Yan'er.

Master.

Are you sure you want to

give up your priesthood?

Yes.

I've made up my mind.

Won't you regret it?

Never.

I got it.

Master,

whatever decision you make,

I'll support you.

Yan'er,

you got it all?

That's what you were trying to tell me

the day before yesterday, isn't it?

I look forward to this day.

Yan'er,

since you already know my feelings,

I'll protect you

for the rest of your life.

What are you writing?

I'm writing a letter to Zhu Yan,

telling her where we are

and to come and visit me

when she has time.

Good.

You shall invite her

to attend our wedding then.

I

I'll write that in too.

Why are you writing bad things about me?

No, I'm not.

Give it back to me.

Give it back to me.

Give it back to me.

Quick.

Watch out.

Come on.

Priest of Grand Preceptor,

the camp of marine force

has already been cleared.

Our men will be evacuated by today.

It's finally done.

Do you miss your mother?

I miss her.

I want to avenge her.

It's not bitter in your heart

when you've got sugar in your mouth.

That's what you told me.

Sumo,

I'll teach you a magic technique.

When you Merfolk pass away,

your souls return to Biluo Sea.

We'll send it to your mother,

okay?

Thank you.

Sister.

(A lifetime together, never lose,

never forget, never be separated)

(Shi Ying, Zhu Yan)

(Why is the Evil Star lit up again?)

Look,

there's an extra star.

I think

I've seen something like this before.

I saw a star

suddenly light up.

I remember now.

It's in the cave I sent you

and your mother to.

Sumo.

Sumo,

what's wrong with you?

Sumo,

what's wrong with you?

(Clinic)

Sir,

please check on this kid.

What are you doing here?

There's a search

for the Merfolk in Ye City.

Get him out of here.

Please check on him.

I'll pay 10,000 golden pearl.

Let me check on him.

(Something's not right.)

(His bloodline has

a special power reserve.)

(This is the power

of the God of Dragon.)

(Is this boy

the Sea Emperor of the Merfolk?)

(That's why she's willing)

(to pay 10,000 golden pearl.)

Sir, how is he?

(She's wearing the Dragon Blood Jade.)

(The boy is definitely the Sea Emperor.)

So it's a Merfolk

practicing the magic techniques

of the Kongsang people.

He's really seeking death.

Magic techniques are second to none?

(Sumo must have been)

(eager to avenge his mother's death,)

(so he stole my book

of magic techniques.)

Miss,

the one you're wearing

should be a sacred relic

of the Merfolk Clan.

You can try to help him with it.

You mean this?

Yes.

Put it on his chest.

Sir,

what's going on?

This jade

contains true dragon's blood,

so it can save the lives of the Merfolk.

How about this, Miss?

I'll take the boy

to the second floor for

a further treatment.

I'll take him there.

It's okay.

I'll do it.

Please wait here.

I don't want anyone to interrupt.

Got it?

Thank you, sir.

This is what I should do.

What a kind physician.

Young Lady.

Young Lady, the physician said

no one's allowed in

while he's giving treatment.

Yes.

I'm feeling a little uneasy about it.

Don't worry.

I'm sure I won't make any noise.

I just want to see if he's awake.

Young Lady

Sumo's gone.

Young Lady.

Young Lady.

We must get Sumo back.

Is it true that

this kid is the Sea Emperor?

Yes.

His name is Sumo.

Somehow

he ended up in the hands

of the Crimson Clan's Princess.

I saw him

absorbing the Dragon Blood Jade

worn by the Crimson Clan's Princess.

There's only one drop

of true dragon's blood in the world

and only the Sea Emperor

who returned after

7,000 years can absorb it.

Isn't that right?

The dragon's blood identifies him,

and the dragon's mark reveals him.

But if the Sea Emperor

doesn't recognize his identity,

the dragon's mark will fade away.

I've tried my hardest

to get to you in time

for you to see the dragon's mark.

Don't forget to reward me handsomely.

So you're the Sea Emperor.

Sister.

Sister, where are you?

Sister, come and save me now.

Sister?

It's the Crimson Clan's Princess.

We have completed the deal.

I'll take my leave now.

Goodbye.

How dare a Kongsang man

try to make a deal with us Merfolk.

What is this place?

Let go of me!

Let go of me.

Guard the chamber.

I'll change his dreams.

Yes.

I'm going to fabricate the memory

of the Crimson Clan's Princess

abandoning him

to deepen his hatred for Kongsang people

and overwrite his previous memories.

We, the marine force,

don't need a Sea Emperor who's a traitor.

(Lord Left Envoy's something.)

(How dare he place

the hopes of the Sea Kingdom)

(in the hands of a Kongsang person)

(and trick us into

withdrawing our army.)

(Perhaps he's still indulging)

(in the illusion of

peaceful coexistence)

(between the two clans.)

We're a few hours away from success.

Elder Jian,

someone delivered this just now.

(Jialan City Map)

Jialan City Map.

Where is he?

He's gone.

He also left a message

saying that it would be useful to you

and that you would know who he was.

Could it be

that he's the one who sent

the Extreme Wind City Map then?

Who is he?

How does he know so many

Kongsang secrets?

Whoever he is,

we can use this opportunity

to attack Jialan City,

break the truce

and blame it on Zhi Yuan,

and then use Shi Ying

to get rid of Zhi Yuan who's a traitor.

Why did the Evil Star

suddenly light up last night

when it was already dim?

It's in the sky,

but it's not something dangerous.

Don't worry, Your Supreme Majesty.

You solved

this matter,

and earned a great deal of credit.

I am worried

that something unexpected will happen.

Your Supreme Majesty, look.

The Evil Star has turned into

a nebula of great evil in an instant.

What's going on here?

Judging from this,

the Evil Star will replace

the Kongsang Emperor Star

in 70 years,

and will destroy Kongsang.

Excuse me,

have you seen this boy?

No.

Madam,

excuse me.

Have you seen this boy?

No.

It's m*rder!

Thank you.

The marine force is here! Run now!

It's m*rder!

Run now!

The marine force is here.

The marine force is here.

Run now!

Run now!

Who are you?

Why do you hurt people?

Where's the Sea Emperor?

Go. Go.

Go home now.

Why?

Isn't there a truce?

Mother.

(The Merfolk in the Sea Emperor's care)

(are living in my old house.)

(No one can cause them any trouble.)

(Don't worry.)

Lord Immortal Official.

Thank you, Lord Immortal Official.

Thank you, Lord Immortal Official.

Please rise.

Go home now.

Ying,

the Evil Star is intensifying.

The marine force is on the rampage.

It seems

the Sea Emperor deceived you.

Your Supreme Majesty, please

return to the palace immediately

to protect the Emperor.

Chong Ming,

send a letter to Qing g*ng

and Bai Fenglin as soon as possible

and tell them to lead their troops

here immediately

to control the situation.

Got it.

The marine force isn't one of us,

and they won't submit to us.

You've already given them a chance.

I

will go to the Sea Emperor now.

Don't hurt my son!

No!

Mother!

Son!

You're liars!

Mother!

You're beasts!

k*ll them.

No!

Mother!

Mother!

No!

Stop it!

Why did you k*ll them?

I'm helping you, Lord Zhi.

The Evil Star has turned vicious.

So the Sea Emperor

must do something vicious.

You took Sumo

That's right.

We've taken back the Sea Emperor

from Kongsang people.

These people

and the people in the city,

they're all dead because of you.

You fantasize about peace.

Today, I will use their blood

to break your pact with Shi Ying.

These blind men

have been assimilated

by Kongsang people.

Anyone who offends the Sea Kingdom

shall be punished by death.

k*ll them.

No, Elder Jian!

Elder Jian!

Elder Jian.

Elder Jian.

Elder Jian.

Elder Jian.

Xi,

Priest of Grand Preceptor is on his way.

Take them away.

I'll hold him off.

Lord Zhi,

you've endured

so much suffering for us

so that we Merfolk can live

in peace and security as we did.

But they're

so cruel

that they don't care

about our life and death.

The marine force

is rotten to the core.

They deserve to die.

Lord Zhi,

just stay out of this mess.

Yeah, stay out of it.

Lord Zhi, stay out of it.

Madam,

I understand what you said.

But there are

millions of

innocent people like you

among the Merfolk.

How can I leave you behind?

There are many people

in the marine force

who have gone astray

under Elder Jian's influence.

Now the only way out

is for us to be united

and return to Biluo Sea.

I'm taking over the marine force

from today.

I'll protect my people.

You will all

follow my orders from now on.

From now on, we'll follow

your orders, Lord Zhi.

Lord Zhi,

Elder Jian is bent on

k*lling our people.

The marine force

is no match for Kongsang Army.

It's not going

to be easy for the Merfolk.

Sumo and the people

are waiting for you to come back

and straighten things out.

Lord Zhi,

take care!

Lord Zhi, take care.

Get up now.

Xi,

I'll leave it all to you.

Guys,

lead everyone to retreat with me.

- Yes.

- Yes.

Lord Zhi, take care.

Take care, Lord Zhi.

Lord Zhi, take care.

- Lord Zhi, take care.

- Lord Zhi, take care.

Did you

k*ll them?

(They did die because of me.)

You're the reason

the marine force broke the pact,

and the Evil Star rose.

(I can't let Shi Ying know about)

(Sumo's existence.)

It's me.

Alright.

You'll die for your crime.

(Sumo and the people)

(are waiting for you to come back

and straighten things out.)

(Lord Zhi,)

(take care.)

(No,)

(I can't die yet.)

Quick.

It ate the bait.

It ate the bait.

It's all my fault

for failing to be

a good judge of character.

I will avenge you.

Rest in peace.

Master.

Who did this?

Sea Emperor, Zhi Yuan.

Yuan?

Yan'er,

he's no longer

the Keeper Yuan you knew.

He's now

the Sea Emperor of the Merfolk.

When the interests

of the two clans clashed,

he sided with the marine force.

Master,

there must be a misunderstanding.

Yuan may have done this for some reason.

Stop it!

Yan'er,

today,

I don't want to hear any more

explanations about him.

I'm going to k*ll all Kongsang people!

I'm going to k*ll all Kongsang people!

No wonder the Evil Star

has turned vicious.

Dream alteration

can be quite harmful to people.

A slight mistake will

result in death or insanity.

He's just an immature kid.

k*ll them all.

I didn't expect Elder Jian

to be so heartless as to do this.

He's caught in a nightmare

that was deliberately created for him.

I wonder when he'll wake up.

If he sees the nightmare as reality,

even if he wakes up,

he'll be filled with hatred

for Kongsang people.

After the Evil Star turns vicious,

Shi Ying will not let

the Sea Emperor go.

Now that the w*r has resumed,

Kongsang people are in an uproar.

It's not safe

for the Merfolk to walk around,

whether they're in

the marine force or not.

Stay here

and look after Sumo for the time being.

Alright, Yuan.

As if facing an abyss.

As if facing an abyss.

Yuan.

Yan'er?

Yuan,

I had a hard time

following the paper crane to find you.

I don't believe you're going

to lead the marine force to w*r,

let alone k*ll

my master's former followers.

Elder Jian did all this

and passed the blame on to you,

didn't he?

Yan'er,

it's already happened.

Nothing I say is going to help.

The marine force started the w*r.

It's me who failed

to abide by the pact I made

with Priest of Grand Preceptor

and let him down.

I've k*lled Elder Jian.

I will try to get

the marine force to call a truce.

Yuan,

Elder Jian

had been in charge

for hundreds of years,

and his power is deep-rooted.

Will the marine force obey you?

I'm the Sea Emperor.

They'll obey me sooner or later.

Yan'er,

I'll do my best to make everything right.

You must believe in me.

I believe in you.

Right,

I took Sumo

to the physician a few days ago.

He was abducted by a man

named Shen Tu.

I couldn't find him with the paper crane.

(Right,)

(the paper crane can't get into)

(Merfolk's dungeon.)

Besides,

the Dragon Blood Jade you gave me

was also absorbed by Sumo.

(So that's how)

(Yan'er, Sumo)

(and the Dragon Blood Jade are related.)

(I can't let Yan'er know

how miserable Sumo is.)

Yuan.

I didn't expect so much to happen

in such a short time.

The situation is critical.

The physician

brought him back because he didn't want

the Merfolk's child to fall into

the hands of Kongsang people.

He meant well.

Is Sumo awake now?

Where is he?

Why don't you take me to see him?

I've

asked someone

to send him back to Biluo Sea.

The Merfolk is more at home

in the sea after all.

Actually,

I'd like to explain

something to Master

but I can't

see him now.

You don't have to explain.

You just have to trust

that I'll take care of everything.

What's wrong with you and your master?

Nothing.

Yuan.

Ruyi.

This is my younger sister, Ruyi.

This is the Crimson Clan's Princess

I've been telling you about, Zhu Yan.

Ruyi,

it's so good

to see you two reunited.

Princess Zhu Yan,

I've heard a lot about you

from my brother.

Thank you for taking care

of my brother all these years.

Yan'er,

regardless of the reasons behind the w*r,

now that the relationship

between the two clans

is so intense,

it would be inappropriate

for you to stay by my side

to avoid being used by someone

who has an evil intention.

That will cause harm

to the Crimson Residence.

And I'll be careful not

to let anyone know

that I used to be the housekeeper

of the Crimson Residence.

Alright.

It's a time of crisis.

Take care of yourselves.

Be careful.

Prince Shi Ying has arrived.

Your Majesty.

Spare the formalities

when you're with me.

Your Majesty.

I'm here to ask for forgiveness.

The marine force went back on their word

and resumed the w*r.

I believed them

and gave them time

to regain their strength.

It's all my fault, Your Majesty.

Things have come to this.

What do you think you can do about it?

Without the Sea Emperor,

the marine force

is like a scattering of sand.

I will do my best

to capture the Sea Emperor.

No.

I want you

to k*ll the Sea Emperor,

wipe out the marine force

and end this w*r

once and for all.

If the Sea Emperor doesn't die,

there will be more marine forces

to attack Kongsang.

As long as the Sea Emperor is alive,

the Merfolk will never give up.

The rise of Evil Star threatens

the peace of Kongsang.

It doesn't matter if the Sea Emperor

is a man or a woman,

old or young,

it doesn't matter

what his reasons are,

what matters is that

he must die.

This is the only way to dispel

the doubts of the officials,

relieve the anger of the people,

and stop the potential turmoil of the Merfolk.

(His Majesty's words may be biased,)

(but it's the only way to solve

the millennium-long chaos)

(caused by the marine force.)

Yes, Your Majesty.

I'll k*ll the Sea Emperor myself

not to get credit but

to atone for my mistake.

We all make mistakes.

If you can make it up in time,

it's not too late.

If I want to make up for it,

I have to admit my mistake

before the public,

not to mention

that there are some mistakes

that can't be made up for.

I shall take my leave now.

All these years,

we've been holding back here,

waiting for

the Evil Star to rise,

and the return of the Sea Emperor.

Guys,

our chance

has finally come.

This time,

we'll beat Kongsang!

Beat Kongsang!

Beat Kongsang!

Beat Kongsang!

What is our goal?

Restore our kingdom!

Restore our kingdom!

Restore our kingdom!

Restore our kingdom!

Is it the summon of Biluo Sea?

I've been wanting to go back

to Biluo Sea for a long time.

Guys,

why should we put up with

the suffering of w*r?

Do you want to go back to Biluo Sea?

We don't want a w*r.

What do you want?

We want to restore our kingdom.

We don't want a w*r.

Shut up!

We don't want a w*r.

You're lowering

the morale of the troops.

Do you want to live?

I'm the Sea Emperor, Zhi Yuan.

I never meant to start a fight

with Kongsang people.

I just want my clan

to have enough for a living.

Those who wish to return

to Biluo Sea to live in peace,

I will do everything in my power

to open a way out for all of you.

That's great.

That's great.

That's great.

We can finally go back.

We Merfolk are born on the sea

and our souls will return to Biluo sea.

We've been wandering

in the world of Kongsang people

for thousands of years.

It's time to return to our own land.

I'd like to return to Biluo Sea.

We'd like to return to Biluo Sea.

(Movement Information of Kongsong Army)

It's already 3 pm now.

Those who would like

to return to Biluo Sea,

come with me.

- Yes.

- Yes.

Search!

Over there. Quick.

Report!

General, we just found this.

There's no one here.

(Movement Information of Kongsong Army)

Come here and search.

Let's go over there.

General Qing, what have you found?

There's information about

our day's movements

in the camp of the marine force.

That's why

the battle with the marine force

dragged on lately.

It seems there's a spy

among our generals.

This is a very serious matter.

We must find this man.

He must be eliminated.

Why are you still

reading military books at this hour?

You're a woman,

do you wish to

lead the troops in battle?

You wouldn't have come to me

if you didn't have something to ask.

If you have something to say,

just say it.

Though our clan is large,

you and I are the only

two outstanding ones.

Father has passed on to me

the most precious treasure

of the clan, the Moon Blade.

If I can master it,

it means I have

the best magic techniques

of the White Clan.

We're bound together.

Together we glory, together we lose.

If something happens to me,

you won't just sit back

and do nothing, right?

I have left a military letter

in the hands of Qing g*ng

and I need you to retrieve it for me.

Since I am a woman

and can't lead troops

on the b*ttlefield,

I will not be involved

in military affairs.

I'm sorry that I can't help you.

Please leave now.

That's a coincidence.

I know you miss your mother so much

so I moved her memorial tablet

to a quiet place.

I thought once the w*r is over,

I'll take her memorial tablet

back to the house,

don't you want to?

Don't worry.

If you bring me back what I want,

I will fulfill your filial piety.

What do you want?

It's not something important.

It's just a piece of information

I accidentally left at Xichuan Camp.

Xichuan Camp?

You secretly sent information

to the marine force?

Why?

Because I don't want the w*r to end.

Only when the w*r lasts

will I be able to

call the shots with

my lucrative Jade Tears.

Only if the w*r is tough

will I be able to take the credit

for this battle.

Are you out of your mind, Bai Fenglin?

You're treating this w*r

like a child's play

for your own gain.

You've committed a heinous crime.

Xuelu.

You and I are on the same boat.

I am the White King's only son.

If I'm convicted for this,

do you think everyone in our family

can get away with it?

Except for your mother's

memorial tablet,

the lives of hundreds of people

in the residence are at your mercy.

Xuelu.

All I need is for you

to retrieve the thin sheet of paper for me.

If I get the letter back,

Qing g*ng will find out immediately

that you're the one who did it.

Words alone are no proof.

There's nothing he can do about me

without the evidence.

Xuelu,

you're a smart girl.

You should know

the pros and cons, right?

Just tell me

you'll do it or not.
