Xiao Yicai arrived in Yudou overnight, conveying that the Sect Master believed the position of Yudou City Lord could only be temporarily held by Zeng Shushu, and that the Demonic Sect should not be allowed to enter and exit freely. The entire Qingyun Sect would fully support Zeng Shushu. To make it legitimate and to save Li Xun's face, Xiao Yicai suggested that Zeng Shushu look for any items left by the old City Lord, such as a will.
On this side, Zeng Shushu found Xiao Huan to help him search in the study, and suddenly discovered a note from the first City Lord. It recorded that the Heavenly Book was originally divided into five volumes, and the more volumes one obtained, the greater the chance of resurrecting the Beast God. It turned out that the first City Lord was originally a slave of the Black-Hearted Old Man.
He stole the second volume of the Heavenly Book and hid it when the Old Man was unprepared. Fortunately, during the war between gods and demons, the City Lord seized the opportunity to escape. The Black-Hearted Old Man was defeated by Master Ku Xin and could only forcibly resurrect the Beast God in the underground palace with the first volume of the Heavenly Book.
Feeling that the matter was significant, Zeng Shushu found Xiao Yicai, Lin Jingyu, and Zhang Xiaofan to discuss it together. Xiao Yicai, using the excuse that he feared it would fall into the hands of evildoers, suggested destroying the treasure map and decided to go to the East Sea tomorrow to investigate the location marked on the map. After some discussion, Zhang Xiaofan and Lin Jingyu decided to go with him, and Xiao Yicai reluctantly agreed.
Xiao Huan, while divining, expressed that she felt a vague unease about this trip and was very worried that something might happen to Zhang Xiaofan. Zeng Shushu really wanted to go with Xiaofan and the others, but for his grandfather and for Yudou, he could only guard this place.
Although he was very worried, to comfort Xiao Huan, he said that Xiaofan and the others had overcome even more dangerous places in the past, and they would certainly be safe this time. The two chatted for a while and felt much better. Xiao Huan even playfully said that she would work hard to learn magic to protect Xiaofan and Zeng Shushu.
Listening to A Xiang talk about fate, memories of Zhang Xiaofan's acquaintance and understanding with Bi Yao involuntarily emerged in his mind. Returning to reality, upon hearing the words "fate has not yet arrived," he slowly sighed. At this moment, Lin Jingyu, opposite him, also seemed to be sighing, and everyone looked at each other and smiled. While drinking tea, everyone talked about the bloody case in Grass Temple Village.
They learned that A Xiang had originally been instructed by his master to take extra care of Zhang Xiaofan from the Qingyun Sect if he met him. Xiaofan was quite moved after hearing this. Back in his room, the bloody case from that year kept replaying in Zhang Xiaofan's mind. Just as he was about to suffer a qi deviation, he was fortunately rescued by Lin Jingyu, who happened to be passing by.
However, Lin Jingyu discovered something unusual about Xiaofan: what was inside Xiaofan's body was the Demonic Heavenly Book that had entered him during the struggle with Mr. Gui. Xiaofan believed that the second volume might contain cultivation methods to force out the Heavenly Book from his body. Lin Jingyu always believed it was a conspiracy of the Ghost King Sect, and that it was related to Bi Yao, who had been using them.
With differing opinions, both thought the other was impossible to communicate with, secretly feeling annoyed. Little did they know that all of this was overheard by the thoughtful Xiao Yicai, who was hiding outside the door. Meanwhile, Master Shuiyue was blaming the young disciples sent down the mountain for trusting others, which allowed the Demonic Sect to seize an opportunity.
Lu Xueqi, grateful for Zhang Xiaofan's protection to the death along the way, defended him repeatedly, which caused Master Shuiyue extreme displeasure, and she left with a flick of her sleeve. After her master left, Lu Xueqi went to Dazhu Peak to inform Zhang Xiaofan that everything was fine, and recounted Xiaofan's resourcefulness and courage.
Xiao Yicai, under the pretext of sending Lin Jingyu to buy food, seized the opportunity to give Zhang Xiaofan a pill that he claimed could heal injuries and illnesses. After Zhang Xiaofan fell into a coma, Xiao Yicai took out the Revered Ancestor's Scale to investigate whether Zhang Xiaofan was truly cultivating demonic arts. He was interrupted before he could find out by the arriving Lin Jingyu.
Xiao Yicai then argued that he was afraid Zhang Xiaofan's mind would be corrupted by the Demonic Sect. Lin Jingyu, who deeply detested the Demonic Sect, became even more worried and wary of Zhang Xiaofan, who had always defended the Demonic Sect. Late at night, Bi Yao found it hard to sleep, looking at her Golden Bell and worrying about Zhang Xiaofan. She tried to steal it but was caught red-handed by the Ghost King.
The Ghost King stated that Zhang Xiaofan, possessing the Blood-Devouring Pearl and the Heavenly Book's power, would inevitably not be understood by the Qingyun Sect and would eventually have to join their Demonic Sect. Although Bi Yao still wanted to be with Xiaofan, she knew that the stubborn Xiaofan would not easily agree. Facing two of the closest and dearest people, both equally stubborn, Bi Yao was both angry and anxious, not knowing what to do.
Facing the unconscious Zhang Xiaofan, Lin Jingyu regretted their previous argument. Early in the morning, he was again sent away by the ill-intentioned Xiao Yicai to find a Medical Immortal to treat Xiaofan. Facing the eccentric Medical Immortal in the forest, he pleaded earnestly and promised to rescue the Medical Immortal's captured junior brother in exchange for treating Zhang Xiaofan.
After a fight, the Medical Immortal took the opportunity to take his junior brother away, but was caught up by Lin Jingyu. It turned out that the person in the thatched hut was an expert from the Tianyin Temple. Lin Jingyu felt deeply deceived and followed them all the way. At this moment, Xiao Yicai was preparing to use the Revered Ancestor's Scale to extract the Heavenly Book from Zhang Xiaofan.
