Sikong Jing exposed Han Genqian’s defeat and revealed Liu Shitian’s death, then accused Deputy Manor Lord Liu Shizeng of conspiring with Cold Dragon Patriarch to undermine Ye Wucan. The chapter ended with Sikong Jing trying to drive a wedge between the Liu and Ye families.
Sikong Jing exposed Cold Dragon Patriarch’s plan to kill Liu Shitian and frame him, then forced Han Genqian to confirm the scheme before Willow Leaf Holy Manor. With the conspiracy revealed, Sikong Jing tried to resume his marriage proposal, but Liu Shizeng insisted it had to wait until Cold Dragon Patriarch arrived.
Sikong Jing negotiated with Ye Wucan over his marriage to Su Yuexi, demanding that Su Yuexian and his in-laws be kept safe and allowed to leave Willow Leaf Holy Manor. Han Genqian then attacked Sikong Jing's credibility, threatening to derail the negotiations.
Sikong Jing admitted that he had been exiled on the surface but claimed he was carrying out a secret mission from Murong Jianyun. He promised to produce a Qianyuan Fragment Map immediately, and Bai Xiaojin and Leng Sha arrived at Willow Leaf Holy Manor with a large chest.
Sikong Jing killed Cold Dragon Patriarch in Willow Leaf Grand Hall and gave his Qianyuan Fragment Map to Ye Wucan, leaving Willow Leaf Holy Manor unable to avoid blame from Dragon Controlling Mountain. When Han Genqian offered to testify for the manor, Su Yuexi killed him, making it impossible for anyone to clear the manor’s name.
Sikong Jing used Cold Dragon Patriarch’s death and the two Qianyuan Fragment Maps to force Willow Leaf Holy Manor to consider allying with the Tyrant Heaven Chamber of Commerce. As Ye Wucan’s side hesitated, the Reverse Blade Sect attacked the manor’s properties and Ye Wuyu’s courtyard.
Sikong Jing revealed that he had given the Hundred-Man Army-Slaying Formation to Shi Douxing, while Willow Leaf Holy Manor learned of a hidden message warning that Dragon Controlling Mountain would attack and urging Xiu Hanzhi to rescue Su Zhenglong. Shi Douxing arrived at the manor, and Ye Wucan suspected Sikong Jing had arranged the escalating threats.
Sikong Jing used Shi Douxing’s demonstration of the Hundred-Man Army-Slaying Formation to pressure Ye Wucan into accepting his marriage proposal and betrothal gifts. The chapter ended with Ye Wucan weighing Willow Leaf Holy Manor’s perilous choices as Sikong Jing offered the formation, a partnership with the Tyrant Heaven Chamber of Commerce, and the Qianyuan Fragment Map.
Sikong Jing agreed to stay in Willow Leaf Holy Manor until Ye Wucan received Murong Jianyun’s answer, but demanded a public betrothal before handing over the Hundred-Man Army-Slaying Formation. Ye Wucan’s hopes rose when he found the black jade papers on Han Genqian, only to discover Sikong Jing had made the formation paper a trap.
Ye Wucan discovered that the two black jade papers were fake and began to suspect Sikong Jing had orchestrated the events that cornered Willow Leaf Holy Manor. Sikong Jing reunited with Su Yuexi and her family, then explained that Ye Wucan would eventually come begging him for help, leaving them to spend time together inside the manor for now.
After Sikong Jing and Su Yuexi’s betrothal, Sikong Jing considered how to replace Ye Wucan as Willow Leaf Holy Manor’s lord and discovered a possible clue to restoring Ye Wuzhi’s crippled leg. Ye Wuzhi then showed him the Willow Leaf Sacred Wall, which held the manor’s true martial intent.
Sikong Jing waited for Ye Wucan to seek his help with the Hundred-Man Army-Slaying Formation, then demanded to see Ye Yuexian in exchange for further guidance. Several days later, the Tyrant Heaven Chamber of Commerce gathered after Thousand Kings Holy Tower invited Murong Jianyun to discuss the remnants of Su Old Devil.
Murong Jianyun learned that Sikong Jing had slain the Cold Dragon Patriarch, taken Dragon Controlling Mountain’s Qianyuan Fragment Map, and implicated Willow Leaf Holy Manor in the affair. He agreed to support Willow Leaf Holy Manor and keep Sikong Jing safe, then excluded Nan Feng from a private briefing about Sikong Jing.
Murong Jianyun revealed Sikong Jing’s actions in Willow Leaf City and decided the Tyrant Heaven Chamber of Commerce would support Willow Leaf Holy Manor and secure its Qianyuan Fragment Maps. After showing the others his research on the fragments, he ordered his allies to confront Dragon Controlling Mountain and begin cooperation with Willow Leaf Holy Manor.
Murong Jianyun prepared the Tyrant Heaven Chamber of Commerce for the Qianyuan Holy Demon Hall’s next move, while Sikong Jing arranged to make himself appear weak in Willow Leaf City. The chapter ended as Sikong Jing began treating Ye Wuzhi’s lame leg with true qi bearing Willow Leaf Holy Manor’s attributes.
Sikong Jing partially healed Ye Wuzhi’s crippled leg by combining Willow Leaf techniques with demon beast meridians, triggering Ye Wuzhi’s breakthrough into the Venerable realm. He then prepared for the Qianyuan Holy Demon Hall’s suspected move against Willow Leaf City, and Murong Jianyun’s letter supported his concerns.
Sikong Jing negotiated with Ye Wucan for the chance to instruct Willow Leaf Holy Manor’s Hundred-Man Army-Slaying Formation, demanding access to the Willow Leaf Sacred Wall for himself and Su Yuexi. He began by choosing a low-status guard who had been deliberately losing, while Ye Wuyu objected.
Sikong Jing began training Ye Ke in the Hundred-Man Army-Slaying Formation and promised to teach him Willow Leaf Holy Manor’s martial arts, while Su Yuexi meditated before the Willow Leaf Sacred Wall. After guiding Ye Ke, Sikong Jing examined the wall and suspected it was another demon box.
Sikong Jing examined the Willow Leaf Sacred Wall and learned that it held power from its ancient willow vessel and Willow Leaf Holy Manor’s Saint Martial Stage ancestors. He guided Ye Ke to victory in the Hundred-Man Army-Slaying Formation, then left to train another disciple as Ye Wucan discovered Sikong Jing had reached the Heavenly King Realm.
Sikong Jing broke through to the Heavenly King Realm while studying the Willow Leaf Sacred Wall and began secretly instructing branch-line disciples. By the twentieth day of his confinement, he had trained eight disciples, while Willow Leaf Holy Manor’s core line still refused to let Ye Yuexian return.
Sikong Jing deeply comprehended the Willow Leaf Sacred Wall while the Tyrant Heaven Chamber of Commerce moved to protect him from Dragon Controlling Mountain. Ye Wucan offered to send Sikong Jing and the others back to the Heavenly Tyrant Branch, but Sikong Jing chose to remain at Willow Leaf Holy Manor, where Ye Yuexian was expected to return soon.
Ye Wucan agreed to bring Su Yuexian back after Sikong Jing forced Willow Leaf Holy Manor to yield, while Sikong Jing continued studying the Sacred Wall for a way to repair severed limbs. At the Willow Leaf Sacred Tomb, Ye Wukui received the order to return Su Yuexian, but no one answered his call for her.
Ye Wukui learned that Ye Yuexian had fallen into the Holy Tomb Demon Cave after Ye Lushi tried to force himself on her. He revealed that her disappearance threatened Willow Leaf Holy Manor, but Ye Lushi and his grandmother still proposed hiding the truth from Ba Hun's inheritor.
Ye Lushi’s family tried to hide their role in Su Yuexian’s apparent death, but Su Yuexian had survived and reached the center of the Willow Leaf Sacred Tomb. There, ancestor Liu Duoye revealed that the marriage restrictions blamed on her had been fabricated, while Su Yuexian remained unaware that she had been chosen to inherit Liu Duoye’s martial path.
Liu Duoye recognized Su Yuexian’s potential and began passing her martial path to her, while Sikong Jing restored Ye Wuzhi’s crippled leg and unlocked his accumulated strength. The story left off as Ye Wucan announced that Ye Wukui had returned.
