• Shi Jiu saw that Yun Yi had read her message but could not send a reply, and Jiang Fu concluded that a mole had likely revealed himself amid the attacks on Bin City and Jiang City.

They put Azure Feather under a Soul-Binding Lock and rode him into the battle outside Jiang City, where the Martial Artists were fighting Realm Beast King Earth Nightmare.

• Sikong Yi feared the Sword God’s silence, while the onlookers admired Jiang Fu for seemingly putting the crisis ahead of personal grudges.
• Earth Nightmare armored itself and unleashed a vast gravity field, but Azure Feather countered with a storm that trapped both beasts in a destructive battle.
• As martial artists fled the moving storm and gravity zones, Jiang Fu pointed at the beasts, and Azure Feather held Earth Nightmare in place while Shi Jiu’s Spatial Maze swallowed them both.
• Shi Jiu told Jiang Fu that Space Controller’s sequence duration had run out, and Jiang Fu checked that it was five minutes before midnight, when their sequences would recover.
• Shi Jiu recalled that Great-Uncle’s sequence had recovered overnight and that the Ling Family elder restored his Sealer Sequence immediately after drinking Black Liquid.

Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu planned to force Ling Chengxin to reveal the black liquid’s secret while the martial artists fought Domain Monster: Qingwu. As midnight restored everyone’s Sequences, an unknown aged voice offered Lu Tianhai help rebuilding his school.

• Qingwu recovered her abilities, revealed her true form, and told Lu Tianhai she would kill the other Martial Artists to avenge Jiang City Martial Arts University.
• Qingwu trapped Lu Tianhai in her domain and sent dark teal threads toward him, while Yun Yi, Nan Jingxun, Shi Qinglong, and the others rushed to stop her.

• Lu Tianhai praised the Sword God for dealing with Ling Chengxin only after resolving the crisis, and blamed Sikong Yi for killing Yellowbeard while Qingwu remained a threat.
• Jian Nanqiu and other sword cultivators complained that Sikong Yi had escaped before the Sword God could kill him, while Yun Yi reminded everyone that the Human-Skin Realm Beast and Mist Forbidden Zone still threatened Jiang City.
• Golden Wing and Silver Wing had bought Dunxi Hotel for 998 yuan, and the hotel staff were freely revealing that the Bearded Pirates were staying there ahead of the auction.
• Lin Que replied to Shi Jiu’s message, but Jiang Fu dragged him back into the mud, and the two slept until dawn.
• Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu woke in the afternoon, spent the day together, and decided they could hold the auction at 11:59:59 p.m. because they had never specified a time.
• When Shi Jiu suggested interrogating the hostages before the auction, Jiang Fu’s wandering hand made her question whether that was what he meant by doing something proper.

Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu discovered that eighteen hundred Martial Artists had gathered at Dunxi Hotel for the midnight auction, then encountered Qing Ling and Lu Pin, whose Lie Detector and Judge Sequences caused chaos. Jiang Fu proposed that the two create a Sequence Item together, leaving the idea hanging.

• Qing Ling used his Judge Sequence to slap Lu Pin, but his Sequence did not work on Jiang Fu or Shi Jiu.
• Jiang Fu asked Qing Ling and Lu Pin if they had considered combining their Lie Detector and Judge Sequences into a Sequence Item.

• The crew agreed to interrogate their kidnapped hostages, starting with Ling Chengxin, whom Jiang Fu said had recovered his sequence and would later be auctioned.
• Shi Jiu asked when Jiang Fu had kidnapped all the people in the hotel.

Lu Pin, Qing Ling, Jiang Fu, and Shi Jiu captured Ling Chengxin and discussed auctioning him while Qing Ling planned revenge on the Ling Family. Ling Chengxin discovered that Greenbeard had Sequence Lie Detector, and the group learned that Ling Chengxin had used an Abyss Potion to restore his Sequence Duration.

• Lu Pin explained that the Bearded Pirate Crew had captured nearly two thousand people for the auction, and Qing Ling proposed targeting the Ling Family's second son over his marriage proposal to Qing Ling's sister.

• Greenbeard used Sequence Lie Detector to expose Ling Chengxin's claim that his Sequence Duration had not run out and revealed that Ling Chengxin had used his last Abyss Potion to reset it.
• Ling Chengxin recognized Greenbeard's Sequence as Sequence Lie Detector, while Qing Ling showed he did not know what an Abyss Potion was.

Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu exposed how Lu Pin’s Sequence Lie Detector could reveal secrets protected by Sequence Contracts, while Jiang Fu gave Lu Pin an Emperor Grade Wood’s Protection. Lu Pin forced Ling Chengxin to reveal the truth about Abyss Potions, but the contract’s punishment killed him before he could finish.

• Qing Ling explained that Ling Chengxin’s seizure came from breaking a Sequence Contract by mentioning Abyss Potions, and that Lu Pin’s Sequence Lie Detector could expose contract-protected secrets without punishment.
• Qing Ling warned Lu Pin that his existing Wood’s Protection could not protect him from a Celestial Being, so Jiang Fu gave Lu Pin an Emperor Grade Wood’s Protection made by multiplying its rank by ten.
• Lu Pin planned to conceal the Emperor Grade Wood’s Protection and secretly use it alongside his lower-grade token.
• After Ling Chengxin recovered, Jiang Fu asked him about Abyss Potions, and Lu Pin’s Lie Detector exposed that they could reset Sequence Duration, raise Sequence Level, and were made from scarce Abyss Fruits.
• Ling Chengxin’s Sequence Contract punished him with black lightning, reducing him to charred remains before he could finish explaining.

Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu interrogated Mo Ran Qiuhua while Qing Ling and Lu Pin discussed how their pirate crew’s crimes were being blamed on Redbeard and Yellowbeard. Lu Pin exposed Mo Ran Qiuhua’s connection to Lingyue Pavilion, but black lightning struck and killed him before the interrogation could continue.

• Lu Pin celebrated killing a Sky-Riding Realm Transcendent, and Shi Jiu sent him to interrogate Mo Ran Qiuhua while she and Jiang Fu questioned him next door.
• Qing Ling and Lu Pin read online discussions blaming Redbeard and Yellowbeard for the people captured in Jiang City, and Lu Pin eagerly anticipated capturing and selling more people.

• Shi Jiu briefly brought more than a hundred martial artists with their heads attached to their asses into the room, terrifying Mo Ran Qiuhua into agreeing to talk.

• Black lightning struck Mo Ran Qiuhua and turned him to charcoal.

• Shen Yan opened the Beard Auction at exactly 11:59:59 p.m., introducing himself as Pirate Xia Purplebeard alongside the other Bearded Pirates.

• Shen Yan announced that Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu would be the auction’s finale, then revealed them in a cage to the silent crowd.
• The crowd noticed Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu’s red and yellow hair, while the real Redbeard glared toward the Sikong Clan and Yun Yi accused the pirates of dressing the children to provoke them.

Yun Yi confirmed that Jiang Fu was safe, while Shen Yan silenced the auction crowd with his Celestial Being might and began selling a stone as the entry ticket to the next lots. The bidders learned the next item was the kidnapped Martial Artists of the Sikong Clan, and Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu recognized Shen Yan’s scheme as another way to squeeze money from them.

• Yun Yi saw Jiang Fu playing safely with Shi Jiu and relaxed, then joined the crowd in denouncing the Bearded Pirate Crew and Shen Yan’s suits.
• Shen Yan roared for silence with his Celestial Being might and opened the auction by offering an ordinary pebble as a Divine Stone for a minimum bid of one Tier 12 Energy Source.
• Sikong Jue challenged the stone’s value, and Shen Yan’s pressure shattered his chair and forced him to the floor.
• Shen Yan explained that buying the stone qualified bidders for the next auction lot: the kidnapped Martial Artists of the Sikong Clan.
• Qing Ling, Lu Pin, Jiang Fu, and Shi Jiu reacted with disbelief as they realized the bidders had paid an entry fee and still had to buy a stone to participate.

Shen Yan used his Celestial Being aura to keep the auction venue under control while Redbeard challenged Sikong Jue and exposed the Ling Family’s plot to kidnap Qing Ling. The video ended with Purplebeard offering the rest of the footage for a fire flame crystal per person or exclusive rights in exchange for Abyss Potion.

• Shen Yan’s Celestial Being pressure silenced the venue after he announced that the ten-billion admission fee only bought a chance to watch, not bid.
• Sikong Jue appealed to Yun Yi to make the Authorities intervene, but Redbeard challenged him over the Sikong Clan’s violence and mocked his demand for evidence.
