Yang Guo eyes the strange girl with the two swords suspiciously as she asks for directions to the Ancient Tomb in Zhong Nan Mountain. He tries to run away but the girl trips him up using a silken belt. Yang Guo then realizes that she is using the style of Ancient Tomb Sect Kung Fu (Gumu Bai) and suspects that she must be Li Mo Chou (Serpent Deity), his Gugu's senior kung fu disciple sister. The girl points a sword at him and threatens to kill him if he does not obey her and lead her to the tomb. Under threat, Yang Guo is therefore forced to disobey his master's command and go back.
As they near the place, Yang Guo begins to worry about Xiao Long Nuu (Dragon Girl). He hurries his steps, partly to try to lose the girl and partly because he wants to lay his eyes on his Gugu once more. When he enters the chamber, he finds Long lying motionless on the floor. The girl, who has managed to catch up with Yang Guo, bows to her and introduces herself as Hong Ling Bo, the pupil of Li Mo Chou. She says that she has come to take the secret of Ancient Tomb Sect, Maiden's Sutra. When Long asks her if her kung fu sister knows about this, Hong merely laughs, saying that she wants the sutra for herself.
While Hong was not paying attention to him, Yang Guo suddenly lunges towards her and gives her Paralyzing Punch, sealing her cease-nodes and blocking the flow of blood and chi in her body. Hong looks at him angrily, surprised that he knows the technique. Xiao Long Nuu then tells Yang Guo that they must leave quickly for Li Mo Chou might not be far behind. As she says this, her kung fu sister enters the chamber. Yang Guo immediately recognizes her as the woman who once attacked him with poisoned needles in the forest.
Li Mo Chou is angry with her pupil and wants to kill her for her betrayal. But she gives her a condition instead. She would not kill Hong if she promises to obey her all her life. Hong swears and Li releases her from Yang Guo's Paralyzing Punch. Then she greets her junior kung fu sister asks her why she broke the sect rules by letting Yang Guo, a man enter it.
