Legend of Fei

Episode 1

One day,

you'll cross the serene Ximo River,

leave the old wonderland surrounded by mountains.

You'll see

countless unclimbed mountains collapse one after another

impassible oceans dry up consecutively.

Your fate is on your blade.

And you have to take it moving forward.

(My clansmen)

(must hold justice)

(In dire situation)

(we save the people in danger.)

(From injustice, we defend the common people.)

The Northern and Southern dynasties

People suffer from wars and chaos.

(All fortresses in joined hands,) To provide sanctuary to the refugees of wars,

(The world will be ours.) Li Zheng, the "South Blade"

(United by one promise...) built a fortress in Hunan.

It consists of 48 martial art sects.

After years in peace,

Fortress of Forty-Eight now teems with talents and prosperity.

Ximo River is the only unguarded pass within the Fortress of the Forty-Eight.

On the southeast tip,

cliffs rise up and are separated

by the broad Ximo River in between, a natural barrier.

Old Fisherman, Guardian of Ximo River.

No one has ever survived

my Spinning Wire Formation.

Anyone who dares to invade the Fortress will have no return.

(The Fortress of Forty-Eight)

This is Li Sheng,

the leader's nephew.

He learned his martial arts from the leader.

Isn't he great?

Yes, of course.

But I also heard among our peers, a lady called Zhou Fei is the best.

Which is better?

Hush.

Bravo.

(Li Sheng, Fortress of the Forty-Eight)

Excuse me.

Fei, you're early today.

Zhou Fei.

Let's fight?

Chicken out?

Sheng, forget it.

(Zhou Fei, Fortress of the Forty-Eight)

You asked for it.

It seems Zhou Fei is better with blade.

Who do you think is gonna win?

Bravo!

Bravo!

It's a tie.

Let's call it a day.

(Zhang ChenFei, Senior Disciple)

It doesn't count. One more.

Did you tear down the master's stairs?

You framed me for it.

Is there any evidence...

Fine, you win.

I'm done.

(Old Fisherman, Guardian of Ximo River.) Brat. You're dead!

Thanks.

What's wrong?

(Li Jinrong, Fortress Leader) What happened?

Ma Jili!

Ma'am.

Summon Chief Kou.

And reinforce the defense.

(Ma Jili, Steward of Fortress) Yes, ma'am.

Alarm from Ximo River.

Disciples, on me.

Yes. ChenFei!

Ximo River isn't easy to break through.

Could it be a distraction?

Take a squad and reinforce the front gate.

On alert.

The rest of you follow me.

Yes, sir.

Ximo River?

Well, I need to go check it out.

(Zhou Yitang, Fortress of the Forty-Eight)

The wind is rising.

Make away!

What are you doing here?

I'm going to see what happened.

Leave the security to us.

We got invaders.

Zhou Fei, don't put us out!

(Forbidden Forest)

Watch out.

Why are there spinning wires from Mingfeng Building?

It's all over the forest.

Don't make a fuss about it.

Do you know what spinning wire is?

The spinning wire is exclusive to Mingfeng building.

It's said the wire is extremely thin, light

And sharper than blade.

A disciple of our Fortress

Burst in to the Forbidden Forest by accident

Once his arms and legs touched the wird,

Crack!

The invader

has excellent footwork

He stepped on leaves

And stones in the formation

and crossed the river without activating with traps.

Astonishing.

You're trapped.

I don't believe it.

Zhou Fei can get in and I can't?

Who are you?

Why did you trespass on our land?

I'm Xie.

(Xie Yun) Named "Unlucky"

(Xie Yun) Also known as the Optimistic Man.

Xie...

Li Sheng!

The intruder goes to you.

Stop him!

(Kou Dan, An Elder of the Fortress)

Thanks, Chief Kou.

I almost got him.

Damn it.

It's alright.

He escapes to Ximo River.

Guard the forest and he won't get in.

(Hall of Elders)

How could you lose the intruder?

Aunt, it's my fault.

He escaped from my watch.

Actually, I caught up with him.

But he...

How dare you speak of it?

Ma'am, what did I do?

I asked you to apologize to the master.

Well,

you went out.

The master is your tutor.

You offend him now.

When you're fully fledged,

will you show no respect to your parents?

Why should I apologize?

I didn't tear town his stairs.

Don't talk back!

We'll deal with this later.

Forbidden Forest is full of traps.

Even I dare not to step in.

How dare you burst in?

The intruder went in.

I can't leave him alone.

He passed the spinning... Shut up!

You don't need to worry about him.

Go back to your study.

There's an intruder in the fortress.

How could I concentrate?

The Fortress of the Forty-Eight

doesn't need your protection.

Go back to your room.

Review your behavior.

You're grounded.

Aunt, the stairs were...

Sheng.

You do the same.

Go back to your room.

Go.

Zhou Fei.

Zhou Fei, I'm talking to you.

Are you deaf?

What?

You girl should be meek.

Why always waving your blade?

You're born in the fortress.

One day you're married.

You still have me,

no one would dare to mistreat you.

Why don't you say it to the leader?

Ask her to be a meek, sewing girl

Or I won't agree with you.

The fortress was headed by my family.

Without a capable leader, Aunt took over.

These things shouldn't be your concern.

It's nice of you to say so.

Those things shouldn't be your conern either, loser.

Who's the loser?

Whoever follows me.

(Hall of Elders) Parents' concern for their children

is so unpredictable

If Fei is half as obedient as Sheng,

I won't beat her anymore.

Fei seems stubborn,

but she knows what to do.

Don't worry.

I'm worried about Sheng.

After his dad passed away,

I place high hopes on him,

and teach him myself.

Hoping to hand the fortress over to him as soon as possible.

Sheng isn't gifted with martial art.

That's not a problem.

We can train him.

However, the kid is sentimental and distracted.

I'm worried one day on a whim,

he'll go astray.

Sheng!

(Li Yan, Fortress of the Forty-Eight)

You're leaving?

Exactly.

The fortress teems with talents.

I'm not indispensable.

The intruder is trapped in the forest.

There's nothing to worry about.

Aunt won't let you go.

I'll take way of Ximo River.

Are you insane? Sheng!

Did you forget a few light-footed disciples

Tried to cross Ximo River

They all were trussed up by the guardian

and hung along the cliff?

Sheng, you won't make across.

I'll have a try.

Aunt!

Let go!

Guard the area.

I'll take care of here.

They reinforced the defense.

How could I get in?

See you around.

What are you doing?

Sheng left.

Glad to know. Leave me alone.

Before he left, he said,

He... He wants to cross Ximo River.

What?

What are you doing?

Stay out of this.

The fortress is invaded.

You're making it worse.

Fine.

Stay and make yourself a heroine.

I'm leaving.

You really wanna leave?

That's odd.

I'm treated like an orphan,

yet I don't want to run away.

Why are you, the future leader

so eager to leave?

The scold and physical abuse

Are out of love from your parents.

But I...

Being the incompetent successor,

I don't give a damn.

Beyond the river,

there's a vast world

with countless martial artists.

I'll do my best

to make my own achievements.

Farewell.

Li Sheng!

Li Sheng!

Is it an auspicious day?

Two more to seek their doom.

The flow is unusual.

There's omething wrong.

Li Sheng!

Get back!

Li Sheng!

Beyond the river

is my world.

Why are the wires moving?

If I didn't kick you,

your leg would have been severed

from your body.

I didn't ask for help.

Leave me alone. Get up there.

It's too late.

We make across,

or we die.

If it's head, I'll save them.

If it's the other, I'll watch.

It's Heaven's will

that I stay out of it.

Sir.

The enemy is in the dark and you're on the bank.

I'm afraid the Ximo River...

Sit.

Have a sit.

Empty city stratagem.

If I stood guard at the pavilion,

would the brat come out?

The river is defenseless,

but the formation is fully on.

I'm sorry.

I used to boast as a man.

Disdain to hang out with you girls.

But now,

you'll die because of me.

Get over yourself.

You?

You won't be the death of me.

I came on my will.

If I die, it's suicide.

The intruder must be a top martial man

to pass the formation.

Leave me alone.

Go back and tell my mother.

If she meets him,

kill him.

It's easy to kill me.

But you have to stay alive.

It's you!

How is his footwork possible?

Are you human or ghost?

I weigh the options.

Human is a better choice than ghost.

He is the intruder I met in the forest.

Pardon me.

Good to see you again.

This is the core of the formation.

Get out now!

Which way?

Go southwest!

Go southwest!

Hey!

Why did you listen to the intruder?

An intruder who passed the formation.

Waterdemon.

The formation is moving again.

Go northwest.

What? Care to elaborate?

Bastard, don't touch my cousin.

I've never seen the formation fully on.

Sophisticated,

but it moves in pattern.

I guess the fish is in my net.

Alright. Time to draw it in.

Sir. Sir!

Ten years ago after Jinfeng was killed,

I asked you this.

What is it that we Li family are protecting

with our lives?

Aunt, Aunt!

What's going on, Yan?

It's Sheng!

He's gonna cross Ximo River.

Fei goes after him.

What!

Aunt!

It's said Old Fisherman is a 1000-year-old catfish!

If he catches them,

will he eat them up?

Mister,

Who are you?

You don't know me, do you?

I'm the old catfish.

Shut your mouth.

Go and help.

Like the waves in the river,

the young surpass the old.

You two kids.

What you did is such an eye opener.

I'm pretty old.

But I've never met a man who seeks his own doom.

Are you tired of life?

You passed my Spinning Wire Formation?

Forgive my impertinence.

I'm new in town and find no entrance.

This is the only way,

So I have to try.

I never expected the guardian

would be an elder from MingFeng Building.

I'm flattered.

Kid.

I can see

]you have talents.

And keen eyes.

And a good look.

But it's a pity.

You're not in luck.

Bless you.

If we didn't have a visitor,

I'd throw you two in the river

to sober up.

Is this your hospitality?

What's your name, sir?

My last name is Xie.

And first name, Yun.

You must be a master of Qianzhong Sect.

I'm just passing by.

I didn't help much.

Thanks to this lady's quick hand.

There is nothing but mountains here.

No landscapes.

I presume you didn't come for sightseeing at midnight,

did you?

Mother.

He could have stayed hidden.

Seeing that we triggered the formaton off,

he risked his life saving us.

Shut up.

We're rough, uncivilized people.

Our disciples are mostly rude and dumb.

Excuse us.

We're grateful for your help.

But I wonder what it is

you are looking for

in the fortress at midnight?

To be honest, I come to visit someone at request.

But your defense is so strong.

I have no options

but to do a thing so offensive.

Please forgive me.

Who are you visiting?

May I ask

is Lord Gantang in your fortress?

Who told you

the man is here?

The man who made the request.

What if he lied to you?

What he asked is of great significance.

If he intended to make fun of me,

it wouldn't be on this.

What else did he say?

He said he had a little friction

with the leader of the fortress, Mr. Li,

years ago.

It's not a big deal.

The leader must be busy.

We'd better not get him bothered

You're a dead man. You're a dead man.

Did Wang Lin ask you to come?

Exactly.

I didn't know

you're the famous Leader Li.

It's a great honor to meet you today.

What have you done

that got yourself this doomed job?

I would kill you

with my palm due to his name, Wang Lin.

I'm nobody

but an errand man.

how could I have anything to do with General Wang Lin?

Please don't joke.

Since you saved my daughter and my nephew,

we're even now.

Hand over the old bastard's token.

I'll have you escorted out safe.

I shouldn't disobey your order.

But,

why do you want Anping Token?

You're so candid.

Not even an excuse.

But General Wang Lin

gave this to me on his death bed.

I swore to Heaven,

I'd guard it with my life.

Wang Lin is dead?

Lord Gantang!

Sheng.

What happened to you?

Where are you hurt?

Chest.

Chenfei.

Double the guards on Repenting Hall.

Keep every living thing out.

Yes, ma'am.

Insolent girl.

Kneel down!

Leader.

Please stop.

No one could speak for her!

But...

The elders care you so much.

How could you do such a thing?

I'm not wrong.

Stubborn girl!

You let him go.

You let him go.

All I know is

he saved Li Sheng and me on Ximo River.

You told me when I was little

that my grandpa was a hero.

So am I.

Have you forgotten the strife

in the fortress ten years ago?

Put me down. Let me go!

Let me go!

Faster! Faster!

Here's what you want, Chief Tong.

Let me go!

(Tong Tianyang, Bloody Cricket of Demons Manor)

The Color of Ocean and Heaven.

Finally I got it.

Zhou Fei!

Uncle.
