[Episode 5]

Miss Gongsun?

I never thought that in this lifetime, I would meet you here.

People who come here inquire about matters that are shameful and unmentionable.

With a person of your status appearing here,

you must have a very important question to ask.

Is Bai Shanshui transacting a deal with you over the Lone Mountain Sword Trove?

It appears that Miss Gongsun is also interested in the Lone Mountain Sword Trove.

I'm just very curious about why you would want the Lone Mountain Sword Trove.

I know the rules of the Fish Market.

I can choose not to reply to your question.

In the past ten years, we had lived our lives in complete darkness.

Ten years ago, the Gongsun family was the victim.

How is it not the same for us, the Shang family?

It is just that the current Great Heng is no longer the same as it was ten years ago.

Did you want the Lone Mountain Sword Trove because you want to overthrow the current Great Heng,

or because you want to eliminate the remaining few swords of the Ba Mountain Sword Academy?

After all, the destruction of the Gongsun family clan that year was related to that person.

You need not concern yourself with who I want to seek vengeance from.

In short, you can't sell the information to Bai Shanshui.

I think you have misunderstood.

Although the Fish Market is a place where business transactions are carried out,

besides the buyer and seller, there is also a middle-man in every transaction.

I do not have any information on the Lone Mountain Sword Trove.

Bai Shanshui is the one with the information.

Only that she won't sell it to me.

[Tent of the Commander-in-Chief of the Tiger-Wolf Army]

General, that youth has joined the White Goat Cave, [Liang Lian: Commander-in-Chief, Northwestern Tiger-Wolf Army of the Heng Kingdom]

but he will return to Wutong Falls every night. [Qi Pomo: Military Advisor or Tiger-Wolf Army]

Then, just let him die in Wutong Falls.

What's wrong?

Perhaps because the axle was not fixed properly last time and we are in a hurry now, [Zhou Sansheng: Two-Story Tower]

so some problems have arisen.

It's late. Are there still places open to fix the wagon?

I don't think so, but I'll get it fixed tomorrow.

Then I'll get off here.

Okay.

As you had expected, Liang Lian is preparing to take action against the Two-Story Tower. [Bai Gongfeng: Bureau of Heavenly Supervision]

If he really takes action,

it means that my inference is not wrong.

The person behind Jinlintang is Liang Lian.

I have really been feeling a little weak lately. [Wang Taixu: leader of Two-Story Tower]

[Knowing Blade Upon Smelling the Fragrance]

[Bai Shanshui, Seventh Realm: Cloud Water Palace of Qian Kingdom]

Where do you think you're going?

What merciless means!

If I had not seen them with my own eyes,

I would definitely not believe that these were the actions of a cultivator who had just started to practice cultivation for less than a month!

Who are you people?

I'm only in charge of killing you.

You can't go on any longer.

If you continue on,

it will only add pain before your death.

Are you okay?

I won't die.

Take this.

Why are you here?

When I was checking the carriage just now, I discovered that someone had damaged it.

I expected you would be in danger, that is why I came here.

Thank you for saving my life. I owe you a life now.

Brother, you are courteous. I'll go take a look.

You must not move. Before the Holy Capital Surveillance and Bureau of Heavenly Supervision get here,

we'll try our best to keep the place in its original state.

Sending out so many people to kill a nobody like me,

it means the big fish must be very well hidden.

Tell Wang Taixu that if there have been no mishaps in other places, the people of Two-Story Tower should

stay as far away from what happened here tonight.

Do not also let other people know that you had been involved in what happened tonight.

All right.

Where are you going?

Home.

Reporting to General! The person escaped!

What?

Wang Taixu must die within three days!

If Wang Taixu is not dead, you should know what to do!

Yes!

Don't look at me like that.

I fear I'll be directly collecting your dead body the next time.

I know. Little Aunt can't bear for me to die.

Stop saying that.

It was not easy for me to walk all the way back here despite my injury.

Can you not get angry with me?

You still know to come back?

If you had come back earlier, I would—

The reason I want the Lone Mountain Treasure Trove is indeed because of the Heng king.

We have the same target. We are on the same side.

Since our target is the Heng king,

why have I not heard of any actions you have taken against the Heng king?

I have insufficient cultivation.

This is not enough to convince me.

What do you need me to do for you to give it to me?

Unless you use real actions to prove to me that

you are not the Heng king's subordinate.

You would what?

You have gotten into so much trouble since you left for White Goat Cave only a few days.

What confused me today is

that cultivator whose face was masked

pretended from the start that

he was an assassin who was paid a fee by someone.

But I am very certain he was a cultivator from the army.

He was completely capable of killing me and Zhou Sansheng,

and he was also not someone who feared death.

But he was unwilling to get injured right from the start.

He kept holding back and was rushing to escape.

If he hadn't given himself so many restraints right from the start,

we couldn't have killed him so easily.

Only someone with a special identity would have so many concerns.

So, I am guessing that he and his master

must come from Great Heng's military.

If this incident has something to do with the sponsor behind Jinlintang,

what I'm more worried about

is Wang Taixu.

Little Aunt, how could you sneak attack me?

If I didn't divert your attention, your screams would have been so loud for our neighbors to hear.

Enough now. Your ribs have been put back into place.

It is still you who cares about me the most.

That's so painful, Little Aunt!

- How is DIng Ning. - He is saved.

But we were both hurt.

My injuries were mild, while his were more serious.

It's good that he's alive.

Tower Master, many brothers of Two-Storey Tower died in one night.

All the strongholds also suffered surprise attacks.

What should we do?

Let the brothers spread out and hide.

Don't show any traces.

Tomorrow, I will leave here.

Senior Brother!

Senior Brother, Ding Ning was almost killed last night.

[Xue Wangxu: Cave Master of White Goat Cave]

Wang Taixu sent news that the assassins were led [Li Daoji: White Goat Cave]

by a cultivator in the Energy Core Realm.

Ding Ning broke two ribs and got other injuries.

However, that kid is a fighter.

He joined forces with Zhou Sansheng who is only at the Energy Refinement Realm

and killed that Energy Core Realm cultivator.

Very good.

This kid brought pride to our White Goat Cave.

Senior Brother, this is a glorious matter.

It's been many years since something in White Goat Cave

made me feel happy and proud.

Finally, we have a disciple who achieved the Profound Connection Realm in half a day.

He may even cultivate into the Energy Refinement Realm within a month,

but he almost got killed last night.

This won't do. I must come out of seclusion.

Otherwise, they will think I am dead.

White Goat Cave's carriage is already waiting outside.

Little Aunt.

It's an unusual circumstance today. I must hurry back to White Goat Cave.

I can't cook porridge for you.

I already made the porridge.

If you cause any more trouble, don't come back.

Thank you, Little Aunt. I know.

I'm actually not that hungry.

I'll leave then.

It's not fully cooked.

Brother, how is your injury?

- I'm okay. - Good.

Brother, get in the carriage.

Is it so bad?

Looks like you didn't fare much better than me.

It's really bad.

The brothers who had fought for our domain together,

the ones who can hold up Two-Story Tower after I die,

all died last night.

Only you and I are alive.

It looks like the elite person behind Jinlintang

refuse to accept defeat.

As long as I can last the next few days,

I will make him pay

for it.

We need to rush more than usual today.

- Please speed up. - Okay.

Move aside!

Chief Ye.

Tiger-Wolf Army?

It was really Liang Lian.

So many people at the checkpoint.

Is it related to last night's incident?

If that matter was indeed the doing of a military official,

they may plan to kill you.

Stop!

It doesn't look like the usual Fengming checkpoint.

I may meet my end here today.

If I have to attack,

don't follow me out.

I probably won't gather your corpse for you,

but I will seek revenge for you.

What are you doing? This is a White Goat Cave's carriage.

White Goat Cave's carriage still needs to be checked.

This is a document issued by the Holy Capital Surveillance

giving us free pass all the way to avoid mishaps.

That document is nullified.

Nullified? Why?

Because I am Duan Zhiqiu.

The commander of the Qi Gate Guards with a hundred household in my fief.

I'm afraid I'm beyond your confines.

I can recognize that man's gaze.

He was the one that tried to kill me last night.

I can see that the military people behind Jinlintang

aren't easy to handle.

People in the wagon!

Come out!

I fought him yesterday.

His cultivation has reached the fifth realm, making him a strong man in the military.

I am severely injured now.

I don't think I can escape this blockade.

You must prepare yourself.

I'd like to see who dares harass White Goat Cave's people.

You must be White Goat Cave's cave master, Xue Wangxu.

Even though you are the cave master of White Goat Cave,

you are not qualified to interfere with my checkpoint.

Soldier, did you just recently return to Fengming?

White Goat Cove is now merged with Green Vine Sword School.

Didn't you know it?

Teacher is right.

He must have just returned from foreign lands.

Soldier, White Goat Cave is already a part of Green Vine Sword School.

You are targeting White Goat Cave. Are you perhaps unhappy with the queen's edict?

The queen is not for you to talk about.

I sure would like to see

what strength you have to qualify you to say such words!

[Duanmu Lian and Di Qingmei of Green Vine Sword School]

Teacher, this...

This is the Mountain Moving Realm.

Your Majesty, this is Mountain Moving Realm.

Great Heng truly has many martial arts masters.

Soon, the world will completely pledge allegiance to our king.

Teacher, what's wrong?

Come, come.

Cave Master.

How is it? How is your body?

A little weak.

Teacher, are you okay?

At this old age, I don't rely on physical strength.

Return to White Goat Cave!

Teacher, I do not understand.

With so many mountains around White Goat Cave,

why did you choose Green Vine Sword School's peak?

We are already combined into one school.

Don't think so much.

Headmaster Di won't mind it.

That old fox Xue Wangxu!

No wonder they dare to refuse to hand over the Spirit Vein and disobey the queen.

It turns out he has reached the seventh realm.

That Xue Wangxu deliberately lured and gathered the vital energy of Heaven and Earth

around our Green Vine Sword School right before the Sword Trial Festival.

He is boasting their force to us.

Thank you, Cave Master Xue, for saving my life.

Don't thank me.

If you want to thank someone, thank him.

If it wasn't for him reaching the Profound Connection Realm in half a day,

and achieved something that gives me honor,

I wouldn't have left the mountain.

Your performance today wasn't too shabby.

I'm very satisfied.

Thank you for your satisfaction.

This time, your injuries don't seem light.

It's only a few days before the Sword Trial Festival of Green Vine Sword School.

Are you worried I won't be able to take back those Spirit Veins?

I have a lot of faith in you.

You have a good sense of what's appropriate.

You and White Goat Cave go way back.

You can live behind my mountains for a few days.

Thank you, Cave Master, for taking us in.

Ding Ning!

Ding Ning, you sure are an awesome oddity.

Those two books were useful for you?

I should be able to break through to the third realm soon. [Nangong Caishu: Green Vine Sword School]

As long as they were helpful.

You spoke up for me that day in front of the mountain entrance. I don't owe you now.

What do you mean owing me and owing you?

I spoke up a few words for you. It's nothing compared to this.

Regarding cultivation, your help has saved me seven years.

Maybe even more than seven years.

Perhaps, you think that because you are a disciple of White Goat Cave,

you should naturally distance yourself from us, the Green Vine Sword School.

But I don't care about those.

Even if you don't see me as a friend, I still must thank you.

You mentioned about your body's problem.

I know that your cultivation is more urgent than other people's.

If you need any elixir pills to speed up your cultivation,

you must let me know.

If you really want to help me,

then don't tell anyone that I picked those two books for you.

Including your parents and teacher.

Why?

If cultivation progresses too quickly, it may cause some unnecessary troubles.

If someone cultivates quickly,

and is known to have strong comprehension and perception of cultivation scriptures,

then there will be even more problems.

You know I don't have much time.

I don't have time for others to use me.

I need to devote all my time to cultivation.

Okay, I promise I won't tell anyone.

I, Liang Lian, respectfully greet My Lady Queen.

I have warned you

that even if you want to swallow that piece of fat meat in the market place that is the Two-Story Tower,

you can't use such simple and rough means.

You left me in disappointment.

That was an outlier.

That wasn't an outlier, that was your choice.

If not for the fact that you had also wanted to kill that young lad from the tavern by Wang Taixu's side,

you would never have alarmed Xue Wangxu at all.

Have you ever thought that if Xue Wangxu had been so weak and small,

he would have disappeared from Fengming City a long time ago.

Would we still need to merge White Goat Cave with the Green Vine Sword School?

You are too anxious to eliminate the root of the trouble,

which led to your eventual failure.

But I think if we were to stamp out any trouble, we must root it out entirely.

Only thinking about what's in front of you.

But you have forgotten that any cultivator in Fengming City

is a treasure of Great Heng.

Even if they were to die, they must die on the battlefield

and not by your scheme.

You have come here this time for the purpose of being conferred the rank of a marquis.

But you should know that you are not the only choice.

Having committed a lapse like this with no apparent reason,

you will surely become the subject of ridicule for many people.

I know I am wrong and am willing to atone for my misdeeds with a merit. As for the marquis conferment,

may I trouble Queen to help me with it?

There will be an opportunity,

but you should prove your innocence first.

Innocence?

I don't know how much of Fengming's situation you have learned.

Both the deaths of Marquis Dugu and Song Shenshu pointed to that person's descendant.

You were once his carriage driver and extremely close to him.

It is inevitable that other people would be suspicious.

Your Majesty should know that it cannot be me.

Now, Ye Celeng is investigating this case.

She has started to suspect you.

I am kindly reminding you.

Instead of arguing, why don't you prove yourself through practical deeds? Otherwise,

all those unwanted ridicules would become a stumbling block on your conferment as a noble.

You are dismissed.

Thank you for your guidance, My Lady. I will take my leave.

General, why did you sigh?

I really want to find out exactly

who that youth is from the tavern!

[Wutong Falls Tavern]

Ye Celeng.

What are you doing?

I just came out of the palace. I have nothing to do with your case.

You're crazy!

In broad daylight,

General and Chief Ye are fighting openly. Do you not think you are acting with impropriety? [Chen Xuan: Superintendent of Holy Capital Surveillance]

I suspect General Liang is the murderer, so I tested his moves.

I just returned to Fengming!

May I ask which murder case you are investigating that am I involved with?

Song Shenshu and Marquis Dugu both died from that person's martial arts technique.

I do not know which of these murder cases has General Liang been involved with,

or are both these murder cases related to you?

We both followed him then.

Are you not making this as child's play if you determine your suspicion through just martial arts techniques?

Furthermore, everyone knows that the divine art of Nine-Death Silkworm has not been passed down to anyone.

But if I knew the Stone Mill Sword Technique,

Chief Ye, you would be a suspect, too!

So, General,

do you know, or not know?

Enough!

You two don't need to argue.

We are all working for Great Heng.

Suspecting and fighting each other,

are we not making ourselves a laughing stock in front of the common people?

I am different from him.

Chief Ye, are you implying that your heart

is not loyal to Great Heng?

My heart is totally loyal towards Great Heng, but all you care about is a promotion to the rank of nobility.

Those seven corpses in Wutong Falls were your men, right?

Could it be that the Bureau of Heavenly Supervision also wants to get involved

in the disputes of the martial arts universe?

Furthermore, this has nothing to do with the case of that person's descendant, am I right?

Really?

If we find that the people from the Temple (government) are involved behind these disputes of the martial arts world,

the Holy Capital Surveillance will not sit back and do nothing.

Good. Then, I would suggest that the Holy Capital Surveillance and the Bureau of Heavenly Supervision join hands

to find the truth behind this case.

Today, you pick a fight in broad daylight; that is too reckless.

Using your public power to avenge a private grudge will not benefit you.

I am not seeking revenge.

Liang Lian is indeed a suspect.

You know very well in your heart whether he is suspicious or not.

Is it for this case

or for that person?

[Minister Li: Prime Minister of the Heng Kingdom]

Congratulations, My King, for entering into the eighth realm, Heaven Opening!

Long live My King! Long live Great Heng!

Long live My King! Long live Great Heng!

Congratulations, My King, for coming out of seclusion.

My King, you are the first person to reach the eighth realm in this world.

My Queen, can someone really ascend to the ninth realm?

Can someone really achieve

immortality?
