Synopsis

The chapter focuses on two key storylines: the protagonist is challenged to a Go game as a test before learning a martial art, with the teacher emphasizing the depth of Go, and a group of unorthodox martial artists arrives at Mount Qingcheng, revealing they believe their leader is imprisoned there. This leads to a confrontation with the sect, as the sect denies imprisonment but refuses them access to their leader, citing her need for isolated training. The conflict escalates when they try to force their way in.
