Mubai. Be careful!

Stop!

Mubai. Mubai. Are you okay?

I'm fine.

Your Reverence, what exactly is this Murmuring Power?

The Murmuring Power?

It originally came from the blessings of my master.

Under the blessings of the Murmuring Power,

even two untrained men, who only know a little about fist fights, can become skilled warriors.

If Willow Land's soldiers all receive this power,

a mere Herds Land would be nothing to us.

The solution that you talked about yesterday,

is to let Willow Land's soldiers accept the Murmuring Power?

- That's right. - No way!

How is that a blessing? It's clearly a curse!

Look at them. Are they still human?

These two men's spirit energy is too low.

That's why they went insane after a sudden infusion of the strong power.

They will slowly recover. No need to worry.

How do I know you are telling the truth?

Why are you gambling with Willow Land's future?

This kind of evil and deviant power... We don't need it!

I am doing this for you all.

This way, Lord Liu, you won't need to worry about the alliance with the Dragon Tribe.

No one will raise any objections to you.

Father, you must not listen to the Faceless Daoist.

He doesn't care about Willow Land.

Young Lord Liu, don't be agitated, or you'll get dizzy again.

Mubai. Mubai!

Your Reverence, you did something to him!

It's just the Spirit Devouring Demonic Toxin.

If I don't activate it, your son will only get occasional dizziness.

There isn't any life-threatening danger.

Lord Liu, I'm guiding you to an open path.

You've seen it. Once Willow Land accepts this strong power,

Willow Land will be able to claim power not only in the Bei Ling area,

but even in the Cosmic World.

- Besides, aren't you worried about your son's safety? - Father, don't worry about me.

It's fine. I can give you some time to think about it.

Before you make a decision, I don't want many people to know about this.

[The Great Ruler]

[Episode 11]

Father, didn't you tell me that Uncle Tang is pretending to form an alliance with Willow Land?

I will pretend to ally with Willow Land to earn his trust.

Then send Qian'er to the Liu family to marry Mubai.

The Tang and Liu families already have a marriage agreement.

Sending Qian'er to the Liu Family at this time, is the best way to get their confidence.

You are quite bold. Don't you fear death?

Uncle Tang, you are going into the enemy's camp and even taking Qian'er with you.

You're also bold.

But, Uncle Tang, you saw what just happened in the hall.

I didn't know that the Faceless Daoist has such a plan up his sleeve.

Do you think Uncle Liu will agree to the Faceless Daoist's plan?

Hard to say.

If all of the Willow Land's soldiers accept this kind of power, we won't have any chance to win.

The Murmuring Power is actually not too hard to deal with.

But Liu Mubai has be poisoned by Demonic Poison. We must save him.

You have a way to counter Murmuring Power?

Uncle Tang, please trust me.

Good. Both your father and you have always been smart.

I believe in you, guys. What do you need me to do?

After three days, Herds Land will send an elite team to ambush Willow Land's supply caravan.

At that time, they will lose and get captured.

They will probably be imprisoned inside Herds City.

When the time is right, they will break out of prison and make trouble from the inside,

to capture Liu Qingtian and the Faceless Daoist, and stop this war.

Using deception and taking drastic measures.

Really smart ideas.

But you mean you want me to release these prisoners at the crucial time.

- Right? - Yes.

You are overestimating me.

I am only a guest here.

Prisons are strictly guarded. How do I release the prisoners?

Furthermore, Willow Land is really angry about the ambushes made by Herds Land.

How can you guarantee that those fighters won't be executed as soon as they're captured,

instead of being brought back here?

You're right.

If you want to successfully execute the plan, you need more helpers.

Liu Mubai?

Father. It's no use.

I've heard of the Spirit Devouring Demonic Poison.

It is connected to the spirit energy of the person who unleashed it.

Unless Faceless Daoist personally releases it, or dies,

it can't be treated.

It's my fault for being so useless.

It's my fault you're in such pain.

Don't say that. You didn't do anything wrong.

It's that Faceless Daoist who is shameless and despicable. You must not agree to his plan.

You are my only son.

My own life isn't that important.

The countless lives of Willow Land is the foundation of our land.

I know. I'll make my own judgement.

Come in.

Your Reverence, am I disturbing you?

Lord Liu, you are visiting so late at night.

Did you already make a decision?

Yes, I'll follow your orders.

In the future, I will need your help.

Yes.

Lord Liu, it's not that easy to kill me.

If you want to sneak an attack again, remember to hide your spirit energy.

Don't let people see through you at one glance.

If you dare kill me, then don't even think about getting out of here.

Lord Liu, I know you have a lot of skilled fighters here.

If they all attack at the same time, it's true that I have no chance of winning.

But if I die here,

my master will not let this go.

If it comes to that, there won't be anyone left alive in the entire Willow Land.

I understand that you are anxious to save your son.

But if you kill me, not only that you won't save him, but you will pay an even higher price.

For someone as smart as you, Lord Liu,

you must understand, right?

Go.

Uncle, Your Reverence, why have you come?

His Reverence and I are doing an inspection.

Young Master, you've worked hard.

Did you run into any ambush on the way?

Yes, I did, but they were just lowly soldiers. We took them down with just a few moves.

You certainly have the ability.

Your father must feel gratified watching you in Heaven.

I will definitely kill all the trash in Herds Land, to avenge my father.

Liu Yang, you've worked hard. Go rest early.

Uncle, do you need me to accompany you?

No need. Go back.

Yes.

These are the military provisions being transported tomorrow to Bear City, right?

Yes. Your Reverence, whatever you want to do,

it's time to do it now.

- Mu Chen? - What are you waiting for? Hurry and let me in.

If I don't get inside now, people will come. Or do you want to have me arrested?

Come in.

Why are you here?

I know that you are poisoned.

- You shouldn't have come here. - I know, but I had to.

What exactly are you doing?

I want to persuade you to work with me, to fight against Faceless Daoist.

My dad really trusts Faceless Daoist now.

If you fight him, that means I'll fight against my father, but I am the Young Lord of Willow Land.

It's because you are the Young Lord of Willow Land that you must help me.

Do you want to watch your dad,

you, and your tribe, turn into zombies?

You saw everything?

Yes.

Mubai. Your dad will do anything in order to save you.

Wait for me here. Don't go anywhere.

Father! Father! Father!

Come! Follow me.

Luo Li! Luo Li.

Don't be impulsive!

- Hurry and go. - No. I have to save her.

The Faceless Daoist will appear any time. If you die, who will save Luo Li?

Let's go!

Go.

Your Reverence, is everything all right?

It's fine. Just a false alarm.

Should I increase the number of guards?

No need. Keep everything the same.

It's getting late now after all this.

Lord Liu, let us continue tomorrow.

Okay. Please.

Seems like Faceless Daoist didn't see us.

Sorry. I was too impulsive.

I should be the one saying sorry.

I didn't know Faceless Daoist captured Luo Li. To put myself in your shoes,

I don't know how I agitated I'd be if it were Qian'er who was caught.

You and Qian'er are about to be engaged, right?

Yeah.

Then I should prepare a red pocket. Congratulations.

She won't even look at me now.

She says that I'm helping Evil commit wrongdoings.

How did it become like this?

The Liu family has done wrong to the Mu family.

Liu Qingtian is my father.

I can't disobey my father's orders.

Sorry. I can't help you.

But, in my heart,

you are always my brother.

Be careful.

Mom, don't worry.

I will definitely get our home back.

Don't drink it!

Mubai, from today onwards, I'll be responsible for what you eat and drink.

Remember this: you can only eat what I send you. Nothing else.

Liu Yang!

Brother Liu,

what's with those soldiers and servants? Qian'er and I—

Brother Tang, relax.

I have already made arrangements for your and your daughter's meals.

I'm here, so what are you scared of?

Relax.

Brother Liu. Brother Liu!

I didn't know Liu Qingtian bowed down so quickly. Such a spineless thing.

Now, the possibility for your plan to succeed is reduced by a lot.

These senseless monsters won't show mercy to the prisoners.

Uncle Tang, even though the situation is urgent, we're not at a dead end.

My plan is still doable.

The fact that those demonized soldiers are senseless

is exactly why they'll need a leader.

You are still hoping for Mubai?

Hasn't he refused you already?

He did reject me.

But I still feel a certain confidence in him.

Mubai feels tied to old bonds, that's why he doesn't have the heart to disobey his father.

But for the same reason, I don't believe he'd be able to watch his fellow tribesmen

become like that, without doing anything.

Then you must be fast.

We are surrounded by a bunch of monsters right now. It's too dangerous.

Uncle Tang, I am well aware of the situation.

But no matter what, there's something I have to do first.

I didn't know the measly Human Tribe could have such power.

This must be the strength of the Murmuring Power.

Faceless Daoist, are you sure you can control these people?

Don't worry. They'll completely obey me.

How about it, Mo Xingtian? Do you want to receive this blessing from Heaven?

Forget it. I don't have such fortune.

Luo Li.

Hold on for a little longer.

Luo Li. Wake up.

- Luo Li. - Mu Chen. Don't worry about me.

Hurry and go.

Luo Li. If I leave, we are leaving together.

Luo Li.

It hurts, right?

However much pain you feel now, hit me just as hard when we get back.

But right now, I have to take you back.

Where do you want to take my Luo Shen Divine Vein?

Mu Chen, you can't fly out of here even with wings. Just surrender.

Jiu You.

Mu Chen?

So strong! Let me try.

It's so easy.

Mo Xingtian, you step down.

Mu Chen, I didn't know you have help from a spirit beast.

- Interesting. - Jiu You!

Don't waste your time. My Spirit Depletion Mantra can absorb your spirit energy.

It is your spirit beast's nemesis.

Mu Chen.

Don't worry about me. Leave.

No way! I promised that I would protect you.

I won't let you go.

- Kill him. - Wait!

Liu Mubai. This isn't something for you to get inolved with. Hurry and go back.

Mu Chen.

Mu Chen. Mu Chen. Mu Chen!

Mu Chen!

Young Lord Liu, good job.

I didn't know you'd really be able to do it.

Since I've promised my father, I won't go back on my words.

I killed a spy from the enemy.

You understand now.

I'm really impressed.

- Guards, hang Mu Chen's corpse above the city gate— - Wait!

Your Reverence, I have a request.

Even though we serve different masters, and our end is decided by fate,

he and I are classmates and friends after all.

I can't let his corpse suffer disrespect.

Your Reverence, please give me his corpse. I'll take care of it.

Okay.

It's good that you treasure friendship. I agree.

Thank you, Your Reverence.

Mu Chen.

Mu Chen.

Mu Chen. Mu Chen!

He is already dead.

Liu Mubai, how could you really bring yourself to kill him?

When two armies battle,

of course I can't be merciful if he is the enemy.

Qian'er.

Mubai, are you okay?

- Why didn't you dodge? - If you can feel a little better by doing this,

I'm willing to take more hits.

Are you sure you personally saw Mu Chen's corpse?

No mistake. I personally examined it.

The dagger went into the stomach five inches. No breathing and no pulse.

He really is dead.

You did very well.

Thank you for the compliment, Master Qingxuan.

Now that Mu Chen is dead, do we continue with the plan?

That Qing Yanjing still has a husband, right?

Completely destroy Herds Land. Don't leave any trouble.

Yes.

Seeing your lover die right in front of you,

it must not be a good feeling, is it?

Don't persist any longer.

Soon you will be relieved.

Then you can see him.

Most of the troops that were dispatched today have suffered severe injuries.

Willow Land's soldiers seem unusual, just like monsters.

The Dragon Tribe has also joined the battles.

If it continues like this, we won't last long.

I am very surprised too.

So I want to capture a prisoner for questioning.

However...

What?

Take a look yourself.

Bring him up.

Evil Lord! This is the Heavenly Evil Lord's Murmuring Power.

I've read about it an ancient scripture.

Five thousand years ago, this is how the Evil Lord enslaved all the people.

It seems that all of our guesses have been proven right.

Mu Feng, we must win this battle.

We also must tell all the tribes that the Evil Lord is coming back.

My Lord!

Why are you in such a panic?

Young Lord... he...

Uncle Tang?

- Mubai? - Why are you here?

I want to ask you the same question.

Mu Feng and I are friends. He only has one son.

I have to take his corpse back, so he can at least see him for the last time.

Why didn't you say so earlier?

I didn't want to bring any attention to myself in front of Faceless Daoist, to avoid trouble.

Enough. Can you tell me why you are here?

Mubai, if you have a difficulty, you can tell me.

I am your father-in-law.

Mubai, there must be a hidden reason why you're here today.

If you don't trust me, I will leave right away.

I also won't tell anybody that I saw you here.

Uncle Tang.

You just said that you are friends with Uncle Mu.

Then, are you willing to shoulder some risk for your friend?

Of course.

Chen'er?

Slowly.

Mubai, you hit me so hard.

Since the first time you came to find me,

I knew that this situation may happen any time.

So I kept the Fire Patter Scorpion Poison with me.

This poison can stop your breathing,

and slow down the heartbeat to beat only once every hour.

It makes it look just like death.

If I didn't plunge the dagger in you, how could I have deceived Faceless Daoist?

So you two playacted a ruse.

Therefore, will you accept my proposal now?

Uncle Tang already knew I was sneaking back into Herds Land.

What?

- In that case, when you mentioned marriage with my father... - Yes.

Mubai, you are a good kid.

No matter what happens, I still see you as my son-in-law.

General Mo Xingtian.

What is this?

In a few days, my daughter and Mubai will get engaged.

I'm preparing the dowry first.

Lord Tang, don't mind me.

We are fighting a war right now, so we must be careful.

After all, Mu Chen was able to sneak inside here.

Mind it? Of course I don't mind it.

Mubai.

Tolerate it for a little.

To avoid suspicion in the manor,

you have to put up with this.

How do you plan on fighting Faceless Daoist?

What do you need me to do?

Didn't you say that you weren't going to help me?

Stop reminding me.

Previously, I helped my father against my conscience,

because I thought it was good for Willow Land.

But now I think I'm wrong. I regret it.

Before I tell you my plan,

there are two things I have to say.

Say it.

The first thing is

I can definitely detoxify those tribesmen that are controlled by the Murmuring Power.

But, during the detoxification,

a large amount of their spirit energy will be pulled out of their bodies.

I'm afraid not many people will be able to bear it.

You mean they will die?

For sure?

Even though they are extricated from the control of the Evil Lord's power,

I'm afraid not many people can get through it.

They are no different than being dead right now.

Without their soul, without their personality,

they are only weapons of slaughter.

They've turned into complete monsters.

I accept it.

Okay.

Secondly, it's about the Demonic Toxin in your body.

This doesn't count as a problem.

I don't even care about my tribesmen's lives now. Why would I care about mine?

You don't care about your life,

but someone does.

Think about your dad. Think about Qian'er.

In order to accomplish something, one must pay a price.

This is my father's sin.

A son pays for his father's debit. I will pay for him.

Liu Mubai.

Mu Chen, don't you know you are too softhearted?

If our roles were exchanged,

you might not have been able to push in that dagger.

It seems that we have reached an agreement.

Tell me. What is your plan?

Is there still no news?

Has Chen'er's body been found?

No.

There is no other information at the moment.

If there's no corpse, then Chen'er is not dead!

Brother Mu! Brother Mu!

Brother Mu!

It's a letter from Brother Tang.

Chen'er isn't dead.

They also have very good news.

Zhou Ye, gather all the elite fighters. It's time to go.

Yes.

Jiu You. Jiu You!

Jiu You!

- Jiu You. - I'm here.

You scared me. I couldn't find you anywhere.

I was sleeping. Why are you panicking?

That Faceless Daoist sucked away all my spirit energy.

His spirit mantra restrains us.

Only because you are too weak.

Yes.

I will do the rest with my own power. Go back and rest.

What do you want to do?

I'm going to practice the Eight Wilderness Formation.

Luo Li is in Faceless Daoist's hands right now. Sooner or later, I will have to fight him.

His spirit mantra is restraining us, so I will use another method.

But, even though the Eight Wilderness Formation is powerful,

it is very dangerous to the person wielding the formation.

I'm afraid that I'll affect you.

Rather than being controlled, I'd rather fight to death with him.

Even if I don't let you save Luo Li, would you agree?

Jiu You, thank you.

Mubai, you don't have to go to battle this time.

Understood?

Father, this is our own battle. How can I hide in the rear?
