--- Guo Jing buried his mother in an oasis. Tuolei and Huazheng came looking for him there. Knowing that they could not keep Guo Jing, they specifically came to say goodbye. Huazheng secretly telling Temujin about Guo Jing's departure was just because she wanted to keep him, but she didn't expect that this would lead to the death of Guo Jing's mother. Huazheng blamed herself and wanted to atone with her death. Guo Jing stopped Huazheng.

He did not blame her and also thanked them both for coming to see him off. Guo Jing bid farewell to Tuolei and Huazheng and returned to Lin'an, but he was surrounded and beaten by the common people of the Great Song. Fortunately, Qiu Chuji and Ke Zhen'e appeared and rescued Guo Jing. Guo Jing was greatly struck by the deaths of his mother and Huang Rong.

Although he had practiced martial arts since childhood, he couldn't even protect his closest family, lover, and master. Upholding chivalry felt meaningless. Qiu Chuji told Guo Jing that all the literary strategies, military tactics, powerful armies, and sharp weapons in the world could either bring disaster upon the world or benefit mankind.

Guo Jing did not want to fight with others anymore in this life, only wanting to forget all his martial arts and never again involve himself in the grievances of the jianghu. Seeing the current dispirited Guo Jing, Qiu Chuji thought of Zhou Botong, who had once gone through a similar experience. On the street, Guo Jing saw Mu Nianci holding a child. Guo Jing told Mu Nianci the news of Yang Kang's death.

Although Mu Nianci had cut off all ties with Yang Kang, it was unavoidable that she felt sorrow upon hearing of his death. Mu Nianci thought of Yang Kang's misguided life and hoped that her child would grow up to be an upright person and atone for his father's sins. Mu Nianci asked Guo Jing to name the child. Guo Jing believed that Yang Kang had met such an end because he could not repent and start anew.

He hoped that when the child grew up, he would be able to acknowledge his mistakes and correct them, so he named him Yang Guo. Qiu Qianren brought Jin experts to heavily slaughter Song soldiers in the Great Song. Zhou Botong chased after Qiu Qianren to continue fighting him. And on the other side, Qiu Qianren and Ke Zhen'e saw the Jin soldiers being intercepted and also provided assistance.

Guo Jing fell into difficulty; he still couldn't accept why martial arts should be used to resolve all this. Liang Zi Weng saw Guo Jing trapped in the predicament, and took the opportunity to try and drink all his blood. Under Guo Jing's defense, he shook off Liang Zi Weng, causing his death. Qiu Qianren threatened Zhou Botong with a poisonous snake.

Zhou Botong, unable to fight back, sought help from Guo Jing, but Guo Jing, deep in his madness, couldn't hear his plea at all. In the end, Ying Gu arrived and saved Zhou Botong. Guo Jing believed that after studying martial arts for over ten years, he could not only not save Huang Rong and his mother, but also couldn't personally kill the murderer of his five masters.

Furthermore, he had inadvertently helped oppressors and caused the deaths of many Song commoners. In his madness, he wanted to end his own life. At the critical moment, Emperor Duan, Master Yi Deng, intervened and saved Guo Jing. Master Yi Deng told Guo Jing that every peak expert faces this issue during a bottleneck period. Many people, like Guo Jing, will be troubled by inner demons. If they overcome these inner demons, they can become grandmasters like Wang Chongyang.

If they cannot overcome these inner demons, they will be blinded like Qiu Qianren and Ouyang Feng. He thought back to when his seven masters taught him martial arts for upholding chivalry and justice, and how his mother had also taught him to protect his home and people like his father. Guo Jing asked Master Yi Deng if it was also a sin to have the ability but choose to ignore it.

Master Yi Deng told Guo Jing that what kind of person he could become was not determined by martial arts, but by himself. Under Master Yi Deng's guidance, Guo Jing finally sobered up. He stepped forward to face Qiu Qianren. Now, Guo Jing's martial arts had broken through after Master Yi Deng's illumination, and he easily defeated Qiu Qianren.

Guo Jing did not kill Qiu Qianren, but rather hoped he could use his status as a grandmaster to benefit the people. Back then, corrupt officials were in power, and Qiu Qianren's esteemed master died tragically at the hands of the Great Song, making him believe that such a Great Song was not worth saving.

Qiu Qianren had painstakingly practiced martial arts for over ten years, originally intending to expand the Iron Palm Sect, but unexpectedly, he was defeated today by a young newcomer like Guo Jing. With his beliefs collapsing, he intended to end his own life. Master Yi Deng intervened and stopped him, stating that Shangguan Jiannan was originally a subordinate of General Han Shizhong, and later founded the Iron Palm Sect, and had also consistently resisted foreign invaders and recovered lost territories.

Shangguan Jiannan perhaps did not intend for Qiu Qianren to expand the Iron Palm Sect. Qiu Qianren was still unwilling to believe these words. Everyone present was unwilling to kill Qiu Qianren. Ying Gu, however, wanted to strike and kill Qiu Qianren to avenge her son.

Master Yi Deng blocked a blow for Qiu Qianren, believing that if Ying Gu killed Qiu Qianren, the Iron Palm Sect would not let it rest, and the jianghu martial world would be thrown into chaos. Ying Gu originally wanted Zhou Botong to kill Qiu Qianren, but Zhou Botong made an excuse to escape. Ying Gu had no choice but to chase after Zhou Botong.

Master Yi Deng told Qiu Qianren that his master was not saving the Great Song or the court, but actually saving the common people. Under his illumination, Qiu Qianren was willing to follow Master Yi Deng to atone for his sins. Master Yi Deng gave him the Dharma name 'Ci En' and had him study Buddhism with him. The Mongol tribe's attack on the city was imminent. To protect Xiangyang, Guo Jing decided to risk his life and fight.

He infiltrated the Mongol tribe alone, but unexpectedly found Ouyang Feng there. By following Ouyang Feng, he unexpectedly discovered that Huang Rong was still alive. Guo Jing rescued Huang Rong while Ouyang Feng was away from the main tent. The two, reunited after a long separation, learned that Huang Rong had been captured by Ouyang Feng after she left the tent that day. Guo Jing told Huang Rong that his trip was to assassinate Temujin.

As a subject of the Great Song, he did not want to see Temujin invade the Great Song and harm its common people. Huang Rong knew that Guo Jing alone could not resist an army of one hundred thousand, but she was willing to accompany Guo Jing into this situation.

Guo Jing and Huang Rong overheard the conversation between the second prince and Ouyang Feng, and learned that the second prince was preparing to use the army to pressure Temujin into attacking Xiangyang forcefully. Amidst the military chaos, Ouyang Feng wanted to assist the second prince. Guo Jing appeared and blocked Ouyang Feng, luring him away by citing the mysteries of the Nine Yin Manual. After several rounds of fighting, Ouyang Feng was not Guo Jing's match.

He was unwilling to lose to a junior like Guo Jing. Ouyang Feng, who was obsessed with cultivating the Nine Yin Manual, became delirious and didn't even know who he was. He was tricked by Huang Rong into fighting the shadow of the current world's number one, 'Ouyang Feng', to spend the rest of his life. Guo Jing appeared in the Mongol yurt and asked if the Great Khan's order to withdraw from Xiangyang was true.

Temujin left Guo Jing alone in the main tent. Earlier, he had intended to recruit Guo Jing as his son-in-law, but later realized that Guo Jing would always be a Han Chinese and would naturally pledge allegiance to the Great Song. He knew the purpose of Guo Jing's trip, and now that he was critically ill, he didn't need Guo Jing to take action. Temujin did not want to see Guo Jing and Tuolei face each other in battle.

Today, Guo Jing did not take advantage of the conflict between Tuolei and his brother to harm anyone; Guo Jing was a person who valued relationships and righteousness no matter where he was. Guo Jing believed that in his view, a hero of the current generation must be someone who benefits the common people and cares for them; killing many people does not necessarily make one a hero.

Temujin, however, believed that conquering the world and killing countless enemies throughout his life was what made a hero. The Mongol tribe withdrew their troops. Guo Jing did not know if he could stop the Mongol tribe's next southern invasion, but he was willing to strive for this his entire life. Huang Rong took Guo Jing to observe the Mount Hua Summit Debate.

At the peak of Mount Hua, the Southern Emperor had retired, the Western Poison had not arrived, and only the Northern Beggar Hong Qigong and the Eastern Heretic Huang Yaoshi were present for the appointment. Huang Rong had Guo Jing participate in the Mount Hua Summit Debate, fighting two against one.

If Hong Qigong and Huang Yaoshi could not defeat Guo Jing within three hundred moves, then Guo Jing would be the winner of this year's Mount Hua martial arts competition. The chivalrous deeds of the great hero Guo Jing were widely spread. Meanwhile, the young Yang Guo lived in seclusion in the countryside with his mother Mu Nianci, about to begin the story of another jianghu hero.
