Recruiters press Yara to join the Nightfeather Sect, touting equal treatment and rapid progress—marrow purification, spiritual-root reshaping, even promises of immortality within years. Skeptical at first, Yara warms when a senior names her his cherished disciple and the sect's sixth brother, an alchemist, vouches he can handle treatments. The scene turns grave when they reveal Moses's spiritual root is tainted by demonic energy. Yara volunteers to have her supreme spiritual root removed to save him, accepting she may never cultivate again. The group prepares to depart for Nightfeather Sect, but Yara's future and Moses's recovery remain unresolved.
