• You Tanzhi (Chinese: 游坦之; Mandarin Pinyin: Yóu Tǎnzhī; Jyutping: Jau4 Taan2-zi1) is the heir to Heroes' Gathering Manor (聚賢莊; Ju Xian Zhuang), owned by his father You Ji and uncle You Ju. The manor hosts a meeting for the Han Chinese wulin (martial artists' community) to discuss plans to deal with Qiao Feng. Qiao Feng appears at the gathering and engages the martial artists in a bloody battle. The You brothers are defeated and commit suicide in shame. You Tanzhi becomes a pauper and orphan overnight and he bears a grudge against Qiao Feng for his plight. You Tanzhi is captured by raiding Liao soldiers at the border and sold into slavery. He meets Qiao Feng (renamed to Xiao Feng) again and attempts to kill the latter but fails. Xiao Feng lets him go, but A'zi has him captured again after his release. While A'zi tortures You Tanzhi for her sadistic amusement, You is so entranced by A'zi's beauty that he develops a crush on her and willingly succumbs to her commands and becomes her source of entertainment. A'zi forces You Tanzhi to have an iron mask welded onto his head to conceal his identity. This causes You's face to be marred and disfigured, and he is nicknamed "Iron Clown" (traditional Chinese: 鐵丑; simplified Chinese: 铁丑; Mandarin Pinyin: Tié Chǒu; Jyutping: Tit3 Cau2) by A'zi. You Tanzhi eventually discovers A'zi using her stolen shenmu wangding (神木王鼎) to practise the venom-based martial arts of the Xinxiu Sect. She enlists his help in helping her to finish practising, as this skill requires the user to feed venomous creatures with his/her blood. You Tanzhi willingly sacrifices himself and allows the poisonous insects to bite him. A'zi leaves him to die but he finds the Yijin Jing by chance and uses the skills in the manual to purge the poison from his body. He returns to A'zi, and he repeats the bizarre ritual with her numerous times. He is eventually bitten by the Icy Worm, an extremely rare and poisonous creature, and masters a powerful skill that allows him to project streams of energy containing icy venom. After A'zi is blinded by Ding Chunqiu, You Tanzhi saves her and promises her he will always be by her side to take care of her. She does not realise who he is, and he lies to her that his name is Zhuang Juxian (traditional Chinese: 莊聚賢; simplified Chinese: 庄聚贤; Mandarin Pinyin: Zhuāng Jùxián; Jyutping: Zong1 Zeoi6-jin4; a new name he thought of by rearranging the three Chinese characters that make up the name of his old home, Ju Xian Zhuang). You Tanzhi later meets Quan Guanqing, who helps him remove the iron mask, but also manipulates him into becoming the new chief of the Beggars' Sect under his new name "Zhuang Juxian". You is actually a puppet chief under Quan's control, and Quan instigates him to challenge the Shaolin Sect. At Shaolin, You sees A'zi being captured and held hostage by Ding Chunqiu. Ding threatens to kill A'zi if You does not kneel down and call him "Master", and You, in his capacity as the Beggars' Sect's chief, agreed to Ding's demands in front of everyone present there. After the battle at Shaolin, You Tanzhi is denounced as a traitor of the Beggars' Sect and the wulin because he yielded to Ding Chunqiu earlier and he becomes an outcast. You Tanzhi is still unwilling to give up his love for A'zi and follows her everywhere. He decides to give up his eyes to help the blinded A'zi regain her sense of sight, hoping to win some love and sympathy from her, but is despised by her even more. He follows suit after A'zi commits suicide.

• You Ji (Chinese: 游骥; Mandarin Pinyin: Yóu Jì; Jyutping: Jau4 Kei3) and You Ju (traditional Chinese: 游駒; simplified Chinese: 游驹; Mandarin Pinyin: Yóu Jū; Jyutping: Jau4 Keoi1) are the brothers who own the Heroes' Gathering Manor. Together with the physician Xue Muhua, they host a meeting of the Han Chinese wulin at the manor to discuss plans to deal with Qiao Feng, who is believed to be responsible for a series of murders. Qiao Feng shows up at the manor to find Xue Muhua to heal A'zhu. The martial artists confront him and the situation escalates into a bloody battle after Qiao Feng toasts to break ties with many of his old friends and acquaintances. The You brothers lose to Qiao Feng in a fight and their weapons (also their family heirlooms) are shattered. They commit suicide in shame, causing You Tanzhi to become traumatised, and You has since bore a grudge against Qiao Feng for that.

• Jiumozhi (traditional Chinese: 鳩摩智; simplified Chinese: 鸠摩智; Mandarin Pinyin: Jīumózhì; Jyutping: Kau2-mo1-zi3) is the royal advisor of the Kingdom of Tubo and a reputable monk from Dalun Temple (大輪寺). He is well-versed in Buddhism and martial arts, but does not follow the Buddhist code of conduct, which includes his obsession to become the most powerful fighter in the wulin. He attempts to take the "Six Meridians Divine Sword" manual from Heavenly Dragon Monastery, but the book is destroyed. When he learns that Duan Yu has memorised the book, he kidnaps the latter and tries to con or intimidate Duan to write the manual for him, but Duan escapes with the help of A'zhu and A'bi. He almost dies from an imbalance of inner energy due to compulsive training, but Duan Yu saves his life by draining away the energy. He feels grateful to Duan despite losing everything he had built up through years of practice, and repents after seeing how his delusional dream had caused him to stray from the path of goodness.
