(Previously) Li Xingyun. This is the utopia you dreamed of. You came to stop me too? With a great enemy before us, we ask the regent to ascend the throne. As for the Northlands, I will act as regent. Today, your fate, either death or life, will depend on your strength. Degenerate commander, do you know the consequences
of killing her? Congratulations to the new Emperor! – Long live His Majesty!
– Long live His Majesty! Zhang, have you heard of Decayed Remains, Jiangchen, Ancestor of the Dead? Everyone, are you all okay? So? The thing we intended to do before can begin now. You knew all along that the outcome couldn’t be changed, didn’t you? You’re finally back, Jiangchen. Everyone, I’m coming. (Jiangchen, Ancestor of the Dead) Jiangchen, the big matter we discussed earlier can start now. I think her Central Plains outfit looks better. This time, at least she didn’t tear off
someone else’s limbs to attach them to herself. That’s already an improvement. My… My water… It’s my last sip. Return to the depths of this desert and turn it upside down. Hurry up. Slow down. Go faster. Slow down. Hou Qing. Say something! Why are you feeling carsick now? =Episode 1=
=The Northlands= I didn’t expect… I didn’t expect so many experts in the Tulv Troops. All of them are no match for you. Before my life ends, there’s something I need to tell you. I am not from the Tulv Troops. I am a warrior of the Yao Nian clan. General… Your Highness… How… How is this possible? Ao Gu, is this the expert you assigned to assist in the investigation? Yes. You, handle it. Understood. You, come back to the camp with me. May the soul of the brave return to the Ninefold Horizons. Who could the murderer be? Even General Yao Nian found no leads. Sir, the statistics are complete. Tell me about it. All who perished were warriors
of the Tulv troops. They were all on the April Meet
participant list. Even the experts General Yao Nian
placed here didn’t survive. And after their passing,
their innards were hollowed out. Hollowed out again… Since the Queen ordered
the April Meet, this has happened countless times. The April Meet. Isn’t it only held
in the lunar fourth month? These people passed away so tragically. – They were from Northlands…
– Enough talk! Speak carelessly again,
and you’ll lose your life. I’m sorry. Who is that? Pursue them! -Yes!
-Yes! Don’t run! Stop! He’s ahead. Surround him! There’s more than one of them! Sir. Split up and chase them! Spread out and surround them. Block off that road! (Antique Stew) (Antique Stew) Release the arrows! Who are you, exactly? Dear guests, thanks for waiting. Our shop just opened. Welcome! Food’s ready! No matter how much you eat, it’s not as good as having a meal here. Our beef and lamb Antique Stew will keep you warm through winter. If you’re here, you’re our guest. If you don’t want to eat, we’re happy to have tea
and chat with you. In short, as long as you pay, we do it all. Hmm, smells pretty good. Dear guest, you have good taste. (Clean and hygienic Central Plains Dirty Stew)
This is our signature Dirty Stew. The side dishes are carved by our chef
using expert knife skills. We blend nine spices
specially tailored to the seasons. Finally, we add the freshly cleaned heart, liver, stomach, intestines,
and kidney that we dug out this afternoon. Only with these five organs
do we create this perfect, unbeatable, health-boosting Dirty Stew for you to enjoy. Organs… Right. Arrest them. (Antique Stew) You should have said it was just
beef liver and lamb tripe. You had us almost misunderstand you. Not charging us? That’s too generous. In a few days, I’ll bring a hundred or so brothers to support your business. Open for five days without
earning a single coin, and losing money on meals. Whose lousy idea was it to say we’d make money
by bringing them here? Forget about the idea now. Whether you still
want to keep this shop open. Yes. Then get some sleep first. Good idea. Makes sense. (Monthly interest: 1 tael 7 coins)
How shameless! How can you even think about sleeping? Look at these accounts! They’re all debts, no income. And most of it was covered by me! You need to give me an explanation. Here, I’ll read it out to you. Tables and chairs: 1 tael 7 coins. Beams: 7 taels 6 coins. Planks: 3 taels 4 coins. Also, rent 15 taels. I borrowed this part
from the money lender. Oh, really? Still needs to be repaid. Monthly interest is 1 tael 7 coins,
and the principal is 3 taels 4 coins. So, that’s 4 taels 1 coin. 5 taels 1 coin. In total, 5 taels 1 coin. There’s living expenses,
buying ingredients, and this darn roof that keeps leaking but we have
no money to fix it. We’re not just poor, we’re drowning in debt. This life is unbearable! What are you doing? Lying down. You’ll catch a cold lying there. – It’s warm here.
– So what if you have money? – You two…
– You’re rebelling! – If you don’t get customers,
– Let me down! – I’ll make you feel warm, too.
– Let me down! Maybe it’s not customers
we need to find. What then? The murderer. Why can’t we make any money? Villains committing murders. The townsfolk are terrified. How long have we been here? Over half a month. When did the murders start? The day after we arrived. What clues do we have about the killer? Skilled fighters from the Northlands. Their organs were all hollowed out. It’s bizarre. – They must be trying to hide…
– Case solved! You’re the murderer! How dare you say I’m the murderer? Aren’t you named Boundless Dark Abyss? Dark Abyss, and Boundless. And you still deny, huh? Aren’t you Limitless Red Earth? Who knows if you placed a bomb
inside their stomachs? I… I left my home and gave up everything. I’m not here to commit murder. I’m the one who assembled these tables, fixed the roof, and paid for most of it. How could I be the murderer? So it seems it wasn’t either of us. Sister, I’m sorry. I misunderstood you. It’s okay. I misunderstood you, too. Well then… Your Ice Arrows… My apologies. And your Flaming Blade… So, who bought all these heart, liver,
stomach, intestines, and kidneys? It’s Hou Qing. Oh? Hou Qing? But you’re afraid of blood, aren’t you? That makes it even less likely it’s me. In that case, what about Jiangchen? (Liquor) Are you saying the big thing she intended to do was coming here, kill people, and take their
hearts and livers just (Account Book)
to save on ingredient costs? No, that’s not it. All along, she’s been searching for someone
to practice the Ninefold Heaven Art, but she’s never succeeded. Now that she’s in the Northlands, she probably just wanted to relax a bit. She’s using the April Meet
as an opportunity to open this shop. She’s still probably looking
for masters to train with. So… The Ninefold Heaven Art is extremely
sinister and malevolent. Those who practice it must harbor deep hatred, and be ruthless and decisive, or they’ll lose control
and fall into madness. The sinister energy will spread
through their body. And to conceal the evidence, they’ll have to remove the corrupted
organs poisoned by the practice. I don’t think so. Empty. My newly fixed roof. Fall down from up there. Judging by the body’s build,
their martial skills weren’t weak. Oh. The stomach was hollowed out too. Hey! He says you dropped something. I’ll go check. I’ll handle it. No need to trouble yourself. I’ll go. Come on. It’s all for the shop. I’ll go. You haven’t done much
for the shop. I’ll handle it. Are you saying I haven’t done any work? That’s right. I said it. That drum whip from the Northlands. Isn’t it your prized possession? How can you bear to use it now? You came here… You must have another purpose. When did you get so chatty? They’re fighting. Good fight on. Avenge my Hong. Don’t destroy my house! My slate roof! All these years, and you haven’t
improved at all. You still have no taste. Yes, you have. Why are you blaming him? You fool! I told you she wasn’t blaming you. Why’d you throw the bomb
at the sheep pen? You injured all your sheep! You two stop fighting! What happened? Stay back! (Feel at Home) This shop was a seed we planted together when we were young. It’s finally sprouted
after all these years. We can’t let it be destroyed. Do the four ancestors of the dead really have to attack each other
to get along? No. I’ll prove to the world that we have humanity. We must stop blaming others. From now on, we’ll reflect on ourselves. It’s my fault. I shouldn’t have blamed you
for killing Hong, jabbed you with the Ice Arrow and suspected
you were harvesting organs. Your turn. I also made mistakes. I shouldn’t have slacked off. I shouldn’t have fought Hou Qing. I was just being playful. I don’t think I did anything wrong yet. There’s something I’ve always
wanted to say. Today I finally have the chance. Half a month ago, I received a letter from Shang Rao
asking me to return. The princess needs someone by her side, and the child is old enough
for private tutoring. But I didn’t know how to tell you. I know that while you never said it, you need me. The four of us
are incomplete without each other. Just go, then. You should have told us earlier. Family is important. Exactly. Ah… Hou Qing, pack that box for him. That box is mine. That’s yours. Why did you put a chicken? – Why bring little red flower along?
– Leave the chicken behind. – Huh?
– Sis, that bowl is for feeding the dog. – It’s yours now.
– Those bowls are his. How’s he supposed to carry them
stacked like that? Take the dustpan for him, too. – Leave me some more paper dolls.
– What? Han Ba. Take care on the road. We’ve prepared a grand farewell for you. Honestly, it’s hard to let go. After all, he has a family now. Besides, everyone has their own life and stories they’d rather not share. What’s there to feel sad about? Out with the old, in with the new. Well, I’m heading back. I’ll go rest now. Rest? You wrecked the house like that. Weren’t you going to fix it? Not my job. I never said I would. Oh, so I said it? If you want my story, I was once a prince of the Great
Tang Dynasty of the Central Plains. But knowing I couldn’t be
a wise ruler who saves the people, I just wanted to roam
the mountains and rivers, enjoying a life of poetry and freedom. So, I gave up my birthright, relinquishing the throne to another. I became the degenerate commander, who understands the dark, upholds
the light, and blends into the world. Young man, I’ve been carving gravestones here for decades. Never have I met anyone who brags as much as you. Young man, one must have dreams. Sir, during my visit here, I didn’t expect that along this journey, I would keep hearing about
people passing away. Isn’t your place here a bit unsafe? Things haven’t been
very peaceful lately. It’s all because of the April Meet. Those who passed away
were all people coming to compete. If it’s so dangerous to attend the April Meet, why would so many still come? Could it be that the winner gets some great reward? You’re an outsider. This isn’t something
you should ask about. Let me tell you, those who come to the April Meet are all after the Queen’s rewards. And rumor has it these rewards are linked to
the mysterious Yin Mountain. But young man, just make sure you don’t tell anyone outside that I told you this. Let’s go. To Yin Mountain. What’s this? What’s this? Hurry! This is too scary. Did you just see that? I saw it. The bodies were all disemboweled. The murderer might still be up there. Hurry! Let’s report it to the officials. Why are you running so fast? Who’s that? Ah! Blood! Attack! Retreat! Report! Sir, the reports are true. Three top warriors
from the Northlands lost their lives in the nearby forest. Their organs were hollowed out. Report! Sir. There are signs of a fight ahead,
and we found a suspicious individual. Bring him in. All the clans have grown restless. Didn’t the Queen foresee this? What can be done? What else can be done? Return to court. The court is already full of intrigue. All this sounds like signs
of a dynasty’s demise. The April Meet cannot have
any more incidents. Mother, the Tulv Troops all of their contestants
in the April Meet are gone. Six of our operatives
among them were also killed. I failed in my duties. Please punish me, Your Highness. Leave. Understood. Ao Gu. Mother. I got the injuries
in the Central Plains. Healed? They are mostly healed. I’m entrusting the matter
of the April Meet’s killer to you. Can you set my mind at ease? I will do my utmost. Ao Gu, do you know why I places such importance
on this April Meet? Whoever wins the April Meet will obtain
the Yin Mountain Baling Stone, which will help us conquer
the Central Plains. You know my current situation. This is my last chance. It’s also your last chance. The Northlands’ greatest champion cannot lose again. (Account Book) I’ve fixed the roof. The roof and courtyard walls together cost 1 tael and 7 coins. Now that the head chef is gone, we’ve saved a lot on food expenses. (Account Book)
But moving forward, who will cook? Not me. I can’t cook. – Neither can I.
– Neither can I. (Liquor)
Hurry up and eat. And don’t waste lamp oil. Not hungry. I’m full. It looks like we still need to hire a chef. Hiring someone costs money. Where would we find a chef
in this remote place? From the sky. My roof… It’s shattered again! Who’s this now? Li Xingyun. The way his life ends looks just like the last one. Legend has it that our Northlands traces its origin
to Yin Mountain. A warrior on a white horse and traveled east across shifting sands. A heavenly maiden rode a green ox westward along the Huang River. They met at Yin Mountain and became husband and wife. They bore eight children. When the eight children passed away, their remains transformed into eight Baling Stones,
each holding immense power. Everyone sought to claim
the Baling Stones for themselves. As a result, relentless conflicts erupted
among the eight tribes. To cease the strife, the eight tribes ultimately decided to entrust the stones to the sage Duo Kuohuo for safekeeping. Later, when the Yuling Tribe faced extinction, Duo Kuohuo gifted one Baling Stone to their chief Yi Lijin. It empowered him to defend his people. However, his strength was ultimately insufficient. In the end, the Yuling Tribe
was completely wiped out. And that Baling stone disappeared without a trace. How’s that? Interested yet? Wait, don’t leave! Such a sacred relic. There are still
seven more up at Yin Mountain. Aren’t you curious? No. Come on. Help me. Help me. These treasures… They’re all yours. All of it is yours. But you’re mine. =Episode 2=
=Medicine Wheel= I am a warrior of the Diela Tribe. I’ve come to participate
in the April Meet. May the Northlands be blessed. – A warrior from Diela Tribe.
– A hero’s spirit. Returning his soul
to the Ninefold Horizons. Our tribe fears no cowards
who hide in the dark and tear out people’s hearts. If you’ve got the guts, come at us! – Diela!
– Diela! – Diela!
– Aren’t you ending April Meet masters? – This is the Yishi Tribe warrior.
– That’s me. Bring it on! – Yishi Tribe!
– Yishi Tribe! This is the first time I’ve seen such a quiet April Meet. The crowd doesn’t even stretch a mile. Stay alert. Stop talking nonsense. Yes. Is she participating too? She’s so beautiful. She… Is she here alone? No way. She’s competing too? Can she handle it? Yeah. Looks like she’s got skills. Which tribe do you belong to? No tribe, no affiliation. Name yourself. No name, no title. Just remember me as the best
in Northlands. The best in Northlands, huh? Entry fee’s 30 taels. What’s going on? Why’s she leaving? Not entering this time. You’re here. Got the goods? Got them. These kidneys aren’t fresh anymore. What are you waiting for?
Make your move. No rush. He won’t escape now. Mr. Commander. When he wakes up, it’ll be too late. Then he’ll have no choice but to disappear. (No Credit Allowed) It’s you. Brother. Get him! Ancestor of the Dead. You all… Ancestor of the Dead. What are you doing… (Dangerous action. Do not imitate.) It’s all charred. Use the branding iron
to stop the bleeding. Though painful, endure it. Eventually, the pain will fade. Didn’t you learn medicine? Don’t you know this? Ancestor of the Dead. I meant… It’s still bleeding. Once more. I’m back. Thirty taels. Do you have it? Well… Aren’t you guys business owners? You can’t even come up
with thirty taels? If you don’t have it, then earn it today. I don’t believe with my charm, his diligence, your math skills, and Han Ba’s cooking skills, we can’t make thirty taels in one day. – Dear Ancestor of the Dead…
– So you remembered the cook went home. No. How about we three just keep going? Sure. Then we’ll have more lives
lost on our hands than that murderer. Then just find someone else. – You mean
– I… Jiangchen, the Ancestor of the Dead,
what’s with your hair now? The arms are all your ancestors’. Can’t I just change my hair? So, you opened this shop to make money. What else? But do you really need money? Of course. Do you know how hard it is
to make an honest living in this world? But you’re not exactly honest folks. We don’t rob or plunder. We don’t cheat or swindle. And don’t even think
about forcing anyone. Fine, fine, fine. Open the shop. Good idea. By the way, why didn’t the girl come with you? They must’ve split up long ago. Who’d want to stick with a guy like him, lying to her face and deceiving her with a fake front? Thank you, Ancestors of the Dead,
for saving my life. I’m afraid I have pressing matters
to attend to. I’ll take my leave now. I suggest you don’t leave. Do you really think you can
walk out and survive? Surely you jest. It looks familiar. Had you not forced your energy just now to fight against the two of them, you wouldn’t be in this state. A few needles alone can’t heal you. Believe it or not… I believe you. Please, help me. You should have acted like this earlier. You’ve been to the Yin Mountains. You sure know a lot. I even know that you’re afflicted
with the Saman technique. Welcome to the Northlands. Please, Ancestor of the Dead,
lend me your aid. Can you cook? In the faraway, mysterious Northlands, there’s a shop, an antique stew shop. (No Credit Allowed) It has a shopkeeper, a bit unreliable. An assistant… A towering six-footer. The cook… You’ve changed outfits. Start the fire, cook the food, swept the floor, and did the dishes. A multitasking cook. And as for me, not exactly shrewd or capable, but undeniably the most
responsible accountant. (Clean and hygienic Central Plains Antiquity Stew)
Now officially open for business. Here we go. – Let’s do it, brother.
– Welcome! (Antique Stew Shop) (Antique Stew) Ancestor of the Dead, please treat me first. Dismissed. (Li Cunli) Lord Li. Long time no see. Greetings, Your Highness. So, Li Siyuan can’t protect you anymore? I beg Your Highness, allow me to stay in the Northlands. What use is there in letting you stay in Northlands? Whatever Your Highness orders, I shall do. Lord Li, why stoop so low? Take Lord Li to rest properly. Thank you, Your Highness. Qi Xiang, this man is quite shrewd. Watch over him for me. Yes, Your Highness. Wait. What’s the status of the murderer
at the April Meet? The murderer hasn’t acted recently. Ao Gu claims to have new leads
and is investigating them now. You may go. (Antique Stew) As for the matter of Baling Stone, what plans does Ancestor of the Dead have? May I ask, Ancestor of the Dead,
how you plan to heal me? You need to eat before you can
have the strength to recover. Ancestor of the Dead. Try this. Sis. I… Who are you calling Sis? Call me Thirteenth Matron. Thirteenth Matron, we had an agreement before. Listen carefully. My therapy doesn’t
rely on medicine. It uses the Spirit to cure ailments. As long as you can summon
the Spirit that matches you, you can master the healing technique. Spirit? Everyone has their own spiritual animal. That’s the Spirit. And this is…? This is the Saman Mage’s
medicine wheel for summoning Spirit. Try blowing it first and check the bottom of the pot. Saman… Using animals to heal. This… Ancestor of the Dead… Jiangchen… Where are you? The sun is shining bright, the flowers smile at me. Where are you going? Running an errand for him. OK. Come back quickly! Sister, have you seen Jiangchen? Over there. Where is she? She told me this Saman therapy. Doesn’t sound reliable at all. If this continues… The medicine wheel… You recognize this thing? You’ve asked the right person. Alright. I know you can’t do it. Better go ask Ancestor Hou Qing. Who said I can’t? It’s just a matter of blowing it. (No credit given.) Hou Qing. What do you need from me? Can this method really work? No medication, no acupuncture, just a piece of scrap metal
to cure illness? I still have a mission to complete. I urgently need my powers back. Back then, while trying to master the Ninefold Heaven Art,
Yinggou was seriously injured. I traveled to the Northlands, found the medicine wheel,
and helped her recover. Huh? You’ve been to the Northlands before? Indeed. It was during
my legendary life… Alright. Let’s not get into a long story. So, you’re saying this method is viable? If you believe, it works. If you don’t, it doesn’t. The key is still you. Me? Feeding, milking, cleaning waste, grooming… It all depends on whether you can find enlightenment in connecting with nature. Isn’t this just doing chores for you? Not quite. Having you do this is because… Fine, chores are chores. Just finish these tasks quickly, and teach me now. I’ve already said that I… Take it easy. If you keep being so tense, you’ll age faster. Follow me. But the chores aren’t done yet. Summoning the Spirit requires a peaceful mindset. Feel the power of nature. This is also (April Meet Selection Arena)
the key to the Saman therapy. (Arena) Just feel it. Peaceful. Relax. Hmm. Where’s my flute? Two coins. Have you seen my bag? No junk buying. My blade is gone, too. A great piece. 35 taels. Return my bag and flute. Five taels. I… (April Meet) (Arena) Next one. She wouldn’t sell them, right? She wouldn’t. She’s not heartless. She… She is… Anyone there? Customers are coming. Sorry for the wait. Welcome, my dear guests. My Lord. Please. I… We heard you’re doing business here
from the Central Plains. Our men were here not long ago. You specialize in offal. She mustn’t recognize me. You deal with her. I… Just tell me when you sit down. Hmm. From the signs, it’s better to turn them away. You didn’t need to
say it out. What are you muttering about? That one in the back, you look familiar. Have we met? This doesn’t look good. Use the umbrella to stun them,
Ancestor of the Dead! – My Lord is asking you a question.
– Yes. We have indeed met. You must be the great Suman, Ao Gu. I’m sure Ao Gu has noticed, I’m not only a Northlands man, but also a Saman Mage. You’re a Saman Mage? Exactly. This is our tribe’s language. It isn’t Saman language. It’s definitely Saman language. And it’s the long-lost ancient
Saman language of our Qingqingcao Tribe. It’s normal for young folks
to make no sense. Big talk. How will you prove it? Take a look. This is the medicine wheel
every Saman Mage has. What is your Spirit? Summon it and show us. Unfortunately, I sent it on another task
a few days ago. But, I can have it return even if it’s busy. Everyone, watch closely. (No credit allowed) (No credit allowed) A myriad of Spirits. Yours is a wild goose, his is a falcon, and mine… My Spirit is a spider. I’m a Saman Mage, and this is my Spirit. See? A spider. He’s truly a Saman Mage. He’s fine. Well… Let’s go. The murderer isn’t here. Let’s go. Understood. Ancestor of the Dead. Enough is enough. The sign says Gentlemen are easy to guard against, but villains are hard to deal with. But… You should have invited them to dinner. We’re already struggling
to make ends meet, and you want to serve them a meal? They were about to eat me instead! If it weren’t for me finding it… Where’s the Spirit? Where’s my Spirit? Ancestor of the Dead! Where’s my Spirit? That might not be your Spirit. (April Meet) The best hunters always treat themselves as prey. After wandering all day, I finally found you. Here you are. You took so many lives
at the April Meet, you must be formidable. Today give it your all. Is that all you’ve got? I was hoping you’d gut me. I thought you were tough. Ran off after just a few moves. It’s definitely not good enough. Never mind. Time to eat. Where’s the food? I’m starving. How dare you pawn my bag! Didn’t I bring it back for you? And here’s your flute. Where’s my blade? Well… Pay the April Meet registration fee. What? That crappy blade’s worth 30 taels. Is that what matters? So, you’re going to the April Meet? No. I just want a chance to meet that killer. Did that coward come to you? Did you finish him? He got away. But it doesn’t matter who it is. Got anything to eat? I’m starving. You let him get away? Wasn’t that 30 taels wasted then? Give me 30 taels. I’ll go meet him. I’ll finish him myself. The April Meet. It’s been quite unsettled lately. You guys, stay alert on patrol. Yes, sir. My Lord, Queen Yingtian returns to camp. Ao Gu. Ao Gu. Ao Gu. Ao Gu. I can do it. I can do it. Mother. Mother. Mother. Wipe away your tears. Don’t let anyone see. We promised that someday you would be the top warrior
of the Northlands. No more crying. I’ll remember my promise to you and keep it in my heart. – Heaven bless the Northlands.
– Heaven bless the Northlands. – Heaven bless the Northlands.
– Heaven bless the Northlands. – Heaven bless the Northlands.
– Heaven bless the Northlands. – Heaven bless the Northlands.
– Heaven bless the Northlands. I heard the top warrior
of the Northlands lost. If she hadn’t lost,
how could we have been defeated? Having a woman in charge
will undoubtedly lead to such results. If she lost, she’s not
the top warrior anymore. We should have held
the April Meet earlier to determine the true top warrior. Exactly. I think the Queen should step down too. I can do it. I can do it. I am the top warrior of the Northlands. Queen Yingtian returns to camp. Mother. Why are you wearing armor late at night? Is it about the murderer? There are new leads. I’m heading to investigate. Hurry up. Move. =Episode 3=
=Sincere Words= (Everyone) (has fear.) (They fear death,) (unknowns,) (and the deep-seated) (instinctual desires.) (They fear the darkness ahead) (and the fleeting joy of the moment.) (Even more, they fear) (the memories from nightmares
they can’t forget.) What are you doing? Can’t sleep. Going for a walk. Looks like you took something
to pawn, huh? Take off your clothes and show me. Strip down, leave nothing on. What are you doing? It’s dark and slippery. Be careful. Why are you stopping me? Can’t you see she’s acting suspicious? Mind your own business. Let go of me! Hey! I’m telling you. If my stuff goes missing, I’ll… I’ll finish you. It’s pretty far just to go for a walk? I don’t believe you. The restaurant isn’t doing well. I can understand her
going a bit further. Ancestor. Didn’t you say to mind our own business? I said not to mind her business. Not yours. Ours? You two, hurry up! Don’t lose her now. Am I really this powerful now? This is Yin Mountain. Commander! It’s an ambush! This place is dangerous. You all go first. No! Commander! Go! Commander! Commander! Retreat! Ancestor! It’s dangerous here. Move! Go! Ancestor! That old woman is still up there. Sister! Are you sure about this path? I’m sure. Ancestor. There are traps set at the base
of Yin Mountain. I fell for them last time. These falling rocks are actually… Ancestor, watch out! On these objects, there’s internal energy. Someone doesn’t welcome us here. By attaching internal energy to objects, they use the smallest force
to harness the power of the world. Is this the Saman technique
of the Northlands? This formation… How many people would it take
to pull off? Ancestor, watch out! Tired. I don’t feel like dodging anymore. Brother. What are you doing? Duo… Kuo… Huo… Better not let Yinggou out. It’ll get messy. I’m just going to meet
an old acquaintance. Wait for me to return. I’ll tell you everything then. I just want to know one thing. Will you still run the shop? Yes. Then go ahead. We won’t follow you anymore. Let’s go. Follow her! Ancestor! If I’m not mistaken, the whip she’s carrying has Yin Mountain Baling Stone. You just realized that? Huh? You never asked us before. Where are you going? Up the mountain. Just now you and Ancestor Jiangchen… We’re here now. Might as well go take a look. Let’s go. Uh… Em. Ancestor. Em. This place feels ominous. Ancestor? Let’s stop here for now. I’ll do a reading to see
what lies ahead. Ancestor. Em. Where’s Sister? Huh? Don’t panic. She’s probably just not here. Wow! This place is perfect for a shop! Not only does it have hot springs,
but the air is so fresh. Most importantly, there’s no rent! So many wild veggies. Not sure if they’re edible or not. Oh, who cares? I’ll just take them back first. I’m going to make a fortune! I’m still the one doing most
of the thinking for this shop. In the end, I am the one who truly… A ghost! Sister! Be careful! Who are these people? Women. I can see that. No, no, no! Don’t come over here! Oh my, what is this? Ancestor. Yes? You should’ve let me finish
that divination just now. Duo Kuohuo. Long time no see. Si Yudan. I’m glad. You’re alive, and so am I. Yes, we’re both still here. We should owe it all to that person. But he’s already gone. So, what is the living one doing here? The Queen of the Northlands has gone
to great lengths to hold the April Meet. The victor can claim
the Baling Stone on this wall. Is this your will? The person you’re looking for will appear because of the April Meet. This is the prophecy. The person I’m seeking should appear because of me. Duo Kuohuo. (Ninefold Heaven Art) The technique is complete. (Ninefold Heaven Art) How many years has it been? Even though I always knew this day would come, I never imagined my small sapling would grow into this. Si Yudan. Congratulations. We should both celebrate. Now, you can see the prophecy’s image. The Northlands’ warrior will come with
the divine eagle Xiongkulu and take the power of the Baling Stone to protect the Northlands. But, Si Yudan, maybe finding that person will cost you everything. Don’t forget what you
promised to do for me. Take care of your friends first. Those little ones won’t listen to me. Don’t worry. My friends don’t need me to worry about them. I’m always worrying about my shop. Now who’s going to worry about me? Ah! It’s doomed. Ah! A ghost! A bicolor iris! Ah! Help! How is it possible? The Huayang Needle isn’t working! Ancestor! Hurry and save her! I’m about to fall! There’s something about it. Where’s Yinggou? I don’t know. Ancestor! What are these? They’re tree maidens. Tree what? They look like ghosts to me! According to legend, there was a dark
Saman technique in the Northlands. It could use certain plants to
sacrifice a person’s spiritual energy. From then on, they would
live by the water, free from knowledge or pain, never dying, never fading. Ancestor, you sure know a lot. Back when I was wandering
the Northlands… Enough. Got it. What kind of plant is so terrifying? Most likely, it’s those wildflowers you picked. I knew it. I shouldn’t have touched
something that came for free. How’s your injury? I can manage for now. But not for long. If they really are tree maidens, then they can’t be finished. Let’s get out of here! They may not fear life or death, but they must have a weakness. Of course they do. Ancestor, what is their weakness? How about you let me divine it first? I… Although their skills are not great, at this rate, they’ll wear us down. Could it be… They can’t see. Shh! This is too fun! Help! Humph. Time to eat! Your Highness, someone has trespassed on Yin Mountain. Such a minor issue, why make a fuss? But, Your Highness, this time the trespassers
on Yin Mountain… They escaped alive. Your Highness, the Holy Relic is safe. But the trespassers are nowhere to be found. Qi Xiang, go to the Heavenly Prison. Bring that person to me. Your Highness, though Balishensu possesses
strange abilities, he is cruel and extremely dangerous. If you release him… Qi Xiang, follow my orders. Bring him here. Also, announce my decree. The April Meet will be moved up to three days from now. Understood. Mother. Someone trespassed on Yin Mountain
and escaped unharmed. Where are you? I’m investigating the murderer
from the April Meet case. Don’t we both already know who the murderer is? Since the Sage said you’re not the one
to take the Baling Stone, why are you so persistent? Being the top warrior
of the Northlands… Is it that important? And do you think the perople
you disemboweled would be the one I’m looking for? I defeated them. So what? Killing is your way of doing things. But don’t you think it’s childish? Do you really think this will scare everyone off
from joining the April Meet? Mother, have you considered what if I lose? Then you should be happy. Because it means someone who can truly bring
prosperity to the Northlands has finally emerged. I… But… You need me. Now everyone, including you, knows you’re not that person anymore. – Your Highness.
– Your Highness. You… You need me. Your mask is already shattered. Let go of what you need to let go of. It’s time for someone else to wear this mask. Ao Gu. I come today with a request. You need me. You need me to help you survive in the Northlands. Take this. I’ll show you what to do. I can’t help you. You’re doomed. And so am I. I have always been able to do it. Wipe your tears. Don’t let anyone see. (Antique Stew) All three of you. Was that really necessary? Do you know what we went through? The earth trembled, the mountains shook. Boulders and logs rolled down. We barely made it out alive. Almost got buried,
but let’s not dwell on that. In the woods back there, there was a monster! It was doing this and that. I almost got eaten! Didn’t we agree you’d wait for me? We told you to come back quickly. Hey! That suona you just played sounded great. What kind of talk is that? You can say more. I love hearing honest words. It’s just a small tear in the wound. Ancestor Hou Qing.
There’s no need for that. Ancestor Jiangchen is from the Northlands. Emm… You just found out? The stone on your drum whip
is just the Baling Stone. I just learned that too. This thing… Someone gave it to me ages ago. It’s said there are eight Baling Stones. Over two hundred years ago,
the Yuling Tribe in the Northlands had a leader who acquired one
of the Yin Mountain Baling Stones. Before the tribe was wiped out, he passed the Baling Stone
to his daughter, Si Yudan. Are you the one who stole Si Yudan’s item? She is Si Yudan. Oh. That Degenerate Commander
is really something. First time in the Northlands,
I definitely read the guides. So you’ve been searching for people
to practice the Ninefold Heaven Art. It’s all connected to it, isn’t it? Hmm. Why not have a drink first? Come on. Pour it full! (Antique Stew) You’re saying she’s Si Yudan. So what? She brought us to the Northlands to open a shop? So what? What’s more important than that? Feeding cattle and sheep,
chopping wood and making fire, early to bed and early to rise. All of that matters. But making money is what really matters. Whoever she is, we’ve trusted our lives to each other for a long time now. Haven’t we? So the person you wanted to see is Duo Kuohuo? The one who set up obstacles for us… It’s just her? I’m not even sure we can still call her human. And what does she have to do with Shu Liduo’s April Meet? Relax. Duo Kuohuo doesn’t serve anyone. She’s just waiting for a Northlands warrior who can
claim the Baling Stone. That person will ride the divine eagle Xiongkulu, soar through the skies, and land atop the Yin Mountain to retrieve that darn Baling Stone. Whoever can master
the divine eagle Xiongkulu will be able to take the Baling Stone. Xiongkulu is rare. The one who can conquer it is an exceptional individual. Then this exceptional individual can master the Ninefold Heaven Art. Exceptional individuals are all tough. But we are all soft spots. Might as well just be ordinary people. Only ordinary people would
risk their lives just to protect the ones
they want to protect. Li Xingyun, if one day you ultimately lose her, what will you do? Don’t worry, Degenerate Commander. You and I… We’re not going to be enemies. =Episode 4=
=Xiongkulu= Wake up early. Open for business. It’s done. What’s up? No customers again? Huh? What? Saw a ghost? It’s the God of Wealth! Here he comes! Hey, it’s open! Finally opened! Do you know how long we’ve been waiting? Hurry up and feed my horse. Boss! Two liang of dumplings. Two jin of buns. Coming right up! After this meal, don’t follow me anymore. Why are you sitting there? Got the wrong guy. You stole my woman! Stop flattering yourself. I’ll destroy you. Come on. Bring it on! Dear guests, our humble shop
has just opened. Please forgive us for any shortcomings. Before you eat, there are two things. First, all who dine here must lay down their armor and weapons. No fighting allowed. – What’s up?
– So what if I’m looking at you? Want to test me? Take him down! Come on! No fighting allowed! The first rule. – Lay down your weapons.
– Lay down your weapons. – No fighting allowed!
– No fighting allowed! All right. Next, the most important second rule. Our shop is about to launch a new dish. Anyone who wants eagle meat,
raise your hand. Anyone who wants eagle meat,
raise your hand. Good. No time like the present. Let’s go find some eagles. Dismissed. Sister, you’re just
forcing the conversation back onto the topic
of finding Xiongkulu. Let’s go find eagles! Move out! What about us? Start cooking. Help yourselves. While you wait, drinks are on the house. Water’s free, but not the wine. Ancestor, where are we going? To the Chute Tribe. What tribe? They say it’s better
to have a bite of birds than half a pound of beasts. The Chute Tribe has all sorts
of rare birds and beasts. The best eagles in all the Northlands are there. Liao Za Lie! (That’s marvelous) So, Ancestor, are we here for the eagles or for someone? Obviously, we’re here for the eagles. They say the Chute Tribe is a lush paradise with
green mountains and fertile grasslands, teeming with animals. It’s like a hidden Shangri-La. Green hills, clear waters. This must be the remains of Shangri-La. These treacherous peaks
and uninhabited lands… It’s often said that remote
and desolate regions tend to produce crafty, scheming people. This place might hold hidden surprises. Let’s go. Catch some eagles. Eagles! Wait. Hold on, hold on. Eagles! What are you doing? Outsiders. Before the tribe’s blades cut you down, leave this place. Who are you? Destroy them. We’re here to trade. Hmm. Sincerely. Fairly and honestly. Turns out it was all a misunderstanding. Honored guests have arrived. Tribesmen! Welcome them. (A Bi, Chute Tribe’s Yilijin) Come, come, come. This way, please. – Where did you get the gold ingot?
– From your bag. I just found it too. What? Old woman! Give them back to me. Give them back! I’ll destroy you! Guests from afar, Give it back! you must be exhausted from your journey. The Chute Tribe will offer you
the finest food, drinks, and baths facilities. The company of handsome men
and beautiful women. And the best soft beds. Soft beds. My back! Hmm. (Looks like it’s not here.) Are you just stopping by,
or staying the night? They’re here to rob us. We want your largest eagle. Eagles are sacred to the Chute Tribe. As the Yilijin, I must know why you need an eagle. You’re the Yilijin? Yes. What else? To eat it, of course. If that’s the case, then let’s settle the accounts properly. Gourmet food, drinks, and baths takes one tael each. The company takes five taels,
seven maces. That’s a total of eight taels,
seven maces. Additionally, since ancient times, many have come
to the Chute Tribe to hunt eagles. Being part of nature, they follow the laws
of survival of the fittest. If you have the ability
to catch an eagle, I, as Yilijin, must comply with fate. However, the mighty eagles
and rare birds of these grasslands have been cared for by my tribe
for generations. Bridge tolls, feed costs, forest protection fees,
and lodging fees… None of those can be skipped. This is a rip-off! Sister, you’re quite a genius! You’re amazing at making money! Now, about the eagles and birds… A sparrowhawk costs fifteen maces. A yellow eagle costs three flat. Are you all right? Ah, it slipped by accident. We’re not here for baby eagles. What we’re looking for is Xiongkulu. Fellows. Seize them! Your way of capturing people is quite unique. You’re here to conquer Xiong…Xiong… Xiongkulu. Ah, yes, yes. You’re warriors trying to conquer Xiongkulu. You’re the heroes we admire. We’ll send you on your way. – Ah, yes.
– Ah, yes. Watch out! Up ahead! We’re about to crash! You elders are quite skilled. Not only skilled, but also familiar. So what exactly does Xiongkulu look like? You’d have to start the story with the sun above. Go to the Queen’s camp. Hurry! Tell Grandpa Chala to leave
once he’s there. But Yilijin… As for the rest, leave it to me. Yes. Xiongkulu is the divine eagle that flew down from the sun. Legend has it, it’s covered in black feathers
with jade-white talons. That’s nonsense. Xiongkulu is covered
in rainbow feathers. You’re talking nonsense. Xiongkulu is covered in black feathers. None of that’s right. It’s golden. Old men, stop stalling. If you’re going to trap us, at least make the traps better. Youngsters, I wanted to take a gentle approach, so you’d surrender peacefully. But since you’ve made things difficult, don’t blame us old folks for being rough. That’s amazing! Using a wild boar trap to deal with us. Who do you think we are? This hammock is a bit cramped. We’re taking the kid. Don’t try anything funny. Hmm. Skills are well-kept. I’ll take a look. If my sister gets out, things might get tricky. You’re quite compassionate. They’re just foolish, not malicious. Come back quickly. We’re left behind. Shh! Don’t let them find out. Ancestor, we… We’ve got Hou Qing, and that’s enough. Hey. Have you ever seen a glacier before? Ancestor. This is amazing. I’ve never seen such a huge glacier before. Next time I bring my friends
to the Northlands, we’ll visit here again. Do you still remember? Do you see where that is? I know. Let’s go. You’re awake. Who am I? Have I seen her? Come on. Go. I’m not going. We’ll face it together. I’ll remember you. The place we’re going… Is it there? That’s Eagle Peak, the highest point
of the sacred mountain. If we walk there, it’ll take several days. Gita. That’s the holy ground only the divine eagle Xiongkulu
can reach. Let’s go. Gita. Let’s see who gets there first. The injuries haven’t healed yet. Ancestor. How about we not race this time? Young man. Welcome to Gita. Rowing against the current,
you must move forward or fall behind. Climbing Gita, the perch of Xiongkulu, is no easy feat. Ancestor. Your lightness skill is quite distinctive. Hmm. Want to learn it? No. It just looked familiar. Hmm. Looks like nothing escapes you. Hmm. Ah… This is so delicious! Such an adorable girl. Let’s not hand her over to the Queen. Yeah. Ah, yes, yes. No way. Each one of them is tough to deal with. Except for that blonde girl, they don’t look like Northlanders. It’s possible they’re connected to the villains
of the April Meet. Yilijin has already called
for help from the Queen. We can’t… Take it easy, Bro. Hmm. Brother, come taste this. It’s delicious. Little girl, go back. Don’t get hurt. Let’s go. I’m not going. I’m not done eating yet. Fine. I didn’t catch on earlier. Fellows, follow my lead! Oh… Right. Thank you. Farewell. Ancestor. On this Gita, is there another Duo Kuohuo? This is different. Ancestor. Off you go. Ancestor Jiangchen. Huh? That lightness skill… I want to learn it. Get lost. Ancestor. Next time don’t kick the face. Who would’ve thought even that couldn’t stop you all. You all are truly impressive. But, even so, you still won’t find Xiongkulu. We mean no harm. She’s right. This place has long been abandoned. Abandoned? There never was a divine eagle here. It’s just a legend. A legend? You’re Yilijin of the Chute Tribe. I am. Why keep this banner? You… You mean to… If Xiongkulu is just a legend, why keep the Yuling Tribe’s
eagle banner? Who are you, really? I’m your ancestor. Since you’ve forgotten Xiongkulu, you don’t deserve to have this banner. Ah! Stop! As Yilijin, you’ve forsaken your faith. This eagle banner… You’re unworthy of it. You haven’t experienced
what have I experienced. What do you know? Why should the Chute Tribe stay in this godforsaken place and guard this darn Gita? I’ve never seen any divine eagle, any Xiongkulu. When we were almost wiped out, Xiongkulu didn’t protect us. No one protected us. If you don’t want to protect Gita, and don’t believe
in Xiongkulu’s existence, then why keep that eagle banner? That evil demon Balishensu slaughtered the village in search of secret techniques. My parents… Everyone fought and passed away. Only my grandparents and I survived. Only this banner remains. Then why stay here? The Queen said that if we captured
those seeking Xiongkulu, she’d ensure my people
never lacked food or clothing. Never lacked food or clothing? Then what does the Chute Tribe
mean to you? It’s just a poor and weak village
that fell into decline centuries ago. Without the Queen, we’d have been wiped out long ago. Ancestor. This place hasn’t been
the glorious Yuling Tribe for ages. Yuling Tribe? What Xiongkulu? What divine eagle? What faith? It’s all the same
as the Ninefold Horizons. Completely meaningless. All of it is just hollow nonsense. In that case, I’ll destroy it for you. Ancestor. No! No! No! Father, Mother. I… I broke my promise. I still couldn’t protect anything. Father, Mother. A Bi is here. If nothing has meaning, then why try to stop us? To survive. As long as there’s a sliver of hope. A Yilijin must not give up. What you protect is not meaningless. It is the bond that connects you all. Your people are waiting
for you to come home. Come home. Beg me to save you. What? Beg me to save you. Please. I can’t lose my life. I can’t meet my end now. Please. Please save me. Please. Ancestor. Save me. Ancestor. Hurry! Please. Save me. You… Who are you really? I am your ancestor. And that Balishensu, right? I see now. You should leave quickly. I’ve already informed the Queen. Her troops might be arriving soon. Ancestor. If Xiongkulu has vanished, how will the prophecy
of the Northern Warrior ever come true? It was never us who chose
the divine eagle. It chose us. Xiongkulu disappeared because the Chute Tribe
no longer believed in it. It’s also because the Northlands
no longer need it. Then the Ninefold Horizons… Is it also a faith of the Northlanders? All you need to know is, Duo Kuohuo’s prophecies have never been wrong. Leave quickly. Shu Liduo’s people might already be on their way. Is it good? Not bad. Ah. You’re back. Look! What’s this? What are you doing? Hey! Don’t leave. I still need to take you back. It’s back. Go. Find your Yilijin. It came back. Why did you let it go? So what were we here for today? Come home and take a look. Come home… I still think Yuling Tribe
sounds better than Chute Tribe. Let’s go. What’s that? Hey, old woman. Give me back my eagle. I told you You can’t take this Magical Crystal There is only one way to remove it =Episode 5=
=Plotting= Someone has trespassed into the Fen Tian Qi Training Pagoda. As a member of the Yi Li Jin, you knew but did not report. Do you know your crime? Abi knows her crime. The queen is merciful Considering your youth, you are only given a whipping Your rations for this month are not confiscated Thank you, Queen Our Abi has grown up too Bali Shen Su (Fang Esq.) Fight God Queen Help me All the sacred items are yours But you are mine As they say, simple ingredients often require the most sophisticated cooking methods. I just realized that the problem with the restaurant is not with the ingredients, nor with the decor, nor with the presence of a murderer, causing panic among people. It is us who haven’t been sincere. Sincerely chopping vegetables, sincerely stir-frying, sincerely simmering, and sincerely garnishing. As long as we are sincere, treating each task as if it were the last thing we do in this life, we can create the best restaurant in the world. Sis, the pot base is coming. Hey, hey, hey, I’m taking this spot. Antique soup, antique soup, coming. Antique soup, Wow, Wen Taiji, Wanyan Zang, the pot is here. No fighting. Finish this meal. Stop following me. You’re not in the kitchen, you’re slacking off here. Your token is nice. You all are here to attend the April Meeting. Yes. The April Meeting has been moved up. The rules have changed too. Hurry up Boss – Why haven’t you served the dishes yet?
– Sis Pot base Ah Coming Boss, add water What are you doing? Don’t rush Why isn’t it here yet? – Hey, it’s coming
– Been waiting forever 1.7 taels 1.8 taels 1.9 taels One One coin Two coins – Sigh
– Three coins Four coins Five coins I kind of understand why you opened a shop – To make money
– Hmm Maybe these days are like carefree clouds and wild cranes Rest, rest We still need to buy ingredients early tomorrow You Are you going to the April Meeting? Ah The April Meeting has been moved up to tomorrow From the arena competition to an abandoned village Ah Hmm This whole thing reeks of conspiracy Besides I’m the one participating in the April Meeting We are family It’s about the Ba Lin Stone I must go and investigate the truth about Shuli Duo Okay With your words, I’m relieved Since we are family, no need for more words Everyone should rest early We’ll leave for the April Meeting early tomorrow We’ve been tricked Jiang Chen Shizu Why do we have to attend this April Meeting? Of course, to find the April Meeting’s culprit Didn’t you already find the culprit? We still need to find someone to practice After practicing We’ll take the Ba Lin Stone After taking the Ba Lin Stone What will Shizu do next? What’s up An acquaintance Looking for you Li Cunli Met the Emperor Met several Ancestor Corpses Li Cunli Are you here to seek death? Commander, you are mistaken Such an interesting eatery Opened in this remote place I wonder if the Queen of North Desert will want to taste it too Will she also want to come and taste it? It seems Lord Li Has become a person of North Desert Commander You also have new backing We love peace Always remain neutral Welcome to spend No fighting allowed Here today To introduce someone to you all Oh my God She, she, she is the one Who wants to help Ying Gou kill me Hello Hello You mean that Xu Duocheng wants to offer everyone attending the April meeting to this Fight God To be precise it is the Fight Brothers He has a brother Fight God Yu The two of them, for the forbidden technique almost slaughtered the entire Chu Te tribe The Fight clan expelled them but ended up being exterminated The enraged king used all the nation’s power at the cost of three thousand warriors’ lives to subdue Fight God Su But his brother, Fight God Yu is still missing So this Fight God Su is very powerful And you want to use my hand to kill him That’s right The great princess of the northern desert The eldest princess of Queen Ying would actually betray her own mother Would I believe it? Mother has already gone mad Maybe I have gone mad too Ma Shuai probably doesn’t want the person chosen by the queen to get the Ba Lin Stone Hmph It’s just that we’ve taken this job to manipulate things behind the scenes I can’t tolerate it Big Sis What are you doing It’s the Great Heiman, right Ancestor Shi’s descendant Nice to meet you Hello Back to the main topic This forbidden technique obtained by Bali Shen Su should be the forbidden technique left by the Yu Ling tribe back then Those tree women at the foot of Yin Mountain are his creations Exactly The two of them studied the Heiman forbidden technique by absorbing others’ inner strength to nourish their own cultivation The tree women of Yin Mountain were created by his younger brother, Bali Shen Yu They are all the skins and bodies of those who were harmed and absorbed His elder brother, Bali Shen Su is skilled in formations Da He Feng used to be his man Without his help we wouldn’t have been able to subdue Bali Shen Su so easily I just didn’t expect that he would end up dying at your hands. It wasn’t It wasn’t me. Don’t talk nonsense. Oh. So this time, the one overseeing in April is Brother Bali Shensu. That’s right. Tonight, this person will set up a magic array in the deserted village. The gist of the incantation: The iris returns to me from the forest. If the magic array is completed, everyone in April will become Bali Shensu’s nourishment. It’s just a magic array that can have such power The two of them once relied on the magic array to slaughter the entire Bali clan overnight No one can survive in his magic array Back then, Da He Feng betrayed and destroyed the magic array But now Only before his magic array is completed kill him That’s right Okay Then kill him Get the brothers to perk up No matter what happens inside Do not go in and disturb If something goes wrong I’ll take your heads Yes I’ve seen it. Can’t get around it. Hmm. The Ancestor wants to personally avenge Abi, right? That’s right. Then you should come by yourself. Why bring me along? They’re looking for you. They kindly came to accompany you. Speaking of which, if this Bali Shensu really practiced the forbidden technique of the Feather Spirit Department back then, then tonight will surely be extremely dangerous. You can go without worry. Leave the shop work to me. That tree woman is too scary. I’m not going. Aren’t you afraid that when you’re alone, they’ll come looking for you again? Ah. Then I’ll stay too. (Kaiyuan Tongbao) Take care. Remember to buy the ingredients for tomorrow. Safe travels. Goodbye. Ah. Sis. You were the one who took the order. Yet you still came along. You trust me again? There are some things the ancestor doesn’t want to say. I won’t ask anymore. Let’s find a way to get in first. Be good. Great-grandma will take you. Fly in. Ancestor Hou Qing hasn’t used this thing for a long time. Is it still reliable? It should be. Don’t say “should be.” Corpse Ancestor of corpses What are you afraid of I still have my spiritual offspring If today goes smoothly You will also have your own spiritual offspring What Li Xingyun Ah Do you dare to bet with me Ah Ba Ling Stone You are Ba Li Shen Su Sorry to interrupt your formation The only legendary one existing Ba Ling Stone is in the hands of the descendants of the Yu Ling tribe But back in the Chu Te tribe I never saw you If I were there back then you wouldn’t be alive now Hand over the sacred item I nonsense so much I heard you have a younger brother If he isn’t dead dare to call him out too Why call my brother Come out and die together Other than throwing confetti, can’t you do anything else? Annoying What is this? So flashy. Drive the tiger to swallow the wolf. Master Li, what a great strategy. No matter who lives or dies, for us, it’s all good news. But that Bali Shen Su, is not so easy to deal with. Formation Complete (Damn) To deal with you, I don’t even need a big formation. (This dust) (is poisonous) Your lightness skill just now, you are indeed from the Chu Special Unit. Coward Is this all you can do? Relying only on a piece of stone How long can you hold out? Darn it Is it ever going to end? If you have guts, come out Alright Here I come Full Do you still need to practice when full? I will turn you into flower fertilizer Where are you going? Today You and the sacred artifact must stay here. Who are you? Listen up. I work at her shop. Killed him If I were at my peak He would be completely dead Take care then Now I’m injured Sis Don’t mess with me Feel this formation Li Xingyun Use the method I taught you to feel the spiritual energy This is the most direct contact with the art of fullness For both injuries and spiritual energy It is beneficial Sis Li This fog is also poisonous. We both studied medicine. Are we still afraid of a little poison? Xiao Li Protect me. Wow Sis You really don’t move (Li Xingyun) (You are truly a genius) (If it weren’t for the limitations of the technique) (If you could practice the Nine Nether Heavenly Divine Skill again) (Then everything) (Would be much smoother than now) Hello Little gardener If you have no work, go home and grow vegetables You will pay for your reckless words with a price Formation Shift What Can’t move No matter who you are Today you will all stay here Li Xingyun Do you dare to make a bet with me? Ancestor of Corpses This is the Northern Desert Wolf Poison Flower Those poisoned won’t survive for the time it takes an incense stick to burn This is also part of your plan If he is indeed practicing the forbidden techniques of the Feather Spirit Division Then he will eventually use the power of the formation to absorb our vital essence At that time – Delicious
– He – Extremely delicious
– will also be severely poisoned You How do you have the Wolf Poison Flower on you? You will also be poisoned But you have the Yang Transformation Needle to delay the toxicity I have already placed the antidote in your bag If you don’t trust me Just take it Why doesn’t it taste good anymore? Hey Bali Shen Su The last one who sucked me should have just been reincarnated now. Why are you running? There’s still a big gift that hasn’t been delivered yet. Ancestor of Corpses Help me ♪Looking back again♪ Kill him Got it Queen ♪Breaking through the stormy waves♪ ♪Covered in this evil moonlight♪ ♪Full of impermanence♪ ♪Stained with red wounds♪ ♪Unyielding in the raging waves♪ ♪Breaking through the long night of confusion♪ ♪Even if I overestimate myself♪ ♪Turning the darkness into dawn again♪ ♪Even if I shatter, so what♪ ♪All will eventually be forgotten

Now I can relax. Ah. What’s wrong? She She came back empty-handed. Didn’t buy any groceries. I’m so mad! That old woman Doesn’t care about this shop at all Can’t stand it Can’t stand it Lock the door Yes Lock the door Make her buy groceries Make her buy groceries If she doesn’t bring them back Don’t let her come back home Chase Drive Giddy up! Queen Dawn is approaching. Bali Shensu is still missing. He is already dead. The one who can kill him must be an extraordinary master. (Killing someone is easy) (The hard part is) How to make someone come back to life Everyone believes that in the great battle years ago only Bali Shensu was captured. Little did they know, the one truly practicing forbidden arts was inside his own body. (It is indeed his younger brother.) (Bali Divine Jade) Giddy up! Brother! Brother! (Barishen Jade) Protect me! Kneel. Queen. Your Majesty the Queen. I’ll do whatever you ask of me. Please, I beg you. Please, I beg you to like me. A cat that can’t even catch a mouse. What use do I have for it? Speak. Who killed you last night? There were two people. A man. A woman. The man is from the Central Plains. Central Plains native. Queen. They trespassed into Yin Mountain and Jita. I’m afraid they’re involved as well. A Central Plains native capable of this. Might be an Unorthodox. Unorthodox. Shall we issue a kill order to all tribes immediately? April Gathering. Isn’t it the perfect time to hunt them down? Kill them. You won’t get another chance. Your Majesty the Queen. Shenyu. Move the April Gathering to another location. If Shenyu catches the mouse, Shenyu can be rewarded. Did you eat her? As you wish. Giddy up! It hurts so much. It hurts so much. Good thing you guys are here. Otherwise, we really would have died here. =Episode 6=
=April Meeting= Wait for him to wake up. The April meeting might be over by then. Let’s wait a bit longer. Or else, should we try killing another one? Then we might as well just let him die. Do you know how expensive a cow is? It’s not easy to make some money. And now we’ve spent it all on cows. Place the seriously injured inside the cow’s belly. After a while, he will surely wake up. It shouldn’t be taking this long. He has a hundred years of cultivation in his body. Plus the Nine Nether Yin energy. That’s why his reaction is so intense. If by chance this time, he can trigger his qi and summon the spiritual embryo, then he’ll have overcome this hurdle. For his future, it will be greatly beneficial. Then wouldn’t he become even stronger? What is that? That’s so scary. Li Xingyun Yong Yaolun April Meeting was actually held as usual. And you even changed the location. Could it be that Bali Shensu isn’t dead? Are you absolutely sure about the surrendered minister, the Ancestor of Corpses? Is it really that funny? We’re just happy for you. Healing your injuries. Summon the spiritual descendant. A joyous occasion. Congratulations. Venerable Lord of the Fallen, How much longer will this situation last? You’ve just awakened your spiritual bloodline. Give it some time. It will be fine once the spiritual energy dissipates. Oh. Then, the venue for the April tournament— Where has it been moved to? It’s at the former site of the Feather Spirit Division. It’s surrounded by mountains on three sides. Easy to enter, hard to leave. It’s a natural prison. That place is eerily solemn. It’s completely lifeless. No matter what tricks are going on there, I still want to go and see for myself. What new tricks could Shuliduo possibly pull this time? I want to go with you. Because I have a big plan. (April Society’s Selection Arena) April Society offers the Yinshan Balin Stone as a prize to attract countless warriors to come here and fight for their lives. Those who are deceived by appearances are often the ones who overlook a very simple truth. And that is before setting out, you should have a good meal. Watermelon! Watermelon here! Fresh watermelon! Try before you buy! Don’t just walk by, don’t miss out! Watermelon! Fresh watermelon! I think she just wants to make money. But she shouldn’t embarrass herself by setting up a stall here. How much for the watermelon? Coming, coming! Are your watermelons guaranteed to be ripe? I run a fruit stall, would I sell you an unripe melon? What I’m asking is, are these watermelons guaranteed to be ripe? Where’s my April Society badge? My badge is missing too. Mine as well. Mine is gone too. It’s missing as well. Who is this? What’s going on here? She’s over there. Don’t run. Catch her. (April Society) Got her. Your person. April Society has a big conspiracy. You can’t go in. You must be crazy from being broke. Listen to me. Believe me. You really can’t go in. See what else she stole. You can’t go in. This is all a conspiracy. Listen to me, all of you. Listen to me. Let’s all go together. Go together. Everything I’m saying is true. Believe me. Who are you? Where did you come from? What do you want to do? What are you doing? Deal with you. You should’ve said you were inviting us to eat melon and cool off. No need to be so polite. We didn’t lose anything, right? Exactly. You’re really too polite. If you’d said so earlier, we wouldn’t have misunderstood. You think stealing their waist tokens can stop the April Meeting? I just want to tell everyone the truth. Coming to the April Meeting is a death sentence. The people inside are Bali Shensu is already dead. Warriors of the Northern Desert compete for supremacy. The April Gathering selects one among thousands. Warriors of the Northern Desert compete for supremacy. The April Gathering selects one among thousands. Warriors of the Northern Desert compete for supremacy. The April Gathering selects one among thousands. Warriors of the Northern Desert compete for supremacy. The April Gathering selects one among thousands. Isn’t this the Eagle Banner of the Yuling Tribe? Seize the Eagle Banner. The first person to emerge after sunrise will become the leader of the April Gathering. The greatest warrior of the Northern Desert will be granted the Yinshan Baling Stone. and together with the queen, usher in a golden age for the Northern Desert. It’s the old site of the Yuling Tribe again. And the Yuling Tribe’s eagle banner again. Could it be that Bali Shensu is really not dead? What do you mean? She wants to play guessing games. Then let’s play along. Let’s go. You all, you stay. Why? To sell melons. Warriors of all tribes, the time has come. Here I formally announce the April Grand Gathering is officially beginning. Surrendered official Since you’re already here Ancestor of the Dead Isn’t this the Iridescent Iris We saw it last night Then haven’t we already entered the formation? That’s right We’ve already entered the formation Ancestor of the Dead Aren’t we just walking right into the trap? Yeah I think so Like catching a turtle in a jar This isn’t anything special. The eagle standard is in his hands. How did it end up in his hands? Xiong Kulu You’re here. You’re here. I knew it. This place I chose and this flag I brought were all prepared for you. Are you satisfied? My princess. Interesting. Where’s your brother? My brother? Hand over the eagle standard. And I’ll spare your life. Sorry. I forgot about you flower fertilizers. Forget it. Let’s eat first. What is this? What’s going on? Everyone, be careful. Princess Please mount the horse. Ancestor of the Undead Be careful, it could be a trap. Don’t worry. This is my territory. Step back, step back. Move back. Everyone, move back. By order of the Queen. To ensure the smooth progress of the April meeting, it is now decided to seal the entrance until a winner is determined. Houqing Shizu. Aren’t you worried about the surrendered ancestor? In my years of experience, when she’s not here, we’re the safest. This smoke isn’t poisonous. It seems different from what we encountered yesterday. It’s still not quite the same. A wall. Why is there a wall here? This… Houqing Shizu. I see it. Let’s go. Mm. It seems we’ve entered an illusion again. (Proverb)
Sheep pass over the high mountains Goats fall into the deep valleys Steeds run on the sunny beaches Yellow cattle rest in the sheltered bay If you turn things upside down, nothing goes right But if you stand upright, you can catch a big camel Princess All these illusions along the way were prepared for you by me Do you like them? It seems the princess saw her past self and isn’t very happy about it You are Bali Shenyu That’s me Interesting You and your brother’s aura are almost exactly the same Last night, you killed my brother and beat us badly But it doesn’t matter As long as you’re willing to play with me I’ll still like you Play with you? Aren’t you afraid I’ll play you to death? Nothing would please me more. If you win, kill me just like you killed my brother. You lost. Let me think. What should I do with you? I won. Let’s change the reward. Kill you. I’m not interested. Let’s begin. What do you mean? Go back. Anyone who leaves without permission will die. There are monsters in there. We… You… Go back. Anyone who leaves without permission… …will die. I… …am leaving. What’s going on? Something’s not right, something’s not right. What’s happening? The April Society has never been on lockdown like this before. Something is definitely wrong. Hey. What are you doing? Go in. Go in. Then can you take me with you? I’m really worried about them. Listen to your ancestors. Don’t let her down. Aunt Ao Everything has been taken care of. Good. Then let’s see the results. Ancestor of the Undead Stop fighting for now. Come help me first. Let me break the illusion first. Got it. How could that be? It seems you’ve called quite a few friends. Maybe the illusion is within reality. Try following their path. Ancestor of Corpses Still the same. Yeah. You’re very smart. Judging from the illusions you showed me, you know who I am, and you know my past. You know me well. Of course. Only the princess of the Yuling Tribe possesses that Baling Stone. Although I don’t know how you’ve survived until now, but that’s not important. Why did you change the address of the April Society to the old site of the Yuling Tribe? Is it related to Xiong Kulu? No, no, no. Actually, I just wanted the princess to be happy before she dies. I was always inside my brother’s body before. But you damaged my brother’s body. And now I want to borrow your body for a while. That way, your Balingshi will be mine too. Ouch. Looks like, Princess, you lost. Hmm. That’s not right. It looks like you’re the one who lost. I really like you, Princess. Go ahead, say it. What do you want? I can give you the Balingshi. But you have to help me with something. Please tell me, Princess. Help me practice the Nine Nether Profound Heaven Divine Art. After mastering it, with this technique, even if the Queen tries to capture you again, it will be nearly impossible. Hmm. Interesting. But I’m not done playing yet. Corpse Ancestor. If this goes on, this isn’t going to work. Hey, hey, hey! What’s going on? Corpse Ancestor. Something’s not right. The illusion is changing. I can feel it. As if being on a boat As if walking in the fog Dizzy and the room spins Standing up causes vertigo and collapse All of this seems to be symptoms of vertigo Is there a way to cure it? The Huayang Needle is useless. It seems this move doesn’t affect reality. Instead, it affects our minds. It makes us mistakenly think the world has turned upside down. Since that’s the case, Elder Corpse Ancestor, Ouch. You’ve straightened yourself out too. How do you feel? After my body returned to normal, the dizziness has indeed improved. But this technique forces a reversal. I can’t keep it up for long. Dizzy… I’ll give you one last chance. Help me with my training. Any condition is up to you. Princess, the only reason you’re here now is because I don’t want to look for you among the dead. That’s all. You don’t really think you’re that important, do you? So what if you’re Siyudan? So what if you possess the Baling Stone? Back when I slaughtered the Chute tribe, didn’t you just hide like a coward? I couldn’t find you before, but now you’ve come right to me. You and the people you brought with you are all now within my formation Life and death are decided by my whim Hand over the item or everyone here will be ruined and then they’ll be useless First, you changed the venue then there was Xiong Kulu and then resurrection from the dead I thought you were the one cultivating I am But I want to cultivate after taking your body No You’re definitely not that person anymore Oh Why is that? Because I’m about to kill you To be honest you picked quite a place This used to be the Feather Spirit Tribe’s altar And buried beneath your feet is the Sun God Drum of Yili Jin So what? So I’m starting to regret it Did I just give you too much respect? Your Highness, the Princess you are so beautiful Princess The time has come. The great Daman stands atop the sacred drum and draws forth the celestial bow. It will guide the souls of the bravest warriors along the heavenly path back to Jiugai. Along the heavenly path back to Jiugai. (Siyudan, Princess of the Feather Spirit Tribe) Along the heavenly path back to Jiugai. Along the heavenly path back to Jiugai. Father Rest in peace The princess truly possesses the radiance of all directions The departed spirit of Yiliqin will surely protect the princess and guide the people through this calamity and follow the path of destiny Return to Jiugai. Wudugan. Someone has come to see Yiliqin. People from the Rilian tribe. They’ve arrived. Let’s go. Princess Yes It’s our princess Our princess is here Princess Yes Princess Princess Yes Princess Princess Princess Yes Princess The princess is here Princess The princess is here Princess Princess Yes Elder sister Princess The king of the Rilian tribe, Huyu, was born a dwarf Since the princess has already agreed to the marriage alliance Be sure not to lose your manners Wudu, don’t worry Yes You are Xiao Wulie of the Li Tribe (Xiao Wulie, Li Tribe, General of a Hundred Victories)
Respectfully welcome, Your Majesty Princess, don’t be afraid (King Xiao Lie, Li Tribe)
Reinforcements have arrived Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Run Such a beauty Even that short guy from the Rilian tribe is worthy? Take off your clothes I’ll make them stop Okay =Episode 7=
=Kyugai= I hate it. Oh no. No need. Yiliqin Defeated outlaws of the Yuling Tribe have all been executed. What? He said to have your entire army regroup immediately and welcome me back to camp. Yes, sir. The whole army will regroup. Return to camp. (Abduct the princess, seize the Yuling Stone, eliminate all remaining members of the Yuling Tribe—by order of King Xiao Lie.) Stop the car. Princess Don’t refuse a toast only to be forced to drink as punishment. When a daughter of our clan is married, we customarily send her off with a ceremonial meal. Now that Father has passed away, among all of you here, Is anyone willing to do it on my behalf? I’ll go. I’ll go too. And me. Me too. The princess sent me. Keep making noise. Leave no one behind Can you do it? I can Hurry up. Stop dawdling. (Duke Xiao Lie of the Li Tribe is dead. People of the Yuling Tribe, escape quickly.)
Did you hear that? I told you to hurry up. (Duke Xiao Lie of the Li Tribe is dead. People of the Yuling Tribe, escape quickly.) What are you doing? What are you hiding? Take it out. Kneel down. General. She seems to be hiding something. Take out the stuff. Sister hasn’t had white rice in a long time. I just wanted to get some white rice. You’ve really disgraced our Yuling Division. If it happens again, I won’t let it slide. Get out of here. Alright. The future queen will also need attendants on the journey. Take this girl and bring her along. No. Such a young child might not be able to serve the princess well. Yes. Sir. Sir, please let her go. Sir. Kill her. Sir. I’m begging you. Sir, let me take her place. Sir. Sir. I’ll go. I’ll go. Mother still needs to take care of my little sister. Take her away. Let’s go. Mother This This is the song of Jiugai. Do you still remember the legend of Yin Mountain? There was a sage on Yin Mountain. Her power could open the gates of Jiugai. Jiugai Isn’t that the place in the legend where the former King of Mobei led his people to establish a blessed land? Does it really exist? Of course. Father once said that in Mobei, there truly exists such a place. It’s in the south. It’s a place where everyone can have enough to eat and wear. A place without war. It will also be our future home. One day, I will take our people there to live. Until we grow old and die with smiles on our faces. Smiling. Dying of old age. What is it? You’re not afraid anymore? I… I’m not afraid. Princess. The note. I left the note behind. It’s in the rice sack. Alright. That’s great! Princess Are we going to die? No one can escape death. Otherwise, you’d be immortal. But it won’t happen now. Yeah. I believe you. My sister and I have listened to your stories since we were little. We both wanted to be like you. Yeah. That’s about it. At this year’s big selection competition, the one running behind me was you, right? You. You remember me. Do you want to race again? Hyah! My lord! My lord! Go after them for me! Hyah! Hyah! General! Chase them. Take back the Baling Stone. They’re on horseback. In less than a moment, we’ll definitely catch up. If you win, I’ll give you the Yiliqin and the true Sun God Drum. Whoever reaches the mountaintop first will be the winner. Go! The king is dead. Take back the Baling Stone. Help me unite the Li tribe. Sadier. Tuoba. Yes. You two, take some men and go by the small path. Understood. The rest of you, spread out. Yes. What should we do? They’re about to catch up. Look ahead. Keep running. You can even outrun our own tribesmen. Why be afraid of them? But… If you keep this up, I won’t wait for you. Over there! It’s them! Chase them! Hurry, after them! Giddy up! Giddy up! Giddy up! Giddy up! They’re coming. Tuoba! Kill them! Can you skate? I can. Shaken off them? No. The Li tribe has always lived with ice and snow. They must have brought equipment for traveling on ice. They’re coming. Princess. You should go. Can you help me? Yes. From now on, just run. Don’t look back. Trust me. Go. Princess. Don’t get distracted. Just run. Don’t look back. Just run. Don’t look back. Well done. Princess. Give it a bit more effort. Stay close to me. I’ll help you. Over there. Chase. Go! Go. Giddy up. Giddy up. Giddy up. Help me out again. Put some strength into it. Okay. Giddy-up Chase Giddy-up Chase Giddy-up You’re awake. Run. We got out. Yeah. But… We can’t get down this mountain. They’ve already surrounded it. Where do we go now? Where else can we go? Forward. Let’s go. Princess. Princess. Poison. How did you get poisoned? How could you be poisoned? What should we do? I… I can’t stay here. Princess. Wake up. You can’t sleep. You can’t sleep. Princess. Your back… It’s nothing. The arrow was poisoned. If you carry me for so long, you’ll die. Go. Take my drum whip and go. Go! Go! I’m telling you to go. Don’t die. I don’t want you to die. What should I do? What should I do? I don’t want you to die. I’m scared. I’m scared. I’m not afraid. You haven’t let go of me. I won’t let go of you either. We will definitely escape together. Search the mountain. Yes. You are awake How do you feel? Thank you. You. You must detoxify yourself as soon as possible. After the wind and snow pass, once we cross the mountain ahead, we can escape. If they don’t catch me, they won’t give up. You can’t get out. The Yuling Tribe is targeted because of it. That’s why all the other tribes keep targeting us, right? You don’t need to know about this. Is it more important than your life? As long as we hand over the item, Shut up. I’m sorry. Let go of me. Let go of me. Where are you going? Why are you doing this? Let me go. Why are you doing this? Let go. Speak. I want to hand it over. Who ordered you? Who? No one. I want you to live. I want you to live. You’re not what they want at all. Only by handing it over can you survive. You… Why? Because… Because you are my princess. I promised to accompany you as your dowry. I won’t let you die. If you see me as your princess, then promise me one more thing. I promise. Okay From now on Listen to me Mm-hmm Starting now We’ll keep it safe together Then Things I don’t need to know Can I know them now? For a hundred years the secret arts of our Yuling Tribe have been unrivaled in the northern desert. We are the strongest among the eight tribes. But everyone harbors their own schemes. The other seven tribes secretly conspired for their own interests. They intended to strike against our tribe. My father knew that if war broke out we would suffer great losses. So, as the Yiliqin he went to Yin Mountain to ask the sage Duokuo Huo for guidance. The sage bestowed upon him a Baling Stone. Relying on the power within the stone, my father maintained peace in the northern desert for another thirty years. But in the end, he still fell victim to the seven tribes’ treachery. His soul returned to the Nine Realms. In any case, the situation is beyond saving. Let’s keep moving forward. So, you really agreed to marry that little guy from the Nichiren group? Does it really matter who I marry? I’m a princess. Do I even have a choice? But he’s also one of the Seven Tribes. He helped kill Yili Jin. He was involved too. Yeah. As long as the Yuling Tribe can survive, I’ll do whatever it takes. Yili Jin. Why didn’t he let the Sage open the Gate of Jiugai? Because Aye never intended to go there. He wanted to fight. And die in battle. Now, he got what he wanted. But we definitely won’t be like him. There seem to be footprints over there. It looks like they’re catching up. Let’s go. Head up the mountain. Over there! It’s them! The general was right after all. They’re still in the mountains, just as expected. Go! After them! Over there! Kill them! Move! That way! Kill! Go! Princess Are you alright? I’m fine. You go ahead. Scout the way for me. Okay. Princess Princess Princess Princess There seem to be footprints over there. Are you okay? Hurry One of our men is injured. Send a signal. Quick, send a signal! Princess I’ll carry you. Look. The scenery here is pretty nice. I’m not leaving. During this time, it’s been enough for the Yuling Tribe to leave. No. I said before, we would… The poison in me is already too deep. I can’t make it out. But you can. Take my drum whip. Go. If you don’t go, then I have no path left. Have you forgotten what you promised me? And what about what you promised me? You said you’d take us to Jiugai. We’d grow old together, laughing. You promised. You really want to leave me speechless, don’t you? Let’s go. I’m not leaving, I’m not leaving. Let’s leave together. Go. Oh, right. The Sage. Go find the Sage. The Sage will definitely be able to heal you. We’ll go together. Actually, I lied to you. I don’t know where Jiugai is. Do me a favor. Help me find it. No. Promise me. This is a promise. People of the Yuling clan must never break their word. Didn’t you say you’ve listened to my stories since you were little? Now, you are me. Go. My song will guide your way. Take it with you. Go. Let’s go. I’ll do as you say. I will definitely keep our promise. I definitely will. Warrior who tamed the mighty Kuru, if your heroic spirit still lingers in Jita, please, upon the swine of the Li tribe, bring down divine punishment. Please, bring down divine punishment. Please bring down divine punishment. ♪The wind rises and falls♪ ♪The years have left no trace♪ ♪To love and be loved♪ ♪has soothed each other’s hearts♪ Brave one who tamed Xiongkulu… if your spirit still lingers in Gita, please bring divine punishment. Please, bring down divine punishment. That’s… The sound of drums. Prin… Princess… Princess… Your Highness… Ancestor Hou Qing,
still got some strength left? Not really. Then try harder. =Episode 8=
=The Baling Stone= Don’t look back. Just keep running. Where’s the end? Don’t look back. Keep running. Where’s the end? Keep running. Where’s the end? Don’t look back. Keep running. I know where it ends. Ninefold Horizons. That’s the end. Si Yudan. Remove the Baling Stone. I’ll open the gate to Ninefold Horizons for you. So you couldn’t take them. The Baling Stones aren’t
your Holy Relics. They’re… They are the stones of misfortune
that sealed me away. That’s right. But almost no one knows about it. Who did this? Many people. When I was young, my tribe said I was born able to sense
the energy flows, which was a good omen. People from the Central Plains taught me how to absorb the energy flows
and make them mine, so my internal energy
would never run dry. But later, many things happened. In the end, I was trapped here. But there’s no cage here. This needle drains my internal energy continuously. But I absorb the energy
of heaven and earth faster than it drains me. So they brought in eight Baling Stones. Though called stones, they are actually the remains of eight great sages
from the Northlands. They made the energy loss spiral out of control. If I hadn’t stumbled into Yin Mountain, where wind
and energy converge, they would’ve taken me long ago. So your own energy became your prison? Smart child. Different lands hold very different amounts of energy. But this place is special. My drained energy isn’t lost to the world. It gathers here. And I can draw it back. That’s how I survived. But I’m also forever trapped here. With your power, this place can’t hold you. But if the needle is pulled, and I leave this place
of converging energy, I’ll meet my end for sure. Unless those stones can be removed. But back then, someone used an ancient secret technique to seal them in place. Unless someone who knows
the same technique acts, they cannot be moved, not even a little. Not even by me. Back then, was the Baling Stone removed by Yilijin himself? Yes. This technique wasn’t something
the eight tribes could master. Only the Heavens bestow it. All these years, he’s the only one I’ve seen
who possessed it. But no matter what I promised, I couldn’t make him stay. So what do you want from me? The Yuling Tribe has vanished, and Yilijin is gone too. I remember the way he removed
the Baling Stone back then. But his energy was unique. I couldn’t see through it. But there’s one thing. Any Baling Stone affected by him would turn icy in appearance. Once it turns transparent, it can be removed. This method is the one I devised based on all the clues I had. It couldn’t remove the Baling Stone, but it gave me hope. Got it. I’ll figure out a way
to remove the stones. Set you free. Then I’ll open the gate
to Ninefold Horizons for you. Before that, make me believe you. I’ll tell you
where the Ninefold Horizons is. Go see that gate for yourself. Ancestor Hou Qing, their target is Ancestor Jiangchen. Looks like they’re still
not done over there. But there are too many of them. We can’t stop them at all. Don’t worry, Princess. My tree maidens… My tree maidens are almost here. Once they arrive, I’ll use all the tree maidens gathered
over the years to make you submit to me forever. Submit? Coming! It hurts! Princess, why don’t you understand me? Understand? Come here. See if I understood you right. You brought so many people. How am I supposed to understand you now? It’s fine. The time has finally come for the princess to submit to me. Right. And the Baling Stone… With that in hand, I’ll turn the Queen
into a tree maiden too. Complicated. That way I’ll become the god of the Northlands. And I’ll make all of you, every single one of you, submit to me forever. – What was that?
– What was that sound? – What is that?
– Zip it! What the heck is that? Be on guard. Finally, you’re here. Ancestor Ying Gou. Ancestor Hou Qing,
you and Ancestor Ying Gou cover me. Actually, maybe cover my sister instead. That’s the plan. Ancestor Ying Gou. I’ll leave Ancestor Jiangchen to you. Hurry up. I’m really tired. Run a little. Okay. What the heck? Why did it go quiet? I thought the Sage was
coming down the mountain. Your Highness, I’m coming. After all these years, I spent sleepless nights just waiting for this moment. Can’t sleep, huh? Let me help you. I wanted to keep you whole. But it seems that’s not possible. Don’t worry, Your Highness. I’ll piece you back together. Hiding now? How old are you? Still acting shy? Don’t rush. Princess. Once I get the Baling Stone, we’ll have a nice long talk. Baling Stone. Baling Stone! Forgot about me? Princess. You’re getting a bit annoying. Come on… Already sick of me that fast? Baling Stone… Did no one ever teach you that unfaithful men are the most hated? Looks like you’ll have to meet your end now. Where are you going? Actually… Actually we were so close to being together. Why? Why? Why must you stop me? Princess. This time, how will you stop me? Disappear forever! You… How dare you slap her face! Who are you? Let’s go. He… Isn’t he that guy? Let me breathe… Give me a second. If he could be smashed, he’s not the real one. It’s fine. I’ve already helped you. Oh, wow… Still alive, huh? Get lost. If you stay, you’ll be… Ancestor Hou Qing. We’ve got a situation. He is gotten stronger. He’s using the bicolor irises all around to absorb all the tree maidens’
internal energy. At this rate, this is really something. You old woman… Why didn’t you say so earlier? He’s just putting up
a desperate struggle. He won’t last long. He’s about to explode. Have I been away for too long? So many powerful warriors
have emerged in this world. I have changed my mind. I’ll meet my end with the Princess and all of you. It took my brother and me
years of studying secret techniques to achieve this level. How could it be… How could it be… that some little girl could… Is it all absorbed? Hurry it up! I’ve waited long enough! There’s not much time left. Still not enough. Still not enough! The Baling Stone… Right! With the Baling Stone, I’ll be fine! I just need the Baling Stone! Once I get it, you’ll all be buried with me. Hou Qing… Mine. Mine. The Baling Stone is mine! No one can take it from me! Mine! It’s mine! What’s going on? Don’t even think about stealing what’s mine! What’s wrong with this stone? This isn’t a stone. It’s a human bone. Ancestor Ying Gou. He’s mine. You stole my man. So you should take his place. Can’t you talk her down? I don’t want to lose my life! Oh… Ancestor. You really went all out! Fine. You were ruthless. Don’t blame me for being heartless. I… am… your… sister… Ah… What happened? Hey… Are you still alive? Yes, I am. Why isn’t she fighting anymore? She’s letting you win. The April Meet is over. Clean up now. Ancestor Jiangchen. What’s the deal with that stone’s power? The stone itself has no power. It just amplifies your potential to the fullest extent. That Bali Shenyu… He absorbed all
the tree maidens’ energy, he was already about to explode. Even if you hadn’t finished him, the stone would’ve
made him self-destruct. As for what happened to you, maybe you still haven’t balanced that new heart of yours. There are seven more stones like this? Emm. You want it? Keep this safe. Let’s go. Before we go, do me one more favor. They were all pitiful. Help them return their souls to Ninefold Horizons. The degenerate commander… It was him… Mother. You must still have a way
to turn this around, right? Ready the horses. Head to Yin Mountain. Don’t be foolish. Duo Kuohuo won’t help you. Even if Bali Shenyu were still alive, you wouldn’t get the Baling Stone. Mother, you don’t know yet, do you? Duo Kuohuo couldn’t take
the Baling Stone at all. She’s just using you as a pawn. Just like you used me. But now, I can take it. You need me. Ancestor Jiangchen. I’m really curious about your past. No. You’re not curious. I never even asked why you came back to the Northlands. Obviously for the food court. The food court is why I came back. Because what I’m looking for is there. (Antique Stew) (Jiuyou Xuantian Divine Art) After it’s done Leave the Northern Desert If you want to live do as I told you Understood (Jiuyou Xuantian Divine Art) =Episode 9=
=Endless= Step back. (On the day of the April Gathering)
Move back. By order of the Queen. To ensure the April Gathering can proceed smoothly. What is it? Go ahead and practice. It’s done. The Baling Stone is yours. (Nine Nether Mystic Heaven Technique) There are two people inside your body. How can I trust you? Little girl, if you want to get the Baling Stone, I’m your only chance. Why not listen to a story? After that, fortune you will believe. Miss Miss Mm-hmm She fell asleep We’re here (Ying Gou) We really arrived Would I lie to you?

– Over there! Miss! What’s your surname? My surname is Liu. What? Your surname is Niu? Liu! This thing is really great. When I get back, I’ll definitely get one for my brother too. Let’s go. I’m coming! Did you just say your surname is Liu? Liu! Is it the “stay” Liu? It’s the “willow” Liu, sister. Miss Liu. Catch! Here it comes! You look pretty quiet. But you even dare to fight in the chaos. And you’re so skilled. Not as skilled as you. That general’s head— Who knows where you knocked it to. What kind of moves are those? Wind Fire Wheels! One, two, three, four Dodge Dodge Miss Liu Stop dodging Let’s go Giddy up They’re over there Kill them Giddy up This dish is as rare as something from the heavens It’s a rare treat on earth Cheers Cheers Miss Liu Your martial arts are really impressive and unusual This is the first time I’ve met someone I can’t see through May I ask who your master is? I don’t have a master I created all my martial arts myself You created them yourself? I’ve loved reading martial arts novels since I was little All the techniques are written in them I just made up my own moves and practiced Like Dragon Subduing Palm Golden Bell Shield Silver Cloth Shirt That’s how I mastered my skills After I finished training I scared my ex-husband away You Are you also creating your own martial arts? Could it be that you… Let me ask you something. You have to answer honestly. Okay. Why did you come to Bianzhou? What are you here for? To learn martial arts. I want to learn some techniques. Even though my martial arts skills are already quite impressive, it’s not good to just fight randomly. No one from north to south dares to teach me. I heard that here there’s some kind of strange sect that’s recruiting new members. They don’t have many rules. So I came to check it out. You… Are you looking for the Xuanming Sect? Could it be that you… What about you? Why are you going to the Xuanming Sect? To do something very important. My story is quite long. Do you want to hear it? What you said, is all true? Yes. It’s just that many parts I can’t remember myself. After taking the sacred medicine given by the Sage, I think I took the cultivation manual and returned to the Yuling Tribe. But there was no one left there. Then I stayed in the south for decades. There was also a period when I tried to find ways to open the gate of Jiugai. But I failed every time. Eventually, I came to the Central Plains. Oh, right. At one point, because my body was decaying, I researched ways to coexist with a new body. That wasted quite a bit of time too. The sacred medicine recipe from the Sage wasn’t very reliable either. Aren’t you lonely? Why are you telling me everything about yourself? Because I think you’ll believe me. All these years, I’ve told some people this story before. But no one has ever believed me. I need someone who believes me. Even if she is just a stranger I met by chance. As long as in this world there is at least one person alive who knows my story, I have the strength to keep going. Isn’t your princess enough to give you the strength to go on? I thought she was. But you don’t know how terrifying endless time is. It’s truly frightening. That sounds pretty interesting. Give me your technique. Buddy. So that means you’ve agreed to help me. Yeah. Then I’ll help you all the way. Once I finish what I need to do, there might be a lot of mess left behind. You’ll help me clean it up, okay? Okay. It’s a deal. By the way, about my experiences, no one would believe them anyway. There’s no need to tell anyone else. Alright. But I’m also really curious to see what you’ve spent so much time on, combining the secret arts of the Yuling Tribe that still remain, with all kinds of internal skills from the Central Plains, and what you’ve created. I wonder what it’s really like. But this technique is currently written in the language of the Northern Desert. When we get to the Xuanming Sect, that Nether Emperor should have the ability to help me finish the Central Plains translation. At that time, it’ll be up to you. Buddy. I’ll help you. Oh, right, I also need to introduce you to someone. A very important person. Here they come. (Young Hou Qing) Little brother Little brother I missed you so much Come here Let me introduce you This is my younger brother Brother Hurry, call her Sister Jiangchen Oh no Little brother is hurt Who did this? Tell your sister I’ll get revenge for you There’s no enemy He jumped off a cliff and got hurt himself Ah This kid has followed me since he was little He’s got a really strange personality After he saw me learn martial arts from storybooks He insisted on being just like me Until that day He saw In the storybook, someone survived falling off a cliff But you know what He actually did learn martial arts from it If you don’t believe me Look. Wow. This technique is the Crying Blood Manual. Junior. There are still two spots left among the Four Great Corpse Ancestors. I pulled some strings to save one for you. You should stay here and recover first. Right. Once you’re healed, practice with me. I see you have extraordinary bones. Let me teach you a peerless technique. Forget it, forget it. I’ll practice your technique instead. He’s still young. He’s still growing. That’s why he needs more training. He hasn’t recovered from his injuries yet. Then let’s wait until he’s healed. Even after he’s healed, it’s not okay. It’s fine, it’s fine. No, it’s not. – That’s impossible.
– It’s possible, it’s possible. Surrendered Minister Corpse Ancestor. The Nether Emperor invites you. Xuanming Sect We respectfully welcome the Four Great Corpse Ancestors. (Jiuyou Xuantian Divine Art, Lower Volume) Why is there only the lower volume? Where’s the upper volume? There aren’t actually upper and lower volumes. It’s always the complete version. I can’t hold anything back from them. But the lower volume is the latest iteration. The very, very, very latest version. (Jiuyou Xuantian Divine Art, Lower Volume) This martial art How many versions are there, anyway? Probably over sixty versions by now. Don’t worry. This version is definitely reliable. I’ve finished reading it. This technique is filled with extreme yin energy. It’s really powerful. If anything goes wrong while I’m cultivating, you have to protect me. I’ll do my best. I promise. It’s working. Wait, something’s wrong. Help me! It’s still not working! Help me! Help me! Help me! Help me! So that’s why you’ve become like this. And even split into two people. If you practiced it, maybe you’d look even more terrifying. This technique is finally complete now. Yes. The Corpse Ancestor, Wuchang. The Nether Emperor, Ghost King. So many people. Of course. I should thank you too. I… It seems it still doesn’t work. This is getting interesting. Why? (Jiuyou Xuantian Divine Art) Why is it just missing this one thing? The depth of the Nine Netherworlds. (Purely fictional, not a real incantation) As deep as the land of Naraka. So it passes through Yongquan nine times. Connecting to the earth and merging with yin. The height of the Mysterious Heavens. As high as the sky of the Nine Fields. Thus, it passes through Baihui nine times. Connecting to the heavens and merging with yang. But why the endless Nine Netherworlds, infinite and boundless, existing in this very space, with emptiness and silence in its depths, where time stops without a trace, the Mysterious Heavens and Nine Fields, nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine corners, five hundred million miles from the earth, Nine Heavens and Nine Earths, but nine is not really nine, but rather means the ultimate limit. It’s done. Searching the heavens and earth, yet never finding release. Traveling five hundred million miles across the land. Seeking death, but unable to attain it. Seeking death, but unable to attain it. Seeking death, but unable to attain it. I understand. Though this technique is mastered, the person is not. After that, she heard that a warrior from the April Society could remove the Baling Stone. She thought Duokuo Huo couldn’t wait for her and had found a new helper. So she decided to return to the northern desert to investigate. And to find another expert to practice and retrieve the stone. This led to the appearance of that April Society villain. After all the twists and turns, it was still you in the end. If that’s the case, why don’t you practice it? After mastering this technique, it will cleanse all your meridians. But it will also leave residual energy within. So no matter how the technique is altered, practicing it a second time is useless. Otherwise, you, a young girl, would never have had this chance. But she said at the time that I wasn’t skilled enough either. At first, I also thought those people were in that state because their abilities were too weak. That’s why they became paralyzed. It wasn’t until Jiang Chen showed me the complete version of this technique that I realized those people were actually trapped. No matter who interprets or translates this technique, its foundation is ultimately your Zhunman method. That’s why there is this half soul-capturing, half yin-absorbing effect, formless and without peer, and the concept of soul separation. You know that, right? If you decide to practice this technique, once you get trapped, you will never wake up again. Are you Yinggou or Sister? I’m Sister. Old woman. Aogu. Aogu wants to practice the Nine Nether Profound Heaven Divine Art. To seize the Baling Stone. What do you mean? She has already gone to Yin Mountain to train. Ignore her. So you were looking for someone to train because— Because— To seize the Baling Stone. You’re right. I need to go take a look. She has nothing to do with Xiong Kulu. That person can’t be her. But as for her and Yinggou— I heard everything. Maybe— She really is the one— who can seize the stone. Reporting to the Queen, she did go to Yin Mountain. Pass on my order. The things we prepared earlier— can be used now. Your Majesty, please reconsider. If you do this, there will be no turning back. While I am still Queen, if not now, then when? (The stage is set. Please attend. On the day of departure, join the banquet.) The Nine Netherworlds have the Mysterious Heaven. (For story purposes only, not related to any real incantation)
Heaven above, Nine Netherworlds below. Unspoken, yet united. The clarity of life and death. Half capturing the yin, half capturing the soul. Without form, without peer. Black and white shall never merge. The sea of qi hangs over the spirit hall. Aogu. Aogu. You are not the one who can remove the Baling Stone. So why are you so obsessed with this? No. It’s me. It’s me. Really? This medicine— Did you want Father to drink it? No. It wasn’t me. It wasn’t me. Yes. You are no longer the number one in the Northern Desert. No, no, no, no, no! It’s me. Alright. Father will listen to you. This mask— It’s time for someone else to wear it. I can. I can. Why don’t you believe me? Why don’t you believe me? Why? Why don’t you believe me? Why? Why don’t you believe me? You failed. As you wish. You failed. – As you wish.
– You failed. – Mother.
– You are not the one. – Wipe away your tears.
– Mother. Let others see. Why do you insist on this? Those who wish to master this technique must harbor hatred in their hearts. Be decisive in killing. Nourish the body with murderous intent. Channel energy with hatred. This is one of the necessary conditions. But as I see it, that Chief of the Unrighteous Yes. So this is only the first stage. In my opinion, he is only using this extremely yin technique to suppress that extremely yang heart. There is no need to enter the next stage. Then this next stage is what you called “Soul Separation,” right? You should know that this Soul Separation is a lost secret technique from the Northern Desert. It can make a person die while still alive. Just as you said earlier, the heart, the mind, heart, mind, and intent, heart, mind, intent, and will— if any of these four collapse, a person will be trapped by their own body. But that spiritual world is very different from the world we live in. There are great differences. The suffering within is far beyond the impermanence of the mortal world. Many people persevere through countless hardships, surviving through thorns and brambles, but compared to this, it is nothing. But even at this point, there may still be those with great power who can emerge from this sea of hardship and change. To us in the real world, it feels like it happens in an instant. But the trials within last not just thousands or tens of thousands of years, but for eternity. If the one cultivating doesn’t awaken at that very moment, they will never wake up again. No matter how hard they try, there’s no way out. Those before were all trapped in that endless realm spanning five hundred million miles, unable to escape. So this is what it means to travel five hundred million miles underground, unable to live, unable to die. But recently, I learned of a way that might help you endure this soul-crushing ordeal. Save me. Save me. We owe each other nothing. Let us both be well. This is the method Yinggou mentioned. This secret technique was once a forbidden art of the Yuling tribe. Those affected by this technique will offer up their ability to feel pain as a sacrifice to Xiongkulu. If Yinggou gives her this secret art, allowing her to block out this pain, perhaps she really can make it out. This medicine – has failed.
– Did you want Father to drink it? Then he wouldn’t be the best in the North Desert anymore. You are not the one – who can take down the Baling Stone.
– The April Gathering should have been held long ago. – To determine the true number one in the North Desert.
– Why are you so obsessed with this? Yes. – I think the queen should step down too.
– The best in the North Desert, – is it really that important?
– Yes. – And do you think
– Isn’t it? – someone you can cut open
– Aunt Ao, – is the person I’m looking for?
– Aunt Ao. Someone who can bring prosperity to the North Desert has finally appeared. Your mask has long been broken. This mask should be worn by someone else now. You are no longer that person. The best in the North Desert will only be me. Go back. That person practicing martial arts is under my protection. I So there’s no room for discussion. No room for discussion. I’ve always been able to do it. We made a promise. From now on, you will be my number one in the North Desert. The promise with Mother I will always remember in my heart. – The April Society will fail this time.
– The Unruly Marshal has appeared in the northern desert. That scoundrel has come into our northern desert. The battle in the Central Plains Aogu cannot defeat the Unruly Marshal. Rather than calling it a disaster for the northern desert, the northern desert now has no worries about attacking the Central Plains. Queen The Chief of the Outlaws has appeared in the Northern Desert. The April meeting will be interrupted. Rumors are already spreading in the court. We have received news that the Chief of the Outlaws is heading to Yin Mountain. At such a time, if we send a large force to surround him, we can surely eliminate future threats once and for all. There is also the faction of the King of Dongdan who are also taking this opportunity to stir up trouble. Perhaps this is related to the appearance of the Chief of the Outlaws this time. The fate of the nation is at stake. For the sake of the Northern Desert, we pledge our utmost loyalty and effort. We hope the Queen will make a prompt decision. We hope the Queen will make a prompt decision. Marshal Yelü has returned to camp. Reporting to Mother Queen, I have been campaigning for many months. The rebellion in the northwest has been suppressed. Today I have returned to camp. I have come to receive your orders. Marshal Yelü. Present. The recent events in the camp should have been reported to you. They have. Take my token and these men with you and go capture the Chief of the Outlaws. Yes. That’s great! With Marshal Yelü, there will surely be no mistakes. The Northern Desert is finally saved. The Chief of the Outlaws won’t escape this time. All troops, listen to orders. Capture the Unrighteous Commander. Heaven blesses the Northern Desert. Heaven blesses the Northern Desert. Heaven blesses the Northern Desert. =Episode 10=
=Desperate Situation= Why are you slacking off? Have you fed the sheep? I have. Are all the vegetables ready? They’re ready. Then, have you swept the yard? I have. Brother, You’re being unusually well-behaved today. And also, why didn’t you go join the fun at Yin Mountain? I stayed behind today because I wanted to take another look at this shop. This shop I’ve claimed this spot. What are you yelling about? Yeah. Do you even know what “first come, first served” means? You could say this shop has become lively thanks to us. Even though the ingredients aren’t very fresh, our soup base is great. It’s a pity, (Today’s income)
the numbers don’t look good. (Zhongyuan Gudong Soup, clean and hygienic)
Our dish pricing still has a lot of room to improve. If things could keep going like this, and I could break even, that would be even better. By the way, brother, do you have any secret savings? Yeah. You admit it that easily? Back when Jiang Chen was paying the April club registration fee, why didn’t you take it out then? What’s going on? What’s going on? What’s going on? If I took it out, it wouldn’t be secret savings anymore. Makes sense. This is my stash of money. Let’s make a bet. What are we betting on? Grab a cup. Let’s bet on this. Whether Aunt Ao can get that lousy stone. If she can, my money goes straight into the account. If she can’t, (your money goes into the account.) How about it? Not betting. Sir, let me bandage you up. My head’s been split open. How can you even bandage that? Speaking of them, what will actually happen to them? I really want to go see. Oh no. I’m so anxious. Bro, hurry up and get to work, stop bandaging. Ancestor of the Undead That’s enough from you. I said it already. I’m protecting that person. Didn’t you say she couldn’t take the stone? Then why are you stopping me? Can’t I make a mistake? The thing you’re looking for— Do you really need that Baling Stone to get it? Yes. Then let me get it for you. I also know the Nine Nether Mystic Arts. What you know is the previous version. You can’t take it. I don’t want to hurt my thirteenth great-grandmother. Don’t push me. I said it. I’m protecting her. Which group are they from? Without my orders, why did they act on their own? Marshal. They seem to be the Queen’s people. Mother. You two. Take the shortcut. Catch up and get some answers for me. Yes. Hyah! (Mother) (What exactly are your intentions?) Hyah! Hey. Looks like I was overthinking it. With this kind of strength, there’s no need for me to protect you at all. I’ll go after them first. You should go home early and cook. What’s going on? What happened? Everyone, stay calm. (Antique Soup) Take care, everyone. Please come again. Goodbye. I’m so tired. Hurry. Quick, quick. (Closed) Hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry! If we’re late, we’ll miss it. Tell me, between Jiang Chen and Li Xingyun, who do you think would win in a fight? I don’t know. Then how about this— Let’s bet on it. No bet. Fine, forget it. Ying Gou. Ying Gou. Something happened! Brother! I’m not going to see them fight now. Report. Marshal. They are indeed the Queen’s people. They planted explosives on Yin Mountain long ago. They’re blowing up the mountain. This mission is to suppress the northwest rebellion. No matter what happens at court, you must not return. Mother has her own plans. The Queen actually wants to destroy Yin Mountain. Shut up. That’s a sacred mountain! Agula. Here. Take your men and quickly seal off all the entrances. No one is allowed inside. Anyone who disobeys will be executed. Yes. Surrendered official, Shizu. Could this be Duokuo Huo again? She shouldn’t have that kind of power. Shizu. Stop messing around. The power of the Balingshi is too great. We can’t let her take it. Shizu. I just want the Balingshi to be removed. As for who ends up with the stone, I don’t care. Ancestor of the Undead We should have done this a long time ago. From now on, we need to be united and friendly. Help each other. No more fighting. Stop pretending. She’s already run far away. Li Xingyun You fight for your people. I fight for what’s in my heart. After we get the stone, if you have the ability, then take it back. Let’s go. You two have you discussed it? We’ve discussed it. Let’s begin. Brother Run slower. Don’t drop me. You really wore me out. Don’t waste your energy. Even if you find Aunt Ao, you still won’t make it in time to see who wins or loses. I wasn’t planning to find her. I just wanted to see how far I could keep running. How far I could go. By the way, the dishes left after dinner yesterday still haven’t been washed, right? They’re washed. What about the hole in the roof? It still needs to be patched. It’s patched. Then, what about the weeds in the backyard? I weeded them. Hey, little brother, the money you bet with me you’re definitely going to lose it to me. No way. Then what about my principal? You have to make it up for me. Earn it yourself. What should I do? I feel like we’re going to miss their fight. Their fight isn’t that interesting anyway. By the way, I’ve thought of a name for the shop. The name you came up with must sound terrible. Come closer. I’ll tell you. (No credit allowed) Reporting to the King of Dongdan The Queen has taken action Yin Mountain has been destroyed Pass on my order Enter the palace (King of Dongdan) Report Marshal All entrances have been completely sealed Gentlemen That Chief is still in the mountains We want him alive Or dead, we want his body As for the mountain explosion I will definitely investigate the cause and punish those responsible severely All troops, listen to my command Yes Enter the mountain Hyah Hyah Si Yudan A hundred years have passed in a flash In the blink of an eye The one we’ve been waiting for turns out to be her Come End all of this End all of this Xue’er (Fengxiang) =Episode 11: All or Nothing= (A small town on the Central Plains border) The April Gathering is approaching. I wonder how everyone’s preparations are going. Move aside, quickly! Out of the way! Let us through! Is there still any need to keep things hidden? News of the April Gathering has already spread everywhere. Everything is arranged. The sacred relic of Yin Mountain is something everyone will fight for. That stone on Yin Mountain— is it really that powerful? No exaggeration. With it, the martial world of the Central Plains could basically do as it pleases. I heard even our emperor has his eyes on it. Out of the way! Let us through! Now, there are indeed many people and horses at the border. Heading toward the northern desert. All of them are in disguise. It’s also possible they’re Bad People. Don’t be too sensitive. We should get going too. Head to Yin Mountain. It’s strange, though. That woman from the northern desert and you— which one of you is really the one from the prophecy? If you can’t get this Baling Stone, there’s only one way. (The final version of Nine Nether Mystic Heaven Technique)
can take it. Why should I believe you? Once mastered you can obtain the stone. Once mastered you can obtain the stone. (Nine Nether Profound Heaven Divine Art, final version) I’m very curious about what traps you here. No words are spoken No words can save There are five endless sufferings Endless consequences Endless suffering Endless time Endless fate Endless form (Nine Nether Profound Heaven Divine Art, final version) Supreme Heaven There are nine realms stretching five hundred million miles from the earth. Here, all things interact and respond to their true nature. The emotions in your heart manifest as all things. Hatred gives rise to wind, desire draws water, anger becomes thunder, confusion creates mist. Those without feeling or awareness are forever trapped here. Five hundred million miles from the earth, forever trapped here. Stepping out from the Xuantian Nine Wilds From the outside, it seems to take only an instant But in that person’s heart, it feels like ages have passed so long that the world has changed beyond recognition long enough for a person to be stripped of all flesh and blood What keeps one going might be only the instinct to survive and the endless hatred in their heart But how many people can truly endure it once twice three times or countless failures Rather than saying this technique cannot truly be mastered by anyone it would be better to say that only inhuman monsters can bring an end to all this Xue’er has succeeded has succeeded Xue’er the Ancestor of Corpses Let’s go You finally came out Yes I finally came out Siyu Dan All the Balin Stones The day they are removed You too will eventually lose everything Jiugai How do you open Jiugai? Come here I’ll tell you the way to open Jiugai the method From here on it’s up to you Your Majesty The Yinshan Cave has already collapsed Hmm Return to the palace Xue’er Xue’er Xue’er Xue’er Xue’er Qi King’s Sword Why Give it back to me. Keep it safe. When my hair grows longer, put it on me. Xue’er I must wear it. Why? Let me go. Buliang Shuai is just ahead. Priority to whoever kills him first. They’ll be granted the rank of Qianhu. And rewarded with ten thousand gold. Charge! Over there! Buliang Shuai is over there! Report! Marshal! Buliang Shuai spotted ahead. All forces, surround him. Leave no survivors. Balingshi is mine. Give it to me. Get out of the way! Mine Mine Give it to me Give it to me (It’s about time.) Report to the Marshal. Quick, report to the Marshal. Report. Bring them to me alive. If dead, bring me the body. Search for them. Yes. Guards! Guards! Marshal. Still haven’t found the Chief’s body? Reporting to the Marshal. Not yet. Search. Keep searching. Yes. Report. Marshal. The capital. Inside the capital. There are outlaws causing trouble everywhere. No need to panic. General Yaolian is already on guard in the city. You may go. Yes. Move aside. Move aside. Report. Your Majesty the Queen. There’s another large group of outlaws. They are besieging the people and causing chaos in the city. General Yaolian – Move! Get out of the way!
– I can’t get away right now. Requesting backup. Go down. Someone will go to support them. Yes. In this capital city, when did so many outlaws appear? Outlaws are scattered all over the world. Anywhere, anyone, could be an outlaw. What the Queen has thought of, and what she hasn’t, all of it. It’s not just outlaws, right? Now, many people from the northern desert are wearing outlaw clothing. They’re causing trouble in the city. The Queen has sharp eyes. You all may leave. Your Majesty. – Leave.
– Your Majesty. Yes. Chief of the Outlaws Come up and have a talk. Sit. How did you escape? It’s embarrassing to say. This is already my second time. Commander. There’s an ambush. – I almost died here on Yin Mountain.
– Retreat! So, in that case, the Commander has actually benefited from this misfortune. Thank you, Your Majesty, for your comforting words. Yinshan is truly formidable. If I were you, I certainly wouldn’t keep it either. I’m sure Your Majesty knew I would come. And you must also know what will happen next. You scoundrel! Don’t you dare harm my mother! Mother, please forgive your son for arriving late to your rescue. The traitors inside and outside the city have all been executed. (King of Eastern Dan, Yelü Bei) Thanks to the eldest prince for arriving in time and repelling the invaders. Mother, you praise me too much. If I can’t even protect my own people under my command, how could I possibly bear the responsibility of being the King of Mobei in the future? Traitor, what are you laughing at? Stop pretending. Your mother saw through it long ago. The troublemakers in the city were your own people in disguise. You— What nonsense are you talking about? Mother, don’t listen to this traitor’s nonsense. We’ve been secretly communicating for so long, do you think you could hide it from your mother’s eyes? This act of arresting your own people can’t go on any longer. Commander, are you trying to say how could I reveal everything in front of your mother? Why didn’t you follow the plan? Because the situation changed. Things are different now than they were before. Since that’s the case, there’s nothing I can’t admit. Mother, since you took over the government, you’ve worked tirelessly day and night, often staying up late without rest. Lately, you’ve been even more worried and anxious about the April Assembly. Yet the officials and the people still don’t understand you. Now, the whereabouts of the Baling Stone are unknown, and the Sacred Mountain was destroyed by you, Mother. There must be public outrage everywhere. I’m thinking of you, Mother. It’s also time for me to take responsibility for all of this. Prince of Dongdan, are you rebelling? Now, everyone inside and outside the hall is on my side, and the Grand Marshal is here as well. What can you do to me? Grand Marshal. Commander Mother, why are you laughing? According to Father’s last decree, this throne should be mine. You were the one who used any means necessary, twisting right and wrong, and scheming to seize power. If I hadn’t used some tactics myself, how could I have taken back what rightfully belonged to me? Silly child. Do you really think he contacted you in secret because he wanted to help you become the King of Mobei? He just wanted you to reveal your true colors in front of me. But— Why? Why? Why? His intentions are so obvious, can’t you really see it? With just him and his outlaws, he thinks he can decide who becomes the King of Mobei? Is that possible? Of course not. But if he smiles and tells you now, King of Dongdan, our plan has been exposed, you can’t stay in Mobei anymore. Where else can you go? Would you dare not go with him? When that time comes, you two brothers— who is the rightful heir will depend on how they spin the story. As long as the green hills remain, there will always be firewood to burn. Come back to the Central Plains with me first. We will make long-term plans. Commander Kill her now Or take her away We still have a chance Forget it I don’t have the guts to go to war with Mobei Enough You can’t take that position anymore Either come with me Or die here Why How am I inferior to my second brother Yaoguang can see himself more clearly than you Kill her Guards Kill her Kill her Kill her I want you to kill her Come on Guards Guards King of Dongdan Kill her If you don’t make a decision now kill her When your brother returns no one will be able to protect you Why Why Why Take him away Yes Commander If you don’t come he definitely won’t survive. Congratulations, Chief of the Constables. Congratulations to you as well. Your Majesty the Queen. It wasn’t until today that I realized the outcome of the April meeting didn’t actually matter that much to you. Whether it succeeded or not, you could still accomplish your plan. A masterful move. Your Majesty the Queen. Likewise. For so many years, there has been constant conflict between the Central Plains and the Northern Desert. But now it seems all the sacrifices you made, Your Majesty, were just to pave the way for your own son. Was it worth it? Whether it was worth it or not, who can really say? Aren’t you also bearing the infamy of a thousand generations? Brother Liu Yi once told us that there’s a legendary place in the Northern Desert where there is no war, and you can always be with the one you love, living together. Does such a place really exist? Your Majesty the Queen. Farewell. Chief of the Constables. Please. Queen Shuliduo Destroyed the Sacred Mountain out of personal desire Such a crime deserves death But considering her years of meritorious regency Therefore She is granted a special pardon Imprisoned in the dungeon Never to be released The King of Dongdan colluded with foreign enemies Implying rebellion Anyone may execute him This is hereby proclaimed Who is that? Why is she covered in blood? It seems to be Da Xieman How did she end up like this? What happened to her? Is she hurt? Oh my goodness I heard the Queen has lost control She’s really lost control What on earth happened here?

=The Way Back= Ancestor Ying Gou. (Ying Gou) Hello. I’m leaving. Back to the Central Plains. Thanks for everything lately. Till we meet again. By the way, Ancestor Jiangchen. What’s there in the Ninefold Horizons? Come closer, and I’ll tell you. I really am curious about that. You win. Are you really a descendant of the royal family? Yes. I aimed right at your heart. With such weak skills, you still dodged it? Guess I’m still not used to this body. Yuan Tiangang’s heart… Can you handle it? Who are you? Hualun Needle? Too bad you’re not him. How many of your Li clan are still alive? Duo Kuohuo? Where is Jiangchen? She’s under my spell. Trapped here. Before she fully leaves, there’s one last road to walk. A road? Where does it lead? To a place she’ll never reach. Don’t worry. Once she’s complete, I’ll see her off. But before that, I’ve got something to finish too. Once it’s done, I’ll leave too. She’s under your spell. Can she still come back? No chance. She’s still her. But all she remembers is that she’s me. And she always will be. So are we really going to fight? It’s been ages since I met
someone this good. I’d rather not. But I promised her I’d clean up this mess. You… If you’ve got something to say, better say it quick. Why do you want to kill me? Not just you. All of your Li clan that’s still alive. Every last one. You were trapped in Yin Mountain. Was it because of my clan? Was it? Maybe it was. But the people who came back then… Not a single one was named Li. If I hadn’t been born with
the gift to sense energy flow, and happened to land on that
energy-rich spot in Yin Mountain, plus those Baling Stones and Hualun Needles, I wouldn’t have survived even one thing missing. Since Heaven let me walk out
of Yin Mountain alive, maybe it wants me to settle these old scores. I’m sorry, boy. Because of this, I must kill you. Mm. But I can’t die. If there’s room to talk, I’d like to hear your story. If not, then don’t waste time. This body feels so heavy. She doesn’t have much time left. Since you’re all here, let’s see her off together. Sister! Play with me! Sister! Sister! Sister! Sister! Come on, play with me! Be good, A Li. I’m busy right now. Go play by yourself for a bit. I’m going over there. The princess is here! Princess! Princess! Princess! Princess. Naren! Naren! Naren! Hurry! Run! This… How could this be? Take her down! Take her down! By order of King Xiao Lie! Take them all to the main tent! Anyone who resists will be killed without mercy! Why? Why am I back here? Stay quiet, all of you! Watch them closely! Yes, sir! Don’t be scared, A Li. I will protect you. You’re amazing, Sister! Regroup the troops! Return to camp! Stop the carriage. When we marry off a daughter, we send her off with offerings. Now that Father has passed, is anyone here willing to take his place? I will. – I’ll go too.
– Count me in. Princess. Let me do it. There’s a Sage on Yin Mountain. Her power can open the gates
to the Ninefold Horizons. Now you are me. Go. – I want you to live.
– My voice will guide your path. I want you to live. Why? Because you are my princess. Can you do it? Can you do it? What are you doing? Let her go! I can. You! What are you doing? What are you hiding? Hand it over! (King Xiao Lie of the Li Tribe is gone.
Yuling people flee now!) So that’s what happened. Duo Kuohuo. Naren. What is it? It’s so good to see you all. A Li. From now on, the Sun Drum is yours to protect. Take it. I’ll keep it safe, I promise. King Xiao Lie is gone. The fire of vengeance
will soon rain from the sky. The Yuling people are in your hands now, Father. Where are you going? Naren. Naren. Princess. Shh… It’s you! How did you get here? Did anyone see you? Did you tell the others? Don’t worry. No one saw me. The Yuling Tribe must be gone by now. Xiongkulu bless us. Then why did you come here? To be with you. With me? To help you finish what you need to do. Help me finish what I need to do? Do you even know what that is? I do. And I also know where the Ninefold Horizons is. You… I’m your best friend. I know right now, you must have so many questions. But let me tell you. We’ve walked a very long road together. I know you love to smile. That cold face of yours in the tribe
was all just an act. And I know you’ll remember me
any second now. Because back at the Saman Gathering, I was the one running right behind you. And I know every single groove on your drum whip. Yeah. And that song. The one about the Ninefold Horizons. I know you’ll sing it for me again. I know everything about you. Si Yudan. Are you some kind of immortal? If you know everything, then do you know
what I’m thinking right now? I do. Come with me. I know now you want to keep running to buy time for the Yuling Tribe until you can’t run anymore. Right? Hyah! Go after them! You know I’ve beaten the same Sun Drum you have. Sat in that cork chair you love. Read the same ancient Yuling scrolls. Even your drum whip… I’ve used it more than once. You know every path you’ve walked, I’ve walked it too. Then what about this road? Have you walked this one? I have. Then let’s walk it again. Let’s race. Surround them! Why? Hou Qing. It’s them. Are you okay? You alright? They’re fighting! Take them down! Where is it? Where is it? Where is it? You’re awake. We made it out. But we can’t get down the mountain. They’ve already surrounded it. So where do we go now? There’s a cave. I need your help to find it. Let me get some rest, then… You… Wake up. Wake up. The cave. The cave. You’re awake! You okay? Don’t worry. There’s a snowstorm outside. No one’s following us. I cleared the tracks too. Relax. The poison… What’s wrong? What’s wrong? It’s fine. I’ll go find you some herbs. No need. It’s nothing.
The people outside are in trouble. I need to help them. Outside? It’s fine. Princess, may I borrow the Baling Stone? Yes. But promise me
you’ll listen to me from now on. Stop pushing yourself too hard. This is your most precious thing. And you’re just lending it to me? You saved the whole tribe and you saved me. I owe you my life. Aside from my father, I’ve never seen anyone as capable as you. From now on, this Baling Stone is yours. From now on, lead our people forward. Alright. How are you feeling? Much better. It should’ve helped. Tomorrow morning,
we’ll head down the mountain. Down the mountain? Are you crazy? The Li tribe has
the whole place covered. Going down there is a one-way trip. You should come with me. You just promised me, remember? Alright. I’ll go with you. Still early. Let’s get some rest. Okay. Tomorrow, it’s a deal. I’ll take some rest. Wake up. Wake up! Come on, snap out of it! Over there! – Go!
– Get up! Stop right there! – Don’t run!
– It’s them! – Talk while we run!
– Just like the general said! They’re right behind us! Over there! Stop! Stop! Take them down! Are you okay? I’m fine. You go ahead. I’ll hold them off. Over there! – One of ours is down!
– Send a signal! Go! Hurry, send the signal! Take them down! How are you holding up? Can you keep going? Wake up. I slipped. I’m fine. I’ll carry you. I suppose that should be enough time. The others in the tribe must be far away by now. My body can’t hold on anymore. You won’t get far carrying me. Try channeling your energy
with the drum whip. It’s no use. It stopped working yesterday. If I’d listened to you back then, we’d gone down the mountain, would it have… No. My body had already reached its limit. Even if we went down, we’d still have been killed. Don’t be sad. Look. Isn’t it beautiful? It is. Thank you. You should go. You still have a chance to get away. I’ve got an idea. Princess. What are you doing? I’ll hide you. Then I’ll lure them away. It’s impossible. Don’t move. You said you’d listen to me. Anything but this. Si Yudan. A hundred years have passed since last time I left. This time I won’t leave you, whatever happens. You won’t die. You’ll make it. Come back. Come back. There she is! Whoever kills the one
with the drum whip will be heavily rewarded! Attack! Ancestor Jiangchen. You old hag! Jiangchen! Princess. There’s no time. Warrior who tamed Xiongkulu. Slow down. – If your heroic spirit
– Slow down, Ying Gou. – still lingers in Gita,
– We’re almost done here. Let me finish this. please bring down divine punishment Give me a little more time. to the swines of the Li Tribe. Give me a little more time. Please bring down divine punishment! Just a little more time. Please bring down divine punishment. Help me. I’m running out of time. Help me. Help me just a little more. Ying Gou! Thank you. Thank you. You knew from the start that the ending couldn’t
be changed, didn’t you? I knew. Fate is unbreakable. Then why did you still come? To keep the promise we made. But that was just an excuse I made
to make you leave. I know. What is it like inside the Ninefold Horizons? It’s what the Northlands looks like a long, long time from now. I saw many possible futures. None of them had war. Everyone had food and warm clothes. Everyone was with family. Were we there too? Yes, we were. Looks like everything’s cleaned up. No need to thank me. Mate, get some rest.
