Back at baidi city, zhuge wonders why he didn't show up when he was supposed to be in the forest. He tells zhu ianning and the other disciples that he's going to kill only one person, and that's luozheng. The rest of them should stay away from the city, he says, because the city is being attacked by ghoul-like creatures. He also says that the rest of his troops are free to leave, but he has to stay to protect his brother, who is a military counselor in the imperial army. He says that he can send some men to help escort him out, but then he'll let his bros have fun with him first before killing him. He calls the spirit soldier and says that this is his prized magical weapon, a nine-feet-long mirror, that can't be destroyed in a short amount of time. The spirit soldier says that if he lays a finger on him, he will make the entire imperial army his enemies. He then says that since he killed the military counselor, he is now the enemy of all the fentian empire.
