Chapter Summaries

Bai Ge and Xiao Xun'er departed with the Xiao Family’s new Jia Nan Academy students, while the story shifted to the Black Corner Region, where guests arrived seeking Han Feng’s help. The convoy headed for Jia Nan Academy as Kuang Shan hoped Han Feng would make a pill for the Purple Huang You Snake.

• Bai Ge and Xiao Xun'er boarded a carriage with the other Xiao Family students and set off in a convoy bound for Jia Nan Academy.
• Xiao Xun'er released Long-tailed Fire Fox from her storage ring and played with it during the journey.
• In the Black Corner Region, Kuang Shan brought Mo Liao and the Purple Huang You Snake to Han Feng’s residence.
• Kuang Shan assured Mo Liao that Han Feng could likely refine a Seventh-grade Human Transformation Pill using his Sea Heart Flame.
• Kuang Shan hoped Han Feng would reward him with a Dou Ling Pill for bringing two Dou Emperor-level experts.

Kuang Shan brought Mo Liao and the Purple Huang You Snake to meet Han Feng, who promised a seventh-grade Human Transformation Pill in exchange for their help with his plans. Han Feng asked them to capture Jia Nan Academy students outside the Black Corner Region, and Mo Liao departed to carry out the task.

• Kuang Shan introduced Mo Liao and the Purple Huang You Snake to Han Feng at the Han Residence.
• The Purple Huang You Snake asked Han Feng to refine a seventh-grade Human Transformation Pill, and Mo Liao offered their support for Han Feng's undertaking in return.

• Mo Liao agreed to act outside the Black Corner Region and flew away, while Kuang Shan asked Han Feng for a Dou Ling Pill.

The convoy from Wutan City passed through Town Ghost Pass, where Bai Ge spotted a Soul Hall spirit body in the sky. After waiting until the convoy stopped for the evening, he secretly captured it and returned with Snow Rabbits for Xiao Xun'er.

• The convoy reached Town Ghost Pass, and Bai Ge noticed black qi drifting above the fortress.
• Bai Ge used Spirit Seizing and General Dispatching to confirm he could control the Soul Hall spirit body, but waited so Xiao Xun'er would not notice.
• When the convoy stopped for the evening, Bai Ge left under the excuse of hunting game and traveled back near Town Ghost Pass.
• Bai Ge dragged the Soul Hall spirit body from the sky, captured it, and suppressed it within his body.
• Bai Ge caught several Snow Rabbits and headed back toward the convoy.

Bai Ge discovered that Mo Liao and the Purple Huang You Snake were preparing to abduct people from a Jia Nan Academy convoy on Han Feng’s orders. He told Mo Liao to proceed the next day and promised to mark the captives for him.

• After the convoy reached the edge of the Black Domain Great Plains, Bai Ge sensed familiar Spiritual Power marks and identified Mo Liao and the Purple Huang You Snake nearby.
• Bai Ge and Xiao Xun'er left the carriage to walk in the woods, where their stroll turned into gathering food and hunting.
• That night, Bai Ge secretly left the convoy and met Mo Liao in a nearby forest.
• Mo Liao told Bai Ge that Han Feng had ordered him to abduct Jia Nan Academy people to learn the academy’s defenses and prove his loyalty.
• Bai Ge told Mo Liao to carry out the abduction the next day and said he would mark several people for him to take.

As the convoy crossed the Black Domain Great Plains, a Black Storm forced it to halt, and Mo Liao used the darkness to abduct Luo Bu and Ge Ci for his plan to win Han Feng's trust. Ruolin realized the attacker was at least a Dou King, but she could not move through the storm to stop him.

• Senior Ke warned the convoy to stay together because a Black Storm could make carriages lose their way.
• A Black Storm swept over the convoy, and its violent winds kept the Blood Fiend Elite and the passengers from moving freely.
• Bai Ge sensed Mo Liao and the Purple Huang You Snake approaching and marked Luo Bu and Ge Ci as their targets.
• Mo Liao shattered the roof of Luo Bu and Ge Ci's carriage, seized both men, and flew away into the black fog.
• Ruolin heard the cries and concluded that the attacker was at least a Dou King, but she could not pursue him through the storm.

After the Black Storm damaged the Jia Nan Academy convoy and an attacker abducted Ge Ci and Luo Bu, Ruolin organized repairs and pushed onward through the dangerous Black Domain Great Plains. The convoy survived encounters with black bandits and reached the Black Corner Region.

• After the Black Storm dispersed, Ruolin learned from Huo Shan and Bei He that an attacker with grayish-brown Dou Qi Wings had taken Ge Ci and Luo Bu.
• Ruolin had Xiao Yu, Xue Ni, and Su Die help assess the convoy's losses, repair damaged carriages, and redistribute their passengers.
• The convoy resumed its journey with much of its dry-ration supply lost and several carriages damaged.
• Several groups of black bandits followed the convoy, but they withdrew because of Jia Nan Academy's reputation and the Blood Fiend Elite guards.
• After another day of travel across the Black Domain Great Plains and nearly two hours along mountain roads, the convoy reached the Black Corner Region.

Bai Ge, Xiao Xun'er, and Xiao Ning slipped away from the convoy while it waited outside Black Seal City and headed toward the city for a meal. They reached the gate, where Xiao Ning discovered the entry fee would cost him dearly.

• Ruolin announced that the Blood Fiend Elite would stop escorting the convoy at Black Seal City and that Jia Nan Academy's Enforcement Team would join them after a day in Peace Town.
• Bai Ge agreed to take Xiao Xun'er and Xiao Ning into Black Seal City after Xiao Ning complained about the convoy's dry rations.
• Bai Ge tricked a young student into drawing the Blood Fiend Elite's attention, then led Xiao Xun'er and Xiao Ning through the opening in the guards' perimeter.
• Bai Ge, Xiao Xun'er, and Xiao Ning reached Black Seal City's gate and saw that each person had to pay ten gold coins to enter.
• Xiao Ning lamented the fee because he had brought fewer than a hundred gold coins with him.

Bai Ge, Xiao Ning, and Xiao Xun'er entered Black Seal City, where they witnessed its lawless streets and enjoyed a meal. When a green-dressed young woman stood up for an injured beggar, Xiao Ning rushed in to help as the black-clad young man’s men attacked her.

• Xiao Ning paid the ten-gold-coin entrance fee and entered Black Seal City with Bai Ge and Xiao Xun'er.
• Bai Ge and his companions saw brawls throughout the city, ate at Bao Shan Zhai, and continued exploring.
• A green-dressed young woman confronted a black-clad young man who had beaten a beggar for stealing from him.
• The black-clad young man ordered his subordinates to seize the young woman and the beggar.
• Xiao Ning condemned the attack and charged forward to help the young woman.

Xiao Ning tried to rescue a girl in green from a black-clothed young man and his servants, but he was outmatched by two Great Dou Masters. Bai Ge stepped in, crippled the black-clothed young man with Sword Qi, and faced the two enraged bodyguards.

• Xiao Ning knocked down the servants attacking the girl in green, then refused to abandon her when the black-clothed young man sent Lamo and Weiss after him.
• Lamo and Weiss revealed themselves as Great Dou Masters, leaving Xiao Ning convinced he could not win and unwilling to call Bai Ge for help.
• Bai Ge flicked a stone fragment at Lamo's wrist, giving Xiao Ning an opening to kick him away, then emerged with Xiao Xun'er.
• After the black-clothed young man ordered Weiss to kill the men and take the girls, Bai Ge struck him in the lower body with Sword Qi.
• Lamo and Weiss turned on Bai Ge after their young master ordered them to kill him.

Bai Ge defeated Lamo and Weiss after they attacked him, then killed them when they tried to target Xiao Xun'er. He also killed the young man in black despite the threat of his father, a five-star Dou Ling of the Fan Sect, and said he would seek the father out.

• Lamo and Weiss attacked Bai Ge with Frost Palm and Shattering Gold Finger, but he dodged their moves and shattered their Dou Qi Armor.
• Bai Ge struck Lamo and Weiss back, astonishing the onlookers and Xiao Ning while Xiao Xun'er remained unperturbed.
• Lamo rushed Bai Ge while Weiss tried to seize Xiao Xun'er, so Bai Ge killed Weiss and then Lamo with Sword Qi-filled punches.
• Bai Ge approached the young man in black, who threatened him with his father's backing in the Fan Sect.
• Bai Ge crushed the young man's chest and told him he would seek out his father.

After killing a young man from the Fan Sect, Bai Ge learned of Black Seal City’s annual auction and chose to attend despite the danger. Xiao Xun'er arranged for Ling Ying to secretly protect him, and Bai Ge entered the auction house as Ling Ying watched from the shadows.

• Bai Ge killed the black-clothed young man, then learned from Jasmine and her father that the victim belonged to the Fan Sect and Black Seal City was holding its annual auction.
• Bai Ge escorted Xiao Ning and Xiao Xun'er to the city gates, then stayed behind to attend the auction while they returned to camp.
• Xiao Xun'er used a disturbance to get past the Blood Fiend Elite guards and return to camp with Xiao Ning.
• Xiao Xun'er ordered Ling Ying to protect Bai Ge in Black Seal City, and Ling Ying hurried there ahead of him.
• Ling Ying secretly followed Bai Ge to the Black Seal Auction House, where Bai Ge seemed to glance toward his hiding place.

Bai Ge entered the Black Seal Auction House, learned that its three unnamed finale lots might be items of value to him, and bought a level two VIP card with three million Gold Coins. As he tried to enter the crowded Auction Hall, he noticed a second, unused passage and silenced an angry man with an indifferent glance.

• Bai Ge sensed Ling Ying watching him outside the Black Seal Auction House and entered without drawing attention to himself.
• Bai Ge inspected the auction listings and joined a queue to register for a VIP card.
• Bai Ge paid three million Gold Coins and received a level two VIP card, drawing greedy looks from people in line.
• Bai Ge reached the Auction Hall entrance, found one passage crowded and another unused, and was shoved into a burly man.
• The burly man angrily confronted Bai Ge, but Bai Ge's indifferent glance made him suddenly lose his temper.

Bai Ge used his level-two VIP card to enter the Black Seal Auction House’s VIP section, where his wealth drew the attention of greedy power players from the Black Corner Region. He noticed their intentions and quietly considered turning the tables on them.

• Bai Ge asked a burly man why a passage was empty and learned that it was reserved for guests with level-four VIP cards or higher.
• Bai Ge revealed his emerald level-two VIP card, leaving the burly man astonished, and entered through the VIP passage.
• A woman gave Bai Ge bidding placard and identity token 999, and he took a seat among the red VIP seats.
• The influential guests noticed Bai Ge was young, apparently unconnected, and only a Dou Shi, and concluded he had obtained his VIP card through wealth.
• Bai Ge sensed the guests’ greed and thought that they might become his targets instead.

Bai Ge attended the Black Seal City Auction and recognized an obscure map fragment as part of the Remnant Maps of the Pure Lotus Demonic Flame. The auction continued, and the chapter ended with the fragment being presented for bidding.

• Fan Ling sensed something about Bai Ge that reminded him of Han Feng, but his subordinate persuaded him that Bai Ge could not possess a Heavenly Flame.
• The auctioneer opened the Black Seal City Auction and offered the Wind Sweeping Clouds Fighting Skill, which the Black Emperor Sect bought for 5.89 million gold coins.
• The auction proceeded through ordinary items for more than an hour, most of which Bai Ge considered useless to him.
• The auctioneer presented a tattered, unidentified treasure-map fragment, and Bai Ge recognized it as one of the Remnant Maps of the Pure Lotus Demonic Flame.

Bai Ge recognized the Remnant Map of the Pure Lotus Demonic Flame at the auction and bought it, despite the unexpected change in its appearance a year early. After the other finale items were sold, the auction revealed a Yin Yang Profound Dragon Pill, leaving Bai Ge wondering why the plot had advanced again.

• Bai Ge recognized the Remnant Map of the Pure Lotus Demonic Flame and won it with a bid of one hundred thousand Gold Coins.
• Fan Ling suspected Bai Ge knew something about the map and began plotting against him.
• The auction sold the Flame Devouring Saber and the Gale Nether Tiger egg, neither of which interested Bai Ge.
• The auction house raised a cold-iron cage around the stage and unveiled its final item, a Seventh-grade Yin Yang Profound Dragon Pill.
• Bai Ge recognized the Pill and realized it had appeared a year earlier than expected.

Bai Ge deduced that Han Feng had brought the Yin Yang Profound Dragon Pill and the Pure Lotus Demonic Flame map to the auction early because Bai Ge’s actions had accelerated Han Feng’s plans against Jia Nan Academy. The Yin Yang Profound Dragon Pill auction ended with Heavenly Snake Manor winning the bid.

• Bai Ge considered whether the early appearance of the map and pill meant the timeline was correcting itself, then concluded his influence had changed the plot.
• Bai Ge deduced that Han Feng owned the Yin Yang Profound Dragon Pill and had put it up for auction to weaken Black Corner Region factions and recruit helpers.
• The auctioneer announced that the pill’s buyer had to agree to carry out two tasks for its owner, and the faction representatives accepted the condition.
• The factions bid fiercely as the Yin Yang Profound Dragon Pill’s price rose to ninety million Gold Coins.
• Heavenly Snake Manor outbid the remaining factions and purchased the Yin Yang Profound Dragon Pill.

After winning the Yin Yang Profound Dragon Pill, Elder Qing became the focus of the auction’s attendees, while Bai Ge collected the Pure Lotus Demonic Flame map fragment and escaped the men pursuing him. He killed a Blood Sect member named Hei Feng, took his identity, and prepared to pursue the pill under disguise.

• Elder Qing won the Yin Yang Profound Dragon Pill for 150 million gold coins, and the auction’s attendees left after giving her cold glares.
• Bai Ge collected the Pure Lotus Demonic Flame map fragment and drew a dozen black-robed pursuers while leaving the auction house.
• Bai Ge evaded the pursuers through the crowd and entered the Black Seal Grand Hotel, where they hesitated to follow because it belonged to the Fan Sect.
• Bai Ge left his room through space and captured Hei Feng, a Blood Sect member watching the hotel, then sacrificed his soul and read his memories.
• Bai Ge hid Hei Feng’s corpse in his hotel room, concealed his presence, and changed his appearance and voice to impersonate Hei Feng.

Bai Ge disguised himself as Hei Feng and infiltrated the Blood Sect as its members plotted to ambush the Heavenly Snake Manor and seize the Yin Yang Profound Dragon Pill. He hid at the back of the ambush as Elder Qing led the approaching riders toward the mountain hollow.

• Bai Ge entered the Blood Sect’s inn disguised as Hei Feng and gave Fan Ling a Magic Crystal Card, claiming he had dealt with a target.
• Fan Ling outlined the Blood Sect’s plan to ambush the Heavenly Snake Manor after Fan Lao arrived with reinforcements.
• The Blood Sect group left Black Seal City by a misleading route, then doubled back to the mountain hollow where they planned to wait.
• Fan Lao and the elder Yan Li arrived, and the Blood Sect members concealed themselves with crossbows and Qi-Breaking Arrows.
• Bai Ge hid at the rear of the ambush so he could hold back and act later.
• Elder Qing led the Heavenly Snake Manor riders toward the mountain hollow.

Fan Lao ambushed the Heavenly Snake Manor party to seize the Yin Yang Profound Dragon Pill, overpowering Elder Qing and preparing to kill her. Just as he struck at the pill, Bai Ge intervened with a streak of Sword Qi that pierced Fan Lao’s arm.

• Elder Qing halted the Heavenly Snake Manor riders to scout the mountain hollow, but Fan Lao’s Blood Sect forces exposed themselves by shooting down her energy snake and launching an ambush.
• Fan Lao admitted that he wanted the Yin Yang Profound Dragon Pill and ordered his forces to slaughter the Heavenly Snake Manor party.
• Elder Qing ordered her people to flee and confronted Fan Lao, but he defeated her and injured her with a palm strike.
• Elder Qing threatened to destroy the Yin Yang Profound Dragon Pill, and Fan Lao threatened to capture and abuse her.
• Fan Lao took advantage of Elder Qing’s shock and slashed at the hand holding the pill, but Bai Ge’s Sword Qi pierced his arm.

Bai Ge revealed himself as a Dou King, killed Fan Lao and the fleeing Blood Sect leaders, then demanded the Yin Yang Profound Dragon Pill from Elder Qing. Elder Qing surrendered the pill, and Bai Ge let her leave safely.

• Bai Ge revealed his transformed appearance and demonstrated that he had become a Dou King.
• Bai Ge killed Fan Lao with Silver Sword Qi after Fan Lao attacked him.
• Bai Ge killed Fan Ling, his two guards, and the remaining Blood Sect forces.
• Bai Ge demanded the Yin Yang Profound Dragon Pill from Elder Qing and threatened to kill her if she refused.
