Look!
Slowly.
You hit me!
Ha, missed!
Slow down.
Careful!
Maybe it's not hard to return to old times.
The Untamed - Special Edition
Episode 09 PHOENIX MOUNTAIN
To the Gods,
today, we three swear to
protect Immortal Sects; help the common people.
Heaven, witness.
If we're disloyal, Heaven and the people will condemn us.
( Venerated Triad - Lan Xichen, Nie Mingjue, Jin Guangyao/Mengyao )
[ Flaming Sun Palace ]
Leader Jin.
You won merit so young.
After Sunshot, you're Sect Leader. Worth festivity.
When will the ceremony be?
Thank you, but I'm in mourning. It's inappropriate.
That's right.
Fengmian and I were close.
After parting at Gusu, I didn't expect...
he'd depart from life.
Lord Zewu and Light Bearer have arrived.
Leader Jiang, congratulations.
Under your leadership, Lotus Pier will prosper,
protecting Yunmeng.
You flatter me. I'll need your advice.
Red Blade Lord arrived.
Leader Jin.
Leader Nie, why come late?
Red Blade Lord.
Please be seated.
A-Yao, you forgot?
Since we've sworn it, call him Big Bro.
Yes. Thanks, Second Bro, for the tip.
Big Brother.
Please.
Leader Jin, what's this mean?
Leader Nie, sit so we may begin.
Leader Jin, everyone.
We're feasting at Nevernight
yet I'll never take that seat.
Leader Nie, no wonder you're well respected.
I was thoughtless. Swap seats.
Leader Nie, please sit.
Please.
Childe Wei.
Childe Wei, you wanted to speak to me?
Me?
Yes.
On greeting me, you seemed to want to speak to me.
He has social tact and is very observant.
It's nothing. Just, on Sunshot day,
you killed Wen Ruohan
with a soft sword weapon.
Today you don't carry that sword.
Childe Wei, pardon.
It was a random blade I found.
As it was ill-omened, I threw it away.
So that's it.
- Please. - Please.
I'll toast you in thanks to Jiang Sect for saving me.
Please.
Lan Zhan, it's you.
Well? Want to play 'Cleansing'?
I am learning a new score.
You haven't given up?
You truly are
stubborn.
- Bravo. - Righteous.
Righteous!
Wen Sect's purging by allied sects
is a blessed event this century.
Its destruction relied on Qinghe Nie Sect, Gusu Lan Sect,
Yunmeng Jiang Sect— 3 Great Sects.
Today I drink to show respect.
Leader Jin, you're too kind.
Too kind.
Everyone, please sit.
Everyone, something is troubling me.
Everyone knows
Jiang Fengmian and I were like family.
Madam Yu and my wife were like sisters.
My son, Zixuan, and Lady Jiang were betrothed young.
Yet a misunderstanding broke it. Such a pity.
With old friends gone, my wife and I wish
our son and Lady Jiang to enter a blessed union—
First, to console lost friends.
Second, to take care of old friends' daughter.
It would fulfil my wish.
Leader Jiang.
What do you think?
Leader Jiang, it's good. Agree!
Right.
- It's good. - Agree, Leader Jiang.
Sister still seems attached to that peacock.
But their troth was broken.
Agreeing today looks like Jiang Sect seeks connections.
Leader Jin, we appreciate your good intentions.
Leader Jin, marriage is life-long.
I suggest you ask Sister,
not Jiang Cheng.
Am I right, Jiang Cheng?
Wei Wuxian.
Uncle spoke to Leader Jiang. [ Jin Yixuan ]
Who are you to say?
Fine.
Ask Jiang Cheng.
Leader Jin.
This isn't between two clans.
When Dad was alive, he thought that.
It's just my sister's decision.
Others
shouldn't intervene.
That's right.
About this, we need Lady Jiang's opinion.
Senior Sister.
Many thanks, Leader Jin, for kind intentions.
Jiang Sect just had a calamity.
As a Jiang daughter, I must look ahead
and return to Yunmeng to rebuild Lotus Pier.
This is...
This is no time to marry.
Leader Jin.
Please excuse me.
This...
Father.
Everyone.
Such a Jiang Clan daughter comforts the departed.
Not just Jiang Sect—
All sects suffered losses.
This is a crucial time to rally together.
Sounds sensible.
- I agree. - He's right. - He makes sense.
Father pondered on this.
A lucky event came to mind.
I'll be bold.
On Father's behalf, I invite everyone this autumn to Golden Koi Tower.
Jin Sect will host
Mt. Phoenix Crowd Hunt.
Mt. Phoenix Crowd Hunt?
Few can afford one.
Jin Sect is aiding sects.
- So benevolent! - Right, right.
That's right.
So, everyone, please participate.
Thanks, Leader Jin.
Leader Jin is kind.
- To Leader Jin! - Okay. - Cheers.
- To Leader Jin! - Right.
Come.
Please.
Brother.
According to disciples,
on return, you took many music scores from the Library
to study all day.
So I came to see.
Brother, I want to enter Forbidden Room.
What for?
To study music scores.
Lord Zewu. Light Bearer.
Teacher needs you.
Let's go.
[ Elegant Room ]
Cleanse resentment?
Correct.
I wasn't at the Qishan attack
but I understand the horrors of that battle.
I also heard about Wei Ying.
When a group falls, its people suffer.
Corpses lie everywhere.
It will easily beget evil.
Wen Sect Cultivation was evil.
If not cleansed early,
it'll cause harm.
You're right.
Uncle.
Wangji.
This time, don't go with Xichen.
I have a task for you.
When Xichen fled with books,
some got lost or damaged in his haste.
Mending books and amending rules
has priority.
There's no order without rules.
Rules are Lan Sect foundation.
I hope you keep it in mind.
Uncle.
I want to enter Forbidden Room.
You read all books?
Uncle.
I want to enter Forbidden Room.
Since not, no need to enter.
[ Lotus Pier, Yunmeng ]
[ Yunmeng Jiang Sect ]
I, Jiang Cheng,
Jiang Fengmian and Yu Ziyuan's son,
from today
am Jiang Sect Leader.
Jiang Sect motto is "attempt the impossible".
While I breathe, this motto stands.
I won't let Jiang Sect suffer again.
Sect Leader Jiang.

[ Chapter of Conduct ]
( Vanquish evil, establish rules, set a righteous path )
One!
Higher.
Two!
Three!
Use wrist not arm strength.
Four!
This weak? How can you sword-train?
Sect Leader.
Leader, Ezhou Sect people brought an invite.
Two!
Three!
Four!
I'm busy. Get Wei Wuxian.
S-Senior Bro isn't in Lotus Pier.
Again?
He's in town again?
Four!
A-Cheng.
Sister.
One!
I'll come. Serve tea to guests.
Aye.
Three!
Lotus Pier is restored.
Things changed.
He probably
is unused to it.
Not used to it? Am I?
He's too unruly at home.
He said he'd assist me. I can't see his efforts.
A-Cheng.
Four!
- One! - Use your wrist!
Hand up!
Two!
Three!
Jiang Cheng, still awake?
- Good. I've liquor— - Scram.
Why do that all day?
How often must you clean your sword?
Where's yours? How long's it been?
It's in my room.
A monthly clean will do.
You carry no sword and frequent inns.
People may think
Lotus Pier is your drunken rest stop.
Jiang Cheng, don't be mad—
Get away!
What's wrong?
So drunk, you lost power? Look at you.
You said you'd assist me. Here...
Stay away.
What's this mean?
Want a fight?
I'm tired.
Fight tomorrow.
I'll sleep.
Senior Sister.
A-Xian, come here.
You and A-Cheng quarreled again?
It's our habit.
We'll be fine soon. Don't fret.
A-Xian.
Do you...
Do you not want to be in Lotus Pier?
Sister, what are you saying?
It's my home. Where else would I go?
I didn't mean that. I fear...
Senior Sis.
If Uncle Jiang hadn't taken me in,
I'd be on the street.
No matter what, I won't leave Lotus Pier
or you and Jiang Cheng.
Senior Sis.
I know I'm unrestrained lately.
I won't do it again.
Don't be mad at me.
Silly!
How'd I be mad at you?
Do you
remember early childhood events?
I don't, but I recall what you told me.
Go away. Away, away.
Leave.
Little beggar.
Floral umbrellas.
Wei Ying?
Wei Ying.
Come home with Uncle, okay?
Mm.
You were born with a smile on your face.
You never held sadness in your heart.
In all circumstances, you stay optimistic.
Only that temperament
lets you stand A-Cheng's temper.
Senior Sis.
My temper isn't good.
It's due to you.
If not for you,
I'd be beaten to death by Jiang Cheng.
You...
Don't be fooled by his demeanour.
In fact,
he cares for and worries about you.
Now, our parents are gone.
In this world, we three are closest.
- Senior Sister. - Hm?
I'm hungry.
Why act like a kid?
Xian Xian is age three.
- Oh right, Senior Sis. - Mm?
I've a question for you.
Ask.
Why's one person like another person?
I mean that kind of like.
Why ask this?
You like someone—
No, no, Senior Sister.
I have no-one I like.
At least, not that much.
Isn't that like chaining
your own neck?
Three years is a bit old.
You're one year old.
No, 3 years is 3 years.
3-year-old Xian Xian is hungry.
Go eat the soup in the kitchen.
Can 1-year-old Xian Xian
reach the stove.
If I can't, lift me up.
Being frivolous again.
Hey!
How old are you to eavesdrop? Not ashamed?
I didn't eavesdrop. I own Lotus Pier.
I go where I want. You can't stop me.
Senior Sister just said
she made Lotus Pork Soup.
- Where is it? - All eaten.
Only lotus left. Go eat it.
Spit it up!
Spit up? Fine, but you eat it.
- Fine, spit! - Spitting...
Alright, you two.
How old are you to bicker over pork.
I'll make more.
A-Cheng.
Is this a Leader's air?
Right, recall saying, when I'm Leader,
you'd assist me the way your dad assisted my dad.
Sure I do.
Gusu has 2 Jades. Yunmeng has 2 Prides.
Don't drag me down.
When did I?
Okay, I'll make soup.
[ Cloud Recesses ]
[ Library Pavilion ]
Strange.
I locked it this morning.
No-one.
Didn't I lock it properly?
Sizheng.
Don't tell Light Bearer.
( Forbidden Room )
( Mt. Phoenix, Lanling - Jin Sect )
You all know the rules.
I emphasise this.
The row of targets
is the barrier to enter the mountain.
To enter the arena,
you must hit an archery target from a set distance.
The seven circles represent seven entry paths.
The closer to the bullseye,
the easier your path.
But we have a special event
to entertain you.
Move!
Hurry!
Move!
People in front make the target harder to hit
to test your skills.
How hard is it?
Who will challenge? Please step out.
I'll see
who can best my cousin's shot.
Anyone?
Lan Zhan, a favour.
How?
Lend me your headband?
Great!
Incredible!
Great!
Childe Wei, bravo!
This Opening Arrow was to liven up things.
Of course, everyone qualifies for entry.
Well, let's cancel this ritual.
Please all enter the arena.
Just now your opening arrow was flashy tricks.
You covered your eyes.
If you're capable, wear a blindfold on the Hunt.
See who's talented and wins on Mt. Phoenix.
Okay.
Let's go.
Move!
Go.
L-Leader...
Speak.
Just now...ghouls and demons seemed coerced—
They ran into our Nets.
How's this so?
Told him not to overdo it.
Life has set rules.
I hope you're not so self-centred
as to affect those who care about you.
Lan Zhan, you're amending sect rules.
It'd be exhausting.
My composing progressed.
I can play it for you.
Lan Wangji... who am I to you?
Can you not mind my business?
Who am I to you?
I once saw you as my lifelong confidant.
I still am.
I knew Madam Jin
would put Senior Sister alone with that peacock.
It's unsafe here. This is a Measuring Snake's track.
What?
It's a South Lands monster.
It stands up when it encounters you.
If it's taller, it swallows you.
It looks scary but it's actually nothing.
This one has scales.
It's likely a mutation, hard to handle.
But in this Night Hunt,
all the prey is insignificant.
They can't hurt our people.
It's best if Hunts harm no-one.
Hurt no-one? Then, why hunt?
In our private Hunt grounds,
you'll see rare prey.
I've time next month to take you.
Thanks for your kindness.
But...
no need to bother.
Why not? You dislike watching Hunts?
Then why come this time?
I was...
I...
You dislike watching the Hunt
or dislike being with me?
That's not it.
That's not it. I...
So be it.
- Sorry. - Why are you sorry.
Think as you like.
I didn't invite you anyway.
You won't go; forget it.
Shameless villain.
Fine. Let Sister see his true face and cut him off.
Excuse me.
Hold it.
Wei Wuxian! Why you again?
I want to ask "why you again"!
No reason to hit.
What "no reason"?
I had to hit.
Why stop her out of shame?
If I don't, do I leave her alone on the mountain?
Light Bearer!
What's going on?
Zixuan, is Wei annoying you again.
Don't interfere.
Stop there.
What? Still want to fight?
*Wei, what do you mean? (*impolite)
You keep bugging Zixuan.
Who are you?
Don't know who I am?
Why'd I know you?
You!
Aunt.
Mother, why'd you come?
Don't be self-centred. Who said I came for you.
A-Li, why look upset?
Thanks, Madam. I'm fine.
Did this brat bully you again?
No.
Zixuan, want to die?
- What did you promise me? - I...
I don't care what he promised you.
Now Zixuan and Senior Sister will go separate ways.
Wei Wuxian. My aunt is your elder.
Aren't you presumptuous?
I mean Madam no disrespect.
But this cousin spoke rudely to Senior Sister many times.
If our Jiang Sect tolerates that, we have no prestige.
What presumption?
You're not arrogant?
This Hunt is for all.
You took over!
You seized one-third of prey. Proud of yourself?
One-third of prey?
Light Bearer, you're unaware.
After hunting a while,
we found no prey.
Yeah. Fragrance Lord said
a flute was heard in Mt. Phoenix arena.
Then prey, one by one, walked into Jiang Sect Nets
by themselves.
Wei Wuxian, you selfishly disregard others.
Isn't that arrogant?
Didn't you Jins say it? Hunting relies on skills.
Why betray your words?
You relied on evil tricks,
not your capabilities.
You just played your flute. What skill is that?
I didn't use evil tricks.
How's it not a skill?
Try playing?
See if anything follows you.
The way you break rules is akin to dirty tricks.
Then fine. I wonder what's considered a skill.
Show your skills. Astound me.
You...
Hnh?
But you disbelieve you're at fault.
You flouted rules before.
You wore no sword at the feast and this Hunt.
At grand events, you ignore etiquette.
How do you regard people here?
Lan Zhan, I forgot to say it.
For blocking the sword, thanks!
Yunmeng Jiang discipline is no more than this!
They allow your crooked path!
Zixun!
Jiang discipline? Crooked path?
Wei Ying.
You all wonder why I carry no sword?
No difference if I told you.
I, Wei Wuxian, without my sword,
with only maligned 'evil tricks',
will rise unparalleled and leave you all behind.
Wei Wuxian, you're a servant's son.
Don't go wild!
