Chapter Summaries

Ye Weiming and the group negotiated how to divide the BOSS drops and who would provoke Yuanzhen, with Dao Mei proposing that the initiator choose one item and the player who landed the final blow choose another. Yuanzhen then offered them a guard-duty quest, but Ye Weiming questioned whether leaving the ruined temple would cause them to fail or abandon Fan Yao’s quest.

• Ye Weiming proposed that whoever initiated the BOSS could choose its first valuable drop in exchange for losing 500 Chivalry Points.
• The group looked to Dao Mei to decide whether she would pay the penalty, and she negotiated a chance for both the BOSS initiator and the player who landed the final blow to choose an item.
• Everyone approved Dao Mei’s proposal, while Yuanzhen grew wary of the players’ private discussion.
• Yuanzhen offered the group a guard-duty quest while he healed his injuries, and Ye Weiming questioned whether leaving the temple would forfeit their quest from Fan Yao.

Ye Weiming recognized Yuanzhen’s guardian quest as a trap, but Dao Mei attacked before he could bait Yuanzhen into giving him an excuse to strike. Yuanzhen’s injuries left him struggling to defend himself, and the party discovered that Niu Zhichun had lost Chivalry Points for attacking him.

• Ye Weiming warned the party that accepting Yuanzhen’s guardian quest could prevent them from attacking him or impose harsher penalties for betrayal.
• Yuanzhen challenged Ye Weiming to explain whether he intended to break his word, while Ye Weiming prepared to provoke him into a fight without losing Virtue Points.
• Dao Mei saw Ye Weiming’s concealed hand and attacked Yuanzhen, whose footwork let him evade her repeated slashes without retaliating.
• Niu Zhichun thrust his Ghost Gate Iron Paddle at Yuanzhen, who blocked the strike, spat blood, and stumbled backward before evading Dao Mei again.
• As the rest of the party prepared to attack, Niu Zhichun discovered that the strike had cost him 500 Chivalry Points.

Ye Weiming intervened when Yuanzhen counterattacked Dao Mei and revealed himself as a level 70 BOSS. He protected Dao Mei from Yuanzhen’s attacks, tested his perfected Hidden Dragon, Do Not Act technique, and prepared to fight without losing Chivalry Points.

• Niu Zhichun warned that anyone who joined the siege against Yuanzhen would lose Chivalry Points, and Yuanzhen launched his counterattack.
• Yuanzhen used grappling techniques to disrupt Dao Mei’s saber attacks, then shattered her protective true qi with a punch and revealed his level 70 status.
• Ye Weiming used Finger Flicking Divine Power to slow Cheng Kun, then attacked Yuanzhen with his Imperial Sword, but Yuanzhen stopped the blade with one finger.
• Ye Weiming stepped between Yuanzhen and Dao Mei and met Yuanzhen’s full-powered punch with Hidden Dragon, Do Not Act, leaving both fighters unharmed.
• Ye Weiming realized his palm technique could cancel out damage when activated in advance and told Yuanzhen that his broken promise meant Ye Weiming could now fight him without losing Chivalry Points.

Ye Weiming exposed Yuanzhen’s trap and revealed that Yuanzhen had secretly healed while teaching the team. He handed command to Dao Mei and used his taunt to keep Yuanzhen occupied as the others attacked, leaving the battle turning in their favor.

• Ye Weiming explained that Yuanzhen had tried to provoke Niu Zhichun into warning the team so he could kill Dao Mei during their hesitation, and that Ye Weiming had lost no Chivalry Points because Yuanzhen had not been treated as an opponent.
• Yuanzhen revealed that he had used the time spent teaching the team to heal his injuries and insisted he could defeat them even while outnumbered.
• Ye Weiming put Dao Mei in command and used Tai Shan's Secret to force Yuanzhen to attack him instead of Dao Mei.
• Ye Weiming blocked Yuanzhen's attacks with Dragon-Phoenix Dance while Dao Mei directed the team to use medicine and unleash their strongest moves.
• Tang Sancai, Xiao Qiao, Dao Mei, Niu Zhichun, and Cang Xingyu combined their attacks to steadily drain Yuanzhen's 550,000 health.

Dao Mei and the team defeated Yuanzhen, completing the mission to kill Cheng Kun, though Fan Yao’s death made the mission reward impossible to claim. After Dao Mei chose Yuanzhen’s shabby Gold-grade robe for Niu Zhichun, Ye Weiming prepared to take his turn choosing the remaining loot.

• Yuanzhen’s sudden speed burst froze Dao Mei and nearly let him kill her, but Ye Weiming intercepted his attack and reflected heavy damage back at him.
• Dao Mei recovered and coordinated the team while Ye Weiming helped contain Yuanzhen until the group defeated him eleven minutes into the battle.
• Dao Mei’s finishing attacks weakened Yuanzhen, and Ye Weiming claimed the final hit, completing the mission despite being unable to collect its reward from the dead Fan Yao.
• Dao Mei looted Yuanzhen’s corpse and found a tattered Gold-grade monk’s robe, an Arhat Fist manual, and 20 gold.
• Dao Mei gave the robe to Niu Zhichun, who put it on, while Cang Xingyu teased him about wearing Buddhist gear as a Taoist.
• When Dao Mei invited Ye Weiming to choose the second item, he fired a Steel Bullet between Yuanzhen’s legs.

Ye Weiming’s attempt to whip Yuanzhen’s corpse exposed Cheng Kun’s feigned death, and Ye killed him again with a palm strike. The team collected Cheng Kun’s drops after he died for real.

• Ye Weiming’s teammates watched as he tried to strike Yuanzhen’s corpse with Finger Flicking Divine Power, but the strike missed.
• Yuanzhen rose from the ground and attacked Ye Weiming, who countered with Hidden Dragon, Do Not Act and blasted him away.
• The system revealed that Yuanzhen was the level 70 BOSS Cheng Kun, who had feigned death, and announced the team’s kill and rewards.
• Ye Weiming broke free after Cheng Kun’s Phantom Yin Finger froze him, then closed Cheng Kun’s eyes.
• Cheng Kun’s loot appeared for the team, including the Turtle Breathing Technique, a Cold Jade Finger Ring, and 1,000 gold.

After defeating Cheng Kun, Ye Weiming claimed the Cold Jade Finger Ring and the party divided the remaining loot. He arranged to meet the others outside Dadu and hired Fei Yu to help find someone.

• Dao Mei realized she had already used her first-pick privilege on A Bell, and Ye Weiming refused to let her choose again.
• Ye Weiming equipped Cheng Kun's Cold Jade Finger Ring, a rare one-handed gauntlet that suited his martial arts.
• Niu Zhichun bought Cheng Kun's cassock for 600 gold, Tang Sancai bought the Turtle Breathing Technique for 500 gold, and the party assigned two manuals to Cang Xingyu to sell.
• Ye Weiming placed Cheng Kun's body in a coffin, collected three insight items, and told the others to meet him in a forest west of the city in one hour.
• Ye Weiming messaged Fei Yu, who agreed to help find someone in Dadu for 200 gold and said he would arrive in half an hour.

Ye Weiming used the manuals dropped by Cheng Kun and Fan Yao to strengthen his skills while waiting for Fei Yu, then headed to the Eastern Suburb Hunting Ground. There, he found Immortal Yunhua and his four companions and charged toward them, turning their planned ambush into a direct confrontation.

• Ye Weiming used Cheng Kun’s Internal Skill Insights to raise Primal Chaos Skill to Level 9, then used Fan Yao’s manuals and Cultivation Points to raise Yijin Duangu Bone Chapter to Level 9 and improve several other skills.
• Yin Bukui questioned Ye Weiming about killing both Yuanzhen and Cheng Kun, and Ye Weiming explained that Yuanzhen had faked his death before Fei Yu told him to meet at the post station.
• At the Eastern Suburb Hunting Ground, Immortal Yunhua and his four companions discussed delaying their attack until the end of the quest, hoping to catch Ye Weiming alone.
• Foodie Little Fairy spotted Ye Weiming outside the Small Forest and warned the group that he was approaching.
• Ye Weiming emerged from the woods with his Imperial Sword and charged toward the five riders at astonishing speed.

Ye Weiming charged through five expert players who were trying to protect Immortal Yunhua, defeating their coordinated interception and killing his mission target. The kill completed his pursuit mission and raised his Primal Chaos Skill to level 10, leaving the four surviving players stunned.

• Mountains and Rivers Meet and Foodie Little Fairy attacked Ye Weiming together, but he vaulted over them and charged toward Mortal Commoner and Duan Xiyang Wuyu.
• Ye Weiming struck Mortal Commoner and Duan Xiyang Wuyu with Hidden Dragon, Do Not Act, knocking them down and slowing them with the Cold Jade Finger Ring's chill.
• Immortal Yunhua attacked Ye Weiming with Phantom Yin Finger, but Ye Weiming shot him in the brow with a Steel Bullet and killed him.
• The system announced that Ye Weiming had completed the Resist the Chase mission and increased his Primal Chaos Skill to level 10.
• The four surviving players stared in shock as Ye Weiming revealed that he had prepared separate killing moves for Immortal Yunhua.

Ye Weiming completed his quest, defeated Immortal Yunhua, and reached Level 10 in Primal Chaos Skill before regrouping with his companions. They discussed the secret letter’s delivery quest, and Cang Xingyu guessed that Ye Weiming planned to rescue Kunlun Sect Leader Bai Luzi at Blood Gourd Valley, though more than two hours had passed since the ambush was reported.

• Ye Weiming persuaded Mountains and Rivers Meet and the other opponents to leave, then inspected the max-level Primal Chaos Skill and its mysterious Yin-Yang Harmony effect.
• Ye Weiming paid Fei Yu for helping with the quest, and Fei Yu chose to stay and hunt while Ye Weiming hurried to the meeting point.
• Ye Weiming reunited with Tang Sancai and the others and proposed discussing the secret-letter delivery quest.
• Niu Zhichun suggested delivering the letter to Kunlun Sect, but Cang Xingyu reasoned that Ye Weiming had another plan because he had arranged a meeting before leaving.
• Cang Xingyu guessed that Ye Weiming intended to rescue Bai Luzi at Blood Gourd Valley and questioned whether they could still arrive in time.

Ye Weiming explained that Fan Yao’s mission was a trap that mainly benefited the Ming Cult, and that the group could earn better rewards by finding evidence of the Kunlun Sect’s losses at Blood Gourd Valley. When they found the Kunlun members still under siege, the group chose to intervene, while Ye Weiming sent Niu Zhichun to deliver the letter as a fallback.

• Ye Weiming told the group that completing Fan Yao’s mission would benefit the Ming Cult most, while the Kunlun Sect would offer limited rewards.
• Ye Weiming proposed searching Blood Gourd Valley for evidence so the group could claim they had tried to save the Kunlun Sect and gain greater gratitude.
• The group reached the valley and saw Yuan troops surrounding a temple while a small Mongol unit rode toward the entrance.
• Xiao Qiao, Dao Mei, Tang Sancai, and Cang Xingyu voted to save the besieged Kunlun members.
• Ye Weiming gave the secret letter to Niu Zhichun to deliver and led the others to ambush the Mongol squad.

Ye Weiming's group captured Blood Gourd Monk and learned that the Mongol Court had trapped Kunlun's Three Sages He Zudao and other Kunlun experts inside Blood Gourd Temple. The group accepted a quest to rescue them and prepared to confront the approaching A Er.

• Ye Weiming's group defeated Blood Gourd Monk's Mongol soldiers, though one warning arrow reached the valley.
• Dao Mei forced Blood Gourd Monk to reveal that the Mongol Court planned to burn down Blood Gourd Temple with Kunlun's experts inside.
• Blood Gourd Monk explained that He Zudao and the Kunlun disciples were holding off four Mongol Court experts at the temple.
• Ye Weiming and the other players chose to rescue the Kunlun Sect experts, changing their quest to Rescue the Three Sages, while Niu Zhichun chose to notify Kunlun Sect.
• Xiao Qiao spotted a bald man approaching, and Blood Gourd Monk identified him as A Er; Ye Weiming ordered the group to tie up Blood Gourd Monk and prepare to fight A Er.

Ye Weiming and his companions fought A Er, whose formidable inner strength made him dangerous but whose straightforward style left him vulnerable to Ye Weiming’s slowing counterattack. After A Er called for reinforcements, Ye Weiming changed the loot plan and ordered Xiao Qiao to scout for approaching Yuan experts.

• Dao Mei bound the Blood Gourd Monk to a tree, and A Er appeared to challenge Ye Weiming for interfering with the Ruyang Prince's Estate.
• Ye Weiming exchanged palm strikes with A Er, taking heavy damage but reflecting a stronger blow that weakened and slowed A Er.
• Ye Weiming warned the group to avoid meeting A Er’s inner strength head-on, and the companions attacked while A Er was slowed.
• After A Er recovered his speed, Ye Weiming slowed him again with Hidden Dragon, Do Not Act, allowing the group to take a third of his health.
• A Er roared to summon help, so Ye Weiming canceled the final-blow loot rule, gave Old Niu half a share, and ordered Xiao Qiao to watch for Yuan experts.

Ye Weiming’s team revised its loot plan and prepared to fight A Da after Xiao Qiao spotted him approaching with the Heaven Reliant Sword. A Da shattered their attacks and charged, while Ye Weiming decided the sword should belong to him.

• Ye Weiming changed the loot distribution plan, giving Niu Zhichun half shares and assigning Xiao Qiao to scout, and the team agreed.
• Xiao Qiao spotted an approaching swordsman, and the Blood Gourd Monk identified him as A Da, who carried the Heaven Reliant Sword.
• Ye Weiming urged the team to cripple A Er before A Da arrived, then shattered A Er’s kneecap with Finger Flicking Divine Power.
• A Da arrived, drew the Heaven Reliant Sword, and revealed BOSS stats that marked him as an exceptionally dangerous opponent.
• A Da cut apart Tang Sancai’s hidden weapons and Ye Weiming’s Steel Bullet before charging the team, and Ye Weiming resolved to claim the sword.

Ye Weiming and the others changed tactics after learning how dangerous the Heavenly Sword was, focusing their attacks on A Er while avoiding A Da. As A Er’s health fell, A Da abandoned him to pursue Ye Weiming.

• Ye Weiming told the team to keep their distance from A Da’s sword qi and attack A Er, promising to split the gold among anyone who died.
• A Da rescued A Er and killed Blood Gourd Monk with one sword strike after A Er accused him of revealing their information.
• Ye Weiming, Tang Sancai, and Cang Xingyu attacked A Er from range, gradually wearing down his health despite A Da’s efforts to protect him.
• A Er urged A Da to stop guarding him and kill the players before they ruined their plan.
• A Da charged after Ye Weiming, who abandoned his attack on A Er and ran from the Heavenly Sword.

Ye Weiming’s team killed A Er during a fight outside the valley, triggering a Kunlun Sect breakout at Blood Gourd Temple. A Da pursued Ye Weiming in grief while the team prepared to support the changing battle.

• Ye Weiming lured A Da away from A Er, while Xiao Qiao replaced Cang Xingyu in the fight to protect the slower teammate.
• After A Da returned, Ye Weiming struck A Er in the forehead and triggered Tai Shan's Secret’s instant-kill effect, killing him.
• Ye Weiming grabbed Xiao Qiao and fled from the enraged A Da, while Xiao Qiao traded an item with him before they split up.
• Cang Xingyu reported that Kunlun Sect experts had emerged from Blood Gourd Temple and were fighting the Mongol forces.
• Ye Weiming told the team to prepare to act and asked Dao Mei to collect A Er’s drops before helping Cang Xingyu.

Ye Weiming and his companions failed to kill A Da despite exploiting poison and openings, so they kept him occupied while Cang Xingyu and Dao Mei carried out their plan in Blood Gourd Valley. The chapter ended as hoofbeats approached from the valley entrance, suggesting the operation had succeeded.

• Ye Weiming kept A Da chasing him while Xiao Qiao and Tang Sancai attacked from behind, and Dao Mei entered Blood Gourd Valley to assist Cang Xingyu.
• Xiao Qiao poisoned A Da with Jade Peak Needles and Soul Severing Paste, letting Ye Weiming and Tang Sancai inflict heavy damage while A Da struggled to defend himself.
• A Da recovered his composure and health, then chased Xiao Qiao until Ye Weiming taunted him back into the circle chase.
• Tang Sancai worried that his Undying Body would expire by midnight, but Ye Weiming said they could stop trying to kill A Da and trust Cang Xingyu and Dao Mei’s operation.
• Hoofbeats sounded from the valley entrance as the four continued running.

Ye Weiming’s party captured the Ruyang Prince’s young heir and used him to deter A Da and the Xuanming Elders. After the boy identified himself as Wang Baobao, Ye Weiming suspected he was more important than his guide suggested.

• Cang Xingyu and Dao Mei brought the bound Wang Baobao out of the valley while Lu Zhangke and He Biyong pursued them.
• A Da and the Xuanming Elders stopped confronting Ye Weiming’s party once they regrouped and took Wang Baobao hostage.
• Ye Weiming threatened to cut off Wang Baobao’s arm, forcing the three enemy experts to hold back.
• Dao Mei said she would claim the first loot item, and Ye Weiming agreed after learning it was not the Heavenly Sword.
• Wang Baobao named himself Kukutai Timur, the Young Prince of the Ruyang Prince’s Estate, and Ye Weiming found a guide entry identifying him as Zhao Min’s elder brother.

Ye Weiming negotiated with the captured Wang Baobao and exposed that he was Zhao Min in disguise. He secured the Heavenly Sword from A Da and left Zhao Min with his group.

• He Zudao arrived and greeted Ye Weiming and the others after helping repel the Mongol soldiers in the valley.
• Ye Weiming demanded the three servants' equipment and manuals from Wang Baobao, who said they could not trade away their personal possessions.
• After spotting Zhao Min's attempt to trick him into searching her himself, Ye Weiming revealed her identity and had Xiao Qiao search her instead.
• Xiao Qiao found a low-grade Carefree Sword Style manual on Zhao Min, and Ye Weiming took it.
• Ye Weiming demanded the Heavenly Sword, and A Da reluctantly threw it and its scabbard at him while Zhao Min remained in their custody.

Ye Weiming obtained the Heavenly Sword, only to learn that the system had made it a quest item that he had to return to Emei. He left the sword in Zhao Min’s reach while negotiating with He Zudao, who offered to combine the quest rewards into compensation for the group.

• Ye Weiming found that the Heavenly Sword was a quest item and accepted the task to return it to Emei, while a system announcement invited other players to compete for it.
• He Zudao explained that the sword belonged to Emei by tradition and that Ye Weiming had not earned the divine weapon by looting it from a defeated enemy.
• After Kunlun Sect experts arrived, Ye Weiming tossed the sword toward Zhao Min and let her believe he meant to break his promise and kill her to unseal it.
• Dao Mei threatened Zhao Min when Lu Zhangke demanded her release, and Ye Weiming rebuffed the Xuanming Elders while lamenting that the sword was useless to him.
• He Zudao offered to exchange the Heavenly Sword with Guo Xiang and combine the group’s quest rewards, promising each young hero a reward equivalent to an advanced martial art.
