The Untamed
Episode 27
Reconsider.
If you go, you will desert the righteous path
with no way back.
Desert the righteous path?
What kind of righteousness?
Lan Zhan.
Remember my pledge made beside you?
I, Wei Wuxian, will punish evil, aid the weak, with a clear conscience.
I wished to punish evil, help the weak.
But tell me who's strong or weak, right or wrong?
Wei Ying!
Is this the pledge meant to be kept lifelong?
I regret not stopping the Jins using live bait in the Crowd Hunt.
Then Wen Ning won't meet this end.
I missed one chance to save him.
This time, I won't back down.
Besides...
I must save him.
Lan Zhan.
If I have to battle them some day,
I'd rather fight you then.
If I'm doomed, at least
I'd die in Light-bearer's hands.
No regret.
Hya!
Where is this?
Where? Burial Mound.
This...Can people live here?
Why can't we? I lived here three months.
We're old friends.
Follow closely.
Keep up.
[ Golden Koi Tower ]
Even reclusive Teacher Lan came.
I knew this would happen.
See how they fix it.
Guangyao.
You tell the elders here
about what Wei Wuxian did.
This time at Qiongqi Path,
Wei Wuxian made Wen Ning into a puppet
who killed many. Four overseers died.
About fifty Wen remnants escaped.
Wei Wuxian took them to Burial Mound
and took over Xu Chonghai's Demon Subduing Palace.
He set barriers at the mountain foot.
Our people couldn't enter.
He made big trouble.
This matter got out of hand.
I apologize to Jin Sect for him.
If I can make amends,
tell me and I'll do my best.
Leader Jiang, I intended
to say little for your sake.
But some overseers weren't in Jin Sect,
but from other sects, right?
Yes, Wei Ying killed my people.
That's right!
Leader Jin generously let this pass, but we can't.
You all may not know—
Wei Wuxian wished to save Cultivator Wen Ning.
He and his sister, Wen Qing, saved us in Sunshot.
So—
How did they save you?
Didn't Qishan Wen people wipe out Jiang Sect?
I know a little of Wen Qing and Wen Ning.
They attended Lan Sect Lectures.
Their temperaments are unlike those of Wen Sect.
I never met them again,
but during Sunshot,
they weren't involved in killing.
They didn't intervene. Seems Wen Ruohan trusted her.
Wen Qing, though trusted, likely was unable to intervene.
Since they stayed silent during Wen Sect's evil-doing,
that's being bystanders.
They had favour in Wen Sect.
Wen Sect ended. How can they not suffer and pay the price?
Leader Nie is right.
Wen Qing was so trusted
yet you say she wasn't involved in evil-doing. Even if you believe it,
I don't believe it.
Which Wen spilled no blood?
We just don't know yet.
That's right. Those Wen-dogs must be wiped out.
Helping Wen Sect opposes us.
Yes.
Right.
Leader Jiang, this is your business, not mine.
However, because of Wei Ying,
I must caution you.
Please go on.
Wei Ying is your right-hand man valued by you. We know this.
On the contrary,
his respect for you as Sect Leader is questionable.
As a sect leader for many years, I'd never seen a servant
be so arrogant and prideful.
Do you know what outsiders say?
Things like your achievements in Sunshot Campaign
were Wei Wuxian's alone. That's nonsense.
True.
Leader Jin telling Wei Ying to turn in Tiger Seal was well-intentioned.
He fears Wei can't control it, leading to chaos.
Yet Wei meanly misjudged him.
He thinks others covet his treasure. Huh, what a joke.
Of treasures, which sect doesn't have a few.
Besides, his Tiger Seal has unknown origins.
Yeah.
Stygian Iron had four pieces.
At present, the last Stygian Iron Shard hasn't been found.
Xue Yang stole it from Chang Clan.
We were all present.
From Yueyang to Qinghe,
who knows if Wei Ying
and Xue Yang secretly colluded.
Just think! Who made that Wen into a puppet?
Stop discussing it.
Wei Wuxian suspecting my character is no big deal.
But he's in Jiang Sect and owes them gratitude.
He refuses to heed Leader Jiang.
During the formal Flower Banquet,
in front of everyone, he got angry and flounced out.
Behind your back,
at Phoenix Mountain he said
he didn't take Leader Jiang seriously. You heard it, right?
Yes.
Yeah.
Not so!
What did you say?
I did not hear Wei Ying say that.
And I did not hear him express disrespect towards Leader Jiang.
Is that so? After the Hunt,
Childe Wei barged in and said many things,
each quite shocking.
He could've said something like that. I don't recall.
That's right. He's always arrogant and wild with his words.
Who doesn't know
Childe Lan and Wei Ying are on close terms.
At Qionqi Path, if Childe Lan hadn't let him go on purpose,
Wei Ying wouldn't have fled.
Frankly, I've waited to say this.
That Wei Wuxian had some merit in the Sunshot Campaign
but others earned more merit than he did.
Who imagined he'd be so proud of himself.
I thought he was a problem—
eschewing Immortal Cultivation for a demonic path.
Messing with rotten talismans will go wrong sooner or later.
See, his killing intent is exposed.
He indiscriminately killed many of our people for some Wen-dogs.
It's not indiscriminate killing.
Miss, what do you mean by saying that?
I have no other meaning.
I think indiscriminate killing is an unsuitable term.
How's it unsuitable?
Wei Wuxian killed indiscriminately from the start of Sunshot.
Can you deny that?
Sunshot was a battlefield.
Everyone killed indiscriminately.
Focus on this case.
If those overseers who died abused prisoners and killed Wen Ning,
that's not killing indiscriminately.
Ludicrous!
Are you saying he has the right to kill our people?
So we praise it as righteous!
Right. Who knows if the overseers did all that.
Besides, no-one saw it.
Right. Surviving overseers said
they didn't abuse prisoners.
Wen Ning died because he accidentally slipped off the cliff.
They kindly buried him
yet received revenge.
How disappointing.
Those overseers fear blame for abusing and killing prisoners.
They'd insist he fell off himself.
Miss Luo, I see you're quibbling from other motives.
Leader Yao, please explain. What motives?
Need I say. You know deep down.
Don't waste time on her. How can she be in Jin Sect?
I'm ashamed to stand beside her.
Fine. Your voices are louder. You're the rational ones.
In that case, I quit Jin Sect.
Leader Jiang, I think Wei Wuxian's move to Burial Mound
would have been long plotted.
With his skills,
it's not hard for him to set up a sect.
He took the chance to leave your Jiang Sect and fly free.
Leader Jiang, you strove to rebuild Jiang Sect.
Wei Wuxian has controversial traits
and causes you trouble.
He disrespects you
and doesn't care about you.
Not so. Wei Wuxian is like this from young.
Even my father could do nothing.
Bro Fengmian could do nothing?
Bro Fengmian favoured him.
Leader Jiang, you're not your father.
While rebuilding Jiang Sect,
display your authority.
But he never considers backing you up.
What will your disciples think?
Would they emulate him
and look down on you?
Leader Jin, say no more. I'll go to Burial Mound to deal with it.
That's the spirit.
Leader Jiang. Don't tolerate some things and some people.
And that sinister Tiger Seal...
I'll tell him to hand it in. I'll report back.
Good. Everyone heard?
Pity about Leader Jiang's table. He even crushed his cup.
Seems he was really angry.
Second Bro, where's Wangji?
I saw him leave early.
This girl sure has backbone.
That's right.
But...
Childe Wei's matter is troublesome.
Childe Wei is really powerful.
He raised the dead.
According to overseers,
Wei Wuxian made Wen Ning into a fierce corpse.
That Wei Ying is too reckless.
But the Shard case isn't solved.
Maybe Childe Wei didn't take it.
If not him, who else?
That Wei Ying has potential
yet rejects the right path.
You! Take this as a lesson.
Yes. Big Brother is right.
Wangji!
You know your faults?
You sneaked into Forbidden Room—
I didn't punish you, as I hoped you'd recognize your error.
You ran off to Qiongqi Path
and let Wei Wuxian's mob go.
You add mistake to mistake.
All those rules I taught—
what's the outcome?
I ask you, of our rules,
what's number 52?
'Do not associate with evil'.
You forgot your father's lesson?!
My mother—
Hold your tongue.
Wangji.
I watched you grow up.
I treated you like my own.
I'm always strict with you
in hope you stay on the right path.
I don't want you to follow your father's example.
I've made my point.
I hope you take the right path.
Go.
I-I'm taking a walk.
Childe Jin.
Lady Jiang.
Childe Jin, I must find my Brother.
Farewell.
Won't I mind?
Lady Jiang.
I-I know what happened today.
But it's Wei Wuxian's business.
Childe Jin, I'm so sorry you're involved in this mess.
Tomorrow,
tomorrow with A-Cheng, I'll leave Golden Koi Tower.
You're going? Where?
Is it to Burial Mound?
Can you not go?
Lady Jiang.
Stay. Stay at Golden Koi Tower.
No matter what others say...
trust in me.
I'll take care of you all my life.
Senior Sister!
Wei Wuxian!
Wei Wuxian? Wei Wuxian!
Wen Qing, it's burnt again.
Wei Wuxian, you ignored my calls.
You know I've been here three days and nights.
Why ask?
Too much backchat.
Then don't eat!
Don't snatch.
Oh right.
He hears now.
Talk to him more. He may wake sooner.
A-Ning!
Can you hear what I say?
A-Ning.
- Uncle Four. - Yes.
Childe Wei.
Will we till all this today?
Yes, then we can grow crops.
This one, this one.
A-Yuan, quit it.
Make it talk, make it talk.
Okay, okay, loosen up.
Loosen up...
Here, go play.
A-Yuan, if you hang around me,
I'll plant you in the soil like a radish.
A-Yuan, you want to be a radish?
Fine, be still. If you move, I won't plant you.
Here it goes!
I'll plant a big radish.
In days, it will multiply.
Everyone will eat!
But I'm not a radish.
Then plant a kid.
Add water and fertilizer.
With sunlight,
many kids will grow!
I want three kid bros and two kid sisters.
No problem.
I'll give you three kid bros and two kid sisters.
Will they look like me or radishes?
That's hard to say.
Do you want them to look like you,
or like radishes?
Wei Wuxian!
What are you doing?
Auntie, we're growing little bros and sisters.
A-Yuan, how about we grow aunties?
After we grow a lot of aunties, they'll do the work!
Get up. Come.
Wei Wuxian, I wasn't gone long.
You dirtied him.
Fine if you can't help, but you mess up.
A-Yuan's clothes from yesterday aren't washed. You dirtied these.
What will he wear tomorrow?
You wash his clothes today!
That's others' work.
How can I do that job?
Wash them or not?
With pleasure...
- Leader. - Well?
Talismans surround Burial Mound.
We're unable to enter.
You all stay here.
I'll go look.
Leader! You may be in danger alone.
- Plant potatoes. - Plant radishes.
Radishes taste bad.
Radishes grow well.
No, potatoes.
I said radishes.
Childe Wei!
Jiang Cheng, good timing.
Tell me if it's better to plant radishes or potatoes?
Why look? Keep working.
What are you doing?
You can't see? Building houses.
Building houses? So why are those people digging?
Don't say you'll grow food.
Didn't you see?
Food will grow there.
You farm on a mountain of corpses. Will food be edible?
Trust me, when you're very hungry,
you eat anything.
You'll really stay long term?
Is this hellhole livable?
I lived here three months.
Not returning to Lotus Pier?
Yunmeng and Yiling are close.
When I want, I can sneak back.
In your dreams!
Where's this kid from?
Get off!
What "get off"? Speak properly.
A-Yuan, why hug any leg you see?
Don't bite your soiled nails.
Know what soil this is?
Come here, come here...
Where's Granny?
- A-Yuan, come. - Go to Granny.
- Granny! - Come.
Go slowly.
Play with Granny.
Sect leaders thought you gathered dregs
to control the mountain.
It's only the old, weak, women, kids - not worth concern.
What "not worth concern"?
Speak properly.
Where's Wen Ning?
Why suddenly ask about him?
People keep asking me.
Who else do I ask? I had to see you.
What are you doing?
Don't worry.
Jiang Cheng won't harm an old friend he's visiting.
He just calmed down. Don't disturb him.
I know.
No arguing inside.
Okay, okay, okay.
Why stand there?
Let's go.
Don't step on it! I need this. (Wind-Evil Compass)
I'm almost done making it.
Don't crush it!
I need it too. Almost done. (Spirit Lure Flag)
You threw it down. Don't blame me.
I live alone. So what if I did?
You really...
You live here?
Wen Ning.
Wen Ning, you have a visitor.
He can hear.
Why's he like this?
Don't resurrected dead get stronger and violent,
killing without blinking.
Resurrected? Where's a living resurrected person?
A-Ning as a child had his soul partly eaten by Dancing Goddess.
So villains used him as rare live bait to lure spirits.
When we found him,
evil spirits engulfed him and his pulse was gone.
Just a last breath was left.
I wanted to use Tiger Seal's power
and Wen Ning's hands to punish Jin people.
I never expected
to turn him into a mindless puppet.
Mindlessness doesn't kill.
Wen Ning is timid and weak.
He often hid his emotions.
On losing his mind, all his pain,
anger, anxiety and unease
all erupted.
What now?
Now I want to awaken his mind.
You're unrealistic again! Is he even human?
How's he differ from puppets we killed?
Wei Wuxian.
Was it you who...
Jiang Cheng.
You too think I took that Shard?
Cloud Recesses bans liquor but said nothing about this.
Tastes as good as Emperor's Smile.
Here, for you.
