The Mount Tai Sect (泰山派) is affiliated to Taoism and is led by Tianmen. Tianmen refuses to comply with Zuo Lengshan so Zuo bribes Tianmen's followers to turn against their leader. Tianmen is betrayed and murdered by conspirators during a special ceremony and Yuji is nominated by Zuo to succeed Tianmen. The sect's best fighters are killed when the four sects are trapped by Yue Buqun in a cave at Mount Hua.
