Back From the Brink (护心)

She wishes to seal off Yongzhou City.

We mustn't stay here any longer.

You will be implicated.

I'm not afraid. So what are you afraid of?

Don't worry.

The area above ground is no longer safe.

Let's head underground.

Be careful.

Xiange,

what place is this?

Yongzhou City is quite far away

from Qingqiu.

As the relationship

between the Taoists and the spirits

grows tenser,

to help monsters

that had lost their home

to avoid the Taoists,

I started to build

this underground city in secret

a few years ago.

Although it doesn't look the best,

it's the best I could do.

Be careful.

Is it easier for you if you hold this?

It's much better.

Go there and bring them here.

Be careful.

Fifth.

Bring him to his resting spot.

Yes, miss.

Let's go.

I'll check that place out.

Be careful.

Be careful.

Hang in there.

Be careful.

Is he okay?

He'll be fine after taking the medicine.

Take the medicine first.

Don't worry.

Miss.

We're still sending the monsters

we saved to this place.

However,

the number of disciples of the Guanghan Sect on the streets is increasing.

If we keep this up,

I'm afraid

this place will get found out.

Be more careful.

Try to save as many as you can.

Yes.

So, all these years,

you spent all of Wangyu Tower's profit

on this underground city.

This place is huge.

How many monsters have you saved?

I didn't save that many of them before today.

However, the Arena was destroyed.

All of the monsters had escaped.

So,

you guys blew up the Arena, right?

We didn't expect it

to be such a huge deal.

You're a human.

Why are you trying so hard to save the monsters?

I was raised by a spirit.

I'm just trying

to return the favor here.

It's a shame that taking them in

is the best I could do.

Lend me a hand.

With the flow of Zi and Wu,

all is one.

Listen to my call, dragon scale.

And purge all sickness.

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

Stop acting tough.

I'm healed.

I'm healed too.

I'm healed!

Me, too. -We're all fine now.

Sir, were you casting

a Spirit Dragon Spell just now?

You...

Are you the Spirit Dragon, Tianyao?

You know my name?

It is you!

All hail the Dragon King!

All hail the Dragon King!

All hail the Dragon King!

He's the Spirit Dragon that vanished.

The Dragon King has returned!

There's hope for the Spirit Clan now!

All hail the Dragon King!

All hail the Dragon King!

You guys are injured.

Spare the formalities.

Get up.

Thank you, Your Majesty!

The Spirit Dragon has returned.

Everyone, do not give up on hope.

I've already ordered my men

to dig a corridor.

It'll be completed within three days.

By then,

you guys will regain freedom again.

This is great!

We're free!

We're free!

We're free!

We're free!

We're free!

This is great!

We're free!

Thank you.

Although you're powerful,

you shouldn't act tough.

I've saved you

many times.

Your life is considered precious.

I'm still waiting for you

to retrieve the rest of your body

and become the Spirit Dragon that can travel anywhere

so that you can repay me

and help me make a fortune.

Now that the Arena is blown to bits,

there's no need for you

to hide your identity any longer.

As for the pact of servitude,

I'll terminate it.

In the future,

you can meet her

as the Spirit Dragon.

Terminate.

I will definitely

repay your kindness in the future.

In the future?

What about today?

I've unlocked my mind's eye.

I wish to check it out.

Can you teach me

how to enter my mind's eye?

It's your first time, right?

I'll bring you in.

Must we

do it like this?

Yeah.

All these black rocks,

what are they?

They should be the seal in your body.

Seal?

Why is there a seal in my body?

Who placed it here?

Is it because

I possess the Heart Protecting Scale?

Seals of such levels

can only be placed by grandmasters.

Did it remind you of someone?

No.

I was wondering

how to break the seal.

As long as your power

exceeds the power of the seal owner,

the seal will be dispelled.

So, how long do you think I need to train

with my aptitude?

If you do train hard enough,

the seal may be dispelled

one day.

Since this seal is that powerful,

I think even Suying

cannot dispel it.

Not really.

Suying already obtained the power of a master

20 years ago.

Do you wish to bet on that possibility?

If so, I think I'll train hard

and strive to return this stupid thing to you.

After this,

if you wish to enter your mind's eye again,

you must calm your heart, focus your mind,

and focus your consciousness on your dantian.

There goes your dinner.

Look at what you've done.

Since you're awake,

you should get dinner yourself next time.

Where am I?

This is the underground city.

It's a shelter for monsters like you all.

The underground again?

Is your boss a groundhog?

She loves digging holes, huh?

Hey, you.

Wait.

Where's the couple?

What couple?

That couple.

Who?
