[The Journey of Legend]

[Episode 37]

Chief.

Liu Suifeng did exactly as you predicted.

He sent Song Mingzhu to the pharmacy for medicine.

Could it be harmful to you?

It won't be.

Then why is Chief...

I won't agree to what he wants to do.

But I can't talk him out of it either.

You should continue

to keep a close eye on Suifeng.

I understand.

Master.

Please reconsider.

The Tang Sect living medicine vessel said,

those who became living medicine vessel

are neither human nor ghost.

A fate worse than death.

Mingzhu is afraid.

I'm afraid that I might never see you again.

Get out.

I don't want you to see

what I look like after taking the medicine.

Turns out he endures pain beyond what normal people could bear.

all for the Chief.

Master is turning himself

into a living medicine vessel for Chief.

He wants to trade his life for another.

Master.

Mingzhu will never leave your side.

I've called you all here today

because we've received news.

General Wu has started his journey back to the capital.

The Falconry Whistle Organization has colluded with the Northern Wasteland

and bypassed Immortal Pass.

They're using the waterways to smuggle elite Northern Wastelanders

into Daxi

with sinister intentions.

General Wu's return journey is extremely dangerous.

I ask you all to ensure General Wu's safety.

Take down the Falconry Whistle's base

and restore peace to Daxi.

Take down the Falconry Whistle's base

and destroy the Waterways' schemes.

We will do our best.

That's right.

The survival of the nation is every citizen’s responsibility.

We shall contribute our efforts.

We shall contribute our efforts.

Thank you.

Come.

Everyone, look.

Here.

You'll go this way.

You'll come with me this way.

Good. Is that clear?

Good.

Brothers.

This is Wu Jie.

Take a good look at him.

We'll set up ambushes along the route

and catch him completely off guard.

Good.

Nobody move!

You pack of scoundrels!

How dare you plot against General Wu!

Today, we brothers will carry out heaven's justice.

Take them down!

Over ten martial world criminals have been captured.

They all claim to be hired by the Long River waterways.

Anyone who provides information

will be generously rewarded.

Whoever captures Wu Jie

will be rewarded ten thousand taels.

Around Zhoushan Town in Western Capital,

General Wu's whereabouts have been discovered.

Likely due to the previous attack,

he has changed his route to the capital.

Near a Guan Temple in the west of town,

unknown martial world figures have been spotted.

Guan Temple in the Western Capital.

[Wu Jie, Renowned Border General of Daxi]

Lord Guan is a man of great honour

who protected Han with absolute loyalty.

He deserves our admiration.

Such a pity

that years of warfare

have left his temple in disrepair.

After we strike at the heart of the enemy,

we will surely return to rebuild the temple.

Now that traitors are ruling the court,

returning would only mean death for us.

Death itself doesn't matter,

but how can a true man endure such humiliation?

We should return to Immortal Pass

and join our brothers

to fight all the way to the Northern Wasteland capital

and see if they dare defy us again.

Jiang Yue!

Show some respect.

I acknowledge my fault.

I can't blame you for this.

The people are in the depths of misery.

But the Emperor's authority is supreme

and his grace is like heaven.

We must not speak rashly against him.

If everyone acted this way,

there would be no order,

destroying a family's honour.

How disgraceful will that be?

If a nation loses its laws and principles,

disaster and ruin will follow swiftly.

A general in the field may sometimes disregard orders,

but our country is facing many troubles

at this critical time of repelling invaders.

If I were to act rebelliously,

I fear I would play into the traitors' hands,

harm the state

and become a sinner for the ages.

Big Brother,

the court is summoning you back

only to kill you!

This is their conspiracy.

Even if we must return,

there's no need to rush.

Jiang Yue!

You guys may leave now.

Yes.

Yes.

Lord Guan,

our nation faces great peril now,

with Northern Wasteland invading

and traitors within.

With your loyal heart and courage,

please watch over this situation

and protect us.

This journey I take

will likely end in my death.

The traitors want me dead to feel secure,

the court wants me dead to feel at ease,

and the Northern Wastelanders wants me dead to be content.

I, Wu Xie, count my life as nothing.

But our land remains divided,

and the Northern Wastelanders

have invaded without cause,

plundering, killing, and seizing our people with cruelty.

Thus I swore to lead troops against the enemy.

Now I have three wishes.

First, I pray for the nation's peace

and the world's tranquility.

If my death

can win the people's hearts,

eliminate traitors,

protect Daxi,

and restore our territory,

I will die with a smile.

My second wish

is that the court take only my life

and spare my brothers in arms

and the innocent civilians.

The border defence is weak.

We absolutely cannot withdraw.

A withdrawal would waste all our efforts.

Our brothers who shed blood and sweat

would have died in vain.

May Lord Guan bless us.

Big Brother.

The Emperor's messenger has arrived.

Greetings, General Wu.

[Wu Jie to return immediately]

Spread the word.

We leave immediately.

Yes, sir.

For my third wish,

I'm willing to go through hell and high water.

Otherwise,

when our country is no longer a country,

how can we have homes?

When the nest falls,

no eggs remain intact.

I hope our frontline soldiers can defend Immortal Pass to the death.

Hero,

you truly care about me.

I appreciate it deeply.

I'm not acting on impulse

or seeking fame for posterity.

I'm simply willing to die

to preserve my complete loyalty.

[General Wu in peril at the Guan Temple of Zhoushan, Western Capital]

Brother.

Yuan'er.

Brother.

The Soul-Piercing Nail was just removed.

You should be resting properly now

and follow instructions.

Yuan'er.

You've really grown up,

not like before.

You used to follow me around calling "brother" all the time.

Look,

now you're the one taking care of me.

Who told you to be so troublesome?

Oh right,

look at this.

This is...

This is for you.

For me?

It's beautiful.

Do you like it?

Of course I like it, it's from you.

Is it pretty?

It's gorgeous.

This medicine is too bitter.

How nice it would be to have some fresh fish right now.

I'll go make some fish for you right away.

Wait for me.

Brother.

Who would have thought,

all the notorious villains

in the Daxi martial world have gathered.

Zhu the Great King, of the waterways,

has sent Wanli, Qianli, and Baili,

three great masters here.

Today,

we will capture General Wu in one fell swoop.

How dare you!

Such treacherous traitors,

shameless and despicable!

Let me clear the obstacles for General Wu!

In the Western Capital, there's revelry every night,

while at the border, soldiers die wrapped in horsehide.

Poor Lord Guan,

no one even worships him anymore.

General,

it looks like there was just a fight here.

Mr. Yan.

As they say, a true man would rather die on the battlefield

than perish at the hands of sycophants.

Those people I killed outside

aren't just scums of the martial world.

Northern Wastelanders have infiltrated among them.

There's a bounty from the waterways

to ambush and kill you.

General Wu,

please reconsider.

If you're in danger,

it would be the same as

the death of countless civilians.

Mr. Yan speaks words of wisdom.

However...

However what?

Although I know this journey is dangerous,

I must still proceed.

Only by meeting the Emperor in person,

can I possibly protect our nation.

Daxi faces many hardships,

snd now is the time to repel our enemies.

If I were to back down,

I fear it would play right into

the schemes of those treacherous court officials.

If something happens to you,

who else in the world

could lead troops against the Northern Wastelanders

and protect our land?

Mr. Yan, your good intentions

are appreciated.

General Wu.

What if I use this Hero Command Token

to stop you

from returning to court?

The fate of Daxi

is in your hands.

I have no choice.

I'll let you die knowing the truth.

It's you.

Where is General Wu?

General Wu has been captured by my waterway agents,

Wanli, Qianli, and Baili.

Today at this Guan Di Temple,

you are the one we've been waiting for.

The number one madman of the martial world,

Crazy Yan.

Your internal energy,

I shall take it all.

Brother!

Brother!

Xiao Kaiyan, you're insane!

I won't let you hurt my brother!

Now that you have your real brother,

have you forgotten about me, your second brother?

You're the one who harmed our parents

and destroyed the Xiao family.

You don't deserve to be my brother.

Then watch carefully.

See who is truly superior

and who is the true heir of the Xiao family.

No!

You don't want him to die?

Fine.

As long as you obediently follow my orders

and do as I say.

I promise you.

As long as you don't harm my brother,

I'm willing to exchange my life for his.

I won't let you die.

Crazy Yan,

didn't you want to see General Wu?

Take him away.

Alliance Leader Xiao.

We were ambushed on our way back to the capital.

The General, seeing the situation was suspicious,

ordered us to split up

and take the imperial tiger tally with us

to pass it to you, Alliance Leader Xiao.

I ask that Alliance Leader Xiao safeguard this tiger tally

and rescue the General.

Qiu.

Take Deputy Commander Jiang to rest.

Yes.

Thank you.

Deputy Commander Jiang, please.

I've carefully selected these for you.

Do you like them?

Don't frown.

You're not beautiful when you frown.

Look at my water fortress.

It's a hundred times more magnificent than Huanhua's.

If you come with me,

whatever Yiren and Qiushui can give you,

I'll give you twice as much.

Wealth and luxury,

power and prestige,

you'll have it all.

I want to see my brother.

As long as you behave,

your brother won't die.

I'll even let you see each other often.

How about wearing this one?

It suits you quite well.

It looks beautiful.

Mr. Yan, you're very clever.

You didn't struggle too much.

You should know that I've already blocked

all your pressure points.

The Three Crown Kings of the Outer Realm.

You are Baili, Frozen Pavilions,

[The Three Crown Kings of the Outer Realm; Baili, Frozen Pavilions]

[The Three Crown Kings of the Outer Realm; Qianli, Lone Plum Blossoms]

Qianli, Lone Plum Blossoms,

and Wanli, Endless Plains.

[The Three Crown Kings of the Outer Realm; Wanli, Endless Plains.]

As expected of Crazy Yan.

We've been in seclusion for years,

yet you still recognise us.

I just never thought

we would meet here.

If I hadn't promised General Helian

to prioritize the greater mission,

I would really like to test my skills against the best in the Central Plains.

You're just talking to yourselves.

You think I can't break through these pressure points?

Mr. Yan's martial arts are unparalleled.

Of course you can.

However,

I won't give you that much time.

Mr. Yan's martial prowess

will soon be mine to use.

The "Voidheart Codex" from the Central Plains

actually contains such strange techniques.

What's happening?

Why can't I absorb

all your power?

The Voidheart Codex

must have been obtained

through despicable means, right?

So you only know how to absorb,

but not how to transform the energy.

Want to absorb my power?

Be careful not to burst yourself.

That's not for you to worry.

Sooner or later,

I will take

every single bit of your power.

Seniors,

please take good care of Mr. Yan.

I heard that Chief

will be entering the palace tomorrow.

Today, Suifeng

has come specially to see you off.

I wish you a smooth journey.

May the great cause planned for Daxi

surely succeed.

Suifeng,

that's thoughtful of you.

The second cup.

I wish the Chief good health

and longevity.

In life or death, I, Suifeng,

am willing to follow you, Chief.

Before drinking this cup,

I also have a toast

for you.

I hope when this is over,

you can have your own life,

not bound by the Power Gang,

not bound to me,

nor trapped by grudges.

I will try my best.

Why?

It’s in this wine

that your true dream lies.

Have a good sleep.

Chief.

You can't enter the palace.

How is he?

He won't eat or drink,

and doesn't say a word.

Your mind is in chaos.

It's only a matter of time before you lose control of your powers.

Shut up!

At a time like this,

you still dare to be so insolent?

Go!

Bring Xiao Xueyu here.

Yes.

Brother.

Xueyu.

Don't you have a lot to say to him?

Try to persuade him.

-Brother. -I'm fine.

In a few days,

I'll find a way to get you out.

No need.

I don't want you to take risks for me.

Brother.

Listen to me.

What I'm about to say is crucial.

Come here.

The Voidheart Codex.

The 15 tiers of the Voidheart Codex are

Heaven's Will, Earth's Shape, King's Rule, Family's Love, Master's Teaching,

Metal's Break, Wood's Resist, Water's Flow, Fire's Spread, Earth's Cover,

Sun's Glow, Moon's Reflection, Wind's Path, Cloud's Shade, and Self's Void.

The carriage has arrived.

Shirong,

it's time to go back.

For your first time in the capital,

you stayed in the palace for three days.

The second time, you stayed for ten days.

After that, your stays have became longer and longer.

This time,

I don't know when you'll return.

Things

always get harder as they progress.

Fortunately,

it's almost over.

Don't worry.

As long as I've done my best,

I have no regrets.

Chief!

Chief!

Master!

Master, you're awake.

Has the Chief

already entered the palace?

Yes.

No!

I must get him back.

Master!

Even if we chase after him now,

it's already too late.

The Chief has maneuvered through life.

His actions must've been carefully considered.

I hope...

I hope the Chief

can use his internal energy to suppress the poison.

As long as it doesn't damage his heart meridian,

there might still be a glimmer of hope.

Master, please don't panic.

There must be a way.

Drink this herbal medicine to calm your nerves.
