Deng Kuan,

tomorrow is the Heroes Conference.

Father said

he would announce

my marriage to Chengling at the conference.

I can't disobey my father.

If you wake up one day,

will you blame me?

Who is it?

Gu Xiang, it's you?

What happened to you?

What happened?

Why are your hands so hot?

Hurry up and lie down.

Why were you so careless?

Be careful.

Slowly.

Silly Gu Xiang.

You should be more careful.

At this distance,

I can surely freeze her with the Unfaithful Nail

that Qianqiao gave me.

It does feel a bit hot.

Don't go.

All right, let me check your pulse.

Gu Xiang.

Don't panic. I have to freeze her in one move.

Only then will I have the chance to exchange her for Madam Luo.

Gu Xiang!

Gu Xiang!

Gu Xiang!

They said you are sick and came to see the doctor.

What's wrong?

How did you get sick all of a sudden?

Xiaolian, is it serious?

Not particularly.

I'll fetch her some medicine.

Gu Xiang.

Go away. Don't touch me.

What are you doing, Cao Weining?

I--

I wasn't doing anything.

I bought you some snacks.

Gosh, he's so clingy.

Why did he have to choose

this moment to barge in?

Gu Xiang, the medicine will be bitter.

Here, have something sweet.

No.

-I don't want it! -It's delicious.

Try it.

Really, look.

It's delicious.

From now on,

if Mount Tai Sect has any demands,

the Five Lakes Alliance

will do our best to comply, even if we have to risk our lives.

Very well.

Mount Tai Sect's only request

is for the Five Lakes Alliance to punish the murderer immediately!

Punish the murderer!

-Yes! -Yes! Punish the murderer!

-Punish the murderer! -Punish the murderer!

Of course the murderer must be punished.

As long as everyone works together,

we'll catch the demon of Ghost Valley and cut him into a thousand pieces

to comfort the spirit of Master Ao Laizi.

You are messing around!

He killed my master!

Did you see Chief Shen kill him with your own eyes?

Or did you see Chief Shen order his murder with your own eyes?

So you saw neither, did you?

Everyone knows

that Master Ao Laizi was killed by Ghost Valley.

Many friends and families

of the martial arts world

were murdered by the Ghost Valley.

The reason I arranged the Heroes Conference here

is to avenge the dead!

But everyone, you must remember,

don't fall for the instigation of others!

Don't fall into chaos!

Or else, you will step right into the trap of the evildoers!

Elder Huang, what do you think?

You're right.

The most important thing right now

is to crusade against Ghost Valley.

The lost Glazed Armor of Master Ao Laizi

has most likely fallen into the hands of the murderer from Ghost Valley.

As the saying goes, evil does not suppress righteousness.

The Five Lakes Alliance will destroy the Ghost Valley

and return peace to the martial arts world!

Crusade against Ghost Valley. Restore peace in the martial arts world!

Crusade against Ghost Valley. Restore peace in the martial arts world!

Crusade against Ghost Valley. Restore peace in the martial arts world!

Gao Chong is quite eloquent.

Crusade against Ghost Valley. Restore peace in the martial arts world!

Crusade against Ghost Valley. Restore peace in the martial arts world!

Crusade against Ghost Valley. Restore peace in the martial arts world!

Chief Gao.

A few days ago at Renyi Hall,

you promised to explain

the whole story behind the Glazed Armor

to everyone at the Heroes Conference.

Over half of the heroes who are joining the conference are here.

When are you going to tell us the truth?

Huang He.

Do you want to know the truth about the Glazed Armor

or do you want to know the whereabouts of it?

So what if I do?

Don't the present heroes

deserve to know the truth?

That's right!

That is the reason why the Iron Fist Clan came here today!

The Iron Fist Clan bore the brunt of the Battle of Mount Qingya.

We suffered heavy casualties.

Chief Gao.

You still owe us an explanation!

Chief Gao!

I lost an eye on Mount Qingya

and my son!

I paid such a high price,

yet I didn't garner the lost secrets of my Eagle Claw Clan.

Isn't that enough reason to ask the Five Lakes Alliance for the truth?

-Chief Gao! Explain it to us! -Explain it to us!

-Explain it to us! -Explain it to us!

-Hurry up, answer us! -Answer us!

-Hurry up, explain yourself! -Explain yourself! Answer us!

-Hurry up, answer us! -Answer us!

Hey, friend.

It's getting exciting. Where are you going?

It's you?

Scorpion Sect?

Fine. I shall tell you the truth today.

The Glazed Armor

is in the possession of the Five Lakes Alliance.

Gao Chong!

The Five Lakes Alliance did everything

only for the peace and tranquility

of the martial arts world.

As the martial arts world suffered heavily after the Battle of Mount Qingya

and couldn't withstand an even bigger calamity,

we five brothers divided the Glazed Armor between us

to secretly protect them

and wait for the right moment.

Chief Gao!

You make it sound so reasonable as if that was your only choice!

The World's Armory contains secret records of martial arts from all over the world.

What right does the Alliance have to keep all heroes in the dark?

Chief Gao!

Every one of us contributed to defeating Rong Xuan!

How could you keep the Glazed Armor a secret?

-What rights do you have? -That's right!

Hand over the Glazed Armor!

We will redistribute it!

-Yes. Hand over the Glazed Armor! -Hand it over!

Redistribute it!

-Hand it over! -Redistribute it!

-Hand it over! -Hand it over!

-Dear heroes, -Hand it over!

Please listen to what I have to say.

Years ago, the Glazed Armor caused great bloodshed

among the martial arts world!

It almost caused a catastrophe.

Right now in Yueyang City,

the fake pieces of Glazed Armor are being spread by the wicked.

It once again caused countless deaths and injuries in our world.

This item is a curse to the martial arts world!

Chief Gao, stop being a hypocrite!

The turmoil within the martial arts world 20 years ago

and the dispute caused by the fake Glazed Armor right now

were both planned by the Five Lakes Alliance, weren't they?

Only someone who is very familiar with the Glazed Armor

could have made such real-looking fake ones, right?

What are you trying to say?

Why do you keep slandering Chief Gao?

What is your purpose?

What do you mean?

Did the Five Lakes Alliance make fake Glazed Armor pieces?

How vicious!

Feng Xiaofeng! You're full of nonsense!

Feng Xiaofeng, shut your mouth!

If you dare spread any more rumors,

I will kill you!

Feng Xiaofeng! You'll be the first one I kill!

Get down here.

Zhou Xu.

Just say come down, you didn't need to hit me.

Would I dare to disobey you?

Zhou Xu, it's good you came.

Drink.

Where did you run off to?

I saw Pretty Arhat just now.

With Scorpion Sect involved in this,

nothing good will come of it.

Things are bad

whether Scorpion Sect is involved or not.

As long as the fire doesn't reach our Chengling,

what does it matter to us?

I was thinking about how Scorpion Sect

abducted Chengling back then.

There's something strange about it.

Wasn't that for the Glazed Armor?

Zhou Xu, don't worry about it. Just relax and watch the show.

If you ask me,

this big show of Chief Gao fighting the heroes with his words

will entail a shocking twist.

Let's wait for the highlight.

I saw him build a big building

I saw him feast with his guests

I saw his building collapse

Gao Chong, the Beggar Gangs, the Ghost Valley, the Window of Heaven,

and the Scorpion Sect.

From beginning to end,

in this fight for the Glazed Armor,

the shadow of the Scorpion Sect lingered around.

What role does the Scorpion Sect play in this?

"When you know where to stop, you have stability.

When you have stability, you can be tranquil."

Father.

Everything you've planned has been arranged.

It's your turn now.

It's time to end it.

If I'm right,

the Ghost Valley and the Scorpion Sect must have joined hands.

The incident of the theater corpses

harbors the shadow of Scorpion's assassin Qin Song.

And the strange Drug Men driven by evil spirits

at the Zhao family's coffin home

also appeared in large numbers at the base of the Scorpion Sect.

Wen Kexing.

Someone is manipulating the show behind the scenes.

This person is scheming with malicious intent.

Is that not good?

It's precisely because there are

so many twists and turns created by conceited people

that you and I have such a wonderful time watching it play out.

What you call a wonderful time

entails the blood of innocent people.

Is that what you wish to see?

"Innocent"?

Which of these people dare call themselves innocent?

But Zhou Xu, you are right.

This kind of exciting blood-filled play of starving animals fighting over food

is exactly what I want to see.

You go on and on about the Ghost Valley.

Stop beating around the bush.

Chief Gao, please take out the Glazed Armor.

Open the armory!

Every sect will retrieve their secret records that were lost.

Then we shall fight against the Ghost Valley.

Wouldn't that be perfect?

-Yes. Open the armory! -Hand over the Glazed Armor!

Open the armory!

Hand over the Glazed Armor!

-Open the armory! -Hand over the Glazed Armor!

Everyone!

It's not that I am unwilling to hand over the Glazed Armor.

Even if I hand it over,

you can't open the gate to the armory.

Enough!

Stop telling us one lie after another.

We've heard enough.

Just hand over the Glazed Armor!

Chief Gao is quite clever and fickle.

There's someone who can testify for me.

Let me see

what tricks you have left.

Put her down!

Whatever it is, let's take this woman away first!

-Master. -Go!

Let's go.

How strange.

Why haven't I seen anyone on the way?

Where are the disciples on patrol?

WORSHIP OF LITERATURE

How strange. Why are all the people here gone?

Where did the doctor and pharmacist go?

Ms. Gao, come with me!

You both should go first, I'll stop them!

As if you could!

Cao Weining!

You old witch! How dare you hurt him!

Watch out!

Cao Weining!

Weining!

Cao Weining!

Don't die!

I don't want to owe you my life for nothing!

Right.

Why did I choose you in the first place?

If I knew, I would have found another way

to get inside Yueyang Sect.

Why did you treat me so well?

Silly girl.

Will you waste the life-saving tablet I gave you this way?

Madam Luo?

LONG XIAO YOUNG CHIEF OF LONGYUAN CABINET

-Who is this person? -He is…

Didn't you see the carriage's mechanism?

That must be the legendary Chief of the Longyuan Cabinet.

He is the only one

who can create

such brilliant mechanics.

In the old days, even the emperor showed Longyuan Cabinet his respect.

There were rumors 20 years ago

in the martial arts world

that the Longyuan Cabinet could open the armory.

Open the armory?

The chief of the Longyuan Cabinet is an old man!

Who is this kid?

I think you all recognize him now.

This is Long Xiao, the Young Chief of Longyuan Cabinet,

the one and only Master of Mechanics.

I invited him here today

so he can tell everyone

the whole story behind the armory!

Chief Gao is right.

No one knows the story behind the armory

better than my father,

the half-genius Long Que.

-The demon Rong Xuan used clever means -The half-genius Long Que?

to steal countless secret records

of martial arts from various sects.

He knew he had committed many wrongdoings.

For fear that others will steal from him,

he deceived my father and tricked him

into designing the World's Armory for him.

Young Chief Long.

Gao Chong just said

that even with the Glazed Armor, the armory cannot be opened.

What the hell is this nonsense?

Chief Gao is right.

The armory is highly complex.

It is indeed impossible to open it safely with the Glazed Armor alone.

Just tell us, can you open the armory or not?

-Yes, can you open the armory? -Can you open it?

-Can you? -I am sorry to disappoint you.

I did not inherit the true teachings of my father.

I cannot open the armory.

-Can't open it? Stop wasting our time! -Why say all this if you can't open it?

However, the mechanics were designed by my father.

He must know how to open it.

Chief Gao.

I came here in person today

to convey my father's attitude to you

with everyone as my witness.

No matter how much you bribe us

or coerce us,

we will never help you open the armory

and satisfy your selfishness!

Young Chief Long.

The armory is the armory of the people!

No one can claim it for themselves!

-That's right! -Well said!

The armory is the armory of the people!

-That's right! Well said! -Well said!

I knew you wanted to make the armory your own!

-No one can claim it for themselves. -You all heard it, didn't you?

Gao Chong wants to take all the treasures in the armory!

How despicable!

Long Xiao!

When has my brother ever bribed or coerced your father?

Spewing such nonsense

in front of so many people,

do you think I won't kill you?

What the hell are you saying?

Why did you lie to me?

What are you scheming?

Everyone, please don't believe him!

My brother has never harassed the Longyuan Cabinet!

Gao Chong, haven't you played us enough?

Your witness already told us the truth.

How much longer do you still want to deny it?

Hand over the Glazed Armor quickly!

-Hand it over! -Hand over the Glazed Armor!

Hurry up and hand over the Glazed Armor!

Gao Chong, I'm sorry!

I couldn't find the Longyuan Cabinet, no matter how hard I tried.

He found me instead.

He said he would testify for me.

It's all my fault. I got you into this mess.

Zhao Xuande?

How did such a weak and stupid fool

become one of the five sons of the Five Lakes Alliance?

Shen Shen was not an idiot then.

Aren't your apprentice’s father and Lu Taichong not much better?

What a Five Lakes Alliance.

Wen Kexing, why do you hold such extreme views?

Don't let hatred blind your eyes

and affect your judgment on the Five Lakes Alliance.

Can't you see it with your talent?

Someone deliberately set Gao Chong up.

I know that of course.

That's why I can’t wait to applaud this guy.

Zhou Xu, don't speak.

Let's see how Hero Gao will manage to turn the tide

and respond to this scheme.

Quiet down!

Hurry up and hand it over!

Everyone, quiet down!

There may be some misunderstanding between Young Chief Long's father and me.

But I can promise you this,

I do not hold

any selfish motives regarding the armory!

What misunderstanding?

Don't confuse the crowd anymore!

-Hurry up and hand over the Glazed Armor! -Yes, hand it over!

I swear to Heaven!

Once Ghost Valley is wiped out,

Young Chief Long and I

will distribute the secrets of the armory among all sects.

If I am insincere,

I shall be cut into thousands of pieces!

If there is no objection, this matter has thus been decided.

Young Chief Long, you've had a long journey.

You may go to rest now.

Yes!

Get up.

Get up!

Chengling.

Don't be afraid.

Come.

Mr. Gao.

There's one more thing

I have to tell everyone.

This is Zhang Chengling,

son of my fourth brother, Zhang Yusen.

He is the last descendant of the Mirror Lake Sect.

I have decided

to betroth my daughter

to him!

In the future, he will be my son-in-law,

and together with my daughter,

they will lead Mirror Lake Sect and Yueyang Sect.

After that,

I shall become a monk

and walk my path with Buddha.

I will no longer

handle the matters of the mortal world again.

Gao Chong, don't do this!

I have made my decision.

You don't need to stop me.

You brats!

How dare you force my leader into becoming a monk!

Are you satisfied now?

Zhou Xu.

Gao Chong dragged your apprentice down with him.

Do you still think I was wrong about him?

No.

Doing this

doesn't benefit him at all.

Zhou Xu, why do you insist on contradicting me?

Gao Chong has always pretended to be the paragon of virtue.

He must be using Chengling

for some tricks of his!

Gao Chong announced this in public.

There is no return for him.

Chengling has handed over the Glazed Armor.

What would be his value to Gao Chong?

Everyone, please look.

What is this?

This is the Token of Honor!

-What? What is the Token of Honor? -What is that?

This is the token of Mount Changming Sword Immortal.

The Sword Immortal once swore an oath,

if the Ghost Valley harms the martial arts world,

the holder of this token

can order the world to eradicate that cancerous evil

in his name!

TOKEN OF HONOR

With this token,

what doubt could you possess?

I'm willing

to return the armory to the people!

I don't need power and might!

I only have one wish!

Which is

to destroy Ghost Valley,

to avenge the deceased brothers,

and to return peace to the martial arts world!

Our Five Lakes Alliance

and the Ghost Valley can't mutually exist!

It is imperative to attack Mount Qingya!

What else do you have to say?

Bring the wine.

LONE ARE THE TAIYUE AND DANYANG SECTS EMPTINESS THE WORLD REMAINS

Those who are willing to work with me to wipe out Ghost Valley

may have your blood mixed in it.

Whether we were friends or foes,

after drinking this wine,

we will be brothers who can die for each other.

Before Ghost Valley is destroyed,

this oath will not be broken.

Those who take the oath may stay,

those who wish to leave,

I will not stop you.

Hero Gao.

You really know how to fool people--

Chief Gao.

The Gentle Wind Sword Sect and Ghost Valley have a blood feud.

Today I, Fan Huaikong, entrust my life to you.

I shall follow your orders.

Thank you.

Chief Gao!

My Jujing Gang looks forward to your leadership.

What Chief Gao said was good.

My men and I swear to follow Chief Gao.

Cao Gang will also follow you!

Chief Gao, I didn't listen clearly.

I wish to confirm something with you.

You said that after Ghost Valley is destroyed,

you'll open the armory

and give the secret records to each sect, right?

I will not go back on my word.

Good. Chief Gao is an upright man.

There's something I'm curious about.

The Combined Six Cultivation Method and the Yin Yang Book

belong to no one.

How do you plan on settling that?

That's right!

Who will get

the Combined Six Cultivation Method

and the Yin Yang Book?

Will these unowned items

end up in your pocket?

You people!

You haven't even cleared up the most critical issue yet

before anxiously pledging your allegiance.

This is Hero Gao's usual trick!

Who says the Combined Six Cultivation Method

and the Yin Yang Book

don't belong to anyone?

Rong Xuan had his own sect.

Once I open the armory,

we will return the Combined Six Cultivation Method

to his sect!

As for the Yin Yang Book,

it belongs to the Healer Valley!

It will naturally be returned.

Chief Gao, stop joking around.

They are all dead, how will you return it?

The chief of our Feisha Gang is a close friend of the Healer Valley.

This Yin Yang Book should be given to us.

You brat!

Stop kidding!

What kind of friendship would that be?

Why don't you say that your leader

is the long-lost grandson of the chief of the Healer Valley?

That's right!

Dear heroes,

if you ask me, our Five Tigers Broken Knives Clan

suffered the worst casualties

in the Battle of Mount Qingya.

Speaking of meritorious deeds,

our Peng family should be awarded the Combined Six Cultivation Method

as compensation.

Is it that glorious to have a high death count?

You call that meritorious?

You!

Feng Xiaofeng is right.

We should distribute according to merit.

Our Twelve Chain Cove rendered the most merit.

The strategy of besieging Mount Qingya

was our leader's idea.

You bunch of robbers

are just idiots!

What idea?

You--

Chief, are you guys from the cove even literate?

Even if you get the book,

can you read it?

He is right.

Everyone,

our Funiu Sect has a long history and long heritage!

This Yin Yang Book should be ours!

Fight.

Why aren't they fighting?

Wen Kexing,

who are you exactly?

Do you want to test

my martial arts skills?

Why not? I'm not afraid! Come on!

Come!

They want to fight but don't dare to.

Cowards.

Wen Kexing.

Do you hate the Five Lakes Alliance

or the whole martial arts world?

You're still trying to tell me you aren't Rong Xuan's son?

Zhou Xu.

Whether you believe me or not,

I have never lied to you

from the first day we met.

In that case,

why bother with these ignorant people?

"People"?

How are they even human?

The righteous clans of the martial arts world?

The difference between them and the Ghost Valley

is that one is blatantly evil,

while the other is wearing a cover of benevolence, justice, and morality.

Yet as soon as they see flesh,

they can't wait to tear off their human skin

and start barking and biting!

Exciting.

How exciting.

All right.

We walk different paths.

I can't persuade you.

Do whatever you want.

Let's go our separate ways.

Everyone's gone. I'm all alone now.

There are only so few people locked up.

What's the point of watching them?

Deng Kuan, you're awake!

That's great!

YUE

I'm Deng Kuan, the first disciple of the Yueyang Sect.

Rewarding the evil and punishing the good,

such is the impermanence of nature.

It's my turn to appear.

Everything shall be done according to Master's arrangement.

Ghost Valley came at the right time.

Let's work together.

Let's destroy these ghosts.

Their blood shall be the sacrifice for our banner!

Chief Gao, no true man is without cruelty.

What a cruel mind you have.

That idiot Long-Tongued Ghost has just destroyed the Mirror Lake Sect for you.

Now, you turn around and kill him?

Tragicomic Ghost trapped and killed Danyang Sect's disciples.

Happy Ghost killed Ao Laizi.

Weren't all those instructed by you?

Gao Chong, it really was you!

You bastard!

We agreed on dividing up

the armory's treasure equally after collecting the Glazed Armor.

After you got three pieces of it,

you immediately turned around and betrayed us.

You want to destroy Ghost Valley?

Who are you?

Stop slandering me!

"A wise man won't believe rumors." There's no use in saying more!

Do you think Ghost Valley

will let you do whatever you want?

Kuan'er?

Yueyang Sect's first disciple, Deng Kuan?

Isn't he dead?

-Enough, Master. -He is still alive.

Kuan'er.

Everyone.

-What's going on? -I am Deng Kuan,

the first disciple of the Yueyang Sect.

I'm not dead!

I was kept imprisoned by Gao Chong.

It was him

who instructed me to sneak into the Mirror Lake Sect

and help Long-Tongued Ghost sneak inside

to extinguish the Zhang family.

Kuan'er,

what are you talking about?

Gao Chong!

You abandoned the Five Lakes Alliance!

Such disloyalty!

You murdered your own brothers!

Such disrespect!

You harmed the lost orphan of the Mirror Lake Sect.

Such inhumanity!

You colluded with Ghost Valley to disrupt the martial arts world.

Such injustice!

I assisted you in your cruel ways,

I am too ashamed to live!

I shall end my life to maintain justice!

I will die with you!

Kuan'er!

Deng Kuan!

Deng Kuan!

Deng Kuan!

Deng Kuan!

You can't believe him!

This kid is crazy!

Kuan'er.

Who wants me to be dead

by controlling you?

Changing Ghost.

So this is where you're making your move.

Sure enough, a dog that can bite doesn't bark.

Congratulations, you abandoned the dark

and cast a bright future.
