Be simpler,
and you're much cuter!
Let's await the return of the Yiling Patriarch together!
Leaving storms of the past
I gaze imperiously at the firmament
gently caressing the flute with composure
At the Cloud Recesses
within the Emperor's Smile
The physical realm is transient
the drunken dream of a lone soul
I explore both orthodoxy and heresy
observing the pandemonium
taking on a solitary fight against all
Yet I've not
abandoned my innermost core
Living an unrestrained life
virtue and vice are both illusory
yet the scars within the heart will not fade
In this life
the floating world is like a dream
Though standing aloof from worldly affairs
paths differ but integrity endures
Even with a heart of chivalry
all were regrettably in vain
Good and evil are in black and white
but the border between love and hate remains unclear
Our acquaintance is like a dream
Episode 2
Banishing Evil (Part 2)
That is...
*Light bearer, Jun is honorific for the respected one
HanGuang-Jun*
Why's he here?
Lucky you're still here!
We better get going.
Good fella!
We've made it so far already.
*valiant warrior during 3 Kingdoms Period #famous steed during same period
They often say,"Hail the Lu Bu* among mortals, Red Hare* amid horses."
You're the Little Apple amidst donkeys!
Here we go!
The path's narrowing...
Damn!
Deity-binding Net?
What a find in this wilderness.
Didn't expect to see one.
Who's wealthy enough to afford this for a night hunt?
Little Apple.
So what if you're mad at me.
That's a Deity-binding Net.
Got no magic tools on me.
Can't save ya.
What?!
A donkey?!
400 nets spent, and not even a single good catch?!
Ugh..
First I get those silly rogue cultivators,
Jin Ling Courtesy name: Rulan
now a stupid donkey.
Oh?
Lanling Jin Clan.
Loaded as always.
Not a day passed, and I've already met 2 of the Four Clans.
Luck is on my side today.
Who's there?
Don't kill me!!
Don't kill me~
You robbed my donkey, and still wanna kill me!
Outrageous!
It's you...
What.
Your memory failed after you were kicked home?
*a type of peony
Can't even recognize this Sparks Amidst Snow* motif?
Inferring from that,
Mo Xuanyu is actually part of the Jin Clan.
Could his father be...
The clan leader, Jin Guangshan?!
Hey!
What are you burbling!
Ranking the merits of Burial Mounds Siege,
Jiang Cheng was first,
Jin Guangshan second.
What a mockery of fate for me to return in his son's body.
Such a messy situation.
Hn!
Nutcase.
Hey don't go!
Give me back my Little Apple!
Get away!
The sight of you disgusts me.
Damn lunatic.
Hey I'm your elder!
How can you be so disrespectful.
Like you don't have a mother to teach you manners.
What did you say?
Nice sword.
Soul summon!
A fine sword indeed.
But why does it look familiar?
Mo Xuanyu.
You wanna die?!
How dare you use such vile tricks!
Remove it at once!
Damn lunatic.
Do it or I'll tell my uncle.
Then you're so dead!
Uncle?
Why not your father?
Who's your uncle anyway?
I'm his uncle.
Any last words?
Jin Ling.
Jiang Cheng Courtesy name: Wanyin
I accompany you to hunt,
not to see you disgrace yourself.
Get up this instant!
I'm gonna break your legs, damn lunatic!
Break his legs?
Didn't I tell you before?
If you see such demonic cultivators,
kill them and feed your dog.
Can this boy be...
This is...
*sword name: avoid worldly affairs
Bichen*.
HanGuang-Jun...
The second young master of Lan, "appearing wherever chaos is" indeed.
Even descending in person to these remote mountains.
Clan Leader Jiang, aren't you here too?
When elders are speaking, you're in no place to talk.
The Lan Clan pride themselves as the model of fine etiquette.
But this is how their disciples are taught.
Master Jin.
Night hunts require fair competition.
If you scatter the nets all over Mt. Dafan,
severely restricting other cultivators,
isn't that
against the rules of night hunt.
It's their own folly, stepping into the traps.
What can I do.
Clan Leader!!
Clan Leader!
Clan Leader.
What's the hurry?
Well.
Well...
Speak up.
Why the hesitation.
Moments ago,
a flying blue sword
destroyed the nets you arranged for the young master.
How many?
All of them...
Oh boy,
this may not end well.
Impudent!
Who told you to draw your sword?
Clan Leader Jiang,
the ruined nets will be compensated by the Lan Clan.
No need.
Don't just stand there.
Your prey won't pierce itself on your sword.
If you can't bring me a prey of value,
then don't come to me again.
Wait.
Mt. Dafan currently harbours a formidable demon.
Please be cautious.
*traditional Chinese unit of distance, 500m approx
The Mo Village 10 li* away,
was disturbed by a demon tonight.
Killing 3 people in moments, truly vicious.
Due to our inadequacy, it escaped to Mt. Dafan.
Oh?
What kind of devilish fiend
can't be subdued by even Master Lan.
It's not HanGuang-Jun's fault.
Refrain from arguing.
The evil being is a demonic left hand, preying on humans.
If you detect any trace, please alert the others.
Hn!
Scout this area as a pair.
Do your best, within your limits.
Understood, HanGuang-Jun.
When I embraced the dark arts years ago,
he and I were like oil and water.
He tried to catch me at every chance.
Did he have a change of heart?
Thank you sir for saving us at Mo Village.
Don't mention it.
Why are you still here?
You!
Master Jin.
This area's mine.
Don't come over!
A-Xian...
How could Wei Wuxian bear to do it?!
*female senior in the same cultivation school
That's the shijie* who brought him up!
This innocent child is most pitiable.
He's barely a month old...
But lost both parents.
How could I say he has no mother to guide him.
How could I!
What a bad day.
You seem to be everywhere.
Stop following me, please.
Who's following you?
Mt. Dafan is not yours.
So what if I'm here.
Deity-binding Nets aren't yours either.
They're none of your business too.
Bring 400 nets too if you can.
Shut up if you can't.
You really think you're the role model of the gentry?
What did you say?!
Eh-
Come on.
Who's scared of you?!
Ah...
Why is there another fight.
You hit him into that?
But I didn't hurt him.
He fell in by himself.
Oi!
Jin Ling!

Who'd have thought,
that it'd be Lan* (Blue)-
*Lan is the word for "Blue" in mandarin.
friend.
You're the endorser of Cornetto—Lan Wangji!
Blue friend is yours.
You are mine.
Lan Zhan!
You-
grew up eating Cornetto, right?
Irrelevant.
Be simpler,
and you're much cuter.
This place is huge.
This might be the ritual site of the villagers.
This-
This is...
Who-
Who's there?!
Ah——!!!
Look how scared you are!
You make me laugh!
Playing the ghost at your age, how immature!
Scared of ghosts at your age,
you're more immature!
You're the immature one!
What, you yelled first just now!
The goddess statue's eyes seemed to be moving just now.
What?!
What a clumsy attempt at scaring others.
Who'd believe that?
Oi!
It didn't move, okay?
Haha, you're really frightened!
That's enough.
I honestly saw it.
Are your eyes failing?
How could a stone move by itself?
This is...
Watch out!
This is...
What the hell is this?
Haha.
This is worth a fight, take it down now!
This reckless brat is worrisome.
Soul summon!
It can't be suppressed.
Damn, it's the ghost hand.
Deploy magic tool!
Haha!
It's subdued!
We hunted lowly zombies all night, finally caught a big one.
This...
What is this damn thing?
No wonder Mt. Dafan has so many zombies.
This ghost hand reeks of unholiness,
of course it attracts zombies.
Youngsters!
Send a signal quickly!
And ask that HanGuang-Jun for help.
I'm not a youngster!
The signal fireworks were used up in Mo village.
I'm afraid that...
What's this little brat doing?
If you can't bring me a prey of value,
then don't come to me again.
Hey!
We're in this state, and you're still playing the flute?!
It's so bad!
This is...?
Whatever it is,
as long as it's full of resentful energy...
Ghost General Wen Ning
Ghost...
Ghost General?
How is it possible?
Even before the Siege of Burial Mounds,
wasn't he already scattered to dust?
Jin Ling!
Quick!
Evil-Sealing Pouch!
First the forbidden offering ritual.
Now this bloodthirsty ghost hand!
I'm afraid there's more than meets the eye.
Forget about the ghost hand.
Capture the Ghost General Wen Ning,
then we'll all be famous!
Don't be rash!
What's there to fear, the Yiling Patriarch is long gone.
Get him!
Wait!
Stop!
Oh no.
I must get him away now.
Over there!
After him!
Don't let him escape!
Zidian*!
*Purple lightning
If an evil being seizes a body, Zidian will expel its soul.
Zidian can whip out any soul possessing another's body.
Could it be that Clan Leader Jiang
suspects that Master Mo is possessed?
Well well...
So you've returned,
Wei Wuxian.
Trying to escape?
So what if you're from a powerful clan.
How can you hit me for no reason?
Shame on you!
How's it possible?
Why didn't it work?
Obviously it won't.
Zidian can't expel my soul for sure.
Because I was offered a body,
without my consent!
Today I'm going to find out
exactly who or what you are!
Isn't it clear, Clan Leader Jiang!
That's the Zidian!
It won't fail the first strike, only to succeed in the second!
Who the hell are you?!
Why can you summon Wen Ning?
Uncle.
His name is Mo Xuanyu, he used to stay in Lanling.
He's a lunatic!
As long as they're good-looking,
no matter man or woman, plant or animal,
he'd tag along and drool over them.
It's disgusting!
That's some madness right there.
Indeed.
Though corrupt in character,
Wei Wuxian was still a charming gent,
who liked to flirt with lovely ladies.
If he wanted a new body,
a lunatic wouldn't be a good choice, right?
You said it.
Did you hear how awful his flute playing sounds?
How can it compare to Yiling Patriarch's phantom flute Chenqing?
Is that so?
In any case, he's a practitioner of the demonic arts.
Seize him.
Yes!
Don't come near me!
Help!!!
Help!
What do you want?
What?
Second Master Lan,
are you deliberately getting in my way?
Clan Leader Jiang.
Since Master Mo is not possessed,
why the need to be so imposing on just a nobody.
Hn.
Then, may I ask why ever since a while ago,
Second Master Lan has been so persistent
in protecting such a nobody
who practised the demonic arts?
His path is uncommon,
but his deeds are righteous.
For sentiment or reason,
he deserves gratitude.
That's right!
He saved us several times,
and just saved Jin Ling, too.
Em,
Clan Leader Jiang,
if you keep bothering me, I'll be very troubled.
It's not like I'm attracted to just anything good-looking.
For example, the stout bull in my village,
who looks plump and sturdy,
isn't my type.
You...
aren't my type either.
You!!
However,
someone like HanGuang-Jun
is exactly my type!
Hmm. That should be enough to disgust both of you.
Now let me go!
Very well.
I'm bringing him
back to Lan Clan.
I'm not going in there!
I just won't~~
I don't want to~
Oi!
Why are you crying?
You said you like HanGuang-Jun yourself.
Now that he's taken you back, what are you howling for?
I like my Little Apple, too.
But it doesn't mean I want to live in the donkey shed.
What nonsense!
Rowdiness is prohibited in the Cloud Recesses
as written on the Wall of Discipline.
Stop it, or you won't like it.
I haven't been here in over 20 years.
There are even more rules!
Going in there is like seeking death.
Master Mo,
HanGuang-Jun brought you here for your own sake.
Clan Leader Jiang wouldn't easily let go otherwise.
No need to coax him.
Let him cry.
When he's done,
drag him inside.
Yes.
Little Apple, let's go!
Where are you going?
Not this way!
Stop!
Stop now!
Little Apple!!
You traitor!

Coming!

The official manhua of Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation,
updates every Saturday!
Over the mountains
across the seas
Under the moon
frost sweeps over my zither
The requiem fades
as I whisper my thoughts to the wind
A cup of Emperor's Smile
for a drunken reverie
Flowers bloom and wilt
fallen leaves gather
Maintaining grace and virtue
with a desolated heart
Arisen from chaos
my sword soars out like a chilling gale
The music ends and crowds disperse
but my sentiments linger
Moments flash by
spring blossoms return
rabbits leap in the Clouds Recesses
Years go by
who still remembers these unrequited feelings?
The night is tender
cold springs ripple
memories surface in my reflections
I play a song
you smile once more
in my dreams
