• Xu Jie used the Dark Gold Spirit Staff and Golden Dragon Spear, and the Ice Dragon King’s Wronged Soul faded away.

After learning about the Aromatic Silk Beauty, he threatened to take its Heart of Silk Beauty and left Youyou crying as he insisted that crying counted toward the time limit.

• Xu Jie put away the Dragon King Bone, and the cold in the lake began to fade as the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well ceased to exist.

• The Three-Eyed Golden Lion detected someone approaching, and Ji Juechen left to deal with a potential intruder.

Outside Xiao Yunhan’s room, he promised to help Qian Ran and Dugu Lu advance their cultivation, leaving Dugu Lu facing an intense training plan.
