Original subtitles

Mu Chen, I'm going to Luo Shen Tribe's sacred mountain.

I heard there is something that can substitute Jiu You's blood.

- I will go with you, then. - There's no need.

Only Luo Shen Tribe's people can go in.

- There won't be any danger. - Luo Li!

See you in three days. I'll be fine.

Luo Li!

Take care of yourself! Be careful!

Father.

What is it, Mubai?

Regarding Uncle Liu Zong's death, do you have any doubts about it?

I also grieve for his sudden death.

After Faceless Daoist arrived in Willow Land, Uncle died of a sudden illness.

Now, he has taken over Uncle's position, and even made us prepare for war.

Father, what exactly does he want?

I've already told you.

This is what I want to do.

- What do you want to do, then? - How brazen!

How dare you speak this way to your father?

I don't dare. Just that Faceless Daoist's origin is unknown.

We shouldn't trust him so easily.

Mubai, Faceless Daoist is loyal to me.

He is the best person to take over Liu Zong's position.

I think Uncle's death was not caused by illness.

I hope you will thoroughly investigate it.

If we mistakenly use a treacherous person, then Uncle's spirit in Heaven will...

Get out. Get out!

Young Lord is very smart.

It's truly like a tiger that has strong cubs.

Faceless Daoist,

he is not Liu Zong.

He is my own son. Are you going to hurt him?

As long as you and Young Lord obey what I say and do as I tell you,

you, father and son, will enjoy richness and power forever.

Answer my question!

That depends on what Young Lord plans to do.

- Don't you dare! - Of course I don't dare.

But if the Young Lord causes trouble in our plan, and the Supreme Black Dragon wants to know why...

However, you don't have to worry too much.

The Young Lord has a kind nature. This is a good thing.

With such nature, there is something perfect for him to do.

It will help us greatly.

[ The Great Ruler ]

[ Episode 8 ]

Jiu You. Jiu You!

Jiu You...

Jiu You, where are you?

What do you want?

Jiu You, I came to apologize to you. I was wrong last time.

I shouldn't have blamed everything on you.

So?

It's not that I don't want your help,

but I don't want to live under your protection for the rest of my life.

Do you understand?

I don't understand. What does that mean?

It means that I want to do the hunting myself.

I can't let you always give me the captured prey.

Okay. But, since our veins are connected, I have to say this:

if there is a life-or-death crisis, I won't wait.

I don't want to die with you.

Jiu You, back then, if you hadn't come to help me, I would have begged you to do so.

Enough, enough. It costed me a lot of spirit energy to help you.

I have to go back to sleep now.

You need to remember to cultivate well. We have an agreement.

Don't worry!

Thank you, Jiu You!

Father.

Mubai.

What's the matter, Father?

It's just a small injury. Nothing serious.

Mubai, you are really mistaken about Faceless Daoist.

Yesterday, when I heard about your suspicion regarding Liu Zong's death,

I also felt something was wrong.

As I was about to investigate, I ran into Mo Xingtian.

Mo Xingtian? Supreme Black Dragon's general, Mo Xingtian?

Yes. Mo Xingtian can fight really well.

Fortunately, Faceless Daoist came just in time and saved me.

But Mo Xingtian was also hit by me.

He also suffered a pretty bad injury.

I think he won't be staying around in Willow Land.

Mo Xingtian actually appeared in Willow Land?

Has our plan been leaked?

Mubai, send this letter to Mu Feng.

In the letter, it's all explained about the plan and about what happened.

We really must act now.

Yes, I understand.

Remember, be very careful. Don't let anyone find out.

My Lord, what a good performance!

You are so good at strategies.

Let's hope that Young Lord won't disappoint us.

Father!

- Where is Luo Li? - Luo Li said there is a substitute for Jiu You's blood.

She's going to check it out. She'll return in three days.

That's all she said?

Father, what is it?

My Lord, the Liu Family's Young Lord would like to see you, saying there is an urgent matter.

- Alright, let him in. - Yes.

Dad, I'll leave then.

Liu Mubai is looking for you. There must be something important.

Don't leave. The more serious the matter is, the more you should hear it.

You are not young anymore.

Sooner or later, I will entrust you Herds Land.

- Uncle Mu. - Don't be formal, Mubai.

You have something important to discuss with me?

Please read, Uncle.

Brother Mu, I will be arriving at the Longyuan Lagoon tomorrow, at 11:00 PM, to investigate.

I hope you will come and give me a hand. Liu Qingtian.

Okay.

Mubai, go back and tell Brother Liu

that I will abide to the agreement in the letter, and arrive at the Longyuan Lagoon on time.

Yes! I will leave first, then.

Liu Mubai, don't go yet. I have something to tell you.

My father told me not to linger around.

It will just take 15 minutes. Think of it as my dad invited you to a cup of tea.

Let's go!

Mu Chen is the one who finds fun things to do.

This story book is quite good.

Speak. What is it?

Let's talk inside.

- What is this about? - Mubai, I want to apologize to you.

That day, in the competition, I cheated.

Cheated?

How did you cheat?

Do you remember that bird egg from the top of the Jade Spirit Fruit Tree?

That's Jiu You Sparrow's egg.

Jiu You Sparrow is an immortal divine beast.

She broke out of shell that day.

Before she was totally transformed and before she evolved, she entered my body.

She completed her transformation inside my consciousness.

Right now, Jiu You is inside your body?

Mubai, I really was no match to you in that competition.

But, at the crucial moment, she took control of my consciousness.

Even though I retook my consciousness eventually, it was too late.

So you were unconscious when you depended on Jiu You's power to defeat me.

Exactly.

Mubai, that day during the competition, your fan broke.

This Seal Evil Fan took me a whole day and night to make.

Consider it as my token of apology.

Seal Evil Fan.

It's made of black gold, and embedded with spirit stones.

You used high heat to fuse black gold and spirit stones together?

The black gold... I had to steal that from my dad...

I borrowed it.

I used the Burning Fire Mantra to fuse black gold and spirit stones.

Then, I used the Instant Ice Mantra to quickly cool down the fan's surface.

This way, the fan has a strong extension, and won't be easily broken.

What is engraved on it?

I read through a lot of books for several days, to find inspiration.

I called it the Five Elements Formation.

Look, on the fan there is a large formation drawing, and four small formations drawings.

During a battle, depending on how the fan is waved, you can activate different spirit formations.

It will save your time from drawing the formations.

It's convenient.

I really like the fan.

Mu Chen, thank you.

I was narrow-minded about what happened previously.

Since you've accepted my fan, you must help me with something.

Sure, tell me.

I still haven't selected an attack mantra that is suitable to me.

Help me choose one.

There are tens of thousands of spirit mantras.

Everyone has a different nature and physique, so the suitable mantra is different for every person.

What I choose may not suit you.

Aren't you nicknamed the Number One Spirit Mantra at Bei Ling Academy?

Would you please help me?

Alright, I will try my best.

Converge the power of the five elements, include the hundred rivers of the world,

good fan, start!

Myriad Death Mark.

What is the Myriad Death Mark? Is it powerful?

It is a very dangerous and ruthless spirit mantra.

Previously, when someone practiced it, his meridians and veins broke, and he almost became a handicapped person.

No one practiced it anymore after that.

Mu Chen, since you want me to choose a spirit mantra for you, I have to bear responsibility for you.

- If something happens... - Mubai, do you remember what Teacher Mo said?

The more dangerous the mantra is, the more it tests the cultivator's nature and tolerance.

If I can't even overcome this danger, then I can never get stronger.

Do you believe in me?

I do.

Why am I hiding?

What is happening?

No, it's devouring you back.

Inject my spirit energy into your veins right away.

- What is happening? - Qian'er, don't come over.

If this mantra isn't managed well, it may spread to others.

Mubai, what are you doing?

The Myriad Death Mark spreads by blood flow.

I can only control it by using Blood Resistance Mantra.

Mubai!

- My spirit energy is running low. - I can help.

- Qian'er, attack me! - How can I do that?

If you don't do it, Mu Chen and I will both die here!

Mu Chen, are you okay?

I'm fine.

Mubai. Mubai...

Don't move.

We are lucky that you were here.

If I weren't here, both of you would have died.

I'm sorry.

I was too hasty

and made you exhaust so much spirit energy, and I got you wounded.

Mubai, let's adjust before you leave.

I'll have to.

Lord Liu, the Young Lord is about to return.

I wonder what you're planning?

I won't let anyone stop me.

Mubai is still a young boy.

Since he doesn't understand these things,

there's no need to bother him with the process involved.

Lord Liu, you are indeed someone who can achieve great accomplishments.

Guard!

My Lord.

When Young Lord returns, bring him to my study.

Remember, don't enter through the formal door.

Yes!

Mu Chen, you can look at this one.

It will help your cultivation a lot.

I know.

It's time. Hurry and go.

Go on!

Qian'er.

When are you planning to go back to the academy?

It may take a while.

So you've decided to ditch me at the academy by myself?

I can't take you there. It's too dangerous.

What is it that's so mysterious? Are you hiding it even from me?

Don't you have anything to tell me?

I do. A lot.

Then tell me.

What happened before was all my fault.

Why are you talking about this? I know you didn't do it on purpose.

Also...

I'm sorry.

What else?

Liu Mubai, come here.

I really can't stand it anymore. It should be simple.

- Just tell her that when things are done here, you will marry her. - Marriage is a big deal in life.

- Don't you want it? - Yes, of course I do.

That's it. Just do it this way.

Uncle, thank you for taking care of me for several days.

No need to be formal.

Mu Chen, thank you for the Seal Evil Fan.

Don't use the Myriad Death Mark casually.

You are still unfamiliar with it, and it can bring dangers.

I know, I know.

Remember what I told you before?

My father and I have something else to do. We'll leave first.

Qian'er.

Be careful on your journey back.

When this is finished,

I will go to Uncle Tang and discuss about the betrothal.

But... I want to go with you.

I want you to stay in Tang Land and wait for me.

Wait for me to come to marry you.

Hey, you...

Hey!

You...

You heard it?

I heard everything.

Liu Mubai was confessing to you just now.

Why were you acting like a dummy?

You had no reaction at all.

I...

I... I didn't know what to do.

You should at least know you can't stand there and do nothing.

He told me to wait for him in Tang Land.

When did you become so obedient?

If you want to chase after him, just go!

Okay!

Goddess, don't hesitate anymore. Come with me.

I'll go with you, but I have a condition.

What's the condition? Go ahead and say it.

You will not touch the Human Tribe again,

especially the Herds Land.

This is no problem at all. It...

There still is a small problem.

If Goddess doesn't mind,

will you let me seal a few of the crucial spots in your spirit veins?

I don't mean anything bad, I just worry that you might change your mind.

I wouldn't be able to explain when I go back.

I can agree to that.

However,

if I discover that you are hurting the Human Tribe,

even if I die,

I won't go back with you.

At that time, let's see how you'll explain to Xue Lingzi.

I wouldn't dare. Please come this way.

Black Dragon has occupied the Longyuan Lagoon for many years,

to secretly absorb spirit energy from all living things.

We don't know what he is scheming.

Within the Bei Ling area, all living things will wilt,

and people will die.

I, as the ruler of Herds Land,

have the responsibility and the necessity

to stop all this from happening.

If the opponent is the Dragon Tribe, what will...

Even though Black Dragon is powerful,

Willow Land has joined us in an alliance.

Black Dragon hasn't raised his defense,

so we will strike at Longyuan Lagoon.

Willow Land hasn't been in harmony with us for many years.

Is Liu Qingtian sincere in making this alliance with us?

If we are defeated,

we'll probably provoke Black Dragon's utter retribution.

Precisely because of that,

we must hold on to a death defying will to fight.

Even if there is no Willow Land,

we will stand up to fight!

This battle means life or death to Herds Land.

I hope everyone will join me to conquer the enemy, and reach victory!

Yes!

My Lord.

Today's meeting is adjourned.

- Everyone, please prepare quickly. - Yes!

Father!

What happened?

The scouts have sent a report that they discovered a small group from Xue Shen Tribe,

which appeared at the border area between Herds Land and Willow Land.

They are currently preparing to leave Herds Land, to enter Willow Land.

Furthermore,

Miss Luo Li is traveling with them.

On the way to Luo Shen Tribe's sacred mountain,

Luo Li must have been captured by them!

I will go to rescue her.

Chen'er!

You didn't understand what I mean.

I said Miss Luo Li and those men from the Xue Shen Tribe

are traveling together.

The Xue Shen Tribe's men are very respectful toward Miss Luo Li.

She doesn't seem to act out of the ordinary.

This means... she is not being captive.

What does this mean?

Perhaps Miss Luo Li wasn't captured.

This is Miss Luo Li's own choice.

Chen'er, you should know why she is doing this.

I must go rescue her.

Chen'er! What are you going to do?

Force her to come back?

What will be the consequence of this?

Can you withstand the consequences?

If you can clearly think through, I will not stop you.

Dad, I've thought it through.

I'm not forcing her to come back.

I know that if I force her to come back,

she will still want to go to the Xue Shen Tribe.

I just want her to know

that her sacrifice won't stop the Xue Shen Tribe to bother the Luo Shen Tribe.

I believe that if she finds out about this,

she won't want to marry Xue Lingzi anymore.

As long as you've thought it through...

Dad, are you agreeing?

You've grown up.

In some things, you should make your own decision.

But I must say first

that, this time, I won't be able

to help you in any way. You are on your own.

Thank you, Dad. It's enough to just have me.

Do you have any plan?

Dad, I remember when I was young,

you refined a kind of an elixir medicine.

If I remember right,

it's called the Truth Telling Elixir.

I remember. It's on the book shelf in the practice room. Go find it yourself.

I will come back right away.

Dad, if I haven't returned by the time you leave,

go ahead and leave. I will catch up as soon as possible.

My Lord, isn't it dangerous to let Young Lord go by himself?

We should believe in him.

- But he...- Enough. Don't say anything anymore.

Send my order. We embark tomorrow.

Yes.

Qing'er,

our son, Chen'er... will he repeat our mistake?

Why would Luo Li agree to get into danger?

I'm asking you a question!

Luo Li's Luo Shen Tribe has been at war with Xue Shen Tribe for many years.

Luo Shen Tribe has always been on the weak side.

Xue Shen Tribe's Chief, Xue Lingzi, announced

that if Luo Li doesn't marry him, he will destroy Luo Shen Tribe.

Is she stupid, or what?

She thinks that if she marries him, Xue Lingzi will stop?

To Xue Lingzi, she is his prey,

and the Luo Shen Tribe is his prey, too.

How could you let her go?

She said she was going to find a substitute for the Jiu You blood.

How was I supposed to know?

Are you an idiot?

You would believe such a stupid lie?

Jiu You blood is unique.

There is no substitute for it in the entire Cosmic World.

Why didn't you tell me that?!

Why are you angry with me?

I didn't know about this.

You've been inside my body. How come you didn't know?

Don't I need sleep?

You weren't able to keep her here, and now you're angry with me?

Alright, alright. It's all my fault, and you are right on everything.

Goddess, please.

This way.

Goddess, once we are out of Bei Ling area, until we reach the Western Sky Continent via Transfer Formation,

there will be no more towns and cities.

It will take two or three days for us to get there, based on how fast we walk.

I don't mean anything else, just that I'm afraid that these guys can't handle it.

Why don't we find a place to rest a little?

A short rest is fine.

But let's not stay overnight in town. I don't want anything unexpected to happen.

Understood.

The sooner, the better.

Yes.

Young Lord, His Lordship has waited for you for a long time. He wants you to return to the manor urgently.

Let's go.

Father!

What are you doing?

Open the door!

Father, why are you locking me up?

You are not participating in the battle from Longyuan Lagoon.

- Just stay here. - Why?

It's for your own good.

It's also for Willow Land's future. Don't ask.

Father, you asked me to send a letter to Uncle Mu. Now you've put me under house arrest.

Are you planning to do something bad to Herds Land?

Did you even want to cooperate with Uncle Mu, to start with?

From the beginning, you falsely agreed to the alliance with Herds Land.

Father, have you subjugated yourself to Black Dragon?

How can you do something unjust and betraying?

You used me to get Uncle Mu's trust.

Later on, how will I be able to face Herds Land?

How will Willow Land be able

to face all other realms in Bei Ling?

Shut up!

You are the Young Lord of Willow Land.

You are responsible only for Willow Land, not for Herds Land.

We are just ordinary people. Mu Feng has challenged the Dragon Tribe, disregarding his own strength.

I don't want to die with him.

Destroying Herds Land through this opportunity, is the best choice.

Destroy Herds Land? Longyuan Lagoon is a trap?

It's your diversion strategy!

Not only have you betrayed their trust, you are going to throw rocks at them when they're down!

Enough. Stop making a scene. Just stay here as you're told.

You can't get out.

Father!

Lord Liu, were you looking for me?

I locked up my son, so he won't bein our way anymore.

You did the right thing. Once the Liu Family reigns supreme in the Bei Ling area,

even if your son is dissatisfied, he will understand.

We are leaving tomorrow.

- Have you prepared everything? - Everything is ready.

Fine. Lord Liu,

I still have to remind you.

It's better not to spread the news about Liu Zong's death. The morale of the army is crucial now.

Don't worry.

At the military rally today, I already told all the officers and soldiers

that Liu Zong was killed by Herds Land, scheming with the Dragon Tribe.

The entire army is in high spirits, and have the same enemy.

Good. You are indeed smart, Lord Liu.

Maybe I'm worrying too much.

- Pour your own tea well.- Yes, yes, yes.

So plain and tasteless!

Boss, do you have liquor?

Master, we are just a tea shop.

I wish I could sell you liquor, but I really don't have such thing.

Are you thirsty?

Eat this. It'll quench thirst.

Eat it!

When are we leaving?

Right away.

It'll still be two to three days to reach the Transfer Formation. They won't even let us rest.

Didn't she refuse to marry? Now she's in a hurry.

Shut up!

Come back again!

Why aren't you asking around anymore?

It's useless to just look around. Can you find Luo Li by only looking?

This is the last town.

If I can't find Luo Li here, after this town, we're entering the wilderness.

There won't be anyone to ask for directions.

What is there to fear? You know where they are going.

Just set up an ambush in advance, on Xue Shen Tribe's territory.

It's far to get to Xue Shen Tribe.

Herds Land is about to start a war against the Dragon Palace.

As the Young Lord of Herds Land, I can't leave for too long.

Why are you so hesitant? If you want to save Luo Li, then do your best.

If you don't want to save her, then go back to help your dad.

Why are you so conflicted?

You are right.

Please, have you seen a girl, tall and slender?

She is with a group of mean-looking men.

Please, have you seen a pretty girl, who is walking with some mean-looking men?

No, I haven't.

Young brother, are you looking for someone?

- Have you seen them? - I have.

Where did they go?

Tell me clearly.

This morning, there were five mean-looking men

and a girl dressed in blue, taking a rest here.

Those guys actually wanted to buy liquor from me.

I clearly sell only tea. How could I have liquor?

And after that? Which direction did they go to?

That way. I also heard them say something about a transfer formation at the eastern border.

I don't know what that was about.

Transfer Formation at the eastern border?

They must be going directly to the Western Sky Continent, via Transfer Formation.

Thank you!

Go. Tell her to eat.

Goddess, it's time to eat.

Not hungry.

Goddess, eat a bit. The journey is long, you could get hungry and sick.

Go take a look.

Luckily, I happened to also take my dad's newly refined Face Changing Elixir.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to devise this scheme.

But I don't know how stable this new elixir is.

What are you doing?

We asked you a question!

The job is done.

What is this?

We are back.

- What was that about? - A monk is brewing liquor up ahead.

- Brewing liquor? - Yes.

We invited him here.

Daoist priest, are you brewing liquor, at this midnight hour?

What brewing liquor? You don't know anything.

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

I travel everywhere to cultivate. I am by myself, and carry little.

My only hobby is drinking.

I've drunk all the best wines in the world, but I'm gradually losing interest.

Therefore, I have started to brew my own good wine.
