The Black Empress's account and the weapon's condition undermined Cao Dezhi's explanation, leaving Zhang Huanyun and the Blood God Legion soldiers to confront the Tang Sect's apparent lie.

• Chen An told Zhang Huanyun he had found the Black Empress's weapon in the Abyss Channel and said its presence had drawn the Abyss Creatures there.
• Zhang Huanyun demanded an explanation from Cao Dezhi, who denied deliberately luring the Abyss and claimed a Tang Sect powerhouse had lost the weapon long ago.

• The Black Empress said she had sensed the weapon's aura about ten hours earlier and gathered her followers to reclaim it.
• Chen An pointed out that no Tang Sect powerhouse had died ten hours earlier and said the weapon's dirt showed it had only recently been buried in the Abyss Channel.
