Zhan Yan!

Zhan Yan!

Zhan Yan!

Zhan Yan, please wake up.

Are you alright?

I am fine.

What are you doing here?

I am here to save you.

I saw Prime Minister Jiang's body.

When?

On the day of the peace talks.

When Jiang Wen Qing ordered me to stay in the camp,

I started to look for evidence.

Then, I found Prime Minister Jiang's body

inside his tent.

Godfather has really been killed by him.

What exactly is he trying to do?

Duanmu,

about these things,

I need time to explain to you.

Now that he knows

you've seen Godfather's body,

could the body have been destroyed by now?

The body has been disposed.

Have all the fallen soldiers been buried?

They have been buried immediately

as you instructed, Prime Minister.

Godfather,

why are we in such a rush to bury them?

We haven't even held a funeral...

With the great battle in Chong City coming up,

it's best to keep everything simple

and bury them now.

Taking down Chong City

is the best way to console their souls.

That day,

he hurriedly buried all the soldiers who were killed

in the fight during the peace talks.

I see.

He wanted to get rid of the body in plain view.

He probably mixed

the Prime Minister's body with the fallen soldiers

and buried them together.

Duanmu,

the body is most likely in the cemetery.

If we can find it,

we will be able to unmask Jiang Wen Qing

and stop the battle of Chong City.

The army has marched off.

I am going to Chong City now

to stop Gu Chang and Yang Jian.

I will stop the war.

I will find the Prime Minister's body

and meet you there.

Before that,

you mustn't tip him off.

Tai Ao,

I will say it one last time.

True power

comes from helping the weak,

comes from love.

If a person doesn't know what love is,

then he doesn't deserve to be loved.

If you listen to your father's abetment

and become someone who is cold and heartless,

you will eventually regret it someday.

No one will love you anymore.

You can't get what you really want

by killing and looting.

Do you understand me?

Mother,

the battle of Chong City is inevitable.

I know that

you didn't want any of this to happen.

Unfortunately, the human race has betrayed our trust.

They are not worthy of your defence.

Honey,

don't you worry.

I will keep you and Tai Ao safe.

If anyone dares to bully you,

I will have them all killed.

Mother,

I have failed to protect you.

I made a mistake of trusting the human race,

and it has got you killed.

You will watch me

get the justice for you.

Your Majesty,

Jiang Yi has launched an attack in advance.

Their army is at our doorstep.

I knew they can't be trusted.

Well, in that case,

pass my order

to gather all forces.

We will be prepared for the war!

Yes, Your Majesty.

I picked some fruits on my way

to the mountain for training today.

This kind of fruit is very rare.

It grows around brambles.

It wasn't easy to pick.

You are a general,

but you can't even keep your things tidy.

Look at this,

you don't even put away

clothes that you wore.

You never wear this armour,

can't you fold it?

Mi,

the peace talks are no longer possible for both races.

We have no choice but to go to war.

If I am killed in battle,

we will see each other again in the netherworld.

Every time when I carve your names

on these wooden tags,

I feel like

I am carving every word into my flesh and blood.

All that remains is resentment.

All that remains is reluctance.

I know you all are feeling as resentful as I am,

therefore,

I am taking you with me to the battle!

The battle in Chong City

might be our last battle.

If we win,

I will take you home.

If we lose,

I will see you in the netherworld!

Demon soldiers, on my command,

defeat the human race,

capture Jiang Yi alive.

Attack!

Fire the cannon!

Take down Chong City!

After all this time,

the battle of Chong City has finally begun.

Everything is finally back on track.

My brothers are all here with me,

I am not scared of death!

Come on!

Come on!

Come!

I'm going to kill you!

Gu Chang!

My wife.

Are the flowers on the hills of my hometown

blooming now?

Gu Chang has been tragically killed.

We will call it a day,

let's retreat back to the camp for recuperation.

Godfather!

Retreat!

Gu Chang has died in the battle of Chong City.

Everything is finally back on track.

Once Duanmu Cui leads the battle by bringing his coffin with her,

everything will repeat itself according to history.

The day for me to be granted divinity won't be far off.

Gu Chang.

Gu Chang.

Gu Chang!

Gu Chang!

General! General! General!

General...

General Gu Chang is dead.

Hurry up!

Sister,

leave now!

Sister!

Sister!

Sister!

You want to leave?

It won't be easy.

Wengu,

stop this now.

This is a misunderstanding.

Stop?

It's too late.

It's not my wish to be at war with you either,

but at this point,

demons and humans are bound to fight till the end.

I swear on my life,

give me some time,

I will find out the truth for you.

I will let you leave.

For the sake of the kindness you showed me before,

this time, I will let you go,

consider it a return of gratitude.

General Duanmu,

if we meet again in the next battle,

there will be no more personal relationship involved.

A hero has died before fulfilling his aspirations,

leaving behind the heartache of unfulfilled dreams.

Gu Chang,

you may have died,

but just keep watching,

we will take down Chong City

and make them pay.

Gu Chang,

we will

avenge your death.

Duanmu,

do you see your mistake?

We have lost so many of our own

in the battle of Chong City,

even Mr Yue died in the battlefield.

I am here to see Gu Chang one last time.

To see my brothers who died in vain one last time.

What's wrong with it?

If you hadn't trusted the demons,

none of this would have happened.

Their death could have been prevented.

And you,

I ordered you to stay at the camp.

Yet you disobeyed a military order.

Let me ask you,

were you the one who released Zhan Yan?

What if it was me?

Why are you so afraid of Zhan Yan, Prime Minister?

If Zhan Yan hadn't tipped off the Demon Clan,

the human race wouldn't have suffered heavy losses.

It wasn't him! It's you who...

You are still defending him! You...

Godfather!

Godfather.

Duanmu,

don't talk that way to Godfather.

Godfather,

there's too much going on

these past few days.

She only defied you because she was overwhelmed.

Please don't take offence.

Duanmu.

I understand your pain,

but you have disobeyed a military order.

I can't ignore it.

You...

Godfather,

Duanmu showed up at the battlefield

because she was worried about us.

The human race has lost a lot of soldiers.

We can't afford to lose another general.

Fine.

I will give you a chance

to make up for your mistake.

Three days later,

I order you to lead the battle by bringing the coffin with you

and avenge Gu Chang.

Can you do it?

Zhan Yan hasn't returned with evidence yet.

I can't provoke him now,

it might arouse suspicion.

I will say yes for now,

and figure it out from there.

Yes, Prime Minister.

I will reorganize the army

and launch battle against the Demon Clan as soon as possible.

Excellent.

Everything is under my control.

Godfather.

What else do you want to say?

There are some things I don't understand.

Our race has taken a severe hit,

we should rest and recuperate,

it is undesirable to go into another battle.

Why do you insist that

Duanmu must go to war with the coffin?

The human race has lost a number of generals now.

We must take down Chong City without any more delay.

This is a last resort.

You've always been strategic

and far-sighted,

but you seem a little too impatient

in this battle.

You used to say that

it's often easy to fail

when you are eager for a quick success.

But why did you...

Because time is running out!

Time is running out?

We have been in war for so many years.

Everyone is exhausted.

We all want to go home.

I know that

they are tired of fighting.

However,

the last thing they need

before a battle is being distracted by worries.

If we don't use hatred

to stir up their murderous intent,

we will lose this battle

before it even starts.

Yang Jian,

don't you understand

what I am trying to do here?

In that case,

I would like to lead the battle on behalf of Duanmu

and take down Chong City once and for all.

No.

Duanmu is the one who started this,

she shall be the one to ends this.

Get up!

I am her brother,

it's only right for me to take her place.

Say no more.

I have made up my mind, this is not negotiable.

In just a few days,

why has Godfather changed so much?

He is not your godfather.

The real prime minister is dead.

His body is at...

But can there really be

two people who look exactly alike in the world?

Please allow me to excuse myself.

Zhan Yan.

Zhan Yan, where are you?

Zhan Yan.

Zhan Yan, where are you?

Zhan Yan.

Father,

where are you?

Cui'er!

Cui'er!

Cui'er, where are you?

-Cui'er! -Father.

Mother.

Cui'er.

Mother,

what are you doing here?

Stop crying, Cui'er.

You are the leader of Duanmu Tribe.

You have to be brave.

The future of the tribe

is on your shoulders alone.

I am here to see Father

because I miss him.

Father...

Will he come back?

Your father has gone to a place far, far away.

We will meet him again

there many years later.

It's just that there are still many important things that

we have not yet completed.

You have to promise me that

you mustn't indulge yourself in pleasure.

You must take responsibility of the tribe.

I understand.

They are here.

Mother, I am scared.

Don't be,

I am right here.

Let me out!

Let me out!

No!

Let me out!

No!

Let me out!

No!

I couldn't save you,

I couldn't save myself either.

I am not good enough to be your general.

I can't find Zhan Yan

nor the evidence.

I can't stop the great battle.

Zhan Yan,

is it you?

Zhan Yan,

is it you?

Zhan Yan!

Zhan Yan!

Zhan Yan!

What's wrong with you?

I found it.

What did you find?

Godfather.

Godfather.

Wen Qing.

Wen Qing.

Wen Qing. Wen Qing.

Wen Qing.

Wen Qing.

Wen Qing.

Wen Qing.

Madam Jiang!

Madam Jiang!

Wen Qing.

Wen Qing.

Godmother!

Wen Qing.

Wen Qing.

Godmother.

Godmother, what's wrong with you?

Wen Qing.

What happened here?

The aura of death has eroded the mind of

the maid who serves Madam Jiang.

She tried to attack Madam Jiang.

Fortunately, Madam Jiang is uninjured.

Godmother,

how are you feeling?

Godmother.

Wen Qing.

Godmother!

Godmother! Godmother!

How is she?

Don't worry, sir.

She just passed out

from the shock just now.

Thank goodness.

Miss He Xue,

thank you for your help.

If it wasn't for you,

I'm afraid that my godmother would have been hurt.

You are welcome.

It's the least I can do.

Actually, we have been

looking for ways

to alleviate the aura of death in Qifeng.

Miss He Xue,

you'd better stay.

You are definitely

safer in Qifeng than out there.

Perhaps

staying in Qifeng City is safer for me,

but a demon could become

a greater threat to the civilians

if I am tainted by the aura of death.

I can't be so selfish

just to keep myself safe.

He Xue,

I am touched

by your concern for others.

But I am the magistrate of Qifeng.

I can't just give up all the demons in Qifeng

because they can be more powerful and more threatening

when they are affected by the aura of death.

Miss He Xue.

Please stay.

You are my friend.

I will...

We will protect you.

We will also protect other demons.

Lord Shangguan, I am grateful that

you are treating us equally.

But the more so,

the more I shouldn't trouble you.

I have little ability.

The only thing I can do

is to persuade demons who are close to me

to leave Qifeng City

and get away from the civilians of Qifeng for now.

One day, when Qifeng is rid of the aura of death,

we will come back here.

Being able to become your friend, Lord Shangguan,

I have no more regret.

This quill

is made from the feather of my original form.

The quill contains the magic of the crane clan.

The words written with it will never fade.

Your works will last for generations.

This is

a gift for me?

It's a parting gift.

Thank you.

I will treasure it.

Sir,

this is goodbye.

I will take care of myself.

Please

take good care of yourself too.

If you want her to stay, just ask.

You are turning into a wife-yearning rock.

Divine Lord.

Do you think I can't see it?

You obviously like her.

You couldn't even look away

when you saw her.

It's embarrassing, Divine Lord.

It's a pity that...

Now you can only pray that Duanmu will bring back

the antidote from the Abyss as soon as possible.

Once the aura of death is gone,

she will come back.

Divine Lord, why are you

wearing a jade pendant engraved with

the name of Sect Leader Duanmu?

Are you doing the same thing as I do,

carving names all over the wall in room,

so that you won't forget Sect Leader Duanmu?

Of course not.

I would never use such crude trick.

About this jade pendant,

I am thinking that

when Duanmu comes back from the Abyss,

I should give her a welcome gift.

So, I am planning

to give this jade pendant to her.

I only hope that

these names can last longer.

Zhan Yan,

what is wrong with your body?

You have been hiding it from me.

How long have you been suffered in silence?

The people around me

are leaving me one after another.

Zhan Yan,

I don't want to lose you too.

Zhan Yan,

you're awake.

Do you feel sick?

Don't worry.

I am fine.

But your body...

Duanmu,

about this,

I will explain it to you next time.

Right now, I just want to know

how did it go in Chong City?

Zhan Yan,

I couldn't stop it.

What exactly happened?

I got there too late.

The great battle has already begun.

Gu Chang, Mr Yue

and many other soldiers,

they are all...

Dead.

Duanmu,

I have found the Prime Minister's body.

His body is not damaged.

Let's go testify against Jiang Wen Qing now

and stop his schemes.

So, that body in the cemetery

really belonged to Godfather?

Who on earth is that man?

What exactly does he have against Godfather?

Why did he kill him?
