[The Journey of Legend]

[Episode 11]

Miss Qing,

we've searched Xiao Qiushui thoroughly

and found nothing unusual.

[The Power Gang has never]

[replied to Song until now,]

[just to trap Xiao Qiushui]

[and obtain the Hero Command Token.]

[I'll definitely make him]

[reveal where the Hero Command Token is.]

Who are you?

Didn't Tang Fang tell you?

I'm her close friend in the Tang Sect,

and together we're known as the beauty duo.

She sent me to take good care of you.

What did you make me take?

Even a master of peerless martial arts,

after taking that special pill,

has to do whatever I say.

The Hero Command Token

and all your secrets—

tell me everything.

Who are you?

Xiao Qiushui…

Xiao Qiushui from Huanhua Sect.

Between Tang Fang and me,

who is more beautiful?

You…

You're a bit uglier than her.

What?

Your hand is rotting from using too much poison.

-You... -Qing!

Stop.

Did he say where the Hero Command Token is?

Xiao Qiushui, tell me,

where is the Hero Command Token now?

In the Tang Sect.

Song, that's impossible.

I've searched both him and Tang Fang.

They don't have the token.

Xiao Qiushui.

Xiao Qiushui!

Tell me,

where in the Tang Sect did you hide the Hero Command Token?

Didn't I just tell you?

The Hero Command Token

is buried in the Tang Sect.

I only remember it's in the bamboo grove.

Looks like this brat had a backup plan

before entering the Tang Sect.

Let's go.

Two idiots.

Good thing I came prepared.

Miss Tang.

If I accidentally take the Tang Sect's poison,

is there a cure?

It's not that I don't trust you.

Here is the antidote.

It's a treasure of the Tang Sect.

It's a cure for most poisons.

But it only lasts for 4 hours.

[Tang Fang never mentioned]

[there were such despicable people in the Tang Sect.]

[I wonder how she's doing now.]

Miss!

Miss,

are you alright?

He said it was half a mile away.

We've dug around almost every tree in this area

and still haven't found the token.

Could that Xiao boy have lied to me?

Impossible.

No one can resist the effects of that special pill.

He couldn't have lied.

Xiao Qiushui, are you alright?

I'm fine.

Thankfully, I had the antidote you gave me.

Let's get out of here.

Xiao Qiushui!

Xiao Qiushui, how dare you lie to us?

I didn't.

Did you find anything?

Fang,

you don't have to die

with this Xiao boy.

Beg me now.

If you beg me, I'll always soften toward you.

Song!

Is there something wrong with him?

Young Master Xiao, if we've offended you,

please forgive us.

Actually, now that you have the Hero Command Token,

what danger can really threaten you?

I can introduce you to my grandmother.

With her experience in the martial world,

she can help you use the Hero Command Token wisely,

lift the siege on the Xiao family, and ruin the villains' schemes.

Let me tell you the truth.

The Hero Command Token

has already been taken by the Power Gang.

Young Master Xiao, you're still not being honest.

How do you know I'm lying?

Let me ask you.

Did the Power Gang tell you

they never got the token?

Do you really have dealings with the Power Gang?

Fang, who are you to question me?

You went to the Xiao Residence

just to get the Hero Command Token.

Young Master Xiao,

that's the only reason she went to the Xiao Residence.

You've noticed it, haven't you?

And, Fang,

I've already reported that you brought an outsider

into the Tang Sect.

Why hasn't your father come to see you?

Could the rumors be true— that he's gravely injured

and hasn't recovered?

If so, your branch of the family will hardly hold out.

You should beg me nicely

to marry you.

Then I'll spare your branch of the family in the future.

My father's internal energy is on the verge of a breakthrough.

He's cultivating in seclusion.

What's so strange about that?

If you have the guts,

go force your way into the sect leader's quarters!

Let's see

if my father would let you leave in one piece.

If you don't have the guts,

shut up and get out of my way!

You…

Sorry to interrupt,

but is the Tang Sect

always so full of schemes

and infighting?

Yes, it is.

How else would one survive here?

Wait!

Since we've come to the Tang Sect,

let's follow the Tang Sect's rules.

Look behind you!

Run!

That way.

Xiao Qiushui.

What's wrong, Tang Fang?

I'm sorry.

Since we were in the Sword Manor,

I've been plotting to stay close to you,

just to find the "Voidheart Codex."

But you trusted me so much

and treated me as a friend.

I brought you to the Tang Sect,

hoping I'd help you save the Xiao family so I could ask you

to repay my favor.

It was all just for my own selfish desires.

Tang Fang,

I don't know where the "Voidheart Codex" is.

But if we find Crazy Yan,

maybe we can learn

its whereabouts.

After saving my family,

if one day

I do find the "Voidheart Codex,"

I'll tell you where it is.

Thank you.

Over there!

Let's go!

No time to hesitate.

Jump!

Move aside!

Careful! You overshot it.

Your sleeve is torn.

It's torn.

All of you stay inside! Don't look!

You want to fight again?

I once made a vow—

if any man saw my body,

I'd kill him.

And of all people…

That's quite a rash vow you made.

If I hadn't pulled you just now,

you'd have fallen into the river.

Before my father became the head of the family,

scoundrels from other factions always bullied us.

One day, while I was bathing,

they barged in and harassed me.

My mother killed them all.

That day,

I made a vow—

I'd train hard,

and if any man saw my body again,

I'd have to kill him.

You should consider the circumstances with such a deadly vow.

If it's a wicked man doing it on purpose, you should kill him,

but I just saved you.

My mother said,

unless the man is my husband,

there are no exceptions.

Are you kidding me?

Anyway, that's the vow I swore.

Don't overthink it.

Then let me ask you something.

This vow you made as a child

actually has many loopholes.

If someone accidentally glanced at your body

without seeing it clearly,

would you have to kill him too?

Who knows if he meant it or not?

I made this vow in my late mother's name.

I'll never break it.

You're insane. What kind of logic is that?

I'm not going to argue with you.

Then tell me this:

don't you consider me a friend?

You'd even kill a friend?

I already told you,

no exceptions.

I don't want to fight with you.

You'd better step aside.

No way.

Excuse me, you two.

I've been listening to you for a while

and can't take it anymore.

You don't want to die, do you?

You don't want to kill him, do you?

Isn't there another solution?

You just need to marry her.

Miss,

I can see

you can't bring yourself to do it.

But you can't stay on my boat

forever, can you?

M-Me? Marry her?

She's right.

If you want to live, there's only one way.

Marry me.

Stop fooling around.

Marriage isn't child's play.

How can you just ask me

to marry you?

I can't break my vow anyway.

I still have many things to do.

I can't kill you for now.

But as it happens,

I need someone to help me

break into the Snare Formation of the Tang Sect.

Only then can I get Tang Song off my back.

Otherwise, I'll have to...

I can help you with that.

But you're right.

I gave Rou my word.

Is the Snare Formation difficult to break through?

It's basically a death trap.

If you can make it out alive,

we'll hold a wedding ceremony.

Afterward, I'll just divorce you.

Just don't make decisions on your own.

It's settled then.

Sorry for holding up your wedding procession.

This money is both compensation and a wedding gift.

Congratulations on your wedding.

I wish you a long and happy marriage.

May you be blessed with children soon!

Stop looking. It has nothing to do with you.

We need to hurry to Guangling.

How are you going?

Do you have a map?

A map of Jinzhong?

These red dots must be the hidden lookout posts.

I went to Tang Song's place

to see you but couldn't find you.

I saw him locking this in a drawer.

He said

he spent a lot of effort and time

marking all the strongholds

of the Power Gang.

I guess these sects marked in red

have all aligned themselves with the Power Gang.

Look, these strongholds

are all on the main routes to Guangling.

I can't believe the Wuhupeng Sect, the Tanglang Sect,

and the Wuyi Gang

have all submitted to the Power Gang.

With these sects in the way,

Yiren's reinforcements from Guangling to the Sword Manor

will be hindered.

He'll have to take a detour.

If that's not possible,

we'll need to find a way

to clear these obstacles.

It's decided then.

And don't forget—

once the Sword Manor is safe,

you must go challenge the formation,

or I'll have to take your life.

As for that,

we need to think about it carefully.

Don't overthink it.

Let fate decide.

Let's go.

Spread the word

that Xiao Qiushui and Tang Fang

have taken the Hero Command Token to Guangling.

You want everyone to know about that?

They think they can escape my grasp.

It won't be that easy.

Once the news spreads,

people from the martial world will go after Xiao Qiushui.

I'd like to see how long he can last.

[Xiao Residence]

Kaiyan.

Xueyu?

You may leave now.

Any messages from the Sword Manor in Jindu?

What did Father say?

These are all messages from our men

at the ferry stops confirming their safety.

Father hasn't replied.

I'm afraid that as time passes,

all the clues and evidence in the village

will be wiped out.

Let's go to that village again.

We should examine everything carefully

and preserve the evidence.

Alright.

These herbs are used for pill-making.

Perhaps we can develop

an antidote for the villagers.

Xueyu!

Are you okay? Are you hurt?

Let's check on Kaiyan.

Kaiyan.

His internal energy is temporarily blocked.

It's nothing serious.

Kaiyan.

Kaiyan.

What happened?

Are you okay?

What happened to me?

If I hadn't arrived in time,

you two would've been dead by now.

How many times have I told you

not to act on your own?

That person in black just now

must have come to destroy evidence.

We couldn't just stand by.

I've told you before—

we must look at the bigger picture and prioritize the Xiao family.

Even if you find the evidence now, so what?

Will the Power Gang actually reason with us?

In the end, it'll just put

the Xiao family in open conflict with the Power Gang.

Yiren.

I just found this.

This snake-needle grass

looks very similar to the diamond flower.

The villagers' poisoning and madness

might be related to this.

Yiren, Xueyu has a healer's compassion

and is eager to save lives.

But that was close just now.

That man's internal energy was overwhelming.

He almost killed the two of us.

We should just wait for Father's message

and follow his instructions.

I know you mean well,

but from now on, whenever you make decisions

or something happens,

talk with me first.

I'm not just your elder brother.

I'm also the acting leader of the Huanhua Sect.

Your strategy actually

eliminated 2 Power Gang strongholds

and cleared a path for us.

The reinforcements can go to Jinzhong without hindrance now.

Judging by when Old Madam Wu sent the message,

Yiren should have

returned to Jinzhong from Guangling by now.

Unfortunately, on our way here,

we haven't seen any sign of him.

I'm afraid something might have gone wrong.

Let's do this.

We'll go buy a fast horse now

and head straight for Guangling to check.

These are all mules and donkeys.

They're not fast.

Sir, what do you want?

A donkey or a horse?

There's a good horse over there.

You have a good eye, sir.

That's a great horse that can run

incredibly far in a day.

But it's a bit expensive.

How did you get such a fine horse?

I bought it, of course.

There's still a military seal on the stirrup.

Tell me the truth.

Where did that horse come from?

It's fine if you don't want to tell us.

We'll have to report it to the authorities.

I'll tell you. I'll tell you.

That horse dealer said

he was passing by here yesterday

and saw this soldier lying dead here.

That's why he took the horse.

Sorry.

This is the messenger sent by Old Madam Wu

to Guangling to ask Yiren for help.

With such a blockade,

Yiren and the others

probably have no idea

about our current situation.

So I need to hurry back to meet up with Yiren.

The checkpoint ahead

is where Chuanjin and Guangling meet.

Looks like it's already under the Power Gang's control.

The terrain here makes this place hard to breach.

There's another ferry stop ahead.

It's not under the Power Gang's control.

Let's go there first.

The rain is heavy this season, and the river has risen a lot.

It may be hard to find a ferry.

We still have to figure something out.

[Here lies a brave and loyal soldier of the Wu Army]

Tang Song is so useless.

Xiao Qiushui had entered the Tang Sect,

but he still couldn't keep him.

Tang Song is spreading rumors

that Xiao Qiushui has the Hero Command Token.

I'm afraid

many people are already planning

to go after Xiao Qiushui.

Master, should I

go kill this good-for-nothing Tang Song

for you?

There's something more important for you to do.

Before Xiao Qiushui parted ways with Old Madam Wu,

she dismissed everyone else

and spoke with him alone.

So the Hero Command Token

is very likely in his possession.

Starting today,

whoever brings Xiao Qiushui to the Power Gang

will be rewarded with the Wind Token.

But the Wind Token is your personal token.

It allows its holder to make a request of you.

Chief once said

this token would give people leverage over you.

He forbade you from using it again.

Don't worry.

At worst, I'll just kill the holder

before they make any request.

Xiao Qiushui failed to get help in Jinzhong,

so he must be rushing to Guangling now.

Go after him immediately.

Yes.

Tang Fang…

Is she still with Xiao Qiushui?

Yes.

Feng.

I stole some rice cakes from the kitchen for you.

Hurry and eat.

Don't let them find out.

[Guangling is the Sword King's territory.]

[Tang Fang is also in Guangling.]

Fang.

Sir.

Take care. Come back for more if you like it.

Here. Eat something.

This situation is urgent, and time is tight.

Go check if there are any inns nearby.

I'll look over there

for other boatmen

and see if I can book a boat that leaves early tomorrow morning.

Be careful.

[Father, Mother.]

[Are you both alright?]

[Wait for me.]

[I'll hurry back as soon as I can.]

Sir.

Are there any other

ferry stops or boatmen around here?

No.

Thanks.

Sir.

I heard you're looking for an inn.

There's an inn called Ferry Inn nearby.

There are two guys there up to no good.

I'm afraid your friend might get tricked.

Be careful.

[Ferry Inn]

Anyone here?

[Tie Xingyue, the Fart King]

Hello? Is the owner here?

Yes, yes.

Are you alone, sir?

[Qiu Nangu, Iron Mouth]

You're the owner?

Yes, I'm the owner.

Is this inn converted from a cattle shed?

It's dirty and stinks of cow dung.

Can anyone stay here?

Sir, sir,

I rarely get customers,

so I don't clean often.

My apologies.

I'll clean it up for you right away.

Don't bother. I'm not staying.

Now that you've come in,

you can't leave so easily.

You…

Tie, that was some convincing acting!

Of course.

That girl from the Tang Sect

has powerful hidden weapons,

but they're no match for your knockout powder.

She passed out instantly.

There's no one I can't knock out.

But speaking of which,

wasn't Xiao Qiushui

supposed to come with this Tang girl?

Why hasn't he shown up yet?

Don't worry.

Xiao Qiushui

will definitely come to save this Tang girl.

We'll just wait here for him.

Exactly. Let's wait for him

to walk right into our trap.

Speak of the devil.

Let's go.

Hurry!

Quick! Give me the antidote.

The antidote! Now.

Here.

Tell me,

who are you people?

I'm Tie Xingyue, the Fart King.

I'm Qiu Nangu, Iron Mouth.

You've heard of me, right?

Where is that girl now?

You're here to save that girl.

You're Xiao Qiushui, aren't you?

So you're after Xiao Qiushui.

It's not us who want him.

The Power Gang wants him.

Liu Suifeng from the Power Gang has spread the word:

whoever brings Xiao Qiushui to him

will get a token in exchange.

That token is extremely valuable.

If the two of us want to join the Power Gang,

he wouldn't dare refuse us.

So you want to side with Liu Suifeng

and join the Power Gang?

Liu Suifeng's offer

is tempting.

But

we've already made contact with the Sword King

of the Power Gang.

Although we haven't met in person,

we can't switch sides so easily.

We value loyalty.

Right. Loyalty!

If we hand over the person Liu Suifeng has been looking for

to the Sword King,

the Sword King will surely be pleased.

I was questioning him.

Why did you spill everything?

You fool.

You started first.

Are you Xiao Qiushui or not?

Come on, get up and talk.

I was a bit rough just now.

I apologize for that.

But

you're mistaken.

I'm not Xiao Qiushui.

And we're supposed to believe that?

What proof do you have?

I've got a name of my own.

I'm Xiao Donghuo.

Wait.

Xiao Donghuo?

That name...

Sounds familiar, right?

I am indeed very familiar with him.

He's a distant relative of mine.

Only I and that girl you captured

know where Xiao Qiushui is hiding.

If she wasn't with Xiao Qiushui,

why would she be with you?

Truth is,

the two of them had a falling-out.

So she asked me

to help teach Xiao Qiushui a lesson.

Which means

if you want to find Xiao Qiushui,

you must ask her.

But the word from the martial world

is that Xiao Qiushui is headed to Guangling

with the Hero Command Token.

We didn't catch Xiao Qiushui

but got Xiao Donghuo?

No. He's playing us.

You…

The Hero Command Token is priceless.

If Xiao Qiushui knew

the Power Gang was pursuing him so relentlessly,

he'd have hidden far away by now.

You seem wise, sir.

Why don't you tell me what you think?

You have a good eye.

I've poisoned that wine. Don't drink it.

But you're right.

That girl's no longer with us.

If you don't start telling the truth,

I'll have to beat you up.

Hold on. Hold on.

That won't be necessary.

I'll just tell you.

We've already handed that girl over

to the person who connected us with the Sword King—

Zuo Changsheng, the Burrow Demon of the Power Gang.

He plans to present that girl to the Sword King.

Tell me the truth.

It is the truth.

If you don't believe me,

stab me with that sword.

Don't stab my friend!

Tie, don't play the hero!

Sir, stab me instead.

Once you do,

you'll know he's telling the truth.

Let him stab me.

Stab me!

My buddy is weak. Don't stab him. Stab me.

Alright, stop arguing.

You've done something stupid.

What do you mean?

If the Burrow Demon learns from Tang Fang

about Xiao Qiushui's whereabouts,

he'll definitely bring Xiao Qiushui

to the Sword King.

If that happens,

won't he steal all your credit?

He's right.

The urgent matter now

is to find the Burrow Demon

and then secretly get Tang Fang

back.

Qiu, he didn't stab either of us,

and he's even giving us advice.

I kind of like this guy.

We could be friends with him.

Since we're friends,

and that girl is so important to him,

we must help him get her back.

Alright.

Hey, Donghuo,

we'll take care of it for you.

We'll take you there.

Master.

I've received news.

The Sword King's men have taken Tang Fang.

What about Xiao Qiushui? Where is he?

Guangling is under the Sword King's control.

Our spies have been rooted out by him.

We haven't found Xiao Qiushui yet.

But he'll definitely seek help.

That would naturally mean Qu Hanshan,

He Who Shakes Guangling,

one of Guangling's Three Peaks.

I've already sent people

to investigate Tang Fang's situation.

Tang Fang and the Hero Command Token

must not slip through my fingers again.

Understood.

You don't allow anyone to hurt Miss Tang Fang.

That makes her your weakness.

I spoke out of turn.

Go do your work.

Yes.
