♫ I thought that your purposes were simple ♫

♫ I thought that we'll eventually lose each other ♫

♫ I thought that friends like these would only plan for themselves ♫

♫ But every time I took a turn ♫

♫ And every time something unexpected happened ♫

♫ I realized that our friendship can no longer be replaced by others ♫

♫ It's like only you can understand my loneliness ♫

♫ And only I can feel your love and hate ♫

♫ Let's go through this craziness of the world together ♫

♫ Let's fight the absurdness of human heart together ♫

♫ Even though we had different dreams to start with ♫

♫ We are actually looking for the same heaven ♫

♫ As this road got harder, we are the only ones who are still staying with each other ♫

♫ We didn't lose each other ♫

Chinese Paladin 5: Clouds of the World- Episode 5 -

Just picking up money.

Well, it's not as high as I imagined it to be.

This isn't too good, is it?

It will damage my reputation as a chivalrous hero.

But...a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do.

Lord Tang, let me tell you—a man has to live by his own code.

Lord Tang, I'm here today to take your Drunken Immortal Brew!

Move it, I tell you.

Move the liquor to the cellar, go on!

Cellar?

Let's find the cellar!

Why's a dog wearing clothes?

Don't bark, don't.

Don't bark! Hush!

Please, please, I beg of you! Don't bark! Don't! Stop it.

Hush. Stop it! Don't bark.

Please don't bark, my lord!

Hus! Hush, please! I'm begging you.

A twig, twig... Is there a twig somewhere?

Why are dogs of the Tang family so cunning?

Well, I better find the cellar first.

There's the scent of alcohol coming from there.

It looks like the cellar is right here.

You thief! So here you are, stealing liquor!

Let me tell you, I was the one who found this place, so I should be the one to reap its rewards!

Anyway, if you want to stay alive—!

Don't touch the liquor!

Stop barking! Should you alert the household,

neither you nor I will get the liquor.

Hush, hush, alright? I surrender.

You steal yours, and I'll take mine.

This has 3 characters... It must be the Drunken Immortal Brew.

THAT HURTS! Are you blind, you idiot?

Only you're hurt, huh?! Am I not hurting as well?!

You—!

It's you!

Well, aren't you experienced!

You dumb thief! I painstakingly created an ambush

and was just waiting for Poisonous Shadow to turn up.

Well, it has all been ruined by you!

What poisonous shadow, poisonous snake? Do they have any connection with me?

Little Miss, don't you try to shift the blame.

Were it not for you, would I have broken these two jars of liquor?

Little Miss? Little Miss?! How dare you call me "Little Miss"!

Why? Aren't you a little missy?

Just how am I little?!

Do you believe that I shall kill you right now?

There's a commotion coming from there! Hurry!

Someone's coming. Did you hear that?

WELL DUH! You were being so loud!

They could hear you from miles away! Do you think that no one will come and investigate??!

I'm finished, finished. What shall I do?

What shall you do? Dummy thief, you scared now?

Aren't you, too? Acting so calm...

Of course not! I'm more concerned for you.

Save your concern! I'm not helping you.

Are you human or are you a spirit?

You don't even recognise a concealment spell when you see it, you idiot thief.

But—

Heroine, please pardon me for not recognising your prowess just now,

but please take me out of here.

Heroine? Heroine?

HEROINE!!

There's a ruckus here! Here!

I'm finished, finished. If I'm discovered by the people of the Tang Manor,

I'm dead!!

Look! There are traces of intruders.

Quick, let's go notify Old Master!

Looks like this secret passageway is not that safe after all.

I'll be in trouble if I were to be caught by them.

Who would've thought I would be saved by that dog at a crucial moment?

The number of weird incidences this year... Well, it never rains but pours.

That old fogey Tang Hai must be guilty of something.

Otherwise, what would be the point of having a secret passageway?

Dog spirit?

Don't run, stop!

Stop!!

Don't run!

Stop running!

Stop!! Don't drink it!!!

Why? Is it poisoned?

Let me tell you! This is the rule of the world; the person who sees gets half.

Besides, your liquor was stolen from under my eyes by that dog,

so you have to give me half.

-Little Boy, do you want to drink? -Hand it over!

Good liquor! Little Boy, let me tell you.

Tthis alcohol was stolen by the dog.

So go discuss this with the dog, not me. Got it?

Alright, you stinking priest! You stole my liquor, and now you expect me to discuss it with the dog?

I don't care. You have to leave some for me.

Leave some for you?

Sure, sure. I'll leave some for you.

After I finish drinking, the bottle is yours.

You are playing with me!

Why? Why? Do you want my life? Sure.

But if you want the liquor, no way.

Fine, if you don't want to listen to reason, then don't blame me for being rude!

Get a load of this!

You still don't want to surrender?

-Still not surrendering?!-NO!!

No?

-Little Boy, still not giving up yet?-NO!!!!

Still not giving up?

You're not just an ordinary human, are you?

I almost didn't notice.

You stinking priest, what do you mean by that?

"Ordinary" human?

Little Boy, you don't look like a bad person.

Truth be told, you're not suited to be a villain.

You stinking priest, let me tell you. It's not up to you to decide whether I'm a hero or a villain!

Interesting, interesting... I like that!

But no matter what you say, I'm determined to finish this today.

-It's gone. -You stinking priest!

You finished it all!

Then what am I supposed to celebrate my dad's birthday with now?!

What?

You lost to me, so the alcohol was mine for the taking anyway.

-What there's to argue about? -I don't care!

Since you drank all the liquor,

you have to give me that stinking dog as compensation.

I'll bring him back as a watchdog; it beats returning empty-handed!

Little Boy,

I'm afraid you're not even competent enough to serve as his lackey.

But, alright.

Yellow (lit. Big Yellow), why don't you look after the boy for a while?

Little Boy, you're not yet skilled enough to command Yellow.

Well, seeing that we're both liquor connoisseurs, I shall teach you a few tricks.

Stinking priest, if they aren't good moves, well, I won't learn them!

Now that depends on your potential!

Little Boy, remember this: Your heart is a mirror of your emotions. It's important to be calm and return to nothingness.

It stopped.

This is strange. My heart feels a surge of calmness.

You have too much energy.

It will harm you if you don't control it properly.

If you remember my mantra and keep practicing like this everyday, its benefits are manifold.

I say, Old Priest, are you sure your method works?

This kid got it on his first try.

He really does have untapped potential.

That fate has brought us here together today. I wonder if this is a good or a bad thing?

How did I do?

"All lives spring from one with nothingness, and all lives must return to one with nothingness."

Return!

This move works well indeed.

Dog spirit, you belong to me from now on.

Owner, please don't give me to this brat here!

Yellow, he has already placed his seal on you.

You'll have to follow him from now on. Just take it that you're looking after the kid for me.

Owner, nooo!

Yellow, although this person is weak, he doesn't have a bad heart.

Follow him, and get along with him.

I believe that you will become good friends.

Why? Miffed?

Well, I'm happy.

Old Drunk, since I've learned some skills from you, does this mean that you're my master from now on?

No need for that. It was all because of a jar of liquor anyway.

Alright.

Little Boy, if you were to run into any trouble in the future,

well, Yellow might be of help to you.

What trouble can I run into? It's more likely to be you who gets into trouble.

Yellow won't be around to steal liquor for you anymore.

Be careful not to get caught.

Interesting, interesting.

Thanks for the heads-up, Little Boy.

Alright.

"A glimpse of cloud in the sword, and a glimpse of the immortal in liquor."

I'm off!

-Owner!-Hey, Old Priest!

-Owner!Hey, why don't you teach me that instead!

I don't want this dog anymore!

What amazing skills.

Ten...no, even if it's one hundred jars of liquor...there's no way I could've taken them from him.

Bro, bro, what's this?

Haven't you seen the notice board? Big news!

The daughter of the Tang family is holding an open contest for her hand!

-Move!-Hey, don't get near, step back!

-What's written on it?-This here is a notice from the Tang family.

It says as long as you're an unmarried man of good background, and of a suitable age,

if you pass the test, you get to marry Miss Tang!

How is it? This seems like a good opportunity! Let's all go try it!

The Tang family is so rich,

I'll be willing to marry even their sow!

Yeah, you're right!

Plus I heard, this Miss Tang

is both beautiful and kind.

If I were to get this marriage...

then won't I be lucky as hell?

I must definitely try!

I must win!

Dad! I'm back!

Why is it so quiet here tonight?

Why are there no candles lit for dinner?

Surely you don't have to be thrifty to such a degree...

No, I mean, how can you guys get so drunk?

You're finally back.

Who's that?

Little Brother, you're so fierce.

You're causing Sister to tremble in fear

and that will be the end for these people here.

Save your nonsense!

Answer me! Did you poison them?

This is a sleeping spell. Only I know how to reverse it.

As long as you obey my orders, I'll release them to you.

I warn you! If you dare to harm them, I will fight you with everything I have!

How fierce.

Relax. I only need your help in rescuing somebody.

Since you're so powerful, why don't you go by yourself?

Why? Don't feel like helping?

That's alright then. I'm going to count to 3. If you're still unwilling...

I will kill one of them.

Well, there are lots of people here, so we can take our time

while you decide.

Then...

I shall start with this adorable little girl.

1...

2...

Fine, I'll go with you.

Really? Lying is wrong, you know.

Everyone's lives is in your hands, so there's no point for me to lie.

But promise me this.

After I help rescue the person, you must hand over the antidote.

Don't worry. As long as you obey me,

Sister will treat you nicely.

Let's go. I'm bringing you to a place.

Stupid Poisonous Shadow.

No matter how good you're in escaping, as long as you remain in Green Lotus Town,

I have my ways of capturing you!

No, where the hell is this place?

Are you trying to kill me off?

As for that...

-you won't die...probably. -Probably?!

This is MY life we're talking about!

"Probably?" What if I die!?

Your life in exchange for all those lives back at the fortress.

Sounds like a good deal to me.

A good investment carries risks, don't you think?

Tell me, who am I rescuing?

His name is Bloody Hand.

Go down here, find him, and bring him up!

Suppose I do find him...how do I get out of the hole then?

Just bring him here and call for me. I have my ways.

If you don't manage to find him however...

What?

Well, you know the consequences.

It looks like I won't be able to get out of this.

What shall I do?

Thinking of pushing me down, then taking the chance to escape?

How unfortunate for you. The sleeping spell

can only be undone by its caster.

Alright, I get it.

You don't have to scare me.

I'll save the guy for you.

But if you can't keep your promise, I'll never let you have peace even if I'm a ghost.

Fine. As long as you help Sister (referring to herself)

then Sister will leave those mountain peasants alone.

How about it? Do you need me to swear a venomous oath?

Disgusting. Who's your Brother?

Stupid Poisonous Shadow! Don't dream of escaping with my familiar spirit here!

Now return the Sacred Land Pearl to me!

Little Girl, you're being difficult.

Hey, aren't you the idiot thief who thwarted my plans the other time?!

So you guys really are a team.

Great. I'm killing two birds with one stone today!

Who's an idiot thief, huh? Who's working with her, huh?

Don't drag me into your mess with her!

I'm under her duress.

She ordered me to save someone

and she has my buddies at Gale Fortress under her spell.

If I don't do as she says, she won't release them.

What a cowardly method!

Rest assured, I'll help you with the spell instead!

Who could've thought that you have a few tricks up your sleeve, Little Girl.

Looks like I won't be able to escape from your clutches without giving up the Sacred Land Pearl.

Take it that I surrender. You can have it back.

Stay there! Don't move an inch!

What's the problem? Don't want the Sacred Land Pearl back anymore?

How am I supposed to return it to you

if you don't allow me to move? Alright, come and get it yourself.

Stupid Poisonous Shadow, I don't believe that you're so nice to return it without a fight!

Throw it over!

But if it shatters, you're going to blame me again.

Forget it if you don't want it.

You—!

Why not...

let this kiddo bring it over to you?

Can you stop trying to involve me in your feud?

Idiot thief, you bring it over!

Little Brother, it's in your hands now.

Here.

Well, I've returned the Sacred Land Pearl.

Isn't my turn to request now?

What do you want?

Little Girl, do you know?

There's a spell known as the earth shake spell.

Combining it with the Sacred Land Pearl

will produce a tremendous impact.

Don't tell me—

Too late!

-What're you doing?!-You—!

You're so gullible, little girl.

Stupid Poisonous Shadow, Idiot Poisonous Shadow! It isn't honorable to rely on deception!

Fight me face-to-face if you dare!

Little Girl, that was but a petty trick.

Hasn't Lady Haitang taught you

to be wary of strangers?

You can't even save your own skin, yet you want to help others.

You overestimate yourself. Dumbass.

You shameless person! I'll make you regret once I get out!

IF you get out, that is!

I've sealed the entrance.

You have to depend on my help to get out!

Well, I shall be nice.

The deal remains unchanged despite there being an additional person now.

Hey, what kind of deal did you guys make?

Rescuing the dude, remember?

I won't stand for it! That person must be a bad person, just like you!

I won't do it!

It's all your fault! Why didn't you help me when you saw her trying to trick me?

My fault?!

You lost due to your lousy skills, how is that my fault?!

Say again!?

This cave is full of poisonous gas.

Every moment you linger means a moment closer to death.

Get going!

I don't believe there isn't another way out!

Well, that's up to you.

Little Brother, she doesn't want to help, but how about you...?

Who's your brother, huh?!

You're not to agree to help her! Let's go!

B-but... I still need to save my dad and the others...

You—!!

You—!!! So you guys really are in cahoots!

I'll find another way out myself!

Didn't you hear what she said? This cave is full of poisonous gas.

It's better not to wander around too much.

Poison? I have the Five Poison Pearl, what am I scared of?

Mind your own business!

Yellow! Yellow!

Say something!

You're useless.

I'm off then!

Are you alright?

My head was so dizzy just a moment ago.

Go away!

Just what is the matter with you?

Why am I not dizzy anymore?

Why does it seem that my dizziness disappears whenever you're near?

How should I know?

I get it now.

Are you hiding a protective talisman somewhere on your body?

Take it out!

What can I possibly be hiding? Other than this ragged dog

and a sword, what more do I have?

What do you want?

I don't care for it.

Don't care for me? Whew, what a scare.

But... it seems that the poisonous gas here is afraid of me,

why don't you just tag along beside me?

Who wants to tag along with you?

Fine if you don't want to.

But this cave looks so sinister and creepy.

There might be ghosts and spirits lurking around here.

Lurking here...

lurking there... lurking... BEHIND YOU!

Don't frighten me! I'm not a scaredy cat!

Not a scaredy cat, huh?

Then why are you hiding behind me?

I-I—

I was afraid for you!

I see. Well, I'm off.

Idiot thief, you're the one who insisted on me following you.

If you were to get separated

or be devoured by monsters, that's not my business!

Alright, alright. Not your business.

But stop calling me "idiot thief."

I have a name. It's Jiang Yunfan.

"Jiang" from "Jiang Ziya" *(a famous sage), "Yun" from "Yun Duo" (lit. cloud) and

"Fan" from "Bu Ping Fan" (lit. extraordinary)!

-What's so funny?-'Zhao Ren Fan' (lit. super annoying person).

What's your name?

-I'm Xiao Man. -Xiao Man?

"Man" from "Man Heng" (lit. rude)!

What did you say?!

I mean... cute! Your name sounds cute.

That's better.

Where are we heading to now?

Forward. Where else can we go?

Aren't you scared?

I...

For dad and the others...

No... No, I won't be scared!

Let's go.

Zhao Ren Fan! There's someone there!

I wasn't startled by him, but by you!

He's just human. What's there to be afraid of?

Hey, wait for me!!

Is he dead?

No. Look, he's still breathing.

Did they send you guys to kill me?

We're not here to kill you, but to rescue you.

Why are you rescuing me?

We didn't come here of our own volition! Poisonous Shadow, that nasty witch, she sent us here.

So, it's Ah Luo...

"Ah Luo?" Whatever, I'm getting you out of here first.

Are you really going to free him?

Are you an idiot? Think about it.

If we release him, there's at least a 50% chance

that that witch will let us off.

If we don't, we'll only end up dead in here.

Besides, look—

He has been held captive by electricity for so long.

That's plenty enough for a punishment, don't you think?

I, Bloody Hand, do not desire pity from kids like you.

Alright, you're strong, we get it.

Even so, you're still stuck here, aren't you?

We're nice enough to rescue you so stop being snappy.

Hilarious. I've been racking my brains these 20 years

on how to escape from these Demon Subduing Pillars, to no avail.

So how can the two of you possibly release me?

The 'Demon Subduing Pillars'? Don't they belong to the Shu Mountain Sect?

Are you one of them?!

No, I'm not.

Save the questions for later. Let's just focus on how to get you out of here.

This...

Hurry up.

This is hilarious!

I-I can't hack at them any longer.

These pillars sure are strong.

My arms hurt from hacking at them!

Trying to rescue him with that puny amount of strength?

Better leave it to me.

Don't get in my way!

Are you sure you can do it? No magic is coming from you.

Wow, your magic skills sure are something.

Who are you guys?

Where exactly are you guys from?

W-we are your saviors!

Stop asking questions for now and

ask your friend to help us out of here.

Fine, if you don't want to tell. Follow me.

I'll ask her to release you both.

Go! Let's go! Hurry!

Stupid Poisonous Shadow, we brought the man like you asked!

Hurry, let us out!

Ah Luo! Is that you?

Big Brother... Big Brother, it really is you!

I'll get you out immediately!

Now it's our turn!

What're you doing?!

Xiao Man! Be careful!

Well, isn't she cold-hearted! She blocked the entrance to the cave.

We're dead, dead!

Stupid Poisonous Shadow, Idiot Poisonous Shadow!

We helped you, yet you deserted us!

You shameless villain!

Stop crying. It won't do any good.

IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT!! Why did you insist on saving him?!

YOUR FAULT!!

Fine-fine-fine. It's all my fault, okay?

But crying's not going to help matters.

Let's try to find a way out.

What if we don't find one?

W-we don't?

Well...

We won't not find one!

Where there's a will, there's a way.

We will find one.

ANYWAY, it's just my luck to run into you!

If we don't get out of here, I'll haunt you as a ghost and never forgive you!

W-We will. We will definitely find a way out.

Yellow, Yellow! You really do need to come and help this time.

Yellow! Hey!

You're not going to help, are you?

If you don't help then what am I supposed to do?

You seem to know so many spells, do you have one that lets us escape?

I know a concealment one, a transformation one and

also one that disguises my voice.

But I don't know any escaping ones!

And here I thought you will know an escaping one!

Stop crying and get moving!
