Dragon Gate Island!

Come out, Bao!

Uncle!

What's the matter?

We've arrived at the Dragon Gate Island.

Dock the boat!

Chop chop!

But, uncle,

is there really a treasure in this dump?

You coward!

How many times do I have to tell you?

Less yakking, more working!

Later they will bring the Qu family here,

and we just need to help them.

Then we can finish the mission and get the money!

You coward!

Okay.

Hurry up!

Bao, be careful!

Is this the Dragon King in the legend?

[New Dragon Gate Inn The Awakening of A Hero]

Chief Xu!

I've received the order to apprehend you.

My dear, please play one last song for me.

You once served in the military too.

Why were you up to such murderous things?

[Ringleader of the East Sea Gang, Chief Xu]

That's right.

I used to be just like you,

and was a lapdog of this corrupt court.

But now,

I kill corrupt officials

and help common people.

I am now living with integrity!

Those officials only know to harm the loyal

and oppress the people!

They deserve to be killed!

Even if they all deserve to die,

it's not the reason for you to commit crimes.

I believe in the laws of our country,

and there is justice in this world.

Every ill man has his ill day!

You are a fool!

A Fool!

Zhou Huai'an, ah!

Well done!

Thank you, my lord.

Guys!

Search the mountain for all they robbed!

Yes, my lord.

This is a secret order from the imperial palace.

You should seize this opportunity.

Maybe you can clean your Zhou family's name.

It would be nice to be vindicated!

I will spare no effort to the court,

and never dare to seek personal gains.

My lord, the treasure is founded!

Great! Bring all these back.

I'll take charge of them.

[The Eastern Depot]

[One day ago, the Eastern Depot Prison]

Will you confess or not?

No?

Kill him!

[Wang Fu, eunuch of the Eastern Depot]

Mother!

My child!

Are you still unwilling to confess?

Let's see if your stubborn mouth is harder than my sharp knife!

My wife!

As long as you confess,

I'll release your child.

I confess.

I confess!

Commander, he confessed!

Commander!

He finally confessed!

The person has fallen into the hands of the Western Depot,

and is at the East Sea now.

Mother!

Leng Feng.

Mother!

Make some arrangements

and set out immediately.

If the Western Depot takes the lead,

we'll be in trouble.

Mother!

But it's a long journey.

I'm afraid it will be too late when we get there.

Send a letter by eagle to tell our people at the East Sea to intercept the person.

Remember to find someone reliable.

Order the Imperial Guard of the East Sea, Zhou Huai'an,

to set out immediately and rescue

the young daughter of the Qu family,

and protect her.

Three days later,

arrive at the Dragon Gate Inn of the East Sea on Hungry Ghost Festival,

and hand her over to Commander Feng of the Eastern Depot.

We're about to get rich!

I didn't expect this girl to be so valuable!

What horrible weather!

All thunder and no rain!

[Western Depot's scout, Big Head]

Get your weapons!

Go!

Go!

Don't be afraid.

Little girl, I'm here to save you.

What's your name?

I... my...

My... my name is Qu Ling.

How dare you!

Please spare my life!

Please spare my life!

I have an old mother

and a little baby to support.

Let's go.

Where are we going?

The Dragon Gate Inn on the Dragon Gate Island.

Father, mother, where are you?

Mother!

Where are you?

Ling'er, run! Run!

Father, mother!

What's wrong?

Did you have a nightmare?

Everything is fine.

Relax and sleep for a while.

Captain,

why is it called Dragon Gate Island?

There is an ancient poem about it.

A great dragon soars above the sea, gathering clouds and winds.

It breaks through the heavens, revealing the gate of life.

It's precisely about this island.

The island is very evil!

Besides, it's far away from the continent,

and the government doesn't care here.

So robbery and theft are rampant here.

All kinds of people gather in this place.

You should be careful on the island!

[Dragon Gate Inn]

Please enjoy your meal!

Coming!

Young Master, let's have a drink!

Hey, don't go!

You heartless one!

Are you looking at that hussy again?

My dear, please forgive me!

Dear guests, our hostess is coming out!

Great!

You shameless hussy! I'll bite you to death!

[Hostess of Dragon Gate Inn, Jin Xiangyu]

The hostess is here!

You look so happy!

When will you

make me happy too?

Go away! Go home and flirt with your wife!

Stupid jerk!

Miyamoto!

What are you laughing at?

You don't scare me!

I've never liked you from the start!

It's rare for you two chiefs to come here.

I propose a toast to you two!

You're a good drinker!

You're a good drinker!

Good drinker!

That's awesome!

You've come just in time

to help clear up the messy atmosphere here.

Young Master, what's your name?

Why do you come to our Dragon Gate Island?

What business have you come for?

I'm just a passerby surnamed Zhou.

Oh, you are Young Master Zhou.

I'm Jin Xiangyu,

the hostess here.

Don't forget my name, hmm?

I want a superior room,

one pot of wine and two dishes.

Don't go. You haven't answered me!

Why did you come to Dragon Gate Island?

For what kind of treasure?

Why act like such a good guy?

Dazi!

Here's the wine!

Let me take you to the superior room!

No hurry.

This wine can knock someone out easily.

I dare not drink it.

I got the wrong wine.

Dazi, change it to another one!

Don't bother.

Grandma, I'm very hungry!

Hang in there.

It's for me?

Thank you!

Thank you!

Come and eat.

Interesting.

Let me help you, uncle.

Can you do this?

I bandaged wounds for my dad before.

Why did you save me?

Because I don't allow anyone to kill innocent people.

Don't be afraid. I'll protect you

and no one dare bully you again.

Commander, everything is ready.

We can leave early tomorrow morning.

All right.

We must arrive at the Dragon Gate Inn before the Hungry Ghost Festival.

Eunuch!

Pay back the 36 lives of my family!

Catch them!

Don't chase the cornered enemy.

Let's get on with business.

Yes.

They seem to be going to the Dragon Gate Inn.

Don't worry.

I won't miss this chance.

But they

are too strong.

[Qiu Mo Yan]

Even if the night is long,

someone must risk all to light a lamp.

Victory through nothingness,

harmony of body and mind.

Ling'er!

Ling'er, run!

Father! Mother!

Did you have a nightmare again?

Madam. What brings you here at this hour?

I'm scared of loneliness in the long night.

What's in here?

You chose to take the hard way.

Loyal and courageous?

You are an official.

Well.

You look decent. I didn't expect you to be a kidnapper.

Wicked bosslady, you've no right to speak to me so.

Don't be afraid.

I will take down this toy boy today!

Stop!

Stop fighting! He saved my life!

Madam!

Madam!

What?

You have a guest.

OK. Coming.

Okay bosslady.

[Dragon Gate Inn]

Madam, you have an honoured guest.

Hi, it's Mr. Ma.

What brings you here?

I have been missing you,

and brought you an important guest.

[Eunuch of Western Depot, Commander Su]

Madam,

arrange the best room

and serve him well.

I'm sorry, distinguished guests.

Our room is full.

Only the stable in the backyard is left.

If you don't mind, I will take you there.

How dare you!

We all know it's the only inn on the Island.

This is an important guest.

What do you take me, Ma Wu, for?

How arrogant,

turning my stomach.

I wondered who it could be.

Turns out it's Dragon Gate Island's Mr. Ma.

Miyamoto! It's none of your business here.

Shut your mouth!

Calm down, calm down!

The drinks are on me.

Our boss

wants all the best.

Is this enough?

Yes! Of course.

Okay, I'll give you the best room upstairs.

Tatar, hurry!

Beware of them, they wear official boots.

Arrange them in the next room.

Hurry up.

Gentlemen.

This way.

You have good moves.

Where are you from?

What is your purpose?

A passerby,

I am just passing through here.

Madam,

these days,

have you seen someone

with a little girl?

Little girl?

Is he a kidnapper?

Yes, the kidnapper

is a major criminal of the imperial court.

A major criminal?

Won't there be a hefty bounty on his head?

Of course.

I've heard a reward of 100,000 taels of gold for arresting him.

We're going to get rich!

Only a fool wouldn't hand him over.

Madam, do you know something?

Me?

Me? I certainly...

know nothing.

Well well,

I'll let you know immediately if I know.

We'll split the money by half.

You're so sensible.

Curse it! I'm already in bed!

Sorry to disturb you, Madam.

Wait a minute.

Mr. Zhou.

Seek only the proper sights.

Mr. Zhou,

On such a late night, is it loneliness,

solitude, or the chill that you're feeling?

Thank you for helping me today, madam.

I won't hold you up. Goodbye.

Madam.

Mr. Zhou,

if you really want to thank me,

take this sword as a gift.

The late emperor gifted this sword to my forebears,

it's the honor of the Zhou family.

You can have anything you want,

except this sword.

I can't do as you say.

Then come and take it if you want it.

Sorry, madam.

Come on.

Men and women should avoid close contact.

Please behave yourself.

Everything is wet. Why not stay for a bath?

Madam, I'm sorry.

Are you a man or not?

[Dragon Gate Inn]

Guests, here comes the wine.

We've hit the jackpot!

Stop drinking.

We didn't hire you to drink.

Don't delay our business.

Yes sir.

[Western Depot]

Why are people from the Western Depot here?

Have a good rest, esteemed guests, goodbye.

Mr. Zhou, what a coincidence.

Any news yet?

We've tried our best to find him.

Apart from hearing the bandit mention coming to Dragon Gate Inn,

is there any new clue?

That's all I heard.

The rest,

I don't know what the rest is.

I'm incompetent.

We've killed all the Qu family.

Now only that girl is left.

To achieve the dominance of Western Depot,

that girl is our only pawn.

We mustn't let her be captured by the Eastern Depot.

Even if we have to turn this place upside down,

we must find that girl.

Yes.

If anyone dares to oppose Western Depot,

I'll ensure he's buried in obscurity.

Who has such gall?

Daring to steal from Mr. Su.

Search!

Yes.

Search!

Ling'er, let's go. Let's get out of here.

Search!

Sir, this is the madam's room.

So what?

What do you want?

Cut the crap.

No way.

I have business to do.

Listen,

I'm here for a mission today.

Cut the crap.

Do you people have no respect for the law?

Law? There is no law in Dragon Gate Island.

Go away!

You're such a tease.

Ma,

you've been searching everywhere.

Why don't you rest here?

You are so sensible.

No wonder I've always doted on you.

Interesting.

Why are your hands so rough?

Maybe it's because I've been working too hard lately.

You're annoying, making fun of me like that.

It's good.

Be gentle.

OK. I'll be gentle.

What?

Mr. Ma,

I think we should get down to the main.

So you like playing hard to get as well.

Aren't you needed for the guests' needs?

That's all for today.

I can't afford to offend the guests.

I'd better find the person first.

I'll see you tonight.

Jerk.

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

No need to be afraid now.

No one can bully you.

This is my inn.

Are you hungry?

Take this.

What's your next plan?

Protect her, of course.

Keep drinking.

Coming.

Drink more.

All you know is drinking.

How is it? Do you like it?

Oh, are you a guest alone?

A superior room.

Tatar, a superior room.

You two losers.

One a drunkard and the other a glutton.

Can't even do this.

No, my lord.

Stop it.

Mo Yan.

I'm Zhou Huai'an.

Huai'an?

Mo Yan, why are you here?

I'm here to kill all the eunuchs,

to do heaven's will.

Don't act rashly.

They are outnumbered.

You're courting death.

Death?

When those eunuchs massacred my entire family,

I was already dead inside.

But now is not the time.

Not yet?

Your family has been loyal and filial to the court for generations.

Just for offending superiors,

your family has been framed for rebellion.

Have you forgotten?

No.

Then come with me,

go out and kill them all.

This is not the correct solution.

Besides,

isn't it proven that the Zhou family is guilty?

I have official business to do.

I can't be exposed.

After this,

I'll find a way to help my father and Lord Qiu clear up.

Official business?

I didn't expect

you are still working

for the royal court that sees human life as worthless as a straw.

I thought you were a hero.

It turns out you're also a villain who covets fame and fortune.

Mo Yan.

This is an important matter.

I can't tell you more details.

But no matter what,

I won't let you die in vain.

Zhou Huai'an, you're their running dog. Get out of my way.

Let go off me!

Where is the bone flute?

Damn eunuch.

Who is he to give orders?

Where can I find the girl he wants?

Yes.

It's getting late.

Mr. Ma, it's better to go back and rest.

Listen to me.

The imperial court is now governed by eunuchs and full of corruption.

When there comes someone who can bring order out of chaos,

the world will be on the right path.

Do you think the one on the throne can bring order out of chaos?

If not for his indulgence, do you think

the eunuchs of both Eastern and Western Depots dare to kill loyal people for the sake of power?

Zhou Huai'an.

You're a hypocrite.

How dare you have a love affair in my room!

And you! Don't you feel ashamed as a girl?

Nonsense!

Who?

Who's there? So annoying!

Got you!

Still try to escape?

Are you still protecting her?

Stop fighting!

Got you!

You must be the girl whom Lord Su is looking for.

You're quite good at hiding.

We even turned the inn inside out to find you.

As long as I hand you over,

I'll be successful in my career.

Damn it!

If you dare to make any noise again,

I'll make you a mute.

Even if you are crippled,

your price won't change.

Stop shouting!

How dare you?

It's you.

This little treasure is mine.

Mr. Ma.

Take a rest.

You bastard!

You bastards!

Sir.

Ling, are you okay?

Kill him. You'll get 30% and I'll get 70%.

Damn it. I'll get 70% and you'll get 30%.

Then you'll get 40% and I'll get 60%.

Deal!

Protect Ling.

Okay.

Leave it to me.

It's okay.

Don't be afraid. I'm here.

They won't hurt you again.

Don't be afraid.

Does it hurt?

Do you still think

it's just the eunuchs' rebellion for the time being?

Don't you think there's something wrong with the world?

The Eastern and Western Depots fought for this girl.

The law is nothing in their eyes.

Aren't you tired of it?

Why do you have to talk about it now?

Ling.

Do you know Chief Feng?

What does your family do?

Why do they want you?

My parents never mentioned it.

They just mentioned

the blood of our family

was cursed.

Blood?

Blood?

This bone flute is the only thing that my mother left to me.

I have no family now.

Don't be afraid. I'm here.

I will claim justice

for you and your parents.

[Eastern Depot]

Hurry up.

Get to work and hoist the sail!

Chief, today is the Ghost Festival.

Tell me.

Who caught Ma Wu?

Who on earth did it?

Fine. If we can't find Ma Wu today,

no one can leave.

Mr. Ma?

What happened to Mr. Ma?

Who dares to hurt him on this island?

Mr. Ma went missing in your inn.

It must have something to do with you.

Where is Miyamoto?

I saw him looking for Mr. Ma last night.

We can ask him. He knows everything.

Right. Last night,

Mr. Ma was drunk.

I saw Miyamoto following him.

That's bad.

Everyone on this island knows they are rivals.

Maybe they fought last night.

That's right.

That's right. Stop arguing.

Who are you to judge?

[Dragon Gate Inn]

Damn it! What a terrible weather!

How can it change so quickly?

What are you waiting for?

Come and help!

My inn is going to collapse.

Madam.

Be careful.

Hurry up.

What are you doing? Pick up the door and windows and make them up for me.

Hurry up!

What are you waiting for? Get to work!

Who are you to give orders?

Pick up the wood that you can find.

Then let the wind blow.

Stand up.

Do it!

Get back to work!

I'm exhausted.

I almost died.

Okay.

Thank you.

Alright.

It's a mess today.

Have a good rest.

Give me a bottle of wine.

My Lord, there's something on your head.

Today is the Ghost Festival. Your wine will be on the house. Cheers!

Great!

Cheers!

Don't act rashly.

If you lose your life for no reason,

how can you live up to your parents?

I can't watch you die in vain.

You look after your own concern

and leave me to my own affairs.

Leave me alone.

Let go off me.

What are you doing?

Let's drink.

Today is the Ghost Festival.

Let's have a drink.

She can't hold her liquor.

It's just a sip.

Alright.

I put a sleeping pill in her wine.

She'll be fine after a sleep.

You don't want her to die, do you?

My Lord.

The man in black

should be the masked man we met that day.

Are you sure?

I remember his eyes.

His back is injured.

It should be him.

Looks like they are suspicious again.

I'll leave her to you.

Tatar.

Coming.

Madam.

Take her in for a rest.

- Take care of her. - Okay.

Sir.

My master wants to treat you to a drink.

Sure, I love making friends.

You're a good drinker.

What kind of business do you do?

I do everything for a living

other than illegal things like stealing goods or killing people.

I didn't expect

there is such a righteous man like you in this world.

Unfortunately,

even a righteous hero won't end well.

Sometimes it's wise to follow the flow.

Thank you for reminding me.

But I just can't associate with the evil.

Then there's no need to talk.

Hand her over.

Why isn't there anyone who greets us?

It's really an uncivilized place.

So rude.

Commander Su, you are also here.

Any official business to deal with?

Wang Fu.

Stop being sarcastic!

Is it necessary for the Western Depot

to report to you?

Then I don't think you can do what you want.

Feng.

Your Eastern Depot seems so powerful.

How dare you kidnap people from the Western Depot?

Aren't you afraid His Majesty will blame you?

How dare you!

Do you want to die?

You want to die?

My Lord.

Feng, I will report you to the court.

I'll see how you'll explain to His Majesty.

By the Grace of Heaven,

the Emperor decrees that

Su Ruiwu, Commander of the Western Depot, violated the law

and caused chaos in the palace.

His crime is intolerable.

He must be dismissed

and executed immediately.

Commander Su.

Are you satisfied with this imperial edict?

This... This is a false edict!

Your whole family will be executed!

You are crazy!

I am the representative of His Majesty.

Zhou Huai'an.

What are you waiting for?

Bring your men to report to the Chief.

I will take you away.

Let's go.

Chief.

Are you Zhou Huai'an?

Yes.

Where is she? Didn't I ask you to bring her here?

She's now in a safe place.

Your mission is done.

You must be tired.

The Chief never mistreats his own men.

He'll surely explain everything to His Majesty

to clear General Zhou's name

and help you revive the Zhou family.

She has no family.

I wonder how you'll deal with her in the future.

This is a secret.

You have no right to know.

But the Qu family has been killed.

I promised her that I would claim justice for her parents.

Zhou Huai'an.

Who are you?

How dare you talk to the Chief like that?

Hand her over now.

Sorry, I can't do as you say.

What are you doing?

How dare you!

Search the place.

Find the daughter of the Qu family for me.

Hurry!

Run!

Qu Ling!

Let go of me!

Qu Ling!

Uncle, help me! Help me!

Help me!

Uncle, help me!

Kill them!

Kill them all!

Wake up!

Wake up!

A fight broke out outside! You'd better run!

Let go of me! Let go of me!

Let go of me! Let go of me!

You're so bad!

Ling, I'll leave it to you later.

Please play a song.

Just play the melody inherited from your family.

Those officials can only harm the loyal and good ones

and oppress the people.

They deserve death!

Maybe the previous ruling for your Zhou family can be overturned.

Zhou Huai'an, who do you think you are?

How dare you talk to the Chief like that?

This is a false edict,

which can get all our relatives killed!

I'll kill all the eunuchs

and bring justice in the name of Heaven.

Why did you save me?

Because I won't allow anyone to kill innocent people.

The legend of the elixir is so true!

Huai'an!

Eunuch!

Looks like they haven't gone far.

Let's go after them.

It's too late!

The little girl won't live long.

What?

Back then, the First Emperor of the Qin Dynasty ordered Xu Fu to go east to get the elixir.

When Xu Fu returned to the city,

he changed his mind.

He thought the First Emperor of the Qin Dynasty was tyrannical.

So he hid the treasure

near Dragon Gate Island.

The girl surnamed Qu

is the descendant of Xu Fu's Guardians of Treasure.

Only she

can summon the Guardian Beast.

Only with her blood,

the treasure can be opened.

Inside

is the elixir obtained by Xu Fu,

namely, Tianyi Divine Water!

Where is the treasure?

The treasure

is under the seabed beneath the cliffs of Dragon Gate Island.

My Lord.

Madam!

Tatar, you stay here!

Otherwise, there will be no one to manage my Dragon Gate Inn

after I'm gone.

Madam!

[Dragon Gate Inn]

Let go of me! Let go!

Let go!

Finally...

I finally got the Tianyi Divine Water.

Ling!

You animal! You don't care about others' lives!

Didn't those losers kill you?

You killed the innocent,

faked the imperial edict,

and used me to find Qu Ling.

You did all of these to satisfy your selfish desire!

To achieve my goal,

everyone in the world is my pawn.

Even the emperor is my pawn,

not to mention you.

How arrogant you are!

You animal, either you or I will die today!

Are you wishing to die?

Qu Ling!

Qu Ling!

Tianyi Divine Water

reshapes and revives lives.

I can finally become a real man again.

As long as I get the Tianyi Divine Water,

I can live an immortal life

and do whatever I want.

I'm the greatest in the world!

For the sake of Qu Ling

and the people in the world,

I will kill you

even if I have to die!

Victory through nothingness,

harmony of body and mind.

You think you can hurt me with this broken sword?

As long as the sword is fast enough,

the sword energy can still finish the killing.

Leave now! The cave is collapsing!

Ling.

Ling.

Ling, I'm sorry.

I broke my promise.

By the way,

try this out.

Let her drink it. Come on.

I hope this magic medicine

will work.

- Ling! - Ling!

- Ling! - You're awake!

Ling!

Ling is awake! That's great!

Honest Man, this time,

you owe me another favor.

No.

You are right.

The world is indeed in chaos.

It needs an external force

to push it hard

to bring it back to the right path.

If there's no existing external force...

I

Will become the external force.

Hasn't the medicine

arrived yet?

Your Majesty,

please wait a little longer.

They will bring back the Tianyi Divine Water.
