Xiao Tianyang watched Hu Liena fight in Port City while learning about tensions between inland and Sea Soul Masters. He asked Madam Mingzhu to monitor Tang San’s voyage and investigate Evil Soul Master activity, unwittingly hinting that Saber was involved in the matter.

Madam Mingzhu worried that her unauthorized operation could expose her and Saber to Yuwen Chengdu and provoke conflict between the Divine Might and Black Martial Legions. Xiao Tianyang sailed toward Sea God Island with Hu Liena and Xie Yue aboard a pirate ship, warning them that they would have to fend for themselves once they reached the Purple Pearl Pirates’ base.

• Xiao Tianyang, Hu Liena, and Xie Yue landed on Sea God Island and walked through its forest, where they met a middle-aged man in a yellow robe.

• Bo Saixi pulled Xiao Tianyang’s ear until he agreed to retrieve the treasure, then headed up the mountain as he leaped into the river.
• Xiao Tianyang used a Water Repelling Pearl to descend through the sea and prepared to spend as long as necessary adapting to the underwater environment.

• Xiao Tianyang chose to keep fighting under the pressure to improve his strength and began adapting to the environment.
