Qian Renxue and Li Jiaqi planned to mislead the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect while preserving Spirit Hall’s spies, but Chrysanthemum Douluo failed to convince Sovereign Ning that Spirit Hall had not taken Ning Rongrong. Meanwhile, Zhuge Lan’s group decided to attack the remaining fortresses and began by demolishing the Fifth Fortress.
