Southern Emperor and Northern Beggar — the third part of the 4-part Duel on Mount Hua prequel of the C-drama The Legend of Heroes — is due to premiere on August 5th.
Hence, why the 8-episode mini drama just had a new promo poster drop.
That Southern Emperor and Northern Beggar poster (called ‘the alternate version’ poster) heralds the follow-on of the story that started in Nine Yin True Sutra on July 26th.
It then continued in the second drama in the series – Eastern Heretic and Western Venom — which premiered on July 31st on Tencent Video/WeTV.

Baidu describes the plot of the Southern Emperor and Northern Beggar prequel like this:
The runaway Dali prince Duan Zhi Xing (played by Peter Ho) and the Beggar Sect disciple Hong Qi Gong (Ming Dao) hit it off immediately.
The Wuman woman Yi Huo (Hankiz Omar) mistakenly identifies Hong Qi as her arranged marriage partner, leading to a comical misunderstanding that blossoms into fateful romance.
Through serendipity, Hong Qi masters divine martial arts and becomes the Beggar Sect leader, but their fathers’ buried vendetta turns brothers into rivals.
When the “Sunstroke Finger” meets the “Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms,” the earth-shattering clash of titans unfolds.
Nope, not exactly the easiest Chinese drama plot to understand but, hey, that’s what we have currently been given.
Enjoy the latest high energy poster, then head over to WeTV (Tencent Video in China) on August 5th and look for Southern Emperor and Northern Beggar to drop.
