Long Xingyu learned of Long Haochen’s heritage and resolved to kill him, but Bai Yue and Long Tianyin arrived and revealed that Bai Yue was Demon God Emperor Feng Xiu’s daughter. Long Xingyu was left facing the truth about Bai Yue’s bloodline and Long Haochen’s origins.

• Long Tianyin explained that Bai Yue’s mother had exchanged her blood and converted her spiritual energy, leaving her frail and masking her Dark Aura; he suggested Long Xingyu perform a blood fusion with Long Haochen.
