Inside, Su Xing and his companions marvel at the nine palaces' beauty but find them surprisingly unguarded for ruins.

The group discusses their mission to potentially breach the palace's forbiddance. Meanwhile, tensions rise as Ximen Jinlian expresses her disdain for a fallen enemy, hinting at sexual history and rivalry among the Supervoids.

Undeterred, Yan Cao resorts to more advanced tactics, using his First Heavenly Execution Fire Talisman and the Ardent Dragon Rope.
