SWORD GALLERY

SPARKLING SWORD BEAMING TO THE STARS

Master, it is time to go.

- The sedan is ready. - Send for Madam.

Master, Third Master T'an has always disliked you.

You must be careful.

Don't worry. I heard he has something new to show off.

No matter what, let's see.

T'AN MANSION

Everyone…!

My dear friends and family,

I have two announcements to make at this banquet tonight.

First,

the lantern in front of you all

was made by a famous craftsman in Peking.

It took him half a year to make it.

Although there is still a long time

before the Lantern Festival for the Chinese New Year,

I'm still willing to let everyone see it in advance,

so that you're ready for it.

Everyone!

I feel it's really strange that Third Master T'an has such poor taste.

So satisfied with what are actually second- and third-rate goods.

Third Master T'an, you needn't be cheerful.

I'll be the one who wins at the Lantern Festival this year.

If you don't believe me, wait and see.

I will!

When the time comes,

Master Lung will be bowing down to me.

Third Master T'an and Master Lung are really fascinating;

sniping back at each other as soon as they meet!

Brother!

Everyone's still waiting for you to talk about the second thing. Hurry up!

Understood.

Sister, go and tell the housekeeper to light the lantern.

All right!

Everyone!

The second announcement is…

that I'd like to introduce someone to you.

Everyone's here. Who else is there?

Master Lung, pay attention. See if you recognise her.

Madam Lung, do you know who she is?

She's a prostitute from Yen Hung brothel!

I've heard that she and Lung—

Never mind!

Third Master T'an, will you tell me how to get up there?

I'll come to greet you, of course!

Third Master T'an.

Miss Yen Chu, your willingness to appear at my humble place really gives me face.

I have the worst habit.

It is that I must get what I want!

Those who are unconvinced by me I will convince all the more!

Lung Shuai!

We are respectable people! Demeanour matters.

T'an Fu, I get it.

Tonight you deliberately arranged to have me lose face in this setting.

Do you mean to say I have made myself look good?

Thank you for that.

- You…! - Master!

Master, you're fighting one another.

Do you want everyone to see you make a fool of yourself? What's the point?

Let's go back.

Madam Lung.

Third Master T'an.

We just had a minor verbal misunderstanding.

It was nothing.

Please don't take it to heart, Madam Lung.

I'd like to toast Master Lung to apologise.

Allow me.

I'll go first.

Master Lung, if you please.

Such a mellow glass of wine…

has been sullied by your dirty hands.

- You— - What do you mean?

T'an Fu, you're both one of a kind.

Only you should drink this wine.

- You…! - Because…

only you could taste its foulness.

See the guest out!

Here…!

I propose to everyone…!

T'AN MANSION

Master! Wait a moment…!

Master…! Listen to me!

I've something important with Old Ts'ui in Lantern Street.

Housekeeper, escort Madam home!

- Yes! - Master!

Master!

WEST GATE

Master Lung!

- Constable P'an. - Nice to see you…!

Isn't Third Master T'an having a banquet? How have you ended up in Lantern Street?

I've been there. I came to discuss something with Old Ts'ui.

As you please…!

Grandpa, don't drink! Master Lung's here.

Master Lung!

- Master Lung— - All right…

Old Ts'ui, listen.

No matter the price you insist, I'll pay it!

As long as you can make me win at the Lantern Festival this year.

Master Lung, the Lantern Festival is some time away.

There are still a few months. Let's talk about it again…

Master Lung, I won't keep the truth from you,

I can't make good lanterns myself.

Who makes them for you?

This— I can't—

I can't tell. I can't…

Didn't say it well…

Well, you're putting me in a difficult position.

This— How can it work?

All right.

Don't tell anyone I told you this.

- Fine. - Come on…

Lives in the back.

So it's you!

I hadn't realised it was you who made all the lanterns for me

in the past two years.

Ch'un-Fang, you enabled me to steal the limelight.

Lung Shuai, we competed for Lady Chin seven years ago.

You forced me to fight at Eagle Beach and wounded me.

That sword mark rendered me unable to look up.

My hatred is as deep as the sea. I'll make you lose everything someday!

You must have paid Old Ts'ui.

Otherwise, you wouldn't have found me. What have you to say?

I want to give you a chance.

I want to spread your mastery of lantern-making throughout the city.

I also want you to move out of this dirty and vile place,

to a life of prosperity and wealth.

Ch'un-Fang, listen to me!

I want you to make me a beautiful lantern.

In this year's Lantern Festival, I have to win against T'an Fu!

I live here to forget the past.

- I just make lanterns for a living. - Ch'un-Fang—

Master Lung, don't use fame and fortune to lure me,

and I won't be used as a tool to deal with others.

Ch'un-Fang, you know my personality very well.

I know Third Master T'an's even better. You can't beat him.

You're kidding!

With my wealth and your craft, you can't beat him?

Ch'un-Fang, forget the past.

As of now, everything begins from scratch.

When the lanterns are ready later, I'll be prosperous

and you'll win both fame and fortune, killing two birds with one stone.

What do you think?

What do you think?

All right. I promise to try. But you must promise me one condition first.

Don't come to me until my lantern is ready.

When done, I will obviously inform you.

All right! That's very simple. I promise you.

Ch'un-Fang, for our reunion, let's go and have fun.

- I don't want to go to such a place. - No, you must go! Let's go!

SWEET-SMELLING YEN HUNG

Master Lung, here you are!

- Mei Yü! Ch'un Hsiang! - Come on…!

Ladies, this is my good friend.

You must treat him nicely, I have a great reward.

- Go inside… - Go in…!

You come in, too.

Ch'un-Fang, let's go in! Hey—

Master Lung's been waiting for you half the day!

Master Lung.

You must have had fun, making your way back this late.

Yen Chu!

Yen Chu, I say, don't be like this!

Yen Chu!

Yen Chu!

You must know.

My reputation is very important to me.

You brought me shame in front of the public.

Nothing to do with you!

Ridiculous!

Why isn't it to do with me?

I spent a lot of money on you!

Also, the friends who come to the brothel know that you belong to me!

Belong to you? That could work.

So are you willing to redeem me as your concubine?

Lung Shuai.

What do you say? How will you redeem me?

Since you can't do it, don't interfere in my affairs from now on.

Yen Chu!

Third Master T'an is different from you.

He said he is willing to marry me as his concubine.

You can't!

You absolutely cannot!

I warn you now!

You can be with anyone, but I forbid you and T'an Fu!

You dare let me down, I won't treat you with respect!

Miss T'an!

Well, are you hunting alone?

This water is clean and cool.

Let's bathe together.

Don't be shy!

Miss T'an…!

Master…

I really don't understand you men.

Continuously fooling around and becoming jealous.

Jealous? Jealous of whom?

You're not jealous? Is it for love?

Love?

It's a pleasant word. How can such a fling be true love?

Besides, no matter what, I must always prevail.

How can I lose to Third Master T'an?

Because of that Yen Chu.

She's just a prostitute.

You two made a scene in public over a prostitute.

Lady Chin,

I couldn't let T'an Fu gain the upper hand in front of everyone.

Otherwise, how can I establish myself in the martial world?

You're too competitive.

To be strong, you're brave and fierce;

is it not meaningless?

You're wrong.

It's not about fighting for strength, but reasoning.

No. It's meaningless.

It does have meaning!

All right, even if you are correct,

you keep fighting like this.

When will the grievance between you and T'an Fu end?

I want him to admit defeat to me

from the bottom of his heart in front of everyone,

then it'll end.

What if you're the one who finds himself bowing down?

It's very simple.

One slash across my neck with a sword. Put an end to it.

I beg you! Don't kill me…!

Whatever you want, I'll promise you!

Where is this place?

Why did you kidnap me to here?

I know.

You must want to get closer and closer to me, right?

Come on, let me down.

It's too uncomfortable for us. Come on.

Come on, hurry up!

Come on.

Come on…

Let me go.

I have all that Lung Shuai has.

I'll destroy all that Lung Shuai wants!

Help!

FICKLENESS OF THE WORLD

Right here!

Master Lung had a bad temper here.

He even said… if Yen Chu did anything that would make her sorry,

he would kill her sooner or later!

Why did Lung Shuai kill her? What for?

It's because of Third Master T'an.

Go…!

I talk too much, I really talk too much!

You all stay here.

- Master, Constable P'an is here. - Invite Constable P'an up.

Yes.

Constable P'an, come up and sit down.

Third Master T'an.

Please.

Miss Yen Chu's disappeared. My butler has already informed me.

- Third Master T'an— - Please sit down.

I can guess the reason why you're here.

It must be related to this bizarre disappearance case.

Right. I heard a rumour of an unpleasant exchange with Master Lung.

It's not a rumour, but a fact!

The problem relates to the girl Yen Chu.

Third Master T'an!

Be very careful when you go to arrest him. He's very skilled in martial arts.

Third Master T'an, it's too early to say that.

There is no arrest to be made yet.

Besides, there's no conclusive evidence. How can you say it was Lung Shuai?

Then you must monitor his actions extraordinarily.

Certainly.

This is such a strange thing. It's ridiculous!

I used to receive three or four invitations a day.

I haven't even had one for a few days now.

Right.

Since they don't send invitations to me,

I'll send invitations to them!

Master!

I don't think people will come.

Why? Are they all dead?

Don't be angry. People don't want to bother you.

Why not?

Lady Chin, I don't allow you to keep things from me.

Speak!

What have you heard?

Master, you—

Miss Yen Chu is missing.

Everyone's saying you had something to do with it.

I heard from the butler

that saw Constable P'an personally bring his men near our house,

watching your every move.

Think about it, who would dare to send you invitations?

That's ridiculous! Let me ask around to find out.

Master!

Don't go over.

I fear it'll only make things worse.

Lady Chin, I know what I'm doing.

Master Lung…

Constable P'an.

I fear I can't escape the accusations relating to Yen Chu.

I did it.

Master Lung, what you said is the truth?

Constable P'an, don't pretend.

Why else do you have so many people watching me?

Because when the case was filed, someone said that you—

They were right. I did it.

But to be clear,

I'm just an accomplice, not the mastermind.

Then who is the mastermind?

You must listen carefully.

- Third Master T'an. - Third Master T'an? He—

If you don't believe me, ask him.

You can let him make a confession, then come and arrest me.

I'll be waiting for you at home.

Let's go inside…!

Who is it?

Tell me now! Are you human or a ghost?

Ch'un-Fang!

Ch'un-Fang!

Ch'un-Fang!

Ch'un-Fang!

- Yell. - Help!

You're a minx. I didn't expect you to be stronger than your brother.

- Why did you kidnap me to here? - Because you are a T'an.

A T'an?

You're the sister of T'an Fu from Phoenix Town.

How can I let you go?

Help!

Don't be too stubborn.

Maybe you'll die quickly and more comfortably.

Or I will drip this potion slowly, drop by drop.

Then your beautiful face

and your nice figure

will slowly rot and become ruined.

Think about it. How painful would that be?

Why can't you tell right from wrong?

Miss T'an, your skin is white, tender, and smooth.

As long as you listen to me obediently and make me happy and comfortable,

Uncle may let you go home, okay?

Come on, time is precious.

Besides, what's not good about Uncle?

Brothers, all of you split up and search!

Chao Lung, Liang Fu! You two will follow me!

Ts'ui Erh, Liu Piao! You two search the southern ravine!

- Then come back here. Search carefully! - Understood!

Third Master T'an.

Well? Did you find her?

No. I searched everywhere.

Follow me.

Third Master T'an, you're here.

- Is Constable P'an here? - Upstairs.

Third Master T'an, you aren't in Chü Pin restaurant for me, are you?

My sister went hunting this afternoon and hasn't come back yet. She's missing.

How awful! One wave hasn't settled, and another has risen.

Constable P'an, let me tell you,

someone has clearly set me up.

If you can't find out, I'll investigate it myself!

Third Master T'an, we certainly will investigate.

Lung Shuai!

- You…! - Well…

This height?!

Not much of a feat!

Lung Shuai, there is a saying:

'Smug concentration on the here and now will lead to future sorrow.'

Master Lung, you have a pretty good reputation.

I wouldn't have expected you to be so wanton and cause a scene.

Well, it's thanks to you stirring things up behind my back.

Facts speak louder than words.

Yen Chu disappeared a few days ago; my sister as well this afternoon.

Lung Shuai, wouldn't you say that's a coincidence?

A coincidence? What of it…?

I can say someone has a beef with me and secretly set me up.

Don't keep staring at me, it wasn't my doing.

Hurry!

Let go!

Gentlemen,

if you both keep crossing hands,

I will take official action!

Constable P'an, practising martial arts is not illegal.

Why are you so nervous?

But the restaurant must do business. Isn't here inappropriate?

Owner, I'll hire the business for tonight.

My friends, wine and food are on me tonight!

I'll be responsible for anything that's broken.

DRINK TO YOUR HEART'S CONTENT

Stop!

Stop!

Gentlemen, stop!

You're from distinguished families! Don't you fear a loss of reputation?

All right, Constable P'an. I'll give you face.

- Owner, send the bill to me! - Yes…!

Lung Shuai, my sister has inexplicably disappeared.

I'll never leave it at this!

I will reward 10,000, 30,000, or 50,000 in silver.

I'll not give up until the murderer is found!

LUNG MANSION

Please wait!

Please wait, let me announce your arrival first.

Go away!

Master!

Master…!

- Master! - Chao Ch'un-Fang!

If you don't let go, I won't be civil!

At the worst, you can slash me again here.

If necessary, I will do so!

Chao Ch'un-Fang…

you came here without invitation. What's the meaning of this?

This is called 'letting someone have a taste of their own medicine'.

How could you just barge into my home?

So… you came here to confront me because of that.

How is the lantern actually coming along?

I should know as the buyer.

No!

I'll let you know when I'm done!

All right.

Consider it my fault. I won't be going there anymore.

You should be able to let go now.

You…!

All right.

Master, didn't you say he was dead?

Why is he here again? Look how scary he is!

You can leave now.

Right! It's him…!

Stop!

If you can't explain why you broke into the Lung mansion,

I'll take you to prison!

You needn't bother.

To handcuff and arrest me is just a simple matter.

Constable P'an, you can't interfere in my affairs with Master Lung.

- Take him away! - Yes!

Wait!

Constable P'an, let him go for my sake.

Lung—

All right.

- Release him. - Yes!

- Master Lung, were you frightened? - I'm fine…

Fine?

Then why did Chao Ch'un-Fang come here early in the morning to make trouble?

Craftsmen are always a little strange.

He thinks I intruded into his place without consent.

Was it that?

You can choose to believe me or not.

Just like Yen Chu,

T'an Ch'ing-Hua's disappearance has nothing to do with me.

Constable P'an,

how long are you going to watch at my home?

It is my duty. Forgive me…

You should know that my patience has a limit.

Please come in!

Guest, please sit here…!

Wait a bit…!

Chao Ch'un-Fang!

So you're hiding here.

Well?

No wonder I couldn't find you these past few years.

Hey, how can you live in such a dirty place?

You've changed so much!

Kuei Ssu-I, what are you doing in Phoenix Town?

What can I do besides killing people?

But this time, it's big business.

You'd be surprised if you knew who hired me.

Come! Let's go in for a drink and talk!

Tell me what's on your mind, don't hide it from me.

I'm worried.

My friend,

your kung fu is very good.

Fast enough, ruthless enough,

but unfortunately not accurate enough.

Tell me now, do you have a grudge against me?

I'm not here to kill you.

I've made a bet to leave a scar on your handsome face.

It won't be me, it'll be you!

What's your name? Who is your connection?

Force me to tell if you can.

Lady Chin!

Constable P'an!

Master Lung, you…

All of your people are rice buckets!

A bunch of good-for-nothings!

- Not capable of one thing! - Master Lung!

You scrounge off the Government!

Master Lung, you come to me in the middle of the night to say this?

Master Lung, even if you are a rich man, you mustn't be so rude to an officer!

I'm already very civil to you.

You stay at my door day and night, for no purpose!

An assassin entered my garden, but you hadn't noticed!

What, there was an assassin?

More than one.

They lured me away as a diversion and kidnapped my wife!

Madam Lung, she— What did the assassin look like?

Let me tell you now,

I left a sword mark on the assassin's forehead;

it is easy to recognise.

Constable P'an,

I want you to find out the whereabouts of my wife as soon as possible.

An assassin? Who could it be?

Don't be scared. It's a fake mask, not a real human head.

Lady Chin, you're frightened.

So it's you.

Yes, it's been seven years. You've probably forgotten.

Why are you holding me captive here?

Who told you to be Madam Lung?

Whatever you want, I'll get Lung Shuai to give it to you!

He'll promise anything.

I beg you, let me go!

Let me go.

I beg you, let me go!

I beg you…! Let me go!

T'AN MANSION

HSIAO YAO FANG

- I want to see Third Master T'an. - He doesn't want to see you.

Amazing. Truly a first-class assassin.

This squadron certainly isn't your match.

Third Master T'an, I'm here to report to you.

Why are your subordinates doing this to me?

Let me ask you. What did you originally boast to me?

To have Master Lung die by my hook.

And the outcome?

The result was a runaway, causing me huge trouble!

You need to know that I hired you as an assassin.

I can't have anyone know this secret.

Especially Lung Shuai!

So you mean you want to kill me.

This scenario in front of you is plainly obvious, can't you see?

It's plain to see, you're not my match.

I will take your life in the third round!

Not necessarily!

Before you die, I should compliment you.

It was better kidnapping Lung Shuai's wife than killing him.

Tell me now, where did you hide Madam Lung?

So you used me to distract Lung Shuai,

kidnapped his wife, and claimed it was me.

You're something else!

Round two!

Kuei Ssu-I, listen up.

This is round three.

I— You…!

Listen up, take him to a remote place and bury him.

Faster!

Faster!

Faster now!

What's that noise?

Up there! Run!

Run…!

Morning.

- Morning, boss. - Morning.

Human heads…!

Boss…! There are lots of human heads up there!

Human heads!

- Human heads! - There are human heads!

TEA

Look!

- Move! - Stand aside!

Stay back…!

Stay back!

Master Lung.

I can't believe a town like Phoenix with pure and honest folk

would turn into a bloody and fierce one.

Constable P'an, I don't think you'll have your black hat for long.

Third Master T'an, you cannot speak like this!

No one can catch a kite with a broken string.

All I encountered were brutal murders.

Stop taking joy from disaster.

I recognise this person.

It was him who tried to assassinate me.

His accomplice carried out the kidnapping of Lady Chin.

But the mastermind is still hiding behind.

This is murder after the show's over.

Makes sense.

I also think it makes sense.

Constable P'an, investigate it as soon as possible.

I see that I mistakenly killed Kuei Ssu-I.

Lung Shuai would never do it. The murderer is clearly someone else.

Destroying the corpse and evidence is good for me.

I might have benefitted the murderer and he is secretly helping me. Who is it?

Master Chao, look, there are so many heads.

Who did it?

So many heads?

- Ch'un-Fang! - Don't come over!

- I told you not to come over! - Ch'un-Fang.

I've told you, when the lantern is ready, I will obviously send it to you.

I'm not here to ask for the lantern.

You just saw everything on the street.

This murderer is a butcher.

I once swore to the heavens, in this life,

to only care about the snow at my door; ignore the frost on other people's tiles.

Why are you acting strangely? If you know something, you should tell me!

The two of us are friends. One cannot know facts without explanation.

All right.

His name is Kuei Ssu-I, a second- or third-rate assassin.

He met me two days ago on Lantern Street.

We talked for a long time in the teahouse.

He said the person who hired him is a famous figure in the city.

He wanted him to kill an enemy surnamed Lung,

and also paid a considerable fee to refine his blades.

It's all he told me. Believe it or not.

So it was T'an Fu who hired the assassin to deal with me.

Master Chao!

Master Chao!

Where are you?

Master Chao!

How come there's a cellar here?

Master Chao, I was looking for you everywhere.

- Why are you looking for me? - I couldn't sleep.

I was looking for you to have a drink. What are you doing underneath?

- I'm making a lantern underneath. - Making a lantern?

A very beautiful lantern.

Would you like to come down and take a look?

Sure.

Master Chao, this is a great lantern.

Blood?! Why is there all this blood?!

What…?

Master Chao, what material is this?

Look carefully. Doesn't it look like human skin?

Old Ts'ui, although you once told me the legend of human skin lanterns,

I'd never use ancient, lost methods by peeling off human skin for real.

You think I'd be sick like that?

Master Chao, that was a silly story when we were drinking and chatting,

how can you take it seriously?

Of course I don't take it seriously.

Human skin is crisp and weak,

how can it be used for making lanterns?

But the blood, the meat…

Here.

You'd be surprised.

Old Ts'ui, if I tell you, you won't like what you hear.

Master Chao, forgive me…!

Everyone has their own secrets.

You know too many of mine.

I won't tell!

- You won't? - I won't…

The worst part of a human is the mouth!

I won't tell!

Master Lung, I didn't send you an invitation.

How can you trespass in and hurt others?

This shows that the situation has reached a serious point.

Either one of us will die.

T'AN FU

T'an Fu! You're so vicious!

Having the hired assassin killed after the mission was completed.

But you forgot an old saying:

'If you don't want anyone to know, don't do it.'

Speak!

Will you hand over my wife?

I can, unless you hand over Yen Chu and my sister first!

Otherwise, don't dream of it!

I already told you, I had nothing to do with that!

All right, as no one's willing to hand anyone over,

it's clear we have no alternative but to settle this!

End the years of grievances between us.

Lung Shuai.

Remember, I'll be the last person to call you Master Lung.

I'll certainly find Madam Lung for you, so she can visit your grave.

It's clear to us now.

We've both been fooled!

No!

Madam Lung,

I don't care at all for gold or silver from Lung.

There's no need for me to tell you.

You ought to understand.

Lung Shuai used his reputation to steal love from me,

forced a fight at Eagle Beach, and wounded me.

I didn't expect that you'd change your mind,

marrying Lung Shuai out of vanity and greed.

These past few years,

I've endured all kinds of pain and hardship,

living incognito, and practising.

I just want to take revenge and let go of my grievance.

- You think I'll let you go back today? - Shut up!

So you're having revenge?

No wonder you looked strange the last time you came to our house.

You haven't let go of your old grudge with Lung Shuai!

Correct!

He reduced me to this point.

Made me unable to look up in the martial world.

I also want him—

- I also want him— - You want… to ruin his family?

That's right…!

I want to ruin his family!

No!

No!

No!

Lung Shuai!

Master!

Master!

What should I do?

I'm so anxious. What should I do?

Constable P'an…

Don't cry…! What happened? Explain slowly.

- My grandpa's disappeared. - Your grandpa?

Constable P'an, Old Ts'ui is a drunkard.

He often falls asleep drunk in the bamboo forest on the mountain.

- Being missing for a day's no surprise! - Uncle Chin, what you say was long ago.

My grandpa is old.

I now go to the mountain to chop bamboo by myself.

My grandpa only drinks with Uncle Ch'un-Fang.

- Chao Ch'un-Fang? - Yes.

Who'd like your grandpa's old skin?

Hold it, what do you mean by what you just said?

This is just a joke from Lantern Street.

There have been women missing one after another recently,

so it's rumoured that human skin is being used for making lanterns.

Human-skin lanterns?

Young Master Lung.

Is it really possible to use human skin to make lanterns?

This is an ancient legend

about peeling off human skin to make a lantern.

- It's a legend…! - I heard it, too!

I heard Grandpa mention it to Uncle Chao. I heard him!

Really?

Master Lung.

What a beautiful little red mole!

Master Lung, I dare to say something boldly.

By nurturing a tiger, you're inviting calamity.

What does that mean?

Don't you think your friend Chao Ch'un-Fang is acting suspiciously?

Lung Shuai, think it over carefully.

I must excuse myself, I'm going to check out Third Master T'an's injury.

Let's go!

Chao Ch'un-Fang? Could it be him?

Lady Li Chin?

Uncle Ts'ui?

Chao Ch'un-Fang?

Right! Go and find him!

Chao Ch'un-Fang!

Chao Ch'un-Fang!

Such beautiful lanterns.

So beautiful…

Chao Ch'un-Fang!

Lady Chin.

Lady Chin.

Chao Ch'un-Fang!

Chao Ch'un-Fang, there's no need to pretend anymore.

I recognise it's you.

The mask can't hide your beastliness!

You took away Lady Chin's life.

I want to take your life this day!

My life was taken seven years ago.

The person standing here now is merely a walking corpse.

No love, only hatred.

No emotion, no sense of warmth.

I'm not like you,

who built your own happiness on the suffering of others.

People hold you high,

and you look at me cold-heartedly!

I've endured all the pain in the world for several years to hone me.

I'm going to ruin you this day!

I want you to know, you can't get what you want nor love!

Now I understand.

So you gave up swordsmanship

and practised this evil martial skill in secret

to get revenge for your defeat from the Eagle Beach battle!

Chao Ch'un-Fang, pay with your life!

Constable P'an, this is Chao Ch'un-Fang!

He killed Old Ts'ui!

Not only did I kill him, Yen Chu and T'an Ch'ing-Hua, too!

Chao Ch'un-Fang, so you were the culprit! Apprehend him!

- Yes! - Wait.

I want to ask.

I had no grievances with you.

Why did you do this to me?

Why did you cause trouble for me?

Because you and he are rivals.

I wanted to add fuel to the fire,

to let you heroes bite each other like dogs!

Bite and bleed!

What do you stand to gain from this?

There are many benefits; it would let them be like me at least!

Heroes, beauty, and glory.

Everything's meaningless…!

Third Master T'an!

T'an Fu!

Catch him alive!

Catch him alive!

Remember, catch him alive!

Go quick…!

Dig…!

Master Lung…!

Master Lung!

Lung Shuai, you didn't expect all this was me, right?

Lady Chin had a happy time with me before she died!

Dig quickly…! Master Lung!

Master Lung…!

DEBT NOTE

Master, all the outstanding debts are here.

Good.

Have them burnt for me.

They're of no use anyway.

Constable P'an.

Master Lung, morning. Are you all right?

It's nothing. I'm fine.

Master Lung, it's over. You needn't give it much thought.

Wealth comes and goes like clouds.

It's true.

If I hadn't flaunted myself so much,

Lady Chin wouldn't have died so miserably.

LUNG FAMILY, LADY CHIN

Constable P'an,

I will go out tomorrow

and wander the Four Seas to focus on spiritual cultivation.

All the gold, silver, money, and treasures here…

I hope you can distribute them on my behalf,

to benefit the poor.

But—

Wealth came from the hard work of ancestors.

Descendants who inherit it should be grateful.

Constable P'an, sorry for your trouble.

But—

All right.

Thank you.

Farewell, Constable P'an.
