Lin Hanye, Shao Xin, and Ling Yuan learned that Old Tai Tan had asked Clear Sky Sect for help and set a trap for him outside Heaven Dou City. Old Tai Tan entered their ambush alone and revealed his eight-ring Mighty Ape Possession as ice spikes surrounded him.

• Ling Yuan arrived with a letter from Old Tai Tan to Tang Wei requesting help from Clear Sky Sect and Bai He, and Lin Hanye decided to kill Old Tai Tan that night.
• Lin Hanye and Shao Xin left Heaven Dou City, while a Strength Clan disciple reported their departure to Old Tai Tan.

• Ling Yuan eagerly volunteered to accompany Lin Hanye to wipe out the Strength Clan.

Lin Hanye led Ling Yuan and Shao Xin in a covert attack on the Strength Clan branch in Heaven Dou City, aiming to kill its members and plunder its wealth without attracting the patrols. He entered the estate alone and began slaughtering its unsuspecting residents while Ling Yuan guarded the exits and Shao Xin searched the bodies.

• Lin Hanye warned Ling Yuan not to use her martial soul or start fires, and Shao Xin volunteered to help with the raid.

• The coroners concluded that three attackers with different Martial Souls had killed the branch’s members, and Sword Douluo reported traces of Divine Slaughter's Domain.

Bibi Dong and Sak steered suspicion for the Strength Clan massacre toward Tang Hao, while the Heaven Dou Empire arranged an investigation and delayed the tournament. When Clear Sky Sect and the affiliated clans arrived, Tang Hao’s absence fueled the Strength Clan’s resentment and left them convinced he was responsible for their deaths.

• Bibi Dong and Sword Douluo linked the massacre to Divine Slaughter's Domain, and Sak suggested the killer had sought revenge on Tang Hao by attacking the Strength Clan.
• Xue Ye ordered Xue Xing to collect the remains and postponed the Qualifying Rounds for three days, while Bibi Dong secretly instructed Sak to spread the claim that Tang Hao had caused the massacre.
• Seven days later, the Strength Clan, Clear Sky Sect, and the other affiliated clan leaders arrived, but Tang Hao was absent because he was in seclusion.
• Yang Wudi and Niu Gao criticized Tang Hao for failing to come, while Bai He defended his absence.
• Strength Clan members mourned their dead and blamed Tang Hao for provoking the person who slaughtered their clan.

Tang Bai focused on the Strength Clan’s missing Soul Bone rather than the murdered clansmen or Tai Tan’s disappearance, enraging Tai Kun and the other Single Attribute Sects. The chapter ended with the allied clans gathered in anger at Clear Sky Sect’s treatment of them.

• Tang Bai assured the Four Single Attribute Sects that Clear Sky Sect would investigate the murders and Tai Tan’s disappearance, denied rumors about Tang Hao, and promised the Strength Clan’s dead a place in the sect’s cemetery.
• Tang Bai asked Tai Kun whether Tai Tan had left behind a thirty-thousand-year Thousand Jun Ant Left Arm Bone, then pressed him about hidden rooms and compartments.
• Tai Kun told Tang Bai that he knew nothing of the Soul Bone and left in anger after Tang Bai lamented its loss.
• Tang Bai and Tang Xiao searched the Strength Clan residence but found no Soul Bone, and Tang Bai refused to report the matter to Tang Chen.
• Tai Kun told Yang Wudi, Niu Gao, Bai He, and the others that Tang Bai had questioned him about the Soul Bone, prompting outrage among the Four Single Attribute Sects.

Bibi Dong persuaded Sak, Chrysanthemum Pass, and Gui Mei that weakening the Clear Sky Sect would protect Spirit Hall and the common people, winning their support for her scheme to blame Tang Hao for the Strength Clan’s destruction. Lin Hanye learned the plan was unfolding as expected and reflected on the Clear Sky Sect’s disregard for its affiliated clans.

• Sak told Bibi Dong that rumors blaming Tang Hao for the Strength Clan’s misfortune had stirred resentment toward the Clear Sky Sect among the Four Single Attribute Sects.

• Chrysanthemum Pass, Gui Mei, and Sak pledged to serve Bibi Dong, who said she would take responsibility for her actions.
• Lin Hanye learned what had happened in Heaven Dou City and was surprised that events had become more interesting than he expected.
• Lin Hanye recalled asking Bibi Dong to redirect blame for the Strength Clan Branch’s destruction toward Tang Hao and criticized the Clear Sky Sect for demanding the Thousand Jun Ant Soul Bone instead of searching for Old Tai Tan.

• Liu Erlong reached level sixty, and Lin Hanye gave her the Ten Headed Fierce Yang Serpent Inner Core as her promised gift.

• The simulation offered Lin Hanye Bo Saixi's Undergarment, a God Bestowed Soul Ring, a Hundred Thousand Year Soft Bone Rabbit Right Leg Bone, a Hundred Thousand Year Soft Bone Rabbit Soul Ring, or a Million Year Sky Dream Ice Silkworm.

Lin Hanye passed on choosing two rewards from the simulation and reunited with Liu Erlong and Ah Yin, who both clung to him after waking from unusual experiences.

After Tang Wei accused her of fighting ruthlessly, she pointed out that his disciples had badly injured the Heaven Dou Royal Academy team, while secretly draining the Clear Sky Team members’ life force as she treated their poison.

• Bibi Dong’s ten-thousand-year fourth soul ring shocked the tournament audience, while Ning Fengzhi and Xue Ye discussed Haibodong as a future rival to Spirit Hall.
• Tang Jin and Tang Xiong attacked Bibi Dong as Tang Zhan and the other Clear Sky Team members formed a formation to boost Tang Zhan’s power.

• Qian Daoliu praised Qian Xunji’s handling of the tournament and said he did not truly blame Bibi Dong for provoking the Clear Sky Sect.

• Qian Daoliu advised Qian Xunji to expand the Qian Family and Angel Clan, and Qian Xunji said he loved Bibi Dong.
• Qian Daoliu asked whether Bibi Dong felt the same, and Qian Xunji claimed she had long admired him and planned to make his feelings clear after she reached Soul Saint.
• Bibi Dong told Qian Xunji she would depart for Slaughter City to gain Divine Slaughter's Domain and become strong enough to defeat Tang Hao.
• Bibi Dong asked Qian Xunji to grant her a wish if she returned alive, and he agreed, mistaking her request as a desire to marry him.
• Qian Xunji gave Bibi Dong a cyan Right Leg Bone from a Radiant Unicorn more than ninety thousand years old.

• A year later, Lin Hanye worked on Soul Master theory manuscripts at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well as a woman’s voice interrupted him.

Lin Hanye showed Ling Yuan his Soul Master Cultivation Manual, whose insights impressed her and made her realize she had chosen many of her soul rings poorly. He planned to offer it to Spirit Hall, but admitted he had a scheme involving Qian Xunji’s desire for Dong'er, leaving Ling Yuan suspicious.

• Ling Yuan read Lin Hanye’s Soul Master Cultivation Manual and admired its explanations of martial souls, soul rings, and cultivation.
• Ling Yuan regretted her past soul-ring choices, though she concluded that meeting Lin Hanye and obtaining an Immortal Herb and a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring had made things worthwhile.
• Lin Hanye explained that he had excluded advanced techniques and private knowledge because they were unsuitable for ordinary soul masters and he wanted to keep them from others.
• Ling Yuan asked whether Lin Hanye intended to establish a Soul Master Guild, and he said he planned to offer the manual to Spirit Hall.

The sect issued a search for the thieves and prepared Tang Hao’s succession ceremony, while Qian Xunji dismissed Tang Hao’s talent compared with the Saintess’s.

• Tang Wei named Tang Hao the next sect master, gave him the Titan Strength Right Arm Bone, and ordered him to hunt for his seventh soul ring before his succession ceremony.
