The old King of Night Charms sent Sikong Jing onward and offered its essence blood if he survived the Imperial Legacy Battlefield and promised to save its child, Su Yuexian.

• Sikong Jing explained his human, Beast, and demonic hearts to the old King of Night Charms before asking it to destroy Qing Ye.
