[The Journey of Legend]

[Episode 36]

This cloak...

This cloak belonged to my sister Yuan.

Senior.

There were too many people around earlier,

so I didn't have a chance to return it to you.

Old Madam Wu

and Sect Leader Zhichen

entrusted me to give it to you.

Sect Leader Zhichen once mentioned

that back then, your sister

was kidnapped by the Jiang brothers.

During her escape,

she unfortunately contracted a serious illness.

Fortunately, Sect Leader Zhichen

happened to pass by and was able to save her.

But after that,

there was no more news of her.

It was all my fault.

This is the greatest regret

of my entire life.

[Tang Yaoshun]

The Tang Sect is already under my control.

Xiao Qiushui,

how will you respond to this?

Sancai has sent word that

General Wu will immediately

return to the capital after receiving the imperial order.

Big Brother.

If General Wu leaves the Immortal Pass,

what if the Northern Wasteland seizes the chance to attack?

Wouldn't that be a big problem?

Not only that,

General Wu might also face danger

on his way back to the capital.

So we need to act quickly.

Any delay

will put General Wu in greater danger.

We've all been investigating separately,

and we've found some

suspicious locations related to the falconry whistle activities.

Assemble people to investigate immediately.

Okay.

Search carefully!

-Yes! -Yes!

Yuhan.

Guys.

The outpost over there

has been cleared by the Power Gang.

-How about here? -That's great.

This must be the Falconry Whistle hideout.

At least the Power Gang knows better this time.

Hope they cooperate with us properly this time

to catch those spies.

Since Big Brother trusts them,

let's do it.

Let's go!

Let's go.

It's cooled down.

Chief, is your old injury

flaring up again?

It's not that.

He's simply unaware of his age

and has been wearing himself out

with constant work.

Now that you're down,

all the sect affairs, big and small,

have all fallen on my shoulders.

How's the situation over there?

Xiao Kaiyan has been using the Twelve Serial Docks

as his base.

The waterways are interconnected,

and the hidden water networks are extremely complex.

We haven't found anything conclusive yet.

Then send more people there.

Yes.

This is the information that Song Mingzhu and others

intercepted from Falconry Whistle.

"20,000 elite soldiers will take the water route,

bypass the Immortal Pass to head south,

and infiltrate Daxi to launch a coordinated strike

from inside and out."

If the Northern Wastelanders really succeed in crossing south,

it would utterly crush

the people's confidence in resisting the Northern Wasteland.

The Northern Wasteland is feigning peace,

while secretly amassing 200,000 soldiers ready to strike.

The court has summoned General Wu back,

and morale at Immortal Pass is crumbling.

The martial world is also in turmoil,

and worse, some treacherous people, bribed by the waterways,

have gone so far as to commit treason by colluding with the enemy.

We must ensure General Wu's safety

to stabilize the war situation.

If he returns to the capital,

I fear the Immortal Pass will fall.

If he doesn't return,

he'll be charged with fabricated crimes.

If you report to His Majesty

about the waterways' collusion with the Northern Wasteland,

could it soften the court's stance?

Suifeng,

gather more men

to eliminate Falconry Whistle's base

and block the Northern Wasteland's elite troops from advancing south.

Yes.

I wish I could share more of your burden.

I heard the Shenzhou Sworn Brotherhood

is also trying to eliminate Falconry Whistle's base.

Daxi

has finally come to such a state.

Master.

I have a feeling that something's off with Chief's health.

Keep an eye on him.

Mr. Yan.

You should move around less.

Here.

Take your medicine first.

Physician Xiao.

My injury has already healed.

You need to take time to rest and recover.

As for the Soul-Piercing Nail,

Qiushui and I will have someone to find another solution.

This little injury is nothing.

Don't make such a fuss.

[Huaiyang]

Chief Li.

What's this supposed to mean?

This Chief's Token

is the Power Gang's symbol of authority

and something revered throughout the martial world.

The reason all sects fear it

is because the Power Gang

holds dirt on every sect, isn't it?

Mr. Xiao, you certainly know how to joke.

Mr. Xiao, it seems

you deeply despise our Power Gang.

Relationships built on profit end when profit does.

Relationships built on influence collapse when influence fades.

Relationships built on power are abandoned when power is lost.

Chief Li.

Don't you have to use the Misery Pill

and the Tribulation Finger to force people into submission?

Indeed.

But in these chaotic times,

only by wielding powerful measures

and clearing all hurdles

can the situation be firmly stabilized

for those who follow.

By exchanging hearts with sincerity and keeping ambitions modest,

true friendship will endure.

This is the only way we can rebuild a new martial world.

But your doings resemble more the tactics of an emperor,

not the way of the martial world.

If that's the case,

then Mr. Xiao,

why don't you just be

the successor who rebuilds the way of the martial world?

As long as one has a chivalrous heart,

anyone can become a successor.

Chief Li, you should take

your Chief's Token back.

Though we share the same destination,

we can no longer walk the same path.

I'm going to the capital for an audience with His Majesty,

and I must take my wine on schedule.

Could it be

the wine's poisoned?

The poison has penetrated to my bones and marrow.

Now

I'm truly gravely ill and unlikely to recover.

Since you know the wine's poisoned,

why do you keep drinking it?

I have no other choice.

I fear not death,

but I really don't know

who else I can give this token to.

Chief Li,

you still don't understand.

The martial world is like the Shenzhou Sworn Brotherhood.

Even if I run around shouting,

I can only awaken like-minded people.

This is not a path of my own making,

but the one that meets the hopes of all.

So be it.

The court intends to stop the war,

so they've summoned General Wu back to the capital.

But now, the Northern Wasteland has colluded with the waterways

to infiltrate elite troops into Daxi.

I believe this battle is inevitable.

Therefore, we must not let General Wu

leave the Immortal Pass.

Then we must unite

and do everything to rescue General Wu.

The martial world needs no leader hereafter.

Driven by righteousness or by profit,

everyone has their own choice.

I must not tell Master

about Chief being poisoned.

Master.

Just tell me what you heard.

Chief is going to hand over the Power Gang to Xiao Qiushui.

What else did Chief mention?

Chief also said

that the Power Gang's ways are outdated,

and he asked Xiao Qiushui to lead everyone to transform

and integrate into some new martial world.

I really don't understand.

Master, you've been completely loyal to the Power Gang

and served for so many years.

Master, how could Chief bypass you

and pass leadership to an outsider?

Chief wouldn't hand over his position for no reason.

His actions today

are very unusual.

Could it be

that his condition is as I've feared,

beyond medical help?

M-Master.

You already knew?

I want you to go somewhere with me.

I haven't shown my face for years.

A bunch of nobodies seeking the Voidheart Codex

have all come looking for me.

Unfortunately,

none of them can take a hit.

Over the years in the martial world,

each generation is worse than the last.

It's becoming less and less interesting.

You two,

what exactly do you want?

If you're smart,

have Crazy Yan hand over the Voidheart Codex!

Cowards.

If you've got the guts, go see Mr. Yan yourselves.

Going to him is no different from seeking death.

We're not that stupid.

Attack!

Hurry!

The dart is poisoned. She won't get far.

Everyone, split up and search!

Let's go!

Physician Xiao.

Physician Xiao!

It's Mr. Yan.

Physician Xiao!

Why is this whistle sound...

Mr. Yan!

Physician Xiao.

How did this whistle end up with you?

Yuan...

You are Yuan?

You really are Yuan.

I finally found you.

I'm your older brother.

Brother?

You don't remember?

I understand why you don't remember me.

But look.

Look at this Golden Swallow.

Does it remind you of anything?

This is the only keepsake Mother left us.

Only the sound of your whistle

can awaken it.

No wonder.

All these days,

I've been dreaming of

my brother and me

flying kites together.

I thought

it was all just a fantasy.

I thought

I could never reunite

with my family.

I never thought

that you, Mr. Yan,

would actually be my brother.

Yuan.

Brother.

I've searched for you so desperately.

That day, Old Madam Wu

entrusted the Golden Swallow to me.

I never expected

that the person you were looking for

would turn out to be my sister.

I remember when I was a child,

I was kidnapped by villains.

Due to the trauma

and the injury to the back of my head,

my childhood memories became very blurry.

Thanks to the Golden Swallow,

we siblings have finally recognized each other.

I'm truly happy

that I got to see you again, Brother.

But I came to the Xiao family at a very young age,

and they've always treated me like their own daughter.

You can be at ease.

I...

I've put you through so much.

I don't even know how to make it up to you.

Brother,

I ask for nothing else;

I only hope you can agree to one thing for me.

Of course.

Go ahead.

The Soul-Piercing Nail in your body

must be removed as soon as possible.

Senior.

All right.

Good.

Since you've agreed so readily, Senior,

you can't change your mind now.

Alright, Xueyu.

Take good care of Senior.

I'll go out for a while.

Wait for me to come back.

Qiushui,

thank you for your help.

[Tang Sect]

During the Tang Sect incident,

Tang Yaoshun and Old Madam Tang were killed by Tang Song,

and Tang Fang was also controlled by puppet needle.

This is weird.

The gate is wide open,

and there's not even a single guard on duty.

Stop right there.

Take another half step forward,

and your guts will be torn out.

Thank you for the warning, Master.

The Tang Sect doesn't open its gate to welcome guests,

but to face enemies.

So are we going in or not?

This isn't the only entrance.

Who are these people?

Why are they all locked up here?

They're living medicine vessels.

My blood is almost drained dry.

Please stop taking it.

Please stop.

Please.

Please stop.

Please.

Someone's finally here.

Has Mr. Tang finally remembered me?

I knew it.

I knew he would need me, the living medicine vessel

he created with his own hands, sooner or later.

Mr. Tang

is dead.

What?

How did he die?

I killed him.

Dead?

He's actually dead?

Becoming a living medicine vessel

means suffering for a lifetime.

I've held on until now

just to wait for Mr. Tang,

so I could kill him with my own hands and get my revenge.

And now, you tell me he's already dead,

and that you killed him!

How could you beat me to killing him?

You old man.

We hadn't even touched you, yet you went and attacked us.

Young man,

that medicinal scent on you... You must be

one of the living medicine vessels Mr. Tang cultivated later, aren't you?

But you're quite fortunate.

You haven't become a true living medicine vessel yet.

Since you killed him,

why have you come here?

I want Mr. Tang's Secret Method of Meridian Restoration.

Once you become a living medicine vessel,

you'll be controlled by others for life.

Do you know that the Secret Method of Meridian Restoration

requires a life for a life?

A life for a life?

Of course I know.

All those who treat lives as worthless

deserve to die!

Master.

I found it.

Let's go.

-Let's go find Tang Fang. -Being neither human nor ghost

is the suffering of being living medicine vessel!

It's something you should fully experience!

Where is Tang Fang?

If you hurt me now,

she won't let you off easily.

Fang.

Tang Fang.

Hurry up and do it.

He's the one

who killed your father.

What nonsense are you talking about?

Get the ring first!

Fang!

Brother.

Let's go.

Tang Fang!

Master and I are here to save you.

Let's go.

Chief, this...

Feel free to tell me.

It's only been a few days,

but the poison is spreading

much faster than I expected.

Chief,

if you want to detox,

as I mentioned before,

only the Tang Sect's...

Chief.

The Strengthening Pill

has miraculous effects in strengthening the body.

It may help alleviate the poison within you.

Herbal King is unable to detoxify you, Chief,

but I am.

Herbal King.

Please go to Mr. Xiao's place

and check on Miss Tang.

Yes.

I'll use the Tang Sect's living medicine vessel

to detoxify you, Chief.

Suifeng.

You just heard it too.

Herbal King gave me a Strengthening Pill.

Now that you've joined the Power Gang,

you're granted a new life.

From now on,

you don't have to be trapped in these old grudges anymore.

What you did for me before, Chief,

I will never forget.

Don't overthink it.

You may go now.

Mr. Xiao,

the puppet needle in Miss Tang's body

has penetrated into her bone marrow.

If...

If what?

Please speak frankly, Senior.

If there's any carelessness,

the puppet needle will lash back at its remover.

Mr. Xiao,

perhaps we should wait a bit longer.

Senior,

this is a matter of life and death.

Since it has penetrated into her bone marrow,

we cannot wait any longer.

I beg you to tell me how to save her, Senior.

Mr. Xiao,

when removing the needles,

you must protect yourself

to prevent the puppet needle from entering your meridians.

Be extremely careful of the backlash.

Otherwise...

Tang Fang?

Tang Fang.

Qiushui.

My... My father is dead.

Old Madam Tang is also dead.

T-The Tang Sect is gone.

Everything is gone.

Tang Fang.

Focus on recovering first.

Everything about the Tang Sect,

I'll help you with it.

Let's go.

I'm the Rain Sword,

Feng Lang.

I had hoped to reunite with you

in a better way.

Don't worry.

I'm just here to deliver some medicine for Herbal King.

Feng.

Thank you.

You haven't recovered yet.

Those people of the Tang Sect

are colluding with the waterways.

Don't rush to seek revenge.

Don't worry.

As for what they owe me

and all the evil they've done in the martial world,

I'll settle the score with them sooner or later.

Senior Yan.

You just had the Soul-Piercing Nail removed,

so please drink less.

If Xueyu finds out,

you'll definitely get scolded.

Have some too.

I never thought

that I, Crazy Yan, the top fighter in the world,

would actually be terrified of a single glare from Yuan.

Now that she's not here,

I finally dare to have a drink with you.

You're not terrified.

You just care about her.

I really didn't expect

that you actually went to the Power Gang

and brought Herbal King here for me

to remove the Soul-Piercing Nail

from my body.

But the Soul-Piercing Nail

had affected me deeply.

I fear I may never recover.

Don't tell Yuan about this for now.

Let me ask you.

What is the purpose of living?

To savor life while alive,

to die without regrets,

and to do what righteousness demands.

Then this life has not been in vain!

This life has not been in vain!

Make sure you get all the herbs

listed on this prescription for me.

No mistakes allowed.

Why do you need these herbs, Master?

Just do as you're told.

Don't ask about anything else.

I shouldn't have asked.

-It's just I want to help... -Are you doubting me?

I wouldn't dare.

Whatever your decision is,

I'll help you accomplish it.

I only wish to stay by your side, Master,

until my last breath.

Be careful.

Let no outsider learn of it.

Okay.

I'll gather all the herbs for you right away, Master.

Buns! Buns!

Come get your buns!

Freshly steamed buns!

Buns! Buns!

Come buy some buns!

Careful, it's hot.

Deliver this medicine back to Master.

Use the back door.

Yes.

Boss, I'll leave the money here.

Red Phoenix, why would you have time to visit a pharmacy?

Of course

I'm here to buy medicine.

Is there a problem?

The medicine you came specially to buy

must be quite important.

I'm curious to see it.

Master caught a slight cold today,

so I came specifically to get some medicine for him.

If you don't believe me, Blade King,

feel free to check.

Liu Suifeng had you come all the way just to collect these herbs?

Whatever concerns Master,

I handle personally.

It's none of your business.

Our sect is in turmoil now.

Who knows who the next traitor will be?

I certainly hope

this blade I made for Liu Suifeng

will never need to be used.

If it were,

it would break Chief's heart.

Rest assured, Blade King.

This precious blade you forged

will never be needed in this lifetime.

Sorry that your trouble has been for nothing.

He's the most cunning and calculating one in our sect.

How can you guarantee his loyalty?

I don't have to think about that.

I only seek to follow him.

If he's disloyal,

then use that blade in your hand

to kill me first.

Defending such a cold-faced demon

like this,

it's truly surprising.

That's because none of you understand Master.

He only appears heartless,

but the deep affection he has for those he values

is beyond anything you could imagine.

Since you're willing to speak so highly of him,

you must be someone he values too.

Those Master truly values

are very few indeed.
