Xie Xuechen and Fa Jian were still fighting, and Fa Jian was preparing to detonate his Golden Dan and die with them. Xie Xuechen ordered everyone to stop him, but Mu Xuanling had been controlled by Sang Qi’s demonic power. She grabbed Gao Qiuyun by the neck and lifted her up. Under Sang Qi’s control, Mu Xuanling demanded they hand over the Chaos Pearl, or she would kill Gao Qiuyun.

Mu Xuanling claimed that Fa Jian was connected to the Dark Abyss, and she asked, was Xie Xuechen not also related to the Dark Abyss? She reminded them that she had been brought back by Xie Xuechen. Everyone looked at Xie Xuechen, and he confirmed that it was true. Mu Xuanling then took out a recording stone and urged them to see what had happened ten years ago.

The recording stone showed the scene of Gao Qiuyun’s father being killed, and when they turned their gaze, they saw that Xie Xuechen had killed him. Under Sang Qi’s control, Mu Xuanling continued to explain that after Xie Xuechen killed Gao Fengxu, his father had sent him into seclusion for more than seven years to meditate. She played the recording, and Gao Qiuyun immediately hated Xie Xuechen for killing her father.

Xie Xuechen explained that he had been possessed by the Dark Abyss at the time. Some questioned whether they should trust Xie Xuechen based solely on the words of the Dark Abyss’ Holy Maiden, but Fu Yuanting argued that the recording stone could not lie. As this was happening, the disciples of Yongxue City gathered to protect the formation and resist Fa Jian, all calling out for Mu Xuanling to help them protect the formation.

Mu Xuanling, seeing familiar faces—Elder Cang, her little junior sister, and other disciples—began to regain her clarity. Meanwhile, Sang Qi realized that Mu Xuanling was no longer under his control. Xie Xuechen and Fa Jian rushed into the tower, and Mu Xuanling called out Xie Xuechen's name as she chased after them. With the Dark Abyss’ invasion dealt with, the next issue to address was Mu Xuanling’s status as the Dark Abyss’ Holy Maiden.

Su Ningzhen struck out and was about to kill Mu Xuanling, but Xie Xuechen intervened, stopping her. He argued that Mu Xuanling had not harmed anyone and had not done evil, and thus, her crime did not deserve death. Xie Xuechen suggested they imprison her in an ice cell for now and discuss her fate later. Su Ningzhen was about to argue further, but Xie Xuechen decisively said that the matter was settled, and he left.

As soon as he and Nan Xuyue returned to their room, Xie Xuechen coughed up blood and collapsed to the ground. He told Nan Xuyue not to reveal that he was injured. Xie Xuechen admitted that he feared Sang Qi might take advantage of his weakness, and Nan Xuyue remarked that he was probably more afraid of being unable to protect Mu Xuanling. Xie Xuechen, seemingly struck by the accuracy of Nan Xuyue’s words, remained silent.

Mu Xuanling sat in the ice cell, staring at a small patch of sunlight. She reached out to touch it but was burned. In her heart, she thought that she could not live like a rat in the sewers. She wanted to see the sunlight again. Determined, Mu Xuanling stood and walked toward the sunlight. Just as she stepped into the light, Xie Xuechen appeared and pulled her back.

Mu Xuanling said that her time was short and urged Xie Xuechen to kill her. She believed that only by dying would he be able to stabilize his worries and become the person who could distinguish between good and evil. Xie Xuechen embraced her, assuring her that he would not let her die. Su Ningzhen told Gao Qiuyun that Sang Qi was their enemy and urged her to hate him.

Gao Qiuyun thought Su Ningzhen’s hatred for Sang Qi seemed excessive. Su Ningzhen explained that Gao Qiuyun’s mother had been killed by Sang Qi. Gao Qiuyun was surprised, as Su Ningzhen had previously told her that her mother had died in childbirth. Su Ningzhen admitted it had been a slip of the tongue. Gao Qiuyun went to Mu Xuanling and asked if Sang Qi had killed her mother.

Mu Xuanling explained that Sang Qi had lost an arm at the time and had entered seclusion for three years, so it was unlikely that he had killed Gao Qiuyun’s mother. Mu Xuanling insisted that no matter what Su Ningzhen had told her, Sang Qi could not have killed her mother during that period. Gao Qiuyun then asked why Mu Xuanling harbored such animosity toward her.

Mu Xuanling revealed that she had been the one who died in Gao Qiuyun’s place back then. As they were arguing, Nan Xuyue arrived. When Gao Qiuyun saw him, she left. Nan Xuyue treated Mu Xuanling’s wounds and offered to take her away, but Mu Xuanling refused, saying that the path she had chosen would not change.
