Witch Legend (2025)

[bunniefuu]

[In the early Ming Dynasty, ]

[Han Bing of the Dongting Sect, along with

Liu Pengju, Huang Shixuan, and others, ]

[formed the Chu Tian Seven,

with Han Bing being the youngest.]

[Han Bing fell in love with Shui Xianhong,

a female disciple of the Yaoxian Sect.]

[When their marriage was discussed, ]

[his six elder brothers

opposed the union due to]

[longstanding prejudices

between the two sects, ]

[leading to a heart-wrenching tale...]

Fang.

Giddyup!

Sir,

I need to see Han Bing,

Master of your Dongting Sect.

Miss,

Master isn't seeing visitors today.

It's urgent.

Please inform him.

I've already said,

Master isn't seeing visitors today.

Please leave.

What if I insist on seeing him?

Then let's see what you're capable of.

[The Witch's Tale]

Wait, Miss.

[Grace Like Clouds and Water]

Miss!

Shui Xianhong? Why is it you?

Is there a problem with me being here?

You don't want to see me, do you?

I truly have a patient here.

She's severely ill.

She's been unconscious

for a day and night.

I don't want to hear your excuses!

And I don't believe them either.

I just want to know

why you broke off our engagement!

I don't have time to explain now.

The patient inside is a child

whose life is in danger.

Wait a moment.

No.

You must give me an answer now.

Tell me,

why did you broke off our engagement?

Otherwise,

one of us will have to die here today!

[Grace Like Clouds and Water]

Shui Xianhong,

let me tell you

why the engagement was broken off.

Why?

It's because you're

a disciple of the Yaoxian Sect.

Your master, the Hundred Poisons Immortal,

looks down on us, the Chu Tian Seven.

Therefore,

you and Han Bing

can never be husband and wife.

But I'm different from

my master.

I can make my master

take back what she said.

That's impossible.

Words spoken are like water spilled.

They can never be taken back.

Han Bing! Han Bing!

Please come quickly.

Fang has passed out.

Han Bing,

I'm begging you.

Please save my daughter Fang.

Fang,

I'm so sorry!

If I hadn't taken you

to the forest yesterday,

you wouldn't have

eaten that poisonous fruit.

[Grace Like Clouds and Water]

You wouldn't have been poisoned.

Fang,

don't leave me.

Don't leave your family!

Fang. Fang!

[Grace Like Clouds and Water]

What are you doing?

I want to see if she's alive or dead.

The child is dying.

If you're angry, take it out on me.

Not on the child, please.

I'm not here to vent my anger.

I'm here to save the child.

What are you doing?

Don't lick it. It's poisonous.

I'm a disciple

of the Hundred Poisons Immortal.

I'm immune to poison.

Han Bing, I can save her.

Really?

Miss, if you can save Fang's life,

our entire family will be grateful to you.

Whatever you want,

I can give it to you.

Yes, Miss.

If you can save Fang,

we'll be grateful to you for life.

I don't need your gratitude.

I only ask that you,

as his elder brother,

agree to my marriage with Han Bing.

Well...

Why are you hesitating now?

As long as she can save Fang,

we should agree, not just

to the marriage, but to anything.

You don't understand.

This matter

isn't something I can decide alone.

If you can't decide,

then I will.

Miss,

as long as you can save Fang,

I'll make sure

Han Bing marries you.

Han Bing,

did you hear what your sister-in-law said?

Actually, I...

Han Bing,

say something.

Stop being so indecisive.

Just agree already.

Fine.

I agree.

You must promise

never to go back on your word.

I promise.

Even if the sky falls

and the earth cracks,

I will never go back on my word.

Madam,

your child has eaten

a rare poisonous fruit.

It's called the Death Spirit Fruit.

Almost no one can cure its poison.

To eliminate this deadly poison,

a specific medicine is needed.

Miss Shui,

please tell me what medicine it is.

No matter the cost,

no matter how difficult,

we'll find a way to get it.

This medicine is called Xiaoxiang Herb.

It's very hard to obtain.

Are you saying Fang can't be saved?

I didn't say that.

Madam, don't worry.

I'll go find the medicine now.

Miss Shui,

it's getting dark.

Where will you go to find the medicine?

My master once told me

there's a doctor at Dongting Lake,

named Wu Fenglin.

There's no illness in this world

he can't cure.

I'll go find him.

Then, let me go with you.

No.

I'd better go alone.

Take good care of Fang

and make sure nothing else goes wrong.

I'm leaving.

Hey, make way!

Hey!

Good deals here!

Come take a look!

Hey, let me see that.

Hey, bargains here!

[Renkang Pharmacy]

Fresh fruit here!

Calligraphy and paintings!

Excuse me, sir.

Miss,

what medicine are you looking for?

I'm looking for someone.

Who might that be, Miss?

He's a doctor,

named Wu Fenglin.

He's the best doctor around Dongting Lake.

Everyone calls him Magical Doctor Wu.

Do you know where he lives?

Why are you also asking about Doctor Wu?

What about him?

Nothing about him really.

It's just...

Miss,

you're after that scripture too,

aren't you?

Scripture? What scripture?

"Xiaoyao Scripture".

"Xiaoyao Scripture"?

Tell me where Doctor Wu lives,

and this silver ingot is yours.

Miss,

please don't take offense,

but I can't tell you where he lives.

Is the silver not enough?

[Xiaoyao Scripture]

The martial arts in this scripture

are truly miraculous.

How many times have I told you?

Stop looking at that scripture.

You're going to get us

in trouble sooner or later.

Honey, I'm only reading it at home.

No one else can see it.

What are you afraid of?

Who's there?

Someone seeking medical help.

Hurry.

What illness?

It's a child.

She ate the Death Spirit Fruit

and urgently needs

Xiaoxiang Herb from Mount Jun.

We don't have any here.

Please try elsewhere.

Open the door!

Open up quickly!

How can you say we don't have any?

A life is at stake.

Honey, it's so late.

What if it's someone dangerous?

Open the door!

It's just a young lady.

How could she be dangerous?

Step aside.

A life is at stake.

Doctor Wu.

Where's the child?

The child is unconscious,

so she couldn't come.

But I've examined her carefully.

Now we only need

the Xiaoxiang Herb from Mount Jun.

So you know medicine too?

Miss,

are you also a doctor?

I'm not.

My master is the Hundred Poisons Immortal,

so I know a little about medicine.

So you're

the Hundred Poisons Immortal's disciple.

An honor to meet you.

Please wait a moment, Miss.

I'll get the herb for you.

Okay.

[Xiaoyao Scripture]

[Xiaoyao Scripture]

Honey!

Leave the scripture behind!

Leave the scripture behind!

Leave the scripture behind.

Who is this woman?

I must find out where she comes from.

Found it. I found the herb.

Miss Shui,

thank you for your hard work.

Thank you.

No need for thanks now.

Han Bing, quickly find a pot

to brew the herbs.

Okay.

Come in.

Boss.

- Boss.

- Did you get the scripture?

No.

A woman took it from me.

What kind of woman?

I think her name is Shui Xianhong.

The Hundred Poisons Immortal's disciple.

Why is Shui Xianhong here?

Where is she now?

She went to the Dongting Sect.

Said she was going to save a child.

Boss,

what's our next move?

Tonight, go to the Dongting Sect

and find Xie Shan.

Tell him to keep an eye

on this Shui Xianhong.

Yes.

One!

Two!

Three!

Four!

Five!

[Xiaoyao Scripture Techniques]

[Second Form]

Hong.

Yes.

Are you up?

I...

I'm up.

I've been up for a while.

Bing, please come in.

Bing.

Yes.

Have a seat.

Okay.

Hong.

Hmm?

I have something urgent to tell you.

What is it?

I need to leave for a few days.

Leave?

You can't go.

You can't leave me.

It's only temporary.

So we can be together

for good in the future.

I don't believe you. You're lying to me.

How could I lie to you?

Hong,

remember when you were

curing Fang of the poison?

Xiutang and I made a promise.

Promise?

Yes.

Is Xiutang trying to

go back on his word?

Let me tell you, Han Bing.

If your fourth brother backs out,

I'll go k*ll him right now!

Alright.

How could Xiutang back out?

You saved Fang's life.

He's nothing but grateful to you.

He asked me and Jiangjian

to go find Pengju and Shixuan

to convince them both

to agree to our marriage.

Really?

When will you be back?

Three to five days.

No. Two days. Just two days.

How is two days enough?

The journey alone

takes more than two days.

Besides,

I haven't seen

Pengju and Shixuan for so long.

I can't just state my business and leave.

Then three days.

You must be back in three days.

Fine.

Three days it is.

Bing.

Yes?

There's something you must promise me.

What is it? Tell me.

I heard the Dongting Sect has a secret

chamber for martial arts practice.

While you're away,

I want to practice in that chamber.

That's not possible.

That chamber is a secret

of the Dongting Sect.

Usually,

only Master and Hall Masters

are allowed to practice there.

Bing, I'll be honest with you.

I'm practicing the "Xiaoyao Scripture".

"Xiaoyao Scripture"?

So many people are

looking for this scripture lately.

How did it end up in your hands?

Don't ask yet.

Just promise me first.

Let me use the chamber to practice.

If news about this scripture gets out,

it would be bad for me

and for our Dongting Sect.

Okay.

I promise you.

Brother Xiaosi,

will you teach me

how to play this flute melody?

Sure.

Come in.

Come in quickly.

[Heaven Rewards Diligence]

[Heaven Rewards Diligence]

Hmph.

Hand over the scripture now,

and I'll spare your life.

Who are you people?

Where are you from?

Who sent you?

Hmph,

you're not my wife.

Why should I tell you?

Lu, stop wasting time with her.

Let's just finish her off.

But this lady's so pretty,

even prettier than

the courtesans at Xiuchun House.

k*lling her right away

would be such a waste.

You wench,

surrender now.

If you please us brothers today,

we'll spare your life.

Otherwise,

I'll make you

beg for death.

I won't be the one begging for death.

You will.

Tell me,

who sent you?

Who's the mole at Dongting Sect?

Hmph,

I know you're holding poison,

but we're not afraid.

We've seen plenty of poisons.

You can't poison us.

You'll only poison yourself.

You wench,

even if you die,

we brothers won't let you go.

Your naked corpse

would still be charming.

Boss,

didn't you say she wouldn't have poison?

Don't ring the bell.

Miss Shui, you can't ring the bell.

You can't!

Hurry!

- Hurry!

- Hurry!

Hurry.

[Illuminate Virtue, Pursue Truth]

Hurry up!

Quickly, keep up!

Everyone follow! Quickly! Hurry!

Which one of you is the mole?

Step forward now.

Otherwise,

don't blame me for being merciless.

I'll give you one last chance.

I'll count to three.

One.

Miss Shui.

Out of respect for our master,

we won't be your enemy.

But if you bully our Dongting Sect,

I, Tiesuo, humble as I am,

would like to experience

your swordsmanship.

Two!

Tiesuo!

Let me handle this.

Come if you're not afraid to die.

Scared now?

Those with clear conscience

have nothing to fear.

Who says I'm afraid?

You're no ghost.

Even if you were one,

I wouldn't fear you.

You...

What are you doing?

I'll give you one last chance.

Whoever is the mole,

step forward now,

or I'll make sure

you die without a proper burial.

Everyone in Dongting Sect is our brother.

You're the only outsider.

You won't find any mole among us.

So you're saying

I'm the mole in Dongting Sect?

I...

I didn't say that.

There's a faint purple stain on his hand.

This proves he touched

the mechanism of the secret chamber

where I applied the Purple Satin Balm.

You are the mole

who let those men in black

into the secret chamber.

You're making false accusations!

I never went near the master's room.

How could I let those men in?

This is slander!

Hall Master Kong is right.

He's been with me all day

and never entered the master's room.

You vouch for him,

but who vouches for you?

Let me tell you,

he's the one who opened

the secret chamber for those men in black.

He is the mole!

Miss Shui,

please release Hall Master Kong.

Hall Master Kong

is loyal to Dongting Sect.

I absolutely don't believe he's a mole.

Let's wait for the master

to return and decide.

Hall Master Kong!

Hall Master Kong!

Who's there?

Stop!

Shui Xianhong,

you despicable woman!

You k*lled Hall Master Kong!

I didn't k*ll him.

You k*lled Hall Master Kong

with your own hands

and still dare to deny it!

Brothers,

avenge Hall Master Kong!

Avenge Hall Master Kong!

Avenge Hall Master Kong!

Miss Shui,

you truly are a master of poison.

Right before everyone's eyes,

you poisoned Hall Master Kong to death.

Even if our master were here,

he wouldn't let you off easily.

Let me tell you all,

if I wanted to k*ll Hall Master Kong,

I wouldn't have done it in public.

All of you

are blind

and can't tell right from wrong.

Please get out of my way.

Shui Xianhong.

Don't think we fear you just because

you have deadly poison on your hands.

The men of Dongting Sect

are all men of honor.

Even if you poison us all to death,

you still won't be able to leave.

Let me tell you once more,

I did not k*ll Hall Master Kong.

Hall Master Niu,

tell everyone to stand back.

I promise you

that before the master returns,

I won't leave Dongting Sect

even half a step,

nor will I harm any

of Dongting Sect's disciples.

However,

if you go against me,

you all know how formidable

I can be.

Let her go.

Let her go!

[Grace Like Clouds and Water]

Xie Shan,

keep an eye on her.

Don't let her leave Dongting Sect

under any circumstances.

We'll wait for the master to return

before making any decisions.

Yes.

Master, you're finally back.

What happened?

Something terrible has happened.

Please go and see for yourself.

Boss.

Has Han Bing returned?

Yes, just now.

Niu Tiesuo is briefing him on the details.

Keep an eye on Shui Xianhong.

And then?

Act according to the situation.

Yes, Boss.

Bing. Bing!

I've missed you so much.

You're finally back.

What's wrong?

Did your elder brothers

not approve of our marriage?

No.

Then why?

Let me ask you,

did you k*ll Hall Master Kong?

It was Niu Tiesuo and the others

who told you, wasn't it?

Never mind who told me.

Did you k*ll Hall Master Kong?

Bing,

even you don't believe me?

I can believe you,

but I believe facts more.

You must tell me the truth.

Fine.

Then I'll tell you.

I didn't k*ll Kong Zhezhu.

Someone wanted to silence him.

I told Niu Tiesuo

to guard Kong Zhezhu's body.

Bing, if you investigate carefully,

you'll surely find some clues.

I've already examined the body.

There's a pinhole-sized wound on his neck

with a hairlike needle inside.

He was poisoned to death.

I've examined the poison needle.

It's a very rare poisonous weapon

in the martial arts world.

They say

only the Yaoxian Sect has such poison.

What are you trying to say?

Are you saying I shot this poison needle?

Your Yaoxian Sect

is known for its poison expertise.

Han Bing,

are you really confused

or just pretending to be?

Kong Zhezhu was right in front of me.

How could I possibly use a poison needle?

If that poisoning mechanism

was hidden in your sleeve,

wouldn't it be easier to succeed?

Han Bing,

I never thought you would say that.

Let me tell you,

if I wanted to k*ll Kong Zhezhu,

there would be no need to do it secretly.

When it comes to real martial arts,

no one in your Dongting Sect

would be a match for me.

Bing, you must believe me.

There really is a mole

in Dongting Sect.

Think about it.

If there was no mole in Dongting Sect,

how could these villains possibly know

that I had the "Xiaoyao Scripture"?

They even entered the secret chamber.

Kong Zhezhu was the one

who opened the door to the secret chamber.

Kong Zhezhu is the mole!

You keep insisting

that Hall Master Kong is the mole,

but Hall Masters Duan and Xie told me

that the three of them were together

and never separated all night.

Are you saying Hall Masters Duan and Xie

are moles too?

Is our entire Dongting Sect

full of moles?

Bing,

there might be hidden circumstances.

But Kong Zhezhu's hands

had traces of Purple Satin Balm.

He must have touched the mechanism

of the secret chamber door.

Let me examine Kong Zhezhu's body.

I can surely find

the mastermind behind this.

You should stay out of this matter.

I'll investigate it myself.

You just stay here.

Don't leave.

Han Bing.

I've been waiting

for your return every day,

hoping you would clear my name

in front of everyone.

I never expected you

to believe Niu Tiesuo's lies

and continue to

keep me under house arrest!

Let me tell you,

if I want to leave,

no one in your Dongting Sect can stop me.

Shui Xianhong,

I'm also telling you,

my Dongting Sect is not a place

where you can come and go as you please.

Besides, I don't intend to

keep you under house arrest.

You went on a k*lling spree

in Dongting Sect

and provoked everyone's anger.

If the situation continues to develop,

it won't do any good

to either you or our Dongting Sect.

I'm stopping you from going out

and causing you more trouble

for your own good.

For my good?

You're afraid I'll damage

your reputation, aren't you?

Think whatever you want.

Han Bing.

You do not deserve

to stand for a righteous sect.

You're unable to distinguish

right from wrong,

or tell black from white.

I'm telling you,

someday

I will reveal the truth to everyone!

I've been waiting

for your return every day,

hoping you would clear my name

in front of everyone.

I never expected you

to believe Niu Tiesuo's lies

and continue to

keep me under house arrest!

I don't intend to

keep you under house arrest.

You went on

a k*lling spree in Dongting Sect

and provoked everyone's anger.

If the situation continues to develop,

it won't do any good

to either you or our Dongting Sect.

Hmph!

Han Bing, I'm leaving.

Even if you beg me,

I won't come back.

Never coming back.

Boss, that was a brilliant move.

k*lling two birds with one stone.

That fool Han Bing has fallen for it.

Your plan is halfway successful.

It's not just my success.

It's ours.

Yes, it's ours.

Boss.

Han Bing said he's sending someone

to invite Liu Pengju,

saying he knows something about poisons.

I'm wondering if your poison needles

can pass his inspection.

Liu Pengju knows very little

about hidden weapons.

As long as Huang Shixuan doesn't show up,

Han Bing will get nothing.

Boss.

I think we should take this opportunity

to bring down Han Bing

and eliminate Niu Tiesuo.

You want to become the master, right?

Boss.

These are all things you promised me.

That's why I...

Don't worry,

after we succeed,

all the benefits you want

will be yours.

Thank you, Boss.

How is it, Pengju?

The men in black who died

in Dongting Sect's secret chamber

were poisoned

with something extraordinary.

I've never seen this kind

of poison in my life.

These men in black had strong

martial arts skills and inner power,

yet they had no resistance whatsoever.

This shows how potent the poison is.

Could it be...

Could it be what?

Oh.

When I was young, my master told me

about a deadly poison

recorded in an ancient book.

No matter how strong

your martial arts are,

once you inhale this poison,

you won't make it past five steps

before dropping dead instantly.

Five-Step Crimson Death?

What? You know of this poison too?

Shui Xianhong's master

created this poison.

It seems it was never used before.

Now that Five-Step Crimson Death

has reappeared,

there will surely be a great calamity.

What poison did Hall Master Kong

and those who died

in Shui Xianhong's room suffer?

Judging from his complexion,

Hall Master Kong was likely poisoned

with something common.

It's a poison

commonly used by unorthodox sects.

Not like the unique poisons

of the Yaoxian Sect.

Bing.

Let me see the poison needle

that k*lled Hall Master Kong.

Shixuan.

This is what I found

on Kong Zhezhu's body.

I don't know what it's called.

Shixuan, you're an expert

in hidden weapons.

See if you recognize anything special

about this fine needle.

Pengju.

If I'm not mistaken,

this is called the Apricot Drizzle Needle.

It's even finer

than ordinary hair needles,

so whoever uses it

must have extraordinary inner power

to control it.

So...

So what kind of inner power

is required exactly?

The technique for using

the Apricot Drizzle Needle has been lost.

So these fine needles

were likely launched

by a mechanical device

built to the specifications

of the Apricot Drizzle Needle.

Therefore, we can't determine

what kind of inner power was used.

Shixuan.

If it was triggered by a mechanism,

it must be the work

of a sect skilled with poisons.

It seems this can only be

the work of Shui Xianhong.

I never thought

this woman could be so vicious.

Bing.

I'm afraid this matter isn't so simple.

Shixuan, what do you mean by that?

Pengju and I are a bit tired.

Let's stop the investigation for today.

Bing.

Since Shixuan is tired,

we'll return to our room and rest.

We'll continue investigating

the m*rder tomorrow.

All right then.

Please come in, both of you.

Pengju.

Shixuan.

What's so mysterious

that you need to hide it from Bing?

Pengju, please sit.

Let me explain.

Okay.

Years ago, my master had a friend

called Recluse Xugu.

When I was 9 years old,

I accompanied my master

to visit Recluse Xugu's home.

One day,

I wandered alone into a room.

My eyes lit up at what I saw.

The room was filled with hidden weapons.

All kinds,

ones I had never seen before.

I was particularly curious

about one weapon,

a black wooden box.

One end had dozens of tiny needle holes,

and the other end had a button.

I tried to open it,

but couldn't.

So I hid in the room by myself

and began to figure it out.

Just then,

my master found me.

He angrily dragged me out of the room

and forbade me

from mentioning it to anyone.

I asked my master why.

My master told me

Recluse Xugu

was once a notorious bandit,

but later reformed

and changed his identity.

He had sealed away all the weapons

he had used before,

because he didn't want others

to know about his past.

Shixuan, the weapon box you just described

must be related

to the Apricot Drizzle Needles.

Yes.

That box was actually a mechanism

that could fire over a dozen

thin needles at once.

Those needles were

the Apricot Drizzle Needles.

So many years have passed.

I should have taken this secret

to my grave.

But now,

this matter concerns Bing

and the survival

of the entire Dongting Sect.

So I have no choice but to reveal it.

From what you're saying,

Shui Xianhong obtained

the Apricot Drizzle Needles

from Recluse Xugu?

No.

Recluse Xugu passed away many years ago.

Pengju.

Do you know Recluse Xugu's real name?

I've never heard of this person.

Let alone his real name.

Recluse Xugu's real name

was Feng Wujin.

Feng Wujin?

Zhixin's father?

Yes, he was

Feng Zhixin's father.

Mr. Liu, Mr. Huang,

breakfast is ready.

Time to eat.

Mr. Liu? Mr. Huang?

Bad news!

Bad news!

Master.

It's Five-Step Crimson Death again.

That woman is pure evil.

Master, the bodies have turned cold.

They already died

last night.

Pengju,

Shixuan,

I've failed you.

I will definitely avenge you.

Pengju, Shixuan,

though I'm not one of the Chu Tian Seven,

the Master's buddies

are also my buddies.

I will not rest

until I have my revenge!

I will not rest

until I have my revenge!

[In Memoriam]

I never thought

such a terrible tragedy

would befall Dongting Sect.

Bing, don't blame yourself too much.

The martial world is dangerous.

Be more careful from now on.

Bing,

what happened?

Master, someone delivered a letter.

Who was it?

I don't know.

She said the letter must be given to you

in person.

I am at Humu Peak, Hutiao Mountain.

Come find me

if you've figured it out.

Bing, where are you going?

Look after Pengju and Shixuan for me.

I'm going out for a while.

Shui Xianhong!

You cruel woman!

Come out now!

Shui Xianhong!

You vicious woman!

Come out now!

Han Bing.

I wrote to summon you here

because I wanted

to talk things through with you.

I didn't expect

you'd still be so stubborn

and unable to tell right from wrong.

It's not that I can't tell right

from wrong.

It's that you're heartless

and vicious!

Han Bing, if you insult me again,

I'll k*ll you right now!

Even if you k*ll me today,

I demand to get to the bottom of this.

Pengju and Shixuan

never did you any wrong.

Why did you poison them?

Pengju and Shixuan?

I've never even met them.

How could I have k*lled them?

They all died

from Five-Step Crimson Death.

If you didn't k*ll them,

then who else did it?

Five-Step Crimson Death?

Han Bing, I swear

that these days,

I never once left Humu Peak

or used Five-Step Crimson Death.

Cut the crap.

Come back to Dongting Sect with me now.

In front of Pengju's

and Shixuan's remains

and in front of everyone,

explain this matter clearly!

What do you mean by that?

You want me to return

to Dongting Sect with you,

just to stand trial

before all your disciples?

Of course.

You k*lled so many people

from my Dongting Sect.

Don't I have every right

to hold you accountable?

Han Bing,

calling you foolish

is actually flattering you.

You're a complete b*stard!

Get out of here now,

or don't blame me for being ruthless!

Fine.

If you're ruthless,

don't blame me for being the same.

Shui Xianhong,

today you must come with me.

Han Bing.

You're asking for death!

Han Bing.

I was holding back on every move just now.

That was my last bit of affection for you.

I never expected

you would not only be ungrateful,

but actually try to k*ll me.

You're truly overestimating yourself.

You!

Han Bing,

I can spare your life,

as long as you admit you've falsely

accused me.

Cut the crap.

Just k*ll me!

I truly regret

being fooled

by your beauty and tenderness.

I should never have reconciled with you!

I brought trouble to Dongting Sect

and my buddies!

Han Bing,

you're completely stupid.

Do you really think I ever loved you?

You're wrong.

I never loved you.

I went to Dongting Sect to find you,

just to annoy my master.

My master was right.

Men are all liars.

All of the Chu Tian Seven deserve to die!

Shui Xianhong,

you've finally told the truth.

It's your entire Yaoxian Sect

that deserves to be wiped out!

My right arm is already injured.

This is your best chance to finish me off.

Go ahead.

Shui Xianhong,

from now on,

we have nothing to do with each other.

[Grace Like Clouds and Water]

Bing,

I've said all I need to say.

We Chu Tian Seven

have always been as close as brothers,

looking after each other.

Pengju and Shixuan

cared about you more than anyone.

Now they've been poisoned to death

by Shui Xianhong,

yet you're still hesitating,

unable to make a decision.

I'm not criticizing you,

but you should bring Shui Xianhong

down from the mountain

to avenge Pengju and Shixuan.

There are some things

I don't know how to tell you.

After all these years,

you should know what kind of person I am.

Just speak your mind.

Jiangjian,

I just took a moment

to think through everything

that has happened these past few days.

I think there's something suspicious

about all this.

There are some things

that just don't make sense.

What are you referring to?

That day, Pengju and Shixuan came

for the Apricot Drizzle Needle case.

Pengju said it was Shui Xianhong's doing.

Shixuan said it wasn't that simple.

I felt Shixuan was hinting at something

back then.

I was planning to ask Shixuan

about it the next day,

but they were both poisoned to death.

And then there's the matter

about Kong Zhezhu.

Shui Xianhong Red has never admitted

that she k*lled Kong Zhezhu.

Jiangjian,

I'm not defending Shui Xianhong.

If we don't get to the bottom

of the Apricot Drizzle Needle case

and just k*ll Shui Xianhong like this,

I think we're

acting too rashly.

The truth

about the Apricot Drizzle Needle case

will come to light sooner or later.

However, Bing,

Pengju and Shixuan died

from Five-Step Crimson Death.

Only Shui Xianhong

has access to this poison.

She must be the m*rder*r.

We're fully justified in k*lling her!

I know all this.

But...

But Shui Xianhong swore to my face

that she had never met

Pengju and Shixuan before.

She had no reason to poison them.

You really believe

what Shui Xianhong said?

Jiangjian,

we all live by the code of this world.

Would you harm someone

you've never met

and have no grudge against?

Zhixin, you sent for me?

Manxi, have a seat.

Zhixin,

please tell me what you need.

Good.

Manxi,

your cousin told me

that you learned the art of disguise,

and you're quite skilled at it.

Yes.

I've been obsessed with disguise

since I was a child.

It's hardly a respectable pursuit.

Zhixin, I hope you won't laugh at me.

Then can you imitate anyone?

I may not have many talents,

but for anyone I've met,

if I've heard them speak,

I can imitate them.

Just when I thought all hope was lost,

the solution fell right into my lap.

Zhixin, what do you mean by that?

Now,

although Bing agreed to invite

Shui Xianhong to Phoenix Mountain,

we are still worried.

He's too easily swayed.

He can't resist

Shui Xianhong's sweet talk.

Here's my plan.

You'll secretly follow Bing to Humu Peak.

If he fails to persuade Shui Xianhong,

after he leaves,

you'll disguise yourself as him,

deliver this letter to Shui Xianhong,

and persuade her

to go to Phoenix Mountain.

If you succeed,

I'll reward you generously.

Zhi...

Zhixin,

do I have to disguise myself as Bing

to deliver the letter?

Is there no other way?

The fate of us Chu Tian Seven,

the survival of Dongting Sect,

and the future of the entire martial world

all depend on this one mission.

Manxi, your journey

bears great importance.

If you succeed,

not only will we Chu Tian Seven

and Dongting Sect be grateful to you,

but the entire martial world

will thank you.

Okay, I'll go to Humu Peak.

Hong.

It's me.

Are you there?

Hong.

I'm sorry for what happened the other day.

I jumped to conclusions

before getting to the bottom of things.

Could you forgive me?

Hong,

if you don't want to see me,

I'll come back later.

Hong.

Han Bing.

Didn't you say you wanted to k*ll me?

Didn't you say I was unforgivable?

Why are you suddenly so humble today?

I really doubt if you're Han Bing.

Hong, I know

I said some harsh things the other day.

Now I feel I really shouldn't have.

I just hope you can forgive me.

Can we go inside and talk this through?

No.

Back then, you insulted me

in every possible way.

Now you pretend to be nice

with a few kind words.

Do you think that will erase all my hatred

toward you?

Hong, if words aren't spoken,

things won't be made clear.

I don't expect you to wipe the slate clean

and forgive me.

I just hope we can talk it through

and clear the air.

You don't mean a word of this.

I can swear to God.

I don't buy the oaths

of you Chu Tian Seven.

Just leave.

All right then.

What can I do to make you believe me?

I will

never believe your words.

Hong.

Hong.

Hong.

Hong.

You can refuse to believe me,

but please let me finish

what I have to say.

I don't want to hear you speak.

I don't want to see you either.

Fine. I'll leave after I finish talking,

and I promise I'll never bother you again.

Hong.

After I returned to Dongting Sect,

I explained everything to my buddies.

I told them

that you had no grudge

against Pengju and Shixuan

and never even met them,

so you had no reason to poison them.

Also,

you never left Humu Peak

during these days,

so how could you have harmed them?

After hearing this,

they thought it made sense,

so they hope

you can go to Phoenix Mountain

and explain everything in front

of Pengju's and Shixuan's families.

If you do that,

they will not only apologize to you,

but also,

but they will also approve

of our marriage.

You're lying to me again.

I'm not lying.

Hongmei, if I were lying to you,

I'd k*ll myself

before you even lift a finger.

Fine.

If you're not willing to go,

then I'll go by myself

and explain everything.

I'm leaving.

Bing!

Is there anything else?

Bing,

I don't want you to go.

I don't want to leave you.

I don't want to leave you either.

Bing.

Listen.

Listen to what?

Someone is singing.

I don't hear anything.

Bing.

In our Aluo tribe, there's a legend.

On a full moon night,

if two lovers stay together,

and someone sings a moon song softly

to the end,

then those two lovers

will be together forever.

Listen.

It's the wind.

The wind is singing the moon song.

I hear it now.

If I were Bing,

I'd leave the martial world behind

for good

and spend the rest of my life with Hong.

[Grace Like Clouds and Water]

[Grace Like Clouds and Water]

[Grace Like Clouds and Water]

Hong.

I'm leaving.

Your concern makes sense,

I'll go to Phoenix Mountain alone

to explain everything clearly.

Wait for me here.

I'll come back for you afterward.

Bing.

[To Hong]

Bing, why are you up?

Are you leaving?

Hong.

I've made up my mind.

I'm going back to the Dongting Sect

to inform my senior brothers,

and then head to Phoenix Mountain alone.

I'm leaving.

I don't want you to leave.

Hong.

I have to go back

to tell my senior brothers

about my decision.

Bing.

What happened?

Have you caught a cold?

No,

I'm fine.

Why are you trembling all over?

I'm not trembling.

I'm not trembling.

I just lost my balance.

Well, it's getting late.

I have to hurry back.

Wait, Bing.

Bing.

Is there anything else?

When you go to Phoenix Mountain,

what if they give you trouble?

If they give me trouble,

I'll part ways with them

and go with you deep into the mountains

to live the life you want.

Alright then.

You may go.

Hong.

I'm still worried.

What are you worried about?

I'm afraid I'm no match for

my senior brothers.

What if...

You want me to go with you

to Phoenix Mountain, right?

No.

Don't go there.

I'm afraid I might not return.

If so, please do not blame me.

Bing, don't worry.

I'll go to Phoenix Mountain

in three days.

If they dare bully you,

I won't let them get away with it.

No.

You're no match for them.

Bing, do you remember

the Phoenix Rebirth Skill

we practiced together?

Yes.

I remember it.

As long as we join forces,

we can turn 20% power into 40%,

and 40% power into 80%.

Your senior brothers

are absolutely no match for us.

You are right.

They're definitely no match for us.

I'll leave now.

Bing,

take care.

You too.

I'm leaving now.

Go ahead.

This time,

things have truly

taken an unexpected turn.

Zhixin,

you're really capable.

This morning,

Bing told me

that witch couldn't go

to Phoenix Mountain anymore,

so we couldn't avenge Pengju and Shixuan.

My heart

sank immediately.

But now,

that witch has taken the bait.

Zhixin,

what method did you actually use?

I can't tell you now.

I'll tell you afterward.

Jiangjian,

we must keep this from Bing.

Otherwise, he'll ruin our plan.

If we want to keep it from Bing,

we can't let him go to Phoenix Mountain.

What's your plan?

I have an idea.

Tell us quickly.

Hong, don't go!

Wait for me. I'll come back for you.

Jiangjian,

I feel guilty

toward Bing for what we did.

To avenge Pengju and Shixuan,

we have no other choice.

Let's go. I'll explain to Bing afterward.

[Supreme Loyalty and Valor]

[Phoenix Hall]

Bing!

Bing?

Han Bing?

Bing!

I can't let her go in.

Bing!

[Phoenix Hall]

Bing.

[Phoenix Hall]

[Phoenix Hall]

Han Bing!

Who's playing tricks here?

Show yourself!

Han Bing!

Chu Tian Seven,

you are so despicable

that you even use such dirty tricks.

How disgraceful!

Shui Xianhong, stop searching.

This secret passage has only one entrance.

You're doomed.

Who are you?

The one who can help you escape.

I don't believe you.

Let Han Bing come out.

Where did that coward run off to?

It hurts to be betrayed

by your love, right?

Bing never wants to see you again.

If you want to leave this secret passage,

you have to beg me.

Who are you?

You don't need to know who I am.

Just agree to my demands,

and I'll let you go.

I've known even if you don't tell me.

Pengju and Shixuan of the Chu Tian Seven

have been k*lled.

I can recognize

Jiangjian and Xiutang's voices.

You are Yan Liuxia

or Feng Zhixin.

Yan Liuxia has a hot temper

and isn't capable of such schemes.

You must be Feng Zhixin.

Miss Shui, you're very clever.

I am indeed Feng Zhixin.

As long as you hand

over the "Xiaoyao Scripture",

I'll let you go.

You are not the leader of Chu Tian Seven.

Your word doesn't count.

Pengju and Shixuan have passed away.

Jiangjian is now the Boss.

The order to make you

hand over the "Xiaoyao Scripture"

came from Jiangjian.

I don't believe you.

Let Han Bing come out,

and I'll give you the "Xiaoyao Scripture".

Shui Xianhong.

Stalling for time is useless.

I know you have

the "Xiaoyao Scripture" on you.

Hand it over now.

It isn't on me.

But as long as you let me out,

I'll definitely give you the book.

Shui Xianhong,

don't fancy yourself clever.

I've been to Humu Peak.

The "Xiaoyao Scripture" wasn't

at your residence.

It must be on you.

Give it to me now,

or this extraordinary book

will be buried with you.

Don't try to scare me.

Let me tell you, Feng Zhixin.

A mere secret tunnel

cannot trap me.

Shui Xianhong.

You're too arrogant.

Now that you refuse to cooperate,

this secret passage will be your tomb.

What a pity!

Such a beauty

will perish in flames

and turn to ashes.

What are you doing?

Let me out!

Let me out now!

Why did you lie to me?

Zhixin,

why are you here?

Bing.

Liuxia wanted you to rest well

at the Dongting Sect.

Why did you disregard his kindness?

Zhixin, I was just about to ask you.

Why did you all deceive me

and leave me alone at the Dongting Sect?

You should ask Liuxia about this.

It was his idea.

Zhixin, please open the door.

Jiangjian has promised me

that he won't blame Shui Xianhong

as long as she explains

everything clearly.

He'll even apologize to her.

Bing, we didn't want to k*ll her,

but she made a scene at Phoenix Stage,

asked us to admit that we framed her,

and even tried to poison us.

We had no choice

but to take such measures.

That's not true.

Shui Xianhong wouldn't do that.

If you don't believe me,

go ask other senior brothers

and hear their statements.

Zhixin, this fire is merciless!

Please open the door.

Let me see her just once

and get the truth from her directly.

If what you say is true,

you do not need to act,

I'll k*ll her myself. Isn't that enough?

I'll k*ll you all sooner or later!

Let me out!

Bing,

I fear you won't be able

to harm her once you see her,

and she'll k*ll us all later.

So you won't let me see her?

I'm afraid you're bewitched

and will set a bear loose in the woods.

For the witch,

you dare fight against me?

Zhixin, I just want to ask her

a few questions face to face.

Fire!

Put out the fire!

[Supreme Loyalty and Valor]

Help! There's a fire!

Put out the fire!

Help! Fire!

Han Bing, so this was your plan all along.

To save this witch,

you even set fire to the main hall.

Zhixin, I didn't start the fire.

Appearances can be deceptive.

Han Bing, you are a disgrace to

the Chu Tian Seven.

Zhixin, justice will prevail.

The truth will come to light eventually.

Forgive me.

Han Bing.

Stop putting on an act.

This was all your arrangement.

Zhixin!

Hong!

Hong!

Hong!

Hong!

Hong!

Hong!

It's me, Han Bing!

Hong!

Hong, don't leave!

Don't come any closer!

Hong!

My face is ruined.

I can't face anyone anymore.

- Hong, it is all my fault.

- Stop it!

If you come one step closer,

I'll k*ll myself right in front of you.

Why?

Why did you save me?

I hate you!

Hong!

I didn't expect you would come,

so...

Stop it!

Let me tell you.

You will be

punished by karma for what you did.

None of you will die peacefully.

Hong!

Hong!

[Han Bing has been waiting for

Shui Xianhong at the Dongting Sector, ]

[hoping to see her again]

[and explain the misunderstanding.

Time passes.]

[But until Han Bing's hair turned gray, ]

[Shui Xianhong never showed up.]
