Guo Xiang
Many decades later, after realising that Xiangyang (and the Song Dynasty) will eventually fall to Mongol invaders, Guo writes a copy of the "Nine Yin Manual" from memory and hides it inside the blade of the Heaven Reliant Sword (the latest edition of the third novel "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber" states that the scroll is hidden on Peach Blossom Island). He gives this sword to his younger daughter Guo Xiang, who will become the founder of the Emei Sect in the third novel.
