Yanhui argues with the elves, and Huan Xiaoyan, tortured by Phantom King, comes out of the ring, and uses magic to let the elves know that Tianyao is the Dragon King. Master Suying blamed Bai Xiaosheng for his ineffectiveness. Bai Xiaosheng told him that he had found a way to find the secret treasure, so he sent him to find the secret treasure again.
Tianyao rescued the mad Phantom King with Flaming Dragon Fan and brought him back to his senses. The Phantom King passed away and left the ring of the Phantom Clan to Xiaoyan. At this time, Suying exchanged her powers for Lu Musheng's life, and forced him to take the pill. Lu Musheng remembered all kinds of past and Suying, but still couldn't forget the tragic death of Yunxi.
Tianyao rescued the elves and immediately went back to Dragon Valley to find Yanhui, but found that only Huan Xiaoyan was left in a coma. Bai Xiaosheng brought Yanhui back to the Hall, the Lord of Dark Aura brought Yan back to life, planted a black flower on her head, and asked her to get the Heart Protecting Scale within three months, otherwise she would die when the flower withered.
Tianyao escorted Yanhui all the way back, but was found, when he was in a stalemate, he ran into Zhuli and Lingfei and others who were chasing after him. Yanhui came up a plan, using Tianyao to hold Lingfei.
When Yanhui went back to fetch the Heart Protecting Scale, Zhuli and Huan Xiaoyan accidentally obtained the compass left by Xue Lin to inhale the black energy. They are all sucked into the geomantic compass.
Bai Xiaosheng took the Yanhui back to the place where the screen was, and told him that if he wanted to obtain "The Ghostly Eulogy", he had to work together with a pair of Taoist-spirit couple to unsolve the three screens. In the process, Bai Xiaosheng was gradually attracted by Yanhui's hard work.
While Zhuli and Huan Xiaoyan were still distressed about opening the compass, the compass flew away from Zhuli's hand. As they were about to enter the secret room but was blocked by Zhao Yu. Zhao deliberately smashed the geomantic compass.
Maobijing is obsessed with Qingqiu's rules, "The Ghostly Eulogy" requires people from the Xuan Yao and Xuan Yao clans to practice at the same time, and even asks for the two to get married. When Yanhui hesitates, Tianyao agrees to the marriage.
When Zhuli and Huan Xiaoyan were monitioring the translation process of "The Ghostly Eulogy", Zhao Yu came and said that Chang Lan wanted to summon Zhuli. Zhuli left, leaving Huan Xiaoyan alone at the scene. Not long after their departure, a mysterious person stunned Huan Xiaoyan and stole the half-translated "The Ghostly Eulogy".
Tianyao and Yanhui busy on preparing their wedding. Meanwhile, Bai Xiaosheng is missing. Zhuli tells Tianyao and Yanhui that Xiaosheng will be back when their wedding ceremony is ended as he does not want to see they get married...
Bai Xiaosheng and Tianyao was hunted down by the Qingqiu clan. Fortunately, Feng Qianshuo, dressed as a monster, helped them and took them to a hidden place. It turns out that Feng Qianshuo restored the Wangyu Tower in Qingqiu. Tianyao approached Feng Qianshuo privately, and joined The Flower Bulletin under the name of Yanhui.
Yanhui and Tianyao came to the place where Chenyi lived. Tianyao asked Yanhui if the jealousy he showed in the face of Yinghuo's frivolity to him before was because he was moved by him again, and Yanhui nervously avoided it.
Yanhui woke up and saw Tianyao, she wept with joy and confessed her love loudly. Bai Xiaosheng told Tianyao and Yanhui that Dark Phantom had been injured. Tianyao remembered that he had dispersed a cloud of dark aura when he was in the Dragon Valley. It turned out that Dark Phantom came to protect his heart and was injured by Tianyao.
Changlan deliberately provokes a battle between the two clans. Yanhui and others discuss the plan to stop imminent war. Everyone joined forces, took back Changlan's power and broke the visual spell that Changlan had cast, restoring peace to the Qingqiu.
Zhuli confessed to Huan Xiaoyan, and Huan Xiaoyan went to Yanhui to discuss it in a panic. The three chatted about Qingqiu wedding customs together. Tianyao plans to retrieve his body alone. Knowing Tianyao's intention, Yanhui expressed that she would accompany him to find the body.
Lingxiao brings Yanhui back to Chenxing Mountain, and is trapped on the Starfall Terrace. Suying wants to kill Yanhui. Lingxiao resignedly damages her Heart Protecting Scale with his Soul-Annihilating Whip to destroy her spiritual power.
After Lingxiao left, Lingfei, who was bewitched by The Dark Phantom because of hatred, came secretly and start killing, Zichen rushed to stop Lingfei but failed. Yanhui was entrenched. Under the magma,Tianyao felt the Heart Protecting Scale is getting weaker, he then activated the Life-Swapping Spell, in turn to save Yanhui.
Yanhui jumps in the Obsidian River, shocking the world. She directly rushes into the Dragon Vein Formation at the foot of Sanchong Mountain, and rescues Tianyao. He breaths weakly since he used his Life-Swapping Spell and finally turned into a dragon egg.
When Yanhui completely collects dragon consciousness, she brings it back to Qingqiu. The Leader Chenyi tells her that she needs to wait for him to be reborn, and when he would wake up, that is written in the stars.
To help Tianyao recover his memory soon, Yanhui take him back to the Tongluo Village and Dragon Valley. Zhuli and Huan Xiaoyan are engaged, and Xiange is pregnant, Feng Qianshuo decided to drink and celebrate together.
Yanhui noticed the abnormality in Tongluo Village, and thought it was related to the dark aura. Unexpectedly, she met the lost and delirious Master Qiyun on the road. Lingxiao found out that Master Qiyun had been hit by the Frost Blossom Technique, and Tianyao used fire magic to resolve, but he couldn't succeed.
Tianyao was exhausted and unconscious, and Ling Xiao took care of him, while Yanhui helped Cha to absorb the dark aura. Waking up, Cha immediately went for Master Qiyun. Tianyao casted spell to dispel Qiyun's Frost Blossom Technique and unknowingly activated the Death Curse.
The Spirit Dragon Flame swept away the dark aura in Dark Phantom's minds eye. In anger, Dark Phantom made Bai Xiaosheng his own puppet force him to bewitch Suying. Suying, now bewitched, goes to Qingqiu, kills The Great Leader of Qingqiu, and takes Huan Xiaoyan and Lu Musheng away together.
When Dark Phantom learned that Xuelin was studying her own skills and fell in love with Chenyi, he felt resentful, attacked the two and spread the plague everywhere. Fuyin wanted to gain more power, so he went to the Dragon Valley to harvest evil dragon's scales and extract his inner core, but was injured by Tianyao.
Because of the change of the stars, Ling Xiao decides to investigate Dark Phantom's mind's eye. Although Dark Phantom's body is destroyed, it could be formed with the dark aura. It is much more difficult to fight against him. Dark Phantom wants to lure Ling Xiao, but finds that Ling Xiao is determined and would not be confused by him. In order to stop the invasion of Dark Phantom's army, Ling Xiao sacrifices himself to prevent them from the dart aura.
Yanhui returns to the Dragon Valley, and everyone knows she and Tianyao are still struggling so they want to help them fight against Dark Phantom. Because of the lack of the Heart Protecting Scale, Tian Yao is seriously injured by Dark Phantom and is dying. Everyone rushes to heal Tianyao, while Yanhui tries her best to resist his heaviest attack. However, Dark Phantom absorbs all the hatred in this world so he becomes powerful and also defeats Yanhui.
