The chapter opens with a discussion of the mission that the army is planning to carry out in the central part of the enemy's territory. The task is simple: they need to map the area and capture the traitor. They also need to prepare for an attack on the blizzard glacier, which would be an excellent opportunity for them to capture and kill the traitor and complete their mission. The armor on the deck carries a "light scent of demons" , which they can use to disguise themselves as demons in order to escape danger. Suddenly, all of the soldiers on deck fall to the ground, and they shout in pain. The martial arts essence hits them, but it doesn't kill them. The jade that liu is carrying has helped them to escape, and he looks calm. The chapter ends with the question of whether or not the group will be able to return safely.
