• The elders secretly carried out their investigations, then gathered after two days to report their findings and reached a conclusion that was not revealed.

After concluding that the storage belt was sound but the Jade Scale Dog Spirit Bone Set was responsible for the six missing bones, Tang Xiao and the Clear Sky Sect elders went to meet the Heaven Dou Imperial Family. They arrived at Xue Luochuan’s inn and insisted on seeing the emperor immediately.

• Tang Xiao and the Clear Sky Sect elders agreed to visit the Heaven Dou Imperial Family the next day to discuss the missing spirit bones.
• Xue Luochuan and Dugu Bo discussed whether the Clear Sky Sect might be delaying the matter to keep the bones, and Dugu Bo argued that doing so would provoke too many powerful forces.

• Yu Yuanzhen, Ning Fengzhi, Gu Rong, and Chen Xin arrived to join the meeting about the six Jade Scale Dog Spirit Bones.

At a meeting of the Heaven Dou Imperial Family, Clear Sky Sect, Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, Tang Xiao revealed that the six Jade Scale Dog Spirit Bones had vanished. The revelation stunned the assembled leaders and left Xue Ye and the others to decide how to respond.

• Tang Xiao apologized and claimed the Clear Sky Sect was also a victim, but some attendees suspected it was an excuse to keep the Spirit Bones.
• The hall fell silent as Xue Ye's expression darkened and he considered Tang Xiao's revelation.

Xue Ye, Yu Yuanzhen, and Ning Fengzhi challenged Tang Xiao's claim that the six Jade Scale Dog Spirit Bones had mysteriously vanished while under the Clear Sky Sect's protection. The leaders demanded proof and compensation, and the chapter ended with Yu Yuanzhen pressing the six Clear Sky Sect Titled Douluo to swear on their martial souls that they had not taken the bones.

• Yu Yuanzhen accused Tang Xiao and the Clear Sky Sect of using the bones' disappearance as an excuse to keep them.

• Xue Ye and Yu Yuanzhen demanded that the six Clear Sky Sect elders swear on their martial souls and said the sect must take responsibility for the loss.

The Clear Sky Sect faced demands to prove it had not concealed the missing Spirit Bones, so Tang Xiao and the five elders agreed to swear upon their Martial Souls. Tang Xiao completed his oath and impressed the hall, but Xue Ye still required the elders to swear as well.

• Yu Yuanzhen and Ning Fengzhi backed the demand that the Clear Sky Sect swear upon its Martial Souls, and Tang Xiao asked for time to confer with the five elders.

• Tang Xiao summoned the Clear Sky Hammer and its nine soul rings, displaying the sect's power to the hall.
• Tang Xiao swore that he had neither kept the six Jade Scale Dog Spirit Bones nor allowed anyone in the sect to conceal them, and a burst of black radiance followed his oath.
• Xue Ye said he believed Tang Xiao but insisted that the five elders swear upon their Martial Souls too.

Tang Jie and the other Clear Sky Sect elders swore on their Martial Souls that they had not hidden or embezzled the missing Jade Scale Dog Spirit Bones. Their display of strength convinced the other factions of the Clear Sky Sect’s innocence, but Xue Ye maintained that the sect still had to take responsibility for the loss.

• Tang Jie summoned his Clear Sky Hammer and swore that he had neither concealed the six spirit bones nor protected anyone who had stolen them.
• The Third, Fifth, Sixth, and Seventh Elders each swore on their Martial Souls, joining Tang Xiao and Tang Jie in proving the Clear Sky Sect’s innocence.

• Yu Yuanzhen said the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan shared Heaven Dou Empire’s position and would cooperate in investigating the missing spirit bones.

After the Jade Scale Dog Spirit Bone Set vanished while under the Clear Sky Sect’s protection, Tang Xiao agreed to compensate the other forces but argued that his sect lacked the resources. The four factions instead joined together to demand an explanation from the Heaven Dou Auction House, leaving both sides in a tense standoff.

• Yu Yuanzhen, Xue Ye, and Ning Fengzhi demanded that the Clear Sky Sect compensate them for the lost spirit bones.
• Tang Xiao said the Clear Sky Sect had limited resources and proposed seeking compensation from the Heaven Dou Auction House.
• The Clear Sky Sect, Heaven Dou Empire, Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan agreed to confront the auction house, with the other three forces sending representatives to support the Clear Sky Sect.
• Tang Xiao and the other elders arrived at the Heaven Dou Auction House alongside representatives of the allied forces, drawing crowds and spreading news across the spirit masters’ world.
• The Clear Sky Sect accused the auction house of selling a flawed spirit bone set, while the auction house denied responsibility and defended itself, bringing the two sides to the brink of a fight.

The Heaven Dou Auction House executives swore they had not known the Jade Scale Dog Spirit Bones would disappear, and Ouyang Hongwen used their oaths to accuse the Clear Sky Sect of making a baseless demand for compensation. The auction house appealed to the onlookers for support as Tang Xiao and the elders seethed, while Sword Douluo Chen Xin and Prince Xue Xing privately regretted the Clear Sky Sect’s conduct.

• Ouyang Hongwen, Zhuge Jin, Elder Zheng, and other Heaven Dou Auction House executives swore upon their Martial Souls that they had not known the spirit bones would disappear or plotted to harm the bidders.

The Clear Sky Sect’s dispute with Heaven Dou Auction House ended with the sect receiving compensation but losing most of it to the other factions, along with resources, favors, and reputation. Xue Ye, Ning Fengzhi, and Yu Yuanzhen concluded that the Jade Scale Dog Spirit Bone Set had probably vanished because of a hidden problem and suspected Spirit Hall had orchestrated the incident.

• Tang Xiao and the Clear Sky Sect intimidated the crowd with their Titled Douluo auras as Spirit Hall supporters stirred up hostility against them.
• Heaven Dou Auction House agreed to pay the Clear Sky Sect and three allied factions a total of 400 million Gold Soul Coins, while insisting that Du Changxiao had already received the auction proceeds.

• Tang Xiao and the other Clear Sky Sect members returned to their sect, which remained weakened and unable to end its ban on leaving the mountains.
• Xue Ye, Ning Fengzhi, and Yu Yuanzhen discussed the incident and suspected Spirit Hall had masterminded it, since the other major factions had all suffered losses.

Heaven Dou’s leaders suspected Spirit Hall and the Star Luo Empire of involvement in the crisis, then agreed to support one another. In the imperial hall, ministers credited the absent Xue Qinghe with saving the empire from disaster, and Xue Ye agreed to reward him when he returned.
