Meanwhile, Jun Changxiao reached the Fifth-Rank Prefecture, heard reports of a Demonic Sect clash, and arrived at the foot of Wonderful Flower Palace’s mountain.

• Jun Changxiao asked Xi Jingxuan to dismiss the elders so he could discuss an important matter with her privately.

After Yao Mengying recalled a dream in which Jun Changxiao and the Iron Bone Sect defended her, Jun ordered the sect to keep her Innate Demonic Body secret and continued developing the sect. Zhenyang County’s expansion remained a concern, while the chapter ended with Xi Jingxuan arriving at the Iron Bone Sect with her disciples.

• Yao Mengying remembered her dream of Jun Changxiao and the senior disciples protecting her from people who called her a remnant of the Demonic Dao.

After refreshing the System Mall, he discovered a powerful field cannon and decided to buy it in preparation for Zhenyang County’s attack.

• Jun Changxiao decided to buy the cannon to prepare for Zhenyang County’s impending attack.

Jun Changxiao tested a Magically Modified Field Cannon, whose blast devastated a distant mountain and left him, Xiao Ziji, and Su Xiaomo temporarily deaf. He then bought a Soldier-Summoning Universe Bag and five AK47s to prepare for Zhenyang County, while Little Dragon Dragon remained in hibernation.

• Jun Changxiao found Little Dragon Dragon still hibernating and bought a Soldier-Summoning Universe Bag containing one hundred thousand Spirit Beans.
• Jun Changxiao bought five AK47s and worried that his remaining Contribution Points were running low.

Jun Changxiao tested the Soldier-Summoning Universe Bag and discovered its Spirit Beans could become a vast army of soldiers that he could control and command in battle. After they defeated Wolf Cavalry Hall in a military exercise, Tao Yuan realized Ironbone Sect could make Zhenyang County’s planned invasion difficult.
