Episode 11 recap: There was mutual suspicion among the crowd fighting over the scales.
Regarding the culprit who had stunned everyone, it was unanimously speculated to be Fat Delicious, the person in charge of distributing food. The big guy, Ghost Dragon, who had a large build, had already been killed by having his throat slit. Zheng Ze Dao asked the participants who had knives as weapons at the scene, and Sickly Yang Zi replied that there were many people with knives, but the wounds were particularly thin, indicating that the culprit had used a specially crafted blade. Some people also suspected the Flower Lady, who was adept at using mesmerizing techniques. The Flower Lady explained that she had just regained consciousness and didn't have the time to commit the crime.
So they began searching for Fat Delicious. They walked out of the secret room and descended a few flights of stairs, only to find Fat Delicious lying on the ground. They woke him up, and Fat Delicious confirmed his innocence. The fact that no one had entered the cave for hundreds of years indicated that the culprit was among the participants. Sickly Yang Zi suggested splitting up and searching for the treasure individually, but Zheng Ze Dao believed that no one should leave the group until the culprit was identified.
Later, suspicion turned towards Sickly Yang Zi. Although he was a suspect, there was no evidence to prove his guilt. So a few people tied him up. Huo Xiao Xie suspected that someone was deliberately provoking conflicts by throwing out useless clues, causing the group to turn against each other. After Sickly Yang Zi was tied up in the hall, when Fat Delicious brought food, Sickly Yang Zi proposed exchanging a clue and then asked Fat Delicious to untie him.
After Sickly Yang Zi was untied, the Flower Lady mesmerized Fat Delicious and used seduction. Fat Delicious confessed that he was not a member of the Huo family. A moment later, when the group found Fat Delicious again, he was already dead with thin strangulation marks on his neck, similar to the cause of death of the big guy, Ghost Dragon. Yan Jing Tian found Lin Wan and explained that they needed to eliminate the remnants of Zhao Si Ye's faction. So they joined forces with Hei San Bian and found where Butler Zhou was hiding. Butler Zhou was outnumbered and, before dying, he revealed that he had informed the Black Dragon Society, and they would arrive at Wang Family Fort the next morning.
The next person to be suspected was Ruo Yun because Fat Delicious wrote Ruo Yun's name before he died. Ruo Yun seemed to have a reason behind it and, seeing everyone pointing fingers at him, he explained that while he did obtain the Blackstone Fire Order through unconventional means, he would never kill anyone. Someone questioned how he obtained it, and Ruo Yun replied that he had been betrothed to the 60-year-old head of the Luo Yun Peak, which left Jin Pan feeling disappointed. Jin Pan had previously had a favorable impression of Ruo Yun, but now it seemed that he had no hope left.
During the night's rest, Zheng Ze Dao asked Huo Xiao Xie to settle a team first while he patrolled the surroundings. Jin Pan expressed his thoughts to Huo Xiao Xie, feeling that Zheng Ze Dao was being too fake. Despite being romantic rivals, Zheng Ze Dao repeatedly vouched for Huo Xiao Xie, putting on a hypocritical facade. Huo Xiao Xie explained that Zheng Ze Dao was his good brother whom he had known since Fengtian, and there was no room for doubt.
When Huo Xiao Xie woke up, he seemed to see a red light. Following the direction of the red light, he indeed found a scale fragment. Ruo Yun also made a discovery. Liang Ba and two others paired up to pressure Ruo Yun into handing over the scale fragment. Ruo Yun refused, and Jin Pan also sided with Ruo Yun. However, they were no match for Liang Ba. Seeing that Jin Pan was losing strength, Ruo Yun handed over the scale fragment.
After Liang Ba obtained the scale fragment, he prepared to wait in the hall for the next step. However, shortly after, the Three Peaks Gang snatched the scale fragment away, leaving Liang Ba with no choice but to return to the cave. Suddenly, the Red Clown proposed joining Liang Ba's group. Initially, Red Clown was teamed up with Yan Chong, but Yan Chong was only focused on pursuing the Flower Lady. While the group was discussing, they felt a dark figure flash by. Liang Ba and the Red Clown followed to investigate and found monster footprints. While they were contemplating, both of them were captured by an unknown force. When Huo Xiao Xie and Zheng Ze Dao discovered their bodies, they saw the same knife marks.
