[Word of Honor]

[Episode 31]

King.

The two ghosts have waited for a long time outside.

Should I bring them in?

Scorpion King.

How many casualties are there?

We lost 47 people this time.

There were 3...

Enough!

Though we got nothing from this trip,

we contributed a lot to it.

Qian Qiao.

Grant them the antidotes of this month.

Yes.

Thank you for your kindness, King.

Thank you, King.

Master.

Hurry up!

Hurry up!

Scorpion King, look who I’ve brought you.

Antidote.

Where’s my antidote?

Ah Xiang!

Ah Xiang!

Xiang’er!

Scorpion King.

Xiang’er is just a tiny servant in in the Ghost Valley.

Why are you doing this?

Scorpion King.

This girl is the only person whom the Lunatic Wen trusts.

We can definitely find out

the Lunatic Wen’s whereabouts from here.

Why the rush?

- Qian Qiao. - Yes.

Hurry and untie Miss Amethyst Fiend.

I want to have a good talk with her personally.

Leader.

Do you still remember the motto of our ancestor of the Gentle Wind Sect?

“A man lives when his sword is intact.

A man dies when his sword breaks.

Be righteous

and demolish demons.”

You still remember.

Then do you remember that one of the rules of our sect?

“A disciple of the Gentle Wind Sect will not associate with the demons.”

Today, you will explain yourself in front of

the portrait of our master.

Why did you do that today?

I associate with the Chief of the Five Lakes Alliance.

He is not a demon.

He choose to ask a tiger for its skin*, (*Ask a man to act against his interest)

bribe Scorpion and

tame the evil ghosts of the Ghost Valley.

I can’t control what they do.

Leader.

Do you want me to explain

to our disciples with these excuses?

Chief Gao’s death was a mystery.

It’s very suspicious.

It must be Zhao Jing!

Chief Gao handed you the Glazed Armor, which he cherished

more than his life.

But you...

Firstly...

I didn’t hand the Glazed Armor to anyone.

Secondly...

in such a dangerous situation today,

could you resolve it

without my association with Zhao Jing?

As the Leader,

mt priority is to

maintain the legacy of our Gentle Wind Sect.

I’m not guilty of anything.

But if one day, we are forced to a corner

and that’s the way to rescue the whole sect,

I don’t mind

losing my reputation.

I would rather die than act against the principles.

Back then,

everyone accused Chief Gao of associating with the Ghost Valley

and killing his brothers.

Looking at it now,

Zhao Jing is the one who’s working with the Ghost Valley!

Enough!

Do you think I’m too stupid or too cruel?

I’m acting along with Zhao Jing.

I have my own plans.

Senior Brother, what are you planning to do?

Only if I become the supreme leader of the martial arts world

in the upcoming Heroes Conference

and lead all heroes to exterminate the Ghost Valley,

I will then have the rights to take control.

Brother Gao died tragically.

I must carry his burden.

But what can these stones do?

You must trust me.

Follow my lead.

I trust you, Senior Brother.

I know you didn’t do it.

I misunderstood you.

Open the door.

I’m sorry.

Leader, we are late.

Xing Ming?

Be careful! Protect our Leader!

You were the leader of the Window of Heaven.

You were once powerful

and ruled over people’s lives.

But in the end, you’re saved by your juniors

and are fleeing for life.

Without the Prince’s favor,

who do you think you are?

You!

What’s your name again?

You’re a disciple of Old Bi, right?

I’m Bi Xing Ming.

Old Bi is stupid enough.

I didn’t expect that his disciple

would be more foolish.

Do you think you can snatch a culprit out of prison

just by your coordination with your people outside?

Absolutely idiotic!

You’re the disciples of the old subordinates of the Window of Heaven.

A few spies are keeping an eye on each of you.

I found out since the moment

you planned to break into the jail to rescue him.

But you sensed nothing.

Did your dead masters

know how stupid you are?

But, thanks to you

for bringing out Leader Zhou.

Anything could happen in combat.

When I was chasing after the fugitive,

I killed Leader Zhou by accident.

I’m not violating the Prince’s order, right?

I am not stupid!

Leader, I, the disciple of Cheng Xiu, Cheng Zi Chen

am willing to sacrifice myself today to protect you!

I will make your wish come true then.

What are you waiting for?

Leave with them.

Retreat with the brothers first.

Yes.

Brothers, let’s go!

Who are you?

Wen.

Wen Ke Xing.

The Chief of the Ghost Valley?

This was supposed to be a secret.

You’re putting me in an awkward situation

when you say it out loud.

Chief Wen, you’re here at the right time.

Even if you’re not here,

I will visit the Ghost Valley

to ask you for a thing.

Did I mishear you?

I didn’t kill you

yet you’re asking me something from me?

Chief Wen, stop pretending to be a god.

You’ve been too self-centered for too long,

not knowing any better about this world.

How dare you snatch this criminal from Jin all by yourself!

You’ve underestimated the Window of Heaven!

You’ve revealed yourself.

The army will be here in no time.

Even if you’re excellent at martial arts,

you’re all alone.

Who said that he’s alone?

Where’s Cheng Ling?

I’ve escorted him to a safe place, rest assured.

In this case,

us brothers can give it a go.

Wen Ke Xing, what are you trying to do?

You’ve called me Chief of the Ghost Valley.

As the Chief of 3,000 ghosts,

would I come alone to

save him?

- Retreat! - Hurry up!

Retreat!

Valley Chief!

Greetings, Leader. I’m Bi Xing Ming!

Greetings, Leader. I’m Cheng Zi Chen!

Greetings, Leader!

Senior Brother.

Before Brother Han died,

he handed me these children.

I decided by myself and accepted them.

It was Brother Han’s wish

to include them into the Four Seasons Manor.

It’s my wish too.

I’m the unworthy Second Disciple of the Four Seasons Manor, Wen Ke Xing.

Greetings, Leader.

Ah Xiang, they are back!

Master!

We are here.

Master!

Sick Dude! This is great!

Master, are you injured?

Who can hurt me?

Why are you here?

It’s a long story. I’ll tell you later.

Sick Dude.

How did the dog prince hurt you like this?

Master and I will take revenge for you later!

Just with your martial arts?

Bei Yuan?

Zi Shu.

It’s been many years. How have you been?

Master Wen, don’t be restless.

Though the Nails of Seven Torments are hard to deal with,

it’s not hopeless.

Zi Shu has overcome many difficulties.

He will overcome this one too.

Lord Seven, as long as you can heal Ah Xu’s injury,

I will...

I will try my best to repay you.

You don’t have to say this.

Zi Shu and I have known each other since young.

It’s just that he became colder as he grew up.

He never asks for help even if he needs it.

He never treats me as his friend.

Lord Seven, you knew Ah Xu?

Yes.

Looking at it now,

it’s been a long time ago, as if it was something from my past life.

Master Wen.

The brothers are all here.

Master Wen.

Lord Seven.

These children

are the disciples of our Four Seasons Manor.

Before the Manor is rebuilt,

I might need to keep them at your place.

Master Wen.

Wu Xi and I are who we are today

thanks to Zi Shu.

I’ll be offended

if you keep being so polite.

Bi Xing Ming greets Lord Seven.

What’s your relationship with Bi Chang Feng?

He’s my master.

I was fortunate to inherit my master’s surname.

Very good.

Oh, right.

Talking about this.

I received a piece of news from my warrior, Qin Lai.

He has escorted Cheng Ling to Leader Shen Shen

of the Mount Dagu Sect safely.

Since Zi Shu is rescued,

should we bring him back?

Grand Wizard, how was it? Can you save him?

Please allow me. I’m used to serving my master.

It’s fine. I’ll do it.

Let me do it instead.

Well, why does he do as you say?

By the way, Leader.

I forgot to inform you.

It was all thanks to Master Wen.

He contacted me with a mark left by Brother Han.

He made a good plan and led us.

What did you call me?

You should call us Master and Martial Uncle.

Greetings...

No rush.

You can acknowledge us formally

along with your senior brother.

Lao Wen.

I have 19 young men in my sect now.

Aren’t you gonna share some of my burdens?

No problem, Leader Zhou.

You may leave first.

Yes.

Let’s go.

Ah Xu.

Why weren’t you shocked

when you saw me out of the jail?

I was looking forward to your expression.

What’s so surprising?

I didn’t know when and how you would come.

But I did know

you would definitely come.

No wonder.

So you wanted to run away with your lover?

Yes.

Little girl.

Why aren’t you feeling shameful but proud?

Of course.

If Brother Cao is willing to come along with me,

it means that I’m more important to Brother Cao

compared to all the stupid rules in the martial arts world.

Of course I am happy!

You’re right!

Miss Ah Xiang, you dare to love and hate.

You are the girls in South Xinjiang.

Yes, she’s like the people from South Xinjiang,

who’s good at taking away children from decent families.

By the way, Little Ah Xiang.

Tell me how you two ran away.

It’s a wonderful story.

Ah Xiang! Ah Xiang!

Ah Xiang.

Why aren’t you lighting up your room?

I forgot.

How was it? What’s happening?

I still don’t get it now.

I feel like I’ve had a nightmare.

Master has formed an alliance with the Five Lakes Alliance.

No.

Then what’s with the Drug Men?

If they were allies,

why did the Drug Men surround Mount Qingfeng?

Did you see the man in the black robe?

He’s the Black Grim Reaper.

Why was the subordinate of the Ghost Valley there?

Chief Zhao has convinced the seven sects.

They will hold the Heroes Conference again.

Those evil ghosts

have already surrendered to Chief Zhao.

Impossible.

It’s not strange that the Black Grim Reaper would turn his back.

Bu Sister Qian Qiao would never betray Master.

You don’t know.

Sister Qian Qiao is the Beauty Ghost.

Don’t listen to Zhao Jing’s nonsense.

He is not a decent man.

Ah Xiang.

Martial Uncle told me these.

I can only listen to him.

Ah Xiang, I don’t understand.

I don’t want to look into it either.

Martial Uncle said that Master was planning to pursue more.

He asked me not to look into it.

But...

But I understand even if I don’t ask.

This is not right.

Not right.

Brother Cao, what’s wrong?

I’m just...

Ah Xiang.

We promised each other.

If Master and Martial Uncle don’t agree to our marriage,

we will run away.

Are you being serious?

Let’s run away.

I don’t care about being a righteous man.

You’re not evil.

We should leave.

I don’t understand. And I don’t want to.

We should leave this martial arts world.

We can open a dessert shop or a cosmetic shop.

We can raise cows and farm.

We can do anything.

What do you say?

Yes.

Just like that we ran away.

Isn’t it great?

That is quite wonderful.

Brother Cao can distinguish right from wrong.

He’s a real man.

You’ve married the right man.

Wait a minute.

I still don’t understand.

Zhao Jing allied with Mo Huai Yang from the Gentle Wind Sect

since the beginning?

Yes, but he hid it.

He didn’t tell his son, Scorpion King.

Scorpion King fought for nothing.

He’s extremely angry.

This is not right, Ah Xiang.

Since you’ve decided to run away,

how did you meet the people from the Ghost Valley?

How did you find us?

What’s wrong?

I’m sorry, Lord Seven.

Master Wen doesn’t allow Ah Xiang to say this.

He will cut her tongue off if she does.

Alright, then.

It’s fine, you don’t have to.

Luckily, you found Master Wen in time.

Otherwise, we had to

throw our lives in.

But Ah Xiang.

Does Brother Wen have to return to the Ghost Valley?

He finally reunited with Brother Zhou.

He will come back after stepping down from the chief position

and help Aunt Luo and her subordinates settle down.

But the Exorcism Assembly is starting soon.

All the heroes will go to Mount Qingya.

They can do whatever they want.

I only care about my sisters from the Department of the Unfaithful.

I don’t miss anyone there in the Ghost Valley.

Who cares if they’re dying?

Okay, I hope everything goes well.

How does this silly girl fold the clothes normally?

You’re here in time.

What’s wrong? Why do you look so gloomy?

Master, I’m still a little uneasy.

Can you not return to the Ghost Valley?

We just have to take care of the girls

of the Department of the Unfaithful.

Let the other ghosts find their own homes.

They are all betrayers anyway.

Who cares if they are dying?

You sound like a kid.

Don’t worry.

I’ll come back right away.

You just have to take care of Ah Xu for me.

Master, you can’t hide from me.

I’m not stupid.

I brought Scorpion King to you

because I thought you could

make him surrender.

But if you get hurt from this,

I...

I will never forgive myself for the rest of my life.

And I saw it with my own eyes.

Those silly ghosts were controlled by Scorpion King’s secret medicine.

They listened to him like pugs.

Why do they come back and serve you

after your secret talk with Scorpion King?

Although Scorpion King hates Zhao Jing,

that’s not a reason for him to help his enemy.

You even know that he’s helping his enemy.

Seems like you’ve gotten smarter

after being with Little Cao.

Master, don’t you change the topic!

Brother Cao has said

you’re asking a tiger...

Asking a tiger for what?

Asking a tiger for its skin!* (*Asking a man to act against his interest)

I know

you can do anything

to save Zhou Xu.

But Master,

you should tell me what you have promised him.

I’ve told you previously.

Never mention my plot

with Scorpion King to anyone else,

especially Ah Xu.

I didn’t.

I just think that I should know what’s happening too.

Master, I’m really worried about you.

Silly girl.

Scorpion King acts along with me

because it benefits him too.

I’ll explain this to you sometime.

The priority now

is for Ah Xu to heal as soon as possible.

Don’t worry.

Grand Wizard said

once Ah Xu’s condition improves to his best,

we need another master to be here

to remove the nails.

I’ll come back before then.

Now that you say this,

you should go then.

Right, you have left me behind a hundred times,

but not even once when it comes to that Sick Dude.

You’re jealous of a man?

No.

Why are you jealous because of me?

Why aren’t you jealous because of your Brother Cao?

He won’t make me jealous.

Master, you must come back safely.

Have a little confidence in me, okay?

Even if I’m asking a tiger for its skin,

can’t I defeat Scorpion King?

Who’s the tiger? Who’s the hunter?

We still don’t know yet.

Valley Chief is back.

All evils retreat!

All ghosts return!

Welcome back, Valley Chief.

My apologies.

But there’s only one chair

in your hall.

If you like it,

I can let you be the Chief of the Ghost Valley.

How about that?

No, thanks.

I don’t think

I can handle a critical situation.

You should keep

the position instead, Chief Wen.

Brother Cheng Ling, enough. Stop practicing!

Brother Cheng Ling!

You can’t learn martial arts overnight.

I know you’re annoyed at yourself.

But you can’t push yourself too hard.

Training days and nights

might not benefit you.

Cheng Ling.

Uncle Shen.

Can you talk some sense into Cheng Ling?

Uncle Shen.

[To the Leader of Mount Dagu Sect, Shen Shen]

[Dear Chevalier Shen of Mount Dagu Sect]

[Demolish the ghosts and cleanse the world] [It’s held on the 15th this month at White Deer Town]

The Exorcism Assembly is confirmed?

We finally have the chance to carry out

what Big Brother couldn’t.

White Deer Town?

The name sounds familiar.

White Deer Town is right outside Mount Qingya.

The first chief of the Ghost Valley, Rong Chang Qing,

is buried in White Deer Town.

We chose that place

so that we can exterminate the Ghost Valley

at once with this opportunity.

Uncle Shen, are you going to the assembly too?

I want to ask you about it.

If I was the only one here, I wouldn’t bother to be there.

I just want to fulfill the wishes of Big Brother and Fourth Brother.

Watching you grow up into adults and form your own families.

But Cheng Ling.

Although I don’t know

what kind of man is Zhou Zi Shu,

Wen Ke Xing would definitely return to the Ghost Valley.

What do you think?

Valley Chief, I deserve to die.

Who did you offend?

Why are you here to serve me as the scapegoat?

Yes... Serving... Being able to serve Valley Chief...

is... is my honor. Is...

Enough, get out.

Yes.

What are you afraid of?

No matter how fierce a ghost is,

as long as it finds the path to man’s world,

it will choose to become human again.

But I...

I hate myself for failing to

save them.

Luckily...

Luckily, I saved you.

But I didn’t take good care of you.

Aunt Luo.

Aunt Luo.

I always remember your kindness.

I really don’t understand.

Why are you going back to this place of misery?

Aunt Luo, I’ve remembered everything.

I thought I succeeded in resisting

the effect of the Water of Lethe

and remembered

all the murderers who killed my parents.

These years,

you watched me killed them one by one.

You must know it clearly.

But I was wrong.

The moment I drank the Water of Lethe,

my obsession was

that I led an evil person into my family.

I killed my parents indirectly.

Everything might end differently.

But it’s a different story now.

I’ve been the Chief of the Ghost Valley for eight years.

I’m alert in case anyone wants to kill me.

I have to come up with plans to kill others too.

Even after killing all the murderers,

I didn’t feel happy because I’ve finally taken my revenge,

but anxious and tortured.

I thought that was hatred too

because I didn’t take revenge on all the people

who pushed my parents down the cliff.

So I put all my effort to set up a trap.

An interlocking murder game.

Aunt Luo.

Do you know my initial plan?

Hanged Ghost didn’t steal my Glazed Armor.

I don’t have the Glazed Armor either.

I’ve killed him secretly long ago.

That was just an excuse.

Valley Chief!

My plan was to re-enact the Battle of Mount Qingya.

No.

I wanted to light a bigger fire

to burn up all the filthiness in this world!

Those so-called righteous sects in the martial arts world

are just greedy ghosts covered with human skin!

They should die together with the demons and monsters

of Mount Qingya!

I let you out to the martial arts world

and released the news of the Glazed Armor

all for this plan.

Once you enter the Ghost Valley, you’re isolated from the man’s world.

Whoever comes to Mount Qingya

for their desire of the Glazed Armor

will die here!

Ah Xing, what do you mean?

Are you...

Are you planning to die with them?

Since I set up such an evil trap,

I didn’t worry about too many things.

I didn’t consider

the number of innocent people who would die from this.

Because at that time, I thought

the world had turned its back on me,

so I wouldn’t mind killing everyone in the world.

Until later,

a man taught me something.

Hatred is the same as greed.

They are caging ourselves.

My parents

and even you, Aunt Luo.

You tried so hard to save me,

not to bury yourself in the past.

Aunt Luo.

I’ve made a deal with Scorpion King. We’ll get what we need.

Tomorrow onward,

I’ll ask him to

remove the poison in you and Qian Qiao.

Bring the girls from the Department of the Unfaithful out of this valley.

As long as we let go of our hatred,

we are in the human’s world.

Why should we cage ourselves up?

Since you’ve decided to let go,

I’ll bless you.

You have your own decision.

I’ve made mine as well.

I’m willing to

suffer in this Ghost Valley forever.
