[English subtitles are available.]

Towards the end of the Ming Dynasty,

Zhuo Yihang, the Chief of Wudang Clan

and Lian Nishang, the Witch with White Hair

fell in love secretly.

Yet good and evil cannot coexist.

They couldn't escape from fate

and therefore parted in dismay.

Then a mysterious clan called Linghua arose suddenly.

It gathered all the cults at an unexpected speed

and started to besiege and annihilate the righteous.

It's said that the clan was led by Lian Nishang,

the Witch with White Hair

who went missing years ago.

The world of martial arts

was again awed by her name.

The Dragon Pavilion?

Hey dummy,

why hesitate?

This is it.

Go.

I am the Chief of the Shadow Clan,

Sanlang Zhao.

I'm the Deputy,

Wulang Zhao.

Never heard of it.

Let us in!

Dear swordsman,

my entire family

was murdered by the cult.

We came all the way here today,

hoping that the cult be eliminated.

Please, help us.

Wulang,

on your knees.

Kowtow to the swordsman.

Follow me.

Go.

Brother,

we are orphans.

We've got no family.

What orphans?

Only those who can endure whatever comes their way

can be seen as real heroes.

It's called being flexible.

You fool.

No wonder you're a blacksmith for life.

Dear all, the righteous clans

gather here today

with the aim to eliminate the Chief of the cult,

the White-haired Witch.

I respect you all

for coming here.

If any of you

could get rid of her,

then

the leader of the martial arts community...

Whoever

eliminates the witch tonight

should be the leader.

Who's there?

What's wrong?

Careful.

Something's wrong.

Go.

What are you doing?

Squat.

White-haired Witch,

Die!

Gosh!

Brother.

I...

Don't be scared.

The wise know when to succumb.

Now let's pledge loyalty

to the witch.

[The Witch with White Hair]

Yesterday,

you sent me this hairpin.

I'm afraid

I can't fix it.

There's a connection

between me and the pin.

May I ask

who is the owner?

Lian Nishang?

This hairpin

is my finest work.

I even hesitated a bit

when I sold it to Chief Zhuo

years ago.

Now,

you have it.

I suppose you and Chief Zhuo

are deep in love with each other.

Last night,

he was here.

Manager, could you please

show me the way to the Dragon Pavilion?

There's a gathering for martial artists.

Walk a mile towards the east.

Chief Zhuo?

You're Chief Zhuo!

The killer has got white hair

like yours.

It's not me.

If you could,

please avenge us.

Working for our cult

is a blessing you should be grateful for.

Sir,

this is a crime.

My entire family would be killed for it.

You are just making Pear Blossom Crossbows.

What crime is it?

Coward.

Please forgive me.

I...

I'll give you 15 more minutes.

Think about it.

Say no

and you'll end up like him.

Chief,

the blacksmith is dead,

but

the Hou siblings are still here.

Fifteen minutes later,

we should have the result.

Take the crossbow.

Someone's here.

Yes.

Go.

The North Bureau of suppression

says hello.

Officer, please.

Officer.

Officer, please.

Officer, please stop.

Chang An.

What?

It's fine now.

Secret service agents

never cover for criminals.

You know it well.

What do you mean?

The ones capable of making this crossbow are here.

Hou Dazhi is

one of them.

The other

is dead as well.

Whether Hou Dazhi committed treason

needs to be investigated.

We can't just convict him like this.

Brother Chang,

please remember this.

We are here

to kill the entire family

of the rebels who commit treason. Without exception.

I always thought

you are the most obedient one.

I am taking her away, no matter what.

Fine.

You two grew up together.

You don't have the heart to kill her.

I can understand that.

However,

I have to remind you.

If our leader

finds out about it,

I don't think you can stay alive.

If you insist on

disobeying his orders,

then

I will have to note down

everything you've said and done today.

Ruohan!

No!

Move on with your life.

Brother Chang,

we haven't completed the task.

Please behave yourself.

We're already troubled by rebels.

Now Linghua Clan is making Pear Blossom Crossbows.

I heard that

they've got a lot of money.

They've lured the public with great treasure.

Many cults have pleaded loyalty to them.

Seems that Lian Nishang

is making herself an emperor.

New tasks.

Chang An,

go to the Tian Shan Mountains and look for Lian Nishang.

You must arrest her and take her back.

Li Ronggang,

in the name of the North Bureau of Suppression,

gather all the righteous clans out there.

Wait for my order to besiege the cult.

Yes.

Zhuo Yihang.

Zhuo Yihang.

Have a look here.

Fine handicrafts.

Madam,

interested in anything?

Have a look.

Have you seen

any Japanese these days?

You've come to the right person.

I've seen some

living in that hotel.

Over there.

Thank you.

Welcome.

It's been a long day.

Let's rest here.

Manager?

Manager!

Anyone here?

Please be patient.

Coming.

We've gone such a long way.

My shoes are worn.

After you arrest Lian Nishang

and eliminate Linghua Clan,

you'll be awarded

enough money for a wife,

let alone shoes.

Just eat.

I've finished.

Good night.

Chang An,

move on with your life.

The witch has risen to the bait.

She's about to get here.

It's her.

Get her.

I didn't kill you at Huyang County

to lure you here.

Tell me.

Where's Zhuo Yihang?

Lian Nishang.

You've got the wrong person.

I'm not the Chief of Linghua Clan.

The King of Hell

will decide whether you are for us!

Soldiers cannot live without

armor or weapons.

Dear all,

you're all soldiers of my future kingdom.

This is

the pay you deserve.

May Chief live as long as Heaven exists.

Long live the Chief!

Long live the Chief!

I've told you

joining the cult is promising.

Just wait for your rewards.

Chief,

the representative from Japan is here.

Bastards! This is outrageous.

Why aren't you on your knees?

Hey chick,

come down and serve your master.

We samurais never kneel in front of women.

How come you rabble

see her as your leader?

Kneel.

Beg me

to take you as mine.

Let me show you how to rule the world.

Brother,

I'm scared.

Forget about the money.

Let's go.

Go.

No...

No risks, no wealth.

Don't...

Don't worry.

Just wait for a while.

Secret service agent,

Li Ronggang.

What

brought you here?

The Ming Dynasty is weakening.

We're already troubled by rebels.

The Nvzhen Tribe is also waiting to invade us.

I always adjust my actions according to times.

Therefore I'm here to pledge my loyalty to you.

Well said,

but what you said

is no guarantee.

I'm here to propose a plan,

so that

you can take down

the righteous clans.

We've got news about the witch.

I'll give you a chance then.

Tell us about

your plan.

Yesterday,

I received an order from my leader...

Brother,

what's going on?

You dummy.

Of course you've got no clue.

That agent is a traitor.

Now

let's inform the Imperial Courts

and the righteous clans

about this.

Maybe

we can be promoted to officers.

Let's go. Go.

Go.

Thank you, Chief.

Don't move.

I've locked your acupoints.

Stay still or you'll die.

What do you want?

Answer this.

Where is the White-haired Witch

the leader of the North Bureau of Suppression

asks you to find?

Right in front of me.

If I'm the witch,

you would have been dead.

If you are not her,

then go back with me to the Bureau

and clear things up.

Trying to set me up?

The Bureau acts according to the law.

You won't be wronged.

We are looking for the same person.

Let's go

and eliminate Linghua Clan.

You've set me free.

Why not release my inner force as well?

There's no need.

I need you

to get through the border.

As long as you cooperate,

I will not kill you.

Go.

The gas is poisonous.

Careful!

Behind you!

Behind you!

Watch out! Behind you!

Yihang.

Careful.

Yihang.

Yihang.

You alright?

Yihang.

Nishang.

Yihang.

Wake up.

Wake up.

Wake up.

Nishang, wake up.

Zhuo Yihang.

Zhuo Yihang.

Don't ever leave me,

alright?

Yihang.

Don't leave me.

Don't leave me.

Help me put it on.

(Spell) Yilimaza, haxikuka.

(Spell) Yilimaza, haxikuka.

Chief,

Lian Nishang and that secret service agent

have run away.

Damn it!

Please be calm.

I've sent someone to look for them

near the border.

We'll know where they are

in a day.

I'll give you one last chance.

Chief, congratulations.

The soul-killing poison is ready.

The day after tomorrow at noon is our best chance.

After we get rid of the righteous clans,

we can proceed

with your plan.

Do as arranged then.

Yes, Chief.

What?

What are you staring at?

Get changed.

We should go.

Go. Get in the town.

What's so funny?

It's kind of weird.

What?

You in men's clothes.

It's weird.

Shut up.

You do look good with white hair though.

Stare again

and I'll blind you.

Don't forget that

last night when I was treating your wounds,

I've already...

I've done nothing indecent.

[Yumen Pass]

Go.

Go.

You,

here.

Better than you in real life.

Stop.

Seen her?

Go.

Stop.

You,

here.

Go.

Stop.

Go.

You alright?

You.

Never mind.

Go.

Stop.

The secret service is on a mission.

My apology.

This way, please.

Thank you.

[Dragon Inn]

Wait.

The entire inn has been booked.

Please

go somewhere else.

Could you please do us a favor?

This is

the only inn around.

That's not my business.

I'm here to guard the door.

No one shall enter.

The secret service is on a mission.

Those who refuse to cooperate

shall face consequences.

Long time no see, Brother Chang.

Have you got Lian Nishang?

Not yet.

That's why I need to search the inn.

You've brought help.

A friend.

We've been investigating Linghua Clan.

I'm Wei Yang.

Nice to meet you.

This way, please.

Brother Chang,

I do envy you.

Look at what I've got.

Waiter,

prepare the best room

for my friends.

Alright.

Two rooms.

Sir,

we've only got one left.

I know

you don't like to share your room with others.

How about this?

Brother Wei

can stay in my room.

I happen to

be busy with my work.

I don't think I'll stay there tonight.

Thank you.

This way, please.

Here. Cheers!

Here!

Let me introduce him.

He's my junior at the secret service.

Chang An.

This is

Brother Wei Yang.

Nice to meet you.

We've heard a lot about you.

I'm the Chief of the Sect of Ten Thousand Swords,

Wan Lijiang.

I'm the Chief of the House of Stars and Clouds,

Dongfang Yigu.

I'm the Chief of the Clan of Lights,

Li Dan.

I'm the Chief of the Clan of Flames,

Ouyang Huo.

Very nice.

Brother Wei,

why not introduce yourself?

I'm just a wanderer.

I've got no title to introduce.

Brother Wei,

you're too humble.

If you are not a great martial artist,

how could you investigate

the Lian Nishang case

with Brother Chang?

Here.

I'll drink a toast to you.

Here.

Lian Nishang!

She's bloodthirsty and craves killing.

Should be eliminated for what she's done.

Chief,

do you have a score to settle with her?

Not really.

Everyone says she's evil.

Can she kill us all?

Aren't you afraid

you might be killed for talking behind someone's back?

Brother Wei,

are you

defending her?

Defend?

What's the point?

People will only believe what they're willing to believe.

Brother Wei,

say as you please.

We allow

different opinions here.

Fine then.

I'll tell you what I've heard.

I heard that

Lian Nishang

takes from the rich to help the weak and poor.

She deserves to be called a swordswoman.

Please don't be fooled by that.

She's caused great trouble to Wudang Clan.

This alone is enough for us to condemn her.

Please mind your tongue.

That witch

kept pestering the Wudang Chief, Zhuo Yihang.

What's it called?

It's shameless.

You're all Chiefs of big clans.

Do you always talk about others' private business like this?

Brother Chang,

you've been busy with your work so you haven't heard of it.

The story has got about

in our community.

Right.

My master

once told me

years ago

Lian Nishang

drugged Zhuo Yihang

and climbed onto his bed

with a sheer gown.

Who does she think Chief Zhuo is?

He was not impressed at all.

It made

the witch really angry.

Let go.

White-hair Witches are here.

Dear swordsmen.

Here.

Her waist is so bendy.

Not just bendy.

Narrow as well.

Let go.

Swordsman,

let's have a drink together.

Seems you and

Zhuo Yihang are alike.

You're both fools who can resist temptation.

You reject women who throw themselves at you.

Pretentious prick.

Brother Wei,

stop running your energy.

Let me see.

Brother Chang,

what does this mean?

He's injured.

Please pardon us for leaving now.

Don't mind them. Let's continue.

Here.

Here.

I need to get the poison out

and clean my wounds.

If you stare,

I will gouge your eyes out.

Someone's coming.

Brother Chang,

sorry

about that.

I'm really sorry.

I don't mean to offend you.

Never mind.

What's wrong?

Brother Chang,

I'm here to see

if Brother Wei is alright.

Brother Chang,

isn't he

here?

He went down to the bathroom.

Sorry, Brother Li.

My stomach isn't doing great.

What?

She's with me.

I'm really sorry.

Don't you have manners?

We are taking a bath

together.

How long do you want to stay here?

Didn't know

Brother Chang likes his woman in man's clothes.

It's not safe near the border.

It's better she dresses like that.

May I help you with anything else?

Sorry for bothering you two.

Brother Chang

is at his prime age.

Of course,

I can understand that.

I shall leave.

So long.

What you've just said...

What?

To Li Ronggang.

Just putting on a show for him.

Didn't mean to take advantage of you.

As if.

If I didn't say so,

he would not have left.

Him?

He wouldn't dare.

Get out of here.

Brother Chang,

I forgot to say that...

What?

What am I doing?

What do you want?

Brother Chang,

I forgot to tell you that

we are attacking the headquarter

of Linghua Clan

early in the morning tomorrow.

Are you done?

So long.

Sorry for bothering you.

I'm really sorry.

Is it just in my head?

Just putting on a show.

Didn't mean to take advantage of you.

I'm hungry.

I'll find some food.

Be careful.

How long do we have to wait?

Our master

has run out of patience.

What's the rush?

To destroy the nation

is no piece of cake.

Our master didn't aid you

to let you do as you please!

I haven't received the money you promised me.

Without it,

I can't equip my soldiers.

Besides,

I have been working on the soul-killing poison.

I need the money.

The soul-killing poison?

You all have taken the antidote.

Relax.

Didn't know

this soul-killing poison

can be this powerful.

The soul-killing poison

is more powerful than the soul-taking poison.

Those who inhale it

will see their worst fears.

In the end,

they'll all be frightened to death.

The Chief spares this cave on purpose.

The goal

is to produce the soul-killing poison.

Found him?

I've been told

they have left the city.

Bring Lian Nishang to me alive.

Don't mess it up again.

Also,

visit the Dragon Inn.

Inform Li Ronggang

to get prepared.

Tomorrow at noon,

act as planned.

It's from a friend.

This hairpin

is no regular one.

The technique used

is very rare and almost lost.

It may be the work of

the senior goldsmith from Huyang County.

He's probably the only one who could make this.

You said

it's from a friend.

I assume

she is more than just a friend.

Just a friend.

Well, you two wish for different things.

This hairpin

is missing a piece of nice jade.

People say

a gold hairpin goes with nice jade.

It's talking about the perfect match.

This friend of yours,

she is showing you her affection.

Can you fix it or not?

If I can't,

I wouldn't say this much.

It's just that

the technique is complicated.

I'm afraid

you'll need to wait for a long time.

Stop!

Who are you?

I am Chief of the Shadow Clan.

Zhao Sanlang.

Deputy, Zhao Wulang.

You've got the nerve.

You carry those pieces of crap

and call yourself swordsmen?

Just go home

and farm your land.

How dare you look down on me.

And me!

I know that guy inside.

Don't be fooled by him!

Yeah, he is evil.

Mind your tongue.

Officer Li Ronggang

is a secret service agent sent by the Imperial Court

to support the righteous clans.

You two peasants.

How dare you insult him.

Wanna die?

You,

you don't understand.

Let me in!

You...

Get lost!

Dude, this guy's for real.

Let's just forget about it

and go back to our work as blacksmiths.

No way!

We must show him that we have guts!

But I'm bleeding.

This is a huge opportunity for us.

We can't just give up.

But

what's the plan?

The plan?

Wait till I got the chance.

I'll expose Li Ronggang

and save the righteous clans.

Then...

Why aren't you laughing?

Laugh!

Laugh.

Laugh!

This hairpin.

It's about the perfect match.

Chief's order,

we'll ambush the righteous clans tomorrow

at our headquarter.

You came all the way just for this?

Not just that.

The other secret service agent spending the night here.

Is he with a woman?

So what?

The Chief emphasized this.

Bring that woman back,

alive!

Who is she?

That's none of your business.

Brother, you...

Here comes my chance!

Brother!

I...

Did I just kill someone?

You did a great job!

I...

I did a great job?

Yes!

Quick, go back to the inn.

Tell that secret service guy

and the woman

what happened here.

Once the plan of the cult is sabotaged,

we'll become heroes!

What are you waiting for?

We'll be heroes?

Just go!

Go!

We are heroes!

Yes.

Heroes!

Now go.

Feeling better?

I've forced the poison out of me.

Let's eat.

Thanks.

I've fixed

the hairpin for you.

Why did you add that jade on?

Do you know how important it is to me?

Nothing will happen

between us.

Don't bother.

Also,

after the righteous clans and us

defeat Linghua Clan

and save Zhuo Yihang,

we'll part ways.

You keep your job,

and I continue to save people.

We'll get what we want.

We're even.

Understood.

Who is it?

Are you

the secret service officer?

What do you want?

I have something important to tell you.

Someone wants you dead.

No,

your woman as well.

Come in.

Chief!

Shut up!

Chief!

My brother saw

Li Ronggang

meeting

the woman in black from Linghua Clan.

They said

you told them

to ambush the righteous clans

at the headquarter tomorrow

and capture you alive!

Wait, Chief.

Why do you want to capture yourself?

I am not the Chief.

I'll find Li Ronggang.

I'll do it myself.

Easy.

Tell me.

Where is the headquarter of Linghua Clan？

Yingxiang Hill,

Dazhou Mountain.

Take me there.

Seems you are injured from the inside.

Even this green snake can take you down.

Sorry, sister.

With this antidote,

you won't die.

(spell) Yilimaza, haxikuka.

Master,

the soul-killing poison

is all set.

I've got news!

Chief,

Li Rogang has captured Lian Nishang alive.

He is on his way here.

When he arrives,

send him to me immediately.

As for Lian Nishang,

lock her up secretly.

Send the guards to watch her.

Yes, Chief!

Remember. Keep her under close supervision.

She is of great value to us.

Wake up!

Sir?

Sir!

The plan tomorrow is dangerous.

Chang, you've helped me a lot.

For that, I am thankful.

I've released your inner force.

You don't have to put yourself in danger.

I can eliminate them all myself.

Consider this our farewell.

Sir.

Sir?

We were almost tricked by Li Ronggang.

That bastard.

How dare him!

He tricked us!

Unfortunately,

we let him escape.

No,

listen to me.

Li Ronggang

must have captured the woman

and ran away.

Sir,

don't worry.

There's another woman in black.

My brother's got her.

Brother.

Brother.

Brother?

Brother!

Look at you. How indecent.

You up?

Tell us.

What's your plan?

The North Bureau of suppression

is an expert in torturing.

At this moment,

your woman

must be going through hell.

Well,

my nose is gone for good.

I'll ask you one last time.

Tell me everything.

Chief is asking for you.

You can leave her to us.

Chief,

I have brought her here.

I've got news!

Chief,

we've got news.

The ambassador is in the righteous clans' hand.

Chief,

Chang An excels in interrogation.

I'm afraid they've already found out

my identity and the plan.

Yes, you're good at interrogation,

but that's a trap for him.

Even without you,

she will lead them into the trap.

Chief, you are so genius!

I, Li Ronggang, am willing to lead the army.

I'll fight at the front to show my loyalty.

Officer Chang,

why haven't we

started the fight?

What are we waiting for?

When we interrogate people,

we only believe half of what they say.

There's probably a trap waiting for us.

Follow me.

Master,

it's time.

Clear the space.

Act as planned.

They've all left.

Show yourself.

It’s you.

What a lame imitation.

Tell me.

Where is Zhuo Yihang?

Hilarious.

That goldsmith was poisoned by me.

He didn't see Zhuo Yihang.

Why do you want me?

I want to cooperate.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend.

To me,

all clans other than Wudang

are nothing but a joke.

If you join me,

my cult can cooperate with

tribes outside the border.

Then,

you and I, we can rule

the entire martial arts community.

Isn't that nice?

You wish!

You do live up to your reputation,

Lian Nishang.

Trying to copy me?

You're not even close.

What a coincidence, Brother Chang.

It's not.

I'm here to kill you.

So that's what you really look like.

You have improved a lot.

You've talked too much.

Brother Chang,

no,

Officer Chang.

I'm begging you.

Please spare my life.

Give me one reason not to kill you.

The Chief of Hehuan Clan is inside.

If you don't kill me,

I'll take her down with you.

My life belongs to you.

I'll do anything for you.

She is the real White-haired Witch, Lian Nishang.

What are you doing here?

Brother Chang,

what is this?

She's the witch!

Guys,

please listen.

Lian Nishang is no evil.

On our way here,

she's helped the Imperial Court a lot.

I, Chang An,

can vouch for her.

Officer Chang,

the imperial court has its rules.

We clans have our own rules.

This can't make up for what she did.

Yes!

She'll always be an enemy to us righteous clans.

Yes!

Lian Nishang blinded Zhuo Yihang,

and brought destruction to Wudang.

We can never

forget about that.

All of you are from small clans.

Wudang Clan is not even here.

Yet you are all trying to butter it up.

You...

How hilarious.

You witch!

It's poison!

Cover your nose and mouth!

Brother!

Brother, are you poisoned?

Stay down!

You witch,

what are you doing here!

I am the Chief of Wudang Clan.

You are the witch people despise.

We are on opposite sides.

Good and evil cannot coexist.

You'll never be my wife!

You'll never be my wife!

You'll never be my wife!

Have you fallen in love with that witch?

Why don't you look me in the eye!

Did you already forget I died for you?

You'll always be alone.

You hide in the shadow

and do the dirty work for the secret service.

It's not true!

You'll always be alone.

No.

You hide in the shadow

and do the dirty work for the secret service.

You'll always be alone.

You hide in the shadow and do the dirty work for the secret service.

It's not true.

You'll always be alone.

Wake up!

Lian Nishang!

Lian Nishang!

Wake up!

Wake up, Lian Nishang!

Wake up!

Lian Nishang.

Wake up.

Wake up.

Wake up.

Wake up.

Lian Nishang.

Wake up!

Chang An.

Chang An.

Chang An!

I'm sorry.

I've crossed the line.

Chang An.

Chang An?

Chang An!

She sure is the White-haired Witch.

What is love exactly?

It makes me forget about my job.

Nobody wants to hear that!

You should be saying this.

When you've seen the world,

I've not been born.

We couldn't meet at the right time,

but after our encounter,

we will never fall in love with anyone else.

Never.
