Immortal Samsara (沉香如屑·沉香重华)

A mere mortal like you

is telling me what I should do?

Your Highness.

Calm down.

It's just a misunderstanding.

We're here for the marriage

between you and Princess Zhaolan.

We're not here to take your spouse away.

We're here to reconcile.

You know what?

Why don't we put Dragon King Zhaoyan down first?

We can then go from there.

Okay?

You again?

You have no honor.

I'm your target.

It has nothing to do with anyone else.

Yumo.

Sure.

If you can destroy your own spiritual body

and beg on your knees,

I will set them free.

No, no.

No.

This is between the East Sea and the South Sea.

I never wanted to meddle in it.

But Zhaolan once saved me.

You killed the South Sea Guards

indiscriminately

and hurt Zhaolan's father.

Do not force my hands.

You're all dead in my eyes,

so why this self-important litany?

I am not one who usually meddles in affairs,

but you

are forcing me now.

Bring him down!

Careful.

Protect yourself.

I will save Dragon King Zhaoyan.

Okay.

Careful, Mr. Tang.

Father.

Let me do it.

When did you retrieve the dragon core?

Wielder of Fire and Water.

The Lord of the Four Seas.

He is a Nine Fins.

Nine Fins' bloodline still exists in this world.

Zhaolan.

Zhaoyan.

This is your last chance.

In three days,

Zhaolan and I will get married in the East Sea.

You

will come with Yumo's head as my gift.

And then, your position as the Dragon King of the South Sea will be safe.

Without this gift,

I will invade

after the ceremony.

The Azure Dragon Clan of the South Sea

will disappear from this world.

Zhaolan!

My daughter...

The Dragon King has been discussing with his advisers

for four hours.

Any news?

I hope the Dragon King won't do what he was told

and use our heads as gifts.

And you, Yumo.

Why didn't you tell me that you're a Nine Fins?

I didn't know how to broach the subject.

I didn't mean to lie to you.

I'm not mad about that.

I'm just mad

that if I knew you were not a black fish earlier,

I would have brewed fish soup every day.

If I die here,

I will have worked for nothing.

I won't be able to catch a sniff of the fish.

It'll be a regret.

If Dragon King Zhaoyan truly wants Yumo's head,

do you think we will sit here and let him do it?

Aoxuan kills for his wedding

and treats the Dragon King of the South Sea like a commoner.

He is ruthless.

If he ever becomes a leader,

the Four Seas

will have a tyrant.

But he has kidnapped Princess Zhaolan.

We're in a tricky situation now.

It's hard to tell what Dragon King Zhaoyan will do.

Aoxuan might be a Dragon King,

but he's still young.

His golden hook artifact counters Yumo,

but killing him won't be that hard.

However, he is holding Zhaolan hostage now.

If we kill him,

the Four Seas will be in turmoil.

You're right, Mr. Tang.

Now that the power of Nine Fins was forced out,

the Four Seas will shake with it.

People in the West Sea

and in the North Sea will be on guard.

This marital affair might turn into more uprisings.

Mr. Tang.

You are of noble status.

You should prioritize passing your trial

and should avoid being involved in this.

Miss Shengde,

you claimed to be a Taoist from a niche sect,

but you

hold the knowledge of the Heavenly Realm

and the Four Seas.

You can even guide us.

I can't help but wonder

about your power and your sect, Miss Shengde.

Mr. Yu.

His Majesty is looking for you.

Don't worry, Mr. Yu.

Once this is over

and you send me back to my sect,

everything will become clear.

I can't wait.

All right.

Miss Shengde here is just worried about Tangzhou.

She meant well.

The Dragon King is waiting for us.

Let's head in.

Let's go.

His Majesty said

that only Mr. Yumo

was allowed in for confidentiality's sake.

It's okay.

You want me

to replace Aoxuan?

Aoxuan

might be the leader of the Four Dragon Kings,

but since he took over from his father as Dragon King,

he refuses to listen

and rules with an iron fist.

This is exacerbated after he took over his father's position.

If we concede

under his rage today,

the South Sea

and the Princess

will only suffer more in the future.

I am more than willing to rescue Zhaolan.

However, I refuse to command the army

as a Nine Fins.

The East Sea has a powerful military,

but the White Dragon Clan

is not fit to lead.

But now,

there is a Nine Fins.

He only has to give a command

to reunite the three other seas

to overthrow Aoxuan's tyranny.

Indeed.

The Nine Fins are the heroes of the Aquatic Clan?

Yes.

Only a Nine Fins can lead the other

Dragon Clans?

Yes.

I have a question

for you, Dragon King.

During the War of Genesis,

the Nine Fins Clan

was killed.

And then,

you turned to the White Dragon Clan of the East Sea,

abandoning the Nine Fins.

Now that your power is waning,

you seek my help.

Are you not mortified

by your shamelessness here?

Your Majesty.

Don't do that, Your Majesty.

I don't like

nor trust power.

My biggest wish

is to have a peaceful corner

where I can protect my loved one forever.

Other than that,

I want nothing.

Even if you refuse to get up,

I will not be persuaded otherwise.

Your Majesty.

I am not kneeling to beg,

but to repent.

Bad karma

always catches up to you.

Yumo.

What if I tell you

the downfall of the Nine Fins Clan

was caused by someone else,

you are supposed to be the Lord of the Four Seas,
