[Legend of Fuyao]
[Episode 62]
Crown Prince!
His Majesty said that you must kill the traitor of the imperial family
and announce it to the world as a warning to all!
You came after all.
Whatever the outcome of this battle
only one of us will live.
You have to make me a promise first.
I'm the one who initiated this rebellion.
Whatever the consequences, I should be the only one held responsible for it.
The others have nothing to do with it.
The comrades standing behind me have nothing to do with it.
Leave them a way out of this.
Let them have the career they should have.
I give you my word.
Good.
Bring it on.
Hold on. Where are they?
Who?
The people you care about are also the ones I care about.
I have never... and will never hurt them.
Uncle, your swordsmanship was once one of the best in Qiongcang.
I never had the chance to practice with you.
Let me see it for myself today.
Fu Yao!
Give it to me.
Give it to me! Now!
Give it to me.
Fu Yao!
Give it to me!
Empress, listen.
Fu Yao... I've already suffered the agony of being separated from my beloved.
I can't let my son go through such torment too.
Empress, listen to me.
There are thousands of women in the five kingdoms.
But Wu Ji has only one mother.
No!
Listen to me, give it to me.
Think of a way to find Wu Ji.
Tell him... tell him to save me.
Tell him everything that happened here.
Empress...
If only one of us gets to leave this place alive today...
it has to be you.
I've practiced martial arts since I was a child.
I've also been poisoned by quite a few drugs recently.
Not only did the poisons not kill me, they even enhanced my inner force.
Don't worry.
The poisonous gas here won't cause me any harm.
If you manage to get out of here, you can bring Wu Ji here to save me.
Don't do it, Fu Yao!
No! Fu Yao!
Fu Yao...
Fu Yao!
Fu Yao, are you all right?
Fu Yao!
I'm all right.
I'm taking you with me.
That's impossible. He...
He won't let both of us leave at the same time.
You have to leave now and get Wu Ji to save me.
Hang in there!
We'll definitely come save you!
Leave now!
Go!
You...
You're watching us, aren't you?
I know you're watching us.
You... you're not really out to kill any one of us.
I know that...
what you really want to kill... is Wu Ji's kindness.
I'm... I'm just an outsider.
I accidentally... stumbled into your plot and muddled it up.
Now...
Now that I'm dying...
I hope... I hope that you can let Wu Ji off.
Let him...
Let him hold onto the last bit of kindness in him.
Because...
Because you're the one he respects the most.
Wu Ji...
His Majesty ordered us to wait here to escort you, wherever you wish to go.
Where I wish to go?
I knew it...
It all went as you predicted.
Zhangsun Jiong.
However we struggled in this lifetime, we can't get away from your ploy.
If the tide can no longer be turned
I can only admit defeat.
Since you know where I'd go, we should get going.
Your Majesty.
Empress Yuan's carriage is heading towards Jiangbei now.
What about the other one?
She's unlikely... to survive.
Am I...
too ruthless?
Your Majesty is the emperor of the five kingdoms.
Whatever rewards or punishments you hand out
is for the sake of the five kingdoms.
As for your ruthlessness, it's also for the sake of the five kingdoms.
I had the honor of undergoing training in Qiongcang too.
But I didn't expect our swordsmanship to be so similar.
It's just that... I'm much older than you, after all.
Qiongcang not only teaches swordsmanship
but also teaches mental cultivation.
Uncle, why do you only remember the stances...
and forget the moral values of a subject and the fraternity between brothers?
Fraternity?
Your Majesty.
Master Duan has sent a message.
He said that the rebels have surrendered.
Prince De was captured by Crown Prince Wu Ji!
Did the crown prince kill him?
His Highness said that Prince De is a member of the imperial family, after all.
He'll leave it to Your Majesty to make the final judgment.
Convey my decree.
Execute him on the spot.
Yes.
- Quickly. - Your Majesty!
Your Majesty!
Your Majesty, get some rest.
Han Lin, leave me be.
- Convey my decree quickly! - Your Majesty...
Execute him on the spot!
Yes.
Send it... as an urgent decree!
Fu Yao...
Uncle... Uncle Zhou?
Yes.
Uncle Zhou!
Yes?
I...
Am I... am I dead, Uncle Zhou?
You won't die now that I'm here with you.
Uncle Zhou...
You're real.
Uncle Zhou!
You're not just an illusion!
- You're not an illusion. - No, I'm not.
This isn't an illusion.
Everything you witnessed in Mount Xuanyuan back then...
was what I wanted you to see.
There's still a lot that you don't know about.
I'll tell you about it slowly.
Uncle Zhou...
I... I really had such a hard time making it to this day.
I'm really exhausted.
Yes...
Whenever I felt like I couldn't go on anymore
I thought to myself... how I wish I could be with Uncle Zhou again.
I wanted to return to Mount Xuanyuan so much.
Where I had such carefree days...
But... but I knew that you were no longer there.
I could only keep striving on my own.
Uncle Zhou, I missed you so much.
I really missed you so much...
My child, listen to me.
Ever since you left Mount Xuanyuan
I've stayed by your side, watching over you.
No one understands better than I do
what you've been through and will have to go through.
Although you didn't notice my presence and I didn't interfere with your choices
I witnessed all the hardships and suffering you endured, my child.
I'm so happy that you made it so far.
All the hardships are worth it now that I get to see you again.
Don't leave me again, please?
I won't leave you. I won't.
Uncle Zhou, I have to go save someone.
I...
I have to be by his side.
All right, listen to me. Listen.
You're on the verge of death.
Why are you still worried about others?
But Wu Ji is--
I know.
Wu Ji's father wants Zhangsun Jia dead.
He wants Wu Ji to regret it for life
and you wish to stop that from happening, right?
Uncle Zhou... how did you...
In your current state, you can't go anywhere.
Why can't I go to him, Uncle Zhou?
This is a tribulation that both you and Wu Ji must go through.
You have to endure it.
Besides, you're too frail now.
Uncle Zhou, I have to save Wu Ji!
He needs me!
If I can't even control my fate, I might as well be dead!
- Behave! - Uncle Zhou!
I will definitely--
Fu Yao?
If I don't save you now, you'll die from Zhangsun Jiong's poison.
But if I am to save you, I'll have to seek help from the King of Muling.
You can no longer escape your fate then.
Taiyuan's Royal Bureau of Meteorology...
Tiansha's Ruins of Heaven’s Gate...
Xuanji's Purple Phoenix River...
Fu Yao...
Three tiers of your five-tier spell were lifted.
Before you set out to Qiongcang...
this tier of the spell belongs to Tianquan Kingdom.
It's about to be lifted off now.
So you're the successor of the quintuple-color pebble.
You were born an ordinary person.
You could've had an ordinary life.
But you were bestowed with another destiny.
Thousands of years ago, there was a war across the five kingdoms.
Although the Lord of Hellfire, Di Fei Tian, was defeated
he wasn't entirely vanquished.
The last drop of his blood coagulated into the quintuple-color pebble.
The quintuple-color pebble is guiding you to lift off the spell.
Once all five tiers of the spell are lifted
Di Fei Tian will be awakened.
Di Fei Tian's remnants have been waiting for a chance to strike.
They're calling out to you.
They're slowly turning you into the witch who will destroy the five kingdoms.
Your existence has given Di Fei Tian a chance to make his comeback.
Once the five-tier spell is fully lifted
he shall awaken.
You...
You'll become the culprit who casts the five kingdoms into despair.
Only your death can prevent all living beings
from suffering in a living hell again.
There's only one person in this world who can destroy you.
Who is that person?
Now that the power of hellfire is growing stronger within you...
he's the only one who can truly vanquish you.
For all of eternity, never to be resurrected.
Never to harm the world again.
He's the successor of the Leaf of Spiritual Elixir.
The Leaf of Spiritual Elixir is my personal belonging.
If you can take it from me, I'll help you lift the spell.
When did you steal it from me?
In any case, I win.
I'll be waiting.
You've finally come looking for me.
- You-- - Where's my Leaf of Spiritual Elixir?
The Leaf of Spiritual Elixir?
I told you before that the Leaf of Spiritual Elixir can reveal the truth.
I just want you to know how I truly feel about you.
There are things in here that are important to me.
My past, present, and future...
They're all in here.
I'm leaving them in your care.
So it was you.
It turns out...
that our love is ill-fated.
Are you prepared to accept the truth?
Since when did I get to decide anything in my life?
My life and death...
It isn't just about me.
If my death can bring peace to the five kingdoms...
I won't have any regrets.
Uncle Zhou...
Who exactly are you?
Me?
I'm the second of the Ten Saints, Sheng Ling.
I've spent my life traveling and stayed away from worldly affairs.
But I happened to find you by a river.
You had that quintuple-color pebble in your hands.
I knew what the appearance of the quintuple-color pebble indicated.
Because of a moment's compassion, I couldn't bring myself to kill you.
I felt that your fate shouldn't be decided by others.
Is that why you took me and hid in Mount Xuanyuan?
Yes.
The spiritual aura in Mount Xuanyuan can restrain the power of hellfire in you.
You could've lived a peaceful life there.
But I refused to lead such a life.
Uncle Zhou...
After all that I've been through, I don't regret any of it.
Although it was a perilous journey, I met the love of my life.
I saw the best scenery in the five kingdoms.
Even if I have to die...
I'm content.
Fu Yao...
Do you still remember this?
The gods chose this path for me.
They'll definitely watch over me.
I know I can't hold you back.
But you can't go without a weapon.
Take this.
Who cares about famous swords?
It can't be as good as this stove poker.
Can you swim?
A bit.
This is your stove poker.
This is the Changqing Dagger of Qiongcang.
Only one wooden shank is crafted every thousand years.
I don't have much to give you.
Just keep this dagger with you.
The successor of the Leaf of Spiritual Elixir is by your side.
If you kill him, no one can harm you.
If you don't kill him, you're fated to go down a rough path.
Fu Yao, I've told you all that I should.
The choice is yours.
I won't interfere with it.
Fu Yao, it's getting late.
No!
I've already transferred my lifetime of powers to you.
Because I raised you for 10 years.
A mentor for a day... is a father for a lifetime.
Farewell.
Never will I see you again.
Uncle Zhou...
Uncle Zhou!
Young Master, they've sent someone from the palace.
Tell me what the orders are.
His Majesty said that Prince De isn't to be pardoned.
He should be executed before the army
and that you should carry out the execution as a warning to all.
Young Master, you need not wait any longer.
Jiang Feng.
Present.
Prepare some wine and food.
Yes.
The imperial decree is to be read.
As decreed, Prince De, Zhangsun Jia, served the Imperial Court
and assisted in governing the nation for over 30 years.
He appeared to be an unparalleled scholar of Tianquan
but he was actually vying for reputation in politics
and personal gain in wealth.
He schemed and plotted.
He kept a private army and harbored ulterior motives.
He intended to rebel and rise in mutiny against his superior.
He has threatened the safety of the imperial Zhangsun family.
The traitor is rebellious, defying loyalty and filial piety.
He's neither benevolent nor righteous.
He broke the law and caused harm to the people.
It's the gravest sin of all.
He is not to be pardoned.
Based on records...
out of all the treacherous subjects and those without morals
no one can surpass him.
The crown prince is governing the nation and should build up his reputation.
Hence, Crown Prince, Zhangsun Wu Ji, is decreed
to execute the traitor before the army
to deter anyone else from following his footsteps
and to serve as a warning to descendants.
Respect the decree!
Disloyal and unfilial...
Unbenevolent and unrighteous.
"Gravest sin of all?"
My dear brother...
How could you even say that?
All these years, I've been loyal and faithful to Tianquan Kingdom.
How many scandals and disturbances have I handled for you?
In the end, I'm accused of...
being an sinner with no precedent?
Give a dog a bad name and hang it.
I gave my life to you and still, you have to trample over my corpse...
Just to please you.
A traitor is not to speak so impetuously!
How dare you insult the emperor!
What is it?
Master Duan could always add a few more crimes to the decree.
I'm already going down infamously.
Would I care about criticism from righteous officials?
Master Duan.
Your work here is done.
You are to step down now.
I've been ordered by His Majesty to supervise the execution.
I wouldn't dare to slack off on my task.
Master Duan, please step side then.
Just stand and watch.
The crown prince deserves credit for pacifying the rebellion
and he'll win the best reputation for executing the traitor.
He'll also win the people over in the best way.
Look.
They're all your men.
In the future, they will be your people.
If my head can win Crown Prince admiration and respect in the army...
It's all worthwhile.
It's worth it.
I certainly feel aggrieved to lose to Zhangsun Jiong.
But losing to you...
Even if what you said is right...
It's too late now.
Perhaps, generations later...
my name will be listed as the worst of all traitors in Tianquan Kingdom.
But Crown Prince, I hope you'll remember that...
I, Zhangsun Jia, have always led my life with a clear conscience.
Everything I did was for the sake of the people.
I'm an open book.
My conscience is clear.
Carry out the execution!
Hold it!
Greetings, Empress.
What are you doing here?
Empress Yuan is of prestigious status.
But she has demeaned herself by seeing a traitor off.
If this is made known to all, it will disgrace the imperial family.
Your Highness, please escort Empress Yuan away immediately.
How is this appropriate?
If my father asks about this...
I'll bear the responsibility.
Why would you do this to yourself?
I'm a man on the verge of death.
How am I worthy of your efforts?
