Summary[]

As Xie Lian and San Lang are trapped in their hiding spots, Nan Feng suddenly causes an explosion to distract the woman in black. After exchanging blows, Nan Feng runs away with the two women following. Xie Lian, San Lang and A-Zhao manage to go to the palace and search for the Shanyue Fern, when Xie Lian suddenly notices another person.

It turns out Tian Sheng has followed them to the kingdom along with a few others. San Lang finds the Shanyue Fern and applies it to the bitten area of Xie Lian's hand and instantly, his hand heals. Excited, the rest of the group disperses further to search for more when a scream rings through the air.

The scream comes from a man's face poking out of the mud. The face tells them that he was caught by the Banyue soldiers and was buried here to be used as a fertilizer for the Shanyue Fern. Despite Xie Lian's best efforts, one of the merchants runs forward and is immediately killed by the man's tongue. The man cackles at how delicious the traveler tastes.

The commotion alerts the Banyue soldiers and their general, who arrive to take the group hostage. This causes the man in the mud to go ballistic, begging the general to let him go home. The general flings his mace, unearthing what's left of the man's body: the remnants of a skeleton.

The general, named Kemo, leads them to the Sinner's Pit. The general orders A-Zhao and Tian Sheng to be thrown into the pit, but suddenly A-Zhao charges forward to fight Kemo, only to be tossed back and down the Sinner's Pit. Xie Lian tries to appease the general before he can take Tian Sheng, speaking in Banyue tongue. This only incenses him further though, as Kemo finds out that Xie Lian is from the Central Plains.

Just as Xie Lian decides to jump in first, he spots San Lang, standing silently at the edge of the pit before he willingly lets himself fall inside. Soundless words emit from San Lang's mouth as he falls, Xie Lian only shocked at San Lang's actions.
