Mubai.

Watch out!

Stop!

Mubai.

Mubai.

Are you OK?

I’m fine.

Don't worry.

Master,

what exactly is this

Power of Whisper?

Power of Whisper

is my master’s blessing.

Even amateurs,

endowed with this power

can become skilled masters.

If the entire force of Liu Territory

acquires this power,

it can take over

Mu Territory effortlessly.

The solution you proposed yesterday

is to have our soldiers

be blessed, too?

Correct.

No way!

It’s not a blessing

but a curse.

They're no longer humans!

Those two are too weak

to absorb such great power.

That’s why they became insane.

They’ll recover after some time.

Don’t worry.

How do I know if you’re telling the truth?

I can’t stake Liu Territory’s future.

This kind of evil power

is better to be abandoned.

I’m saying this for your good.

This way, your cooperation with the Dragon Clan

won't be a problem.

No one will oppose to it.

Father,

don't listen to him.

He doesn't care about our territory at all.

Young Master Liu,

calm down,

or you’ll be dizzy again.

Mubai.

Mubai.

It’s you!

You did this, didn't you?

It's called Soul Devouring Poison.

Without activating it,

he’ll only feel woozy

but his life is guaranteed.

Lord Liu,

I’m giving you a way out.

As you can see,

if your men absorb this power,

you’ll gain a foothold

not only in Beiling

but in the entire world.

Besides,

aren’t you worried about your son?

Father,

I’m fine.

It’s OK.

I’ll give you some time to consider.

Before you make up your mind,

I don’t want more people to get wind of this.

The Great Ruler

Episode 11

Father,

you mentioned that Mr. Tang

pretends to cooperate with Liu Territory.

I’ll agree to ally with Liu Qingtian

to gain his trust,

and then marry Qian’er into the Liu’s

so that she and Mubai can get married.

Our engagement still exists.

Their marriage right now

is the best insurance.

You’re bold.

Aren’t you afraid of death?

You infiltrated into the enemies’ base

along with Qian'er.

You’re bolder than me.

Mr. Tang,

you saw what happened

in that hall.

I didn’t expect No-Face Taoist would do that.

Would Mr. Liu agree to his condition?

Hard to say.

If the entire Liu force

gains that power,

we’ll have no chance to win.

Power of Whisper isn’t too much trouble

but Liu Mubai

is poisoned.

We must save him.

You can handle that power?

Trust me,

Mr. Tang.

OK.

You and your father are always resourceful.

I trust you.

What do you need me to do?

An elite squad

will be dispatched from Mu Territory

to attack support units of Liu,

but they’ll fail and be caught

and be imprisoned in the capital.

Once the time is right,

they’ll break out of jail

and launch the attack from the inside

to capture Liu Qingtian and No-Face Taoist

to end the war for good.

Distraction

and ambush.

Brilliant!

Mu Chen,

you need my help to release

the captured,

right?

Exactly.

You overestimate me.

I’m simply a guest here.

How could I free them from jail?

Also,

Liu soldiers hate your men’s guts.

How can you be sure

that they’ll be brought back

instead of being killed instantly.

You have a point.

To make the plan work,

we also need other help.

Liu Mubai?

Yes.

Father.

It’s useless.

I've heard of

this Soul Devouring Poison.

It’s connected with the poisoner’s power.

Either No-Face Taoist removes it himself

or the victim dies.

There’s

no other solutions.

I’m so useless.

I’m so sorry.

Don’t say that.

You did nothing wrong.

It’s all that Taoist's fault.

You cannot work with him.

You're my only son.

My life is worthless.

Millions of the clansmen

are the foundation of our land.

I know what to do.

Come in.

Master.

Am I interrupting you?

Lord Liu,

you came in the middle of the night.

I assume you've made your decision.

Yes.

I’ll follow your lead.

From now on,

I’ll depend on you.

That’s right.

You have to depend on me.

Lord Liu,

killing me isn’t as easy as you thought.

If you try to sneak up on others,

remember to hide your power first.

Or, they’ll see through it instantly.

If I die,

you won’t get out of here alive.

Lord Liu,

I know you have tons of skilled guards.

If they strike me together,

I can’t beat them all.

But if I die in your place,

my master will seek revenge.

When that time comes,

there will be no man standing here.

I know you're eager to save your son,

but killing me

will only make things worse.

I think a smart man like you

should know that.

Leave.

Uncle. Master.

What brings you here?

We’re patrolling.

Thanks for your service.

Were you attacked on the way?

We met

a few stragglers

and crushed them easily.

You’re indeed capable.

I’m sure your father

will be proud of you in heaven.

I’ll wipe out all those Mu scums

to avenge my father’s death.

Liu Yang,

you did well.

You can go back and rest.

Uncle,

I can go with you.

No, thanks.

Go back.

Yes.

Those grains are shipping to Xiong City tomorrow,

right?

Yes.

If you have a plan,

better execute it now.

Mu Chen?

What are you waiting for?

Let me in.

Or I’ll be caught.

Is that what you want?

Come in.

Why are you here?

I know

you’re poisoned.

You shouldn’t have come.

I know

but I have to.

What do you want?

I’m here as an envoy

to talk you into working with me

against No-Face Taoist.

My father trusts him a lot.

Working against him

is working against my father.

I’m his heir.

That gives you more reason

to help me.

Or you’d rather see your father,

you

and all your people

become the walking dead?

You saw everything?

Yes.

Mubai,

your father is willing to

do anything for you.

Wait here for me.

Don't go anywhere.

Father!

Father!

Father!

Father!

Follow me.

Luo Li!

Luo Li!

Calm down.

Let’s go!

No.

I must get her out.

No-Face Taoist will be here anytime.

If you die,

who will save her?

Go.

Let’s go.

Are you alright, Master?

I’m fine.

False alarm.

Should the security be tightened?

No need.

Leave it as usual.

It's already late.

Lord Liu,

let’s continue tomorrow.

Yes.

Please.

We aren’t exposed.

I'm sorry.

I was reckless.

I should be the one to apologize.

I didn’t know Luo Li is caught.

If I were you

and Qian’er were the one there,

I’d lose my calm, too.

You and Qian’er

are getting engaged, aren’t you?

Yes.

I should prepare gift money for you. Congrats!

She doesn’t even want to look at me

and she accuses me of helping the evil.

What happened?

We owe the Mus.

Liu Qingtian

is my father after all.

I can’t disobey him.

I'm sorry.

I can’t help you.

But to me,

you’ll always be my friend.

Take care.

Mother,

I swear

I’ll get back what we lost.

Stop!

Mubai, from now on,

I’ll take care of your meals.

Remember,

you can only eat what I give you.

Don’t eat anything else.

Liu Yang!

Lord Liu!

Lord Liu!

What happened to those soldiers and servants?

Qian'er and I...

Lord Tang,

don’t worry.

I've arranged meals

for you and your daughter.

Don't be afraid.

Relax.

Lord Liu!

Lord Liu!

Liu Qingtian caved so quickly.

How spineless!

Under this circumstance,

it’s unlikely

to proceed with your plan.

Those monsters

won’t have mercy on prisoners.

Mr. Tang,

the odds are against us

but there’s still hope.

My plan is still doable.

Those demonized soldiers

are unable to think.

That’s why they need a leader.

You still haven’t given up on Mubai?

I thought he already rejected you.

He did

but I still

have faith in him.

He’s loyal

so he can’t act against his father’s will.

I’m sure

he won’t sit and do nothing

and allow his clansmen

to become like that.

You must act fast.

We're surrounded by monsters.

Danger is lurking.

Mr. Tang,

I know what to do.

It’s just that

I need to do something else first.

Humans can be surprisingly intimidating.

That’s because of the Power of Whisper, isn’t it?

No-Face,

are you sure you can control them?

Rest assured.

They're like my puppies.

So, Mo Xingtian,

do you want to be blessed?

No, thanks.

That’s too much for me.

Luo Li!

Hang in there.

Luo Li!

Look at me.

Luo Li!

Mu Chen?

Forget about me.

Go now!

Luo Li!

I won't leave without you.

Luo Li.

It hurts, doesn’t it?

Once we’re back, you can hit me

till I’m as painful as you are now.

But now,

I have to get you out.

Where are you taking my Goddess?

Mu Chen,

there's no way out.

Just give in.

Jiuyou!

Mu Chen?

Impressive!

Let me have a try.

It’s right under my nose.

Mo Xingtian,

step back.

Mu Chen,

I’m surprised that you have a magic beast.

Interesting.

Jiuyou!

Don't bother.

My spell can drain all beings’ power.

It's perfect to tame your beast.

Mu Chen.

Leave without me.

No way.

I promised to protect you.

I won’t abandon you.

Kill him.

Wait!

Liu Mubai,

stay out of this.

Go back.

Mu Chen!

Mu Chen!

Mu Chen!

Mu Chen!

Mu Chen!

Young Master Liu

did an excellent job.

I’m shocked that you could kill him.

I’ve promised my father,

so I won’t go back on my word.

I eliminated

an enemy.

Well said.

I’m really impressed.

Guards!

Hang Mu Chen’s body up on the wall

for everyone to see.

Hold on.

Master,

may I make a request?

Although we’re on opposite sides

and anyone can die,

he and I

used to study together.

We were friends.

I want him to die with dignity.

Allow me to handle his body, Master.

Fine.

You’re a good friend.

I’ll grant your request.

Thank you, Master.

Mu Chen!

Mu Chen!

Wake up, Mu Chen.

Mu Chen!

Mu Chen!

He’s already dead.

Liu Mubai,

how could you do this?

We're in war.

He was an enemy.

I couldn’t have mercy on him.

Qian’er.

Mubai,

are you OK?

Why didn’t you dodge?

If hitting me can make you feel better,

I’m willing to bear the pain.

You saw Mu Chen’s body yourself?

I did.

I examined it myself.

He was stabbed deeply in the abdomen.

Then he stopped breathing and lost his pulse.

He couldn't be more dead.

You did well.

Thank you.

Now that, Mu Chen is out of the picture,

should we carry on the plan?

Qing Yanjing’s husband is still alive.

Wipe out the Mu Territory.

Don’t leave anyone out.

Yes.

Seeing your love dying in front of you

is painful, isn’t it?

Stop struggling.

You’ll soon be painless

and reunite with him.

Squads dispatched today

suffer a heavy loss.

Liu soldiers are acting strangely

as if they were monsters.

The Dragon Clan joins the battle, too.

If this continues,

we’ll soon collapse.

I was shocked, too,

so I tried to fish information out of the captive.

But...

What’s wrong?

See for yourself.

Bring him in.

Evil Deity...

This is Evil Deity's Power of Whisper.

It’s written in ancient books.

5,000 years ago, Evil Deity

used this power to manipulate the masses.

It seems that

all our theories are proven to be true.

Mu Feng,

we must win this war

and inform all other clans

that Evil Deity is back.

Lord!

What's wrong?

Young Master is...

Mr. Tang.

Mubai?

Why are you here?

I want to ask you the same thing.

Mu Feng and I are friends.

Mu Chen is his only child.

I want to bring his body back

so that his father can see him one last time.

Why didn’t you say that earlier?

I want to keep a low profile in front of

that Taoist in case of any trouble.

Alright.

Now, it’s your turn to tell me

why you’re here.

Mubai,

you don’t need to

hide anything from me.

I’m your father-in-law.

Mubai,

you must be here for a reason.

If you don’t believe me,

I’ll leave right now

and I won’t tell anyone

about our encounter here.

Mr. Tang,

you said you and Uncle Mu are friends.

Are you willing to

take risks for your friend?

Of course.

Chen!

Slowly.

Mubai,

that really hurts.

Since your first visit,

I’ve known

this would happen anytime,

so I brought Scorpion Poison with me.

This poison could stop your breathing

and slow down your heartbeat to once per hour.

You’d be like dead.

Hadn’t I stabbed you,

No-face Taoist wouldn’t have bought it.

So you two put on a show.

So,

can you take my offer now?

Mr. Tang was also aware of

me coming back to Mu Territory.

What?

In that case,

you brought up the engagement...

Exactly.

Mubai,

you're a good kid.

No matter what happens,

you’ll always be my son-in-law.

General Mo.

What is this?

My daughter and Mubai

will soon get engaged.

I’m preparing the dowry.

Lord Tang,

please don’t take it to heart.

In wartime,

we can’t be careful enough.

After all,

Mu Chen already sneaked in once.

I understand.

You don’t need to explain it.

Mubai.

Bear with it.

This is for your safety

and to avoid suspicion.

What’s your plan to take care of that Taoist?

What do you need me to do?

You said you wouldn’t help me, didn’t you?

Just let it go.

I acted against my conscience to help my father

only for the sake of Liu Territory,

but I made a mistake.

I regretted it.

Before I reveal my plan,

I have two things

to tell you first.

I’m listening.

First,

it’s true that I can purify

those men who’re possessed by the evil power.

However,

during the process,

an enormous amount of power

will be drained from their bodies.

I’m afraid few people

can handle that.

You mean

they’ll die?

100%?

Even if they’re free from Evil Deity’s control,

they can barely stay alive.

Right now,

they’re merely a bunch of walking dead

with no spirit

or dignity.

They’ve become demonized

murder weapons.

I’ll take it.

Fine.

Second one

is the poison in your body.

Not a big deal.

My people’s lives are on the line.

Mine doesn’t matter.

It might not matter to you,

but it does to others.

Think about your father

and Qian’er.

To accomplish one thing

means to sacrifice others.

My father owes you.

I'm his son,

so I’ll repay his debt.

Liu Mubai!

Mu Chen,

you’re too soft-hearted, you know?

If our positions switched,

you might not be able to

stab me.

Guess we’ve reached a consensus.

So,

what’s your plan?

Nothing new yet?

Still haven’t found Chen’s body?

Not yet.

There’s nothing new.

No body?

Then Chen is still alive!

Lord Mu.

Lord Mu.

Lord Mu.

Lord Tang’s letter.

Chen is still alive!

There’s another great news.

Zhou Ye,

gather the force.

It’s time to set out.

Yes.

Jiuyou!

Jiuyou!

Jiuyou!

Jiuyou!

I’m here.

You scared me to death.

I was looking for you everywhere.

I was asleep.

What's with the fuss?

That No-Face Taoist

took out all my power.

His spell

can suppress us easily.

You're too weak.

Yeah.

I’ll take it over from here.

You can go back and rest.

What will you do?

I’ll practice the Desolate Formation.

Luo Li is still in that Taoist’s hands.

Our fight is inevitable.

His spell surpasses ours,

but I can adopt another method.

Problem is

the Desolate Formation

can harm the enemy

as well as the formation builder.

I don’t want to

see you get hurt, too.

I’d rather die with him

than being killed by him.

Even if I asked you to abandon Luo Li,

would you agree?

Jiuyou,

thank you.

Mubai,

this time, you don’t need to join the battle.

Got it?

Father,

this is our battle.

I can’t hide behind others.
