Part LXXXVI: Buddist Slash

We return to Villains’ Valley, there’s some more stuff to do there.

The doctor for the Kashgar Horse gang quest is here.

s5P5LlQ.jpg


We need to give him 20,000 gold to help Horse gang.

ywrYNZg.jpg


There are more weirdos around, but nothing quest related for now.

RiVrWbL.jpg


USQFfhb.jpg


Finishing the quest in Kashgar we get another item for the Drunken hermit.

qLpXc68.jpg


Bringing grape wine and luminous cup to Drunken hermit, there’s an event IF Gu has also mastered the Flaming blade.

HKpwBf8.jpg
As long as you like it! I know that my debt to you is more than this.

hlnUekQ.jpg
Good! *grunt* Good wine! I don’t have anything but this score! Here you are!

HKpwBf8.jpg
Is this… “Tide Sound of the Blue Sea” of Celestial Melody? Where did you get it?

hlnUekQ.jpg
She gambled on it drinking with me, and lost it to me as a wager.

HKpwBf8.jpg
Wager? Celestial Melody? I remember that Master Celestial Melody never touches a drop of drink…

hlnUekQ.jpg
Hehehe, like I have just taught you! Qin, chess, calligraphy and paiting, all these go with wine. Of course it can also make people drunk.

The score is another skill for Xiao Fu.

blu4RX2.jpg


HKpwBf8.jpg
I understand. You drink the wine but Celestial Melody is drunk with the joy of music.

hlnUekQ.jpg
Hahaha! You are worth teaching.

hlnUekQ.jpg
What a pity…

HKpwBf8.jpg
Pity?

hlnUekQ.jpg
The iced grape wine tastes much mellower. What a pity there are no ice cubes here.

As soon as ice is mentioned Wuxia Zi shows up.

tsi522t.jpg


4GxYWI1.jpg


HKpwBf8.jpg
Master.

hlnUekQ.jpg
Haha! There you are, Wuxia Zi. Come on, ice this wine for me, use your Cold Judgment of Death.

4Rpgg04.jpg
Xuan, I am jealous now.

HKpwBf8.jpg
Master, I will find better wine for you next time.

4Rpgg04.jpg
Heh! I was just kidding. Give me that wine, drunkard.

YIL6NnR.jpg


S2SihD1.jpg


hlnUekQ.jpg
Your Judgment of Death is really good. Come on, let’s drink!

0LcF8xL.jpg


phDaLpQ.jpg


Seeing Wuxia Zi’s move awakens something in Gu.

jjcOT1J.jpg


yJWgZNy.jpg


hlnUekQ.jpg
Something is not right!

4Rpgg04.jpg
Xuan, are you alright!

HKpwBf8.jpg
Master, I… hurt… coldness… I… can’t hold it anymore!

zU0xEbR.jpg


4Rpgg04.jpg
This is…!!

hlnUekQ.jpg
Wuxia Zi, isn’t this your Judgment of Death?

4Rpgg04.jpg
And plus a power vortex, increasing the power of the Judgment of Death… Xuan, you are a genius!

HKpwBf8.jpg
I… it hurts, master…

hlnUekQ.jpg
We need to help him right now!

4Rpgg04.jpg
Xuan, calm the energy. I’ll help you.

Wuxia Zi needs to subdue Gu which is easy for him to do. He has hexameridian fingersword which he can dual strike after using the drunken fist.

ngIrMqB.jpg


pZMzF1N.jpg


YnUqfke.jpg


Ss9lobc.jpg


HKpwBf8.jpg
Thank you, Master, I am better now.

4Rpgg04.jpg
Xuan, this is amazing. I can’t believe you can understand the secret of Six Yang Zhang of Mount Tianshan and Slice of Life. More than that, you added Flaming Blade to it.

4Rpgg04.jpg
Let’s call it Ice and Fire Slice of Life. I am going to tell everyone this good news, hehehe.

This “Buddhist Slash” is the equal of hexameridian fingersword.

Part LXXXVII: Ghosts of Tsushima

With Taya in the party we can now finally set sail.

lkrs3KY.jpg


B99IVXC.jpg


kSUPGHP.jpg


0F0nHUn.png
Celestial Lady!?

K6kLgfN.jpg
(Taya is beautiful and has a distinct temperament. But she is not the Celestial Lady at all. His imagination is so rich. No wonder…)

w3vJ2Hx.jpg
I’m not the Celestial Lady. My name is Taya and I am a friend of them. I have heard of your experiences and it maybe has something to do with my people. I am here to explain.

0F0nHUn.png
Ah! You are… the partner of those red-hairs? Although your hair colour is different, your skin is also pale and your eyeballs are green! You are a ghost soldier too… did you come to seize me? Help… help me!

wwpybif.jpg
Stop it, Tang Mu! Don’t force me to kick your ass! This girl is a living soul! Have you ever heard of ghosts in broad daylight?

0F0nHUn.png
She… she is really not a ghost?

wwpybif.jpg
Of course! Hey, everything hinges on you, Taya! He is so stubborn.

w3vJ2Hx.jpg
People are only afraid of things they aren’t familiar with. After we are acquainted with each other your fear will dissipate. Will you listen to me?

0F0nHUn.png
I... I will.

w3vJ2Hx.jpg
You said that the ship was full of miasm and smoke and felt that your body was not your own. I think that was because they were burning marijuana. They wanted to use it to relieve your pain and make it easier to save you.

w3vJ2Hx.jpg
However, you would lose your senses after inhaling marijuana. In addition, you bled too much and had never seen foreigners before. Therefore you regard us as ghost soldiers. As for the ones without hair, they were missionaries just like the monks in China.

0F0nHUn.png
What about the person… crucified on the crossed stake?

w3vJ2Hx.jpg
That’s Jesus, the son of the God we worship.

wwpybif.jpg
Wow, you are so violent that you crucified the son of God on a stake! We can’t do this here, or we would all be dead!

w3vJ2Hx.jpg
You are wrong. Jesus was sent by God to save the people. And the crossed stake represents that the son of God is willing to suffer hardships for the common people. It is just like the spirit of Buddhism.

0F0nHUn.png
So… what I experienced was real? I haven’t gone mad?

w3vJ2Hx.jpg
Yes, your mental health is very good. You could persist until now after experiencing such significant misfortune. Undoubtedly, you are the strongest I have ever seen.

0F0nHUn.png
Hahaha… I haven’t gone mad! However, the villagers don’t believe me. It’s useless.

K6kLgfN.jpg
If we let Taya explain everything to the villagers, they should believe Old Tang.

HKpwBf8.jpg
Indeed, Taya’s appearance is the best proof.

wwpybif.jpg
In this case, you should pull yourself together, Old Tang.

0F0nHUn.png
I’m a cripple and would be a burden at sea…

wwpybif.jpg
Did you give up the dream of roaming the sea? It’s not your fault to lose your courage after all this. But have you also forgotten to avenge your son?

0F0nHUn.png


wwpybif.jpg
Sharks ate your son and our friends are raging on the sea! Do you want to look on indifferently? Are you still the Old Tang we have known?

wwpybif.jpg
Damn it, I’m a bit of a boor! I will regard you as my friend if you return to the ship today! If you still give yourself up as hopeless, I will break ties with you and think of you as dead.

0F0nHUn.png
… You can leave now.

wwpybif.jpg
You!!!

HKpwBf8.jpg
Just leave him alone, Shi Yi. We will explain it for you, Old Tang. See you!

Old Tang shows up later anyway.

vD8X7dk.jpg


zXwW7hm.jpg


K6kLgfN.jpg
We’ve done what we can. The rest is up to Old Tang now.

wwpybif.jpg
He’s bound to come.

K6kLgfN.jpg
Oh? How can you be so sure?

sSBLVww.jpg
The courage and uprightness of a man.

HKpwBf8.jpg
Here comes Old Tang.

5bhBkn3.jpg


0F0nHUn.png
Some kids dare to lecture me. A few years have made you different now.

wwpybif.jpg
Hahaha! Back in childhood, your fists really hurt me. Now I’m grown up and it feels really good!

0F0nHUn.png
I’ve wasted a few years or you wouldn’t have a chance. Soon you’ll relive the memories of childhood.

wwpybif.jpg
Hah, looking forward to it.

0F0nHUn.png
About Xiong Tianba…

wwpybif.jpg
Old Tang, don’t worry about him. I’ll get him out of the prison. But right this moment, we must escort the princess overseas, please help us!

0F0nHUn.png
No problem! I also have my own business. I will catch the shark and avenge my son and brothers!

wwpybif.jpg
This is the Old Tang I know!

9xcoN9p.jpg
The big guy of Sea Shark Clan also has merits.

0F0nHUn.png
Fortunately, the ship I prepared for my son is still here. Built with the finest wood, the ship can cross Blackwater Strait. I need some preparations so when you’re ready go to West Ferry.

usxXdjZ.jpg


YKhnJer.jpg


After setting sail there is time for some quality time.

ZtHBKaC.jpg


HKpwBf8.jpg
Princess, the wind is too strong, you should go inside.

p7WH95B.jpg


CbYNdKY.jpg


9sJ2gqS.jpg
I was a tomboy when I was a little girl. All teachers in the village said I had talents… if I could have practiced martial arts since childhood like you, you would never beat me.

HKpwBf8.jpg
Heh heh. You do have the spirit of a martial woman. Shame you didn’t take up the sword, otherwise I bet you would be a great Xia.

9sJ2gqS.jpg
Looks like you do know how to make a girl smile. So is it too late for me to practice now?

HKpwBf8.jpg
Kind of…

9sJ2gqS.jpg
Oh? Then it is a shame…

A sudden attack ruins the moment.

Tptb96W.jpg


tIrDmQW.jpg


pNY3qyU.jpg


We’re being attacked by neenjas.

ArlzMQK.jpg


"We'll kill all these assholes!”

sSBLVww.jpg
Ahh! Stop blabbing!! Nobody can understand you! Damn pirates, use your sword not your mouth!

K6kLgfN.jpg
Looks like they are with Black Necro…

HKpwBf8.jpg
Princess, the sea grows restless, please stand back. Just wait a moment, it will be over soon.

6a3wDXJ.jpg


0BJHwXN.jpg


There was a little surprise prepared for the neenjas.

pHJqlpN.jpg


”What happened?”

EmBlbAR.jpg


NAvxg4i.jpg


The Wapanese are finished.

Dxxit1z.jpg


wwpybif.jpg
And your Thunder Hall’s sea mines! Such power yet so tiny… tsk, even better than out Water Dragon Thunder Bomb…

9xcoN9p.jpg
What? Don’t you dare steal our bombs. We are rivals, I’m just working with you for Xiaoyao Valley!

wwpybif.jpg
Damn girl! I was being polite. What’s wrong with you?

K6kLgfN.jpg
Alright, alright, we just won a big battle. We should celebrate, not fight each other.

HKpwBf8.jpg
It’s all thanks to Ziling. It was her idea to let Shi place the water mines under their ships. But they know our tricks now, so we need to be more careful from now on.

sSBLVww.jpg
They can come as they please. I will kill every single one of them!

9xcoN9p.jpg
Exactly, I am not satisfied yet!

K6kLgfN.jpg
Gu, these two… not only their personalities… even their faces look alike, just like twins…

HKpwBf8.jpg
Yeah…

Part LXXXVIII: the Virgin Chad

We have some free time on the ship before visiting the Princess.

t1VykkS.jpg


There’s a small task to find 7 chickens hidden around the ship.

1p6RcGD.jpg


al9bJ4Q.jpg


The reward isn’t worth it, though, some internal style that’s not for us.

fxXi0lV.jpg


There’s also a task to clear the ship off neenja stowaways.

68GXNIA.jpg


zARsnVf.jpg


aDLbP2F.jpg


The reward for this is great: a Thunder cuirass.

NFYFXKC.jpg


qQEXzEq.jpg


After these two small tasks it is time for quality time with the Princess.

aGmIBYD.jpg


94j5Z3O.jpg


HKpwBf8.jpg
It’s me, princess.

9sJ2gqS.jpg


9sJ2gqS.jpg
Gu, come in.

xt5Ltbc.jpg


Gu encounters naked womyn for the very first time.

aZu55Rq.jpg


0gU9o4H.gif


KW0aBpo.jpg


9sJ2gqS.jpg
Please don’t go.

HKpwBf8.jpg
No… this is not good for your reputation…

9sJ2gqS.jpg
No… please stay. I have something to say.

HKpwBf8.jpg
No. If you want me to stay, please put on your clothes first.

9sJ2gqS.jpg
You thought I was a harlot?

HKpwBf8.jpg
No… I never thought so.

9sJ2gqS.jpg
Come here. I want you to take a good look at… the tattoo on my back.

HKpwBf8.jpg
…!!

HKpwBf8.jpg
… The Grand Sivasutrani, everyone is fighting for?

9sJ2gqS.jpg
Yes. I am about to marry Black Necro. If you don’t memorize this, my people’s holy spell… will be lost forever.

9sJ2gqS.jpg
I can feel it, you have a kind heart… I hope you can memorize it. I believe you can make the best use of it.

HKpwBf8.jpg
Why… me? Ziling is much smarter than I am, Guardian Qin is also a good woman… why not pass it on to them? It is way too improper, I’m sorry.

9sJ2gqS.jpg


9sJ2gqS.jpg
Gu, only you can do it, please grant my wish.

9sJ2gqS.jpg
Will you decline my final request? Or do I need to order you to do it, as a princess?

HKpwBf8.jpg
Alright then.

H7xXYP1.jpg


0gU9o4H.gif


HKpwBf8.jpg
I promise you, as long as I am alive, Grand Sivasutrani will never be used for an evil purpose.

9sJ2gqS.jpg
I know… I believe you will… that’s why I give the Grand Sivasutrani to you…

9sJ2gqS.jpg
My Grand Sivasutrani… I was taken from my parents when I was a child, being raised in the temple as “Saintess”… I couldn’t even have the freedom to walk by my own will.

9sJ2gqS.jpg
After that, Maurya Empire was destroyed by Black Necro… that’s when I first me the one who would treat me as a common girl, my adopted father.

9sJ2gqS.jpg
Life was free when I was in the house of Duke Mu. No need to be treated differently by anyone… but the only reason I had my freedom is because my people were slaughtered… how ironic…

9sJ2gqS.jpg
My father… he was just spoiling me, loving me and never cared if I was some Saintess… all he cared about was my happiness…

9sJ2gqS.jpg
But… that father… the one who treated me so well… was killed… because of me… I am an ill omen… everyone around me is killed by me… one way or another…

The answers here don’t really matter.

DCNtOZ3.jpg


HKpwBf8.jpg
You are… a strong, kind and brave girl. It is the world who put misfortune on your family and your friends. It is not your fault.

HKpwBf8.jpg
I shouldn’t stay here… you should rest… goodbye.

F1I8lKq.jpg


0gU9o4H.gif


If this were a *good* Wapanese game, Gu would already have put his dink inside every female party member.

ekAtDPd.jpg


HKpwBf8.jpg
Ji…

sSBLVww.jpg
Last time I saw you with that face was when you lost your satchel after returning from Young Heroes Contest.

HKpwBf8.jpg
Heh heh. My mother made that for me… and you asked Xiangyun about how to sew and made a new one for me. I kept carrying it wherever I go.

sSBLVww.jpg
Tsk! That was one hell of a satchel, I was just doing that for fun. By the way, that shit is too ugly, you should just throw it away.

HKpwBf8.jpg
No, I will not throw it away.

sSBLVww.jpg
Tsk. What happened? I saw you went into the princess’s cabin…

HKpwBf8.jpg
I…

Part LXXXIX: Black Necro

It’s finally time to meet Black Necro.

ahh9eLl.jpg


TRR3eZR.jpg


CI8ev4F.jpg


WJSOoPd.jpg


CjJpwDG.jpg


9sJ2gqS.jpg
Thank you… for the ride. I will walk on my own path from here… take care…

HKpwBf8.jpg


nMxjiif.png
You did well. What do you desire? Gold? Agate? Women? Just say the word and you will get it.

sSBLVww.jpg
I don’t think you can give us what we want.

nMxjiif.png
Interesting. Everything on and around this East Sea is mine. Don’t be so cocky, I advise you.

sSBLVww.jpg
Okay then: I want your head!

The devs take the time to take the piss out of animu.

zFaOub9.jpg


Nkdpt6U.jpg


9sJ2gqS.jpg
No, Jing!

nMxjiif.png
Heh heh. They did well for taking you to me, I will not quarrel with them. Leave now. Consider your lives as the gift of your endeavor.

K6kLgfN.jpg
Gu, this is the last chance… I couldn’t bear the thought of leaving her with this demon! Why… why her. No!

sSBLVww.jpg
Brother, the enemy is right in front of us, I will not leave so easily.

9sJ2gqS.jpg
You… just go, GO!

nMxjiif.png
My patience has limits. Don’t cross the line or this black sea will be your grave.

HKpwBf8.jpg


K6kLgfN.jpg
Gu!

9sJ2gqS.jpg
Please, dear husband, don’t hurt them. Just let them leave.

The indecisive cuckold-to-be finally makes up his mind.

U8VjgF7.jpg


9sJ2gqS.jpg
What… did you say!

nMxjiif.png
Oh?

HKpwBf8.jpg
Princess… no, Mu. You are not alone, you don’t have to face this by yourself. You have us.

9sJ2gqS.jpg
…!!

sSBLVww.jpg
Alright, I was waiting for you to say it.

K6kLgfN.jpg
Good one, Gu!

nMxjiif.png
Do you have any idea of what your ignorance and insolence will cause?

HKpwBf8.jpg
Being the enemy of Black Necro is not a clever thing to do.

nMxjiif.png
Why do you seek your demise so eagerly?

HKpwBf8.jpg
I will never allow injustice and unfairness to stand.

9sJ2gqS.jpg
*sobs*

nMxjiif.png
Fine, if you wish to die, so be it then.

Vrz7MBV.jpg


CQxbJKk.jpg


dElD5lG.jpg


We start this battle with a big, fat thunder bomb.

R1mly77.jpg


wmGSfwv.jpg


Black Necro is on the aft deck as a faggy hidden weapons user.

8DA8HU1.jpg


When his minions are gone it is easy to surround him but he pulls the typical trick of healing to full health and summoning reinforcements out of thin air.

TvmsQtK.jpg


8JYrAtc.jpg


160Eidg.jpg


The reinforcements don’t matter with Hongshang and Shi Yi still at the deck to deal with them.

pBE7Xl8.jpg


ZeoBR9v.jpg


LMP65pg.jpg


OC249XI.jpg


In the end we lose in cutscene anyway.

xSBEc3q.jpg


cfTnrlt.jpg


K6kLgfN.jpg
Mu, what are you doing!

sSBLVww.jpg
Step aside! We are helping you!

HKpwBf8.jpg


This happens when you don’t give them the D.

9sJ2gqS.jpg
You don’t understand! The power of Black Necro is not just this. When the Black Grave assassins arrive, all of you will die for nothing!

nMxjiif.png
You know about my assassins? Heh hehe, looks like you have done your homework. Now I like you even more.

9sJ2gqS.jpg
… (It was your Black Grave assassins who destroyed my Maurya Empire.)

9sJ2gqS.jpg
Besides, this… is between him and I. I don’t want you in it. He is my husband, you can’t touch him!

HKpwBf8.jpg
Mu, you…!!

sSBLVww.jpg
After all this fighting, if you don’t let us kill him now, he will kill us later! Even you will be hurt!

9sJ2gqS.jpg
I heard that Black Necro is the master of mind… so you would never do anything that would be bad for business, am I right?

nMxjiif.png
Yes. Killing these dirty dogs will do nothing good for me and killing you… no, I don’t have the heart for it.

9sJ2gqS.jpg
So you are saying… you will ignore them and just let them go?

nMxjiif.png
Ha ha ha, why not? Even though their ambush has hurt my men. But that is nothing compared to what I can get!

nMxjiif.png
And because of this, I now know you really care for me. So letting them go is the better choice here.

9sJ2gqS.jpg
Thank you, dear husband.

K6kLgfN.jpg
Mu…

sSBLVww.jpg
Damn… damn!!

9sJ2gqS.jpg
Go now!

HKpwBf8.jpg
...

9sJ2gqS.jpg
Gu Yuexuan, I’m begging you!

Gu is forced to leave after hitting the mast in cuck’s rage.

3bWqOc5.jpg


HKpwBf8.jpg
Let’s go.

87BALiw.jpg


nMxjiif.png
You are scared, my lady, please rest. Take the lady into her chamber.

Black Necro orders Gu and Co’s death anyway.

MClSt9J.jpg


dP3JhP0.jpg


sSBLVww.jpg
Heh! Sending pursuing ships after us! That lying piece of shit!

K6kLgfN.jpg
So many ships… he wants to kill us once and for all.

2houKVz.jpg
Looks like today is the day I die. Goddammit, I will bring a couple of those ships with me even I have to die!

We are saved by the Imperial navy.

Nc1plQt.jpg


2houKVz.jpg

sIpB7u1.jpg


dX2pjAz.jpg


Mo2azoq.jpg


2houKVz.jpg
Hahaha, good for you, Qi! That’s my man!

9xcoN9p.jpg
Ahh! Is that the Imperial Court’s finest, General Qi?

HKpwBf8.jpg
…!?

72AhEot.png
Exactly, Black Necro is in alliance with us. By law, I can’t declare war on him.

72AhEot.png
But our treaty also states that he will not hunt our people by force. He broke the treaty and hence must face his punishment.

72AhEot.png
Retreat now, or you will face the full force of our Empire’s navy.

The Wapanese rats are sent scurrying.

RwQRxqX.jpg


72AhEot.png
I was just doing my job. It was our job to escort the princess, but you did it for us.

72AhEot.png
Truth be told, I am hoping one day the Imperial Court will declare war on this vermin so I can destroy the Black Grave once and for all. But… treaty by marriage? Humpf! You went head on with Black Necro, you got more guts than those cowards at court.

2houKVz.jpg
I respect that.

72AhEot.png
Shi Yi, you are still under charge. Watch your mouth, insulting the Imperial Court is breaking the law!

2houKVz.jpg
Bastard! Whatever you say, I will prove the innocence of Sea Shark Clan. Speaking of which, I am outlawed by the Empire, are you going to arrest me?

72AhEot.png
That is not my job. Others will take you in once you come ashore.

2houKVz.jpg
Haha, how kind you are. Gu, you heard what he said, I am still not a free man. So I need to run again.

HKpwBf8.jpg
Where are you going?

2houKVz.jpg
I have made contact with my clan. We will meet on an island in the outer sea of Fu Zhou. After that, we will go to Hangzhou and plan our next move. If you want to find me, go to Hangzhou Inn.

HKpwBf8.jpg
Okay.

72AhEot.png
I heard nothing.

Back on land, there is some unexpected bad news.

Nz1gUUL.jpg


xwm1GLa.jpg


c5G6KRg.png
What? Princess Mu passed away?

c5G6KRg.png
Who told you? It must be rumors.

c5G6KRg.png
The healer of Master Luo told me. People all call Master Luo a traitor behind his back due to his close relationship with Black Necro, so the intel should be solid. It’s said that the princess stabbed Black Necro to death in the nuptial chamber.

c5G6KRg.png
Really? The devil died at the hands of a woman. But if Black Necro is dead, how could the princess…?

c5G6KRg.png
It really makes people feel sorry for the princess! It’s said that henchmen caught her after Black Necro died.

c5G6KRg.png
And then?

c5G6KRg.png
Then… *sigh* We know the rest. What a great woman, she was willing to sacrifice her own life to get rid of the Black Necro.

c5G6KRg.png
*sigh* What a sad story… perhaps she lost the will to live after the tragedy at the house of Duke Mu. So she was willing to take upon herself a suicide mission.

c5G6KRg.png
Rumor has it that Black Necro possessed evidence of Japanese daimyo’s wrongdoings. So with the support of those high officials, he got the best military equipment and vessels.

c5G6KRg.png
Hearing the death of Black Necro, the threatened officials must be dancing with joy right now.

Indeed! Without their support, soon those Japanese pirates will be in a state of disunity. And General Qi will eliminate them all to the utmost.

Thanks to… Princess Mu! *sigh* What a poor girl…

What have… I done…

sSBLVww.jpg
You did what you had to do.

HKpwBf8.jpg
Ji, sometimes I admire you. If I had courage like you… if I had insisted on not letting her go in the first place…

sSBLVww.jpg
Tch, you’re not the only one to make decisions like this.

HKpwBf8.jpg


sSBLVww.jpg
Let’s duel.

HKpwBf8.jpg
I’m not… in the mood.

sSBLVww.jpg
Oh? If Black Necro were here, he wouldn’t care for your mood.

HKpwBf8.jpg
Don’t mention that name!!

sSBLVww.jpg
Then use your fists to shut me up! Take this!

Shinji is not supposed to win here, but comes close enough.

I’m… upset.

Nobody expected what happened. You think we two feel at ease?

HKpwBf8.jpg


sSBLVww.jpg
Isn’t it comfortable to let it all out?

HKpwBf8.jpg


sSBLVww.jpg
I have no idea what to say! You know me, not much of a talking person… tch!

Part XCI: Return to Villains’ Valley

I lost part XC. We went into Gaocang Relic, saved Yaksha who killed Chitcan.

1sWNXZ3.jpg


CxpKAWD.jpg


FdPoUJB.jpg

Leaving Gaocang Relic, outside we are accosted by You Jin. He’s really getting annoying.

YCyRNnl.jpg


sSBLVww.jpg
Bah! It’s you again.

C64HLBW.jpg


K6kLgfN.jpg
Don’t be ridiculous, now who’s not telling right from wrong? You cannot just arrest someone to be your scapegoat. We won’t tell you if we knew where Sea Shark Clan went, let alone the fact that we actually don’t know.

HKpwBf8.jpg
Ziling is right. There are still many doubts about this matter. I hope you can handle it, You Jin.

afeGHFf.jpg
My only duty is to arrest you… and it is the government’s business to tell right from wrong. If it is true Sea Shark Clan committed no crimes… their innocent will be declared.

afeGHFf.jpg
When Shi Yi was escaping his due punishment, you covered for him. Therefore, you should have been punished as if you had committed the same crime. Considering it wasn’t intentional, I won’t be hard on you if you just surrender.

K6kLgfN.jpg
You are such an unreasonable man and it’s impossible to talk sense with you! Save your words, Gu.

sSBLVww.jpg
So let’s fight. Do you think we are afraid of you?

HKpwBf8.jpg
If you insist to go this way, I will have to offend you.

afeGHFf.jpg
You are too obsessive. Take them!

We get help from Yaksha here, but it’s not really needed.

Rcahl70.jpg


afeGHFf.jpg
!!?

sSBLVww.jpg
You? We don’t need your help.

WfbDURa.jpg
I don’t owe anyone anything. It seems that you little children make quite a lot of trouble.

afeGHFf.jpg
Wicked girl of Cult of Tianlong!! I can’t believe you even go along with Cult of Tianlong in their devil deeds, Gu Yuexuan.

HKpwBf8.jpg


Feng Qingxia is among the Imperials… that’s the help we get for helping his sister.

QZ4EKfW.jpg


As usual the mooks are very weak and soon Feng Qingxia and You Jin are all alone and can be easily picked off.

QAQXvCH.jpg


w1pj9fm.jpg


u1WO2Ws.jpg


rBHHjXC.jpg


After dealing with You Jin we are back at Villains’ Valley.

9Nnsv85.jpg


HKpwBf8.jpg
Thanks for your help, Guardian.

WfbDURa.jpg
Don’t thank me, I wasn’t going to help you. People will think you got something to do with the witch now… heh heh.

WfbDURa.jpg
Jing, don’t make that serious face all the time… heh heh.

sSBLVww.jpg
How dare you!

Pv2Aip7.jpg


K6kLgfN.jpg
…humpf, wrench.

We witness Yaksha getting a message before she leaves.

znde3I3.jpg


WfbDURa.jpg
What did you say!

DrWjkZu.jpg


HKpwBf8.jpg
I just heard they were talking about Sura Palace?

K6kLgfN.jpg
Whatever, Cult of Tianlong is bad news, we should leave it alone this time.

K6kLgfN.jpg
(Humpf, I don’t wanna see this woman anyway.)

HKpwBf8.jpg


In Villains’ Valley we can now pick up a quest to help a sick crocodile. But we don’t have anyone in the party yet that can help.

eqfTZgz.jpg


TLVMyct.jpg


The guy near the well now also has a quest.

f6T04VU.jpg


HKpwBf8.jpg
We are from Xiaoyao Valley and we are here looking into something for our master.

DQ5xVUY.jpg
Everybody here has their own difficulties, yet most of them are evil, you should leave here!

HKpwBf8.jpg
Thanks for reminding us.

sSBLVww.jpg
Hey! You don’t look like a villain, why are you here?

DQ5xVUY.jpg
You are funny, I am here because I am a villain.

sSBLVww.jpg


K6kLgfN.jpg
Oh? I would really like to hear what you have done.

DQ5xVUY.jpg


HKpwBf8.jpg
Ziling!

HKpwBf8.jpg
Sorry for that, we didn’t intend to intrude on your privacy.

DQ5xVUY.jpg
Hahahahaha! This is Villains’ Valley, you are worse than the little girl acting like this.

sSBLVww.jpg
Tsk! Say it or not.

DQ5xVUY.jpg
No harm in telling you guys, what’s done is done. I, Li Wujing, dare to act and dare to bear the responsibility, there’s nothing I can’t talk about.

DQ5xVUY.jpg
I was the Commander of Xixia and my duty was to protect the Empress… but I fell in love with the Empress eventually.

K6kLgfN.jpg
You… have slept with the Empress? Then why are you here?

DQ5xVUY.jpg
It was finally unmasked, the Emperor was so angry that he sent hundreds of men to kill me and I killed them all while escaping.

DQ5xVUY.jpg
Heh heh! Isn’t this the perfect place for people like me?

K6kLgfN.jpg
You have slaughtered so many people… yet you put it so lightly, no wonder you are in Villains’ Valley.

HKpwBf8.jpg


sSBLVww.jpg


DQ5xVUY.jpg
There’s no need to look at me like that, I don’t regret what I did.

DQ5xVUY.jpg
Now that you know my story, can you help me with one thing?

K6kLgfN.jpg
What can we do to help you considering that an army couldn’t stop you.

DQ5xVUY.jpg
The Emperor has been after me ever since and I have to hide here…

K6kLgfN.jpg
And… what about her?

DQ5xVUY.jpg
I don’t know, it all happened so suddenly that I haven’t met her ever since. I… miss her a lot.

DQ5xVUY.jpg
Before I got into Villains’ Valley I asked one of my trusted subordinates to inquire about her… we were supposed to meet at the city in the western region.

DQ5xVUY.jpg
But the laymen of the Emperor didn’t stop chasing me until I came here.

K6kLgfN.jpg
So you want us to help you find him?

DQ5xVUY.jpg
That’s right, can you?

HKpwBf8.jpg
Though I didn’t know about you and the Empress… but considering you miss her so much, we can help you with this.

DQ5xVUY.jpg
Thank you. That guy used to disguise as a merchant traveling between Central Chine and the western region. You take this jade pendant and he will know it’s me.

GFeSg45.jpg


We find the merchant in Kashgar.

zEZE0ke.jpg


K6kLgfN.jpg
Now that you recognize this Jade Pendant, you should know that we are here on someone’s request. We are here to ask where somebody is.

n2TVf96.png
Is Master Li alright?

HKpwBf8.jpg
He is in a safe place.

n2TVf96.png
Really… that’s good.

K6kLgfN.jpg
Do you have any news about the Empress?

n2TVf96.png
He cares about the Empress after all… *sigh*. That must be the doomed love of your Central China!

n2TVf96.png
The day when Master Li ran away, he heard that the Empress carved her face without saying anything when was questioned by the Emperor…

sSBLVww.jpg
!!!!

K6kLgfN.jpg
What are you talking about!?

n2TVf96.png
The Emperor was so angry that he put the Empress in a convent and had it guarded tightly. And he announced that she died from disease.

HKpwBf8.jpg


n2TVf96.png
I have been inquiring about Jingyun Convent several times, but the place where the Empress lived was guarded tightly. I haven’t seen the Empress even once.

We need Shui in the party here.

G2V8IFm.jpg


K6kLgfN.jpg
Shui, you have been training at Jingyun Convent, have you ever met someone who matched the description?

rQkwX4Z.jpg
I think maybe I knew this Empress…

K6kLgfN.jpg
That’s great, you really have seen her.

rQkwX4Z.jpg
That woman is mysterious and covered in veils all day long. I have talked to her several times. We became like friends, I knew she was special but never excepted her to be the Empress.

n2TVf96.png
Normal people sure won’t get to know about this stuff.

rQkwX4Z.jpg
Now that the Empress is indeed in Jingyun Convent I shall write a letter and it will be surely delivered to the Empress.

K6kLgfN.jpg
Thank you, Shui.

rQkwX4Z.jpg
There are people in charge of delivering messages in the Eastern ferry. Let’s go there and there will surely be a quick reply.

We need to talk to a new face at Eastern ferry.

OL9Qrv8.jpg


rQkwX4Z.jpg
It’s alright, I know whom to give it to. Thank you.

blCq6Dw.png
Hehe! I’m not the only one who is worried. Look, the master wants you to have this to protect yourself.

rQkwX4Z.jpg
This is the Dark Silk Vest!? This is the treasure of the convent… the master…

blCq6Dw.png
Take it! The master said this is merely a worldly possession. Jingyun Convent doesn’t get involved in matters of Jianghu, so take this vest.

rQkwX4Z.jpg
But this is so valuable… how should I repay her?

blCq6Dw.png
You are repaying her if it is of use to you.

We got what we needed and return to Villains’ Valley.

VYavwNZ.jpg


uSlNikx.jpg


qePQVyX.jpg


rQkwX4Z.jpg
Yes. Here’s her letter to you.

DQ5xVUY.jpg
Thank you so much.

V2CSCIe.jpg


DQ5xVUY.jpg
How… silly… is she…

K6kLgfN.jpg


HKpwBf8.jpg
What are your plans?

DQ5xVUY.jpg
Thank you for brining me the message. I have decided to leave here and go find her.

K6kLgfN.jpg


DQ5xVUY.jpg
This blade has been with me through thick and thin, yet now... I am not qualified to use it. Take it as my appreciation!

HKpwBf8.jpg
We shall meet again someday.

The reward is a good blade.

t8dalCR.jpg


At Kashgar we can also finish the quest about the skeleton found in Gaocang Relic… but the reward is crap.

Part XCII: Jeanne D’Arc

We visit Shi Yi at Hangzhou tavern.

3EiI4HM.jpg


HKpwBf8.jpg
Master Shi.

K6kLgfN.jpg
Master Shi, do you have any progress on the plan to rescue your Grandmaster?

2houKVz.jpg
I just want to tell you about that. I thought about a method to save my brother!

HKpwBf8.jpg
You mean… intercepting the prisoner?

2houKVz.jpg
Humph! Those corrupt officials will never bring justice to our Grandmaster! So let’s not waste time.

2houKVz.jpg
Anyway, if we want to save the Grandmaster, we must start with Lenghua, Minister of Grand Court.

K6kLgfN.jpg
Why bring the Minister of Grand Court into this?

2houKVz.jpg
As you know, according to the rumors, Lenghua was replaced by somebody else.

K6kLgfN.jpg
Does it this have anything to do with saving the Grandmaster?

2houKVz.jpg
Please don’t interrupt me, I will get to the point. Recently, Lenghua has been cautious about everything… however, he did a lot of bad things before such as taking bribes and corruption.

K6kLgfN.jpg
Oh! I see, you will use the evidence to threaten him and rescue your Grandmaster.

2houKVz.jpg
Exactly!

sSBLVww.jpg
You are just stupid… Sea Shark Clan is famous for righteousness. How can you do such a dishonorable thing! It’s shameless.

2houKVz.jpg
How could you say that? Our Grandmaster will be decapitated in no time. We can’t rely on any officials to clear his name.

9xcoN9p.jpg
Your idea is terrible. We can’t rely on you for sure.

2houKVz.jpg
You are arguing with me again. Do you have any other ideas? Are you going to blow up the prison with the Thunder Bomb?

9xcoN9p.jpg
Don’t regard me as an idiot! (How did he know my thoughts?)

HKpwBf8.jpg
Ji, Master Shi just wants to save his Grandmaster. Besides, Lenghua was corrupt and took bribes a long time ago. It’s good for him if he released the Grandmaster.

sSBLVww.jpg
Bah! You always have reasons. Then we shall make good use of the evidence and get the Grandmaster out.

2houKVz.jpg
But… I don’t have the evidence yet…

sSBLVww.jpg
What? You want us to help you, but you don’t even have the evidence?

2houKVz.jpg
So that’s why I need your help!

sSBLVww.jpg
You are unreasonable!

HKpwBf8.jpg
You must know how to get the evidence, right?

2houKVz.jpg
You are clever! I found out that all the secret account books are in Duke Cheng’s hands.

K6kLgfN.jpg
Duke Cheng… you mean the sixth uncle of the Emperor? He has lived in isolation for a logn time. Why is he involved in this?

2houKVz.jpg
It’s very strange… Duke Cheng has helped us a lot recently. He left us alone even if we did the wrong thing… and he also sent us the news about Lenghua.

K6kLgfN.jpg
Why would he help outlaws like you? I don’t understand…

2houKVz.jpg
Hey, we never murder of rob anyone! It sounds like we are heinous villains according to what you said.

K6kLgfN.jpg
Oh, it’s my fault, I’m sorry. We’ve been through a lot, I know what you guys are like. And I also know that Sea Shark Clan never did or will ever do anything to harm people. It’s just that you look like bad people.

2houKVz.jpg
Yeah, we just look like scoundrels… wait a moment, that really doesn’t sound good, ok?

HKpwBf8.jpg
I think Duke Cheng has his own reasons for helping Sea Shark Clan. To figure it out, we might as well ask Duke Cheng himself.

2houKVz.jpg
That’s right. According to my report, Duke Cheng happens to reside in Qingcheng Sect.

HKpwBf8.jpg
If that is so, we should go to Qingcheng Sect and visit Duke Cheng.

2houKVz.jpg
Well done! What are we waiting for? I’m leaving now, let’s meet at the top of Mount Qingcheng.

While roaming a rumor pops up regarding Villains’ Valley. This is a trigger for a Taya related quest.

sSBLVww.jpg
Ague?

w3vJ2Hx.jpg
In your tongue, it is also called malaria. It is hard to cure, and killed many people before.

HKpwBf8.jpg
In this case, have the western doctors found the cure for malaria?

w3vJ2Hx.jpg
Of course. Western sailors found a kind of tree named cinchona. Grinding its bark and root can get the cure for malaria.

HKpwBf8.jpg
Where can we get this prescription?

w3vJ2Hx.jpg
There should be some in Petals. I need to return to the clan and bring the prescription to cure these people.

sSBLVww.jpg
Why do we cure them? They should be the villains.

w3vJ2Hx.jpg
Each villain has a chance to turn over a new leaf.

HKpwBf8.jpg
Taya is right. We can’t fold our hands and watch them die.

sSBLVww.jpg
Well, whatever you want.

A fight breaks out with suspicious villains.

ZGELpuC.jpg


q1DapTz.jpg


w3vJ2Hx.jpg
Thank God, there are still some healthy ones. Listen to me, those sick people…

IGUzSmQ.jpg


sSBLVww.jpg
What the… what are these guys talking about?

K6kLgfN.jpg
I heard there was a band of Semuren charging into Villains’ Valley only to retreat later. It seems they think Taya is one of those Semuren bandits.

w3vJ2Hx.jpg
No, NO! This is a plague. There is a cure for all of you.

IjbhYaM.jpg


dz8qZBz.jpg


They’re no challenge of course.

X5TyfQa.jpg


RrazbqL.jpg
!! No, they are the guys who killed Xincan.

9YzJwHG.jpg
What!! Hahaha, it seems Villains’ Valley is destined to perish.

sSBLVww.jpg
Can’t you listen to others?

w3vJ2Hx.jpg
Calm down! I have the prescription to cure the malaria here.

RrazbqL.jpg
You don’t need to pretend to be good! You witch, why would you save us?

w3vJ2Hx.jpg
Saving people needs no reason.

RrazbqL.jpg
I don’t believe that! There is no such a good thing in the world!

9YzJwHG.jpg
Even Witch-doctor Xue can’t help us, what can you do? Don’t fool us!

w3vJ2Hx.jpg
Anyway, take the patients to a cool place and take good care of them, until I get the prescription.

We return to Petals for the medicine.

cZ9VoCJ.jpg


w3vJ2Hx.jpg
Chief… is there any herbal quinine?

jpJiI0g.png
Why do you want that? Someone got ague?

w3vJ2Hx.jpg
Yes, quite a few…

a8oeXx6.jpg


jpJiI0g.png
Villains’ Valley!!!

K6kLgfN.jpg
(Oh no, did Taya forget that the chief once got captured there. Why would he save his own enemies?)

jpJiI0g.png
The lord says to save your fellow men. Take what you need. But our supply is not sufficient…

K6kLgfN.jpg
Why are you so generous?

sSBLVww.jpg
Are you Petals all saints?

HKpwBf8.jpg


jpJiI0g.png
Only God can judge. God teaches us to accept, regardless of one’s actions.

sSBLVww.jpg
I still can’t understand that.

w3vJ2Hx.jpg
(This herbal quinine is far from enough, what should I do?)

A new figure appears.

xKvkHTv.jpg


oV2hkL5.jpg


uRwVwKy.jpg


W6SrM5l.jpg


jpJiI0g.png
Cécile, Nico is back.

WfdMSZj.png
Oui.

sSBLVww.jpg
…! (This woman is very strong.)

w3vJ2Hx.jpg
Let me introduce you. This is Cécile, the best swordswoman of Petals.

w3vJ2Hx.jpg
Cécile, Gu Yuexuan, Jing Ji and Ziling of Xiayao Valley in Central Valley. They are my friends.

WfdMSZj.png
How do you do. I have heard quite a lot about you guys. Thanks you for everything you have done for Petals.

HKpwBf8.jpg
What we have done are just some mere errands.

tRqFfiY.jpg


w3vJ2Hx.jpg
I’m so sorry…

WfdMSZj.png
Anyway, if you want to buy herbal quinine, you must go to Kashgar. But the day is gone, you should rest and leave tomorrow.

At midnight there’s an event while Gu’s practicing.

HyEIqRd.jpg


ccjo2m2.jpg


U5vhYN1.jpg


WfdMSZj.png
Nonsense. I want to thank you for looking after the lady.

WfdMSZj.png
Time flies. Looking back… I was just a desperate young woman, with the lady infant on my back, fleeing from France to here to escape our political enemies… it’s been twenty years. To me, it’s just like yesterday.

HKpwBf8.jpg
Political enemies? Does that mean Lady Taya is…

WfdMSZj.png
She is the daughter of Zodia who is the Grand Marquis of France.

HKpwBf8.jpg
(It turns out Zodia and Taya are very important foreign figures…)

WfdMSZj.png
Taya isn’t aware of her past. To the lady, all she needs to know is that she is Taya of Petals. The sins of the past are ours to bear.

WfdMSZj.png
We have always been the protectors of the Grand Marquis. When we first came here, master Zodia once told me I need to be myself, no need to serve them anymore. But I just can’t leave the lady alone. The pure, beautiful lady I raised from the beginning.

HKpwBf8.jpg
Taya has the purest of hearts. Everyone around her just wants to help her.

WfdMSZj.png
Indeed.

ZaDQLF3.jpg


HKpwBf8.jpg
Nice sword.

WfdMSZj.png
This one is my family heirloom, forged by the best smith of France. I swore fidelity to the Marquis on this sword. Mr Gu, can you show me the martial arts of Central China?

HKpwBf8.jpg
As you wish.

u4goG4g.jpg


V0y9ctt.jpg


Cécile can be beaten though she will heal herself a lot. The damage reflect from Kongming Quan is useful here.

mLEvf11.jpg


HKpwBf8.jpg
Senior’s sword art is exquisite, different to Central China’s swordsmanship in many ways. I have learnt a lot.

WfdMSZj.png
Mr Gu, I have a request. If I may, that is.

HKpwBf8.jpg
Anything within my power.

WfdMSZj.png
Please be the knight of Lady Taya.

HKpwBf8.jpg
Are you saying…

WfdMSZj.png
In Europa, knights are the symbols of valor and loyalty. Every knight follows the path of chivalry, they are the embodiment of heroes. I know the lady relies on you, please be the knight of her heart.

HKpwBf8.jpg
I don’t know what to say. But all I know is that Taya is a very important friend to me and friends are supposed to help each other.

WfdMSZj.png
I see. Mr Gu, if you take the lady as your important friend, then… you should kiss her hand.

HKpwBf8.jpg
What do you mean?

WfdMSZj.png
Hand-kissing is our traditional custom to greet and show respect. Normally a man would perform this ritual for ladies. When performing this ritual, the performer needs to hold the lady’s one hand and then bow down and kiss the back of the lady’s hand slightly.

HKpwBf8.jpg
This *is* different to our custom. I’m afraid I can’t do that, please forgive me.

WfdMSZj.png
I went in over my head… please, don’t be troubled by tonight’s affair, Mr Gu. It’s late, you have a long journey ahead, rest now.

HKpwBf8.jpg
Thank you.

Next morning before leaving, Longfei reappears.

YL3l2mI.jpg


sCOxmY4.jpg


uqI9STt.jpg
Cé… Cécile?

WfdMSZj.png
Long time no see.

uqI9STt.jpg
Long time indeed. Where have you been?

WfdMSZj.png
I went back to Europa and negotiated with some guild to help Petals’ trading business. I heard about the business with the Black Robes and hurried back… how dare you!

uqI9STt.jpg
I put Taya in danger, I’m sorry.

WfdMSZj.png
!! How dare you…

w3vJ2Hx.jpg
Sister! Please don’t blame Nangong… I volunteered myself…

WfdMSZj.png
Since the lady is willing to plead, you are forgiven.

uqI9STt.jpg
You look older.

WfdMSZj.png
I have always wanted to tell you this: your beard looks way too ugly.

uqI9STt.jpg
Haha! You do have some balls!

K6kLgfN.jpg
(Nangong and Cécile… tsk tsk tsk.)

sSBLVww.jpg
*grunt*

WfdMSZj.png
Still no word of Devaraja?

uqI9STt.jpg
Yeah, it’s been a decade. I promise, once I find the Hierarch and rebuild the Cult of Tianlong, I will come back and marry you. This promise still counts.

WfdMSZj.png
Then, I shall be waiting for you still.

K6kLgfN.jpg
(Yeah… I thought so!)

w3vJ2Hx.jpg


For beating Cécile, we get another western pocked watch and an internal style.

In theory it's to a married lady or from a vassal to its lord, not for to single women.

In Kashgar we get the medicine in exchange for 10 wisdom fruit.

w3vJ2Hx.jpg
We finally get enough quinin… well, let’s return to Villains’ Valley immediately.

X6QotPi.jpg

Please… be quiet now, patients inside need peace.

K6kLgfN.jpg
Taya is a true savior.

sSBLVww.jpg
Tsk, I’m exhausted, being a doctor is hard labour.

K6kLgfN.jpg
That is good karma.

Unexpectedly Taya gets a promotion.

9mQaLDE.jpg


gFAmwOs.jpg
If not for Taya, we would all be dead by now. So once again, we need to choose a new boss.

gFAmwOs.jpg
If not for Taya, we would not be here. Taya is a better warrior than all of us together, so I think Taya should be the new boss!

mJuKdIO.jpg


sSBLVww.jpg
What the… her? Villains’ Valley boss?

K6kLgfN.jpg
The person with the kindest heart on earth, to be your boss? That is something to talk about.

w3vJ2Hx.jpg
…No!

It is God’s will to let me cure your ailment. Not… to be your valley master.

gFAmwOs.jpg
Valley Master, we shouldn’t have said that all of a sudden. I am sorry. Quiet, you lot. Valley Master says to let the patients rest, so be quiet now!

K6kLgfN.jpg
I hear you.

w3vJ2Hx.jpg
(What’s wrong with these guys…)

gFAmwOs.jpg
Valley Master, where are you going!

w3vJ2Hx.jpg
I’m going to harvest some herbs for replenishment. And I already told you I am not your Valley Master!

gFAmwOs.jpg
Aye aye, Valley Master! Valley Master is going to gather herbs, stand aside! Move!

The insidious burqa bitches have their own plans.

w3vJ2Hx.jpg
Thank you.

K6kLgfN.jpg
Taya, I’ll go with you too…

Ziling is distracted by Shinji.

c4F3GKG.jpg


K6kLgfN.jpg
But…

sSBLVww.jpg
We need help here!

w3vJ2Hx.jpg
It’s alright, Ziling. Gu and Ji are counting on you.

K6kLgfN.jpg
Fine.

Gu knows Taya is far too naieve in these matters.

C22enCY.jpg


K6kLgfN.jpg
She is gathering herbs right now.

HKpwBf8.jpg
Herb gathering? Alone?

K6kLgfN.jpg
Twin sisters Ye Sanniang are going with her. I… I am not sure about this…

HKpwBf8.jpg
…!! I’ll follow them.

Taya is attacked by the burqa bitches but Gu’s training allows her to survive.

w3vJ2Hx.jpg
Why?

UUwPDFk.png
Don’t be naive. We are villains of Villains’ Valley.

UUwPDFk.png
We wanted to be the boss for so long and you just came and snatched the seat from us. Remember, you did this to yourself.

UUwPDFk.png
Also, heh heh, we hate women more beautiful than us. Your pretty face would look good on our mirror.

w3vJ2Hx.jpg


Taya is saved by the Four Villains… or not.

MoHrqqD.jpg


94VWvA7.jpg


Ww4fETg.jpg
What did you just say? We are villains of Villains’ Valley? I bet you two only got seconds more to live.

usBb9fR.jpg
Now is the time to pay for all the mistresses you killed.

eDCKj4h.jpg
*hic*… whatever, get me more drinks now!

w3vJ2Hx.jpg
Who are you?

Ww4fETg.jpg
Alright, they’re all dead now. Finally, a winning bet. Heh heh, is the Semuren girl talking to us?

usBb9fR.jpg
Who else?

Ww4fETg.jpg
I bet you her Semuren blood is fake.

usBb9fR.jpg
You stupid? Look at her blonde hair and green eyes, all features of Semuren!

Ww4fETg.jpg
Then I’ll just pick all her golden hair and poke those emeralds out, then she won’t be Semuren anymore!

Mohx9QW.jpg
Shut the hell up! I heard this girl is the new Valley Master?

eDCKj4h.jpg
What!? Valley Master? Her? I can squeeze her little brain out with a single finger!

usBb9fR.jpg
Doesn’t matter anyway. We are no longer Villains’ Valley people. Let me teach her the way of the woman.

eDCKj4h.jpg
I wonder how she became the boss here.

w3vJ2Hx.jpg
I don’t want to be the boss and I can’t be the boss. You are looking for the wrong person.

Mohx9QW.jpg
What!? We have been fighting for that seat for so long and now you got to sit on it. Yet still you aren’t satisfied? You got balls, I gotta say.

eDCKj4h.jpg
If I say you are the Valley Master, you ARE Valley Master. Come and duel with me!

w3vJ2Hx.jpg
(What should I do? I can’t deal with these men on my own…)

w3vJ2Hx.jpg
(Gu…)

Taya is pushed into the damsel-in-distress role here but she can easily survive. She just needs to hold on for 6 turns.

2iiHagt.jpg


Wh9WsYa.jpg


As the battle goes on the Four Villains will get bored one after the other and leave… until only the Pervert remains.

bmeZoOB.jpg


kRsLpdk.jpg

Taya could technically easily beat this maggot but we are forced to stick to the script.

bkaSmdF.jpg


w3vJ2Hx.jpg
(I am sorry, I would rather die than be raped by villains.)

w3vJ2Hx.jpg
(Luckily, I could save everyone before my death… Gu, I am leaving. God bless you.)

euEQ4Ns.jpg


w3vJ2Hx.jpg
!!!!

usBb9fR.jpg
It is you again!! How many times do you want to disturb me!

The other three villains return to fight Gu.

eDCKj4h.jpg
!! I sensed the arrival of a master! Good timing, I am looking forward to fight you!

w3vJ2Hx.jpg
Gu… Gu! Am I dreaming? *sob*

HKpwBf8.jpg
It is OK, Taya, I am here.

Mohx9QW.jpg
You were so arrogant last time, I want to see what you really can do without your friends!

Gu needs to take on the Four Villains by himself.

wiJZjBq.jpg


It seems Gu starts this fight buffed as first Pervert gets one-shotted, and then the Gambler.

j7fTuEW.jpg


SPHa0dP.jpg


The other two take a bit more work. The Glutton has monstrous regeneration so you need to inflict an internal injury.

W2S9UfU.jpg


GbovrhH.jpg


ACG2WMf.jpg


eDCKj4h.jpg
This guy…

usBb9fR.jpg
So strong!

Ww4fETg.jpg
Fortunately, I didn’t bet on it this time…

HKpwBf8.jpg
After what you did to Taya, I won’t spare you!

w3vJ2Hx.jpg
Gu! That is enough! Let them go… I… I am fine.

HKpwBf8.jpg
Why are you always so kind? Think about what they did to you! Do you think kindness will always do good?! Wise up!

w3vJ2Hx.jpg
But, I just can’t stand to see others suffer!

HKpwBf8.jpg


w3vJ2Hx.jpg
Gu, I am sorry for making you worry…

After all this, a Tianlong Guardian teleports in.

6bNSrsl.jpg


HKpwBf8.jpg
!!!

We already know this twat is a one-trick pony with his poison attacks. After drinking a nectar wine he is no longer very dangerous at all.

6N3VZ6G.jpg


ng0m5Pb.jpg


In any case Gu only needs to hold out for a couple of turns.

sJZP3ZD.jpg


Dq4C6wf.jpg


TThhME3.jpg
I see you got better now.

HKpwBf8.jpg
So… you have joined Cult of Tianlong.

TThhME3.jpg
We got many admirers. Everybody loves the winner. Hahaha!

HKpwBf8.jpg


TThhME3.jpg
Your four losers… you have no place here. Get lost now!

eDCKj4h.jpg
Gu Yuexuan, we will meet again. Let’s go!

yzTZfIb.jpg


After all this, things are still not over.

vI5UsiR.jpg


w3vJ2Hx.jpg
Gu!! Are you alright? Your wounds…

HKpwBf8.jpg
That man was Mahiraga of the eight Tianlong Guardians, he was no simple man. My power was exhausted from battling those four. So… I got some inner wounds. *cough*

w3vJ2Hx.jpg
Let me help you.

HKpwBf8.jpg
I… I can’t walk now. Lady Taya, please… take me to the boulder there. Let me heal myself with inner force.

w3vJ2Hx.jpg
OK! Gu…

3SpDrHE.jpg


There’s more trouble at night.

TjUbvIZ.jpg


q4WefOJ.jpg


w3vJ2Hx.jpg
(What should I do… it’s been six hours since he started this healing ritual. What if wolf packs come here?)

0q5fa2c.jpg


w3vJ2Hx.jpg
(No…)

Ce4wCRW.jpg


w3vJ2Hx.jpg
Stop!!

w3vJ2Hx.jpg
I will not let you hurt him!

w3vJ2Hx.jpg
Gu, this time, I shall protect you.

Taya would easily be able to defend Gu, but to make her lose these wolves are buffed up the wazoo.

sZzX6K8.jpg


JBEZPyF.jpg


1aGIdyr.jpg


Gu is supposed to save Taya again.

vGjrZGZ.jpg


w3vJ2Hx.jpg
Gu… run away… these wolves… are fierce.

HKpwBf8.jpg
No, I won’t leave you behind.

The wolves now all lose their buffed status, there’s just a lot of them.

azYDUAN.jpg


LBCJUMW.jpg


HKpwBf8.jpg
(There are so much… will I really die here today?)

w3vJ2Hx.jpg
Gu, did I get you into trouble?

HKpwBf8.jpg
It is my fault.

w3vJ2Hx.jpg
If I can die with you, it is not too bad.

HKpwBf8.jpg
Taya…

In the end we are saved by the cavalry.

smZ1BSi.jpg


HKpwBf8.jpg
Ji!!

K6kLgfN.jpg
It was hard to find you… ah! Taya… you are hurt badly…

Next up we are back at Villains’ Valley.

vgijRQG.jpg


hqaxqDw.jpg


RbeUjIq.jpg


K6kLgfN.jpg
Taya… walk slowly, watch those stitches.

sSBLVww.jpg
We were worried about you.

HKpwBf8.jpg
Lady Taya.

w3vJ2Hx.jpg
Sorry to worry you.

K6kLgfN.jpg
What are you talking about? I should be the one to say sorry! I shouldn’t have let you go with those two wrenches alone…

w3vJ2Hx.jpg
Ziling, don’t blame yourself. I believed them. I don’t want you to lose your faith in human kindness because of this. It was just… bad luck. Look, I am fine now, right? God still looks upon me.

K6kLgfN.jpg
You…

sSBLVww.jpg
I don’t know whether you are the kindest or the silliest person I have ever met.

HKpwBf8.jpg
Ji.

K6kLgfN.jpg
These villains have been helping us to find you too, Taya. Do you want to say something to them?

vUMVLvq.jpg


jSMqAB5.jpg


w3vJ2Hx.jpg


K6kLgfN.jpg
I don’t think you can quit this job.

sSBLVww.jpg
With these clowns, no wonder she is gloomy all day.

HKpwBf8.jpg
I think her being Villains’ Valley boss is not a bad thing. If these villains can stop sinning out of respect for Taya, that is good for the world.

w3vJ2Hx.jpg
Gu…

HKpwBf8.jpg
Do you remember what I told you in the Star Tower?

w3vJ2Hx.jpg
Every word. You say the reason you took up martial arts was to protect others. But I am too weak, I can’t even protect myself.

HKpwBf8.jpg
You are the thing I need to protect now.

w3vJ2Hx.jpg
…!!

ZZShemP.jpg


HKpwBf8.jpg
Lady Taya.

w3vJ2Hx.jpg
Gu, I’m here.

Gu remembers Cécile’s words.

1KBon0X.jpg


K6kLgfN.jpg
(This is not Gu! He must be possessed by something! Where is the ritual water?)

sSBLVww.jpg
?? What, she got something on her hand?

bUhgrbm.jpg


NTjzfiV.jpg


K6kLgfN.jpg
Taya!

After all this, Taya gets one of the best skills in the entire game.

It’s time to get the business with Shi Yi over with.

We meet Duke Cheng at Qingcheng.

znqbIQ9.jpg


wwpybif.jpg
I’m Shi Yi… you’re Duke Cheng?

XVD58f4.jpg
Correct, I’m Duke Cheng. Deputy Shi, do you know the reason I was looking for you?

wwpybif.jpg
I have no idea! Probably… you want to be Emperor?

XVD58f4.jpg
Hehe… of course not. If I wanted to be Emperor, I wouldn’t have to wait until now.

K6kLgfN.jpg
Pleasure meeting you, Uncle.

XVD58f4.jpg
Um? Aren’t you Ziling? You’ve become pretty. Hehe, you perfectly take after your mother.

sSBLVww.jpg
You?!

HKpwBf8.jpg
Ziling, you know Duke Cheng?

K6kLgfN.jpg
Ouch…

XVD58f4.jpg
Don’t you know her mother is cousin of the Empress? Hahaha, seems you haven’t told them yet.

sSBLVww.jpg
What? Why didn’t Master never mention that before?

HKpwBf8.jpg
Ji, it’s her family affair. There’s no need for us to get to the bottom of it.

wwpybif.jpg
You turn out to be royalty!

K6kLgfN.jpg
Come on, Uncle. Let’s get down to business.

wwpybif.jpg
Right! Get to the point then.

XVD58f4.jpg
For thirteen years, I’ve been watching him practice policy. He came to the throne complacently… later with the purpose of consolidation of power… he issued the edict to decimate Prince Qin and his family…

XVD58f4.jpg
It’s a pity that the promising and virtuous Prince Qin just missed the opportunity and became the thorn in my nephew’s flesh… He devoted himself to the people but his whole family was wiped out in the end…

XVD58f4.jpg
The kid I used to care for and dote on now has become an opinionated and scheming emperor… in the end, he even suspects me.

XVD58f4.jpg
At that time I was frustrated and disappointed at the political situation. As he started to suspect me, I was glad to retire from public life and spend my time in Qingcheng.

XVD58f4.jpg
However after that, he made no attempt to make progress and even acts against the people’s will.

sSBLVww.jpg
Now that he turned out like this, you still take no further interest to interfere?

XVD58f4.jpg
He’s the Emperor now. Besides, I made a vow to his mother that I wouldn’t challenge the imperial rule as long as she’s alive.

sSBLVww.jpg
Then for what purpose did you seek us out?

XVD58f4.jpg
For rectification and support! I’m still a royal member. And if I report to the Emperor, those treacherous ministers will be trembling.

wwpybif.jpg
Your highness… politics have been in chaos for more than a decade, how will your report be useful?

XVD58f4.jpg
Of course I should get solid proof and intel. I’ll wait for the best opportunity and make it hard to refuse my requests.

wwpybif.jpg
Hell no! Duke Cheng, my brother can’t wait that long! The execution is just around the corner!

XVD58f4.jpg
That’s why I was looking for you. Sea Shark Clan was framed and I have proof of this to set Xiong Tianba free – the bribery ledger of Leng Hua.

XVD58f4.jpg
You can threaten Leng Hua with this ledger. To secure his official position, he won’t leak anything.

HKpwBf8.jpg
Please give us the ledger to save Master Xiong.

K6kLgfN.jpg
Uncle, please help us!

wwpybif.jpg
I’ll do anything as long as I can save my brother!

XVD58f4.jpg
Of course I’ll give you the ledger, but I have a trial for you first.

sSBLVww.jpg
Tch! You’re so womanly fussy!

HKpwBf8.jpg
Ji, mind your manners!

XVD58f4.jpg
Lad, I hope you won’t be like me when you’re at my age and in my position. But I’m risking a lot this time and have never met you guys before. A trial is necessary to assure mutual trust.

XVD58f4.jpg
Zi, I trust you, so you don’t need to undergo this trial.

K6kLgfN.jpg
Impossible. We’re all in this together.

XVD58f4.jpg
Alright. This is “Self-Genuineness Pellet”. If your wishes and pursuits are in accordance with your heart, then you won’t get hurt.

XVD58f4.jpg
If not… the pellet will make people hallucinate and even lose their minds… so what do you think?

K6kLgfN.jpg
…!!

sSBLVww.jpg
Everything I’ve done is according to my conscience. I have nothing to fear.

SCQFGfi.jpg


HKpwBf8.jpg
Your highness, is it okay now?

wwpybif.jpg
Sweet and sour, not bad. Do you have more?

sSBLVww.jpg
Hmm…!!

The little hedgehog gets sucked into a mirror match.

1Jb2ap6.jpg


K6kLgfN.jpg
What’s happening? Ji…

leXcuGH.jpg


xyeIK8M.jpg


ooSVaFL.jpg


Basically the fight is decided by whomever lands the first crit… with ‘Eye to Eye’ talent it leads to a neverending sequence of crits.

YDk8SCk.jpg


K6kLgfN.jpg
Uncle!! Save Ji!! Please!

HKpwBf8.jpg
Duke Cheng, why would he become like this? Please hand over the antidote!

XVD58f4.jpg
It’s not poison, how could I have the antidote? His seizure has stopped and perhaps he’ll come around after a while.

HKpwBf8.jpg
You!!

K6kLgfN.jpg
Ji, wake up! Stupid monkey… stinky monkey, wake up!

vvORRC9.jpg


HKpwBf8.jpg
Ji!!

K6kLgfN.jpg
You… you…

XVD58f4.jpg
Hehe… am I right?

sSBLVww.jpg


K6kLgfN.jpg
Why do you always have to make people worry? Such a stupid monkey.

sSBLVww.jpg
Stupid monkey? You…

HKpwBf8.jpg
Ji, glad to see you well.

sSBLVww.jpg
I’m fine now. Thank you all.

wwpybif.jpg
I’m really lucky… what happened to Ji really scared me!

2nktlgG.jpg


sSBLVww.jpg
Tch. Quit crying, lassie. I’m alive and well.

K6kLgfN.jpg
I’m not crying!

6ogIUHt.jpg


sSBLVww.jpg
Hey, keep your hands to yourself!

HKpwBf8.jpg
Duke Cheng, since we all passed your trial, can we have the ledger now?

XVD58f4.jpg
A promise is a promise. Here is the ledger recording all Leng Hua’s bribes. With the ledger, you’ll your wishes fulfilled.

wwpybif.jpg
Great! Thank you.

Leng Hua is in the antique shop in Luoyang.

3lHleyn.jpg


hweLUbw.jpg


zOdXFY2.jpg


K6kLgfN.jpg
We need a little help from you. Could you please release Grandmaster Xiong of Sea Shark Clan?

U5Sf7bt.png
Nonsense! He is the criminal who murdered Duke Mu! How can we release him?

K6kLgfN.jpg
Oh? But… I promise you will release him obediently when you see what we have.

hqorXqj.jpg


U5Sf7bt.png
You think you can threaten me with this outdated account book? Haha, what a joke!

U5Sf7bt.png
I’m Lord of Grand Court supervised by the Minister of Penalty. Without his agreement, you can do nothing.

HKpwBf8.jpg
He has nothing to fear. Maybe… we should change our plan.

sSBLVww.jpg
We are leaving just like this? Perhaps he is just pretending!

HKpwBf8.jpg
It can’t be. People say Leng Hua always plays the bully. He would be scared to death if this account book was a threat to him…

K6kLgfN.jpg
Fair enough…

K6kLgfN.jpg
We’ll keep it for now, Master Leng. I believe we’ll meet again in the future.

U5Sf7bt.png
Go, get out! Or I will call the guards! Humph, youngsters nowadays are all ignorant and foolish…

It seems this was all foreseen by Duke Cheng.

o5v3Br2.jpg


HKpwBf8.jpg
It is natural given he is a high ranking official. We may need to find another way.

tW5AAXu.jpg


HKpwBf8.jpg
You are…

sSBLVww.jpg
Critical affairs? Go back and tell him that crap account book is useless! Now there’s still nothing we can do about Leng Hua!

yNDEjO1.jpg


95M8I12.jpg


sSBLVww.jpg
What do you mean?

r1t2ok7.jpg
The order the Duke gave is “to make it hard for him to resist our request”… you will understand soon… rest assured, according to the Duke, no innocents may be harmed.

r1t2ok7.jpg
If you have questions, please ask the Duke personally. Now if you will excuse me, I have other errands to run.

sSBLVww.jpg
Really? Just wait here and do nothing?

HKpwBf8.jpg
There is no reason Duke Cheng would lie to us… but we cannot fully believe he will arrange everything well. While we are waiting for news, let’s continue our investigation in Luoyang.

sSBLVww.jpg
Really? Gu, you really believe that guy?

HKpwBf8.jpg
Not that… he just has no reason to deceive us.

K6kLgfN.jpg
Don’t be paranoid, we just have to be patient for a few days.

sSBLVww.jpg
Tch, I just cannot believe that weird old man.

After a few days Leng Hua indeed becomes cooperative.

dFvSMO9.jpg


ZhquskU.jpg


HKpwBf8.jpg
Lord Leng, what are you talking about?

U5Sf7bt.png
Aren’t you threatening me with Huan’er? You’re no saints! She is just a woman… unlike you guys!

sSBLVww.jpg
What are you talking about? How the hell are we threatening you?

U5Sf7bt.png
You murdered my loved one! And left her body on my bed! You are so stone-hearted… you just want me to take orders from you! Alright, I comply. Satisfied?

K6kLgfN.jpg
Wh-what…!!

HKpwBf8.jpg
No… we didn’t… (The secret envoy said no innocents would get hurt…)

HKpwBf8.jpg
Lord Leng, we will…

K6kLgfN.jpg
(If Leng Hu speaks the truth, then Duke Cheng is far too cruel… however, if we let the opportunity slip, saving Xiong Tianba is bound to fail.)

K6kLgfN.jpg
Lord Leng, you should have said so earlier, then we could have saved the trouble. Only one question: when can you release the Grandmaster of Sea Shark Clan?

HKpwBf8.jpg
Ziling, you…!

U5Sf7bt.png
Releasing him is easy… but an empty prison cell is ridiculous. An empty cell means the jailor would tell his superior and an investigation would swiftly follow.

K6kLgfN.jpg
Rest assured, we have it already figured out. You only tell us the exact release time.

U5Sf7bt.png
Humph! Meet me at Yamen after everything is properly arranged. Huan’er… *sigh* Poor Huan’er…

QEfcfgV.jpg


HKpwBf8.jpg
Duke Cheng turns out to be such a person! Ziling, since you already knew, why didn’t you tell us earlier?

K6kLgfN.jpg
No. Gu, I had no idea… God knows he would go as far as this… but if we didn’t grasp the chance, how could we make Leng Hua comply?

HKpwBf8.jpg
If we act like this, what’s the difference between us and villains?

sSBLVww.jpg


K6kLgfN.jpg
I…I…

HKpwBf8.jpg
Let’s return to Duke Cheng and get to the bottom of this. He’s a royal member, how could he act like a human life is not worth a straw! This is unacceptable!

Back at Qingcheng, Shinji gets into a fight again.

RUZnGC8.jpg


HKpwBf8.jpg
Duke Cheng, we want to ask you something.

XVD58f4.jpg
Is it about the concubine of Leng Hua?

sSBLVww.jpg
You killed her? A life for a life. You should pay for what you did.

K6kLgfN.jpg
Ji, don’t be impulsive!

wwpybif.jpg
Ah?? What are you talking about? What’s going on? Please scabbard your sword first…

P5x5bG8.jpg


OAiT860.jpg


EvZMHYN.jpg


RaNakCJ.jpg


5eLr9i4.jpg


XVD58f4.jpg
Hehe, calm down, young squire. I’ve already dispatched someone to deliver the message that no innocents will be hurt.

XVD58f4.jpg
Shangguan Yan, what message did you deliver?

r1t2ok7.jpg
Sorry, maybe it’s my incompetence that caused the misunderstanding.

HKpwBf8.jpg
Misunderstanding? Leng Hua told us firmly, you think he’s lying?

XVD58f4.jpg
Hehe, he even can’t recognize the appearance of his concubine. I ordered Luo Zhi to get a non-claimed female body from the mortuary. With a little work, it was put in the bedroom of Leng Hua. So out of fear, he will obey. And nobody gets hurt during all this.

K6kLgfN.jpg
Uncle, then what about the woman called Huan’er?

XVD58f4.jpg
Her? Leng Hua forced her to be his concubine. I faked her death so that she can get out of trouble… I don’t know about her well-being now and I have no intention to interfere.

sSBLVww.jpg
How can we know what you said is true or not?

XVD58f4.jpg
Making friends lies in genuineness. There’s no need for me to fake anything. You came along just to ask this?

HKpwBf8.jpg
Yes.

wwpybif.jpg
It all turns out a misunderstanding. I knew Duke Cheng wasn’t someone who commits such vicious crimes. Rest assured!

HKpwBf8.jpg
If so, forgive our rudeness.

XVD58f4.jpg
Hehe! Never thought a youngster could be so gallant. Rest assured, I won’t mind.

XVD58f4.jpg
As for Sea Shark Clan, I’ll help with the trial. But things will go south if Master Xiong stays in his cell too long… you’d better get him out as soon as possible.

wwpybif.jpg
Quite indeed, let’s hurry!

Beating the blue guy gave us another internal style.

We meet up with Shi Yi in Chengdu.

ZRKNUhA.jpg


wwpybif.jpg
This is Puyun, he will assist us with the rescue. We won’t get our brother out without him!

K6kLgfN.jpg
Do… do you want him to be the substitute? If he is recognized by someone, he’s as good as dead!

TlZbOaC.jpg


wwpybif.jpg
You have to stay in jail until we find evidence to prove the innocence of Sea Shark Clan.

HKpwBf8.jpg
It’s the only method now. We really cannot find another solution at present.

wwpybif.jpg
Don’t worry, Gu. It appears Duke Cheng is a reliable person. Besides, we’ve already found the majority of evidence. I will find Duke Cheng after our Grandmaster settles down and ask him to hear the case of Sea Shark Clan.

TJ2jUeQ.jpg


K6kLgfN.jpg
You’d better do as told if you want to keep your post.

The jail break happens completely off screen.

DTAh9Hq.jpg


wwpybif.jpg
You lost weight in the cell.

AtUOOzV.png
Indeed, look at me, now I’m as thin as a bamboo stick! The meals in prison really suck!

K6kLgfN.jpg
… (Bamboo stick? He’s kind of stocky with an imposing build. I wonder what he was like before prison.)

wwpybif.jpg
*sigh* Sorry for not getting you out sooner…

AtUOOzV.png
At least we’re alive. As long as I’m alive, one day Sea Shark Clan will make a comeback!

HKpwBf8.jpg
It is said Master Xiong is a valiant, tough man. To meet in the flesh, I’m really dazzled.

AtUOOzV.png
Friends of Xiaoyao Valley, I owe you a lot this time. Next time if Xiaoyao Valley is framed by the godddamned Imperial Court and Wuxia Zi ends up in jail, I’ll save him with al my strength, even if it costs my life.

sSBLVww.jpg
Bah! Don’t jinx it!

HKpwBf8.jpg
Hehe…

wwpybif.jpg
I have everything planned and scheduled, you’d better hide out at sea during these harsh times.

HKpwBf8.jpg
The whole East Sea is in turmoil right now, is it proper go out on sea right now?

OqkZUoy.jpg


sSBLVww.jpg
Feng Du suffers great losses, while Ao Guang enjoys a comfortable life at East Sea.

6FmFwO9.png
Think about it. Ao Guang is the only faction left at East Sea right now and the Imperial Court is greedy as a wolf. Would you let this chance go by if you were the Emperor? It would be a disaster if Ao Guang becomes the next Black Necro.

6FmFwO9.png
Allegedly the Imperial Court has already dispatched an ambassador to head for Branch of East Sea intending to enlist Ao Guang. If he defies, the accompanying cannon vessels will teach him a lesson.

It seems next up we need to meet with Ao Guang again.

e8udjlF.jpg


wwpybif.jpg
Lady Wei, we owe you a lot. As a royal member, your reputation would get stained and my appreciation is beyond words.

K6kLgfN.jpg
*sigh* Don’t mention me as royal member anymore!

Of course it’s You Jin again.

8YshSMS.jpg


gpNiECr.jpg
Let alone how many of our comrades were killed by you… let’s talk about our little sworn sister – Meng Po. Her death was so unfair and miserable. If not for the “Acquittal Period” issues by the Emperor… how could we lose so many comrades?

gpNiECr.jpg
As long as I’m here, you god-damned Imperials… will never have the chance to touch Feng Du!

XUJmsCL.jpg


afeGHFf.jpg
This shows that you are still a traitor… it would be unworthy of my position to make more concessions.

gpNiECr.jpg
Cut the crap!

afeGHFf.jpg
Man the war ship and bombard this place!

We are just in time to kick You Jin’s ass once again.

nc19DsH.jpg


GfsRm0X.jpg


HKpwBf8.jpg
What Lord Tang said is true. If the Imperial Court would be offering amnesty sincerely, they would not take such powerful gun ships with them… they want Ao Guang dead.

K6kLgfN.jpg
In accordance with the government’s way, they would rather kill him than give him a position and take precautions against a possible rebellion.

K6kLgfN.jpg
If it were up to me, I might kill him as well. In that way, the East Sea would no longer be in chaos. Yes… it’s the best way.

sSBLVww.jpg
You Jin is really intending to destroy Feng Du! Should we leave that alone?

HKpwBf8.jpg
This time You Jin is going too far. But if we turn against him publically, it will bring trouble to Xiaoyao Valley.

K6kLgfN.jpg
Our dealings with Sea Shark Clan have already caused complications enough.

HKpwBf8.jpg
Up to now, all Feng Du we met were unlike what we thought. Ao Guang may not be perfect in his character, he still deserves to be called a true hero!

HKpwBf8.jpg
Anyway, we are not getting rid of these accusations for the moment, why don’t we cause even more trouble so that the government comes after us only?

sSBLVww.jpg
I seldom hear you say that, so let’s just get a big fight!

There’s a big fight against You Jin and some Imperials with cannons.

jfwJwjB.jpg


js9kb08.jpg


The cannons have big range and must be destroyed first.

DKVOnSV.jpg


Once You Jin is on his own he gets piled on and clobbered.

csPWpHD.jpg


v9xoKVz.jpg


qW4W4BC.jpg


Ao Guang becomes a party member afterward.

byR12ya.jpg


gpNiECr.jpg
This time… thank you so much.

K6kLgfN.jpg
Humph! To my surprise, you just said “thanks” to us! I just can’t believe it. I have to see in what direction the sun sets later.

gpNiECr.jpg
Damn you! We people from Feng Du are always able to tell right from wrong. Besides, I really intended to recruit you for our Branch of East Sea.

sSBLVww.jpg
Be a thief like you? You wish!

gpNiECr.jpg
Forget about it. You bastard, your tongue is so virulent. I still don’t get it, why did you help me?

HKpwBf8.jpg
Mainly because many old friends have suffered a lot during this acquittal period… we don’t agree on the Imperial Court’s actions. More importantly, you are not a villain.

gpNiECr.jpg
Oh… I guess you are joking. I conquer the whole sea, burning, slaughtering and plundering. Yet you think I’m not a villain?

HKpwBf8.jpg
But we’ve never heard Ao Guang hurting the innocent. On the contrary, we heard about Branch of East Sea keeping fishermen safe from Black Necro. So you are not utterly devoid of conscience.

gpNiECr.jpg
It was only on a whim. I intended to catch all fishermen to make the men my slaves and the women prostitutes. Humph!

HKpwBf8.jpg
You wouldn’t do that!

gpNiECr.jpg
Bah! Fortunately you are not one of my men, speaking with you is a waste of breath.

HKpwBf8.jpg
Where there is a will, there is hope, Skipper Ao. There are too many suspects during this acquittal period, I hope you can give me a hand.

gpNiECr.jpg
Since Feng Du is involved and many comrades were killed because of this, I would be ashamed to be Feng Du if I don’t take the chance to figure this all out. Alright, I will be allied with you for the moment.

K6kLgfN.jpg
Well… (It seems we have another troublesome ally.)

Ao Guang comes a bit late but he’s okay.

fGUCzvi.jpg


With Ao Guang in the party you can get a special armor in Villains’ Valley.

It seems happy now.

Part XCVI: Asura’s Wrath

After the Villains’ Valley events we gained access to Sura Palace but it’s a “no men allowed” kind of place.

YPQPFGO.jpg


0GaXGig.jpg


HKpwBf8.jpg
No way! We won’t let you take such risks! Sura Palace has been mysterious all the time. No one knows what going on there. I don’t intend to get to know it!

K6kLgfN.jpg
I’m just one girl, I guess they won’t go too far to hurt me or something like that.

sSBLVww.jpg
Don’t try to be brave, girl. We should go together.

K6kLgfN.jpg
Does this mean you are worried about me, little Jing?

sSBLVww.jpg
I… I’m not worried about you! It’s just in case we will need to rescue you.

K6kLgfN.jpg
Hihi!

HKpwBf8.jpg
Stop bickering now! Let’s go.

Inside is another familiar face from Tale of Wuxia.

Lo6AElj.jpg


K6kLgfN.jpg
*whispers* Sura Palace does not seem to be attacked.

sSBLVww.jpg
Tut! I thought we could finally track down these people.

HKpwBf8.jpg
I am Gu Yuexuan from Xiaoyao Valley, this is Jing Ji and Wei Ziling from Castle Wei. We are here to find the Grand Princess Asura. Would you please announce us, miss?

mkP43dS.png
Master will not meet with strangers. Leave, please.

HKpwBf8.jpg
I do have very important things to tell your master. Please.

1JmHPBj.jpg


sSBLVww.jpg
We do have important business. Are we doing this meeting or not?

mkP43dS.png
Is this the way you of Xiaoyao Valley treat people? If you don’t leave now, then be prepared for the pain.

K6kLgfN.jpg
… (Why did they suddenly get all strange when they heard the words Grand Princess?)

HKpwBf8.jpg
Ji! My lady, my brother says what he thinks but we are not trying to insult the Grand Princess. Actually we came here for the a…

mkP43dS.png
No more words, those who want to barge in…

erzKyeb.jpg


sSBLVww.jpg
Wenches!

mkP43dS.png
Die!

The only enemy of note is Ren Qingxuan. But they’re just a bunch of gurls on their period, how hard can it be.

u1e75fa.jpg


CZCEoBv.jpg


RMTrl5r.jpg


KwOioiP.jpg


sSBLVww.jpg
Will you listen to us now?

mkP43dS.png
I believe you are not thieves who want to gain profit in these times of turmoil.

K6kLgfN.jpg
Lady, if I may ask, is your Grand Princess not here right now?

mkP43dS.png


mkP43dS.png
Grand Princess… she received a letter the other day… and left the palace alone. It’s been a while now and we still got no word from her.

K6kLgfN.jpg
I wonder if this has anything to do with the acquittal period?

HKpwBf8.jpg
We can’t make any assumptions yet. For now, Sura Palace seems different from the fall of String-Sword Manor.

HKpwBf8.jpg
With all due respect, lady, is there really nobody in the whole palace who knows the whereabouts of the Grand Princess?

i2NJXT0.png
Qingxuan, can we trust these men?

mkP43dS.png
Grand Princess is still nowhere to be found, I’m willing to take a shot. Besides, if these guys do have vile intentions, they will know the wrath of Sura Palace.

sSBLVww.jpg
Bold words.

mkP43dS.png
Master Gu, Grand Princess is never fond of other people meddling in her business, so…

HKpwBf8.jpg
So nobody knows what was in the letter, right?

sSBLVww.jpg
Tsk! The trail ends again…

mkP43dS.png


i2NJXT0.png
Does it have anything to do with that man... Grand Princess only acts like this if…

K6kLgfN.jpg
What man?

i2NJXT0.png
Well…

HKpwBf8.jpg
Please, this might be an important lead.

mkP43dS.png
Grand Princess and the Garuda Guardian of Tianlong Ren Tianxiang might know each other from before. A few years ago, an enemy used the name of Garuda and lured the Grand Princess into a death trap. But the Grand Princess wiped out the entire sect instead.

K6kLgfN.jpg
It seems… your Grand Princess must have some kind of affair with this Garuda figure.

mkP43dS.png
I shouldn’t gossip about the master.

sSBLVww.jpg
Sounds like old lovers to me! No wonder Sura Palace has this no men rule.

K6kLgfN.jpg
If it was really because of Garuda… he must’ve broken her heart really badly.

sSBLVww.jpg
Hey! You don’t know whether it really was Garuda’s fault!

K6kLgfN.jpg
It must be…

HKpwBf8.jpg
Ji, Ziling, that’s enough.

HKpwBf8.jpg
My apologies, they don’t really mean that. They’re just really straightforward types.

mkP43dS.png


HKpwBf8.jpg
Thank you for your advice. I will investigate this event and bring answers to your doubt. Please take heed of the things I told you and be careful, these are bad times.

mkP43dS.png
Thanks for your advice, we are counting on you. Farewell and good luck, we have direct orders from the Grand Princess to guard this place for now.

We can find Garuda with Taya around.

8KBhaxK.jpg


sSBLVww.jpg
That’s easy for you to say. Do you have any idea where we should go?

w3vJ2Hx.jpg
Guardian Garuda… might…

HKpwBf8.jpg
Lady Taya, do you know where he is?

w3vJ2Hx.jpg
I do, some of my tribe really admire that man.

sSBLVww.jpg
Admire? How so?

w3vJ2Hx.jpg
Garuda is the only person alive who can tame the Golden Wing. Some people believe he is the incarnation of a great deity.

K6kLgfN.jpg
Sounds like an important person.

w3vJ2Hx.jpg
And more so, he helped us when our tribe was lost in the desert.

HKpwBf8.jpg
If so, let’s go to the western region as soon as possible. Thank you, lady Taya.

w3vJ2Hx.jpg
*blushes* I hope I’ve been helpful.

K6kLgfN.jpg
(Seems Taya likes Gu… but people of Xiaoyao Valley are slow and foolish in relationships… I feel sorry for her!)

In Kashgar someone marks the location of Willow Manor on our map.

sHwDB50.jpg


Yaksha pops up again too when we try to leave.

YWCjTrW.jpg


HKpwBf8.jpg
You must be here for the missing master of Sura Palace.

WfbDURa.jpg
Haha. Where are you going now?

sSBLVww.jpg
That’s none of your business.

WfbDURa.jpg
You are more interesting than Gu Yuexuan, Jing Ji.

K6kLgfN.jpg
What the hell do you want to do?

WfbDURa.jpg
You’d better leave now if you want to go to Willow Manor. It has nothing to do with you.

WfbDURa.jpg
The one who apprehended Asura just wanted to lure Ren Tianxiang.

K6kLgfN.jpg
It seems that you are in on the secret… right, you are all Guardians of the Cult of Tianlong.

WfbDURa.jpg
You are right. But it has nothing to do with you.

HKpwBf8.jpg
Thanks for the warning. But we have promised to save the master of Sura Palace.

WfbDURa.jpg
You are stubborn. Do whatever you like, it is none of my business.

In Willow Manor those poison bitches we fought once are back.

Tsk tsk tsk! What a sad person you are.

Ahh! That reminds me, I only broke one of your legs yesterday, it seems only fair that I break your other leg today so you wouldn’t be able to seek your revenge.

oMuxGjD.png
Ah!!!!

ZEQlhJH.jpg


9UetMO8.jpg
But… if Ren Tianxiang doesn’t come, I need to find new ways of torture. I hope you can hold out.

oqkbluJ.jpg


K6kLgfN.jpg
Such cruelty… you witch, how dare you! Using other people as traps… damn you!

9UetMO8.jpg
Hmm? You imbeciles trying to ruin my work again. It looks like I underestimated you guys.

Shui was looking for this bitch.

UzkXhwd.jpg


9UetMO8.jpg
What are you talking about? E’mei is not my sect anymore. No wonder you imbeciles managed to barge in, E’mei is helping you.

rQkwX4Z.jpg
How did you become… this? How did you become… so cruel?

9UetMO8.jpg
Whatever… you might as well be the appetizer before the main course.

Shui starts this fight debuffed, which makes sense.

We win the battle but nearly lose in cutscene again anyway.

NgPK6KL.jpg


sSBLVww.jpg
Tsk! No more excuses.

rQkwX4Z.jpg
Master once said the skills in the aberrant copy of Nine Yin Manual aren’t complete. If you practice them, there are consequences.

9UetMO8.jpg
Humpf! I got Asura now, Nine Yin Manual should be easy to get hold of.

sSBLVww.jpg
You are pretty mouthy for a loser.

9UetMO8.jpg
That’s right… I lost, but you still can’t win.

XRd0Euj.jpg


K6kLgfN.jpg
You… lowlife scum!

rQkwX4Z.jpg
Please… do right, for once!

HKpwBf8.jpg
We shouldn’t do any rash moves, or we might hurt the Grand Princess in the process…

Unexpectedly that lady who gave us the Lady internal style shows up.

wgQOdvc.jpg


HKpwBf8.jpg
!!

mS39Jdq.jpg


sSBLVww.jpg
Where did this one come from?

HKpwBf8.jpg
You are…!

t7pukCi.png
Release her. If you want Nine Yin Manual… I am the one you should seek.

CayxT2b.jpg


t7pukCi.png
I am sorry, sister, you suffered because of me…

oMuxGjD.png
…You! Yang Yufeng!! Why are you still alive, why?! Why do you show yourself when you should be long gone now!!

t7pukCi.png


oMuxGjD.png
Leave!! I don’t want you to be my rescuer, leave!!

t7pukCi.png
…I…

9UetMO8.jpg
Haha! You are in no place to decide, Yang Yufeng of Ancient Tomb Sect. Now this is a surprise. I was worrying that if Ren Tianxiang didn’t have the right Nine Yin Manual, I would have to use him to lure you out…

9UetMO8.jpg
And surprisingly, Fan Weili, you still love Ren Tianxiang… this is rich, Ren Tianxiang didn’t show up, instead I met you rivals in love.

t7pukCi.png
No, he must have been stopped by something.

oMuxGjD.png
Enough! Enough, I said!

K6kLgfN.jpg


t7pukCi.png
I can end all of this now, they shouldn’t be dragged into this event. Release Fan and these guys and I will give you the Nine Yin Manual.

9UetMO8.jpg
Fine then!

PK1x4mL.jpg


9UetMO8.jpg
Hehe… haha! Such naivety… you really think I would just release you all?

Another unexpected guest shuts the annoying bitch up for good.

Hahaha! Thanks to you, after so many years of fruitless search I finally got the Nine Yin Manual!

t7pukCi.png
This is… Heart Crusher of Nine Yin Manual?!

HKpwBf8.jpg
Who are you and why did you kill her?

11lZOC9.png
Me? You do not need to know MY name. Because you are all going to die here.

HKpwBf8.jpg
What have you done?

11lZOC9.png
No need to worry, you will know soon enough.

sSBLVww.jpg
You can’t escape!

Somehow the entire place got rigged with explosives.

cXN0f74.jpg


K6kLgfN.jpg
You are right, let’s grab Asura first… she is badly wounded.

sSBLVww.jpg
Tsk!! I know.

7V9ucui.jpg


oMuxGjD.png
Stop, stop! I came here to kill Ren Tianxiang. I hate him, and you too. I hate you!!!

t7pukCi.png
Fan…

There’s a rumbling sound at that moment.

sSBLVww.jpg
What’s going?!

K6kLgfN.jpg
It’s gunpowder… this place is going to explode!

HKpwBf8.jpg
GOOOOO!!!!

The group can’t cut Asura’s shackles and is forced to leave her behind.

U4ixUsO.jpg


BWsEF1p.jpg


sSBLVww.jpg
Damn!! So close!!

HKpwBf8.jpg
You tried your best, Ji.

t7pukCi.png
Why… it shouldn’t be like this, I’m sorry… I’m sorry.

K6kLgfN.jpg
Yang, don’t… be sad. Nobody wanted this to happen…

t7pukCi.png
I… I’m the one who should have died.

t7pukCi.png
Why am I still alive, while she… She should be with Ren now, she should be…

K6kLgfN.jpg
Yang… sometimes things are inevitable, what happened between Asura and Ren Tianxiang is their own to bear, it is not your fault.

HKpwBf8.jpg
Ziling is right, you shouldn’t think everything is your fault.

t7pukCi.png
No, you don’t understand, it’s me… it’s all because of me. If I had been more careful, he wouldn’t have found my trail and leave Cult of Tianlong… leave Asura. I should have known, such a stubborn man…

K6kLgfN.jpg
Yang, aren’t you… a stubborn woman also?

t7pukCi.png
Me?

K6kLgfN.jpg
What you said in the mansion… I think Ren Tianxiang really doesn’t care about your looks. Why would you… avoid him?

t7pukCi.png


t7pukCi.png
Hmm… you are right… three… stubborn souls…

K6kLgfN.jpg
Yang…

HKpwBf8.jpg
Ji, Ziling, come one we should let Sura Palace know about this.

kO9WBlb.jpg


Everyone thinks Asura is dead but in fact Garuda managed to save her.

Don’t… say this…

oMuxGjD.png
You… can never be late… I know… you… *cough*… you love me.

SlZHonL.png
Li, don’t speak now, your wounds…

oMuxGjD.png
Ren… why… why don’t you… show…

SlZHonL.png


oMuxGjD.png
Ren… it… feels good… to see… you… for the last… time…

SlZHonL.png
You won’t die…

oMuxGjD.png
I… want you…

SlZHonL.png


M0zdgAF.jpg


pkGX5PY.jpg


4vUyaOF.jpg


WfbDURa.jpg
Don’t say that to me.

WfbDURa.jpg
If not for you, why would that ghastly woman have kidnapped Weili?

SlZHonL.png
Punish me if you want. But Li is heavily wounded, we do not have time for that now.

WfbDURa.jpg


SlZHonL.png
She took very heavy wounds because of my delay. I’m using my inner force to sustain her heart. She is safe for now, take her with you!

WfbDURa.jpg
You cruel beast. Weili did this for you, yet you… how dare you… Ren Tianxiang, don’t you have a heart?!

SlZHonL.png
I failed her all my life… don’t tell her about… me.

The party returns to Sura Palace, having basically failed at everything.

KlXuuj9.jpg


mkP43dS.png
I just got a message from Guardian Yaksha…

HKpwBf8.jpg
Please…

mkP43dS.png
Guardian Yaksha said the Grand Princess has been rescued and is recovering from her wounds.

S5ZLuVl.jpg


sSBLVww.jpg
How…

K6kLgfN.jpg
Thank god! (I hope… it was that man.)

HKpwBf8.jpg
We are glad your Grand Princess is safe and sound. Speaking of which, we thought your Grand Princess had died, but she is safe now… we didn’t manage to help much, someone else saved the Grand Princess.

mkP43dS.png
That’s not true, if not for your efforts, the Grand Princess might be dead already. Thank you for everything you have done.

HKpwBf8.jpg
All is done, I think we should take our leave now.

mkP43dS.png
Sura Palace is most grateful for your help. Take this book as a token of our gratitude… but now that Grand Princess is rescued, please don’t come back here. Grand Princess will never let any man enter Sura Palace.

HKpwBf8.jpg
I understand… farewell.

We got following items after our endeavours.

Broken Sword from Nine Yin’s body.

I0pZPWV.jpg


Another poison skill for Ziling.

DZunlKO.jpg


A female exclusive internal style.

cGg82zY.jpg


With Fatty in the party he would steal another book from Asura’s bed chamber, but we have Shi Yan in the party instead.

TZPe2yd.jpg


With DLC installed Ren Qingxuan is actually recruitable. Her rings count as fan weapons.

Part XCVII: Broken Sword

Before moving on, it’s well worth taking on the task to repair the broken sword we got from Nine Yin. Only Shui can wield it.

UvtZZkW.jpg


njNyRgi.jpg


rQkwX4Z.jpg
My master gave Yitian sword to me and I need it to protect myself in these troubled times. I hope the sword can regain its completeness. The keenness doesn’t matter.

PjJBS3Y.jpg
This sword has been broken for about 200 years and has rust on the surface even though it is made of gold and darksteel. It wasn’t maintained… in short, Yitian sword is already as good as dead.

rQkwX4Z.jpg
How come…

PjJBS3Y.jpg
Don’t worry, Miss Shui. Let me finish. The material of Yitian sword is of high quality. If we can find similar materials, then we can use them to forge a new sword. It is a pity that my blacksmithing skill is poor. I can’t guarantee a new sword as sharp as Yitian sword.

rQkwX4Z.jpg
My master used to say everything has its destiny and it cannot be forced. Nobody can compare with Master Ren in blacksmithing. I’ll appreciate it if you can forge a new sword for me.

PjJBS3Y.jpg
We still lack exotic gold. It’s rare and hard to get. If you can find some exotic gold for me, I can make a new sword for you.

On the world map there’s a random encounter regarding Duke Sai. Our next main task is related to him.

3SlN9j5.jpg


sSBLVww.jpg
It turns out to be Wanyan Ke’erke’s father.

K6kLgfN.jpg
Back then when we were at Duke Sai’s mansion, there was no sign of Duke Sai. God knows where this old cunning fox went.

C0URTYq.jpg
We have no idea either. Duke Sai just disappeared suddenly.

HKpwBf8.jpg
Duke Sai acquired Nine Yin Manual that day at Willow Manor. If I am right, he must hide somewhere and study the manual.

sSBLVww.jpg
Willow Manor!? Gu, you mean Duke Sai is the one who killed that enchantress and blew up the manor? How do you know that?

K6kLgfN.jpg
From his words, from his exotic royal clothes, and him being obviously acquainted with Nine Yin. From the unbelieving expression on her face when she died, we can draw the conclusion that that man must be Duke Sai.

sSBLVww.jpg
Tch! Such a stone-hearted person. He didn’t even show up when his son died.

C0URTYq.jpg
We recently discovered there’s a penetralium under the mansion. It is shame we cannot get more details.

MHtMGUb.jpg


HKpwBf8.jpg
Thank you very much. Please pass along our thanks to Elder Li.

C0URTYq.jpg
Gu, are you really going to break into the bunker according to this information?

HKpwBf8.jpg
It has been a while since Duke Sai got hold of Nine Yin Manual, we can no longer afford to wait.

C0URTYq.jpg

The chivalrous beliefs of Xiaoyao Valley truly deserves its reputation, I wish you don’t let your guard down.

K6kLgfN.jpg
Finally we find his hideout.

sSBLVww.jpg
Let’s go and kick his ass!

Another random encounter is tied to the joystick/controller bought in Luoyang pawnshop with Fatty in the party.

SXV1Edz.jpg


REhttBA.jpg


HKpwBf8.jpg
We got it inadvertently and had no idea about its purpose. If it is yours, we can give it back to you.

ABDUoO4.jpg


K6kLgfN.jpg
It seems he left us something. Ah, it’s a scroll.

You get Hexameridian Fingersword from him, but Gu can no longer learn it at this point and it would also be overkill.

tNXazUU.jpg


Regarding the item for the sword, it is tied to a rumor. You need to wait for a rumor to pop up about someone having an odd item in their possession and then trigger the encounter.

tNykGl2.jpg


Fatty is to steal the item but first time we actually got an internal style instead of the ore.

0ov7dxl.jpg


IZ7guIW.jpg


reBmDdh.jpg


The sword gives Shui the Killer Momentum talent.

This game has so much content. Pity the translation is so poor. But the power level seems kind or crazy compared to the first one. Are you close to end game?

Part XCVIII: Duke Sai

We return to the northern mansion to deal with Duke Sai.

WttjTwu.jpg


We need to interact with a certain candlestick.

BL2TzvR.jpg


K6kLgfN.jpg
Look, this candlestick is movable.

HKpwBf8.jpg
Right, this kind of candlestick is usually fixed on the ground.

sSBLVww.jpg
Maybe it is the key to the forest bunker!

K6kLgfN.jpg
You are right, we can have a try.

bF8Gfyp.jpg


K6kLgfN.jpg
Yes! Duke Sai must be hiding in there, we need to stop him quickly. We can’t let him master the Nine Yin Manual.

sSBLVww.jpg
Let’s go find that old goat.

Inside the bunker are just some weak guards… and a big bird.

4zcaWBK.jpg


dr1EGa4.jpg


K6kLgfN.jpg
What is this bird they were guarding? WOW, it is huge!

HKpwBf8.jpg
It must be some kind of exotic creature from somewhere. We need to find Duke Sai and stop him from practicing Nine Yin Manual!

We arrive just too late.

One become two, and become the earth and heaven. Six polar of Yin, seven energy regen into the origin, the purest of the abyss…

0Z7asV4.jpg


11lZOC9.png
Yin and Yang… attracted to each other, yet resisting… so they are one in two…

vgWayzQ.jpg


IKiSBIC.jpg

8xORsDT.jpg


sSBLVww.jpg
Tsk! Stop boasting.

11lZOC9.png
Ah, now I don’t need to waste time to find you. You killed my son Kirk and you will pay for it.

K6kLgfN.jpg
Your son was a mean bastard, his death was his own doing.

11lZOC9.png
But he was still my son. My son was the prince of my kingdom. Whatever he did, he did it to restore our kingdom to its former self.

sSBLVww.jpg
What kingdom? Stop dreaming.

K6kLgfN.jpg
Your kingdom? It was just you and your son.

HKpwBf8.jpg
The house of Duke Mu was slaughtered, the innocent of Sea Shark Clan got executed, you call that the righteous way?

11lZOC9.png
The throne always belongs to the stronger. And what about you from Central China? Exile us nomads to the northern wastelands, you call that the righteous way?

HKpwBf8.jpg


11lZOC9.png
You hypocrites! The law of the jungle is always the only right way in the world!

11lZOC9.png
When I take the throne, I will decide what is right and what is wrong.

sSBLVww.jpg
Tsk! You power-hungry maniac! All I know is that if I let you go, more innocent people will be hurt!

K6kLgfN.jpg
That’s right. Gu, Ji, we must stop this lunatic.

11lZOC9.png
Stop me? Go ahead, do your best!

Duke Sai has only one move so this is not really very difficult.

Fn92dxp.jpg


w5cTKY9.jpg


k3tq1LG.jpg


95ca0zA.jpg


Duke Sai has another trick up his sleeve however.

8D2prMn.jpg


HRUNiKz.jpg


RCVhpna.jpg


evVNRil.jpg


HKpwBf8.jpg
It’s his eyes! He is using some kind of strange Hypnotize technique!

K6kLgfN.jpg
Ahh…

sSBLVww.jpg
!! Are you alright!

IQjsvnu.jpg


K6kLgfN.jpg
Do you know how many innocent people will be hurt by it! Why… why you do this… FATHER!

sSBLVww.jpg
What are you talking about? Wake up!!

HKpwBf8.jpg
He got Ziling! (Father? Lord Wei? What did he do?)

11lZOC9.png
That’s right, your father has done wrong but he didn’t want any of that. Yes, your father was forced to do those things.

K6kLgfN.jpg
Forced?

11lZOC9.png
Right! Think about it, that loving and caring father you loved so much would never do those things. Look, it is all their fault. They threatened your father, your father did all those things to protect you.

sSBLVww.jpg
Don’t listen, wake up!

11lZOC9.png
Right! Just kill them and every bad dream will go away.

K6kLgfN.jpg
Kill… them…

fYSgqyf.jpg


TRXbAra.jpg


HKpwBf8.jpg
Careful, Ji!

Ziling needs to be lured away from Duke Sai because she will tank hits directed at him. But it’s easy enough to do.

6OnMNgS.jpg


Shinji drinks a nectar wine because obv. Ziling will go after him rather than Gu.

v0rq2oW.jpg


6EylGHp.jpg


With Ziling away from Duke Sai he can be easily taken down.

z28YJrK.jpg


GJSlOvL.jpg


BJPU0dU.jpg


HKpwBf8.jpg
Duke Sai is getting weak, it seems the hypnosis begins to lose its effect. Knock him down right now!

sSBLVww.jpg
I will do that… I am angry now!

FkvT0l5.jpg


XySD5b3.jpg


K6kLgfN.jpg
They are all good people, you are wrong, Master!!

sSBLVww.jpg
Why? We have beaten Duke Sai, why didn’t she recover?

HKpwBf8.jpg
I heard that only a powerful stimulation can wake up someone who got hypnotized. Maybe…

sSBLVww.jpg
Stimulation? What stimulation?

HKpwBf8.jpg
Anyway… we can’t hurt Ziling.

Shinji needs to take a hit from Ziling.

K6kLgfN.jpg
Ahahahah…!!

HKpwBf8.jpg
Ji, get away!

sSBLVww.jpg
Hey… wake up!! Aren’t you smart? Never thought I would lose to this little trick…

K6kLgfN.jpg
!?

sSBLVww.jpg
*cough* You… I am hurt!

K6kLgfN.jpg
Gu…!! Ji… Ji!!

HKpwBf8.jpg
…!!

RaCXC4j.jpg


g5h9CjT.jpg


sSBLVww.jpg
You are strong enough to hurt me. I no longer need to be worried.

1FfF6TA.jpg


sSBLVww.jpg
Alright… let’s deal with this bastard!

11lZOC9.png
Hehehehehe…

HKpwBf8.jpg
Something is not right with him.

iNr1KMV.jpg


sSBLVww.jpg
Tsk! Playing mad are we.

o3W7XRj.jpg


sSBLVww.jpg
Eh? How? He hasn’t got a trace of inner force in him!

11lZOC9.png
Ouch! Hurt, that hurt! I want my mommy!

HKpwBf8.jpg
Looks like he practiced something wrong and his inner force consumed itself. He lost all his sanity and power…

sSBLVww.jpg
Just like that he went mad? Tsk, he’s getting off too easy…

ozHLkUi.jpg


Duke Sai leaves with Pino.

wJUuL75.jpg


11lZOC9.png
Oh, bro, you want to play with me. Heh heh heh, you are the best. I raised you from the egg since I found you at the sword grave. You will never betray me! Give me a kiss now.

W90llOS.png
*croak*

11lZOC9.png
Eh? Where are you taking me? Mother will be angry if I wander too far, I’m afraid.

W90llOS.png
*croak*!!

11lZOC9.png
Heh… alright then. Let’s go to wonderland!

XKkPNfi.jpg


EqOObfs.jpg


sSBLVww.jpg
Are we just going to let him go?

HKpwBf8.jpg
He has lost all his power and his mind is reduced to that of a child. He doesn’t remember what he has done. Just leave him be.

We have now completed all main quest tasks.

pbeuye4.jpg


HKpwBf8.jpg
The way they hide their traces… no wonder they can do so much damage in a very short time.

K6kLgfN.jpg
But we got no clues now. Gu, what should we do?

HKpwBf8.jpg
We’d better inform Great Xia Jiang about this first and think about what to do later.

There’s also a bit of a surprise from Fatty.

5u5gvCV.jpg


sSBLVww.jpg
Do you have something to say, fat man?

pVNqlBx.jpg
*sigh* I got something to tell you.

sSBLVww.jpg
I don’t think he can tell us anything useful.

K6kLgfN.jpg
Just let the man talk.

sSBLVww.jpg
Tsk! Do tell please.

pVNqlBx.jpg
We have been friends for a while now. But I need to leave you now…

K6kLgfN.jpg
Why leave so early?

sSBLVww.jpg
Are you afraid?

HKpwBf8.jpg
Ji, Yue has helped us with many things during our travels. He must have his own reason to leave us now.

ZNuQXlU.jpg


sSBLVww.jpg
Just what are you blabbing about? I say you got your energy flow messed up, but it is your head that got distorted, not your shape.

K6kLgfN.jpg
Alright, alright! Pay no heed to Ji, he is always like that. I think he is just regretting that you are leaving.

sSBLVww.jpg
I am not sad! He can go wherever he wants for all I care.

K6kLgfN.jpg
*sigh* No need to get those defenses up! No wonder he always called you the little hedgehog…

HKpwBf8.jpg
Thanks for your help. Good luck and godspeed.

pVNqlBx.jpg
*sigh* You too. We shall meet again.

HKpwBf8.jpg
We should hurry up, we need to tell Great Xia Jiang about this. He is waiting for us in Luoyang.

We got two powerful internal styles from the fight with Duke Sai.

Part XCIX: New Direction

We meet Jiang again in Luoyang.

baSQX7I.jpg


This dood kinda looks like
24665.jpg


K6kLgfN.jpg
Uncle Jiang, have you any new information?

DPSeAJo.png
Leaving this for a while, what do you come here for today Gu? Is anything wrong?

HKpwBf8.jpg
Yes, we are here about the acquittal period.

DPSeAJo.png
Did you find any clues?

HKpwBf8.jpg
We have found the five places in the confidential letter but we couldn’t find more information after several attempts.

DPSeAJo.png
So, you have destroyed the five strongholds? That’s really good news.

sSBLVww.jpg
Yet we still found nothing, it was only a waste of time.

DPSeAJo.png
It’s not like that. You destroyed the five stronghold and many innocent people will survive because of this. How’s that a waste of time?

HKpwBf8.jpg
You flatter us, it’s just that this organization is very cautious. As far as I am concerned, there are more than five strongholds. It will not be over until the one behind all this is eliminated.

DPSeAJo.png
That’s what I was trying to tell you.

K6kLgfN.jpg
Uncle Jiang, have you found the whereabouts of the big boss?

mT8pLs9.jpg


sSBLVww.jpg
Old Exorcist? Humph! I would say he is the one that needs exorcizing!

DPSeAJo.png
The name of Old Exorcist… I had heard it before. 100 years ago, there was this book of swordsmanship named “Exorcize Swordsmanship”. It caused a bloody slaughter in Jianghu… but it’s not clear whether these two things are related.

sSBLVww.jpg
It’s no use just knowing his name, if this Old Exorcist is in hiding we can do nothing.

DPSeAJo.png
Jing Ji is right. Sorry, but I have no more information.

HKpwBf8.jpg
This Old Exorcist is very ambitious, he will not stop just because we destroyed some strongholds. Maybe they will make a move soon.

sSBLVww.jpg
Do we have no choice but to wait?

HKpwBf8.jpg
Well…

K6kLgfN.jpg
Gu, the stinky monkey is right. We have been too passive and only waited until another incident happened. I got an idea, hopefully Uncle Jiang can evaluate it.

DPSeAJo.png
Speak freely.

sSBLVww.jpg
I’ve never seen you so polite, are you about to bring up some terrible idea?

K6kLgfN.jpg
I was thinking, rather than being driven around, how about we pay a visit to Cult of Tianlong and Feng Du?

sSBLVww.jpg
What? Why go there?

DPSeAJo.png
This is really taking drastic measures to deal with this situation. Brilliant.

K6kLgfN.jpg
Only Uncle can understand me in a heartbeat. These days, the Old Exorcist and his underlings have focused on stirring up conflict between Cult of Tianlong and Feng Du, even pretending to be them and slaughtering other sects. What’s the reason the Old Exorcist is doing this?

sSBLVww.jpg
Could he just be killing for fun? I think he’s trying to weaken all the sects and wait for the opportunity to rule Jianghu.

K6kLgfN.jpg
What if he really killed for fun?

sSBLVww.jpg
What? No man can be that bored…

K6kLgfN.jpg
Though I don’t know his reasons, it’s not like he’s trying to rule Jianghu. Maybe… he’s really messing about for fun…

HKpwBf8.jpg
Anyway, this Old Exorcist casts a long shadow over Jianghu. Ziling must want to visit Cult of Tianlong and Feng Du to explain the situation and solve the problem at its core.

DPSeAJo.png
But…

K6kLgfN.jpg
Do you find it appropriate, Uncle Jiang?

DPSeAJo.png
It takes great risks to go to Cult of Tianlong and Feng Du. I ought to go with you… but if I turn up, there may be no chance to talk it out.

K6kLgfN.jpg
Yes, Uncle Jiang is the Great Xia. If you were present at Cult of Tianlong or Feng Du, a fight would break out before being able to explain your presence. But if we go, Negaraja and Yama may not take us so seriously.

HKpwBf8.jpg
We should also visit Shaolin.

K6kLgfN.jpg
Yes, Shaolin used to be the leader of the good sects. Though it may not solve the misunderstanding, it can help to put the conflict on hold for a moment.

DPSeAJo.png
If so, then we should be counting on you. If the Old Exorcist finds out what you’re doing, he may try to stop you. Remember to take care of yourself.

It’s easiest to visit Shaolin first.

LD2aYGr.jpg


HKpwBf8.jpg
Can you tell us about it?

52gVZIu.jpg
A hundred years ago, there was a rumor that Lin from Fujian got hold of a book called Exorcise Swordsmanship. Anyone who learnt it could become the No 1 in Wulin. All kinds of forces chased after the book and it led to all of Lin’s family killed with only one survivor.

52gVZIu.jpg
The book changed hands several times but was ultimately taken back by the sole survivor. After learning it, he began to kill everyone out of revenge… it was a bloodbath and no could stop him.

sSBLVww.jpg
Is this swordsmanshp really so powerful? I hope to see it with my own eyes.

HKpwBf8.jpg
What happened afterwards?

52gVZIu.jpg
Great Xia Linghu beat him with Nine-form Dugu Swordsmanship, sealed his Kung fu and imprisoned him in Mei Manor. The book was destroyed as well, so that the disaster could finally end.

K6kLgfN.jpg
Mei Manor? Can you tell us its location so we can go investigate.

52gVZIu.jpg
Mei Manor is Swordsmith’s Manor nowadays. And Lin’s last descendant died 20 years ago. The master of Swordsmith’s Manor brought the body back to his home in Fujian.

HKpwBf8.jpg
If Lin’s descendant died, who else could have known Exorcise Swordsmanship?

52gVZIu.jpg
I don’t know and I’ve never heard that Lin got descendants or apprentices. I thought it would disappear forever and now there’s this Old Exorcist, I am confused too.

K6kLgfN.jpg
What if… he didn’t really die?

sSBLVww.jpg
He faked his death?

K6kLgfN.jpg
Think about it, who would be willing to be imprisoned forever? If I were him, I would escape Swordsmith’s Manor by all means possible.

HKpwBf8.jpg
You are right, maybe he faked his death.

K6kLgfN.jpg
But if this Old Exorcist is really Lin’s descendant, he would be very old now, how can he even swing a blade?

52gVZIu.jpg
It’s not like that, Immortal Zhang in Wudang lived for 140 years and created Taijiquan and Taijijian in his 100s.

sSBLVww.jpg
Tianji Taoist is also old but his martial art is unfathomable.

52gVZIu.jpg
If the Old Exorcist is the descendant of Lin, his true goal is worrying. With every action he causes disorder in Wulin.

K6kLgfN.jpg
But wasn’t he deprived of Kung fu?

52gVZIu.jpg
No one knows Exorcise Swordsmanship besides him, being No 1 in Wulin surely allows him some secret measures.

HKpwBf8.jpg
If this is true, the Old Exorcist is unfathomable and we need to keep alert.

HKpwBf8.jpg
Shaolin is always the leader of Wulin. I also want to invite you to mediate the disputes between houses and sects so the Old Exorcist doesn’t succeed.

52gVZIu.jpg
Buddha be praised, of course. You are so young yet you care about the safety of Wulin. It’s truly a gift. Please rest assured, as this concerns the destiny of wulin, we won’t stand by.

Next we head to Feng Du. By this time Feng Du has reconquered the Forkband.

lvf5l4X.jpg


It’s probably also a good idea to have Ao Guang around here.

HKpwBf8.jpg
Nobody has interrogated us on the way and there are no guards at all!

NVPB3cf.jpg


SmTzJV5.jpg


1VZmAEx.jpg


OaQtUMh.jpg


Yama is indeed beyond reasoning.

m8MYEUn.jpg


NLnIRAa.jpg


sSBLVww.jpg
Is this Yama? He looks like a beast.

HKpwBf8.jpg
I’m Gu Yuexuan from Xiaoyao Valley and send regards to Grand Master.

gpNiECr.jpg
Grand Master, Grand Master, what’s wrong with you? You don’t recognize me?

Kx6ptZi.png
My head hurts, it hurts badly!

O3rM9tJ.jpg


dVnzgoL.jpg


In this fight Yama will be accompanied by some ghosts who should be completely ignored since they have the Spellbound talent.

C230ix2.jpg


Yama himself is very powerful and there’s an extra trick in this battle.

CmYLPrM.jpg


After taking a certain amount of damage he will heal and go berserk, gaining a 300% damage bonus which means an instakill. You really need to be careful here.

A4memyG.jpg


COuFYss.jpg


BM68FmM.jpg


JH4oGTp.jpg


tCzAvAe.jpg


f54Vpf5.jpg


Yama is defeated… but he was already dead.

1xEc4Q0.jpg


dps8k8I.jpg


gpNiECr.jpg
Grand Master, Grand Master?!

K6kLgfN.jpg
Brother Gu, is he dead?

gpNiECr.jpg
Nonsense! Grand Master can’t be hurt this easily, he can’t be dead like this!

sSBLVww.jpg
Then what happened to him?

HKpwBf8.jpg
Let’s take a close look.

YuHH036.jpg


K6kLgfN.jpg
It looks like a needle, look, there’s an eye in it. This needle pricks deeply in his head…

sSBLVww.jpg
This needle is much longer than the ones used by Dr Miracle. It must have hurt him with it in his head.

gpNiECr.jpg
This thing has been in Grand Master’s head for so long…

HKpwBf8.jpg
There is something carved on the needle.

K6kLgfN.jpg
Let me see, hmm… the engraving reads “Don’t violate God’s will when the Old Exorcist returns.”

HKpwBf8.jpg
Although we don’t know what kind of witchcraft the Old Exorcist uses, this needle must be the reason why Yama went insane… maybe it’s also the reason for the trouble between Cult of Tianlong and Feng Du.

sSBLVww.jpg
This man is insidious. He hides himself and does sneaky things behind the scenes, it makes me feel uncomfortable.

HKpwBf8.jpg
He uses a needle to control one’s mind. I never heard of this before.

gpNiECr.jpg
Grand Master, please rest in peace. I will cut this Old Exorcist in pieces and dig out his heart for you!

6ZZxfwq.jpg


6hEG2tc.jpg


HKpwBf8.jpg
With Yama gone the conflict between Feng Du and Cult of Tianlong must subside. Branch Master Ao, what’s your plan?

gpNiECr.jpg
Humph, I said I would find this Old Exorcist and cut him into pieces. There is nothing else I want.

HKpwBf8.jpg
Then let’s set out.

Raksha arrives and without Ao Guang around we’d probably have to take him out too.

LSbi8Q6.jpg


sSBLVww.jpg
Are you Raksha? I thought you were stabbed to death by Xincan…

eVGCDih.jpg
Someone like Xincan stabbing me? Stop kidding. Hand over your life!

gpNiECr.jpg
Be quiet, you horse face!

eVGCDih.jpg
Snake, why are you here? What’s happening?

gpNiECr.jpg
It’s a long story, please calm down and listen to me.

vTbZ3Sx.jpg


XTMOrjP.jpg


gpNiECr.jpg
Horse face, you just recovered from a serious injury. You should have a good rest and leave the rest to us.

eVGCDih.jpg
What are you talking about? Do I look like someone in need of rest?

gpNiECr.jpg
Humph, you should think about your wife. She spent three days and nights taking care of you last time so you could come alive again. If you get stabbed this time, who do you think will take care of you?

eVGCDih.jpg
I…

5YWhSTL.jpg


sSBLVww.jpg
This is your wife?

gpNiECr.jpg
*cough* She saved him with all her power last time. Horse face was deeply moved and married her…

eVGCDih.jpg
Snake, do you have any complaints about my beautiful and kind-hearted wife?

gpNiECr.jpg
Whatever you like…

eVGCDih.jpg
Cut the crap, I will stay here and rest. Snake, it’s up to you now. If you are no match for that thief, we could look for him together afterwards.

gpNiECr.jpg
Horse-face, you just stay here. I will bring the Old Exorcist’s head to you.

With Yama gone, Feng Du is finished.

8ikMnie.jpg


We actually gained Yama’s unique broadsword skill, but Hongshang can’t learn it.

Part C: Cult of Tianlong

We pay a visit to Cult of Tianlong which is far west of Kashgar.

O5JsXi1.jpg


K6kLgfN.jpg
Wait, we are not here for fighting.

oKBM8v5.jpg


v5KODoG.jpg


sSBLVww.jpg
Pooh! Why is he here?

HKpwBf8.jpg
Ji, calm down, don’t forget our purpose.

sSBLVww.jpg
I know.

HKpwBf8.jpg
I’m Gu Yuexuan from Xiaoyao Valley. I want to meet the Hierarch, could you please inform him?

TThhME3.jpg
Haha! You ants want to meet our Hierarch, why? After what happened at Forkband, you want to mess with our Cult of Tianlong?

HKpwBf8.jpg
I have important things to tell the Hierarch, please.

TThhME3.jpg
Ha, let me see if you’re qualified for getting into Cult of Tianlong!

Soon a very big battle breaks out.

This is supposed to be a battle where you hang on for dear life for 10 turns, but in 4 turns they’re all down. Courtesy of Taya’s dual strike skill.

zoOLc1J.jpg


L4CNyIw.jpg


WiLTNfJ.jpg


50KWmkc.jpg


lkBq5Um.jpg


Of course, we didn’t have to fight the strongest Tianlong fighters, Yaksha and Asura.

w0qmRog.jpg


sSBLVww.jpg
Ah, they are difficult to deal with.

HKpwBf8.jpg
Cult of Tianlong really deserve their reputation.

The game somehow acts like we didn’t humiliate them.

zgGN0KG.jpg


But we are “saved” by Yaksha.

nWtpofb.jpg


cId2PVY.jpg


TThhME3.jpg
Wushuang, you know these people?

WfbDURa.jpg
Heh, of course I know this pretty little brother. So, why did you come to Cult of Tianlong? You missed me?

HKpwBf8.jpg
Guardian Yaksha, I have some important things to tell the Hierarch, could you please inform him?

TThhME3.jpg
Wushuang, you… I will kill these gnats!

WfbDURa.jpg
Luo Shejun, what do you want to do? Are you jealous they are younger yet more skilled than you?

WfbDURa.jpg
You know, they came to Cult of Tianlong with no ill intent. If they are mistreated, everybody will scoff at us.

TThhME3.jpg
I will leave them alone for your sake.

WfbDURa.jpg
Heh, don’t mind him. Please come with me.

HKpwBf8.jpg
Thank you, Guardian Yaksha.

We are taken before Niggaraja.

z1gvoSE.jpg


WfbDURa.jpg
Yes, my Lord.

cLvwFZp.jpg


JNpa9Sh.png
OK, you are brave. Even Wushuang shows appreciation for you. So tell me, why are you here?

HKpwBf8.jpg
I am here regarding the acquittal period. Jianghu is falling into disorder these days, with Cult of Tianlong and Feng Du being like oil and water.

HKpwBf8.jpg
But everything has been manipulated by the Old Exorcist. He wants to weaken all of Jianghu. I was wondering if you could stop fighting each other for now – don’t let him take advantage of you.

JNpa9Sh.png
That is all you want to say? I am very disappointed. I thought you had more important and unexpected things to tell me.

K6kLgfN.jpg
You knew this already?

JNpa9Sh.png
I don’t care about the plans of this Old Exorcist.

sSBLVww.jpg
What are you talking about!?

JNpa9Sh.png
Chaos in Jianghu is just what I want. But who is taking advantage of whom? That is not decided yet.

HKpwBf8.jpg
You don’t care about how many people are to die because of this? Many of your people are likely to die as well!

JNpa9Sh.png
That’s ridiculous. You cannot unify all of Jianghu without sacrifices.

HKpwBf8.jpg
So your mind is made up. We’ll leave now.

z9rpnpk.jpg


There’s a fight with Niggaraja but he’s way easier than Yama. Even though with Supreme Me talent in this fight every attack will be a crit, he cannot trigger invulnerability. Nor does he get a crazy damage bonus.

QoF00hJ.jpg


TSlbsQR.jpg


Plus, we fight him with many strong people.

JNpa9Sh.png
You can take ten moves of mine at such a young age, that’s surprising. If you agree to serve me, I will treat you fairly.

sSBLVww.jpg
You wish!

HKpwBf8.jpg
Everyone has his own choice.

Ha, you have a strong personality. I will let you go today, you’d better think about it. If you dare to come here again, I will now show any mercy.

HKpwBf8.jpg
Ji, Ziling, let’s go.

Niggaraja has some secret orders after Gu is gone.

On the way out Gu is approached by Yaksha.

The Hierarch doesn’t care about this Old Exorcist but I’m unwilling to let this go. I want to find him and deal with happened in Villains’ Valley. If you want to deal with this trouble caused by Old Exorcist, I’m in.

Yaksha is powerful and hott, it’d be foolish not to have her join.

But she prolly just wants to fukk Shinji.

Part CI: All One

We return once more to Jiang in Luoyang. It seems there’s some brouhaha again.

WoJLjrk.jpg


HKpwBf8.jpg
Ji, Ziling, something seems to have happened at Jiang’s mansion!

K6kLgfN.jpg
Gu, let’s go and see!

LFjQrlQ.jpg


It’s those two idiots again.

(Damn… this foreign monk got such powerful internal styles.)

That redhead Wapanese gurl is here too.

Humph, you dare to call yourself Sakyamuni?

jY3HT2O.jpg
They are minions of the Old Exorcist, get them!

bG3ev4n.jpg
You won’t be so lucky this time, my Flaming Blade will burn you all.

We now have the opportunity to see the “Great Xia” in action.

BaVxDjW.jpg


4x9KzmU.jpg


With Seven-form Moon Worshipping Zhang at least he can one-shot all the mooks.

It’s up to us to take down Hetuo and the ugly bitch.

Humph, another group of troublesome people.

bG3ev4n.jpg
The mighty dragon is no match for the native serpent. We should retreat today.

WQUNpdw.jpg
Jiang, don’t count your chickens before they hatch. We won’t let you go so easily.

c25rqWI.jpg


HKpwBf8.jpg
Ji, Ziling, let’s take Great Xia Jiang inside to rest.

jY3HT2O.jpg
Thank you.

UNsZkX9.jpg


6njsfnA.jpg
The foreign monks were good, even father was hurt by them…

K6kLgfN.jpg
Uncle Jiang, who’s this girl…

jY3HT2O.jpg
She’s a guest of Yu named Feng Chuixue. She is young yet very strong. It’s because of her help we held out until you arrived.

sSBLVww.jpg
But this girl is…

K6kLgfN.jpg
*cough* Ji, I know you think this lady looks familiar, but I am sure you have mistaken her for someone else.

sSBLVww.jpg
What did you say! How can I…

2SWJSXz.jpg


sSBLVww.jpg
Tsch!

VBgQxgy.jpg


HKpwBf8.jpg
Great Xia Jiang, why would these enemies come to you?

jY3HT2O.jpg
I don’t know either. I was tracking those laymen of the Old Exorcist and found out where the Exorcism Palace is. But I was attacked once I returned to Luoyang. Maybe the Old Exorcist found out we sabotaged his work several times and wanted to strike first to gain the advantage.

K6kLgfN.jpg
Uncle Jiang, where exactly is this Exorcism Palace?

jY3HT2O.jpg
Yes, I drew this map along the road. It is very well hidden, without a guide it is impossible to find the entrance even if you lived near it for 20 years.

K6kLgfN.jpg
Good. Now that we know the location of Exorcism Palace, we can hold the Great Assembly of Wulin and root out the force of the Old Exorcist for good with all the heroes in the world.

6njsfnA.jpg
The Old Exorcist is too wicked and cunning, I am afraid he would disappear again if we took such a drastic action.

jY3HT2O.jpg
Right, the Old Exorcist has been hiding for decades. His endurance is extraordinary, if we act rashly and alert the enemy, I’m afraid we won’t be able to find him ever again.

sSBLVww.jpg
Why don’t we break in and attack him unprepared?

K6kLgfN.jpg
The laymen of the Old Exorcist are already so strong they could hurt Uncle Jiang. The Old Exorcist can only be stronger. Even if we managed to break into Exorcism Palace, we would be no match for him.

HKpwBf8.jpg
This is about the survival of Wulin, we should not hesitate. Though we are weaker, as long as I’m alive I will not allow this Exorcist to mess with Wulin.

7HMLtYV.jpg


K6kLgfN.jpg
You, why… why are you so stubborn…

jY3HT2O.jpg
Hahaha! Alright, you all have heroic spiric. I should not back down either. *cough* I…

HKpwBf8.jpg
You should have a good rest and not push yourself. You are the backbone of Wulin and shouldn’t risk your life easily.

jY3HT2O.jpg
Have you set your minds to this?

jY3HT2O.jpg


HKpwBf8.jpg
Please do tell if you have something to say.

9GpfOcS.jpg


vUrBMA4.jpg


K6kLgfN.jpg
Now that you know this legendary martial art, why didn’t you use it to beat those foreign monks?

jY3HT2O.jpg
That’s why I hesitated. To be honest, what I learnt was only part of it. Some parts are missing from the book. I devoted myself to it yet still can’t fully understand the meaning behind it.

sSBLVww.jpg
So you learnt nothing?

HKpwBf8.jpg
Jing Ji.

jY3HT2O.jpg
No, I didn’t learn nothing after all these years of studying this martial art. Though “All One” is mysterious, it cannot be fully mastered on your own.

jY3HT2O.jpg
If you separate the art into two parts, and one concentrates on pulling the opponent’s inner force while the other concentrates on accumulating inner force to attack, it might work. But the two should be equal in inner force and have similar internal style or they would hurt each other.

sSBLVww.jpg
That’s perfect, I can practice it with Gu.

jY3HT2O.jpg
Why not let me finish first?

K6kLgfN.jpg
Uncle Jiang, why are you hesitating, is something wrong with this martial art? Will anything happen to them if they learn it?

jY3HT2O.jpg
*sigh* According to the incomplete book, there’s only one chance to use it when learnt... it’s so mysterious that the body suffers great burden…

jY3HT2O.jpg
So, the user suffers great internal damage, using it twice might hurt the user’s martial art, and even kill the user… that’s why I would never show this to others, if not for the Old Exorcist…

HKpwBf8.jpg
Great Xia Jiang, there really is no way to have only one person use All One?

jY3HT2O.jpg
*sigh* This art is really extraordinary, beyond comprehension of normal people, it is impossible for one person to comprehend.

sSBLVww.jpg
Gu, what do you mean? We will practice it together, don’t even try to leave me behind.

HKpwBf8.jpg
According to Great Xia Jiang, once someone uses the move it will surely harm the future martial knowledge of the user. Ji… you are still young, if anything happens how can I go back to Master?

sSBLVww.jpg
Yuck! If anything happens to you, do you think I can go back to the Master?

HKpwBf8.jpg
But…

K6kLgfN.jpg
Gu, don’t always try to take the responsibility alone. The more people we have, the larger chance we have to win. Humph! Even though the Old Exorcist is so strong, he is but one dying old man. We are still young, why should we be afraid?

jY3HT2O.jpg
I am so relieved there are teenagers like you in Wulin, yet the result of using “All One” is unpredictable. It’s due to my weakness that you all got involved, I am sorry.

HKpwBf8.jpg
We understand. Master always teaches us we should consider it our duty to have a strong sense of justice and be ready to help the weak. You don’t need to blame yourself.

jY3HT2O.jpg
Wuxia Zi indeed has two fine disciples. Alright, I shall teach you “All One”.

MDRcpI1.jpg


sSBLVww.jpg
I have already memorized the formula. If I don’t practice now, I can ask nobody for instruction once we leave Luoyang.

K6kLgfN.jpg
(Speaking of Uncle Jiang, he’s suffered an internal injury, where did he go at this hour?)

We gain not only All One but also the Wapanese gurl as party member.

6ftihBO.jpg


Ng8UU6r.jpg


QzoS7HW.jpg


VBgQxgy.jpg
I don’t understand.

T7spv96.png
Did Samurai teach you to question my orders?

VBgQxgy.jpg
Yes, master.

T7spv96.png
Well said.

DeTk7Ek.jpg


HKpwBf8.jpg
Thank you for teaching us the martial art.

K6kLgfN.jpg
Gu and Ju have memorized the formule of All One after practicing all night. We should no longer disturb Uncle Jiang and find another place to practice.

HKpwBf8.jpg
Ziling is right. We have been away from Xiaoyao Valley for a long time. Master will be worried about us, how about we return to Xiaoyao Valley and report on everything. Then we can practice All One in the valley.

jY3HT2O.jpg
Alright, then I should give you the map to Exorcism Palace. Be careful, I will await your good news.

jwfwVyv.jpg


sSBLVww.jpg
!?

HKpwBf8.jpg
Miss, the trip to Exorcism Palace is very dangerous, you don’t have to go.

VBgQxgy.jpg
With one more person you will have more power.

jY3HT2O.jpg
Hehehe, Gu, Chuixue helped me defend against the enemy, I believe in her martial art and vouch for her.

HKpwBf8.jpg
Even though you say so…

K6kLgfN.jpg
(What’s this little girl from Japan planning?)

The Wapanese gurl can still learn two good internal style but there’s only one more martial skill in the game for her to learn since she’s the only character who uses katana.

She’s a defensive character specializing in countering.

Part CII: The Fall of the House of Wei

It’s time to report back to Wuxia Zi.

PhHwkKT.jpg


4Rpgg04.jpg
I’ve heard about Exorcise Swordsmanship and was curious about it in my youth. Finally encountering it in this situation makes me feel regret…

K6kLgfN.jpg
I wonder whether All One taught by Uncle Jiang can really defeat Exorcise Swordsmanship.

HKpwBf8.jpg
Whatever the result may be, Ji and I will do our utmost.

4Rpgg04.jpg
No, this is too dangerous. I won’t put you in danger while I’m hiding myself in Xiaoyao Valley.

sSBLVww.jpg
You are too old to leave, old man.

4Rpgg04.jpg
Little bastard, what are you talking about? I am still young on the inside. According to you, All One is powerful yet has strong side-effects. Us Master and Apprentice together may have a chance against the Old Exorcist, we don’t need to use All One.

K6kLgfN.jpg
Yes, with more people on our side, we shouldn’t be afraid of the Old Exorcist any more.

HKpwBf8.jpg
But…

4Rpgg04.jpg
I have made my mind up. I don’t think you’ve become strong enough during this trip.

sSBLVww.jpg
Humph, I have improved a lot these days!

4Rpgg04.jpg
You still don’t know how to be modest. If so, I should have a look at how you guys have improved. Xuan, Ji, bring it on!

HKpwBf8.jpg
Here we go.

sSBLVww.jpg
Old bastard, don’t break your waist!

Wuxia Zi now gets his ass handed to him.

oAI4dSh.jpg


mioKFGl.jpg


MdVFphY.jpg


I32E3MT.jpg


Victory means Shinji learning another skill.

99XiJzK.jpg


nLW29XK.jpg


Ziling gets homely all of a sudden.

QO6t74F.jpg


sSBLVww.jpg
Just a little tear, nothing serious.

K6kLgfN.jpg
Hehe, the apprentice of Xiaoyao Valley wearing such rags, people will confuse you with beggars! Let me mend this for you, it will be quick.

4Rpgg04.jpg
You are our guest, Ziling. How can I have you do this?

HKpwBf8.jpg
Yes, I can mend it for Ji later.

K6kLgfN.jpg
Gu can mend clothes?

4Rpgg04.jpg
Hahaha! Ji the little bastard has Gu help mending every time his clothes get torn.

K6kLgfN.jpg
Uncle Wuxia Zi, they are practicing All One these days. I can’t help with that, so leave this to me! Please, please!

4Rpgg04.jpg
All right, if you say so. My two apprentices are lucky today.

K6kLgfN.jpg
Hehe, give it to me.

pQnD3Tg.jpg


K6kLgfN.jpg
Humpf! Watch and see!

HKpwBf8.jpg
Thank you, Ziling.

4Rpgg04.jpg
This trip to Exorcism Palace will be tough… Ziling, you have been away from home for a long time. How about you return home during this time. I’ve been receiving letters these days, your father misses you very much.

K6kLgfN.jpg
…I don’t want to go home.

4Rpgg04.jpg
Ziling, are you quarreling with your father or something? Can you tell me? If it’s your father’s fault, I can help you teach him a lesson or two.

HKpwBf8.jpg
Even if there’s a disagreement in their family, we shouldn’t meddle. Ziling, you have indeed been away from home a very long time, your father must miss you very much.

sSBLVww.jpg
Yes, taking you with us means trouble. Go home!

K6kLgfN.jpg
Stink money, don’t look down on me. I can protect you too.

HKpwBf8.jpg
Ziling, please think about this, this time… we could die in Exorcism Palace…

4Rpgg04.jpg
He’s right. You are your father’s only daughter. If something happens to you, I couldn’t face your father.

K6kLgfN.jpg
Gu, Uncle Wuxia Zi, don’t even think about leaving me out this time.

K6kLgfN.jpg
I want to go with you and do something for Jianghu… just like you did. Father will understand.

4Rpgg04.jpg
Hehe, you’re your father’s daughter, just as upright as him.

HKpwBf8.jpg


sSBLVww.jpg
Don’t pull that strange face, I’m really not used to it.

HKpwBf8.jpg
You actually miss your father, right, Ziling?

K6kLgfN.jpg
I…

4Rpgg04.jpg
Ziling, even you want to go to Exorcism Palace with us, you should go back to Wei Castle first and talk to your father in person. Xuan, Ji, you two accompany Ziling to Wei Castle.

HKpwBf8.jpg
Understood.

sSBLVww.jpg
Hehe, are you afraid of being lectured by your father when you get home?

4Rpgg04.jpg
Little bastard, Ziling is not a troublemaker like you, her father loves her dearly!

K6kLgfN.jpg
…Yes… Here, all done.

Pzk595z.jpg


4Rpgg04.jpg
You bastard, stop being picky.

sSBLVww.jpg
Tsch!

So off to see Ziling’s old man.

Castle Wei is not far from Xiaoyao Valley at all but only now accessible.

Vflbn9G.jpg


xPCOfDv.jpg


K6kLgfN.jpg
You know my father?

HKpwBf8.jpg
Yeah. When I arrived in Xiaoyao Valley I saw Senior Wei eliminate a group of thieves. He was in black with a spear in his hand. I still remember his appearance now.

HKpwBf8.jpg
I always expected to destroy the evils in this world with my father and master, and with other seniors.

K6kLgfN.jpg
Destroy… evils…

We find only death & destruction.

Zubbyc2.jpg

HKpwBf8.jpg
What happened here?

a4bM6kP.jpg

HIcTw1z.jpg


jvNDFUT.jpg


RjNAwAM.jpg


HKpwBf8.jpg
Ziling!!

K6kLgfN.jpg
Dad… don’t sleep, I won’t quarrel with you anymore… please wake up.

sSBLVww.jpg
Shit, Old Exorcist did this?

K6kLgfN.jpg
I … I didn’t mean it did that day… *sob*

sSBLVww.jpg
Hey. You…

HKpwBf8.jpg
Ji, leave her alone.

K6kLgfN.jpg
*sob* I… I was just angry about you doing so many bad things. But… but I… *sob* I know you love me… dad…

HKpwBf8.jpg
It must be Old Exorcist!

s7tHstC.jpg


6FEMSLb.jpg


sSBLVww.jpg
Stop!!

YTZxZVD.jpg


sSBLVww.jpg
What are you doing here? Are you an underling of Old Exorcist?

O54hW8U.jpg
Old Exorcist? I… I never heard of…

sSBLVww.jpg
You really want to lie to me?

O54hW8U.jpg
No! Please don’t kill me! I just wanted to see if there are any valuables here. I really never heard of Old Exorcist before!

HKpwBf8.jpg
Ji, take it easy. Let’s ask him.

sSBLVww.jpg
Why? He must be related to all of this.

O54hW8U.jpg
Don’t slander me, master! I’m a kind person with no relation to the Wei family. It’s the Emperor who ordered the Imperial Guard to sack Wei Castle.

sSBLVww.jpg
Imperial Guard?

HKpwBf8.jpg
What are you talking about? It can’t be. Senior Wei is a good person. Why would the Emperor want to kill his family?

O54hW8U.jpg
Bah! Decent? You don’t know the truth at all. The Imperial Guard found a lot of things in this castle. Wei Bao was a hypocrite. He did many dirty things courtesy of being protected by the Empress.

O54hW8U.jpg
But the Empress was banished and couldn’t protect Wei’s family anymore!

sSBLVww.jpg
Nonsense, he must’ve been framed by others. Who sent you here? Why are you saying this?

O54hW8U.jpg
What I said is the truth! You can ask other people, everyone knows it now.

sSBLVww.jpg
You dare go on!

K6kLgfN.jpg
Let him go…

HKpwBf8.jpg


sSBLVww.jpg
No way! After talking all that bullshit…

cvxaIbq.jpg


rYC9HWQ.jpg


HKpwBf8.jpg
Ziling, you knew about what your father did, right?

K6kLgfN.jpg
…I…I… *sob*

1hoeTdE.jpg


QJVv7N7.jpg


When this phagget shows up, you know some bad chit is gonna come down.

sSBLVww.jpg
You!!

fbnyxno.png
My nephews, you should call me uncle when you meet me. Why so combative?

sSBLVww.jpg
Bah! You are a traitor to our sect and not qualified to be my uncle.

fbnyxno.png
Haha, didn’t Wuxia Zi teach you to respect your elders? My disciple is much more polite. Everybody in Xiaoyao Valley likes her. Zi, am I right?

GhEkEO0.jpg


sSBLVww.jpg
What do you mean!?

fbnyxno.png
Haha, don’t you understand? Zi is my disciple. She went to Xiaoyao Valley for the purpose of claiming justice for me after she heard how Wuxia Zi ruined my life.

giphy.gif


K6kLgfN.jpg
Master... *sob*...father...my father...

QOcM0xH.jpg


K6kLgfN.jpg
I…I…

HKpwBf8.jpg


K6kLgfN.jpg
I came to Xiaoyao Valley… just to know what kind of people you are… but I…

sSBLVww.jpg
Shut up! I won’t believe you anymore!

K6kLgfN.jpg
*sob* …Ji… I… I never thought of hurting you, really…

fbnyxno.png
Wuxia Zi is good at pretending to be nice and kind in front of others. His disciples are exactly like him. Look at Gu Yuexuan, he is sanctimonious. Zi, don’t be deceived by them.

K6kLgfN.jpg
*sob* … Master… Ji… Brother Gu and Wuxia Zi are not at all as how you told me they’d be.

HKpwBf8.jpg


sSBLVww.jpg
Senior Brother, why aren’t you surprised at all? Did you know this already?

HKpwBf8.jpg
No, I didn’t know.

sSBLVww.jpg
Even you want to lie to me?

HKpwBf8.jpg
Ji, calm down and listen to me. I truly had doubts about Ziling. She is familiar with all kinds of venom and Strength-erasing… when we met Duke Cheng that day, she didn’t take the pill…

sSBLVww.jpg
Why didn’t you tell me!!

HKpwBf8.jpg
Ji, I believe that Ziling would never hurt us at all.

fbnyxno.png
Haha, you are pretty nice to my little disciple. I really appreciate that.

sSBLVww.jpg
Damn you!!

Shinji finally loses it but gets owned.

WLg68SY.jpg

b7OFLHZ.jpg


sSBLVww.jpg
Fuck off!! *cough* You don’t need to pretend to be good!

HKpwBf8.jpg
Ji, stop talking. You are badly hurt.

K6kLgfN.jpg
My father is dead. They… I…

fbnyxno.png
Humph, ok. I will let you live for now for the sake of Zi. I wonder if Wuxia Zi could defeat my Venom Palm and save his darling disciples.

sSBLVww.jpg
You… you bastard.

fbnyxno.png
Let’s go, Zi.

abNqqGo.jpg


HKpwBf8.jpg
Ziling, do you really want to go with Xuanming Zi?

K6kLgfN.jpg
I…

Part CIII: Gather your party

We return to Wuxia Zi after having failed again.

DGXcoiw.jpg


4Rpgg04.jpg
What’s wrong? Why the panic?

HKpwBf8.jpg
Ji was hurt by the Venom Palm of Xuanming Zi!

4Rpgg04.jpg
What!? You ran into the traitor? Hurry, take me to Ji.

j7lFDXk.jpg


HKpwBf8.jpg
You were hit by the Venom Palm of Xuanming Zi, how can you be just fine? Ji, don’t fuss, I will send for Dr Miracle now.

4Rpgg04.jpg
Ji, get your hand out, let me check your pulse.

sSBLVww.jpg
Tsch!

HKpwBf8.jpg
How is Ji, Master?

4Rpgg04.jpg
This is odd, Ji’s pulse is strong and shows no signs of interruption. There’s no sign he’s poisoned.

4Rpgg04.jpg
Was Xuanming Zi just bluffing… But from how I know him, that’s impossible…

HKpwBf8.jpg
Xuanming zi said he wanted to see if Master could save Ji or not…

4Rpgg04.jpg
*sigh* I can never understand Xuanming Zi. Never mind, it seems that Ji is OK.

sSBLVww.jpg
Humpf, if I meet him again, I will teach him a lesson!

4Rpgg04.jpg
How about Ziling? Did you meet Old Wei? Xuan, where did you run into the traitor?

sSBLVww.jpg
Don’t mention that girl’s name in front of me again!

yHCq812.jpg


4Rpgg04.jpg
Little bastard, you got quite a temper now. Xuan, what on earth happened during the trip outside the valley? Did Ji and Ziling fight again?

HKpwBf8.jpg


Lgd2Ej3.jpg


wbjaIkq.jpg


4Rpgg04.jpg
What a surprise that Ziling is the apprentice of the traitor… But what I saw in Ziling is quite different from her master.

HKpwBf8.jpg
Master, I didn’t deal with this properly and got Ji injured, please punish me.

4Rpgg04.jpg
This has nothing to do with you. You have been together for a long time, I believe in your judgment of Ziling. *sigh* Ji must have really opened up to Ziling, no wonder he’s so upset… it’s good that this was just a false alarm and the traitor didn’t hurt Ji…

HKpwBf8.jpg
Yes, Master… it’s just, it reminds me when we were at Poisonous Dragon Clan with Ji, Ziling spent a lot of time and effort to refine a pellet for Ji. It may be thanks to the pellet that Ji is alright this time…

4Rpgg04.jpg
Really? You are always attentive, now that you mentioned this, it can’t be wrong. *sigh* Looks like Ziling knew Ji too well and refined this pellet to prepare for this.

HKpwBf8.jpg
Yes, I believe Ziling doesn’t mean to harm us at all.

4Rpgg04.jpg
Yes, Ziling lost her home and family, and that traitor was always extreme… I am concerned. If we get the chance, we should bring Ziling back… it would be merrier to have a sister in training in the valley…

HKpwBf8.jpg
Yes, Master. Master, if you have no other commands, I want to check on Ji.

4Rpgg04.jpg
That kid is stubborn, I’m afraid he won’t get over this so quickly…

Y9XzLpf.jpg


sSBLVww.jpg


HKpwBf8.jpg
Ji, I know you’re angry that Ziling and me didn’t tell you anything. But you must feel that Ziling means us no harm after all these days.

sSBLVww.jpg


HKpwBf8.jpg
I believe that Ziling will never harm us.

sSBLVww.jpg
… I know.

7uAVNAE.jpg


HKpwBf8.jpg
Ji… I just want to protect you.

HKpwBf8.jpg
I’m sorry, Ji. I didn’t know your thoughts before. I promise from now on, I’ll never hide anything from you.

sSBLVww.jpg
Humpf, what is said must be done, you should remember that.

The peace of the valley is disturbed by the usual asshat.

sIWQmtd.jpg


ywsv5Jd.jpg
A large number of military forces came to our valley and said that you two young masters are wanted prisoners of the Imperial Court. The commander is preparing to take away Master!

sSBLVww.jpg
What did you say!!

HKpwBf8.jpg
Hurry up, let’s go!

6LeTtUA.jpg

We have to take that idiot down again for the umpteenth time.

No.

sSBLVww.jpg
I will never leave you and the old man. We must leave together.

4Rpgg04.jpg
Xuan, Ji, don’t worry about me. You should have more important things on your mind regardless of personal honor. Just go!!

ywsv5Jd.jpg
Young masters, go!

HKpwBf8.jpg
Master…

sSBLVww.jpg
No!

4Rpgg04.jpg
Do you want to disobey you own master? Just go!

sSBLVww.jpg
Damn it. Old man, I will get you out by all means!!

YLmqszU.jpg


4Rpgg04.jpg
Heh, I’ve been to so many places in my life but never to jail. So why not have a try? Hu, let’s go.

ywsv5Jd.jpg
Yes, master.

With Wuxia Zi out of the picture, Shinji and Gu are forced to deal with the Exorcist on their own.

We must see our friends at the hidden valley and get ready for the endgame.

Old Exorcist is the one who destroyed my entire family. Exorcism Palace is a very dangerous place. Gu, let me help you.

HKpwBf8.jpg
Xiao…

rQkwX4Z.jpg
Wudang Sect and Tianshan Sect are having conflicts. Huashan Sect was attacked by Cult of Tianlong while Baicao Clan is invading Poisonous Dragon Clan.

rQkwX4Z.jpg
Jianghu is falling into flames. And the one behind it is this Old Exorcist. My sister… sides with the evil so this is also E’mei’s responsibility. If you would allow me, I would like to join you.

HKpwBf8.jpg
Shui…

w3vJ2Hx.jpg
What you are bearing is too much… for one man. And also the matter with Princess Mu… you do not need to bear all of this alone. I… want to be your strength.

HKpwBf8.jpg
Taya…

2rfJBiu.jpg
Look behind you, Gu.

HKpwBf8.jpg
You guys… thank you…

2rfJBiu.jpg
You helped everyone. We will help you now. Let’s go to Exorcism Palace and finish this.

rQkwX4Z.jpg
Xiao has changed.

w3vJ2Hx.jpg
Where is Ji?

We must gather our final party here.

Part CIV: Exorcism Palace

We burst into Exorcism Palace and are greeted by a party led by You Jin.

HKpwBf8.jpg
Commander You, you are here to arrest us?

afeGHFf.jpg
What a a pity, I can’t let Wuxia Zi go and I didn’t come here to arrest you.

Feng Qingxiao is also around, but just following orders as usual.

5TwJ1m5.png


afeGHFf.jpg
I know what I need to do.

HKpwBf8.jpg
Are you here because you know the truth already, and want to help us to take on the Old Exorcist?

afeGHFf.jpg
Truth? Haha! What truth do you know? I never knew it was that guy guiding you from the beginning and let you guide me the whole way.

HKpwBf8.jpg
What do you mean?

sSBLVww.jpg
I thought this guy was hiding things from the beginning. What is your real identity?

HKpwBf8.jpg
Thinking back now… the information you gave us was wrong most of the time and you were always there. That is just too coincidental. Commander You, are you with the Old Exorcist?

afeGHFf.jpg
What do you think?

GfvZnmO.png


afeGHFf.jpg
You do what you want, but right now I am still your commander.

gXGyjQ4.jpg
Yes sir…

afeGHFf.jpg
Gu, I advise you to surrender yourself.

gXGyjQ4.jpg
You are outlaws of the Imperial Court, I need to take you in no matter whether you are innocent or not. If you are really innocent, I swear I will do all I can to prove it.

sSBLVww.jpg
You damn pigs, you really expect us to believe your words? Keep dreaming!

HKpwBf8.jpg
Say no more. Bring it on, Commander You!

8IyuBN9.png


wdeaZ2E.png


We need to deploy our entire party here.

DbalvRh.png


Aside from Feng Qingxiao, Hetuo and the ugly bitch, You Jin has some unexpected “reluctant” allies here.

OUpQlyD.png


EM9wDlw.png


kRSPrVj.png


QoAOAJR.png


Feng Chuixue was replaced by Chu Hui at the last moment, she’s useful here with her hit-and-run tactics.

ubMSzq7.png


We take down Hetuo in the first turn, and he repents after being beaten again, passing his power to Budong.

XSNGEuX.png

bG3ev4n.jpg
How dare you say that! My Buddha dharma and martial arts are both far above yours. I am the first Rinpoche in Jinlun Temple in Tibet, how dare you question me.

t7zWHC7.jpg
With Buddha in their heart, everyone can be Buddha. With a thief in their heart, everybody can be a thief. If the mind is not trained, even if your martial arts are the best, no one can be Buddha.

bG3ev4n.jpg
…!!!!

sSBLVww.jpg
Why is he suddenly speaking like this?!

gpNiECr.jpg
Hahaha, well said.

t7zWHC7.jpg
Though Ao Guang did bad things, he helped the coast people, kept them safe and fed them. In the coastal people’s hearts, he was Buddha.

t7zWHC7.jpg
But you aided an evildoer doing evil, covered up crimes in the name of helping your country, and to satisfy your own personal desires. You are not the Buddha!

bG3ev4n.jpg
*sweating and ashamed* …

bG3ev4n.jpg
(I got enlightened at age 7, became a certified priest at age 8 and was regarded as the reincarnation of Buddha and received the title of Rinpoche. But when did I forget my original intention and became like this?)

bG3ev4n.jpg
You reminded me. After learning the Vajrayana unique art “Flaming Blade” my heart became evil. Supreme martial arts hindered my progress!

bG3ev4n.jpg
*rushing to Budong while yelling and hitting his head from above with his hand*

sSBLVww.jpg
What are you doing!!

t7zWHC7.jpg
Don’t worry, it’s fine.

bG3ev4n.jpg
I passed my energy to him. From now on, Hetuo the Rinpoche no longer exists… Buddha be praised, Buddha be praised.

In the next turn, we take down the ugly bitch.

(True to her name, Hongshang went down in the first turn… it is normal to lose some people here.)

Z1jsPTm.png


8gNi2dN.png


Depending on who takes her down, she reacts differently.

CVQ9Eqr.png


WQUNpdw.jpg
Are you talking about that bitch Mu Ping? I was willing to become a monster for my Lord.

HKpwBf8.jpg
Watch your mouth.

WQUNpdw.jpg
You angry? You really had feelings for her? Hahahahaha!

WQUNpdw.jpg
Let me tell you, the Saintess was the biggest slut in the world, who served many men every day. Staying with a whore like that, I felt sick.

HKpwBf8.jpg
Don’t insult her.

WQUNpdw.jpg
Om Mani Mani.

sSBLVww.jpg
That Buddhist nun is using strange incantations again!

WQUNpdw.jpg
(I must get out of here and inform my Lord, there’s no time to waste here.)

In this fight You Jin must be saved for last… you can try to take him down early but he will trigger invulnerability often and heal to full health once… it’s better to take his allies down one by one.

After taking down the Tangmen clan master, his son and daughter spawn along with several clan members.

uGgs6mm.png


g5sIaFc.jpg
There are many things that you don’t know.

hTBeMxq.png


jZ3ndU0.jpg
(Things are looking bad, let’s go before it is too late.)

There are any fact many different interactions here, depending on who you bring into battle.

6aza9LG.png


HKpwBf8.jpg
Taya, how are you?

w3vJ2Hx.jpg
I am fine!! I won’t become your burden. I will try my best… to help you at this time.

In turn 3 also some Imperial guards spawn for good measure while we get help of Raksha.

KGKvo2m.png


Raksha is a big help here, and the dual-wielding Feng Du is also p. tough.

G2Tdwe9.png


gpNiECr.jpg
Annoying horse!

eVGCDih.jpg
Revenge for Feng Du is not only your business! Let’s do it!

There’s suddenly a lot more enemies around.

PLBCCN4.png


We just keep taking down the enemy big shots.

Sxe3OCi.png


GCsv2zD.png


uCE2v3Y.png


When the Tianshan master goes down, his wife appears to help him and he’ll heal once to full health.

MunbJH8.png


P8VMGgi.png


RDBhLgs.png


vW0Jv1F.png
Tianshan Sect’s master can’t lose here. Yes, I hate you, but I want to see you die of old age!

PqQ1rDS.png
Thank you, Lan!

We get another unexpected ally in the process.

Bl6Mx42.png


vW0Jv1F.png
Yun? You’re here too?

v1JcHuQ.png
I have long known what happened. You Jin knows the secret between Lan and Zhuo and threatened to reveal it. So you wanted to protect the reputation of Tianshan Sect and convinced the master to help You Jin.

vW0Jv1F.png
!!!!

PqQ1rDS.png
I don’t know what you’re talking about, just shut up!

v1JcHuQ.png
But it is what it is. Feng, we can’t lose moral courage. Uncle He taught me martial arts and how to be a man.

PqQ1rDS.png


PqQ1rDS.png
Yun, you are a good disciple of my brother. But you know sometimes things are out of our control.

v1JcHuQ.png
Then please forgive me.

Yang Yun is of some help here with his Drunken Immortal sword skill.

9vU4T5X.png


With He and his wife down, we are free to take down You Jin.

HKpwBf8.jpg
Dongfang Xi…..?! You are Dongfang Xi!

WfbDURa.jpg
Dongfang Xi….?! That’s not possible… Dongfang Xi should be already…!!

Ziling is back too.

K6kLgfN.jpg
Master!! Master!!

xCIt1Do.jpg


hm35WKf.png
Dongfang Xi, you got lucky last time, but not this time.

afeGHFf.jpg
*cough* *cough* Xuanming Zi, you dirty dog!

hm35WKf.png
Hahaha! You can only blame your naivety for last time. This time, there will be no rescue for you. I am acting out of kindness, you can reunite with Gong Xiyao now.

afeGHFf.jpg


HKpwBf8.jpg
You Jin… is Dongfang Xi…?

7SQYZEL.png


afeGHFf.jpg


HKpwBf8.jpg
Father… because of him…

hm35WKf.png
What are you waiting for? This is the murderer who slaughtered your whole family! Where is their justice?

WfbDURa.jpg
Xuanming Zi, I finally found out the truth about you! How many secrets are you hiding from me?

hm35WKf.png
My loyalty to you is solid like stone and I only found out the identity of the traitor recently. I wanted to give him the punishment he deserved and forgot about informing you. Please forgive me.

WfbDURa.jpg
Humpf, we will discuss it later. Tell the Hierarch yourself when we get back!

hm35WKf.png
Of course.

sSBLVww.jpg
Gu?

K6kLgfN.jpg
Brother Gu…

gYwBfwV.png


HKpwBf8.jpg
Father… Mother…

hm35WKf.png
Yes. Only by killing Dongfang Xi can you avenge your parents. Listen to your heart.

HKpwBf8.jpg


TRJwFPT.png


HKpwBf8.jpg
This man killed my father and slaughtered my family. I will defeat him cleanly and take hand him over to the law.

hm35WKf.png
Tsk! All you people, hypocrites always talking about right and law, disgust me like Wuxia Zi. Gu Yuexuan, if you won’t do it, then I shall do it for you!

hm35WKf.png
Dongfang Xi, I killed you once, I surely can kill you twice!!

K6kLgfN.jpg
No, master!!

Unfortunately for him, if he can’t surprise people he just gets owned.

ujna1Fm.png


01cZtTw.png


N6HybvB.png


With Xuanming Zi out of the picture at least Ziling can come back to us.

unNHVG6.png


K6kLgfN.jpg
Master…

iFIC0oN.png


HKpwBf8.jpg
The death of my parents is on you. Even now, I still feel hate like I was a little boy. But I will not take your life.

afeGHFf.jpg


HKpwBf8.jpg
I have seen too many tragedies caused by hatred. My master always told me hate comes from man so it can be stopped by man. I still can’t forgive you but at least now I can choose to end the circle of hatred.

afeGHFf.jpg
Are you trying to talk me out of it? I risked my life for them, yet in the end I was pursuited by everyone. My wife, killed right in front of me! That’s right, she got killed by those “heroes”… it was your father, Gu Yunfei, who killed my beloved wife!

HKpwBf8.jpg
…!

afeGHFf.jpg
I have nothing left except revenge. Jianghu treated me with injustice, so I shall repay all of you in kind!

HKpwBf8.jpg
If what you said is true, that my father took your wife’s life… KILL ME THEN, avenge your wife!

sSBLVww.jpg
What are you talking about! I will never let this man hurt you!

afeGHFf.jpg
Nice try. Your father was nothing but an ignorant executioner. Killing you will never give me satisfaction.

HKpwBf8.jpg
You won’t have peace even if you kill every last one of those who have done you wrong.

HKpwBf8.jpg
What is done is done. But there is still hope for the future. As long as we are alive, there is hope.

afeGHFf.jpg
Dongfang Xi is long gone. I am just a ghost who refuses to die, a ghost has no future.

HKpwBf8.jpg
Dongfang Xi is dead, you said so yourself. Why not let the hatred go and live, as You Jin? I will not hold any more hatred towards the dead… I will let you try living as You Jin.

afeGHFf.jpg
Stop making me laugh. I ruined my own face and voice with hot coal and hid in the Imperial Court for decades, waiting for an opportunity to destroy this disgusting Wulin. I am but a ghost, this is the only reason I am still here. You expect me to cast it away?

K6kLgfN.jpg
(Although his voice is calm, I still feel he is howling with sorrow. Every single word of his saddens me.)

afeGHFf.jpg
Gu Yuexuan, have you ever forgotten the memory of your dead parents?

HKpwBf8.jpg
Not a single day these past ten years.

afeGHFf.jpg
If so, why are you telling me to forget about my family? I have lost everything. Vengeance is my only purpose. You better kill me right now, otherwise as long as I still breathe I will never let your Jianghu have peace!

HKpwBf8.jpg
Then I will stop you again.

afeGHFf.jpg
…!!

HKpwBf8.jpg
After my father’s death, I was forced to watch my mother be violated and kill herself…

sSBLVww.jpg
Brother…!? (He… never told us about this…)

HKpwBf8.jpg
I was angry about everything once and cursed my fate. If father hadn’t been the Hero of Liaodong, maybe everything wouldn’t have happened? I was one step from becoming… a husk filled with hatred.

HKpwBf8.jpg
Luckily, I met my master, I met Hu and met all the seniors in Wangyou Valley.

HKpwBf8.jpg
And I met you, Ji.

sSBLVww.jpg


HKpwBf8.jpg
I learnt from you, learnt how to love and how to be loved. Love is the most valuable thing. One can be master of everything, yet still be blind to love.

afeGHFf.jpg
Are you done?

HKpwBf8.jpg
For hundreds of years, Jianghu has been filled with conflict. The world is filled with injustice, filled with wrongness, filled with so much hate!

HKpwBf8.jpg
But our lives will only have meaning if we bleed for peace, not bleed for more hatred. Even if our generation can’t achieve peace in the world, the spirit of Xia will go on forever.

gXGyjQ4.jpg
(The spirit of Xia…)

HKpwBf8.jpg
My master taught me this: “Keep the Peace with Martial Arts, Benevolence is Invincible.”

gXGyjQ4.jpg
Commander, I know you haven’t given up on the idea of fairness and justice. You solved so many cases against the odds: the murder of Wu, the land occupation of Qin and the missing son case of Han… how many people have you saved? I don’t think I need to remind you.

afeGHFf.jpg
Don’t be naieve. I did all that to earn trust and reputation. The human heart is way darker than you think. You will regret your choice sooner or later.

HKpwBf8.jpg
I did it because I don’t want to regret. Commander You, no… Senior Dongfang, the pain and anger you felt… maybe it is because you too believed such an idea once…

afeGHFf.jpg


There’s a flashback scene.

EOZIgiU.png


9xIFN5v.png


EkhvEF7.png


1GZpYZ0.png
Say no more. These past three years, even through the endless pursuit… being with you… I have no regrets.

HMmdgjZ.png


1GZpYZ0.png
I am… just sad… that I can’t raise Weiming.

Dongfang Weiming is the official name of Tale of Wuxia protagonist.

1GZpYZ0.png
Be a good baby, don’t cry now…

1GZpYZ0.png
I hope you can grow up in peace and marry a kind and wise girl… No, no. Don’t pick a soft one, pick one just like me. Small fights all the time… that is more interesting.

1GZpYZ0.png
When you grow up, you will meet many setbacks and many difficulties you can’t overcome. But… don’t ever give up on your dream. Your father’s dream, is to become a great hero just like Nobody.

1GZpYZ0.png
Although your father has some misunderstandings with others in Jianghu, in my eyes… he is even greater than Nobody.

HMmdgjZ.png


1GZpYZ0.png
I want you to stay away from Jianghu. But you have our blood in you, so you have a restless heart too. If that day comes…

1GZpYZ0.png
I want you to remember one thing: “Keep the Peace with Martial Arts, Benevolence is Invincible”. These words are your grandfather’s philosophy and ours. Never forget…

HMmdgjZ.png
Xiyao, we don’t have enough time. We need to go now, otherwise we will hurt the innocent people here…

1GZpYZ0.png
You have anything to say to Weiming?

HMmdgjZ.png
Take your mother’s words into your heart.

c1aIma1.png


1GZpYZ0.png
Weiming... Weiming... my child...

goIFkuU.png


sSBLVww.jpg
Are we really letting him go after everything he did?

HKpwBf8.jpg
He will never do such things ever again.

gXGyjQ4.jpg
Commander You, under the law of Ming dynasty, I take you into custody, please cooperate.

afeGHFf.jpg
Daughter of Wei Bao.

That’s right, he’s behind the slaughter of Ziling’s family too.

K6kLgfN.jpg


afeGHFf.jpg
Heh. I led the man who killed your family, I would have killed you too had you been there. You can kill me and avenge your family.

sSBLVww.jpg


K6kLgfN.jpg
*sob* Dad… Mom…

K6kLgfN.jpg
My father was breaking the law, you were just following orders… I…I won’t kill you.

afeGHFf.jpg
You… are different from your master. You know any Min dialect folk songs?

K6kLgfN.jpg
I learnt some easy ones back in Hangzhou.

afeGHFf.jpg
Whenever you are in danger, sing that one about the tea grower.

K6kLgfN.jpg
What do you mean?

afeGHFf.jpg
Let’s go, Qingxiao, I will tell you everything.

gXGyjQ4.jpg
Okay. Gu, please come with us and prove your innocence. If we want to get rid of Exorcism Palace, we will need men from the Imperial Court.

HKpwBf8.jpg
I appreciate your gesture. But if we use a big army, there will be a huge battle and both Exorcism Palace and the Imperial Court will suffer tremendous losses. What happens in Jianghu, stays in Jianghu.

MYguRxg.png


WfbDURa.jpg
Wait! Dongfang Xi, stop right there!

afeGHFf.jpg


WfbDURa.jpg
Relax, although you are a traitor to our cult, I am not interested in taking your life. I just want to ask you a question.

afeGHFf.jpg
I have nothing to say to you.

WfbDURa.jpg
Likewise. I just want to ask… where is Xiyao buried? I have the right to… visit my old friend.

afeGHFf.jpg
… Twenty miles out of Dukang village, just under the weeping willow.

WfbDURa.jpg
Go, we will not meet ever again.

X2GsRL5.png


K6kLgfN.jpg
He… was there when I was sad, caring for me when I was sick… I… I could feel it…

sSBLVww.jpg
Wake up!! That was just him tricking you!

K6kLgfN.jpg
No, no… it’s just like I know you and Gu are good people. I know it, I just know.

sSBLVww.jpg


HKpwBf8.jpg
Maybe… there is still a part of him that we don’t understand…

sSBLVww.jpg
Tsk! Whatever.

K6kLgfN.jpg
You… you are not mad at me?

HKpwBf8.jpg
Even Ji is long past that, ignore his face.

sSBLVww.jpg
Hmpf!

HKpwBf8.jpg
Master said to take you back, so you are one of us.

K6kLgfN.jpg
Thank you… Gu…

sSBLVww.jpg
So I’m your big brother.

HKpwBf8.jpg
Heheh!

K6kLgfN.jpg
How is that? I am older than you, so I am your big sister.

sSBLVww.jpg
Humpf! You want to take advantage of me again.

K6kLgfN.jpg
That is not true! I am your sister now, so you have one more protector!

sSBLVww.jpg
Stop treating me like I am some kind of child. We still have one more guy to deal with!

HKpwBf8.jpg
Let’s go and finish this.

It’s time to remove the spider from his web.

Part CV: Old Exorcist

The Old Exorcist is deep within the castle.

The way ahead is rife with Nightwing cosplayers, these pointless battles should be avoided.

The ugly bitch who ran away earlier is guarding the entrance to the inner sanctum.

I was just teaching you a lesson of respect.

sSBLVww.jpg
Bastard! I am fine! That was nothing.

JQhHUEq.png
You remind me of that bugger. I have made up my mind. I will cut off all your flesh, one chunk at a time.

HKpwBf8.jpg
He is too fast, we need to stand close.

K6kLgfN.jpg
Ji, Gu, he is planning to humiliate us so he won’t make a killing blow immediately. I’ll stall him, giving you the opportunity to use “All One”.

HKpwBf8.jpg
No, he is way too strong. That would be too dangerous for you.

sSBLVww.jpg
He is right.

This dood is below Yama and even Niggaraja, tbh.

Q06c740.png


It would be safer to deploy Shui instead of Yaksha as she had learnt the Grand Sivasutrani which makes her p. much unkillable and has a passive AoE heal. But Yaksha can do more damage.

aUWNmhn.png


HfnMhfp.png


All the Exorcist’s moves seem to have Combo potential… if he crits things can become troublesome quickly as he also has Killing Momentum.

pwmPMCa.png


But Taya’s “Wulin Legend” internal style gives 100% crit reduction.

LV8fYxc.png


With Xiao’s and Taya’s buffs and healing, we should be fine.

Not to mention, Strength-erasing.

HKpwBf8.jpg
(In just a short while we exhausted ourselves, but the Old Exorcist hasn’t broken a sweat…)

We have him completely surrounded by turn 4 and can finish him off.

The killing blow is for Ziling.

Ziling starts singing the song You Jin told her to.

We need a miracle.

But… your body?

E0xP9Bp.png
Yeah yeah yeah, this is who I really am. Lin, your time has long past. The world belongs to the younger generation, just go back to your cave and die there already.

Q9HWa9i.png
Insolent boy. You will regret what you said.

sSBLVww.jpg
Gu, you are too weak. Run!

HKpwBf8.jpg

Imagine cutting off your balls and dink for ultimate power, only to still get crushed like a bug.

Why are you laughing so loud? Is my story really that funny?

All those years ago, there were so many great martial artists in Wulin. But Nobody came out on top with his self-taught Finger-Guessing Quan and became the Leader of Wulin, only to mysteriously disappear and fading into eternal myth.

rOtR1DD.png
I was so deepy engrossed in your story that I thought I was Nobody himself… sorry if I offended you by laughing out loudly. You’re a fantastic story teller.

rqaJNUM.png
Hahah, no need to get serious. I was just kidding. I sensed great aspiration in your laughter. Maybe one day you will become a great hero like Nobody.

rOtR1DD.png
Thank you for your kind words! In fact I don’t live in this village. I’m passing through to admire the Heroic Statue of Nobody in Luoyang. Then I will join a sect, receive training in martial arts and become a great Xia who helps the weak and punishes the wicked.

rqaJNUM.png
Where there’s a will, there’s a way. My name is Xu Ziyi, the roaming story teller. I’m writing about various strange and unusual affairs in a book entitled the Wulinpedia. May I have your name please? Maybe one day I’ll write about you as well.

rOtR1DD.png
I am Dongfang Weiming, nice to meet you!

Perfect timing, kill this man. If I let you kill him, he will die without suffering. He is a hero after all.

Daddy gets killed by one of his son’s future wives. Nice.

afeGHFf.jpg
(I never thought this would be how it ends.)

nRbRLQY.png
Any last words?

afeGHFf.jpg
Tell him…

afeGHFf.jpg
… to listen to his mother…

…?
