Chapter Summaries

Ye Weiming and his companions learned how Lang Fanyun was poisoned with Love Flower Poison and why he could not simply abandon his love to cure it. With an antidote likely to take months to develop and the Yuan Mongols preparing to threaten Xiangyang, they braced for a difficult search as a storm gathered outside.

• Mu Ran suggested that Lang Fanyun suppress his feelings to stop the Love Flower Poison, but Ye Weiming explained that love was essential to Lang Fanyun's swordsmanship.
• Lang Fanyun recounted how he was pricked by a hidden Love Flower thorn while helping Zuo Shi gather spilled petals, then fought Mo Yixian, Tan Yingshou, and Shan Yuru.
• Lang Fanyun killed Tan Yingshou and Shan Yuru and drove Mo Yixian away, but the battle spread the poison into his heart meridians.
• Ye Weiming dismissed the idea that Zuo Shi had knowingly helped the plotters and told the team to focus on finding an antidote rather than investigating the flower delivery.
• Ye Weiming warned that making an antidote could take three to five months and that the Yuan Mongols would not wait before moving against Xiangyang City.

Ye Weiming fused the Ice Heart Art and Sunshine Sky into the new ultimate mental cultivation art Ice Heart Immaculate, then found that his search for Heartbreak Valley and Heartbreak Grass had stalled. After his teammates reported their failures, he decided to interrogate Yaksa, believing she might know about Heartbreak Grass and the Love Flower Poison.

• Ye Weiming assigned Xiao Qiao and Mu Ran to find Heartbreak Valley and sent Cang Xingyu to gather Heartbreak Grass.
• Ye Weiming studied Sunshine Sky, perfected it, and fused it with the Ice Heart Art into Ice Heart Immaculate.
• Ye Weiming equipped Ice Heart Immaculate, experienced its heightened perception and mental resistance, and named the new art.
• Ye Weiming searched the Divine Constable Bureau's records and found no information about Heartbreak Valley, while his teammates' investigations also produced no leads or Heartbreak Grass.
• Ye Weiming recalled Yaksa's offer of a gut-wrenching, bone-rotting poison and concluded she might know about Heartbreak Grass and the Love Flower Poison.
• Ye Weiming told his teammates to finish eating so he could interrogate Yaksa that night.

Ye Weiming obtained the Heartbreak Valley Map from Yaksa in exchange for promising not to recapture her before she committed another crime, then led three teammates into Heartbreak Valley to seek a cure for Lang Fanyun's poison. The four were immediately trapped in the valley's Fishing Net Formation and forced to challenge it.

• Ye Weiming visited Yaksa in the Divine Constable Bureau prison and asked for information about Heartbreak Valley.
• Yaksa offered Ye Weiming the Heartbreak Valley Map if he swore to release her and not have her captured again; she also revealed she knew the location of a Tianyi City branch.
• Ye Weiming accepted the map, then gathered Xiao Qiao, Mu Ran, and Cang Xingyu and traveled with them to Heartbreak Valley before dawn.
• The four entered Heartbreak Valley through a waterfall and were confronted by a group of green-clad residents.
• The residents surrounded Ye Weiming and his teammates with fishing nets, triggering the six-star hidden quest to break the Fishing Net Formation.

Ye Weiming broke Heartbreak Valley’s Fishing Net Formation without hurting anyone, then negotiated with Gongsun Zhi, who invited the group to his wedding. The team entered the hall and found several powerful Yuan Mongol figures among the guests before a familiar voice called for an aunt outside.

• Ye Weiming explained the Fishing Net Formation’s dangers, then used his Heavenly Dragon Flying Daggers to lift and spin the nets and the disciples caught in them until the formation was broken.
• Ye Weiming completed the hidden quest, confiscated the nets as quest items, and identified himself to Gongsun Zhi as a Divine Constable Bureau officer investigating a serious case.
• Gongsun Zhi apologized for his disciples’ attack and invited Ye Weiming’s group to his wedding, and Ye Weiming accepted while remaining wary of the situation.
• Ye Weiming and his teammates entered Heartbreak Valley’s main hall, where they saw the Golden Wheel Dharma King, Nian Liandan, a formidable old lama, and several Yuan Mongol experts.
• A familiar voice outside the hall called repeatedly for an aunt.

Yang Guo reunited with Xiao Longnv at Heartbreak Valley, prompting Ye Weiming to shield them from Gongsun Zhi and the Yuan Mongol experts. Just as the two sides prepared to fight, Gongsun Zhi's daughter arrived and reported that the Passion Flower Garden was burning.

• Yang Guo found Xiao Longnv at Heartbreak Valley, where she admitted she loved him despite having agreed to marry Gongsun Zhi.
• Gongsun Zhi ordered his disciples to seize Yang Guo, but Ye Weiming cut apart their fishing nets and challenged Gongsun Zhi's claim that Xiao Longnv was bound to marry him.
• Golden Wheel Dharma King and the other Yuan Mongol experts stepped forward to oppose Ye Weiming, tying Gongsun Zhi and Heartbreak Valley to their faction.
• Ye Weiming and his allies prepared to fight the Yuan Mongol experts, including Red Sun Dharma King, but both sides paused after noticing smoke.
• Gongsun Zhi's daughter rushed in and announced that the Passion Flower Garden was on fire and its Love Flowers could not be saved.

Ye Weiming investigated the fire that destroyed Heartbreak Valley’s Passion Flower Garden and discovered it was murder and arson, while Gongsun Zhi hurried off to marry Miss Liu. The Golden Wheel Dharma King’s group moved to fight Ye Weiming’s team, leaving Ye Weiming to begin the battle as Xiao Qiao engaged the Golden Wheel Dharma King.

• Gongsun Zhi and the others rushed to the burning Passion Flower Garden, where its Love Flowers had been consumed by flames.
• Ye Weiming reasoned that the fire had been deliberately spread with lamp oil and declared it a case of murder and arson.
• Ye Weiming pulled the charred body of Bu Zhongyao from the flames and learned that Xiao Bai had died in a fall from Heartbreak Cliff shortly before.
• A Heartbreak Valley disciple blamed Miss Liu for the deaths, and Gongsun Zhi tried to silence him before Ye Weiming stopped the attack.
• The Golden Wheel Dharma King offered to hold off Ye Weiming so Gongsun Zhi could proceed with his wedding, and Ye Weiming ordered Xiao Qiao to fight the Golden Wheel Dharma King.
• Ye Weiming launched an attack on the Red Sun Dharma King with his Peerless Divine Sword.

Ye Weiming and his allies fought the Yuan Mongol experts in the Passion Flower Garden until Zhou Botong arrived and helped Xiao Qiao overwhelm Golden Wheel Dharma King. Ye Weiming was blasted into the Passion Flower flames, but the chapter ended as his sword technique sent the fire surging toward Red Sun Dharma King and Nian Liandan.

• Ye Weiming fought Red Sun Dharma King and Nian Liandan while Xiao Qiao faced Golden Wheel Dharma King and Cang Xingyu and Mu Ran battled four opponents.
• Zhou Botong arrived and, after Ye Weiming warned him that the Yuan Mongols meant to harm Guo Jing, joined Xiao Qiao against Golden Wheel Dharma King.
• Ye Weiming explained to Xiao Qiao that the mission would provide reinforcements if they held out, but Nian Liandan knocked aside his sword and Red Sun Dharma King blasted him into the Passion Flower flames.
• Xiao Qiao used Love of the City to hold off Red Sun Dharma King and Nian Liandan while Zhou Botong stopped Golden Wheel Dharma King from attacking her.
• Ye Weiming sent Sword Light through the flames with Man and Sword as One and Seven-Star Rotation, directing the fire toward Red Sun Dharma King and Nian Liandan.

Ye Weiming’s trap let him and Xiao Qiao badly wound Nian Liandan and empower the Dharma Kings with the Moro Blood Curse. After Nian Liandan used True Body Descent, Ye Weiming ignored Red Sun Dharma King’s attack to kill him, and the system announced Ye Weiming’s level increase and party victory.

• Ye Weiming’s planned counterattack struck Red Sun Dharma King and sent him crashing into the other battle, while Seven-Star Rotation stabbed Nian Liandan from behind and Xiao Qiao’s Love of the City left him near death.
• Ye Weiming used the Moro Blood Curse to restore and strengthen Red Sun Dharma King and Golden Wheel Dharma King, and Zhou Botong welcomed the tougher fight.
• Red Sun Dharma King chose True Body Descent and urged Nian Liandan to do the same, while Ye Weiming engaged Red Sun Dharma King and told Xiao Qiao to finish Nian Liandan.
• Nian Liandan used True Body Descent to recover and drive Xiao Qiao back, but Ye Weiming charged him despite Red Sun Dharma King’s attack.
• Ye Weiming’s Peerless Divine Sword knocked the Mysterious Iron Sword from Nian Liandan’s hand and killed him, earning the party rewards and raising Ye Weiming to level 102.

After Nian Liandan's death, Ye Weiming stopped fighting Red Sun Dharma King to rescue Yang Guo, who had been pierced by Love Flowers and captured by Gongsun Zhi. Ye Weiming devised a plan with his teammates and confronted Gongsun Zhi, leaving the rescue and confrontation about to begin.

• Nian Liandan's death leveled up Ye Weiming and his teammates, but Red Sun Dharma King struck Ye Weiming down before the System Announcements finished.
• Ye Weiming revived and held off Red Sun Dharma King while he and his teammates planned to deal with the remaining bosses.
• Gongsun Lüe arrived and asked Ye Weiming to save Yang Guo, whom Gongsun Zhi had thrown into Love Flowers after defeating him and Xiao Longnv.
• Ye Weiming agreed to stop fighting Red Sun Dharma King, stored Nian Liandan's body, and followed Gongsun Lüe to Yang Guo.
• Ye Weiming warned his teammates that Gongsun Zhi might join the Yuan Mongol experts, then shared a plan to save Yang Guo and Xiao Longnv and seize the Jueqing Pill.
• Ye Weiming accused Gongsun Zhi of abducting and coercing a woman, then attacked him and threatened to take him to the Divine Constable Bureau.

Ye Weiming and Xiao Qiao fought the Yuan Mongol experts in Heartbreak Valley while Cang Xingyu and Mu Ran escorted Yang Guo and Xiao Longnv away. As Ye Weiming appeared trapped by the two Dharma Kings, he unleashed Jade and Stone Burn Together, leaving the outcome uncertain.

• Ye Weiming kicked Gongsun Zhi into a wall, freed Yang Guo from the Love Flowers, and helped Xiao Qiao rescue him; Xiao Longnv took Yang Guo as the Golden Wheel Dharma King confronted them.
• Ye Weiming controlled the Love Flowers with the Parting Sword Style and poisoned Gongsun Zhi, while the Yuan Mongol experts forced the group into the side hall.
• The Yuan Mongol experts attacked Ye Weiming and Xiao Qiao, while Cang Xingyu and Mu Ran led Yang Guo and Xiao Longnv away; Cang Xingyu secretly followed Gongsun Zhi as he withdrew toward his bedroom.
• The Golden Wheel Dharma King and Red Sun Dharma King overwhelmed Ye Weiming, while Xiao Qiao fought Ma Guangzuo, Xiao Xiangzi, Yin Kexi, and Nimo Xing.
• Ye Weiming pretended to sacrifice himself so Xiao Qiao could escape, then used the Golden Wheel Dharma King as a shield against the Red Sun Dharma King's palm.
• As the Red Sun Dharma King struck, Ye Weiming activated Jade and Stone Burn Together, enveloping the side hall in its destructive energy.

Ye Weiming and Xiao Qiao killed the Golden Wheel Dharma King and four other Yuan Mongol experts with a coordinated attack, while the Red Sun Dharma King escaped. After raising Sky Shaking Nine Swords to Level 10, Ye Weiming learned that Gongsun Zhi had disappeared.

• Xiao Qiao struck the escaping Ma Guangzuo, Xiao Xiangzi, Yin Kexi, and Nimo Xing with Love of the City, driving them into Ye Weiming’s Jade and Stone Burn Together, while the Red Sun Dharma King evaded the attack.
• The explosion killed the Golden Wheel Dharma King and the four other experts, and Ye Weiming gained enough Cultivation Points to reach level 103.
• The Red Sun Dharma King fled toward the valley entrance, and Xiao Qiao apologized to Ye Weiming for failing to stop him.
• Ye Weiming raised Sky Shaking Nine Swords to Level 10 and gained the Qi Break effect, which let his attacks ignore body-protecting true qi.
• Cang Xingyu told Ye Weiming that Gongsun Zhi had disappeared and he had lost track of him.

Ye Weiming tracked down the Jueqing Pill through Gongsun Lüe, only to discover it was a deadly fake and that Gongsun Zhi had escaped through Heartbreak Valley’s network of secret passages. He organized a search for Gongsun Zhi, then noticed that Mu Ran’s portrait had turned gray.

• Cang Xingyu reported that Gongsun Zhi had vanished from his room, while Yu Chi Yan Hong and Shan Xiaoxiao confirmed that he had not left through the back door.
• Ye Weiming spotted Gongsun Lüe leaving a neglected room with a brocade box, and she agreed to give him the Jueqing Pill if he spared Gongsun Zhi and later tried to save him.
• Ye Weiming tasted the pill and identified it as a Yama Pill, then went with Gongsun Lüe to her room and found a secret passage behind her wardrobe.
• Gongsun Lüe explained that Heartbreak Valley’s older rooms were linked by secret passages, and Cang Xingyu confirmed that the passages below Gongsun Zhi’s room branched in many directions.
• Ye Weiming told Cang Xingyu to search Gongsun Zhi’s belongings for a scent trail and ordered Xiao Qiao and Mu Ran to watch for him, then discovered Mu Ran’s portrait had turned gray.

Ye Weiming’s group searched for Mu Ran and tracked Gongsun Zhi through Heartbreak Valley, then discovered a hidden route to the underground river and Qiu Qianchi’s prison. After Mu Ran requested reinforcements, they found her with Yang Guo and the injured Qiu Qianchi, who recognized Gongsun Lüe and asked her name.

• Ye Weiming sent Xiao Qiao to check on Mu Ran after Mu Ran’s portrait went dark, while he and Cang Xingyu followed Ah Huang into a secret passage to track Gongsun Zhi.
• Xiao Qiao reported that Yang Guo and Mu Ran had gone to the pharmacy to search for an antidote to the Love Flower Poison.
• Ye Weiming found a hidden trapdoor in the pharmacy leading toward the underground river, but Xiao Longnv’s attempt to jump down was stopped by Xiao Qiao.
• Mu Ran’s portrait lit up again, and she requested urgent help after encountering Gongsun Zhi with Yang Guo and an injured, paralyzed person.
• Ye Weiming’s group found Mu Ran, Yang Guo, and Qiu Qianchi near a concealed cave entrance; Mu Ran said Gongsun Zhi had fled after injuring Qiu Qianchi.
• Gongsun Lüe arrived, and Qiu Qianchi jolted at the sight of her and asked her name.

Gongsun Lüe reunited with her mother, Qiu Qianchi, but Qiu died shortly afterward when Gongsun Zhi appeared and took Lüe hostage. Lüe revealed her overwhelming strength, helped Ye Weiming kill her father, and left the group stunned by her abilities.

• Qiu Qianchi identified Gongsun Lüe as her daughter and discussed the Jueqing Pill with her in private.
• Ye Weiming told Yang Guo that he might need to reserve a single Jueqing Pill to save someone vital to the Central Plains, and Yang Guo agreed to yield it.
• Gongsun Lüe cried out for her mother, and Ye Weiming realized Qiu Qianchi had died despite her injuries not appearing fatal.
• Gongsun Zhi emerged, seized Gongsun Lüe as a hostage, and demanded that she hand over the Jueqing Pill.
• Ye Weiming launched Sweep Across Eight Directions at Gongsun Zhi, while Gongsun Lüe seized her father's wrist and stopped his saber.
• Gongsun Lüe struck Gongsun Zhi into Ye Weiming's sword qi, which cut him in half; the system announced his permanent death, leaving the group astonished by Lüe's strength.

Ye Weiming exposed the woman posing as Gongsun Lüe as a ruthless master who had killed Qiu Qianchi and manipulated Gongsun Zhi. He and his teammates killed her, revealing her identity as Heaven's Mandate Cult Master Bai Fanghua, and Ye Weiming sent Xiao Qiao to search the corpse for the Jueqing Pills.

• Ye Weiming explained how Gongsun Zhi's actions, Qiu Qianchi's death, the Passion Flower Garden fire, and the fake Gongsun Lüe's relaxed neck exposed her deception and strength.
• Gongsun Lüe refused to reveal her identity, so Ye Weiming, Xiao Qiao, Cang Xingyu, and Mu Ran surrounded and attacked her with their killing moves.
• The team killed the level 190 boss, Heaven's Mandate Cult Master Bai Fanghua, and triggered the first-kill announcement.
• Ye Weiming explained that Bai Fanghua had succeeded Shan Yuru as cult master and inherited the Heavenly Demon Secret Tome through the Heaven's Mandate Cult's origins in the Yin Gui Sect.
• Ye Weiming told Xiao Qiao to loot Bai Fanghua's corpse and check whether the two Jueqing Pills had dropped.

After defeating Bai Fanghua, Nian Liandan, and other Heartbreak Valley enemies, Ye Weiming and his companions divided their loot and considered how to continue their quest for the Jueqing Pills. Ye Weiming deduced that Gongsun Lüe might be beneath Heartbreak Cliff, and Ah Hong arrived carrying two little fairies as the group prepared to investigate.

• Ye Weiming and Xiao Qiao inspected Bai Fanghua's drops, then the group divided the spoils from Nian Liandan and the other bosses.
• Xiao Qiao received the Heavenly Demon Ribbon and Immortal Demon Riding the Wind, Mu Ran took two martial arts manuals, Cang Xingyu won several artifacts and Flower Play, and Ye Weiming took the Cloud Dragon Pearl and Heavenly Demon Reincarnation.
• Ye Weiming collected the corpses of Bai Fanghua, Gongsun Zhi, and Qiu Qianchi, then explained that the quest for the Jueqing Pills must still have a solution.
• Ye Weiming, Cang Xingyu, and Mu Ran concluded that Bai Fanghua had impersonated Xiao Bai and that the real Gongsun Lüe might be beneath Heartbreak Cliff.
• Ah Hong arrived carrying two little fairies as Ye Weiming proposed going to Heartbreak Cliff to find out what had happened to Gongsun Lüe.

Ye Weiming rescued Gongsun Lüe from the bottom of Heartbreak Valley and uncovered the Jueqing Pill formula and all its ingredients there. After brewing the pills and delivering them to Lang Fanyun, he and his companions returned to the Divine Constable Bureau to claim their mission rewards.

• Ye Weiming descended Heartbreak Cliff and found Gongsun Lüe alive at the valley floor.
• Ye Weiming explained that her parents had died, then deduced that Heartbreak Grass could counter Love Flower Poison.
• Gongsun Lüe gave Ye Weiming her Longevity Lock, which he opened to find the Jueqing Pill formula hidden inside.
• Ye Weiming and Gongsun Lüe found every ingredient for the pill growing in the valley, and she helped him borrow Heartbreak Valley's pill furnace.
• Ye Weiming refined thirty-two Jueqing Pills, gave one to Yang Guo, kept one for his mission, and gifted the rest to Gongsun Lüe.
• Ye Weiming, Xiao Qiao, Mu Ran, and Cang Xingyu delivered pills to Lang Fanyun, then visited Venerable Huang, who prepared to reveal their rewards.

Venerable Huang distributed quest rewards to Ye Weiming’s teammates, giving Mu Ran an artifact robe, Cang Xingyu armor and a recommendation for the Xiangyang Defense Battle, and Xiao Qiao the sword Gan Jiang to pair with Mo Ye. Ye Weiming then learned that his reward unlocked evolution quests for the Nine Revolutions Yin Yang Divine Skill and its subordinate martial arts.

• Venerable Huang gave Mu Ran the Dancing Wind Rainbow Robe, an artifact that boosted her defense and mobility.
• Venerable Huang awarded Cang Xingyu the Bright Silver Ten Thousand Scale Armor and a letter of recommendation to join the Xiangyang Defense Battle through Guo Jing.
• Venerable Huang explained that the Yuan Mongols’ plans made a battle centered on Xiangyang City inevitable and invited Mu Ran and Xiao Qiao to join the defense.
• Venerable Huang gave Xiao Qiao Gan Jiang, which resonated with the Mo Ye sword she already owned and activated their paired effect.
• Venerable Huang granted Ye Weiming an evolution reward, and the system unlocked evolution quests for the Nine Revolutions Yin Yang Divine Skill and its subordinate martial arts.

After completing his mission, Ye Weiming accepted Venerable Huang’s order to strike Tianyi City while the Xiangyang Defense Battle drew attention elsewhere. He reviewed the intelligence, then went to the Heavenly Prison to question Yaksa again.

• Venerable Huang praised Ye Weiming for putting national affairs ahead of reviving Deputy Commander You Jin and sent his teammates to Xiangyang to register for the defense mission.
• After Ye Weiming’s teammates left, Venerable Huang gave him intelligence files on Tianyi City and ordered him to inflict a substantial blow on the organization.
• Ye Weiming accepted the hidden seven-star mission to strike Tianyi City, whose apparent goal was to make the martial world believe the city had suffered a devastating blow.
• Ye Weiming reviewed the files, sent them to the archives, and went to the Divine Constable Bureau’s Heavenly Prison.
• Yaksa greeted Ye Weiming and asked whether his trip to Heartbreak Valley had been fruitful.

Ye Weiming bargained with Yaksa for information about Tianyi City and the hidden Prince Sai's Mansion, promising better treatment and eventual release if her intelligence proved accurate. After unlocking the mansion's location, he joined Dao Mei, who offered to assist with his case, and arranged to use rumors about his deal with Yaksa to identify people seeking information.

• Ye Weiming visited Yaksa in the Heavenly Prison and told her that Nian Liandan was truly dead.
• Yaksa offered information about Tianyi City and Wanyan Ke'erke in exchange for her release, and Ye Weiming agreed to release her after dealing with Prince Sai's Mansion if her information proved accurate.
• Yaksa negotiated better food and daily baths, then revealed the location of Prince Sai's Mansion, unlocking its hidden map entrance.
• Dao Mei arrived and said Venerable Huang had sent her to assist Ye Weiming with his case instead of joining the Xiangyang Defense Battle.
• Ye Weiming ordered the jailer to improve Yaksa's conditions and discreetly spread news of their deal to identify people willing to pay for information.
