Mingxia Cave required Ying Hong's red jade token to open. Xiao Liuzi lured away Ying Hong, and Chu Xuanji took the opportunity to steal the red jade token and entered Mingxia Cave to rescue Yu Sifeng. The two followed the plan and proceeded smoothly. Yu Sifeng had already suffered terribly and fainted in Mingxia Cave. Chu Xuanji rushed over, saw Yu Sifeng's state, felt instant heartache, flew over to support him and transfer true energy to him.

Yu Sifeng was injured by the Candel Dragon and trapped in Mingxia Cave. Seeing Chu Xuanji before him, his heart was cold and desolate. If Chu Xuanji wouldn't side with the cultivation sects against him, why would she come here? Actually, Chu Xuanji had been outside maintaining that Yu Sifeng had no relation to Tianxu Hall, but Yu Sifeng stubbornly thought that if Chu Xuanji didn't trust him, why would she come to save him?

Yu Sifeng was in danger, so naturally Chu Xuanji had to save him. Hao Chen was originally going to stop Chu Xuanji from taking Yu Sifeng away, but Chu Xuanji summoned Teng She to stop Hao Chen. Xiao Yinhua sensed Yu Sifeng's condition and knew he was in danger, rushing to rescue him. Chu Xuanji fled the secret realm with Yu Sifeng.

Yu Sifeng, with a cold heart, sarcastically asked Chu Xuanji if she wasn't afraid he coveted the Crystal Lamp. Chu Xuanji didn't want Yu Sifeng to die and would definitely not harm him; she was just conflicted about whether Yu Sifeng had lied to her. From beginning to end, Yu Sifeng had only concealed his demon identity. He hadn't lied about anything else.

If Chu Xuanji didn't believe him, there was nothing Yu Sifeng could do, but from now on, he would never explain again. Xiao Yinhua appeared and blamed Chu Xuanji for hurting Yu Sifeng. Yu Sifeng continued to speak coldly and sarcastically. Chu Xuanji had nothing to say and could only first send Yu Sifeng away. Hengyang and his disciples spent three days trying to summon the spirit of the Candel Dragon to guard the Crystal Lamp.

Just as they were about to succeed, Yuan Lang suddenly appeared in the secret realm to seize the Crystal Lamp. Hengyang's strength was no match, and he was severely injured by Yuan Lang. He could only use all his might to summon the spirit of the Candel Dragon. Hengyang fought with his life but was killed by Yuan Lang. Fortunately, the Candel Dragon was summoned and stopped Yuan Lang from taking the Crystal Lamp.

Chu Xuanji and Yu Sifeng were trapped on their escape route by a trap set by Chu Lei, Hao Chen, and others. The demon-slaying formation was intended to kill Yu Sifeng and extract his demon core. Hao Chen even publicly slandered Chu Xuanji, claiming she had helped lure Yu Sifeng out, resulting in their being trapped.

Seeing Chu Lei and others working together to set up the formation, Chu Xuanji pleaded bitterly, but couldn't make these people give up on killing Yu Sifeng. Chu Lei threatened her with his life again. Chu Xuanji didn't want anything to happen to either Yu Sifeng or her father, so she had no choice but to act. When Teng She arrived, he broke Yu Sifeng's predicament, but Chu Lei seized the opportunity to attack Yu Sifeng.

Chu Xuanji tried to shield Yu Sifeng from the sword but was blocked by Yu Sifeng instead. Yu Sifeng was wounded by the sword again. Chu Xuanji told Yu Sifeng that her vow was just to deceive her father. But Chu Xuanji's vital energy was strangely being absorbed. Demon realm flowers, Mandara, bloomed everywhere. The Star of Mosha's heart and soul were summoning its body.

Hao Chen emphasized that Yu Sifeng was Demon Maleficent, and his blood caused the flowers to bloom and absorb people's cultivation. Only Yu Sifeng noticed that it was Chu Xuanji's blood. Yu Sifeng realized that Chu Xuanji might be Demon Maleficent. Yu Sifeng voluntarily stepped forward and admitted he was the Star of Mosha, emphasizing that he came to eliminate the God of War. Chu Xuanji still couldn't believe it and stopped the fight between the two sides.

Teng She trapped everyone, giving Chu Xuanji and Yu Sifeng a chance to talk alone. Facing Chu Xuanji's questions, Yu Sifeng endured the pain and spoke hurtful lies. After speaking, Yu Sifeng turned and left. Yuan Lang, facing the Crystal Lamp, still couldn't withstand the power of the Star of Mosha. Meanwhile, everyone discovered that Ying Hong's meridians had been severed. Before fainting, she only left the three words "Lize Palace." Not only Ying Hong but also Hengyang had died.

Corpses were scattered everywhere. Everyone, in their grief, concluded it was Yu Sifeng's doing. Only Teng She was willing to help Chu Xuanji uncover the truth about the Star of Mosha. Everyone gathered in Shaoyang Hall again to discuss. The other sects were aggressive, demanding an explanation from Shaoyang. Chu Lei, taking responsibility for his daughter, severed one of his fingers and passed the position of Shaoyang sect leader to Hao Chen.

The other sects still wouldn't let go and insisted on holding Chu Xuanji fully accountable. Hao Chen seized the opportunity to propose that Chu Xuanji was unrelated to Yu Sifeng and should marry him instead. To dispel others' concerns, Chu Lei readily agreed and forced Chu Xuanji to consent. Chu Xuanji punished herself in Mingxia Cave, thinking of Yu Sifeng and those who had died because of him.

Even though she couldn't link the two, Yu Sifeng's personal admission made her have to believe it. Chu Xuanji sealed herself in a barrier, wanting to be clear-headed alone. Xiao Liuzi and Chu Linglong also couldn't persuade her. Hao Chen took advantage of Chu Xuanji's confused state to shatter her last shred of trust in Yu Sifeng, denying that Chu Xuanji and Yu Sifeng's past interactions were all fake.

Hao Chen, wanting to possess Chu Xuanji, deliberately twisted her words when Chu Xuanji spoke of heartache, saying that the God of War's heartache was only for the world's people, not for anyone specific, that heartache arose from inner demons, and could only be resolved by killing Yu Sifeng. A thousand years ago, it was Hao Chen who had actively given up on Chu Xuanji.

Possessiveness drove him to want to have Chu Xuanji all to himself, wanting Chu Xuanji to listen only to him. Although Hao Chen shed tears for Chu Xuanji, perhaps even he didn't understand true love. Ruo Yu informed Yuan Lang of what he had seen in the secret realm. Based on the Mandara flowers and the heavenly realm mark on Yu Sifeng, Yuan Lang speculated that Yu Sifeng might be Demon Maleficent.

But the Star of Mosha had been sealed for a thousand years. Now, Yu Sifeng's demonic nature hadn't manifested, nor had his ferocity erupted, possibly related to his heart and soul being sealed. Yuan Lang, however, didn't understand why Yu Sifeng admitted to being the Star of Mosha. Little did he know, Yu Sifeng had long decided to impersonate Demon Maleficent to manipulate Yuan Lang and disrupt his plan.

Yu Sifeng impersonated Demon Maleficent to deceive and obtain the spirit keys, using the excuse of using the spirit keys to rescue Wu Zhiqi, then instructing Wu Zhiqi to use the Juntian Cehai to open the Crystal Lamp. Only then could his heart and soul return, and the great cause of the demon realm would be just around the corner.

Yuan Lang was half-believing and half-doubting Yu Sifeng's identity as Demon Maleficent, but upon hearing that Yu Sifeng intended to venture into the demon realm, he believed it by three parts. Yu Sifeng was anxious to get the spirit keys and act immediately. Yuan Lang, not completely trusting him, postponed the action time. Regardless of whether Yu Sifeng was Demon Maleficent, before he showed his demonic nature and ferocity, he was just Yu Sifeng.

Xiao Yinhua didn't understand why Yu Sifeng admitted to being the Star of Mosha. Chu Xuanji had already ignored him, so why would he still shield her from everything? Yu Sifeng's heart was filled with righteousness. Back then, after the God of War captured Wu Zhiqi, she glared angrily at the heavenly realm. There must have been something strange going on.

Yu Sifeng was using this to investigate, not just for Chu Xuanji but also to protect his Golden Finch clansmen. Yu Sifeng kept Chu Xuanji's blood on his person for later use and began his plan.
