In this chapter, the spirit queen tells the emperor that the empress wants them to kill her ten days ago, but the emperor is too naive to believe her. The spirit queen says that if the phantom clan had not been expelled from the land, there would have been more sacrifice to maintain the truce. She also says that the snow clan could stand a chance against her. She says that she will tell the emperor her plan when he uses his spiritual energy to kill the imperial guards. The imperial guards are on the slope, and if they hadn't been persuaded to work with her, he says, they would have killed him already. He says that he still has feelings for her, but he doesn't want her to be the one to blame for killing him. He tells her that the real power he longs for is the emperor, and that he wants the emperor to have the power to kill him. But surprisingly, they found out that they were imperial guards, not the guards of the emperor. They found that the imperial guard was the imperial gun, and the imperial hunter. He asks for an explanation from the officers, and he says that lingzhi has been lying to him all the time, but they are best friends, and everything he's done for her has been done. He wants to know how he can repay her for betraying him.
