Messenger Yang, this is the manual for the Great Shift.

I can't take this.

Chief Yang's will stated clearly

Xie Xun should keep the manual

and turn it over to the new Chief.

That's why this manual

should be in your possession.

Chief Yang was heroic and wise.

But he died from internal injuries after he found out his wife's adultery.

Had we found his will sooner,

we wouldn't have suffered this major setback.

All because of Cheng Kun.

For decades, he has been planning how to ruin the Cult.

Though he was Xie Xun's shifu,

to get his revenge,

he resorted to hurt his own protege.

He's clearly vicious and calculating.

Heaven's vengeance is slow but sure.

He died in the hands of Yewang.

For the crimes he has committed,

dying like that has been too kind to him.

He should be shred to pieces

and let me suck his blood dry.

But you're able to bury the hatchet because of it.

That's a blessing in disguise.

Xiaofu...

Xiaofu...

Why?

Why?

Xiaofu...

Where are you?

Xiaofu, where are you?

Xiaofu!

Who are you?

Are you from Shaolin?

I'm Yin Liting of Wudang.

Have you mistaken me for someone else?

Chief, those clowns thought

Bright Peak was burnt down.

They're all gone.

Very well.

I took over as Chief in an emergency.

Now the crisis is over,

please choose someone else.

For the Chief position,

we have been fighting for years.

Now that you have earned our respect

how could you turn it down?

Why don't you choose someone else

to take your place?

But I'll state my case

other than you,

I won't support anyone else as the Chief.

If you turn us down,

I'm afraid the Ming Cult will revert to the way things were

and continue our internal strife.

Chief,

do you plan to risk your life again to help us?

Since you all insist,

I wouldn't dare decline again.

I'll continue to be the temporary Chief.

But I have 3 conditions

that you must agree to,

or else

I'd rather die than take the position.

What conditions? Do tell us.

The Ming Cult has been labeled evil

because outsiders didn't know better,

but also because we have a lot of members

and there are rotten apples in every barrel.

Those who show no discretion and resort to casual killing

will inevitably compromise our reputation.

Condition 1,

I want everyone to adhere to the rules.

Do good, rid evil and uphold justice.

Members of the Cult

must love each other like family.

Personal duels are strictly prohibited.

You can argue, but you can't fight.

I'll put Leng Qian in charge of discipline.

Those who disobey will be severely punished,

Even Grandpa, Unlcle Yewang and other elders

will be no exception.

Well said!

I agree! Well said!

That's how it should be.

Aye!

Condition 2

will be slightly more difficult.

There's widespread resentment between the Cult and the 6 orthodox sects.

Both sides have suffered casualties.

Starting now,

we should bury the hatchet

and stop seeking revenge.

But...

What if they come looking for trouble

and pick a fight?

We'll play by ear.

If they corner us,

obviously we can't be sitting ducks.

Your forbearance will be

a blessing for the martial arts community.

Condition 3,

is to obey Chief Yang's final order.

After his death,

let my Godfather Xie Xun be the temporary Chief.

We must get on it right away.

Bring Godfather back,

let him take over as Chief

and lead us to find the Holy Flame Tablet.

I'll be happy to step down

and you can't disagree.

But...

We have no leader for decades.

Now that we finally have someone like you

who is smart, brave and benevolent.

What if a fool came across

the Holy Flame Tablet by accident?

We had to make him the Chief?

Exactly!

Chief,

this letter was written over 20 years ago.

The situation has changed.

Of course we'll bring back the Lion King

and look for the Holy Flame Tablet.

But if anyone else becomes the Chief,

I'm afraid it won't convince us.

You must not disobey Chief Yang.

If you can't agree to my conditions,

I won't be the Chief.

But...

As you wish!

Fine, we agree.

Agree.

Messenger Yang, please pass the order

to send the Five Element Banners to summon all the members

to convey these 3 conditions.

Yes!

We'll split into three teams.

One team will stay at Bright Peak to rebuild Headquarters.

One team will visit the six orthodox sects

to inform them of the truce.

Even if we can't make friends, at least we can stop fighting.

The last team,

will follow me out to sea to look for my Godfather.

Great!

Who is it?

Xiaozhao?

Master Wuji!

What are you doing here?

I told you to stay with Grandpa at Bright Peak.

I'll go wherever you go.

No, it's too dangerous.

It's better for you to stay at Bright Peak.

I'm not afraid.

Please take me with you.

Very well... stop that!

I'll let you come along.

Really? Thank you, Master Wuji!

Alright, Xiaozhao.

Don't hold us up any longer.

Come along.

Let's go.

Shishu Liting!

Shishu Liting!

- Bat King... - Shishu Liting!

- Stay alert! - What happened?

Shishu Liting!

Shishu Liting, wake up...

How do you feel?

Where am I?

Wuji?

We found you seriously hurt on the hillside. What happened?

Do you remember how you were injured?

There...

...were 3 masked men.

I couldn't see their faces.

But they knew Shaolin martial arts.

I told them who I was

but they attacked me just the same.

I was drunk and couldn't defend myself.

I was injured by their Vajra Finger.

Shaolin has no quarrels with Wudang,

why would they do this?

I don't know either.

Don't dwell on it.

I'll get to the bottom of this.

Get some rest.

Worried about Master Yin?

Back then, my Shibo Daiyan

had his joints crushed

by Shaolin's Vajra Finger.

My parents felt guilty towards him

and committed suicide.

Today, Shishu Liting suffered the same fate.

If I don't catch the person responsible,

how can I ever face them

and my dead parents?

It's simple.

If they used Shaolin's skill,

we go straight to Shaolin.

Let the Ming Cult uphold justice for your Shishu.

If Shaolin agrees to hand over the culprit,

that would be great.

But the Ming Cult will go up against Shaolin

I just ordered everyone to stop seeking revenge.

Now that I have a score to settle,

I should not break the rule either.

You're very kind.

Don't worry. They provoked us.

We'll just go find out what happened.

- Come! - Xiaofu!

Xiaofu...

Master Yin, don't...

Xiaofu, I'm in so much pain...

Master Yin, look again, I'm Buhui.

Xiaofu!

Xiaofu!

Don't go with Yang Xiao!

Promise me, Xiaofu.

Please promise me.

Master Yin, you're mistaken.

Xiaofu...

Let me wipe your face...

Xiaofu, all these years,

it has been so tough.

I looked everywhere for you.

I went to Hell and back...

I finally found you.

Promise me, don't leave me again...

Can you promise me?

Alright... I won't leave.

I'll go get your medication.

You must take your medication, alright?

Yes...

Xiaofu is not leaving...

She won't leave me again.

I won't... I'll get your medication now.

Chief,

let's go to Shaolin as soon as possible.

Xiaofu won't leave me again...

Shifu, have some tea.

Why did you go to your room early?

I wasn't hungry.

I wanted to get some rest.

You missed that kid?

That's why you have no appetite?

You want to be like your Shijie Ji?

I wouldn't dare.

You know how she died?

You killed her.

She went astray.

She fell in love with that monster

and refused to make amends.

The Ming Cult killed her.

You think I was wrong to kill her?

Of course not.

You think I don't know what you're thinking?

- Shifu, I... - Say no more!

If you don't want to repeat your Shijie Ji's mistake,

you must promise me

if you see Zhang Wuji again,

you must show no mercy.

I wouldn't dare defy your order.

I don't understand.

With your skill, you can't possibly miss.

Shifu...

Forget it.

I didn't expect that kid to show up.

But I'm not blind.

I could tell at a glance

that kid is in love with you.

Might as well,

next time you see him,

you can catch him off guard

and kill him instantly.

- Shifu, he... - Zhiruo,

you wish to defy my order?

I'm thinking...

Zhang Wuji is not a member of the Malign Sect,

can we spare him?

Judging from his performance at Bright Peak,

he's definitely one of them.

Everyone related to him, including his Godfather,

is a member of the Malign Sect.

The Malign Sect is in his blood.

He can't possibly be good.

Manager,

do you have rooms for one night?

Yes, please go upstairs.

Uncle Song!

Uncle Song!

Miss Zhou, Emei is staying here too?

Zhiruo!

Brother Song!

Shifu, just now

I ran into the heroes of Wudang downstairs.

They came to pay their respect.

Greetings, Abbess!

Shouldn't you be at Bright Peak

enjoying your reunion with Zhang Wuji?

Abbess! Wudang should be proud of him.

Someone like him only shows up once in a 100 years.

Abbess, Wuji has a kind disposition. He stood up for the Ming Cult,

only to stop the endless killing.

I'm sure after the battle of Bright Peak,

the Ming Cult should be grateful to Wuji.

They'll listen to him and get back on the right track.

We'll see

whether the Malign Sect will turn over a new leaf

under Zhang Wuji's leadership,

or Zhang Wuji follows the Malign Sect

down a path of degeneration and rule supreme

If that day should come,

I will announce to the world

we have Wudang to thank for that.

Abbess, you should not be partial.

Zhang Wuji's actions do not represent Wudan's position.

We obviously have different convictions.

Zhiruo, see them out.

Yes!

Zhiruo, I...

Abbess...

Qingshu, say no more!

Father! Zhiruo...

You're awake.

The food is ready. Try it for taste.

Miss Buhui.

No more Xiaofu?

I remember everything now.

Xiaofu... is long gone.

Though you look a bit like her,

you're not her.

If I have offended you,

I'm very sorry.

It's alright. As long as you get well.

Can I ask you a favor?

Sure! Just name it.

Kill me!

What?

I'm an invalid.

I have nothing to live for.

Let me die so I can be with your Mother.

Don't say that. You must go on living.

Brother Wuji will cure you.

My Brother Daiyan has been bed ridden for years.

His broken bones and tendons have not recovered.

How can I get well?

I'm better off dead.

I beg you... please kill me.

Put me out of this misery. Kill me.

Please kill me! Hurry up!

In this world,

there are many things worth living for.

No!

Such as... this bowl of rice.

If you were dead,

you'll never get to taste my cooking again.

Not only me,

Brother Wuji cares about you too.

He's taking us to Shaolin.

He will seek justice over this.

What about your Shifu?

If he found out you're dead.

He'll be heart broken.

How about...

Promise me you'll go on living for a month.

If you still want to die after a month,

I'll put you out of your misery, alright?

That's enough!

How can you say that about Wuji?

Zhang Wuji can't tell right from wrong.

He made Wudang an accomplice to the Malign Sect.

For Wudang's reputation,

I'm willing to risk my life.

That's enough!

You pick on Wuji

not because he protected the Ming Cult,

but because you're jealous Zhou Zhiruo is in love with him.

For love,

you forsake your brotherly love within the sect.

I'm so disappointed in you.

We should leave this place at once,

so you won't make anymore mistakes.

Master Song!

Uncle Song, you're leaving?

We got word from Wudang.

We have things to take care of.

Take care.

Goodbye!

Qingshu!

Brother Yuanqiao...

Gentlemen, my master has heard so much about you

and would like to meet you at the villa.

Which sect are you from?

We're not. But the Chiefs of Shaolin,

Kongtong, Huashan and Kunlun

have gathered at the villa.

We'd be honored if you can join us.

Such hospitality!

What is your master's name?

Master prefers to keep a low profile

and is unknown to most people of the martial arts community.

So there's no need for you to know.

I don't socialize with people I don't know.

Besides, we have things to do.

I'm afraid we won't be going.

No one can stop us from leaving.

Nobody turns down Master's invitation.

Come with us, Master Song!

What's going on?

Qingshu, hurry back!

Get help from Emei! Go!

Yes!

Brother Yuanqiao!

Shifu!

Abbess!

Abbess, do you feel weak too

and can't use your inner energy?

A moment's oversight

landed us in this bind.

Who is it? Feeling dizzy?

Wudang and Emei are nothing but this.

Right?

We put Ten Fragrances Disabling Powder in your food

and you didn't know, Abbess!

You...

Master knew these two sects

are most insensible.

It's the only way to make them join us.

Come on, let's move!

Hurry!

- Move it! - Move!

Hurry!

Hurry up!

- Move! - Move it!

- Hurry up! - Stop dragging your feet!

- Move it! - Get up!

Get up!

These Mongol soldiers bullied the peasants in broad daylight.

Hurry up!

Chief!

Let them go!

You have a lot of nerve

to give me trouble.

Bandits appeared from all over

because of soldiers like you

who showed no compassion for the people.

My goodness, you're arrogant!

Kill them all!

Great archery!

Stay back or I'll kill her.

Let's go.

Wait! Our Chief wants to talk to you.

The Heavenly Sword?

Hey! I scared them off.

I'll get them so you can interrogate them.

The way that young man and those 8 hunters

got rid of the Mongol soldiers was a benevolent act.

Let's not offend them.

Besides, they're expert martial artists.

You may not be able to intercept them.

Young man? Look again, Chief.

She's obviously a girl disguised as a man.

Those archers seem to have a lot of respect for her.

I wonder who they are.

Judging from their skill,

it's hard to know their sect.

They're not with any sect in the Mainland.

They're Mongols.

I wonder why they have the Heavenly Sword.

Father said we'll rest for the night before we hit the road again.

This inn is rather shabby,

I hope you don't mind.

I've been such a burden.

Don't say that! Brother Wuji...

I mean, the Chief said

taking care of you is top priority.

I'll go check on the food.

You should get some rest.

Lady Boss!

Is any clothing store still open

at this late hour?

Are you Miss Yang?

Someone asked me to buy you this.

Who did?

Dinner is ready.

Come on.

Well?

Looks good.

I mean the congee tastes good.

You need not waste your money.

You practically gave away

all your clothing to those peasants.

You probably don't have a change of clothes.

They fit you rather well.

And the color is my favorite.

You don't have to be so nice to me.

Don't waste your money again.

You have taken such good care of me.

Buying you an outfit is all I can do.

That's my way of saying thanks.

You really didn't have to.

This is what I should do.

I ought to apologize.

Why? You haven't offended me.

If it's because of your Mother,

it's really not necessary.

My Mother let you down.

If she was still alive,

she'd want me to look after you.

You can't force love.

Your Mother did nothing wrong. And neither did you.

You need not make it up to me.

If that's the case,

I don't need your help. Please go.

The archers from yesterday.

You're right!

Chief Zhang!

Our Master admires you gentlemen

and ordered us to wait here for you

and invite you over for tea.

Looks like she knows who you are.

May I know your name?

Zhao Yishang.

Qian Erbai.

Injury and defeat?

Your Father couldn't have given you that name!

May I know the owner's name?

Her last name is Zhao. I dare not call her by her given name.

Her? She's not hiding anything

and seems quite sincere.

Since we witnessed your skills yesterday,

I've been hoping to make friends with you.

I didn't expect to meet you here.

I'm afraid all of us would be a bother.

Please don't say that, Chief Zhang.

You're all heroes of our time.

Master really admires you.

Since you're passing by,

we should offer you some drinks

as a hospitable host.

Chief, let's go check it out.

We can also try to find out about the Heavenly Sword.

But be careful.

In that case, I'm happy to oblige.

After you...

I feel so honored with this entourage.

If we had to fight,

you better be able to take them on.

We're not here to fight.

We're here for drinks.

Zhao Min of Bianliang, nice to meet you.

Hello!

Welcome to Green Willow Villa.

It's my honor to have you here.

Chief Zhang, Messenger Yang,

Master Yin, Bat King, after you.

Wait!

This is not right, little lady.

How did you know their names?

Everyone knows about the heroes of the Ming Cult.

But you have never met them.

How did you recognize them?

Have you met them?

No?

Pardon me, Master Zhou.

At the battle of Bright Peak,

Chief Zhang used his divine skill

to fight off the 6 orthodox sects and caused a sensation.

I have since then remember your heroic bearing.

Along the way,

I have played host to other heroes.

Why wouldn't I know about people I respect?

You recognized me too?

Of course! The Fiver Wanderers

are also very famous.

That's true...

Where is young Master Yin and Master Peng?

They're resting somewhere.

How dare you! I told you to show our hospitality.

Is this how you treat our honored guests?

Go invite them over.

- I'm holding you responsible. - Yes!

We wouldn't dare trouble you.

Let them get some rest.

You're over-cautious, Messenger Yang.

We ran into my Shishu Liting on the way.

He was seriously injured and cannot drink and needed rest.

I assigned someone to look after him.

That's why they were unable to join us. Please forgive us.

In that case, I won't insist.

About the injury and defeat.

Exactly how did they get their names?

Tell them your names.

Sun Sanhui. Li Sicui.

Zhou Wushu.

Wu Liupo. Zheng Qimie.

Wang Bashuai!

Great names!

One to eight...

Wang Ba (tortoise) is especially good.

I beg your pardon, Master Zhou. Follow me.

Let's go!

These names are so auspicious,

they're hard to imagine.

There's more to Zhao Min than we know.

She recognizes all of us

and also knows

we left Yewang behind.

Be careful!

Well?

Miss Zhao is good with the pen and sword.

I wrote this for fun.

Your Father was a brilliant calligrapher

and was known as Silver Hook Iron Brush.

Showing off in front of you,

is like teaching a fish to swim.

By the way,

may I have a sample of your calligraphy?

Please don't turn me down.

I'm embarrassed to say,

my Father died early,

I never had a chance to learn from him.

Chief Zhang, you're just being modest.

I only learned martial arts and medicine.

Never learned to write and draw.

Asking me to write is like killing me.

Smells great!

Longjing tea from Lion's Peak?

Messenger Yang knows about tea?

A little.

This tea is from the mountain range

near the West Lake in Hangzhou.

It's over 1,000 miles from here.

But the tea leaves seem awfully fresh.

You're quite the expert. Good tea for a good guest.

It's worth having it delivered overnight.

Please, Messenger Yang!

After you!

Gentlemen, you must be tired from your long trip.

The food is ready.

Please follow me.

After you, Chief!
