Ge Nie and Jing Tianming are attacked in the desert. After fending the enemy troops off, Ge Nie is injured and is found, along with Tianming, by the Royal Tribe of Chu. They are then attacked by an assassin sent by Wei Zhuang.

The assassin is defeated by Ge Nie and the group takes off for an unknown area. Wei Zhuang dispatches Grey Wolf to deal with them.

After fending off the Grey Wolf assassin, Ge Nie's injuries reopen. At that time, Gao Yue(Yue Er) appears and leads them into a Mohist Manor, where Duanmu Rong, a doctor, is. Although reluctant to treat his wounds at first, she later changes her mind. Master Ban reappears in this episode, to prevent enforce the orders given by Duanmu Rong. Jing Tianming breaks Duanmu Rong's sign of the three who will not be treated.

Ge Nie has finally recovered and converses with Master Ban, regarding the insanity curse on Jing Tianming. The Qin's spies infiltrate the Mohist Manor, prompting Ge Nie, Tianming, Duanmu Rong and Yue Er to leave immediately. On the way, they are attacked by a giant bird at a cliff.

After they are stranded on the cliff, it is then revealed that Gao Yue is actually the princess of the Yan kingdom. Her father was supposedly killed by Ge Nie, and she plans to take revenge. Wei Zhuang's female assistant appears and controls Yue Er, coercing her to make Duanmu Rong kill Ge Nie. Master Ban then arrives on a mechanical giant bird, and successfully retrieves everyone except Yue Er who topples over into the cliff.

Yue Er is successfully rescued, and the truth regarding her father's death is revealed. Her father was really assassinated by Wei Zhuang and Wei Zhuang's female assistant changed the memory of Yue Er so she thought that Ge Nie was really the one who killed her father. In addition, a plot involving the assassination of the Qin Emperor is revealed to have taken place years ago, one that ultimately failed.
