Together with his followers, SUI CHUEN succeeds in killing SUT CHING. On hearing the news, SIN CHEUNG loses her mind and seeks to kill YIP LING. SUI CHUEN is able to stop the murder in time and puts SIN CHEUNG in jail. Intimidated and humiliated by YIP LING, SIN CHEUNG finally commits suicide in the prison.
CHEUNG FAT has been entrusted with more power. Afraid SUI CHING's followers will stage a comeback, he orders mass killing and begins to build up his own camp.
YIP LING conspires with CHIU SHAO and poisons SUI CHUEN with a kind of drug which saps his energy gradually. Due to his poor health, SUI CHUEN neglects his work and YIP LING is able to seize power.
