Back From the Brink (护心)

Let me go!

Let me go!

I'm the Elder of Chenxing Mountain's Discipline Hall.

How dare you show such audacity?

You released a guilty disciple without permission.

How dare you complain about me

in front of Senior Lingxiao now?

Master,

I did intend to release Yanhui last night.

I admit my mistake.

I'll bear any punishments.

But Lingfei!

As the Elder

of Chenxing Mountain's Discipline Hall,

she activated the Starfall Terrace Deadly Formation

and abused her power to harm her fellow junior

due to her grudge against Yanhui!

Now,

Yanhui has fallen into the Obsidian River.

Unfortunately, she died.

It's all because of Lingfei's selfish behavior.

Master,

please uphold justice

for Yanhui.

Yanhui is Chenxing Mountain's sinner.

And she was

taken away by the evil dragon.

She practiced the skills of the evil dragon

and colluded with Qingqiu.

Her sin was unpardonable.

You think she deserves justice?

Senior,

that disciple of yours colluded with the spirits.

She betrayed our clan.

She was no longer a part of us.

It was more than reasonable

for me to kill her.

She deserved to die!

Kneel!

Senior,

are you sure you want to punish me

for that sinful disciple of yours?

Lingfei,

do you have no remorse at all?

Killing her

was the best thing

I'd done in my life.

Why should I be remorseful?

You shattered my Chenxing Mountain jade ring?

As the sect leader of Chenxing Mountain, this is my order.

From today onward,

Lingfei's status as the Elder of Discipline Hall

will be revoked.

She will receive 50 rods

and be imprisoned within the Spirits Gaol for the rest of her life.

Who dares to touch me?

I'm the sister of Master Suying.

I'm the symbol of friendship

between Chenxing Mountain and Guanghan Sect.

Everyone in the world knows

that Yanhui colluded with the evil dragon.

You're actually

punishing me for a sinner like her?

Aren't you afraid

that you might offend the Guanghan Sect?

Lingxiao,

you actually humiliated me because of Yanhui?

You're biased!

Why are you always biased toward Yanhui?

Why?

What gives her the right for you to side with her?

What gives?

Why must she still obstruct me even when she's dead?

Punish her!

Lingxiao!

You let me down first!

Don't blame me for this!

All those who humiliated me

must die!

You harnessed the dark aura in secret?

My mind's eye!

You destroyed my mind's eye!

There's no way for me to cultivate my powers now!

You're already a dark practitioner.

You deserve to be slain!

Master Lingxiao,

how dare you use such moves against Su'e?

She has fallen into darkness.

But her mind's eye has been destroyed.

I'll bring her back to Guanghan Sect

and discipline her myself.

If you practice favoritism

and defend a dark practitioner like her,

that means you'll be going against

the sect's regulations and affect our reputation.

When it comes to showing favoritism,

Master Lingxiao,

I'm no match for you.

Su'e,

return with me.

Master,

can we allow them to leave just like that?

From now on,

there will be no alliance

between Chenxing Mountain and Guanghan Sect.

So what if they're Taoist masters?

They're but pawns

to me.

Master,

what words are these?

This is your name.

Yanhui.

It's me?

It's actually my name?

You can do it with enough practice.

Master, here you go.

yet they mocked me

for embarrassing you.

Was it because of your star number?

So what if you're a one-star disciple?

You've never embarrassed me before.

you've never disappointed me before.

I was your disciple for ten years.

You actually

forced me into a dead corner.

Fine.

Yanhui!

Yanhui!

Lingxiao,

it's hard to maintain a stable heart, isn't it?

Starhaven?

Lingxiao,

thank you

for completing my last wish.

You are.

Dark Phantom?

This time,

you did recognize me.

This time?

Didn't we already

encounter each other once

in my mind's eye?

a path of escape for you.

Use the path

and leave this place.

Destroy the Heart Protecting Scale.

The Heart Protecting Scale?

Once you destroy it,

So,

it was you all along?

Yes, my beloved disciple.

I wanted to destroy the Heart Protecting Scale

for many years.

I wouldn't have been able to get rid of

such a strong opponent without lifting a finger

if it weren't for you.

From now on,

no one

in the world

can stop me.

Are you curious

as to how Qingguang died?

Ten years ago,

you brought Yanhui back to Chenxing Mountain.

Qingguang placed a seal

on her Heart Protecting Scale.

Master.

Did you seal away

the power of her Heart Protecting Scale?

I devoured him bit by bit

during the last ten years.

He was

but a hollow shell.

Excellent.

So, Suying's barrier is still capable of restricting me.

However,

there's no more dragon in the world!

You,
