In the ominous Black Forest, Shuofeng Heye meets Suhe, Red Bird Amu, and the Chilang man who had previously stabbed him. Heye, who saved the Chilang people from a curse, inquires about Suhe's whereabouts. The Chilang man gives Heye the Kuafu Axe, and Red Bird Amu indicates Suhe's imminent arrival. Upon arrival, Suhe receives a long blood jade from Heye, which Heye had retrieved after it was left by the Snow Wolf King.
Suhe uses his Satane powers on the blood jade, causing it to glow, and discerns information, specifically asking Heye about a place in Hanzhou marked by giant strange stones. Heye, recalling the megalithic array his father, Shuofeng Da, had visited, expresses surprise at Suhe's knowledge. Suhe reveals he knows how to unite the Hanzhou Eight Tribes and stop their mutual slaughter, urging Heye to follow him.
Before their departure, Suhe returns a magic bell to Red Bird Amu, and the Chilang leader also gives Heye a magic bell. The Chilang leader offers a deal: in exchange for Heye finding them a free homeland on the Hanzhou prairie, the Chilang people will transform into wolves when the bell rings and fight for Heye for three days, swearing on their ancestors' honor.
Heye accepts the bell, promising to fulfill their hopes and declaring himself the God of the Earth, Iron Qin, and future king. Heye then gives a magic bell to Suhe, stating he needs Suhe's power to unify Hanzhou and conquer Kyushu. Heye and Suhe embark on a new journey towards the megalithic array, passing the former living place of the Shuofeng tribe. Heye expresses his ambition to fight the Muyun clan for control of the world.
After uniting the Eight Tribes, he plans to raise an army, train them into true iron cavalry, awaken the brave hearts of the Hanzhou people, slaughter all Muru iron cavalry, and decisively defeat the Muyun clan in battle. Meanwhile, in Hanzhou North, Muyun Yanshuang, accompanied by Gu Songzhi, resolves to shoot her last silver feather arrow to find Heye.
Gu Songzhi questions Yanshuang's certainty, but she declares her absolute trust in the arrow's secret art, which she believes will draw the target to her, no matter where they are. The silver feather arrow accurately strikes near Heye's heart from thousands of miles away, causing him to fall. Heye instructs Suhe to prevent him from straying, as the arrow's secret art will pull him towards the shooter. Suhe asks if a beloved woman shot the arrow.
Heye, recalling kissing Yanshuang, states with resolve that no one can impede his path to becoming Iron Qin. Suhe, using his Satane powers, chants a spell and removes the arrow. He breaks its secret art and then casts a new spell, a "true love forever" blessing, on Heye. Suhe explains that if Yanshuang truly loves Heye, she will follow the "silver arrow of yearning" to him.
If she does not come, Heye should forget her, as it would mean she does not truly love him. Simultaneously, Yanshuang, on horseback, experiences a sudden heart pain and appears dazed. In Tianqi City, Su Yuning and Muyun Lu arrive, escorted by Muru Suo.
At the city gate, Muru Hanshan informs Muyun Lu that Emperor Muyun Qin has ordered Su Yuning to temporarily reside in the palace as a showgirl until the Crown Prince's investiture ceremony, after which she will be betrothed to Muyun Sheng. Muru Hanshan also reports that Muru Suo has already captured Mu Ruhanjiang.
Muyun Lu had initially intended to find Mu Ruhanjiang to save Su Yuning, but upon hearing Mu Ruhanjiang was captured, Su Yuning becomes anxious and immediately pleads with Muyun Lu to save Mu Ruhanjiang's life, leaving Muyun Lu disheartened. Muyun Lu goes to see Emperor Muyun Qin in the palace, only to be scolded. Muyun Qin expresses his deep disappointment, having believed Muyun Lu to be the purest of his sons, not one who would covet the imperial throne.
Muyun Lu, resenting Muyun Qin's favoritism, asserts that he is more suited to be Crown Prince than Muyun Sheng. Muyun Qin, not outwardly enraged, presses Muyun Lu for the whereabouts of the Imperial Jade Seal, reiterating his decision that Muyun Sheng will be the sole future emperor.
Muyun Lu, recalling Su Yuning's plea to save Mu Ruhanjiang, tells Muyun Qin that he does not know the seal's location, and that all information about it is with Mu Ruhanjiang; only by keeping Mu Ruhanjiang alive can they learn its whereabouts. Muyun Qin perceives Muyun Lu's clear intent to protect Mu Ruhanjiang and, fearing Muyun Lu still harbors ambitions for the throne, orders him confined to his residence.
Muyun Lu is forbidden from contact with civil officials until Muyun Qin's death and Muyun Sheng is securely on the throne, after which Muyun Lu will be exiled. Muyun Lu is heartbroken by Muyun Qin's ruthlessness and tearfully bids farewell to the Emperor for the last time. Muyun Qin is touched by his son's departure but hardens his heart for Muyun Sheng's sake. Meanwhile, Mu Ruhanjiang is imprisoned in a room in Muru Manor by Muru Suo.
He refuses to eat Muru family food and shouts in protest. Muru Furen visits, bringing food. She uses a small trick to get Mu Ruhanjiang to eat, relieved to see him finally do so, as she hasn't seen him in a long time.
Muru Furen acknowledges the Muru family's great debt to Mu Ruhanjiang and wants to make amends as a mother, revealing that she has been secretly collecting information about him and visiting him for years, enduring sorrow and hiding to ensure his safety due to the constraints of the Muru surname, which represents power and the need to prioritize the world over personal feelings.
Mu Ruhanjiang, having grown up in the streets, expresses his confusion and anger, unable to forgive her for abandoning him and watching him suffer without intervention. He dismisses her as "sick" and says he doesn't want to see her. Muru Furen sits quietly, content simply to watch him. Muru Suo enters the room and again pressures Mu Ruhanjiang for the Imperial Jade Seal's location. Mu Ruhanjiang refuses to reveal it, telling Muru Suo to ask Muyun Lu instead.
Muru Suo then reveals that Muyun Lu has been confined by Muyun Qin for protecting Mu Ruhanjiang, and has completely lost Emperor Muyun Qin's trust. Mu Ruhanjiang vehemently condemns Muru Suo and Muyun Qin for their cruelty in "locking up flesh and blood" and abandoning their own children. In response to Mu Ruhanjiang's condemnation, Muru Suo personally removes Mu Ruhanjiang's shackles, granting him freedom.
Muru Suo then explains the critical situation: Muyun Lu committed treason by protecting Mu Ruhanjiang, thus losing all trust from Muyun Qin. If Mu Ruhanjiang were to cause further trouble now, it would nullify Muyun Lu's sacrifice and endanger the entire Muru family. Mu Ruhanjiang, who was on the verge of leaving the room, reconsiders after hearing this. He returns to the room, deciding to remain in Muru Manor.
