In this chapter, we learn that the crazy old guy is still alive and well. He's been living in the land for thousands of years, and he's still the same crazy old man. But who is this crazy old woman? It's not clear who she is, but it's clear that she's the old woman who appeared on the mountain two months ago. The old man says that the people who have climbed the mountain deserve to die, because they're too weak to resist the forces of the Ming family. The Ming family has come to the mountain to steal the loot, so the old man tells the young man that he has two choices: join them or die. The young man wants to join them, but he doesn't want to risk his reputation by joining them. He wants to fight Ming's forces head on with his current cultivation. Ming says that he'll join them if he can, because Ming is no match for his current strength. The two men make a bet: Ming will win if he fights Ming head on, and Ming will lose if he loses. Ming asks if the Ming people are familiar with him from two years ago. They are, after all, the same old people who ran away from him. Ming is surprised that Ming is still running away, and asks why he hasn't run away yet. Ming reminds him that the jiangs aren't as forgetful as he is. The horseman recognizes Ming again, and the two men have a little spat about running away.
