Wei Yanei noticed that Xue Ying was practicing his sword in the courtyard and knew that he must be troubled, so he brought him a burnt pancake to console him. Pei Jing went to bring food to Wang Kuan and found him sewing, saying he was preparing cushions to put on the saddles to avoid headaches. Pei Jing was surprised that Wang Kuan, a scholar, could do needlework. Wang Kuan told Pei Jing that something was amiss with Lu Nanshan's words, and they must be cautious during the upcoming operation. Lu Nanshan had initially said that the selection was for the entire seventh chamber, but at first, only Zhao Jian had come to find Ning Lingge. They all came on their own, so why did Lu Nanshan want Zhao Jian to keep it a secret from them? Wang Kuan felt that Lu Nanshan harbored murderous intent, but he didn't know who his target was.

Liang Maixiang came to spar with Xue Ying, and among this group, Xue Ying had the most powerful skills. Liang Maixiang was also strong, and they had a satisfying exchange. Wei Yanei was curious about Liang Maixiang's reason for wanting to kill Yuan Hao. Liang Maixiang explained that the Great Xia initially had twelve military commanders, two more than people now know. Among the Xia people, the Yeli brothers were in charge of the Left and Right Xiang Monitors, and Yeli Yuqi was known as the Great King of Heaven in Xia. However, Yuan Hao killed them, and they sought revenge not only for self-preservation but also because Yeli Yuqi had a debt of gratitude to Liang Maixiang's father.

Yuan Hao set off to Helan Mountain for a sacrificial ceremony and met with Ning Lingge. Father and son had not seen each other for a long time and felt distant. Ning Lingge had disappeared for a while after entering the territory of the Great Song, and Yuan Hao was not worried at all. Ning Lingge's words had another layer of meaning.

The seventh chamber and Liang Maixiang's group set out and arrived at Helan Mountain, where they saw many old and young people coming for the sacrifice, but there were no adult men. Liang Maixiang said that most of the men had died in battle, and they no longer wanted to continue the war. Zhao Jian empathized with this sentiment, and Yuan Hao deserved to pay the price. At the main sacrificial ceremony, they could see the full view of the altar from halfway up the mountain. Before Liang Maixiang could explain her plan involving Ning Lingge, Yuan Zhongxin had already figured it out - only dead people could get close to Yuan Hao.

Not far away was the female enclosure, where naked female corpses were left for birds and beasts to consume, and after three years, the remaining bones would be taken down and burned. Liang Maixiang said that the female enclosure in the deep mountains was for holding funerals for the soldiers who sacrificed themselves on the battlefield. Their loved ones would die with them and be buried above the female enclosure. The female enclosure was their best hiding place, but there was still one problem with this plan - an escape route. Even if Yuan Hao went up the altar, his trusted followers would definitely be lying in ambush nearby. Even if they killed Yuan Hao, they would have no way to leave alive. Ning Lingge never intended for them to live; the seventh chamber had already thought of this. Liang Maixiang said they had one way to survive, and Yuan Zhongxin had already thought of it too - coordinating inside and outside, finding guards to create an opportunity. Although Liang Maixiang was disappointed, she still decided to help the seventh chamber. The reason was simple: Ning Lingge might be the next Yuan Hao, and they couldn't let their guard down.

Lu Nanshan was very concerned about the assassination environment. The seventh chamber knew he couldn't be trusted, but the assassination had to go ahead. Zhao Jian and Yuan Zhongxin hid among the bones and were the first to launch a surprise attack on Yuan Hao. Xue Ying and Wei Yanei observed the situation from the female enclosure. Wang Kuan and Pei Jing disguised themselves as guards, ready to capture everyone if the assassination failed. On the day of the assassination, Yuan Hao's sedan appeared near the altar. Wei Yanei and Xue Ying observed the surroundings from the female enclosure when suddenly they seemed to hear a woman's voice. Wei Yanei worried about whether they could leave alive.

Yuan Hao was finally going up the altar, and just as Xue Ying was about to look down at the nearby female corpse, a person crawled out from inside - it was Chu Niao from the eighth chamber. Others from the eighth chamber were also here on a mission, and their target was also Yuan Hao. But Chu Niao said they couldn't kill Yuan Hao. Ning Lingge greedily scanned the surroundings, and he had been waiting for this day. Zhao Jian and Yuan Zhongxin had already launched their attack on Yuan Hao on the altar, but the people below did not go up to rescue him because they were confident. Both Yuan Zhongxin and Zhao Jian were unable to do anything to Yuan Hao, and they were even severely injured on the spot. Xue Ying saw this and came on the scene according to the plan, but he was also no match for Yuan Hao. Just as Wei Yanei was about to go down, Chu Niao stopped him, and Pei Jing and Wang Kuan were also discovered. Yuan Hao didn't kill them, instead taunting Yuan Zhongxin for being inferior to his brother. Yuan Zhongxin's expression changed, and only then did Ning Lingge realize that Wang Kuan and Pei Jing were missing.

The outcome on the altar was undecided, and Pei Jing and Wang Kuan were brought here by Liang Maixiang's people. Unexpectedly, it was Lu Nanshan's plan, claiming he was protecting them. Lu Nanshan said this was a test for the seventh chamber - would Yuan Hao kill them? Lu Nanshan believed that someone in the seventh chamber had defected to the Western Xia, but at least he believed in Wang Kuan. However, Wang Kuan didn't trust him. Lu Nanshan's protection was also for the sake of his father. Yuan Hao defeated Yuan Zhongxin and the others and then asked Ning Lingge if he knew them. Ning Lingge answered that he didn't know them, so Yuan Hao ordered him to take the three captives away and find out who was behind the plot. Wei Yanei wanted Chu Niao to help rescue them, but Chu Niao pointed to the sky, saying there were more people who hadn't appeared yet. Soon, a group of birds that looked like the monsters depicted in murals appeared in the sky. The Great Xia called them the Shepherd Gods and regarded them as divine beings.

In Yuan Hao's camp, Ning Lingge also thought the Shepherd Gods might be fake. During the sacrificial ceremony, the divine beings appeared, and Yuan Hao's identity would then be legitimate. Chu Niao and Wei Yanei didn't go down until it was dark, and they saw someone near the Shepherd Gods - it was Wen Wuqi.
