The Yao Clan, here for Clan Leader Jiang.
-Please get up. -Clan Leader Jiang.
Who did such a brutal thing to Clan Leader Yao?
CLAN LEADER YAO YAO CLAN
Clan Leader Jiang,
the Yao's disciples...
After going through great loss,
they ran back to Pingyang from Qishan
but were still slaughtered by the Wen Clan.
We, the Yao Clan,
have now been exterminated.
Clan Leader Jiang,
since we escaped from Qishan,
the Wen Clan hunted us down which led to the massacre of the Yao Clan.
We are the only two left.
The Clan Leader was severely wounded for protecting us.
We had a narrow escape but had nowhere else to go.
Clan Leader Jiang, we need your aid.
Please help our clan leader.
Father.
Wen Ruohan has ordered
to track down the disciples who escaped from Qishan
and exterminate their clans with no exceptions.
We, the Yao Clan, were isolated and weak
and never intended to contend with the main clans.
I never imagined that we would be exterminated like this.
Just focus on healing first.
Since you're already here,
we, the Jiang Clan of Yunmeng, will try our best to protect you.
Thank you very much, Clan Leader Jiang.
You're welcome.
Get a suite tidied and treat Clan Leader Yao's wounds.
-Understood. -Understood.
Come.
Clan Leader.
Clan Leader Jiang.
Father.
Now that the Wen Clan has shown their fangs,
I don't think they will spare us so easily.
As for Clan Leader Yao and his follower,
I'm afraid Lotus Pier is not safe for them either.
I was just thinking about this.
Wen Ruohan is rampantly slaughtering cultivation clans.
At this moment,
I assume only the Jin Clan of Lanling stands a chance.
But the Jin Clan...
Clan Leader Jiang.
Jin Zixuan is somewhat a decent person.
Even if the Jin Clan doesn't rebel against the Wen Clan officially,
as long as they are on our side,
I don't believe that the Jin Clan
will just sit there and watch the disciples of other clans
fall into the Wen Clan's hands.
I see.
That's right, Father.
For rescuing Xian,
I went to Lanling for reinforcements
with Young Master Jin.
That being the case,
I shall depart tomorrow
and escort Clan Leader Yao to Lanling.
-Father, let me go with you. -No.
Cheng, Xian.
You two shall stay and guard Lotus Pier.
Yes, Clan Leader Jiang.
YUNMENG DOCK
I'll be away for a few days.
During my absence,
you have to follow Cheng and Xian's instructions.
Be diligent. No slacking off.
Got it?
-Yes, Clan Leader. -Yes, Clan Leader.
Father, please rest assured.
I'll manage to defend Lotus Pier with all my efforts.
Clan Leader Jiang, Yanli.
Please come back soon.
Take care along the way.
Of course.
Let's go.
Li.
Li, come here.
You came to say goodbye this morning,
so I brought something for you.
These are snacks made by Madam Liu.
You can eat some in case you're hungry.
This is the medicine for rheumatism.
If you...
If someone is attacked by his headache again,
tell him to take it.
Thank you, Mother, on behalf of Father.
Don't bother.
I'm thinking about your health.
The journey to Lanling is very dangerous.
Be careful.
Now go.
Father.
Let's go.
The journey to Lanling is dangerous.
Why didn't Father take us?
Killing Xuanwu will be
the Wen Clan's excuse to target us.
Besides,
if both of us leave,
who will be responsible for Lotus Pier?
Take it easy.
Clan Leader Jiang and Yanli
will just spend a few days in the river to get there.
They'll come back safe and sound.
The Wen Clan is so vicious
that they've even exterminated a minor clan
like the Yao Clan who had no quarrel with them.
How abominable.
The Wen Clan is ruthless
and lacks humanity.
It isn't new for us.
But they even targeted minor clans like the Yao.
I'm afraid more chaos will be incurred in the cultivation world.
Jiang Cheng.
We should come up with a plan.
Once the Wen Clan comes to Lotus Pier, what should we do to handle it?
How will we deal with it?
I'll kill every last one of the coming underlings of the Wen Clan.
What's the matter?
Father.
What happened to you?
Do you have any clue of the whereabouts of Xue Yang?
Father,
I've sent people to search around.
No report has come in yet.
Xue Yang is defiant and is causing trouble everywhere.
I'm afraid he has died at the hands of others.
Father, are you all right?
Call Wen Qing here.
I need an acupuncture.
Didn't you send her and her brother to Yiling?
Should I call them back?
No.
The cave of the Tortoise of Slaughter in Muxi Mountain.
You've sent people there, right?
What did they find?
They found that Xuanwu was already dead.
Dead?
The Tortoise of Slaughter
was an ancient mythic creature tamed by Xue Chonghai.
How could it just die like that?
Yes.
I suppose it must be Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji who killed it together.
However, I found
there was a sign of a seal in Xuanwu's heart.
There must be something repressing that beast there.
That's why we haven't noticed it before.
Where is the thing?
Gone.
"Gone"?
The thing that can repress the Tortoise of Slaughter for a hundred years
can't be ordinary.
Find it!
Understood!
But Father,
have you taken any other clans in Yunmeng into account?
Just kill them
if you want.
Yes, Father.
Let's stop here.
We should head back.
So early today?
I've had enough.
It's not interesting anymore.
By the way,
which of you guys were ranked at the bottom?
Just go fetch it with him.
Young Master Wei.
Why am I always the one to fetch it?
That's not fair.
I didn't want to either.
But Madam Yu won't let me go out.
She is home now.
Maybe Jinzhu or Yinzhu is hiding in some corner spying on me
and is ready to report me at any time.
If I go out,
Madam Yu will whip me
until a layer of my skin falls off.
Young Master Wei, you fear nothing but our Madam Yu
-and dogs! -And dogs!
Hey, you...
What are you guys talking about?
Go fetch those arrows now!
Go.
Let's go.
Make it quick.
Jiang Cheng,
Clan Leader Jiang and Yanli have been away for about ten days.
When will they be back?
I received a letter from Father several days ago.
I guess they'll be back soon.
I'm just wondering if we should consult with Mother to send people to greet them.
After such a long time,
I wonder if she's mollified.
Only if I could go out.
Whose kite is this?
It's mine.
How dare you!
Seize him!
Young Master Wei!
Bad news, Young Master Wei!
-Young Master Wei! -Sixth Young Master...
He was captured!
By who and why?
I don't know why he was captured.
Capturing people for no reason?
Calm down and make it clear.
We just went to fetch the kites.
The kite fell.
It was kind of far away. We went for it and found dozens of people.
They were all from the Wen Clan.
The leader was a young woman.
She was holding a kite with an arrow.
She asked who owned the kite when she saw us.
Sixth Young Master said it was his.
The woman got angry and said, "How dare you!"
Then they seized Sixth Young Master.
And then?
We asked for the reason.
She was yelling repeatedly that he was conspiring
against them and ordered her men to seize the sixth young master.
Kidnapping for no reason.
The Wen Clan is getting out of control.
-Yes. -I agree.
-The Wen Clan has gone too far. -Quiet.
The Wen Clan is coming.
Don't let them get the best of us.
Let me ask you, was the woman
carrying no sword, looks flirtatious,
and has a mole on her face?
-Yes, that's her. -That's her!
Wang Lingjiao.
Wang Lingjiao is such a...
What are you shouting about?
SWORD'S HALL
Can't I lead a peaceful life for one day?
Mother, the Wen Clan is coming and they captured the sixth young master.
You yelled so loudly. I already heard it inside.
What is the fuss about?
He was captured, not killed.
Look at you.
So anxious and resentful, you even stomped the ground.
Do you have any blood of a future clan leader?
Calm down.
The so-called Lotus Pier is overrated.
Madam Yu,
long time no see.
Lotus Pier looks pretty good,
it's just that the wood is kind of dark.
They're not bright enough.
Madam Yu,
I must say, you are an awful mother who knows so little about decoration.
Here,
here,
and here.
If there was some red gauze,
it would look pretty.
Why did you seize the disciple of the Jiang Clan of Yunmeng?
Seize?
You are referring to the one I just caught outside.
It's a long story.
Let's have a good talk.
Where is the tea?
There won't be any
if you don't serve yourself.
Don't the servants of the Jiang Clan do their work?
They have more important work to do.
Doing such a trivial matter,
you won't need others' help
if you're a healthy person.
Madam Yu,
this is not good for the Jiang Clan.
Servants can interrupt others in such a public situation.
If this happened in the Wen Clan,
such behavior would merit being slapped in the face.
Jinzhu and Yinzhu are not some normal servants.
They've been serving me since they were little.
No one can slap them.
No one can and no one dares.
Listen to what you've said, Madam Yu.
In the cultivation clan,
superiors and inferiors must be differentiated
or it will be chaotic.
Servants are servants after all.
Right, servants should act as servants.
However, why did you seize our disciple?
Madam Yu, I advise you to draw a clear boundary with that boy.
He was conspiring against us and was caught by me on the site.
Conspiring against you?
What can Sixth Young Master conspire about?
Come on, let's show Madam Yu.
This is proof.
What kind of proof is this?
It's just a kite with a one-eyed monster on it.
Do you think I'm blind?
Observe it!
What's the color of it?
And what's the shape of the one-eyed monster?
So?
So, Madam Yu,
what looks round and golden?
The sun.
There are so many kinds of kites.
Why did he choose to draw a one-eyed monster?
Why did he choose to make it gold?
Why not other shapes?
Why not other colors?
You want to tell me it's a coincidence?
Impossible.
He meant it.
He shot down the kite
to insinuate that he wanted to shoot down the sun.
His desire to shoot down the sun
is the biggest disrespect to the Wen Clan of Qishan.
Couldn't I say he was conspiring against us?
The kite does look round and golden,
but it is far from the sun.
What's the resemblance?
So are you saying that oranges shouldn't be eaten anymore?
Oranges are golden and round.
But I remember that you like oranges.
So you came this time just for a kite?
Of course not.
We came under Young Master Wen's orders
to penalize a person.
This guy, back in Muxi Mountain,
railed against our young master and hindered him
when he was fighting a monster dauntlessly,
which made our young master tired and distracted
so he almost failed.
He even lost his sword.
But our young master is blessed to have killed that monster at last,
even without a sword.
I, on behalf of our young master,
am asking Madam Yu to penalize this guy
to set an example for the other people in the Jiang Clan.
Mother.
Back off.
This Wei Ying should be your servant in the Jiang Clan, right?
Considering Clan Leader Jiang's absence,
I suppose Madam Yu can be the judge.
If there is anyone shielding him in the Jiang Clan,
I can assume that those old rumors...
are real.
What rumors?
You know, don't you?
They're nothing
but some romantic affairs of Clan Leader Jiang.
You mean...
Mother.
Move aside, Cheng.
Or you'll kneel down too.
Jiang Cheng, stay out of this.
Wei Wuxian!
I've already said it.
You...
You undisciplined bastard.
You're going to bring trouble to the Jiang Clan sooner or later.
Stop!
Please stop, Mother.
Jiang Cheng,
get away from him.
Done already?
So what?
This is it?
What do you mean?
What class do you think my Zidian is?
Having taken that,
he won't be able to get up until next month.
He'll suffer.
But he will heal one day, right?
What on earth do you want?
Madam Yu, since this is a penalty,
you should make him remember the lesson,
regret it for the rest of his life, and lose the nerves to do it again.
Just a few lashes.
Very soon, he'll heal and fool around again.
What kind of penalty is that?
Besides, lads at such a young age
easily forget the pain once he heals.
This is nothing close to a penalty.
What do you want, then?
Chop off his legs to make him stay down forever?
For our Young Master Wen's sake,
we won't do brutal things like chopping off someone's legs.
You only need to chop off his right hand.
That should satisfy Young Master Wen.
Chopping off his right hand?
That's right.
Mother.
Mother, please don't.
She's lying.
Madam Yu, you'd better think it over.
We, the Wen Clan of Qishan, won't quit before there is a decent result.
I'll bring back the hand you will chop off.
With that result, the Jiang Clan of Yunmeng will be fine.
It won't be so simple when our young master comes in person.
Jinzhu, Yinzhu.
Close the doors.
Don't let blood be shown to others.
-Yes, Madam. -Yes, Madam.
Mother.
Mother!
Well then,
if it can bring the peace back,
one hand is worthwhile.
Mother.
I must practice using my left hand from now on.
Madam Yu, I'm starting to adore you.
We'll get along well in the Supervisory Office
in the future.
The Supervisory Office?
Yes, the Supervisory Office.
It's my second errand in Yunmeng.
We, the Wen Clan, have newly issued a Supervisory Order.
One supervisory office for every city.
Now I declare
the Lotus Pier as the new Supervisory Office of the Wen Clan
in Yunmeng.
What are you saying?
This is my home.
Madam Yu,
I advise you
to discipline your son properly.
For hundreds of years,
all other clans should kneel before the Wen Clan.
In the presence of the Wen emissary, how could you say something like that?
I thought the Lotus Pier was old
and had some traitors,
and therefore not worthy to take responsibility.
However,
I can see you are obedient
and I like your temper.
So I decided to grant you the right--
You reckless maid.
You should look at the owner before you kick a dog.
How dare you barge into my house and penalize my family members before me?
Who do you think you are?
How can you be so impertinent?
How dare you!
I'm telling you, the Wen Clan and the Wang Clan won't spare you!
Shut up!
You mean maid.
The Yu Clan of Meishan has existed in the cultivation world for a hundred years.
I never heard of some Wang Clan of Yingchuan.
Which filthy gutter did you come from?
Such a low clan.
Is the whole clan full of low beings like you?
You dare bring up superiors and inferiors.
Let me tell you what superiors and inferiors are.
I'm superior.
You're inferior.
SWORD'S HALL
Do you think you can bury the truth by killing me?
Do you think Young Master Wen doesn't know I'm here?
Let me tell you,
Young Master Wen will be here soon.
You!
He won't spare any of you!
You're talking like you're sparing us right now.
Do you know that I am one of Young Master Wen's people?
I'm the closest to him!
If he finds out what you did to me,
he will absolutely--
So what?
Chop off our hands or legs?
Burn down our mansion?
Send out an army of 10,000 people
to reduce our Lotus Pier into ruins?
Or set up the Supervisory Office?
Stay away!
What do you want?
Stop there!
Wen Zhuliu!
Wen Zhuliu! Save me!
Core-Melting Hand?
Violet Spider.
Wen Zhuliu, what are you waiting for?
Kill her!
You original name was Zhao Zhuliu, right?
It wasn't Wen.
So you desperately want to change your surname.
You guys fall over yourselves to get it.
How can the surname Wen be so precious that it made you betray your ancestors?
Hilarious.
I'm just serving my master.
Wen Zhuliu, why are you still talking?
Can't you see the situation I'm in?
Young Master Wen sent you to protect me.
Is this how you'll do that?
You'd better be careful. I'll report you!
Excuse my offense.
How hypocritical.
Jiang Cheng! Go stop her!
Stop her from setting off the signal!
Watch out, Madam Yu!
Mother!
Come here quickly!
Go!
Cheng.
Thank God, the wound is not severe.
Mother.
What should we do?
What should you do?
Don't you see that they are prepared?
The fight is inevitable today.
Many pursuers will arrive soon.
You go first.
What if Clan Leader Jiang and Yanli--
You shut up!
It's all your fault.
Mother.
Why did you give me the Zidian?
It's yours now.
The Zidian has accepted you as its master.
Mother.
Can't you go with us?
You damn boy.
I hate you so much!
Look!
Because of you, what disaster has come to our clan?
Mother,
can't you go with us?
Mother!
It'll loosen when it's safe.
If you encounter any enemy,
the Zidian will protect you.
Listen up, Wei Ying!
Protect Jiang Cheng with your own life, okay?
Madam Yu!
Stop wasting time! Do you understand it or not?
Mother.
Father isn't home yet.
There is nothing we can't share together!
It's okay even if he doesn't return.
Even without him, I'll be fine.
Mother!
Why are we still tied up?
Why?
Loosen it!
Loosen it now!
Loosen!
-Loosen it! -Jiang Cheng!
Listen to me!
Calm down!
Madam versus the Core-Melting Hand,
it's not a decided battle.
Didn't she pin down that Wen Zhuliu?
How can I calm down?
How?
Even if Wen Zhuliu was killed, Wang Lingjiao had set off the signal.
What if Wen Chao sends an army to besiege our family?
Jiang Cheng!
Look!
It's Clan Leader Jiang and Yanli.
-Clan Leader Jiang! -Father!
-Yanli! -Set us free now!
Let us go back to Lotus Pier!
Clan Leader Jiang!
-Father! -Clan Leader Jiang!
Father.
It sounds like Xian and Cheng.
-Yanli! -Father!
Quickly, pull up to the boat!
Father!
Father.
Cheng! Ying!
This is...
Clan Leader Jiang.
-Father. -What happened?
Why are you bound by the Zidian here?
Where is Mother?
Why did she bind you?
Father, set us free!
The Zidian belongs to your mother.
It can recognize its owner.
I'm afraid it won't let me...
Father, Yanli.
The Wen Clan barged into our house.
Mother quarreled with them
and started to fight Core-Melting Hand.
I fear he will get the upper hand.
And someone just set off the signal.
It won't be long before more enemies arrive.
Father. Let's get back to help her!
Let's go back now, Father.
Core-Melting Hand...
Father. Let's go back now.
-Father. -Father!
Listen, all three of you.
Don't change your direction.
Don't go back to Lotus Pier.
Try to get to Meishan once you land.
Go to your grandmother.
-Father! -Clan Leader Jiang!
I will go back for my wife.
Father. Let's go back to Mother together!
Father!
You three must be safe and sound.
-Clan Leader Jiang! -Father!
-If something happened to you,
we wouldn't be safe and sound either!
Father!
Little fool.
Don't cry.
I didn't say that I wouldn't be back.
Father.
Li, don't cry now.
Don't cry now.
-Father! -Ying.
You must always watch over Cheng and Li.
-Father! -Clan Leader Jiang!
-Father! -Father!
Hurry back to Lotus Pier.
-Father! -Father!
-Clan Leader Jiang! -Father!
Father!
-Father! -Father!
Father!
-Father! -Clan Leader Jiang!
-Father! -Father!
Father!
