After leaving Shaolin, he meets a stranger, Xiang Wentian, whom he saves from dozens of enemies. Linghu Chong sinks into despair as he is now an outcast of the "orthodox" side of the jianghu. Linghu Chong later learns from Fangzheng, the Shaolin abbot, that Yue Buqun has publicly announced that he has expelled Linghu Chong from the Mount Hua Sect. Eventually, she brings him to the Shaolin Sect to seek help. Linghu Chong also helps Ren Yingying fend off enemies of the Sun Moon Holy Cult and his injuries worsen over time. By then, Yue Buqun has grown tired of Linghu Chong's association with jianghu lowlifes so he abandons his apprentice. While accompanying his master and Mount Hua Sect fellows on a trip to Luoyang, Linghu Chong encounters Ren Yingying, a key figure of the Sun Moon Holy Cult and falls in love with her, and several jianghu lowlifes, who are friendly towards him and try to heal him. Yue Buqun also becomes suspicious and secretly jealous of his apprentice's sudden leap in swordplay prowess.

The other sects mistakenly think that Linghu Chong's Nine Swords of Dugu is the Bixie Swordplay, and wrongly accuse him of stealing the manual and keeping it for himself. Linghu Chong gets entangled in the conflicts and sustains serious internal injuries while using his newly mastered skill to defend his Mount Hua Sect fellows from attacks by Mount Song Sect members in disguise.
The self-proclaimed righteous Five Mountains Sword Sects Alliance, though seemingly united, is constantly troubled by politicking and infighting among its members. He also encounters Feng Qingyang, a reclusive Mount Hua Sect swordsman, who teaches him the powerful skill Nine Swords of Dugu. During this time, he discovers carvings of swordplay techniques in a cave, practises them, and unknowingly familiarises himself with the skills of the other four sword sects and the counter-moves. His master punishes him by making him stay alone for a year in a secluded area on Mount Hua to reflect on his "misdeeds". At the same time, Linghu Chong's friendship with Tian Boguang leads him into trouble as it is against the Mount Hua Sect's rules to associate oneself with any jianghu lowlife or person from an "evil" sect. Lin Pingzhi's entrance into the Mount Hua Sect causes Linghu Chong's romantic feelings for Yue Lingshan, Yue Buqun's daughter, to subside because she starts falling in love with Lin Pingzhi. (The Chinese title of the novel comes from the name of this fictional piece of music.)
Before dying, Liu Zhengfeng and Qu Yang give Linghu Chong the score of "Xiaoao Jianghu", a musical piece they composed together. Liu Zhengfeng and Qu Yang are cornered by Zuo Lengshan and his men and eventually commit suicide. The event turns into a bloodbath when Zuo Lengshan, the chief of the Mount Song Sect, and other "orthodox" sects accuse Liu Zhengfeng of being unfaithful to their alliance by befriending Qu Yang, an elder of the "evil" Sun Moon Holy Cult. In the meantime, Liu Zhengfeng of the (South) Mount Heng Sect announces his decision to leave the jianghu and invites his fellow martial artists to witness his retirement ceremony. He befriends the notorious bandit Tian Boguang and saves Yilin, a nun from the (North) Mount Heng Sect, from Tian's lecherous advances. The novel's protagonist is Yue Buqun's most senior apprentice, Linghu Chong (令狐冲), an orphaned, happy-go-lucky but honourable swordsman who has a penchant for alcoholic drinks. Yue Buqun, the leader of the Mount Hua Sect-a member of the "orthodox" Five Mountains Sword Sects Alliance-saves Lin Pingzhi, the Lin family's sole survivor, accepting him as an apprentice and training him in swordplay. The Qingcheng Sect's leader Yu Canghai leads his followers to massacre the Lins and attempts to seize the manual to no success. In jianghu or Mauling (martial artists' community), there is a highly coveted martial arts manual known as the Bixie Swordplay Manual, the heirloom of the Lin family, which runs the Fuwei Security Service in Fuzhou.
