Sect Leader of the , called the "Cloud-Watching Swordsman" in his youth, and known together with his Junior Brother Ting Haisheng as the Diancang Twin Venerables.
The two wield the Black and White Twin Swords and are famed throughout the world for their Combined Strike Technique, the "Yin and Yang Twin Swords". Either one alone is no match for an opponent, but with Twin Swords Combined they are no small matter.

Notes
- The Cloud-Watching Wanderer's original surname is Guan.
- The Black and White Twin Swords are said to have been forged by the Tang Clan.
- The once said that the Diancang Twin Venerables have not reached the highest realm, yet when the two join forces their strength surges. Even if and Great Hero Long Yuan made peace and joined hands, they would likely be no match.
- The Diancang Sect's foremost expert has never been its Sect Leader, for the Sect Leader is bogged down in worldly affairs and finds it hard to seek the Way. Ting Haisheng is stronger than the Cloud-Watching Wanderer, and Ye Yunzhou could not win against him during his time at Diancang.
- A perverse trend of "killing one's kin to attain enlightenment" once ran through the Diancang Sect. The Diancang Twin Venerables went to great lengths to correct and stop it, leading their prized disciples the White Rainbow Swordsman, the Morning Sun Swordsman, and to cut off the wrists of every kin-killer, expel them from the sect, and hand them over to the authorities. Only then did the heresy finally die out.
- In those days the brother and sister and entered Diancang sick with illness. They received the Diancang Twin Venerables' praise and, with Diancang's "Two Principles Sword Qi", forcibly subdued the chaotic True Qi within their bodies.
- If Ye Yunzhou joins the Tang Clan, the Western Wulin will come out to hold the Twin Venerables in check, with the following results:
- With a sword meant for the living, he holds off the Twin Venerables' Two Principles Sword Technique alone.
- If Duan Zhixiu is present, the two hold off the Twin Venerables together, and the Twin Venerables scold their coordination as an utter mess and expel them from the sect.
- If he falls to demonic ways, the Twin Venerables cut him down with their swords.
