Zhang CuiShan said, "My third brother's injury is seemingly related to the Dragon Saber. Can Miss Yin fill me in on everything?" Yin SuSu said, "I don't know all the details either. Why don't you go back and ask your third brother?"
Zhang CuiShan saw that she wouldn't say, and decided against pressing further. He thought, "The people who hurt my third brother looked like they really wanted the Dragon Saber. From the tone of Branch Leader Chang, the Dragon Saber is in their hands. Should those people know about this, they'd surely come to this meeting." So he said, "Do you think that Taoist priest who fired these darts would also go to WangPan Mountain?"
Yin SuSu showed a slight grin, but did not answer his question. Instead she said, "If you really want to go to this ceremony, then let's go together." She then turned towards Chang JinPeng and said, "Branch Leader Chang. Please lead the way." Chang JinPeng answered, "Yes!" and retreated back out the cabin like servant in front of a master. Yin SuSu only nodded, but Zhang CuiShan respected this old man's martial arts ability. So he personally sent Chang JinPeng out the door.
Yin SuSu looked at the tear on Zhang CuiShan's clothes where Chang JinPeng had hit him. She said, "Take off your long robe. I'll stitch it up for you." Zhang CuiShan said, "No need!" Yin SuSu said, "You don't trust my sewing ability?"
Zhang CuiShan said, "I wouldn't dare." And then remained silent as he thought about all those deaths in the Dragon Gate Escort Agency. He normally would have tried to kill anyone capable of such murder. Yet instead he saved this person's life instead. Although he saved her because of her kindness to his third brother, he still realized that good and evil should not mix. Once this deal at WangPan Island is over, he'll leave her immediately.
Yin SuSu saw the surly expression on Zhang CuiShan's face, and immediately what he's thinking. She said, "In addition to all those people in the Dragon Gate Escort Agency and those two Shaolin monks, I also killed Monk Hui Feng." Zhang CuiShan said, "I thought that was you, except I wasn't sure how you did it." Yin SuSu said, "That was hardly difficult to do. I simply stayed by the river and listened in on your conversation. When that Hui Feng monk saw that you weren't me, I simply gave him a needle in the mouth. You kept on searching for me on the ground and on trees, but I was on the boat the whole time. So of course you couldn't find me." Zhang CuiShan said, "Which means that Shaolin would continue to think that I'm the killer. Miss Yin, you are certainly very smart, very cunning." Yin SuSu ignored his cynical tone, and simply responded with a smile, "Thank you for your compliment!"
Zhang CuiShan became even angrier, and yelled, "Why did you try to frame me? Since when did I ever do anything to you?"
Yin SuSu said with a smile, "I didn't purposely want to hurt you. But since Shaolin and Wu Dang are known as the two most powerful institutions in the martial world. I really would like to see who would win in a battle."
After getting over the initial shock, Zhang CuiShan found himself feeling less hatred towards Yin SuSu, but more wary towards her. He thought, "Looks like there's a huge plan here, much bigger than just trying to hurt me. If Wu Dang and Shaolin really were to fight each other, the martial world would be much less peaceful."
Yin SuSu remained quite calm, and said, "May I see the designs on your fan?"
Before Zhang CuiShan could respond, they heard someone on Chang JinPeng's boat yell, "Is this Huge Whale Clan's boat? Who's there?" Another voice responded, "This boat carries the young leader of the Huge Whale Clan. We're here for the meeting on the WangPan Island." The man on Chang JinPeng's boat yell, "The Heavenly Eagle Sect's Miss Yin and Branch Leader Chang of the Red Sparrow Branch are here. Plus there's an honored guest. Please get back behind us." The other person yelled, "If your leader were here, we'd surely let you go first. But no one else is worthy."
Zhang CuiShan thought, "Heavenly Eagle Sect? What kind of evil sect is that? How come I've never heard of them? They look to be quite formidable based on what I've seen. This sect must've been established only recently, and stayed mostly in the southern area. Which is why I've never met them." He opened the cabin window and looked outside, only to see a boat with a sculpture of whale carved to its head, and several curved sabers on its side, decorated as whale teeth. This boat had a huge mast, allowing it to sail much faster than Chang JinPeng and his boats.
Chang JinPeng yelled, "Young Leader Mai, Miss Yin's here. How could you not give face to her?" A yellow-robed young man stepped to the front of the whale-boat gave a cold laugh and said, "On land the Heavenly Eagle Sect rules supreme, but on water you think you can compete with us? Why should we give you face on the river?" Zhang CuiShan thought, "This river is so wide hundreds of boats can travel simultaneously. Why do they have to make other boats travel behind them? This Heavenly Eagle Sect really is odd."
By this time, the wind picked up, and the Huge Whale Clan's boat is now way ahead of them. Chang JinPeng let out a 'humph', and said, "Huge Whale Clan… Dragon Saber… also… Dragon Saber…" It's really hard to distinguish what he said with the huge wind and the distance between the boats.
When that Young Leader Mai heard him say 'Dragon Saber' twice, he became very interested, and ordered his man to sail back towards Chang JinPeng's boat. Once nearly there, he asked, "Branch Leader Chang, what did you say?" Chang JinPeng said, "Young Leader Mai… our Branch Leader Bai… that Dragon Saber…" Zhang CuiShan thought, "That's odd. Why does he speak in fragments?"
Only to see the two boats moving closer and closer together, until they're only a few feet apart. Then suddenly, Chang JinPeng picked up an iron anchor on his boat and threw it onto the other boat, Amidst screaming from two sailors, the anchor swooped down onto the whale-boat.
Young Leader Mai yelled, "What are you doing?" Chang JinPeng didn't respond, instead picked up the second anchor on his boat and also threw it onto the whale-boat, killing three sailors in the process. Now the two boats are locked tightly together. Young Leader Mai tried to pick up the anchor to get it off the boat. Meanwhile, Chang JinPeng waved his right hand, and accompanied by the sound of chains, a dark green watermelon shot out, hitting the main cabin of the Huge Whale Clan's boat. Only then did Zhang CuiShan realize that this watermelon is Chang JinPeng's weapon. It seemed to be made out of steel, two of them total, connected by a long chain. Each one incredibly heavy, at least sixty to seventy pounds. Only someone with incredible strength can make them move with such ease.
After hearing a huge amount of noise, Zhang CuiShan saw that the watermelon had made a cut in the middle of the boat. While the sailors on the boat panicked, Chang JinPeng retracted his watermelon and then threw both onto the back end of the whale-boat. After a while, the boat began to split apart.
That young leader could only watch helplessly as his boat broke apart. He yelled some obscenities at Chang JinPeng, who retorted, "As long as Heavenly Eagle Sect's here, we also rule the water!" As he spoke he threw out his watermelons again, this time he made a hole at the bottom of the ship, causing water to begin flooding in.
