Back from the trials, jingtian is overjoyed to see that he has finally won the race. He was not expecting that a disciple from the outside would win the race this year, but zheng had killed jinqiaoning and the others on the way to the finish line. He is angry that zheng is accusing him of something that he did not do. He accuses zheng of being a pushover, and the old woman scolds him for acting like that. zheng tells him that before he and the other eight of the sect members entered the final stretch of the race, he had fallen into the abyss of death. When he came out of the abyss later, he saw that the others had already left. He cannot let zheng get ahead of him at the last moment, and he has a countermeasure. He threatens to leave tianming behind if he does not hurry up for the final run. jingyuan is furious that he is not the first to enter the final race, but he blames his carelessness for zheng's victory
