Yang Chengye looked at Hong Qi and smiled: "Brother Hong, what's the difference between you and me?"

  "On the road, I will pass on the 36th Road Empty Fist to you, helping you defeat He Zuodao and take the position of Bang Zhu!"

  Hearing Yang Chengye's words, Hong Qi laughed and said: "Then I'll be rude to my brother!"

  The two of them burst out laughing after finishing speaking.

  On the second day, the disciples of the Beggar Gang left one after another. Yang Chengyi and Hong Qi also left Xiangyang City.

  Yang Chengye and Hong Qi walked together, on the way Yang Chengye recited the oral formula of the 36th Road Empty Bright Fist to Hong Qi, and personally demonstrated each move.

  Hong Qi's martial arts talent was also high, and in less than three days, he had memorized the mental formula and mouthful of secrets, and had practiced the moves to perfection.

  Hong Qiyue practiced more and more astonishingly, he didn't think that the martial arts moves could be simplified to this extent, not only was the power not reduced, but it was greatly increased. He can confirm that this set of martial arts was created for killing people, every strike is a direct hit on the vital point.

  Hong Qī remembered that Yang Chéngyè had said that when he took the position of leader, there would be a grand sendoff. He was secretly looking forward to Yang Chéngyè's grand gift.

  On this day, Yang Chengye and Hong Qi arrived at the border of Zhejiang. Hong Qi asked Yang Chengye: "Brother Yang, you are going to Lin'an, I also need to go back and report, so I'll say goodbye here, let's meet again in six months at Junshan."

  "Don't stand me up this time!"

  Yang Chengye smiled and said, "Of course, this time I will definitely arrive on time."

  "Haha, it's settled then!"

  Hong Qi finished speaking and bid farewell to Yang Chengye before leaving.

  After Hong Qi left, Yang Chengye turned over and mounted his horse, rushing towards Lin'an.

  Lin'an, the flowers are still blooming as before, and the officials are still wealthy and prestigious. They are drunk on wealth and power, satisfied with the status quo in the imperial court, and do not think of making progress. But they do not know that the northern countries have quietly risen, and the Japanese pirates are rampant along the southeastern coast, and the people are suffering.

  Mingjiao has never recovered since Yu Wupuo was seriously injured.

  Yu Wu Po has always treated Zhao Wusuo as a successor in her heart, thinking that after her hundred years, she will let Zhao Wusuo take over the position of the sect leader.

  Zhang San's spear and Zhao Wu Shuang engaged in a fierce battle by the West Lake, both suffering severe injuries. Fortunately, a mysterious figure intervened to lend a helping hand; otherwise, it would have been difficult to predict who would live or die.

  Zhang San returned to Guangmingding Zongtan after being shot and recovered after nearly a year of treatment.

  Zhang San's first thing after recovering from his injury was to ask to see Master Yu Wubao, but unexpectedly, Yu Wubao was in seclusion to heal her wounds.

  Zhang Sanfeng arrived outside the Ming Cult's secret chamber and said to the stone gate, "Master, do you know that your good disciple Zhao Wudao is a traitor? Her real name is Zhao Ji, she is the daughter of Zhao Kuangyi. She disguised herself as a man and joined the Ming Cult in order to take over the position of Master and make the Ming Cult serve her."

  "She not only stole the art of Qiankun Dahuanyi, but also continuously eliminated dissenters and even wanted to kill her subordinates."

  Bang

  As soon as Zhang San's words fell, the stone door of the secret room burst into pieces, and Yu Wu Po, who was sitting in the secret room, spat out a big mouthful of blood, her face pale as paper, and fell to the ground looking at Zhang San outside the stone door.

  Zhang San was also startled and quickly entered the secret room, kneeling in front of Yu Wu Po and anxiously asked: "Master, how are you?"

  Yu Wu Po helplessly looked at Zhang San Gun, originally Yu Wu Po had been cultivating for over a year and her injuries had mostly healed, she only needed to break through the blockage in the Eight Extraordinary Meridians to fully recover.

  But just as she was circulating her true energy through the Eight Extraordinary Meridians, she heard Zhang San's words outside the door, and immediately her true energy became chaotic, rebounding against herself, instantly shattering her meridians.

  Yu Wu Po stared at Zhang San Qiang and asked: "San Qiang, is what you said true? Is Zhao Wu Shuang really the daughter of Zhao Gou Yi?"

  Zhang San nodded and said, "Yes, I have investigated it clearly. She was originally Zhao Gongyi's daughter, disguised as a man to infiltrate the Mingjiao, just to seize the position of the leader."

  "For so many years, Zhao Ji has been cultivating dead soldiers in the South China Sea, eliminating dissidents and killing many of our sect's backbone members. Last year, she even wanted to kill her subordinates, fortunately someone intervened, otherwise all of us including Chen Zuoshi and Wu Sanren would have died at Zhao Ji's hands!"

  After hearing Zhang San's words, Yu Wu Po sighed and said: "It's all because I have eyes but no pearls, and I mistakenly trusted people."

  Yu Wu Po said as she forced herself to sit up, after a moment, continued: "Zhang San Qiang, listen to orders!"

  Zhang San hastily bowed and said: "Your subordinate is here!"

  Yu Wu Po took out a palm-sized Xuan Tie Huo Yan Ling Pai and said: "This seat will now pass on the position of Sect Master to Zhang San Qiang."

  "Zhang San can enjoy all the resources of this sect, including the divine art of 'Qian Kun Da Nuo Yi'."

  "Zhang San must kill the rebels, glorify our Mingjiao sect and bring blessings to all living things!"

  "It can't be taught!"

  Zhang San hastily said: "Your injury is not serious, I will gather all the power of our school to help Master treat you."

  Yu Wu shook her head and said calmly: "It's no use, the true energy has backfired, my eight extraordinary meridians have been severed, even a god cannot save me."

  "Remember, our Ming Cult originated from the Persian fire worship, the Sacred Flame Order is a sacred object of our cult, not to be lost. The Bright Peak is a forbidden land for our sect, outsiders are not allowed to enter, and the divine art of the sect can only be cultivated by the sect leader."

  "My cultivation is dull and stupid, I have only cultivated up to the sixth level so far, you can work harder."

  "Remember, remember………"

  Yu Wu Po finished speaking and then fell down dead.

  Zhang San gunned down Yu Wu's corpse, bowed several times, picked up the Sacred Fire Order, closed the secret room, returned to Guangming Peak and issued the first Sect Master Decree.

  "The entire Mingjiao, from top to bottom, the Brightness Messengers on the left and right, the Four Great Dharma Kings, the 108 Altar Masters, the 36 Wing Masters, the 72 Branch Masters, and the Five Elements Flag Masters, all return to the Main Altar within a month to participate in the grand ceremony of the succession of the Sect Leader."

  Zhang Sanqiang then left Guangmingding overnight and disappeared without a trace.

  Yang Chengye returned to Lin'an and rushed to the Han family, but unexpectedly, the current Han family had already led the Hu Bao camp to guard Quanzhou, including Han Tianlong and Han Tiantao of the Han family, as well as Niu Meng.

  At this time, Han's family was in Liang Hongyu. When Yang Chengye saw Liang Hongyu, he hastily asked: "Madam, Old Madam..."

  Hearing this, Liang Hongyu's expression turned gloomy and she said: "Mother passed away half a year ago!"

  Although Yang Chengye had already guessed this result, when he heard the news, he also secretly regretted it.

  Seeing Yang Chengye's appearance, Liang Hongyu also couldn't bear it and quickly changed the subject, asking: "Chengye, you've been away for a whole year, what exactly happened? Why didn't you send any news at all?"

  Yang Chengye recounted the events of that year to Liang Hongyu, but concealed his acquisition of the martial arts manual. He only mentioned his fall from the cliff and the passing away of the Great Master, so he couldn't bring him to Lin'an.

  After understanding the whole story, Liang Hongyu comforted: "Chengye, this matter is not your fault, you have done your best. It's just that mother's fate has been unfortunate, but before she passed away, she did not suffer too much."

  Although Liang Hongyu did not blame herself, Yang Chengye still felt guilty and decided to repay the Han family in the future.
