Word of Honor

But, he recognizes his martial arts technique as one from the Four Seasons Manor, and suspecting his true identity, decides to follow him. Zhang Cheng Ling offers his name card to Zi Shu as he considers him a new found friend and would like to help him.

Wen Ke Xing asks Zhou Xue if he really wanted to get into something he had no idea about by accepting Zhang Cheng Ling. Zhou Xue guesses that the return of Ghost Valley and the sect's massacre meant that they were after something.

Zhang Cheng Ling, Zhou Xue and Wen Ke Xing are surrounded by the beggar gang, who asks Cheng Ling to follow them to the Five Alliance. Zhou Xue fights them off and takes Cheng Ling away.

Ao Lai Zi and Shen Shen have a battle of words where he informs him that the third brother, Lu Tai Chong of Danyang Sect of the Five Lakes Alliance had himself personally entrusted his remaining disciples to him.

Zhou Xu fends off the attackers, and Wen Ke Xing wakes up in time to kill the rest of them. He also murders the man controlling the drug men, obtaining the soul winding box, a treasure of the Hanging Ghost from him.

Gao Chong is enraged when Cheng Ling refuses to say anything about the Glazed Armor. Zhou Xu helps Cao Wei Ning pay for his meal as his purse as well as Lao Wen's had been stolen by Fang Bu Zhi.

She disguises as Yu Feng, leader of Mount Hua Sect and visits the Beggar Gang, where she supplies Elder Huang with information to drive a deeper wedge between themselves and the Five Lakes Alliance.

Zhou Xu reveals his wounds to both Lao Wen and Ye Bai Yi. Bai Yi suggests taking away his martial arts and then removing the nails as it would help and keep him alive for ten years. Ah' Xu disagrees. Lao Wen tries to convince him to choose the path to no avail. He recalls all his past his choices that had lead him to the moment where he was too late to save him.

Gu Xiang attempts to trick Xiao Lian into getting frozen by a special nail to switch her for Tragicomic Ghost, but is interrupted by Cao Wei Ning's arrival.

Ah' Xu and he manage to save Cheng Ling, but are thrown into a cave with drug men created by Long Xiao.

Ye Bai Yi presses Long Que to reveal the secret of the armory as he was Rong Xuan's master. He had run away from Mount Changming after Ye Bai Yi had stopped him from practising the Six Combined Cultivation technique, which he deemed to be dangerous. Back at Yueyang sect, a gloating Zhao Jing speaks with the tablets of everyone who had passed away.

He also informs that he had written two books regarding the mechanical inventions he had created. Zhang Cheng Ling takes over the task of continuing Longyuan Cabinet and Four Seasons Manor's legacy.

The ghosts are hesitant to commit the crime as the sect had never done anything to them, but they are threatened into doing it.

Gu Xiang and Cao Wei Ning sees Gao Xiao Lian being taken away by Tao Hong and Lv Liu in disguise.

He brushes off their concerns and Changing ghost and the others decide to leave, accusing Zhao Jing of using lowly tricks to corner them.

Ye Bai Yi arrives late at night to the Four Seasons Manor, but he is intercepted by Zhou Zi Shu on his way. Bai Yi reveals the true identity of Wen Ke Xing as the Chief of the Ghost Valley. Ah' Xu tells him that he was aware of the fact, even if it was not for long.

In the North, a severely wounded Han Ying, commander of the Window of Heaven, informs Prince Jin that his team had been attacked by the Scorpions, leaving everyone with him dead. Duan Peng Ju meets Zhao Jing to discuss about the whereabouts of the Glazed Armor, obtaining his favor for Prince Jin.

The Scorpion King seemingly captures Gu Xiang and Cao Wei Ning. Mo Huai Yang, the leader of Gentle Wind Sword Sect confesses to working with Zhao Jing, but has his own motives for doing it. Ah' Xu is rescued by his juniors from the Window of Heaven and Lao Wen brings the Ghost Valley to attack Duan Peng Ju.

Ah' Xu learns that Cheng Ling had come to know about Lao Wen. He attempts to reach Lao Wen to warn him, but instead over hears about the Chief of the Ghost Valley being cornered by the Five Lakes Alliance.

Xi'er lets Qian Qiao free, giving her the antidote to the Slave Voodoo venom and asking her to escape with Yu Qiu Feng. At the Heroes Conference, Zhao Jing and the rest discuss about who has to lead the Siege of Ghost Valley.

Ye Bai Yi instructs Lao Wen to close down Ghost Valley forever and the crowd disperses peacefully. The victors have drinks where Lao Wen reveals how he had managed to convince everyone around him to get along with the plan. Zhou Zi Shu is happy for him, but in pain that he only had a few more days left to survive.

Cao Wei Ning begs his master Mo Huai Yang to let him marry Gu Xiang, persistent that she was good. Huai Yang seemingly agrees, but snaps Cao Wei Ning's neck, killing him. He orders his disciples to murder the rest of the Ghost Valley. The Scorpion assassins watch the battle of Mount Qingya from afar.

Bei Yuan tells Ah' Xu that Prince Jin was not after the armory, but after a secret left by his tribe about a place which would help the country's occupants thrive well for a long time. The secret place was rumored to have a key belonging to six people with different surnames. Ah' Xu's father had tried to find its location along with his friend, Qin Huai Zhang.
