1. It seems the magic power is
flowing to you with no trouble.Copy !req
2. The Void Junction is even
more compatible with theCopy !req
3. demon realm's Spiritual Veins
than we expected.Copy !req
4. It won't be long before the first
time-crossing scrying mirror is ready.Copy !req
5. And once we've confirmed its functionality,
our task will essentially be complete.Copy !req
6. It will only be a matter of time beforeCopy !req
7. the demon realm's power seeps
into the entire Void Junction.Copy !req
8. And all of the scrying mirrors
will gain the same ability.Copy !req
9. Oh, you've returned.Copy !req
10. Guǐ Niǎo has informed me of the situation.Copy !req
11. So, what is His Eminence's decision
regarding the matter of Zhào Jūn Lín?Copy !req
12. He said to pay it no mind.Copy !req
13. And that it would be an opportunity
to strike Shāng Bú Huàn down.Copy !req
14. Remarkable!Copy !req
15. Am I just not seeing the greater picture?Copy !req
16. Could His Eminence have
some deeper concern here?Copy !req
17. But...Copy !req
18. I can't imagine the scale of disaster that
Zhào Jūn Lín's resurrection could cause.Copy !req
19. Innocent people will be made
to pay the price again!Copy !req
20. Perhaps he thinks that the Divine
Swarm won't need to take action...Copy !req
21. So long as the imperial
army can deal with it?Copy !req
22. Emperor Yōu and Cháo Fēng haveCopy !req
23. neither the desire nor the mettle
to stand against that monster!Copy !req
24. The royal family doesn't even consider
our foreign enemies a threat!Copy !req
25. Havoc in the realm will
be beneath their notice,Copy !req
26. as they continue spending their daysCopy !req
27. pursuing debauchery from
behind the palace's walls!Copy !req
28. Perhaps it is as you say.Copy !req
29. How is it that I am so powerless?Copy !req
30. Both as a general and as a member
of the Order of the Divine Swarm!Copy !req
31. Perhaps if you are frustrated at
your inability to influence things...Copy !req
32. The wise thing to do is nothing at all.Copy !req
33. What are you saying?Copy !req
34. His Eminence is correct.Copy !req
35. There is no chance that Shāng Bú Huàn
ignores the coming threat.Copy !req
36. With the Shén Huì Mó Xiè weapons
contained inside of the Sorcerous Sword Index,Copy !req
37. he may very well be able to subdue
Zhào Jūn Lín yet again.Copy !req
38. And if I sit back and watch,Copy !req
39. Bú Huàn will be in the wind again
as soon as the matter is settled.Copy !req
40. You need only wait for another opportunityCopy !req
41. to take the Sorcerous Sword Index from him.Copy !req
42. That would be the simplest
way to approach this matter.Copy !req
43. When I decided to forsake
my loyalty to the Emperor...Copy !req
44. I swore that I would never again
commit such a shameful act!Copy !req
45. And because of that, my loyalty to Master
Míng Huáng is worth more than my life!Copy !req
46. If I betrayed the Order of the Divine Swarm
on top of everything else...Copy !req
47. I would be invalidating my entire existence.Copy !req
48. It's a relief to hear that.Copy !req
49. I was afraid I'd have to be as wary around
you as I am with Xíng Hài, General Wàn.Copy !req
50. And I did not like that prospect.Copy !req
51. Does it really amuse you so much to test
my loyalty like this, Yì Piāomiǎo?Copy !req
52. Even for someone like Shāng Bú Huàn,Copy !req
53. victory is hardly guaranteed when facing the
legendary demon mistress Zhào Jūn Lín.Copy !req
54. But he will undoubtedly rush to face her,
like the earnest fool he is.Copy !req
55. It is possible that the demonsCopy !req
56. may obtain the Sorcerous Sword Index,
which would be the worst possible outcome.Copy !req
57. That artifact contains humanity's
deterrents against demonkind.Copy !req
58. It can not be left in the hands of an
oaf who rushes headfirst into danger.Copy !req
59. That is why the Order of the Divine Swarm
will take it from him,Copy !req
60. and ensure its safety.Copy !req
61. There is no flaw in the
rationale of our actions.Copy !req
62. You realize that, don't you?Copy !req
63. Besides, even on his worst day,Copy !req
64. he's still the Sword-Plundering Nemesis,
Shāng Bú Huàn.Copy !req
65. If he were to lose the Sorcerous Sword Index,Copy !req
66. I can picture him finding a way to choke
Zhào Jūn Lín to death with his own hands!Copy !req
67. Is this everyone?Copy !req
68. Be careful with the search!Copy !req
69. Did you see anything strange on your end?Copy !req
70. I'll be honest, nothing about what
I'm seeing here seems normal.Copy !req
71. But I haven't seen Shāng Bú Huàn or his men.Copy !req
72. I know we're meant to search this place,Copy !req
73. but it's taking a lot of coordination
just to keep from getting lost.Copy !req
74. Looks like the gents from the
Empire have their hands full, too.Copy !req
75. Trust me, it's not as bad as having
to find a way around them all.Copy !req
76. I can't imagine they're being paid well.Copy !req
77. I wonder what keeps them from deserting.Copy !req
78. The military leadership in Xī Yōu has
got a lot of faith from their troops.Copy !req
79. Jūn Pò's a good example.Copy !req
80. Not that it matters much, when the actual
government is rotten to the core.Copy !req
81. General Wàn himself is being pulled
in two different directions,Copy !req
82. and being nearly split apart for his trouble.Copy !req
83. Serves him right for thinking
he can play on both sides!Copy !req
84. Give it a rest!Copy !req
85. He's just trying to do
what he thinks is right.Copy !req
86. So where do we find the
lair of the demon witch?Copy !req
87. I can give you the directions you need.Copy !req
88. Just try not to be found en route. Your options
for hiding around here are limited.Copy !req
89. It's absorbed enough power
from the demon realm!Copy !req
90. The time is finally here!Copy !req
91. Looks like it was a success.Copy !req
92. Yes! And with the stability
of the crystallization,Copy !req
93. I'm sure it will have the desired effect!Copy !req
94. That means you'll no longer have to leave
your destination to chance, as with before?Copy !req
95. Correct. The mirrors will need to be
made to synchronize with thoughts...Copy !req
96. But your sorcery should make that
a simple task, Elder Sister.Copy !req
97. Once complete, you need only think of
a time and place from your memories,Copy !req
98. and a door to it shall open.Copy !req
99. Then let us put it to the test.Copy !req
100. What?Copy !req
101. Well, that was a close one!
Looks like we showed up just in time.Copy !req
102. Shāng Bú Huàn! How did
you get here, you wretch?Copy !req
103. I know you gals are villains,
but you could be a little more careful!Copy !req
104. How to avoid burglaries? Keep your
doors locked, and your eyes and ears open!Copy !req
105. Damn you! Do you intend
to interfere yet again?Copy !req
106. Dealing with Seven Blasphemous Deaths isCopy !req
107. probably more than we can handle right now.Copy !req
108. All right, Làng, smash that thing into dust!Copy !req
109. And then we'll need to get out of here!Copy !req
110. Hey! What's the holdup, Làng?Copy !req
111. Stand aside!Copy !req
112. Làng?Copy !req
113. Do not let them escape!
Retrieve that mirror at all costs!Copy !req
114. Yes, very good.Copy !req
115. It seems things are taking
a turn for the delightful.Copy !req
116. Hey, man, this isn't the way
we came when we snuck in here!Copy !req
117. What are you thinking?Copy !req
118. Hey! Follow me! I know where to go.Copy !req
119. Hey, if it isn't li'l Cán Yún.
Good to see you're okay.Copy !req
120. Well, it definitely wasn't pleasant having
to hang around in the middle of all this!Copy !req
121. Come on, if we're gonna bail,
let's make it quick!Copy !req
122. What the—Copy !req
123. Làng Wū Yáo! Where did he come from?Copy !req
124. Aw, crap, they found us!Copy !req
125. Do not let him escape!Copy !req
126. Could it be...Copy !req
127. They've already realized
what the demons are up to?Copy !req
128. Sir Jūn Pò! What are you doing?Copy !req
129. Now! Hurry!Copy !req
130. Làng!Copy !req
131. What is that? Why are you so worried?
Isn't it a normal scrying mirror?Copy !req
132. What's all the commotion?Copy !req
133. It's not clear why, but it seems Shāng Bú
Huàn's party has snuck into our midst.Copy !req
134. And sadly, we were unable
to keep them from fleeing.Copy !req
135. You can't even slow them down?
You worthless worms!Copy !req
136. It should be obvious why
I've called you here.Copy !req
137. I'm giving you an opportunity toCopy !req
138. confess to your hand in that
mess that just occurred.Copy !req
139. What do you have to say for yourself?Copy !req
140. You certainly sound like you're
sure I arranged for it.Copy !req
141. Well, I can't blame you for being suspicious,Copy !req
142. and I hardly expect you to believe me...Copy !req
143. But even so, I will go on the record in
saying I had nothing to do with this.Copy !req
144. There is no question that you
arranged for them to be here.Copy !req
145. You'll find I have irrefutable
evidence right over there.Copy !req
146. What evidence?Copy !req
147. You can confirm it yourself.Copy !req
148. What are you trying to...Copy !req
149. I couldn't care less about how you
justify your sophistry anymore!Copy !req
150. But watching you embarrass yourself
before my Elder Sister's charms?Copy !req
151. I can't think of anything I'd rather see!Copy !req
152. At this range, you should be able to
see my light through your eyelids.Copy !req
153. What is it like to taste her power
at such an intimate distance?Copy !req
154. Isn't it blindingly bright? Scorchingly hot?Copy !req
155. If you resist for too long,
your brain may very well melt!Copy !req
156. Your struggling serves no purpose.Copy !req
157. Come... open those eyes.
Think of how much easier it'll be.Copy !req
158. I think... not!Copy !req
159. I'm sure you thought yourself
in a class of your ownCopy !req
160. when it comes to manipulating others...Copy !req
161. You simpleton!Copy !req
162. Your human tricks are mere child's play
compared to the secrets of demonkind!Copy !req
163. So beautiful...Copy !req
164. Yes... this light is what
I've wanted all along.Copy !req
165. Then be sure to never let me go.Copy !req
166. Do that, and I will show you ecstasy
beyond your wildest dreams.Copy !req
167. Of course... as you wish,Copy !req
168. my beloved.Copy !req
169. Oh, how wanton! How pitiful!Copy !req
170. Enigmatic Gale, now you are nothing
more than a slave to her enchantment!Copy !req
171. Man, that was a close one.Copy !req
172. Damn it, Làng! What's gotten into you?Copy !req
173. Looks like he hasn't given
up on using that thing to fixCopy !req
174. what happened to Tiān Mìng.Copy !req
175. Làng...Copy !req
176. We can't undo the mistakes we've made.Copy !req
177. All we can do is try and find
a way to make up for them.Copy !req
178. So you expect me to just give up?Copy !req
179. When I have the means to make a
difference right here, in front of me?Copy !req
180. You're right.Copy !req
181. To simply give up would
be the height of folly.Copy !req
182. Who are you?Copy !req
183. If it is what you desire, then reach forth
and realize it. To do anything less...Copy !req
184. would be to live life haunted
by the spectre of regret.Copy !req
185. Whoa, what the...Copy !req
186. Wh-What's going on here? Guys?Copy !req
187. Just who... are you?Copy !req
188. I can understand your trepidation towards
dealing with power you don't understand.Copy !req
189. So I will personally serve as
your guide for this occasion.Copy !req
190. That...Copy !req
191. That wasn't the usual power behind the
scrying mirrors! Who was that guy?Copy !req
192. These wretched mirrors again?Copy !req
193. He's certainly put these accursed
heretic magics to effective use!Copy !req
194. Aw, what the hell is all this?Copy !req
195. I repeat: What the hell is going on, man?Copy !req
196. As galling as it is to make use of the
suboptimal sorceries of Xíng Hài,Copy !req
197. it will still serve as a suitable enough
toy to enable our little game.Copy !req
198. Now, see what it is like to play cat's
cradle with the threads of fate!Copy !req
199. Damn it! What are you trying to do?Copy !req
200. I am leading you to the points
of origin tied to your fates,Copy !req
201. previously beyond reach
via the distance of time!Copy !req
202. Shāng!Copy !req
203. Aw, crap! This place... It can't be!Copy !req
204. Surely you can do better than this,
Sword-Plundering Nemesis.Copy !req
205. What of your precious Sorcerous Sword Index?Copy !req
206. This place...Copy !req
207. That's the Tiān Xing Jiàn!Copy !req
208. Then are those all... Is this...Copy !req
209. With the arrival of the demonic
forces intent on scouring mankindCopy !req
210. from the surface world,
the War of Fading Dusk began.Copy !req
211. Pushed to the brink of extinction,Copy !req
212. mankind sought a means for
their final counterstrike,Copy !req
213. and under the tutelage of
immortal mountain wizards,Copy !req
214. they created an arsenal of weapons.Copy !req
215. These weapons were known
as the Shén Huì Mó Xiè.Copy !req
216. A collection of supernatural
swords that would allow menCopy !req
217. to stand against demonic gods.Copy !req
218. It has come together splendidly.Copy !req
219. This sword possesses a suitable amount
of spiritual power to seal demons.Copy !req
220. Now, then... who might you be?Copy !req
221. At the end of a journey, a single,
otherworldly white lotus bloomed.Copy !req
222. Knowing the ultimate outcome, can you still
question the justification behind fate?Copy !req
