Zhou Zishu took Zhang Chengling and left the inn. Wen Kexing was already waiting at the intersection. Zhang Chengling thanked him for saving his life. At that moment, the deputy branch master of the Beggar Sect's Dazhi Branch, a limping beggar, called out to Zhang Chengling. Claiming that Huang He had entrusted him to find Zhang Yusen’s son, the Beggar Sect disciples surrounded them. Zhang Chengling, not recognizing them, hid behind Zhou Zishu.

The limping beggar insisted that Shen Shen had asked the Beggar Sect for help and was determined to take Zhang Chengling with him. Zhang Chengling refused, and the beggar accused Zhou Zishu of drugging him. Wen Kexing argued with the beggar on the spot. With one command, the Beggar Sect disciples formed an impenetrable formation to attack Zhou Zishu. Zhou Zishu asked Wen Kexing to take care of Zhang Chengling. With effortless skill, he broke through their formation.

Zhang Chengling, worried, asked Wen Kexing to help, but Wen Kexing was confident that Zhou Zishu could handle it alone. Zhou Zishu scattered a bag of soybeans on the ground, causing the Beggar Sect disciples to fall. The limping beggar tried to seize Zhang Chengling while Zhou Zishu was surrounded. Wen Kexing urged Zhou Zishu to use his weapon, but Zhou Zishu ignored him and tried to break through to rescue Zhang Chengling.

Suddenly coughing up blood, Zhou Zishu managed to grab Zhang Chengling and flee. Wen Kexing killed the limping beggar and the other disciples. Zhou Zishu brought Zhang Chengling into a small alley. Exhausted, he sat down to meditate and restore his energy. One of Ghost Valley's Ten Devils, the Lustful Ghost, brought back two girls—Yunzai and Honglu—from a brothel and harassed them.

Gu Xiang arrived and gave him a severe beating, conveying the Chief’s order to gather the other Devils at Sanbai Manor by Tai Lake. Zhou Zishu and Zhang Chengling traveled under harsh conditions, resting by a lakeside at night. Zhou Zishu caught and grilled fish, but it was barely edible. Gu Xiang arrived and teased him. Wen Kexing came by flower boat, accompanied by Yunzai and Honglu for drinking and entertainment, which Gu Xiang disapproved of.

Wen Kexing recognized Zhou Zishu's sword as identical to that of Qin Huaizhang from Four Seasons Manor and pressed him for answers. Zhou Zishu refused and sarcastically retorted. Suddenly, a piercing zither sound came from deep in the forest, shaking even the flames. Yunzai and Honglu, affected by the music, fell into the water but were rescued by Gu Xiang. Zhang Chengling felt dizzy and unsteady, and Gu Xiang protected him.

Zhou Zishu picked up Wen Kexing’s flute and played to counter the zither. The zither was eventually overwhelmed, and the player was severely injured and fled. Wen Kexing recognized the sound as that of Qin Song, one of Scorpion King's four top assassins, known as the Enchanting Melody. Zhang Chengling felt sick and vomited. Zhou Zishu scolded him for poor internal training and being susceptible to demonic sounds.

Zhang Chengling admitted he hadn’t learned martial arts and knelt to become Zhou Zishu's disciple. Zhou Zishu refused, citing that at fourteen he had missed the optimal time for training but agreed to teach him basic self-defense. Enchanting Melody Qin Song staggered back and complained to fellow assassins Golden-Haired Jiang Guai, Pretty Arhat, and Poison Bodhisattva. Pretty Arhat wanted to take revenge, but Jiang Guai urged him not to complicate matters and to report back first.

Zhou Zishu taught Zhang Chengling inner cultivation methods. Wen Kexing played the flute all night to aid their recovery. Gu Xiang scolded Wen Kexing for exhausting himself for Zhou Zishu, but Wen Kexing didn’t mind. By morning, Zhou Zishu's internal energy was fully restored, and he felt refreshed. Wen Kexing had stayed nearby all night, playing the flute. Zhang Chengling also felt invigorated and again asked Zhou Zishu to take him as a disciple.

Zhou Zishu planned to drop him off at Sanbai Manor and be done. Wen Kexing suggested Zhang Chengling pester Zhou Zishu to stay. As they continued traveling, Wen Kexing, claiming Gu Xiang kicked him off the boat, insisted on coming along. Zhou Zishu made him drive the carriage. Wen Kexing drove them swiftly to Huzhou. Zhang Chengling again asked to become Zhou Zishu’s disciple, but Zhou Zishu was determined to hand him over to Zhao Jing.

Tao Hongpo and Green Willow Elder relentlessly pursued Ao Laizi for the Glazed Armor, forcing him into battle. Shen Shen soon arrived to help. Zhou Zishu and Wen Kexing escorted Zhang Chengling to Sanbai Manor and handed him over to Zhao Jing, who expressed his gratitude for their help. At that moment, Taishan Sect disciple Qinghua rushed in to seek Zhao Jing’s aid in rescuing Ao Laizi and the others.
