The Legend of Chusen

Episode 18

The Ten Thousand Poison Sect is from Nanjiang.

In all these years, it's just been a nameless little sect.

Nothing happened to it, and no one noticed it.

Until 170 years ago, one of its disciples

from the marsh of death, was able to get a book and a small sword.

The book is called Poison Scriptures.

The sword is called Severing Yearning.

Severing Yearning?

Severing Yearning is poisonous by itself.

If you get cut by it,

the poison will be with you forever. There is no antidote for it.

Thankfully, that treacherous old man didn't use Severing Yearning that day.

Or else we'd be in trouble!

And?

And...the old treacherous man used Severing Yearning

to kill all who opposed him.

He called himself the Poison God.

He then used his Thousand Poison Pill to control three powerful subordinates.

The first, is the Blood Sucking Old Monster.

The second, Bai Du Zi.

The third, is his lead disciple.

Mr. Poison, Qing Wu Yan.

I've seen both the Blood Sucking Old Monster and Bai Du Zi before.

But Mr. Poison has yet to show himself.

I've been thinking about this problem too.

We screwed up that old man so terribly.

He definitely won't give up easily.

Also, that Mr. Poison hasn't shown himself yet.

He might be hidden within Yudu City.

To wait for the right time to give us the final fight.

Yudu is so big.

Mr. Poison has also yet to show himself. Where are we to look?

Wait. I'm thinking,

within the wine that Jing Ping'er gave the old city chief,

there was the Ten Thousand Poison Sect's poison.

But she insists that she is innocent.

Then...could it have been Mr. Poison?

Mr. Poison's goal is to go against Jing Ping'er.

Now Jing Ping'er has been driven out of the embroidery shop.

Yan Lie has already banished her.

We all know why he wanted to destroy the embroidery shop.

Because...he is Mr. Poison.

Zhang Xiao Fan, you've gotten smart!

But we have no proof.

That's simple! Come on!

Come on!

Let's go fishing.

-Come on!-Fishing?

Why do we have to dress like your father's subordinates?

Because Jing Yu's martial arts are better than yours.

You are so clumsy. You'd be exposed almost immediately!

You're more fitting to stand here and not move. It'll be harder to expose you that way.

I don't want to have to save you like at Kong San Mountain again!

If things are dragged out, you know the consequences.

Who's there?

It's me.

-Why are you--Naturally, I came to help you.

Did Yan Lie do anything after sealing off the embroidery shop?

I don't know. All the sisters were locked in the front villa.

They're not allowed to go into the back villa.

I'll go look in the back villa. Tell your sisters,

that no matter what happens, they must not come out.

Can that Ah Xiang be trusted?

His fiance is inside the embroidery shop.

He can definitely be trusted.

A Tianyin disciple falls for a He Hwan disciple. How could that be trusted?

What happened to your separation between good and evil?

Where are your morals?

Ah Ling is like you. She hasn't done anything bad.

Naturally, we trust her.

What's going on?

Disciples of the Ghost King Sect?

We couldn't find you anywhere, so we had to come into Yudu City.

What does the Ghost King mean by this?

If he wants an alliance, go find the sect leader.

I'll send you on the right path.

The sect leader just went back to Poison Snake Valley.

There's no need to go to Poison Snake Valley.

After all, Yudu City has you at it's head right now.

The Poison God wants too much.

Our sect leader already said last time that we cannot give it.

But perhaps we can fulfill your wishes.

You are so certain that I'd betray my sect?

Or else you wouldn't stay still within Yudu City

and let your sect fall for Qing Yun's ambush at Kong San Mountain.

That was Teacher's orders.

You and I know if they were or not.

The Ghost King has agreed to do his best to help you rise in the ranks.

He will also use magic to create an antidote for the Thousand Poison Pill.

Gold Light Cauldron? That's it!

Wait!

Ah Xiang! Ah Xiang! Are you okay?

Run!

Wait!

Let's go!

Come.

Based on his height and figure, that person is definitely Yan Lie.

-I'll go look for him!-Don't be foolish!

Sit down!

He plotted to hide in Yudu City for so long.

How could he not have a backup plan?

We are in the dark right now, he is in the light.

We have to pretend like nothing happened.

Only then can we take the next step.

But what if he jumps ahead and attacks the old city chief?

Hasn't he already?

How else would he have been poisoned?

Even if we capture him now, we might not get the antidote.

If we let him escape again...

You're right. I was being too rash.

You shouldn't have touched that cauldron!

Now we've alerted the enemy!

What should we do now?

Stabilize him first.

And then find a way to investigate what poison he used.

I'll go to the Ghost King Sect to find an old friend.

Perhaps he has a way to fight that brat.

But you two must not act rashly again!

What are you doing?

I...was just taking a walk!

Are you better now?

Yep, I'm fine now!

Don't come over!

You'll get scolded by your master again!

I have to return to the Ghost King Sect, so I came to say goodbye.

You're going back?

Then work hard and rise up the ranks! Don't let them scold you anymore!

This is for you.

-What is this?-My mother's tooth.

I was raised by a dog.

I don't want it, why are you giving me this?

To guard you! Look, your body is so weak!

You get poisoned, and then later you'll get possessed by a ghost!

You're going to get possessed by a ghost! I don't want it!

-Take it, take it!-I don't want it!

I don't want it!

Y-y-you!

-Take it! Don't run away!-What are you doing? I don't want it!

-Take it, take it!-I don't want it!

-Xiao Huan?-What are you doing? Help!

What are you doing?

What's it got to do with you? I haven't gotten revenge last time yet!

I'm not done with you yet!

Has he gone crazy?

Sister Xue Qi, be careful!

Young Mistress!

-Wild Dog, what's wrong?-Young Mistress!

My head hurts!

Hurry and sit down!

What are you doing?

Last night, I found a cauldron for pill making in the embroidery shop.

A cauldron for pill making?

After Jing Ping'er left, we found a green medicine cauldron in the embroidery shop.

There's evil magic on it.

I think that the poison in your wine

was also made from this cauldron.

Who stole it?

It's likely Jing Ping'er's evil sect partners.

Their goal was to destroy the evidence.

Last night, when I received the intelligence, I already ordered our men to lock down all city gates and

to secretly search. As long as we find this object,

we can definitely find her partners in crime.

Xiao Fan. Do you two need something?

Nothing, nothing, Jing Yu and I were just taking a walk.

We won't bother you two.

Wait! Calm down!

That's my grandpa! How am I supposed to be calm?

The Ten Thousand Poison Sect is cruel and must be guarded against.

If we alert the enemy again and let Yan Lie escape,

what do we do about the old city chief's poison?

You two had Bi Yao investigate it and kept this from me?

That's right! Why didn't you tell us about something so important?

How could we? It happened so quickly.

How could we know that Yan Lie was in the embroidery shop last night?

Stop arguing! How can people on the same side start arguing first?

Anyway, my grandpa is already old. I won't take his life as a joke!

Don't rush, and listen to me.

Senior Sister, is Bi Yao hurt?

I don't know.

Senior Sister, listen to me. Bi Yao has agreed to find a master

to help treat the old city chief.

Perhaps he can get rid of the poison.

Yan Lie. Jing Ping'er. Wild Dog. They are all full of plots!

Do you still trust the evil sect's words?

I regret saving her now!

Senior Sister Lu, you have misunderstood Bi Yao. She's been helping us think of plans!

To think of a plan to get rid of Yan Lie

and let her own group win, right?

What use is suspecting each other now?

Enough. Don't rush.

Give me an hour. Don't say or do anything.

Just one hour, okay?

-Where are you going?-To look for someone.

Timing & subitles brought to you by Gone with the Shirt Team@Viki

Mr. Ghost? You also belong to the evil sect?

The Ghost King and I are old friends.

I received his letter recently to help him take care of Bi Yao.

Bi Yao has already told me about your situation.

Mr. Gui (Ghost), look at them. Despising our sect's action on one side,

and then they come asking us for help!

We should go ask their sect leader

and see where he'd hide his face!

Bi Yao, don't be rude.

Yudu City has lives at stake right now. Good and evil aren't separate right now.

Yes, but their Lu Xue Qi almost hurt me today!

Senior Sister did it to save you.

Based on my observations, Wild Dog was indeed poisoned.

You and Ye Gou have been careful with your food and drink but yet you two were still secretly poisoned.

it seems that within Yudu City, there are more than a few people poisoned.

Then what about the old city chief?

Yes or no, we'll know after testing it.

Take me to go see him first.

City Chief's Mansion

City chief, have you had insomnia?

Yes. I am old and weak.

The city chief was just very ill. He'll be fine with some medicine.

Sir, where are you from?

I remember that you are not from this city.

I wander the world and work in Jianghu.

I happened to pass by Yudu recently, and met these young people.

How can someone with an unknown background diagnose the city chief?

That's right. Who are you? What do you want?

Old City Chief, your body is very good. There is no need for medicine. I'll be leaving.

You-! Who are you? Look, I said it, didn't I?

Right! I already said that I am not ill. I just was too trusting before.

It's okay.

Old Man Wei's situation is already very severe.

We cannot take a single wrong step in this matter.

His body is like a candlelight fickering in the wind.

As I see it, the poison has been there for at least five years.

It's already merged to become one with the body.

If we rashly try to remove it, it'll only put his life in danger.

Why has it only shown itself after so many years?

After the poison enters the body, it'll wander between the different parts of the body.

On the contrary, it'll be harder for old people and children to show signs of it.

People with strong bodies and good martial arts

are at greater risk of it showing itself.

Then what should we do now?

There is one way.

But, we have to be careful.

The Old City Chief's poison is similar to Wild Dog's.

As I see things, the Poison God must have personally made it five years ago.

And then gave it to Yan Lie.

He put this half finished product to test on the Old City Chief

to achieve his goal of seizing Yudu.

If my guesses are right, the Poison God's poison,

even Yan Lie cannot cure it.

But, it's not like there's nothing we can do.

He was just the person to place the poison.

As long as we find the poison bug's mothers,

we can fix all the problems.

As long as it's a poison bug, it must have a mother.

I'll give you the task of finding the mothers.

Find someone with poison bugs in their body and find a way to force them out.

Then the poison bugs will naturally fly to their mothers.

Will that spell really work?

It's my first time trying it to. Now that you mention it,

the Cliff Swallow Grass and the God of Beast's blood,

you told them all about it. Are you not afraid that your father will find out and blame you?

I...I...! I just saw that they were in a panic!

No matter what, you still belong to the Ghost King Sect.

Yudu City is complicated right now.

In the face of weighing the pros and cons, you should know very well. Don't lose the big picture just because of minor things.

I got it.

I didn't think that those of the evil sect could come into the city chief's mansion.

I was just about to find you. Why did you want to kill Wild Dog?

You should ask him what he's done.

Can't you keep a grip on your subordinates? He keeps looking for trouble!

If Wild Dog didn't carry you back, you'd be dead multiple times already! Treating favor with revenge!

You-! Who let you come in here?

Stop fighting!

I'll send you two out. This way, please.

Zhang Xiao Fan!

Senior Sister, after you go back, Shu Shu will explain.

Xiao Huan, let's go.

This way please.

How is it? Who are we going to use to try?

According to what the Ghost King said to do, he suspects that Xiao Huan was hit by the poison bugs.

X-Xiao Huan? No! She just got better!

If you drag her here and problems occur again, then what?

She just drank Cliff Swallow Grass. The poison bug's power should be the weakest now.

-She should be able to take it.-You should go.

Why me?

Go on, stop being a nag.

Then-!

Go on! Go on!

I didn't think that outside of Qing Yun,

the world's matters would be so complicated.

It'll get better.

I hope so.

It's just...I'm still thinking about another matter.

What?

The Immortal Sect Leader received Senior Brother Xiao's news

that the evil sect is in Kong San Mountain. According to what my teacher said,

their goal this time

is to look for a place called Wanfu (Thousand Bats) Ancient Cave.

That's why you wanted to investigate Kong San Mountain?

But, we didn't find out anything at Kong San Mountain.

Evil sects are gathering in Yudu, the Poison God is creating poison within Kong San Mountain.

What is their goal?

I guess that according to what Bi Yao said, it has to do with the God of Beasts's blood.

Yan Lie hid within Yudu City for five years.

Perhaps this plan already started five years ago.

The Poison God first sent him as a spy, then used this poison

to control Yudu's people. Their plan

isn't just to obtain Yudu. Why did Bi Yao come here?

What about Jing Ping'er? Also Ah Xiang's sect, and Li Xun too!

Could it be that Yan Lie's ultimate goal is Wanfu Ancient Cave?

-Hurry up!-Let go of me!

-Hurry up!-I won't try it!

-You'll be better really quickly!-I wasn't hit by a spell, let go!

Come on! If you weren't hit by a spell, why are you afraid?

Hurry up and come here to help!

That hurts!

Did you see? There's nothing I can do.

You are her Brother Xiao Fan. You should go.

Go on!

Okay. I'll go.

Hurry and hide this for me! The entire city is looking for this, saying it's been lost!

You were the one who wanted to take it, and now you're bringing it back.

You're getting us into a mess!

This is our Tianyin Sect's treasure. I couldn't stand by and do nothing!

Help me!

Hurry and come out! Xiao Huan and Xiao Fan are coming!

Brother Xiao Fan, where are you taking me?

I'm bringing you to see your grandpa.

I'm not going!

Xiao Huan, you have to help me explain things!

I won't go!

-Stop it, let's go.-I won't go!

-Xiao Huan, cut it out!-I won't go!

-Xiao Huan!-I won't go!

-Help!-Zhang Xiao Fan!

What are you doing?

Zhang Xiao Fan!

Xiao Fan, take my place!

Okay!

Xue Qi! We are just using Xiao Huan to test something!

You dare to trust the evil sect's demon's words? Move aside!

-Xiao Huan!-Xue Qi!

Th-they have been poisoned too!

-Ah Xiang, look after them!-Okay!

How are you doing?

Speak. I can take it.

You and Senior Sister Lu, as well as the poison in Xiao Huan's body

has been forced out.

But...the poison bug's mother is in your grandpa's body.

You are all Qing Yun disciples.

How did this poison enter your bodies?

We didn't even know that we were poisoned.

-In such a big Yudu City,-Grandpa...

how many people were poisoned?

Grandpa! I have to look for my grandpa!

-Grandpa!-Don't go.

Yan Lie is by his side. Don't do a seemingly clever thing that will turn out as a foolish one.

What foolish thing? That's my grandpa!

I watched him get poisoned and couldn't do a thing!

You don't have family, how would you understand?

Shu Shu!

That's right. My family is all gone.

That's why I don't know the pain of losing family.

I'm sorry, Xiao Fan. I'm sorry.

There is no dead end path in this world. Since Mr. Ghost knows about the bug mother,

then we can definitely draw it out. Don't alert Yan Lie first.

Before we came we tested things out. Me, Jing Yu, and Ah Xiang don't have bugs.

But we don't know why Senior Sister and Xiao Huan do.

Today, did you and Lu Xue Qi eat something Yan Lie sent over?

No. Recently, Xue Qi has been hiding away to cultivate. She didn't eat anything.

She only drank a little water.

Ah Xiang, have you drank any water from Yudu's river or wells?

No. The water in our villa is melted snow pack.

The water we use to make the teas are spring water from Kongsang Mountain.

-So...-It could be...the river?

That's possible.

Bi Yao and I were guessing that he might have embezzled those money

and then framed Li Xun for it.

That way, he also left a road for himself to set poison.

It's just that the Poison God left in defeat and in the end, left the poison bugs to him.

And he put poison in the river.

We worry that more people will get poisoned from the water.

If we don't control the poison bug mother soon, the consequences are unthinkable.

Mr. Ghost. Please, save my grandfather!

Get up.

There are some words that I don't know if I should say.

What are you doing?

The city guards are here to enforce the law of searching for the thief and the stolen items. People who have no relations with this, please stand aside.

You cannot block official matters.

Guard Yan, why are you here instead of guarding the City Chief?

I didn't think that Qing Yun disciples would be in the same group as the Ghost King Sect.

Totally causing the righteous sects to lose their dignity.

Guard Yan, this Mountain and Ocean Villa is my family property.

In our business, we accept everyone from anywhere.

According to Yudu's rules, no matter who comes, as long as they don't do evil within the city,

not caring what side they are on, they are treated the same.

You're not trying to break this rule, are you?

Rules are set by people, and can be changed by people.

The Old City Chief has given orders to search this place.

The City Chief's orders!

Besides, a robbery happened in the embroidery shop last night.

The thief went into hiding. If we are able to find the missing item here in Shan Hai Yuan ( Mountain and Seas Garden),

The Ghost King Sect is guilty of robbery.

And the crime of colluding with Jing Ping'er too. It is a serious crime.

Searching this place, is reasonable.

Who...can stop me?

-Search!-Stop!

Hero Zhang, do you have something to say?

If you can't find anything?

I have the City Chief's orders about that.

The Old City Chief has given orders that from today on,

all evil sect members are to leave the city.

They must go where they came from.

Yudu doesn't welcome those of the evil sect.

Our Ghost King Sect isn't the embroidery shop.

You need a reason to kick people out!

A epidemic is spreading around the city, many people are sick.

The Old City Chief is ill as well.

To get rid of your suspicion, I will have to offend you.

Please.

You are too daring!

I only need one finger to destroy your dumb city!

Get lost!

Get lost from Yudu!

Get lost!

Get lost!

Citizens of Yudu. Ever since people from the Ghost King and He Hwan Sects came here,

countless troubles occurred. First, the river water was polluted.

Then chaos reigned on the night of the mid autumn festival.

The Old City Chief has decided that from today on,

we will not accept outsiders.

That's right!

Well said!

Look at these people. If we don't banish them, they will cause trouble here sooner or later.

Get lost! Go away!

Get lost! Leave this place!

Get lost!

Get lost! Leave!

Stop!

Everyone, Li Xun has already left Yudu. I will succeed the position of City Chief.

Zheng Shu Shu, your words are too certain.

If the Old City Chief finds out that you are colluding with the Ghost King Sect

and harmed him to steal the City Chief position,

I wonder what he'd do?

We won't discuss if that's true or not yet.

My grandpa's illness,

came before the Ghost King Sect arrived here.

Neither is the epidemic their doing.

Guard Yan.

We don't need to wait for you to investigate things.

You've been in Yudu for many years.

I'm afraid this place has no position for us.

Bi Yao.

Let's go.

-You just wait!-Get lost!

Get lost!

Get lost!

We didn't find the location of the poison bugs.

It must have permeated the bottom of the river already and has spread into the whole city.

Let's go back.

Mr. Ghost told me

if my grandpa knew he was poisoned,

and he isn't being controlled by Yan Lie,

when he learns that he and all the city citizens are in danger,

Then the first he'd save would definitely be the people.

Saving one person

and saving the people in the whole city is not in conflict.

We learned techniques at Qing Yun

in order to make ourselves stronger

and not to be forced to make decisions for these kinds of matters.

But I don't know why.

I have a bad feeling that even if we get rid of the poison spell,

it would be hard for Grandpa to return to the way he used to be.

Evil can't beat good. If the Old City Chief he...

would you become the new city chief?

I don't know.

Xiao Fan. I suddenly feel that I am very selfish.

I only cared for my grandpa's safety.

But I never thought about the lives of the city's residents.

Until now,

I am still thinking about not taking up this responsibility.

If Grandpa's body was fine, that would be great.

I also once thought that if my parents were still alive,

and that event didn't happen, I'd rather be at Grass Temple Village

and be a stupid wood cutting child. But time is like the river water.

Once it flows by, it cannot be turned back.

They have been sent out of the city.

What should we do now?

You all saw it too.

The citizens around Shan Hai Yuan were being instigated by Yan Lie.

They were probably also poisoned.

Yan Lie has good tricks.

The entire city's people, including the Old City Chief's life,

is all held in his hands.

So Mr. Ghost reminded me to not openly work against him.

Only when we work in the dark will we have a chance.

That's right.

When he's the most arrogant, thinking his plan is going to succeed,

It would be the time when he will underestimate his enemies the most.

Did Mr. Ghost and Bi Yao say where they were going?

No. They just said they'd stay away from the trouble for now.

In order to avoid harming innocents and falling for their trick.

City Chief, they'll come very soon.

You've come just in time. The City Chief has something to ask you.

City Chief, Zheng Shu Shu has come.

Zheng Shu Shu, you still have face to come see me?

Yan Lie, what have you done to my grandpa??

I'm protecting him.

So he won't be ambushed by those with underlying motives.

City Chief.

Earlier, when I was searching the whole city, I saw them defending the Ghost King Sect

and worked with the evil sect to harm you.

Grandpa, don't believe Yan Lie. He's the guilty person and yet he's the first to complain!

He kicked out Bi Yao and Jing Ping'er to dominate Yudu!

He's from the Ten Thousand Poison Sect!

In this situation, you still want to frame me?

I found this fragrance cauldron in your room.

If you didn't ally with the evil sect,

why would this fragrance cauldron be with you?

Rubbish! The one that was occupying the Silk Embroidery Workshop that day clearly was you!

Nonsense!

Come! Zheng Shu Shu tried to kill the City Chief! Arrest him!

Yan Lie, where is your confidence from? You are fighting us alone?

Who said I was alone? Behind me is the Old City Chief!

And the entire city's residents!

Yan Lie, just tell us what you want!

It's simple. As long as you and your fellow disciples leave Yudu,

and never interfere with us again,

this way, I can protect

your grandpa well, Miss Xiao Huan,

and the entire city's people.

I'm giving you a last chance. Fighting this out to the finish,

to me, to you, what good is there?
