[The Journey of Legend]

[Episode 21]

Shao Liulei, how dare you!

I will kill you!

Mr. Shao, why did you do this?

Boy.

If Crazy Yan really sent you to find me,

he'd surely be protecting you in secret.

But when this girl tried to steal the pill,

he still didn't show up.

This proves you're lying.

The moment

you claimed that Crazy Yan felt guilty toward me,

you gave yourself away.

He abducted me for 10 years,

using every cruel method imaginable on me.

How could he possibly feel guilty?

So Shao Liulei was testing me from the very beginning.

Never thought he'd been scheming all along.

What's even more ridiculous is

that you want to take this Infinite Pill.

Since you know

he forced me to take half of the Yang pill,

in no case would he leave the Yin pill behind.

This last pill is the half Yang pill.

Once you take it,

you'll end up with the same fate as me,

being tortured by the primal Yang energy.

That's worse than death.

You're not his younger brother.

You lied to me!

I hate being deceived more than anything.

You all say I betrayed them to help Crazy Yan.

But it was actually Zhu the Great King

using me as a shield against his fatal move.

He deceived me, too.

He lied to me

that the Long River's waterways would see me as a hero.

But after suffering for so many years,

I escaped only to hear

that you all consider me a traitor.

Why did I escape?

Was it really to offer this elixir

to Zhu the Great King?

I want him to swallow it.

I want him to suffer

from the primal Yang energy every day just like me.

I'll make all of you who once deceived me

taste every bit

of the suffering I've endured!

You attacked me from behind when I was suffering from the primal Yang energy.

Guess what I most want to do now.

What do you want to do?

My body is about to burst due to the primal Yang energy.

I need to balance Yin and Yang, of course.

They told me that in Yunxia Mountain,

there are spiritual insects used to make Yin pills.

Taking them would relieve my suffering.

But I've searched for so long and found nothing.

All liars!

Now I'll use you to relieve my pain.

Do you know who I am?

I know.

A beautiful woman.

I work for Mr. Liu, Liu Suifeng.

If you dare lay a finger on me,

my master will make you suffer a hundred times more than you do now.

Even if what you say is true,

do you think I'd care about it?

You look so beautiful when you're angry.

Don't you dare!

Shao Liulei,

you'll regret this.

Boy,

you're way too nice.

Mr. Shao,

what makes us human

is that we must have some dignity.

Dignity?

Who are you to talk to me about dignity?

Do you know what I've been through these past ten years?

I've lived like neither human nor ghost,

worse off than a rat!

Have you ever suffered like I have?

Not having experienced my pain,

how dare you talk to me about dignity?

Since you're so righteous,

swallow this Yang pill.

Then you'll end up just like me.

I have Crazy Yan's vital energy to keep me alive.

But you don't.

You'll be tortured to death within two hours.

But you can learn from me.

Use this girl

to ease your pain for a few days.

Then let me see

what you'll choose between your life

and your dignity.

Boy,

if death comes after the sexual pleasure,

I'd call it a good ending.

I've sealed this girl's pressure points

and yours, too.

I'll throw both of you to the bottom of the valley.

By then,

an antidote at your disposal

will be lying right beside you.

You...

What will you choose?

To live

or to die?

To live

or to die?

To live

or to die?

Zhu the Great King,

I haven't gotten even with you yet.

The Yang pill is gone, and I'll get you another poisonous pill.

I must have my revenge.

You took that pill.

A-Are you alright?

Song Mingzhu,

I'll never forgive you for massacring my family.

If you want to live, get the hell out of here.

Unlock my pressure points.

I can help you heal.

Shut up!

Xiao Qiushui.

Now you can kill me if you want.

I have no strength to resist.

Even if you saved me,

next time,

I'd still fight you with all my might

for my master

and show no mercy.

I can't unlock your pressure points.

I can't stop the pill from taking effect on me.

Once the time's up,

your pressure points will be unlocked.

Listen,

get the hell as far away from me as possible!

My body is about to burst due to the primal Yang energy.

I need to balance Yin and Yang, of course.

They told me that in Yunxia Mountain,

there are spiritual insects used to make Yin pills.

Taking them would relieve my suffering.

Snake venom.

Could it be that the white snake's venom

is the ingredient for the Yin pill of the Infinite Pill?

My internal energy is rising.

The rampant yang energy has been resolved.

Could I have gained 60 years' worth of martial power?

Xiao Qiushui,

you're really different from others.

If it were me,

as long as I could survive a few more days,

I wouldn't care about anyone else's life.

Thanks.

Stop there.

You people from the Power Gang

truly have no conscience.

Song Mingzhu, answer me.

Where are my parents' bodies?

You saved my life today.

So I'll tell you honestly.

Your parents' bodies

were taken away by my master.

But I really don't know

where he sent them.

As someone so close to him,

how could you not know?

My master only mentioned he had leads to follow.

How could I dare to ask more?

You'd better not be lying.

I should've killed you with one blow

and sent your bodies

one by one to the Sword Manor

to avenge those of the Xiao family who died in vain.

Go tell Liu Suifeng

and that Li Chenzhou.

For the blood debts your Power Gang owes,

I will settle them one by one.

Xiao Qiushui has actually absorbed the Infinite Pill.

Isn't Master in danger then?

Have all the Power Gang members left?

Is this place safe now?

Roushui and the others are dealing with the Power Gang.

Go ahead with what you want to say.

I risked my life

to seize this Infinite Pill

just to present it to the King.

You've done well.

I will tell the Heavenly King about your dedication.

Long time no see, Kang Chuyu.

Xiao Qiushui?

What are you doing here, you good-for-nothing?

Take a guess.

I have serious matters to attend to.

If you wish to die, I'll come kill you later.

I'm afraid you won't be leaving today.

You're asking for death.

Didn't expect this man to have such powerful internal energy.

Kang Chuyu.

You betrayed your friends, against all loyalty.

You slaughtered the innocent, against all morality.

You deserve to die the most tragic death!

Today,

I will make you pay for the deaths

of over 100 people in my Xiao family!

Tang Rou,

did you see that?

I finally made Kang Chuyu pay for your death.

Father,

Mother,

for the blood debts of our family,

I will settle them one by one.

Now that Zhu the Great King knows

that we're enemies of the Shaolin and Wudang Sects,

you're still causing trouble everywhere during this time,

hampering our gang's every move.

How dare you show your face here?

I know my sins are unforgivable.

But I submit myself to the Chief's judgment.

I only want the Chief to give me a chance

to atone for my sins.

The Chief already gave you a chance before

and let you leave.

But you chose to stay.

Since you want this opportunity,

the Chief said

you must seek it yourself.

Is this what the Chief means?

I understand.

I'll set out for Wudang Sect now to beg for forgiveness.

I never thought you'd be the one to see me off in the end.

Liu Suifeng,

are you still suspecting

that I sent someone to impersonate the Chief to frame you?

No way it was you.

You don't have the audacity

to have someone impersonate the Chief.

Put these on yourself.

Liu Suifeng,

wake up!

Don't you dare die on the way.

It'd mess up my mission.

The Chief wants me to reach the Wudang Sect alive.

And I certainly will make it.

Greetings from the Wudang Sect.

Our sect leader sent us here to receive you.

Please hand this criminal over to us.

Greetings, sirs.

When was this arrangement made?

I've never heard of it.

This is a letter from our sect leader.

[To the Power Gang]

He was concerned about your fatigue from the long journey.

Since there's still some distance to the Wudang Sect,

he ordered us to come meet you.

This is true.

Judging by the handwriting,

this is indeed the Wudang Sect's official correspondence.

You two must be tired from your journey north.

You could rest nearby.

We'll take the criminal from here.

Wait.

We only briefly informed the Wudang Sect

that we'd be escorting Liu Suifeng to face punishment.

How did you know we were traveling north?

Just a slip of the tongue.

Blade King, please don't overthink it.

We've been traveling discreetly.

We should have headed east.

But to avoid attention,

we deliberately detoured to the southern stronghold

and then headed north to the Wudang Sect.

How could you possibly know about it?

Could it be that someone

leaked our itinerary to you in advance?

Tell me

who sent you here.

You must have

stolen our correspondence

and rushed to forge this letter, right?

Move!

Chieftess?

Chieftess.

We fell into their trap.

Thankfully, you came to help.

Thank you for your help, Chieftess.

These people have finally shown

their sly true colors.

Take them back for interrogation.

Yes.

Leave Liu Suifeng to me.

Even though you did something wrong,

he still can't bear to let you die.

[15 years ago]

Stop there!

You brat! Stop there!

Stop!

Stop running!

I'll kill you!

Hey..

How dare you flee?

You won't get away!

I'll

beat you to death!

Why did you save me?

Why did I save you?

Let me think about it.

You saved my life.

In return, I'll help you kill a person.

That doesn't sound

very appealing.

Then I'll give my life to you.

Give your life to me? That's not necessary.

I like the coldness in your eyes.

It would be a waste for you to die here.

Take this.

You've been following me all the way.

What's wrong?

My life is yours now.

Where else could I go if I'm not following you?

But you've been tortured to a terrible state.

What's the point of keeping you around us?

If I recover, I can kill and plunder for you.

If not, I can chop wood and lead horses.

I can be useful either way.

Things have come to this point,

yet the Chief still hasn't abandoned me.

I felt something on the way.

I just didn't know the Chief's detailed plan.

So I could only play along.

So you had noticed that it was

Chenzhou's plan to lure the snake out of its hole.

If the Chief wants me to sacrifice myself

to appease the wrath of the Shaolin and Wudang Sects,

I would do so without complaint.

Suifeng,

both Chenzhou and I have long placed our trust in you.

We know that even if everyone in our gang betrays us,

you never would.

Our gang has made many enemies over the years.

Our previous plans were all exposed.

Chenzhou thought

that there must be spies and moles planted within our gang.

If we don't get rid of them,

there will never be peace in our gang.

So we utilized the case

of you killing Tianzheng and Taichan

to make a fuss and set up a trap

to root out these spies.

The Chief is truly far-sighted.

I owe my life

to you and the Chief.

If there ever comes a day when you truly lose trust in me,

I'll literally end up like a walking corpse.

I'd rather die than live like that.

You should rest here.

I'll go back to interrogate those traitors.

If there are any updates, I'll send someone to inform you.

Master.

It's getting cold at night.

Please take care and rest well, Master.

I'm fine.

I heard you got into trouble,

and I was so worried.

My issue's been settled.

The Chief's no longer blaming me.

Master, if you leave the Power Gang,

I, the Red Phoenix,

will have no attachment to it either.

While I was away,

how were things going with the Xiao family?

Don't worry, Master.

Xiao Yiren's been sending recruitment invitations all over Jindu,

trying to rebuild the Huanhua Sect,

but no one's interested. They're getting nowhere.

Those small sects that used to follow the Xiao family

have turned against them, too.

Xiao Yiren is headstrong and arrogant,

obsessed with being a hero.

But he only cares about maintaining a hollow reputation.

He can't cause us any trouble.

But that Xiao Qiushui...

Someone like him

is lucky just to survive in the martial world.

He doesn't deserve your attention, Master.

Do you genuinely think he's not worth mentioning,

or are you trying to protect him?

Please speak plainly, Master.

I can tolerate occasional failures,

but you should know well

about the consequences of betrayal.

I dare not do that.

I will never betray you in my life, Master.

If you suspect me,

you can kill me right now.

I suppose you wouldn't dare betray me.

You didn't mention a word about the Infinite Pill.

Did something go wrong?

Where is it?

One was swallowed by Shao Liulei.

And the other one

was grabbed by the Flame Lord, Cai Qishen.

Shao Liulei's martial arts are stronger than mine.

I went through great trouble

just to escape and survive.

If this happens again,

don't bother coming back.

You may leave now.

Yes, Master.

Even if I'm willing to die for my master,

it didn't move him at all.

Song Mingzhu,

what are you still fantasizing about?

I'm satisfied with just staying

by Master's side.

These days, the Chieftess and I

have been secretly investigating clues about this falconry whistle.

We only know it's a mysterious group backed up by the Northern Wasteland,

deliberately planted in the martial world to work for the Northern Wasteland.

I always use one blade for one kill.

These are for you.

Confess or choose a blade.

It's up to you.

The Misery Pill from the Death Beetle is incredibly powerful.

If you don't reveal who's behind this falconry whistle now,

I'll let it roam inside your body.

By day, you'll suffer unbearable itching, like being tortured by numerous ants.

At night, you'll endure excruciating pain, like being skinned alive.

You'll keep begging

for relief.

I only know the leaders met at Qingfeng Mansion.

[Qingfeng Mansion]

Fire King, you made one wrong move,

then everything went wrong.

So you ended up here.

You and I are old acquaintances.

We've always been on good terms in the gang and never fought before.

I've prepared a blade

for each of you Seven Kings.

Take your pick.

Li Chenzhou must be out of his mind,

sending you over to kill me.

That's not true.

I just want you to tell me

who's behind this falconry whistle.

As for whether we should kill you, Fire King,

it's not up to me.

You traitor to the gang,

you have nowhere to escape.

This is the Marching Pill formula

found in your mansion.

And that falconry whistle.

They're enough to prove you betrayed us and colluded with the Northern Wasteland.

What else do you have to say?

Since you have figured it out,

I need to say no more.

That's right.

We've long been Falconry Whistle members.

Fire King,

you're an elder of our gang.

I'll give you a chance to make amends.

Tell us honestly who your superior is

and if there are others in the gang working for the Falconry Whistle.

The Falconry Whistle's rise is unstoppable.

It's too late for you to do anything!

Fine.

Then let me ask you.

Were you involved in the massacre

of the Baicao Valley back then?

I've been living as quite a figure for all my life.

If I did it, I would never deny it.

If I didn't do it, in no case would I admit it.

I stole that formula from the Diancang Sect.

As for this Baicao Valley,

I know nothing about it.

You, Liu Suifeng, just killed Tianzheng and Taichan,

causing outrage throughout the martial world.

How dare you still keep him by your side?

The Power Gang's days are numbered, I guess.

As for everything I've done,

it was all for long-term planning.

You're thinking too highly of yourselves.

You think you're the only ones who know

what's inside that Hero Command Token?

Still showing no remorse, you'll be

dealt with under the gang's rules!

I've long anticipated this day.

Back then,

to prevent wars among the Eight Kings, Li Chenzhou

made us take

the Misery Pills made from our own blood.

Now I've mastered the foreign Vein Melting Technique

and have already purged the poison from my veins.

If they kill me, the poison will act up,

and they can only see themselves die.

But I can kill them!

The Death Beetle has come out of his body.

The restriction effect of the Misery Pill in the Fire King's body is removed.

He is no longer one of the Eight Kings.

We can attack him now.

I'll take you to hell with me!

I'll use this Flame Palm I've hidden for a decade

to burn you all to ashes!

This blade is called Piercer.

Your death honors its name.

I feel sorry for you, Suifeng.

He's not the foe you're after.

You will have to wait again to get your revenge.

At least we retrieved the formula before it fell into the wrong hands.

This should bring some peace to the souls of Baicao Valley.

But the Fire King was determined to die.

The Falconry Whistle's spies and their plans

will need further investigation.

The Fire King refused to confess till his death.

It shows how far-reaching the Falconry Whistle's schemes are.

They tricked Suifeng into killing Tianzheng and Taichan,

creating conflicts between us and the Shaolin and Wudang Sects

as well as internal strife within the Power Gang.

They're clearly no ordinary adversaries.

As flawless as the disguise technique was,

it could only be the Thousand-Faces Mask of the Fei's three greatest artifacts.

Back then, Mr. Fei claimed

that the Thousand-Faces Mask was burned and destroyed.

But I've always had my doubts about that.

I have indeed heard that this Thousand-Faces Mask

has the miraculous power to deceive anyone.

If our enemies truly possess it,

it'll be even more difficult to deal with them.

Desperate times call for desperate measures.

We don't have much time left.

Suifeng.

Send someone to investigate

whether this matter is related to the Fei family.

Yes.

Besides,

tell the Ghost King to speed up

and produce more Death Beetles as soon as possible.

The Ghost King reports

that over the past month,

the Insect King has lost its vitality

and is barely alive.

Only the Heaven-Earth Pool behind the Insect Valley of the Tang Sect

can revitalize it.

The Tang Sect never allows outsiders into the Insect Valley.

If we rush in recklessly,

we might hurt the Insect King and ruin everything.

On the Night of Yin-Hai,

the Tang Sect will compete for the position of Master,

which might cause them to open the Insect Valley.

When taking risky measures,

you must be extremely cautious

and must not offend Old Madam Tang.

Understood.

I won't fail your trust, Chief.

Is there still something you're worried about?

The Wudang Sect, the Shaolin Sect,

and other sects in the martial world are seeking revenge against us.

Quite a few bases of the Power Gang have been destroyed.

Now, Zhu the Great King from the Long River waterways

has suddenly risen to power.

I feel something fishy about this.

The Falconry Whistle probably wants

far more than just to stir up trouble in the martial world.

This mastermind wants to challenge our Power Gang.

Then let's see what he's got.
