He tells him to show his power to him if he wants to take away Ning Qi. Ning Qi orders Golden Feather Troops to fight with the people of Phoenixes Sect.
Sun Hong tells Ning Cheng that he’s going to know who he is. He takes out the knife to attack him. Feng Zhiwei shows up with Gu Nanyi. She sees Ning Cheng stabbing Sun Hong. She calls Sun Hong older brother when she runs to him.
Feng Zhiwei pushes Ning Cheng aside. She asks Sun Hong if he actually killed Ning Shizheng. He tells her that he wished to kill Ning Shizheng. She wonders why Ning Cheng came to Phoenixes Sect. Sun Hong tells Feng Zhiwei that Ning Yi couldn’t stand the people of Great Cheng.

Ning Cheng explains to Feng Zhiwei that Sun Hong refused to give Ning Qi to him. She yells at him and asks him for the evidence that her older brother concealed Ning Qi. He claims that he came to look into Phoenixes Sect because he got the message.
Feng Zhiwei asks Ning Cheng what he’s going to do if he cannot find Ning Qi. He tells her that he will find the truth. She mentions Ning Shizheng killed her mother and her younger brother. She reminds Ning Cheng that Sun Hong is her last family.
