## Synopsis

### Imperial Capital Arc

Ning appears on the beach near the Capital along with some of the elders and the Palace Master. She and the elders reunite the master's daughter, Di Xi who is now free from the Empress. She watches as the master uses a woman's corpse to transfer and make Xi a material artist. She and the Elders are ordered to take the initiative for the canonization ceremony of the concubine and wants Di Si to die.

At the Altar during the Canonization Ceremony for the forty-eighth princess of the empire for Di's return, Ning and her warriors begin their assault. She notices the first elder, Yue Hong being overpowered by Chu Qing and reminds her she can't beat him. Hong refuses to listen and battles Qing. Ning then summons her warriors and Li Le to attack. She is hiding alongside with the fourth elder, Shi Lan and Lan uses her ability to activate the poison in Si. With their goal achieved, Ning and Lan plan to withdraw. However, Lan is captured by Qian Shan and Ning is left with no choice to withdraw leaving Lan behind.

At night, Ning and the warriors invade the Ye Le Village killing most of the villagers. She confronts the village Head, Zhai Zhu demanding her to hand over the antidote and the Head responses with an attack of a poisonous butterfly. Ning uses her hidden ability, but the butterfly can detect her killing three of the warriors. Ning manages to get behind Zhu with a knife to her back. Chu Qing, Ye Chen Xi, Tang Zi Yan, and Jiang Lian arrive saving Zhu. Qing prepares to finish off Ning, but the elder managed to escape. Ning is being carried by a fellow warrior in the poisonous forest saying Qing's unfathomable strength may not be under the palace master and if he was, they would never be able to leave their island and must kill him.

Over a month later, Ning invades Li Ye Village again with Shi Lan's apprentice, Mo Chan and watches as Mo Chan slaughters all of the villages including their leader. Ling Ruo Chan arrives in the village alongside with Qing. Mo Chan fails to kill Ruo Chan due to Qing protecting him and hides with Ning in the trees as they watch both men do a funeral for Zhu. Qing discovers the two and fires an attack, but both women manage to get away though Mo Chan got injured by the attack. Ning threatens Mo Chan for what happen, but Mo Chan states that Ning is not qualified to threaten her now she's the new fourth elder though Ning warns her not to ruin their master's plan. Ning and Mo Chan are summoned back to Xuan Nu Palace.

The next night, Ning discovers Qing, Ruo Chan, and Lian have entered the island of Xuan Nu Palace confronting the trio in her ghost form trapping them in an open field filled with poison. However, the trio break Ning's realms and Qing's group are in front of the Xuan Nu Palace's castle and entrance to do battle with the Palace Master.

On a ship, Ning and the sixth elder, Feng Xi tend to the Palace Master who had been defeated by Qing and wounded. The master comments it's the first time in twenty years that she's been beaten by someone that powerful. The master orders the elders to get ready to fire their first shot out of the island and also capture Qing's family alive.

### Empire Versus Xuan Nu Palace Arc

The next day, Ning along with the fifth elder, Bai Ling and the newest first elder, Yue Rong take an army of their warriors to Jing Men to search and capture Qing's family alive by the Palace Master's orders destroying the city.

A couple days later after Qing and Si arrive in Jing Men, Ning and Ling go down to the underground dugout to find Rong fighting Qing and being overwhelmed. As Qing prepares to finish of Rong, Ling surrounds Rong with her boundary deflecting Qing's attack saving her. Ning tells Qing that sooner or later she'll come see him and take her revenge on him. Ning uses her hidden ability for the three of them to retreat.

Ning, Granny Dan, and the warriors arrive at the Chu house breaking down the hidden door ban to continue their search for Qing's family as they brought two master sensors. As they enter in, the sensors can't detect any movement, Ning uses Gu Worms she'd borrowed from Mo Chan. Soon, the sensors pick up a movement pointing right at Qing's family and group. Seven warriors fire a rainbow beam forcing Qing to cast a boundary around everyone appearing to the enemies. Ning orders to attack and capture Qing's family and allies. Qing goes forth cutting down most of the enemies. However, Ning uses her hidden circles she placed all over to make more warriors appear and surround Qing's party. With Qing being blocked and battling Granny Dan, Dan's ability of skulls fall down on to the citizens turning them into skeletal zombies. Qing defeats Dan. As Qing and the group prepare to escape due to the number of enemies and use Lie's stealth, Ning captures Tang Jie, Head of the Tang Family and begins to choke her. Ning makes a deal with Qing to give him a spiritual pill and he'll let her go. She sees that Qing is left behind as his party escapes. Ning believes Qing is a fool and even if he's highly skilled, he won't beat the master warriors facing them alone since she's holding Jie hostage. Qing just laughs and attempts to escape by blasting the ceiling. Ning orders the warriors not to let him go, but see he's gone. However, Qing appears in front of Ning, grabbing her by the neck and choking her as he successfully rescued Jie. Ning is rescued from Qing by Dan and the warriors withdraw as a flood a water enter the house.

Outside Ning's warriors find Jie and Tang Nian being protected by Qing's boundary and tries to break it to capture the Tangs since they failed to take Qing's family. As the boundary is almost broken, Qing arrives and attacks the warriors only for Ning and Dan to block his attack and retreat. Ning and her allies go to Cloud Mountain at Yunjiang River using her hidden techniques to hide her troops as Ling sets up an enchantment.

Some days after Qing had battle the master defeating her and with the Holy Stone seriously injuring Qing, Ning and her troops are ordered by the master to bring Qing to her so the holy stone can kill him and not the master's daughter. Ning is seen with Ling as one of the warriors brings them to Qing's location. Both elders confront Qing. Ning believes Qing has nowhere to go and came out to die, but Ling believes something is off as there's no signs of fighting. Ning and Ling are attacked and killed by him as Qing compliments how clever they are, but being too late as the barrier is broken.
