Xiang Antu asks to meet Zang Hai one last time. Both of them use a code to set up a trap and plan for the escape.

Zang Hai suspects that Xiang An Tu is his enemy upon finding out that she's the nation's hostage. Xiang An Tu denies his claim, yet she finds it difficult to explain the relationship between Dongxia and Cao Jing Xian.

The Empress of Dongxia offers a wooden palace to the capital as tribute. Zang Hai thinks the wooden palace is made with his father's technique.

The Empress tells Zang Hai about the history of the Gui Seal. She forces him to make a choice between the Gui Seal and her daughter.

The third perpetrator agrees to grant Zang Hai a dignified death. The executioner layers sheets of wet paper over Zang Hai's face, until his pulse fades completely.

The third perpetrator barges into the sacred ground of Dongxia. He forces Zang Hai to consume the Gui Seal poison, coercing him into teaching him how to control the undead soldiers.

Zhongzhou is flooded. Chu Huai Ming tries to set a fire to murder Zang Hai before trouble arises. Zhuang Zhi Xing, who has received instructions from Zang Hai beforehand, apprehends him.

Zang Hai learns about Zhuang Lu Yin and Shen Wan's past from Gao Ming. He helps Zhuang Lu Yin deal with his guilt and advises him to nurture Zhuang Zhi Xing while gaining more of his trust at the same time.

Zhuang Zhi Xing heeds Zang Hai's suggestion. He joins the military but is put on the spot on multiple occasions. He intends to become a deserter.

At the banquet, several officials talk about Minister of Revenue Zhao Bing Wen. Their words spark Zang Hai's suspicion. He decides to visit the Zhao Residence and search the place in secret.

Zang Hai sets up a trap to sow discord between Zhuang Lu Yin and Cao Jing Xian. He follows Cao Jing Xian and finds out that he is secretly meeting the hostage of Dongxia. Zang Hai is sure that the third person will appear soon.

Zhuang Luyin tells Zhuang Zhixing the truth of the Kuai family's annihilation. Zhuang Zhixing gives Zang Hai the bronze fish piece he obtained from his father and tells Zang Hai the identity of the third person.

Zang Hai lures the Empress into an empty tomb, while Xiang Antu escapes from the Zang Residence, determined to stop him from killing her mother.

Zang Hai finally finds the Gui Seal. While he is focusing on carving the patterns on the forged Gui Seal, the Gui Seal is taken away by Cao Jingxian's foster son.
