Chen Changsheng used Beast Race experts to force Flying Dust Supreme to retreat, explaining that he needed to keep the Supreme Pill Master alive until Nine-Headed Xiang Liu was dealt with.

• Chen Changsheng demanded information from the black shadow and threatened to expose him to the Heavenly Dao Society and his master.

• Cui Tian Rui regretted missing Chen Feng's World-Shocking Sword and offered to help, but Cui Hao Yu pointed out that only a mission from Teacher could reveal their whereabouts.

Cui Hao Yu realized that Cui Tian Rui and the other young cultivators were advancing quickly, while Guan Ping and Lu Mingyu grew closer in their secluded world. Lu Mingyu explained that he loved Guan Ping because she treated him as a living person rather than someone already doomed by illness.

• Cui Tian Rui declined to meet Chen Feng for now, saying he wanted time to prepare for the day they faced each other openly.
• Guan Ping asked Lu Mingyu whether he hated her for exposing her connection to Teacher, and Lu Mingyu reassured her that he held no grudge.

Elsewhere, Chen Changsheng gave Cui Tian Rui the Imperial Preceptor Decree and sent him to capture Wang Ping, while Lu Mingyu’s group reached Ouyang Bufan at the waterfall.

• Guan Ping accused Liu Qingqing of being jealous and scheming, and Liu Qingqing admitted she resented the affection Guan Ping received before the two nearly fought.
• Lu Mingyu and Chen Feng stopped Guan Ping and Liu Qingqing from fighting, and Lu Mingyu said Ouyang Bufan would help because he owed Lu Mingyu a favor.
• Cui Tian Rui asked Chen Changsheng to let him go out, and Chen Changsheng gave him the Imperial Preceptor Decree and assigned him to capture Wang Ping within a month.
• Lu Mingyu called to Ouyang Bufan at the Heavenly Lotus Sect’s waterfall, and Ouyang Bufan emerged and said they should not have come.

Ouyang Bufan said he could stabilize Chen Feng and the other injured man's condition, but he could not provide the poolful of Bodhi Holy Water needed to purify the Fierce Spirit in Chen Feng's sword. He agreed to try to save the two men after learning Lu Mingyu was Chen Changsheng's disciple, then eagerly challenged Lu Mingyu to exchange moves.

• Ouyang Bufan examined Chen Feng and the other injured man and said only his master might be able to save them, though he could help stabilize their injuries.
• Lu Mingyu asked Ouyang Bufan for Bodhi Holy Water, and Chen Feng said he needed enough to fill a precisely measured pool to purify the Fierce Spirit in his sword.

• Ouyang Bufan agreed to do his best to save the injured men if Lu Mingyu answered whether he was truly Chen Changsheng's disciple.
• After Lu Mingyu confirmed it, Ouyang Bufan asked to exchange moves with him and explained that Chen Changsheng was believed to be the legendary Undertaker.
• Ouyang Bufan gave Guan Ping a Jade Slip describing the Undertaker's identity, while Lu Mingyu wondered who had exposed his connection to Chen Changsheng.

Lu Mingyu frustrated Ouyang Bufan and Chen Feng by insisting that his teacher had never taught him cultivation skills. At Ping An Hall, Ouyang Bufan examined Lu Mingyu and Liu Qingqing, concluding that the Imperial Tutor’s treatments had stabilized Lu Mingyu’s injury and were drawing a hidden object out of Liu Qingqing’s body.

• Lu Mingyu stopped Ouyang Bufan from fighting and explained that he had no cultivation and could not use any combat techniques.
