Episode 17

Xia Ling and Cao Yanbing successfully sneaked into the mourning hall and were surprised to find that there was no one guarding the place.Xia Ling speculated that everyone might be searching for Cao Yanbing, the murderer she mentioned, but she never expected that the murderer himself would return here for an autopsy.This conversation happened to be heard by Feng Zha who was hiding here. He mistakenly believed that Cao Yanbing was the murderer of his father Yan Tianyue, so he stepped forward to prevent the autopsy.Cao Yanbing and Xia Ling were both happy to learn that Feng Zha was the son of Yan Tianyue and was still alive.

In order to ask Feng Zha to help lead the way, Cao Yanbing did not dare to act rashly. He kept explaining that he was not the murderer and proposed an autopsy to find out the truth.During the dispute between the two parties, it was accidentally discovered that the person in the coffin was wearing a human skin mask. After uncovering it, it was confirmed that it was not Yan Tianyue himself.Cao Yanbing pointed out that the deceased's eyes were blue and his behavior was abnormal before death, which was suspected to be caused by taking Chi Jade.After examination, Feng Zha confirmed that this person died at the hands of Fei Lian.

Feng Zha wanted to find Fei Lian, his guardian soul, but it was difficult to sense him due to the distance.Cao Yanbing proposed that the power of the deceased came from Fei Lian, and Chiyu may be connected with Fei Lian, or Fei Lian's whereabouts may be found through Elder Mei.The three of them then went to Elder Mei and asked whether Chiyu was fatal.Elder Mei said that the blazing jade diluted by him was harmless, implying that the original solution could be fatal.Cao Yanbing understood the conspiracy and determined that it was Yan Lingyu's layout.

Faced with Elder Mei's silence, Cao Yanbing used violence to force him, and finally got him to reveal that Fei Lian might be hiding in a wooden house in Lingfeng Mountain.At the same time, Yan Lingyu learned of Cao Yan's soldiers' movements and welcomed the three masters from the Hall of Heroes to arrest him.Bei Luo witnessed everything and saw Yan Lingyu paying homage to Yan Tianyue, vowing to rebuild his tomb after the dust settled.

Cao Yanbing and three others approached the wooden house, and Feng Zha became increasingly weak due to sensing Fei Lian's pain.Facing Li Gucheng's surprise attack, Cao Yan ordered Xia Ling to evacuate with Feng Zha and fight alone.With the help of four generals, he defeated two opponents.When the eldest sister saw this, she personally took action and released the divine martial form to protect Yuanshen Luba.Although Cao Yanbing felt pressure, he still refused to rely on external forces and vowed to win on his own.
