What's this?

True dragon's mark.

When the Sea Emperor's blood

is affirmed,

it'll appear on the Sea Emperor's body.

I carry the blood

of the Dragon Clan descendants.

The dragon mark represents

the serpent dragon's mark.

At this moment, its appearance

is to pay homage to the true dragon.

When you were young,

I hadn't encountered the opportunity.

But it's within reach.

Yet, I didn't even know

you were the Sea Emperor.

What Sea Emperor?

This is the mission

the God of Dragon bestowed upon you.

No.

No!

Those two Merfolk marine soldiers

also mentioned the Sea Emperor just now.

Merfolk marine soldiers?

They wanted to take our Jade Tears.

They even k*lled my mother.

Don't be afraid.

I'll protect you.

I'll take you

to a safe place now.

(Oh, no.)

(Elder Jian and the others are coming.)

Time is running out.

I'll take you away from here first.

No!

I don't want to be the Sea Emperor.

You're just like them.

You're a bad person!

I don't want to be the Sea Emperor!

Let go of me!

Put me down!

Let me go!

Let me

The dragon mark appears on his body.

You're indeed the Sea Emperor.

That's right.

I'm the Sea Emperor.

When did you discover it?

Just a moment ago.

Who is this child?

His mother died during the w*r.

He is alone and helpless.

I can only take him with me for now.

Does the mighty Sea Emperor

need to personally take care

of an orphan?

Indeed, it's you.

It seems when the Sea Emperor helps

the weak and the poor,

it's the moment when heaven

confirms his identity.

Perhaps, it's as you said.

Since you're the Sea Emperor,

then can you fulfill the promise

of giving an explanation you made

in Extreme Wind City that day?

You must not betray

Yan'er's trust in you.

(My blood is getting warmer.)

(It should be Elder Jian)

(getting nearer.)

The explanation you want,

I'll give it to you.

Trying to escape, are you?

I'll k*ll you,

you hypocritical Sea Emperor!

Don't hurt the child.

Why did you try to escape

when we asked for an explanation?

How can you live up

to Zhu Yan's expectations?

I should just k*ll you.

If you k*ll me now,

Kongsang will lose

the only opportunity

to live peacefully with the Merfolk

for the next few thousand years.

Shi Ying,

I have my own difficulties

that I can't avoid.

I hope you can trust me one more time

for Yan'er's sake.

I didn't expect

after we fought together against Diba,

his magic

has made such great progress.

This technique

is the highest secret technique

of the Merfolk Clan.

With your cultivation,

you could have k*lled him

without harming that child

in that situation.

Don't tell me you still believe

his nonsense.

Or did you show mercy to him

because of Zhu Yan?

We're still unclear if

the Evil Star's return is good or bad.

We need to be more cautious.

Or else it might turn blessings

into misfortune.

Just now,

he saw through my thoughts.

That's why he mentioned the coexistence

of the Merfolk and Kongsang people.

Whether it's just a response

to the situation

or what he truly desires,

I'll need some time

to observe and investigate.

If it was a deception,

he may be lucky to escape today.

But if we meet again,

I can still capture him.

When that time comes,

don't go soft because of Zhu Yan.

Greetings, Priest.

Keep searching!

- Yes, sir!

- Yes, sir!

I heard the Merfolk marine force

was lurking nearby.

So I was ordered to investigate.

But after a brief encounter,

they hurriedly escaped

as if they had important matters at hand.

It's different

from their usual fighting style.

(They)

(must be following the Sea Emperor.)

Lately, I've heard many rumors about you.

Everyone in the army

praises you

and wishes to fight alongside you.

Qing g*ng,

I'm a cultivator, an outsider,

to begin with.

Being caught up in these conflicts

is really out of my control.

If you hear them talking about it again,

tell them not to mention it anymore.

Priest,

may I speak to you in private?

Priest,

Prince Shi Yu

is currently commanding the army,

and he misses you greatly.

I wonder

if you're willing to meet him.

In recent days, they've been engaging

in fierce battles

with the Merfolk marine force.

But some of them

have contracted a strange cold illness.

Although it's not serious,

it shows no sign of recovery.

Even the military physician are helpless.

Cold-related illness?

Priest,

this way, please.

(Extreme Wind City)

The Azure River and Crimson River merge

at the lowest point

of the mainland's terrain,

which forms a lake.

The vast lake spans thousands of miles,

known as the Mirror Lake.

(Mirror Lake)

There are many monstrous creatures

and enchanting illusions,

making it impossible to cross.

Please enter.

Birds that attempt

to fly over it will fall.

But Merfolk are able to reside within it.

After the Sea Kingdom's downfall,

they often hide

in the depths of the lake

to avoid being captured

by the Kongsang people,

and establishing the base

of the Merfolk marine force.

So that's what happened.

Yu.

It's been a while.

Brother!

Am I dreaming?

Did you descend the mountain

because you read my letter?

I descended the mountain

for other matters.

Yu,

I'm glad you're the Crown Prince.

No, not at all.

I never wanted to be the Crown Prince.

You know me very well.

Since young, I have no talents

to be an emperor

or to lead soldiers into battle.

It was Mother who forced me to come.

She said if I don't accomplish

any military merits,

I can never see Bai Xueying again.

This battle shouldn't have happened

in the first place.

When the two clans

live peacefully together,

how prosperous Ye City used to be.

But on my journey here,

all I've seen

are innocent civilians displaced

and struggling to survive.

That's right.

The cursed Merfolk marine force

is to be blamed for this.

The Merfolk and Kongsang people

are the people of the Menghua Dynasty.

The Merfolk marine force

did start the w*r.

But with their strength,

they can't even shake

Menghua Dynasty's foundation.

If they truly cared

about the well-being of the people,

their priority

should be to quickly end the conflict

and not give any opportunity

to those with ulterior motives.

By launching a full-scale w*r like this,

they are only making matters worse,

deepening the divide

between the two clans.

What you said

is exactly what I have in mind.

I know starting a w*r is wrong.

But I can't seem to express

the reasons behind it.

I'll do everything I can

to stop the w*r from spreading.

Yu,

you must also believe in yourself

that you can accomplish it.

No.

Only you can be a good emperor.

Look at me.

I can't even lift a pen or hold a sword.

I can't even speak properly.

I'm completely useless.

I'm not as good as you said,

and you are not

as terrible as you think you are.

Not only I can't be compared to you.

I'm not as brave as General Qing.

His martial skills are outstanding.

And he can take on

ten enemies at once.

He's the perfect vanguard.

And then there's Bai Fenglin

from the Bai Family,

who's clever and skilled

in strategic warfare.

He excels at defeating enemies

without even fighting.

He also gathered

important intelligence

by interrogating

the Merfolk marine force.

Also,

Lan Xiqiao from the Lan Family

and Zi Yaoguang from the Zi Family.

When compared to all of you,

I really fall short.

Shi Yu,

to be a good ruler,

it doesn't depend on

charging into battle

or devising strategies.

It's about understanding

and utilizing people's talents,

placing them

in the most suitable positions.

And just now,

you have shown

that you have this ability.

Me?

That's right.

Those in power should never

be stubborn and self-centered.

You have a keen eye for judging people

and are good

at recognizing others' strengths.

With more experience,

over time,

you'll undoubtedly

become a wise ruler

who understands the people

and maximizes their abilities.

This is the prescription I developed

for the soldiers suffering

from the cold disease.

After I leave,

just follow this prescription.

Given time, they will surely recover.

Priest of Grand Preceptor,

on behalf of the soldiers, thank you.

General Qing,

do you have something to say?

Lately, there have been

many rumors circulating

about what Princess Zhu Yan did

in Western Huang.

Rumors?

It was a rumor

about Princess Zhu Yan eloping with you

in Western Huang.

(Master.)

We have to separate

after a brief meeting.

I feel reluctant.

Why not take me

with you wherever you go?

I'll follow you

to the ends of the earth.

It's just some hearsay circulating

among the people.

But after Consort Qing heard of it,

she summoned Princess Zhu Yan

to the palace for a lesson.

Today is the day she enters the palace.

Consort Qing?

Who are these people

to gossip about my disciple?

(Renwei Gate)

Who are you?

Priest of Grand Preceptor

of Jiuyi Mountain.

I've come to the palace on my own

to be reprimanded.

His Majesty did not summon you

to the palace.

Priest of Grand Preceptor,

please leave.

The Princess of the Crimson Clan

was summoned to be reprimanded,

and it's all because of me.

Since it concerns both of us,

it's unreasonable

to punish only one person.

(Renwei Gate)

I, Princess Zhu Yan of the Crimson Clan,

greet Your Highness.

May Your Highness be blessed

with eternal peace.

You are truly as your name suggests,

beautiful and a captivating smile.

You're indeed a budding beauty.

(What kind of act is she putting on?)

Why aren't you replying to me?

You're right, Your Highness.

And I thought Princess Zhu Yan

is omnipotent.

It turns out

she's just

a clueless country girl.

It's your father's fault

for keeping you hidden all this while.

I didn't even know among the Six Clans,

there was a woman like you,

who's beautiful, talented,

and has impeccable demeanor.

As fate would have it,

you've perfectly matched my preferences.

(She's showing her real colors now.)

(I'm sure she's up to no good.)

What do you think?

It's all my fault.

As the only daughter

of a prestigious family,

I believe you wouldn't disregard

the dignity of your parents

and engage in such improper behavior.

I wonder

if it was the Priest of Grand Preceptor

who misled you to speak this way.

If you can honestly tell me everything

about how the Priest of Grand Preceptor

had seduced you,

I promise not to punish you.

(I get it now.)

(She wants to use me)

(to frame Master.)

Furthermore, considering

that Yu is the Crown Prince,

it's my selfish desire as his mother

to find several talented

and virtuous women

as his potential matches

to continue the royal line.

With your appearance,

you'll undoubtedly stand

by the side of esteemed

and noble individuals in the future.

I'll accept any punishment

from Your Highness.

You

How dare you!

Your Highness is right.

It's all my fault.

You can punish me as you please,

Your Highness.

Is this all you can say?

Your Highness is correct.

It's all my fault.

You can punish me as you please,

Your Highness.

Do you think a few things you said

means I can't do anything to you

because I can't find anything

against you?

Listen.

I can still rip your mouth.

My hand

Master.

It's you.

How dare you trespass

on my Qingyun Palace

and humiliate me.

When it comes to audacity,

I'm not comparable to you, Consort Qing.

Relying solely on rumors,

you abused your power

and resorted to private punishment.

People have witnessed

and heard the disgraceful acts

both of you have committed.

The physician who attended

to the late Consort Zi

during her difficult childbirth

several years ago

was sent by Consort Qing herself.

Not only the Huotu Tribe,

but various tribes

from the Western Huang

frequently send confidential letters

to Consort Qing.

Outrageous lies!

What sorcery

have you used on them?

To believe rumors so easily

is too simplistic.

(This must be

the Mind-reading Spell)

(that Master refused to show me.)

(It's astonishing.)

Yan'er,

let's go!

Guards,

stop them!

His Majesty has arrived!

Stop.

Where are you going?

I, Priest of Grand Preceptor of Jiuyi,

shall take my leave.

Are you

leaving now?

Your Majesty,

you must speak up for me.

This Priest of Grand Preceptor

of Jiuyi Mountain

disregards imperial authority

and dares to intrude into

my Qingyun Palace

and threaten me.

If this continues,

the entire Jialan Imperial City

may fall into a dangerous state.

Silence!

If you didn't cause trouble,

how would he have come?

I suggest you refrain

from stirring up trouble.

I want to have

a private conversation with him.

You can leave.

Yes, Your Majesty.

You may rise.

So this is the disciple you've taken in?

You have a good eye.

Please refrain from joking,

Your Majesty.

When I look at your eyes,

they are exactly like mine in the past.

If there's nothing else,

I humbly take my leave.

After so many years apart,

don't you have anything

to say to me?

I have nothing

to say to you, Your Majesty.

I shall take my leave.

Stop!

I didn't punish you for deceiving me.

Yet, you repay me

with such disrespect?

Shi Ying.

Only the Priest of Grand Preceptor

of Jiuyi Mountain is here.

There's no one called by that name here.

Great.

Just great.

The Priest of Grand Preceptor

of Jiuyi Mountain, huh?

You cultivators

are known for following etiquette,

respecting the bond

between parents and children.

If you don't repay

your parents' kindness,

you won't attain enlightenment.

Today,

as your father,

I want you to repay my kindness.

Do you think cutting your hair

can repay my kindness?

In my heart,

there's no longer any debt of gratitude.

Do you still think

of me as your father?

Your Majesty,

you only blame Master

for not treating you as his father.

But all these years,

have you truly treated him as your son?

I was at the palace that day.

I even ran into Lady Qiushui.

The incident that day

was not caused by the Crown Prince.

I was young and ignorant.

I accidentally knocked

into Lady Qiushui's carriage

and almost received punishment.

It was the Crown Prince who protected me

and even gave me a flower as a gift.

He treated a stranger child

with kindness and politeness.

Besides,

Lady Qiushui was already being punished

to copy scriptures.

Why would the Crown Prince

need to resort to k*lling her?

This action doesn't make sense

no matter how one sees it.

Zhu Yan,

enough!

Because of Lady Qiushui's incident,

people all over the world despised

and cursed him,

calling him immoral

and deserving to die.

And as the Emperor

and his father,

instead of investigating

the truth thoroughly,

you hurt him the most.

Talking about this matter

with the opinions of the world is useless.

You're the cause of this, Your Majesty.

So you should've clarified this matter.

If I'm punished because of this,

I have no complaints or regrets.

Since you disregard

the father-son relationship,

I have no choice but to follow the law

and punish you for the crime

of deceiving the emperor.

The Crown Prince didn't

have a funeral back then.

No one in the world

could talk about his life or death.

If a person

doesn't have a memorial tablet, funeral,

or announcement of his death,

how can he be considered dead?

Then the Crown Prince was never dead.

Appearing now is only natural

and reasonable.

How can this be considered

deceiving the emperor?

Is this something you can say?

Look at that.

Look at your disciple.

Just as defiant as you.

Guards!

Yes, Your Majesty.

Take her away

and flog her forty times!

- Yes, Your Majesty.

- Yes, Your Majesty.

Wait!

This is my fault.

I'm willing to take full responsibility.

Your Majesty,

please do not redirect

your anger toward others.

I entered the palace without permission.

That's the first crime.

I showed disrespect toward authority.

That's the second crime.

I failed to discipline my disciple.

That's the third crime.

Your Majesty, please count the crimes

and give appropriate punishment.

You're an Immortal Official

who's not involved in worldly matters.

But she's not.

She offended the Emperor.

And the evidence of her crime is clear.

Her crimes implicate her parents,

her children,

and her spouse.

Masters and disciples aren't included.

So tell me.

Who are you to her

to accept the punishment on her behalf?

You have nothing to say, right?

I know spiritual cultivators like you

are unrestricted by worldly constraints.

You can even disregard the law

and take her away.

Then let everyone from Crimson Residence

take the punishment

in her place.

Your Majesty!

Master,

stop pleading for me.

I'm willing to accept the punishment.

It's an honor

to be convicted guilty of this matter.

A small action

can have far-reaching consequences.

The repercussions of one person

can serve as a warning to the people.

I shall grant your request.

You shall bear this punishment alone.

Ying.

Yes, Your Supreme Majesty.

I have found the Sea Emperor.

How did you determine his identity?

He matched the time and place

predicted by orrery.

And the dragon's mark

was revealed on his face.

He even used Merfolk Clan's

supreme secret technique.

Did you capture him?

The situation was complicated

at the time.

So I intentionally let him go.

You should've gotten rid of him

at that time.

If he's indeed as you say,

this person should be eliminated

as soon as possible.

Your Supreme Majesty,

now that the Evil Star

has become weak and dim,

whether it's good or bad,

the threat to Kongsang

has greatly diminished.

Currently, it's difficult to tell

whether he's a friend or a foe.

I have a feeling

that I'll meet this person again soon.

At that time, I will definitely

uncover the truth

and provide an explanation to the world.

Good.

If the matter with Evil Star is resolved,

you'll have achieved

an unparalleled feat.

Ying,

if you return to the mortal world

at that time

Your Supreme Majesty.

When that day comes,

I'll leave the priesthood.

I'm glad

that you're willing

to descend the mountain.

However, leaving the priesthood

will subject you

to the Tribulations of Hell

to endure countless trials

and sufferings.

At that time, it'll be a matter

of life and death.

I've made up my mind.

All right.

So be it.

Your Supreme Majesty,

leaving the priesthood

doesn't mean I'll return

to the imperial court.

I only wish to live a carefree life

for the rest of my life.

To live a carefree life

for the rest of your life?

Since the establishment

of Jiuyi Mountain,

you're the most accomplished cultivator.

Are you sacrificing

your supreme cultivation

and using your hard-earned freedom

only to hide

in the mountains and wilderness?

You're destined

to revive Kongsang.

I don't have the grand ambitions

that you have expected of me.

I only hope that from now on,

I don't let others down

and remain true to myself.

The urgent matter at hand

is to handle the matter

with the Evil Star.

The fate of the world

lies in your thoughts.

I'll do my best.

(Since I can make you leave

the priesthood,)

(what happens after this)

(is not up to you.)

Father,

I only said

what you asked me to.

So, you see?

Consort Qing indeed

couldn't find any reason

to accuse the Crimson Clan.

But unfortunately,

I couldn't hold myself back

in front of His Majesty.

Ouch!

- Don't move.

- Lie still.

- Stay still.

- Don't move.

Stay still.

I knew you would act up.

I've been cleaning up your mess

since you were a child.

I'm already used to it.

But this time,

you were too bold.

What if His Majesty gets angry

and beheads you?

Your impulsive nature

of speaking without thinking.

When can you change it?

Am I not fine now?

Father,

why is my room

exactly like the one

in Extreme Wind City?

It's because your father pities you.

He's worried

that you don't sleep well here.

So he turned this room

just like your room

in Extreme Wind City.

Father.

Mother.

Please don't worry about me anymore.

Don't worry.

I won't do it again.

All right.

As long as you remember this.

Don't forget what you said.

Your Lordship. Your Ladyship.

Lord Priest of Grand Preceptor

is here to visit Princess.

Master is here.

- Greetings, Priest of Grand Preceptor.

- Greetings, Priest of Grand Preceptor.

Your Lordship.

Your Ladyship.

It's my fault

for implicating your daughter.

You're her master

who saved her

from danger multiple times.

It's natural for Yan'er

to defend you

in front of His Majesty.

I've brought some medicine

from Jiuyi Mountain.

Thank you, Priest of Grand Preceptor.

Thank you.

Yan'er,

you mustn't behave like this anymore

in the future.

Don't worry.

His Majesty probably

won't want to see me again.

Master,

it's actually a good thing.

If others find out

that I dared to offend even the Emperor,

they won't trouble me anymore.

Here, drink the decoction.

Master,

I should do it myself.

My hands aren't injured.

Be careful.

Just let me do it.

Here, be careful.

Let me serve you instead.

My hand slipped.

Forgive me.

Stop!

I said

if you go any further,

you will

I told you to stop talking.

It's better to change into clean clothes.

Stop!

Master,

it's just some flesh wounds.

You don't have to worry too much about me.

There are already clues

about the Evil Star.

I was just about to tell you

that Keeper Yuan

is the one I've been searching for,

the one referred to by the Evil Star

as the Sea Emperor.

What?

Yuan is the Sea Emperor?

Yes,

I've confirmed it.

Over seven thousand years ago,

when Emperor Xingzun unified Yunhuang,

the Merfolk and Kongsang people

lived in peace.

But because the Merfolk Clan

lacked

a truly powerful leader

that they never rose to prominence.

The Sea Emperor became the only hope

for the Merfolk Clan.

We're uncertain

if the one Evil Star pointed out

is good or bad.

The Sea Emperor's attitude

becomes the key.

If he is

a cruel and warlike person,

the whole Yunhuang

will be engulfed in a w*r.

If he is

a compassionate person,

the two clans can continue

to live in peace.

Yan'er,

you know the Sea Emperor.

Based on your understanding of him,

what kind of person is he?

If Yuan is truly the Sea Emperor,

that means Evil Star

is a great sign to Kongsang

because he's

the most kind-hearted person,

he never speaks harshly to others.

Every year, he takes me

to release birds and animals.

Everyone in Extreme Wind City

knows that.

So you often accompany him

to release birds and animals, huh?

Yes.

Before I ascended Jiuyi Mountain,

we would go every year.

The same year I became your disciple,

we also released the Salang Eagle

Yan'er, are you all right?

I'm fine.

It's my fault

for getting too excited.

It's all my fault

that you suffered such a serious injury.

Yet, I kept asking you.

It's not that, Master.

Actually, the things you asked

are the things I've kept in my heart.

To others,

they may see Yuan

as just fulfilling his duties

as a keeper.

But only I know

the depth of his feelings.

In his heart,

I'm his friend,

younger sister,

and family.

Master, I'm Kongsang people.

If Yuan discriminates

against the Kongsang people,

he wouldn't have done

what he did.

I understand now.

Besides, I believe that good and evil

cannot be determined by race.

Just like

there are unscrupulous individuals

among the Kongsang people.

There are also righteous

and generous people

among the Merfolk.

So as long as you're willing

to sit down and talk with Yuan,

I believe

that the decision you two make

will bring happiness to the world

and blessings to Yunhuang.

I'm staying

in my mother's old house

in the east of the city.

If he's willing to come,

I'll prepare tea and await his arrival.

You rest well for now.

I'll come and visit you another day.

All right.

Yan'er,

if you like releasing animals,

I can accompany you after this.

What do you think?

Really?

Don't move too much

or the wound may come apart.

Or else drinking the bitter decoction

would be in vain.

You sure are insightful.

Isn't this Master White?

Today, let Master White

supervise you to rest well.

Master White.

Is this child really the Sea Emperor?

Logically speaking,

the dragon mark should appear

and fade after a month.

But why is there

not a trace of it on his body?

He refuses to admit

that he's the Sea Emperor.

So the dragon mark didn't appear.

That was how I was able to trick

the Priest of the Grand Preceptor

and make him believe

that I'm the Sea Emperor.

But the blood of the Sea Emperor in him

has already awakened.

That's why his high fever won't go away.

Then we should send him

to the nearby Quanke Village

for treatment.

I know

there's a highly skilled physician

in the village.

Ordinary Merfolk physicians

are of no use.

How could they heal

someone with the Dragon Blood's power

accumulated for seven thousand years?

Would the Sea Emperor be in danger?

Die.

The entire Merfolk marine force

deserves to die.

I'll k*ll all of you.

Why

Why is this child

saying such nonsense?

If I were his age

and witnessed my own mother

being k*lled

by the Merfolk marine force,

I would also consider

the Merfolk marine force

as lifelong enemies,

to be k*lled without mercy.

How could this happen?

Ruyi.

Deep down in your heart,

you also know Elder Jian's actions

are wrong

and you don't agree

with him causing

unnecessary sacrifices

of our Merfolk brethren.

Am I right?

But

Elder Jian has been leading

the Merfolk marine force

for hundreds of years.

They've never given up

on reviving our country.

Perhaps now that we've found the Sea Emperor,

everything will change.

They keep talking

about reviving the country.

But now,

the lives of countless Merfolk

like Sumo

were destroyed by them.

Sumo may be the Sea Emperor.

But he's still a child.

Ruyi,

I failed to protect you in the past.

But now, I want to protect him.

I absolutely cannot

let him fall into the hands

of the Merfolk marine force.

But this child's body

can't hold on for much longer.

If she makes a move,

Sumo will be saved.

Wipe them all out.

Young Lady, why are you up?

Have you forgotten

you're seriously injured?

Before my master left,

he transferred spiritual power to me

to heal my injuries.

I'm much better now.

I feel full of strength

throughout my body.

Is this for me?

Yes.

I picked this up at the door.
