• Ju Zi told Huo Yuhao about recent deaths in the palace, and he suspected Xu Tianran was behind them.

Huo Yuhao returned from secluded research and discovered that Xu Tianzhen had neglected her cultivation, so he made her train while he reunited with Ju Zi and Meng Hongchen. The chapter ended with Xu Tianzhen hearing Huo Yuhao with the other two and realizing she had been left out.

Huo Yuhao settled back into life in Mingdu, guided his companions in cultivation, and studied the Heavenly Saint Fissure Abyss Halberd.

• Dai Hao recalled the deaths and injuries that had devastated his family before returning to his official duties.
• Xu Jiawei gave Xu Jiujiu the urgent border report, and she suggested the Sun Moon Empire might be preparing for war.
