're out!

They're out! They're out!

Lord, what happened?

We heard loud bangs last night.

We tamed a mere Tier 4 demon.

Everything is under my control.

Nothing to worry about.

- The Astronomical Bureau is great! - Well done!

It's nothing.

We simply did our job.

You're welcome.

You're the best!

I'm hungry.

A rainbow inner core indeed!

Yes.

- This... - It's real!

Is it so rare?

Of course.

We've never seen it before!

It's said that when the Mu progenitor, Mu Qingshi,

mended the sky to save the world,

her inner core created a rainbow.

But that's only a story.

Found it.

I found it!

The Guardian Master's portrait from 900 years ago.

Look! Look at it!

Is the first half

of the Prophecy coming true?

Isn't that

our progenitor?

Miss Lin's father is a County Magistrate.

No one in her family has practiced magic skills.

How come...?

Miaomiao,

who exactly are you?

According to the Prophecy, the Guardian Master is

Cultivator Lin.

Guardian... Master...?

My respects, Guardian Master!

My respects, Guardian Master!

Don't... don't do this.

Please stand up. This is too much.

Come on... Please rise.

Please... stand up...

Please, all of you!

It's been over 20 years.

Finally,

we've found you!

Over 20 years?

That... That long?

Over two decades ago,

the Heavenly Wall in the Bureau

revealed the Prophecy

that the Demon Catcher who could

draw out Crescent would soon appear.

Just like the first Guardian Master,

Mu Qingshi, that person would be

talented with unlimited potential

and could become the Heavenly Master.

Over the years,

we had no idea

who that person was.

But now it seems

that you're the new Guardian Master,

the supreme leader of all Demon Catchers!

Please draw out Crescent, Guardian Master!

Me? To draw that out?

I'm so nervous!

What if I can't?

Miaomiao, you can do it!

She can't do it?

Isn't... she the Guardian Master?

What's happening?

I'm sorry.

I let all of you down.

I think I'm not

that Guardian Master.

Sister Mu!

It's fine. Don't be upset.

Cultivator Mu,

Mu Qingshi is

your ancestor.

So could you be

the Guardian Master?

Give it a try.

Actually,

I've tried

and failed.

- What about Fu...? - Not me either.

Look!

Mu Sheng...

Can he draw it out?

It's out!

He's the one!

It's him!

My respects, Guardian Master!

(Without them,)

(I would bear regrets forever.)

Young Master Liu!

Thank goodness

you're still here.

Please help the Princess!

What's wrong?

It's all my fault.

I let that demon out

and helped him reactivate the formation.

Please help the Princess!

I'll die for her!

What?

You've been helping

that sealed demon in the Xingshan Hall?

Yes.

Don't worry.

The Princess will be fine.

How can you be sure?

She's in the hall already.

That demon won't let her go.

The wedding there is no longer

a trap set by that demon.

My sister has made a plan

to use his trap to catch him.

I know my sister.

She'd never let innocent people get hurt.

Peiyun,

can you tell us everything

you know?

Yes.

Tell us what we're missing

so that we can help Yao

to eliminate that demon for good.

Then the Princess and everyone else

in the capital will be safe.

From now on,

you'll be our help.

(Your Highness,)

(I'm sorry.)

(I sided with the evil.)

(I can't face you again.)

(It's time for me to leave.)

(I'll do good)

(to atone for my sins)

(and pray for you.)

(I wish you forever health,)

(peace and happiness.)

(Your Highness,)

(please take care.)

(Tuanyuan Inn)

How long will you remain invisible?

Wait until we leave the capital.

You... You...

Yes, good for you.

But they keep bothering me.

Besides, others think

I'm talking to myself.

I look like a fool.

Just "look like"?

Miss Lin.

Do you know

where the Guardian Master is?

I don't know.

His appearance has been known to all.

Even His Majesty has given the order.

Crescent belongs to the Guardian Master.

He has to take it

to fulfill the rest of the Prophecy.

But you haven't figured out

what it says, have you?

We... we're almost done.

But now we can't find the Guardian Master.

We know he's too powerful.

Even if he's here, we can't force him to do anything.

What should we do?

Keep looking, I guess.

Keep looking? Fine.

Sure. We'll keep looking.

But he could be anywhere.

How can we find him?

Where should we go?

There's no sign of him. What to do?

They're gone. Come out now.

Ziqi?

Ziqi?

Where are you?

Ziqi?

Zi...

Be careful.

- You're so... - Mind the step.

This way, please.

Your room is over there.

This way.

The best one is right ahead.

Please.

Nice inn. It's quiet.

You're right.

You freaked me out.

Where else could I be?

Can we snuggle like this all day?

Why can't we?

We're leaving the capital soon.

I hope from now on,

everything will be fine.

Yao,

you seem troubled.

Are you confused

because of

that Incubus Demon's last words?

Maybe he lied.

I don't know.

Ever since we came here,

I've been feeling

that this trip has

something to do with my father.

Why did he do that?

What exactly did he do?

I don't have an answer.

He always detested evil

and had no mercy on evil demons.

But back in the Xingshan Hall,

he did nothing

and indulged a Tier 4 Incubus Demon

in vice.

And the resentment there...

What about it?

♪Red Moon♪

♪Round Moon♪

♪I carry a lantern under the moon, stepping up the stairs♪

♪Straight stairs♪

It made me

hear something strange.

Then I got it.

The Incubus Demon meant to steal my nightmare

and played a trick to scare me off.

But I was misled by him,

thinking that demon was the Resentful Woman.

But why did my father

keep an evil demon alive?

And how did Dowager Consort Zhao

get our Jade Token?

She probably knows something we don't.

You haven't asked her about it.

Yao,

are you... afraid?

If you can't

face something now,

it's better to wait for another time.

I'll visit her in the palace tomorrow.

I'll have the carriage ready

and escort you to the gate.

Fuyi,

can you go with me?

Whatever is waiting for me,

if you're by my side,

I'll feel better.

Sure.

As long as you need me,

I'm always there for you.

Try this.

It's good! It's so tasty!

Right? Am I right?

Eat up, Sister.

You too.

Ziqi, come here!

Let's go!

- Come on! - What's up?

Why such secrecy?

Did you see that?

Sister Mu put food in Cuicui's bowl!

Did she?

Yes.

She filled up his bowl

and said he should eat more to grow up

and find his grandfather.

She was on guard against demons

and always cold to Cuicui.

But

just now she was so nice to him!

Do you think she has

started to accept that little demon?

Ziqi, I know

you don't want me to bring certain things up.

It's fine.

From now on, just say whatever you want.

I won't be mad.

That doesn't sound like you.

Being kind and friendly is easy.

I can do that.

I'm thinking

when the right time comes,

you can tell her who you really are.

But if you don't want to...

It's not like that,

but

in the past

she meant the most to me.

I've kept that secret from her for so long.

There isn't a day that I'm not scared,

but I've had enough.

I know.

I know how you feel.

It's better to tell her

before she finds out herself.

Besides, if she can

accept Cuicui for who he is,

I think she'll accept you, too.

Ziqi,

tell her now.

Sister.

Sheng,

what's up? Come on in.

Sister...

I have something to tell you.

What is it?

I...

I...

I hired a bigger carriage.

It might go a little over budget.

But it'll make you and Miaomiao more comfortable.

You've grown up

and become so sweet.

Uh...

good night, Sister.

Is there anything else?

No.

Really?

Good night then.

Miaomiao...

Uh...

What...?

Ziqi...

You know what?

Actually,

I have a secret, too.

Come closer.

What's happening?

Welcome, Host.

Sorry, an out-of-order error was triggered.

Congratulations! You've conquered the target.

Mu Sheng's favorability is...

Warning. 100%. The catastrophe of heaven is coming.

You're falsely transferred to the end.

Welcome to Catching Demons, Host.

Congratulations!

Welcome...

Welcome...

Welcome...

Are you alright?

I think I had a strange dream.

What did you see?

I saw

a strange figurine

talking to me, but I didn't understand.

That doesn't make sense.

It is quite strange.

Forget about it.

Were you here

the whole night?

Yes.

You were wild when you were drunk.

How wild?

You refused to let me go.

Sister brought you soup and closed the door

without taking a glance at us.

You... You're lying!

Don't be shy.

You've told your father everything in the letter, right?

What do you mean?

Isn't this your handwriting?

(Father,) "I like Ziqi.

I want to marry him."

- You... - It's clearly written

right here.

I... You...

Cuicui!

I like that naughty little shoot

more and more.

He's been of great help.

It's so wise to bring him along.

Give it back!

Give it to me!

Where did it go?

I just cast a spell.

Now it's

1,000 miles away

on your father's table.

You... Get it back!

Now!

Calm down.

You drank too much last night.

Let's get you some sun later.
