The next morning, the group is still in the middle of their preparations for battle when they hear the sound of a shadow liu moving through the air. The group realizes that they have been ambushed, and they wonder who is behind the attack. They wonder if there is a heaven-level expert protecting yuechi and her son. They also wonder if chen-qin has someone helping him. They drag yong-qiin out of the room and drag him into the hallway, where he realizes that he has been ambushed.
