[Word of Honor]

[Episode 15]

Eldest Senior, tomorrow is the Heroes Conference.

Dad said

he will announce

Brother Cheng Ling and my marriage at the Conference.

I can't disobey my Father's orders.

If one day you wake up,

will you blame me?

Who is it?

Oh, it's you, Xiang.

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 Xiang.

You should be more careful.

This close,

I can surely freeze her with the Unfaithful Nail

Sister Qian Qiao gave me.

It does feel a bit hot.

Don't go. Don't go.

Okay, let me check your pulse.

Gu Xiang, Gu Xiang.

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

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

Xiang! Xiang!

Xiang!

Xiang!

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

What's wrong?

How did you get sick all of a sudden?

Sister Xiao Lian, is it serious?

Not particularly.

I'll fetch her some medicine.

Xiang.

Go away, go away. Don't touch me.

What are you doing, Cao Wei Ning?

I...

I wasn't doing anything.

I bought you some snacks.

Holy crap, he's so clingy.

Why did he have to choose

this moment to barge in?

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 spare no effort to comply, even at the expense of our own life.

Very well.

Mount Tai Sect's only request

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

Punish the murderer!

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 Brother Ao Lai Zi!

You are messing around!

He killed my master!

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

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

So you saw neither, did you?

Everyone knows

that Senior Ao Lai Zi was killed by the Ghost Valley.

Many friends and families

of the martial arts world

have been murdered by the Ghost Valley.

The reason I arranged the Heroes Conference here

is to avenge the dead!

But everyone, you must remember,

do not fall for the instigation of others!

Do not 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 the Ghost Valley!

The lost Glazed Armor of Senior Ao Lai Zi

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 the Ghost Valley, restore peace of the martial arts world!

Crusade against the Ghost Valley, restore peace of the martial arts world!

Crusade against the Ghost Valley, restore peace of the martial arts world!

That Gao is quite eloquent.

Crusade against the Ghost Valley, restore peace of the martial arts world!

Crusade against the Ghost Valley, restore peace of the martial arts world!

Crusade against the Ghost Valley, restore peace of the martial arts world!

[Five Lakes Alliance]

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 join 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!

[Leader of the Eagle Claw Clan] Chief Gao!

I lost an eye on Mount Qingya,

and a son!

I paid such a high price,

yet did not garner the lost secrets of my Eagle Claw Clan.

Isn't it at least enough to ask the Five Lakes Alliance for the truth?

Chief Gao! Give us an explanation!

Give us an explanation!

Explain yourself!

Hurry up, explain yourself!

Give us an explanation!

Friend.

Where are you going?

It's you?

Scorpion?

Fine. I shall tell you the truth today.

The Glazed Armor is in the possession of the Five Lakes Alliance.

Big Brother!

The Five Lakes Alliance did everything

for nothing more than the peace of the world,

the tranquility of the martial arts world!

It's because the martial arts world has suffered heavily

after the Battle of Mount Qingya

and can't withstand even bigger calamity,

that 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's your only choice!

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

What right does the Five Lakes Alliance have

to keep the heroes of the world in the dark?

Chief Gao!

Everyone of us contributed to defeating Rong Xuan!

[Leader of the Funiu Sect] How could you keep the Glazed Armor in secret?

What right do you have?

Hand over the Glazed Armor!

We will redistribute it!

Hand over the Glazed Armor! Redistribute it!

Hand over the Glazed Armor at once!

Dear heroes, please listen to what I have to say!

Years ago, the Glazed Armor caused great blood-shed

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 throughout the martial arts 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 your Five Lakes Alliance, weren't they?

Tell me, 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?

You keep slandering Chief Gao!

What is your purpose?

What do you mean?

[Disciple of the Twelve Chain Cove] Did Five Lakes Alliance make fake Glazed Armor?

How vicious!

Feng Xiao Feng! You're full of nonsense!

Feng Xiao Feng, shut your mouth!

If you dare spread any more rumors,

I will kill you!

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

Come the hell down.

Ah Xu.

Just say come down,

you don't need to be so rude.

As if I would dare to disobey you.

Ah Xu, it's good you came.

Drink.

Where did you run off to?

I saw Pretty Arhat just now.

With Scorpion involved in this whole matter,

nothing good will come of it.

Things are bad

wether Scorpion is involved or not.

As long as the fire doesn't reach our Cheng Ling,

what does it matter to us?

I was thinking about

how Scorpion abducted Cheng Ling back then.

There's something strange about it.

Wasn't that for the Glazed Armor?

Ah 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 brilliant performance.

Soon he will rise up high,

soon he will feast on his guests,

soon his rostrum will collapse.

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

And the Scorpion.

From beginning to end,

in this fight for the Glazed Armor,

the shadow of the Scorpion has always been there.

What role does the Scorpion play in this?

When you know where to stop, you have stability.

When you have stability, you can be tranquil.

Father.

Everything you 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 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.

Lao Wen.

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 those self-conceited,

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 himself innocent?

But Ah 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 get back their secret records that are lost!

Then we shall fight against the Ghost Valley!

Wouldn't that be perfect?

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,

I couldn't open the gate to the Armory!

Enough!

Stop telling us one lie after another!

We've heard enough!

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, take this woman away!

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]

So strange. How come all the people here are gone?

Where did the doctor and pharmacist go?

Miss Gao, come with me!

You go first, I'll stop them!

As if you could!

Brother Cao!

You old witch! How dare you hurt him!

Watch out!

Brother Cao! Brother Cao!

Wei Ning!

Brother Cao!

Don't die!

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

Oh 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.

Are you really going to waste the lifesaver I gave you like this?

Aunt Luo?

[Young Leader of the Longyuan Cabinet, Long Xiao]

Who is this person?

He is...

Didn't you see the carriage's mechanism?

That must be the legendary Leader 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 Longyuan Cabinet can open the Armory.

Open the Armory?

Leader 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 Leader 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, Ban Zhu Ge,

Long Que.

The demon Rong Xuan relied on clever means

to steal countless secret records of martial arts

of various sects.

He knew he has 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 Leader 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?

Yeah, can you open the Armory?

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? Then stop wasting our time!

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 Leader Long.

The Armory is the Armory of the people!

No one can embezzle it!

That's right!

Well said!

The Armory is the Armory of the people!

That's right!

I knew you wanted to make the Armory your own!

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?

Please, don't believe him!

My brother has never harassed the Longyuan Cabinet!

Gao, haven't you played us enough?

Your witness already told us the truth!

How much longer do you still want to deny it?

Quickly hand over the Glazed Armor!

Hand over the Glazed Armor!

Hurry up and hand over the Glazed Armor!

Brother, 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 Xuan De?

How did such a weak and stupid fool

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

Shen Shen is not an idiot.

Your apprentice’s dad and Lu Tai Chong

are not much better.

What a Five Lakes Alliance.

Lao Wen, 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.

Ah Xu, don't speak.

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

and respond to this scheme.

Quiet down!

Everyone, quiet down!

There may be some misunderstanding

between Young Leader Long's father and me.

But I can promise you this,

I do not hold any selfish motives regarding the Armory!

Misunderstanding my ass!

Don't confuse the crowd anymore! Hand over the Glazed Armor!

Hurry up and hand over the Glazed Armor!

I swear to Heaven!

Once the Ghost Valley is wiped out,

Young Leader Long and I

will distribute the secrets of the Armory among all sects!

If I am insincere,

I shall be cut in thousands of pieces!

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

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

You may go to rest now.

Yes!

Get up.

Get up!

Cheng Ling.

Don't be afraid.

Come.

Uncle Gao.

There's one more thing I have to tell everyone.

This is Zhang Cheng Ling, son of my fourth brother, Zhang Yu Sen.

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.

Big Brother, 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?

Ah 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.

Ah Xu, why do you insist on contradicting me?

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

He must be using Cheng Ling

for some trick of his!

Gao Chong announced this in public.

There is no return for him.

Cheng Ling has handed over the Glazed Armor.

What'd be his value for Gao Chong?

Everyone, please look.

[Token of Honor] What is this?

This is the Token of Honor!

What? What is the Token of Honor?

This is the token of the Sword Immortal of Mount Changming.

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!

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!

To destroy Ghost Valley,

to avenge the deceased brothers,

to return peace to the martial arts world!

Our Five Lakes Alliance and the Ghost Valley cannot 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 the 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 the 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!

Chevalier Gao.

You really know how to fool people.

Chief Gao.

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

Today I, Fan Huai Kong, entrust my life to you.

I shall follow your orders.

Thank you.

Chief Gao!

My Jujing Gang looks forward to your leadership.

Chief Gao put it very well!

I and my men swear to follow Chief Gao!

My Water Transport Gang will also follow you!

Chief Gao, I didn't listen clearly.

I wish to confirm something with you.

You said that after the 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'll 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 Chevalier 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 mentor!

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?

Leader of our Feisha Gang is a close friend to the Healer Valley.

This Yin Yang Book should be managed by 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 Leader 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...!

Brother Feng 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!

Your idea my ass!

You...!

Leader, are you guys of the Cove even literate?

Even if you get the book,

can you read it?

Everyone, our Funiu Sect has a long history

and long heritage!

This Yin Yang Book should be ours!

Fight.

Lao Wen, 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 fight.

Cowards.

Lao Wen.

Do you hate the Five Lakes Alliance

or the whole martial arts world?

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

Ah Xu.

Whether you believe me or not,

I have never lied to you.

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,

and 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.

Alright.

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 is the point of watching over them?

Senior, you're awake!

Great!

[Yue]

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

Rewarding the evil and punishing the good, such is the impermanence of nature.

What? Is it my turn?

Everything shall be done in accordance with Master's arrangement.

The Ghost Valley came just right.

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 Lai Zi.

Weren't all that 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 the Ghost Valley?

Do you think my Ghost Valley

will let you do whatever you want?

Who are you?

Stop slandering me!

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

Kuan?

Isn't Yueyang Sect's first disciple Deng Kuan dead?

Enough, Master.

Kuan!

Everyone.

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, 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 the 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!

Senior!

Senior!

Senior!

Senior!

You can't believe him!

This kid is crazy!

Kuan!

Who wants me to be dead

by controlling you?

Changing Ghost, oh 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.
