The Flame's Daughter (烈火如歌)

"Like a Song" by Jason Zhang

Tell me, what's going on?! You tell me.

What's this about?

Sect Leader Lie.

- Sect Leader Lie. - Everyone, hello.

Amituofuo.

- If not because of Sect Leader Lie, we would have been trapped inside Swordless City. - That's right.

Everyone, please sit down.

Today, I asked everyone to come to tell you about the Snap Thunder case.

Sect Leader Lie, I have a question I want to ask you.

Abbot, please say it.

This case was handled by Flaming Hills before.

And now, it's also your sect that's reversing the verdict. Why is that so?

That's right...

The people who tried the case before was your people, and the ones overturning it now is yours too.

This...we all are very confused.

For these past 2 years, a lot of changes happened in Flaming Hills.

This case was given a wrong verdict before.

Wrong verdict?

What? It was wrong?

That's why,

I asked everyone to come here today to clear Old Sect Leader Xie's reputation.

But the material evidences from before is gone.

will the witnesses change their testimony?

The material evidences are indeed gone,

but Zhan Feng is an important witness,

for he witnessed everything that happened that time.

He was the one who tried this case before.

Yes. That's why, he knew about the truth of this case better than anyone else.

Senior Brother Zhan, please say it.

The summary of what happened is actually like this.

Watch where you're going.

Miss, what's wrong?

Let me assist you to my house to rest for a while. Okay?

Come.

Be careful.

Drink some water.

If there's any problem, try to be more open-minded.

That time, I was bewitched by others, concealed this matter, and wronged everyone.

That time, I was bewitched by others, concealed this matter, and wronged everyone.

I also wronged Old Sect Leader.

Amituofuo...

Now that Dao Wuxia is dead,

it can be said that he deserved the punishment.

Oh, right, Sect Leader Lie, how were you able to escape danger last night?

It's all thanks to Senior Brother Zhan.

I'll detonate the bombs, you all just keep watch outside.

- Kill anyone who will try to escape. - Yes.

Zhan Feng?

Why are you here?

Yi Lang, do you think your evil scheme will work?

Evil scheme?

What evil scheme?

Today, I'm here to get your life.

-Go! - Close the doors!

Zhan Feng, you already destroyed one of my leg.

Isn't that enough?!

You killed my father.

I'll take your life in return.

Your death is nothing to be regretted about.

Senior Zhan!

Let him go to Ping'an Town.

You want me to release him?!

Yes.

Hall Leader Zhongli, follow him.

He surely will go in front of the noodle house in Ping'an Town.

Yes.

Why did you let him go?

For a good-hearted person.

Recently, I've been investigating past incidents.

I accidentally learned about Yi Lang's real identity.

Isn't he an orphan?

No. He got kidnapped by human traffickers.

His real mother is Aunt Huang of Ping'an Town.

Why didn't he go back and reunite with his mother?

Maybe he didn't want to let go of the noble address of 'godson of the Sect Leader.'

Maybe he didn't want to let go of the noble address of 'godson of the Sect Leader.'

Aunt Huang was nice to me.

Let the two of them see each other for the last time.

Owner, don't be afraid anymore.

It's now fine.

Starting today, you're now dead in the eyes of the people of Swordless City.

Hurry and escape for your life. Don't let them discover you.

Thank you. Thank you, Sect Leader Lie.

Senior Zhan, take this man away.

I'll detonate the bombs.

Okay. I'll give you a member as a witness.

- See you tomorrow. - See you tomorrow.

It was like that...

- So, this is what happened. - We almost fell into the trap of Dark River and Swordless City.

That's right...

Dark River reemerged in jianghu and started to help the citizens.

I even thought that...oh, my, amituofuo...

Just leave Dark River to me.

How do you plan to handle them?

Senior Brother and I already have plans for it.

What everyone should do is to patiently wait.

Once the power of Dark River has collapsed,

I want to ask everyone to help me annihilate their remaining forces.

Okay. We'll then wait for Sect Leader Lie's good news.

Okay. I'll wait for your good news.

Sect Leader Lie, just one order and we'll take care of those remaining forces.

Okay. Right.

Thanks.

Today, thank you Sect Leader Lie for saving us.

See you again in the next Martial Arts Society Conference.

I will take my leave now.

- Take care. Everyone, take care. - Goodbye.

Goodbye...

I'll also take my leave now.

Senior Brother Zhan, take care.

Old Sect Leader, Deputy Sect Leader, Xiaofeng,

I finally cleared your name.

Earlier, you showed a bit of Old Sect Leader Lie's graceful bearing.

Of course.

I've seen how my father bluffed since I was little.

I've long learned it.

Hall Leader Zhongli.

Sect Leader.

Get me a fire basin and some paper money.

Yes.

- Sect Leader Lie. - Lady Feng Huang.

Dao Liexiang has left.

I've expected it.

I was afraid that she will get depressed.

The Dao family also has no more servants.

I beg Sect Leader to take care of her in behalf of Lei Jinghong.

Lady, thanks for your concern.

Who made Lei Jinghong such a hopeless romantic?

Even if you don't say it, I will also do the same thing.

Hall Leader Zhongli, arrange for some of our men

to follow Lady Feng Huang to a place and protect her day and night.

Yes.

Thank you, Sect Leader.

Lei Jinghong, wake up!

How long have you been staying here?

That's enough!

Don't bother with me.

You haven't sought vengeance yet, so why are you here and not returning to Thunderbolt Clique?!

Liexiang is gone...

If you want to repent, go in front of her to repent.

I can't find her.

Drink. Drink. Drink. Why don't you die drinking then!

Your father giving you life is all in vain!

I'll take you to see her.

Where is she?

I'll take you there.

Miss Dao, are you leaving?

It's still raining.

Wife! My wife!

Don't call me that.

I won't call you then.

- Where are you going? - Going home.

- Sworldess City? - Yes.

I was blind and married the wrong man. I'm going to ask for punishment.

With whom are you going to seek punishment from?

Liexiang, you're the only one left in your Dao family.

With whom are you asking for punishment?

That's right.

Stop saying right, right.

The Dao clan has existed for so many years.

Now, I'm the only one left.

I am going home to bear all the responsibilities.

Liexiang. Our sects are at odds with each other like water and fire.

If you leave, we'll become bitter enemies from now on.

You and I are bitter enemies to begin with.

Liexiang...!

Stop chasing.

I'm worried that she'll get in trouble.

No need to worry.

Lie Ruge has sent men to secretly protect her.

That's good then...

Ruge is really a loyal friend.

Yi Lang, Dao Wuxia, there's one more lacking.

It's Lei Jinghong.

Where is Lei Jinghong?

Why didn't you kill him?

He's Ruge's good friend.

Were you afraid to hurt your love?

Yes.

Okay.

I will not blame you.

I think that Third Sect Leader has deeper relations with the Lei family than anyone.

She's the best person to do this.

I also have the same intention.

Thunderbolt Clique is already not as it was before. They are now not—

Not a threat to me?

Yes.

I'm not afraid for them to threaten me.

His life is my test to you.

Sect Leader surely know about my feelings for you.

You have never disobeyed me.

I didn't kill you when you let the woman I love the most escape.

I also didn't kill you when you let Lei Jinghong escape last time.

This is your last chance.

Bring his head to see me.

Yes.

Mother, are you really going?
