Ning Que was trapped behind a powerful ban at the entrance to Confessing Cliff, unable to leave until he could comprehend its meaning. The Sage called it an opportunity, but to a frustrated Ning Que, it felt like a cruel punishment. As the Sage departed, Sang Sang vowed to wait outside for as long as it took. Unbeknownst to Ning Que, the Sage’s true motive was to protect him; the ban concealed his demonic aura from those seeking revenge.

Li Manman later expressed his concern to the Sage that this was not a permanent solution, but the Sage insisted that Ning Que's escape depended entirely on his own ability. Luo Kedi reported to the High Priest that Ning Que was imprisoned in Confessing Cliff. Suspecting the harsh punishment was not merely for the death of Dao Shi, the High Priest ordered an investigation, but his subordinate explained Confessing Cliff was an "unknown place" within the Academy, impenetrable to outsiders.

The High Priest suspected the Sage's true motives, wondering if he already knew Ning Que had fallen into a demonic state, and decided to let Liu Yiqing proceed with his challenge against the Academy. Inside the cave, Ning Que repeatedly attempted to break free, reasoning that if stones could pass through, he should be able to as well. Despite his efforts, he was consistently repelled, exhausting himself as a worried Sang Sang watched.

Long Qing, wandering destitute near the South Sea, encountered Chen, the master of Zhishou Temple. Chen reminded Long Qing of his past, when he had chosen the path of light. Feeling abandoned by the light after his defeats, Long Qing questioned if he had any choice left. Chen reassured him that even in darkness, the light would save him, explaining that all suffering is a trial that brings one closer to it.

His resolve reignited, Long Qing knelt before Chen, acknowledging him as his true guide and reaffirming his faith. Chen, who could not step ashore, invited Long Qing onto his boat, promising him a new beginning, like a new peach blossom growing from dead wood. Sang Sang built a small hut near Confessing Cliff, diligently chopping wood, fetching water, and cooking for Ning Que, their bond deepening. As the weather turned colder, her cold illness flared up again.

Ning Que urged her to go home, but she refused to leave. Li Manman and Jun Mo visited, bringing supplies. Jun Mo used his own power to help Sang Sang ward off the cold. Ning Que was frustrated to learn that his senior brothers and sisters could freely pass through the ban. When Jun Mo told him it was because he was "too weak," an annoyed Ning Que threatened to sue the Sage for unlawful imprisonment.

Meanwhile, the Tianyu High Priest, accompanied by Cheng Lixue, hastened towards the Tang capital, determined to retrieve Wei Guangming's descendant, Sang Sang, and return her to West Shrine. Yu Lian sought an audience with the Sage on Ning Que's behalf. The Sage noted that by giving Ning Que the ring, she had allowed him to inherit the legacy of her young uncle, Ke Haoran.

Yu Lian argued that the so-called "Demonic Cult" was not evil, but simply a different tradition of light that was slandered by West Shrine. The Sage advised her to return to her calligraphy to calm her inner demons. Later, Jun Mo explained the Sage’s true intentions to Ning Que. He revealed that Ke Haoran's unique power, the "Qi of Magnanimous," was deemed heretical by the world and was incredibly dangerous if uncontrolled.

The confinement in Confessing Cliff was meant to help Ning Que master this power and hide his demonic state. Finally understanding the Sage's foresight and protection, Ning Que vowed to cultivate diligently. Liu Yiqing, brother of the Sword Sage Liu Bai, arrived at the Academy and issued a formal challenge to Ning Que. Teacher Chao Xifeng informed him that Ning Que was in seclusion at Confessing Cliff, but Liu Yiqing decided to wait.

Elsewhere, Tang Xiaotang, the Saint Virgin of the Demonic Cult, arrived in the capital. At a shop selling nuts, she encountered Chen Pippi, whom she recognized as "the fat boy Ning Que always mentioned." She followed him to Ning Que's home and demanded to see Mr. Thirteen. Pippi, terrified of her identity being exposed to West Shrine, tried to send her away with money.

She refused, explaining that the increasingly harsh conditions in the Desolate Lands had forced her people to seek help. Ning Que was shocked to discover Sang Sang could effortlessly pass through the ban. She explained that her master, Wei Guangming, had taught her a divine skill, and that her pure energy rendered the prohibition ineffective against her. She then demonstrated her ability to make her body glow.

Meanwhile, Tang Xiaotang cornered Chen Pippi on the back hill of the Academy, demanding he take her to Ning Que. When Pippi refused, she revealed her audacious goal: to enter the Academy and become a disciple of the Sage. Stunned, Pippi told her it was impossible for a demon to join, but she insisted. As Pippi tried to flee, the Sage appeared.

To Pippi's utter confusion, the Sage accepted Tang Xiaotang, instructing her to carry a food box and descend the mountain with him. Pippi questioned why the Sage would accept the Demonic Cult's Saint Virgin after declaring Ning Que his last disciple, but the Sage simply encouraged him to be braver. Confined to copying scrolls, Ye Hongyu was confronted by a gloating Luo Kedi.

He offered to restore her position as Commander if she would become his woman, telling her she was too proud and had hurt many people. Ye Hongyu furiously rejected him and threatened his life. Believing her powers were gone, Luo Kedi dismissed her threat, but she mustered her remaining strength and unleashed an attack that sent him fleeing in terror. The effort caused her to collapse and spit blood, but she defiantly vowed that retreat was never an option and that all "dirty things must be cleaned."
