Prince Fusu leaves the Junior Sage Village, with a reminder to Fu Nina about his edict on the use of written language. Tianming, Shaoyu and Shi Lan still in disguise, appear to have reached the centre of the Mirage where Yunzhong Jun is making an elixir of immortality. Unfortunately they are recognized, and it appears as if Moon Goddess recognized Tianming first. Shih Lan uses a Mount Wushu technique to help the three of them escape Yunzhong who tries to stop them; Moon Goddess stays a passive observer the entire time. At the prison the Six Swords Slaves press their attack on Ge Nie and Wei Zhuang who are only just able to keep them at bay. The guard from the Zhao Kingdom who Dao Zhi spoke to earlier (Episode 5-06) releases the metal cage to enable Dao Zhi and Pao Ding to escape, and is then speared by the other guards and dies. At the last moment, Wei Zhuang cuts the suspending chain, and the metal cage free-falls into a deep pit with the rebels and General Zhang Han on board, leaving the Six Swords Slaves behind with their wounds.
