• Su Yun met Xiao Yan and asked for the other half of the Fragmented Map, which Xiao Yan handed over after Old Yao remained silent.

Su Yun demanded that Medusa hand over the Green Lotus Core Flame and challenged her to withstand one sword strike in exchange for sparing the Snake-People Tribe.

• The Jade Fire Longsword pierced Medusa, and Su Yun said he would kill her with everything he had.

Medusa survived the Nether Poison Flame by using an evolution technique and transformed into a Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python. The newly reborn snake chose to coil around Su Yun’s wrist, becoming his pet.

• As the Purple Nether Flame Snake burned, Medusa risked everything by circulating her bloodline evolution method with her Dou Qi.

Su Yun returned toward the Imperial Capital with several gains, as Old Yao and Xiao Yan remained concerned about the Heavenly Flame.

• The Great Elder explained that the Purple Nether Flame Snake’s soul had broken free during Medusa’s evolution and resented the Snake-People who had imprisoned it.
• The Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python wanted the Snake-People to pay, but Yue Mei reminded Su Yun that he had promised not to attack them if Medusa survived.
