MAN is delighted to receive CHUNG’s letter proposing an alliance. He is now more confident of becoming the emperor. SHING reports MAN’s rebellion to YUEN, who is doubtful. SHING and KAT set up a plot and invite MAN and the TWIN DRAGONS to meet at the Xuanwu Gate with the excuse of settlement, but plan to ambush them with the Heterodox Realm’s power. The TWIN DRAGONS and MAN are fighting SHING and KAT when HUI YIN suddenly appears. HUI YIN is defeated and killed. NI asks NING and CHI to a meeting to stop them from helping the TWIN DRAGONS. MAN is nearly killed by SHING and the TWIN DRAGONS save him. Finally, the TWIN DRAGONS kill SHING and KAT. YUEN is devastated to learn of his sons’ death. He is even more furious when MAN forces him to step down from the throne. NI wants to take revenge on MAN; she persuades YUEN to order MAN to kill the TWIN DRAGONS.
