Li Feng starts to regain consciousness. She realises that she is under the table. Chairs and pieces of bowls and cups are messy on the floor. She looks to her right and she sees her husband lying there bleeding. Her eyes darted left and right while trying to get up. She searches the rooms and the kitchen but there is no sign of her son, Lee Guang.
Li Feng takes the money that she accumulates and packs her bag before secretly getting out from the back door. She runs into the dark alley. Even though it is dark, Li Feng runs as if she can see in the dark. She arrives at a gambling house. After paying a sum of money, she is being led to the basement and enters a tunnel. That tunnel leads her outside the city and near a river. Again, she takes out her money to pay the ferryman.
On the boat, the ferryman and another two passengers, an adult and a child. At first, she did not notice any abnormality but as the boat slowly floats away from the riverbank, she sees the passenger's faces. It is Ling Min Zhe and Li Zian.
"What a good night to run is it? No moon. Tonight, is especially dark." Ling Min Zhe sits beside Li Zian and turns their body so that they are facing Li Heng.
"How did you know?" Li Heng's hands are trembling but she forces herself to calm down.
"I have a hunch when I first meet you but it confirms when we are at the market. At that time the mother seed enters my heart and it resonates with you." Li Zian stares straight into Li Heng's eyes. Li Heng's body jolted to the back but there is nowhere to run.
"I did not kill people, stealing or harm anyone. You, Jiangong has no reason to kill me!" Li Heng shouted, she seems to find the bravery to confront Li Zian.
"Resentment cultivation is against the Heaven's will." Ling Min Zhe let out his Nascent Soul's aura. Li Heng feels the pressure and directly kneels on the floor. Li Heng resists the pressure and lifts her head towards Ling Min Zhe. She focuses her eyes on him.
"Ha...Ha...Ha, there are many devil cultivators out there but why did Heaven did not hunt them? The cultivation itself is against Heaven's will."
Li Zian's black purple hair sways by the river breeze, "The Jiangong hunt those whose mess around and increase the level of resentment. As a resentment cultivator, your foundation is already disturbed the level of resentment. Plus...who said cultivation is against Heaven's will?"
Ling Min Zhe stabs Li Heng's heart and Li Zian puts her inside the small cage. With this, all the Hao Clan that related to this disaster has been captured.
Li Zian and Ling Min Zhe stay a few days in the city to destroy all the child seeds planted in people's hearts. The resentment level gradually stabilizes. After that, both directly go back to the Fang Valley because they did not receive any task.

Lee Genji regains consciousness in the morning. he used all his energy to scream for help. The neighbours found him on the floor. Lee Genji asks the neighbours to find his unfilial son and wretched wife. Once he sees them, he will "teach" them every day. From day one to another day until a month passed. There is no sign of his son and wife, with no money, Lee Genji has to go out to find a job but with his condition, who wants to hire him? Eventually, he sold the small cart that his son gave him for money. After that money is finished on alcohol and gambling, he officially starts his debut as a beggar.

Inside the cage, Lee Guang found out his mother is one of the Hao Clan. Li Heng sits in the cage coldly and did not interact with her son like her son is beneath her. She would occasionally talk with Hui.
"Mom! Why did you not tell me?" Lee Guang asked for a thousand times since he saw his mother. He keeps pestering her. Hui just watches the drama, being caged here is very boring. When is the Jiangong wants to release them?
Lee Guang feels indignant that his mother hides her cultivation from him.
"Why should I tell you? So that you can squeeze me dry?" Li Heng said with a poker face.
"What are you talk..." Lee Guang is dumbfounded. What on earth?
Li Heng did not let her son finish her sentence, When I married your father, I thought he will be a good husband that will protect and love me but he is nice to me only for a few months and after that, all I get is abuse. I serve him like a slave but all I get is more beating. Then you came, I thought you will help and protect me but all you do is complain and throw disdain eyes towards me. Did you think I am deaf? Unable to hear your small complaint every day? Did you think it is easy to run away from your father? Did you think I am blind unable to see your disdain while you did nothing except see me being beaten by your father? Luckily, I met my master, she is the one that accepts me and teaches me."
Lee Guang wants to refute but when he sees his mother's face, he swallows his word because that woman in front of him is very strange to him. Lee Guang scoot over towards his master. Hui feels this family drama needs to be level up more, "Then, Zi You why did you not leaves your husband and son? I mean with your cultivation you can go anywhere. Why stay?" Hearing that, Lee Guang's eyes shine bright, inwardly he nods furiously.
Li Heng aka Zi You did not answer and after some time Hui become bored once again, "Tch! so boring. You did not leave them because you are dependent on them. Even though your husband is a scum, he protects you from the harm outside the house. As your son, he is your pillar after your husband. You are too afraid to defy them. No matter how strong you are, you are shackled by that cowardice. Obey the husband and obey the son." Hui let out a snort and laying on his back. he stares at the cage ceiling. Lee Guang peeks at his mother, "It is true?" Li Heng turns her back on the duo, her eyes are empty.

Li Zian and Ling Min Zhe return to the Fang Valley and they are welcome by Fang An and the spirits. Li Zian gives Chu Ju the cage that holding Hui, Zi You, and Lee Guang. She needs to rest properly before summoning the underworld.
The next day, Ao Tian comes to the Fang Valley. He is an old man that has travel to many places and sees many things but this Fang valley is too beautiful. The buildings' design and the landscape are breathtaking. The spiritual energy here is so thick, you can just inhale the spiritual energy without needing to cultivate it. His niece and nephew will be able to grow into an expert in no time. He did not make a bad decision by sending them to serve Master Fang Zian. Ao Tian nodded his head a bit while walking towards the main hall to meet Li Zian.
Chu Ju leads Ao Tian to meet with Fang Zian. Entering the main hall, Chu Ju sees Li Zian that is sitting at the main seat. Ao Tian cup his fist and bows towards Li Zian. Li Zian nodded and ask Ao Tian to take a sit.
"Master Ao Tian, I am sorry because you have to get involved once again with the Hao Clan."
Master Ao Tian waves his sleeve, "Master Fang Zian, it is an honour to be able to help you. There is nothing to be sorry about, you did not make me fight or meet the Hao Clan, you just asked for help in cleaning some ghosts. Helping you has risen my Ao Clan reputation among the exorcist clan."
"The reason I called you here is to help me in restoring the level of resentment in the Wu City." Zhong takes out a rectangular box and shows it to Master Ao Tian. Master Ao Tian scans the content of the box. He glances at Zhong and Zhong nodded at him.
Master Ao Tian stands up and grabs a handful of green seeds, "This is artificial body seeds." Ao Tian returns the seeds into the box before sitting back and turn his head towards Li Zian.
"My last task is at Wu City, it is a challenging task. We found three of the Hao Clan running rampant there. With some effort, we manage to subdue the three of them but there are some effects..."
