Clan of the White Lotus (洪文定三破白蓮教)

Taoist White Brows!

Upon Taoist White Brows' death at the hands of Hung Man-Ting and Wu Ah-Biu,

Wu Ah-Biu along with many Shaolin disciples were put in prison,

arousing outrage amongst the populace.

The Imperial Court, therefore, ordered the release of the Shaolin disciples.

Arrival of Imperial Edict!

By the Mandate of Heaven, the Emperor decrees:

Commander of the Two Expanses, Ko Chun-Chung,

will execute with immediacy these imperial orders

by method of his own discretion.

The previous dynasty's sanction on the restoration of the Shaolin Temple

has now been lifted and restoration is permitted.

Furthermore, of the rebels who conspired a coup,

batches one and two of these ethnic Han criminals will be released.

Observe the sentiment of the people; do not betray my intentions.

This, the will of the Emperor, shall be done!

[BY IMPERIAL DECREE, HAN PRISONERS TO BE RELEASED]

Hey, look at this!

- Come take a look! - Look!

Wu Ah-Biu?

My lord.

Arrival of his excellency, the Provincial Commander!

Arrival of his excellency, the Provincial Commander!

- My lord. - Where is Martial Uncle?

Upstairs.

What do you want from me?

I bow in greeting, Martial Uncle.

Martial Uncle, you have to help me this time.

The Emperor has ordered the release of the Shaolin followers.

Moreover, they are permitted to restore Shaolin.

With this... I will not be able to avenge Master White Brows.

I hope Martial Uncle will lend me his strength,

and send some men to exterminate these Shaolin dregs in secret.

Otherwise, their momentum will only continue to grow.

This heralds disaster for the White Lotus and for you, Martial Uncle.

Sister-in-law Biu! Siu-Ching!

Hey, the government's releasing prisoners.

Sister-in-law Biu...!

Sister-in-law Biu.

Man-Ting, such familiarity even though I'm not married yet.

What is it? Why were you causing a ruckus out there?

Sister-in-law Biu, the government's releasing prisoners.

- Releasing prisoners? - That's right. - What about my brother, then?!

They'll be letting him go, of course.

How wonderful!

- I'd never have thought... - I can see my family again!

What luck!

I'd never have guessed I'd live to go home.

Brother Tong? Just let me down over there.

Alright, easy now.

Thank you.

Brother Tong, let's part ways here.

My home's just beneath the foot of the mountain.

You should all be on your way too.

Don't worry about me.

Brother Biu, it was so we'd all be spared that those lap dogs tormented you so...

We have to see you home safely.

That's right! What he said!

Actually...

they already knew it was Hung Man-Ting and I who killed Bak Mei the Taoist.

They had a grudge to bear.

So they took this opportunity to cripple me.

It had nothing to do with you.

Brother Biu, you lost your leg in order to save all of us.

Just say the word, and we'll be there!

When my leg recovers, I will definitely join your cause,

and exterminate these inhumane lap dogs!

Brother Biu, let us part ways here, then.

Take good care of yourself.

We'll meet again!

We'll meet again!

Sister-in-law Biu, are you alright?

- I'm alright. - Let's hurry up, then.

- Brother Biu! - Big Brother!

Brother Biu...!

I'll be a dad soon.

Brother Biu, your leg...?

My leg is fine. Let's go home first.

- Brother Biu. Here, let's go. - Big Brother.

Alright, then. Let's go home.

We're really lucky this time, huh?

I haven't seen my family in so long!

I never thought I'd live to go home!

Die!

Die!

They all carked it...

Hey! Did you see Wu Ah-Biu?!

Didn't see him!

Come. Come. Drink.

- Cheers! - Drink. Drink.

- Cheers. - Cheers. Cheers...

Brother Biu.

What a blessing that we can be together as a family.

Brother Biu? You and Sister-in-law can share the joy of being a family now.

But as for Siu-Ching and I...

Man-Ting, you can rest assured.

Siu-Ching is all grown up now.

Brother Biu will make arrangements, of course.

As soon as we become husband and wife, we'll all be family.

Brother Biu can't use his leg.

And you're now with child.

Siu-Ching and I can give you a hand.

Siu-Ching? Let's drink to Brother and Sister-in-law Biu.

Drink.

Siu-Ching, go back to your room.

- Brother Biu... - Who are you looking for?!

Little Sister, be careful of the flames!

Hurry up, let's help!

Sister-in-law!

Wu's Junior, we'll save you!

Martial Brother Wu, what's going on here?!

The Imperial Court must've sent them to eliminate us!

The Qing Court is so unjust... We'll take their lives!

- Sister-in-law! - Mei-Ha, are you hurt?!

Brother Biu... I'm fine...

Little Sister, take care of Sister-in-law. We'll retreat as we fight!

Siu-Ching, we'll go inside and pack some clothes...

Halt!

Oh... so it's the White Lotus Sect's hermetic Taoist Master White Lotus!

Taoist Master White Lotus,

there have never been grievances between Shaolin and the White Lotus.

Why have you attacked us?!

Have the two of you forgotten that you killed my junior, Taoist White Brows?

Oh... I understand now.

So it was Ko Chun-Chung who incited you to come here!

Enough talk.

Wu Ah-Biu. Hung Man-Ting.

I, Taoist White Lotus, have come here today

to experience your abilities for myself.

Fine, I'll teach you, then!

Brother Biu, you can't use your leg.

Leave him to me!

Your Shaolin blade is only good for gutting fish.

Actually, who needs a blade to finish off you people?

You really want to run off that badly, huh?

I'll let you take seven steps.

Run. Run.

Run.

Run. Run. Run...

One.

Two.

Three.

Four.

Five.

Six.

Seven.

Brother Biu! Tiger and Crane Double Form!

Leave it to me!

Tiger and Crane Cry Together.

My leg can't keep up! Take Sister-in-law and run!

Brother Biu, you--

Why are you still here?!

Wipe out every last one of them!

Take that!

Your crippled crane can only peck at dead fish and dead prawns.

Your Shaolin Fist can't even touch my clothes.

How pathetic!

Brother Biu!

Brother Biu...!

Big Brother...!

Why are you still here?!

Take Sister-in-law and go, now!

Siu-Ching, you--

Don't worry about me. I have to avenge my brother!

Siu-Ching!

Why are you still here?!

Little girl...

where have they gone?

In here!

Leave no stone unturned!

Sister-in-law Biu, I'm worried about Siu-Ching.

Why don't we head home and check up on her?

They have strength in numbers...

Siu-Ching will have more trouble than fortune.

How about we lay low for now, work out what to do later?

In that case...

Where can we hide?

I have a relative in Wai On Town.

Let's ask them for help.

Alright.

Here.

- Drink. - Martial Uncle.

Come, come, come. Let us drink.

Martial Uncle, I raise my glass to you.

- Come, come, come. - Drink.

It was only with Martial Uncle's support that we could accomplish our plan.

Most unfortunate though...

that Hung Man-Ting managed to escape.

Tiger and Crane Double Form is absolutely nothing to me.

What's more, the crippled crane is now dead.

Nevertheless, your dead master,

my junior, White Brows, has been properly avenged.

The Master's words ring true.

Martial Uncle, I fear those surviving dregs will...

Put your mind at ease.

Hung Man-Ting has the same temperament as his father, Hung Hei-Gun.

Sooner or later, he'll come personally knocking on death's door.

Keep with our original plan,

and continue the extermination of the Shaolin disciples!

Understood.
