After Yuan Ling led Feng Qingchen away, Tao Yao and Elder Mo knew that only the Holy Sorceress could summon the Shaohua Sacred Butterfly, showing that Feng Qingchen was not simple. Tao Yao secretly thought that after the matter of the Dark Sorcerers was settled, they would welcome the Holy Sorceress back to her position, but she did not know where her senior brother was now. Just then, Yuan Li rushed over to find Lord Mo.

Yuan Li clearly saw someone leave, but when he entered the room to search, he found no one. He had doubts. Yuan Li also noticed that the Celestial Twin Stars phenomenon was becoming more prominent and asked Lord Mo why he didn't inform his imperial father. Lord Mo merely said that he had come to a realization and would report to His Majesty in a few days.

Feng Qingchen returned to Tianwu Zuifang, claiming she had gone to Lord Yin's banquet, and only by presenting the unique red plum blossoms from the Yin residence did she evade Wu Pinging's persistent questioning. However, Wu Pinging knew that the fewer flaws there were, the more suspicious it became. On the other side, Yuan Li returned to Taichang Temple and found that the guard had already unblocked his pressure points.

The young guard then followed Yuan Li closely and took the opportunity to get revenge by blocking Yuan Li's pressure points, pretending to be unaware. Poor Yuan Li was stuck in the corridor, suffering from mosquito bites and crying incessantly. At Tianwu Zuifang, Feng Qingchen was teaching a group of singing girls to play the zither when suddenly a singing girl collapsed, convulsing and repeatedly whispering not to become a poisonous fiend.

Feng Qingchen wanted to investigate further, but Wu Pinging forcibly took the person away. Wu Pinging watched Feng Qingchen's hurried appearance and knew that her entry into Tianwu Zuifang must have had another purpose. That night, Feng Qingchen snuck into Wu Pinging's room, unaware that Wu Pinging was hiding behind her. Wu Pinging, taking advantage of Feng Qingchen's inattention, turned a switch, and the hidden compartment beneath Feng Qingchen's feet opened, causing her to instantly fall.

Feng Qingchen fell into a spacious secret chamber, where she saw several humanoid poisonous fiends sleeping. It seemed they intended to train those singing girls into humanoid poisonous fiends. At this moment, Wu Pinging appeared. It turned out that everything today was her prearranged plan, solely to make Feng Qingchen reveal a flaw, but she didn't know that Feng Qingchen had also deliberately fallen into her trap.

At Lingwang Manor, Eleven told Yuan Ling that his investigation into the missing women revealed a commonality: they all seemed to be connected to the Feng family. Many years ago, these gentry families had dealings with the Feng family, but later, for unknown reasons, all contact was lost. Yuan Ling suspected that the court influence behind Tianwu Zuifang was the Feng family.

Meanwhile, at the Feng family residence, Yuan Ming was sacrificing to Xian Wu at the Feng Clan Ancestral Temple. He still couldn't understand why Xian Wu had come to the Feng Clan Ancestral Temple when she left that year, not even leaving a memorial tablet for him. Yuan Ming asked Prime Minister Feng if he knew Xian Wu's greatest wish was to find her younger sister who was abducted as a child.

Prime Minister Feng merely said that life and death are destined by heaven, and he dared not hold too much hope, but Yuan Ming resolutely declared that as long as it was Xian Wu's wish, he would fulfill it even if it cost him his life. Yuan Zhan told Yuan Ling that twenty years ago, Prime Minister Feng was responsible for investigating imperial examination fraud, which incurred resentment.

Someone took the opportunity to abduct the Feng family's second young lady, who was less than one year old. Madam Feng also passed away after giving birth to Luan Fei. Yuan Ling stated that most of the missing women he investigated were twenty-one years old and were connected to the gentry families that the Feng family investigated at the time.

From this, it seemed they were not kidnapping, but searching for someone, because if the Feng family's second young lady were still alive, she would presumably be this age. Just as they were speaking, Yuan Ling received a Golden Butterfly message from Feng Qingchen, saying she was in a secret chamber. In the secret chamber, Feng Qingchen released a Golden Butterfly, wanting to investigate thoroughly. She found that all the Golden Butterflies disappeared into a wall.

Feng Qingchen wondered why this wall was impenetrable even to Golden Butterflies; it must be hiding something. On the other side of the wall, Elder Xi Xie sensed the spiritual power of the Witch Clan from outside the wall. He cast a spell and saw that it was indeed a Shaohua Sacred Butterfly.

At the same time, Feng Qingchen also sensed the presence of a living person behind the wall and was utterly puzzled as to who was hidden behind the secret room. Lord Mo informed Yuan An about the Celestial Twin Stars phenomenon, pointing out that only by Yuan An making an imperial procession to offer sacrifices to Heaven could it be resolved.

Since the Witch Clan was suppressed, Yuan An had never left the palace, clearly fearing the two elders of the Witch Clan who had escaped. Lord Mo reassured him, saying that the two elders were not enough to accomplish anything, and furthermore, this matter concerned the safety of His Majesty's procession, and Taichang Temple would also make preparations. Yuan An listened but still looked hesitant.

Wu Pinging returned to the secret chamber, wanting Feng Qingchen to reveal the purpose of Tianwu Zuifang, or else she would train her into a poisonous fiend. Feng Qingchen was not afraid of her. Wu Pinging even forced Feng Qingchen to swallow a pill restricted by Dark Sorcerers. Fortunately, Feng Qingchen was resourceful and, after Wu Pinging left, she forced the pill out. On the other side, Yuan An was still hesitating about the matter of offering sacrifices to Heaven.

Yuan Hao suggested that he was willing to lead the Imperial Guards to protect His Majesty. Yuan An profoundly ordered Luan Fei to draft an imperial edict, deciding to leave the palace to offer sacrifices to Heaven, but what he had in mind was to lure out the remnants of the Witch Clan to eliminate them completely and forever eradicate future troubles.

In the secluded bamboo forest, Wu Pinging came to consult her master on how to deal with Feng Qingchen. The master, cloaked in black, turned around, revealing himself to be Ninth Prince Yuan Ming. It turned out that the women Wu Pinging had captured were all being sought by Yuan Ming for Xian Wu, and he also intended to create a contingent of humanoid poisonous fiends that he could use.

Tomorrow, when Yuan An offers sacrifices to Heaven, he would transport a batch of humanoid poisonous fiends, using the opportunity to frame the Witch Clan. Simultaneously, Yuan Zhan and Yuan Ling both learned that the humanoid poisonous fiends were being transported to Tianzi Mountain. The two decided to act separately, determined not to let the Dark Sorcerer's plot succeed. Wu Pinging wanted to deal with Feng Qingchen. Feng Qingchen confronted her directly, questioning who was imprisoned in the secret chamber. Unexpectedly, Wu Pinging played demonic music, which awakened the humanoid poisonous fiends in the secret chamber.
