Zhang Yuan and Xiao Yuanjun went to the Bian Kingdom Capital to seek the [golden carriage baleful sha], but it had not yet emerged. After they visited the third princess’s consort-registration desk, Zhang Yuan discovered that he had become engaged to the princess and received a supernatural Marriage Contract.

• Zhang Yuan could not sense the [golden carriage baleful sha], so he and Xiao Yuanjun decided to stay in the capital until it appeared.
• After hearing that the third princess was choosing a consort, Xiao Yuanjun took Zhang Yuan to the Third Princess's Residence despite his misgivings.
• Xiao Yuanjun and Zhang Yuan fled when the old steward tried to register them, but the steward secretly wrote Zhang Yuan's name in the register.

Xiao Yuanjun failed to break Zhang Yuan’s Marriage Contract and suspected a Golden Core True Lord had empowered it, so they went to the capital to learn about the Bian Kingdom’s third princess, Dongfang Caibai.

As the fight began, Zhang Yuan discovered Li Zhongshuang's rare talents and Li Jiejian learned that Zhang Yuan had become the Third Princess's chosen husband.

• Li Jieyan's Netherworld Soul-Erasing Seal was extinguished by Xiao Yuanjun's Miasma Wind, which wounded him and forced him to recognize her presence.

• Li Jiejian apologized to Zhang Yuan before preparing to attack, but Zhang Yuan hurled his golden carriage at him and knocked him down.
• Li Jiejian used [Earth-Blocking Plow] to raise a stone wall, but Zhang Yuan recalled the carriage and fled before he could be trapped.

• Xiao Yuanjun broke through Li Jieyan’s [Dragon-Snake Sky-Sealing Art] with [Fivefold Body-Rending Qi] and killed him.

• Zhang Yuan looked above Dongfang Caibai's head to see whether Person Viewing could reveal a label for a Foundation Establishment Celestial.

Zhang Yuan discovered that Dongfang Caibai had a rebellious streak and warned Xiao Yuanjun that she might turn against the Bian Kingdom Empress on the wedding day. They suspected a Golden Core True Lord from the Western Bian Chu Clan was backing her, and planned to sound out the situation and seek contact with the Chu Clan.

Zhang Yuan met Li Huixi of the Eastern Bian Li Clan while seeking the [Iron Chain Sha] and learned that both the Li and Chu Clans had True Lords in the capital. As Xiao Yuanjun prepared to seize the [Iron Chain Sha], a tremendous crash sounded from underground.

• Li Huixi recognized Zhang Yuan, revealed that she knew of his betrothal to a Li Clan daughter, and insisted the marriage contract still counted.
• Zhang Yuan dismissed Li Huixi's claim and learned that the Eastern Bian Li Clan had reserved the [Iron Chain Sha] because its True Lord was in the capital.
• Li Huixi told Zhang Yuan that a True Lord from the Western Bian Chu Clan was also in the capital, at Chu Manor.
• Xiao Yuanjun interrupted their conversation, saying she had divined the karmic threads of the [Iron Chain Sha] and would seize it for Zhang Yuan.
• A deafening crash and the sound of taut chains came from the crowd's center as something began burrowing up from underground.

Li Houjin suppressed the upheaval caused by the [Iron Chain Sha], but Xiao Yuanjun subdued the earth dragon and seized it before the other cultivators could act. Li Houjin then claimed the sha for the Eastern Bian Li Clan, leaving Xiao Yuanjun furious and fighting to take it back.

• Li Houjin calmed the shaking ground, and the [Iron Chain Sha] emerged as a huge earth dragon.

• Xiao Yuanjun cursed the clan and used her qi to try to pull the [Iron Chain Sha] back.

Xiao Yuanjun used her fourth divine ability to fool Li Houjin and help Zhang Yuan seize the [Iron Chain Sha]. They escaped aboard the Golden Carriage, and Zhang Yuan refined the Sha, reaching Four-Turn Qi Refining.

• Xiao Yuanjun stopped her earlier divine abilities and raised her standing with [Heaven-Sundering Fourfold Immortal Domain], appearing nearly equal to Li Houjin.
• Xiao Yuanjun declared the [Iron Chain Sha] to be in Zhang Yuan's hand, and it vanished from the air into his grasp.
• Zhang Yuan fled with the [Iron Chain Sha] aboard the Golden Carriage while Xiao Yuanjun left behind an image made with [Severing Past and Present, Leaving or Staying].
• Li Houjin struck at the image, realized Xiao Yuanjun had fooled him, and lost the [Iron Chain Sha]; Li Huixi called him useless.
• Aboard the Golden Carriage, Zhang Yuan refined the [Iron Chain Sha] and reached Four-Turn Qi Refining.

Zhang Yuan learned that Xiao Yuanjun was assembling a second divine ability for him and planned to seek the [Interlocking Sha] from the Chu Clan. Meanwhile, Li Huixi discussed the missing [Iron Chain Sha] with Li Zhongshuang and revealed that she intended to steal Zhang Yuan from the Third Princess’s wedding.
