San Lang?

Why is Lang Ying also here?

This place is...

the armory?

Get out of the way!

My apologies!

Sorry!

San Lang,

let me explain.

OK.

I'm listening.

I...

Wait,

isn't it the other way around?

He should be the one explaining, right?

Your Highness!

Be careful!

This incident of the missing heavenly official.

He's definitely involved in it!

San Lang,

although I don't know what misunderstanding you have with Earth Master,

let's stay calm and talk it out first.

Earth Master?

Who's the Earth Master?

You mean the one that Wind Master carries on his back?

Just one of my incompetent subordinates.

What?

He's clearly a heavenly official from the Heavenly Court.

Why are you deliberately misinterpreting things.

Oh?

Then I wonder, why did the esteemed heavenly officials of the Heavenly Court...

hide his identity and condescend

to become a ghost messenger in my realm?

If that person is truly Earth Master,

he's been quite patient.

A decade-long act.

In these ten years, although I occasionally felt something was amiss,

I didn't have solid evidence.

If I hadn't bumped into him

and Wind Master together at the Ban Yue Pass.

I wouldn't have been completely sure.

So that's how it is...

During the journey at the Ban Yue Pass,

even though Earth Master was influenced by Wind Master's instigation and turned into a female form,

San Lang saw through it with just one glance.

And he confirmed that Earth Master is one of the Five heavenly officials of the Heavenly Court.

But she is a famous figure too,

as one of the five masters of Wind, Water, Rain, Earth and Thunder.

Don't make an enemy of her.

It seems that San Lang left without a word back

then

because he was anxious to go back and settle the score with him.

The heavenly official in the Heavenly Court don't do his job properly.

Instead, he comes to the ghost realm undercover for decades.

It's truly a scandal.

However,

we can't let Earth Master continue to stay here

and let the situation worsen.

I understand the situation now.

The blame

is on us.

But, San Lang,

I hope you can show some leniency today.

Your Highness,

there are some things

you'd better not get too involved in.

Hey!

Blow,

wind!

Wind Master,

we haven't even started yet!

It seems like

none of you will take the initiative,

so let me be the villain!

Well,

what a coincidence.

I have a fan

too!

Wind Master,

please hold on!

I want to as well!

But...

If we stop now, all our previous efforts will be wasted!

My apologies, Wind Master.

I couldn't resist following along!

Qianqiu, your timing is perfect this time!

This sword...

Could it be the heavy sword forged from the mysterious stone

obtained from the heart of the Magnetic Mountain?

With a single thought,

it can absorb all the metallic weapons of others

in its vicinity!

Until they melt and get absorbed!

The esteemed heavenly officials of the Heavenly Realm are really desperate,

unwilling to let go of even a piece of gold?

Oh no,

if Prince Taihua strikes with this sword...

Qianqiu,

don't take it head-on!

What's going on?

Wind Master,

let the wind rise and carry us up!

Oh no!

He is catching up!

Wind Master, please stop using the fan!

It's going to burn out!

Okay, okay,

I won't use it anymore!

Your Highness, please let go of me!

Your grip is too strong!

Oh my god!

It's on fire!

Help!

It's burning!

I...

just wanted to start a small fire

and buy some time...

How did it turn out like this.

I'm sorry, Your Highness!

It was supposed to be just a small fire.

It's my fault.

If Crimson Rain Sought Flower goes after you for compensation,

you can blame it all on me!

It's not about the money.

Don't worry!

I'll compensate no matter how much!

I'm not afraid of anything, even if I'm broke.

Your Highness!

What happened to your hand?

Could it be that white light just now?

Was it you?

It's nothing,

just a small injury.

I'll be fine once we get up there.

It was too intense.

If it weren't for Your Highness's one-handed defense...

Qianqiu might have been chopped into pieces by Crimson Rain Sought Flower.

Qianqiu?

Qianqiu?

What's wrong?

Your eyes are still blinded, even now？

Lang Ying,

there's no one in the side hall.

You go there and wait for me first.

Excuse me, which heavenly official is here?

Hurry and come to the Hall of Shen Wu!

A heavenly official has been injured!

Oh no,

it's two heavenly officials!

Ten thousand merits!

This is urgent,

we need people to come quickly!

Wind Master,

there's no need to distribute merits.

Speak nicely,

and everyone will naturally come.

Your Highness,

this is where you are misinformed.

Distributing merits is a hundred times faster than speaking nicely!

Who

got injured?

What happened to your right hand?

Well...

So what if you're injured?

With so many heavenly officials in the Heavenly Court,

who hasn't gotten injured during their patrols?

Wind Master,

what happened?

So, this injured person...

is the Earth Master, right?

I was wondering what it meant for the Wind Master to distribute merits.

It turns out it's for the Earth Master.

The Earth Master is like a phantom, never seen but always heard of.

This is my first time seeing him.

But what exactly happened for them

to be so heavily injured.

It's no big deal.

It'll get better on its own.

Be more careful from now on.

Thank you.

Your Highness Taihua,

what happened to you?

Did Prince Taihua get injured somewhere too?

I don't think so.

Let me check.

Prince Taihua,

what are you doing?

Prince Tai...

Imperial Preceptor.

I clearly killed you with my own hands,

sealed you in the triple coffin,

and suppressed you in the earth.

Imperial Preceptor,

you truly have great powers!

Imperial Preceptor?

Who's the Imperial Preceptor?

Prince Taihua is the Crown Prince of Yong An Kingdom,

then the Imperial Preceptor of Yong An Kingdom is...

So, isn't he one of the twin teachers of the taoists, the Imperial Preceptor Fangxin?

Huh?

But what happened?

How could the Prince of Xianle become the the Imperial Preceptor of Yong An Kingdom?

Exactly,

Xianle was destroyed by Yong An!

Wait, wait,

I'm getting more and more confused!

Ling Wen!

Just in time!

Explain it to us quickly!

The Imperial Preceptor Fangxin,

because of the bloodbath at the Golden Feast in Yong An Imperial Family,

was included as one of the two evil taoists,

which was extremely brutal.

But,

in fact, he was the savior and mentor of Yong An Kingdom's Crown Prince, Lang Qianqiu.

Golden Feast?

Exactly.

Wind Master,

this Golden Feast originally started as a banquet among the nobles of Xianle.

The utensils used at the feast are all exquisitely crafted golden wares,

extremely luxurious,

hence the name.

After the founding of Yong An Kingdom,

the extravagant atmosphere of the previous dynasty resurfaced,

and the Golden Feast became a royal regulation once again.

At that time, in celebration of the 17th birthday of the Yong An Crown Prince,

a grand Golden Feast was held in the imperial palace.

And the Imperial Preceptor of Yong An Kingdom...

It was during this Golden Feast that he brandished a sword

and killed all the members of the Yong An royal family present.

Only the belated Yong An Crown Prince, Lang Qianqiu,

managed to escape.

You once said that

you couldn't stand seeing us in that position,

but I never once doubted you.

It's only now that

I finally understand why you did what you did.

This...

Qianqiu,

if the Imperial Preceptor of Yong An Kingdom is his royal highness,

how could you only recognize it now?

Qingxuan.

Legend has it that the Imperial Preceptor Fangxin has always been aloof and mysterious,

wearing a silver mask

and never revealing his true face.

I suppose Prince Taihua has never seen his true face before.

Since no one has seen what the Imperial Preceptor Fangxin looks like...

General Pei,

how can you be so sure about it?

Xianle Kingdom was destroyed,

so he also destroyed Yong An Kingdom.

That's revenge!

Isn't it revenge?

The people of Yong An killed his parents,

so he wants to kill the parents of the Yong An Crown Prince in return,

an eye for an eye,

a tooth for a tooth.

But it wasn't Lang Qianqiu's generation that destroyed Xianle,

so his anger seems unjustified.

I thought he was born foolish and a laughingstock of the Three Realms,

but I never expected him to be such a cunning character.

Impressive!

Your Majesty.

It's nothing serious.

Take the Earth Master down first

and take care of him.

Yes,

Your Majesty.

Speak up then,

what's going on again.

Why is Taihua holding onto Xianle,

and why is Xianle bowing its head?

Your Majesty,

this person was once known as the Imperial Preceptor Fangxin hundreds of years ago.

He killed my relatives

and brought disaster to my country!

I want to duel with him.

Your Majesty, please bear witness today!

Taihua,

what evidence do you have to firmly believe

that Xianle is Fangxin?

When I was twelve years old,

I was once captured by a group of bandits.

Step off!

Your Highness!

Let go of the Prince!

Oh no!

Run!

Qianqiu!

At that time,

he did the same,

deflecting the attacks of both sides

and saving me.

After that, the Imperial Preceptor Fangxin taught me swordsmanship for several years.

Although

during my encounter with the Crimson Rain Sought Flower in this fight,

I only caught a glimpse of faint afterimages.

But once he made a move,

I wouldn't mistake it for anyone else!

Prince Taihua,

besides you, no one else saw these afterimages.

So, isn't it just your word against his?

Fine!

Fetch a sword, if you would!

Here you go!

Let's go all out and have a full-on sword fight right now.

Let's see if our swordsmanship aligns,

and if I'm the one you taught!

Uh...

isn't it inappropriate to have a sword fight in the Hall of Shen Wu?

However, his Royal Highness, the Crown Prince,

and his entire family were tragically murdered.

Yeah,

if he doesn't avenge this,

how can he swallow his pride?

Qianqiu,

His highness just defended you against an attack from Hua Cheng.

His right hand is severely injured!

How can he compete with you in a sword fight?

What are you doing?

Wind master is right.

You injured your arm while saving me.

I'll give you back your arm now.

But...

saving me is one thing,

killing my family is another!

Come on!

I know you can wield a sword with both hands,

and both are equally skillful.

Let's compare using our left hands.

Pick up the sword if you are a real man!

I made a vow many years ago

never to kill with a sword again.

I think there may be some misunderstanding here.

Since the Imperial Preceptor Fangxin has always worn a mask,

who's to say someone didn't impersonate him to cause harm?

What do you think,

Your Majesty?

Xianle.

Yes.

Do you acknowledge

what Taihua said?

I do.

The Imperial Preceptor Fangxin who bloodied the Golden Feast,

is it really you?

That's right.

It's me!
