**[00:31] ---**
What's this?!
**[00:35] ---**
Fu Yao! Use fire to block it!
**[00:48] ---**
Thank you.
**[00:54] ---**
You still claim these snakes
don't obey you anymore, huh?
**[00:57] ---**
If you're not the one controlling them,
then why didn't they attack you?
**[01:01] ---**
Maybe you were just unlucky?
They didn't attack us, either.
**[01:06] ---**
Is that so?
**[01:09] ---**
Fu Yao, don't get angry.
**[01:11] ---**
First, we need to figure out
what's happening with these snakes.
**[01:15] ---**
"What's happening with the snakes"?
**[01:17] ---**
Either the Grand Preceptor lied to us,
or this friend of yours set us up!
**[01:21] ---**
I think they have nothing to do with it.
**[01:24] ---**
Your Highness, don't pretend
you don't understand!
**[01:28] ---**
Do you remember who you actually are?
**[01:30] ---**
This thing by your side--
I think you know full well what it is!
**[01:38] ---**
I know who I am better than anyone.
**[01:42] ---**
Then how dare you stand by him?
**[01:45] ---**
Because there aren't
any snakes next to him.
**[01:51] ---**
You!
**[02:03] ---**
Don't move.
They don't dare come this way.
**[02:09] ---**
San Lang...
**[02:10] ---**
Don't worry, he'll survive.
**[02:17] ---**
Fu Yao, can you light more fires?
Why don't you light some more?
**[02:23] ---**
I can't!
**[02:24] ---**
That thing by your side
is blocking my magic!
**[02:28] ---**
It's not me.
**[02:29] ---**
I know, and that makes
things even stranger.
**[02:32] ---**
Half-Moon and Millstone are bound
and can't cast any spells,
**[02:35] ---**
and I'm out of magic, too...
**[02:39] ---**
What if... there's someone else
here in the pit with us?
**[02:42] ---**
Impossible!
**[02:44] ---**
No one else has jumped in.
Who else could be here?
**[02:46] ---**
Who's there?!
**[02:47] ---**
What's wrong, Half-Moon?
**[02:50] ---**
Is someone over there with you?
**[02:51] ---**
There was someone...
**[02:53] ---**
Half-Moon?!
**[02:54] ---**
Watch out for her tricks!
**[02:56] ---**
Let's try to save her first!
**[03:00] ---**
All right!
**[03:15] ---**
Huh?
**[03:16] ---**
There does seem to be
a sixth person. Interesting.
**[03:19] ---**
Wait, Lian. I'll deal with him.
**[03:36] ---**
Don't worry, stay calm.
**[03:39] ---**
Half-Moon, are you awake?
Can you answer me?
**[03:45] ---**
Maybe she's the one you're fighting!
**[03:47] ---**
It can't be Half-Moon.
**[03:49] ---**
She is a small woman.
**[03:51] ---**
Brute force and weapons are not her style.
**[03:56] ---**
But that was quite a blow just now.
Who on earth are we dealing with?
**[04:01] ---**
When did they come here?
**[04:02] ---**
Traitors like her and
Xuan Ji are all the same.
**[04:04] ---**
Why do you believe her?
**[04:08] ---**
Fu Yao, what did you just say?
**[04:10] ---**
I said, why do you believe her?
**[04:13] ---**
No, before that!
**[04:14] ---**
You mentioned Xuan Ji, right?
**[04:17] ---**
So what? It's unrelated!
**[04:21] ---**
I know what happened!
**[04:23] ---**
What?
**[04:24] ---**
Drop the act! I know who you are.
**[04:34] ---**
General Pei the Younger,
do you think I'm joking?
**[04:38] ---**
Are you mad? What does
General Pei have to do with this?
**[04:44] ---**
I should have seen it earlier.
**[04:46] ---**
For the past two centuries,
**[04:49] ---**
heaven has studiously ignored
the unrest in Half-Moon Kingdom.
**[04:51] ---**
I'm sure someone has been
trying to sweep it under the rug.
**[04:55] ---**
Fu Yao, you brought up Xuan Ji.
This isn't related to Half-Moon Kingdom--
**[04:59] ---**
but she reminded me of the Generals.
**[05:03] ---**
As for General Pei the Younger...
**[05:04] ---**
Pei the Younger ascended
only a few hundred years ago.
**[05:06] ---**
He had just turned 20
when he was promoted by General Pei.
**[05:10] ---**
He is quite a nuisance,
just like his forefather.
**[05:13] ---**
Do you know what he was
doing before he ascended?
**[05:16] ---**
Massacring entire cities.
**[05:18] ---**
Which cities did he wipe out?
**[05:22] ---**
Do you mean...?
**[05:24] ---**
Rumor has it that the Grand Preceptor
would sic her snakes on people
**[05:26] ---**
and feed them, live,
to the ghost soldiers.
**[05:29] ---**
But Half-Moon said...
**[05:30] ---**
I didn't send the snakes.
They disobeyed me and escaped.
**[05:35] ---**
General Hua, that's the truth!
**[05:37] ---**
Millstone is terrified of snakes,
so it couldn't have been him.
**[05:41] ---**
Who could have sent them? And why?
**[05:46] ---**
Ever since Half-Moon Kingdom fell,
plunging the population into misery,
**[05:49] ---**
the spirits of the deceased have
been harboring resentment.
**[05:51] ---**
And so, to cover up the truth...
General Pei fed people to the ghosts?!
**[05:55] ---**
Impossible!
**[05:56] ---**
Everyone would have seen
a god like him coming down here!
**[06:02] ---**
What if it wasn't really him?
**[06:04] ---**
Huh?
**[06:05] ---**
For years, I had never seen a single
scorpion-tailed snake in the Kingdom.
**[06:08] ---**
Yet these merchants were
attacked by a swarm of snakes
**[06:13] ---**
in the first cave they found.
What are the odds?
**[06:18] ---**
We only found Half-Moon
Kingdom thanks to a guide.
**[06:21] ---**
How did the merchants get here so fast?
**[06:25] ---**
When the Half-Buried Face said he
had met one of us fifty or so years ago,
**[06:30] ---**
I thought he was lying just to
lure us into coming close to him.
**[06:32] ---**
On second thought,
what if he was telling the truth?
**[06:39] ---**
A local guide took us.
He helped us go around the quicksand.
**[06:43] ---**
As soon as the wind picked up,
he took us and told us to hide here.
**[06:46] ---**
Isn't that right, Zhao?
**[06:49] ---**
It's easy to get to the Half-Moon Kingdom,
we just need to walk in this direction.
**[06:56] ---**
I've seen one of you before...
Fifty or so years ago.
**[07:02] ---**
Just now, at the top of the Sinners' Pit,
**[07:04] ---**
I told you I would act if
something came to pass.
**[07:06] ---**
But you insisted on leaping in recklessly.
**[07:10] ---**
General Pei the Younger,
**[07:12] ---**
would you like to say anything in
defense of this suspicious behavior?
**[07:16] ---**
Or should I call you Zhao?
**[07:23] ---**
My magic's back!
**[07:32] ---**
Your Highness, did it ever occur to you
that the Half-Buried Face may have been
**[07:37] ---**
referring to this young man
in red next to you?
**[09:55] ---**
Who are you?
**[09:56] ---**
Hadn't you plunged to your death?
**[09:58] ---**
You haven't changed one bit
after all these years.
**[10:01] ---**
So it was you! Pei Xiu!
**[10:09] ---**
Get this off me!
He will pay for this!
**[10:11] ---**
General Pei, how did you learn to
control the scorpion-tailed snakes?
**[10:16] ---**
I... I have my ways.
**[10:19] ---**
Then how did you meet Half-Moon?
**[10:23] ---**
General Hua,
you still haven't recognized me.
**[10:40] ---**
It was you?!
**[10:41] ---**
It was me.
**[10:46] ---**
Half-Moon, were you refusing
to talk because of him?
**[10:51] ---**
Did he force you to open the gate?
**[10:54] ---**
She answers to me, so I don't
need to force her to do anything.
**[10:58] ---**
What is this about?
**[11:01] ---**
What else could this be about?!
**[11:03] ---**
You have no shame!
**[11:04] ---**
He was using Half-Moon,
collaborating with an insider!
**[11:07] ---**
They massacred my people
and laid waste to my country!
**[11:11] ---**
Is that true, General Pei?
**[11:16] ---**
What an unusual way for
the heavenly officials to act.
**[11:20] ---**
You live and learn.
**[11:22] ---**
No!
**[11:29] ---**
You don't understand!
It was my own choice.
**[11:33] ---**
Everything is my fault.
**[11:40] ---**
What happened? Be straight with us!
**[11:48] ---**
Actually, I-I...
**[11:53] ---**
You mixed-blood! Get out of here!
**[11:56] ---**
Out!
**[12:17] ---**
Are you all right? Were the
Half-Moon kids bullying you again?
**[12:29] ---**
Unbelievable!
**[12:31] ---**
One day, I will run them
out of the kingdom!
**[12:35] ---**
But I am Half-Moon myself.
**[12:39] ---**
If they bully you again, fight back.
**[12:43] ---**
But General Hua said...
**[12:45] ---**
General Hua?
**[12:49] ---**
General Hua!
**[12:59] ---**
General Hua!
**[13:05] ---**
General Hua!
**[13:30] ---**
General Millstone not only let
the mixed blood into the palace--
**[13:34] ---**
he also recommended her for
the position of Grand Preceptor!
**[13:36] ---**
How could he do such a thing?
**[13:38] ---**
Shhh! The war is about to start.
**[13:41] ---**
We should talk less
and rally our morale instead!
**[13:43] ---**
My Half-Moon brothers,
victory will be ours!
**[13:47] ---**
Let us destroy the Central Plains
and raze Yong An to the ground!
**[13:50] ---**
Yeah! Destroy the Central Plains;
raze Yong An to the ground!
**[13:54] ---**
General Millstone.
**[13:57] ---**
Do we have to fight?
**[13:58] ---**
Don't worry, Half-Moon Kingdom
has the most valiant soldiers.
**[14:02] ---**
You will see them return triumphant!
**[14:07] ---**
--Return triumphant! Victory is ours!
--Return triumphant! Victory is ours!
**[14:20] ---**
The war will be over soon,
**[14:22] ---**
putting an end to the
suffering on both sides.
**[14:27] ---**
I think this is what General Hua
would have wanted.
**[14:40] ---**
Those scoundrels from the Central Plains!
**[14:49] ---**
If our city falls tomorrow, we will
scatter and converge on Yong An!
**[14:53] ---**
We shall perish together!
**[15:00] ---**
What are we going to do?
**[15:02] ---**
There's a way... but whether
we use it or not is up to you.
**[15:11] ---**
The city gates are open!
Go in, kill them! Slaughter them all!
**[15:15] ---**
Kill them!
**[15:23] ---**
I'm sorry, I'm sorry...
**[15:28] ---**
I'm sorry!
**[15:30] ---**
Half-Moon!
**[15:33] ---**
It's all right, she's just worn out.
**[15:39] ---**
Let me go!
I'll fight and kill this villain!
**[15:43] ---**
First, you already died after
our battle 200 years ago.
**[15:47] ---**
Second, why do you call me a villain?
**[15:51] ---**
If you hadn't ganged up with Half-Moon,
we would never have lost!
**[15:57] ---**
Though I only had 2,000 men, I was going
to break through the gate sooner or later.
**[16:03] ---**
I didn't plan to massacre
the city residents,
**[16:05] ---**
but you brought it upon yourselves.
**[16:07] ---**
If you people from the Central Plains
hadn't surrounded us from all sides,
**[16:09] ---**
why would we have resorted
to taking you down with us?
**[16:14] ---**
Fine, then let's start from the beginning.
**[16:16] ---**
How often had the Half-Moon people
caused trouble at the border,
**[16:19] ---**
robbing caravans, massacring
civilians, and sheltering bandits?
**[16:22] ---**
It serves you right!
**[16:23] ---**
You occupied our territory,
so we had to fight back!
**[16:26] ---**
Our countries have always
been mired in border disputes,
**[16:28] ---**
so how can you just claim
the land as your own?
**[16:30] ---**
We had already agreed on the boundaries,
it was you who broke your promise!
**[16:32] ---**
You decided on them unilaterally.
**[16:34] ---**
Deserts for us, oases for you.
That's how you split things, huh?
**[16:38] ---**
Generations of Half-Moon people
had lived peacefully on the oases.
**[16:41] ---**
Of course they belonged to us!
**[16:45] ---**
See, arguing about this is pointless.
**[16:47] ---**
We just have to fight it out.
**[16:51] ---**
I agree with the first part.
**[16:53] ---**
And I agree with the second.
**[16:55] ---**
Pei Xiu, stop this farce.
**[16:57] ---**
You didn't massacre us
for the sake of your people!
**[17:03] ---**
Your forefathers had been exiled,
so you needed to win this battle in order
**[17:07] ---**
to get a foothold in Yong An
and climb your way up to the top.
**[17:10] ---**
Exiled?
**[17:12] ---**
I thought he was descended
from General Pei.
**[17:13] ---**
He's not a direct descendant--
he comes from one of the side branches.
**[17:18] ---**
If he hadn't ascended to heaven,
**[17:20] ---**
he wouldn't have enjoyed
the same privileges as his ancestor.
**[17:23] ---**
Who would have thought that someone
like you could take advantage of Half-Moon
**[17:26] ---**
and lead her to betray us!
**[17:28] ---**
She worked for me. Half-Moon
had infiltrated Half-Moon Kingdom.
**[17:32] ---**
There is some Yong An blood in her,
**[17:34] ---**
so of course she would
be loyal to Yong An.
**[17:36] ---**
You malicious Half-Moon people,
I have no regrets about killing you all!
**[17:41] ---**
No regrets, huh!
**[17:43] ---**
What about all these innocent
people languishing in this pit,
**[17:48] ---**
you don't regret killing them, either?
**[17:52] ---**
Who's there?
**[17:56] ---**
Watch out!
**[18:26] ---**
Nan Feng?
**[18:30] ---**
What happened?
**[18:31] ---**
Where are Tian Sheng and the others?
**[18:36] ---**
What happened to you?
**[18:38] ---**
Looks like he wasn't skilled enough
and took a beating from those two women.
**[18:42] ---**
Your Highness.
**[18:51] ---**
Hello, Master.
**[18:55] ---**
Wind Master.
**[18:57] ---**
She's the Wind Master?
**[18:59] ---**
Nan Feng, why didn't you say anything?
**[19:00] ---**
How was I supposed to know
she was the Wind Master?
**[19:02] ---**
Before, she was
obviously... Never mind.
**[19:08] ---**
Pei, are you the one who's
**[19:11] ---**
been luring people into Half-Moon
Pass for the last two centuries?
**[19:14] ---**
I am.
**[19:15] ---**
The restless souls are
evidence of your bloody deeds.
**[19:19] ---**
You didn't want them to get
in the way of your promotion,
**[19:22] ---**
so you fed them people to appease them.
**[19:26] ---**
This is no trivial matter...
**[19:32] ---**
Why didn't he just get rid of the spirits?
**[19:36] ---**
He couldn't.
**[19:37] ---**
Many eyes in heaven are watching.
**[19:39] ---**
That is why this can't
be done in the open.
**[19:42] ---**
He had to send Zhao,
his clone, instead of himself.
**[19:45] ---**
You lured people into the city,
let the snakes bite them,
**[19:48] ---**
and fed them to the angry spirits.
**[19:50] ---**
Killing people--
that's really crossing a line.
**[19:55] ---**
I know.
**[19:56] ---**
Good. Think about it some more,
and we can talk about it after we go back.
**[20:02] ---**
Your Highness, I'm terribly sorry.
**[20:05] ---**
The sandstorm in which you found
yourselves--I was the one who started it.
**[20:07] ---**
What?
**[20:15] ---**
So it was you?
**[20:17] ---**
I wanted you to stay away
from Half-Moon Kingdom.
**[20:19] ---**
But you found it anyway.
**[20:22] ---**
Your Highness, please don't ask
about this affair again.
**[20:28] ---**
The heavenly officials
have quite a social circle.
**[20:30] ---**
If Wind Master takes
Half-Moon up with her,
**[20:32] ---**
it would take just one word for someone
to blame her for Pei Xiu's crime.
**[20:41] ---**
I have been handling this situation.
How could I let it go now?
**[20:45] ---**
Your Highness, don't worry.
We know all about the case up there.
**[20:51] ---**
Though the Grand Preceptor is
a Wrath, she hasn't hurt anyone.
**[20:53] ---**
She locked in the Half-Moon soldiers
with her magic formation
**[20:58] ---**
and set the merchants free.
**[21:01] ---**
Half-Moon set Tian Sheng
and the others free?
**[21:04] ---**
We will only take Millstone and
General Pei the Younger with us.
**[21:08] ---**
Sorry for being so suspicious.
**[21:12] ---**
I don't blame you.
Heaven's way of doing things isn't ideal.
**[21:15] ---**
Are you done? Can we go now?
**[21:19] ---**
What's the rush?
I'm going to take my time.
**[21:23] ---**
Your Highness, if that is all, I will go.
We will see each other up in heaven.
**[21:30] ---**
See you there.
**[21:34] ---**
Let's go.
**[21:56] ---**
We have been exiled.
We've lost everything.
**[21:58] ---**
I have a young child, please let us go!
**[22:07] ---**
Why don't you fight back?
The Half-Moon people have gone too far!
**[22:18] ---**
The Half-Moon people have attacked
our border, harassed our people!
**[22:22] ---**
Kill the Half-Moon wretches;
restore peace on the border!
**[22:27] ---**
That's right!
**[22:29] ---**
Now I will assign you to a position.
You, squadron on the left!
**[22:33] ---**
You, squadron on the right!
As for you...
**[22:36] ---**
Officer, why wasn't I assigned a position?
**[22:39] ---**
The military also considers
your family background.
**[22:42] ---**
You'll need to work twice as hard
if you want to catch up to your peers.
**[22:53] ---**
What a beautiful victory!
**[22:55] ---**
Pei killed the most enemy soldiers.
A promotion surely awaits him!
**[22:58] ---**
Pei, we will follow you
and slaughter them all!
**[23:01] ---**
Your career is about to take off.
**[23:02] ---**
But I heard it wasn't Pei...
**[23:04] ---**
What?!
**[23:10] ---**
Starting today,
I will serve as your Deputy Lieutenant.
**[23:15] ---**
That's no surprise.
**[23:17] ---**
His father is an imperial official.
Surely, he will work his way up.
**[23:20] ---**
You, however, are doomed
by your family background,
**[23:25] ---**
unless you are lucky and
score a major military victory.
**[23:45] ---**
Things turned out exactly
as Pei had planned.
**[23:46] ---**
The Half-Moon soldiers
walked right into our trap!
**[23:47] ---**
We won again!
**[23:49] ---**
If we continue to win,
**[23:50] ---**
Pei will certainly edge out the guy
who got in through connections.
**[23:52] ---**
True! It was all thanks to Pei!
**[23:53] ---**
Yes, yes!
**[23:57] ---**
Pei Xiu, did I really do the right thing?
**[24:01] ---**
If we continue on like this,
the war will be over soon,
**[24:04] ---**
putting an end to the suffering
of people on both sides.
**[24:09] ---**
I think this is General Hua's
wish as well.
**[24:13] ---**
Deputy Lieutenant, everything is ready.
**[24:14] ---**
The day after tomorrow,
we fight the last battle.
**[24:16] ---**
We'll conquer Half-Moon Kingdom
and finally set things right.
**[24:19] ---**
Excellent. If you secure victory,
you will be generously rewarded.
**[24:24] ---**
You are too generous, Deputy Lieutenant.
**[24:25] ---**
We must win, and we can't make mistakes.
**[24:29] ---**
Since you are the one
leading your troops into battle,
**[24:32] ---**
you will be punished under
military law if you lose.
**[24:37] ---**
Also, since you're so talented,
I think 2,000 men should suffice.
**[24:46] ---**
What are we going to do?
If their city is taken,
**[24:49] ---**
the Half-Moon people will use explosives
to destroy Yong An out of revenge.
**[24:52] ---**
Countless people will die.
**[24:59] ---**
The city gates are open!
Go in, kill them! Slaughter them all!
**[25:02] ---**
Kill them!
**[25:09] ---**
Found her!
**[25:10] ---**
The Grand Preceptor is here!
Let's kill her first!
**[25:13] ---**
Traitor! Kill the traitor!
**[26:13] ---**
What's this?
**[26:17] ---**
You've done enough. Now we just
need to report this to the emperor.
**[26:22] ---**
You don't need to worry about this part.
**[26:25] ---**
Is this because of General Pei?
**[26:27] ---**
Yes, you have made an enemy of him.
**[26:31] ---**
I knew this would happen with the Peis.
I was bound to offend one of them.
**[26:39] ---**
General Pei values Pei Xiu
**[26:41] ---**
and wants him to replace the
martial god of the West, Yi Zhen.
**[26:44] ---**
I wonder if Pei Xiu
will be demoted upon his return.
**[26:48] ---**
If he's demoted, you'll be in trouble.
**[26:51] ---**
Don't worry, Pei Ming is a proud man.
He wouldn't do such a thing.
**[26:57] ---**
Right--where is Fu Yao?
It's been a while since I've seen him.
**[27:00] ---**
Don't worry, Lian. He must be embarrassed
about being wrong, so he went back.
**[27:04] ---**
Huh? What happened while I was gone?
**[27:08] ---**
It's a long story. I'll tell you later.
**[27:12] ---**
Let's take Half-Moon up with us
and then return to save the others.
**[27:21] ---**
Half-Moon? Half-Moon?
**[27:24] ---**
Brother, I seem to recall that you could
use your magic to collect things.
**[27:32] ---**
Thanks, San Lang!
**[27:35] ---**
Collect!
**[28:12] ---**
He's awake, finally!
**[28:13] ---**
Yes.
**[28:19] ---**
--We can set off now.
--Yes.
**[28:21] ---**
--That's great.
--Are you ready?
**[28:23] ---**
Yes, here you go.
**[28:27] ---**
Master, I have a question.
**[28:32] ---**
You're a god, right?
**[28:34] ---**
I saw you using magic!
**[28:38] ---**
Don't worry. I won't tell anyone.
**[28:41] ---**
If it hadn't been for you,
I would have ended up in the pit.
**[28:45] ---**
When I go back, I'll erect a big
temple and dedicate it to you!
**[28:51] ---**
Thank you.
**[28:54] ---**
Of course! See you later!
**[29:04] ---**
Goodbye!
**[29:05] ---**
Right, Wind Master
asked me to stay out of things.
**[29:08] ---**
Does this mean she's
in charge of reporting it?
**[29:11] ---**
What if she's next to
make an enemy of General Pei?
**[29:14] ---**
Don't worry about her. General Pei
dares mess with you but not with her.
**[29:19] ---**
She's younger than you,
but she's a lot more savvy.
**[29:23] ---**
Of course she is. She has connections.
**[29:27] ---**
You mean the woman
in black by her side?
**[29:30] ---**
No, but she is famous, too.
**[29:34] ---**
She must be one of the five masters
of wind, water, rain, earth, and thunder.
**[29:38] ---**
Try not to offend her.
**[29:40] ---**
I agree. Thank you, everyone.
**[29:44] ---**
Nan Feng, will you stay for dinner?
**[29:46] ---**
I'll cook something up
as a token of my gratitude.
**[29:49] ---**
Huh? What? Did you say it's urgent?
**[29:52] ---**
Your Highness, something has
come up in my palace, and I must go.
**[30:00] ---**
All right, since he's not coming,
let's go. What would you like eat,
**[30:05] ---**
Hua Cheng?
**[30:18] ---**
I still prefer the name "San Lang."
