Tribes and Empires: Storm of Prophecy

Didn't you tell your disciple who Ling Yu Feng is?

He's the 67th Holy Mentor of the Royal Divination Sect.

How did he die?

No one knows.

But I do.

Ling Yu Feng!

For some unknown reason, he crossed the Tian Tuo Strait

to go to Han Prefecture.

Since then, no one ever saw him again.

What was even more of a coincident is that after his disappearance

Muru Tian Tong took down Han Prefecture without much effort.

The war...

Although we won the war

the commander-in-chief, Muru Tian Tong went missing.

He never returned to Zhong Prefecture again.

A day before he disappeared, he left behind a message.

From the moment you wield a blade to kill

you will also die under a blade.

What's ridiculous is that the Muru family used this message

as a teaching to everyone in the world.

But why do I think that Muru Tian Tong's words meant something else?

Once I figure those words out

and prove that your supreme mentor had some dealings with Muru Tian Tong

I can then have the Royal Divination Sect completely thrown out of Novoland.

What do you think?

You are dismissed.

Yes.

Your Highness.

What is it that you would have me do?

Tell me.

Out of the six tribes of Novoland

which is the most dangerous and ferocious one?

The Humans.

For the Humans, which tribe is the most dangerous?

None.

A Charmer's heart in human form is the most dangerous.

Those Charmers look just like us but they are more capable.

One day, they may even take the throne.

Should these things be allowed to exist in this world?

Humans can take the throne.

Why can't the Charmers?

Should sovereignty alternate...

it is the people who will suffer the most.

Mister Ling.

Would you like to kill one or two people to protect everyone else?

Or have everyone killed in order to protect two people?

Which would you choose?

Muyun Sheng... He carries the bloodline of our Muyun family.

Therefore, we won't ask you to tackle him for us.

You just have to get rid of that female Charmer by his side.

That's all.

Can you do that?

In three days, in Qin Feng Hall.

The royal family banquet.

Join us.

If I don't see you there then

I can assure you

that the Royal Divination Sect's reputation will be ruined.

Then it will be gone from Novoland.

Mentor, this is Supreme Mentor's altar.

Why is it empty?

You can leave now.

Mentor, what does Arch Prince Ye mean by those words?

Our supreme mentor disappeared in Han Prefecture.

He and the ancestor of Muru family took down Han Prefecture easily.

Could this be... somehow related?

You need only remember the commandments of our sect.

As for what you shouldn't ask...

Don't ask.

Mentor, you really did keep something from me.

Supreme Mentor...

Did he really pass on the learning of occultism?

I had thought...

we were the last group of people in this world

who had never lied to anyone.

Dismissed.

Supreme Mentor...

I lied...

For the sake of our beliefs, I had to lie.

I lied for the sake of everyone in the world.

It isn't considered wrong, is it?

Supreme Mentor...

For the sake of the Royal Divination Sect

I...

I have to break our commandments.

Supreme Master, I hope you will forgive me.

It isn't exactly wrong of us to do that, is it?

Crown Prince, Muyun Sheng.

He is old enough to marry.

Rightfully, he should be matched with a virtuous lady.

The lady-in-waiting, Su Yu Ning has been confirmed and foretold

by the Astrology Chamber to be a perfect match for the crown prince.

Su Yu Ning is to be bestowed to Crown Prince as his legal consort.

All matters concerning the wedding shall be handled by

both Muru Shuo and Ling He Qing.

An auspicious date shall be chosen.

Ling He Qing!

Have you calculated and decided on an auspicious date?

Your Majesty.

This month on the day of the full moon, it is the most auspicious of all.

On the day of the family banquet?

We'll have the engagement on the same day as the banquet.

Yes, Your Majesty.

- Put down the sedan chair. - How can Muyun Sheng be the emperor?

Could Ling He Qing have made a mistake in his prophecy?

You're right.

We should express our concern to His Majesty again tomorrow.

Sure.

Father.

- What is it? - Father.

What is the matter? Speak.

You are all dismissed.

Yes.

Speak.

Father...

The crown prince's engagement...

Don't tell Han Jiang.

Why?

Why not?

You hm and haw.

and hesitate in your actions.

I told you to keep a close eye on Han Jiang.

You end up being as unruly as he is?

Father.

Han Jiang once asked me to deliver something to Miss Su Yu Ning.

Han Jiang told me that I must hand this to you.

Han Jiang?

Where is he?

He...

He's gone in search of the life he wants.

He asked that you take care of yourself.

I just think to myself that somehow...

Han Jiang has feelings for Su Yu Ning.

Shut up!

Don't make groundless guesses.

You're not to say such crazy things.

Yes.

You must keep a closer eye on Han Jiang.

Don't even bother with it.

Whatever happens, I won't put it on.

The empress arrives!

Greetings, Your Highness.

I know that you're reluctant.

I came here to take a look to cheer myself up.

I'm all right.

If it isn't what I am willing to do

no matter how many people force me, it still won't get done.

Is it that bad to be an empress?

Is it that good to be an empress?

You're the leader of all women.

Isn't that good enough?

I'm naturally foolish.

Unlike Your Highness, you have great ambition.

I don't desire to be at the top of the rank.

All I wish for is to feel warm in my heart day after day.

You deliberately said that to me?

You deliberately said that to me?

Slap her!

Yes.

Su Yu Ning has told simply the truth.

Feel warm in your heart?

Without power and authority to protect you

you'll be left to anyone's disposal.

How could you feel warm?

If you defy the royal decree...

your entire family will have to die.

There will surely be a way.

How naive.

Even Muyun Sheng gave in.

No one else can save you now.

That's not true.

There is someone.

He will surely help me.

That's wishful thinking.

I'll leave after saying a few words to Prince Sheng.

That's not necessary.

Since you left with someone else...

you should know that you shouldn't come here.

This concerns Prince Sheng's life.

Loyalty is not just a pretty word.

It's not meant to just be uttered.

Since you already left

why would you return to be humiliated?

It's always easy to criticize others.

Be sure not to forget what you just said.

Do lives matter more?

Or one's reputation?

Yu Xin Ji will always follow Your Highness.

The banquet will be held soon.

Is everything prepared?

There's no reason to hesitate when offering my services to Your Highness.

I just hope that Your Highness will let me serve you.

You should leave.

It's been a long while.

You're here to visit me?

I don't ask that Your Highness forgive me.

I just have a few important words to say to Your Highness.

Head back now that you've seen me.

Don't ever come here again.

Your Highness bears a grudge against me?
