Synopsis
Gui Huasheng, second son of Gui Zhongming, refuses to accept defeat at the hands of Tang Xiaolan and Feng Ying.

There he meets Princess Hua Yu of Nepal, who understands Chinese culture, and together they begin to develop a new sword art. The setting spans the Kunlun Mountains, the Potala Palace in Tibet, Nepal and the Himalayas, with lamas, masters from India and Arabia, and warriors loyal to rival factions among the supporting cast.
