[The Legends of Changing Destiny]

Episode 29

Come, Yang Lan.

I have a cure.

Tell everyone

that we will advance in three separate fleets.

Yes, Marshal!

Come.

Chug.

Bottoms up!

Mr. Yao.

You're a dragon while I'm a saurian.

We are close relatives, aren't we?

Come. A toast to you.

Please. A lizard like you shouldn't put

yourself in my league.

You!

You're so right, Mr. Yao.

She's but an eel.

Come. Another toast to you.

I am the Roc-Demon King.

My ancestor is...

The Goldfeather Roc.

Your ancestor was just a mount,

so don't wear it around like a badge.

You...

Mr. Yao.

We are all trying to make friends here.

Hostility

will do none of us good.

Who wants to be your friend anyway?

I can give you the artifacts

or elixirs you want.

Just don't forget

to deal with Guitouchong.

Mr. Yao.

You did bring us

elixirs and artifacts.

But the amount

is different

from what you promised us.

That's because you haven't

even delivered your part of the deal yet.

Is that not right?

It's not fair to be compensated

when you aren't doing your job.

We agreed

that you would give us 30 percent of the promised provisions before the war.

And if the war called for it, you would supply another 40 percent.

I don't think the 30 percent is here yet.

All of you don't have the guts to wage a war.

You keep on saying that the timing is not right.

You should count yourself lucky

to have received this amount of supplies already.

I don't think a coward has the right to negotiate.

You promised to deliver the 30 percent first.

Since when did you say that you'd only deliver it after we declare war?

We can give you an inch.

But don't take a mile.

Now, who's the lizard here?

Young lad, I already knew

that you're the Crown Prince of White Sea.

You should have never

mocked us.

Dark Demon King! You can't do this to me.

We have a deal.

You can't break your promise.

You scoundrel.

We tried

to be nice to you

but how dare

you gave us an attitude.

Tie him down

and ask the White Sea King for elixirs and artifacts as ransom.

Yes!

Take him away.

Move!

Bye.

Let me go!

You. Look after him.

Let me go!

Yes.

Bai Su, untie me.

We can't stay here.

Let's leave together.

You don't want to escape?

I'm not leaving.

My King saved me.

I will follow him.

Bai Su, come back with me.

I can give you all the riches in the world.

I don't want wealth.

Then what do you want?

I can give you anything.

Bai Su, untie me.

We won't be able to escape

if they're here.

But...

No buts.

There are many ways to repay the favor,

and I only have one life.

They are all evil.

God knows what they'll do to me.

What if they chop off my horn

or my limbs

and send them to my father?

I'm as good as dead!

Bai Su!

Are you going to leave me to dry here?

I'll have a look.

Big Brother.

The accursed Tianhe Army is here.

We can't hold them off any longer.

The Tianhe Army is growing stronger by the day.

They win one battle after another.

More and more ministers

support Beichen's decision

to attack Qilai Mountain.

What do we do?

Calm down.

Look.

Remember what I told you

and defend the Nine Heavenly Palace. Everything will be all right.

But...

I see. I'm getting ahead of myself.

I shall take my leave.

Wuji lads.

Master.

Take this.

It's the plague solvent.

Easy there. Descend to the Mortal Realm

and present it to the Saurian Demon

on Shuangyu Mountain.

Understood?

Master,

the plague

will kill many living beings.

If a demon gets hold of it...

Understood. It will be done.

Come.

Are you all right?

How are you?

I'll get you some elixirs.

Don't worry.

It got into my lungs.

You!

You are a Taiyi Golden Deity in the Ascendance Phase.

How could you let an enchanted formation

injure you so?

Yes, it's my fault.

I didn't protect you.

That's right.

For once, you didn't find an excuse.

Do you enjoy bickering with me?

No.

I don't have time for that.

My lord, time to change your dressing.

Yang Lan, this is for you.

Thanks.

Fengling.

Fengling.

Where did you pick up your healing skill?

You could cure what Yang Lan

couldn't.

Fengling is a skilled healer.

She has been very helpful

toward the injured demons here.

And she cured

my problem effortlessly too.

I studied very, very hard

under my master

when you were away.

He can heal too?

Why didn't he teach me?

Did I

impress you there?

My lord, the Millennium Sea King asked for you.

So other

than the Tianhe Army

who came knocking at our door,

another two fleets

departed to Shuangyu Mountain

to raid the six demon kings?

That's impossible.

After the scout from Shuangyu Mountain

saw the incoming Tianhe Army yesterday,

they fought right away.

The Six Demon Kings

were all caught off guard.

By our rough estimate, the Tianhe Army has around 100,000 soldiers.

The situation over there

has stabilized after a day of bloodbath.

But they are losing.

King Rocky,

please intervene

and help them.

100,000 soldiers. That's not the main army.

And by splitting into three fleets,

the Tianhe Army will be spread too thin.

That's a very questionable tactic.

We know for sure that the banner

on the fleet we found is fake.

And if you take

this into consideration,

it seems like the impending invasion

is just a bluff.

It might be a ruse

to distract us

or the demons in Shuangyu Mountain.

But why are they

invading Shuangyu Mountain all of a sudden?

Which fleet

is Beichen leading?

Is the invasion a bluff or not?

I think Beichen doesn't want the demon kings.

and us to band together,

so he strikes Shuangyu Mountain preemptively.

To nip the problem in the bud.

He wants

to isolate us.

It seems like

he's ready for an all-out invasion.

Should we intervene?

The Tianhe Army Supply Fleet is fully loaded

and is quite far from here.

It travels very slowly

so it'll only arrive in a month or two.

We have the time to intervene

and come back.

Millennium Sea King, please tell

the Six Demon Kings that I'll help them.

But do tell them

to fight

as if their lives depend on them.

If they are not willing to do that,

they will not receive any help

from us anymore.

Yes.

I

shall relay the message.

Roc-Demon King, we meet again.

Big Brother.

We should run.

We shouldn't fight.

What?

We don't need any argument.

There's still hope.

We can still buy us some time.

What for?

It's very risky.

Once they close in

and surround us,

we will be trapped.

No.

We just have to fight back.

until King Rocky arrives.

Then, we'll win.

He already refused to form an alliance.

He will not come

to rescue us.

I know. Regardless,

intervening will do him good.

He doesn't want the Tianhe Army

to capture all of us effortlessly.

If we're bound to be captured,

he has to make sure the Tianhe Army loses a limb for it.

In that case, why should we follow his lead?

We can leave

and let them fight

among themselves.

We can just watch on the sideline.

Those soldiers

can't stop us from escaping anyway.

That's right!

No, we can't run away forever.

It is risky,

but we still can defend our territory.

If we run away like we did last time,

we'll lose everything.

Guitouchong? King Rocky is here.

Charge in!

Attack!

Although we have scouted this area,

we cannot let our guard down.

Continue monitoring it.

Yes.

The landscape here is quite complex.

What is going on?

What just happened?

Close the door.

Yes.

This is a crucial operation.

Be very careful.

What the heck?

Someone manipulated him into doing that.

We have an infiltrator here.

Unsheathe your blade!

Stop it!

Stop it.

Stop!

What are you doing?

Stay calm!

Stop!

Stop!

Marshal.

All personnel

below the Ascendance Phase

will leave this fleet immediately.

Yes, Marshal!

(What about you?)

I stay to kill you.

Come out now. I know you're here.

You rascal.

I didn't expect you to make a full recovery this soon.

(I didn't expect)

(to run into you here either.)

(You shouldn't burn all bridges, you know?)

(Because you)

(might regret it)

(when you become a demon one day.)

(Oh.)

(Has your trial concluded?)

(So... Are we fighting here?)

(I don't think you have the advantage here.)

If we move outside,

you might escape.

(Is that a favor from you then?)

You can repay me with your life.

Come out!

(Says the one who tries to gang up on me.)

(Shame on you.)

(I'll spank you again next time.)

(I'll spank you again next time.)

What is he thinking?

Tell everyone to draw in our defense line.

Yes, Marshal!

Who are you.

Why did you save me?

You don't need to know.

We're here to give you a leg up.

What is that?

It contains a mist of pure plague solvent,

which can kill people in the Ascendance Phase.

Plague solvent?

Oh no.

Marshal.

So?

It's a plague.

According to the surviving soldiers,

after Guitouchong attacked the ship,

the plague mist

spread on the deck.

The rock demon

must have instructed Guitouchong to unleash the plague.

He is ruthless!

Do we have the antidote?

We usually prepare 500 doses

of antidote.

But the casualty has risen

to 1,000,

and we are still tallying the number of infected soldiers.

20,000 men

have shown symptoms

and thousands of mortals died from it.

It's hard to calculate the damage done.

Marshal, it takes time to concoct the antidote

so the plague will continue to spread.

20,000 men

and countless mortals...

Marshal, we need to make a decision now.

Now?

How?

I suggest

we retreat for now.

Retreat?

Marshal, we cannot retreat.

Tianheng, how are we supposed

to answer to the Heavenly Court if we retreat?

They must have learned the news

that there is a plague going on.

No one would believe

that a demon in the Mortal Realm

possesses the ability to unleash the plague.

Taibai Jixing will only pin it

against us.

And we don't have anything to exculpate ourselves.

If we retreat now,

we will be framed for the misuse

of the plague solvent

and military incompetency.

Can you imagine

the consequences?

What do we do now then?

The misuse of plague solvent incurs the death penalty!

So? We cannot retreat now!

But...

Enough!

Tianheng.

Deliver the antidote

to the citizens.

Tianfu, head to Yuzhen Holy Hall

and ask Yuzhen to prepare more antidotes.

Yes, Marshal.

How is he?

Your Highness, the remedy will not work.

Just give it a try.

Tianfu.

Give them

the antidote now.

Deity Yuzhen,

please make more antidotes.

We need

to save the innocents.

Understood.

Come with me.

Mister.

What did we do wrong?

Why did the gods punish us

like this?

Why did they let everyone die?

No.

You didn't do anything wrong.

I want to save them.

Please save them.

Sure.

Come.

Listen to me now.

Take this.

Or you'll be infected as well.

I promise you

that I will do my best to protect others.

Mister, wait.

You can have this.

I am Wen Yang. Allow me

to thank you on behalf of others.

Many thanks, brave soldier.

It's all my fault.

This shouldn't have happened.

I slipped up,

and the rock demon seized the opening to wreak havoc.

I failed to protect you.

Mister.

Have we met before?

You look very familiar.

I feel sad

when I see you cry.

No, we have never met before.

Marshal.

The rock demon unleashed the plague to kill the innocents.

He should be punished.

Tell Tianren

that we are invading Qilai Mountain now.

The rock demon has to pay

for what he did.

Yes, Marshal!

If it weren't because we were fighting the Tianhe Army,

those citizens wouldn't have died.

I killed them.

No, you didn't.

There is a mastermind.

I fight back

to avoid a catastrophe.

But it transpired, nonetheless.

We

have to forge on.

The plague will kill many more.

Beichen will put the blame

on me.

The culprit who unleashed the plague

wishes to use me as the scapegoat

while he walks away freely,

watching Beichen and I fight each other to death.

What a cunning plan.

So

you don't think Beichen unleashed the plague?

We met when we were in Wicked Dragon Pond.

Even if he were a demon,

he wouldn't lay his hand on a heavenly patrolman.

Now, why would he kill

so many innocents all of a sudden?

He is annoying,

but he is a man of principle.

Beichen couldn't have expected

that the one who knows him best

is his enemy.

But the Tianhe Army is already

unpopular enough in the Heavenly Realm.

The others will pin the plague

on Beichen too.

Using me as the scapegoat?

No way.

I have to identify

the mastermind as soon as possible.

Oh no.

Over there!

Quick!

Let's go!

The Tianhe Army has launched an attack.

The war might threaten Lord Gu's life.

Tell everyone to get ready.

We will try to rescue Lord Gu.

Yes.

Remember me?

Yes.

What about the canary you killed back then?

And the other demons here?

You... You are the rock demon from before.

Yes.

It's me.

It's me.

And the rock demon

will take your life today.

Tell me.

Did Beichen give you

the order

to invade Qilai Mountain back then?

No.

I passed by here, and I thought

this place could use a clean-up.

Clean-up?

You think this place is foul.

Que'er.

And those innocent monkeys.

They never

committed anything foul.

So why did you do that?

Rock demon, don't waste your time.

Demons

should be exterminated.

I should have killed you back then

if I had known that you would snowball into a major threat.

Demons should be exterminated, you say?

Exterminated.

What a nice word.

You will pay the price.

Que'er.

Did you see that?

I did it.

Could you hear it?

I did it.

I'm sure she saw it

from high above.

My lord, we have defeated the supply fleet.

The Tianhe Army has been deterred

and their souls, captured.

Who's that?

Marshal.

It's Tianren.

Marshal, don't go. Let's rebel.

Your Majesty, please release Marshal Beichen.

Or we will never withdraw.

Rid His Majesty of all unscrupulous ministers!

Rid His Majesty...

Tianren.

Your loyalty

shouldn't be rewarded

with death.

Even your soul

was imprisoned by the rock demon.

You did everything right.

I

failed you.

You merely

executed my order.

From now on, Qilai Mountain will be our sworn enemy.

Qilai Mountain will be our sworn enemy!

- Marshal. - Marshal.

I'm fine.

Marshal.

I said I'm fine!

Go.

We have a brief respite now.

Please give Tianren a proper burial.

I have to visit Qilai Mountain.

Yes.

Your Majesty,

Beichen unleashed the plague to kill demons on the Nanzhan Continent.

He killed many mortals by doing so.

That's unbelievable.

Your Majesty, a plague is lethal.

Beichen deserves

a divine punishment.

Do not indulge him further.

Your Majesty, Marshal Beichen's loyalty

already wavered

following the death of Fairy Nichang.

This could be an act of vengeance.

Beichen has committed an unforgivable crime.

The Tianhe Army suffered casualties too due to the plague.

If Beichen did unleash the plague,

why would he sacrifice his men?

Beichen is not a thoughtless general.

In my opinion,

he didn't unleash the plague.

The plague is hard to contain.

It is very likely

that he miscalculated.

Besides,

how could a mere demon in the Mortal Realm

possess the ability to unleash the plague?

Beichen

is giving us an excuse here.

Your Majesty, there can be no doubt that he

unleashed the plague to kill the mortals.

Your Majesty, I beseech you to capture Beichen at once.

I volunteer to lead the troops.

Please grant us permission.

Whether the Tianhe Army unleashed the plague or not

remains to be ascertained.

We should avoid

a hasty decision now.

Perhaps we could

summon Beichen back

and gather more evidence first?

We could then confront him in person.

Yes, let's do it in person.

The plague has killed many lives.

As the ruler of the Three Realms,

we cannot ignore this crisis.

However, the Tianhe Army is currently tasked

with the extermination of demons.

Changing a marshal right now is a bad move.

Let's adjourn this till after the war.

What do you think?

You are right, Your Majesty.

Making a judgment before the truth

can be investigated will make us look incompetent.

It will only boost the demons' morale.

Swapping out a general last minute can cost us a victory.

Even if the Tianhe Army is at fault,

we can wait until the war is over.

Until the war is over. When will that be?

The gate defenders

tried conquering Qilai Mountain for several years to no avail.

If

it takes the Tianhe Army several decades to conquer it,

should we allow the plague to fester

for another decade then?

Hear, hear!

Tell

Marshal Beichen

that he will only have three months

to conquer Qilai Mountain.
