Wuxia Fantasy: Starting with the Revitalization of the Beggars' Sect

Lin Ye, along with Zhu'er and Zhang Wuji, ran across the rooftops and climbed over the walls into the bamboo forest, but were eventually caught up by Yang Xiao and the others.

Peng Yingyu and Tieguan Daoren blocked their way, while Yang Xiao, Zhou Dian, and Leng Qian surrounded them from behind. A group of guards swarmed in from behind, forming a circle around the three of them, leaving them no way to pass.

Hearing what was happening, Zhang Wuji, who was inside the bag, said, "Brother, Zhu'er, help me open the bag."

Lin Ye had the same idea. Although Zhang Wuji hadn't fully mastered the moves, he was still a fighting force, and it wouldn't be bad if he could hold off one or two of them.

He placed the cloth bag on the ground, and Zhu'er quickly untied the bag, allowing Zhang Wuji to finally emerge.

Yang Xiao said coldly, "Friend, you won't leave until you hand over my daughter."

Zhang Wuji recognized this person as Yang Xiao. He had met him once when he handed Yang Buhui over to him. Now, apart from looking a bit more weathered, he looked much the same as before.

He had previously heard from Yang Xiao and his brother that Yang Buhui had been captured by his brother. After his initial shock, he guessed that his brother had probably taken his sister Buhui hostage to save them.

He and Yang Buhui had a close friendship since childhood, and feeling sorry for her, he said:

"Brother, you really arrested his daughter?"

"Um."

Lin Ye gave a simple reply, but remained focused on his surroundings, not letting his guard down for a moment.

Zhang Wuji said, "Let's return his daughter to him."

Lin Ye turned to Yang Xiao, "I'll return your daughter, but you have to make sure these two get down the mountain safely."

Lin Ye gestured to Zhu'er and Zhang Wuji behind him.

Zhou Dian cursed:

"Bullshit! You think you can come and go as you please? If word gets out, where will the Ming Cult put its face?"

Yang Xiao's face was ashen. He was filled with remorse for Ji Xiaofu's death because of him, and he could not allow his daughter to suffer any more harm.

After a moment's hesitation, ignoring Zhou Dian's words, he said to Lin Ye, "As long as my daughter is safe and sound, I will personally escort the three of you down the mountain."

Zhou Dian said, "Yang Xiao, you are not the leader, you cannot make the decision."

As soon as he finished speaking, the first person attacked Lin Ye. Lin Ye was about to defend himself when Yang Xiao rushed in and stopped Zhou Dian.

"Brother Zhou, I'm begging you."

Zhou Dian was taken aback. In his memory, Yang Xiao had never yielded to him before, yet this time he had surprisingly uttered a soft word. After a moment's thought, he snorted:

"Yang Xiao, this is you begging me, Zhou Dian, not me following your orders."

After saying that, he withdrew.

Yang Xiao thanked them and, to show his sincerity, turned to the guards and said, "You all, withdraw."

The guards said "Yes" and dispersed.

The other three wandering men exchanged glances. Seeing that Yang Xiao had even managed to persuade Zhou Dian, who was the most difficult to convince, they didn't say anything more.

After the guards dispersed, Yang Xiao looked back at Lin Ye.

Since the other party has made a promise, Lin Ye cannot break his word.

Under the watchful eyes of Yang Xiao and the Four Wanderers, he calmly led Zhu'er and Zhang Wuji back the way they came, bringing everyone directly to the courtyard outside Yang Buhui's room.

Yang Xiao was secretly curious. Could it be that Bu Hui was really hiding in that secret passage?

Although he had such a suspicion, he only had one precious daughter, and he dared not gamble.

Upon reaching the outside of the side room, Lin Ye stopped and said to Yang Xiao, "Left Envoy Yang, why don't you wait outside for now?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Xiao was certain that his daughter was indeed inside that secret passage, and this person probably also knew that the secret passage was a secret of their Ming Cult.

The other party's words were clearly intended to avoid embarrassing them.

"We'll wait outside."

Yang Xiao said coldly.

Then Lin Ye entered the house alone, while Zhu'er and Zhang Wuji remained where they were.

After Lin Ye left, Zhu'er was really uneasy and looked around anxiously. She saw that everyone around her looked fierce and menacing, which was terrifying.

In reality, the Five Wanderers and the Green-Winged Bat King, among others, were not particularly good-looking, nor were they especially terrifying; it was just Spider's psychological suggestion.

The Green-Winged Bat King and Shuobude were now resting and recuperating in the hall.

The Green-Winged Bat King must have drunk another person's blood, because its complexion had improved considerably. On the other side, the Cloth Bag Monk had suffered internal injuries, but they were not fatal. However, this was not the time to use his internal energy to heal him, so the Four Wanderers could only tell him to endure it for now.

Before long, everyone saw Lin Ye emerge from the room with two young girls, Yang Buhui and Xiao Zhao.

Yang Xiao was overjoyed to see that his daughter was safe and sound. When he saw that his daughter was silent, he knew that she had been silenced by acupressure.

Yang Xiao released her pressure points, and Yang Buhui hugged Yang Xiao, crying out "Father!"

The father and daughter embraced and wept. Xiao Zhao watched from the side, feeling envious. In contrast, she thought about how her own mother had disregarded her safety and sent her here to steal the secrets of the Ming Cult. She couldn't help but feel emotional, and her eyes welled up with tears.

Xiao Zhao was feeling down when Lin Ye released her pressure points. She was taken aback, not expecting anyone to pay attention to her, an insignificant maid.

Feeling grateful, she momentarily forgot that it was Lin Ye who had pressed her pressure points. Unaware of the current situation, she nodded slightly to Lin Ye.

Yang Buhui had never suffered any hardship growing up. She hugged her father and wept for a while, then, remembering something, she released her father, drew a sword from a nearby guard, and cried out:

"Father, this girl is definitely in cahoots with them."

He raised his sword and slashed at Xiao Zhao. A cold light flashed, and Xiao Zhao shrank back in fear, but the blade was caught in mid-air by Lin Ye.

"Miss, if you're going to kill someone, you should wait until we get down the mountain."

After Lin Ye finished speaking, he lowered his weapon.

Yang Buhui was enraged by her failed attack, but knowing that the gap between her and Lin Ye's martial arts was too great, she did not throw a second sword.

Fortunately, her father was there. She hoped he could avenge her and kill the boy so she could kill the maid.

Since Lin Ye was willing to release the people, he was not afraid that they would go back on their word. If he wanted to kill Yang Buhui, he was willing to fight to the death, and these people probably couldn't stop him.

Yang Xiao said, "You should go down the mountain."

Yang Buhui was taken aback. Just as she was about to say something, her father stopped her.

"I, Yang, am not a man of my word."

Lin Ye cupped his hands in farewell and said, "Farewell."

Leading Zhu'er and Zhang Wuji, Yang Xiao was about to leave. Zhou Dian watched anxiously, but there was nothing he could do. However, after walking only a few steps, he heard Yang Xiao say again:

"Please wait a moment, everyone."

Lin Ye stopped, but didn't turn around. He only heard Yang Xiao say again:

"Please take this girl with you. If she stays on the mountain, I can't guarantee her life."

The girl Yang Xiao mentioned was Xiao Zhao. Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhao was taken aback. She wanted to say something, but couldn't find the words. She thought to herself that since she had entered the secret passage with her mistress, no matter how much she tried to persuade her, she could no longer stay on Bright Peak.

Seeing that she was looking down and timid, Zhu'er strode up to her, took her hand, and said to Yang Xiao, "If you don't want her, then we won't be polite."

After saying that, he pulled her away.
