The followers of this clan were taught special powers by their leader (for example one of Dai Seik Tin's apprentice, Shen Mu, who acquired light healing skills). After Juet Mou San was vanquished by [[Mou Ming|Nameless]] and Co., this clan emerged as a new threat in the martial world, actively recruiting many fighters to join its ranks. Those who "willingly" became followers include [[Po Kuan]] and [[Duen Long]]. Others were recruited against their will, for example [[Huai Kong]]. Nevertheless, Dai Seik Tin never showed his true self to anyone, preferring to surround himself with a thick layer of ice. With the many fighters at his disposal, Dai Seik Tin brought chaos to the martial world. He ordered the kidnap of [[Mou Ming|Nameless]] as well as [[Bou Keng Wan|Cloud]] and [[Nip Fung|Wind]]'s families. He intended to spare [[Bou Keng Wan|Cloud]]'s life so that he can use [[Bou Keng Wan|Cloud]] for an unknown purpose. He knew that [[Nip Fung|Wind]] and [[Bou Keng Wan|Cloud]] together will pose an unimaginable threat to himself so he ordered for the termination of [[Nip Fung|Wind]] (which was of course unsuccessful). ==Dai Seik Tin's ex-master== On the way to rescue his family, [[Bou Keng Wan|Cloud]] met another mysterious but wise man named Chui Fook (徐福) who claimed to be the ex-master of Dai Seik Tin. Chui Fook told [[Bou Keng Wan|Cloud]] that he was one of the ministers in the Qin emperor Shih Huang Ti's court. Shih Huang Ti had ordered Chui Fook to find the Elixir of Life. Suspecting that phoenix blood might give immortality, he and his followers succeeded in capturing and killing the phoenix. However before presenting the phoenix blood to the emperor, he realised the terrible implications of a ruthless man like Shih Huang Ti ruling the world forever. He then drank the phoenix blood himself and ran away from the palace. It was only years later that he found out that his complexion had not changed a bit and thus he could live forever. After centuries of learning, Chui Fook had acquired the ability to prolong others' lives too. About 200 years earlier, Chui Fook recruited a brilliant student who later learnt this ability to prolong life. This student desired so much to be immortal that he turned evil and became the phantom menace Dai Seik Tin. Surrounding oneself in ice was in fact one of the methods to prevent ageing. Chui Fook explained to [[Bou Keng Wan|Cloud]] that the reason why Dai Seik Tin was recruiting fighters was to prepare for the appearance of the legendary dragon. Chui Fook believed that Dai Seik Tin wanted to get his hands on the Dragon Sphere to achieve immortality that Chui Fook enjoyed. Chui Fook intended to help the martial world get rid his disobedient apprentice Dai Seik Tin but he preferred to do things behind the scene, therefore he approached [[Bou Keng Wan|Cloud]] for help. They could then fight against one common enemy. ==Desire to obtain the Dragon Sphere== Legends claimed that the dragon is the leader of the 4 mystical beasts (dragon, phoenix, fire kirin and dragon-tortoise) and therefore the dragon's Sphere could have more powerful properties compared to phoenix blood. Dai Seik Tin's high astrological skills managed to deduce that the dragon would make an appearance at a particular date and time. Curious to get his hands on the Dragon Sphere, he launched a recruitment drive to get the 7 weapons required to kill the dragon, namely: * [[Bou Keng Wan|Cloud]]'s Ultimate Superior Sword * [[Mou Ming|Nameless]]' Hero Sword held by Kim Sun * [[Royal Shadow]]'s Lonely Blade * [[Duen Long]]'s Fire Kirin Sword * [[Po Kuan]]'s sabre Heavenly Blade and his sword Greedy Wolf * [[Huai Kong]]'s "beastly" weapon Sin of Heaven <!-- Commented out because image was deleted: [[Image:seven_weapons.jpg|thumb|The seven weapons required to slay the dragon]] --> ==Plans Backfired== Shen Jiang, the man who was ordered by Daik Seik Tin to terminate [[Nip Fung|Wind]] failed in his task. [[Nip Fung|Wind]] was rescued by the passing by [[Mou Ying Hung]]. Most of the fighters recruited by Dai Seik Tin to kill the dragon harboured intentions to rob the Dragon Sphere for themselves. As soon as the dragon fell dead and released the Sphere, Shen Jiang, [[Duen Long]] and [[Po Kuan]] fought one another to be the first to reach the glowing hot Dragon Sphere. However, it was [[Bou Keng Wan|Cloud]] who managed to grab hold of the Sphere with his heat resistant Kirin Arm. Just when Dai Seik Tin made his move to snatch the Sphere from [[Bou Keng Wan|Cloud]], [[Nip Fung|Wind]] appeared and fought Dai Seik Tin alongside [[Bou Keng Wan|Cloud]]. In the midst of the duel, Dai Seik Tin released an ice bullet to destroy the Dragon Sphere. The power was insufficient for its purpose. As a result, the Dragon Sphere was broken into 7 Dragon Pills and Dai Seik Tin only managed to obtain 1 Pill. The other 5 Pills were taken by [[Nip Fung|Wind]], [[Bou Keng Wan|Cloud]], [[Huai Kong]], [[Royal Shadow]], Shen Jiang, while the final Pill was lost. The fate of the Dragon Pills obtained by: * [[Nip Fung|Wind]]: absorbed by [[Bou Keng Wan|Cloud]] * [[Bou Keng Wan|Cloud]]: absorbed by [[Po Kuan]] * [[Huai Kong]]: Indirectly absorbed by the frozen [[Nip Fung|Wind]] and [[Bou Keng Wan|Cloud]] 20 years after their duel with [[Duen Long]] * [[Royal Shadow]]: Swindled and absorbed by [[Duen Long]] * Shen Jiang: initially swallowed by Dai Seik Tin but absorbed by [[Duen Long]] after killing Dai Seik Tin * Dai Seik Tin: absorbed himself * The lost one was found and absorbed by Juet Sum much later ==Shocking Revelations== Dai Seik Tin, as the comic later revealed, was actually the immortal Chui Fook himself. Being an immortal, Chui Fook had experienced almost all human desires throughout his lifespan of several thousands of years. To be powerful, he learnt various martial stances and even became an emperor once. He had loved women of every generation and made many friends. However, nothing lasts in this world. Everyone will age and die. Having endured heartbreaks whenever a friend or lover dies, soon Chui Fook decided that his life is too long for being sad. Instead he decided to live an exciting life by becoming the puppetmaster of the martial world. Being the good and the bad, he would be able to change people's destiny however he wanted and derive entertainment from it. That was why he created an alter ego by the name Dai Seik Tin, alleging that this Dai Seik Tin was his disobedient apprentice. As Chui Fook, he would recruit good guys to fight against Dai Seik Tin and the Tian Men clan. As Dai Seik Tin, he would train the bad guys to fight the good guys. <!-- Deleted image removed: [[Image:Chuifook.jpg|thumb|200px|Chui Fook: Dai Seik Tin unmasked]] --> ==Death== His arrogance as an immortal became his undoing. By launching the mission to obtain the Dragon Sphere, he opened the possibility for mortal fighters to derive great powers from the Dragon Pills. By underestimating the Dragon-Pill-boosted [[Bou Keng Wan|Cloud]], he lost the duel with [[Bou Keng Wan|Cloud]] and also his invincibility. By mixing a Dragon Pill with phoenix blood in his body caused unknown side-effects. By recruiting the cunning [[Duen Long]] into his clan, he led [[Duen Long]] to dream of becoming invincible and for that reason, he was killed by the would-be Kirin Demon.
