With heavy hearts, the Shi brothers, Cai Zhao, and Mu Qingyan laid Guo Zigui to rest. After years of enduring relentless physical pain and the stigma of being hunted by his own sect, his passing felt like a final liberation. The Shi brothers spoke bitterly of Yin Dai, explaining that his refusal to save Guo Zigui years ago was a calculated move to seize the Guo family’s estate.
The grand residences and palaces now owned by the Yin family—such as the Twin Lotus Pavilion—were built on assets Yin Dai claimed after labeling Guo Zigui a traitor. Mu Qingyan further revealed Yin Dai's true nature, explaining that his primary motivation had always been the Ziwei Method. Yin Dai had incited the Six Sects to attack the Li Sect under the guise of justice, but his real goal was to uncover how Nie Hengcheng had achieved such immense power.
He had even sacrificed his own disciples to capture Elder Kaiyang and secure the cultivation manual. Knowing that Cai Pingshu would eventually see through his schemes, Yin Dai tricked her into practicing the Disintegration Method, hoping to eliminate both her and Nie Hengcheng at once.
Reflecting on this, Cai Zhao recalled how her aunt had pushed her to practice martial arts despite her own injuries, realizing her aunt had foreseen these dangers and wanted her to be able to protect herself. The following day, Cai Zhao prepared to leave with Mu Qingyan, carrying Guo Zigui’s ashes and his treasured sword. The Shi brothers requested that she give the ashes to her mother, Zi Feng, to be scattered near his parents' graves in Jiangdong.
As for the sword, which Yin Dai had originally gifted him, Guo Zigui wanted it returned to the Qingque Sect as a sign that he was leaving the sect of his own accord, no longer wishing to be a disciple. Meanwhile, at the Li Sect, Xing’er grew anxious over Mu Qingyan’s month-long absence. She urged You Guanyue to find him, but he jokingly suggested the Young Lord was likely enjoying his time with Cai Zhao and wouldn't appreciate the interruption.
During their journey, Cai Zhao shared her theory that the mysterious man in black might be the same "skin-painted demon" who had befriended her aunt. They analyzed the fall of Chang Fort, noting that the fortress’s internal mechanisms changed every three years, meaning only an insider or someone guided by one could have breached it. They focused their suspicion on Wang Yuanjing.
Years ago, Wang Yuanjing had entered the Eight-Claw Prison with Guo Zigui; while Guo was captured and tortured, Wang Yuanjing had walked out unscathed. Mu Qingyan recalled the memorial service, noting that Wu Yuanying’s reaction toward Wang Yuanjing was not one of recognition or joy, but of pure hatred. Upon returning to the Qingque Sect, they were met by Fan Xingjia, who informed them that rumors of their elopement had caused a scandal.
Cai Zhao’s parents and Lord Yang had already arrived to deal with the fallout. Wang Yuanjing, meanwhile, had secluded himself at Taichu Temple, claiming to be focused on alchemy and seeking transcendence to escape the vengeful spirits of his past. To uncover the truth, Cai Zhao devised a plan. She had Fan Xingjia present a fake "Nine-Turn Life-Returning Pill" to Wang Yuanjing, claiming it was a legendary elixir of immortality.
While Wang was distracted, they secretly introduced a sleeping drug into his alchemical furnace. As the drug took effect, Mu Qingyan and Cai Zhao appeared before a hallucinating Wang Yuanjing, masquerading as figures from his past. Terrified, Wang Yuanjing confessed his crimes. He admitted that he had left his senior brother to suffer in the Eight-Claw Prison because he wanted to secure his path to becoming the Lord of Taichu Temple.
However, his plan failed when Qiu Yuanfeng won the leadership through flattery and by inheriting their uncle’s power. Later, the man in black, who knew of Wang's cowardice in the prison, blackmailed him into leading the demonic sect into Chang Fort. Wang had even drugged Luo Yuanrong to facilitate the massacre and frame her. Mu Qingyan demanded the name of the man in black, promising to keep Wang's secrets if he cooperated.
Wang Yuanjing noticed Mu Qingyan held the Chaos Needle and realized he couldn't escape. Just as he was about to identify the mastermind, he was struck and killed by a hidden arrow fired from outside. As Taichu Temple disciples rushed in, Li Min accused them of murder. To protect Cai Zhao, Mu Qingyan stepped forward and declared that he alone had killed the Lord, claiming Cai Zhao was merely a hostage.
He used the confusion to pull Cai Zhao away and escape. Cai Zhao’s parents soon arrived to find a chaotic scene. Zi Feng wept over the ashes of Guo Zigui, while Cai Pingchun nearly came to blows with the grieving Taichu disciples who insulted Guo's memory. Li Min demanded justice, insisting Cai Zhao be punished for colluding with the Li Sect. Cai Zhao stood her ground, exposing Wang Yuanjing’s role in the destruction of the Chang clan.
Though the room was filled with shock, the Taichu disciples were unwilling to let her go. Qi Yunke eventually intervened, using his authority as the head of the Six Sects to take Cai Zhao into custody at the Qingque Sect to prevent further violence. In the days that followed, rumors branded Cai Zhao a "demoness" for her association with Mu Qingyan. Confined to the sect, she was visited by her parents.
When Zi Feng asked about her time away, Cai Zhao looked away bashfully, admitting that Mu Qingyan had treated her very well. Her soft expression and the flush on her face made it clear to her mother that her feelings for the Young Lord of the Li Sect had grown deep.
