Xiao Huan told Lu Xueqi that Jin Ping'er single-handedly managed Jinxiu Fang and also took in many destitute women who had no fixed abode, which was truly difficult. Lu Xueqi realized Xiao Huan's purpose was to dispel her doubts about Jin Ping'er. Xiao Huan told her that six years ago, she and her grandfather were passing through Xiangnan. Her grandfather accidentally caught a cold and also encountered harassment from bandits.

Fortunately, Jin Ping'er, despite her own injuries, stepped in to save the grandfather and granddaughter. Only then did Xiao Huan and her grandfather survive. Based on this, Xiao Huan believed that Jin Ping'er would not harm Yudou, much less harm Elder Wei. Gou Ye, since the destruction of the Blood Refining Hall, had been wandering homelessly. Fortunately, he met Ghost Doctor, who healed their injuries.

Gou Ye, following Ghost Doctor's guidance, pretended to be pitiful and begged Bi Yao to take in the remaining disciples of the Blood Refining Hall. This way, they could also assist the Ghost King Sect in capturing Yudou City and finding Myriad Bat Cave. Bi Yao believed Gou Ye was using the opportunity of defecting to the Ghost King Sect to revitalize the Blood Refining Hall. After Gou Ye swore, he revealed that he indeed had this intention.

Bi Yao utterly looked down upon these remnants of a defeated army, fearful like homeless dogs, and asked Gou Ye what he could actually do. Gou Ye told Bi Yao that within the complicated Yudou City, the founder of the Blood Refining Hall, Old Man Black Heart, and Madame Jin Ling of the Joyous Union Sect had a deep and righteous bond.

The Joyous Union Sect would, to some extent, give him face because of this, which could expand their power to contend with the righteous sects. Bi Yao agreed to Gou Ye's request. Also wanting to win over Jinxiu Fang was Li Xun of Incense Valley. Upon arriving in Yudou City, he placed a large order with Jinxiu Fang. Jin Ping'er naturally understood the principle of reciprocating favors.

She used the name of City Lord Wei to repeatedly praise Li Xun for his proper conduct and noble demeanor, hoping that Li Xun would take good care of Jinxiu Fang after assuming the position of Yudou City Lord. It turned out that Jin Ping'er had long seen through Li Xun's arrogance and disdain for others.

However, Zeng Shushu had no interest in the position of Yudou City Lord at all, so she could only hope that Li Xun would continue to provide shelter to Jinxiu Fang in the complicated future, ensuring the safety of the Jinxiu Fang sisters and preventing them from getting involved in the conflict between righteous and demonic sects. At this moment, Bi Yao arrived again with the Ghost King Token to win over Jin Ping'er.

It turned out that Jin Ping'er was the Elegant Young Master who had led the Joyous Union Sect away from Jade Firmament Palace more than ten years ago. The Elegant Young Master refused to accept the Ghost King Token offered by Bi Yao, citing the preservation of the Joyous Union Sect as her reason. Gou Ye quickly stepped forward to remind the Elegant Young Master to remember the century-old alliance with the Blood Refining Hall.

The Elegant Young Master politely refused Gou Ye on the grounds that the Blood Refining Hall had already been destroyed. Gou Ye told the Elegant Young Master that the Blood Refining Hall had now defected to the Ghost King Sect and hoped that the Joyous Union Sect would lend a hand when the Blood Refining Hall was in trouble.

The Elegant Young Master proposed that if Bi Yao could produce the Blood-Devouring Pearl and the Golden Bell, these two tokens of the Blood Refining Hall and the Joyous Union Sect, then the Joyous Union Sect would naturally abide by the agreement and obey the holder's command; otherwise, everything was off the table.

Lin Jingyu, who had already learned about A Xiang's situation from Zeng Shushu, accused him, as a disciple of Heavenly Sound Pavilion, of allowing demonic sects to commit evil here. A Xiang told Lin Jingyu that the rule of Yudou City was that as long as one did not commit evil within Yudou City, both righteous and demonic sects could reside there.

It was precisely because successive City Lords of Yudou City believed in the equality of all beings and had no sectarian prejudice that the city had flourished to this day. At this moment, Ding Ling came to Shanhai Yuan to find A Xiang. It turned out that after hearing Jin Ping'er's words, Ding Ling wanted to help Jinxiu Fang solidify its place of refuge.

A Xiang, hearing that Ding Ling only came to visit him after being persuaded by Jin Ping'er, criticized her for lacking her own opinion and joining the demonic sect, stating that he could not explain this to his sect. Upon hearing this, Ding Ling firmly demanded to break off their engagement, so that A Xiang could explain it to his sect.

Zeng Shushu meticulously crafted a sand table of Yudou City, hoping to find a solution to the river pollution problem based on it. Lu Xueqi advised Zeng Shushu to fully utilize his talents to govern Yudou City. Zeng Shushu, who yearned for freedom, was utterly unwilling to stay in Yudou City. Lu Xueqi told Zeng Shushu that a person must be responsible. At this moment, Zhang Xiaofan and Lin Jingyu rushed in from outside.

They informed Lu Xueqi and Zeng Shushu about the complex situation in Yudou City. They speculated that Bi Yao and the Joyous Union Sect should be unrelated to the river pollution. Zhang Xiaofan suddenly remembered the disciples of Myriad Poison Sect.

At this time, the three righteous sects of Qingyun Sect, Heavenly Sound Pavilion, and Incense Valley, and the three demonic sects of Joyous Union Sect, Ghost King Sect, and Myriad Poison Sect had all gathered in Yudou City, all coming for the Myriad Bat Cave in Mount Kongsang. Lin Jingyu and Lu Xueqi went to the prison and discovered that the Myriad Poison Sect disciple was already dead.

They immediately asked Guard Yan to take them to the place where the Myriad Poison Sect disciple was first found. Lu Xueqi realized that the source of pollution should be at the headwaters of this river. Guard Yan told them that the streams in Mount Kongsang crisscrossed and had many tributaries, making it difficult to find anything. At this moment, Lu Xueqi noticed some red petals appearing with the water flow.

She suddenly remembered similar petals she had seen on Mount Kongsang that day and decided to go into the mountains herself to investigate. Guard Yan heard this and showed a suspicious look on his face. Meanwhile, in Yudou City, Zhang Xiaofan and Xi Huan were intensely rehearsing for the Mid-Autumn Festival performance. During this time, Xiao Huan said her clothes were too big and she needed to go to Jinxiu Fang to have Jin Ping'er alter them.

Zeng Shushu wanted Lin Jingyu to go, hoping to ease his relationship with Jin Ping'er. Lin Jingyu and Jin Ping'er got into an argument due to their differing attitudes towards righteous and demonic sects. At this moment, Gou Ye, as the head of the Blood Refining Hall, led people to force Jin Ping'er to accept the Ghost King Token, intending for the Joyous Union Sect and the Ghost King Sect to cooperate.

Seeing Jin Ping'er stubbornly refuse to cooperate, Gou Ye immediately drew his sword and advanced on Jin Ping'er. Lin Jingyu, seeing the injustice, advised Gou Ye to abide by the rules of Yudou City. Gou Ye wanted to have a match with Lin Jingyu. In just a few moves, Lin Jingyu defeated Gou Ye.

Lin Jingyu followed Gou Ye to see Bi Yao, accusing her of condoning her subordinates causing trouble in Yudou City, and once again demanded Zhang Xiaofan's magical artifact back from Bi Yao. Bi Yao asked Lin Jingyu to agree to one condition: to meet her by the Qing River during the Mid-Autumn Festival. Lu Xueqi, returning from Mount Kongsang, took out the red flowers for everyone to identify. Zhang Xiaofan confirmed that it was indeed that scent.

Everyone decided to enter the mountains together after the Mid-Autumn Festival to uncover the truth. Zhang Xiaofan was pleasantly surprised to receive his lost and recovered magical artifact. That night, Zhang Xiaofan discovered that ever since arriving in Yudou City, his magical artifact and his internal energy often showed abnormal fluctuations.
