Possessing Bai Jiu's body, Li Lun entered the dungeon and found it filled with demon corpses marked with talismans, causing a burning pain in his chest. Wen Zongyu, anticipating that Li Lun had discovered everything, appeared in the dungeon to boast about his achievements. He then trapped Li Lun in an iron cage, but Li Lun declared he would never be controlled and escaped by transforming into a gust of wind.

Zhuo Yichen was diagnosed with severe internal injuries, and the imperial physician could only sustain him temporarily with a golden potion. Zhao Yuanzhou explained that Zhuo Yichen was connected to the Yunguang Sword; without repairing the sword, no one could save him. Zhao Yuanzhou noted that on the day of the great chaos, the Yunguang Sword was cracked due to his own hostility, otherwise Li Lun alone would not have been able to break it.

Ying Lei began to miss Bai Jiu, thinking that if Bai Jiu were with them, he would certainly find a way to save Zhuo Yichen. Suddenly, he remembered Lu Wu, as the Kunlun Mountains held many rare treasures, one of which could surely help. With that, he called Pei Sijing to join him in traveling to Kunlun through the Shan Hai Dimension.

Lu Wu suggested that by using the Yunguang Sword to separate the parasitic essence, Zhuo Yichen could be cured, but it would require the help of an Ice Yi descendant. However, with the Yunguang Sword currently broken, it was of no use. Lu Wu then mentioned that there was a Kui Wood in the Wilderness that could restore Zhuo Yichen’s life force.

Ying Lei urged Pei Sijing to return to Tian Du to stay with Wen Xiao, while he ventured to the Wilderness alone in search of the Kui Wood. Li Lun, after being poisoned by Wen Zongyu’s needle, felt increasingly unwell, but his primary concern was still the Yunguang Sword’s repair, fearing he would be forcibly separated from Bai Jiu’s body. Meanwhile, under Wen Zongyu’s careful care, Zhen Mei had fully recovered, even more robust than before his injury.

Wen Zongyu planned to heal Zhuo Yichen, as only the Yunguang Sword could kill Zhao Yuanzhou. While unconscious, Zhuo Yichen dreamt of his older brother, who had once promised to teach him the Yunguang Sword techniques but was killed while capturing Zhao Yuanzhou and couldn’t fulfill that promise. Remembering how he later discovered the Yunguang Sword’s techniques on his own, Zhuo Yichen suddenly opened his eyes and called out for the Yunguang Sword, but soon after fell unconscious again.

A stone suddenly rose from the pool, and Zhao Yuanzhou suggested it might be the Five-Colored Stone. Since the Demon-Hunting Bureau was originally the Zhuo family’s residence, the Zhuo family must have hidden the Five-Colored Stone in a secret location. This stone had the power to repair anything, so the Yunguang Sword could finally be restored. Just as everyone was examining the Five-Colored Stone, Li Lun suddenly appeared and wrapped the stone with vines but didn’t take it.

When Wen Xiao brought the Five-Colored Stone to Zhuo Yichen’s side, it suddenly shattered. Zhao Yuanzhou realized that Li Lun’s appearance was not to steal the stone but to turn Zhuo Yichen into a demon. The Five-Colored Stone had been contaminated by the demonic energy from the vines, causing it to break on its own. Ying Lei returned from the Wilderness with the Kui Wood. After giving it to Zhuo Yichen, it could temporarily extend his life.

However, Zhao Yuanzhou stated that the Kui Wood only provided temporary relief and didn’t address the root cause. The Five-Colored Stone’s shattering was an even greater catastrophe than the Yunguang Sword’s damage, as it was the vessel that suppressed demonic blood. In ancient times, the Ice Yi clan were also demons, but after defeating Ying Long, Nuwa granted the Ice Yi clan the choice to become human.

They used the Five-Colored Stone to seal a drop of Ice Yi blood, allowing their descendants to continue to choose their paths freely. Zhao Yuanzhou analyzed that Li Lun’s demonic energy had entered Zhuo Yichen’s body, and without an inner core, he couldn’t withstand the powerful demonic energy circulating within him. The worst outcome would be his internal organs bursting, leading to death. No one wanted to see such a result.

Zhao Yuanzhou thought they could possibly visit the Ice Yi clan’s forbidden grounds to seek a cure, but the forbidden grounds were located in the harsh conditions of the Wilderness. Wen Xiao expressed her determination to go personally, regardless of the difficulty. Zhen Mei overheard their conversation at the Demon-Hunting Bureau.

After being discovered, he urged Ying Lei and Pei Sijing to take good care of Zhuo Yichen, surprising Ying Lei, as it didn’t seem like something Zhen Mei would say. Zhao Yuanzhou noticed Wen Xiao’s deep care for Zhuo Yichen and praised her. Wen Xiao explained that although she was Zhuo Yichen’s aunt, they grew up together, and Zhuo Yichen had often looked after her, especially after the Zhuo family’s troubles.

Zhuo Yichen had quickly recovered, which she had witnessed with a heavy heart. Pei Siheng joined Pei Sijing for a chat and noticed her worry for Bai Jiu, guessing that her habit of taking care of others stemmed from looking after him since they were young. He was relieved that he would no longer be hurt and could transform into armor to fight alongside his sister.
