  5. If I should change my mind and deny my membership of the Han family I will be killed by six thunderbolts.
  6. If I am arrested after committing an offence I must accept my punishment and not try to place blame on my sworn brothers. If I do so I will be killed by myriads of spears.
  7. When any of my sworn brothers have been assaulted or blamed by others, I must come forward and help him if he is in the right or advise him to desist if he is wrong.

  13. After entering the brotherhood, I shall be loyal and faithful and shall endeavor to undermine all oppressors by coordinating my efforts with those of my sworn brethren, even though my brethren and I may not be in the same professions. Our common aim is to avenge our Six Ancestors. If I break this oath, I shall lose my life to the Secret Dragon.
