• Purplebeard began auctioning one hundred bidding slots for captured Martial Artists, prompting Xing Zhicheng to accuse the pirates of targeting Lingyue Pavilion; Purplebeard agreed.

Shen Yan used the Bearded Pirates’ advantage to force Lingyue Pavilion to pay two hundred Tier 12 Energy Sources, then exploited the Silence Domain to prevent any bidding. After the pirates destroyed Lingyue Pavilion’s captive martial artists, Xing Zhicheng attacked Shen Yan and was hurled back by the Purple Light Barrier.

• Shen Yan taunted Xing Zhicheng and explained that the Bearded Pirates targeted Lingyue Pavilion because it was an outside faction and the easiest to bully.

• Outside the Dunxi Hotel, Xin Musen and Xing Bin planned to have cooperating laboratories at Tianhuang Martial Arts University capture Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu later.
• Shi Qinglong saw Shi Jiu studying in the cage and resolved to bid whatever it took to ransom her back.

Shen Yan’s shills drove up the bidding for Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu, while Purplebeard publicized their achievements to attract more bidders. Tianhuang Martial Arts University ultimately secured the pair, and Xin Musen and Xing Bin left to investigate Ling Chu’s Puppet Bodies at the Baili Family’s territory.

Purplebeard blocked their assault at the Space Mirror, and Sikong Yi and Ling Du urged the watching factions and Tianhuang Martial Arts University to join the fight.

Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu shared the plundered treasures of Jiang City with the Bearded Pirates, while the group arranged for Xia Fan to claim responsibility for the theft. Jiang Fu revealed that he was the Sword God, leaving the pirates stunned when they learned he had cut through the mist because it blocked Shi Jiu’s gaming signal.

• Shi Jiu explained that Jiang Fu had cut through the mist so she could keep gaming, and the beards realized the blocked signal had motivated his deed.

The Bearded Pirate Crew finished looting Treasure Mountain while Shi Si explained how he planned to use his pirate identity to attack Lingyue Pavilion. After Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu pointed out the risks of taking stolen goods, Shi Si decided to bring his men to the island and split the loot with the crew.

Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu headed back toward Bin City after stopping in Jiang City, where two powerful figures had entered the Mist Forbidden Zone to become its Forbidden Zone Masters.
