The Untamed
Episode 26
[ Golden Koi Tower - Lanling Jin Sect ]
Is this a place you should be?
Who let you in?
Forgive me, I...
Su She?
The entry ways are complex.
Master Su can't help being lost.
Why do you turn up everywhere?
Second Bro, Light-bearer Lord, please.
Please follow me.
- You remember me? - Of course, why won't I?
We've met before.
Su Minshan, Childe Su.
Your sword skills are very good.
At the banquet in Nevernight, I was thinking
it'd be a pity if a young talent didn’t visit our sect.
In the end, you did come. I am delighted.
Please come this way.
Big Bro.
This way, please.
Sect Leader Su, please sit.
Second Bro.
A-Yao, you invited Su She?
Yes.
After Sunshot, sects rebuilt.
Leader Su set up a sect in Moling, his hometown.
It took shape in a few months.
It's good to recognize his talent.
A-Yao, don't you know Su She...
Childe, you're unaware. Leader Su was a Lan Sect outer disciple.
He only established his own sect after Sunshot.
Second Bro, I didn't know until now...
No blame.
Being uninformed is not guilt.
Young Masters, I'll refill your cups.
Bro Jiang, come sit here.
Come, Bro Jiang.
Fellow Cultivators, Mt Phoenix Crowd Hunt was the grandest.
All prey was the strongest seen.
Yunmeng Jiang Sect especially captured the most prey.
Congratulations, Leader Jiang. How meritorious.
Jiang Sect can't claim all merit.
We will share the credit with other sects here today.
Thanks to Jin Sect for inviting us.
- Leader Jiang is considerate. - That's right.
Leader Jiang is a worthy hero
like his father.
Come. Let's drink.
Leader Lan, Light-bearer Lord. A toast to each of you!
Zixun. Lord Zewu and Light-bearer Lord are from Cloud Recesses.
They have 3000 sect rules.
Rather than ask them to drink...
Jin Sect and Lan Sect are like family.
We're the same. If these two brothers don't drink,
they're looking down on me.
What a bold move!
What an esteemed Cultivator!
Save the words, Leader Lan. Our sects aren't strangers.
Don't treat me as a stranger. Tell me one thing.
Drink? Or not drink?
They must sword-fly to return.
Drinking liquor affects sword riding.
Two cups won't get them drunk.
If I drink eight large bowls,
I could ride my sword in the sky.
Good.
Light-bearer Lord, it's your turn.
Here.
I will drink it for him.
Childe Wei.
When did you come?
Just now.
Childe Wei, why so late?
Come, come, sit over there.
No need. I have an urgent question for Master Jin.
May I have a word?
If you want to talk, do it after the banquet.
How long to wait?
Six to eight hours.
Or eight to ten hours.
Or maybe tomorrow.
I can't wait that long.
Still, you must.
Wei Wuxian!
Childe Wei, why must you speak with Zixun? Is it urgent?
Very urgent, no time to delay.
Come, Leader Lan.
Drink this cup.
Okay. Then I'll say it here.
Master Jin, do you know someone named Wen Ning?
I don't.
You would know Wen Ning.
Last month, when you were night-hunting in Ganquan,
you chased an 8-winged bat-king
to the Wen remnants' habitation.
It's their place of captivity.
You took away a group of Wens.
Bro Wen was leading them.
If I don't know, I don't know.
I've no time to find a Wen-dog's name.
Fine. I don't mind going into detail.
You couldn't catch that bat-king
and ran into a Wen group who were investigating it.
You forced them to carry Spirit Lure Flags to be your live baits.
They dared not do it.
One stammering guy stepped out and argued.
That guy is Wen Ning.
After some delay, the bat-king got away.
You brutally beat that Wen group, took them away by force,
and then they disappeared.
Must I give more details?
They still haven’t returned.
If not you, who do I ask?
Wei Wuxian, what's your intent?
You came for him?
You're standing up for those dogs?
None of your business if I stand up for him or take his head.
Hand him over.
Wei Wuxian, you're too bold.
You act so impudently here.
You think you're invincible, and no-one will confront you?
You want to overturn Heaven?
You refer to yourself as Heaven?
Excuse me, you're too brazen.
It's not too big a deal.
You youngsters love to argue.
But, Childe Wei, let's be fair.
Today you barged into Lanling Jin Sect banquet.
That is quite improper.
Leader Jin, I didn't aim to disturb it.
Apologies.
Master Jin took people whose whereabouts are unclear.
Any delay, it may be too late.
I owe that person for saving my life.
I won't sit and watch.
Forgive me. I'll make amends.
Whatever it is can wait longer.
Come, sit. I'll talk to you at leisure.
Wei Wuxian, what are you doing?
Thanks, I won't stay.
This can't wait. Please resolve it.
No need to rush.
There are a few things
not sorted out between us.
Since you're here today,
I'll take this chance to clear it up.
Clear up what?
Childe Wei, I mentioned this previously.
You've forgotten?
At Sunshot, you used a certain object.
Stygian Tiger Seal.
Is there a problem?
Its power is like Stygian Iron.
You used it once in battle.
It was harmful. Its residual force hurt a few Cultivators.
Please get to the point.
This is the point—
Four Shards, three found,
one missing. I must ask you how you acquired Tiger Seal?
This weapon is too powerful to be controlled.
You alone hold that object.
I'm afraid...
Leader Jin, what are you implying?
Okay, I'll ask you another question.
Leader Jin, did you think, with Qishan Wen Sect gone,
Lanling Jin Sect will replace it?
Everything goes to you?
Everyone must listen to you?
Seeing how Jin Sect does things,
I almost thought it's Wen Sect.
Wei Wuxian, what are you saying?
Did I say something wrong?
At Nevernight, you took revenge.
But now you force people to be live bait and beat them.
How's it differ from Wen Sect?
Wei Ying.
Sure it's different.
Wen Sect did evil things. This is what they deserve.
It's just 'a tooth for a tooth'.
Let them eat their bitter fruit. How's it wrong?
Punish whoever bit you.
Wen Qing and Wen Ning's hands
have no blood on them.
Are you finding them guilty by association?
Wen Sect killed many people.
Why must we treat them justly?
It's a pity I killed too few of them.
You kill innocents casually.
If I kill you today, is it justice?
You!
- Wei Wuxian! - Wei Ying!
Childe Wei, please don't overdo it. We can discuss things.
Wei Wuxian, Leader Jiang is here.
Will you be so reckless?!
If I want to kill someone,
who can stop me?
Who dares stop me!
Wei Ying, let go of Chenqing.
Jin Jixun!
I'm sure you're aware
my patience is limited.
I wasted so much time on you.
I'll count to three.
Three.
Two.
Fine, fine.
It's just a few Wens.
You want them, take them.
I won't bother with you.
Go find them at Qiongqi Path.
Look at you. Say so earlier.
Found them.
Let's go.
How about you rest?
I'll go alone.
I promise, I'll bring him back.
No, no.
I'll go. I must go.
How can you go like this?
Eat something. Replenish energy.
I promise you.
If you eat this, I'll take you.
Where is A-Ning?
Qiongqi Path.
I knew it. I shouldn't have left him.
I had no choice.
They took me to another place.
When I returned...
A-Ning and the others were gone.
I knew I shouldn't have left him.
You need to believe in him.
Go die.
Father, calm down.
A-Yao.
Are you okay?
I'm fine, fine. Second Bro, please sit.
You should go and change clothes.
I can't leave.
Childe Wei is too impulsive.
How can he say those things in front of so many people?
Was he wrong?
Right, he's right.
Because it's right, he can't say it to our faces.
Childe Wei's heart has changed.
Go.
Do your best.
He won't let us punish Wens?
In front of so many sects.
Leader Jiang said nothing. Why did Wei?
- Let's go. - Yeah, go.
Leader, we...
Granny.
Granny...
Granny.
Where's Uncle Four's group with A-Ning?
A-Ning.
Lady Qing.
Halt.
Who let you in?
I'm seeking someone.
Seek a guy or ghost, who cares? Go! Or I...
A-Ning!
See A-Ning?
Did you see A-Ning?
See A-Ning?
A-Ning!
See A-Ning?
Where's A-Ning?
A-Ning! A-Ning!
Where's A-Ning?
See A-Ning?
Know where A-Ning is?
Call everyone over!
Where are the Wen Cultivators sent here in recent days?
Where are the recently arrived Wen Cultivators?
One of them stammers.
Have you seen him?
Everyone here is from Wen Sect.
All recent arrivals are here.
I know he must be here.
People often ask for Cultivators.
I think he ran away.
He won't escape.
Granny's here with the rest.
A-Ning won't flee alone.
You said everyone is here.
All are here.
All are here?
Fine.
For now, I'll believe—
all the living people are here.
Where are the others?
Childe, spare me. I'll talk.
Wen corpses were thrown in the valley.
We do as we're told. Don't blame us.
Take us there.
There. There, in front of us.
A-Ning!
A-Ning...
A-Ning!
Well? They found him?
What else? After Master Jin left,
he's been there for days. If not dead then,
now he'd be stinking.
Why stand there?
Waiting for Wei Wuxian and that Wen girl?
Hurry, go!
Wait. Master Jin told us
to keep a close eye on those Cultivators.
If we go and they flee....
Do our lives or those people matter?
We should kill the rest
so they can't dob us in.
So why wait? Let's kill them.
Childe, have mercy. Childe, spare us.
Childe, have mercy. Spare us.
You speared bodies with Spirit Lure Flags.
What evil spirits were you luring?
Or else...
you're practising evil Cultivation?
Who killed them?
Childe Wei, don't talk nonsense.
- No-one dares kill people. - Yes.
They weren't careful working and fell into the valley.
Yes. Yes.
No-one dares kill people?
Right, right. It's the truth.
No lies at all.
Oh, I see.
Because Wen Sect aren't people to you,
no-one here dares kill people—
That's what you mean?
You thought I can't see your lies?
Yunmeng Jiang Sect and Lanling Jin Sect are on good terms.
Childe Wei, you mustn't...
You're brave.
Are you threatening me?
- No, no, no. - No.
Childe, have mercy. Childe, spare us.
Since none of you will admit it,
let him verify it himself.
Childe, have mercy. Childe, spare us.
Mercy. Childe Wei, mercy.
Mercy, Childe.
Childe Wei, mercy, mercy, mercy.
Young Master Ning.
A-Ning.
Don't.
How can this be?
Why's Wen Ning not under control?
Don't.
Wen Ning!
Don't.
Wei Wuxian.
Stop now!
A-Ning isn't dead.
Just his spiritual cognition is gone.
Wen Ning!
Wen Qionglin!
What happened?
Someone...someone saved them.
Resurrected to kill people.
Lady Qing.
W-who are you? What'd you do to Master?
Nothing.
Who are Wen Ning's Cultivators?
Cut the crap. Step out now.
What's going on?
Everyone on a horse. Quickly!
Childe Wei, this—
It's no time to explain.
Mount and go.
Let's go.
Go.
Lan Zhan.
You'd stop me?
Wei Ying.
Where are you going?
Don't know.
But the world is wide.
There must be a place for us.
Reconsider. If you go,
you desert the righteous path,
with no way back.
Desert the righteous path?
What kind of righteousness?
Lan Zhan.
Remember my pledge made beside you.
