## Story

The camp also began to sink in the quicksand because of the change in the underground palace. Dan Jie was upset that all of their equipment would be lost in the sand. She was warned by Wu Xie not to go after it because she will sink in the sand. She didn't listen to him and fell through the sand. She started struggling and screaming which only caused her to sink fast. They attempted to help her and threw her a rope. Everyone grabbed onto the rope and pulled her out of the sand. Wu Xie told them that they couldn't stay there anymore. All of their stuff disappeared in the sand and everybody became hopeless. Meanwhile, Wu Xie was using the map from the mural to figure out which direction they should go. The remaining Documentary Team decided to follow everyone else believing it was their best chance at survival. The team started walking through the hot desert. They rationed supplies

Luo Que was arranging cups on tables at the Xin Yue Restaurant. Zhang Rishan and Yin Nanfeng were watching him nearby. Yin Nanfeng informed Luo Que that he was going to be following Zhang Rishan's orders from on. Luo Que stated that he would only follow orders from her. Yin Nanfeng told Zhang Rishan that Luo Que only listens to people who are stronger than him. So the two engaged in a fight and Zhang Rishan won. Zhang Rishan got a message from Sheng Shengman that listed information about Liang Wan.

Su Wan and Yang Hao were by a school field when Su Wan got a text message saying they were being watched. Soon, the two women that followed them from the Xin Yue Restaurant were in front of them. They decided to split up and Yang Hao attracted two other men that were following them. Su Wan ran away from the two women but then ran into Luo Que who attacked the two women. Meanwhile, Zhang Rishan took care of the two men that followed Yang Hao.

Ma Maonian and Wu Xie started talking away from everyone else. Old Ma told Wu Xie that finding Gutong Jing was his only hope. But he also noticed that Wu Xie was not like everyone else. There was no desire in his eyes like ordinary people.

Back at the Xin Yue Restaurant, Zhang Rishan was feeding his fish when he was updated on the captured men that were following Su Wan and Yang Hao. He went to see them and asked them what family company they were from. They didn't answer so he asked them how long they had been a part of the Nine Clans Association. They answered 10 years and Zhang Rishan recounted that he had been a part of it for over 30 years. He tried to get more information about which family's company they were from but they would not answer. He told them that the matter with Wu Xie going to Gutongjing should be handled by himself and not the other families' companies. Zhang Rishan lamented about the other families saying everyone should obey the rules even though they themselves have not done so. Luo Que got a call from Yin Nanfeng telling them to go on easy on those they have captured. Zhang Rishan wanted all of them to be gathered together and told them they cannot leave until they write the rules of their industry 500 times. Someone was missing from the group and Zhang Rishan went to investigate.

While at his office, he was attacked by someone he thought to be one of the nine families. After a phone call in the middle of the fight he knew it was the tenth family. The attacker fell into his trap that he created while renovating the place. She pulled back her mask and detonated a bomb but Zhang Rishan closed the trap before the bomb did any damage. He had an injury on his hand and when Kan Jian came in to see what was wrong, Zhang Rishan told him not to tell anyone.
