[Episode 18]
[Previously] Ding Ning, come with me to Deer Mountain for the Conference.
[Episode 18]
Is this how powerful your Qian Mountain Talisman is?
Is this the long sealed Qian Mountain Talisman?
The legend says, once the Talisman comes out, hundreds must die as offering.
- Now that Prime Minister takes out the Talisman, is he... - Teacher is using himself
as the the offering to Qian Mountain Talisman.
Teacher sealed the Qian Mountain Talisman for many years,
because this talisman exhausts a tremendous amount of core energy.
Whenever the Qian Mountain Talisman appears,
many people die, but they are actually our own people.
Now, Teacher is using himself as the offering.
He will exhaust all of his core energy.
At that time, Ying energy will flow into his body
and he will not be able to live.
Prime Minister Li, please reconsider. We are willing to be the offering.
Prime Minister Li, please reconsider.
Everyone shut up! Step down!
All this crying looks embarrassing.
This is Prime Minister Li's last fight. It's a battle of honor!
Let's watch it.
Isn't Lian Ing right in front of him?
Qian Mountain Talisam can direct the Ying energy to attack the senses.
Marquis Fang is probably already trapped inside an illusion.
Lian Ing! What are you waiting for?
That's the Dragon Scale Sword used to behead my royal brother. Hurry to make your kill.
Why did you sigh?
I was feeling sorry for Prime Minister Lian.
I didn't mean to disturb Your Majesty.
Then tell me, why did I sigh?
Congratulations, Your Majesty.
Once Lian Ing dies, Muo Kingdom will perish.
Old Prime Minister, why don't you show yourself to fight?
Marquis Fang is indeed valiant.
Teacher!
Lian Inq, your lone fight to the death
removed King of Heng's arm for the sake of our three kingdoms.
Please accept a bow from me.
Prime Minister Lian's defeat has embarrassed Muo Kingdom.
No one talks about fighting again.
Take Marquis Fang to receive medical treatment.
Yes.
Someone, go get Prime Minister Lian.
Bury him with a state funeral.
Take down Liang Shan County!
I volunteer to fight for Li Kingdom
to blunt King of Heng's sharpness.
General Li, I know that
you are good friends with Prime Minister Li. But our Li Kingdom cannot afford the fight.
Li Kingdom has only one Immortal Seal Sect. If we lose you, the Sect Leader,
who will I have to fight against enemies?
Your Majesty, if Prime Minister Li hadn't pleaded to have King of Muo to send forces to help us,
Li Kingdom probably would have perished already. How can we forget such grace from him?
There is no true love between countries. It's all about costs and benefits.
Besides, if Heng Kingdom attacks Muo Kingdom, they will have to go through our kingdom.
As long as Li Kingdom survives, it can hold back Heng's cavalry for Muo Kingdom.
This is the reason why the King of Muo sent forces to help us.
- Your Majesty. - Enough!
Your duty right now is to protect me.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Your Majesty, Teacher, I, Li Rui is willing to fight for Li Kingdom.
He is just at the Fifth Realm. It's not enough to even get laughed at.
Your Majesty, please forgive him.
I am the Eldest Disciple of Immortal Seal Sect, Li Rui, right now at the Fifth Realm.
- I would like to fight a talent from Heng Kingdom. - Who do you think you are?
You have only reached the Fifth Realm, and you dare to spew impertinence here?
Sit down.
Yes, Royal Father.
King of Li, Heng and Muo's masters have just finished fighting.
You now dispatch a Fifth-Realm kid. Is it to entertain us
or you can't afford a real fight?
Just as the King of Heng says, it's just to entertain for fun.
Your Majesty, we have strong fighters in Li Kingdom.
Shut up!
King of Li is so thoughtful.
I will also send over a youngster to have fun together.
Ding Ning, you go.
Thank you for your attention, Your Majesty.
But, I am only at the Third Realm.
And that man... he looks so strong.
I can tell...
you are afraid.
I'm not afraid, but
if I lose, it may embarrass Your Highness.
He is at Fifth Realm, you are at Third Realm.
It's normal that you'd lose.
But if you win?
Alright.
As it is, I'm willing to try it.
I've heard that Li Kingdom's Immortal Seal Sect is powerful.
Since it's the junior generation practicing with each other,
let's just fight to a limit of ten moves.
Yes, yes, good limit.
I'm the Eldest Disciple of Immortal Seal Sect of Li Kingdom, Li Rui.
May I ask, are you a disciple of Min Mountain Sword Sect?
I am a disciple at Green Vine's White Goat Cave,
Ding Ning, Third Realm.
Heng Kingdom is really denigrating us.
You actually sent over a lowly sect's disciple to fight me.
Fine.
If you can take three seals from me, I'll admit defeat.
Please.
Hurry and report to His Majesty!
Heng's military sneaked attacked Liang Shan County. Xian's forces were crushed. Liang Shan County is taken.
Your Majesty, why are you paying attention to the young disciple of Green Vine's White Goat Cave?
I am just detecting some interesting things.
Further, this is not the first time I've met this youngster.
King of Heng sent me to fight. He must be suspicious.
I must not let him see the truth in this battle.
I've heard Heng Kingdom is famous for swords. But you are using a broken sword.
You must be underestimating your enemy.
Ding Ning is in danger.
Blood Seal is formed by the practitioner's blood.
Li Rui's speed in forming the seal is fast, and his technique is smooth.
He is an outstanding disciple from the sect.
This seal's power is ten times of the previous move.
If Ding Ning doesn't run away, he will either die or get injured.
This youngster's strength isn't so low.
Why is he restraining himself in front of the King of Heng?
Why exactly?
Perhaps he is ordered by the King of Heng to hide his cultivation level.
Beloved Consort, look at the King of Heng.
Have you ever seen him looking so serious?
It's not what the King of Heng ordered?
But I don't really understand it.
What exactly is he hiding?
Enough! Don't hurt him!
This person previously rescued Great Heng's Crown Prince. Great Heng owes him for his grace.
If you hurt him, I will not allow you to leave Deer Mountain.
Thank you, Your Majesty, for saving me.
- Take him down for medical treatment. - Yes.
Reporting!
Your Majesty, Heng forces has sneak-attacked Liang Shan County.
What?
King of Heng, you are despicable!
The Conference isn't over, you've already dared to deploy troops to occupy Liang Shan County.
You don't seem to regard the accord seriously.
This news actually arrived later than I expected.
You are a king?
You've broken your promise. How dare you consider yourself king?
Old King of Xian, you are so forgetful.
Liang Shan County was borrowed, not gifted.
It was written clearly in the old Accord.
Besides, Liang Shan County originally belonged to Great Heng.
Today, our troops went into it, but didn't take one step into Xian Kingdom.
How have I broken my promise?
Ceding of Liang Shan County was clearly stated in the Accord.
King of Xian, you are up high in your throne, so you probably didn't see your soldiers
slaughtering our civilians in Liang Shan County.
It seems that your way to be a king, is just talking about it.
You appear to be righteous on the surface, but you actually commit deplorable wrongdoings.
I will make your Heng Kingdom lose the king today.
Come, fight with me!
Once the Heavenly Condemnation Sword is unshethed, you will only die.
Old King of Xian, even with the Heavenly Condemnation Sword in hand, you still aren't that powerful.
Eighth Realm.
Eighth Realm?
Love live Heng Kingdom! Love live Heng Kingdom!
Only Heng and Xian are the most powerful kingdoms in this world.
This Deer Mountain Conference,
let's just conclude it between the two of us.
I guess I am really old.
My skills aren't advanced anymore.
Without the help of Budhi Fruit, how certain are you about the trip to Deer Mountain?
I'm concerned that if Yuan Wu really has reached the Eighth Realm,
I would not be certain of winning.
Beloved Consort,
About a dozen years ago, Hui Kingdom was destroyed by Heng.
Hui's old allegiants used all their remaining strengths
to refine this elixir pill.
They gave it to me secretly, entrusting the Xian Kingdom
their last hope to restore their homeland.
There is cost and benefit to everything.
I hope you would never hide anything from me.
This is called Stealing Life Pill, meaning stealing life from Heaven.
The person who takes the pill will exhaust all of his core energy
and erupt a power that is beyond his cultivation realm.
But after his takes the pill, he will die soon.
If you don't take this pill, there is not a winning chance.
Beloved Consort, I was born to be king.
There shall come a day
when I will give everything to protect Great Xian.
What is the King of Xian holding in his hand?
Your Highness, it must be the legendary Stealing Life Pill that was refined by the Hui people.
It can take someone from the Seventh Realm into the Eighth Realm.
This pill is vicious. The pill taker will definitely die.
Come, I will respond to the King of Heng's invitation.
Come!
Old King of Xing, you deliberately used Liang Jingmeng's sword technique to fight me.
Do you think I would fear the Stone Mill Sword technique?
Aren't you afraid?
If you aren't afraid, why did you burn all the scrolls and archived books back then?
And why is Liang Jingmen's name never mentioned in the entire nation?
Remember this: I've never been afraid of Liang Jingmen!
In Great Heng, only my name needs to be remembered.
You are dilusional.
Your Stone Mill Sword technique is a lot worse than his.
I am just copying.
If he is here, he can definitely kill you.
Too bad he has already dissipated into ashes.
I believe the righteous will defeat evil.
Who do you think is the righteous?
One who is concerned with humanity and practices kind policies, is the righteous.
I am different from you.
People in the world have been suffering in chaotic times.
I use wars to bring peace to the world. Isn't this righteous too?
Your heartless ambition has resulted in endless wars.
The people have suffered greatly.
How dare you say your way is righteous.
Old King of Xian.
Deer Mountain Conference started because of Xian and Heng Kingdoms.
A king's one thought can affect the world.
Today,
how about you and I decide victory or loss with just one move?
Alright, let's do as you say.
I sure would like to see how the King of Heng
has suddenly discarded all fears.
This is Xian Kingdom's treasure, Thousand Questions Stone.
The King of Xian as actually refined it into his lifesource substance.
Such a divine treasure,
it's perfect for me to try my sword on.
- Your Majesty! - Royal Father!
Stop!
Royal Father, don't be angry. I just wanted to eradicate the King of Xian for you.
Step down.
- Your Majesty! - Royal Father!
- Your Majesty! - Your Majesty!
- Your Majesty! - Royal Father!
Your Majesty! Your Majesty!
Breaking Wind Sword Scripture.
I didn't expect
that I would lose to Ba Mountain Sword Academy's sword technique.
How dare you use Ba Mountain Sword Academy's sword technique?
King of Xian, Great Heng is mine.
The whole world is mine too.
What's wrong with me using what belongs to me?
This Deer Mountain Conference has helped me understand something.
If these three kingdoms aren't removed,
you will eventually find a chance to attack Great Heng.
The war will never end.
Therefore, I will gladly bear the title of a tyrant.
In the near future,
I shall personally command our army to trample all three kingdoms,
and bring peace to the world.
I left Fengming without permission, so I have come to ask Royal Mother for punishment.
It's fine that you've returned safely. I do not intend to punish.
Rise.
Thank you, Royal Mother.
I previously didn't understand Royal Father and Royal Mother's mindful thoughts.
If it weren't for Royal Father's teaching,
I probably still wouldn't understand the true meaning now.
Royal Mother doesn't punish me, but I want to ask for punishment.
What did your father tell you?
Royal Father said that there are great dangers in the Deer Mountain Conference.
If anything happens, he wants Elder Brother Han to fight in the battles,
and me and Royal Mother to hold the rear. Once Heng is strong again,
we will command the army to conquer Xian, Muo, Li kingdoms
to establish an empire.
See? Your Royal Father still regards you highly.
It looks like this trip has helped you gain a lot of experience.
Very good.
I heard that this trip was dangerous, and you were helped by a precious friend.
On my way to Deer Mountain, I was captured by that old bandit Zhou Rongmuo.
Luckily, Ding Ning was also there.
Zhou Rongmuo kidnapped the two of us, opened Wu Mountain's Smokey Rain Formation.
Thanks to Ding NIng being so smart. He not only saved me,
killed Zhong Rongmuo, and also ruined Old King of Xian's plan to become immortal.
It sounds like Ding Ning became a great contributor to Great Heng.
Where is he now?
Royal Father kept him to go to Deer Mountain Conference together.
Your father actually kept him by his side?
Yes.
Your Majesty, General Liang would like to meet.
Tell him to wait at the study.
Yes.
My son Chu, you've had an arduous trip, why don't you take some rest.
Yes. I bid you farewell.
The Crown Prince has had a strong impression of Ding Ning.
They happen to travel together this time.
Is there a scheme in it?
Speaking of schemes,
that General Liang is someone who can really scheme.
Liang Lian greets Your Majesty.
Rise, General.
Thank you, Your Majesty.
You've recovered Liang Shan County for His Majesty.
That is most meritorious. You are well deserved to be the commanding general of Great Heng's Tiger-Wolf Army.
Thank you, Your Majesty.
How do you regard my victory this time, Your Majesty?
General, it is your duty to fight for Great Heng.
Great Heng has always been fair with rewards and punishments.
General's victory
is clear to His Majesty and me.
Therefore, thank you, Your Majesty.
I will take my leave.
General, you were victorious this time. Did the Queen mention how to reward you?
Do you think
I would still trust her now?
All these things, if we want them,
we have to rely on ourselves
to take them with our own hands.
Ding Ning is deeper than he looks.
Even though he is by the King of Heng's side,
but he has ulterior motives.
Your Majesty.
Go to Heng Kingdom,
and give the Man King Jade to Ding Ning.
Remember... Remember to be absolutely secretive.
Yes.
Consort Xiang...
Your Majesty, Your Majesty.
Consort Xiang.
You... Help me sit up a little.
Consort Xiang.
- Your Majesty. - When I leave this time,
you must safeguard Xian Kingdom.
Tell...
Tell Prince Li Ling that
a king places the nation above all else.
Your Majesty.
Never, never do anything recklessly.
I know.
After I die,
before the new king ascends the throne,
do not hold the funeral,
to prevent chaos in the nation.
Yes.
Beloved Consort...
Beloved Consort, do you blame me?
Before I met Your Majesty,
I thought if I married someone
who would talk about love with me,
he would be a good husband.
It seems that I have
disappointed Consort Xiang.
A king places the nation above all else.
What I admire and love
is Your Majesty...
is Your Majesty's heart that cares about the world.
Your Majesty!
Your Majesty.
Beloved Consort.
Will you
sing a song for me?
Your Majesty.
Have you sent out the good news at Deer Mountain?
Your Majesty, please be assured. I have sent the news by pidgeon.
Your Majesty, may I see the wound?
That rascal Old King of Xian.
Someone who was about to die still gave me a big problem.
The Heavenly Questions Stone contains the core energy from the Stealing Life Pill.
The King of Xian knew he was no match to you.
So, right from the beginning, he was focusing on reducing your cultivation.
In side your body, the Heavenly Questions Stone
will clash with your Eighth-Realm cultivation.
It will reverse the core energy and make a mess of your meridians.
In your view, what should I do about it?
Fortunately, the Heavenly Questions Stone isn't a poison.
As long as Your Majesty enter seclusion to recuperate,
you will be able to force it out of your body.
Do not let anyone else know about this,
especially the Queen and Prince Han.
I obey.
[Bureau of Heavenly Supervision]
What are you doing here?
Why didn't you come last night as we agreed?
What if I went?
I would just be listening you give
more advice to keep myself safe.
Liang Lian has become suspicious of me after the Fish Market battle.
He just can't prove it for now.
How can you ensure your own safety?
I am just worried that
you are already under someone's monitoring.
That day, to help me at the Fish Market, you delayed your meeting with the Queen.
Bai Shanshui was able to escape. So you can't avoid being faulted.
You come to see me again today. Doesn't it arouse even more suspicion?
Since I've come already, I'm not afraid.
I'm only worried that if I am not by your side,
who would protect you?
The Queen has already
blamed the head of the Fish Market, so we can temporarily relax.
But if you are still lingering around traitors,
it would place your in extreme danger.
Besides, Fengming is just one place.
Even though I can counter for you at the Holy Capital Surveillance,
can you guarantee that
your Bureau of Heavenly Supervision is impenetrable?
Don't make any sound.
