After Qiangu Dongfeng learned of the seizure, he concluded that Soul Beasts had enabled recent leaps in cultivation and went to seek Qiangu Dieting.

• Xia Yi refused Li Qingyue’s attempt to delay him and demanded that she take him to the Spirit Pagoda warehouse.
• Mo Wu arrived with over a hundred Mechas and refused to hand over the Soul Beasts without Federation orders, so Xia Yi ordered Zi Ji to deal with anyone who obstructed them.
