Zhao Yuanzhou and Wen Xiao followed the Chongwu Camp soldiers, only to discover upon their turn that it was Li Lun, the murderer of Zhao Waner. Li Lun shook a rattle drum, revealing Zhao Yuanzhou's thousand-year true form. Wen Xiao was also gravely injured in the confrontation. Outside the Qi Manor, Bai Jiu ambushed the path to intercept the Chongwu soldiers.

When they arrived, he confronted them, but they calmly declared they had lured the Demon Investigation team there on purpose. Just as they spoke, Zhuo Yichen and Pei Sijing arrived, confirming that Master Qi had lied. A fierce battle broke out, but Zhuo Yichen and Pei Sijing quickly defeated the soldiers with their skills. Li Lun spoke to Zhao Yuanzhou about trivial past matters, and Wen Xiao suspected he was stalling.

Zhao Yuanzhou realized that since receiving the information from the Qi Manor, every move they’d made had been guided. Li Lun tempted Zhao Yuanzhou to save Zhuo Yichen and the others, leaving Wen Xiao behind, but Zhao Yuanzhou affirmed his commitment to live and die alongside Wen Xiao. After Zhuo Yichen subdued the Chongwu soldiers, they mysteriously rose again as if healed, completely uninjured.

Bai Jiu discovered a talisman on one soldier’s back, and Zhuo Yichen identified it as written in Xing Tian's blood, granting them an immortal body. Realizing this, they removed each talisman one by one, narrowly escaping the threat. Wen Xiao, seeking revenge for her master, intended to kill Li Lun, but as a mortal without divine power, it was a futile pursuit.

Zhao Yuanzhou knew Wen Xiao's body couldn’t withstand the prolonged activation of her True Eye, so he closed it for her. Wen Xiao then threw hallucinogenic powder at Li Lun and hurriedly pulled Zhao Yuanzhou away. They later regrouped with Zhuo Yichen, and Bai Jiu had already dressed Zhuo Yichen’s wounds. Despite his initial intentions to quit, Bai Jiu had grown increasingly respectful of Zhuo Yichen.

Zhao Yuanzhou, noticing a scar on Zhuo Yichen’s hand, used his powers to heal it instantly, hoping to shift Bai Jiu’s admiration toward himself. However, Bai Jiu, oblivious, still looked up to Zhuo Yichen. Zhao Yuanzhou then used his powers to enlarge Bai Jiu’s medicine chest, resembling a whole pharmacy. He could shrink it with a bell chime, yet Bai Jiu only remarked that they were equally matched.

Wen Xiao advised Zhuo Yichen not to be reckless in future fights, sparing himself from unnecessary injuries. Zhao Yuanzhou, noticing their mutual concern, teased them while teaching Zhuo Yichen the Bingyi Tribe’s blood-coagulation technique for healing. Wen Xiao, who had read extensively on demonology, hadn’t heard of the technique, prompting a few mocking comments from Zhao Yuanzhou.

As the healing ended, Wen Xiao inadvertently mentioned Li Lun, and Zhao Yuanzhou explained that Li Lun was a huai demon capable of possessing anyone. Due to past grievances with him, Li Lun joined the Demon Investigation Bureau to prevent Li Lun’s schemes. During their conversation, someone reported that General Wu Yan had been murdered and that Chongwu Camp framed the Demon Investigation Bureau.

Furious, Zhuo Yichen protested that Wu Yan was clearly killed by a demon, yet the Demon Investigation Bureau bore the blame. Fortunately, the Prime Minister had negotiated a one-day reprieve. If they failed to solve the Water Ghost case by the next day, the entire Bureau would be held accountable. They could no longer wait for the scheduled wedding of Master Qi’s daughter and had to start with the Qi lady who had received the Water Ghost’s marriage proposal.

However, Pei Sijing reported that she had suddenly disappeared. Zhao Yuanzhou suggested investigating Master Qi again and proposed using his powers to track the Qi lady’s whereabouts. Zhao Yuanzhou met with Ran Yi, while Pei Sijing used demon-tracking techniques to follow. When Zhao Yuanzhou noticed her, he was displeased but agreed to let Ran Yi use his dream-control technique.

In the dream, Pei Sijing saw her younger brother, Wen Xiao witnessed her master’s dying moments, while only Zhuo Yichen remained unaffected by the illusion.
