• In Western Desert, Fang Yuan appeared before the Mo clan merchant caravan and slaughtered its members despite their leader identifying the clan.

Immortal Crane Sect’s Grand Elders debated funding Lingxi’s treatment, reinforcements for the Battlefield of Reincarnation, Jun Tian Sword Sect’s departure, and a plan to reclaim Fox Immortal Blessed Land. He Fengyang’s operation lost its strongest support when the sect learned Ancestor Cangyang had to go to Northern Plains to investigate True Yang Building’s collapse and seek Immortal Gu.

• Shu Zhige requested 360 Immortal Essence Stones for Lingxi’s treatment and research, but the Grand Elders approved only 200 after Fan Xiliu and others objected.

• Immortal Master Tian He considered activating a hidden trump card that could force Fang Zheng to continue sensing at the risk of his life.

• Immortal Master Tian He recalled his years of raising Fang Zheng and finally used his trump card when Fang Zheng could not sense Fang Yuan and neared collapse.
