The episode opens with a group discussing how demons are actually harmless and friendly toward humans, contradicting Seth's past claims that they are cruel and bloodthirsty. They accuse Seth of lying to scare humans and monopolize demon cultivation secrets for selfish gain. Suddenly, the demons begin slaughtering humans, but a voice warns that this is a lie meant to damage human-demon relations and threatens punishment for spreading such rumors. Seth Stroud then appears unexpectedly, facing hostility from both humans and demons for deceiving humanity about demons. Despite this, Seth refuses to explain his actions and lifts a powerful barrier, prompting a tense standoff with no resolution as someone orders him to kneel and not leave.
