Chapter 451: Go All In

With experts from the six major sects all present, along with two masters at the Wuwei realm to back them up, “Elder Crane Pen” soon surrendered as well. Master Yuanhui sealed his acupoints and brought him away!
By the time they returned to Kai Xin, all the women’s belongings had already been gathered up by Kai Xin. “Stave Walker” stared at this seemingly young man who seemed to understand everything with a complex expression, his face turning pale and blue alternately. Even the capture of “Elder Crane Pen” didn’t draw much attention from him.
“Alright, there’s no time to lose. While the Yuan soldiers still don’t know that the Two Elders of Xuanming are in our hands, we must quickly find out where the ‘Ten Fragrances Soft Tendon Powder’ is and head to Wan’an Temple to rescue them!”
As soon as Master Yuanhui finished speaking, Kai Xin spoke up.
He gave Stave Walker a brief glance and asked, “Elder Crane Pen should have what we need, right?”
“Hmph! If you’ve got the guts, kill me! Don’t think you can get information out of us!” Elder Crane Pen struggled briefly, speaking defiantly, but he lacked the strength to break free from Master Yuanhui’s grasp.
Unexpectedly, Stave Walker showed a hint of nervousness after Kai Xin took out the jade hairpin. Stammering, he replied, “When under someone’s roof, one has to bow one’s head. This time, we admit defeat. Younger brother, give them the antidote.”
“…”
Elder Crane Pen looked at Stave Walker in surprise, puzzled by his brother’s easy surrender. He had no idea that Kai Xin’s words had already terrified Stave Walker to the core.
Being captured by the six major sects was actually relatively safe. The members of these sects were cautious and wouldn’t dare kill their captives on their own—Zhao Min would soon learn that something had happened to the Two Elders of Xuanming, and then the experts from the six sects would surely become targets of revenge.
But…
If Zhao Min found out that Stave Walker had even harmed the Young Princess, who was Zhao Min’s sister-in-law, neither Zhao Min nor the Prince of Ruyang would spare them. Without their lives guaranteed, they naturally couldn’t remain defiant.
Thus, the six major sects obtained the antidote to the Ten Fragrances Soft Tendon Powder from Elder Crane Pen…
“Young Master Kai Xin, what method did you use to make these two old men suddenly cooperate so well?” Song Yuanqiao asked with a smile.
Kai Xin smiled modestly and replied, “It’s just some common martial arts tricks. But mainly, they were intimidated by the authority of Hero Song and Master Yuanhui, as well as that of the six major sects. Otherwise, my humble skills wouldn’t be enough to make them submit.”
Hearing this, the experts from the six major sects felt somewhat relieved.

“There’s no time to lose. Now that we have the antidote, let’s sneak into Wan’an Temple at night to rescue the leaders of the six major sects and their skilled warriors!” said Yuanhui.
Kai Xin glanced at Yuanhui. This character didn’t exist in the original story; this skilled warrior must have been created for him. He nodded immediately. “It’s not difficult to infiltrate Wan’an Temple. I’ve done it many times before and am well-accustomed to it. We can bring in the antidote as soon as it gets dark…”
“No, Zhao Min is extremely cunning. Last time at Wudang, my master almost fell for her tricks. With all six major sects coming to Wan’an Temple this time, she will surely strengthen its defenses. It’s too dangerous for Young Master Kai Xin to go in alone. It’s better if I handle this night raid,” Song Yuanqiao replied seriously.
Yuanhui also nodded. “That’s right. This matter is of great importance. It’s not that Old Na doesn’t trust Young Master Kai Xin. You’ve worked hard for the six major sects with great loyalty, and I admire you greatly. But Hero Song’s skills are unmatched in the world, so he’s clearly more suitable. Young Master Kai Xin, please come with us.”
“Agreed.”
Although the skilled warriors of the six major sects all agreed and decided that Song Yuanqiao would lead the night raid, for some reason, Kai Xin noticed a hint of disdain flashing quickly in the eyes of Old Crane Pen, which made him feel uneasy.
“What about those two from Xuanming Sect?”
After hesitating for a moment, Song Yuanqiao said, “People like these, who are cruel, wicked, and aid the evil, should be killed on the spot to uphold justice. But… if this mission fails, they might still be useful. Abbot Hui Xin, does there happen to be any remote, uninhabited place nearby where we can lock them up? We can decide their fate after this is over.”
After making the decision, the skilled warriors of the six major sects gathered their troops, changed their attire, and converged near Wan’an Temple, waiting for nightfall.
Kai Xin knew that the success of this mission depended mainly on whether Hero Song could successfully deliver the antidote to the tower. He would use his privileges to persuade others to leave the group and follow Song Yuanqiao outside Wan’an Temple.
Night fell!
There were over a dozen patrol teams added outside Wan’an Temple’s walls. The Yuan soldiers moving in and out carried torches, illuminating the temple like daylight, greatly increasing the difficulty of sneaking in.
“Zhao Min has indeed noticed something,” Kai Xin thought to himself.
Under such circumstances, he certainly wouldn’t dare to enter Wan’an Temple rashly—even in night clothes, he couldn’t avoid all those eyes inside and enter the tower without alerting anyone. Only Song Yuanqiao, who had reached the state of Wuwei, could possibly try!
“Be careful, Hero Song.”

Happy reminded him. Song Yuanqiao, dressed in combat gear, soared into the air like a giant black bird, rising to heights beyond the reach of the flames before darting into the temple.
Yet…
Not long after Song Yuanqiao entered Wan’an Temple, a clear and pleasant voice rang out: “I wonder which master from the Wudang Sect you are. I’m Zhao Min! I’ve been waiting for you for quite some time!”
The voice echoed clearly in the distance.
Happy heard it clearly outside the temple and quickly realized that the Yuan soldiers inside and outside were in an uproar, rushing swiftly toward the tall tower!
Her heart sank—Song the Hero had been discovered…
“Damn it!”
With all the nearby Yuan soldiers having withdrawn, Happy, in her urgency, leaped onto the temple wall to get a better look inside.
What she saw filled her with both shock and joy.
To her shock, swords flashed everywhere, and shouts of anger filled the air—clearly, Song Yuanqiao had been discovered by the Yuan soldiers and was now trapped by Zhao Min’s three servants, Ah Da, Ah Er, and Ah San, unable to escape.
But to her joy, Song Yuanqiao hadn’t been found near the tall tower; the incident had occurred in the Main Hall!
What thrilled her even more was that, amid the sounds of chasing assassins, everyone in the temple had gathered near the tall tower and the Main Hall.
Only a few spots inside the temple were lit by flickering flames, illuminating small areas, while most of it was swallowed by darkness.
“Song the Hero will surely be captured and taken to the tall tower. The masters from the six major sects outside won’t act unless they receive a signal… Now, there’s only one choice: go all in!”
Gritting her teeth, Happy made a quick decision.
Lightening fast, she jumped off the temple wall, darting through the darkness between the flames like lightning, avoiding the nearby Yuan soldiers as she headed in another direction toward the tall tower.
