The Legend of Hei II Captivates Audiences with Rave Reviews

Opens in Philippine cinemas on January 21

In a secluded and tranquil Elfin Guild hidden deep in the mountains, a sudden explosion shatters the peace. The Guild is attacked, resulting in heavy casualties among the Guild's enforcers, and the head of the Guild, Da Song, personally joins the battle, only to encounter a shockingly familiar figure among the enemy ranks...

In the village, Hei lives, trains, and studies under the guidance of his master, Wuxian. Hei's mastery of spatial abilities is becoming increasingly proficient, though still unstable. Wuxian, who hasn't been on a mission for a long time, suddenly receives an urgent decree from the Headquarters Guild. Considering Hei has never been there, his master decides to bring him along. Throughout the journey, Hei is brimming with excitement, and witnessing the guild's enforcers' deep respect for Wu Xian, he—an apprentice with untapped potential—is also shown considerable respect.
