Duanmu Rong sees the broken jade that Tianming wears and suspects the jade to be a royal item. They run into the Qin soldiers and fight with them. The poisoned Mohists are no match for the army. Gao Jianli shows up and kills Canglang. Wei Zhuang beats Gao Jianli but doesn't chase the Mohists. Duanmu Rong finds it impossible to meet the other leaders, so she sends the children into the Forbidden Land. Herself is captured by Yinfu. The other leaders gather in the Mohist Core, the only place free from Wei Zhuang. Wei Zhuang sends soldiers into the Central Rotunda to try the traps, and all of them are killed.
