Original subtitles

Is it my fault

that your wife died in childbirth?

If you hate me,

just kill me early on

to avenge your wife's death.

Since you decided to raise me,

why did you let me grow up with a disability?

You know the Yin Yang Book can raise the dead

and reverse yin and yang.

You also knew it was in the armory,

but you've never said a word about it!

You just sat by and watched me become a wreck for over a decade!

I've told you 100 times, but you never trusted me.

What else can I do?

Healers care about patients like parents do to children.

If Yin Yang Book really has such a miraculous effect,

why did the Healer Valley

keep it a secret?

That's bullshit!

That's just an excuse!

You didn't even try it!

You can move the Longyuan Cabinet for your dead wife.

You can bear all these years of suffering

for your so-called good friends,

but you refuse to open that armory

for your living son!

I'm so sorry.

It's my sin for not teaching him well.

I deserve all of this.

Do you know Yue Feng'er from the Healer Valley?

Master Ye,

do you mean

the senior of the Three Heroes of the Healer Valley,

Fairy Ganoderma Yue Feng'er?

Without the Three Heroes of the Healer Valley's help,

Yu Zhui might not have agreed to marry me.

Yue Feng'er.

Is she the wife of Rong Xuan?

Yes.

Only my friend, Rong Xuan,

is suitable for a lady like her.

So what exactly happened between Rong Xuan and his wife?

You know what happened, don't you?

Yes.

Master Long, I have a question.

Could you please give me an answer?

Zishu, who is he?

That friend of yours?

Mr. Long.

He is my close friend.

His name is Wen Kexing.

Wen Kexing hates his father.

The situation is not clear yet.

Should I reveal his identity?

You've finally got a friend.

That's great.

Long Xiao said at the Heroes Conference

that Gao Chong once forced and used you to open the armory for him.

Is that true?

Where did you hear that?

The last time I saw him

was 20 years ago.

Besides, Glazed Armor is in their hands.

It's useless to me to open that armory.

Long Xiao also said that 20 years ago,

Rong Xuan once deceived you into building the armory for him.

-Is that true? -Deceived me?

Kid, don't trust even a single word from him.

I helped Rong Xuan

reconstruct the armory willingly.

Mr. Long,

for the past 20 years,

about the origin of the armory…

There have been many false rumors in the martial arts world.

Can you tell us the whole story?

Why did Mr. Rong Xuan insist on constructing the armory?

And what happened to this armory?

If you are curious about that,

I'll tell you then.

But where should I start?

It was your master, Qin Huaizhang,

who met Rong Xuan first.

Thanks to the serendipity,

we got to know each other later on.

Together, we practiced chivalry and justice and cracked down on evil forces.

It was such a free and happy time.

Thanks to your master and Rong Xuan,

a nerd like me

had such a good time.

A gang of us, a beam of light.

What a wonderful time that was!

What good had I done

that I get to be one of them?

Mr. Long,

in Master Rong's armory…

Zishu.

Although Rong Xuan was our mainstay,

the armory wasn't his.

Together, we helped him build it.

You mentioned the five brothers of the Five Lakes Alliance.

Was my father one of them?

Who is your father?

My father

was the hero of Mirror Lake, Zhang Yusen.

What?

You are Yusen's son?

Good boy. Come and let me see you.

I never thought that a goon like Yusen

could have such a handsome boy.

You must have taken after your mother.

How is your father?

My father

is gone.

Mr. Long,

it's a long story.

Master Zhang died protecting the Glazed Armor.

Chief Lu Taichong

and Chief Gao Chong

both died for the Glazed Armor.

The ghosts of Mount Qingya have entered the world of the living,

creating bloody turmoil again.

Panic and vendetta have flooded the martial arts world.

All of these

are for these two words, "Glazed Armor."

But scrambling for it will only end up in vain.

Glazed Armor is merely a lock.

Without Rong Xuan's key,

what's the point of having the lock?

Key?

Do you have Rong Xuan's key?

No.

"No"?

That's it.

You don't believe me, neither do they.

I can't do anything about it.

Yu Zhui is gone anyway.

I have no desire to see anyone now.

Well, that's enough.

Where's the key?

I know where it is, but I won't tell you.

I've sworn not to tell anyone.

You have to tell me now.

Otherwise, what would happen?

My son killed

my disciples and servants right before my eyes.

He even severed my legs inch by inch.

What else can you do to me?

Master Ye. Hero Ye.

Please don't be hard on this old man.

-He-- -Shut up.

I need to figure out what on earth happened to Rong Xuan.

You built the armory together. What happened then?

How did he go crazy as everything was right?

Did any of you do him any harm?

Old Monster!

Why are you being so pushy when he doesn't want to bring it up?

Tell me now!

Are you done?

-Are you crazy? -I'm fed up with you.

What's wrong with beating you up?

You've gone through hardships seeking the truth.

Have you lost your mind now?

Do you know what is coming in high spirits and returning after much enjoyment?

I don't want to know the truth now. All right?

Enough of this. No more fights.

Wen Kexing, stop it or you might regret it.

I must find out how Rong Xuan died.

He was my disciple!

Your disciple?

Mountain Closing Sword.

The Three Heroes of the Healer Valley.

The leader of the Five Lakes Alliance.

Gao Chong.

I finally got all of you together.

You belittled me, singled me out,

and bossed me around like a puppet.

Have you ever thought

that one day,

I would be the one who is worshiping you?

The idea of the armory is total bullshit!

I had to shed my blood with you

for your damn whim.

But you, a wild bastard,

had nothing to care about.

That's why you dare to offend the world of martial arts.

But how about us?

I've struggled for most of my life.

From a poor young man

to the chief of Tai Lake Sect.

But because of you,

all of my efforts were almost wasted!

You had the Combined Six Cultivation Power,

but you didn't let us practice it

because you failed to master it.

Well…

Let's not practice it all together then.

MEMORIAL TABLET OF RONG XUAN

You were the cloud and I was the mud in those days.

You were right about everything.

I was wrong in everything I do.

But now?

You are reduced to just a tablet,

yet I'm still standing here, alive.

Gao Chong,

if you are seeing this from heaven,

you must be feeling regretful.

I tried to talk some sense into you,

but you never listened.

You were upset with Rong Xuan

and trusted that idiot Shen Shen instead.

Why did you have to cling to the power?

You deserve to end up like this.

MEMORIAL TABLET OF GAO CHONG

The only thing that I regret the most

is that I didn't get to show you all of this when you were alive.

MEMORIAL TABLET OF GAO CHONG

I just want all people to know

that I am the only true hero here.

Only I, Zhao Jing,

can carry the Five Lakes Alliance forward!

Mountain Closing Swordsmanship.

You really are his master.

You are Ye…

Ye Baiyi.

You are still alive?

Is that Combined Six Cultivation Power?

Combined Six Cultivation Power,

it really exists!

Immortality!

Nature and man combined as one!

Master Ye,

your Combined Six Cultivation Method

is still well-kept in the armory.

The dead are gone.

Rong Xuan was ignorant then

and did things wrongly.

He felt guilty and was full of remorse.

"Guilty and remorse"?

How foolish!

Rong Xuan asked his wife

to send the key of the Glazed Armor

to his master in Mount Changming

and tell him what happened.

And she needed to kowtow and apologize to his master for him.

Yet things were not as we expected them to be.

And then?

What happened next?

Zishu.

Do you have any alcohol?

Master.

No sun and moon can barely be seen here in the mountain.

I have no idea

how long I haven't drunk such good alcohol.

Long Que, stop that nonsense.

Just get back to the point.

Master Ye, that's not nonsense.

God let me live until now,

as He wants me to reveal the truth to the world.

Nice one!

The Yellow River comes from the sky,

rushing into the sea and never coming back!

Do you not see…

Do you not see how sad it is

when the bright mirror hung high up in the hall reflects the gray hair?

It was silk-black at dawn,

-Not bad. -but turned snow-white at dusk.

-Yes. Let's drink. -Please drink up! Don't put down your cup!

Drink it.

-Great. -Great.

Great.

Shen Shen, what are you doing?

SHEN SHEN

Feng'er, forgive me.

Feng'er, let him go.

-That's right. -Shen Shen, it's your fault.

Why did you break the cup?

There is a saying in the martial arts world.

-Come. -"Two beauties in the Healer Valley

are the incarnation of the valley's aura and enchantment."

So Ruyu,

you are the one who absorbs

all the foolishness and filthiness.

Shen Shen.

Ruyu stood up for you. Why do you tease him?

Rong Xuan, am I wrong?

You're not wrong.

That's just a custom

in the martial arts world.

The martial arts world?

Interesting.

ZHAO JING

Zhao Jing, what are you doing?

-Come and drink. -Zhao Jing.

-Come and drink. -Come on now.

-Come here, Zhao Jing. -Don't just sit there. Come on.

Which dumbass gave himself away when stealing books from Mount Tai?

No one saw me.

No one saw you.

GAO CHONG

The elder of Mount Tai came to Father asking for an explanation!

Father has asked all disciples of the Five Lakes Alliance

fitting the description to go to Mount Tai Sect for investigation.

Zhao Jing.

You just can't do anything right!

Useless!

Gao Chong.

Sit.

Don't worry. Let's think of a solution together.

If the cat is out of the bag,

I'll admit it to Chief and ask for punishment.

I won't get you involved.

Calm down.

You can't plead guilty.

Being expelled from the sect is already mercy.

What if the master takes away your martial arts?

Rong Xuan.

Please do something about it!

Zhao Jing.

We can't even scold you now?

Don't you deserve it?

One should answer for what he does.

The World's Armory is my idea,

so it's me who should take the responsibility.

Don't panic.

Take it easy.

The sky wouldn't fall as the taller will withstand it.

Rong Xuan

lit a fire in our hearts,

burning every one of us into a devil.

He always said the sectarian bias

and the rules of the martial arts world

are all formalities!

Real martial artists should act openly and honestly.

In those days,

we were committed to collecting books of unique martial skills.

Stupid!

Unique martial skills are created by humans.

Fighting over a secret book written by someone else…

Do you think that they had two brains or have you guys lost your mind?

You just learn whatever you are taught.

What's the difference between you and the trained monkeys?

You even caused so much trouble and people died for this.

Luckily, that little brat left the sect himself.

Otherwise, I would kill myself out of shame

for having such a stupid disciple!

Old Monster, shut up!

Master Ye, if you keep interrupting,

Mr. Long could never get to the point.

Master Ye's words make sense.

Zishu,

your master expostulated us

almost in the same way.

My master?

We went through so much trouble to look for the site of the armory.

We changed a few places

and none of them were satisfactory.

Finally, your master

told us about the underground palace of the former dynasty that he found.

Later on, I took care of its transformation.

So Mr. Long,

it was you who invented the Glazed Armor lock?

No. When your master and his friends traveled around,

they got the Glazed Armor lock and its key.

Both of them were made with ingenuity.

It wasn't easy for Huaizhang to collect them all.

However, when he opened the palace,

he found nothing in it.

So he gave it to us

and that's what the armory was built upon.

Get back to the point!

How did Rong Xuan die?

His death has puzzled me

for years.

I really don't know

who is to blame for Rong Xuan's tragedy.

That's a deal. One round only.

If you lose,

stop bringing that up again.

Rong Xuan, if you lose,

you can't regret it.

Pardon me, Rong Xuan.

Rong Xuan, are you really going to challenge five at the same time?

That's too arrogant. Don't you think?

It's time-saving for me.

If all of you together can't defeat me,

I dare you not to argue for practicing the martial arts

which even I can't master.

Cut the cackle.

Form the sword array!

I'm sorry, Rong Xuan.

Gao Chong, great job. No mercy, right?

Rong Xuan, enough. Accidents happen in fights.

It's just a wound, no big deal. Come on!

Look.

They really like fighting.

Are you going to admit defeat?

I've told you that you're not good enough to be my opponent.

-I admit it. -Rong Xuan, I admire you.

I sincerely and heartily admit it.

-Rong Xuan! -Rong Xuan!

-My dear! -Rong Xuan!

-Rong Xuan! -My dear.

-Rong Xuan. -My dear.

-Rong Xuan. -My dear.

My dear.

It's the Triple Corpse Poison.

What?

How did the Triple Corpse Poison get here?

What?

Who?

Who is it?

Who?

Who harmed my husband?

Gao Chong.

Is it you?

Why did you harm my husband?

I didn't do anything.

His blood is on your sword.

Nonsense. It wasn't me!

Gao Chong!

Why?

Why did you do that?

-Gao Chong. -Gao Chong.

It's not me.

It's not me!

I would never do that!

Master Long.

So they were just competing

and not trying to kill each other?

We were so close back then.

Why would we kill each other?

Then was it Gao Chong who poisoned him?

I've asked myself

hundreds of times about that.

But I believe him.

He wouldn't hurt Rong Xuan, no matter what.

He had no reason to kill him.

Mr. Long, please excuse me for being blunt.

Gao Chong did have a reason for poisoning him.

For a long time, he longed for the Combined Six Cultivation Method.

But no one got it.

After Rong Xuan was poisoned,

his wife drove all five of them out

as she hated them.

The armory could only be opened with the six of them.

Six of them?

Yes, five of them kept one piece of the Glazed Armor respectively.

Rong Xuan kept the key himself.

After they split up,

the armory was never opened again.

And the Combined Six Cultivation Method

has been left in the armory since then.

Putting aside their close friendship,

why did Gao Chong have to harm others for no reason?

If not him, then who?

Wen Kexing.

What's wrong?

Wen Kexing.

Triple Corpse Poison can only turn people into walking corpses.

Who drove him crazy then?

Just tell us.

Even if it's the King of Heaven or the Jade Emperor,

I will not spare him.

If you have to find someone to be responsible for it, it's Lady Rong.

How could that be?

My father once told me that Lady Rong was a very nice person.

They were a very loving couple.

Yes, that's the reason.

To save her loved one,

Lady Rong finally decided to use the forbidden technique.

That was an act against nature that ended up in a disaster.

The Yin Yang Book?

Its miraculous power can even save people with poison circulating in the heart.

-How about those with wilted meridians? -He…

-I've said this before. -He remembers it.

If that book really has such a miraculous effect,

why did the Healer Valley not use it to save lives?

Instead, they banned it as it's a forbidden technique.

It's claimed to be able to raise the dead and reverse yin and yang.

But it can only work by reviving one at the cost of the life of another.

If you want to fix someone's heart meridians,

you have to take the heart

from another living man.

Who knew that Rong Xuan

would grow more insane after that.

He accidentally killed his wife.

That's impossible!

Rong Xuan killed his own wife?

If Rong Xuan had not made such a big mistake

and lost his last shred of sanity

because of his remorse,

he wouldn't have completely gone mad

and chased by all heroes in the world.

How about Yue Feng'er's junior disciples?

Why didn't they stop them?

The Yin Yang Book is forbidden in the Healer Valley.

Since Lady Rong used it without permission,

she couldn't go back to the Healer Valley for the rest of her life.

So the Divine Hand couple went back to the Healer Valley

to look for the cure for her.

The key of the armory was then

brought back to the Healer Valley by the Zhen family.

Fate fools us all.

When Ruyu heard about the tragedy,

the battle on Mount Qingya was soon to come.

He went there, riding without stopping,

only to see…

MOUNT QINGYA

Who's there?

Come on!

-Bring it on! -Wait.

I'll kill you!

I'll kill you!

Rong Xuan!

-He… -Rong Xuan.

-No! -Rong Xuan!

Rong Xuan.

No.

Everyone.

-What are you doing? -Why are you protecting him? Go!

I'm Zhen Ruyu from the Healer Valley.

We may be somewhat related.

Healer Valley has saved lives for decades.

I believe we've done a lot of good deeds.

Your family and friends

have more or less received favors from Healer Valley and me.

So today, considering all that,

please listen to me this one time.

We'd better settle conflicts than make enemies.

Rong Xuan went mad for a reason that cannot be revealed.

It's not in his nature.

Don't talk big!

-Yes! Why should we believe you? -Yes.

-Please be quiet, everyone. -Why should we believe you?

The wrong has been done.

What good would come from endless revenge?

I'm willing to spend the rest of my life

to make up for Rong Xuan's sin.

If he killed anyone from any sect,

I will pay back by saving hundreds of people!

I will take Rong Xuan back to the Healer Valley to cure him

and won't let him cause any more trouble.

-This… -What's happening?

During the battle in Mount Qingya,

they hunted down Rong Xuan

in the name of hunting the demon.

But actually, they probably did it for the key to the armory.

Since they got nothing after the death of Master Rong,

they went after Master Zhen

even if they had to confront the Healer Valley.

They thought he would surrender because of that.

In the dilemma of protecting his family and being righteous,

Zhen Ruyu would rather die

than give away the secret of the armory.

These so-called righteous clans in the world of martial arts

said that good and evil were at daggers drawn

and forced the then valley chief to place righteousness above family loyalty.

But they were actually threatening the Zhen family

by using the Healer Valley.

Rumor has it

that the second disciple couple of the Healer Valley degenerated

and colluded with bandits.

That was why the old valley chief took away their martial arts

and kicked them out of the sect.

The old valley chief passed away soon after.

From then on, the far-famed Healer Valley has fallen into decline.

So that explains it.

"Degenerated"?

Divine Hand Zhen Ruyu dedicated his whole life to saving people.

Thousands of people survived thanks to him.

No one in this world

dares to claim to be

nobler than Zhen Ruyu.

It's exactly because of his nobility and kindness

that he's incompatible with this filthy world.

When this news reached Longyuan Cabinet,

Lady Zhen had disappeared

with her wounded husband and her child.

Then Mr. Long,

there is a rumor saying that

the Longyuan Cabinet could open the armory in another way.

You spread the rumor, didn't you?

You were afraid that they wouldn't give up

and kept targeting the Zhen family,

so you took all the trouble to do that.

You gave up the promising future of the Longyan Cabinet

and moved here.

You are suffering now from this as well.

The situation didn't get worse but it changed nothing!

This was the best way I could think of.

Other than this,

I could do nothing for them.

I haven't heard from them ever again.

I used a lot of methods to find them but failed eventually.

I wish for nothing else but them safely hidden somewhere

and lived a peaceful life

without getting involved in all those chaos and turmoil.

Mr. Long,

for your friends,

you have sacrificed

so much.

Your faithfulness to your friends could be compared

to the saints, Zuo Botao and Yang Jiao'ai,

who are known for their loyalty to each other.

Having a friend like you in life,

one can have no regrets even in

the dwelling place of the dead.

Master Ye,

I didn't hide the truth from you intentionally.

It's just that I'm not sure where the key is.

Although I promised Rong Xuan

to send back the key to the armory,

I was strong in will but weak in power.

Please forgive me, Master Ye.

There's no need to apologize.

Rong Xuan was an idiot, so are you!

Armory?

Key?

Secret book?

Do you think I really care about those?

Master Ye, you are incredible in martial arts,

so the armory means nothing to you.

However, this is just

a feeling of regret in Rong Xuan's heart.

Long Que,

you are a good person.

It's Rong Xuan who dragged you down.

Tell me your wish.

I will fulfill it for you.

I have nothing to wish for now.

I owe many people many things.

Only death can pay.

Master Ye.

I have a question.

Rong Xuan was so gifted and you were his master.

And you are so adept at the Combined Six Cultivation Power,

but why didn't you teach him?

It was wrong

for Rong Xuan to steal the secret book and leave,

but it's understandable.

Considering the fact that Rong Xuan was obsessed with martial arts.

No martial artists

could resist the temptation of the unity of man and nature.

Nature and man in one.

It won't help escape from fate.

On top of Mount Changming,

it was so cold and lonely.

In order to please him,

I taught him all the martial arts without reservation

except the Combined Six Cultivation Method.

Because of this, that brat argued with me a few times.

In the end, he stole the secret book and went off the mountain.

"Combined Six Cultivation Method of the Broken Sky and the Earth Split."

The name of this wicked martial art

has given a hint of warning

for the successors.

If it were anything good,

I wouldn't have hidden it from him.

It's all our fault.

Both his father and I pampered him too much.

This little brat

might think it wasn't a big deal

and planned to come back after a few years

when we were no longer angry.

In the first several years,

we bore the same thought.

Who knows…

"If it were anything good,

I wouldn't have hidden it from him."

Not just this Combined Six Cultivation Method,

even if all the secret books of all ages were placed before me,

I wouldn't…

Never mind. Forget about it.

I only regret that I hesitated

and didn't tear up that secret book.

Master Ye!
