When the Tree Demon attempts to take Shi Fang, the master intervenes and uses a spell to transport his disciple to safety.
Being rivals for the favor of the Tree Demon, Butterfly plots to capture the monk and expose her sister's betrayal.
However, Butterfly becomes suspicious of her sister Lotus. Over the next few nights, Shi Fang is visited by Lotus and the two become fond of each other. Beset by thieves and ne'er-do-wells in the villages, the monks opt to spend the night at the local temple, which is none other than the Orchid Temple of the first film. On their travels they meet the relatively honorable mercenary Yin.
