• Xiao Wu overheard the plan, and Zhu Zhuqing offered her a chance to help create a diversion in exchange for proving her worth and pursuing an Aromatic Silk Beauty.

• As the month’s end neared, Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing improved, Tang San’s dangerous aura grew, and Yang Yu’s Aromatic Silk Beauty phantom matured as he looked toward the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

During the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect festival, Yang Yu guided Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing through a plan to steal an Immortal Herb from the sect treasury while Xiao Wu caused a diversion. Zhu Zhuqing obtained the Ten-Thousand-Year Cold Jade Marrow Box, but triggered a hidden alarm and fled as the treasury guards closed in.

• Yang Yu used spiritual communication to direct Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing around the festival’s guards and security measures.
• Ning Rongrong identified a lapse at the treasury entrance, and Zhu Zhuqing slipped inside through a concealed vent.
• Xiao Wu set off an explosion at the festival to draw attention away from the treasury.
• Following Yang Yu’s guidance, Zhu Zhuqing evaded the treasury’s defenses and used a Void Talisman to breach the shield around the Ten-Thousand-Year Cold Jade Marrow Box.
• A hidden alarm thread triggered when Zhu Zhuqing took the box, so she used smoke talismans and fled as guards began sealing the exits.

Zhu Zhuqing stole the Aromatic Silk Beauty from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect treasury, surviving her injuries with Yang Yu’s help. Yang Yu gave Zhu Zhuqing one petal and offered the rest to Ning Rongrong, provoking her to reject it and leave in tears while Xiao Wu saw a chance to take the herb.

• Ning Rongrong slapped the herb to the floor and ran out crying, while Xiao Wu saw the fallen flower as her opportunity and Yang Yu watched the conflict unfold.

• Yang Yu explained that Xiao Wu had taken the herb herself and offered Shui Bing'er the remaining medicinal energy if she stayed to watch over Xiao Wu.
• Shui Bing'er accepted and used her Extreme Ice Attribute Soul Power to suppress Xiao Wu's unstable energy.

Yang Yu stabilized Xiao Wu after her Spirit Beast Origin was exposed and forced Shui Bing'er to keep her identity secret. He arranged a powerful third spirit ring for Zhu Zhuqing, while Ning Rongrong’s resentment deepened under his calculated influence.

• Yang Yu sent life energy through Ning Rongrong’s door to soothe her, then told Zhao Wuji to keep the academy quiet and prepare for Zhu Zhuqing’s spirit-ring hunt.

Yang Yu and Zhu Zhuqing traveled to the Sunset Forest, where Zhu Zhuqing killed a three-thousand-five-hundred-year Dark Demon Evil Tiger and absorbed its Spirit Ring. She gained a new soul skill and reached level thirty-three before following Yang Yu back.

• Yang Yu, Zhu Zhuqing, and Yue Guan entered the Sunset Forest and tracked the Dark Demon Evil Tiger remnant to an underground fissure.
• Zhu Zhuqing descended alone and fought the tiger, using a thread of pure Netherworld aura to lure it into exposing its eye.

• Yang Yu told Zhu Zhuqing to return and master her new power, and she followed him, thinking that staying with him might be her only way out.

After returning to Nuoding Academy, Yang Yu challenged Ning Rongrong to turn her hatred into a pursuit of real power, while Zhu Zhuqing and Shui Bing'er formed a cautious alliance amid the danger surrounding Xiao Wu. Yang Yu received reports on the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Tang San, and Yu Xiaogang, and left the growing conflicts under watch.

• Zhu Zhuqing returned with her third spirit ring, stabilized at level thirty-three, and began mastering her new Netherworld Soul Devouring Slash.
• Yang Yu entered Ning Rongrong's room, calmed her with the Power of Creation, and urged her to pursue strength through planning and strategy if she wanted to challenge him.

• Yang Yu ordered continued surveillance and anticipated movement from Ning Rongrong while keeping watch on Xiao Wu and the other unfolding threats.

As Xiao Wu’s Immortal Herb energy threatened to overwhelm her, Zhu Zhuqing forced it out and bought her three days. When Huo Wushuang and Huo Wu arrived at Nuoding Academy seeking the source of the energy, Shui Bing’er and Zhu Zhuqing drove them away, tightening their alliance as Yang Yu anticipated more trouble.

• Ning Rongrong studied Soul Tool principles, sect records, and other materials while Zhu Zhuqing cultivated and Shui Bing’er struggled to contain Xiao Wu’s unstable energy.
• When Xiao Wu’s energy surged again, Zhu Zhuqing guided it out with her Netherworld Soul Devouring Slash, stabilizing Xiao Wu temporarily and estimating she could last three more days.
• Yue Guan summoned Zhu Zhuqing and Shui Bing’er to Yang Yu, who explained that Huo Wushuang and Huo Wu had come to the academy after sensing the Immortal Herb’s energy.
• Shui Bing’er confronted Huo Wushuang and Huo Wu at the academy gate and attacked them with her Ice Phoenix Whirling Dance.
• Zhu Zhuqing struck Huo Wushuang from behind, allowing Shui Bing’er to freeze him and force Huo Wu to retreat with her brother.
• Yang Yu watched Shui Bing’er and Zhu Zhuqing return, then remarked that more people were being drawn in and the situation would grow more turbulent.

Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and Shui Bing'er each struggled with their own dangerous pursuits while Tang San developed a destructive evil cultivation method underground. Yang Yu discovered Tang San’s transformation and ordered Yue Guan to suppress him, leaving the growing conflict poised to escalate.

• Ning Rongrong experimented with a Soul Power signaling rune while planning ways to gain control and information.
• Zhu Zhuqing pushed the limits of her Netherworld Soul Devouring Slash, while Shui Bing'er struggled to suppress the restless Immortal Herb energy inside Xiao Wu.
• Tang San used a forbidden cultivation method to devour energy, broke through level thirty, and sensed Xiao Wu and the Immortal Herb above him.
• Tang San’s evil Soul Power erupted through the secret chamber, making Shui Bing'er, Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, and Yang Yu sense a disturbance.
• Yang Yu recognized Tang San’s corrupted cultivation and ordered Yue Guan to silence him without killing him.
• Yue Guan inflicted pain on Tang San until the evil fluctuation vanished, and Yang Yu reflected that the surrounding conflicts were drawing toward a storm.

Yang Yu’s plans converged as the Dark Demon Evil Tiger revived, Xiao Wu’s hidden energy erupted, and Tang San broke free to attack her cocoon. Spirit Hall’s Patrol Team arrived amid the chaos, and Yang Yu framed Tang San as an Evil Soul Master while asking the two Douluo to help eliminate the supposed threats.

• Yang Yu learned that Ghost Leopard Douluo Gu Rong and Holy Dragon Douluo Tuoba Xi would arrive with Spirit Hall’s Patrol Team, and he ordered Yue Guan to keep the news from Tang San.
• Over the next three days, Xiao Wu’s energy grew more unstable, Shui Bing’er weakened while suppressing it, and Tang San’s evil power continued to build beneath the academy.
• A drop of dark blood revived the Dark Demon Evil Tiger, whose sinister roar disrupted Shui Bing’er’s control and triggered Xiao Wu’s seven-colored energy eruption.
• The eruption freed Tang San from his chains, and he rushed toward Xiao Wu’s cocoon while Yang Yu ordered Zhu Zhuqing to stop him without making the fight look one-sided.
• Gu Rong, Tuoba Xi, and the Spirit Hall Patrol Team arrived, and Yang Yu described Tang San as an Evil Soul Master and Xiao Wu’s cocoon as an Exotic Treasure before asking them to help.

Tang San destroyed Xiao Wu’s unstable cocoon in a desperate attack, triggering an explosion that killed him and devastated the academy while leaving several others injured or buried. Yang Yu turned the aftermath against Gu Rong and Tuoba Xi, who were left to investigate as hidden dangers and survivors remained beneath the ruins.

• Yang Yu asked Gu Rong and Tuoba Xi to help stop the apparent Evil Soul Master, while they questioned him about the Exotic Treasure and the academy grounds.
• Tang San broke away from Zhu Zhuqing and charged into Xiao Wu’s cocoon, where Zhu Zhuqing struck him but could not stop him from crashing into it.
• The cocoon exploded, vaporizing Tang San, badly injuring Zhu Zhuqing, burying Xiao Wu and Shui Bing'er, and reducing the dormitory to ruins.
• A shadow secretly gave an injured Zhu Zhuqing a Pill, while Ning Rongrong survived in her protected room and watched the destruction.
• Yang Yu blamed the blast on Tang San’s supposed self-destruction and ordered Zhao Wuji’s Patrol Team to take over the academy’s defenses, leaving Gu Rong and Tuoba Xi to investigate.
• Yang Yu departed with Yue Guan as Gu Rong and Tuoba Xi faced the aftermath; beneath the ruins, a sinister tiger roar faded away.

Yang Yu manipulated the investigation into the academy’s destruction, planting clues to implicate the Star Luo Imperial Family while encouraging suspicion around himself. Ning Rongrong returned with evidence of the underground chamber, and the chapter ended as investigators found items possibly connected to Star Luo.

• Gu Rong and Tuoba Xi ordered a thorough investigation of an underground chamber containing broken chains and traces of evil Soul Power.
• Yang Yu told Yue Guan that the chamber’s clues would deepen suspicion and learned that Zhu Zhuqing was recovering while Ning Rongrong had collected evidence.
• Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin, and Gu Rong’s avatar visited Yang Yu, who pretended to know nothing about the attack and said Ning Rongrong was missing.
• Chen Xin found Ning Rongrong beneath the ruins, and she described seeing an evil figure emerge from a chamber while presenting rubble and scraps as evidence.
• A Black Armored Knight reported that chamber items might be connected to the Star Luo Imperial Family, and Yang Yu quietly welcomed the new suspicion.

Yang Yu used planted evidence to implicate the Star Luo Imperial Family in the secret chamber attack while protecting the unconscious Xiao Wu from being taken for questioning. After leaving the ruins, he prepared to turn the incident into a confrontation with the Star Luo Empire.

• A Black Armored Knight reported finding a Tiger Tally fragment and other evidence in the secret chamber, and Gu Rong claimed they linked the Star Luo Imperial Family to the evil cultist.
• Chen Xin noticed that the dark aura differed from the cultist’s, but Gu Rong and Yang Yu redirected suspicion toward the Star Luo Imperial Family and Dai Mubai.
• The knights brought in the unconscious Shui Bing’er and Xiao Wu, whose body carried a faint trace of Spirit Qi after absorbing the Immortal Herb’s power.
• Yang Yu blocked Gu Rong and Tuoba Xi from taking Xiao Wu, and Ning Rongrong claimed she had seen Xiao Wu trying to stop the cultist before the explosion.
• Yang Yu declared Xiao Wu a meritorious contributor and departed with her and Shui Bing’er, while Gu Rong ordered the ruins searched for more clues.
• At the guesthouse, Yang Yu heard Yue Guan’s report and planned to make the Star Luo Empire feel the Holy Son’s retaliation.

Yang Yu’s false evidence intensified the conflict between Spirit Hall and the Star Luo Empire while Ning Rongrong secretly prepared to break into her sect’s treasure vault. He arranged another lie to deepen the suspicions and ordered preparations to leave Nuoding City for Thunder Gorge, where he planned to find Yu Xiaogang and target the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

• Dai Tianfeng received Spirit Hall’s accusation and then learned that a Star Luo merchant convoy had been slaughtered with a taunting token left behind, sending the imperial court into chaos.
• Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin suspected a third party was framing Star Luo, chose to avoid involvement, and ordered the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to scale back its businesses.
• Ning Rongrong secretly mapped the sect’s treasure vault defenses and worked on a crude Soul Power disruptor, determined to reclaim what she believed was hers.
• Yang Yu learned that Star Luo was purging suspected insiders and that Ning Rongrong was studying the vault, then told Yue Guan to keep watch and help her if needed.
• Yang Yu planned for Xiao Wu to falsely recall an attacker mentioning Star Luo’s grand plan and the White Tiger, further implicating Star Luo in the explosion.
• Yang Yu ordered his people to depart for Thunder Gorge in three days, intending to find Yu Xiaogang and deliver a gift to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

Yang Yu’s convoy reached Thunder Gorge, where he found Yu Xiaogang wielding sinister, unstable Soul Power and used the discovery to force the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan to seize him. Under Yu Luo Mian’s escort, Yang Yu continued toward the clan’s stronghold, preparing to meet Yu Yuanzhen.

• Yang Yu traveled toward Thunder Gorge with Zhu Zhuqing and Spirit Hall’s Black Armored Knights while the border remained tense.
• Yu Xiaogang blocked the convoy and fought the knights with strange, corrosive Soul Power after accusing Spirit Hall of killing Tang San and destroying Nuoding Academy.
• Yu Luo Mian arrived with a Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan patrol and condemned Yu Xiaogang as an abandoned son.
• Yang Yu suggested Yu Xiaogang’s Soul Power resembled that of the Evil Cultists who had tried to assassinate him, prompting Yu Luo Mian to disown and detain Yu Xiaogang.
• Yu Luo Mian escorted Yang Yu’s convoy deeper into Thunder Gorge, where Yang Yu prepared to meet Yu Yuanzhen.

Yang Yu demanded access to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan’s Thunder Prison and used the clan’s attempt to endanger him as an opportunity to demonstrate his power. After absorbing the prison’s violet lightning unharmed, he demanded that Yu Yuanzhen discuss the clan’s future, leaving the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan with no choice but submission.

• Yang Yu learned that Yu Xiaogang had been thrown into the clan’s water prison and asked the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan to let him cultivate in Thunder Prison.
• Yu Yuanzhen agreed to open Thunder Prison’s outer region but ordered the lightning intensity raised and sent elite disciples to accompany Yang Yu.
• Yang Yu guided Zhu Zhuqing to withdraw her defenses and temper herself with lightning while he walked through the prison unharmed.
• Yang Yu used Void Draw to turn the lightning against four Soul King disciples, leaving them severely injured.
• Yang Yu absorbed the violet lightning at Thunder Prison’s center, then told Yu Yuanzhen he would take the prison and demanded a discussion about the clan’s future.

Yang Yu forced the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan to submit and ordered it to pressure the Star Luo Empire and prepare for a visit to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Back in Nuoding City, he learned Xiao Wu had awakened and planned his next moves as he prepared to leave for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, then Spirit City.

• Yang Yu decided Nuoding City's affairs were settled and prepared to move on to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Yue Guan and Yu Luosha pressured the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect into publicly declaring support for Spirit Hall's Holy Son, delivering a Purple Lightning Suanni as a gift. After their report, Yang Yu ordered the group to return to Spirit City the next day.

• Yu Luosha and Yue Guan arrived at Glazed City and demanded an audience with Ning Fengzhi in the Holy Son's name.

• Yue Guan accused the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect of dealings with the Star Luo Empire and warned Ning Fengzhi to choose a side.
• Ning Rongrong urged her father to accept the gift and said the sect would choose the strong if forced to take sides.
• Ning Fengzhi declared that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect supported Spirit Hall, and Yue Guan and Yu Luosha departed.
• Yue Guan and Yu Luosha reported to Yang Yu, who ordered them to return to Spirit City the next day.

Yang Yu received Bibi Dong’s order to return to Spirit City and bring Xiao Wu for inspection, while the convoy faced an assassination attempt on the journey. The attacker escaped after Yang Yu’s time-distorting power gave Zhu Zhuqing a chance to wound it, and Yue Guan pursued it.

• Yue Guan reported Xiao Wu’s hunger strike, Star Luo’s tensions with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, and Ning Rongrong’s secret gathering of texts and materials; Yang Yu ordered him to monitor them and aid Ning Rongrong if needed.
• Bibi Dong sent Yang Yu a secret decree praising his actions but warning him against further incidents, ordering him to return to Spirit City with Xiao Wu.
• Yang Yu obeyed the decree, and the convoy hurried toward Spirit City as Spirit Hall forces watched it with suspicion.

• Yang Yu slowed the soul attack with his power, allowing Zhu Zhuqing to strike and wound the assassin, which fled as Yue Guan chased after it.
