EPISODE 38

Zhao ZhiJing won't take this lightly.

By rejecting the Edict, I condemned myself to die.

My secret about Miss Long will be revealed.

My mind is clear.

What are you doing? Suiciding?

Leader Qiu! Founder!

See who you chose.

Look at your sorry state.

You became Leader, then suicide?

Think death settles scores? Suicide clears debts?

Xiao Long Nu is waiting outside.

How do I explain to her?

No need, I'll go; I'll confess to her.

Come back.

Killing yourself won't solve the problem.

What about Leader Qiu?

He'll investigate.

You ruined our sect reputation. You'll be condemned forever!

What should I do?

If I can't die, there's nothing else.

There is.

Promise me one thing.

I'll cover up your crime with Xiao Long Nu.

I guarantee I'll save Quanzhen's and your reputation.

I know. You want me to accept the Edict.

I tell you, ZhiJing...that's impossible!

Let me finish talking. Did I ever say that?

Don't worry.

After years with you, I know your stubborn streak.

I won't make you accept the Edict.

I swear I won't force you.

- You'll keep your word? - I swear as a Brother.

Okay. If it's not that, I agree.

Don't forget your promise.

If any Mongolian soldiers come to Chongyang Palace,

don't stop them.

That's not right.

Mount Zhongnan security is usually tight.

What's going on?

Acting Leader Zhao changed the order.

Heed the order.

Leader Qiu ChuJi ordered us to never let Mongol soldiers up the mountain.

Now you're saying not to stop them?

Whose order do we follow?

Quanzhen Sect is loyal and upright.

How can Zhao ZhiJing be Acting Leader?

Zhao ZhiJing is scum letting in Mongols.

Still, I won't get involved.

By the way, Acting Leader Zhao said if we meet a woman in white,

don't let her go up the mountain.

Yes.

Report any incidents immediately.

It's GuGu; he means GuGu.

Why would they stop her going up the mountain?

Dear brothers.

Unfortunately I have an incurable illness.

Incurable?

I can't undertake this heavy duty.

I appoint Zhao ZhiJing as Acting Leader.

Leader Qiu appointed you.

How can you pass it to another?

That's right.

How can your illness be incurable?

You fell into Senior's trap.

You!

This is sudden; your reactions aren't at fault.

Our sect faces a calamity.

And I committed a great sin; even death can't atone.

I thought carefully.

Only Zhao ZhiJing can capably lead the sect in this crisis.

Everyone, don't prejudge him. Help him bring glory to our sect.

It's human to err. As for your sin, wait for the Elders.

You're giving the post to Zhao ZhiJing; we won't follow your order.

Li ZhiChang. We're close friends.

Please co-operate; don't make things difficult for me.

If you want to abdicate, wait for the Five Elders

to prevent foolish decisions.

It's too urgent to postpone.

Even so, other Brothers surpass Zhao ZhiJing in character and leadership.

Brother Li is versed in the Tao; Brother Song is highly capable.

Why'd we accept the unpopular Zhao?

What about you, Brother Shen?

I can't compare with them.

But compared to you, I'm superior.

I'm not a traitor.

- Who are you saying is a traitor?! - I'm talking about you.

Who did you say?

You two, please listen to me.

Our sect constitution says the previous leader appoints the new one, right?

Yes.

I hereby appoint Zhao ZhiJing to succeed me as new sect Leader. Don't oppose this.

Zhao ZhiJing. From today,

you are Acting Leader.

Okay.

I will follow your order.

Brother Shen.

Today's situation isn't encouraging.

ZhiJing must have some hold over ZhiBing so he can't oppose him.

Brother Li, what should we do?

We must secretly investigate his devious plan, then contend with him.

Okay, I will do it.

If Zhao ZiJing dares to mess up,

we'll punish him under Quanzhen rules.

Why'd you only show up now?

- Sorry to keep you waiting. - Where's Acting Leader ZhiBing?

From today, I am taking the position of Acting Leader.

I see.

Congratulations on being appointed as Acting Leader.

We are surprised and delighted.

So what was the outcome of your discussion?

Please don't worry.

You can go back and report to Great Khan that

Zhao ZhiJing, Acting Leader, accepted the Imperial Edict.

What? This...

What's going on?

Okay, Acting Leader Zhao.

- Accept the Edict. - Okay. - Wait!

Brother Zhen! What now? Talk after I accept the Edict.

You promised not to accept the Mongol Edict.

Did I promise that? Oh, right, I did.

I promised not to force you to accept the Edict.

Did I say I wouldn't accept it?

How'd I break my word?!

Zhao ZhiJing, you're such a joke.

Wind-bag.

Take action.

What are you doing?

Are you rebelling?

You dare oppose your leader?

What are you doing?

Quanzhen's vital rule is loyalty; you betrayed us to Mongols.

ZhiBing is still Acting Leader.

Li ZhiChang.

Fine.

- Zhao is named as a traitor. - He betrayed our ancestors.

Okay.

I refuse the Edict!

Quanzhen are Song citizens; we're at war with Mongolia!

You three, please leave. We'll meet in battle.

You acted rashly; you don't know what's good for you.

Quanzhen glory will be destroyed.

Quanzhen is a small sect unable to withstand you.

But if you don't leave now.

don't blame our bad manners.

Bad manners?

I want to see that.

Move fast.

Hurry up.

Quickly.

Yes.

Teacher.

Quanzhen Taoist Elders can't be underestimated.

Quanzhen Sect is loyal, and won't submit easily.

If we deal with Chu ChuJi, his disciples will heed us.

Teacher.

Don't tell me you want to put them all in seclusion together?

And never let them get out.

Stop! What are you doing?

Stop, everyone!

- Keep moving rocks. - Yes.

Hurry up.

Elder Sister Sun Bu'er

Leader. There's trouble.

Someone is blocking the entrance.

We're at the critical point of Seven Star Assembly.

After we complete this stage, we will reached 30% to 40%.

We can't be distracted.

Once we five merge our energies, we'll have power to get out.

Thank you. Have a safe journey.

Teacher, these traitors are under control.

You did well.

Acting Leader Zhao.

Shouldn't you punish rebels?

- Then your new post will be secure. - That's right.

Punish those who disobeyed.

- Men! - Here, Teacher.

Quanzhen rules punish traitors.

- Punishment is execution. - Bastard!

You disobeyed the rules yourself, Zhao ZhiJing!

Dear colleagues.

I, Zhao ZhiJing, am merciful!

If you admit your offence, I'll give you a chance.

If anyone repents now,

I'll spare their lives.

Acting Leader, spare my life.

Please spare my life.

Acting Leader.

Why are you two so spineless?

What do you mean? They're acting human.

- Men! Free them. - Yes.

Yes, Teacher.

I will repeat myself. Who else wants to repent?

I won't kill them.

Spare my life!

You cowardly bastards!

Forget it. They want to live.

- They're all sons of bitches. - Stop it!

You're so stubborn?

Fine. Don't blame my lack of sympathy.

Carry out punishment!

- Yes. - Stop!

Zhao ZhiJing.

You dare to act against Brothers.

Zhao ZhiJing, you're a betrayer.

Get it over with!

Okay. You want to die?

I'll despatch him first.

Men, take action.

Yes.

Brother Li.

Brother Li!

Do you have the guts?

Zhao ZhiJing!

You'll die a miserable death.

I won't spare your life!

You won't repent!

You disobeyed rules.

I'm Acting Teacher.

You're the traitor.

You did disgusting things.

What? Still defying me.

I lead Chongyang Palace.

I'll do what I like; what can you do?

I'm not a hypocrite like you.

I have guts. Dear brothers,

I'll tell you big news.

This hypocrite Zhen ZhiBing raped Xiao Long Nu.

I drugged you.

How else did you dare? Look at me.

I know you want to kill me.

I'll watch you dig your own grave.

I'll kill you!

Restrain him!

- ZhiBing, you bit me! - I'll kill you!

No, I'll kill you. Men!

- Give me a sword. - Yes.

Zhen ZhiBing.

I represent the Leader.

Don't move one step, we won't be polite.

Xiao Long Nu.

All us experts don't fear you.

Men, surround her!

Her sword skill is faster than in Passionless valley.

She's wielding two swords; it's perfection.

I'd like a chance to duel with her.

Hide behind me.

Many thanks.

I came for revenge on Quanzhen.

It doesn't concern outsiders; stay out of it.

Quanzhen has good and bad guys; I wonder who offended you.

Who offended you and deserves to die?

It's him.

He's under Great Khan's edict; he treats us well.

I'm afraid you made a mistake.

I'll tell him to apologise.

I will kill you today.

Miss Long, if you want to kill him, I must stop you.

Sure. An apology is good, but if you kill him,

it won't reflect well on us.

I have no grudge with you.

I have no time to fight you.

Move aside or not?

We refuse to do so.

If you're that capable,

show us.

I won't be polite then.

They're not watching us.

Let's untie the ropes

and kill that renegade, Zhao ZhiJing.

Okay.

Still not helping us?

It's shameless.

Three Wulin Masters ganging up on a girl. Crap!

You help an outsider? I'll show you.

Get these ropes off.

- Let's charge out and kill them. - Yes.

High Monk!

High Monk, save me.

What's wrong?

Aren't you Acting Teacher?

But Xiao Long Nu is here to kill me.

I trust you've been well?

I want to kill him; please move.

I can't do that.

Miss Long, he's my friend.

I won't let him die.

Let's try.

Yang Guo isn't here.

Even if you wield two swords,

is that any use?

Did you forget

you saw this skill at the cave?

Let's fight to determine who is better today.

This monk's skill advanced.

It's a fair fight.

Who says it's fair?

That rotten monk got hurt.

We should fight her together.

If he dies in her hands,

will we be spared?

You're right; attack together.

Let's go!

Charge!

Zhao ZhiJing, you betrayer!

You'll soon regret it!

Bullshit! I'm Acting Leader, and under a Mongol Edict.

Let's see who can kill me.

I say, you Taoists.

Your old Leader was sealed in the cave by us.

You're still seeking death?

Stop talking rot.

How could you disturb our five Elders in seclusion?

I'll free them!

This Seven Star Assembly we've been practising

has finally been mastered.

We united five people's power.

Even if students are untalented, we can unite their strength.

It's a pity we only attained 30%.

Because of the urgent situation outside, we can't achieve its highest level.

Let's break out of the cave.

Chongyang Palace is a respected place; who despicably violated it?

Leader, it's Mongolians.

Taoist Qiu.

Long time no see.

I trust you've been well?

I said I'd settle scores with you in ten years.

You came at the right time.

I'll try Seven Star Assembly on you.

I never expected her magnificent sword skill.

Alas! We can never defeat her.

That's wishful thinking.

(Miss Long, watch out!)

Why'd you save me?

Miss Long. I did you wrong.

Can you forgive me?

How could I forgive you?

ZhiBing!

Xiao Long Nu.

ZhiBing sacrificed himself, yet you took revenge.

Teacher.

I did wrong to Miss Long.

I....

deserve it...

Where is everyone?

Where's GuGu?

Taoist Brothers, let me help you handle this witch, Xiao Long Nu.

GuGu.

Today...

I fear I will die here.

My death is not a pity.

But at the brink of death,

I yearn to see Guo'er.

Guo'er.

Am I dreaming?

Not a dream.

I'm holding you.

Are you in pain?

I thought...

I thought I'd never see you again.

Guo'er, I'm so cold.

Hold me.

Guo'er. Your arm?

Why's your arm gone?

- I'm fine. - Why's it gone?

I'm fine.

- Someone cut it off. - Who was so cruel?

Who cut off your arm?

Don't worry about me.

You're weak now. Don't talk; rest.

Save your energy.

I'll use neigong to heal you.

Guo'er.

I want a favour.

Promise me, okay?

GuGu, did you forget?

In the Tomb, I promised you

whatever you tell me to do,

I will do it.

That was long ago.

It was a long time ago.

It's still the same.

Guo'er.

I won't live long.

Stay with me.

Before I die, be with me.

Don't be with Guo Fu.

Of course I'll be with you.

Why'd I be with Guo Fu?

What's she to do with us?

Guo Fu cut off my arm.

Why'd she do that?

Weren't you two in love?

I will only love one woman- that's you.

I never liked another woman.

Xiao Long Nu.

Ancient Tomb and Quanzhen stick to our own areas.

Why'd you lead these Mongol miscreants to harm many of my disciples?

GuGu.

Let's go to the Tomb now.

I'll heal your injury.

Guo'er.

Does your arm hurt?

No.

Did your poison act up?

A few times; no problems.

How insolent, Yang Guo.

Leader is talking to you.

Kowtow to him now.

You dare ignore him?

GuGu wounded one damn Taoist; I'll ignore you.

What cheek, ignoring your two Quanzhen teachers!

You treacherous villain!

Since I once called you my teacher,

I'll let you off. Scram!

Yang Guo, give me back my leg.

Get lost.

Yang Guo.

Congratulations; you obtained a powerful, magical sword.

Looks like I must try it.

Okay. I alone can fight him, GuGu.

Guo'er, stay back.

I can fight him.

GuGu, if we're going to die, let's die together.

Today we fight this crowd together; I have no regrets.

You think I really can't fight you?

Brother. Hold on alone while I save Teacher.

Okay.

Brother.

I'll go back to Mongolia to train; I'll find Yang Guo in 10 years

and avenge you and Teacher.

Yang Guo, spare me.

Let me save Teacher, and break that scum Huo Dou in 1000 pieces.

Then kill me or not.

You're loyal and honest.

I won't kill you; you may go.

Thanks for not killing me.

Teacher, let's go.

Guo'er.

Brother Yang, you're great!

Brother Ma.

Those cronies of yours are unjust.

You'll only suffer by being with them.

It's better if you go home.

That makes sense.

Brother Yang.

You two are getting married.

Can I stay for your wedding banquet?

The matter here hasn't ended.

I forgot about these damn Taoists.

Brother Yang. I'll help you teach them a lesson.

No need. It's a small battle; I'll handle them.

You're right.

High Monk wasn't your match.

Even more so these Taoists.

In that case,

Brother Yang, new bride.

I'm going now. Bye.

Big Dipper!
