• Ning Fengzhi gave Dugu Bo a Seven Treasures Token and departed with Chen Xin, while Dugu Bo remained behind to guard Zhu Zhuqing.

Tang San and his companions encountered the aftermath of a devastating battle near Heaven Dou City, where Yu Xiaogang argued with Dugu Yan over his analysis before the two groups nearly fought. Xue Beng arrived and asked Ning Rongrong whether she would side with him or his older brother.
