[The Blood of Youth]

[Episode 4]

Any news of that person?

No.

It was chaotic last night.

As we were pursuing them, we even clashed with several groups of scouts.

We ended up...

He deliberately leaked his whereabouts to lure us out

and find our camp by following the clues he found.

After that, he caused chaos by surprise and escaped.

Then he used us to help him get rid of those following him.

This Wu Xin... sure came up with a great plot.

Unless we can get a sword deity to make a move,

it'll be difficult to find him again.

Young Master, should we ask...

We don't need to alert my father about something small like this.

Besides, I can guess

where he's heading.

[Stirring Inn]

Anyone here?

Is there anyone around?

Are you still going to deny that we're lost?

This is clearly an inn in Beili.

We went the opposite way.

We may have taken the wrong road. But the direction is right.

We were heading in the west direction. So how can we get lost?

What's this?

Master?

[The Sixth Prince, Xiao Chuhe, shall be removed from the family registry and demoted to commoner.]

[He shall leave the capital city immediately and not return unless summoned.]

Look how heavily at it rains! How strange it is.

Who's there?

Who are you?

Someone who's here to kill you.

I heard you've already reached the Carefree Phase at a young age.

It looks to be true.

It's a pity if you have to die like this.

Xiao Se.

This place is too dilapidated. We can't stay here at all.

It'll be dark soon.

Why don't we spend the night here after cleaning this place up a bit?

Didn't you just tell me we should get back on the road

because it's not normal for an inn to appear out of a sudden?

I've changed my mind.

Xiao Se, what do you think?

I'm fine with it.

I knew you weren't asleep.

The mark was left by the martial artist the Great Sage, right?

You're his disciple?

You could say that.

No wonder you know so many things about the martial arts world.

Old Wang You once told me

that the Great Sage had a disciple by the last name Xiao.

You should mind your own business.

I should say the same to you.

Boss Xiao, remember to come back before the day breaks.

You really hold a grudge.

Master.

[Great Sage | Ji Ruofeng]

Are you heading to Xueyue City?

Yes.

Do you know the consequences if you enter Xueyue City?

I heard...

you are doing it for 500 silver taels.

Master, you're indeed worthy to be called the Great Sage.

You actually found out.

Is it all because of 500 silver taels?

Anything related to silver taels is important, after all.

All right, it's for 500 silver taels.

But it's not a small amount.

Can Xueyue City afford it?

They can't.

But I'm certain they'd be happy to help me claim the money.

Yes, they'd be happy indeed.

Not only they would, any major force in the Martial Arts World

would be happy to claim the 500 silver taels for you.

- However... - However,

I'm not the only person who can claim this money.

I know that.

You're the one with the least advantage.

We need to fight for some things.

If I don't try it, how will I know the outcome?

If you fail,

you'll die.

I've died once before already, haven't I?

Even the Sword Deity failed to kill me.

Stop probing.

I already know who crippled your martial arts

and seriously injured me that night.

Was it the Rage Sword Deity, Yan Zhantian?

Could it be the Lone Sword Deity, Luo Qingyang?

Stop guessing.

Since you've decided to let go,

stop trying to find out.

It's only 500 silver taels, isn't it?

If you compare it to life,

you should know

which one is more important.

It looks like you don't have faith in me.

Then who do you think can obtain the 500 silver taels?

Prince Bai, Xiao Chong?

Prince Chi, Xiao Yu?

I have faith in Prince Yong An, Xiao Chuhe,

not Xiao Se of the Snowfall Mountain Villa.

Are martial arts skills important to you?

You know that was not what I meant.

Just look at yourself.

What's wrong with me?

You are arrogant, thin-skinned, and boastful.

You show off your petty tricks, treat others ruthlessly, and are self-righteous.

These are the six shortcomings a monarch should avoid.

Master, it's your turn.

I'm passing it down to you.

My martial arts skills are crippled.

How is this Wuji Staff going to be useful to me?

It's going to be a rough journey to claim that 500 silver taels.

You can use it as a crutch.

Thank you, Master.

Master, there's one thing I still can't figure out.

I hope you can enlighten me.

What is it?

I want to go to Yushi.

Can you tell me the direction?

Are you lost?

Yes.

Master, this is not funny.

I thought you brought those two lads to seek death on purpose.

Seek death?

There's a city 30 li (9.32 miles) to the west.

What city?

Muliang City?

Did I hear that correctly?

I can't believe that we'd come here by accident.

Xiao Se, why don't you have any reaction at all?

What kind of reaction should I have?

There are four major cities in this world.

Tianqi of the North, Xueyue of the South,

Wushuang of the East, and Muliang of the West.

It's a city as famous as Xueyue City in the Martial Arts World.

I must go and visit it.

It's nothing but a deserted ghost city.

What's so special about it?

How can you say that?

Every martial artist knows there is this one person living in Muliang City.

And this is the person who made Muliang City one of the four most famous cities.

This person is one of the Five Sword Deities,

Luo Qingyang, the Lone Sword Deity!

The Lone Sword Deity,

Luo Qingyang.

Enough said.

How would he not know about rumors in the Martial Arts World?

It's said the Lone Sword Deity, Luo Qingyang,

lives alone in Muliang City to practice his swordsmanship.

For more than ten years, he has never left the city.

He claims he'll only leave the city after he masters the Nine-Song Sword Technique.

His situation is quite similar to Lei Hong of the Lei Clan.

Lei Hong, Luo Qingyang, and Zhao Yuzhen,

who has never left Mount Wangcheng since they were born.

These three people are considered the three homebodies in the Martial Arts World.

Wait, why are you...

But not many rumors in the Martial Arts World are true.

Lei Hong and Zhao Yuzhen at least have the support of the Lei Clan

and Mount Wangcheng respectively.

But there's only Luo Qingyang in Muliang City.

What has he been eating and drinking for the past ten years?

Does he really think his title makes him an immortal who doesn't eat or drink?

You have a point.

Rumors may be exaggerated.

But the title of Luo Qingyang as the Sword Deity is real.

Many people think Luo Qingyang's martial arts skills can rank first among the Five Sword Deities.

Lei Wujie.

Lei Wujie! What's wrong?

I mean, since we're already here,

why don't we go and take a look?

Shall we?

Master Wuchan, how long until we reach Nine Dragon Sect?

We're almost there.

Lian, it's sweet.

Here.

Why aren't you eating?

Let me feed you.

Senior Brother, we'll...

Xiao Se's face turned pale when I said I was going to Muliang City.

Wu Xin is the same too.

What did he mean by it's better not to cause trouble?

I only want to watch from afar.

It's not like I'm going to challenge the Lone Sword Deity.

They're making a big deal out of this.

Prince Chi sure is cautious.

He actually asked us to meet him at the Western Regions' border.

The situation in Beili is different from Nanjue's.

Their crown prince has not been decided yet.

Those princes who are eligible for the throne

have been growing their powers in the martial arts world in secret. [Fu Hengxing of Nanjue]

Other than Prince Chi, Xiao Yu, there's Prince Bai, Xiao Chong.

Behind Prince Bai, Xiao Chong,

is Yan Zhantian, the Rage Sword Deity.

What about Prince Chi?

Could the Sword Deity who supports him is...

Of course, it's Luo Qingyang, the Lone Sword Deity.

Who's there?

Was that thunder?

But it doesn't look like it's going to rain.

That's the direction Lei Wujie went.

Could it be he's engaging in a fight with someone?

This airhead could cause trouble from anything.

This place is quite secluded.

To my surprise, Lei Wujie would run into people who made him use his explosives.

They're on the move.

It looks like they're heading in the direction of Muliang City.

Muliang City.

Lone Sword Deity.

What?

Aren't you going to rescue him?

No.

What did you say?

That airhead won't die that easily.

He may have already escaped. He'll be back here soon.

You may say that. But they're heading toward Muliang City.

If they provoked the Lone Sword Deity...

Didn't he want to see the Lone Sword Deity?!

If he met him, it would be just as he wanted.

Are you troubled by something?

Ever since you came back last night, you've been a little off.

If you want to go, you can go alone.

That airhead was the one who wanted to help you. I never agreed to do so.

I can take this chance to split ways with you. It's better for me this way.

Are you scared?

You can go alone. Why do you want to take someone who doesn't know martial arts at all?

Isn't Lei Wujie your companion?

We only met by chance and became acquainted, that's all.

His life doesn't concern me.

I've been smart since I was a child.

I reached the Carefree Phase of Heaven when I was 13.

I was excited at the time and asked Old Wang You

if I was considered a prodigy of the generation.

After I pestered him relentlessly, he finally told me

there was also someone in Beili who reached the Carefree Phase of Heaven at 13.

At 17, he reached the Mental Phase of the Unknown.

He deserves the reputation of the greatest prodigy in the world.

He's the disciple of the Great Sage of the martial arts world,

the Sixth Prince of Beili, Xiao Chuhe.

Soon after that, the incident with Prince Langya happened.

Li Xinyue, one of the Four Guardians of Tianqi, died.

Her daughter, Li Hanyi, pointed her sword at the Emperor,

which shook the Martial Arts World.

It's said Xiao Chuhe kneeled in Tianqi City for three days and three nights

to plead mercy for Prince Langya.

Finally, he was implicated and demoted to a commoner.

At that time, I thought Xiao Chuhe may be from the imperial family.

But he's unexpectedly a righteous person.

It's someone worth making friends with.

At first, I thought you were Xiao Chuhe.

Stop pretending as if you know everything.

You like telling stories, right? I can tell you one too.

In the last battle of the Demon Sect's expedition in the east 12 years ago,

every major sect in Beili besieged the Grand Master of the Demon Sect, Ye Dingzhi.

Ye Dingzhi was defeated and died after he took his own life.

The funny thing was the person who betrayed Ye Dingzhi

was his best friend, Wang Rensun.

In my opinion, Ye Dingzhi claimed himself to be the greatest in the world.

But he eventually died because of his friend's betrayal. Utmost stupidity.

Why? Does that humiliate you?

Without using any martial arts skills, I'm going to teach you a lesson.

I'm warning you.

- Are you mad? - I'm going to rip your foul mouth!

Are you out of your mind?

You are arrogant, thin-skinned, and boastful.

You show off your petty tricks, treat others ruthlessly, and are self-righteous.

These are the six shortcomings a monarch should avoid.

I'm sorry.

Today, there's no Young Master of Tian Wai Tian

or Xiao Chuhe.

I'm only Wu Xin from Hanshui Temple.

No matter what, Lei Wujie came here because of me.

So I must go and bring him back.

And you are only Xiao Se of Snowfall Mountain Villa.

I have faith in Prince Yong An, Xiao Chuhe,

not Xiao Se of the Snowfall Mountain Villa.

I dare you to fight one on one. Do you call yourself great for outnumbering me?

Rascal, cut the crap. Who sent you here?

Just kill me if you want. If I blink, I'm not a hero!

- These people seem to be carrying Nanjue's long blade. - Untie me now!

- This man does look familiar. - We can fight until the day turns dark.

He's the Crown Prince of Nanjue's guard, Fu Hengxing.

There must be a special reason for him to show up here.

I think Wujie must have overheard their conversation by accident.

Why is Wu Xin not here yet?

Teach him a lesson.

You're not serious, are you? No!

Stop!

Xiao Se!

It's you?

I didn't expect you to remember me.

How could I forget?

The Crown Prince is still upset about losing a city to you

at the Qianjin Gambling House in Tianqi City back then.

That was the folly of youth.

Since you showed up here, I suppose you know quite a bit about our business.

How's my worthless brother doing now?

It looks like you know everything. That's why you brought him to stop us.

What a clever strategy.

It's not my clever strategy.

After all, nothing in Beili goes unnoticed by that person.

Are you here under orders?

I'm only here to deliver a message.

I hope you can go back and tell your crown prince that there are some things he can't meddle with.

I was almost tricked by you.

Why do you say so?

As far as I know,

you were banished from Tianqi City.

That information is right.

But matters in Tianqi City are more unfathomable than you imagined.

If you don't believe me, you can try.

All right. I'm willing to try.

Why aren't you fighting? Do you only know how to avoid my attacks?

I didn't expect the prodigy of the world in the past can't even hold his own weapon.

How tragic. Prepare to die!

Xiao Se!

Wu Xin.

Leave now.

Let's go.

When did you arrive?

It was when you started confronting that person.

Since you were already here, why didn't you make a move earlier?

I wanted to, but you were talking about the folly of youth.

I found it interesting, so I decided to watch it longer.

Then, can you untie me?

Xiao Se, you know that person?

I was listening to you two talking, but found it so confusing. I didn't completely understand.

From what he said, you used to be an official in Tianqi City.

But you were dismissed after that. Why?

You also mentioned your younger brother. What's going on?

Say something.

You obviously can kill those three. Why didn't you do it?

How can I take lives as I please?

If they find out they were tricked, they'll definitely come back for us. We should get out of here now.

You're right.

We should hit the road to Yushi Kingdom.

You didn't answer my questions yet.

Xiao Se, why?

[Great Fanyin Temple]

Ling Jun, where is he now?

Master, the scouts reported that he escaped from Belle Manor several days ago.

During his escape, he ran into the Western Regions' most vicious mounted bandits.

After that, he created chaos and is nowhere to be found now.

He should be on his way here.

But...

Keep talking.

He's not traveling alone.

Is Tang Lian with him too?

He was persuaded by him?

It's not Tang Lian. It's two young men.

One wears a red garment, while the other one is the owner of an inn.

But we're still not clear about their identities right now.

Master, how did you know he would come here?

He wants to see someone here.

Wu Xin.

If you don't have money to spend in the Kingdom of Yushi,

I can lend you some.

At most, you can pay me twice the amount in the future.

If you truly have no money, you can also pay with your secret martial arts.

But if you really don't know the direction,

I can't help you even if I want to.

If we knew the direction, we wouldn't have met you.

Mister, please buy one.

Stop looking. He's not a monk.

He can't show you the way to Great Fanyin Temple.

He sure can hold his liquor.

The pot of liquor he's drinking costs two or three silver taels at Snowfall Mountain Villa.

Two or three silver taels?

How many jars of plain liquor I can buy with that much money?

Found you.

[Wang Rensun, Shattering Blade]

An expert indeed.

Don't just stay here. Go after them.

You're right.

Abbot.

Abbot Falan, it has been more than ten years since we bade farewell in Tianqi City.

How have you been?

How dare you?

No matter. The Abbot is not being disrespectful.

He just can't speak.

Abbot, I'm here to seek a person.

I have a letter written by the Lord of Yushi.

Twelve years ago, the Grand Master of Demon Sect, Ye Dingzhi,

came to see your master, The Venerable One, to inquire about Heaven's will.

No matter how Ye Dingzhi threatened him with his sword,

The Venerable One only shook his head silently.

We'll put aside the Buddhist doctrine.

You surely have the demeanor of The Venerable One

when you shake your head silently.

Abbot, you've helped that person hide for 12 years.

This time,

you can't hide him anymore.

[Great Fanyin Temple]

Why aren't we on the move?

We're already here.

[Great Fanyin Temple]

What is all this noise?

Why are there so many people coming here today?

What are they doing here?

Kick them out!

Senior Brother, who's this person?

The Slumber Luohan Fist.

This isn't the Slumber Luohan Fist.

He's just drunk.

- Why did you come back here again? - Falan.

Great Fanyin Temple doesn't have any rules that forbid me from visiting him.

How competent can a drunkard be?

It's a pity to see the Precept Breaking Blade in your hand.

Senior Brother, stop shaking your head.

We can't avoid the inevitable.

Since we can't, we'll just kill them.

It's been 12 years since we last met,

Wang Rensun, the Shattering Blade.

Oh, so you're the effeminate

Eunuch Jade Deity, Incense Bearer.

Incense Bearer?

It's true that people will meet again after a farewell.

Oh, Wu Xin.

Why are there always experts wherever you go?

And they're always picking a fight.

Are these experts going to fight?

You know the Lei Clan is a well-known family in the Martial Arts World.

How did they produce an airhead like you?

- That's not how you pronounce it. - Airhead.

- No, it's not. - Airhead.

Since you're here,

you can get down from there.

Did they notice us?

Shut up.

Thank you for coming all the way to see me, Incense Bearer.

I feel honored.

- Incense Bearer. - Don't address me that way.

Only the one in the palace can address me as such.

Eunuch Jade Deity.

I'm not used to you being so respectful.

Where is the friend in white who argued with me about tea tasting that year?

You came to see me for tea tasting.

But you're here to capture me now.

I have to follow the order of the one in the palace.

But I can still

keep you alive.

You can stop there.

All the way, Xueyue City, Nine Dragon Sect,

Wushuang City, and Tian Wai Tian had come to me.

Every single one of them said they wouldn't kill me.

So, the condition you offered

is not special at all.

Be it Xueyue City or Wushuang City,

the power that I'm representing is different from theirs.

If I can't take you with me this time, I'll not hesitate to kill you.

Eunuch Jade Deity, don't go too far.

If you want to kill him, you have to go through me first!

You...

What?

This time, you can't do it?

Eunuch Jade Deity is here for me.

We'll talk about what happened between us later.

The drunk man looks like an expert.

If I'm not mistaken, the person Wu Xin wants to meet is him.

Do you mean the old friend Wu Xin mentioned?

It's just an old score from the previous generation.

Please brandish your sword.

Shen Jingzhou's Blizzard Sword.

Wu Xin, I heard you've learned many strange martial arts skills.

What are you planning to use this time?

Great Soul Seeker?

You even mastered the martial arts skills of the Great Sorrow.

Zhou'er.

Eunuch Jade Deity, what's the matter?

Why can't you look into my eyes?

Break!

Shen Jingzhou's Blizzard Sword sure precedes its reputation.

When Eunuch Jade Deity was 17, he became famous with the Blizzard Sword in the Martial Arts World.

Wu Xin is also 17 now.

Wu Xin, I'll ask you one last time.

Are you coming with me or not?

It's a pity to kill someone as interesting as you.

It's not easy to kill me.

This is bad.

Zhou'er.

Your Devil Eye won't work on me.

Die now!
