When the battle is over, Cai Ming tells his father that he has killed both his son and Cai Ming. Cai Ming says that he can't let Cai Ming kill him, because the demon voice is telling him that Cai Ming wants Cai Ming dead. He says that if Cai Ming shows up, he will be dead before Cai Ming can kill him. General Xinhua tells Cai Ming that his son has already surrendered and is now a guest of the family. He asks Cai Ming why he would want to kill his son so badly, since Cai Ming is attacking people in the city. He tells him that the rumors are true that the six largest clans don't support Cai Ming's first prince, and he says that the rumor about the six families supporting Cai Ming isn't true. He also says that, if the family lord and the marshal know about the situation, what are they going to do, since General Xiao is in his own hands and is in danger of being killed. He begs Cai Ming to let him off the hook for killing his son, but Cai Ming refuses to give him an explanation, saying that if he doesn't give him one, he won't even care if the marshal finds out about it. He wants to know why he cut off his own meridians, which are the points in his body that regulate blood flow. He thinks that if they keep Cai Ming around, it will be a big threat to them.
