Pipi,
I'm going to Green Gorge, too.
Stay in the temple.
Don't do anything in vain.
The deal is sealed for Tang.
Uncle, please take care of Younger Brother.
Goodbye.
Sage,
please protect Tang State and the Academy.
Big Brother,
Second Brother,
Third Sister,
Tang Xiaotang,
I miss you all.
The whole world crusading against Tang is the general trend.
If Tang fights,
the whole country will be subjugated.
If Tang surrenders,
there will be a chance of survival.
King of Tang,
what is your plan?
I,
will fight.
Tang,
will fight.
Mother.
Very good.
What should we do now?
Trust.
Trust who?
Trust Tang.
Trust the Academy.
Trust Tang Army.
And,
trust your people.
Then why are you still so worried, Mother?
I just feel sorry
for the innocent people of Tang.
Don't worry, Mother.
After winning the war,
I will certainly exercise benevolence,
cut corvee and taxes,
and rehabilitate the people.
The people of the Tang will not suffer anymore.
That
is what a good King of Tang will do.
Mother,
where is Mr. Thirteen?
I want to discuss things with him.
Mr. thirteen
wanted to go home.
Your Majesty,
Here are some good snacks from BESTORE Shop.
These pecans are all carefully selected.
Your Majesty, please eat them.
You are exhausted today,
it's best for you to supply some nutrition.
You are free to go.
Yes.
Little Sixth.
Let's sit.
It will be a while before dinner,
let me peel some pine nuts for you.
Mother,
I remember
Father used to peel pine nuts for you.
Mother,
I will always be there for you.

# Just let me regret nothing #
Greetings, Sage.
# Just let me be myself #
# Evidenced by the night #

# Live for the war #
# Just let the terror be the demon in your heart #

- Youngest Brother! - Youngest Brother!
Youngest Brother!
Greetings, Third Sister.
Fifth Brother and Eighth Brother.
Come on,
Get up.
Long time no see,
you are still in good shape.
Don't forget to play chess with us.
Playing chess?
I'll pass.
It's good that you are back.
We all missed you.
Where is First Brother?
Does he know that I'm back in Tang?
Is he still looking for me everywhere?
By the way,
where is Pipi?
Pipi,
he's back to Zhishou Temple.
What about Second Brother?
Second Brother has gone to Green Gorge.
What about Fourth Brother, Sixth Brother,
Ninth Brother, Tenth Brother,
Seventh Sister and Eleventh Brother?
They went to defend the land of Tang.
I knew they wouldn't stand by.
But these people
never left the back hill of the Academy.
If you had come back earlier,
maybe you would see them again.
I also wanted to come back earlier,
but I was really busy.
I heard that
the new King of Tang thinks highly of you.
That's a good thing.
Guarding the capital city
depends on you.
Actually, this time I returned here
not only to visit Brothers and Sisters.
There is something more important for me to do,
which is getting the formation key.
Come with me.
Ning Que,
There's something wrong with the formation key,
What's wrong?
When the former King trusted the Academy
to keep the formation key safe,
we found out
there are several cracks on it.
And these cracks
are expanding.
It means that
God-Startling Formation
is very likely to have been damaged.
The war is coming.
We have to find a way
to repair God-Startling Formation as soon as possible.
This is the last barrier of Tang State.
But before Sage left,
he didn't teach me to repair God-Startling Formation.
Since Sage and Yanse Master
chose you as the guardian of God-Startling Formation.
They must have their own reasons.
You don't have to worry too much.
This is the map drawn by the First Brother,
perhaps,
it will help you to repair God-Startling Formation.
Your Majesty,
After the battle in Chengjing,
all borders of Tang suffered heavy losses,
On the western border,
Xuankong send out Qi Nian and other cultivationers.
The western border is in great danger.
Southern border battlefield Bulletin,
West Shrine's army will arrive in Green Gorge in a few days,
accompanied by
High Priest of Jurisdiction, Ye Hongyu,
And the best in the world,
Sword Saint Liu Bai,
from South Jin Sword Pavilion.
Silence!
If the Ministers have any questions,
we will discuss them later.
Don't interrupt now.
Mr. Zeng, please continue.
On the northeast border,
Chao Xiaoshu led the Armed Cavalry Battalion,
joining the local people,
formed a volunteer army.
Using attack tactics
strived to slow down the enemy's March.
They are getting more time for the defend of the capital.
Do you have any advice and suggestions, Ministers?
Your Majesty,
I think,
The armies of our Empire,
are all ready to fight.
Unfortunately,
there are still people who stand by
with their doors closed,
and refuse to take a stand,
Are you talking about the Academy?
I'm exactly talking about the Academy.
Now that Mr. Thirteen is here,
why don't you talk about the Academy's plan,
so that the people wouldn't be worried.
Greetings, Your Majesty.
Greetings, Your Highness the Queen Mother.
The Academy has its own plans,
You only need to know one thing,
The Academy belongs to Tang.
The Academy's duty is to guard Tang.
We will never stand by.
Let alone choosing to escape out of fear.
I have something important to discuss with Your Majesty.
Adjourn the session.
Long live our King!
Be careful, Your Majesty.
Your Majesty,
this is a map of the capital.
What's the matter?
Is there something wrong with God-Startling Formation?
Mother,
look.
The locations indicated in the map
perfectly matched the spots of changes in God-Startling Formation.
Did someone from the Academy draw this?
The whole Tang is doubting the Academy,
But they don't know what the academy has done for Tang.
The cracks in the formation key
suggests that God-Startling Formation went wrong.
So First Brother worked nonstop for more than ten days.
he walked through every corner of the city,
every place,
looking for the spots of abnormality
in the original Qi from the nature.
He drew this himself,
added annotation,
and provided feasible solutions.
But First Brother's plan
can only slow down the decline of God-Startling Formation,
it can't solve the fundamental problem.
If we want to repair God-Startling Formation,
we have to find the causes of problems as soon as possible.
Is it possible that He Mingchi did this?
Maybe.
But judging from the damage degree of God-Startling Formation,
it's not like what He Mingchi can do.
Mother,
If something goes wrong with God-Startling Formation,
the capital is no longer safe.
It's better for you
to stay in the back hill of the Academy for a while
for your safety.
After God-Startling Formation is repaired,
I will take you back to the palace.
No.
I will stay here with you.
But I'm worried about
those dirty means of the West Shrine's Hall.
It must be hard to guard against them.
Since their means are dirty,
we don't need to guard against them.
Besides,
we have Mr. thirteen,
and the Academy.
You are right, Mother.
As long as we have the Academy,
the capital city will never be broken.
Mr. thirteen,
can you tell us
where are people from the Academy now?
They all went where they should be,
guarding the territory of Tang.
I heard from Third Sister that
while the Academy was making the decision to join the war,
there are also some controversies.
This is a war to defend the Tang State.
It's only about the Tang people.
I'm from Tang.
I'm also from Tang.
This war
has nothing to do with you.
Go back.
Go back to your country.
I was born in the Badlands.
I don't belong to any country.
I can only stay in the Academy.
If Elder Sister stays, then I will stay, too.
And me.
Although we are both from Song,
we're going to stay with Second Brother.
Yes.
We are going to stay with Second Brother.
Song has declared war on Tang.
Just go home after you two finish this meal.
Seventh Sister,
You were just born Tang State.
Your parents are from Chen.
Now Chen State has declared war on Tang.
Are you going home after dinner?
You...
I only said that because I was worried about your family.
Seventh Sister said that for you own good.
She's afraid that you wouldn't be able to go home.
You guys...
The Academy is our home.
Listen to me,
if you meet Song Army on the battlefield,
what should you do?
Whatever Second Brother would do,
we would do the same.
That's right.
You certainly know how to play the instruments,
but you will have to face cavalry with heavy armor of West Shrine.
I think,
on the battlefield,
playing the instruments
is also interesting.
Right.
I want to ask you
if Sage was here,
what would he do?
I...I know,
Sage is not from Tang,
He is from Chen.
That's right,
Sage is from Chen, like me.
Sage is from Chen!
Good.
That's it.
Third, Fifth and Eight Brother,
stay in the Academy.
Fourth, Sixth, Seventh,
Ninth, Tenth and Eleventh Brother,
and Jun Mo,
you guys go to guard Green Gorge.
Yes.
First Brother,
you seem to have missed someone.
Who?
Yourself.
Me,
I like to fight alone.
Good.
Now,
we're going to do
the most important thing.
What's that?
Eat.
Finally, we get to eat.
It's finally time to eat.
Come on, eat.
The day after they made the decision,
they set out.
Who are still in the back hill of the Academy now?
Third Sister,
Fifth and Eighth Brother.
Why are they still staying in the back hill?
Because they know
Hierarch will go to take the formation key from the back hill.
On the South,
West Shrine's numerous allied army
with millions of soldiers,
and thousands of cultivationers.
all gathered outside Green Gorge.
It will take seven days
for South-Defending Army and Imperial Guards
to reach the South.
And before that,
there are only Second Brother and six others
to guard Green Gorge and back hill.
The Academy has been protecting Tang for thousands of years,
yet it's forgotten by the capital now.
So pathetic.
What a pity.
Such a beauty will not exist anymore.
Younger Brother,
why are there always daydreamers in this world?
Elder Brother,
it's not just daydreaming.
it's arrogance and ignorance, too.
Younger Brother,
How did such a arrogant and ignorant person
become the Hierarch of West Shrine?
Elder Brother,
what's so strange about that?
The selection criteria of West Shrine
is exactly arrogance and ignorance, right?
I'd like to see
who is arrogant and ignorant?
Formation of Dense Fog.
Disperse!
Formation of Dense Fog is broken.
Abandon the chess game,
merge the two rivals.
It's indeed a clever trick.
Unfortunately,
if you want to win with this,
wouldn't you be too sure of yourselves?
After all, with this game
ten pieces are missing.
And even if the thirteen disciples of the Academy
all gathered here,
it's just a little more work for me.
Now that the whole world crusades against Tang State,
how can West Shrine's Hall really believe
that the Academy will choose to stand by and watch?
I can even guess
where Mr. One and the others are headed to.
Even though millions of people must stop me,
if I want to go,
I will go.
Mr. One.
Qi Nian,
you're not my match.
You're really gonna make me kill?
Jun Mo is right.
Fighting
is hitting the most vulnerable spots of the enemy
with the hardest things.
You must strike with full force,
without any mercy.
Your weak spot is the calva.
Though your flesh is indestructible,
you can't withstand
my strike with full force.
Your dipper is broken, too.
It is a pity.
But it's worth it.
Temple Master,
you are late.
Because I wanted to see
whether the first disciple of the Academy,
taught with benevolence by Sage,
is going to kill.
So I came out late.
Fortunately, I didn't let you down.
After all, it's not something unexpected
that you wouldn't kill.
What I didn't expect was that
your journey to Stage of No-Distance
is even more smooth and steady than me.
Sage named me Slow Li,
it means to go slow and steady on the way of cultivation.
During all these years,
you've been too fast,
of course
it wouldn't be so steady.
Rumour has it that
you reach Stage of All-Seeing at dawn,
Stage of All-Knowing by dusk.
I wonder when you crossed the Fifth Stage.
It took me a little longer this time.
Three days.
War of No-Distance.
I don't think they are going back.
All the previous arrangements
are to make all the disciples of the Academy exhausted
running for life in Tang
so they wouldn't be united together,
leaving the capital empty.
Therefore,
I can reach the back hill with ease,
and take what I want.
What do you want?
Formation key.
Take formation key, break God-Startling Formation.
control the Academy,
seize capital city,
then destroy Tang.
This is my winning move.
What do you think?
We have been walking for so long,
are you tired?
Compared with Temple Master,
I am still young.
Aren't you tired?
I walk faster.
Temple Master,
you are really fast.
If I didn't find this wooden stick,
I really wouldn't know what to do.
Even if you've found the stick left by Sage.
you can only hold on for another seven days.
Even one more day
means a lot.
It's all destiny.
Why bother yourself?
There is no such thing as destiny in the world.
No one knows
what will happen in seven days.
Seven days later,
the Academy will no longer exist.
Sage is fighting in the sky,
as his disciples,
we will not let this happen.
It's really a surprise that
Kisei of South Jin, Mr. Song Qian,
is really cultivating in the back hill of the Academy.
Song Qian and Younger Brother
give you greetings, Hierarch.
I'm not nameless.
Just say my name.
Hierarch knows me,
but he doesn't know you.
It means
everyone knows that
my chess skill is better than you.
To understand God's design by the way of chessboard.
The two of you have surpassed Rotten-wood.
It's a pity...
...that you don't know what is real danger.
Today's Academy
is absolutely empty.
With no general,
no leader.
Only you two idiots who are crazy about chess,
plus a couple of animals.
How can you keep me here?
Even if you two
can keep me in this game,
how long will it last?
How can an animal become human against God's will?
As for human,
how can you go against God's will?
The Academy
will surely perish.
And Tang State
is going to perish, too.
For thousands of years,
the unfulfilled wish of countless sages of Taoism
will be realized by me today.
And I
will be the greatest Hierarch in the world of Light.
The Eighth Brother and me are enough to entertain you.
Why bother others?
You are too sure of yourselves.
If you lose your lives like this,
it would be a pity.
