Yan Shaozhe arrived to warn Xue Feng and invite the Dou Ling Empire to a Shrek-led alliance conference against the Evil Soul Masters, and Xue Feng agreed to send a representative.

Chen Junting and the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect representatives arrived at Shrek Academy’s alliance meeting, where they learned that the Dou Ling Empire had invaded the Heaven Dou and Star Luo Empires before agreeing to return some occupied territory. As the factions resumed arguing over the invasion, Elder Song began the meeting and set the dispute aside.

Chen Junting proposed that Wang Dong'er take Huo Yuhao and the others with her for the Sea God Divine Examination, but the Sea God Family arrived at Shrek Academy to claim her inheritance. Chen Juntao's forces overwhelmed the academy's defenders until an unseen newcomer boosted them with a Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda.

• The Godly Taotie Bull fell toward Shrek City but landed on Chen Junting’s formation, which enveloped half its body in killing intent.

Chen Junting watched Chen Juntao and Xuan Zi escalate their battle until Chen Junting intervened with the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation. With Wang Dong'er beside him, he stopped the fight and proposed negotiations.

• Chen Juntao used the Vast Sea Domain and compressed the storm clouds into a devastating droplet, which Xuan Zi resisted by transforming into a Taotie.

The agreement was finalized, and Chen Juntao ordered Sea Dragon Douluo to remain with the alliance as the rest of the Sea God Family returned home.

Chen Junting helped arrange for Sea God Douluo Chen Juntao and Sea Dragon Douluo to stay in the Sea God Pavilion, then tested Huo Yuhao’s emotion-based soul skill and found it too weak and slow. To help Huo Yuhao attract the God of Emotion’s attention and protect Wang Dong’er, Chen Junting placed him in an intense illusion, which left Huo Yuhao’s soul spirits eagerly watching its bizarre melodrama.

• Chen Juntao requested rooms in the Sea God Pavilion, and Xuan Zi consulted the Senior Elders before agreeing to host him and Sea Dragon Douluo there.

• Huo Yuhao woke in the Nine Treasures Pavilion and discovered that all seven of his Soul Spirits had seen his illusion, with Evil Eye calling it a soap opera.

• The group selected Dugu Xin, Xiao Xiao, Huo Yuhao, Wu Feng, Gu Tianchen, Ji Juechen, and Ye Guyi as the seven candidates.
• Chen Junting and the others reported the candidates to the sect and instructed them to assemble at Shrek Academy as soon as possible.
