This chapter opens with a flashback to the beginning of the previous chapter. The flashback shows that the flame spirit is a powerful force that can be harnessed to destroy enemies. The flame spirit can also be used to destroy a person, and this is exactly what happens to the young man in the flashback. He runs away from the place where he was captured. He is grateful to his brother and uncle for saving his family's lives. The elder brother tells him that the family plans to move to a safer place the next day. The young man wonders why he hates the demon clan, and the elder brother explains that he does have a moral opinion, but he does not want to take the side of the clan. The next morning, the family will leave for the inland of the tushan. The old man tells the young prince that he wants him to stab the prince in the heart. The prince asks the old man if he wants the girl to charm the prince, and she says yes. He tells her that she is not enough, and that she should not do it. She tells him to reach out to her, and he does so.
