It worked. Jiu You. Jiu You?

Jiu You! Jiu You!

Jiu You!

Mu family's main forces are diverted, and Herds City is just an empty city.

With all of Willow Land's forces, we didn't just fail to take the city,

we actually lost one team as well.

It's quite phenomenal.

Faceless Daoist, I couldn't have imagined it either.

Herds City actually still has the Grand Defense Formation.

Please give me more time.

What makes me curious, is that the people of Herds City seemed to be prepared in advance.

It seems that they already knew about our attack. How come?

Lord Liu, has your son been found?

Not yet.

This time tomorrow, the city must be conquered.

Faceless Daoist, the War Formation masters' Dharma Consciousness has been exhausted.

I'm afraid that they won't be able to raise it again until tomorrow.

This is easy to do.

Greetings, My Lord.

I used my spirit energy to refine this internal elixir.

Dissolve it into water and drink it.

Faceless Daoist, this...

It's called Murmuring Power, a power that comes from my master.

Compared to my master, the power that I can give them

is but a grain of sand in the desert.

Faceless Daoist, isn't your master the Supreme Black Dragon?

The Supreme Black Dragon is more like my colleague.

My master is someone that even the Supreme Black Dragon would have to bow to.

When I get a chance, I'll take you to see him.

[ The Great Ruler ]

[ Episode 10 ]

With that measly spirit energy of yours, don't bother flaunting it.

I'm sorry. I dragged you down.

The Willow Land people are simply too arrogant. I don't like them.

Jiu You, I won't let you die.

Obviously.

If I die, you won't live either.

How is it now?

They have ceased attack temporarily.

Those formation masters of Willow Land must be exhausted, all thanks to you.

Don't be overjoyed. They won't stop.

They won't, and I don't know if we can get through tomorrow.

Are all the humans like you?

You don't want to die, but insist on staying here to die.

There are things... that I have to do. It's my responsibility.

I want to ask you a question. You like Luo Li, right?

For us spirit beasts, if we like someone, we have to be together no matter what, and never separate until death.

But when you humans like someone, why do you choose to leave?

You like her so much. Why did you let her go?

I like Luo Li.

So I can't let her get hurt.

I also like my homeland, every blade of grass, every tree, even every brick and every tile.

So I cannot see it get occupied by Willow Land.

I still don't understand.

What's the difference between your two likes?

I thought you could tell me something with a deep meaning.

Turns out they're just glorified words.

You've said a lot, but it's like you didn't say anything.

Enough. Since they've taken a rest on the attack,

you should go rest, too.

Mom. Even though I have never met you,

I miss you just as much as Dad does.

I don't know how much longer I can hold on.

Or if I'll be able to see you again.

It's starting.

Dad, I've tried my best.

My Lord, Herds Land is straight ahead, but it seems to look fine.

Uncle!

I can only help you till this point.

My father was deluded by someone else.

I'll do my best to persuade him to stop when I go back. I'll bid my farewell here.

Wait.

I'm afraid your father won't easily excuse you.

Uncle, you don't have to stop me.

When two armies battle, as the ruler's subject and his son,

if I don't go back, it will make me disloyal and unfilial.

Mubai, you have high principles.

If you hadn't told us the truth in time, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

I told you the truth

because what my father is doing is really unjust.

Once I go back, I'm afraid the next time we meet, it will be on the battlefield.

Uncle, be safe. I bid you farewell.

It disappeared.

Sword injury. The skill is advanced and kills with one strike.

Lord Liu, is your camp made of paper?

How could you let others sneak into our core base, and kill our men so easily?

Issue my order.

The entire army will strike against Herds City!

Yes!

Mu Chen, you are the only guard at Herds City.

That's right.

Good. You are quite bold to be guarding it by yourself.

If you surrender obediently,

as an uncle, I won't make it difficult for you.

Uncle Liu, don't tease me.

Just by myself, I kept your Willow Land army away for two days.

Once my dad returns, I'll see you come to a dead end.

You should be the one to surrender, Uncle Liu.

Mu Chen! Willow Land's army is about to attack your Herds City.

Even if you dad was here, he wouldn't be able to do anything.

You really have an ally.

Luo Li. Why did you come back?

I'll get even with you later.

How many more people are there? Come out!

Luo Shen Sword!

- You are the one that killed my War Formation masters. - So what if I am?

Catch them.

- Uncle Mu!- Father!

- Mu Fu. - You—

Liu Qingtian, you have betrayed your tribe and subjugated yourself to evil.

You are truly shameless.

- Shu Zhang! - General Shu!

Don't let even one get away.

- Let's go!- Let's go.

Luo Li. Hurry and leave!

Luo Li!

- Mu Chen, don't go over there! - Luo Li!

Qingshan, Qian'er, take Mu Chen away!

Luo Li!

My Lord, please go now!

Senior Brother, if you don't leave, no one will be able to leave.

Teacher Mo, go! Don't worry about me.

Retreat!

Luo Li!

- Go. Hurry and go. - Luo Li!

Let's go!

Brother Mu, how is Mu Chen's injury?

He has exhausted his spirit energy, but he'll be fine after a few days' rest.

By himself, he was able to hold back Willow Land's army for two days. No civilians were harmed.

Even if it were you or me, I don't think we could have achieved as much as him.

This is not something one can achieve just by having strong spirit energy.

Brother Mo, I am not a good father.

If any danger befalls Chen'er, how will I explain to Yanjing?

Brother Mu, don't blame yourself. It's not your bad deed.

What do you plan to do next?

First, protect the people. Second, guard the land.

Don't be nervous.

I'm right. You are the Goddess of Luo Shen Tribe.

This is the Spirit Depletion Mantra. Although it hurts a little,

it will completely drain your spirit energy,

to be refined into a Core Acceptance Pill.

When I give the Core Acceptance Pill to Master, he will probably be very happy.

- Father. - You still treat me as your father?

Do you know your family name is Liu?

Conspiring with the enemy is punishable by execution, according to military law.

Father, Willow Land and Herds Land already had an alliance since long ago.

You are going back on the agreement! How will the world see Willow Land in the future?

Besides, that Faceless Daoist is evil.

You should know the proverb that when the lips are gone, the teeth are in danger.

What I did is all for Willow Land. My conscience is clear!

- Say that again. - My conscience is clear!

You!

Unfilial son!

Guards, take him down and lock him up for self reflection.

Yes.

Young Lord, excuse us.

Herds City still couldn't be taken down after our attacks.

Mu Feng came back in time to our center army base.

Isn't this all thanks to Young Lord Liu?

The army is ruled by military law. Lord Liu, you are not strict enough in ruling your army.

My son is young and ignorant, and acts recklessly.

I hope Faceless Daoist will give him another chance.

I promise you, within one month, we will definitely take down Herds City.

Good. I hope you can fulfill the promise this time.

We've lost Bear City too.

If Liu Qingtian hadn't cheat and fought openly, we might have won.

- Has there been any response in regards to the alliance invitations we sent to the other lands? - No.

Not even from Tang Land?

Even though Tang Shan is friendly with us,

the Tang and Liu families have a marriage agreement.

Brother Tang and I have known each other for a long time. I know his character.

It's just that... Willow Land is so powerful now.

It's not impossible to think that he has decided to protect himself.

Self protection is normal human behavior. It's understandable.

- Brother Tang. - Brother Mu, I have something to ask you.

Mubai. It's been several days.

How can your body stand it if you don't eat?

These are all your favourite dishes.

What? Are you still mad at Dad?

Mubai, your Uncle Tang brought Qian'er to visit today.

He wishes the two of you to get married soon.

For Uncle Tang to offer marriage at this time,

seems like Willow Land must be winning every battle and achieving victory.

Most of Herds Land is in my hands now.

Once I get rid of Herds Land,

it's just a matter of time until Willow Land rules all the lands in Bei Ling.

Once you eliminate Herds Land, are you planning to eliminate Red Land or Courage Land next?

Isn't it a good thing for Willow Land to rule all the lands of the Bei Ling Realm?

Whatever I accomplish, it will all be yours later.

I don't want gains achieved through betrayal!

Mubai!

What is more important, your reputation or your life?

Why don't you understand what's important?

Father. Are you that afraid of the Black Dragon?

It's not just simply the Black Dragon that's behind all of this.

Mubai, Dad is begging you.

Stop acting out. If you offend the power behind the Black Dragon,

it's not only our lives that will be in danger.

The entire Willow Land will sink into purgatory.

Father. Tell me.

Was Uncle really killed by Mo Xingtian?

Are you doubting your father?

What about Liu Yang?

If he finds out that you are cooperating with the Dragon Tribe that killed his father...

You cannot let anyone else know about this matter.

Mubai.

Help me.

If I don't help you,

will Willow Land be destroyed?

Right now, I still cannot agree with your methods.

But I am the Young Lord of Willow Land after all.

I am your son.

Tang Xiong.

- Brother Liu. - You've waited long, Brother Tang.

Mubai, hurry and greet your Uncle Tang.

Uncle Tang.

No need for the formalities.

Mubai, has your father told you everything?

- What do you think? - I'll follow what you arrange, Uncle Tang.

Why are you still calling me Uncle Tang then?

Father-in-law.

Okay. Good!

Brother Liu, we'll be really busy now.

Congratulations, congratulations.

Lord Liu and Lord Tang tied together as one family...

I have to attend the wedding banquet.

Of course.

Mubai, hurry. Greet His Reverence.

Mubai!

Your Reverence.

It seems that Young Lord has thought it through.

Yes.

Your Reverence,

my son previously acted quite imupulsively, and caused a lot of troubles.

It won't happen again. I hope Your Reverence won't blame him.

All young people have times when they don't think enough before they act.

It's fine, as long as they can learn from their mistakes.

Yes.

Uncle Tang.

I heard that Qian'er is here.

Qian'er is already here.

Mubai!

I... I heard that you were locked up by your dad.

I was really worried about you, so I came to see you.

Uncle Tang wants us to hold our wedding. Did you know?

I'm going to marry you sooner or later anyways.

But Mubai, what about Herds Land?

Your dad allied with the Dragon Tribe.

They've already taken over Herds City and want to attack other cities in Herds Land.

Herds Land is probably going to be destroyed soon.

And now, my dad is planning to attack Herds Land with your dad.

We need to think of a way to stop them.

- What can we do? - If we can't think of something, what will happen to Uncle Mu?

And Mu Chen, what about him?

As the Young Lord of Willow Land, I'm supposed to consider Willow Land's interests first.

When two forces battle each other, there is no right and wrong, only different positions.

What happened, Mubai?

Did something happen?

Nothing.

You didn't say it like that before. It's only been a couple of days.

Why did you become like this?

Qian'er!

Go away.

I don't want to see you right now.

Father!

Chen'er, you recovered quite well.

I was just low on spirit energy. I'm fine now, Dad.

How's Luo Li?

Luo Li is the Goddess of the Luo Shen Tribe.

Her status is unique. Liu Qingtian should know not to offend the Luo Shen Tribe.

So Luo Li should be alive.

Relax. I will tell you right away if I get any updates.

How is the war going?

Last night, we lost Wind City.

What about the injuries and deaths?

Including Wind City, about half of Herds Land is now controlled by Willow Land.

If there isn't a lot of dead and wounded, it may not be a bad thing for us.

- Tell me what you think. - It's easy to expand your territory, but more difficult to protect it.

Once Willow Land takes over the cities, it means they've become the ones on the defense.

We only need to block their reinforcement teams, and increase their consumption.

They weaken, and we grow. At the right time, we can attack them one by one.

It's great that you were able to think of this.

You are right.

Fighting a war depends on who can sustain it the longest.

But we are the same as Liu Qingtian; we can't afford to drag this for too long.

He has the Dragon Tribe to help him, but we can only try to cause disruption. It will be hard for us to reclaim the land like that.

As time goes by, our people will probably lose morale.

Oh, right, Dad, can the Cosmic Evil Dissolving Formation restrain the Black Dragon?

- It should. - That's good.

Why do you look worried?

The effect of the Cosmic Dissolving Evil Formation is to curb the evil power of the Heavenly Evil Lord.

You mean you are suspecting that Black Dragon is colluding with the Heavenly Evil Lord?

When Nine Eyes appear, the Heavenly Evil Lord resurrects.

The Longyuan Lagoon resembles an eye.

Furthermore, there have been many mysterious things going on.

Your mother once said,

the Heavenly Evil Lord is not only incredibly powerful and mysterious,

what's scary is that he can share his evil power with other people.

When those people receive the evil power, they become more powerful,

but their senses will be devoured, until they finally become the Evil Lord's chess pieces.

Dad, let's think about the positive sides.

Even if Black Dragon is colluding with the Heavenly Evil Lord,

our Cosmic Dissolving Evil Formation can be used.

At least it can solve the immediate urgency.

You are so optimistic.

However, Liu Qingtian's main camp is in Herds City now.

The Formation Core is in our manor.

It will be difficult to activate the Cosmic Dissolving Evil Formation.

Dad, I can sneak back into Herds City to activate the Formation Core.

It's too dangerous. If anyone goes, it should be me.

You are the Commanding General of the army. How can you take the risk?

I know Herds City really well, and I'm pretty knowledgeable about spirit formations.

I'm the most suitable person to do it. Dad, believe me.

I will not take unnecessary risk.

Okay.

My Lord, our supply caravan has been ambushed. More than half are wounded or dead.

Issue my order. From now on, double the number of guards for the resource transportation teams.

But, My Lord, we have limited manpower!

Just do what I say. Our logistics must be stable.

Yes!

For the past two days, our supplies have been ambushed four times.

This is causing too much damage!

Father, why don't we make peace with Herds Land?

We have the advantage now, and we should strike while it's hot. Make peace?

With our current military strength, we can't swallow up Herds Land in one bite.

If this continues, we will be dragged down to ruins. It's better to stop at the right time.

We've already broken our bond. Will Mu Feng accept a peace accord?

- We can bargain. - On what conditions?

Even if we give Herds Land back one or two cities, we've still gained a lot.

Making peace is definitely not an option.

If Herds Land gets a chance to rest and revive, it will be difficult to try to destroy them again.

Your Reverence, how should we encounter the endless harassment from Herds Land then?

With our current military strength, how do we continue to conquer and seize more territory?

I know a solution, but it depends on whether you'll do it or not.

What solution?

No need to rush. I'll make arrangements accordingly.

Greetings, Master Qingxuan.

Faceless, what do you want?

I would like to ask Master Qingxuan about granting Willow Land with the Murmuring Power.

They're just a human tribe. It's too much of a waste.

The war between Herds Land and Willow Land is at a stand still.

Mu Feng and his son are very cunning.

If we want to destroy Herds Land and kill Mu Chen,

this is a safer method.

Mu Chen must die.

All right, let's do it according to your plan.

Is Mu Chen that important?

Mu Chen is the successor of the Grand Fu Tu Mantra.

Just based on that, he must die.

Yes. One more thing.

I've captured someone, the Goddess of Luo Shen Tribe.

I made an unauthorized decision to use Spirit Depletion Mantra to pull out all of her spirit energy.

Once I've succeeded, I will offer the Core Absorption Pill to the Evil Lord and you.

If you do this well, just keep those Core Absorption Pills for yourself.

I do not dare.

Goddess of the Luo Shen Tribe.

Why are you wasting your effort?

No matter how you resist, it won't change the result.

You'll only increase your pain.

Relax a little.

Once I obtain the Sacred Vein of Luo Shen, you will be free.

Are you waiting for your lover to save you?

Actually, I would like to see him come, too.

If I can kill him, you can have a companion on the rest of your journey.

Enjoy the last moments of your life.

Qian'er!

Why are you here?

I came to see you.

I don't want to see you.

Uncle Tang and my father have already set the wedding date.

On the second day of next month, we'll officially get engaged in Herds City.

Once the war is over, we will get married.

As long as you don't withdraw your army,

- I will not marry you. - I'm afraid your father will force you into our wedding suite.

Then I'd rather die.

Do you detest me so much? Aren't we...

At the time, I thought that you were someone who could tell the difference between black and white.

I blame myself for having been blind.

I am the Young Lord of Willow Land.

Would you rather I betray my father and slaughter my brothers on the battlefield?

You tell me. What should I do?

You could, at least, do nothing!

Please get out.

Who is it? Stand still!

Go!

Hurry!

Everyone is here.

Your Reverence, what is this about?

Yesterday, you asked about my solution.

I will tell you now.

These two are prisoners from Herds Land. Do you miss home?

- What do you want to do? - If you two can win this Young Lord of Willow Land,

I will let you go.

I'll fight.

Young Lord Liu, how about showing us your skills?

This...

Lord Liu, stay calm. Just watch.

I'm sorry.

They aren't my competition.

Of course. I am here to help you.

If you want to kill us, go ahead. Don't play with us.

You must be tired. Drink some water.

If I wanted to kill you, why would I go to the trouble of poisoning you?

Here. Drink it.

This is what you used on the War Formation masters when we attacked Herds City.

That's right. Murmuring Power.

Up.

What's going on?

Mubai. Be careful.

Stop.

Mubai. Mubai. How are you?

- I'm fine. I'm fine. - Your Reverence.

What is with this Murmuring Power?

Murmuring Power?
