Huang Xiaolong quickly decided on his journey—to head for Lushan in Western Jiang Province in search of the mysterious black knife marked with the number "three".
He would fly directly to Western Jiang Province from Shanghai and not return to Binhai City for the time being, but he did call his wives to assure them of his safety.
To venture to Western Jiang Province, Huang Xiaolong couldn't bring all the demons and his disciple, Ming Kuan, along with him.
In the end, it was agreed that the Fox Demon Queen, the Snake Demon Queen, the Hedgehog, and the Huangpizi would stay in Shanghai.
Huang Xiaolong imparted the variety of lost cultivation methods and secret techniques of the Luotou people to his disciple Meng Jingling in one fell swoop, telling her to cultivate in Shanghai with peace of mind while Ming Kuan took care of her daily needs. Huang Xiaolong also took the opportunity to teach Ming Kuan a few Taoist techniques.
