Ping Mo Ce: The Red Sword of Eternal Love (平魔策之红颜长情剑)

The popularity of this book on the other side of the world

marks a new era in human civilization.

Maritime trade brought many new things

to the Central Plain of China,

as well as an unprecedented catastrophe.

Stay here.

Qingyin!

The Blood Monsters aren't real monsters.

They're humans infected with an exotic plague.

The origin of the plague was called

The Original.

The Original turned civilians into

monsters who feed on human blood.

They fear intense light

and only come out at night.

They have no memories.

They feel nothing.

Their only task

is to bring fresh human blood to the Cave

and feed the Original.

I am Yue Qingyin.

Thank you for saving me.

Miss.

We all want to kill the Monsters.

No need for formality.

I am Ouyang Yi.

This is my big brother, Ouyang Chun.

I'm Shangguan Peiru.

Thank you for your help.

Sis.

We've killed many Blood Monsters so far.

How come this one was so strong?

Seems that the rumor is real.

What rumor?

That the full moon of the Mid-Autumn Festival

will empower the Monsters with great strength.

Luckily, we've found a secret tunnel

leading to the Cave of the Original.

A secret tunnel?

Yes.

People are heading there,

hoping to sneak into the Cave by the Festival,

kill the Original

and end the plague.

If you don't mind,

can we come with you?

Sure.

Those who survived all became heroes.

Ouyang Chun became a household name.

But I've long put all this behind me.

You? A captor of the Royal Guard?

You must've picked up this token somewhere.

Master Huang, you'd better confess now.

I promise I'll let you die with dignity.

Bluffing when you're already dead meat?

Aren't you afraid to be

raped and killed by them?

They've been doing evil things

at your command, right?

As long as you confess,

I'll spare their lives.

I have killed many people in my life,

none of whom is as stupid as you.

Fine.

I'll confess. I did it.

I'm intrigued to know

what you're going to do next.

I'll arrest you and bring you to justice.

Han Shiren!

Why do you always snatch my case?

There are so many other captors!

I was about to close this one.

You're no better.

Have you forgotten

about the case I worked on for three months?

You snatched it right before I was about to close it.

Also, I just saved your ass.

You should be thanking me.

Right?

Yeah.

Pah!

Who asked you to save me?

I was waiting for his confession.

It'd be against the rules

to arrest him before he confesses.

Just some hooligans.

Confess, my ass.

Kill them already.

Go.

Tie yourself up.

Why bother?

Kill him! Case closed.

Han Shiren.

I won't feel a shred of guilt

when I snatch your next case.

I wasn't gonna snatch it.

You can take all the credit.

Keep the commission too.

Why is a cheapskate like you so generous?

What do you want?

You.

Cover your ears.

I got a big case.

Maybe you can give me some clues.

The almighty Captor Han

needs clues from others?

Not others.

You.

Han Shiren.

You want me to give you clues.

But you haven't said a word about the case.

What's wrong with you?

I think we can only discuss the case here.

Have you seen the Love Sword before?

Is this why you brought me here?

No, I haven't.

Wait.

Han Shiren.

I've told you

not to bring up the Ouyang family to me.

It's a murder case.

The victim is Ouyang Yi's wife.

She was murdered three years ago.

Why wait till now to investigate?

Her maiden family reported the murder.

But shortly after,

they wanted to withdraw the report.

They said she'd died of a disease and they were mistaken.

But two days ago,

this was sent to The Royal Guard.

I am sure

that this was sent from the Ouyang Residence.

It's not human blood on it,

but chicken blood.

[Ouyang Yi's wife didn't die three years ago. Her body was missing.]

There are dozens of captors here.

But once they knew it's about the Ouyang family,

no one would take the case.

Because Ouyang Chun killed the Original?

Don't you forget

about the "Wulin Supreme" plaque

bestowed by the Emperor.

Qingyin.

I know you don't want to talk about the Ouyang family.

But you have fought

side by side with them.

I'm sure you can help me with the clues.

What does the Sword have to do with the case?

Have you heard of

"No man who's seen the Sword stays alive"?

Yes.

People started to challenge Ouyang Chun for the Sword

about three years ago,

right after

the death of Ouyang Yi's wife.

Countless people have been killed by the Sword.

But where the challenge takes place remains unknown.

Mother.

I'm going to the challenge.

More strangely, Ouyang Chun would normally take on

only one challenge per month.

But in the past month,

he's been taking on three challenges in a row.

Better hit the road after you finish.

Win it.

Keep this in mind.

If the location was disclosed,

you two will never see the Sword ever.

Just a challenge. Why so mysterious？

Ouyang Chun.

Are you afraid of losing

and becoming a laughing stock?

Ouyang Chun.

They all think of you as a hero.

When you die,

we'll make sure you have an elaborate funeral.

Bring it on.

Who do you want?

Excuse me...

We're not open to visitors.

Please tell your master that

an old friend...

Please leave.

My name is Yue Qingyin.

Miss, please leave.

Qingyin!

Master Chun.

Ms. Qingyin.

Warrior Ma.

Long time no see.

There is no Warrior Ma anymore.

I'm a butler now.

Master Chun.

I'll take the horse.

Okay.

Come on in.

Okay.

How time flies!

It's been five years.

Yes. Another Mid-Autumn Festival.
