Day Will Break - by Yoga Lin You Jia
♫ The wind is whistling, dawn hasn’t yet broken, the night is too cold ♫
♫ People part and scatter, dreams are hard to imagine ♫
♫ Yet in every chest, the fire is more ablaze ♫
♫ How much does the mortal world morph ♫
♫ In exchange for the insanity of numerous individuals? ♫
♫ Sooner or later, the chaotic world will catch up ♫
♫ It’ll be too late to feel pain then ♫
♫ Let the darkness be so dark that it engulfs all hope ♫
♫ Only then can we find the light within our blood ♫
♫ We are that lonely, yet also that restless and stubborn ♫
♫ Let the darkness be so dark that it loses all sense of direction ♫
♫ Only then can we feel who is still by our side ♫
♫ Together, we will wait for that one, ♫
♫ Distant yet satisfying daybreak ♫

The Legend of Qin {Episode 10}
Xiao Gao, I--
Deputy Chief,
I, Gao Jianli, am not a fool. I know very clearly what you wish to say.
I only pretend not to know. I fear that if we put it out in the open,
I would lose my last ray of hope.
Deputy Sect Leader.
Xiao Gao.
Are you all right? Wake up. Wake up quickly.
- You are? - We are Mohist disciples. I'm sorry. We came too late.
Take them with us.
Save my Deputy Sect Leader.
And Wei...
- What do we do? -Let's take them with us first.
Da Ren, after several days of treatment, how do you feel?
I'm much better.
Mr. Gui Gu.
Why are you here?
I came to get my disciple.
Disciple?
Didn't you swear that you wouldn't accept any more disciples?
That's true.
The unification of the States is now the unstoppable trend.
The tactics of war will soon lose its value.
So I swore to never accept another disciple.
However, now that Leader Ji has encountered a mishap,
I'd like to use my last days to do something for my old friend.
This time, Seven Killing Sect suffered a great misfortune.
It was directed by the King of Qin, Ying Zheng.
Da Ren is the only heir to your Seven Killing Sect.
Ying Zheng will not let him go.
I have been friends with your Sect Leader for years.
I can't just watch from the sidelines.
If we want to let Da Ren live without fear of being attacked,
I think the best approach would be to change his identity.
I believe that the title of the last disciple of Gui Gu should have ample credibility.
Therefore, I want to take Da Ren with me. I will take him as my disciple and change his name.
After my death, he can reappear in the world under my namesake.
Then no one will recognize him as the Deputy Leader of the Seven Killing Sect.
Xiao Gao, if you are not willing, I can...
Deputy Sect Leader, everything Mr. Gui Gu has stated is true.
It's true that I would like to rebuild the Seven Killing Sect with you.
But for your sake, this is probably not the best idea.
You are honorable. Please accept my respect.
You...What are you doing? Please get up.
I commit our Deputy Leader into your hands.
Deputy Sect Leader,
How is it in the valley?
I've already buried my Master. I wanted to mourn for him for three years at first.
But on his deathbed, he ordered me to leave the valley quickly.
It's good that you left. Leader, I have made a lot of preparations these years.
I've also developed a surefire plan.
I've just been waiting for you. I've planned it all.
First, we'll gather our scattered members. We must do this secretly during this phase.
We cannot mention the name of Seven Killing Sect. Otherwise, Mr. Gui Gu's
effort to conceal your identity will all be wasted.
-Xiao Gao. - Sect Leader, please instruct me.
I'm afraid I cannot join you.
Why?
Several months ago, Jing Ke of the Mohists came to see me in the valley.
They wish for me to enter Xianyang Palace under Gui Gu's namesake to act as an agent for them.
Agent? What are they trying to do?
Prince Dan of Yan and the Mohists want to assassinate Qin.
What?
Did you agree?
Deputy Sect Leader, how could you--
Do you know how risky this attempt is?
If something happens to you, what will happen to the Seven Killing Sect? What will happen to me?
Xiao Gao, I was thinking
that rebuilding the Seven Killing Sect won't happen overnight.
If I can assassinate Qin, I'll be able to avenge my father.
Were you really thinking of avenging the Sect Leader?
Fine.
It's up to you.
If you can avenge the Sect Leader, this will be a good thing.
Avenging the Sect Leader.
Yo knew that once you brought up that reason, I would have no way to refute you.
But I also knew that you were going to Xianyang Palace to escape from your duty.
It's okay. I can play dumb,
pretend not to care. I can help you do everything you don't want to do
because your father recognized my worth and showed me kindness,
and because the Seven Killing Sect is everything to me.
- Xiao Gao. - You went to Xianyang Palace of your own choice.
I went to see Jing Ke and Prince Dan.
I forced them to promise that you wouldn't be hurt because of the assassination attempt.
You stayed in Xianyang Palace for 13 years without any news.
For the sake of the Sect, I went everywhere alone, lived under the roof of strangers, suffered discrimination and assassination attempts.
Did you know this?
I don't care that you ran.
Hardships and suffering, I couldn't care less!
For Seven Killing Sect, I am willing to do anything.
You can keep watching from the sidelines. Just as long as you sit on the Sect Leader's position in the end.
Have you ever thought of the possibility that I don't want to be the Sect Leader?
What did you say?
Xiao Gao,
what destroyed Seven Killing Sect was not Elder Bao,
but Ying Zheng's plan.
Elder Bao only acted as his lackey.
Even without Ying Zheng and this disaster, the Seven Killing Sect would have gradually disappeared.
When my ancestor Ji Shao Yi created the sect, the world was in constant dispute.
It was only because of that chaos that Seven Killing Sect was able to develop and expand.
All of the feudal lords secretly leveraged the strength of the Seven Killing Sect to gain dominance.
And afterwards, Seven Killing Sect was able to reap benefits from those feudal lords.
The Seven Killing Sect was once glorious.
Wen Zhong, Wu Qi, Sun Bing, Fan Li, Su Qin, Zhang Yi.
These heaven and earth shaking figures all came out of Seven Killing Sect.
But how about today? Unification is the natural trend now. There is no room for the Seven Killing Sect.
Every ruler will regard Seven Killing Sect as a serious threat.
A hundred years ago, Seven Killing Sect gradually helped the State of Qin expand,
but when Qin gained the ambition to unite all the states, it began to see the Seven Killing Sect as a threat.
This was what troubled my father.
He said it over and over again every day. I could not forget about it even if I wanted to.
Actually, Qin State had been secretly weakening our power. When it was passed to my father, it had long been spent.
That ploy was their last move.
And now, the world has been united.
There is no reason for Seven Killing Sect to continue to exist.
It has passed away. We should just let it rest in peace.
You can't let go. I won't force you to.
But I
- have already let go. - You shut up.
I can tolerate you running,
your willfulness,
but I can't stand the way you talk about Seven Killing Sect.
You can't use this grand excuse for your lack of action.
How can you say that the Seven Killing Sect is unfit to exist in this world?
My leg has been crippled. As a cripple,
as a cripple, I am trying to rebuild the Seven Killing Sect. But what about you?
I've worked my heart out, holding on all alone,
but you?
Yet all of you able people watch from the sidelines, and even advise me to let go!
How can you do that?
When you die, how will you explain this to your father in Hades?
When I die, I will explain it to him myself.
Fine.
Fine, you explain it to him.
That's not my concern.
I am telling you, that from now on,
whether I, Gao Jianli, am dead or alive, I will have nothing to do with you!
I swear I will have my revenge. I will spill the last drop of my blood for Seven Killing Sect. I will die with that traitor.
- Xiao Gao. - Have you said enough?
Gao Jianli. Your wishful thinking is just too laughable.
Who do think you are? A great hero?
You are just a stubborn fool.
However, I don't wish to put up with this infamy for no reason.
I will help you this one time.
I will help you infiltrate Sir Yan Chun's residence.
Xue Nu.
If I don't do anything, wouldn't I be fulfilling his wish?
At that time, whether you commit suicide or take your revenge, it's up to you.
Then you'll stop blaming us for watching from the sidelines.
How is that?
- Fine. - Gao Jianli,
Remember. This is the last time I'm doing anything for the Seven Killing Sect.
From now onward, anything concerning the Seven Killing Sect,
any person,
will have nothing to do with me.
Fine. Once will be enough.
Have you really made up your mind?
I've made up my mind. I will help him.
I'm sorry. Not only did I fail to help you persuade him,
I also made things worse.
You know that that's not what I'm talking about.
I've always bragged that I had severed my ties with the Seven Killing Sect. But if I had really done so,
why couldn't I leave him behind?
Earlier, I called him wishful and stubborn.
He isn't the only fool here.
I'll let go.
He'll let go of the past, and I'll let go of him.
Instead of acting like fish trying to help each other stay moist in a drying pond,
it's better to seek out new environments in other rivers and lakes.
Please come in.
This way please.
- Thank you, thank you. - You're welcome.
Greetings, Leader.
Master Yi,
it's been over a month since I sent you here.
Speak. What's the situation?
My Lord, the person you had me observe
hasn't made any unusual movements.
However, I saw two old friends.
Who?
18 of the Black Unit. Her current name is Xue Nu.
She is the distinguished boss of Snow Princess Court in Luoyang.
The other one?
It is the former elder, Gao Jianli.
Greetings, Sect Leader!
What is it?
Sect Leader!
You-!
- Sect Leader! - Sect Leader!
Why did you harm the sect leader?
Good. Very good.
Since everyone is gathered together, we can have some fun.
Then shouldn't we make our move soon?
Staying idle everyday is making my entire body uncomfortable.
Don't rush. We lie idle
to wait for the best opportunity.
Our goal isn't small. If we wish to achieve this in one fell swoop, we'll have to put in some effort.
Ge Nie, Jing Tian Ming, plus the two mentioned just now are only four people.
Are we supposed to be afraid of them?
No. There is one more.
Who?
Him.
Sir Yan Chun's residence.
I've been searching for him for so many years, and always failed to find him.
It turns out that he's been living here.
Could it be...Elder Bao?
Correct.
That year, he used me, tricked me.
I must get revenge.
You've searched for so many years without any clues. How did he get here?
Actually, I should have known earlier.
If a person disappears inexplicably, and if he weren't dead,
then he must have a strong force that's hiding him.
Just tell me what you want.
Firstly, I will continue the mission. Ge Nie is mine.
Secondly, you aren't allowed to hide anything from me from now on.
Thirdly,
you must help me find someone.
Just as expected. Zhao Gao responded very quickly.
Many years ago, he concealed his identity and changed his appearance with the help of the State of Qin.
Now he has become the powerful Sir Yan Chun.
Very well. Everyone is gathered here. That makes things easy.
I've already disposed Mo Yu Qi Lin to infiltrate Sir Yan Chun's residence.
Very soon
my plan to kill two birds with one stone will be fulfilled.
Is your injury better?
You've returned.
What is it?
What else could there be?
It's been ten days since she promised me. Apart from saying every day that she has a plan, she hasn't done anything else.
It could be that the time isn't right yet.
Since you've decided to work with her, you should trust her.
Trust? If you want others to trust you, you must have something to show for it.
Xiao Gao!
Starting from tomorrow, I'm going to Snow Princess Court to watch her anyway. Let's see how long she'll dawdle.
What is it? You're not saying anything. Want to help?
Can we still chat in the future?
Enough. I wasn't expecting you to go with me from the start.
I'm tired. I'm going to sleep first.
Two buns, here.
Buns! Freshly made buns!
Warm buns!
Buns!
Try some plum wine! It's a family recipe.
Our homemade plum wine!
Fortune telling! Fortune telling!
If you want to know the will of heaven or earth.
If you want to know when the Emperor of Heaven will descend to earth.
It's him. Xiao Zhuang, you're here too. - When you die, whether you'll go to heaven or hell.
Tell me the truth. Do you not want to help me?
You're wagging your tongue again.
If you want to help me, why do you keep delaying like this?
Delaying?
If you hadn't acted rashly and alerted the enemy,
why would Sir Yan Chun even reject me request to visit him?
Since he didn't accept my visit request, I obviously can't enter his residence.
If I can't get into his mansion, how will you get in?
You're unreasonable.
If you hadn't stopped me to start with, I would have cut off his head long ago!
-An idiot really is an idiot. He only sees what's in front of him. -You-!
Miss! Miss!
What are you in such a rush for? Where are your manners?
Please don't be angry, Miss.
What is it?
- The request to visit Sir Yan Chun has already been-- - Rejected, hasn't it?
I say, what's the point of arranging people to put up this act every day?
If you don't want to help me, then tell me! Don't waste my time!
How many times have I told you? If he won't accept the visit request, then keep sending them until he accepts!
Must you report this matter to me every day?
No, Miss. He accepted your request to visit this time.
Really?
Really! He said that tomorrow he will send a carriage to take you there.
This is great!
Xiao Gao. Today, on the street I-
Good news. I can finally enter the residence of Sir Yan Chun.
-What? -He accepted the visit request. He'll send a carriage to get her tomorrow.
At that time, I will hide in the carriage and sneak in with her.
This...Is this safe?
I can't be bothered about that much. Success and failure hinge on one fight. There are still many things to prepare.
Xiao Gao!
Fortune Telling! Fortune Telling! If you want to know the will of heaven or earth.
If you want to know when the Emperor of Heaven will descend or when you will get married.
If you want to know if you'll go to heaven or hell after dying.
Fortune Telling! Fortune Telling! If you want to know the will of heaven or earth.
If you want to know when the Emperor of Heaven will descend to earth.
If you want to know when you're getting married. If you want to know if you're going to heaven or hell after dying.
Why is my heart pounding so fast?
What is it?
I feel like something is wrong. It's like something bad is going to happen.
If you're afraid, you can go back first. You'll spare me from your rambling.
Who's afraid?
Isn't that childish?
Why didn't I scare you? That's not fun at all!
It's because I'm used to it.
Oh, cut it out.
I know. Ever since you lost your power, you've been out of your mind.
You're the one who's out of your mind.
If you weren't out of your mind, why couldn't I scare you?
- That's because you're too clumsy. - Clumsy?
Then let me ask you! In Ghost Village, who was the one that I scared so much he pissed his pants and fainted?
Who fainted? I wasn't careful enough and hit my head, that's why I fainted.
Then let me ask you this. If you weren't scared, did the rock fly by itself to hit your head and knock you out? You were acting like this too!
Don't eat me! I'm so scared! Help me!
Tian Ming! I'll fight you!
- Get in here! Get in! - No no! Big brother!
- You're laughing at me? Get in here! - I was wrong! No! Don't!
Get in here!
You stinky brat! Get in here!
You brats! Can't you be quiet for a while? I was just reading. You're so loud you're making my head swim!
Did you think that I wouldn't cut off your tongues?
Those are new clothes! Do you two want to die?
- It's his fault! It was you! - It's his fault!
- It was you! - It wasn't me! - Stop fighting! Get out of there.
Clean your own clothes. If the clothes aren't clean, you aren't allowed to have dinner!
Sister Rong, something feels strange about the dye house.
It feels a little different from before.
Stop imagining things. Hurry up and clean!
Why did we stop? Has something happened?
Let's go.
Where did he go?
Let's go in and see.
Elder Bao?
Long time no see.
Yes. Long time no see.
You are 18 of the Black Unit, right?
I heard the Leader say it, but I didn't think you'd be even prettier.
What is she saying?
All of them were once assassins of the Gate of Death. Just like me.
Gate of Death?
Elder Gao.
Do you still recognize me?
It has been a long time.
I have been thinking a lot about you and him.
Once you enter the Gate of Death, you'll become a ghost.
Once you adorn this mask, Wei Zhuang will no longer exist in this world.
Actually, I've always thought that you are the best choice for the successor of the sect leader.
Elder Bao, this...
In what way do you not measure up to that useless son of his?
He actually made you take over the Gate of Death.
The Sect Leader is truly unfair towards you.
You know about this too?
This is a secret.
Young Master Xiao Zhuang, I am a founding member of the Seven Killing Sect.
Even your adoptive father has to call me Senior Brother.
Then what is the meaning of you saying this to me?
Do you not want to be the sect leader?
If you want to, I will use all my power to help you.
At the start of the next month, it'll be the annual conference to discuss official affairs.
All the elders and branch chiefs will gather at the meeting hall.
I will prepare everything for you first.
This wax pill holds Xi Shi poison. Once inhaled, it'll temporarily limit a person's martial arts.
The opportunity will only be there for an instant. You must make a prompt decision.
You must take him by surprise. As long as you seize the Sect Leader, the aides I put in place will take action.
Then we will force the Sect Leader to concede his position to you in front of everyone.
Greetings, Sect Leader!
Get up.
Sect Leader! Sect Leader!
Sect Leader!
You-!
Sect Leader! Wei Zhuang, what are you doing?
Don't move! Stand down!
Wei Zhuang! Have you gone crazy?
Young Master Xiao Zhuang. You did well!
- Elder Bao! - Sect Leader!
Sect Leader! Sect Leader!
Sect Leader!
Why did you kill him?
- Why did you hurt the Sect Leader? - I was tricked!
Wei Zhuang! Hurry and save the Deputy Sect Leader!
There isn't anything special about me.
If I have to say one, then it is definitely that I will always get revenge!
Okay. Now the grudge between him and me is settled.
It's time for you and me.
I know what you want to say.
You should understand that in that sea of fire, I could only save one person.
Go!
Go! Go!
Xiao Zhuang! Xiao Zhuang!
Let's go!
Help me!
Xiao Gao!
Actually, I didn't want to give up.
It's just that I was powerless,
but I have no regrets.
If I had to choose again, I would still save Deputy Sect Leader.
Sorry.
Well said.
Elder Gao. Truthfully, I should thank you instead.
If not for you, I wouldn't have known despair.
If not for that misfortune, perhaps I still would have been that naive young boy.
18..Oh, no. I should call you Xue Nu now.
Xue Nu, all our siblings from the Gate of Death
are now under my command in Ju San Liu Sha.
I'm you giving you a chance now.
Are you still willing to come back?
Thank you for your kind intention but I won't go back.
Even if you have changed the name, you are still doing the exact same thing as you did in the past.
I don't wish to have a single thread that links me to the past.
Fine. I gave you a chance and you rejected it. Don't blame me then.
Then all I can do is send you both on a journey to Hades.
You have wonderful foresight. Your plan to kill two birds with one stone succeeded.
...know the will of the Heaven and the Earth. Know when the Emperor of the Heaven will descend.
Do you know if you are going to heaven or hell?
Do you want to know your marriage fate, whether you will strike it rich and when?
Ge Nie already found me.
Sister Rong, why are we back here again?
It's very strange.
Why are you back here again? I'm getting annoyed just watching you.
Why did we come back here again?
Don't think too much about it. Let's leave now.
This resembles that..Qi- Qimendunjia.
It's that whatever Zhang.
- Zhang Liang. - Zhang Liang's Qimendunjia.
You think only Zhang Liang can cast this spell? So can I.
There was a hermit named Huang Shigong who had god-like knowledge.
Master Yi had the good luck to become his disciple.
However, Huang Shigong could tell in one glance that he was dishonest man,
so he wasn't willing to teach him everything.
But after learning a few simple Qimendunjia spells,
Master Yi betrayed his master and joined the Gate of Death of the Seven Killing Sect.
- Who touched my butt? - It wasn't me.
Someone touched my butt again.
- It wasn't me. - It wasn't me either.
-Yue Er, help me! - Tian Ming!
Are you all right?
