Episode 7 recap: Han Yi Xian saves Zhao Ling Er, while Li Xiao Yao is trapped in a mountain stronghold.
Li Xiao Yao and Lin Yue Ru repeatedly inquire about Zhao Ling Er's whereabouts, but the Snake Demon claims ignorance. Seizing the moment of their hesitation, the Snake Demon cuts off its tail and disappears from Li Xiao Yao's sight. The two continue their search and reach the depths of a cave, where they discover a hidden chamber. Lin Yue Ru gently opens the door.
Inside the chamber, they find many young women crying out for help. These are the people who have been missing from the Lin family stronghold for some time. Lin Yue Ru asks if they know the Snake Demon's intentions, and one of the women reveals that the Snake Demon captures women to absorb their energy. Li Xiao Yao and Lin Yue Ru venture further into the cave and suddenly come across an open space.
The area is lavishly decorated, and a red-clothed Fox Demon appears before them, followed closely by the Snake Demon. The Fox Demon scolds them for trespassing into forbidden territory, but Li Xiao Yao is only concerned about Zhao Ling Er's whereabouts. The Fox Demon claims to have never captured Zhao Ling Er, and a fierce battle ensues between the two sides. Li Xiao Yao becomes furious and quickly subdues the two monsters.
Meanwhile, Zhao Ling Er regains consciousness alone in the wilderness, and her lower body has returned to its human form. A Nu finds her and intends to take her back to the city when a disheveled monster suddenly appears. A Nu pushes it aside, enraging the monster, which bites A Nu's arm. A Nu forcefully shakes it off and drives the monster away with a demon-slaying staff, but she faints next to Zhao Ling Er due to the injury on her arm.
As Li Xiao Yao and Lin Yue Ru exit the cave, they are met by Lin Tian Nan at the cave entrance. Seeing that Lin Yue Ru is determined to find Zhao Ling Er, Lin Tian Nan gives her the family's martial arts manual, "Qian Kun Yi Zhi," for self-defense.
When Zhao Ling Er wakes up again, she finds herself lying in a thatched cottage with an unfamiliar woman. A female doctor is busy attending to them. Upon seeing Zhao Ling Er awake, the doctor recounts the story of how Zhao Ling Er was rescued. Master Han Yi Xian went out to gather herbs and saved the two unconscious individuals. They are now in Baihe Village, located deep in the Guoyin Mountains.
Li Xiao Yao and Lin Yue Ru also arrived at Guoyin Mountain when they were suddenly surrounded by a group of Corpse Demons, and a fight broke out between the two sides. Lin Yue Ru discovered that the so-called Corpse Demons were villagers in disguise. After subduing the impostors, Lin Yue Ru asked about the reason for their ghostly appearance. Before they could explain, one of the villagers used a powder to incapacitate them and then tied them up and took them back to the stronghold.
When Han Yi Xian returned to the thatched cottage, he found that Zhao Ling Er had already regained consciousness. He explained that the unfamiliar woman had been bitten by a Corpse Demon while trying to save Zhao Ling Er. Zhao Ling Er felt guilty and decided to use a resurrection spell to save the unfamiliar woman. After a burst of effort, A Nu suddenly sat up and bit Zhao Ling Er's arm forcefully before Han Yi Xian could stop her.
After the treatment was completed, it was expected that Zhao Ling Er would be affected by the Corpse Poison. However, contrary to expectations, Zhao Ling Er was unharmed, and the poison on A Nu's face gradually receded. Han Yi Xian realized that Zhao Ling Er belonged to the Immortal Realm and asked her to save his daughter, who was being controlled by the Corpse Poison.
After Han Yi Xian took Zhao Ling Er away, A Nu also regained consciousness. Seeing that she was completely healed, she quietly left the cottage. Li Xiao Yao, Lin Yue Ru, and Liu Jin Yuan were captured and taken to Baihe Stronghold. The leaders of the stronghold suggested keeping some of them for the head leader's wedding celebration.
It turned out that the head leader of Baihe Stronghold was Han Yi Xian's daughter. After being imprisoned for a while, the leaders of the stronghold prepared to choose one of them for the unconscious head leader's wedding celebration. Liu Jin Yuan pretended to have tuberculosis and kept coughing, which made the leaders hesitant. Lin Yue Ru constantly instigated and in the end, Li Xiao Yao was chosen.
