[Episode 2]

You should leave now.

Run far away.

The people from Hanshui Palace
weren't badly hurt.

They might come back for you.

I can't guarantee to protect you.

If you stay with me, you won't be safe.

When did Yan Zi Qing become so useless?

You're hurt?

I blame myself for being too weak.

Let me help.

Are the Hanshui Palace people that powerful?

I've kept them here for you.

Come here,
you didn't drink that poison, did you?

That's a relief.

It's getting dark.

Get him down the mountain quickly.

What about you?

Have you forgotten? We're not on the same path.

But we just agreed that we're even.

I helped you lose Yan Zi Qing.

You drove off Hanshui Palace for me
and saved the child.

Actually, I'm the one who owes you a favor.

Does Linglong Manor always calculate favors
in such a unique way?

Anyway, I don't like owing people.

They're coming from the east.

Let's head down the mountain and hide first.

What if we run into them on the way?

The drums mean they make the pursuers
head up from the east.

Then we'll head down from the west.

You can understand drums?

The training routines of government troops
are all quite similar.

I only know some basics.

Did you offend the government, too?

We won't make it off the mountain before dark.

Let's find a place to hide first.

Let's go.

What is this being worshipped here?

It's quite terrifying.

It's a Yaksha.

There was one behind the counter
at the inn as well.

How strange.

Why would anyone worship a demon?

In this Xiangzhou area,
many people worship the Yaksha.

It must be a local custom.

Linglong Manor is in Xiangzhou.

Haven't you seen this before, Huo?

I usually stay inside the manor.

I know very little of the world outside.

No wonder.

The innkeeper said I looked like an outsider.

Is your back wound really alright?

I'm fine.

It's just a flesh wound.

This is our Linglong Manor's
secret Linglong Honey.

It stops bleeding and eases pain.

Thank you, Huo.

So, tell me.

How did you cross paths with
Yan Zi Qing and his lot?

Just some grievance.

It's nothing major.

Actually, Linglong Manor and Yunying Sect
have a bit of a history together.

Why don't you tell me the details?

Let me see if I can help smooth things over.

What are you laughing at?

Do you think I can't handle it?

I simply don't think
you can return to your manor.

What do you mean?

You said, "No one dares to provoke
Linglong Manor in Xiangzhou."

Yet you'd rather flee with a child
than go back home for help.

Isn't it because you caused trouble
and can't go back anymore?

Who says I can't go back?

I just don't want to.

The Yin Yang An is the treasure
of Linglong Manor.

It is said that it stays in the Huo family hall
and has never left.

Now, this sword is in your hands.

And you don't even have anyone to protect you.

I assume when you left the manor,

Master Huo wasn't aware of it, right?

Fine. You guessed it.

But I didn't cause any trouble.

I just ruined the marriage between
the Huo family and Shao Ji Zu.

Why did you do that?

Because our young mistress won't marry
someone she doesn't like.

Everyone says, "Shao Ji Zu is quite good."

But so what if he's good?

Does she have to marry him for that?

Speaking of being good,

our young mistress is good too.

She's been educated in arts and martial arts.

It's just that she has never seen the world
outside of Linglong Manor.

Even if she is to marry,

she must first go out and see the world
and gain some experience.

Then she can judge for herself
if he is truly a good man.

That makes sense.

However, to see Shao Ji Zu for who he is,

you don't need to go out of your way
to wander the world.

I saw through him long ago.

That man has an unspeakable hypocrisy,
and he's arrogant.

He always says our young mistress is highly
skilled in martial arts and a natural prodigy.

He even says,
"Given time, she will definitely defeat him."

Setting aside whether he's sincere,

just that phrase, "she will surely defeat him",
isn't that arrogant?

Why use him as the standard?

He's no great master.

Your young mistress is quite good
at judging people.

Of course.

It's just a pity that she has never
actually defeated Shao Ji Zu even once.

It's so frustrating.

Martial arts is about perception.

No one knows where a person's limit is.

I didn't expect
that while being hunted by soldiers

and carrying a child
who could bring trouble at any moment,

you could still be this happy.

I've only been out for a few days,

but I've fought with Shengyun Stronghold
and the Tang Sect.

Perhaps there will be
even more adventures ahead.

When we reach the capital,

I'll introduce you to a powerful backer,
Xiao Zhao.

With him around, we have nothing to fear.

Forget Shengyun Stronghold or Hanshui Palace.

Even if the Heroes of the North
and South showed up,

I wouldn't be afraid.

Surnamed Zhao,

and he's your backer.

There's likely only one such person
in the capital.

That's him.

The Master of Nanqing Palace,
cousin to the current Emperor.

Zhao Zhuo Qing.

Huo, you are a friend of Prince Hui?

You know him?

Then do you also know
the young servant by his side, Zhao Zhi Er?

The one who's known as The Terror of the Gods?

Compared to The Terror of the Gods,

I'm actually more familiar
with the one called The Ghost's Sorrow.

Lord Zhan's servant, Ming Zhu Er?

I heard that the two of them
are a pair of mischievous monkeys.

The children in the capital have even turned
their exploits into nursery rhymes.

Were you also teased by them?

Not teased, exactly.

But they certainly caused me
a great deal of trouble.

You've been fishing for info from me,

but now I've finally spotted your slip-up.

You must be someone from the court.

Otherwise,
you wouldn't know so many inside details.

Are you sure the person you met
was his accomplice?

Most likely.
The man had excellent lightness skills.

He led me in circles through
the woods for quite a long time.

After that,
I completely lost track of his trail.

Strange.

I've never heard of him
having an accomplice before.

[Yan Ziqing, Yunying Sect]
[Mo Dao, Master of The Xiuluo Cult]

There are too many fallen leaves at this time.

It's Hanshui Palace's Dragon-Slaying Coil.

The one fighting here shouldn't be him.

He was hit
by your Old Souls at First Glance poison.

So he wouldn't be foolish enough
to cross Hanshui Palace again.

No. It must be him.

In this world, how many people are there
who can withstand the Dragon-Slaying Coil?

We must capture him before Shao Ji Zu does.

Such a massive achievement
cannot be allowed to slip away.

He is so severely injured,

yet he took a direct hit from the Sun Envoy.

The two of us are no match for him.

Do you know why your Yunying Sect
can never achieve greatness?

Too many damn rules.

Who says capturing someone
requires a head-on confrontation? Stupid.

Our Xiuluo Cult roam the world
relying on more than just martial arts.

If we want to catch him,

there are plenty of ways.

What? Giving up the search?

Search for what?

If he wants to leave Xiangzhou,

he must travel by water.

Then we'll wait for him at the ferry.

Waiting at our ease for a weary enemy
is much easier than

exhausting ourselves chasing him
through these mountains, right?

I wonder who could be so cruel.

Huo.

This child must be from the Hanshui Palace.

When you lured Yan Zi Qing away,

the Sun Envoy mentioned he hadn't had
his medicine for days.

It seems he's been fed poison since childhood.

Fed poison since childhood?

He's been fed poison since childhood,
yet he's perfectly fine now.

Do you mean

he's like those from the Xiuluo Cult
or the Tang Sect,

taking poison to train?

But looking at his meridians,

he doesn't look like a martial artist.

Do you remember Ge Yun Fei?

He didn't want to kill the boy.

He wanted to use him to save a life.

To save a life?

You must have heard of the secret treasure
of Hanshui Palace, the Chang Hong Bi.

The century-old Hanshui Palace
possesses the rare Chang Hong Bi,

[Chang Hong Bi, Hanshui Palace]
nurtured with Azure Tri-Life Water.

The value of this treasure is its ability
to cure all poisons.

The treasure that Shengyun Stronghold
and the Tang Sect are fighting for

is not an object, but this child.

The Chang Hong Bi is not a piece of jade.

It is a person?

This child has so many scars on their hands.

I'm afraid that's where they came from.

No wonder.

He always carries a faint scent of medicine.

The green poison that the two envoys
of Hanshui Palace forced him to drink,

I'm afraid it was Azure Tri-Life Water.

Due to his unique constitution,

he can drink it for years and survive.

Though he survives,

he still has to endure the immense pain
of the poison.

Perhaps to Granny Hanshui,

he is just an object kept by Hanshui Palace.

But the legend of the Chang Hong Bi
has existed for over a hundred years.

Could this child already be
a hundred years old?

Don't the eldest daughters of Linglong Manor
all take the same name, Huo Ling Long?

Over this past century,

the Chang Hong Bi
may not always be the same person.

So the claim that the Chang Hong Bi
is a jade is just a rumor

spread by the Hanshui Palace
to mislead everyone.

No wonder he eyes everyone
with such a weird look.

Wandering the world at such a young age,

with everyone coveting his special ability,

it's no surprise that he doesn't trust anyone.

I suspect he is more calculating
than you think.

In the fight between Shengyun Stronghold
and the Tang Sect,

that yellow dog pouncing out
suddenly must have been his doing.

Do you remember?

The dog was overly affectionate toward him
the first time they met.

Are you saying he knows Mind Control?

This skill must be practiced from childhood.

Upon reaching a certain age,

it must be aided by inner power.

He has no inner power,

so the Mind Control is beyond his reach.

But to deal with a dog,

it is more than enough.

He was betting
that you would step in to save the dog,

thereby changing the course of the battle.

Do you still intend to continue protecting him?

If our guesses are correct,

he grew up in Hanshui Palace,

forced to swallow poison every day
at the mercy of others,

enduring endless agony.

No one has ever treated him like a human being.

So how could he know what compassion is?

How could he distinguish
between right and wrong?

He just wants to survive.

You are truly broad-minded and kind-hearted.

But in the martial arts world,

with a personality like yours,

I'm afraid you'll be taken advantage of.

The world may be dangerous,

but there are good people like you too.

In my opinion,
why don't we just travel together?

Traveling with me is not a good idea.

Also--

Didn't you just take Linglong Honey?

How come it hurts again?

How badly are you injured?

Bear with it.

You were hit by a Love Longing.

A small fragment was left inside.

I've taken it out for you.

Thank you, Huo.

Who exactly are you?

It wasn't a coincidence
that you appeared at the inn.

You've been poisoned by
the Old Souls at First Glance.

You want the boy's blood to save your life.

You recognize Old Souls at First Glance?

I'm an old friend of the Tang Sect's heir.

He's obsessed with toxicology.
I've seen his notes.

This poison is usually fatal upon contact.

But after being poisoned,

you used inner breath to reverse Iron Shackles
to seal the opposing acupoints.

Every time you reverse it,
you can survive for one more day.

But a new mark appears on your back.

Iron Shackles can only contain
the spread of the poison.

But every time you force
the reversal of inner breath,

the poison seeps deeper into you.

Whenever the poison flares up,
the pain becomes unbearable.

Right now, I cannot explain much.

But I am not a bad person.

You're not a bad person?

Fine.

So how do you explain the Great Compassion Palm
mark of the Shangqing Sect on your back?

The Shangqing Sect is renowned
for being fair and prudent,

never killing the innocent.

Every time they strike,

they only kill heinous scoundrels.

Once struck by the Great Compassion Palm,

your blood will boil,

and the intense heat will cause
dark red spots to appear.

Scalding to the touch.

The Shangqing Sect and the Xiuluo Cult
both good and evil want you dead.

Just who are you?

Don't be afraid. I'm here.

I'll ask you one last time.

Are you going to tell me or not?

If you've decided I'm a villain,

then let us...

part ways right here.

Let's go.

You must be Constable Liu's friend
from the capital.

How did you know I came from the capital?

[Clerk Fang, Yicheng County]
Well...

I heard from Constable Liu.

He had a sworn brother working in the capital.

I figured it might be you.

I'm sorry, I'm too late.

How did Liu die?

He was out on duty a few days ago.

Unfortunately,
he slipped into the river and drowned.

The Great Compassion Palm.

[Zhi Hua, Black Fox]
The item is indeed here.

Useless fools.

They searched so long and found nothing.

Hand it over.

Trying to hide?

I dare you to hide!

Speak! Where is Liu Hong Yi?

He's at the county office!
At the county office!

[Uphold Virtue, Punish Evil]
There is no need to worry.

Our master's subordinate, He Bo,
has already made his move.

In this territory of Xiangzhou,

is there anything he can't handle?

You have no idea.

Liu Hong Yi is well-known
for being stubborn and difficult.

At the county office,
he doesn't even respect me.

Talking back to me is just routine for him.

Do you really think

[County Magistrate Li, Yicheng County]
we can get any information out of that man?

Whether he talks or not depends
on who interrogates him.

Do you know who is interrogating
Liu Hong Yi right now?

Who?

Someone who will make him wish he were dead.

[Liu Hong Yi, Constable of Yicheng County]

The item... Did you get it?

Don't worry.

[Liu Yan, Five Venoms of Xiuluo Cult]

[Gui Mu, Five Venoms of Xiuluo Cult]

[Mei Ying, Five Venoms of Xiuluo Cult]
[Han Feng, Five Venoms of Xiuluo Cult]

Once my Old Souls at First Glance hits you,

you won't leave here alive.

You won't make it out with me.

Just leave.

Take that and hurry off now!

I'm not going without you.

He was hit by my Old Souls at First Glance,

and your Great Compassion Palm.

He won't last long.

You must deliver this...

to the capital.

A-A-Are we just leaving him?

So you can talk?

Have you been pretending to be mute?

N-N-No, I'm not.

Are you the Chang Hong Bi of Hanshui Palace?

M-My name isn't Chang Hong Bi.

So you could always talk.

But... after drinking that... poison,

I lost my voice.

Just now... my throat felt itchy...

and my body... was burning up.

So... I cried out.

So, if you don't drink that medicine,

you can speak just like a normal person.

You're free now.

Is there anywhere you want to go?
I can take you there.

We'd better find a place
far away from these chaos.

I'll keep your identity a secret.

You have nowhere to go?

I-I-I only trust you.

Let's go.

He's... badly injured.

So you're worried about him?

At the pavilion today,

he told me... to run away.

You mean that after he saved you
from the Hanshui Palace disciples,

he didn't drink your blood?

You must be the one who intervened at the inn.

You're badly injured,

yet you still meddle in others' business?

30 years ago...

the old master of Shengyun Stronghold
died at the hands of the Tang Sect.

Since then, you have been sworn enemies.

Your sect is skilled with swords,

but the Tang Sect excels in poisons.

You've clashed many times,

but you never gained the upper hand.

That's why...

upon hearing of Hanshui Palace's treasure,

you'd seize it at any cost.

Your Shengyun Stronghold has lost two masters.

Master Jiao, stop being so stubborn.

Didn't you say I'm good at martial arts?

Then I'll hold them off for a while.

Let's see if your words are genuine.

You got here fast, Master Jiao.

So you're willing to risk
offending Linglong Manor

and Hanshui Palace
just to seize the Chang Hong Bi.

Indeed, I should show Hanshui Palace
some respect.

But as for Linglong Manor,

I don't care about them at all!

The bronze sword?

Yin Yang An can defeat all weapons.

Because when it was forged,
lodestones were added.

So, against bronze weapons,
it's just an ordinary sword.

How did you know the secret of Yin Yang An?

I know plenty more secrets
about your family's martial arts!

Even if you lay down your life,

you can't protect this child!

After I'm done with him,

I'll deal with you!

Save him! Go save him!

So you've even studied A Fleeting Glimpse?

I'm the one they want.

You two should go!

I won't leave you behind.

Today, I shall fight to the death,

and never leave this scourge to Linglong Manor!

What? Haven't you had enough?

I'll tell you the truth.

This sword formation was created
specifically for your family.

You can't break it.

What are you waiting for?

Go save him!

Who told you about the secret
of Yin Yang An and A Fleeting Glimpse?

And where did you get this sword formation?

We have no grudge against Shengyun Stronghold.

Why did you go to such lengths to target us?

If you want to know, go ask Huo Tian Xing.

However, if you let me go today,
I will not be grateful!

You will surely regret it one day!

The sword formation you spent years on
was broken by me in an instant.

What else do I have to fear?

Even if you go study ten more formations,

you're still no threat to me.

Wait a moment.

What?

Regretting it already?

Have your disciples double up.

Leave two horses for us.
