20:32
After Guangming and Kunlun got lost in the woods, they split up. The international version now misses a long sequence where the general meets the goddess Manshen - the general's arrogance and pretension can be noticed distinctly.
Guangming notices the goddess in the woods and creeps up on her with his produced sword. Surprisingly she asks him if he would also kill innocents. He denies it, but she reminds him of all the slaves he killed in the last battle. He tries to slay the goddess for her impudence but she dissolves and reappears behind him. Their conversation goes on and he still threatens her with his sword (definitively rather playfully than seriously).
Manshen seems to know a lot about Guangming - she even knows his future. She predicts that the (former) successful warlord won't succeed any longer on the battlefield. She also shows him how his king will die. At the end of the scene she shows him the correct direction through the woods. Then, the international version continues.

The next morning, Qingcheng in front of the house tells Guangming that everyone she loves has to die. He feels betrayed. He tells his slave to kill Qingcheng. He produces his sword, approaches the princess but then pauses. Qingcheng addresses him and says that she can't change her destiny. She says that Kunlun has to learn to stand up for himself and stop being obedient. If he achieved this, he should look for her. The general laughs and shows his arrogance by saying that she will sooner or later come back to him - at tha latest when the cherry tree loses its blossoms (just like in the goddess' prophecy). He even tells his slaves to get his horse so she will be back even faster.

Therefore, he picks the strawmats from his roof and builds a little protection around the tree that is meant to prevent the tree from losing any more blossoms because of the wind. But he can't prevent it in the long run; that's why he stays in his house and continues drinking.
