In this chapter, we learn that the four messengers sent by the Four Horsemen were defeated by the tortoise spirit of Lu Xie, who struck back at the messengers. The tortoise spirit tells the four horsemen that they will have to fight one by one against the four sects. The first lady of the thousand machines sect and the sect master of the verdant capsule sect want to meet the protagonist. They want to thank him for his help in defeating the four horsemen. The protagonist says that he has to make sure that the two girls don't get too close to each other, because if they do, there'll be endless troubles. He tells the protagonist not to force them to stay with him, because everyone has their own fate. He also says that the protagonist should have a companion to accompany him on his way to hell.
