[Sword Dynasty]
[Episode 1]
Autumn of Yunwu Eleventh Year. Fish market in the east of Fengming City.
Ding Ning Born with a hyperactive "yang" condition, exposing him to the risk of dying prematurely. Together with Zhangsun Qianxue, they disguised themselves as "Auntie" and "Nephew." Their aim is to seek revenge on the Emperor of Heng."
[Fish Market]
Boatman, send me out please.
All right.
Song Shenshu, Third Realm. Treasurer of the Library of Classics and Historical Records. A traitor of the Bashan Sword Academy. Now, an official of the Heng Kingdom Library of Classical History.
Could it be due to the water level that
the route taken today is slightly different from the usual one?
It is different.
But it is not because of the water level.
Song Shenshu, are government officials not banned from entering the fish market?
You know me?
What are you trying to do?
Ten years ago, you were present in the Great Palace Hall, isn't it?
I am just a creditor of yours.
I have come to collect from you the old debt from ten years ago.
I will enter the Fourth Realm very soon.
You have overestimated your own capabilities,
and are striking the stone with an egg.
You are scared now?
You have the skills of the Nine Death Silkworm?!
How does it feel like to betray your master for glory and power now?
If I were to tell you somethings that are even more important than my life,
would you let me off?
Speak.
Lin Zhujiu... of Bashan Sword Academy is still alive.
What did you say?
He is being imprisoned in a cell in the deepest part of the Great Floating Water Prison.
The Emperor of Heng Kingdom wants to get hold of certain secrets of cultivation from him,
and did not kill him all this while. Everyone else thought that he is dead.
Even Minister Li does not know about this secret!
You should be satisfied this time, right?
Very good.
Then, you can go die now!
You have paid the debt you owed that person.
But you owe Bashan Sword Academy so many lives.
You will not be able to repay them all.
I will definitely kill whosoever dares to stop me from taking revenge from the Emperor of Heng Kingdom!
Ten Years Ago.
Liang Jingmeng, Seventh Realm. Head of the world's No. 1 clan, Bashan Sword Academy.
Yangming City, Lie Kingdom.
Yuan Wu, Emperor of Heng Kingdom, Seventh Realm. Determined to rule the word, to give the common people a peaceful life free from the hardships of wars.
Report! Emperor Lie, Emperor Heng has been shot by an arrow and has fallen from his horse!
[Emperor of Lie Kingdom] Kill the Emperor of Heng Kingdom! Destroy the Heng Kingdom!
Kill!
Bashan Sword Academy is here to provide reinforcement!
Ye Zhen, Sixth Realm, Bashan Sword Academy. Successor of Xiaozhong County in Heng Kingdom. Fiancee of Liang Jingmeng.
I had thought that I would be defeated here in Yangming City today.
If I am alive, you will never be defeated.
Followers of Heng Kingdom will be victorious!
- Long live Great Heng! - Long live Great Heng!
In a time when the Four Kingdoms are impeding one another, battles are fought one after another.
When will the end come?
The Lie Kingdom has been destroyed. In less than ten years,
Bashan will help Great Heng take down the remaining three kingdoms.
It is timely now for the Emperor to make an unprecedented move of [Royal Palace of Great Heng]
building a Kingdom of Great Heng which belongs to him.
There is peace in the world. The common people are in good health.
This world belongs to you too.
I just want Bashan Sword Academy,
and Ye Zhen. These are enough for me.
This is really great.
That's right. Not only did we save the Emperor,
we even helped Great Heng to take down the Kingdom of Lie. [Liang Lian, Bashan Sword Academy.] [Song Shenshu, Bashan Sword Academy.]
Why do I keep feeling that something is not quite right today? [Lin Zhujiu, Military Advisor of Bashan Sword Academy, Liang Jingmeng's close friend.]
The Emperor has invited the disciples of Bashan Sword Academy to go into the palace to receive their reward.
- Going to receive our reward! - Let's go receive our reward! - Please.
Let's go!
Come, Brothers!
Let's all drink a toast together to Liang Jingmeng, the Head of the Bashan Sword Academy!
Without the Head of the Academy,
Great Heng would most certainly have been defeated by Kingdom of Lie in this battle!
Come, let's drink up!
- Drink up! - Drink up!
Come! Brother Jingmeng.
I want to drink a toast to you too.
Now, everyone in the world knows about Liang Jingmeng.
Without Liang Jingmeng, there would not be a Kingdom of Heng.
Without the Kingdom of Heng, how would there be an Emperor of Heng?
The world has been conquered by Liang Jingmeng and the disciples of Bashan.
Of course I must drink this toast to you.
Your Majesty, you must be joking.
Without Your Majesty, how would Great Heng be powerful and and formidable?
And how would there be a Liang Jingmeng of Bashan Sword Academy?
I and Jingmeng will drink a toast to you.
Jingmeng.
Long live my emperor! Long live Great Heng!
Ye Zhen!
Only if you die can the disciples of Bashan live.
Liang Jingmeng, you have shown great disrespect to His Majesty.
Do you admit to your crime?
There is poison in the wine!
Protect His Majesty!
-
If you want to kill His Majesty, you'll have to kill me first!
I have said before that
I will never harm you.
But why this?
The divine skills of the Nine-Death Silkworm?!
Attack!
Release you hand now.
Quickly release your hand!
- Head! - Head!
Liang Jingmeng attempted to assissinate His Majesty,
and has been executed.
Those who obey and follow my emperor will be promoted to the ranks of nobility.
Those who oppose him will be killed without being pardoned!
Yuan Wu and Ye Zhen,
as well as those who had betrayed the Bashan Sword Academy,
I want all of you to repaid this blood debt with your blood!
Fengming City, the capital of the Kingdom of Heng.
Although you have passed away for many years as the Head of the Sword Academy of our era,
you name still remains in the heart of every commoner.
It is just that no one dares to bring it up again. [Wutong Fall]
We could only use that person in the place of these three words, "Liang Jingmeng."
Ten years ago, the entire Gongsun family was exterminated because it was being implicated by you.
I could only change my name to Zhangsun Qianxue, and hid in Fengming City.
But what could replace
the yearning and hatred I felt for you?
Zhangsun Qianxue, Keeper of the Wutong Fall Tavern,
the daughter of the original Marquis Gongsun Manor, and was taught the Nine-Refined Sword skills by Liang Jingmeng.
This must be the work of that fellow Ding Ning again.
Since the two of us have remained in Fengming City, we must be careful not to do anything to alert our enemy.
The Eleventh Marquis is our greatest stumbling block in our quest to kill the Emperor of Heng Kingdom.
Even though Marquis Dugu has the least cultivation, he is not someone I could defeat at this moment.
We definitely must not act hastily before I reached the Seventh Realm.
We have been waiting for ten whole years.
This old debt of Bashan can't be rushed.
Since you have already planned to take action, your plot must inflict real damage to those areas of vital importance.
Marquis Dugu is backed by two buildings.
If he should die, the temple and jianghu would surely follow suit and be shaken.
When that time comes, we could then reap the gains from this pandemonium.
Who were those people who rode past us just now?
They are the government officials of the Bureau of Astronomy. I heard that the Empress has summoned Bureau Chief Ye back today.
Fengming City has enjoyed peace and quiet for ten years. Marquis Dugu, Sixth Realm. The Eleventh Marquis of the Kingdom of Heng, has illustrious military achievements.
Or perhaps, a storm will rise soon.
The Emperor has announced a decree! Zhao Zhan, the great traitor of the Kingdom of Lie, has been sighted.
He has ordered Ye Celeng, Chief of the Bureau of Astronomy,
to quickly return to Fengming City to apprehend the criminal.
Ye Celeng, Seventh Realm. Chief of the Bureau of Astronomy.
She is in charge of the major case investigations in Fengming City, and has not been put in any important positions for years because of her status as a Bashan disciple.
The Bureau of Astronomy welcomes Chief Ye with respect.
The queen understands that Chief Ye has labored to travel this far
and specially sent us to welcome you here.
Zhao Zhan of Lie Nation's Jian Lu
The seventh disciple of Jian Lu, the top sword sect of the Former Lie nation. Hiding in Fengming City, planning vengeance for his fallen nation.
Ye Celeng greets the seventh master Zhao.
I dare not presume to be called master. Benevolent Master Zhao Renliang
I am just a floating leaf of a dead nation.
Please enter and have a seat.
No, thank you.
Then please wait for a moment.
I also lit one for your master.
Meeting Chief Ye today has cast a sudden light before my eyes.
It seems unsuited to Fengming City.
You dare!
Zhao Zhan, you remnant of the Lie Nation! Chief Ye is here in person.
Not only do you not give yourself up, but you dare to speak such words of provocation?
Jian Lu's seventh disciple Zhao Zhan Jian Lu Seventh Disciple Zhao Zhan
would like to experience Chief Ye's Autumn Water Sword Technique.
- What is it? - Someone is blocking the way, my lord
Kill with no mercy!
I apologize.
Have a good journey.
Bury him with honor.
Yes.
As the years pass, the martial arts world sees the addition of masters that achieve the seventh realm.
However, nobody has yet crossed the threshold into the eighth realm.
Not to mention the strongest realm, the ninth.
For this reason, the Heng King secluded himself in cultivation.
All affairs of state were handed to his queen Ye Zhen to handle in his stead.
Your majesty, Chief Ye was unexpectedly able to kill Zhao Zhan on her own.
This means she must have entered the middle level of the seventh realm at the least.
But I don't understand.
At this moment in Fengming City, aside from Chief Ye
there should be others who can handle Zhao Zhan alone. [Ye Zhen, queen of the Heng Nation Beloved of the King of Heng. In charge of affairs while he is in seclusion.]
Why have we summoned back Chief Ye who was cultivating far beyond the country? [Minister Li Responsible for assisting the queen while the Heng king is in seclusion.]
You should know.
This city is the only one that has no outer walls.
The reason why we have no outer walls
is because each sword in the hand of a Heng person is a wall.
Summoning Chief Ye back has two purposes.
The first: Chief Ye killing Zhao Zhan with her lone sword
is no doubt the loudest thunder strike in this season.
And Fengming City's invisible wall is made thicker by an inch.
The second: Chief Ye has cultivated for many years outside the country.
Many have thought of her as in exile. Chen Xuan, Chief of the Heng nation's Bureau of the Holy Capital Responsible for investigating court officials at all levels. Guardian of the Great Floating Water Prison
Her return and removal of evil elements
proves her relationship with His Majesty
is very close.
Such rumors will then be dispersed without effort.
You and Chief Ye have my king's trust.
So you should work together and wipe away all obstacles for Great Heng.
Your royal subject obeys.
So pretty.
Uncle, oil please.
Aunt!
Aunt? Aunt!
Can't you scrub the mud off your shoes outside? Do you have to scrape it on the threshold?
You're not planning on doing business properly anyway.
Even the many steps involved in the process of making wine
have had several casually tossed out by you.
So why do you care that there's some mud on the threshold?
If I'd known that opening a wine shop would invite so many idlers
I would never have listened to your idea.
Besides whether the door way has dirt on it
- Has to do with one's personal feelings and has nothing to do with doing business. - Mm.
If it has to do with personal feelings
I can apologize
But the wine shop's business being too good and having too many idlers
has nothing to do with me.
It's all because you're so pretty.
Besides, opening a wine shop is still better than your original plan
of putting yourself in some red light district to look for information.
Have you ever heard of any girl from a decent family
who would willingly put herself in a brothel?
Unless they were a loose woman or lewd girl.
But a loose woman or lewd girl who only sells entertainment but not their body
is too unusual.
You think the Chiefs of the Holy Capital and Astronomy are fools?
Zhao Zhan is dead. Ye Celeng killed him.
- She did it alone? - Yes.
But she's injured as well.
How do you know?
Even though I don't know how badly, I am sure she is injured.
Ye Celeng is from the Ba Shan Sword Academy.
She mainly cultivates the Li Shui Sacred Technique. (t/n: water related)
In stormy weather like this
she must have been much stronger than usual.
Even though she killed Zhao Zhan by herself
she was injured after all.
Therefore I suspect that her cultivation
should be quite close to Zhao Zhan's.
That would be the middle level of the seventh realm.
Go and take a bath, then wait for me in bed.
I will close the shop door.
Right now—?
Isn't it a little soon?
We don't have much time left.
We must use it for cultivation.
Why is her core chi so unstable?
The Lone Mountain Sword Trove of the legends should actually exist!
And in fact most of the clues
may be in the hands of Bai Shanshui of Cloud Water Palace.
What you mean to say is I only need to find Bai Shanshui
and I will be able to get the Lone Mountain Sword Trove.
The weather is arid is things are dry. Watch your fires and candles!
She must have fought with someone
for this chill to be penetrating her body.
