Yu Wuyuan arrived uninvited, taking the initiative to visit the Tianshuang Sect. Although he admitted the broken jade pendant came from the Yu family, he lied, claiming to have lost it years ago. Bai Jiande took the opportunity to ask if Yu Wuyuan knew of the bearer of the Empyrean Token, saying that during his investigation, he suspected the jade pendant was somehow connected to the Qionglin Garden. This comment from Bai Jiande aroused Yu Wuyuan’s suspicion.

He hadn’t expected the other party to know so many secrets and thus decided to kill him. That very night, Bai Jiande sought out Bai Fengxi for a casual chat, expressing his wish to retire from the martial world while he still had the freedom to travel. However, his greatest concern remained the Tianshuang Sect, so before leaving, he hoped to appoint a suitable sect leader.

Though Bai Fengxi was the best candidate for sect leader, her identity made it impossible for her to remain there long term. Following her suggestion, it was decided that her daughter Bai Langhua would take over the leadership. Bai Langhua was still young and inexperienced, but she was not alone—Xiu Jiurong was by her side, and thus it was agreed that he would serve as deputy leader to assist her.

With conflict raging across the six states, Bai Fengxi knew Qingzhou would inevitably be affected. Yet she believed there was no need to return for now. After all, wherever Hei Fengxi was, that was her home. Bai Jiande, knowing she would not go back on her decision, warned her to be cautious no matter what she faced and to never forget the dangers of the world. He also wished her true happiness.

The next morning, shocking news came from the Tianshuang Sect—the sect leader had been murdered. Since Bai Jiande had met Bai Fengxi before his death, Bai Langhua insisted she killed him to seize the position. Hei Fengxi believed something was off, but Bai Langhua refused to listen, accusing Hei Fengxi and Bai Fengxi of collusion—one poisoned, the other covered it up. Bai Langhua’s slander left Bai Fengxi bitterly disappointed, but there was no evidence to clear her name.

The crowd grew increasingly agitated. Just as Hei Fengxi was about to take Bai Fengxi away, Bai Langhua accused them of fleeing out of guilt and, in a panic, stabbed Bai Fengxi in the chest with her sword, then froze in shock. Summoning her last ounce of strength, Bai Fengxi stopped Hei Fengxi from killing in revenge.

Ultimately, Hei Fengxi used his identity tied to the Fountain Abode to forcefully take her away, hiding her in a dilapidated temple outside the city. As she hovered between life and death, Bai Fengxi instead comforted Hei Fengxi, wondering what would happen if she really were to die here. Before she could finish, Hei Fengxi interrupted her, declaring that if the King of Hell insisted on taking her, he would storm the gates of Fengdu itself to bring her back.

With no doctors in the remote area, Hei Fengxi remembered the Lan Yin Flower Elder Taiyin had given him. He chewed the petals and fed them to Bai Fengxi. To his surprise, her inner strength suddenly returned, and he used it to refine the petals into medicine, saving her life. When Bai Fengxi awoke, three days had passed. From Hei Fengxi, she learned that he had saved her using the Lan Yin Flower and restored her meridians and inner power.

During this time, Zhong Li continued to protect the Tianshuang Sect, and Bai Langhua officially took over as leader, later holding a funeral for Bai Jiande. Remembering Bai Jiande’s dying words, Bai Fengxi felt there was more to his death. Hei Fengxi also noticed the condition of Bai Jiande’s corpse was eerily similar to that of his late mother—the skin on their hands was wrinkled, a sign they both died from the same rare poison.

Since someone had framed Bai Fengxi to sow chaos in the Tianshuang Sect, the culprit must be someone powerful. Hei Fengxi suspected the incident was linked to the counterfeit Empyrean Token. Just then, Han Pu entered, reporting that his silver needle test on Bai Jiande’s corpse showed no signs of poisoning. Hei Fengxi recalled there was a type of poison undetectable by silver needles—Qianji, a highly secret toxin crafted by the Dadong royal family.

The Han family’s ancestors had served as imperial physicians and had accidentally discovered its existence. Given the involvement of the Dadong royal family, Hei Fengxi accompanied Bai Fengxi to mourn Bai Jiande, then decided to head to the Imperial Capital. Meanwhile, the King of Qing’s health was rapidly declining, with only months or weeks left. He instructed Feng Xieyue to take on more state responsibilities and never forget his original intentions.

In the past, Qingzhou bordered Youzhou, and there had long been animosity. Now that Youzhou’s princess had married Jizhou’s hereditary prince, Youzhou was likely to attack. Feng Xieyue must not lose even a single city and must protect the people from a brutal war. Knowing his time was short, the King of Qing wanted to see his daughter one last time and asked Feng Xieyue to write to Feng Xiyun. Elsewhere, Huang Chao had married Hua Chunran.

The two drank happily with the Lord of Youzhou, when a palace servant interrupted, reporting that the Hereditary Prince of Qingzhou had been governing for over two months. Given the King of Qing’s usual hands-on approach, this sudden shift meant his condition was dire—both Youzhou and Jizhou saw this as the perfect time to invade.

Unaware of all this, Bai Fengxi arrived at the Imperial Capital of Dadong with Hei Fengxi and others, meeting the head of the Wuyun Thirty-Eight Strongholds. Though their last meeting had been a hostile clash, this time, Bai Fengxi came seeking a favor—three masks to help them infiltrate the Hidden Market.
