Su Lingxiu prepared to break through after learning about Xue Ji’s soul fragment, and the Blood Demon awakened in the Great Wilderness, intent on beginning his return in the Inner Domain.

• Tian Zi recognized the returning Blood Demon as a possible threat tied to Nether Prison and the Unchanging Divine Palace, then decided to mislead him.

• Tian Zi sought advice from Xu Junhe and Kou Ruozhi on how to keep the Blood Demon occupied, then returned disguised as the Herb Gatherer.

• The White-Robed Divine Venerable propositioned Su Lingxiu, so she struck him with an iron shovel, dug a pit, and began burying him while breaking down his divine soul.

Su Lingxiu captured Blood Ji’s hidden core soul and studied the Heaven-Opening Violet Light’s resonance, while Tian Sha negotiated with Bewitching Witch and the other Witch Demon leaders. Their alliance agreed to bring the Witch Demon World into Taicang World, where Tian Sha planned to seize its authority, and Bewitching Witch renewed her vendetta against Xu Yan and his master, Free and Unfettered.
