=Episode 27=

Young man,

I'll pass my lifelong power

and secret arts to you.

Kill him for me.

Boy,

I'll pass my skills to you too.

Let's see whose martial arts prevail.

We'll also pass our power to you.

Masters.

Masters.

Don't do this, Masters.

Master.

Mas...

Boy.

Master.

Hang in there.

I heard

about the Xiao family's young master joining the Shenzhou Alliance.

You weren't meant for Taoist sects.

But to save Daxi's martial world

and defeat the Power Gang,

only you can succeed.

Xiao boy,

do you remember everything I said?

I do.

I absolutely do.

Master,

is this your sword scabbard?

What if it is?

Then did you leave

this mark?

You know this mark?

Tell me now.

Which sect does it belong to?

Master,

if you don't know,

then where did you

get this scabbard?

My old friend's entire sect

was brutally exterminated

half a month ago.

When I arrived, it was too late.

My friend died with a grievance.

Before passing, he said he found a traitor in their ranks

who colluded with outsiders

and used this very mark in correspondence.

Who was it

to commit such an atrocity?

I only know

it's a shadowy organization within the martial world,

possibly linked to North Wasteland.

I haven't avenged my friend.

I'll never rest...

I never imagined

that before dying,

I'd gain

such a gifted disciple.

For decades,

we fought like mortal enemies.

♪Let tears fall where maple leaves stay calm♪

Yet now we share one disciple.

♪Regret remains wordless♪

♪Broken spears sink in sand♪

Now that you three died,

how could I live alone?

I'm tired

of walking this worldly path.

The path to the underworld is a good path.

♪A touch ripples the moonlit water♪

How lonely.

(Eight masters were from different backgrounds,)

(yet they all devoted their lives to martial arts.)

(They say good and evil can't coexist.)

(But martial arts hold no morality.)

(Good men use them for good.)

(Evil intentions bring disaster.)

(May they in the next world)

(transcend factions and allegiances,)

(be free from worldly constraints,)

(and spar with pure delight.)

(That would be joy.)

(All eight masters perished?)

(What really happened?)

(Tomb of Yinping)

(Tomb of Tieqi)

It's fine.

A noble defeat.

Five challengers have fallen to me.

On this Golden Summit,

none remain who can best me.

Why not surrender now?

Such arrogance!

I'm Zhichen, leader of Emei.

I shall test your skills.

Abbess Zhichen's skills impress.

Yet Emei declines year after year.

I heard Abbess Zhichen has an old ailment.

This battle likely drains

her internal energy.

Qiushui?

(Why is he so similar to Qiushui?)

All hail the leader!

Li Chenzhou.

Abbess Zhichen,

sorry to bother you.

How can two people look so alike in this world?

Li Chenzhou,

what exactly do you want?

Thousand Kalpas Finger?

You're erudite.

Thousand Kalpas Finger

can control meridians.

Our leader determines your life or death.

Your fate rests in his hands.

Everyone.

Does none of you

want the Book of Oblivion anymore?

If we attack together,

victory isn't impossible.

What I hold is the Supreme Elixir.

Whoever kills this demon

will get this treasure from me.

You're under Thousand Kalpas Finger's control

because your internal energy falls short.

By obtaining the Supreme Elixir,

you'll break free.

Let's see if you'll

risk killing me

or seize the elixir to survive.

(I must rebuild the Xiao family. I can't be controlled.)

Heavenly King Zhu.

- The elixir! - The elixir!

- There! - There!

Qiushui?

- Mine! - Give it to me!

Yiren, watch out.

The Supreme Elixir is fake.

It's the poison Shao Liulei prepared

to get back at Heavenly King Zhu.

What did you say?

It's poison?

There's an undeniable resemblance between us.

They... they're uncannily identical.

The difference is nearly none.

Qiushui is far more handsome than Li Chenzhou.

Similarity means nothing.

We're fundamentally different.

- Here! - Found it! I found it!

Mine!

Give it!

Mine!

- Mine! - Give it!

- Mine! - Give it to me!

- Give it! - Now!

What a disgraceful display.

Move!

It's poison.

It's truly poisoned.

- It's poison. - He's dead!

- He's dead! - He's dead!

- He's dead! - It's poison.

- It's poison. - It is.

Truth sounds less credible than lies.

Because harsh truths repel listeners.

This deadly struggle

proves exactly that point.

I summoned you all

to unite to eradicate the evil,

Power Gang.

Yet some prioritize seizing the elixir

over doing justice.

How laughable it is!

Where's Heavenly King Zhu?

He seduced us with his lies.

Qiushui,

how did you know the elixir was fake?

Xiao Yiren, didn't you know about your brother's remarkable encounter?

He consumed the real Supreme Elixir long ago.

The elixir's gone.

To survive,

you've got one path left.

Watch out!

Thousand Kalpas Finger is insidious.

We came to vanquish the demon,

not be controlled by him!

Such despicable trickery.

Xiao Qiushui,

it's time to surrender the Hero Token.

Li Chenzhou!

The Power Gang slaughtered my family.

Today,

I shall avenge my parents

and the 127 lives of the Huanhua Sect!

Wudang's Tai Chi Swordplay!

Good form.

But it lacks refinement.

Shaolin arts?

How does Xiao Qiushui know both styles?

No.

Is Qiushui

planning to perish with Li Chenzhou?

Chenzhou, the mountain dew chills.

Wear this cloak.

Stay warm.

Right now, you're one of the most talked-about rising stars

in the martial world.

I won't kill you today.

If you don't kill me today,

the day will come when I kill you.

Fine.

I'll be waiting.

What's your purpose in coming to Emei?

I've only ever pursued one goal.

Use this with the Hero Token.

Look.

What is this?

It's some kind of map?

What is it?

It's a map.

That's right.

Years ago, North Wasteland

marched south and captured the capital.

They tried to move treasures and martial arts manuals north,

but during the journey,

General Wu's forces intercepted them.

Amid the chaos,

the treasures were lost somewhere in Nantiandang.

Nine years ago,

Yan Kuangtu accidentally discovered Nantiandang.

He found the lost treasures there

and concealed them again.

Then he engraved the treasure map on the Hero Token.

Yan Kuangtu's true intention

was for Madam Wu

to inform General Wu

about the location?

That's right.

But this matter was too sensitive

to disclose openly.

Opportunists misunderstood,

linking Hero Token

to the Book of Oblivion.

Alright.

You all know the truth now.

Join our gang in this quest.

Those who refuse

can die here on the Golden Summit.

Qiushui,

Daxi's treasures being lost in mountains

is a true tragedy.

But we can't trust Power Gang completely.

I've neutralized most people's Thousand Kalpas Finger.

Those who still have it are useful to me.

In three days,

meet us at Nantiandang's entrance.

I know you want your parents' bodies.

You'll have them after this mission.

Also,

Power Gang didn't kill your parents.

Believe it or not,

you'll discover the truth.

Qiushui showed Huanhua's strength

to all sects this time.

Pity Kaiyan wasn't here.

And Yiren wasn't happy seeing him.

Enough.

If Kaiyan were here, he'd be affected too.

Yiren and Kaiyan can't match Qiushui.

Master.

I never imagined

Li Chenzhou mastered Thousand Kalpas Finger,

nearly wiping out all martial sects.

I failed you and other masters.

I couldn't kill Li Chenzhou.

You did well.

You saved everyone you could.

The martial arts you displayed,

did Tieqi, Yinping,

Muye, Fanhua,

the Twin Swordmen,

Suiyu, and Canjin

teach you those?

Yes.

Eight masters

already...

Passing their remaining power to you

proves their trust in you.

Master?

Qiushui,

the martial world needs fresh blood,

someone using new methods

to prove heroism still exists.

I'm finished.

The future rests on you.

Understood.

Master,

save your strength.

You'll recover.

I'm counting on you.

Qiushui,

are we truly going to Nantiandang in three days?

We have no other choice.

Many remain under Thousand Kalpas Finger's control.

Besides, Li Chenzhou claims

he holds my parents' bodies.

I need to go anyway.

Qiushui,

do you really believe what he said,

that the Power Gang didn't kill your parents?

I don't trust anyone on that.

I must

find the answer myself.

What a pity.

You were so close

to killing Li Chenzhou today.

He actually had the chance to kill me outright.

I originally thought

since Liu Suifeng falsely claimed the Lucky Bag identity,

he was likely R.

R?

But he's Li Chenzhou's confidant.

Would he act independently?

Unless Li Chenzhou himself is R,

ordering Liu Suifeng to do so?

Emei summoned martial artists from all sects

to discuss overthrowing the Power Gang.

But someone spread rumors

about the Book of Oblivion

being in Li Chenzhou's possession.

His goal in doing this

was clearly to create chaos.

Are you saying

that R wants to use this opportunity

to destroy the entire martial world?

Heavens!

Qiushui,

what are you saying?

What does 'R' mean?

Sancai said the road ahead is long.

I replied that we must keep moving forward.

We remain on the path.

Don't we?

Exactly.

We remain on the path.

Let's go.

Alright.

Let's go.

Let's go.

Since returning from the Golden Summit,

you've been gloomy.

I keep hearing rumors

in the martial world about Qiushui.

They say Qiushui learned the Book of Oblivion

at the Golden Summit assembly.

Preposterous!

Absolute nonsense!

Don't be impatient, Yiren.

Qiushui has always

obeyed you since childhood.

He might lack opportunities now.

Yiren,

our family is currently disadvantaged.

Since Qiushui has shown capability,

why not use him to revitalize us?

His fame soars high now.

Who could command him?

Perhaps Qiushui already intends

to entrust the Changge Sword to you.

He just needs

a face-saving excuse.

(Liang Residence)

- Qiushui. - Qiushui.

You're back.

How's everything?

How's the task I entrusted to you?

While the Power Gang elites

were at Golden Summit,

we destroyed twelve outposts along the way.

Twelve.

Qiushui,

everyone knows your Golden Summit deeds.

So impressive!

Qiushui,

are you hiding something from us?

The arts you used at Golden Summit

weren't Huanhua Swordplay.

It's not that I'm hiding things.

This experience was just too bizarre.

- Bizarre? - Bizarre?

Qiushui,

what happened?

Just tell us about it.

Yeah, tell us.

Right.

Remember when eight masters fell

off the cliff at Golden Summit?

When I caught up with them,

I found those martial addicts sparring.

During the chaos,

they imparted their life's knowledge

and secret arts to me.

So that means

that you now possess

the combined arts of eight grandmasters.

Exactly.

Qiushui,

you're growing more heroic with each passing day.

You look like a true sect leader now.

That might be a stretch.

Alright.

Let's chat later.

Let's rest for now.

More crucial matters await us.

Yiren, you should rest too.

- Let's go. - Let's go.

Let's go.

Let's go.

Move.

Qiushui.

Qiushui, you must be starving.

I'll fetch you some food.

Hey fatty, where's the kitchen?

I'm calling you, fatty.

Qiushui.

Yiren.

What brings you here?

What?

Since Xueyu's wedding, have you decided

to stay away

from the Xiao Villa for good?

Not exactly.

You didn't even mention

the Hero Token matter to me.

If you think I bear no resentment,

you'd be mistaken.

Yet considering

these dire circumstances

and your maturity now,

it's natural you'd act

independently.

I came today

to clear all misunderstandings

between us.

If you're available tonight,

come to the villa.

Moreover,

Kaiyan was ill during the Golden Summit event.

He's recovered somewhat now

and wants to see you.

Okay.

Faced with enemies,

we should

have an earnest discussion.

Yiren,

I'll go tonight.

(Huanhua Sect)

Yiren.

Qiushui.

Thank you, Kaiyan.

These are

bamboo leaves from our old backyard.

I haven't tasted this brew in ages.

Yiren only brought a few leaves.

He couldn't bear to drink it.

But for your visit,

they're yours to enjoy.

Also,

while tidying the villa,

we found Mother's belongings.

This bears her embroidery,

with your favorite camellias inside.

(Huanhua Sect)

Thank you, Yiren.

I know our misunderstandings are profound.

Let today be

where we speak

with complete honesty.

Yiren,

that's precisely my wish.

Come on.

It's been too long.

Come on.

Then Qiushui,

tell me truthfully,

how did you acquire such profound energy

and martial skills?

At the Golden Summit,

eight masters imparted them to me.

Eight masters?

Qiushui,

you never met them before.

Why would they grant you their power?

We're family.

Just tell us the truth.

It sounds unbelievable,

but extraordinary people exist

who perform inexplicable acts.

Yiren,

Kaiyan,

do you truly think

I'd fabricate tales to deceive you?

With danger looming,

I'll speak plainly:

Qiushui,

did you secretly study the Book of Oblivion?
