(The Legend of ShenLi)

(Episode 22)

The one who should be worried isn't worried,

so why are you so anxious?

If I'm kept locked up any longer, I'll lose my mind.

On any other day,

I would have raided the lair of those scoundrels with my spear.

It seems to me

that you're just feeling resentful

and itching for revenge

because you've been bullied.

You can't leave.

I'll help you get justice.

I don't need that.

Does your injury still hurt?

Let me out.

No.

Divine Lord.

Divine Lord. Your Highness.

Your Highness, Heavenly Lord requests your presence at Lingxiao Hall.

There's an urgent matter.

Why can't he just send a message?

Divine Lord, it's really an urgent matter.

Lead the way.

Then let's go together.

Lord Bi Cang, news has arrived from the Spiritual Realm.

The capital of the Spiritual Realm

has been attacked by the Northern Sea Clan.

Spiritual Sovereign is unconscious.

Dozens of generals sacrificed themselves.

There's chaos everywhere. The situation is extremely critical.

When was this news received?

It came five days ago.

But due to the fire attack in the Immortal Realm,

all the immortals have been occupied.

The letter was just delivered to me today.

(This is a battle report from five days ago.)

(The situation must have gotten worse now.)

(The inefficiency of the Immortal Realm is absolutely beyond belief.)

(However, at this time, any complaints against allies are futile.)

(In critical situations, I must stay calm and analyze.)

It seems that the attack on the Immortal Realm five days ago was a feint.

It was a diversion.

The opponent's feint

has caused the immortals to run around in circles,

making you a mess.

You have no time to spare for anything else,

so naturally you can't help the Spiritual Realm.

However, Spiritual Sovereign is unconscious

and dozens of generals have sacrificed themselves.

Such heavy casualties

are not something the Spiritual Realm should have suffered.

(The generals of the Spiritual Realm are all elite.)

Heavenly Lord, please allow me to return to the Spiritual Realm.

That's for sure.

Spiritual Sovereign's coma must be due to serious injuries.

Give these elixirs to her.

I've mobilized troops.

We will soon assist the Spiritual Realm to annihilate the criminals.

The riots and attacks in the Spiritual Realm

are definitely not accidental.

If we are to deduce logically,

this should be a struggle for power.

The Northern Sea Clan

might just be a pretense.

My Lord, I'm thinking the same exact thing.

I believe someone must be scheming in the Spiritual Realm.

They want to overthrow Spiritual Sovereign and establish a new ruler.

But at that time, the new ruler

would surely be in opposition to the Immortal Realm.

That would be extremely troublesome.

My Lord, you've been working hard lately,

and the Flower Banquet has not been held.

We are really incompetent.

My Lord, you have been away from the Sky's Beyond for a long time.

But the Sky's Beyond...

I will return to the Sky's Beyond tomorrow.

Sure.

Thank you for your care during the past few days.

I'll bid you farewell now.

It's time to regain control.

I was indecisive and disoriented.

I feel a sense of loss and emptiness.

(Whether it's the affairs of the world or her, )

(you knew all along)

(that you should let go.)

Come on, take it easy.

Take it slow.

Get up quickly.

Come on, drink some water.

Come.

Who is it?

Your Highness? It's Her Highness!

Her Highness is back! Your Highness!

Control your emotions.

You look terrible.

No matter what happens now,

soldiers must not shed tears while on duty.

If I see anyone shedding tears and shaking the military's morale,

- they'll be executed. - Understood.

Where is Spiritual Sovereign?

Your Highness, Spiritual Sovereign is resting in the palace.

She hasn't regained consciousness?

Your Highness.

Did Spiritual Sovereign's condition worsen?

Spiritual Sovereign is still unconscious.

These elixirs were given by Heavenly Lord. See if they are useful.

Your Highness is truly a blessing to the Spiritual Realm.

Enough with the flattery.

Why was Spiritual Sovereign injured?

The injury Spiritual Sovereign suffered was from a sword to the neck.

But the cut wasn't deep.

What truly caused Spiritual Sovereign to fall into a coma

- Your Highness. - is poison.

- What kind of poison? - It seems to be a type of miasma poison.

In the early stages of poisoning, it can make people lose their minds,

eventually leading to unconsciousness.

The wounds of a poisoned person cannot heal and will continue to bleed.

But this type of miasma poison is slightly different from others.

It seems to cause great harm to the bodies of the Spiritual Clan,

but poses little threat to other things.

It's as if it were a poison refined specifically for the Spiritual Clan.

Miasma?

Is it difficult to cure my poison?

Slightly difficult.

(But at that time, the poison wasn't too severe.)

(Xing Zhi only used a little power to disperse the miasma.)

(Now this poison...)

(Didn't that person die back then?)

Where are Qing Yan and Chi Rong?

Before the incident occurred, Spiritual Sovereign

dispatched them to investigate the disturbances caused by the puppets.

They have not yet returned.

That's too much of a coincidence.

It's as if it were calculated.

Those generals...

Have the sacrificed generals been buried?

They are still kept in the military camp outside the city.

It may take several days before they can be buried.

Why?

According to military regulations,

after the battle,

the soldiers must be buried first

before the generals can be buried.

It's been five days,

and the soldiers still haven't been buried?

Guard Spiritual Sovereign.

Be sure to let Spiritual Sovereign wake up as soon as possible.

- Yes, Your Highness. - Yes, Your Highness.

Yes, Your Highness.

My son...

My son...

How could you leave your mother alone?

My son...

My son...

Your Highness! Your Highness is back!

- Your Highness! - Your Highness is back!

- Your Highness! - Your Highness!

- Your Highness is back! - Your Highness!

- Your Highness! - Your Highness is back!

- Your Highness! - Your Highness!

(The Spiritual Realm is not a chaotic mess.)

(These soldiers shouldn't see anyone as their savior.)

(They should be disciplined.)

(No matter what happens, they should stick to the plan.)

(Usually, they indeed behave this way.)

(Even if they were defeated, I had never seen them behave like this.)

(But this time...)

(It seems the situation is even more serious than imagined.)

- Your Highness! - Your Highness!

Your Highness!

I'm incompetent.

I'm guilty.

Generals, please rise.

(What kind of blow was it to make)

(the usually spirited soldiers of the Spiritual Realm so depressed?)

First, tell me,

what happened in the Spiritual Realm?

Five days ago,

a group of troops suddenly attacked from the south.

They...

They had only 200 men.

Two hundred men?

Two hundred.

Just 200 men have brought our Spiritual Realm to such a state?

Who are they?

They fought under the flag of the Northern Sea Clan.

They were all burly men, clad in black armor, wielding formidable strength.

And they had

exceptionally sharp weapons.

They directly snapped people's necks or beat them to death,

and some were even

hacked to death.

Their strength was immense.

Their skin seemed different from ordinary people's.

It's hard for ordinary soldiers to pierce through it.

Only generals with spiritual power

could injure them a little

by pouring their power into their weapons.

Did they leave any bodies behind?

No.

I'm sure

I've chopped off the heads of more than 30 enemies,

but their bodies were all taken away by them.

Only eight or nine enemies

were captured by Spiritual Sovereign and blown into pieces.

(If it were them...)

(There were 200 of them.)

(Their strength is indeed not to be underestimated.)

Who is their leader?

It's a man in black wearing a cloak.

He seems no different from ordinary people,

but his swordsmanship is extremely weird.

Spiritual Sovereign was injured by his sword.

As expected of Lord Bi Cang.

(That)

(does make sense.)

(But why would he be with the Northern Sea Clan?)

(He captured Mountain Spirits and Earth Immortals in the Mortal Realm.)

(Now, he made elaborate plans to first feign attack the Immortal Realm)

(and then attack the Spiritual Realm.)

What is the reason

they attacked the Spiritual Realm?

They took away

Spiritual Sovereign's Golden Seal.

Golden Seal?

Is it truly a struggle for power?

But even if they take away the Golden Seal,

what kind of power can they gain?

(I can call out the names)

(of all the people lying here.)

(But now, )

(I can't recognize some of their faces anymore.)

(Some bodies are incomplete, )

(some faces unrecognizable, )

(and others...)

Who is this?

Mo Fang.

He fought fiercely and beheaded three enemies,

but was surrounded by several enemies

who devoured him alive.

Mo Fang?

Mo Fang

was devoured?

Dead or alive,

he has to be found.

Without a body, I won't believe it.

I saw it with my own eyes when General Mo Fang was devoured by them.

I did too.

Okay.

I understand.

(The Spiritual Realm suffered a devastating defeat, )

(and the soldiers died tragically.)

(If I were there at that time, )

(perhaps)

(it wouldn't have been like this.)

Your Highness,

don't blame yourself.

The dead cannot be resurrected.

There's no point regretting.

There's no point in feeling sorry either.

What I can do

is to let the living

continue to live.

How can you let me send you away?

How can I live?

My son...

My son...

How can I live?

I, with my name,

summon the River of Oblivion.

I, Shen Li, Lord Bi Cang,

swear on my life that

this enmity

will be avenged.

General, I have received reliable information.

Shen Li returned to the Spirit Realm this afternoon.

She brought back elixir from the Immortal Realm,

cured Spiritual Sovereign's poison,

and then used spells to calm tens of thousands of spirits in the capital.

She's practically like a savior.

No wonder the mediocre people of the Spiritual Realm worship her.

Even after searching the entire Spiritual Palace,

there's no trace of the Blue Sea Pearl.

Shen Mu Yue must have given the pearl to Shen Li.

It seems

I have to deal with her now.

General, we lost 58 puppets in the last battle.

Some bodies are still being assembled.

It might not be advisable to engage in battle again in the short term.

No matter how powerful Shen Li is,

she's just one person.

Send a few puppets to the Xutian Abyss.

Stir up some commotion.

Lure Shen Li out for me.

Then, I'll personally take action

and kill her to retrieve the Blue Sea Pearl.

Yes, General.

But...

But Young Master...

Before the matter is resolved,

you can't let Young Master know.

Yes, I understand.

I understand.

Young Master has been soft-hearted

toward Shen Li too many times.

I'm killing her

to retrieve the Blue Sea Pearl

and also to eliminate a future problem.

Once Shen Li is dead,

even if Young Master has any objections,

he won't be able to do anything.

Go find a few strong and healthy men

to help me regulate my inner energy.

Understood.

Spiritual Sovereign's poison has already worn off.

But due to excessive blood loss earlier,

she hasn't regained consciousness.

The three elders will take over the duties of Spiritual Sovereign for now.

During the enemy's attack on the capital, riots broke out.

However, within a few days, things gradually calmed down.

It's almost as if it was to divert

the attention of the military forces in the Spiritual Realm.

If such events occur,

it indicates...

There are traitors.

This is not just based on the riots alone.

A few days ago, I was studying the enemy's retreat route.

If it weren't for someone very familiar with the structure of the capital,

they wouldn't have withdrawn so quickly.

And what's worse is that

there were riots everywhere,

which means

there are

traitors everywhere.

Investigate.

These traitors are not only familiar with the local area

but also with the military structure of the Spiritual Realm.

They must be from within the military.

Those who went missing in this battle,

those whose whereabouts were hidden,

arrest their families across three generations

and subject them to individual questioning.

Report!

My Lords, those invulnerable monsters have appeared again.

What?

Where? How many of them?

Only four or five.

They're heading toward the Xutian Abyss.

There are thousands of ghouls in the Xutian Abyss.

If they break the barrier and release those ghouls,

it would be a devastating disaster for the Spiritual Realm.

Indeed.

The barrier of the Xutian Abyss won't break.

Calm down, everyone.

Are there any other actions besides this?

Yes, they are burning and killing along the way.

There's no one left alive wherever they pass.

Damn thing.

Do they think our Spiritual Realm is defenseless?

Your Highness.

I request to fight.

- I request to fight. - I request to fight.

I request to fight.

You can't.

We couldn't handle them in the capital before,

and now you think you can win?

What do you mean?

Should we allow them to run amok then?

Even at the expense of my life, I must stop them.

Shut up.

How can a general of the Spiritual Realm risk his life so easily?

It's ridiculous.

This time,

I will personally deal with those monsters.

- Your Highness. - Your Highness.

I've had experience in battling those monsters before.

I just don't know if they've become stronger after all this time.

Just in case...

- General Zhu Fei, General Shang Bei. - Yes, Your Highness.

Both of you have fought against these monsters in the previous battle.

Compared to other generals, you're more experienced and powerful.

This time, both of you will come with me.

- Yes, Your Highness. - Yes, Your Highness.

This battle is not about killing enemies, but about capturing them alive.

Even if we capture just one person,

bring it back to the capital for research

to find their fatal weaknesses

and prevent future attacks.

Yes, Your Highness.

Your Highness, we're not some new recruits.

Rashness is the last thing we need on the battlefield.

We understand.

You two are both elites in the military.

We cannot afford to lose any more of our Spiritual Clan.

Let's march!

Attack!

We, the villagers of Hongyuan Village,

live on the edge of the Xutian Abyss.

Due to the constant exposure to miasma,

we're weak and have no spiritual power.

We are unable to assist the Spiritual Realm in subduing the evil spirits.

We can only pray

- for peace in the Spiritual Realm. - Kneel down.

May the evil retreat.

Bow.

Let's go.

Come here.

Just stay here and scare him.

Don't leave. I'm Yuan.

- You scared me. - I knew you were causing trouble here.

It's too dark inside the house.

Let's go play outside.

Isn't this Hong's mask?

He was here just now.

- What's wrong with Yuan? - I don't know.

Yuan, what's wrong?

Run!

- Run! - Monster!

What is that?

Monster! Run!

It's a monster!

Run!

For burning the Immortal Realm and injuring me,

this is my return gift to you.

Interesting.

You're worthy of being my opponent.

It's my blessing to be remembered by Your Highness.

To be honest, I'd like to ask Your Highness for something today.

I know you won't agree,

so please allow me to take your life.

Who do you think you are?

Her Highness seems to be chasing the mastermind.

- Follow Her Highness! - Let's go!
