Canyon warriors mistook him for Mo Huaitian and attacked him, and the chapter ended with Youmi trying to explain himself while Qu Jianlei pursued Shuke.

After hiding for eight months, Qu Jianlei advanced to Rank A and prepared to return to the Canyon. He infiltrated the Attribute Cultivation Research Institute and began stealing its archives, while Xiao Moshan and You You remained behind.

• The Canyon blamed Jian Lei for its losses, speculated that he had an Item-Storing Talisman and Mental Attribute techniques, and searched for him and his companions for six months.

He returned to You You and Xiao Moshan with materials that could help them deduce cultivation methods up to Rank A, but warned they could no longer stay where they were.

When Zheng Weifang, a guardian from another settlement, confronted them, Qu Jianlei recognized him as one of the hunters who had once tried to kill the group and revealed that he had reached Rank A.

• You You and Xiao Moshan forced their way past Universe Six guards who did not recognize their identification, and You You drove them into the Rich Area.

After half a year in Half Mountain Manor, Qu Jianlei’s group had made the area so dangerous that nobody dared approach, and Qu Jianlei decided to travel to Central City with Xiao Moshan and Bentley. Their aircraft landed and they entered a Safe House, but an enemy-attack alarm sounded less than half a day later.

• People in Tai Du who investigated Half Mountain Manor were killed, and the Peacekeeping Force failed to get answers from its aloof residents.
• A Modified Warrior and his Rank C Warrior companion went to confront the manor, but the companion fled and the Modified Warrior was found hanged at the mountain’s foot.

• The three entered a Safe House that Qu Jianlei had checked, but an enemy-attack alarm sounded less than half a day later.

After a battle in Central City, Xiao Moshan explained the Rebels’ origins and warned that the Canyon would conduct a major sweep.

• Qu Jianlei offered to bring Black Panther food and drinks because he and the other guards were working hard.

Black Panther let Qu Jianlei and his companions shelter at the checkpoint, but Qu Jianlei sensed Fallen in a convoy from Canyon. When Black Panther ordered an inspection, the convoy opened fire, and the group joined the fight.

• Black Panther invited Qu Jianlei, Xiao Moshan, and Bentley to guard the checkpoint and eat with the guards, while they discussed Bentley's past and the Bunker Family.

• Black Panther ordered the convoy inspected, and its driver responded by commanding the vehicles to attack.
• Qu Jianlei shielded the guards with golden barriers as Black Panther, Xiao Moshan, and Bentley struck the convoy's vehicles.

Qu Jianlei, Xiao Moshan, and Bentley helped Black Panther’s guards capture a Fallen squad, then went into hiding with Black Panther’s help. At the checkpoint, Wei Wushuang and Chen Weiyu argued over the incident, and Wei urged her to investigate the Canyon Rank C driver for possible Rebel accomplices.

• Wei Wushuang told Chen Weiyu to interrogate the Rank C driver first in case he had accomplices or more hidden Rebels.

Chen Weiyu’s interrogation of Belani ended in his death by a bizarre mixed poison, and the cook who prepared his meal was also found murdered, suggesting an insider remained at large. After a Supreme arrived, he questioned why the Rebels had attacked Central City, and Chen Weiyu suggested it might involve their captured leader, Chalinder.

• Chen Weiyu interrogated a Rank C driver through the night while Wei Wushuang refused to let her focus on the three people she suspected.
• Belani asked for food near dawn, ate the late-night meal, and died instantly from a poison formed by a reaction inside his body.
• Chen Weiyu’s people found the cook dead from remotely activated neurotoxic gas hidden in his home, and Chen Weiyu ordered everyone connected to Belani detained.
• Chen Weiyu decided to wait for a Supreme before investigating Belani’s background and connections in the Canyon.
• A fat Supreme arrived in Central City, dismissed the need to keep the captured Rebel leader Chalinder alive, and asked whether Chen Weiyu had obtained testimony from the Rebels.

The Great Supreme searched Central City for Rebel hideouts, then dismissed Canyon’s concerns about Belani and the treatment of its people while warning that those who attacked Canyon’s convoy would be held accountable. After Canyon’s forces withdrew, Qu Jianlei and his companions left their hiding place, and Bentley was surprised when Black Panther took them to a cemetery.

• The Great Supreme found more than twenty Rebel hideouts in Central City, but the raids captured only two Petty Bosses and seven minor grunts, and interrogations yielded no new information.
• Chen Weiyu and several Warriors asked the Great Supreme to address Belani and Central City’s treatment of Canyon’s people; he said Canyon could handle its own affairs but ordered those who attacked its convoy put on the ledger.
• Canyon’s Warriors suspected that Jian Lei had taken the research institute’s materials, and they decided to wait for him in Canyon rather than pursue him themselves.
• Qu Jianlei, Xiao Moshan, and Bentley stayed hidden after sensing the Great Supreme’s Mental Strength until Black Panther told them five days later that Canyon’s main force and the Supreme had left.
• Qu Jianlei and Xiao Moshan agreed to accompany Bentley to visit a grave, and Black Panther drove them to the cemetery, where Bentley asked why it was there.
