• Deng Boyong knocked at Wei Fan's door and said he had a matter to report.

Wei Fan joined Deng Boyong in transferring three powerful prisoners from the Su City great prison to Tongzhou, discovering that their identities were so sensitive they could not simply be executed. After forcing two prisoners to drink sedatives and resisting Red Sand’s provocation, Wei Fan left with the convoy, keeping the prisoners alive for the journey.

After learning that the Prime Minister had delayed action against Fu Shizheng and targeted Tongzhou Commander Pei Shinan, Wei Fan took his companions to Heavenly Fragrance Tower, where he exposed and killed the disguised fox demon Xiangxiang. He learned the demon’s Soul Guiding Art could fool demon-identifying methods and wondered whether he could use it to infiltrate the demons.

• You Qingfeng told Wei Fan that the Prime Minister had interfered in the Fu Shizheng betrayal case because Pei Shinan had helped Tang Xiao, the child of the Prime Minister’s political rival, return safely to the capital.
