• Luo Hong failed to imprint the strange ringed treasure with his Spiritual Sense, then took out a jar of Red Luo Immortal Wine to make one final attempt.

Luo Hong failed to subdue the Taifei Clan’s strange treasure with his blood, then learned that the clan had prepared an Earth Element Immortal Spirit to awaken it. He traded a Golden Talisman Disc for the spirit and arranged a plan with Chief Taifei, while Netherworld Soul and Huang Quan arrived believing the clan had been defeated—only to discover they had fallen into an illusion as Yuan Yan prepared to attack.

• Luo Hong privately asked Chief Taifei for help, while Netherworld Soul and Huang Quan approached the battlefield believing the Taifei Clan had been nearly destroyed.
