[The Blood of Youth]

[Episode 4]

Any news of that person?

No.

It was chaotic last night.

As we were pursuing them,

we even clashed

with several groups of scouts.

We ended up...

He deliberately leaked his whereabouts

to lure us

and find our camp

by following the clues he found.

After that, he caused chaos

by surprise

and escaped.

Then he used us

to help him get rid of those following him.

Wuxin

sure came up with a great plot.

Unless we get a sword deity to make a move,

or else it'll be difficult to find him again.

Mister, should we ask...

We don't need to alert my father about this.

Besides, I can guess

where he's heading.

Anyone here?

Is there anyone around?

Are you still going to deny that we're lost?

This is clearly

an inn in Beili.

We went the opposite way.

We may have taken the wrong road.

But the direction is right.

We were heading in the west direction.

So how can we get lost?

(What's this?)

(Master?)

[The Sixth Prince, Xiao Chuhe, shall be removed from the family registry]

[and demoted to commoner. He shall leave the capital city immediately]

[and not return unless summoned.]

Look how heavily at it rains!

How strange it is.

Who's there?

Who are you?

Someone who's here to kill you.

I heard you've already reached the Insouciant Phase

at a young age.

It looks to be true.

It's a pity

if you have to die like this.

Xiao Se.

This place is too dilapidated.

We can't stay here at all.

It'll be dark soon.

Why don't we

spend the night here

after cleaning this place up a bit?

Didn't you just tell me

we should get back on the road

because it's not normal

for an inn to appear out of a sudden?

I've changed my mind.

Xiao Se, what do you think?

I'm fine with it.

I knew you weren't asleep.

The mark was left

by Polymath of the martial arts world, right?

You're his disciple?

You can say that.

No wonder you know

so many things about the martial arts world.

Old Wangyou

once told me

that Polymath

has a disciple by the last name Xiao.

You should mind your own business.

I should say

the same to you.

Mr. Xiao,

remember to come back before the day breaks.

You really hold a grudge.

Master.

[Ji Ruofeng, Polymath]

Are you heading to Xueyue City?

Yes.

Do you know

the consequences

if you enter Xueyue City?

I heard

you are doing it for 500 silver taels.

Master, you're indeed worthy to be called Polymath.

You actually found out.

Is it all because of 500 silver taels?

Anything related to silver taels

is important, after all.

All right, it's for 500 silver taels.

But it's not a small amount.

Can Xueyue City afford it?

They can't.

But I'm certain

they'd be happy

to help me claim the money.

Yes, they'd be happy indeed.

Not only they would,

any major force in the martial arts world

would be happy

to claim the 500 silver taels for you.

However...

However,

I'm not the only person

who can claim this money.

I know that.

You're the least advantaged one.

We need to fight

for some things.

If I don't try it,

how will I know the outcome?

If you fail,

you'll die.

I've died once,

haven't I?

Even the Sword Deity failed

to kill me.

Stop probing.

I already know

who crippled your martial arts

and seriously injured me that night.

Was it the Wrathful Sword Deity, Yan Zhantian?

Could it be the Lone Sword Deity, Luo Qingyang?

Stop guessing.

Since you've decided to let go,

stop trying to find out.

It's only 500 silver taels, isn't it?

If you compare it to life,

you should know

which one is more important.

It looks like

you don't have faith in me.

Then who do you think

can obtain the 500 silver taels?

Lord Bai, Xiao Chong?

Lord Chi, Xiao Yu?

I have faith in Lord Yong'an,

Xiao Chuhe,

not Xiao Se of the Snowfall Villa.

Are martial arts skills

important to you?

You know

that was not what I meant.

Just look at yourself.

What's wrong with me?

You are arrogant, thin-skinned, and boastful.

You show off your petty tricks, treat others ruthlessly, and are self-righteous.

These are the six shortcomings a monarch should avoid.

Master,

it's your turn.

I'm passing it down to you.

My martial arts skills are crippled.

How is this Wuji Staff going to be useful to me?

It's going to be a rough journey to claim that 500 silver taels.

You can use it as a crutch.

Thank you, Master.

Master,

there's one thing I still can't figure out.

I hope you can enlighten me.

What is it?

I want to go to Yushi.

Can you tell me the direction?

Are you lost?

Yes.

Master,

this is not funny.

I thought

you brought those two lads to their deaths

on purpose.

Seek death?

There's a city

30 li to the west.

What city?

Muliang City?

Did I hear that correctly?

I can't believe

that we'd come here

by accident.

Xiao Se,

why don't you give

any reaction at all?

What kind of reaction should I have?

There are four major cities in this world.

Tianqi of the North, Xueyue of the South,

Wushuang of the East, and Muliang of the West.

It's a city as famous as Xueyue City

in the martial arts world.

I must go and visit it.

It's nothing but a deserted ghost city.

What's so special about it?

How can you say that?

Every martial artist knows

there is this one person living in Muliang City.

And this is the person

who made Muliang City

one of the four most famous cities.

This person is one of the Five Sword Deities,

Luo Qingyang, the Lone Sword Deity.

The Lone Sword Deity,

Luo Qingyang.

Enough said.

How would he not know

about rumors in the martial arts world?

It's said the Lone Sword Deity, Luo Qingyang,

lives alone in Muliang City to practice his swordsmanship.

He has never left the city for more than ten years.

He claims he'll only leave the city

after he masters

the Nine-Song Sword Technique.

His situation

is quite similar

to Lei Hong of the Lei Clan.

Lei Hong, Luo Qingyang,

and Zhao Yuzhen,

who has never left

Mount Wangcheng

since he was born.

These three people

are considered the three homebodies in the martial arts world.

Wait, why are you...

But not many rumors in the martial arts world

are true.

Lei Hong and Zhao Yuzhen

at least have the support of the Lei Clan

and Mount Wangcheng respectively.

But there's only Luo Qingyang

in Muliang City.

What has he been eating and drinking

for the past ten years?

Does he really think his title makes him an immortal

who doesn't eat or drink?

You have a point.

Rumors may be exaggerated.

But the title of Luo Qingyang

as the Sword Deity is real.

Many people think

Luo Qingyang's martial arts skills

can rank first among the Five Sword Deities.

Lei Wujie.

Lei Wujie!

What's wrong?

I mean,

since we're already here,

why don't we go and take a look?

Shall we?

Master Wuchan,

how long

until we reach Jiulong Sect?

We're almost there.

Lian, it's sweet.

Here.

Why aren't you eating?

Let me feed you.

Tang Lian, we'll...

Xiao Se's face turned pale

when I said I was going

to Muliang City.

Wuxin is the same too.

What did he mean

by it's better not to cause trouble?

I only want to watch from afar.

It's not like

I'm going to challenge the Lone Sword Deity.

They're making a big deal out of this.

Lord Chi

sure is cautious.

He actually asked us to meet him

at the Western Regions' border.

The situation in Beili

is different from Nanjue's.

Their crown prince

has not been decided yet.

Those princes

who are eligible for the throne

[Fu Hengxing of Nanjue] have been growing their powers

in the martial arts world in secret.

Other than Lord Chi, Xiao Yu,

there's Lord Bai, Xiao Chong.

Behind Lord Bai, Xiao Chong,

is Yan Zhantian, the Wrathful Sword Deity.

What about Lord Chi?

Could the Sword Deity who supports him is...

Of course it's Luo Qingyang, the Lone Sword Deity.

Who's there?

Was that thunder?

But it doesn't look like it's going to rain.

That's the direction Lei Wujie went.

Could it be

he's engaging in a fight with someone?

This airhead

could cause trouble from anything.

This place is quite secluded.

To my surprise, Lei Wujie would run into people

who made him use his explosives.

They're on the move.

It looks like

they're heading in the direction of Muliang City.

Muliang City.

Lone Sword Deity.

What?

Aren't you going to rescue him?

No.

What did you say?

That airhead

won't die that easily.

He may have already escaped.

He'll be back here soon.

You may say that.

But they're heading

toward Muliang City.

If they provoked the Lone Sword Deity...

Didn't he want to see the Lone Sword Deity?

If he met him,

it would be just as he wanted.

Are you troubled by something?

Since you came back last night,

you've been a little off.

If you want to go, you can go alone.

That airhead was the one who wanted to help you.

I never agreed to do so.

I can take this chance

to split ways with you.

It's better for me this way.

Are you

scared?

You can go alone.

Why do you want to take someone

who doesn't know martial arts at all?

Isn't Lei Wujie your companion?

We only met by chance

and became acquainted, that's all.

His life

doesn't concern me.

I've been smart since I was a child.

I reached

the Carefree Phase when I was 13.

I was excited at the time

and asked Old Wangyou

if I was considered

a prodigy of the generation.

After I pestered him relentlessly,

he finally told me

there was also someone in Beili

who reached the Carefree Phase

at 13.

At 17, he reached the Insouciant Phase.

He deserves the reputation

of the greatest prodigy in the world.

He's the disciple

of Polymath of the martial arts world,

the Sixth Prince of Beili,

Xiao Chuhe.

Soon after that,

the incident with Lord Langya happened.

Li Xinyue, one of the Four Guardians of Tianqi,

had died.

(Her daughter, Li Hanyi,)

(pointed her sword at the Emperor,)

(which shook the martial arts world.)

(It's said Xiao Chuhe kneeled in Tianqi City)

(for three days and three nights)

(to plead mercy for Lord Langya.)

(Finally, he was implicated)

(and demoted to a commoner.)

At that time, I thought

Xiao Chuhe

may be from the imperial family.

But he's unexpectedly

to be a righteous person.

It's someone worth making friends with.

At first,

I thought you were Xiao Chuhe.

Stop pretending

as if you know everything.

You like telling stories, right?

I can tell you one too.

In the last battle of the Demon Sect's expedition in the east

12 years ago,

every major sect in Beili

besieged the Head of the Demon Sect, Ye Dingzhi.

Ye Dingzhi was defeated

and died after he took his own life.

The funny thing

was the person who betrayed Ye Dingzhi

was his best friend,

Wang Rensun.

In my opinion,

Ye Dingzhi claimed himself

to be the greatest in the world.

But he eventually died because of his friend's betrayal.

Utmost stupidity.

Why? Does that humiliate you?

Without using any martial arts skills,

I'm going to teach you a lesson.

I'm warning you.

Are you mad?

I'm going to rip your foul mouth!

Are you out of your mind?

(You are arrogant, thin-skinned,)

(and boastful. You show off your petty tricks,)

(treat others ruthlessly, and are self-righteous.)

(These are the six shortcomings a monarch should avoid.)

I'm sorry.

Today,

there's no Young Head

of Tianwaitian

or Xiao Chuhe.

I'm only Wuxin from Hanshui Temple.

No matter what,

Lei Wujie came here

because of me.

So I must go and bring him back.

(And you)

(are only Xiao Se of Snowfall Villa.)

(I have faith in Lord Yong'an,)

(Xiao Chuhe,)

(not Xiao Se of the Snowfall Villa.)

I dare you to fight one on one.

Do you call yourself great for outnumbering me?

Rascal, cut the crap.

Who sent you here?

Just kill me if you want.

If I blink,

I'm not a hero!

(These people seem)

-(to be carrying Nanjue's long blade.) -Untie me now!

-(This man does look familiar.) -We can fight until the day turns dark.

(He's the Crown Prince of Nanjue's guard,)

(Fu Hengxing.)

(There must be a special reason)

(for him to show up here.)

(I think Wujie must have overheard their conversation)

(by accident.)

(Why is Wuxin not here yet?)

Teach him a lesson.

You're not serious, are you?

No!

Stop!

Xiao Se!

You?

I didn't expect you to remember me.

How could I forget?

The Crown Prince

is still upset

about losing a city to you

at the Qianjin Gambling House in Tianqi City back then.

That was the folly of youth.

Since you showed up here,

I suppose you know

a lot about us.

How's my worthless brother

doing now?

It looks like you know everything.

That's why you brought him to stop us.

What a clever strategy.

It's not my clever strategy.

After all, nothing in Beili

goes unnoticed by that person.

Are you here under orders?

I'm only here to deliver a message.

I hope you can go back

and tell your crown prince

that there are some things he can't meddle with.

I was almost tricked by you.

Why do you say so?

As far as I know,

you were banished from Tianqi City.

That information is right.

But matters in Tianqi City

are more unfathomable than you imagined.

If you don't believe me,

you can try.

All right.

I'm willing to try.

Why aren't you fighting? Do you only know how to avoid my attacks?

I didn't expect

the prodigy of the world in the past

can't even hold his own weapon.

How tragic.

Prepare to die!

Xiao Se!

Wuxin.

Leave now.

Let's go.

When did you arrive?

It was when you started

confronting that person.

Since you were already here,

why didn't you make a move earlier?

I wanted to,

but you were talking

about the folly of youth.

I found it interesting,

so I decided to watch it longer.

Then,

can you untie me?

Xiao Se,

you know that person?

As I listen to you talking,

I find it so confusing.

I don't completely understand.

From what he said,

you used to be an official

in Tianqi City.

But you were dismissed after that.

Why?

You also mentioned your brother.

What's going on?

Say something.

You obviously

can kill those three.

Why didn't you do it?

How can I take lives as I please?

If they find out they were tricked,

they'll definitely come back for us.

We should get out of here now.

You're right.

We should hit the road to Yushi Kingdom.

You didn't even

answer my questions.

Xiao Se, why?

[Dafanyin Temple]

Lingjun,

where is he now?

Master, the scouts reported

that he escaped

from Belle's Manor several days ago.

During his escape, he ran into

the Western Regions' most vicious mounted bandits.

After that, he created chaos

and is nowhere to be found now.

He should be

on his way here.

But...

Keep talking.

He's not traveling alone.

Is Tang Lian with him too?

He was persuaded by him?

It's not Tang Lian.

They're two young men.

One wears a red garment,

while the other one is the owner of an inn.

But we're still not clear about their identities

for now.

Master,

how did you know

he would come here?

He wants to meet someone here.

Wuxin.

If you don't have money

to spend in the Kingdom of Yushi,

I can lend you some.

At most, you can

pay me twice the amount in the future.

If you truly have no money,

you can also pay

with your secret martial arts.

But if you really

don't know the direction,

I can't help you even if I want to.

If we knew the direction,

we wouldn't have met you.

Mister, please buy one.

Stop looking. He's not a monk.

He can't show you the way to Dafanyin Temple.

He can hold his liquor, huh?

The pot of liquor he's drinking

costs two or three silver taels in Snowfall Villa.

Two or three silver taels?

How many jars of plain liquor I can buy with that much money?

Found you.

[Wang Rensun, Shattering Blade]

An expert indeed.

Don't just stay here. Go after them.

You're right.

Abbot.

Abbot Falan,

it has been more than ten years

since we bade farewell in Tianqi City.

How have you been?

How dare you?

No matter.

Abbot is not being disrespectful.

He just can't speak.

Abbot,

I'm here to seek a person.

I have a letter

written by the Lord of Yushi.

Twelve years ago,

the Head of Demon Sect, Ye Dingzhi,

came to see your master,

The Venerable One,

to inquire about heaven's will.

No matter how Ye Dingzhi threatened him

with his sword,

The Venerable One only shook his head silently.

We'll put aside the Buddhist doctrine.

You surely have the demeanor of The Venerable One

when you shake your head silently.

Abbot,

you've helped that person hide

for 12 years.

This time,

you can't hide him anymore.

[Dafanyin Temple]

Why aren't we on the move?

We're already here.

What is all this noise?

Why are there

so many people coming here today?

What are they doing here?

Kick them out!

Kick them out!

Martial Brother,

who's this person?

The Slumber Luohan Fist.

This isn't the Slumber Luohan Fist.

He's just drunk.

Why did you come back here again?

Falan.

Dafanyin Temple doesn't have any rules

that forbid me from visiting him.

How competent

can a drunkard be?

It's a pity to see Precept Breaking Blade

in your hand.

Falan,

stop shaking your head.

We can't avoid the inevitable.

Since we can't, we'll just kill them.

It's been 12 years since we last met,

Wang Rensun, the Shattering Blade.

Oh,

so you're the effeminate

Eunuch Jade Deity, the Directorate of Incense.

Directorate of Incense?

It's true

that people will meet again after a farewell.

Oh, Wuxin.

Why are there always experts

wherever you go?

And they're always

picking a fight.

Are these experts

going to fight?

You know the Lei Clan

is a well-known family in the martial arts world.

How come they have

an airhead like you?

That's not how you pronounce it.

Airhead.

No, it's not.

Airhead.

Since you're here,

you can get down from there.

Did they

notice us?

Shut up.

Thank you for coming all the way

to see me, Directorate of Incense.

I feel honored.

Directorate.

Don't address me that way.

Only the one in the palace

can address me as such.

Eunuch Jade Deity.

I'm not used to you

being so respectful.

Where is the friend in white

who argued with me about tea tasting that year?

You came to see me for tea tasting.

But you're here to capture me now.

I have to follow the order

of the one in the palace.

But I can still

keep you alive.

You can stop there.

All the way,

Xueyue City, Jiulong Sect,

Wushuang City, and Tianwaitian

had come to me.

Every single one of them said

they wouldn't kill me.

So the condition you offered

is not special at all.

Be it Xueyue City

or Wushuang City,

the power that I'm representing

is different from theirs.

If I can't take you with me this time,

I'll not hesitate to kill you.

Eunuch Jade Deity, don't go too far.

If you want to kill him,

you have to go through me first!

You...

Why?

This time,

you can't do it?

Eunuch Jade Deity is here for me.

We'll talk about what happened between us

later.

The drunk man

looks like

an expert.

If I'm not mistaken,

the person Wuxin wants to meet is him.

Do you mean the old friend Wuxin mentioned?

It's just an old score from the previous generation.

Please brandish your sword.

Shen Jingzhou's Blizzard Sword.

Wuxin,

I heard you've learned

many strange martial arts skills.

What are you planning to use this time?

Great Soul Seeker?

You even mastered the martial arts skills

of the Great Sorrow.

Zhou'er.

(Eunuch Jade Deity, what's the matter?)

(Why can't you look into my eyes?)

Break!

Shen Jingzhou's Blizzard Sword

sure precedes its reputation.

When Eunuch Jade Deity was 17,

he became famous with the Blizzard Sword

in the martial arts world.

Wuxin is also 17 now.

Wuxin,

I ask you one last time.

Are you coming with me?

It's a pity

to kill someone as interesting as you.

It's not easy to kill me.

(This is bad.)

Zhou'er.

Your Abyssal Eye doesn't work on me.

Die now!
