[Episode 29]

Pipi...

Pipi, I'm going to Green Gorge as well.

Be good and stay at the monastery. Stop doing futile things.

The end of Tang has been decided.

I have to trouble Junior Uncle to take care of my junior brother.

I, Ye Qing, am leaving.

Teacher as you are in Heaven,

can you please keep the Tang Empire and the Academy safe.

First Senior Brother, Second Senior Brother, Third Senior Sister,

Tang Xiaotang, I miss you all.

The whole world is crusading against the Tang Empire and it's what people want.

If the Tang Empire decides to continue with this war, it will perish.

If the Tang Empire concedes, there is a chance of success.

Just wondering what plans did you have in mind, Emperor of Tang?

I will continue to battle on!

The Tang Empire will continue to battle on!

Empress Mother.

Very well done.

So, what should we do now?

Trust.

Trust who?

Trust the Tang Empire. Trust the Academy.

Trust the Tang Army.

And... trust your people.

Then, why is Empress Mother still so worried?

I just feel heartbroken.

Heartbroken for my innocent Tang citizens.

Don't worry, Empress Mother! Once we have won the war,

I will definitely implement benevolent governance.

Reduce the taxes and hard labor, let the people take a break and recuperate.

I will not let the Tang people suffer any hardship again.

In that case, you are a good ruler for the Tang Empire.

Where did Thirteenth Teacher go, Empress Mother?

I need to discuss things with him.

Thirteenth Teacher returned home to take a look.

Your Majesty, these are good snacks tributed by Bestore.

These walnuts were all meticulously hand-picked.

Your Majesty, you should have more. You are tired today and should nourish your health.

- You can go now. - Yes, My Lady.

Sit down, Little Sixer.

There is still some time before dinner.

Mother will open some pinenuts for you.

Empress Mother, I remember that Emperor Father

used to open pinenuts for you all the time.

Empress Mother, you have me from now on.

♫ What have light are my eyes in the dark ♫

♫ Victories and defeats wrap around me ♫

♫ They intertwine and twist into a rope ♫

♫ There is my soul feeding a deep river of desires ♫

Thank you.

Thank you.

♫ Have me then don't have anyone else ♫

♫ I have won and lost, but why am I doing this? ♫

♫ Peach blossoms have bloomed ♫

♫ My heart doesn't stay with the guests ♫

♫ The evil night quickly runs away to cover up its squanders ♫

♫ And becomes a wreck wandering in the world ♫

♫ I have been in death and life situations. I haven't given up on fighting ♫

♫ Just let me live this life with no regrets ♫

Teacher, glad to see you.

♫ Let the darkness be my witness ♫

♫ No matter who talks about whether I'm a human or a demon, ♫

♫ Death and life have ups and downs so I only live in order to fight ♫

♫ Just let this fear becomes the devil inside ♫

♫ No one occupies my heart ♫

♫ I don't make promises for anyone ♫

♫ Let me die or live in this danger spot myself ♫

♫ Have me then don't have anyone else ♫

♫ I have won and lost, but why am I doing this? ♫

♫ Peach blossoms have bloomed ♫

♫ My heart doesn't stay with the guests ♫

♫ The evil night quickly runs away to cover up its squanders ♫

♫ And becomes a wreck wandering in the world ♫

♫ Death and life have ups and downs so I only live in order to fight ♫

♫ Just let this fear becomes the devil inside ♫

Little Junior Brother!

♫ No one occupies my heart ♫

♫ I don't make promises for anyone ♫

Ning Que is glad to meet Third Senior Sister,

Fifth Senior Brother, and Eighth Senior Brother

♫ Let me die or live in this danger spot myself ♫

Come, quickly get up.

Have not seen you in a long time, yet you are still in good health.

Remember to come and play Go with us.

Play Go? Forget about that.

It's good that you are back. We all missed you.

Where is First Senior Brother?

Does he know that I've returned to the Tang Empire?

He wouldn't still be searching for me all over the world, would he?

Oh right! Where is Pipi?

Pipi went back to the Monastery of Knowledge and Obeisance.

- What about Second Senior Brother? - Second Senior Brother went to the Green Gorge.

What about Fourth Senior Brother, Sixth Senior Brother, Ninth Senior Brother,

Seventh Senior Sister, and Eleventh Senior Brother?

They went to protect the land of the Tang Empire.

I knew that they wouldn't sit and watch.

But these people have never left Tang Academy before.

If you returned a little earlier, you may have seen them.

I also wanted to return earlier.

But I really couldn't spare the time.

I heard that you are treasured by the new Emperor of Tang. This is good.

We are relying on you to protect the capital.

Other than visiting you all, I actually returned this time

for something more important.

I need to get the Formation Eye Pestle back.

Follow me.

Ning Que, there is something wrong with the Formation Eye Pestle.

What is wrong?

When the late emperor gave the Formation Eye Pestle to the academy for safekeeping,

we found out that there were a few cracks on the Formation Eye Pestle.

And those cracks are getting bigger and bigger.

It means that the God Startled Formation has likely been damaged also.

The big battle is coming. We need to think of ways to repair the God Startled Formation as soon as possible.

This is the last defense of the Tang Empire.

But before Teacher left, he didn't teach me how to repair the God Startled Formation.

Teacher and Great Expert Yan Se picked you to be the guardian of the God Startled Formation.

They surely had their reasons.

You don't have to worry too much.

This is a picture drawn by First Senior Brother.

Maybe it can help repair the God Startled Formation.

Your Majesty.

Since the battle at Capital Cheng,

the borders of our Tang Empire are all severely hit.

At the western border, Suspended Temple has sent cultivators like Qi Nian.

The situation of the western border is hanging on by a thread.

On the southern border, the army from Xiling will arrive at the Green Gorge really soon.

Among them, other than the Grand Priest of Justice, Ye Hongyu,

is the Sword Sage from Southern Jin Sword Pavilion, the strongest cultivator in the world, Liu Bai.

Silence!

If any of the ministers have opinions, they can talk about it later.

Do not make loud remarks at this time.

Minister Zeng, please continue.

On the northeastern border, Chao Xiaoshu led the army from the Brave Knights Camp

to form a volunteer corps among the citizens.

They use the technique of attacking and harassing to slow down the marching speed of our enemies.

They are fighting for more time for the defense of our capital.

My ministers, do you have any opinions or suggestions?

Your Majesty, I think that armies from our country

are all prepared.

But it's a pity that somebody is not participating.

They always close their doors and refuse to show their attitude.

Are you talking about Tang Academy?

I am indeed talking about Tang Academy!

Since Thirteenth Teacher is here,

tell everybody the plan of Tang Academy

to assure the people.

Greetings, Your Majesty and Empress Dowager.

Tang Academy has its own ideas.

You only need to know one thing.

The Academy belongs to the Tang Empire.

The Academy deems defending the Tang Empire as its responsibility.

We will never just sit and watch.

The more will we not flee out of fear.

I have something important to discuss with Your Majesty.

- Court adjourned. - Court adjourned!

Long live our emperor!

Be careful, Your Majesty.

Your Majesty, this is the map of the capital.

What's wrong with it?

Is there something wrong with the God Startled Formation?

Empress Mother, look.

The places marked on the map match with the changes in the God Startled Formation.

This map... was it drawn by somebody from Tang Academy?

The whole of the Tang Empire is suspecting the Academy.

But they don't know what Tang Academy has done for the Tang Empire covertly.

There were cracks on the Formation Eye Pestle.

And something was wrong with the God Startled Formation.

First Senior Brother didn't sleep or rest for more than 10 days,

going through every corner and every place in the whole city

to find places with strange heavenly and earthly nascent energy.

He drew the map himself, wrote notes on it,

and provided a workable plan to solve it.

But First Senior Brother's plan

can only postpone the declining of the God Startled Formation.

It can't solve the fundamental problem.

In order to repair the God Startled Formation,

we need to find the reason that caused the issues as soon as possible.

Did He Mingchi do something?

Maybe.

But looking at the level of damage of the God Startled Formation,

it doesn't seem to be something that He Mingchi is capable of.

Empress Mother, if there is something wrong with the God Startled Formation,

the capital is not safe anymore.

Empress Mother, you should hide on the back hill of the Tang Academy for some time.

When the God Startled Formation is repaired, I will bring you home.

There is no need. I want to be with you.

We will guard this place together.

But I'm worried about the dirty tricks of the Shrine.

You can't guard against those.

Since they are dirty tricks,

then we don't need to be on guard.

Also, we have Thirteenth Teacher.

And the Tang Academy.

Empress Mother, you are right.

As long as Tang Academy is here, the capital is a city that will not be broken.

Thirteenth Teacher, can you tell us

where the people of Tang Academy are now?

They all went to places where they are supposed to be.

Guarding the land of the Tang Empire.

I heard from Third Senior Sister that during the process of deciding whether to participate in the war or not,

some arguments happened.

This is the war to protect the Tang Empire.

It only concerns the Tang citizens.

I'm from the Tang Empire.

I'm from the Tang Empire, too.

I'm from the Tang Empire, too.

I'm from the Tang Empire, too.

This war has nothing to do with you all.

Go home. Go back to your own country.

I was born in the desert. I don't belong to any country.

I can only stay in Tang Academy.

If Senior Sister stays here, I will stay here, too.

Me too.

Although we are from the Song Empire, we want to be with Second Senior Brother.

That's right. We will stand by Second Senior Brother's side.

The Song Empire has already declared war against the Tang Empire.

After this meal, you two should go home as soon as possible.

Seventh Senior Sister, you were just born in the Tang Empire.

Your parents are from the Chen Empire.

The Chen Empire has declared war against the Tang Empire, too.

Shouldn't you also go home after this meal?

You...

I'm just worried about your family.

Seventh Junior Sister was thinking for your own good.

She is worried that you won't be able to go back home.

- Tang Academy is our home. - Tang Academy is our home.

I have something to ask. On the battlefield,

if you met the army from the Song Empire, what would you do?

We would do what Second Senior Brother would do.

That's right.

You two only sing and play. On the battlefield,

you would be facing the heavily armored Xiling Cavalry.

I think that

playing the flute and zither in the battlefield

would be interesting, too.

That's right.

I want to ask everybody. If Teacher were here,

what would he do?

I know.

Teacher isn't from the Tang Empire. He is from the Chen Empire.

That's right. Teacher is from our Chen Empire.

Teacher is from the Chen Empire!

Good. It's settled then.

Third, Fifth, and Eighth stay in the Tang Academy.

Fourth, Sixth, Seventh, Ninth,

Tenth, and Eleventh go with Jun Mo to guard the Green Gorge.

- Yes. - Yes.

First Senior Brother, you forgot one person.

Who?

Yourself.

I... like to fight alone.

Fine.

Now, we need to do something that's most important.

What is it?

Eat.

Time to eat!

Hurry up.

[Self-High Pot]

Hurry and eat.

The second day after they made the decision, they left.

Who is guarding the back hill of the Tang Academy now?

Third Senior Sister, Fifth Senior Brother, and Eighth Senior Brother.

Why are those three teachers still staying in the back hill?

Because they know that the Shrine Leader would try to take the Formation Eye Pestle from the back hill.

From the south, the big Xiling Army,

consisting of millions of soldiers and thousands of cultivators,

has gathered outside Green Gorge.

It takes the Southern Garrison and Northen Garrison seven days to get to the south.

Before that, only those seven persons, including Second Senior Brother,

will guard the back hill of the Green Gorge.

[Tang Academy]

Tang Academy has been sheltering the Tang Empire from danger for thousands of years.

Now, it has been forgotten by the capital.

What a sad thing!

[Tang Academy]

It's a pity that the beautiful scenes like these will not exist anymore.

Junior Brother, why are there people who always like to dream impossible things?

Senior Brother, not only that.

They are also ignorant and arrogant.

Junior Brother, how could an arrogant and ignorant person like that become the Shrine Leader of Xiling?

Senior Brother, there is nothing strange about that.

The standard of picking people in Xiling is arrogance and ignorance.

I want to see

who the arrogant and ignorant one is?

The Great Cloud and Mist Formation.

Disperse!

The Great Cloud and Mist Formation has been broken.

Discarding the game and combining two things.

It is a good method.

But if you two teachers thought that move would determine the victor,

you were being careless.

After all, 10 pieces are missing from this game of Go.

Also, even if all 13 teachers of the Tang Academy were here,

it would just cause me a slight delay.

The whole world is battling the Tang Empire.

You think my Xiling Shrine will truly believe that

the Tang Academy will just sit and watch?

I can even guess where they all went.

Even if there were 100,000,000 people in front of me, if I want to go then I will go.

First Teacher.

Qi Nian, you are not my match.

Are you really forcing me to kill you?

Jun Mo was right.

When fighting, you have to use the toughest object to hit the enemy's most vulnerable point.

To put your all into it and not let your heart be softened by compassion.

Your gate of life is at the top of your head.

Although within your body is not hurt,

you have no way to defend against my full-force attack.

Your gourd is also broken!

That is a pity but was worth it.

You are late, Monastery Leader.

I am just waiting to see whether or not First Teacher,

who was taught the way of tolerance by Fu Zi,

would kill someone. That is why I came out a little later.

Well, at least, I haven't disappointed you.

It was predictable that you would avoid killing.

What I didn't expect was

how much more stable you are in the

cultivation of the Freestyle Level than I am.

Teacher gave me the name of Li Manman (T/N: "Man" means slow)

so that I'd walk a little bit slower and more stable

on the road to cultivation.

Monastery Leader has been walking too fast these last few years.

Of course, you wouldn't be that stable either.

Legend has it that you bypassed the See-Through Level and went straight into the Knowing Destiny Level.

I am ust wondering, when did you reach the Freestyle Level?

This time was a little longer than normal.

I used three days.

The battle of the Freestyle Level.

I'm thinking that they will not be able to return.

All the arrangements that have been made so far

were just to induce changes in this Tang Empire chessboard.

Making the various Tang Academy disciples leave and risk their lives, unable to stand together,

resulting in this void we have in the capital now.

Because of that, I can finally come to this back hill

and claim the object that I must have.

What object did you want to take?

Formation Eye Pestle.

Using the Formation Eye Pestle to break the God Startled Formation, thereby exterminating the Tang Academy

and taking control of the capital. Thus, destroying the Tang Empire.

This is my Winning or Losing Hand. (T/N: A move used as an extreme measure at a critical juncture)

What do you two teachers

reckon?

Are you tired from traveling for so long?

I'm still considered young compared to you, Monastery Leader.

Are you not tired, Monastery Leader?

I travel faster than you.

Monastery Leader indeed travels very fast.

If I hadn't found this wooden stick, I really wouldn't have known how to proceed.

Even if you found the wooden stick that Fu Zi left,

you can only be sustained for seven days.

Sustaining for a day more is good enough.

Destiny has been set.

Why bother to fight it?

There is no such thing as destiny.

Nobody knows what will happen in seven days.

In seven days, Tang Academy will be no more.

Teacher went up to Heaven to do battle.

We, as his disciples, will not let that happen.

I never would have thought that Southern Jin Chess Genius, Teacher Song Qian,

would actually be on the Tang Academy's back hill cultivating.

I, with my junior brother, pay respect to Shrine Leader.

It's not like I don't have a name. Why do I have to be brought along by you?

Shrine Leader recognizes me but does not recognize you.

This means that the world recognizes that my chess skills are better than yours.

Using the way of chess to understand the mysteries of nature.

You two have indeed exceeded Lan Ke. It is just a pity,

that you both don't truly understand what real killing is.

The Tang Academy right now is just an empty shell.

There is no general or commander-in-chief.

With just two chess masters,

and maybe some additional beasts,

how could you keep me here?

Even if the two of you could trap me in that chessboard,

how long would that last?

Furthermore, how can beasts go against Heaven and become men?

Even as men, how could they go against Heaven?

The Tang Academy is sure to be exterminated

and the Tang Empire will fall with it.

For these thousands of years,

the dream that so many past sages of Daoism

failed to fulfill

will be fulfilled by me today.

And I... will soon become the greatest shrine leader

in the world of Light.

I and Eighth Junior Brother will be enough to entertain Shrine Leader.

There is no need to bother others.

You two teachers are careless.

It would be a pity if you lose your lives like this.
