Qing Dynasty at the dawn of the Shunzhi Era.

A great illness has suddenly befallen Emperor Shizu.

His life is hanging by a thread.

Legend tells of a mysterious flower on Thousand Snow Peak.

It blooms once every twenty years.

He who acquires it can breathe life back into the dead,

turning white hair into black.

The Imperial Court has sent an envoy

THOUSAND SNOW PEAK

Before you is Yelü Niehtang, Chief Steward of the Eight Banners of Great Qing Dynasty.

I have come to pay my respects to Venerable Senior Cho of Wudang.

His Majesty's dragon body is ailing.

It is said the mysterious Uḍum Flower safeguarded by Venerable Senior Cho

has the power to return life to the dead.

What time is it now?

Oh! There's still four hours until the flower blooms.

I am asking what the year is.

Senior, it has now been ten years since the founding of Great Qing.

Ten years...?

You can go now.

Senior, if the mysterious flower restores His Majesty's dragon body,

the Imperial Court shall surely reward you handsomely.

This flower is not for you!

Cho I-Hang, have you heard a word of what our commander's been saying?!

Who is there... even more important than His Majesty...?

The most important person in my heart... is a woman.

I've waited for her here for ten years now.

I wonder if she even knows...

BAAK FAAT MO NEOI ZYUN THE TALE OF THE WHITE-HAIRED DEMONESS

My master was once Chieftain of the Eight Great Sects of the Central Plain,

True Taoist Purple Sun of the Wudang Sect.

Out of the blue, he'd explain to me the gratitudes and resentments of the Jianghu,

the difference between righteous and wicked.

Of course, apart from the Eight Great Sects,

he considered all the others to be wicked.

I-Hang. You must never forget:

righteousness and wickedness, like fire and water, cannot mix.

I know, Master.

He was always like this.

And my replies were always the same.

The Swimming Dragon Moon-Splitting Sword I have passed onto you,

- have you mastered it yet? - I know it well, Master!

I-Hang...!

Be enthralled by qi! Heart and sword are as one!

Draw your sword!

Sword and qi protect the form.

Falling blossoms touch not the body.

With a single strike, pierce the centre!

Master, I've already trained to such a level.

Surely I should take ten or eight days rest now, right?

Knowledge is infinite.

If you wish to be chieftain in the future, you must keep training!

Actually, I never thought about becoming Chieftain of the Wulin.

But... every once in a while, I'd be a hero and uphold justice.

I should've just let you get slaughtered by those scoundrels.

Because I went and rescued you, I don't even know where I've ended up.

Oh no... Master's gonna let me have it this time...

Ever since I was a child, I've been afraid of two things.

The first is thunder and lightning.

The second...

Li'l Lamb... It's now time you for you to repay our karmic debt.

I'm gonna go. You take care!

Help...! Help...!

Master, help me...!

Martial Sister, Martial Brother, help me!

Uncle White Cloud, help me!

Dammit... I'm outta road.

Help...! I don't wanna die! Help! Help!

Master, save me! Help! Help!

To think that in this world...

there really are miracles.

At the time, I just really wanted to fly up there and thank her.

Take a good look at her face.

But most unfortunately...

I was just too tired.

When I first met him,

he was but an ordinary military officer.

To think, he would eventually be the protector of Shanhai Pass,

changing the history of the Central Plain as Great General Wu Sangui.

You're lucky I rescued you in the woods this time.

Maybe next time I'll be fishing your body out somewhere in the wilds.

Everyone is drunk; my head alone is clear—drink!

Good wine! Again!

I always had such a great time being with him.

Because I got to do things that Master would never allow me to.

I-Hang?

Y'know... fear not condemnation by a thousand accusing fingers.

But proof of a clear conscience is found only through deep introspection.

If one lives only by following the whims of the world...

You're digging yourself an early grave...

And such an existence is meaningless!

Hey? I've been talking a lot— have you even been listening to any of it?

To think, someone burdened with an aura of killing

would belie such a kind and gentle heart.

Sometimes I'd become suspicious,

wondering if he only treated me well because I was an orphan.

Cho I-Hang!

On the 17th day of the First Moon, at farmer Oxen Ho's home,

you stole a lamb of his!

- Do you admit your guilt? - He didn't just steal my sheep!

He injured me as well...!

Just look at me— my whole face's swollen...!

I just wanted the li'l lamb to see another day.

I didn't want 'em to butcher and eat him.

Master, you've said we should be as heroes and uphold justice.

It's not my fault they won't even spare a little lamb!

If you're defending against violence, why'd you beat us up, then?!

They called me beast, and called me bastard.

They're lucky I didn't force 'em to eat dog shit!

What are you laughing at?!

Chieftain. Cho I-Hang is the senior disciple of Wudang,

as well as Chieftain's successor.

For something like this to have occurred, is nothing short of an insult to the sect!

A disgrace to the eminence of Wudang!

Martial Uncle White Cloud wasn't actually a bad person.

But he was just a bit ambitious.

He always wanted to overturn tradition,

have his daughter Ho Lu-Hua ascend to Chieftain of the Wulin.

Thus, I became something of a nail in his eye.

The art of calligraphy and the art of the sword are the same.

One must have power!

This is my martial junior Yu Hsin-Cheng.

Regardless of school or sect,

power is exuded through the brush and through the sword.

By the mind, power flows.

By the mind, power flows.

By power, the brush moves.

By power, the brush moves.

The waist, more rigid than a brush.

The waist, more rigid than a brush!

- Wrist raised! - Wrist raised!

The arm as a swimming dragon.

The arm as a swimming dragon!

- Oh...! Martial Sister's late! - Dad... I'm sorry!

Sit down already!

Begin practising your calligraphy.

Cho I-Hang, you broke the rules. Write this out five hundred times!

I saw this coming already.

Yu?

[MEANIE WHITE CLOUD]

'Of poverty and mean condition to make swerve from principle'.

This is Martial Sister Ho Lu-Hua.

Have you noticed how she's always smiling at me?

She'd regularly bring me things to eat, try and put me in a good mood.

This means regardless of how wealthy one becomes,

one must never lose their sense of self, and descend into debauchery and indecency.

'And of power and force... to make bend'.

This means one must never yield to power and oppression.

Do you understand?

Cho I-Hang!

Don't think because the chieftain indulges you, you can act as you please!

Everyone else hasn't eaten and are diligently writing.

Yet here you are eating a bun?!

Be like your martial sister:

quiet like a virgin, nimble like a rabbit.

You are not that.

You are ill-fitting and slovenly— a gluttonous sloth!

I know...

Martial Sister is intelligent as she is bright.

But the martial brothers are all buds, holding in until they burst out in bloom.

You are the senior martial brother, yet you cannot even stand upright!

During lessons, you cavort with your junior brothers!

Do you admit your guilt?!

Furthermore, in Second Moon, you left the mountain without permission,

and mercilessly killed Kaifeng's chief constable, Fan Tien-Cheng.

Do you admit your guilt?!

I do not.

Martial Uncle White Cloud. All it took was a single strike from me to defeat him.

How is that 'mercilessly killed'?

Oh my, how can he talk like that...?

A disciple of Wudang, yet such unkempt hair. How improper!

Not at all! I don't feel there's a problem.

So you admit it, then?

Yes, I admit to killing the bastard official.

- But— - The truth is now apparent.

Why do you still argue?!

Well I've got nothing to say...

The bastard official's family do though.

Hey... C'mon.

Greetings, greetings. Please do not misunderstand Great Hero Cho.

My son was deplorable! Even death was too good for him!

Yes, yes! It's all thanks to Great Hero Cho.

Otherwise that bastard official would've raped me already...

- He wanted to kill my children too...! - Thank you, Great Hero Cho.

- Thank you for upholding justice... - Don't be like this. Get up!

No commotion in the Great Hall!

- Thank you... Thank you... - You have my gratitude...

Brother White Cloud?

Enlighten me as to what my unruly disciple has done requiring such a congregation

and the attention of the elders of the Eight Great Sects.

Cho I-Hang exploits his position as Chieftain's successor.

All day long he runs amok, bullying the disciples of other sects!

Before the witnesses assembled here, he can do nothing but confess!

I-Hang! Is this your doing?

Chieftain.

They are successors to six sects.

If I can single-handedly defeat them,

that would mean the martial arts of Wudang is the strongest.

If that's the case, I confess.

Shut up!

Well put, Martial Brother! That was really well said, huh?!

Keep quiet!

Ma Yu of the Kongtong Sect! Did Cho I-Hang beat you up like this?!

Uh... No! I just got carried away during my training is all...

Liu Cheng of the Diancang Sect, what about you?! Why are you so injured?

Oh! It's nothing! We were just goofing around!

And the rest of you?

I fell into the well drawing water!

I was chased by a tiger!

- We're only joking—just joking... - Get back over here, then!

You're all a bunch of liars... You!

He was beaten up because he refused to pay the courtesans at Myriad Spring House.

You!

Conspired with the government to seize folks' farmland—isn't that right?!

And there's you!

- You think being skilled in martial arts— - Cho I-Hang!

Yes?

Without the sect's permission, you illicitly left the mountain.

Your punishment is to reflect before the Buddha in the Great Hall

with ne'er a drop to drink for a period of three days.

Aye.

You should take a break when you can.

What's with the attitude anyway?

You must be happy. You miss me and now you get to see me.

Hungry yet?

- I brought you something to eat. - Oh... Thanks.

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!

You're letting Martial Brother put something like that in his mouth?!

Martial Brother, this here's actual good stuff. Eat up!

Big Brother Cho! Big Brother Cho! Big Brother Cho...!

Big Brother Cho! Big Brother Cho! Big Brother Cho!

- Big Brother Cho? - Yeah?

It really wasn't us who wanted to accuse you this morning.

- Taoist White Cloud forced us to...! - Yeah, that's right...!

You won't hold a grudge, right...?

Of course not...

- I've forgotten all about it. - Thank you, Big Brother Cho!

Yeah...! Don't forget to pay the whore next time!

- Yeah, yeah... - Big Brother Cho?

Try this red sorghum wine from Shaanxi. Try it...

Forget it...! Can't you see Martial Brother's got his hands full

with Martial Sister's two snow white buns already?

Hey! Don't you know this is the Great Hall of Wudang?!

Wine and meat—are you trying to get him killed?! Get out!

Just get outta here.

- Then I'll... - You too!

I'm gonna sleep by myself in my room.

You and Martial Brother stay and sleep together!

What are you doing?

This jade heirloom was bequeathed to me by my father.

I've now given it to you.

But... you have to promise me though that you'll never break it.

Hey, don't go.

What are you trying to do...?

I need to take a piss.

Cover for me.

Junior Martial Brother?!

You speak the truth.

At this juncture, it is now time for us to make an effort for the country.

Behead the madmen. Quash the evil presence. Kill!

Aye!

Junior Martial Brother?!

Hey, turns out it's a serious crime to steal army provisions!

Tribesmen like us get beheaded for plucking a single blade of grass...!

- Rarely full is better than starving! - Hey?! We've got food...!

- Come out and get something to eat...! - Hurry over for some food!

- We're handing out rice...! - Come or there'll be nothing left...!

Right! One at a time— there's enough for everyone...!

Wife, you're with child— get back inside. Let me get it!

Li'l Sis, c'mon and eat up!

- Hurry and get some! - Come and get some now! Hurry!

You foreign beggars!

You dare steal the Great Ming Court's army provisions?! Kill them all!

Wife, let's go...

- Wife, are you alright?! - It hurts so much...!

It's been a long time since I've tasted a foreign woman...!

C'mon. Come out. Hurry!

We'll play dead!

Get up. Let's go.

Kill all the foreign beggars! Kill...!

You're dead, witch...!

I'll chop you into nine pieces!

Exactly nine pieces.

Run...! The witch is too powerful! Get out of here now...!

- Wife... Hang in there! - Husband... It really hurts—

Are you alright...?

I can't... I think I'm in labour— I can't walk anymore...!

Wife?!

There's a campfire up ahead! Let's find someone to help us.

- Oh no... Why's there nobody here?! - It's coming... I can't bear it...!

Great Hero! Great Hero!

We didn't steal any army provisions! I beg you to spare our lives!

I'm begging you!

Wife?!

Wife?!

Are you alright?! Wife?!

Great Hero, can you deliver a child?! I beg you to help us!

- Me deliver your child?! - Yes! Yes...!

Please...!

Wife, just hang in there...!

Wife...?! Wife, are you alright...?

Heroine, do you know how to deliver a child?!

Please help us...! Please...!

Wife?!

Don't be scared. There's someone to help us now!

Harder...!

Push harder, Wife...!

Wife?! Wife?! What's wrong?!

Ma'am?!

Wife?! Wife...?!

Wife...?!

Wife...?!

Wife, we've already been through the worst of it...

Why is it now... that you have to leave us...?

Don't take it too hard.

You have a son, so you still have hope.

Here.

Use it to start a small business.

There...

Leave this place.

Great Hero... Thank you so much, Great Hero...

Just who the hell are you?!

Why have you followed me?

Maiden.

You're the one who dragged us so close together.

Hmm?!

There we go.

It's better to keep some distance between us.

Those who have seen my face shall be struck blind!

Wow! I had a peep of your whole body,

so I guess Heaven and Earth, smite me down, then.

Maiden.

What's with the temper?

[RETURN TO THE SACRED PALACE AT ONCE]

Maiden...?!

Hey?!

Dammit...

I didn't even tell you my name is Cho I-Hang yet...

Cleric of the Divine,

slaughter and bloodshed exalt thee!

Cleric of the Divine,

slaughter and bloodshed exalt thee!

Cleric of the Divine, slaughter and bloodshed exalt thee!

Today...

our guardian set out...

and eradicated a large number of running dogs.

I want them to understand, that the people of our tribe cannot be stamped out...

like ants!

Chief Guardian's mastery of blood,

banishes the evil ones!

Chief Guardian's mastery of blood

banishes the evil ones!

Chief Guardian's mastery of blood

banishes the evil ones!

Chief Guardian's mastery of blood, banishes the evil ones!

Those old fools from the Eight Great Sects of the Central Plain...

are so old they cannot even pick up their swords.

Using their mouths...

They use their mouths to spread lies to delude the masses!

Not content with unifying the Central Plain,

they also want to desecrate the graves of our ancestors!

How rude!

As long as we...

root out and exterminate those old dogs in charge...

the Eight Great Sects of the Central Plain...

shall crumble into nothing.

Bring the dogs to extinction.

Extend our demonic longevity...!

Bring the dogs to extinction!

Extend our demonic longevity!

Bring the dogs to extinction! Extend our demonic longevity!

How come all night...

you've been like a block of ice...?

We, brother and sister, have concealed ourselves for twenty-something years,

all for this day.

Now... the time has come for you to repay us.

In my name... kill them all!

Your heart... is beating ever so strong...

Let me have a feel!

You two are done giving your instructions, then?

What are you laughing at?!

Little Brother, aren't you the definition of pitiful?

You raised a little fledgling into a full-grown bird.

But you're not even allowed to touch her!

Real love... is two-sided.

I will wait for her.

Oh, right! There is no bliss in duress.

There is no bliss in duress...!

True Taoist Purple Sun.

The Demon Cult's influence grows in the borderlands with each passing day.

This is bound to threaten the safety of the people of Great Ming.

Elder, as Chieftain of the Eight Great Sects and Sixteen Ways,

you are expected to provide at least some support.

So Chi Wu-Shuang has re-emerged...

Once again... the evil influence consumes the Jianghu!

We must use this time before the Demon Cult fully consolidates its power,

and eradicate them!

Eradication is no simple task!

We've heard those siblings' martial arts has become even more powerful!

Martial Brother...

We never should have let that evil scoundrel go so easily back then!

Bah... Now is not the time to discuss this matter.

We must come to an immediate decision as to which sect shall lead the troops!

What do you mean?

Wudang is the leader of the Eight Sects.

The one to lead the troops, shall be you, of course.

- Chief Ting is correct. - Indeed!

Yu?

- What is it, Master? - Just where has I-Hang gotten to?

Where have you been?

Master's in there meeting with the Seven Great Sects about the Demon Cult.

Wait, come back. Where's the jade I gave you?

Why are you asking me now?

I'm asking you where the jade is.

Why did you give what I gifted you to someone else?

I felt that he needed the jade more than I did.

I killed him.

I don't think you need this jade anymore either.

Martial Brother, Master wants you urgently!

My apologies, Chieftain. I'm late.

I-Hang!

The Eight Sects has come to the decision to send troops to suppress the Demon Cult.

You shall be in command!

Chieftain... Killing the enemy is an important endeavour and no small feat.

I fear that I won't be up to the task.

The greatness of Wudang is from the brilliance of its people.

Why is it that in Chieftain's eyes, there is only I-Hang?

You have an even better suggestion, then?!

This humble servant has a bold suggestion.

My youngest daughter, Lu-Hua, should be the best candidate for commander.

That's right.

Martial Sister is wise and decisive; her sword fast and merciless.

The position of commanding an army is one she would be perfect for, bar none.

How can that be...?! That would be against the rules!

- Chief Ai, what say you? - Indeed... What do you think?

Chieftain?! How can a female assume such an important responsibility?!

I-Hang!

Military orders are as mountains! Canon cannot be disobeyed!

You shall lead the disciples of the Eight Sects.

Ho Lu-Hua shall be your deputy.

You set out at dusk!

Aye, I shall obey!

I-Hang...

Why is it, that although I endure to defend you before the Eight Sects...

you wilfully defy my wishes?

- Master, listen to me— - You listen to me!

I wasted so much blood, sweat, and tears to teach you martial arts.

I did this in the hope that upon the end of my long journey,

you would succeed me as Chieftain of the Eight Sects—a leader of heroes.

I know that if I became a leader of heroes...

I would have to do many things that trouble me.

Correct.

To think that having a kind and gentle heart...

would also be a shortcoming.

'A kind and gentle heart'?

I ask you this:

if one day, Chi Wu-Shuang was to level Mount Wudang itself...

would you be able to ask him to extend us the hand of mercy?

Furthermore...

if one day, the Central Plain was to be conquered by the foreign tribes,

and they wanted to kill every last one of us Han,

would you, with your benevolent heart, be able to move them?

This is the law of the Jianghu.

And thus... you have no other choice.

I do.

I can retire from the Jianghu.

'Retire from the Jianghu'?

Easier said than done!

I ask you this:

apart from knowing a bit of kung fu— what else can you do?

What'll you do, become a farmer out in the country...?!

The old chieftain said it himself...

He'll eventually hand his title over to you.

Everyone in the Eight Great Sects, let alone all of Wulin,

has their sights set on that spot.

You might be able to give it up.

But I certainly couldn't.

Kid... Learn to see further ahead— not just what's in front of you.

If you really became Chieftain of the Wulin,

then the two of us could become brothers in arms.

It could very well be...

that we'll be the ones who change the very course of Great Ming itself.

General. We caught some more foreign spies.

- Take their heads! - Aye! Have them beheaded!

We've been wronged! Help us...!

Hey, Uncle Gui?!

Why did you—

At this juncture,

I cannot spare a single life even if it means killing a hundred innocents!

The Demon Cult seek to ensnare all in their grasp.

The Manchus are becoming more and more aggressive!

It is the duty of soldiers like myself to protect our land.

We must wipe them out completely, leaving not a scrap on the battlefield!

I-Hang. Never forget: the present is made by heroes!

Hrmm... What's taking Martial Brother so long...?

Let's not wait for Cho I-Hang anymore.

Why don't we discuss tactical formations for defeating the Demon Cult instead?

But Chi Wu-Shuang's martial arts is profound,

and the Demon Palace remains elusive to us.

A move like this is too risky!

Since the Kongtong Sect is racked with self doubt,

why not withdraw while you still can?

I don't believe that the Seven Great Sects are no match for that fiend Chi Wu-Shuang!

- And the wolf girl? - Oi...!

We Seven Sects have Wudang's Sword of Seventy-Two Rings.

- And Mount Hua Sect's... - Seven Absolute Formations.

Seven Absolute Formations— what's with the reminder...?

And Emei Sect's Dragon- Tiger Subjugation.

And then there's also Kunlun Sect's Six Directional Vajra Blade.

When someone's not looking—kun...! Down in one strike.

This could be the wolf girl.

Even Jiutian Xuannü, Goddess of War, would be pft pft pft... into mince meat!

My brothers and sisters of the Wulin...

I, Cho I-Hang, wanna ask you something...

The foreign tribes have no grievances, and no resentments towards us.

So why do we have to kill 'em all?

Martial Brother.

You really wanna kill?

Yeah...

Then I'll ask you.

No... Don't...

Have you ever heard a sword sliding into someone's flesh?

Or the sound it makes cutting into someone's bones?

Cho I-Hang! You are commanding the Eight Sects,

yet you're scaring your men with hyperbole, and disrupting morale?!

You've always been full of lofty ambition, wanting to make a name for yourself.

So this role of commander... you can do it.

No one else could be more suitable.

It's so late but we still have to patrol— what a hassle!

It's cold, y'know...?!

Hey, there's something up ahead!

There's nobody there! Let's have some more wine.

Martial Brother?! Martial Brothe—

Martial Brother, wake up...!

Martial Sister? Is this against the rules?

He's the one who broke the rules.

He rejects military discipline, leaving the camp to get drunk!

And now he's given up his commanding insignia.

Let's see how he explains himself to Master when we're back in Wudang!

The Demon Cult is here...!

- Where are they?! - They're almost here...!

Be careful, everyone!

Get in formation!

Oh no... Martial Brother, it hurts bad!

- I'm dead for sure...! - It's just a flesh wound!

What a pain.

Stop fighting...!

Have you gone insane?! Can't tell us from the enemy!

Maiden.

Do you recognise me?

From the ancient city?

If you're a man of the Central Plain, I must kill you!

Then kill me.

Cho I-Hang...?!

Stop moving.

Don't blame me.

I'm afraid if I don't help you now, it'll be too late.

By my reckoning...

he may have fallen to the witch's sorcery.

He is not in control of his senses!

I don't think it's as simple as that.

The witch actually showed him mercy.

She spared his life. She also left with him as well.

From the look in their eyes, I think they must have been intimate!

Busybody!

If because of this wolf girl his soul has lost its wits...

how can he propagate the Central Plain with heroes, root out foreign threats?

Martial Brother...

I think you need to carefully reconsider

the ideal candidate for future chieftain.

That's enough from you.

Bring him back here immediately. He will explain himself to me in detail!

Little Brother! Go to sleep! Don't be like this!

It's only a woman!

I'll find you a hundred women, all of them better than her.

I don't want them...

- I only want her to come back! - Silly boy...

Are you out of your mind?

That bitch... She helped us kill so many from the Central Plain.

Now thinks she can get away?

I have to make her understand...

that she is why I hurt so much!

More hurt than twenty years ago

when Purple Sun, the decrepit dog, ran us out of the Central Plain?!

Chi Wu-Shuang!

You refuse to walk the righteous path!

Obsessed with wicked sorcery and the Demon Cult!

Tainted the Central Plain Wulin with filth and chaos!

We've only abolished your work.

Consider yourselves lucky we haven't killed you!

Everyone, quieten down...!

My fellow chieftains.

These two deviants have indeed accomplished all manner of evil

and are deserving of punishment.

But we are the righteous sects.

We cannot commit an act of genocide.

Chi Wu-Shuang. I am giving you your freedom.

As of today, you are forbidden to take even half a step onto the Central Plain!

Little Brother...

We cannot develop feelings for anyone.

We can only hate them, resent them!

Control them...

We adopted the wolf girl...

only so she could help us kill every last bastard dog of the Central Plain!

She is only a tool we use for killing.

You must never forget:

there is only me...

The only one you can never lose is me!

I want this to change...!

It's always been your fault!

Why do you follow me everywhere...?!

I don't want you...!

You don't want me? Can you even do that?!

I want the wolf girl...!

Nobody will want you!

Would you please take a look at yourself!

[LIEN]

Why do you have the word practise on your body?

I only know that Lien is the name of my family.

I don't even have a name.

But everyone should have their own name.

Ever since I was little, I've lived amongst the wolves.

It was Chi Wu-Shuang who took me from the wolves and into the Demon Cult.

She also taught me martial arts...

training me into their tool for killing.

How about I give you a name?

Lien...

Lien Wu-Kung!

'Practise Martial Arts'?

Ah... I remember now...

I remember the first time I ever saw you.

You were standing on top of a hill.

The moonlight shone down on your clothes.

It was like they were glowing!

Let's call you Lien Ni-Chang, then.

'Rainbow Clothes of the Immortals'?

Why don't we retire from this Jianghu?

So you won't miss Wudang, or becoming Chieftain of the Wulin, then?

This Jianghu isn't suited to us anymore.

They can keep their squabbling and bickering.

If after several decades, I'm so old that even my hair has turned white...

what would you do?

Well, you don't have to worry.

Have you heard the rumours that under heaven there is the Uḍum Flower?

It blooms once every twenty years. Eating it will grant you eternal life.

If your hair really did turn completely white,

I would go find it for you, no matter what.

- Answer me... Answer me! - What?

Not being trusted is what I hate the most. You'll always trust me, right?

I'll swear an oath.

Heaven and Earth be my witness!

If I, Cho I-Hang, ever fail Lien Ni-Chang:

Heaven and Earth, smite me down!

[WAIT FOR ME]

[WAIT FOR ME]

Why...?

Why must you disappoint me so?!

Answer me...!

What are you getting so riled up about?

When the time comes, go to a wolf's den, or a dog's lair,

and pick out another feral girl to take care of.

After ten or so years, you can eat that one up...!

But I'm worried that by then, your 'martial arts' will have gone soft!

Shut up...

I spent so much blood, sweat, and tears on you.

You think you can just wipe it all off in one go?

I've already decided the path I'll take from here.

I'm not going to look back.

You say a few words and think you can just walk out of the Demon Palace?!

What do you want, then?

You've known right from the start what my little brother wants!

As long as you'll let me leave the Demon Cult...

Whatever you want...

Do it!

Little Brother... Even if you lick her entire body, it'll be no use.

She already gave her heart to another long ago!

You're only getting second-hand goods!

We've been together for so long,

yet you don't even know how a woman is supposed to react!

All your martial arts training must've made you dull!

Have you given it to someone else?!

Is it that bastard dog of Wudang you disappeared with last time?!

He's not a bastard dog!

He's called Cho I-Hang.

Just what in hell did he give you...?!

A name.

I'm now called Lien Ni-Chang.

Not wolf girl.

As soon as they're born, everyone should have a name.

Little Brother... What an ordinary name!

Turns out all she wants is to be an ordinary person.

Lien Ni-Chang!

So you want to be an ordinary person...?

Of course!

You'll walk out of the Demon Palace as an ordinary person, then!

During this time...

Uncle Gui finally became the great general he always dreamt of being.

I also truly grasped the meaning of the words he gave me at Shanhai Pass.

[SHANHAI PASS]

To think a hero who usually called for the death of all foreign tribesmen,

would also at this moment in time, let the Qing troops through the pass.

Take off her clothes!

Leave...!

Die...!

Don't forget!

You cannot use martial arts!

Oh, love...

your magic is irresistible...!

Shut up!

Hit her! Beat the slut!

Hit her...!

Enough...!

I told you nobody could pass this trial...!

I can leave, then?

Leave!

Big Sis, your wedding dress.

Cho I-Hang!

The traitorous dog Wu Sangui let the Qing troops through the pass.

The fortunes of the Great Ming are now on a precipice,

the verge of ruin or survival.

Safeguarding the kingdom is now of the essence!

It is time to defend the land!

Yet here you are, romancing with the enemy,

your heart, beguiled by lust!

Ni-Chang and I have decided to retire from the Jianghu.

Cho I-Hang.

For this witch, you're really willing to be condemned throughout the ages?!

You can go now.

Sinner...! Hmph!

You betray even those closest to you?!

[COMMAND]

Junior Martial Brother, regardless of anything,

remember Master's kindness in raising you.

It is only right that you return and explain yourself to the old man!

Wait, hold on.

Since you left, the chieftain has rarely said a word.

I think he's really angry this time.

You should think carefully how to best explain yourself to him.

How can this be...?

Master's body...

Where's Master's body?! Master's body...!

Find it now! Find it now...!

Aye!

Martial Uncle...! Martial Uncle...!

Martial Brother! Martial Brother!

Chieftain! Chieftain! Chieftain...!

- Chieftain... - Chieftain...!

Chieftain...

Chieftain...

Chieftain...

Martial... Brother...

Yu? Yu...?!

- Martial... Brother... - Yu...?

Yu...

Hurts...!

- Hurts so much... - Yu... Who did this to you?

Hurts... so much...

Who did this to you? Just tell me...!

Who did this to you?

- I don't wanna die so young... - Tell me! Who did this to you...?!

Wolf girl... while you were gone...

- brought men to kill us... - 'Wolf girl'...?

She did this to you...?

To think, this is how Wudang comes to an end!

- She wouldn't do this... - What are you talking about?!

She was raised by wolves! It's her nature to be a wild beast!

Wudang's been reduced to this today all because you've been blinded by lust!

You still refuse to admit your mistakes?

Cho I-Hang!

For goodness sake, come to your senses!

It really hurts...

Hurts....

I'm only here for Cho I-Hang!

Witch! You took these lives, now you want to take him too?!

What?

Damn witch!

Stop fighting...!

Let's go.

I only want to ask you one thing.

Did you do this?

Whether they die, is none of my concern.

I'm asking you now:

are you leaving with me?

Why did you do this?!

Why...?!

Don't let her get away...!

Kill the witch...!

Why didn't you trust me...?

Not being trusted is what I hate the most.

You'll always trust me, right?

I'll swear an oath.

Heaven and Earth be my witness!

If I, Cho I-Hang, ever fail Lien Ni-Chang...

Heaven and Earth, smite me down!

The witch has become possessed! We'll kill her...!

Ni-Chang...

She is already dead.

Ni-Chang?!

Ni-Chang...?

I-Hang...?

Come here.

Come here!

Master...

I-Hang...

Why is it, that for all these years...

you refused to heed my words...

even challenging me at every opportunity...?

I-Hang...

Now that Wudang is in ruins...

how can you ever make it up to Master...?

M-Master... I —

I...

Fool!

Congratulations to the happy couple on their union!

May your hair grow white together...!

You are going to die a terrible death.

Come out!

Come out here...!

Come out here...!

Come out...!

Junior Martial Brother...

Why did you treat me like this?

Huh...?

You... You...

What right do you have stealing my woman...?!

What right...?!

This is a lot of fun...!

Little Brother! Cut out this whore's heart for me...!

Do it!

What are you doing?! Kill her!

Kill her...!

Are you listening to me?!

Why aren't you killing her?

Kill her...!

Kill!

Kill her! I said, 'Kill her'...!

Kill her...

Little Brother...

To think...

that in the end... the only one who could get in your way, was yourself—

So sleeping like this...

is really comfortable—

Ni-Chang...?

Ni-Chang!

This loathsome life.

This resentful night.

Who said love would be hard like this?

Between love and hate,

I can't tell them apart.

Red visage, white hair;

a feeling of radiance.

The past and hereafter,

are mine in a single night.

How could this not be

love till our hair grows white?

But I wish to believe,

if we part still entwined,

it will relieve the guilt in me.

As is this life.

Owing this night.

Who said love would be hard like this?

Between love and hate,

I can't tell them apart.

Red visage, white hair;

a feeling of radiance.

The past and hereafter,

are mine in a single night.

How could this not be

love till our hair grows white?

But I wish to believe,

if we part still entwined,

it will relieve the guilt in me.

It burns and burns naught.

Love's fire burns naught.

There is naught but white hair.
