Story
Von Sayyuk and his wife, Tkhin Tkhin, are now full members of the Red Flower community under the control of Sayyuk's godfather, Chan Kalok. Kalok's henchman, Yu Changhui, confronts Sayyuk and hurts him. Members of the community do not know that in fact, Kalok is the younger brother of Emperor Qianlong , and can renounce loyalty to him if they learn this truth. Meanwhile, the Japanese ronin find evidence of the origin of Kaloka and want to transfer it to Qianlong.
Kalok sends Sayyuk to intercept the evidence from the Japanese, but Sayyuk is distracted by the girl who is in trouble, and instead of her mission helps her. At the most dangerous moment for Sayyuk, when he almost dies at the hands of the ronin, his mother, Miu Chöyfa, appears and saves him. Despite this, the ronin manages to leave and pass on to , governor of Guangdong province . The girl Sayyuk saved earlier is Xun Onyan, daughter of the governor. Kalok wants Sayyuk to take part in the martial arts competition in order to win Onyan and at the same time take the evidence from the governor. Onyan already fell in love with his savior and married him to the misfortune of Tkhin Tkhin. However, the governor is aware of Sayyuk’s intentions, so he sets up a trap. Onyan persuades his father to free her husband, threatening to commit suicide.
Sayyuk returns to the Red Flower community and acknowledges the failure of the mission. Since he had previously promised that he would finally go out of business if he failed, Chanhui forces Kalok to abide by the agreement, so Kalok cripples Sayyuk, which will prevent him from practicing martial arts. While Sayyuk is recovering, Chanhui incites other members against the current leader of the community and is in a dominant position. Chanhoy sends people to kill Sayyuk to shut up. Sayyuk manages to escape, but his mother is taken prisoner. He returns to save his mother, blindfolded, so as not to see his former brothers shed blood. It turns out that Kalok pretended to mutilate Sayyuk. In a long battle with Sayyuk Chanha dies. The winner frees Kaloka and returns him to his former position. Two wives of Sayyuk come to peace between themselves, and Sayyuk himself decides to leave the world of martial arts in order to devote himself to his family.
