• Zhunti senses that the opportunity attracting them—several powerful spiritual treasures—is located within the tribe. The treasures are connected to the Witch Race’s protective White Lotus Platforms and appear to resonate with Golden Immortal and Grand Unity Golden Immortal-level beings.
• Jieyin uses his Causality Law to investigate the tribe and detects three hidden late-stage Grand Unity Golden Immortal experts: Ink Jade Qilin, Ao Jiang, and Feng Jiu.
• Despite recognizing the tribe’s extraordinary strength and its potential to become a future hegemon, Jieyin decides that its future importance does not matter in the present. He and Zhunti resolve to seize the treasures by force.
• Jieyin persuades Zhunti that the Witch Race must either surrender its treasures or be destroyed before it can develop into a major power.
• Both brothers release the auras of peak Grand Unity Golden Immortals and charge toward the tribe.

• Jieyin is shown as calculating, arrogant, and ruthlessly opportunistic. His mastery of the Causality Law allows him to detect the hidden guardians, but he uses this knowledge not to avoid conflict, but to assess whether the tribe can be safely robbed or destroyed.
