Wei Yang and the others fought their way out of the Beast Tide and reached the Bodhi Ancient Tree, where its immense presence left them in awe. As they approached, Wei Yang and a few companions sensed a faint danger and suspected the Emperor's Curse.

• Wei Yang led the group through increasingly powerful Ferocious Beasts and out of the Beast Tide, where an invisible barrier stopped the beasts from following.
