Lost Promise

Episode 01

Where there are people

there is Jianghu.

All sorts of people

are constantly fighting.

But generally there was peace,

until a strange person named Boye Jingxing

suddenly appeared in Jianghu.

This person was eccentric and perverse.

Word has it that

he is ruthless and has killed many people.

After learned the most powerful inner strength

through the Diurnal Heart Sutra.

He slaughtered a number of famous clans in martial arts.

Even his Master, Boye Feifan, and his home school

were wept out at his hand.

Therefore, all the sects regard him

as a mortal enemy

and chase after him.

At the same time they covet the Diurnal Heart Shura

of Boye's.

Both sides, the righteous

and the heretic clans found his trace

at the foot of Mt. Vulturesoar.

They fought hard to kill him.

Jiang Yintian, the Master of Wulin

Boye Jingxing, the Devil Lord

Only people form the Jiang family

are able to follow me till here.

Diurnal Heart Sutra will be yours

if you spare my life.

Compared to the Sutra,

the death of Boye Jingxing is nothing worthy of mentioning.

Little kid.

Are...are you Jiang Qingliu?

Who are you?

My first name is Great.

I'm Great Person.

You practised martial arts?

Of course.

My grandpa said I was doing very well.

Your physique is good,

but you're not practising well.

That's not true.

Look.

In the world of martial arts,

being fast is the key.

Suppleness and consistency

if of importance.

Try to tighten your left leg on the third move,

and move your waist with Qi on the fourth.

Then you can kick your two feet.

Let peace befall your heart

and calmness, your chest.

Let the Qi down your body.

Your heart is solid as jade

and light as shadow.

Look one way and row another.

Go through the passage of time.

Pebbles are swept along the ground.

Fire beacon along the border to signal alarm.

Sunlight bore through the rainbow.

Forces are to be used only for the maintenance of peace and order.

Temper force with mercy.

Dance Of The dragonfly.

Qi goes round in you days and nights.

Amberverde Mansion

Lord Nangong, thank you very much for

bringing the present to the Succession Ceremony

for my son in person.

You are welcome, Master.

The current state of affairs is in chaos.

With the threats of foreign invasions,

we can't afford domestic turmoil.

And you, the Jiangs have done a lot

to stabilise Wulin over the years.

You can take my presence in here

as a small token of gratitude.

Thank you, My Lord.

Why not stay since you've already come?

Let's finish the succession ceremony together.

It's alright.

I am just a scholar.

I don't understand the affairs on Jinaghu,

nor I wish to.

It's not proper for me to join in.

That's fine. I shall not keep you long.

Send the Lord back home.

Please don't bother.

I can just leave from the back yard.

I say that again.

The imperial court

better not has too much entanglement

with the people in Jianghu.

Understood.

Goodbye, Master.

I shall see you off.

Please.

Welcome.

Come on in.

Grandpa.

Jiang Qingliu, the New Master Of Wulin

Seems Hua Tingtao from Nineshadow is here.

Welcome.

Hello, Mater Jiang and Junior Master.

Grand Master Hua.

I haven't seen you for 10 years and you are still robust.

Looks like you've advanced in archery.

I wish, but I'm getting old.

I couldn't even keep balance with a triple crossbow in my hand.

I heard that little master has achieved the ninth circle

on Ghostimage Skill.

Such attainments on martial arts at such a young age

seem beyond the reach of us.

Thank you, Grand Master Hua.

Qingliu is flattered.

You have always traveled the border

and gained fame with excellent archery skills.

I heard that you once shot down nine eagles with one arrow,

and the sect Nineshadows became famous.

I'm flattered.

It's actually only five eagles.

Archery is no match to swordsmanship.

Speaking of swordsmanship,

we Sevenstars can match with

Ambreverde Mansion.

Swagger.

Master Jiang. Little Master.

Grand Master Baili.

Master Jiang.

After today,

you can finally have a rest.

It's indeed time to rest.

This is my son Baili Cichu.

Greetings, Master Jiang.

You're personable, indeed.

Little Master.

I just heard you have achieved great skill.

And I reached

to the seventh posture of Sevenstars Stroke.

Do I own the pleasure

to compare notes with you?

As to the mere swordsmanship,

a fight between Sevenstars and Ambreverde Mansion

will end in a draw.

So the comparison won't be necessary.

Qingliu.

Go see if your Grandma and Wanchan

are getting ready.

OK, grandpa.

Brother Baili.

Let's drink till all's blue.

You two. The front door is there.

Wanted to ambush me here?

I, the junior head of Foreveryoung City,

wish to play music and receive you at the front door.

But Gong Zizai told me that there were crowded.

So we didn't go.

So many people came today,

but I only know a few.

Some others are mere acquaintances.

And there is an annoying guy.

Why bother talking to them?

Quite right.

I just met

the son of the Head of Sevenstars.

That boy

was so impolite.

You mean Baili Cichu?

His old man is loud.

You expect him to be nice to you?

Brother Gong.

Long time no see.

I thought you weren't coming today.

How could that be?

Today is a great day for our little master, Jiang.

How could I not come?

But really,

these days are

great time in spring,

we shouldn't miss out.

Sister-in-law.

Wanchan.

I was just going to ask you about the dishes.

You?

We won't have anything to drink when you ask.

Come on, Yingxue, let's go for a drink.

Let's go.

I have tested out all the cakes and dishes

for the succession ceremony.

This is the menu.

Would you like to check it again?

No need.

Isn't it all already served?

I trust you.

Then I'm off now.

Qingliu.

There are so many guests today.

I'm sure they all want to toast you.

Be careful and don't drink too much.

I'll get you some hot water.

Take a hot bath when you get back in the evening.

It's okay.

You have been working hard these days.

After inviting grandma,

you can go back and have a rest.

You know,

after today

I will be the Master of Wulin.

There are still many things to deal with.

I have to go back to my study in the evening

to organise the thought.

If there's nothing more,

I'm going now.

Dragon Seal is presented.

All the heroes are gathered here today

in Amberverde Mansion.

Your presence makes this place glowing.

I would let to say this.

I'm on the post of Master of Wulin for 30 years.

And I have devoted myself to

defending the peace of Wulin.

However, I am getting old

and feeling too exhausted to take the task.

Fortunately,

the Ix. son of the Jiangs,

Jiang Qingliu is grown up.

Moreover,

he inherited the martial arts of the Jiangs.

He is both brave

and resourceful.

Capable to be the master of Wulin.

I have decided,

to officially hand down

the post to Jiang Qingliu.

For this,

we hold the feast today.

Firstly,

I hope you all can be the witnesses.

Second, that we can work together

to assist Qingliu

and defend justice in Wulin.

Here.

Let me propose a toast.

Master Jiang is the senior.

It's better to let me toast you.

Wonderful Kungfu!

The Dragon Seal should belong to the whole Wulin.

But I've seen twice

that it was passed on to someone of the Jiangs.

This is the third time.

Such boring.

I suggest we enjoy the drinks first.

Have a good time here.

My son doesn't know the rules.

We should toast Little Master first.

What do you think, Master Jiang?

This is good. Thank you, Mister Baili.

But Little Master is quite tied up.

It's not proper to drink a lot.

Besides, if you want to give a toast,

it's better to toast me.

Interesting. Yingxue.

Let me be the next.

My Lady.

My Lady.

Granny.

All the guests are gathering in the Center Hall now.

Qingliu asked me to invite you to come.

The ceremony will begin when you are there.

I can hear that it's quite lively outside.

I've prepared already.

I was wondering why you didn't come.

I've been preparing the meals in the kitchen.

Just delivered them.

And I met Qingliu just now.

So I came late.

So everything should be prepared in advance,

since you knew we would

have lots of guests here today.

After the ceremony,

Qingliu will be the Master of Wulin.

By then, there will be more occasions like this.

Let go.

What the hell!

Get me a cup here!

Wanchan,

you and Jiangliu have been married for 2 years, right?

Right.

All the heads of sects

are educating the next generation.

When will you

have a kid for

our family?

It's my fault.

I had

a hard life.

I've been one of the Jiangs long.

I thought I could be proud of Shaosang.

But never thought

he was killed

at such a young age by that villain.

Mister Baili.

Why are you so slow?

Don't you see I'm having fun?

Piss off.

Yes.

Pour the wine.

I'll be back soon.

Stay here and watch.

Be smart.

Yes, Master.

I lost.

Anyway,

the Jiangs must have offspring.

But

Qingliu is always occupied.

I can hardly see him.

For having the baby,

it's not up to me alone.

Impudence!

As a wife,

you don't reflect on why you can't see

your husband every day.

Yet dare to argue?

Granny is right.

I'm not a good wife.

Exactly.

Guests are waiting for me.

I have to go.

You go reflect on it.

You're here.

I come

to bid you farewell.

Why is here

one more Longer Life Pill?

You feed me 3 pills each time.

When you left,

I spat one out.

Now you come to feed me again.

It just makes me sleep longer.

It's been so many years,

whether I'm clear-minded is not important.

Here, open the mouth.

You are in your right mind now,

tell me the last 4 mantras

of the Diurnal Heart Sutra.

This tastes bad.

Do you want to have a try?

As for the mantras,

I've told you the first 4 mantras during these years.

For the last 4 mantras,

it's up to my mood and your performance.

Probably I will tell you in 10 years.

Little Master.

Or you can tell me

why I should tell you today?

Why?

Simple reason.

In 2 hours,

I will pass the Dragon Seal on to Jiang Qingliu,

which means

he will be the new Master of Wulin.

I would leave the mission of defending justice

in Jianghu to him.

There won't be any connection

between us.

But there is one thing

that I have to do today.

Although Qingliu has superb martial arts,

he is too kind

and has too little experience in Jianghu.

And you

are cruel and sly.

Once you escape,

you would be the greatest threat to Qingliu.

I'm his grandpa.

So I have to

solve this threat for him now.

Well, I give you two choices.

One,

tell me the last mantras

of Diurnal Heart Sutra.

I will teach Qingliu.

Your unique martial arts

would not be lost.

I will remain your body intact.

Or,

I will tear you into pieces.

You and your Diurnal Heart Sutra will disappear

from the scene in the Jianghu.

No one will know that any more.

Oh,

there is another thing.

It's been so many years.

I'm old and my hair has turned gray now.

But you never changed.

I want to know

the secret of longevity.

It's Longer Life Pill.

Try it.

Stop talking rubbish.

Tell me or not?

Do the sects in Jianghu know

that Jiang Yintian, the Master of Wulin, who they trust so much,

is such a sordid bastard?

Aren't you the Devil Lord?

But you know what?

I can kill you without without any more ado.

Jiang Yintian,

the Master of Wulin,

imprisoned me in this dungeon

in the name of justice

only for the Diurnal Heart Sutra.

Aren't you afraid that the Jiangs' reputation

would be harmed

if it were known to others?

Known to others?

How?

Hear from you or me?

Don't forget

that you are the Demon Lord in Jianghu.

You even killed

your master

and everyone in Chillecho Valley.

Boye Jingxing,

do you think people will

believe what you say?

There are lots of things

that people in Jianghu don't know.

What if the little kid of Jiang,

the new Master of Wulin,

knew that his dad

was not killed by me,

and his grandpa...

Everyone knows

that it was you who killed Jiang Qingliu's father,

my only son,

Jiang Shaosang.

Who is that?

Who is there?

Qingliu?

Grandpa.

What brought you here?

Granny is there.

She wants you to hold the ceremony.

You were not there,

so I was looking for you and found you here.

You've heard our conversation?

Grandpa,

I saw the rocks were shocked outside.

I was curious,

so I went down to see what happened.

Good you're here.

Here,

this is the Demon Lord in Jianghu,

of whom people turn pale at the mention, Boye Jingxing.

Not only were his Master and his home school wept out at his hand.

He is also the enemy of all the righteous fellows.

Today you'll succeed me as the Master of Wulin.

I want you to kill him.

To add to your prestige,

and

have it as a gift to all the heroes.

Defending justice

is your responsibility.

Don't forget

that your father was killed by Brahman Palm.

Kill him.

Then you can avenge your dad.

Was it really you who killed my father?

Didn't you hear that?

Master.

Since I stepped into Jianghu when I was 14,

my grandpa has told me

that you, Boye Jingxing,

killed my father.

And...

The Master who has taught you martial arts since your childhood.

Great Person.

Sheer nonsense!

Since I was small,

I've been practicing Ghostimage Skill

and Cracking Stroke of our family.

Those skills you taught me

are some little tricks to fool others.

Ghostimage Skill?

Only kids would think it's awesome.

Your grandfather is only at the eighth level now.

If I hadn't given you directions for your cultivation,

would you have been better than your grandfather?

I admit

you've taught me a lot.

So I didn't come at once

to revenge on you

the moment I knew you killed my father.

Just be blunt.

Was my father killed by you?

If I killed your father?

Yes.

You're no longer that little boy.

What did you say?

You didn't kill me

is not because I taught you martial arts.

The reason is you didn't buy all your grandfather's words,

right?

May I have your name, this lady?

Which sect are you in?

You were not invited to the ceremony.

What brought you here?

You don't need to know my name.

I'm of no sect.

Today I'm here

to mess it up.

Who is she?

Hey, hellcat,

you're little but have a lot of guts.

Today's the succession ceremony of the new Master of Wulin.

How dare you say that here!

Do you know who are those present?

I don't care.

You're all trash in my eyes.

Of course, you included.

You're dead meat!

Only the one with the supreme martial arts

can be the Master of Wulin.

I'm here to challenge.

Compete on martial arts or drinking capacity?

It's really not you

who killed my father?

I'm telling the truth.

It's just

I'm not clear about

who killed him, either.

Back then in Mt. Vulturesoar,

I got hurt by some hidden weapon.

Before I fainted,

there were five people alive.

And I was right here when I woke up.

Only your grandfather

and I survived.

Believe it or not.

I didn't kill your father.

Little Master.

A woman of nowhere came to

challenge the Master of Wulin.

She is fighting Mister Mei.

Master is worried,

and asked you to go back.

Okay. Tell grandfather

- I'll be back. - Okay.

Let's talk later.

Hold on.

Jiang Qingliu.

You seemed unable to use your sword in full force just now.

It doesn't matter if you were just overwhelmed by anger.

But if it's not like that,

I'm afraid there is something wrong with your cultivation.

How could it be?

It's Ghostimage Skill,

a decent cultivation method.

Even I can't get the most out of it,

I won't get hurt.

Anyway,

no matter how you're gonna deal with that woman,

Don't make your Qi run through atrium.

Or you would be possessed.

There are ways to deal with it, of course.

You'll come back.

We can compete.

But using hidden weapons is sorta dirty.

He used Iron Fan as his weapon.

Why can't I use Drizzling Needles

as hidden weapon?

Alright.

This lady.

Since you wanna challenge the Master of Wulin,

the let's have a fair competition then.

Do our level best.

So, you're the new Master of Wulin.

Quite imposing.

However,

I've been in two fights.

Kinda beat.

I wanna have a break.

Hellcat!

Stop playing tricks!

How about this?

I won't hit back

for your first three attacks.

Okay.

If you're offering.

Father.

This is Nineshadows Stroke.

The swordsmanship is nothing to be worried.

But the nine sword shadows...

Can Qingliu manage it?

Don't worry.

Who's that?

Save her.

Got it.

I'm impressed by

Jiang's Nineshadows Stroke.

It's easy as a pie for him.

Externally, bones and muscles are built.

Internally, Qi are cultivated.

You can't

even get a strong build.

Let alone knowing how important Qi is.

If I hadn't saved you,

how would you survive talking about Qi here.

What?

Finding the gap between you and Jiang,

you're upset?

No.

Although he attacks fast,

the power...

Normally, the movement just now

would make him win.

Just the level five of Ghostimage Skill.

Watch out, Jiang!

She is dragging it out.

Careful.

Qingliu.

Kill the hellcat now.

All masters,

please come to the dungeon with me.

Okay.

Up.

Jiang, are you alright?

Get me to the dungeon.

Let's go.

Okay.

Unknown men again.

Can't tell their sect.

Must be partners of that hellcat.

Boye Jingxing has been imprisoned

in the dungeon of the Jiangs.

It's known to the whole Wulin.

Surely someone would eye covetously.

But it's fishy.

Why they chose

to rescue Boye Jingxing today?

Whatever.

They didn't get Boye Jingxing.

He killed them and escaped.

Grandpa.

Boye Jingxing escaped?

Qingliu, you got hurt?

No.

When I was fighting that hellcat,

I meant to use Flying Spark,

but...

Jiang Qingliu.

You seemed unable to use your sword in full force just now.

It doesn't matter if you were just overwhelmed by anger.

But if it's not like that,

I'm afraid there is something wrong with your cultivation.

How could it be?

It's Ghostimage Skill,

a decent cultivation method.

Even I can't get the most out of it,

I won't get hurt.

But I had a lapse,

and she got away.

Yes, she has subtle movements.

She suddenly attacked me,

in order to save me,

Qingliu got kicked by her.

Excuse me, masters,

please wait for me in the Center Hall.

I've to take care of my grandson first.

Qi and blood stasis.

Qi disorders.

He is suffering Qi deviation.

Qingliu, except Mei Gong and Yingxue,

who else knows your internal energy is damaged?

No more.

When I was practising my swordsmanship the other day,

I felt a lack of strength,

and hurt in my atrium.

And I took a risk to flow Qi through atrium

so as to use Flying Spark.

Then felt sharp pain of extremities,

and a lack of strength.

Shang Xin.

Tell me,

how is Qingliu's injury?

Shang Xin.

Just say out.

It's okay.

I can keep you alive.

But you have your meridians damaged,

and get Qi deficiency.

I'm afraid...

What?

Maybe you can't regain your martial arts.

Shang Xin.

Ambrosia Valley is the best herb valley in Wulin.

You and your father

are regarded as the greatest physicians.

Can't you heal Qingliu?

You Jiang's family always help us.

Qingliu and I are childhood friends.

If I have a way,

I won't hesitate to do it at all costs.

But the Ghostimage Skill is not of the common run.

And you've got to level nine.

Such strong internal energy

is really beyond my control.

Now you can do nothing

but build up your health

to keep yourself alive.

As one of Wulin,

I'd be like a dead loss without martial arts.

Why should I keep alive?
