Bai Baishan and the others were surprised by Xue Ranran's true identity, unsure how to interact with her in all of her different roles. Xue Ranran explained that she would always be their little junior sister and then elaborated on the dangerous situation that Su Yishui was currently facing. She warned that staying at Mount Wester would likely make them targets.
Since they urgently needed to find the Ghost Realm, the safest option was to announce their departure from Mount Wester. However, the three of them were reluctant to accept this and insisted on sharing both the hardships and joys with Su Yishui. According to the Xuantian Sect records, the Blood Moon could open the path to the Ghost Realm.
The Blood Moon appears in places of great slaughter, and Su Yishui speculated that it might be at the site of Fan Yao. Xue Ranran, lacking sufficient spiritual power, was focused on drawing talismans to avoid disaster. Su Yishui then took out a stack of golden talisman paper, which was much more effective. Concerned that Xue Ranran was recovering too slowly, Su Yishui opened up his spiritual platform, allowing them to share spiritual power.
Xue Ranran also shared the technique of the Yi Qi Breaking Star River, and the two of them practiced together to make progress. Wang Suizhi took Mu Ranwu to a courtyard in the suburbs to recuperate. Mu Ranwu realized that her cultivation was stagnating and, in response, Wang Suizhi kindly brought her a bowl of spiritual mushroom soup. However, Mu Ranwu demanded that Wang Suizhi find a millennium-old spiritual mushroom to help replenish her energy.
Several of the disciples from the capital had already betrayed and fled, leaving only a few disciples from Mount Wester with her. Mu Ranwu no longer dared to acknowledge her true identity. Wang Suizhi kindly advised Mu Ranwu to stop deceiving herself and return to the happier times of the past. However, Mu Ranwu, intoxicated by power and glory, declared that what she had once gained, she would take back.
As for Su Yu and Xue Ranran, they would both have to pay the price. Su Yu began posting notices everywhere, slandering the disciples of Mount Wester for assassination and plotting rebellion. He also spread rumors about Su Yishui's demonic son identity, intentionally drawing the attention of the Xuanmen. When Qiu Xier and the others saw the notices on the street, they nearly got discovered by the soldiers.
After returning to the inn, Su Yu warned them to use disguise techniques while heading to the Ghost Realm, but they might not be able to hide from the Xuanmen, so they would need to avoid meeting them directly. Mu Ranwu continued to pressure Wang Suizhi to find spiritual treasures. Lao Feng found Mu Ranwu and told her that if she helped Su Yu reach the Ghost Realm and meet with a great being, her spiritual power would increase exponentially.
As for the position and glory of the Empress, they would all be within reach. Following Lao Feng's request, Mu Ranwu went to the Jiuhua Sect to inform them of Su Yishui's whereabouts. Kaiyuan Immortal initially didn't believe her, but Mu Ranwu, still identifying as Mu Qingge, claimed that eighteen years ago, Su Yishui had forced her to take on the demonic son identity by threatening her with her younger sister.
Recently, Su Yishui had also controlled a Xuanmen disciple at Tianmai Mountain with resentment energy. Kaiyuan Immortal fell for the trap and immediately ordered Yan Liangyu to lead the disciples to eliminate the demonic son. The other three sects also pledged to take action together. Su Yishui and Xue Ranran arrived at the battlefield of Fan Yao and noticed that resentment energy filled the air. The spiritual springs were also responding to each other.
Su Yishui set up talismans at the location with the most resentment energy. Once the Blood Moon appeared, the Yin Tong Stone would react. Over the next few hours, Su Yishui sent his disciples to the nearby town to eat and rest. To avoid attracting the Xuanmen's attention, Yu Tong suggested they split up for the mission. Su Yishui and Xue Ranran arrived at Wuma Town, where they ate together and strolled through the market.
That evening, they heard that the Lantern Festival was in a few days, and young men and women would give lanterns to those they admired. Xue Ranran decided to make a lantern for Su Yu. The two of them went to a nearby mountain to chop some light bamboo, and Xue Ranran accidentally discovered that the bamboo forest contained primal spiritual energy. Following the spiritual energy, they found a cave, which was filled with lanterns lit by Changsheng Fire.
As Xue Ranran stroked one of the lanterns, she suddenly remembered making all the lanterns in her previous life but couldn’t recall why Su Yishui liked lanterns. Su Yishui explained that he had been lonely since childhood, but once, after entering Mount Wester, Mu Qingge had lit the path for him, and that was when he started to love lanterns. Su Yishui tightly embraced Xue Ranran, feeling that this was the happiest moment of his life.
Suddenly, the Yin Tong Stone began to glow. Su Yishui quickly informed the other disciples. When they arrived at the battlefield of Fan Yao, the Blood Moon had indeed begun to rise slowly, and the four major Xuanmen sects and Mu Ranwu appeared as well. When the barrier to the Ghost Realm appeared, Su Yishui stepped forward to try and open it. The disciples blocked the Xuanmen's attack, and the demonic aura from the Ghost Realm spread, infecting many people.
Xue Ranran reminded the disciples to hold their breath and gather their energy, and the Xuanmen elders sealed the bloodlines of all their disciples. Seeing this, Xue Ranran handed out Qingxin Pills to help them dispel the demonic influence. Wei Jiu suddenly arrived at the scene to seize the spiritual spring. The demonic power from the Ghost Realm grew stronger, and Su Yishui was sucked into the formation eye.
Xue Ranran followed closely behind and used sound transmission to ask Qiu Xier to lift the seal on the Xuanmen disciples. Only then did the elders finally believe that Su Yishui had no ill intentions.
