Su Xian sent explosive pangolin-shaped scouting Soul Tools beneath the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, prompting Ning Fengzhi and the two Titled Douluos to discover the intrusion. As Ning Fengzhi opened the Seven Treasure Tower, Su Xian followed and found himself confronted with a Martial Soul lock.

Su Xian agreed to help DuGu Bo secure an External Soul Bone at auction while considering how to use shills to drive up its price. As he prepared to travel to the Balak Kingdom amid Nalan Tianqing’s rebellion, he refused Xue Wuji’s request to join him and arranged for the Strength Clan to make equipment for Entertainment City.
