I heard Prince Ruyang intends to wipe out all Sects.
He's using Cheng Kun's strategy.
Ming Sect is his first target.
We knew Cheng Kun was out to eliminate us
but we didn't expect he'd collude with Yuan.
There's no news of him since the explosion at Bright Peak.
He's our biggest threat.
It was you! You! You must be the culprit, Fan Yao!
What useless allegations are you making?
Zhao Min's men attacked Shaolin, right?
Yes.
Was it you who turned the Shaolin Arhats round?
Her Highness sent men to inscribe the Arhats
to frame Ming Sect.
I sneaked back and rotated the Arhats.
Heroes.
Let's befriend the Six Sects and fight the Mongols.
We must rescue the Six Sects.
That's difficult unless we get the antidote for
'10-Fragrance Muscle Weaken Powder', to restore their energy.
Fan Yao is right. But how do we get the antidote?
The Xuanming Elders hold the poison and antidote.
They take turns guarding the poison and antidote.
It'll be hard to steal from two kungfu experts.
What pastimes do the Xuanming Elders have?
Lu Zhangke likes women, He Biweng loves wine.
Is there a drug inducing weakness
similar to 10-Fragrance poison?
It's easy to induce weakness and drowsiness.
I have an idea I hope you'll consider.
Please tell me.
Did you find him?
Princess, there's no sign of
Ku Toutuo in Wan'An Temple.
How'd he just disappear?
Princess, look!
Where were you? Get up!
You're not lying?
Did anybody spot you tailing Zhang WuJi?
So you found their hideout?
Fine. If you told the truth, I wronged you.
But if you dare lie, you'll lose your head!
You three, assemble our men and await my orders!
Yes!
Take me to Zhang WuJi's hideout!
Princess, Zhang WuJi did stay in this temple.
- How many men? - About twelve. They just left.
Zhang WuJi is getting more cunning.
Chief has foresight.
I nearly gave myself away rashly.
Master Ku, I wronged you.
Masters, we'll move into Wan'An Temple.
Be wary of Zhang WuJi!
Yes.
Trouble.
We must move into Wan'An.
This conflicts with Chief's plan.
I have no way to inform him. What do I do?
Move aside...
Move aside.
Hey, Big Brother.
Come and look at my new items.
- No. - I'll sell it cheap.
I don't want one.
Just 3 cents.
- Bat King. - Come in.
Chief, you were right.
Zhao Min searched the temple where we stayed.
I'm glad to hear that.
We left the temple to cover for Fan Yao.
Our rescue plan can go ahead.
It's done, Young Master.
Tamp it into this wood cork.
Who'll give it to Vanguard Fan?
I will, of course.
What's this?
A drug.
Doesn't look like it.
It's Chief's idea. Watch.
The drug is hidden here.
Tip the calabash to mix the drug and wine.
Chief is so brilliant.
I have a message for him.
Princess ordered me and the Xuanming Elders
to move into Wan'An Temple to guard the Six Sects.
All the sect experts are here?
This is tricky.
Shall we postpone our plan?
No! Delay will cause problems.
It won't make it easier.
We'll strike tonight and catch them unawares.
Okay, follow the plan.
See you then!
Shameless! You're laughing and crying!
Shameless! A man bullying a delicate girl!
A delicate girl?
You're more cunning than ten men!
Thank you for the praise.
I can't accept it.
You...
- You may go. - Yes.
Zhang WuJi won't give up his rescue plan.
He must still be in Dadou.
But where is he?
Zeng A-Niu!
Chief, let me go with you.
Chief.
This trip is very dangerous.
And I'm rescuing people who aren't Ming Sect.
It's best you stay away.
If I come to harm, you can lead the Sect.
My decision is final.
Let me know if if you hear from Bat King or Fan Yao.
Yes.
[ Wan'An Temple ]
What excuse can I have to drink with He Biweng?
I can't think of anything.
I must cause a delay while Chief does his part.
I must think of something.
(cooking meat desecrates Buddhist Wan'An)
You arrived in time! So you love dog meat too!
Dog meat goes well with wine.
- Right... - Here it is!
Master Ku.
How is it?
What's wrong with you?
Oh, yes, yes!
- His wine is better! - Here.
- Here, go for it... - Go for it.
Good wine!
Dig in!
Are the Xuanming Elders around?
My plan won't work without them.
Help yourselves!
Eat...
Why didn't you include me in this feast?
Master Ku, you like this too?
We have the same tastes.
Here, here, go for it.
Try this exotic wine from Master Ku!
Here, here, go for it.
Where's Ah Da?
It's his turn on watch.
Great! We can enjoy the night.
Cheers!
Good wine!
Let's dig in!
I knew you'd pee!
Cheers!
Brother Ku.
What's this exotic wine?
It's fragrant, mellow and soothing!
Great wine!
Thanks, Senior He.
Forget seniority.
Drink up!
Wait! Cheers again!
Here, go for it...
Meat!
- No more meat? - I'll get more!
He's drunk!
Ah Da!
Ah San. My gut's crook.
I've been poisoned!
Master Ku, what is it?
We're poisoned by 10-Fragrance Powder?
Senior, spare us Brothers!
We didn't offend you!
I'm weak all over from the poison!
Only the Xuanming Elders guard that poison.
Right...
It's obvious you poisoned us.
Master Ku, control yourself.
We're all good friends.
I didn't plan to harm you.
And I'm poisoned and weak all over too!
I admit I carry the poison
but I didn't poison you!
Someone set me up to harm us.
Right, get the antidote, then hunt down the culprit!
Master Lu has the antidote.
Master Ku, come with me.
Brother...
Go! Comb all Dadou to find my beloved concubine!
- Go now! - Yes!
Prince, I found footprints on the roof.
On the roof?
Someone abducted my Han Shi!
Who is it?
Brother, it's me. Open the door.
What's the big fuss?
I'm training. Let me be!
It's an emergency! Open up!
What is it?
We're all poisoned! Give us the antidote!
Quickly!
It's 10-Fragrance Powder! Give us the antidote.
How'd it happen?
No idea. There's no obvious reason.
But aren't you guarding the poison Powder?
True! I can't figure it out.
We four were enjoying dog meat and wine
and got poisoned.
Give us the antidote!
Fine. Let me see.
You're not poisoned!
You...!
You stole the Prince's woman!
You can speak!
Why'd you pretend to be mute?
Prince Ruyang ordered it.
The princess was wary of your skills.
She suggested I act mute to watch you.
I've been loyal to Prince Ruyang for years, but he...
Hold it! You obviously lied!
Why'd I believe you?
That's not my concern.
The prince's beloved is here.
Lu. You're so brave today. You can't sidestep this.
A wise man acts according to circumstances.
What do you want?
Master Lu, you won't want this matter exposed.
I won't mess up your life.
I will remain mute.
As for those two men,
I'll kill them for you.
It's no problem.
I knew you were awake.
What will you do to me?
Master Lu, there are two ways to handle this concubine.
One, kill her, Ah Da and Ah San in a remote place.
No one will ever find out if we act ignorant.
Two, hide her in a secret place.
Whether the secret gets out depends on you.
Thank you for considering my plight.
You must have a motive for helping me!
Master Lu, you saw into my intentions.
Alright, it's a disgrace but I'll tell you.
I had a relationship with E-Mei Priestess Meijue.
The pretty Miss Zhou is
our illegitimate daughter.
So you violated the rules too.
I said it's a disgrace.
I'm making great efforts to save my woman and daughter.
Please hand over the antidote and let them off.
I'll repay your kindness.
It's understandable you want to save your lover and child.
Anyway, this great beauty is worth the risk.
Fine, I accept the deal despite your trick.
Here's the antidote. Take it.
Why's there so little?
It's enough to save seven people.
Why be such a miser?
Please give me more.
Are you trying to save more than just two?
Why do you think that?
You're imagining things.
I want more antidote for me in case of your scheming.
- Over here! - Yes!
The footprints end here! Go!
It's the Prince's bodyguard!
Is Master Lu there?
Master Lu!
What's the matter?
The prince's concubine was abducted.
The abductor's footprints
end in this yard.
No lady and no abductor here!
Stop making a din! Get out!
Lu is a tough man.
Let's report to the prince.
Sorry we disturbed you.
Let's go.
They're gone. Be calm.
I'll be done for once the prince arrives.
You needn't fret.
Wan'An Temple has hiding places.
Why not hide the beauty there?
Once trouble is over, get her back.
Great idea!
Kungfu masters are locked up in the pagoda.
Who'd expect the prince's woman to be there?
Get the picture now?
Let's make a move while it's quiet.
I.....
I understand. I can't stop half way.
I'll escort you to the pagoda.
Good!
Move!
Master Lu, Master Ku.
We're taking a look.
This way.
You needn't come.
Yes.
Princess, my respects.
Big trouble.
Stay calm.
My respects, Princess.
Master Ku, I'm looking for you.
Go somewhere with me.
It wasn't easy to trick Lu to go to the pagoda.
This girl is in my way.
How can I turn her down?
Master Ku, what are you carrying?
Master Lu, what's he carrying?
It's his bedroll.
Bedroll? Why do you need that?
Are you leaving for good?
Ming Sect made trouble today.
We fear they'll try again.
So Master Ku and I will move into the pagoda
to ensure all goes well.
Master Ku brought a bedroll.
Good! I wanted you on guard, but felt bad about asking.
I'm glad you're willing.
With you two around,
Ming Sect won't have its way.
Hand Master Lu the bedroll. Come with me.
Can't part with it?
- Come on. - I'll wait for you.
Little beauty, you're safe.
I'll be good to you.
No, I can't unseal your acupoints.
I'll be in trouble if you scream.
Little beauty, I'll be with you
once my task is done.
To ensure Master Ku Toutuo keeps this secret,
I need to do him a favour.
I might free his lover and daughter.
Since the Ming Sect Chief caused a fuss over Zhou Zhiruo,
I'll put the blame on him
for rescuing the nun and the girl.
Right. The princess won't hold me responsible.
How'd she find out where Chief stays?
She doesn't seem to be spoiling for a fight.
Today in Wan'An temple,
her encounter with Chief didn't look like enmity.
Is she smitten with Chief?
Why'd she ask me along instead of the Xuanming Elders?
Oh, she thinks a mute can keep secrets.
Why are you smiling?
She's resourceful to track Chief quickly.
Looking for lodging?
No, we're seeking Master Zeng.
Master Zeng?
His name is Zeng A-Niu.
Oh, he's in our best room.
Please tell him Miss Zhao is looking for him.
Alright.
Young Master, be careful.
I will.
Luck has always been with me.
I'm setting off.
- Zhu YuanZhang. - Here.
We'll go to Wan'An Temple with your men.
But Chief...
I'm not rescuing anybody, just going to Wan'An.
It's not against Chief's order.
Yes.
Sir, a Miss Zhao is asking for you.
She's really something to find you so fast.
Sir...
I'll be there.
Young Master, surely you won't meet her in this attire?
I only brought one man
but you have a group.
Afraid I'll do you harm?
Zhao Min might've seen through Fan Yao's disguise
and is confronting me.
What's on your mind?
You suddenly came to see me. I'm surprised...
Cut it out. Let's talk in a more convenient place.
Chief...
I can handle Zhao Min alone.
This might be a trick.
Fan Yao will aid me.
Zhang WuJi! Coming?
- Open the door! - Yes.
You, and you! Come with me!
Don't harm my Teacher!
Such a loving mom and daughter!
What did you say?
Come with me!
Teacher! Teacher!
Teacher...
What do you want with us?
Were you struck dumb?
Why are you quiet?
I'll scare this foul old nun.
My master is irked by your stubbornness.
I'm instructed to kill you!
Save yourself the trouble!
Get me a knife, I'll do it!
You're determined to die?
Get me a knife!
Scoring points? Fine.
You'll mock me if I don't fetch a knife.
Wait here!
Teacher, we're captives. Why do we...
You know I'd rather die than submit.
Zhiruo, as your Teacher,
let me ask one question.
Ask, Teacher.
Do you like Zhang WuJi?
I.....
I saw your reaction on Bright Peak.
No, Teacher.
Is that the truth?
Yes, Teacher.
Fine. If that's the truth,
I want you to swear an oath.
- An oath? - An oath.
Ming Sect is our arch-enemy.
My Heaven Sword has killed many of its evil members.
Ming Sect hate me to the core.
Zhang WuJi is Ming Sect Chief.
I want you to swear to heaven
that you're telling the truth.
Or else leave E-Mei Sect!
Teacher, don't expel me!
As a member of E-Mei Sect, go on your knees now.
Swear it!
I don't know what to say.
Alright. Listen.
Say: I, Zhou Zhiruo, solemnly promise...
if I ever fall in love with Zhang WuJi...
or become his wife,
my late parents won't rest in the netherworld.
My Teacher Miejue's ghost will haunt me.
If I bear Zhang WuJi any children,
all the boys will be slaves,
all the females will be prostitutes.
Swear it!
I'll swear it.
I swear it.
I, Zhou Zhiruo, solemnly swear...
if I ever fall in love with Zhang WuJi
or become his wife...
my parents will have no peace in death.
My Teacher's ghost will haunt me.
If I bear Zhang WuJi any children...
the males will be slaves,
the females will be prostitutes.
Thank you.
You must be wondering why
I'm treating you to hotpot.
Maybe you think it's a plot.
This wine is poison free. Drink without worry.
Miss, come to the point.
Relax, talk later. I want to drink with you.
Come on, drink more.
You don't trust me, so I'll sip from each cup.
You put a curse on yourself.
Don't break your oath.
Get up now.
Zhiruo, I didn't want to force you.
I have your interests at heart.
You're so young, and I can't look after you anymore.
You must not follow in Ji XiaoFu's footsteps
or I'll never rest in peace.
Besides, I entrust you with E-Mei's revival.
You can't afford blunders.
E-Mei 4th generation disciple, Zhou Zhiruo...
Kneel for my order!
I, E-mei 3rd generation leader, Priestess Miejue,
now pass leadership to E-Mei 4th generation, Zhou Zhiruo.
Zhou Zhiruo, accept the Iron Ring.
Put out your left hand.
Zhiruo, you're now E-Mei 4th generation leader.
Lu Zhangke should be asleep after passion.
It's chance to kill him
and grab the antidote.
Lu Zhangke.
You're fated to die.
Don't blame me.
Do you know who I am?
I want to tell you the truth.
My father is Imperial military commander, Prince Ruyang.
I am Mongolian.
My name is Minmin Temur.
My title is Princess.
Zhao Min is my chosen Han name.
Why are you looking at me?
You seem to know my identity.
No, I didn't know.
But your command of Wulin masters at a young age
meant you had unusual status.
Master Zhang, I have a question.
Answer honestly.
What if I kill your Miss Zhou?
What will you do?
She never offended you.
Why would you kill her?
I kill anybody whom I dislike...
even if they don't offend me.
But I spare some people even if they offend me.
For example, didn't you offend me?
Miss Zhao, I had no choice.
But I'm grateful you saved Third and Sixth Uncles.
Aren't you muddle-headed?
My men injured Yu DaiYan and Yin Liting.
Why thank me, not blame me?
Uncle Yin was hurt over 20 years ago, before your birth.
He was injured by my dad's men, who are my men.
It's no different.
Don't digress! Answer me.
What will you do if I kill your Miss Zhou?
Will you avenge her by killing me?
Young Master Zhang.
Chief Zhang.
Honestly, I don't know.
You don't know? You just won't answer!
I saw my parents driven to suicide.
I knew it was done by Shaolin, Huashan and Kongtong.
But as I grew, my reasoning grew.
I don't know who killed my parents.
I can't blame Reverend KongWen or Mr Iron Zither.
I can't say it's Grandfather or Uncle Yin.
Nor Ah Da, Ah Er, Ah San, or the Xianming Elders.
The intricacies of fate are beyond comprehension.
If I call them murderers and kill them all, what do I gain?
My parents won't come to life.
Miss Zhao, I've been pondering.
Wouldn't it be good if people stopped killing and became friends?
I won't kill in revenge.
I hope others won't kill and harm.
It's strange.
Though I thought about this,
I never told Yang Xiao, or Grand Teacher...
or anybody close to me.
But in this tavern, I'm pouring out my heart.
I feel weird telling you this.
Beware, poison!
Just a joke.
If I wanted to poison you, why'd I wait till now?
You were getting sad.
I wanted to lighten the mood.
Sometimes I can't tell if you're speaking truth or lies.
I'll tell the truth.
Master Zhang, your kind heart forgives those who wronged you.
I could never do that.
If anybody kills my dad or brother,
I'll kill all his family, relatives and friends,
everyone related to him.
None must live!
I'd stop you.
Why'd you side with my enemy?
For every life you take, you'll suffer guilt.
Your victim knows nothing in death.
But his parents, siblings, wife and children will grieve.
Your conscience will hurt.
My godfather is an example. He took many lives.
Though he never said so, I know he's guilt ridden.
Have you killed anybody?
In time, I'll kill many.
My ancestors are Genghis Khan, Tuolei, Badou,
Xuliewu and Kublai Khan, all heroes.
It's a pity I'm a woman. If I were a man,
I'd accomplish great things!
You didn't answer my question!
About Miss Zhou?
Cut the act.
If you kill Miss Zhou or anyone close to me, I...
What will you do?
I'll no longer be your friend.
I'll never see you again
nor will I speak to you.
That's an interesting answer.
Zhang WuJi, in your eyes am I a friend?
If I hated you, I wouldn't drink with you.
Somehow I find it hard to hate anyone.
I hated Thunderbolt Hand Cheng Kun.
But now he's dead, he's nothing to me.
If tomorrow...I suddenly die..
would it matter to you?
You'd surely say, 'Thank Heaven!'
'My wicked, wilful enemy is dead!'
You'd be spared trouble. Right?
No. I don't wish you dead.
You mean it?
When Bat King threatened to disfigure you,
I was anxious for you.
Don't make it hard for me.
Please release the Sect Masters, and let's all be friends.
Good! I hoped for that.
Your words as Ming Chief carry weight.
Tell them to surrender to the Court.
My dad can ask the Emperor to reward you all.
The Emperor and his officials are incompetent and malicious.
They caused our people's misery.
Ming Sect duty is to drive out the Mongols!
How dare you impugn the Imperial Court!
Are you rebelling?
I am a rebel. Didn't you realise?
