The Sacred Ancestor's birthday is approaching.

(Luo Weijie, the Serpents' Leader) Are the sacrifices ready?

Chief Luo,

we always offer young girls

during the Sacred Ancestor's birthday.

We don't have girls

who fit the criteria in the village anymore.

Besides,

must we continue

(Zhang Lingling, Elder of the Serpents) such a wicked tradition?

How dare you!

Offering young girls to the Sacred Ancestor

is the only way to protect us!

Elder Zhang,

you have repeatedly raised objections.

Are you trying to rebel?

The clan is already short of women.

If this goes on,

the clan will become extinct!

You!

Elder Zhang,

you worry the clan will have no more women,

but are you not afraid of the Sacred Ancestor's wrath

that could wipe the clan out?

Since

we can't find a suitable sacrifice,

I think

we should follow custom.

Release the spirit.

It will decide.

Go.

The Sacred Ancestor's messenger.

Come in.

Don't be scared.

Mei, I'm here.

Give her to me.

Give her to me!

- No! - Let go!

Give her to me!

I'm begging you!

If we don't give her up,

we all have to die!

Please!

It's our honor to offer her to the Sacred Ancestor.

Mother.

- Thank you, Sacred Ancestor. - Mei!

Farewell, Elder.

- Mei! - Thank you.

- My daughter! - Thank you, Elder.

What's the point

of protecting a home like this?

Elder Zhang,

our informant reported

that a outsider male

has fallen into our forest trap.

He's locked in the dungeon now.

Let's take a look.

I have questions.

Don't you shout.

Outsider,

why are you in the Serpents' territory?

I didn't intend to barge in.

We were just on our way to Wujing City

and merely passing through.

Merely passing through?

But I heard

someone caused a big disturbance in the forest yesterday.

We were attacked in the forest

and had to defend ourselves.

He's a top assassin from Wujing,

and you escaped unscathed.

It's all thanks to my niece, Feng Zhilou,

that we're still alive.

We got separated somehow,

and I stumbled into your trap.

Please.

Do you know where my niece

is right now?

You're from Feng Manor?

Yes.

Elder!

I have no ill intentions!

Elder!

Elder!

Elder!

Elder!

Elder!

Find a time.

Elder!

Elder!

(What's going on?)

An offering to sir.

An offering to sir.

An offering to sir.

An offering to sir.

Zhilou.

Chu Moshang.

Zhilou.

Zhilou.

What just happened?

The forest miasma causes people to lose their senses

and fall into the nightmare of their deepest fear.

I'm late.

Sorry I made you worry.

So you know you were late.

Why did you take so long?

You already have nine spiritual roots

and all sorts of weapons,

yet you still managed to put yourself in danger.

Way to go.

Why're you mocking me again?

Uncle Qingyun's missing.

The miasma in this forest is especially evil.

You'll fall into an illusion if you're not careful.

I saw a group of girls

trapped together just now.

Chanting they were to be offered.

The Serpents have a mysterious cave

where a Sacred Ancestor who's never shown his face resides.

He watches over this territory

which is why the Serpents have been safe until now.

The miasma just now

was probably generated to ward off enemies.

Young Master.

We finally found you.

Fei Yuan, Bai Lu,

look for Mr. Qingyun.

Yes.

Leave it to me!

Let's wait here for a moment.

When do you think the Young Master will retrieve the sigil?

If he cant' bear to do it,

we can help him.

Young Master has his own plans.

It's not your place to interfere.

Mr. Qingyun!

Mr. Qingyun!

I feel like you've changed

compared to before.

But I've always looked like this.

I'm not talking about your appearance.

It's that you...

look

more like human.

You sure know how to give praises.

What happened

to that brother of yours who keeps trying

to kill you?

He has received his punishment.

I never knew

you were so articulate

in front of Father.

Moshang, what're you talking about?

I don't understand.

Father isn't here.

Drop the kind act.

If I hadn't

experienced your hatred myself,

and your talent for stabbing people in the back,

I would really doubt

if my memory was flawed.

If you're envious,

try to be like me the next time you make a mistake.

You still show no remorse

even now.

I was outmaneuvered this time.

I didn't expect someone

like Feng Zhilou to appear.

I just came to tell you

that no matter which of us becomes the Dragon King,

you will always be my brother.

This

will never change.

Don't act

all high and mighty to lecture me.

In Father

and the whole clan's eyes,

I don't even have the right to compete with you.

They only have eyes for you.

I don't need your pity,

and I certainly

don't need this brotherly affection.

So did you manage

to find the solution to retrieve the sigil?

Kill Feng Zhilou.

Retrieve the sigil

and marry the Wujing Saintess.

This is all you can do

right now.

Young Master.

How is it?

Did you find my uncle?

Miss Zhilou,

we didn't see any signs of Mr. Qingyun.

But don't worry,

we didn't find traces of struggle either.

Is someone there?

Save me.

Young Master,

there's a cry for help there.

Is someone there?

Where?

Please save me.

Save...

Save me.

Are you alright?

Don't be scared.

We won't hurt you.

What happened to you?

I...

was chosen as a sacrifice to the Sacred Ancestor.

I just managed to escape.

Please.

Help us.

She has a veil.

She must be from the Serpents.

Us?

Are you saying

there are other girls?

Many of them are much younger than me.

They...

are still children

but have to be offered as well.

Why is that?

It's the Serpents' tradition.

At every birthday of the Sacred Ancestor,

he...

he eats people.

What?

Could Mr. Qingyun have been eaten?

The Sacred Ancestor has a preference

and only eats young girls

chosen by the spirit among the villagers.

Heavens.

Where's that wretched creature now?

In the cave behind the altar.

Let's go now.

It's...

terrifying there.

Don't you fear death?

Fei Yuan, Bai Lu,

send her home first.

Yes.

Leave it to me.

This way.

To be raised...

only for procreation

or to be fed

to the Sacred Ancestor.

This reminds me of the women in the Feng Manor.

No freedom,

and at the mercy of others.

To me, this behavior

is akin to the Demons.

If that Sacred Ancestor

must use this method

to demonstrate his power,

then he is the evil incarnate.

This is unforgivable.

A lot have happened

after you left.

Father...

sacrificed himself

to save Feng Manor.

I want to look for Mother in Wujing City,

but Uncle Qingyue

has gone missing.

I still want to save those girls,

but I don't know

what to do now.

Don't worry.

I'm right here with you.

The heavens might not do anything for you,

but they will listen to your most sincere prayers.

It'll be a miracle

if you manage to resolve the issue with your brother.

I didn't mean to blame you for leaving.

What if...

I really am the Dragon God?

Just like you said.

The heavens might not do anything for me,

so...

I should make myself stronger.

Besides,

you always show up immediately

whenever I'm in danger.

♪Like petals fall, gone with the clouds♪

♪Like stars fade fast in open skies♪

♪Like snowflakes melting softly in the evening haze♪

♪Like your fleeting glance that gave me one brief dream's grace♪

♪Like fireflies flicker through wild grass, fleeting light♪

♪Like evening breeze that stirs soft hair in twilight♪

♪Like fleeting thoughts that surge and then unwind♪

♪Chance meetings fade, just empty rooms left behind♪

♪You brought a wave that stirred a wild, restless sea♪

♪Light as a feather, yet it sank an island deep in me♪

♪In that one moment, life's grip I couldn't break or sway♪

♪Leaving me lost in memories, small and fading away♪
