[Till The End of The Moon]

[Episode 11]

It's only been a few days and you have already proclaimed yourself a king.

You have really changed my view of you.

The last time I saw you, you were the awe-inspiring Junior General Ye.

It's only been a few days, and you look worn out.

If I kill you now or take you back alive, my family will have another military merit.

Then go ahead and try.

See if you'll get a promotion or if your king will dread you for being a threat to his throne.

That's irrelevant for now.

If I kill you today, I would be killing a malicious man for the world!

Ye Qingyu, I've been a hostage in the Sheng Kingdom for years.

We both know how paranoid King Sheng is.

The Ye Family is in a precarious situation.

Be it punishment or reward, I'll thank my king.

Our Ye Family is and will be Sheng people.

I won't be incited by a few words from you.

Fair enough.

The Ye Family is under the Sheng King's orders. If it were only the Ye Family that were suffering,

you'd be able to tolerate it.

But what about people with no power to resist,

like me, when I was married into your family?

The King of Sheng doesn't care about their lives.

If your family is satisfied by enjoying a life of peace bestowed by the king

and indulging in his incapability by letting him do as he wishes,

the people in the Sheng Kingdom will only suffer more.

General Ye, I've checked war records in Jia Pass over these years.

You always charge into battle first in front of the troop, fighting side by side with your men.

That is why the Jia Pass is united

and known to be the protective barrier for the Sheng Kingdom.

What's the point of saying so?

In a game of power between two kingdoms, I'm only a king's pawn.

Don't belittle yourself, General.

The game of power favors brutal force.

But, General Ye, you're more than just a force,

whether in terms of capability or temperament.

Your benevolence

could disguise the violence of the king that wreaks havoc on people,

while in good use, it brings peace to the land.

It's up to you,

whether you prioritize loyalty

or the civilians.

I hope there will be no more wars in the world, and one day the countries can be reunified.

[Jia Pass]

General, the court gives the same order, that should Jia Pass fall,

then the Ye Family will… be exterminated.

The jade is a gift from Emperor Gaozu and a symbol of the Ye Family warden for generations.

Today, I give it to you now.

[Warden]

Remember.

Do not yield. Die for honor if need be.

If not for your premature wisdom that stands out in the crowd,

I hoped to have you carefree as your big brother,

wining and dining at home and being an ordinary man.

What a nice life. Why did you choose to be a hero?

Father, Eldest Brother has the fortune to live an easy life.

Now that I'm the home supervisor.

Then all responsibility of the Ye Family shall rest upon my shoulders,

whether it's about the Sheng Kingdom or the whole land.

I'll do what I must do.

My personal concern should be the last.

You're always trying to be a hero.

A few bumps are what you need.

The army of the Jing Kingdom has reached the gate, General.

Ye Qingyu, do you actually think your reputation is more important than the lives of thousands of soldiers?

Enough talking!

It's up to you,

whether you prioritize loyalty

or the civilians.

Should Jia Pass fall, the Ye Family will be exterminated.

If your family is satisfied by enjoying a life of peace bestowed by the king and indulging in his incapability by letting him do as he wishes,

the people in this country, will only suffer more.

As the guardian general of the borders, I receive a salary from the court. I am duty-bound to protect the Sheng Kingdom with all my heart and strength.

However, deep down in my heart, I hope there will be no more wars in the world, and one day the countries can be reunified.

What I want to do is rule the whole land and end the war.

Deputy General Liu.

Sir.

Open the gate.

Yes, sir.

To surrender.

General.

Sorry, Father,

I am disloyal and unfilial.

I only hope to save the people.

[Jia Pass]

You spent years guarding this place.

I didn't expect your residence to be so humble.

King Sheng is cruel and paranoid.

When he recieves word, he will probably implicate your family.

I've sent people to the capital of Sheng to bring your family back here.

They'll arrive in the Jing Kingdom in a few days.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

I understand you had a difficult life living with my family.

Yet you do not fault them but repay with goodwill.

You are extremely benevolent.

Ye Qingyu,

I save your family, for I don't want to see your talent wasted nor your life at risk.

Do you understand?

From now on,

I will shield your back and give my life for yours if need be.

General Ye, having your sword is my great honor.

Your Majesty, is my second sister faring well?

How should I know?

She…

She left months ago.

She's a bit willful. If she offended you, I beg you to pardon her negligence.

I take all responsibility.

I'm a little tired. You should rest, too.

- I… - General Ye, this way.

Ye Xiwu, where are you?

Mr. Yue. Mrs. Yue, I'll leave her to your care.

Rest assured. We bear no children, we will treat her as our own daughter.

Fuya had a miserable childhood.

For safety, she needs a new name.

The girl is now yours.

She needs a name to start anew.

We are farmers. You seem well-educated. Maybe you can pick a name.

Yeah, that would be better.

Then, how about Yue Ya?

The "Ya" in the line of the poem "The spring day is at the edge of the sky" (Li Shangyin Poem)

Yue Ya.

- Yue Ya. - Beautiful.

A good name.

When she smiles, her eyes squint like a crescent. ("Crescent" is a homonym with her name)

Here, Fuya.

Go.

Fuya, do you like this place?

Yes.

From now on, your name is Yue Ya.

The name, Yue Fuya, must be kept unknown.

- Do you understand? - Yes.

If you want to learn magic arts, take this letter to Mount Changze and ask for Hengyang Sect.

It's Hengyang Sect, remember.

Hengyang Sect. I'll remember it.

I hope we'll see each other again.

Farewell.

Sister!

Goodbye!

Jia Pass.

How dare you!

Before I could receive word of Jia Pass, the whole Ye Family ran away overnight.

You think that I'll spare your life?

Guards. Send a cavalry.

They are my dogs and even if they were to die they must be buried beneath me.

Calm down, Royal Father. Jia Pass has fallen.

The urgency now is to dispatch troops and reclaim the lost land.

Don't defend them.

Reclaim the lost land?

Ye Xiao has left northward, and Ye Qingyu has surrendered. There are no men for the job.

You made an excuse when I dispatched the troops.

Are you privy to Ye Qingyu's scheme?

Please calm down, Royal Father.

In just a few months, Tantai Jin employed talent and reduced punishment and taxes

to regain peace and prosperity.

It's improper to war with him.

- We shall… - Stop your nonsense.

You refuse to go to war so you can replace me.

- Is that your plan? - No, Royal Father.

I serve you with heart and soul.

I am willing to lead an army and reclaim Jia Pass.

As you wish.

I have one more wish, Royal Father.

Name it.

Bingchang's from Ye family. But she's my wife now.

I beg you to spare her life.

Very well.

Considering your sincerity, I'll spare her.

Thank you, Royal Father. I'll not fail you. I will not surrender until I die.

Why don't you leave for the Jing Kingdom with Ye Xiao and Ye Qingyu?

Are you staying in the Sheng Capital to spy on us?

Yes, you're a spy!

The loyalty of the Ye Family is a joke.

Shame on you. Surrender without resistance,

I used to accept her food. How awful.

Shame on you.

Ye, the traitor.

You don't deserve to be Prince Xuancheng's Consort.

Get out of our kingdom.

Get out of here.

Get out, daughter of Ye, the traitor.

Bah!

Out, out!

Out, get out, out!

I apologize for arriving late

and causing you to suffer.

It won't happen again.

But now, I'm worried about leaving you here.

What do you mean?

What do you mean leave me here?

Now I have no family to rely upon.

- Your Highness. - Hear me out.

Father has promised me that he will spare you.

Now that the Sheng Kingdom has no general.

I have volunteered to go to battle.

- You're going to the battlefield? - Yes.

Bingchang, the battlefield is treacherous and tough.

You're too gentle.

Your Highness, the people are angry.

Even if His Majesty spares me, they won't do the same to a member of the Ye Family.

But that's the least of my concerns.

What troubles me is that there's no one to tend to you.

If I must die, I want to die beside you.

Your Highness, please take me with you.

I don't want to stay here alone.

Fine.

The war is unpredictable,

but I'll protect you.

I recall the last time I drank tea with General Ye in the capital.

How does it come to be like this?

You can never tell.

In a war between two countries, the people suffer the most.

If I had a choice…

Junior Martial Uncle, we have lived in two different worlds.

A matter of this kind should not trouble you.

You'd better return to Mount Buzhao.

The war is not my concern.

It's you who I'm worried about.

You risk your life on the battlefield.

How can I not do the same?

If our brothers and sisters ask, how am I supposed to answer?

Plus, earthly experience is cultivation, too.

I've heard people say that the principle of the Xiaoyao Sect is to mind other people's business.

I used to doubt that.

I never expected it to be true.

I didn't expect Xiao Lin to come in person.

It seems your surrender has provoked King Sheng.

But I'm looking forward to meeting with Xiao Lin again.

[Jia Pass] In the old days in the Sheng Kingdom, he was the noble Sixth Prince,

while I was a hostage prince under his care.

One may say he is my benefactor.

Sixth Prince is benevolent, and cannot help but arouse loyalty and gratitude in those around him.

He arouses loyalty and gratitude in those around him.

That's who he is.

But I'm afraid I'll be the man who returns evil for good.

The beast...

only dines and sleeps for a whole day.

Capturing Sheng with them might take a while.

Pianran, find some powerful demons for me.

All great demons within our range are now answering your call.

There are no more to find.

Jia Pass sits near the Mo River.

The river is said to be ominous.

There might be some demons.

Check it out for me.

At the bottom of the Mo River, sleeps a ten-thousand-year-old demon.

Gather all sorcerers.

Head for the Mo River.

Let me tell you.

If Junior General Ye didn't surrender and the court had no one to assign,

it wouldn't have been Prince Xuancheng to lead the army.

- I also heard that Prince Xuangcheng… - Qingyu is known for loyalty.

Why would he suddenly surrender?

What happened?

King Jing was a hostage prince.

Maybe His Majesty thinks a hostage prince is unworthy of a throne, thus calling a war.

Senior General Ye is badly injured while Junior General Ye surrenders.

Our country has passed its prime.

If not for the greed of His Majesty, we would never need to endure this suffering.

It's none of our concern.

The business of kings has nothing to do with us.

The Jing Kingdom might just be a good place to live.

I heard they garrison along the Mo River and treat prisoners and migrants well.

Excuse me, brothers. May I ask? This army of the Jing, where do they post exactly?

[Bottom of the Mo River]

We marched day and night.

Now, by the Mo River, we can finally take a rest.

What troubles you?

Is something wrong?

The scout just reported there is a contingent from Jing reaching the north bank of the Mo River.

We just settled the camp, will we have to fight so soon?

That's the curious part.

The army of Jing arrived only to stay put.

But we recently recaptured some land days ago,

our men and horses are tired.

Now is not a good time for war.

Wait! There might be another reason.

Another reason?

What do you mean?

I don't know. But it seems it might be related to the formation of Mount Buzhao years ago.

You've traveled a long journey.

It's time to get prepared.

Today, you must not fail.

- Yes, ma'am. - Yes, ma'am.

I need to patrol.

Please show them the way, General Ye.

Let's go.

This is a treacherous deed.

When the formation begins, please take care of that girl if you may.

- Yes, Sir. - Yes, Sir.

Qingyu, long time no see.

Second Sister.

I've betrayed the Sheng Kingdom. I'm ashamed to see you.

I've heard about it along the way.

I believe you have your own reasons.

But where have you been all these months?

It's a long story.

I saw a few sorcerers in the camp.

What are they doing here?

Is Tantai Jin planning on using some unorthodox method again?

You guessed right.

His Majesty asked Pianran to awaken a demon sleeping at the bottom of the Mo River for his command.

His men are now preparing for the ritual.

That means Pianran serves him as well.

If Tantai Jin succeeds, a calamity will ensue.

I must think of a plan to stop him.

- Second Sister. - When will the ritual begin?

At sunrise, tomorrow.

Your Highness!

Your Highness.

Yes? Any news?

At the bottom of the Mo River lies a sleeping ancient demon.

An army led by Tantai Jin is already on its way to the Mo River.

Apparently, they will be making a ritual to awaken the demon.

An ancient demon?

We can't let Tantai Jin tame it.

Junior Martial Uncle, we can't sit back and do nothing.

We have to find a way to break his formation.

With everything that's going on, sending in troops would be a bad idea.

We wouldn't want to wake a sleeping dog.

You and I will sneak in there. It has got to be fast.

Let's go.

Your Highness, wait. M-My cup.

Where could His Highness possibly be going at this hour?

Why has he left in haste and alone?

Your Majesty, we've hired some rogue cultivators who know all about formations from the southern border.

This is going to work.

Your Majesty, I've cast a formation.

The river will split at sunrise.

Walk down the path, and you should see the demon.

Very well.

It's time.

Start.

This is odd.

I don't sense any demonic energy coming from this flood dragon. (Mystical creature that controls storms and floods)

It is, however, holding a grudge.

In time, it will be devoured by a grudge and turned into a demonic flood dragon.

Well, that's even better.

What is that?

A clam's shell.

Start the ritual.

Burn the sky and render the world useless. Subdue!

Pianran.

Tantai Jin!

The subordinates sent to search for Ye Xiwu just reported back.

Second Young Miss is still nowhere to be found.

Keep searching.

I want her back, alive or dead.

A surprise, isn't it? Bet you didn't see this coming.

You left without saying goodbye.

Now you show your face again only to work against me.

If I don't do this, how would I leave a deep impression in your heart?

I see.

Get her.

Second Young Miss, are you all right?

That was pretty bold of you, Second Young Miss.

Scholar Pang.

Your Majesty, I'll take care of them.

Hang on.

Xiao Lin, it's been a long time.

Stop all this, Tantai Jin.

Ordering the Firewing Army to act recklessly is outrageous and unforgivable.

So what? And who is to judge, anyway?

I don't see anything wrong with giving full play to the army.

Xiao Lin, I summoned a flock of blood crows as a wedding gift to celebrate your big day.

Did you enjoy it?

Young Devil Lord…

You didn't like it?

Why did you do that?

It just so happened that the people I wanted to get even with were all in the same place.

Sorry that I ruined your special day. And I owe it to you.

Xiao Lin, you have shown me kindness in the past.

For that, I don't want to make this hard for you.

Leave now… and I'll let you live.

What? Are you scared?

You know, I've been secretly learning social skills from you...

since I was a kid.

You… are an upright and noble man, but your brothers aren't fond of you.

They even want to have you replaced.

And me… I'm an aloof and lower-class man.

What a waste of a perfect combination, huh?

You see, without these unwanted people,

maybe you and I could have been brothers.

It's such a shame we are fated…

to be enemies.

I couldn't agree more. This is why I have to stop you today.

Go ahead.

The formation has been fixed.

Keep going.

We fell into his trap.

He was stalling for time.

Oh no! They're going to awaken the flood dragon!

This flood dragon has been dormant for ten thousand years.

Stuck in a limbo called Bo're Life.

It means reliving the past in dreams.

Feeling all the emotions you've felt.

And the loop repeats again and again, leaving you feeling trapped.

So the flood dragon has had lucid dreams for ten thousand years?

What happened to its eyes?

There's a fine line between becoming a devil and a god.

Maybe that's why it's been asleep for so long.

Waking the sleeping flood dragon has triggered a trial meant for it.

We'll find out soon whether it becomes a god or a devil.

Something's off about Young Devil Lord.

Is the flood dragon messing with his head...

and trying to lure him into choosing the path of the devil?

I guess this is the beginning of the calamity setting in 500 years.

How do we stop it from becoming a devil?

There's only one way. Enter the serpent's dream and wake it up.

Let me try.

- Ye Xiwu! - Second Young Miss!

Can't she wait a bit? I haven't finished.

Why does Tantai Jin go in, too?

Once in the Bo're Life, the invaders will lose their memories.

They may turn into small animals. Or even an everyday tool.

They are in grave danger.

I'll stop Tantai Jin.

His Majesty just entered.

Is His Majesty going to be okay?

Don't be dumb.

Every man has his own destiny.

We don't need to risk our lives for His Majesty.

You have a point, Miss.

Let's be peaceful about this.

But it's true that no more people can enter the Bo're Life.

It's like stuffing dumplings in a pot; it is almost filled to its maximum capacity.

His Majesty has entered the Bo're Life.

It may injure His Majesty if we get into a fight.

We'll sit this one out.

It's three-on-one.

You must win against Tantai Jin.

Never born, never died.

In a state of mind without worries.

Now I let all of you

experience the cycle of birth,

death,

love,

and hate.

Come into my dream...

and be enlightened.

This is...

what the Bo're Life is all about.

[Sang Jiu, Princess of the Unionid Tribe of the Mo River]

[Mingye, the God of War of the Shangqing God Realm]

Long live the God of War!

Long live the God of War!

If I cultivate hard enough, I will attain godhood one day.

And then, will I be able to fight the Devil's Army and protect our lands alongside the God of War?

A'Jiu.

A'Jiu.

Where have you been?

You were nowhere to be found. Father was worried sick.

Brother, I was away for, like, minutes.

You need to obediently stay at home for a few days.

Don't go out.

A war has broken out between the Gods and the Devils.

When it's all over, I'll take you out for a breather. All right?

The Mo River is a small place. I'm seriously bored to death.

Brother.

All right, that's enough.

You have Father and me keeping you entertained. How can you be bored to death?

It's been days of bloodshed.

And the Devils haven't crossed the Mo River?

That's right, Royal Father.

I heard Mingye, the God of War is on the front line with his men defending the river.

It's been eight days, and they haven't stepped back.

So his name is Mingye.

I've heard of this young man.

He was a flood dragon inhabiting the East Sea.

After years and years of hard cultivation, he was promoted to the God of War.

And he has dedicated himself to fight the Devil's Army.

As part of the Water Tribe, we clams have also felt honored and proud.

But, Father, he was an East Sea flood dragon, whereas we are clams.

What's to be proud of?

Aren't you old enough to know better than to claim others' credit as your own?

Have you no shame?

You have the nerve to say it.

Mingye has divine essence. And you do, too.

He is the God of War.

But what about you?

You follow your brother and me everywhere and do nothing all day.

You may not be aware, but it is chaos out there.

A perfect time to cultivate in seclusion.

So how long have you meditated today?

Fine. I'm going to meditate right now.

What's gotten into her lately?

She is secretive, and so distracted all the time.

Where did she go exactly?

Well, there's a war going on.

She went to see the excitement when we weren't watching.

See the excitement?

If you ask me, she went to see someone in the battle.

Oh, my baby girl is grown up.

If she does ascend to godhood, I just might swallow my pride

and try to set her up with that man.

We clams haven't been bothering others for generations.

Thousands of years worth of good deeds in exchange for a descendant with divine essence.

Regrettably, she's lazy and unmotivated.

Only God knows when she'll gain immortality.

Royal Father, A'Jiu is still young.

It does no harm for her to have fun.

There are always two sides to everything.

Now that the Devil Lord has manifested.

With the future of the Four Continents and Three Realms unclear,

the Mo River is the safest place she can possibly be.

That's a fair point. Nothing matters more than her safety.

Deliver a message to the people of the Water Tribe in the Mo River.

They must hole up for the next few days.

They absolutely cannot get involved in the clash out there.

As you wish.

It's been less than three months since the Devil Lord's arrival

and more than half of the Four Continents and Three Realms have been occupied.

This is a critical moment for us.

One mistake and it's all over.

Before Tian Hao, the former God of War, was taken out, he made me promise to defend the Eastern Continent.

It's a promise I intend to keep.

The Mo River will not be lost.

Brother Mingye, my father left both the Eastern Continent

and me to you.

What am I going to do if something happens to you?

Tian Huan,

thanks for healing me.

I'm going to go for a walk.
