In this chapter, we learn that soul-searching can be dangerous. If the cultivator executing it is careless, he or she may lose his or her soul entirely. In other words, if the cultivator is careless during the process, the person who is undergoing the process may lose all of his soul. Flower fairy agrees to the idea of soul searching, but she warns that if she does it, she will have to duel with him once the battle is over, and that they will be fighting with their lives on the battlefield then. She says that the elder from the spirit beasts will not be able to do the soul searching because he is biased against his master. She tells him that he should step forward, but if he insists on doing it, they will have a duel with each other after the final battle. She asks him if he is thinking of the spirit beast, and he says that he is still sossloppy. He says that his master would help him, but that the general wouldnt believe him. He tells her that he tricked her, and she apologizes if she has offended her, but he was not plotting against her. He is refusing to admit his crime, he says, because his master has his backing. Gu Qingshan, the senior disciple of the clear cloud sect, is shocked that he has been wronged. He has the responsibility of upholding the reputation of the sect, he tells him, and educating the other disciples. He finally understands why he is insolent. He wants to see if his master will protect him, or if he will slaughter him first
