00:01:41,330 --> 00:01:43,910
[Episode 29]

3
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:45,479
Yiren!

4
00:01:49,870 --> 00:01:52,710
The Tribulation Finger
on each of you has been detoxified.

5
00:01:52,710 --> 00:01:54,120
Those who choose not to believe us

6
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:56,580
may take their share
of the reward and leave.

7
00:01:59,229 --> 00:01:59,950
Mr. Xiao,

8
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:02,040
you saved us

9
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:04,070
in our moment of peril yesterday.

10
00:02:04,070 --> 00:02:06,350
What is your take on his words?

11
00:02:08,150 --> 00:02:10,479
Li Chenzhou is profoundly unfathomable.

12
00:02:10,630 --> 00:02:13,490
It would be unwise
to confront him at this juncture,

13
00:02:13,900 --> 00:02:16,030
and victory would be far from certain.

14
00:02:17,590 --> 00:02:19,840
Aiding the border garrisons
is our most urgent priority.

15
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:21,400
May these treasures suffice

16
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:23,600
for the needs of our frontier warriors.

17
00:02:24,079 --> 00:02:26,520
To all gathered here today
at Nantian Abyss—

18
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:29,240
including us, the Xiao family—we ask

19
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:32,079
that you temporarily set aside
your grievances with the Power Gang.

20
00:02:32,079 --> 00:02:32,840
Chief Li,

21
00:02:33,710 --> 00:02:36,710
if you wish to earn the respect
of the entire martial world,

22
00:02:36,710 --> 00:02:39,910
then let all witnesses
hold you to your words today.

23
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:42,310
May your actions match your promises.

24
00:02:42,310 --> 00:02:42,960
Great!

25
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:44,840
It's a deal.

26
00:02:48,190 --> 00:02:49,650
Since Mr. Xiao has spoken,

27
00:02:49,870 --> 00:02:51,960
my Haisha Gang will honor this request.

28
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:52,910
Today, my Haisha Gang
relinquishes all claim to our reward

29
00:02:52,910 --> 00:02:54,280
and dedicate them

30
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:56,280
entirely to the frontier soldiers.

31
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:58,310
Our Baibu Sect waives our share as well.

32
00:02:58,310 --> 00:02:59,150
We too waive ours.

33
00:02:59,150 --> 00:03:00,150
-We too waive ours.
-Right!

34
00:03:00,150 --> 00:03:02,080
-Right!
-We will waive ours!

35
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:03,080
I... I won't take any.

36
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:03,870
-Allocate all to the border garrisons!
-All to the border!

37
00:03:03,870 --> 00:03:05,280
-Allocate all to the border garrisons!
-All to the border!

38
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:06,470
-All to the border!
-All to the border!

39
00:03:06,470 --> 00:03:08,520
-All to the border!
-We can't take it.

40
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:09,450
We'll donate it!

41
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:11,310
-All to the front line!
-All to the border!

42
00:03:11,310 --> 00:03:12,370
-Yes!
-All to them!

43
00:03:12,640 --> 00:03:14,970
-All to the front line!
-All to the border!

44
00:03:16,940 --> 00:03:17,530
Help out.

45
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:18,880
Take this.

46
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:21,050
And this one too.

47
00:03:22,190 --> 00:03:22,850
Be careful.

48
00:03:23,150 --> 00:03:24,560
Careful. Let's go.

49
00:03:25,470 --> 00:03:26,530
It's really heavy!

50
00:03:27,710 --> 00:03:28,870
Be careful not to spill it.

51
00:03:28,870 --> 00:03:29,360
Here!

52
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:33,400
-Be careful.
-Yes.

53
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:33,910
Right!

54
00:03:54,140 --> 00:03:56,740
What are you sneaking around here
looking for?

55
00:04:05,870 --> 00:04:06,600
Li Chenzhou.

56
00:04:07,030 --> 00:04:08,360
What do you mean by this?

57
00:04:11,210 --> 00:04:12,470
Check it for yourself.

58
00:04:13,570 --> 00:04:14,460
[Northern Wasteland Tattoo]

59
00:04:17,070 --> 00:04:18,269
Northern Wastelander!

60
00:04:18,269 --> 00:04:19,600
Northern Wastelander?

61
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:21,800
How is that possible?

62
00:04:23,310 --> 00:04:26,000
These Northern Wastelanders
were brought here by you.

63
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:27,820
Perhaps you should be asking yourself
that question.

64
00:04:27,820 --> 00:04:28,820
Hold your tongue!

65
00:04:33,159 --> 00:04:35,000
How could you possibly be
Northern Wastelanders?

66
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:36,510
Weren't you here
to help the Xiao family?

67
00:04:36,510 --> 00:04:38,390
You were the one who brought us here.

68
00:04:38,390 --> 00:04:39,440
You can't possibly be unaware of

69
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:40,900
who we really are, can you?

70
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:43,190
Yiren,

71
00:04:43,430 --> 00:04:45,090
what exactly is going on here?

72
00:04:45,159 --> 00:04:45,800
They are clearly

73
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:48,110
new disciples we recruited
for the Xiao family!

74
00:04:48,110 --> 00:04:48,700
Yiren,

75
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:50,930
someone is clearly setting you up.

76
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:06,190
Speak!

77
00:05:06,510 --> 00:05:09,080
Why did you impersonate
disciples of the Xiao family

78
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:12,590
and frame me as a Northern Wasteland spy?

79
00:05:13,210 --> 00:05:14,100
Why?

80
00:05:14,310 --> 00:05:15,720
A nobody like you

81
00:05:16,230 --> 00:05:18,560
isn't even worth the effort to frame.

82
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:22,720
Xiao Yiren,

83
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:24,760
I never imagined you would stoop so low

84
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:26,480
as to collude
with the Northern Wastelanders.

85
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:27,610
That's not how it is!

86
00:05:27,910 --> 00:05:28,540
No, they—

87
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:31,590
they were supposed to help me

88
00:05:31,620 --> 00:05:33,060
restore the Xiao family!

89
00:05:33,490 --> 00:05:34,680
Why has it come to this?

90
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:35,850
Why?

91
00:05:44,430 --> 00:05:45,780
Who are you really?

92
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:49,040
Why are you doing this to me?

93
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:51,270
Why!

94
00:05:58,310 --> 00:05:59,040
Big Brother.

95
00:05:59,190 --> 00:06:00,310
How do things stand?

96
00:06:00,310 --> 00:06:01,510
We've searched everywhere,

97
00:06:01,510 --> 00:06:03,370
but we still haven't found Yiren.

98
00:06:10,870 --> 00:06:12,820
Yiren would never collude
with the Northern Wastelanders.

99
00:06:12,820 --> 00:06:14,550
He must have fallen into a trap.

100
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:16,320
Once the truth is uncovered,

101
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:19,800
the Xiao family will give a full account
to everyone.

102
00:06:20,430 --> 00:06:23,160
-We can trust the Xiao family.
-We can trust them.

103
00:06:23,190 --> 00:06:24,370
The front line is under intense pressure.

104
00:06:24,370 --> 00:06:25,880
There's no more time to delay.

105
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:28,080
If anyone is unwilling to assist

106
00:06:28,630 --> 00:06:31,290
in escorting the treasures,
they may leave now.

107
00:06:32,950 --> 00:06:33,680
Mr. Xiao,

108
00:06:34,190 --> 00:06:35,000
we trust you.

109
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:37,840
We await your investigation
into this matter.

110
00:06:37,840 --> 00:06:39,900
Don't you look down on us, Power Gang!

111
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:41,830
If Power Gang honors its pledge

112
00:06:42,070 --> 00:06:43,830
to deliver the treasures
to the front line,

113
00:06:43,830 --> 00:06:46,310
my Haisha Gang

114
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:47,730
will mobilize all its resources
to contribute again in the future!

115
00:06:47,730 --> 00:06:49,540
Indeed, when Daxi's survival
is at stake,

116
00:06:49,540 --> 00:06:50,800
it is our duty to lend a hand!

117
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:52,430
Let's just focus on
escorting the treasures first!

118
00:06:52,430 --> 00:06:53,800
-Right.
-Well said.

119
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:55,800
-Yes.
-Let's escort the treasures!

120
00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:57,270
Mr. Xiao,

121
00:06:57,860 --> 00:07:00,120
our Chief has asked me to relay a message:

122
00:07:00,270 --> 00:07:01,510
we must trouble you

123
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:05,520
to oversee the subsequent matters
regarding the treasures.

124
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:07,460
As for your parents' remains,

125
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:08,740
the Power Gang will
arrange for their return

126
00:07:08,740 --> 00:07:11,200
to the Xiao family once affairs
are settled.

127
00:07:14,420 --> 00:07:15,280
Let's move out!

128
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:19,270
The Power Gang is just leaving like that?

129
00:07:19,270 --> 00:07:19,750
Right.

130
00:07:19,850 --> 00:07:21,650
Li Chenzhou is a man of profound cunning.

131
00:07:21,650 --> 00:07:23,700
He used this scheme
to eliminate his rivals

132
00:07:23,700 --> 00:07:25,700
while publicly presenting the treasures
to the border garrisons,

133
00:07:25,700 --> 00:07:28,100
winning the people's favor in the process.

134
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:31,190
Mr. Xiao!

135
00:07:35,310 --> 00:07:36,570
Mr. Xiao, please stay!

136
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:39,010
We must thank you once more.

137
00:07:39,159 --> 00:07:40,480
Had you not aided us

138
00:07:40,890 --> 00:07:42,430
in navigating the poisonous miasma
of Nantian Abyss,

139
00:07:42,430 --> 00:07:44,040
we would have surely perished.

140
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:44,870
This life-saving grace

141
00:07:44,870 --> 00:07:46,270
is akin to a second birth.

142
00:07:46,750 --> 00:07:48,720
We beg you to accept our humble bow!

143
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:51,830
Chief Sha,

144
00:07:52,430 --> 00:07:53,480
it was but a trivial effort—

145
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:54,610
think nothing of it!

146
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:55,360
Mr. Xiao,

147
00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:59,040
our Haisha Gang has long been overlooked
in the martial world.

148
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:01,360
Having witnessed your capabilities today,

149
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:02,710
if you would accept our allegiance,

150
00:08:02,710 --> 00:08:03,960
we vow to follow you

151
00:08:04,430 --> 00:08:05,360
through fire and water

152
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:07,160
whenever you may have need of us!

153
00:08:10,270 --> 00:08:11,130
Thank you, all.

Sect Leader Xiao,

157
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:24,860
I sent my people to assist you.

158
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:27,360
Why then do you draw your blade
against them?

159
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:29,440
You deceived me
into leading the Northern Wastelanders

160
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:31,570
to Nantian Abyss
to seize the treasures.

161
00:09:31,570 --> 00:09:32,940
Just who are you?

162
00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:34,720
Xiao Yiren,

163
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:37,100
who I am is of little consequence.

164
00:09:37,670 --> 00:09:38,550
What matters is

165
00:09:39,270 --> 00:09:42,510
that aligning with me
is now your only path forward.

166
00:09:42,670 --> 00:09:45,670
What exactly are you scheming
by using the Xiao family

167
00:09:45,810 --> 00:09:48,000
to lure the Northern Wastelanders
into Nantian Abyss?

168
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:49,780
Sect Leader Xiao, you may not be aware,

169
00:09:49,780 --> 00:09:51,690
but when the Northern Wastelanders
breached the capital,

170
00:09:51,690 --> 00:09:53,170
Daxi's Royal Seal

171
00:09:53,190 --> 00:09:55,900
vanished along with the treasures.

172
00:09:56,510 --> 00:09:58,250
If we can recover the Royal Seal now

173
00:09:58,250 --> 00:09:59,790
and return it to its rightful place,

174
00:09:59,790 --> 00:10:02,910
you would be performing
a great service for Daxi!

175
00:10:02,930 --> 00:10:03,570
What?

176
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:07,990
Are you saying the Northern Wastelanders
stole the Royal Seal

177
00:10:07,990 --> 00:10:09,590
to present it to the Emperor?

178
00:10:11,540 --> 00:10:13,070
How could that be possible!

179
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:16,150
Having long lived in the martial world,

180
00:10:16,150 --> 00:10:18,670
you might struggle
to grasp the intricacies of court affairs.

181
00:10:18,670 --> 00:10:19,730
But consider this:

182
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:21,720
if the Northern Wastelanders

183
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:23,360
were to return the Royal Seal
to His Majesty,

184
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:25,300
transforming conflict into harmony,

185
00:10:25,300 --> 00:10:28,030
wouldn't that spare the people
from the ravages of war?

186
00:10:28,030 --> 00:10:30,150
Isn't it a truly auspicious outcome?

187
00:10:30,670 --> 00:10:32,320
And what of the lands
north of the river?

188
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:34,440
Would they not be forever lost,

189
00:10:35,670 --> 00:10:36,960
dashing any hope of reunifying Daxi?

190
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:39,600
Recovering lost territory
is merely a fantasy

191
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:41,200
held by you martial artists.

192
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:42,000
In truth, His Majesty

193
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:44,540
has no desire for war
with the Northern Wastelanders—

194
00:10:44,540 --> 00:10:46,390
he merely lacks an opportunity

195
00:10:46,410 --> 00:10:47,770
for reconciliation.

196
00:10:48,510 --> 00:10:49,510
Sect Leader Xiao,

197
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:53,080
this presents you with a perfect chance

198
00:10:53,150 --> 00:10:55,030
to foster peace between both sides

199
00:10:55,030 --> 00:10:57,200
and fulfill the Emperor's wishes.

200
00:10:58,000 --> 00:10:59,200
If that were the case,

201
00:11:00,340 --> 00:11:01,740
wouldn't our Xiao family

202
00:11:02,860 --> 00:11:04,720
be condemned throughout history

203
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:07,360
as traitors who sold out the nation?

204
00:11:07,680 --> 00:11:08,890
The affairs of the empire

205
00:11:08,890 --> 00:11:11,320
are far beyond your concerns, Xiao Yiren.

206
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:13,270
Should His Majesty be pleased,

207
00:11:13,270 --> 00:11:15,400
he will richly reward the Xiao family.

208
00:11:15,630 --> 00:11:16,390
By then,

209
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:19,750
even granting the Huanhua Sect
an imperial plaque would be effortless.

210
00:11:19,750 --> 00:11:21,480
With that, not only
the martial world of Jindu

211
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:22,960
but even the martial world
of the Central Plains

212
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:25,090
would have to defer to the Xiao family.

213
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:27,720
Who are you really!

214
00:11:29,300 --> 00:11:31,090
Just who are you?

215
00:11:40,140 --> 00:11:41,850
Excellent, you're all back!

216
00:11:42,310 --> 00:11:42,860
Qiushui!

217
00:11:44,150 --> 00:11:46,200
Big Brother! You've finally returned!

218
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:46,930
You're back!

219
00:11:48,150 --> 00:11:49,360
We've been waiting for you for so long.

220
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:50,890
Look, everything is built!

221
00:11:56,630 --> 00:11:58,360
It's exactly the same as it was.

222
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:01,000
Are you satisfied, Mr. Xiao?

223
00:12:02,870 --> 00:12:06,270
I, Xiao Qiushui, extend my
deepest gratitude for your assistance!

224
00:12:06,270 --> 00:12:07,630
Mr. Xiao,
there's no need for such courtesy.

225
00:12:07,630 --> 00:12:09,490
From now on, we are all one family.

226
00:12:09,550 --> 00:12:11,200
The martial sects of Guangling
are at the disposal

227
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:13,440
of the Shenzhou Sworn Brotherhood.

228
00:12:14,610 --> 00:12:15,960
Mr. Xiao, since you are satisfied,

229
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:17,360
we can rest assured then.

230
00:12:17,630 --> 00:12:18,680
We'll take our leave now!

231
00:12:18,680 --> 00:12:20,840
-I will take my leave.
-After you.

232
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:26,050
Big Brother,

233
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:27,580
come quickly to the training ground

234
00:12:27,580 --> 00:12:29,750
and see what I've built with my own hands!

235
00:12:29,750 --> 00:12:30,210
Hold on,

236
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:32,510
what do you mean
you built it with your own hands?

237
00:12:32,510 --> 00:12:34,510
This was a joint effort by everyone.

238
00:12:34,510 --> 00:12:36,440
Yes, true, everyone contributed.

239
00:12:36,470 --> 00:12:37,610
-They also contributed.
-Okay.

240
00:12:37,610 --> 00:12:38,380
Then today,

241
00:12:38,710 --> 00:12:41,800
let's drink to our hearts' content!

242
00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:44,650
Where can we find good wine?

243
00:12:44,710 --> 00:12:46,640
Wouldn't dream of leaving you out!

244
00:12:47,750 --> 00:12:48,550
But...

245
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:51,000
Hero Zuoqiu.

246
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:53,000
Why are you looking at me?

247
00:12:53,870 --> 00:12:56,670
I have matters to attend to.
I'll take my leave now.

248
00:13:01,140 --> 00:13:01,770
It's okay.

249
00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:04,630
Qiushui...

250
00:13:05,910 --> 00:13:06,550
Qiushui!

251
00:13:07,990 --> 00:13:08,750
Qiushui...

252
00:13:10,270 --> 00:13:11,080
Qiu...

253
00:13:11,950 --> 00:13:12,550
Kaiyan!

254
00:13:13,060 --> 00:13:13,540
Kaiyan!

255
00:13:19,470 --> 00:13:20,040
Kaiyan!

256
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:22,030
Qiushui!

257
00:13:24,170 --> 00:13:25,010
How are you feeling now?

258
00:13:25,010 --> 00:13:26,340
How did you get injured?

259
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:29,540
I went with Yiren
to pursue the Northern Wastelanders,

260
00:13:30,030 --> 00:13:31,790
but in the blink of an eye,

261
00:13:32,510 --> 00:13:33,960
Yiren vanished.

262
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:36,790
The paths in Nantian Abyss
are treacherous,

263
00:13:36,790 --> 00:13:37,960
and I had no choice

264
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:40,240
but to retreat on my own.

265
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:42,740
Third Young Master! Third Young Master!

266
00:13:43,810 --> 00:13:44,510
Zhao Shirong has arrived

267
00:13:44,510 --> 00:13:46,370
with the remains of your parents.

268
00:14:18,790 --> 00:14:19,670
Mother!

269
00:14:27,550 --> 00:14:28,510
Father!

270
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:31,200
Mother!

271
00:14:37,550 --> 00:14:38,390
Father!

272
00:14:40,540 --> 00:14:41,630
Mother.

273
00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:51,230
Z—Zhao Shirong!

274
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:57,550
Your Power Gang

275
00:14:58,790 --> 00:15:02,390
has brought ruin to my Xiao family,
leaving us broken and bereft.

276
00:15:02,410 --> 00:15:06,560
and now you dare come here
with my parents' remains?

277
00:15:07,310 --> 00:15:08,310
I, Xiao Kaiyan,

278
00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:12,120
swear to have my revenge
for this blood debt!

279
00:15:15,510 --> 00:15:16,870
Kaiyan! Kaiyan!

280
00:15:20,940 --> 00:15:22,220
Everyone, hold!

281
00:15:23,890 --> 00:15:25,350
She was sent by Li Chenzhou

282
00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:29,120
to return our parents' remains.

283
00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:37,630
Kaiyan,

284
00:15:38,990 --> 00:15:40,250
back in Nantian Abyss,

285
00:15:40,890 --> 00:15:42,020
Li Chenzhou claimed

286
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:44,890
that the Power Gang was not
responsible for

287
00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:49,400
the deaths of our parents
and the Xiao family members.

288
00:15:51,150 --> 00:15:51,840
He said

289
00:15:53,390 --> 00:15:55,320
the true culprit was someone else.

290
00:15:57,790 --> 00:15:59,000
Qiushui,

291
00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:02,120
the Power Gang is the culprit.

292
00:16:03,030 --> 00:16:05,630
How could you let yourself
be deceived by them?

293
00:16:06,510 --> 00:16:07,480
He showed me

294
00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:10,360
evidence I couldn't refute.

295
00:16:11,150 --> 00:16:12,480
Li Chenzhou promised me

296
00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:15,250
that within 3 days, he would

297
00:16:16,110 --> 00:16:18,240
bring our parents' remains back to us.

298
00:16:19,030 --> 00:16:20,240
He also swore

299
00:16:21,550 --> 00:16:22,510
he would expose

300
00:16:23,630 --> 00:16:27,000
the true mastermind behind everything.

301
00:16:34,310 --> 00:16:35,970
Since everyone is here today,

302
00:16:40,390 --> 00:16:41,150
tell us—

303
00:16:42,450 --> 00:16:45,490
what else did Li Chenzhou say?

304
00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:49,770
Your parents were killed
by the Marrow-Disrupting Finger.

305
00:16:52,510 --> 00:16:54,110
Marrow-Disrupting Finger?

306
00:16:55,220 --> 00:16:56,950
What kind of nonsense is that?

307
00:16:57,750 --> 00:16:59,000
The Marrow-Disrupting Finger
technique was left behind

308
00:16:59,000 --> 00:16:59,870
decades ago

309
00:16:59,870 --> 00:17:01,550
by the Old Master of Tuoshan.

310
00:17:02,210 --> 00:17:02,970
Qiushui,

311
00:17:03,810 --> 00:17:06,099
Qiushui, don't listen to her excuses.

312
00:17:06,619 --> 00:17:09,099
She's only trying
to absolve the Power Gang—

313
00:17:10,550 --> 00:17:11,980
you mustn't believe her!

314
00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:14,420
The iron sand is the proof.

315
00:17:17,829 --> 00:17:19,290
Using the Two Form Needle,

316
00:17:19,349 --> 00:17:21,680
I've forced the iron sands,
left by the Marrow-Disrupting Finger,

317
00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:23,140
to gather at their wrists.

318
00:17:23,550 --> 00:17:24,950
You may see for yourself.

319
00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:52,750
Are you saying
this Marrow-Disrupting Finger technique

320
00:17:52,750 --> 00:17:55,590
was passed down decades ago
by the Old Master of Tuoshan?

321
00:17:55,590 --> 00:17:56,400
So who did he

322
00:17:56,830 --> 00:17:58,630
pass the technique to back then?

323
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:01,660
From what I've uncovered,

324
00:18:01,660 --> 00:18:03,390
he only had 3 direct disciples,

325
00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:05,240
each from 3 prominent

326
00:18:05,500 --> 00:18:07,100
southern martial families.

327
00:18:08,030 --> 00:18:11,110
The first was from the Fei family,
one of the Three Great Mystical Sects.

328
00:18:11,110 --> 00:18:14,000
The second was from the Deng family

329
00:18:14,310 --> 00:18:16,370
of the Qianxi Division, Hailin Sect.

330
00:18:17,650 --> 00:18:18,510
My family?

331
00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:20,240
Zhao Shirong,

332
00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:22,880
do you have proof
for what you're claiming?

333
00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:24,560
Yuhan.

334
00:18:31,340 --> 00:18:32,540
And who was the third?

335
00:18:35,110 --> 00:18:36,910
The third was from the Tang Sect.

336
00:18:39,510 --> 00:18:40,160
Indeed,

337
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:42,890
this technique is extremely rigid

338
00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:44,760
and can only be practiced by men.

339
00:18:48,250 --> 00:18:49,240
Within the Tang Sect,

340
00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:51,690
the one who cultivated it is Tang Yaoshun.

341
00:19:02,670 --> 00:19:03,930
Don't misunderstand!

342
00:19:04,510 --> 00:19:06,640
My father has been bedridden for years

343
00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:09,250
and hasn't left the Tang Sect
in nearly a year.

344
00:19:09,470 --> 00:19:10,950
The Marrow-Disrupting Finger technique

345
00:19:10,950 --> 00:19:14,880
requires mobilizing
all of one's internal energy,

346
00:19:15,830 --> 00:19:17,460
so it's impossible for it
to have been my father.

347
00:19:17,460 --> 00:19:18,310
Indeed,

348
00:19:18,900 --> 00:19:21,160
Tang Yaoshun's internal energy
is now greatly diminished—

349
00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:23,670
it's impossible for him to have executed
the Marrow-Disrupting Finger.

350
00:19:23,670 --> 00:19:26,150
Therefore, the murderer of your parents

351
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:29,210
must be from
one of the other two families.

352
00:19:32,310 --> 00:19:33,910
he practitioner from the Fei family

353
00:19:33,910 --> 00:19:36,500
is its sect leader, Fei Yuqiao.

354
00:19:37,350 --> 00:19:39,750
From the Deng family, it is Deng Qingfeng.

355
00:19:41,410 --> 00:19:42,140
Big Brother,

356
00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:44,520
I have never seen my father
use this technique,

357
00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:47,350
nor have I ever heard of him
studying under the Old Master of Tuoshan!

358
00:19:47,350 --> 00:19:48,110
Yuhan,

359
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:52,070
I don't believe your father
would harm the Xiao family.

360
00:19:52,070 --> 00:19:53,000
In that case,

361
00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:56,200
I shall seek out Fei Yuqiao
of the Fei family first.

362
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:58,680
Testing his skills will reveal the truth.

363
00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:00,200
Hold on.

364
00:20:02,210 --> 00:20:03,130
Before you depart,

365
00:20:03,130 --> 00:20:05,730
Mr. Xiao, there is a place
you must visit first.

366
00:20:05,820 --> 00:20:08,160
Chenzhou said he has urgent matters

00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:09,290
I must ask you to come

368
00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:11,680
to the Power Gang's main headquarters.

369
00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:20,880
This will grant you unrestricted access
to the Power Gang's headquarters.

374
00:20:49,510 --> 00:20:50,840
to prepare the coffins?

375
00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:53,940

Please accept my sincerest condolences.

00:21:25,750 --> 00:21:28,160
You agreed to go to the
Power Gang's headquarters just like that?

379
00:21:29,070 --> 00:21:30,270
Aren't you afraid they might harm you?

380
00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:33,620
Perhaps it's for the best—

381
00:21:34,410 --> 00:21:35,810
this might allow us
to uncover other clues.

382
00:21:37,070 --> 00:21:37,840

shares my experience?

00:31:00,670 --> 00:31:01,730
Listen carefully:

551
00:31:02,030 --> 00:31:04,030
I won't ghostwrite for you anymore.

552
00:31:04,970 --> 00:31:06,500
I demand credit for my work.

553
00:31:08,270 --> 00:31:08,920
Mingming,

554
00:31:09,510 --> 00:31:10,750
you don't seem to understand.

555
00:31:10,750 --> 00:31:12,370
The copyright holds real value

556
00:31:12,370 --> 00:31:13,520
only in my name.

557
00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:15,400
Who'd even notice otherwise?

558
00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:16,160
Besides,

559
00:31:16,310 --> 00:31:17,750
look at all you've written before.

560
00:31:17,750 --> 00:31:18,950
Did any of it take off?

561
00:31:19,310 --> 00:31:21,310
Young people need to stay grounded.

562
00:31:22,070 --> 00:31:23,800
I will give you opportunities.

563
00:31:27,070 --> 00:31:27,790
Senior,

564
00:31:30,090 --> 00:31:30,850
you used to be

565
00:31:32,880 --> 00:31:36,410
a role model for all of us
in the Chinese Literature Department.

566
00:31:36,780 --> 00:31:38,710
I hope you can be honest with me now.

567
00:31:44,100 --> 00:31:45,380
It's complicated,

568
00:31:46,350 --> 00:31:48,010
and you wouldn't understand.

569
00:31:52,990 --> 00:31:54,590
Besides, I have a meeting
to attend shortly.

570
00:31:54,590 --> 00:31:55,590
We'll talk later.

571
00:32:01,530 --> 00:32:02,440
Just accept it.

572
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:04,110
Isn't this ideal?

573
00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:05,590
Being a ghostwriter means

574
00:32:05,590 --> 00:32:06,480
steady pay.

575
00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:10,170
Plus, you don't need to
worry about what to write.

576
00:32:13,510 --> 00:32:16,200
He denies plagiarizing
and keeps feeding me lies.

577
00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:18,730
I won't let him
steal my labor of love anymore.

578
00:32:18,830 --> 00:32:21,290
Come on, buddy!
This is the corporate world,

579
00:32:21,310 --> 00:32:23,040
not the martial world. Come on.

580
00:32:24,550 --> 00:32:25,720
Remember that beta software

581
00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:28,050
"Magic Code Novel" I mentioned last time?

582
00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:29,000
Give it a shot!

583
00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:31,970
They say the Magic Code Novel's

584
00:32:32,150 --> 00:32:34,790
AI interactive writing feature
already includes

585
00:32:34,790 --> 00:32:37,590
"The Divine Land Hero"
by Master Wen Ruian—

586
00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:41,480
the exact story you're adapting!

587
00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:43,200
See? It's practically made

588
00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:45,330
to fulfill your martial arts fantasy.

589
00:32:45,940 --> 00:32:47,210
Magic Code System...

[The Divine Land Hero]

593
00:33:40,780 --> 00:33:41,590
Wait, no!

594
00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:44,370
My draft!

595
00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:52,060
-Third Young Master!
-Third Young Master, wake up!

596
00:33:52,060 --> 00:33:53,460
Wake up, Third Young Master!

597
00:33:53,460 --> 00:33:54,550
Third Young Master.

598
00:33:54,550 --> 00:33:56,150
Third Young Master, wake up.

599
00:33:57,160 --> 00:34:00,680
-The Third Young Master is awake!
-The Third Young Master is awake!

600
00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:01,680
I remember now...

601
00:34:02,340 --> 00:34:03,940
Right before I arrived here,

602
00:34:04,230 --> 00:34:07,230
I wasn't just compiling
the Magic Codex Novel at home—

603
00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:09,739
I've lost a critical fragment of memory.

604
00:34:25,710 --> 00:34:27,150
This is too difficult!

605
00:34:29,679 --> 00:34:30,940
Why are you still here?

606
00:34:34,610 --> 00:34:35,699
Stop waiting.

607
00:34:35,730 --> 00:34:37,190
Your senior isn't coming.

608
00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:39,340
Ever since you brought up
the outline issue,

609
00:34:39,340 --> 00:34:40,300
he's vanished.

610
00:34:40,460 --> 00:34:42,710
He's clearly avoiding you.

611
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:47,659
Come on, let's grab some food.

612
00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:48,699
I'll skip that.

613
00:34:49,230 --> 00:34:50,230
You go home first.

614
00:34:50,710 --> 00:34:52,239
I'll wait a bit longer here.

615
00:34:57,110 --> 00:34:58,070
Very well.

616
00:34:58,320 --> 00:34:59,380
I, unworthy Li Cai,

617
00:35:00,030 --> 00:35:01,290
will take my leave now.

618
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:03,660
Do remember to eat something.

619
00:35:24,860 --> 00:35:25,800
[System Bug]

620
00:35:30,860 --> 00:35:31,990
Ugh, just my luck...

621
00:35:35,590 --> 00:35:36,890
What in the world is this?

622
00:35:36,890 --> 00:35:37,230
[Li Nan]

623
00:36:10,820 --> 00:36:11,380
Hey,

624
00:36:12,670 --> 00:36:14,070
the materials are ready.

625
00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:16,320
I'll send them via the usual method.

626
00:36:16,850 --> 00:36:18,460
and regular gears

627
00:36:18,730 --> 00:36:20,190
won't make it past checks.

628
00:36:20,740 --> 00:36:23,400
Lucky you prepped
the special equipment for me.

629
00:36:24,350 --> 00:36:25,880
Don't worry, it's handled.

630
00:37:00,590 --> 00:37:02,240
[Transferring 60 items
from R to overseas user NMGS.]

631
00:37:11,360 --> 00:37:12,000
Senior,

632
00:37:14,640 --> 00:37:15,700
what are you doing?

633
00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:20,600
Still on the clock, I see?

634
00:37:27,570 --> 00:37:28,830
Did you get these stuff

635
00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:33,320
secretly at the military forum event?

636
00:37:40,670 --> 00:37:42,200
What are you talking about?

637
00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:43,940
I don't understand a word.

638
00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:49,000
Oh, you don't understand...

639
00:37:50,610 --> 00:37:52,070
I'll call the police then.

640
00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:55,060
Let the police do the investigation.

641
00:37:56,030 --> 00:37:56,960
Enough games.

642
00:37:57,960 --> 00:38:00,000
Just name your price.

643
00:38:00,830 --> 00:38:01,490
Is it money,

644
00:38:02,480 --> 00:38:03,340
a new book deal,

645
00:38:04,230 --> 00:38:05,490
or authorship credit?

646
00:38:06,510 --> 00:38:07,800
It's all negotiable.

647
00:38:11,230 --> 00:38:13,090
My personal grievances can wait.

648
00:38:14,710 --> 00:38:17,370
But selling state secrets
to foreign entities?

649
00:38:19,240 --> 00:38:21,370
That's an entirely different matter.

650
00:38:44,880 --> 00:38:45,440
Let go.

651
00:38:46,460 --> 00:38:47,190
Give it to me.

652
00:38:49,280 --> 00:38:50,280
Release it now!

653
00:39:07,690 --> 00:39:08,440
Reset.

654
00:39:09,210 --> 00:39:10,000
It's him!

655
00:39:12,770 --> 00:39:13,770
If Li Nan has been

656
00:39:13,800 --> 00:39:15,480
in this storyworld

657
00:39:16,060 --> 00:39:17,520
since the day I arrived...

658
00:39:18,950 --> 00:39:21,010
I was willing to die to alter the plot,

659
00:39:21,370 --> 00:39:23,900
to make Yiren rush home
with reinforcements.

660
00:39:24,210 --> 00:39:26,340
Yet Yiren still fell into an ambush...

661
00:39:27,230 --> 00:39:28,840
I diverted fate itself,

662
00:39:29,180 --> 00:39:30,980
but couldn't stop the massacre.

663
00:39:33,010 --> 00:39:33,880
Could it be that Li Nan

664
00:39:33,880 --> 00:39:35,540
twisted the narrative again?

665
00:39:36,360 --> 00:39:37,090
Moreover...

666
00:39:37,330 --> 00:39:40,960
Your parents weren't killed
by the Power Gang.

667
00:39:41,320 --> 00:39:43,190
When I gave my order
regarding the Xiao family,

668
00:39:43,190 --> 00:39:44,780
I ordered to only surround
the Xiao Residence, not to kill.

669
00:39:44,780 --> 00:39:47,600
But by the time the second group
of Power Gang forces arrived,

670
00:39:47,600 --> 00:39:51,120
the Xiao family's Sword Manor
had already been breached.

671
00:39:51,650 --> 00:39:54,030
The one
who slaughtered your Xiao family...

672
00:39:54,030 --> 00:39:56,690
must have come from
within your own Sword Manor.

673
00:39:57,030 --> 00:39:59,070
If the Sword Manor
had already been breached

674
00:39:59,070 --> 00:40:01,700
from within
before the Power Gang even arrived...

675
00:40:01,700 --> 00:40:04,090
then the ones who killed Mother and Father
must be different perpetrators.

676
00:40:04,090 --> 00:40:07,260
Could Li Nan have an accomplice
hidden within the Xiao family?

677
00:40:07,260 --> 00:40:09,130
What identity is he using now

678
00:40:09,510 --> 00:40:11,320
to infiltrate so deeply?

679
00:40:13,370 --> 00:40:14,690
Who... is he exactly?

680
00:40:28,020 --> 00:40:28,750
Big Brother.

681
00:40:31,320 --> 00:40:32,050
Big Brother!

682
00:40:41,880 --> 00:40:42,550
Yuhan,

683
00:40:43,720 --> 00:40:45,720
something's weighing on your mind.

684
00:40:46,230 --> 00:40:49,030
That day when
the Xiao's Sword Manor was besieged,

685
00:40:49,110 --> 00:40:50,670
I vowed to you that

686
00:40:51,110 --> 00:40:53,840
I would seek my father's
help to aid Huanhua Sect.

687
00:40:53,880 --> 00:40:55,080
But I never imagined,

688
00:40:55,800 --> 00:40:57,330
he'd hesitate and stand by,

689
00:40:57,820 --> 00:40:58,860
doing nothing.

690
00:41:01,340 --> 00:41:03,000
I've always felt I failed you.

691
00:41:07,100 --> 00:41:07,790
Yuhan,

692
00:41:08,660 --> 00:41:10,390
no matter what your father did,

693
00:41:11,440 --> 00:41:13,500
you'll always be my brother for life.

694
00:41:13,600 --> 00:41:15,720
Besides,
the Marrow-Disrupting Finger theory

695
00:41:15,720 --> 00:41:17,250
is still just speculation.

696
00:41:19,180 --> 00:41:20,310
Don't overthink it.

697
00:41:21,030 --> 00:41:23,160
Back when we 4 brothers swore our oath,

698
00:41:23,340 --> 00:41:24,070
I said to you:

699
00:41:25,780 --> 00:41:27,110
no matter what happens,

700
00:41:27,660 --> 00:41:29,120
no matter when it happens,

701
00:41:29,790 --> 00:41:33,600
you'll always be my Big Brother;
I'll follow you through thick and thin.

702
00:41:33,600 --> 00:41:35,730
I'll go with you back to the Hailin Sect

703
00:41:36,260 --> 00:41:38,720
to confront my father
and uncover the truth.

704
00:41:42,870 --> 00:41:43,580
Alright,

705
00:41:44,770 --> 00:41:47,430
it's better than letting
the doubt torment you.

706
00:41:48,400 --> 00:41:49,600
Wait for me to return.
