Both factions agreed to follow Zhao Xing’s lead in Bright Moon Prefecture, leaving Ye Yukong amazed at how quickly he had settled them.

As allies mobilized and the assassins were hunted down, Zhao Xing decided to publicize Liang King’s attempt to kill him and rally the Ministers of Agriculture against Liang King's forces.

• Zhao Xing realized his Heavenly Luck Golden List ranking likely came from his military passage numerology treatise and Derivation God Art insights, then returned to the prefectural city and informed Ye Yukong about the assassins.

After Zhao Xing’s writings prompted three major academies to mobilize against the Liang King’s forces, the Heaven Derivation King brought Zhao Xing’s true body to safety in Chongming Prefecture.
