Transcending the Nine Heavens

Episode 8:

Episode 8: Entering Tieyun

Buddy,

we're going to reach your house soon.

Hmph.

House?

What house?

I rob houses and huts

to make a living.

I'm just a bandit.

Bandit, huh?

If so, I'll strip you of all your possessions and hand you to the local authorities.

All of the townsfolk will be there.

Maybe the ruler will be there as well.

You'll be utterly humiliated.

I'm a man.

I'm not afraid of being humiliated.

For His Highness Tie Butian!

His Highness

Tie Butian?

He's a wise ruler.

What's wrong with that?

Geez.

Buddy,

you should stop pretending.

Judging from your exceptional appearance,

I'm sure you're someone special.

Buddy,

you look extraordinary.

We're friends who began as enemies, huh?

I'm heading to Tieyun to search for my relatives and stay with them.

I think I will need your help

if I get desperate

after failing to find them.

What do you think?

That's simple.

You're pretty skilled.

I'll get you covered.

This...

He actually fell for it.

Hey.

Say, what gives Tie Butian

the right to rule over Tieyun?

Is it because his father is the emperor?

I'm sure he's another one of those dandies.

Nonsense!

His Highness may be a member of the imperial family,

but he won the hearts of the people by serving them.

He makes a clear distinction between reward and punishment,

respects the worthy, and is humble to the virtuous.

He's only 17,

but he has a domineering spirit.

He also possesses grace and magnanimity.

He's adept at employing talents, too.

Oh?

Seems like

Tie Butian is someone special.

That's right.

His Highness has recruited a lot of talented individuals.

He even created Skypatcher Pavilion

so that he could resist the invasion of Zhao

and...

You brat!

How dare you trick me?

We're here.

Buddy,

I'll send you on your last journey.

What do you mean by this?

Sir Bandit,

may we meet again.

Hahahaha.

Kid,

you'd better not regret it.

Heroes, thank you

for escorting us here.

Hmph.

Kid,

may we meet again.

Let's go!

Why did you let him go?

We must be men of our word.

Since I gave him my promise,

I have to keep it.

We've already arrived at Tieyun's hinterland.

That bandit knows a lot about Tieyun.

I'm afraid he's no ordinary simpleton.

Therefore, I didn't remove his veil.

If I did kill him

or send him to Tieyun's local authorities,

it may be detrimental to you

as the political situation here is complex.

But...

And

although that guy is kind of a brute,

his gang

is pretty loyal to him.

They don't seem like crooks.

It's good to have companions like them in the martial arts world.

Hehehe.

Mr. Chu, seems like you know what it takes to be a martial artist.

Gao,

let's be on our way.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Du,

Tieyun City is right ahead.

Our journey

has come to an end.

Go!

Gao, the Flamesaber Virtuoso, is actually treating Du Shiqing with this much respect.

I'm afraid he's related to Diwu Qingrou somehow.

I have to act accordingly.

Tieyun

Tie Butian is here to receive Mr. Du himself.

Seems like he's an important figure.

Mr. Gao,

please stop the carriage.

I have something to discuss with Mr. Du.

Mr. Du, you've arrived at Tieyun safely.

It's time for me to bid farewell.

Why is that the case?

Mr. Du,

I assume you're rushing to Tieyun

because you have pressing matters to discuss with His Highness.

We just met each other by coincidence.

I'm in a hurry to seek out my relatives, too.

I shouldn't interrupt your journey and hold you back.

Mr. Chu, since you have your own schedule,

I won't force you to stay.

Wait here.

I wrote these two books with painstaking effort.

Please take them.

Herbal Medicine Compendium Immortal Medical Art

This...

I don't think I deserve them.

I'm getting old now.

You're young and talented.

Please pass down the way of the medicine for me

and try your best to save as many people as you can.

Take it as inheriting my will.

Mr. Du, I won't let you down.

Everyone,

may we meet again.

Take care, Mr. Chu.

You guys, stay here.

Yes, Your Highness.

The Bone-Penetrating Divine Frost Skill?

It's a secret technique that belongs to the Saint Clan.

Why does he possess such a feminine skill?

That was quick.

Excuse me. Are you

Mr. Du Shiqing?

That's right.

Your Highness, I do not deserve your personal greeting.

I'm overwhelmed by your presence.

Mr. Du, don't say that.

It must've been a long trip.

Did you encounter any trouble on your way here?

I encountered some crooks on my way here.

I was fortunate enough to receive the aid of a descendant of a friend.

If not,

I don't think I would be here to see you today, Your Highness.

Mr. Du, did you find out the identity of the crooks then?

I did not.

If so,

Mr. Du, what about your benefactor?

He entered the city before us.

So, it was that guy

who gave me the chills.

Mr. Du,

do you know where that young man comes from?

His name is Chu Yang.

Just now, he mentioned

that he was expelled from Tianwai Pavilion.

Tianwai Pavilion?

Expelled?

Mr. Du, you possess a pair of healing hands.

Good will come to those who practice goodness.

Mr. Du,

please.

Eon Residence

Official Tang.

Divine Healer Du has received some shock on his way here.

Has he settled down?

Your Highness,

he has settled down.

He may start seeing patients tomorrow.

All right.

Are there any movements from Zhao?

Your Highness,

Zhao's Three Great Legions of the Southeast

are heading to Demon's Ravine.

But judging from their actions, I think they're targeting the State of Wuji.

It has nothing to do with Tieyun.

It's a state affair.

We can't afford to be careless.

Instruct Skypatcher Pavilion to gather more news related to it.

Report to me if you receive any updates.

You may go.

Yes, Your Highness.

Your Highness,

Wu Kuangyun is here.

Wu Kuangyun General of Tieyun

Wu Kuangyun General of Tieyun Your Highness,

Wu Kuangyun General of Tieyun

Wu Kuangyun General of Tieyun I...

Wu Kuangyun General of Tieyun There's no need to explain yourself.

Wu Kuangyun General of Tieyun

Wu Kuangyun General of Tieyun I knew it was you.

Your Highness,

I may be at fault here,

but

I did so for the sake of Tieyun City's future.

Head to the military department

and receive 100 rods.

You'll receive a one-year salary deduction.

Everyone who participated in the act

will receive the same punishment.

Yes, Your Highness.

Come back.

Your Highness, what else do you need?

The youngster who was together with Du Shiqing,

you fought him, right?

What do you think

about him?

That brat was pretty skillful.

I could've taken him down

had I not been careless and forgotten to evade his attack.

Enough.

You're still trying to brag

even when he tied you up, huh?

I know you're loyal to me.

I'll spare you from the rods.

You better stop getting me into trouble in the future.

Thank you, Your Highness.

Tieyun

does look peaceful and prosperous.

I want this.

All right. I'll wrap it for you.

Thank you.

Qingwu?

Look.

There's a thief!

He took

my purse!

Scram!

Get out of my way!

Such audacity.

How dare you do this in front of Ma Tuo'zi of Mount Wuhua?

Come.

I'll send you to the local authorities.

Don't!

Don't! Don't!

Sir!

Mr. Ma!

I was getting desperate in life.

That's why I'm doing this.

You still have your limbs intact.

Why did you resort to this?

Mr. Ma,

initially, I was working in the government office.

And the crown prince of Tieyun was rooting out internal spies.

Someone framed me,

and I was stripped of my position.

I had no choice

but to become a thief.

Is that so?

The political situation in Tieyun is unstable.

Many people were affected by that.

Capable individuals

had already joined Zhao.

An ordinary folk like me

can't even make a living here.

Can't you just start a small business then?

Mr. Ma,

this might sound embarrassing,

but I didn't learn how to calculate.

I closed my business as I'd incurred a huge loss.

Years of continued warfare

did make those despicable and greedy merchants

very rich.

The Chen family on the eastern side of the city hoarded the goods and profited from them.

No one dared to keep them in check.

And the Yuan family on the western side of the city

has monopolized official and private salt sales.

The most terrible among them is Official Wang on the northern side of the city.

He sells scissors and cleavers.

Cleavers?

You don't profit much from selling cleavers.

You might have no idea about this.

Although Tieyun has plenty of mines,

Zhao has recruited or got rid of most of the blacksmiths here.

There's a severe lack of metal tools in Tieyun.

Not only do soldiers lack weapons and armor,

but the price of scissors and cleavers meant for the townsfolk is also exorbitant.

Oh.

They lack metal tools, huh?

Since I know the art of illusion...

I'm new to the city.

Is there any place where I can seek shelter?

The southern street is pretty lively.

Although the world is pretty chaotic,

you're not disabled.

You better stop committing crimes.

If I see you again,

I'll definitely send you to the local authorities.

Hey!

Mr. Ma,

I'll definitely turn over a new leaf...

Mr. Ma?

Your Highness.

Why did you

summon me here?

Miss Wu,

I wish to inquire about

a person named Chu Yang, who was expelled from Tianwai Pavilion, from you.

Do you know him?

Expelled?

There is such a person in Tianwai Pavilion.

He's a disciple of Martial Uncle Meng of Zizhu Garden.

I'm not sure why he was expelled.

Oh?

I met him once

before I came to Tieyun.

He resolved an internal conflict between disciples.

He also trained hard

and was honest and upright.

Miss Wu, seems like you have high praise for him.

All the masters have high praise for him, too.

I'm not jumping to conclusions here.

Your Highness,

how did you hear about him?

Oh?

Didn't you know that he has come to Tieyun as well?

Chu Yang is here as well?

Baron's Residence North of Tieyun City

I'll see how much ill-gotten gains this baron has accumulated.

This is absurd.

Luckily, I just mastered the ability of Refinement.

He's doing me a huge favor here.

These are

my start-up funds.

Huh?

- My lord! - My lord!

Where's my money?

Heavenly Soldier Pavilion Tieyun

Cutting through metal like butter is no longer a dream?

Let me show you?

Divine weapons for sale?

Their numbers are limited?

Ladies and gentlemen,

it's the opening of my shop today.

You're welcome to purchase your divine weapons here.

Get out of my way.

Today's your opening day, huh?

Heavenly Soldier Pavilion?

He's pretty arrogant, isn't he?

Every shop on the southern street has to pay their respect to us.

Hehehehe. Running Out of Patience

Guys, are you here to check out my weapons?

My weapons are pretty expensive.

Brother, look.

He's being this arrogant

when he's only selling these.

Don't touch them.

There are mechanisms inside the weapons.

You don't look like a martial artist.

You might get hurt.

Hmph!

Do you think you can scare me?

I'm going to touch it anyway.

Go ahead then.

It's so heavy.

Didn't you eat just now?

Let me do it.

Hehehehe.

You can't pick it up, either.

I'm sure it's attached to the handle!

This sword is forged with a mysterious and dense metal.

One cannot pick it up

unless they have a certain level of cultivation.

How dare you trick me?

I'm sure there's a trick behind this!

Precisely.

Although you two are brawlers,

you two don't deserve

to wield this sword.

Hey!

You!

Say that again?

The sword hasn't drawn any blood yet.

Do you two wish to test how sharp its blade is?

No.

No thanks.

The weapons in Heavenly Soldier Pavilion

do cut through metal like butter.

Brother,

what should we do now?

Sir,

we won't bother you from doing your business now.

That's right.

Please go ahead.

Heavenly Soldier Pavilion Be Patient

You guys come out empty-handed?

Seems like you didn't get anything out of it.

We almost lost our lives instead.

Everyone,

the divine weapons I sell here

aren't meant for ordinary folks.

Sigh.

Seems like it's none of our business then.

Let's go.

Let's go.

- Precisely. - Let's go.

I never expected you to do this.

You used the Jiujie Sword to refine hundreds of thousands of silver and gold taels.

After that,

you started Heavenly Soldier Pavilion, which had no customers.

Tieyun has run out of blacksmiths.

I could use the Refine ability of the Jiujie Sword to my advantage here.

The Heavenly Soldier Pavilion can definitely help Tieyun restore their strength.

The Jiujie Sword contains

infinite secrets.

Once you learn the ability to unlock the Jiujie Realm,

you may accommodate all things at will.

Jiujie Space?

I can't believe I didn't master that in my past life.

Brat,

you only wanted to practice the Indifferent Sword Path in your past life.

There are plenty of secrets

contained within the Jiujie Sword that you've missed out on.

Flowing Jade Lake Suburb of Tieyun One of the shards is inside the city.

Flowing Jade Lake Suburb of Tieyun I already sensed it.

Flowing Jade Lake Suburb of Tieyun That's right.

Flowing Jade Lake Suburb of Tieyun

Flowing Jade Lake Suburb of Tieyun The second shard

Flowing Jade Lake Suburb of Tieyun is at Flowing Jade Lake.

Flowing Jade Lake Suburb of Tieyun

Since Heavenly Soldier Pavilion has been established,

Tie Butian will definitely inquire about it.

I assume I'll meet Sister Wu soon.

Heavenly Soldier Pavilion

Hmph.

Sword Tassel

Sword Tassel As light as a drifting dream Dancing enchantingly amidst a sea of blood and bones Do not ask me where I've gone with my sword Life and death go hand in hand in the Nine Heavens Sword tassel of dream Dances across the Nine Heavens In the city of elves The sword reigns supreme
