• Xun'er told Gu Yuan that Li Xiao had predicted Yao Xingji’s betrayal and explained how Yao Xingji had turned against the Yao Clan after losing the Nine Nether Wind Flame.

• Yan Jin and Lei Ying raised their bids for Star Chen Meteor Shower, while Lei Yunhe warned Lei Ying that spending their resources could jeopardize their chance at the Embryonic Emperor Pill.
• The Ancient Clans exchanged furious insults during the auction, and Ya Fei looked to Li Xiao for guidance as he gave her a calm smile.
