One day, Linghu Chong (played by Chow Yun-fa) learned that the Lin family's exorcism sword manual was coveted by the Qingcheng Sect, and the situation was extremely critical. So he and his master, Yue Buqun, went to help. However, they were too late. The Lin family was brutally wiped out, leaving only their youngest son, Lin Pingzhi (played by Dong Wei). Yue Buqun then took Lin Pingzhi as his disciple. One day, Linghu Chong met the female nun Yilin who was murdered by a villain. Later, he also met Qu Yang (played by Gan Guowei) and Liu Zhengfeng (played by Andy Lau). Although they belonged to the good and evil sects respectively, they shared similar interests and developed a deep friendship. However, as a result, they were persecuted by various sects and eventually lost their lives. The two presented Linghu Chong with the score of "Smiling, Proud Wanderer" in harmony between the zither and the xiao, but this led to Linghu Chong being misunderstood as colluding with a cult and being punished to climb a cliff to reflect on his mistakes. On the cliff, Linghu Chong unexpectedly obtained the secret manual of the Five Great Sword Sects. After practicing it, his martial arts skills greatly improved.[Collapse]
