This chapter opens with a brief description of Lin Feng's health. He tells us that he's been training with elder gongsun for the last several days. He's trying to increase his strength, but his health seems to be getting worse. He wonders if he can use the old devil's tricks to help him. He wants to know if they can force the ghost's venom out of Lin's body. The elder tells him to come out quickly. He says that his power has grown a lot, and that he has almost reached the "state" of being able to transfer the venom into his body. He warns him that the venom contains "enormous cold energy" . Lin Feng says that he doesn't care if the venom spreads into his heart, but he does need to save the man. He asks the elder not to risk his life because of him, but the elder reminds him that he can't use the vampire's poison without using the sword technique that Lin Feng taught him. Lin feng tells the elder that he still has a lot to learn. He needs to return the General's Order to the sword sect. He also needs to tell his fellow wuxiang students that he was wounded by a traitor, and he lost his life in the hands of a member of the school. He begs the elder to forgive him for his heavy burden. He swears that he will protect the order.
