[Mirror: A Tale of Twin Cities]

[Episode 17]

Cangliu people have sent another sound pearl,

informing us that they will viciously strike again tonight.

Previously, whenever our tribe's people were endangered, we would dispatch troops to give aid.

Now, we're told to do nothing but wait.

- I don't have such patience! - Elders!

We merpeople are loyal and always keep our promises, so please believe in Young Master.

It's not that we don't believe in Young Master,

it's that Young Master doesn't believe in us.

He said that the person holding the Heavenly Ring

is as important as us.

Have many lives have we already lost?

Elder Yu, Na Sheng is just a person from the Central Plains, not a Kongsang person.

She got involved because she obtained the Heavenly Ring by coincidence.

Besides, she not only helped Kongsang, but she also helped us.

Are we going to commit treachery?

The killing has come so far,

do you think we have another way around this?

I have lived a thousand years.

I know Quanxian is now in a desperate situation.

Elders, please head back.

Elder, did you call me here to ask me to do something?

Are you so ruthless

to do nothing when you clearly know that Quanxian is suffering?

I want you to tell me what the person who has the Heavenly Ring looks like

and where she is now.

Elder, are you going to use—

Good child, protect our people.

Stay here. You still have many important things to do.

You're hungry, right? Just wait a bit longer.

For the fish we catch today, do you want to steam or grill them?

I don't want to eat.

Did you fail to pass through the wall and knock your head again?

No.

Then what is it?

Why doesn't Yan Xi come to see me?

Don't ask me.

Does he not want me? From now on, does he want to go our separate ways?

No, Kongsang and Quanxian have an alliance now, so a separation won't happen.

Since we're in an alliance, why doesn't he come to see me?

You need to be considerate of him.

Once he returned to the camp, he was no longer only your Yan Xi.

Firstly, he's the Left Commissioner of the Quanxian army. Those in the army must obey military orders.

Besides, if Su Mo doesn't say so, how would he come?

Besides, it's just been a few days of not seeing each other.

Restrain yourself a bit.

What are you doing? You're scaring all my fish away.

If he doesn't come to see me, I'll go to see him.

Go then.

Can you even get into the water? Catch a few fish for me.

I don't care, I don't care! I want to go see him and ask why he hasn't come to see me.

Brother Crown Prince and Sister Bai Ying have both come to see me. Only he hasn't come, don't you think it's illogical?

Zhen Lan told me to look after you, so don't even think about going anywhere, not to mention going to see Yan Xi.

Why?

There's no why. Stay here.

Uncle, I don't want to eat fish today. I want to eat roasted chicken.

Where would we go to get roasted chicken?

I've eaten fish so much, I'm sick of it. I haven't had roasted chicken in so long.

Plus, you are so skilled, so catching a chicken is nothing difficult. Right?

Half a day has passed and I haven't caught any fish. Now that you say this, I'm indeed hungry.

Fine.

You stay right here. Stay here, be good, and you'll have chicken to eat.

All right, all right. I'll be here, training. I won't go anywhere.

Let's go see Yan Xi, let's go see Yan Xi.

You must be Miss Na Sheng from the Central Plains, right?

Y-You are...?

I am Elder Yu of the Quanxian Tribe.

Elder Yu?

You are indeed a merperson,

but how are you going to prove that you are Elder Yu?

Look. This is my Quanxian necklace.

That's right, that's right. It's quite similar to Yan Xi's necklace.

What do you think?

Here.

I didn't lie to you, right?

I'm sorry, Elder Yu. Uncle Xi Jing usually tells me to be extra careful,

so that's why I asked some questions.

Elder Yu, why didn't Yan Xi come to see me himself?

He's very busy right now.

Young Master entrusted him with an important task.

He can't leave for the time being,

but in his heart, he really misses you.

So he told me to come and take you to go see him today.

See him today? I can go see Yan Xi?

That's right.

- Then all right! Let's go now. Let's go. - All right.

Miss Na Sheng, I'm sorry.

I'm doing this for the Quanxian tribe.

Elder Yu, what does Yan Xi usually tell you about me?

He talks about you every day.

Na Sheng is in trouble. Na Sheng is in trouble!

Your Highness, Na Sheng is in trouble.

High Priest, quickly use the Water Mirror to find out Na Sheng's location.

Help! Help! Help!

What are you shouting about?

Elder Yu.

Why did you come?

I was worried. Cangliu people are full of tricks.

I can't let you face them by yourself.

Is she all right?

She fainted, that's all. Let's quickly go.

Did you already reach an agreement with the Cangliu people?

I notified Master Peng to meet me at the Ten Mile Pavilion.

When we get there, you'll hide with her first.

Wait until Master Peng and I make a blood pact before you come out.

If he's not willing to make the pact, take her with you and leave.

- Then what about you? - You don't need to worry about me.

As expected, we can't form an alliance with the Quanxian Tribe.

They faked the alliance and took advantage of us when we let our guards down

to take the Heavenly Ring directly to the Cangliu people.

They broke their promise again, so detestable.

That Quanxian elder dares to do such a thing surely because Su Mo ordered him to do so behind the scene.

Cangliu already spread the news that

Cangliu and Quanxian have already formed an alliance.

- Impossible. - Why not?

Back then, at the Jing Pagoda,

- his actions were just as detestable as now. - Prince Xuan,

I already told you not to mention the past again.

Besides, there's no conclusion on this matter yet.

Why are you speculating?

The priority now is to rescue Na Sheng and bring her back.

Your Highness, I will go rescue Na Sheng.

We will go, too.

All right, go rescue Na Sheng.

I will go to the Quanxian Great Camp to personally ask Su Mo for an explanation.

You must be careful.

Na Sheng, I caught a chicken.

Na Sheng.

Na Sheng!

Na Sheng!

This is bad. That little girl tricked me.

Could it be that she went to look for Na Sheng?

I must notify Yan Xi immediately.

Yan Xi!

General Xi Jing,

why are you here?

We were just on our way to go see Na Sheng.

She didn't come here to look for you?

Xi Jing!

Your Highness, why are you here?

- Na Sheng is in trouble. - What do you mean?

In the Water Mirror, I saw a Quanxian elder take her away.

Could it be Elder Yu?

Why did you betray Na Sheng?

Cangliu threatened the merpeople. If they don't hand over Na Sheng, they will kill the imprisoned merpeople.

We have no intentions of breaking the alliance and betraying Na Sheng.

- Where's Su Mo? - He's in seclusion.

Seclusion?

You still ended up summoning me.

Do you think you can suppress me by using

the power of six harmonies?

Aren't you still relying on my power now?

These past few months, whether it be the blood you shed

or the people who have died,

it's much more than the past few decades. Right?

What do you think, Su Mo?

I will help you take care of them.

Give me your power.

The Splitting Technique.

Elder Yu.

I'm Cangliu General Yu Huan, here under the order of Master Peng.

I asked to see Master Peng.

There is no need for Master Peng to be here personally to hand a person over.

If we hand over the person holding the Heavenly Ring,

you will stop all killings, is that correct?

Of course. We only want the person holding the Heavenly Ring.

We have no intentions of implicating Quanxian.

A verbal agreement is not reliable.

Then I wonder what will cause Elder Yu to trust me.

To show our sincerity, we brought a few merpeople here.

Where's your Young Master? I need to see him immediately regarding urgent matters.

We have no intention of offending you.

Move aside.

Who is it?

Who are you? Why did you trespass in our Quanxian Camp?

I am the Kongsang Crown Prince, Zhen Lan.

You are the Kongsong Crown Prince?

Our Young Master instructed us that he will not see anyone while in seclusion. Please go back.

Is it Su Mo's order to take Na Sheng to Cangliu?

If it was not,

how can you make an unauthorized decision

and why is Su Mo avoiding us?

This is the power of the Splitting Technique.

You are just like those who want to covet the power,

choosing to destroy themselves.

You won't understand what I want at all.

Go!

Then let's make a blood pact to ensure the promise.

If anyone violates the pact, Heaven will punish him.

- The blood pact has been made. - The blood pact has been made.

Release them.

You can hand over the person holding the Heavenly Ring now.

Bring her here.

You! What are you trying to do?

Elder Yu!

Yu Huan, I cast a blood pact.

Are you really not afraid?

Yu Huan!

It's just a small blood pact. You can handle it, right?

Leave!

This way!

Quickly!

Yan Xi!

Other than the person possessing the Heavenly Ring,

kill the rest.

Where's the strongest power in Jing City?

Yan Xi, leave now and protect Na Sheng.

Lan Xia, escort them.

Leave!

Let's go! Hurry and leave!

Let's go!

Lan Xia. Na Sheng.

- Your Highness. General Xi Jing. - Brother Crown Prince.

- What happened? - Brother Crown Prince, hurry and rescue Sister Bai Ying.

They seem to have been captured by Cangliu.

Cangliu is well-prepared.

We can't break through from here.

It seems this magic cloak is losing its effectiveness.

The Splitting Technique.

A'Ying. Sister Hong Yuan. What's wrong with you?

Your Highness, this is the Lapis Lazuli formation, especially used to subdue Kongsong powers.

How is that happening?

Kongsong powers will all be absorbed in here.

Who is he? Why does he know the Splitting Technique, too?

Why was he able to absorb my powers

and transform into his dark power?

Who is he?

Such a degenerate.

The Emperor of the Sea

even practices this kind of spell.

Young Master, in order to rescue Na Sheng, the Kongsang princes

have been trapped by Cangliu.

Please leave your seclusion and rescue them.

Princess Bai Ying and Crown Prince Zhen Lan are trapped.

Young Master, please leave your seclusion.

Emperor of the Sea, you must not continue to cast spells.

Outside the seven seas, I can already sense the power of the backlash growing viciously.

If you cast another spell, you won't be able to endure it

and lose your life.

Emperor of the Sea.

I really...

cannot watch all this

happen again.

I will try again...

to see if I can summon some dark clouds.

I'm so useless.

My powers are low.

I cannot even cover the sunlight.

I'm so useless.

Your Highness,

this is not your fault.

It's just that we may...

not be able...

to accompany you to unlock the rest of the Six Direction Seals.

No, A'Ying.

Your Highness, please...

bury me beside my royal father.

A'Ying, I won't allow anything to happen to you.

I won't allow you to die.

If you die,

all this...

all this would be pointless.

Your Highness,

may Heaven bless Kongsang.

No. No, A'Ying.

A'Ying! A'Ying!

Master,

this person...

is the one whom I am most unwilling to lose.

We've succeeded. We've succeeded, A'Ying.

We've succeeded.

What are we waiting for? Let's leave right away. Let's go.

Older Sister Hong Yuan.

A'Huan! What happened to him?

The general was harmed by a Quanxian blood pact.

Master Peng had us bring the general back first.

Quanxian blood pact?

- Bring him up. - Yes.

I beg Lord Zhi Zhe to save Yu Huan.

Yu Huan is under a Quanxian blood pact and is in imminent danger.

I beg Lord Zhi Zhe to save Yu Huan!

Quanxian blood pact...

appears once again.

Why is there such a big fire?

I also do not know how this fire started.

That fire is so malefic, no matter what, it won't be extinguished!

General, it is too dangerous here. You should quickly leave.

You go organize people to fight the fire.

Yes.

Help us! Save us!

Help! Please save us!

Quickly come out! It's the young master.

- The Emperor of the sea has come to save us. - Go to the mountain.

Quick! Use the water route to return to the great camp!

Slowly, A'Huan.

A'Hua, didn't you accompany Master Peng to catch the person possessing the Heavenly Ring?

Why were you harmed by a Quanxian blood pact?

Fortunately, Master Peng sent you back in time.

Yu Huan, I cast a blood pact.

Are you really not afraid?

It's just a small blood pact.

You can handle it, right?

Isn't that in the direction of the Cangliu military camp?

Why is it on fire?

What exactly

happened here?

Elders, Xiang sent a message.

The Cangliu Wind Falcon Storehouse has been burned down and their Wind Falcons have been destroyed.

The Cangliu military camp is in chaos.

Xiang has already rescued our people.

The Wind Falcon Storehouse has been burned down.

Young Master succeeded!

It's good that they've been saved.

Now that everyone is saved, that's great.

High Priest.

Princess Bai...

has not fully recovered from when she saved the Emperor of the Sea last time.

This time...

it is one injury on top of another.

That is why she has not woken up yet.

Hurry and think of a solution.

Reporting to Young Master, I have urgent matters to tell you.

The Wind Falcons of the Cangliu Military Camp have been destroyed.

All of our tribesmen have been saved.

Master.

The emperor has suffered serious injuries. I'm healing him right now.

Could it be...

Young Master who destroyed the Wind Falcons at the Cangliu military camp?

The Emperor of the Sea has not woken up yet.

You shall take care of the camp affairs for now.

Master, please treat Young Master's injury

so that he can awaken soon.

Quanxian cannot go on without the Emperor of the Sea.

Yan Xi, I don't want to separate from you again.

Commissioner of the Left.

They're here, they're here. They're here to take me.

They won't.

Come in.

Left Commissioner, Right Commissioner cannot hang on much longer.

What?

Na Sheng, I must go see Han Zhou.

Then can I go with you? I want to see him, too.

Let's go.

Hang on for a bit longer. Quick, give me some cloth.

Han Zhou.

Han Zhou.

I'm sorry.

I have done all I can.

Good thing...

we didn't make a huge mistake.

Miss Na Sheng,

Elder Yu...

has already died.

Are you willing to forgive us?

I-I meant...

I don't blame you at all.

Where's Young Master?

Young Master is still unconscious.

Master Ming Hua is wielding power to save him right now.

Don't worry.

We've rescued all the other tribesmen.

That's good then.

That's good then.

Yan Xi.

All this time,

you've always been a step ahead of me.

But this time,

I may have to go first.

You must lead Quanxian

to return to Biluo Sea.

You must.

I definitely will.

Ning Liang.

I know that...

you were only acting on a sudden grievance

and gave Cangliu an exploiting chance.

From now on, you must listen to Yan Xi.

Obey the Young Master.

Don't be too impulsive.

Also, don't be too reckless.

Don't cry.

Don't blame yourself.

Live a good life.

I will watch over you from Heaven.

Han Zhou is...

His marking has disappeared.

Even if I'm to use my one life in exchange for two of them, it's worth it.

It's not worth it!

Can you please cherish yourself?

What's wrong with you?

Ning Liang, I hope we can return to the Biluo Sea together.

Of course.

Han Zhou, w-what's the matter with you?

I'm fine.

- Why are you here? - I was worried about you.

Han Zhou!

Han Zhou!

Han Zhou.

[Records of Heroic Souls]

[Han Zhou]

I hope you will be relieved of all the shackles

and fly toward the sky.

Return to the sea and rest in peace.

[Han Zhou]

A'Ying, when will you wake up?

When I saw you getting burned by the sunlight

and I was unable to help,

I was really anxious.

A'Ying, I won't allow anything to happen to you.

I won't allow you to die.

If you die, all this...

All this would be pointless.

Your Highness, may Heaven bless

Kongsang.

A'Ying, you must wake up.

I still have things...

I haven't told you.

Your Highness.

- What is it? - There's news from Jing CIty.

Yesterday, the Wind Falcon Storehouse of the Cangliu Military Camp was burned down.

All the Wind Falcons were destroyed, and there were many casualties.

Without these Wind Falcons, Cangliu is much weaker.

This is great.

In that case, we will be much safer in our movements from now on.

What exactly happened?

They say it was a strange fire that could not be extinguished no matter what was done.

Heaven has truly blessed Kongsang.

Let's go!

Are these two incidents a coincidence?

Did I really call forth the cloud and rain?

High Priest.

High Priest, wake up.

What happened with last night's fire at the Cangliu Military Camp?

What do you mean what happened?

High Priest, stop being sleepy.

Think hard.

This is very important.

Yesterday, I indeed saw

a dragon-shaped shadow

going toward the sky above Jing City.

With another dragon-shaped

shadow coming from the military camp, they met up

and broke through a barrier to become one

and go straight to the Jing Pagoda.

High Priest, wake up. High Priest?

- High Priest? - Who was it exactly?

Who possesses such a great force?

Did I use my power to cause the lightning and thunder?

Or did this force bring them?
