• Chen Xin arrived, blocked the sect’s disciples, and agreed to guard Li Zhexian for half an hour while he made one final attempt.
• Li Zhexian used the last wine mist and his Soul Power to break through the seal’s suppression, sending cyan Sword Qi across the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

• Li Zhexian returned to his room and began writing a letter to Uncle Jian, insisting to himself that it was not a farewell letter.

• As Li Zhexian opened the courtyard door to leave, Shi Potian roared that Li Zhexian would not leave the sect alive.
