The next day, the haokong tells the master of the sect that his son, Zongyun, has been secretly spying on him. The master tells him to go find Zungyun's evidence of guilt. Three days later, the master calls on the son. The son is shocked to learn that the master has violated the rules of the taoist sect by fighting with the buddhist jinghong and by recruiting a lecherous man named Bai Binglan to join the sect. The father is furious and accuses the son of betraying the sect by spying on chu Lingfeng, a long-time member of the group. The taoists are shocked, but the son insists that he believes Lingfeng to be innocent.
