• Nalan Chaoge sent a clone disguised as himself with the gate guard while he stayed behind, and ordered Xiao Yu and Kimimaro to leave.
• The clone entered the Black Emperor Sect and learned that the Young Sect Master was busy with the captured girls, then waited in the main hall as two Elders arrived and saw a bowl of royal jelly.

• Nalan Chaoge learned through his Wood Style Shadow Clone that Hu Jia and Wu Tianlang faced the Black Emperor Sect’s experts, so he planned to take down Mo Ya.
• Xun’er fought Mo Ya with the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame, burned his hand, and struck him at close range with the Mountain Opening Seal.
• Mo Ya survived the attack because he wore Earth-tier protective armor and prepared his Crane Dance Finger technique as Xun’er began to set herself alight to avoid capture.
• Nalan Chaoge intercepted Mo Ya’s attack with Eight Trigrams: Mountain Crusher and told Xun’er to stop trying to kill herself.
• Mo Ya whistled for reinforcements, while Nalan Chaoge said the Black Emperor Sect’s men were already too occupied to help him.

Nalan Chaoge defeated Mo Ya and led Xun'er through the Black Emperor Sect to rescue Hu Gan and Wu Tianlang. After giving them pills to break their seals and recover, he guarded them while his formation continued to hold the sect’s strongest fighters.

• Nalan Chaoge overwhelmed Mo Ya with a barrage of Taijutsu attacks and sent him flying from the Black Emperor Sect.

• Nalan Chaoge told Xun'er and Hu Jia that he had pinned down one Dou Zong and two Dou Emperors, while Hu Gan and Wu Tianlang still needed time to break their seal.
• Mo Ya’s men broke through the cave entrance and poured in oil, while Nalan Chaoge realized his barrier had also broken.
• Qi Shan and Mo Ya prepared to burn the captives, and Qi Shan reported how Nalan Chaoge had trapped the elders.

Nalan Chaoge rescued Xun'er and Hu Jia from the oil-filled Mountain Cave as the Black Emperor Sect set it ablaze, then summoned Yatagarasu to help them escape. Mo Ya’s men stopped Nalan Chaoge and the two recovered elders from following, and Mo Ya offered Zhou Tong a sixth-grade pill to kill him.

• Mo Ya ordered Qi Shan to pour poisoned oil into the Mountain Cave and set it alight, while Nalan Chaoge warned the others that the fumes would be deadly.

• Qi Shan and Mo Ya fled and called for Mo Tianxing, while Nalan Chaoge, Hu Gan, and Wu Tianlang began to retreat.
• Zhou Tong abandoned his attack on Qi Shan to stop Nalan Chaoge, who insisted he was only moving farther away; Hu Gan and Wu Tianlang stayed to face Mo Tianxing.

Nalan Chaoge faced Mo Tianxing, the Black Emperor Sect’s six-star Dou Zong, and used Mo Ya as a hostage to help Hu Gan and Wu Tianlang escape. After a fierce clash and an explosion that wounded Mo Ya, Nalan Chaoge fled with Hu Gan and Wu Tianlang while Mo Tianxing ordered Zhou Tong to pursue them.

• Mo Tianxing's aura locked onto Nalan Chaoge, who ordered Hai Bodong to stop the approaching enemy.

• Nalan Chaoge used Underworld Swamp to trap Mo Tianxing, but Mo Tianxing broke free and attacked him.
• Hai Bodong shielded Nalan Chaoge from Mo Tianxing's punch, then seized Mo Tianxing and enclosed him in Mysterious Crystal Ice Prison.

• Mo Tianxing's Earth Fiend Palm struck Nalan Chaoge, who spat blood and plummeted toward the ground.

Nalan Chaoge used a Wind Release: Rasenshuriken and a jade-green flame to make Mo Tianxing hesitate and retreat, then escaped with Hai Bodong after revealing how badly he was injured.

• Hai Bodong carried the injured Nalan Chaoge to Black Seal City, where Nalan Chaoge decided to rest for the night and look for the Eight Gates’ valuables.

Nalan Chaoge bought a Reanimation Coffin Board and used Hai Bodong’s help to escape Mo Tianxing, then cultivated while Hai Bodong vanished into the coffin. The next morning, Kimimaro, Xiao Yi Xian, and Wu Tianlang heard rumors of Nalan Chaoge’s battle and seized a witness who knew someone had carried him away.

• Nalan Chaoge spent his last ten thousand points on a Reanimation Coffin Board because people revived through Impure World Reincarnation would disappear after a day without one.
• Hai Bodong helped Nalan Chaoge escape Mo Tianxing, entered the coffin, and disappeared from the world while Nalan Chaoge cultivated at a hotel.
• At first light, rumors spread that Yuan Yi was dead and the Eight Gates had fallen, while Kimimaro and Xiao Yi Xian worried about Nalan Chaoge’s absence.
• Kimimaro, Xiao Yi Xian, and Wu Tianlang heard a witness recount how Nalan Chaoge fought Mo Tianxing and drove him away with a lightning spear and a spinning Energy Orb.
• Kimimaro grabbed the witness when he learned that someone had carried Nalan Chaoge away, and Xiao Yi Xian and Wu Tianlang moved to restrain the man.

Xiao Yi Xian and Kimimaro realized the apparent Yuan Yi was likely Nalan Chaoge in disguise, while Nalan Chaoge used Yuan Yi’s identity to enter the Eight Gates auction house. After discovering the auction’s valuable items, he used his Mangekyō Sharingan while inspecting them, leaving the chapter on the question of what he had done.

• Xiao Yi Xian and Kimimaro recognized Yuan Yi in the hotel lobby and told Wu Tianlang that Nalan Chaoge had killed Yuan Yi the day before.

• Nalan Chaoge used Yuan Yi’s identity to enter the Eight Gates auction house and found that its auction included several treasures, including a Fragment Map.
• While inspecting the protected auction items, Nalan Chaoge activated his Mangekyō Sharingan and caused a sudden flash of light.

Nalan Chaoge stole valuable items from the Eight Gates auction and storehouse, then sent Cheng Fu away to keep him from being punished. As Wu Tianlang arrived with Xiao Yi Xian and Kimimaro, Nalan Chaoge pretended to accept a friendly invitation, leaving with them while the Eight Gates disciples wondered what was happening.

• Nalan Chaoge used the Sharingan to replace the Eight Gates' fragment map, Three Thousand Lightning Movement, and Yin-Yang Profound Dragon Pill with fakes under genjutsu.
• Nalan Chaoge entered the Eight Gates storehouse and took nearly fourteen seventh-grade medicinal herbs and two seventh-rank magic cores.

• Nalan Chaoge accepted Wu Tianlang's invitation and left with him as the Eight Gates disciples watched in confusion.

After reuniting with Xiao Yi Xian and Kimimaro, Nalan Chaoge gave Kimimaro a seventh-grade pill and promised to refine a Sect Breaking Pill for Wu Tianlang if he could obtain the ingredients. Wu Tianlang could not help Nalan Chaoge return to Jia Nan Academy, leaving Nalan Chaoge unsure how to enter the academy and pursue the Fallen Heart Flame.

• Nalan Chaoge explained how he impersonated Yuan Yi and stole treasures from the auction, then gave Kimimaro the seventh-grade pill.
• Wu Tianlang learned of Nalan Chaoge's alchemy achievements and asked him to refine a Sect Breaking Pill to help him break through from peak Dou Emperor.
• Nalan Chaoge agreed to refine the pill if Wu Tianlang prepared the herbs, asking in return for a way to reenter Jia Nan Academy.
• Wu Tianlang explained that the academy's rule barred expelled students from returning without the dean's permission, while Nalan Chaoge considered the academy's powerful defenses and his need to reach the Fallen Heart Flame.
• Wu Tianlang called himself an old man who would not trouble Nalan Chaoge, and Nalan Chaoge said he would call him Uncle Wu instead of Brother Wu.
