[Episode 38]

[Suburbs of Nanjing]

Your Majesty, please punish me.

During the riot,

the late emperor was trapped.

I failed to return in time.

So, the two of you fell into danger
without any help.

I am guilty.

I've investigated this.

This isn't your fault.

Duan, you're not guilty.

Xian Ye died for our nation.

How could I leave him in the wilderness?

But sadly, all I can do is set up this tomb.

I once travelled from Nandu
to different cities.

But I've never been to the border.

Yet I know very well, this world is very big,

beyond the Palace and beyond the Capital.

The world doesn't belong to the emperor,

but to the people all over it.

We are gradually
recovering the 17 Prefectures.

As a member of this nation,

I sincerely thank you.

Fang Ji and I had a promise.

I would retake the 17 Prefectures.

He would be a virtuous minister
to uphold this nation.

But so far, I haven't fulfilled this promise.

Entrust me with his last wish.

I'll govern the nation well.

I won't fail the promise
the three of us made.

My...

My time is running out.

I'm going to die.

Xian Ye is dead.

You must look after yourself.

I hereby take an oath upon Xian Ye's soul.

I'll devote my life...

to recovering the 17 Prefectures.

My vow never changes.

Shun Xi, I trust no one but you
on border issues.

You and Fang Ji can talk in private.

You always said I was insane.

But when you went insane,

you were even more fierce.

People always say...

the Top Scholar is self-disciplined.

You were just pretending.

Don't worry.

His Majesty will be a good emperor.

He will bring our nation

into a prosperous age we've been expecting.

Whether he's a friend or he's the Emperor,

I believe this will never change.

You used to worry too much.

Now you've died before me.

You can stop worrying...

and take some good rest.

And I...

I want to stay with her for as long as I can.

[Duan Mansion]

I'm here to bid farewell, Father.

I'm a bad son.

I can't serve you or Mother.

Please take care of yourselves.

Stop right there!

Father.

For our family's glory,

you sacrificed most of your life.

You and Mother both suffered.

I have someone I love...

and something I want to do.

I will live for myself.

Duan Xu! Stop!

Come back! Come back here!

You...

Come back!

Duan Xu.

Duan Xu.

Come back!

Come back.

Come back here.

When I was little,

I fell into a pit in the backyard.

It was very dark.

And the pit was deep.

I was really scared and cried for help.

Then I saw my father...

standing there and looking at me.

He said he wouldn't help me,

or let anyone else help me.

He asked me to climb out.

If I had failed, I would have died there.

I cried and begged him.

But he still left.

I tried many times...

and fell over and over.

In the end, I did climb out all by myself.

I was thinking.

So, I could save myself...

without begging for help.

No wonder.

So when you were abducted,
you didn't blame your father.

It's not quite like that.

After I came back from the Chong,

I heard that day,

my father stood near the pit
and guarded the hole.

He stood in the sun for several hours.

He didn't leave until I climbed out.

Even if Jing Yuan and I
are his pawns in power games,

he loves us anyway.

Now it is time.

Marshal Duan is a military genius.

Now, we've taken several cities
around Youzhou.

The last few battles
were really exhilarating.

What are our casualties?

Guihe Army lost 20 percent.

Tabai Army and Chengjie Army lost
nearly 30,000 soldiers.

Bury them properly.

The next battle will determine the outcome.

[Youzhou]
Youzhou is the Chong's key.

They'll defend fully.

From tomorrow on, we'll fight for survival.

We pledge our lives
to the capture of Youzhou!

- Capture!
- Capture Youzhou!

Captain Han is here.

Han.

I...

I'm late.

Ling Qiu.

I shouldn't have left.

If I had been here,

Chen Ying wouldn't have...

If we get a complete victory...

Tomorrow, we'll follow the plan.

Yes, sir.

Han, I missed you so much.

The elixir you made is remarkably effective.

I spared no effort to nurse him
and cast a blessed spell.

But Duan Xu...

He's been working all day
and draining himself.

I...

I'll just do the best I can.

How long has he got?

If he takes good rest,

perhaps, he can live as long as I can.

If he could take good rest,
he wouldn't be Duan Xu.

If he keeps exhausting himself,

even if he has my blessed spell
and full recuperation,

he...

He has only two years left.

No.

Foxy has a charmed life.

He'll always survive.

Si Mu,

you think you can stop me
by sealing off the passage

between the Void and the Mortal World?

I'll turn the Mortal World
into my b*ttlefield too.

[Liang]

Liang soldiers, in today's battle,

we'll annihilate the enemies
and reclaim our land!

Annihilate the enemies! Reclaim our land!

Annihilate the enemies! Reclaim our land!

Annihilate the enemies! Reclaim our land!

Annihilate the enemies! Reclaim our land!

Annihilate the enemies! Reclaim our land!

Annihilate the enemies! Reclaim our land!

Charge!

k*ll!

k*ll!

Your Grace!

Your Grace, bad news.

On the b*ttlefield,
many spirit soldiers appeared.

Liang troops couldn't resist
and suffered heavy casualties.

It's Yan Ke.

He actually created
so many spirit soldiers in this world

and even sent them to w*r.

Feng Yi, you go with me.

Liang soldiers,

how are you?

Are you all right?

These puppet spirits are tough to k*ll.

My sword can fight them.

But there are too many.

I can't k*ll them all.

I must do something to help Her Grace.

Oh, my eyes.

Hold on there.

As long as I sense the Glazed Pagoda,
I'll find Yan Ke.

Then I can help Her Grace.

You said the spirits would
only fight my enemies.

Why are they fighting my troops too?

Why do you care about
such insignificant lives?

Now on this b*ttlefield,
thousands of auras are mine to feast on.

Defeating He Si Mu won't be a problem.

When I become the Sovereign,

I'll give you as many troops as you want.

You shameless fiend!

How dare you k*ll my people!

Don't think you can rant before me

just because you have the Lantern's power.

This method of cultivation...

I'll teach you only once.

Keep it in mind.

You're nothing but a puppet I've made.

From now on,
the Spirits Lantern will serve me.

The Glazed Pagoda?

You want to dissolve me?

But the Lantern won't allow it!

Yan Ke, I'm going to take you on.

- Your Grace.
- Si Mu? There you are.

Leave now if you don't want to die.

Yes, Your Grace.

Traitor Yan Ke, as the Right Hand,
you violated the Decrees,

disrupted the Void,
and plagued the Mortal World.

I'll take you back to the Void
and execute you.

Then give it a try.

k*ll me here or go save those mortals.

Make your choice.

Even now,

you're still playing such a dirty trick.

You keep saying you want to be the Sovereign.

But you hide all the time
and don't even dare to fight me head-on.

Even Bai San Xing surpasses you.

In my eyes, you're just a mere rebel.

Today, I'll give you a chance.

k*ll me and you'll be the Sovereign.

Am I that despicable in your eyes?

Stay where you are.

They won't disappear until Great Ancestor

defeats Yan Ke at the source.

They're k*ll able now.

They're dead.

This...

Liang soldiers,
I've refined your weapons.

Now you can also k*ll these puppet spirits.

Prophet, you should have used
this awesome technique long ago!

Soldiers!

Let's fight for our nation!

k*ll!

Yan Ke, you lost after all.

No.

I never lost.

In the past 300 years, your trust,

reliance, and closeness to me,
were all fake.

He Si Mu, you failed me!

Your arrogant father treated me as a pawn.

He used me and abandoned me.

So did you.

Those I adored all failed me.

So I had to hold power in my own hands.

What you didn't want to give me,

I would grab it myself.

All this should have been mine!

All you have is selfish desire.

All you strive for is vanity.

I gave you the power you wanted.

But your insatiable greed
was hard to satisfy.

That's why you thought everyone failed you.

As for the Lantern...

In your eyes, it's a supreme treasure.

But to me, it's just like the throne.

A mere object.

Just because of evil spirits like you,

my father and my siblings lost their lives!

Let go.

You can't control the Lantern.

You're the Sovereign.

If you vanish,

perhaps then, all the evil spirits
in this world will disappear!

No!

Stop!

Si Mu.

No.

Si Mu.

I...

I can finally die.

It's not bad.

I no longer have to endure loneliness

or bear the pain
of being left behind by those I love.

Father.

Mother.

I'm coming to you.

The Void is quaking.

He Si Mu's in trouble.

Let's secure this.

Don't let the spirits
enter the Mortal World.

Si Mu is in trouble.

That's He Si Mu's vital gate, isn't it?

You little ant.

How dare you?

Leave! Leave!

Xu.

Si Mu is in trouble.

According to the Prophet,

these spirit soldiers won't disappear
until Yan Ke is defeated!

Nothing shall happen to Miss He!

Xu, we can't k*ll all these spirit soldiers
on our own.

We'll take care of them.

You go help Miss He.

Go!

- You must stay alive!
- Yes, sir!

- Yes, sir!
- Yes, sir!

Mai Zi, take me to Si Mu.

All right.

I'm all alone, eternal and undying.

How nice.

I'm no longer lonely.
