There, he ran into Venerable Qian Ling, who asked him to help negotiate a better price for her sect’s spirit ores.

At the Elder Council Headquarters, Ming Kong and the Sequence Elders prepared to endure the Golden Winged Great Peng’s attacks while Ye Xiaoyao and Old Sword considered leaving.

The Elder Council prepared to use a Sword Array Puppet to hold the enemy off, as Xu Fan cultivated on Hidden Spirit Island.

• Old Sword advised Ye Xiaoyao to find a safe place and cultivate for a few hundred years, while Ye Xiaoyao lamented that he still had not contacted the Artifact Refining Great Grandmaster.
• Zhan Ling slaughtered Demon Race cultivators across the Two Realms Passage and, following Grape’s instructions, left some of the Saint Lion Clan alive while attacking their Holy City.
