Guo Jing detected that Torei and Huazheng were in trouble from the sound of the white eagle's cry. He quickly took Huang Rong and rushed to their rescue. Qiu Qianren led the Jin soldiers to intercept the Mongol delegation. He originally planned to order his men to kill Huazheng, Torei, and the others directly, but unexpectedly Guo Jing arrived just in time and saved them. The Wangfu experts were no match for Guo Jing.
They originally wanted Qiu Qianren to step in and deal with Guo Jing and Huang Rong. Huang Rong revealed Qiu Qianren's identity as a swindler. Qiu Qianren, being stubborn, didn't mind Huang Rong hitting him and even bluffed that he would wait for Huang Yaoshi to find him. Huang Rong didn't believe what he said and beat him until he fled in a panic. Huang Rong chased after Qiu Qianren, but unexpectedly, Huang Yaoshi also followed.
Qiu Qianren knew he couldn't fight Huang Yaoshi and originally wanted to arrange a sparring session for another day, but Huang Yaoshi believed that sparring depended on the two people involved, not the location. The two were about to start sparring, but unexpectedly, Qiu Qianren suddenly refused, claiming he had severe abdominal pain. Taking advantage of Qiu Qianren's departure, Huang Rong snatched the Iron Palm Sect token from him.
Guo Jing fought against the Wangfu experts by himself, but they unexpectedly held Huazheng hostage to threaten him. At the critical moment, Guo Jing and Torei cooperated seamlessly, successfully repelling the Wangfu experts and saving Huazheng. Huang Yaoshi discovered that Guo Jing and Huazheng were very close and questioned Guo Jing about her identity. Torei also asked Guo Jing when he would return to the grasslands to marry Huazheng.
When Huang Yaoshi learned that Guo Jing already had an engagement, he accused him of playing with his daughter's feelings. In front of everyone, Guo Jing stated that he had always treated Huazheng as his younger sister since childhood. Huazheng was enraged and felt abandoned by Guo Jing, so she turned and left. Yang Kang and Mu Nianci arrived in Yuezhou and saw the conflict between the Clean-Clothes Faction and the Dirty-Clothes Faction of the Beggar Clan.
Yang Kang appeared holding the Dog-Beating Stick and persuaded everyone. The Beggar Clan members, fearing the Dog-Beating Stick as the Clan Chief's token, all listened to what Yang Kang said, which made Yang Kang feel greatly pleased. Mu Nianci privately instructed Yang Kang not to show the Dog-Beating Stick in public and told him to return it to Hong Qigong as soon as possible.
Yang Kang outwardly agreed to Mu Nianci, but secretly his greed for the Dog-Beating Stick began to grow. That night, Yang Kang took the Dog-Beating Stick to meet the Beggar Clan elders. He claimed that he had come to attend the Beggar Clan conference on Hong Qigong's dying wish.
Yang Kang also told the elders that Hong Qigong had died at the hands of Huang Yaoshi and Guo Jing, and that he had already been accepted by Hong Qigong as his disciple. Yang Kang explained that the reason he knew the Nine Yin White Bone Claw was because Mei Chaofeng had taught him a few moves when he was a child.
Later, while wandering the Jiangnan region righting wrongs, he encountered a great villain and was saved by Hong Qigong in a moment of crisis. Afterwards, the two were attacked by Huang Yaoshi and Guo Jing at Niujia Village. He risked his life to save Hong Qigong, and Hong Qigong accepted him as a disciple before his death and presented him with the Beggar Clan token, the Dog-Beating Stick.
The three Beggar Clan elders believed Yang Kang's words, thinking that Hong Qigong had passed the position of Beggar Clan Chief to Yang Kang before his death, and firmly supported Yang Kang as the successor. Because Guo Jing admired Yue Fei, Huang Rong had asked Huang Yaoshi for a painting from Qu Lingfeng's secret room to give to Guo Jing. While resting during their journey, the two unexpectedly discovered a clue about the Wumu Testament hidden within the painting.
They decided to keep this information a secret and not let the Jin people know the true location of the Wumu Testament. Guo Jing and Huang Rong arrived in Yuezhou. While dining at a tavern, the two unexpectedly met Lu Youjiao from the Beggar Clan. Lu Youjiao recognized them as Hong Qigong's disciples.
Hearing them mention Qiu Qianren, Lu Youjiao warned Huang Rong not to underestimate Qiu Qianren, but Huang Rong, based on her experience, was certain that Qiu Qianren was a complete swindler. Yang Kang took Mu Nianci to the tavern to eat and unexpectedly saw Guo Jing. He quickly took Mu Nianci and temporarily left.
Huang Rong recognized Lu Youjiao as the leader of the Dirty-Clothes Faction, while Elder Jian and others who entered the tavern to eat afterwards were elders of the Clean-Clothes Faction. Huang Rong knew the two factions had always been in conflict and advised Elder Lu Youjiao to have the members of the Dirty-Clothes Faction dress more cleanly, so that their disputes could be resolved. Unexpectedly, Elder Lu Youjiao became angry and left because of this.
Elder Peng came to tell Guo Jing and Huang Rong that they had been poisoned by Elder Lu Youjiao. For this, he even specifically brought them the antidote. Huang Rong naturally didn't believe what he said. Seeing that persuasion was ineffective, both sides began to fight, and Elder Peng took the opportunity to knock the two unconscious. Elder Peng gave the painting from Guo Jing's bag to Yang Kang.
Although the painting was damaged, Guo Jing had carried it with him the entire way. Yang Kang studied it and discovered clues about the Wumu Testament hidden within the painting. Guo Jing and Huang Rong woke up and found they were tied up in a dark room by Elder Peng. Now they couldn't escape the ropes and could only wait for Elder Peng to arrive to find out what he intended to do.
