Yan Hui jumped into the Black River, and Ling Xiao thought that she was doomed this time. He returned to the Chenxing Mountain with a heavy heart. Zhou Zichen led the disciples to report to Ling Xiao, accusing Ling Fei of abusing her position as an elder of the Discipline Hall and using private punishment due to personal grievances, which led to Yan Hui's unfortunate death. Ling Fei arrogantly believed that she was protected by Su Ying and showed no remorse. She not only insulted Yan Hui and Tian Yao, considering Yan Hui deserved to die, but also took pleasure in killing her. Ling Xiao was enraged and stripped Ling Fei of her elder status, ordering her to be given fifty lashes. Ling Fei, unwilling to accept Ling Xiao's favoritism towards Yan Hui, even in death, resisted with her dark aura. Ling Xiao directly attacked Ling Fei and disabled her spiritual sea, rendering her unable to cultivate for the rest of her life. Ling Xiao originally planned to imprison Ling Fei in the Locking Demon Tower for eternity, but Su Ying suddenly appeared and took Ling Fei away. From then on, there was no longer an alliance between Guang Han Men and Chenxing Mountain, which pleased Fu Yin.

On that day, Ling Xiao sensed unusual activity in the Hand-Plucking Starry Sky Formation. He went up to investigate and recognized Qing Guang's voice, realizing that it was Fu Yin. He learned that Qing Guang Zhenren had been consumed by Fu Yin, leaving only an empty shell. Ling Xiao regretted falling for the trap and destroying the Protective Scale, which was meant to restrain Fu Yin. Fu Yin attempted to break free from the Hand-Plucking Starry Sky Formation but found that Su Ying still had the power to restrain him, so he had to temporarily suppress his actions. However, the day to break the seal was approaching.

Su Ying accidentally heard that many people had recently gone missing in Guang Han Men and suspected that it was related to Ling Fei. She went to find Ling Fei. Ling Fei was very concerned about the scars on her face caused by Tian Yao. She believed that Ling Xiao had expelled her from Chenxing Mountain because of her scars and held a deep grudge. She continuously sacrificed members of Guang Han Men to Fu Yin in an attempt to remove the scars, but despite sacrificing many people, the scars on her face remained, causing her impatience. Fu Yin manipulated Ling Fei, urging her to make more sacrifices to help him break free from the Hand-Plucking Starry Sky Formation. He promised that Ling Fei could have anything she desired once he was free. Su Ying found Ling Fei and advised her to expel the dark aura from her body. Ling Fei agreed superficially but did not truly intend to do so.

At the bank of the Black River, Yan Hui's friends from Qingqiu were mourning for her. Suddenly, the calm surface of the Black River stirred. It turned out that when Yan Hui jumped into the river, she didn't die. She had already memorized the Dark Underworld Scriptures and unexpectedly discovered that the bottom of the Black River was an excellent place to cultivate the dark aura. Despite being on the verge of death, Yan Hui gradually recovered her strength by practicing the Dark Underworld Scriptures, going from lying down to sitting up. The momentum of her cultivation grew stronger and stronger, with the dark aura surging into the depths of the water, astonishing the Qingqiu group. Huan Xiaoyan speculated that it was Yan Hui causing the commotion, and indeed, Yan Hui's cultivation with the Dark Underworld Scriptures advanced greatly. As soon as she emerged from the Black River, she rushed to the San Chong Mountain.

In the Dragon Tendon Formation, Tian Yao had been trapped for three days, and his aura was about to dissipate. Yan Hui forcefully broke the Slashing Heaven Formation with her immense power and took out the Dragon Tendon to merge it into Tian Yao's body. However, Tian Yao's disappearance was inevitable, and he turned into a dragon egg in Yan Hui's hands. Yan Hui knew that Chen Yi was knowledgeable and immediately rushed to Qingqiu. She learned that there was still a glimmer of life within the dragon egg. If she could gather the Dragon Consciousness within seven days, there might be a chance for Tian Yao's revival. She hurried to the Yuanyin Platform because that was where the Life Exchange Curse was performed, and Tian Yao's Dragon Consciousness should be scattered there. When Yan Hui appeared in Chenxing Mountain, Zhou Zichen was pleasantly surprised. As she arrived at the Yuanyin Platform, the disciples of Chenxing Mountain were about to draw their swords against Yan Hui, but Zhou Zichen stopped them. Yan Hui used a method to gather the spiritual consciousness scattered by Tian Yao into the dragon egg, and she was delighted to see that the egg appeared brighter. This method gave her great confidence.

Ling Xiao and Su Ying also sensed the disturbance in the Black River. Seeing the surging dark aura, they couldn't help but worry. Shortly after, the Dragon Tendon in the Slashing Heaven Formation was taken away. Su Ying suspected Yan Hui as the culprit since only she would be so desperate to save Tian Yao. However, Ling Xiao denied it, knowing that Yan Hui had jumped into the Black River long ago. Su Ying taunted Ling Xiao, suggesting that he should deal decisively with Yan Hui, who had cultivated the dark aura, just as he did with Ling Fei to maintain fairness.

Ling Xiao returned to Chenxing Mountain and confronted Yan Hui, who was surrounded by dense dark aura. Although Ling Xiao's Frost Flower Art was powerful, Yan Hui easily dispelled his attacks. This attack involved Ling Xiao, and the disciples of Chenxing Mountain blamed Yan Hui for attacking their master. But Yan Hui believed that Ling Xiao was not worthy of being her master, and she was no longer a disciple of Chenxing Mountain. She quickly left.
