[Opening OST: "Young Warriors"] [By Wang Sulong — Lyrics by Wang Sulong and Zuo Muxiu]

♫ 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 39]

Go. Tell your master that I want to see him.

Master, this person has evil intentions. I'm afraid—

I want to talk to Chu Min. Leave us.

Yes.

Back then, at Big Dipper, this wine

was also our favorite.

Back then, Guo Youdao and I went down the mountain to train.

I received the news at the critical moment of when I was breaking through the five Pneumas.

By the time I rushed back, it was too late.

I thought you were dead.

I was so sad that I dropped from five Pneumas to three Pneumas.

I was no longer the talented senior.

Guo Youdao was afraid that I would recall sad memories while seeing familiar sights so he sent me to Shining Sky.

I don't remember the days... after that.

I seem to have gotten drunk every day. I haven't been sober since.

If you'll feel better when you're drunk,

then continue to stay here at the Mountain and Sea Gang and get drunk.

I was drunk so I could dream about being back at Big Dipper.

Little Six,

don't you also want to go back to Big Dipper?

Little Six,

when I was drunk, I wished countless times that you weren't dead.

Back then, the words you didn't finish saying to me before I went down the mountain,

I'll say them to you.

Can we go back to the past together?

Stay at the Mountain and Sea Gang.

Accompany me to see the end of His Majesty. I will treat you well.

Guo Youdao was right.

We've been apart for too long,

so long that no one can turn back.

I've been drunk for 19 years.

I have to wake up now.

Master, I have some words to share with you before I die.

I don't want to call you "Master" all my life.

Actually, I want to…

I want…

Master, you've escaped.

Move.

- Su Tang, I haven't finished my words. - You won't die this easily.

Save your words for later. Take this.

Take the Thousand Pine Ruler, steal a carriage, and wait for me.

- But my brother, he— - I will personally go and save him.

Let's go.

Master!

Brother! Brother, are you okay?

Master, don't cry right now. We have more important things to take care of.

Yan Jin has already left to escort on the Dan State mission. If we want to leave, we have to leave now.

Come on.

Master, hurry. Hurry.

Guo Youdao and I let you down.

We could have found the truth out earlier,

but we didn't want to and dared not to

until the misunderstandings got deeper and deeper, which led to the consequences of today.

Master Chu Min, they found out our whereabouts!

Master, let's talk about this later.

In the plays I've seen, usually, only a great hero says stuff like this before they die. Hurry and get in the carriage.

I can only accompany you to here.

Where should I go?

Go to Carefree Valley. You can find the truth there.

Chu Min, how dare you assassinate the master?! I will kill you!

Master, you can't deal with them alone.

Master!

Master!

Go!

I am lucky to see Chu Min,

the master of Yaoguang Peak,

regain the five Pneumas.

Five Pneumas?

When she left Big Dipper that day, didn't she drop from four Pneumas to three?

I lost one Pneuma because I thought Liu Song was dead. I was haunted by demons.

Now that Liu Song is dead in my heart,

I am relieved of my demons.

I don't need the help of my disciples... to deal with you all.

Come on.

Mo Lin, go back and save the master. Hurry!

Brother, you'll be useless even if you go back right now. For the sake of Master, do not let anything happen to you.

Let go of me! Don't you want to save our master?

Don't worry. I am clever. I have left a code for Master along the road.

Once she escapes, she can definitely find us. Sit tight.

Stop!

- Stop! - The Mountain and Sea Gang have caught up to us! Sit tight!

Stop!

Don't run!

Stop!

Brother, are you all right?

Brother, our senior brother is here to save us.

Senior Brother.

Why are you here?

I go wherever you go.

Xifan joined the imperial court and is bowing down to His Majesty

just so he could bring an army to save me.

He was afraid you would feel bad if you saw him so he didn't dare come see you directly.

He chose... to be stationed out with the Mountain and Sea Gang in order to cover for you.

Actually, I think Senior Brother acted very righteously this time.

His father is his father. He is he.

You shouldn't blame him for what happened back then.

Brother, Senior Brother said that

if you still want to see him, he'll meet up with us here.

If you don't want to see him, you can just leave.

It's up to you.

Master, what does he mean by this? Does he want to stay or leave?

Silly, can't you see that? There's a chance.

Didn't I tell you to stay in the manor and to not take a risk?

I am not a weak lady who can only stay at home. I also know martial arts.

Whether you're with the imperial court or the pugilist world, I want to stand by your side.

Are you still... going to find Lu Ping?

Will he be willing to go back to Kaifeng with you?

If you keep something in your heart for a long time, it will become a knot in your heart that is impossible to undo.

It's better for us to face it now than to be strangers later.

As for Lu Ping, he can decide where to go himself.

Reporting. Young Hero Yan. General Wen.

The troops we sent to track the Dan State mission hasn't reported back. I'm afraid something has happened.

General Wen, in order to avoid any problems, stay here with a few people.

Do not act rashly. I will go and take a look.

Young Hero, be careful.

I will go with you.

How did they die?

The wounds of the Agile Dragon Army and those on the mission are very similar.

They were killed by the same person.

The box is empty. What exactly were they carrying?

This person could actually use all five Pneumas.

Fortunately his Pneumas... were extremely unstable.

He is the master of the Phoenix Ridge Gang.

He was only able to use three Pneumas before. How is he able to use all five Pneumas in such a short period of time?

Xifan, what should we do now?

Are we going to meet up with Lu Ping?

Dan State is not necessarily stronger in terms of military power when compared to Shuo State.

Even though the Mountain and Sea Gang is working with them, they are still a part of the pugilist world.

Even if they catch Lu Ping, they will just have one more Awakener.

Can they conquer the army and change the situation

with just one man?

This seems to be the reason why they're doing all they can to get Lu Ping back.

If he found out, he would definitely feel extremely guilty, more and more as time goes on.

It's about the fate of Shuo State. We have to hurry back to Kaifeng.

Brother!

In the end, he dares not to come and meet me.

Master, maybe Senior Brother was delayed by something.

His injury is quite serious right now. Let's head to Carefree Valley first.

Then, what about Senior Brother?

I... gave a map to Senior Brother a while ago.

Let's go.

You used the Breath of Spirit on me.

You were really cruel when you made up your mind,

but I was betrayed once before. That won't happen again.

Master, Lu Ping and Yan Xifan are gone.

Everything is going according to your plan.

You let me steal the Thousand Pine Ruler and have Lu Ping escape.

It turns out it was all a part of your plan.

How far do you think Lu Ping can escape?

I will definitely get his Power of Awakening.

I'll make sure he'll never be at ease no matter where he goes.

Stop.

Boss, why are we stopping suddenly? Our destination is just up ahead.

I want to take a walk.

Master, he didn't seem to talk much along the way.

He's not still thinking about that, is he?

I am not a good master.

I don't know the answers

to some of your questions.

I know the answers to some of them,

but I dare not get into them.

The Zhai thief destroyed my country and disgraced my sect. This hatred must be avenged.

If Big Dipper is going to be used by the Zhai thief, then this sect is no longer for me.

Brother, stop thinking about it.

When Master Mo unlocks your Pneuma Lock, it'll all be over.

Will it really be over?

Do you think Guo Youdao and Chu Min never noticed?

They were cheating you in order to protect Yan Qiuci.

You and I are the same.

Master, the sixth lock on him seems to be breaking.

Brother!

If you want him to live, hurry up and get him into the valley.

Isn't it a good thing to unlock the Pneuma Lock? Why does he look like he's going to die?

Brother, don't think too much about the past.

The enemy killed my family. How can I not think about it?

Your parents begged me back then to place these Pneuma Locks on you

just so you could live a good life.

They didn't want you focusing on hatred and dying from taking revenge.

What do you mean, Master Mo?

Back then, your parents saved me once.

I owed them for that

so I made them a promise

that I'd pay them back in my lifetime.

One day,

they came to Carefree Valley with a baby.

That was you who was dying.

Why was he dying?

Ordinary people can't bear the power of the six Pneumas.

You gained one Pneuma every month.

Your whole body would burst and you would die when you gained all six Pneumas.

I used the Pneuma Locks to block the six Pneumas.

Only in this way could you survive.

So you're saying that these locks were placed on me in order to save my life?

It's not easy to place the locks.

In order to save you, they spent their skills that took their lifetime to cultivate.

As for you, you only want to undo the locks.

Father, if Boss didn't untie the locks, he wouldn't have lived until today.

I don't care about your past messes.

Right now, you've unlocked five Pneumas.

The only one left is extremely fragile.

Once your body and mind are unstable, the power of the Pneumas will overrun, and the lock will shatter.

At that time, you will definitely die.

Master, is there a way to undo the lock and save my brother's life?

No.

Am I doomed to die?

The Awakening has supreme force. He is powerful and domineering.

It's a good thing you left the last Pneuma Lock. You should be fine.

For the sake of your parents, Carefree Valley can protect you.

That's all I want to say.

You can decide whether you want to live or to die yourself.

Mo Lin, does your father dislike my brother and is purposely not treating him?

He doesn't like any strangers,

but he wouldn't leave people to die. He is acting weird this time around.

Small tricks!

You've been an assassin for many years, and you've only learned these skills?

Liar. What you've learned all these years isn't much better than me.

When did I lie? When did I become a liar?

Observation is the basic quality of top assassins.

If you encounter a disease that you can't cure, you will only study hard to find a solution.

You wouldn't say no to it. Why did you lie?

I…

Father, you have a solution. Right? Can't you help Lu Ping?

I can't undo it. Why do you care so much?

Can you not undo it or are you afraid of getting into trouble with the Mountain and Sea Gang?

You…

Father, do you know why for so many years, I would rather be an assassin in the pugilist world

than to stay in Carefree Valley?

It's because I don't want to see you like this. You have had such great medical skills since I was young,

yet you never want to go out of the valley to cure others. You'd rather stay here in this valley and make medicine.

You're afraid of getting into trouble. Don't you want to be a hero or do something big in your lifetime?

What do you know? I told you to leave it alone so leave it alone.

You and Lu Ping just stay in Carefree Valley. Don't mess with that Mountain and Sea Gang.

If anything happens to him again. I really can't save him! Understand?

I wouldn't stay here if it wasn't for saving Lu Ping this time around.

I am destined to be a hero unlike you, a coward.

Yes.

My son wants to be a hero, but I am a coward.

The old man is feeling uneasy and won't help undo Lu Ping's lock either.

In this case, how can I tell him that Qin Sang has been poisoned with cold toxin?

If the boss rushes out of the valley and something happens,

Su Tang will definitely beat me to death.

Why would I beat you?

Master, I am just here to entertain you.

You can beat me whenever you want. Don't worry about me. Oh right! How is the boss doing?

I asked him to get some rest, but he is still feeling restless.

How about I write to Miss Qin and ask her to come here to accompany Lu Ping?

Master, don't.

Mo Lin, what exactly are you hiding?

Don't think that just because this is your home I dare not beat you.

Master, here is the thing. I have a friend who is very sick,

but she doesn't want to be a burden to others so she asked me to hide the secret.

If you were me, would you agree?

Aren't your friends just us? Who is sick?

Mo Lin, are you hiding something from me?

By the way, Master, you haven't answered me yet. I asked before if you would be my wife.

Didn't you say you'd answer me after we rescued the boss? Now, it's time for you to live up to your promise.

I… Let's wait until my brother undoes the Pneuma Lock before discussing this.

Master, you are someone's master. You should keep your word.

It's late. I have to go back and take care of my brother.

Master, take care of the boss.

I will figure out everything else.

Don't forget. I am not only your disciple but also a man of his word.

Young Master, these are the best medicines in the valley to treat cold toxin.

It's still not enough. Go and get more around the area; the more, the better.

When the time comes, even if I can't cure the cold toxin, it'll be good to buy some time for her.

When Lu Ping undoes his lock, at that time,

how can we not find a way to cure the cold toxin?

Who exactly has the cold toxin? Young Master, what are you talking about?

Why are we talking like this?! No one is here! We—

Just in case.

You can't tell anyone about this, including my father.

If you dare to say a word, I will poison you and make you mute right now.

I will do whatever you ask me to do.

You're good. You're much better than my two brothers.

They are not obedient at all. What would they do without me?

Yes. What would they do?

That Liu Song!

Your Majesty, calm down. They are just using evil means.

Your Majesty has the power of the dragons. There's no need to fear.

When two armies battle on the battlefield, does that depend on the power of the dragons?

It depends on the soldiers and weapons.

Using five Pneumas is the strength of an expert like Yan Qiuci.

If these experts gather to form an army,

ordinary soldiers won't be able to stop them.

Your Majesty,

in my opinion, it's not a bad thing that General Wen has discovered the secret of the Mountain and Sea Gang.

Lu Ping is now under our control.

Why not treat them how we're being treated?

Lu Ping is the Awakener who can use six Pneumas.

With his help, we don't need to fear the Mountain and Sea Gang.

It's an emergency. I hope Your Majesty will make a decision.

Lu Ping must not fall into the hands of others.

Give my orders to Wen Rui and Yan Xifan.

They must bring Lu Ping to me.

Don't let him fall into the hands of the Mountain and Sea Gang.

I will obey your order.

Xifan, I've asked the military physicians to do their best, but the master of the Phoenix Ridge Gang had already stopped breathing.

Xifan, don't be like this. You've done your best.

In order to create Pneuma Soul Eaters, the Mountain and Sea Gang disregards everyone elses lives.

If they succeed, Dan State will take this opportunity to invade the south.

Who knows how many civilians will suffer.

You can't deal with them all by yourself.

You should ask Lu Ping for help.

He has been tormented for so many years. Right now, he can relax at Carefree Valley.

Ziyan, let him live his life in peace.

General Wen, do we need to leave now?

Young Hero Yan, there is an edict from His Majesty,

ordering you to go to Carefree Valley and to bring Lu Ping back with you.

His Majesty wants to deal with the Pneuma Soul Eaters?

He can just get the Agile Dragon Army back to train. What does he want with Lu Ping?

Soldiers only need to listen to orders. They do not need to ask questions.

His Majesty knows that Lu Ping doesn't want to be an official. He usually wouldn't bother him.

Is His Majesty going to follow the Xi Sui of the Mountain and Sea Gang?

His Majesty also said Wuji Manor deceived the emperor.

According to the law, your whole family should have been beheaded, but His Majesty was merciful.

He saw that you were young and talented so he didn't hold your family accountable.

You better not act on impulse and disappoint His Majesty.

Is His Majesty going to use Wuji Manor as a hostage?

Xifan, I beg you.

That day, we all witnessed the power of the master of Phoenix Ridge Gang.

If we don't do something, when the brothers of Agile Dragon Army are in battle one day,

we will only be slaughtered. They are also human.

They are brothers who had accompanied you to the Mountain and Sea Gang to save Lu Ping.

Can you bear watching them die?

I will obey the order.

Miss Ling, please wait.

His Majesty has a second secret edict. It is for you.

Xifan, are you really going to Carefree Valley to bring Lu Ping back?

Mo Lin was afraid we would get separated that day outside of the Mountain and Sea Gang so he gave me a map.

If Liu Song really uses Lu Ping to create the Pneuma Soul Eaters who can use six Pneumas,

the situation will be even more difficult to deal with. I can only bring Lu Ping back to Kaifeng first.

Then try my best to persuade His Majesty.

But Lu Ping has a deep blood feud with His Majesty. What if he won't come back with you?

Will you go against the edict for his sake?

I can only try my best to balance both.

Take a rest. I am going to check on the horses.

Lu Ping must not fall into the hands of the Mountain and Sea Gang. You must bring him back.

If he resists, get rid of him.

If Yan Xifan is soft with Lu Ping, you can help him finish the task.

Otherwise, I won't spare Yan Xifan's life.

Xifan, I definitely won't let you commit the crime of betraying the emperor.

I can only hope this will be resolved smoothly.

Master Mo, why did you bring me here? To enjoy the flowers?

You can recuperate at Carefree Valley,

but you can't eat and drink for free. You have to work.

Water and plant the flowers.

I remember when I was young, there was a flower field in my hometown,

which was different from the scenery of Kaifeng.

Once I undo the Pneuma Lock, I will go back to my hometown and plant flowers.

I will invite you to go with me then. How about it?

The countryside? What's so good about it?

Never mind then.

Brother, did you think of something?

Open your mouth.

I took it from Master Mo. Is it sweet?

Su Tang, did you realize?

Here, I have you, flowers,

and the life I wanted when I was young. All of it is here in front of me.

Brother.

I have thought things through.

Instead of being used by Liu Song, it's better to be locked.

If I stay here in this isolated Carefree Valley,

I can let everyone live in peace.

I can also live longer.

Why don't I stay then?

I have never

lived a peaceful life before.

Brother, then what about Miss Qin?

Won't you look for her?
