• The Ancient Demon swallowed the magical birds and moved to stop the Snow Fox King from recovering his lower body.

Lin Xuan tried to survive as the Jialuo Ancient Demon fought and killed the wounded Snow Fox King. After secretly poisoning the Snow Fox King's wound with Heart-Eroding Demon Peach powder, Lin Xuan waited to see whether it would weaken the Ancient Demon.

• The Ancient Demon devoured the Snow Fox King’s body without noticing Lin Xuan’s poison.

• Lin Xuan collected the Snow Fox King’s Long Spear and the Ancient Demon’s black Prayer Beads.

• At Lin Xuan’s cave, Yue'er sensed a Transformation Realm demon and hid herself, hoping to protect him from disruption.
• The Green-Haired Elder landed outside Water Curtain Cave, detected the hidden restrictions, and stared at the waterfall with killing intent.

Yue'er ambushed a green-haired Transformation Realm demon cultivator guarding Water Curtain Cave, but his Black Gold Dragon Scale Shield turned aside her strongest attack.

• Yue'er unleashed the Beast Soul Banner's demonic cloud to delay the old man, who responded by demonifying and growing to immense size.

Lin Xuan appeared to protect Yue'er from the Green-Haired Elder, a powerful Demon Race foe, and revealed his Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivation. He stopped the elder from escaping and began fighting him with his treasures, ending the chapter as he released a powerful monster from a pouch.
