After Li Lun left, Zhao Yuanzhou noticed that the wooden box held by two guards was glowing. As he approached, the flames instantly entered his body. Later, when he found Li Lun, he saw that Li Lun had killed many innocent villagers, so he pushed Li Lun away. Unexpectedly, the power of the true fire he had just absorbed was so strong that it nearly injured Li Lun.

This marked the beginning of the divide between them, with Zhao Yuanzhou abandoning his oath to protect the Wilderness. What Li Lun couldn’t understand even more was that Zhao Yuanzhou treated several mortals as friends. Zhao Yuanzhou then described each member of the Demon-Hunting Squad’s virtues, which made Li Lun deeply jealous. Li Lun declared that he would kill them, leaving Zhao Yuanzhou as desolate as himself.

With that, he grasped Bai Jiu’s head, causing Bai Jiu’s eyes to fill with blood and his entire demeanor to become agitated. When Bai Jiu reached toward the iron cage, it cracked open. Li Lun noticed a divine power within Bai Jiu, allowing Zhao Yuanzhou to escape the cage. Zhuo Yichen and Pei Sijing arrived just then. Zhao Yuanzhou handed the weakened Bai Jiu to them, telling Zhuo Yichen to take Bai Jiu away first.

Pei Sijing took out the Mountain God’s Boundary to prepare a spell, but Zhuo Yichen suddenly moved toward Zhao Yuanzhou, leaving only Pei Sijing to bring Bai Jiu to Kunlun’s gate. Li Lun cleared away the mist, revealing Wen Xiao suspended in midair, one arm covered in blood. Li Lun had previously tried to drain Wen Xiao’s blood to reduce the divine power of Bai Ze. Now, he again forced Zhao Yuanzhou to choose between Wen Xiao and Zhuo Yichen.

Zhao Yuanzhou immediately attacked Li Lun with his umbrella, with Zhuo Yichen providing support. Li Lun’s powers were formidable, so Zhao Yuanzhou cut his own palm with a dagger, using the blood, tainted with wrath, to strike Li Lun. Li Lun felt despair over Zhao Yuanzhou’s devotion to humans. Nearby, Wen Xiao found Li Lun’s rattle and smashed it, instantly dissipating his powers and reigniting the Undying Wood fire within him.

Zhao Yuanzhou told Li Lun that when he was sealed in the Wilderness, although Zhao Waner intended to punish him, she also hoped to use the Bai Ze Amulet to reduce the power of the Undying Wood and lessen Li Lun’s pain. But Li Lun only wanted to break the seal, and now, as he burned with the Undying Wood’s flames, Zhao Yuanzhou felt guilt.

Although he never intended to harm Li Lun with the Undying Wood, he couldn’t shirk responsibility. Watching Li Lun burn away, tears streamed down Zhao Yuanzhou’s face. Wen Xiao collected Yao Water tainted with her own blood to restore the Bai Ze Amulet, but Li Lun had deliberately damaged the purity of the Yao Water. They still needed to find the Divine Wood, and Zhao Yuanzhou promised to find it within a month.

If he failed, he asked Zhuo Yichen to kill him. Wen Xiao reminded him that he now bore a great responsibility and shouldn’t be so quick to mention death. When they returned to Kunlun’s gate, they found that Zhen Mei of the Chongwu Camp and Fan Ying of the Demon-Hunting Division had already gathered people, intending to capture Zhao Yuanzhou. Wen Xiao asked Pei Sijing, representing the Prime Minister’s authority, to make the decision.

Pei Sijing immediately declared that Zhao Yuanzhou be handed over to the Chongwu Camp. Wen Xiao was shocked, and Zhuo Yichen grew worried, but Zhao Yuanzhou merely smiled and told them not to worry. Bai Jiu received a letter from his father, Lord Situ, instructing him to return to Tiandu immediately, as he would reveal the mystery of Bai Jiu’s origins. While guarding Kunlun’s gate, Ying Lei was joined by Lord Lu Wu, who came to assist.

Ying Lei realized that his grandfather had foreseen everything and requested Lu Wu’s help to find a way to purify the Yao Water. After Zhao Yuanzhou was imprisoned in the Chongwu Camp, the Prime Minister issued an order to execute him swiftly, specifically requesting that Zhuo Yichen carry out the sentence with the Yun Guang Sword. Zhuo Yichen argued that with the Bai Ze Amulet damaged, peace between humans and demons was at stake, making Zhao Yuanzhou indispensable.

But Fan Ying remained resolute, insisting that they follow the Prime Minister’s orders. Wen Xiao rebuked Fan Ying for distorting the truth and declared her intent to explain everything directly to the Prime Minister. She then rushed into the street, lying seductively in a white gauze dress in the middle of the road to block the Prime Minister’s carriage. Meanwhile, Pei Sijing was guarding the Chongwu Camp’s prison.

Zhao Yuanzhou told her that the time had come to close the net. Pei Sijing then used a dagger to unlock the iron chains and freed Zhao Yuanzhou. It turned out that Zhao Yuanzhou had suspected her during her first secret meeting with Zhen Mei. After discovering that Zhen Mei was controlling her with the promise of reuniting her with Pei Siheng, Zhao Yuanzhou had used a spell to allow Pei Siheng’s spirit to remain.

In gratitude, Pei Sijing continued pretending to act as a spy within the Chongwu Camp, helping Zhao Yuanzhou uncover the real mastermind. As Zhao Yuanzhou exited the prison, Pei Sijing explained that eight years ago, the Chongwu Camp had been capturing demons to deliver them to a mysterious military group for research. Zhao Yuanzhou recalled what he and Li Lun had seen in the Ji Xin Hall. While they were talking, a figure dressed in black suddenly appeared.

Zhao Yuanzhou immediately identified him as Wen Zongyu. Eight years ago, Ji Xin Hall was operated by Wen Zongyu, and just days ago, Zhuo Yichen was captured after Wen Zongyu left Sinan Water Town. Wen Zongyu no longer concealed his identity, removing his mask and admitting to everything. He revealed that his true goal was to obtain Zhao Yuanzhou’s inner core, stating that if the five senses were sealed, the inner core would naturally leave the body.
