To retaliate against Lu Zhaoyao, Lin Ziyu chose to seek refuge with Elder Chi, helping the sect deal with Wanlumen. The spy Sima Rong sent to monitor Lin Ziyu was discovered by her. Although the spy preferred to commit suicide rather than reveal who instructed him, Elder Chi recognized at a glance that he was sent by Sima Rong.
Lin Ziyu knew how skilled Sima Rong was at gathering intelligence, so she told Elder Chi that she had a way to blind Sima Rong. Jin Xiu informed Jiang Wu that he had persuaded the other sect leaders to agree to jointly besiege Dust Pavilion. Only then did Jiang Wu agree to let him take Tang Yun away.
Jin Xiu still had some affection for Tang Yun; he advised her not to meddle in jianghu affairs after returning to the sect. Seeing Jin Xiu become so unfamiliar for the sake of power, Tang Yun felt very sad. She had considered him a close friend, but Jin Xiu was no different from other jianghu people, so she didn't want to say anything more to him.
Because Jin Xiu and Jiang Wu reached an agreement, Tang Yun was released from the dungeon, on the condition that she would no longer interfere in sect matters. The puppet Yuezhu found a portrait of Yuezhu from her lifetime inside the house. Puzzled, she found Sima Rong and stated that her ears were different from those in the painting, clamoring for Sima Rong to change it.
Sima Rong felt a bit sad recalling the past, and he seemed somewhat perfunctory towards the puppet Yuezhu, making her very unhappy. Sima Rong diligently researched the Empty Pill given to him by Li Chenlan, but made no progress. He decided to seek Qin Qianxian for a solution. In front of Qin Zhiyan, Lu Shiqi asked Qin Qianxian if he liked Lu Zhaoyao, which made Qin Qianxian a bit embarrassed.
Lu Shiqi grew very anxious seeing this and warned them both not to like Lu Zhaoyao, because she was hers. Sima Rong tested Li Chenlan, asking what he would do if the returning Lu Zhaoyao wasn't the original person. After hearing this, Li Chenlan unequivocally declared that he only loved one Lu Zhaoyao, and his words deeply moved Sima Rong. Sima Rong and Li Chenlan sought Qin Qianxian to ask for a solution to the Empty Pill's side effects.
After hearing the reason, Qin Qianxian admitted that he had seen a formation in the Library Box called the Six-Vajra Matrixes. This formation could Rebirth flesh and blood, which might solve their urgent problem; if Lu Zhaoyao could undergo Rebirth, the Empty Pill's side effects might disappear. However, this formation had been lost in the jianghu for a long time and required a magic artifact to suppress it, so it was uncertain if it would work.
Li Chenlan was willing to give up anything for Lu Zhaoyao, so he naturally agreed immediately, asking Qin Qianxian for help. Qin Qianxian discussed with everyone that he would go back to retrieve the magic artifact while everyone else would act separately. As soon as Sima Rong returned to Wanlumen, Ziyu led people to Xishan Courtyard to cause trouble.
The puppet Yuezhu was originally inside looking at Yuezhu's portrait when Ziyu unceremoniously exposed the truth that she was made of wood. After learning the truth, the puppet Yuezhu completely collapsed. She couldn't believe that she was merely a substitute, not even truly a person. Lin Ziyu sent people to destroy Sima Rong's Xishan Courtyard. In the raging fire, a large amount of intelligence collected by Sima Rong and Yuezhu's favorite tree were all destroyed.
Lin Ziyu looked at the scene before her, her heart filled with mixed emotions. Due to the Empty Pill matter, Qin Qianxian set off the next day to Dust Pavilion to retrieve the magic artifact Heart Lotus. Lu Shiqi was very sad to learn that Qin Qianxian had left without saying goodbye, complaining that he left without greeting her. When Sima Rong received the news and rushed back to Xishan Courtyard, the fire had almost burned out.
Not only was the tree holding Yuezhu's memories destroyed, but even the puppet Yuezhu was severely injured. Although the puppet Yuezhu was made of wood and impervious to pain, the fire still caused her irreparable damage. When Sima Rong rushed back, the puppet's consciousness was almost gone. The puppet Yuezhu used her last strength to tell Sima Rong not to repair her, as she was merely a substitute anyway.
Although Sima Rong promised to repair the puppet Yuezhu, she had already lost the will to live the moment she learned the truth. Li Chenlan was Sima Rong's closest friend, so he naturally understood the importance of Xishan Courtyard to Sima Rong. With such an incident occurring, he naturally couldn't just sit by and watch. Li Chenlan sent people to investigate quickly, determined to find the arsonist.
Sima Rong, however, knew very well that the spies he sent to track Lin Ziyu had been arrested one after another, so the fire at the courtyard naturally had to do with her. Elder Chi complained about Lin Ziyu's solemn promise, which only resulted in the destruction of Xishan Courtyard. Lin Ziyu, however, stated that Xishan Courtyard contained a lot of intelligence, and even if Sima Rong managed to escape, his losses would be significant, which finally pleased Elder Chi.
After Qin Qianxian returned to Dust Pavilion, he immediately retrieved the magic artifact Golden Lotus. Li Chenlan's injuries were slow to heal, and Sima Rong was very worried seeing this. However, Li Chenlan insisted on Gu Hanguang helping him recover quickly so that he could hold the line in the Six-Vajra Matrixes. Sima Rong knew this matter was no small feat.
He had learned from Qin Qianxian that the Xuzong Sect possessed spiritual medicine, and that the expulsion of Jiang Wu's devil within years ago was related to it. He asked Gu Hanguang if he knew the inside story. After hearing this, Hanguang recalled events from back then. The Jiang family had suffered from a curse for generations, and jianghu rumors claimed that Rebirth was one of the 3 treasures in Xuzong Sect.
As a child, Gu Hanguang had even secretly observed it with Leader Jiang, but was discovered by his master and severely reprimanded. Jin Xiu persuaded Tang Yun with the future of the sect, asking her to agree to turn a blind eye to Jiang Wu dealing with Qin Qianxian. Tang Yun was hesitant at first; she always felt that Qin Qianxian's crime wasn't punishable by death.
However, Jin Xiu was determined to sacrifice Qin Qianxian in exchange for Jiang Wu's support. Jin Xiu deliberately told Tang Yun that when he made his move, she could bring people to help Dust Pavilion, because he also didn't want to destroy Dust Pavilion's century-old reputation. Only then did Tang Yun agree to cooperate. Jin Xiu then used the same method to persuade the other sect leaders, and everyone was now thoroughly planning to sacrifice Qin Qianxian.
After Qin Qianxian returned to Dust Pavilion, he publicly spoke to the disciples about his connection with Jiang Wu, blaming himself for insufficient cultivation which led to the birth of a devil within. He planned to resign as sect leader, but his disciples urged him to stay. Jin Xiu, under the guise of purging traitors for Dust Pavilion, led a large contingent of people to surround Dust Pavilion.
A storm was brewing; Qin Qianxian faintly felt that the time for his confrontation with Jiang Wu was approaching. Fortunately, Dust Pavilion's disciples had always respected him and were willing to share his difficulties during this crisis. Jiang Wu went to Dust Pavilion alone, while Jin Xiu also brought his large contingent, leaving Qin Qianxian in dire straits.
