[The Journey of Legend]

[Episode 6]

Indeed impressive.

Now it's my turn.

Yiren, I won.

Show me your hand.

Show it.

I thought you had finally shown some ambition,

so I agreed to this contest.

But I never thought you'd resort to such tricks

instead of training hard.

Well, Yiren,

don't get upset.

The martial world is going through a period of turmoil now.

In terms of martial arts,

there's always someone mightier out there.

Besides,

isn't it good for the young leader of the Xiao family

to be smart?

I'm winning with my wits,

which is still within the rules.

Father, Mother,

Yiren can't deny he lost,

right?

Exactly. A loss is a loss.

Nonsense.

Such sophistry is not the righteous way.

Then how are we doing the second round of the lightness skill?

Whoever grabs the flower first wins.

Is Qiushui

doing this on purpose?

He's trying to provoke his big brother.

One, two, three, four.

What is this trick again?

Qiushui, are these contests you've arranged

all about unorthodox tricks?

Our Xiao family commands respect

in the martial world by real skills.

Such deceptive techniques you use

are never righteous.

Do you have any regard for our family rules?

If Qiushui keeps this up,

I'm afraid Yiren will truly get mad.

He'll definitely be punished again.

Don't worry.

Hasn't Qiushui caused enough trouble since childhood?

Didn't he always get away with it?

A contest is a contest.

We win or lose based on real skill.

Don't think about playing tricks again.

Fine.

Nice!

Have a nice, fair match!

Mother's Three Styles of Boldness.

Mother even taught her special technique to Qiushui.

Watch out, Yiren!

Qiushui is using the sword technique in reverse.

Isn't that dangerous?

Qiushui, are you okay?

Qiushui.

Did you hit your head?

Qiushui.

Are you alright, Qiushui?

I-I'm fine, Mother.

Mother, it was indeed my fault just now.

I went too far in that strike.

However, Qiushui usually goes for unorthodox tricks.

If he continues like this when he sets foot

in the martial world,

he'll surely suffer for it.

I only wanted to teach him a lesson

and remind him to practice

martial arts in the righteous way.

Good thing that nobody got injured.

But Father,

I-I didn't get the flower either.

The Token of the Huanhua Sect Leader

is henceforth

entrusted to Xiao Yiren temporarily.

But the matter of Young Leadership

will be postponed for the time being.

Qiushui,

you could've dodged that move just now.

Why didn't you?

Xilou,

how could Qiushui possibly dodge that blow of sword energy?

Do you think I couldn't recognize

your Three Styles of Boldness?

He did dodge the first two moves,

and he could've obviously avoided the last one.

But Qiushui, why didn't you dodge it?

Father, Mother, and everyone else were behind me.

How could I dodge?

It's wrong to use tricks in combat.

You should have lost this match.

But you sacrificed yourself to protect those behind you,

which has earned you a chance.

Therefore,

I appoint your elder brother as the acting sect leader.

Six months later,

you two brothers

will have a fair match one more time.

No, no. Father, that's not okay.

Six months is too long.

I need to...

Your goal is to be a sect leader.

If you can't even wait patiently for six months,

then you'd better forget about it.

In this world,

all you need is a clear conscience.

If something is not yours yet,

there's no use rushing it.

Whatever consequences arise,

the Huanhua Sect will bear them.

Qiushui.

I'm sorry for what I did earlier.

I was too impatient.

Please don't hold it against me.

I-I won't.

After six months,

let's have a fair match again.

The supplies are almost ready.

Don't waste time anymore.

You guys should set out for Guangling Villa immediately.

Yes.

Guangling?

Yiren? Yiren?

You've lost your personal sword.

This iron sword is also broken.

What else can you use?

I remember we still have some fine swords at home.

Go pick one.

Father.

Can I borrow

our family's Changge Sword?

Qiushui.

Are you serious?

The Changge Sword represents the Sect Leader.

You want to become the Sect Leader directly?

N-No, I didn't mean that.

Focus on solid martial arts training.

Stop thinking about those tricks!

Are you alright?

Does it hurt again?

You're harming him again.

Get some good rest.

I'll come check on you later.

Man...

I'll get you some medicine.

Thank you, Xueyu.

There's nothing we can do but wait.

Endure it.

Xiao Qiushui, you never fail to surprise me.

In the future,

you will surely surpass your father and elder brother.

But what a pity.

I won't give the Xiao family that time.

Yiren's Huanhua Sword Technique is truly formidable.

Next time, I really can't take it head-on.

Qiushui.

Xueyu, have a seat.

Does it still hurt?

It's okay.

I'll go to Guangling Villa with Yiren.

Remember to apply

these meds to your wounds regularly.

Thank you, Xueyu.

Actually, Yiren cares about you a lot.

When he knew I was coming to see you,

he acted like he didn't care,

but specifically mentioned several herbs,

wanting me to bring them to you.

I know Yiren wants what's best for me.

By the way,

Mother asked me to bring you some gifts from Zihui.

I'll go fetch them for you.

Qiushui, the carriage is already waiting outside.

You can give

those gifts to me when I return.

Qiushui, honestly,

why did you suddenly decide

to compete with Yiren for the family leadership?

Anyway,

it's good that you have a goal.

But you can't just talk about it.

Don't slack off in practice

when I'm away,

unable to keep an eye on you.

I know. Don't worry.

Qiushui,

among the younger generation in today's martial world,

Yiren is indeed outstanding.

But you don't need to rush.

After you gain more experience

in the future,

our Xiao family will have another great hero.

I understand.

By the way, Xueyu,

don't take to heart

what Kang Jiesheng said.

Whatever kind of partner you want in the future,

you have my support.

Of course, I want a heroic man of integrity,

skilled in martial arts,

decisive in his actions,

and above all, righteous,

conscientious, and chivalrous.

Good.

Right, Xueyu,

your well-being

should be held in your own hands.

Don't let anyone force you.

Alright, I understand.

You must practice diligently during this time.

I'm looking forward

to joining the great hero Qiushui's adventure

in the martial world six months later.

I should get going now.

Take good care of yourself

and don't upset Father and Mother, understand?

Xiao Qiushui!

Come out!

Yiren, Kaiyan.

Xueyu told me you had already left!

What?

Can't wait for us to leave?

We're departing for Guangling,

and you don't even see us off?

Why so eager to get rid of us?

I'm feeling dizzy. So dizzy.

Yiren has something to tell you.

After we leave,

you must take good care of Father and Mother,

listen to them, and not irritate them.

Understand?

That hurts?

No, it doesn't.

Are you still mad

at Yiren because of this?

Not at all.

Yiren, Kaiyan, don't worry.

I'll definitely take good care of Father and Mother.

After we leave, focus on your martial arts practice.

When we return in six months,

let's have another match properly.

Stay home and behave yourself.

Don't cause trouble for Father and Mother.

Let's go.

Take care!

Yiren, Kaiyang, stay safe!

Don't worry!

Greetings, Master.

How's the preparation?

I have summoned all our men to Jindu

from around Chuanjin,

waiting for your order, Master.

We'll use the excuse of avenging Fu Tianyi,

so no one will meddle in our actions against the Xiao family.

What about the Sword King?

Since Purple Phoenix's ambush against you,

he hasn't made any moves.

Stay vigilant.

Don't let him get his hands on the Hero Command Token.

Yes, Master.

Old Madam Wu is already hiding in the Sword Manor.

They've noticed our actions?

It doesn't matter.

You just focus on driving the Xiao family into a corner.

I have my own way to enter the Sword Manor

and find Old Madam Wu.

Should I inform the others of your presence

at the Xiao Residence, Master?

They don't know your real appearance.

I'm afraid they might disturb you.

They don't have that capability.

Remember,

show no mercy to the Xiao family.

I want their whole clan wiped out.

Yes.

[Jindu]

One bowl of noodles, please.

Coming right up!

There you are, miss.

Have some tea first.

Nice! Bravo!

May I ask where the Huanhua Sect is?

Oh, its location?

Just follow this road south, and you'll reach

the Xiao Residence of Huanhua Sect.

-Take a look! -Nice!

Thank you.

Just a minute. Your noodles will be ready soon.

Using the pretext of looking for Tang Rou,

I should be able to sneak into the Xiao Residence

and forage for that Hero Command Token.

What's this all about?

What's going on in broad daylight?

What a jinx!

How ominous!

Let me take a look.

Let me see.

I can't tell what this is.

The Power Gang.

This...

A coffin?

Let's go check it out.

[Xiao Qiushui]

Xiao Qiushui's sword?

The Power Gang is targeting the Xiao family.

[The Power Gang's about to attack. Escort Old Madam Wu out of the Xiao Residence.]

The Power Gang's

about to attack.

The news still got out.

Father! Mother!

Qiushui, why are you in such a panic?

Father, Mother,

I...

Father, Mother,

the weather has been wonderful lately,

perfect for hiking and outings.

Why don't we

go out for a trip sometime soon?

What do you think?

Xiao Qiushui,

what are you up to again?

Qiushui.

What's going on?

Father.

Xiao Qiushui!

Fang!

Fang, Fang!

Fang! Fang!

Xiao Qiushui,

let Tang Rou leave the Xiao Residence immediately.

Don't drag my brother into the trouble you caused.

The Power Gang has placed their blood coffin in Jindu.

The Power Gang has brought out the blood coffin?

They're seeking revenge!

Sect Leader!

Sect Leader!

Sect Leader,

a blood coffin of the Power Gang was found in Jindu.

Inside the coffin

lay the Third Young Master's sword.

You may go.

Yes.

Wasn't that sword disposed of?

Qiushui,

when did you mess with the Power Gang?

What now?

I did burn it.

Qiushui,

tell me everything that happened.

Qiushui killed the Iron-Fisted Demon Fu Tianyi?

Three years ago, the Tiger-Subduing Blade in Huizhou

took over a pawnshop belonging to the Power Gang,

causing his entire family of 12 to be slaughtered in one night.

The Tongding Sect in Heluo had a dispute with the Power Gang

over a ferry crossing.

The entire sect was massacred,

bound, and thrown into the water to drown.

This is what you get

once you offend the Power Gang.

In no case will they let it go.

If what the Power Gang wants is revenge,

they can come at me alone.

Now, the priority is for us

to leave Huanhua Sect immediately.

Father, Mother,

I'll make sure you're safe.

What's your plan?

Qiushui,

you're saying

that the Gold and Silver Bank colludes with the Northern Wastelanders.

Can you prove it?

Father, please read this.

I've found evidence.

I was planning

to tell you when this matter was over.

It seems like the whisper

about the Power Gang's collusion with the Northern Wastelanders

is not a rumor at all.

Mr. Xiao,

the Gold and Silver Bank is Fu Tianyi's private property.

This letter alone

can't prove the Power Gang is in collusion with intruders.

But Fu Tianyi was.

That's enough.

Qiushui didn't make an enemy in the martial world.

He just killed a vicious man who committed treason.

Why should we fear anyone seeking revenge?

Today, it has come to light that Xiao Qiushui, the Xiao family's third young master,

executed a traitor.

It is truly an honor for the Xiao family.

The Xiao family will bear

the consequences of his acts.

None of you have anything to do with this matter.

Please leave this place right away.

After the Xiao family weathers through this crisis,

we will invite you for drinks again.

Goodbye.

Mr. Xiao,

you're determined to be a hero,

yet you're telling us to flee like cowards.

Are you looking down on us or what?

Senior, your concerns

are my concerns.

That's right, Mr. Xiao.

After all our years of friendship,

this time, I swear to stand with the Xiao family.

I've often come here for tea over these years.

How can I not align myself with the Xiao family?

I... will certainly stick with Father.

Mr. Xiao,

we're Qiushui's sworn brothers.

We will not back down.

You have a death wish or what?

We've sworn to live and die together.

You can't change my mind.

Since my brother has chosen to stay,

I'll be here with him as well.

For the sake of the martial world,

it's the right thing to do.

Sect Leader Xiao,

Qiushui saved my life.

I'll be with him in adversity.

Young gentlemen and lady,

how righteous of you.

I truly appreciate your help.

Today, with so many heroes here,

however formidable the Power Gang is,

we'll stand a chance of fighting them off.

Thank you so much.

Sect Leader!

Sect Leader!

Out there comes...

[Xiao Residence]

The fog is poisonous. Everyone, be careful!

So the plot is following the original story.

But I did save Tang Rou's life.

Does it mean

it's possible for me to rescue the Xiao family

and help everyone survive this disaster?

Form a formation!

I've heard much about

the Power Gang's omnipotent members.

Each is a top-class master.

Now that you've come to Huanhua Sect,

why not show up and meet me?

I'd like to a be a good host to you all!

Even your own life is at stake.

How can you be a good host?

Sect Leader Xiao, you're overestimating yourself.

[Kong Yangqin] [Sword Demon, Power Gang]

You must be the Sword Demon,

Kong Yangqin.

Today, I came here

to ask you for one thing, Sect Leader Xiao.

One thing?

Aren't you here

for the Northern Wastelanders' evil aide Fu Tianyi?

His life was worth nothing.

Sect Leader Xiao, hand over the Hero Command Token now.

I'm afraid you'll be disappointed.

The Xiao family doesn't have the Hero Command Token.

Fine.

I guess you've braced yourself for the deaths

of your entire family.

Since we're part of the martial world,

we'll face death without dread.

Good.

Life is short. People have to die one day.

This tune shall be your funeral dirge!

I remember the attackers of the Xiao family

include Kong Yangqin, Sha Qiandeng

and the Poison Demon

who looks like a child,

named Hua Gufen.

He's a real expert at poison.

I must locate him first.

[Sha Qiandeng] [Wolf Demon of Flying Daggers, Power Gang]

Qiushui!

Let go. He's not a kid anymore.

Mother, don't worry.

Look out for yourself.

Qiushui, be wary of the puppet warriors!

They only know to kill.

Weapons can't hurt them!

[Hua Gufen] [Poison Demon, Power Gang]

Xiao's disciples, form a sword formation!

Xilou, are you alright?

I'm fine.

Qiushui, how are you?

I'm fine. Are you okay?

How are you?

I'm fine.

Kill!

Charge!

Charge!

Charge!

Xilou!

Father.

-Are you okay? -Xilou.

I'm all good.

Back to the Sword Manor.

Got it.

-Let's go. -Go.

Move.

Go after them!

Master, Master!

Madam!

How is everyone?

Go, attend to the wounded.

Yes. Get a move on! Come with me.

-Slowly. -Come this way.

Careful.

Mr. Xiao, how long can we hold out here?

Don't worry, Mr. Kang.

When the Sword Manor was under construction,

the possibility of

Huanhua Sect resisting the Northern Wastelanders

right here was taken into consideration.

It's as solid as a fortress

with abundant provisions.

We can stay here for months

or even longer.

Rest assured.

They've all retreated to the Sword Manor

as Master expected.

Qiushui has really grown up.

He can handle things on his own now.

Don't be cocky, Son.

You must refrain from acting recklessly again.

Father, Mother,

I understand.

Now, I need your confirmation

on a very important issue.

Is Old Madam Wu in the Xiao Residence?

You're saying...

Many guards were placed around a bed chamber.

Kong Yangqin specifically asked for the Hero Command Token.

I-Isn't it obvious?

Father, Mother,

is Old Madam Wu safe now?

That day, when you made a kerfuffle

with that thing called searchlight,

your father and I started to feel worried.

So, we sent Old Madam Wu to the Sword Manor early.

She's now staying at Zhenmei Pavilion.

What happened today proves

we made a right decision in time.

Father, Mother,

is there a secret passage in our residence

that allows us

to leave Huanhua Sect undetected?

The Sword Manor is as good as a fortress.

What do we need a secret passage for?

Besides,

the enemies outside have besieged us.

There's no way for us to sneak out.

But don't you worry.

This place is impenetrable.

Staying here

can keep us from danger for some time.

However, we've planned

to escort Old Madam Wu to meet

General Wu's soldiers in two days.

I'm afraid that won't happen as scheduled.

Father, Mother,

though I don't know the next moves

of the Power Gang,

I always have a feeling

that they've prepared a trick or two.

If they have a spy in the Sword Manor,

then this place is not as safe as we think.

How thoughtful of you.

But don't worry.

We've made proper arrangements.

However, everyone is exhausted now.

Once the situation is stabilized,

your mother and I will conduct a thorough check.

Alright. Many of us got wounded

in today's battle.

Before discussing the next steps,

why not have a feast first?

Your mother is right.

Let's raise our glasses.

I extend my heartfelt gratitude to you all.

Cheers.

Thanks, Mr. Xiao.

Bottoms up!

Mr. Xiao,

the Power Gang has surrounded the Sword Manor.

Yet here we are, enjoying food and drinks inside.

I mean...

During the reign of Emperor Taizong...

Enjoy.

Our army once retreated in defeat.

Everybody was in panic,

except General Li Ji, who ate as usual and commanded the troops

with composure.

That was how General Taizong stayed unscathed.

Now, let's learn from the wise men of the past

and maintain our heroic spirit.

It's a pity that our wounded fellows in recovery

are missing out on this feast.

When Qiushui confronted the Power Gang today,

he didn't fear at all.

How brave and clever of him.

No wonder Mr. Kang strongly recommended him.

He's truly an impressive young hero.

Stop paying compliments to him, guys.

Or Qiushui will become too proud.

You punish him every now and then.

Maybe it's a way to train him to be a real master.

Come on, Qiushui.

A toast to you.

Uncle Zhu, this is too much.

Just have a drink. Go ahead.

Uncle Zhu, it should be me

who makes a toast to everyone

for your dedication to Huanhua Sect.

I've read many stories about heroes.

I found what they did

truly admirable.

But I thought...

stories were just stories

and that they wouldn't happen in reality.

Nonetheless, today, seeing each of you fighting

for Huanhua Sect in regardless of danger,

I found you more admirable than those characters.

Here, I propose a toast to you all.

Come on, guys.

-Come on. -I like what you said.

Bottoms up.

-Come on. -Drink it up.

Cheers.

Cheers!

Cheers.

Such good wine.

Alright.

Fill my glass.

Do it yourself.

Drink with me.

Come on.

Nice wine.

Why didn't you finish it?

I...

-You must be punished! -I'll fill your glass.

Such good wine.

-Punishment! -Punishment!

-Come on. -You two...

Fill up the glasses.

Thank you, everyone.

Cheers.

Let's get drunk!

-Cheers. -Cheers.

Pour some more.

No need to rush.

-Come on. -You're spilling it!

Are you drunk before drinking it?

Bottoms up!

Cheers.

Dig in, guys.

Let me fill your glass.

Miss Tang, a toast to you.

What are you doing, Fang?

Eat now, you.

Fine.

Fang, I thought

cutthroat competition was all that had left in Tang Sect.

But when you said you'd stick with the Xiao family

to save Jinzhong's martial community,

I finally realized

that my sister was born with

a sense of justice and righteousness.

Fang, a toast to you.

Right.

Let's make a toast to Miss Tang.

A toast to you, Miss Tang.

Alright. Go have drinks.

Off you go.

Cheers.

Fish is good for the brain.

Indeed.

Fish improves intelligence. You should eat more of it.

Come on!

I chose to stay only to look for the Voidheart Codex.

How foolish of you boys.

-Cheers, guys. -Cheers.

Drink it up.

Everyone!

Third Young Master.

You all did a good job.

Here's a toast to all of you.

To Third Young Master!

Cheers!

Take your seats.

-Okay. -Sit down.

Come on, guys.

Drink with me.

Guys, come on.

-Hey, guys. -Bottoms up!

Fill your glasses, guys!

-Bottoms up! -Pour some more!

How pleasant!

Sir, please

stop ringing the bell!

It seems like the Misery Pill you ate years ago

still works.

Thank you, sir.

Rest assured, sir.

I will never betray the chief.

You've been in Huanhua Sect for years.

It is high time you carried out tasks.

Yes.

I pledge my allegiance to the Power Gang.

I'll never betray you, sir.

I knew I was right.

Yeah.

Bad news! Bad news!

The woodshed is on fire!

The woodshed is on fire?

Let's go!

Hurry! Go!

Be quick!

Let's go.

Hurry!

It feels wrong.

This is a distraction.
