Zu Warriors (蜀山傳)

Always a mountain higher, a horizon more distant.

The universe in its vastness,

is forever changing.

The Zu mountain ranges in Sichuan, China,

are famous for their lofty crags and jagged peaks.

It is said that elves and spirits live here.

There are many legends in these parts.

One of these are about immortals

possessing supernatural powers.

They fly on their swords, chase the wind and the stars.

They tune their minds and bodies

in search of the eternal truths of the universe,

so that Man and Nature can be one.

Remember, Omei students,

never succumb to greed and jealousy.

That's the beginning of all evil.

During my recent training,

I could feel a strong force working against us.

I could hear cries of horror which filled me

with a sense of foreboding.

The evil forces could be attempting another assault

Omei being the leading school in these mountains,

we must be prepared

for a surprise attack.

We safeguard peace and order in the Zu mountains.

Look at the aura over Omei.

They have a great following,

unlike us,

there's only you and me here.

The tradition in Kun Lun is based on yin and yang.

The sun and moon represent Kun Lun,

hence there's only been one teacher one student.

King Sky, how long have you studied with me?

200 years.

200 years...How time flies.

Yet I haven't been able to change.

I still miss my teacher

after all these years.

I'm still affected by emotions,

that's why my training cannot progress.

I don't want you to end up like me.

You have to leave me.

This is my weapon the Moon Orb.

I can't finish this thing, You must do it.

Don't come back until you've mastered it.

If I'm not here when you come back,

the Moon Orb will find me.

It'll bring you to me.

The Sun and Moon Orbs are the protectors of Kun Lun

if the evil force invades...

what will you do?

My destiny depends on your success. Go now!

I'll worry about that when it happens.

500 years ago, Insomnia destroyed the Wah Shan Clan

300 years after that, the Kun Lun.

And now, he's targeting Omei.

The battle between good and evil is eternal.

But Insomnia is moving sooner than we expected

We must evacuate all innocent humans nearby.

Right now, two armies are at war nearby.

Insomnia means business, there will be a major conflict

Go and evacuate the armies now,

get them as far away from here as possible.

Yes, sir, at once.

I'll be back as soon as I can.

Red, it's been a long time.

King Sky, you've beaten me to it.

In your clan, everything must go through the system

One can never act without instructions.

Frankly, I'm surprised you're here at all.

If Insomnia hadn't destroyed Kun Lun 200 years ago,

you'd probably be in the same position.

Anyway, a war is inevitable.

How would you judge insomnia's strength?

Omei is the last line of defense.

As Insomnia has made a move, he can't be bluffing.

From what I've seen on my way here,

he is many times more powerful than before.

In that case, we must evacuate those troops first.

The path ahead has suddenly changed into a cliff.

There were ghostly cries

coming from 3 miles away.

This is just a ploy. They won't scare us off.

We must forge ahead at all costs!

Yes, sir!

Pioneers!

Sir!

Captain Lo and Captain Tai.

Sir!

Go with my daughter as the advance party.

Sir!

Hurry up, we're moving out!

You saw what happened. This is beyond your powers.

Remove your heavy armour,

and get as far away from here as you can.

We're soldiers. We're scared of nothing!

Just who do you think you are! Arrest them!

- Execute them! - Sir!

You have no idea who you're dealing with.

Do you know who that is?

That's Insomnia, an extremely powerful force!

There's no time to argue.

This evil monster is very close now,

by the time you see him you'll all be dead!

You've shown up at last.

You two are nothing! I'm not interested in fighting with you.

So this is what you look like.

Go on, fight!

You'll never conquer your own demons.

Anyway, you just don't have what it takes,

and nobody can help you with that.

Whitebrows! You're a hypocrite

sending two beginners as cannon fodder.

Your disciples don't know the true face

that's hidden behind that facade of righteousness!

Heaven and Thunder Swords, 7 Saints and 300 Castles

will follow me to fight evil at Conch Valley!

Sir!

The Sky Reflector!

King Sky! Red!

Insomnia!

Red, he's escaped using your sword.

Follow the Sky Reflector!

The Sky Reflector points to this spot,

Insomnia must be nearby.

Heaven Strikes!

Thunder Fires!

It's big brother!

Grand Master!

Grand Master!

Who's that?

A friend from Kun Lun, I think.

Insomnia's over there!

He's up there!

He's trying to suck you in!

What's in there?

Its power overcame both Heaven and Thunder swords

they were almost sucked in.

I believe this must be the Blood Cave

that many great masters have searched for.

I now realize what Insomnia is up to.

He's used our power

to open the Blood Cave.

If he's able to obtain the power within,

none of us would be his match.

We were wrong about Insomnia,

he didn't start an early attack on Omei,

it's only starting now.

Let me go in and kill him!

I'll go!

No. Your two swords are the guardians of Omei,

if you're trapped in there, Omei will be finished.

The 7 of us can go!

If something does happen to us

it won't put your plans in jeopardy.

We knew once we're in here,

it won't be easy to get out.

I suggest we split up.

Whoever finds Insomnia waits here.

We're not leaving here until we find him.

If one of us is possessed by the demon,

we must agree that the other will not hesitate.

He must kill him!

Don't worry, I agree.

Though very old friends are we.

Still we must part.

Keep watch outside the cave.

No matter what happens in there, don't use weapons.

Just wait here, I'll try to rescue them.

Remember, conserve your power!

The Sky Reflector!

Red! King Sky!

The Sky Reflector...

It's been sucked away! What now?

The cave is closing up! Get out of here!

It's like a maze inside the cave,

how far in do you think it goes?

Since he's gone in there, it probably stretches

all the way to the base of the Zu mountains.

We don't have much time, let's split up.

Red!

Yes, sir.

You have experience of the power in the cave,

and you've had more training than others,

so I want you to guard the entrance.

If you see anything, inform Omei at once.

If anyone or anything tries to come out, kill it!

I'm the head student in Omei,

I'll take up the first line of defense!

King Sky, though you're not from Omei,

this is the survival of everyone on the mountains.

Please inform Point Nirvana and all other clans,

tell them to guard their own energy force

to make sure it doesn't dissipate.

It's my duty to destroy this monster! I'll go now.

I didn't think we'd get out alive.

I hope we'll be able to work together again.

We are.

We just split up as we did before.

Come back soon, we need you!
