The Legend of Qin

Ge Nie and Jing Tianming are attacked in the desert. After fending the enemy troops off, Ge Nie is injured and is found, along with Tianming, by the Royal Tribe of Chu. They are then attacked by an assassin sent by Wei Zhuang.

The assassin is defeated by Ge Nie and the group takes off for an unknown area. Wei Zhuang dispatches Grey Wolf to deal with them.

After fending off the Grey Wolf assassin, Ge Nie's injuries reopen. At that time, Gao Yue(Yue Er) appears and leads them into a Mohist Manor, where Duanmu Rong, a doctor, is. Although reluctant to treat his wounds at first, she later changes her mind. Master Ban reappears in this episode, to prevent enforce the orders given by Duanmu Rong. Jing Tianming breaks Duanmu Rong's sign of the three who will not be treated.

Ge Nie has finally recovered and converses with Master Ban, regarding the insanity curse on Jing Tianming. The Qin's spies infiltrate the Mohist Manor, prompting Ge Nie, Tianming, Duanmu Rong and Yue Er to leave immediately. On the way, they are attacked by a giant bird at a cliff.

After they are stranded on the cliff, it is then revealed that Gao Yue is actually the princess of the Yan kingdom. Her father was supposedly killed by Ge Nie, and she plans to take revenge. Wei Zhuang's female assistant appears and controls Yue Er, coercing her to make Duanmu Rong kill Ge Nie. Master Ban then arrives on a mechanical giant bird, and successfully retrieves everyone except Yue Er who topples over into the cliff.

Yue Er is successfully rescued, and the truth regarding her father's death is revealed. Her father was really assassinated by Wei Zhuang and Wei Zhuang's female assistant changed the memory of Yue Er so she thought that Ge Nie was really the one who killed her father. In addition, a plot involving the assassination of the Qin Emperor is revealed to have taken place years ago, one that ultimately failed.

Tianming had a nightmare about being separated from Yue-er (a foreshadowing). When he wakes up, Ge Nie realizes that the spell on Tianming has grown stronger. At night, Yue-er, Tianming and Shaoyu began their tour in the Machinery City. Shaoyu tells the others two about the Wei Zhuang and his assasins called "Quicksand" and "Reverse Quicksand". Datiechui and his two men are attacked by Yinfu in the jungle. One of the man is killed by Yinfu, the other who runs for help is killed by someone in black. Datiechui is also in grave danger.

When Yinfu is about to kill Datiechui, he is stopped by Gao Jianli. The three children arrived at a huge gate. Yue-er says the gate leads to the Forbidden Land, a very dangerous place of excecution, but the two boys don't take it seriously. With Xuenv's help, Gao Jianli wounds Yinfu badly. Wei Zhuang makes the Qin's armies clean away the traps. One of the Mohist machinery beasts, White Tiger, confronts Gongshu Family's machinery serpent. Gao Jianli believes Ge Nie has killed Jing Ke and thus suspects him to be a spy. Gongshu Chou asks for the scroll of the traps. Master Ban is attacked.

The one in black takes the key to the secret chamber. Shaoyu sends Tianming a message, asking him to meet somewhere, but Tianming doesn't know the characters. Gao Jianli sees Tianming and remembers Jing Ke. Tianming meets Gao Jianli and asks him about his father, but Gao Jianli gives no reply. The Mohists realizes someone has entered the secret chamber and taken the scroll. Tianming and Yue-er meet Shaoyu and Master Xu's Sword-founding Pool. Tianming somehow remembers he has seen the 1st-ranked sword Tianwen(Heaven Questions), the sword of Yingzheng, and knows the sword in in the Xianyang Palace. He can't clean up his train of thoughts no matter what, the spell on him attacks and Tianming goes unconscious. Yue-er decides to try treating Tianming with her inner strength.

Yue-er is about to recover Tianming when the spell begins to counterattack and poison herself. Gongshu Chou claims he has found out the fatal weak point of the Machinery City. Duanmu Rong arrives in time and saves Yue-er and Tianming. Wei Zhuang gives a tiny bottle of poison to his spy, who disguises himself as Duanmu Rong and deceives Gao Jianli who guards the Centre Pool. Master Xun sees Ge Nie doing something to the pool and is wounded. In fact, that man is the Wei Zhuang's assasin, Heiqilin(Black Kilin). He has disuised himself as the Mohist who run for help and entered the City. He puts the poison into the water which flows everywhere and gives power to the whole city. Gao Jianli tries to kill Ge Nie but Duanmu Rong stops him.

Duanmu Rong tells Gao Jianli that she has checked all the water in the City, and somehow there's no prison at all. Ge Nie is prisoned, and Tianming is furious with the Mohists. Xuenv immobilizes him and put him into the room next to Ge Nie's. Duanmu Rong gives the Mohists leaders her unique pills that can resist any prisons for four hours just in case. At the daybreak Duanmu Rong is suddenly reminded of a poison called One Thousand Nights, the poison that never attacks unless it's exposed to sunshine. The poison became gas and the whole City is paralysed. Tianming feels painful because of the gas, and Ge Nie tries to teach him to resist. Wei Zhuang and Qin's armies began their attack.

Shaoyu and Yue-er put on protective scarfs and go through the poisonous air. They run into Heiqilin but survive by playing dead. Tianming climbs across the cliff to Ge Nie's window, Ge Nie wonders why he is not affected by the gas. Ge Nie tells him to climb to the corridor about 110 metres away. Tianming is frightened. Duanmu Rong finds Shaoyu and Yue-er, they go to Ge Nie and they're unable to set him free. Tianming has a hard time over the cliff, and alomst gets killed by the trap beside the corridor, but Shaoyu saves him by resisting the machine with his hands. Tianming now understands Ge Nie's words, and yells to tell him to take care.

Years Ago, Ying Zheng, King of Qin Kingdom, sent his armies to perish Chu, the last one of his six enemy kingdoms that stopped him from uniting China. Xiang Family, the strongest power in Chu confronted Qin's troops. Xiang's young master, Shoyu, despite his young age, fought excellently. However, because of the fierce battle machines that Gongshu Family had made for Qin, Shaoyu and Chu armies were unalbe to withstand the attack of Qin troops led by Meng Tian, and were forced to retreat. Ying Zheng finally unified China, but he knew there were still enemies watching his empire. Days ago, he sent his troops and Directionist Wei Zhuang to destroy the Machine City of Mohist School.

Years ago, the remaining Chu soldiers were caught up by Qin's troops. Shaoyu fought against Meng Tian but he was too young to win. Meng Tian told Shaoyu that he had killed Xiang Yan, Shaoyu's grandfather. When Chu's army was about to be surrounded, three Manchine White Tigers attacked Qin's troops. Gao Jianli, Xuenu, Datiechui and Daozhi came to help Shaoyu out. Hours Ago, Daozhi was trying to meet the Mohist leader to warn him about the situation in the City when he was attacked by Shaosiming(Junior Charge of Life) from Yin-yang School. The Mohist Leader and his allies were heading towards the City when they found a Mohist deciple lying on the ground. The Leader helped him up while the diciple was actually Dasiming(Senior Charge of Life) from Yin-yang School. The Leader and his friends defeated the Qin's soldiers around and Daozhi managed to meet with the Leader.

Ge Nie was stabbed from the back by Heiqilin(Black Kylin) disguising as Tianming. Though he's wounded he insists on fighting Wei Zhuang. Ge Nie and Wei Zhuang are the two students of Guigu(Ghost Valley), the Directionist School, the most mysterious school, the winner between whose two heirs has the abilities to direct the fate of every kindom under heaven. Twelve years ago, they were put into a test in which each of them was required to somehow stop two tigers running in opposite directions and save the two men tied up at the two ends of a hallway. Wei Zhuang killed the two tigers and saved one man while the other died. Yet Ge Nie managed to save neither because he tried to save both. Master Guigu told him that he would lose again if he failed to get over his kindness and become decisive.

The delayed life-and-death battle between Wei Zhuang and Ge Nie finally begins. Ge Nie uses his highest technique, the Hundred-Step Flying Sword but fails to even injure Wei Zhuang. Surprisingly, Wei Zhuang also attacks with Flying Sword that should have only belonged to Ge Nie. Ge Nie manages to wound Wei Zhuang but Wei Zhuang breaks Rainbow Abyss with the teeth of Shark Tooth. However, Ge Nie grabs the broken blade and gets Wei Zhuang under control. Wei Zhuang asks Ge Nie to kill him, but Ge Nie recalls their brotherhood and hesitates when Wei Zhuang attacks him. Ge Nie is badly wounded and falls.

Two months ago, Tianming was very hostile to Ge Nie because he thought it was Ge Nie's fought that he was chased by killers. After Ge Nie's betrayl, Ying Zheng and his minister Li Si decided to unleash a fearful prisoner named Shengqi to kill Ge Nie. Shengqi attacked Ge Nie and Tianming. Their carriage was stuck between cliffs and about to fall, but Tianming did not trust Ge Nie and refused to get out. Shengqi chopped the carriage into pieces, Ge Nie held Tianming in his arms and jumped off the cliff. After landing safely, he protected Tianming from the falling carriage with his body and got hurt. Tianming realized he was wrong and begged for Ge Nie's forgiveness in tears. Ge Nie was deeply comforted with Tianming's trust.

Ge Nie killed a number of assasins. Tianming was fascinated by his power and wished to learn from him to kill the assasins. Ge Nie told Tianming that one should never try to become powerful just to kill the others. He wrote the character "Chivalrous" (侠 xia）. He told Tianming the left part was a character "man" which meant the behavior of a man; the right was a big man carrying two small, so this character meant "the strong helping the weak". In the Machine City, Ge Nie wakes up and tells Tianming to be strong. Tianming cries grievedly, saying he can't lose his Uncle. Ge Nie thanks Tianming for his trust and understanding before he goes unconscious again. Tianming is furious with Wei Zhuang and the Mohists. Gao Jianli apologizes for misunderstanding Ge Nie before, and vows to protect Tianming and Ge Nie. Wei Zhuang catches Tianming and arranges three one-on-one battles. Only if the Mohists can win two of the three will Tianming be saved.
