Chapter Summaries

Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo worried about Xiao Tianyang’s rise within Spirit Hall and the disappearance of Ning Rongrong and her companions. Meanwhile, Xiao Tianyang learned that news of his secret deal had spread and demanded that Bibi Dong find the person responsible before he would act.

• Madam Mingzhu explained that Bibi Dong had already contacted her and sealed things off quickly, while Xiao Tianyang insisted he had not changed his mind about refusing to act.

Xiao Tianyang worried that rumors about his Spirit Hall ties could damage Divine Might’s independence and undo months of planning, so he refused to intervene in a problem that Spirit Hall should handle itself.

• Hu Liena realized that Bibi Dong’s preparations could eventually lead to conflict between Spirit Hall and Divine Might’s Iron Army.

Xiao Tianyang reviewed information on Tang San and the others, then discussed preparations for Bibi Dong’s Soul Hunting Operation with Madam Mingzhu. He agreed to make two preparations in case Bibi Dong broke her promise, but the chapter ended before they decided who would handle the second one.

• Madam Mingzhu gave Xiao Tianyang records on eight people, and he learned that Huo Wu and Shui Bing’er were among his supposed confidantes.
• Xiao Tianyang explained that he had requested the records to assess progress on his unfinished missions involving Tang San and the others.

Xiao Tianyang faced four powerful Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts while Thousand Jun Douluo, Demon Subduing Douluo, and Porcupine Douluo were trapped in battle against Da Ming and Er Ming. As the four beasts combined their domains to pin Xiao Tianyang down, he gathered his creation and destruction powers for a decisive strike, and the beasts retreated rather than face it.
