Tianming ignores Yunzhong Jin's sword in his attack, and the tables are turned. Shaoyu's attack sends Yunzhong flying back to the next room where the 9-headed mechanical snake lies dormant. Shaoyu frees Shi Lan but stumbles, feeling the effects of taking five Ghost Manipulation Pills and the Immortality Pill. Yunzhong Jun summons more zombies into the room, but in response, Shi Lan activates the mechanical snake. The beast attacks everything and everyone. Eventually the floor collapses and the machine, Shaoyu and Shi Lan all fall into a void below. The effort of the battle with Yunzhong Jin, the fall, and the effects of the Ghost Manipulation Pills are too much for Shaoyu’s body. Shi Lan discovers that Shaoyu has lost his sight and his eyes are bleeding. Meanwhile, Star Wraith reveals that while the Moon Goddess is locked in the Soul Interchange with Yuer, her body is damaged by the Severed Soul Pill which is 10 times stronger than the Ghost Manipulation Pill. He uses his puppet technique on Yuer to control the Moon Princess and to try and gain access to the secrets within the magic music box. Tianming finally reaches the room with Yuer and attacks Star Wraith. While still controlling Yuer, Star Wraith duels Tianming with one hand.
