[The Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils]

[Episode 16]

Chief Qiao.

Think before you act.

You mustn't act recklessly.

If you incite a war between the Hu and the Han,

everyone in the pugilist world will go against you.

Incite a war between the Hu and the Han?

(After discussing with Brother Sword Beard for days, )

(he remained determined to step down from his position as the chief.)

(However, after much thought and discussion, )

(we still fail to come to an agreement.)

(Qiao Feng has extraordinary skills)

(and has contributed a lot to the sect.)

(He is courageous and bold.)

(He is a rare talent even in this pugilist world.)

(That is why he was chosen to inherit the position.)

(With him in charge, we are sure that the Beggars' Sect)

(will only grow stronger.)

(However, during the battle at Yanmen Pass, )

(he sat out of it for days.)

(This man is not one of our kind.)

(His parents were killed by us.)

(All will be fine if he never finds out about his past.)

(Or else, the Beggars' Sect will be ruined in his hands.)

(And a calamity will fall upon the pugilist world.)

(Now, few in the pugilist world)

(can be his match.)

(The Beggars' Sect)

(should not be placed under an outsider.)

(But this is a grave matter.)

(Please consider it carefully.)

This was written by Chief Wang.

I'm sure you can recognize his handwriting.

(Deputy Chief Ma, )

(Training Elder, Disciplinary Elder, )

(and all other elders, )

(if Qiao Feng betrays the Han)

(and helps the Khitans to topple Song, )

(the sect should unite and eliminate him.)

(Do not keep him alive.)

(Do whatever you can to put an end to him.)

(Merits will go to the one who kills him.)

This is indeed my master, Wang Jian Tong's handwriting.

Please don't blame us for being rude.

Deputy Chief Ma was the only one

who knew about Chief Wang's decree.

Until he died suddenly.

Kang Min found this decree.

We had no choice but to make this decree public.

Deputy Chief Ma was fine

until Chief Wang handed over this decree to him.

That is the first reason.

Everyone suspects

that the Murong Clan is responsible for Deputy Chief Ma's death.

Young Master Murong, I really admire you.

- Come on , let's drink. -Come on

Come on.

But you took his side.

Your actions have put our sect in danger.

This is the second reason.

As for the third reason,

although I had intended to investigate it properly before I make a decision,

everyone has found out

that you have Khitan blood in your veins

and it has created chaos.

It's pointless to keep it a secret now.

Quan Guan Qing.

You know that I'm a descendant of Khitan.

So you are going to oppose me.

Yes?

Yes.

The four elders

want to kill me because they believe in you.

Is that also true?

Yes.

But they are not sure

and can't make a decision.

And now, they are acting cowardly.

How did you find out about my lot.

This involves other people.

I'm afraid I can't tell you that.

But you have to know this.

A secret cannot be kept forever.

Even if you try your best to hide it,

it'll eventually be exposed.

Moreover, we have Chief Wang's handwritten decree

and Reverend Zhi Guang and the others as witnesses.

Do you think I can make this up?

The Beggars' Sect has been around for centuries.

We can't hand it over to a Khitan.

Khitan? What does he mean?

What is this about the Khitans?

Fellow brethren.

My husband has unfortunately passed away.

For now, we cannot be certain

who the murderer is.

My late husband was sincere and kind.

He had no enemies in the martial world.

I can't think of someone

who could be so cruel and ruthless to kill him.

As the saying goes,

an open door may tempt a saint.

Could it be that he was holding something important

that led to someone murdering him to keep him silent

for their own benefit?

Are you suspecting me of killing Deputy Chief Ma?

Mrs. Ma.

I have a question.

But I'm not sure if I should voice it out.

Do you have a question to interrogate me with?

I wouldn't dare to interrogate you.

However, earlier, I heard

that Deputy Chief Ma's will was sealed with sealing wax.

But when Elder Xu opened the will,

the sealing wax was still intact.

That means no one

would have seen the contents inside until just now.

That's right.

If that's the case,

then only Deputy Chief Ma had read

the leader's letter and Chief Wang's decree.

So it's impossible that someone murdered him to silence him.

May I ask who are you?

Why are you interfering with our sect's issue?

I'm merely a woman.

I wouldn't dare to do that.

But since you are accusing our young master of murder,

naturally, I have to analyze the matter carefully and logically.

Who is your young master then?

Chief Qiao?

No.

It's Young Master Murong.

I see.

Elder Bai.

We have strict rules.

If an elder breaks a rule,

how should we punish him?

If he knowingly violates the rules,

he'll be doubly guilty.

What if his position is higher than yours?

Our sect's rules are set by our ancestors.

No matter the seniority and the position.

Everybody has to abide by the rules

and receives the same reward...

And the same punishment.

A few days after my husband's passing,

I accidentally discovered this.

I'm sure you recognize it.

Fellow elders and brothers.

Please uphold justice for me.

"The first snow is falling upon the Yanmen Pass.

The rage and chaos of the war trample across the sand and land."

(Gain merits by killing and capturing the enemies.)

"Fight your way to Loulan to repay your country."

I'll give this fan to you.

He is not one of us.

He has no loyalty to us.

Oh, Chief Wang.

You've made a grave mistake.

Although Chief Wang considered me a loyal follower and his confidant,

he never told me

about his secret decree.

If only he had told me...

Elder Xu.

Chief Wang didn't tell you about this

for your own good.

In the Beggars' Sect,

only Da Yuan knew about this.

Now, he has been killed.

If you knew about it,

you might have met the same fate.

Even I cannot be certain of where I came from.

But today,

all of you are pointing your fingers at me.

I will get to the bottom of this.

I will step down from my position

as the chief of the Beggars' Sect.

This staff had been passed down to me by Chief Wang.

Although I have not achieved much

since I took over the position,

I have not made any grave mistakes either.

After I step down,

Elder Xu, Training Elder, and Disciplinary Elder,

please take care of this staff.

If you find a great hero to shoulder this responsibility in the future,

give this to that person.

You are right.

We can settle this Dog Beating Staff issue in the future.

Wait!

What do you have to say, Song?

I don't think Chief Qiao is a Khitan.

How so?

Chief Qiao is a noble and righteous hero.

We went against him just now.

He didn't hold a grudge against us

and was willing to step down for the sect's sake.

Tell me, would a Khitan do that?

He was brought up by the monks in Shaolin

and Chief Wang.

He had been guided by them and his nature has changed.

If that's the case,

he is no longer evil.

Why can't he be our chief?

Moreover, look at our Beggars' Sect.

Who else here is as heroic and as powerful as him?

I won't accept anyone else to become our chief!

Us too!

Me too!

Someone is trying to frame Chief Qiao.

We can't simply trust their words.

This matter happened decades ago.

Yet a few of you only raised the issue now.

How do we know if it's true or not?

How can you simply ask the chief to step down?

I swear my loyalty to Chief Qiao.

Even if you have someone else leading the sect and have me killed,

I won't accept this!

We don't accept this!

All right.

Those who are willing to support Chief Qiao,

- stand behind me. - Yes.

Get over here if you trust Chief Qiao!

We'll support Chief Qiao. Let's go!

Yes. We support Chief Qiao!

- I support Chief Qiao too! - Support Chief Qiao!

We support Chief Qiao!

- Chief Qiao! - We support Chief Qiao!

We support Chief Qiao!

My fellow brothers.

Chief Qiao is extraordinary and heroic.

Everyone admires him.

But as citizens of Song,

how can we take orders from a Khitan?

The more powerful Qiao Feng is,

the more dangerous it is for you.

I think you look more like a Khitan.

Yes! You cunning sycophant!

All of you are good men who serve the country.

Do you really want to become the traitors of Song?

Who are you calling traitors?

You are the traitor!

Who are you calling traitors?

- We are not traitors! - You are!

You are the traitor!

- You are the traitor! - You are the traitor!

How dare you call us traitors!

How dare you call us traitors!

You are the traitor!

Yes! You are the traitor!

How dare you call us traitors!

You are the traitor!

How dare you call us traitors!

I've made up my mind

to step down as the chief.

Maybe there are other reasons.

Maybe someone is framing me.

But nobody will be able to forge

Chief Wang's handwriting.

The Beggars' Sect is the strongest sect in this pugilist world.

We are respected.

We are awe-inspiring.

If we have internal strife,

we'll become a laughingstock.

Before I leave,

I have a few words for all of you.

If someone attacks any of you from the Beggars' Sect,

that person will become our enemy.

What if someone kills any of you from Beggars' Sec?

Whoever hurts any of you,

it'll be a grudge we hold forever.

A life for a life.

That's good then.

Mrs. Ma.

With my skills,

if I want to steal something from your manor,

I will not fail.

And I would not leave any of my personal belongings behind.

As for the person who murdered Deputy Chief Ma

and stole my fan to frame me,

I'll get to the bottom of it.

Brethren.

No matter if I'm a Han

or a Khitan,

in this life of mine,

I will never kill a Han.

If I break my vow,

may I end up like this stone.

Brother!

Dear elders and brothers,

I shall rely on all of you

to avenge my late husband.

I'll take my leave now.

Mrs. Ma, my condolences.

We'll do our best

to avenge Deputy Chief Ma.

Please rest assured.

Elder Xu.

Everyone.

I will take my leave now.

Elder Xu.

My fellow heroes.

I'll take my leave too.

Farewell.

Elder Xu,

my wife and I will take our leave now.

Juan! Juan!

Farewell. Juan!

Wait for me!

Fellow brethren.

We will have to discuss and make plans

on how to avenge Deputy Chief Ma.

What a joke.

The Beggars' Sect promised us to meet on Mount Hui.

But you bailed.

It turns out all of you are hiding here.

Elder Xu.

We accidentally missed a meeting due to unforeseen events in our sect.

And now, the other party is here.

But I had sent someone to Mount Hui

to postpone the meeting to a week later.

We agreed on the date and time.

You can't just delay it.

Even an hour late is not acceptable!

What gives you the right to decide that?

Don't move! Nobody moves!

Step back! Don't move!

Don't move!

Who are they?

Why are they here?

I think they are the First Class Hall of Xixia.

Xixia built up their army

because they want to conquer Song.

Yes.

I heard that the leader of the First Class Hall is a prince.

He was granted the title of East General.

They call him He Lian Tie Shu.

[He Lian Tie Shu, General of Xixia] Arrival of the East General of Xixia, He Lian Tie Shu.

He knows that the Beggars' Sect is one of the pillars of the pugilist world.

As the saying goes, "If you want to destroy something,

you have to show them what you are capable of first."

That is why they set a time

to meet with Chief Qiao.

They've planned everything to their benefit.

First, they take us down.

Then, they'll destroy all the other major sects in the central plains.

After that, they'll cross our borders

and attack the country.

Or they will use this

to threaten our government for more.

What a sinister strategy!

Where is your chief?

Why has he not come to greet us?

Our chief is not here.

In his absence, I'm in charge.

We are only humble members of the pugilist world.

Such a grand courtesy from you

is too much for us.

Please pay a visit to the officials and imperial court of Song instead.

If you are paying us a visit as a member of the pugilist world,

you will be our guest.

Please dismount from your horse to greet your host.

Since your chief is not here,

our general can't show you the same courtesy.

That's a nice staff.

I can use it to make a sweeper.

Attack!

Come on! Come!

- Wrong timing. - What are you doing?

Are we going to attack or not?

Come on!

Who wants to be killed by me first?

My disciple.

Why are you here?

Aren't you going to kowtow to your master?

Third-in-command Yue.

The chief of the Beggars' Sect is my sworn brother.

So All of them here are your grand martial uncles.

You mustn't be rude.

Ladies. He is my disciple.

The Nanhai Crocodile, Third-in-command Yue.

Third-in-command Yue.

Aren't you going to kneel?

Have you forgotten about the rules of Nanhai?

Greetings, Master!

Very good.

Enough! I'm not going to fight anymore!

You can fight them yourself!

Is he out of his mind?

Our general wishes to see the Dog Beating Staff Technique

and the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms of the Beggars' Sect.

Let's see if you beggars are really good

or if you are just good at bragging.

Hurry up and show us.

The Four Evils are quite famous in the pugilist world too.

But you have accepted Xixia's bribe

and become Xixia's lapdogs now?

All Three Evils are here.

Where is the Overflowing with Evil, Duan Yan Qing?

Why should we tell you

about our relationship with the First Class Hall?

Qiao Feng is not here.

There's no need for our leader to be here

to take on you beggars.

The two of us can handle all of you.

I'll fight you.

I'll fight with him.

We only show our sect's main technique to those who are worthy.

to those who are worthy.

There's no need to use the Dog Beating Staff Technique to defeat a pawn like you.

to defeat a pawn like you.

Take this!

He's using the Twenty-Four Devil Staff Technique.

But he hasn't mastered it.

Besides, he's too short.

You can defeat him by attacking the right side of his lower body.

But the taller one seems to think that the shorter one is very stable.

But that's not the case.

Young Master Duan.

The Beggars' Sect chased away your sworn brother

and they've wronged my cousin.

I hate them.

You are a beautiful girl.

Moreover, you are perceptive.

- You would make a suitable wife for me. - You wish.

- a suitable wife for me. - You wish.

Why would I marry you?

Why not?

So you have a lover, do you?

I'll kill him first.

Then, let's see if you'll marry me.

Elder Wu's Six Combined Sword Technique

and Eight Trigrams are indeed amazing.

But the tall one knows the Snake and Crane Arts.

I'm sure he can defeat him with his bare hands.

Miss Wang.

It seems that the tall one has fallen into the trap I set up.

He might get his left arm cut off.

Are you okay?

Thank you, Miss.

Elder Wu, what an excellent Three Unique Sword Technique.

Great!

General.

That Han girl over there is peculiar.

We should capture her and force her to tell us everything she knows.

She'll be useful to us.

Good idea.

Go and capture her.

Yes, General.

Elder Xu.

Our general wishes to see the Dog Beating Staff Technique and the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms.

Show us if you know.

If you can't, then we won't waste our time here.

We'll take our leave now.

The people of First Class Hall boast

that they have the best martial arts skills.

But they are hardly better than the common folk.

You don't deserve to witness the Dog Beating Staff Technique

and the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms.

Yes! You don't deserve it!

You don't deserve it!

Then what should I do to be worthy of seeing them?

This is bad. They've released poison in the air.

You... I'll fight you to death!

You! Bring me those beggars!

As for this lady...

What are you doing?

Zhu!

Miss Zhu!

Chase after him!

Hurry up! Go get them!

After them!

Don't let them get away!

Stop!

Stop!

Stop! Don't run!

Sir. Although our shop is small,

Drink these first. I can get you more if they are not enough.

Fresh vegetables. Come and take a look.

Miss Wang. Are you all right?

I've been poisoned.

I have no energy left.

What should we do?

Where can I find the cure?

I don't know.

Get the horse to keep running.

We'll talk when we reach somewhere safe.

All right.

Sir. May I know what is your name?

Where do you live?

Do you need me to send you back?

I don't even know what my surname is.

Where is my home?

Sir...

Sir.

The first snow is falling upon the Yanmen Pass.

The rage and chaos of the war trample across the sand and land.

Gain merits by killing and capturing the enemies.

Fight your way to Loulan to repay your country.

Sir! Have a safe journey!

Miss Wang.

(We ran into danger together today.)

(I'll do my best to protect her.)

(If I die for her, )

(I'm sure she'll remember me sometimes)

(for the rest of her life.)

(When she marries Murong Fu in the future and have children,)

(and have children, )

(perhaps she will tell them)

(of what happened today under the melon trellis.)

When that happens,

you'll tell your daughter...

What daughter?

Nothing.

I was just talking nonsense.

It's cold and wet here.

We can't stay here.

Miss Wang. I think the rain is getting lighter.

Let's find a safer place.

Miss Wang.

We don't know what poison they used.

If only I can get the cure.

I'm not in pain.

I'm just out of energy.

Let's get inside first.

Miss... Miss Wang! I'm sorry.

- You... Are you all right? - Young Master Duan...

Are you all right?

I'm fine. I'm perfectly all right.

It doesn't matter even if I got hurt.

Let me help you up.

I'm sorry, Miss Wang.

I am so clumsy.

This place...

Is there anyone here?

I don't know.

Be careful.

Anybody here?

Anybody here?

Young Master Duan! Come back.

What's wrong?

Miss Wang. Wait here for me.

Excuse me. Excuse me.

Sorry for disturbing you.

We are only here to ask for some food.

If you need to do anything, go ahead.

Just ignore us.

I'm fine. It's all right.

What nonsense are you talking about?

What's wrong?

How could they do that... in front of us...

in front of us...

What?

Miss Wang. Your dress is dirty.

And you are all wet.

What should we do?

Miss. I'm all wet.

I just want to change into some clean clothes.

How about this?

Will you take this hairpin in exchange for some clean clothes?

Will that do?

Go.

Move aside. Miss, hurry up.

Go. Go.

Miss, come with me.

Miss Wang. Be careful.

- Miss Wang, be careful. - Be careful.

Be careful.

What are you looking at?

I'm looking at my wife.

Anything wrong with that?

No. No problem.

Sir. Put on your clothes first.

Miss. This is my best dress.

Although, it's a little bit worn.

If you don't mind, please put it on.

Miss.

You are willing to help me when I'm in trouble.

I should thank you.

I wouldn't mind.

They must be hiding inside this dye house.

Search it!

Miss Wang! The enemy is here!

The enemy is here. The enemy is here!

- Anyone over there? - No. -Miss Wang!

- Miss Wang! - Who is it?

The enemy is here!

Keep searching!

Miss Wang. I'm sorry.

It was rude of me.

But the enemy is here.

Who are you?

Is the girl inside?

Girl? There's no girl.

You can't go inside!

You want to die?

Jin!

Jin! Jin!

Don't go!

Search thoroughly!

Miss Wang. Fine. I won't look at you.

Go up!

Hey! Don't come up here!

Don't come up.

Young Master Duan!

Use your left hand's pointer finger to press the pressure point on his lower abdomen!

That's what you get for hitting me.

I beg you. Stop coming up.

I don't want to kill anymore!

Miss Wang.

I... Miss Wang, I...

I'm sorry.

Let go of me.

Young Master Duan! Strike his forehead and you'll win!

Let's go!

Go.

What should we do?

They are going to burn the place down.

Miss Wang. Wait for me here.

I'll take them by surprise.

Boy! What sort of sinister technique is that?

Young Master Duan. Go to his back

and attack the pressure point on the seventh vertebrae of his spine.

Miss Wang. I can't save myself.

I'll wait for you on the path to the other world.

Young Master Duan.

Is that the Minute Steps Upon Towering Waves technique?

Yes.
