At Drunken Dream House, Zhu Jia suggests that blood of the same kin used as a catalyst could create an antidote for the young girl. Lian Yi donates some of her blood and with Zhu Jia's help the girl slowly begins to recover. Lian Yi then shows Zhu Jia the box containing the Night Pearl and secret information which is to be given to the successor of the Azure Dragon Plan. Zhu Jia however declines to accept it and gives it to Shengqi instead who knows how to open the secret compartment. Inside they find a document with an exhaustive record of underground passages covering the State of Qin. They note that 10 li south of the Drunken Dream House, there's a secret passage that leads to the Great Ze Mountain. Shengqi and his brother prepare to set off and arrive before Tian Hu, while Zhu Jia and Liu Ji prepare to gather manpower and follow later. As Shengqi closes the box, another message is ejected which he gives to Lian Yi. Ji Bu also leaves, to fulfill his duty as a soldier of the Chu State. He finds Ying Bu where has recovered his armour and the two former Chu army generals reconcile their past differences. They suddenly encounter Zhongli Mei and Long Ju, and for the first time in many years, four people of the Chu State's strongest Tribe of Xiang are united, the ones who have inherited the Military Strategies: wind, forest, fire, and mountain.
