• Xiao Yun suppressed the King of Earth, provoked the Ten-Thousand-Year Flood Dragon, and guided a Man Faced Demon Spider and Fire Sickle Centipede toward the camp.

• A six-thousand-year Fire Sickle Centipede emerged near the camp, leading Flender to suspect that someone was targeting the group.
• Tang San's Blue Silver Entanglement failed to restrain the centipede, so Flender ordered him to protect the others.
• Dai Mubai, Tailong, Xiao Wu, Ma Hongjun, Oscar, and Jiang Zhu took positions to defend the group and prepare for escape or healing.

Xiao Yun drew out several powerful Soul Beasts to place the Shrek group in a deadly predicament. Tang San rescued Tailong from the Human-Faced Spider’s first strike and took charge of facing it as the chapter ended.

• Xiao Yun watched the surrounded Shrek group and wondered when Tang San would reveal his trump card and whether his father would keep watching.
• Tang San steadied the group, assigned his companions their tasks, and stepped forward to face the Human-Faced Spider.

Tang San narrowly escaped the Man Faced Demon Spider’s ambush after Xiao Yun secretly diverted its venomous spike, and Xiao Yun confirmed that Tang Hao was watching from hiding. As the other battles continued to threaten the group, Liu Erlong entered Dragon Transformation and renewed her assault on the Ten-Thousand-Year Flood Dragon.

• Tang San used his secret arts and Eight Spider Lances to withstand the Man Faced Demon Spider while Oscar prepared Flying Sausages and Xiao Wu stood ready to help.

• Xiao Yun used his Spiritual Sense to locate Tang Hao, noticed his unstable aura, and concluded that Tang San was likely safe with him secretly protecting the battle.
• Liu Erlong, struggling to defeat the Ten-Thousand-Year Flood Dragon while worrying about the campsite, released her Martial Soul Avatar and transformed into her Dragon Transformation state.
• Liu Erlong tore through the flood dragon’s icy breath and charged forward to attack it with her dragon claws.

• Liu Erlong overwhelmed the Ten-Thousand-Year Flood Dragon with her Dragon Transformation Claws, but it escaped toward its lair as her strength began to run out.
• Xiao Yun left the Shrek campsite, trusting Tang Hao to handle the danger there, and followed Liu Erlong and the flood dragon to its cold pool.

• The dying flood dragon struck Liu Erlong with its tail, dispelling her dragon transformation and leaving her unconscious as it died beside the pool.

Xiao Yun collected a Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Attribute Flood Dragon Torso Bone and the dragon’s corpse, but the creature’s heart blood caused the unconscious Liu Erlong to lose control and Xiao Yun to succumb to desire. Afterward, he dressed her, left her hidden behind a rock, and disappeared, leaving him to face the consequences of what happened.

• Xiao Yun discovered and stored the Ten-Thousand-Year Flood Dragon’s Torso Spirit Bone and corpse.

• Tang San sat beside the Four-Thousand-Year Human-Faced Spider’s corpse and absorbed its soul ring.

After Tang Hao secretly rescued the group, Xiao Yun confirmed his presence and condition while Tang San absorbed the Man Faced Demon Spider’s Soul Ring. Tang San became a Soul Ancestor and demonstrated his new fourth skill, Blue Silver Prison, as the group recovered from the attack.

• Xiao Wu told Liu Erlong that a Clear Sky Hammer had driven off the Fire Sickle Centipede and wounded the Man Faced Demon Spider, allowing Tang San to kill it and absorb its Soul Ring.

Flender persuaded Liu Erlong to let the injured Shrek group remain in Sunset Forest for two more days to hunt Soul Rings, while Xiao Yun followed them and gathered medicinal herbs.

• Xiao Yun escaped into the distance, while Tang Hao returned to Tang San more battered and resolved to guard him more carefully.
• Xiao Yun concluded that his warning to Xiao Wu and the clash would hinder Tang San and Xiao Wu’s relationship, then headed away from the Shrek group.
• Ge Shan’s Soul Hunting Team entered the Sunset Queen Bee territory and was surrounded by a massive, coordinated swarm.
• Ge Shan tried to repel the bees with his Ya Zi Martial Soul, but the swarm resisted his intimidation and attacked more fiercely.

Ge Shan’s group was nearly overwhelmed by a Sunset Queen Bee swarm in Sunset Forest until Xiao Yun arrived and used Puppet Thread to control the Queen Bee. After the swarm retreated, Ge Shan led the exhausted team toward the forest’s edge.

• The Queen Bees battered the Rock Turtle Soul Emperor’s shield while Ge Shan, Sylvia, Shenghua, and the others failed to break through or send a signal for help.
• Sylvia noticed the swarm was deliberately driving the group, and Ge Shan ordered everyone to conserve Soul Power and hold their ground.
• Xi Weiya’s Spiritual Sense reached Xiao Yun, who sensed the danger through the Spatial Coordinates he had left on Sylvia and Shenghua and rushed to the battlefield.

• Xiao Yun ordered the Queen Bee to recall the swarm, and the bees stopped attacking and returned to their hive.
• Ge Shan gathered the exhausted group and led them toward the outer edge of Sunset Forest.

Xiao Yun strengthened the Sunset Queen Bee and tasked her colony with monitoring Sunset Forest, then replenished supplies at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and protected it with a new formation. After learning that the Shrek group had safely hunted Soul Rings and was preparing to leave, he concluded that the forest’s turmoil had temporarily ended.

• Xiao Yun concluded that the Shrek group’s troubles had temporarily ended and that his plans had achieved their main purpose.

Xiao Yun returned to Heaven Dou Royal Academy and found Xue Qianren, Tang Yuehua, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing gathered in his apartment. He learned that Dugu Bo had taken Dugu Yan home and demanded that Xiao Yun visit the Dugu Residence, leaving him to face the reason behind the summons.

• Xiao Yun respectfully greeted Dugu Bo, who watched him with a stern expression and the pressure of a Titled Douluo.

Dugu Bo confronted Xiao Yun over Dugu Yan’s chastity and accepted his promises to marry and protect her, but Xiao Yun soon rushed away after sensing an attack on Tang Yuehua. At Moonlight Pavilion, Tang Lang insulted Tang Yuehua while demanding increased supplies from the Clear Sky Sect.

• Dugu Bo set three conditions for Xiao Yun to marry Dugu Yan: reach Titled Douluo strength, protect and never betray her, and give one of their future children the Dugu surname.
• Xiao Yun accepted the conditions, and Dugu Bo joined his and Dugu Yan’s hands and welcomed him as his future grandson-in-law.
• As Xiao Yun prepared to leave Dugu Manor with Dugu Yan, he sensed that his protective mark on Tang Yuehua had been triggered by a malicious attack and vanished to respond.
• At Moonlight Pavilion, Tang Yuehua learned that Tang Lang had come from the Clear Sky Sect instead of Tang Long and allowed him to request thirty percent more supplies.
• Tang Lang dismissed Tang Yuehua as an ordinary person who could not cultivate and told her to focus on providing resources for the sect.

Tang Lang tried to force Tang Yuehua to surrender Moonlight Pavilion and attacked her when she refused, then used the protective mark around her body as an excuse to seize her. Xiao Yun appeared in time to stop him, and the chapter ended with Xiao Yun shielding Tang Yuehua and asking what had happened.

• Tang Lang demanded that Tang Yuehua provide women for his entertainment, but she refused and offered him Gold Soul Coins instead.
