Huoyun Cave’s Li Tianming and Sun Wu came to Yunjin City and threatened the Yang Family into handing over Zhi Hua or Wei Fan, but Yang Tao refused.

Wei Fan and Feng Hua learned that taboos were undying beings tied to former supreme experts, then traveled to Vajra Gate after the Demon Hunter Organization summoned them to help with the deadly incident there. They arrived as civilians were being evacuated and joined nearly fifty Territory Suppressing Generals waiting outside the silent, mist-shrouded sect.

• Wei Fan realized only those he personally killed appeared as shadows on the Myriad Spirits Bell, and he considered hunting demons to strengthen it.

• Zhou Shen entered the Vajra Gate while Qu Qiancheng carried the main formation banner toward it.

Wei Fan and the others struggled to hold the Eight Trigrams Demon Sealing Formation against the awakening taboo presence inside Vajra Gate. As Zhou Shen risked his life fighting it, a ghostly figure appeared before Wei Fan and revealed itself as the Netherworld Martial Emperor, still searching for its long-lost body.

• Qu Rong joined the formation as roars from Vajra Gate disrupted its power, and Qu Rong recognized Wei Fan as the Demon Hunter Netherflame.
• Wei Fan urged the others to seal their five senses, stabilizing the formation as it pressed against the force inside Vajra Gate.
• A deafening roar awakened the taboo presence, blasted the Eight Trigrams diagram skyward, and injured Scarface and the other Territory Suppressing Generals with backlash.
• Zhou Shen manifested his Dharma Form and used the main formation flag to press the formation down with his Martial Saint power.
• A ghostly figure in ancient coarse linen appeared near Wei Fan and Feng Hua, claiming to be the Netherworld Martial Emperor and asking them to help find its body.
