Jixia Chapter 4: Jixia Secrets
Jixia Chapter 4: Jixia Secrets is the fourth main-story chapter of the Jixia arc in Honor of Kings: World. The chapter is identified in current Chinese walkthrough coverage as 稷下秘辛 and is split into two major quest segments: Guiling Disturbance and Mystery of the Godpattern. It pushes the story into Guiling Return Mausoleum and the Forbidden Zone, with Dongfang Yao and Xi Shi acting as the chapter's main companions.
Before Starting Chapter 4
Raise Yuan Liu Level to 17, which is the chapter's confirmed level gate.
Finish a Xi Shi Resonance breakthrough first if you have not done it yet, because the next boss stretch is easier with a prepared support build.
Upgrade a preferred Ningwu weapon if materials are available.
Equip the newly unlocked Inscription System setup before leaving the academy.
Guiling Disturbance
Teleport to the academy, speak with Dongfang Yao, and then travel to Dongyunluo Highland to begin the chapter proper.
Enter Guiling Return Mausoleum with Yao and Xi Shi, then clear the early sequence of standard enemies and elites.
Drop through the gate interior to trigger the Godpattern-Infected Gatebreaker boss fight. The fight is heavily tilted in the party's favor because Xi Shi groups enemies while Yao holds the front line.
Chase the escaping target deeper into Guiling, moving through small combat packs, a moving bridge, and multiple hidden-bridge rooms.
Use the pressure plates and visible guidance lines to cross the invisible bridge sections leading first to Xi Shi and then to Yao.
Ride the elevator up, open the large door, watch the mural scene, and finish the elite swordsman encounter that closes the first half of the chapter.
Mystery of the Godpattern
Travel from the academy side toward the Forbidden Zone and activate the nearby waystone before pushing onward.
Follow Yao through the nighttime stealth route. Patrol robots can be avoided by crouching in grass, but being spotted does not fail the chapter because the spawned enemies can simply be defeated.
Use the scan function and the quest marker to move through rooftops, ledges, and a long corridor into the archive interior.
Search the archive shelves on both floors for the required clues, using the elevator to move between levels and the highlighted yellow doors to stay on the main route.
Descend into the lower archive chambers, collect the disc from the white pedestal, and rotate the mechanism until the blue energy line connects correctly through the wall conduits.
Read the recovered records, trigger the final conversation sequence with Yao, and close the chapter's investigation arc.
Why Chapter 4 Matters
It is the chapter that properly introduces Guiling Return Mausoleum as a story dungeon rather than a background region.
It establishes the Forbidden Zone as a live investigation site tied to academy secrets and Godpattern research.
It turns Dongfang Yao and Xi Shi into a stable story pair for the rest of the early Jixia arc.
It adds the first major archive-search and stealth-heavy chapter structure to the launch story route.
