Very very long time before from Li Xunhuan, Chu Liuxiang, Shen Lang ve Jiang Xiao Yu‘s ages, who can be familier to ones follow this blog, some other colurful adventures also took places in world of martial art. At that antic time, other than the famous and secluded Huan Hua Palace, the Five Elements Clans (Gold, Tree “Air”, Water, Fire, Earth) ruled the martial arts world. The chiefs of these clans are;

• Gold River Queen (Go Lai-Ga), an ambitious lady with deft martial arts skills and her weapons are two gold silk ribbons.
• Master Yunmeng (Wong Yung), who is chief of the Green Wood (Air) Clan, and also very talented and wise scholar.
• The Purple Robe Duke (Yueh Hua), chief of the White Water Clan and known for his exceptional skills and kindness. Dressed in white and armed with a gold spear.
• The Fire Demon God (Lo Lieh) of the Spirited Fire Clan. He’s a man of cruelty and practises black magic. A bad element who always causes trouble.
• The Black Earth Old Man (Yeung Chi-Hing), who is always a wanderer and drunk. He’s is hardly a leader material. But his clan are the predecessor of the Beggars Clan.

Among these 5 clans, a duel is held inside the magic cave at Tai Lake once every 5 years for the leadership title. Swordsmen from around all the places gather for this important event.
