(The Eternal Strife)

(Episode 6)

So, you still think it was a tie?

Miss…

Uh, no…

My lady,

you achieved Emperor level at such an early age,

by which I feel greatly humbled.

I'm Dugu Baitian.

May I know your name, my lady?

Aw, stop calling me that.

It sounds so pretentious.

I'm Xuanxuan.

You have some smarts after all.

From now on, you work for me.

But, uh…

Dugu Baitian…

Too lengthy.

Not catchy enough.

I'll just call you Foolee.

What the heck?

Did she give up such a heavy bounty

just to toy with me?

Some chief she is?

Well, stop dawdling.

Well…

What's going on with you?

Weren't you the guy…

The guy…

It got scratched just now.

Here, you should wear one as well.

Why should I wear this thing?

Fine.

When those people try to kill you again,

don't beg me for help.

Don't forget that the Wanted poster out there

still has your face on it.

First the chief thing,

and now a mask.

She really knows how to have fun.

You're indeed a master.

You have a thoughtful approach

and a watertight methodology.

Impressive.

It would seem you have great potential.

By the way,

I heard of a place where lots of valuables were buried.

I intend to go and take a look.

You're coming with me.

I'll give you a cut of the treasure.

That sounds a bit dangerous.

Can I refuse?

What do you think?

I've tried so many methods,

but I still can't resonate with the Essence Stone.

Can it be that…

Master.

Shi,

you found this stone,

which is quite meritorious.

Did you notice anything out of the ordinary during the process?

I

didn't.

Shi,

this thing is indeed the Essence Stone,

but

it is empty.

I failed to complete the mission.

Please punish me, Master.

It was

not your fault.

The Essence Stone is a relic of great antiquity,

one we know so little about.

It's normal you couldn't tell.

You may leave.

Alas.

But its power is of great significance.

Should it fall into the hands of the dark side,

the martial world

will descend into eternal disarray.

Brother Xiao.

Sister Li.

Master.

Liang, what is it?

I congratulate Master on acquiring the Essence Stone,

but…

Out with it.

Does Master know

from whom Sister Li

acquired this stone?

I heard

it's that geriatric's only grandson.

Yes.

His name is Dugu Baitian.

He's Dugu Yanzhi's only child,

Dugu Feiyu's grandson.

Previously, he was mediocre,

but lately, he's made rapid progress in martial arts.

He even killed the young masters of the Liu and Luo families.

Oh?

Are you saying…

The power of the Essence Stone is formidable.

If he's harnessed the power left by Martial Saint Dugu Zhantian,

then I'm afraid

someday it'll bring more than chaos to our world.

Okay.

You are to investigate Dugu Baitian

and ascertain the truth of this matter.

Yes.

When you said treasure hunt…

Did you mean stealing?

Shut up.

The door's unlocked.

Hey, Xuanxuan.

Look what's beside your feet.

It's just a dog bone.

Are you hearing anything weird?

For example, someone saying…

"Give me my life back…"

Humph. You're so immature.

Even if there were ghosts here,

I'd be happy to find out what they look like.

I've been curious about this for quite some time.

Hey, Foolee,

here's some good stuff for you.

What the heck is this?

A dog bone.

Humph. You're so narrow-minded

and so bossy.

What did you just say?

Ah!

Drive them away!

An Emperor-level martial artist

is actually scared of rats.

There, there.

Let's go inside.

Are they all gone?

Yes, they are.

This is a real eye-opener.

It turns out Emperor-level masters have their Achilles heel as well.

An Emperor-level master…

What is this place exactly?

Hey,

where did you hear there are treasures in here?

Let's just get started.

Xuanxuan.

Chief?

You don't want to tell me, huh?

Fine.

I'll go wait outside.

If the rats come back,

don't call me.

Don't.

Why on earth are you so scared of rats?

I…

Since you refuse to tell me anything about this

or that,

I'm out of here.

Hey,

you've been accompanying me most of the night.

Please stay a little longer.

You have such great powers.

You don't need a nobody like me.

I don't want to die here with you.

Surely you don't have the heart to leave a forlorn, vulnerable girl alone

in such a horrible place?

You?

A vulnerable girl?

You can flatten me with one finger.

Brother Dugu,

you don't want to be a hero and help a damsel in distress?

How many masks are you carrying?

It's no good becoming pretty.

I value my life.

You leave me no choice.

Okay! Okay!

I'm sorry!

Madam,

can you please be reasonable for once?

How am I supposed to do this

when you don't even tell me what to look for?

Cut the nonsense.

Tell me when you find something out of the ordinary.

This is weird.

The rumor does say the entrance is here.

What rumor?

Well, they say

there's a mysterious chi here.

If you find that chi,

you find the treasure.

A mysterious chi?

I got it!

Did you never wonder

why there are so many big rats here?

Look.

The big rats we saw

must be mutants affected by that chi.

If we find their nest,

we'll find the entrance.

Hold my hand tight.

I'll protect you.

Go pull that iron ring.

You…

What do you take me for?

Before bringing me here,

you didn't say this chi was so terrifying.

This place is…

Should we go in?

Go.

There's something important down there.

Screw it.

- Let's go! - Hold on…

You should at least let me prepare myself.

Are we really going to die here?

You fool!

Why do you have to be such a daredevil?

It's so deep.

Did they have an army dig this?

What is that?

Such a horrible chi…

A person…

I feel it.

Or a…

That's overwhelming hatred.

Sir,

what is the important thing you talked about?

I don't quite remember.

But I have an inkling

that buried in this place are some secrets about me

and an important treasure.

So there's really a treasure here.

Hey.

What are you muttering this time?

Keep up.

Nothing.

Why did that chi suddenly disappear?

Don't touch anything.

What are these things?

Don't die.

Now, that's what an Emperor-level master should be like.

Foolee!

Foolee!

This mechanism… I think it's trying to keep us out!

All the more reason to get in!

Welkin Chi-Art!
