Mu Qing learned that Zhuo Bufan and his group changed their route and headed north. He and Wang Jialuo set off to pursue Yu Huanjie and his group. Zhuo Bufan learned from Huo Qin that they were being followed by seven or eight people. He decided to take action to deal with these people. Mo Kun stopped midway and let Yu Huanjie and Qin Tuo take the disciples south. From the beginning, he decided to be the bait.
It was he who forced Zhuo Bufan to make everyone believe that Anhui Temple in Shandong was the real destination. Zhuo Bufan pretended to lure the enemy precisely to make the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Beiyang people misjudge. Mo Kun told Yu Huanjie and Qin Tuo that there is indeed an Anhui Temple in Shandong, but it is not their destination. Zhuo Bufan's real destination is Anhui Temple in Fujian.
Mo Kun admired Zhuo Bufan's potential to achieve great things and approved of the choices he made. Yu Huanjie was furious after learning the truth, but Mo Kun ordered him not to resent Zhuo Bufan, and even less to seek revenge on him. Mo Kun told Yu Huanjie and Qin Tuo to quickly head south with the disciples, while he alone would face Mu Qing to cover Yu Huanjie and the others' escape from Shanxi.
Soon, Mu Qing caught up with Mo Kun. Mo Kun did not hide that he was Zhuo Bufan's Martial Uncle from Rongtian Ridge. That year, Mu Qing was appreciated and promoted by Lord Cha Tai, while Mo Kun was also entrusted by Cha Tai to protect the reformists but unfortunately was imprisoned for twelve years. That year, Mu Qing lost his freedom because of reform and modernization, but now he has become a lackey of the court.
Mo Kun believed that Mu Qing had betrayed his faith of twelve years, but Mu Qing stated that obeying the imperial decree was his only mission. Qin Tuo and Yu Huanjie knew they could not avoid Wang Jialuo's tracking. Qin Tuo could understand Mu Qing's actions and also hoped that the senior disciple would not blame Zhuo Bufan for today's events, because everything Zhuo Bufan did was to revitalize the Rongtian Sword Sect.
He told Yu Huanjie to take the people and leave, while he and a few junior disciples would stay behind to cover the retreat. Wang Jialuo caught up with Qin Tuo and promised to arrest only him, allowing the other disciples to leave. Qin Tuo quickly told the disciples to leave quickly. Qin Tuo preferred death to surrender.
Wang Jialuo knew that arresting Qin Tuo was his duty, so he ordered Ding Yu to take his men and leave, while he stayed alone to arrest Qin Tuo. Wang Jialuo only wanted to arrest Qin Tuo and bring him to justice; he did not want to kill him. However, Qin Tuo chose to commit suicide rather than be captured. Seeing that the two sides were hostile, Mo Kun accepted Mu Qing's challenge.
Mo Kun, no longer in his prime, did not seek victory and was soon defeated in the duel, also being stabbed by Mu Qing. Although Mu Qing's swordsmanship was exquisite, Mo Kun asserted that Mu Qing could not defeat Zhuo Bufan within a hundred moves, let alone compare to Cheng Yu. Mo Kun sighed that Cheng Yu had spent his entire life striving to help ambitious individuals who could overthrow imperial rule and establish a new world.
It was regrettable that he had a disciple who was willing to be a court lackey. Mu Qing originally wanted to ask about his master, but Mo Kun had already passed away peacefully. Ding Yu led his men and killed the three Rongtian Ridge disciples who were leaving. Although Wang Jialuo was dissatisfied with Ding Yu's actions, he did not comment further. Zhuo Bufan used the lives of his sect members to buy himself time to escape.
Now, his whereabouts would naturally not be easily revealed. Mu Qing also knew that Mo Kun was willing to be the bait. Now, with five lives from Rongtian Ridge exchanged for Zhuo Bufan's escape, Mu Qing lamented that Zhuo Bufan was indeed ruthless enough. Mu Qing returned to the inn and threatened Lin Haohan with Liu Lin's life.
Lin Haohan could not bear to see Liu Lin die tragically before his eyes, so he revealed that the porcelain jar was a ritual object from Anhui Temple in Fujian. Mu Qing quickly told Lin Haohan to pack up and follow him to Fujian. Prince Qi learned that Zhuo Bufan had obtained a clue and was heading to Fujian. At the same time, he also learned that Beiyang was involved in the treasure hunt.
Zhong Haichao told Prince Qi the news that the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Jianghu sects had attracted the attention of the Beiyang Army. Prince Qi had to explain that the Rongtian Ridge group was entrusted by him to search for the Jingtan hidden treasure, and that he was searching for the Jingtan hidden treasure because he did not want it to fall into the hands of the Tongmenghui. And his action was also to avoid attracting Beiyang's attention.
As long as they had the Jingtan hidden treasure, they would have leverage against Beiyang. Zhong Haichao was dissatisfied that Prince Qi did not trust him and also harbored thoughts of defection.
