The Seven Freaks of Jiangnan believed that Qiu Qianren was habitually deceptive, that Huang Yaoshi's martial arts were unparalleled, and that the Seven Masters of Quanzhen were also proper individuals. It was impossible for the two sides to fight. Perhaps these were all Qiu Qianren's lies. Huang Rong and others pressed Qiu Qianren, and only from his lying mouth did they learn that Huang Yaoshi was unharmed.

Mei Chaofeng asked Lu Chengfeng to release her disciple Yang Kang, so that the past could be forgotten by both sides. Lu Chengfeng believed that releasing Yang Kang was equivalent to letting a tiger return to the mountains, endangering the Song dynasty's territory. He was willing, for the sake of Yang Kang being Mei Chaofeng's disciple, to let him stay in Guiyun Manor and reflect behind closed doors.

Lu Chengfeng was worried about his master and invited Mei Chaofeng to visit their respected master together on Peach Blossom Island. But Mei Chaofeng, having betrayed her master's sect, had no face to see her master again. She wanted to avenge Chen Xuanfeng and then end her own life to atone for her sins to her respected master.

Guo Jing frankly admitted that he had killed Chen Xuanfeng, asking Mei Chaofeng to come and settle the score with him, and not to seek revenge on his masters in the future. Huang Rong stepped forward and suggested that Mei Chaofeng and Guo Jing determine the winner within ten moves, but Guo Jing was willing to spar with Mei Chaofeng for fifteen moves. After a round of sparring, Mei Chaofeng could not defeat the greatly improved Guo Jing.

Although she did not win against Guo Jing within fifteen moves, Mei Chaofeng was still insistent on avenging Chen Xuanfeng. Guo Jing injured Mei Chaofeng with the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms. Huang Yaoshi appeared and saved Mei Chaofeng, taking her away. Mei Chaofeng did not know that the person who had saved her twice was her master. Huang Yaoshi personally treated Mei Chaofeng's injuries and instructed her to kill Guo Jing.

Huang Rong brewed herbal soup to treat the internal injuries of the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan. Ke Zhen'e, in a fit of pique, refused to drink the soup and was even very dissatisfied with Huang Rong. Huang Rong left in anger. At this moment, Mei Chaofeng returned to Guiyun Manor to challenge Guo Jing. With Huang Yaoshi's assistance, Mei Chaofeng did not fall behind Guo Jing in this match.

Seeing Guo Jing frequently under pressure, Huang Rong also recognized that the masked person assisting Mei Chaofeng was her father, Huang Yaoshi, so she simply stepped forward directly to stop the duel. Eighteen years ago, Duan Tiande abandoned Li Ping on the battlefield. Li Ping gave birth to Guo Jing in the snow, and was later rescued by people from the grasslands.

Guo Jing was educated by his mother from a young age that one day he must return to the Song dynasty to seek revenge on Duan Tiande. At this time, Duan Tiande, hiding in the Taihu Lake waterway, secretly infiltrated the prison and rescued Yang Kang. Huang Yaoshi revealed his true appearance. Mei Chaofeng and Lu Chengfeng both knelt and bowed to their master.

Huang Yaoshi asked Mei Chaofeng for the Nine Yin Manual, but Mei Chaofeng discovered that the Nine Yin Manual she had previously hidden on her person had disappeared, guessing that it was taken by the Skilled Scholar Zhu Cong. But the Skilled Scholar Zhu Cong denied taking the manual. Mei Chaofeng confessed her capital crime.

Huang Yaoshi told Mei Chaofeng to find the person who stole the manual, kill everyone who had read the manual, and then find the descendants of the Peach Blossom Island disciples and send them all to the island. Huang Yaoshi investigated and learned that Lu Chengfeng had not privately taught Peach Blossom Island's martial arts to his son Lu Guanying. He agreed that from then on, Lu Chengfeng could teach Lu Guanying Peach Blossom Island's martial arts.

He also gave a manual of leg techniques to Lu Chengfeng to help him walk freely in the future. Huang Rong did not want to go home, but pressured by her father, she had no choice but to agree to return to the island. Guo Jing caught up to Huang Yaoshi, wanting to keep Huang Rong. Instead, Huang Yaoshi wanted to hold Guo Jing accountable for killing his disciple Chen Xuanfeng.

Huang Rong was worried that her father might actually kill Guo Jing, so she appeased Guo Jing and followed Huang Yaoshi to leave. Yang Kang, who had escaped from prison, brought Duan Tiande to meet the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan. He stated that he had pretended to surrender and stayed by Wanyan Honglie's side with the goal of reclaiming the 'Book of Wumu' for the Song dynasty.

Facing Guo Jing's questioning, Duan Tiande stated that he had harmed Guo Xiaotian years ago under orders, and that person was Wanyan Honglie, the Sixth Prince of Great Jin. Although Duan Tiande begged for mercy from everyone, Guo Jing and Yang Kang still killed him to avenge their parents. Yang Kang and Guo Jing talked over wine. Yang Kang was resentful that he had been deceived by Wanyan Honglie, recognizing a thief as his father for eighteen years.

Guo Jing was furious that Wanyan Honglie had killed his father. He and Yang Kang swore a blood oath and became sworn brothers. They vowed to kill Wanyan Honglie to avenge their fathers. The next day, Guo Jing bid farewell to Lu Chengfeng and his son, preparing to go north with Yang Kang to kill Wanyan Honglie.

He agreed to meet his masters, the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan, at the Drunken Immortal Restaurant in Jiaxing after the first day of the seventh month, and then go to Peach Blossom Island together. The Seven Freaks of Jiangnan worried about Yang Kang's cunning nature and reminded Guo Jing to be more cautious, and also to be wary of the dangers of the Jianghu.
