Once upon a Time in LingJian Mountain
Episode 33
A year later.
The Five Sects Championships will begin.
I’ve reviewed your design of the competition.
It’s too unfriendly to Shengjing Sect,
isn’t it?
Thanks.
I can make it worse
if you want me to.
Wang Wu,
you’re the acting leader.
I have to remind you
that everything you say and do
represents our sect.
Personal hatred should be set aside.
As the host of the competition,
you must be fair and impartial.
Revealing the true color of the evil
is to be fair.
Fine.
You’re always right.
I’m done talking to you.
Liu Xian,
I have the Golden Seal.
Be a lamb.
Yes, Leader.
But I suggest
you discipline that wild disciple of yours,
Wang Lu.
The competition is about to open.
I don’t want him to cause any trouble.
Leader is practicing in isolation.
Even if we can’t help him too much,
we can’t be a hindrance.
Liu Xian,
clearly, you’re biased
against us.
They’ve arrived.
See you in Cloud Hall.
How rude!
We’re honored
to have you here.
Sorry for not greeting you earlier.
Isn’t this Baby He?
You’re a big boy now.
You’re in great shape, too.
Look at you.
You’re strong.
Your sect must be treating you well.
Nice meeting you.
Have a seat.
Please.
Goodness!
They're all watching us.
You’re bold.
Please.
Have a seat.
She and you...
You lucky dog!
General Hai.
Greetings, Masters.
If my memory serves me right,
you always take the back door.
How come you enter through the front today?
You have a good sense of humor.
Wang Wu and I are close.
Truth be told,
I know everything about your sect.
Other than the doors,
I even know
where your Treasure Hall is.
You said it yourself
we’re close.
Don’t forget about our deal.
You have my word.
I’ll be staying here for a while
because of the competition.
We can discuss it thoroughly.
Looking forward to it.
Lord Dilun,
pleasure to meet you.
Our sects are like families.
The pleasure is all mine.
How’s Leader Feng?
He’s resting in seclusion.
Once he’s out,
I’ll convey your regards to him.
Thanks to Leader Feng,
our sect survived in the crisis.
Hearing that he’s unwell,
I brought him a gift.
As you said,
our sects are like families.
There’s...
This...
Isn’t this the priceless Jade Pill?
Thank you, Lord Dilun.
It can be found anywhere.
Nothing special at all.
What’s that supposed to mean?
Are you despising Almighty Sect?
I dare not.
Your sect stunned the world earlier.
Nobody dares to despise you.
Hey,
don’t forget to repair your ship regularly.
Or it might crash and kill all of you.
You...
Master Shuiyue loves joking around, right?
Of course I was joking.
Don’t be mad, Lord Dilun.
Your whole sect relies on you.
Shengjing Sect is flamboyant.
You moved your entire sect here
for this competition
to show off your wealth.
This event is of great significance.
I want to be fully prepared.
Besides,
we have too many members.
One ship isn’t enough,
so we moved our sect here
so that everyone can witness this event.
I heard the Four Devarajas
aren’t humans
but they're in the Stage of Disassembling.
They need to be charged with Magic Stones.
Every charge is costly.
This trip
must’ve cost you
tons of Magic Stones.
50,000?
5 million, young lady.
Gosh, that’s a bundle!
If you’re so rich,
why don’t you buy out Immortals Union?
Then the competition
can be held at your place
and you can stop moving like animals.
That’s tiring.
You...
Please.
Did I speak out every word in my mind?
All of it.
Every single word.
Good.
Wen Bao, remember,
after the opening ceremony of the competition,
the security in Shengjing
will be the lowest.
You need to get in and find Hai.
If you can’t find him
but encounter the Four Devarajas,
remember what I taught you.
Run.
Go to Cloud Hall.
Masters are all there.
They’ll protect you.
The Four Devarajas!
Crap, crap, crap!
I’m dead.
No, no!
I don’t want to die.
I haven’t got married.
You look well, Master Wang.
Of course.
Thanks to you,
my Wuxiang Kungfu advanced quickly.
You’re Ouyang’s friend,
so you're also my friend.
I did what I should.
What you should do the most
is to tell me Ouyang Shang's whereabouts.
Be patient.
I’ll keep my promise.
Trust me.
You’ll soon reunite with him.
Hope you're a man of your word,
otherwise,
there will be a third bloodbath in Junhuang.
Help!
Anyone!
Wen Bao!
Who are you?
How dare you hurt our man?
Array.
Stop.
They're the Four Devarajas!
You...
Master Shuiyue,
it’s not our fault.
That was dangerous.
The Four Devarajas were gigantic
during the opening ceremony.
Who knows they’d be so little!
How will you go back?
Nonsense!
The Four Devarajas can be in any shape and size.
Don’t you know that?
Please forgive
my ignorance.
I never saw them before.
I didn’t know
they could transform themselves.
Destroying the Four Devarajas
could be an accident,
but your member broke into our sect.
How do you explain that?
Wen Bao.
I...
You what?
Speak!
Why did you
sneak into our sect?
I...
I forced him to go there.
Wang Lu,
be careful with your words.
This is no small matter.
Don’t cover for others
if you didn’t do it.
Wen Bao refused to go there
but I forced him to.
Enough with the chit chat.
Answer me!
Why were you there?
Master,
you know better than others
what you did.
Do I have to speak it out loud?
What do you mean?
Make it clear.
Fine.
Since you have no sense of shame,
I don’t need to hide it for you.
Master,
someone in Shengjing
stole your favorite garment.
That pink one?
Bastard!
Tell me the details.
This morning,
while I was taking a herbal bath,
I saw that someone sneaked into your room
and stole your clothes.
I followed him
all the way to Shengjing Sect.
I knew I shouldn’t break in
but my master’s reputation was on the line.
After serious consideration,
I could only ask Wen Bao to go in to catch him.
Then he got caught the Four Devarajas.
Is that true?
Yes, absolutely.
Shut up.
Stop lying.
Wang Lu,
no evidence,
no conviction.
How do you explain that, Shuiyue?
Are you
colluding with each other to set me up?
Master Shuiyue,
no one accused you of stealing.
Don’t be mad.
Besides, that he went to your sect
doesn’t mean he’s your member.
Lord Dilun is right.
I was too reckless.
Although Shengjing sect is the prime suspect,
other sects also
could’ve done it.
After all, my master is gorgeous.
She has tons of admirers,
including General Hai.
Stop!
Wang Lu,
don’t say that in public.
I’m blushing.
I have an idea to catch the real thief.
What is it?
Since the thief
is among the people coming for the competition,
why don’t we test them
with the Heart Sword?
The competition starts tomorrow.
Why summon us to the Could Hall now?
You didn’t know?
Master Wang lost something.
They’re going to test us with the Heart Sword
to catch the thief.
Something is missing?
Is it valuable?
Her garment is missing.
Why would anyone steal that?
It’s worthless.
No, it’s...
Yeah, you're right.
You’re too young to know it.
I’m wondering
who was so bold
that he stole from Master Wang.
What’s to look?
Indeed.
I’ll go first.
General Hai,
if you’re the thief,
you’ll have to take the responsibility.
General Hai,
did you steal Master Wang’s...
Master Fang He is having a sore throat
because of the cold.
I’ll ask the question for him.
Did you steal my master’s garment?
I didn’t.
Pass.
I kinda hoped for a different answer.
Next.
Zefang.
Did you steal my master’s garment?
No.
Wang Wu,
you’ve overestimated yourself.
We’ve tested all leaders and disciples.
Yes.
We still haven’t found
the real thief.
Next.
Listen,
I have to remind you,
all Shengjing members
have been tested
except for him.
If he isn’t the thief,
Wang Lu,
you’ll be held accountable for slander.
I’ll hand you to Immortals Union
for justice.
Ask the question.
Immortals Union is waiting for you.
Did you abduct Hai Yunfan?
Par...pardon?
Isn’t this about the missing garment?
I’m asking you
if your sect
kidnapped my friend, Hai Yunfan!
Nonsense!
Our sect
didn’t do anything to him.
Pass.
Impossible!
You took him away.
Lihua told me that.
Hai Yunfan,
choose wisely.
Why not join us
to build a better world?
No way!
Enough.
We're here for the competition
Stop your monkey business, Wang Lu.
All leaders and disciples have passed the test.
The thief isn’t here.
Is it possible that someone
break into your sect using a fake identity?
Impossible.
This place is protected by the Matrix.
Outsiders can’t enter.
Wait.
You've all forgotten one thing.
There’s one person who hasn’t taken the test.
Who is it?
It’s him.
To be fair,
you need to be tested, too.
If you have nothing to hide,
then there’s nothing to be afraid of.
Wang Lu,
did you steal your master’s garment?
Yes.
Wang Lu stole it?
How could it be him?
He did that?
You pest!
You plotted the whole thing.
Master Wang, what else do you have to say?
What are you doing, Wang Lu?
I can’t believe he did it.
Who’s the one wearing a mask?
Who are you?
Hai Yunfan!
Hai!
Hai Yunfan!
It’s him?
How could it be him?
H...Hai.
What happened?
How...
How could it be possible?
Why are you here?
What happened?
Leaders,
everyone,
allow me to introduce
the new disciple of Shengjing,
Hai Yunfan.
What?
Isn’t he a Lingjian member?
Hai, he’s lying, isn’t he?
You heard it.
No need to ask.
He’s made it clear.
Impossible!
They threatened you, didn’t they?
Wrong.
I joined them voluntarily.
You can’t get
anything from me.
I'm only a Lingjian member.
Are you targeting our sect?
You...
Hai Yunfan,
choose wisely.
Why not join us
to build a better world?
No way!
Are you feeling it?
Restriction in my body is loosened.
Correct.
Shengjing Sect is the best in the world.
We're more capable than Lingjian.
As long as you take our side,
we can help you
get rid of the Restriction.
What are you waiting for, Hai Yunfan?
One is a sect shielding demons;
the other and you have the same enemy.
You should know how to choose.
I’m willing to join you.
Good.
I knew you’d make the right choice.
That’s why
you betrayed Lingjian Sect,
betrayed me?
We have different goals.
We went through thick and thin together.
Now, you’re telling me that?
Wang Lu, you know why
I stuck around for so long?
I only joined Lingjian sect to practice
so that I could get my revenge.
Yet nobody in this sect
could be trusted,
especially you and your master.
They tolerated all your misconduct.
Staying in this sect
is a waste of time.
But Shengjing Sect is different.
There I can gain power.
I can see hope.
You abandoned
our friendship for revenge?
What’s the use of friendship?
Can that give me power?
Can that help me get revenge?
Can that tear all demons
into shreds?
Wang Lu,
those things you said
mean nothing to me.
You...
Heart Devouring Strike.
Wang Lu,
now you know why I left.
I don’t need friends.
I want nothing but power.
Hai Yunfan,
you betrayed Lingjian Sect,
and joined Shengjing Sect without approval.
You’re expelled
because of your unfaithfulness.
Once the competition is over,
do not set foot in Lingjian Sect ever again.
Fine fowls perch on fine trees.
As leaders,
we should let young people make their own choices.
They can stay or leave.
Don’t practice emotional blackmail on them.
Now that Hai Yunfan is expelled,
from now on,
he’s my disciple.
My respect to you, Leader.
Master Wang,
your disciple made a huge scene
and delayed the competition.
You won’t let this slide, right?
Wang Lu did that for his former friend.
It’s understandable
but not forgivable.
I’ll beat him 100 times
in front of you.
What do you think, Master Shuiyue?
That's fair.
I have no objections.
What a surprise!
Wang Lu stole his master’s garment.
- So shameless! - Yes!
A thief crying “Stop! Thief!”.
Exactly.
He brought shame on all of us.
He went to great lengths
to find Hai Yunfan.
Yet there he was
abandoning their friendship.
He’d rather be a dog in Shengjing
than take him as a friend.
Wang Lu,
I pity you.
He deserves it.
He made the wrong choice
and trusted Hai Yunfan.
You still haven’t changed, have you?
Why are you so concerned about him?
What are you saying?
I cut ties with him a long time ago.
No need to explain. I’m not jealous.
I’m not.
Master Wang Wu and Master Shuiyue
were at each other’s throat.
Wang Lu and Hai Yunfan broke up.
I’m looking forward to
what’s going to happen next.
There I can gain power.
I can see hope.
You abandoned
our friendship for revenge?
What’s the use of friendship?
Can that give me power?
Can that help me get revenge?
Can that tear all demons
into shreds?
Wang Lu,
those things you said
mean nothing to me.
You...
Are you OK?
Does it hurt?
Enough.
Drop your act.
You said Heart Sword
would force Master Shuiyue
and his disciples to tell us the truth.
But we got nothing.
Do you have anything to say?
You’re right.
Shuiyue is
a sneaky fox.
He must’ve used Heart Locking Charm
so the sword couldn’t detect his secrets.
Besides,
none of his disciples
knows about his scheme.
What?
I followed your lead,
broke into Shengjing, and made a huge scene.
Others all think of me as an idiot.
Now, you tell me you can’t find anything.
You played me.
It seems that way
but well begun is half done.
we destroyed the Four Devarajas,
didn’t we?
Shuiyue lost his biggest help.
He dares not to stir up trouble again.
True.
Yeah.
You beat me 100 times.
I need compensation.
I’m injured.
You've mastered Wuxiang Kungfu.
Beating you 100 times
is like giving you a massage.
So stingy!
I’m surprised
you and Hai end up like this.
Women are fickle.
Let him be.
Greetings, Master.
Master.
Hai Yunfan,
thanks to you,
we didn’t fall into
Wang Lu’s trap
and we humiliated Lingjian Sect.
I’m glad we could get back at them.
Lingjian Sect abused their power
and destroyed
the Four Devarajas.
That was unacceptable.
If all our disciples
were half as good as you,
Shengjing would dominate the Union long ago.
You’re flattering me.
I joined Shengjing Sect
for one goal.
That is to be powerful enough
to get revenge.
I have high hopes for you.
You're the only one
who can master
Heart Devouring Strike during one month.
Given your intelligence and perseverance,
within a few years,
you can take revenge
on Hai Tiankuo.
Thank you, Master.
Alright.
Go back and have some rest.
The competition is tomorrow.
Good day, Master.
Anything else, Master?
Who’s the biggest threat
to our sect in the competition?
Lingjian Sect,
Wang Wu and Wang Lu.
Why?
Wang Lu is meticulous
and don’t play by the book.
I’m sure
he’s our biggest threat.
The designer of this competition
is his master Wang Wu.
She could've helped him
under the table.
If that’s the case,
you know what to do.
You mean...
I see. I’m on it.
Under this circumstance,
you should fight for money.
Once you win the first place,
you can have as much money as you want.
Then even I’ll give you a chance to woo me,
not to mention Hai.
Master,
how can you be sure that I’ll win?
I know you will.
Thanks for having faith in me.
I won’t let you down.
Don’t be so full of yourself.
I have faith in myself.
What?
Think about it.
The designer of this competition
is me, the fairest woman in the world.
With my help,
it’s impossible to lose.
I’ve done my homework.
Among all participants, only Zhou Mumu, Zhan Ziye,
Xu Zefang aren’t too weak,
but they're still not your match.
Your only threats are
Du Songzi of Shengjing Sect
and that heartbreaker Hai Yunfan.
I’ve set traps
at every round,
targeting Shengjing’s weaknesses.
Master,
that's called cheating.
But I love it.
Get back what you lost.
Bring back the trophy.
You bet.
Wang Wu,
come to Cloud Hall immediately.
Did Leader pass away?
Finally!
I’ll be a master.
