No Boundary Season 2

Episode 3

There's a recruit named Jiang Wen Qing on this list.

His information is incomplete.

He's from Mr Yue's place.

Do you know this person?

I see.

Get Mr Yue for me.

That person

is me.

Who are you?

Why do you look exactly like me?

I am you,

from 1,000 years later.

Nonsense!

Guards!

Just scream!

It's useless even if you scream.

Let me tell you.

One hour ago,

I've led your guards away

using this face of yours.

All your guards are just reckless

and brainless daredevils.

What exactly do you want?

Penglai Drawing.

How do you know about Penglai Drawing?

I told you.

I am you who come from 1,000 years later,

but you don't believe me.

You're the commander-in-chief of the human race.

The Heavenly Maiden gave you Penglai Drawing.

After the disputes between the two races are solved,

you'll activate Penglai Drawing, claim credit and be conferred as a deity.

However,

just because of your bad decision,

just because Duanmu Cui was on her last legs due to serious injury,

you gave in and gave her your divinity.

After that, Penglai is left without any leader.

As for the deities you conferred,

they're all dead woods.

They don't deserve to be deities!

Do you know

that a moment of weakness of yours

brought tragic disaster to the Three Realms?

What kind of disaster?

The demons are impossible to exterminate.

The offsprings of the Dragon Clan are still alive.

They spread demon poison to harm lives.

It caused the Three Realms to fall apart.

Are you telling the truth?

You bet!

I didn't expect

that you're still soft-hearted now.

You even

called off the engagement between Gu Chang and Duanmu Cui.

You know what?

During the battle of Chong City,

Gu Chang died,

Duanmu Cui fought on behalf of him

as his fiancee.

That's why she won the battle with an indignant army.

Now that you've called off the engagement,

everything has changed.

Even the slightest change

could rewrite

the outcome of this battle.

Do you know that?

Gu Chang died in the battle?

What happened?

How does it

concern you?

Of course, it concerns me.

Every single thing

has to be done

according to the steps.

In that case,

the ending will remain the same,

and the apotheosis will go on.

Then, I will take your place,

run the apotheosis,

and get my divinity back.

Why do you need divinity?

What... What do you want?

For thousands of years,

Penglai has made no accomplishment.

Since the deities of Penglai have never contributed anything,

then I will supervise

Penglai deities for the people,

make them work harder.

Since the Demon Clan is leading the people astray,

I will exterminate the entire clan

for the people!

I am doing everything

for the people in this world!

You're only satisfying your ambitions

under the disguise of saving the people.

You know nothing.

Yet, you don't have to know.

The only thing you need to know

is that you

must die!

I... I'm telling you.

A man of great ambition must not be soft-hearted.

He has to be firm!

Only I can bring justice and order

to this world.

I can't make any mistake!

I will get my divine status!

Zhan Yan

Look.

Lord Shangguan,

what kind of fetish is this?

Zhan Yan

Not only a man like you

is playing with a doll,

you even named it.

Look properly.

He is the sheriff of Qifeng Prefecture,

your leader, Zhan Yan.

I don't remember him.

Look properly.

He is your leader.

Think. Think properly.

Come here!

Take a look at these.

What are these?

Recently,

I went through all the archives of Qifeng Prefecture.

Zhan Yan

is the head sheriff of Qifeng Prefecture.

All this while, we've been solving peculiar cases under his lead,

he's been close with us.

All these are the cases

which Zhan Yan solved

in recent years.

I've sorted them out.

Two years ago, you solved

the murders and robbery of a bank.

In the last two years,

the Demon Clan had been causing trouble,

so Penglai sent a deity, Duanmu Cui

to help us solve cases.

Together with him

and Sect Leader Duanmu,

you'd arrested a lot of wicked demons.

Why would I forget Sheriff?

I remember a few things now.

He is Lord Zhan.

He guided us and Xihualiu Sect

to solve many cases.

How could I forget him?

Do you remember him now?

Do you remember him now?

No.

You were saying...

What's his name again?

Why did I forget again?

You won't forget it now.

Zhan Yan.

Zhan Yan

Lord Shangguan,

why would we forget Lord Zhan

who means so much to us?

This is

a long story.

Even if they remember him now,

they will soon forget.

The laws of the Three Realms

are definitely not something human can contend.

Even if they let more people know

or come up with more ideas,

at the end,

they will forget.

Star Lord,

what should we do?

We can only hope

that Zhan Yan will get into Abyss,

bring Duanmu to her senses

and bring the antidote back as soon as possible.

I am worried

that Duanmu will be obsessed with Abyss

and refuse to come back.

Xiao Tian,

go back to Penglai now,

do everything you can

to protect Duanmu's primordial spirit.

If there's any sign of activity,

let me know right away.

Yes.

General!

General!

The Prime Minister suddenly changed his mind,

Duanmu Brigade is required to merge into Gu Chang Brigade this instance!

What?

How did this happen?

The Prime Minister also said,

General Gu Chang and you need to get married as soon as possible

and has decided to appoint General Gu Chang as the commander

to take Chong City down.

Godfather promised me

that he'd call off the engagement.

Why did he go back on his word?

I don't know.

After Zhan Yan heard about it,

he went to the Prime Minister's place right away.

I truly meant

what I told you last night.

Please consider carefully

and recall the order of merging brigades.

The die is cast.

It's impossible to change it.

Prime Minister.

Please recall your order.

Brother,

yesterday Godfather gave his order,

he said that we don't have to merge brigades,

is that true?

It is true.

Duanmu,

Godfather is...

Godfather always walks the walk.

Why would he change his mind?

Duanmu!

Don't be rude.

There must be a reason

for his decision.

Duanmu,

as your godfather,

I caved in.

But as the prime minister,

I must not be affected by personal emotions.

You and Gu Chang must merge brigades

and take down Chong City.

Gu Chang!

Yes, sir!

You'll be the commander of the battle,

Duanmu Brigade will back you up

and follow your orders.

Prime Minister,

Duanmu Brigade is able to lead the attack,

they don't have to be an assist.

Duanmu Brigade has been wiped out,

don't bite off more than you can chew.

As a commanding general,

the army will obey your order.

It has nothing to do with the size of army.

General Gao, are you saying that Duanmu Brigade won't obey her order

just because their numbers are dismally small?

You!

General Gao was right.

During the battle in Anyi City,

the human race managed to humble Demon Clan.

Her ability is plain to see.

Since she had taken down Anyi City,

she can take down Chong City as well.

Zhan Yan.

Prime Minister.

The Duanmu Brigade is capable of taking Chong City down.

Zhan Yan!

Zhan Yan has so much faith in me,

he's fighting for me.

I must not back off.

Prime Minister,

what Zhanyan said is exactly what I think.

The Duanmu Brigade managed to take Anyi City down,

we will take Chong City down as well.

There is no need to merge.

Duanmu!

You're my goddaughter,

but you don't listen me. You're disobedient.

You're a general,

but you don't obey the Prime Minister. You're disloyal.

You...

Godfather!

Prime Minister!

Godfather, don't be fired up.

Duanmu is acting on impulse,

please give her more time

to figure things out.

Godfather,

please think properly.

Duanmu!

Godfather,

we can reward according to merit.

During the battle in Anyi City,

the Duanmu Brigade contributed the most.

No doubt,

Gu Chang Brigade also deserves the credit.

Besides, there's also Gao Bo Brigade.

General Gao was in charge of transporting grains.

It was rather a tough job.

All three of them have the charisma to command.

Godfather,

why don't we set up a ring

to select the commanding general?

What do you think, Godfather?

Prime Minister,

I think that is an excellent idea.

I think it will work.

If anyone is not convinced,

this will convince them.

Otherwise, how can you lead a battle?

Prime Minister,

please set up a ring.

I will be glad

to fight it out with other generals.

Nonsense!

Jiang Yi,

I've underestimated your godchildren

and miscalculated Zhan Yan's action.

It's fine.

I still need time to map out a strategy

and figure a way to repeat the history.

You have always been fair

and won the heart of the people with your capability.

I think General Yang proposed a great idea,

what is your concern?

Fine.

If this is the case,

we'll set up a ring.

Three days later, the person who gets the battle badge

will be the commanding general.

The commanding general

will call the shots during the battle.

One more condition,

the marriage

will be discussed again later.

Sure.

If Gu Chang gets the badge,

everything will carry on as usual.

Godfather,

Duanmu's leg hasn't recovered yet.

I will fight on her...

I will fight

on her behalf.

Prime Minister!

Even if I defeat General Duanmu now,

this is unfair.

I am willing to fight

with Lieutenant Zhan.

Prime Minister,

I'm willing to fight with Lieutenant Zhan as well.

Godfather,

I'll do as you say.

Alright.

All three brigades have to be well-prepared

to win the badge.

Okay, you may excuse yourselves.

Yes.

I won't be able to beat Duanmu Cui,

but you?

Zhan Yan,

don't let me down.

You're a general,

why don't you stay inside the tent

or take someone with you?

Aren't you afraid of getting hurt again?

Don't worry.

I'm doing fine with this cane.

You should return to the tent and rest.

Zhan Yan,

I've never seen

Godfather being so furious.

He seems like a different person.

The battle is in a critical stage,

that's why he's stressed out.

Maybe you're right.

I've irritated Godfather.

Zhan Yan,

I'll remember everything that you've done for me today.

Thank you.

However,

since you're fighting on my behalf,

you must go all out.

The fate of Duanmu Brigade

lies in your hands.

Zhan Yan,

are you feeling unwell?

I'm fine.

I just need some rest.

Are you pushing yourself

for General?

General Duanmu has too much on her shoulders.

As a lieutenant,

I should help her

as much as I can.

If you're feeling unwell,

you must tell me.

When you're with me,

you don't have to act tough.

I will.

I promise you.

General Duanmu.

Lu Ji,

what are you doing here?

Gu Chang told you to come here, didn't he?

I wanted to come here.

I think

you've misjudged General Gu Chang.

He's an ordinary man.

He suffers

as much as you do.

But he doesn’t know how to express his feelings.

Please don't be estranged from him

just because you're all fighting for the badge.

You're putting in a good word for him,

aren't you worried that we'll make up

and marry each other?

There will be no place for you.

I've never asked for anything in return

for everything I've done for him.

You stay by his side without getting any credits,

is it worth it?

I love him,

this is my choice.

Whether he loves me or not,

marries me or not,

it won't change my feelings for him.

I just hope

that he can be happy every day

and do anything he wants.

Zhan Yan also said the same thing.

Is this love?

But to me,

love is not just about giving.

When I love someone,

I will never give him to anyone else.

This is

exactly how General feels about you.

No.

In Gu Chang's heart.

the only person he loves is himself,

no one else.

He never cares about what I want

or what I like.

He just wants me to live the way he wants.

He's not like what you said.

The most important thing is,

to him,

I am no different

from his other concubines and lovers.

I'm just someone he marries officially.

While the others

just can't share the same status.

Aren't these enough?

Wish I can find the true love of my life

and I'll never leave until the end of time.

If I'm truly in love with him,

why should I share with other people?

I'm glad to hear that.

What?

Judging from what you said,

I think you're in love.

Me?

No.

I'm just telling you what I really think.

When you talked earlier,

you were smiling,

you might have not realised it.

Who is that person

who can make you fall for him?

The happiest thing that could happen in this world

is when the person you love loves you back.

I truly envy you.

Sorry for interrupting.

The soldiers will catch up with us very soon.

I will make sure you survive this.

Sister,

what are you doing?

Lu Ji,

didn't you tell me

that you'll find a man you love,

and live a footloose,

carefree

and happy life

just like an ordinary person?

No.

No.

No!

It has been so many years,

I've settled down in a military camp,

but I lost track of you.

Sister,

how are you doing?

I thought you've forgotten about me.

Sister?

What are you doing here?

I thought...

You thought that you'd never see me again, didn't you?

I miss you so terribly all these years.

I'm so happy.

It's a good thing that we're from the same root,

that's how I get to follow you around

by tracing

the scent of our blood.

If only I had found you sooner,

I could've sneaked into the human's camp

and completed my mission.

Anyi City wouldn't have lost the battle.

What are you talking about?

What are you doing?

No.

Lu Ji,

take this heart

and love someone.

Live happily.

No.

Lu Ji,

goodbye.

Sister!

No!

Over there.

After her!

I almost forgot

what it's like when my heart beats.

Back then,

I gave you all my emotions and heart

to you.

And I turned into a monster

who doesn't feel joy or sorrow.

I know.

I know.

It is all my fault.

Without feelings, I will never have weakness.

I didn't come back to see you.

I'm here to kill the commanding general.

You can't do this.

Are you trying to stop me?

Sister.

Back then, we escaped from the Demon Clan

just to live a life

like an ordinary person.

This is the past.

Now I finally understand,

only the strong ones

can survive in this world.

I'm warning you,

if you dare to stop me,

even you won't be able to escape.

Wengu.

General.

General.

Be honest with me,

how is Zhan Yan's health condition?

After the battle of Anyi City,

Zhan Yan has been feeling unwell.

Sometimes I can't feel his pulse,

it's getting weaker.

But he didn't injure himself in the battle,

why is he feeling unwell?

I'm not sure about the reason for now.

But don't worry.

I will make him some medicinal soup

to replenish his energy.

The medicine is ready.

Should I bring it to Zhan Yan now?

Is this his medicine?

I will bring it to him.

Your leg hasn't recovered yet.

My leg is injured,

not my arms.

Don't worry. I'll be fine.

You can't even walk properly,

why aren't you resting in the tent?

Wengu said

that you're feeling unwell.

I brought you the medicine.

Drink it.

It won't work once it's cold.

Are you studying the strategies?

I sorted out some of Gu Chang’s usual habits.

He is good at using heavy weapons

and close combats.

But his movement will be limited,

my chances of winning will be higher.

No matter what,

you still need to be careful.

Not only he's good at using spear,

his reaction is also quicker compared to others.

You have to pay more attention.

Duanmu,

is she caring about me?

Let us

talk about Gao Bo Jian.

Gao Bo Jian.

He's a foolhardy.

He abandoned 17 and a half of the 18 martial arts.

But he is extremely shameless,

you must watch out

for his bush-league tactics.

I'm a man with real capability,

I will not be afraid of any tactics.

Gao Bo Jian,

he sacrificed the soldiers of Duanmu Brigade.

I will make him

pay for this in a fair and honest manner.

Zhan Yan,

you're abusing this chance to take revenge.

You look like a decent man,

I didn't know that you're like this.

Like what?

You're fair and honest like me.

If I get to fight,

Gao Bo Jian won't even have the chance

to beg for forgiveness.

General.

It's late and cold out there.

I'm doing fine here,

go back and rest.

What's the matter?

General,

there's something that I don't understand.

Why do you have to compete with General Duanmu

for the commanding general position?

Duanmu is too kind.

If she takes down Chong City

as the commanding general,

she will definitely be lenient with the Demon Clan.

In order to solve it once and for all,

I have to be the commanding general.

In that case, the demons in Chong City

will have no chance to revive.

I will be

the bad guy.

General,

do you hate the Demon Clan that much?

The demons in Chong City,

I will not let any of them off.

What's the matter?

I'm thinking,

how nice it'd be if there's no war.

I just want you to be safe and sound.

If the human race and Demon Clan

can live together in peace,

could you...

Peace is earned by war.

Without war,

there's no peace.

But...

Other people might not know me,

but don't you know what I'm thinking?

Ending the war is my lifelong wish.

The die is cast,

there's no need to talk about it.

Go back and rest.

Yes.

I'll go back right now.

I'm from Teng Mu Tribe.

If I burn my bone,

it will make you fall asleep.

Even if this means you'll misunderstand me

or kill me,

you cannot be the commanding general.

General,

I can't let you fight with my sister.

Both you and my sister,

I can't lose any of you.

I'd been through so many battles

and escaped so many assassinations,

this kind of knock-out scent means nothing to me.

What are you doing?

Who is your sister?

Are you siding the Demon Clan now?

No, I'm not!

You're not a human.

You're a demon.

You've been lying to me.

You have been staying by my side

for so many years,

what exactly is your motive?

Tell me now!

Or I will take your life today.

I've never intended to harm you.

I'm just worried

that something will happen to you in the duel.

Yes,

I'm a demon.

But I've never harmed any human.

General.

Shut up!

Sister,

it has been five years

since you left me.

I swear,

I will never let any demon off.

They deserve to die.

Help!

Help!

Help!

Help me.

Help me.

A demon is trying to kill me.

Are you a demon?

No, I'm not.

Why is the demon coming after you?

The Demon Clan enslaved my sister and I

so that we'd work for them.

We couldn't stand the cruelty of the Demon Clan,

so we escaped.

But they caught us when we were on the run.

They want to take us back.

Where is your sister?

My sister did everything she could to help me escape,

but the Demon Clan...

How could the Demon Clan be so incompetent?

You're just a vulnerable lady.

Why didn't you dodge?

I am just a country girl.

I can't fight against the Demon Clan

and you.

I knew I wouldn't be able to escape,

why take the trouble to dodge?

It seems like the Demon Clan really backed you into a corner.

Don't worry.

I'll save you.

Why?

Why did you lie to me?

Why are you a demon?

General.

Will you believe in what I say?

You know it very well.

I hate the Demon Clan to the core.

Whatever you say,

I will never believe it.

I will spare you for now.

After I win the badge,

I will interrogate you myself.

Guards!

Take Lu Ji away.

Lock her up in the prison.

Yes!

General.

General!

General!

General!

General!

Jiang Yi,

did you hear that?

The war drum is beating.

No matter who gets the badge today,

the battle in Chong City is inevitable.

I want you to see

I'm definitely better than you.

Zhan Yan is a lieutenant,

he doesn't have the right to join this duel.

But if you insist on participating,

you must take turns to defeat the generals

to convince everyone.

This is not fair.

Prime Minister,

why not draw the hook to determine the order?

This is not fair to Zhan Yan.

The fact that I allow him to fight for you

is already unfair for others.

Zhan Yan,

if you refuse to accept this,

you can quit.

I accept it.

First round,

Gao Bo Jian fights against Zhan Yan!

Don't say

that I'm bullying a lieutenant.

Should I give you a head start?

No.

I...

Nice! Nice!

Gao Bo Jian didn't even make a move yet,

but he's lost.

Zhan Yan is amazing.

General Gao,

it's been a pleasure.

General,

are you alright?

Back off!

You...

Guards,

guards!

Guards!

What's wrong?

I can't breathe,

my whole body is aching terribly.

Hurry up.

Summon the military doctor.

General told us

to guard this demon properly.

We can't let anything happen to her.

Open the door, quick.

Go inside and check.

Wake up.

She passed out.

What... What should we do?

Second round,

Gu Chang fights against Zhan Yan!

Zhan Yan,

for the future of the human race,

I will not be lenient.

You don't have to, General Gu Chang.

I don't need anyone's mercy.

Zhan Yan,

your breathing isn't stable,

you won't be able to beat me.

Don't strain yourself.

Just give up already.

I will not give up.

Duanmu.

Zhan Yan!

Yes, yes! General won!

General won! Great! Great!

Serve you right.

Great! Great!

Zhan Yan.

Zhan Yan.

I'm sorry.

I've let you down.

Hurry up. Carry him to the camp.

Hurry up!

Zhan Yan,

forgive me.

You chose this.

If you help me to get the divinity,

the Abyss will not eliminate both of us.

But you keep interfering my plan.

Protect Prime Minister!

Take her down.

Come.

Lu Ji.

General...

Lu Ji!

You demon,

how dare you sneak into our camps!

Finish her off!

Hold on!

We can kill her after interrogation.
