Original subtitles

It's Nine Clawed Fox, Fang Buzhi.

So this is the guy who stole Wen Kexing's Glazed Armor.

No wonder.

He died so quickly

after catching that hot potato.

It's nobody's fault but his own.

Plums that grow by the roadside with nobody picking them

must be bitter.

Zhou Xu, you're not the only one who understands it.

WORSHIP OF MARTIAL SPIRIT

What a poisonous hidden weapon.

Who knew that such a small needle

could kill people instantly?

Who in the Ghost Valley

is good at using these hidden weapons?

Piercing Rain Needles?

Only the Window of Heaven has this weapon.

Han Ying moves fast indeed.

So Wen Kexing's Glazed Armor that was stolen by Fang Buzhi

must be with the Window of Heaven now.

Wen Kexing.

It looks like the Five Lakes Alliance is busy today.

Let's not disturb them any longer.

-Sir-- -My friend is right.

Since the Five Lakes Alliance is busy today,

we won't disturb you any longer.

We'll leave for now.

Zhao Jing, please walk them out.

No need.

There are more important things at stake.

My apologies then.

The Heroes Conference is just around the corner.

I hope to see both of you there.

Of course.

I will definitely come

to Chief Gao's Heroes Conference.

See you next time.

CALLIGRAPHY AND PAINTINGS

Cao Weining.

This one is good.

All right.

You should eat. Have some more.

Why aren't you eating?

What? Do you dislike the food I gave you?

Of course not!

I wouldn't dare. It's an honor.

I'll eat it right now.

IMMEASURABLE TREASURES

Hey.

How old are you exactly?

You still have baby fat? That's so cute!

What?

I'm not flirting with you.

I'm giving you a warning.

Do you know

that there's Ghoul in the Ten Devils of the Ghost Valley

that especially eats the faces of handsome young boys like you?

Especially those with baby fat.

Be careful!

A human eating a human?

Is that something a person would do?

Of course not.

That's why they're called devils.

Those crazy devils!

We should kill all of them

so that I can live up to my sect's mission of defeating evils and protecting justice.

But I heard

the devils are very strong.

Don't fail at killing them

and get yourself killed instead.

I won't.

This time, the Five Lakes Alliance is hosting

and all the heroes in the world are gathered here.

We will definitely destroy the Ghost Valley.

Really?

But I heard that the Ghost Valley

only came into Yueyang City the day before yesterday

and left ten human heads in public as a power move.

If the Five Lakes Alliance is really that strong,

how would they dare

make trouble under their nose?

Ms. Gu, don't worry.

I will protect you.

As long as I'm here, nothing will happen to you.

I'm not scared.

Thank you for letting me stay with the Yueyang Sect.

I feel much safer.

Let's eat.

Ms. Gu.

You said that this Ghoul

especially eats the faces of handsome young boys.

Ms. Gu.

Does that mean

that you think

I'm handsome?

What?

What are you talking about?

You said that I--

It's nothing. I--

By the way,

I have something to tell you.

They found Fang Buzhi,

but only his body and the stolen goods.

The Yueyang Sect already put up a notice of the stolen goods.

Who would have expected that?

Isn't that the girl who was performing last time?

I'm going to take a look.

Wait, Ms. Gu!

Xiang--

Miss, would you like to hear a song?

Someone is here with me, so now is not a good time.

Ask around first.

When I ask you to sing,

that means I have finished my mission.

Tell me where to find Master after that.

-All right. -All right.

Did I get the wrong person?

You're much prettier than the girl last time.

You can continue.

I've got the wrong person.

GOOD LUCK INN

Why is the Window of Heaven involved with the Glazed Armor?

Does Prince Jin want the armory too?

I wonder why Gao Chong

hid Chengling away.

Here, come in.

Put it here.

Zhou Xu, I ordered a lot of tasty dishes.

The chef at this inn is good at cooking.

I've started to lose my senses.

What are you staring at?

As the saying goes,

"As long as there's wine, we will drink today."

Life is nothing but three meals and sleep.

As long as you can have a meal with someone you like,

other matters

can wait.

You finally said something sensible.

Sit. Eat while it's hot.

Good wine!

Zhou Xu, what are you thinking about?

All right.

What can't you tell me?

Are you still worried about Chengling?

I'm wondering whether it was a mistake

to bring Chengling back to the Five Lakes Alliance.

Zhou Xu, you're so terrible.

You have such a handsome face

and a kind and innocent heart.

The girls in the world

are all going to go crazy for you.

If I keep staying with you,

will anyone even like me anymore?

Do you really want

to save him all the way and accept him

as a disciple to protect him forever?

Nothing lasts forever.

When I was little,

I had a dog.

It was a gift from someone very important.

My mother didn't want me to raise it.

She said that dogs are only loyal to one person for life.

If I wanted to keep it,

I would have to raise it for the rest of my life.

How would an eight-year-old child

understand what a lifetime meant?

So of course, I agreed.

And then?

Then…

Then I betrayed it.

Not everything will go your way.

But you must not have regrets.

What? That hurts.

Speaking of the dog,

don't you think that example is quite mean?

Here, drink.

Good wine.

Eat up.

GOOD LUCK INN

Zhou Xu.

Why are you still sleeping?

Get up!

Go to Yuefan Tower with me.

It's almost noon.

Time to get up.

They all say that Yuefan Tower is the best place to view Yueyang City.

Get up.

-Get out. -Let's go.

Let's go!

-Let's go. -Don't touch me!

Let's go!

If you keep nagging, I'm going to kill you!

Let's go!

You can spend your day sadly or spend it happily.

If the flowers bloomed, pluck them. Why do this to yourself?

Get up.

No!

YUEFAN TOWER

The Four Sages of Anji.

Who are they?

They're a breath of fresh air in the martial arts world.

The Four Sages of Anji

are all masters of music,

but they come from different backgrounds.

They became soul mates

of common interest

and left the martial arts world together

to quietly live in a beautiful bamboo forest in Anji.

They haven't come out for over ten years.

No wonder they can produce such heavenly music.

Of the Four Sages, two of them are a couple

that used to be disciples of the same clan.

Another one

is a scholar without any martial arts,

but he is good at playing the zither.

The last one

is Lonely Thief Master, He Yifan.

Although he was in the gutter,

he always looked up at the stars.

His three friends guided him

to give up evil for good

and live in the forest.

That's how they became soul mates like Yu Boya and Zhong Ziqi

from the tale of "High Mountains and Flowing Water."

"High Mountains and Flowing Water."

Soul mates like that are hard to find.

The world is not important.

What's important is finding a soul mate.

If it wasn't for the fact that I don't have much time left,

wouldn't it be great

to find a soul mate to roam the martial arts world

and spend the rest of my life with,

like the Four Sages of Anji?

Why am I being pessimistic?

Living like this for two or three years

is better than wasting an entire lifetime.

Can you do it or not?

I can.

He's already grown up, but he still practices basic moves with us.

What's funny is that he's not even as good as us!

Shut up.

The Mirror Lake Sword Sect

has its own style.

They don't care about the basics.

What do you guys know?

Isn't that right,

Young Master Zhang?

Why did you hit me?

I'm not hitting you.

I'm testing you.

They say that the Mirror Lake Sword Sect's anti-gravity skill is unique.

I wanted to experience your skills,

but who knew?

Your Upwards Toad move is truly special.

Just leave.

How would Young Master Zhang like our boring and basic moves?

Let's not make him late for lunch.

WORSHIP OF LITERATURE

CHONGWU PALACE

-Hi. -I'm sorry.

Don't you watch where you're going?

Gu Xiang!

Are you happy to see me?

You're tall enough for me to pat your head now!

Don't cry, Hero Gold Bean.

Why are you still crying?

Don't cry.

I thought I would never see you again.

I thought Master didn't want me anymore.

"Master"?

Mr. Zhou.

Zhou Xu?

All right.

He hasn't actually accepted me as his disciple yet.

But Mr. Wen told me

that Mr. Zhou is softhearted and he will accept me

if I keep pestering him and calling him "Master."

Did he also say

"Even tough women cannot resist clingy men"?

That's right. How did you know?

Seriously? He never teaches you anything good.

Gu Xiang, since you're here,

does that mean Master and Mr. Wen are here too?

Where are they?

They didn't come.

All right.

Yueyang Sect is heavily guarded and not everyone can enter.

They especially sent me to take care of you.

Gu Xiang, you all are so kind to me.

Then how did you get in?

This is the inner courtyard.

Gu Xiang, did you sneak in?

Of course not.

I was invited.

It's almost time for the Heroes Conference.

More and more people from various backgrounds

are in the city now.

Zhou Xu.

Those boys who dressed like virgins visiting a brothel for the first time,

which sect are they from?

Mount Hua Sect.

They've always cared about the neatness of their garments.

Messy clothes are against sect rules.

Now I see where Gu Xiang learned all those mean words.

Zhou Xu, then what about those two who are glaring over there?

Iron Fist Clan.

The Iron Fist Clan rules over Jingxiang.

Two tigers can't rule the same mountain.

They don't get along with the Yueyang Sect.

Zhou Xu.

How do you know so much about every sect and its rules?

Can you tell which sect I'm from?

Your martial arts are complex and constantly changing.

Unless your master knows skills from every sect,

you must have more than one master.

Wen Kexing.

Can you change your habit of making me guess?

Just tell me what you want to tell me.

Stop making me guess.

The Heroes Conference,

where heroes gather to praise heroes.

These people sure know how to compliment themselves.

Do these plebs think they deserve to be called heroes?

Zhou Xu.

How many actual heroes

do you think there are in the martial arts world?

Only inexperienced people

yearn to be heroes.

Then what about the experienced?

The experienced know

that each character

of the word "hero" is written in blood.

If it's not their own blood,

then it's others'.

I've passed the age of wanting to be a hero.

Now, I'm just a wanderer in this world.

I can't say.

Wen Kexing.

Do you want to be a hero

or a wanderer?

There are too many people who want to be heroes.

I like watching the show, but not being part of the show.

Let the heroes go and gather.

As a wanderer in this world,

all I need is you.

Zhou Xu!

Where are you going?

Why are you going this way?

Zhou Xu.

I bought wine for you.

Again?

Didn't you say you couldn't fall asleep after 1 a.m.?

Since you can't fall asleep anyway,

why not go to the roof with me to drink and appreciate the moon?

I'm telling you.

The moon looks beautiful tonight.

Appreciate the moon with great wine!

One should enjoy life when things are going well.

Live up to the glorious moon and the wine.

CHENG LIQUOR STORE

You're here?

Zhou Xu.

Do you know?

I'm really happy.

Why don't you ask me

why I'm happy?

You'll tell me why

when you want to.

If you don't want to,

then why would I ask?

Such a beautiful night

and there had to be a death match.

What a way to ruin the mood!

This isn't the only death match

in Yueyang City tonight.

XIANGMING HALL

The scent of flowers fills Yueyang.

The Glazed Armor is everywhere in the city.

I'm happy

because the show

has finally begun.

Wen Kexing,

what are you trying to say?

You can't describe a good show.

Come on. Let's go and see it.

YUETIAN HALL

No wonder it has gotten quiet.

They put on a "perish together" act.

Wonderful.

Cyclops Jiang Che.

Furious Blade Master Li Heng.

Both of them are somewhat famous.

Why did they die in such a funny way?

This is why

everyone in the world comes for profit

and everyone leaves also for profit.

When will these idiots understand

that they need to at least be alive

to take advantage of something?

This is the piece

Fang Buzhi stole from you.

It looks like it.

"It looks like it"?

Zhou Xu, you're very smart.

Think about it.

Why do these two pieces of Glazed Armor

look exactly the same?

HARMONIOUS AND PROSPEROUS

Zhou Xu,

don't you think this is all very funny?

Zhou Xu!

Wait for me. What's wrong?

Wen Kexing. You ask me what is wrong?

Don't you think it's wrong?

Why would it be wrong?

These people were all going to get themselves killed anyway.

I just added fuel to the fire.

Wen Kexing.

I used to think that you were pretending to be crazy and dumb.

I didn't realize

that you're actually crazy.

REACHING THE CLOUDS PAVILION

HARMONIOUS AND PROSPEROUS

YUEYANG SECT

You.

Go away.

You're bringing misfortune this early in the morning.

We're giving out porridge in two hours.

It's me.

Hurry up.

Hurry up and tell Master.

Deng Kuan?

I need to tell Master quickly.

Someone, help!

Deng Kuan!

Zhou Xu, time to get up.

All right, don't be mad anymore.

It's not even a big deal.

Zhou Xu.

Zhou Xu?

Zhou Xu?

Seriously?

This one is fake?

Yes.

Three pieces of the Glazed Armor have appeared.

Last night, it changed hands

multiple times in one night.

There was a bloody fight every time.

That's right.

The Heroes Conference is about to begin,

but now that the Glazed Armor is everywhere,

it's creating chaos.

This is extremely humiliating for the Five Lakes Alliance.

Don't worry, Gao Chong.

We will kill anyone, whether he's a human or a ghost,

who dares to make trouble during the conference.

Isn't that right, Zhao Jing?

Yes.

Deng Kuan.

Please wake up soon, all right?

I'm really worried about you.

There are so many matters

to handle for the sect,

and you are my father's best assistant.

Without you here,

my father's hair has turned grayer.

Answer me, Deng Kuan.

YUE

-Unlock the door. -Yes.

Eat.

Hurry up and eat.

Gao Shan, what are you doing?

-Stop it. -Don't hold me back!

They're just two idiots who won't feel pain!

Who cares? Beating them helps me vent!

We've tried everything, but they wouldn't say anything.

-Beating them is useless. -That's right.

They look pitiful and they must have been tricked.

Shit! Are you pitying them?

Why don't you pity Wei and Deng Kuan?

He's still in a coma!

-Gao Shan-- -Gao Shan!

Why didn't you go to Renyi Hall?

-What happened? -Something's wrong.

We sent everyone that we could.

Masters and the others are there too.

RENYI HALL

UTMOST KINDNESS

Four Sages of Anji!

You haven't done anything terrible,

and we don't want to create trouble!

Hurry up and give us the Glazed Armor!

My dear, why don't we give the Glazed Armor to them?

We must keep our word.

My dear!

Give--

give it

to Hero Gao.

My dear!

My dear!

-My brother! -My brother!

The Glazed Armor belongs to no one!

Why should we give it to the Beggar Gangs?

Don't you claim to be the biggest gang in the world?

Are you trying

to forcefully steal this?

What a joke!

If we used force,

would you still be alive right now?

The World's Armory

has the secret arts from all sects and clans,

including that of the Beggar Gangs.

It is completely reasonable for us to take back the Glazed Armor.

Madam Pei,

this is for your own good.

Look at our other friends here.

They're not as reasonable as the Beggar Gangs.

Elder Huang, what do you mean?

-What? -The Four Sages of Anji are right.

The Glazed Armor belongs to no one. The strong control it.

If the Beggar Gangs have the right to fight for it,

does the Mount Hua Sect not?

What does this have to do with you?

Is it even your turn?

Stinky beggar.

Have you turned stupid from kowtowing for food?

The Glazed Armor was last seen with that old man, Ao Laizi.

Everyone knows that Ghost Valley

killed him.

Now, it's with the "Four Idiots of Anji."

That means they're the Ghost Valley's dogs!

You damned midget!

This is no place for you to speak!

Yifan!

-Yifan! -Yifan!

-Yifan! -Yifan!

Feng Xiaofeng, you vicious bastard!

Give us the antidote!

Then give me the Glazed Armor!

Do you have any dignity?

It's all right for the Beggar Gangs, Mount Hua Sect, and Kongtong Sects

to fight for the Glazed Armor.

After all, their secret records are in the armory.

Which hole did you midget jump out of?

Twenty years ago, you weren't even in the martial arts world.

Scram! Scram far away!

You disgust me!

Gao Shannu, beat her!

Enough!

Elder Huang.

The Beggar Gangs have always been on good terms with the Five Lakes Alliance.

But you and your disciples keep causing trouble

in the city!

Are you disregarding the Five Lakes Alliance?

Chief Gao, I should be the one asking you that!

The Five Lakes Alliance has become arrogant and unbearable recently,

but I let it go for your sake.

Now you brought so many people to attack us?

Is the Five Lakes Alliance acting this overbearing

because you think you have no equal in the martial arts world?

Elder Huang.

It's not your place to represent the martial arts world, is it?

-Mount Hua Sect only follows -You--

Chief Gao's lead!

-You-- -You ass-kisser!

The reputation of the Five Mounts and Sword Sects

is ruined because of you!

Elder Huang.

You are so close with Tao Hong and Lu Liu.

You are the one that humiliated the Beggar Gangs!

It's better than the Five Lakes Alliance

that has no dignity, to begin with!

Madam Tao Hong.

Don't think you can gossip as you wish

just because you are a woman.

I can't cut off your tongue,

but I can cut off your neck!

How dare you!

What are you doing?

Shen Shen!

How dare you say that?

And you pride yourself as someone from a proper and famous sect!

Killing devils and maintaining justice is the duty of a proper sect!

Chief Gao, you are indeed bold!

How many worms did you spill

from this old clay pot?

This is disgusting.

I'm not fighting you all anymore!

Feng Xiaofeng! Don't you leave!

Leave the antidote!

Shen Shen, stop him!

Follow me!

Madam Pei,

this is Master Gao.

The Four Sages of Anji are my honored guests.

I'll wait and see

who dares to trouble you!

UTMOST KINDNESS

Madam Pei!

The Glazed Armor!

Stop! Don't kill him!

UTMOST KINDNESS, RENYI HALL

We've lived in seclusion for 15 years and forgotten all of our worries.

Fifteen years of accompaniment

was destroyed in one instant

because of this thing!

Master Du, you--

Chief Gao.

The four of us retreated from the world long ago

and only wanted to spend the rest of our lives in the forest.

We only came out

to take part in the Heroes Conference

because of you.

But I never expected that

the loyal friendship between you and me

would cause us to die in Yueyang City.

Gao Chong.

Master Pei stole the Glazed Armor for you.

Was it worth it?

Was it?

Master Du,

I apologize!

But Master Du, please rest assured.

I will definitely

avenge you and the others!

What is the point of keeping you

if I have no soul mates left?

Master Du!

No!

Chief Gao.

Every debt has a debtor.

The Four Sages of Anji either directly

or indirectly died because of Feng Xiaofeng.

This is not related to the Beggar Gangs.

He was tricked and poisoned.

Tao Hong and Lu Liu acted out of self-defense.

The Beggar Gangs and the Five Lakes Alliance

don't need to ruin our relationship over this small incident--

Elder Huang!

Don't you want the Glazed Armor?

Take it!

Is one piece enough?

I'll give you another!

Everyone!

On the 15th of the 7th month,

after the Heroes Conference,

I will clearly explain

everything about the Glazed Armor to all of you!

Elder Huang.

The two of us

must settle our matters

after the conference!

RENYI HALL
