Haofeng showed a strange phenomenon when giving birth. Luckily, the old Master arrived in time, took Yu Sifeng away, and killed the immortal sect members to keep the secret. Haofeng had not yet recovered from the shock of giving birth to a demonically wicked child, witnessing the tragic deaths of the immortal sect members before her eyes. She was also forced by the Master to take off the Lover's Curse mask.

Haofeng hated the Master and escaped while he was suffering from the mask's backlash. Haofeng happened to meet Chu Xuanji's mother, He Danping, and wanted to leave with her, but the Master rushed to chase Haofeng, merely hitting He Danping a few times before leaving. It was Yuan Lang who killed Chu Xuanji's mother and concealed the secrets of Lize Palace.

As for why the Master still had his memories, it was because the old Master valued the Master's twelve-winged bloodline and found the Pill of Forgetfulness for the Master to swallow to undo the Lover's Curse. He also preserved the Master's beautiful memories to prevent the Lover's Curse from triggering. The Master refused to believe the truth Yuan Lang spoke. The elders who knew the truth were also unwilling to provoke the Master.

Yuan Lang then produced the blood writing left by Haofeng before her death. In the blood writing, Haofeng admitted she was misled and trapped by evil, disgracing the reputation of Dianjing Vally, and committed suicide to prove her innocence. In the end, the Master could not help but believe what Yuan Lang said. The Great Master was too deeply stimulated, triggering the Lover's Curse, causing him to vomit blood.

The Great Master wanted to wait for Haofeng's return even unto death. However, back then, the Old Master of Dianjing Vally had gone to great lengths to retrieve the stone marrow to save his beloved daughter's life. But the Master snatched Haofeng's body, causing the time limit for the stone marrow's effectiveness to pass, leading to the Old Master's painful death. It turned out the stone marrow's effect lasted only three years.

Once the time limit passed, the primordial spirit of the deceased would dissipate, making it impossible to revive them. Yuan Lang brought out Haofeng's body and displayed it before the Great Master. Past events could no longer be recalled. The Great Master watched as Haofeng's body vanished into smoke. The Lover's Curse accelerated the Great Master's death. Yu Sifeng embraced his father's body.

Before his death, the Great Master told Yu Sifeng that he and Haofeng had indeed loved each other sincerely. His only wish was for Yu Sifeng to take the Pill of Forgetfulness, forget the relationship, and not follow his old path. He also wished for Yu Sifeng to protect Lize Palace and the Golden Finch clan well.

In just a few days, Yu Sifeng experienced Chu Xuanji's misunderstanding, the battle of Lize Palace, the truth of his parents' love, and his father's death. The blow to Yu Sifeng was too severe. Yuan Lang brazenly sat on the Master's throne and watched the Great Master ascend. The Lize Palace elders and disciples honored Yuan Lang as the new Master. Yu Sifeng absolutely refused to abandon his father's dying wish.

Holding the Golden Feather Token, he ordered the Lize Palace disciples who had joined Tianxu Hall to withdraw, or face death without mercy. Tianxu Hall was a wicked demonic path and ultimately not righteous. Still, many disciples were willing to abandon the dark and turn to the light. Yu Sifeng had already promised to protect the Golden Finch clansmen unharmed, so he naturally vowed to be an enemy of Yuan Lang.

Unexpectedly, Yuan Lang seized a handle (a means of coercion) and threatened to kill the clansmen if Yu Sifeng didn't hand over the Golden Feather Token. Seeing that Elder Bai had already been brutally murdered by Yuan Lang, to prevent innocent clansmen from suffering a tragic death, Yu Sifeng had no choice but to temporarily hand over the Golden Feather Token. Holding the token, Yuan Lang demanded that all Lize Palace disciples join Tianxu Hall, or face death without mercy.

Chu Xuanji, in her drunken state, seemed to understand Yu Sifeng's feelings. Yu Sifeng had also been nervous and afraid. Even though others wanted Chu Xuanji, the God of War, to kill Yu Sifeng the demon, how could Chu Xuanji bring herself to kill Yu Sifeng? She would rather not be the God of War than harm Yu Sifeng. Chu Xuanji understood Yu Sifeng's feelings but didn't understand why Yu Sifeng had to deceive her.

Chu Xuanji's drunken words were overheard by Hao Chen. Seeing Chu Xuanji's deep affection for Yu Sifeng, Hao Chen left heartbroken. Even in her sleep, Chu Xuanji held the hairpin Yu Sifeng gave her, thinking of the words they exchanged when pledging their love. Zi Hu came to find Chu Xuanji to comfort her. Chu Xuanji had never minded the identities of Ting Nu and Zi Hu the demon, so why should she mind Yu Sifeng's identity?

Although Yu Sifeng was a Golden Finch, he had never harmed anyone. Why should identities matter in love? Chu Xuanji simply didn't understand why Yu Sifeng hid his identity. Zi Hu asked why they didn't clear things up face to face if there was a misunderstanding. Under Zi Hu's guidance and prompting, Chu Xuanji seemed to have thought things through somewhat.

But Chu Xuanji still didn't understand why Yu Sifeng, being from Lize Palace, protected the wicked demon who killed her mother. Zi Hu told Chu Xuanji that the Master was Yu Sifeng's biological father and had raised him. Yu Sifeng had no choice, and he had only recently learned all the twists and turns. Whatever decision he made, Yu Sifeng was surely conflicted. The torment and pain Chu Xuanji had recently suffered were no less for Yu Sifeng.

Zi Hu and Liu Yihuan planned to help Chu Xuanji and Yu Sifeng meet and talk things through properly, so they wouldn't be in separate places suffering alone. Chu Linglong was secretly hurting because of her past with Wu Tong and the mockery from other disciples. No matter what, Xiao Liuzi would stay by Chu Linglong's side, fending off the cruel words and helping her through these difficulties.

Chu Linglong was too deeply traumatized by Wu Tong; her dreams were filled with Wu Tong's ferocious figure. Yu Sifeng kept vigil for his father. Scenes of his parents' lives echoed, and his parents' experiences were replayed on Yu Sifeng himself. Would Chu Xuanji also, like his mother, despise his demon identity and sever their relationship?

Xiao Yinhua made a wish before the Great Master's spirit tablet, asking Yu Sifeng to swallow the Pill of Emotionlessness, forget his feelings for Chu Xuanji, and kill all the immortal righteous sects. Yu Sifeng sent Xiao Yinhua away, only to be met by Yuan Lang. Yuan Lang requested to cooperate with Yu Sifeng. Yu Sifeng was a twelve-winged Golden Finch, and if he unlocked his potential, he could join the ranks of great demons.

Back then, how mighty was the Golden Finch clan when they served as the King Asura's vanguard to attack the heavenly realm? Yuan Lang wanted to resurrect the Star of Mosha and revitalize the demon race, leading the Golden Finch clan back to their former glory. The most crucial place to resurrect the Star of Mosha was the Shaoyang secret realm, where the Crystal Lamp sealing the Star of Mosha's star soul was located. Yuan Lang told Yu Sifeng all this information precisely because he wanted Yu Sifeng to cooperate with him.
