The Monster Hunt Celestial Master (2026) Movie Script
In Yunshui Town,
there's said to be a thousand-year-old
fox demon that's been lurking here
coming out only at night
and preying on the living.
It's thrown Yunshui Town
into complete chaos,
with everyone living in fear.
Senior brother, the demonic aura here
is so strong.
Watch out!
Look!
It's already midnight.
The Fox Demon King
is about to break free of its seal.
We have to go!
Oh no!
There's a demon nearby!
Close your eyes.
Am I beautiful?
Come here.
Am I beautiful?
Look at me.
Open your eyes.
Oh no! The seal's been broken.
That demon's just stalling for time.
Hurry and stop the fox demon
before it breaks through the seal.
You need to get out of here!
Okay!
Good grief!
Are you sure that's a good idea?
The demon-trapping formation
is about to fail!
Go!
Let's see how much more trouble
you old demon can cause!
Senior Brother, what should we do?
Watch out!
You audacious fox demon!
How dare you run wild!
Where's Senior Ye?
Those foxes have trapped him.
Good grief!
Looks like they
came prepared after all.
Oh no! The fox demon
has revealed its true form!
Senior Meng!
What's wrong?
Are you all right?
Senior? Senior?
Senior Meng,
have you lost your mind?
Could he be under the fox demon's spell?
Kill them!
You vile beast!
Yunniang!
You slaughtered my entire fox clan.
I'll make you pay in blood!
Yunniang! Yunniang!
Junior! Junior!
Are you all right?
Take care of
the child...
Junior!
Junior!
Junior!
[The Monster Hunt Celestial Master]
[The Celestial Masters have five great magical artifacts: The Glazed Lamp,
Jade Pipa, Celestial Seal, Demon-Revealing Mirror, and Purple Jade Pendant.]
[The Glazed Lamp rings when demons are near. The Jade Pipa's sound waves cut like blades. The Celestial
Seal subdues demons and breaks formations. The Demon-Revealing Mirror destroys demons' souls.]
[Only the Purple Jade Pendant can aid one's cultivation,
making it the artifact most coveted by the demon clan.]
How could you do this?
I thought we were brothers!
And you went and stole my pig!
I didn't steal it! I just wanted to
take it out for some fresh air!
Bullshit!
Hey, pretty lady.
What are you staring at? Huh?
Help!
Murder!
Keep drinking. Ignore her. Keep drinking.
Have a drink! Come on!
A monster's killing people!
Don't run away!
You haven't paid yet!
Xiao Juhao!
You scared off all my customers!
Looks like
the fox demon
has finally shown up.
All right.
Where did you
find the monster?
In...
North Market Street
and...
West Market Street.
We don't have time to waste.
Let's split up and investigate.
Okay.
How awful.
This is just terrible.
Isn't that Auntie Wang's son?
What a horrible way to die.
Yeah.
That's terrifying.
So it really was a demon.
Xiao Juhao was right after all.
Looks like something terrible
is about to happen in Yunshui Town.
What a gruesome death.
The fox demon did this again.
What's going on here?
He's got some nerve.
Look! He's taking the dead man's pulse!
That's strange.
What is he trying to do?
How can a corpse still have a pulse?
It's coming back to life! Run!
Senior Mei, watch out!
I'm a dignified
seventh-rank Celestial Master.
Why would I be afraid of a corpse?
You're amazing!
Come on. Take the body back.
What are you doing?
We're acting on orders from Lord Qianhu.
We're taking the body in for examination.
You're just an inn attendant.
How dare you interfere with
an official investigation?
I...
The Demon Suppression Bureau
is investigating.
Oh, so you're a Celestial Master
from the Demon Suppression Bureau.
Now that you're acting on
Lord Qianhu's orders,
then please, go ahead.
Come on.
Take it away!
We'll be off, then.
Let's go!
Why did you stop me just now?
I want to see
how this newly appointed Lord Qianhu
plans to handle the matter.
The air is dry.
Be careful with open flames!
The air is dry.
Be careful with open flames!
Have you heard?
There have been a lot of
demons around town lately.
Who cares what kind of demon it is?
With Lord Qianhu here,
not a single demon will get away!
Let's go.
Why is it you?
You scared me to death.
Since when did you get so timid?
Look.
This...
What's going on?
That demon must be behind this.
Mother.
Please watch over me from heaven.
I swear I'll avenge you.
Master.
Reporting to you, Lord Qianhu.
The Monster Hunt Celestial Masters
have arrived.
Lord Qianhu.
Did you discover anything
this morning?
Neither of the two bodies
had any claw marks,
nor were there any obvious wounds.
However...
Their foreheads were dark,
and their pupils were dull.
It looks more like
they were possessed.
Possessed?
Looks like this fox demon
is even more powerful than I thought.
That powerful?
Yuru,
what should we do?
Our top priority now
is to protect the people of Yunshui Town
from the fox demon's attacks.
Well said, my lord.
We've come here under orders
from the Demon Suppression Bureau
to investigate this case.
The bigger picture comes first.
As the Qianhu of Yunshui Town,
I'll brave any danger
and do whatever it takes.
Good.
Then we'll leave this
in your capable hands, Lord Qianhu.
We'll take our leave.
Safe travels, Celestial Masters.
Xiao Juhao, let's go.
Wait...
The fox demon's here!
- You...
- The fox demon's here!
What's going on?
Look!
Excuse me, sir.
Why are the people in the street...
I don't know anything!
I don't know!
The Fox Immortal eats people!
The Fox Immortal?
Yuru.
Do you think he...
Looks like
the people here have been terrorized
by the fox demon for a long time.
Tell me,
should we report this to
the Demon Suppression Bureau?
No.
We still don't know enough
about the fox demon.
Reporting it now
would only make things worse.
Are they afraid we'll...
What are you doing?
Why are you closing up in broad daylight?
Are you closed?
Exactly!
If we stayed open,
we'd be leaving ourselves
for the fox demon's dinner!
The fox demon?
The fox demon?
What?
Haven't you even heard of
the famous fox demon?
No wonder
we've barely seen anyone along the way.
W-What's there to be afraid of?
I'm making my way
in the martial world.
Bro, the fox demon's here.
Come on in.
Quick!
Move, move, move!
[Yunshui Inn]
[Qianhu Office]
Master.
How's the investigation going?
Security has been tightened all over town.
Looks like
I'll have to meet them myself.
Your power is unmatched, Master.
You'll soon achieve greatness.
What does this fox demon
actually look like?
Senior Mei,
have you ever seen one?
I have lived this long.
What kind of demon haven't I seen?
Really?
Then how do you
deal with them?
I have a treasure.
Let me show you.
With this magical artifact,
what do I have to fear from a fox demon?
This looks way more powerful
than my Demon-Revealing Mirror.
Of course it does!
That's something good.
Bro.
We're gonna be rich.
Brother Hanhan.
What took you so long to come down?
We've been waiting ages.
By the way, Senior Mei,
when are you going to
teach us the formation techniques?
Yeah!
Old Mei!
Senior!
Senior!
That depends on
what kind of mood I'm in.
As the Monster Hunt Masters,
our top priority
is to find the fox demon
as soon as possible,
not to teach formation techniques.
Well,
that's absolutely right.
So,
what should we do now?
What should we do?
Huh?
What's going on here?
The Fox Immortal is eating people!
Young Master,
what about...
We should hurry to Yunshui Town.
Young Master!
Let's go.
My Lord!
Have you found anything?
We found strange fox tail patterns
near the mansion.
Fox tail patterns?
Yes.
Please take a look.
Keep the entire mansion on high alert.
Don't let the fox demon sneak in.
Understood.
Get out of the way!
Listen,
we can't let them find out
that we're the legendary thieves.
Got it?
When the time comes,
watch my signals
and don't do anything reckless.
Chief,
I heard
their town's prized treasure
is even more impressive.
Let's go.
[The Qianhu Mansion]
Wow, well done!
Well done!
That was impressive!
I was wondering who it could be.
It's the Celestial Master himself!
Please forgive me
for not welcoming you sooner.
Lord Qianhu,
your swordsmanship is impressive,
and your moves are quite unique.
I'm
truly impressed.
You're too kind,
Celestial Master.
My Lord,
I've come to discuss something
with you today.
Please, go ahead.
Lord Qianhu,
have you
ever seen this pattern?
Young Master,
we're here in Yunshui Town.
Do you know
where your Senior Brother Tie has gone?
Tie Hanhan?
He went to Yunshui Town.
Years ago,
the 4 of us sealed the Fox Demon King
in Yunshui Town.
But
we were too full of ourselves,
and we underestimated the Fox Demon King.
Because of that,
your Aunt Yun lost her life.
Your Martial Uncle Ye
was so heartbroken
that he became a monk.
Xue,
your Senior Brother Tie
was Aunt Yun's
only child.
Yunshui Town is now in great danger,
so
Don't act recklessly.
Be careful.
Do you understand what I'm telling you?
Young Master, it's getting late.
Let's find an inn and get some rest.
All right.
It's strange
that we haven't seen anything
unusual
along the way.
Do you think
the fox demon got scared and ran away?
You're pretty full of yourself.
Do you think that fox demon
is just waiting for you to catch it?
Well,
why are you looking at me?
You know what?
You look especially stunning
today.
Really?
Go away.
Stop teasing me.
You're such a smooth talker.
Please! When am I not gorgeous?
It's strange.
Everyone's been staying indoors
these past few days.
The town is practically deserted.
I wonder where the fox demon
is hiding.
If I knew where it was,
I'd drag it back here myself!
Are you here to hunt demons
or flirt with each other?
Get out of the way!
Watch out, Yuru!
Where did he go?
Watch out!
You're back!
Why ignoring me?
Whatever.
Oh no! He's just buying time!
What should we do?
Get out of here. I'll hold him off.
No, we're leaving together!
None of you
are getting away today!
Get out of here. I'll hold him off.
No!
We're leaving together!
You two, get out of here!
I'll handle this!
Go! Hurry!
Go!
Are you here for a meal or a room?
We'd like a room.
Welcome, guests. Please come inside.
Show our guests to their rooms.
Come on in,
folks!
Right this way!
Come on in!
Please.
Where did it go?
Yeah.
Chief!
Did you find anything?
Look over here!
This must be the town's prized treasure!
Chief,
we've got it!
Oh no! It's a trap!
Get out of here!
Stop right there!
Who's stealing here?
Oh no!
We've been caught!
Let's go!
Young Master!
Go after them!
My Lord,
here's your snow fungus
and lotus seed soup.
Stop right there!
Who are you, really?
This...
We fell for the fox demon's trick!
Where's Xiao Ju Hao?
Xiao Ju Hao!
Who is it?
Xiao Ju Hao!
Hanhan.
What happened?
What are you doing back here?
The Purple Jade Pendant is gone!
What?
Xiao Ju Hao,
where did the Purple Jade
Pendant go?
What do you mean, where did it go?
The Purple Jade Pendant is missing?
What should we do?
It's missing!
I don't remember.
I can't remember anything!
What should we do?
After we left,
Did Martial Uncle Mei come back
after we left?
Martial Uncle Mei?
No.
I bet
that fox demon planned this whole thing
in advance.
That stinky fox demon!
Young Master,
they vanished.
It looks like we can't catch them.
That's right.
There's no need to chase them.
Li Gui,
Xiao Ju Hao was the only one at the inn
when the Purple Jade Pendant was stolen,
right?
That's right.
She was the only one there.
Young Master,
are you saying that
they...
The Purple Jade Pendant is gone.
How can you compete with me now,
Tie Hanhan?
Martial Uncle!
Why are you all sleeping?
Martial Uncle Mei!
The Purple Jade Pendant
was stolen last night.
The Purple Jade Pendant was stolen?
The Qianhu Mansion
was attacked
last night, too.
Is Lord Qianhu
all right?
Enough!
That old fox demon
is quite the mastermind.
Our top priority is
to get the Purple Jade Pendant back.
Exactly.
If the Demon Suppression Bureau hears that
the pendant is missing,
things will get even worse
for us.
Reporting, My Lord!
Come in.
My Lord,
we found another fox tail pattern
by the river outside town.
Go check
the silk shops that sell this fabric.
See
if you can find anything.
Understood.
It's strange. What kind of fox demon
are we dealing with?
My fellow junior brother and sisters!
Senior Brother Han!
What brings you here?
What are you doing here?
What are you up to now?
Junior Sister Nangong,
it's been years.
You've grown even more beautiful.
Han Xuan, what...
Tie Hanhan,
what do you think
the Demon Suppression Bureau will do
when they find out the Purple Jade Pendant
was stolen?
Senior Brother Han,
how do you know the Purple Jade Pendant
was stolen?
If I want to know something,
I'll find out.
You're making this up!
Who said the Purple Jade Pendant
was stolen?
We can always check, can't we?
That's right.
We can always check.
What, are you afraid?
Senior Brother Han,
there's no point
hiding it anymore.
We failed in our duty,
and the Purple Jade Pendant was stolen.
I'm ready to accept my punishment.
You...
Junior Sister Nangong,
come with me.
I'll keep you safe.
Han Xuan, you...
Punish me instead.
I'm the one who lost it.
Xiao Ju Hao!
Xiao Ju Hao, don't listen to him!
Oh! You fool, Tie Hanhan!
My father is an officer
in the Demon Suppression Bureau,
and he's going to be its next Chief.
What chance do you have
against me?
Well, well! I just walked in
and heard you all bragging
about your fathers.
What's going on?
Can't you get along
with your own fellow disciples?
Martial Uncle Mei!
Martial Uncle,
we were just joking around.
Martial Uncle Mei,
you aren't taking it seriously, are you?
Just joking,
joking.
We're all from the same sect,
so we should stand together.
Don't you agree?
Yes!
Martial Uncle Mei is absolutely right.
But some people
have bad intentions.
Since we lost the Purple Jade Pendant,
we'll find it ourselves.
There's no need for you to worry,
Senior Brother Han.
That's good.
Martial Uncle, Junior Sisters,
I'll take my leave.
Young Master,
please calm down.
Once your father becomes the Chief
of the Bureau,
getting rid of him
will be easy.
Junior Sister Qianxue!
Watch my sword!
Young Master, run!
Hurry!
What a fine magical artifact!
I still underestimated you.
Young Master,
shall I
send some men right away?
To...
It's all my fault.
It's all my fault!
Don't worry.
We'll find a way to solve it.
Qianxue.
Why are you in Yunshui Town?
Aren't you on official business?
Do you remember
fighting the fox demon that night
to buy time?
So you were
the person in black that night.
Yes, exactly.
Then you came here tonight to...
I just saw a ghost shadow.
I chased it to the Qianhu Mansion,
but it suddenly disappeared.
Have you seen this shadow?
Oh no.
Then the Lord Qianhu...
Definitely not.
Xiao Juhao, don't talk nonsense.
In that case,
I hope you can help us
catch the fox demon.
I would be very grateful.
No need to be so polite, Senior Brother.
It's my duty.
Isn't Uncle Mei here too?
Where is he?
Uncle Mei went to the Bureau
of Demon Suppression for some business.
I see.
[The Qianhu Mansion]
My lord,
they are here.
Lord Qianhu.
I didn't know
the Celestial Master was coming.
Excuse me for not going out to meet you.
Lord Qianhu, are you alright?
To make a long story short,
I saw a dark shadow last night
disappear near the Qianhu Mansion.
Did you notice anything, my lord?
May I ask who this is?
This is Senior Sister Qianxue.
She was sent by the Bureau of Demon
Suppression to help us catch the fox demon.
So it's the Celestial Master
from the Bureau of Demon Suppression.
Pardon my lack of manners.
A fox demon
caused trouble here again last night.
Lord Qianhu,
do you have any clues?
I have sent people
to search all over Yunshui Town,
but we found no trace.
According to Senior Sister Qianxue,
the man in black
should have appeared nearby.
The Glazed Lamp also senses
the demonic aura getting closer.
Hanhan, look.
Something's wrong.
I have told you everything I know.
Since that's the case, I'll take my leave.
Lord Qianhu,
I'll be leaving too.
Senior Sister, wait for me.
My lord.
Go investigate this Meng Qianxue
and see what her background is.
Got it!
What kind of monster is this?
They are puppets.
You're courting death.
Oh no,
let's go.
Xiao Juhao,
did you notice
that Lord Yin seems a bit off?
Xiao Juhao.
What's wrong?
Forget it,
pretend I didn't say anything.
I didn't say anything wrong.
Senior Sister, wait for me.
Look.
Go.
Okay.
Brother Hanhan, Sister Yuru,
you're back.
Did you find anything?
Reporting to the lady boss,
everything is normal.
You little rascal.
Did you find anything?
Forget ot.
As soon as we arrived
at the western outskirts of the city,
we were attacked by black-clothed puppets.
Fortunately, we reacted quickly.
Miss, are you alright?
I'm fine, sir.
Miss, be careful.
I'm so sorry.
I apologize for offending you just now.
Thank you for your help just now, sir.
Please don't blame yourself.
May I ask your name, miss?
My name is Hua Qingcheng.
Hua Qingcheng.
The name Qingcheng really suits you.
Thank you for the compliment, sir.
It's already late at night.
Why are you alone on the street?
I...
I couldn't sleep,
so I came out for a walk.
I see.
There have been fox demons
in town recently.
Please be more careful, miss.
Thank you for the reminder, sir.
I bid you farewell.
Oh no!
Oh no!
What's wrong, Xiao Juhao?
The fox demon killed someone again!
Where?
Let's go.
It's right here.
Brother Hanhan, how is it?
It was indeed done by a fox demon.
It's her.
Xiao Juhao.
You go back to the inn first.
I have something urgent.
We'll meet at the inn later.
What about this body?
Don't worry.
Leave it to me.
Alright.
Where did she go?
Sir.
Are you looking for me?
Miss Hua.
The Glazed Lamp on your waist
is really beautiful.
This was passed down from my parents.
Then,
are you a Monster Hunter?
You are really smart
to be able to tell.
Tie Hanhan!
Yuru!
Miss Hua.
I've got an urgent matter to deal with.
I'll be off then.
Yuru, wait for me!
Yuru.
Listen to my explanation!
Yuru!
Tie Hanhan.
I didn't expect you to be such a person.
I...
What?
I saw everything!
Are you jealous?
No!
Are you jealous?
I'm just not!
Hanxuan.
Fine.
Since you want to talk,
I'll give you a chance.
Speak.
Say something!
Tie Hanhan!
Tie Hanhan,
you just wait.
Han Xuan,
why do you have the fox demon's mark?
Han Xuan.
Han Xuan,
wake up!
Miss,
we have no grudge against each other.
Why do you...
That is not how a wretch
like you should behave.
Take this!
Take care! She's a fox demon in disguise.
No wonder you seduce men.
Don't chase her!
Don't push a cornered enemy too far.
Watch out for a trap.
But she...
I have ways to find her.
[Yunshui Inn]
Brother Hanhan.
Brother Hanhan,
what's wrong?
Slow down.
Brother Hanhan, what happened?
I ran into Han Xuan.
He injured me.
Senior Brother Han?
How could he...
He's under the fox demon's illusion.
He's out of control.
Sister Yuru.
What happened?
He was injured by Senior Brother Han.
Han Xuan?
He's under that fox demon's illusion.
Weren't you also
under that fox demon's illusion?
I...
What fox demon?
That woman really
is a fox demon in disguise.
You mean Miss Hua?
You...
No wonder she entered
the Qianhu Mansion.
It must have something
to do with the Mansion.
Right.
Counting the days,
Uncle Mei should be back by now.
Open! Open the door!
What brings the two Masters here
so late at night?
We saw a ghost enter the Qianhu Mansion.
We're here to investigate.
A ghost?
I saw it with my own eyes.
How could I be wrong?
Let us in and we'll find out.
The Lord is resting.
I'll go inform him now.
Please wait a moment.
Step aside.
Masters,
Masters!
Master,
please spare me...
Stop!
Xiao Juhao!
Good thing we came prepared.
It really is him.
Senior Brother Han.
Are you okay?
My Lord, you...
It seems that Lord Qianhu has been killed.
He...
Form the array!
Careful!
My Lord!
This must be
the legendary millennium fox demon.
Just as I thought.
This is your true form, isn't it?
You slaughtered my fox clan.
I will definitely
govern the human race!
Get out of the way, Junior Sister.
Senior Brother Han.
Set up the formation.
Four Symbols Eight Trigrams Formation.
Rise.
Escape.
Five Thunders Vajra Formation.
Break!
Combine the two formations!
Senior Brother Han.
Senior Brother Han.
Senior Brother Han, are you okay?
Senior Brother Han.
Senior Brother Han.
Senior Brother Han.
Hold on, Senior Brother Han.
I'll heal you now.
Senior Brother Han. Senior Brother Han.
Senior Brother Han.
Senior Brother Han.
Yunshui Town is finally peaceful.
The great hero is amazing.
Nothing. Nothing!
That's great!
The great hero is amazing.
It's what I should do.
We've become
the great heroes of Yunshui Town now.
It feels good.
Of course.
But,
if I could marry you,
it would be even better.
You and your big mouth.
In your dreams.
Public display of
affection gets you killed.
Isn't that right, Xiao Juhao?
Yes!
- Do you want to be beaten?
- Do you want to be beaten?
Sister Qianxue, run!
Don't run!
Stop! Don't move!
How dare you laugh at me!
Stop! Don't run away!
Stop right there!
Stop!
there's said to be a thousand-year-old
fox demon that's been lurking here
coming out only at night
and preying on the living.
It's thrown Yunshui Town
into complete chaos,
with everyone living in fear.
Senior brother, the demonic aura here
is so strong.
Watch out!
Look!
It's already midnight.
The Fox Demon King
is about to break free of its seal.
We have to go!
Oh no!
There's a demon nearby!
Close your eyes.
Am I beautiful?
Come here.
Am I beautiful?
Look at me.
Open your eyes.
Oh no! The seal's been broken.
That demon's just stalling for time.
Hurry and stop the fox demon
before it breaks through the seal.
You need to get out of here!
Okay!
Good grief!
Are you sure that's a good idea?
The demon-trapping formation
is about to fail!
Go!
Let's see how much more trouble
you old demon can cause!
Senior Brother, what should we do?
Watch out!
You audacious fox demon!
How dare you run wild!
Where's Senior Ye?
Those foxes have trapped him.
Good grief!
Looks like they
came prepared after all.
Oh no! The fox demon
has revealed its true form!
Senior Meng!
What's wrong?
Are you all right?
Senior? Senior?
Senior Meng,
have you lost your mind?
Could he be under the fox demon's spell?
Kill them!
You vile beast!
Yunniang!
You slaughtered my entire fox clan.
I'll make you pay in blood!
Yunniang! Yunniang!
Junior! Junior!
Are you all right?
Take care of
the child...
Junior!
Junior!
Junior!
[The Monster Hunt Celestial Master]
[The Celestial Masters have five great magical artifacts: The Glazed Lamp,
Jade Pipa, Celestial Seal, Demon-Revealing Mirror, and Purple Jade Pendant.]
[The Glazed Lamp rings when demons are near. The Jade Pipa's sound waves cut like blades. The Celestial
Seal subdues demons and breaks formations. The Demon-Revealing Mirror destroys demons' souls.]
[Only the Purple Jade Pendant can aid one's cultivation,
making it the artifact most coveted by the demon clan.]
How could you do this?
I thought we were brothers!
And you went and stole my pig!
I didn't steal it! I just wanted to
take it out for some fresh air!
Bullshit!
Hey, pretty lady.
What are you staring at? Huh?
Help!
Murder!
Keep drinking. Ignore her. Keep drinking.
Have a drink! Come on!
A monster's killing people!
Don't run away!
You haven't paid yet!
Xiao Juhao!
You scared off all my customers!
Looks like
the fox demon
has finally shown up.
All right.
Where did you
find the monster?
In...
North Market Street
and...
West Market Street.
We don't have time to waste.
Let's split up and investigate.
Okay.
How awful.
This is just terrible.
Isn't that Auntie Wang's son?
What a horrible way to die.
Yeah.
That's terrifying.
So it really was a demon.
Xiao Juhao was right after all.
Looks like something terrible
is about to happen in Yunshui Town.
What a gruesome death.
The fox demon did this again.
What's going on here?
He's got some nerve.
Look! He's taking the dead man's pulse!
That's strange.
What is he trying to do?
How can a corpse still have a pulse?
It's coming back to life! Run!
Senior Mei, watch out!
I'm a dignified
seventh-rank Celestial Master.
Why would I be afraid of a corpse?
You're amazing!
Come on. Take the body back.
What are you doing?
We're acting on orders from Lord Qianhu.
We're taking the body in for examination.
You're just an inn attendant.
How dare you interfere with
an official investigation?
I...
The Demon Suppression Bureau
is investigating.
Oh, so you're a Celestial Master
from the Demon Suppression Bureau.
Now that you're acting on
Lord Qianhu's orders,
then please, go ahead.
Come on.
Take it away!
We'll be off, then.
Let's go!
Why did you stop me just now?
I want to see
how this newly appointed Lord Qianhu
plans to handle the matter.
The air is dry.
Be careful with open flames!
The air is dry.
Be careful with open flames!
Have you heard?
There have been a lot of
demons around town lately.
Who cares what kind of demon it is?
With Lord Qianhu here,
not a single demon will get away!
Let's go.
Why is it you?
You scared me to death.
Since when did you get so timid?
Look.
This...
What's going on?
That demon must be behind this.
Mother.
Please watch over me from heaven.
I swear I'll avenge you.
Master.
Reporting to you, Lord Qianhu.
The Monster Hunt Celestial Masters
have arrived.
Lord Qianhu.
Did you discover anything
this morning?
Neither of the two bodies
had any claw marks,
nor were there any obvious wounds.
However...
Their foreheads were dark,
and their pupils were dull.
It looks more like
they were possessed.
Possessed?
Looks like this fox demon
is even more powerful than I thought.
That powerful?
Yuru,
what should we do?
Our top priority now
is to protect the people of Yunshui Town
from the fox demon's attacks.
Well said, my lord.
We've come here under orders
from the Demon Suppression Bureau
to investigate this case.
The bigger picture comes first.
As the Qianhu of Yunshui Town,
I'll brave any danger
and do whatever it takes.
Good.
Then we'll leave this
in your capable hands, Lord Qianhu.
We'll take our leave.
Safe travels, Celestial Masters.
Xiao Juhao, let's go.
Wait...
The fox demon's here!
- You...
- The fox demon's here!
What's going on?
Look!
Excuse me, sir.
Why are the people in the street...
I don't know anything!
I don't know!
The Fox Immortal eats people!
The Fox Immortal?
Yuru.
Do you think he...
Looks like
the people here have been terrorized
by the fox demon for a long time.
Tell me,
should we report this to
the Demon Suppression Bureau?
No.
We still don't know enough
about the fox demon.
Reporting it now
would only make things worse.
Are they afraid we'll...
What are you doing?
Why are you closing up in broad daylight?
Are you closed?
Exactly!
If we stayed open,
we'd be leaving ourselves
for the fox demon's dinner!
The fox demon?
The fox demon?
What?
Haven't you even heard of
the famous fox demon?
No wonder
we've barely seen anyone along the way.
W-What's there to be afraid of?
I'm making my way
in the martial world.
Bro, the fox demon's here.
Come on in.
Quick!
Move, move, move!
[Yunshui Inn]
[Qianhu Office]
Master.
How's the investigation going?
Security has been tightened all over town.
Looks like
I'll have to meet them myself.
Your power is unmatched, Master.
You'll soon achieve greatness.
What does this fox demon
actually look like?
Senior Mei,
have you ever seen one?
I have lived this long.
What kind of demon haven't I seen?
Really?
Then how do you
deal with them?
I have a treasure.
Let me show you.
With this magical artifact,
what do I have to fear from a fox demon?
This looks way more powerful
than my Demon-Revealing Mirror.
Of course it does!
That's something good.
Bro.
We're gonna be rich.
Brother Hanhan.
What took you so long to come down?
We've been waiting ages.
By the way, Senior Mei,
when are you going to
teach us the formation techniques?
Yeah!
Old Mei!
Senior!
Senior!
That depends on
what kind of mood I'm in.
As the Monster Hunt Masters,
our top priority
is to find the fox demon
as soon as possible,
not to teach formation techniques.
Well,
that's absolutely right.
So,
what should we do now?
What should we do?
Huh?
What's going on here?
The Fox Immortal is eating people!
Young Master,
what about...
We should hurry to Yunshui Town.
Young Master!
Let's go.
My Lord!
Have you found anything?
We found strange fox tail patterns
near the mansion.
Fox tail patterns?
Yes.
Please take a look.
Keep the entire mansion on high alert.
Don't let the fox demon sneak in.
Understood.
Get out of the way!
Listen,
we can't let them find out
that we're the legendary thieves.
Got it?
When the time comes,
watch my signals
and don't do anything reckless.
Chief,
I heard
their town's prized treasure
is even more impressive.
Let's go.
[The Qianhu Mansion]
Wow, well done!
Well done!
That was impressive!
I was wondering who it could be.
It's the Celestial Master himself!
Please forgive me
for not welcoming you sooner.
Lord Qianhu,
your swordsmanship is impressive,
and your moves are quite unique.
I'm
truly impressed.
You're too kind,
Celestial Master.
My Lord,
I've come to discuss something
with you today.
Please, go ahead.
Lord Qianhu,
have you
ever seen this pattern?
Young Master,
we're here in Yunshui Town.
Do you know
where your Senior Brother Tie has gone?
Tie Hanhan?
He went to Yunshui Town.
Years ago,
the 4 of us sealed the Fox Demon King
in Yunshui Town.
But
we were too full of ourselves,
and we underestimated the Fox Demon King.
Because of that,
your Aunt Yun lost her life.
Your Martial Uncle Ye
was so heartbroken
that he became a monk.
Xue,
your Senior Brother Tie
was Aunt Yun's
only child.
Yunshui Town is now in great danger,
so
Don't act recklessly.
Be careful.
Do you understand what I'm telling you?
Young Master, it's getting late.
Let's find an inn and get some rest.
All right.
It's strange
that we haven't seen anything
unusual
along the way.
Do you think
the fox demon got scared and ran away?
You're pretty full of yourself.
Do you think that fox demon
is just waiting for you to catch it?
Well,
why are you looking at me?
You know what?
You look especially stunning
today.
Really?
Go away.
Stop teasing me.
You're such a smooth talker.
Please! When am I not gorgeous?
It's strange.
Everyone's been staying indoors
these past few days.
The town is practically deserted.
I wonder where the fox demon
is hiding.
If I knew where it was,
I'd drag it back here myself!
Are you here to hunt demons
or flirt with each other?
Get out of the way!
Watch out, Yuru!
Where did he go?
Watch out!
You're back!
Why ignoring me?
Whatever.
Oh no! He's just buying time!
What should we do?
Get out of here. I'll hold him off.
No, we're leaving together!
None of you
are getting away today!
Get out of here. I'll hold him off.
No!
We're leaving together!
You two, get out of here!
I'll handle this!
Go! Hurry!
Go!
Are you here for a meal or a room?
We'd like a room.
Welcome, guests. Please come inside.
Show our guests to their rooms.
Come on in,
folks!
Right this way!
Come on in!
Please.
Where did it go?
Yeah.
Chief!
Did you find anything?
Look over here!
This must be the town's prized treasure!
Chief,
we've got it!
Oh no! It's a trap!
Get out of here!
Stop right there!
Who's stealing here?
Oh no!
We've been caught!
Let's go!
Young Master!
Go after them!
My Lord,
here's your snow fungus
and lotus seed soup.
Stop right there!
Who are you, really?
This...
We fell for the fox demon's trick!
Where's Xiao Ju Hao?
Xiao Ju Hao!
Who is it?
Xiao Ju Hao!
Hanhan.
What happened?
What are you doing back here?
The Purple Jade Pendant is gone!
What?
Xiao Ju Hao,
where did the Purple Jade
Pendant go?
What do you mean, where did it go?
The Purple Jade Pendant is missing?
What should we do?
It's missing!
I don't remember.
I can't remember anything!
What should we do?
After we left,
Did Martial Uncle Mei come back
after we left?
Martial Uncle Mei?
No.
I bet
that fox demon planned this whole thing
in advance.
That stinky fox demon!
Young Master,
they vanished.
It looks like we can't catch them.
That's right.
There's no need to chase them.
Li Gui,
Xiao Ju Hao was the only one at the inn
when the Purple Jade Pendant was stolen,
right?
That's right.
She was the only one there.
Young Master,
are you saying that
they...
The Purple Jade Pendant is gone.
How can you compete with me now,
Tie Hanhan?
Martial Uncle!
Why are you all sleeping?
Martial Uncle Mei!
The Purple Jade Pendant
was stolen last night.
The Purple Jade Pendant was stolen?
The Qianhu Mansion
was attacked
last night, too.
Is Lord Qianhu
all right?
Enough!
That old fox demon
is quite the mastermind.
Our top priority is
to get the Purple Jade Pendant back.
Exactly.
If the Demon Suppression Bureau hears that
the pendant is missing,
things will get even worse
for us.
Reporting, My Lord!
Come in.
My Lord,
we found another fox tail pattern
by the river outside town.
Go check
the silk shops that sell this fabric.
See
if you can find anything.
Understood.
It's strange. What kind of fox demon
are we dealing with?
My fellow junior brother and sisters!
Senior Brother Han!
What brings you here?
What are you doing here?
What are you up to now?
Junior Sister Nangong,
it's been years.
You've grown even more beautiful.
Han Xuan, what...
Tie Hanhan,
what do you think
the Demon Suppression Bureau will do
when they find out the Purple Jade Pendant
was stolen?
Senior Brother Han,
how do you know the Purple Jade Pendant
was stolen?
If I want to know something,
I'll find out.
You're making this up!
Who said the Purple Jade Pendant
was stolen?
We can always check, can't we?
That's right.
We can always check.
What, are you afraid?
Senior Brother Han,
there's no point
hiding it anymore.
We failed in our duty,
and the Purple Jade Pendant was stolen.
I'm ready to accept my punishment.
You...
Junior Sister Nangong,
come with me.
I'll keep you safe.
Han Xuan, you...
Punish me instead.
I'm the one who lost it.
Xiao Ju Hao!
Xiao Ju Hao, don't listen to him!
Oh! You fool, Tie Hanhan!
My father is an officer
in the Demon Suppression Bureau,
and he's going to be its next Chief.
What chance do you have
against me?
Well, well! I just walked in
and heard you all bragging
about your fathers.
What's going on?
Can't you get along
with your own fellow disciples?
Martial Uncle Mei!
Martial Uncle,
we were just joking around.
Martial Uncle Mei,
you aren't taking it seriously, are you?
Just joking,
joking.
We're all from the same sect,
so we should stand together.
Don't you agree?
Yes!
Martial Uncle Mei is absolutely right.
But some people
have bad intentions.
Since we lost the Purple Jade Pendant,
we'll find it ourselves.
There's no need for you to worry,
Senior Brother Han.
That's good.
Martial Uncle, Junior Sisters,
I'll take my leave.
Young Master,
please calm down.
Once your father becomes the Chief
of the Bureau,
getting rid of him
will be easy.
Junior Sister Qianxue!
Watch my sword!
Young Master, run!
Hurry!
What a fine magical artifact!
I still underestimated you.
Young Master,
shall I
send some men right away?
To...
It's all my fault.
It's all my fault!
Don't worry.
We'll find a way to solve it.
Qianxue.
Why are you in Yunshui Town?
Aren't you on official business?
Do you remember
fighting the fox demon that night
to buy time?
So you were
the person in black that night.
Yes, exactly.
Then you came here tonight to...
I just saw a ghost shadow.
I chased it to the Qianhu Mansion,
but it suddenly disappeared.
Have you seen this shadow?
Oh no.
Then the Lord Qianhu...
Definitely not.
Xiao Juhao, don't talk nonsense.
In that case,
I hope you can help us
catch the fox demon.
I would be very grateful.
No need to be so polite, Senior Brother.
It's my duty.
Isn't Uncle Mei here too?
Where is he?
Uncle Mei went to the Bureau
of Demon Suppression for some business.
I see.
[The Qianhu Mansion]
My lord,
they are here.
Lord Qianhu.
I didn't know
the Celestial Master was coming.
Excuse me for not going out to meet you.
Lord Qianhu, are you alright?
To make a long story short,
I saw a dark shadow last night
disappear near the Qianhu Mansion.
Did you notice anything, my lord?
May I ask who this is?
This is Senior Sister Qianxue.
She was sent by the Bureau of Demon
Suppression to help us catch the fox demon.
So it's the Celestial Master
from the Bureau of Demon Suppression.
Pardon my lack of manners.
A fox demon
caused trouble here again last night.
Lord Qianhu,
do you have any clues?
I have sent people
to search all over Yunshui Town,
but we found no trace.
According to Senior Sister Qianxue,
the man in black
should have appeared nearby.
The Glazed Lamp also senses
the demonic aura getting closer.
Hanhan, look.
Something's wrong.
I have told you everything I know.
Since that's the case, I'll take my leave.
Lord Qianhu,
I'll be leaving too.
Senior Sister, wait for me.
My lord.
Go investigate this Meng Qianxue
and see what her background is.
Got it!
What kind of monster is this?
They are puppets.
You're courting death.
Oh no,
let's go.
Xiao Juhao,
did you notice
that Lord Yin seems a bit off?
Xiao Juhao.
What's wrong?
Forget it,
pretend I didn't say anything.
I didn't say anything wrong.
Senior Sister, wait for me.
Look.
Go.
Okay.
Brother Hanhan, Sister Yuru,
you're back.
Did you find anything?
Reporting to the lady boss,
everything is normal.
You little rascal.
Did you find anything?
Forget ot.
As soon as we arrived
at the western outskirts of the city,
we were attacked by black-clothed puppets.
Fortunately, we reacted quickly.
Miss, are you alright?
I'm fine, sir.
Miss, be careful.
I'm so sorry.
I apologize for offending you just now.
Thank you for your help just now, sir.
Please don't blame yourself.
May I ask your name, miss?
My name is Hua Qingcheng.
Hua Qingcheng.
The name Qingcheng really suits you.
Thank you for the compliment, sir.
It's already late at night.
Why are you alone on the street?
I...
I couldn't sleep,
so I came out for a walk.
I see.
There have been fox demons
in town recently.
Please be more careful, miss.
Thank you for the reminder, sir.
I bid you farewell.
Oh no!
Oh no!
What's wrong, Xiao Juhao?
The fox demon killed someone again!
Where?
Let's go.
It's right here.
Brother Hanhan, how is it?
It was indeed done by a fox demon.
It's her.
Xiao Juhao.
You go back to the inn first.
I have something urgent.
We'll meet at the inn later.
What about this body?
Don't worry.
Leave it to me.
Alright.
Where did she go?
Sir.
Are you looking for me?
Miss Hua.
The Glazed Lamp on your waist
is really beautiful.
This was passed down from my parents.
Then,
are you a Monster Hunter?
You are really smart
to be able to tell.
Tie Hanhan!
Yuru!
Miss Hua.
I've got an urgent matter to deal with.
I'll be off then.
Yuru, wait for me!
Yuru.
Listen to my explanation!
Yuru!
Tie Hanhan.
I didn't expect you to be such a person.
I...
What?
I saw everything!
Are you jealous?
No!
Are you jealous?
I'm just not!
Hanxuan.
Fine.
Since you want to talk,
I'll give you a chance.
Speak.
Say something!
Tie Hanhan!
Tie Hanhan,
you just wait.
Han Xuan,
why do you have the fox demon's mark?
Han Xuan.
Han Xuan,
wake up!
Miss,
we have no grudge against each other.
Why do you...
That is not how a wretch
like you should behave.
Take this!
Take care! She's a fox demon in disguise.
No wonder you seduce men.
Don't chase her!
Don't push a cornered enemy too far.
Watch out for a trap.
But she...
I have ways to find her.
[Yunshui Inn]
Brother Hanhan.
Brother Hanhan,
what's wrong?
Slow down.
Brother Hanhan, what happened?
I ran into Han Xuan.
He injured me.
Senior Brother Han?
How could he...
He's under the fox demon's illusion.
He's out of control.
Sister Yuru.
What happened?
He was injured by Senior Brother Han.
Han Xuan?
He's under that fox demon's illusion.
Weren't you also
under that fox demon's illusion?
I...
What fox demon?
That woman really
is a fox demon in disguise.
You mean Miss Hua?
You...
No wonder she entered
the Qianhu Mansion.
It must have something
to do with the Mansion.
Right.
Counting the days,
Uncle Mei should be back by now.
Open! Open the door!
What brings the two Masters here
so late at night?
We saw a ghost enter the Qianhu Mansion.
We're here to investigate.
A ghost?
I saw it with my own eyes.
How could I be wrong?
Let us in and we'll find out.
The Lord is resting.
I'll go inform him now.
Please wait a moment.
Step aside.
Masters,
Masters!
Master,
please spare me...
Stop!
Xiao Juhao!
Good thing we came prepared.
It really is him.
Senior Brother Han.
Are you okay?
My Lord, you...
It seems that Lord Qianhu has been killed.
He...
Form the array!
Careful!
My Lord!
This must be
the legendary millennium fox demon.
Just as I thought.
This is your true form, isn't it?
You slaughtered my fox clan.
I will definitely
govern the human race!
Get out of the way, Junior Sister.
Senior Brother Han.
Set up the formation.
Four Symbols Eight Trigrams Formation.
Rise.
Escape.
Five Thunders Vajra Formation.
Break!
Combine the two formations!
Senior Brother Han.
Senior Brother Han.
Senior Brother Han, are you okay?
Senior Brother Han.
Senior Brother Han.
Senior Brother Han.
Hold on, Senior Brother Han.
I'll heal you now.
Senior Brother Han. Senior Brother Han.
Senior Brother Han.
Senior Brother Han.
Yunshui Town is finally peaceful.
The great hero is amazing.
Nothing. Nothing!
That's great!
The great hero is amazing.
It's what I should do.
We've become
the great heroes of Yunshui Town now.
It feels good.
Of course.
But,
if I could marry you,
it would be even better.
You and your big mouth.
In your dreams.
Public display of
affection gets you killed.
Isn't that right, Xiao Juhao?
Yes!
- Do you want to be beaten?
- Do you want to be beaten?
Sister Qianxue, run!
Don't run!
Stop! Don't move!
How dare you laugh at me!
Stop! Don't run away!
Stop right there!
Stop!
