• Wang Yu and Long Yiran found a Fourth Tier Blood Demon Ginseng, which struck Wang Yu and forced the two to flee separately.

• Wang Yu appeared above Yin Ghost Mountain in a silver flash, masked, badly injured, and with his aura in disorder.

• The Spotless Jade Toad swallowed a tracking mark from Wang Yu’s shoulder, then began cocooning, leaving him without its protection as he fled toward Night Jade Province.

A Peak Foundation Establishment cultivator from Thunder Fire Temple then arrived with Five Poisons Old Demon’s corpse and pressed Wang Yu for more information about the Demon Luo Sect.

• After Wang Yu’s Lightning Pattern state ended, the Great Lake Noble Daughter arrived carrying Five Poisons Old Demon’s true corpse and said she had killed him after being drawn by the battle.
• The Great Lake Noble Daughter asked Wang Yu to tell her everything he knew about Yin Yang Demon Lord and the Demon Luo Sect, while Wang Yu wondered how she had killed a Core Formation Seventh Layer cultivator so easily.
