After entering Jia Chamber through its air vent, Chu Youwei reflected on Lin Xiaowan’s claim that Lu Feng had sincerely loved her, while Lu Feng remained unaware of her thoughts.

• Lu Feng noticed that Fire Essence Qi had escaped from the cracked Red Jade, while Chu Youwei approached him with concern after seeing his burned back.

Lu Feng recognized that Senior Ouye had combined array arts with weapon forging, then entered the Yi Chamber with Chu Youwei and discovered a sword mechanism that reacted to movement.

Lu Feng and Chu Youwei worked out how to evade the spiritual-energy-tracking array in the Stone Chamber by using her shoe to divert its attention, then crossing over the corpses. After an awkward moment over her slipping stockings, they joined hands and Lu Feng threw the shoe to begin their escape.

• Lu Feng explained that they could distract the array with Chu Youwei's shoe and escape by leaping across the corpses toward a hidden passage.
• Chu Youwei gave Lu Feng her shoe, but her loose Silk Stockings slipped off, and he caught them before they fell.

• Chu Youwei took Lu Feng's hand despite warning him not to get ideas, and Lu Feng threw her shoe toward the distant stone wall.

Lu Feng and Chu Youwei crossed a deadly sword-and-poison formation, found a hidden staircase, and continued their tense journey together. Their teasing over shoes led to a confrontation about Chu Youwei's belief that Lu Feng had romantic feelings for her, which Lu Feng denied as she began to suspect Xiao Wan had misled her.

• Lu Feng used his cloth shoes to draw the formation away, allowing him and Chu Youwei to cross the corpse-strewn chamber without being struck by swords or Poison Mist.

• After realizing Lin Xiaowan had tricked her about Lu Feng, Chu Youwei grew embarrassed and hurried ahead through the dark tunnel.
• Lu Feng took the lead, guiding Chu Youwei by the hand as the stairway spiraled upward around Bing Chamber toward Ding Chamber.
• They spotted the looted Bing Chamber through an air vent and saw dead soul masters, then found Ding Chamber in a similar state through ventilation holes.

The chapter left Lu Feng wondering why the formation imprisoned so many resentful remnant souls.

• Ji Lanxin ordered Yan Nanqiu to crawl through the burning Stone Chamber while barking, then escaped through the air vent with Miao Ying as Wei Yuan watched over him.

• Lu Feng and Chu Youwei stayed submerged in a pool to avoid Sun Liuliu and her recovering guards, and overheard Ji Lanxin humiliating Yan Nanqiu.
• Lu Feng recognized the pool water as Weaving Nether Water, which could transmit and block sound and corrode remnant souls, and suspected the short pillars were used to imprison them.
