The episode opens with a tense briefing where a woman lays out plans to seize power during an upcoming ceremony. She orders her agents to fully staff the four lookout towers at Phoenix Hall, lock all passages, and use fireworks as a signal to control any disturbances, even if it means killing. Her goal is to strip King Phoenix of her cultivation and imprison her in a secret chamber immediately after the ceremony. With King Phoenix subdued, she intends to revive her Demon Bird Clan. As preparations finalize, the woman asserts that once the ceremony ends, the true power will be hers, signaling a looming takeover.
