Shishu...

- Calm down, Wuji! - Shishu...

Shishu...

Come back!

Witch!

Don't move!

Stop!

Wuji...

Shibo, Shishu...

Wuji, why are you with this witch?

Shibo,

we found Shishu Shenggu's body in the cave.

Shenggu...

You'll get yourself killed!

Shenggu...

Shenggu...

Shenggu...

Who killed him?

- I don't know. - Shenggu...

I just found him.

Need you ask? Must be that witch!

Shishu Liting...

Calm down! That's not what happened.

- Witch! - Shishu Liting!

Wuji, step aside!

Listen to me.

Miss Zhao did not kill Shishu Shenggu.

Don't be bewitched by her.

She killed your shishu.

Don't make slanderous accusations!

That's not what happened, Shibo.

Then tell me, how did Shenggu die?

I don't know. We just found him.

We? Are you her accomplice?

Don't you trust me?

Of course we trust you.

We just don't trust this witch.

We went into the cave to stay warm...

You went in and just happened to find the body?

That's too much of a coincidence.

Listen to yourself. Who'd believe you?

To think Shenggu doted on you.

While you still try to defend this witch.

I wasn't lying.

Someone else is the killer.

Witch!

Wuji, step aside.

We must avenge your Shishu.

Shibo, I'm willing to vouch for her with my life.

She had nothing to do with Shishu's death.

This witch's skill is not weak,

but she couldn't have killed Shenggu alone.

She must have had an accomplice.

Wuji, if you're innocent,

kill this witch at once.

Shishu!

Then let me kill her. Step aside.

Don't!

No, Shibo!

Zhang Wuji, how did we treat you?

How could you collude with this witch?

No, I didn't kill Shishu.

Hurry up and kill us all.

Brother Yuanqiao, Brother Lianzhou, Liting,

take a good look.

The person who wants to hurt us

is none other than our beloved Wuji.

What will it take for you to believe me?

It wasn't me.

How does it feel to be framed?

Only do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

Only you can wrongly accuse someone?

And others can't wrongly accuse you?

Did you kill Master Mo?

Yet they suspect you.

Did I kill Miss Yin?

You were so sure I did.

You're men of superior attainments,

how could you be so unreasonable?

If Chief Zhang killed Master Mo,

he would have killed all of you by now.

If he's heartless enough to kill Master Mo,

he'd do the same to you.

If you still won't do any introspection,

and falsely accuse us of being the killers,

I'll slap each of you in the face.

Don't insult them!

Wuji, even now, you won't stop

flirting with this witch!

How can you ever face your late Father,

Wudang and your Grand Shifu?

Zhang Wuji, if you have any conscience

kill us all.

I hereby swear

Miss Zhao and I did not kill Shishu Shenggu.

You won't believe me and I can't clear my name at the moment.

I hope you won't be angry with me.

The truth will come out eventually.

I will catch the killer

and see justice served for Shishu Shenggu.

What are you doing?

It's Song Qingshu and Chen Youliang.

Hurry! Stop Song Qingshu!

Remember what happened at the Maitreya Temple?

Brother Song, you like to leave without saying goodbye.

Trying to tip off your Father?

You want me to poison my Father!

Song Qingshu will not undertake something so shameless.

You dare defy the Chief's order?

You realize the consequence of betraying the Beggars' Sect?

I don't want to live anymore.

Every time I close my eye,

I can see my Shishu Shenggu's ghost.

If he killed me the other day,

it would have been the end of my misery.

Who asked you to help me?

I came by today

to kowtow to his body and admit my guilt.

Chen Youliang, go ahead and kill me.

Song Qingshu, let me ask you,

who kicked your Shishu in the chest? You or me?

I certainly don't know any Wudang skill.

Are you saying I was wrong to save your life and reputation?

Brother Song,

remember what you promised me?

As long as I keep quiet about your Shishu's death,

you'll do as I say.

You gave me your word.

How can you renege?

I'll do anything for you.

But if you want me to poison my Father and Grand Shifu,

I won't do it.

He who suits his actions to the times is wise.

I'm not asking you to kill your Father.

I just need you to drug them and let them sleep for a while.

What's wrong with that?

Save your breath.

You can't fool me.

I'm not that stupid.

You...

Spare me your lectures.

Come on, Brother Song.

If you really don't want to keep you word,

so be it.

I'll see you around.

Brother Chen...

I was stupid enough to make you angry.

I apologize. Please don't be mad.

I'll kowtow to you, my brother!

Now that's my brother!

I just need to put a clamp

on Patriarch Zhang and the other swordsmen of Wudang

so Zhang Wuji had to submit to us.

If you get them killed,

he'll seek revenge from the Beggars' Sect.

That won't do us any good.

I can personally guarantee

the swordsmen of Wudang will come away unscathed.

Brother Chen,

don't forget what you promised me.

Of course!

Once we have a hold on the Ming Cult,

we'll rise in power after we overturn the Mongols.

When the Chief becomes the Emperor,

you and I will become founding ministers.

Not only will you be rewarded,

even your Father will bask in your reflected glory.

I still would have betrayed Wudang.

Even if Father won't kill me,

I'm too ashamed to show my face.

Unless your Father is a God,

how else would he know about what happened?

After we take care of Wudang,

I'll plan your wedding so you'll finally get your wish

and marry Zhou Zhiruo.

I guarantee you'll be forever grateful to me.

I need to kowtow to Shishu and apologize to him.

Let me bury him before I hit the road.

You were riding on your horse

and fell down right here. Why is that?

Is it possible your Shishu won't die in peace

and his spirit is out for revenge?

It's best you don't provoke him further.

I'll send someone to bury him later.

Pardon me!

I was the suspect and couldn't defend myself

I hope you can forgive me.

Wuji,

I'm sorry we blamed you.

I was practically blind.

Can you ever forgive me?

Please don't say that.

I can't believe Qingshu did this! Why?

If he hadn't confessed,

who'd believe it?

That beast!

He colluded with the Beggars' Sect.

I will kill him to avenge Shenggu.

- Brother Yuanqiao! - Shibo!

Brother Song has been manipulated.

He's family, you must not be reckless.

That beast deserves to die.

How could I let him go?

Qingshu's evildoing

will not be tolerated.

But the pressing matter,

is opposing the Mongols, not Wudang's housecleaning.

There's no need to punish him now.

Wuji, I'm sorry I let you down.

I also let Shenggu down.

You saw

the savage beast I produced.

I'm too ashamed to return to Wudang

to see your Grand Shifu.

- Shibo! - Brother Yuanqiao!

- Let go of me! - Don't be reckless!

- Don't try to stop me! - Brother Yuanqiao!

- Calm down! - Brother Yuanqiao!

Give me the sword...

Stop blaming yourself.

Qingshu is a grown man.

He should be able to tell right from wrong.

It wasn't entirely your fault that he has gone astray.

Besides,

the Beggars' Sect is using him

to plot against Shifu.

Our top priority

is Shifu and the safety of the martial arts community.

- That's right! - Shifu?

The Beggars' Sect is using Qingshu to hurt Shifu.

These people are crafty and relentless.

What if they bring forward their plan?

Master Song, it's not the time to kill yourself.

If the Beggars' Sect is plotting against Patriarch Zhang,

you should hurry back to Wudang.

If anything happens to Patriarch Zhang,

you'll never forgive yourselves.

Wuji, Grand Shifu misses you.

Why don't you come with us

and spend some time with him?

I missed Grand Shifu too.

But according to Chen Youliang, after they finish with Wudang,

they'll let Brother Song get married

so he'll get his wish.

I'm afraid Zhiruo may be in danger.

I must look into the matter.

After I take care of this,

I will go back to Wudang.

Wuji, is Miss Zhou in the city?

When I went back to the inn yesterday,

I thought she has gone out.

Now it appears there's more to it.

You better go find out.

I hope nothing bad happened to Miss Zhou.

And those evildoers won't get their wish.

Wuji,

Miss Zhao is more vicious than a wolf.

You should learn your lesson from your Brother Song.

You must guard against her.

Wuji, we must get going. Take care.

Take care.

We'll wait for you in Wudang.

Where's my friend?

He left before dawn.

Wait...

He left you a letter.

Miss Zhao,

forgive me for leaving without saying goodbye.

Get well and take care.

Zhang Wuji!

What are you doing here?

Why did you leave me?

Worried that I'll be jealous of Zhou Zhirou?

Or I may hurt her again?

That hasn't crossed my mind.

Please go.

I wanted to hurt you before.

But after Green Willow Villa,

if I meant to hurt you again,

let me be condemned by Heaven and Earth,

and banished to Hell forever.

I knew I'd incur your wrath,

why would I kill Miss Yin

and hurt Miss Zhou?

You just don't believe me, do you?

How many times do I have to tell you I'm not the killer?

I believe you.

I believe someone else was the killer.

Really?

After I rescue my Godfather and Zhiruo,

I'll get to the bottom of this

and clear your name.

You finally believe me!

Miss Zhao, I'm not made of wood.

You repeatedly risked your life to save mine,

I'm grateful to you.

But you must listen to me.

I'm a Han and you're a Mongol.

If you want me to covet riches and fame

and serve the Court, it won't happen.

Whatever reward you bestow upon me,

I will never give in to tyranny.

You better not follow me.

Return to Dadu and nurse your wound.

You're concerned with

state matters and the difference between Han and Mongol,

power, reputation and rise and fall of a dynasty.

Zhang Wuji, in my heart,

I only care about you.

Zhiruo and I are engaged.

I will not go back on my word.

I don't care who you're engaged to.

I only know I want to be with you for the rest of my life.

It's impossible for us.

I'll meet your Father and brother

on the battlefield someday.

In the end, one shall stand and one shall fall.

If I were dead, that would be the end of it.

But what if I killed them?

What would you do?

Can you be with someone who killed your Father or brother?

Will you be happy?

No, I don't want to hear this.

This is something we must deal with.

Even if you don't want to listen or think about it,

it's still there, understand?

Don't be silly.

We're wrong for each other.

Forget me.

Zhang Wuji,

I'm willing to give up everything for you.

Why can't you give up everything for me?

Why...

When the Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara understood the Supreme Wisdom,

he sees clearly the five skandhas were but an illusion,

free from all sufferings.

Oh, Sariputra...

Princess, you have been praying all morning.

Take a break and have some tea.

No, my Mother told me

chanting the Heart Sutra can remove evil and gain wisdom.

Princess!

Gentlemen, can I help you?

No wonder we couldn't find you.

You've been busy praying.

Please come with us,

so we can report back to His Highness.

Tell my Father

I have retired from the martial arts community.

If he still thinks I'm unforgivable,

he's welcome to revoke the imperial token in person

and then sentence me to death.

I will not put up any resistance.

Place your bets...

- Small... - Big!

- Small... - Big...

- Come on! - Again!

Place your bets...

Big... we won!

Chief!

Brother Zhou, at the Maitreya Temple,

I saw Brother Zhu.

I didn't have time to rescue him,

please send someone to track down the Beggars' Sect,

we must save him.

There's no need.

Chief!

Brother Zhu! Are you alright?

Greetings, Chief!

Don't get up, you're wounded.

Chief, I was careless and was captured by the Beggars' Sect.

I'm sorry you had to worry about me.

The urgency of the situation prevented me from saving you.

That's an overstatement.

You must know your priorities.

If saving me delayed you in something important,

I can't be accountable.

Are you implying

the Chief didn't care whether you live or die?

I wouldn't dare, Brother Zhou.

To be rescued by the Five Wanderers,

I'm already eternally grateful.

Let me tend to his wounds.

- Prepare the anesthetic. - Right!

No need.

Why not?

You had nails all over your legs.

You won't be able to bear the pain.

That's what I need.

I need to remember this pain.

Go ahead, Chief!

Of all the people I have treated,

I have never seen anyone

who can bear such unbearable pain

without once whimpering.

I salute your enormous willpower.

You're destined for something big.

Thank you. You flatter me, Chief!

Easy...

Chief, our brothers are fighting at the frontline,

I can't possibly stay here and rest.

Thank you for saving me today.

I must get back to my command.

- Your legs look fine. - Come...

- You're walking fast. - Slow down.

- Might as well toss the cane! - Thank you, Chief!

Please escort him with care.

- Yes! - Chief, the doctor is here.

Too late, the Chief used his inner energy

to fix Brother Zhu's legs.

We met to ask him to stay,

but he's eager to get back in action.

Chief, the Five Wanderers lured the beggars away

and rescued Brother Zhu

and agreed to meet here.

We must think alike

I must thank the Five Wanderers

and the Chief for saving my life.

Brother Zhu, we're family.

No need to thank us.

Chief, before I go, I must say something

but I don't know if it's appropriate.

Go ahead.

It's about Miss Zhao.

Though her beauty is a feast for the eyes,

she's venomous like a snake.

I pray that you'll think of delivering the people

and stay away from her. I beg your pardon.

- Please... - Don't worry!

I made it clear to Miss Zhao.

If there's evidence to prove she was the killer on Divine Snake Island,

I will settle the score with her.

Good!

I hope you won't forget your promise

and disappoint our brothers.

There's one more thing...

while I was held captive,

I overheard

the beggars have captured Miss Zhou of Emei as well.

They have Zhiruo?

Yes!

Aren't you eager to go back to the front?

Stop dawdling.

You can't part with me or the horse?

Right! I'll take my leave now.

Take care, Chief!

The horse goes with him, you lunatic!

Hurry...

Place your bets...

Brother Zhou,

I asked the Five Wanderers to go to the Beggars' Sect Headquarters.

- Did you come back for something? - Yes!

I need to get this out of my system.

Maybe I'm gauging him with mean measures.

Who does Zhu Laosi think he is?

Whatever he wanted to say to you,

he didn't have to say it in front of everyone to embarrass you.

That righteous look

and earnest tone make me want to throw up.

- I want to... - Brother Zhou,

he means well.

Means well? Are you kidding?

He's resentful you saved that little witch and not him.

He holds a grudge.

Even when you attended to his wounds,

he's not grateful.

Your good intentions are wasted on him.

Let's not criticize our fellow brothers behind their backs, alright?

If I were the Chief,

I would have dragged him outside and beat him up.

So you want to be the Chief now?

Of course not! Who wants to be the Chief?

I'd rather be a wanderer.

Brother Zhou, you must understand,

the Cult split apart because of suspicion and jealousy.

We should all learn from that.

Of course I remember.

You have such a big heart,

you deserved to be the Chief.

You're back!

Why won't you come say hello to your Grand Shifu?

Grand Shifu!

The return of the prodigal son!

I'm sorry,

I defied Father's order and left Wudang without permission.

Please forgive me.

Did you know after you left,

I have been worried sick about you?

I thought you only care about Wuji.

Qingshu is nobody compared to him.

Qingshu,

remember when you were little,

what have I taught you?

Grand Shifu,

is that swordplay just now something new?

Yes!

You must mind your health if you practice in the rain.

- Let me put this on for you. - No need.

A bit or wind and rain can't hurt me.

Young men are less cultivated

and are more susceptible to the evil wind.

Grand Shifu!

Qingshu!

Remember when you were little,

your father often reprimanded you?

You were straight as an arrow even as a boy.

When an elder made a mistake,

you'd mercilessly point it out.

Though your father lectured you

about showing respect for your elders,

you wouldn't budge if you were not convinced.

I quite admire that quality,

choose what is good and stand firm.

You have the highest comprehension

among the disciples of your generation.

Promoting the skills of Wudang will inevitably rest on your shoulders.

I'm not worthy...

I'm afraid I will let you down.

The level of your attainment

is secondary to your conduct.

A man must stand tall and has a clear conscience.

The Wudang Sect was founded many decades ago.

I'm glad all my disciples have unquestioned moral rectitude.

We never had a black sheep in the flock.

This is one thing I'm most proud of.

Qingshu,

I remember when you were little,

you followed me to the bamboo forest after the rain,

to dig bamboo shoots while you listened to my lectures.

I'm now an old man.

We won't have too many days like that.

Now that the rain has stopped.

Why don't we take a stroll

down memory lane in the bamboo forest?

Don't drink that!

The tea has been poisoned.

I'm sorry, Grand Shifu!

I made a grave mistake. I'm a beast.

I'm a beast. Kill me, Grand Shifu!

Please kill me, Grand Shifu!

What have you done? Tell me.

I fell in love with Zhou Zhirou of Emei

and allowed Chen Youliang to manipulate me.

I...

I killed Shishu Shenggu

by mistake.

He held Zhiruo hostage

and forced me to drug you.

I'm so sorry... I let you and Shishu down.

I deserved to die.

Yuanqiao already told me about you.

Shifu,

I failed as a father

and produced such a

treacherous and unforgivable son.

I let you down, Shifu.

Father!

You have committed a treacherous crime.

If I don't kill you,

how can I face my dead Shidi?

Wait!

Shifu!

Qingshu still has a conscience.

Consider this a personal favor.

Give him a chance to make amends.

Shifu!

Grand Shifu!

I can tell you truly regret everything.

I hope you'll turn over a new leaf

and go on living.

Even if Shifu forgives you,

Wudang can't tolerate you.

Get out!

I forbid you to set foot on Wudang ever again.

I'll only see you in Hell when I'm dead.

Get out!

Father,

I can only repay the love and care you have given me in the next life.

Grand Shifu...

Get out!

Get lost! Now!

- Brother Wuji! - Zhiruo!

Zhiruo!

Zhiruo, where is Godfather?

I don't know.

They brought me here

and I don't know what happened to him.

They blocked your acupoint?

How odd? Why can't I unblock it?

So you're Chief Zhang of the Ming Cult!

- Brother Zhou! - Yes!

Yes! Sorry to barge in like this.

Please forgive me, Chief Shi.

The Ming Cult made such a bang lately, it's like thunder in my ears.

Where is my Godfather Xie Xun, the Golden Haired Lion King?

I wish to trouble you to bring him out.

But...

Chief Shi only means well

and invited him over as a guest to discuss matters of importance.

But he didn't appreciate our good intention and wounded our men.

We suffered heavy casualties.

Who should be held responsible for that?

If that's the case,

what about Miss Zhou?

Why was she held against her will?

As the Chief of Emei,

Miss Zhou is a leading figure among the orthodox sects.

We invited her over for a drink.

How can you say she's held against her will?

If she was your guest,

why did you block her acupoint?

Don't make slanderous accusations!

Everyone here saw you barged in and tried to molest her.

You kidnapped Miss Zhou

and she struggled

- so you blocked her acupoint. - Yes!

Nonsense!

All heroes succumb to the charm of a beautiful lady.

It's only human to have carnal desires.

But out in public Chief Zhang seemed a bit over anxious.

Such behaviour is beneath you.

Does that mean you're unwilling

to disclose the whereabouts of my Godfather?

Chief Zhang, the Left Messenger of the Ming Cult

raped and murdered Miss Ji Xiaofu of Emei back then.

Such behaviour makes one's hair stand on end

Is it possible because you're a formidable martial artist,

you wish to repeat such despicable act?

That's a lie!

Watch your mouth...

Miss Zhou, you can talk.

Don't let him slander the Chief.

Zhiruo, tell us how he kidnapped you and Godfather.

Coming from you, they can't deny it.

I was in a room...

- Miss Zhou! - Zhiruo!

The devil of the Ming Cult tried to rape the Chief of Emei but failed

so he killed her instead.

Wipe out the Malign Sect and rid the world of evil!

Wipe out the Malign Sect and rid the world of evil!

Chief, better catch the ringleader,

then we'll interrogate him.

Look after Miss Zhou!

Wipe out the Malign Sect and rid the world of evil!

Set up the Dog Slaying Formation!

Beg for water, beg for food...

Don't bully us stinky beggars...

Kill ferocious dogs and creeps...

Who'd dare bully us stinky beggars?

Kill ferocious dogs and creeps...

Who'd dare bully us stinky beggars?
