[00:00] ---
    What happened to the
[00:02] ---
    "instant"?
[00:04] ---
    Alright, alright,
[00:05] ---
    your feather duster is practically smearing my face!
[00:12] ---
    San Lang,
[00:14] ---
    are you going back to the City of Ghost?
[00:17] ---
    Weren't you planning to return to the Heavenly Capital?
[00:21] ---
    However,
[00:23] ---
    if you want to come with me to the City of Ghost,
[00:25] ---
    I'd welcome that too.
[00:27] ---
    Maybe next time.
[00:28] ---
    If there's a chance,
[00:30] ---
    I'll help you rebuild the the Paradise Manor.
[00:35] ---
    No need for that.
[00:37] ---
    It's just as good if you sit and watch.
[00:41] ---
    About Qianqiu!
[00:43] ---
    Regardless,
[00:45] ---
    thank you.
[00:47] ---
    I don't know what's right.
[00:50] ---
    Perhaps.
[00:52] ---
    This isn't too bad either.
[00:53] ---
    Overthinking.
[00:56] ---
    Just focus on doing what you need to do.
[03:13] ---
    This guy,
[03:15] ---
    he's pretty decent, huh?
[03:17] ---
    How did you make friends with him?
[03:19] ---
    Your Highness,
[03:20] ---
    you're really lucky!
[03:24] ---
    Is that so?
[03:26] ---
    Probably,
[03:27] ---
    I think so too.
[03:36] ---
    Feng Xin,
[03:37] ---
    sorry about that.
[03:40] ---
    Can't argue with a superior skill.
[03:41] ---
    Nothing else to say.
[03:45] ---
    Alright, alright.
[03:46] ---
    You two!
[03:48] ---
    Go in and check if there are any stragglers left,
[03:50] ---
    then we'll head back to the Heavenly Capital!
[04:02] ---
    How’s it going?
[04:03] ---
    Not here.
[04:09] ---
    Can you believe Hua Cheng turned the tables
[04:10] ---
    and claimed that Heavenly Court planted spies in the City of Ghost ?
[04:12] ---
    Utterly ridiculous!
[04:13] ---
    Do we, of the Heavenly Realm, need to plant spies under his command?
[04:20] ---
    Sir,
[04:21] ---
    maybe don't say it out loud so early.
[04:23] ---
    Wind Master, you are back?
[04:27] ---
    This trip to the City of Ghost,
[04:28] ---
    Wind Master, you've been through a lot!
[04:30] ---
    No trouble at all!
[04:31] ---
    It's only natural.
[04:49] ---
    In the past,
[04:50] ---
    we didn't even have meetings once or twice a month.
[04:53] ---
    Nowadays, accidents are happening frequently,
[04:55] ---
    almost like we need to convene twice a day.
[04:57] ---
    No wonder the His Majesty the Emperor is exhausted.
[05:00] ---
    This Crimson Rain Sought Flower just comes
[05:02] ---
    and goes as he pleases!
[05:04] ---
    Today, he could effortlessly snatch
[05:05] ---
    the Prince away who offended him,
[05:07] ---
    wouldn't he be able to capture other Heavenly Officials tomorrow!
[05:09] ---
    This matter cannot be tolerated;
[05:10] ---
    we must halt it in its tracks!
[05:13] ---
    With Hua Cheng having the City of Ghost under his control
[05:15] ---
    and so many followers,
[05:16] ---
    would he really care about a mere Paradise Manor?
[05:19] ---
    I'd say,
[05:20] ---
    it might not be solely because Prince offended him
[05:23] ---
    that he's stormed the Heavenly Capital.
[05:26] ---
    General Xuan Zhen,
[05:27] ---
    you're not quite right about that!
[05:29] ---
    Everyone present heard it with their own ears;
[05:31] ---
    Hua Cheng admitted it himself.
[05:34] ---
    Speaking of which,
[05:35] ---
    whose turn is it to guard the court this month?
[05:38] ---
    The entrance to Xianle Palace was ensorcelled,
[05:40] ---
    connected to elsewhere,
[05:42] ---
    yet no one noticed a thing.
[05:44] ---
    Does
[05:45] ---
    this not constitute neglect of duty?
[05:48] ---
    It's me.
[05:50] ---
    I'm the one on duty this month,
[05:52] ---
    and I indeed neglected my duties.
[05:58] ---
    Well.
[06:00] ---
    I think
[06:01] ---
    we should take things one step at a time.
[06:03] ---
    First, let's clarify the incident at the Blood-Soaked Golden Feast.
[06:06] ---
    Your Majesty,
[06:08] ---
    Prince Taihua has a message.
[06:11] ---
    What did he say?
[06:13] ---
    He said
[06:15] ---
    there's more to the incident involving the Blood-Soaked Golden Feast than meets the eye.
[06:18] ---
    He will handle it himself
[06:19] ---
    and hopes others won't interfere.
[06:21] ---
    What more is there to it?
[06:23] ---
    He didn't specify,
[06:24] ---
    but he did
[06:26] ---
    say not to let the Prince succeed in self-degradation.
[06:28] ---
    What is that for?
[06:28] ---
    What is the intention of Prince Taihua?
[06:30] ---
    Even the aggrieved party isn't chasing the culprit for vengeance;
[06:32] ---
    why are we getting worked up here?
[06:34] ---
    Yeah,
[06:35] ---
    and it seems Prince Taihua isn't willing to reveal the full story either.
[06:38] ---
    It's like we've lost all leverage.
[06:42] ---
    Xuan Zhen,
[06:43] ---
    Nan Yang,
[06:44] ---
    assist Ming Guang
[06:46] ---
    and reinforce the vigilance in the Heavenly Capital.
[06:48] ---
    Yes!
[06:49] ---
    The rest of you,
[06:51] ---
    continue the investigation.
[06:53] ---
    Yes!
[06:54] ---
    Who would have thought this Prince Xianle,
[06:56] ---
    every time he causes a commotion,
[06:57] ---
    the Emperor says he'll investigate,
[06:59] ---
    but then nothing happens.
[07:00] ---
    So he's a big deal, huh?
[07:02] ---
    Indeed,
[07:03] ---
    it's like can't see the forest for the trees;
[07:04] ---
    in the future, we should watch what we say.
[07:13] ---
    Your Majesty.
[07:15] ---
    I've caused you trouble again.
[07:17] ---
    This doesn't really count as trouble.
[07:20] ---
    If you stubbornly insisted that you were responsible for the Blood-Soaked Golden Feast
[07:24] ---
    that would be real trouble.
[07:28] ---
    Actually...
[07:41] ---
    The truth of the matter
[07:43] ---
    is like this.
[07:45] ---
    Xian Le,
[07:46] ---
    the effort you put into this matter is hardly rewarded,
[07:48] ---
    both inside and out.
[07:52] ---
    I know.
[07:53] ---
    Never mind,
[07:55] ---
    you've always been like this.
[07:57] ---
    Taihua is currently chasing after the Green Immor,
[07:59] ---
    but have you thought about
[08:01] ---
    how to handle things afterwards?
[08:03] ---
    Not yet.
[08:04] ---
    But for now,
[08:05] ---
    I'm pondering something else.
[08:07] ---
    Oh?
[08:08] ---
    Something interesting,
[08:10] ---
    let me share the joy.
[08:12] ---
    Earth master.
[08:14] ---
    Did you send Earth master to the City of Ghost?
[08:17] ---
    It was me.
[08:19] ---
    Why?
[08:21] ---
    Because the person who first acted against the Heavenly Realm...
[08:24] ---
    was Hua Cheng.
[08:27] ---
    Over the years,
[08:29] ---
    Hua Cheng's information has been incredibly fast
[08:31] ---
    and precise.
[08:33] ---
    What actions can be taken,
[08:34] ---
    what can't,
[08:37] ---
    where the boundaries lie,
[08:38] ---
    how to brush against them.
[08:40] ---
    He knows everything
[08:42] ---
    he shouldn't.
[08:45] ---
    This time, he even opened a direct pathway to your Xianle Palace.
[08:49] ---
    How can we explain all of this if there were no undercover agents
[08:52] ---
    planted by him within the Heavenly Realm?
[08:55] ---
    Do you have evidence?
[09:01] ---
    It's precisely because I lacked concrete evidence that
[09:03] ---
    I sent Ming Yi to infiltrate the Ghost Realm.
[09:07] ---
    I just didn't anticipate that
[09:08] ---
    the internal traitor of the Heavenly Realm hadn't been identified yet
[09:11] ---
    and Ming Yi ended up in his hands instead.
[09:14] ---
    Fortunately, you managed to save him this time,
[09:16] ---
    but finding Hua Cheng's spies again
[09:19] ---
    will likely prove even more difficult.
[09:22] ---
    Did the problem originate from
[09:23] ---
    the Heavenly Realm or the Middle Realm?
[09:25] ---
    Hard to say.
[09:27] ---
    Except for you,
[09:29] ---
    anyone else is a possibility.
[09:31] ---
    Perhaps
[09:32] ---
    just one,
[09:34] ---
    perhaps
[09:35] ---
    more.
[09:37] ---
    So
[09:39] ---
    even Feng Xin and Mu Qing,
[09:41] ---
    anyone could be.
[09:44] ---
    Xianle,
[09:45] ---
    I know you must have some favorable feelings toward Hua Cheng now.
[09:49] ---
    But still, be cautious
[09:51] ---
    and don't reveal everything to him.
[09:55] ---
    Those who become exceptional in this world,
[09:57] ---
    not a single one hasn't endured suffering beyond what ordinary people can tolerate.
[10:01] ---
    They either soar to the heavens
[10:03] ---
    or are doomed to eternal damnation.
[10:05] ---
    The Guileful Ghost King who emerged from Copper Stove Mountain,
[10:08] ---
    any of them are far more terrifying than you can imagine.
[10:11] ---
    I don't know Hua Cheng's intentions and actions,
[10:14] ---
    but he's thoroughly aware of the Heavenly Realm's workings.
[10:17] ---
    And
[10:18] ---
    that's quite disadvantageous.
[10:20] ---
    San Lang...
[10:21] ---
    Hua Cheng,
[10:23] ---
    he shouldn't do anything excessively reckless.
[10:25] ---
    After all,
[10:26] ---
    you see...
[10:27] ---
    With his power,
[10:28] ---
    if he intended to cause chaos,
[10:30] ---
    he could have overturned everything long ago, right?
[10:33] ---
    If he didn't before,
[10:34] ---
    then
[10:36] ---
    it's not likely
[10:37] ---
    he will now.
[10:39] ---
    I hope so,
[10:42] ---
    but you know.
[10:44] ---
    For the sake of three realms,
[10:47] ---
    I can't take any risks.
[11:09] ---
    My child,
[11:10] ---
    let's go!
[11:12] ---
    Mmm!
[11:25] ---
    Me,
[11:25] ---
    Anle,
[11:26] ---
    your Master,
[11:28] ---
    the three of us Xianle people,
[11:29] ---
    all had a hand in it!
[11:31] ---
    But what about my father and mother?
[11:33] ---
    The fusion of Yong An and Xianle
[11:36] ---
    was their greatest wish.
[11:39] ---
    And now
[11:41] ---
    their wish has come true,
[11:44] ---
    but what fate awaits them?
[11:46] ---
    Isn't it easier to hate just one person
[11:48] ---
    than a whole group?
[11:50] ---
    I deserve whatever punishment I get,
[11:52] ---
    and I can't die anyway.
[11:54] ---
    So why not put all the blame on me?
[12:20] ---
    That fruit is delicious!
[12:21] ---
    Really?
[12:21] ---
    I won't lie,
[12:22] ---
    it's sweet and watery.
[12:24] ---
    I'll take you with me next time.
[12:26] ---
    OK!
[12:29] ---
    Clench your fists!
[12:31] ---
    Begin!
[12:35] ---
    Hands up!
[12:37] ---
    Keep your legs steady!
[12:39] ---
    Punch!
[12:41] ---
    Exertion!
[12:44] ---
    One more time!
[12:49] ---
    Push the palm!
[12:50] ---
    Change steps quickly!
[12:55] ---
    Continue!
[15:29] ---
    Father,
[15:30] ---
    Mother,
[15:33] ---
    I'm sorry.
[15:34] ---
    I forgot to bring something to see you.
[15:39] ---
    Mother,
[15:40] ---
    I've encountered Qi Rong.
[15:43] ---
    Over these centuries,
[15:44] ---
    I don't know what he's been through.
[15:46] ---
    He turned into a ghost
[15:47] ---
    and caused the deaths of so many people.
[15:49] ---
    Now someone wants to kill him,
[15:51] ---
    and the Heavenly Realm probably won't spare him either.
[15:55] ---
    I truly don't know how to handle this person.
[16:07] ---
    What's that sound?
[16:09] ---
    Mother,
[16:10] ---
    is that you?
[16:13] ---
    No, wait!
[16:14] ---
    The Queen Mother departed from the sea of suffering eight hundred years ago
[16:17] ---
    and never became a resentful spirit.
[16:20] ---
    Who could it be?
[16:35] ---
    Why is it a child?
[16:38] ---
    Then where's my mother?
[16:39] ---
    Where's my mother?
[16:41] ---
    Who are you?
[16:43] ---
    Where have you taken my mother's body?
[17:40] ---
    Who are you?
[17:41] ---
    A tomb raider?
[17:42] ---
    How did you get in?
[17:44] ---
    Daddy?
[17:49] ---
    Daddy.
[17:56] ---
    Qi Rong!
[17:57] ---
    Get out here!
[17:58] ---
    I'll kill you!
[17:59] ---
    Don’t!
[18:02] ---
    My Prince Cousin.
[18:03] ---
    We meet again!
[18:16] ---
    Daddy...
[18:19] ---
    wake up!
[18:21] ---
    Don't leave Guzi behind...
[18:26] ---
    Why are you so mad, Cousin?
[18:28] ---
    I'll just poke you, you won't die!
[18:32] ---
    How did my mother treat you?
[18:33] ---
    Is this how you treat her?
[18:35] ---
    Her remains like this?
[18:38] ---
    Daddy!
[18:43] ---
    My aunt is long gone,
[18:45] ---
    what's the difference
[18:47] ---
    between her remains
[18:49] ---
    and dust?
[18:52] ---
    It's just the remains changing form,
[18:54] ---
    isn't it still there?
[18:57] ---
    Crying and sobbing,
[18:58] ---
    yet she ruthlessly took down Anle!
[19:01] ---
    And my good cousin,you actually have two faces, huh?
[19:06] ---
    Bleh!
[19:07] ---
    Why did I treat her like this?
[19:09] ---
    It's all your fault!
[19:11] ---
    You, this plague,
[19:12] ---
    you still have the nerve to come to Xianle Imperial Tomb to mourn!
[19:17] ---
    Yes, yes!
[19:19] ---
    Just like that,
[19:20] ---
    that's you!
[19:22] ---
    Hit hard!
[19:23] ---
    Kill mercilessly!
[19:24] ---
    Stop pretending to be a dignified,
[19:25] ---
    Daddy,
[19:26] ---
    burdened saint,
[19:27] ---
    what's happening to you!
[19:28] ---
    it's disgusting to see, ugh!
[19:29] ---
    Daddy!
[19:31] ---
    Qi Rong,
[19:33] ---
    you,
[19:33] ---
    get out here on your own!
[19:35] ---
    If you don't come out,
[19:36] ---
    believe me,
[19:37] ---
    I'll drag your soul out by your tongue!
[19:38] ---
    I'm not coming out!
[19:40] ---
    You come and pull me!
[19:41] ---
    Anyway, this possession is just some trash.
[19:44] ---
    It definitely won't tarnish His Highness's purity
[19:47] ---
    and radiance!
[19:51] ---
    Look!
[19:52] ---
    I've already turned your mother into ashes,
[19:55] ---
    aren't you going to kill me?
[19:57] ---
    You're not going to kill me, huh?
[19:59] ---
    Too late,
[20:00] ---
    you'll never find my ashes in your lifetime!
[20:01] ---
    Don't kill my daddy!
[20:03] ---
    Don't kill my daddy!
[20:08] ---
    Please!
[20:13] ---
    My Prince Cousin,
[20:14] ---
    you are a failure,
[20:16] ---
    such a colossal failure!
[20:18] ---
    You're always claiming to love your parents,
[20:20] ---
    Shut up!
[20:20] ---
    now their ashes are scattered!
[20:22] ---
    And you!
[20:23] ---
    You still can't make the move!
[20:25] ---
    Shut up!
[20:26] ---
    Look!
[20:27] ---
    Your real face is showing!
[20:29] ---
    My Prince Cousin,
[20:30] ---
    in this world, who understands you better than me?
[20:33] ---
    No one!
[20:37] ---
    I know you too well,
[20:39] ---
    even though you're pretending to be a mourning dog now.
[20:42] ---
    But actually?
[20:43] ---
    You're still so proud inside,
[20:45] ---
    not allowing any criticism!
[20:47] ---
    I say you failed,
[20:49] ---
    you must hate me deeply, right?
[20:52] ---
    Is your heart bleeding from the sting?
[20:55] ---
    Come on!
[20:57] ---
    Kill me,
[20:59] ---
    or is it because of this person,
[21:01] ---
    you can't?
[21:04] ---
    Let me see what you'll do!
[21:25] ---
    General Hua,
[21:26] ---
    I used to think I did the right thing.
[21:29] ---
    But now,
[21:31] ---
    I can’t tell right from wrong any more.
[21:33] ---
    General Hua,
[21:34] ---
    could you tell me
[21:36] ---
    where I went wrong?
[21:38] ---
    Why on earth?
[21:40] ---
    Master,
[21:42] ---
    what if the third person also doesn't have enough food?
[21:46] ---
    If those two people have food but,
[21:49] ---
    Anle.
[21:49] ---
    out of greed,
[21:50] ---
    Do you realize the grave mistake you've made?
[21:50] ---
    want more
[21:51] ---
    and become even more aggressive...
[21:51] ---
    So, you're the Imperial Preceptor!
[21:52] ---
    continuously demanding food from the third person,
[21:54] ---
    You hid it so well!
[21:55] ---
    what should be done?
[21:56] ---
    Now,
[21:57] ---
    we can work together to achieve great things!
[22:01] ---
    After this Golden Feast,
[22:03] ---
    we'll go eliminate Lang Qianqiu!
[22:06] ---
    Stirring up chaos in Yong An,
[22:08] ---
    never-ending turmoil!
[22:11] ---
    Trust me,
[22:12] ---
    You're not at fault.
[22:14] ---
    Kill Emperor Yong An,
[22:15] ---
    protect the remnants of Xianle.
[22:17] ---
    Kill Lord Anle,
[22:18] ---
    end the feuds between the two clans.
[22:20] ---
    And finally,
[22:22] ---
    die by Lang Qianqiu's hand,
[22:23] ---
    avenging the murderer.
[22:26] ---
    Three lives sacrificed
[22:27] ---
    for lasting peace.
[22:29] ---
    I would do the same.
[22:32] ---
    Nobody could do better than you.
[22:35] ---
    San Lang.
[22:37] ---
    Don't idealize someone too much.
[22:41] ---
    It's fine if you only view them from afar for a lifetime.
[22:45] ---
    But once you get close,
[22:47] ---
    get to know them.
[22:49] ---
    Perfect illusions will eventually shatter.
[22:55] ---
    When that time comes,
[22:56] ---
    you'll be greatly disappointed.
[22:59] ---
    Screw your Prince Xianle!
[23:02] ---
    Your ancestors and generations have been Prince Xianle!
[23:04] ---
    Plague God!
[23:05] ---
    He's just a Plague God!
[23:06] ---
    Give back the lives of my wife and children!
[23:08] ---
    Give back their lives!
[23:12] ---
    So,
[23:14] ---
    forget about it.
[23:17] ---
    No one will remember it soon anyway.
[23:21] ---
    Your Highness!
[23:24] ---
    It won't happen!
[23:27] ---
    I won't forget!
[23:32] ---
    I'll never forget you!
[23:53] ---
    Lian,
[23:56] ---
    this time
[23:57] ---
    I want to accompany you until the end.
[23:59] ---
