Everyone was besieged by blood bats. Lin Jingyu saw Zhang Xiaofan being caught by the Bat Mother and quickly went to help, but was knocked to the ground by the flames spat out by the Bat Mother. Biyao quickly helped Lin Jingyu up. At this moment, Lin Jingyu saw the Bat Mother continuing to spit fire and attack, so he hugged Biyao and dodged to the side.

Zhang Xiaofan took the opportunity to ride on the Bat Mother's back, wielding his magic weapon and striking repeatedly. The Bat Mother flew wildly in pain. Lu Xueqi realized the danger, pushed Zeng Shushu to the ground, and was instead caught by the Bat Mother. Under Zhang Xiaofan's continuous fierce attacks, the Bat Mother quickly released Lu Xueqi, and Zhang Xiaofan and Lu Xueqi fell off the cliff.

Zhang Xiaofan quickly grabbed Lu Xueqi, and the two fell down the cliff together. In a daze, Zhang Xiaofan felt unusually cold, as if he heard the voices of his parents and fellow villagers calling him. He quickly stood up. Suddenly, his magic weapon reacted abnormally, and he realized this was an illusion. He quickly waved his magic weapon to return to reality.

At this moment, Zhang Xiaofan saw Lu Xueqi lying on the ground, controlled by something, her limbs flailing convulsively. He realized Lu Xueqi was in danger and quickly flew to her side, casting a spell to save her. Lu Xueqi saw Zhang Xiaofan, just like during the Seven-Meridian Martial Arts Tournament, and worried that he would again be controlled by inner demons. She quickly summoned back her Tianya Sword to dispel the ghostly spirits.

Lu Xueqi realized this place was the Myriad Bat Cave. She told Zhang Xiaofan that she had seen his inner demons and asked him to clear his selfish thoughts and distractions to avoid being exploited by the ghostly spirits. As soon as Lu Xueqi mentioned it, Zhang Xiaofan was again controlled by inner demons, his mind filled with images of Caomiao Village. Lu Xueqi gripped Zhang Xiaofan's hand, reminding him not to be swayed by obsession.

Zhang Xiaofan broke free from the inner demons, only then noticing that Lu Xueqi had squeezed his hand until it was red. After a brief awkward moment, they realized they could no longer fly with their swords and prepared to look around for an exit. Meanwhile, when Biyao and Zeng Shushu's group were searching for Zhang Xiaofan, they realized something was wrong with their surroundings. Zeng Shushu cast a spell, letting a wooden bird lead the way.

At this moment, the ghostly spirits sensed Biyao's thoughts and transformed into the image of Biyao's mother. Lin Jingyu quickly swung his sword to disperse it. Lin Jingyu told Biyao that it was caused by the ghostly spirits' transformation. Zeng Shushu took out a talisman and placed it on his forehead, and the three continued their journey. Furthermore, as Zhang Xiaofan and Lu Xueqi continued their journey, they were once again disturbed by ghostly spirits.

The two fought back-to-back but were still controlled by the spirits. In a moment of crisis, the persistent Zhang Xiaofan used his last bit of strength to stab his magic weapon into the spirit's mouth, and only then did they escape danger. Zeng Shushu and the others arrived and rescued Zhang Xiaofan and Biyao.

In Yudou City, Jin Ping'er, from the Acacia Sect, knew from the ancient scrolls left by Madam Jin Ling that the underground palace was full of dangers. With Qin Wuyan lurking in the dark and Zhang Xiaofan's group openly, they might face a narrow escape from death. Jin Ping'er, A Xiang, and Li Xun prepared to go down and help them. Zhang Xiaofan and his group had no idea how many hours they had walked in the underground palace.

They saw bubbles inside the palace. Zeng Shushu, unable to resist his curiosity, burst a bubble, and instantly, each person saw images of their past related to themselves. Biyao and Zhang Xiaofan unknowingly walked forward. Suddenly, they slipped and fell off a cliff one after another. Biyao quickly hugged Zhang Xiaofan. At this moment, Qin Wuyan, who had arrived earlier, saw Biyao and Zhang Xiaofan come to the shore of the Heartless Sea.

He secretly cast a spell, activating the Gu poison that the Poison God had long ago implanted. Zhang Xiaofan, poisoned by the Gu, suddenly fell to the ground. Qin Wuyan seized the opportunity to capture Biyao. Qin Wuyan intended to use Biyao as a sacrifice to the demonic beast guarding the Blood-dripping Cave, to search for the Devil Sect's ultimate treasure, the Heavenly Book, within the cave.

Zhang Xiaofan, lying on the ground, saw Qin Wuyan pushing Biyao towards the Black Water Xuan Snake. In a moment of desperation, he leaped up and snatched Biyao from the Black Water Xuan Snake's mouth. The Xuan Snake, having missed its prey, was naturally unwilling to gain nothing, and glared at them menacingly. Biyao cast a spell to divert the Xuan Snake's attention to Qin Wuyan, and the Black Water Xuan Snake swallowed Qin Wuyan in one gulp.

It then chased after Zhang Xiaofan and Biyao. Zhang Xiaofan quickly shielded Biyao, and was violently flung aside by the Black Water Xuan Snake. Zhang Xiaofan woke up to find they were already lying at the very bottom of the underground palace, with no way out. Biyao discovered that this was the Blood-dripping Cave. She told Zhang Xiaofan that the Blood-dripping Cave was built by the Black-hearted Old Man and contained countless magic treasures.

At this moment, A Xiang, who had come down to help them, found Zeng Shushu and the others trapped. He quickly cast a spell to break the enchanting mirage gas. Zeng Shushu found himself also at the edge of a cliff, and at the same time, he could no longer see any sign of Zhang Xiaofan and Biyao. They realized that Biyao and Zhang Xiaofan had fallen.

Jin Ping'er asked A Xiang to use the Samsara Pearl to clear a path and go down to search for Zhang Xiaofan and them. After more than ten hours, Biyao and Zhang Xiaofan still hadn't waited for rescuers. Biyao told Zhang Xiaofan that if a few more days passed, and if she found herself unable to go on, he should kill her and eat her flesh to save himself.

Zhang Xiaofan naturally refused, as he was unwilling to devalue any life, let alone Biyao's! Biyao recounted to Zhang Xiaofan how, when she and her mother were pursued by Old Man Nian years ago, she was severely injured. Her mother cut flesh from her own body to prolong Biyao's life, and a child carrying a lantern gave her a ray of hope. She was eventually rescued by her father and Qinglong. Hearing this, Zhang Xiaofan suddenly remembered that he had once been to a cave years ago. He felt pity for Biyao's tragic past and pulled her into his embrace.
