Master.
I have left the priesthood.
You don't have to
call me "Master" anymore.
Your Highness,
I should go too.
I'll go with you.
I left the priesthood
just to be with you.
No.
No, you can't.
Why not?
Is it because I killed Zhi Yuan?
No, it's not that.
Yuan already told me.
He didn't blame you
nor did he want me to blame you.
I said that
because I wanted you to spare his life.
Your Highness,
I don't know how you feel about me.
I didn't even realize
that my feelings for you had already
So
it was because
of the tribulation prophesy.
I worry
I might do something foolish.
Does it still hurt?
Look.
I look perfectly fine
in front of you, right?
You may kill me
as prophesied.
But you're also the reason
I return to the mortal world.
Besides,
if I didn't have you in my heart,
like a guiding light in the dark,
I would have perished
during the Tribulations of Hell.
Just like when I lost control
in the stone chamber.
It was also because of you
that I was saved.
It shows everything can be changed.
But that was just a guess.
It's not the reality.
Yan'er,
is this a good enough reason?
Those who are destined for each other
can overcome any obstacles.
Yan'er.
From now on,
you can directly address me by my name.
This person is Wu Xian,
the chief of the Ten Sorcerers.
The Ten Sorcerers
don't refer to ten individuals,
but rather the supreme cultivators
of the Ice Clan led by Wu Xian.
Wu Xian is the chief
of the Ten Sorcerers.
If he doesn't die,
the Ten Sorcerers
can be established anytime.
Previously,
I thought Wu Xian was dead.
The Sage surrendered his life,
foiling the Ice Clan's conspiracy.
But now it seems that Wu Xian
can die and be reborn,
the Sage must still be
in the mortal world,
and his true identity holds
a profound mystery.
I was careless.
It seems that the Ice Clan
will surely rise again,
spreading chaos throughout Kongsang.
Your Highness,
you may have returned
to the mortal world.
But no matter what happens
in the future,
Jiuyi Mountain
is willing to be the sword
and shield in your hands.
If you have any requests,
we shall answer.
Now that I've left the priesthood
and experienced
the Tribulations of Hell,
I no longer have any face
to trouble all of you
and disturb the peace of this mountain.
In the remaining years of my life,
I only wish to protect Yunhuang
and stay true to my heart.
The road ahead is long.
Please take care of yourself,
Your Highness.
Respected elders,
please take care as well.
Then let me help you once again.
I'm not a considerate teacher.
Cultivating as my disciple
will be hard work.
I'm not afraid of hard work.
You'll be very lonely.
No, I won't.
The valley was filled
with only the dead in the past,
you'll feel lonely by yourself.
But from now on,
I'll always accompany you.
So many things have happened
right in this Cultivating Hall.
You took me as your disciple.
It was the most correct decision
I've made in my life.
It's also the luckiest thing
that has ever happened to me.
Chong Ming,
what are your plans for the future?
Are you willing
to join us on our journey?
No.
I'm the majestic divine bird
of Jiuyi Mountain,
entrusted with the duty
of maintaining peace.
I can't simply leave my post
and accompany you down the mountain.
I'm not one irresponsible bird.
Zhu Yan,
you're leaving tomorrow, right?
After you descend the mountain,
you must take good care of Ying,
understand?
Aren't you coming with us?
From the moment I first saw you,
I knew you would take Ying away
from me.
But as long as he's happy,
then my wish is also
fulfilled.
What's there to cry about?
From now on,
if you dare to harm Ying one bit,
I'll
fly to Extreme Wind City
and settle scores with you.
Do you hear me?
Yes.
You have to take good care
of yourself too.
We'll miss you.
What are you saying?
I'll always be your friend.
If you need anything,
remember to come to me for help.
Oh,
don't tell Ying
that I cried.
It's too embarrassing.
Go down the mountain happily.
Don't tell Ying that I cried.
You're the most beautiful divine bird
I've ever known.
We'll miss you.
Chong Ming
You've been nagging at us
on the mountain for so long.
I've grown tired
of your icy demeanor
after all these years.
And
you never listen to advice.
You don't even care
about your own health.
I've become like an old woman,
nagging every day
that I got wrinkles from it.
Hurry and go down the mountain.
I've already
There, there.
You're a grown man.
Don't act so fussy.
I'm leaving now.
Don't miss me too much.
Shi Ying,
are you really not
taking anything with you?
When I came to Jiuyi Mountain,
I had nothing.
So when I leave Jiuyi Mountain,
I should also leave with empty hands.
Jiuyi Mountain
has brought you to me,
and we walk together side by side
in the mortal world.
I am already content.
After the infiltration of Yin energy,
it should be responded to
within nine days
with spiritual power and artifacts
that correspond to the five elements
to protect the meridians
and preserve the senses.
Yan'er,
the nine-day period has passed.
This method is no longer effective.
It's okay.
I'm gradually getting used to it.
If one missed the optimal timing,
they can only rely on their will and fate.
The desire of the heart
can surpass insurmountable obstacles.
Where the will is strongest,
even a withered tree
can bloom in spring.
What does this mean?
If I'm not mistaken,
it suggests
that the strongest desire in your heart
can break through
the barrier of energy
from the realm in-between.
The strongest desire?
It's not the real
No wonder on that day,
when we were in the forest,
I sensed something.
That day with me?
Do you have any other wishes?
What I mean is,
perhaps we can use the same method
to help you regain your sense
of taste and touch.
Other than that,
it seems there's nothing else.
I'm not saying that I want to
No, that's not it.
I'm saying I only want to be with you
No, no.
I'm not saying that I'm thinking
Then what do you want the most?
I
Yan'er,
what you desire in your heart
is also my heartfelt wish.
Yan'er,
rest assured.
I'll definitely help you
regain your senses.
It's all right.
I
What I want the most now
is to return to Extreme Wind City
and see my father and my mother.
They must be worried sick.
Perhaps,
I'll eat a serving
of Yanfeng Restaurant's boiled lamb
or smell the wind of Western Huang.
That should heal me.
Bai Fenglin,
you colluded with the Merfolk
and leaked military intelligence.
Do you have anything to say
in your defense?
I admit my guilt.
Bai Fenglin committed treason
and betrayed the country.
His crime is unforgivable.
Throw him into the dungeon
to be executed in autumn.
Bai Jing'an shall be stripped
of his royal title
and be demoted to a commoner.
Bai Xuelu.
Your Majesty,
Bai Xuelu is my future bride.
She may be Bai Fenglin's younger sister.
But she's not associated with him.
If she's implicated because of her clan,
I'm willing to take the punishment
on her behalf.
Take the punishment on her behalf?
Are you willing to be demoted
and imprisoned in her place?
Yes.
I'm willing to share
any punishment sentenced to Xuelu.
Very well.
I shall grant your request.
Bai Xuelu,
you acted with great righteousness,
not showing favoritism to your clan.
I hereby bestow you
the title of White Queen.
I humbly accept your decree.
Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty.
I have
another request.
Let's hear it.
I would like to retrieve
my mother's memorial tablet
and bring it back
to White King's Residence.
Permission granted.
You may rise.
- Thank you, Your Majesty.
- Thank you, Your Majesty.
Your Majesty,
as a guilty subject,
I also wish to atone for my sins
and expose the traitors
within our country.
It was my foolishness
and eagerness for redemption
that led to my tragic mistake.
But there is someone
No,
to be precise, an entire clan
that has colluded with the Merfolk
and even sheltered the Sea Emperor
for two hundred years.
The Crimson King, Zhu Gaozhao
and Princess Zhu Yan
have committed heinous crimes
deserving of extermination.
During the war,
I extracted the portrait
of the Sea Emperor
from a captive
of the Merfolk marine force.
We sent someone to Extreme Wind City
to confirm his identity.
The Sea Emperor
is none other than Zhi Yuan,
the keeper of the Crimson Residence.
For two centuries,
he has been hiding
within the Crimson Residence,
having a close relationship
with Princess Zhu Yan.
This is known to all in Western Huang.
The evidence and witnesses are abundant.
I urge you to thoroughly investigate
the relationship
between the Merfolk marine force
and the Crimson Clan.
We must not foster a threat
within our midst.
(Extreme Wind City)
Master, look!
Yan'er,
look at that.
Yan'er,
you've lost so much weight.
Here.
This is your favorite milk pudding.
Eat more.
Thank you, Mother.
It's really delicious.
Mother,
you made this, right?
Home is still the best.
I really wish
I can keep staying by your side
and eat the food you cook.
Silly girl.
Why are you saying such silly things?
Don't you want to get married?
Your Highness,
please help yourself first.
I don't deserve this, Your Highness.
Your Highness,
my daughter has been under your care
for so many years.
This time, you even traveled a long way
to send her back to Extreme Wind City.
I'll drink this as a respect.
If Your Highness can't handle
the strong liquor of Western Huang,
I'll instruct them
to serve tea instead.
No need to trouble yourself.
When in Rome, do as the Romans do.
I'll drink it.
Shi Ying is not good at drinking.
Let me drink on his behalf.
Yan'er,
what are you doing?
Yan'er,
stop messing around.
I apologize on my daughter's behalf.
His Highness is a dignified prince.
How dare you address him by his name
and even snatch His Highness's drink.
That's too presumptuous.
Please have a seat, Crimson King.
It's my fortune that Yan'er helped me
out of a predicament.
She was not being presumptuous.
Please sit.
Yan'er and I share
the same affection for each other
and have experienced life
and death together.
Actually,
I've prepared a betrothal gift
according to the customs
of the Crimson Clan.
Crimson King.
Crimson Consort.
I request that Yan'er
be betrothed to me.
I do.
Your Highness,
Yan'er has been willful
because we've spoiled her
too much in the past.
If she has done anything wrong,
please let us know.
We'll discipline her strictly
and make sure she changes
all her bad habits before getting married.
Father.
Yan'er is fine just the way she is.
No need to change.
Yan'er
has been opposing
the arranged marriage we set for her.
As her mother,
I had my suspicions
that there must be someone
she deeply loves in her heart.
I never expected that person
to be Your Highness.
As parents,
our greatest wish
is for our daughter
to be safe and happy.
We're willing to entrust Yan'er to you.
May you protect her for a lifetime.
I'm willing to be with Yan'er
like the Gong and Shang Stars,
unwavering in this love,
never apart in this lifetime.
I'm willing to be with Shi Ying
like the Gong and Shang Stars,
unwavering in this love,
never apart
in this lifetime.
♪Whose longing has been stirred up♪
♪Unfinished fate and love
while passion has gone♪
♪Like a nightmare♪
♪Longing to meet again in dreams♪
You are the prince.
Don't we need to get approval
from His Majesty of our marriage?
As long as you agree,
no one can stop us
from being together.
♪When this life reaches its end♪
I wonder what our wedding feast
will be like.
As long as it's something you like,
I'll help you make it happen.
At that time, I want
to invite everyone
in Extreme Wind City
to come and celebrate.
After all,
they've watched me grow up.
All right.
I'll invite Xueying,
Shi Yu,
Qing Gang,
and Xuelu.
They probably didn't expect
that we would get married before them.
It's their fault for being so slow.
Yes,
it's their fault for being so slow.
We won't wait.
Then I'll also go to Yanfeng Restaurant
to discuss creating a menu
that suits you with Master Wu.
It's time for him to bring out
the 20-year-old Nv'erhong wine
he has been hiding.
Thank you for saving Sumo, my lord.
Can you tell me
when Sumo will awaken?
This child
is indeed the one
you've been waiting for.
However, it's not the time
for his awakening.
Once he returns to the Biluo Sea,
I'll also enter a long period of hibernation,
to wait for his awakening
seventy years later.
When the Sea Emperor returns,
the God of Dragon awakens.
When the God of Dragon awakens,
Biluo Sea will purge.
Unfortunately, it's not the time
for the fate of the Merfolk
to be fulfilled.
Yuan,
I've finally found happiness.
You'll wish me well,
right?
Yuan.
Did you send me your wishes
because you heard my voice?
(Why is the Evil Star shining again?)
(Could it be that the Sea Emperor
is still alive?)
The Merfolk marine force
may be in disorder.
But you're still the Sea Emperor
they've been waiting
for seven thousand years.
The Merfolk
will naturally obey you.
If you've made up your mind,
there's nothing
that you can't accomplish.
Unless
you're not the Sea Emperor at all.
Could it be that Zhi Yuan
is not the Sea Emperor?
He only schemed
to protect the true ruler of the Merfolk.
Step back! Step back!
Everyone, clear the way!
Drop your weapons!
The Crimson Clan
betrayed the grace of the Emperor,
acted rebelliously and recklessly,
and colluded with the Merfolk marine force
to hide the Sea Emperor, Zhi Yuan,
within the residence.
They are guilty of treason
and committed immeasurable crimes.
In the Battle of Zhaoyun Crossing,
the traitor Zhu Gaozhao
of the Crimson Clan,
together with his daughter Zhu Yan,
conspired against Kongsang
and colluded with the Merfolk.
Such intention deserves to be punished.
Azure King, Qing Gang
will escort the entire members
of Crimson Residence
to Jialan into custody
for further investigation.
By the order of the Emperor.
It's my fault
for implicating both of you.
It is true that Zhi Yuan once served
as a keeper in the Crimson Residence.
But no one among our clansmen knew
of his identity as the Sea Emperor.
He returned
to the Merfolk marine force only
after being expelled
from the Crimson Residence.
During his time in Extreme Wind City,
he had no contact with the Merfolk.
As for the incident at Zhaoyun Crossing,
it was my own decision,
unrelated to the Crimson Clan.
If Zhi Yuan is indeed the Sea Emperor,
as the Crimson King,
I can't shirk my responsibility.
Zhu Yan was young and naive,
deceived by wicked people.
Any blame or punishment
should fall solely on me.
Father.
What a loving father
and dutiful daughter.
Unfortunately,
this is a crime deserving
of the extermination of the entire clans.
The imperial decree clearly states
that the entire Crimson Clan
must be taken into custody
for investigation.
Guards.
- Yes.
- Yes.
Arrest her!
Yan'er.
Stop!
Your Highness.
Your Highness,
why are you here?
You have no authority
to pass any verdict
on behalf of His Majesty.
During their journey to Jialan,
they should not be harmed.
Of course, Your Highness.
Crimson King, Crimson Consort, please rise.
Yan'er.
Yan'er,
I'll personally explain the truth
to His Majesty.
Wait for me.
(Memerial Tablet of Late Mother, Xizhu)
Mother,
I've brought you back
to the White Queen's Residence
in a dignified manner.
It's all right
if that man doesn't acknowledge you.
From now on,
the descendants of the White Clan
will all pay their respects to you.
The father and son brought this
upon themselves.
Their titles have been stripped off
and I have succeeded as the White Queen.
I'll be taking over the army.
Please protect me from heaven.
Your Majesty.
Ying,
let me take a good look at you.
You have finally returned.
I have wronged you
and your mother.
Your Majesty,
I have come
to discuss the matter
of Crimson Residence.
Back then, you wronged me and Mother.
Now, please don't make the same mistake
with Crimson Residence.
I already knew.
How could I not know
that the Princess of Crimson Clan
is someone you love?
You were willing to face
the Tribulations of Hell for her.
But the collusion
between Crimson Clan and Sea Emperor
has been widely discussed
both inside and outside the court,
and the evidence is overwhelming.
I can show leniency because of you.
But I can't spare the entire Crimson Clan.
Ying,
I promise
to spare Zhu Yan's life
alone.
Your Majesty,
do you think
everyone in the world
judges right from wrong
solely on emotions as you do?
If that were the case,
Zhu Yan wouldn't have to
surrender herself.
With her current strength,
she could easily take
the entire Crimson Residence and flee.
Forget about the dungeon,
there are only a few
in the entire Yunhuang
who can be her match.
The Merfolk leader Zhi Yuan,
who was present
during the siege of Ye City,
did serve as a keeper
in Crimson Residence.
But
he left Crimson Residence
before returning to the Merfolk.
Zhi Yuan has been attempting
to quell the conflict
between the Kongsang Army
and the Merfolk marine force,
and he was the one who signed
the ceasefire agreement with me.
In the end,
he even sacrificed
his life for the sake of peace.
Ying,
these are only your words.
It'll be hard to convince the mass.
Moreover, your relationship with Zhu Yan
is very close.
I'm guilty.
But I'm willing to guarantee it
with my life.
I'm only asking for a half-month period.
Your Highness, Princess Zhu Yan is here.
Yan'er,
you have suffered.
It's all right.
I'll personally explain
Yuan being the Sea Emperor
to His Majesty.
If he insists on the punishment,
I'll bear it alone.
During the fight
at Xinghaiyun Pleasure House,
Zhi Yuan had already made up his mind
to sacrifice himself for a just cause.
While I know he has a noble character,
I had a mission that day.
I
I understand.
You and Zhi Yuan
are the protectors of Kongsang
and the Sea Kingdom.
It's your responsibility.
At that time,
I oversimplified things.
But Zhi Yuan
was not the Sea Emperor at all.
Look,
the Evil Star has appeared again.
And that day,
I mistakenly killed an innocent person.
Yuan was not the Sea Emperor?
Someone else is the Sea Emperor?
But now, you no longer have any power.
I won't go after
the Sea Emperor's life anymore.
Even one person's life
can be influenced by countless forces.
Let alone the fate of a country.
Yan'er,
according to the prophecy,
you are the cursed lady for me.
But in the end,
you also saved me.
It shows
that everything is within our control.
You're right.
Since we were able
to change destiny once,
then we can change it countless times.
With you by my side,
I fear nothing.
I refuse to believe that Kongsang
and the Sea Kingdom
cannot coexist peacefully.
I'm sure the person Zhi Yuan
sacrificed himself to protect
is not an evil person
who will cause bloodshed in Kongsang.
Yan'er,
I've obtained a half-month time
from His Majesty.
Let's go to Cangwu Abyss
to meet the God of Dragon.
Perhaps the God of Dragon
can help us.
All right.
The two divine rings
are now under my control.
With the combined power
of the dual rings,
I'll destroy the world!
I can use
the power of the world
to instantly annihilate
the entire Yunhuang.
Then
I'll lead all of you
to establish a new Yunhuang
on this wasteland.
My Lord, we pledge our lives
to follow you!
In this lifetime,
without regrets or hesitations.
May this mountain and sea
be boundless.
In this lifetime,
without regrets or hesitations.
May this mountain and sea
be boundless.
In this lifetime,
without regrets or hesitations.
My Lord,
has there been a flaw in our plan?
Dragon Soul Seal!
This is Dragon Soul Seal!
Bai Wei!
Darn you, Bai Wei!
You were worried the rings
will fall into my hands.
So you cast a seal
on Houtu!
My Lord, what should we do now?
Now,
we need the blood of the Sea Emperor
to break the Dragon Soul Seal
to release its power
to destroy the world.
Bai Wei thought
the Sea Emperor was dead.
But she didn't expect
that after seven thousand years,
the Sea Emperor would appear
in Kongsang.
Look at this.
The Evil Star is telling me
the whereabouts of the Sea Emperor.
No one can stop me
from destroying Yunhuang!
- Congratulations. My Lord!
- Congratulations. My Lord!
God of Dragon,
Shi Ying and Zhu Yan of Kongsang
request an audience.
How dare you come here again?
Aren't you afraid of death?
God of Dragon,
the Evil Star has reappeared
in the night sky.
It means the Sea Emperor is not dead
and is still within Kongsang's border.
Do you think you can threaten me
with the Sea Emperor?
But the Menghua Dynasty
will still perish in seventy years.
God of Dragon,
we did not come here
to uncover the truth
about the Sea Emperor.
The incident of mistakenly
killing Zhi Yuan
made me understand
that prophecies are nothing
but hopes in people's hearts.
They cannot determine
the fate of a nation.
If the ruler is virtuous and wise,
the country and its people will prosper.
No one can shake
the foundation of Kongsang at all.
If the ruler is corrupt and oppressive,
the people will suffer.
And even if it's not the Sea Emperor,
there will be others
who'll rise in rebellion.
Since you didn't come
for the Sea Emperor,
what do you seek?
God of Dragon,
nothing in this world
can escape your eyes.
You have long known everything
that Yuan sacrificed for the Merfolk.
Now he is accused
of colluding with the Crimson Clan.
Neither Yuan
nor the Crimson Clan
should bear such accusations.
We seek the truth from you.
You have actually come
to ask me to save the people
of Kongsang.
Seven thousand years ago,
Empress Bai Wei
fought for the sake of the Sea Kingdom
and prevented the tragedy
of the Merfolk's destruction.
Two hundred years ago,
Princess Chizhu Feili advocated
for a ceasefire
for someone she loved,
bringing peace between the two clans.
Just a month ago,
Zhi Yuan and Yan'er
risked their lives multiple times
to prevent the massacre of both clans.
The mountains and rivers of Yunhuang
nurture countless lives,
and all things have spirits.
For thousands of years,
Kongsang and the Merfolk
have had trade and friendly relations.
There is no distinction between us.
Therefore,
I implore the God of Dragon
to proclaim to the world
the innocence of Zhi Yuan
and the Crimson Clan.
Why don't you
let Zhi Yuan speak up for himself?
Zhi Yuan is not dead yet.
How is that possible?
On that day
at Xinghaiyun Pleasure House,
I clearly
Yuan is not dead yet.
How is this possible?
The Sea Kingdom still needs him.
So I planted the Dragon's Breath
in him long ago.
Zhi Yuan.
That's why
even though you injured
Zhi Yuan's essence
at Xinghaiyun Pleasure House,
he did not perish
because of my Dragon's Breath.
Instead, he was transported
to a safe place.
Where is he now?
The one who tied the knot must untie it.
It was the people of Kongsang
who caused him
to fall into a deep sleep.
It is also you
who can awaken him.
Use the techniques I taught you
to remove his seal.
With my power,
summon him back to life.
Have I succeeded?
Yuan.
Yuan.
Yao Yi,
is this us meeting in heaven?
No.
Yuan,
you're not dead.
Priest of Grand Preceptor?
Priest of Grand Preceptor.
I've long returned to the mortal world.
I'm no longer
the Priest of Grand Preceptor of Jiuyi.
Shi Ying.
Princess.
Congratulations to both of you,
for your love
has finally come to fruition.
But Shi Ying,
why did you spare me,
the Sea Emperor?
It was God of Dragon
who planted the Dragon's Breath in you,
protecting your soul.
And he also informed us that you're here.
Moreover, you were never meant to die.
The true Sea Emperor
is someone else,
isn't it?
Yuan,
don't worry.
Shi Ying has no intention
of bringing harm to the Sea Emperor.
After experiencing life and death,
we have already seen
through the prophecy.
Things are in our hands.
There is nothing in this world
that cannot be reversed.
Are you truly willing
to let go of the Sea Emperor?
Trying to escape?
Let me kill you,
hypocritical Merfolk!
Don't harm the child.
So the Sea Emperor
is really the child
you were holding in Ye City?
He was unconscious
and lost his mother.
Unconscious
and lost his mother?
Sumo?
It's Sumo, right?
So the child's name is Sumo.
Yan'er,
think carefully.
That child is no ordinary Merfolk.
That's right.
He can merge
with the Dragon Blood Jade
Yuan gave to me.
Sumo.
So Sumo is the Sea Emperor.
We need to find Sumo immediately.
I believe
he has been hiding
near the Cangwu Abyss, right?
Shi Ying,
didn't you say
you no longer believe
in the Evil Star thing?
I won't harm anyone anymore
because of that prophecy.
It's just that this child
is important to you, Yan'er,
the Merfolk,
and the people of Kongsang.
I want to see him return
to the Biluo Sea myself.
You're right.
Even if you're willing to spare him,
it will inevitably lead
to another bloodbath
if someone with ill intentions
discovers him,
and figures out
the Evil Star has returned,
and the Sea Emperor
is still in Kongsang.
So
according to the God of Dragon,
Yuan needs to do something
for the Merfolk marine force.
This matter is related to Sumo.
What day is it today?
It's a leap day.
We must hurry
to the Huangquan Waterfall.
Or else it'll be too late.
Ruyi.
Lord Zhi?
Are you all right?
Are you here to pick us up?
Sumo.
Lord Zhi,
why did you bring
two Kongsang people here?
Ruyi,
don't you remember me?
I'm Zhu Yan.
Yuan is not just Lord Zhi,
but your
Princess,
I'll explain everything
to Ruyi slowly in the future.
Shi Ying,
do you have a way
to restore Sumo's consciousness?
He has been put
under the Dream Alteration Spell.
That's why he's in this deep sleep.
Zhi Yuan, as the descendant
of the Dragon Clan,
you're able to undo the dream.
Meanwhile,
Yan'er will protect his heart pulse.
Sumo should be able to wake up
without any backlash.
That's great.
Sumo is finally saved.
But
he has been under the spell
for too long.
And we don't know
the specifics of the altered dream.
Elder Jian's suggestions to him
are deeply rooted.
It may be difficult for us
to completely uproot them.
In the future,
if he suffered another blow,
there may be relapses.
As long as Sumo can wake up,
Ruyi and I will guide
and influence him slowly.
He'll surely get better.
We shouldn't delay any longer.
Zhi Yuan,
undo the Dream Alteration Spell for him.
Yan'er,
remember these hand gestures.
All right.
I've memorized them.
Sumo.
Uncle Yuan.
What is this place?
Sumo.
Sister?
Sumo!
No.
You abandoned me.
You don't want me anymore.
I hate you!
I hate you!
Sumo.
I hate you!
I've been looking for you all along.
You abandoned me!
I missed you.
I hate you!
I missed you, Sumo.
I hate you.
Sumo.
I'm sorry, Sumo.
I'm sorry.
There, there.
It's all right now.
I'm sorry.
It's all my fault.
I'm sorry.
I'm glad you're okay.
Princess,
they should go home now.
That's great.
We can finally return to the Biluo Sea.
Only on a leap day
can the bloodline of the Sea Emperor
resonate with the God of Dragon,
briefly opening a pathway
to the Biluo Sea.
If he doesn't go this time,
we'll have to wait
for several more years.
Undue delay may bring troubles.
Come on, let's go home.
Sumo.
Lord Zhi,
what about you?
Aren't you going home with us?
I have to return to Jialan
to give Kongsang an explanation.
I'll find a way
to return to the Biluo Sea to see you.
Don't worry about me.
Uncle Yuan,
I'm going now.
Sister.
Sumo.
Promise me
to listen to Ruyi
and don't be deceived by bad people.
There are still many good people
like me in Kongsang.
As long as we are all alive,
we will meet again someday.
When you grow up,
come find me.
Okay?
It's a promise.
You must live a long life.
Okay.
I want to see you all grown up.
You must also grow up safely.
Let's go.
Yuan!
Yuan!
Yuan!
Yan'er.
I am Xuyao.
Xuyao?
Isn't that one of the ancient Gods?
The God of Destruction,
opposing the God of Creation.
Why did he
enter Yuan's body?
I sense this aura
somewhere before.
Was it Diba or
It's your fault
that I lose the Sea Emperor's blood.
But this descendant
of the Dragon Blood is not bad.
With him around,
why worry about controlling
the future Sea Emperor?
So you were
the one controlling Xingzun back then.
Why do you need
the Sea Emperor's blood?
Stop struggling.
You're no match for me.
You have nothing left in Kongsang
and no attachment to the mortal world.
Why waste your effort fighting me?
No.
I have someone I care about.
I won't be defeated by you.
Do you think Zhu Yan
is the reincarnation of Chizhu Feili?
You're dreaming.
Zhi Yuan,
face your inner desires.
It was Zhu Yan
who caused Yao Yi's death.
She destroyed
Yao Yi's remaining consciousness.
Let her pay the price.
Turn Zhu Yan into Yao Yi.
As a descendant of the Dragon Blood,
only you can take me
to the Biluo Sea.
Let's make a deal.
You help me find the Sea Emperor.
Then I'll fulfill your wish.
Yuan.
No!
He's not Zhi Yuan.
Xuyao has taken over his body.
Yao Yi,
come here.
What did you call me?
I'm Zhu Yan,
not Yao Yi.
From now on,
you will be my Yao Yi.
Xuyao is skilled
at exploiting the darkest
and most selfish desires
of the original host
for his own benefit.
Back then,
he used Emperor Xingzun's feelings
for Empress Bai Wei.
And now he's using Zhi Yuan's obsession
with Yao Yi.
Yao Yi,
where do you think
you're going with this man
after abandoning me?
Can you escape from my grasp?
Why not
experience my newfound power?
Shi Ying!
Shi Ying!
Shi Ying.
Stop it.
Shi Ying.
Let her go.
Shi Ying!
Stop it.
You can't harm him.
Shi Ying.
Shi Ying.
From now on,
there is only one king in Yunhuang.
There can only be one person
in your heart,
and that's me.
Shi Ying.
As for him,
he'll be treated
anyhow I want.
Shi Ying.
No!
Stop it!
Shi Ying.
How about it, Shi Ying?
Do you admit defeat?
If you admit now that she is mine,
I can spare your life.
Shi Ying.
No.
Shi Ying.
The Yao Yi you loved
died two hundred years ago.
Yan'er isn't her!
Stop it!
No!
Shi Ying.
He's doomed.
No!
Yuan,
I'm willing to become Yao Yi.
From now on,
I'll be your Yao Yi.
Wu Gu,
prepare the wedding ceremony for us.
Shi Ying!
This waterway
is filled with
countless hidden currents and passages.
For centuries, countless lost souls
have wandered here,
never finding their way out,
forever trapped in despair.
Yao Yi,
no one can find us here.
We've arrived at our new home.
(It turns out)
(my great-great-grandmother)
(and I look so similar.)
(Her bead coincidentally
recognized me that day.)
(No wonder Yuan was so fixated on)
(mistaking me for her.)
Yao Yi,
this is the belated wedding ceremony
I have prepared for you
that's two hundred years late.
What?
Getting married?
Why?
Are you not happy with it?
Well,
don't you think
it's a little bit too rushed?
Rushed?
You want to be my Yao Yi.
But you think it's too rushed?
At this moment,
are you truly willing to be my Yao Yi?
Yuan.
Of course, I am sincere.
It's just that marriage
is a significant event in life.
I need to inform my parents.
In the previous life,
everyone believed
that Merfolk was not suitable to be
with Kongsang people.
But now,
no one can stop me.
I won't care about anyone's opinions.
But I'm a girl.
Naturally, I hope
the wedding will be lively and festive.
Are you just trying to deceive me,
using this as an opportunity
to delay and escape,
aren't you?
Let me go.
You're my Yao Yi.
I won't let you go anymore.
- I want to have you now.
- Let me go!
Let me go!
Zhi Yuan, what do you want to do?
You hurt me!
Yao Yi?
Yao Yi,
are you all right?
I didn't mean to hurt you.
I was too eager.
After two hundred years,
we can finally be together.
Yuan,
why don't
you tell me
about your relationship with Yao Yi?
It will help me
to be a better Yao Yi for you.
And then
we can get married.
Okay.
This eyebrow shape
is Yao Yi's favorite.
Look,
two of us in the mirror.
Don't we look perfect together?
(It's raining so heavily.)
(And Shi Ying is seriously injured.)
(I have to find a way to escape.)
What are you thinking?
I
I was just thinking
that after two hundred years,
you still remember
how to draw this eyebrow shape.
Your memory is remarkable.
Of course, I remember
every detail of Yao Yi.
In the future,
you should remember them all too.
Yuan,
now you won't even
let me touch your reverse scale anymore?
Is there no place
for me in your heart anymore?
Yuan.
My head hurts.
Although your feelings for me
are not as deep as those
for my great-great-grandmother,
they are still precious to me.
You're the Keeper Yuan
who watched me grow up.
You accompanied me,
protected me,
and understood me,
like a father and an older brother.
Like a father and an older brother.
Like a father and an older brother.
Don't you cherish this bond too?
That's why
when you mistook me
for Yao Yi's reincarnation,
you didn't say anything
and faced everything alone.
You're equally important to me.
I want to keep Yan'er safe.
I want Yao Yi to come back.
Yuan.
I want to keep Yan'er safe.
Yuan.
Yuan.
I want to keep Yan'er safe.
Yuan.
I'll come back and save you
after I find a solution.
Yuan.
I want to keep Yan'er safe.
I'll come back to rescue you
after I find a way.
I want Yao Yi to come back!
As expected, it's not that easy.
With my thoughts,
search for my desire.
Set off.
This is my Ice Clan's
ultimate formation.
You can't escape.
Yan'er,
you've been lying to me all along.
I accidentally fell into
your trap earlier.
But
how could I bear
to let Yao Yi,
who is about to be in my grasp,
slip away?
I can't bring myself to tell you.
Everything you do will be in vain.
Shi Ying has lost all his power
and I gave him a fatal blow.
I'm afraid
his vital organs are consumed by inner fire,
and nerves and blood vessels are severed.
Just like this.
See that, right?
So what's the use if you found him?
Wu Gu,
why don't you
go and collect Shi Ying's corpse?
If he miraculously
survives,
kill that useless person for me.
Yes.
Yuan,
when did you become
such a monster?
Now let me tell you
how to become Yao Yi.
Since you refuse to accept my goodwill,
don't blame me for forcing you.
How do you feel
about wearing Yao Yi's clothes,
smelling her favorite fragrance,
and drinking her favorite wine?
Do you feel like
you're becoming Yao Yi?
I have lost
my sense of taste and smell.
I can't smell the fragrance,
nor taste the flavor.
Your efforts are in vain.
The one who loves you is Yao Yi,
not me.
You forced me to marry you.
You're only marrying a shell
without a soul.
No, no, no.
From now on,
you will become my Yao Yi.
What are you planning to do?
I want to transform you into Yao Yi.
You actually want to turn me
into someone else?
Are you insane?
Zhu Yan,
didn't you lose
your sense of taste and smell?
Now, by transforming you
into someone else,
won't your senses come back?
Then
you can enjoy
everything in this world with me.
Let go of me.
I don't want this.
I am Zhu Yan.
I don't want to become anyone else!
Supreme power, fulfill my wish.
From now on,
you'll forget your identity as Zhu Yan
and live
as Yao Yi.
I am Chizhu Feili,
the leader of Extreme Wind City.
You can also call me Yao Yi.
Good.
Now that you have accepted me
as your master,
you should remember my teachings.
Yuan,
have you undergone a transformation?
Wait for my return.
I will wait for your rebirth.
Yan'er!
What did you do to Yan'er?
You actually regained your power.
Pushed to the brink of death
and then reborn, huh?
Let Yan'er go!
Yan'er?
Who's Yan'er?
She has already become my Yao Yi.
You've come for me.
Yan'er.
If heaven won't take your life,
then let me kill you.
That way,
you won't have to think about anything
and will forever be my Yao Yi.
Yan'er.
Yan'er?
Yan'er,
did I hurt you?
It's impossible.
This can't be.
Yan'er!
Impossible.
Yan'er.
That's impossible.
I couldn't have hurt Yan'er.
This is impossible.
I would never harm Yan'er.
Yan'er, are you all right?
Yuan,
are you more clear-headed now?
Yan'er,
I
Yuan.
You two, leave now.
Go now!
Yan'er, are you okay?
I'm fine.
It's just that Xuyao
tried to turn me into Yao Yi.
Luckily, you arrived in time
and interrupted the spell.
Don't worry.
I'll be fine.
Look, I look perfectly fine
in front of you.
If you feel something's wrong,
you must let me know.
What about you?
Xuyao said
your organs are consumed by inner fire,
and your nerves
and blood vessels are severed.
That should have happened.
But
in the face of death,
I felt the power of your fire crane.
That was how I managed to hold on.
The heavenly thunder
opened up my meridians
and helped me restore the power
that I had lost.
But I never expected
Xuyao to completely transform Yuan
into someone else.
Xuyao now
controls the two divine rings.
Given time,
his ability to manipulate people's hearts
will only grow stronger.
Eventually,
he can even command the army
at his will.
Army?
That's right.
What's even more terrifying is that
if Xuyao finds the Sea Emperor
through Zhi Yuan,
he can unlock
the seal on the rings
and absorb the power of the world
to destroy Yunhuang.
So we must not leave the rings
in Xuyao's hands.
We must find a way to retrieve them.
But Yuan is practically immortal now.
We can't defeat him.
Besides,
we don't have
the incantation to control the rings.
So we can't summon them.
Yan'er.
Zhi Yuan's current strength
won't be able
to withstand Xuyao for long.
So
we need to leave this place
as soon as possible
and return to Jialan to find a solution.
This catastrophe
affects the entire world.
Yunhuang
will be engulfed in the flames of war.

Master.
I have left the priesthood.
You don't have to
call me "Master" anymore.
Your Highness,
I should go too.
I'll go with you.
I left the priesthood
just to be with you.
No.
No, you can't.
Why not?
Is it because I killed Zhi Yuan?
No, it's not that.
Yuan already told me.
He didn't blame you
nor did he want me to blame you.
I said that
because I wanted you to spare his life.
Your Highness,
I don't know how you feel about me.
I didn't even realize
that my feelings for you had already
So
it was because
of the tribulation prophesy.
I worry
I might do something foolish.
Does it still hurt?
Look.
I look perfectly fine
in front of you, right?
You may kill me
as prophesied.
But you're also the reason
I return to the mortal world.
Besides,
if I didn't have you in my heart,
like a guiding light in the dark,
I would have perished
during the Tribulations of Hell.
Just like when I lost control
in the stone chamber.
It was also because of you
that I was saved.
It shows everything can be changed.
But that was just a guess.
It's not the reality.
Yan'er,
is this a good enough reason?
Those who are destined for each other
can overcome any obstacles.
Yan'er.
From now on,
you can directly address me by my name.
This person is Wu Xian,
the chief of the Ten Sorcerers.
The Ten Sorcerers
don't refer to ten individuals,
but rather the supreme cultivators
of the Ice Clan led by Wu Xian.
Wu Xian is the chief
of the Ten Sorcerers.
If he doesn't die,
the Ten Sorcerers
can be established anytime.
Previously,
I thought Wu Xian was dead.
The Sage surrendered his life,
foiling the Ice Clan's conspiracy.
But now it seems that Wu Xian
can die and be reborn,
the Sage must still be
in the mortal world,
and his true identity holds
a profound mystery.
I was careless.
It seems that the Ice Clan
will surely rise again,
spreading chaos throughout Kongsang.
Your Highness,
you may have returned
to the mortal world.
But no matter what happens
in the future,
Jiuyi Mountain
is willing to be the sword
and shield in your hands.
If you have any requests,
we shall answer.
Now that I've left the priesthood
and experienced
the Tribulations of Hell,
I no longer have any face
to trouble all of you
and disturb the peace of this mountain.
In the remaining years of my life,
I only wish to protect Yunhuang
and stay true to my heart.
The road ahead is long.
Please take care of yourself,
Your Highness.
Respected elders,
please take care as well.
Then let me help you once again.
I'm not a considerate teacher.
Cultivating as my disciple
will be hard work.
I'm not afraid of hard work.
You'll be very lonely.
No, I won't.
The valley was filled
with only the dead in the past,
you'll feel lonely by yourself.
But from now on,
I'll always accompany you.
So many things have happened
right in this Cultivating Hall.
You took me as your disciple.
It was the most correct decision
I've made in my life.
It's also the luckiest thing
that has ever happened to me.
Chong Ming,
what are your plans for the future?
Are you willing
to join us on our journey?
No.
I'm the majestic divine bird
of Jiuyi Mountain,
entrusted with the duty
of maintaining peace.
I can't simply leave my post
and accompany you down the mountain.
I'm not one irresponsible bird.
Zhu Yan,
you're leaving tomorrow, right?
After you descend the mountain,
you must take good care of Ying,
understand?
Aren't you coming with us?
From the moment I first saw you,
I knew you would take Ying away
from me.
But as long as he's happy,
then my wish is also
fulfilled.
What's there to cry about?
From now on,
if you dare to harm Ying one bit,
I'll
fly to Extreme Wind City
and settle scores with you.
Do you hear me?
Yes.
You have to take good care
of yourself too.
We'll miss you.
What are you saying?
I'll always be your friend.
If you need anything,
remember to come to me for help.
Oh,
don't tell Ying
that I cried.
It's too embarrassing.
Go down the mountain happily.
Don't tell Ying that I cried.
You're the most beautiful divine bird
I've ever known.
We'll miss you.
Chong Ming
You've been nagging at us
on the mountain for so long.
I've grown tired
of your icy demeanor
after all these years.
And
you never listen to advice.
You don't even care
about your own health.
I've become like an old woman,
nagging every day
that I got wrinkles from it.
Hurry and go down the mountain.
I've already
There, there.
You're a grown man.
Don't act so fussy.
I'm leaving now.
Don't miss me too much.
Shi Ying,
are you really not
taking anything with you?
When I came to Jiuyi Mountain,
I had nothing.
So when I leave Jiuyi Mountain,
I should also leave with empty hands.
Jiuyi Mountain
has brought you to me,
and we walk together side by side
in the mortal world.
I am already content.
After the infiltration of Yin energy,
it should be responded to
within nine days
with spiritual power and artifacts
that correspond to the five elements
to protect the meridians
and preserve the senses.
Yan'er,
the nine-day period has passed.
This method is no longer effective.
It's okay.
I'm gradually getting used to it.
If one missed the optimal timing,
they can only rely on their will and fate.
The desire of the heart
can surpass insurmountable obstacles.
Where the will is strongest,
even a withered tree
can bloom in spring.
What does this mean?
If I'm not mistaken,
it suggests
that the strongest desire in your heart
can break through
the barrier of energy
from the realm in-between.
The strongest desire?
It's not the real
No wonder on that day,
when we were in the forest,
I sensed something.
That day with me?
Do you have any other wishes?
What I mean is,
perhaps we can use the same method
to help you regain your sense
of taste and touch.
Other than that,
it seems there's nothing else.
I'm not saying that I want to
No, that's not it.
I'm saying I only want to be with you
No, no.
I'm not saying that I'm thinking
Then what do you want the most?
I
Yan'er,
what you desire in your heart
is also my heartfelt wish.
Yan'er,
rest assured.
I'll definitely help you
regain your senses.
It's all right.
I
What I want the most now
is to return to Extreme Wind City
and see my father and my mother.
They must be worried sick.
Perhaps,
I'll eat a serving
of Yanfeng Restaurant's boiled lamb
or smell the wind of Western Huang.
That should heal me.
Bai Fenglin,
you colluded with the Merfolk
and leaked military intelligence.
Do you have anything to say
in your defense?
I admit my guilt.
Bai Fenglin committed treason
and betrayed the country.
His crime is unforgivable.
Throw him into the dungeon
to be executed in autumn.
Bai Jing'an shall be stripped
of his royal title
and be demoted to a commoner.
Bai Xuelu.
Your Majesty,
Bai Xuelu is my future bride.
She may be Bai Fenglin's younger sister.
But she's not associated with him.
If she's implicated because of her clan,
I'm willing to take the punishment
on her behalf.
Take the punishment on her behalf?
Are you willing to be demoted
and imprisoned in her place?
Yes.
I'm willing to share
any punishment sentenced to Xuelu.
Very well.
I shall grant your request.
Bai Xuelu,
you acted with great righteousness,
not showing favoritism to your clan.
I hereby bestow you
the title of White Queen.
I humbly accept your decree.
Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty.
I have
another request.
Let's hear it.
I would like to retrieve
my mother's memorial tablet
and bring it back
to White King's Residence.
Permission granted.
You may rise.
- Thank you, Your Majesty.
- Thank you, Your Majesty.
Your Majesty,
as a guilty subject,
I also wish to atone for my sins
and expose the traitors
within our country.
It was my foolishness
and eagerness for redemption
that led to my tragic mistake.
But there is someone
No,
to be precise, an entire clan
that has colluded with the Merfolk
and even sheltered the Sea Emperor
for two hundred years.
The Crimson King, Zhu Gaozhao
and Princess Zhu Yan
have committed heinous crimes
deserving of extermination.
During the war,
I extracted the portrait
of the Sea Emperor
from a captive
of the Merfolk marine force.
We sent someone to Extreme Wind City
to confirm his identity.
The Sea Emperor
is none other than Zhi Yuan,
the keeper of the Crimson Residence.
For two centuries,
he has been hiding
within the Crimson Residence,
having a close relationship
with Princess Zhu Yan.
This is known to all in Western Huang.
The evidence and witnesses are abundant.
I urge you to thoroughly investigate
the relationship
between the Merfolk marine force
and the Crimson Clan.
We must not foster a threat
within our midst.
(Extreme Wind City)
Master, look!
Yan'er,
look at that.
Yan'er,
you've lost so much weight.
Here.
This is your favorite milk pudding.
Eat more.
Thank you, Mother.
It's really delicious.
Mother,
you made this, right?
Home is still the best.
I really wish
I can keep staying by your side
and eat the food you cook.
Silly girl.
Why are you saying such silly things?
Don't you want to get married?
Your Highness,
please help yourself first.
I don't deserve this, Your Highness.
Your Highness,
my daughter has been under your care
for so many years.
This time, you even traveled a long way
to send her back to Extreme Wind City.
I'll drink this as a respect.
If Your Highness can't handle
the strong liquor of Western Huang,
I'll instruct them
to serve tea instead.
No need to trouble yourself.
When in Rome, do as the Romans do.
I'll drink it.
Shi Ying is not good at drinking.
Let me drink on his behalf.
Yan'er,
what are you doing?
Yan'er,
stop messing around.
I apologize on my daughter's behalf.
His Highness is a dignified prince.
How dare you address him by his name
and even snatch His Highness's drink.
That's too presumptuous.
Please have a seat, Crimson King.
It's my fortune that Yan'er helped me
out of a predicament.
She was not being presumptuous.
Please sit.
Yan'er and I share
the same affection for each other
and have experienced life
and death together.
Actually,
I've prepared a betrothal gift
according to the customs
of the Crimson Clan.
Crimson King.
Crimson Consort.
I request that Yan'er
be betrothed to me.
I do.
Your Highness,
Yan'er has been willful
because we've spoiled her
too much in the past.
If she has done anything wrong,
please let us know.
We'll discipline her strictly
and make sure she changes
all her bad habits before getting married.
Father.
Yan'er is fine just the way she is.
No need to change.
Yan'er
has been opposing
the arranged marriage we set for her.
As her mother,
I had my suspicions
that there must be someone
she deeply loves in her heart.
I never expected that person
to be Your Highness.
As parents,
our greatest wish
is for our daughter
to be safe and happy.
We're willing to entrust Yan'er to you.
May you protect her for a lifetime.
I'm willing to be with Yan'er
like the Gong and Shang Stars,
unwavering in this love,
never apart in this lifetime.
I'm willing to be with Shi Ying
like the Gong and Shang Stars,
unwavering in this love,
never apart
in this lifetime.
♪Whose longing has been stirred up♪
♪Unfinished fate and love
while passion has gone♪
♪Like a nightmare♪
♪Longing to meet again in dreams♪
You are the prince.
Don't we need to get approval
from His Majesty of our marriage?
As long as you agree,
no one can stop us
from being together.
♪When this life reaches its end♪
I wonder what our wedding feast
will be like.
As long as it's something you like,
I'll help you make it happen.
At that time, I want
to invite everyone
in Extreme Wind City
to come and celebrate.
After all,
they've watched me grow up.
All right.
I'll invite Xueying,
Shi Yu,
Qing Gang,
and Xuelu.
They probably didn't expect
that we would get married before them.
It's their fault for being so slow.
Yes,
it's their fault for being so slow.
We won't wait.
Then I'll also go to Yanfeng Restaurant
to discuss creating a menu
that suits you with Master Wu.
It's time for him to bring out
the 20-year-old Nv'erhong wine
he has been hiding.
Thank you for saving Sumo, my lord.
Can you tell me
when Sumo will awaken?
This child
is indeed the one
you've been waiting for.
However, it's not the time
for his awakening.
Once he returns to the Biluo Sea,
I'll also enter a long period of hibernation,
to wait for his awakening
seventy years later.
When the Sea Emperor returns,
the God of Dragon awakens.
When the God of Dragon awakens,
Biluo Sea will purge.
Unfortunately, it's not the time
for the fate of the Merfolk
to be fulfilled.
Yuan,
I've finally found happiness.
You'll wish me well,
right?
Yuan.
Did you send me your wishes
because you heard my voice?
(Why is the Evil Star shining again?)
(Could it be that the Sea Emperor
is still alive?)
The Merfolk marine force
may be in disorder.
But you're still the Sea Emperor
they've been waiting
for seven thousand years.
The Merfolk
will naturally obey you.
If you've made up your mind,
there's nothing
that you can't accomplish.
Unless
you're not the Sea Emperor at all.
Could it be that Zhi Yuan
is not the Sea Emperor?
He only schemed
to protect the true ruler of the Merfolk.
Step back! Step back!
Everyone, clear the way!
Drop your weapons!
The Crimson Clan
betrayed the grace of the Emperor,
acted rebelliously and recklessly,
and colluded with the Merfolk marine force
to hide the Sea Emperor, Zhi Yuan,
within the residence.
They are guilty of treason
and committed immeasurable crimes.
In the Battle of Zhaoyun Crossing,
the traitor Zhu Gaozhao
of the Crimson Clan,
together with his daughter Zhu Yan,
conspired against Kongsang
and colluded with the Merfolk.
Such intention deserves to be punished.
Azure King, Qing Gang
will escort the entire members
of Crimson Residence
to Jialan into custody
for further investigation.
By the order of the Emperor.
It's my fault
for implicating both of you.
It is true that Zhi Yuan once served
as a keeper in the Crimson Residence.
But no one among our clansmen knew
of his identity as the Sea Emperor.
He returned
to the Merfolk marine force only
after being expelled
from the Crimson Residence.
During his time in Extreme Wind City,
he had no contact with the Merfolk.
As for the incident at Zhaoyun Crossing,
it was my own decision,
unrelated to the Crimson Clan.
If Zhi Yuan is indeed the Sea Emperor,
as the Crimson King,
I can't shirk my responsibility.
Zhu Yan was young and naive,
deceived by wicked people.
Any blame or punishment
should fall solely on me.
Father.
What a loving father
and dutiful daughter.
Unfortunately,
this is a crime deserving
of the extermination of the entire clans.
The imperial decree clearly states
that the entire Crimson Clan
must be taken into custody
for investigation.
Guards.
- Yes.
- Yes.
Arrest her!
Yan'er.
Stop!
Your Highness.
Your Highness,
why are you here?
You have no authority
to pass any verdict
on behalf of His Majesty.
During their journey to Jialan,
they should not be harmed.
Of course, Your Highness.
Crimson King, Crimson Consort, please rise.
Yan'er.
Yan'er,
I'll personally explain the truth
to His Majesty.
Wait for me.
(Memerial Tablet of Late Mother, Xizhu)
Mother,
I've brought you back
to the White Queen's Residence
in a dignified manner.
It's all right
if that man doesn't acknowledge you.
From now on,
the descendants of the White Clan
will all pay their respects to you.
The father and son brought this
upon themselves.
Their titles have been stripped off
and I have succeeded as the White Queen.
I'll be taking over the army.
Please protect me from heaven.
Your Majesty.
Ying,
let me take a good look at you.
You have finally returned.
I have wronged you
and your mother.
Your Majesty,
I have come
to discuss the matter
of Crimson Residence.
Back then, you wronged me and Mother.
Now, please don't make the same mistake
with Crimson Residence.
I already knew.
How could I not know
that the Princess of Crimson Clan
is someone you love?
You were willing to face
the Tribulations of Hell for her.
But the collusion
between Crimson Clan and Sea Emperor
has been widely discussed
both inside and outside the court,
and the evidence is overwhelming.
I can show leniency because of you.
But I can't spare the entire Crimson Clan.
Ying,
I promise
to spare Zhu Yan's life
alone.
Your Majesty,
do you think
everyone in the world
judges right from wrong
solely on emotions as you do?
If that were the case,
Zhu Yan wouldn't have to
surrender herself.
With her current strength,
she could easily take
the entire Crimson Residence and flee.
Forget about the dungeon,
there are only a few
in the entire Yunhuang
who can be her match.
The Merfolk leader Zhi Yuan,
who was present
during the siege of Ye City,
did serve as a keeper
in Crimson Residence.
But
he left Crimson Residence
before returning to the Merfolk.
Zhi Yuan has been attempting
to quell the conflict
between the Kongsang Army
and the Merfolk marine force,
and he was the one who signed
the ceasefire agreement with me.
In the end,
he even sacrificed
his life for the sake of peace.
Ying,
these are only your words.
It'll be hard to convince the mass.
Moreover, your relationship with Zhu Yan
is very close.
I'm guilty.
But I'm willing to guarantee it
with my life.
I'm only asking for a half-month period.
Your Highness, Princess Zhu Yan is here.
Yan'er,
you have suffered.
It's all right.
I'll personally explain
Yuan being the Sea Emperor
to His Majesty.
If he insists on the punishment,
I'll bear it alone.
During the fight
at Xinghaiyun Pleasure House,
Zhi Yuan had already made up his mind
to sacrifice himself for a just cause.
While I know he has a noble character,
I had a mission that day.
I
I understand.
You and Zhi Yuan
are the protectors of Kongsang
and the Sea Kingdom.
It's your responsibility.
At that time,
I oversimplified things.
But Zhi Yuan
was not the Sea Emperor at all.
Look,
the Evil Star has appeared again.
And that day,
I mistakenly killed an innocent person.
Yuan was not the Sea Emperor?
Someone else is the Sea Emperor?
But now, you no longer have any power.
I won't go after
the Sea Emperor's life anymore.
Even one person's life
can be influenced by countless forces.
Let alone the fate of a country.
Yan'er,
according to the prophecy,
you are the cursed lady for me.
But in the end,
you also saved me.
It shows
that everything is within our control.
You're right.
Since we were able
to change destiny once,
then we can change it countless times.
With you by my side,
I fear nothing.
I refuse to believe that Kongsang
and the Sea Kingdom
cannot coexist peacefully.
I'm sure the person Zhi Yuan
sacrificed himself to protect
is not an evil person
who will cause bloodshed in Kongsang.
Yan'er,
I've obtained a half-month time
from His Majesty.
Let's go to Cangwu Abyss
to meet the God of Dragon.
Perhaps the God of Dragon
can help us.
All right.
The two divine rings
are now under my control.
With the combined power
of the dual rings,
I'll destroy the world!
I can use
the power of the world
to instantly annihilate
the entire Yunhuang.
Then
I'll lead all of you
to establish a new Yunhuang
on this wasteland.
My Lord, we pledge our lives
to follow you!
In this lifetime,
without regrets or hesitations.
May this mountain and sea
be boundless.
In this lifetime,
without regrets or hesitations.
May this mountain and sea
be boundless.
In this lifetime,
without regrets or hesitations.
My Lord,
has there been a flaw in our plan?
Dragon Soul Seal!
This is Dragon Soul Seal!
Bai Wei!
Darn you, Bai Wei!
You were worried the rings
will fall into my hands.
So you cast a seal
on Houtu!
My Lord, what should we do now?
Now,
we need the blood of the Sea Emperor
to break the Dragon Soul Seal
to release its power
to destroy the world.
Bai Wei thought
the Sea Emperor was dead.
But she didn't expect
that after seven thousand years,
the Sea Emperor would appear
in Kongsang.
Look at this.
The Evil Star is telling me
the whereabouts of the Sea Emperor.
No one can stop me
from destroying Yunhuang!
- Congratulations. My Lord!
- Congratulations. My Lord!
God of Dragon,
Shi Ying and Zhu Yan of Kongsang
request an audience.
How dare you come here again?
Aren't you afraid of death?
God of Dragon,
the Evil Star has reappeared
in the night sky.
It means the Sea Emperor is not dead
and is still within Kongsang's border.
Do you think you can threaten me
with the Sea Emperor?
But the Menghua Dynasty
will still perish in seventy years.
God of Dragon,
we did not come here
to uncover the truth
about the Sea Emperor.
The incident of mistakenly
killing Zhi Yuan
made me understand
that prophecies are nothing
but hopes in people's hearts.
They cannot determine
the fate of a nation.
If the ruler is virtuous and wise,
the country and its people will prosper.
No one can shake
the foundation of Kongsang at all.
If the ruler is corrupt and oppressive,
the people will suffer.
And even if it's not the Sea Emperor,
there will be others
who'll rise in rebellion.
Since you didn't come
for the Sea Emperor,
what do you seek?
God of Dragon,
nothing in this world
can escape your eyes.
You have long known everything
that Yuan sacrificed for the Merfolk.
Now he is accused
of colluding with the Crimson Clan.
Neither Yuan
nor the Crimson Clan
should bear such accusations.
We seek the truth from you.
You have actually come
to ask me to save the people
of Kongsang.
Seven thousand years ago,
Empress Bai Wei
fought for the sake of the Sea Kingdom
and prevented the tragedy
of the Merfolk's destruction.
Two hundred years ago,
Princess Chizhu Feili advocated
for a ceasefire
for someone she loved,
bringing peace between the two clans.
Just a month ago,
Zhi Yuan and Yan'er
risked their lives multiple times
to prevent the massacre of both clans.
The mountains and rivers of Yunhuang
nurture countless lives,
and all things have spirits.
For thousands of years,
Kongsang and the Merfolk
have had trade and friendly relations.
There is no distinction between us.
Therefore,
I implore the God of Dragon
to proclaim to the world
the innocence of Zhi Yuan
and the Crimson Clan.
Why don't you
let Zhi Yuan speak up for himself?
Zhi Yuan is not dead yet.
How is that possible?
On that day
at Xinghaiyun Pleasure House,
I clearly
Yuan is not dead yet.
How is this possible?
The Sea Kingdom still needs him.
So I planted the Dragon's Breath
in him long ago.
Zhi Yuan.
That's why
even though you injured
Zhi Yuan's essence
at Xinghaiyun Pleasure House,
he did not perish
because of my Dragon's Breath.
Instead, he was transported
to a safe place.
Where is he now?
The one who tied the knot must untie it.
It was the people of Kongsang
who caused him
to fall into a deep sleep.
It is also you
who can awaken him.
Use the techniques I taught you
to remove his seal.
With my power,
summon him back to life.
Have I succeeded?
Yuan.
Yuan.
Yao Yi,
is this us meeting in heaven?
No.
Yuan,
you're not dead.
Priest of Grand Preceptor?
Priest of Grand Preceptor.
I've long returned to the mortal world.
I'm no longer
the Priest of Grand Preceptor of Jiuyi.
Shi Ying.
Princess.
Congratulations to both of you,
for your love
has finally come to fruition.
But Shi Ying,
why did you spare me,
the Sea Emperor?
It was God of Dragon
who planted the Dragon's Breath in you,
protecting your soul.
And he also informed us that you're here.
Moreover, you were never meant to die.
The true Sea Emperor
is someone else,
isn't it?
Yuan,
don't worry.
Shi Ying has no intention
of bringing harm to the Sea Emperor.
After experiencing life and death,
we have already seen
through the prophecy.
Things are in our hands.
There is nothing in this world
that cannot be reversed.
Are you truly willing
to let go of the Sea Emperor?
Trying to escape?
Let me kill you,
hypocritical Merfolk!
Don't harm the child.
So the Sea Emperor
is really the child
you were holding in Ye City?
He was unconscious
and lost his mother.
Unconscious
and lost his mother?
Sumo?
It's Sumo, right?
So the child's name is Sumo.
Yan'er,
think carefully.
That child is no ordinary Merfolk.
That's right.
He can merge
with the Dragon Blood Jade
Yuan gave to me.
Sumo.
So Sumo is the Sea Emperor.
We need to find Sumo immediately.
I believe
he has been hiding
near the Cangwu Abyss, right?
Shi Ying,
didn't you say
you no longer believe
in the Evil Star thing?
I won't harm anyone anymore
because of that prophecy.
It's just that this child
is important to you, Yan'er,
the Merfolk,
and the people of Kongsang.
I want to see him return
to the Biluo Sea myself.
You're right.
Even if you're willing to spare him,
it will inevitably lead
to another bloodbath
if someone with ill intentions
discovers him,
and figures out
the Evil Star has returned,
and the Sea Emperor
is still in Kongsang.
So
according to the God of Dragon,
Yuan needs to do something
for the Merfolk marine force.
This matter is related to Sumo.
What day is it today?
It's a leap day.
We must hurry
to the Huangquan Waterfall.
Or else it'll be too late.
Ruyi.
Lord Zhi?
Are you all right?
Are you here to pick us up?
Sumo.
Lord Zhi,
why did you bring
two Kongsang people here?
Ruyi,
don't you remember me?
I'm Zhu Yan.
Yuan is not just Lord Zhi,
but your
Princess,
I'll explain everything
to Ruyi slowly in the future.
Shi Ying,
do you have a way
to restore Sumo's consciousness?
He has been put
under the Dream Alteration Spell.
That's why he's in this deep sleep.
Zhi Yuan, as the descendant
of the Dragon Clan,
you're able to undo the dream.
Meanwhile,
Yan'er will protect his heart pulse.
Sumo should be able to wake up
without any backlash.
That's great.
Sumo is finally saved.
But
he has been under the spell
for too long.
And we don't know
the specifics of the altered dream.
Elder Jian's suggestions to him
are deeply rooted.
It may be difficult for us
to completely uproot them.
In the future,
if he suffered another blow,
there may be relapses.
As long as Sumo can wake up,
Ruyi and I will guide
and influence him slowly.
He'll surely get better.
We shouldn't delay any longer.
Zhi Yuan,
undo the Dream Alteration Spell for him.
Yan'er,
remember these hand gestures.
All right.
I've memorized them.
Sumo.
Uncle Yuan.
What is this place?
Sumo.
Sister?
Sumo!
No.
You abandoned me.
You don't want me anymore.
I hate you!
I hate you!
Sumo.
I hate you!
I've been looking for you all along.
You abandoned me!
I missed you.
I hate you!
I missed you, Sumo.
I hate you.
Sumo.
I'm sorry, Sumo.
I'm sorry.
There, there.
It's all right now.
I'm sorry.
It's all my fault.
I'm sorry.
I'm glad you're okay.
Princess,
they should go home now.
That's great.
We can finally return to the Biluo Sea.
Only on a leap day
can the bloodline of the Sea Emperor
resonate with the God of Dragon,
briefly opening a pathway
to the Biluo Sea.
If he doesn't go this time,
we'll have to wait
for several more years.
Undue delay may bring troubles.
Come on, let's go home.
Sumo.
Lord Zhi,
what about you?
Aren't you going home with us?
I have to return to Jialan
to give Kongsang an explanation.
I'll find a way
to return to the Biluo Sea to see you.
Don't worry about me.
Uncle Yuan,
I'm going now.
Sister.
Sumo.
Promise me
to listen to Ruyi
and don't be deceived by bad people.
There are still many good people
like me in Kongsang.
As long as we are all alive,
we will meet again someday.
When you grow up,
come find me.
Okay?
It's a promise.
You must live a long life.
Okay.
I want to see you all grown up.
You must also grow up safely.
Let's go.
Yuan!
Yuan!
Yuan!
Yan'er.
I am Xuyao.
Xuyao?
Isn't that one of the ancient Gods?
The God of Destruction,
opposing the God of Creation.
Why did he
enter Yuan's body?
I sense this aura
somewhere before.
Was it Diba or
It's your fault
that I lose the Sea Emperor's blood.
But this descendant
of the Dragon Blood is not bad.
With him around,
why worry about controlling
the future Sea Emperor?
So you were
the one controlling Xingzun back then.
Why do you need
the Sea Emperor's blood?
Stop struggling.
You're no match for me.
You have nothing left in Kongsang
and no attachment to the mortal world.
Why waste your effort fighting me?
No.
I have someone I care about.
I won't be defeated by you.
Do you think Zhu Yan
is the reincarnation of Chizhu Feili?
You're dreaming.
Zhi Yuan,
face your inner desires.
It was Zhu Yan
who caused Yao Yi's death.
She destroyed
Yao Yi's remaining consciousness.
Let her pay the price.
Turn Zhu Yan into Yao Yi.
As a descendant of the Dragon Blood,
only you can take me
to the Biluo Sea.
Let's make a deal.
You help me find the Sea Emperor.
Then I'll fulfill your wish.
Yuan.
No!
He's not Zhi Yuan.
Xuyao has taken over his body.
Yao Yi,
come here.
What did you call me?
I'm Zhu Yan,
not Yao Yi.
From now on,
you will be my Yao Yi.
Xuyao is skilled
at exploiting the darkest
and most selfish desires
of the original host
for his own benefit.
Back then,
he used Emperor Xingzun's feelings
for Empress Bai Wei.
And now he's using Zhi Yuan's obsession
with Yao Yi.
Yao Yi,
where do you think
you're going with this man
after abandoning me?
Can you escape from my grasp?
Why not
experience my newfound power?
Shi Ying!
Shi Ying!
Shi Ying.
Stop it.
Shi Ying.
Let her go.
Shi Ying!
Stop it.
You can't harm him.
Shi Ying.
Shi Ying.
From now on,
there is only one king in Yunhuang.
There can only be one person
in your heart,
and that's me.
Shi Ying.
As for him,
he'll be treated
anyhow I want.
Shi Ying.
No!
Stop it!
Shi Ying.
How about it, Shi Ying?
Do you admit defeat?
If you admit now that she is mine,
I can spare your life.
Shi Ying.
No.
Shi Ying.
The Yao Yi you loved
died two hundred years ago.
Yan'er isn't her!
Stop it!
No!
Shi Ying.
He's doomed.
No!
Yuan,
I'm willing to become Yao Yi.
From now on,
I'll be your Yao Yi.
Wu Gu,
prepare the wedding ceremony for us.
Shi Ying!
This waterway
is filled with
countless hidden currents and passages.
For centuries, countless lost souls
have wandered here,
never finding their way out,
forever trapped in despair.
Yao Yi,
no one can find us here.
We've arrived at our new home.
(It turns out)
(my great-great-grandmother)
(and I look so similar.)
(Her bead coincidentally
recognized me that day.)
(No wonder Yuan was so fixated on)
(mistaking me for her.)
Yao Yi,
this is the belated wedding ceremony
I have prepared for you
that's two hundred years late.
What?
Getting married?
Why?
Are you not happy with it?
Well,
don't you think
it's a little bit too rushed?
Rushed?
You want to be my Yao Yi.
But you think it's too rushed?
At this moment,
are you truly willing to be my Yao Yi?
Yuan.
Of course, I am sincere.
It's just that marriage
is a significant event in life.
I need to inform my parents.
In the previous life,
everyone believed
that Merfolk was not suitable to be
with Kongsang people.
But now,
no one can stop me.
I won't care about anyone's opinions.
But I'm a girl.
Naturally, I hope
the wedding will be lively and festive.
Are you just trying to deceive me,
using this as an opportunity
to delay and escape,
aren't you?
Let me go.
You're my Yao Yi.
I won't let you go anymore.
- I want to have you now.
- Let me go!
Let me go!
Zhi Yuan, what do you want to do?
You hurt me!
Yao Yi?
Yao Yi,
are you all right?
I didn't mean to hurt you.
I was too eager.
After two hundred years,
we can finally be together.
Yuan,
why don't
you tell me
about your relationship with Yao Yi?
It will help me
to be a better Yao Yi for you.
And then
we can get married.
Okay.
This eyebrow shape
is Yao Yi's favorite.
Look,
two of us in the mirror.
Don't we look perfect together?
(It's raining so heavily.)
(And Shi Ying is seriously injured.)
(I have to find a way to escape.)
What are you thinking?
I
I was just thinking
that after two hundred years,
you still remember
how to draw this eyebrow shape.
Your memory is remarkable.
Of course, I remember
every detail of Yao Yi.
In the future,
you should remember them all too.
Yuan,
now you won't even
let me touch your reverse scale anymore?
Is there no place
for me in your heart anymore?
Yuan.
My head hurts.
Although your feelings for me
are not as deep as those
for my great-great-grandmother,
they are still precious to me.
You're the Keeper Yuan
who watched me grow up.
You accompanied me,
protected me,
and understood me,
like a father and an older brother.
Like a father and an older brother.
Like a father and an older brother.
Don't you cherish this bond too?
That's why
when you mistook me
for Yao Yi's reincarnation,
you didn't say anything
and faced everything alone.
You're equally important to me.
I want to keep Yan'er safe.
I want Yao Yi to come back.
Yuan.
I want to keep Yan'er safe.
Yuan.
Yuan.
I want to keep Yan'er safe.
Yuan.
I'll come back and save you
after I find a solution.
Yuan.
I want to keep Yan'er safe.
I'll come back to rescue you
after I find a way.
I want Yao Yi to come back!
As expected, it's not that easy.
With my thoughts,
search for my desire.
Set off.
This is my Ice Clan's
ultimate formation.
You can't escape.
Yan'er,
you've been lying to me all along.
I accidentally fell into
your trap earlier.
But
how could I bear
to let Yao Yi,
who is about to be in my grasp,
slip away?
I can't bring myself to tell you.
Everything you do will be in vain.
Shi Ying has lost all his power
and I gave him a fatal blow.
I'm afraid
his vital organs are consumed by inner fire,
and nerves and blood vessels are severed.
Just like this.
See that, right?
So what's the use if you found him?
Wu Gu,
why don't you
go and collect Shi Ying's corpse?
If he miraculously
survives,
kill that useless person for me.
Yes.
Yuan,
when did you become
such a monster?
Now let me tell you
how to become Yao Yi.
Since you refuse to accept my goodwill,
don't blame me for forcing you.
How do you feel
about wearing Yao Yi's clothes,
smelling her favorite fragrance,
and drinking her favorite wine?
Do you feel like
you're becoming Yao Yi?
I have lost
my sense of taste and smell.
I can't smell the fragrance,
nor taste the flavor.
Your efforts are in vain.
The one who loves you is Yao Yi,
not me.
You forced me to marry you.
You're only marrying a shell
without a soul.
No, no, no.
From now on,
you will become my Yao Yi.
What are you planning to do?
I want to transform you into Yao Yi.
You actually want to turn me
into someone else?
Are you insane?
Zhu Yan,
didn't you lose
your sense of taste and smell?
Now, by transforming you
into someone else,
won't your senses come back?
Then
you can enjoy
everything in this world with me.
Let go of me.
I don't want this.
I am Zhu Yan.
I don't want to become anyone else!
Supreme power, fulfill my wish.
From now on,
you'll forget your identity as Zhu Yan
and live
as Yao Yi.
I am Chizhu Feili,
the leader of Extreme Wind City.
You can also call me Yao Yi.
Good.
Now that you have accepted me
as your master,
you should remember my teachings.
Yuan,
have you undergone a transformation?
Wait for my return.
I will wait for your rebirth.
Yan'er!
What did you do to Yan'er?
You actually regained your power.
Pushed to the brink of death
and then reborn, huh?
Let Yan'er go!
Yan'er?
Who's Yan'er?
She has already become my Yao Yi.
You've come for me.
Yan'er.
If heaven won't take your life,
then let me kill you.
That way,
you won't have to think about anything
and will forever be my Yao Yi.
Yan'er.
Yan'er?
Yan'er,
did I hurt you?
It's impossible.
This can't be.
Yan'er!
Impossible.
Yan'er.
That's impossible.
I couldn't have hurt Yan'er.
This is impossible.
I would never harm Yan'er.
Yan'er, are you all right?
Yuan,
are you more clear-headed now?
Yan'er,
I
Yuan.
You two, leave now.
Go now!
Yan'er, are you okay?
I'm fine.
It's just that Xuyao
tried to turn me into Yao Yi.
Luckily, you arrived in time
and interrupted the spell.
Don't worry.
I'll be fine.
Look, I look perfectly fine
in front of you.
If you feel something's wrong,
you must let me know.
What about you?
Xuyao said
your organs are consumed by inner fire,
and your nerves
and blood vessels are severed.
That should have happened.
But
in the face of death,
I felt the power of your fire crane.
That was how I managed to hold on.
The heavenly thunder
opened up my meridians
and helped me restore the power
that I had lost.
But I never expected
Xuyao to completely transform Yuan
into someone else.
Xuyao now
controls the two divine rings.
Given time,
his ability to manipulate people's hearts
will only grow stronger.
Eventually,
he can even command the army
at his will.
Army?
That's right.
What's even more terrifying is that
if Xuyao finds the Sea Emperor
through Zhi Yuan,
he can unlock
the seal on the rings
and absorb the power of the world
to destroy Yunhuang.
So we must not leave the rings
in Xuyao's hands.
We must find a way to retrieve them.
But Yuan is practically immortal now.
We can't defeat him.
Besides,
we don't have
the incantation to control the rings.
So we can't summon them.
Yan'er.
Zhi Yuan's current strength
won't be able
to withstand Xuyao for long.
So
we need to leave this place
as soon as possible
and return to Jialan to find a solution.
This catastrophe
affects the entire world.
Yunhuang
will be engulfed in the flames of war.
