3

[Episode 17]

4

The dead cannot live again.

5

In this world, there is as much sadness as there is happiness.

6

Just remember his goodness.

7

It will be enough.

8

- Auntie.

- Where did you go play again?

9

I was awakened by the bird this morning.

10

I went to beat up the birds.

11

If you were really asleep, even the barking from the wild dogs wouldn't wake you up.

12

You don't need to use this small trick in front of me anymore.

13

Auntie, you are really strong.

14

I knew she would scold me.

15

You must know about something.

16

Something big happened last night.

17

The Lord is very angry. The entire city is under curfew.

18

They are searching everywhere for the criminals.

19

You'd better not go out anywhere in the near future.

20

Not everyone recognizes you to be the princess.

21

I don't want to go find you if you are arrested.

22

Why would that happen? I am very obedient.

23

No wonder I saw many guards when I returned.

24

Auntie, what happened?

25

Even the Lord is upset?

26

It's not only the Lord is upset.

27

General Xi.

28

Do you want something?

29

You are wondering whether you can trust me.

30

There is a shared secret among the three of you.

31

You found a strange sword in the ancestral cemetery.

32

You then lost the sword inside the ancestral cemetery.

33

The ancestral cemetery is now flooded.

34

You want to ask me,

35

why is it that Bai Liyin became insane when he picked up the sword,

36

but the crown prince is fine.

37

It means the soul-devouring dragon sword of hell.

38

We call it Cangyu Guchi.

39

With regards to our Heavenly Samurai Regiment, it is the greatest sacred weapon.

40

Only the successive ruler can possess this sword.

41

It is paramount to the Heavenly Samurai Regiment.

42

It is even greater than your ferocious Tiger Teeth Spear.

43

Are you a Heavenly Samurai?

44

Child, in our mind, is a Heavenly Samurai someone

45

who always holds his weapon and charges at the front of the army?

46

It wouldn't be a passive man like me, am I right?

47

I know that you are a descendant of a Heavenly Samurai.

48

You're hiding a Heavenly Samurai finger guard on you.

49

Don't you know that it will bring you death?

50

But you still hide it with you.

51

You must have your reasons.

52

I'm sure your father has told you all about the Heavenly Samurai's history.

53

But there's still much more that I cannot tell you.

54

Your father once abandoned the Heavenly Samurai.

55

The Heavenly Samurai would not have looked for you in your whole life.

56

But ever since you entered the coffin chamber,

57

you came in contact with us again.

58

If you don't want to join us,

59

leave through the door behind me.

60

forget everything you heard today.

61

I believe that you won't sell us out.

62

But if you want to join us, you will bear a huge responsibility.

63

Your whole life will be very difficult.

64

I am willing.

65

Child, don't rush into a decision that affects your whole life.

66

I don't need much to decide.

67

I have made my decision.

68

I originally thought you'd become someone in the noble class with high honors and wealth.

69

I do want to be a noble with honors and wealth.

70

That's because, I fear that when I die

71

no one would remember me and I have achieved nothing.

72

General, the crown prince is here.

73

Get up, I will take you somewhere.

74

I am Yi Tianzhan.

75

The last surviving Iron Lord.

(One of the original seven leaders in the Leaders' Group)

76

The armor is still around.

77

The armor is still around.

78

Please rise.

79

Then, are you the new master of the sword?

80

I am not the sword's master.

81

I only represent him by releasing the eagle seal

82

to meet everyone.

83

Thirteen years.

84

Now that someone has become the new head of the Heavenly Samurai,

85

Don't you want to stand under the Eagle banner?

86

It's been 13 years.

87

I can only sleep when I use my weapon as a pillow.

88

I'm always afraid that someone will attack me in the dark.

89

Does King Tie really want us to assemble?

90

and risk being accused of treason?

91

Therefore, you lost your courage, right?

92

In the eyes of the royal family, we are still a group of traitors.

93

Without the royal family's respect,

94

what can we do with only a divine sword?

95

Therefore, you've lost your belief, right?

96

Yes.

97

The owner of the sword has arrived.

98

So the one who pulled the sword is General Xi.

99

I'm humbled.

100

The person who pulled the sword is the young man next to me,

101

Crown Prince of Qingyang, Lu Guichen.

102

- This...

- What of Qingyang?

103

Teacher.

104

This youngster is the owner of the sword?

105

How is it possible? Is this a joke?

106

How can the Heavenly Samurai be led by a child?

107

We have never had such a ruler.

108

Everyone,

109

General Xi and Iron Lord are exemplary.

110

But the matter of our ruler is of utmost important.

111

If this youngster really pulled out the divine sword,

112

then please show it in front of us.

113

Yes, that's right.

114

Everyone, I was the one who pulled out the sword.

115

It was perhaps an accident. I am not capable to become a grand ruler.

116

For hundreds of years, the Heavenly Samurai have fought against Northlanders' incursions.

117

How can we allow a Northerner to be our leader?

118

- Exactly.

- The Crown Prince of Qingyang is a Northerner.

119

Since the Crown Prince won't pull out the sword,

120

I will not force you.

121

But, everyone, the divine sword has chosen this young man.

122

Then he most possess grand courage and firm determination.

123

It is possible that he will save the Heavenly Samurai.

124

That still won't do.

125

What if the Northerners invade this land one day? How will he choose?

126

Right, that's right.

127

How will he decide? He's a Northerner.

128

How can we believe him?

129

No way.

130

Everyone, please listen to me.

131

I think everyone understands very well.

132

The Heavenly Samurai cannot afford to bear further turbulence and divisiveness.

133

All these years, Iron Lord has been searching for the divine sword and regrouping the remaining Samurai.

134

For that, he's paid with a cost that's unimaginable by regular people. What is the reason?

135

It's to renew the Heavenly Samurai's continued growth and to save the world from turmoil.

136

That's right.

137

We didn't expect that the divine sword would choose this young man.

138

But let's all think about it.

139

Since we are all wiling to sacrifice our lives,

140

so that Heavenly Samurai's duty may be passed down through generations,

141

why don't we give ourselves and this young man some time?

142

Your predecessors, during the worst of times,

143

held swords to fight to the death without regrets.

144

Yes.

145

Their bodies have already dissipated into ashes.

146

But in my heart, they have never died.

147

Because, their blood is still flowing unabated in our veins.

148

Since the sword has been pulled out,

149

then the Eagle banner shall be raised again.

150

Since it happened so unexpectedly and suddenly,

151

then fine, I will give you three days

152

to decide Heavenly Samurai's future right here.

153

Teacher, I...

154

Come.

155

Crown Prince, I want you to understand what the sword really is.

156

Cangyun Guchi sword isn't just a weapon to the Heavenly Samurai.

157

It has its own sentience and spirit.

158

It is a legacy that has passed down through hundreds of years among the Heavenly Samurai.

159

The person who is affirmed by the sword is the Chief Leader of the Heavenly Samurai.

160

You are that person.

161

Teacher, before I came to Eastland, I had no idea about the Heavenly Samurai as an entity.

162

Besides, those Heavenly Samurai would not accept me.

163

There are times when you don't choose destiny,

164

but destiny chooses you.

165

Teacher, you probably don't know. I've always been a passively moved along.

166

Whether it's becoming the crown prince of Qingyang, or coming to Eastland, it's been decided by fate.

167

I haven't done a good job at all.

168

So a person like me, I don't think, is capable of becoming the chief leader.

169

Crown Prince, I am a Heavenly Samurai.

170

I am also your teacher.

171

Regardless of whether you'll become the chief leader, you must understand the Heavenly Samurai.

172

The Heavenly Samurai Regiment is not a political faction, nor a religious power.

173

Wherever there is evil, the Heavenly Samurai will go there.

174

Regardless of changes in dynasties or time,

175

the Heavenly Samurai will use force to ensure peace.

176

I know, they changed history.

177

It's vain to seek glory by changing history.

178

Only when you enter the Heavenly Samurai will you understand true determination

179

is unbowed by failure, no fame, humiliation, and even denigration,

180

and will gladly accept without forgetting the original pledge.

181

My grandfather did it.

182

I can do it too.

183

Maybe this sword shouldn't even exist in this world.

184

Its appearance is congealed by blood.

185

The two edges are too sharp. You may hurt yourself.

186

But, the strongest weapon should be held in your own hand.

187

It cannot be taken by the enemies.

188

Crown Prince, no matter what decision you make,

189

I won't force you.

190

Because, joining the Heavenly Samurai means saying goodbye forever to easy comfort.

191

That's right, Asule. However you choose, don't be afraid.

192

There isn't anything that can't be solved in this world.

193

Even if there is, I will help you solve it.

194

Let's leave this place first.

195

We will discuss this matter again later.

196

There is talk outside the palace that the last iron lord of the Heavenly Samurai is returning.

197

Baili Yin couldn't bring out the sword for me.

198

All these years, I've misjudged.

199

Lord, General Tuoba would like to be summoned.

200

Ask him in.

201

Yes.

202

General Tuoba is summoned.

203

Greetings, Lord.

204

I have people searching about the sword in the city.

205

There is a big discovery.

206

Speak.

207

On the day when the ancestral tomb collapsed, soldiers from the Ghost Bat Camp saw at the nearby river banks,

208

there appeared to be three youngsters.

209

They looked to be the Crown Prince of Qingyang,

210

Prefecture Princess, and that kid named Ji Ye.

211

The Crown Prince of Qingyang?

212

Yes.

213

But we don't know who actually pulled out the sword.

214

When the soldiers saw the three of them, they didn't have the Cangyun Guchi sword.

215

There is only one divine sword.

216

Go find the sword and its new owner.

217

Yes.

218

Inside South Huai City, there have always been remnants of the Heavenly Samurai.

219

With the appearance of the Cangyun Guchi sword, they must have heard too.

220

Should we use this opportunity to eliminate all of them?

221

What plans do you have, General?

222

That kid named Ji Ye could be useful.

223

You are a messenger from God.

224

Do not forget your mission.

225

Bronze blood is born again

226

and is also chosen by God.

227

Crown Prince, at such a young age, you've become the chief leader of the Heavenly Samurai Regiment.

228

I am really impressed.

229

This doesn't seem to concern you, Ambassador of Li Sate.

230

Crown Prince, do you think I'm just a simple ambassador from Li State?

231

- You are the same as those Bare-Tooth Army.

- Same,

232

and also not the same.

233

Cangyun Guchi sword actually selected a Northlander

234

instead of a Heavenly Samurai as its master.

235

It's really amazing.

236

Crown Prince, you are weak now,

237

drink some tea and you should improve.

238

Older Sister Qin?

239

Crown Prince, you want to forget separation,

240

but you can't even be relieved of the anxiety brought by a cup of tea?

241

What have you done to me?

242

I didn't do anything to you.

243

An old friend of yours asked me to take good care of you.

244

You don't have to pretend anything with me.

245

Your group killed Suma.

246

We are confirmed to be enemies.

247

That was an accident.

248

In your life, haven't you had accidents?

249

Longge Zhenhuang's oldest daughter, Longge Qin.

250

She was your best friend other than Suma, right?

251

You grew up together and were close like sister and brother.

252

Longge Qin died when Qingyang Tribe destroyed Zhenyan Tribe in war.

253

You should recall now, Crown Prince.

254

Who was the one that kill the girl?

255

What do you mean?

256

No!

257

Don't!

258

What's the matter?

259

Crown Prince is in peril.

260

I saw it with my own eyes. Luo Ziyan kidnapped Crown Prince.

261

- When?

- Just now, in the streets.

262

Uncle, what do we do?

263

Luo Ziyan is a secretive person.

264

If you saw him, he must have deliberately let you.

265

They should be nearby.

266

Crown Prince, you don't need to be troubled by that matter.

267

Besides, you cannot control your killing nature.

268

It's not that you'd do it intentionally.

269

You are telling me that there is a demon living inside me, right?

270

I would not believe these sorcerous trickery from you.

271

So what if you don't believe it.

272

This is your fate.

273

Crown Prince, you probably have forgotten,

274

many years ago, when you were on the brink of death,

275

your teacher saved you.

276

but he had to sacrifice his own disciple's life.

277

You are by nature very kind.

278

But saving your life involves sacrificing another life.

279

In your eyes, is there any difference between you and the demonic killers like us?

280

You brought me here, isn't it for that sword?

281

I don't have the sword.

282

I would not give it to you, either.

283

Without someone to hold the sword, even the best sword is as worthless as rusted metal.

284

Then what do you really want to do?

285

What I want is very simple.

286

I want you to know what you really are, and then,

287

join us.

288

General Xi.

289

You've come so late at night. Are you asking about the people or the spirits?

290

Shunqing.

291

Is is really you?

292

Have you ever seen anyone else wear this purple gown?

293

This purple color reminds me of the blooming Purple Autumn Flowers at your garden.

294

Now the flowering season is over, but I am appearing by your side.

295

Crown Prince, have you thought it over?

296

You are supposed to be one of us.

297

Join Celestial Ministry, I will cure your illness.

298

I will not accept any help from Celestial Ministry.

299

If I really turn into a demon someday,

300

I will terminate my life with my own hand before that day.

301

Crown Prince, you are so stubborn.

302

I've underestimated you.

303

Why did you do this?

304

It doesn't matter if you are real

305

or an illusion,

306

to be able to see you again and say a few words,

307

I feel content.

308

Before, we didn't have enough time

309

for us to be intimate.

310

Now that I have fulfilled my wish, we have plenty of time.

311

Have you really let it go?

312

If so, the thing that you returned to me in the palace,

313

would you accept it again?

314

Of course.

315

This answer

316

is what I used to dream to hear.

317

I never expected it would come so easily from a fantasy vision.

318

Don't you believe me, General?

319

If she would give up her choice so easily,

320

how could I have stayed waiting so many years without getting what I wished?

321

You only have her outer skin,

322

but you don't have a single strand of her endurance and determination.

323

Crown Prince, if you think that the Heavenly Samurai are on the light's side,

324

we will let you go to the light.

325

Since you think I am evil

326

and Celestial Ministry is on the dark side,

327

then my life is yours.

328

Someday you will realize that

329

the ones in darkness are those that really care about you.

330

Crown Prince, you were born to be one with us.

331

Did the member of Celestial Ministry harm you?

332

I'm fine.

333

I've let you worry, Teacher.

334

Let's go.

335

Lord, General Xi would like to be summoned.

336

Summon him.

337

Greetings, Lord.

338

I heard that Luo Ziyan kidnapped the Crown Prince. How is the Crown Prince now?

339

When I rushed over there, he was already hurt by Luo Ziyan,

340

but he is fine.

341

He is resting at Guei Hong Building now.

342

It's good that he is fine.

343

Where is Luo Ziyan now?

344

He is dead already.

345

Also, his real identity is not ambassador of Li State.

346

After he died, it was just a Bare-Tooth skin covering.

347

Why did Luo Ziyan kidnap the Crown Prince?

348

My guess is that it's just like when the Crown Prince was assassinated when he first came,

349

it's a deliberate attempt to ruin our accord with Qingyang.

350

General Xi.

351

The ancestral tomb's collapse and the Crown Prince's kidnapping,

352

is there a connection?

353

I do not know. I have not been to the ancestral cemetery.

354

I do not dare to make unfounded guesses.

355

General Xi.

356

Take good care of the Crown Prince.

357

Do not allow any mistakes.

358

Yes.

359

Is the Crown Prince all right?

360

He is fine for now.

361

But I don't think Xi Yan told me everything about what happened.

362

From what I see, the collapse of the ancestral tomb, the theft of the divine sword,

363

and Luo Ziyan kidnapping the Crown Prince, these incidents happened so quickly in succession. It can't be coincidental.

364

If General Xi is involved. Based on his personality,

365

it's probably useless to ask him again.

366

He is nicknamed Fox General.

367

This is the time when I need reliable people.

368

It's fine as long as I can use him.

369

State Preceptor, there is another matter that you need to prepare in advance.

370

Please tell me, Lord.

371

The marriage accord between the Crown Prince and the Princess,

372

I want it carried out as soon as possible.

373

It's an unstable time now.

374

Perhaps we should find an alternate date?

375

Yin'er is gone. Lower Tang is encircled by wolves.

376

I need someone who is strong in holding a sword.

377

The day when the ancestral tomb collapsed,

378

was Yu Ran with the Crown Prince?

379

Auntie, you called me here. Is there anything important?

380

I can't call you here unless there is something important?

381

Lately there is a lot of unrest outside the palace. You are a Prefecture Princess now.

382

You should be extra careful.

383

What does being a Prefecture Princess have to do with leaving the palace?

384

I wouldn't put the title Prefecture Princess on my forehead to attract attention.

385

There were bandits that barged into Baili's ancestral tomb.

386

Have you heard of it?

387

It's made news all around the city.

388

Would you believe me if I said I didn't know?

389

Where were you that day?

390

I...

391

How long ago was this? How do I remember?

392

Let me think.

393

That day,

394

what was I doing?

395

Let me think.

396

I... on that day, what was I doing?

397

Oh yes, I remembered.

398

That way, I went to the little wine pub on Ziliang street.

399

I also...

400

I also went to the jewelry store in the market.

401

Yes, yes, I also rowed a boat.

402

I event hit...

403

hit the...

404

Was that Crown Prince with you?

405

We are good friends.

406

Of course we were together.

407

Then you are really careless. You don't even know that your friend has disappeared?

408

Asule has disappeared?

409

Then you should send people to look for him. He is the crown prince of Qingyang.

410

If you entered the ancestral tomb, would the matter be as simple as the Qingyang crown prince?

411

What are you talking about?

412

I don't understand.

413

Do you remember the large sign appearing in South Huai City recently?

414

No.

415

You and your good friend had better not be connected with the rebellious Heavenly Samurai.

416

Otherwise, no one can save you.

417

Auntie, let's go find Asule.

418

He has returned to the palace.

419

He is fine.

420

General Xi.

421

Where is the Crown Prince?

422

General Xi, the Crown Prince has stayed in his room after he returned.

423

Teacher.

424

Crown Prince, you seem to be in a low mood.

425

Everything Luo Ziyan told me was true.

426

I did all those things.

427

What did he say to you?

428

I showed me a vision of what really happened a long time ago.

429

It was me.

430

I killed my sister who raised me.

431

She was the closest person to me.

432

Crown Prince, don't forget.

433

Luo Ziyan is from the Celestial Ministry. He only wanted what he wanted.

434

It probably wasn't a real image.

435

I saw her die in front of me.

436

She looked at me with a smile,

437

slowly closed her eyes.

438

If this was real?

439

Whatever you are willing to believe is the truth.

440

Your sister has left us,

441

and will never return.

442

I cannot feel how you feel,

443

because I am not you.

444

But, I have a similar experience.

445

In my heart, I have always remembered someone.

446

She was my savior.

447

But later, I saw her

448

die in front of me.

449

Teacher, are you talking about Lady Su?

450

It doesn't matter who, they can only stay us for part of the journey.

451

The rest of the journey, regardless of difficulty,

452

you have to take it yourself.

453

Therefore, Crown Prince,

454

everyone has a past.

455

But you cannot let such a depressed feeling swallow you up.

456

the most evil ability that the Celestial Ministry possess is that they can discover your innermost pain and fear.

457

They also can induce you to sink deeply into it.

458

I would like to tell you a story.

459

You haven't eaten for a while, have you?

460

Today, we don't have to be formal as teacher and student.

461

While you eat, I will talk about it.

♫ There is no more worry in my heart ♫

466

♫ What should I sacrifice my precious life to? ♫

467

♫ I want to defend for your strength of character and revere our luxuriant homeland ♫

468

♫ I want to defend for your smooth future ♫

♫ We are brothers in life or death ♫

♫ I want to defend for your tears and dance with you in this mundane world ♫
