Chapter Summaries

Ye Weiming and Dao Mei found Qi Li unconscious and her father dead at the Wild Baseball Gate, then summoned Sanyue and Fei Yu after suspecting the killer had left Qi Li alive to retrieve a sought-after item. Qi Li identified the killer as a gray-haired man in a golden eagle mask who wanted the Ye Qiu Boxing Manual, and she offered to hand it to the Divine Constable Bureau as Guan Wei urged her to do.

• Guan Wei rushed into the Wild Baseball Gate, mistook Ye Weiming for an attacker, and was disarmed and restrained by Dao Mei.
• Ye Weiming treated Qi Li, called Sanyue and Fei Yu for backup, and explained that old man Qi had been killed by a powerful internal strike.
• Ye Weiming reasoned that the killer had spared Qi Li so she could retrieve an item, then warned the others to stay alert for an ambush.
• Qi Li told Ye Weiming that a gray-haired man in a golden eagle mask had demanded her family's Ye Qiu Boxing Manual before attacking her.
• Guan Wei urged Qi Li to give the manual to the Divine Constable Bureau, and Qi Li agreed to fetch it.

A masked gray-robed expert attacked while Qi Li revealed the Baseball Fist Manual, overwhelming Ye Weiming and his companions and capturing Qi Li. Ye Weiming destroyed the manual after the expert killed her, then challenged him and launched an attack that the expert effortlessly countered.

• Qi Li retrieved the Baseball Fist Manual, and a gray-robed expert burst through the roof to seize her.
• Ye Weiming, Dao Mei, Sanyue, and Fei Yu attacked together, but the expert shattered their moves with one punch and used Bei Ming Divine Skill to pull Qi Li toward him.
• The expert struck Guan Wei aside, while Ye Weiming secretly took the manual and threatened to burn it unless Qi Li was released.
• The expert killed Qi Li despite Ye Weiming's threat, so Ye Weiming burned the Baseball Fist Manual to ashes.
• The expert threatened Ye Weiming, who answered with Sweep Across Eight Directions; the expert broke the sword Qi and punched toward Ye Weiming's face.

Ye Weiming confronted the powerful Huangfu Dengyun, who nearly killed him and then fought Venerable Huang. Ye Weiming summoned Dongfang Bubai by using the Mandarin Duck Silk Scarf, forcing Huangfu Dengyun to retreat, and revealed a manual that might help uncover the elder’s identity or a weakness in his fist technique.

• Huangfu Dengyun defeated Ye Weiming with a single punch, but Ye Weiming revived through the Nine Yin Manual.
• Venerable Huang intervened and fought Huangfu Dengyun, while Ye Weiming prepared to join the battle.
• Ye Weiming struck Huangfu Dengyun with Wolf Extinction Double Strike, shattering the Mandarin Duck Silk Scarf and summoning Dongfang Bubai.
• Huangfu Dengyun identified himself, declared that he would become the world’s strongest, and fled rather than face Dongfang Bubai and Venerable Huang together.
• Dongfang Bubai departed after Ye Weiming explained that he had used her scarf to summon her, and Ye Weiming showed Venerable Huang the Ye Qiu Boxing Manual.

Ye Weiming and his companions investigated Huangfu Dengyun’s motives, buried Qi Li and her father, and sought out storyteller Xu Ziyi for clues about Little Shrimp. Xu Ziyi’s advice redirected them toward searching for what Deputy Commander You Jin had left behind, and Ye Weiming hurried to pursue that lead.

• Ye Weiming revealed that he had switched the Ye Qiu Boxing Manual with a Great Strength Vajra Finger manual to fool Huangfu Dengyun, and Venerable Huang suggested Huangfu may have wanted the manual destroyed.
• Ye Weiming recovered from his injuries while Venerable Huang examined the manual, then explained that finding You Jin’s murderer remained their main mission.
• Ye Weiming and his companions buried Qi Li and her father, and Guan Wei vowed to train until he could avenge them.
• Fei Yu tracked Xu Ziyi to a teahouse, where Xu told them Little Shrimp’s legendary story; Sanyue sensed that Xu believed the tale was true but was concealing his source.
• Xu Ziyi advised Ye Weiming to search for what You Jin had left behind rather than keep searching Dukang Village, and Ye Weiming left to follow the suggestion.

Ye Weiming and his companions reported their concerns about investigating You Jin’s belongings, but Venerable Huang’s letter confirmed they must leave them untouched while he entered seclusion to prepare for Huangfu Dengyun. Ye Weiming laid out other leads for the case, then Dao Mei received orders to help command the Sun Moon Holy Cult’s war against the Five Peaks Sword Sects.

• On the way back to the Divine Constable Bureau, Fei Yu explained why searching the living Deputy Commander You Jin’s private belongings could be dangerous, and Ye Weiming decided to ask Venerable Huang for permission.
• Zhan Zhao told Ye Weiming that Venerable Huang had entered seclusion and handed him a letter instructing the team not to touch You Jin’s belongings and to proceed according to the original plan.
• Ye Weiming read the letter and concluded that Huangfu Dengyun used Baseball Fist, that Venerable Huang was preparing to counter him, and that the investigation could continue without further approval.
• Ye Weiming identified two alternative leads: finding players familiar with Chivalrous World’s original story and waking You Jin with a divine item after the world upgrade; he also planned for Fei Yu to help locate Xu Ziqi.
• Dao Mei received word that her trusted friend, a high-ranking Sun Moon Holy Cult officer, had been appointed commander of an army against the Five Peaks Sword Sects and invited her to help.

Ye Weiming and Dao Mei used Slipper One-Blade Slash’s intelligence to help the Sun Moon Holy Cult defeat Zuo Lengchan three times, leaving the Five Peaks Sword Sects divided and Zuo close to losing control. As Zuo tried to hold the alliance together at Wind and Cloud Crossing, a letter from an unknown young master arrived.

• Dao Mei credited her brother Mo Ming Bao Bao’s military expertise and Ye Weiming’s intelligence for the cult’s victories with almost no casualties.
• Ye Weiming explained that he had bought Slipper One-Blade Slash’s cooperation with a Xuanming Divine Palm manual, two treasure-grade items, and promised mission rewards.
• Ye Weiming told Dao Mei that Zuo Lengchan’s defeats and growing discontent within the Five Peaks Sword Sects meant Mo Ming Bao Bao should appear to stabilize the situation.
• At Wind and Cloud Crossing, Yue Buqun, Linghu Chong, and Bujie challenged Zuo Lengchan over the other sects’ heavy losses and the Mount Song Sect’s relative safety.
• Zuo Lengchan ordered the allied forces to reorganize, while Yue Buqun and the other leaders left with their followers.
• An inn attendant delivered Zuo Lengchan a letter marked for his personal attention and said a refined young master had insisted it was urgent.

Zuo Lengchan received Qin Chuan’s warning that the Sun Moon Holy Cult would attack Wind and Cloud Crossing, while Ye Weiming entered the Siguo Cliff cave to study the Five Peaks sword arts. After gaining most of the proficiency he needed for his Myriad Sword Foundation, Ye Weiming searched for Feng Qingyang to make up the rest and ended the chapter still unable to find him.

• Zuo Lengchan read Qin Chuan’s warning, rewarded the frightened waiter, and ordered the Mount Song Sect to prepare an ambush without informing the other four sects.
• Zuo Lengchan assigned Zhong Zhen to watch the waiter and wondered whether Miss Mo Ming had sent the warning.
• Feng Qingyang allowed Ye Weiming to enter the Siguo Cliff cave after Ye Weiming cited Zuo Lengchan’s permission.
• Ye Weiming studied the cave’s sword carvings and gained proficiency in the Myriad Sword Foundation, reaching 49.66 million points.
• Ye Weiming searched Siguo Cliff for Feng Qingyang to gain the remaining proficiency, but could not find him and shouted his name from the cliff.

Ye Weiming, disguised as Mo Ming Bao Bao, gave Zuo Lengchan detailed intelligence on the Sun Moon Holy Cult and returned to the Five Peaks Sword Sects’ war council. Zuo placed four sects under Mo Ming’s command and ordered Yang Lianting’s release, but Yue Buqun demanded that Mo Ming justify the decisions to the other leaders.

• Ye Weiming left Siguo Cliff after Feng Qingyang refused to spar with him.
• Zuo Lengchan won a battle against Yang Lianting’s forces, captured Yang Lianting, and lost Sha Tianjiang when As I Kill arrived to rescue the cult’s troops.
• Ye Weiming met Zuo Lengchan and Zhong Zhen at Green Chill Pavilion, where he revealed intelligence scrolls about the Sun Moon Holy Cult’s experts, forces, and East Unbeatable.
• After their secret discussion, Zuo Lengchan split the allied army’s command between himself and Mo Ming Bao Bao and ordered Yang Lianting released unconditionally.
• Yue Buqun objected and challenged Mo Ming Bao Bao to explain the decisions and persuade the other sects.

Ye Weiming secured command of the four sects by arguing that releasing Yang Lianting would keep As I Kill from wielding the Sun Moon Holy Cult’s full strength. After a series of battles left both sides devastated and ended with Zuo Lengchan and Yang Lianting dead, she prepared to use Zuo Lengchan’s Swordsmanship Insights to perfect Myriad Sword Foundation.

• Ye Weiming defended her proposal to release Yang Lianting by explaining that As I Kill would be more dangerous without him obstructing her, and the sect leaders accepted her as second team leader.
• Ye Weiming led the four sects to a string of victories, bringing Slipper One-Blade Slash along to earn points and repeatedly defeating or capturing Yang Lianting.
• Ye Weiming persuaded Zuo Lengchan to ambush Yang Lianting’s forces, but Dao Mei counter-ambushed Zuo Lengchan’s troops, and Yang Lianting died in the battle.
• Sun Moon Holy Cult experts joined the fighting, Sancai sacrificed himself, and Zuo Lengchan was killed amid the combined assaults.
• Ye Weiming arrived with the other four sects’ experts, drove back Dao Mei’s forces, and rescued three of the Thirteen Guardians as both sides ended the war and withdrew.
• Ye Weiming learned Venerable Huang was still in seclusion and considered using Zuo Lengchan’s Swordsmanship Insights to raise Myriad Sword Foundation to Level 10.

Ye Weiming perfected the Myriad Sword Foundation and discovered that Sword Dao Empathy let him learn the sword techniques of Juque's past masters. He met Dao Mei, Xiao Qiao, and Sanyue at Siguo Cliff to negotiate peace between the Five Peaks Sword Sects and the Sun Moon Holy Cult, leaving Yue Buqun to consider Ye Weiming's case for a truce.

• Ye Weiming raised the Myriad Sword Foundation to Level 10 and used Sword Dao Empathy to witness the techniques of Juque's former masters.
• Dao Mei reminded Ye Weiming that he had agreed to meet Yue Buqun, so he hurried to the Huashan Sect post station and joined her, Xiao Qiao, and Sanyue.
• Ye Weiming and the three women traveled to Siguo Cliff, where Yue Buqun interpreted their arrival and the Se Kong Sword as a warning.
• Ye Weiming hosted Yue Buqun and the others in the cave with coffee, then argued that the Sun Moon Holy Cult and the battered Five Peaks Sword Sects should stop fighting and recover.

Yue Buqun abandoned his bid to dominate the martial world and decided to focus on Mount Hua’s recovery, while Ye Weiming explained why Linghu Chong could lead the Five Peaks alliance. On the way down the mountain, Dongfang Bubai confronted Ye Weiming and Dao Mei after exposing Dao Mei’s identity as the Divine Constable Bureau’s spy, then demanded compensation.

• Yue Buqun agreed to restore the Five Peaks Sword Sects as an alliance and recommend Linghu Chong as their next leader, then resolved to unite Mount Hua’s Sword and Qi Sects and strengthen the sect.
• Yue Buqun’s renewed determination triggered a breakthrough in his Bixie Swordplay, just before an elderly voice praised him.
• Ye Weiming explained to Xiao Qiao, Dao Mei, and Sanyue that Linghu Chong’s lack of ambition and broad connections made him acceptable to Shaolin and Wudang, while Yue Buqun could still wield influence through him.
• Dao Mei and Xiao Qiao raced to catch a rabbit, which leaped into the arms of Dongfang Bubai, who was disguised as Xue Qianxun.
• Dongfang Bubai revealed that she had recognized Dao Mei as As I Kill, the Divine Constable Bureau’s spy, and blamed Ye Weiming and Dao Mei for the Sun Moon Holy Cult’s losses.
• Dongfang Bubai refused to let Sanyue and Xiao Qiao leave and demanded compensation from Ye Weiming and Dao Mei.

After accepting Dongfang Bubai’s quest, Ye Weiming reassured Dao Mei and the others that they had three months to prepare and could survive even if the quest failed. He then went to Wolong Ridge to meet Venerable Huang and improve his sword skills, where Zhuge Liang finally awoke as dusk fell.

• Ye Weiming and the other three accepted Dongfang Bubai’s quest to find the Everlasting Youthful Spring Technique, and Dongfang Bubai left after encouraging Dao Mei.
• Ye Weiming outlined plans to seek Wu Xingyun’s technique, strengthen the group, and evade Dongfang Bubai for the ten days he would hunt them if they failed.
• Ye Weiming considered the implications of Dongfang Bubai knowing Dao Mei’s undercover identity but letting her remain in the Sun Moon Holy Cult.
• Ye Weiming traveled to Wolong Ridge for his third visit to the thatched cottage and waited rather than wake Venerable Huang.
• While waiting, Ye Weiming studied the sword arts contained in the Juque Divine Sword and shared his prepared food with the attendant boy.
• Zhuge Liang woke at dusk and recited a verse from his thatched cottage.

Zhuge Liang prepared a formation to fuse Ye Weiming’s four accessories into Heaven’s Wrath Ten Directions, while Ye Weiming trained for the Huashan Sword Debate. The system’s rules left Ye Weiming alone in the level 180 tier, and Jiang Jin Jiu then reminded him that he had found the expert Ye Weiming had requested.

• Zhuge Liang explained that his Spirit-Gathering Formation would merge Ye Weiming’s four accessories into Heaven’s Wrath Ten Directions after forty-nine days of nourishment.
• Ye Weiming set aside his disappointment at the wait and spent five days studying swords with Sword Dao Empathy to improve his combat instincts for the Huashan Sword Debate.
• The system announced open preliminary battles and a tiered arena format in which players advanced by challenging higher-level opponents.
• The system listed Ye Weiming alone in the level 180 tier because it counted his duel with Ning Daoqi, putting him two tiers above the next group.
• Jiang Jin Jiu contacted Ye Weiming and reminded him that he had found an expert familiar with the Heroic Wind Secret Realm and Huangfu Dengyun.

Ye Weiming paid Fushiqianxunmo one treasure artifact for his knowledge of the Heroic Wind Secret Realm and Huangfu Dengyun. He learned that Huangfu Dengyun was the corrupted, older Little Shrimp, then heard that the secret realm’s next storyline would likely begin with Tale of Wuxia and involve the villain You Jin.

• Ye Weiming offered Fushiqianxunmo one treasure artifact for information, and Fushiqianxunmo accepted after their discussion of the price.
• Fushiqianxunmo explained Little Shrimp’s story and revealed that Huangfu Dengyun was Little Shrimp after turning dark and returning to the martial arts world.
• Ye Weiming assessed Little Shrimp’s formidable Baseball Fist and concluded that Huangfu Dengyun was worth monitoring but was not yet a direct threat to the Divine Constable Bureau.
• Fushiqianxunmo explained that the Heroic Wind Secret Realm drew on Tale of Wuxia: The Prequel and Tale of Wuxia, and that the next opening would likely begin the original tale’s storyline.
• Fushiqianxunmo identified You Jin, the Embroidered Uniform Guard commander, as a major villain in the prequel’s plot.

Ye Weiming learned more about You Jin’s past and arranged to trade Fushiqianxunmo’s detailed plot notes for treasure-grade items. After Huang Shang emerged from seclusion, Ye Weiming collected his mission rewards, became Acting Deputy Commander of the Divine Constable Bureau, and received the Seven Stars Mind Method secret manual.

• Fushiqianxunmo explained that You Jin was Dongfang Xi, the former Wudang disciple whose fate in the Heroic Wind Secret Realm included being ambushed and killed by Jiang Tianxiong.
• Ye Weiming offered Fushiqianxunmo two treasure-grade items for a compiled account of the plot and asked Jiang Jin Jiu how he wanted to be repaid.
• Jiang Jin Jiu asked to join the mission to find the Everlasting Youthful Spring Technique, hoping to earn the Sunflower Manual from Dongfang Bubai.
• Ye Weiming received a message from Huang Shang and hurried to the Divine Constable Bureau to collect his rewards.
• Venerable Huang awarded Ye Weiming the rewards for completing “Balance the Martial World,” including a promotion to Acting Deputy Commander, and Yi Bo Shu rose to Level 10.
• Venerable Huang confirmed that the Bureau would not abandon You Jin and awarded Ye Weiming the Seven Stars Mind Method secret manual for subduing Fire Worker Monk.

Ye Weiming received the Seven Stars Mind Method, investigated the attack on You Jin by ordering Zhan Zhao to probe Tianyi City and its associates, and learned and rapidly leveled the Nine Yin Divine Skill. The chapter ended with a server-wide Qixi Festival discount announcement as Ye Weiming considered how Nine Yin might compare or combine with Nine Yang.

• Venerable Huang awarded Ye Weiming the Seven Stars Mind Method and gave him authority over the Divine Constable Bureau’s resources for the investigation into You Jin’s attack.
• Ye Weiming ordered Zhan Zhao to investigate Jiang Tianxiong, Jiang Yu, Tianyi City, the Four Great Assassins, the four Joseon experts, Ye Gu, Yin Shiyun, Jin Xifeng, Hua Jiushe, and Xuan Li Gong, seeking evidence of their past crimes.
• Ye Weiming studied the Seven Stars Mind Method and comprehended the Nine Yin Divine Skill, then spent Cultivation Points to raise it to Level 9.
• Ye Weiming compared the Nine Yin Divine Skill’s tactical strengths with the Nine Yang Divine Skill’s combat bonuses and wondered whether the two could be fused.
• The system announced a Qixi Festival event with 10% discounts at consumer and tourism locations and a temporary 10% bonus for couple-type skills and equipment.

Ye Weiming watched highlights from the Huashan Sword Debate and paid for VIP Supreme Mode to observe the final day of the level 150 tournament in person. He watched A Huo and Niu Zhichun clash in the opening match, which ended on the brink of a mutual attack.

• Ye Weiming reviewed Zhuge Wanjun's recommended Huashan Sword Debate videos and noted Xiao Qiao's growth alongside the strength of other contestants, including A Huo and Decadent Dragon.
• Ye Weiming learned that thirteen experts were competing for five upgrades to level 180 entry tickets, with the final day of matches beginning before the Qixi Festival showdown.
• Ye Weiming paid 2,000 gold to enter VIP Supreme Mode, where he could watch the matches from the arena but could not affect the contestants.
• Ye Weiming tested the spectator mode's dimensional separation by passing a pebble and his hand through Niu Zhichun, then settled down to watch A Huo fight Niu Zhichun.
• A Huo suppressed Niu Zhichun with his powerful staff technique, but Niu Zhichun attempted a desperate counterattack as A Huo brought his staff down.

Ye Weiming watched the contestants battle for places in the Huashan Sword Debate finals, then studied their techniques and prepared to face them. As the final showdown began, a disheveled old man appeared unexpectedly, leaving Ye Weiming fearing what might happen next.

• Niu Zhichun defeated A Huo, Dao Mei beat Mirror Lake Bright Moon despite his powerful recovery ability, and Xiao Qiao narrowly overcame Yun Mian with her boosted couple-type skills.
• Jiang Jin Jiu surrendered to Decadent Dragon after explaining that Ye Weiming had made him instinctively wary of openings against the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms.
• After the first day's 156-match round, Dao Mei, Xiao Qiao, Yun Mian, Decadent Dragon, and Niu Zhichun qualified to face Ye Weiming in the finals.
• Ye Weiming studied the finalists' fighting styles, practiced countermeasures, and hosted a meal with his teammates, where he evaded Zhuge Wanjun's questions about Mo Ming Bao Bao.
• Ye Weiming and the five finalists assembled atop Huashan, where a disheveled old man appeared without anyone noticing him and startled Ye Weiming, Xiao Qiao, and Dao Mei.

Dugu Qiubai hosted the Huashan Sword Debate final and warned the six contestants that he would enforce the rules without compromise. Ye Weiming defeated Yun Mian with Sweep Across Eight Directions, then stayed in the arena to face Decadent Dragon.

• Dugu Qiubai announced that he would judge the matches, punish cheating, and choose the order of fights when no one volunteered.
• Ye Weiming volunteered to fight first, and Yun Mian entered with the True Martial Sword and revealed his perfected, self-developed Tai Chi Swordplay.
• Ye Weiming failed to break Yun Mian's Tai Chi domain with ordinary sword techniques, then used Sweep Across Eight Directions to shatter it and defeat him.
• Dugu Qiubai declared Ye Weiming the winner, and Ye Weiming chose to remain in the arena for another match.
• Decadent Dragon challenged Ye Weiming, who equipped the Limitless Iron Hands and met his Soaring Dragon, Regret with the same move.

Ye Weiming defeated Decadent Dragon, Xiao Qiao, and Niu Zhichun in the Huashan Sword Debate finals, leaving Dao Mei as his next opponent. He invited Dao Mei to fight him as he closed in on his fourth victory and a place among the Five Greats.

• Ye Weiming used afterimages and repeated Soaring Dragon, Regret palms to demonstrate ways to overcome Decadent Dragon’s Level 10 Baseball Fist, then killed him with Jade Shatters Kunlun Peak and Heavenly Demon Disintegration.
• Xiao Qiao entered the arena and asked Ye Weiming not to surrender; after more than a hundred exchanges, he defeated her by exploiting a weakness in her swordplay.
• Niu Zhichun challenged Ye Weiming to break his Indestructible Golden Body, but Ye Weiming shattered his protective energy with a golden lotus seed and sword qi, then killed him with a palm strike.
• After winning his fourth match, Ye Weiming turned to Dao Mei and invited her to fight him in the Huashan Sword Debate.
