Twilight of a Nation - Season 1 Episode 33
SHEK LAN refuses to make the sword for SUI CHING which he believes that only God can possess. SUI CHING is infuriated by the humiliation. Disguised once again as God's embodiment, SUI CHING makes SUI CHUEN believe that SHEK LAN is a traitor and SUI CHUEN orders him to be executed. YUK SHING trusts SHEK LAN but is not able to convince SUI CHUEN. Escaped from the Taipings with the help of YUK SHING and SUI SHING, SHEK LAN is pursued by Ching soldiers. Impressed by his integrity, KWOK FANG invites SHEK LAN to join his army. SHEK LAN is in despair but neither does he want to serve the Ching government, and he finally chooses suicide. SUI CHUEN goes to the mountain alone for a period of meditation. YIP LING seeks the opportunity to get closer to SUI CHUEN but to no avail. She therefore contrives to create misunderstanding between SUI CHUEN and SHUK KUEN, and succeeds in kindling a likeness from SUI CHUEN.
