The Untamed
Episode 15
Pingyang Yao Sect greets you.
- No need. - Thanks, Leader Jiang.
Who brutally wounded you, Sect Leader Yao?
Leader Jiang. Pity my Yao Sect disciples.
They suffered while fleeing from Qishan to Pingyang
yet couldn't avoid death by sword.
My Yao Clan was annihilated today!
Leader Jiang, because we fled from Qishan,
Wen Sect massacred Yao Sect.
Only we are left!
Leader got hurt saving us.
Please, Leader Jiang, save our sect leader!
Dad, Wen Ruohan gave orders to track disciples who fled
and wipe out their sects with no exceptions.
Our Yao Sect had little power
and never aimed to rival major sects.
I never expected sect annihilation.
Please rest and recover. Since you're here,
our Jiang Sect will do our best to help you.
Thanks, Leader Jiang.
You're welcome.
Quickly prepare a room and treat Leader Yao's wounds.
Aye.
Come.
Sect Leader!
Uncle Jiang.
Dad, now Wen Sect bared its fangs, they're unlikely to spare us.
I'm afraid Lotus Pier
may be unsafe for Leader Yao.
I had the same thought.
Wen Ruohan is purging sects.
At this point, it looks like only Lanling Jin Clan could oppose them.
But Jin Sect...
Uncle Jiang, Jin Zixuan has a decent character.
Even if Jin Sect won't offend Wen Sect, if Jin Zixuan takes our side,
I believe Jin Sect won't just watch other sects fall to Wen Sect.
That's right. Dad, A-Xian's rescue was due to Childe Jin and me
getting backup from Lanling.
In that case, I'll leave tomorrow
and take Leader Yao to Lanling.
Dad. I'll go with you.
No. A-Cheng, A-Xian.
You two stay and protect Lotus Pier.
Yes, Uncle Jiang.
[ Lotus Pier ]
I must leave for a few days. During this time,
follow your two Senior 's orders.
As for training, don't be idle. Do you hear me?
Yes, Sect Leader.
Dad, don't worry. I'll protect Lotus Pier.
Uncle Jiang, Senior Sister. Come back safely.
Okay.
Let's go.
A-Li.
A-Li, come here.
I brought you things for the journey.
These are snacks from Granny Liu
for the trip.
This is pain medicine.
For your...
If someone has a headache,
give him this.
Mom, on Dad's behalf, thanks.
No need for thanks. I'm thinking of your well being.
Going to Lanling is risky. Be safe.
Go.
Dad.
Let's go.
It's a risky trip to Lanling. Why didn't Dad take us?
I'm afraid Wen Sect won't let Xuanwu's death pass easily.
Besides, if we both went, who'd look after Lotus Pier?
Don't worry. Uncle and Senior Sis are on the river just a few days.
They'll be back safely.
That Wen Sect is so vicious.
They wiped out minor Pingyang Yao Sect that had no quarrel with them.
Wen Sect is ruthless and inhumane.
But that's not new.
Since Wens even attack smaller sects like Yao's,
I fear a bloodier storm ahead in the Cultivation world.
Jiang Chen. Let's plan.
If Wen Sect comes, there'll be trouble. What to do?
What to do? I'll kill every Wen Sect underling who comes.
What is it?
Father, what happened to you?
Any news of Xue Yang?
Reporting, Father. I sent men to search for him, with no results.
Xue Yang is unpredictable, bringing calamity everywhere.
I'm afraid he may be dead by other hands.
Father, what's wrong?
Call Wen Qing! I need needle therapy!
Didn't you send her and her brother to Yiling?
Should I recall them?
No need.
Mt Sunset-Creek cave of Xuanwu of Slaughter...
You sent men to check.
What did they find?
They found Xuanwu had died.
Died?
Xuanwu of Slaughter was an ancient mythical beast tamed by Xue Chonghai.
Just like that, it died?
Yes. Probably Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji killed it.
But I found a sign of a seal in Xuanwu's innards, repressing it there.
That's why we hadn't noticed it.
Where's that seal object?
It's gone.
It's gone?
The object able to suppress Xuanwu for a hundred years
must be exceptional. Find it!
Aye.
But, Father, will you still wipe out Yunmeng Jiang Sect?
If you want to kill them, go kill them.
Aye.
Stop playing, stop playing. Let's all go back.
So early today?
Don't want to play. No point.
Oh right. Whoever scored lowest,
go fetch with Sixth Junior.
First Senior, why's it always me fetching? So unfair.
I don't aim to be unfair, but Madam Yu won't let me outside.
She's home now.
Maybe Jin Zhu and Yin Zhu are hiding, spying on me—
ready to report me. If I go outside,
Madam Yu will lash off a layer off my skin.
First Senior is afraid of nothing except Teacher's wife
and dogs.
- Hey, you! - What are you all saying?
Fetch arrows now.
Go.
- Go. - Quickly.
Jiang Cheng. Uncle and Senior Sister left 10 days ago. Why aren't they back?
Father's letter came 2 days ago.
They should be back soon.
I wonder if Mom should send people to meet them.
I also wonder if Mom's anger subsided after this long.
It'd be great if I could go outside.
Whose is this kite?
It's mine.
How brazen! Seize him!
- Seniors. - It's bad, Seniors.
- Seniors. - Seniors.
Sixth Junior was captured!
By whom? Why?
I don't know why they seized him.
You don't know why?
Explain calmly.
Just now, we fetched kites that fell outside,
quite far. Over there, we ran into a dozen Wen Sect people.
The young female leader held a kite and arrow.
She asked whose kite it was.
Sixth Junior said it was his. She angrily said, "How brazen!"
- They seized Sixth Junior. - Then?
We asked why. She said he's rebelling.
She ordered his capture.
Taking captives for no reason. Is Wen Sect playing god?!
- Yeah. - Wen Sect's gone too far.
Everyone, be quiet. Wen people are coming.
Let them hear nothing to use against us.
Let me ask. That woman—
is she swordless, voluptuous, and
has a facial mole.
- Yes. That's her. - That's her.
Wang Lingjiao. Wang Lingjiao, that—
What's all the fuss?
[ Madam Yu ]
Never a day of peace.
Mom, Wen people are here. They seized Sixth Junior.
You all shouted so loud. I could hear it inside.
So what? They captured him, not killed him.
Look at you, anxious and resentful.
Is that a future Leader's air!
- Be calm. - Lotus Pier is just so-so.
Madam Yu, how are you?
This place isn't bad.
The wood is a bit dark, not fresh.
I say, Madam Yu, you're lacking as house mistress.
Don't know how to decorate.
Here, here, and here.
If you put red curtains, it would look prettier.
You seized our Junior. Why?
Seized?
Oh, the one I caught outside.
It's a long story. Let's chat.
Where's the tea?
There's no tea. Get it yourself if you want it.
Don't Jiang servants work?
Jiang servants have more vital work.
No-one needs others
to serve. No-one's crippled.
Madam Yu, this won't do in Jiang Sect.
Maids interrupt randomly in public.
If this was Wen Sect, they would be slapped.
Jin Zhu and Yin Zhu aren't ordinary servants.
They've been with me since young and serve only me.
No-one can slap them.
They can't and don't dare.
Madam, what do you mean?
Superiors must be distinguished from inferiors
or else it's chaos. Servants should be servants.
You're right. Servants should be servants.
But why did you take my sect's junior disciple?
Madam Yu, you better draw a clear line with that brat.
He has hidden ill intent. I caught him red-handed.
Hidden ill intent?
What hidden ill intent could Sixth Junior have?
Men. Show Madam Yu.
This is the evidence.
What kind of proof is this?
It's a one-eyed monster kite.
You think I'm blind?!
Look carefully. What colour is this kite?
What shape is the monster?
And so?
And so...Madam Yu, it's round and golden.
What's it look like? The sun.
Of all different kites, why'd he draw a one-eyed monster?
Why'd he paint it gold? Why not a different shape?
Why not another colour?
You'll tell me it's a coincidence? Impossible.
He did it on purpose.
He shot down this kite
to imply shooting the sun. He wants to shoot the sun.
This is the biggest disrespect to Qishan Wen Sect.
Isn't this hidden ill intent?
Even if this kite is a gold colour,
no way it's like a sun. How are they similar?
If I'm following you correctly, then we can't eat oranges.
Because oranges are this colour and round.
But you like eating oranges.
So you came just for this kite?
Of course not. I'm here on Childe Wen's orders,
to punish someone.
This brat, while Childe Wen bravely fought the monster at Mt Sunset-Creek,
spoke rudely and disturbed him.
He made Childe Wen tired, almost failing.
Even his sword was lost.
Luckily Childe Wen, with no sword,
defeated the monster.
Today, for Childe Wen, I ask Madam Yu to punish him harshly
to make an example of him to all Jiang Sect.
- Mom. - Stand back.
This Wei Ying should be your sect's servant.
Since Leader Jiang isn't here, Madam Yu knows what to do.
If anyone in your Sect shields him,
it would make me assume those rumours...
are true.
What rumours?
What do you think? They're Leader Jiang's
old romantic ties.
You're dead—
Mom!
Jiang Cheng, move aside!
Or you'll kneel too.
Jiang Cheng, stay out of this.
Wei Wuxian!
I said that you,
you unruly thing,
would bring our sect trouble.
Don't hit him any more, Mom.
Jiang Cheng, out of the way!
It's over?
What else?
That's it?
What's that mean?
You think Zidian is a simple weapon?
He took so many lashes. He won't get up for a month.
Then, when he heals...
What on earth do you want?
Madam Yu, as it's punishment,
you have to make him remember it all his life
so he dare not do it again.
If it's just lashes,
he'll get up and mess up again.
What punishment is that?
Besides, a lad of his age
will forget pain once he heals.
This doesn't count as anything.
What do you want?
Cut off his legs so he never gets up and runs again?
Childe Wen is kind. Of course we can't brutally cut off his legs.
Just cut off his right hand.
Childe Wen won't care after that.
Cut off his right hand?
That's right.
Mom. Mom, don't.
It didn't happen like she said.
Madam Yu, think carefully.
Wen Sect will pursue a result.
I'll take his hand as proof.
That way, Jiang Sect will be safe.
If not, when Childe Wen comes,
things won't be so simple.
Jin Zhu. Yin Zhu.
Close the doors. Don't let others see the blood.
- Yes, Madam. - Mom!
Mom!
So be it! If I can bring peace to my sect,
- a hand is just a hand. - Mom.
I'll practise sword left-handed.
Madam Yu, I really respect you.
We'll get on well in the Supervisory Office.
Supervisory Office?
Yes, Supervisory Office.
It's my second errand in Yumeng.
Wen Sect issued orders
to set up a Supervisory Office in every city.
I now declare it—
Lotus Pier will be Wen Sect's Supervisory Office in Yunmeng.
What Supervisory Office? This is my home.
Madam Yu. I advise you to discipline your son properly.
For centuries, all sects have bowed to Wen sect.
To Wen Sect's envoy, how can you say it's your home.
I thought Lotus Pier was old, and had a few traitors
so you're weren't capable of it.
But you obeyed me and I like your temperament.
So I've decided to give this honour... Ah!
Bitch, how dare you?
To beat a dog, see its owner.
You barged into my home and punished my person.
Who do you think you are, acting so impudently?
You dare!
Qishan Wen Sect and Yingchuan Wang Sect won't spare you.
Shut up!
You bitch.
My Mt Mei Yu Sect has Cultivated for centuries.
Never heard of Yingchuan Wang Sect.
Which gutter did your lowly sect crawl from?
Is all your family as low as you?
You spoke about hierarchy. I'll teach you hierarchy.
I am superior. You are inferior.
Think you'll get away with murder? Childe Wen knows I'm here.
I tell you, he'll come soon!
You! He won't spare you!
You act like he had spared us.
I'm Childe Wen's person.
I'm closest to him!
If he knows what you did to me, he will—
Do what?!
Cut off our hands or legs? Burn down our home?
Or send 10,000 people to raze Lotus Pier?
Build a Supervisory Office?
Stay away, stay away!
What are you doing?
Don't come near! Wen Zhuliu!
Wen Zhuliu, save me!
Core-Melting Hand.
Violet Spider.
Wen Zhuliu. Why wait?!
Kill her! Kill her!
Wasn't your original name Zhao Zhuliu?
It clearly wasn't 'Wen'. You were desperate to change it.
You swarm like flies.
Is the surname 'Wen' so precious, you betray your ancestors. Ludicrous!
Each serves their own master.
Wen Zhuliu, why talk to her? See my situation!
Childe Wen said to protect me. Is this how?
Beware. I'll denounce you!
Sorry I'll offend you.
Pretentious.
Jiang Cheng, stop her.
Don't let her send the signal!
Madam Yu, beware!
Mom!
Come quickly!
Go!
A-Cheng.
Luckily, it's not a severe injury.
Mom.
- What do we do? - What 'what do we do'?
Can't you see?
They came prepared. Today's fight was unavoidable.
Their rearguard is coming. Leave.
Then, Sister and Uncle?
Shut up!
It's all caused by you damn little...!
Mom, why'd you give me Zidian?
It's yours from now on. Zidian accepted you as master.
Mom, you won't come with us?
You damn brat. Hateful, too hateful.
Look at what kind of trouble you caused our family.
Mom, won't you go with us?
Mom!
Mom! Mom!
It'll loosen where you're safe.
If someone attacks you, it will protect you.
Wei Ying, listen up!
Protect Jiang Cheng even if you die. Got it!
- Madam Yu! - Wasting time! Did you hear me?
Mom! Dad... Dad isn't back.
Can't we manage together?
If he's not back, he's not. Aren't I fine without him!
Mom!
Mom! Mom!
Mom!
Still not loose?
Not loose yet?! Not loose yet!
Loosen!
Loosen! Still not loose?!
- Loosen! - Jiang Cheng.
Listen to me. Calm down.
If Madam Yu fights Core-Melting Hand, she might not lose.
Didn't she stop Wen Zhuliu just before?
How can I calm down?! How?!
Even if she kills Wen Zhuliu, Wang Lingjiao sent up a signal.
What if Wen Chao sends a big army to attack our home?!
Jiang Cheng, look.
It's Uncle Jiang and Senior Sister.
- Uncle Jiang! - Dad!
- Senior Sister! - Free us to go to Lotus Pier!
Uncle Jiang!
- Dad! - Uncle!
Dad. Sounds like A-Cheng and A-Xian.
- Senior Sister! - Dad!
Quickly! Steer to that boat.
Dad!
A-Cheng, A-Ying, this...
Uncle Jiang.
- Dad. - What's wrong?
Why are you here, bound by Purple Lightning?
Where's Mom? Why'd she bind you?
Dad, free us now.
This is your mom's Zidian. It knows its master. I fear it won't let me...
Dad, Sis. Wen Sect barged in.
Mom argued with them.
She...fought with Core-Melting Hand.
I'm scared she'll lose. And someone set off a signal.
More foes will arrive before long.
Dad, let's rush to help her.
Let's go back, Dad!
Core-Melting Hand?
Dad, let's rush back.
- Dad! - Dad!
You three, listen well.
Don't turn this boat around. Don't go back to Lotus Pier.
Back on shore, hurry to Mt Mei to your grandmother.
- Dad! - Uncle!
Dad!
I must go to my wife.
Dad, let's all find mom, okay? Dad!
You three, be well.
- Uncle Jiang! - Dad!
If something happens to you two, how can we be well?
Dad!
- Dad. - Dad.
Dad.
Silly boy, why cry?
I didn't say I won't be back.
Dad.
A-Li, don't cry.
Don't cry, okay?
- Dad. - A-Ying.
Always take care of A-Cheng and A-Li.
- Dad! - Uncle Jiang!
- Dad! - Dad!
Hurry to Lotus Pier.
- Dad! - Dad!
- Uncle Jiang! - Dad!
Dad!
Dad.
Dad!
- Dad! - Uncle Jiang!
Dad!
