• Yunxi refined a wisp of Polar Gale into her Wind Spiritual Power while cautiously advancing through the mid-ring.
• Yunxi brought Lili out to inspect a wounded Jihan Sect cultivator, and Lili saw that a dark Evil Soul controlled his body while the original soul slept.
• The cultivator, who called himself Feng Yan, claimed his teammate had ambushed him over a Wind Spirit Bead and asked Yunxi to help kill the traitor.

• Feng Yan stepped beyond the Nether Dragon Umbrella into the gale, and Lili confirmed that the original soul remained intact, suggesting the Wind Spirit Bead was real.

• Xun Kun followed the Red Rope to Yunxi, who told him she was fine and that a Spirit Transformation evil cultivator had ambushed her.
