Young Master,
Xing has nothing to do with this.
I am a despicable man without family.
But Xing is a good girl.
She once saved me
with a single bowl of rice.
They captured Xing.
I had no choice but...
Young Master,
my death means nothing.
I only have one request.
Please save Xing.
Who said I'd kill you?
You won't?
When you were 7, you were sold into the Li Sect.
Elder Qiu saw your talent
and adopted you.
Later, because you handled affairs
with sharpness
and efficiency,
you earned Nie Zhe's trust
and became the Master of Qinglong Altar.
Later,
you fell out of favor with Nie Zhe.
But it was not because of incompetence.
It was because you had the altar
avoid taxes when you could
and delayed corvée labor
whenever possible.
After all these years,
the disciples under you benefited,
but Nie Zhe
gradually lost trust in you.
Young Master.
Someone once told me
that to judge a person,
you should not look at how good they are in good times,
but how bad they can be in bad times.
You have fallen again and again.
You seem to drift with the wind,
yet you always act with restraint.
Therefore,
I am willing to keep you.
Young Master,
please bring Xing back.
I'll do
anything for you
and repay you with my life.
Return to Qinglong Altar first.
Wait for news.
Yes.
After the Six Sects were attacked,
many scouts were placed along the post roads.
To avoid exposing our trail,
we must disguise ourselves.
There are clothes inside.
You're so thoughtful.
You're truly diligent and studious.
You even bring books on a trip.
100 Ways to Win a Lady Over?
(100 Ways) Yuzhi is slow-witted.
I have to worry more.
I believe
Lingbo will surely understand
your feelings for her.
I'll go change clothes first.
(100 Ways to Win a Lady Over)
(Shangguan Haonan) What do you mean?
Are you trying to rebel?
Chief.
What happened.
Chief,
today's assassination attempt on Mu Qingyan
was stopped by a group of masked men.
The leader's build
and moves
closely resembled Shangguan's.
Within the sect,
only he can fight me
and gather so many men
in just a few days.
Chief...
Shangguan,
what do you say?
She's just framing me.
You failed in the assassination
and want me to take the blame.
So, please produce some solid evidence.
What builds and moves?
That is sheer nonsense.
The sect is full of hidden talents.
The Mu clan is deeply rooted.
What is strange about Mu Qingyan
having experts by his side?
At the Chen hour today,
Mr. Shangguan, where are you?
And who can testify for you?
You can't answer that?
Clearly, you're suspicious.
This morning, Shangguan was with me.
Elder Hu,
since the Chief has testified,
Shangguan is naturally innocent.
Do not bring this up again.
It's my fault for being careless
and failing to capture Chang Ning.
It's only right that people suspect me.
I request to go to Xuanwu Altar
and intercept Mu Qingyan.
What are you going there for?
No one is blaming you.
A real man shoulders responsibility.
Mu Qingyan has taken over Qinglong Altar
and will surely set his sights on Xuanwu Altar.
I am no coward who clings to life.
Chief, please allow me
to guard the altar.
Shangguan acts in secret.
He must be hiding something.
Xiong Qianjin of Xuanwu Altar is my man.
I will order him to watch Shangguan
and kill him if there is
any unusual movement.
But the Chief is quite fond of Shangguan.
If he investigates...
We'll say
Mu Qingyan killed Shangguan.
We're already in the demon sect's territory.
There are Six Sects scouts
and demon sect spies.
The situation
is very complicated.
A gentleman does not stand beneath a crumbling wall.
We must be very cautious.
Yuzhi,
you're saying with a lot of energy.
The moon is also beautiful.
Why don't we continue on our way?
Mr. Mu is indeed in danger,
but with his capability,
his life is not at risk.
There is no need for us to rush.
Are you eager to see him?
You keep talking about gentlemen.
A gentleman should repay
a peach for a plum
or jade for wood, right?
You're in such a hurry.
Does he know?
Is Zhao really coming to help me?
Rest assured.
I did not fail the task
and have stopped Miss Cai.
If she truly wanted to come,
how could you possibly stop her?
Are you saying
Miss Cai is already here?
Go find her.
Ahead lie the Hanhai Mountains.
Do you smell anything?
What?
Roasted buns.
And pancakes and wonton.
This one is a bit small.
I want the big one.
Sure. I will wrap them for you.
Bracelets at a low price!
Fresh mandarins!
Waterproof rain cloaks!
It often rains! It's a must!
Everyone avoids the demon.
How can there be a market here?
You do not understand.
This is called seeking fortune in danger.
Setting up a stall
is for making money.
Where there are people, there is trade.
The elite of the Six Sects are all out,
gathering nearby for information,
so this must be
the liveliest place in the entire Jianghu.
Another day,
I will have the uncles from Luoying Valley
come and see
how they do business.
Instead of studying business,
we should first think of a way
to find the demon sect's entrance.
The Li Sect's entrance.
I can take you there.
(Xue Youfu)
Sir,
you are not from the Li Sect,
so how do you know the entrance?
People of the Li Sect are still people.
They need to live a life
and buy hairpins and cloth.
I just happened to help them
transport goods once by accident.
After one time, there were countless more.
This is how business works.
You have both courage and insight.
Your future is boundless.
Sir,
what does the Li Sect look like inside?
I never saw their members.
I mostly deal with nearby villagers
and hunters.
But I have heard
the Li Sect is full of traps.
The only passage open to the outside
is layered with mechanisms and arrows.
People of Jianghu call it the Youming Path.
It is a place of no return.
The price
must be doubled.
Why?
Because there are two of you.
Taking advantage of us?
Reasonable and justified.
You do have a talent for business.
Well, in business...
Miss,
have you lost your mind?
I'm extorting you.
Let me be clear. Whatever tricks you try,
this money must be paid.
Thank you.
You are
so considerate?
If not making a living,
who'd choose to scrape by around the Li Sect?
Take it.
You two
are simply
too foolish.
Sit tight.
Sir?
I even praised him just now.
Taking money without doing the job.
He's not honest at all.
Zhao,
what should we do?
Xiaolan.
What do you need?
It's been days since I last saw Zhao.
Is something wrong?
Nothing.
Everything is fine.
I do not believe it.
Zhao...
She...
She has chickenpox.
Has Uncle Lei prescribed medicine?
Do not worry.
Feicui is looking after her.
Zhao is fine.
Zhao has chickenpox.
Yuzhi has caught a chill.
Well...
Master.
- Master. - Master.
Master.
Keep practicing.
Yes.
(To Master, From Yuzhi)
Yuzhi wishes to go out to clear his mind.
Why did he not tell me in person?
You were about to enter seclusion.
He feared troubling you,
so he left a letter instead.
Where did he go?
Guangtian Gate governs a vast territory.
Lord Song
has long hoped he'd travel more.
So, he went to inspect the territories.
He also asked me to tell you:
His remaining 50% strength
is enough to deal with punks,
so you needn't worry.
Since he's inspecting territories,
why would he need to deal with punks?
Yuzhi.
You can't die.
If you die,
how am I supposed to face your father?
Wake up, Yuzhi.
Yuzhi.
Wake up.
I wonder whether Zhao has found Chang Ning.
Chickenpox
is contagious.
She can't go out.
Master.
Why is Zhao ill?
Chickenpox is contagious.
Then why are you here?
I was worried about Zhao,
so I came to take a look.
Master,
chickenpox is contagious.
Why not wait until Zhao recovers?
Then I will have her go see you.
Zhao is usually someone
who sits and lies down
whenever she can.
When has she ever sat so straight?
Also,
she's holding Eighteen Years Waiting.
She hates it the most,
saying Li Baochuan is foolish and stupid.
How could she be so absorbed in it?
Feicui.
Tell me.
Where are Zhao
and Yuzhi now?
(Hanhai Nightmares)
Abnormality is demonic in nature.
Do not let anything approach.
Manager Cai.
Manager Zhao?
Manager Zhao.
(Cold Moon Blade)
Manager.
Qingyan, what is it?
Following your brilliant strategies,
we've worked hard and refined ourselves,
and truly turned Luoying Town
into the most prosperous market in the neighborhood.
Good.
Very good.
The ledger.
Here. Open your mouth.
Lately,
you've grown more perceptive.
You saved my life
and even took me in as a follower.
To repay such kindness,
I can only try my best to serve you.
From now on,
you will follow me.
You'll surely have an amazing life.
Thank you, Manager Cai.
Yuzhi has gone mad?
Yuzhi!
You slapped me again?
Yuzhi,
I couldn't wake up.
What did you dream about?
I...
I dreamed that I became a butterfly and flew away.
Me, too.
These butterflies are poisonous.
It seems we were both affected.
I think my aunt once told me
this is called the Nightmare Butterfly.
It was born from Zhuang Zhou's dream.
It feeds in dreams,
more dangerous than the Guming Moth.
It must've been Uncle Cheng's amulet that saved our lives.
Otherwise, we would've died in the nightmare.
The demon sect is full of tricks.
Run!
Lord Song,
if we travel like this,
it'll take at least half a month to reach the Hanhai Mountains.
Why not switch to fast horses?
Why the rush?
It's not a bad thing for young people to experience the world.
But Mr. Song is heading into the demon sect.
This time, my son managed
to secretly take Zhao away.
That brings glory to our Guangtian Gate.
As for where they went,
it does not matter at all.
This time,
Yuzhi has really made me proud.
The 100 Ways to Win a Lady Over
that I gave him truly worked.
What is going on?
Lord Song, a pigeon message.
(Please join me to protect the kids.)
Lord Song,
Lord Qi has arrived.
(Toxins Abyss)
This place is filled with poison.
Yuzhi,
you should protect yourself as well.
No.
Let's go.
Run!
Stop!
It is that heinous swindler.
The Demonic Camp.
I take the left three.
You take the right two.
Sir,
fortune turns in cycles.
I finally found you.
What happened to you two?
Let us first wash our faces
and have a meal.
(Li Sect's village, Peace and Plenty)
You're back?
Yeah.
Welcome back.
- Ms. Li. - Youfu is back.
So, the demon sect is like this.
- Uncle. - Welcome back.
Perhaps, like the nightmare fields,
it looks picturesque on the surface
but hides deadly danger beneath.
I'm back.
Youfu, you're back.
- Yeah. - Welcome back.
Uncle Xue!
- Uncle Xue. - Uncle Xue.
Come on.
Hold out your hands.
Yours.
- And yours. - Thanks.
Yours.
- Thanks. - Yours.
- Thanks. - Go play.
Do not blame me.
The journey was too dangerous.
I could tell you two are good people,
so I deliberately
sent you back.
Does that mean
we should thank you instead?
No need.
Upholding justice is our duty.
Uncle Xue,
you're quite shameless.
You truly are cut out for business.
Where is my golden silk armor?
After we fell into the water, you took our bundle.
Does it fit you well?
What golden silk armor?
You were hit by throwing darts and did not die.
Was it not my golden silk armor that blocked it for you?
However,
your sickle also saved my life.
Let us call it even.
I will not pursue the matter
of you abandoning us midway.
But that golden silk armor is meant as a gift.
Return it now.
I also stewed chicken soup.
I will go bring it.
Is the golden silk armor
for Mr. Mu?
He once risked his life to save me.
This is my way of returning the favor.
(Qinglong Altar)
(Bliss Palace)
Young Master.
Father planned ahead
and ordered us to dig several secret tunnels years ago.
If we leave through those tunnels,
we can avoid all checkpoints
and go straight to Bliss Palace.
(Bliss Palace)
(Xuanwu Altar)
But this time, I want to take a different path.
Guanyue,
do you know
how to clean a filthy room?
How?
I once thought
that all it took was to replace the owner.
But later, I realized
the room was not merely filthy.
Even the foundation and beams
have long been eaten away by snakes and rats.
The best way to clean a room
is not to clean it,
but to burn it down with one fire
and rebuild it anew.
Are you saying...?
This time, I'll slaughter my way
through the Youming Path,
step by step,
to Bliss Palace.
We'll fight?
What about Xing?
Master You, rest assured.
Xing's whereabouts
have been found.
Here.
My...
Well.
How did you get through the nightmare fields?
Since it appeared,
very few people have been able to reach this place.
The nightmare fields were not always there.
They appeared in recent years.
It was said to be
to prevent the Six Sects from causing trouble.
I was lucky.
When I first arrived here,
my childhood friend
gave me a sachet
to ward off poisonous insects and ants.
That is how I could come and go freely.
So, you are not a local?
No.
I came here 17 or 18 years ago.
Life in the Li Sect used to be good.
Everyone lived honestly and peacefully.
But lately, they somehow started
to seize able-bodied men to repair Bliss Palace
or force hunters
to risk their lives to gather Shanci Mushrooms.
They are all deadly jobs.
Shanci Mushrooms are toxic, right?
What are they for?
No idea.
I was in a hurry to deliver them,
so I risked going into the forest.
I never expected to run
into Black Slayers.
Youfu,
tell your guests to come out.
- Why bring outsiders here? - Exactly.
He brought outsiders here.
Youfu,
you should know the village rules.
No outsiders.
Village Chief,
these two are my lifesavers.
This morning,
when I went into the forest,
I ran into Black Slayers.
If not for them,
I would have died.
- Black Slayers? - Black Slayers.
Where are the Black Slayers?
We killed them all
by accident.
- You killed them? - They're dead.
But Black Slayers are not ghosts.
They're humans.
Lately, many young men have gone missing.
The Black Slayers took them.
For you two to be able to kill them,
your skills must be extraordinary.
Indeed.
May I ask which sect you belong to?
- Qingque... - We're from Qingzhu Gang.
My name is Feng Xiaohan.
This is my senior brother,
Dai Qingyun.
What is Qingzhu Gang?
We are from the Qingzhu Gang
by the Canglang River beneath Mount Wutong.
But our gang leader
died suddenly after drinking fake liquor.
So Qingzhu Gang
fell apart.
We have
nowhere to go
nor food guaranteed.
We remembered that we have an uncle in the Li Sect,
so we came to seek refuge.
You two helped us kill the Black Slayers.
We should've shown hospitality,
but the village rules...
Rest assured.
We won't stay overnight.
Please tell us which way
leads to Qinglong Altar.
Qinglong Altar?
What about it?
(Peace and Plenty)
It's not far
from here.
But lately, that place
has been unsettled.
Are you two truly going?
We're already here, so we'll go.
Thanks for preparing so thoroughly.
Change into these clothes.
You are outsiders, after all.
Better not draw attention.
This fabric
does not look like village cloth.
Where did it come from?
It belongs to Xing, our village chief's granddaughter.
She serves as a maid at Qinglong Altar.
She works for the Li Sect?
Yes. Many of our villagers do.
They receive monthly wages, rain or shine.
Far better than hunting or farming.
However,
there's been no news from some servants
working at Qinglong Altar,
and Xing hasn't returned for a long time.
Miss Feng,
Mr. Dai,
is the person you are looking for
truly at Qinglong Altar?
He must be there.
(Qinglong Altar)
Perhaps
she is still on her way.
Go find your Xing.
Set off.
