Burning Flames 烈焰 Episode 1

In ancient times, the Yi tribe dwelled in the enigmatic wilderness, possessing innate potent spiritual abilities. Among them was Heilong, a spiritual dragon born amidst chaos, inherently fierce and the most formidable. Eternal Gu, the leader of the Yi tribe, feared Heilong's power and sought to eliminate him. A prolonged conflict ensued between Heilong and Eternal, culminating in the demise of Eternal and the entire ancient Yi tribe.

Tragically, Heilong's beloved Bai Long perished in this battle, plunging Heilong into profound sorrow and rage. To assert dominance over the three realms, Heilong declared himself King Yi, establishing Yi territory within the Xuanhuang domain and founding a new Yi clan. Over the ensuing 100,000 years, Heilong subjugated the demon tribe underground, condemning them to perpetual darkness and petrification-induced suffering across generations.

Discontent within the Yi tribe towards Heilong led to a rebellion against Yi territory, resulting in the formation of the Yi Yin tribe, striving to endure in the realm of humans amidst this tumultuous history.

The Hailing clan was enslaved by the Yi clan and became the permanent gatekeepers of the sea in the Yi region. The human race was ordered by Heilong to collect blood stones for generations to offer to the Yi clan. They were brutally abused and humiliated. So far, all the tribes in the three realms have been devastated under the rule of Heilong. Tragedy fills the land.

One hundred thousand years later, the divine envoy Xuanzai came to Xin Guo to convey the oracle, asking King Xin to invest ten times the manpower to mine blood stones in the Beishan Mine. At the same time, King Xin could not bear the oppression of the Yi people and was worried about the lives of the people, so he flatly refused. Unexpectedly, the divine messenger ordered King Xin to attack the country of Yi and conquer the people of the country of Yi as slaves. King Xin burned Yi Yu and did not want to be bullied by the Yi people anymore. The divine envoy was furious and wanted to punish the Xin tribe. Wu Geng, the prince of the Xin tribe, directly killed the mythical beast brought by the divine envoy.

The Yi people took this as an excuse to attack the Xin State on a large scale, resulting in heavy deaths among the soldiers of the Xin State. General Mo was dissatisfied with King Xin's declaration of war against the Yi people, and wanted to assassinate King Xin to quell the anger of the Yi people. King Xin persuaded General Mo to fight against the Yi people for the sake of the people of Xin, but unexpectedly General Mo persisted and was eventually killed in front of King Xin.

Wu Geng asked himself to go into battle to kill the enemy, but King Xin refused. King Xin asked him to receive the people who had taken refuge and be responsible for their aftermath. King Xin told Wu Geng that although his father had told him that the people were born to serve the Yi people, he believed that people's destiny was in his own hands, and he did not want to accept his fate, so he rebelled against the Yi people.

The next day, the girl Baicai and her slave Agou came to the city to sell medicinal materials. Unexpectedly, the two were knocked over the medicinal materials basket by the people in the city who were robbing food, causing the medicinal materials to be trampled. The medicinal material shop was only willing to buy the medicinal materials from Baicai at a low price. When Baicai saw the wound on Agou's hand, he could only reluctantly sell the medicinal materials at a low price.

Baicai treated the wound on Agou's hand, and then took him to buy grain. However, the owner of the grain store took advantage of the war to increase prices, and Baicai could only buy half a bag of grain with the silver in his hand. Wu Geng brought people to inspect the grain market, and Baicai accidentally discovered that His Highness the Prince had similar facial features to A Gou. Taking advantage of the presence of His Highness the Prince, Baicai deliberately stated in public that the owner of the grain store was a kind man and only sold a bag of grain for one shellfish. The owner of the grain store could not deny it in front of Wu Geng and could only bear the pain and sell the grain.

After buying four bags of grain, Baicai was about to leave with Ah Gou. Unexpectedly, the grain store sent someone to intercept the two people from returning the grain. The two sides started to fight and were discovered by Wu Geng, who was on patrol. The grain store framed Baicai for using fake shells to buy grain, and Baicai identified him. The grain store was driving up prices, and Wu Geng ordered people to take them all back for review. Ah Gou took the opportunity to push away the official and leave with Baicai. Baicai coaxed Ah Gou to go home first with the food, while she took the opportunity to lure Wu Geng away. Wu Gengben had already caught Baicai and wanted to take him back for investigation. At this time, he received a message from his mother and had to return to the palace in time.

Wu Geng's mother Xinyuehu told her son that he could not defeat the enemy on his own. In addition to having a smart mind and the courage to move forward, he must also have a kind heart that loves the world and the people. Only when he learns to love the people will they fight side by side with him to protect Xin. Wu Geng wondered why his mother told him these words, but Xinyuehu didn't explain much.

King Xin decided to go to war personally for the sake of the people and Wu Geng. Xinyuehu was not afraid of the hardships in the future, but he was worried about his son Wu Geng. Wu Geng found out that the owner of the grain store was driving up prices and ordered his head to be displayed in public. At the same time, the Yi tribe led troops to attack the gate of Xin Kingdom. King Zhou Fa and Zhou Qiao were ordered by the Yi tribe to attack Xin Kingdom. King Xin led troops out of the city to fight. Wu Geng wanted to follow his father out of the city to fight, but Wu Geng thought that he As the prince of King Xin, he had the responsibility to go out of the city to fight. In the end, King Xin agreed that Wu Geng would go out to fight. Because of the war and the panic among the people, Baicai and Agou accidentally got separated.
