Chief, this man is the good friend of Elder Kuk.
Undo the voodoo immediately.
It can't be done because he was poisoned
He is so weak, when I undo the voodoo
He won't be able to take it and will die.
Cure him immediately or I'll kill you all.
One minute, kill him. Another, cure him.
You should listen carefully to what the Chief says
Once he's dead, nothing can be done.
She will blame you all your life.
You can safely breach the Sect's rules from now on.
Thunder over the hills. Undying through the centuries.
The Hills! The Heavens are upon you.
Don't disturb your Inner Energy. Listen to my calming tune.
Your playing is even more unsettling than his Inner Energy.
Talk about undying. It's dead in one stroke.
My one arm, in return for one life.
Evil Cult.
Venomous snake flips its tail.
Mad snake spits venom.
Dragon extends claws.
An iron claw too!
we are about equal in our weapons.
Must undo the voodoo.
Take this.
You shameless evil woman.
You block my way, scoundrel.
Leave Ling.
Leave your life.
How dare you go?!
Scram.
Take this.
Get down.
Now it's you and me. Come on.
Still laughing?!
The fatal ice.
Poisonous bees!
You evil black magic practitioners.
Recall the bees.
Or I will kill all of you.
I am sending you to hell, compliments of elder Kuk.
Your Eminence.
Au Yeung has brought the men from Wah Mountain.
Tell the scouts to hide themselves.
The Guards to disguise themselves as servants.
Hurry.
Cheng Biu, Lee Yee. Yes, Your Eminence.
Bring me the clothes quickly. Yes, Your Eminence.
Hurry.
Uncle. Uncle?!
We haven't seen each other for 4 to 5 years.
Thank you for coming all the way to help us.
Ngok, Grand Master of Wah Mountain School.
He insisted on coming to meet you.
He has something to discuss with you.
How come there is no mourning for the dead. Strange.
Our family wants to keep a low profile,
to avoid vengeance of the enemies.
But we do mourn within our hearts,
instead of mourning openly.
We are forced to do so.
Let us all pray to Master Lam.
We will vow together.
To the heavens above.
Heavens above
We will take vengeance, blood for blood
We will revenge and kill our enemy
Dear Master Lam, may you rest in peace
May we find the murderer
Let us pay our tributes to the heavens
Once
Twice
Three times
We will pay our respects to Master Lam.
Once
Twice
Three times
Is it a Lam tradition not to return the respects?
Thank you for your kindness
Once
Twice
Three times
Your Eminence.
What are you up to?
That old fox
is forcing me into marrying his daughter.
Where is Ling?
I've killed him with poison.
Where is the Sacred Volume?
I haven't found it yet.
The treasure is under the water wheel?
Who is it?
Take this.
You scoundrel. Stay put.
Don't try to get away.
Take this.
You want to get away?!
Sword Energy!
Are you from the Wah Mountain School?
Downward Sword stance.
What stance
Teacher.
Wah School's fate depends on this.
Don't say you saw me.
Where did he go?
The Sacred Volume.
Thief! Who cried out thief?
Where's the thief?
Senior.
Careful. Lots of scouts outside.
The entire Lam family here could be impostors.
Everybody take great care.
Who is it?
Teacher, it's me, Luk.
Something going on down below.
Come in, Luk. Kneel down and swear.
Take this hand scroll, get on a horse & leave.
It is a mission which will determine our school's fate.
You must not let this secret out, even if you die.
Yes, Teacher.
Kiddo.
Been keeping alright?
What? What is it?
It's the Sacred Volume, very important. Confidential.
Why do you look so mad, Kiddo?
So what, turd!
Turd?!
We were supposed to meet at the forest!
Wasn't Ling poisoned?
Get him.
You're mistaken.
I'm not a thief.
I was shouting to get help.
See if your family treasure is still there.
Nonsense. You are involved with the Sun Moon Sect...
the murderers of my family.
Did you mention the Lam family treasure?
What do you mean?
Take him.
Yes.
Why him? He is the only remaining Lam descendant.
He is?!
There are plenty more. Not his turn yet.
Did you say you know where the treasure is?
I promised his father to tell him only.
After I told him, I forgot everything.
If you want to know, ask him.
Don't let him cause us to suspect on another.
Spare me!
You have strict family rules.
We should stay out of it.
Teach him slowly.
The river water does not disturb the well water.
Let's ask Teacher to pack up. We'll go home.
Farewell.
Take this back. No need to see us off.
Ling.
Weren't you shouting 'thief'?
Yes.
Then why didn't you get him?
I was not good enough.
You are the Wah School's most senior student,
if you couldn't catch him, who can?
Unless it's your own Teacher.
What nonsense. Absolute rubbish!
Why are you all kneeling down? What are you up to.
Inner energy like flowing water, inner peace...
To restore your Inner Energy.
With such a lot of shouting
you should have heard us, Grand Master Ngok.
Why were you so late in coming?
Where is the thief?
Don't listen to Ling shouting his mouth off.
He always likes to stir up a commotion.
You have seriously broken our School's rules.
You are no longer my student.
Leave at once.
Father. Teacher.
Wait.
Not a single person here tonight is permitted to leave
Each home has its rules; each country, its law.
This is our internal affair. Stay out of it.
You want to talk about the law.
Excellent. The law then.
Officers...
Present.
Take off your disguises. Prepare for the formal edict.
Yes, Your Eminence.
Kneel down, traitor.
Ngok, kneel for the Royal Edict.
Ngok, prepare to receive the Royal Edict.
The Court is in need of able men. By the powers invested in me,
I now appoint you my personal Security Officer.
From now on, you work according o my instructions.
I am most unworthy of such a task.
Nonsense.
If you refuse, you show discontent with the Court.
That's sedition.
Do you have Inner Energy and Inner Peace now?
I am quite aware of loyalties.
Now that you are under my command,
disobeying me is disloyalty to me and
is sedition to your country.
Punishable by death.
We also have a practice. Any newly commissioned officers,
must kowtow 1000 times to me.
Commence to kowtow.
Ngok, one thousand resounding kowtows.
Kowtow!
One.
Two.
Three.
Four.
Five.
Six.
Seven.
Sir, we have caught a man in camouflage
It's Luk.
Your Eminence.
Let's see how you deal with this, Officer Ngok.
Traitor,
stealing from the Lam family is stealing from the Imperial Court.
I'll cut your wrists and destroy your martial arts.
Bring me a sword.
Move away.
This does not belong to the Court.
It is a music score given to me by an elder
called The Hero of Heroes.
If you do not believe me
I'll play it for you.
You can sing-along if you like.
The seas laugh, lashing on both shores.
Carried in the waves, we have only the here and now.
The heavens laugh, at the troubled world
Only they know, who is to win and lose.
The mountains laugh, the rain is afar.
when the waves grow old, the world still goes on.
Don't sing it.
Ling and Luk have betrayed us by joining the Sun Moon Sect.
They have betrayed our School.
According to our School's rules,
we have to destroy their martial arts and send them away
to appease our predecessors.
Prepare for it.
Go ahead, my fellow students.
I am proud to be able to sacrifice for my School.
Even if I died, I would be proud of it.
Don't be stupid and sacrifice unnecessarily.
You want to make trouble?
You want me to destroy your martial arts training too?
The Wah Sword Position.
Yes, sir.
Careful.
Be careful.
You be careful too.
The 7-sword position.
Is everybody alright.
Let's go.
Go for it.
Here we come.
Let's go.
Junior is down there.
Are you alright?
Fine.
Father.
Teacher.
Let's them go. You can destroy our martial arts.
Losing my face to outsiders.
We have so many students
So what if you are destroyed!
Dad.
Let them go. I've got what you want.
Catch her.
Lost it.
You...
Don't worry. I've come to cure your Senior.
Disobey me! Go to hell, all of you.
Go to hell!
Can't die.
It's dangerous. Come over here.
Save your life for our school.
Hide behind me.
Dad.
A two-headed snake!
Ngok, you hypocrite.
Just like this snake. You have two heads.
Being under my command, you dare usurp me!
You Court people always have the last word.
You always say what you choose to say.
Your Teacher will not let you go free.
He has sold out on all of you.
If you want to live, you have to fight a way out.
Protect her and escape.
Hurry!
Give me the Volume.
I'm so powerful. You can't fight me.
I am taking the scroll to see the Emperor.
Tribute to the heavens stance.
Untie me, quickly.
Untie me.
The Sacred Volume.
Who are you anyway? Messing around with me.
Didn't you know? I am from the Sun Moon Sect.
Kiddo, up there.
You youngsters. You have no idea what you are up against.
If you get away from me today?
I will write my name backwards.
Good, I'll help you write it.
Senior.
Why are you still coming over. Go.
Old eunuch.
You will write your name backwards.
If I don't kill you,
I'll write my own name backwards.
The Sacred Volume...
No problem.
So many dead, so much blood shed.
The Volume is unstained. I am secure now.
Stop.
Lam Ping Gi.
I am not Lam. I am Au Yeung.
Your Eminence, kill them all.
Your song was very amusing.
You think you can laugh at anything
But there are things which cannot be laughed at.
Laugh out of place and you can lose your life.
So I am the one who laughs last.
I always remember, once you are in my command,
if you are disloyal, there is no other way.
I will have your head for it.
The Sacred Volume.
He turned out to be the most laughable person.
Do we go back to Wah Mountain now?
Can we go back?
We may end up like these Highlanders, always roaming the land.
Your scroll,
I found it from the heap inside.
Here you are.
The Sacred Volume.
It's just the score for The Hero of Heroes.
You disobey me. Take this.
A student fighting his Teacher. Disgusting.
I am not your student. I'll fight you.
I just want to ask you one thing.
Cut the bullshit.
Who is Elder Fung?
He is a very senior elder in our School.
You are but a shameless student,
your rank is too low to ask about such matters.
What rank? He and I are pals.
I am two generations you senior.
What? You dare discuss ranking with me?
It's not a matter of rank.
How can you lie and betray so many people?!
Our School cannot be sacrificed for one man's ambition.
Your traitor. I will make an example of you.
Your sword Energy is only about 30% of mine.
If you can come within 10 feet of me, we'll fight.
The wavering sword!
Roll...
What stance is this?
The 9 stance of The Solitude Set.
Dad.
Let him go free.
You have broken all his inner muscles.
The Wah Mountain School is not his alone.
Sacrificing so many people for personal power
He is the true traitor.
