Gu Yue waited anxiously for Xia Yi as Lan Fozi urged her to eat, while Tang Wulin emerged from the Dragon Valley Small World and reported that Na'er and many Tang Sect disciples had been killed by Xia Yi. The Tang Sect elder tried to enter the Dragon Valley to confront Xia Yi, but the entrance closed and the Tang Sect lost its connection to the world.

She declared that Xia Yi was also the Dragon Kings’ Lord, and Di Tian began explaining what had happened to the soul beasts since the Dragon God War.

• Gu Yue, Lan Fozi, and the Beasts entered the Dragon Valley Small World and sensed Na'er’s life fading as she sacrificed herself.

Gu Yue and the Dragon Kings accepted Xia Yi as the soul beasts’ leader, and Gu Yue used the Dragon God Soul to help him seal the Golden Dragon King Essence in his Earth Cauldron.

After Xia Yi killed Na'er and the Tang Sect's Soul Fighting Hall disciples, the Spirit Pagoda sanctioned the Tang Sect and demanded an explanation from Shrek Academy. Yun Ming resolved to avenge Na'er, but Xia Yi appeared at the Dragon Valley entrance, leaving Ya Li fearing that the conflict would turn disastrous.

• The Tang Sect issued a kill order against Xia Yi, and Qiangu Dongfeng, Leng Yaozhu, and Zhang Geyang responded by sanctioning the Tang Sect and demanding answers from Shrek Academy over Na'er's attack.
• Zang Xin and Yun Ming arrived at the former Dragon Valley entrance, where Tang Wulin recounted how Na'er had died.
• Ya Li urged Yun Ming not to blame Xia Yi, arguing that Na'er had provoked him and that Shrek Academy had failed to teach her properly.
• Yun Ming vowed to avenge Na'er and said he expected the Sun Moon Federation to pressure the Spirit Pagoda into lifting its sanctions.
• A Nine-Colored Lightning Tribulation appeared, signaling Xia Yi's arrival, and Ya Li wondered whether Qiangu Dongfeng was letting Yun Ming and Zang Xin confront him deliberately.

At the entrance to the Dragon Valley Small World, Yun Ming tried to kill Xia Yi to avenge Na'er, but Ya Li stood between them and forced her husband to withdraw. Yun Ming left warning that he would still attack Xia Yi if Ya Li ever stopped protecting him.

• Gu Yue appeared with Xia Yi beneath the Nine-Colored Lightning Tribulation, while Lan Fozi arrived nearby, and Yun Ming concluded that Na'er’s consciousness was gone from Gu Yue.
• Yun Ming confronted Xia Yi and declared that he would kill him for Na'er’s death, then unleashed blazing-white spear intent.
• Ya Li pleaded with Yun Ming to consider the danger to Douluo Plane, but he said he was acting as a teacher seeking revenge, not as Sky-Piercing Douluo.
• Ya Li stood in front of Xia Yi and refused to let Yun Ming harm him unless he killed her first.
• Yun Ming withdrew, telling Ya Li to stay with Xia Yi forever if she intended to keep protecting him.

After Yun Ming left, Ya Li stayed close to Xia Yi to prevent Yun Ming from attacking him, despite her grief over Na'er and her anger toward Xia Yi. Back in Star Luo City, Ya Li learned that the Star Luo Empire and the Sun Moon Federation were deadlocked over the imprisoned Lan Haijun and the stolen remains of the Star Luo Empire’s ancestors.

• Yun Ming withdrew with Zang Xin and the Tang Sect and Star Luo Empire forces, while Ya Li stayed with Xia Yi and Gu Yue.
• Ya Li said she would protect Xia Yi until Yun Ming calmed down, though she still hated him and refused to forgive him for Na'er’s death.
• Xia Yi brought Ya Li, Gu Yue, and Lan Fozi back to Star Luo City, where Lan Fozi moved into their hotel room and Ya Li returned to hers.
• Ya Li followed Xia Yi and Gu Yue whenever they went out, fearing Yun Ming might attack Xia Yi.
• Ya Li learned that stolen ancestral remains had been traced to Lan Haijun, who remained imprisoned as the Sun Moon Federation and Star Luo Empire disputed which side could try her.

Zang Xin shut down the Tang Sect’s civilian companies to pressure the Sun Moon Federation into forcing the Spirit Pagoda to lift its sanctions, worsening shortages and unemployment. With both organizations refusing to yield, the Federation asked Ya Li to persuade Xia Yi to resolve the dispute, and Xia Yi rejected the appeal.

• Zang Xin blamed Ya Li for the Tang Sect’s predicament and ordered its civilian companies and factories to close, suspending the pay of millions of employees.
• The Tang Sect’s shutdown caused shortages, rising prices, and unemployment, while Zang Xin publicly blamed the Spirit Pagoda’s sanctions.
• The Spirit Pagoda and the Tang Sect both refused to compromise, leaving the Sun Moon Federation worried about unrest as the Sea God Legion deployed toward the Star Luo Empire.
• The Sun Moon Federal Government asked Ya Li to persuade Xia Yi to settle the dispute, but Xia Yi challenged the idea that he should bear responsibility.

Ya Li failed to persuade Xia Yi to apologize to the Tang Sect, so he decided to counter its shutdown by taking over its workers and market. He sent Leng Yulai to Douluo Continent to begin the effort, while the Demon Empress watched.

• Ya Li begged Xia Yi to apologize to the Tang Sect and pay respects to its victims, but he refused and blamed her and Yun Ming's students, along with the Tang Sect, for the crisis.
• Ya Li gave up on persuading Xia Yi and left after telling him she would never beg him again.
• Xia Yi asked the Demon Empress for money, then summoned Leng Yulai and explained that the Tang Sect had halted its businesses and factories.
• Xia Yi ordered Leng Yulai to recruit the dismissed workers and quickly seize as much of the Tang Sect's market and customers as possible.
• Leng Yulai agreed to act, with support expected from Leng Yaozhu, the Spirit Pagoda, the Federal Government, and the Demon Empress.

The Star Luo Empire’s court argued over whether to release Lan Haijun or fight the approaching Sea God Legion. After En Ci and Tong Yu sabotaged the fleet’s power systems, Chen Xinjie turned the damaged legion back toward Douluo Continent.

• Dai Tianling listened for four days as his ministers argued over Lan Haijun and the threat of war, without reaching a decision.
• En Ci and Tong Yu secretly boarded Sea God Legion battleships and tampered with their systems before slipping away.

• Chen Xinjie ordered the Sea God Legion to retreat and tow its disabled warships back to Douluo Continent.
• An inner attendant reported the retreat to Dai Tianling, who suspected the Imperial Preceptor and the others had succeeded.

Leng Yulai used federal backing to establish the Phoenix Group and absorb the Tang Sect’s displaced workers and business, while Zang Xin struggled with the fallout from his shutdown and the Spirit Pagoda’s sanctions. As Ya Li regretted misjudging Xia Yi, the Star Luo Emperor enfeoffed him as Sky Fox Duke with a vast territory west of Tianmu Mountain, where the Green Skull Organization operated.

• Leng Yulai founded the Phoenix Group, auctioned the remaining Four-Word Battle Armor to raise funds, and invited the Sun Moon Federal Government to take a controlling stake.
• The Federation supported the Phoenix Group, which drew Tang Sect workers and business away and gradually eased the disruption caused by the Tang Sect strike.
• Zang Xin rejected calls to reopen the Tang Sect’s companies and worried that the Spirit Pagoda’s sanctions would leave Tang Sect disciples unable to obtain Spirit Souls.
• After learning that Chen Xinjie and the Sea God Legion had suffered a heavy blow, Zang Xin contacted Hu Jie in the Star Luo Empire.
• Ya Li regretted accusing Xia Yi of being cold-hearted after learning that Leng Yulai had helped the people displaced by the Tang Sect strike.
• The Star Luo Emperor granted Xia Yi the title of Sky Fox Duke and a hereditary fief west of Tianmu Mountain, which Ya Li recognized as Green Skull Organization territory.

The Tang Sect struggled under the Spirit Pagoda’s sanctions and the Federation’s refusal to investigate Xia Yi, while its leaders debated how to protect the sect’s reputation and restore its operations. After three days of discussions, Cao Dezhi issued an apology blaming a temporary worker and offered Xia Yi compensation, leaving Xia Yi to decide whether to claim it.

• The Star Luo Empire enfeoffed Xia Yi as a duke, prompting the Tang Sect to accuse him of treason and demand an investigation into him and the Phoenix Group, but the Federation rejected the proposal and praised him instead.
• Zang Xin’s elders warned that the Spirit Pagoda’s sanctions were harming Tang Sect disciples and crippling the underground armory, while Zang Xin resisted apologizing to Xia Yi.
• Zang Xin consulted Cao Dezhi, who agreed the Tang Sect could apologize but insisted it could not admit the sect itself was at fault.
• Cao Dezhi gathered Tang Sect and Shrek Academy leaders and Guan Yue, and after three days they devised wording that blamed a temporary worker for the kill order and the closure of Tang Sect businesses.
• Cao Dezhi publicly apologized, said Zang Xin had dismissed the temporary worker, offered Xia Yi Lovesick Heartbreak Red if he collected it from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, and promised returning Tang Sect employees an extra month’s salary.

Zang Xin believed Xia Yi would fail to pick the Lovesick Heartbreak Red, while Xia Yi agreed to obtain it for Leng Yulai after Leng Yaozhu told him of the Tang Sect’s apology. Ya Li grew suspicious when she learned the Tang Sect was offering Xia Yi access to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, which it had previously refused to share with her and Yun Ming.

• Zang Xin laughed at the Tang Sect’s apology letter and assumed Xia Yi could never pick the Lovesick Heartbreak Red.
• Leng Yaozhu contacted Xia Yi through his Dream Wandering Immortal Technique and told him about the apology and the offered immortal herb.
• Leng Yaozhu asked Xia Yi to pick the Lovesick Heartbreak Red for Leng Yulai, and he agreed without hesitation.
• Xia Yi suspected the Tang Sect was hiding something, but he focused on obtaining the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well as well.
• Ya Li learned about the Tang Sect’s offer and recalled that Zang Xin and Cao Dezhi had previously denied her and Yun Ming access to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

Ya Li warned Xia Yi and Gu Yue that Tang Sect’s offer to let Xia Yi pick Lovesick Heartbreak Red could be a trap, explaining that the flower could only be picked through absolute devotion. Gu Yue insisted Xia Yi should try, and he joked that he could be devoted to both Yue'er and Zhu'er.

• Lan Fozi cooked for Xia Yi and Gu Yue while working toward a new set of Two-Word Battle Armor made with Xia Yi’s forged metal.

• Ya Li warned Gu Yue about Tang Sect’s motives and advised them not to risk traveling to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well for Lovesick Heartbreak Red.
• Ya Li explained that Lovesick Heartbreak Red could only be picked by someone whose love was completely sincere and undivided.
• Gu Yue said Xia Yi should try picking the flower, and Xia Yi joked that he could be wholeheartedly devoted to both Yue'er and Zhu'er.

Xia Yi, Gu Yue, and Lan Fozi discussed whether he could pick the Lovesick Heartbreak Red, while Lan Fozi began considering how she could stay close to Gu Yue. The Star Luo Empire then announced a public trial for Lan Haijun, leaving Xia Yi and the others surprised by the notice.

• Gu Yue admitted she did not want Xia Yi to test himself against the Lovesick Heartbreak Red, but promised to accept sharing him with Leng Yaozhu if he could pick it.
• Lan Fozi reconsidered Xia Yi and secretly decided that being with him might let her remain close to Gu Yue.
• Xia Yi asked whether the Demon Empress planned to remain imprisoned, and Lan Fozi explained that her mother had kept her away from the Holy Spirit Cult’s schemes to protect her.
• A message announced that Lan Haijun would face a public trial in three days for crimes involving the Imperial Mausoleum.
• Xia Yi dismissed the trial as a reckless move, and Gu Yue joked that she was now the duchess of the Star Luo Empire.

Dai Tianling weighed the Star Luo Empire’s options after learning that hundreds of its ancestral graves had been robbed and the Sun Moon Federation was preparing a massive military deployment. He refused to hand Lan Haijun over and insisted on a public trial, leaving Wu Tianrong confident that his family’s fortunes would depend on whether the Star Luo Empire survived the coming conflict.

• Wu Tianling reported that hundreds of imperial and noble graves on the Douluo Continent had been robbed, and Dai Tianling questioned the Sun Moon Federation’s account blaming the Holy Spirit Cult.
• Wu Tianling said the Sun Moon Federation was mobilizing five legions and urged Dai Tianling to hand Lan Haijun over to avoid provoking an attack.
• Dai Tianling suspected the grave theft and Lan Haijun’s role might have been orchestrated by the Sun Moon Federation, but insisted that Lan Haijun be publicly tried to satisfy the Star Luo Empire’s nobles.
• Dai Tianling told Wu Tianrong that the Star Luo Empire had hidden foundations and promised to discuss the Wu Family’s return to the clan and Wu Siduo’s marriage to Dai Yueyan after the trial and the defeat of the Federation’s army.
• Wu Tianrong set aside his concern about the Star Luo Empire’s possible destruction, while Dai Tianling privately resolved that Wu Tianrong would preserve the White Tiger Lineage if the empire fell.

Wu Tianrong learned that the Federation had arrested Wu Family spies and encircled the clan, while Wu Siduo rejected her father’s plan to marry her to Dai Yueyan. Federation leaders then discussed the remaining suspects, with Chen Xinjie saying he had negotiated with Shrek Academy to hand over suspected Xu Family traitors.

• Wu Siduo rejected Wu Tianrong’s plan for her to marry Dai Yueyan and said Dai Yueyan would have to defeat her first.
• Wu Tianxin told Wu Tianrong that Federal Police had arrested Wu Tian and his group in Ming City for espionage.

• Chen Xinjie said he had negotiated with Shrek Academy to hand over Xu Family members suspected of colluding with the Star Luo Empire.

After the Wu Family was punished for betraying the Sun Moon Federation, Xia Hong's officers received promotions while she again went without credit. In the Star Luo Empire, Dai Tianling planned to exploit the Green Skull Organization and Xia Yi to draw them into a conflict with the Sun Moon Federation.

• The Sun Moon Federation sentenced Wu Family members involved in the treason, sending those above Soul Emperor to the Blood God Legion and executing or imprisoning others.
• Xia Hong's officers protested that she had been denied credit for arresting and interrogating Wu Tian, but she said she cared more about protecting her team's merits than her own advancement.
• Wu Tianrong asked Dai Tianling to avenge the Wu Family, while Dai Tianshu urged him to surrender Lan Haijun rather than face the Federation's five legions.
• Dai Tianling revealed that the Green Skull Organization's hidden trump card was Tian, a god-level being, and argued that the organization would need the Star Luo Empire's help against the Federation.
• Dai Tianling planned to send Xia Yi, the Sky Fox Duke, to the Sky Fox Domain, using the Green Skull Organization's response to force it into conflict or cooperation with the Star Luo Empire.

Dai Tianling’s public trial of Lan Haijun collapsed when she was rescued, and his claim that she had died by suicide was exposed as false. Lan Haijun reunited with Xia Yi and the Demon Empress, who had gone to the market to buy groceries for their meal.

• Dai Tianling addressed the crowd at Star Luo Plaza and announced that Lan Haijun would be publicly tried for robbing the imperial tombs.
• When Lan Haijun failed to appear, En Ci told Dai Tianling that she had been rescued and that Golden Roc Douluo and the guards had been killed.
