Ying Gu came at midnight to seek revenge on Duan Zhixing. Guo Jing appeared and tried to persuade Ying Gu to spare Duan Zhixing. Seeing that Ying Gu wouldn't listen, Guo Jing had no choice but to intervene and stop Ying Gu from killing him. Unexpectedly, Duan Zhixing used the One Yang Finger to trap Guo Jing. For all these years, he had been waiting for Ying Gu to come, fearing she wouldn't arrive to settle this karma.
Duan Zhixing let Ying Gu take his life herself, but Ying Gu thought of all the good things Duan Zhixing had done for her over the years and still couldn't bring herself to kill him. Qiu Qianren followed them. Ying Gu unexpectedly discovered that Qiu Qianren's laughter was identical to the laughter of the person who had killed her son back then, only then realizing that it was Qiu Qianren who had killed her son.
Back then, Qiu Qianren injured the child hoping that Duan Zhixing would exhaust his cultivation saving the child, thus having one less opponent in the Battle of Mount Hua. Ying Gu wanted to kill Qiu Qianren but was no match for him. Qiu Qianren not only injured Ying Gu but also thanked her for bringing Huang Rong to seek medical treatment, which not only poisoned Duan Zhixing but also drained his true energy.
Guo Jing and Huang Rong appeared to stop Qiu Qianren from killing Ying Gu. Qiu Qianren further entertained the idea of killing Huang Rong to disturb Huang Yaoshi's mind, so that he would have one less opponent in the Battle of Mount Hua. Huang Rong knew that it would be difficult to injure Qiu Qianren, so she could only team up with Guo Jing to trick Qiu Qianren and make him wary.
Duan Zhixing's appearance made Qiu Qianren believe that his power was still present, so Qiu Qianren could only leave temporarily. Ying Gu had already given up seeking revenge on Duan Zhixing, only asking him to pray for her deceased child day and night. Ying Gu was surprised to learn from Huang Rong that Zhou Botong had left the island and persuaded Ying Gu to stay alive and seek out Zhou Botong, and together with him, kill Qiu Qianren.
The last few chapters of the Nine Yin Manual were in Sanskrit. Guo Jing learned that the Nine Yin Manual might help Duan Zhixing recover from his injuries, so he volunteered to transcribe the Nine Yin Manual to help Duan Zhixing heal. Duan Zhixing also agreed to help translate the Sanskrit and would teach it to Guo Jing and Huang Rong once he had studied it. The Jurchen forces were retreating steadily.
Wanyan Honglie received six secret imperial decrees urging him to return to the capital. If he still couldn't obtain the Treatise in Wumu's Mausoleum to turn the tide of battle, the Emperor would be furious, and he and Yang Kang would have no peace. Yang Kang stated that martial arts masters from the martial world would gather at Drunken Immortal Inn in Jiaxing on the fifteenth day of the eighth lunar month for a competition.
Guo Jing and the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan would definitely go, and Yang Kang said this was their last chance to retrieve the Treatise in Wumu's Mausoleum. The Seven Freaks of Jiangnan knew about the misunderstanding between the Quanzhen Sect and Huang Yaoshi. To prevent conflict in the martial world, they went to Peach Blossom Island to find Huang Yaoshi and explain the matter.
The Seven Freaks of Jiangnan arrived at Peach Blossom Island, but because Huang Yaoshi did not want to see them, they were trapped within the grand formation of Peach Blossom Island and could not find Huang Yaoshi. Duan Zhixing practiced the cultivation methods from the Nine Yin Manual, perhaps gaining five years' worth of progress in just one month.
He gave the cultivation methods to Guo Jing, asking him to pass them on to Hong Qigong to practice, which might help Hong Qigong unblock his eight extraordinary meridians and recover his martial arts. Guo Jing and Huang Rong bid farewell to Duan Zhixing and went to find their master, Hong Qigong. Zhou Botong found Hong Qigong from the palace and brought him along to search for Guo Jing and Huang Rong.
Along the way, he also took the opportunity to overpower the four top experts from the Prince's manor loyal to Wanyan Honglie and make them serve him and Hong Qigong. Hong Qigong unexpectedly saw Ke Zhen'e's whereabouts in Jiaxing and went to find him, while the playful Zhou Botong stayed at the inn to compete in endurance with the experts from the Prince's manor.
Guo Jing and Huang Rong found Zhou Botong at the inn, learned that he was in a competition, and Huang Rong intervened to stop the competition. After questioning Zhou Botong, they couldn't find out Hong Qigong's whereabouts, so the two had to go out and search for their master.
