The chapter opens with a discussion of the Shaolin sect's many followers going undercover as members of the "demonic sect" . The chapter's narrator explains that the "martial world" is divided into two parts: the "dark side" and the "light side." The dark side is represented by the demonic sect and the light side by the traditional arts. The shaolin sect, in order to prevent the growth of the dark side, has recruited a dozen of its members to go into the "grey area" of the demonic world and convert half of its branches into Buddhist temples. One of these members is about to be sentenced to death. The narrator asks the gang members if they need to disguise themselves as shaolin disciples. The gang members answer that they don't, but the narrator has a second question. He wonders why the shaolin monk went into the female branch of the sect for three years.
