Senior gongsun is seriously injured by the blow from the flying swordsman. He has lost all of his strength and is unable to fight. He is accompanied by the swordsman, who tells him that the demon lord's conspiracy is to revive the demon and bring disaster on the world. He tells him to take the spring cure from the herb-king's-valley, which is believed to be the holy remedy. The spring cure warms his stomach, which in turn strengthens his inner strength. He exclaims that the sword array in the advisor's garden has been destroyed and that the demoness has entered the garden.
