Episode 17

Wait!

I hope you've been well Uncle Dongfang.

Greetings to the Sacred Lady.

Get on up.

Uncle Dongfang.

I have something to say. But I don't know if it's appropriate or not.

These men have all contributed much to the cult.

What wrongs did they commit to have been arrested by Foreman Yang?

Cult Master.

These men gather together to betray the cult.

Their leader is Left Guard Xiang Wentian.

Uncle Dongfang.

Left Guard Xiang helped build up the cult.

Why would he betray the cult?

That's right!

Cult Master.

Left Guard Xiang would never betray the cult.

I have concrete evidence determining his guilt.

It has been fabricated!

Cult Master we've been framed!

Yang Lianting!

What right do you have to speak in front of us?

We have always risked our lives for the cult.

What have you done for the cult?

Cult Master.

Towards the cult, towards the cult Master we've always been loyal.

We've never had any thoughts of mutiny.

But Yang Lianting, to get rid of dissidents killed many loyal brothers of the cult.

You speak nonsense!

Yang Lianting is the real traitor!

The cult Master has decreed.

All loyalists of Xiang Wentian shall be killed on the spot.

- Here, Chong. - Headmistress.

Hold on a minute!

What's the matter with this soup?

Even if there's no poison it'll burn you to death.

I'll try tasting it first.

There's no problem, right?

How is it?

Let's give it a moment.

Are you okay after drinking it?

If you drink it you'll be okay.

My six peach brothers.

Headmistress raised me since I was a child.

Why would she do me harm?

Perhaps... you guys should go outside first.

That's...

If you guys don't go outside

I'll...

I'll bite my tongue and kill myself.

Don't, don't, don't!

We'll go outside.

Here, Chong.

Drink some soup.

Headmistress.

I don't want any.

You've lost so much blood.

You must eat or drink something.

Oh that's right.

Any news of Little Sister or Little Brother Lin?

Here, Linghu Chong.

Headmistress.

I really do not know where any of those people are.

I tried asking them but they refused to tell me.

I want to get to Wuba Hills as soon as possible.

To prove my innocence to Master.

Sacred Lady.

I hear you are leaving again right away?

Why? Can I not leave?

Of course not.

On Blackwood Cliff.

Besides the Cult Master who dares to stop the Sacred Lady.

But there are a few words the Cult Master wanted me to pass to you.

Why doesn't Uncle Dongfang tell me himself?

The Cult Master has more important matters to attend to.

What words? Tell me then.

You seem in such a hurry to leave.

Are you going to Wuba Hills?

Or to look for Xiang Wentian?

What are you trying to say?

I hear that at Wuba Hills there'll be a gathering soon.

The ones attending are all rejects.

But these rejects seem to be quite loyal to you, are they not?

They are all faithful followers of the cult.

I fear what they are faithful towards is your Brain Pill of the Three Corpses.

It's really not a big deal.

You are the Sacred Lady of the cult.

To obey the Sacred Lady is to obey the cult.

But if you are going to look for Xiang Wentian

this matter will get very messy.

Xiang Wentian is already a traitor of the cult.

If you are to be seen with him

wouldn't it raise the question of where your loyalties lie?

Foreman Yang seems to know everything.

Such as your father.

Whether he still lives or not that I do not know.

What I do know is the Master of the cult is Dongfang Bubai.

Anyone who acts against the Cult Master must be prepared to die.

I'm sure Sacred Lady is clear on that point.

You seem bored of Blackwood Cliff perhaps some time away will be good for you.

Men!

Send off the Sacred Lady.

Please take care.

Come.

At your service.

Keep an eye on her.

At this time of day tomorrow we'll arrive at Wuba Hills.

If anything happens to Lingshan I will not let them go so easily.

I've asked Linghu Chong about them.

It seems he really doesn't know who they are.

Or what they want.

Little Sister.

I don't know why.

But I dare not trust him anymore.

He said.

When we get to Wuba Hills he will get to the bottom of it all

and prove his innocence.

When we get to Wuba Hills

whether he is innocent or not will not be up to him to decide.

My dear.

Linghu Chong is still wounded.

Let's have him wait for us by the shore.

I only worry that without him

we can't even ask for our daughter back.

- Look, some people are coming. - There's even a sedan chair.

Who goes there?

Are you friends from the Mount Hua Sect?

That's right.

Who are you guys?

What do you want?

Young hero Linghu.

By your orders we've brought Lady Yue here.

Please forgive us if we've offended you.

Lingshan!

Father! Mother!

- Mother! - Lingshan.

Guess who's on this side!

Must be Lin Pingzhi who failed to elope!

What are you doing?

Let go of me!

Let go of me!

Let's go!

Lingshan, don't cry. What in the world happened?

Mother.

Lingshan.

Tell me what is going on.

Lingshan.

Stop crying.

Tell me who kidnapped you two.

A tall man and a fat monk.

They scolded me.

And they also eat human flesh.

Master!

They really did eat human flesh!

Twin Warriors of the North Desert.

Get away!

It must be the Twin Warriors of the North Desert.

You must've eaten human flesh then, right?

No, I didn't!

Little girl, human flesh must've been tasty!

You must've eaten it!

You just dare not admit it!

That's right.

A real man takes responsibility.

Since you won't say it that means you secretly admit it!

Oh yes.

Lady Yue. This man ate human flesh but won't admit it.

He is very dishonest.

You should be careful.

Lady Yue.

If you really like this guy you must learn the skill to reassemble things.

If this guy is feeling gluttonous he'll eat you finger by finger into his belly!

If you have such a skill you'd have nothing to fear.

You could split his stomach

retrieve your fingers reassemble them

and become whole once again.

Okay, little girl?

Little Lin, did you really eat it?

I... I really didn't eat it!

You did!

He must've eaten it!

Little Lin.

If you really did eat it I'll ignore you for the rest of my life!

Elder Sister! I didn't eat it! I really didn't eat it!

Master.

Look.

My dear.

They're of the Five Poison Cult of Yunnan.

Have everyone keep their guard up.

Is young Master Linghu of Mount Hua around?

We would really like to meet him.

Chong.

Ignore her.

Young miss.

You are a subordinate of cult Master Lan of the Five Fairies Cult of Yunnan?

You are quite sharp.

But you are only half right.

I am of the Five Fairies Cult of Yunnan.

But I am not cult Master Lan's subordinate.

I am Yue Buqun.

May I know your name, miss?

And how can we help you?

I am just a simple girl of Miao ethnicity.

Judging from your appearance you seem rather like a teacher.

I am asking for your name.

Please tell me, young miss.

You're already so old and experienced.

Your beard is so long as well.

Why do you still ask if you already know?

Just ignore her.

Don't interrupt.

What do you mean, Mister Yue?

Oh, right.

Mrs. Yue doesn't want him to acknowledge that little girl.

Mister Yue must be attracted by the girl's charm and beauty.

So he doesn't want to listen to his wife.

Thank you very much.

You say I am beautiful and what not.

But we girls of Miao ethnicity cannot compare to the beauty of your Han women.

If you do not wish to tell us your name then fine.

Please give my regards to cult Master Lan.

Just tell her that I wish the old lady well.

You're calling me an old lady?

Do I really seem that old to you?

Young miss.

Then you are...

Cult Master Lan of Yunnan's Five Fairies Cult?

Of Yunnan's Five Fairies Cult.

But not cult Master Lan's subordinate.

That can only mean cult Master Lan, no?

My apologies for not recognizing you.

So is Linghu Chong your younger brother or your disciple?

Disciple.

Can I meet him?

My disciple Linghu is not well.

I'm afraid he cannot greet Cult Master Lan.

What greeting?

He's not of the Five Fairies Cult.

He's a good friend of an acquaintance.

I heard he gave his own blood and saved the life of a little girl.

Miao people have utmost respect for such a man.

Don't get up, please sit down.

You've lost a lot of blood.

Cult Master Lan, my apologies.

Cult Master Lan?

I am a good friend of your good friend.

So I am also your good friend.

Don't call me Cult Master or anything from now on.

Just call me little Sister.

Okay then.

I'll call you little Sister then.

Good! This is great!

Don't move.

My dear.

What are they doing?

This is?

Please don't worry.

This is the secret technique of our cult.

If you're scared just close your eyes.

It's the Great Blood Swap Technique!

The Five Fairies Cult is really amazing.

Big Brother.

Is the Five Fairies Cult stronger or our Six Fairies of Peach Valley stronger?

Stupid.

We are six fairies and they are five fairies.

Of course we're stronger!

If we kill two of you how many of your fairies are left?

Four!

Stop hitting me...

Four?

Elder Brother.

Elder Brother.

A lay disciple just sent word

that some people of the martial arts world will be gathering at Wuba Hills.

The people gathering there are all affiliated with the demonic cult.

A few days ago demonic cultists were spotted around Luoyang.

Will there be any problems?

Perhaps it's related to Mount Hua Sect.

Recently, there are rumors that

Mount Hua Sect has gained the Lin family's

Evil-warding Sword Manual.

Perhaps the demonic cult is tempted by it.

Mount Hua Sect already has unique swordplay.

The Noble Sword mastered the Violet Mist as well.

The demonic cult also has the Sunflower Manual.

Why all this for the Evil-warding Sword Manual?

Don't forget our old neighbor.

Zuo Lengchan.

We cannot allow the demonic cult to do as they please and cause trouble

under the watch of Shaolin Temple.

Take the Hui generation disciples to keep an eye on the situation.

Tell all our Shaolin students to exercise great caution before acting

so as not to give the cult any cause.

Understood.

Young Master Linghu.

How do you feel?

Thank you.

I feel much better.

If you will have me call you little Sister

then you should be calling me big Brother.

Big Brother.

You are so nice!

Big Brother you are so nice.

No wonder that person who cares so little for all men treats you so nice.

Big Brother.

Are you hungry?

Would you like some snacks?

Not really hungry.

But I am quite thirsty.

I'd really like some wine.

Wine?

We have some.

Our cult's Five-Treasured Flower Honey Brew is very delicious!

Give it to me!

Let me see.

What's in here?

What's in that wine of yours?

It's Five-Treasured wine.

Of course there's green snake, scorpion, centipede, spider and toad.

Big Brother, I'm scared!

Big Brother.

Do you dare to drink it?

Good! That's my big Brother!

Come, Headmaster Yue.

Allow me to pour you one as well.

It appears that aside from my big Brother there are no other real men in Mount Hua Sect.

Says who?

Bring it over, I'll drink some.

Little Lin.

If you drink such a thing even if you don't die from poison

I'll never forgive you.

Big Brother.

We'll meet again at Wuba Hills.

Sacred Lady.

I've come late.

Please forgive me.

The trouble you have caused.

Sacred Lady.

I don't know what I've done wrong.

Please tell me.

The word has even spread to Blackwood Cliff

that there will be a gathering at Wuba Hills.

Will you continue to play dumb?

I am muddle-headed.

Please give me punishment.

I am willing to self-cripple my martial arts as repentance to the Sacred Lady.

Leave.

Thank you for sparing my life.

I think I hear a voice on the other side.

- What? - Let's go check it out.

Wait for me.

Young Master Linghu.

Sorry we are late in coming. Please forgive us.

Mister Zu.

We're all here at Wuba Hills now.

Can you please tell us what this is all for?

Young Master Linghu.

There's no need to rush.

It's very lively on the hill right now.

Heroes from all over the martial world are all waiting to meet you.

I don't want to meet any heroes or warriors.

I only want to know what all this was for.

Young Master Linghu.

After we arrive on the hill we'll slowly explain all of it to you.

Let's go!

It seems on Wuba Hill there'll be no orthodox people around.

Are we still going up the Hill?

We'll go.

I insist on going up Wuba Hill to see what's going on.

Not only for the sake of Mount Hua Sect but also for Linghu Chong's.

Come, young Master Linghu.

Let's go.

Linghu Chong.

Master.

These friends of yours are inviting you so passionately.

It'd be disrespectful not to go.

Master.

Young Master Linghu.

Your Master has agreed to go up.

Stop dragging the matter.

Come!

Please come on up Young Master Linghu!

Master!

Everyone.

Friends.

I am just a nobody.

To have such a warm reception from you all.

I, Linghu Chong am most grateful.

I have neither gold nor silver.

Nor do I have the Evil-warding Sword Manual.

I have nothing and cannot repay you.

But...

But I ask you friends to please tell me who put you all up to this?

Who can solve this puzzle for me?

I...

I would be most grateful.

Young Master Linghu.

You are not with nothing.

You have all of us as your friends!

- Yes. - Your friends.

Thank you all.

Many thanks.

Young Master Linghu!

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

Young Master Linghu.

Please rest inside the tent.

Please come in.

Greetings, Young Master Linghu.

Mister Zu.

These people are?

Young Master.

They are famous doctors from all over

that all the friends outside brought to look at your sickness.

- Thank you. Many thanks. - Please sit down.

Come on over here you guys.

See what kind of sickness the young Master has.

All of you get lost.

It's Elder Ping.

Everyone go away.

Quick.

Leave quickly.

These common doctors...

What do they know?

Elder Ping.

You've come as well.

Elder Ping.

All men live and die.

Perhaps, you shouldn't waste your time any longer.

Elder Ping?

- Come. - Drink...

Drink more...

Enjoy yourselves.

Your condition has changed.

Along the way from Kaifeng to Wuba Hill

you've taken multiple kinds of heavy medicine.

After your heavy blood loss

your body took in the poison blood of Five Fairies cultists.

Furthermore, you've been drinking too much wine.

Elder is truly godlike in his diagnosis.

Nothing godlike about it.

How do you mean?

If you continue like this even god himself cannot save your life.

First of all quit drinking.

Secondly, no more martial arts.

Thirdly, keep away from girls.

Don't even think about it.

If you do all that, perhaps you can live another year or two.

Elder Ping.

To truly live, one must enjoy life to the fullest.

If one cannot drink wine or think about women

and when someone bullies you you can't even fight back?

Then death would be preferable.

Elder Ping.

I am most grateful for your good intentions.

To live or to die it is but fate.

Like how Elder Ping has great medical expertise

but still cannot save one fated to die as I am.

Linghu Chong.

Doctor Ping.

Is his sickness not cured yet?

His sickness cannot be cured!

Elder Ping is joking.

My sickness is already cured.

I thought so too.

He's the Famed Killer Physician.

After he cures someone he kills another.

If he doesn't cure you now who would he kill?

Come, Linghu Chong.

- Let's go drink! - Let's go!

Elder Ping.

Many thanks.

Let's go already!

If I can't cure him who do I kill?

If I can't cure him who do I kill?

Please.

Drink. Drink it.

Thank you, little Sister.

Okay then.

Let us all drink one together!

A toast to you all!

Bottoms up.

Pour it!

Pour more wine.

Please give way.

Master.

I...

There's no need, stand up.

Everyone.

I am very thankful everyone can be here to celebrate

a banquet to the young hero Linghu.

I am honored to be here accompanying you all with our Mount Hua Sect.

Here, I shall borrow your wine and give a toast to you all.

Many thanks, Headmaster Yue.

Of course, I toast to you as well, young hero Linghu.

- Master... - I shall drink first in respect.

Elder Ping!

Elder!

Elder!

My dear. You hear that?

We're leaving.

- What about Linghu Chong? - Let's go.

Young Master Linghu!

Young Master Linghu.

Please don't say you saw us here!

On behalf of our good will just say you don't know anything.

Farewell!

[Grave of Elder Ping Yizhi Famed Physician]

Brother Yue.

You sure show no mercy at all.

So it's you, Brother Lu Bai.

Speak. What do you want?

Nothing really.

I just caught wind that some people of the martial world

were planning a big gathering at Wuba Hills.

So I came to take a look.

I didn't expect Mount Hua Sect to have such prestige.

To have hundreds of martial art world lowlifes come and pay such respect.

This had nothing to do with my Mount Hua Sect.

Really now?

Then is Linghu Chong not your eldest disciple?

Alliance chief Zuo should mind his own business.

Go back and tell chief Zuo.

This is an internal matter of Mount Hua Sect.

It does not concern the Five Mountain Alliance.

Is that so?

When the time comes

I will surely give our martial art colleagues a satisfactory answer.
