Shangguan Qian escaped the Gong Clan's gate and returned to a small courtyard in Dafu City. On a dark, windy night, her heart had turned cold toward Gong Shangjue, and she wanted to destroy Dujuan. Just then, a man in black sought her out and tossed her a sword manual. When she opened it, she found it was the Gushan Sword Technique. Determined to study it diligently, she hoped to find Zhu and take revenge. But she later discovered that the manual was only the first volume, and the second volume was in fact at the Gong Clan's gate. Shangguan Qian decided to find the second volume and investigate the ties between the Gushan Sect and the Gong Clan, while plotting her return to the Gong Clan.
