Continuing to follow the destitute Long Qing, Lu Chenjia declared she would abandon everything to be with him, pleading to stay by his side. However, Long Qing, who now saw himself as worse than a dog and the most disgusting of men, clung to his last shred of pride and brutally rejected her. He insisted he would only become uglier and filthier, something she, a lover of perfection, could not truly want, and cruelly pushed her away once more.

That night, Ning Que tossed and turned, unable to sleep, consumed by the desire to avenge General Lin's family by killing Xia Hou. Knowing Xia Hou had the Queen's backing and immense power, Ning Que sought advice from Li Manman. He learned that while Demonic Cultivation lacks the Five Stages of Haotian Taoism, Xia Hou's power was just one step short of the martial arts peak, equivalent to the Knowing Destiny stage.

Despite Xia Hou's formidable strength, Ning Que remained determined. Li Manman encouraged him to return to the Academy, assuring him he would surpass Xia Hou in five years. However, Ning Que felt five years was too long, fearing Xia Hou might die or be killed by another before he could enact his revenge for the victims of the General Lin's Manor massacre and others like Zhuo'er's father.

Meanwhile, Lin Ling reported to Xia Hou that he had secretly informed the Military Department about Ning Que's suspected murders, hoping the department would handle Ning Que. Xia Hou, however, declared that Ning Que should not be allowed to live and that he must kill him personally to eliminate future trouble. Master Yanse's sudden death deeply grieved Li Qingshan, who fell ill from sorrow.

The Emperor of Tang issued an urgent decree, recalling Grand General Xu Shi to the Military Department to oversee the situation. Upon his return, military officials presented him with Lin Ling's secret letter accusing Ning Que of murdering Zhang Yiqi, Chen Zixian, and Yan Suqing. A Royal Dark Guard informed Ning Que of Master Yanse's passing. Ning Que was heartbroken, recalling their cherished moments.

Their relationship had grown beyond master and disciple to that of father and son, and the finality of death intensified his pain. As Ning Que wept, he encountered Lin Ling, who taunted him mercilessly, noting that with Master Yanse dead, no one was left to protect him. Lin Ling mocked Haotian's unfairness, allowing Ning Que's loved ones to die while his enemies, like General Xia Hou and himself, lived on. Enraged, Ning Que vowed to make them confess their crimes.

As Lin Ling prepared for battle, he revealed a secret even Xia Hou didn't know: he was from the West-Hill Divine Palace, and his true motive for killing Ning Que was not for Xia Hou, but for the sake of the Light. Furious, Ning Que unleashed the demonic arts taught to him by Lian Sheng, engaging Lin Ling in a fierce battle. Lin Ling was gradually overwhelmed and ultimately impaled by Ning Que's sword, dying on the spot.

Long Qing, ragged and starving, arrived in the capital of Yan, where he was beaten by local beggars while trying to beg for food. Lu Chenjia, still following him, used her power to freeze the assailants. Long Qing struggled up, grabbing a fallen steamed bun, but became hysterical upon seeing her. Lu Chenjia pleaded with him to leave with her and start anew, but Long Qing deliberately humiliated her, causing her to leave heartbroken.

The beggar leader then demanded Long Qing kowtow to join them. Enraged, Long Qing fought back, and after he effortlessly killed the leader during a surprise attack, the other beggars submitted to him. Meanwhile, Ning Que, having expended all his energy fighting Lin Ling, stumbled back to his residence and collapsed before he could even greet Mo Shanshan, who rushed to help him to his room.

Shangguan Yangyu, Tie Ying, and Wang Jinglue, a trusted follower of General Xu Shi, arrived at the House of Old Brush to apprehend Sangsang for questioning. As she prepared to go, Master Qi Si of the Yulong Gang arrived with his men to intervene. Wang Jinglue, who claimed to be invincible below the Knowing Destiny stage, effortlessly incapacitated Qi Si's men.

Recognizing his own inadequacy but unwavering in his loyalty, Master Qi Si prepared to die to protect Sangsang, but was easily disarmed. Sangsang then urgently asked Master Qi Si to guard the silver under her bed and the two funeral urns in the courtyard, and he promised to wait for her return. Ning Que deeply resented Lian Sheng for forcing the demonic arts upon him.

He knew that if he fully succumbed to Qi Deviation, the Haotian world, and even the Headmaster, would not accept him. Sensing Ning Que's distress, Li Manman spoke with him. Ning Que subtly inquired about his Youngest Uncle, Ke Haoran, and Li Manman confirmed that Ke Haoran died from Haotian's punishment because he had entered the Devil's Doctrine. This news made Ning Que even more anxious, fearing he would suffer the same fate.

Li Manman advised him to consult the Headmaster about his concerns and encouraged him to see Mo Shanshan, who had been waiting anxiously outside his room. On New Year's Eve, as the streets filled with celebratory fireworks, Sangsang spent the night in a Military Department prison, where a jailer thoughtfully brought her dumplings. Mo Shanshan gently tended to Ning Que, sensing his unspoken worries and offering comforting words.

Burdened by his inner turmoil, Ning Que vowed to show her a clearer world and his true self. Her unwavering trust brought him great comfort. Later, Shangguan Yangyu, frustrated by Sangsang's silence during interrogation, was advised by Wang Jinglue that they could use torture to make her speak.
