Zhen Mei led a group to surround Situ Ming’s countryside courtyard. Initially, they were there to capture Wen Xiao but unexpectedly found Zhao Yuanzhou as well. Wen Zongyu mocked the Demon-Hunting Squad, saying they underestimated Chongwu Camp’s skills in tracking demons. Seeing Bai Jiu among them, Wen Zongyu instructed Bai Jiu to immediately retrieve Zhao Yuanzhou’s inner core for him. However, aware of Wen Zongyu's deceit, Bai Jiu declared he would no longer obey him.

Saying this, he took out a dagger, cut his wrist, and removed the Chongwu Camp mark from himself. Wen Zongyu, now disregarding Bai Jiu’s life, ordered his men to unleash a rain of arrows. Zhuo Yichen used his Yun Guang Sword to create a defensive barrier, while Pei Sijing fired arrows back, only to realize that Chongwu Camp soldiers were undead, demonized humans who couldn’t be killed. Zhao Yuanzhou attempted to dispel their power, but it was futile.

Wen Zongyu then took an arrow and shot it toward Wen Xiao. Zhao Yuanzhou blocked the arrow, but its tip was covered in tiny barbs. The moment he grabbed it, his hand began bleeding, successfully sealing Zhao Yuanzhou’s sense of touch. With all five senses sealed, Zhao Yuanzhou’s inner fire, fueled by the Undying Wood within him, began to burn, unleashing intense rage. Overwhelmed, he attacked Wen Zongyu, but Zhen Mei intervened to block him. Zhao Yuanzhou fled afterward.

Wen Xiao was imprisoned in the dungeon for allegedly killing the Prime Minister, while Pei Sijing was also locked up for helping Zhao Yuanzhou escape. Pei Sijing asked Wen Xiao if she was worried about Zhao Yuanzhou, fearing that if his rage took control, the world would suffer greatly. Wen Xiao replied that Zhao Yuanzhou was temporarily stable due to the power of Ying Zhao and the jade elixir he had consumed.

His conscious escape likely indicated he was still clear-minded. When Pei Sijing asked where Zhao Yuanzhou might go, Wen Xiao guessed it would be Taoyuan Residence, where Zhao Yuanzhou had set up a barrier to prevent outsiders from entering. Inside Taoyuan Residence, Zhao Yuanzhou was healing his wounds, struggling to suppress his rage.

The dark energy tempted him to plunge the world into chaos, but he firmly reminded himself of the beauty of the mortal realm and his love for Wen Xiao. Recalling their moments together, like when they brewed wine, Zhao Yuanzhou fought hard to resist his darker urges. Ying Lei tracked the scent of sulfur and soon found Ao Yin hiding in a forest.

Ao Yin took on Zhuo Yichen’s appearance and tried to strike up a conversation, but Ying Lei saw through the disguise. Zhuo Yichen and Bai Jiu arrived shortly after. Ao Yin then transformed into Ying Lei, but Zhuo Yichen also saw through it. After a chase, Ao Yin vanished, leaving Zhuo Yichen to regroup with the real Ying Lei.

Wen Xiao suspected someone was manipulating the restoration of the Bai Ze Amulet from behind the scenes, and her only lead was Wen Zongyu. However, Wen Zongyu, being only human, shouldn’t have been able to command Ao Yin. Pei Sijing suddenly remembered a female demon she had seen in Li Lun’s illusion who looked identical to Wen Xiao and seemed to be Li Lun’s subordinate.

When Li Lun had burned away, he left no inner core, leading Wen Xiao to speculate that Li Lun might not be dead. As they discussed, a jailer informed them that someone had come to see Pei Sijing. Zhuo Yichen and Ying Lei discussed how to track Ao Yin. Ying Lei mentioned he had sprinkled a special scent on Ao Yin, which could help them trace him, though they would need another plan once they found him.

Bai Jiu suggested using caowu herb to muddle Ao Yin’s mind and slow his escape. Wen Zongyu met with Pei Sijing, saying Zhen Mei’s fate was uncertain and that Chongwu Camp now needed a new general. He offered to recommend Pei Sijing for the role.

Pei Sijing accused Wen Zongyu of arrogance, but he countered that if she cooperated, she could rise to a prominent position in Chongwu Camp; if not, she would die in the dungeon and become food for a great demon. Following the scent, Ying Lei arrived at Tianxiang Pavilion, where Bai Jiu had disguised himself in adult attire. Zhuo Yichen instructed Bai Jiu not to enter, but Bai Jiu secretly followed.

The madam, noticing Zhuo Yichen’s appearance, called many of the girls to surround him. Luckily, Bai Jiu managed to handle the situation and reunited with Ying Lei. They then detected a familiar scent, confirming that the dancer was actually Ao Yin. Bai Jiu released Huansan Powder, which slowed Ao Yin’s movements. However, Ao Yin transformed into Pei Sijing and Zhao Yuanzhou to try and confuse Ying Lei. Zhuo Yichen was waiting to block the escape, and Ao Yin shifted once more into Wen Xiao, trying to distract him with her revealing attire.
