Chapter Summaries

Ye Tian and his companions investigated a strange power beneath a mountain ravine, where they discovered Star Luo Empire soldiers secretly mining an enormous cavern. Disguised as soldiers, they entered the mine, but the source of the power remained unclear as Sea Witch could not sense what Xiao Bai detected.

• Xiao Bai sensed unusual energy five li ahead, and Ye Tian gathered Sea Witch, Zhou Long, Gui Mei, Ci Xue, and the others before deciding to investigate.
• Gu Yuena joined the group after waking hungry, kissed Ye Tian, and traveled with him in Xiao Bai's armor.
