Years later, upon the wide expanse of the Gobi Desert in Mongolia, Temujin (Genghis Khan) amassed his troops to fight another Mongolian tribe. A young Guo Jing witnessed the battle scene from afar. Seeing a fearless warrior fight with his tribe against Temujin's troops, Guo Jing was impressed. However, Temujin quickly defeated that tribe and forced those tribe's warriors to flee.

Temujin's solider was about to beat Guo Jing when Jebeh appears out of the haystack to save him. Knowing he was about to be killed, Jebeh laments to Temujin and his soldiers that he could not be killed by a hero or die on the battlefield. Temujin was offended when he heard this and got one of his warrior, Bogurchi , to fight Jebeh. Jebeh, thankful for Temujin's generosity, offer to duel with Bogurchi without any arrows. The two duel with Jebeh catching Bogurchi's arrows and using it against him. Jebeh shows off his phenomenal skills as a marksman. Impressed, Temujin offers Jebeh a position in his tribe.

The 2 Jin princes, Wan Yan Ho Lie and his brother, comes to Mongolia to award Temujin and his adopted father. However, their real purpose is to break Temujin's alliance with his two brothers apart so that Temujin will not be able to unite all the Mongolian tribes under one leader and attacked the Jin.

Temujin entertains the 2 princes with wine and sensuous dancing girls.

LOCH Episode 5 Synopsis
At the banquet, Temujin asked the Jin prince if any other Mongolians heroes were gonna be receiving an award, but were told only he and his adopted father. Temujin saw this for the political action it was and informed the Jin princes that there were 2 others heroes, his 2 adopted brothers. But the Jin prince laughed and scoffed at his suggestion of awarding Temujin's 2 brothers also.

Temujin met up with his two adopted brothers and escorted the Jin princes to his adopted father's camp. Along the way they were attacked by an enemy tribe (about 30,000 men) who wished to be awarded as well. Temujin and his troops defeated the ethnic tribe easily. The Jin princes were alarmed at how powerful Temujin's troops are and were more determined to drive a wedge between Temujin and his adopted brothers.

Also at this time, the 7 Weirdos of the South finally finds Guo Jing after years of searching for Guo Jing and his mother, Li Ping. Finding out that Guo Jing was a very slow learner, they agreed to teach him only if he came up to the mountain that night to meet them. Slow comprehension can be overcome with patience but without courage there would be no point in wasting their time.

That night, up in the mountain, the 7 Weirdos waited patiently for Guo Jing to come when they encountered skulls stacked up in a unique combination. Ke Zhen E came to the conclusion that Eastern Herectic's two disciples, Mei Chaofeng and Chen XuangFeng, were hiding Mongolia to learn Nine Yin White Bone Claw, a fierce martial art. Years ago, these two had killed Ke zhen E's two sworn brothers and caused him to blind. Wanting to take revenge, the 7 Weirdos set up a trap for Mei Chaofeng and Chen XuangFeng.

Mei Chaofeng shows up but detect the 7 Weirdos and started attacking and was defeating them, but Ke Zhen E luckily caused her to be blind with his flying darts. Chen XuangFeng shows up shortly after this with Guo Jing as his captive. The 7 Weirdos looked with trepidation at this turn of event. Guo Jing takes out the sword given to him by Qiu Chuji and stabbed Chen XuanFeng and mortally wounded him. Chen XuanFeng laughed ironically at this situation since he was famed throughout the martial world as not fearing any sharp weapon but he was just mortally wounded by a young boy with no martial arts skills. Mei Chaofeng, now blinded, and the mortally wounded Chen XuanFeng fled from the 7 Weirdos, but not before mortally wounding one of the 7 Weirdos (the 5th sworn brother, Zhang ???, as well. Chen XuangFeng before dying told Mei Chaofeng that the manuscript to Nine Yin White Bone Claw were etched on his body and to use the knife that killed him to cut off of his body. They remembered how they had to fled Peach Blossom Isles after stealing this manuscript from their master and remembered their love. Then Chen XuangFeng dies.

Another tender moment was also happening at the scene of the fight. The 5th member in 7 Weirdos of the South were now dying and Han Xiaoying, the 7th member and only female member of the group, were both lamenting at how stupid they were for not publicly acknowledging their love for one another. Guo Jing was told to bowed to his Zhang ??? and calling him master. Zhang ??? dies. The 7 Weirdos accepts Guo Jing as their disciple and descended down from the mountain in the early dawn of the day.

Guo Jing comes down to hear the news that Temujin's adopted brother, San Kun, son had released a herd of horses to trample over Tolui. Guo Jing rushes to rescue ToLui with the help of his new masters. Guo Jing bravely saves Tolui and his sister from being trampled.

Temujin's adopted father reprimanded his grandson, Durksh, and San Kun glowered at Temujin while the Jin princes rejoiced at seeing the wedge that was being created between the 3 brothers. To smooth things over, Temujin promises his youngest daughter, Hua Zheng, to be wedded to Durksh when they become of age. Temujin's adopted father decided to offer one of San Kun's daughters to one of Temujin's son to be his wife....

LOCH Episode 6 Synopsis
Prince Wan Ya Hong Lie seeing the 7 Weirdos of the South tries to avoid them from noticing them since he was fearful that they would recognize him from the restaurant in Chiangnan years ago. Temujin, seeing how adept the 7 Weirdos are, asked them to stay and teach his men some moves. They agreed since this will allow them to be close to Guo Jing. Ke Zhen E relates to Li Ping why they are the one to search for her and not Qui Chuji.

For the next few years, the 6 remaining Weirdos of the South devote their time to teaching Guo Jing martial arts. However, due to his slow understanding, Guo Jing did not learn very much. Temujin's youngest daughter, Hua Zheng, often finds his slow understanding and punishments from his masters very amusing.

One night, Qui Chuji's apprentice, Yin Zhiping, bring news about Yang Kang to the 7 Weirdos of the South, Guo Jing and his mother. But Yin Zhiping also took the opporunity to test Guo Jing's skill and found it very lacking. Yang Kang's skill was suppose to be more advance than Yin Zhiping's. Guo Jin's masters decided they need to force Guo Jing to learn martials arts night and day.

One day, after a long session of training and being punished, Hua Zheng rans up to Guo Jing and informed him that Temujin was hunting condors and for them to go watch. Temujin told his warriors if anyone can shoot down a condor he will be rewarded. Guo Jing with one arrow shot down 2 condors thereby winning favor with Temujin. Guo Jing foolishly asked Temujin if Hua Zheng's engagement to Duruksh, San Kun's son, be annulled. Temujin refused him saying that was a childish request and gave him a jewelled golden dagger instead.

Hua Zheng and Guo Jing found out that the condors that he killed left behind baby condors up high on a cliff. Guo Jing tried but could not reached for them. A Taoist priest named Ma YuFie flew up to the cliff and rescue the condors. Hua Zheng takes the condors and care for them. Ma YuFie offers Guo Jing the chance to learn this skills if he will come at night up that cliff.

That night, Guo Jing attempted to climb up the cliff, but it was too steep. Screaming for help, the Taoist priest drop a rope and help him up. After asking Guo Jing never to reveal to his other masters that he was being taught this skill, Ma YuFie teaches Guo Jing the proper way to meditate and cultivate his internal chi; thereby revealing to Guo Jing that the reason why he was not getting anywhere in his martial arts practice was because his masters in their haste to impart their skills forgot to teach him the foundation to martial arts. So Guo Jing learns meditation skills from the Taoist priest, Ma YuFie.
