Zhang CuiShan told the whole story, from going to the Dragon Gate Escort Agency, till Xie Xun forced them out to sea. Then Yu LianZhou inquired about Kun Lun's Gao ZeCheng and Jiang Tao.

Afterwards, Yu LianZhou pondered for a long time, before saying, "So that's what happened. If you hadn't came back, I doubt we'd ever find the truth." Zhang CuiShan said, "Yes, my sworn brother… Sigh. Second brother, Xie Xun really isn't as terrible as everyone thinks. He only did so many bad things because of a terrible tragedy. Now, he is my sworn brother." Yu LianZhou nodded, thought, "This is another troubling issue."

Zhang CuiShan continued, "When my sworn brother howled, he turned everyone on the island insane. That way, no one could reveal his secret."

Yu LianZhou said, "Although Xie Xun's actions are very brutal, he is, undoubtedly, a very ingenious person. However, despite his careful planning, Xie Xun forgot one person." Zhang CuiShan asked, "Who?" Yu LianZhou said, "Bai GuiShou."

Zhang CuiShan said, "Heavenly Eagle Sect's Branch Leader Bai?" Yu LianZhou said, "That's correct. You said that his internal power was the best among the people there. He fainted when Xie Xun shot him with the poisonous wine. Had he been awake, I doubt he could've withstood the howl…"

Zhang CuiShan said, "So that's what happened. Bai GuiShou was still unconscious during the howl, so he kept his sanity. My sworn brother never realized this."

Yu LianZhou sighed, said, "It seemed that only Bai GuiShou was able to make it out of Wang Pan Island unscathed. Although Kun Lun inner power is quite strong, Gao and Jiang had only rudimentary knowledge of it. They have since become mentally retarded. When others ask them who made them this way, Jiang Tao simply shook his head, while Gao ZeCheng kept repeating a single person's name, Yin SuSu." He paused a moment, then added, "Now I know that it's because he couldn't forget sister-in-law. Humph, the next time XiHua Zi utters such nonsense, I'll certainly give him a piece of my mind. Obviously it's the Kun Lun disciples who are unruly, yet he had to blame it on someone else."

Zhang CuiShan said, "If Bai GuiShou was fine, then he should've explained everything." Yu LianZhou said, "But he won't say anything. Do you know why?" Zhang CuiShan thought for a moment, realized the reason, and said, "That's right. The Heavenly Eagle Sect wants the Dragon Saber. They obviously don't want anyone else to know about this." Yu LianZhou said, "That's how the conflict started. Kun Lun Sect kept saying that Yin SuSu destroyed Gao and Jiang. We thought the Heavenly Eagle Sect killed you."

Zhang CuiShan said, "Did Bai GuiShou tell you that I went to Wang Pan Island too?" Yu LianZhou said, "No. He wouldn't say anything. Fourth brother, sixth brother, and I went to Wang Pan Island. We saw you wrote those twenty-four characters. That's how we knew you went to that ceremony. When we couldn't find you on the island, we asked Bai GuiShou. He didn't respond, and instead attacked us. I managed to injure him with my palm. Later on, Kun Lun Sect started sought the Heavenly Eagle Sect out, but lost pretty badly. Then things started to get more and more out of hand.

Zhang CuiShan was quite remorseful. He said, "I feel so awful, knowing my wife and I had caused so much problems in the martial world. After reporting to master, I'll personally apologize to each sect."

Yu LianZhou sighed, said, "Actually, it's just all a coincidence, rather than your making. Remember that day ten years ago? When master asked seventh brother and I to go protect the Dragon Gate Escort Agency? On the way, we encountered an unjust situation. We just had to stop and take care of the matter. And in the process saved more than ten innocent lives. But by the time we got to Lin An, the murder at the Dragon Gate Escort Agency had already occurred. Actually, you and your wife only caused the hostilities between Wu Dang, Kun Lun against the Heavenly Eagle Sect. But since the Heavenly Eagle Sect wanted the Dragon Saber, they never brought up Xie Xun's name. So Sea Sand Sect, Huge Whale Clan, and Divine Fist Sect all believed that the Heavenly Eagle Sect killed their leaders. As a result, the Heavenly Eagle Sect developed quite a bad reputation."

Zhang CuiShan sighed, said, "Actually, the Dragon Saber is hardly anything remarkable. Why would my father-in-law sacrifice so much for it?"

Yu LianZhou said, "I had never seen your father-in-law. But I do respect his strong, fighting spirit, as he fought off waves of enemies."

Zhang CuiShan said, "Shaolin, E Mei, and these other sects did not go to the Wang Pan Island ceremony. How did Heavenly Eagle Sect offend them?" Yu LianZhou said, "This concerns your sworn brother Xie Xun. In order to get the Dragon Saber, the Heavenly Eagle Sect continuously sent ships out to sea, hoping to find Xie Xun. You can't contain a fire by wrapping it with paper. No matter how tight Bai GuiShou's lips, the secret eventually got out. Your sworn brother committed over thirty crimes using 'Lightning Fist of the Originating Formation' Cheng Kun's name. Countless people in the martial world want him dead. Do you know about this?"

Zhang CuiShan whispered, "They finally figured out that he did it." Yu LianZhou said, "Every time he commits a crime, he'd write 'The murderer is Lightning Fist of the Originating Formation: Cheng Kun'. At that time, we all investigated into this matter, but couldn't find any leads. Things changed once people knew that Heavenly Eagle Sect is seeking Xie Xun. They remembered that Xie Xun is Cheng Kun's only disciple, and that Xie Xun despised his master. Obviously, the killer framing Cheng Kun is likely Xie Xun. Think about just how many people Xie Xun killed, and how many people it affects. Just the murder of Shaolin's Reverend Kong Jian alone, was enough to make him a very wanted person."

Zhang CuiShan sighed, said, "My sworn brother has changed his ways. But too much blood covers his hands… Second brother, I really don't know what to do."

Yu LianZhou said, "Wu Dang became the Heavenly Eagle Sect's enemy due to you. Kun Lun due to Gao and Jiang. Huge Whale Clan and others due to revenge for their leaders. In addition, countless groups and people, led by Shaolin, sought out the Heavenly Eagle Sect due to Xie Xun. In the past years, there had been five major battles, and countless minor skirmishes. The Heavenly Eagle Sect lost every single major battle, but still hung on despite everything. Your father-in-law has truly done a remarkable job. Of course, the major sects like Wu Dang and Shaolin did not attack with full force. One, we didn't want to act rashly before finding out the truth. Two, the Heavenly Eagle Sect didn't look to be the main culprit. This time, we got information that their Heavenly City Hall's Hall Leader Li headed out to sea, to look for Xie Xun. So we tried to follow them. But Hall Leader Li saw us, told us to leave. Kun Lun Sect then attacked them. Had you two not been here, both sides would've have suffered many more casualties."

Zhang CuiShan remained silent, while examined his second brother. Only to see his hair beginning to gray, and his face full of wrinkles. Zhang CuiShan said, "Second brother, you've been through a lot this past ten years. After surviving through these years, I was finally able to see you. I… I…"

Yu LianZhou saw the tears on Zhang CuiShan's face, and said, "It's fantastic to have the seven brothers united again. After third brother got injured, and you disappeared, everyone renamed us 'Five Heroes of Wu Dang'. Now we can changed it back to seven heroes again…" He then thought of Yu DaiYan's crippled condition. Even though there are seven of them again, no longer can all seven roam the martial world together. Yu LianZhou's heart saddened upon this realization.
