The Flame's Daughter (烈火如歌)

"Like a Song" by Jason Zhang

It's all thanks to you that I've reopened this underground palace.

This is the underground palace where previous sect leaders are buried.

Other than me and your mother, there are no other live person that have been here.

Even those servants that escorted the body to be buried and those that clean this place every day

must commit suicide and get buried here.

You are indeed an evil sect.

Such perfect plan.

You all have set me up from the start.

From the failure in assassinating me to getting brought inside Dark River,

until when I thought that I've controlled Yu Zihan,

all were within your plan. Am I right?

Right. You were like a sparrow,

walking step by step into the trap we've set up for you.

Your performance was outstanding. I really thought that you had amnesia.

You were also not easy to fool.

When you initially let me drink the forget potion,

I indeed forgot a lot of things.

When did the forget potion start to lose its effect?

You shouldn't have used Xunyi to test me.

The more you shouldn't have let me see Yin Xue and Zhan Feng.

That's why, you surely never hated Yu Zihan.

Why would I hate him?

He betrayed all of you.

He would never betray me.

Even if you have the evidence, even if he admits it personally,

I would never believe it.

You're wrong. He really betrayed all of you.

You're saying nonsense!

Afraid now? Your eyes earlier showed a bit of hesitation.

Senior Brother Yu would never betray me.

Tell me then. After you all have set up this trap,

letting Yu Zihan approach me,

has he ever told you his scheme?

He loves you and wants to obtain you,

that's why, in the last moment, he wavered and betrayed all of you.

You're lying.

Which part have I lied?

Senior Brother Yu is a very patient person.

You are afraid of being chased and killed up to here in Dark River, that's why, you're currently escaping for your life.

You left hastily, not like someone who has obtained great victory.

This is the underground palace. Unless you're fleeing for your life,

- why would you come to such an ominous place? - You...

Don't think that because your her daughter, you can talk to me that way.

The most benevolent thing my mother did was to let you live until today.

Take her away and lock her in her room.

Yes, Sect Leader.

Are they all here too? Where are they now?

Miss, don't worry. Dark River suffered huge casualties.

There aren't that many people guarding you anymore.

Moreover, Anye Luo has 3 hostages in his hands.

We don't need to fear of anything happening to you.

What's wrong with you, Xunyi?

Why are you crying?

My mother is dead.

Anye Jue?

Xunyi...

Miss, you don't need to force yourself to console me.

I know that she previously harmed Young Master Yu and Jinglei.

I know very well.

I understand them all.

Miss, don't worry.

I'll go ask around for news about the two young masters and Sir now.

Xunyi, please contain your grief.

Bi'er.

Young Master, it's the forest already up front.

How is it? How is this forest?

It's just like what Imperial Bodygard Huang said.

Bring over those 2 live hostages.

Move.

Bring us in.

No. We can't.

If we bring you all in, Sect Leader will skin us and pull out all our tendons.

Afraid of Anye Luo? Aren't you afraid that I'll kill you two?

Move!

Move! Hurry up!

Young Master.

Be careful.

Young Master, let's quickly go.

- Bi'er. - I'm fine.

Young Master, I'm fine.

Bi'er...

Everyone is fine.

Liexiang, are you alright?

If you didn't stop me, I would have saved at least one of them.

Are there lives more important or yours?

Without them, who can enter?

We can think of another way!

- Tell me then. Tell me of another way. - I...

Both of you calm down first.

I actually have an idea on how to enter this forest.

The fog is too thick and we're unable to see any shadow of a human.

How are we going to get it? You're not planning to make human shield, right?

Wait for me to finish.

This enchanted fog spell

can only be broken by a martial arts master. Before, I also ran into an enchanted maze.

That time, I didn't believe in evil spells and brought 10 zhang of red string.

I'll tie one on every tree I pass.

In the end, I still circled back.

I've got trapped for several days.

It was still the person who set up the enchantment that saved me before I was able to get out.

Hall Leader Murong, we already know the greatness of this spell.

Hurry and just say how to dispel it.

Afterwards, the person who set up the spell told me that unless the trees are destroyed,

it's impossible for anyone to get out.

That's right, burn all these trees. If there are no more trees, the spell will naturally be broken too.

We can't. We also thought of burning them.

But if the fire gets too big, it's hard to control it. We might get in danger.

No. Fire won't work.

Young Master Lei, your Thunderbolt Clique are experts in bombs.

Do you have bombs with lesser strength

that can break the tree but not cause a fire?

There is.

Hurry and bring it out then.

I didn't bring it with me. I still have to get it.

Hurry and go.

Back to Jiangnan?

No need. There is one in the nearest branch. Just give me half a day and I'll be able to get them.

I'll go now.

Xunyi, come over here.

Sect Leader.

How is Miss?

Miss has been emotional and kept venting her anger.

I dare not talk much with her.

That character is so unlike that of her mother.

She's not Ming'er after all.

Your mother is dead. Are you sad?

Your mother loyally died for Dark River. I will treat you well.

Good child.

- Sect Leader. - What is it?

People from Flaming Hills are below the mountain, outside the forest.

I didn't go to find them and they instead came to my doors?

That's good then.

Behead Zhan Feng and throw out his head to dampen their spirits.

Yes!

What are you planning to do?

Looks like your Sect Leader wants his life.

Bring me to see your Sect Leader.

Miss!

Sect Leader had Sir brought to the main hall and even said he's killing Young Master Feng!

What?!

Yin Xue o Yin Xue, you also have a day like this.

Just to help others, you almost lost your life.

At least, I've lived happily.

These past years, have you ever lived happily?

In the road of the netherworld, you also won't be able to see Anye Ming.

Did you come to see me just to get killed?

So it seems you really want to see her. How are you going to face her?

It was Zhan Feitian who killed her! It's him, not me!

Even your blood has changed color.

Your poison has entered your blood and bones. You're incurable.

So what?

You still will save me...save me to fulfill your dream.

What do you have that I'm unable to obtain that I need you to fulfill it for me?

Anye Ming, the woman you can never obtain.

What did you say?

Yin Xue! Yin Xue!

You can't kill me. If you kill me,

Yin Xue!

you will never obtain Anye Ming.

What did you say?!

What did you say? What did you say? Are you old?

Stop using her name to fool me.

I didn't kill you all because of Yu Zihan's request.

He's life is in danger now, so it's impossible for him to save you all too.

If you feel that I'm fooling you, then just kill me now.

She's now just white bones.

You think I will believe that in this world, there is a resurrection spell?

But her soul is still around.

Where?

Does she frequently enter your dream?

Your will is too strong. That's why, despite so many years have passed,

she wasn't able to leave.

She is existing inside your heart.

- And then? - I just need one person.

A magnetic field.

A person

that feels very close to Anye Ming. It's better if

she also have blood that's very close to Anye Ming. This way,

I can make this person have Anye Ming's memories.

She'll then become Anye Ming's new corpse.

For example, her. I've previously sealed Lie Ruge for 3 years.

I've also sealed her memories when she was heavily injured.

I tried to convert her to my lover 100 years ago.

If I'm able to do it before, I then will be able to help you do the same thing now.

What you mean is, you're able to resurrect Ming'er?

No. Just letting Lie Ruge inherit Anye Ming's memories of you.

- How long do you need? - Maybe a few months.

Or maybe, a few years.

How would I know that you're not just delaying time and lying to me?

It's just a memory.

If you dare to gamble, then the winning price is Anye Ming.

If you refuse to join, then just kill us two.

The power for us to live or die are all in your hands, right?

I don't believe you...

You said that you stored the memories of your lover a hundred years ago into my body.

That's why, the person that you love is her and not me.

Sorry.

I can choose to die then. Anyway, this body is mine. I won't allow anyone to use it.

That is your mother!
