Arhats Subduing Demons: Starting with The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber

Chapter 5 Relentless Pursuit
Then someone else shouted, "Who are you, daring to do this..." The words were cut short.

A clear, mature voice rang out: "Yunhe, do you also want your Jinyang Escort Agency to be wiped out?"

Although Yunhe dismissed the escort agency during the day, it was the largest escort agency in several northwestern provinces with a large population, so he could not leave immediately.

Yun Changkong said, "It seems our enemies have come knocking."

Yunhe's forehead veins bulged as he said, enunciating each word clearly, "How is that possible?"

Yun Changkong said calmly, "Anything is possible in this world, and nothing is impossible."

Yunhe and the old lady were slightly surprised by his expression, thinking how could this child say such a thing, and that he didn't seem afraid at all.

Seeing the two men staring intently at him, Yun Changkong felt awkward and forced a dry laugh, "Father, what kind of situation is this? Why are you still looking at me! What kind of enemy is coming? We need to fight them off!"

Yunhe sighed, "It's Yin Wushou!"

Yun Changkong's heart skipped a beat, but he managed to remain calm and said with a smile, "What can Father do with him now?"

Yunhe shook his head and said, "Before I lost my arm, I fought him but was no match for him. That's why I was forced to lose my arm and swear an oath. Who knew he would still pursue me so relentlessly? He has no integrity whatsoever!"

Chang Kong shook his head and said, "Father is confused. Faith is the most important thing in the world, but it is also the cheapest!"

Clearly, if the Eagle Sect valued loyalty and righteousness, the three heroes of Wudang, Yu Sanxia, ​​wouldn't have become crippled!

Yunhe's eyes flashed as he looked at his mother: "Mother, you and Kong'er stay in the secret room! Under no circumstances should you come out!"

Seeing his sorrowful words and mournful expression, Madam Yun knew her son was about to risk his life and said, "Can't we turn back?"

Yunhe said, “Mother, in the thirty years since I entered the martial world, apart from losing an arm and being humiliated, I am confident that I have not done anything wrong. But they still won’t give up. I have become a cripple and never wanted to live in this world. Now that Kong’er has a great fortune, even if I die, I will have no regrets!”

"Yunhe, if you don't come out soon, I'm going to kill someone."

Yin Wushou called out again.

The old lady's hair trembled as she wept, saying, "He'er!"

Although the old lady was a remarkable woman who had heard of such tragedies that destroyed families, she witnessed her son lose an arm, her family business be destroyed, and her grandson discover the secret of the treasure, believing that he would surely achieve great things in the future.

But to her surprise, the enemy arrived at her door immediately, and all her hopes and dreams were dashed. She was also forced to watch her son go to his death, which broke her heart. She couldn't help but prostrate herself on the ground and wail.

Yunhe knelt down in tears: "Mother, your son is leaving." He kowtowed three times to his mother.

This tragic scene of life and death brought tears to Yun Changkong's eyes. He cursed inwardly, "Damn it, I really got the Lin Pingzhi copy, but I've only practiced the divine skill for a few hours!" But he said aloud, "Father, I'll go with you!"

Madam Yun couldn't help but wipe away her tears and said, "You are not allowed to go!"

Her son wanted to die, and her grandson wanted to die too; how could she allow that?

Yunhe grabbed Changkong, his muscles bulging with anxiety. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Yun Changkong say, "Father, have you forgotten the seventy-two members of the Longmen Escort Agency?"
If the Eagle Cult intends to destroy my family, how could they not know that you have a son? Would they not eliminate him completely?

I'm afraid the escort agency is already under surveillance. Even if I were willing to cower in the shadows, I might not escape their grasp. I'd rather go out and fight to the death."

Upon hearing her grandson's words, the old lady immediately stopped crying and said, "Child, aren't you afraid of death?"

Yun Changkong said, "Grandma, Father, who isn't afraid of death? But life and death are determined by fate, and wealth and honor are bestowed by heaven. If I really have to die, I won't be afraid if you're with me!"

In truth, Yun Changkong also wanted to hide, but if the Sky Eagle Sect was really aiming to wipe out the entire family, how could he not find out who the Yun family was?
The old woman might have a sliver of hope, but her son has no chance of survival.

If you can't find yourself and set the house on fire, then you really won't have any chance left. You have no choice but to fight!

Suddenly, a woman outside let out a bloodcurdling scream, a sound filled with profound sorrow.

Madam Yun said angrily, "These beasts! Greenie, this poor child!"

This Greenie was the maid who fed Yun Changkong watermelons every day. Yun Changkong was furious and said coldly, "Alright, Father, stop being so wishy-washy. Even if you go out and risk your life, it's just doing your best. There's no guarantee that Grandma and I will escape this calamity!"
When the Longmen Escort Agency was wiped out, didn't any of them want to die so that their loved ones could live? But what was the use in the end? With a flick of his wrist, he broke free from the grasp and walked out first.

Madam Yun said, "Alright, let's go out together!"

Yun Changkong stopped and turned around, saying, "Grandma, you stay here. Father and I will go out. If things are hopeless, we'll give up. But if we have the chance, we'll stage a comeback. You don't need to come with us."

Yunhe sighed, "Mother, this treasure still needs someone to look after it. Wait for our good news!"

Madam Yun wiped away her tears and hugged the box to her chest.

Yunhe stepped forward and took Yun Changkong's hand to stop him from wandering off, and the two walked out together.

Yunhe dared to rebel against the Yuan Dynasty, not because he was a coward who feared death. However, his elderly mother and young son were his closest relatives. When it came to their life and death, his heroic spirit naturally faded. This is the origin of the saying "a hero's spirit is diminished by the tenderness of his children."

But now that Yun Changkong has left without hesitation, Yun He is also fearless. He said to his son, "Good, good son. If the entire Yun family is doomed to die, let us die with dignity!"

Yun Changkong sighed inwardly as his father grasped his large hand. This was his father's hand, and he never wanted to give up on his son, no matter the difficulties. He said, "Father, that's true, but don't rush into a fight later. Let's figure out their true intentions first. If we have the chance, we might just capture the leader of the thief."

He feared that his father, who was taking advantage of the situation, would overestimate his abilities and engage in direct combat with others as soon as he went out, thus becoming easy prey for them.

Yunhe was genuinely surprised by his son's calmness, but he had no time to think about it at the moment.

The father and son left the secret room and went to the courtyard.

The night was dark. In the vast sky, a lone full moon hung in the air. By the moonlight, several dark figures could be seen on the rooftops of the east and west wing rooms, clearly people monitoring the mansion.

Yun Changkong cursed inwardly, "I was fond of the Demonic Sect in my past life, why do I hate it so much this time!"

Before Chang Kong could finish his thought, he suddenly saw Yun He raise his voice and shout, "Yin Wushou, I, Yun, am here!"

A powerful voice rang out: "What, do you still want this old man to greet you?"

Hearing the sound coming from the hall, Yunhe took a step and walked over.

Yun Changkong whispered, "Father, please, please don't rush into a fight. First, find out how many of them are here. I'm still young. To catch the thief, catch the leader. Understand?"

Yunhe glanced at his son. Although he had never heard of the term "dui tao" before, he understood its meaning and nodded silently.

But I didn't really understand his last sentence.

Yun Changkong meant that he was young and would not attract attention, and that he would capture the thief if given the opportunity.

Yunhe thought I was still young, and that you should capture the leader of the thief.

The two entered the hall and saw an old man with a tall hat standing upright with his hands behind his back. His eyes were deep-set and his cheekbones were high and prominent, making him look like a skull at first glance. However, his eyes were sharp and piercing. A white hemp rope about the thickness of a thumb was tied around his waist.

Upon seeing him, Yunhe immediately recognized him as Yin Wushou, whom he had met in Xiangyang.

Looking around at the disciples and servants scattered on the ground, some had fainted, some had been immobilized by pressure points, and two had their heads severed, with blood gushing from their necks—they had actually been beheaded.

One of them was Greenie, her eyes still wide open, her face full of fear, looking utterly wretched and miserable.

Yunhe was no stranger to murder in the martial arts world, but this was the first time Yun Changkong had ever witnessed such a cruel scene in his past and present lives. This scene reminded him of the massacre of the seventy-two members of the Longmen Escort Agency in the story.

If the scene was already so horrific with only two deaths, what about the seventy-two?
This made Yun Changkong's blood boil, and he thought: "If I don't die today, I will not be worthy of being a man if I don't eradicate this vicious sect, the Sky Eagle Sect!"

Yun He suppressed his anger and said, "Yin Wushou, you are supposed to be someone important. We met a few days ago, and you were in a very powerful position. How can you go back on your word and profit from your promise? And now you've brought people here to cause trouble?"

Yin Wushou said coldly, "Yunhe, you're a man of your own, don't you understand the principle that times change?"
