When Beiai Pass comes under attack from a horde of demons, Xu Jianshan refuses to borrow spiritual power again or expand the scope of his sister's guarantee. Instead, he helps arrange supplies and evacuations. In the end, an audit verifies his actual debt and settles the account. Illegally collected charges are refunded, the deductions from his sister's future lifespan are stopped, and the old contract is officially terminated once the debt is cleared. Xu Jianshan does not recover the cultivation base he once borrowed, while his sister chooses to study medicine. They each embark on a new life, no longer sacrificing one person's well-being to advance the other's cultivation.
