Su Xing He,
I knew something strange was going on with this chess tournament. Tell me.
Where did you send the little monk to?
You have been kicked out of the sect.
Why should I tell you what is going on in our sect?
Audacious! Please stop harming people.
Su Xing He,
your martial arts skills were incomparable to mine.
Why do you think you can beat me now?
Old Fairy of Xingxiu has infinite dharma power
and powerful divine power that can shock the entire Central Plains!
- What's wrong, Fourth Brother? - Before we were captured,
all of us have been poisoned by Ding Chun Qiu.
The poison must be taking effect now.
- Second Junior Brother. - The same is happening to me now.
Run quick!
No... It can't be Master.
Iron Head, strike him now.
Fourth Brother Feng, are you all right?
Apologies
for giving all of you a shock.
We have something to discuss in the sect.
Apologies for not being able to see you off.
Little Master, please follow me.
Master, you have
left me alone in this world.
Master.
My condolences.
Younger Martial Brother, did you know that this gem ring
is an emblem of the sect leader?
Tell me.
Did Master take it off from his finger and put it on for you himself?
Yes.
Ding Chun Qiu and I have been eyeing this ring
for decades.
Yet...
Yet, you managed to gain Master's appreciation
in just two hours.
You can keep this ring if you really want it.
This ring is useless to me.
Our late master entrusted it to you at his death bed.
How could you shirk your responsibility?
I...
Tell me.
Did Master entrust this ring to you and ask you to kill that renegade Ding Chun Qiu?
Yes. But I have poor martial arts skills.
It is beyond my ability to shoulder such a heavy responsibility.
Su...
Younger Martial Brother, you are new here. You may not know it.
Our sect, the Carefree Sect, has a rule.
Any disciples with powerful martial arts skills
stand a chance to succeed as the sect leader.
There were three disciples in Master's generation.
He was the second eldest.
However, he possessed the most powerful martial arts skills amongst them.
Hence, he succeeded as the sect leader.
But in my generation, Master only accepted
Ding Chun Qiu and me as his disciples.
He had even changed the rule.
Anyone who wants to succeed as the sect leader
must compete their skills with each other.
We not only need to compete in martial arts but also in zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting.
But Ding Chun Qiu does not know any of these miscellaneous skills.
Since he would never succeed as the sect leader,
he started to plot against Master.
He had not only thrown Master off into the deep valley
but also caused me severe injuries.
In this case, Mr. Ding did not kill you back then
because of...
Never ever think that he spared my life
because he had a split second of benevolence.
Firstly, he would never breakthrough
the Qi Men Dun Jia and Five Elements Eight Trigrams I had laid down.
Secondly,
I told him that...
Su Xing He,
are you thinking that your Qi Men Dun Jia and Five Elements Eight Trigrams
can harm me?
Fine. Just wait and witness
how I will break your formations today.
Ding Chun Qiu, although you plotted against Master
and that my martial arts skills are incomparable to yours,
you still have not grasped the most advanced martial arts skills
of the Carefree Sect.
Do you want to learn the Divine Art of the Northern Darkness?
Do you want to take a look at Minute Steps Upon Towering Waves,
as well as Six Solar Palms of Tianshan and Minor Formless Skill?
Su Xing He,
if you hand over these secrets to me today,
I, Ding Chun Qiu, will spare your life.
How would I have these secrets with me?
However, I know where Master is keeping these secrets.
If you want to kill me, please go ahead then.
The secrets...
The secrets are kept by the shore of the Xingxiu Sea.
Do you think I am clueless?
It is indeed at the shore of the Xingxiu Sea.
Find it now if you have such capability.
It will take a very long time
to locate the martial arts secrets at this Xingxiu Sea that stretches out
over thousands of miles.
Forget it.
Su Xing He, I can spare your life today.
But from now on,
you must pretend to be deaf and mute for life.
You must never divulge the secrets of our sect to anyone.
If you go back on your words,
don't blame me for not being considerate of my fellow martial brother.
He spared my life so he could force a confession out of me easily.
Those martial arts secrets are not at the Xingxiu Sea.
Ding Chun Qiu settled down at the shore of the Xingxiu Sea.
He had turned over almost every piece of stone
but still couldn't find the martial arts secrets.
I guess he is here today to ask me about it again.
Since he sensed that there was no hope,
he vented his anger by killing me.
Younger Martial Brother, did Master instruct you to find a person
or give you a map?
He gave me this painting.
Take a look.
Isn't she Miss Wang?
Why is there a painting of Miss Wang?
What else did Master say when he passed you this scroll?
Master said that I won't be able to take down Ding Chun Qiu with my current martial arts skills.
He asked me to take this scroll to Wuliang Mountain in Dali
and look for the martial arts secrets he has collected all these years
and practice my skills further.
Why is the lady in the painting Miss Wang?
Master's actions were always unpredictable.
