Chun Xiaobai led Lu Qingshan, Bai Jin'er, Bai Yutang, Fang Yuan, and five Spirit Transformation elders to the Spirit Origin Sect, while the elders mistakenly believed he was seeking justice for a lover whose Dao Foundation had been stolen. They reached a hill overlooking the sect, where Lu Qingshan worried that the elders would abandon Chun Xiaobai once they learned the real purpose of the trip.

• Chun Xiaobai rushed the group into the air before Lu Qingshan could explain their mission.

• Chun Xiaobai led the group to a hill a hundred miles from the sect and watched its gates from the grass.
• Lu Qingshan anxiously feared the elders would quit when Chun Xiaobai revealed the Demonic Artifact.

• Chun Xiaobai handed out black regulation armor, and Bai Jin'er and her companions put on their imitation Emperor Pavilion Armor.
• Zhang Xuanhe and the other elders mistook the armor for mortal-dynasty military gear and concluded Chun Xiaobai was a prince because he called himself “this king.”
• Chun Xiaobai called a meeting to plan the operation, but Zhang Xuanhe insisted they should charge straight into the Spirit Origin Sect.
• Chun Xiaobai warned that they needed to keep the sect’s business running for years, and the elders agreed not to push it too far at first.
• When the elders asked whether Chun Xiaobai had visited before, Lu Qingshan hurriedly endorsed his plan, and Chun Xiaobai told everyone to follow his cues and watch their bearing.

Chun Xiaobai led Bai Yutang, Bai Jin'er, Fang Yuan, and five Grand Supreme Elders toward the Spirit Origin Sect at night, presenting their operation as a justice-seeking mission while preparing for a covert raid. The group reached the sect’s back mountain, where Chun Xiaobai sealed the auras of some companions and began scouting the elders’ quarters.

• Chun Xiaobai instructed the five Grand Supreme Elders to control the situation, cover the group’s retreat, and avoid being followed back to their lodging.
• Chun Xiaobai led the group through the vegetation toward the Spirit Origin Sect under cover of night, and the five elders followed after recalling the money they had accepted.
• The group circled to the sect’s back mountain and crouched beside a wall overlooking the illuminated grounds and night patrols.
• Chun Xiaobai used his Heaven-Sealing Finger to conceal Bai Jin'er’s, Bai Yutang’s, and Fang Yuan’s auras, but Zhang Xuanhe refused the help, claiming he could conceal his own aura and need not fear the sect.
• Chun Xiaobai surveyed the Spirit Origin Sect and detected dozens of powerful auras concentrated around a cluster of halls where the elders lived.

Chun Xiaobai led Lu Qingshan and four Azure Cloud Sect elders into the Spirit Origin Sect at night, where his demonic sword terrified the elders and made them suspect he planned something worse than theft. As they tried to edge away, Chun Xiaobai caught them and demanded to know whether they were running.

• Chun Xiaobai led Bai Jin'er and the others through the darkness, while Zhang Xuanhe and four elders noisily climbed onto a hall roof and resisted his orders to hide.

• Zhang Xuanhe accused Lu Qingshan of setting them up, but Chun Xiaobai scolded the elders for acting frightened and demanded to know whether they were professionals.
• The five elders realized the danger of being caught with Chun Xiaobai and his demonic artifact, then quietly tried to retreat; Chun Xiaobai noticed and confronted them.

• Chun Xiaobai recorded Qian Hesong holding the Demonic Sword with an Image Recording Stone.
• Chun Xiaobai shouted that Qian Hesong was a demon and ordered his companions to seize him.

Chun Xiaobai exposed Qian Hesong and the Demonic Artifact at the Spirit Origin Sect, then used the chaos to make the sect’s leaders mistake his group for Emperor Pavilion Envoys. Zhang Xuanhe realized he and the others were impersonating the envoys just as the sect elders begged for mercy.

• Chun Xiaobai shouted that there was a demon in the sect, drawing the Spirit Origin Sect’s elders and Grand Supreme Elders to the rooftop.
• Qian Hesong was found beside the Demonic Artifact, while Zhang Xuanhe and the others gathered behind Chun Xiaobai in their black armor.

• Zhou Qingyi prompted Zhang Xuanhe to notice their armor, and he realized they were impersonating Emperor Pavilion Envoys.

Chun Xiaobai and his companions used a staged formation to convince the Spirit Origin Sect that they were facing Emperor Pavilion forces, while the sect's leaders denied having anything to do with the Demonic Artifact. The standoff ended with the sect pleading its case and Chun Xiaobai recognizing that evidence would be needed to prove their guilt.

• Zhang Xuanhe's startled outburst drew the Spirit Origin Sect elders' attention, and they began recognizing him and his companions.
• Fang Yuan ordered the five men to take positions for the Nine Heavens Demon-Slaying Formation, but they hesitated because they could not actually set it up.
• Fang Yuan secretly used a fifth-tier Spirit-Gathering Talisman, allowing the five to arrange their familiar Five Phases formation and make it seem powerful.

• He Yunting and the elders insisted that the Demonic Artifact was a misunderstanding and denied the sect had dealings with Demon Cultivators.
• Chun Xiaobai dismissed their pleas as self-interested and recognized that evidence was needed to establish the sect's guilt.

Chun Xiaobai used the Image Recording Stone to make He Yunting believe the Spirit Origin Sect had been caught sheltering a demon and hiding a demonic artifact. As Chun Xiaobai ordered the sect arrested and Qian Hesong subjected to Soul Searching, He Yunting killed Qian Hesong and revealed that he had reached peak spirit transformation.

• Chun Xiaobai showed He Yunting the Image Recording Stone, whose footage appeared to show Qian Hesong examining a demonic sword, and declared the evidence conclusive.
• He Yunting feared the Spirit Origin Sect would be destroyed, while Chun Xiaobai ordered the gates sealed and everyone on the sect's rolls detained for trial.
• Chun Xiaobai ordered Qian Hesong taken for Soul Searching, prompting He Yunting to kill him with a single palm strike.
