Xie Lian.
Your Highness.
Lingwen?
It has been a while.
I've missed you.
Your Highness.
Let's catch up another day.
There's an urgent matter right now
and I'll have to ask you
to return to the Heavenly Capital.
Is it related to the Half-Moon Pass?
Yes.
Once you return,
please come directly to Shenwu Hall.
Shenwu Hall.
His Majesty Heavenly Emperor
has returned to the capital!
- Hurry! Go to Shenwu Hall.
- Why is everyone
Could His Majesty Heavenly Emperor
have returned to the capital?
Let's gather at Shenwu Hall.
- Let's go.
- Let's go.
His Majesty Heavenly Emperor
has finally returned!

Why is this troublemaker here too?
- Go!
- Go!
Hello, it has been a while.
Your Highness!
Wait a moment.
Wait a moment.
Wait.
Your Highness!
You're going to Shenwu Hall for a meeting.
How can you forget your waist badge?
How can you go without it?
- Hundreds of years old and still reckless.
- Right, whoever dares to call me now
- Quick, let me tie it for you first.
- must have real courage.
Hello!
Hello, Your Highness.
- Hurry, Your Highness!
- Why are you pushing me?
- You still have to go to Shenwu Hall.
- How can he
- His Majesty might be waiting for you.
- compare to Prince Taihua?
- Your Highness, hurry!
- Right!
This is really embarrassing.
You never know
where you'll meet people in life.
Yes, they're both princes.
Prince Taihua is the true embodiment
of noble elegance!
Unlike this one.
Down on his luck and picking up garbage.
Of course.
The Yong'an Kingdom is stronger
than the Xianle Kingdom.
- Each place nurtures its own people.
- How dare he come back?
- It's a small world.
- So unlucky.
- It's nothing.
- Look at him!
But comparison is the thief of joy.
Your Highness.
No way.
Again?
Let's go together.
I think everyone has already arrived.
Please be careful in the hall later.
How will General Pei Xiu
be punished this time?
He'll probably be exiled.
That's all right.
- It's not too severe.
- Yes.
There's a chance
he could return to his post,
but he probably
couldn't survive until then.
The believers have scattered.
So the god no longer exists.
By the way, Lingwen,
have you found any news about the boy
with the face plague
from Mount Yujun last time?
I'm sorry,
but not yet.
We'll intensify our search.
Thank you.
SHENWU HALL
Xianle,
you're here.
Your Majesty,
some heavenly officials patrolling outside
are still unable to return.
No problem.
Just inform me beforehand.
Xianle,
I suppose you already know
why I summoned you here today.
I can probably guess,
but I thought the Half-Moon Pass incident
is already settled.
How this matter will be resolved
is hard to say for sure.
Nice to meet you, Your Highness.
Thank you for your kindness
towards Pei Xiu.
It's no big deal.
It's my honor to meet you,
General Pei Ming.
Isn't this General Pei Xiu's clone?
Why is he injured so badly?
General Pei Ming,
what do you mean by this?
While interrogating General Pei Xiu,
I discovered something strange.
Although Pei Xiu's clone
is not as powerful as his true self,
with his abilities,
he should have been able
to hold on his own against Wrath.
However,
someone beat him to the point
of being unable to fight back.
So I continued to inquire.
It turned out that at that time,
a young man in red with Prince Xianle
slaughtered hundreds
of Half-Moon soldiers in an instant.
May I ask you, Your Highness,
who exactly
is this young man in red?
I really can't remember clearly.
Some merchants were trapped
in the Half-Moon Pass at that time too.
Maybe he was one of them.
That's impossible.
I heard from Pei Xiu
that you were very close
to that young man.
How could you forget so quickly?
General Pei Ming.
Everything you're saying
is just General Pei Xiu's side
of the story
and he is also guilty.
The credibility of what you're saying
needs to be weighed carefully.
In that case,
could Generals Nan Yang and Xuan Zhen
please come forward to help us out a bit?
How about it,
Generals?
It's him.
The Deadly Scimitar.
It's the eerie scimitar Hua Cheng used
in the duel in the worshipers' dreams.
That's the demonic blade
that shattered the souls
- and bodies of several martial gods.
- Thank you, generals.
So my guess was right.
If the young man in red
with Prince Xianle is really him,
the matter isn't that simple.
General Pei,
are you suggesting His Highness colluded
with the Ghost King of Desperation
and falsely accused General Pei Xiu?
Who is he?
Not necessarily.
It's just that the person
is very competent
and might have deceived His Highness
to cover up his tracks.
General Pei,
if you don't trust me,
you should at least trust the Wind Master.
The Wind Master heard
General Pei Xiu's admission of guilt.
You can also ask
His Majesty Heavenly Emperor now
whether or not I was deceived.
Besides, let's say, for argument's sake,
that it was indeed Hua Cheng.
What does that have to do
with what General Pei Xiu did?
Just because
he is the Ghost King of Desperation,
can he be falsely accused
of something he didn't do?
Anyway, I think
we need to reconsider this matter.
The Half-Moon Imperial Preceptor better
be handed over for further interrogation.
- For what?
- General, forget it.
There was no deception.
I did it.
I've let you down.
What did the Half-Moon Imperial Preceptor
do to confuse you?
Shut up.
General.
I dare to admit what I've done.
Since I was caught,
I'm not afraid of any consequences!
How could General Pei Xiu
Enough.
The Half-Moon Pass incident is over.
Take Pei Xiu away
and exile him in a few days.
- Yes.
- Yes.
But the wounds on this empty shell
were left by the Deadly Scimitar.
That's another matter.
Your Majesty,
please examine it thoroughly.
I'll investigate this thoroughly
so you can all rest easy.
Let's call it a day for now.
Xianle.
You stay.
Yes.
Qingxuan,
for the sake of your brother,
can you not cause any more trouble?
General Pei Ming,
stop using my brother to pressure me.
- I'm not afraid of him.
- You
You.
Pei Xiu ended up this way because of you.
It was his own fault.
What does that have to do with me?
Your Highness?
Your Highness?
What's going on?
The meeting is over.
It's over?
What was discussed just now?
I didn't hear anything.
It's nothing important.
Let's go back.
Why did everyone leave all of a sudden?
By the way, thank you for waking me up!
Crimson Rain Sought Flower,
The Deadly Scimitar.
So
what's the deal?
- Xianle.
- I'm sorry.
So do you admit you were wrong?
Yes.
Then tell me
what was your mistake?
I don't think you know.
You're all grown up now.
After I sent you down there 800 years ago,
you should have
kept in touch with me regularly.
But instead,
I didn't hear back from you.
You were torturing yourself
down there alone.
Even after you ascended,
you didn't report back to Shenwu Hall.
If it were anyone else
showing such disrespect,
Lingwen Hall
would have held them accountable.
Your apology better not be
for the times you stabbed me with a sword.
I am not accepting it.
Like you said yourself,
what must be forgotten
should be forgotten.
How could I forget?
Then let's look forward to the future.
We still need you for many things.
I'm just a lowly immortal now.
I'm not needed.
I just hope not to cause trouble.
Why do you belittle yourself?
You've done a good job
with these two things since you're back.
I might have offended General Pei Ming
right after I returned.
You don't have to worry about Ming Guang.
As for you,
tell me honestly.
What trouble are you in again this time?
Your Majesty, I swear.
I just happened to meet
a very interesting little kid.
An encounter
with a little kid?
The Ghost King of Desperation?
Do you know the consequences
of saying that
in front of other heavenly officials?
I do.
Your Majesty,
you're not really
going to interrogate me, are you?
Of course I know you won't conspire
with the Ghost Realm.
Thank you for trusting me, your Majesty.
But there's an important matter
that I'm afraid
I can't entrust you to handle.
What is it?
Seven days ago,
a huge dragon made of fire
suddenly soared into the sky
deep within the mountains.
There were countless witnesses,
but no one reported any casualties.
Heavenly Dragon's Roar Method.
The flame is strong,
but it does not hurt anyone.
They just show its enormous size.
It's a cry for help.
Exactly.
It must be
from an official in the Heavenly Court
who has no other options.
Are there any officials
from the Heavenly Court
who has been missing recently?
The reason for summoning everyone
back to the capital
isn't just
due to the Half-Moon Pass incident.
It's mainly to take advantage
of this chance
to investigate their whereabouts.
Aside from the Rain and Earth Masters,
who are known for their elusive nature,
all the heavenly officials
who couldn't make it back have responded.
What about retired heavenly officials?
Then the scope is even wider.
Lingwen Hall has been busy
with this recently.
Could it be that there is a big nest
of ghosts and monsters nearby
that would make a heavenly official
sacrifice himself to ask for help?
There is.
Do you know the Ghost City, Xianle?
I've heard of it.
Ghost City is at the border
between Yin and Yang.
It's the most prosperous place
in the Ghost Realm.
Exactly.
That area is full of shady characters,
the perfect place
to hide heavenly officials' tracks.
However, the Heaven and Ghost Realm
have always been clearly demarcated.
We can't intrude without any evidence.
So this time, I need someone to go down
to the realm in secret to investigate.
But if you mention it in the hall,
news might leak out
and the enemy will be alerted.
Exactly.
Then
I volunteer to take on the task.
I originally thought of you too,
but
Your Majesty, what's the concern?
First,
the east is under the jurisdiction
of Lang Qianqiu.
That's not a problem for me.
Second,
do you know
whose turf the Ghost City is now?
Could it be Hua Cheng?
It seems like you have
a good relationship with him,
so that's not a problem.
But I'm afraid
he might be involved in this.
If it's difficult for you,
I'll think of someone else.
I'll go.
Actually, Crimson Rain Sought Flower
doesn't seem to have malicious intentions.
Xianle,
I know you have good judgment.
But I also know
that you always give people
the benefit of the doubt.
Don't make me sound like
an inexperienced little princess.
That phrase doesn't apply to me
at all right now.
I shouldn't comment
on your friends.
However,
be careful with Hua Cheng.
Especially of his eerie demonic scimitar.
The Deadly Scimitar.
Such demonic weapons
require cruel determination
and bloody sacrifices to forge
and are cursed from creation.
Don't touch it
and don't let it hurt you.
Otherwise, the consequences
are unpredictable.
I understand.
Fine.
I'm most at ease
leaving this matter to you.
But it may be difficult
for one person to go.
Are there any heavenly officials
you want to accompany you?
Anyone is fine.
It's better if he's easy to get along with
and has more magical power
so I can borrow some at any time.
For the first criterion,
you just denied Nan Yang and Xuan Zhen.
How are you doing with them?
Haven't you spoken with them?
We've exchanged a few words.
It has been so many years,
yet you only spoke a few words?
I heard when you ascended this time,
you destroyed many
of the heavenly officials' heavenly halls,
including Nan Yang's.
I already paid that back.
However,
it's also thanks to you.
You should thank Nan Yang.
I heard from Lingwen
that he went to Lingwen Hall in private
and said that you don't need
to pay the rest.
No wonder so many merits
were cleared without me knowing.
I see.
Since Nan Yang
doesn't want Lingwen to tell you,
you might as well pretend you don't know.
Keeping things to oneself is indeed
just an empty phrase in this world.
What about the Wind Master?
The Wind Master is very nice,
but I don't know if she's willing.
The Wind Master
is highly skilled in magic,
has a lively temperament,
and loves making friends.
He fits your criterion
of being easy to get along with.
When he came to see me last time,
he also spoke well of you.
If it's fine with you,
go with the Wind Master this time.
In any case,
do your best.
Don't force yourself
when faced with problems
and don't get into dangerous situations.
Look at what you're saying.
I won't.
All right then.
Go back to Xianle Palace and rest first.
I'll send someone
to inform the Wind Master.
All right.
Xianle Palace?
Yes, I've approved the construction
of a new one for you.
You can't really squeeze
into such a tiny run-down temple, right?
It's more fitting for a lowly immortal
to live in a lowly temple.
Your Highness, how are you?
Fellow Daoist, how are you?
Come on. Let's go down and walk around.
Fellow Daoist, I'm waiting for someone.
- Who are you waiting for?
- I'm waiting for the Wind Master.
I'm right here, aren't I?
You're Wind Master
You're the Wind Master?
I am the Wind Master.
Do you doubt that?
Don't you know who I am?
You've never heard of my name,
Wind Master Qing Xuan?
But the Wind Master has always been
Has always been what?
Nothing.
But earlier, why
What's wrong?
Is my female disguise not pretty?
It is, but
If it's pretty, then there's no "but".
Of course I disguised myself that way
because it's pretty.
Speaking of which,
when we go to Ghost City this time,
we also have
to hide our identities, right?
You really don't want to try?
No.
There is no need.
Speaking of which,
Generals Pei Ming and Pei Xiu's
ascension to the heavens
is already a remarkable story.
But the Wind and Water Masters
achieving the same feat
is even more extraordinary.
It's not a big deal.
My brother and I are from the same place,
learned from the same master,
and cultivated on the same path.
So naturally, we ascended in the same era.
Wind Master,
I heard General Pei mention
your brother at Shenwu Hall.
He seems to have
a good relationship with him.
You reported General Pei Xiu this time.
Will your brother
No.
My brother has long known
that I don't like Pei Ming.
Won't this cause animosity
between the Water Master and General Pei?
It's better if that happens.
I hope my brother doesn't hang out
with that Three Malignant Tumors
for too long.
Three Malignant Tumors?
It's the three officials' nicknames
in the Heavenly Court
who have a bad reputation,
but a close relationship.
Ming Guang, Lingwen, and my brother.
It's not Xie Lian, Xie Lian, and Xie Lian?
This time,
it was Pei Xiu's fault in the first place.
Pei Ming wanted to frame
the Half-Moon Imperial Preceptor
and save Pei Xiu.
That can't happen!
Whether it's human, god, or ghost,
you must take responsibility
for your actions.
How can he bully
a little girl?
You're truly a hero with a kind heart.
You're not bad yourself.
I've vaguely heard some rumors
about the Half-Moon Pass,
but I never had the time to look into it.
My brother scolded me a few times.
So with all the other things on my mind,
I forgot about it.
When I heard you asking in the
Spiritual Communication Array that day,
it reminded me so I went to check it out.
Who knew
that you didn't just ask about it,
but you also went there yourself.
I thought,
this person is really something!
Wind Master,
why did you suddenly change
to a woman again?
Your Highness,
to be honest,
in this form,
my magical power is stronger.
No wonder she's worshipped
as the Wind Mistress.
However, Your Highness,
a woman with strong Yin energy
can conceal her tracks more easily
in Ghost City.
My magical power isn't strong enough
to transform.
I can lend you some.
Isn't that why the Heavenly Emperor
send me here?
Wind Master, just lend me your power
when we get into a fight.
What a good wine!
WINE
Do you want a taste?
Thank you.
Can't you handle your liquor?
I can,
but I go crazy if I drink too much.
I'll just take a sip.
All right.
What time is it?
It's 11 p.m.
Yes.
It's about time.
Let's get rid of the light.
Follow me.
I'm so happy!
The Ghost City is open again.
I'm going to touch up my face.
Didn't you just do that not long ago?
It's gone bad again.
The person who did it for me last time
said it could last for a year,
but it has only been
less than half a year.
Hey, who are you guys?
When did they catch up with us?
We didn't see them
when we left the grave.
Which part of the cemetery are you from?
I feel like I've never seen you before.
We
came from a faraway cemetery.
So naturally we've never met.
Yes.
We came all the way here
to catch Ghost City.
Hey, girl.
You
Your face
looks very well maintained.
Yes, it's not rotten at all.
Girl, where did you get your face done?
Do you have any secret tips?
Can you recommend any good shops?
Your face looks pretty good too!
- It's all right.
- Yes, it's very nice.
I also think my face is really good.
What are you looking at?
Don't look if you're not buying!
Who is it?
My goodness, young man,
you're quite handsome.
This is bad.
I separated with the Wind Master.
Excuse me, miss. Let's talk it out.
Gosh.
Did you call me "miss"?
Who'd still call me that nowadays?
Don't leave, young man.
I like you.
Come have some fun with me for a night.
I won't take your money.
I'll even pay you to come with me.
Miss.
Why are you calling me "miss"?
Who wants to be called that?
Enough talking.
So are you coming with me or not?
I'm sorry.
Do you like me?
The truth that can be expressed in words
is not eternal and always correct.
Won't you even take a free ride?
Are you even a man?
Yes.
Then prove it to me!
He thinks you're old and ugly,
so he refuses you.
Why bother offering yourself?
No.
Actually, I have
a medical condition.
I'm sorry.
No wonder you're like this.
You pig. Why didn't you say earlier?
What did you say?
What's wrong with a pig?
- You beast!
- The female ghost Lan Chang
- I knew something was off with you!
- is causing trouble again!
Now, you've really crossed the line!
I'll fight you!
- This writing
- Get lost! Scram!
Let go of me! Let go!
I can still gamble!
I can still gamble!
Sir.
Are you here to play?
I didn't bring any money with me.
Can I just take a look?
It's okay if you don't bring any money.
Most people who gamble here
don't use money anyway.
Sir, please follow me.
I'm so pissed off!
It's all mine!
This way, sir.
I bet my hand!
ODD
No need.
Is he betting his hand?
Who wants his lousy hand?
Yes.
Forget about one hand.
Even if it's your pitiful life,
it's not worth a penny here.
San Lang.
