After returning from the Vast Wilderness World, Xiao Yun adjusted to his immortal body and visited Xue Qinghe in her study. He began sharing an urgent piece of news after privately meeting with her.

• Xiao Yun returned to the Douluo World, adapted to his increased strength, and discovered that an invisible force made it difficult to use Immortal Qi outside his body.
• Xiao Yun went to Xue Qinghe's Study Room, where he waited as she deliberately finished her government affairs before meeting him.

• Xue Qinghe entered the study and was briefly struck by Xiao Yun's appearance before greeting him.
• After Xue Qinghe dismissed the maids and guards, Xiao Yun said he had received important news concerning many people.

Xiao Yun led Xue Qinghe to suspect that Tang San was Tang Hao’s son and that Shrek Academy’s students might be forming an alliance. He advised her to dismantle the group step by step, beginning with Dai Mubai.

• Xiao Yun questioned Xue Qinghe about Tang San’s unusual Innate Full Soul Power and suggested he might have a hidden Martial Soul.
• Xue Qinghe realized Tang San could possess Twin Martial Souls, then connected his age, surname, and blacksmith father to Tang Hao and the Clear Sky Sect.
• Xue Qinghe worried that Tang San and his Shrek companions might be part of a dangerous alliance involving powerful clans and rival nations.
• Xiao Yun advised Xue Qinghe to target Dai Mubai first, which could also drive Zhu Zhuqing away, and to have Ning Fengzhi recall Ning Rongrong.
• Xue Qinghe found Xiao Yun’s plan reassuring and remarked that he would be a troublesome opponent if he were not an ordinary person.

Xiao Yun told Xue Qinghe that Tang San might be Tang Hao’s son, and Qian Renxue sought Qian Daoliu’s advice on how to respond. Xiao Yun then waited near Spirit Hall Plaza while Zhu Zhuqing debated whether to meet the person who had contacted her.

• Xiao Yun explained that dealing with Dai Mubai would likely cause little lasting harm, then advised Xue Qinghe to think carefully about Tang San before leaving.
• Qian Renxue contacted Qian Daoliu and reported that Tang Hao might appear in Heaven Dou City; Qian Daoliu told her not to target Tang San and warned her to be cautious around Xiao Yun.
• Xiao Yun went to a tavern near Spirit Hall Plaza and waited for Zhu Zhuqing to decide whether to meet him.
• Flender went out alone, Zhao Wuji took Tang San, Ma Hongjun, Dai Mubai, and Oscar to the Great Soul Arena, and Ning Rongrong, Xiao Wu, and Zhu Zhuqing went shopping.
• Zhu Zhuqing weighed whether the invitation was genuine or a trap as she shopped with Ning Rongrong.

Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, and Xiao Wu visited Spirit Hall Plaza, where Xiao Yun disguised as an old man stopped them from entering because a Titled Douluo inside could expose Xiao Wu as a Soul Beast. He warned Xiao Wu, then teased Ning Rongrong and secretly sent Immortal Qi into her body.

• Zhu Zhuqing questioned who had sent them flowers, but she and Ning Rongrong decided to visit Spirit Hall Plaza with Xiao Wu.
• Xiao Yun sensed the three women arriving and worried that a Titled Douluo inside Spirit Hall would discover Xiao Wu's identity.

• Xiao Yun warned Xiao Wu that a Titled Douluo was inside, and she realized he had recognized her as a Soul Beast and thanked him.
• Xiao Yun identified Ning Rongrong and claimed he would discipline her on Ning Fengzhi's behalf, then flicked her forehead and secretly sent Immortal Qi into her body.

Xiao Yun spoke privately with Xiao Wu while Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing meditated, revealing that he knew she was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast and warning her about the danger of trusting Tang San. He left her questioning how her identity had stayed hidden and whether someone had protected her.

• Taibai's energy led Zhu Zhuqing to enter deep meditation alongside Ning Rongrong, while Xiao Wu remained wary of Xiao Yun.

• Xiao Yun pointed out that Xiao Wu's unusual surname could have raised suspicion and speculated that someone might have protected her identity, which Xiao Wu denied knowing.

Xiao Yun challenged Xiao Wu’s faith in Yu Xiaogang, arguing that Yu had plagiarized his famous theories and explaining his ties to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. The chapter ended with Xiao Yun revealing that Yu Xiaogang’s father had spent resources trying to help him before casting him out after he failed to break through level twenty-nine.

• Xiao Yun told Xiao Wu that a powerful figure had guaranteed Tang San’s identity and dismissed Yu Xiaogang as an ineffective Soul Master.
• Xiao Wu defended Yu Xiaogang, but Xiao Yun criticized his theories and argued that the Ten Core Spirit Theories were copied from others.
• Xiao Yun asked Xiao Wu to recite the major human Soul Master powers, then connected Yu Xiaogang’s surname to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
• Xiao Yun revealed that the clan head, Yu Yuanzhen, was Yu Xiaogang’s father and explained that Yu Xiaogang had a mutated Martial Soul and only 0.5 levels of Innate Soul Power.
• Xiao Yun said Yu Yuanzhen had invested resources in his son, but Yu Xiaogang was cast out of the clan at seventeen or eighteen after failing to break through level twenty-nine.

Xiao Yun told Xiao Wu about Yu Xiaogang’s past, including how he gained secret knowledge, formed the Golden Triangle with Flender and Liu Erlong, and separated from Liu Erlong after learning they were related. He left Xiao Wu questioning whether Yu Xiaogang had known Liu Erlong’s identity before their relationship began.

• Xiao Yun said Yu Xiaogang had used a young girl’s affection to learn secret Soul Master knowledge, then published what he learned as his Ten Core Martial Soul Theories.
• Xiao Yun explained that Yu Xiaogang, Flender, and Liu Erlong formed the Golden Triangle and developed the Golden Sacred Dragon Martial Soul Fusion Skill.
• Xiao Wu guessed that the Golden Triangle had broken apart because of romantic conflict, and Xiao Yun said Flender had withdrawn so Liu Erlong could be with Yu Xiaogang.
• Xiao Yun revealed that Liu Erlong was Yu Xiaogang’s half-niece, and that they parted when Yu Xiaogang’s second uncle told them the truth on their wedding night.
• Xiao Yun questioned whether Yu Xiaogang had known Liu Erlong’s identity, arguing that he might have discovered it after they had spent time together.

Xiao Yun argued that Yu Xiaogang pursued Liu Erlong to gain control of the Golden Triangle, then suggested Tang San was secretly connected to the Clear Sky Sect. Xiao Wu remained skeptical, but Xiao Yun pointed to Tang San’s hammer and Zhao Wuji’s silence as evidence.

• Xiao Yun told Xiao Wu that Yu Xiaogang may have investigated Liu Erlong’s identity and pursued her to secure influence over the Golden Triangle.
• Xiao Yun said Liu Erlong’s father exposed the relationship on their wedding day, causing Yu Xiaogang to leave and the Golden Triangle to break apart; Xiao Wu rejected his theory.
• Xiao Yun reminded Xiao Wu that she might soon meet Liu Erlong and urged her to ask about Yu Xiaogang herself.
• Xiao Yun suggested Tang San’s surname pointed to the Clear Sky Sect and reminded Xiao Wu that Tang San had used a hammer against Zhao Wuji.

Xiao Yun warned Xiao Wu that Tang Hao had recognized her as a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast and intended to let her grow close to Tang San. He then told Xiao Wu how Tang Hao and Ah Yin’s relationship ended in her sacrifice, leaving Xiao Wu to question what had really happened.

• Xiao Yun told Xiao Wu that a Titled Douluo had secretly watched her and was likely Tang Hao, who recognized her identity and hoped she would become Tang San’s Spirit Ring and Spirit Bone.
• Xiao Wu rejected Xiao Yun’s claim, so he began recounting Tang Hao and Ah Yin’s past.
• Xiao Yun explained that Tang Hao and his brother Tang Xiao both loved Ah Yin, but Ah Yin chose Tang Hao and later married him.
• Xiao Yun said Tang Hao and Ah Yin fled the Clear Sky Sect after Ah Yin’s identity as a Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Grass was discovered, while Spirit Hall pursued them.
• Xiao Yun recounted how Spirit Hall’s Pope Qian Xunji surrounded the couple, forcing Ah Yin to sacrifice herself; Tang Hao then wounded the Pope, killed another Titled Douluo, and disappeared.
• Xiao Wu wondered why Ah Yin and Tang Hao had been surrounded, and Xiao Yun explained that Ah Yin should have been able to control nearby Blue Silver Grass and learn what was happening through it.

• Xiao Yun questioned how Tang Hao and his wife had been discovered, leaving Xiao Wu unable to explain the circumstances.
• Xiao Yun told Xiao Wu he had no need for Spirit Rings or Spirit Bones and had warned her because a transformed Soft Bone Rabbit had once helped him.
• Xiao Wu chose to remain by Tang San’s side, and Xiao Yun sent Green Lotus Sword Qi into her to hide her identity and let him sense her condition.
• Xiao Yun told Xiao Wu to keep their conversation secret, and they calmly drank tea as Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing began to wake.
• Ning Rongrong woke feeling refreshed, traded teasing remarks with Xiao Yun, and said her Soul Power had become much higher in quality.

Xiao Yun helped Zhu Zhuqing evolve her Martial Soul into the powerful Night King Cat, then sealed its new abilities at her request so she could keep them hidden. Ning Rongrong wondered whether the special aura had changed her own Martial Soul and summoned her Treasure Pagoda to find out.

• Ning Rongrong thanked Xiao Yun, who asked her to look after Xiao Yun, the young innkeeper outside Heaven Dou City.
• Zhu Zhuqing's Hell Spirit Cat evolved into the Night King Cat, and she awoke, thanked Xiao Yun, and asked him to take her as his disciple.
• Xiao Yun refused to become Zhu Zhuqing's master and again asked her to look after Xiao Yun; Zhu Zhuqing described her evolved Martial Soul to Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu.
• Zhu Zhuqing asked Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu to keep her evolution secret and demonstrated that she could disguise the Night King Cat as her original Martial Soul.
• Xiao Yun sealed Zhu Zhuqing's evolved Martial Soul with an Immortal Qi array so she could reveal it only in a true crisis.
• Ning Rongrong summoned her Treasure Pagoda to check whether her Martial Soul had also evolved.

• Ning Rongrong confirmed her Martial Soul had evolved, and Xiao Yun explained that his aura could only cause such an evolution the first time and at a low level.
• Xiao Yun rode a cloud into the sky and secretly told Zhu Zhuqing to seek protection from the innkeeper Xiao Yun if she needed freedom or faced danger.
• Ning Rongrong asked Zhao Wuji to let her return to her sect, but he tried to stop her because Shrek Academy planned to negotiate with Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
• Ning Rongrong threatened to summon the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect’s aid, and Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing intervened to calm her and Zhao Wuji.
• Ning Rongrong left the tavern, and members of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect gathered around her and escorted her away.
