• At night, Spirit Hall's forces surrounded the Blood Soul Masters' lair in Silves City as Zhou Chen flew overhead on the Xuanyuan Sword with Hu Liena.

Zhou Chen watched Spirit Hall's Silent Extinction Squad raid an Evil Soul Master lair, initially reassured by the squad's strength. The raid collapsed when the underground altar's corpses exploded and spread deadly poison, leaving the surviving attackers to face a deadly trap.

• Hu Liena explained that Spirit Hall's Silent Extinction Squad consisted of five Soul Douluos and twenty Soul Sages trained to fight together.
