Little fool!
Are you okay?
Big Brother Taoist!
I'm fine!
That Tianjiao
was cut in half.
Big Brother Fugui is so awesome.
Wh-What's wrong with you?
You don't have a fever.
How can you unleash such a huge blast without a fever?
Since when did you learn earth magic?
Young Master Bai,
I'm Xuanwu.
I helped Young Master with the earth manipulation.
Xuanwu?
Something's wrong.
This guy didn't even have the magic power to maintain the Azure Dragon.
Wang Fugui, why are you keeping treasures to yourself?
What happened to him?
- Young Master Wangquan! - But we should still prioritize the matter at hand.
Young Master Wangquan!
- Young Master Wangquan is the strongest. - Wh-Why are you here?
I saw it.
Young Master Wangquan is the strongest.
- I love you so much! Love you! - I-I'm not...
Young Master Wangquan, you're the best.
That's right.
I'm the super powerful Young Master Wangquan.
The strongest.
Go on.
- Don't stop. - Young Master Wangquan is the strongest.
What are you guys doing?
If we sell these to the spider...
Wait!
I'll buy them. State your price.
Any price.
- Hero Bai, wait! - Big Brother Taoist, look.
What are those?
They're probably the consciousnesses of the humans and demons
imprisoned by this manipulative beast.
This manipulative beast
has been killed by Young Master Wangquan.
At last,
these consciousnesses are free.
Manipulative beast?
Isn't it called Tianjiao?
Manipulative beasts
are the name the Quan clan gave to Tianjiao creatures from the beyond.
Its name doesn't matter.
What are manipulative beasts?
Do you have a more detailed description?
Aren't you supposed to be an expert?
But...
Don't make things difficult for her.
We'll explain.
But before that
tell me what happened on the ship.
When all the sadness is gone
It hurts
Growing from despair
My heart has long been battered and bruised
I hope
Maintaining a broken disguise
Can't resist fate
Bowing down
A buried secret
Which hill is it on?
Who can hear me calling for help?
Whose gentle hands are reaching across the vast universe?
Dreams
Countless hopes are hanging in the air
The more eager I am, the greater my fear of failure
Meeting again after reincarnation
I've always been too naive and ignorant
Even if the world is full of pain
I will still be with you
Hollers interlacing with the wind
Turbulent and surging
Blurring my vision
Dreams
Countless hopes are hanging in the air
The more eager I am, the greater my fear of failure
Meeting again after reincarnation
Take this medicine first.
You were infected by the manipulative beast, Tianjiao.
Even if it has been expelled from your bodies,
there will be residues
left in the body for some time.
All right.
Big Sister Princess has eaten it.
Bai Yuechu,
have one, too.
It's fine.
These mediocre residues can't affect me.
Don't underestimate the residues of the manipulative beast.
Even if the real body dies,
as long as there is a chance,
they can still influence you.
Don't worry.
I'm the strongest matchmaking fairy.
Look.
Even such a weak princess can recuperate herself so quickly.
That means the residues aren't a big deal.
All right.
Anyway, you're still clueless
about the situation on the ship now?
Yeah,
we don't know what happened after we left.
But that yellow and white liquid is too strange.
It should only exist in Yang Mie's memories.
But it appeared with the Black Fox on the ship at the same time.
Well...
Based on what you told us, that should be Jin Chenxi.
A real creature from the beyond.
Real?
What was the Tianjiao we just killed?
A fake?
The one you worked hard to slay,
strictly speaking,
can't be considered a native creature of the beyond.
Trying hard to kill counterfeits?
That's a hurtful statement.
Manipulative beasts
are a collection of consciousnesses of people and demons who died in the beyond.
For example,
Tianjiaos are the consciousnesses of pride.
When these consciousnesses gather,
they will form the manipulative beast.
It possess hosts with similar thoughts
and can control all the behaviors
and magic of the hosts.
I've experienced it personally,
but it still feels ridiculous.
Especially the transference of power.
It's totally beyond common sense.
You should know that
we use power
with a focus on skills,
body,
and heart.
Skills and the body
come from the heart.
D-Do you mean...
Surprised, aren't you?
They, too, have hearts.
And even stronger ones.
Magic
is guided by the heart.
Therefore,
when faced against them and their stronger hearts,
we're overpowered and assimilated.
Eventually,
we succumb to their manipulation.
That's indeed troublesome.
Matchmaking fairies may be fine,
but won't ordinary cultivators
succumb to manipulation easily?
That's right.
That's why the Quan clan
have adopted the masks.
Our masks
contains the spiritual power of our predecessors.
Not only can we gain stronger powers,
but they protect us better.
We won't be harmed by manipulative beasts.
Won't be harmed?
He doesn't count.
Th-That's because he revealed the lion mask he's so proud of
before the Tianjiao.
Well...
Enough.
The main ship is under attack.
We have to hurry back to rescue them.
Let's end our chat.
We'll take our leave.
D-Don't be in a hurry.
Hold on.
Before you head there,
shouldn't you carefully consider
why that Black Fox released these creatures?
What do you mean?
As you said just now,
these are all low-level creatures you can deal with.
Did the Black Fox let them loose
just to get you warmed up?
See for yourselves.
Madam Quan and Old Man Wang haven't defeated Jin Chenxi yet.
What's the use of you going there?
Let's put it this way.
The motive of the Black Fox's attack
must be more complicated than we think.
So, in this complex situation,
we can't fight alone if we want to win.
The masks are experts in dealing with the beyond,
but your ability to control the heart isn't good enough.
Matchmaking fairies
are the nemesis of Black Foxes,
but we don't know much about creatures from the beyond.
So,
if we want to win...
We can only...
Join forces!
Tell us about Jin Chenxi.
We'll help you deal with it.
What are you looking at?
I'm your magic techniques instructor now.
We're in this together.
Cooperation is fine.
However,
we don't have any information about Jin Chenxi.
What did you say?
That's right.
We're rookies.
Y-You don't know anything?
We're just trainees.
We haven't been promoted to formal troops in the beyond.
A-All right.
Well, tell us whatever you know about the beyond.
No way.
This is a secret of the Taoist Alliance.
Are you doing this on purpose?!
It's an emergency now!
Why are you pulling this with me?!
Spit out whatever information you have!
Talk!
Old men,
why are you so persistent?
With your magic powers,
this bell will soon be shattered by me.
By then, with your natures,
I can fulfill your wishes
and then infect you with Jin Chenxi.
It's a piece of cake.
The results are set in stone.
Why are you still struggling?
You think we're struggling?
Aren't you the same?
Although Jin Chenxi is powerful,
it isn't enough to openly challenge the Demon Alliance and the Taoist Alliance.
If you're dragging this on,
you must be
waiting for an opportunity.
You are indeed an old man who has seen the world.
You sure are perceptive.
Although it's a big world out there,
how far and how long can Jin Chenxi even help me flee?
But if I have a power beyond the ordinary,
that's different.
Wh-What do you mean?
I overheard
some information about the nature of the masks.
Only then did I find out that
obtaining that supreme power
doesn't require venturing far.
You...
The mother and child link for the masks
is a strength and a weakness.
All the child-masks are connected with the core mother-mask at all times.
It's perfect for my highly contagious Jin Chenxi.
Darn you!
Stop!
Start the hunt.
Senior Brother,
what are you doing?
Wh-What are you doing?
Hey, why did our chat lead to your transformations?
The color
doesn't look right.
Jin Chenxi.
My delicious delicacies,
you have nowhere to flee.
Son!
Help me!
Old man,
it's too late to resist with all your might.
The mother-mask on the ship has already been infected by Jin Chenxi.
The reason why I held back until now
is actually
to wait for those new masks
to meet Bai Yuechu.
Father,
what should we do now?
I was careless.
We can only hold out
and wait for reinforcements to arrive.
Hopefully, Bai Yuechu
won't do anything stupid.
Stay away.
Chicken Bai, be careful.
Don't use any pure magic skills.
That's Jin Chenxi.
It will infect you through your magic powers.
Susu will protect the princess.
I will flail my arms!
I-I...
Concealment Talisman!
All right.
Well, rookies,
I'll teach you a lesson!
Here it is.
It's the Pure Yang Flame.
Oh no.
Jin Chenxi's strength has increased.
No,
these demonic powers aren't adequate.
Sh-She must have other motives.
Old man, you're smart.
Why don't I answer your question?
When we were on the ship,
Bai Yuechu found out that Jin Chenxi could infect and devour magic powers.
So, he was extremely cautious.
He never used high-level techniques in front of me.
That's why it was hard for me to strike.
But I let them flee
and waited for those novice Taoist priests that Bai Yuechu despises
to get close to him.
Only then did I activate Jin Chenxi
and make them attack Bai Yuechu.
Bai Yuechu will unleash his magic powers without scruples.
This step has been very successful so far.
That's enough, Bai Yuechu!
Your fire won't work!
I reckont he staff won't work,
so I'm resorting to fire.
But over half of the magic powers unleashes are useless.
Apart from the infectious nature,
Jin Chenxi has the ability to absorb magic powers.
What should we do now?
It's quite tricky.
Luckily, I'm skilled.
I can end this fight swiftly.
Are you...
Yes.
What I desire
is all the demonic powers of Tushan Honghong, the supreme demon emperor.
But infecting that power
can only be done with Jin Chenxi's real body.
Right now, Bai Yuechu is very cooperative
and unleashing an inexhaustic flow of demonic powers.
He is allowing Jin Chenxi
to gradually take shape.
I didn't want to hurt anyone,
but I'm just too mighty.
If you face a real powerhouse
and you don't use it properly,
the Tear of Void might be manipulated by the enemy instead.
So, it's fine if you try to be cool,
but you need to be cautious when using it against a real enemy.
This time, did I...
Big Sister Princess,
what are you doing?
You...
Checkmate.
Don't touch her!
A frown makes me worry
Your feelings are like a riddle
A cute smile arrests my attention
A void in my heart
You're responsible for filling it
The mountains are everlasting, the heart is a mystery
Just like the first encounter
Reincarnation or a rekindled love
Always at my ear
Buzzing my ear off
Day by day
I just want to ignore it
Protect your smile
Ignore the threats of the past
Ignore the will of others
You're the strongest matchmaking fairy
I still don't understand
What is love?
But when I think of you, my heart races
Like a flustered deer on the grasslands
Day and night doesn't matter
From the sky to the earth
In my eyes
You're always dazzling
