Fighting alongside Lu Xueqi, he manages to defeat the terrifying creature, but the victory quickly turns bitter when the Ghost King captures Taotie and turns his blade against Gui Li. Their deadly clash is only stopped when You Ji intervenes.
As chaos spreads, Dao Xuan and Tian Buyi mysteriously disappear. Gui Li eventually reunites with his former master, only to discover that Dao Xuan has been corrupted by demonic power. Together with Tian Buyi and Lu Xueqi, he is forced into a heartbreaking battle against the possessed leader. They manage to stop him, but the victory comes at a devastating price—Tian Buyi sacrifices his life.
With the Four Spirits Blood Array finally completed, the Ghost King absorbs the power of the Bright King and launches a devastating assault on Qingyun. With the world on the verge of destruction, Gui Li takes up the legendary Immortal-Slaying Sword and faces the Ghost King in a final battle.
After a fierce struggle, Gui Li succeeds in defeating him and preventing the world’s destruction. When the dust finally settles, Lu Xueqi eventually finds Zhang Xiaofan, who has chosen a quiet life in seclusion at Grass Temple Village.
