Li Bing speculated that the veteran soldiers in hiding were very likely controlled by Yong'an Pavilion. If this was the case, Yong'an Pavilion might hold the Emperor hostage during the sacrificial ceremony three days later. They urgently needed to return to Shendu immediately to protect the Emperor, but the city gates were already closed, and furthermore, the few of them were wanted criminals and could not enter the city at all.

Li Bing suddenly remembered the hot air balloon from the opera troupe, so he asked the villagers to find rattan and cotton cloth to make a hot air balloon. Thus, a hot air balloon flew over the city gates of Shendu at night, and the few of them successfully entered the city. On the day of the sacrificial ceremony, Wang Qi and the others dressed as Yong'an Pavilion elders and entered the palace to meet the Emperor.

The personal guards noticed something strange and questioned their identities closely. Wang Qi removed his hat, explained their identities and intentions, and advised Empress Wu Zetian not to leave the palace to avoid falling into Yong'an Pavilion's trap. Qiu Qingzhi was escorting Yi Zhi Hua towards the sacrificial ceremony when he was intercepted by Li Bing halfway. Li Bing asked where the dagger was hidden.

Suddenly, many soldiers were stationed on the city wall, firing densely at the two of them. Qiu Qingzhi hid behind a stone lion and shouted loudly to Li Bing on the other side that the plan had changed and told Li Bing to return to the palace first to protect the Emperor. After Li Bing left, Lai Zhongshu appeared at the city gate with a troop of soldiers.

It turned out that Lai Zhongshu had also ingested animal bones, allowing him to recover promptly after severe injury, and he had also intercepted Qiu Qingzhi's homing pigeon, thus deliberately disrupting Qiu Qingzhi's plan. Yong'an Pavilion no longer trusted Qiu Qingzhi, and Lai Zhongshu had become the new informant. Yong'an Pavilion's subordinates entered the palace to urge Wu Zetian to proceed with the sacrifice.

Just as the few from Mingjing Hall were about to be unable to hold on, Xu Hu led a troop of veteran soldiers to protect the Emperor in time. When Li Bing arrived at the palace, Yong'an Pavilion's subordinates were already under control. Wu Zetian ordered everyone to withdraw, leaving Li Bing to talk with her alone. Wu Zetian already knew about Li Bing and also knew about Yong'an Pavilion's manipulations behind the scenes.

A few days prior, when Qiu Qingzhi submitted his memorial about the sacrificial ceremony, he attached a secret letter explaining Yong'an Pavilion's instigation of the national war that year and Li Bing's transformation into a cat. Wu Zetian issued an order, requiring Li Bing to thoroughly investigate the national war three years ago and cleanse the imperial court. Xu Hu told the few from Mingjing Hall that he had been following Qiu Qingzhi for a long time.

The cave Li Bing found a few days ago was where Qiu Qingzhi kept his soldiers. Qiu Qingzhi truly wanted to vindicate the veteran soldiers. Back in Huangsha Valley that year, Qiu Qingzhi was the first to find Yi Zhi Hua. Everyone thought Yi Zhi Hua was a monster, but only Qiu Qingzhi was not afraid. He struck him repeatedly.

Afterwards, they encountered quicksand, and Yi Zhi Hua was almost swallowed, but Qiu Qingzhi saved Yi Zhi Hua again and tamed him. Subsequently, Yi Zhi Hua asked Qiu Qingzhi what he wanted to gain from him. Qiu Qingzhi sought neither fame nor fortune, which made Yi Zhi Hua feel that this person was different. The auspicious sacrificial ceremony was proposed by Yong'an Pavilion.

Qiu Qingzhi originally intended to publicly expose Yong'an Pavilion during the sacrifice, but he did not expect Lai Zhongshu to survive and start working for Yong'an Pavilion. Li Bing returned to Court of Judicial Review again to look for the dagger, telling the others to rest and provide support. Inside Court of Judicial Review, Qiu Qingzhi had been beaten by Yi Zhi Hua until he was on the verge of death.

Yi Zhi Hua told Li Bing that it was time to reveal the truth. That year, Qiu Qingzhi asked him to turn Li Bing into a cat demon because Yong'an Pavilion would definitely get rid of Li Bing, so only by making him immortal would he have a chance for revenge. Qiu Qingzhi was already severely injured. Yi Zhi Hua encouraged him to drink human blood, but Qiu Qingzhi refused to become a monster devoid of conscience.

He held on to his last breath and handed Li Bing a purse, the one Li Bing had given him for travel expenses when he left the Li residence that year. He then died from excessive blood loss.
