The Untamed
I'll lead them to Blood Pool.
Light-bearer will do the killing.
Here is a target.
You look like a relative of mine.
Episode 46
Jin Guangyao's Jin Clan footing
needed Qin Cangye as a reliable father-in-law.
How could he not marry her?
So immoral, that Jin Guangyao!
He's unparalleled. Who'd do such a thing!
That's right.
No wonder he told Qin Su in the secret room
that A-Song had to die.
Look, look! I'm not wrong.
I heard rumours his son wan't assassinated
but killed by himself!
Leader Yao, what do you mean?
Everyone knows, among kids born to siblings,
eight of ten will be dull-witted.
People may not notice when the kid is small.
But once he grows up,
the fact he is witless will be obvious.
If they had a doltish kid,
people would point fingers at Jin Guangyao and tattle.
They'd say Jin Guangyao's dirty harlot's bloodline
led to his kid's dim-wittedness, and other crazy rumours.
And think about this.
Back then, the one who harmed Jin Ru Song
was a Sect Leader opposing his Immortal Chief post.
How's there such a coincidence?
So, he schemed to kill Jin Ru Song,
framed that Leader, then used revenge as an excuse
to punish that Leader publicly.
It sounds heartless, but he killed two birds with one stone.
Fragrance Master is a good strategist.
During Koi Tower Discussion Congress, you met Qin Su?
I....
That night in Fragrance Hall, Qin Su and Jin Guangyao argued.
She said she met someone
who told her some things
and gave her a letter. Qin Su said that person won't lie.
Was it you?
It was me.
You held this secret for years.
Why'd you suddenly tell her?
And why suddenly make it public?
Because.. because I wanted to let Young Miss know
her husband's true colours.
I didn't plan to make it public.
But Young Miss suddenly killed herself at Koi Tower.
So I must expose this monster
to get justice for Madam and Young Miss.
You really don't know?
Your telling her the secret
led her to kill herself.
I disagree with what you said.
Is it right to hide the truth?
Oh, nice bangle you have there.
So, whoever sent these two—
Who can it be?
Why fuss about it?
We can be certain he’s a man of justice on our side!
- That's right! - He's on our side!
Many points of suspicion.
What are those points?
There are a lot.
Such as, seeing how cruel Jin Guangyao is,
why'd he kill those call-girls
but spare Sisi's life?
Now we have witnesses, what about proof?
It may take a while to work it all out.
Jin Guangyao fawned over Red Blade Lord and Lord Zewu
to climb step by step.
Or how could a harlot’s son reach his position?
How dare he lay hands on Red Blade Lord!
Lord Zewu is with him now.
Hope nothing happens to him!
Sworn and natural brothers suffered.
Before his dad died, Guangyao got rid of his love-children
for fear of rivalry.
Seems Mo Xuanyu got off lightly.
If he hadn't gone mad,
maybe he'd have disappeared like those others.
Jin Zixuan’s death must be related!
Don't forget about Xue Yang!
Didn't Xue Yang escape?
That'd be Jin Guangyao's doing!
Yeah, didn't Xue Yang's Tiger Seal control puppets?
Judging from this, Guangyao
killed his father, wife, son,
master, friend…
How terrifying!
As for today, I think Jin Guangyao
noticed other sects have expanded and gotten stronger,
and he felt threatened.
So he feared he’d end up like Wen Clan,
attacked and overthrown!
He probably made up his mind to trap us and get rid of us!
If that's the case, let’s make his fears become a reality.
Let's all attack Golden Koi Tower!
That's right! Attack Golden Koi Tower!
Capture Jin Guangyao alive!
Just one day ago,
this feared man was Fragrance Lord praised by all.
Who'd imagine, in just a day, everyone wants to beat him up.
Capture Jin Guangyao alive!
Mister Wei! Mister Wei!
Jin Guangyao has Tiger Seal.
We’ll entrust this matter to you.
That’s right! Nobody ranks higher than Yiling Patriarch in such Cultivation!
Now things look bad for Jin Guangyao!
That's right!
It seems so.
Yes. Capture Guangyao!
Turn Jin Guangyao into ashes!
Lan Zhan, what do you think?
We know who sent the letter, not who wrote it.
He saved Sisi and persuaded her to testify.
He bribed Bicao to tell Qin Su.
He timed it right
for the two to publicise Jin Guangyao's dirty deeds.
Every step this person made was meticulously planned.
His level isn't below Jin Guangyao.
But I assume this guy led us to Red Blade Lord.
There is no proof.
Whether friend or foe,
his intentions are unclear.
But evidence on Jin Guangyao
nailed everything on him.
I will send this news to brother. It will caution him.
What is wrong?
Nothing. That's Jiang Clan Ancestral Hall.
Want to go in?
No.
Uncle Jiang, Madam Yu, Senior Sister.
It's me. I've come to disturb you.
[ Yu Ziyuan ]
[ Jiang Fengmian ]
[ Jiang Yanli ]
I was a frequenter in this place.
Madam Yu punished me all the time.
I heard of a few things.
If Gusu people know,
how's it "a few things"?
But all these years,
I've never seen another woman as irritable as Madam Yu.
However small the matter,
she told me to kneel here.
My fault, my fault, my fault.
Will you tell Jiang Cheng?
I don't know.
At least not yet.
After all, you are Brothers.
Jiang Cheng and my grudges run deep.
It's not easy to resolve.
Besides, Tiger Seal is my creation.
Whether Jin Guangyao was involved won't change this fact.
Wei Wuxian!
Really don't act like an outsider.
Come and go as you want.
Bring whoever you want.
Recall whose house this is?
Who the owner is?
I didn't take Light-bearer to Lotus Pier private places.
I brought him to light incense
to greet Uncle Jiang and Madam Yu.
We'll go now.
You should kneel to them—
for coming before them to dirty their eyes
and soil their peace.
Leader Jiang, mind your words.
Mind my words?
Someone else should mind himself.
You got expelled long ago.
You dare face my parents
and my sister.
- Jiang Wanyin. - Lan Zhan.
Lan Zhan, let's go.
Go as far as possible.
Don't let me see you awful people in front of the departed.
Jiang Cheng.
You can yell at me, not others.
Need I be polite to him?
Wei Wuxian.
Your memory is very bad. Let me remind you.
Because you played hero
and saved Childe Lan,
Lotus Pier and my parents went down for you.
Wasn't it enough? You saved Wen Clan.
My sister died for that.
You're so great!
What's more, you're so generous—
Bringing those two to Lotus Pier.
Ghost General strolls out front.
Childe Lan burns incense,
giving me and them pain.
Childe Lan, you opened my eyes.
One of Gusu's Two Jades
ignores Lan Sect repute
to connive with Wei Wuxian, Yiling Patriarch.
Really honour your uncle and brother.
Jiang Wanyin!
- Apologize now! - Apologize? Why should I?
Did I insult your intimate friendship?
- Are you done? - If you want to fight, let's.
Wei Ying.
Lan Zhan, let's go.
Okay.
Stop there.
What? You were so tough now.
Don't want to fight? Fight!
Let go.
Wei Ying!
Lan Zhan, let's go.
Okay.
- Stop there. - Get lost!
Who let you inside Lotus Pier?
How dare you?
What do you want?
Pull it.
I warn you. If you don't want to be turned to ashes,
get your feet off Lotus Pier.
Get out!
Do it. Pull it!
So what if I do?
It unsealed?
It didn't unseal.
Even now, it's sealed.
If you sheathe it and ask another to pull it out, whoever it is
can't pull it out.
Why? So why can I pull it out?
This sword sees you as Childe Wei.
How's it see me as Wei Wuxian?
How can it? Why me?
Because in your body now,
the revolving Golden Core
is his.
Sister, he won't wake, right?
He won't.
Come out.
Transfer the Core.
- What nonsense are you saying? - I'm not.
Shut up!
My Golden Core, my Golden Core...
Baoshan Wanderer fixed it.
How'd you know? He even told you that?
No.
Childe Wei never told this to anyone.
- I saw it myself. - Liar!
You were there? How could you be?
Only I went up the mountain. How'd you follow.
- I didn't follow. - Liar!
Then listen. See if I'm lying.
A black cloth blindfolded you.
You held a long branch.
Near the top, Stone Forest took an hour to pass.
Then you heard bell chimes that set birds into flight.
You held the branch tightly
like a sword.
As the chimes faded, a sword pressed your chest.
A woman's voice stopped you going forward.
Who are you? Why come?
I'm the son of Baoshan's disciple, Cangse— Wei Ying,
visiting Baoshan.
You stopped there,
looking very nervous, almost a bit excited.
The woman's low voice
asked who you were, why you were there.
- You replied... - Shut up!
You replied you were Cangse Wanderer's son, Wei Ying.
You told her of Jiang Sect elimination, Lotus Pier chaos,
and Wen Zhuliu dissolving your Golden Core.
The woman asked you about your parents.
As you answered,
a fragrant smell
made you lose consciousness.
How'd you know? How do you know?
I told you. I was there.
Not only I was there. Childe Wei was there.
Not just me and him.
My sister, Wen Qing, was also there.
Leader Jiang, did you think
that was Baoshan Wanderer's secluded home?
It was a deserted Yiling mountain.
No way. There's no way!
You're talking nonsense.
Why'd you lie? What about my Golden Core?
How'd my Golden Core get mended?
- Your Golden Core was never mended! - No.
No! No...!
Leader, you haven't guessed?
You think it was mended because of my sister,
Qishan Wen Clan's best doctor, Wen Qing.
She pulled out Childe Wei's Golden Core
and put it in you.
Why did you think he no longer used Suibian?
Just youthful arrogance?
Did he like others, to his face, behind his back,
criticising him for no manners, no discipline?
Useless for him to carry it.
He lost his Golden Core, with little power left.
If he drew his sword, he couldn't support it long.
Your sword.
Wei Wuxian. Suibian has been found. Why aren't you using it?
I don't want to.
On future occasions, don't forget your sword.
How many times must you clean your sword?
Where's yours? How long's it been?
As for crafty tricks,
why would he suddenly switch to demonism?
He became loathed Yiling Patriarch
because he had no Golden Core.
He could no longer Cultivate the sword.
Just because of this, he had no other choice.
- Jiang Cheng! Don't be so angry— - Go away!
What's wrong? So drunk your power is lost?
Look at yourself! Even said you'd assist me.
Stay away!
Jiang Cheng, this is your only chance!
Don't be reckless next time.
Take this sword
to dining halls, or training grounds,
or any place.
Find anyone to draw the sword.
See if any of them can pull it out.
Then you'll know if I lied or not.
- Leader Jiang. - No way.
You're so eager to win.
You spend your life competing.
But you never would have equalled him.
No way.
No way. No way! No way!
No way.
You're lying to me. Lying to me!
Childe Lan, let's leave quickly with Childe Wei.
Childe Lan.
What is it?
Please, don't tell Childe Wei
I revealed the secret about his Golden Core.
He told me never to tell a soul
yet he'll find out I did.
- But I— - Do not worry.
Thanks for speaking for us at Koi Tower.
I'll always remember. Thank you.
And thanks for these years of taking care of A-Yuan.
I thought all my Clan died.
No others survived.
Never imagined A-Yuan was alive.
He and my cousin, when he was 20 years old,
look so similar.
It was the day Wen Clan became ashes.
I looked for Wei Ying at Burial Mound and found A-Yuan.
He hid inside the cave too long.
Had a high fever, was very ill.
I knew he must've been sick.
He doesn't remember the past.
I chatted with him a long time. He kept talking about you.
In the past, he talked about Childe Wei.
Anyway, he didn't talk about me.
You did not tell him?
You mean about his birth?
He's doing well right now.
Knowing other matters,
remembering heavy things,
might affect his well being.
Sooner or later he will know.
I know. Sooner or later.
Just like Childe Wei and Sect Leader Jiang.
Leader Jiang would know of the Core transfer sooner or later.
Can't keep it a secret from Leader Jiang forever.
Was it painful?
What?
Core excision. Was it painful?
If I say it wasn't painful,
you won't believe me.
I thought Wen Qing would have a way.
Before going up the mountain, my sister made anesthetics
to ease the pain of Core removal.
But she found out anesthetics weren't of use.
Because, in excising the Golden Core, separating it from the body,
if a person is under anesthesia,
the Golden Core is affected—
It's hard to tell if or when the Core might dissolve.
So?
So, the Core donor must be awake.
He watched his Golden Core peel away from connected meridians.
He had to feel his surging spiritual energy subside,
die down, little by little,
until there was no movement ever again.
Constantly awake?
Two days, one night, constantly awake.
At that time, what were the chances?
About half.
Half?!
After all, no one had ever tried transferring a Golden Core.
No-one would be willing to donate their Core to another.
Because in doing so,
he would become someone who'd never reach the pinnacle,
a useless person.
So...
when Childe Wei begged,
my sister refused at the start.
But Childe Wei pestered,
said half is good. Half and half.
If it failed, with a ruined Core,
he wouldn't regret it.
But Leader Jiang was a different case.
He's too driven,
cares about gain and loss.
Cultivation is his life.
If Leader Jiang could only be
mediocre, unable to rise in life,
his life would be over.
Why did you give up the sword for other means?
What are you angling at?
This evil path will exact a price.
History has had no exception.
This evil path harms your body and heart.
How can others know my heart?
Wei Wuxian!
Lan Zhan, how did we get out?
We fought.
I knew it. Jiang Cheng won't let me go so easily.
That brat,
really unbelievable.
Lan Zhan, don't mind what Jiang Cheng said.
He's like this since young.
When he's angry, he says really harsh things,
giving up discipline and grace.
As long as it upsets whoever,
he'll say anything.
All these years, he hasn't improved.
So, don't take it to heart.
We're just...
Childe, we paddled to Lotus Lake.
I know.
When young, I came here with Senior Sister to play.
A-Xian.
Here, have lotus seeds.
Senior Sister.
Childe Wei.
Childe.
In this world, the three of us are closest.
Senior Sister.
I'm hungry.
Why act like a child?
Childe, what's wrong?
I'm hungry.
Lan Zhan.
Wen Ning.
It's good timing.
Wei Ying.
What?
Is there an owner of this lake?
Of course not.
I heard lotus lakes here have owners.
Light-bearer, you heard a lot of things. I didn't know.
Fine, fine.
Wen Ning, let's go.
There is no next time.
Jin Clan butterfly message?
What is it? What's it say?
Jin Guangyao is in Yunmeng.
Instead of healing at Jin Sect, he came to Yunmeng?
Brother did not reply.
You fear Jin Guangyao is desperate.
But Jin Guangyao's movements
are hard to understand.
[ Title Deed ]
[ Yunmeng, Yunping City ]
Yunmeng, Yunping City.
I know.
Lan Zhan, I know.
Know what?
I know where Jin Guangyao went.
- Where? - Yunping City.
- Yunping City? -That's right.
Lan Zhan, remember I told you Fragrant Palace secret room
had Red Blade Lord's head.
Also "Collection of Turmoil" and a deed.
And that place is in Yunping City.
What is this place?
I don't know.
I know the address.
Jin Sect is rich.
If Jin Guangyao didn't value that place,
he won't put the deed with Red Blade Lord's head.
So I think if Jin Guangyao came to Yunmeng,
he'd have gone to Yunping City.
Wen Ning, Yunping City.
Miss, can I ask if this is Yunping City?
This is Yunping City.
- Thank you. - It's nothing.
Lan Zhan, we're here. Let's go and look.
Childe!
- Pass it. - Childe!
Childe!
Don't bully him.
Childe!
Lan Zhan. You kept it?
You won't get it.
Childe!
Quick, look. Butterflies.
Butterflies.
A lot of butterflies.
- Butterflies. - There are more.
