[Martial Universe]
[Episode 2]
If I win one more round, I get triple the prize money.
- I can buy Father's medicine! - That was brilliant, Lin Dong!
The Nine Heavens Purity Palace vowed to the Emblem Ancestor
that we would not fight for rank.
The Ancestral Emblem exists.
It can purge the Yimo, so they must destroy it.
The beasts will be found wherever the Emblem is.
I need to talk to you.
Go ahead.
Just don't hit me again.
- Did the Lei Family beat you? - No, not at all.
- Did they recognize you? - I... don't think so.
I want you to bear two things in mind.
Number one.
If you want to go out and fight, you have to cultivate your martial arts.
Number two.
Lin Mu is older than me, but he's less bold than I am.
He's bound to die before me.
It's not worth it to bicker with him.
- But he called you useless! - He isn't wrong.
The Great Yan Empire values martial arts.
Those who win are worshipped and those who lose must accept it.
- But you were-- - Only bastards can't accept loss.
- But Lin Lang Tian played dirty! - Let me say this one more time!
There really were no tricks.
I lost.
Don't bring him up again.
- But he-- - I said not to bring him up!
Number...
- Number three. - Number three.
The medicine you brought back can't heal my injuries.
You take it.
It might be able to help you boost your cultivation.
Don't go out and embarrass me in the future.
I'm starving!
Go and see if Qing Tan got the fire started. Hurry.
You can stop.
Father isn't really hungry.
All martial arts Yuan pills...
are useless in the hands of a wasted man.
Lin Dong!
What is it?
- What's the matter? - Qing Tan...
How do you suppose I can beat the Lei Family until they're on their knees?
Lei Zhong is the most powerful in that family.
He's trying to enter the Heavenly Yuan Stage right now.
And his younger brother Lei Li is working on the Earthly Yuan Stage.
As for me...
I can only manage four echoes
of the Lin Family's Nine Echoes Penetrating Fist technique.
- Lin Dong. - Useless father, useless son!
Don't talk about yourself like that, and don't talk about Father like that!
Lin Dong!
What's the matter, Lin Dong?
Lin Dong.
What is it?
Here's what I think.
If we can't face them head on, we'll go about it another way.
I'll capture a forest demon and make a deal with the Fire Python Tiger.
After that... all we have to worry about is collecting our winnings.
Will that work?
I don't know.
What happened between you and Lin Lang Tian?
Lin Dong...
The old man said not to mention that person again.
It's almost daylight.
If you don't show up...
I'm going to fall asleep.
You little brat, you've got an attitude.
I'm a fan.
Where do you think you're going?
Fairy maiden?
- Go away. - Fairy maiden!
- It's me! - Go away!
Move it!
- Stop playing around. Run! - Little demon!
Where do you think you're going?
I'll deal with you when I get back.
Let it go.
- It's a forest demon. - Let it go.
I promised the Fire Python Tiger to get him a forest demon.
I can't go back on my word.
You're going to feed it to a Fire Python Tiger?
It's just a forest demon...
Fairy maiden...
Your flesh there... is tantalizing.
"Let it go!"
"It's just a forest demon!"
"You're going to feed it to a Fire Python Tiger?"
"I dare you to try and touch it."
"I dare you!"
Great martial arts skills, though.
I've come in person to discuss this betrothal.
You should think about it carefully.
You call this discussing a betrothal?
You're clearly forcing a betrothal.
Either way, it's a betrothal.
Besides...
the deathly Yin energy within that daughter of yours is an abomination.
I'm taking her in out of the good of my heart.
Yet instead of being grateful, you're putting on airs.
Look at yourself. Aren't you just acting shameless now?
Listen to me. As long as I'm still breathing, you can forget about it.
Father!
Are you all right? Let my father go!
- What are you doing? - Let her go!
- This is a Yuan Dan Stage cultivator? - Father!
The Lin Family must really be short on options.
Let go!
Lei Li!
Second Young Master Lei, who says my family has no people?
Amazing!
This Lin master looks quite familiar.
Recognizing my face isn't enough.
You have to remember my fist!
Lin Dong!
Let me go!
- I'm acquainted with your first now. - I'll leave you some dignity.
Dong, beware of his lightning!
Old man! Father! Look, I brought him to his knees!
- My fist! My power! - I'm sorry, I borrowed your fist.
Tempered Body at 12, Earthly Yuan at 14
Heavenly Yuan at 16.
A young genius, pride of the Lin Clan.
I have it all memorized.
I am Lin Lang Tian of the Yuan Gate Sect.
I apologize for my behavior just now.
I'm sorry, Uncle Xiao, for coming late.
You've suffered.
Why are you meddling around in Qingyang Town
instead of cultivating over at Yuan Gate?
Qingyang Town is also my home.
- This isn't meddling. - No matter how powerful you are
you're still just one person.
And there are so many weaklings here holding you back.
- You want to pick a fight with us? - Who says I do?
Stop fighting!
I'll go.
- Qing Tan! - But I have a condition.
The Lei Family has everything. Whatever it is you want, just name it.
The only thing I want...
is the Vermillion Blood Clotting Fruit.
- It will be your dowry. - Why are you asking him?
I can obtain it!
I'm asking him.
An elixir in exchange for a person.
I'm sure Young Master Lei is not too stingy for that.
It's just an elixir, isn't it? Sure, deal.
Qing Tan...
Father.
It's time for me to go.
- Qing Tan! - Wife, let's go!
You're not going!
Don't you dare go!
Enough!
Qing Tan! Qing Tan!
Lin Lang Tian. How dare you interfere with our family matters?
My surname is also Lin.
How do you know my Gate of Vitality?
I'm going to kill you!
Bastard! Don't touch me with your dirty hands!
If you're injured, fix it. If you're ill, take medicine.
The injuries are mine. They're none of your business!
Let me go!
You want to go save Qing Tan?
If your skills aren't as refined as others', don't act strong.
You call yourself a Lin?
Why would you hand my sister over to them for nothing?
Sister?
Wasn't Qing Tan adopted?
That still makes her a Lin!
She deserves to be one more than a traitor piece of scum like you!
If I had really played dirty, Uncle Xiao would be dead already.
Don't tell me you aren't aware that in the arena
neither seniority nor loyalty exist.
Lin Lang Tian!
Let me go!
Get back here!
Uncle Xiao.
Back in the day, we lived closest to the Deliberation Hall.
Remember when the two of you stood on the roof
pretending to be the devil incarnate
and said you wanted to pierce a hole through the heavens?
10 years have passed. You've all grown up.
- Uncle Xiao-- - Don't fight Dong.
He's immature. I can't handle him either.
He doesn't understand.
We don't benefit by picking a fight with the Lei Family right now.
Therefore, Qing Tan...
The day I lost to you
I meant to end my own life.
But just as I was about to slit my throat...
Qing Tan appeared.
There she was, in the middle of the wilderness.
I have no idea where she came from.
She kept crying, asking me for food.
She followed me wherever I went.
And then I thought...
maybe the gods sent this girl to me to save my life.
Uncle Xiao.
The reason I didn't stop them is actually--
Marrying Qing Tan into the Lei Family is a scheme.
I will definitely bring her back safely.
I know you know what you're doing.
I don't care what your goal is.
But remember.
Qing Tan. Dong. You.
All three of you are my children.
I understand, Uncle Xiao.
A Nine Heavens Purity Palace senior sister.
We are allies, so why not show yourself?
Yuan Gate's disciples do live up to their reputation.
You flatter me, Senior Sister Ling. I am Lin Lang Tian.
I had the honor of witnessing you fight
three years ago at the Triple Sect Competition.
It's a pity, I don't remember you.
Your sights are set very high.
It's only natural that nameless juniors are below your recognition.
Three years ago you were unexceptional, yet now you've formed your Yuan pill.
Now your cultivation is above mine. How can you call yourself nameless?
Your modesty, however... sounds insincere.
Did you follow me just to ridicule me?
All right.
- Let's get down to business. - I'm all ears.
Don't tell me you haven't noticed the demonic aura
coming from the Lei Family's members.
- Our hearts certainly are aligned. - Aligned?
Had Lei Li not barged in, you wouldn't even have returned, right?
I've entered the Yuan Gate Sect.
This place is no longer my home.
I concern myself with nothing but purging the Yimo now.
If that is the case, why don't we work together?
Nine Heavens Purity Palace members
have never been willing to work too closely with Yuan Gate.
- Senior Sister, this is-- - I've fought the Yimo before.
I know them better than you do.
That sounds reasonable.
- What are your conditions? - The credit is yours.
The Yimo is mine.
Senior Sister.
Are you and the Yimo perhaps acquainted?
That's not important. Just say yes or no.
The Lei Family's Steel Wood Manor is an abundant source of Yuan Power.
There are definitely Yimo hiding there.
Qing Tan will be wed tomorrow.
We will have the opportunity to scope things out then.
Was this betrothal a scheme of yours?
It was a loss whether we chose to agree to it or not.
The Lei Family lays down the law in Qingyang Town.
The Lin Family is unobtrusive and knows their place.
- I have to be cautious. - I don't care for your family matters.
The Yimo's Yuan Power has not yet recovered.
They're looking for mortal bodies to take over. We have to move quickly.
I will make arrangements.
Senior Sister Ling, let us meet at the Steel Wood Manor tomorrow.
I'd like to go home to visit my people first.
Go home?
- Where is your home? - Right over there.
Did you not say that this was no longer your home?
You've finally returned!
I've been waiting since I heard you got back.
I had a little chat with Second Young Master Lei.
It delayed me.
It's all Lin Dong's fault.
The Lei Family didn't make things difficult for you, did they?
You're not concerned about whether I made things difficult for them?
Is your sudden return from Yuan Gate due to urgent matters, or...
Are you worried that I've offended the Empire's officials
or that I've been exiled from my Sect?
Or are you afraid that I've caused trouble for the Lin Family?
I'm just concerned about you.
Chief, I'm here because Elder Mu gave me an important task.
Not a single hair on your head will be affected.
You can relax.
But Tian...
it is better for you to spend more time at Yuan Gate.
Get acquainted with its disciples...
in particular those from affluent and powerful families.
You must find a way for the Lin Family to rise from its circumstances.
Yet all I know is cultivation. I'm no good with people.
I wouldn't have been disdained by others since childhood otherwise.
You were the one who taught me that only fists could turn things around.
Isn't that right?
Lin Lang Tian, I want to split you into two pieces.
Into four pieces! Into eight pieces!
Into 16 pieces!
I'll feed you to the Fire Python Tiger.
To the forest demons!
To the wild boars!
Madam.
Here's a Yang Yuan stone. I'd like a bean pastry.
Here you go. Enjoy.
Are there any more bean pastries?
Yes, everything is in stock.
Thank you, Madam.
Girl. It's a filthy mess out there. Come with me.
Come.
Thank you.
Girl, hiding things from an old lady over a century old isn't that simple.
What?
What I mean is you paid too many stones.
I just want to know where the Lei Family lives.
The Lei Family?
The Lei Family doesn't live in Qingyang Town.
Qingyang Town exists on Lei Family land.
There are clouds in the mountains and mountains among the clouds.
If you follow the mountains, you see the clouds.
If you follow the clouds, you'll enter the mountains.
Here's a needle and some thread. You can do the patching up yourself.
Thank you.
- What is your name? - Just call me Madam Forty-Eight.
Her father defected to the Yimo. That's how she--
No wonder the palace mistress was so strict today.
- She's Yimo spawn. - Like father, like daughter.
Look at how often she violates the mistress's orders.
I'm afraid she's just like her father, a natural-born heretic.
Stop right there.
You're going to get the Vermillion Blood Clotting Fruit.
And you're going to save your sister.
Don't die wandering out in the dark.
Qingyang Town is so big.
Finding the Yimo is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Want a bean pastry?
A bite of bean pastry is a bite of energy!
- Madam Forty-Eight! - Coming!
Hot bean pastries. A bite of bean pastry is a bite of energy!
Smell them!
- How many are there? - As many as you want.
Give me as many as you can.
All right. Hold on. Wait there!
I might not know my way around this place
but I have Yang Yuan stones.
I'll throw some bait around and have the fish in the sea find the needle for me.
Gather around! Come hither!
Hurry, get over here!
Look at all these Yang Yuan stones!
Listen up, people!
- I want to buy something from you all. - Buy something? Buy what?
I have plenty of strength!
- I'm not interested in your strength. - I have goods!
I'm not interested in your goods or belongings.
She really knows how to stir up trouble.
I hear some strange gossip has been flying around town.
That's right!
If anyone knows anything, let me know.
If I like what I hear, I'll give you all the Yang Yuan stones you want.
- I know! - I know!
- All right! - She's young but she's got a loud voice.
- One at a time! - Me first, me first!
Her childishness is kind of adorable.
Take heed. You won't be able to pluck her out of your eyes if she gets in.
Beautiful views are meant to be appreciated.
It's offensive not to take in the gods' creations.
The Yimo have come back. Our task is to find the Ancestral Emblem.
What's the rush? It isn't going to get lost, wherever it is.
Finding the person is more important right now.
A few days ago, I realized that something was wrong with our sow.
I didn't discover until yesterday that she gave birth to eight piglets!
- Eight? - Yes!
But the strangest thing is... guess what?
- What? - One of them has the face of a cat!
It's true!
Why don't you have a cat face?
Do you think we'll be able to find him?
Without a doubt.
Everything in the world comes in pairs. Good and evil exist simultaneously.
It's the way of the worlds.
As soon as the Yimo break the seal, a hero will descend upon us.
So you do remember.
We're here to look for a hero. Not a beautiful woman.
Two days ago again?
What did your sow give birth to two days ago?
My family doesn't own a sow.
- What did you say? - We really don't.
Then go ahead.
Your yank made me forget.
- Think about it. - If you like pretty ladies so much
you should grab the Ancestral Emblem and be the hero yourself.
When I gaze upon pretty ladies, I have heart, but no courage.
If I were to be the hero, I'd have courage, but no heart.
You're so strange. I have no idea what you're saying.
What's wrong with looking at a pretty girl?
Who knows?
She might be the one to lead us to the hero.
Let me! Listen to me first!
- Look at how pale her hands are. - Enough!
- One at a time! - What about mine?
- Are mine pale? - Paler than hers.
Pale, translucent, incredibly pale.
- Look here! - Here comes another one!
- Who else? - Those hands are even paler!
Two days ago, I went to Steel Wood Manor.
You're saying two days ago you were at Steel Wood Manor?
I went to watch the Fire Python Tiger fight a human.
This commotion of yours is just going to alert the enemy.
Um... Ling Qing Zhu.
What a coincidence!
I heard you were the first one to come to Qingyang Town.
What did you come here to do again?
To catch the Yimo, right?
- So? Have you caught it? - If you don't mess things up...
I should be able to soon.
Ling Qing Zhu.
I did lose at the Triple Sect Competition.
But my brain works.
You see this?
This here is called the crowd strategy!
- That's right! - Using money to sift out clues.
It's a lot more efficient than you looking on your own.
- Isn't that right? - You're right!
Then take your time.
Ling Qing Zhu!
Where are you going?
You've all talked a bunch, but you've said nothing useful.
Where are the Yimo? Where?
What is a Yimo?
I've never heard of such a thing.
What are you staring at?
Girl...
I think someone else has taken the path that you seek.
What path?
You have to use your brain when going about things.
I just heard someone say there was a strange beast at Steel Wood Manor.
The Fire Python Tiger!
I know about it!
Don't tell me that's a Yimo!
- I've never seen one before. - It must be!
Is Ling Qing Zhu on her way to Steel Wood Manor?
Thanks, Madam Forty-Eight! I'm going to take all those pastries!
She's leaving. Should we follow her?
Of course... not.
The Yimo have not yet fully materialized, so there is nothing to fear.
I'm going to look for the Ancestral Emblem.
You stay at the inn. I'm heading into the mountains.
I have to go with you.
The world is huge out there. You'd just chatter endlessly if you came.
- I-- - It's uncomfortable. I'm off.
But what if I don't...
chatter? Isn't that enough?
Faster, faster!
Move more swiftly!
Steel Wood Manor is shutting their gates after this shipment!
I'm going to make you wish you were dead
if any of you anger the second young master!
Hurry it up!
It's the Vermillion Blood Clotting Fruit.
What's going on? Quickly!
Why are you making so much noise? You lost!
No matter how much you roar, you still have to stay in this cage.
I'm going to prick you to death for all of that roaring!
Attendant Lei, your second young master needs you in the arena.
Understood!
The Yimo seems to be in the attendant's body.
Lin Dong!
