Li Jing, intending to imprison Qingqang's spirit in the Great Purple Palace and end their conflict, was unexpectedly killed by Qingqang, who brought the Double-Sided Halberd out of the Donghuang Bell. Qingqang mocked Li Jing, calling him his "good son" and claiming Li Jing's death granted him over 100,000 years of cultivation, empowering him for revenge.

Qingqang declared that once his soul returned and he broke free from the Donghuang Bell, the Red Lotus Fire would destroy the Eight Wildernesses and the entire universe, as punishment for both Heaven and Li Jing's betrayal. Qingqang's power surged, and the Donghuang Bell was on the verge of breaking. Feng Jiu was thrown back by the Bell's power, but Emperor Dong Hua caught her, calling out her name.

Emperor Dong Hua initially instructed Tian Shu to find Mo Yuan at Kunlun Void but quickly realized it was too far. He then told Tian Shu to rush to Green Hill to find Bai Qian, who also knew the Sealing Spell. Emperor Dong Hua decided to use his spirit to block Qingqang. Feng Jiu desperately tried to stop him, declaring she would live if he lived and die if he died.

Emperor Dong Hua urged her to leave, explaining that he had severed their predestined marriage to protect the people and that she, as the future monarchess of Green Hill, shouldn't be reckless. Feng Jiu insisted she wouldn't let him die in vain, standing firm even when he told her to move aside. As Qingqang's power tore through the Donghuang Bell, declaring his intent to make everyone die for him today, Feng Jiu shielded Emperor Dong Hua and was severely wounded.

At the fox den, Mi Gu reported that Ye Hua was still waiting outside in the cold weather, to which Bai Qian angrily warned Mi Gu not to mention his name again. Sensing a sudden change in the sky, Bai Qian then asked if Ye Hua was still there, confirming he remained despite the elements.

Si Ming then arrived, urgently requesting to see Bai Qian, reporting that something terrible was happening at the Ruoshui River bank, an anomaly with the Donghuang Bell. Si Ming explained that Emperor Dong Hua believed Bai Qian was the only one who knew how to seal Qingqang. Bai Qian immediately realized Qingqang might be breaking the seal. She instructed Mi Gu to tell Bai Zhen to join her at Ruoshui.

As she finally emerged from the fox den, Ye Hua grabbed her sleeve, but Bai Qian pulled away, ignoring him as she hurried towards Ruoshui River, with Ye Hua following closely behind. Upon Bai Qian's arrival at Ruoshui River, massive white waves churned, dark clouds pressed down, and the towering Donghuang Bell swayed violently, causing the ground to rumble. Su Jin, realizing the gravity of the situation, discreetly fled.

Bai Qian, seeing the impending disaster, flew towards the Donghuang Bell, ready to confront Qingqang. However, Ye Hua's magic suddenly froze her, pulling her back to the shore. Bai Qian demanded to be released, but Ye Hua, entrusting her to Si Ming and a land deity, stated that her current cultivation was insufficient to fight Qingqang and declared he would take her place.

Bai Qian cried out, reminding him that he had given his cultivation to Mo Yuan and was even weaker now, essentially going to his death. Ye Hua remained silent, drawing his sword, and soared into the clouds to face Qingqang. Qingqang, emerging from the Donghuang Bell, mistakenly identified Ye Hua as Mo Yuan, saying he had been waiting for him. Ye Hua corrected him, identifying himself as the Crown Prince of the Heavenly Tribe.

As the two battled, lightning and thunder filled the sky. Bai Qian, trapped by Ye Hua's magic, watched helplessly as he struggled against Qingqang, her heart filled with despair. Bai Zhen arrived later, with Bai Qian calling out to him. Qingqang and Ye Hua battled fiercely, scattering sand and dust across the Ruoshui River bank. Both were severely injured and fell back to the ground. As Bai Qian's binding spell dissipated, she rushed to support Ye Hua.

Qingqang, despite his defeat, laughed mockingly and coughed, admitting his loss but claiming it was only because he was still recovering from severe injuries from 70,000 years ago and because his "ungrateful son" (Li Jing) had further depleted his vitality. Ye Hua, supported by Bai Qian, slowly rose and simply stated, "Eventually, you still lost." At that moment, the Donghuang Bell erupted in a bloody red light, startling everyone. Ye Hua, looking up, demanded to know what Qingqang had done.

Qingqang, with a faint but triumphant smile, revealed that he had spent 70,000 years binding his life to the Donghuang Bell, ensuring that if he died, the Bell would unleash the Red Lotus Fire to bury the Four Seas and Eight Wildernesses with him. The Donghuang Bell's destructive power was now unstoppable, and the Red Lotus Fire scorched half the sky blood-red. Without hesitation, Ye Hua flew towards it again.

Bai Zhen desperately held Bai Qian back, preventing her from approaching, as she pleaded for Ye Hua to return. Ye Hua looked at Bai Qian one last time, then turned with resolve, sacrificing his spirit to seal the Donghuang Bell. The Bell finally fell silent, its red glow fading. A dark figure plummeted from the Bell, and Bai Qian, breaking free, stumbled to catch Ye Hua.

His face was pale, blood trickled from his lips, and his black robes were soaked with it as he lay in her arms. Bai Qian tearfully asked if he was trying to swallow his blood again, telling him it was fine to be weak. Ye Hua, struggling to speak and suppressing his cough, tried to maintain a composed demeanor, assuring her, "I am fine. This level of injury is nothing. Qian Qian, don't cry."

With tears blurring her vision, Bai Qian looked into Ye Hua's eyes and asked if he was going to die. Ye Hua's body stiffened. With his remaining strength, he told her that Mo Yuan was awake and that she should be with him, as he would take better care of her. He expressed his relief, saying he was at ease. Bai Qian, still holding him, stared blankly. Ye Hua gasped, "Qian Qian, my entire life, I have only loved you.

Don't. . . don't forget me." As his voice faded, Bai Qian shouted into his ear, "Don't, Ye Hua! Don't die! If you dare to die, I will find Zhe Yan, get that medicinal water, and forget you completely! I will do well on my own! I don't want to think of you anymore! Do you hear me?" Ye Hua's body trembled, and he managed a weak smile, uttering his final words to her, "This is good, too."

Si Ming returned to the Heavenly Palace to report to the Heavenly Monarch that Qingqang had unleashed the Red Lotus Fire and that Ye Hua had used his spirit as a sacrifice to the Donghuang Bell. The Heavenly Monarch was shocked, questioning why the seal broke earlier than Emperor Dong Hua had predicted. Si Ming explained that Ye Hua had seemingly anticipated it, instructing Tian Shu to guard the Donghuang Bell day and night before his mortal tribulation.

Le Xu, upon hearing the news, fainted from grief. Meanwhile, at Kunlun Void, Mo Yuan heard a mournful bell, confirming that someone had sacrificed their spirit to the Donghuang Bell, signaling the end of the conflict. Bai Qian, consumed by grief, set up a divine barrier around herself and Ye Hua at Ruoshui River, holding his lifeless body. Her eyes were vacant, and she spoke no words.

Heavenly Monarch dispatched officials to retrieve Ye Hua's body, but Zhe Yan observed Bai Qian's stubbornness, fearing she would remain there forever. Bai Zhen noted how much Young Fifth had endured in this lifetime, first with her teacher and now her future husband. While everyone else was at a loss, Mo Yuan arrived. Seeing him, Bai Qian finally roused, dropping the barrier.

She desperately pleaded with her teacher, certain he would have a way to save Ye Hua, just as she had brought him back after he sacrificed his spirit to the Donghuang Bell. Mo Yuan, after checking Ye Hua, sorrowfully told her, "Seventeenth, get a coffin to let Ye Hua leave in peace. He's gone."

Bai Qian refused to believe it, arguing that she had waited 70,000 years for him, her teacher, to return, and she would wait for Ye Hua too. Mo Yuan gently advised her that even if she wanted to wait, she should find a proper place to house Ye Hua's body rather than leaving him there indefinitely.

Accepting this, Bai Qian finally decided to take Ye Hua back to Green Hill, remembering her promise to him that she would bring him there and "lock him in her fox den" so he would only see her day and night.

Mi Gu, worried that Heavenly Soldiers might forcibly take Ye Hua's body, noted that Zhe Yan's medicine to help Bai Qian sleep for a day might be too slow, and Bai Qian was still awake, sensing someone touching her divine barrier. Meanwhile, the Heavenly Monarch dispatched deities to Green Hill to retrieve Ye Hua's immortal body.

They knelt outside the fox den for days, unable to enter, as Mi Gu explained that no one, not even the Heavenly Tribe's officials, was permitted to enter the monarchess's residence without Bai Qian's permission. The Heavenly officials eventually reported back to the Heavenly Palace, unsuccessful. Bai Qian remained by Ye Hua's side, never leaving him.

The Heavenly Monarch, furious at Su Jin for abandoning her post as the bell guardian and failing to report the Donghuang Bell's anomaly, which led to Ye Hua's isolated sacrifice, severely punished her. He condemned her for not being like her parents, who willingly died for the Heavenly Tribe, and for causing Ye Hua to fight Qingqang alone.

Despite Su Jin's pleas for mercy, the Heavenly Monarch ordered her demotion from the Nine Heavens, stripping her of her celestial status forever. Due to Bai Qian's unwavering protection of Ye Hua's body, the Heavenly Monarch, feeling helpless, requested Emperor Dong Hua to go to Green Hill and persuade Bai Qian. Emperor Dong Hua, along with the First Highness, Third Highness, and a distraught Le Xu, agreed to go.

Le Xu insisted on joining, wanting to confront Bai Qian, whom she blamed for her son's fate, stating she wanted to see what it would take for "that Su Su, Bai Qian" to return her son. Mi Gu greeted Emperor Dong Hua, the First Highness, the Third Highness, and Le Xu, informing them he would notify Bai Qian of their arrival. Emperor Dong Hua quickly stopped Le Xu from directly confronting Bai Qian.

The First Highness then spoke, explaining that the Heavenly Monarch and Ye Hua's parents had not seen him since his death and it was improper for Bai Qian to keep his body, especially since he was the Crown Prince of the Nine Heavens. Bai Qian, her voice hoarse, questioned if they were there to take Ye Hua away, and stated that she wouldn't allow it, as Ye Hua had promised her he would stay with her in Green Hill.

Le Xu, trembling with anger, then unleashed a torrent of accusations. She stated that as soon as she knew Bai Qian was the mortal Su Su, she was worried, and wondered what "evil consequence" Ye Hua had to fall into Bai Qian's hands twice. She recounted how Ye Hua had suffered immensely for Bai Qian when she was Su Su, even willing to give up his position as Crown Prince.

Le Xu reminded Bai Qian that she had merely given her eyes to Su Jin, but Ye Hua had endured three months of lightning punishment for her and had even jumped off the Immortal Execution Platform with her. She argued that while it was Bai Qian's tribulation, Ye Hua gained nothing but misery, never having a moment of happiness since meeting her.

Le Xu angrily declared that Bai Qian had given nothing up, only clinging to Ye Hua, and was now clinging to his corpse. She then challenged Bai Qian, asking, "What gives you the right? !" Emperor Dong Hua intervened, telling Le Xu, "That's enough." The First Highness then stepped in, clarifying that Ye Hua's sacrifice was for Heaven and Earth, and Le Xu's words were merely a woman's emotional outburst.

However, he respectfully reiterated that it was inappropriate for Bai Qian to possess Ye Hua's body, as they were not yet married. He pleaded for Bai Qian to allow them to take Ye Hua back to the Sea of Innocence in the Thirty-Six Heaven for proper burial according to Heavenly Tribe rules. Bai Qian remained silent, unable to respond.
