(The Legend of ShenLi)

(Episode 23)

My Lord, the Water Freezing Technique has no effect on her.

Attack.

How dare you lowly scoundrels

steal the techniques of the gods?

You seem to care a lot

about that god.

Mo Fang?

Who gave you permission to do this?

I am guilty.

But we must obtain

what Lord Bi Cang possesses.

I have to get it.

I kept it from you

because I was concerned that you might show her unnecessary kindness

because of your lingering attachment to the past.

Thus, to eliminate this potential hindrance,

I must get rid of her first.

I said,

who gave you permission to do this?

I acted on my own initiative,

but Lord Bi Cang

must die today.

Leave.

Today,

Lord Bi Cang must die.

I said, leave!

All right then.

Please forgive me

for defying your order.

Young Master?

Your Highness...

Young Master?

The fact that something like this happened means...

We have a mole.

If they weren't familiar with with the structure of the royal capital,

they wouldn't have been able

to escape so quickly.

So,

it's you.

Thinking back,

I still remember

that it was me who appointed you as a general

in the royal capital.

We've known each other for 300 years,

fought side by side on countless battlefields,

and even protected each other from getting killed.

I trusted you,

regarded you as my friend.

I've treated you well,

Her Majesty has treated you well,

and my realm has never harmed you.

Yet now, you slaughtered my people,

killed my generals,

harmed my ruler,

becoming a criminal endangering my realm.

Tell me,

shouldn't I kill you?

Endangering your realm?

The Spiritual Realm is under the control of the Immortal Realm these days,

no different from puppets.

Our young master is of high standing.

If it weren't for the circumstances,

he wouldn't have had to endure humiliation and go undercover in your realm.

If you want to talk about who is endangering the Spiritual Realm,

the Spiritual Sovereign you serve

is the real criminal,

a coward!

Shut up.

Your Highness,

it's my fault

for deceiving you.

I know my guilt is unforgivable.

If you've admitted your guilt,

what right do you have to call me "Your Highness"?

Young Master, you mustn't belittle yourself.

What guilt do you have?

The ones at fault are those foolish loyalists who lack foresight.

We went to great lengths to infiltrate the royal capital,

all for the sake of the Blue Sea Pearl.

I'm certain now that the Blue Sea Pearl is on Shen Li.

It's the only one in the world.

If we don't seize this pearl,

our thousand-year of efforts will go down the drain, Young Master.

Please don't let your feelings cloud your judgment.

Please prioritize the bigger picture.

Leave!

You shall die

before you steal something from me.

Release me.

Do you have any sense

of the bigger picture?

Once Shen Li dies underwater

and I extract the Blue Sea Pearl from her,

I'll leave her useless corpse

for you as a memento.

Let her out now!

Impossible!

We're so close to success.

How can you ask me to give up now?

What if I demand you release her?

Then you'll have to step over

my dead body.

I shall trample over your corpse today!

You should also pay for the deaths of the generals of our realm.

If dying can resolve this,

then so be it.

You really are going to kill me.

To you, I deserve death indeed.

Your Highness, this place is dangerous.

Even if you want to kill me,

you have to leave here first.

Your Highness,

there are no guards

in the southeast direction.

You must go now.

How can I trust you now?

Go now.

Go.

Since you won't trust me,

forgive me for being disrespectful then.

Your Highness!

The Blue Sea Pearl

is mine.

The Spiritual Realm should be safe now.

The mastermind is dead.

And the Xutian Abyss is safe too.

(Looks like)

(I can't go back anymore.)

(But at least)

(I've preserved many smiles, )

(and I've protected the people of my realm.)

(And the only regret)

(I have is...)

Cluck, I thought you wouldn't come back.

I didn't expect you to be waiting for me here.

You're a girl, after all.

Why are you acting like a man?

(Xing Zhi, )

(I wish I could eat your cooking one more time.)

Cluck,

it's time to eat.

(Xing Zhi...)

(Xing Zhi...)

(It hurts so much.)

(Sky's Beyond)

There's actually wind

blowing at Sky's Beyond.

The generals are here.

They're back.

They must've got rid of those monsters.

- Where is Her Highness? - Yes, where is Her Highness?

General, where is Her Highness?

Her Majesty is awake.

Your Majesty, you're finally awake.

The Spiritual Realm...

Our realm is safe now.

Don't worry, Your Majesty.

Her Highness has returned from the Immortal Realm.

She is confronting the enemy now.

Easy, Your Majesty.

She can't go.

Hurry.

Call her back now.

Your Majesty,

General Shang Bei has returned from the front line

and has been waiting outside for some time.

Quick, summon him in now.

- But... - Go.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Your Majesty.

Lord Bi Cang

sacrificed herself

to rid our realm of a formidable enemy.

She has

fallen in battle in the Eastern Sea.

I'm useless.

I witnessed Her Highness and the enemy perish together,

yet I couldn't do anything to save her.

All I could bring back were Her Highness'

belongings.

Her Highness...

This can't be true.

I don't want to believe it either.

But I saw it with my own eyes.

She chose to take

the enemy down with her?

Yes.

There's another thing.

When I arrived,

I heard the head of the enemy shout out

"Water Freezing Technique".

I speculate

that the calamity that has befallen our realm

might be...

Do not

speculate further on this matter.

Li

Fought and fell for our realm.

She protected us.

She spared us

from suffering

for a thousand years.

Her bravery

should be known to all.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Yes, Your Majesty.

General Shang Bei,

you are a witness of the battle in the Eastern Sea.

Please make a trip to the Immortal Realm.

Li.

Li.

Li.

Li.

Li.

You've been dutifully coming to greet Grandfather these days.

You're acting so obediently. Are you up to something mischievous again?

What mischief could I be up to?

We haven't heard anything about

the problem in the Spiritual Realm having been resolved.

I come here every day just to wait for some news.

You're concerned about the Spiritual Realm?

Could it be because you've fallen in love with Shen Li?

I've come to terms with it.

Since I can't avoid the marriage alliance,

I might as well fulfill my duty.

I've made it clear to her, we'll be like friends.

- We will be married, but we'll each mind our own business. - Nonsense!

- General Shang Bei. - I'd like to request an audience.

- It's General Shang Bei. - Please wait here.

No need for formalities.

What brings a general of the Spiritual Realm here?

Have you found any clues about the last attack?

The culprit

has been eliminated.

I knew it. Shen Li is so powerful. She took care of it right away.

Then, how is Lord Bi Cang doing?

I am here

on orders to meet Heavenly Lord.

I shouldn't delay further.

Farewell.

Why is he dressed in all white?

Could it be that Shen Li

has suffered serious injury again?

Thank you for the medicine, Heavenly Lord.

Her Majesty has regained consciousness.

The perpetrators that attacked the Immortal Realm and our realm

have been...

eliminated by Lord Bi Cang of our realm.

Her Majesty specifically sent me to report this,

hoping it would put your mind at ease, Heavenly Lord.

Wonderful news. Excellent.

Lord Bi Cang's abilities amaze me.

Where is she now?

I shall reward her generously

for her contribution to the battle.

Thank you for your generosity, Heavenly Lord,

but

it's unnecessary.

Her Highness

has fallen in the battle in the Eastern Sea.

Fallen?

What brings you here, Divine Lord?

Who were

you talking about?

Shen Li, Lord Bi Cang of the Spiritual Realm,

fell in battle

in the Eastern Sea yesterday.

That's absurd.

How could such news

be reported without verification?

Divine Lord, for communications between our two realms,

reports are never made without verification.

If it's false,

I am willing

to accept the punishment of getting struck by lightning.

Do not swear in front of a god.

It may come true.

Divine Lord, you don't understand,

but I'd rather

bear the punishment than accept this news.

Where is her body?

Her Highness took the enemy down with her

in the Eastern Sea.

Her body vanished in the sea.

We couldn't find her.

- Divine Lord... - Where in the Eastern Sea?

The sea is vast,

and the exact location is unknown.

No one knows

where Her Highness is.

When I was in Sky's Beyond yesterday,

I sensed a disturbance in the flow of energy.

There must be turmoil down there.

I intend to descend and investigate.

What do you think, Heavenly Lord?

You decide.

Divine Lord, your concern for the world is appreciated.

Please take care of yourself.

When I was at the Eastern Sea,

I heard the enemy say the magic they used

was the Water Freezing Technique.

Divine Lord Xing Zhi

is the only one in the world

who possesses this technique.

The Water Freezing Technique?

Where did they learn

the divine technique from?

Shen Li!

Shen Li!

Shen Li!

Shen Li!

Shen Li.

Shen Li...

Was that an illusion?
