[Mirror: A Tale of Twin Cities]

[Episode 33]

Did you hear that sound?

Stranded Dragon Abyss is right up ahead.

We have to hurry and break the dragon deity seal.

Otherwise, when the Cangliu arrive, it will be much harder to deal with.

Okay, let's go.

[Cangyu Province]

At the time, I wasn't paying attention, I thought we were arresting someone with a weapon. [Cangyu Province]

They didn't have any weapons so we let them into the city.

Please forgive me, General Yu.

I'm still a step too late...

The city guards were negligent in their duties.

Punish according to military code.

General Yu, it isn't because we were negligent.

The moment I realized they were the two on the arrest warrants— - Take him away.

General Yu. General Yu!

This punishment is too severe!

They didn't let just anyone get away. It was the Emperor of the Sea.

Bai Ying and Su Mo have already arrived.

They will definitely go straight to the Stranded Dragon Abyss.

Then, what should we do next?

Take your soldiers and head immediately for the Stranded Dragon Abyss.

Remember, take the mountain path by the river.

Don't touch any source of water.

Why? - I have my reasons.

How about you?

I'll come later.

Yes, General Yu.

Everyone, listen up!

Immediately follow me to the Stranded Dragon Abyss to capture the Emperor of the Sea!

Yes, Sir!

General Yu, why are we staying?

You stay here. Don't follow me.

[Stranded Dragon Abyss]

This is Stranded Dragon Abyss?

Back in the day, King Xing Zun captured the Dragon God

and cut a line in the ground.

He locked the Dragon God here.

I can feel a surge of anger.

The power of despair.

Through thousands of years, no one has been able to break the barrier.

I'll go first. You wait here.

No, we already talked about this.

He's poisoning the river?

Su Mo, no matter how fast you swim,

it can't be faster than this river.

This poison acts too quickly.

The poison is so potent although I should be fine after taking the antidote.

General Yu, what's wrong?

Yunhuang's rare poison, Algae of Red Ghost.

You were just poisoned?

I have the antidote.

I told you not to follow me. Why didn't you obey?

I was worried about you.

- Let's go. - Yes, sir.

Do not enter the water. It's poisoned with the Algae of Red Ghost.

Someone's over there. I'll go check it out.

Don't worry about it. If you touch the water, it'll hurt you.

Let's go.

A'Ying!

As we were coming down, the fog was causing me to hallucinate.

Don't worry, I'm here.

Strange... Why can't we find the lock?

Let's split up and search.

A'Ying.

Remember.

[Cangyu Province]

We've already arrived at the Cangyu Province boundary.

The path ahead is heavily guarded. Let's use the water route.

Should we wait for the Left Commissioner and the others?

Rest awhile. If Yanxi hasn't made it by then, we move without him.

It's all that Central Plains girl's fault. She's not familiar with water, yet still tags along.

- Otherwise, it'd be so much quicker if we could take the water route. - Out of line.

Let's not wait anymore. Into the water.

Yanxi knows the route.

Right Commissioner, there are cracks on the sound pearl from Xiao's transmission.

I don't know if there's still any sound.

[Cangyu Province]

Don't...

Don't...

It's Xiao's voice.

But I only heard "don't."

Was Mo Xiaofei discovered while transmitting the pearl

so the sound pearl was damaged.

It's possible.

Maybe she's trying to warn us not to go to the Stranded Dragon Abyss?

Then wouldn't Young Master be in a lot of danger?

Then let's take the water route.

Let's go.

Yan Xi, we have been following the markers left by Ning Liang.

Why haven't we bumped into them yet?

Could something have happened to them?

That couldn't be. Let's just speed up.

All right.

- How do you feel? - Much better.

Ning Liang!

Yan Xi!

- Ning Liang. - What's going on?

We've been poisoned.

Cangliu set up a checkpoint here

and forced us into the water. They threw something toxic into the water.

- What kind of poison is this? It's too cruel!

This should be the Algae of Red Ghost.

Algae of Red Ghost?

What happens after being poisoned?

This poison is in the water.

When anyone goes into the water, they come into contact with the poison.

Their bodies will petrify and they'll die from the pain.

Right now, from the look of it, all the water in Cangyu Province has this poison in it.

The people of Cangliu are too cruel.

Is there an antidote for this poison?

The person who did this must have the antidote.

Let's go then.

What's wrong?

We have spies in Cangliu's military camp.

Why didn't we receive any information?

I received a sound pearl from Xiao,

but the sound pearl was damaged.

All right. I'll definitely get the antidote.

Let's go.

Be careful. Sit over here.

Why is this fog still not clearing?

Emperor of the Sea, save us.

Save us! Save us!

Emperor of the Sea!

Emperor of the Sea. Emperor of the Sea!

Emperor of the Sea, the King of Kongsang has killed his way to the Bilou Sea already.

He said... He said that Princess Ya Ran poisoned Queen Bai Wei.

He said he'd flatten Quanxian to get revenge for the wueen.

If you want to use an army to suppress others, why send an army without a name?

Was that an illusion just now?

Why does it seem so real?

Su Mo!

Su Mo!

Su Mo, is that you?

Su Mo.

Su Mo, did you find Stranded Dragon Abyss?

The fog here is very strange.

Let's look for Stranded Dragon Abyss now.

Su Mo,

did you sense me because I knocked twice on the Sunlight Blocking Pearl?

That's why you came to find me?

Yes. Let's go.

You aren't Su Mo.

Who are you? Why are you impersonating him?

I'm Su Mo.

Without the dragon deity's protection,

from now on, the Quanxian will

obey for generations to come.

If you kill the Quanxian today,

Kongsang will be destroyed later by others.

This constant going back and forth,

when will it stop?

What are you doing?

You are no longer the A'Lang that I used to know.

The kind astrologer A'Lang who grew up with me.

You've turned into the Heavenly King that I don't know anymore.

I'll return this Earth Ring

to you.

The Earth Ring belongs to the queen!

How can we own Heaven and Earth?

For generations, the seven seas have been the home of the Quanxian.

Yuhuang is the home of many lives.

How could it belong only to you?

Stop with this obsession!

Let me go!

Who are you exactly?

I am you.

Are you an illusion or something else?

I'm not an illusion.

I'm the one who came to end you.

Today, I shall take back everything that belongs to me.

Su Mo!

Bai Ying!

Bai Ying!

Who was that?

He knows the shape-changing technique.

It appears that he was waiting for us on purpose.

Could he be someone sent by Lord Zhi Zhe?

I'm not sure.

Anyway, this place is very strange.

It always has delusional illusions.

Just now, I was also caught up in an illusion from life in the past.

Illusion from life in the past?

I saw that over 7,000 years ago,

the Heavenly King and Queen Bai Wei were here at the Stranded Dragon Abyss.

I also saw how Queen Bai Wei...

died.

What was the story in the illusion?

Queen Bai Wei was...

was murdered.

But I didn't see the final result yet.

Maybe this was an illusion, too.

You are saying that you saw Queen Bai Wei.

Did Queen Bai Wei resemble me?

Yes.

No wonder. Previously at the Jing Pagoda,

Zhi Zhe called me A'Wei.

Not only that, Zhen Lan and the Heavenly King,

Chun Huang and I, we all look exactly the same.

Looks like the Stranded Dragon Abyss didn't only seal the dragon deity,

but also concealed secrets from 7,000 years ago.

In your opinion, we look so much like them,

do you think there is

some mysterious connection between us and them?

Bai Ying, you are you.

Even if the two people resemble each other,

you are still two different people.

You have different fates. Without knowing the truth yet,

don't get lost in anything that happens here.

What's the matter with you?

Bai Ying isn't safe here.

If she is really related to Bai Wei...

Let's go.

[Cangyu Province - Cangliu Military Camp]

[Stranded Dragon Abyss]

Even though we are superior and subordinate, we don't need to be so rigidly formal.

Is the Algae of Red Ghost your handiwork?

It has nothing to do with her. She spends all day with you. I have never had a chance to speak with her.

You can leave.

Yes.

Who told you?

Many people have seen merpeople corpses by the riverside that were already petrified.

That's only what the merpeople in the camp said.

Yu Huan!

When we were young, I was simply a little young master who bullied servants all day long in the mansion.

A... playboy. You harshly disciplined me, hit me, and woke me up.

- That's why I followed you into Ruosong Hall to become a Cangliu warrior. - Get to the point.

The point is that you disdain such crude tricks as poisoning.

Why have you changed...

from the Yu Huan that I used to admire.

Just be yourself. You don't need to admire me. I haven't changed, either.

You have changed!

In the past, when you'd watch Nan Zhao slaughter merpeople, you would've helped them as I would.

Do you know how many innocent lives will be killed by the Algae of Red Ghost?

Innocent?

Fei Lian...

those people are our enemies.

Su Mo has already obtained the Splitting Sword.

What? Are you going to wait until he calls out the dragon deity?

You can either formulate battle strategies with me

or if you don't want to,

go patrol the camp.

I'll go patrol then.

Why are there so many guards?

How are we going to get in later?

I'll help you divert their attention, and you can enter invisibly.

It's you. You're Ting's older sister.

Are you all right?

Yu Huan poisoned the river with the Algae of Red Ghost.

I sent a message to you, why are you still going into the water?

Ning Liang received the sound pearl, but it was damaged.

We didn't receive the complete message.

No wonder. I was going to distract Fei Lian while he was drunk

and send out the message again.

- Then... where is the antidote? - It's with Yu Huan.

Yu Huan? Doesn't that make it more difficult?

I have an idea, but you both must coordinate with me.

What's your idea?

Guards! I caught a spy!

- How come it is him? Hurry. If Fei Lian gets closer,

you won't be able to get away.

Xiao!

Xiao!

- What happened? - I still pushed Xiao into the water.

She should have been poisoned by the Algae of Red Ghost.

It's not easy to fool Yu Huan.

If you didn't do it for real

with other people as witnesses, Yu Huan wouldn't believe it at all.

But this time, it's for real and there are witnesses.

Fei Lian seemed to have seen me.

Fei Lian? Are you sure he saw you clearly?

I don't know, but I could see him clearly.

Would he think that Xiao and I are on the same side, acting to trick them to get the antidote?

Oh no, oh no! The effort was all wasted and Xiao got injured for nothing.

Don't worry just yet. Even if Fei Lian saw you clearly,

he might not think it's a scheme.

Besides, the way Cangliu people see it, Xiao is a Quanxian traitor.

It makes sense that you would hurt her.

Right now, we can only wait patiently to see what happens.

Yu Huan, you have the antidote. Hurry and give it to Xiao!

What happened exactly?

I caught a spy.

I was going to bring her to the camp,

but, unexpectedly, she pushed me into the river... and escaped.

Did you see the spy clearly?

I didn't get a chance to look at her clearly, she kept struggling.

How about you? Did you see clearly?

I only vaguely saw a woman. She was probably a merperson who was scouting the route.

Merperson?

How can a merperson escape so easily from under your eyes?

That merperson ran really fast.

Besides, Xiao fell into the water and I needed to save her.

Other than me, there were a lot of soldiers who saw Xiao get pushed into the river.

Guards.

Yes, sir.

Did any of you see Xiao being pushed into the water by a spy?

General, I saw it with my own eyes. Xiao caught a spy,

that spy pushed Xiao into the water and then suddenly disappeared.

The other patrol units also saw it and can testify.

Disappeared? What do you mean?

That spy knows some magic, that's why Xiao couldn't overcome her and was pushed into the water.

- You may leave. - Yes.

What? You don't even believe me anymore?

You've always been sympathetic toward the enemy.

Are you saying that Xiao and I colluded

to cheat you out of the antidote for the Algae of Red Ghost?

Even if so, I wouldn't have injured Xiao this way!

General, I'm incapable.

You don't need to waste the antidote on me. I'm willing to suffer.

Xiao is your subordinate! She's fought alongside you.

Can you really stand by to watch her die from the torment of the Algae of Red Ghost?

Life and death are fated.

General Fei Lian, I am grateful to you,

but you need not plead for me.

Here.

Xiao, Fei Lian said that I've changed...

and have become more heartless.

Is this true?

General, you've never changed.

Maybe you're the ones who've changed?

I... haven't changed, either.

I hope so.

Come on out.

Let's go.

You are here for the antidote, right?

How did you know?

I'm not stupid. I saw your face clearly,

but Xiao insisted that she didn't. So you're all in this together.

Where is Xiao?

She is seriously injured, but she's taken the antidote, so she should be fine.

You should hurry and leave. If people show up later, there'll be trouble.

What about you? If Yu Huan discovers that there's less medicine, he'll surely investigate.

I'm a general in Cangliu, and we have a bond from growing up together.

He shouldn't harm a friend.

Then... what about Xiao?

Don't worry. I'll protect her.

Thanks.

Go! I'll be here.

You know the invisibility spell. Hurry and leave.

Fei Lian, I'm sorry.

Hurry and go!

Don't come any closer. If you come closer, I'll kill him!

Put down all your weapons.

Fei Lian.

You said that I've changed, but actually, you are the one who's changed.

Yan Xi, run!

Yu Huan, we haven't had a good fight in a while.

Who wants to have a good fight with you?

Is that the Stranded Dragon Platform?

It should be.

Your back...

This is the mark of the dragon deity.

The dragon deity should be close by. I can feel it.

What's wrong?

I feel...

I feel like there's someone watching us.

Watching us?

Seems like he has a lot to say.

I can feel his existence.

Who is he?

I don't know.

No matter what happens, you have to tell me right away.

[7,000 years ago]

[Chun Huang - Emperor of the Sea]

[Dragon Silk Palace]

Why can't I speak?

And I can't move my body either...

Why can't I move my hands?

You're finally awake.

Why is Su Mo so strange?

As if he doesn't recognize me.

No!

This person isn't Su Mo.

You don't need to worry.

You only suffered from some shock.

No serious injuries.

Where is this place?

This is Dragon Silk Palace.

Where's my boat?

And the people who were on it?

Your boat is probably at the bottom of the ocean.

I... only saw you.

I didn't see anyone else.

Rest well. I'll come back later.

Don't think too much.

By the way... thank you.

What's your name?

- Chun Huang. - I'm Bai Wei.

Su Mo!

Was that an illusion from 7,000 years ago just now?

You saw it, too?

Seems like I really went back to 7,000 years ago.

I couldn't speak or move.

As if I were Queen Bai Wei.

Me, too.

This illusion is very strange indeed.

What did you see in the illusion?

I think it was Chun Huang and Queen Bai Wei's

first meeting.

- At Dragon Silk Palace? - Yes

Looks like we were in the same illusion at the same time.

If you're going to kill or torture me, just do it!

I'm not going to kill or torture you.

Put Fei Lian in my tent.

Don't let him out without my permission.

General Yu.

You still know to call me General.

You had a hand in today's events too, didn't you?

Don't want to say anything?

Fine.

I'll say it for you.

You took advantage of my last bit of hope for you and jumped into the poisoned river.

Then worked with Fei Lian to trick me out of the antidote for the Algae of the Red Ghost.

And then gave it to him! Right?

I gave you a final chance.

I wanted you to choose between me and Su Mo.

This is your answer?

Fei Lian and Yu Huan have both loyalty and retribution in their hearts.

Perhaps they also saved the both of us.

But in the end, what they're doing is all for Cangliu

and are just using the both of us.

Between the two of us, who do you choose?

Say something.

Say!

Young Master Su Mo.

Xiao!

Xiao!

I never imagined...

that my sharpest weapon would hurt me.

But I still kept you.

Right now,

you've become useless.

Xiao!

Xiao!

I will make your Commissioner of the Left replace you.

Throw her in the river.

Ning Liang!

Na Sheng!

Did you get the antidote? Where's Yan Xi?

Yan Xi... Yan Xi...

We sneacked into the camp,

Xiao helped us to get the antidote,

but in order to distract the soldiers,

- Yan Xi was captured by Yu Huan. - Yan Xi was captured?

He said... He said for me to come back first.

He said the Red Ghost poison couldn't wait.

This is the antidote. There are not many left.

Dissolve this in water and give it to the soldiers to drink.

Yes.

We came too late.

Don't blame yourself. You've already done your best.

Yan Xi...

Yan Xi is probably in extreme danger, right?

Everyone has their own mission. We also have our own mission.

Ning Liang, you're right.

There's no time to be sad. I have to use this heavenly power

to save the dragon deity.

After Su Mo releases the dragon deity, Yan Xi will be able to be saved.

Na Sheng! We're surrounded by the Cangliu.

It's suicide!

Ning Liang, let me go.

Yan Xi...Yan Xi said this was his wish.

Even if he never returns, I must help fulfill his wish.

If you must go,

I'll send some people to escort you.

Thank you, Ning Liang.

It's too quiet.

It makes you feel... strange.

Like you can't feel the presence of any living thing.

I can feel a strong psyche here.

I think we're trapped in here.

Those eyes have appeared again!
