In the early years of Tongzhi in the Qing Dynasty, hair twisting was rampant. Wang Daolong, the leader of the Huaiyang faction, "Eagle Claw King", learned that the Nian bandits were preparing to attack Tongguan, so he sent his eldest disciple Hua Yunfeng to deliver a letter to his benefactor Yang Wenhuan, hoping that he would come to his station to avoid trouble. Unexpectedly, Hua Yunfeng's letter was stolen by a thief on his way there, resulting in Yang Wenhuan being wrongfully accused of collaborating with the enemy and treason. Wang Daolong came to the rescue in person, but due to his feud with the Fengwei Gang in his early years, the Fengwei Gang took the opportunity to kidnap Hua Yunfeng and Yang Wenhuan's daughter, Yang Fengmei, who was a disciple of the Huashan Ciyun Temple. As a result, the Huaiyang and Huashan factions fought against Feng Lun and Hu Can, the chief rudders of the West Road of the Fengwei Gang, and others, and even made an appointment to go to their chief rudder "Yandang Mountain Twelve Links Dock" for a showdown.
