Synopsis

The chapter begins with the revelation of Prince Shen's death, causing others to doubt Golden Cicada's account of events. Gu Changge, despite appearing severely injured, strategically plants seeds of distrust towards Golden Cicada, before being ambushed by a group, whom he then defeats with ease revealing his true strength. He then frames himself as weak and exhausted, setting the stage for a larger deception and laying blame on the demonic inheritor. The chapter concludes with the reappearance of Golden Cicada and Gu Changge, injured and defeated, to the rest of their group.
