Later, in the investigation ovr the defeat, the Justice Pao finds solid evidence against Loong of his fraternization with Liao, which leads to the execution of Loong, and thus arouses hatred between Yang's Family and Loong's father, the Grand Tutor Pong.
Realizing his identity as a Yang's offspring after being out of contact with the Yangs for ages, Liao General Yollig Chung-Yuen returns to the land of Song for a reunion with his own birth parents. Seeing it a chance to maliciously revenge on the Yangs, Pong strives for the execution of Chung-Yuen.
