Feng Qingchen was besieged by several humanoid Du Sha. During an intense battle, Feng Qingchen accidentally discovered that the Du Sha would burn when exposed to fire. She then used fire to defeat the humanoid Du Sha. Seeing the situation turn grim, Wu Pinging had to act herself. In an instant, she, dressed in red, approached with fierce killing intent. Feng Qingchen was also agile; she danced the Shao Hua Holy Butterflies, turning water into ice to attack Wu Pinging.

Wu Pinging was no match; she feigned unconsciousness on the ground and counterattacked when Feng Qingchen came to check on her. In this critical moment, the Gui Li Sword cut through the air, and Yuan Ling subdued Wu Pinging in one move. He said in a deep voice that the Xuanjia Army had surrounded Tianwu Zuifang, and any further resistance would lead to death. Only then did Wu Pinging stop.

Yuan Ling then lowered his gaze to Feng Qingchen, chiding her for risking danger alone. Wu Pinging knew she was at a dead end. She offered Xi Xie, the elder held in the secret room, in exchange for Yuan Ling letting her go. Just then, a wild laugh came. The person said with extreme contempt, "You think you can open the stone door with just yourselves?"

After speaking, he struck and injured three people, then snatched Xi Xie with lightning speed, without ever revealing his face during the entire process. All the singing girls from Tianwu Zuifang were arrested and were being interrogated one by one. Just then, a singing girl secretly appeared and rescued Wu Pinging. Yuan Ling looked at the well opening through which the two had escaped, guessing that the well connected to the city moat outside the city walls.

He ordered Shi Yi to quickly give chase. Feng Qingchen found a sachet by the well. This sachet was different from the one Wu Pinging had given her; it was not poisonous, but instead had a calming effect. Yuan Ling saw it and remembered having seen this sachet with his Third Brother. However, among his brothers, the Third Prince was the most modest. Because he was not favored by the Emperor, he stayed away from court politics.

Yuan Ling did not believe that his Third Brother, with his warm gaze, could be a sinister and ruthless person. But Feng Qingchen advised him to be more cautious. Yuan Ling, upon hearing this, smiled contentedly, teasing Feng Qingchen, "Are you perhaps worrying about me?" Yuan Ling comforted Feng Qingchen, telling her to relax. He had fought on battlefields for many years and was not someone ordinary people could harm.

Yuan Hao led the Imperial Guards, escorting Yuan An, and traveled tirelessly to Tianzi Mountain for worship. Suddenly, several Dark Sorcerer Du Sha descended from the sky. Their intentions were malicious, and their moves were sinister, directly forcing Yuan An out of his carriage. Fortunately, at the critical moment, Yuan Zhan arrived with his troops to rescue him, taking a blow from a Dark Sorcerer for Yuan An.

After the Dark Sorcerers were repelled, Yuan An was furious, concluding that those who practiced such dark magic must be from the Wu Clan. He ordered a strict search for the remnants of the Wu Clan. Tao Yao and her group had originally intended to use this incident to resolve the grievances between the Wu Clan and the Imperial family, but unexpectedly, it backfired. Xi Xie, already seriously injured, was imprisoned in a secret room.

Just then, a black-clad, masked woman strolled in, playing with a glowing Nine-Turn Spirit Stone in her hand. She told Xi Xie that her actions were merely to use the Wu Clan against the Yuan clan. Xi Xie was shocked to realize, upon hearing this, that it was this person who had framed the Wu Clan, forcing the Imperial family to encircle and annihilate Lijing Tian, and wipe out the Wu Clan. The woman, however, laughed wildly.

What she wanted was the overthrow of the court; soon, she would make both the Wu Clan and the Imperial family perish together. On the other side, Feng Qingchen informed Tao Yao that Xi Xie had been kidnapped by the Grand Elder of the Dark Sorcerers.

Tao Yao said that several years ago, the Wu Clan had executed two Grand Elders of the Dark Sorcerers, and since then, the Dark Sorcerers had been in decline, until now, when their power has resurfaced. Feng Qingchen had a plan to investigate the Dark Sorcerers. She asked Elder Tao Yao to help investigate Bixue Pavilion.

Tao Yao agreed to her request, but stated that if Feng Qingchen could not find evidence against the Dark Sorcerers, Tao Yao would resolve the matter in her own way. The singing girl who rescued Wu Pinging was actually Yuan Ming in disguise. Yuan Ming angrily said that with Yuan Ling and Yuan Zhan teaming up this time, it was inevitable that Wu Pinging would fall into their hands. Fortunately, Elder Xi Xie was not rescued by them.

Yuan Ming thought that besides the Grand Elder of the Dark Sorcerers, no one could keep Xi Xie of the Wu Clan imprisoned. He ordered Wu Pinging to continue searching for the whereabouts of the Second Miss Feng. After Wu Pinging left, the Elder of the Dark Sorcerers sent a message via a sorcery butterfly, warning Yuan Ming and his group not to make any more big moves.

She would ensure Yuan Ming's throne, but if he knew too much, he would inevitably be unable to protect himself. In the palace, although Yuan An was injured by the Dark Sorcerers, he was not seriously harmed. He suspected that the Wu Clan still harbored intentions of overthrowing the Imperial family.

Upon learning that the women of Tianwu Zuifang had been harmed by sorcery, he was filled with hatred for the Wu Clan and ordered that anyone from the Wu Clan found should be killed rather than accidentally let go. In the Zhanwang Residence, the imperial physician sent by Yuan An was carefully diagnosing Yuan Zhan. Jin Fei stood by, extremely worried, wondering what she would do if anything happened to Yuan Zhan.

Prince Luling Xiao Xu of the Liang Kingdom came to visit the Achai Tribe. The First Prince of the Achai Tribe received him, and secretly accused the Liang Kingdom of previously sending assassins to kill the King of the Achai Tribe. At this moment, the King of the Achai Tribe emerged, feigning wellness, and asked Xiao Xu to assist in investigating the assassination. After Xiao Xu left, the long-poisoned King coughed incessantly.

After Duo Xia learned of this, she discussed it with Yuan Hao, guessing that Xiao Xu's actions were to test the King of the Achai Tribe's condition. Feng Qingchen came to the Zhanwang Residence to thank Yuan Zhan for his timely assistance at Tianzi Mountain; otherwise, the Wu Clan would have been accused of regicide. Feng Qingchen had never imagined that Yuan Zhan would protect the Wu Clan to such an extent.

Yuan Zhan said that the Wu Clan had made invaluable contributions in helping Da Wei ascend to the throne, and the Emperor was merely temporarily misled. However, loyalty and treachery are clear in people's hearts. Upon hearing this, Feng Qingchen merely said that Yuan Zhan was indeed different from what she had imagined. Yuan Zhan smiled gently and took the opportunity to ask Feng Qingchen to move back to the Zhanwang Residence.

Feng Qingchen decided to stay in the Zhanwang Residence to treat Yuan Zhan's injuries. Yuan Ling came to the Third Prince's Residence to find Yuan Ji, but found the residence unusually quiet and deserted. Yuan Ji joked that he was naturally a leisurely person and accustomed to tranquility. Yuan Ling took out the sachet, saying he had obtained it while investigating the case at Tianwu Zuifang.

Yuan Ji's expression faltered for a moment, then he said his sachet had been lost long ago. After Yuan Ling left, Yuan Ji indeed took out an identical sachet from his person. With a somber expression, he called out a name, "Jiu'er," and sighed, wondering why she hadn't contacted him for so many years.

Shi Yi investigated and found that the reason the aristocratic families represented by the women of Tianwu Zuifang had severed ties with the Feng family was that Chancellor Feng had impartially enforced the law twenty years ago when investigating a case of imperial examination fraud, punishing these aristocratic families one by one. Chancellor Feng had consequently risen quickly through the ranks and gained significant trust, making the Feng family one of the three major families.

After those women were arrested, all of them were checked for tattoos on their bodies. Yuan Ling, upon hearing this, guessed that this action was to search for the Feng family's Second Miss, who had gone missing twenty years ago. The Feng family arresting these aristocratic women was likely due to their concern that the aristocratic families had kidnapped the Second Miss Feng in retaliation back then. It seemed they were getting closer to the truth.

As night fell, within the palace, Luan Fei was organizing memorials. The Ninth Prince Yuan Ming quietly appeared and embraced Luan Fei. He stroked Luan Fei's cheek. Luan Fei only said that recently the Crown Prince and Duo Xia had been inseparable, and she had not yet found an opportunity to act.
