White Lotus Cult
Once an organization dedicated to overthrow the Qing dynasty and restore the Ming dynasty, the White Lotus Cult has disintegrated into many sects during the reign of Emperor Guangxu. The most powerful one is led by Chan, who orchestrates the assassination of Empress Dowager Cixi and then saves her life, strengthening his power and framing his rival, Chin Chen. Chin Chen narrowly escapes and bumps into San. He entrusts San to find his daughter, Tieh.
Later, Tieh and Hung attempt to find Chin Chen, who has been captured by Chan. Although they manage to save him, Hung is injured. Chen and Hung teach San their kung fu. When Chin Chen dies of his severe injuries, Tieh insists on seeking revenge. She claims to have the secret scroll of the White Lotus Cult to get close to Chan and kill him.
