Feng Lixue deliberately approached Mo Xiao and exposed his act of pretending to be poisoned. His true goal was just to get the antidote. Mo Xiao told Feng Lixue that everything she saw was real—though the poisoning was fake, his desire to be with her was genuine. Feng Lixue shed tears, unable to understand why Mo Xiao would do this, when she had once wanted to kill him.

Mo Xiao was helpless; he didn’t want to become enemies with Feng Lixue either, but they stood on opposite sides. He wanted to save those people, and Feng Lixue was among them—even if it meant dying, he would still do it. Feng Lixue reminded Mo Xiao that the place where the antidote was kept was extremely dangerous, but Mo Xiao insisted on going, even if it cost him his life. Feng Lixue’s tears fell—she had never seen someone so foolish.

Mo Xiao arrived at the place where the antidote was kept. There was a barrier called the Sea of Ten Thousand Red Dusts, and to see the woman on the other side, one had to cross it. If there was love in one’s heart, it would bring soul-piercing pain. Yet Mo Xiao stepped in without hesitation. Floating on the lake’s surface were all his past memories with Wu Chen.

The pain intensified with every feeling of love, making it almost impossible for Mo Xiao to move. Tears welled up in his eyes as Feng Lixue stood behind him, witnessing everything. The woman in red warned again that if love lingered in his heart, he would be dragged into the sea of red dust. Mo Xiao could no longer walk and had to crawl forward on his hands.

Visions of Wu Chen pleading with him to take her away appeared before him. Mo Xiao forced himself to stand, still enduring excruciating pain underfoot, but used his willpower to abandon all emotions and desires. Moved by this, the woman in red agreed to give him what he wanted. Mo Xiao requested the antidote to the Love and Desire poison, and the woman handed it to him with a wave of her hand. Feng Lixue silently turned and walked away.

Murong Changfeng arranged for some people to be escorted out first while he took others to confront the demon lord for the antidote. Meanwhile, Mo Xiao placed the antidote on the Stone of Desire, instantly curing everyone in the Valley of Love and Desire. When Murong Jing woke up, she blushed at the memory of her earlier behavior toward Xie Lingyun.

Murong Changfeng led Xie Lingyun and Murong Ce to confront Chong Guang, warning that if he didn’t abandon his ambitions, they would eliminate him. He demanded that Chong Guang hand over the antidote. Chong Guang was unfazed by the threat and reminded Murong Changfeng that Mo Xiao was still in his hands. But just then, Changming arrived to report that Mo Xiao had already obtained the antidote.

As he finished speaking, Mo Xiao appeared behind everyone, making Chong Guang realize that Feng Lixue had kept the truth from him and had helped Mo Xiao succeed. Mo Xiao instructed Murong Changfeng to lead everyone away while he faced Chong Guang alone. Chong Guang tried to win Mo Xiao over, suggesting they join forces to dominate the three realms, and noted that everyone had willingly served him—including Feng Lixue, and potentially the future Mo Xiao as well.

Mo Xiao flew into a rage upon hearing this and attacked Chong Guang with his sword. Murong Changfeng told Xie Lingyun to send news of the situation back to Kunlun Ruins. When Zi Su woke up, she was so embarrassed by her earlier actions that she wished she could disappear. Just as Mo Xiao and Chong Guang were engaged in battle, Feng Lixue suddenly arrived. Mo Xiao was briefly distracted upon seeing her and coughed up blood.

Feng Lixue pulled him down with her Phoenix Feather Chain, reminding him that since he had already rescued the people of Kunlun Ruins, he should leave quickly. But Mo Xiao insisted she leave with him. He believed that the events of the past had other causes. Feng Lixue said she would investigate, but it had nothing to do with Mo Xiao. She had begun to believe him, but then realized he had deceived her again.

Mo Xiao cried, saying that the greater cause left him no choice. Without the pretense of the poison, he wouldn’t have been able to say those words—but everything he said was from his heart. Feng Lixue didn’t want to listen any further and flew away. Some imprisoned people from Kunlun Ruins began to transform into demons because the antidote hadn’t taken effect. When Senior Brother Lu led a group to rescue them, he was terrified and dared not move forward.

Zi Su worried that her grave mistake would cause Mo Xiao to drive her away. Zi Mu told her that there was nothing wrong with liking Mo Xiao—she herself also liked him, though it was beyond romantic affection. She simply wanted to support him in becoming the leader of the Immortal Sect. She understood everything clearly and believed Mo Xiao would not blame Zi Su for this. What Zi Su needed to overcome was her own mental hurdle.

Just then, Zi Feng came to tell them that Mo Xiao had returned injured. While Zi Su was checking Mo Xiao’s pulse, Murong Changfeng rushed in, blaming Mo Xiao for not killing Feng Lixue. Mo Xiao argued that Feng Lixue was not a member of the demon cult—she was only holding on to resentment over her father’s death. As long as the truth could be uncovered, their conflict wouldn’t have to escalate.

Murong Changfeng had no choice but to let Mo Xiao explain it himself to Yuan Beichen. Mo Xiao actually felt like he was Feng Lixue’s fated disaster—every time they met, he brought her calamity. This time too, it was thanks to Feng Lixue that he managed to get the antidote. Zi Ying saw Chong Guang healing himself and came to report that Feng Lixue wanted to see him.

Chong Guang threw her out and ordered that no one be allowed in without his permission. Then, Chong Guang personally went to find Feng Lixue. Feng Lixue explained that she hadn’t realized Mo Xiao’s poisoning was fake, but Chong Guang said he had seen hatred in her eyes ten years ago, which was why she was worthy to be his only disciple. Feng Lixue suddenly asked why he had saved her back then—was he also on the mountaintop?

Chong Guang gripped her shoulders hard, causing her great pain, and she expressed her loyalty to him—her life belonged to Chong Guang. Chong Guang then asked, “What about your heart? ”Just then, another Chong Guang appeared in the mirror and beckoned to Feng Lixue. She stepped inside, finding herself surrounded by water. Chong Guang, hidden in the darkness, told her to look at who she truly longed for. Suddenly, Mo Xiao’s face appeared. He smiled and walked toward Feng Lixue, who was horrified and shouted at him to leave quickly.
