The men arrive at the mountain temple and are confronted by three masked figures. While Musashi fights them, Kaizen, Sahei and Heikuro try to save Sayo.

The Yoshioka family isn't through with Musashi and his men yet. With Sayo suffering from a fever, Sahei leaves to forage for medicinal herbs.

A strange man named Alfred welcomes Musashi and his friends into the lavish golden mountain before politely — but firmly — asking them to join Iemon.

Years ago, Kensuke Matsuki acknowledged his young disciple's abilities, giving him the name Iemon and joining him in his wicked ambitions.

While escaping with Sayo, Sahei comes across Iemon, who begs and barters with him to save his life. Then, the third traitor reveals themselves.
