What happened
to "instantly"?
That's enough. The feathers on your duster are all over my face.
San Lang,
are you going back to Ghost City?
Aren't you returning to the Heavenly Capital too?
However,
if you want to return to Ghost City with me,
I'd welcome that too.
Maybe next time.
When you rebuild Paradise Manor,
I'll help you move the bricks.
There's no need for that.
It's good if you just sit and watch.
About Qianqiu,
regardless,
thank you.
I don't know what's right.
Perhaps
this isn't too bad either.
You're overthinking.
Just do what you want to do.

That guy
is pretty decent.
How did you become friends?
Your Highness,
you're really lucky!
Is that so?
Probably.
I think so too.
Feng Xin,
I'm sorry about that.
I'm not as skillful as him.
There's nothing to say.
That's enough.
You two,
check inside if there's anyone left,
then let's head back to the Heavenly Capital.
- How is it? - There's none here.
I can't believe Hua Cheng made bogus claims
that the Heavenly Court planted spies in Ghost City.
That's utterly ridiculous!
Do we need to plant spies under him?
Sir,
don't be so sure first.
The Wind Master is back.
- It's the Wind Master. - The Wind Master...
This trip to Ghost City
has been hard on you, Wind Master.
Not at all.
- It's part of my job. - Wind Master.
- Wind Master, well done. - Wind Master, good job.
Well...
What's going on?
In the past, we might not even convene every one or two months.
Now that incidents keep happening, they could even convene twice a day.
No wonder the His Majesty Heavenly Emperor is exhausted.
Can Crimson Rain Sought Flower just come
and go as he pleases?
Today, he could effortlessly snatch away the Crown Prince who offended him.
Can't he capture other Heavenly Officials tomorrow then?
This matter cannot be tolerated.
We must halt it in its tracks!
Hua Cheng has Ghost City under his control
and has so many followers.
Would he really care about a mere Paradise Manor?
I think
he didn't necessarily barge into the Heavenly Capital
because the Crown Prince offended him.
General Xuan Zhen,
you're wrong about that.
Everyone present heard it with their own ears.
Hua Cheng admitted it himself.
Speaking of which,
whose turn is it to guard the court this month?
Xianle Palace's entrance was ensorcelled and connected elsewhere,
yet no one noticed a thing.
Isn't this
a neglection of duty?
Yes.
It's me.
I'm the one on duty this month,
and I indeed neglected my duties.
Well,
I think we should
take things one step at a time.
First, let's clarify the Golden Feast bloodshed.
Your Majesty Heavenly Emperor,
we heard news from Prince Taihua.
What did he say?
He said
there's more to Golden Feast bloodshed than meets the eye.
He will handle it himself
- and he hopes others won't interfere. - What more is there to it?
He didn't specify,
but he said
not to let the Crown Prince succeed in self-degradation.
- Why is that? - What is the intention of Prince Taihua?
Even the aggrieved party isn't chasing the culprit.
Why are we getting worked up here?
Yes.
Also, Prince Taihua doesn't seem to be willing to reveal the full story.
We've lost all leverage.
Xuan Zhen,
Nan Yang,
assist Ming Guang
and reinforce the Heavenly Capital's security.
- Yes! - Yes!
The rest of you,
continue the investigation.
- Yes! - Yes!
Every time Prince Xianle
makes a mistake,
His Majesty Heavenly Emperor always investigates,
but nothing is settled.
It turns out that he's a big shot.
Indeed,
we failed to recognize it.
From now on, watch what you say.
Your Majesty Heavenly Emperor.
I've caused you trouble again.
This doesn't really count as trouble.
If you kept insisting you were responsible for the Golden Feast bloodshed,
that would be real trouble.
Actually...
That was
what happened.
Xianle,
that was an unpleasant
and thankless job.
I know.
Never mind,
you've always been this way.
Taihua is currently chasing after the Green Ghost,
but have you thought about
how to handle things afterward?
Not yet.
But right now,
I'm pondering something else.
Is there something interesting
you can share with me?
Did you send
the Earth Master to Ghost City?
Yes.
Why?
Because the one who first acted against the Heavenly Realm
was Hua Cheng.
Over the years,
Hua Cheng gets information too fast
and precise.
What actions can be taken,
what can't be done,
where the boundaries lie,
how to avoid violating them.
He knows everything
he originally shouldn't.
This time, he even opened a direct pathway to your Xianle Palace.
How can we explain all of this if he didn't plant spies
in the Heavenly Court?
Do you have evidence?
It's precisely because I don't
that I sent Ming Yi to infiltrate the Ghost Realm.
I just didn't anticipate
that the Heavenly Court's mole hadn't been identified yet
and Ming Yi ended up in his hands instead.
Fortunately, you managed to save him this time,
but finding Hua Cheng's spies again
will likely be even more difficult.
Did the problem originate
from the Heavenly Court or the Middle Court?
It's hard to say.
Except for you,
anyone else is a possibility.
Perhaps
just one,
perhaps
more.
So
it can even be Feng Xin or Mu Qing
or anyone?
Xianle,
I know you must like Hua Cheng now.
But still, be cautious.
Don't reveal everything to him.
Those who can become Devastations
endured suffering beyond what ordinary people can tolerate.
They either soar to the heavens
or are doomed to eternal damnation.
The Devastation Ghost King from the Copper Stove Mountain
is far more terrifying than you can imagine.
I don't know Hua Cheng's intentions and actions,
but he's thoroughly aware of the Heavenly Court's workings.
That
is quite disadvantageous.
San Lang...
Hua Cheng
wouldn't do anything excessively reckless.
After all,
with his power,
if he intended to cause chaos,
he would have done it a long ago, right?
If he didn't before,
then it's not likely
that he will now.
I hope so
but you know,
for the sake of three realms,
I can't take any risks.
My child,
let's go.
Me,
Anle,
and your Master,
the three of us Xianle people
all had a hand in it!
But what about my father and mother?
The merging of Yong'an and Xianle
was their greatest wish.
Now that their wish has come true,
how did they end up?
Isn't it easier to hate just one person
than a whole group?
I deserve whatever punishment I get.
I can't die anyway.
So why not put all the blame on me?
The fruit is delicious!
- Really? - I'm not lying.
It's sweet and juicy.
I'll take you with me next time.
All right!
Clench your fists!
Begin!
Hands up!
Keep your legs steady!
Punch!
Exert force!
One more time!
Push the palm!
Change steps quickly!
Continue!
Fly!
Father,
Mother,
I'm sorry.
I forgot to bring something to visit you.
Mother,
I met Qi Rong.
Over these centuries,
I don't know what he has been through.
He turned into a ghost
and caused many people to die.
Now someone wants to kill him.
The Heavenly Court probably won't spare him either.
I truly don't know what to do with him.
What's that sound?
Mother,
is that you?
No.
Mother already ceased suffering 800 years ago
and never became a resentful spirit.
Who could it be?
A child?
Then where's my mother?
Where's my mother?
Who are you?
Where have you taken my mother's body?
Who are you?
A tomb raider?
How did you get in?
Father.
Father!
Qi Rong!
Come out!
I'm going to kill you!
Don't!
Cousin.
We meet again.
Father.
Father, wake up!
Don't leave me behind.
Why are you mad, my cousin?
You won't die if I stab you.
How did my mother treat you?
Is this how you treat her,
how you treat her remains?
Father!
My aunt is long dead.
She's gone.
Is there a difference if her remains is a corpse
or dust?
It's just the remains changing form.
Isn't she still here?
Crying and sobbing,
yet you ruthlessly killed Anle.
My good cousin, you actually have two faces?
Disgusting!
Why did I treat her like this?
It's all your fault!
A Plague God like you
still have the nerve to come to the Xianle Imperial Tomb to mourn?
Yes.
That's it.
This is you!
Hit harder!
Kill mercilessly!
Stop pretending to be a dignified,
- Father, what's happening to you? - burdened saint.
- It's disgusting! - Father!
Qi Rong,
you
get out here on your own!
If you don't come out,
believe me, I'll drag your soul out by your tongue!
I'm not coming out!
Come and pull me out.
This body belongs to a trashy person anyway.
It definitely won't tarnish your purity
and radiance.
Look.
I've already turned your mother into ashes.
Aren't you going to kill me?
Aren't you?
If you miss this chance,
- you'll never find my ashes in this life! - Don't kill my father!
Don't kill my father!
Please.
Cousin,
you're a failure.
Such a colossal failure!
- You claim to love your parents. - Shut up.
Now when someone scattered their ashes,
you can't even kill him!
Shut up!
Look!
The real you is showing.
Cousin,
in this world, who understands you better than me?
No one!
I know you too well.
Even though you look like a homeless dog now,
actually,
you're still so proud deep inside,
not allowing any criticism!
You must hate me deeply
for saying that you failed, right?
Is your heart bleeding from the sting?
Come on!
Kill me!
Or you can't do it
because of this person?
Let me see what you'll do!
General Hua,
I used to think I did the right thing.
But now,
I can't tell right from wrong anymore.
General Hua,
can you tell me
where I didn't do well enough?
Where did I make a mistake?
Master,
what if the third person also doesn't have enough food?
If those two people have food,
-but want more out of greed, -Anle. Do you realize your grave mistake?
- and become even more aggressive - So you're the Imperial Preceptor!
by continuously demanding food from the third person,
- what should be done? - You hid it so well!
This is great.
We can work together to achieve great things!
After this Golden Feast bloodshed,
let's kill Lang Qianqiu,
stir up chaos in Yong'an,
and never let it have peace.
Listen to me. You weren't wrong.
You killed the emperor of Yong'an to protect Xianle citizens.
You killed Lord Anle
to end the two clans' disputes.
In the end,
you wanted to die in Lang Qianqiu's hands for the murderer to be executed.
Three lives were sacrificed
for lasting peace.
I would do the same.
Nobody could do better than you.
San Lang.
Don't put someone on a pedestal.
It's fine if you only view him from afar.
But once you get to know him up close,
the perfect illusion will eventually shatter.
When that time comes,
you'll be greatly disappointed.
Screw you, Prince Xianle!
Your ancestors have been Prince Xianle!
Plague God!
He's a Plague God!
Give back the lives of my wife and children!
Give back their lives!
So
forget about it.
No one will remember it soon anyway.
Your Highness!
It won't happen.
I won't forget it!
I'll never forget you!
Xie Lian.
This time,
I want to accompany you until the end.
