Zhong Haichao told Mr. Xie about Prince Qi sending martial arts experts to search for the Jingtan hidden treasure. He did not want Prince Qi to find the treasure. Firstly, he knew that Prince Qi valued him for the purpose of using his Beiyang identity. Secondly, it was Beiyang, not Prince Qi, that had brought him to this point today.
Zhong Haichao believed that Beiyang was the force that would decide the fate of the Great Qing, and he also knew clearly what his correct choice was. Mr. Xie appreciated Zhong Haichao's remarks and also believed he had a promising future. Zhong Haichao asked Ulan Shan how she felt when Mu Qing was imprisoned for the reforms back then, and how she would feel if he himself ended up in such a situation one day.
However, Ulan Shan believed that Zhong Haichao was a Beiyang general and Prince Qi's son-in-law, so he would not fall into such a situation. Although Ulan Shan did not tell Zhong Haichao how she felt back then, she had gone to her father to plead for Mu Qing, but Prince Qi told her to give up on Mu Qing directly.
After all, even Emperor Guangxu couldn't help himself back then, so how could Mu Qing, a bodyguard with a saber, be acquitted? Ulan Shan was utterly helpless back then, but in the end, she could only calmly accept the arrangements of fate. Zhuo Bufan and his group arrived in Quanzhou, Fujian. After inquiring for a long time, they did not hear any news about Anhui Temple. Zhuo Bufan unexpectedly ran into Jiang Hen inquiring about the matter.
Jiang Hen told him that Anhui Temple was now called Futu Temple and was located near the sea in eastern Fujian. Mu Qing and his group arrived in Fujian. Getai had local officials investigate and learned that Anhui Temple was located in a deserted mountain near the sea hundreds of miles to the east. Forty years ago, a mountain torrent erupted.
The abbot of Anhui Temple, for the safety of the people, blasted the mountain upstream to divert water, causing the entire temple to be submerged. Later, the flood receded, but the temple remained submerged. It gradually declined and was renamed Futu Temple. Mu Qing believed that the reason Anhui Temple was renamed and declined might be rooted in the Jingtan hidden treasure. Zhuo Bufan was short on funds.
Huo Qin wanted to take out her silver money to use, but Zhuo Bufan refused. Huo Qin also wanted to get Zhuo Bufan a new sword, but Zhuo Bufan said that although his current sword was cheap, it could still defeat famous swords. Huo Qin originally thought that since Yu Huanjie and others were no longer around, the remaining disciples would all obey Zhuo Bufan's orders, and wondered if she could be Zhuo Bufan's junior sister instead of stepmother.
However, Zhuo Bufan still refused Huo Qin. Wang Jialuo unexpectedly saw Yu Huanjie on the streets of Fujian. He quickly chased after him but could no longer find their whereabouts. Ding Yu was ordered to come to Fujian to reinforce Wang Jialuo. General Longchi also smoothed things over, allowing him to lead the Beiyang army to provide support.
Yu Huanjie found Zhuo Bufan and angrily denounced him as faithless and unjust, claiming he had used the lives of his martial uncle and martial brothers to pave his own way. Zhuo Bufan admitted that he had deceived them in Shanxi, but also stated that it was a forced action. However, after thinking it over, he did not feel that what he did was wrong, as everything he did was for the sword sect.
Yu Huanjie knew that his martial uncle had planned from the start to use himself as bait to help the sect succeed, and even told him at the end not to hate Zhuo Bufan. Yu Huanjie warned Zhuo Bufan to remember today, as this was an opportunity obtained by sacrificing the lives of his martial uncle, Qin Tuo, and their martial brothers.
Yu Huanjie also stated that on the day the hidden treasure is found, he will personally kill Zhuo Bufan to avenge his martial uncle and martial brothers. The next day, Zhuo Bufan led the Rongtianling group to Futu Temple. He told Master Due at the temple that he had come to retrieve an item under the command of the Successor of Bodhi, but Zhuo Bufan did not know the passphrase. Naturally, Due ignored their group.
At the same time, Mu Qing also arrived with his people. The two sides met and fought again. Mu Qing was nearly injured while fighting Zhuo Bufan. At the critical moment, Due intervened and saved Mu Qing. Although Zhuo Bufan's sword skills were excellent, he was no match for Due and was defeated in a few moves.
Mu Qing was invited into the temple by the abbot of Futu Temple, but the abbot had Due intercept Zhuo Bufan and his group outside. The abbot asked Mu Qing to enter alone for a meeting, but Liu Lin stepped forward to stop them, stating that the Successor of Bodhi was supposed to hand the item over to the Tongmenghui. She then directly recited the passphrase that Tan Xian had instructed her to remember firmly.
