00:05:09.000 --> 00:05:10.980
so you really are still alive.
00:05:16.390 --> 00:05:17.580

that getting the Empress out of the palace
00:05:21.360 --> 00:05:23.540
would keep her safe?

to hand over his command.

along with shredded
pieces of His Majesty's robes.
00:18:09.200 --> 00:18:11.660
I'm afraid His Majesty is dead.

His Majesty truly is dead.

Impossible.

It's been so long and
he still hasn't shown up.

These past few days I've kept thinking.

he told me to leave with the Imperial Seal.
00:19:04.960 --> 00:19:06.380
It means he'd sensed

00:32:51.750 --> 00:32:54.100
just throw Li Chengtian into the prison?
00:32:54.640 --> 00:32:57.100
Let's see how tough
this old bone really is.
00:32:58.640 --> 00:33:00.180
If I do that now,
00:33:00.400 --> 00:33:02.820
I'd only grant him the
name of a loyal minister.
00:33:04.470 --> 00:33:07.490
By now, every courtier who
can be threatened or bought
00:33:07.510 --> 00:33:08.940
is already under my command.
00:33:09.880 --> 00:33:11.250
Those who still refuse to yield
00:33:11.400 --> 00:33:13.420
also serve my purposes
00:33:13.440 --> 00:33:14.970
thanks to Lingbi Sect's Heartbane.
00:33:17.640 --> 00:33:20.100
Only a few stubborn old bones are left.
00:33:21.600 --> 00:33:24.860
They are a deadly hidden threat.
00:33:27.750 --> 00:33:31.690
Why not ask the Saintess to
use the Heartbane on him as well?
00:33:31.710 --> 00:33:33.940
That pack of vermin is foul and stubborn,
00:33:33.960 --> 00:33:35.380
utterly unafraid of death!
00:33:35.750 --> 00:33:37.730
Even if I poison him,
00:33:38.230 --> 00:33:40.490
he'll most likely kill
himself to prove his loyalty.
00:33:51.880 --> 00:33:53.530
As for Li Chengtian,
00:33:54.680 --> 00:33:56.380
if he must die,
00:33:56.790 --> 00:34:00.580
I'll see that his death serves my ends.
00:34:05.460 --> 00:34:07.860
[Merciful Salvation]
00:34:17.550 --> 00:34:18.550
On guard!
00:34:43.590 --> 00:34:45.740
- Mr. Li! - Mr. Li!
00:34:46.360 --> 00:34:48.380
- Mr. Li! - Mr. Li!
00:34:49.470 --> 00:34:50.700
Mr. Li!
00:34:53.720 --> 00:34:54.720
Mr. Li!
00:34:57.620 --> 00:35:05.620
[One with Heaven and Earth]
00:35:08.590 --> 00:35:10.700
We respectfully greet the Saintess!
00:35:17.280 --> 00:35:18.320
Reporting to the Saintess,
00:35:18.400 --> 00:35:21.050
several of our branches
have been destroyed recently.
00:35:21.760 --> 00:35:22.760
They say...
00:35:23.470 --> 00:35:24.470
They say...
00:35:25.550 --> 00:35:26.550
Say what?
00:35:27.110 --> 00:35:28.446
They say the Ghost King has appeared,
00:35:28.470 --> 00:35:29.750
and heaven and earth are as one.
00:35:30.190 --> 00:35:32.010
And the Ghost King even beat us to it,
00:35:32.030 --> 00:35:33.510
completing the Nanrong Palace mission
00:35:33.670 --> 00:35:35.050
and killing Li Chengtian.
00:35:35.920 --> 00:35:37.490
How could a new Ghost King appear?
00:35:37.920 --> 00:35:40.450
Does he have the Moon-Eclipse on him?
00:35:41.150 --> 00:35:42.150
Yes.
00:35:42.280 --> 00:35:43.650
All those slain by him
00:35:44.150 --> 00:35:45.380
bear ghost markings.
00:35:46.150 --> 00:35:47.650
Only one who holds the Moon-Eclipse
00:35:47.760 --> 00:35:48.760
can do this.
00:35:58.360 --> 00:35:59.570
The Ghost King's return
00:36:00.590 --> 00:36:02.420
is the glory of Lingbi Sect!
00:36:07.140 --> 00:36:09.100
[Seven days earlier]
00:36:23.510 --> 00:36:25.860
Now the Saintess is using Du Tingxin's hand
00:36:26.000 --> 00:36:27.290
to endanger the whole court,
00:36:27.480 --> 00:36:28.650
even all of Great Qi.
00:36:29.160 --> 00:36:30.700
I've thought it through carefully.
00:36:31.200 --> 00:36:32.200
I stand in the light,
00:36:32.350 --> 00:36:33.576
and the Saintess hides in the dark.
00:36:33.600 --> 00:36:35.300
If we are to save everyone's lives,
00:36:35.870 --> 00:36:37.840
we must stage my death.
00:36:38.160 --> 00:36:39.160
Your Majesty,
00:36:39.240 --> 00:36:41.800
your body is already spent.
00:36:41.840 --> 00:36:43.400
You can't take much more.
00:36:43.550 --> 00:36:45.400
How can you possibly stand against them?
00:36:48.840 --> 00:36:51.330
The Moon-Eclipse is the Ghost King's token
00:36:51.910 --> 00:36:53.970
because it is both medicine and poison.
00:36:54.350 --> 00:36:56.250
It can heal wounds and save lives,
00:36:56.280 --> 00:36:58.410
and even strengthen one's inner power.
00:36:59.240 --> 00:37:02.630
But once it's used,
there is no turning back.
00:37:03.240 --> 00:37:06.580
It'll consume your essence
and shorten your life.
00:37:07.780 --> 00:37:09.300
When the poison seeps into your bones,
00:37:10.120 --> 00:37:12.390
it will destroy you.
00:37:53.510 --> 00:37:54.510
He is inside.
00:38:10.470 --> 00:38:11.530
Your Majesty has suffered.
00:38:13.070 --> 00:38:14.070
I'm fine.
00:38:14.990 --> 00:38:17.050
You truly have not betrayed my trust.
00:38:20.280 --> 00:38:22.080
I've followed Your
Majesty for so many years.
00:38:23.110 --> 00:38:25.010
I never believed you
would harm Princess Ying,
00:38:26.400 --> 00:38:27.960
nor that you would seek your own death.
00:38:28.440 --> 00:38:29.736
So your leap from Phoenix Terrace
00:38:29.760 --> 00:38:31.300
must have been your plan to escape.
00:38:31.920 --> 00:38:33.240
As soon as Eunuch Feng sent word,
00:38:33.550 --> 00:38:35.526
I immediately activated
the Xiaoxing secret guards
00:38:35.550 --> 00:38:36.590
and learned you were here.
00:38:45.320 --> 00:38:46.050
Commander Li,
00:38:46.070 --> 00:38:48.130
head to the meeting spot
outside the Capital now,
00:38:48.150 --> 00:38:49.970
activate the Xiaoxing secret guards,
00:38:49.990 --> 00:38:50.900
locate His Majesty,
00:38:50.920 --> 00:38:51.970
and await his command.
00:38:54.920 --> 00:38:55.920
Take care.
00:39:14.110 --> 00:39:15.700
How are things at court?
00:39:15.840 --> 00:39:17.280
Everything is just as you predicted.
00:39:17.400 --> 00:39:18.650
Although everyone believes
00:39:18.720 --> 00:39:20.820
you couldn't have
survived in the Qining River,
00:39:20.990 --> 00:39:22.420
the upright elder ministers
00:39:22.470 --> 00:39:23.736
still invoked the ancestral rules
00:39:23.760 --> 00:39:25.216
to block the Prince of
Yuzhang from taking the throne.
00:39:25.240 --> 00:39:27.216
Even the Imperial Preceptor
can do nothing about it.
00:39:27.240 --> 00:39:28.240
So,
00:39:28.440 --> 00:39:29.820
they're focusing all their efforts
00:39:29.840 --> 00:39:31.420
on searching for my body.
00:39:31.990 --> 00:39:32.990
Good.
00:39:33.670 --> 00:39:34.670
Next,
00:39:34.960 --> 00:39:37.900
I'll use my identity as the Ghost
King to lure the Saintess out.
00:39:38.110 --> 00:39:38.570
Your Majesty...
00:39:38.590 --> 00:39:40.810
Becoming the Ghost
King with the Moon-Eclipse
00:39:41.190 --> 00:39:42.940
is a choice I made long ago.
00:39:44.240 --> 00:39:45.860
You've given too much for Great Qi.
00:39:45.880 --> 00:39:47.340
I am answerable to the world,
00:39:47.590 --> 00:39:49.170
and to every subject of Great Qi.
00:39:49.920 --> 00:39:51.450
It's only Cangcang I've failed.
00:39:52.360 --> 00:39:53.610
How is Cangcang?
00:39:54.360 --> 00:39:55.610
The Empress is safe and sound.
00:39:57.720 --> 00:39:58.720
I never imagined
00:39:59.390 --> 00:40:00.410
that meeting Cangcang,
00:40:01.030 --> 00:40:02.030
killing Li Lu,
00:40:02.320 --> 00:40:03.520
and obtaining the Moon-Eclipse
00:40:04.070 --> 00:40:06.940
were all fated from the start.
00:40:10.440 --> 00:40:11.780
Whatever you plan to do,
00:40:12.150 --> 00:40:13.900
I'll surely advance and retreat with you.
00:40:15.320 --> 00:40:16.320
Cangcang,
00:40:17.400 --> 00:40:19.340
her roots run deep in the palace.
00:40:19.800 --> 00:40:21.119
If I move against her,
00:40:21.120 --> 00:40:23.120
it'll surely trigger a mad backlash.
00:40:24.630 --> 00:40:26.170
Only by getting you safely away
00:40:26.920 --> 00:40:28.520
can I stake everything on one last move.
00:40:30.470 --> 00:40:31.470
I'm sorry.
00:40:31.720 --> 00:40:32.720
Bai!
00:41:08.550 --> 00:41:09.550
Are you there?
00:41:19.840 --> 00:41:20.840
Don't worry.
00:41:21.310 --> 00:41:22.610
I believe in you.
00:41:24.760 --> 00:41:26.170
I'll wait for you to come back.
00:41:45.990 --> 00:41:47.420
Thanks for looking after me, sir.
00:41:47.590 --> 00:41:49.490
I'll repay your kindness someday.
00:42:23.190 --> 00:42:24.190
Let's go.
00:42:27.510 --> 00:42:29.296
Are those wearing ghost
masks from Lingbi Sect?
00:42:29.320 --> 00:42:30.320
They are.
00:42:30.590 --> 00:42:33.170
I hear Lingbi Sect is no
small thing these days.
00:42:33.360 --> 00:42:34.530
They're recruiting men,
00:42:34.550 --> 00:42:35.940
growing stronger and stronger.
00:42:36.400 --> 00:42:37.300
But hasn't Lingbi Sect
00:42:37.320 --> 00:42:39.300
been suppressed by
the court for over a year?
00:42:39.440 --> 00:42:41.420
And they still dare to
swagger around like this?
00:42:42.320 --> 00:42:43.940
Word is the Lingbi Saintess
00:42:43.960 --> 00:42:45.340
has returned from the far south,
00:42:45.400 --> 00:42:47.490
and even latched onto the court.
00:42:47.960 --> 00:42:49.170
Truly chaotic times.
00:42:49.920 --> 00:42:51.490
The court itself is a mess.
00:42:51.630 --> 00:42:53.300
The Emperor and Empress are both ill.
00:42:53.360 --> 00:42:54.530
A prince is acting as Regent.
00:42:56.110 --> 00:42:57.650
Could she be the Lingbi Saintess?
00:42:58.190 --> 00:42:59.190
Hush.
00:42:59.440 --> 00:43:01.050
Come on, have some tea.
00:43:05.840 --> 00:43:07.340
My father planted spies in the palace.
00:43:07.360 --> 00:43:08.360
How many are left?
00:43:08.670 --> 00:43:09.856
I don't know the exact number.
00:43:09.880 --> 00:43:11.740
Grand Tutor Ling laid many hidden pieces,
00:43:12.070 --> 00:43:13.310
and even I don't know them all.
00:43:13.550 --> 00:43:15.050
Then how am I supposed to find them?
00:43:16.550 --> 00:43:17.340
Me?
00:43:17.360 --> 00:43:17.970
Right.
00:43:17.990 --> 00:43:19.010
The key lies with you.
00:43:20.440 --> 00:43:21.450
What do you mean?
00:43:21.630 --> 00:43:23.670
Before Grand Tutor Ling
was killed at Fayun Temple,
00:43:24.320 --> 00:43:25.860
he secretly summoned us.
00:43:25.960 --> 00:43:27.080
If anything happened to him,
00:43:27.360 --> 00:43:28.936
Fayun Temple would
sound the bell as a warning,
00:43:28.960 --> 00:43:31.010
and we were all to follow your lead.
00:43:35.070 --> 00:43:36.070
All right.
00:43:36.360 --> 00:43:37.170
How do we meet them?
00:43:37.190 --> 00:43:38.416
Three days after the mourning period,
00:43:38.440 --> 00:43:39.440
