Wang Baobao's and Zhao Min's subordinates were trying to stop Zhang Wuji, but Yu Lianzhou, He Taichong, Ban Shuxian and the others blocked them. One more person jumped down from the Pagoda meant one more person was protecting Zhang Wuji. Ever since these people were being held captives by Zhao Min, they had suffered innumerable humiliations and a lot of them even lost their fingers. This time they were freed from their bondage, all of them were staking whatever they have, venting their anger. In a short moment the ground around the Pagoda was littered by more than twenty warriors' corpses.

Seeing the unfavorable situation, Wang Baobao issued an order, "Get my special archer force over here!"

Captain Ha was just turning his body around to carry out the Young Prince's order when he saw the sky toward the southeast corner was bright with fire. He was shocked and immediately called out, "Xiao Wangye, the Palace is on fire! We must hurry to save Wangye!"

Wang Baobao was concerned over his father's safety, he could not be bothered by catching or killing some rebelling thieves. "Meizi, [younger sister – term of endearment]" he hastily said, "I am going back to the Palace. You must be careful!" Without waiting for Zhao Min to answer he turned his horse around and galloped away to the exit.

As Wang Baobao left, the Eighteen Buddha Warriors followed; as did most of the palace guards. They saw the Palace was on fire and thought that a large number of rebels had attacked the Palace, they were very anxious; nobody guessed it was a trick played by Wei Yixiao, one person.

Meanwhile Song Qingshu, Song Yuanqiao, Zhang Songxi, Mo Shenggu, and the others had jumped down from the Pagoda. Very soon the situation was reversed, the warriors were outnumbered. A little later Kong Wen Fang Zhang [Abbot Kong Wen], Kong Zhi Dashi [Reverend Kong Zhi], as well as the senior monks from the Damo Hall and Luohan Hall had also jumped down. Zhao Min's warriors lost any chance to gain victory.

Zhao Min thought that if they did not escape now, they would change from captors to captives. Therefore, immediately she issued an order, "Everybody, get out of Wan An Temple!" Turning toward Zhang Wuji she said, "At dusk tomorrow, I will be waiting for you to have some drinks. I hope you'll come."

Zhang Wuji was startled; but before he could answer Zhao Min flashed one of her captivating smiles, and hurriedly retreated toward the hall at the rear of the Wan An Temple.

He heard Fan Yao, still on top of the Pagoda, shouted loudly, "Miss Zhao, quickly jump! Your eyebrows are burned. You don't want to jump, do you want to be a beautiful-woman charcoal?"

"I want to be with Shifu!" Zhou Zhiruo replied.

In the meantime, Miejue Shitai was still in fierce battle against He Biweng. When the floor they were on was burned down, they jumped to the higher floor. Very soon they were fighting in the room at the corner of the tenth floor. Her internal energy had not 100% recovered, but from the beginning she had disregarded her life by concentrating all her strength in offense without thinking about defense at all. On the other hand, He Biweng was first of all anxious over his martial brother's safety, so he could not focus his attention to the battle. Secondly, his previous injury from Zhang Wuji's palm had not been healed completely. Thirdly, he had just recovered from the poison administered by Fan Yao, plus his acupoints were sealed for quite a long time, his limbs were not as agile as at normal time. Therefore, the two of them fought for a long time without clear winner or loser.

Miejue Shitai heard her disciple's voice; "Zhiruo," she called out, "Quickly jump down! Don't mind me! This old thief has humiliated me too much, how can I let him live?"

He Biweng was groaning inwardly, he thought, "This old nun is disregarding her own life fighting me; while I must save my martial brother. Must I lose my life together with her in this hell hole?" He shouted loudly, "Miejue Shitai, it was Ku Toutuo who said that, what do I have to do with it?"

Miejue Shitai held her palm and turned around, "Stinky Toutuo, was it you who said all those crazy talk?" she asked Fan Yao.

Fan Yao was amused, he deliberately asked, "What crazy talk?" He wanted Miejue Shitai to say it with her own mouth, 'He said that I am your old sweetheart, and that Zhou Zhiruo is our daughter.' But how could she say such thing? However, hearing Fan Yao's answer, Miejue Shitai knew He Biweng was telling the truth. She was so angry that her body trembled.

As Miejue Shitai was turning her back toward him, suddenly a burst of black smoke rolled in; He Biweng saw this was a good opportunity to launch a sneak attack. Thereupon amidst the smoke he launched a palm strike toward Miejue Shitai's back.

Zhou Zhiruo and Fan Yao saw it clearly; they shouted together, "Shifu, watch out!" "Old Nun, watch out!”

Miejue Shitai quickly struck her left palm backward to counterattack, but He Biweng's yin-yang palms had already arrived. Her left palm blocked He Biweng's left palm, but her back was struck by his right-hand Xuanming Shen Zhang [Xuanming Divine Palm]. This Xuanming Divine Palm was the exact same palm he exchanged with Zhang Sanfeng at Mount Wudang a few years back. Miejue Shitai staggered; she almost fell down.

Zhou Zhiruo was greatly shocked; she rushed ahead to support her Shifu. Fan Yao was very angry; "Wicked despicable coward!" he roared, "You are not worthy to live!" Lifting the cotton quilt containing Lu Zhangke and Concubine Han, he threw the bundle down.

He Biweng loved his martial brother very much; without thinking he jumped, trying to catch the bundle, but it was already too far outside the Pagoda that He Biweng only managed to grab the corner of it. Because of the weight, He Biweng was also dragged down.

Zhang Wuji was standing at the base of the Pagoda. Because of the smoke, he could not see clearly the battle high on the Pagoda. He saw a big object followed by a man was falling down. He did not know what the bundle was, but amidst the smoke he saw vaguely there was somebody inside the bundle. He could see clearly however, that the man was He Biweng. He realized this man had caused him endless suffering, even his parents' death was closely related to him. But in the end Zhang Wuji just could not bear to see him falling down to meet his cruel death. Immediately he flew up and with both palms he struck the bundle and He Biweng, sending each one of them flying about three 'zhang's to the right and to the left.

He Biweng flipped his body midair and landed on the ground. "Really dangerous!" he inwardly called out in alarm. Never in his life would he expect Zhang Wuji to render good for evil by saving his life. As he turned his head around to look for his martial brother he was shocked. Turned out Zhang Wuji's palm strike had caused the bundle to burst open, throwing two naked bodies into a pile of burning wood. Lu Zhangke's acupoints were still sealed; he was unable to move that his beard and hair was burned immediately.

"Shige!" He Biweng called out in panic and rushed toward the fire.

As he landed on the fire, before his feet were steady, Yu Lianzhou had called out, "Eat my palm!" followed by a left palm strike toward He Biweng's shoulder.

He Biweng did not dare to block, he shrank his shoulder to evade. It seemed like Yu Lianzhou's palm had lost its momentum, but as He Biweng's shoulder shrunk, the palm followed and 'slap!' He Biweng was so much in pain that his forehead was drenched in cold sweats. Yet rescuing his martial brother was more important that ignoring the pain He Biweng hastily embraced Lu Zhangke and took him flying over the tall wall surrounding the temple.
