Xie Lian, Mu Qing, and Feng Xin descend the mountain to visit their families. While visiting Mu Qing’s home, they see Qi Rong driving wildly down the street dragging a bloody sack on the floor. Xie Lian stops him and unties the sack, finding a small bloody child inside. Xie Lian orders Feng Xin to arrest Qi Rong, but Feng Xin accidentally breaks his arm. Xie Lian takes everyone to the palace infirmary. There, the king orders Feng Xin to break his own arm to repent. Xie Lian thinks that this is unfair, but Feng Xin does it anyway. They decide to take the injured child back up the mountain with them, but he somehow causes the sealed ghosts to get unleashed. The guoshi says that the child is born under a star of misfortune. Xie Lian leaves the mountain to train on his own, and during his travels ascends to a god.
