Initially, Kou Yan disregarded Shu Yanan's advice and stubbornly engaged in actions that nearly brought disaster upon the clan. The consecutive failures have depleted Ling Yuan's resources, and supplies from various branches have been cut off. Kou Yan decided to form an alliance with Yun Tai, which could bring a glimmer of hope. Kou Yan's malicious deeds have made him somewhat uneasy, so he intentionally instigated Kou Yan to let Shu Yanan investigate the truth before making any plans. However, the journey to Yun Tai is fraught with danger, and Kou Yan naturally doesn't want to see his daughter risking her life. Therefore, he immediately led dozens of loyal warriors to embark on the journey.

At this moment, everyone in Yun Tai gathered in the main hall, awaiting the appearance of the sect leader, only to discover that it was Lord Fu. Yun Tai had a rule prohibiting any interaction with the imperial court, so when a royal prince became the sect leader, it caused everyone to have doubts in their hearts. Senior member of Yun Tai, Zhong Beidou, angrily questioned Lord Fu about his true intentions. Upon hearing that he had intentions of usurping the throne, Zhong Beidou, who had always been upright and uncompromising, immediately turned and left in a huff.

After Lord Fu announced the plan, he privately met with Yun Xiang and subtly inquired whether he would be willing to follow along. In fact, Yun Xiang had already anticipated this. When Lord Fu ordered Wen Cong's death and instructed Nangong Fang to gather the account books, it was all a ploy to lure the enemy out into the open. Cleverly, it resulted in transferring a majority of Ling Yuan's assets under the name of Yun Tai.

Due to the intricate and clever arrangement, Yun Xiang no longer appeared as confident as before, so he pretended to be pleased and genuinely convinced. Similarly, when Lord Fu heard Yun Xiang's thorough analysis of his plan, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly. This person possessed extraordinary talent, and if he could truly be used for his own purposes, even the throne of the emperor, the highest authority, would be within easy reach.

Nowadays, there is an undercurrent of turmoil within the imperial court. Many prominent officials in the southern capital have either gone missing or lost their lives, all at the hands of Lord Fu. In addition to that, Lord Fu ordered the assassination of Lord Shao in the southern capital and designated the Su family as the imperial merchants. Upon hearing this news, Liu Gonggong hastily wrote a letter to Empress Guo, unaware that there were people plotting to assassinate him from behind.

Fortunately, at a critical moment, Liu Gongquan stepped forward to save Liu Gonggong and accompanied him back to report to Empress Guo, revealing that Yun Tai's leader was actually Lord Fu in disguise. Yun Xiang particularly reminded Liu Gongquan that Lord Fu was about to take action and that he had been involved with pirates before. Strengthening maritime defense would undoubtedly be of utmost importance.

When Kou Yan arrived at Yun Tai with Shu Yanan and Kou Yuanjie, Nangong Fang personally greeted them at the entrance. As Kou Yan's identity as a disciple of Yun Tai was now revealed, he had to endure humiliation due to Lord Fu's status and power. At the alliance meeting in Yun Tai, Lord Fu persuaded Kou Yan to join the official affairs of Yun Tai, but his true intention was to leverage their influence in the maritime industry and gain control over the entire shipping business. Kou Yan had no choice but to promise loyalty to Lord Fu.

That night, Yun Xiang met with Shu Yanan and asked for her opinion on the alliance. They both agreed that they didn't want to see more suffering and casualties. Yun Xiang invited Shu Yanan to the riverside to admire the moon and feel the breeze, deliberately avoiding any mention of past events. Instead, he revealed that his long-sought enemy was Nangong Fang. He explained that Ling Yuan had the option to cooperate with Lord Fu or with him, and by doing so, they could prevent Lord Fu's rebellion.

After this period of time, Yun Xiang had fully realized his feelings for Shu Yanan. He pulled her into his embrace, and as Shu Yanan recalled the past grievances, tears streamed down her face. Eventually, the misunderstanding between them was resolved, and Shu Yanan returned to Yun Xiang's side, vowing never to leave or abandon him. The next morning, Shu Yanan took out the hairpin that Yun Xiang had given her. Kou Yan, knowing about her feelings for Yun Xiang, sincerely hoped that his daughter would find happiness.

As Kou Yan delayed making a decision on whether to form an alliance, Nangong Fang privately approached Kou Yan and instigated him to seize power by killing his mother, with the assistance of Yun Tai to secure the position of sect leader. Meanwhile, Zhong Beidou intended to take his disciples and leave Yun Tai, but unexpectedly, his most trusted disciple, Gu Yuechen, betrayed him, inflicting several fatal wounds that led to his demise.

Kang Qiao, filled with anger, intervened, and Kou Yan gradually found himself at a disadvantage. Sensing the unfavorable situation, he resorted to holding a dagger against Mo Bufan's neck, using his life as a bargaining chip, and forced Kang Qiao to surrender. Unable to bear seeing Mo Bufan harmed, Kang Qiao eventually lowered his sword. Lord Fu's followers, witnessing this, launched a surprise attack on Kang Qiao and subsequently killed him. Mo Bufan watched in despair as Kang Qiao was pierced to death by random swords. He rushed forward, embracing Kang Qiao's lifeless body in deep grief, while Nangong Fang observed the entire scene without interference until Lord Fu stepped in to stop Kou Yan from attacking Mo Bufan.
