''MOUNT WU TANG''
''All alone, l travel to the far side of the world
and think of the times when you're with me
l hope one day l can touch your face again
and l'm willing to endure any hardship for you
We'll go around the world
and care less about what others say
All the troubles will seem so far away
and we'll withstand all the storms that come our way
This world is like one big circle
where everything will come together
No matter how far apart we are
we will eventually reunite in the end
We'll go around the world

''NEW CROUCHlNG TlGER, HlDDEN DRAGON''
Young Madam is back!
Father!
Good!
Lung, your horse riding skill has improved a lot.
But you still don't know kung fu.
So try not to wander around so much.
l won't.
Your Excellency.
We spotted horse thieves 5 miles Northeast from here.
lt could be ''Dark Cloud''.
You go back first.
Let's go!
That could very well be ''Dark Cloud''.
Don't you want to go and find out?
No need.
But l want to go!
Go then.
Just don't call me Master anymore when you return.
Then you'll have to find a better student than me!
Lung!
Lung!!
So, it's only a woman!
Go!
Lung!
Lung.
Lung!
''YUK'S MANSlON''
You listen to me.
From now on, if you keep on roaming around like this,
l'll break your legs!
Master.
The escorts from Hung Yuen have arrived with Lu's gift.
l'm not marrying him!
Shut up!
You have no say in adult affairs!
Go back to your room, now!
Have some tea.
Old Master.
This is Master Yu from the Hung Yuen escort.
This is our daughter's teacher, Mr. Kao.
Greetings, Mr. Kao. l'm Yu Shu Lien.
lt's very accomplished of you, Miss Yu,
to become the head escort at such a young age.
You're flattering me, Mr. Kao.
Master Yuk
l brought a letter from Master Lu.
He wanted me to give it to you in person.
Good.
What did Master Lu say?
He urged us to settle the marriage between Lung and his son.
Looks like Master Lu is more impatient than we are!
That's right.
lt'll be a peace of mind for us too
once that crazy daughter of ours is married.
Masters, l'll take my leave now.
lt's getting late, Miss Yu.
lf you don't mind, why not stay over for the night
and leave tomorrow morning instead?
Then...
lf it's not much trouble.
Butler.
This way, please.
Please.
Take care.
She's quite a lady.
lf only our crazy daughter is half as good as she is,
then l'll be content.
Master Kao.
How are you?
What are you talking about me now??
Was this vase meant for your father, or for me?
Master Yuk scolded you
because, deep down inside, he really loves you.
l scolded you precisely for the same reason.
The world is dangerous and full of trickeries.
But of course.
Master Yuk doesn't know that you do know kung fu.
You're probably thinking that
if your father would've known how good your kung fu is,
then he wouldn't be worrying so much about you.
That's why you're mad at me,
because l told you to keep it as a secret.
And now you're suffering for it, right?
Lung.
You've always been living in this ivory tower of your home.
You have no idea how the world actually looks like.
What am l doing?
l'm talking to a deaf ear!
l shouldn't have taught you kung fu in the first place!
Even if l would've wasted such a talent like you,
at least it doesn't give me as much of a headache
as taming a little shrew like you now!
l...you're giving me a headache!
My bird! My bird!!
My bird!!!
Somebody, help! Help me catch it!
My bird!!
What is it?
Hurry, please help me catch the bird.
l'm begging you!
My bird! Hurry!
And my father wishes he has a daughter like you!
l thought you're someone amazing.
Turns out it's nothing special.
You must be his third daughter.
That's none of your business.
''Lung, Master has to take care of something important.
l'll be gone for a while.
Please don't miss me. Be a good girl.
Take care.''
Master!
Master, l know l'm wrong now.
You're never wrong.
Master, l will change!
l will behave.
l'm begging you. Please don't go!
You better mean what you said.
l, Yuk Jiao Lung, always abide by my word!
Good.
l have to go to Baoding for personal matters.
l'll be back in 3 months.
So Master is not leaving because of me?
lf you break your promise and keep causing trouble,
then l still won't come back.
Who said l'll break my promise?
That's good then.
Be careful on the road, Master.
lt's late. Go home.
You wrote this?
Your calligraphy has improved.
Master.
Why do you come and visit this deceased master all the time?
Who was he?
l'm going now. Go home.
Master! You have to come back!
Why were Master's hands full of soil?
''JUO WA SWORD AND FlST STANCE MANUSCRlPT''
Get up!
Get up!!
Get up now!!!
GET UP!!
Miss.
Miss!
l think your horse is dead.
My horse!
My horse!!
Miss!
Who said l'm selling my horse?
MlSS!!
Hey, hey.
Hey!
Your jade emblem!
Wait!
Sorry, senior.
Did l scare you?
No.
Thanks for helping me back then.
No. You were frightened by them because of me.
l should be the one apologizing.
That's all right.
l'm in a hurry. l have to go.
Fine. Take care.
What happened?
What really happened??
Father! Who killed our little brother??
What exactly happened at our home??
Why are there so many dead?
Father! Why aren't you saying anything??
lt's not that l don't want to tell you.
You're still young.
You shouldn't get involved with some matters of our world,
because you'll have a hard time getting yourself out of them.
Father! What's with you?
You're not like this before!
l don't care.
Little brother was innocent!
Shu Lien!
l understand how you feel,
and we must avenge for our little brother.
But now is not the time.
There's still one very important thing you have to do.
Master.
This will be our last escort.
Let's get this delivered.
An escort?! Now?
l'm doing this as a favor for a very good friend of mine.
l've owed him much.
Now that l'm retiring from the martial arts world,
l'm afraid l may never pay back his gratitude.
That's why we must carry out this escort.
Father! Tragedy has struck Hung Yuen
and our brothers' corpses are still warm.
Now is the time for revenge.
Yet you want me to carry out an escort instead?!
ls it because you want me to stay out of this, father?
Shu Lien! What's with you??
Are you disobeying your father now?
- But Father... - Say no more!
You have to carry out this escort irregardless!
We will sever our ties if you refuse to do so!
Then we will no longer be father and daughter!
Fine, father.
l will go, since you insist.
l need a room, manager.
Sorry, but we're all full today.
Senior!
Little brother.
Senior. You sleep on the bed.
l can just sleep on the floor.
Get some rest.
l can't do that!
Just consider this as my apology to you
for this morning.
Your Excellency. You're personally leading the troops
to avenge our enemies this time.
We are forever grateful to you.
Let's get one thing clear.
My sole mission is to eliminate rebels of the Bagua cult.
l have nothing to do with your personal vendetta.
Yes...
Your Excellency is here for the rebels.
But this Yu Hung Yen is also one of the Bagua leaders.
You must kill him first!
Don't you worry.
Once this is over,
just hand over the list of the names.
l guarantee you that Hung Yuen Escorts will vanish forever!
Little brother. Your kung fu is not bad.
Where did you learn it?
l'm from Wu Tang.
Wu Tang?
You know someone from Wu Tang, Senior?
Just one.
Why don't you tell me his name?
Perhaps l may know him.
Little brother. Can you do me a favor?
Of course, Senior. Just tell me.
l have a friend for whom l'm taking something to Wu Tang.
Can you do it for me instead?
Sure.
Once l finish running errands at the capital,
l'll take care of it for you.
There's no hurry.
Besides, l don't have the item yet.
l'll give it to you later.
My horse!
What are you doing??
l'm buying back my horse, lady.
Farewell!
My escort box...
Hey! Don't you run away!
Come back!!
Stop running!
How dare you stole my thing, you rascal!
But l didn't.
This was my horse.
Give me back my box!
''TO MY LOVELY DAUGHTER''
''Shu Lien. lf, upon returning,
you find both your mother and l are well,
that means l can really retire from the martial arts world.
That will also mean we can all
live a quiet and peaceful life.
This has always been my ultimate dream.
However, you can never leave the martial arts world.
lf, by the time you come back,
you don't see me and your mother
then l only wish that you will forgive me
for not saving our family.
But l must save you and let you live.''
FATHER!!!
Father...
Quick! Someone is still in there!
Stop it, Miss Yu!
Get out of my way!
- Miss Yu! - Get away!
- Miss Yu! - Let me go!!
Don't be like this, Miss Yu!
You let me go!
Do not be blinded by rage.
You have to calm down.
l have to find the real murderers and kill them all!
There's never an end to revenge.
You're not me. You wouldn't understand.
Miss Yu. Please listen to Mr. Kao.
Besides, this is your father's wish.
Sorry.
l unintentionally read the letter.
What should l do?
You still have a long road ahead of you.
You should think about what you can do.
Our Escort is destroyed,
and l'm now without a home.
You...
Don't you have any other relatives?
They're all dead...
l have to find Uncle Meng.
Rebels! We're here to capture you!
Resist and you will die!
Stop!
They are not real soldiers.
l am Meng Wing Cheung. Sorry for offending you.
The three of you are...
Uncle Meng!
Miss, you are...
l'm Yu Shu Lien. Greetings, Uncle Meng!
You are Shu Lien?!
Never thought that brother Hung Yuen
will die under the hands of that evil woman Ho Gim Ngo.
You mean Ho Gim Ngo is my father's killer?
lf my assumptions are correct,
then she must be the woman Brother Kao saw at the inn.
Then why is there so much hatred
between Ho and the Hung Yuen Escorts?
This started years ago.
Back then, me, brother Hung Yuen
and Ho's father Ho Fei Lung
were troubled by the officials' ill treatment of the people.
We joined the Bagua Cult.
To avoid being captured by the government troops,
we decided to separate.
Brother Hung Yuen learned kung fu from the masters
and started Hung Yuen Escorts.
And l came here and opened a teahouse.
What about Ho Fei Lung?
We never heard from him after we separated.
At first, we thought he had been arrested.
We found out later that he had become a bandit.
He even tried to rob your father's escorts.
Ho realized he is no match to your father's kung fu.
So he used reunion as an excuse
to invite your father to his place.
He poisoned the wine.
But your father found out about his plan and killed him.
Uncle Meng.
Are you saying that Ho came to revenge her father?
Senior Meng.
ls there anyway to settle this?
Unless we take back the list of Bagua Cult members
from Ho Gim Ngo and kill her as well.
Right.
Let me stay here so we can kill that witch together!
Miss Yu, no!
You stay out of this!
Miss Yu.
Can't you see what your father had gone through for you?
Shu Lien, Swordsman Li is right.
Your father will be rolling in his grave
if he knew that you plan to revenge.
Uncle Meng, then why are you telling me the truth?
l now regret telling you after seeing how you react.
Uncle Meng...
l know that, even if l don't tell you the truth,
you will never give up,
because your heart will always feel unresolved.
Shu Lien, let me take care of that witch.
You must not linger here.
You should leave at dawn after staying for the night.
Uncle Meng.
Why are you treating me like an outsider?
Haven't you forgotten my marriage agreement with your son?
This is the only place l can go.
Uncle Meng!
Shu Lien, Tze Chu...
He...
What about him?
He...
Old Master.
Please let me take Miss Yu to see Young Master.
''FUNERAL TABLET OF MENG TZE CHU''
Young Master came to the capital a while back.
He was standing up for somebody
and offended the police troops as a result.
Miss, l'm sure you understand
how unreasonable and arrogant those police troops are.
Young Master got really mad and fought with them.
He ended up being killed.
''YUK'S MANSlON''
l'm bored to death!
Why are you always acting crazy like this, my child?
Are you possessed?
l am crazy.
l am crazy!
l am crazy! l am crazy!!
- l am crazy!! - That's enough!
l am crazy!!
You'll get a good scolding from your father
if he finds out.
l want him to find out!
l like seeing him getting mad over me.
You better not make him mad now.
He's going into battle tomorrow with
someone by the name of ''Dark Cloud''.
He's really occupied.
Right Squadron, attack!
Charge!
Left Squadron, attack!
Charge!
Kill!
Front Squadron, attack!
Kill!
Miss!
- Miss! Where are you, Miss? - Where are you?
Your people are here for you.
You think l can't see that?
You better go.
Miss, where are you?
l don't need you to tell me what to do!
See? She's over there!
Miss, are you all right?
Get the horse. Hurry!
Yes!
Let's go.
Yes!
She's not leaving the mansion starting today!
Arrange for her wedding at once!
Are you all right, Miss?
Miss!
''JUO WA SWORD AND FlST STANCE MANUSCRlPT''
Father, you should at least
cancel the wedding arrangement between me and Shu Lien.
Shu Lien is a good girl.
Aren't you afraid you'll have regrets
if you give her up so easily?
Life is never perfect to begin with.
l've made up my mind. Say no more.
You're leaving now??
Who goes there?
Ho Gim Ngo?!
Charge!
- Are you all right? - l'm fine.
Let's go, Brother Ken!
Get that name list!
Go after them!
Brother Ken!!!
You will all die for killing Brother Ken!
Fine. l'll die with you then!
Miss Yu!
Hold my hand!
Let go, Brother Li!
- No! - l'll die with her!
l will never let go!
Brother Li!
No!
Pull! Use your strength!
Miss Yu! Are you all right?
l'm fine.
Are you all right?
l'm fine.
Sorry.
lt's all right.
Where's Mr. Kao?
He left. He had to go to Baoding.
What are your plans, Swordsman Li?
l have to deliver something to the capital
on behalf of my master.
l must be going now.
Take care, both of you.
l'm responsible for what they've done!
You should only catch me.
But of course, you must first defeat me!
l sure will!
Then come on!
l'm not afraid of you!
You crazy woman.
You foul-mouthed, damn thief!
l'll kill you, you bastard!
Fine!
Enough.
l don't believe l can't win you!
Woman!
Woman!!
You're awake.
Enough of this.
Are you feeling better?
What's it to you?
Let go of me!
What if l don't?
You slime!
You heartless bastard!
Let go of me!
Getting your strength back, huh?
That means you must be fine now.
l hate you!
Do you really hate me?
Aren't you here to arrest me?
l...
l'm going back to the capital soon!
You take care.
Don't go!
Lo Xiao Fu! How dare you?!
Just because l like you doesn't mean you can bully me.
Everyone dies.
l will have no regrets if l die under your hands.
- We'll fight our way out! - Yes!
Father! Mother!
Father, mother...
Brother Ken died a horrible death.
l want you all to die the same way!
Save my father...
Save my mother...
l don't want to be alone...
Please...
Don't leave me alone...
Don't let me be by myself...
Don't worry. l'm here.
The relationship between Wu Tang and us
had deteriorated with the appointment of their new leader.
But this time...
That's why there are no eternal enemies in this world.
There are also no eternal friends.
Those who can be used are our friends.
Those who can't are our enemies.
Are they trying to mend bridges with you, Lord Beila?
ln the end, we're both using each other.
However...l admire their sincerity.
Why's that?
They are sending one of their students here
to offer me a precious gift.
They're only a bunch of Taoist monks.
What precious gift can they offer?
Green Destiny Sword.
''THE ClTY OF BAODlNG''
Brother Yang.
l'm sorry.
l hadn't been able to take care of the matters
you bestowed upon me before you died.
l promise you that l, Kao Lang Chau,
will bring Xiao Fu here to see you before l die
so he can give you his offerings.
You said the same nonsense 15 years ago.
Looks like you haven't changed one bit!
Sister Lieu!
You disguised as a beggar
to avoid being captured by the troops?
You took my manuscript back then.
Now is the time to return to me.
l don't know what you're talking about!
Never thought a poor scholar like you would actually
possess such good kung fu skills in just 15 years!
Sister Lieu.
lt's not too late to repent.
Take care.
We have to get more of these silk fabrics in stock.
Yes.
They're selling really well this year.
We can stock up a bit more.
Brother Meng!
Why can't you look at me?
Miss, l'm afraid you've mistaken me for someone else.
Really?
l am not some Brother Meng.
My name is Chau Cheung Ching.
That's not it.
You're also the disfigured servant at the Meng Mansion.
Uncle Meng gave me this.
Why aren't you admitting it?
l just want to know why.
You can annul our marriage contract.
You can even discard our relationship
and everything between us.
But you can't lie to me.
Shu Lien.
Please forgive me for being selfish.
Actually...
l've never forgotten my promise to you.
l hate myself for doing this too.
Don't worry, Brother Meng.
l'm not here to force you to honor our marriage.
l just want to know the truth.
Shu Lien!
Where are you going?
The world is such a big place.
l'm sure l can find somewhere to go.
Take care.
Shu Lien!
Will we see each other again?
l don't think so.
Shu Lien, please stay.
What did you say?
lt's all my fault. Please stay.
Did you enjoy your visit at the capital?
l would never have imagined how the capital
has changed over these past years!
And l also had sugar-coated apples.
lt's delicious!
A lady of the mansion eating on the streets.
Where have all your manners gone?
Good. Master Kao is back.
He's going to give you a lesson!
Master!
Did you run amok while l was away?
No! l'm not some wild monkey!
Master Yuk, Madam.
You must be exhausted, Master Kao.
- l'm fine... - Kao Lang Chau!
Where do you think you're going?
You're not getting rid of me so easily!
l'm staying with you for life!
You...!
Master Kao, she is...
She's my wife.
You damn scholar! How dare you!
What?
Do you want me to tell them who you really are?
Should l tell Master Yuk that you are indeed
the despicable, wanted fugitive ''Jade Fox''?
You...
Master Yuk is the newly appointed Viceroy.
So you better be careful and don't do anything rash.
l want you to behave yourself and stay here.
Then...
What about the manuscript?
l will give it to you when the time is right.
You stole the ''Juo Wa Manuscript''!
l didn't!
You really didn't?
l'll be damned if l lied to you!
Fine!
Are you still denying it?
l wouldn't have stolen it if you taught me.
Still so arrogant?
l must teach you a lesson!
Master.
Give me back the manuscript!
No!
Why wouldn't you behave?
Because l'm not content!
l have to learn it!
You're not qualified to learn it because of your temperament!
Why can't l learn it?
You're too wild.
Just like l didn't want to give the manuscript
to ''Jade Fox'' years ago.
lt will only beget more ills.
Jade Fox?
Master, so you know Jade Fox?
She's your master's wife.
She?
She's Jade Fox?
But she's really not my wife.
She's here to take back the manuscript.
So this manuscript belongs to her?
No.
lt belongs to a Wu Tang master, Jiang Lan Huo.
Was he the one whom you always pay respect to?
You...
Brother Jiang told me that
he had always suspected his wife Lieu.
She's been eyeing the manuscript.
So l've decided to hide it.
This manuscript only has the external stances.
Lieu's talent and skills are limited.
lf she learns it, then she'll only damage her own body
and take herself on to the path of self destruction.
Master, then can you teach me the internal stances?
No way!
Why?
lt was greed that caused your own master
to steal the manuscript from Lieu and learn it for himself.
Even if my kung fu is now superb, l feel like a thief.
Always living in fear.
The more my kung fu improves, the more guilt l feel.
ln the end, l had to retreat to the deserts.
Lung.
Let's forget about all this and
return it to the rightful owner.
Master, you want to return it to Wu Tang?
Yes.
No!
Lung! Why wouldn't you just listen to me??
Master.
l've already experienced such superb kung fu.
l won't be content if you want me to turn back now!
Greetings, Uncle Tak. l'm Li Mu Bai of Wu Tang.
What can l do for you?
l'm a friend of Yu Shu Lien.
She urged me to visit you once l'm here in the capital.
l knew what happened to Brother Hung Yuen's family.
Now she's the only one left.
How is she?
She's already found someone who can give her
happiness for the rest of her life.
Morning, Madam Kao.
Morning.
- What a pretty bird! - Let me tell you, this bird...
Talk!
Where's the manuscript?
What are you talking about, Madam Kao??
Stop pretending!
That master of yours must have taught you kung fu!
No!
Master only teaches me literature and calligraphy!
You...
You better stop lying or l'll kill you!
lt hurts, Madam Kao!
Let me go!
Still think you can fool me?!
l really don't know kung fu, Madam!
l really don't!
Dammit!
Miss!
Old Master.
What nerves!
Who dares to hurt Lung in my own house?!
l'm not going to spare that person!
The maid told me that, when she saw Lung,
only Madam Kao was with her.
lt's her?
Father...
Lung!
Madam Kao has nothing to do with it.
Then...
l was trying to catch a bird,
so l climbed up the tree, and...
ls that so?
Master.
How are you doing?
Master, it's all my fault.
l better return this manuscript to you.
You...
You're right.
This manuscript is nothing but trouble.
l think Jade Fox is not going to let me go easily.
Her kung fu is not as good as yours.
No matter what, she's not going to give up.
Besides, l was only doing it for fun.
Forget it.
How could you bully someone who doesn't know kung fu?!
l was wrong then.
But you can't blame me for everything!
Had it not for you, l wouldn't have done it!
So is this really all you want after all?
That's Jiang Lan Huo's Juo Wa Manuscript!
Just take it and leave!
This is too easy!
l'm afraid you might offend Viceroy Yuk
if you keep rippling the water here!
A scholar will always be a scholar.
Just mind your own business!
Fine, l'm going.
Then go!
Madam Kao.
lt's you!
lt's late. Where're you going?
l...
You are leaving?
Yes.
l've told you.
l'll leave once l have finished my business here.
That's all you have on you? lt's cold.
Take this.
Take care, Madam Kao.
Please come back often.
Wait!
You know something?
l'm not some ''Madam Kao''.
l'm a bandit.
Really?
So don't be so nice to just anybody.
Do you understand?
Madam Kao!
What is it?
Do you know someone by the name of Lo Xiao Fu?
You know him?
He told me there's someone who calls herself
''Jade Fox'' that knows who killed his father.
You little fox.
l almost fell into your trap.
So you're just like all the others.
You just want to use me.
Madam Kao...
You know something?
l'm not going to tell you.
l want to leave a bait, so that l may use you
when you need me later.
Do you hate me?
l hate you!
l hate you...
Hate you...
Dammit!
Catch her, father!
We have to revenge for mother!
Father!
Father, are you all right?
l'm not marrying a bandit.
Why?
l'm a Viceroy's daughter.
Even though my father is no longer commanding the frontier,
l still can't associate myself with the notorious ''Dark Cloud''.
Even if my father doesn't object,
other officials will still suspect that
he's conspiring with bandits.
You're you, and your father is your father.
Why does it matter?
Who cares where you go once you leave him for good?!
Leave him for good?
l can't do that. That wouldn't be filial.
You can't do this and you can't do that.
So do you love me or not??
Do l love you?
You should know by now.
Damn bandit!
Then come with me!
l can't!
l don't care!
You're being silly now!
What's with you, woman?
l'm not following you!
So it's all because l'm a bandit, isn't it?
Yes.
Fine!
Then l won't be one anymore!
l'll sever my ties with my brothers tomorrow,
then l'll come back for you!
You really mean it?
We should split here, woman.
No!
Let's go a bit further.
Then go back with me.
No way!
Are you leaving now?
Then give me a kiss.
ln your dreams!
You should go back now.
Damn woman!
Please listen to me, brother!
You can kill me, but you must
let me go back and see my woman first!
Promise me one thing and l won't kill you.
Speak!
Please forgive me.
You're...you're really something else!
The sword bearer from Wu Tang is here, Lord Beila.
Let him in, quick!
l'm Li Mu Bai of Wu Tang.
On behalf of our reverend,
l wish you longevity and prosperity.
Reverend was too kind!
l'm also here on behalf of Wu Tang
to offer our clan's crown jewel, the Green Destiny Sword,
as your birthday present.
ls this sword really that powerful?
Then we must try it out!
Lung!
Behave yourself!
lt's all right.
Besides, l want to see how mighty this sword really is.
Please demonstrate for us, Swordsman Li.
Here.
Yes!
Lord Beila.
l'm afraid l may not be able to pierce this
with my kung fu.
How come?
Even though Green Destiny can cut through all things,
it still depends on the superb internal strength of the wielder.
My kung fu is simply not up to it.
lf l persist, then it'll only tarnish this sword's reputation.
Everyone here is your friend. We will not mock you.
Come, just try!
Even if you break the sword, l won't hold a grudge against you.
Come on!
l'm afraid l just can't.
Are you trying to conceal your skills, Swordsman Li?
Or are you really not up to it?
What l'm lacking is the strength of softness.
The strength of softness as described by Confucious?
The softest thing in the world
can also penetrate the hardest thing in the world.
One that is shapeless can also cut through the most solid objects.
l tried to learn the benefits of such strength,
but l had yet to grasp it when l left the clan.
Therefore, l cannot proceed. Please forgive me.
Good.
Very good.
Knowing when to retreat, and at such young an age!
Good!
That's right.
l've heard your reciting of Lao Tzu's ''The Book of Tao''.
l was quite impressed.
l feel that nowadays, everyone only knows how to be aggressive.
Only you, Swordsman Li, know the importance of restraint.
Can you stay here with me
so that you may advise me on such matters regularly?
l'm still a student myself.
l dare not to advise others.
Besides, l will return to Wu Tang soon to further my studies.
A talent like you hiding among the woods.
What a pity! What a pity!
Little Brother!
Senior Kao?
Have you heard of the Juo Wa Manuscript?
lt was written by Jiang Lan Huo.
This was one of Wu Tang's most important manuscripts.
Can it be that...?
That's right.
l want you to take this manuscript back to Wu Tang.
There are two parts to the manuscript.
A part for sword stances, and a part for internal stances.
Yes.
l've heard my master said that
you must not study one without the other.
Otherwise, it may cause internal damages.
lf you only study the internal stances...
Without the support of the external stances,
the full power of the stances will never be realized.
Your master only taught you the internal stances, right?
Right.
No wonder l've heard my master said that
they've been trying desperately to locate the lost manuscript.
You're leaving so soon?
There must be an end to everything.
My task here is completed.
l must return to my master.
Brother Li, with this tea,
l bid you a safe journey home.
Let's eat, Brother Li.
What are you looking at?
l just want to look at the way you smile.
Then...you better take a good look.
Brother Li!
Uncle Tak?
Uncle Tak.
Have a seat.
What's the occasion?
l'm about to return to Wu Tang.
Miss Yu was kind enough to treat me.
lsn't it a pity for you to leave here now
when the whole city is abuzz with rumors?
l've never been concerned with
matters of the martial arts world.
But what l'm about to tell you does concern you.
Brother Li is here to deliver a sword.
He has no ills with anybody here.
Why would there be something that concerns him?
Didn't you give the Green Destiny Sword to Lord Beila?
Do you know there is a very important connection
between this sword and Wu Tang's long lost secret?
But my master never told me about that connection.
This morning, someone passed the news to Lord Beila
that whoever that finds the long lost Juo Wa Manscript
and also possesses the Green Destiny Sword
will be able to find the lost treasures of the last dynasty!
Miss Yuk.
Do you like these fabrics?
They're all made out of top quality silk from Hangzhou.
l can choose my own bridal dress,
but why can't l choose who to marry?
But marriages had always been arranged by the parents!
Your parents are already dead, so you don't have to abide
by the marriage contracts they arranged.
And you're being addressed as a woman of virtue.
lt's just a name after all.
Promises surpass life and death.
l've made a promise, and l'll honor it.
What nonsense!
Spending the rest of your life with someone you don't love.
l would rather die than to live!
Thanks.
Shu Lien.
Brother Meng.
Why so late?
Miss Yuk's expectations are high.
lt took her a day and she still didn't find one she likes.
l don't blame her.
Marriage can never be a hasty matter.
Right.
Tired?
l've already prepared hot water for you.
Why not take a hot bath first?
''Spending the rest of your life with someone you don't love.
l would rather die than to live!''
Shu Lien.
Are you all right?
l'm fine. Let's go.
Coming here to steal the sword? How dare you!
Give me back the sword!
Viceroy Yuk's Mansion?
Are you Li Mu Bai?
l am.
A man wanted me to give you these two letters.
Go buy yourself some candies.
Thank you, uncle!
''Little Brother. The manuscript is still with me.
l apologize for not carrying out my promise yet.
l will accept any responsibility.
But please keep the following matter a secret.
My student is actually Yuk Jiao Lung,
daughter of Viceroy Yuk.
She has been secretly studying kung fu with me for years.
She has a good heart. lf she's properly taught,
then she can bring good fortunes.
Otherwise, she will bring misfortunes instead.
l hope that you, little brother, can teach her for me.''
What does Senior Kao mean?
Master, you're here early!
l'm going to teach you
''Piercing the clouds and breaking the moon'' today.
So remember it well.
You finally teach me this stance, master!
l'm afraid l may not have the chance
if l don't teach you now.
You're smart. You can learn it with one try.
But this stance requires a strong internal stance as foundation.
Otherwise the stance will have none of its power.
Now sit down.
Master!
Don't talk! Concentrate!
Master!
Master!!
l have transferred all of my internal energy to you.
Whether it'll be a blessing or a curse
will depend on your own doings.
Don't you worry, Master.
lt's late.
Go home now.
Go, hurry.
l knew you'll be coming back for me.
Where's the manuscript?
How dare you!
Do you know who you're dealing with?!
The real manuscript is right here!
Come and get it, if you dare!
Dammit!
Sister Lieu!
Get away from me!
Hurry! Put out the fire!
Hurry!
Over here!
Water!
Hurry!
There!
Hurry! More!
Master Kao...
Let me in! Let me in!!
Master Kao!!
No!
Lung!
My child!
Put out the fire!!
Do you listen to your Master or not?
l listen to you, Master.
l told you not to learn the Juo Wa Manuscript's stances.
So did you follow my order?
l...
The manuscript has been destroyed,
but you must have copied everything down!
Master, l didn't mean to lie to you.
Was it Sister Lieu who got you into this?
No.
lt was an accident.
Really?!
To learn the sword stances,
you must first learn the internal stances.
Otherwise, all your arteries will be severed.
Have you met a man by the name of Li Mu Bai?
Ask him to teach you the internal stances.
Then your sword stances will be much improved.
l want to learn the internal stances,
but l need Master to teach me.
l only have you as my Master!
This is my last wish.
Are you going to disobey that too?
Do you want Master not to die in peace?!
l understand.
That's good.
Master!
Lung...apologize to Sister Lieu...for me...
Master?
Master!
Master!!
Why don't you stay, Madam?
We will take good care of you.
l'm innocent!
l didn't steal anything! l'm innocent!
Beat him!
Stop beating me!
Stop!
Stop beating me!
Lord Beila. Now that the sword is already lost,
it wouldn't help things to have Master Lau beaten to death.
Please stop.
Stop.
Actually, this is not too complicated.
Someone sneaked into our mansion,
injured Master Lau and stole the Green Destiny Sword.
So before we find the sword, you're still the suspect!
But l'm innocent!
Then l'll give you three days.
lf you don't find Green Destiny within three days,
you'll lose your head!
l'm innocent!
Wait! This lady...
- Master, she... - Leave!
Yes.
l'm Choi Sheun Mui. l'm here to see
the chivalrous Uncle Tak.
Who are you?
Uncle Tak doesn't just see anybody!
Choi Sheun Mui...
Then Choi Kau is your...
He's my father.
Something happened to him!
What kind of venom does Brother Kau has?
lt's Wu Tang's ''lce Fire Venom''.
But it's long thought to have vanished
with the death of our elder Jiang Lan Huo.
Has it been three days?
Can he be saved?
lt's too late.
Father! You must not get angry.
l've controlled my rage for three days,
hoping to suppress the venom.
l never thought l'd never make it.
JADE FOX!!!
Father!
Father...
FATHER!!
l'm like having the same venom in me!
lf l can't find the person who stole the sword in three days,
then l'll be dead for sure!
Only Jade Fox could have done this.
Jade Fox?
Since no one will do it, then l will.
You'll see how l'm going to catch that Jade Fox!
Miss, this is the Viceroy's Mansion.
Let me in!
We can't just let anybody in there!
Get out of my way and let me in!
l, Choi Sheun Mui, must catch that Jade Fox!
Stop!
Don't run!
Don't move!
On your knees!
Lau Tai Bo!
l'm the Viceroy. How dare you say that
Jade Fox is in my home?!
Please calm yourself, Viceroy.
l would like to hear Swordsman Li's opinion.
Of course, l'm confident Viceroy didn't steal the sword.
And l'm also not implying that he's harboring the thief.
But there are more than a hundred people in the mansion.
l wouldn't be surprised if there is a rogue thief among them.
You...
Makes sense.
Well?
ls she here?
No.
Viceroy, has everyone in your mansion
been accounted for?
There's only one more person that has not been questioned,
and that's me, Yuk Jiao Lung.
Li Mu Bai.
Miss Yuk.
What about Madam Kao? Shouldn't she be here too?
Then Mr. Li and others can definitely clear this up
once and for all.
Father.
Madam Kao is grief stricken in bed by the loss of Master Kao.
Can she be the exception?
That Madam Kao is in her middle age.
She must be Jade Fox!
What nonsense are you talking about?
Madam Kao is the dear wife of Master Kao, whom l respect.
lf she's not a suspect, then she must appear here!
l've told you.
Madam Kao is quite stricken in bed.
My master has just passed away,
and you're already bullying his wife?
l don't care! All l know is that
l must find Jade Fox today, or else!
Forget it.
Master Kao had just passed away.
Let's not disturb Madam Kao.
The sword thief?!
''The Golden Eagle Soars''?
That's a Wu Tang sword stance!
Where did you learn it?
Cut the nonsense! You better watch out!
You stole Green Destiny for the treasures?
That's for those who only likes the foul smell of money!
All l care is to learn the ultimate stance!
What're you laughing at?
--At your ignorance. --How dare you?
A Wu Tang sword stance without the internal stance
is like a body without the soul.
All superficial and no heart.
Even if you have Green Destiny, you'll never succeed.
So are you.
You didn't dare to show off your kung fu in front of Lord Beila.
You're not qualified to teach me!
So you also attended Lord Beila's birthday banquet.
You...
Miss Yuk! So it is you!
Nonsense!
She is indeed Master Kao's student.
''The weary bird longs for the old woods,
and the fish misses the old river''
Miss, why not fulfill everyone's wishes
by returning it?
This bird is now in my hand.
l can do whatever l want with it.
No one can stop me.
lt's nice to know that you can do as your heart wishes.
But don't forget that
''A single spark can burn the whole prairie''
lt's not worth it to destroy the entire forest
just because of a bird, Miss.
ls that so?
Then l want to find out who has the power to stop me.
Are you the young leader of Hung Yuen Escorts,
Yu Shu Lien?
Yes.
So you have fought with the thief who stole the sword?
Yes.
Do you remember the person's look and shape?
Can you tell me?
lt was a dark, moonless night,
and the thief's face was masked.
l didn't get a good look.
Over there!
Catch him!
Go! Hurry!
Halt!
You brazen thief! You've already got the sword.
Now you're coming back for more?!
Who do you think we are?
Save your preaching!
My next stance will be ''The subdued dragon''.
l'll use ''Two dragons meet tiger''!
You can't run away, thief!
Go!
You jerk! What are you doing here?
You almost kill your own man, woman!
How come it's you??
Wherever you go, l'll go.
Are you all right?
Luckily l was quick,
otherwise l would've lost my arm!
Oh no, they're coming!
Let's go!
lt's you, nutcase?
The Wu Tang kid!
l got it now. Never knew you're a thief yourself, woman.
No wonder you and l are a match!
What are you talking about?
l can care less about this piece of rotten steel!
Miss Yuk, your father's career is now ruined
precisely because of your eagerness to win.
l know that! That's why l came back to return it.
We can't imagine what would happen
if you would've been caught.
Well, l'm still here, right?
Did you ever wonder how you were able to escape?
That's because my kung fu is the best!
You...
Want to try?
l'm not scared!
Can we stop this, please?
Right. She only stole a sword.
Since Miss Yuk is now willing to return the sword,
Miss Yu, l think we should no longer pursue this matter.
That's more like it.
Greetings, Viceroy Yuk.
You said you know where Green Destiny is?
Yes.
Please look at this.
This is indeed Green Destiny!
Where did you get this from?
Jade Fox.
Jade Fox?
Where is she now?
She's dead.
Dead?
You killed her?
Yes.
How did you kill her?
She attacked me yesterday and injured my arm.
l pushed her down the cliff out of self defense.
l didn't know who she was until
l read the royal bulletin posted this morning.
That's why l've come here.
This was the weapon that she used.
lt was indeed!
And it was good that you killed her!
Please, have a seat!
May l ask your name, swordsman?
Swordsman, may l ask your name?
My name is Ha Jeng Wai.
Ha Jeng Wai?
l never knew there's such a hero at your place!
Yes.
Good!
Lord Beila, is it true that the sword has been found?
That's right.
Now l finally know how it feels to regain
something precious that you've once lost.
Lord Beila, may l take a look?
Come, take a look.
Well?
This is indeed the one and only Green Destiny, isn't it?
What about the thief? Has he been caught?
Jade Fox was the thief, and she's killed.
This was her sword.
- Give it to me! - Give it to me!
Xiao Fu.
Hey, kid.
Miss Yuk.
This was Jade Fox's sword. Where did you get it?
What is it?
Whoever that forged this sword was indeed good.
He even fooled all of you.
What do you mean?
This sword is a fake?
And l thought you're an expert of the martial arts world!
Miss Yuk, who exactly is Ha Jeng Wai?
Xiao Fu?
So you are Ha Jeng Wai?!
Who else besides him would dare not to use his own name?
Don't think you can fool others by coming up with
this silly name!
Miss Yuk.
Master Kao left this letter for me.
Please read for yourself.
We hope that Miss Yuk can return
Wu Tang's Juo Wa Sword And Fist Stance Manuscript.
That book was burned along with my master's body.
Burned?
But surely you must remember all the stances.
That's right, so?
Please write them down on paper.
l have one condition.
You must teach me the internal stances.
Wu Tang's stances are not to be passed down to outsiders.
Outsiders?
Don't forget that l'm a Wu Tang student now too.
Who's there?!
So close!
Stop!
Who are you, old man?
Ha Jeng Wai!
Greetings, Viceroy.
You...
Were you the Ha Jeng Wai that retrieved Green Destiny
and killed Jade Fox?
Never knew l'm actually famous now!
The heroes are indeed getting younger!
Sorry to keep you all waiting.
Viceroy Yuk. l have already asked the Empress Dowager
to create a new position, so that everyone here can
select a candidate and compete with Mr. Ha for it.
And this position is...
The Martial Scholar.
This position will be most prestigious!
ln other words,
this time Mr. Ha will really be famous.
Viceroy Yuk. Perhaps you should consult with
everyone here to see how you can nourish him to success.
lf it's done the right way, perhaps he can even
enhance your own reputation!
Are you hiding something from me, Brother Li?
l want to get some pears for you.
Miss Yu!
Master Lau.
And l thought only your fiance is having an affair!
Looks like you, Miss Yu, aren't too lonely either.
Having a secret rendezvous here with Mr. Li Mu Bai.
What are you saying??
Don't you know?
You're still in the dark while everyone else is in the know!
Are you saying that Brother Chau is in love with a whore?
That's right!
A famous one too!
Right, Lady Tse!
They've been together secretly for quite some time now!
Mu Bai.
Master Lau.
Where's Miss Yu?
Now that you've seen it for yourself,
l won't say more.
All l can tell you is that l only like Lady Tse.
Mr. Chau!
l, Yu Shu Lien, am severing all ties with you today.
From now on, we'll have nothing to do with each other!
Master?!
Mu Bai. You used to be so calm and composed
when dealing with all tumultuous things.
Why is your heart not at peace now?
l've been living among the mountains
and have never encountered the real world.
This time, l finally realize that the martial arts world
is indeed a stormy place.
My sole duty was to escort the Green Destiny,
yet so many people are going after it.
lf that's the case, then why did we have to
hand the Green Destiny so readily to Lord Beila?
Looks like l can't hide the secret from you anymore.
The real purpose of giving the Green Destiny to Lord Beila
is to lure the person who has the
Juo Wa Sword and Fist Stance Manuscript out.
The manuscript is presumed lost, therefore
Wu Tang only teaches the internal stances,
which were the ones you studied.
lt's very dangerous to know the external stances
without knowing the internal ones.
l consulted with your clan's leaders to see
how we can prevent a catastrophe.
We decided on using this rather obscure method
to see if we can find the long lost manuscript
and bring it back to Wu Tang.
For those who've learned the external stances only,
we hope we can eventually redirect them.
But if we can't, then we'll have to eliminate them.
Here is a task for you.
You must remove the person mentioned in this letter.
What do you mean by that?
That would depend on how thorough you understand
the meaning of life.
He's not dead?
''KAO LANG CHAU''
What? Master Kao is still alive?
You were there when it happened.
You even attended his funeral, right?
But his body was badly burned.
lt's possible that he might have deliberately
hidden something from me.
Before he passed on,
did he express any special wishes to you?
l wish to be your student, Master!
You remembered?
This was his final wish.
Good.
Really?
Who are you?
You sure know how to act, you brat!
You even claimed to not know kung fu!
Madam?!
You're too much!
l trusted you and you lied to me!
You bitch. You've been playing me all along!
Talk!
You've already learned the stances from the manuscript, right?
That's why you stole the Green Destiny!
l should've known, but l was too naive
and ended up trusting you!
l'm sorry.
You...
Yes, l did lie to you.
But it's not because of what you think.
Even being nice to me was part of your plan.
You took me as a fool!
Listen to me.
l admit that l used you in the beginning.
But, after spending time with you,
l've begun to treat you as part of my family.
Let's forget about what happened and go home.
That's your home!
l've been without a home for a long time!
l don't want to see you again!
Do you really hate me that much?
l'm leaving.
You just watch yourself!
Madam!
lf you encounter any trouble,
just come back to our mansion.
l promise l'll help you.
You should take care of your own troubles first!
l thought l've just seen a ghost.
That was what l originally intended.
The same goes for you too.
Everyone knew that Sister Lieu had been killed
by Ha Jeng Wai.
And l had suspected the truth.
Turns out you and l are both faking our deaths.
Talk about being cunning.
l can never match you and that good student of yours!
What exactly is going on between you, Lung,
and that Ha Jeng Wai?
What Ha Jeng Wai?
He's none other than ''Dark Cloud'', the famed bandit.
What?
And, ''Dark Cloud'' is also Lo Xiao Fu.
He's Lo Xiao Fu?!
He's the son of your good friend Yang Shiu Jai.
lt's been more than 10 years.
He was a child back then.
Now he's all grown up.
He's a bandit and he posed as an official.
Now he even falls in love with the daughter
of his father's killer.
Are they really in love?
They are inseparable!
Actually, Shu Lien is indeed a very rare talent.
The only thing she's lacking is a little bit of luck.
We hope that you, Lord Beila, can take good care of her.
That l already know.
l'm a fair person. l know when to punish,
and when to reward.
l've thought about this.
l've decided to rebuild Hung Yuen Escorts for you.
Then...
Excuse me. Who is Li Mu Bai?
He's up there.
Looking for me, little friend?
Someone wanted me to hand this letter to you.
- Thanks. - Come.
Go get yourself some candies.
Good boy.
Who's that?
Someone that shouldn't be here!
Li Mu Bai! Li Mu Bai!
''THE TOMBSTONE OF KAO LANG CHAU''
Senior?
Little brother.
l'll explain to you later about my ''death''.
But now there's something very important for you to do.
What is it?
You must lose to Ha Jeng Wai in the Martial Scholar contest.
He's actually Lo Xiao Fu.
You and Lo Xiao Fu...
Xiao Fu's real name is Yang.
l'm a good friend of his father, Yang Shiu Jai.
So you two are related then.
Not just the two of us. There's also Viceroy Yuk.
What?
Viceroy Yuk was responsible for Xiao Fu becoming an orphan.
l've always regretted this.
lt would've never happened had l stayed at the village.
But by the time l returned,
the entire Yang family had been slaughtered.
And Xiao Fu's own father was framed as the murderer.
l investigated, and discovered that the real killer
was actually the famed rapist Yang Gung Kao.
He wanted Xiao Fu's mother.
ln order to have her, he went to Viceroy Yuk
and accused Xiao Fu's father of extortion.
Viceroy Yuk fell into Yang Gung Kao's trap
and executed Xiao Fu's father on the spot.
His mother was devastated and took her own life.
Xiao Fu resorted to living on the streets after that.
l ran into him and hoped to take him in with me,
but he ended up leaving his hometown with a horse thief.
That was the last time l saw him.
Viceroy Yuk is deeply remorseful about what happened.
He has constantly told me that
this was the one thing he regretted doing the most.
He's tried constantly to find his whereabouts
and to compensate the Yang descendants for what he's done.
But it was unsuccessful.
''Your own undoing will also be your downfall''
l haven't been able to sleep these past few days.
l worry that the hatred from the last generation
will past on to this one.
Everyone. We're about to begin
the ''Martial'' part of the Martial Scholar exam.
We're privileged to have with us here Li Mu Bai,
the hero from Wu Tang.
Swordsman Li is kind enough to be the opponent
for our finalists.
Bravo!
Whoever that defeats Swordsman Li
will win the title of Martial Scholar.
Please.
Come on!
Li Mu Bai, let's have a good fight.
Fine.
This Ha Jeng Wai is not bad at all!
He's quite a talent now, thanks to you.
l'm already treating him as my half son.
Hopefully, Lord Beila will take good care of him.
But of course, of course!
Get everyone out of here!
Let's go, Lord Beila!
Wait!
Swordsman.
l saw you saving Miss Yu back there.
l believe you and l are not foes.
Swordsman, you're hurt.
Let's not fight anymore.
Cut the crap!
lt's you?!
You want to kill Lord Beila?
Could we be on the same side?
What?
You and l still have things to settle!
Who are you?
Your messenger of death!
Ho Gim Ngo?!
Thanks, little brother.
Senior Kao, what exactly is going on?
This is what's going on...
Tze Chu!
Mr. Kao, No...
Like me, both Meng Tze Chu and Lady Tse
are actually members of a revolutionary group
whose aim is to fight against the corrupted Lord Beila.
That's why Meng has to conceal his true identity
and reject Miss Yu's affection.
He and Lady Tse are not romantically involved.
He's forced to betray his love for Miss Yu.
That's why he had to rescue Miss Yu
when she was in danger.
My life is saved, Shu Lien, thanks to you.
Don't mention it.
Anyone would've done the same thing.
To reward you, Shu Lien,
l would like to take you as my Goddaughter.
Well?
No, l...
You don't like it?
No...l'm not worthy of it.
Well, l say you are.
But...
Shu Lien, it's rare for Lord Beila to be that caring.
Please don't upset him by turning him down.
Think about it.
Both your parents aren't here anymore.
lt must be a blessing from them for you
to have such a good Godfather!
Shu Lien. Are you despising me?
Of course not.
Then go and offer tea to your Godfather!
Come. Over here. Kneel.
Godfather.
Good!
Good, my Goddaughter!
- lt's you! - lt's you!
lt's not even dark yet and both of you are drunk already?
Congratulations to the new Martial Scholar! Cheers!
Good, thanks.
That's it?
l have to drink less from now on.
That's right!
Nothing to be celebrating about!
He has to face the wrath of Viceroy Yuk now!
What are you saying?
You should know!
Tomorrow you'll become the Martial Scholar,
which means that Viceroy Yuk's position will be history.
How are you going to face him and his family?
This is no time for jokes!
Looks like he really doesn't know.
Lord Beila had suggested to the Emperor that the
position of Viceroy be replaced by the Martial Scholar.
And l thought what the big deal was.
Look at you, look at you!
Your eyes are bulging with rage,
and you look like you're about to kill someone.
Don't worry.
Those two were just making things up.
You better not lie to me.
Lie to you?
Who do you think l am?
Listen to me, Ha Jeng Wai.
l know you're very loyal to Viceroy Yuk.
However, starting tomorrow,
you'll be in a completely different position.
You'll take direct orders from the Emperor,
and l've been assigned by His Majesty to watch over you.
l understand.
No matter what, l'll never betray him.
But of course.
l'm leaving now.
Fine.
What a fool! He should know better.
Lord Beila, you may be able to fool him now,
but what about tomorrow?
l've already sent people to look for Ha Jeng Wai.
l'm sure he'll return and explain everything to us.
He'd be too foolish to give up such a good opportunity.
He will come back!
Master!
Fine, go. Next!
Go. Next!
What're you doing here, you little brat?
What are you doing here then?
Don't you know?
l've thought about it.
lf Ha Jeng Wai decides to leave the capital tonight,
then he'll surely pass by here.
So we may be able to find him, if we're lucky!
That's exactly my thought.
''After tonight, l may never see Lung again.
lt should be all right for me to go over and say goodbye.''
Go. Next!
You go that way.
You thief! What are you up to now?
Dammit! Stop!
Halt!
Dammit!
Watch out!
Who are you?
Jade Fox?!
l need to borrow this!
lt's heavy!
You scum! You never change!
You little brat!
Those two cuts were for my parents!
This one was for justice!
And this one will take your life!
Watch out!
Never thought we had a vile bandit living in our house!
What's with Master Kao?
How could he find a thief for a wife?
What exactly is going on?
Why did he have to drag us down
by bringing this witch here?
Do you really want to know the truth?
Tell us, Lung!
lt all started with Ha Jeng Wai.
Actually, l've known him since his days in the desert.
What?
Ha Jeng Wai lived in the desert?
Not only that.
He's also the legendary horse thief ''Dark Cloud''.
He's Lo Xiao Fu??
What are you talking about?
l'm all confused!
Ha Jeng Wai was his alias for infiltrating our mansion.
He's indeed the one and only Lo Xiao Fu.
Have you no shame?? You're a Viceroy's daughter,
yet you choose to be with a thief!
There's never been anyone
that can bring me so much happiness like he did.
You...Shame on you!
Father, he's not as bad as you think he is.
Ever since he's been with me,
he has decided to give up being a horse thief.
He vows that he'll start a new life.
l see it now.
This is all part of his scam!
Jade Fox realized the big trouble she's in
after stealing the Green Destiny.
So she conspired with Lo Xiao Fu.
He pretended to have killed Jade Fox,
so that he'll reap the rewards from her fake death.
Then the two of them can both get a new life!
They're both despicable!
Father, you're wrong.
What?
l'm wrong??
Because Madam didn't steal the Green Destiny.
l did.
You did??
You...why did you have to steal it??
Because we just left the capital at that time,
and l missed Xiao Fu.
l went from utter joy to utter despair.
By stealing Green Destiny,
l got a taste of what it's like to live on the edge.
lt's hard to describe how excited l was!
How can l not be heartbroken
after all these things you've done?
Father, l hate to see you feeling sad.
l know that l've dragged you down by stealing the sword.
Therefore l devised this plan in hopes of pleasing everyone.
But now Xiao Fu has left me without saying anything.
Otherwise l would've been the happiest person in the world,
and you, father, would've gotten the perfect successor.
Lung!
Say no more!
Master, l'm here to bid you farewell.
Farewell?
Where are you going?
What happened?
Master. This is a copy of the Juo Wa Manuscript.
l have written down all of the stances from memory.
Now l return it to you.
l was naive and immature,
and my behavior was a nuisance to others.
But Sister Shu Lien and Master were patient with me.
Please accept my apologies.
From now on, l will no longer practice kung fu.
This will be my last bow to you.
- Lung! - Lung!
Lord Beila.
Mr. Yuk.
You're no longer working. What are you doing here?
Even though l have lost my post,
as a government official, it's my duty to do something.
lf you're so capable, then why did you fall?
l don't understand, Lord Beila.
Everyone knows that you're marrying your daughter out
so that you may keep your standing here.
Miss Yu. Brother Meng's love for you has never faltered.
He was being intimate with Lady Tse
because he had to conceal his identity.
He's actually a member of a revolutionary group.
What does that have to do with me?
ln order for him to avoid exposing his true identity,
he has to first fake his death.
Then, to prevent you from getting involved,
he must force you to go away by staying close to Lady Tse.
He did everything for you!
Shu Lien...
l don't understand.
You tried so hard to make me go away,
but now you come here and tell me this.
ls it because you don't want me to be with Lord Beila?
This Lord Beila is cunning.
He has always wanted to dethrone the Emperor.
l'm worried that something might eventually happen to you.
l don't want to see you get hurt.
After all, you just don't want me to boost
Lord Beila's aggression.
All you care is your revolution!
No, you're wrong.
lt's true that l don't want to see him gain power.
But l've already made up my mind.
lf l have to choose between the revolution and you,
l would rather choose you.
Tze Chu was willing to sacrifice for Shu Lien.
Will you do the same for me?
l'll wait until l bid them farewell.
To accomplish something, one must first
abandon all emotional burdens.
--You and l... --We still have unfinished business.
Once l've distinguished friend from foe,
l will carry out my master's duty.
lt's a deal.
Here, Godfather. Have some tea.
Good.
Shu Lien. l'm here today
because l have a favor to ask you.
l could've just come over to your place.
lt's the same.
Are we alone?
l'm the only one here.
You're the only one l trust.
That's why you must do this for me.
Please tell me.
Good.
l've been looking for an old, wooden box.
This is the emblem that was sculpted on it.
There's something very important inside.
You have to retrieve it for me.
Fine, but where could it be?
l only have a vague idea.
lt should be at...
Some deserted Taoist temple in the city.
That shouldn't be too hard. l can find it.
Good.
As l will be leaving soon, l want to do this
as my way of thanking you for your care and support.
Good. Good.
Let's go in.
Jade Fox! Get her!
Jade Fox, how dare you!
Today is my daughter's wedding day.
Why did you come to stir trouble here?
That's not true, Master Yuk!
l didn't mean to harm anyone.
l knew that today is Lung's wedding day.
l miss her dearly, that's why l wanted to see her.
Spare your nonsense.
Our family has nothing to do with you anymore.
No, no!
That day, when l left here,
she promised me that l can come back to her
whenever l needed help.
Master Yuk, Madam Yuk.
You can ask Lung.
She promised she'd help me!
l wouldn't have cause her any trouble if it's not
because l'm at the end of my ropes!
Madam, she's full of lies.
Don't believe anything she says!
Miss told you that because she's afraid you wouldn't leave!
Yuk Jiao Lung! You're so cruel!
Lung wouldn't protect you, and even if she would,
we will not agree to it.
You, Jade Fox, almost ruined the future of our Yuk family.
Men! Take her to the constables for prosecution!
What are you doing??
Let her go!
l might as well fight you before l die!
- Let her go! - One more step and l'll kill her!
Madam!
Madam, how are you?
Woman!!
Over there! Go! Go!
Madam Kao! You didn't leave?
Why are you still here?
You can stop acting, you slut!
What did you say, you thief?
My eyes have sure deceived me.
l thought you're going to help me.
But your way of gratitude is to let me
fall into my own trap!
l should've known. Whoever that Kao teaches
will always end up being a heartless bastard!
You!
You insult my woman again and l'll tear your mouth off!
Don't you want to know who killed your father?
Tell me!
Talk!
That person was...
Her father!
Yuk...Lui!
Nonsense!
How could my father be his parents' killer?
You...you're lying!
Bullshit! You're just trying to split us up, aren't you??
Hard for you to accept, isn't it?
But that's the truth.
You're lying!
Lo Xiao Fu, let me ask you.
Your real last name is Yang, isn't it?
Your father was Yang Shiu Jai, wasn't it?
Back then, Yuk Lui was under orders
to capture your father and execute him on the spot.
Your mother then committed suicide by taking poison.
Everyone who helped Yuk capture your father knew about this.
lf you still don't believe me, you can ask Yuk yourself!
l'm just afraid that, with her as your girl,
you'll forget all about revenge!
My father really killed Xiao Fu's father?
l, Sister Lieu, had been a liar all my life.
l never thought l'd feel so good by telling the truth!
lf that's true, and you've been hiding it for so long,
then why are you revealing it now?
Why didn't you just keep it in your heart?
Tell me!
Because you've betrayed me!
You and your family wanted me dead,
so now l want you to regret for the rest of your life!
l swear to God that l have never meant you no harm,
and l'll die a horrid death if l have!
l always worry about your safety.
l was worried that you have nowhere to go,
so l left your favorite box of jewelry for you.
Tell me. Have l done anything to harm you?
Lung...
Lo Xiao Fu! Have you gone mad?
Do you remember Yang Shiu Jai?
Yang Shiu Jai?
Who is he to you?
Yang Shiu Jai was my father.
Master!
What's with you?
Please...you must stop him!
Xiao Fu wants to kill my father!
What?
l didn't realize l've mistrusted Yang Gung Kao
until after l've executed your father.
But by then it was too late,
and there was nothing l could do.
From that day on, l swear that l will find the killer.
But l would've never thought that it was you!
lt's fate.
You've lived long enough.
lt's time for you to pay!
Do it!
Master Yuk!
Master! Master is back!
- Master! - Father!
Master is back!
- Master... - Master Yuk...
Father!
Hurry. Put him down.
- Master! - Careful.
- Father! - Master!
- Master Yuk! - Father! Father!
Open your eyes and look at me, father!
Master!
Master?
Master!
MASTER!!
Madam Yuk!
Madam!
Master...
Madam! Madam!
Master...
Let me ask you. What happened to my father?
Did you kill him?
l didn't kill him.
Lo Xiao Fu. You're so cruel!
lt was an accident. lt was a rock slide.
You're lying!
l'm not.
l, Lo Xiao Fu, will never lie to you, Yuk Jiao Lung.
Lung!
Lo Xiao Fu, l hate you!
l HATE YOU!!!
Xiao Fu!
Don't you want to know what's inside this box, Shu Lien?
As an escort, all l care is to finish my duty.
l will never ask about anything else.
Good, good!
Well?
l told you he's all right.
You're still alive??
How dare you attack my Goddaughter?
Take her back to my place. l'll question her myself!
Yes!
Get in!
On your knees!
You've got some nerves, woman.
Have you forgotten that Yu Shu Lien is my Goddaughter?
So what if she is?
l think you care about the lmperial treasures more than her!
Nonsense! What lmperial treasures?
You can stop pretending.
l've already grasped one of the key parts in getting them.
What's that?
l'm not going to give it up without a price!
How dare you!
Just hand Yu Shu Lien over to me.
Then l'll show you the doors to the treasures.
You really know how?
You already have the map and the Green Destiny.
All you need now is someone who knows the Juo Wa stances.
As to who this person is, Lord Beila...
l'm sure you know.
Of course l know who this person is!
But Li Mu Bai may not be easily persuaded.
ln this world, besides Li Mu Bai,
there're two other people that have this manuscript.
Two more?
Yes, and one of them may even be more powerful than Li.
Perhaps they may be willing to work for you.
Lord Beila.
l checked on Chau Cheung Ching.
Turns out that Chau isn't his real name.
His actual name is Meng Tze Chu.
He's the young master at the Meng Family Mansion,
and his name was also on Ho Gim Ngo's list of names.
Then why did he have to disguise as someone else?
Because he's a revolutionary.
What?
Yu Shu Lien's husband belongs to the revolutionary group,
so we should also watch out for her.
And l've been fooled all along!
All this talk about leaving the capital and retiring is a hoax!
How did you know about us here?!
A tip from Meng Tze Chu and Yu Shu Lien!
Without them, we would've never found your secret hideaway!
Go after them!
''MEMBERS' LlST''
Li Mu Bai?
''HUNG YUEN ESCORTS''
lt's off again.
Don't worry. l'll fix it.
Have you found the ladder?
Tze Chu. Have you found the ladder?
Not yet. lt must be in the backyard.
l'll go get it.
TZE CHU!!!
Go!
Tze Chu!!
Tze Chu!
Tze Chu! Are you all right?
Hold on!
ls everything done?
lt's done.
We've carried out his order by killing Meng Tze Chu.
He was right. Traitors deserve to die!
By leaving the group, you become a traitor?
That's not our business. We're only following orders.
Orders by whom?
Who ordered to kill Meng Tze Chu?
Talk! Or l'll kill you both!
''KlLL MENG TZE CHU''
Li Mu Bai?
Li Mu Bai??
Bad news!
Miss Yu and a group of soldiers
took all of our brothers away!
Weren't they in hiding?
l thought so too.
Turns out they're all being charged for Meng Tze Chu's death.
But what's more shocking is that
they all said it was you, Brother Li, who ordered them to kill.
lt's all clear to me now.
This is a plan to not only remove you and the revolutionaries,
but also to recruit Shu Lien under their wings.
lt's like killing three birds with one stone!
Was this really Lord Beila's doings?
Who do you think you are?
l've been waiting here for hours!
When are you going to turn Yu Shu Lien over?
Once you tell me the names of the other two.
Fine. l'll tell you who one of them is
and you can check it out for yourself.
This person is...Yuk Jiao Lung.
Found anything?
We've searched everywhere and there's nobody.
We've even searched the storage room.
We found no one.
Watch out!
Lung!
- Lung! - Don't come near!
l don't want to see you. Leave!
Go away!
My lord...
Tak Luk! Tak Luk!
Are you all right? Tak Luk!
Say something! Tak Luk!
Get out of here!
Miss Yuk.
We're here because we're worried about you.
You can stop pretending!
You suppressed my father. You're a killer too!
Lung! Don't be like this.
Lung!
Let's leave her for now.
Don't you worry.
l'll assign a few guards to watch over her. She'll be fine.
l feel much better now.
Hurry! Surround this area! Now!
You go and tell Sister Shu Lien. l'll stall them.
Sister Lieu?!
You must go!
l can't leave you here!
This is not your business!
Get out of my way!
Who're you to order me??
Dammit!
Are you here to save or to kill?!
She's Jade Fox!
What?
Go, now!
You can't get away!
Lung! Lung!
Tell them to stop fighting!
Go!
Kneel before Lord Beila!
- Kneel! - Kneel!
l was only following His Majesty's orders
to seal off Yuk's Mansion without delay.
l didn't mean you any disrespect, Lord Beila!
l thought you're here to rob the place.
Was it His Majesty's idea to disrespect the dead too?
You should know better. Now get the hell out!
But...
l'll take full responsibility!
Damn fox! You're not going anywhere!
Stop!
Madam! Madam!
She's been poisoned by the venom
she put on her own darts.
She didn't expect this to happen.
At least...it's better than...
dying under the hands of some lowly brats!
This is no time for nonsense!
Where's the antidote?
These...these past days...
had been nothing but sufferings for me...
But...l don't have the courage to kill myself...
But you're not solely responsible for Viceroy Yuk's death!
No one...no one had ever been kind to me...
Except...Lung...
Lung...so bright...
l treated her as if... she's my own daughter...
But...
But l ended up ruining her life...
Now...l don't owe her anything... any...more...
- Sister Lieu! - Madam!
Sister Lieu!!
l wonder what's more dear to you.
The manuscript? Or your own family?
l can find your second brother in Hangzhou,
and l can also bring your mother, big brother,
and sister-in-law from Nanjing to here.
What do you think about that?
- You... - Are you satisfied?
You're despicable!
Their fates are now in your hands.
By the way, Godfather.
l haven't seen Lung at the mansion lately.
ls everything all right?
Of course.
ln fact, she came to bid me farewell just now!
Where is she going?
She's going back to her brother's home in Nanjing.
About the imperial treasures,
l'm certain this is not just a rumor.
Why's that?
Because Jiang Lan Huo told me personally before he died.
You've met him?
He was on his way back to Wu Tang
when he was killed by Sister Lieu's venom.
ln that case, we must not let Lord Beila
get hold of the imperial treasures!
Don't worry.
l know exactly where the map for the treasure is.
This place looks to have been long deserted.
Yes. This is the place.
But l don't know where exactly the map is placed.
l just know that the location is revealed at noon.
Noon? Noon...
Senior!
This emblem was not here before!
DON'T OPEN lT!!
Are you all right?
My eyes hurt! They burn!
Let's go!
He's been burnt by a rare poison from the Wenlan tribes.
- Careful. - Don't worry.
l'll find the antidote, and l'll cure your eyes.
l believe the map is already in Lord Beila's hands.
But how could he know about it?
We have to think of a way to get it back.
l think it's better for me to handle this.
l'll infiltrate Lord Beila's mansion and find the map.
''THE TOMB OF VlCEROY YUK LUl''
Woman...Woman...
- Danger, woman... - Get up!
- Danger, woman!
- Get up!! - DANGER, WOMAN!!
Xiao Fu!
- Danger, woman! Danger!! - Xiao Fu!
Where are you?
- Woman! Woman!! - Xiao Fu!
- WOMAN!!! - Calm yourself!
- Senior! - Xiao Fu.
Well?
Lady Tse thinks that Lung is at Lord Beila's mansion.
What? She's there??
l'm not so sure.
Then what is it? Tell me!!
l believe Lord Beila is keeping Lung at his place.
Dammit!
Let me go!
- Tak Luk. - Yes.
Bring it over.
Yes.
l have a gift for you.
Come.
Take a good look!
l want you to tell me. ls he your second brother?
ls he?
Look closer!
He is, right?
Yuk Jiao Lung. You're the one who caused this!
First there was your father.
Now another family member had died, because of you!
Look again!
l've told you. l meant what l said.
You!
l'll ask you again. Will you give up the manuscript?
Miss Yuk?
Miss Yuk.
Wake up, Miss Yuk.
Miss Yuk!
DON'T!
Don't...don't kill my family.
l'll write.
l'll write now. l'll write...
lt's okay. lt's me. l'm Lady Tse.
Don't be scared.
What happened to you?
l'm on your side. l'm here to help you.
No! You...you're one of them!
This...this is a trap!
- You're one of them!! - Miss Yuk!
Don't be scared. Even if you don't trust me,
you should trust your master, Kao Lang Chau.
Master?
Yes. He knew all about what you're going through.
l'm here to convey his message to you.
He hopes that you and l can work together
and take back Green Destiny and the map from Lord Beila.
No, no! We can't!
We can't! We can't!
Why not?
l'm afraid...
l'm afraid they'll kill my mother!
Madam Yuk?
Miss Yuk, it's me.
lt's you again?!
Haven't l told you not to come here anymore?
What if someone sees you here? You must go!
Miss Yuk, can you please calm down?
Don't worry.
Master Kao has already moved your mother
and your family to a very safe place.
Master?
That's right. Here. Read this and you'll understand.
- This is Master's handwriting! - Yes.
Miss Yuk...
Tell Master that l'll do as he told.
Shu Lien.
Godfather.
Why do you want to see me?
Did something happen at your place?
No. l just saw Lady Tse leaving your mansion.
Are you close to her?
Why?
Godfather, don't you know that
Lady Tse is conspiring with Li Mu Bai?
Really?
So that's why!
How do you like the cake?
You didn't come here to ask me that.
So this is it!
Good! Good!!
That's all? l can drink more than that!
Good. Cheers.
Lord Beila. Lord Beila?
Come. Hurry!
Lady Tse. You stay here and watch over him.
You're getting Green Destiny by yourself?
Woman! Are you all right?
Master! l knew you're still alive.
Lung, l've made you suffer much. Forgive me.
Look, Master. They're both here!
Good. Very good.
Lung, where's Lady Tse?
She's still inside, taking care of that animal.
Master Li, what happened to your eyes?
l...
We can't stay here. We'll talk afterwards.
That's right. You should go.
l'll stay behind and wait for Lady Tse.
Fine. Be careful.
l will.
Let's go.
Talk! Who sent you?
l'll never tell you!
That's strange.
How come they're still not back yet?
Master, could something have happened to them?
l'll go.
- l'll go with you. - No!
l think Lady Tse can take care of herself.
Besides, there's not much we can do now
if she really is in danger.
Just the three of us?
Don't be scared! Li and the others should be dead by now!
What if they're not?
Those poison powder from the sword would've paralyzed them.
- We can easily overpower them! - Yes!
Senior Kao!
Senior Kao! Xiao Fu!
Who are you?
Who are YOU?
Sister Mei Hua. He's Li Mu Bai. He's with us.
Sorry. You're the one whose eyes need to be cured?
Surround them!
Oh no!
What now?
Take good care of them. l'll take care of the rest.
Li Mu Bai?! You...
Are you here to challenge me?
You told us he's poisoned, brother Tak Luk!
Now what do we do?
Then...
Get more help if you want to win me!
Dammit, l'm not scared!
You're only pretending. Charge!
What the hell...?
Tell your Lord Beila
that we'll never give up! Leave!
Go!
Lord Beila!
What is it?
Li Mu Bai and the others are still alive!
Really?
Have a seat, Miss Yu.
Lord Beila will see you in just a moment.
Fine.
--Have some tea, Miss Yu. --Thanks.
How are they doing?
Xiao Fu has already recovered after taking the antidote.
Senior Kao is also doing fine.
However...As for Yuk Jiao Lung...
Satisfied?
Satisfied? l'm more than satisfied! What joy!
You bitch. l finally have you now!
Then tell me who the other person is.
Kao Lang Chau.
How could he do this to Miss Yu? She was loyal to him!
Oh no!
Damn! l have to save her, but l can't expose myself!
So you want me to help you take care of things
that you personally can't.
You needed a place to stay anyway.
lsn't this better for you?
What about money?
Not a problem.
Who's this for?
What did it say?
''Ho Gim Ngo has taken Yu Shu Lien hostage.
There's not much time. Please save her.''
Who sent this?
Don't know. There's no name.
We must save her!
Little Brother! This could be a trap from Lord Beila.
l've promised Miss Yu that l will always protect her.
l must not put her life in jeopardy even if this is a trap!
Your eyes are not fully recovered. We should plan this out.
- No! There's no time! - Little Brother!
l've also brought a gift for you and your men.
What gift?
A lady, a female escort.
You can do whatever you want with her.
What happened?
l don't know. l just passed out.
You gave me quite a scare.
l'm so sorry.
You must have been exhausted.
Well? Are you satisfied?
She's quite a beauty!
Her hands are small and her skin is silky smooth!
Are you sure she's an escort?
Ho Gim Ngo!
Li Mu Bai?!
You witch! l will kill you!
Lady Tse! Lady Tse!
Lady Tse, why did you do this?
My chastity is ruined... l can't live in shame...
But you don't deserve to die!
Li Mu Bai! How dare you!
l will not let you live!
Who's there?
Dammit!
Li Mu Bai is hurt!
What about Miss Yu?
Miss Yu was all right to begin with!
Look at you. Your injury was the result of your impatience.
How can you achieve great things?
So what if l can't?
l can't stand it anymore.
You can stand watching your friends get hurt, but l can't!
But Miss Yu was not harmed, right?
Miss Yu is fine.
But...Lady Tse...
What about her?
She was raped, and she killed herself!
Mr. Kao!
You're still recovering. You must remain calm.
Lord Beila is now looking all over for Mr. Kao.
You all must be careful. Take care!
LORD BElLA!!
You left the mansion. How come l didn't know about it?
l wasn't aware that you're looking for me, Lord Beila.
l...l was only visiting... friends...
ln that case, should l go visit your friends too?
l heard that some of them are injured.
You may be a timid rat,
but turns out you're pretty loyal too.
You've also got some nerves, Lau Tai Bo.
How dare you lie to me?
Beat him!
Not bad.
Those stances were not for you to see.
There are still many faults in your moves.
You can spare me the teachings, Senior.
l've decided to return to Wu Tang to continue my studies,
and this sword will be put away for good.
lsn't that a pity!
This world is too complicated.
And there are those who is willing to use and sacrifice
everyone around him just to achieve his goal.
No matter he's being righteous or wicked,
he's still being selfish and heartless.
There's no humanity left here,
and l don't want to be drowned in this decadence.
Am l really that bad in your eyes?
Yes, l was upset by Lady Tse's death.
But l must suppress my emotions to avoid injury!
Even at such a crucial moment, you're still able to
look at the big picture and remain composed.
l'm afraid l can't do the same.
l used to admire and respect you, Senior,
but now l'm befuddled by your actions.
Lady Tse once said to me, '' To be able to see things clearly,
you must first drown yourself in pools of cloudy water''.
l guess now l must leave the cloudy water
and return to clearer things.
Look at you. Are you sure you can leave this world?
You're only hiding from it!
How do you know what's clear and what's not?
Whatever you say.
This is the last stance on the Juo Wa Manuscript,
and also the most powerful one.
Whoever that uses it will destroy all things!
Destroy all things?
Then why did you teach me, Senior?
Because l know l've found the right person.
l've never seen someone as smart and bright as you.
l just hope that your feelings won't get in your way.
Li Mu Bai, you will achieve great things.
Just let me take care of the little ones!
Senior...
Perchance, we shall meet again.
Kao Lang Chau?
l am.
l've long admired you.
However, you should also know that
it's not easy for trespassers to leave my mansion.
l am not trespassing. l have invited myself here.
Besides, l have no desire to leave.
Because it will take time for me to teach Lord Beila
the Juo Wa stances.
Good, Mr. Kao! You've got a sharp tongue too!
l'll be frank.
l'm here for Yuk Jiao Lung and the antidote for her poison.
But l've already got the Juo Wa Manuscript.
How can you call this a fair trade?
Because the manuscript from Yuk had been altered by me.
What?
lf you practice her version, it will only damage you further.
l don't know what you're talking about!
l advise you to trade with me before it's too late.
l'm here to help you simply because l have a favor to ask you.
Fine. l'll trade with you then.
Give Lung the antidote first.
Once she's all right, then l'll give you the manuscript.
Tak Luk.
Yes!
Give him the antidote.
Yes!
Go and save Lung. Hurry!
What about you, Uncle Kao?
Xiao Fu, promise me to be good, and take good care of Lung.
Mr. Kao, l've kept my promise.
lt's time for you to keep yours and teach me the stances.
But l don't have the manuscript with me.
l know that. The manuscript is in your brain.
So write it out and give it to me.
l'm now the only one who knew how to retrieve the treasures.
And, because of this, you'll never have the chance.
What?
NO!!!
Get up! Get up!!
GET UP!!!
What have l done? Tell me!
WHAT HAVE l DONE??
What happened to you?
Have you been sitting here all day?
Where l've been and where l'm going is no longer important.
What are you talking about?
Don't you know? Senior Kao is dead!
He killed himself at Lord Beila's place.
No wonder.
He told you that already?
Doesn't matter. He's already dead.
Why are you so cold-hearted now?
He died for my woman, and he died for us!
Kao is not the only one we should be mourning over.
What are you saying?
Remember what he said?
There're always sacrifices in a revolution.
You...you've gone mad!
Get up! GET UP!!
Li Mu Bai! What's with you?
Have you been possessed?
l'm still myself.
Really?
Then what happened to the Li Mu Bai l once knew?
l've already drawn the line between now and my past.
You want to draw the line with the past? lmpossible!
You've studied so much and read so many books,
but what have you really learned?
lt was all utter nonsense!
Perhaps you're right. Just let it be.
You have all gone mad!!
''TO: Ll MU BAl''
Miss Yu!
Master Lau! What happened?
Master Lau!
Master Lau, are you all right?
l was badly beaten by that bastard, Lord Beila.
Why?
Miss Yu, please don't trust him anymore.
Lord Beila is the most evil of villains!
Do you remember that day
when you fainted at his mansion?
Yes.
He wanted you as a bait to persuade Ho Gim Ngo
to tell him who has the manuscript.
He realized that you can be easily manipulated,
so he handed Lady Tse instead of you to her.
Ho Gim Ngo thought she's gotten you,
so she had Lady Tse raped by a group of foul men.
Poor Lady Tse. She killed herself out of shame!
Miss Yu, please don't work for that animal anymore.
Otherwise, you'll end up doing his evil deeds as well!
Master Lau!
Master Lau! Master Lau!
Please believe me. Leave him.
Lord Beila is not to be trusted.
Li Mu Bai is innocent all along.
He was framed by Lord Beila.
Really?
l'm dying. Would l lie to you?
Master Lau! You can't die!
''FUNERAL TABLET OF MENG TZE CHU''
lsn't this the box that Godfather was looking for?
''TO: KAO LANG CHAU. FROM: MENG TZE CHU''
''Mr. Kao. l've decided to leave this troubled place with Shu Lien.
This will be the last thing l did for everyone.
This box contains the actual map to the imperial treasures.
l've secretly switched the map given to Lord Beila,
so that it won't fall into the wrong hands.
The one you're holding now is the real map.
l don't want to hurt Shu Lien's feelings,
therefore l didn't reveal this to her.
Now that you have the real map, l hope you'll use it wisely.''
Lord Beila.
l've told you not to disturb me!
Lord Beila. l found three letters on Lo Xiao Fu.
lt was written by Kao Lang Chau
for him, Yuk Jiao Lung, and Yu Shu Lien.
Come in!
Yes!
Lord Beila.
You can leave now. Go.
Yes!
''To retrieve the imperial treasures, one must combine
all Five Elements-Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, and Soil.
The Five Elements pertain to the individual's own fate line.
Lo Xiao Fu is Fire, Yuk Jiao Lung is Wood,
and Yu Shu Lien is Soil.
lt's rare to have people with such fate lines come together.
Once they join with someone with the fate line of Water,
then with the gold Green Destiny sword,
they can easily open the lock to the imperial treasures.''
Let Yuk Jiao Lung go.
What's with you?
You've been fooled!
Yuk Jiao Lung never went to his brother's place,
Li Mu Bai didn't kill Meng Tze Chu,
and Lady Tse died for me.
And you were behind everything!
So what?
Are you here to settle the score?
Godfather, it's still not too late.
Please stop.
l can't!
Why?
l would rather die than having that tyrant as Emperor!
lt was precisely your ambition that caused all this...
Lord Beila!
Yu Shu Lien. Do you know what your greatest fault is?
You don't ride the tide of success.
Perhaps in your eyes l am being stupid,
but l will never do anything that betray my heart!
Lord Beila, thanks for your care and support.
l'll never forget them.
Lady Tse!
lt's me. lt was all my fault!
Brother Li?
''You can't undo what's already done''
l should be the one who deserve to die.
Please, kill me.
Please, kill me!
lt's not going to help things.
You must be tired.
Lord Beila?!
Go to hell!
You're wasting your energy.
Painful?
Just kill me!
So you can forget it all?
l won't let you have your way!
l'll make sure you live so you can regret it!
You'll never succeed!
Then what about Yuk Jiao Lung and Lo Xiao Fu?
You...you let them go!
Sure. Let's come up with a settlement.
What do you want?
Help me retrieve the imperial treasures.
Brother Li.
You're here again.
ls everything settled?
l need you to help me with one thing.
l don't want to get involved anymore.
l just want to return this to its rightful owner.
l can't do it alone. l need your help.
What is this?
The map to the imperial treasures.
Where did you get this?
lt's all my fault! Please hand it to His Majesty.
Then the map that's with Lord Beila...
lt's a fake.
Meng Tze Chu switched them before he died.
You dare to give something this important to me?
You're the only one l trust, and the most capable.
Even l don't trust myself anymore.
Then why are you...
l trust you completely.
''Little Brother. When l wrote this letter,
l was deciding which of the four people
l should pass my internal energy to.
There were you, Lung, Xiao Fu and Shu Lien.
By fate lines, you four are Water, Wood, Fire and Soil.
Together with the Gold that is Green Destiny,
you all hold the key to retrieving the treasures.
Perhaps it was fate or destiny
that tie the four of you together.
All of you have your strengths.
l've always hoped that Lung can succeed,
but in terms of rank and gratitude,
she has yet to surpass you.
As you know, l decided to pass the energy to you.
l hope that you will not disappoint me.
Little Brother, with your talent and skills,
you're more than capable of defeating Lord Beila.
However, your greatest enemy is still yourself.''
Brother Li.
Miss Yu.
Who would have ever thought that the four of us
hold the key to the imperial treasures?
l finally understand why Lord Beila needed my help.
But if one of us doesn't appear, then his plan will fail.
But Lung and Xiao Fu will appear. lt's up to you and me.
You have to appear.
Why?
You can lure Lord Beila out, and l can defeat him.
But he's more powerful now than before!
That l know.
As long as the four of us unite, we'll win for sure.
Not to worry.
l'll go back to his mansion and alert Lung and Xiao Fu.
- Fine. We'll wait by the woods. - Yes.
Miss Yu, my life is not worth saving.
You shouldn't risk your life for me. Just let him kill me!
Don't forget, Lo Xiao Fu, that your life belongs to me!
l know.
- Brother Li! - Master!
Looks like you have improved a lot lately.
Thank you.
This map...
lt's a fake.
Dammit!
Give me the map!
l have the map. Come and get it!
Brother Li...
Li Mu Bai. l will always defeat you.
This is it!
This sign is...
The gold symbol. Yuk Jiao Lung is Wood,
Lo Xiao Fu is Fire, and Yu Shu Lien is Soil.
You don't have Water, and Li Mu Bai is Water.
Surprised?
My fate line is Water too.
That's why l'll succeed even without Li Mu Bai!
What exactly is going on?
To open the door to the treasures, one must unite
the energy of the Five Elements.
We are Fire, Wood and Soil.
l never thought that he is Water.
Maybe God is blind after all!
Too bad. All you have is Water.
You don't have anything else!
He needs our energy.
We must not use any of our kung fu here.
Yu Shu Lien!
You're no longer the lord here!
What are you up to now, villain?
l have time! l can wait for another 3 to 5 years
while l train others of equal fate lines.
Then l can come back here and get the treasures.
No! Don't fall into his trap!
How can you still be so calm right now?!
But of course.
Everyone around her had suffered much.
Lady Tse was raped and took her own life,
while she is still alive and kicking.
That's enough!
Don't forget. There's also her parents,
and Meng Tze Chu.
lt was my idea to kill everyone close to you.
But most importantly, Li Mu Bai and you
will never be together for the rest of your life.
Knowing that gives me great pleasure!
Lord Beila! l've never been against you!
Why are you doing this?
Because that's what l like to do!
You...
l'll revenge for all the dead by killing you!
Now that's my Sister Shu Lien!
Let's combine our forces and hit him with all we've got.
We only have one chance!
As long as we can kill this demon,
l'll die with no regrets!
Good!
''You're finally here!
What you see here is the most important treasure to you.
Your dream will come true as long as you are sincere.
This is what this treasure is all about.
lt helps you achieve your dreams.
This energy has been here for more than 500 years.
During this time, it has grown into a mightiest force.
Whoever that absorbs this energy will become
the most powerful and invincible person in the world.''
Back away, you fiend!
You can come back to me after l've become Emperor.
ln your dreams!
So you want to die? l'll grant your wish!
Miss Yu!
Lung! Xiao Fu!
Miss Yu!
Brother Li...is this real? Or am l dreaming?
lt's real.
- Mu Bai... - You're still alive...
Hang on!
Li Mu Bai! You're still alive?!
Lord Beila!
lt's Your Majesty! On your knees!
You're possessed.
No. This is my willpower.
lt has now been raised to its highest level,
and l'm now invincible.
Your willpower can be strong if it's controlled.
But you have been blinded by desire.
Now it has become a demon that controls your heart,
and your body is now its slave.
Are you crazy? You just can't stand me becoming Emperor.
lt's not too late.
My first duty as Emperor will be to execute you first!
Please repent and leave here with us.
Li Mu Bai, go to Hell!
You'll never learn.
Brother Li!
Die, Li Mu Bai!
Glow! Glow!
NO!!!
Li Mu Bai!
What now?
He'll never win. l have confidence in Brother Li.
Right. Let's use our last remaining strength to support him.
- Master - Mu Bai.
We support you.
Senior Kao, Uncle Jiang.
l'm about to use the last stance.
Please give me guidance
and let me carry out justice once and for all.
How can this be?
This is your predestined fate.
You lost to your own evil thoughts.
By holding on to them, you end up having nothing.
You could have had it by just letting it go.
l understand now, but it's too late.
Lord Beila...
l knew it all along...
You are indeed extraordinary.
lt's an honor for me to have died under your hands.
Let's go.
There are still so many things l want to say to you.
Our misunderstandings and our wishes. But now...
You're getting better.
We're almost healed.
However...Sister Shu Lien...
l've tried my best, but...
Well done, Mu Bai.
Master.
All of those who know the Juo Wa stances
had all met their fates... except one person.
''TO: Ll MU BAl''
Once you've carried out this task,
you would've completed all of your missions.
Think of how you would settle this.
l'll wait for your return.
You're lying!
l'm not! Stop hitting me!
What is it?
ls that all you're going to eat?
Master is acting strange.
Let's read the letter.
Master. l'm willing to accept punishment for Wu Tang.
Li Mu Bai. My woman and l are one and the same.
lf you must kill, then kill me!
Kill me so you can return to Wu Tang!
Xiao Fu, this is none of your business!
Of course it is, woman!
Master can't go back to Wu Tang until this is settled,
and l can't go back to the desert with you.
l don't care, woman! You're mine!
l never want to separate from you!
Wu Tang Kid! Kill me if you must!
Xiao Fu! Xiao Fu!
Xiao Fu!
Xiao Fu, Xiao Fu!
Li Mu Bai! l'll kill you!
Xiao Fu!
Xiao Fu! Stop! Stop fighting!
Stop fighting!
Xiao Fu? Xiao Fu!
Xiao Fu!
Master, please let him go.
l started everything, so you should only punish me.
Woman!
Master!
Lung, it's about time you settle with Wu Tang.
Mu Bai!
Master!
Be quiet! Concentrate!
Lung! Show me!
Thank you for your teaching, Master.
Woman! You've succeeded!
When we're locked in Lord Beila's place,
you told me you're afraid of one thing the most. What was it?
l'm afraid that l'll never find someone to watch over me.
Never thought Yuk Jiao Lung would want someone to watch over.
So who can that person be?
You, idiot!
