Xu Changqing and Xue Qinghe joined the Holy Sect as white-ranked members, then decided to locate and attack its Vast Sea Branch rather than earn trust through missions. Xu Changqing followed Dong Bo to Sea Viewing Mountain, killed the two guards at a hidden cave entrance, and entered the branch as he heard groaning from a passage.

• The Holy Sect soul masters charged Xu Changqing, but their poorly coordinated attacks blocked their own path, and Xu Changqing used Sky Piercing Finger to strike their commander.

• Xu Changqing agreed to share the credit but warned Hu Liena that Lin Mei could escape his restraint if she got too far away and might not yield to questioning.
• Xu Changqing forced Lin Mei to kneel and used her as a footstool, then threatened to strip her and throw her into a pigsty to make her reveal information.
