• Feng Chao Fei attacked Feng San when he accused her of letting Su He enter Phoenix Mountain, and they clashed with their Phoenix flames.

• Azure Thunder brooded over Su He calling him weak, then freed Zong Sunye from the Gla.s.s Cover and used lightning to help him become Eastern Cloud Mountain’s mountain god.

The Third Prince considered the threat Su He posed and the coming Profound Yellow Grotto-heaven, while Ya Ya thrived as Long Maple City’s beloved young city lord and invited Mystic Truth Daoist’s sect to help her conquer neighboring Luan City. Su He left Sword City Mountain and hurried toward Water Origin Palace, hoping to reach the Northern Chaos before the upgrading Jian Hexagram drained his Source Stones.
