Zhu Yan encountered Chong Ming's provocation in the mountains, but she was no match for his magical powers. At a critical moment, Shi Ying appeared and saved Zhu Yan. Shi Ying couldn't stand by and watch Zhu Yan being schemed against. He couldn't tolerate those who played dirty tricks. He invited Zhu Yan to team up and go up the mountain.

Da Si Ming wanted to control the selection of the next Lesser Lord and secretly chose Shi Ying as the candidate. He believed that if Shi Ying became the emperor in the future, he would choose a daughter from the Bai family as his empress. He selected Bai Xuelu to be Shi Ying's destined partner and secretly instructed his subordinates to ensure her victory. Qing Gang's intention to become Shi Ying's disciple was fake, but his attempt to investigate Da Si Ming's identity was real. He had his subordinates send a poor mythical creature to Qing Gang. Zhu Yan was paired with Qing Gang, and even if it cost them their lives, Zhu Yan's life was more important.

Zhu Yan didn't want to go up the mountain, and she didn't want to become a disciple of the Lesser Lord. She initially wanted to bid farewell to Qing Gang and leave. However, at that moment, the poor mythical creature appeared, and the two of them were no match for it. They could only try to escape and hide in a cave. Zhu Yan mentioned that the Qing Clan was skilled in using poison and urged Qing Gang to use poison to stupefy the poor mythical creature quickly. Qing Gang took out a poison and temporarily drove away the creature, allowing them to escape.

Through an illusion, Shi Ying learned that the poor mythical creature was chasing Zhu Yan and Qing Gang. He couldn't understand how the creature knew their hiding place. Chong Ming revealed that he unexpectedly saw the two disciples signaling the poor mythical creature. Shi Ying was furious upon learning that Chong Ming had secretly interfered with Zhu Yan's selection.

Qing Gang and Zhu Yan escaped to the top of a cliff. Seeing the poor mythical creature chasing them, Zhu Yan remembered from ancient books that the creature enjoyed watching conflicts and liked cunning and evil people. She pretended to angrily scold Qing Gang as a demonic leader in the army, claiming that killing him today would be for the people's good. Zhu Yan even admitted that she had taken many lives herself. She made the creature believe that they were both villains, and it surprisingly let them go and left.

Through a magic mirror, Shi Ying discovered the manifestation of chaos, which existed before the creation of the world and was formed by accumulated resentment. Chaos was not bound by any magic system, and even the former Emperor Xingzun couldn't do anything about it. On the other hand, Qing Gang managed to evade the poor mythical creature but was then chased by chaos. Unable to bear seeing both of them devoured by chaos, Shi Ying decided to rescue them.

Zhu Yan, exhausted, was caught up by chaos. She pushed Qing Gang away but was swallowed by chaos and entered the Abyss of Wrath. Zhu Yan's mind was influenced by the Wrathful Spirit and was on the verge of falling off a cliff. However, Shi Ying appeared in the crucial moment and saved her. Shi Ying knew that the Wrathful Spirit was using Zhu Yan's resentment, so he told her not to see or hear anything. Due to the influence of the Wrathful Spirit, Zhu Yan couldn't see or hear properly. Shi Ying asked her to hold onto his sleeve and guided her to leave.

While searching for Zhu Yan, Qing Gang discovered that Bai Xueying and Bai Xuelu were attacked by the poor mythical creature. Bai Xuelu protected Bai Xueying and tried to make her leave. Qing Gang recalled how Zhu Yan drove away the creature before, but this time, it didn't work. Qing Gang secretly helped Bai Xuelu, a girl from the Bai family, and together they successfully drove away the creature.

Zhu Yan, still frightened in the Abyss of Wrath, tightly grasped Shi Ying's clothes. When Shi Ying turned to check on her, he accidentally kissed her forehead, which made him feel embarrassed. However, Zhu Yan, thinking she encountered a ghost, expressed her bewilderment. Upon hearing her reaction, Shi Ying felt helpless. After a while, Zhu Yan regained her senses and saw that the one who saved her was the Lesser Lord himself. She didn't want to accompany him and chose to leave directly.

Zhu Yan walked onto a wooden bridge but feared the greedy spirits beneath her feet. Since chaos was not bound by any magic, not even Shi Ying could use magic to leave. Soon, the greedy spirits destroyed the wooden bridge beneath Zhu Yan's feet. She had no choice but to rely on Shi Ying's jade umbrella to return to the edge of the cliff. Shi Ying explained that only the jade umbrella could function independently within chaos. By opening the jade umbrella, they could create a protective barrier against external attacks. Unexpectedly, Zhu Yan closed the jade umbrella and used it as a makeshift weapon. Zhu Yan blamed herself for damaging Shi Ying's artifact, but Shi Ying believed that although Zhu Yan had the intention to become his disciple, she couldn't even imitate how he used his artifacts, and that was what made him angry.

Shi Ying deduced that people's hopes, trust, and joy could regenerate the Bridge of the Heart, allowing them to cross to the other side. On the contrary, people's suspicions, doubts, and lies would damage the Bridge of the Heart. Shi Ying asked Zhu Yan to think of some happy things to regenerate the bridge and enable them to reach the other side. Zhu Yan recalled the happy moments of her childhood when the Crown Prince gave her the gift of Xue Han Wei and when her father, the king, agreed to let her learn magic upon hearing the Crown Prince's words. These memories regenerated the Bridge of the Heart. Shi Ying couldn't think of any happy moments, so he asked Zhu Yan to share her happy memories. Zhu Yan listed all the joyful things she experienced, including the encounter with the Lesser Lord on Jiuyin Mountain. She thought that event would damage the Bridge of the Heart, but it unexpectedly generated a bridge of benevolence, successfully guiding them to the other side.
