Having been assigned Project Soul Hunt by Master Genshitenson,
my master went to Chouka,
and straight away, his stomach acted up.
But he didn't let his roiling stomach get the better of him.
He won a brilliant victory against the demon immortal, Chinto!
Chinto was houshined!
Now, we've set out on a serious search for allies,
and we're about to get dragged into a terrible incident.
No way! No way it's possible!
It can't be true! He's alive!
Thank you for making such long journeys to come here!
Dakki stayed up all night coming up with amusements.
Right?
It is good of all of you to come to Dakki's banquet.
Kyou Kanso, Lord of the East.
Ki Shou, Lord of the West.
Su Kouko, Lord of the North.
Gaku Su-u, Lord of the South.
As representative of Chouka, We thank you as well.
Your Majesty.
Now, now.
Don't look so serious and enjoy yourselves to the fullest!
What?
It cannot be. The water in this pond is rice wine?!
Yes! What do you think? Sets a wonderful mood, doesn't it?
Emperor Zhou!
You're so wonderful!
The people are starving even now.
How self-indulgent.
Did you just say something?
No, nothing at all.
Father...
Seiki Castle
Master!
Master, peaches! Peaches! They're growing over there.
Ah, good work.
Oh? Are you fishing?
Yes.
You shouldn't be doing this. A disciple shouldn't eat fish.
I know that.
It's only to kill time. It's nice and relaxing.
That's kind of pointless.
You sure we have time to idle around like this?
What the heck was that?
Dunno.
Those are...
The Paopei, Kenkonken.
And he...
He's also got flight Paopei, Fuukarin, on his feet.
What a guy.
Then, does that mean he's from the lmmortal World?
He's my son.
That's my son.
I'm the governor of Chintou Outpost. My name is Lisei.
And that is my son, the Paopei human,
Nataku.
Nataku?
I can't believe this. He was supposed to be dead.
Don't do it!
Master, why are we running too?!
What's the use of asking a question like that?!
Here it comes again!
Hey, let go!
Don't cast me off!
It's heavy.
I don't know what's going on,
but you should resolve your own problems by yourself!
He's coming! He's coming!
I told you to let go!
No way!
They're coming!
Turn right!
There's no way you can win a dogfight in the air!
Go into the forest!
But if I do that, I'll hit a tree!
They're coming again!
You idiot!
Go! Fly as low as you can!
We'll use the forest as a shield and dodge his attacks!
It's impossible! I'm scared! I'm going to crash!
Damn it, do something! If you don't fly now...
You're just a hippo.
I'll never get peaches for you ever again.
Idiot, hurry up!
All right! Go, Sibu!
Oh, you idiot disciple!
Master Genshitenson,
I, Youzen, have come as you requested.
Ah, thank you for coming. Now...
It is about Project Soul Hunt, correct?
You are quick to perceive, as always.
We have finally set it in motion. And so...
You are worried about Taikoubou.
Will he be able to complete the Project without fail?
Taking the words out of my mouth is not always a good thing.
Yes, Sir. Pardon me.
However, please do not worry.
Should something go wrong,
I already have backup plans in motion.
I see. In that case...
Yes, Sir. I will go see for myself
Taikoubou's aptitude, as well as the success of the entire Project.
I will be going now.
And I'm the one who's supposed to order you to do that!
Let me ask you one thing!
What might that be?
Why are you being attacked by a son who's supposed to be dead?!
Explain the reasons for these tremendous circumstances to me!
Well, it's nothing, really.
Just...
Just what?
Just that we don't get along.
What?!
You take life too lightly!
Why do we have to suffer so just for that?!
Enough! Stop this!
Did you invite us just to attend such boisterous merrymaking?!
If that is the case, this is abominable!
I agree.
Why, you...
What of a pond of rice wine?
On the way here, I saw how the people were faring.
The people of Chouka are starving.
People's hearts have become wild. They are practically dead already.
And you wallow in all this luxury without a thought for the people!
At this rate, not only will you lose the faith of the people,
but even your retainers will look down upon you!
That is because...
Oh, my party! And I stayed up all night for it too!
Dakki!
Are you all right, Dakki?!
This is Chintou Outpost.
It's an important outpost on the road between Chouka and the North.
Governor Lisei, all castle gates have been closed.
All right! And now that I have Master Taikoubou on my side too,
I can rest easy.
Hey, now. When did I say that I'd take your side?
Besides, how do you know my name?
I may not look it, but I once went to train in the lmmortal World.
I collect the autographs of all the major disciples.
But you failed and came right back, right?
Ah! Yinshi!
I almost got killed by Nataku again.
Oh, please! Nataku isn't really serious!
Dear, please be reasonable.
Oh, that's right. Yinshi, let me introduce you.
This is Master Taikoubou, a disciple of Mount Kunlun,
and his companion, the spiritual beast, Sibuxiang.
They helped me just now.
And this good man and good hippo are going to keep helping us.
I already told you not to decide things without consulting us!
My, you're so kind.
I am Yinshi. I'm Lisei's wife!
Nice-to-meet-you.
It's no good. I can't deal with this couple.
Hang in there, Master!
Dear, please don't close the castle gates.
It's not nice to Nataku,
especially since he came back to us now.
You know, he wants to kill me!
That's just because you act cold towards him!
But he's not human, you know! He has no heart!
Really, you go too far! He's just our delinquent son!
Just?! He died once!
He's got to be a monster to have come back to life again!
Oh, that's terrible! This is why he...
It was three years ago, on a very hot and humid day.
Isn't this fun, Nataku? It was three years ago, on a very hot and humid day.
Isn't this fun, Nataku?
Nataku, the wrap around your waist...
Your father said that was a Paopei too, but it's shining.
Nataku...
Who is it?!
Who is using a Paopei under water?!
A spiritual beast!
That cloth around your waist is Kontenryo, is it not?
Do you not know? That Paopei causes vibrations underwater!
Please forgive him!
Nataku is still an uncomprehending child! If only for that...
I will not!
Because of him, great harm has been done to the water life.
Woman, if you defend him,
you are guilty of neglectful supervision.
Therefore...
You will both be executed!
Please, no!
The spiritual beast that Nataku defeated
turned out to be the third son of the Aquatic Spiritual Beast King.
A few days later...
Child who killed my son, come out!
If you do not, I will blow up Chintou Outpost along with you!
I'll take care of all of this.
No, Nataku!
Great Spiritual Beast King!
As his parent, the guilt in this matter lies entirely within me!
Please punish me instead! I will accept any punishment!
You idiot! What are you saying?!
I will take responsibility as the head of the family!
You mustn't! You're the governor here!
Nataku!
What are you doing?! Stop!
Don't drag Yinshi further into this!
Mother...
Nataku...
Nataku, you just...
You called me Mother for the first time.
I return this body to you.
Nataku!
It is true that Nataku died once.
But he suddenly reappeared yesterday.
He was always a callous, brutal, cruel, unemotional monster anyway!
No wonder he came back to life.
Oh, how could you?! Why don't you rejoice a little?!
You know, how can I be happy about almost getting killed?!
Besides, what kind of son attacks his father with Paopei?!
There's one right over there.
What?
He's here!
Dear! Nataku!
Finish up before dinner, okay?!
I still say they're odd.
But he's a good kid.
A good kid?
Hey, Sibu.
No way!
Yes way!
I won't be responsible for what happens!
No problem. Just leave it to me.
Master Taikoubou!
A good kid?
Hey, Lisei!
I'll ask you one more time.
You actually did something to make your son hate you, didn't you?
No, I didn't.
He's hiding something.
Nataku, as a result of my consultation...
What consultation?!
I have decided to take Lisei's side!
If you want to kill Lisei, you must first defeat me!
Is that so?
Dakki, I never intended to have them killed.
No, these two did not defy me,
they were going against Your Majesty's wishes.
It is only natural that they be punished by death.
Emperor Zhou, I firmly resolve to serve Your Majesty and Yin,
with my life, if necessary.
This is what you intended from the beginning, is it not?
What are you talking about, Ki Shou?
The four of us were invited to the banquet only as a means to an end.
Your goal was to kill us from the very beginning
in order to weaken all of our countries at once.
And? What about you?
Emperor Zhou, I advise you.
Such a banquet as this is outrageous.
An emperor's position as an emperor
is solely dependent on whether the people recognize him as such.
That is enough, Lord Ki Shou.
Ki Shou is a truly loyal subject.
Execute him and you will leave an enormous blemish on Yin's history!
Duke Kou Hiko.
No, if you insist, there is no need.
So, it seems Kou Hiko's appearance is part of Dakki's calculations.
It is starting to get interesting. Don't you agree, Kokutenko?
I don't really understand, Shinkohyo.

Solitary Paopei human Nataku's Kenkonken assault Taikoubou.
Will Lisei and Yinshi be reconciled with their beloved son?
Ki Shou is now a prisoner.
Ki Shou's son, Hakuyuko, sets out for Chouka to save his father.
What will their fates be?
