Once upon a Time in LingJian Mountain

Episode 9

No need to rush.

We’re all peers.

You should at least

say hi.

Besides,

Miss Yue is waiting for you inside.

It’ll only take a few minutes.

You have nothing to lose.

Miss Yue Xinyao

seldom puts on makeup.

Is there something at front?

Nothing.

Nothing at all.

Let’s go.

The girls are waiting.

You may come out.

Ladies, hurry up.

Zhu Qin can’t wait to see you.

Someone was hitting on me in my dream.

It’s still early.

We were still sleeping.

Good morning.

What...

What time is it?

It’s almost 7.

Look at his abdomen,

his arms,

his chest.

Wang Zhong, look,

you see this?

And this back of yours!

- Hey, hey. - So muscular.

Stop.

- I’m sorry. - Don't do this.

Oh,

look,

Zhu Qin and his teammates

came to bid you farewell.

They came so early to find the Flaming Fruit.

What spirit!

Aren’t you ashamed of yourself?

What...

What are you doing?

How long will this take?

Sorry. I apologize.

You may leave. Please.

You... Unbelievable!

Nice makeup though!

Good day.

Invisible Charm!

Hai.

Wang Zhong.

Morning.

Hai.

What are you doing here?

I came

to evacuate.

Here?

I’m a gentleman

and a bit shy.

I can’t relieve myself

if others are within a 50-meter radius.

We’re hundreds of meters away from the base.

Stop lying.

I can explain.

According to my divination,

this spot is the best for evacuation.

If I do it here,

I’ll be safe during the test.

Is that wrong?

Oh, I see.

I should do it, too.

Hold on,

wait.

Here’s the thing,

according to

your date of birth and horoscope,

your element is

earth.

If you do your business here,

you’ll be constipated and struck by bad luck.

If you don’t mind,

I can find another spot that suits you.

What do you think?

Hai,

since you were with Wang Lu,

you've become an expert of lying.

Tell me,

why Wang Lu tried so hard

to keep us from here?

What’s in this place?

Here?

There are tons of things.

The vast forest,

countless Magic Grass,

stones in different shapes, the flowing stream,

and many...

That’s enough.

Have you found the Flaming Fruit?

Wang Zhong,

if there is such fruit,

are you trying to find and hog it

behind Zhu Qin’s back?

I...

He didn’t do it behind my back.

We’re on the same team.

We share weal and woe together.

Zhu Qin,

he’s been acting weird since the beginning.

I believe the Flaming Fruit is over there.

Really?

Wang Zhong,

after two years of practice,

you can handle an outer disciple alone,

can you?

Leave it to me.

You two gang up on him!

Shame on you!

Ignore him.

Go!

Help!

Stop!

What’s happening?

Why are you fighting against each other?

Here’s the thing.

I found Wang Zhong and Zhu Qin plotting something,

so they tried to silence us.

Wang Lu,

stop lying.

You accused...

What the heck?

You and Hai Yunfan are the ones at fault.

Speak!

Where’s the Flaming Fruit?

Flaming Fruit?

Wang Lu,

you found it?

Of course not.

This is only the first day.

How could I find it so soon?

I didn’t see anything.

I bet it's right here.

You two hid it.

What if it’s not here?

If not,

we’ll give you a 4-hour head start.

If it is here...

If so...

I...

Look, the Flaming Fruit.

Let’s move.

Everyone,

array.

Hey,

Wang Lu saw it first.

Are you trying to steal it?

Calm down.

Master Liu said

the team that acquires the Fruit first will win,

but brawl isn’t allowed.

What should we do?

We can’t let them have it.

Like you could get it.

Let’s have a try

and see who can get it.

OK.

Step down.

I suggest

we both leave

and find new ones.

See who can find it first.

No way.

Once we leave,

Wang Lu will come back to steal it.

Wang Zhong,

you know me...

so well.

Enough. Stop arguing.

I have an idea. To be fair,

I propose combat.

A crossover match.

Fight till the last man standing.

The winner

can pick up the Flaming Fruit.

Agreed?

Sure.

I guess

this is the best way.

Everyone,

who wants to go first?

Let me.

If I can handle them all,

you won't need to do anything.

You’re smart and skilled.

I have faith in you.

You can do it!

Wang Zhong,

I’m the captain.

I’ll go first.

I can beat them all.

No problem.

Sorry, my bad.

Miss Yue,

shall we?

What's happening?

I’m sorry.

I shouldn’t have picked up the Fruit.

Anyone here?

Help!

Somebody help!

Help!

Help me!

Wang Zhong?

Is it you, Wang Zhong?

Yue Yun,

I’m so sorry.

I shouldn’t have touched the Flaming Fruit.

I was wrong.

Please,

forgive me.

Calm down.

I didn’t do this.

Suddenly,

the darkness fell.

Others all disappeared.

Did they encounter powerful demons?

I’m scared.

Yue...Yue Yun,

where’s your Summoning Charm?

Can you call Master here?

It’s gone!

And this back of yours!

Hey, hey, stop.

My bad.

- I’m sorry. - Don't do this.

Look again.

Yue Yun!

Wang Lu!

Who can help me?

Why did you hit me?

Wen Bao?

I’m sorry, my bad.

Does it hurt?

I’m fine.

It’s OK.

I’m here.

Don't be afraid.

I won’t let

demons harm you.

Thank you, Wen Bao.

Let’s go find others.

OK.

You’re the boss.

So,

where should we go?

Well...

It’s pitch dark.

I can’t see anything.

We should stay here

and wait for others to find us.

Alright.

You call the shot.

Thank you, Wen Bao.

I’m glad you’re here.

Six Lights Prison?

You’re also from Junhuang Mountain.

You people have been trying to kill me.

Don’t you even know who your target is?

We only follow orders.

Whoever on the Red Order

must die.

Red Order?

I know

Hai Tiankuo sent you to kill me.

He must've told you

I’m his enemy.

But the truth is,

he slaughtered my whole family

and appointed himself general.

So

you are...

I’m General Hai Zheng’s son

Hai Yunfan.

Your Highness.

Your Highness,

you had to flush me out?

Master Xu!

No wonder I was sent here

by Teleporting.

Master Xu,

you watched me growing up.

My father and I

trust you the most.

How could you...

How could you believe that traitor?

My loyalty to Junhuang Mountain is beyond doubt.

I used to look after you for Junhuang Mountain.

Now, I’m hunting you down

for the same reason.

I’m sorry.

Your Highness,

farewell.

Stop.

You can’t touch him without my approval.

How did you find him?

Twin Flowers.

One can sense

where the other is.

I knew you’d come.

Zhu Qin waving the sword

is your signal to act, right?

You can’t help him.

You think

you can stop me?

Wang Lu,

he’s highly skilled.

He can kill us in a breeze.

We aren’t his match,

but my master is.

I’m here on a secret mission

to steal something.

Now, I’m in trouble.

My master will sure help me.

Don’t you move.

She’s on her way.

She’ll kill you.

Master.

Wang Lu,

good job.

You found the Red Fruit so soon.

Where is it?

He’s not

the Red Fruit.

Who are you?

Who’s your master? Such an eyesore!

Where are your manners?

Kneel!

Where did you find him?

He’s at least in the stage of Gold.

What are you?

A rhino demon or a boar?

Doesn’t look like one.

Well...

He has a square face and body.

I get it.

He’s SpongeBob.

The adult version!

You're good, Wang Lu!

You came across

an elite so easily!

Master, are you blind?

He’s not a demon.

Then what is he?

I can’t tell.

He’s an assassin, of course.

Assassin?

I told you to call me once you found the Fruit

not the assassin!

I found it.

It’s not my fault that he’s here.

Am I invisible to you?

Be quiet!

Go die!

How did you find him?

Stage of Nascent Soul!

Nascent Soul?

If my memory serves me correctly,

Master Wang Wu is at the Stage of Gold.

Crap!

Gold versus Nascent Soul!

Did I throw her under the bus?

Am I in trouble?

We’ll all be doomed.

Master Wang,

he’s crucial to us.

If you stop now,

you’ll be rewarded handsomely.

Really?

How handsome?

Are you serious?

If you give up,

I’ll give you

5,000 Magic Stones.

5,000?

You’re only worth that little?

It seems we've had a deal.

Not gonna happen.

5,000 stones are peanuts.

Here’s my price.

10 billion.

See that? I’m a billion-stone man.

Are you messing with me?

Is there anyone else here?

Fine.

Since you won’t back down,

don’t blame me for being cruel.

Xu Jingtian,

aren’t you afraid that Junhuang Mountain

and Lingjian Sect will be in war?

Once you all die,

nobody will blame Junhuang Mountain for it.

Xu Jingtian,

aren’t you afraid that Junhuang Mountain

and Lingjian Sect will be in war?

Once you all die,

nobody will blame Junhuang Mountain for it.

Master,

Qingyun Peak is rich with treasures.

Things hardly seen outside

are everywhere here.

It’s good for picking up girls

and leaving messages.

Hua Yun,

you lost.

You have an eagle eye.

I admire you.

Stop flattering me.

I’m only practicing

this boring stuff with you

out of pity.

We’re here to help Lu Li.

Wang Wu defeated him a few days ago,

and he lost all his savings.

Yikes!

That’s why Hua Yun came up with

a sneaky trick

to defeat Wang Wu

by the skill of swapping.

Don’t sugar coat it.

You want to learn to cheat, don't you?

You should know,

in terms of cheating,

Wang Wu

has a knack for it.

Even if you practiced 100 years,

you wouldn’t be her match.

The only way

to stop losing

is to ask Leader to make a rule

that no gambling is allowed

in our sect.

Gambling must stop,

but

not before I get my money back.

Stop daydreaming!

Xu Jingtian,

aren’t you afraid that Junhuang Mountain

and Lingjian Sect will be in war?

Once you all die,

nobody will blame Junhuang Mountain for it.

Xu Jingtian of Junhuang is stirring up trouble.

Aren’t Liu Xian and Hua Yun on duty today?

You may need to handle it.

A loser like Xu Jingtian

isn’t worth the effort.

Isn’t Wang Wu at Qingyun?

What?

She’s there?

Yeah.

I need to do something.

Hua Yun, come with me.

Wang Wu can handle Xu Jingtian

effortlessly.

She doesn’t need our help.

Xu Jingtian isn’t my concern.

My target is Wang Wu.

Think about the Magic Fruit in Qingyun.

Let’s go.

Wang Lu,

you little punk! You tricked me!

Run, Hai!

General,

what brings you here?

Hai Tiankuo?

Master Xu,

you were supposed to hold the fort.

Why are you here?

General,

it's my fault.

But Hai Yunfan

is a threat to you

and Junhuang Mountain.

He must be eliminated.

What’s the punishment

for unauthorized leave?

Those leaving without permission

shall be executed.

You made the mistake

so you shall be punished.

General,

I did all this for you.

General!

General!

General!

Rules are the rules.

As his followers,

you shall be punished the same way.

Master,

he didn’t

even give you a glance.

Neither did he glance at you.

Relax,

he’s not invincible.

There are ways to defeat him.

I’ll teach you Falling Tiger our ancestors created.

You mean to jump and fall on the ground

and say,

“I’m sorry, sir”, right?

You created it.

Don't pin it on the ancestors.

Anyway,

when you see him again,

run as fast as you can.

Hai.

is he your enemy?

That’s...

He’s gone, master.

Let's go.

Hai Tiankuo!

Hai Tiankuo.

Why didn’t you kill me?

Why did you keep me alive?

If you don’t kill me today,

I swear

I’ll slaughter you myself!

By your soft skills?

I thought you’d improve after 2 years of practice

in Lingjian Sect.

I have to say

I’m disappointed.

You think I won't kill you?

I dare you!

I don't care about Hai Yunfan’s background,

but now, he’s a member of our sect.

You hurt him,

so you have to pay the price.

Are you going to

seek revenge for him?

Deadly Sickle!

Hai,

slowly. Are you OK?

How do you feel?

Three-talent Formation.

Alright.

I’ll cut him some slack.

As for you,

give you

10,000 more years,

you can’t hurt me at all.

Dear brother,

keep wasting your time here.

Where do you think you're going?

Wang Wu!

- Hai Tiankuo. - Hai.

Hai.

Hai.

Hai.

Master Xu of Junhuang died in Qingyun.

Hai Yunfan severely injured.

What happened out there?

Hai Tiankuo showed up

out of the blue.

When Hua Yun and I arrived,

Xu Jingtian was already dead.

Who knows what happened before?

Master Fang,

we were blinded by the black fog.

Someone attacked us

and knocked us out.

By the time I woke up, I was already here.

I don’t know

what happened in between.

Me...me neither.

Wang Lu,

you also saw nothing?

Yeah.

I was unconscious.

Liar!

Don’t think I don’t know

about your trick.

My...my trick?

How come Yue Yun’s Summoning Charm

was in your hand?

Back then, I was...

You meant to kill two birds

with one stone, didn’t you?

Acquire the Red Fruit

and use the Summoning Charm to call Wang Wu

to save Hai Yunfan.

And what happened?

Hadn’t the other masters arrived,

heaven knows what bigger

disasters would've happened

You think we don’t know

men from Junhuang

were lurking around our sect?

We didn’t take any actions

to lure the mastermind out.

Hai Yunfan almost died

because of your recklessness.

This test isn’t a game.

A minor error could lead to annihilation.

Enough.

Wang Lu has realized his mistake.

Master Fang said all that

to tell you

since you’ve joined our sect,

we’ll make sure of your safety.

Lingjian Sect is your second home.

I’m not only saying this to Wang Lu,

but also to the rest of you.

Now that

we’ve learned what happened,

they can

go back and rest.

Hold on.

Zhu Qin,

do you have anything to say?

I...

I’m only here for 2 years.

I don’t know anything.

Can you explain

why men of Junhuang were here?

I’m sorry, Leader.

I was tempted by them,

but Xu Jingtian

threatened me with my parents’ lives.

If I didn’t help him.

he’d kill them.

I had no choice.

Leader,

I made a mistake,

please give me another chance.

Fang He,

what’s the punishment

for betrayal

and harming peers?

According to our law,

he shall be expelled.

Do it.

Leader!

Leader!

I apologize.

I’m really sorry.

For the sake of Ming,

for the...

for the sake of my master...

Master,

say something, please.

Leader,

Zhu Qin didn’t think straight.

He’s realized his mistake.

Why don’t you give him a second chance?

There are other punishments.

Oh.

You’re speaking for him.

He’s a filial son.

His parents’ lives were on the line.

If I were him,

I’d probably do the same.

He made a wrong choice,

but that’s understandable.

Our sect is

trying to establish

an image of inclusiveness.

He can be a perfect example.

Give him light punishments

and let him stay

so that others will all know

how tolerant we are.

Well said!

Leader,

Zhu Qin was misled by others

and made that mistake.

I agree with Wang Lu.

We should let him stay for now.

Punish him severely

and see if he can change.

Wang Lu,

what punishment should he receive?

What are you doing?

You...

Stop it!

Wang Lu should be expelled.

Zhu Qin,

given that this is your first offense,

I’ll remove all your magic. You shall start over.

We’re like a family,

so we should trust each other.

You aren’t alone on this path.

You should support and help each other.

Betrayal is a red line that can’t be crossed.

Hope you’ll all learn from his lesson.

So,

what do you think about Wang Lu?

What else?

He’s disobedient, useless,

and arrogant.

He is smart

but he can’t act wisely.

He’s bad news

and will cause us more trouble.

He’s still young.

Back in Qingyun,

he confronted Hai Tiankuo head on.

Just now in the Cloud Hall,

he spoke for Zhu Qin.

That shows he's kindhearted.

Liu Xian,

I know you value rules the most,

but virtue

is the core of our sect.

You’re right, Leader.

I’ll reflect on myself.

Everyone has their own path.

How do you feel

after battling

Hai Tiankuo?

He must’ve reached the Stage of Disassembling.

Leader,

you won't be intimidated by him

and hand Hai Yunfan over, right?

Do you know

the fundamental rule of our sect?

Praising virtue and punishing vice.

Protecting our own men.

Hai Yunfan is one of us,

so we won't kick him out.

I was thinking

his body isn’t injured the most

but his heart.

As his mentor,

you should talk to him more.

I will.

As for Junhuang Mountain,

they broke into our territory and injured our men.

I haven’t done anything to them yet.

I’m not afraid

of anyone.

Leader,

Wang Wu

is going after Hai Tiankuo alone.

Is she going to Junhuang Mountain?

She’s one of us.

Although she's quite a handful,

she’s never disappointed me

on matters of principle.

Cut it out.

I went to Qingyun today.

Thousands of Flaming Fruits, ginsengs

and hundreds of the finest reishi

have all been gone.

She didn’t leave to catch Hai Tiankuo

but to avoid us.

Heaven knows

when she will come back.

Give you

10,000 more years,

you can’t hurt me at all.

Dear brother,

keep wasting your time here.

Hai, I heard you're better now.

Goodness, that’s quick!

Playing hard to get?

You’re upset

and want me to cheer you up, right?

Behold!

Handmade goodies!

No response?

Cold Spring Liquor.

One cup to refresh the mind;

two to enjoy everlasting energy;

three to embrace immortality.

I stole it from my master’s

secret stash.

Have a sip.

Hai,

lack of communication leads to alienation.

What are you doing?

Hai,

wait, Hai.

Listen to me.

Hai.

Hai.

Hai.
