What brewing liquor?

You know nothing.

This is not liquor. It's a celestial wine from Heaven.

I've traveled everywhere for cultivation.

I'm by myself, without any baggage.

What I enjoy is drinking.

I've drunk all the best wines in the world, but have gradually found them tasteless.

Therefore, I decided

to make my own wine.

Monk, meeting someone is fated.

Since we are connected by fate, can you share some with us?

We'd like to try it.

I'm not being stingy, but

you don't have the luck to enjoy this kind of celestial wine.

It is not an ordinary wine. Even one sip

will make you so drunk and pass out.

Stop wasting time. Let's get going.

I think this man looks a little familiar.

Monk, have we met somewhere?

I've been everywhere.

The places I've been and the people I've met are innumerable.

Perhaps you and I have really met somewhere.

Monk, in that case, why don't you allow me to take off your mask

- to see you true face? - Impudent!

You would dare to take off my mask?

It seems this celestial wine is all for me to drink.

Monk, I guess we really don't have the luck to enjoy it.

Goodbye, Monk.

Goddess, let's get on the road.

Too bad, too bad. The celestial wine is good,

but there is no one to drink with me.

It really is less fun.

If the Face Changing Elixir loses its effect, it will be trouble.

Good. I haven't wasted three years.

I didn't realize this celestial wine has such an effect.

[ The Great Ruler ]

[ Episode 9 ]

Monk, what's in your hand?

Come. Strike me with your sabre.

No need to ask more. Go ahead and strike.

I didn't know that after drinking this celestial wine,

the spirit energy will greatly increase,

and the blade and sword cannot penetrate.

Chief, the monk just said he would share a drink with us.

Please agree.

Chief.

Meeting you is quite an honor.

I have fulfilled my wish, so I'll leave first.

Wait!

Monk, you just said you were willing to share the wine with us.

Benefactor, weren't you unwilling to accept it?

I just changed my mind.

- Monk, are you still willing to share? - Why not.

Benefactor.

Drinking a little slowly, and leave me some of it.

This wine is so fragrant.

Goddess, have a sip.

Monk, this celestial wine is really delicious.

But, my spirit energy

hasn't increased yet, while my feet are feeling heavy.

Monk, this . . .

Monk, you . . .

I told you already that this wine isn't for ordinary people like you.

I knew it was you.

Why did you come?

Why did you lie to me?

Are you really going to marry this Xie Lingzi?

Yes, I will marry him. I must marry him.

I won't go back with you.

You're mistaken. I'm not here to rescue you.

I put Truth Telling Elixir in the wine. It's an elixir refined by my dad.

What's important is that it will let people tell the truth.

It's very useful when you want to find information from a captured enemy.

- What's your name? - Xie Shi.

Why did you come to Bei Ling Prairie?

I came by my lord's command

to bring Goddess back for her wedding.

Are the Luo Sheng Tribe and Xue Sheng Tribe at war with each other?

- Yes. - Did your Chief of Tribe promise that once Luo Li marries him,

he will stop the war and never invade the Luo Sheng Tribe again?

- Yes. - Does he abide by his promise?

Of course not.

What will he do?

Our lord said that

once the wedding is done,

we'll destroy the Luo Sheng Tribe.

You heard it yourself. Are you still going to go with them?

Luo LI, it's stupid to sacrifice without meaning.

I believe that your grandfather wouldn't want to see you

to sacrifice yourself for nothing.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have sent you here to Bei Ling Prairie.

Come back with me, okay?

I can't go. Xie Shi has blocked all my veins to access my spirit energy.

Right now, I'm just like any ordinary person.

I won't be able to escape.

Luo Li, are you willing to marry Xue Lingzi?

I won't let you do something that you're not willing to do.

If you don't want to marry, then I definitely won't let that happen.

- What are you doing? - You can't run fast right now.

But I can.

Give it to me.

Yes.

Young Lord.

Time to eat.

Do you want me to eat it for you?

Qian 'er, how'd you get here?

Don't you want to see me?

Oh, yeah. Why did your father lock you up?

Longyuan Lagoon is a trap.

My father's real motive is to attack the Herds Land.

What?

Then what are we going to do?

Faceless Daoist has left with my father already. What we can do now

is to notify Uncle Mu immediately. We can't delay.

Then I'll go with you.

Young Lord.

Move aside. I'm going to the Transfer Formation.

Young Lord. Your father said that without his order.

no one can use the Transfer Formation.

I am the Young Lord. When my father is not around,

then my word is what counts.

If you won't listen, then when my father comes back,

I can execute you right now.

Idiot.

Despicable.

Useless.

Hurry.

- Chase after them. - Yes.

Is Uncle Mu at home?

Are you Young Lord Liu and Miss Tang?

Are you looking for our Lord? They already left yesterday with a group of men.

Oh, no. We're too late.

- Where's Mu Chen? - The young lord and my lord were supposed to leave together.

But for whatever reason, he went east.

- He's already left for a few days. - Hurry and give me paper and writing brush.

Yes.

You must give this to Mu Chen when he gets back. Do not waste anytime.

Don't worry.

Mubai, what do we do next?

I'm going to Longyuan Lagoon to remind Uncle Mu.

It may be too late even rushing from here.

I can use the Transfer Formation to go to Tang Land.

Tang Land is the closest to Longyuan Lagoon. I hope I can catch up.

I will go with you. I can ask my dad for help when I go back.

I want you to go to Bei Ling Academy

to notify Teacher Mo and the others to send us reinforcements.

Once the reinforcements catch up, you can come to Longyuan Lagoon.

I can't but worry about you going by yourself.

If you are worrying about me, then hurry to bring Teacher Mo and the others

so that Uncle Mu and I will be safe.

I will hurry.

Let's go.

Mubai!

Promise me. If things can't be reversed, don't die for nothing.

Mu Chen, let me down.

Luo Li, what is it? Are you ok?

I'm fine.

Idiot. She doesn't want you to carry her.

She wants to force her energy flow

to break through the locks.

Luo Li, I will take you away from here.

I won't let you get captured by them.

I think maybe not.

I knew that voice sounded familiar.

- So it's really Herds Land's Young Lord Mu. - It's me.

How about it? Was the custom wine I made for you delicious?

- Luo Li. - Luo Li, you are forcing energy flow to open the spirit veins. Aren't you afraid your body won't withstand it?

Quit your nonsense. Go ahead and fight.

Luo Li, you are going back on your promise.

Don't you fear that our great army will destroy the Luo Sheng Tribe?

Even if I were to go with you,

are you going to let off the Luo Sheng Tribe?

I won't be tricked again.

Mu Chen, I already advised you not to do this.

Look at it now. I have to finish it up again.

Mu Chen. Mu Chen!

Xue Shi, you won't take away Luo Li today!

If you want to die, I'll help you.

Fine, we'll meet again.

Tell your lord not to harrass Luo Li again.

Let's go.

Mu Chen!

Wait.

I will meet up with Brother Liu first. You can wait here.

My lord.

Don't worry. It'll be fine.

The three of you, protect our Lord.

Let's go!

The Willow army should be here already.

Why isn't there any sign of them?

Reporting!

My Lord, we've fallen into a trap.

General Zhou Ye is fighting with the enemies now.

Such a boisterous scene.

Mu Feng, Herds Land isn't supposed to be guarding the Longyuan Lagoon now.

guarding the Longyuan Lagoon now.

What do you want to do?

You tell me.

Look, we are to the east of Herds City, slightly southward.

But Longyuan Lagoon is to the northwestern of Herds City.

If we go directly from here to the Longyuan Lagoon,

it will take two days.

My dad should have already left for the Longyuan Lagoon.

They might already be there.

We should rush directly back to Herds City. Go from there

to Tang Land using the Transfer Formation. And then from Tang Land, we'll rush to the Longyuan Lagoon.

It will only take one day.

Then let's go now to return to Herds City.

Next year this day will be your memorial.

I'll guard the back. You take the others away.

I must not. General Zhou Ye already told me.

We must keep you safe. We can't leave you alone by yourself.

Kill them! Don't leave a single person alive!

Uncle Mu.

Why are you here by yourself? Where's your father?

My father isn't here.

This was his and Faceless Daoist's plan.

He has conspired with the Dragon Tribe to eliminate the main forces of Herds Land.

And then capture Herds City.

Liu Mubai!

You really are an unfilial son.

I'll have to teach you a lesson on behalf of your father today.

Reinforcements are here!

Mubai, we're here to rescue you all.

Uncle Mu.

- Okay. - Mo Xingtian.

Fine. I'm outnumbered.

Young Lord, Master Liu and Miss Tang were here earlier.

- He wanted me to give you this. - Where are they?

Mu Chen, Longyuan Lagoon was a trap set by my father and Faceless Daoist.

They want to eliminate the main forces of Herds Land and then conquer Herds City. You must quickly set up defense.

I'm headed to Longyuan Lagoon to inform your father.

I hope to be able to stop this conspiracy. (signed) Li Mubai

What should we do now?

Right now who is in charge of the city's defense?

Shu Zhang.

How is it?

- Here.- Thank you.

Don't let him move around too much.

It's okay.

Thank you for coming to my aid.

The ones you should thank are these two youngsters.

This was something between Old Liu and me.

I didn't know Bei Ling Academy would be entangled in it.

Liu Qingtian conspired with Dragon Tribe to invade the northern realm.

Mu Feng, this is a lot more serious than

a simple dispute between Herds Land and Willow Land.

Mubai. Your father is his own person.

And you are you. You know right and wrong.

Saving Mu Feng is what a righteous person does.

Young Lord Liu, I'm very grateful.

It's what I'm supposed to do.

Uncle Mu, the situation at Herds City is urgent. We must go help right away.

Herds City? What's wrong?

I'm afraid that my father has already led his army to camp right outside Herds City.

Brother Mo, there are many of us.

If we go in one group, we'll be easily spotted.

How's about this? We'll split into two groups and flank Mu City.

- Okay. - That's exactly what I was thinking.

Subordinate Shu Zhang greets Young Lord.

- General Shu, how many troops do we have in Mu City? - About 3,000.

How many can use spirit energy well?

Less than 200. The strongest ones left with Lord Mu.

Not enough. Not enough at all.

Young Lord, may I ask what's happened?

It's not enough to counter Willow Land.

Willow Land?

Aren't we in alliance with Willow Land?

Willow Land has betrayed us. They have assembled their forces, and

In a few hours, they'll be attaching Mu City.

Willow Land's army is coming with an overwhelming force. We are really too weak to overcome them.

General Shu, please immediately open the Transfer Formation and escort the civilians to evacuate.

Yes! I will immediately dispatch people to gather the civilians.

I will immediately dispatch people to gather the civilians.

Young Lord, can do we defend the city then?

Take the villagers out of here.

Young Lord, I am a soldier of the Herds Land.

I can't just run off. I want to live and die with Herds City.

General Shu! If the city is lost, you can still fight to reclaim it.

If the people die, then there's nothing else.

We are at an extreme disadvantage right now. There's no need to fight needlessly.

Defend the city really means defending the safety of the people.

I obey your command, Young Lord.

Go on.

Yes.

Luo Li, I'm sorry.

Originally, I wanted to help you.

Who knew that I've brought you into a situation like this.

Is there anything I can help with?

Follow me.

Mu Chen, what does the formation drawing that you want look like?

I've never seen it.

It should be very old looking. I'm looking for the Grand Defense Formation of Herds Land.

The last time it was activated,

I wasn't even born yet.

Mu Chen!

[Herds Land Grand Defense Formation]

This is it.

Let's go.

Mu Chen, what kind of spirit formation is this Grand Defense Formation?

When there isn't enough people,

the scale of people-controlled spirit formations have limited power.

To activate a spirit formation that can safeguard an entire city,

it has to be embedded into the city when the city was established.

It's here.

The spirit formation isn't activated in regular times.

But, at a crucial time, once spirit energy is infused into specific spots,

the entire city will become a giant formation.

This is the Grand Defense Formation.

But, Mu Chen, aren't we evacuating?

To activate the defense formation now...

What are you planning to do?

We are evacuating, but we can't let Willow Land easily take over Herds City, right?

We'll give them a little bit of trouble.

Young Lord, the villagers have been evacuated.

Okay.

Let's go.

Mother, will we be able to come back?

Of course. We will definitely be able to return.

Young Lord, you go first. I will stay . . .

General Shu, you leave first. I'll stay in the back.

to prevent chaos among the first evacuees.

Also, take good care of Young Madam.

Young Lord, don't worry. I will protect Young Madam.

Mu Chen, let's go.

You go first. I'll be right behind.

You have no intention of leaving.

You're planning to stay here alone.

If Liu Qingtian can easily take Herds City, then he will have time to search and capture people.

The evacuation of the civilians take time.

The longer that I can hold on here, the safer the people will be.

If you're going to stay behind, then I'll stay, too.

Luo Li!

When I wanted you to leave me be, you didn't.

Now, I won't let you stay by yourself.

Luo Li,

I'm sorry. I lied to you.

But I don't want you to be in any danger.

I'm entrusting all the people and soldiers to you.

Greetings, my Lord.

Everyone, how are the preparations?

The forces are all assembled.

As soon as Uncle issues the command, we will attack the city.

As long as we take over Mu City, Herds Land will lose its core.

It won't take long to conquer Herds Land.

Liu Yang, why do you look anxious today?

Uncle, ever since our army embarked, Young Lord has been missing.

He should be attending today's meeting, but why haven't we seen him?

but why haven't we seen him?

Everyone, regarding Mubai, I've made my own arrangements.

I worried too much then. Uncle, please forgive me.

I know that, with the pending war,

it hurts morale when the Young Lord isn't here in person to supervise the battles.

But, the top fighters in Herds Land have been diverted away.

There isn't a leader in Herds City.

It should be easy to conquer it.

My Lord, we shall conquer Herds City!

Okay.

Reporting!

Herds City's gate has suddenly opened.

Giving up on defending it?

My Lord, what will you do?

To be cautious, send one team in to explore first.

Uncle, I want to go in.

Herds Land conspired with the Dragon Tribe to kill my father. I want to destroy Herds Land to avenge my father.

The battlefield is dangerous.

If anything happens to you, then how will your mother get by?

To avenge my father is also a wish of my mother's.

- Uncle, please allow me to go. - You

Lord Liu, Young Master Liu Yang is filial.

Why don't you agree and allow him?

- Liu Yan, listen to my command. - Yes.

Mu Chen!

I didn't know I would meet an old acquaintance.

Mu Feng killed my father so I'll kill his son!

Mu Chen,

He wants to hold back Willow Land's army on his own.

Young Madam, where are you going?

Young Madam?

Young Lord sent you out in order to safeguard you.

To go back means we all go back.

- Someone... - Wait!

General, listen to my command and protect the villagers.

There are many villagers that need the troops' protection.

- But we can't let Young Lord... - General,

General,

if you consider me the Young Madam, then stay here.

Yes.

Young Madam, we will fight back to Herds Land once we've settled the civilians,

- and to welcome Young Lord. - Okay.

My Lord, we were ambushed. All the troops are . . .

- Where's Liu Yang? - General Liu Yang...

Uncle, I'm sorry.

Don't blame yourself. How many people are in the city?

- I only saw Mu Chen. - Him alone?

You go and get some rest.

Yes.

It's impossible that they still have military forces inside the city, but just one person?

There must be a scheme.

- Guards! - My Lord.

Issue my order. Gather the War Formation masters to condense Dharma Consciousness.

Attack the city!

My Lord, there is only Mu Chen inside Herds City now.

Once Dharma Consciousness is condensed,

It won't take much time for you to conquer the city.

Mu City has only Mu Chen there, and we've already used Dharma Consciousness.

If Herds Land army hasn't been diverted, we really wouldn't be able to conquer it.

Herds Land has accumulated several decades of power.

I wonder how advanced it has become.

Even if Mu Feng has the ability to fly to Heaven,

his officers and soldiers are just ordinary people.

Besides, you have me to help you.

My Lord, you needn't worry.

Of course. Your power is evident.

With your assistance, we don't need to fear the army nor the people of Herds Land.

Jiu You... Jiu You! Jiu You!

What are you doing? You got me scared.

Willow Land's army is threatening attacks, why do you have the leisure to come inside?

- I have something to discuss with you. - You want me to help you?

Willow Land is using Dharma Consciousness to attack the city.The Grand Defense Formation probably can't last long.

I want to supply spirit energy to the Grand Defense Formation, but I don't have enough spirit energy.

- No. - Jiu You! Our veins are connected, and so we live and die together.

If you don't help me, you'll be hurt if something happens to me.

Why should I help you? Don't always threaten me with the connected veins.

Why didn't you run?

- I can't run off. -Others can run off. Why can't you?

Just by yourself, how can you guard the entire Grand Defense Formation?

If I don't try, how would I know?

Wait for me.

- Reporting! My Lord.

We haven't been able to break through Mu City's forcefield.

Send my order. Increase the transmission of spirit energy to break through the city's defensive formation.

Yes!

- What happens? - I won't die.

Who's there?

- Greetings, Lord Mu. - General Shu, why are you here?

After Young Lord sent us and the civilians out of the Herds City, I've been trying to return to the city.

But Liu Qingtian has tightly surrounded the city.

We tried several times but never could get through.

Except for Young Madam. She is highly skilled and has been able to get in.

- Young Madam? - Miss Luo Li.

How's Chen 'er?

Young Lord sent us out of the city. He's there by himself.

He's alone?

Oh no. With Chen's personality, he will fight until he dies.

- Let's go back using the Transfer Formation. - No.

We've tried in the last few days, but the Transfer Formation has been shut down.

Uncle Mu.

Leave it to me to return to the city.

Uncle Mu, how about we hurry up and enter the city tonight to rescue Mu Chen?

and enter the city tonight to rescue Mu Chen?

No.

At night, the Formation Master needs to rest and adjust.

The entire army is on high alert now.

If our movement is detected, it will be more trouble.

That's right. After sunrise tomorrow, it will be the time for war.

At that time, their guards will be relaxed.

it will be a good time to sneak through.

- General Shu. - My Lord.

Let's do this. Tomorrow, when we sneak in,

Liu Qingtian will definitely entangle us in fighting.

You use this chance to ambush attack to capture their leader.

Give me the map.

Look.

I really don't understand it.

Why are you guarding an empty city with your life?

It's for the people. Herds City is the gate to Herds Land. If it's lost,

Herds Land will be lost. So I have to safeguard this city by any means.

When a city is lost, you can still fight later to reclaim it. If you lose your life, then you've nothing left.

You said that yourself. If it's for giving the people time, you've done that long enough.

Let's hurry and get out of here!

If Liu Qingtian conquers Herds City, he will use Herds City as base to quickly attack the other cities.

At that time, more cities will be taken and more people suffering from turmoil.

All that we can do now is to drag them down and wait for my dad bring reinforcements.

Wait for your dad? Will you still be alive then?

That rascal Liu Mubai said he will notify my dad, and he will definitely do it.

I'm sure he will stop this conspiracy.

My dad and the reinforcements will also get here in time.

Such an idiot!

Didn't you say you wouldn't help me?

Who wants to help you? I just don't want to die together with you.

Thank you, Jiu You.

Cut that out.

- Reporting! - Has Herds City been taken yet?

Originally we already destroyed the defensive formation,

Dharma Consciousness already broke through the shield, but suddenly a rush of purple spirit energy appeared

and repaired the defensive formation completely as new.

- Purple spirit energy? - What is it?

Purple spirit energy doesn't come from ordinary humans.

It seems that there are more than Mu Chen in Herds City.

What should we do then?

It's alright. Let the Dharma Consciousness masters continue the attack.

Daoist, you won't help?

This is the first battle that Willow Land fights in order to dominate Bei Ling area.

If I extend help, even if you win,

how will you be able to convince your people in the future?

Issue my command. Continue to attack the city. We must take it today!

Jiu You, are you alright?

Shut up. Don't distract me.

We've succeeded. Jiu You! Jiu You...

Jiu You! Jiu You!

Jiu You!
