"Huo"
Do you want it or not?
Forget it!
Can you tell me your birth date?
How old are you? Where did you live previously?
My age,
my birthday,
and where I live...
is none of your business.
Forget it.
Stop!
Do you know who she is?
She is the Side Consort of King Zhen Nan!
What does that I have to do with me?
I know that you don't know me,
that's fine.
I'll explain it to you.
Let's find a quiet place...
and have a good talk.
Doctor Mo.
What is troubling you?
Lady Jing,
I'm studying this golden needle.
Tower Master retrieved this from Moon Sect.
The needle is thin as hair.
It is rare.
With a unique length as well.
I've read through many medical books,
but found nothing about it.
Perhaps when Lady Xue is here,
she might have a clue about it.
Doctor Mo,
why have the ladies...
in Blue Mountains Cave lost their minds?
Have you encountered such incident before?
Tower Master has been investigating this recently.
More than a decade ago,
there were people with similar symptoms.
Rumor has it, they were mind controlled.
This voodoo is capable of...
controlling human mind.
The mind-controlling incident...
had wreaked havoc back then.
Your master, Bai Di...
was caught up in the incident too.
He was severely injured while trying to stop...
those affected by Voodoo from killing the innocent.
Queen Consort was the one who saved his life.
-Master! -Master!
The Crown Prince has departed.
He will reach Luoyang soon.
It's normal for...
the Crown Prince to visit Luoyang.
But there are hidden dangers on this trip.
Master,
what does the Crown Prince...
have anything to do with Sand Valley?
I've traveled to Nanjiang when I was younger.
And I've received kindness from the Queen Consort.
According to the letter,
it seems there are disputes in King Zhen Nan's Manor.
If the Crown Prince is really coming,
he would be in grave danger.
Qing Yu,
you take the lead...
to protect the Crown Prince.
Yes, Master.
Qing Lan,
take my seal as proof...
and get in contact with the Crown Prince.
Yes.
Master.
There will be great risks for this trip.
It's not like the travels before.
Ming Er,
it'd be better if you stayed here.
I...
Those minds who have been controlled,
how did they end up?
There was no survivors.
Which is why...
your Master refused to talk about it.
It has dealt a great blow to the Huo family of Golden Swords.
After the incident,
the Huo family vanished from the pugilistic world.
Now,
if Tower Master hadn't found those ladies,
no one will ever know that...
Mind Control still exists to this day.
Don't be shy,
go on and eat.
Slowly now, no rush.
You have some too!
If there's anything else you'd like to eat,
just tell me.
Can you tell me when you were born now?
I think I'm 17 years old now.
But I'm not sure of my birthday.
According to my parents, they adopted me in December.
So, I must have been born in December.
She's so strange,
she keeps asking irrelevant questions.
Tower Master is resourceful indeed.
He managed to make people from King Zhen Nan's Manor
approach us with a mere jade pendant.
Since you've had the jade pendant since you were a kid,
it must have some special meaning.
Why did you trade it at the pawnshop?
I was chased by assassins,
and parted with my lover.
I tried every way to find her, but to no avail.
I spent all my money to find her.
I ran out of options, that's why I...
Forget it, you wouldn't understand.
I have an idea.
Why don't you come be my guard...
Why don't you come be my guard at King Zhen Nan's Manor?
I'll increase your pay.
Then, you won't have to pawn your jade pendant.
How's that?
No way.
How will I find my lover, if I'm there?
She's a lady.
She needs someone to protect her in danger.
I must find her.
I can send someone to look for her,
and inform you once we have news.
There's no need.
I've tracked down her whereabouts.
She was seen around Blue Mountains recently.
I'm going to meet her there.
But, I hear it's dangerous there.
Don't worry, I'll find a way and help you look for your friend.
I'm a nobody, why are you being nice to me?
And,
you seem to recognize my jade pendant.
I do recognize it.
You might be the child of a friend of mine.
Don't make to much of it. I just want to help you...
with what I can do for an old friend of mine.
Really? When can you find her for me?
Her name is Ye Feng Sha.
We must keep this to ourselves.
I used to wander alone with no one to depend on.
But Feng Sha is in trouble now. I can't just abandon her.
The other day, I ran into a strange looking resident of Blue Mountains.
He looked like the walking dead.
I tried to ask him...
I tried to ask him for the whereabouts of Feng Sha.
But he attacked me all of a sudden.
I couldn't kill him no matter how I tried.
I escaped afterward.
Until now, I have no idea if that man was human.
There are indeed farmers that fit your description around the Blue Mountains.
Their minds have been controlled.
I'm afraid they won't regain consciousness ever again.
When the Moon God Flower blooms,
the poison will be at its strongest.
The Moon God Flower is used to brainwash people.
The extract of the petal...
is deadly poisonous.
If the poison is injected to human blood stream,
their appearance...
will gradually turn blue,
and become skinny to the bone.
After a few days,
when the poison inches deeper,
their eyes will turn blue too.
And if their heart is not damaged,
they will never die,
and live on like a puppet.
So those who were poisoned by Moon God Flower...
can never be cured?
Tell me!
When poisoned by Moon God Flower,
the inner energy will grow rapidly.
Hence, even a powerful man won't stand a chance...
against those suicide soldiers.
In a normal fight,
attacks are mixed with defensive moves.
But the suicide soldiers aren't afraid of dying.
They'd even kill themselves if necessary.
If your friend is really on Blue Mountains,
She might be in grave danger.
Crown Prince has gone missing near Blue Mountains.
Have you tightened the search?
Mistress,
I've sent reinforcements for the search.
We haven't found the Crown Prince.
The only possibility now is that...
he's been poisoned and fell off the cliff.
Steward Chen is responsible for...
letting Xiao Yi Qing request for armed forces from King Zhen Nan.
Give him a warning,
if he makes another mistake,
the Moon Sect won't let him off.
We must heighten the level of defense.
Don't worry, Mistress.
I've increased the number of patrolling personnel.
Xiao Yi Qing has discovered the route to Blue Mountains.
We must get ready...
to transfer the suicide soldiers elsewhere.
So when Snow Tower attacks,
we can fight them off like flies.
They are our best weapon.
Ever since Xiao Yi Qing intruded Blue Mountains,
I've sent reinforcement there.
We haven't found anything uncommon.
Meanwhile, I'll transfer the suicide soldiers quickly.
Reporting to Mistress,
High Priest retrieved this from the Moon God Flower in Holy Lake.
He told me not to delay any further,
and send this directly here.
Right Guardian,
take the petals...
and extract the essence.
Yes!
Where is the High Priest now?
Mistress,
High Priest left the Moon Palace...
after passing me this.
He seems to be heading to the River of Remembrance.
Why aren't you moving?
Xiao Tai.
Get up, get up!
Yi Qing wants us to arrive sooner.
The battle is about to begin.
But we haven't even reached the border of Nanjiang!
Xiao Tai, calm down.
Ride my horse and go.
I'll catch up after I get our men sorted.
I don't know why,
but this image seems familiar lately.
The glow of the fireflies.
Could this somehow be related to my past?
You're so unfair!
Ever since that girl came here,
you've been directing all these fireflies here.
You even refused to get me some during my birthday.
I finally see your true colors now.
Jia Ruo.
Would you also...
let the fireflies accompany me?
The faint glow...
is enough to warm the night.
You saved my life.
I've made you a promise...
to be by your side.
Protecting you,
and protecting the Moon Palace.
Don't worry,
I won't break my promise.
Don't we have...
other feelings between us...
besides gratitude?
Jia Ruo,
will your heart...
be as unmovable as before?
It's late,
let's go back.
Steward Chen...
has sent a message.
Xiao Yi Qing might attack from Blue Mountains tomorrow,
and try to take over Moon Sect.
Xiao Yi Qing is an interesting opponent.
I thought I'd have to wait for a while before facing him again.
Since he is here,
we shall fight him.
So rare to have such a quiet night.
It seems that...
you are ready for this.
It'll be a fight of life and death tomorrow.
The Snow Tower troops will arrive tomorrow.
I'll head to the cave first,
while you lead the army of King Zhen Nan,
and strike directly from Blue Mountains.
When our men arrive,
they will support you right away.
Are you confident...
in attacking the cave?
Those people have lost their minds.
cuts and wounds will mean nothing to them.
The Mind Control will bring chaos to the world.
We must suppress the evil doings of Moon Sect.
The reason for you to attack Blue Mountains directly...
is to cover for my operation.
By the way,
Ren Fei Yang has found out...
the story behind Consort Li.
She's the daughter of Huo family.
Yes.
Ren Fei Yang's duty was to make sure of this.
So that King Zhen Nan can be cautious.
Back then, King Zhen Nan was good with the Huo family.
But the daughter of Huo family...
fell in love with his good friend.
They were disapproved by Elder Huo.
Hence, they ran away...
to a mountain village.
Elder Huo couldn't do anything.
So he joined forces with King Zhen Nan.
Claiming that the Lady Huo had been abducted by bandits.
In the name of killing bandits,
he killed her lover.
According to Lan Xue Hall,
Consort Li had a child.
But she hadn't spend a single day with him.
She probably married King Zhen Nan for revenge.
Moreover,
there were people in the mountain...
that had been under Mind Control.
She must have known something,
which is why she cooperated with Moon Sect to harm the King's family.
So,
there's a conspiracy behind Consort Li.
I have a request.
If the operation succeeds,
please let my Elder Brother off.
I...
I want to bring him back to Sand Valley.
All those years ago,
if it wasn't for him,
I would have already died back then.
Ming Er!
Elder Brother.
Elder Brother!
Go!
-Elder Brother! -Go!
Elder Brother!
Go now!
-Go! -Let me off!
Go!
-Elder Brother! -Go now!
Elder Brother!
-Elder Brother, Elder Brother! -Go!
My life was saved by Master and Elder Brother.
So,
if I get to see him again...
It doesn't matter if he remembers the past,
I only wish he can stay away from the slaughters.
And live a peaceful life.
Please accept my request.
Alright.
I express my gratitude...
on behalf of my Elder Brother.
Jing,
I thought you were back because of me.
However,
he's still the one you're worried about.
I'm sorry.
I do want to explore the world with you too.
But back then,
if Elder Brother hadn't sacrificed himself,
I would've already lost my life.
For my life now,
ever since I met Elder Brother again,
it leaves me with no choice.
Perhaps,
Sand Valley...
is the only place for me to be.
The Crown Prince was lost near Blue Mountains.
We must search the mountains inside out...
to find the Crown Prince.
Yes!
The current status of Crown Prince is unknown.
And no one knows of his whereabouts.
Yet you use that as an excuse to challenge us.
What is your ulterior motive?
This is a sacred place of Moon Sect.
You can't come and go as you wish.
Crown Prince is missing.
King Zhen Nan is worried.
If you have nothing to hide,
let the King's army have a search.
Or perhaps, Moon Sect has an untold secret?
Shu Jing Rong,
don't try to incite dispute between Moon Sect and King Zhen Nan.
You don't have the right...
to interfere with the matters of Moon Sect.
You cannot enter!
If Moon Sect tries to stop us,
we'll have to enter with force and search it ourselves.
Stop them,
and spare no one!
Yes!
Leave, if you want to live!
I'm the Right Guardian of Moon Sect.
Protecting the sect is my duty!
Lady Jing,
we're here on Tower Master's order.
Even if Tower Master Xiao is here,
it will make no difference.
As a matter of fact,
I've planted the Blood Venom in Lady Jing.
Soon,
your Blood Rose Sword...
will kill on my command.
They say Tower Master Xiao and Shu Jing Rong...
are exceptional heroes.
I shall see...
how Xiao Yi Qing will kill you,
after you've been mind controlled.
Lady Jing.
Protect Ming Yan and retreat now.
Safety comes first.
Yi Qing!
Let's go.
Alright.
-Go, go! -No!
It seems that the Mind Control...
comes with a price.
You're injured because of that.
Is it worthy?
I was careless,
to let the venom damage my body.
But if you are planning...
on attacking Moon Sect now.
I won't let you do it...
even if I'm injured.
The Moon Sect conducted countless of evil doings.
Are you really going to sacrifice yourself for that?
Mistress has saved my life.
Protecting her and Moon Sect...
is what I intend to do.
What are you doing?
If you want to attack Moon Sect now,
killing me now...
would be the perfect opportunity.
I have a request.
If this operation succeeds,
please let my Elder Brother go.
All I want is a fair fight.
If you...
let me go now,
don't regret it...
when we meet again in the future.
Don't worry,
when I attack Moon Palace,
we shall see about that.
Tower Master Xiao,
why do you want to destroy Moon Sect with all your might?
You should know that...
the cost of this act...
is immeasurable even for you and I.
How many have been harmed by the voodoo of Moon Sect,
I believe you know that better than I do.
The women of Blue Mountains are innocent.
Their lives shouldn't be ended this way.
Everything happens for a reason.
All that Moon Sect has done...
is to protect the Moon Palace.
By killing people?
No matter how many sacrifice,
or if this ends in a bloodbath,
nothing will change my mind.
I will not stop...
before Moon Palace collapses, and the Holy Lake dries,
until the Moon Sect is destroyed.
Alright.
We shall let the heavens decide.
The next time we meet in Moon Palace,
will be the time we fight to our death.
If I do capture you then,
I won't let you go easily...
as you have done today.
Wait a moment, High Priest.
This golden needle belong to Ming He,
do you recognise it?
It's just an ordinary needle,
what about it?
If one day, you find your life...
more tragical than those...
being mind controlled,
maybe then...
you will agree with me.
I've send someone to guard Blue Mountains.
Within Blue Mountains,
Moon Sect won't do anything reckless.
Luckily, the attack...
Luckily, the attack was beneficial this time.
The battle of Blue Mountains...
has ended for now.
However,
we have borrowed army from King Zhen Nan.
The Tower Master want us to give King Zhen Nan an answer.
So, you have to escort Crown Prince back.
Tower Master and Crown Prince have a mutual agreement.
Just say that the Crown Prince was found on Blue Mountains.
Alright.
Leave it to me.
By the way, where is Tower Master?
I haven't seen him since Blue Mountains.
He is waiting in Lady Jing's room.
Lady Jing...
might not survive this time.
It was my fault that I was too late.
If not,
Ming He wouldn't have had the chance.
What's done is done.
At least, Lady Xue is already here.
If she works together with Doctor Mo,
there might still be a chance.
How's her condition?
Lady Jing is poisoned by the Moon God Flower of Moon Sect.
The Mind Control is done by...
the poison of Moon God Flower.
It gradually takes over a person's consciousness,
and changes his or her appearance and behavior.
The outsiders know not of this.
So to them, it's like voodoo.
Don't you have antidote for this poison?
All things live and act against each other.
If there's a poison, there must be a cure.
The poison isn't deeply rooted in her body.
I hope she can hold on longer.
She's right.
None of us have seen Moon God Flower.
If we want to find an antidote,
the chances are slim.
We have to try each and every method.
Thank you.
Lady Xue, you have a knack for bizarre symptoms.
While Doctor Mo is an expert in medicine.
No matter what,
please think of something.
Ren Fei Yang can try to gain more information from Consort Li.
This has to be handled with urgency.
Understood.
Tower Master,
you must be careful.
Even if the poison is not deeply rooted in Lady Jing,
we still don't know how much longer she can fight it.
We should increase the number of people...
to guard her around the clock.
So that if Lady Jing is controlled...
It's alright.
It'll be fine with me here.
No matter what she becomes,
I'll be by her side.
Tower Master!
Jing,
this was my fault.
I shouldn't have sent you to intercept Ming He,
and put you at risk.
It's not your fault.
I was careless.
Don't blame yourself.
One day,
if I really do become...
a cold blooded killer puppet.
Will you kill me yourself?
I told you before,
that I won't seek death before survival.
We've been through life and death.
We have lost too much.
Which is why we...
protect everything we cherish...
with our life.
If there's even a sliver of hope,
I won't allow you to do anything stupid.
