• Zhen Lan used a silver mirror to reflect the Ghost Spiders’ Wind Blades back into the miasma, where the spiders’ agonized hisses followed.

At the Immortal Transformation Sect’s mountain gate, Luo Hong revealed that the spider was reacting to the creature in his bag, but refused to release it for inspection.

• Two Nascent Soul Mid-stage female cultivators arrived from the mountain gate and intervened as the crimson beams threatened the green-robed female cultivator and the Female cultivator surnamed Fang.
• One newcomer blocked a beam with a milky white Short Ruler and White Lotuses, while Luo Hong’s acquaintance used gold and silver light to carry the Female cultivator surnamed Fang to safety.
• Luo Hong silently made the six remaining crimson light pillars collapse.

• Luo Hong asked about the dense Metal Element Spiritual Energy at Shuo Jin Pool, and Lan Cai'er brought him there so he could reforge his damaged treasure.
