• Yu Chenglong concluded that Du Bai had predicted the Nine-Headed Fire Qilin’s appearance and resolved to visit him the following day.

• Du Bai wondered why the Nine-Headed Fire Qilin still had not begun its sacrifice.

• Du Bai asked the system when the Nine-Headed Fire Qilin would finish its sacrifice, but the system said it did not know and told him to wait.

• Tang Xiao approved the assassination, reasoning that killing Spirit Hall’s prodigy could benefit the Clear Sky Sect.

The Clear Sky Sect prepared to assassinate Du Bai while he was immobilized by the Nine-Headed Soul Beast’s golden light. As Bibi Dong led Clear Wind Manor’s residents to safety, Heaven Dou’s leaders considered using the destruction to demand compensation from Spirit Hall, and Salas arrived to question Du Bai.

• Salas told Du Bai that the Pope and Spirit Hall’s elders were coming to hunt the Nine-Headed Fire Qilin, and Du Bai agreed to help them.

• Xue Ye and the other leaders considered fighting Spirit Hall or yielding, then agreed to observe the situation before deciding.
