General Xia Hou received news that Ning Que and disciples from Mochi Garden were transporting provisions to the heart of the Badlands. He angrily ordered his subordinate to bring him Ning Que's head. Soon after, Priest Cheng Lixue from the West Shrine's House of Heavenly Oracle appeared, conveying a direct order from the Hierarch: Xia Hou himself must kill Ning Que. Xia Hou, resentful of being treated like a pawn of the West Shrine, vehemently refused.

Cheng Lixue, knowing Xia Hou's volatile nature, tempted him by revealing that his master, Liansheng 32—thought dead for twenty years—was likely still alive at the ruin of the Demonic Cult. Cheng Lixue hinted that only Liansheng could help Xia Hou break through his martial arts plateau, leaving the general conflicted but intrigued. Meanwhile, in the city, Sang Sang was bustling with her daily chores.

The Great Divine Priest of Light, Wei Guangming, engaged her in a philosophical discussion about fate, explaining he had come to the city to resolve a destiny he foresaw long ago. He then plainly stated his desire to take Sang Sang as his disciple. Sang Sang, initially reluctant, told him she needed time to consider. On the journey through the Badlands, Ning Que observed Mo Shanshan meticulously practicing calligraphy.

He was amused to see she was copying a sample of his own writing, which she revered without knowing its origin. He teased her, remarking that her dedication earned her the title "Book-Addict." When Mo Shanshan mentioned the calligraphy felt familiar, Ning Que playfully deflected, joking that her "rotten writing" might resemble his. Her senior, Zhuo, quickly intervened, proudly defending Mo Shanshan's skill, stating she was the most favored disciple of the Calligraphic Prodigy.

Suddenly, a group of what appeared to be robbers was spotted trailing the convoy. Mo Shanshan, however, noted their disciplined movements suggested they were not mere brigands but trained soldiers. She ordered the Mochi Garden disciples to take turns on night watch. Later, a frantic disciple reported that Mo Shanshan was missing. Ning Que found her observing the strange group from a distance. They both agreed these were no ordinary robbers and that a pre-emptive strike was necessary.

Ning Que, worried about the Mochi Garden disciples and the consequences he would face from the West Shrine if the provisions were lost, proposed an immediate attack. Ning Que argued for a proactive assault, claiming the robbers, having just set up camp, would be unprepared. The soldiers escorting the provisions adamantly refused, asserting their duty was merely to transport the supplies.

After Ning Que warned them of the dire consequences of inaction, Mo Shanshan supported his reasoning, agreeing that a surprise raid was their only viable option given they were outnumbered. They launched a night attack, only to discover the robbers' camp was empty. Ning Que immediately realized they had fallen into a trap and ordered a swift retreat. They returned to find it was too late; the provisions had been stolen.

When a panicked soldier tried to desert, Ning Que killed him on the spot, declaring death for any who disrupted morale. He then passionately rallied the remaining soldiers, urging them to unite and reclaim their stolen supplies. The next morning, Sang Sang woke a sleeping Wei Guangming and chided him for his laziness. As she mended his torn clothes, she urged him to be more active. Wei Guangming reiterated his offer to teach her Divine Skills.

When Sang Sang asked if these skills could bring her wealth or help Ning Que in fights, Wei Guangming confidently affirmed they could. Sang Sang agreed to become his disciple but insisted on waiting for Ning Que's return to finalize the arrangement. Wei Guangming's attempts to help with chores proved more of a hindrance than a help, earning more reprimands from Sang Sang. Ning Que and Mo Shanshan led their forces in a desperate battle against the robbers.

Ning Que recognized the masked leader's weapon as a military blade of Tang and deduced he was a cultivator trying to exhaust Mo Shanshan's mind power before striking. He urged her to use a long-distance talisman to call for reinforcements. The distress signal reached Luo Kedi, who consulted Master Qu'ni of White Pagoda. Qu'ni dismissed the plea, and when Luo Kedi hesitated, she bribed him with a rare artifact from Xuankong.

Luo Kedi relented, agreeing to ignore the call for help. At the same time, Cheng Lixue arrived with a new decree from the Hierarch: seek peace with the denizens of the Wasteland. Meanwhile, Ning Que and his party repelled another attack, only to spot West Shrine cavalry nearby, observing the battle without intervening. Ning Que was furious at their inaction. As the robbers prepared for their final assault, Ning Que engaged the masked leader in a fierce duel.

Exhausted, Ning Que was knocked to the ground, and the leader's mask fell off, revealing Lin Ling, a survivor from the massacre of General Lin's family. Lin Ling vowed to kill Ning Que, calling him the "fish that got away." He then unleashed a powerful Great Mind Master technique, trapping Ning Que. Just as Lin Ling was about to deliver a fatal blow, Mo Shanshan's junior disciple, Rabbit, shielded Ning Que with her body and was killed.

As Lin Ling prepared to strike again, Mo Shanshan mustered her last reserves of energy to draw a divine talisman, severely injuring Lin Ling and forcing him to flee. Ning Que cradled Rabbit's body, lamenting the coldness of the Badlands and swearing to seek justice for the fallen. Later, in a surreal, dream-like encounter, Queen Mother Xia Tian appeared in Princess Li Yu's mansion.

Hinting at Li Yu's network of spies, Xia Tian asserted her absolute power within Tang and demanded Li Yu withdraw her informants, warning of severe consequences. A terrified Li Yu immediately promised to comply. Xia Tian sternly cautioned her that in the face of true power, all schemes are futile. Li Yu then awoke with a jolt, unsure if the encounter was real. When her attendants confirmed no one had visited, she was left shaken and drenched in a cold sweat.
