[00:16] ---
San Lang?
[00:20] ---
Why is Lang Ying also here?
[00:23] ---
This place is...
[00:24] ---
the armory?
[00:27] ---
Get out of the way!
[00:30] ---
My apologies!
[02:54] ---
Sorry!
[02:55] ---
San Lang,
[02:56] ---
let me explain.
[02:58] ---
OK.
[02:59] ---
I'm listening.
[03:00] ---
I...
[03:01] ---
Wait,
[03:02] ---
isn't it the other way around?
[03:03] ---
He should be the one explaining, right?
[03:05] ---
Your Highness!
[03:06] ---
Be careful!
[03:07] ---
This incident of the
missing heavenly official.
[03:08] ---
He's definitely involved in it!
[03:13] ---
San Lang,
[03:15] ---
although I don't know what misunderstanding
you have with Earth Master,
[03:18] ---
let's stay calm and talk it out first.
[03:19] ---
Earth Master?
[03:21] ---
Who's the Earth Master?
[03:23] ---
You mean the one that Wind
Master carries on his back?
[03:28] ---
Just one of my incompetent subordinates.
[03:31] ---
What?
[03:33] ---
He's clearly a heavenly official
from the Heavenly Court.
[03:35] ---
Why are you deliberately
misinterpreting things.
[03:37] ---
Oh?
[03:38] ---
Then I wonder, why did the esteemed heavenly
officials of the Heavenly Court...
[03:41] ---
hide his identity and condescend
[03:44] ---
to become a ghost messenger in my realm?
[03:47] ---
If that person is truly Earth Master,
[03:49] ---
he's been quite patient.
[03:52] ---
A decade-long act.
[03:55] ---
In these ten years, although I
occasionally felt something was amiss,
[03:58] ---
I didn't have solid evidence.
[04:01] ---
If I hadn't bumped into him
[04:02] ---
and Wind Master together at the Ban Yue Pass.
[04:05] ---
I wouldn't have been completely sure.
[04:10] ---
So that's how it is...
[04:12] ---
During the journey at the Ban Yue Pass,
[04:14] ---
even though Earth Master was influenced by Wind
Master's instigation and turned into a female form,
[04:16] ---
San Lang saw through it
with just one glance.
[04:19] ---
And he confirmed that Earth Master is one of
the Five heavenly officials of the Heavenly Court.
[04:21] ---
But she is a famous figure too,
[04:24] ---
as one of the five masters of Wind,
Water, Rain, Earth and Thunder.
[04:27] ---
Don't make an enemy of her.
[04:30] ---
It seems that San Lang
left without a word back
[04:32] ---
then
[04:33] ---
because he was anxious to go back
and settle the score with him.
[04:37] ---
The heavenly official in the Heavenly
Court don't do his job properly.
[04:40] ---
Instead, he comes to the ghost
realm undercover for decades.
[04:42] ---
It's truly a scandal.
[04:45] ---
However,
[04:46] ---
we can't let Earth Master
continue to stay here
[04:48] ---
and let the situation worsen.
[04:51] ---
I understand the situation now.
[04:53] ---
The blame
[04:54] ---
is on us.
[04:56] ---
But, San Lang,
[04:57] ---
I hope you can show some leniency today.
[05:05] ---
Your Highness,
[05:06] ---
there are some things
[05:08] ---
you'd better not get too involved in.
[05:14] ---
Hey!
[05:15] ---
Blow,
[05:16] ---
wind!
[05:23] ---
Wind Master,
[05:24] ---
we haven't even started yet!
[05:26] ---
It seems like
[05:27] ---
none of you will take the initiative,
[05:30] ---
so let me be the villain!
[05:41] ---
Well,
[05:42] ---
what a coincidence.
[05:43] ---
I have a fan
[05:45] ---
too!
[06:09] ---
Wind Master,
[06:10] ---
please hold on!
[06:12] ---
I want to as well!
[06:13] ---
But...
[06:14] ---
If we stop now, all our previous
efforts will be wasted!
[06:50] ---
My apologies, Wind Master.
[06:52] ---
I couldn't resist following along!
[06:54] ---
Qianqiu, your timing is perfect this time!
[06:58] ---
This sword...
[06:59] ---
Could it be the heavy sword forged
from the mysterious stone
[07:02] ---
obtained from the heart
of the Magnetic Mountain?
[07:10] ---
With a single thought,
[07:12] ---
it can absorb all the
metallic weapons of others
[07:14] ---
in its vicinity!
[07:16] ---
Until they melt and get absorbed!
[07:20] ---
The esteemed heavenly officials of the
Heavenly Realm are really desperate,
[07:23] ---
unwilling to let go of even a piece of gold?
[07:36] ---
Oh no,
[07:37] ---
if Prince Taihua strikes with this sword...
[07:39] ---
Qianqiu,
[07:40] ---
don't take it head-on!
[07:49] ---
What's going on?
[08:02] ---
Wind Master,
[08:03] ---
let the wind rise and carry us up!
[08:20] ---
Oh no!
[08:20] ---
He is catching up!
[08:25] ---
Wind Master, please stop using the fan!
[08:26] ---
It's going to burn out!
[08:28] ---
Okay, okay,
[08:29] ---
I won't use it anymore!
[08:30] ---
Your Highness, please let go of me!
[08:32] ---
Your grip is too strong!
[08:34] ---
Oh my god!
[08:35] ---
It's on fire!
[08:37] ---
Help!
[08:37] ---
It's burning!
[08:50] ---
I...
[08:52] ---
just wanted to start a small fire
[08:54] ---
and buy some time...
[08:56] ---
How did it turn out like this.
[08:59] ---
I'm sorry, Your Highness!
[09:01] ---
It was supposed to be just a small fire.
[09:04] ---
It's my fault.
[09:06] ---
If Crimson Rain Sought Flower
goes after you for compensation,
[09:07] ---
you can blame it all on me!
[09:10] ---
It's not about the money.
[09:13] ---
Don't worry!
[09:14] ---
I'll compensate no matter how much!
[09:15] ---
I'm not afraid of anything,
even if I'm broke.
[09:23] ---
Your Highness!
[09:25] ---
What happened to your hand?
[09:28] ---
Could it be that white light just now?
[09:31] ---
Was it you?
[09:44] ---
It's nothing,
[09:45] ---
just a small injury.
[09:46] ---
I'll be fine once we get up there.
[09:49] ---
It was too intense.
[09:51] ---
If it weren't for Your Highness's
one-handed defense...
[09:54] ---
Qianqiu might have been chopped into
pieces by Crimson Rain Sought Flower.
[09:58] ---
Qianqiu?
[09:59] ---
Qianqiu?
[10:01] ---
What's wrong?
[10:03] ---
Your eyes are still blinded, even now？
[10:17] ---
Lang Ying,
[10:19] ---
there's no one in the side hall.
[10:21] ---
You go there and wait for me first.
[10:37] ---
Excuse me, which heavenly official is here?
[10:38] ---
Hurry and come to the Hall of Shen Wu!
[10:40] ---
A heavenly official has been injured!
[10:42] ---
Oh no,
[10:42] ---
it's two heavenly officials!
[10:44] ---
Ten thousand merits!
[10:44] ---
This is urgent,
[10:45] ---
we need people to come quickly!
[10:46] ---
Wind Master,
[10:47] ---
there's no need to distribute merits.
[10:48] ---
Speak nicely,
[10:49] ---
and everyone will naturally come.
[10:52] ---
Your Highness,
[10:53] ---
this is where you are misinformed.
[10:55] ---
Distributing merits is a hundred
times faster than speaking nicely!
[10:58] ---
Who
[10:59] ---
got injured?
[11:05] ---
What happened to your right hand?
[11:08] ---
Well...
[11:09] ---
So what if you're injured?
[11:11] ---
With so many heavenly officials
in the Heavenly Court,
[11:13] ---
who hasn't gotten injured
during their patrols?
[11:19] ---
Wind Master,
[11:20] ---
what happened?
[11:24] ---
So, this injured person...
[11:26] ---
is the Earth Master, right?
[11:40] ---
I was wondering what it meant for the
Wind Master to distribute merits.
[11:43] ---
It turns out it's for the Earth Master.
[11:44] ---
The Earth Master is like a phantom,
never seen but always heard of.
[11:46] ---
This is my first time seeing him.
[11:48] ---
But what exactly happened for them
[11:50] ---
to be so heavily injured.
[11:52] ---
It's no big deal.
[11:53] ---
It'll get better on its own.
[11:56] ---
Be more careful from now on.
[11:57] ---
Thank you.
[12:00] ---
Your Highness Taihua,
[12:01] ---
what happened to you?
[12:03] ---
Did Prince Taihua get injured somewhere too?
[12:05] ---
I don't think so.
[12:08] ---
Let me check.
[12:14] ---
Prince Taihua,
[12:15] ---
what are you doing?
[12:18] ---
Prince Tai...
[12:19] ---
Imperial Preceptor.
[12:24] ---
I clearly killed you with my own hands,
[12:26] ---
sealed you in the triple coffin,
[12:28] ---
and suppressed you in the earth.
[12:30] ---
Imperial Preceptor,
[12:32] ---
you truly have great powers!
[12:34] ---
Imperial Preceptor?
[12:34] ---
Who's the Imperial Preceptor?
[12:35] ---
Prince Taihua is the Crown
Prince of Yong An Kingdom,
[12:38] ---
then the Imperial Preceptor
of Yong An Kingdom is...
[12:40] ---
So, isn't he one of the twin teachers of the
taoists, the Imperial Preceptor Fangxin?
[12:43] ---
Huh?
[12:44] ---
But what happened?
[12:45] ---
How could the Prince of Xianle become the
the Imperial Preceptor of Yong An Kingdom?
[12:48] ---
Exactly,
[12:49] ---
Xianle was destroyed by Yong An!
[12:51] ---
Wait, wait,
[12:51] ---
I'm getting more and more confused!
[12:53] ---
Ling Wen!
[12:56] ---
Just in time!
[12:57] ---
Explain it to us quickly!
[13:01] ---
The Imperial Preceptor Fangxin,
[13:03] ---
because of the bloodbath at the Golden
Feast in Yong An Imperial Family,
[13:05] ---
was included as one of the two evil taoists,
[13:07] ---
which was extremely brutal.
[13:10] ---
But,
[13:12] ---
in fact, he was the savior and mentor of
Yong An Kingdom's Crown Prince, Lang Qianqiu.
[13:17] ---
Golden Feast?
[13:18] ---
Exactly.
[13:20] ---
Wind Master,
[13:21] ---
this Golden Feast originally started as
a banquet among the nobles of Xianle.
[13:26] ---
The utensils used at the feast are all
exquisitely crafted golden wares,
[13:30] ---
extremely luxurious,
[13:31] ---
hence the name.
[13:33] ---
After the founding of Yong An Kingdom,
[13:36] ---
the extravagant atmosphere of the
previous dynasty resurfaced,
[13:38] ---
and the Golden Feast became a
royal regulation once again.
[13:42] ---
At that time, in celebration of the 17th
birthday of the Yong An Crown Prince,
[13:46] ---
a grand Golden Feast was held
in the imperial palace.
[13:51] ---
And the Imperial Preceptor
of Yong An Kingdom...
[13:52] ---
It was during this Golden Feast
that he brandished a sword
[13:56] ---
and killed all the members of the
Yong An royal family present.
[14:00] ---
Only the belated Yong An
Crown Prince, Lang Qianqiu,
[14:04] ---
managed to escape.
[14:07] ---
You once said that
[14:09] ---
you couldn't stand seeing
us in that position,
[14:11] ---
but I never once doubted you.
[14:16] ---
It's only now that
[14:17] ---
I finally understand why
you did what you did.
[14:20] ---
This...
[14:21] ---
Qianqiu,
[14:22] ---
if the Imperial Preceptor of Yong
An Kingdom is his royal highness,
[14:25] ---
how could you only recognize it now?
[14:27] ---
Qingxuan.
[14:28] ---
Legend has it that the Imperial Preceptor
Fangxin has always been aloof and mysterious,
[14:31] ---
wearing a silver mask
[14:33] ---
and never revealing his true face.
[14:35] ---
I suppose Prince Taihua has
never seen his true face before.
[14:39] ---
Since no one has seen what the Imperial
Preceptor Fangxin looks like...
[14:43] ---
General Pei,
[14:44] ---
how can you be so sure about it?
[14:50] ---
Xianle Kingdom was destroyed,
[14:51] ---
so he also destroyed Yong An Kingdom.
[14:53] ---
That's revenge!
[14:54] ---
Isn't it revenge?
[14:55] ---
The people of Yong An killed his parents,
[14:58] ---
so he wants to kill the parents of
the Yong An Crown Prince in return,
[15:01] ---
an eye for an eye,
[15:02] ---
a tooth for a tooth.
[15:04] ---
But it wasn't Lang Qianqiu's
generation that destroyed Xianle,
[15:07] ---
so his anger seems unjustified.
[15:10] ---
I thought he was born foolish and a
laughingstock of the Three Realms,
[15:14] ---
but I never expected him to
be such a cunning character.
[15:17] ---
Impressive!
[15:21] ---
Your Majesty.
[15:31] ---
It's nothing serious.
[15:32] ---
Take the Earth Master down first
[15:34] ---
and take care of him.
[15:35] ---
Yes,
[15:36] ---
Your Majesty.
[16:01] ---
Speak up then,
[16:02] ---
what's going on again.
[16:03] ---
Why is Taihua holding onto Xianle,
[16:06] ---
and why is Xianle bowing its head?
[16:09] ---
Your Majesty,
[16:11] ---
this person was once known as the Imperial
Preceptor Fangxin hundreds of years ago.
[16:13] ---
He killed my relatives
[16:14] ---
and brought disaster to my country!
[16:16] ---
I want to duel with him.
[16:18] ---
Your Majesty, please bear witness today!
[16:23] ---
Taihua,
[16:24] ---
what evidence do you have to firmly believe
[16:27] ---
that Xianle is Fangxin?
[16:30] ---
When I was twelve years old,
[16:32] ---
I was once captured by a group of bandits.
[16:35] ---
Step off!
[16:37] ---
Your Highness!
[16:39] ---
Let go of the Prince!
[16:47] ---
Oh no!
[17:03] ---
Run!
[17:12] ---
Qianqiu!
[17:23] ---
At that time,
[17:24] ---
he did the same,
[17:25] ---
deflecting the attacks of both sides
[17:27] ---
and saving me.
[17:29] ---
After that, the Imperial Preceptor Fangxin
taught me swordsmanship for several years.
[17:31] ---
Although
[17:33] ---
during my encounter with the Crimson
Rain Sought Flower in this fight,
[17:35] ---
I only caught a glimpse of faint afterimages.
[17:37] ---
But once he made a move,
[17:39] ---
I wouldn't mistake it for anyone else!
[17:41] ---
Prince Taihua,
[17:43] ---
besides you, no one else
saw these afterimages.
[17:45] ---
So, isn't it just your word against his?
[17:48] ---
Fine!
[17:50] ---
Fetch a sword, if you would!
[17:54] ---
Here you go!
[17:55] ---
Let's go all out and have a
full-on sword fight right now.
[17:57] ---
Let's see if our swordsmanship aligns,
[18:00] ---
and if I'm the one you taught!
[18:03] ---
Uh...
[18:03] ---
isn't it inappropriate to have a
sword fight in the Hall of Shen Wu?
[18:05] ---
However, his Royal Highness,
the Crown Prince,
[18:07] ---
and his entire family were
tragically murdered.
[18:09] ---
Yeah,
[18:10] ---
if he doesn't avenge this,
[18:11] ---
how can he swallow his pride?
[18:14] ---
Qianqiu,
[18:15] ---
His highness just defended you
against an attack from Hua Cheng.
[18:17] ---
His right hand is severely injured!
[18:18] ---
How can he compete with you in a sword fight?
[18:28] ---
What are you doing?
[18:30] ---
Wind master is right.
[18:32] ---
You injured your arm while saving me.
[18:34] ---
I'll give you back your arm now.
[18:36] ---
But...
[18:37] ---
saving me is one thing,
[18:39] ---
killing my family is another!
[18:41] ---
Come on!
[18:42] ---
I know you can wield a sword with both hands,
[18:44] ---
and both are equally skillful.
[18:46] ---
Let's compare using our left hands.
[18:48] ---
Pick up the sword if you are a real man!
[18:53] ---
I made a vow many years ago
[18:56] ---
never to kill with a sword again.
[19:23] ---
I think there may be some
misunderstanding here.
[19:25] ---
Since the Imperial Preceptor
Fangxin has always worn a mask,
[19:28] ---
who's to say someone didn't
impersonate him to cause harm?
[19:30] ---
What do you think,
[19:31] ---
Your Majesty?
[19:34] ---
Xianle.
[19:35] ---
Yes.
[19:37] ---
Do you acknowledge
[19:39] ---
what Taihua said?
[19:42] ---
I do.
[19:47] ---
The Imperial Preceptor Fangxin
who bloodied the Golden Feast,
[19:50] ---
is it really you?
[19:57] ---
That's right.
[19:59] ---
It's me!
