This chapter opens with a flashback to ancient times, when the xiaoo sect was at war with the Mings. The shura, the main body of shuangism, was defeated by the Ming army, but the remaining members of the sect were unable to defeat the enemy. Now, in the present day, they have no chance against the enemy because of the inflammation of the enemy's body. The elder shangyu, the sixth elder, is the first to realize the severity of the situation. He says that the battle in Sha'yun kingdom is even more intense today than it was in ancient times. He asks if anyone has seen the portrait of the person in the portrait, and the elder replies that no one has. He then asks the elder who has brought everyone to the palace if he has seen anyone in this portrait. He tells the elder to rustle the crowd outside the palace so that the chariot can pass.
