The Qin troops who attacked the Mohist Machinery City lie devastated. It's rumoured back in Qin that the Mohists had four spirit beasts, Vermilion Bird, Black Tortoise, White Tiger and Azure Dragon which had been kept for just such an occasion. The Yin Yang priestesses surmise that the Confusians and Taoists have assisted the Mohists and decide to report it to their Eastern Emperor. The Moon Goddess/Yue Shen also warns Qin Emperor Ying Zheng of a potential threat from the east. Meanwhile the Mohist leaders all agree to become Tianming's teachers so that he can become the leader that Yan Dan predicted. Teacher Xu commences his education with a history lesson but Tianming is easily bored.
