• Venerable Mi refused to inform Lord Xu Wu until they had confirmed the intruder’s identity.

Venerable Mi persuaded Venerable Lan and the red-clothed woman to help ambush Lin Xuan with the Red Gauze Dust Array, which could suppress a Domain powerhouse’s Domain. Lin Xuan slaughtered an attacking squad of puppets, then turned toward a hidden attacker who struck at him with a Wolf-Tooth Mace.

Lin Xuan fought off three Heavenly Demon Lords and was trapped in the Red Gauze Dust Array, which cut off the spiritual Qi of heaven and earth. He revealed that he could use demonic Qi, leaving the demons shocked as he prepared to test his powers.

• A huge blue-patterned Demon Insect knocked Lin Xuan’s Nine Palaces Instantaneous Sword aside and saved the bald Demon Venerable.

He blocked the demons’ Thunder Beads with his Nine Heavens God Luo Image and broke free of the array’s restraint, leaving the battle unresolved.

• Lin Xuan broke through the array’s restraint on his movements, though the fight against the three Demon Venerables continued.

Lin Xuan fought off the red-robed demoness’s Bone Flood Dragons and Blue Demon Venerable’s demonic thoughts, then used his mastery of space to close in on the demoness. Venerable Lan’s Demonic Magnetic Heavy Mountain crushed Lin Xuan, leaving the three demons convinced they had defeated him.

• Lin Xuan spat out essence blood and summoned the Mystic Turtle Dragon Shell Shield, awakening its dragon and Mystic Turtle manifestations.
• The Bald Demon Venerable self-detonated, unleashing black radiance that consumed the surrounding Heaven and Earth Essence Qi.
• Black filaments from the blast pierced Lin Xuan’s nearly hundred defensive screens and tore into his blue iceberg.
• Lin Xuan used Hundun Taiyin Qi to repair the iceberg and freeze the attacking filaments in place.

• Lin Xuan remained unaware of Marquis Heaven Origin’s suspicion and focused on the threat from the Outer-Domain Heavenly Demons and the need to return to Cloud Hidden Sect.
