Episode 49

23

I want to live like an ordinary person... with you forever.

24

But heaven won't always give you what you want. Now, Suoluo is in great danger.

25

How can I leave my country in this puzzled state?

26

I have to go back. I have to personally make my older brother explain.

27

And you should go back to Tang first.

28

I'm sure we will meet again if we're really fated to.

29

I just found you and you just remembered me. And now, you want me to leave here alone?

30

What do you mean by this?

31

Do I mean nothing to you? Or are you starting to despise me?

32

Of course not!

33

Listen, Mu Le.

34

Although there are so many people in the world,

35

I will never leave again.

36

I met you and I married you.

37

It was meant to be.

38

And I won't leave you.

39

Fine.

40

We won't separate from each other again.

41

She actually used death to resist me.

42

A woman with vigorous nature!

43

That traitor removed the nails on Ying's scapula.

44

Now, Ying and Ye Yuan'an are coming back for revenge.

45

What are you afraid of?

46

My friend, I have eight of the nine Divine Beads.

47

What can they do after stealing away one single bead?

48

You're right.

49

We'll just block off whatever punches they throw at us.

50

And, if they do not come back, how could we get back the last bead we need?

51

Sorry to bother you, sir. I wonder what special day it is today.

52

Where are all these people going?

53

You don't know?

54

It's Queen Tuoyue's funeral.

55

These people are going to say their goodbye.

56

My dearest mother,

57

may your body and soul flow away with the sacred river.

58

You were revered by the people in this kingdom when you were alive.

59

Now, you will live in their memories.

60

Rest in peace.

61

I promise to rule Suoluo well,

62

love and protect each of its citizens.

63

Of course, I will also surely find the murderer who took your life,

64

to bring you true comfort.

65

Mother, I come here to say goodbye.

66

I will take down the murderer

67

and bring my brother back to the path of righteousness.

68

Look! Why are there two people by the river?

69

And that man looks familiar.

70

It seems to be Prince Ying!

71

- What? Prince Ying?

- He's back?

72

- Prince Ying is back!

- He killed his own mother.

73

Ying?

74

He is a murderer! It's him!

75

How dare he come back here?!

76

- It is Prince Ying indeed!

- Murderer!

77

How cheeky!

78

You are a murderer who killed his mother!

79

I can't believe you dare show up here.

80

If he was the murderer, why would he be standing here?

81

Brother! Repent your wrongdoings now until it's too late.

82

I come back here to tell everybody the truth.

83

The truth?

84

The truth is that you, without any permission, used the Divine Beads to conduct misdeeds.

85

You killed our mother, a queen of mercy!

86

Heng, you've now gotten what you want.

87

You have the Divine Beads

88

and you have the Suoluo Kingdom!

89

You finally have become the king of Suoluo!

90

Not only of Suoluo.

91

Now, with the Divine Beads, I am the king of the world!

92

Did you see that?

93

This is what you call a benevolent king!

94

He laughs out loud for his plan to gain the world

95

when his mother has just died!

96

Brother, you conspired with wicked people and refused to mend your ways.

97

Even employing sinister tricks to drove me away.

98

I can forgive you for all of that.

99

But how could you kill our mother, the kindest queen of Suoluo!

100

She was our mother!

101

I believe that not only I wouldn't be able to forgive you,

102

even the citizens of Suoluo won't forgive you!

103

Don't be misled by what they said!

104

Guards, kill them right now!

105

Brother! I knew it! You do want me to die.

106

Look at your hands.

107

They are drenched with mother's blood.

108

And now, you want to take me down.

109

How could you bear to do these?

110

That's right! Prince Ying has always been kind.

111

How could he possibly be the one who killed our queen?

112

Yes...Prince Heng was the prince who was locked up in a pagoda!

113

Arrest them!

114

Stop it!

115

How could you have bear to do it?

116

Why did you kill mother?

117

Why do you spare no efforts to get the Divine Beads?

118

Do the Divine Beads and power weigh more than our mother's life?

119

That's easy for you to say.

120

Ying, I am your elder brother.

121

But you've won more favor than me since childhood.

122

Okay. I'm fine with it.

123

But my best friend was forced to gouge out his own eyes because of father.

124

And I was locked up in the pagoda to reflect my mistakes.

125

I need power!

126

That's why, I must get the Divine Beads.

127

Nobody can stop me!

128

Neither you nor mother!

129

Even father can't stop me!

130

Brother, you've lost you mind!

131

Yes! I have!

132

I've exhausted every possible way to drive you away.

133

But you're still here!

134

Brother, you've racked your brain for the Divine Beads

135

and done so many bad things.

136

Haven't you ever regretted it?

137

Regret?

138

I regret nothing but my carelessness-

139

and let that woman steal away my Divine Bead.

140

Fine. Since you two walked here on your own,

141

it's time that you return the Divine Bead to me, right?

142

Yuan'an!

143

Miss Yuan'an, long time no see.

144

I'm sure you have been well.

145

It's you...

146

Ling Xi, my friend!

147

I finally have gathered all the nine Divine Beads!

148

Heartfelt congratulations to you, my dear friend!

149

Can't believe you are the same person!

150

You've been lying to me all this time?

151

Do you know now how powerful the Divine Beads are?

152

You...

153

What happened? Did the sword just go through his body?

154

How did that happen?

155

What are you, a human or a ghost?

156

Do you really think that you can do whatever you want after obtaining the Divine Beads?

157

All the people here have witnessed what you have done today.

158

Power?

159

How long do you think you can have it?

160

Ying, what a naive boy you are!

161

Let me tell you what will happen next.

162

First, I will kill you

163

and dominate the whole Suoluo Kingdom.

164

And then I will conquer the whole world with the Divine Beads.

165

Lastly, what will Prince Ying be like in historic records?

166

You'd be a man who colluded with an evil woman from Tang

167

and killed his own mother,

168

and was eventually hacked to death as punishment!

169

That would be your ending.

170

Wrong, that isn't true!

171

Prince Heng is lying! He is the bad guy!

172

Who said that? Kill him!

173

- Brother! You can't do that!

- Yes, Your Majesty!

174

Stay there! Don't move!

175

Don't move! Back up!

176

What's going on?

177

Who are they?

178

Go after them! Quick!

179

Heng, at this moment they should not be your priority.

180

You now have the Divine Beads and is being gaze upon by so many people.

181

You're the master of the Divine Beads.

182

Prince Heng is the only King of the World!

183

Kneel down!

184

Prince Heng, King of the World!

185

Quick! Kneel down!

186

My dear friend,

187

without you I could never have made it.

188

Now, since we've gotten back the Divine Beads,

189

the revival of Suoluo Kingdom would be happening soon.

190

From this day on, the soldiers are to be trained

191

to prepare for war against the Tang Kingdom.

192

Minghui?

193

Lanzhi!

194

You're both alive!

195

You can shout or cry as you like, but don't touch him.

196

I also thought that I'm done for.

197

Lanzhi!

198

Princess!

199

♫ Mist worries along with the mortal world ♫

200

Lanzhi!

201

♫ I follow you through ups and downs ♫

202

♫ One love has persistently waited for several years ♫

203

Help! Please help us! Help!

204

What happened? Come here!

205

♫ But I'm unable to resist your gaze when you looked back ♫

206

- Here.

- Thank you.

207

♫ How can I give up when I've fallen in love ♫

208

♫ If I have to fall into this vast remainder of my life just for this love ♫

209

♫ Not recovering and keep sinking ♫

210

Minghui,

211

having gone through a near death experience with you,

212

I finally saw how deep your love is for me.

213

I feel ashamed at having nothing to pay back.

214

Don't be so courteous with me.

215

Now, we are in serious trouble.

216

The deadline given by the empress is getting closer,

217

The two kingdoms might go into war

218

if we failed to get back the Divine Beads on time.

219

I still need to get my job done.

220

I'll stay with you until the end.

221

Minghui and I sneaked into the Suoluo capital.

222

We heard from the people about the happenings in the palace.

223

The prince ran away and the queen was killed.

224

We assumed that these changes were brought about by Yuan'an and the Divine Beads,

225

hence, we hid among the people.

226

But we were so far away and there were so many people,

227

we couldn't come rescue you until we saw the signal flare.

228

Good thing, we're not late.

229

Really, without you two, we would've been dead now.

230

Prince Ying, you pretended to be a slave and sneaked into Tang Kingdom

231

to steal away the Divine Beads.

232

Do you know that you've put all of our lives at the mercy of the empress?

233

We are all implicated in this by you.

234

I should have killed you when we were still at Huodu Mountain.

235

The Divine Beads is a treasure that originally belonged to Suoluo.

236

How could you say that I stole them?

237

You've brought harm to many people and you still don't feel any remorse?

238

But he took the Divine Beads to save his father!

239

You're here.

240

Where's your mother?

241

Royal Father.

242

You've been recuperating from your illness,

243

hence, knows little about what's happening outside.

244

Royal Mother...

245

...is dead.

246

You killed her?

247

I knew it.

248

You don't trust me at all.

249

Yes, you're right.

250

It was me.

251

Where's Ying?

252

He has fled.

253

Why don't you kill me as well?

254

Devil!

255

My sin...

256

My friend, how are you doing with the task?

257

Don't worry. I've deciphered the different methods

258

to make special weapons written on the Divine Beads.

259

All the craftsmen in Suoluo will work round the clock.

260

The recruiting notice has been given out.

261

Your wish of conquering the whole world will soon come true.

262

I will make the whole world bend its knee to me.

263

Father, the first thing you'll see is

264

our war against Tang Kingdom.

265

I see.

266

None of us perceived the perils behind.

267

Now, my brother has all the Divine Beads.

268

Those plans that he announced are just bluffs.

269

I'm afraid that the citizens of Suoluo won't have peaceful days from now on.

270

Not only does he have the Divine Beads,

271

but also Ling Xi, a cunning and devious man

272

who can change his face to fool everyone.

273

My brother has been misguided by him.

274

We have to get rid of Ling Xi first to take back the Divine Beads.

275

I followed the old devil, Tianqiao, for more than ten years

276

and have seen many men with wondrous power or skills.

277

But I've never heard of a ghost.

278

There must be a way to kill him

279

so long as he isn't a ghost.

280

Yuan'an,

281

I once saw what you described just now.

282

Tell me.

283

Years ago there was a warlock from Arabia,

284

whose performance in Chang'an City was so popular

285

that people regarded him as a legend.

286

And then Tianqiao heard of it.

287

Tianqiao then asked me to go with him to have a look at this Arabian warlock.

288

Bravo! Bravo!

289

What on earth are they applauding for?

290

It was nothing but some deceiving trick.

291

This friend, you're allowed to stab me with that sword.

292

So magical!

293

- Who are you?

- My young apprentice is very interested in novel things.

294

She is wondering how you did your trick earlier.

295

Why should I disclose it to strangers?

296

My magic is what I live on.

297

We promise to keep it a secret.

298

Well then. Listen.

299

Stop right there.

300

He is still around here.

301

Why is he here?

302

I saw him running out!

303

Could there be two of them, or he can split himself into two?

304

This is what people call "Soul Spliting Spell".

305

Soul Spliting Spell?

306

Yes. Tianqiao once said that it's an extremely peculiar spell.

307

People with this spell can separate his soul from his body.

308

Although the warlock we met at that time was quite adept at it,

309

his body and soul couldn't be separated for too long.

310

Otherwise, we couldn't catch him.

311

I guess Ling Xi is an expert of Soul Spliting Spell,

312

which explains why you failed to catch him and got caught by him instead.

313

Then how should we deal with this spell?

314

People like him can do everything with their souls separated from bodies.

315

He won't be defeated in a normal way.

316

It's like you can't perforate wind with a sword,

317

neither can you cut off a stream with it.

318

It's impossible.

319

Therefore, in order to defeat him,

320

one must find his true body and destroy it.

321

How can we find it with Suoluo being this vast?

322

Ling Xi and my brother once practiced magic tricks together in the palace.

323

I know a place, the top floor of Imperial Library.

324

That's where my father stores and seals all his spell books.

325

I assume that when my brother took Ling Xi back to the palace,

326

they secretly learned magic spells in there.

327

Do you have any idea?

328

Anyway, we need to go to Imperial Library again.

329

I'm sure we would get some clues, regardless if the body is there or not.

330

There's no time to waste. Let's go.

331

Go.

332

Come and have a look!

333

Here! Over here!

334

- Husband!

- Take him!

- Mother! Mother!

335

Quick! Go!

336

- Why are you taking my child away?

- Mother!

337

- Don't take my husband!

- Hurry? Search every house!

338

Let go of me!

339

- Search every house and take them all!

- My child!

- Why are they casually catching people?

340

What should we do?

341

What should we do?

342

Before this, our Suoluo Kingdom was prosperous and the citizens are safe.

343

The citizens are living in peace and working happily.

344

But now, they are being harmed by these devils like this!

345

My friend, you got something on your mind.

346

What's wrong?

347

I'm worrying about the war against Tang Kingdom.

348

Although we have the Divine Beads and created so many weapons,

349

I'm still afraid that we might lose for being understaffed.

350

I fear that our chances of winning isn't that high.

351

Is that a problem?

352

You can never imagine how powerful these Divine Beads are.

353

They'll help us build stronger weapons

354

and make perfect deployments of our troops.

355

No matter how many soldiers they have,

356

we can take them down.

357

Really?

358

I meant it.

359

Okay. Ling Xi, I'll keep my promise.

360

I will give you half of the world I get.

361

I have no interest in it.

362

All I want is to be with you as your loyal friend.

363

Prince Ying.

364

General Su Ya,

365

You are a general in the army.

366

How come they sent you to guard the Imperial Library?

367

It's an order from Prince Heng.

368

He asked us to defend the top floor.

369

Prince Ying, please save your father and your people!

370

Please save Suoluo from this disaster!

371

Please arise, General Su Ya.

372

I promise I'll do my best.

373

Prince Ying, be careful.

374

Take care. Let's go!

375

Let's go to Imperial Library!

376

We've been here before.

377

But it looks different now.

378

Do you know the way out?

379

Come with me.

380

This room isn't big enough to hide a human body.

381

What is this?

382

Where's Ling Xi's body?

383

We've come here in vain.

384

Damn! Someone's coming. Leave!

385

Go!

386

Take them all!

387

Go!

388

Lanzhi!

389

Let's go!

390

Those people have overestimated their capabilities.

391

Can't believe they dare trespass into here.

392

Guards! Guards!

393

It was my fault.

394

Your fault?

395

How were you guarding this place?

396

How were you guarding this place?! You rubbish!

397

Heng, tomorrow we're going to attack Tang Kingdom,

398

which is your first step to gain the world.

399

Since the Divine Beads only take orders from you,

400

they can do nothing about it.

401

- Are you alright?

- I'm alright.

402

Go there.

403

Bear it.

404

Hold on.

405

Zhao Lanzhi! You shouldn't have taken the arrow for him!

406

These monsters from Suoluo are all trouble-makers! They should be dead!

407

Minghui, who do you say is a monster?

408

Is he a normal man?

409

Enough, Minghui. It's not really a good time to have a fight.

410

Zhao Lanzhi, you're still defending her?!

411

Very well then, you three are a team.

412

Fine, I'll leave!

413

Zhao Lanzhi, in your heart, I know you're still holding on to Ye Yuan'an.

414

Minghui!

415

Minghui, why did you go so far?

416

I'm worried about you.

417

What for?

418

You were taking Ye Yuan'an's side just now.

419

What nonsense are you saying? Come back with me.

420

There's just the two of us now.

421

There's something I want to ask you in private.

422

Sure.

423

Come with me first. We can talk on our way back.

424

I'll go nowhere if you don't answer my questions now!

425

I'm sorry.

426

Okay already. Stop throwing tantrums.

427

Ask me anything you'd like to know.

428

Then tell me,

429

do you still want to get back together with Ye Yuan'an?

430

What are you talking about?

431

You've stayed with me all the way from Tang to Suoluo.

432

How could I possibly still think of Ye Yuan'an?

433

Furthermore, she is not as pretty as you are.

434

Really?

435

Of course.

436

You liar!

437

I'm telling the truth!

438

Zhao Lanzhi,

439

I don't want to stay here anymore.

440

I don't want to die with Ye Yuan'an.

441

I wanna go back to Tang.

442

Then we shall go back right now.

443

Now?

444

Yes!

445

This task is far too difficult

446

and it puts our lives in peril.

447

I think it's better that we just go back to Tang

448

and cherish the rest of our lives.

449

Just the two of us?

450

Just the two of us.

451

Ye Yuan'an and I have no relations.

452

You're my wife.

453

Zhao Lanzhi, you...

454

You're not Zhao Lanzhi.

455

The Confusing Enchantment of the Nine Divine Beads. You can kill someone without a trace.

456

Go to hell!

457

Open your eyes and see what happened.

458

On this dagger is just blood from my hand.

459

Say it! From where did you come from, monster?!

460

This is a confusing enchantment created by the Nine Divine Beads.

461

I'm the inner devil in it.

462

You'll never get out of here without defeating me.

463

Monster! Listen!

464

Zhao Lanzhi has never spoken ill of Ye Yuan'an;

465

Neither has he ever run from a fight!

466

Minghui!

467

- Minghui!

- Go away!

468

You're the real Zhao Lanzhi?

469

We've entered the confusing enchantment created by the Nine Divine Beads.

470

And just now there was a fake Zhao Lanzhi that appeared

471

who almost killed me.

Luckily, I discovered it early on.

473

What are you thinking about?

474

I think something is off.

475

Tell me.

476

Princess Minghui presumed that Ling Xi hides his body

477

in the Imperial Library via the Soul Spliting Spell.

478

But when we got there,

479

we found nothing but all those bronze mirrors.

480

Indeed...They must have hid it somewhere else.

481

But where is it?

482

We would be looking for a needle in a haystack!

483

We now know that Ling Xi's body isn't there,

484

so what made my brother so furious when he saw us in the Imperial Library?

485

There must be a secret in there!

486

We just haven't realized it yet.

487

I'll go check.

488

Mu Le!

489

For an enchantment created by the Divine Beads,

490

no matter how lucky Ying could be,

491

I'm sure he will not survive it.

♫ Once we drank and chatted merrily, what you said that night on the mountain. ♫
