♫ The dark green sea is hazy ♫

♫ dissipating in a flash ♫

♫ Rivers and lakes divide the world ♫

♫ Ten thousands arrows are firing at once ♫

♫ Who has time to worry? Who loves the color of blood? ♫

♫ At that time, spirits are high ♫

♫ Who calls the world his home? Who dares let his horse freely run? ♫

♫ Silently, tears form in the death of night ♫

♫ Heroes are cutting all ties, ♫

♫ giving up whether it's life or death, ♫

♫ never asking what the cost is ♫

♫ Good and evil must be distinguished ♫

♫ The wind blows off the snow ♫

♫ On the body, etch multiple scars, ♫

♫ wandering all over the world, ♫

♫ only wish to ask for answers from this world ♫

♫ A teenager doesn't have to be a hero ♫

♫ There is no need for flowers in the dream ♫

♫ Destiny need not be afraid ♫

♫ Because you have him all the way, ♫

♫ experienced a handful of conquests, ♫

♫ overcame a number of challenges ♫

♫ From now on, happy and free! ♫

♫ The only wish is, with the world, ♫

♫ would come along the willing of change ♫

[Legend of Awakening]

[Episode 36]

The Yan Family is famous for its sword techniques.

Today my son will inherit the Sword of Yan,

as well as Wuji Manor.

Congratulations, Young Master!

What's wrong Old White?

Sword.

The man with the sword.

It was him. He killed my brother.

Old White.

Father, who is that?

Lu Ping, how come it's you?

Kill him. Kill him. You promised me!

- Old White. - Kill him.

Turns out it's you. You are the murderer from 19 years ago.

Murderer? Master Yan is a murderer? What is going on?

Lu Ping, what are you talking about? Who is he?

People from the Mountain and Sea Gang have snuck into the Agile Dragon Army. Get them.

There will be enough time for that later. I, as the son of Leng Xiutan,

will get my justice from you.

- Go. - Kill him!

A Ze, chase them.

[Wuji]

General Wen, what's going on?

Ask your respected father later yourself.

[Wuji Manor]

Master, we've already taken care of the guests.

But Young Master said he would like to go out for a walk.

- What about Ling Ziyan? - Miss Ling has been in her room this whole time, hasn't cried or made a fuss.

She said she would wait for Young Master to return.

At least she's a sensible girl.

What about Young Master?

He is confused. He will be back. You may take your leave.

Yes.

Master, we have divided the disciples into a dozen or so teams of men and horses.

They've searched around Wuji Manor, but haven't found any signs of Lu Ping.

And County Master Xining seems to be back in camp.

She seems to have been hurt.

Continue the search. Send all our men

and stop them from gossiping.

We should say it was the plot of Mountain and Sea Gang, that Lu Ping was lured here by Liu Song.

This needs to be the only version of this story.

Yes.

Go on then.

Yes.

Come on out now.

As my son, you shouldn't be so depressed.

Father, don't you think that you owe me an explanation?

You've always had a reason

for everything you've done.

That year I left home,

you never sent anyone to come and find me.

I knew that you wanted me to grow up.

But I really don't understand what happened today.

You weren't actually detaining Lu Chenfeng for his own safety were you?

That's right.

What about Lu Ping and Qin Sang? Did you send someone to kill them, to silence them?

I should have killed them in person. Then today's troubles would've never happened.

The brother Lu Chengfeng said you killed,

was the master of Big Dipper, Leng Xiutan, right? Lu Ping's father?

Yes.

Father.

But you said his parents were killed by the Mountain and Sea Gang.

That's also correct. I'm the one that started the Mountain and Sea Gang.

I don't understand.

Since we've already discussed this much,

I might as well tell you everything.

More than ten years ago,

Wuji Manor didn't exist in Jianghu.

In Jianghu, only the seven masters of Big Dipper were the most famous.

Master Leng Xiutan was excellent at the Pneuma of Sound.

His wife Shao Yinchu was a hero.

She achieved perfection with the sword on her own.

I was ranked second through my abilities with the Sword of Yan technique.

The rest, Chu Min and Guo Youdao could use both the Pneuma of Strength and Air.

Liu Song was the last to join us.

He was noble, extravagant, and good at the Pneuma of Essence.

Chenfeng was the youngest. He had some mental health issues.

But he was a genius at the Pneuma of Energy.

He was an expert in creating weapons.

Brother Leng was kind and amiable.

He was deeply in love with his wife

and also took good care of us.

We seven were young and in our prime.

Once, on my way to see you and your mother,

I met His Majesty.

He was just a young person then. But his courage and insight were something to be admired immediately.

We talked for an entire night and became close friends.

Brother Yan is skilled in martial arts.

It would be a pity if you don't use your skills to open up new territories.

Worthy little brother, you have such ambitions.

I will do my best to convince Big Dipper to help you and your father.

At that time, the world was a mess, and warlords and heroes were appearing all the time.

Everyone wanted to make a name for themselves, including your father.

But Brother Leng just didn't think the same.

Older Brother, I lost again.

Younger Brother, your sword is vigorous.

I don't think it'll be even two years before you'll surpass me.

Older Brother, I have something I want to say.

There's been so much fighting in the world. These days everyone is vying for supremacy.

It's unbearably chaotic in the Jianghu realm. It's our chance to show our strength.

What if... we got involved?

On my way back, I met Zhai Wei and Zhai Rong.

They are leading the uprising. Most people support them.

We can help them with the help of people from other sects in Jianghu.

- I believe that in the future- - Enough.

Don't say any more. I don't agree.

Brother, our master taught us all martial arts skills.

Was it just so we could swap useless pointers with each other every day?

I have told you many times.

Big Dipper should never interfere in politics.

Our mission is to share and pass down martial arts skills.

Over the years, no matter how many dynasties there are,

we can have only one Big Dipper.

Older Brother, when the world is in chaos, who is able to stay out of it?

If people in Jianghu become the hired hands for the courts,

then martial artists will lose their identities.

Big Dipper doesn't want to interfere and we can't interfere.

Understood.

Older Brother. Older Brother.

Look. I made a suit of armor for Ping'er.

Chenfeng, you are now the Master of Tianquan Peak. You can't keep not studying martial arts skills.

Brother, it's okay if I can't use martial skills. The Big Dipper still has you here.

How is learning martial arts more meaningful than creating weapons?

As long as you're always the master here, then I'll always create weapons for you.

Moreover, once Ping'er is older, he'll definitely be more skilled than me.

I'll count on him to protect me.

Don't let the child fall. Let me.

He's quite strong.

The child was Lu Ping?

That's right. Older Brother was a serious student of martial arts skills.

He didn't care about the secular world.

After the birth of such a talented boy,

he only focused on him.

Big Dipper would contribute nothing under his leadership.

I was full of youth and vigor and angry back then.

It was only because of my painstaking efforts that Big Dipper was at its height.

It was only because he was the master

that I couldn't realize my ambitions.

Therefore, I kept waiting for my chance;

until one day I found out about Liu Song's secret.

Back then, Liu Song had just entered Big Dipper.

He didn't elaborate on his identity.

I felt he had a noble spirit about him.

But also seemed to be hiding a lot of secrets.

Once, I heard him talking with Older Brother.

Today, I was caught by you.

I have nothing to say. Kill me if you want.

I can forgive you.

But Big Dipper's principle is to never interfere with politics.

Right now, you have two choices.

One is, you immediately go down the mountain and continue being the Prince of Dan.

But that means from now on you have no connection with Big Dipper ever again.

The second is, you stay here

and from now onward you are no longer a prince. You are just Song of the sixth peak.

And from then on, Big Dipper will always be with you.

You also would need to hand over the Thousand Pine Ruler and commander's seal

to prove your determination to stop the war.

Follow me.

After my investigation, Liu Song, the one who claimed he admired martial arts

and came to learn martial skills,

was actually the Prince of Dan.

[Big Dipper]

I knew this was my only chance.

So I took the initiative to find Zhai Rong.

The time is right.

What did you prepare in exchange for this cup of tea?

Liu Song is at Big Dipper.

But Leng Xiutan cares very much about him.

As long as he's there, you can't kill Liu Song.

You want the commander's seal? I can get it for you.

Then what do you want in return?

A chance for a new start.

It's a deal.

At the time, Big Dipper always opened its doors

to all the sects in Jianghu to discuss martial arts.

In order to get the seal, I took advantage of when Older Brother and his wife

took Ping'er down the mountain and drew away Chu Min and Guo Youdao.

Only Liu Song and Chenfeng were left on the mountain.

I pretended to leave, saying I was going to see you and your mother.

Zhai Rong and his men disguised themselves as a sect and came in.

They took the opportunity to take the seal.

[Big Dipper]

So as not to make them suspicious,

I gave the sect, that Zhai Rong disguised their group as, a name:

the Mountain and Sea Gang.

If Uncle Leng and them had already left. Why did they suddenly come back?

Was it you that…

Yes. The seal was locked in the Seven Martyr Court.

How could we obtain it so easily? A fight was inevitable.

I knew Brother Leng and his wife, in order to suppress Luping's natural six pneumas,

must have lost a lot of their cultivation.

I purposely asked for their help to lure them back.

Leng Xiutan, hearing Liu Song was in danger,

hurried back before he was fully recovered.

Thanks to Lu Ping, I was able to take them down in one move.

Father.

They retreated from Astronomical Observatory all the way to Seven Martyr Court.

They thought I was there to come to the rescue.

He never put his guard up around me.

- Brother. Sister. - Qiuci.

My wife and I will guard this place.

You go to the secret room to help Song and Ping'er and take them away.

Brother.

Brother. Brother!

[Big Dipper]

Brother, don't worry.

I will be better than you.

I shouldn't have let Lu Chengfeng live.

But I had already killed Brother Leng and his wife.

I couldn't bear

to kill my junior.

I had no intention to kill them all.

But I couldn't let him go and risk spreading the truth.

I locked him up in the water prison at Wuji Manor.

I destroyed his memory with drugs.

I told people he was out traveling around and that his whereabouts were unknown.

So you knew from the beginning that Liu Song was behind the Mountain and Sea Gang.

Yes, that's right.

I just didn't think that he had gotten so good at the Pneuma of Essence.

Surprisingly, he even created diversions to dodge my men as they searched for him.

I never thought they would've hidden the seal in the Thousand Pine Ruler.

Didn't you get the Thousand Pine Ruler back?

Can't you let Lu Ping and the others go? Don't make any more mistakes.

We can't let the truth get out.

Otherwise, the reputation of Wuji Manor will be destroyed.

He is my brother. He is the son of your older brother.

Dead men tell no tales.

Father, you didn't teach me to be like this.

Since childhood, I was taught to be a straightforward and upright hero.

Heroes shouldn't be like this.

How am I not straight forward and upright?!

I single-handedly brought peace among all the disputes these past few years.

I even protected the border

by building Wuji Manor in Jin City.

I earned my position as the Master of Jianghu through my own two hands.

My conscience is clear.

The position shows both my ambition and my responsibility.

But you started all this by killing and trapping your brothers and fellow disciples.

Now the ones killing people are the Mountain and Sea Gang.

If it weren't for me, the Mountain and Sea Gang would be a hundred times more rampant than it is now!

All of Jianghu could have been cut into pieces and swallowed up as separate territories.

Father.

I can live up to the position as a master of martial arts.

This world will always need a hero.

Not just me. You will be one, too.

Father, I beg you. Lu Ping is my brother through life and death.

Zhao Xifan can be merciful. You, Yan Xifan cannot.

You are the successor of the master of martial arts circles.

For the sake of the future,

you have to think this through thoroughly.

Master, you really are clever.

After I sent that item over, something happened at Wuji Manor.

Lu Chenfeng created a tremendous uproar at the wedding.

Now, he and Lu Ping are on the run.

Is the item still with Yan Qiuci?

Yes. He can't bear to let it go.

[Mountain Sea]

After so many years,

it seems like he hasn't changed.

Help me prepare well.

This grace, I have to repay my second brother in person.

Yes.

Why?

Young Master Xifan.

Why?!

Young Master Xifan, we don't have time to indulge in sadness.

We have to think about how to make this a win-win situation. Stop Master Yan from killing Lu Ping.

Otherwise, both of them will suffer. Then the Mountain and Sea Gang will have gotten everything they wanted.

In the end, only our loved ones are sad, while the hated ones are happy.

Ziyan, can you help me?

Master. Younger Master…

One has to sacrifice something in order to do something big. Give him some time and he will understand.

All right. What's next?

Continue to search for Lu Ping and Lu Chenfeng.

I will go meet with Princess Xining.

Princess, Master Yan has arrived.

Princess Xining.

Wen Rui, I have something to talk to Master Yan about.

Leave us.

- Princess. - Leave us.

Yes.

Yan Qiuci, you unscrupulous dog.

You escaped from death.

I didn't think to come and get payback but instead searched for Lu Ping.

You didn't leak any information to your closest lieutenant general either.

I would boldly hazard a guess

that when you were in the water prison, you had already figured it out.

That the events 19 years ago regarding the Seven Peaks, had something to do with not only me,

but also His Majesty.

Master Yan, you have a lot of tricks.

You, Princess, are clever.

I could never understand why

His Majesty treated Lu Ping so strangely.

He wanted to make Lu Ping an official but he was still guarded around him.

All the evidence can be linked. It was the only explanation.

Now the entire alliance against the Mountain and Sea Gang

is supported by Wuji Manor. The arrow is already on the string.

Princess, as a loyal woman,

you should know the benefit and the harm.

I warn you. I will find Lu Ping.

But if you dare hurt him, I will destroy all of Wuji Manor as payment.

Lu Ping, wait for me.

Master, wait for me!

Qin Sang.

Where is my brother?

Why are you two here?

We found a way to break the pneuma confinement in Wuyou Valley and came to tell my brother.

Why? Isn't he with you?

Stop talking about Lu Ping. She looks a little off. Let me check your pulse first.

Don't rush to check my pulse. You came at just the right time.

Let's go find Lu Ping together.

This… This…

What is it?

No.

Thank you, Ziyan.

Let's hope the effects last until we're done with everything.

Father, you taught me to be upright and straightforward since I was a child.

To be a brave hero.

I hope that you will always be that hero.

The mistakes you've made in the past, I will make up for you.

I just hope you won't hate me later.

Old White,

I didn't take good care of you well enough.

I am afraid.

Don't be afraid Uncle. I am Ping'er.

Ping'er.

After Ping'er grows up, he'll definitely be more skilled than I am. Then I can count on him to protect me.

- Don't let the child fall. - He is quite strong.

Who is Ping'er?

- How long has it been?! - How long has it been since you took the medicine? Have you regained your memory?

Brother. Brother.

Sister-in-Law. Where is Sister-in-Law?

Brother.

Your brother wants you to eat properly.

Get some good rest.

And the bad guy? What about the bad guy?

Don't worry. Brother will help you take care of him.

Brother!

Are you okay?

I urged Mo Lin to hurry, but we were still late.

Why are you blaming me again? I almost broke my legs from all the running.

I am okay. It's just that I found out some information.

Why are two you here?

We were in Wuyou Valley and accidentally learned from my father that

the pneuma confinement on you was created by your parents and my father.

And your parents lost most of their cultivation because of it.

I thought it was strange. So I wanted to tell you immediately.

Lost most of their cultivation…

Don't kill me.

Boss, who is he?

I have to go take care of something. Take care of Old White.

Don't kill me. Don't kill me.

Lu Ping, I have something to tell you.

You can't stay at Wuji Manor. Take Su Tang, Mo Lin, and Lu Chengfeng back to Big Dipper.

I will ask Wen Rui to cover you.

Yan Qiuci wanted to kill us yesterday to keep us quiet.

You're surrendering to him today?

I didn't surrender. We need Wuji Manor to eliminate the Mountain and Sea Gang.

I understand.

It is for the bigger picture.

The Mountain and Sea Gang killed Qin Qi.

Are you willing to let them go?

If for the bigger picture we can't tell right from wrong anymore,

then what are we protecting?

- Lu Ping. - Qin Sang.

I'm not like you.

I can clearly tell right from wrong. Please go back.

Lu Ping, Yan Qiuci is Xifan's father.

If you kill him, will it bring back your parents?

Aren't you afraid that the gang will be more rampant if you kill him?

I am a nobody. I can't think about that much.

And I don't have the energy to think about it. If you block me again—

Then what?

Are you okay?

You've been poisoned. The poison has already started to attack your heart.

Don't tell anyone.

Let's talk at midnight in the manor. Uncle Yan.

- Young Master, you mean… - Do you need me to say it again?

Tonight all the disciples will return to their rooms. Don't light the lanterns. Don't go out.

Anyone who disobeys will be dispelled from the manor. Understand?

But Master ordered that…

He ordered that everyone listens to my orders.

Yes, Sir.

What are you planning to do?

Ziyan, get some sleep.

When you wake up, everything will have been taken care of.

[Wuji Manor]

[Wuji Manor]

Are you here to stop me?

I just wanted to see if I could persuade you

to give my father another chance.

When you were in Zhaifeng, did you ever succeed?

I know that you never give up once you've made up your mind.

I'm the one that has to be accommodating.

I'm sorry.

As the son of my parents, I have to hold someone accountable.

Lu Ping, Father is waiting for you inside.

Later on, I'll need your help with the battle against the Mountain and Sea Gang.

[Wuji]

You've come.

Uncle Yan, there's something I want to ask you.

Are you the one who killed my parents?

Yes.

Did you attack me and Qin Sang, and imprison us in the water prison?

Yes.

Back then the death of your parents was indeed my fault.

I'm waiting for you here today, to confess my mistakes.

If you wanted to make up for your mistakes,

why did you want to kill me and Uncle Lu?

The more I wanted to cover up the matter, the deeper I got.

I did it involuntarily.

But now that I've got the Thousand Pine Ruler,

I believe that you will be able to bring an end to the disaster caused by the Mountain and Sea Gang.

Today, I promise to accept three of your moves.

Whether I live or die, I'll leave it up to fate. After three moves, I hope you will forget the hatred.

And cooperate with Wuji Manor against Liu Song.

My father's Horn is very powerful.

I can use five forces now.

You look down upon me too much.

I hope that you won't blame Xifan.

Okay. I promise you.

Today's old and new hatred,

I will clear today.

Do you think I will let you go if you don't fight back?

No, something's wrong. What's going on?

Why doesn't he fight back?
