• Xue Qinghe asked Ning Fengzhi about Ning Rongrong’s cultivation and explained that caring for the emperor and handling government affairs left him little time to rest.

Yu Tianlin and Yu Luomian told Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin that Spirit Hall had sent Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan to intercept them and that Yu Luomian had killed him. Ning Fengzhi was shocked, while Yu Tianlin’s explanation that someone had helped left the visitors assuming Yu Yuanzhen had joined the fight; the greater threat to both sects remained unexplained.

• Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin arrived at the meeting and were surprised to find Yu Tianlin and Ye Lingling waiting with Yu Luomian.

• Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin decided to search secretly for moles, accepting that it was better to believe Yu Tianlin's warning than dismiss it.

Bibi Dong learned that Yue Guan had likely fallen after a battle in the Star Luo Empire and questioned Tuoba Xi about the intelligence that led him there. Reports that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had both entered martial law left her unsure who was involved.

• Spirit Hall investigators reported that Yue Guan had likely fallen after a fierce battle in the northwestern Star Luo Empire, and Bibi Dong smashed the papal throne’s armrest in anger.
• Bibi Dong summoned Tuoba Xi and demanded an account of the report that a Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect elder had been found near the Breaking Clan’s residence.
• Tuoba Xi described sensing traces of a Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon battle, while an investigator confirmed that Yue Guan’s battlefield bore signs of a powerful Thunder Attribute Soul Master.
• Bibi Dong suspected Yu Yuanzhen and Yu Luomian had joined forces to ambush Yue Guan after hearing that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect was recalling disciples and imposing martial law.
• A Spirit Hall report revealed that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had taken similar precautions, leaving Bibi Dong uncertain about its connection to Yue Guan’s disappearance.

Bibi Dong suspected the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect had joined forces against Spirit Hall, and sent elders to investigate Yue Guan’s disappearance and the sects’ actions. After the elders and Tuoba Xi left to carry out her orders, Gui Mei appeared before her.

• Bibi Dong ordered Tuoba Xi to stay while she summoned Spirit Hall’s Seventh, Eighth, and Ninth Elders.
• She sent the Ninth Elder and Temple Knights to Fengxing City to investigate the Breaking Clan, with orders to destroy it if it refused to cooperate.
• She sent the Eighth Elder to visit the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and investigate Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin, and Gu Rong’s whereabouts.
• She ordered the Seventh Elder and Tuoba Xi to visit the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect and determine whether it had attacked Yue Guan and whether he was dead.
• After the elders and Tuoba Xi departed, Bibi Dong hoped Yue Guan had survived, and Gui Mei appeared in the Pope’s Palace.

Gui Mei grieved over Yue Guan’s disappearance and received Bibi Dong’s approval to investigate the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect. There, Yu Tianlin and Yu Mingfeng purged Spirit Hall spies and recognized the scale of Spirit Hall’s plans.

• Gui Mei learned Yue Guan had gone missing and asked Bibi Dong to let him investigate the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect.
• Bibi Dong told Gui Mei that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect might also be involved and assigned him to replace the Seventh Elder on a visit with Tuoba Xi.
• Yu Tianlin told Yu Yuanzhen about Spirit Hall’s planned Spirit Hunting Operation, prompting the sect to recall disciples, raise its alert, and investigate its members.
• Yu Tianlin and Yu Mingfeng judged an exposed Spirit Hall mole, and Yu Tianlin ordered him taken away after he refused to provide useful information.
• Yu Mingfeng noted that the captured spies knew nothing about the operation, and Yu Tianlin concluded that Spirit Hall’s more than a hundred moles revealed its intentions.

Yu Tianlin and Yu Mingfeng welcomed Ghost Douluo Gui Mei and Tuoba Xi, who came to investigate Yue Guan’s disappearance. Gui Mei bluntly demanded to know where Yue Guan was and how he was, while Yu Tianlin and Yu Mingfeng faced the visitors at the sect gate.

• Yu Tianlin told Yu Mingfeng that Spirit Hall had likely sent Gui Mei and Tuoba Xi to investigate Yue Guan’s disappearance and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect’s lockdown.
• Yu Tianlin suspected Yu Yuanzhen had sent only him and Yu Mingfeng to conceal the sect’s increased strength from the visitors.

• Gui Mei rejected Yu Mingfeng’s explanation and demanded to know where Yue Guan was and how he was.
• Tuoba Xi showed a bitter smile as Gui Mei questioned Yu Mingfeng on the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect’s territory.

Gui Mei and Tuoba Xi entered the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect, where a hidden Spirit Hall mole tried to reveal what he knew about Yue Guan. Yu Tianlin killed the mole before he could finish, and Gui Mei confronted Yu Mingfeng and Yu Tianlin until Yu Yuanzhen appeared to stop them.

• Gui Mei questioned Yu Mingfeng about Yue Guan, but Yu Mingfeng feigned ignorance and invited Gui Mei and Tuoba Xi into the sect.
• Yu Mingfeng led Gui Mei and Tuoba Xi toward the reception room as they observed the sect's tense but orderly atmosphere.
• A Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect disciple rushed toward Gui Mei, intending to tell him about Chrysanthemum Douluo, and Yu Mingfeng and Yu Tianlin recognized him as a mole.
• Yu Mingfeng restrained Gui Mei while Yu Tianlin charged forward and killed the mole before he could finish speaking.
• Gui Mei erupted in anger and faced Yu Mingfeng as the sect disciples surrounded him and Tuoba Xi.
• Yu Yuanzhen arrived and ordered everyone to stop, and Gui Mei challenged him about suddenly finding time to appear.

Yu Yuanzhen refused to let Yu Tianlin kill Gui Mei and Tuoba Xi after Yu Tianlin killed a Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect member, and the visitors left without an explanation about Yue Guan. Yu Mingfeng explained that avoiding an open break with Spirit Hall would limit its grounds for attacking the sect and could give the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect an advantage.

• Yu Tianlin killed a Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect member who rushed toward Gui Mei and Tuoba Xi, and Yu Yuanzhen called the man a traitor who had threatened their guests.
• Yu Yuanzhen offered a false apology, while Tuoba Xi urged Gui Mei to leave; Tuoba Xi’s killing intent made Gui Mei suspect he had betrayed Yue Guan.
• Gui Mei suppressed his anger and left with Tuoba Xi, while Yu Yuanzhen stopped Yu Tianlin and Yu Mingfeng from pursuing them.
• Yu Tianlin asked why they had not killed the visitors, and Yu Mingfeng explained that doing so would give Spirit Hall a clear excuse to launch an open attack.
• Yu Mingfeng said that avoiding a public conflict would restrict Spirit Hall to a covert operation, which the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect could potentially turn to its advantage.

Tuoba Xi explained to Gui Mei that he had provoked him to escape the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect and had let Yu Tianlin silence a Spirit Hall mole to prevent a war. Gui Mei accepted Tuoba Xi’s explanation and Yue Guan’s likely death, then prepared to take Tuoba Xi back to report to Bibi Dong and vowed revenge on the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect.

• After leaving the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect, Tuoba Xi was ambushed by Gui Mei, who shattered his Martial Soul Avatar and demanded an explanation.
• Tuoba Xi claimed he had provoked Gui Mei to make them leave the sect safely and had not betrayed Spirit Hall.
• Tuoba Xi explained that stopping Yu Tianlin from silencing the mole would have exposed Yue Guan’s situation and trapped them in an unavoidable war.
• Gui Mei accepted that Yue Guan was likely dead, admitted Tuoba Xi had acted correctly, and promised to report the truth to Bibi Dong.
• Gui Mei took the injured Tuoba Xi away from the sect and vowed to avenge Yue Guan and destroy the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect.

After Spirit Hall’s visit to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect revealed nothing, Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin, and Gu Rong focused on the threat posed by Spirit Hall’s many moles within the sect. They resolved to root them out quickly, while Gui Mei and Tuoba Xi left the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect having learned enough to suspect how Yue Guan died.

• Gui Mei and Tuoba Xi left the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect after deducing the likely cause of Yue Guan’s death, and Gui Mei vowed to avenge him.
• Spirit Hall’s Eighth Elder quietly investigated the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, but Ning Fengzhi concealed its recent changes and sent him back without finding anything amiss.
• Gu Rong asked Ning Fengzhi why Bibi Dong had sent the Eighth Elder, and Ning Fengzhi explained that Spirit Hall was probing the sect after Yue Guan’s fall.
• Chen Xin declared that clearing out the moles in the sect mattered more than Yue Guan’s death to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
• Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong recognized that Spirit Hall had planted large numbers of moles among the outer sect disciples and resolved to remove them quickly.

Ning Fengzhi planned to seek the Heaven Dou Empire’s support against Spirit Hall, while Spirit Hall’s Ninth Elder failed to destroy the Breaking Clan after the Star Luo Empire intervened. Yang Wudi then proposed that the Four Single-Attribute Clans unite and establish a new sect to oppose Spirit Hall.

• Ning Fengzhi told the two Titled Douluo that he would use the time after Yue Guan’s fall to discuss mutual aid with the Heaven Dou Imperial Family.
• Spirit Hall’s Ninth Elder joined forces with the Sacred Dragon Sect and marched on the Breaking Clan, expecting to overwhelm its defenders.
• The Ninth Elder discovered that Titan, Bai He, and Niu Gao were visiting Yang Wudi, bringing the number of clan chiefs present to four Soul Douluo.
• A Star Luo Empire official stopped the attack, and the Ninth Elder withdrew rather than provoke the empire.
• Yang Wudi proposed that the four clans join forces to establish a new sect and fight Spirit Hall.

Yang Wudi proposed uniting the Four Single-Attribute Clans and asked to become the new sect master, offering rare medicinal ingredients in return. Bai He supported him by contributing the Speed Clan’s treasured ginseng, whose dragon-shaped markings surprised the others.

• Yang Wudi invited Titan, Bai He, and Niu Gao into the Breaking Clan’s Council Hall to discuss uniting their clans.
• Titan asked how the new sect would be organized, and Yang Wudi stated that he wanted to be its sect master.
• Yang Wudi offered a rare ginseng whisker for refining into medicine, saying it might help the other clan chiefs reach Titled Douluo.
• Bai He declared his support for the union and Yang Wudi’s leadership, then gave Yang Wudi the Speed Clan’s treasured medicinal ingredient.
• Yang Wudi opened Bai He’s jade box and found a foot-long, crystal-clear blood-red ginseng marked with a pattern resembling a five-clawed dragon.

Yang Wudi became sect master of the merged Four Single-Attribute Clans, and the clans chose to relocate to the Heaven Dou Empire. Back at Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong heard that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect remained unaware of Spirit Hall’s schemes and judged it vulnerable to the coming Spirit Hunting Operation.

• Yang Wudi identified Bai He's herb as the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng and promised that his medicine-making could help the clan leaders reach Titled Douluo within ten years.
• Titan and Niu Gao agreed that Yang Wudi would lead the merged clans as sect master.
• Yang Wudi accepted Titan's proposal to establish the new sect in the Heaven Dou Empire's capital rather than the Star Luo Empire.
• The four clan leaders settled the merger's main details and returned to prepare for relocation.
• Ninth Elder reported that Star Luo Empire officials had protected the Breaking Clan, and Eighth Elder told Bibi Dong that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect showed no unusual vigilance.
• Bibi Dong dismissed the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's prospects and believed Spirit Hall could destroy it during the Spirit Hunting Operation.

After learning that Yue Guan had fallen at the hands of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect, Bibi Dong found that Spirit Hall had no evidence to justify an immediate attack. She decided to accelerate the Spirit Hunting Operation as both sides prepared for conflict, while the Four Single-Attribute Clans formed a new sect in the Heaven Dou Empire capital.

• Gui Mei reported Yue Guan's fall and blamed the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect, but admitted that Spirit Hall had no evidence.
• Tuoba Xi described how the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect's spy had been silenced and the sect had turned hostile, confirming Bibi Dong's suspicion that it had captured Chrysanthemum Douluo.
• Bibi Dong praised Tuoba Xi, dismissed him and Gui Mei, and promised that Spirit Hall would avenge Yue Guan during the Spirit Hunting Operation.
• Bibi Dong decided to speed up the Spirit Hunting Operation, while the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect and Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect prepared for Spirit Hall's attack.
• The Four Single-Attribute Clans united, traveled to the Heaven Dou Empire capital, and established a new sect.

Over a year and a half, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect grew stronger, and Yu Tianlin became confident it could withstand Spirit Hall’s Spirit Hunting Operation. As Yu Tianlin and his father cultivated in seclusion, Yu Rou grew close to Ye Lingling, and Yu Tianlin returned just as they were talking about him.

• The Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect’s Fourth Elder became a Titled Douluo, bringing the sect’s total to four, while its Soul Douluo and Soul Saint numbers also increased.
• Yu Tianlin judged that the sect could survive the Spirit Hunting Operation and felt his worries ease as he neared a breakthrough from level sixty-nine.
• Yu Tianlin entered seclusion to reach level seventy, while Yu Mingfeng cultivated in seclusion to break through to level ninety.
• Yu Rou learned that Ye Lingling cared for Yu Tianlin and grew satisfied with her, while Ye Lingling planned to wait and obtain her sixth soul ring alongside him.
• Yu Tianlin entered the room and asked Yu Rou and Ye Lingling whether they had been talking about him.

Yu Tianlin reached level seventy, Ye Lingling reached level sixty, and Yu Mingfeng broke through to level ninety, bringing the family great joy. After celebrating, they arranged separate soul-hunting journeys for Yu Tianlin and Yu Mingfeng, then set off with their escorts.

• Yu Tianlin emerged from seclusion after breaking through to level seventy, and Yu Rou told him Ye Lingling had reached level sixty.
• Yu Mingfeng returned after reaching level ninety and credited Yu Tianlin's medicinal herb with speeding his cultivation.
• Yu Rou explained that Yu Tianlin had also broken through, and Yu Mingfeng called for Yu Tianheng to join their family celebration.
• The family planned for Yu Tianlin to hunt Yun Xi in Thunderbolt Canyon while Yu Mingfeng and Ye Lingling searched the Star Dou Great Forest.
• Yu Yuanzhen led Yu Tianlin toward Thunderbolt Canyon, while Yu Luomian took Yu Mingfeng and Ye Lingling toward the Star Dou Great Forest; two Titled Douluo remained to guard the sect.

Yu Tianlin and Yu Yuanzhen entered Thunderbolt Canyon to target Yun Xi, the hundred-thousand-year Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon. Yu Yuanzhen ambushed Yun Xi beneath the Cloud Vortex, leaving Yu Tianlin ready to join the battle.

• Yu Tianlin assured Yu Yuanzhen that his rank-seventy strength could handle Yun Xi's powerful subordinates.
• Yu Yuanzhen led Yu Tianlin through Thunderbolt Canyon's core while concealing their auras and avoiding the soul beasts.
• Yu Tianlin spotted Yun Xi beneath the Cloud Vortex, its left-arm dragon claw missing after it had destroyed the Thunder Holy Dragon Left Arm Bone nearly two years earlier.
• Yu Yuanzhen launched a surprise attack, and Yun Xi roared his name as blood poured from its abdomen.
• Yu Tianlin entered Full Body Dragon Transformation and summoned his six spirit rings while Yu Yuanzhen stood near the wounded Yun Xi.

Yu Tianlin and Yu Yuanzhen fought Yun Xi and the soul beasts summoned to its aid in Thunderbolt Canyon. Yu Tianlin was swarmed by powerful beasts while Yu Yuanzhen continued weakening Yun Xi, leaving the fight’s outcome in Yu Yuanzhen’s hands.

• Yu Yuanzhen wounded Yun Xi but kept it alive so Yu Tianlin could claim its soul ring, while Yun Xi called its subordinates and sealed its injury with lightning.
• Yu Tianlin repelled a sixty-thousand-year Dark Thunder Lizard with a powerful kick, heavily injuring it.
• A Swift Electric Dragon and a ninety-thousand-year Purple Lightning Earth Dragon attacked Yu Tianlin, who flew out of their reach with his Dragon Wings.
• The gathered soul beasts charged toward Yu Yuanzhen and Yun Xi, but a Thunder Marsh Holy Kite and other flying beasts intercepted Yu Tianlin.
• Yu Tianlin focused on defending himself as Yu Yuanzhen continued fighting Yun Xi, confident that his grandfather could handle the battle alone.

Yu Yuanzhen used his Martial Soul Avatar to overwhelm Yun Xi and defeat the soul beasts surrounding him, then disabled Yun Xi before Yu Tianlin arrived. Yu Tianlin saw the difference between their strength and reflected on how the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect had been powerless against Spirit Hall during the Spirit Hunting Operation.

• Yu Yuanzhen transformed into a massive Blue-Purple Giant Dragon and broke through Yun Xi's soul beast entourage.
• Yu Yuanzhen wounded the surrounding soul beasts and overpowered Yun Xi, who considered fleeing but could not escape.
• Yu Yuanzhen hurled lightning spears to shoot down the flying soul beasts attacking Yu Tianlin.
• Yu Tianlin reached the battlefield and found Yun Xi with its limbs removed and Dragon Wing broken.
• Yu Tianlin reflected that strength determined who could overpower others, recalling Spirit Hall's treatment of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect.
