[Episode 23]

Seize the leader of the rebellion, Huo Yuan Jia!

Yes.

How dare you?

Lord Lu,

didn't you read Ta Kung Pao today?

Huang Wen Fa has already stated...

that he is no longer Huo Yuan Jia's disciple.

Everyone in Jinmen knows that.

But you brought Huang Wen Fa to Huo Residence to kill him?

What is the meaning of this?

When my husband was wrongly imprisoned,

I went to Beijing to file a complaint.

Today,

if anyone of you dares to touch Huo Yuan Jia,

I will go to Beijing to speak to His Majesty about this.

I refuse to believe...

that there is no one who can control…

all you court officials when you repeatedly set…

false charges and abuse your powers…

in the name of revenge.

[Declaration]

That's right, Lord Lu.

Look.

This is a declaration Huang Wen Fa himself published.

If you simply capture Huo Yuan Jia,

how would you justify yourself?

What are you doing?

Jinmen police, where are you?

Huo Yuan Jia,

this is not over!

Let's go!

Yuan Jia,

it's true that the imperial envoy was assassinated at Jinmen Train Station.

I still have official business to attend to.

Goodbye.

Mother.

Mother.

Why must such tragedy befall our family?

Mother.

Don't cry.

Zhen Sheng, Da You,

take Ah Fa's corpse away.

Mother.

Ah Fa has stayed in our house for years.

He's like family.

Let's have you, my sister-in-law,

and the children...

send him off at the cemetery.

Alright.

Let's go to the cemetery.

We'll give Ah Fa a final farewell.

Look at this.

This hat.

It does look like her.

This female assassin is pretty skilled with her Deceptive Fist.

Lord Lu.

The person in the portrait...

resembles the one in this picture.

Let me take a look.

Lord Lu, take a look.

Who is this woman?

This woman committed a crime in Dong'guang.

She is Mr. Xue's murderer.

Xue Xue?

Yes.

The magistrate who helped me set up Huo Yuan Jia?

Yes.

I see.

-Summon Gao Qi! -Yes!

Come here.

This woman is called Sha Yan,

right?

Yes.

She is the murderer who killed the magistrate of Dong'guang?

Did you know about that?

I...

Tell me!

I do.

Does Huo Yuan Jia know?

Of course he knows.

Sha Yan killed Xue Xue because of my master.

What?

Why didn't you say so earlier?

Hurry up!

Quick!

[Huo Residence]

Hurry up!

My lord, they're not here.

They're gone. Not a single person is here.

Huo Yuan Jia...

Burn it!

Burn down Huo Residence!

[Tolerance]

Is this the place?

Yes, this is the place.

Attack!

Go!

Nothing. The place is littered with cobwebs.

I don't think they've come.

Where could the whole family have gone?

Burn down the houses!

Yes!

[Ying Villa]

[Heaven is Health, Earth is Duty]

Lord Lu, congratulations on taking over Eagle Claw Sect as the sect leader.

[All Rivers Merge into the Sea]

Are you sure about this?

I had been exiled from this very sect in the past.

The former sect leader was foolish.

That's right. I think he's senile.

Did you just call my master senile?

You're asking for death!

I'm sorry, Lord Lu.

I said the wrong words.

Uncle,

The Eagle Claw Sect is in disarray.

Only under your leadership...

will our sect return to its former glory.

That's right, Uncle.

We're willing to follow you!

That's true.

My senior may have be the best in fighting,

but he is a recluse.

I'm a busy man with many important duties.

Then again,

I shall reluctantly take up the mantle.

Lord Lu, congratulations on taking over as leader of Eagle Claw Sect!

Do your words carry weight?

As it is, the Eagle Claw Sect is in shambles.

What if the others deny my authority?

If anyone does that,

I will kill him for you!

For now on,

anyone who dares to oppose you shall die!

That's right!

We're willing to risk our lives for you!

We won't shrink from death!

We will risk our lives and not shrink from death!

Aren't you loyal?

Stay here tonight.

I have a reward for you.

Go take a rest.

Yes!

Pardon me, General Herman.

I had something to deal with.

Sorry for holding up our drinking session.

I'm curious.

You are a general, too.

Why do you still want to be a sect leader?

This is something you westerners do not understand.

In China,

apart from the imperial government,

there exist a veritable arena...

known as the martial world.

I entered the imperial government to become an official...

because I wanted to dominate the martial world.

Today is a good day for me.

I have been waiting for more than 20 years for this.

Herman,

you're my best friend.

stay here and drink with me tonight.

Gao Qi!

Lord Lu.

Prepare the guest room for General Herman.

Get two of our best and most obedient people...

to serve him.

Understood.

The best?

The most obedient?

What do you mean?

Let me tell you.

Girls?

Is that what you call them?

How uncouth.

We prefer to call them virgins.

I didn't expect that there would be such...

creature comforts at your villa.

They are just an elixir for me.

Elixir?

What do you mean?

I got a recipe lately.

By harvesting Yin energy to replenish Yang energy, I can become young again.

The recipe is very effective.

Lately, my Eagle Claw Method has improved because of this.

Let me try, then.

Try it.

[Ying Villa]

You,

offer a toast to General Herman.

If Herman hadn't put in a good word for me in front of Prince Qingqin,

I wouldn't have been promoted so quickly.

A toast to General Herman!

[Ying Villa]

Lord Lu.

Now that you're our new leader,

do you have any orders for us?

Huo Yuan Jia.

As long as he is living,

I will not rest easy!

Don't worry, sect leader.

The Eagle Claw Sect spreads far and wide.

Tracking down Huo Yuan Jia would be a cinch.

That's right.

In less than a month,

I'll bring his head to you as tribute.

Shut up!

You're not his opponent!

We know that he's pretty skilled.

We've done our homework.

He only has two disciples left.

We have at least 500 to 600 men at our disposal.

A single person cannot win against many.

He's right!

Lord Lu,

just wait for our good news!

Sect leader,

once we kill Huo Yuan Jia,

you can rest easy!

-Come, a toast to the sect leader! -Come!

A toast to you as well.

After this cup of wine, I'll retire into my room.

I really look forward...

to the special arrangement...

you've made for me.

Come, cheers!

Alright!

Show Mr. Herman his room.

Yes.

Mr. Herman, this way, please.

Who are you?

How dare you invade Lord Lu's guesthouse?

I am Huo Yuan Jia of Jinmen...

and I have come for Lu Si Ying's life!

Who is it?

Huo Yuan Jia!

Wait!

It really is you.

A normal person wouldn't be able to find my villa.

But you actually found it.

Well?

Did you come here to die?

Lu Si Ying.

Do you know what date it is today?

Today?

Today is the day you die.

This, I know.

Today is the 100th day since my beloved disciple, Huang Wen Fa died.

I shall settle the score with you once and for all...

and cleanse the martial world of a scum.

Huo Yuan Jia,

let me tell you.

There is no scum in the martial world.

There is only the strong,

and that is me, Lu Si Ying.

The strong shall rule. That is the law of the martial world.

I forgot to tell you.

Today, I have become the leader of Eagle Claw Sect.

Meet my four great protectors.

If you're indeed skilled, throw away your spear.

See if your Deceptive Fist...

can defeat their Eagle Claw Method.

Lu Si Ying,

because of your instigation,

Eagle Claw Sect is full of internal strife.

In two months, dozens of people had died.

These four are your accomplices...

and scum of the martial world, just like you.

I will kill you all today.

I have Huo Spear with me.

No need to sully my fists with these scumbags.

Get him!

Xu Da You!

How dare you do this?

How could you sneak into Lord Lu's residence?

Are you mad?

Did you forget who taught you on Master's behalf?

How dare you speak of Master!

Liu Zhen Sheng!

Guards!

Catch the assassin!

Gao Qi!

Look what you've done.

Da You, untie them.

Liu Zhen Sheng,

even if you want to die, don't drag Da You into this!

Xu Dao You,

are you stupid?

What were you thinking taking on Lord Lu with Liu Zhen Sheng?

Xiao Lian is waiting for you to marry her!

Run!

I came to avenge Ah Fa.

Da You!

Have you forgotten our master's words?

Da You.

He might not be alone.

He still has two disciples.

Find them.

Kill them without mercy!

-Yes! -Yes!

There's no need to continue fighting like this.

Let me kill him with one shot.

Since Huo Yuan Jia came to my doorstep,

I will accept his challenge.

These four muppets must have worn down Huo Yuan Jian.

I'll deal with him later.

Once I kill Huo Yuan Jia,

you may fire your gun in celebration.

Why must you do this?

These are the rules of the martial world.

You wouldn't understand.

Thank you for saving us.

You two should leave now.

Heroes!

We have other friends who are bound in other rooms.

Where are they? Bring us to them.

Alright.

Let's go.

[Vintage Wine]

Zhen Sheng, what should we do?

Kill them.

Don't kill me.

But we must abide by Master's rules.

They are Ying Si's accomplices.

They've slaughtered the Huo clan...

and abducted women.

They deserve death.

Fire!

Hurry up and shoot!

Master!

Sha Yan!

You're the bandit who killed the imperial envoy and Dong'guang's magistrate!

Master,

that westerner is the one who poisoned you!

That's right. It was him.

Today, we will not spare any of them.

Miss,

surrender now.

Sleep with me,

and I will let you know how a German loves a woman.

Lord Lu will spare you.

Scum of Eagle Claw Sect.

You think you could outnumber me?

Sha Yan,

if you're my younger sister,

cut off his tongue.

Huo Yuan Jia,

looks like you came prepared.

I've came to take your life today.

I'm pulling out all the stops.

Huo Yuan Jia,

you worry about Ying Si.

Leave these scumbags to me.

A signal from Ying Villa!

Round up!

Lord Lu is in danger!

To the mountain! Save Lord Lu!

Huo Yuan Jia,

did you think I have so few men in Ying Villa?

You think you can ambush me?

Think again!

When the army at the base sees the beacon fire,

they will rush to my aid!

Once my army arrives,

all your heads will roll!

This is it.

Step through the door and you're safe.

Girls,

hurry up and go.

-Thank you. -Thank you.

Let's go! Hurry!

Master!

I don't need you here.

Go to the front court to help Sha Lang.

Go!

Let's go!

Not bad, Sister.

You actually cut off his tongue.

Let's go. Let's help our master.

Gao Qi?

Master!

Gao Qi?

Chase after Gao Qi!

After him!

Thinking of escaping?

Fat chance!

Brother Sha,

let me handle him.

No.

You're hurt!

It's okay.

It won't stop me from killing a traitor

Gao Qi!

Sha Yan!

Let me go, Sha Yan!

Da You,

bring him to our master.

Da You!

Master!

Master!

Where is Wang Wu's sword?

[Wang Wu]

Here is the sword!

Master!

Master!

Well done, Master!

Well done!

Master,

the dart was meant for Ying Si!

I wouldn't dream of killing you, Master!

I've been your disciple for nearly 20 years!

Nearly 20 years, Master!

Ying Si forced me into this!

Zhen Sheng!

He was your brother for nearly 20 years.

You cannot kill him.

Master, let me do it!

No!

Gao Qi once taught you in my place.

Da You, you mustn't kill him.

Master!

Leave.

Master,

you can't do this.

I took him under my wing when he was a boy.

I bear responsibility...

for how he ended up today.

He has called me his master for many years.

I cannot kill him.

You are brothers.

You must not kill each other.

Let him go.

You wouldn't let yourself...

or your disciples to kill him.

But you can't stop me.

If you let him live,

he'll surely tell the local authorities.

You will be held accountable for the lives lost today.

But if you wouldn't claim victory with me,

whatever shall be your family's fate?

Did you think of that?

Master, Ying Si's reinforcements are about to arrive.

Let's go.

Da You!

Carry Gao Qi.

I order you to give him a proper burial.

No questions asked.

Master, don't worry.

[First Sunlight in Spring]

Finally, I get to burn this place down!

Ying Si burned down two of your houses.

Don't you want to burn one of his?

Besides, the fire will destroy all the evidence.

No one will be able to figure out...

what happened here tonight.

Master,

it's the right thing to do.

No matter where we settle down next,

the local authorities cannot give us trouble.

[4th Grade Physician Lord Tan's Grave] [Guangxu Reign, 27th Year]

[Lord Tan]

[He endures for eternity,]

[as stones gather to make up the world.]

[He stands tall alone, and mountains gather to him...]

[like waves]

[Xiang Kun, Shan Gen]

Mr. Nong, this way please.

Yuan Jia.

Jin Sun.

Did you come to visit Lord Tan, too?

I heard you came to pay your respects...

to Lord Tan on the last Tomb-Sweeping Day.

So I thought you might come this year as well.

I didn't expect you would come so early.

If I were 15 minutes late,

I would've missed you yet another year.

What is this?

Ah Fa left it behind.

Please give it to his parents.
