While preparing for the summit, he found that a viral Heroic News video was already questioning whether Mo Ming Bao Bao was a demon or an immortal.

• Ye Weiming ended their stalemate by creating more than a dozen afterimages that attacked Linghu Chong from different angles.

Ye Weiming opened the Five Peaks Divine Artifact Treasure Chest and gained the divine artifact boots Ta Yue, then defeated the Agile Monkey in the Green Bamboo Secret Realm and advanced Moon Maiden Swordplay to its ultimate rank. Exhausted from the trial, he received an urgent message from Dao Mei saying their plan could no longer proceed and asking for his help.

• Dao Mei sent Ye Weiming an urgent message saying an accident had derailed their plan and that she needed his help or advice.

Dao Mei asked Ye Weiming for help obtaining the Drunken Immortal Spirit Lotus after she found Green Willow Manor burned to ruins. After reviewing his recent battles, Ye Weiming prepared three possible plans, but a system announcement about the Ming Cult’s attack on the Six Great Sects offered them a direct opportunity to pursue Zhao Min.

• Dao Mei told Ye Weiming that Dongfang Bubai had assigned her to find the Drunken Immortal Spirit Lotus at Green Willow Manor, where she discovered the manor burned and the lotus flowers destroyed.
• Ye Weiming suggested Zhao Min might have the flowers, but Dao Mei said Zhao Min was unavailable during a special mission phase.

Ye Weiming and Dao Mei planned how to search the Six Great Sects for Zhao Min and the Drunken Immortal Spirit Lotus, while Dao Mei revealed her new flying pet, Mamahaha. Ye Weiming headed to Wudang Mountain for the mission, where he met Niu Zhichun and Pencil Girl and learned that players were gathering in large numbers to form teams.

• Ye Weiming advised Dao Mei that the Ruyang Prince's Estate's experts would likely attack whichever sect players defended, so she should enlist friends at every mission site.

After the system barred them from entering early, they kept killing soldiers until the Wudang Siege Defense Battle officially started, then entered the mountain.

• Pencil explained that players had to choose a faction and fight through the Mongol blockade, but Ye Weiming declined to form a larger team and led her uphill.
• Ye Weiming killed Mongol squads while Pencil looted their corpses, and they pushed past increasingly powerful enemies and the Eight Divine Archers.
• Ye Weiming reasoned that the Mongol soldiers were meant to delay players until the scheduled start of the story, but continued farming stronger troops for better rewards.

• The Wudang Siege Defense Battle officially began, and Ye Weiming and Pencil received their quest points and considered whether to exchange them before entering the main quest.
• Pencil exchanged her rewards, and Ye Weiming led her into Wudang Mountain after finding nothing worthwhile for himself in the exchange list.
