Thankfully, Zhang WuJi's inner power is without equal. In the critical moment, he held his breath, then forced out the small amount of poison in his body with his chi. Had he had less inner strength, or didn't react fast enough, then it would be him on the ground rather than XianYu Tong. After reading Wang NanGu's Book of Poisons*, he knows just how powerful this golden bug poison is. So he quickly blocked off the circulation of the poison into his body. Zhang WuJi thought to himself, "I do have to save him, but I need him to confess his crimes first." So he says, "I can make the antidote, but you have to answer my questions first. If you lie, I'll just leave you here, letting you to endure seven days and seven nights of pain before dying."

XianYu Tong, despite his pain, can still hear clearly. He thought, "Back then, that Miao girl also said that I'll be in pain for seven days and seven nights. How can this little kid know this too?" But he still doesn't believe that Zhang WuJi can possibly cure his poison, and said, "You… can't cure me." Zhang WuJi closed the fan and pointed at his waist. "If I make a cut here, and apply the right medicine, then you'll be saved." XianYu Tong immediately responds, "You're… you're…right." Zhang WuJi then asks, "Have you done anything you felt guilty about in life?" XianYu Tong says, "N… no." Zhang WuJi says, "Fine, have it your way." XianYu Tong hurriedly added, "Wait… I'll say it." But after all, he is in front of his peers. So the words obviously have trouble coming out.

Suddenly, two people came out from the Hua Shan sect, one tall one short, both look around fifty, their hands holding large sabers. Walking in front of Zhang WuJi, the short old man says, "Mr. Zeng, you can kill us Hua Shan people, but you can't play around with us. It's not heroic to do such a thing to our Master XianYu." Zhang WuJi put together his fists and bowed, asking, "And your names are?" The short old man says, "You're not worthy of asking for my name." He bent down and about to carry XianYu Tong back, but Zhang WuJi quickly pushed him out of the way saying, "His body is filled with poison. If you even touch him, you'll be poisoned too. I suggest you be careful in the future." That short man froze for a second, and shuddered. Only to hear XianYu Tong scream, "Hurry and save me… save me… Bai Yuan… Brother Bai… I used this poison to kill him… but that's it…."

When he said this, everyone's face in the Hua Shan sect turned pale. The short man asked, "You killed Bai Yuan? This is the truth? Then why do you say the Ming sect killed him?" XianYu Tong screams, "Brother Bai… please don't do that…" "Brother Bai, I know you died a horrible death, but why did you blackmail me back then… You had to speak about Ms. Hu in front of the master. You know master would never forgive me for that. I … I had to silence you. Please… forgive me…" He then continued, "I killed you, so I had to blame it on the Ming sect. But…. But I burnt so much money for you, I took care of your wife, kids, and parents…" Although the sun shines brightly on the square, everyone's hearts were filled with coldness upon hearing this. The people in the Hua Shan sect who knew Bai Yuan were even more shocked. Zhang WuJi also didn't expect this response. He originally wanted XianYu Tong to speak about Lady Hu, not his own martial brother. But Zhang WuJi didn't know that since Hu QingYang committed suicide, XianYu Tong, with his playboy personality, never felt all that badly about it. But he did kill Bai Yuan with his own hand, and with the same poison that's in him now. So he felt like Bai Yuan's ghost has come seeking for revenge.

Zhang WuJi doesn't know who Bai Yuan is, but from XianYu Tong's words, he can tell that the blame was put on the Ming sect. Most likely this is the reason why the Hua Shan sect came to Brightness Peak today. So he yells in the Hua Shan direction, "Listen to me, people of Hua Shan. Your elder Bai was not killed by the Ming sect. Please do not take out your revenge on the wrong people."

That tall old man waved his sword up, about to bring it down on XianYu Tong. But Zhang WuJi lightly flicked his saber back with a finger, bouncing it back. That tall old man said, "This is a traitor of Hua Shan. How can we let him live?" Zhang WuJi says, "I promised that I'll cure him, so I will. You can do what you want with him later."

That short old man says, "Brother, he's right." He then swiftly kicked XianYu in the back, sending him flying, finally falling down in front of the Hua Shan group. Although XianYu Tong has many loyal disciples, none would dare catch him due to the poison.

That short old man says to Zhang WuJi, "We are the martial uncles of XianYu Tong. Today you have resolved a big problem within the Hua Shan sect. For this, we thank you!" Both of them then bowed, as Zhang WuJi quickly returned the favor, saying, "It's ok. It's ok." The short man then pulled out his saber and says loudly, "But you have ruined the reputation of the Hua Shan sect. For this, my brother and I will fight you to the death!" The tall man also says, "Yes, we shall fight you the death." Oddly enough, he's much taller and bigger, but he seemingly follows the shorter old man's orders. Zhang WuJi says, "Which sect hasn't had a bad apple in its history? Your reputation won't be affected by one person." The tall old man says, "You think so?" Zhang WuJi says, "Yes." The tall old man says, "Big brother, in that case, let's just forget about it." He makes it sounds like he respects Zhang WuJi, but in reality, he fears Zhang WuJi's ability. But the short old man says, "First we take care of outside enemies, then we take care of inside problems. If we don't kill him today, where's the face of our Hua Shan sect?" The tall man says, "Fine. Little kid, I hope you don't object to us fighting you two on one. If you do, then just admit defeat now." The short man raised his eyebrows, says, "Brother, what are you…" Zhang WuJi responds, "That's fine with me. If you two lose, then Hua Shan cannot further harass the Ming sect today." The tall man, ecstatic with the response, yelled, "If both of us fight you, then you can't possibly win. We have a special double saber art. Its power is unlimited, capable of sweeping thousands of enemies. So you're definitely going to lose. But of course, it's too late to take back your words now." Zhang WuJi says, "Of course I won't take back my words. So please be lenient with me, elders." The tall old man says, "My saber is never lenient. When we use this double saber technique, we become more and more powerful, until the power cannot be stopped. I can see that you're not a bad person, so I'm feeling a bit sad that you'll have to die." The short old man yelled, "Geez. Can you stop yapping for a minute?" The tall old man says, "Sure, but I have to remind him, this double saber art is a reverse technique, different from normal techniques…" The short old man cuts in, "Shut up!" He turns towards Zhang WuJi and says, "I'm coming!" Followed by slashing his saber towards Zhang WuJi. Zhang WuJi blocked the blow with XianYu Tong's fan, which prompted the tall old man to say, "Hey, hey! We can't compete like this! This fan is too poisonous. We have to get rid of it before someone gets hurt."
