Subsequently charged with betrayal, Joeng Zung-bou faces imprisonment. Meanwhile, his pregnant daughter-in-law Wai Ling-ji escapes and encounters operatives working for the power-hungry prince Ziu Dak-jam. She is saved by the loyal general Dik Cing, who conveys their appeal to Judge Baau Cing, resulting in the liberation of the Joeng family. The banner then reappears within Western Xia territory, prompting Dik Cing and Joeng Zung-bou to embark on a mission to reclaim it.
