The Nine-Headed Kui Ao began to rampage, and Su Yishui led everyone out of the collapsed area. Su Yu expressed his gratitude to Xue Ranran for saving him at a critical moment, but Su Yishui reprimanded Su Yu for his lack of self-control, allowing the opportunity to be exploited. Su Yishui’s resentment grew stronger.
He was worried that the Nine-Headed Kui Ao had already entered the village, so he teamed up with a few disciples to set up the Five-Element Sword Formation. After a while, an elderly man appeared. It was none other than Old Liu, who had welcomed them when they first entered the village. Su Yishui confronted Old Liu and instructed the others to escape toward the east. They reached a room, and the Nine-Headed Kui Ao suddenly couldn't continue its attack.
Su Yishui arrived soon after but found that someone had set up a barrier here. However, the safety was only temporary, and they had to split up and quickly search for an exit. To avoid being absorbed by evil creatures, Xue Ranran suggested that everyone use aliases. Su Yishui and Su Yu argued over the matter of aliases, but it ended unresolved. Su Yishui then told Xue Ranran to search for the exit.
Xue Ranran quickly found a hidden compartment containing some of Mu Qingge's notes. The notes mentioned Ye Xin and also referred to Su Yu. The letters exchanged between the two were well-preserved. Su Yu took the opportunity to emphasize his friendship with Mu Qingge, but Su Yishui thought it was just Su Yu's one-sided affection.
Xue Ranran also teased, saying that Su Yu had already gained Mu Qingge's favor, and only Su Yishui and Su Yu knew the real identity of the princess consort. One note mentioned that Mu Qingge liked sour plums. Xue Ranran recalled a time when she offered Mu Qingge sour plums, but Mu Qingge had clearly said she never ate sour food.
According to the notes, Mu Qingge was a very interesting immortal, but the reborn princess consort's personality was vastly different. Xue Ranran was pondering alone in the courtyard when Su Yu, following her, tried to find an opportunity to accompany her. Xue Ranran mentioned her idea of opening a restaurant in the capital, and Su Yu hurriedly promised to arrange everything. Just then, Su Yishui arrived beside them and was displeased upon hearing Xue Ranran's decision.
Suddenly, a woman appeared in the courtyard. Su Yishui noticed that her scent was similar to that of Old Liu. The woman introduced herself as Meng Zhang, a green dragon from Dragon Island who shared a body with Old Liu. Ten years ago, Meng Zhang met and fell in love with Liu Lang during an operation. Afterward, she lost a dragon egg and was devoured by the spiritual spring.
To save her, Liu Lang split his soul in half and used the Seven Evil Transformation Spell to help her be reborn. The spiritual spring, however, hid itself in the Nine-Headed Kui Ao, which then continuously absorbed the souls of the living to nourish the spring. To disrupt the formation, they needed to find the Kui Ao’s body.
Meng Zhang said she knew where the Kui Ao was hiding but asked Su Yishui to agree to two conditions: first, not to blame Liu Lang, and second, to help her recover the dragon egg. She also required a soul oath. Following the map given by Meng Zhang, Su Yishui and his group arrived at an underground dark realm.
Old Liu suddenly appeared, and Su Yishui engaged him alone to hold him off, allowing his disciples to descend into the dark realm to slay the Kui Ao. After briefly confronting Old Liu and injuring him, Su Yishui hurried down to help. Xue Ranran had approached the Soul Stone. When Su Yishui arrived, he saw the Qingming Sword suddenly fall into Xue Ranran's hand. The sword acknowledged her as its master.
Holding the sword, Xue Ranran used the Star River Breaking Technique to destroy the Nine-Headed Kui Ao. Su Yu was further convinced that Xue Ranran was the reincarnation of Mu Qingge. Su Yishui also realized that Mu Qingge had left the Qingming Sword here to suppress the spiritual spring. With the Nine-Headed Kui Ao destroyed, the souls that had been absorbed would gradually return to their bodies.
Su Yishui felt a dull pain inside his body and realized that the spiritual spring had always been within him. He ordered Qiu Xier and Gao Cang to keep watch over Old Liu and sent Su Yu away, leaving only Xue Ranran. There, he saw the curse seal that Mu Qingge had set using her Golden Core.
Suddenly, Su Yishui felt a sharp pain in his chest, and the spiritual spring leaped out of the curse seal, wrapping around him and constantly tempting him to merge with it and control the world, offering him everything he desired. Su Yishui struggled to resist but eventually forced the spring back into the curse seal. Xue Ranran took out a talisman and sealed it again. When they exited the dark realm, the villagers had all been safely settled.
Old Liu was nearly driven mad and desperately tried to leave behind the Seven Evil Transformation Spell. As the talisman disappeared, Meng Zhang appeared before them, urging Old Liu to stop being so stubborn. She said that she was content with seeing him one last time and, with those words, vanished into nothingness.
