The Untamed
Lan Zhan, don't heed him. I never blamed you.
Leader Jiang, beware the music.
Episode 48
Wen Ning...told you when?
After you blacked out.
That’s how we left Lotus Pier?
He felt sorry for you.
I told him often not to say it.
Don’t say what?
Wei Wuxian, you’re so selfless,
so great.
You did a great deed and kept the burden to yourself.
How touching.
Should I kneel and cry in gratitude?
Uncle, don’t talk.
I didn’t ask for thanks.
Naturally! Give for no return.
So high level, unlike me.
No wonder Father
said you understood Jiang Clan's motto
- and had Jiang style. - Enough.
Enough what?
Is it your call?
You beat me in everything—
talent, Cultivation, power, personality.
You all knew I’m lower level. So what am I?
- Leader Jiang. - Uncle, your injury.
Leader Jiang, decorum.
Be calm. Talking worsens your injury.
Why, Wei Wuxian?
Tell me why?
Why what?
Jiang Clan gave you so much.
Clearly I'm the son.
I'm Jiang Clan successor.
But all those years, I was outdone by you.
Raising you cost lives—
My dad, my mom, my sister.
Even Jin Zixuan’s life.
Because of you, Jin Ling is an orphan.
Wei Wuxian, who broke vows
and betrayed Jiang Clan?
You said
I'd be Sect Leader, you'd be my deputy...
aiding me always.
"So Gusu has Two Jades? We'll have Two Prides!"
You'd never betray Jiang Sect.
Who said that?
I asked who said that!
Did you eat your words?
And in the end?
You saved outsiders,
even Wen Clan.
What did you owe them
to jump into defecting?
How'd you regard my clan?
You did good deeds
that forced you to do bad things.
What were your unspeakable grievances?
Grievances? You said nothing,
treated me like a fool!
Uncle!
Wei Wuxian. You owe Jiang Clan.
Shouldn't I hate you?!
I can’t hate you?!
Why's it seem I wronged you?
Why do I feel I was a clown all these years?
What am I?
Do I deserve to be blinded by your brilliance?
I shouldn’t hate you?!
Light-bearer, Uncle is hurt.
Let him come. Do I fear him?!
Why?
Why, Wei Wuixan?
Why didn’t you tell me?
Because I didn’t want to see you being like this.
You said
I'd be Sect Leader, you'd be my deputy—
assisting me always,
never betraying Jiang Clan.
You said so yourself.
I’m sorry. I broke my promise.
It's already at this point
yet I wanted your apology.
What a fragile person I am.
I’m sorry.
You needn't say sorry to me.
Take it as my repaying Jiang Clan.
This matter
shouldn't stay in your heart.
Forget it.
Though, with your personality, you’ll dwell on it.
But I must say,
I think it's in the past.
Those matters are in a previous life.
Let it all go.
Don't let it entangle us.
Second Brother.
Where am I?
Leader, how are you?
I'm fine. You saved me in time.
What happened?
A careless moment.
Minshan, wrap my wrist tightly!
It's poison?
It's no big deal. It can be purged with effort.
Leader, I'll go see!
Leader!
Big brother!
Big Brother?
You...
What were you planning?
Lord Zewu. You mistook Leader Jin.
From what I see,
he didn't bury what's inside.
If he did bury something,
someone swapped it.
Am I right?
Leader Jin.
Wei Wuxian! Is this your trick?
I'm not bragging
but if I pulled a trick,
your leader's injury
won't just be an arm.
Leader Jin, remember back at Golden Koi Tower,
Qin Su gave you that letter?
The one who told Qin Su your 'good' deeds
was Madam Qin’s maid, Bicao.
But why'd Bicao suddenly expose everything?
Is there really no-one behind her?
And you locked up Sisi.
Who saved her,
then sent her and Bicao to Yunmeng Jiang Sect
to tell your secrets in front of everyone?
If he unearthed your secret doings,
came here in advance,
swapped what you wanted with some trap
triggered by your digging,
what's impossible for him?
Leader, this soil was dug by someone from the other side!
As expected!
Leader Jin, have you thought
you're the predator
but a hunter is behind you?
That person who's always been watching you
may be hiding now, observing your every move.
Oh no, no, not right.
Maybe he's not human.
Wei Wuxian. Quit the empty intimidation!
Don't waste energy arguing.
After I expel the poison, gather those alive to leave.
Aye.
[ Hall of Guanyin ]
Leader, everything is ready.
Treat your injuries first.
Yes.
Su She is sarcastic to others
but sure is respectful to Jin Guangyao.
Turn around!
So it's you!
100-Holes Curse!
After searching fruitlessly for so long,
I chanced on it.
Brother, what's going on?
Was this in Qiongqi ambush plan?
You asked us to invite Childe Wei
because you knew Jin Zixun
planned to kill him due to 100-Holes Curse.
Is that so?
Zixun, do you have any grudges against Wei?
Second Bro, why ask me?
It's obvious!
If Jin Zixun wasn't cursed, there'd have been no fallout.
That ambush got rid of Jin Zixuan and Jin Zixun, your peers.
It let you be Lan Sect heir
as well as Immortal Chief!
Su She cast the curse, but who gave the order?
Need I ask?
Jin Guangyao, I have no enmity with you.
I hardly knew you.
You killed Jin Zixuan. Why push the blame on me?
Childe Wei, you know it well.
No grudge, no enmity, makes you safe?
How can that be?
In life, everyone begins with no grudges.
Someone will stab you eventually.
Despicable villain!
Villain?
Who are you to call Leader a villain?
You all call yourselves noble.
But you were born into good families!
How can you look down on us?
Aren't we outer disciples human?
If I had ability to protect myself, could others threaten me?
Would I be swept out of Gusu Lan Sect like a pile of leaves.
- Would. - You!
Betrayers aren't tolerated in Gusu Lan Sect.
Light-bearer Lord, I can't stand your arrogant attitude!
Just for my one small mistake, you'll never forgive me.
I'm considered inferior to you since my birth.
Other than Clan Leader, who here showed me respect?
I tell you two.
Anyone as arrogant as Jin Zixun—
I'll kill every single one who comes my way!
Why are you laughing?
Nothing.
I just never expected...
Never expected what?
I never expected you guys harmed so many people
just because...
just because of that.
Childe Wei, you feel unfortunate?
Actually, it's not an unjustice.
- Not unjust? - Yes.
Childe Wei, think back to that year.
Even if we hadn't cursed Jin Zixun,
you'd be besieged sooner or later for some reason.
Because you're that type.
At best, you're a chivalrous, untamed hero.
At worst, you offend people wherever you go.
It's fine if those people are safe
but, if something bad happens,
you're first suspect, you're first target.
And this is...!
something you can never control.
Even if you hadn't lost control at Nevernight,
could you ensure you didn't lose control all your life?
That's why your kind are destined to die early.
See? Don't you feel better thinking of it this way?
You'll die early!
Harlot's son, bearing no shame as long as you rise to the top!
Leader Jiang, calm down.
I understand how you feel.
You're angry now because you found out the truth.
And when you reflect on your deeds,
your proud heart feels guilt.
So you're anxious to find a culprit for Childe Wei's incidents—
a villain to take the blame.
Leader Jiang. If pushing all liability on me
makes you feel better, do so.
But you must clearly see,
for Childe Wei's ending,
you're partly responsible.
In fact, heavily responsible.
Why'd everyone crusade against Yiling Patriarch
or shout support?
Why was he one-sidedly condemned by all?
For justice? Of course not.
The reason, in part,
is you.
Shut up!
After Sunshot Campaign,
Lanling Jin Clan, Qinghe Nie Clan and Gusu Lan Clan split the spoils
and shared power.
And you'd just rebuilt Lotus Pier.
Behind you was vastly dangerous Wei Wuxian.
Do you think sects liked seeing
a young sect leader with such powerful, unbeatable backing?
Leader Jiang, if you'd been nicer to your Senior Brother,
showing everyone your bond was unbreakable...
Or if you'd shown him more tolerance to deter others' discord...
things wouldn’t be this way.
Jin Guangyao, you're vicious.
Is that so?
But, Leader Jiang, don't forget.
One of the main forces besieging Burial Mound
was yours.
Being called a harlot's son got you talking a lot.
Seems being called a harlot's son is Leader Jin’s weak spot.
No wonder you killed Red Blade Lord.
- Prepare to leave! - Aye.
Leader Jin!
How'd you kill Red Blade Lord?
Why not tell us?
You and Xue Yang aimed to turn Red Blade Lord into a puppet.
You put in effort to do so.
Aren't you afraid?
What am I afraid of?
Afraid he'll look for you.
( bordello where Meng Yao was raised )
Meng Yao!
Meng Yao, you'll die miserably!
Meng Yao!
Lowlife!
Yiling Patriarch deserves the title.
Even without Xue Yang's recreated half-Tiger Seal,
even without Chenqing,
you can control spirits.
Lord Zewu, you regained spiritual energy.
Leader Jin, hand it over.
It's no use in your hands.
Leader Jin, may I ask a question?
What materials made this Seal?
Xue Yang's one Shard couldn't forge it.
I picked one up.
You have such good luck.
Randomly picked up
a piece that hundreds of Cultivators scrambled for.
Since you've guessed,
why need you ask?
So you began from that time to covet Tiger Seal.
Probably earlier.
You and Xue Yang first collaborated
at Unclean Realm, right?
Childe Wei, why are you here?
I fetched liquor and lost my way.
Why weren't you at the banquet?
I was ordered to watch Xue Yang.
This place is like an iron bucket.
Reckon Xue Yang can't escape.
Thanks for your efforts.
This way.
Kind of.
You outright admitted it.
In this situation, admitting it or denying it
makes no difference.
You worked with Xue Yang just to experiment with Tiger Seal?
Xue Yang hid a Shard. To save Xiao Xingchen,
he joined me to recreate Tiger Seal.
Who knew our united power
only made half a Tiger Seal.
Childe Wei, there is one thing I pondered on.
I wanted to ask you.
What is it?
I originally thought you took Xue Yang's Shard
to create Tiger Seal.
It proved untrue.
You want to ask how I got Stygian Iron, right?
Exactly.
Xue Yang actually told me.
Everyone believed there were only four Shards. It wasn't true.
So that's it.
"All energy of the four directions belongs to Xuanwu."
So it means that.
You did so many evil things...
striving so hard just for Stygian Tiger Seal.
Not completely.
You won't ask the reason?
I'm not unaware of your misdeeds
but I always believed you had a reason.
But now,
you've done too much.
I don't know if I should believe you.
Second Brother.
I was wrong.
Well...Leader Jin, can we stop talking?
Nicely use our hands to fight.
Second Brother, you've known me many years.
No matter what, you know how I've treated you.
I give up being Immortal Chief.
Tiger Seal is handed over.
Tonight I'll set off for Dongying and never return.
For the sake of all this...
Let me take my own road.
