The Seven Freaks of Jiangnan were seven martial artists who roamed the Jianghu (martial arts community).

They made their name at battle of the Yangtze River against the Huaiyang Gang where the Seven were said to have fought over a hundred enemies, notably Seventh Sister, Han Xiaoying was a child who killed two enemies at the time.

Meeting with Qiu Chuji[]

They are first seen when Reverend Jiaomu requests their reinforcement in meeting Qiu Chuji, who accuses him of hiding Li Ping (Guo Xiaotian's wife) held hostage by Duan Tiande, which the Priest has relentlessly tailed to Fahua Temple near Jiaxing. After a display of martial skills between Qiu Chuji & the Seven Freaks, negotiations seemed to fall through where the Taoist Priest decided to storm the Temple & look for Li Ping himself. The Seven Freaks fought Qiu Chuji, injuring one another during the battle. Duan Tiande took advantage of the situation to escape with Li Ping & ended up killing Reverend Jiaomu, confirming Qiu Chuji's suspicions.

After healing their injuries, still unsatified with the results of their previous bouts, Qiu Chuji proposed a challenge: to find the pregnant wives of both Guo Xiaotian & Yang Tiexin, train the children in their respective martial arts & have the students duel in 18 years at the Drunken Immortal Pavillion to test their true prowess in the martial ways.

The Seven were taskes tracing down Li Ping since they could identify her (having nothing to go on with the identity of Bao Xirou). After 6 years, the Seven Freaks traced Li Ping's whereabouts to the north in Mongolia where they finally met their fated student, Guo Jing.
