Chapter Summaries

Su Qingyun refused to return to the Misty Cloud Sect with Yun Yun immediately, promising to visit after Nalan Yanran's Three-Year Agreement and asking Yun Yun to keep their relationship and his strength secret. Before they parted, Yun Yun gave him valuable resources and Dou Techniques, then took him to a secluded ravine.

• Yun Yun led Su Qingyun into a secluded ravine and blocked the entrance with a Wind Wall, while the Little Amethyst Winged Lion wondered what was happening.

After Yun Yun left, Su Qingyun recovered enough to depart the Magical Beast Mountain Range with Little Zi and the Amethyst Winged Lion King’s treasures. He discovered the Seven-Colored Poison Sutra and other rare items among the hoard, then set out for Wu Tan City to learn how Xiao Yan, Xun'er, and the others were faring.
