Xi Youqin’s family searched urgently for a husband for her because her Purple Extreme Yin Body could become part of Cui Xie’s plans, while the Heavenly Evil Sect had already sent a spy into Void Heaven City.

Xi Xiao Jie warned Xi Youqin that her refusal to marry could leave her blamed or vulnerable if Cui Xie attacked the Void Spirit Sect, but she still vowed to take poison rather than fall into Cui Xie's hands. The next morning, Luo Zheng arrived at the Xi Family Fortress to visit its patriarch, and the steward hurried inside after hearing his name.

• Xi Youqin chose to go with Luo Zheng, who withdrew his Baleful Intent and soul pressure.

Luo Zheng revealed his identity to Xi Youqin and prepared to travel from Void Heaven City to the Cloud Palace. As people fled the city ahead of Cui Xie's threatened attack, two Divine Pill Realm martial artists sabotaged a Teleportation Array.

• Xi Youqin learned that the man who had upset her was Luo Zheng, the famed martial artist her brother Xi Xiao Jie had often discussed, but she still vowed to take revenge on him.
