Episode 27

Taoist Chongxu might not deal with crooks.

That is because he is benevolent.

But this third match has not been fought yet.

Linghu Chong.

How about I compete with you instead?

Master...

How interesting.

Mister Yue.

Mount Hua Sect does not belong to you alone.

Linghu Chong.

Show him the Nine Swords of Dugu that was passed down to you by Elder Feng.

The soul and essence of Mount Hua Sect is actually held by you.

For Mount Hua to have spawned a traitor like you

who else would clean it up if not me.

Come.

No matter what happens, one of us will die today.

Master.

I...

I dare not!

Who's your master?

Linghu Chong.

You can make your move now.

You've already yielded three moves to me.

I'll take that as repayment for raising you.

If you still won't draw your sword then prepare to die by mine.

Yingying!

This day between the two of them would have come sooner or later.

To settle things here today would be a fair solution to everyone.

It would also be favorable for Brother Linghu's long journey ahead.

Brother Linghu.

If you won't make your move are you really going to end your life here?

When I was young I was poor and alone.

Master and Headmistress had raised and taught me.

They are as close as real parents.

I have not repaid their kindness.

How can I defeat Master in front of all present?

He would lose face and his name discredited.

But if I do not fight him or if I lose

Yingying, Brother Xiang, Elder Ren would be confined here at Shaolin for ten years.

Ten years time...

Who can guarantee Yingying's safety?

Who can guarantee that Zuo Lengchan and others

would not secretly seek to bring harm to them?

Master...

En garde!

Master!

Yingying.

It seems Yue Buqun is intent on killing him.

Linghu Chong reveres his master.

Nothing I say will sway him.

Master!

Mister Yue.

I sheathed my sword and admit defeat

because Linghu Chong's skill with the sword is top in the martial world today.

I am serious in saying that.

Master!

Master!

My dear!

Just spare his life this once.

Master.

I am no match for you.

Let us stop this.

Master Fangzheng.

There is no clear victor between master and pupil.

Let us call these three contests today a draw.

I give you my apologies.

We will take our leave.

Merciful Buddha.

Cult Master Ren is right in saying that.

I have no objections.

Headmaster Yue.

If you do this, can you still claim to be Mount Hua Sect's Headmaster?

Master, I am sorry!

My dear!

From this day forth, you are a mortal enemy of Mount Hua Sect.

Even if I do not kill you today, the disciples of Mount Hua surely will someday.

Master! Master!

Master...

Where is this?

Hades.

If it was so easy to meet Hades that would be good.

I fear that from this day forth

the martial arts world would label me as a shameless crook

who cheated his teacher and disowned his family.

Do you regret going to Shaolin to save me?

Why would I regret it?

In order to save me, you even put your life at the mercy of Shaolin.

Even if I gave my life to you, it still wouldn't repay your great kindness.

You still speak to me in this way showing you still take me as an outsider.

I...

I don't blame you.

I know you still can't let go of someone.

Little Sister is...

Perhaps, I was never someone worthy of her love.

She'll surely find more happiness being with Brother Lin than me.

I am very envious of your Little Sister.

From the start, it was your pure love for her that touched me.

I've never met a vagabond like you who was so pure in heart and spirit.

So crazy foolish as well!

Why are you looking at me like that?

I...

I'm awkward and clumsy.

It's hard to express myself.

But, if I could find someone like Granny to be my wife...

Really?

I only hope that is not just idle talk.

I...

I was...

I don't want you to die for me.

I just want you to treat me well and never ever leave my side.

Do you promise?

Well...

Your words weren't sincere just now, were they?

You don't really care about me, do you?

No, no!

If I was lying to you just now may the heavens strike me down...

Don't say such things.

People of the martial arts world like us are perhaps destined to die an ugly death.

If you should disappoint me someday...

I...

I'd rather kill you by my own sword!

Granny...

The snowy scenery on this mountain is beautiful.

The scenery here reminds me of Repentance Cliff on Mount Hua.

The slopes there are also green on the sides

but the peak is snow capped the whole year round.

Dad!

What's the matter with them?

My dad was hit by Zuo Lengchan's Real Icy Energy.

Brother Xiang is trying to rid it for him.

Let us all help Cult Master Ren rid the Real Icy Energy from his body.

Let's channel our energies together.

Master, it's time to go.

Master Nun.

Brother Zuo, what do you want?

A little while ago, I sent one of my men to bring you a letter.

Have you received it?

Do you mean that letter about the merger of the Five Mountain Sword Sects?

The demonic cultists have wrecked havoc at Shaolin.

Ren Woxing has resurfaced in the martial arts world.

You wanted my opinion on it, did you not?

That's right.

I oppose the merger of the five sects.

Master Nun.

The cultists have built up strength for more than ten years.

Their threat to our orthodox order grows by the day.

In our current situation

only by merging the five sects can we stand to resist and destroy the demonic cult

and restore order to the martial arts world.

I'm sure you can see the logic in that.

I don't see it that way.

Five fists from five different directions can have many variations in attack.

It should be better than one fist attacking from one direction, right?

I am a straightforward person.

You probably have an ulterior motive for the merger, don't you?

What do you think my motives are then?

Excuse me for being frank.

Your motive for the merger of the five sects

is to be the headmaster of the newly formed sect.

I will make this clear first then.

If you agree to the merger of the sects

I will recommend you for the headmaster position.

What do you say?

Thank you for your appreciation.

It's a pity that I have no such ambitions.

My only concern is for the well-being of North Mount Heng.

As long as I am headmaster of North Mount Heng

I will never agree to a merger of the five sects.

So be it then.

It was simply a suggestion.

I'm not imposing it on anyone.

There's something I wish to say, if I may?

Please do.

The primary concern right now of the Five Mountain Sword Sects

should be to stop the internal fighting amongst us.

Not the merging of the sects.

I have always been direct and straightforward.

If I have offended you in any way I ask that you forgive me.

If we can merge the sects

wouldn't the bickering between the sects naturally cease at once?

Please think it over again carefully.

We will take our leave now. Farewell.

Headmaster Zuo.

Such things cannot be rushed.

Master Fangzheng.

Thank you once again, Headmaster Yue for rushing all the way here to aid us.

Not at all, Master Fangzheng.

Shaolin was in danger.

Mount Hua could not simply do nothing.

Besides, this entire mess was caused by our former disciple, Linghu Chong.

I should be apologizing to you instead.

You overstate the matter.

This whole mess was caused by me and my lack of foresight.

The misunderstanding between you and young hero Linghu...

Excuse me for being frank.

Don't you think your view of Linghu is a little bit too harsh?

Master.

I am not a keen man.

But Linghu Chong was brought up by me

so I should know him better than anyone else.

I expelled him from our sect but I did it with a heavy heart.

For the sake of Mount Hua Sect's reputation

I had no other choice.

I hope that you can understand my position.

Forgive me for saying too much.

I hear you were on your way to Fujian?

That's right.

When we got your letter seeking for assistance

we rushed here immediately.

My disciples are waiting for us at River West.

That's why we have to hurry back.

Ever since we left Mount Hua

my disciples have drifted with me from place to place.

So I wanted to take them to Fujian to relax and get some rest for a bit.

Then, we'll be returning to Mount Hua.

I see.

I will see you off here then.

I pray for your safe journey back.

Thanks.

Farewell.

Brother Yue.

After all I've said please do not misunderstand.

If you support the merging of the sects

I will recommend you as the new headmaster.

I am not worthy.

I would be ill-suited for that position.

As long as the other sects do not oppose it

I have no objections about it.

I will contact the other sects.

The demonic cult is a powerful foe.

The merger must be done sooner rather than later.

How is it?

Are your wounds all right?

Although the injuries aren't severe I probably need to rest for a few days.

Thank you for your concern, Brother Zuo.

I cannot believe Linghu Chong would fall in league with demonic cultists.

If Master Fangzheng had not interfered my sword would not have showed him mercy.

Say the word and from this day forth

Linghu Chong will also be an enemy of Mount Song.

Linghu Chong has already been expelled by me.

How others view him has nothing to do with me.

All right then.

From this day forth, should Mount Song Sect cross paths with him

we will mercilessly kill him on the spot.

Alliance Chief Zuo.

A small fry like Linghu Chong should not throw the renowned

Five Mountain Sects into such a panic, should he?

Mrs. Yue is right.

Linghu Chong is no threat at all.

But he has allied with the demonic cult to bring harm to the martial arts world.

Will we simply condone such acts?

If we do not get rid of Linghu, the martial arts world can never find peace.

From what you say you have long been prepared to kill Linghu Chong then?

I'm afraid I am not the only one who wishes to kill Linghu Chong.

If Mister Yue's sword had not struck that tree

Linghu Chong would already be dead.

All right then. I wish you a safe journey.

Farewell.

You must closely monitor everything Yue Buqun does in Fujian.

Do not miss anything.

Understood.

I've arranged for White-Hair Fairy, Pu Chen

and Bald Eagle, Sha Tianjiang to spy on Mount Hua Sect.

Please rest assured.

Once they find the Evil-warding Sword Manual

you must obtain it by any means necessary.

Understood.

I already predicted Dingyi would refuse the merger.

Send someone to North Mount Heng to hand this letter to Dingyi.

Just say that Dongfang Bubai has sent men

to Fujian to steal the Evil-warding Sword Manual.

If the demonic cult obtains the manual

it would be disastrous for the orthodox sects.

Our Mount Song Sect has already sent men to Fujian.

Yue Buqun of Mount Hua Sect will also arrive at Fujian soon.

To help keep the situation under control please come assist us at Fujian.

Understood.

Afterwards, you personally lead our men and

eliminate the North Mount Heng Sect on the road.

Understood.

However, you cannot use our men from Mount Song.

I'll have the Three Warriors of North Ji lead their men to handle this matter.

My dear.

Lady's Three Wrath.

It's been a long time since I've seen this move.

Lady's Three Wrath.

So you remember it.

Of course I remember.

Eighteen years ago, you used it on me when you were angry.

Back then, I had understood the expression of your sword.

But today, you did not understand the exchange between me and Linghu Chong.

I don't care about any sword expression.

A tiger does not eat his offspring.

Linghu Chong was brought up by us.

You can expel him from the sect.

But you cannot put him to death!

You're mistaken.

Do you really think I cannot defeat Linghu Chong?

What are you saying?

You.

You only want me not to hurt Linghu Chong.

But you never even understood our exchange.

I'll show you once more.

Return of the Prodigal Son?

Correct.

I was trying to persuade him with my sword.

For him to return to honor.

Perhaps Linghu Chong did not catch it in the moment?

Fine.

Look at this next one then.

Green Pine Greeting?

That's right.

This is Mount Hua's Green Pine Greeting.

What you meant was

if Chong returns to the just path Mount Hua Sect would welcome him back?

That's right.

You are correct this time around.

That little crook immediately used the Chongling Swordplay.

Chongling Swordplay?

Jade Flute Whispers.

The Ideal Scion.

Jade Flute Whispers followed by the Ideal Scion.

Only the Mount Hua Sect can understand it.

If others had figured out that I promised him to be my son-in-law

where can I show my old face again?

What did he use afterward?

The exchange between us was ended by his final thrust to my chest.

Does it still hurt?

My heart aches.

My dear.

It seems I was mistaken about you.

But, that last kick was a little too brutal, wasn't it?

Yes.

His last thrust did make me understand though.

Good and evil can never coexist.

If you still cannot find conviction just strike me down now.

My dear!

My dear!

Little Lin, four snowmen!

There's nobody around here.

Why would someone build snowmen here?

Perhaps it was a passing couple like us?

But Little Lin, why is it four snowmen then?

Let's build a snowman too!

Let's build a you and then build a me.

Little Lin, come on!

Little Lin.

I know you saw Yu Canghai again at Shaolin Temple.

It's reminded you of your parent's death, right?

Little Lin, come down here.

On the way to Shaolin Temple I've spoken to my mother already.

What did you say?

I told my mother that when we get back to Mount Hua, we will get married.

Little Lin.

Aren't you happy?

Little Sister Shan.

I am happy.

So, what did Headmistress say?

My mother...

My mother has given her consent.

Really?

Little Lin.

I know it's painful for you inside.

But for you to live on happily would be the greatest comfort to your parents, right?

You've changed.

Not like back then when I first met you you were like a headstrong princess.

I haven't changed.

Let's play in the snow!

Let's go!

Come.

How fun!

Come on.

They come with ill intent.

Little Sister, let's leave.

Why did you kill my horse?

Your horse?

A weak little boy and little girl.

What sect do you belong to?

I am Lin Pingzhi of Mount Hua.

This is my elder sister last name named Yue.

We do not know one another.

Why kill our horse for no good reason?

Mount Hua, huh?

Your master is that one who lost to his student?

Noble Sword or something Yue Buqun, right?

So what if it is?

This little girl is also named Yue.

What is her relation to Yue Buqun?

What business is it of yours?

You killed my horse.

So you should compensate my horse!

Look at how wild she is.

She is probably Yue Buqun's concubine.

You!

You are our seniors.

Why speak so uncouthly?

This is my master's daughter.

I've long heard tale that Yue Buqun's daughter was a top-notch beauty.

A belle among the younger generation.

Seeing her in person today she's nothing special.

However, in these desolate snow-covered hills

it wouldn't be bad to have a beauty accompany us to warm us up!

Say such shameless things again and I will make you shut it.

Come take a look, everyone!

Come take a look!

Look at these words.

The daydreams of hopeless lovebirds.

Just look at it.

You guys have gone too far!

The two of you go deal with that punk.

I'll handle the little girl alone.

Let's go!

Be careful, Little Lin!

Hold it! Don't kill him.

Leave him alive.

Capture the daughter and son-in-law of Yue Buqun.

Now that hypocrite must do as we say.

Little Sister Shan!

Let her go!

Don't come over here!

Go away!

Little Lin!

You bunch of scoundrels!

Elder Brother!

Stop!

You've humiliated my Little Sister.

None of you shall live.

Say it.

What was written on my back just now?

The sea may dry and rocks may crumble but our love will never change.

Say it one more time.

The sea may dry and rocks may crumble but our love will never change.

Say no more!

You two should get out of here.

How are there such shameless people in the world?

Someone just risked their life to save yours.

You want to leave without saying thanks?

It's a matter between me and him.

If you don't say thanks on this day

the sword in my hand will have something to say.

Are you going to kill me?

Why?

It seems you aren't that foolish.

I will give you another warning.

Yingying, don't!

Leave quickly!

Go!

You can give your life in order to save her.

Isn't that right?

Yingying...

Yingying...

I...

My daughter is a foolish daughter.

Who is Yue Buqun?

How could his daughter compare to mine?

Miss Yue already has a lover.

That kind of wanton girl will not truly capture Linghu Chong's heart.

Besides, Linghu Chong wrecked havoc at Shaolin for you.

The whole world knows it.

He also gave up returning to Mount Hua for you.

Just these two things alone should prove his feelings for you already.

Enough.

You saved the only daughter of the Yue family.

You have repaid their kindness in full.

From now on you owe nothing to them.

This fool Lu is more stupid than ever.

How can he do such a despicable thing?

What? Are these all men from the Sun Moon Holy Cult?

Cult Master Ren.

Is your body rid of the Real Icy Energy?

If not for your assistance I wouldn't have recovered so quickly.

Great Hero Linghu.

You are pretty much my son-in-law now.

I should teach you to open your circulation to

overcome the weakness of the Internal Strength Extraction skill.

All right.

But...

I must mention something once more.

I want to invite you to join the Sun Moon Holy Cult again.

You will not refuse again, will you?

I really cannot.

I am firm on not entering the Sun Moon Holy Cult.

It seems you still bear some nostalgia towards the Mount Hua Sect.

Elder Ren.

Although I am but a vagabond now

but my spirit still lies with the orthodox sects.

Fate allowed us to be friends and help each other through faith and affection.

I hope you can understand.

If I, Ren Woxing, want Mount Hua Sect completely eliminated

and their name completely forgotten in the world

it wouldn't be a difficult matter.

Elder Ren.

Mount Hua Sect has been established for hundreds of years.

It has its own reasons for existing.

It will not rise and fall at the whims of a man so easily.

Elder Ren.

Brother Xiang.

I'll be going first.

See you guys around.

Linghu Chong.

Are you really going to go find that little girl?

At Shaolin Temple, I've declared you as my son-in-law to everyone.

If you really betray Yingying then do not blame me for ignoring sentiment.

Linghu Chong.

You should leave.

From this day forth there are no more debts between us.

If you don't get going, all that is left to be said is by the sword.
