One day, Linghu Chong (portrayed by Chow Yun-fat) learned that the Forbidden Evil Sword Manual of the Lin Family was coveted by the Qingcheng Sect, and the situation was extremely dangerous, so he went to help with his master Yue Buqun. Unfortunately, they arrived too late, and the Lin Family was wiped out, leaving only the young Lin Pingzhi (portrayed by Dong Wei) behind, whom Yue Buqun then took in as a disciple. One day, Linghu Chong met the nun Yi Lin who had been wronged by evildoers, and later encountered the duo Qu Yang (portrayed by Kam Kwok-Wai) and Liu Zhengfeng (portrayed by Simon Yam), who despite belonging to different sects, formed a strong friendship due to shared interests and were persecuted by various factions, ultimately leading to their deaths. The two passed on their qin and xiao instruments along with the music score of the "Swordsman" melody to Linghu Chong, which resulted in Linghu Chong being mistakenly accused of colluding with the evil cult and being punished to reflect on his actions on a cliff. It was on that cliff that Linghu Chong unexpectedly obtained the secret techniques of the Five Mounts Sword Sect, greatly enhancing his martial arts skills.
