Plot

[edit]

The story describes that Prince Wuyi abused his power to seize the Purple Light Sword, even killing Gan Daxiong and forcing Xu Mu to leave. He also ordered his son Lu Tianxia to lead the evil family slaves to break into Gan's fortress, and to seize the sword by force in the name of mourning. When the three daughters of the Gan family, Shengnan, Yanan, and Chaonan, were in panic, Xu Jin, a cousin of the Gan family, came to visit and joined forces to kill the evil slaves. However, Xu Jin, Shengnan and others were injured in the battle, and Yanan, who was unharmed, went to Feihu Ridge to ask for reinforcements. While the Gan family was recovering from their injuries, Lu lured the Five Tigers of Jianghu to attack the Gan family again. Xu Jin and others were outnumbered, and Shengnan was captured. Xu Jin and Chaonan tried their best to protect the Purple Light Sword and escaped at the risk of their lives.
