Meanwhile, Xiao Yun returned to the Vast Wilderness World, collected his companions’ rewards, and summoned several War Spirits, including the Mythic Gonggong.

• Gonggong used Ice Sealing Heaven and Earth to clear stages six through nine, but a demonized Fire Crow broke his attack at stage ten as a Demonic Erlang Shen Puppet thrust at him with its spear.

• Xiao Yun told Dugu Yan that her Green Viper Snake Poison was a serious problem and could keep her from becoming a Soul Saint.

• Xiao Yun used Green Lotus Sword Qi to drive poison from Dugu Yan’s arm and expel a drop of it into a dish.
