Long Xiao furiously rebuked his father, Long Que, for being too pedantic. He accused him of knowingly withholding the Yin-Yang Codex from the Armory, which could have reversed his fate, causing him to live uselessly for over a decade. Long Que repeatedly explained that the Yin-Yang Codex didn’t possess the power to bring the dead back to life, but Long Xiao didn’t believe him and lashed out at him.

He blamed Long Que for relocating the Longyuan Pavilion for his wife, for keeping Rong Xuan’s secret for the sake of his deceased brother, but refusing to extend the life of his own son. Wen Kexing, unwilling to listen to his nonsense, immediately struck his throat with a hidden weapon, rendering him mute. Ye Baiyi couldn’t wait to learn about the relationship between Long Que and Rong Xuan and the entanglements of the past.

Long Que admitted that his wife Yu Zhui was introduced by Yue Feng’er, the senior disciple of the Valley of the Divine Healer. Wen Kexing confirmed with Long Que whether Rong Xuan had forced him to build the Armory back then and whether Gao Chong had coerced him to open it. Long Que guessed these were all lies made up by Long Xiao and advised Wen Kexing not to believe them.

He willingly helped Rong Xuan build the Armory, leaving Wen Kexing dumbfounded. Zhou Zishu wanted to know the truth of the past, and Long Que began recounting it in detail. Qin Huaizhang was the first to meet Rong Xuan, and later Long Que and the others gradually got to know him as well. They worked together to punish evil and uphold justice across the martial world. The Armory was built by everyone to help Rong Xuan.

When Long Que learned that Zhang Chengling was the son of Zhang Yusen, he called him over and was pained to learn that his father had died protecting the Glazed Armor. Long Que repeatedly emphasized that even with all five pieces of the Glazed Armor, the Armory could not be opened without the key that Rong Xuan held. Wen Kexing clenched his fists and remained silent. Zhou Zishu, understanding his inner conflict, gently placed a hand on his shoulder.

Ye Baiyi pressed for the whereabouts of the key, but Long Que resolutely refused to tell. Ye Baiyi kept pressing him, and Wen Kexing could no longer bear it, stepping in to stop Ye Baiyi. Ye Baiyi finally admitted that Rong Xuan was his disciple, and he only wanted to find out the true cause of Rong Xuan’s death. Wen Kexing was once again stunned. Zhao Jing placed Gao Chong’s memorial tablet in the ancestral hall.

Facing two rows of tablets for the deceased, he felt indescribably pleased. As the sole survivor of the Armory’s construction, he couldn’t help but curse at Rong Xuan’s tablet and harshly criticized Gao Chong. Zhao Jing proudly boasted to everyone that he had finally achieved his goal of leading the Five Lakes Alliance. Ye Baiyi practiced a set of Sword Techniques of Sealing the Mountains.

Long Que recognized him as Rong Xuan’s master and was moved to tears, shocked that he was still alive. Long Que finally witnessed the miraculous power of the Six Harmonies Manual, which could make one regain youth. He clearly remembered that Rong Xuan and Yue Feng’er had intended to return the Six Harmonies Manual to Changming Mountain. Ye Baiyi cursed Rong Xuan as a fool and continued to question the cause of his death.

Long Que recalled the days they spent together, and a faint glimmer appeared in his clouded eyes. He remembered that Qin Huaizhang had chosen the location for the Armory, which Long Que later modified. The Glazed Armor and the key had been collected by Qin Huaizhang during his early travels. Rong Xuan had voluntarily invited Zhao Jing, Gao Chong, Shen Shen, Lu Taichong, and Zhang Yusen to compete in martial arts.

Gao Chong accidentally wounded Rong Xuan’s arm, not knowing his sword was laced with the Three-Corpse Poison. Rong Xuan was severely poisoned, and an enraged Yue Feng’er drove all five men away. In her desperation to save Rong Xuan, Yue Feng’er used a forbidden technique from the Yin-Yang Codex of the Valley of the Divine Healer, which drove Rong Xuan mad. In a fit of madness, he accidentally killed Yue Feng’er and was later hunted by all the martial artists.

Yue Feng’er had known before her death that she would never return to the Valley of the Divine Healer, so she entrusted Zhen Ruyu and his wife with seeking a cure and gave them the key to the Armory. When Zhen Ruyu hurried back to Qingya Mountain, Rong Xuan was already heavily surrounded and severely injured.

Zhen Ruyu pleaded on his behalf, hoping to bring him back to the Valley for treatment and promising to atone for Rong Xuan for the rest of his life. Rong Xuan knocked him out and fought with the martial artists, eventually dying in battle. After Rong Xuan’s death, martial artists forced Zhen Ruyu to reveal the secrets of the Armory. Zhen Ruyu firmly refused, so they coerced the old Chief of the Valley to hand him over.

Madame Zhen fled with the seriously injured Zhen Ruyu and their young son, disappearing without a trace. The second disciple and his wife colluded with bandits and were expelled by the old Chief. After the Chief’s death, the Valley of the Divine Healer withdrew from the martial world. By the time Long Que heard the news, it was already too late.

He deliberately released the rumor that the Longyuan Pavilion could open the Armory to stop the hunt for Zhen Ruyu’s family. Wen Kexing was deeply moved by Long Que’s righteousness. Zhou Zishu was also filled with emotion. Ye Baiyi agreed to help fulfill Long Que’s wish, but Long Que had already given up hope and asked for nothing. Instead, he blamed Ye Baiyi for not passing the Six Harmonies Manual to Rong Xuan.

He had stolen it and left the mountain. Ye Baiyi made it clear that the Six Harmonies Manual was not a good thing—otherwise, he would have given it to Rong Xuan long ago. He only regretted not destroying it back then. Long Que shared the same feeling. Looking at Long Xiao, he sighed toward the heavens.
