Mo Xiao let Feng Lixue stand on his sword and used his sword to carry her up the mountain. He also promised that he would definitely protect her. At the mountaintop, Fengyue and Feng Xingtian were locked in an intense battle. Feng Xingtian was injured by Fengyue’s sword, and Fengyue urged him to stop, offering that Tianxing Sect could become an independent sect.

However, Feng Xingtian, already on the path of demonic cultivation, refused to listen or back down and continued fighting with Fengyue. Feng Lixue, brought up the mountain by Mo Xiao, sincerely admired his strength. She hoped that no matter whether her father or Fengyue won, she could become Fengyue's disciple, learn swordsmanship, and be with Mo Xiao every day.

When Feng Lixue arrived, she saw Feng Xingtian and Fengyue trapped in a ball of golden light, with a sword hanging over Feng Xingtian’s head. In an attempt to save her father, Feng Lixue struck the sword with her Phoenix Feather Chain. As a result, Feng Xingtian fell off a towering cliff. Feng Lixue became certain that her father had been killed by Fengyue and, enraged, tried to kill him.

Mo Xiao intervened to stop her, but accidentally caused Feng Lixue to fall. He rushed to catch her, but she had already accepted death and swore to return for revenge even as a ghost. Then she let go of his hand and plummeted down the cliff. Her fall triggered a strong emotional response in Mo Xiao, who let out a furious roar as dark energy surged around him and his eyes turned red. Feng Lixue was saved by Chong Guang.

He wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and told her that as long as he was around, he wouldn’t let her die. Feng Xingtian had escaped after his betrayal and returned eight years later to challenge Fengyue again. During the fight, Fengyue realized that Feng Xingtian had fallen into demonic cultivation.

Worried he was being used by others and might suffer backlash, Fengyue knew that though Feng Xingtian had vanished for now, others like him would continue to emerge. To protect Shushan, he willingly injected his divine core into Mo Xiao’s body. The disciple Yuan Beichen didn’t understand why Fengyue would do this at such a critical moment, but Fengyue knew his time was running out. His goal was to safeguard Shushan.

There had always been a strange power within Mo Xiao, which Fengyue had suppressed for years. Now, triggered by recent events, it was erupting. If guided by righteous energy, this power could make Mo Xiao the guardian of Shushan. Fengyue passed his sword technique and divine core to Mo Xiao and instructed Yuan Beichen to keep this secret. From then on, Mo Xiao was required to practice diligently every day.

In his spare moments, he would hold the bird’s nest and think of Feng Lixue, who had risked her life to save it. One day, while training, he turned around to find that Fengyue had already transformed into golden light and vanished. Ten years later, Yuan Beichen had become the head of Shushan. Realizing the time had come, he ordered the bell to be rung, summoning the leaders of all sects.

Murong Changfeng, leader of the Wind Whisper Sect; Xie Tianjun, leader of the Iron Law Sect; and Xuan Zhen, leader of the Hundred Herbs Sect, all arrived with their followers to welcome the return of the Fengyue Divine Sword. Its appearance signified the emergence of Shushan’s next leader, a plan decided a decade ago, which Yuan Beichen had never discussed with the other sects. Mo Xiao suddenly appeared before everyone, surrounded by powerful sword aura.

He slowly descended and bowed to Yuan Beichen, reporting that he had completed his cultivation and was now emerging. Everyone was delighted by Mo Xiao’s talent but criticized Yuan Beichen for hiding the truth for so many years. Yuan Beichen explained that this had been Fengyue’s strict instruction—to tell no one until the time came. Though many admired Mo Xiao’s skills, they felt naming him the next leader so suddenly might be rash.

However, Yuan Beichen brought Mo Xiao before them and officially announced him as the young sect master and future leader. Mo Xiao was placed in a separate courtyard, and everyone liked the kind and considerate young sect master. Xie Lingyun, who had played with Mo Xiao since childhood and used to climb trees with him, immediately came to reconnect when he heard Mo Xiao had returned. Murong Jing also arrived to greet him—she had secretly flown to visit him before.

As soon as Xie Lingyun and Murong Jing met, they started bickering. Mo Xiao ignored them, and seeing it was time for his noon practice, closed the door to begin. Knowing Mo Xiao’s habits, Xie Lingyun brought some silver, guessing that Yuan Beichen would soon send Mo Xiao on a journey. He hoped to tag along. Mo Xiao quietly opened the door, took the silver through the crack, and smiled. Suddenly, a snow demon appeared on Mount Mang, destroying villagers’ crops.

The people sent a plea to Shushan, begging them to vanquish the demon. Yuan Beichen called a meeting to decide who to send, and Murong Changfeng recommended Mo Xiao. Mo Xiao flew his sword to Mount Mang and found the entire area frozen. The snow demon appeared and attacked him. Mo Xiao swiftly defeated it using the Fengyue Sword. When Mo Xiao arrived in town, the people came out in gratitude for ridding them of the snow demon.

The village chief thanked him and asked for more help. The crops were destroyed, and the snow was too thick to melt. Even without the snow demon, they faced starvation. Though Mo Xiao couldn’t raise the dead, he agreed to use his powers to accelerate the thaw and save what crops he could. With his fire power, the snow began to melt. The people’s gratitude toward Mo Xiao grew.

However, drained of energy, he fell from the sky into the snowy land of Mount Mang, unconscious. When Mo Xiao regained consciousness, a girl in white was dragging him forward. He soon passed out again. The girl dragged him into a cave and fed him lingzhi water. The orphan Wu Chen from Mount Mang, seeing that Mo Xiao still hadn’t woken up, planned to go out again with her little fox Xue’er to search for more lingzhi.

Meanwhile, the village chief sent people to search for Mo Xiao, fearing he might be in danger. Wu Chen returned with some fruit, saving two pieces just for Mo Xiao, even though it meant less for her and Xue’er.
