He uses the tiger talisman to call together all of the former troops to fight with the Xiang clan of the Chu Kingdom against the Qin. Meanwhile Shengqi encounters the Net Trap organization who remind him of his instructions to kill Ge Nie, and threaten that if he does not comply, he may never see his brother again. The Quicksand group continue their search for Wei Zhuang and White Phoenix finds traces that he is alive and met someone, but is possibly not ready to rejoin the group. He grows tired of being controlled by Crimson Snake and attacks her.
