[Word of Honor]

[Episode 31]

Your Majesty.

The two ghosts have waited
for a long time outside.

Shall I bring them in?

Your Majesty.

How many casualties are there?

Forty-seven died this time.

The wounded are 3...

Enough!

Though we got nothing from this trip,

we contributed a lot to it.

Qian Qiao.

Grant them the antidotes of this month.

Yes, sir.

Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

Master.

Hurry up!

Hurry up!

Your Majesty. Look whom I’ve brought you.

Antidote!

Where’s mine?

Ah Xiang!

Ah Xiang!

Ah Xiang!

Your Majesty.

Ah Xiang is just a petty servant in the Ghost Valley.

Why are you doing this?

Your Majesty.

This girl is the only person
whom the Lunatic Wen trusts.

We can definitely find out

Lunatic Wen’s whereabouts from her.

We’re in no hurry.

-Qian Qiao.
-Yes.

Untie Miss Amethyst Fiend.

I shall have a good talk with her.

Leader.

Do you still remember the motto
of the Gentle Wind Sword Sect?

“A man lives when his sword’s intact.

A man dies when his sword breaks.

Be righteous

and demolish demons.”

You still remember.

Then, do you remember
one of the rules of our sect?

“A disciple of the Gentle Wind Sect shall not
associate with demons.”

Today, you have to explain yourself in front of

the portrait of our master.

Why did you do that today?

I associated with the chief of
the Five Lakes Alliance.

He is not a demon.

He’s chosen to ask a tiger for its skin,
[*Ask somebody to act against his interest]

take in the Scorpion and

tame the evil ghosts of the Ghost Valley.

I can’t control what they do.

Leader.

Do you want me to explain

to our disciples with these excuses?

Chief Gao’s death is a mystery.

It’s very suspicious.

It must be Zhao Jing!

Chief Gao handed you the Glazed Armor,
which he cherished

more than his life.

But you...

Firstly,

I did not hand the Glazed Armor to anyone.

Secondly,

in such a dangerous situation today,

could you resolve it

without my association with Zhao Jing?

As a leader,

my priority is to

maintain the legacy of our sect.

I’m not guilty of anything.

Even if one day, we are forced to a corner

and that’s the only way to rescue the whole sect,

I don’t mind

losing my reputation.

I would rather die than act against the principles.

Back then,

everyone accused Chief Gao of associating
with the Ghost Valley

and k*lling his brothers.

Looking at it now,

Zhao Jing is the one who’s working
with the Ghost Valley!

Enough!

Do you think I’m too stupid or too cruel?

I’m acting along with Zhao Jing.

I have my own plans.

Senior, what are you planning to do?

Only if I become the supreme leader of
the martial arts world

in the upcoming Heroes Conference

and lead all heroes
to exterminate the Ghost Valley,

I will then have the rights to take control.

Brother Gao died tragically.

I must carry his burden.

But what can these things do?

If you trust me,

follow my lead.

I trust you, senior.

I know you didn’t do it.

I misunderstood you.

Open the door.

Forgive me.

My Lord, we’re late.

Xing Ming?

Be careful! Protect our lord!

Being the leader of the Window of Heaven,

you were once powerful

and ruled over people’s lives.

But in the end, you’re saved by some juniors

and have to flee for your life.

Without the prince’s support,

who do you think you are?

You!

What’s your name again?

You’re a disciple of Lao Bi. Am I right?

I’m Bi Xing Ming.

Lao Bi is stupid enough.

I didn’t expect that his disciple

would be more foolish.

Do you think you can snatch

such a principal criminal
out of the heavy-guarded prison?

Absolutely idiotic!

You’re the disciples of the old subordinates of
the Window of Heaven.

Each of you is being monitored by a few spies.

I’ve found out since the moment

you planned to break into the jail for him.

But you sensed nothing.

Did your dead masters

know how stupid you are?

But thanks to you.

You brought Leader Zhou out.

Anything could happen in combat.

When I was chasing after the fugitive,

I k*lled Leader Zhou by accident.

This is not violating the prince’s command, right?

I’m not stupid!

My Lord. I, the disciple of Cheng Xiu,
Cheng Zi Chen

am willing to sacrifice myself
today to protect you!

I shall make your wish come true then.

♪The world is torn apart♪

♪The river water has dried up♪

♪If I don’t return♪

♪Let the resentment disperse like clouds♪

♪As time passes by♪

♪Even a broken soul would know its death♪

♪The waves will return♪

♪As if it is immortal♪

♪Unstoppable fate♪

♪Stole the sun and the moon
in my eyes♪

♪Let’s pursue what’s righteous♪

♪Despite all the ups and downs
between heaven and earth♪

What are you waiting for?

Leave with them.

Retreat with the brothers first.

Yes!

Brothers! Let’s go!

Who are you, sir?

Wen.

Wen Ke Xing.

The chief of the Ghost Valley?

This was supposed to be a secret.

You’re putting me in an awkward situation

when you say it out loud.

Chief Wen, you’re here at the right time.

Even if you’re not here,

I will visit the Ghost Valley

to ask you for one thing.

Did I mishear you?

I didn’t k*ll you

yet you dare to ask things from me?

Chief Wen, stop pretending.

You’ve been too self -centered for too long,

not knowing any better about this world.

How dare you snatch
this criminal from Jin all by yourself!

You’ve underestimated the Window of Heaven!

You’ve revealed yourself.

My army will be here in no time.

Even if you’re excellent at martial arts,

you’re all alone.

Who said that he’s alone?

Where is Cheng Ling?

I’ve escorted him to a safe place. Don’t worry.

In this case,

we brothers can give it a go.

Wen Ke Xing! What are you trying to do?

You’ve called me Chief.

As the chief of 3,000 ghosts,

would I come here alone

to save him?

-Retreat!
-Hurry up!

Retreat!

Chief!

Greetings, My Lord! I’m Bi Xing Ming!

Greetings, My Lord! I’m Cheng Zi Chen!

Greetings, My Lord!

Senior.

Before Brother Han died,

he trusted me with these children.

I accepted them without asking you.

It was Brother Han’s life-long wish

to include them into the Four Seasons Manor.

It’s my wish as well.

I’m the unworthy second disciple of
the Four Seasons Manor, Wen Ke Xing.

Greetings, My Lord.

[Saijun Mansion]

Ah Xiang, they are back!

Master!

We’re here.

Master!

Sick Dude! This is great!

Master, are you injured?

Who can hurt me?

Why are you here?

It’s a long story. I’ll tell you later.

Sick Dude.

Why did the g*dd*mn prince hurt you so badly?

Master and I will avenge you later!

With your martial arts?

Bei Yuan?

Zi Shu.

It’s been many years. How have you been?

Master Wen, please calm down.

Though the Nails of Seven Torments is
hard to deal with,

it’s not hopeless.

Zi Shu has overcome many difficulties.

He will overcome this one too.

Prince Qi, as long as you can heal
Ah Xu’s injury,

I will...

try my best to repay you.

You don’t have to say this.

Zi Shu and I have known each other since young.

It’s just that he became colder as he grew up.

He never asks for help even if he needs it.

He never treats me as his friend.

Prince Qi, you knew Ah Xu before?

Yes.

Looking at it now,

it’s been a long time
as if it was something from my past life.

Master Wen!

The brothers are here.

Master Wen.

Prince Qi.

These children

are the disciples of our Four Seasons Manor.

Before the manor is rebuilt,

I might need to keep them at your place.

Master Wen.

Wu Xi and I can be who we are today

thanks to Zi Shu.

I’ll be offended

if you keep taking me as an outsider.

Greetings from Bi Xing Ming, Prince Qi.

What’s your relationship with Bi Chang Feng?

He’s my master.

I was fortunate to inherit
my master’s surname.

Very good.

Oh, right.

Talking about this.

I received a piece of news
from my warrior, Ah Qin Lai.

He has escorted Cheng Ling to Chief Shen Shen

of the Mount Dagu Sect safely.

Since Zi Shu is rescued,

shall we bring him back?

Da Wu, how was it? Can you save him?

Please allow me. I’m used to serving my master.

It’s fine. I’ll do it.

Let me do it instead.

Well. Why does he just do as you say?

Oh, right. My Lord.

I forgot to inform you.

It was all thanks to Master Wen.

He contacted me with the mark left
by Brother Han.

He made a good plan and led us.

What did you call me?

You should call us Master and Uncle Master.

Greetings...

No rush.

You can acknowledge us formally

along with your senior.

Lao Wen.

I have 19 young men in my sect now.

Aren’t you gonna share some of my burdens?

No problem, Leader Zhou.

You may leave first.

Alright.

Yes.

Let’s go.

Ah Xu.

Why weren’t you shocked

when you saw me outside of the jail?

I was looking forward to seeing your expression.

What’s so surprising?

I didn’t know when or how you would come.

But I knew

you would definitely come.

No wonder.

So, you were about to run away with your lover?

Yes.

Little girl.

Why aren’t you feeling shameful but proud?

Of course.

If Brother Cao is willing to come along with me,

it means that I’m more important
to Brother Cao,

compared to all the stupid rules
in the martial arts world.

Of course I’m happy!

You’re right!

Miss Xiang, you dare to love and hate.

You are like the girls of Nanjiang.

Yes. She’s like the people from Nanjiang,

who’s good at carrying off
children from decent families by fraud.

Oh, right. Little Xiang.

Tell me how you two manage to elope.

It’s a wonderful story.

Ah Xiang! Ah Xiang!

Ah Xiang!

Why don’t you light up your room?

I forgot.

How was it? What’s happening?

I still don’t get it now.

I feel like I have had a nightmare.

Master has associated with
the Five Lakes Alliance.

No.

Then, what’s with the Drug Men?

If they were allies,

why did the Drug Men surround Mount Qingfeng?

Did you see the man in the black robe?

He’s the Black Grim Reaper.

Why was a subordinate of
the Ghost Valley there?

Chief Zhao has convinced the seven sects.

They will hold the Heroes Conference again.

Those evil ghosts

have already surrendered to Chief Zhao.

Impossible.

It’s not strange that the Black Grim Reaper
would turn his back.

But Sister Qian Qiao would never betray Master.

You don’t know.

Sister Qian Qiao is the Beauty Ghost.

Don’t listen to Zhao Jing’s nonsense.

He’s not a decent man.

Ah Xiang.

Uncle Master told me these.

I could only believe him.

Ah Xiang, I don’t understand.

I don’t want to look into it either.

I was told that my master was
planning to pursue more.

He asked me not to look into it.

But...

But I understand even if I don’t ask.

This is not right.

Not right.

Brother Cao, what’s wrong?

I’m just...

Ah Xiang.

We promised each other.

If Master and Uncle Master
don’t agree to our marriage,

we will elope.

Are you being serious?

Let’s run away.

I don’t care about being a righteous man.

You’re not evil.

We shall leave.

I don’t understand and I don’t want to.

We shall leave this martial arts world.

We can open a dessert shop or
a cosmetics shop.

We can raise cows and farm.

We can do anything.

What do you say?

Yes.

That’s all. So we ran away.

Isn’t it great?

Indeed.

Brother Cao can distinguish right from wrong.

He’s a real man.

You’ve married the right man.

Wait a minute.

I still don’t get it.

Zhao Jing has associated with Mo Huai Yang
of the Gentle Wind Sect

since the beginning?

Yes. But he hid it.

He didn’t tell his son, Scorpion King.

Scorpion King fought for nothing.

He must be extremely angry.

This is not right, Ah Xiang.

Since you’ve decided to run away,

how did you meet the people from
the Ghost Valley?

And how did you find us?

What’s wrong?

I’m sorry, Prince Qi.

Master Wen doesn’t allow Ah Xiang to say that part.

He will cut her tongue off if she does.

Alright, then.

It’s fine. You don’t have to.

Luckily, you found Master Wen in time.

Or else, we had to

throw our lives into it.

Ah Xiang.

Does Brother Wen have to return
to the Ghost Valley?

He finally reunites with Brother Zhou.

He will come back after stepping down
from the chief position

and help Aunt Luo and her subordinates settle down.

But the Exorcism Assembly is starting soon.

All the heroes will go to Mount Qingya.

They can do whatever they want.

I only care about my sisters
from the Department of the Unfaithful.

There’s nothing good about the Ghost Valley.

Who cares if they’re dying?

Alright. Hopefully, everything goes well.

How does the silly girl
fold the clothes normally?

You’re here in time.

What’s wrong? Why do you look so dull?

Master. I’m still worried.

Can you not return to the Ghost Valley?

We just have to take care of the sisters

of the Department of the Unfaithful.

Let the other ghosts find their own way home.

They are all betrayers anyway.

Who cares if they are dying?

Childish.

Don’t worry.

I’ll come back right away.

You only need to take care of Ah Xu for me.

Master, you can’t hide it from me.

I’m not stupid.

I brought Scorpion King to you

because I thought you could

make him surrender.

But if you get hurt from this,

I...

I will never forgive myself.

And I saw it myself.

Those silly ghosts were controlled by
Scorpion King’s secret medicine.

They listened to him like pugs.

Why do they come back and serve you

after your secret talk with Scorpion King?

Although Scorpion King hates Zhao Jing,

that is not enough of a reason
for him to help his enemy.

You even know that he’s helping his enemy?

Seems like you’ve gotten smarter

after being with Little Cao.

Master, don’t change the topic!

Brother Cao has said.

You’re asking a tiger...

Asking a tiger for what?

Asking a tiger for its skin!
[*Asking somebody to act against his interest]

I know.

You would give it all

to save Zhou Xu back then.

But Master,

please tell me what you have promised him.

I’ve told you previously.

Never mention my plot

with Scorpion King to anyone else,

especially Ah Xu.

I didn’t.

I just think I should also know what that is.

Master, I’m so worried about you.

Silly girl.

Scorpion King acts along with me

because it benefits him too.

I’ll explain this to you some other time.

The priority now

is for Ah Xu to heal as soon as possible.

Don’t worry.

Da Wu has said.

Once Ah Xu’s condition improves to his best,

we need another master to be here

to remove the nails.

I’ll come back before that.

Now that you have said so,

I won’t keep you.

Right. You may leave me behind a hundred times,

but not even once when it comes to that Sick Dude.

You’re jealous of a man?

No.

Why are you jealous because of me?

Why aren’t you jealous because of
your Brother Cao?

He won’t make me jealous.

Master, you must come back safely.

Have confidence in me, OK?

Even if I am asking a tiger for its skin,

do you think I can’t
outwit and defeat Scorpion King?

Who’s the tiger? Who’s the hunter?

We don’t know yet.

Chief is back!

All evils retreat!

All ghosts return!

Welcome back, Chief.

My apologies.

But there’s only one chair

in your hall.

If you like it,

I can let you be the chief of the Ghost Valley.

How about that?

No, thanks.

I don’t think

I can handle a critical downfall.

You’d better keep

the position to yourself, Chief Wen.

Brother Cheng Ling. Enough! Stop practicing!

Brother Cheng Ling!

You can’t master martial arts overnight.

I know you’re upset.

But you can’t push yourself too hard on it.

Training days and nights

might not benefit you.

Cheng Ling.

Uncle Shen.

Can you talk some sense into Cheng Ling?

Uncle Shen.

[To the Leader of the Mount Dagu Sect, Shen Shen]

[Dear Chevalier Shen of the Mount Dagu Sect]

[Demolish the ghosts and cleanse the world.]
[It’ll be held on 15th this month in White Deer Town]

The Exorcism Assembly is confirmed?

We finally have the chance to carry out

what Big Brother couldn’t.

White Deer Town?

This name sounds familiar.

White Deer Town is right outside Mount Qingya.

The first chief of the Ghost Valley, Rong Chang Qing,

is buried in White Deer Town.

Exorcism Assembly is held in this place

so that we can exterminate the Ghost Valley

with this opportunity in one go.

Uncle Shen, are you going to the assembly too?

I want to ask you two about it.

If I the one to make the call,
I wouldn’t bother to go there.

I just want to fulfill the wishes of
my big brother and fourth brother,

watching you grow up and
form your own families.

But Cheng Ling,

although I don’t know

how Zhou Zi Shu is involved in this,

Wen Ke Xing will definitely return
to the Ghost Valley.

What do you think?

Chief. I deserve to die.

Who did you offend?

Why are you here to serve me as the scapegoat?

Yes... Serving... Being able to serve chief...

is... is my honor, is...

Enough. Get out.

Yes.

What are you afraid of?

No matter how fierce a ghost is,

as long as it finds the path to man’s world,

it will choose to become human again.

It was a slip of the tongue.

♪It’s cruel but it’s beautiful♪

♪It’s cruel but it’s beautiful♪

Scorpion King has used the Drunk-Like-a-Dream

to neutralize the effect of the Water of Lethe.

♪Who missed it?♪

Now,

♪Who missed it?♪

I remember everything.

♪Dreams are vague♪

Back then, in the Healer Valley,

♪Dreams are vague♪

your parents took care of me

♪Dreams are vague♪

and consoled me.

They not only cured me

but also offered me help when I needed it.

But I...

I hate myself for

not being able to save them.

Luckily...

Luckily, I saved you.

But I didn’t take good care of you.

Aunt Luo.

Aunt Luo.

I always remember your kindness.

I really don’t understand.

Why are you back in this doomed place?

Aunt Luo. I’ve recalled everything.

I thought I succeeded in resisting

the effect of the Water of Lethe

and remembered

all the murderers who k*lled my parents.

All these years,

you saw me k*lling them one by one.

You must know it clearly.

But I was wrong.

The moment I drank the Water of Lethe,

my obsession was

that I led an evil person into my family.

I k*lled my parents indirectly.

Everything could have ended differently.

But it is another story now.

I’ve been the chief of the Ghost Valley
for eight years.

Every day, I have to stay alert
in case anyone tries to k*ll me.

I have to come up with plans to k*ll others too.

Even after k*lling all the murderers,

I didn’t feel happy
because I had finally taken my revenge,

but anxious and tortured.

I thought that was hatred too

because I didn’t take revenge on all the people

who pushed my parents down the cliff.

Hence, I put in so much effort to set up a trap.

An interlocking m*rder game.

Aunt Luo.

Do you know my initial plan?

Hanged Ghost didn’t steal my Glazed Armor.

I don’t have the Glazed Armor either.

I k*lled him secretly long ago.

That was just an excuse.

Chief!

My plan was to reenact
the Battle of Mount Qingya.

No.

I wanted to light a bigger fire

to burn up all the filthiness in this world!

Those so-called decent sects
in the martial arts world

are simply greedy ghosts covered with human skin!

They should die together
with the demons and monsters

of Mount Qingya!

I let you out to the martial arts world

and released the news of the Glazed Armor

all for this plan.

Once you enter the Ghost Valley,
you’re isolated from man’s world.

Whoever comes to Mount Qingya

for their desire of the Glazed Armor

will die here!

Ah Xing. What do you mean?

Are you...

Are you planning to die with them?

Since I set up such an evil trap,

I didn’t consider other things.

I didn’t consider

how many innocent people would die from this

because at that time, I thought

the world had turned its back on me,

so I wouldn’t mind k*lling everyone in the world.

Until later,

a man taught me something.

Hatred is the same as greediness,

which cages people and makes them suffer.

My parents

and even you, Aunt Luo.

You tried so hard to save me,

not to bury yourself in the past.

Aunt Luo.

I’ve made a deal with Scorpion King.
We’ll get what we need.

Tomorrow onwards,

I’ll ask him to

remove the poison in you and Qian Qiao.

Bring the girls from the Department of
the Unfaithful out of this valley.

As long as we let go of our hatred,

we are in the humans world.

Why shall we cage ourselves up?

Since you’ve decided to let go,

I’ll bless you.

You have your own decision.

I have made mine as well.

I’m willing to

suffer in this Ghost Valley forever.
