Headmaster,

Liu Mubai framed me.

I’ll let that slide

but we must get rid of the mole,

or our sect will be doomed.

Please, Headmaster.

Mubai,

what do you have to say?

Tell us.

Take Liu Mubai into custody,

pending sentence.

Headmaster,

Liu Mubai set up the teleporting formation

and murdered Zhu Tian. It's irrefutable.

He shall be executed now

so that Zhu Tian will rest in peace.

The war is coming.

Death is a bad omen.

For the sake of the sect,

we’ll discuss this later.

Take him away.

-Yes. -Yes.

This teleporting formation is strange.

The center and stones are placed unusually.

Headmaster,

I love studying all kinds of formations.

Allow me to have a look.

If Black Dragon and his force break in,

that’ll be catastrophic.

Headmaster,

this matter...

It can wait.

You may leave now.

The Great Ruler

Episode 21

Ling Xi is stubborn.

She still doesn’t believe Liu Mubai is guilty.

Sir,

isn’t Liu Mubai in custody

according to Headmaster’s order?

Idiot!

Use your brain!

Sir,

I’m too dumb

to connect the dots.

In the war,

if there’s a traitor on our side,

what should we do?

Have him beheaded, of course.

Why didn’t Ling Xi kill Liu Mubai?

She said death is a bad omen

before the war.

You believe that?

It seems that

Ling Xi is punishing Liu Mubai,

but actually, she’s protecting him.

She can say the killer has been arrested

to stabilize the force,

and buy herself more time

to investigate it after the war.

I see.

But he’s been imprisoned...

Tell me,

what kind of people won’t talk?

Dead people.

Yes.

Once Liu Mubai is dead,

there will be no witness

and he’ll be the one to blame.

Problem is,

now he’s in prison

with guards outside.

It’s much more difficult to silence him.

On top of that,

he won’t be killed in the war

since he can’t get out.

I didn’t think any of that.

Lesson learned.

Other than Ling Xi,

that Shen Cangsheng

also tries to prove Liu Mubai’s innocence.

Luckily, I have leverage.

Liu Mubai did deliver the stone.

As long as I stick to my story,

Liu Mubai can’t pin it on me.

Alright.

Let’s just wait and see.

Qian’er,

I have Headmaster’s order.

You can’t be in for too long.

Thanks.

Mubai,

are you alright?

How come everyone calls you a mole?

What on earth happened?

Do you believe me?

I do.

Why...

Why didn’t you defend yourself?

Defend myself?

What’s the use of that?

Who’d believe me,

a down and out heir?

No.

Mr. Zhu Tian’s death,

the theft of the Space Stone,

and the construction of the teleporting formation

have nothing to do with you.

You found something?

Mubai,

you can tell me everything.

Say something.

I’ll prove your innocence.

You should leave.

I won’t.

Mubai.

Qian’er.

What happened?

Say it.

Let's go.

Answer my question!

Mubai,

I won’t leave.

Let’s go.

Mubai.

Mubai.

Come with me.

No!

Mubai.

Mubai.

Mubai.

Mubai.

Let go of me!

Mubai.

Mubai.

You're the mole!

We must get rid of the mole

so that Zhu Tian will rest in peace.

You're evil.

You lured us into the Dragon Palace to get killed.

I can’t believe you’re so heartless!

Headmaster,

I still don’t believe Liu Mubai would do that.

Cangsheng,

what makes you think

Liu Mubai is innocent?

During the Mu-Liu Battle,

he sacrificed his family

for justice.

That means he’s righteous.

He also stated

the teleporting formation could be rebuilt.

Were he the mole,

why would he tell us that?

Who do you think is the mole?

I...

I don’t know.

Right now,

only he has free access to our sect.

I gave him a chance to explain it,

but he didn’t say anything.

Perhaps...

Perhaps he did that for a reason.

What reason?

Is it worth it

to be called a mole?

Cangsheng,

I know you’re reluctant to admit

that Liu Mubai is our prime suspect,

but you once told me

that sometimes,

he acted strange.

Cangsheng,

I hope you can understand

that enemies are at the gate.

Whether he did it or not,

the public needs an answer,

or it’ll lower our morale

in war.

You have a point.

I didn’t think that much.

Don’t worry too much.

So far, there’s no evidence

against Liu Mubai.

He’s in custody for now,

pending further investigation after the war.

He won’t be wronged.

I’ll follow your order.

No objection at all.

We’re facing a war.

You’re the strongest we have.

Prepare yourself for it.

Rest assured.

I’ll guard the sect

with my life.

Mubai,

do you know

why I’m trying so hard to destroy Mu Territory?

It’s our biggest enemy.

Its existence

poses a threat to us.

Mu Feng is setting up the Devil-dissipating Circle

against Black Dragon,

but what if we're his real target?

-It’s not like that. -Remember,

once you choose a path,

you must stick to it

to see the light of hope.

Liu Mubai,

as long as I can breathe,

you won’t be able to restore Liu Territory

and be the young master.

The king of the world

is me.

And you...

can only be my stepping stone.

No!

I’m ordered to interrogate Liu Mubai alone.

You two wait outside.

Yes.

Stop!

I’m here to help you.

I end up like this all because of you.

You came to help me?

Listen,

no one in the sect

believes you now.

Even if you can avoid death penalty,

you’ll be condemned to life imprisonment.

Mark my word.

Before I die,

I’ll drag you down with me.

Has it ever crossed your mind

that why those people

didn’t even give you a chance to explain?

Shen Cangsheng also has free access.

How come no one suspects him

but only you?

Actually,

we’re of the same kind.

If you agree

to serve Evil Deity with me,

I’ll get you out.

That’s also your only chance to rebuild your land.

Lord,

troops are ready to move.

We can launch the attack anytime.

Go on.

Bring back Mu Chen's head

for me.

Yes.

Pass my order!

Set out to Mount Beicang.

Yes.

Wen Qingxuan,

I’ve lent the village to you.

Can you tell me

your plan now?

Follow me.

There’s a teleporting formation

exactly like this in the North Sect.

This way,

we can sneak in

and ambush them.

How did you do this?

I have a mole inside.

I borrowed the village

to build the formation.

Since we have this,

why did you tell me to dispatch my troops?

You tricked me!

This formation

can’t teleport your entire force

but only a unit.

The North Sect is guarded

by the Protection Circle.

We must attack from inside and outside.

Wen Qingxuan,

you did a lot

behind my back.

I didn’t tell you

because the time wasn’t right.

We’re both working for godfather.

Once we succeed,

the credit

will all go to you.

Headmaster,

troops of the Dragon Palace

are attacking Sky Sect

and Phoenix Sect.

Sage and Knight Sects are suffering heavy losses.

Go help others

to fight against the enemies.

Yes.

Headmaster,

Mo Xingtian’s troop has arrived at Mount Beicang.

Dragon slaves are outside.

Prepare the formation.

Yes.

Ye Sun’er,

hold Position Kun.

Yes.

Ye Qingling,

hold Position Zhen.

Yes.

Mu Ling,

hold Position Xun.

Yes.

Tang Qian’er,

hold Position Kan.

Yes.

Form it!

Dementors.

Yes.

Form the circle.

Yes.

Headmaster,

We're besieged by dragon slaves.

We must do something.

If we don’t launch the attack,

we’ll be walking straight

into despair.

Cangsheng,

you can’t go out alone.

I’m going with you.

You can’t.

You still need to guard the Protection Circle.

I can handle it alone.

Once I’m out,

close the gate immediately.

You want to get in?

Tell Black Dragon to come here himself.

Lord,

we failed to break in.

The vanguard is suffering heavy losses.

It's about time.

Tell Mo Xingtian to withdraw

and break into the North Sect with my men.

Your men?

Lord of Xue God Clan,

Xue Lingzi has arrived.

Xue Lingzi?

Black Dragon,

if you’re in trouble,

I can help you.

Headmaster,

Mo Xingtian has retreated.

Attacks on the other four sects have paused.

Their retreat is only temporary.

Black Dragon hasn’t shown up.

Don’t lower your guard.

Yes.

Headmaster,

we can’t always stay in defense.

The best defense is a good offense.

Mu Chen is our only hope.

I can finally see you again.

Mu Chen.

I’m glad you're fine.

You ingrate.

I almost worked myself to death

because of you.

How could you forget about me so soon?

Jiuyou,

I’d never forget about you.

I remember everything

you’ve done for me.

That’s more like it.

Sir,

thank you so much.

No need to thank me.

You've recovered.

It's time for you to leave.

Don’t forget

to visit me often.

You still need to teach me magic tricks.

Deal.

What happened?

Is something wrong

with the Protection Circle?

Black Dragon

must’ve advanced the attack.

No way! Impossible!

I created that circle.

Even Black Dragon

can’t break it so soon.

Headmaster,

they're in!

Mu Ling!

Mu Ling!

The teleporting formation isn’t destroyed.

He Yao,

it’s you!

It’s too late

to figure that out.

Liu Mubai was right.

Even if that formation was destroyed,

the mole would rebuild it.

We all wronged Mubai.

Kill them all!

Join the battle.

I’ll guard the formation.

Headmaster!

No.

Qian'er,

let Liu Mubai out.

Yes.

Ms. Ye,

disconnect the teleporting formation.

Yes.

Mubai.

Here.

He Yao,

He Yao is the mole.

You’re innocent.

Let's go.

Stop!

Liu Mubai,

what are you doing?

No!

There's such a beauty

in the North Sect.

You look cute even with a sword.

Miss,

you’ve seen it yourself.

This place is almost ruined.

This day

will be the deathday of your sect.

But don’t be afraid.

You can go back with me

and be my wife.

I’ll treat you well.

You're shameless!

Sun’er.

Sorry,

I’m late.

You have to walk over my dead body

before taking her away.

You?

Yes.

I’ll crush you.

Fine.

It hurts!

Qian'er.

Qian'er.

Qian'er.

Qian'er.

Liu Mubai,

we’re on the same side.

You forgot how you got out?

You forgot

what you had done to me?

You're ungrateful.

You're to blame

for what’s happening.

You think once I’m dead,

you can cover up the truth?

You want to kill me?

Can you?

You had a way out

but you didn’t take it.

You had this coming.

You’re having what Zhu Tian had.

Sadly, no one will end your pain.

Killing you...

is purely personal.

Don’t worry.

I'll handle the rest

for you.

You...

animal!

Are you OK, Mubai?

I’m fine.

Come here.

Hold your positions.

I’ll go check on Cangsheng.

Yes.

Shen Cangsheng,

why can’t you leave me alone?

Mo Xingtian,

over the past decades,

you’ve killed countless men.

So many innocent people died in your hands.

Now, you dare break into our sect!

I can’t let you go.

Shen Cangsheng,

you’re highly skilled.

Why don’t you join me

to command dragon slaves together?

If we join hands,

we can conquer this sect,

as well as

Beiling.

In your dreams!

You're vicious

and foolishly naive.

Surrender now!

You've had your chance.

I’m forced to do this.

Stop, Cangsheng.

He’s...

Black Dragon hasn’t appeared.

We don’t know if he’s a bait.

Inform everyone

to retreat to the arena.

Stop.

Headmaster,

please save Mubai.

What happened to him?

He Yao poisoned him.

Where is He Yao?

Mubai killed him.

His symptom is similar to Zhu Tian’s.

He Yao is the real murderer.

Mubai,

sorry, I wronged you.

My power

can soothe you for now

but you still need the antidote.

Thank you, Headmaster.

Mubai,

you killed He Yao

and avenged Zhu Tian’s death.

We all wronged you.

Don’t say that.

Let him rest first.

Give me the antidote.

I didn’t poison him.

Why are you asking me for the antidote?

Stop pretending.

You’re on the same side.

Of course you have it.

Save your breath.

Kill me now.

Stop!

Sister.

Shouldn’t you check with me

before killing my man?

Xue Lingzi!

Let her go.

I don’t want to be your enemy.

Let’s change hostages.

Release him.

I’m fine, Leader.

There’s no hatred between us.

Give me Luo Li

and Mu Chen,

then I’ll leave.

They’re my students.

I can’t give them to you.

Are you sure?

Take him away.

Yes.

I can walk myself.

Interesting.

Let me try your Protection Circle.

Headmaster!

You do live up

to your reputation!

Hadn’t you

supported the circle

with all your power,

you wouldn’t have got injured.

Listen,

hand over Luo Li

and Mu Chen,

then you can survive.

Headmaster!

You've used too much power

supporting the Protection Circle.

You can’t fight again.

The Protection Circle can’t collapse.

Lord,

Ling Xi was heavily injured by Xue Lingzi.

Power of the Protection Circle is weakened.

Pass my order.

Follow me

to wipe out the North Sect.

Yes.

Everyone,

Black Dragon has left.

Our goal

is to get the dragon egg.

No fighting unless necessary.

After it’s done,

we’ll leave immediately.

Can this solve

North Sect’s crisis?

5,000 years ago,

few dragons survived in the war

other than Black Dragon and White Dragon.

This dragon egg is the key to their rejuvenation.

It means the world to Black Dragon.

Mr. Mo,

guard the entrance.

No.

I can’t let you take risks in the Dragon Palace

while I do nothing

other than waiting outside.

Look,

we’ll have to use our power

to sneak in.

You have more power than any of us.

We’ll need you to build a teleporting formation

once we're out

so that we can go back safe and sound.

If...

If we don’t come out

in an hour,

just leave without us.

Mu Feng...

Let's go.
