The two of them meet for the first time. The demon says that he hasn't seen him for a long time, and that he's more cunning than he was when he drank demon blood. He doesn't want to give him another chance, he says, because he inherited his power and killed the white tiger. He wants to create a "new" power beyond the powers of the gods and demons, which he says is "an unreasonable power" . He also says that the memory crystal contained all of his memories of his time with phoenix, and he didn't know what to do with it. He says that if he turned him down, he'd refuse to move forward, but if he refused to move on, he wouldn't be chained up. He tells the story of how he came to save his sister, and how he fought with lie to get there first. Meanwhile, the holy maiden of white tiger god has accepted worship from the people of huyun, and she's going to marry the crown prince of the kingdom. They're going to hold the "grandest wedding" when lie returns, and then they'll see the memories of the people who entered the devil lake.
