[Sword Dynasty]

[Episode 1]

15

Autumn of Yunwu Eleventh Year.

Fish market in the east of Fengming City.

16

Ding Ning

Born with a hyperactive "yang" condition, exposing him to the risk of dying prematurely. Together with Zhangsun Qianxue, they disguised themselves as "Auntie" and "Nephew." Their aim is to seek revenge on the Emperor of Heng."

17

[Fish Market]

18

Boatman, send me out please.

19

All right.

20

Song Shenshu, Third Realm.

Treasurer of the Library of Classics and Historical Records.

A traitor of the Bashan Sword Academy.

Now, an official of the Heng Kingdom Library of Classical History.

21

Could it be due to the water level that

22

the route taken today is slightly different from the usual one?

23

It is different.

24

But it is not because of the water level.

25

Song Shenshu, are government officials not banned from entering the fish market?

26

You know me?

27

What are you trying to do?

28

Ten years ago, you were present in the Great Palace Hall, isn't it?

29

I am just a creditor of yours.

30

I have come to collect from you the old debt from ten years ago.

31

I will enter the Fourth Realm very soon.

32

You have overestimated your own capabilities,

33

and are striking the stone with an egg.

34

You are scared now?

35

You have the skills of the Nine Death Silkworm?!

36

How does it feel like to betray your master for glory and power now?

37

If I were to tell you somethings that are even more important than my life,

38

would you let me off?

39

Speak.

40

Lin Zhujiu... of Bashan Sword Academy is still alive.

41

What did you say?

42

He is being imprisoned in a cell in the deepest part of the Great Floating Water Prison.

43

The Emperor of Heng Kingdom wants to get hold of certain secrets of cultivation from him,

44

and did not kill him all this while. Everyone else thought that he is dead.

45

Even Minister Li does not know about this secret!

46

You should be satisfied this time, right?

47

Very good.

48

Then, you can go die now!

49

You have paid the debt you owed that person.

50

But you owe Bashan Sword Academy so many lives.

51

You will not be able to repay them all.

52

I will definitely kill whosoever dares to stop me from taking revenge from the Emperor of Heng Kingdom!

53

Ten Years Ago.

54

Liang Jingmeng, Seventh Realm.

Head of the world's No. 1 clan, Bashan Sword Academy.

55

Yangming City, Lie Kingdom.

56

Yuan Wu, Emperor of Heng Kingdom, Seventh Realm.

Determined to rule the word, to give the common people a peaceful life free from the hardships of wars.

57

Report! Emperor Lie, Emperor Heng has been shot by an arrow and has fallen from his horse!

58

[Emperor of Lie Kingdom]

Kill the Emperor of Heng Kingdom! Destroy the Heng Kingdom!

59

Kill!

60

Bashan Sword Academy is here to provide reinforcement!

61

Ye Zhen, Sixth Realm, Bashan Sword Academy.

Successor of Xiaozhong County in Heng Kingdom.

Fiancee of Liang Jingmeng.

62

I had thought that I would be defeated here in Yangming City today.

63

If I am alive, you will never be defeated.

64

Followers of Heng Kingdom will be victorious!

65

- Long live Great Heng!

- Long live Great Heng!

66

In a time when the Four Kingdoms are impeding one another, battles are fought one after another.

67

When will the end come?

68

The Lie Kingdom has been destroyed. In less than ten years,

69

Bashan will help Great Heng take down the remaining three kingdoms.

70

It is timely now for the Emperor to make

an unprecedented move of

[Royal Palace of Great Heng]

71

building a Kingdom of Great Heng which belongs to him.

72

There is peace in the world. The common people are in good health.

73

This world belongs to you too.

74

I just want Bashan Sword Academy,

75

and Ye Zhen. These are enough for me.

76

This is really great.

77

That's right. Not only did we save the Emperor,

78

we even helped Great Heng to take down the Kingdom of Lie.

[Liang Lian, Bashan Sword Academy.]

[Song Shenshu, Bashan Sword Academy.]

79

Why do I keep feeling that something is not quite right today?

[Lin Zhujiu, Military Advisor of Bashan Sword Academy,

Liang Jingmeng's close friend.]

80

The Emperor has invited the disciples of Bashan Sword Academy to go into the palace to receive their reward.

81

- Going to receive our reward!

- Let's go receive our reward!

- Please.

82

Let's go!

83

Come, Brothers!

84

Let's all drink a toast together to Liang Jingmeng, the Head of the Bashan Sword Academy!

85

Without the Head of the Academy,

86

Great Heng would most certainly have been defeated by Kingdom of Lie in this battle!

87

Come, let's drink up!

88

- Drink up!

- Drink up!

89

Come!

Brother Jingmeng.

90

I want to drink a toast to you too.

91

Now, everyone in the world knows about Liang Jingmeng.

92

Without Liang Jingmeng, there would not be a Kingdom of Heng.

93

Without the Kingdom of Heng, how would there be an Emperor of Heng?

94

The world has been conquered by Liang Jingmeng and the disciples of Bashan.

95

Of course I must drink this toast to you.

96

Your Majesty, you must be joking.

97

Without Your Majesty, how would Great Heng be powerful and and formidable?

98

And how would there be a Liang Jingmeng of Bashan Sword Academy?

99

I and Jingmeng will drink a toast to you.

100

Jingmeng.

101

Long live my emperor! Long live Great Heng!

102

Ye Zhen!

103

Only if you die can the disciples of Bashan live.

104

Liang Jingmeng, you have shown great disrespect to His Majesty.

105

Do you admit to your crime?

106

There is poison in the wine!

107

Protect His Majesty!

108

-

109

If you want to kill His Majesty, you'll have to kill me first!

110

I have said before that

111

I will never harm you.

112

But why this?

113

The divine skills of the Nine-Death Silkworm?!

114

Attack!

115

Release you hand now.

116

Quickly release your hand!

117

- Head!

- Head!

118

Liang Jingmeng attempted to assissinate His Majesty,

119

and has been executed.

120

Those who obey and follow my emperor will be promoted to the ranks of nobility.

121

Those who oppose him will be killed without being pardoned!

122

Yuan Wu and Ye Zhen,

123

as well as those who had betrayed the Bashan Sword Academy,

124

I want all of you to repaid this blood debt with your blood!

125

Fengming City, the capital of the Kingdom of Heng.

126

Although you have passed away for many years as the Head of the Sword Academy of our era,

127

you name still remains in the heart of every commoner.

128

It is just that no one dares to bring it up again.

[Wutong Fall]

129

We could only use that person in the place of these three words, "Liang Jingmeng."

130

Ten years ago, the entire Gongsun family was exterminated because it was being implicated by you.

131

I could only change my name to Zhangsun Qianxue, and hid in Fengming City.

132

But what could replace

133

the yearning and hatred I felt for you?

134

Zhangsun Qianxue,

Keeper of the Wutong Fall Tavern,

135

the daughter of the original Marquis Gongsun Manor,

and was taught the Nine-Refined Sword skills by Liang Jingmeng.

136

This must be the work of that fellow Ding Ning again.

137

Since the two of us have remained in Fengming City, we must be careful not to do anything to alert our enemy.

138

The Eleventh Marquis is our greatest stumbling block in our quest to kill the Emperor of Heng Kingdom.

139

Even though Marquis Dugu has the least cultivation, he is not someone I could defeat at this moment.

140

We definitely must not act hastily before I reached the Seventh Realm.

141

We have been waiting for ten whole years.

142

This old debt of Bashan can't be rushed.

143

Since you have already planned to take action, your plot must inflict real damage to those areas of vital importance.

144

Marquis Dugu is backed by two buildings.

145

If he should die, the temple and jianghu would surely follow suit and be shaken.

146

When that time comes, we could then reap the gains from this pandemonium.

147

Who were those people who rode past us just now?

148

They are the government officials of the Bureau of Astronomy. I heard that the Empress has summoned Bureau Chief Ye back today.

149

Fengming City has enjoyed peace and quiet for ten years.

Marquis Dugu, Sixth Realm.

The Eleventh Marquis of the Kingdom of Heng,

has illustrious military achievements.

150

Or perhaps, a storm will rise soon.

151

The Emperor has announced a decree! Zhao Zhan, the great traitor of the Kingdom of Lie, has been sighted.

152

He has ordered Ye Celeng, Chief of the Bureau of Astronomy,

153

to quickly return to Fengming City to apprehend the criminal.

154

Ye Celeng, Seventh Realm.

Chief of the Bureau of Astronomy.

155

She is in charge of the major case investigations in Fengming City,

and has not been put in any important positions for years because of her status as a Bashan disciple.

156

The Bureau of Astronomy welcomes Chief Ye with respect.

157

The queen understands that Chief Ye has labored to travel this far

158

and specially sent us to welcome you here.

159

Zhao Zhan of Lie Nation's Jian Lu

160

The seventh disciple of Jian Lu, the top sword sect of the Former Lie nation. Hiding in Fengming City, planning vengeance for his fallen nation.

161

Ye Celeng greets the seventh master Zhao.

162

I dare not presume to be called master.

Benevolent Master Zhao Renliang

163

I am just a floating leaf of a dead nation.

164

Please enter and have a seat.

165

No, thank you.

166

Then please wait for a moment.

167

I also lit one for your master.

168

Meeting Chief Ye today has cast a sudden light before my eyes.

169

It seems unsuited to Fengming City.

170

You dare!

171

Zhao Zhan, you remnant of the Lie Nation! Chief Ye is here in person.

172

Not only do you not give yourself up, but you dare to speak such words of provocation?

173

Jian Lu's seventh disciple Zhao Zhan

Jian Lu Seventh Disciple Zhao Zhan

174

would like to experience Chief Ye's Autumn Water Sword Technique.

175

- What is it?

- Someone is blocking the way, my lord

176

Kill with no mercy!

177

I apologize.

178

Have a good journey.

179

Bury him with honor.

180

Yes.

181

As the years pass, the martial arts world sees the addition of masters that achieve the seventh realm.

182

However, nobody has yet crossed the threshold into the eighth realm.

183

Not to mention the strongest realm, the ninth.

184

For this reason, the Heng King secluded himself in cultivation.

185

All affairs of state were handed to his queen Ye Zhen to handle in his stead.

186

Your majesty, Chief Ye was unexpectedly able to kill Zhao Zhan on her own.

187

This means she must have entered the middle level of the seventh realm at the least.

188

But I don't understand.

189

At this moment in Fengming City, aside from Chief Ye

190

there should be others who can handle Zhao Zhan alone.

[Ye Zhen, queen of the Heng Nation

Beloved of the King of Heng. In charge of affairs while he is in seclusion.]

191

Why have we summoned back Chief Ye who was cultivating far beyond the country?

[Minister Li

Responsible for assisting the queen while the Heng king is in seclusion.]

192

You should know.

193

This city is the only one that has no outer walls.

194

The reason why we have no outer walls

195

is because each sword in the hand of a Heng person is a wall.

196

Summoning Chief Ye back has two purposes.

197

The first: Chief Ye killing Zhao Zhan with her lone sword

198

is no doubt the loudest thunder strike in this season.

199

And Fengming City's invisible wall is made thicker by an inch.

200

The second: Chief Ye has cultivated for many years outside the country.

201

Many have thought of her as in exile.

Chen Xuan, Chief of the Heng nation's Bureau of the Holy Capital

Responsible for investigating court officials at all levels. Guardian of the Great Floating Water Prison

202

Her return and removal of evil elements

203

proves her relationship with His Majesty

204

is very close.

205

Such rumors will then be dispersed without effort.

206

You and Chief Ye have my king's trust.

207

So you should work together and wipe away all obstacles for Great Heng.

208

Your royal subject obeys.

209

So pretty.

210

Uncle, oil please.

211

Aunt!

212

Aunt? Aunt!

213

Can't you scrub the mud off your shoes outside? Do you have to scrape it on the threshold?

214

You're not planning on doing business properly anyway.

215

Even the many steps involved in the process of making wine

216

have had several casually tossed out by you.

217

So why do you care that there's some mud on the threshold?

218

If I'd known that opening a wine shop would invite so many idlers

219

I would never have listened to your idea.

220

Besides whether the door way has dirt on it

221

- Has to do with one's personal feelings and has nothing to do with doing business.

- Mm.

222

If it has to do with personal feelings

223

I can apologize

224

But the wine shop's business being too good and having too many idlers

225

has nothing to do with me.

226

It's all because you're so pretty.

227

Besides, opening a wine shop is still better than your original plan

228

of putting yourself in some red light district to look for information.

229

Have you ever heard of any girl from a decent family

230

who would willingly put herself in a brothel?

231

Unless they were a loose woman or lewd girl.

232

But a loose woman or lewd girl who only sells entertainment but not their body

233

is too unusual.

234

You think the Chiefs of the Holy Capital and Astronomy are fools?

235

Zhao Zhan is dead. Ye Celeng killed him.

236

- She did it alone?

- Yes.

237

But she's injured as well.

238

How do you know?

239

Even though I don't know how badly, I am sure she is injured.

240

Ye Celeng is from the Ba Shan Sword Academy.

241

She mainly cultivates the Li Shui Sacred Technique.

(t/n: water related)

242

In stormy weather like this

243

she must have been much stronger than usual.

244

Even though she killed Zhao Zhan by herself

245

she was injured after all.

246

Therefore I suspect that her cultivation

247

should be quite close to Zhao Zhan's.

248

That would be the middle level of the seventh realm.

249

Go and take a bath, then wait for me in bed.

250

I will close the shop door.

251

Right now—?

252

Isn't it a little soon?

253

We don't have much time left.

254

We must use it for cultivation.

255

Why is her core chi so unstable?

256

The Lone Mountain Sword Trove of the legends should actually exist!

257

And in fact most of the clues

258

may be in the hands of Bai Shanshui of Cloud Water Palace.

259

What you mean to say is I only need to find Bai Shanshui

260

and I will be able to get the Lone Mountain Sword Trove.

261

The weather is arid is things are dry. Watch your fires and candles!

262

She must have fought with someone

263

for this chill to be penetrating her body.
