• Ye Weiming said he had suspected Duan Xiyang Wuyu since Zhong Ling’s kidnapping, reasoning that Yun Zhonghe must have known when she would leave Myriad Tribulation Valley.

• Ye Weiming reviewed the walkthrough and wrote Six Meridian Divine Sword as the likely target of the conspirators.

Ye Weiming deduced why Jiumozhi and the players were targeting the Six Meridian Divine Sword, then received news that Sanyue had earned a lightness skill manual for helping Ba Tianshi. The chapter ended with Sanyue discovering that Soaring Dragon Across the Seas and Cloud Crane Nine Heavens had merged into an ultimate lightness skill.

• Ye Weiming reasoned that Jiumozhi planned to weaken Dali’s fighters before seeking the Six Meridian Divine Sword, while Jiang Jin Jiu and the others aimed to obtain One Yang Finger manuals from BOSS drops.

After an eight-star mission appeared requiring the players to prevent the key figures from dying and restore the storyline, Ye Weiming offered to fight in place of one of the seniors.

• Duan Yanqing proposed that he, Duan Zhengming, Yellow-Browed Monk, and Duan Zhengchun challenge Jiumozhi in internal strength while the others rescued the prisoners.
