He and his companions stayed in the Star Dou Great Forest, where Xiao Wu and Qing Lin reached Level 40, while the search for the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger remained unresolved.

• Gu Yi concluded he could create fifteen Blood Shadow Puppets but could fully control only three at once, and he put Tang Hao’s puppet away.

• Gu Yi replenished his vital blood using Blood Pellets and the life energy around the Lake of Life, but decided to wait until he was stronger before pursuing the Gold of Life.

Gu Yi absorbed the Eight Spider Lances and then entered Sunset Forest with Xiao Wu and Qing Lin, aiming to reach the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. There, they unexpectedly encountered Zhao Wuji and the Shrek group hunting a soul ring for Oscar, and Gu Yi realized they had come to Sunset Forest to avoid him.

• Gu Yi questioned Zhao Wuji about Flender and Tang San, and Zhao Wuji revealed that they had gone to the sealed-off Clear Sky Sect.
