• Xu Xin and Dugu Bo emerged in masks, and Xu Xin announced that Shadow Hall would sell pills, with the Mysterious Water Pill auctioned.

• Yu Yuanzhen bid twelve million Golden Soul Coins for the Mysterious Water Pill after Bibi Dong stopped bidding, and Xu Xin completed the sale while revealing the Shadow Hall's twenty Title Douluos.

He also named the corrupted man from the City of Slaughter A Jing and sent him to prepare for a future meeting with Tang Hao.

• Bi Ji carried Xu Xin and the others away from the Lake of Life, and Xu Xin recognized Ah Rou and Xiao Wu near the Titan Giant Ape.
• A Yin greeted Ah Rou, who recognized her, while Xiao Wu silently remembered A Yin as Third Brother's mother.

Xu Xin noticed Xiao Wu's intense Killing Intent and suspected that she had been reborn. As he and Ah Yin left, he arranged to monitor Xiao Wu and left her fate to unfold.

• Xiao Wu glared at Xu Xin with Killing Intent when he held Ah Yin's hand, and Xu Xin became more convinced that she was a Reincarnator.
• Xiao Wu believed Tang Hao and Tang San would soon appear and fell asleep in Ah Rou's arms, while Xu Xin pondered how to speed up his plans involving Tang Hao.

Xu Xin gave Bi Ji the Ice and Fire Dragon King remains in exchange for their soul bones, then absorbed a darkness-corroded Demon Eye Magic Tree soul ring and gained his fourth soul skill, the Samo Mask. The Three-Eyed Golden Lion showed interest in wearing the mask, leaving Xu Xin curious about what it might do to a soul beast.

• Xu Xin used his fourth soul skill to create the Samo Mask, which Bi Ji dismissed as seemingly useless.
• The Three-Eyed Golden Lion indicated that it wanted to wear the Samo Mask, and Xu Xin wondered whether it would work on a soul beast.

Xu Xin engraved the Tara Mark on the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, allowing them to understand each other and letting her summon weak Ninja Soldiers. He named her Di Qiuer and offered Bi Ji a mask on the condition that she join the Shadow Hall and obey him.

Xu Xin offered Bi Ji a Shadow Hall mask, but she refused to betray the Silver Dragon King, while Di Qiuer eagerly volunteered and was told to cultivate first. Yu Yuanzhen then confronted Xu Xin over fake pills, and the chapter revealed how Yu Xiao Gang’s continued failure and resentment had led his father to urge him to use the pills and defeat Tang Hao.

Yu Yuanzhen persuaded Yu Xiao Gang to take a pill he bought from Shadow Hall, believing it would raise his talent and let him break through level 30. The pill instead caused a devastating bout of foul gas that knocked them both unconscious, and Yu Yuanzhen left for Shadow Hall demanding answers.

• Yu Yuanzhen explained that the Shadow Hall pill was supposed to improve Yu Xiao Gang's innate Soul Power and aptitude, then urged him to take it.
• Yu Xiao Gang swallowed the foul-smelling pill, and his stomach began rumbling before he unleashed waves of stench throughout the hall.

• Yu Yuanzhen woke at night, washed himself, ordered someone to clean up Yu Xiao Gang, and flew toward Sunset Forest in a rage.
• Yu Yuanzhen arrived above Shadow Hall and roared for its master to come out as thunder and lightning filled the sky.

Xu Xin confronted Yu Yuanzhen after Yu accused Shadow Hall of ruining his sect and his son’s prospects. Yu Yuanzhen lost his left hand and agreed to surrender half of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan’s assets, but he then demanded an explanation for the fake pills.

• Xu Xin mocked Yu Yuanzhen over Yu Xiao Gang’s stink and summoned twenty Titled Douluo-level Claw Shadow Soldiers when Yu threatened Shadow Hall.
• Yu Yuanzhen backed down after Xu Xin summoned another twenty soldiers and their Dark Aura overwhelmed his thunder.
• Xu Xin had a Claw Shadow Soldier tear off Yu Yuanzhen’s left hand after accusing him of pointing his hand at the three of them.

• Xu Xin demanded half the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan’s assets, and Yu Yuanzhen accepted before asking Xu Xin to explain the fake pills.

Xu Xin forced Yu Yuanzhen to pay Shadow Hall compensation for the fake pills, and Yu Yuanzhen returned to his sect angry and missing an arm. Three days later, he gathered the Upper Three Sects to unite against Shadow Hall, while Ning Fengzhi questioned whether Yu Xiao Gang had still failed to break through level 30.

• Xu Xin explained that the pills had spoiled because Yu Xiao Gang stored them in glass bottles instead of jade boxes, then gave Yu Yuanzhen three days to deliver resources or face the destruction of his clan.
• Yu Yuanzhen returned to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and invited the Clear Sky Sect and Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to meet, while Xu Xin relaxed at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well with Bi Ji and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.
• Yu Yuanzhen delivered the promised resources to Shadow Hall, then hosted Tang Zhan, Ning Fengzhi, and Sword Douluo in his foul-smelling main hall.
• A Soul King reported that Yu Xiao Gang had run away from home again, and Ning Fengzhi asked whether he still had not broken through level 30.
• Yu Yuanzhen showed the gathered sect leaders his missing arm and recounted his encounter with Shadow Hall.
• Tang Zhan condemned Shadow Hall, and Yu Yuanzhen urged the Upper Three Sects to stand united against it while Ning Fengzhi silently considered the situation.
