Chapter Summaries

Misty Pavilion cleared the ninth floor of the Demon Subduing Tower, gained powerful Demon Subduing Set cloaks, and helped more members pass the mount-riding trial. As the cloaks attracted interest from rival guilds, God of Wine Dukang negotiated with Breaking Waves Riding Wind and Yan Hua Yi Leng to buy a set.

• San Mei Shi left the tower to do Arena PK and Guild Missions, carrying the Five Elements Demon Pearls while Zuo Shang Qin Xin joined the ranged attackers.

Misty Pavilion negotiated with God of Wine Dukang to trade Demon Subduing Sets and mounts for Dark Gold saddles, strengthening both guilds ahead of a possible move by the Dongfang Family.

• After ending the communication, Yan Hua Yi Leng explained that the saddles would strengthen Misty Pavilion's cavalry and planned to equip the Ice Cavalry's Ice Demon Bears with them.

Misty Pavilion equipped its strongest mounts with saddles, then cleared the ninth floor of the Demon Subduing Tower and faced the Ancient God Grade Fire Dragon Lava Bird King. After inspecting the boss’s dangerous skills, Yan Hua Yi Leng began planning around June Flying Snow’s fire resistance, though Fei Xue doubted she could hold its aggro.

• Yan Hua Yi Leng assigned saddles to Misty Pavilion’s Immortal Grade and God Grade mounts first, followed by the Ice Demon Bears, Gale Demon Wolves, and Skeleton Nightmare Beasts.

• Ye Luo inspected the boss and revealed its powerful area attacks, including skills that inflicted heavy fire damage across wide ranges.
• Yan Hua Yi Leng judged that June Flying Snow might withstand the boss because of her high Magic Defense and fire resistance, but Fei Xue worried that her fire attacks would not let her hold its aggro.

Yan Hua Yi Leng organized the team’s strategy for fighting the Flame Lava Bird King, assigning June Flying Snow to hold its aggro while Ye Luo and Breaking Waves Riding Wind backed her up.

• Dongfang Mingmou and Dongfang Xiaotian concluded that Ye Luo Zhi Qiu had escaped before the entrance was blocked, and Dongfang Hentian said they could still ruin Misty Pavilion's quest by taking the item.

Breaking Waves Riding Wind, Yan Hua Yi Leng, and the Misty Pavilion players entered the Demon Subduing Tower and cornered Dongfang Shitian’s group. Dongfang Shitian tried to kill the Fire Dragon Lava Bird King before they could stop him, while both sides fought to block each other; the boss was still alive when the chapter ended.

• Breaking Waves Riding Wind reminded the group that her and Ye Luo's increased attack power would help them cut through the Dongfang Family's forces.

June Flying Snow could not learn Lava Garment because her Blazing Mage was not a sufficiently powerful fire-element profession, while Du Diao Han Jiang Xue reached level 200 and claimed the chance to take the Fifth Advancement Trial Mission. After the Fire Dragon Lava Bird King dropped a Lava Crystal Soul, June Flying Snow used it, evolving into a Lava Mage and gaining powerful attributes and skills.

• June Flying Snow used the Lava Crystal Soul to become a Lava Mage, greatly increasing her attributes and gaining Lava Power, Meteor Shower, and Summon Lava Sprite.
• Yan Hua Yi Leng and Breaking Waves Riding Wind gave Lava Garment and the Fire Crystal to June Flying Snow, who learned the skill and set out with the others for the battlefield.

Her teams set out to delay the reinforcements, and the chapter leaves Ban Ye Shu’s raiders harassing the North Gate army as their limited numbers and losses became clear.

• Ban Ye Shu and the others continued assassinating Dongfang Family players, slowing their advance until the commanders left over ten thousand troops behind to pursue them.

Misty Pavilion’s forces intercepted the Dongfang Family’s reinforcements while Ye Luo and Breaking Waves Riding Wind joined Yi Xiao Hong Chen to break through the enemy’s cavalry formation. With Yan Hua Yi Leng overseeing the wider battle and Yi Xiao Hong Chen directing his cavalry tactics, Misty Pavilion aimed to wipe out the million-man force before reinforcements could arrive.
